You, seniors leaving Avon Old Farms, move as you have moved all your lives in a free society, a society which guarantees your rights, freedoms and life. These rights and freedoms have been painfully arrived at through years of democratic living. Great wisdom and genius have been needed to procure and to safeguard the values we so glibly accept in America as commonplace. Yours is a growing America. The values you have inherited depend upon you for their protection and enlargement. We who have freely received must freely give of our time, our energy, our substance, and if need be, of our lives for the values in which we believe. You have studied earnestly for your diplomas from Avon Old Farms. You know that the world in which we live has taken the efforts of the best brains out of Americas past. Your training has made you aware of the progress that has been made in our country and in the world since our forefathers brought forth this new nation. The reforms others have made before you should give you enthusiasm to take your places in a con- stantly reforming, ever changing world. Know the truth and the truth will make you free. I shall stay on at Avon, watching with excitement the careers you carve out for yourselves in our expanding world. DONALD W. PIERPONT DEDICATION 41' Sk Mgmt- fmz efsfiggwqggswmg 4 if 2?

For more than 50 years I have remarned an rndrfferent observer seated on my cold stone perch above the dormrtory named after me I have watched boys come and go short boys tall boys fat boys thrn boys Those who thought that I was unrnterested were mrstaken for from my vantage pornt I have been able to observe closely the actrvrtres of those mortals who carrred on therr scholarly tasks below my watch ful scrutiny But alas' I am a mere statue unable to express my thoughts that rs untrl now There was nothrng that struck me as unusual on that sunny day rn September srx long years ago as surtcases rn hand the first of the class of 59 walked hesrtantly and trmrdly beneath me As the days passed rt became more and more evrdent that some of these small boy first formers were gorng to last out through the srx years whrch lay ahead and some were not It was on the former group that I concentrated my attentron They were not perfect these forbears of thrs years graduatrng class for I remember many rncrdents of boyrsh pranks and rnsrdrous practrcal jokes But ere long I saw shapes take form athletes scholars artrsts I cheered Langdon to vrctory on the grrdrron as I lauded Chef s artrstrres and Andy s scholarshrp The next year soon arrrved and wrth rt some new ma terral was added to the ever growrng organrsms of eventual success Already they had begun to make therr marks rn the varrous clubs and actrvrtres of the school George had begun to pass on hrs equestrran skrlls to others whrle Val pen rn hand started on hrs laborrous clrmb from Lower School States That to Laprdus Lrp Departrng from the Lower School at last the students rn whom I had placed so much rnterest became thrrd formers Hoover and Lanny were names that were to become synony mous wrth Dean s Lrst On the freld or rn the water the form began to take shape Ferdr played soccer Wayne sparked the varsrty swrmmrng team and Drck served wrth gusto on the tennrs courts Surely I had reason to expect great thrngs from these eager young men The fourth and fifth form years went by rn a burst of frenzred actrvrtres and then before I was aware of rt they were senrors Many had come and stayed durrng these rntervenrng ears Y In the actrvrtres rn whrch they had once been mere partrcrpants they were now the leaders Barney and Skrp havrng wrelded axes and traps for four long years were now rn command of the Nrmrod Club whrle Jock and Andy were rn the process of makrng the newspaper rnto unrque readrng materral Pete and Steve ran the Gold Key wrth steady hand and tray Frsh and George proved themselves to be able heads of the Student Councrl Hoover rose to the posrtron of president judge wrth equrtable decrsrons always the rule Through vrgorous efforts Al brought back all the enjoyment of rnter dorm competrtron whrch had been so popular rn prevrous years Whrle the school slept Lanny and Val re manned very much awake rn therr nocturnal task of produc mg a yearbook Vorces rarsed rn song the Glee Club pro- vrded hours of enjoyment under Presrdent Nate Club junror varsrty and now varsrty I saw them come a long way Grvrng no quarter and askrng none Brll Terry Chuck and Al charged through opposrng lrnes wrth un equalled power and skrll on the football field I smrled rn my stone lrke countenance as Ferdr rn hrs fourth year of soccer proved worthy of hrgh posrtron on that team as he scored goal after goal Captarn of cross country Rolf led hrs team mates on to many a vrctory Leadrng thrs years swrmmrng team was Chuck who along wrth Drape Dunc and George helped consrderably rn makrng the 1958 59 swrmmrng sea son a successful one In the gym Hutch Al Dave and Pete strarned mrghtrly at the bar and werghts On the crnder path and surroundrng area Terry Pete Rolf and Steve demon strated line skrll as varsrty trackmen Many trmes I longed to leave my rrgrd foundatron rn order to vrew more closely the fine performances of Al Nate and Matt on the dramond More than once my perch was menaced by whrzzrng tennrs balls set rnto motron by Dave Drck and Captarn Ferdr Surely no one not even I of stone could farl to be rmpressed by such a wrde array of drverse athletrc skrlls From all parts of the natron came these senrors-Dave from Calrfornra Brll Sandy and Ted from Baltrmore Krrk from Texas A wrde range of personalrtres students wrth defrnrte rdeas on the way thrngs should be done At Avon they found a welcome haven for therr drfferent rdeas and rdeals a place where the blendrng of thoughts led to the final worthy end These were good trmes to remember fas crnatrng bull sessrons lrvely councrl meetrngs and rnformal chats wrth faculty members Many a trme I observed Bucky Beaver and Beman returnrng late Saturday nrght from an evenrng of obvrous garety College admrssrons drrectors also recognrzed the fine attrrbutes whrch I had observed rn these boys from the very start and as a result the class of 59 was extremely favored rn rts chorce of hrgher educatronal rnstrtutrons Yale Cornell M I T Amherst Swarthmore Dartmouth Brown these are but a few of the campuses on whrch Avon graduates wrll appear next year I have observed the changmg of boys to men men ready to assume the responsrbrlrtres of our generatron Yes I have been a long trme searchrng for just one honest man and who could thrnk that here on thrs small rsolated cam pus I would encounter a class full of them Drogenes ,, . . . . . . . 1 9 ' U , . . . . . 1 , . , . . , ' 1 1 1 ' ' 1 ' , 1 I . , ,, . . . .

Within a few minutes of the second period, our attack moved the ball down to the three-yard line. We were halted by a strong forward wall, however, and were unable to score. Monson, at the time was ahead 6-0 and went on to score once again, bringing a close to the first half with the score 12-0. Up until the last four minutes of the second half there was a seesaw contest without any further scoring on either side. Avon was desperate, it had to score. Al Pettingill took to the air with his main target being Kirk Michaux. Kirk man- aged to get down-Held, but was quickly covered by Monson defenders and Pettingill's pass resulted in an interception by Monson men. During these closing minutes, Monson managed to increase their lead, through similar breaks, to 32-0. On Parents' Week End, Wilbraham came down as a possible New England champion. With such a strong opponent, the boys quickly recovered from the Mon- son defeat and fired again for the king As most of us will long remember this game turned out to be one of the most exciting and hard fought games we had ever had the privilege of playing or watching During the entire game a pelting rain soaked the field making the going rough for the fleet backs When the first half came to a close Avon had constantly pounded upon the door of Wilbraham but was unable to score, leaving the tally at 0-0. The second half was sensational. Avon linemen, Chuck Davis and Langdon Brown, continually pounded Wilbraham's big tackles. Bill Welch did a splendid job of manipulating the ball between his three backs, Pettingill, Tracy and Cun- ningham. One of the surprise stars of the game was Mike Fawcett, a lineman who turned in a brilliant performance. Avon just missed the scoring column when Al Pettingill managed to get around his left end, only to be confronted by the last three opposing tack- lers between him and the goal. Michaux and Brown moved from downfield quickly but were just a moment too late, and their blocks were to no availg Pettingill was brought down. Avon just missed, but Wilbraham succeeded in scoring twice, defeating a hardened Avon team, 12-0. Cranwell was our closing game. We were riddled by injuries and the spirit was not at its best. Al Pet- tingill and Chuck Davis were out with injuries suf- fered during the last game and were unable to render their services This game was a disappointing closing for us and we lost 30 14 but no matter how our record turned out the team will always be proud of that one game with Wilbraham which we fought for Coach Herb Cochrane i-0.1 if Q hw. .1 14 127 I - s ' Q 3 , . , . .

Wells, Noyes BASEBALL SEASON At the seasons start, the teams biggest problem was to fill the gaps left by six members of last years varsity who had graduated. However, with the abun- dance and quality of new material, this problem was soon dealt with, and the team only needed to iron out a few rough spots. It was thought to be impossible to hll the hole left by Rick Rickards, last years backstop, but Mike Faw- cett, up from the j. V. ranks, and Art Rovetti, a new- comer, showed that they were more than acceptable substitutes as they jointly handled the receiving duties, On the mound, we had johnny Aird and Al Pettin- gill, two veterans who led the team in batting as well as in pitching. Aird, with his good fast ball, and Pet- tingill, possessed of a remarkable pitching savvy, al- ternated on the hill, First base did not present too great a problem, as Steve Igo and Stu Barr proved that they could handle this difficult position. Both these boys also saw some action as pitchers. At the keystone positions, second and short, we were fairly strong as Nate Tracy, another veteran, nailed down the shortstop berth, and Bob Bogino and Frank Gallo vied for second base honors. Third base was our only real trouble spot, but Tom Pettingill and john Aird, when the latter was not pitch- ing, did commendable jobs filling in at the hot spot. In the outfield were veterans Matt Betley and George Viering, along with Baker, Pope, and on oc- casion, Al Pettingill. Certainly the credit for any and all success which the team enjoyed should be bestowed upon Coach Cochrane who was behind his boys every step of the way, and whose only demand was that they do their best.

Robinson TRACK SEASON Track has always been a most popular and success- ful sport here at Avon. ln the past three years, this sport has grown and prospered under Coach Frank Efinger. Coach Efinger was a fine runner in both pre- paratory school and college, to this day, he can keep up with the best of his trackmen. This year his team looked better than ever. The distance runners, with a half a year of rigorous training in the form of cross country and winter track behind them, appeared as if they would compose the backbone of the 1959 track team, The whole of the cross-country team, Ralph Olson, Bill Powers, Bill Em- rich, Enrique Garces, Ty Place, Dan Berry and Ted Marvin, were competitors for starting slots in the mile and half-mile races. ln the 100 and 200-yard dashes, Doug Marshall, Ralph Olson and Bill Welcli were Avon's main entries. Marshall had been clocked at 10.5 seconds in the 100 which is only three-tenths of a second off the school record. Pete Erskine and Doug Marshall handled the dif- ficult job of the high and low hurdles respectively, while Cole Van De Water, Porter Daniel and Kirk Michaux were Avons principal high-jumpers. The shot-putting this season was done by returning letter- men Chuck Davis and Duncan Finlayson, with the former being our number one man in the broad jump. Sandy Fisher and Pete Erskine, both of whom had gained much valuable experience last year, were our pole vaulters. -Aamir 1959 TRACK SCHEDULE Aprnl 18 Avon Mxllbrook Aprnl 24 Avon Trlnnty College Freshmen May 2 Avon Wesleyan Umversnty Freshmen May 9 Avon Wllbraham May 16 Avon Hopkms Grammar May 23 Avon Wlllnston May 30 Avon Amherst College Invrtanonals TRAMPOLINE F1rstRovw Cleft to rlghtb Rovssc Henderson Kxmball Levaur Second Rovs Cleft to rxghtj Setdel Youngman McI.aughl1n fn X f' J vt-V 'PN 2' ,JA QQV tv W R E S T L I N G Cleft to nghtj Selferr H Mlller jackson WEIGHT LIFTING btandmg Qleft to rxghtb Igo Magnatta Burney Cunmngham Garces Noye A Pettmgnll Yan Ness Rovettn T Pettmgnll Howe Palmer Seated Qleft to flghff C Reese Hutchmson Arrd L Brown Gans Ramsey Herrera D Davns Mlslrck Fowler Melvllle J Erskme Squattmg Cleft to nghtk Mxchaux McShane jackson Hawley Seifert Pope Costello V Vnermg Bogmo Lacoste H Mxller Wyatt Beck B O X I N G btandmg Cleft to rnghtj Stavers Barr Flsher Sagal Back Row Cleft to rrghtb Fmlayson Marshall Welch A Pettmgrll Bradley Beatson G Brown Marks Garces Antolnnl Favtcett Thrrd Row Qleft to rrghtj P Ersknne Betley Herrera Van De Water Toogoocl Danrel C Davrs jackson Second Row Cleft to r1g,ht1 C Robrnson D Davrs Strllgebauer Henschel Phrllrps T Pettrngrll Berry Cunnnngham Frrst Row fleft to r1g.,htJ Tracy Powers Ilmrnch Wllrams Sumner A CLUB SENIQRS Beatson Tenms 58 Nlrchaux Football 58 Betley Baseball 58 Pettmgrll A Football 57 58 Baseball 58 Bradley Football 57 58 Pettmgrll T Football 58 Brown L Football 58 Phrllxps Swrmmnng 57 58 Davrs C Football 56 58 Swrmmrng, 58 Tracy Swrrnmmg 58 Football 57 58 Baseball 58 Davrs D Football 58 Vrerrng G Swrmmmg 58 Football 58 Erskrne P Soccer 57 58 113215613311 58 Frnlayson Swrmmmg 58 Welch Track 57 Baseball 58 Football 56 57 Herrera Soccer 57 58 Tennls 58 58 Soccer 58 Marshall Soccer 57 58 Attr1de Tennls 58 Cunnrngharn Football 58 Baseball 58 Danlel Emrlch Iackson Antolmr Fawcett JUNIGRS Robmson C Tenms 58 Football 58 Cross Country 57 58 Track 58 Soccer 58 yan De Water Swrmmmg 5 Wrllrams Soccer 56 57 58 SOPHOMORES Swrmmtng 58 Henschel Swnmrmng 58 Football 58 Marks Swrmmmg 58 Garces Cross Country 57 58 Track 58 Toogood Tennrs 58 FRESHMEN Berry Cross Country 58 Brown G Swlmmmg 58 Powers Cross Country 57 58 Track 58 Strllgebauer Football Manager 57 58 8 Track 58 I 'AZ 1 1 1 - 1 1 1 - 1 1 1 1 Y 3- 1 1 1 1 1 1 - 1 Y ,Y 4 . . ,. .. . . - - 1 1 1 1 1 1 - 1 1 , : '1 Y 14 1 1 1 QQ 93 T A .- 1 - - 1 1 ' 1 i 7 'L 1 a 1 1 1 1 1 1 s 1 -T , .. . . , , a 'Z T 1 . i 1 1 . - -Y1 'T . . , ' 1 1 . 9 - 1 s 1 9 9 . , .. . . , ' , A s 'i a -Z s 9 - 1 1 ' a -Z a 1 - - 1 ' .

Organization and good leadership for which Walt Kincaid and Chuck McLaughlin should be congratulated and Mrs Pierpont together wrth her cohorts of faculty ladies gratefully thanked On the eve of Columbus Day October ll some fifty odd couples could be seen whirling around the dance floor to the music of Lou Solway The setting was in accordance with the season and from this came the title of the affair the Harvest Hop As the hands of the clock neared the witching hour the couples were most hesitant to break up their tete a tete dancing but all good things had to come to an end When next the refectory was the scene of such showed that it was November 22 However the corn ing of jack Frost was joyously greeted as Avonians waltzed their dates around the floor to the music of Ptul Landerman Unfortunately the winter formal did not take place as was planned However in its stead the informal Valentine s Day Dance was a very ample substitute The final term and the approaching end of school mnounced the Spring Festival more commonly known as the Senior Prom As has been the case in past years this event proved to be the highlight of Avon s social season ' I . .
