X 'ii THE DEDICATION The Class of 1963 sincerely dedicates its yearbook, the Winged Beaver, to the Spirit of Avon Old Farms, a spirit which has come into its own in 1963, and which will, as the years progress, continue on to new heights. , ..,v , .- 1:1- nw' F! 'nail- Af, IN APPRECIATION Ordinarily an appreciation would be awarded to a member of the faculty or coach- ing staff. We have here at Avon Old Farms a person who is connected with neither of these Fields, but who is well known throughout the campus. For many years this man has worked diligently in the workshop, in the school store, and with Mr. Dur- phey in Nimrod Club activities. Everything about him radiates friendliness and sincerity. For his dedicated loyalty to Avon Old Farms, for his tremendous under- standing and warm personality, the class of 1963 wishes to express its heart felt ap- preciation to Sidney Riendeau. 4 TABLE OF CONTENTS DEDICATION ............

' 'QM DONALD W. PIERPONT Provost Richmond College, BA., Graduate Study, Johns Hopkins University, Columbia: Faculty, Columbia College, Columbia University, 1945-194-7, Parsons College, L.L.D. This is Dr. Kinkade's twelfth year as dean of Avon Old Farms. He handled the academic side of the school. He completely controlled report cards, study halls, classroom misdemeanors, and aca- demic failures. The seniors were greatly depend- ent upon the Dean when the confusion of seeking colleges began. He had to study every senior's past record and inform him as to which colleges he should apply. The academic side of a school is highly important, and the Dean's office is an ex- GEORGE D. KINKADE Dean Teachers College of Connecticut, B.S., Yale University M.A., Ph.D. Plppointed 1948. Mr. Seybolt was Aide to the Provost this year. He was in charge of all the disciplinary actions of the school. He prescribed punishments for students who were neglecting their. duties as citizens of Avon Old Farms. This year a new system of dis- cipline replaced the old. One significant item was that lists of absences and misdemeanors were no longer posted on the bulletin boards. Mr. Seybolt handled his difficult position skillfully and gained the respect of many students. 9 tremely efficient one. CARLTON B. SEYBOLT Aide Colgate University B.S. Graduate Studies, State Teachers College, Cortland, New York, Syracuse University, Bridge University M.A. Appointed 1961. Mr. Hammons serves Avon in many varied capaci- ties, being the Assistant to the Provost, Head of Public Relations and Alumni Relations, and Ad- missions Director. He has carried out these jobs since 1948, and during the past year Mr. Harnmons has worked dilligently to gain vast publicity for Avon in order to better our chance of raising the necessary funds to complete the new building pro- gram. Constantly striving to further the best inter- ests of our Hne school, this man has travelled widely on behalf of Avon, and when on campus has a friendly word for everyone. WILLIAM M. EASTWOOD Comptroller Yale University, B.S., B.E. Abbointed 1953. BERNARD R. HAMMONS Assistant to the Provost Public and Alumni Relations Ad- missions Extensive Courses, Yale Univer- sity Appointed 194-8. Mr. Eastwood has long worked for Avon in the position of Comptroller. It is his job to see that the complicated financial operations of the school run efficiently. He must plan the school menu, pro- cure classroom supplies, and many other items ranging from the amount of chlorine in the pool to the quantity of electricity consumed by Avon- ians. The Comptroller is called upon to be an engi- neer, a dietician, a financial expert, and an all around consultant on almost anything. The greater portion of this manis work is done behind the scenes, and without him Avon's finances would not run as smoothly as they do. 10 WELLINGTON J.

ACUCHES P1 NARRAIIVE POEMS , Avon's English Department, headed by Mr. Sidney Clark, instructs the student body in the more profound ideals of the language and its literature. Avon's English courses are taught by very competent instructors, Mrs. Ellovich and Mrs. Kilgour in Third Form, Mr. Stanley in Fourth Form, Mr. Ramsey for Fifth Form, and in Sixth Form, Mr. Clark. The lirst three years of English are spent in building up a substantial background of grammar and reading compre- hension. Students in these years read books by varied authors to give them a working knowledge of literature. Their Fifth Form year is spent on a course in English literature. Sixth Form English, taught by Mr. Clark deals with American literature. The course deals with the abstracts as well as the realities, and is a superb preparation for any college course. 11 RICHARD W.

Topics are: divine right monarchy, popular revolution, nationalism, imperialism, in- dustrial and social progress, warfare and efforts towards peace. The main point throughout is the idea of steady change from autocracy to democracy with its recurring set- backs and continuing conflicts. The U.S. History course emphasizes the several forces which have permeated and largely directed the progress of Ameri- can History, the conflict of the forces of nationalism and sectionalism culminating in the Civil War, industrialism with its impact on the socio-economic conditions of the people, the westward movement, and American Foreign Relations with the emphasis on United States growth to a position of world leadership. American History is taught by Mr. Tongue, head of the History Department. The Contemporary History Course, taught by Mr. Mendell, is open to seniors who have successfully completed the courses in European History and United States History. The course is, the study of the present. It emphasizes particularly the origins and development of current international tensions and the critical positions held by the United States in world affairs. THOMAS T.

Mr. Baker teaches Spanish, Mr. Kenney, Russian, and Mr. Lapidus, French. This year modern languages are taught differently than in past years. Due to the addition of a language laboratory the emphasis is now placed on the ear, rather than the eye. Russian was a new language at Avon. Seven boys took it this year, and more will probably take it in the future. Avon Old Farms is indebted to Mr. Abram S. Valentine for donating the new language laboratory. Its use for the development in pronunciation will aid greatly in the teaching of languages. ,Q g E .E maniae,spesoiidissimaleufrg E 'Q 'Q 'Z ai A 5 Q ,, .7 .

They do work on physical principles, electric circuits, simple mechanics, heat energy, and even rockets. Lab reports are done for the Hrst time. The Sophomores take Biology under Mr. Van- dervliet. Until Christmas, work is done on botany from algae to the most advanced plant life. From Christmas to early spring, they go from the amoeba and paramecium to man in zoology. The rest of the year is devoted to genetics and evolution. The Juniors take Chemistry under Mr. Doch- terman, who has compiled an experiment man- ual used only at Avon. In Advanced Chemistry, the Juniors and Seniors work at their own pace, the lab is open twenty four hours a day, thereby giving the boys a sense of responsibility. The Seniors under Mr. Kilgour take Physics for engineering courses in college. Of all the sciences this requires the highest degree of math ability. W.

The Student is able to try the many techniques and types of art, thus rounding out his art education. The Music Department, directed by Mr. Jack Grove, gives each student a basic education in understanding music. The course goes into the backgrounds of music and covers the study of various composers from earlier periods to mod- ern times. The Ceramics Department, directed by Mrs. Peggy Beck Evans, deals with the many differ- ent methods of shaping clay and in design. The students are able to make clay products of their own design with the potter's wheel and to glaze and fire them in the kiln. Woodworking taught by Mr. Wilbur Durphey gives the student a working knowledge of dif- ferent tools and machinery. This knowledge is put to use with the making of wood objects of practical value. T.

This early in the year you have made your mark on Avon Old Farms. Before the football team had beaten the Kingswood Varsity or the leaves had fallen from the trees, three members of your class had already been accepted by the colleges of their choice. The school morale has never been so high, its spirit never so good, nor its academic achievements so great. Much of the credit for this year's splendid school goes to the class of ,63. You have given of yourselves freely and unselfishly for Avon. Your lively concern for a constantly improving school has borne fruit. The Glee Club is the best to date, the teams are excellent, community service projects have been cheerfully accomplished. Your masters have reported that you are the best senior class to date. I know by the time this Year Book is in your hands you will look back with satis- faction on a year well lived. You may look back with pride at your achievements in student government 5 you can remember the social events with pleasure. It is with pride in you that I see you go out as graduates of this school, with delight that I look forward to your return to Avon from all parts of the worldg with pleasure that I recall the events of your stay here which this Year Book chronicles. As you go on to continuing success in the future, c'May God bless you, everyonef, Sincerely, DONALD W. PIERPONT 18 3 V it k P H 3, Wax ' The class of 1963 was unique, it cared. The class had a definite image of what they wanted to do with their lives, and were determined to have their wishes carried out. Their college boards and class room achievements were of prime importance to them, The class was an individualistic one, yet still maintained a distinct responsibility toward mem- bers of the school. With this care they brought a new name to Avon, one which will last. They were outstanding on the athletic Held, and in the classroom. Wfithout a doubt, the class of '63 was one of the most well rounded classes to ever grad- uate from Avon Old Farms. Wfith the background and maturity instilled by the school, and the personal concern of each member for his future, the class of 1963 is stepping out into the world, A a world filled with yet-to-be-en- countered-road blocks, which will undoubtedly be removed with a minimum of clifliculty. Unique, mature, and bright, the class of 1963 begins a new life, thankful for the opportunity Avon has given them to become men. 20 SIXTH FORM HISTORY CLASS OF 1963 V.

This division was made up of the First and Second Forms. Due to Avon's development and to the increasingly smaller size of these two classes, we no longer have a Lower School. The Class of 562 contains six boys who have been at Avon for five years. These are the last of the Second Form. The boys are Alan Jenkins, Rick Duff, Peter Trimingham, Bob Walker, Lee Turner, and Rob jones. Five years is a long time at Avon. Masters have come and gone, the student roster has changed several times, with the beginning of the development plan many physical changes have occurred. During the time spent at Avon these six students have made the transforma- tion from boy to man. They have gained the knowledge which only time and experience impart. The Winged Beaver wishes to bid fare- well to the last remaining members of the Lower School. ' s 5 ? i Q - i a E f Q 5 S Q 3 The Fifth Form this year did not differ drastically from the Fifth Forms of the past. We studied, worked and played equally as hard or harder than classes preceding us. Hopefully, succeeding classes will better the standards we have set. Members of our class contributed greatly to all phases of campus life, including scholastics, athletics, and extracurricular activities. As the year opened, many well-endowed new stu- dents helped our class reach its peak. Excellent poets and artists added a new Havor to our many achievements, not to mention the athletes and scholars which we have gained. Our many old students also helped our form progress towards the ultimate goal of seniority. Individuality also became an important factor in our activities. Various people improved upon old skills, while at the same time developing completely new and diversified talents. These tended to help our class become more well-rounded, and also gave us a sense of direction absent in previous years. In conclusion, our class has at least 'attained many of its old goals, while at the same time setting many new ones, most likely to be attained in our senior year. Once these are accomplished, we will most certainly have a good start on the long, hard path of life. 54- FIFTH FORM HISTORY FIFTH FORM Left to Right: FIRST ROW,' Lincoln, Archibald, Harwood, Carr, Weeks, Zinsser, Brick, Holcombe, Prudclen, Dale, Ward, Copley, Eddy, P., Lopez, Kay, Valentine.

Highly original and with an energy that seems almost boundless, they do everything with speed and style. The high power was channelled into a deeply constructive year. With many new boys this year fabout one third of the fornil, the class received much new blood, and many new personalities. In athletics, this form has certainly done well. Many of the boys are on Varsity and Junior Varsity sports, and all of them worked willingly and earnestly. Many made Honor Roll, and several the Deanis List. Many are enthusiastic members of the Nimrod Club. Many served in community service, supervised teas, transported food to the infirmary and managed athletic teams. Fourth Formcrs con- tributed greatly in every phase of school activity. 58 FOURTH FORM HISTORY FOURTH FORM Left to Stokvis, Pepper: Stewart Right 7 FIRST ROW: Rozinsky: Levinson: Cole R.: Spencer: Leonard, W.: Adams, J.: Long: Brooks!

I N 60 5 lx ' 61 The third form in a school such as Avon Old Farms is a very important form, It is one which is looked at by all with certain expectancy. The fresh- man class is unique in that it is made up entirely of new boys who have yet to show their attributes and potential. Old students and faculty alike look toward the incoming third form as schoolmates, athletes, scholars, and leaders. This freshman class has not been a disappointment. As far as studies are concerned, Bill Merritt, David Saunders, and Richard Reventlo all were excellent students. On the Ramsey i'Raiders, Quentin Fietner was invaluable to the team's success, while Bob Moser worked hard to help the Varsity Foot- ball team. David Frazer and David Hallum played well for the Junior Varsity Soccer team. Many members of the freshman class have been active in clubs and various other school functions. As the year draws to a close, the Third Form has progressed from a loosely constructed group of frightened new boys taking their Hrst faltering steps away from home to a tightly knit class eager and ready to accept the responsibilities of the Fourth Form. When next fall arrives, they will all be some- what concerned as they watch a brand new group walk through Diogenes archway prepared to begin their life at Avon Old Farms as they themselves did a year before.

McLAUGHLIN The Student Council at Avon Old Farms is a unique organization of student representation. Noted for its importance and faimess, the Student Council decides on many of the rules and regula- tions, as well as new freedoms and social activities at Avon Old Farms. The council is a student organization in that its members are elected by popular vote, and backed by the faculty. With this democratic method, and active student participation, the importance of the council has aroused a great interest in other schools with which we have held conferences. For any council to function as a true representative of the student body, it must have the powers with which Avonis council is invested. Mr. Seybolt, the faculty adviser for the student council, presides at all the meetings serving as a representative for the faculty. FIRST TERM SECOND TERM LEFT TO RIGHTQ FIRST ROW: DUFF, R.5 MR.

To become a lawyer, a student must take the Bar Course. The Bar course is a briefing session held by Pope Reed, the President Judge, and is available to every student. It is given twice during the school year and covers' all ordinances, points of law, and courtroom procedure used in the Avon Old Farms community. At the end of the course, a two-hour examination is given covering procedure and law at Avon and a hypothetical case in which the student must find a legal out.', If a student passes the examination, he receives a certifi- cate and is allowed to defend students in court and give legal advice. The boys who become lawyers have a natural interest in law, and many plan to attend law schools in the future. COURT SYSTEM L to R: Leith, Reed, Pres. Judge, Bennett, Curtis. It is the purpose of the Judicial Branch of Avon's Student Government to develop responsibility in boys, to teach them a little about law, and to provide a fair system of discipline. The Court System is made up of two courts, Police Court and a higher court or Court of Appeals, Suni- rnary Court. Under the leadership of Poulson Reed, President Judge, and his associate judges, Knick Curtis, Robert Leith, and Richard Bennett, the Court System has progressed 'iwithout partiality, favor, or affection, to become a highly respected and necessary organization at Avon. Other necessary positions in the Court System are: Village Clerk, is responsible for keeping the court records in order, and the Village Attorney, who represents the Village in Suininary Court cases. These positions are filled by Richard Valentine and Jon Salony respectively. Other partici- pants are the lawyers, who act as counsels for dc- fendants and Mr. Seybolt giving guidance as thc faculty advisor. Through interpretation of the law, the Court System is constantly striving to make Avon a better school. 71 r Left to Right, FIRST ROW,' Curtis, VanDeventerg Horner, Reed, Leith, Adams, T.5 Jones, R., Blalock, Brainardg Herstoneg Garrick, LaMottag Turner, Towers, Voorhees, McLaughlin, SECOND ROW,' Duff, R., Hynsong In every school such as Avon Old Farms, it is neces- sary to have various laws of conduct and procedure, in order to maintain a strong and honest student body. It is the function of the monitors to uphold and enforce these rules under which the Village operates. Monitors control the study halls, enforce the ordinances of the school, tum in offenders to the student court, serve at the tables, regulate the stu- dents' conduct in the refectory, and take attendance at chapel. Their duties arenit merely those outlined Underwood, Rosenbloorn. above, but they must also set proper examples for the students and in an emergency, be able to control and lead the students. The monitors are elected from the Junior and Senior classes, and reside in each dorm where they carry out their duties in maintaining a clean dormitory, and regulating student conduct. Their duties carry on off campus in helping maintain the good name the school has in adjacent towns. SENIOR FAVORITES Type of Girl .... Cirl's School ... Extra-Curricular Activity . . .

Since the Winged Beaver is a memorial to many years of both work and pleasure. This year's staff has done its utmost to provide an annual that will long be cherished by its possessors. Many new ideas have been initiated for this year's book so as to attain a pleasant break from tradition. Mr. Clark and Mr. Jones in their positions as advisors were of great as- sistance in helping the staff to produce the end prod- uct. By continuously working on the Winged Beaver, the staff had some good success in avoiding the last min- ute rushes which have been the curse of many pre- vious staffs.

The Avonian, Avonis newspaper, is a valuable part of school life. It reports sports events, interesting club news, outstanding student achievements, and news that would otherwise remain obscure to the students and parents. The Editor-in-Chief of the Avonian was Warren Van Deventer. He was assisted by Jack Stokvis, the Asso- ciate and Photography Editor, and Rick Hynson, Feature Editor. His staff did an outstanding job reporting campus news and club news. The News Editor was Rick Valentine, while Hal Jones worked hard as Sports Editor.

It is responsible for taking attendance at meals, delivering notices at meals, and for taking food to the Infirmary. The Committee is divided into two staffs, the Dining Room Staff and the Infirmary Staff. The boys on the Dining Room Staff take attendance and deliver messages at all meals. They must make a list of the boys who are absent at breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and turn it into the Aide. At lunch they must distribute important messages from the Aide, Dean, and Infirmary. Members of the Infirmary Staff are responsible for tak- ing meals over to the sick people in the Infirmary. These members must first report to the Infirmary before each meal and find out how many meals are needed. Then they must pick the food up in the kitchen and carry it over to the Infirmary, regardless of the weather. It is quite evident that Avon owes much gratitude to the Dining Room Committee. The Dining Room Com- mittee is under the supervision of Mr. Kilgour. Rob Jones is Chairman of the Committee. l E l W 1 w l 83 Left to Right: Ist ROW: V l a entine, Stokvis, J.

Its purpose is the handling of the social needs of the school and seeing that they are car- ried out efliciently. To Make What Goes On At Avon, Go Better is the club's motto and is is genuinely lived up to. The Gold Key is in charge of the Sports' Teas and Sunday Teas at the Pierponts' and Kinkades' homes. The club is very selective in choosing its members. A student interested in being a member of the club must first go through a trial period during the Fall. The boys trying out for Gold Key are assigned various activities which are supervised by a club member. They are taught the correct forms of social customs. The faculty advisor is Mr. Dochtermann, who has con- tributed greatly to the improvement and success of the club. Jack Stokvis handled the Presidency and must be commended .for his unselhsh devotion to the better- ment ofthe Gold Key.

The staff is present every period when the library is open to provide infor- mation and help for students in search of books or periodical articles needed for research. The staff also keeps the volumes in repair by strengthening the bind- ings and other minor repairs. Staff members help to prepare books for circulation. Being on the library staff is an education in itself. One learns the library techniques which are invaluable in ROW: Williams, B., Holby, Hess, Estabrook, Hamilton, Eddy, R. 4th ROW: Jones, R., Walker, J., deGunzburg. doing research in any library. Since the Dewy Decimal System is used throughout the country, the staff mem- bers could easily adapt themselves to any library which they might have occasion to use. Since the retirement of Mr. Norman, who has been of great service to Avon during the past four years, the leadership of the library staff has been turned over to Mr. Craig, Librarian, Dick Herstone, the Chairman, and Lew Favorite, Junior Chairman. l Left to Right: FIRST ROW: Williams, D.: Eddy, P.: Wei- Gagnon, G.

The Clee Club was one of the most successful Avon has seen in many years. More arrangements were sung than in the past. This is partly because this year's club could absorb more music than previous groups. Avon had six concerts this year. The schools were Chaffe, Rosemary Hall, Mary A. Burnam, St. Mar- garet's, Stoneleigh Prospect Hill, and the Newport School. Each was a memorable occasion. Each concert begins with the Girl's Glee Club singing their various arrangements. Then the Avon Club fol- lows and presents theirs. The Avon Heirs come next and add humor to the occasion. After this the com- bined Clee Clubs attempt to sing a joint number. This arrangement has never been previously rehearsed and no one knows exactly how it will sound. A dance ends the occasion with music supplied by the Avon band. Mr. Grove has done an excellent job with this group of boys. The Glee Clubs of the future may have to look back at this year's club with envy. 89 FIRST ROW: Left to Right: Mr. Tongue, Lyon, Horner, Stokvis, J., Valentine. SECOND ROW: Williams, B., Leonard, W., Taliaferro, Baer, Harwood, Steinback, Dale At Avon Old Farms we believe that the worldls vital and pending problems can be viewed intelligently only by having small informal discussions. It has been the policy of the History Club to fulfill this goal. This year the interest on the part of the student body was so great that the club quickly reached its small charter of twenty-one students. With its officers, Jack Stokvis - President, John Horner - Vice President, Rick Valentine - Secretary, and Wooly Lyon - Treasurer and with strong support from Masters Tongue, Mendell, and Kimball, the club functioned smoothly. The highlight of the year was the Model United Na- tions assembly held annually in April at the University of Hartford under the auspices of the F.P.A. Jack Stokvis was elected to the position of Vice- President of the General Assembly, while Robin 7 Holby, Keyston, Wagner, Bishop, Benson, Gagnon, G., Mer- ritt, Kamerman, jenkins, Greenberg. Taliaferro was elected to be a reporter for one of the four committees. This marked the seventh consecu- tive time that Avon has led the Model United Nations. Avon Old Farms actively participated in the two an- nual S.S.S.I.C. meetings. At the fall conference deal- ing with alternate courses of action, the History Club faithfully supported the United States position of Uni- lateral Action in the Cuban affair. In the Spring Con- ference, Avon Old Farms supported Italyls claims in a Model Common Market Conference. This small, energetic club has fulfilled its goal, and has made its members aware of the importance of ob- jectivity in considering the world situation. Thus does Avon Old Farms contribute to the furthering of world understanding. I 2 L + Left to Right: FIRST ROW: Brainardg Herstoneg Holmes, Walker, R. The Dance Committee contributes greatly towards the social life of Avon, for it organizes and supervises school dances. In order to have successful dances, the Committee must carry out many important prepara- tions. These include the difficult task of inviting blind dates from local schools and arranging for their transporta- tion, signing contracts with bands, decorating the place designated for the dance, and creating interest among the students. The Committee also has the financial responsibility of paying the band and pur- chasing the refreshments and decorations for each dance from the money it collects from the boys who attend them. This year's committee consists of Jack Garrick, Dick Holmes, Alan Jenkins, Terry McLaughlin, Dick Her- stone, and Jim Brainard. The success of this year's dances was due to the hard work and time spent in the preparations by the Committee, and especially by Dick Holmes. The student body appreciates the Com- mitteeis fine job and also wishes to thank the faculty wives and masters for their help in chaperoning the dances.

The club holds contests for its members and takes pictures of various functions for the school newspaper: and the yearbook. The club has guest speakers give lectures on the Hne points of-professional photography, so that the boys will improve their tech- niques, and the quality of their photographs. 3 There is a dark room which provides enlargers and working space for developing pictures the members take. There is also a special discount given to the members of the club on chemicals and film, and also on the paper used. Jack Stokvis and Dick Herstone, President, and Vice- President respectively, manage the club and arrange the talks given to the club. Well supervised and very constructive, the Camera Club is one of the most popular on campus.

The Science Club, under the direction of Mr. Kil- gour, got off to a fairly good start this year. At the second meeting the oflicers were elected, Pope Reed, President, Carl Emmons, Vice-president, Doug Sar- geant, Secretary, and Jon Salony, Treasurer. One of the outstanding events of the year was the changing of the Constitution. Pope Reed carried this out in one short meeting and his intended moves were immediately ratified by the members of the club. The purpose of the Science Club is to allow the in- dividual member to perform experiments in his own particular fields of interest. The Club has accom- plished this feat by setting up specific committees to work on individual projects. The Science Club carries out its intentions and attains its ends through the hard work and motivation of its members. t sf, , .w -f Left to Right: FIRST ROW: Herz, Favorite. SECOND ROW: Lincolng Folcikg Hosfordg Pepperg Bannigang Estabrook, Mr. Durphey, Jones, R. The Sugar Bush Club, under the direction of Mr. Wilbur Durphey, carries on a rather unique operation considering Avon's geographical location. It is not un- common in traveling in a more northern section of the country to see the sap buckets clinging to the sugar maples but such a scene is not commonplace in Connecticut. Awaiting the advent of the warm days needed to make the sap flow, the club chops wood to be used the following year, and readies the equip- ment that will be needed shortly. The sugaring process is not overly complicated but requires vast amounts of physical labor and time. Since the club's evaporator, especially built in Burling- ton, Vermont, is heated by a wood fire, many cords of wood must be cut before operation begin. Holes are then drilled in the trees and spickets hammered into the holes. A bucket is hung from the tap, from one to 95 three buckets depending on the size of the tree. Dur- ing the warm day the sap Hows through the veins of the tree and drips into the buckets. The sap flows drop by drop but the buckets are often filled in a period of twenty-four hours. The sap is collected once a day and stored in a tank beside the sugar house to be then fed into the evaporator. The sap is then boiled into syrup. Since thirty-five gallons of sap are required to make one of syrup, one can easily see that a great deal of boiling is necessary. Mr. Durphey then cans the syrup and prepares it for sale. It is sold to students and friends of the school, and the profits are put into the club treasury. The funds are then used to provide necessary items such as bucket, cans, filter, and a steak dinner for the boys who give their time. NIMROD CLUB Left to Right: FIRST ROW.'

These are members, or potential members of the Nim- rod Club on their way to Sunday morning work crew. The Nimrod Club is, in essence, an outdoor club concerned with the woods and streams of Avon, and this work crew is an important phase of its activi- ties. In the fall months, during work crew, the club generally chops wood for use in the cabin during cold months ahead. In the winter, roads and the club driveway are kept clear from the ever present snow. Extensive work on the interior of the cabin is carried on. When Spring arrives, work crew devotes itself to stocking Avon's waters with trout. The stream is cleaned out and dams are built providing better fish- ing conditions.

Thursday night cabin suppers have always been a suc- cess and probably always will be as long as Sid Riendeau is around to cook them for the club. Each Thursday night after a delicious dinner, the club has its weekly meeting. It is here that the affairs of Avon's woods are brought up and discussed by all the club members. During the winter months excellent Fishing and hunting movies are shown after the meeting. The club officers for the first half year were Rick Duff, President, Rob Jones, Vice-President, John Towers, Secretary, and Dick Bennett, Treasurer. A great deal of thanks is to be given to Mr. Durphey and Sidney Riendeau for their help in making this year a successful one for the Nimrod Club. 8 .

His line leadership and the avid interest of the members have made it into one of the foremost clubs in the school. The club holds its meetings every Wednesday night in the school store where the members battle for top positions on a progressive ladder, it is all very formal, any member who wishes to challenge another must do so on a special form and then after their game scores are recorded. After winning a certain number 99 of games, a contestant is moved on the ladder to a higher position, and thus meets tougher competi- tion, and if lucky goes ahead. This system makes the not only interesting, but there is also a chal- lenge which spurs each member on. g3.I'1'1C This club not only helps the member learn how to play chess, but it gives him a goal to aim for.

In a school where many clubs are starved for mem- bers, the Debating Club has done well by securing twenty boys. Mr. Lapidus, who was its faculty advisor, did much to make the team what it was. Every Friday night the club met for three quarters of an hour 5 every other week there was active debates with teams consisting of three persons each. There were also extemporaneous speeches 3- a member would be given ten minutes to make up a five minute speech on any topic to be given in front of the whole club. Afterwards, there would be suggestions and criticisms for his benefit. The process of debating is as follows: there are two teams of three people each, the affirmative and nega- tive. After the topic of discussion and the differences are stated by two members on each team, there is a rest. Then the negative rebutalist speaks for five minutes. Afterwards, the affirmative rebuttalist de- fends his team for five minutes also. The club received many invitations to debate with schools like Kingswood and Taft. Their most im- portant debate was with Hotchkiss. The team for the affirmative was: Baer, Dale, and Emmons, for the negative: Kamerman, Weinstein, and Shinbach. The topic was - Resolved: The federal government should exercise tighter control over labor unions. The officers are: Skip Kamerman - President, Dick Bennett - Vice-President, Andy Baer -Secre- tary, Rick Valentine f Treasurer, and Larry Brick g Baliff. 100 r STANDING: Stoneg Walkerg Arthurg Rozinskyg Minickg Zinsser.

There are many Community Service organizations at Avon which give each student an opportunity to work for and improve the school in their spare time. One of these organizations is the Owl Club. The fourteen members of this club work each week to provide the students an enjoyable movie on what can otherwise be an eventless Saturday night. Under the direction of Mr. Dochtermann, the faculty advisor, the club carries out its duties of selecting and showing movies in the Forge Theater. The rustic Forge is simple and small but it is capable of seating sixty-five or seventy students. The club is tortunate in having good equipment with which Cinemascope and color movies can be showi and projectionists to efficiently carry out the show- ing of the movies. The student body is indebted to the Owl Club for the work it does to entertain and boost the morale of boys at Avon. 101 1 102 f K f,. s y V wx J . ,,,,, 5 ,, QQJ Ewa' 55 MW ww 'J f , 3 I , ' Ssizzlifvfl' -- R' I 'L if cw 141 - 5 2 4 - .-3 ' - W 1: if-E314 we - i 451'-N w--.fx .- -if-A-:Q 5 EW g pm Wi A 1 1,2 iam gQ,k.w,yi', m,.1,M.f,-nw W N-S A W, was .. 5 ' ,,W,,wL.w,,s,,sQ X EL is flggrgzx ,M A 15,7 '- , ,.

Although the offense was adequate, the defense, led by Rick Duff and jack Calcaterra, bat- tered the opposition into submission. Employing an offense similar to the old reliable single wing, Coach Cochrane used T. D. Adams or Jack Carrick at tailback, Jack Calcaterra at fullback, Jim Brainard at quarterback, and Rick Duff at blocking back. Reviewing the season, Avons first game was a disap- pointment as the American School for the Deaf cap- italized on two breaks and shut out Avon 14 to 0. However, the next game on Parents Week-end, Avon bounced back and defeated Monson 14 to 6. After defeating Milford 20-0, Avon suffered its sec- ond defeat at the hands of an experienced Wil- braham team. Jim Brainard and Jack Calcaterra both scored a touchdown in the 26 to 14 defeat. The Hop- kins Grammar game was played to an 8 to 8 tie in a bitterly contested game played in severe weather conditions. The next week brought Avon the toughest game of the year. Good hard football, a characteristic of Avon's defense, caused a Kingswood fumble deep in their own territory which Rick Estabrook recovered. The Blue team followed the break by scoring a touch- down with Calcaterra going over for the score. Avon's defense dug in and stopped Kingswood's passing completely.

The talent was there but it just didngt have enough time to get together and coordinate as a team. Injuries were responsible for taking away a great deal of the good talent. The definite lack of depth made matters worse. Rick Ward and john Finch were in- jured early in the season. Then our co-captain Bob Leith broke his thumb. Throughout the season there were several more injured. The starting line up varied throughout the season but usually it consisted of these eleven men: Pokey Frazer was our very able goalie. The fullbacks were Lew Favorite and Robin Jones. These two lasted the whole season, both doing an excellent job protecting our goal. Our halfbacks were usually Roland Voor- hees, Dick Herstone and Lee Turner another, co- captain. Richard Ward, Abdul Aziz, Greg Papas- toitses, john Finch, and Timmy Long played Hrst line. The team closed its season with a record of two wins, nine losses, and two ties. Five of these were lost by just one point. Three of these losses were later in the season when we were hampered by in- juries. The teamls most exciting victory was the 3-2 win over Hopkins Grammar. Hopkins was given the op- portunity to tie the game up on a penalty kick with just 30 seconds remaining in the game. Pokey Frazer saved the game with a leaping dive to deflect the ball. This game showed our best winning effort. 110 ' 111 Y 112 Ponifret 7 Marvelwood 1 Trinity Pawling 1 Watkinson 2 Westiiiinster 1 Cranwell 2 Barrington 0 Monson 2 Avon Avon Avan Avon Avon Avon Avon Avon FIRST ROW: Left to right: Hube, Larsen, Beal, Brunner, Blalock, Viti, Nissley, Hewitt. SECOND ROW: Mr. Cascio, Stokvis, J., Lincoln, Bissel, Kamerrnan, Glickstein, Hallam. The Junior Varsity Soccer Team was coached this year by Mr. Cascio. He was a very capable coach and had great experience at Loomis where he was Varsity Soccer Captain. At the start of the season he was faced with many problems. The Varsity promoted many of his best players before his first game, but he called upon the 3rd team for players, and he was thus ready for his first game. Avon was beaten, but now realized that work had to be done to win its next game. Avon was again drained of some of its better players but called up some of the undiscovered talent for the Marvelwood game. Avon brought a smashing defeat down on Marblewood. Parent's weekend the Avon J.V. again crushed their opponents, Williston, amid cheering parents. Against Cheshire the high-spirited Avon team played one of its most spectacular games. The team fought hard and with a tremendous spirit won the game after two overtimes. Spencer Beal and David Hallam scored two goals, but Cheshire came up from behind and tied it 2-2 in the fourth quarter. In over- time Rick Hube received a pass from Spencer Beal and scored the winning goal. The end of the season did not end as well as hoped, but even with a losing season, the team learned many lessons in teamwork and spirit.

In the past years the Junior Varsity Hockey Team has been one of the most spirited clubs in Avon's athletic program. Rare has been the time when team morale was non-existant. The squad has always cheered its way through games, whether winning or losing, and their fine school patriotism was a helping asset to other teams. The Junior Varsity is the team on which all aspirants, with not as much aptitude as their fellows on the Varsity, have a chance to play. Under Coach Saxby, they gain in important practice of the fundamentals of hockey, as well as the art of fair play. The most important skill acquired on the Junior Varsity, how- ever, is of perfecting one's skating ability. The boys are put into a rigorous training program each clay before the actual practice, and they have the opportu- ity to participate in scrimmages. Each boy on the Junior Varsity takes special pride in his sport. A num- ber of small groups of four or five boys make ice for the rink at special interval each night. The quality of the ice depends on the Hood crews. The team is well-equipped with potential skaters and hockey players, the wings being Billings, Glickstein, Eddy, Long, Blakeley, and Brainard while the defense men are Valentine, Saylor, R. Williams, and Parker. Steve Rubicam is the teamis goalie. Left to Right: FIRST ROW: Carr, Spencer, Pepper, Hartley, A., Favorite, Copley, Minnickg Adams, T. D.g Estabrook Salonyg Brunner, Viti. SECOND ROW: MacDonald, Reventi This year Avon enjoyed one of the best swimming teams that it has ever had. The success of the team this year lay more in a strong individual strength than in a strong overall strength. However, the strong events always managed to get the needed points down on the seoresheet under Avon's name. Co-captain Frank Copley, converted from backstroke to the Individual Medley this year, consistently im- proved on his time and ended breaking several rec- ords the end of the year. The co-captain was Jeff Minnick who swam with Jim Carr in the 40-yard Free style. These two, who both swam this event last year, continued to improve on their times of last year. Another source of our power was the long distance events which consisted of the 400-yard, 200-yard, and the 100-yard Freestyle. Two seniors, Lew Favorite and low, Weeks, Meyer, Hersantg MeCague. THIRD ROW: Baer, Mr. Masong Holcombe, Stewart. Rick Estabrook, usually took first honors in these events but the most startling improvement came in Chris Meyers who improved from meet to meet. The most pleasing new addition to the team was in the form of Dick Spencer, who 'did both the Backstroke and the Butterfly and usually won both these events with George Brunner right behind him in the Butter- fly and Jon Salony not far from him in the Back- stroke. The other great addition to our team was in the form of two Breaststrokers, Dave Hersant and Alf Hartley. These two boys always managed to end up in a tie whenever they raced. This year we had a very strong team and Mr. Mason, swimming coach, is in the process of building a strong foundation, not just for this yearis team but for years ahead. 129 Q. 5 X Q M X S.

The ski team got off to a good start and was unde- feated before midyear. Right from the start, a very fast pace was set by Jeff Decker, who consistently led the team and almost invariably took first place in the meets. Tom Adams, second man on the team and only returning starter from last year, kept up with the pace very well. Five of the starting seven were graduated last year and therefore the team is very young. However there is a lot of potential which has to be developed. The first meet was with Marvelwood. First and sec- ond places were taken by Decker and Adams respec- tively, but Walter Ryan, Packy Lawrence, Rick Hube and Laird Holby followed very closely behind and did much better than had been expected. This boosted the hopes of the team greatly and apparently their enthusiasm was warranted. The next meets backed up their hopes and the ski team had a very fine sea- son. Individual members Decker and Adams entered a few United States Eastern Amateur Ski Association meets and did very well. It is hoped that future skiers will follow this up with team efforts in U.S.E.A.S.A. com- petition. Decker and Holby are the only graduating seniors, therefore the team looks forward to a good future with great anticipation. Five starters are left, Adams, Ryan, Lawrence, Hube, and Rasmussen, with Palmer, Merritt and Cuzzecreo coming up on the team. Mr. Cascio is the ski team coach.

The 1962 Baseball Team seemed to be all set for a perfect season. However, due to leg and ankle injuries, and lack of depth, the team could only win seven out of thirteen games. Karl Aschenbach, captain, instilled the necessary spirit to give the players the desire to win and keep fighting even when losing. The line-up fluctuated in the beginning of the year, but remained consistent towards the end of the sea- son. Alan Ruez, lead off man, played shortstop all year and obtained a 263 batting average. Playing second base and batting second was Bill Warner, who ended the year with a 361 batting average. The power part of the order was made up of Dick Hers- tone, Karl Aschenbach, and Art Rovetti. Playing left field, center and catching, they batted 325, 500, and 314 respectively. Batting sixth, and playing first base, was Charlie Kohn. He batted 264 for the sea- son. Speedy Jack Garrick played third base for the team. What he lacked in batting, he made up for in the field. Nevertheless, he batted 257 and stayed seventh in the order for most of the year. Eight and ninth in the order were taken by Dick Prezzano and Lou Usich. Alternating at pitching and right field they went along with the saying that pitchers aren't hitters, both batting only 159. With only three returning lettermen next year, Hers- tone, Ruez, and Garrick, the team might lack depth. It is hoped the J.V.'s will fill the necessary gaps in the team. If the gaps are filled, Coach Cochrane, with the help of Dick Herstone, captain-elect, will be able to lead to another winning season. 142 Avon Avon Avon Avon Avon Avon Avon Avon Avon Avon Avon Avon Avon 15 5 2 2 0 10 19 4 6 4 3 19 9 Windsor Mt. 0 Monson 3 Cheshire 7 Watkinson 4- Lenox 7 Marianapolis 6 Cranwell 9 Williston 7 Barrington 4 Hopkins 6 Sufield 1 Brunswick 3 Kingswood 16 Left to Right : Tongue. The Tennis team, in 1962, lost only one match in its attempt for an undefeated season. The team with a record of twelve wins and one loss, consisted of Larry Chapin, who was this year's captain, Pokey Frazer, Rick -Hynson, Hal Jones, Hank Gardner, and Turner Davis. Reasons behind the successful season were the general improvement in all the players, especially Rick Hynson, who added greatly to the team. and the fine coaching and hard work of Mr. Hynson: Barrett: Frazer, P.g Chapin: Gardner, Jones, H., Robinson, Mr. Tongue. It was a wholehearted team effort that pro- duced the highly successful season, and this team is to be congratulated for their spirit and determina- tion. Hopefully next year's team will be instilled with the same spirit, and thus another successful season should take place. Barton Barrett, a freshman, should be commended for his efforts as he alternated be- tween the Varsity and the Junior Varsity and led the Junior Varsity on its successful season. 144 Mr. Spicer, Hube, Beal, Arthur, Barrett, Horner, Robinson, Rose, P., Mr. Ramsey. The 1962 Junior Varsity Tennis Team proved to be one of Avonis most successful teams. Under Coaches Spicer and Ramsey, Barton Barrett, Jerry Robinson, George Arthur, Peter Rose, Rick Hube, John Horner, and Spencer Beal compiled an impressive record of nine wins and three losses. The team won their first match at Williston 8-1 and proceeded in their next outing under the line play of Robinson to soundly defeat Loomis 9-0. Led in their third match by Barrett, who won both his games, the team beat Monson to run their record to three wins. straight. Williston handed us our first defeat, 6-3, in a re- match that was marred by rain. y On to Kingswood and the team defeated our arch- rivals easily 8-1. Consecutive losses in rematches with Loomis and Kingswood proved to be the last defeats of the sea- son as the team Went on to take Hopkins Grammar and Forman. The season ended with their ninth victory in an easy match with Marionapolis. 145 FIRST ROW: Beckg Bowman, Alicandrig Hoytg Jones, L.g Slaymakerg Berry, McQuade.

Last year's track team was undoubtedly the best at Avon. The team did not qualify for the New Eng- land Championships as in 1951, nor did they set any outstanding records but this was not as important as spirit We all will remember each man's desire to put forth his best. Running the mile was Sam Slaymaker and Michael McNamara, two of our most frequent scorers. These boys as well as our other five runners participated in winter track events so as to remain in top running shape for the spring track season. Skip Ansart, in the half mile, proved consistently to be our top performer. The quarter-mile race, possibly the most difficult running event in the track season was run by Rick Duff. Our sprinters, Roland Voorhees and Jeff Min- nick are two contenders who returned this year to try and break the schoolis 100 yard record of 10.2 seconds. The field events improved considerably from last sea- son. Chris Meyer and Jeff Minnick, being our most valuable javeline throwers, came within a few feet of the school record. The shot-put, as well as the discus, became a huge attraction last year. Although many threw the eleven and fifteen shot this year. Eric Hartley performed the best. Throwing the col- lege and high school sized discus were Garvin Brown, John Salony, and Terry McLaughlin. The high jump and pole vault events were largely supported by Eric Hartley and Eaton Brooks. With the effort and sincerity each man demonstrated last year and with our returning lettermen, this yearls track season should be even better. 5 x K F I 1 K N I Wm 147 Name Adams Ansart Aziz Bennett Bilotta Blalock Brunner Calcaterra Coffey Curtis Davis Decker Duff, R.
