1 I 5 dgerkdlzire rai! I9 PUBLISHED BY THE SENIOR CLASS BERKSHIRE SCHOOL SHEFFIELD, MASS. MR. FREDERIC S. DEAN DEDIC TIO The Class of 1953 gratefully dedicates its yearbook to MR. FREDERIC S. DEAN ' whose career has been the growth and success of Berkshire School. ' To the lass of 1953: i As each of you leaves Berkshire to pursue a different course of higher studies, I think it proper to remind you that, although you have come to the end of your secondary school training, you have reached this point with varying degrees of skill and knowledge, of balance and maturity. The step on which you pause momentarily is wide enough to include boys with great potential abilities and those with lessg boys with high purpose and the will to achieve, and those content to remain on this step. Your future individual achievements will range from that of successful pro- fessional people, executives, and scientists down to that of ordinary wage earners in routine jobs that merely provide a living. Your final total contribution to your family, your community, and .yourself will be the product of your abilities, your energies, and your will to contribute. You have in the evidence of your preparatory school years a kind of general pattern or measure by which this future contribution might be roughly approximated. If you have put your best abilities and energies into these last few years, you have a model and a standard on which to build and to pattern your career, if you have made mistakes they are yours to examine and yours is the obligation to learn from these mistakes. The faculty joins me in wishing you every success that you will earn. We shall watch your progress with interest and with pride. John F. Godman J , gacuffg MR. FREDERIC S.

Others included Pete 'tthe peopleis choice Whitridge who brandished a hockey stick, 'iDangerous Dave Francis, who brandished a Latin book, and Scudder uhooksn Smith who brandished c'Daugerous Davef, In the back of the line was an unmentionable who didn't make it up the hill. These four proved to be the foundation of the class whose experience this book commemorates. In the following year 'gSpide,'l and Al, and his brother Toby, Grumbling Greg Hartswick, and Ken the photog, also joined the mob in their plots to burn the school and drive Dudley dizzy. Slowly the years passed by and others joined the group. Each year the class took a more im- portant part in the life of the school. By the third SS HI TORY year some varsity players were among their ranks, and last year the leaders prepared to take over the leadership of the school as well. As they matured the class became one that Berkshire could well be proud of. Led by its president, Tom Storrs, they did much to uphold the traditions of the school, and their members began to excel in athletics, studies, and extra- curricular activities. The top scholars, Dave Francis, Ralph Kaplan, Dave Gillis, and others, have compiled records which would be appreciated by any college in the nation, and more members of the class will attend Harvard in the fall than any other class has sent to that august institution. '53 produced such outstanding athletes as Charlie Berry, captain and guiding light of the football team, Tom Storrs and Peter Whitridge, both out- standing in three sports, and Scudder Smith, who was captain of two major sports, soccer and track.

V. Football IVQ Football Vg J. V. Hockey IV, V. A lover of the indoors and a superb sleeper, who misses breakfast at least once a week, Abe has been a prime moti- vator of the Berkshire Sunday Game of Chance, Inc., and in his quiet way he has led one and all to believe that the most beautiful girls all come from Long Island. ANTHONY AUSTIN - 'Tonya :'Hum.phrey,' Soccer Ill, IV, Vg Trail Squad IIIQ I. V. Hockey IVQ I. V. Basketball IVg Track IV, Vg Dome IV, V. Our grinning friend from the Far East earns his pocket money posing for physical culture magazines. Never neglecting his mind, Tony delights in provolking arguments so he can back his opponent into a corner. Whatever Humphrey does in later life, he will do it in a big way. ANTHONY BARTON Windbrcakcr Football IV, Vg .l. V. Basketball IV, Vg J. V. Track IV, Vg Glee Club Vg Dramatic Club IV. Tony's ability to charm the girls has set an unprecedented letter received record here. A 4-B girl man, he has kept his friends well up on the activities of his Sues, Anns, and loans. Wherever Bart goes in life he is sure to find a girl by his side or at least on his mind. CHARLES ROBERT BERRY Yogi Football IV, V lcapt.Jg Hockey IV, Vg Skiing Vg J. V.

The captain of the football team, he had an unfortunate ankle injury, but let nothing stand in the way of his fighting spirit which bolstered the team through many a tough battle. 1 E141 JOHN RUSSELL BUCKINGHAM Buck J.

John has had a whirling social life at Berkshire this year. As Prince Consort of the House Party Queen he has been the envy of all the bourgeoisie. We hope the success wonit go to his head. He has been a stalwart corridor counsellor this year, and has been largely responsible for the good order on Memorial. A JOHN GIRVIN CLUETT, JR. Clan Soccer III, IV, Vg Skiing Ill, IV, Vg J. V.

' Johnny is an avid ski fiend who will do anything for the sake of the sport. It seems to be paying off, for he is our high scoring skier at the moment and has been for several years. Glee Club and Track also beneht greatly from his assistance, and he did a good job in his first thespian effort this winter. 4 l'.lCl.ANlJ IVI. COl.lff Im , I. V. Football lllg Football III.

YVhere he finds the time we donit know. but we think perseverence has something to do with it. WALTER PRESTON COOPER l Coop', Il C. J. V. Football IVg Trail Squad IIIg Skiing Ill, IV. V lCapt.lg J. V. Baseball III. IV, V. When Coop isn't busy skiing, he is usually having a friendly argument with his roommate, Mike Hanafee, about the comparative assets of certain members of the opposite sex. Being a Pittsfield boy, P. C. spends his remaining time trying to wangle permission to go home. Right now he is all mixed up in textiles. We hope to see him corner the market soon. 15 l16l l JAMES RAYMOND DRISCOLL A Tank Football Vg Track Vg Student Council Vg Most Valuable Player in Football V. I im has only been with us a year, but he has made himself an important leader in the class. His ready wit and good nature are combined with a spirit in athletics that made him the mainstay of the Berkshire line this fall. In Spurr House he is always on the spot to end a riot and still manages to keep popular with his corridor mates. We wish we had known him longer. ROBIN EDWARD GERRIT ESCHAUZIER Groggins Glee Club Vg Green and Gray Vg Dramatic Club IV, Vg Dome Vg Gun Club IV, Vg Camera Club IV, V. There are some people who feel that Robin, a home- grown recording artist, may some day take over Mr. Beattie's organ recitals in chapel. Between supplying pen names for the Dome, and playing the part of a lovely ingenue in the houseparty play, Robin has led a busy life at Berkshire. ' EDGAR C. FLETCHER Ted Football IV, V3 I. V.

Baseball IV, Tennis Vg Green and Gray IV, V fSports Editorjg Gun Club IV, Camera Club IV, V QSec.-Treas.l Ted has been busy this year running the sports depart- ment of the Green and Gray, and has furnished it with a number of photographs as well. He has had plenty of time for this, as he is the iirst senior to be accepted for college and hasn't had to worry about the Boards. We hope V.M.I. doesn't change its mind. DAVID WILLIAM FRANCIS Dave Green and Gray II, III, IV fMan. Ed.J, V fAssoc. Ed.jg Form Leader I, II, IIIg Ist Scholar I, Ilg Latin Prize III, IV. No matter where David is, or how much work he has to do, he always has plenty of time to help out 'his less fortunate classmates 'who just ca.n't seem to do their Latin or Mathe- matics right. He will probably be just as far ahead of his classmates at Harvard.

When new and better radios are made, Doug will make them. Although station WBBS lThe Berkshire Broadcasting Systeml is prominent over half the dial range, and ,lane Froman makes her debut seven times a week, Doug has really worked out a project for himself. We hope it doesn't interfere with his tennis lessons, or with his homework. OLIVER JOHN GEIGER Midget Football Ilg J. V. Football IVg Football Vg Trail Squad Illg Hockey IVQ J. V. Track Vg I. V. Baseball II, III, IVQ Green and Gray III, IV fManaging Editorj, V CAssociate Editorl g Gun Club II, III. Ollie, who has at one time or another belonged to practically all the school's clubs and teams during the past four years, has brightened many an otherwise drab day. Even though he is an occasional Associate Editor of the Green and Gray and struggles hard with Ad-math, Ollie manages to get in on his share of tricks and troubles. a DAVID CARTER GILLIS Soccer IV, Vg Tennis IV, Vg Dramatic Club IV, Vg Trail Vg Dome IV, V. If you want to anger David, just tell him the value of Greek literature is null. But be prepared for a long multi- language retort. Besides delving into the hidden secrets of hieroglyphics, Dave is no mean actor, or soccer player either. JOHN MICHAEL PATRICK HANAFEE D Mike Pasta Football IV, Vg Basketball IV, Vg Baseball IV, V. For two years Mike has flashed about the Berkshire campus a smile that has refiected his optimism and gladdened the hearts of his classmates. This Riverside lad is always in a gay mood both inside and out of the classroom. Posta has always shown his willingness to achieve the best in whatever he partakes. E191 JAMES ALLEN HARMON Harm-Harmu Football Vg Basketball Vg Track Vg Green and Gray Vg Gun Club V. Jim has distinguished himself this year with his high bouncing walk and his long talks concerning his friends in Lakeville. He has been an asset to all the different teamsg his .set shot was a great help to the basketball team, and his speedy sprints often gained a few needed yards. In the spring .lim is a fast man on the cinders. ,' Q F. GREGORY HARTSWICK, JR. Greg Midget Football Ig J. V. Football Ilg Football III, IVg J. V. Hockey Hg Skiing Ig J. V. Track Ilg Track III. When Greg isn't giving a sneak preview of the latest Glee Club hit, he is usually busy organizing. The success of Berk- shire's cheering and its houseparty would not have been possible without Gregis daily meetings. If you want to see him during a vacation, just go to the Biltmore. XX. S!

Ralph entered Berkshire as a young sophomore and liked il so well that he decided to spend the major part of his youth here. He is gifted with thc rare quality of being able to get a laugh at any time, even during a period of crisis. Even though his scholastic record doesn't show above, Ralph is easily one of the very top scholars of the class. ROBERT ERNIIST VINSON KELLEY ' Bruno Bugs g J. V. Football Ilg Football III, IV, Vg J.

Since his arrival here Bruno has kept half the school supplied with laughs, although he seldom realized it.. His timely remarks have given him a reputation for being a very sincere character. Through Bruno's untiring efforts the House Party this year was furnished with the best decorations the school has seen in many years. is SSX-i 2-455 ff W cX5gssggs,l.,5s..g X sXs...sXs.Xs X X X X ., N . i.s-Lisisiiiisiif. .5 P I . .. 3 as s. isx.NNs..2Xs - . ..

It has been largely through ,lim's efforts that the Green and Gray has enjoyed a successful year, and we are all thank- ful to Jim for the many. late nights he has worked to make tl1e paper a good one. ,lim has also devoted many of his spare hours to the Dramatic Club and has been one of its outstanding actors. He has also found time to work hard for good grades and to be the epitome of preppiness. BRUCE MCQUATTERS Football Vg Skiing Vg Baseball V. McQuatters is noted for his interesting interpretations of various well-known Sioux war cries. Coming from Arizona, a place just oozing with Sioux, he has learned a great many of the tribal customs which seem a bit quaint to us here at Berkshire. He is a great football player though, and we wish him all the luck in the world in the years to come. XXgfg:2.-:::f::XsXsXXf we V X X x X XX -: as sbs as 'sex X .

Nirey has dominated the fine arts at Berkshire for four years. No one can deny abilities as a photographer, and those of us who saw his House Party mural wonder why he hasn't had his own New York Salon yet. As if he didn't have enough to do. he is cornering the recorded opera market. Nirey will probably be one of those men who have everything on their minds but success.

Like all eminent novelists Bob has decided to start young and write an autobiography. By the time he is twenty, he should have it nearly completed.

He has been a founder and mainstay of the revived Dome, and is a good man with a tape recorder, X, l ANTHONY DOUGLAS ROBERTS uT0lLy,' Soccer Vg Hockey IV, Vg Tennis IV, V. Tony has tried just about everything during his short stay at Berkshire, and ninety per-cent of his enterprises have been a success. If ever there creeps a tense moment into the Spurr House routine, or on train rides back to school, Tony is always ready with a few well chosen laughs to sooth the jangled nerves. HERBERT G.

Berkshire's sole representative from the deep South, suh, has proven invaluable to the Green and Gray for his ability to accurately record world events, and as the creator of an unforgettable character in his column. His spirited portrayal of Commander Letticoe has also brought him fame. Heb is a hard man to hold clown when the Georgia Tech football season comes around every 52 weeks. l tm 261 CLINT D. SADLER Soccer Vg Basketball V. - A newcomer this year, Clint is living proof of the superi- ority of Maine basketball. In his off moments he tells, in his Maine twang, about Jasper and the Maineities. If you sneak up on him in his room, you will see him feinting to the right in charging in for a left-handed lay-up. LEWIS SCHAINUCK Lightfoot Soccer Vg Skiing Vg Glee Club Vg Green and Gray Vg Dramatic Club Vg Dome V. Lew has only been at Berkshire one year but he has taken an active part in many extra-curricular activities and earned high grades at the same time. He will probably major in government or economics at Cornell, but whatever he does, if his Berkshire record is any indicator, he will do it well. ROBERT THOMAS SHAW Bob Admiral Football Vg Basketball V3 Baseball V. Bob has never been at a loss for words since the day he entered Berkshire. His shrill voice will always be remembered coming forth from the shower room. Because of his previous experience in schools Bob was quite able to take care of him- self here at Berkshire, since his prep school work has merely been a review of his college years.

He has been a great help in the administration of Spurr House, and many are the wayward seniors he has put to bed at eleven-five.

One of the most enterprising men in school, Toby is cutting various careers out for himself.

His sets for three plays were truly works of art to behold. ROBERT SCUDDER SMITH Scarf: Midget Football II, Soccer II, IV tCo-Captj, V QCapt.Jg Basketball I, II, III, IV, Vg J. V.

' Ever since his entry into Berkshire five years ago, Scudder has managed to make himself prominent in every field. He did not stop at sports, but has gained a high position in the student government and extra-curricular activities. His quiet humor and earnest nature will surely' brighten Amherst as it has Berkshire. 281 JOEL ALLYN SPIVAK Clspivv J. V. Football III, Soccer IV, Vg Tennis Vg J. V. Basketball III, IV, J. V.

What he has done to make Berkshire clothes conscious should get him a job with Rogers Peet. Besides his theatrical duties Spiv has taken it upon himself to keep upthe morale of his class with his eiidless stream of witticisms. THOMAS AUSTIN STORRS Indian, 'Tamachenisi' Midget Football Ig J.

A boy like Tom is hard to pin down on paper. President of the School, he has made himself an outstanding figure in every phase of its life. As an all-around athlete he has made himself second to none. As a friend and classmate, no one is worthier or more respected.

Under the inspired leader- ship of the syndicate, as a unit, the class has shown a decided impulse to go places . . . namely, home. There are many minor groups in the class. Some, Clarke Field, Ted Klinck, Bruce Francis, and Davis Sauer, have shown powers of governing, and have served on the Student Council. Others have a stronger dramatic bent, Dave Crabbe, Bob Dentan, Reed Laughlin, for example, have all appeared in more than one production this year. The intellectuals have put out the publications, three of them managing editors of the Green and Gray, Dentan, Sauer, and Dick Davis, and others contributing to the Dome. The athletes cannot be forgotten. Rawleigh Clark, despite his diminuitive size, was a basketball regular, as was Bruce Francis, and Roger Goodman received the most valuable player award. T. Klinck was chosen hockey captain for next year. John Henderson was outstanding on the football field, and will be a track star without doubt, and Dave Sauer was also an excellent football player. Other activities are also important. The Kool Kats have made Allen House resound to the strains of Gene Krupa and the stomping of childish feet. Serious and whole-hearted participation was also given to the Berkshire Dramatic Art Association and other societies. This class has everything!

Berkshire's own '5Young hoods, the third form, may have names, but they are known among themselves as the Fish, Beak, Sabu, Hose, Egbert, Frenchman, Dimmy, and Ribbless. However the rest of the school knows that they are loaded . . . with athletes and scholars. Athletically, Dave Bassett, T. Hutchinson, and Roddy Smith are varsity football lettermen, and in soccer Charley Chaffee, Mike Berman, Agar, and Steve Smith made the team. 'cWilbur Thorpe is an outstanding woodchopper. The 4'Virile outdoor winter sports are dominated by the Hoods All but two of the varsity ski teamvare sophomores, Larry Turnure, Tom Hutchinson, Josh Edgerly, Dan Webster, and Steve Hall. Turnure and Edgerly are the co-captains for next year, and between them made a famous acceptance speech at the winter sports banquet. Charley Chaffee won the award for the least time spent in the hockey team penalty box, and other varsity prospects for that team are Dave Bassett, Steve Smith, and Fritz Ancona. In the indoor sports Borkowski, Berman, and Ted Smith played good basketball. In the spring Steve Smith seems assured of a place on the varsity tennis team, and others may get their letters. p Equally important in the class are the fine scholars, Bob Brown, Dave Bassett, Rodney Agar, and Ted Smith, who, have done consistently good work. Many others have been on extra-curricular activities, and the majority of the class have beenon A group at one time or another. 31111 i.,.,li,,,lliI..,..hliIu,Y YJGU! , A gas 361 2nd FOR The second form received many additions this year to the three boys who returned from their first form year. Kevin Downey had had experience as athlete, actor, and hamster breeder last yearg Joe Geiger was a prominent trail squader and skiier, and Hawley Rogers had been captain of the midget football team, a regular member of the honor role, and a star of the play. All of the old timers maintained their positions this year, although Joe Geiger broke his leg badly on the ski slope, and they were joined by many other well known characters. Mike Aron returned to the second form again, and twelve newcomers swelled the ranks. Toby Janawitz proved to be a varsity hockey goalie, a rare honor, and Cummings, Hoggson, and Romer, to mention only a few, seem also to be promising athletes. On the corridor Luria and McNulty have provided plenty of activity, and many are the jam and other sessions that have rocked Memorial III this year.

One unusual feature of the form is that 4096 of it, or two, is composed of day boys, both of them good students who have often made the honor role. Skip Wood enjoys the honor of being the youngest contributor to the Dome, and Botthof's early arrivals in the school building qualify him as the eagerest student of them all, with the possible exception of Dentau. The boarders, denizens of Memorial III, have proved good mixers, and are dear to Mr. Ditmar's heart. Fatum, Johnston, and Stoll, a little young yet to make their mark on the school, are studying hard under Mr. Skinner's watchful eye, and are all looking forward to taking Latin next year.

The officers of the senior class are. also the ollices of the Council, and this year Tom Storrs, Allan Simpson, and Scudder Smith served ably as President, Vice- President, and Secretary-Treasurer respectively. Other seniors who served were Peter Whitridge, Douglass Gardner, John Buckingham, Charles Berry, Lee Cole, and James Driscoll, who was ex- ceptionally honored because he was in his first year at Berkshire. Junior class President Clarke Field served throughout the year, as his ofiice demands, and Bruce Francis, Edwin Klinck, and David Sauer were also members. At mid-year one Junior mem- ber was added to give the future senior class more experience in running the school. lee Club First Row, left to right: Cooper, Spivak, Whitridge, Kelley, Cluett, Hartswick, Mr. Beattie, Smith, Scudder, Storrs, Nirenberg, Barton, McCurrach, Berry.

The popular organization has had a membership of fifty singers, chosen from many more applicants, and has sung a wide variety of songs, classical, popular, and humerous. The Club oifered choice selections on many school occasions, at dances as usual, and also went on several trips to Miss Halls, Emma Willard, and Kent, to give joint concerts and participate in in- formal dances afterwards. Mr. Beattie selected a few of the better singers as members of a special group which presented highly amusing versions of several songs during the regular Glee Club concerts. In addition the special group offered a program as part of the Dramatic Club's evening of one-act plays in Decem- ber, and brought down the house with The Animal Fairi' and a series of songs reminiscent of the gay nineties. Although less publicised, the work of the Glee Club in providing anthems and hymns for the regular chapel services should not be minimised. Their polished offerings have earned Berkshire the reputation of being a singing school, a reputation which it well deserves. f41 421 Trail First Roux left to right: Gillis, Nirenberg, Kaplan.

Abruptly and arbitrarily selected by the faculty adviser. the Trail staff has been aided by the work of a few volunteers in its effort to turn out Berk- shires most enduring publication. A staff of seniors naturally works on the year- book which will be their memento of the senior year. and six of the class of 1953 were in charge of the publication. David Gillis and Ralph Kaplan were in general charge of the editorial work, and Kenneth Nirenberg was photographic editor. Joel Spivak took over the business managership, and class president Tom Storrs and Peter Whitridge were invaluable as advisers and editorial aides. Credit should also be given to Herbert Roskind who helped greatlywvith the writing, and Green and Gray photo editor Toby Simpson who helped the harried staff without thought of reward. An effort has been made this year to provide wider coverage of school activities and more photo- graphs than the Trail has usually had, and the late publication date will allow coverage of spring sports and commencement, something which has never before been possible.

Green and Cra The Green and Gray, Berkshire's school news- paper, climaxed a successful year by winning a first place award in the Columbia Scholastic Press Competition for the fifth consecutive year. Led by Editor-in-Chief James C. McCurrach, Associate Editor David Francis, and a triumvirate of able junior Managing Editors, Dentan, Sauer, and Davis, the paper improved its makeup and its writing greatly. The Sports Department was headed by Ted Fletcher, assisted by Charles Berry, and it pro- vided excellent feature articles about the teams as well as straight coverage of the games. Hank Cohen and Bruce Francis, a pair of able juniors, were excellent aides and will run the department next year. Toby Simpson provided most of the 'excellent photographs for the paper, and was helped by Ken Nirenberg, Bill Rich, and Toby Janawitz. Bill Marcy was head of the business department. and gradually will assume all of the responsibility of that important phase of the paper's activities. The staff nearly doubled during the year, and many writers contributed greatly to the quality and newsworthiness of the G S C. A special house-part parody edition, the Breeders Digest, was distributed in February. Mr. Clark and Mr. Fyfe were the faculty advisers. 543 441 First Row. left to right: Law, Roskind, Smith, Steven, Downey, Gillis, Simpson, H., Rogers, Dentan, Marcy.

For the first time since World War ll a fall production was offered, a bill of two one act plays. 'tCurse You, Jack Daltonf an old fashioned melodrama. and 'tWhere the Cross is Madefl a powerful sea play by Eugene O'Neill. Six weeks later the traditional house party play was oiiered in the theater. 'Two Blind Mice was a three act comedy which had been presented on Broadway in 1949 starring Melvyn Douglas as a newsman who found a government ofiice which had been ofhcially disbanded but then forgotten, and which was still being operated by two loyal, if scatterbrained public servants. David Gillis, Joel Spivak, and Robert Dentan played the major parts, and were ably supported by James McCurrach, Hawley Rogers, Herbert Roskind, Lew Schainuck, Bill Marcy, and a host of others. Toby Simpson was in charge of all the stage crew work, and turned out excellent and imaginitive sets and props. t First Row, left to right: Hoggson, Raymond, Schaddelee, Laing, Johnson, Botthof.

Fishing Club The Fishing Club was organized in February to stock the school stream with trout and thus pro- vide local fishing for local Isaac Waltons who other- wise would have to travel four miles to fish legally. At the first meeting twenty-five boys became charter members and elected Dave Laing, Dick Schaddelee, and Roger Raymond as their officers. The club plans to stock the stream with trout ranging in length from seven inches to a foot every spring, and then spend the rest of the school year fishing them out againj Eventually they hope to use the swimming pool up the mountain as a hatchery, and hope that neither the people using the pool nor the fish will be greatly bothered by the arrangement. A constitution has been drawn up, and a stream committee will enforce it. As the stream dries up every summer it will be necessary to restock it every year, and the aim will be to catch all the fish be- fore June, but not too long before, so that the members can enjoy the sport as long as possible. 545 461 First Row, left to right: Wood, W., Aron, Cousland, Clark, Roskind, Eschauzier, Scott.

Michael Aron was honored with the Rifleman Trophy forthe greatest interest in rifle work and the greatest proficiency in marksmanship. About thirty-five boys worked on the range during the Sunday afternoon sessions presided over by the faculty adviser, Mr. W. Chattin Wetherill. All shooting is done with .22 rifles, some of which are owned by the school, and others which are brought by the boys themselves. Ammunition is supplied by the army in accordance with its policy of encouraging target shooting. The members follow the regular National Rifle Association shooting program, and fire for record in the prone, kneeling, and standing positions. Awards of marksman and sharpshooter are given to the members who pass the requirements. Several mem- bers were recipients of the sharpshooter medals this year, and a few tried for the expert award, the highest the NRA offers. . t Dome The Dome was revived last year as the literary supplement of the Green and Gray and has pub- lished a number of issues this year under the general guidance of Robert Dentan and David Gillis. A highly decentralised publication, there is little editing of the material which goes into The Dome, but the quality has been high and the num- ber of volunteered contributions has always ex- ceeded the space available. Articles and criticism, as well as fiction and poetry, are included in The Dome, and the variety of subject matter has been .one of the greatest attractions of its issues. Many boys have been represented, from the first form fSkip Woodj to the fifth. Among the most regular contributors have been Bob Pischel, Bob Dentan, David Gillis, Lewis Schainuck, Herbert Roskind, Hawley Rogers, and David Sauer, although many more have had one or more articles printed. Although The Dome is still not a completely independent publication, for it is printed under the aegis of the Green and Gray, its editors and faculty adviser, Frederick F. Clark, hope that it will come to be one of the outstanding activities at Berkshire. First Row, left to right: Marcy, Austin, A., Dentan, Sauer.

Fflgfll'-BELL 1952 It is easy to be an enthusiastic member of a win- ning team, but it is another thing altogether to have to face a losing season when you don't even get the breaks. Berkshire didnlt get the breaks this year. If the Green and Gray did not have a win- ning team,iit can boast of a hard-fighting one which played its best, game after game, even though afflicted with injuries and a lack of depth. Captain Charley Berry suffered a broken toe in pre-season scrimmage and was unable to play for most of the season, and the team was under full strength before it began. Practices continued under the eyes of coaches Godman, Menard, Beattie, and Ryerson, and the team took the field for the first time against Kent. Kent scored twice in the first period, and although the Green came to life in the second half they were stopped twice on Kent's ten yard line and were unable to score. The following week a highly rated Gunnery team was the opposition, and again Berkshire was unable to score. A much more determined group faced Canter- bury on Bourne Field and gave the impression of being a stronger and more spirited team. Although Canterbury was unable to score on the ground, two long desperation passes made the difference, and won them a victory. Berkshire scored for the first time -during the season in a game with Westminster the following Saturday, when, in the second half, an inspired and hard charging team scored twice, although West- minster already had a commanding lead. Although both of the last two games, against Trinity-Pawling and Salisbury were losses, the team played better than it had in the earlier part of the season, and it managed to score twice against Salisbury and once against a very powerful Pawling aggregation. The line, led by Jim Driscoll, who was voted most valuable player, was the strongest part of the team this year. Lee Cole, an end and star- pass catcher, starred on the offensive, and Driscoll, who played almost every minute all season. held the !'f , 5, 3 , XV A center of the line as a guard on the defensive, and opened many holes for line plunges on the offensive. The backfield was light and inexperienced, but John Henderson got away for several good runs during the games and David Sauer showed great promise as a defensive halfback. Most of the back- field will return next year and their experience and practice in team work will stand them in good stead then. The scores for the season were: Berkshire 0 Kent 26 Berkshire. 0 Gunnery 25 Berkshire 0 Canterbury 12 Berkshire 12 Westminster 34 Berkshire 7 Trinity-Pawling 25 Berkshire 13 Salisbury 27 551 521 .li Front Row, left to right: J.

The turnout of about twenty-five boys was slightly less than last year's, but it included a nucleus of eight lettermen about which the team could be built. The success of the team is attributable directly to the enthusiasm and effort of every member of the squad, although the way was made easier by the experience of these veterans of last year's team. The season started auspiciously with a 6-0 win over Forman, by whom we were defeated last year, and continued with wins over Searles High School, Lenox ftwicej, Gunnery, and Kent, until the record showed six consecutive wins. It should be pointed out that the very hard-fought game with Kent was the first victory ever registered by Berkshire over them in soccer. Then, in a very exciting game, one which every- one had known in advance would be the hardest of the season, our hooters were edged out by a skillful Hotchkiss team that scored twice early and then fought hard to hold a determined Berkshire comeback to only one goal and a couple of near misses. Far from discouraged, the team hnished up the year with consecutiveshutout victories over Canterbury and Trinity-Pawling. Scoring a record 32 goals was due in large part to the effectiveness of center-forward Wood and left-inside Agar, who scored 17 and 7 goals re- spectively. Their scoring thrusts, of course, had to be set up and wings Cluett, Kaplan, and Chaffee, as well as all the half-backs were responsible for this. Defensively, full-backs Storrs and captain- elect Roberts teamed with goalies Spivak and Ber- man to allow the opposition only 10 goals. y Special acknowledgement should be made to Ken Nirenberg for his consistently outstanding spirit and accomplishment at left-half, and to the team captain, Scudder Smith, always right in the middle of things at center-half,-an outstanding performer all year long, both as a player and- as a leader. Widi nine of this year's lettermen returning next year it can be hoped that the winning habit will be continued in the future.

HOCKEY 1952 -19 3 The Berkshire Hockey team had a fair season this year winning six games, losing four, and tying one. Under the leadership of Captain Peter Whit- ridge and Coaches Menard and Ryerson the young team, which had only two seniors in the starting lineup, won two, lost three, and tied one in league competition. The season started with a bang when, in a game on Fawn Lake, the Green defeated a strong Hotchkiss six, three to two. Then, in quick succes- sion came a 6-0 win over Lenox, a tie with West- minster, and another win over Gunnery. The first loss of the season was in an away game with Taft when they were outpointed 4-0, and this was fol- lowed by a loss to South Kent, 3-2, the Hrst on home ice. The had luck continued at an away game with Kent which was lost 4-0, but the team then regained its power and won its next three games over Cran- well, 7-0, for the year's highest score, Salisbury 4-0, and Trinity-Pawling 6-5. The last game of the season, a second game with Kent which had pre- viously been postponed, was lost 2-1, but by a much closer score than the first game against that strong team. Despite the mid-season slump, morale on the team was high all the time, thanks largely to the effective leadership of Captain Whitridge, who was called by the coach one of Berkshire's all-time great hockey players. Whitridge was high scorer of the team with 13 goals and 7 assists, although he was hurt and out of play for two games. Charley Chaffee, an underformer, was second high scorer. Toby Janavitz, although only a freshman, played a brilliant game at goalie, and was scored on only 22 times while his teammates made 35 goals. The year was unusually good for hockey, with over 60 days of playable' ice, and even after the season closed there were many days of practice on Fawn Lake, although the land rink was not a great success. The practice should show up next year, for many underformers showed great im- provement, and the prospects are that the season will be an unusually successful one.

Two veterans led the team this year, Captain Preston Cooper and John Cluett, both seniors, but the bulk of the team was composed of underformers Josh Edgerly, Larry Turnure, Don Webster, and Tom and Don Hutchinson, all of whom have several years of skiing for Berkshire before them. Captain Cooper did a good job this year, but the real star was John Cluett who had the unusual honor of receiving both major ski trophies, the Joel Coffin Trophy for the skiier who is best in the slalom, and the William Draper Coddington Trophy which is awarded for all around excellence. On January 22 the team held its first meet, a downhill and slalom race with Hotchkiss. Hotchkiss managed to win the first three places in each event. Turnure took a fourth in the downhill, and Cluett, Cooper, and Webster took fourth, fifth, and sixth places respectively in the slalom. were Eight days later the team showed amazing im- provement in the Pittsfield lnterscholastics. Cluett showed great ability by winning the first event, the cross country. In the slalom Berkshire took only sixth place as a team, and Cooper was the only member to place well. In the downhill event the following day Cluett and Cooper took fourth and ninth places. That afternoon in the jumping event John Cluett starred again when he took second place honors. The third meet of the year was with Kent. The Green tied Webster, Edgerly, and Hutchinson for second place in the downhill, and Cluett, Cooper, and Webster took second, third, and fourth in the slalom. The final score was 194-190. Two different meets were held with Salisbury. Becket of Salisbury was their only star, but he managed to win several firsts- for his team, and Berkshire had to be content with taking the other places in the meet. Salisbury succeeded in winning only the downhill. Coach Roberts had a good team this year, and has every reason to expect that the young talent which developed so well will bring him champion- ship teams in the years to come. fav First Row, left to right: Clark, Hanafee, Harmon, Storrs, Francis, B., Cohen, Wood, W.

The Green and Gray basketball team this year was one of the youngest in its history, and although youth and inexperience meant that the season was only moderately successful, many of the players showed promise for the future, and some played brilliant individual games. Roger Goodman, a junior, won the new one year scoring record this year, and made 37 points in a game against Canterbury and 29 against Trinity-Pawling. Large and tall, he will have another year to star for Berkshire. Captain Tom Storrs was out of action for a while with a shoulder injury, but his excellent team play and spirit made him a mainstay of the team while he was on the court. Another senior, .lim Harmon also proved a great asset to the team. Others who contributed greatly were starters Clint Sadler, and substitutes Allan Simpson and Don Borkowski. The team started the season with a bang with successive wins against Lenox, Cranwell fwho had been greatly favoredl, and Salisbury, but then went into a tremendous mid-season slump and lost eight in succession, although many of these games were by very close scores. The five bounced back into the win column with a decisive victory over Trinity-Pawling, lost a hearthreaker to Hotchkiss, and ended the season with a win against Taft, 77-64.

Eighteen players tried out for the team, and there was strong competition for the first six places on the ladder. Five varsity players this year had had previous experience on the team. Doug Gardner, captain and number one, had been first on the ladder for three years, and Jim McCurrach was number two for the second consecutive year. Both were hard pressed by Weller Wood who managed to keep the three slot, and for a while stole the second position from McCurrach. The next two on -the ladder were also old timers, Peter Whitridge and Steve Smith, and only Bill Seeley, in the sixth position most of the year, was new to the team. Coach deVillafranca will have only Smith, of this year's starters, back to play next year. Whitridge was the most successful in inter- scholastic competition, winning 856 points and losing only-259g he was followed by McCurrach who won 7112 and lost 3V4 and Gardner with a 6Mx and 314 record. After getting the courts in shape the team won its first match against Lenox April 29, 7-0 and had high hopes of an undefeated season. These were dashed a week later, however, when an unex- pectedly strong Taft team downed the Green and Gray 6-3. With the exception of two other losses, to Westminster 75-155, and Trinity-Pawling 5-4, the team won its other matches easily, defeating Salisbury 6-3, South Kent 5-2, Gunnery 7-0, and Canterbury 7-0. Douglass Gardner again sparked the team with his hard-hitting seady play and his beautiful form. Playing number one in all of the matches he met the best the other schools had to oHer and was al- most invariably successful. .lim McCurrach also played beautiful tennis, and managed to heat Doug in the tournament for the Tennis Cup this year for the second time. Weller Wood, number three on the team, challenged ,lim hard and often, and im- proved greatly.

Un- fortunately they were not so successful in their non- league games, which were played with bigger schools, and the overall record for the year is six wins and six losses. In league competition the team placed second, and was defeated for the champion- ship in a tight game by Canterbury, which thus be- came the league leader. Allan Simpson was captain and first baseman of the team, and led his aggregation in runs batted in. Tom Storrs was the regular catcher and also won batting honors of an outstanding record of .386, well ahead of Lee Cole who had the second highest batting average with .24-9. Storrs also led the team in stolen bases. Cole, however had the record for runs scored. A newcomer this year, Clint Sadler, replaced last year's star pitcher, Schach Van Steenberg as star pitcher and won five games losing only two. Ted Klinck had a one and one pitching record, and Joel Spivak and Tommy Thompson also helped with the mound chores. shea essa rehash is .SJ Coaches George Menard and George Ditrnar were more than pleased with their infield which starred Simpson at first base, Raleigh Clark at third, Bob Shaw at short, and Ted Smith at second. In the outfield Lee Cole made some of the best plays ever seen on the local diamond, Mike Hanafee played well land hit the only Berkshire homer of the seasonj, and Clarke Field regularly did a good job. Although a number of this year's stars, among them Storrs, Simpson, Cole, and Hanafee, will .not be returning, the prospects for next spring appear to be excellent. There will be new blood up from the jayvees, and in addition Clark, Field, Bruce Francis, and others will be back. One of the out- standing returnees will be Clint Sadler, who was chosen as next captain of the team by the lettermen at the spring athletic banquet.

TR CK1953 Berkshire's 1953 track team had a successful season, winning dual meets with Taft, Pittsfield, and Trinity-Pawling, a triangular meet with Westmin- ster and Millbrook, and losing only to Hotchkiss and in the Pentagonal. .lohn Henderson was the undoubted star of the team this spring. He rolled up a total of 54M points in competition, and won both the 100 yard dash and the 220 low hurdles in the Pentagonal, the only Berkshire competitor to score victories in that meet. In the regular season he was unde- feated in the 100 and lost only once in the 220. Captain Scudder Smith starred in the high hurdles, and took seconds and thirds regularly in the 220's. Jim Harmon, a newcomer this year, as was Henderson, was the chief contenter in the 4-4-0., and Bob Dentan and Dick Millham did excellent work in the half mile and mile runs. Millham was undefeated in regular competition, but unfortunate- ly did not place in the pentagonals. Two boys were outstanding in field events. Tony Austin threw the hammer with increasing ferocity, and nearly broke the school record when he placed second in the Pentagonal. .lack Phillips won the Bassett Shot Put trophy for the second year in a row and managed to amass 31 points during the season in that and in the discus. John Cluett was outstanding in the pole vault, and placed first in all but one of the regular meets. Although Berkshire placed last in the Pentagonal against four other schools, all much larger, the season was an extremely successful one, and coaches Beattie, Skinner, and Roberts are pleased with the season and with prospects for the year to come. There were a number of other trackmen who did well during the season and who will win many points for Berkshire next year. Millham, Dentan and Henderson will return, and will be aided by others, Tom Hutchinson, Ted Merritt, Dave Sauer, Stacy McDonald, Bob Hogeman, Ken Jones, and Dave Bassett, all of whom won letters his spring. At the spring athletic banquet Tony Austin won the Track Trophy, The Edward McClure Peters Cup for greatest improvement in track went to Dick Millham, and John Henderson was chosen captain of next year's team.

Missing is David Carter Gillis. Cunl Five members of the class of 1953 were wel- comed into the Cum Laude Society this year, an unusually large number. The five, all of whom are going to attend Harvard in the fall, are Lee Cole, David Francis, Douglass Gardner, David Gillis, and Ralph Kaplan. Induction ceremonies were held May 3, in place of the regular Sunday chapel service. Mr. Eipper, head of the local chapter, was in charge of the program, and the principal speaker was Dr. Ed- mund Ware Sinnott, dean of the Yale Graduate School. F Dr. Sinnott spoke on the need for enlightened and broad scholarship, and pointed out that in- telligent thinking was the only real way to a suc- cessful life. Dr. Sinnott, a remarkable scientist and administrator in his own right, proved to he a living example of the success of which he spoke. Cum Laude is the highest academic honor which a senior at Berkshire can win, and the Society is the secondary equivalent of Phi Beta Kappa. The Berkshire chapter was founded by Mr. Albert Keep fifteen years ago, and for the last ten years or L right: Mr. Eipper, Chapter head, Ralph Moss aude more Mr. Eipper has been president of the school's branch of the organization.

Commencement Berkshire's forty-sixth Commencement was held June 6, 1953, in the study hall. Thirty-six members of the class of 1953 were graduated in ceremonies presided over by Mr. Chase in the absence of Mr. Godman, who was unable to be present. As Mr. Chase said in his introductory remarks, the ceremony differed in three ways from previous Commencements. Announcement was made of a large gift from M'r. and Mrs. Geier for the new dormitoryg Mr. Dean was about to retire after forty-live years of successful teaching at Berkshireg and two members of the graduating class made the principal addresses. James Crampton McCurrach made the first of these talks, and pointed out the significance of graduation from secondary school as the end of the beginning of an education. He was followed by David Carter Gillis who spoke on the need for our early preparation for, and active participation in, a free world. The Reverend Ralph E. Rowse of the Old Parish Congregational Church in Sheffield gave the invocation and the benediction. Before the award of diplomas and certificates, recognition of service to the school was made in the form of trophies and prizes to outstanding members of the various classes. The academic awards are noted on the opposite page, the other prizes, which were given at commencement are: BERKSHIRE CUP U0 that senior who during the school year shows the best school spirit and general ejiciencyl not awarded this year.
