Class Prophecy I have recently undergone the most extra- ordinary experience I can contemplate, one so extraordinary that I am not a little dubious of its credibility even now. Yesterday I met a man whose name I shall probably never know, a most unusual man. I should never have realized just -how unusual he actually was had we not entered into a conversation about some mutual acquaintances, and found some wide discrepancies in our descriptions of these in- dividuals. Rather than try to interpret the story I shall reconstruct the conversation to the best of my ability. I begin when he told me that he had re- cently met Dave Pyle, a wealthy financier, and a quite affable man to boot. The-n he spoke of meeting a man named Michael Craw- ford, a strangle sort, a medlium who professed to have spiritual contact with the ghost of a French-Canadian fadclist author named Jack Kerouac. He then described to me a play he had seen the previous night, in which had ap- peared an impassioned actor named Kenneth Fox, who played Falstaff in Henry IV. At this point I should have stopped him and politely suggested the improbability of his stories, for I knew that I had graduated from preparatory school with these individuals not two weeks before. But since I was intrigued by his narra- tive and there seemed little possibility of stop- ping him, I allowed him to go on. Basso profundo John Roy, he told me, had recently given an outstanding performance at the Met. My informist then produced, much to my amazement, a copy of The New York Times, dated June I7, l975, and pointed out an editorial, written by the syndicated column- ist, J. D. Bodak. In the same issue I read of the latest marriage of international playboy Bill Mayher, and how Rich Bradley had broken the six-month-old uranium strike. I noted in the sports section that Hugh J. Weidinger had been signed as head coach of the Baltimore Colts, along with super-star Big Daddy Schmidt. On the society page l noted that Roger Powers 'had recently given a S25l,OOO party in honor of Charlotte Ware, daughter of the fabulously rich Texas rancher Peter Ware. He then beckoned to his close friend, Don Carlos Worthington, headwaiter of the swank El Clippo Club, where this remarkable conver- sation took place, and asked to speak to the owner, H. Todd Spofford, with whom we had a delightful little talk until business called him away. I noticed that the stranger carried in his pocket a copy of the latest best-seller, My Sister Had No Brothers, written by Milo D. Folley, and published by the Collins Pub- lishing House. My companion wore on his wrist a strange timepiece, which he told me was a combination barometer, thermometer, anemometer, and chronometer, a recent invention of Pete Otis. He wore a weli tailored suit which he had bought from Smith Mowry, manager of Mil- ler's Campus Toggery, recommended in the popular men's magazine, Gayboy, published by John Johnson Peavy Odell, Ill. He expressed his regret at my not being able to hear the Zen Ten Minus Eight, a jazz combo featuring Steve Jenks and Dave Smith, which was taking a day off. My strange companion then voiced his ap- proval of the diplomatic tactics of Mr. Scott Patton, who, my friend was convinced, wielded more influence in the Foreign Service than any of his predecessors. Also active in politics, he noted, was Senator Dave Edson, who had re- cently delivered a vehement address against fellow Senator John Oldham, whom 'he accused of literally clouding the issue by covering the Senate floor with a dense, impenetrable fog of black cigarette smoke. He accused page 'boy Gerry Francis of importing these illicit cigar- ettes into the Senate. ln answer to further questions this strange gentleman described several engineering ad- vances of the past year, notably that of the famous physicist Russell Strasburger, who per- fected a method of propelling craft through shallow water, in this method the craft is drawn by a team of Watusis, led by Steve Norman, who borrowed the team from their native Swahililand with the permission of pro- vincial governor Mac Simpson. He then expressed his distaste for the current trend in popular music, as exemplified by guitar strumming singers George Berger and Dick Granger. He told how Steve Wil- liams, noted author and scholar, had recently won the Nobel Prize for archeological re- search. He also mentioned with pride his daughter, who he said was attending Miss Cor- ridor's Girls' School lheadmaster, Bob Fieldl, where she was taking an advanced mathe- matics course from Robert Richardson. He spoke of buying stock in Spencer Tobacco Company, whose chief tester is the noted to- bacco authority, Bill Richards. He also told of spending a week in the Berkshires, at the famous summer resort run by Dave Ressler, where he received some ex- cellent tennis instruction from Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Salembier. He noted that the social activities, organized by Pete O'Hara, were exceptionally enjoyable, as well as the dancing instruction by Steve Smith. Among the celeb- rities he saw there were two famous disc jockeys, Andy Fried, noted for the long and irregular hours he keeps on his show, and Cliff Johnson, who has started a regular night people's cult among dissentin-g radio listen- ers. Don Polak, owner of radio station WAIL and employer of both disc jockeys, even said Hiya to the mysterious stranger, who seemed to relish this bit of conversation with the celebrity. Alan Ekstein, noted for his ama- tory prowess, was seen at poolside with Liza Colket, the daughter of comedian Peter Col- ket. Then, as it was long past the time when I should have gone home, we rose, paid our checks, and went out into the street. On find- ing that our destinations lay in the same di- rection, I hailed a taxi for us both, opened the door, and turned to find that he had gone. The unofficial Berkshire School Glee Club.

He studies and sometimes studies very conscientiously, but it is rare for a student to realize and understand the im- portance of his education. The grade remains the primary motivation. There is nothing wrong with this, and it is inevitable that it should be this way. As the years pass, however, and as the student becomes older and more mature, he begins to realize that achieving a good grade is a hollow victory. His thoughts begin to penetrate that hazy cloud concealing the fu- ture and the post-college period. He sees the day when he will be out of college and on his way in the world that seems to be a complex of professions and businesses. Within this complex he must make his life and success. Tfhe degree of that success, in his own eyes and in others' eyes, depends on the amount of understanding and wisdom the student ac- Get wisdom, get understanding: forget it not, neither decline from the words of my mouth. Forsake her not, and she shall preserve thee: love her, and she shall keep thee. cumulates while at Berkshire and in college. The idea of wisdom and understanding is broad and general, but one can plainly see that both are the result of education and ex- perience. Experience comes from living, from traveling and reading, and is largely acquired through the pursuit of interests outside School. On the other hand, education is acquired at School, and is the result of learning. Here at Berkshire and later on in college there are excellent opportunities to become very well educated. If a student leaves Berkshire and college without having taken advantage of the education offered, he will be unable to make sound and wise decisions. He will lack the background necessary and will unavoidab- ly be in for a period of roughness and flound- ering. Certainly, he will eventually emerge a wiser and better man, but only after inevitable failures. Now, while at School, is the time to avoid this unhappiness, the time to obtain wisdom and understanding. Wisdom is the principal thing, therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding . . . Book of Proverbs, Chapter 4, Verses 5-7 i GEORGE SPENCER BERGER A devoted follower of the cool sound is The Berg, and the deafening blare of Rock n' Roll is a sure sign of his whereabouts. His affable nature and sense of humor have made him an integral part of the Class for the past four years, George has found it hard to break away from New Haven's social life, but on campus he has made a definite name for himself. Berg was a member of the Press Club and an important part of the newly organized squash team. Both the Varsity soccer and the tennis teams have benefited from George's athletic ability. Because of his friendliness, Berg should be a welcome addition on the college campus and undoubtedly should go far in a career in journalism. JOSEPH DANIEL BODAK, JR. Neatly dressed in tasteful clothes and a genial smile, Joe has proved a cheerful and responsi- ble member of his Class. Quick of wit, he has earned a reputation for being ultra-well in- formed about goings on around the School as befits his position as editor-in-chief of The Trail this year. Joe has organized the publi- cation of the yearbook in an efficient and businesslike manner, and with a good deal of hard work has made this issue of The Trail a fine one. He has also been of great service to the football and basketball teams as a highly dependable manager. But there is an- other side to this conscientious young man. A member of the Glee Club, Joe blended his voice with those of the other Greensleeves. He is liked as a person and respected as a leader. Joe will be sought out by his classmates at Alumni meetings for years to come. RICHARD HUNT BRADLEY Since he arrived three years ago with a varied assortment of Iona athletic apparel, Rich has been a leader in every part of School life. Politically, he held the office of Junior Council Member, and was vice-president of the Junior Class. This year he is a Senior Prefect. His great calling, however, was found on the ath- letic field, where he has shown himself to be a superior competitor in Varsity football, base- ball, and basketball, which he captained. He has also served as associate editor of The Green and Gray, chairman of the Dance Com- mittee, and member of the Glee Club and its special group, the Greensleeves. He is most renowned for his whip-cracking ability on his corridor, Memorial lll. Rich hopes to continue his education at Cornell. Q L A Ms , Q.. Q ,tt Q I... iw vt ' .

When he wasn't studying or patrolling the corridor, he was either performing his duties as assistant business manager of The Trail or writing and proofreading articles for the Press Club's Sports Department, of which he was assistant editor. Two years of service in the Glee Club have proven Pete's interest in vocal work. His interest also lies in the stage, as he has been in the Dramatic Club for three years. Pete earned his letter two years in a row on Varsity soccer. ln the spring he spent his afternoons working on the cin- ders as a member of the Varsity track team. STEPHEN HORTON COLLINS Steve, a representative of the Manhattan and Quoque elite, entered Berkshire four years ago. Since then, he has made a name for himself in many diverse activities such as the Press Club, Dramatics Club and the soccer team. Steve is a diligent worker, but after a long day of classes and of working out on the athletic fields, he was able to retreat to his Pullman, constructed in Allen l's mysterious Casbah. During the summer Steve enjoys the night life of a sybarite, and during the day he skippers the Joan, of the S.S. class, to innumerable victories. Steve hopes to enter business administration at the end of his col- lege career, and if what he has accomplished here at Berkshire in four years is an indication of later life, he should be a great success. MICHAEL FENTON CRAWFORD Mike is a denizen of the thriving metropOliS, New York City. During his four years at Berk- shire he has been on Honor Roll and 75 List many times, thus showing his ample ability in and liking for scholastics. One of his prom- inent interests is philosophy, and thiS Often appeared in discussions of the Literary Club, of which he is a co-founder. This is only natural, for Mike has continually shown him- self to be thoughtful and analytical. Mike was most definitely an asset to the soccer team this fall, as can be seen by the goals he SCOVSCL- His other athletic activities include schussing the Coffin in the winter and sun bathing in the spring. Mike's intellect and wit will be a greOf asset to him in later life, as they have been here at Berkshire. A- DAVID SQUIER EDSON As president of the school, Dave commanded the respect of students and faculty alike. At council meetings, over which he presided, as well as in everyday life, Dave assumed fully his responsibilities as head of the student body. His success at Berkshire and in future years will be attributed to his friendly and indus- trious approach to his duties. Dave's only complaint is lack of sleep. Squire, as he is sometimes called, shows leadership in extra- curricular activities as sports editor of The Green and Gray and as secretary of the Glee Club. The fact that he was a member of the Dance Committee suggests that Dave is popular with the opposite sex, about which no one has any doubts. On the athletic field he has competed in three Varsity sports, football, hockey, and track. This year Squire was co-captain of the hockey squad for the second consecutive year, no surprise to those who know his ability. In general, Dave is one of the main reasons for the success of the Class of l96O. 5 X Q . 5: X 'QM 'I' ,... N igg - If g. inl ALAN RICHARD EKSTEIN Alan is one of the few Berkshire students who never seem to tire of talking about their home town. AI's is Gloversville, New York, and he expounds its many virtues practically every day. During his three years here Alan has made himself indispensable in extra-curricular activities, while continually maintaining one of the top averages in the School. Because of his ability in English, he has been on the staff of The Green and Gray and The Trail for the past two years. Alan has also participated in Var- sity football, basketball, and baseball. His basketball career, however, was suspended this year because of a football injury. At college Al plans to be a business major, and we wish him all the success in the world. ROBERT BUNTEN FIELD, JR. This stalwart lad from Brockton, Massachu- setts, is one of the seniors who resided in Uncle Tom's Cabin on the hill. Every day he descended to the campus to keep his class- mates 'laughing or to show the boys how sports are played in Brockton. As a starter on both the Varsity basketball and football teams, he has made quite a name for him- self as an athlete in the three years he has been at Berkshire. As evidence of his liter- ary accomplishments Bob was editor of The Dome in his junior year, but modestly terms his English grades just tolerable, On the playing field as well as in the classroom Bob is a keen competitor, much to the distress of the unfortunate who plays opposite him in any sport. The quick wit and keen com- petitive spirit which he has displayed here at the School will take Bob far in later life. MILO DARWIN FOLLEY, JR. When Milo arrived at Berkshire last year, it soon became obvious that his motto was that actions speak louder than words, for without a great deal of ado he was soon stealing many of the academic honors of his class. At the end of one year he was tied for the honor of Junior Scholar. Milo's interests are by no means confined to his studies. His frequent contributions to The Green and Gray have brought him promotion to the position of copy editor. As the consistent keeper for the wrestling team he wisely ac- quired the backing of a dozen of Berkshire's more Herculean lads. Milo's only problem at Senior House was Mr. Eipper vs. Lights. Undoubtedly, Milo is a member of a very select set in being able to make Harvard his second choice. Wherever he goes he seems certain to make a distinguished name for himself. KENNETH ZIEGLER FOX Every day Ken Fox, of Williamstown, Massa- chusetts, can be seen matching wits with Mr. Eipper, but that doesn't keep this diligent lad from participating in extracurricular activities. Popular and hardworking, Kern has been elected to many offices in various clubs. His love for acting and his prowess in dramatics earned him the presidency of the Dramatics Club. A stalwart second bass in the Glee Club, Ken was its treasurer, and in the literary field he was secretary of the Press Club. Foxie, as he is known by his closer friends, showed much will and determination on the athletic field, and battled his way to a starting position on the Varsity football squad. Whether on the baseball diamond, where his true love of sports lies, in class, or just in a dormitory bull ses- sion, Foxie showed facility and eagerness to do well. These attributes will surely carry him far. .. . , zr- - C fff I ,.,,. GEORGE GERARD FRANCIS Gerry Francis is one of the two day students of the Class of 1960. He is also one of the few boys who have been able to hold up to Berk- shire's standards since the eighth grade, five long years ago. Though not the biggest boy around, Gerry always does his share of work and has his share of fun. Each year he has been on the Trail Squad and served as man- ager of the track team. ln his junior year he was awarded the trophy for having made most improvement in wrestling. Gerry is quiet and reserved, and apt to be in the background, but when drawn out, he has a ready sense of humor, is quick witted, and makes the best of everything. He blends well with the Class and is liked and respected by everyone. t ANDREW MICHAEL FRIED Undoubtedly the most decorated member of the senior class, Andy is successful in what- ever he attempts. In his freshman year he was starred in the Dramatics Club's production, A Sound of Hunting, and later became presi- dent of the Club. From the executive offices of the penthouse suite, Andy, as editor-in- chief of The Green and Gray, would set the presses rolling on the tri-weekly edition with the help of his vast staff of assistant editors, reporters, and typists. Membership on the Student Council, the Glee Club, and the Liter- ary Club can also be added to his long list of activities. One of the more avid ski enthusi- asts, he was a memfber of both the Varsity ski and baseball teams. For some unknown reason lit might be Miss Hall'sJ, Andy seems to like the State of Massachusetts. Next stop is Cor- nell, after which he plans a career in medicine. With the considerable success which he has had at Berkshire, Andy's future is a mystery to no one. RICHARD DODGE GRANGER Dick's good nature and talent have made him a popular personage in his Class. Nearby North Egremont, Massachusetts, is his home, and practically every weekend Dick could think of some excuse to get home to see his harem, This routine continued for the past two years. For the three years before that, Dick was a day student, and excuses weren't necessary except to his parents. A great deal of his time has been spent managing two of Berkshire's popular Varsity sports, soccer and hockey. His scholastic ability is indicated by the fact that he took two courses from Mr. Eipper. During an occasional moment of re- laxation, it is not unusual to find Dick play- ing the guitar. His determination should carry him a long way toward success in future years. STEPHEN MANSFIELD JENKS Since entering Berkshire as a sophomore, Steve has proved his ability in both academics and sports. Most of his free time was con- sumed preparing for the four A-section courses which he carries, including two with Mr. Eip- per. Although Steve was an active member of the Butt Room in the fall, winter and spring afternoons found him hard at work on the basketball court and in the high lump pit. Steve's greatest interests are creative writing and literature. Thus, he has become an active member of both the Press and Literary Clubs, and is one of the founders of the latter. Dur- ing the spring, on warm Sunday afternoons, one was very likely to find Steve somewhere on the mountain, creating poetry, one of his favorite pastimes. A very conscientious mem- ber of the senior class, Steve is sure to make his mark in creative work. CLIFFORD FROST JOHNSON Cliff's individualism and candid humor have won him the respect and friendship of all who have known him during his four years at Berk- shire. Being a distinguished Latin scholar and a member of A English section has resulted in his holding the assistant editorship of The Dome in his junior and senior years. In the fall Cliff was a member of the Varsity foot- ball squad. He also devoted his talents to hockey, skiing, and track, Cliff's dissertation on the merits of Volkswagons, his occasional snowshoeing expeditions, his interest in exotic music ipossibly forced on him by his crazed roommatel, and above all his diligent schol- astic efforts have made him an eminent mem- ber of Senior House, as well as of the Senior Class. x xi. 2 1 J V Q 2. deg'- E WILLIAM SAWYER MAYHER Undoubtedly one of the most popular members of the Class of '60 is Willie Mayher. Captain- ing two Varsity sports in his senior year, and accumulating eleven Varsity B's through- out his prep school career are only a few of his many accomplishments. Hailing from the posh community of Worcester, Massachusetts, he is quite adept in the social graces. Besides his athletic and social commitments, his fa- vorite pastime--next to scholastics, of course -was starting or joining many bull sessions, an art at which he has few equals. When out of training, Will headed for his second home, the Butt Room, habitat of all tellers of tall tales. I-le has excelled in the Glee Club and in his work with the Dance Committee-a well rounded record for a well rounded student. DONALD LYNN MILLER If you should happen to notice a figure jauntily ambling along, wearing a Continental suit with sneakers to match, you'lI know that Don is on the scene. His dapper attire and love of sports cars, modern jazz, avante guarde literature, and girls have made Don the most likely candidate for the title, Play- boy of the Class of '6O. Fastidious in his appearance, he was also fastidious about his schoolwork, never handing in a paper that wasn't in the most immaculate form. On the athletic field, however, he changed from his native casualness into a compact ball of fire. His unflagging determination gave support to the Varsity football, skiing, and track teams. Neither Don's tales of daring on the race track, nor Don the Man will soon be for- gotten. MICHAEL GURDON MILLER Mike's favorite activity, the one with which his name is always associated, is the taking and developing of pictures. He was not only the head of the Photographic Association, but photographic editor of The Trail and The Green and Gray. Wherever Mike was found there were always some boys asking him if this or that picture of them had come out well, if it would appear in any of the publica- tions, or if they might have a print of it. This fall Mike was one of the numerous halfbacks competing for a position on the Varsity soc- cer team, and when he wasn't playing, he was usually scouting the best camera angle in order to catch his teammates in action. Mike is not one of the great talkers of the School, and it is sometimes very difficult to get him to expound his latest philosophic dis- covery. When questioned about what he is doing, his usual reply is, Just thinking. SMITH GAY MOWRY Smith, a quiet member of the senior class, has accomplished a great deal during his three years stay at Berkshire. When not singing with the Greensleeves and Glee Club, Smith played clarinet or saxophone for the Instru- mental Group, and since his junior year, has been active in the Dramatics Club. Being a true New Englander, Smith established a profitable subscription service in his sopho- more year, and in his senior year became busi- ness manager of The Trail. During the fall Smith played soccer, but it was during the winter that he was most active, for in addition to snowshoeing up the mountain and skiing down, Smith belonged to the Maple Syrup Club, and took frequent runs to Fawn Lake in preparation for track. Yet, despite these many activities, and Mr. Stevens, Smith earned a respectable scholastic average. STEPHEN PECKHAM NORMAN Although Steve joined the Class in his junior year, he has in this relatively short time made a deep impression. Often mistaken for a White Hunter because of his jungle chapeau and his ability to mimic the Northern Bantu language, Swahili, Steve has used this good fortune to terrorize the opposition while play- ing tackle on the Varsity football team. This linguistic aptitude has carried over into aca- demics, where Steve finds himself competing in daily battle with a most worthy oppo- nent, Mr. Stevens, in Latin Ill. By virtue of his football reputation and a 6'2 frame, Steve found very little trouble in controlling his sophomore corridor. His original humor and strong competitive spirit have made Steve a great classmate, and we will surely be right in predicting a solid and successful future. JOHN JOHNSON PEAVY ODELL, lll At home Little One can usually be found with Suzie close at his side wielding a black Hillman Minx convertible about the country roads of Wayne, Illinois. On campus .lay was seldom at the pad. ln athletics Jay was a leader of the Varsity wrestling squad for two years, and found new success since joining the Varsity soccer squad this past fall. Spring- time brought a rest period for Jay, for he and Eric Schmidt basked in the Berkshire sun, carrying out their duties as managers of the tennis squad. Jay also contributed greatly to the School off the athletic fields by serving as a member of the Press Club and the Glee Club. Because of his rare personality, this little guy will always be liked wherever he goes. If Jay's talent for cartooninig is any indication of his ability, he will be a great success as a com- mercial artist. PETER DRAYTON O'HARA The year l955 brought a small bundle of red hair to Berkshire School, and five years later Pete O'Hara emerged, a tall, prominent, hand- some senior. During those years Pete has excelled on the athletic field as well as around the campus. Varsity soccer, skiing, and tennis have been his major interests, and he has con- tributed greatly to these various activities. When not on the field, Pete could be found singing for the Greensleeves or trying desper- ately to arrange next week's skating party with Miss Hall's. One did not find him on campus Sunday afternoons, for he was prob- ably visiting one of the various girls' schools, carrying out his dance-committee duties. An exception to the lrish-have-bad-tempers rule, Pete has a very even disposition. With his wonderful personality, Pete will undoubt- edly win many more friends in college and in later life. JOHN WILLIAMS OLDHAM, ll John Oldham's senior year was his second at Berkshire. He is liked and respected by his classmates for his contributions to the School, both academic and extracurricular. ln addi- tion to being a member of The Green and Gray, John was a manager of the Varsity soccer team in the fall, a skier in the winter, and an outfielder for the Varsity baseball team in the spring. When John was not study- ing, one might expect to fin:l him either in the Butt Room or dealing a hand of cards. John's room was strewn with electrical equip- ment which provided much of the music, Rock n' Roll or otherwise, on Allen ll. John hopes to be an aeronautical engineer, and with his exceptional ability in physics and advanced mathematics, he should have no trouble what- soever in achieving success. PETER WITHERSPOON OTIS Throughout his four years at Berkshire, Pete has commanded a position of respect in his class, both academically and athletically, for he has lent his time and ability to many varied activities at the School. Pete is an excellent skier and tennis player. During the past two falls he has served as manager of the J. V. soccer squad, and in his senior year he has been active in two new organizations, the Science Club and the Radio Club, of which he is vice-president and president, respectively. A conditional acceptance at Johns Hopkins is indicative of Pete's industry and scholastic powers. His congenial, boisterous nature has made him an integral part of Berkshire life. Pete should certainly prove successful in aero- nautical engineering, his chosen field. EDWARD SCOTT PATTON Scott came to Berkshire in his iunior year, and a half a year later was a member of the Student Council and active in other important School activities. One could often hear his baritone voice in the Glee Club or Green- sleeves, or hear his instructions to the Press Club, of which he was president. He also kept a watchful eye on the sophomores on Memor- ial Ill. When asked where he lives, Scott always replies, Milwaukee , for his principal interest, a certain blonde named Dianne, re- sides there. He is proficient in football, in which he has won three Varsity letters, and also wrestling, skiing and track. Scott is a quiet boy with an ever ready smile and a good word for all, as well as a conscientious student. With these qualities, he should be a great success in college and later life. DONALD JAMES POLAK At l0:O0 the familiar cry of Lights Out! could be heard resounding through Allen Il. The voice belonged to Don Polak, who pre- sided, with the help of his roommate, over the juniors on that corridor. Don came to Berk- shire in his freshman year and in his four years here he has displayed a very fine sense of humor which made him popular with both faculty and students. Most of Don's time, after he had finished his studies, was taken up by his duties on the Press Club, of which he was sports editor and vice-president. On the athletic field Don enjoys football and base- ball, 'both of which he has played at the Var- sity level. Don hopes to go to Colby College, where he would like to study English. ROGER KENYON POWERS Though Rog Powers is one of the many from Grosse Pointe, Michigan, he is by no means a type, but rather a unique boy at Berk- shire. His tact and inborn knowledge of how to handle people combine with his wit and humor to produce a blend of character no one can dislike. Evidently his easygoing nature paid off socially, for Rog could usually be found with four or five letters in his hand im- mediately preceding supper. If he is a little too given to superlatives about his home town, at least no one can doubt the loyalty he feels toward it. Athletically speaking, Rog has dis- tinguished himself by being Varsity football manager, a Varsity hockey stalwart, and a baseball man. Though being sports editor of The Trail has kept him busy, Rog has been able to maintain a consistently respectable average. DAVID FIN LAY PYLE When Dave came to Berkshire in his sopho- more year, he immediately showed himself to be a hard worker. Besides his academic work, Dave has also shown his ability on the athletic fields. He was elected captain of the tennis team in his junior year and led the J. V. foot- ball squad during the fall season. When Dave wasn't hitting the books or lending his abilities to a sport, he filled the job of business man- ager of The Green and Gray. Many times this meant he had to burn the midnight oil in order to accomplish his day's work. This year Dave has also been elected senior class presi- dent and member of the Senior Council. A job well done in every one of these depart- ments has demonstrated to his classmates and the rest of the School that Dave should be very successful in college and in his years after- ward. DAVID BLAIR RESSLER, JR. During the three years that Dave Ressler has been at Berkshire his name has frequently ap- peared on the 75 List or Honor Roll. Dave seems to be especially interested in the sci- ences and is getting a good start towards a career in automotive engineering by serving as president of the newly formed Science Club. He was also a member of the Radio Club, and usually had quite an assortment of screw- drivers, wrenches, spare parts, and almost recognizable radios and phonographs in his room. When his attentions were not directed toward electrical equipment, Dave was usually drawing sketches of ultra-modern cars and boats, which he hopes to be doing for a living someday. WILLIAM ROBINSON RICHARDS Opeling about the manicured countryside of Sewickley, Pennsylvania, Slim is usually in hot pursuit of adventure and some kind of stimulation. This fall Bill, as captain of the soccer team, led his inexperienced squad to its best season in the past six years. As for extra- curricular activities on campus he is a five- year man in the Glee Club and a member in the tenor section of the Greensleeves. Slim's unaffected good nature and ability to make sound effects of all sorts, combined with an acute wit, have placed him in a solid position of popularity in the Class of I96O. One ofthe few men to have remained at Berkshire for five years, Bill, we are sure, will have no trouble finding great success and happiness in later life. SK' ROBERT FRANK RICHARDSON During his three-years sojourn at Berkshire, Bob has contributed a great deal, 'both as a scholar and as an athlete. His prowess on the soccer field and on the tennis courts has earned him much acclaim from his fellow stu- dents. Bob has also been a consistently excel- lent scholar, one often to be found on the hal- lowed 75 List and Honor Roll. Both in and out of school Bob can be heard to expound at great lengths the virtues and the relative merits of Marblehead Society. Bob's immor- talization of the Big Four has also earned him much credit from others in the same plight as he, those taking the four hardest courses which Berkshire offers. Remembered for his ever ready wit and his talents in many fields, Bob should have great success at Haverford and in later life. JOHN ROBINSON ROY John came to Berkshire three years ago from Admiral Farragut Academy. He immediately distinguished himself as an excellent wrestler, and was named captain of the Varsity wrest- ling team in his Senior year. ln the fall John was on the Junior Varsity football team, and became one of the numerous netmen in the spring. We've all heard John's excellent solo voice in the Chapel and with the Greensleeves, and this year he was elected president of the Glee Club. ln addition to his Glee Club activi- ties, he was assistant sports editor of The Trail. He was also elected secretary-treasurer of the Senior Class. Hailing from Troy, New York, John is partial to a certain blonde from the home town. Scholastically, he has been very successful, especially in Mr. Stevens's very demanding French course, and no doubt his success will continue. BERNARD JOSEPH SALEMBIER, JR. B. J. came to Berkshire in the fall of l956. From New Canaan he brought many tales of the superior social life to be found there. In his sophomore year it wasn't long before he became a regular member of the Varsity ten- nis team. Partly because of his growing inter- est in St. Margaret's during his last two years here, Joe organized inter-school tennis compe- tition with girls' schools in the area. Also, he was the founder of the Berkshire School squash team, which takes much pride in com- peting with other schools. With his great ability to organize, it can be said that Joe should have few problems in his chosen career of business. Always -with a story or a smile, B. J. has been one of the popular members of our class. ERIC SCHMIDT If a member of the Class of l96O should ever pass through Baltimore, Maryland, in future years, undoubtedly his first thoughts will be of Eric Schmidt. When it comes to anecdotes about his home town, The Wick has the bull by the tail. Eric will long be remembered for his sense of humor, immortal sayings, and fresh terms of expression. Athletically, Eric has obtained a starting position on the football team in addition to captaincy of the wrestling squad. In the spring Eric retires to the Butt Room for a well deserved rest and a chance to expound the virtues of The Land of Pleasant Living. But he knows when to quit the fool- ing and hit the books, and during his four- years stay at Berkshire he has always ranked high academically in his class. His future lies in business, and he should have no trouble be- coming a success when he packs his Colt ban- ner and heads for college next fall. MacKlNNON SIMPSON Mac came to Berkshire in the fall of 1959, his junior year, from Pottersville, New Jersey. This studious yet witty member of the Class will long be remembered for his arguments in favor of owning a l930 Model A Ford. On the athletic side Mac played football, hockey, and tennis. He was a member of the Science Club, assistant chief of the Fire Department, director of the Maple Syrup Club, and a staff member of The Green and Gray and The Trail. Never at a loss for a girl to write, Mac spends hours in composing elaborate letters to Nina, the little blonde from home. Mac studies late into the night, subsisting only on coffee and Chef- Boy-Ar-Dee products. With his native intel- ligence, capacity for work, and his hilarious, sarcastic humor, Mac should attain success in life both during and after college. DAVID CARLSON SMITH Since entering Berkshire two years ago Dave has become an active and well liked member of our Class. One of the top senior scholars, Dave has also contributed his fine bass voice to the Glee Club and his solid writing ability to The Green and Gray. He was one of the founders of the Literary Club, a new organiza- tion at Berkshire this year. The blare of an electric guitar has often filtered down from the music room in Berkshire Hall, and we all knew that it was Dave who was playing. In addition to playing the guitar, he is also quite proficient on the drums. The Dramatics Club has also benefited from his ability, and with all this experience behind him, Dave should have no problems, academic or social, wher- ever he may go. STEPHEN HOFF SMITH Steve came to Berkshire in his sophomore year, and has been doing a good job ever since. During the past three years his presence has been noted in the Dramatics Club and the Glee Club, and this year in the Greensleeves. In that time Steve has torn up more than his share of the pole-vaulting pit in the spring, and the soccer field lfor the first timel last fall. But our Northeastern representative of Station WWVA also hits the books pretty hard. If you look far enough through the maze of radios, amplifiers, record-players, and spicy album covers, you will see Steve putting his talent into his academic endeavors. In the social spotlight, Steve uses his own taxi line to Great Barrington almost every weekend. There a large fan club awaits him, and he usually returns with a pleasant grin on his face. Well, as he always says, Stockbridge boy makes good. ll max, me ROBERT ACHESON SPENCER Bob's unassuming manner anid ready smile have made him many friends at Berkshire, and those who know him particularly well will re- member him as a very conscientious student, aware of his responsibilities and at the same time appreciative of the beauties of nature. When the weather is fair, Spence is fond of seeking peace and solitude in the beautiful surroundings of the Berkshires. Bob is also the good-humor man of the Butt Room, pos- sessing a personality with a refreshing whimsi- cality that sets him apart. But there is purpose to everything he does, and doubtless this quality will make him successful in later life. HOMER TODD SPOFFORD Todd is one of the few members of the class who have been at Berkshire since his freshman year. During these four years he distinguished himself on the athletic field by winning Varsity letters in football, basketball, and baseball. ln the spring Todd captained the baseball team from behind home-plate. As for extra- curricular activities, Todd was copy editor for the Sports Department of The Green and Gray, and was assistant sports editor of The Trail. He was also a member of the Press Club. Todd's bass voice has often been heard sing- ing solos in chapel and with the Greensleeves. His popularity is evident by his election to the Student Council, and Todd's probable success at college can easily be gauged by his long list of achievements at Berkshire. RUSSELL FRANCIS STRASBURGER, JR. Where's Newtown, Connecticut? lf this question had been asked on the campus two years ago, the answer would have been, What's Newtown, Connecticut?' Now every- one knows where it is and also that it is the home town of Russ Strasburger. Russ quickly made an excellent impression on the faculty by his consistent hard work, and upon his fellow students by his genial personality and athletic ability. Russ has been on Varsity soccer for the past two years. Although he enjoys soccer, his particular forte is baseball. The best way to describe Russ's baseball ability is to quote from one of his teammates: l can't remember how many times I walked out to the mound to congratulate Russ and thank him for pulling the game out of the fire. PETER WINSTON WARE Since l956, when Pete first came to Berkshire, he has been an asset not only to his class but to the School. The lad from Larchmont has come to be known for his unique humor and his love of the West. Pete has always been o leader. ln his freshman year he was a corridor councilor, and since then has held many class posts. The fact that he was elected to the Student Council is indicative of the respect in which he is held. On the athletic field Pete has also made a name for himself. ln the fall he piloted the Varsity football team, and dur- ing the spring Pete was Coach Myers's prize hurdler. The winter was reserved for strong endeavor in the field of blowing smoke rings and coaching the third-team hoopsters. Next year Pete hopes to attend Purdue University, where he feels he can best learn the cattle business, which he hopes to enter. HUGH JOHN WEIDINGER, lll Hugh is among the most distinguished mem- bers ofthe Class of l96O. In addition to being a member of both the Student and Athletic Councils, Hugh served as captain of both Var- sity football and Varsity track. Although he played Varsity basketball as a sophomore and junior, this year Hugh assumed the responsi- bility of coaching the third-team hoapsters. There are few people on the campus who don't know that Hugh hails from Great Neck, Long Island. Next to girls, according to Hugh, Great Neck is the greatest thing that ever happened. But besides exhibiting his excep- tional social and athletic skills, Hugh has proved himself to be a hard worker. His de- termined and conscientious attitude has en- abled him to be a creditable student. Hugh's determination and numerous abilities have assured him a very successful life. We q ' STEPHEN WILLIAMS In less than two years at Berkshire, Steve has become one of the most respected and liked boys in the School. In addition to being vice- president of the class, Steve is a member of the Glee Club, Greensleeves, and Press Club. A native of Shephardstown, West Virginia, Steve is regarded as one of the class scholars and has shown exceptional ability in both foot- ball and basketball. Last fall Steve led the football team in pass completion and was sec- ond highest scorer on the squad. Spring found Steve on the baseball squad at short stop. The freshmen in Buck will never forget Steve, nor will any member of the senior class. His mature outlook on life, good nature, and mod- est personality will definitely bring him success in the years to come. JAMES ROBERT WORTHINGTON A familiar figure around Berkshire, Jim was one of the few remaining five year boys. In addition, he enjoyed the distinction of being one of two senior day students. Hardly a morning went by that Jim didn't appear on the campus, laden with supplies of all kinds from the Great Barrington stores. His cheerful face was usually seen on the ski slopes in winter and on the track field during the spring term. Jim supplemented his skiing here at School by membership on the ski patrol at Catamount. ln his senior year he was runner-up in the School's annual chopping contest. Although there seems to be a lack of snow and ski slopes in Oklahoma, Jim's birthplace, he plans to return there to continue his schooling. RONALD RONSON MELLOWFINCH, IV Ronald, as he is affectionately known to his schoolmates, was a familiar sight to the inhabitants of the school community, as he is the last of the six-year men. Lackey, as he has often been jokingly tagged by his schoolmates, is noted for his mild manners and kindness, and has served the School in capacities varying from waiter to cocoa-dis- penser at teas. An avid badminton enthusiast as well as an eager French student, Ronald could most often be found trying to keep up with the bird, and eventually learned to tabu- late badminton scores in French. A staunch supporter of the .merits of his home in West- chester County, Ronald was often. heard extol- ling his homeland to the other half of the School. Ronald plans to continue his educa- tion somewhere in the East, majoring in eti- quette and table-hopping, and will undoubt- edly carry his friendliness and briefcase on into later life.

On the gridiron last fall Bob Gano, Don Goodrich, Linc Hoffman, 'Ed Hunt, Mike Little, Dick Morton, Walt Wilson, Steve Zuckerman, and the All- American end Corky Wheat, faced contender after contender and came out victorious. Don and Ed were chosen to captain the team next season. On the soccer field members of the junior class also did battle with the best of teams. With George Beebe, Tony Goldschmidt, Lenny Grace, Tom Hanson, and Topper Crane, Fred Nagel and Tony Nuland backing up the line, there are high hopes for another successful season. Fred Nagel and Tony Nuland will captain the team next September. As soon as the snow began to fly and the weather became even more brisk, next year's seniors engaged in all four of Berkshire's win- ter sports, wrestling, hockey, skiing, and bas- ketball. Among the grapplers were found Pete Kellogg, Bob Pike and Walt Wilson, mak- ing a way for themselves in their weight classes, and inspiring terror in all who met them on the mats. Shoveling snow off the hockey rinks no longer, but still plenty rough on the ice, Bob Gano, Ed Hunt, Garry Morfit, Dick :Morton and Pete Sammis did a tremen- dous job, in spite of the lack of ice. Don Good- rich headed Berkshire's swift and sure ski team, and was assisted by Jim Anderson, Minty Bourbon, John Miller, and Tony Nu- land. Down at Berkshire's gymnasium and on the court, no matter what the weather, were Cliff Greenwood, Luke Haran, Mike Little, Bill Matthews, and Tim O'Day. The good record ofthe team is at least partly due to the work of these boys. On the other side of the picture we find the class led scholastically by Luke iHaran, a prize student of Mr. Stevens, Dave Haidak with his five subjects, Topper Crane, Ed Her- rington, Tony Nuland, Tom Hanson, and Jimmy Wilson, who excels in both his mathe- matics courses. The junior class also seems to lead the School in the department of dramatics, with Minty Bourbon, Ross Bryon, Em Ford, Bill Klingenstein, and Mike Walker. ln The Monfkey's Paw Mike Walker did a superb job in the leading role. Ross Bryon, playing the part of a criminal in The Valiant, was most effective. ln the Berkshire School Glee Club, which was on radio earlier this year, we discovered that George Beebe, Don Goodrich, Luke Horan, Ed Hunt, Alan Maurer, and Bruce Morison have added to the Club's melodious sounds. We also find that in the recently reorganized Press Club, Bill Matthews heads the Home-Town section, and is one of the more active members, along with Jim Ander- son, George Beebe, Bill Braun, Topper Crane, Linc Hoffman, Corky Wheat, and Steve Zuck- erman. Don Goodrich and Bill Matthews or- ganized the School's Literary Club, and became, respectively, vice-president and presi- dent. Bill also is an assistant editor of The Green and Gray. For this publication also Tony Goldschmidt drew cartoons, and Ross Bryon, Dave Haidak, and Mike Little served as re- porters. Last but not least, we find four juniors on the Student Council, Luke Haran, Linc Hoff- man, Bruce Morison, and Steve Zuckerman. These are the boys who lead the School, through their integrity and judgement. Even more, these are the boys who could lead the Junior class to even greater achievements as seniors, working for life, not just for school. The Class of l962 H ' is . Lv 3 E N' .

Joe Upton, Wayne Russell, and Stu Marsh are the three class officers, and all of them have taken part in many of the School's activ- ities. Upton and 'Russell played Varsity soccer, while Marsh was a fullback for the Junior Var- sity football team. Other sophomores who have competed on Varsity squads are Steve Boyd, Andy Lincoln, T. D. McCormick, Gerry Michaud, Al Popkess, Butch Quindsland, and Dave Rogers. Besides these Varsity players many sophomores formed the nucleus of the various Junior Varsity squads. Biff Cook and Buhl Ford co-captained the Junior Varsity hockey team, and Al Popkess led the Junior Varsity football team from the position of quarterback. The Class also boasts the School's woodchopping champion, Fred Lea- vitt, who won his title during the fall term. In the field of mental endeavors three sopho- mores, Kirk Ressler, Quindsland, and Upton, led the school with their high, Honor-'Roll averages. Many boys also devoted themselves to the various extra-curricular activities which Berk- shire offers. The Trail and The Green and Gray received valuable assistance from Andy Berkman, Mike Daly, Bob Lister, and Phil Niklaus, while Chet Currier wrote for the SchooI's literary journal, The Dome. Jim Cain, Rod Miller, Jamie Murray, and Rob Wolcott, among others, lent their voices to the Glee Club. Merritt Lane acted as Assistant Sports Editor, and Hank Davis, Stan Fisher, Cliff Marek, Ed Mason, Don Myers, and Al Sher- man were reporters for the Press Club. Larry Lanier was elected vice-president of the Radio Club and also headed the ham radio section. As is evident, the Class of 1962 is a versa- tile one, a class that exemplifies the Berkshire tradition of widely competent students. The Class of 1963 ri Q 1.

This year's freshman class consists of about fifty students and is active academically and athletically. During the fall term Hawley Chester, Pete Harrison and Harry Salo were members of the Junior Varsity football team, while Bill Good- ridge, Bruce Reynolds and Chat Wetherill started on the Third Team lineup. On the Junior Varsity soccer team two freshmen par- ticipated, Peter lnce, as captain, and Eric Soyland. During the winter term Chat Weth- erill was the top ski-jumper and a member of the Varsity ski team, which has been most successful this year. Three freshmen, Pete Dolby, Burdette Loomis, and Rich Wieland, started on the Jun- ior Varsity basketball team, while on the Third basketball team Ray Garrison, co-captain, Bob Pugatch, co-captain, and George Charmichael had starting positions. Hawley Chester, Pete Harrison and Harry Salo helped bring the Junior Varsity hockey team through a vic- torious season, and Tom lnce, Steve Kenna, and Clarik Whittier played onthe Third hockey team. Eric Soyland and Steve Tise organized a Varsity golf team, which is indicative of the initiative as well as of the athletic and scho- lastic ability of the freshman class. Students with consistently high academic averages were George Carmichael, Marc Har- witt, Steve Kenna, Bob Pugatch and Rich Wieland, Late in the fall term Peter lnce, John Gil- lespie, and Peter Harrison were elected presi- dent, vice-president and secretary ofthe Class, respectively. Dave Duffy was very active in the Press Club and had leading roles in the Dramatics CIub's productions. During this past year the freshman class has shown great ability in athletics and aca- demics, and promises to contribute much to Berkshire in the coming years.

The paper appears tri-weekly, although this formula is sometimes varied so that issues can appear on Parents' Day and at the end of each term. The Green and Gray has a total circulation of 600, of which some fifty copies are sent to newspapers of other schools as part of a program designed to promote the ex- change of ideas about format and technique. In addition to other schools and the School community itself, copies of The Green and Gray are sent to the parents of all Berkshire students and to all trustees.

A consistent favorite with the student body, the editorial page was a particular high- light of each edition of The Green and Grey this year. The Nebbish-like characters which inhabit the world of cartoonist Tony Gold- schmidt appeared in each issue, and Milo Fol- ley's humorous essays have made an impact as far away as the Soviet Union. In addition to the editorial column, the current affairs column written by Bill Matthews added a more serious touch to the editorial page. In addition to regular coverage of all the School's teams and game scores, sports editor Dave Edson's re-gular column, Sifdelines, could be found on the sports page. Articles of spe- cial interest, such as the Senior Poll and the Men of Distinction column, added to the regu- lar features and news articles to round out the content of each edition of The Green and Gray.

The Trail distributes 260 copies of the an- nual to the School community, trustees, and friends of the school. It is published by H. G. Roebuck and Son, Inc., of Baltimore, Mary- land. Credit for typing should be extended to Ross Bryon, Topper Crane, and Steve Zucker- man. George Carmichael, Jim Ince, and Bill Matthews acted as reporters, along with John Roy, Mac Simpson, and Todd Spofford. Joe Upton also added his colorful prose style to the pages of The Trail.

Ably handling the post of president was John Roy, with Andy Fried as vice-president, Dave Edson as secretary, and Ken Fox as treasurer. All did outstandingly in their ad- ministrative duties throughout the year. Besides singing at Sunday Chapel every week, the Club gave concerts at both dances of the Fall Term, much to the delight of the young ladies of Miss Hall's and Emma Wil- lard. The Club also recorded several Christ- mas selections for Radio Station WSBS, these were broadcast during the Christmas holidays. In May the Club upheld a long-standing tradition by singing at a service of St. James Church, Great Barrington, Massachusetts. lts program included, among other spirituals, Thanks be to Thee, O Lord and the moving Madame Jeanette. The Club wound up the year with its annual banquet, at which Mr. Beattie spoke and then announced the names of the officers for the next year. . . , AQ Much credit must -be given to the Seniors who volunteered their fine voices for solo parts. Ken Fox, Andy Fried, John Roy, Steve Smith, and Todd Spofford undertook these difficult assignments. The Club's repertoire was enhanced by many new members this year. Among the new songs was the Negro spiritual Rock-a- My Soul, the sea chantey We'll Rant and We'll Roar, and the marching song Tiri- tomba. Also, Trumpet Song, Softly and Tenderly, and Raccoon Hunt, were favor- ites. The success of the Glee Club is largely due to the efforts of Mr. Beattie, who spent much time organizing it and arranging its schedule, not to mention the many rehearsals. The Greensleeves are Berkshire's special group of seniors who sing light-hearted songs at dances. This year the Greensleeves' mem- bership totaled fifteen. The group provided much enjoyment by singing in an original and appealing way such old favorites as By the Light of the Silvery Moon, A Pretty Girl is Like a Melody, and A Real Nice Clambake from 'Rodgers and Hammerstein's Carousel. They also were directed by Mr. Beattie. The Greensleeves The Dramatics Club L +'!l??i- an i r Q ' Q K i ' ' First Row: Bokum, Ford, E., Bryon, Wesson, Fox, Mowry, Warrener, Polak, Denker, Newton.

Russell, Hemelrighr, Morton, Jones, Klingenstein, Simpson, Oldham, Collins, Bush, 70 the Dramatics Officers o Club Mowry Fox Wesson The Dramatics Club presented an excep- tionally varied group of plays this year. Of the four productions, three of them, consisting of one-Oct plays, were presented at the end of the fall term, and the fourth, a three-act play, was presented at the beginning of the spring term. The first one-act play of the fall term was a dramatization of the classic short story, The Monkey's Paw. Mike Walker, Dave Duffy, Ken Fox, and Minty Bourbon held lead- ing roles in this play. The second, a grotesque comedy, was suc- cessful. Entitled Minnie Field, it depicted a group of farmers talking with a friend, also a farmer, about his wife and her very recent death. The presence of the wife's coffin on the set added a touch of the macabre. The farmers were Don Myers, as the widower, Bob Bokum, John Goodhue, and Bob Spencer. The third and lost one-act play of this group was entitled The Valiant, the account of a condemned convict who, in order to spare his family grief, will not tell anyone his true identity. Starring in this play were Ross Bryon as the convict, Dave Smith as the prison war- den, Smith Mowry as the prison chaplain, and Jeff Denker as the convict's long-lost sister. The spring play, entitled Deadwood Dick, was a rootin' tootin' three-act melo- drama of the Old West. In this satirical pro- duction, Ross Bryon, Minty Bourbon, Dave Duffy, Emory Ford, Bill Klingenstein, Bob Lentz, Tony Nuland, Mike Walker, and Max Wesson took important roles. Much credit for the success of these pre- sentations is due Mr. Durham and Mr. Hall. whose hard work and very able direction were determining factors, and to Mrs. Bray and Mrs. Putnam for their expert help with make- up. As in every stage production, much de- pends on the hardworking and often unsung stage crew under the direction of Mr. Weth- erill and Manager Hass Warrener. For this past school year Ken Fox, Smith Mowry, and Max Wesson served in the offices of president, vice-president and secretary, re- spectively. l The Press Club I E First Row: Berkman, Duffy, Pugatch, McNeill, Anderson, J., Graves, Fisher.

With more than fifty boys aiding the cause, the Berkshire School Press Club was started quickly and efficiently again. Under Don Polak as president, supported by Ken Fox as vice-president, and Joe Salembier as secre- tary-and, of course, Faculty Advisor Mrs. Stewart, the Club was reorganized by divisions into three distinct sections. The Sports Section, headed by Don Polak, supplied many radio stations and local and national newspapers with sports scores and highlights of games. incidentally, this system has permitted the School to find out the results of away games before the teams return to Sheffield. The second section, the General Assign- ment Department, produces all the articles concerning events at the School, welds them into a weekly column, and sends this column out to four newspapers and the local radio station, WSBS, Steve Jenks is in charge of this department. The third section, Home-Town, is headed by Bill Matthews, and releases articles to hometown papers of boys who accomplish some outstanding academic, athletic, or extra- curricular achievement. Besides these, the Press Club serves many other useful purposes. First, a large number and variety of people learn of the School and hear of its activities through the Press Club's work. Secondly, the Press Club gives the Berk- shire student a first-hand chance to learn journalism. Once a month the Home-Town Section arranges for a speaker to address the Club on this subject. The Berkshire School Press Club is made up of and exists for boys who want to work, to learn, and to help Berkshire. 1 f . .1 5 itil The Dance Committee First Row: O'Hara, Bradley, Pyle. Second Row: Mayher, Richards, Edson. The function of the Dance Committee is the programming of dances with girls' schools in the area. It not only schedules these dances, but arranges for the transportation of either the girls or the Berkshire students depending upon where the dance is to be held, and also the music and decorations. This year all the members of the Com- mittee, Dave Edson, Bill -Mayher, Pete O'Hara, Dave Pyle, Bill Richards, President Rich Brad- ley, and Mr. Beattie, the faculty advisor, have worked hard, and the fruits of their work have been enjoyed by most of the student body. Mrs. Vining deserves special Commendation for her unselfish and zealous help with the decorations for this year's dances. During the school year Berkshire held dances with Miss HaIl's, Emma Willard, Ethel 'WaIker, and Foxhollow. Two of these dances, those with Emma Willard and Foxhollow, were Glee Club dances. With Miss HaIl's the School held separate freshman-sophomore and junior-senior dances. The last year has been exceptionally suc- cessful for the Dance Committee, and the whole School is grateful to its members and to Mr. Beattie for providing such occasions, which are pleasant and important parts of preparatory-school life.

Varsity Football The l959 Berkshire team, captained by Hugh Weidinger, opened the season with a small and inexperienced squad. There was much skepticism as to whether Coaches Guth- ridge and Leeds could put together a winning club with only five returning starters from last year's team. Berkshire opened the season in an away game against Salisbury. The Wildcats soundly tromped the Redmen of Salisbury, 26 to O. This game showed the team's great potential. ln the backfield the speed was supplied by Captain Weidinger, who scored on a fifty-yard punt return. The power was supplied by Steve Williams, a new member of the squad, and by the sleight-of-hand tricks executed by quarter- back Pete Ware. The Berkshire defense showed its worth by holding Salisbury score- less. The next week Berkshire remained at home to take on Lenox before the largest Parents' Day crowd in the School's history. Berkshire started the game full of confidence, and the play was excellent. The Greenmen outdid a weak Lenox squad, and when the score was tallied, Berkshire had won 6l to O. Berkshire then faced a strong Kingswood squad on a muddy field. The game was close right down to the final whistle, but, in the end, the score showed that Berkshire had suffered its first defeat, 8 to 6. Mud, which proved to be a hindrance during the game, later on proved to be the nemesis of the Berkshire gridders. The following Saturday Berkshire travelled to New Milford, Connecticut, where it was op- posed by a strong Canterbury squad. This game was also played in deep mud and pour- ing rain. Canterbury, the more experienced team, beat Berkshire, 38 to 8. Lee Comfort, the fast halfback from Canterbury, scored three times, an achievement which was too much for Berkshire. The final away game of the season was .-gs-, . K ,f - M,.m3 N-.g , -ft,-'-,Q'rgKf-.25-.' 1, of ,. fifff ' ' - . TG' I 1 Qi' x 'Leg . M I J T, , I v n 5:1 f . ' T y, T ia T 2 l .

Since Berkshire couldn't get its footing, it lost the game, 22 to O. With the Headmaster's Trophy at stake the Berkshire squad went into its next game against Gunnery with great determination. Although rain poured down on both teams, Berkshire overcame an early eight-point defi- cit to beat the visiting team, l4 to 8. The Gunnery game ended the season for Berkshire with a 3-3 record.

Oftentimes Berk- shire held its opponents inside its five-yard line. Next year's co-captains, Ed Hunt and Don Goodrich, will have a tough job, for only three of the starting eleven will return. The coaches feel, however, that with some Jayvee prospects another winning season will be produced. Williams fades for a pass. 1 lt'lI take some fancy footwork!

Varsity Soccer Returning for a second year under Coach .lack Stewart, the eleven veterans of the l958 season joined forces with seven newcomers to begin the l959 campaign. Under the leader- ship of co-captains Bill Mayher and Bill Rich- ards, the Green and Gray boaters started aff with a disheartening l to l deadlock with Windsor Mountain. With the experience ofa good game under their belts and of having played formally to- gether, the Big Green travelled to Lenox to score its first victory of the season. The win- ners were sparked by Russ Strasburger at half- back, Bill Mayher on the line, and rookie Dave Rogers in the Green's nets. After being beaten soundly by a competent Trinity-Pawling squad, 5 to l, the Wildcats nosed out the Taft eleven in the last minutes of play to cop their first victory over Taft in six years. Wayne Russell and Bill Richards took scaring honors and led their team in its most spirited performance of the season. Before an enthusiastic Parents' Day crowd the Varsity boaters fell prey to a sharp Hotch- kiss team by losing to them in a hard-fought, 5 to O battle. In their next contest Joe Upton scored on a Red mistake, with forty seconds remaining, to give the Wildcats a 3 to 2 vic- tory over Kingswood. Playing in the pouring rain, the Berkshire eleven wallowed their way to a 3 to l victory over Salisbury. The following Tuesday the team captured its second tie of the season in a 2 to 2 thriller against an underrated Darrow squad. Oran Kelly, the Darrow backstop, sparked the Darrawites by making 48 saves against one goal, until Bill Richards scored in the last quarter to save Berkshire from its third defeat. The Green hit a streak of bad luck by dropping its next two contests to Gunnery and Kent by scores of 3 to l and 6 to 3, respec- tively. Though they lost, the Wildcats exhib- ited fine and commendable sportsmanship, coupled with the intent desire to win. As a result of this drive and desire to win, uni- Captain Mayher, Coach Stewart, Captain Richards. Soccer ballet the Green posted its fifth victory against four defeats the following week by upsetting Can- terbury, 2 to l. Backboned by an ambitious group of seniors about to participate in their last game, the team moved to Cranwell, where it blanked its adversaries, 8 to O, in what was perhaps its best game of the season. The final record stood at 6-4-2. At the fall sports banquet George Beebe was presented the Francis Lee Jackson Trophy for greatest improvement during the season, and Tony Nuland and Fred Nagel were named next year's co-captains. No account of the l959 soccer season could be complete without o tribute to the excellent coaching of Mr. Stewart.

With many underclassmen returning and with several promising players who starred on the J.

Junior Varsity Football The 1959 Junior Varsity football team, coached by Messrs. Semler and Thompson, ended its season with a record of two wins, three losses, and one tie. Under the leadership of Captain Davie Pyle, the Junior Varsity team tied a strong Salisbury aggregation in an exceptionally hard-fought contest. The final score was 12 to 12. The following week saw Canterbury take a close game from Berkshire by a score of 18 to 14. The Green tallies were made by Al Popkess and Ed Herrington. Berkshire then travelled to South Kent, and defeated its hosts, 28 to 22, with Captain Pyle scoring three touchdowns. The Wildcats next went to Housatonic Regional High School and soundly defeated their adversaries by a score of 21 to O. On November 13 Berkshire played Westminster on its own field, and lost, 8 to 2, in bad weather which hampered both teams. The final game of the season was played against The Gunnery's strong team, and Berk- shire was defeated 12 to O. With the valu- able experience gained during this past season the 1959 Jayvees should be a great asset to the 1960 Varsity squad. Junior Varsity Soccer The Junior Varsity soccer team this year had an unsuccessful record of one win, six losses, and two ties, compared with last year's almost undefeated team. Although this per- formance was disappointing, Berkshire did put in eleven of the twenty-five goals scored in the nine games, never losing by more than two points. The J, V.'s opened the season on a cloud- less day against Varsity opposition, the Mount Everett Regional high school team, Berkshire lost, 2 to O. Trinity-Pawling was the next to storm Berkshire by a score of 2 to l. Jim Anderson was the single scorer for the Green. In the next game Dave Fawcett led the Berk- shire squad against Canterbury as a result ofa solo scoring effort in the closing minutes. Soon afterwards Berkshire again dropped a game to Salisbury on a muddy and rainy day. Berkshire improved in its next game and second try with Mount Everett, tying its op- ponents, 4 to 4. lEric Soyland and Roy Thurs- ton both bagged goals, and Jim Anderson booted in two. Then against a fast-passing Taft team, Berkshire did commendably well by losing only l to O. Later, Berkshire was again defeated by Gunnery, l to O. ln spite of all these discouragements, the spirit was unusually high, partly because of the team's coach, Mr. Vining, who constantly encouraged the team and gave able assistance. The whole team feels it had a good if not a winning season.

Anderson and Bray, the third football team, although unable to compile a winning record, maintained its high spirits and cooperation throughout a dis- couraging season. Despite its O-6 record, which does not properly reflect the effort that both coaches and all the players put forth, several fine players who should lend valuable assistance to the J. V. and Varsity squads in the next few years were developed, among them Morfit, Niklaus, and Wetherill. Captain Garry Morfit led the team by scoring twelve points and gaining seven hun- dred and fifty yards. Chat Wetherill also scored two touchdowns, and Bruce Reynolds scored one. From left to right end, the start- ing line consisted of Morfit, Magee, lMarek, Goodridge, Denker, Ressler, K., and Niklaus. Mr. Anderson developed his offense around the strong and accurate passing arm of Pete Sammis. Berkshire gained most of its yardage through the air, with Sammis and Morfit teaming up to produce many spectacu- lar plays.

Trail Squad This yeor's Trail Squad was smaller than last year's group. Sixteen boys from the vari- ous classes worked together, however, to accomplish the work of many. The job done by this small group of 'boys has been appreci- ated by the students who use the numerous ski trails. The Trail Squad cleared fallen trees and other obstacles from the trails, put the ski tow into working order, and removed a large tree from the present site of the Rovensky Field House. In addition, the Squad cleared all the debris from the area around the swim- ming pool. As the climax to the Trail Squad's season, the annual chopping contest was held on the football field. Fred Leavitt won the heavy- weight contest, and John Gillespie won in the lightweight class. Jim Worthington and Gary Graves were, respectively, runners-up in the heavyweight and lightweight divisions. Thus the 1959 Trail Squad's season came to a close with many projects successfully completed.

Varsity Hockey With five returning lettermen and eight newcomers donning the Wildcat uniform, the Berkshire Varsity hockey squad began its Tri- State League title defense and its .attempt to retire the trophy against The Gunnery. After a slow start the Wildcats came on strong to tie the game with two quick goals in the final period. The Gunners proved to be stronger, however, and lit the lamp in overtime to squeak out a tight victory, 4 to 3. Four to three again proved to be the mar- gin of defeat as Salisbury overcame Berkshire on home ice. Following this the pucksters drove home twelve tallies as they dumped Canterbury, l2 to 7, for their first win. ln this game Mayher broke the School's single- game scoring record with six goals and four assists, for ten points. In an extra period the Green lost a close game to Trinity-Pawling, 6 to 5. This loss was followed by a return victory over Canterbury at home. ln the next game the Wildcats shut out Millbrook, 4 to O. Again the difference of one goal gave Trinity-Pawling a 5 to 4 victory in a return game. Berkshire also lost another one-goal game to Salisbury, 3 to 2. ln a return game with The Gunnery weak goal-tending in the Green nets let victory escape, 7 to 5. The last goal was slapped into an open net when the Berkshire team at- tempted a six-man power play. February l4 marked the first game played in the Mae Cadwell Rovensky Memorial Field House. The Green skaters were pitted against a fast Kent team, which won, 6 to l. After scoring in the first thirty seconds of the game, Benkshire was unable to effect a serious of- fensive thrust. Playing under the lights again, the Wildcats met the Lenox Bumblebees and were defeated, 4 to 3. This was the first FIRST TEAM P.l.

In the last period a tally by Powers tied the game. The goal was nullified, however, by an alert judge's revision. Travelling to Watertown, Connecticut, the team took a lO to O pasting from a flying Taft sextet. This Taft team is considered by many to be one of the top Northeastern teams, and its quality quickly became ap- parent as Taft scored consecutively in all three periods. A win over non-league Westerfield high school was followed by a 6 to 3 loss to Westminster, whose team will join the Tri- State League next year. ln this additional game Boom Boom Mayher broke the School's individual scoring record of thirty- four points, set by Sammy Nichols in 1958. Mayher's individual output was twenty-four goals and fourteen assists, for a total of thirty- eight points. The season was terminated in the cage by a 6 to 3 loss to Cathedral high school of Springfield, Massachusetts, a top contender in New England hockey. 35 O. -. . . N1 .

Varsity Basketball The Big Green Varsity basketball team had a reasonably good record of eight wins, eight losses. ln league play the team scored 5-7 for a fourth-place finish, the best in some time. The team was young and inexperienced at the start because of graduated seniors and non-returning lettermen, but as the year pro- gressed, Coach Thompson molded a well bal- anced and sometimes spectacular team. Cal- lowness showed at the beginning of the year in poor shooting and judgement, but after rising to its highest point in the Trinity-Paw- ling game the team managed to shake many of its defects. The team was formed around a nucleus of two lettermen, Captain Bradley and Bob Field. The latter was high scorer with 25l points. Filling the other positions were Steve Williams, second high scorer, Mike Little, Tim O'Day, and Al Popkess. These starters were backed up by a strong and spirited sec- ond team composed of Hank Davis, Cliff Greenwood, Luke Haran, and Steve Trick- knee Jenks. A brief recapitulation of the season by games shows the team winning its opener against Salisbury, 39 to 26, and Field high scorer with twenty-one points. The second game was a league contest against Taft, and turned into a tight defensive battle, with Berkshire on the short end, 34 to 38. Hotch- kiss followed Taft and took advantage of Berkshire's l9.8Wp shooting to post a 64 to 25 victory. This game was a good example of inexperience vs. team balance, and proba- bly provided the impetus that finally moved the team to action.

The winning streak over Lenox, Kent, and Millbrook culminated in the stunning defeat of Trinity- Pawling, which had not been beaten by Berk- shire in four years. In this game Berkshire opened with a startling 28-point first period and then coasted to victory with a 70 to 63 win. Leading the scorers were Field and Wil- liams, who had nineteen and sixteen points, respectively. This game was the high point of the season for the squad, but was followed by three consecutive defeats-by Hotchkiss, Taft, and Canterbury. Next, Kent faced Berkshire, which boast- ed its first win of a home game. Although quite depressed both mentally and physically, the team met and defeated Kent, 58 to 49. lt was a hard fought game on both sides, and foul shots became an important factor.

After a non-league loss to Westminster the team met Trinity-Pawling at Berkshire and won in the last thirty seconds, 61 to 58. This was the second double win in the league, the re- sult of fierce rebounding and a strong tearn effort.- Playing at home against The Gunnery, three points again proved to be the margin of victory, but this time it was reversed for Berk- shire, 42 to 45. This score showed the pro- gress the Green had made during the season, for this same Gunnery team had beaten Berk- shire by eighteen points in the first meeting. For the finale the team traveled to Can- terbury, where a .500 season was in the bal- ance. Determined to do it, they triumphed, 62 to 55, Bob Field capping the scoring hon- ors with a 26-point total. This was a fitting victory over a team which had humbled the Green earlier in the year. .EE li - il . v- .1 I l 'nf N What's going on up there? 97 .635 l E 3 X 5 ,, 34 2 5 QM Two shots, boys, Get Off my back!

Only a few letter- men returned to form the nucleus of the team. The rest of the team was composed of inex- perienced wrestlers who worked hard to learn the intricacies af the sport. ln spite of these misfortunes the team gained experience and improved greatly, As evidence of this fact Berkshire lost to Gunnery 28 to 6, in the opening match of the season, but managed to close the gap to a four-point deficit in a return contest. After the first match the wrestlers met Trinity-Pawling, and Captain Schmidt and Walt Wilson pinned their men. Pete Kellogg and Jay Odell both won their matches, to add to the team score. Because of inexper- ience Berkshire lost to Trinity-Pawling by a 21-to-l6 score. The Berkshire team then travelled to Wooster Academy, where Pete Kellogg pinned his man in the third period and Walt Wilson won on points, The Wooster men collected the other points, to win the match, 31 to 8. The Kent matmen played host to Berk- shire the following week, and Kent, always a strong wrestling school, won by a 30 to l4 Score. Ten of the thirty points for Kent came, however, as Berkshire was forced to default the l77 and unlimited-pound divisions. Bob Pike, Eric Schmidt, and Walt Wilson won their matches on points, and Pete Kellogg pinned his opponent for the Berkshire scores. Berkshire met Darrow the following week, with Odell, Pike, Schmidt, and Wilson gaining points for the Berkshire team. lnexperience in the upper divisions was the cause of Berk- shire's defeat, 25 to l8. February l3 was an unlucky day for the Berkshire wrestlers, for a strong Kingswood squad toppled Berkshire, 4l to 5. Co-Captain Schmidt scored the only Berkshire victory by pinning his opponent in the last period of his match. ln the toughest match of the season the Berkshire wrestlers fought extremely well against a very strong Taft team, but could not gain any team points. The resulting score of 42 to O saw Taft the victors. Berkshire then travelled to Salisbury School, where through hard work and exper- ience gained in previous matches, the team triumphed, 46 to 8. Berkshire gained eight pins during the match, many of them in the first period. What do l do now, Coach?

Varsity Skiing ALPINE TEAM ln its best season in several years the ski team raced its way to a six-win and two-loss record. Under the intense coaching of Mr. Guthridge, the potential ability latent in several of the previously inexperienced skiers was developed and combined to form a highly successful squad. Perhaps the most notable improvement was made by Andy Lincoln who, largely through independent practice, came from a relatively low position on last year's team to a consistently high place in this year's racing schedule, and won three downhill events. T. D. McCormick and Gerry Michaud, true to expectations, performed commendably both in downhill and slalom. The team was seriously hampered, how- ever, by the loss of Don Goodrich who, after winning four of six events in the first three meets and setting a new downhill record, suf- fered an injury which prevented his racing for the remainder of the season. Having ex- ercised regularly, Don was able to ski at the close of the season, and in recognition of his superior ability and his capacity for leader- ship, he was elected captain of next year's team. Newcomer Chat Wetherill, having skied against Berkshire last year for Indian Moun- tain, promises to be a great asset to the team in view of his fine showing this year as a freshman, particularly in the jumping event. NORDIC TEAM Starting virtually from scratch, the jump- ing and cross-country teams progressed well, with Chat Wetherill placing first in a jumping contest at Salisbury, and Tony Nuland taking second in a cross-country meet with Hotchkiss. Mr. Wetherill, Chat's father, worked with these two teams and coached them in basic techniques. ln contrast to last year's lack of snow, which prevented the team from holding more than a single meet, snow conditions, particu- larly toward the latter part of the season, were consistently stable and allowed the skiers to practice steadily and race regularly.

Junior Varsity Hockey Coached by Mr. Bray, this year's Junior Varsity hockey team, having compiled a 6-4 record, completed one of its most successful seasons in recent years. Led by co-Captains Biff Cook and Buhl Ford, the Berkshire Jay- vees placed second in their league. ln the scoring department George Beebe paced the team with nine goals and five as- sists for nineteen points Can assist counting two pointsl. Right behind George were his fellow first-liners, Ford and Wayne Russell, who accumulated fourteen and eighteen points, respectively. Stu Marsh was the main- stay of the second line, with a total of ten points. After dropping two games to Canterbury and Salisbury, the Green seconds picked up their first win of the season by ramping to victory over Trinity-Pawling, lO to l. Beebe, Ford, and Russell spearheaded the Green at- tack by scoring a total of six goals, two apiece. Several weeks later, in the return game, the Green succeeded in again defeating the Trinity-Pawling pucksters, this time by a score 4 of 3 to O. Then Berkshire avenged its earlier defeat by upsetting the Canterbury league cham- pions, 3 to l, a feat which was followed by a victory over Millbrook, 4 to l. The next week the squad played what was considered by many spectators its best game, when it overcame a strong Salisbury team in overtime, Especially evident in this game were the team's high spirit and deter- mination to win, since it was the first squad to play in the new indoor rink. By working as a well coordinated unit and executing many successful plays, the team showed the great improvement which it had made since the start of the season. The Jayvees ended their season by losing to superior Kent and Taft squads by scores of 4 to O, and l4 to l, respectively. Many of this year's players, among them Beebe, Cook, Ford, Russell, and Upton, filling vacan- cies left by graduation, will greatly strengthen next year's Varsity. Junior Varsity Basketball On Saturday, March 5, the Junior Varsity basketball team ended its season with a 59 to 46 loss to Canterbury. This contest com- pleted a disappointing 2-l4 record. Richard Wieland sank 58 baskets and 3l free throws for a total of l47 points, averaging l2lA points per game. Under Head Coach James Law and Captain Ed Herrington, the Sheffield quintet suffered many hard fought losses. The Green team began the season with a low-scoring victory over Salisbury, 20 to l7. The sauad was hampered in its remaining games by the loss of left guard Cliff Marek, who broke his wrist in a skating accident. The Green was trounced in its next two starts bv Taft and Hotchkiss, 5l to 32, and 44 to 27, respectively. Lenox beat Berkshire in a tight game, 42 to 40. The Gunnery toppled the Jayvee team, 56 to 49. Berkshire snapped its losing streak with the second victory of the year, soundly beating Millbrook, 55 to 36. The team's good fortune First Row: Loomis, Reynolds. Herrington Ccaptaini, Goodridge, land, Bulkley, Hoidok, D., Dolby, Coach Law. didn't last, for it dropped its fifth game to Kent, 66 to 30. The downward slide con- tinued with a defeat suffered at the hands of Trinity-Pawling, 44 to 22. This game ended the first half of the season. The Jayvees opened the latter part of their schedule by losing, 49 to 28, to a strong Hotch- kiss five. Berkshire lessened the margin of the previous Taft contest bv ten points, but still lost bv the score of 49 to 43. Canterbury came to Sheffield and beat the home squad, 44 to 36. The tenth loss of the year was regis- tered bv Kent, which defeated Berkshire, 47 to 36. ln a non-leaaue contest the Green team lost to a superior Westminster squad, 42 to 34. Trinity-Pawlinq was nearly taken by the Green team, but the Pawlys managed to re- cover in the last few minutes of the game by controlling the backboards. The final score was 47 to 40. The Berkshire team was next beaten by The Gunnery, 46 to 32. Ellwood, Second Row: Polak, Gibson, Foley, lncc, P., Wic- 105 Third Team Hockey Unfortunately, this year the third hockey team had to cancel eleven of its scheduled games. lt did, however, play four games, of which two resulted in losses and two were ties. But records do not entirely reveal the progress of the team as a unit, Berkshire's third team had an unusually large supply of energy and enthusiasm. The starting line-up of Fred Nagel, center, Rob Wolcott, left wing, Jamie Murray, right wing, and in the defensive positions Bob Bo- kum, Dave Hemelright, and Mac Simpson al- ternated. The goal was tended by Clark Whittier, who, although inexperienced, proved himself worthy of praise, and established him- self as a very promising goal-tender. The ice conditions were bad this year in comparison with past years, but this fact did not seriously diminish the team's effort. lt was distinguished by being the first on the ice to clear it of snow, and was made up of con- The first game was played at Salisbury, where the scoring was opened by center Nagel. Berkshire was scored upon twice and, since the teams were very evenly matched, the game ended in a tie. The next contest was played against Mill- proved to be too brook, whose opposition strong for Berkshire, but served to rouse the team's already high spirit. With Wolcott scor- ing Ber'kshire's only goal, the team lost by a score of 3 to l. ln a return match with Salis- bury, which had greatly improved over the previous game, Berkshire lost 3 to 2. The goals were scored by Fred Nagel and Rob Wolcott. The team's last game of the scanty season, against Rumsey Hall, resulted in a tie 2 to 2. Rumsey HalI's team scored early upon the Berkshire squad, but during the rest of the game the goals were scored alternately. Berk- shire's two goals were scored by Rob Wolcott and Steve Kenna. sistently willing workers. First Row: Hemelright, Lanier, Hand, Swift, Whittier, Grace, J., Kenna, lnce, T., Berkman.

Third Team Basketball The third basketball team's performance this year was much improved over last year's. Much of this was due to the able coaching of Hugh Weidinger, a senior. Last year's team played only four games and lost all of them. Although the record this year was not impres- sive, the number of games played was in- creased from four to eleven, of which the team won three. However meager this performance may seem, it is still a considerable improve- ment. The starting team consisted of three fresh- men, George Carmichael, Ray Garrison, and Bob Pugatch, and two sophomores, Richard Carlson and Chet Currier. Bob Pugatch, one of the guards and high scorers during the season, averaged twelve points per game and scored a total of l3O of the 329 points earned by the team as a whole. Bob's set-shots were a great help in narrowing the defeat in many games, and in some cases brought the team to victory. Ray Garrison, a forward, scored sixty-five points, bringing him to the position of second highest scorer on the team. Ray developed a two-hand set shot which was accurate from the same position eight times in one game. In the game with Canterbury, which the Green won in overtime, scoring was fairly evenly distributed among the team. To give Berkshire the winning two points, Ray Garri- son sank a lay-up, clinching the game 27 to 25. The Green won the following game with Salisbury, 31 to 25, in this game Pugatch was high scorer with fourteen points. After suf- fering three defeats Berkshire won over Lenox by a score of 36 to 21. At the end of the first half of this game the score was 28 to 7 in favor of Berkshire. Although Coach Weidinger graduates this year and thus the team will need a new coach, there is much hope for a successful season.

Varsity Track This year's track squad is lacking in ex- perience, for it has only seven returning let- termen. The coming season will be basically a building year because nine of last year's lettermen graduated. Despite this handicap, the team is very enthusiastic, and boasts many hard-working individuals. Some of the outstanding upcomers are John Goodhue, Tom Hanson and Tony Nu- land, all running the mile. As for the pole vault Dick Meystre is a promising new junior in that event. Mel Grover, Ed Herrington, and Jerry Langham are the hopefuls in the sprints. The returning lettermen, expected to be the backbone of the team, will set the pace for the rest ot the trackmen. ln the l2O low hurdles Pete Ware will undoubtedly add to his last year's honors. As for the lOO-yard dash Bill Richards and Hugh Weidinger will again prove valu- able in the coming meets. Richards will also be expected to run the 220 and the 440- yard dashes, making him a triple threat. ln the 880-yard dash Dave Edson will be the only contender. Tom Hanson, Smith Mowry, and Tony Nu- land will provide strong competition against other schools for the mile. Steve Jenks, a senior, is Berkshire's hope for the high jump, in which last year he missed breaking the School's record by half an inch. This year he has high hopes of bettering this mark. Pete Ware, a newcomer in the discus last year, will prove to be an even stronger hurler this year. Dick Morton will accom- pany Pete- in the javelin event. ln the shot and hammer events Mike Little, Dick Morton, and Steve Zuckerman are expected to be great assets to the team. Coach Myers, who is very pleased with his young and enthusiastic track squad, will be satisfied with a .500 season. l08 X Q Ll. Anyone for harpooning whales?

On assuming the full coaching responsibility this year Mr. Leeds commented that the loss of last year's entire infield, with the exception of Ed Hunt, was a painful blow to the team's defensive ability. He added, however, that the able performance of last year's promoted Jayvees, plus the formidable pitching trio of Rich Bradley, Cliff Greenwood, and Russ Stras- burger, should make up for the thin defense and enable the team to end its season with a commendable record. The offensive pic- ture is dominated by the strong bats of Cap- tain Todd Spofford and newcomer Steve Williams. Among the returning lettermen this year are Rich Bradley, Andy Fried, Ed Hunt, Cap- tain Spofford, and Russ Strasburger. Because of the strong competition from the newcom- ers the starting lineup is still indefinite. Competing for positions are Spofford, Will- iams-catcher, Fried, Oldham, Polak-first base, Granger, McCormick, Powers-second base, Hunt, Spofford-shortstop, Allen, Hunt, Lister-third base, Bradley, Fried, Marsh, O'Day-outfield. Even though the lineup is in doubt at present, the possibilities suggest a strong team. Captain Spofford feels that with the strong outfield, the able pitching staff, and the great versatility of the players, the l96O batmen should better the 5-9 record of last year's squad. llO You tell him, Andy! A tense moment A herd hit ball to right Ill First Row: Sommis, Pyle tcaptainl, Grace, L. Second Row: Crane, Upton, Solembier, Coach Bray, Boyd. Varsity Tennis A preview of the i960 season should in- clude a brief analysis of the team, for not one Varsity member from last year's team was lost to graduation. The two-time captain, David Pyle, who played a very important part in last year's season, should make great contributions to the success of the team. Whether Dave is on the courts as squad member or captain, his importance to the team will be measured in both leadership and ability. Joe Solembier, another senior who won the tennis trophy for sportsmanship last year, will be a strong threat as number-three man. A strong pair of juniors, Leonard Grace and Pete Sammis, have gained in three years the needed temperament and maturity to form a strong one-two combination on the ladder. Steve Boyd and Joe Upton, from the sophomore class, should fill the four and five positions and will be pushed by Andy Berk- man, who will also be hoping to secure a position on the squad. Last year's record was indicative of youth, and the season ended with the disappointing record of 5-6. All was not so forlorn, how-- ever, for the team showed great improvement in the course of the season. With a full and demanding schedule ahead of it, the team's tactics will obviously decide the season. With this in mind and with experience again avail- able as in the undefeated season of l957, Coach Bray has good reason to look forward to a successful year for his men on the clay. lt's Lenny on the ball.
