CINCINNATI COUNTRY DAY SCHOOL 6905 GIVEN ROAD 0 CINCINNATI 43. OHIO HERBERT M. DAVISON HEADMASTER Departing from the usual practice of dedicating the ARCHIVE to on individual, the editors asked that this year's issue be introduced by a letter From the Headmaster. With Full appreciation of the editorsl intent, butwith a strong Feeling of admiration and affection for G certain image, I present to you the Country Day Boy. This image is the Boy who long since left the School. He is an in- terpreter at the World's Fair, captain and owner ofc coastal tug, editor of a national newspaper, donor of his life in his country's service, railroad vice-president, captain of a nuclear submarine, congressman, missionary, doctor, lawyer, teacher, minister, author, engineer, salesman, banker, artist, scientist. This image also includes those still in the classroom and on the playing fields: the student who is more interested in a broad Foun- dation than in his actual grades; the boy who knows the satisfaction of service, whether it be helping with Lower School sports or volunteer hospital work; the boy who respects authority but is quick to offer his own honest and differing opinion; the boy who wears the School insignia with quiet pride, be it a varsity letter or the Country Day Award. These are a Few of the many qualities that form the image of the Country Day Boy. To him now, and to the generations of others before him, may this issue of the ARCHIVE be dedicated. wm 12W THE AR CH1 VE 1963 CINCINNA TI COUNTRTDATSCHOOL C 0N TEN TS Tea in Review ........................

Indeed, it was like every other year in that no one was hysterically happy to be back. In other respects the year seemed different al- ready, for many changes were apparent at the outset. The population explosionflattened Country Day with a record 511 students, an increase which led to the ap- pointment of a school Business Manager. Mr. Deane was off for a sabbatical at Harvard, and to the Math Club was left the task ofwinning the state contest with-v out him. For this purpose a mathletics classwas formed, headed by Dave Adamson and several other seniors. New courses were added to the curriculum in an ef- fort to keep Country Day abreast of educational de- velopments and college demands. Mr. Pattison intro- duced his non-European history course, a study of Latin America, China, and Africa. An advanced calculus One way to find out the results of ad- mission in- terviews. Chairs for the auditorium . class began, complying with the needs of a mathe- matical brain trust that had exhausted the courses that the school offered. Finally, a Chemistry-physics course was added for sophomores who want to get a science credit out of the way. Physically, the school had changed considerably. The library, which had long served as a study hall, at last was relieved. Replacing it was a new auditorium with a stage and a seating capacity large enough for the entire School. Of course, nothing ever runs like clockwork, and the new desk chairs did not arrive un- til some time in November, but the study halls oper- ated anyway. Once organized, however, they lacked the student council monitors of past years. Evidently Palmer greets a customer at the Senior booth. Mr. McClarey considers a pur- chase. Flag raising oveI CD. BEAT 1H! Makes one love coats and ties. GO C.D. the faculty felt that a little show of authority was to be golden, and they accordingly took over. Some of the changes brought ptoblems--the seventh graders couldn't find study hall--but in general the first weeks were routine. The Madeira game and C.C.D.S. lunches were depressing, but no more nor less than usual. September passed into October with nothing except a small outbreak of car hot-wiring to pass the time. More important than this intramural happenstance, however, is the fact that the football team picked up seven wins which culminated only in the first loss to Indian Hill in six seasons. The defeat itself was unfortunate, but it undoubtedly left a com- placent ice for the game next year. The football sea- Watson cleans up in math class. son ended, as custom otdains, with the fall sports din- ner. This gathering of the clan was again maIked by the now oh-so-familiar thanks, and the renewed as- surance that the football field would be without lights for at least another year. Autumn, slowly and rather uneventfully,tumed into winter. The last days of October were distinguished by an effort on the part of the senior class to construct a retreat which could somehow take the place of the old senior Shack. The Stage in the gym sufficed for about six weeks-esix weeksof poker, guitars, and cigaIettes. But with the basketball season imminent, the shack was removed, and once more the senior class returned to the library study hall for thrills. Early November saw the Mothers' Association Christmas Sale, 2 scream- ing success again, the only minus side to the affair being the senior'ssandwich booth. Commonly regarded as a financially able group, the seniors slipped up this time, for when it was all over, they found they had spent as much for supplies as they had made on the sale. Another way to raise funds for the senior gift ob- viously had to be discovered. The result was the many Indian Hill game THE MALE ANIMAL sock hops which did so little to break up a monotonous basketball season. The Squad won only four games all year, and as a player remarked, One of those was against a team of eighth-graders. Soccer had a better year, although the weather tried its hardest to oblige us by killing the sport once and for all. Afternoon ale ternated between rain and Snow, and accordingly there were many days when only two or three reluctant die- haxds staggered outside for each team. If the winter athletics program was not everything Country Day would have it be, other events compene sated. During the Thanksgiving recess, a group of stue dents put on the first school play ever done without afficial initiative. THE MALE ANIMAL, by James Thurber, was a strictly student production with the aim of furthering dramatic interest at the school. Another innovation, or possibly reincarnation, was the forma- tion of a Double Quartet after a year's absence. Evi- dently MI. Brush felt he had a group capable of un- usual harmony, or perhaps he felt the Gamboliers weren't the same without a quartet. For whatever rea- son, he started it again. And so, with the year well Fall Sports Dinner . . . a few rules we didn't know we had to make. under way, Chxistmas vacation began at last, thank God, for ten days. Midyear exams were thrust upon the unsuspecting student body just two weeks after vacation was over. Of course no one had anyway of knowing that study time would be greatly increased when bad weather caused two free days. The snow came unexpectedly, in the middle of exams and upset the schedules com- pletely. But it has been said that if you don't like the weather, wait five minutes, and it will change. And so it did. To everyone's disappointment, there were no more free days because of snow. The winter dragged on. It was apparent, by this time, that certain aspects of school life were not as the older students remembered Senior sponsored sock hop Idle ead sles in studio art room. Student gallery them. The most prominent of these changes was the decline of interest in fraternities. These organizau'ons, long the staff of brotherhood at Country Day, did little this yeeu'once the half-hearted pledgeseason was over, for there were few parties and only spurious attempts at charity work. As MI. Yeiser would have it, the duration of fraternities at Country Day is now uncer- tain at best. But if fraternities were on their way out, Study hall in the auditorium there were other things to take their place. The newly formedService Club,1;he school'sPeace Corps, aroused student interest in community work projects, and Saturday mornings found many boys off to an old people's home or Allen House for children. As with anything new anduntried, there is question whether the Service Club always accomplished what it set out to do. However, it is certain that the time spent at the Mrs. Schmidt borrows the gym for her art show.

W Midyear examinations Glass House for old people and at Allen House for foster children on the one hand was well received and on the other hand provided character building ex- perience for certain of the members. A year started in change never seemed to reverse that trend.From the new auditorium to a more modern coke machine, the year has seen many contrasts to previous ones.A fencing club was formed, although its final purpose is undisclosed.A Literary Society, on the order of Cum Laude, was 3.150 organized.

March was marked by a frantic production of Mr. Roberts. Actually, only the reh hearsals were frantic, for the end result was very good. But the practice, and especially the dress rehearsal, almost unnerved Mr. McClarey for life. The night before the first performance, no one remembered his lines, a fuse blew, and the lights went out; in fact nothing was right. A final development of the year was the speed reading course conducted early in the spring.

He owns 1.19 cars, a 1960 lf2 model, t2 parts sedan, 1 part station wagom and .06 motor- cycles. He is of middle age tbetween 20 and 60L of average height, tanywhere from 5'8 to 6'2L and weighs not more than 300 lbs. twith his dog. His chosen po- tion is 39070 milk, 417:: bourbon, 6070 martini, and the rest Alka-Seltzer. He smokes 13 uz cigarettes a day, .06 cigars, and .06 pipes. Outside school his interests vary from quail hunting to Alum crystal growing. Obviously, this mathematical attempt to pinpoint the average Country Day teacher runs amuck, for no one who fits this description is found in the halls and classrooms of the school. So diverse are the interests, activities and attitudes of the faculty that no come posite Mr. X could exist by any analysis. Outside the blue and white walls the faculty en- gages in anything from asparagus growing to motor- cycling. Somewhere in the middle,however, is a more common interest in athletics. While Messrs. Yeiser and Holliday take to the hunt, or go fishing whenever pos- sible, Mr. Brush considers sailing, Mr. Gross hockey, . and Mr. Reid snow skiing as the favorite recreation. Tennis is Mr. Wright's department both in and out of school. Coach McDaniel is of course a forced Spectator, but Mr. Irwin and Mr. Pattison are regulars at all the t athletic events. tThe latter was recently out of town to miss his first CD. football game in 16 yearsy Mr. I Machen's wizardry on the soccer field is by now leg- Mr. H.

Davison, Yeiser, McClarey, Machen and Holliday all enjoy a little classical music on the hiefi. Mr. Eberhard, a clarinetist, recalls playing for a dance combo in college. Mr. Irwin7 also a musician, has often regaled his French classes with a rendition of some obscure piece on the piano; and to the school's amazement, Coach McDaniel showed himself to be a trumpet player. On weekends, several of the celibates like Mr. Gross, MI. Cooper and Mr. Holliday, who have not joined the ranks of the confirmed old bachelors, pursue the pleasures of a casual tiate. Many teachers just rest after what Mr. Eberhard describes as an inn vigorating, hair-xaising, nerve-shattering week. Al- Mr. J. D. McDaniel, B.S. Ed. Athletic Director, Shop. Mr. G. R. Wright, A.B.

They were not alone, for Mr. Brush did not know it either, and finally it was necessary to find a copy of the music in Mr. Brush's car, In a dif- i ferent way, Mr. Reid shivers at the thought of soccer games in zero weather, aner. Pattison shudders at the memory of a day he lost a baseballgame by puttixig in replacements for the first team. u-Ie did not realize i they could not come back after the initial lead was 1 losti. Mr. Davison recalls the first time he was told by i a college admission man that his recommendation Would be the deciding factor in one boy's application. Since that time more and more colleges have done this, and it is indicative of the trust in Mr. Davison's judgement. The student body, in a similar fashion, holds im- bedded in its memory impressions of the faculty Ate tention is drawn to Mr. Brush by his foible of pencil flipping and by his resounding NO's which echo off the corridor walls. Mr. Irwin is know for stories of his past life which embarrass no one but himself, while Mr. Partison's fame is founded on ebullient enthusiasms and intensive expressions looming over a desk piled Dr. H. Kxuse, Ph.D., Science though they would have it believed that they spend most of their time grading papers and preparing for the coming grind,there is much evidence of relaxation through the outlets of gardening, reading, and as Mr. Wright suggests, a great variety of things. Everyone who has been at Country Day for any length of time has had many experiences which have become, for better or for worse, a part of him, and the faculty members are no exception. Coach McDaniel, as might be expected, remembers the 1960 undefeated football season as his gre ates: thrill. On the other hand, Mr. Brush calls to mind a less triumphant occasion. It, seems that some years ago during a Gamboliers con- cert at Hillsdale, the entire group unanimously forgot Mr. G. Reid, JL, A.B., History, English Mr. R. Bullock, M.A. Mathematics Mr. A. C. Cooper, A.B., Mathematics Mr. J. W. Holiday, M.Ed. Algebra, Biology. 16 Mr. L. G. Irwin, M.A., French with several layers of books. One calculus victim has commented, 1'I can't learn anything because I am so fascinated watching his hair grow. The master is question defends his position in saying that he must make a choice between haircuts and sleeping, and he will always take sleeping. Mr. Machen has that curious British accent which impairs class concentration on French as well as a curious penchant for leaving town on unexplained pretenses. Mr! Yeiser's tactful ways of persecuting fraternities, St. Swithin's, debutantes; well--Mr. Yeiser's tactful ways A . . In their feelings toward their work and the school itself, the faculty members are practically as one. A desire for improvement in the school and an awareness of the necessity of change are characteristic. Thus there is much that is new every fall even to the re- turning students. Accordingly, Mr. Yeise: has been able to indicate why he and several of the old hands find CountryDay a highly enjoyable place to work. He points with pride to the tremendous improvement over the last fifteen years of facilities and student body. A desire for continued learning felt by the faculty is an integral part of the school's growth. Mr. Deane is cur- rently away on a year of absence to take advantage of a fellowship at Harvard. Both ML Cooper and Mr. Bul- lock want to go on learning, the latter taking courses and working towards a Ph.D. along with his teaching job. Known to spend many hours working in his lab, MI. Wright also attends summer schools and science institutes when he can. The science department is twice blessed, for Dr. Kreuse has rejoined the faculty with five yeaxs' experience in a clinical laboratory to his credit. Each teacher has his own philosophy which in the end reacts on his students. Perhaps Mr. Davison speaks for the faculty as awhole when he says, Every teacher's aim is to develop high scholastic goals, which he finds easier to achieve at a school like Country Day where there is a singleness of purpose, But each person must go about this in his own way. As anyone who has taken one of Mr. Btush's couxses knows, there is a real em- phasis on conflict in literature. Mr. Brush parallels this with a feeling that people do not know themselves or others except through conflict. Consequently, he is apt to suggest what is right but leave the final choice be- tween right and wrong or to the individual. Similarly, Mr. Pattison tries to get his students sufficiently in- volved to workwith a given set of facts, to teach them not what to think but how to think. He stroneg believes that character and success go hand in hand; that is to Language Underwood 17 . xuvn m mum Mr. N. Cross, B.A., Latin say that no one of essentially bad character is a good student. Mr. Irwin is more concise. In hoping that he might bring students to appreciate why and what they are studying, he also hopes to instill a desire to do one's best. For one reason or another many teachers have left Country Day for other jobs, but it is indicative that they return to visit periodically. Perhaps MI. Wright best explained why; At CountIy Day there are good boys, good spirit, good atmosphere and an interest in improvement. There is a purpose; there is a feeling of the school belonging to the faculty with each one chipping in to do his part; there is all this along with the feeling that if any person does not like the system, he can change it. PL IV Mr. T. Eberhard, B.A. History, English, 7 8: 8 SEN I ORS There is only one person in the school who can play chess in physics class and get away with it. This is DAVID ADAMSON. Perhaps he manages this because a teacher cannot help liking him, although it is more probable that anything he might pick up from Mr. Wright would be superfluous. To say this is saying noth- ing against the physics department; it only means that Dave has long since absorbed more math and physics than Country Day seems to be able to offer. For the past two years he has won the Ohio State Math Contest and has maintained a high honors average in all courses. He has sent Mr. Deane to Harvard, not to mention his other school activities. For four years he has been a member of the chess club, the soccer team, and the tennis team. Outside of school he is a member of the Teenage Republican Club, what- ever that is. No wonder Harvard wants him. Poised. Easygoing; Mysterious. WILLIE CLARK has been at Country Day for fourteen years which have been spent perfecting a measure of social aplomb which is unequaled by any other sen- ior. However, this attribute is generally useful only on weekends, and so Monday through Friday Willie grinds away at his studies and his school interests. These include four years in the dxamatic club, SCROLL, and Gamboliers. He was a member of the rifle club in grades ten and eleven and has played soccer throughout his upper school career. Although he is hesitant to admit it, Willie has earned a solid Aaverage while tactfully avoiding the chemistry and math which do not seem to interest him. There is a chance that his diversified outside activities account for the mysterious side of his personality. He has done volunteer hospital work, studies conchology and art--Precisely French Renaissance and Modern Orienta1--and he has attended a summer session in equitation at Culver. The specter of the soccer field, KENT COFER 'is primarily inter- ested in athletics and the great outeof-doots. A three-sport man at New York's Hackiey Prep School, he has continued in soccer, and btiefly expen'mented with football in his last two years at Country Day. A spring sport also, Kent journeys often to the fair- ways, where one can find him obviously angry at the small white ball. Kent is very quiet, probably because he only speaks when something needs to be said. iIt's too bad more seniors can't be that wayq But his remarks are cogent. In his two shortyears here, Kent has gained a secure, if unobtrusive, niche in the senior class. As such, he writes for the SCROLL, and is interesting himself in dramatics. Academically, Kent has shown good effort and solid improvement in the tough subj ects of English, History, French, and Math. 19 It is possible that this year has been somewhat anti-climactic for CHARLEY GAY in that his driver's license and his car both came before it started. Nevertheless, he has met with some success in other facets of Day School existence. Charley now holds the dubious distinction of being president of Delta Beta. Despite this he has many friends in the upper school, B.O.A. and otherwise. Hence he has become a well known member of the senior class in and out of school. For three years he has been the head manager of the varsity football team and has been on the starting soccer team. A wide and active range of interests has kept Charley busy, but not with the usual loudly touted organizations. Rather he has pounded away noisily on the stage crew and played violent chess for the last three years. Out of school Charley insists on working on his already tired, over- worked Karmen Ghia. CRAIG HAUSER is a boy who, believe it or not,is sometimes con- fused by calculus. Generally, though, he is not discouraged my math, indeed, he likes it so well that he took the I.B.M. computer course last summer. He's not so sure about Physics, but takes it anyway, Football has been his abiding sports interest and he earned a var- sity letter this past fall. Then, after the frozen wastes of soccer, he turns to either track or tennis in the spring. Outside school, Craig appends B.O.A. after his name. He also likes to trip Cotillion's brand of the light fantastic. Craig has a bright future in his chosen field of engineering. Probably best known as the caustic Mr. Observer of SCROLL fame, nice, old, jist folks POLK LAFFOON IV has many other ac- complishments to his credit. He wrote half of these senior sketches. His work on the last three school plays has been note- worthy. Elected to the Spring Dance Committee as a freshman, Polk has been stuck with it ever since. Afield, Polk has deftly sidestepped the football grind by devoting his sports time to lower-school coaching, but he does run through soccer and track in season. Polk professes his undying interest in the states of Oklahoma and Michigan, where he spends his summers. His teachers concur that his mind often seems to be miles away. Last but not least, Polk has shown a fine academic record-- especially as a senior. His most recent marks have been honors caliber. Strangely enough, the first thing that comes to mind when JACK LASSOFF is mentioned is girls. And also strangely enough, the first thing that usually comes to J ack's mind is girls. But though the femme fatale has occupied much of his time over the years, Jack has found time for over fifteen hobbies, several out of school clubs and a number of in school activities. After one year on X- squad, he screwed up the courage to go out for varsity football and was a letterwinner by his junior year, He has also been on the starting soccer team and has been a jumper in track since the ninth grade. At the same time Jack has worked as a hard-hitting member of the stage crew. By all odds Delta Beta's most loyal member, Jack has served as Sec.-Treasurer of his fraternity. His many hobbies include skin-diving, motorcycles, nature, bikes, and a notorious blue and white Impala. FREDERIC C. LYNCH is most noted for his interest in things mili- tary. He is a squad sergeant in the lOlst Range: Unit of the Civil Air Patrol. Last summer at the C.A.P.'s encampment at Wright- Patterson base Fred was an expert marksman with an Ml rifle. No wonder he was two years president of the now defunct C.C. title club. A three year stint as a. SCROLL mogul, four years of dramatics, and three terms on the Dance Committee round out Fred's field of school endeavor. Cross country running was Fred's sport in the fall of '62, but he was previously on the football squad. Soccer, in which he was varsity twice, and track have been winter and spring constants. Fred also adds a 1962-63 office in Delta Beta fraternity to his list of accomplishments. Fred is Irish the won't let anyone forget thatiuwhich is something to his credit,bu.t he spoils the effect by being an Orangeman from County Down. The watusi never quite reached all the way from Indian Hill to Country Day, but if there was ever going to be a place for it to catch hold, RALPH NELSON would have provided it. Unquestion- ably the most versatile dancer in the class, he has been the bridge of social understanding between Indian Hill and Country Day for the past two years. This has been accomplished through his presidency of BOA and a consistent appearance at the Arm- strong openhouses. Had Rock remained on the football team last fall, this beautiful link might have been destroyed during the Indian Hill game. However, football's casual intruder, Fate stepped in, and Rock stepped out. Although he is inclined towards a somewhat relaxed Monday, Ralph has given much of his time to Country Day activities. For several years he has been an important member of the Gamboliers and one of the SCROLL'S better writers. And deciding against giving up soccer for smoking, he has been the team's goalie for the past two years. 21 Chickey-boom means BILL O'NEAL is on his way. With this re- sounding cry he invaded C.D.'s ivy walls three years ago, and he has not stopped bouncing since, Dramatics have been his first love--with roles as a Chinese mayor and a Midwesternhalfback to his credit. Bill has played football and basketball, but his real talent lies in Abner Doubleday's game although he is a southpaw. What is surprising about Bill'sstudies is that he finds the necessary time to devote to them, so many and varied are his out- of-school activities. Scouting, fraternity, church, dancing and the Nat'l Audubon Society variously absorb him. Bill's greatest experience to date was his '62 summer of shoveling shrimp in San Francisco. We wish him luck if this is his chosen profession. ED OVERTREE came to Country Day expecting to find a lot of scholars adorned with homed-rimmed glasses and brief cases. Disillusioned once, Ed is going to Princeton next fall with much the same idea. Although his social attitudes may be jilted, he is quite ready for anything else that awaits him. At his would-be alma mater, Indian Hill High School, Ed dabbled in anything from Latin National Honor Society to the all-school variety show. Characteristically modest, Ed feels both he and the school gleaned a modicum of benefit from his efforts, but he has preferred to drop many of them in favor of studies how at Country Day. He is probably most reknowned for an impassive mug which ac- companies a wellwwrirten sports report in every Saturday Post and Times Star. In addition to a constant honors average, Ed worked on the SCROLL, the ARCHIVE, and Gamboliers. Shawnee-haircutted DAVE PALMER'S aptitude and interest both tend toward mathematicsi The mathletics team is his major extra- curricular interest, and courses in calculus and computer pro- gramming academically entice him both summer and winter. Although Dave played varsity football until this year, soccer re- mains his favorite sport, and he is recognized as one of the better goalies of the winter league. Indoors constructing sets for the play and shooting for the rifle team occupy him. Like so many of his friends,Dave apparently spends a. great deal of his spare time at his church. Besides the usual youth group and acolyting, he is a member of De Moiay, a well-known intema- tional fraternal organization. His other personal hobbies include numismatism and boat building. 22 A rough, tough interior lineman, and a muscular whale on the track team. Wrestling and weight lifting also absorb JIM PEARCE. Best known for. a hacking cough and that Long John Silver look, Jim has made life much more bearable for his classmates with his onastage and off-stage humor. His other activities have included his positions as ARCHIVE busi- ness manager, J.V. basketball man, and B.O,A. fraternity member. Jim is also involved in church acolyte and youth groups outside school. For the first time in recent memory, Jim has been on the Honor Roll this year, an improvement perhaps caused by his visits last summer to ten colleges in the East. The title of any sketch on BOB PECK should be GUNS, for no matter how a person tries to shape it, he necessarily encounters a fanatical interest in military firearms. Old Trusty Reloading Robert's arrival at Country Day in the third grade triggered nine successful years which he logically hepes to continue at West Point. During his tenure here sports have comprised a large part of his extravcurricular activities. For three years as a mile runner he won the varsity letter in track, and has also played first string soccer. Aside from athleticsU however, there has been a rather passive interest in B.O.A. and the vice-presidency of a short lived gun club. Although there are those who have dubbed him the class cynic, Bob served as secretary and later vice-president of the stu- dent council. Nevertheless, the real Bob Peck is at home working with, reading about, and studying guns. As the old man of the class, JOHN PERRY occupies a. position unique in scholastic annals, as probably the only student ever will- ing or able to repeat the senior year. He will also have the dis- tinction of appearing in two successive ARCHIVES. John's forced ineligibility for major sports has relegated him to coaching jobs, which, nevertheless, he has handled well. He still collaborated on Nuff Said articles for the SCROLL, and retains a vital interest in dramatics. After living with his uncle for six months, John returned to us a soberecl scholar. His schoolwork has shown a steady upward trend, and his presence exertsa stabiliu'ng influenceon his more frivolous classmates. 23 Perhaps JOHN PHILLIPS' most significant contribution to school society,and certainly the one most enjoyable to him,has been his four year stint with the Gamboliers. This, John feels, entitles him to a snow job on MI. Brush before each English quiz-alas, unavailingly. At any rate John's strong second tenor supports that section. Among his other activities are Chess Club, SC ROLL, lower school coaching, stage fighting to: is that an L'Ii: and managing var- sity baseball. Outside school, John's interests are primarily religion centered. Four years a member of the Acolyte Guild at two different churches, he also teaches a Sunday School class and sings in the choir. At home John dabbles in such divergent hobbies as grass cutting, music, theater technique and telephoning. PETER ROBERTSON, alias Tweep-er, Tweet-er, Tweak, has only been at Country Day for two years, but in that time he has come pileda noteworthy record. It could be said that he s K. nt his junior year adapting himself and his senior year undoiig3 it. Coming from Asheville, he set about his studies with a band that un- fortunately ended in a mild thud. He holds the record for delay on a junior term paper, but he has redeemed himself in his senior year and has close to a honors average. One of the fastest run- ners in the school, Pete has received letters for both football, as a starting guard, and track. Since Tweak is as friendly and outgoing as anyone in the school, he was rushed by both fraternities. He may have been playing both ends against the middle, but he was sound enough to choose BOA. It's fortunate for everyone that James Dean was a reckless driver. FRED ROTH now has a clear shot at stardom. For acting is this South Fort Mitchell native's passion. His renditions of Captain Fisby and Tommy Turner have been as professional as his back- ground would warrant. Throughout the regular school year, he takes tevery Tuesdayt voice instruction at the College Conservaa tory, and he spent last summer at a six-week pre-college drama course at the Carnegie Institute of Technology. tFred liked Tech so much that he plans to continue therei. However, Fred has one glaring theatrical weakness--he chokes when he has to make love to the heroine. This fault will correct itself naturally. Of course, voice lessons make him a prime candidate for the Gamboliers, and the ARCHIVE has entrapped him with the rest of us. The electronics of sound reproduction fascinate him. 24- When Greg Southgate returned to Beechwood High School two years ago, TOM RUSK evidently decided it was time to depart for Country Day, even if it meant he would have to commute every day from Fort Mitchell. While here, he has interestedhimself wholly in sports. Running is his favorite, with cross country in the fall and track in the spring. Swimming and golf are included in his spams interests. Aside from fraternity tTom's a Delta-Beta officer this yeariand the church, Tom has some intriguing out-of- school interests. Making air conditioners7 flying airplanes, and manufacturing explosives at home are but a few of the activities of this seemingly mild-mannered young man. It was perhaps un- fair to say that Tom is interested only in sports, for he is, of 1 course, concerned with his education. During his junior year he visited several colleges, 3. process guaranteed to impress the im- portance of high school. I If there were any money in the treasuries of student organizations, ELY RYDER would be in Charge. Obviously impressed by Ely's level-headfdness in financial matters, both the senior class and the student council elected him SecretarvareasureI this year. Just in the past two years has our boy blossomed out into an ex- tracmicular rose. As a junior, Ely first attempted football ifirst team defensei, and Writing for the SCROLL,- of course, he has al- ways enjoyed soccer and track. Outside school, Ely's interests are diverse-uhis church youth group tpresidenti, computer program, B.O.A. fraternity, and Jim Pearce's automobile and conversation society. Until this year, Ely was spending his summers at a very interesting job--performing wine analyses in his father's medical lab. TOM SCHMIDT is one of those rare people who can easily win the respect and friendship of anyone he knows,but more important, he unhesitatingly gives the same consideration to anyone he meets. It is not surprisingthen that Tom has beenthe president of his claSS five times and in his 56:15.0: yea: served as vice-president of the Student Council. Aside from maintaining a high average, he was elected co-captain of the football team, was twice an Iron Man and last year earned the PrincetonHTate award for most valuable player. For three years he has been on the starting basketball and baseball teams as center and catcher respectively. Outside of school Tom is interested in 13.0 .A., self-articulation, and playing the piano. The fact that he spent Sunday mornings leading the Indian Hill acolytes and spent most of last summer doing volunteer work in a hospitalis seldom mentioned, That does not mean Tom gave them less than everything he had. 25 Radio is to GERRY SNYDER as guns are to Bob Peck, for Gerry looks, thinks, and acts like the HAM he is. A member of the American Relay Radio League nad of the Ohio-Kentucky- Indiana Very High Frequency Amateur Radio Club, Gerry can easily be tuned in on any channel. He has left history and English to anyone who might be unwittingly interested in them, while choosing math and science for himself. Four years a member of the Mathaletics Team, Gerry has also earned phenomenal grades in physics to the delight of Mr. Wright. This flower of the scientific world has admittedly been a weed on the athletic field. Every spring Gerry can be seen trying out for tennis only to be relegated to track where he says everyone not good enough for tennis or baseball winds up, like it or not. Although he has been the class scholar every year since the seventh grade, PAUL THOMPSONis the antithesis of the scholastic egghead so often seen on top of a school's Honor Roll. He has consistently earned A effort ratings in all his courses, but that is only half the story. The same effort goes into every sport Paul goes out for, and it is indicative that Coach Wright referred to him as one of the school's really great backs at the fall sports dinner. In that he is quiet and often allows his scholastic achieve- ments to identify him, it is sometimes hatdto realize that from his sophomore year he has been a letterman on the football, soccer and track teams. He is at once an Iron Man and amember 0f Cum Laude, but he finally yielded to social pressures and joined BOA. Whether he regards it as the cherished institution that his brothers do is doubtful however. Some people say that HULBERT T. TYTUS has contributed more to our school than any other senior. Hully protests vigorously his innocence of any such thing. He feels that a list of what he has not done would make interesting reading. After a brief flirtation with Choate, Bully arrived in 1961, and ever since he has devoted his energies to cross-country running, playing the guitar, studying, and other forms of relaxation. Intellectually, Hully finds his best outlet in philosophical argu- ments with his teachers about the value of regimented education. Few of his colleagues would vehemently disagree with his view- point. N01: to say that Hully can escape schoolwork-Findeed, he attributes his academic average to the consistent quality of his effort. 26 If STEVE WATSON has been fortunate in his abilities at Country Day, he has at the same time put every effort into What he has accomplished. Although they are only a part of his work, athletic achievements will probably be remembered as his most important. The fact that he has captained the football, basketball, and base- ball teams for two years speaks for itself. But a record of four years as varsity quarterback, three times an Iron Man winner, and twice a co-captain tells not only of a capable football player, but of a player who has earned great respect from every teammate. The same respect hasbeen won inside of school, and it follows that he was in his senior year the president of the Student Council. In- stilled with much school spirit, Steve has worked hard on the Gamboliers and SC ROLL while maintaining an honors average. Whether DAN WRIGHT was hatched or born is not really known, but then it is not really relevant. He had no soonergotten his first A then he began selling eggs to any teacher or student who would risk it. We soon learned that he lived on a farm and raised sheep. Dan is still cackling, still raising sheep, and still getting A's in his senior year. To assist his desire to go to Yale undoubtedly g fulfilledi he claims membership in the American and Ohio Ii Shropshire Down Sheep Registry Ass., and the Warren County H Historical Society, and he plays a mean violin. A notch above everyone else anyway, Dan has remained aloof by working on the SCROLL, Gamboliers, ARCHIVE, and plays for four years and doing a. good job in all of them. Besides playing football and soccer, he has lettered in varsity tennis. Within the sour cliche': like father like son,1ies a basic truth; and RICK YEISER has been reminding Country Day of his father since Kindergarten. However, given the endemic Yeiser personality and athletic ability, he has emerged in a way slightly his own. Rick began with the good sense to start at the bottom in several ac- tivities and to advance steadily in each one. Although he elimi- nated the play after two years, he has remained, amid occasional arguments over rehearsal, a loyal Gambolier. Similarly, he began a SCROLL writer, later became make-up editor, and finally was elected editoruin-chief. Athletically, Rick got his start bench warming for the football team but improved until he became a starter. Since the ninth grade he has played varsity or JV basket- ball and for three years played outfield on the baseball team. With all these credits plus an honors average, Rick leaves his mark. 27 UPPER S CH 0 0L BACK ROW: B. Walker, B. Diesbach, E. Schweitzer, R. Vogel, G. Rasmussen, GRADE D. Hauser, J. Lazarus.

GRADE E 1 GH T ORA DE SE VEN FEA TURE AR TICLE P.L. IV D.W. HE 1960 undefeated football season, which culminated in a rousing dis- play of parental and student cheering, was indicative of Country Day spirit. Even the reluctant seventh graders were at the games in full force echoing the cheerle aders' wild cries. This great turnout was much duetofiery editorials in the SCROLL urg- ing sideline support for the athletic teams and to undying efforts on Mr. Yeiser's part to see that everybodycameto all the foot- ball games. Since that time the frenzied attempts to encourage school spirit have met with more thana little success. Every year the football dinner has drummed up tremendous enthusiasm for the athletic program; the Mothers' Association has urgedparents to support the Christmas sale, pleaded with lower schoolers to sell raffle tickets for the basketball carnival, and entreated everyone to attend the spring play. An upswing in attendance at the gamesmarks this surge of Spirit, embodied in the blue Country Day jackets scattered among the routers. What is true on the field is no less true in the classroom. Ef- fort ratings, sessions with advisers, and prodding from home spur each person to work for good grades, while parents and alumni know real pride in Country Day's rigid standards. Virtually everyone feels bound to contribute to some extrancurricu- lat activity, causing the SCROLL and Gamboliers, among others to evoke a strong senseofschool loyalty. The chive to supw port CD. is always present, and the results would indicate that school spirit is not lacking. 33 However, an. idealist would look askance at this sanguine picture of school life. The Seniors shooting baskets during the second period do not seem to better themselves or Country Day. The wasted hours at SCROLL makeup sessions are spent in nothing more than an extended bull session. Delay in coming to Gambolier practice or failure to learn lines for the play elicit temporary reprimands and are forgotten. Missing a. football scrimmage and failure to live up to training rules are wrongs oftencommitted, but with relative impunity. Paper wad fights in study hall, talking in class, and rough-housing in the halls are common violations of oft- repeated rules. In addition, a glory-hog occasionally appears on the athletic field, or someone acting carelessly on a weekend endangers the reputation of the whole school. In these instances the school can do little, but the disrespect of fellow stu- dents is often the more effective discipline. Nevertheless, the idealist could shrug off this side of School as inconsequential when weighing it against Country Day's achievements. These are a result of the real school spiritmeasily measured by its effects. For severalyears the football team hashada winning season due to the efforts of individual boys. No coach has yelled the squad into victory, nor has sideline shouting caused any wins, Rather have long team scrimmages and team spirit achieved success. The SCROLLstaff works muchthe same way. With very little fac- ulty supervision, the boys can immerse themselvesinbull sessions, or work on the paper. But the result is a product of stun dent effort and achievement. The spirit derivedfrom working together has resulted in an improved SCROLL over the years, and it is significant that recently it was awardedfirst place ranking in the Colum- bia scholastic PreSS Association for school publications. The high grades of class scholars evince a similar Spirit, for they stem from personal initiative instead of push from home and school. Largely through self instIuction the Mathematics C1ub ha.s learned enough mathematics to snare the Ohio state mathematics cham- pionship for thee consecutive years. But hold onaminute--in such activities as the Mathematics Club wherein does spirit really lie? Surely it is in the initiative of individual students desiring to bring about achievement intheir activity, thus better- ing the school. If such an interpretation is valid, sideline cheering becomes uneasily artificial. If one does not choose to take an active part in school life, he proves nothing by being aroused in morning asr sembly to come to a weekend game. Sud- denly the individual's choice of shooting baskets during second period study hall be- comes more compatible with the real spirit of Country Day. At this point things fall more and more into place. A boy has the optionof wash ingtime shooting baskets in the same way as the SCROLLstaffhasthe option of was:- ing time in a bull Session. But the same mlIltMlllWa..-A option gives them the freedom to make real achievements. The Service Club, in- stituted by the students and run by their voluntary efforts, shows this same option run beneficially. There would be little value in this if the boys had not taken it upon themselves and done the job well. The production of THE MALE ANIMAL lastfall was an experiment. Those inter- ested boys staged the play With neither fac- ulty nor parental control. Despite the problems involved, some of the audience commented that: it was better than any previous school-run production. And cer- tainly the boys who participated got more out of it than if they had had the usual direction. The LITERARYMAGAZINE and the Chess Club follow much the same pat- tern. With little or no faculty guidance, there were sturdy promotion campaigns for the magazine and long assembly periods of 37 practicefor the Chess Club, which result- ed in several issues for the one and tourna- ment wins for the other. Much of the scho- lastic curriculum has been designed with the same idea in mind. The history term paperuten thousand words on anything from the Morell Land Grant Act to World War 11 small firearms--leaves it up to the Student how much work he does and con- sequently how high his grade is. The sen- ior year in English develops into a course where there are long assignments handed out with no pressure to hand them in. These are isolated instances, but in the final analysisfor all cases, achievement comes from individual effort. Any athletic sea- son--be it football, baseball or whatever --depends upon how much work the boys are willing to do. Coach McDaniel has Said many times than no amount of rant- ing onhispart will take the place of team desire. In contrast to this picture, the flag wavers, the sports dinner backslappers, the activity list builders, and the pep tallies C'We are goingto have a pep rally; 1 want everyone to show a lot of spirit; so come out and cheer! '0 for all their pretense have no effect. One is now able to distinguish the seeming spirit--blowhard, ostentatious-- from the real spirit-tacit, personal, spon- taneous. Pride in Country Day is taking advantage of the opportunity to partici- pate voluntarily. There are some who do not share in this feeling, but they cannot ignore its effects around them. This should not imply that an absolute maximum in freedom of choice for the individual and aminimum of direction is either the ideal or the practicable. The necessity for in- fluence and control of teachers over the student is never questioned. Nor should this imply that cheering for the teams is always pretense and therefore wrong. The ideal is rather a maximum of individual impetus to achievement and support within a system of direction and control. A CTIVITIES THE ARCHIVE i63 BACK ROW: MI. Eberhard tfaculty advison, W.

WHAT was dreamed up by the Madison Avenue minds, in the many me etings of the Archive moguls, can onlybe judged now with the publication of the '63 Archive itself. In fact the uncertainty of how well the Archive would be received t a no-second-chanee affaiqcaused several staff members to consider a swift escape after graduating and before the books were disu tributed. It is hoped that the brisk programJ designed to lift the Archive out of the quagmire ofmediocrity, will satisfy eventhe more finiky of yearbook clientele. Bas- ically, the staff's program has been one of change,-- change of style, content, and financing For the first time, the Archive requisitioned the parents for contri- butions to help pay the printer's bill, and in order to save space for the new Feature and Year-in-Review articles which were to be only the major examples of the increased amount of articles and written material throughout. The desire to correct the perennial lack of good photography had almost the entire staff out snap- ping pictures at one time or another. HoweverJ this New Frontier of Archive publications involved new volumns of work which editor-inpchief, Dan Wright C'I'm the editor,--you don't think I do any work any- more? l tried foist off on his staff. Polk Laifoon and Ed Overtree, who wrote most of the articles and squibs, won't soonforget working at school over Christmas vaca- tion or calling Butlerville, Ohio, to get their editor's OK on acertain paragraph. Business management and promotion, alwaysademandingtask, was left up to Jim Pearce and Will Clark, and Fred Roth, make-up editor, Archive moguls working late to satisfy their finiky clientele . . . doubtlessthought he would never escape from the little torture chamber inthe library and get on with more inr teresting things. The juniors on the staff did not escape being yoked to the communal cart, especially photog- 5 rapher Ed Schweitzer, but were strapped down like the rest. It is thought that Mr. Eberhard, faculty advisor, is still somewhat dazed by the wide and fast moving New Frontier program. Nevertheless, if the Archive has been able to do justice to this eventful schoolyear and at the same time been able to payfor itself, the staff has attained its goal. Overtree spends Christm as vacation working on the Archive. THE C. C.D.S. S CR OLL N -. 'I L? ' ' ' l 'V Q . BACK ROW: B. Stern, P. Laffoon, B. Riehle. FRONT ROW: F. Lynch, R.

The staff included also Bo Riehle and Bill Stern--make up editors, Rick Vogel and Hank Shick--copy editors, Fred Lynch--circulation manager, Polk Laffoon--business manager, and Ed Schweitzer--photographer. Once a month the editors would meet on a Saturday and try to assemble the paper. However, the cheerleading practices, bull-ses- I : sions, and a general lack of attention made it impossible to get much I work done. Thus the paper was almost never completely put together before the next Wednesday. Nevertheless, it would survive and show itself complete to avid re aders the following Friday. Polk Laffoon's notorious column, the Observer, and John Perry's or Rob Shetterly's Nuff Said commented upon school life, each in its own way. Regularly Rick Yeiser would sigh, What's wrong with the'Nqu Said, ' Sir? as Mr. Eberhard's one man censorship committee wielded its power andmade this column, the spearpoint of the Scroll, slightly less, a spearpoint. After the titles and headlines had been maneuvered into place, Ed Schweitzer could always be counted on to provide candid pictuxes to fill in the white space. That nebulous, unSungmass of writers presented with assignments ominously due by Friday, still remain much of the backbone of the Scroll.

First the development of a service club under council supervision: this club, de- scribed elsewhere, has proved most rewarding for all engaged in it. Second, the council recognized that it could fill an important role by undertaking to help a Student who in the opinion of themselves or the majority of Students was failing himself orthe school in his activ- ities withinthe walls or out. The idea is to give a stuw dent the chance to assert himself before he gets into serious difficulty with the school. A third activity was the Supervision of the library quiet and the checking of books both in and out. A number of other activities were carried on of shorterdul- ation, refreshment stands at athletic contests for in- stance. Asthis article goes to press, the council is tak- ing upthe question of the possibility of close: relation- ships in student activities with other independent schools in this area. Strangely enough, Hillsdale and College Preparatory are prominently mentioned. Steve Watson, President of the council, has given the group energetic and effective leadership.

Its members pulled theme selves together, however, in time to have another rather average year. Due to constant brown-nosing and a monstrous rush party, BOA snagged Rob Shet- terly along with most of the sophomore class. Pledging season began in earnest about the first week in December and lasted five weeks with only a minimum of paddling, egg throwing, and cow- towing to actives' sadistic tendencies. Always in dire iinancial straits, BOA was not helped by an inefficient treasurer and forty Uiftless broth- ers. Car washes at the Church of the Redeemer made enough money to pay for the rush party, but after that it was up to the new pledges' dues to defray expences. Unquestlonably a person was lead to wonder whether the fraternity wanted him or his money. However, Presidents Nelson and DeCroes allayed suspicion along this line, and in general they did a better job than the presidents that preF ceded them. The parties were sometimes marked by a lack of attendance, but a few of the first were never-to- be-forgotten affairs: open houses in the fall and an unnerving New Year's Eve. Obliging one of its infrequent pangs of charity consciousness, the fra- ternity collected for the Heart fund in late Febru- ary. DEL TA BE TA THE Country Day Chapter of Delta Beta has made a good name for itself in past years, and this year it spent much of its time in trying to maintain it. Charity projects are the way to do this. Before Xmas fortyefour wrapped gifts were delivered to the Children's Home, and in December, thirty boys ushered at the annual children's Kindercon- cert. They also tmagnanimous soulst solicited for the Heart Fund and Cancer Drive. For the rush party DB really put one over on BOA theh hehi. The fraternity organized a highly secret ice skating party at the Cincinnati Gardens. Un- fortunately the cat was let out of the bag when BOA's crafty secmtreasurered DB's president into disclosing the plans. However there was no inter- 49 vention, and DB went on to have a highly success- ful skating session and dance afterwards. A large pledge class was invited, and the entire fraternity now consists of sixty-three brothers. The real purpose of the organization was realized through fifteen parties during the yeaIe-including a beatnik party and a Roman orgy. The Klu Klux Klan has nothing on DB. Night-time action was supplemented by a softball game at Terrace Park and a picnic at Lake Kowan-eno need to add that these were followed by more sensational parties, This vigorous year ended at the annual campout at Brown County.

Nothing could be farther from the truth. Indeed, in com- parison to the average high school, we seem as militanly athletic as Woody Hayes. Although a small school, Country Day fields full squads in all major sports and in several minor ones. As in most private schools, every student is require to partici- pate in the sports program, yet the zest for athletics never seems to stale. Varsity teams command vigorous interest, and intramural teams often ex- hibit surprising proficiency. The big-time sport of the school in terms of quality, attendance and excitement, is football--increas- ingly the American pastime. The 1962 season was no exception. The season actually started long be- fore the cheerleaders or Mr. Pattison were ever heard from--back in the dog days of August. The CD football program then consisted of about twenty boys, two coaches, Some equipment, and two tired practice footballs. Outeof-shape grunts, then the already monotonous chant of the quarterback was the only sound fromthe hot little stretch of graSS below the main field.

Madeira's bigger team, however, would have none of this the next time out, and our Indians bowedl The next six wins were easy. Only DePon-es, who de- feated the Blue in 1962, put up more than feeble resistance. Fullback Tom Schmidt and Halfback Paul Thompson cleaned up individual scoring, the former tallying fourty-two points, and the latter, thirty-two. The real and perrenial test came on November 2, the last game against archrival Indian Hill. For five successive seasons, the Blue team had retained the Warbonnet, symbol of supremacy in the series. Again they got themselves r11.11;! again determined to win, but this time something went wrong. No longer could sheer will-to-win overcome complacent con- fidence, for that complacency was backed this time by overpowering weight and skill. For the first time, a blue-clad quarterback lost ground more often than he gained it. For the first time the Country Day de- fense could not rally. The result was a shattering 38-0 defeat. Country Day's backfield, the hope of the past three seasons, will be considerably depleted next year. Three of the four stalwarts are graduating seniors--- Steve Watson, Tom Schmidt, and Paul Thompson. 53 Watson and Thompson run against New Rich- mond.

The first three games were disheartening drubbings in which our boys failed to score a point while allowing an average of thirty-one to the opponent. The last two games were exciting close contests--one a loss to Loveland, 20-14, and the last game, victory of 14-6 over Mariemont. As is true with other young and inexperienced teams, the Middle School eleven improved with time, particularly the seventh grade members. By next season we might have a winner.

Indeed, no one really knows what it is. Sixth boys, in various stages of decay, are turned loose on three helpless footballs, The result is most interesting. Officially the game is Kennedy football, played on 60 yard fields, in halves of approximately 35 minutes duration. The team with the best passers and tallest receivers usually wins, . but never by a very large margin. The best defense e I is the other team's deficient offense. The team championship was decided twice; the only con- Clusion seemed to be that no one squad was superior. BACK ROW: B. Manet, C. Wulsin, R. Pogue, M. Rich, J. Goldsmith, S. Harrison, M. Osler, T.

This test of endurance, known as soccer, is also one of the most intricate games yet devised. It requires a gracefulness of the one place where Americans are the clumsiest, their feet. The season starts in mid-November when the weather is still warm enough to permit shorts and bare heads. By mid-February, many of the lesser participants degenerate into shivering, sweat-shirted mummies. Yet the championship race retains its excitement all winter.

The coaching duties were shared by Mess'rs Pattison, Brush, Reid, and Machent The varsity soccer team, composed of the best intramural players, played two games against Walnut Hills. The first, played at C.D., went to the home team, 3-1. However, when the vaxsity traveled to Walnut Hills for a rematch, the muddy result was a 1-0 loss. This truncated season thus proved inconclusive. Country Day has never been famous for its basket- ball teams. This is probably due to a singular lack of interest in the sport. As was noted above, soccer is the major pre-occupation with nearly two-thirds of the active athletes participating. Yet, even to the ho-hum fan, this past season has been a disappointment. At times the team looked like a fighting, spirited group; at other times it seemed pitifully bad. The final record was four wins, eleven losses--identica.1 with last year's. How- ever, three of the losses. to Indi an Hill, St. Bernard uoumamenn and Sycamore, were decided by a total of fou: points. Each of these opponents was, oddly enough, among the toughest on the schedule. There is still hope for the future. Four of the top seven players will return next year. Added experience will presumably turn the trick for 1963-64. Individual stars rotated from game to game, which was precisely the trouble, for although individual effort was often good, team effort was usually lack- ing. However, the principal strong men were sopho- more forward Rob Shettetly, who lead the team in scoring with slightly over 11 points per game, and senior Tom Schmidt, whose rebounding and point production Oust less than Shetterly'g remained a steadying influence.

There are nearly twenty young men smart enough to know that the gym is warmer than the soccer field, and they divide into teams to play two sequential games. Usually one-half court, these contests are characterized by speed, loose ball-handling, and the players' high regald for themselves. For all the clowning, the Hackers have produced recently at least one varsity player and several junior varsity members.

The wins came against Madeira and the Lutheran School of the Redeemer. The worst defeat was at the hands of Deer Park, 42-31.

For one thing, young love is stymied at a boy s schooll There is nothing for a young man's fancy to turn to, unless it might be base- ball, tennis, track, acting, dancing, singing, or test taking. Spring fever, by all outward signs, seems to bypass Given Rd. The trend here runs to even more frenzied activity as the school year builds to its climax at commencement. The weariness of winter sports after the perennial lethargy of the basket- ball team and the mme-du1lhm blasts of the soccer field, seems quickly to evaporate as nearly two hundred boys turn to quick and enlivoning spring sports. and Armstrong jump AW.MGDaniel watches as Kvll P earce shows his discus . h Perhaps the most typlcal ls track and field, which fonn gives the hibernating student a chance to pull himself up from the lake-bottom of the wintered-in classroom and to stretch all his muscles in the sun and open air. The first meet was the biggest. Country Dayts third annual Invitational Track Meet attracted more than three hundred entrants from twenty-six different schools. Harrison High SchooL bolstered by its relay teams, won the meet; but more important to Coaches McDaniel and Gross was Country Day's improvement in final standings over Fencing club practice in the gym the year before. The blue team took all its points in the high jump. John Armstrong set a school record with his winning leap of 5'10't the has since raised the mark to Sill'i3, and Mitch Eggers grabbed fourth place. In each of two other tri- angular meets the team placed a close second. The jumpers,with ample help from weightmen Pearce and Hauser and sprinter Pete Robertson. remained the backbone of the team. t In 1963. for the first time in recent memory, i the Country Day baseball team failed to survive the first rounds of the District Tournament. st. Bernard, with the help of anemic Country Day hit- ting. blanked the Indians 2-0. As the season pro- Rasmussen 3 gressed, the early show of wins began to be makes a I evened out by an unfortunate losing spree. Notable $?ap at victories were over withrow, Eastern Hills, League first leading Loveland, and cranbrook, pride of Detroit. Steve Watson supplemented his winning pitching, which produced a no-hitter against Milford, with a batting average well over .400. which led all bison i players. - warms The most successful team this spring has been up the tennis team. Mr. Wright's charges won six of x the nine matches prior to the district tournament. The wins included a squeaker. 3-2, over a tough Wyoming squad, and 5-0 white-wash jobs against l both Madeira and Purce11,-matches in which Country .: Day won every set. The success has been the result I 1 J L I of an altogether team effort; while no one player First singles Stern eck and Dave Perlin play doubles against Mhriemont .....-e-i z Army P ix am M! A 'QHMI!

The first was the spring play, Mr. Roberts, presented March 21 and 23. Once again basvd on the military life, this xoarhs pro- duction was another financial succegs and, it is hopvd, an ansthntic success as HPll. Success how- ever, was not without a fPW doubtful moments and not without a few blown fuses, mechanical as well as human. The performances of tho Laughing Maskers were well received, especially those of the sen- iors John Perry, Ed Overtree, Polk Laffoon. and Bill O'Neal who played the major roles, Mr.R0berts tho captain, Pulver, and DOC respectively.

Chairman Laffoon 0f the dance committee was bent on hiring an expen- sive band, The T0rqu6s, whose expense and music alike were to add a new wrinkle t0 age-old custom. Attendance, however, was tremendous compared with that of previous years. doubtless due to a heated hustling campaign at the last minute by the com- mittee. During the evening, the Shout, Mashed-pot- , ato, Twist, Kitchen, Hitch-hike, n0ndescript,etc reigned supreme and one soon forgot whether the band was worth it or not. Music lovers crowded into Hillsdale School's auditorium on April 26 to hear the Gamboliers join in song with the Girl's glee club.

The Double Quartet from 0-D- alone, and combined with a small group of the Hillsdale girls, added several more songs to the concert. Mr. Brush, in order to make time for costume changes involved with a dance program by the Hillsdale dance Class, made his always lucid interloquitor even more lucid, but certainly to no oneis regret. It might be said that as the temperature rises and as the trees become green, the studentis mind begins to wander in the direction of between class frizbe matches or softball games, -a premise cer- tainly endorsed by teachers who have come out secv 0nd best to outside goings on in holding a stu- dent's interest, or who have stood by horrified as VARSYFY BACK ROW: C.Kirk0rian, K.Shetterly, D.Rilvy, tmanageri, ' R.Eeckwithi S.Watson, B.Stern, FRONT HOW: H.Yeiser, H.5hick, B.ua1ker, D.Curtin, MriYeisertcoachi.

Certainly academic achievement does not leave. The Mathletics Club was again second in the state in the annual math contest as a team and Dave Adamson was again first in the state individually. Adamson was also honor- ed by winning a National Merit Scholarship, and classmate Paul Thompson received a Yale National Scholarship.
