LIFE l IN MMORMEIA Craig Menderson, a Freshman, died during The Third monTh of his second year at Country Day. Last year he was Vice-Presidenf and participated actively in sporTs, newspaper, and dramaTics. He received 1he Middle School Award at Commencement and was on High HonorsV He was elected president This year, and the class voted To leave his office unfilled, in honor of one who contributed so much to the school in so shor'r a lime. Craig's ready smile, his ebullience, his loyal friendship with all of us here has set a high goal for others to follow. His memory will remain long in our hearts. 1965-66 was a significant year for the Day School. It signaled the growth of both the phys- ical Dlant and the student body. The marked increase in enrollment to 550 caused the addi- tion of two new faculty members. Mr. Coates ioined the French department but also taught Spanish, and Mr. ThesEng taught Latin and Eng- lish as well as coaching the Middle School basketball team, but failed to get a Uinform for varsity gamest Having lost its two stalwart den mothers, the school hired two new secretaries. Miss Kramer and Mrs. Gamble who immediately renovated the school supply store in order to compete with Shillito's with after-Thanksgiving sales and such. After the graduation of Flavio da Costa in 3962, Country Day had no foreign students Until the arrival of TiTo Stenberg from Finland and Steven Ortenblad from Sweden. Although C. D. 'differed immensely from their former schools, both agreed that they profited from their year in America. Physically, the school changed by the addi- tion of two new wings. The front wing contains offices for Mr. Davison, Mr. Deane, Mr. Yeiser, and Mr. Colgan, as well as conference rooms. On the other side of the building next to the audi- torium is the addition that houses two class- rooms and a larger Two-story library. The old library has been converted in a physics labo- ratory now known affectionately as Room 14. One of the many improved assemblies. Mrs. Pierce instructs History of Art class. A senior with his 'Iiftle brofher' The acTual cons-trucTion starred months behind schedule and was further delayed by The crum- bling of The newly buiit walls whenever a strong wind arose. The consTrucTion company remsdied The siTuaTTion by propping Up The walls with 2x4's, but one couldn'T help bUT wonder what wouid happen when The boards were fi- nally removed. IntellecTuaHy as well as physically CounTry Day was growing. Such new activities as The Radio Club, Debating Club, and The eniarged Science Club showed The rising inTeresT in ex- Tracurricular acTiviTies. The SCRIBE received lilee supporT this year in spite of iTs staff plea for liTerary conrtribuTions. Even The promise for The magazine.

The LeTTermen's Club wiih only 19 members gathered iTs forces Togefher To raffle a sailboaT in order To raise money for The sports program. BUT The main contribution To The Treasury was The Pap Club which held several tremendously successful sock hops afier fooTball and baskeT- bail games. Christmas cheer at the Day School The Service Club enlarged ifs membership This year and continued its volUnTeevr work un- der President Tom Dunlap. With a broader range of sfudenfs in 'the club, a wider array of iobs were added To meeT this growfh. T-he Gamboliers continued to reign king among The assembly period activities, Thus dominating the schedule.

Helping To calm The sTudenTs was The annual Thanksgiving ParTy for all of Mr. Brush's sTudenTs. The fesTiviTies include The usual Turkey decorations and The hiT rock and roll song, Plymouth Rock sung by Michaei Menard, Jack Miller and Dal Levick. In order To widen The scope of The studenTs, The schedule was rearranged so as To ingiude a Wednesday morning assembly period for guesT speakers. These men were part of a semi- nar on differenT occupaTions wiTh each speaker explaining his own profession. The Senior privileges were revived This year wiTh a serene efforT by Mr, Deane and The resT of The faculty To establish a Senior Tradifion. From a long lisT of privileges proposed by The Seniors, only a few were chosen To be saTis- TacTory by The faculTy. Though of dubious value, The seniors could now drink coffee during lunch, have Their own lunch Tables, and have Their own class Tie, which was designed by The arTisTic Bill Messer. The old sTage subsTiTUTed for a real senior shack buT was losT when The bleach- ers had To be erected for The baskeTball season. Probably The mosT imporTanT and popular privi- lege was The senior parking IoT exTending To The fourTh Tulip Tree. ConstrucTion had its ups and downs. DedicaTion of Irwin Field This Open House drew more than 500 X-squad Though rather skeptical of their newly ac- quired privileges, the seniors proved more re- ceptive to their added responsibiiities. The seniors decided on originating a big brother program whereby Middle Schoolers and new students were assigned to seniors who advised them in their problems and helped them improve their studies. Another important step was the tutoring program, organized to aid seventh graders at Lyons Junior High School in their studies. All these Lyons boys were students at the special camp last summer at the Day School and had shown an interest to continue their sessions. Most seniors volunteered to tutor in either the morning or afternoon during the week or on Saturdays. Another shift in the changing responsibilities of the senior class was the DAM program, Daily Aid in Mathematics. in this, certain seniors with above average aptitude in math gave their time to aid younger students in their math difficulties. The annual candy monopoly was once again operated by the senior class with 15m profits often eaten up by non-paying seniors, The class stiil managed to fill the treasury with a tidy profit. The only nest the seniors could find! Athletically, 1965 was an outstanding year with an undefeated football season. The only disappointment of the season was the scratching of rival Indian Hill from the schedule. With such a promising team, attendance was greatly in- creased but still lacked the maiority of the student body. The victorious season culminated with the. football dinner on November 19 when a record number of letters and numerals were awarded. The obscure Cross Country team was hidden behind the veils of football but emerged with an undefeated season. Coach Bud Weiser attri- buted the success to hard training and dedication. Under the leadership of Mr. Brush and his call of the wiid, O.K. group, X-squad stumbled through another year with the questionable aid of the Royal Canadian exercises. Although planning to divide soccer into two sections of the different caliber players. soccer had to continue to play in one league because of too few boys to form the needed eight teams. The play of the six teams was aggressive but sometimes hampered by the lack of seniors who were tutoring at Lyons, SinCe all other Cincinnati schools had dropped their soccer program, hopes for a varsity team were dim. Varsity basketball got under way lacking experience and victory was hard to come by. Hopes for a spectacular finale before adiourn- men-t for Christmas were advanced by the genius of Phil Lucht and Dave Rice as they presented Mr. Brush 5 time bomb which exploded on scheduie. As the Dayites exited for Christmas vacation and the halls became empty, the only sound was a celestiai voice vaguely resembling Jack Miliel singing Na, Na Na Na ...

AchievemenT Tests were another obstacle for The seniors to overcome, and The returns of Their December S.A.T scores were as frustrating To the front office as To Them. OTher innovations for The; office To overcome were opTional salad bowls and the McBee sysTem. The basketball Team broke into The winning column by beating Ludlow 62-60, and later beat- ing Park School in the Louisville Tournament. However, they lost To a hot shooting Louisville Team in the finals, 75-64 The J.V.'5 record re- mained unscathed and The loss of many pIayers Through ineligibiIiTy added to Their problems buT helped Them To a perfect season - no wins. The six soccer Teams continued To fight It ouT seemingly well with last place as Their goal. ConstrucTion progressed swifTIy and was com- pleted by February 15 WiThouT much disTurb- ance of The normal school day, Ti-les were laid and' walls painted in a s-horT Time. The office wing was accented by The orange foyer and intricate lighting. Extra-curricularly, The Gamboliers were only Topped by The play rehearsats for This year's per formance, Inherit the Wind . In early January a portion of The Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra performed at The Day School presenTing a pro- gram ranging from classical To popular music. The musicians were well received by boTh The fac- ulty and students as Well as The kitchen staff who had, by happensTance, prepared roasT beef on that day. The Science Club was revived again This year with an enlarged membership under The direc- tion of Mr. Wright. With sTudenT leadership by CHEMI-JBN R E RTA LS m.tm-ms maltmum Oh! Excuse me Mr. Deane. David Rice, the club met every two weeks and their format included talks, movies, and demon- strative experiments. A Radio Club also produced a positive current this year with the organization done by David Rice and Dick Curtin. With small, but enthusiastic interest, the club even managed to set up its own transmitting station at the school. After its dismal failure last year, the Debating Club attempted to make a comeback. Discussions ranged from the Ku Klux Klan to the war in Vietnam and it seemed as though a definite in- terest had been stimulated for debating. How- ever, further investigation proved that the meete ings were only a cover-up for the secret meetings of the Black Dragon Society. The Chess Club also returned to action under the faculty advice of Mr. Mark Spikell and competed in league com- petition. Grazing occultations, under the chief star gazer Mrt Laird, continued to take place throughout the year. TheSe night raids tended to infuriate the farmers on which the grazing took place, and many of the night owls met face to face with the dangerous end of a shotgun. Twelve inches of snowfall brought a two day holiday for the Dayites causing them to prowl about the streets with glee, but once school re- sumed the winter term ended with no further reprieve for the students. 7 b The chess team in daily action.

SCIENCE The Szience department has been long estab- lished in all of HS. fields, and Through expan- sion of faciliTies and excellent insTrucTors 'IT has become a key area of sTudy for many. MrT Gordon WrighT, head of The deparTmenT, be- lieves ThaT The basic aim of science aT CounTry Day is to give sTUdenTs going further in science a good foundation of ope-raTions in advanced placement The deparTmenT aims at giving an education which gives The sTUdenT a feeling of his scienTific environment. The sTudenT should also be able To interpreT his surroundings and realize ThaT science invokes a greaTer varIeTy of principles Than any oTher course. Science inr volves quanTiTaTive reasoning, preciseness, and manual dexTeriTy. This ye-ar's physical expan- sion which faciliTaTes Mr. Laird and his classes also provides another laboratory and opens new doors To proficiency in science at Country Day.

ENGLISH It is hoped that English students have been doing the nine basic actions of schooling for years in the past and will for years to come. These actions include such processes as read- ing, writing, talking, spelling, thinking, and correcting. Students must also analyze, synthe- size, and take tests. We want to be able to understand great writing as well as to communicate our feel- ings to others through speech and writing. To make students desirous and capable of communicating, reading, and thinking in a ma- ture and effective manner is the obiective of MR. CHARLES F. YEISER Williams A.B., Xavier M.A. MR. THOMAS G. EBERHARD Maryville A.B, DEPARTMENT HEAD MR. HAMILTON M. BRUSH Yale A.B., Yale M.A., University of Cincinnati M.Ed. English teachers. These teachers divide The large topic of English down into the many individual parts and use these smaller pieces as aids to analysis of a subiect. Literature, grammer, vo- cabulary, composition, and their alm05t innum- erable subdivisions must be practical so that all work together freely and effectively in their continual use. All parts must be interconnected and useful in the study of another. Throughout the upper school years, some- times an individual topic is studied-asuch as poems or essays while other years a mixture of all the parts is studied-as in the study of Amer- ican literature. All however, are essential in the growth of knowledge through the study of English. MR. GEORGE M. McCLAREY Hobart A.B. DEPARTMENT HEAD MR. LEE PATT!SON Amherst A.B., Harvard M.A., University of Cincinnati M.Ed. HISTORY History at Country Day, headed by Mr. Lee S. Pattison, offers -a wide selection of fields from which students may choose. The main purpose of such courses is to try to get the individual thinking on his own and to give him the tools to work with. Knowing and thinking about man's experiences in the past may guide him in the present and give him a sense of direction that would point out the future. Through the motives and emotions of individuals in the past, the student can guide his individual actions. As we see man struggling for self impmvement in the past, we can have some compassion for those who are struggling today and possibly adopt some incentive for struggling ourselves. The various courses offered ranging from study in the Far East to our own country are taught by the competent three man depart- ment consisting of Mr. Pattison, Mr. Strauss, and Mr. Reid. The goal of this department as stated by Mr. Pattison is not to form the opin- ions of people but to let them form their own. MR. GEORGE REID, JR. Oberlin A.B. MR. CARL A. STRAUSS Williams A.B., Harvard MA. in Ed. LANGUAGE DEPARTMENT HEAD MR. LESLIE G. IRWIN University of Cincinnati A.B., M.A. MR. PETER MACHEN University of Durham BA, MR. JOSEPH P. THESING Ohio State A.B, Throughout the years the objectives of the language department have remained the same but the methods have been changing. In order to further the ends of being able to read, write, comprehend, and speak the language, the prac- tice has been to use increasingly the spoken language even in explaining grammar. The same basic things are, therefore, taught in each successive year a student takes a language course but with a continual broadening and ex- panding of the scope of these methods. Reading, for example, goes from short stories on up to Fong novels. With the emphasis towards spoken languages, the language tab, records, and lec- tures are becoming increasingly useful in the attempt to get the student to write and speak extemporaneously while thinking directly in terms of the lauguage. In order to improve the department this year two new teachers were added to the faculty. Mr. Joseph Theusing teaches the Latin courses, and Mr. Thomas Coates has been added to help in the instruction of the French language. Mr. Leslie Irwin, head of the department, and Mr. Peter Wachen, both French teachers, and Mr..McClarey, who instructs an interested few in German, round out the rest of the department. MR. THOMAS R.

His warm personality and cheerfulness have distinguished him at CD. Ruff's favorite was being starting quarterback on this year's unde- feated football team. When not on the footbail tieid, he may be found dribbling behind his back as a starting guard on the basketball team or fielding grounders at second base for the varsity nine. Besides attaining a fine academic average, Ruff has found Time to sing for the Gamboliers, write for the Scribe, and do volunteer work for the Service Club, Outside of school, Ruff is a member of his church youth group, a summer camp counselor, and an active member of BOA. Next year Ruff hopes to attend either Duke or the University of North Carolina. HENRY PIPER ANDREWS, .IR. PIPER Ever since Piper came to Country Day in the fifth grade, the school iust hasn't been the same. Piper has gotten his energetic spirit into practically everything, becoming known and liked by every- one. In his senior year he was literary editor for the Archive and news editor for the Scroll. Be- tween writing articles, getting honor grades, writing term papers, and other odds and ends, Piper found time to devote as a four year meme ber of the Service Club and the Dance Com- mittee. He also participated regularly tutoring at Country Day and Lyons Junior High School. In sports, Piper played a very active half--back for the Varsity Soccer Team and he was a runner for the track team. When he leaves the class of '66 Piper pians to 90 East for college. ROBERT E. BRAMMER Since his arrival in the seventh grade Rick has contributed to his illustrative class in num- erous ways. Squeak, although being on the foot- ball and track teams, finds the most enioyment on the soccer field where he plays a blistering halfback. In extra-curricular activities, he spends much of his time with the Gamboliers, a5 a four year man, while he has also had flirtations with the Scroll and Archive. Outside of school Squeak is a member of B.OiA. fraternity which he so avidly ioined this year. When at home he likes to tend to bees itheir size reminds him of a little Fiatt and read books on the Civil War. Unfortun- ately his love for this topic does not extend into other parts of American history. A peculiar trait of Squeak is that he likes to date high school drop outs. Well, everyone to his own liking, RICHARD A. CURTIN Richard has made a solid record during his ten years at the Day School both in class and out. While maintaining a respectable grade aver- age, he has concentrated much of his time and effort participating in athletics which he enioys greatly. He has played a guard for the basket- ball team during his high school career and is one of the year's stalwarts even though he has a hard time seeing over the other players. He has shown effective use of a strong arm in baseball as a pitcher, winning for himself the Harvard-Harrison award in his junior year, and being named captain for his senior year. Outside school Dick concentrates all his power into an extensive amateur radio station. During the summer months Dick joins that happy crowd who chase little white bails around the rolling fields. THOMAS O. DUNLAP JR. The five years Thai Tom has been at CounTry Day has been packed with inTeresTs and re- spons:biliTiess His senior year shows The resulTs. He is PresidenT of The Service Club which ena Tails organizing The members into a responsible and spirited group To effecTively give Their ser- vice To The communiTy. AlThough Tom do'esn'T intend To go inTo social work, he does feel The club is giving him a chance To help and meeT all kinds of people. After having The question of whaT is your occupaTional goal Thrown aT him, in college applicaiion forms, his most common answer is a vague inuTernaTional relaTions. Tom's nexT main iob is running and Trying To make money for The Senior Class as iTs President. The Senior monopoly and price-fixing in The candy sales is one of The more proTesTed, buT more profifable ways he does his iob. Athletics is also one of his inTeresTs; he enioyed varsi'fy football soccer, and Tennis. WALTER DEANE In his Twelve years aT Country Day, Walter's main inTe-resTs have been poinTed Towards sporTs. He has won at leasT one IeTTer in fooT-ball, base- ba-ll, soccer, and basketball, In TooTball he was The sTarTing defensive end and The kicker for The undefeaTed '65 Team. In baseball he holds down any IefT over posi-Tion Mr. Yeiser has for him. WaTITer has spenT hi5 assembly periods in both Gamboliers and Double Quartet. In his high school years, he maintained a respectable average and as a senior wroTe for The Scroll. Walter was The hero of The CPS play and was known for his romaT-ic lead opposiTe Debi Brown. Make iT shorT, WalT STEPHAN P. EARLS Coming to Country Day in his Tenth grade year, Pruynne has established himself as one of The more infamous members of his class. His piercing wit, convulsive laughter, punctuality, and his well known realfionship with Miss Sal-ly CriHendon, characTerizes his ebullient personal- ity. He has ieHered in fooiball since his sopho- more year and lens? year in tennis. This year he heads The varsity Letterman's Club and has en- tered many of the school's clubs, including the Service Club and Mr. Deane's new Tuforing pro- gram. His car frequently parked in front of Sally's house, iT appears he has Taken Up resi- dence there. Despite such disfracfions, Steve has managed To maintain an honors average. His hopes are set on Princeton Universify for his college carreer. PHILIP O. GEIER Ill Phil's trademark ai CounTry Day is a friendiy smile and a bright red VWi While maintaining a solid average, Phi-l was honored wiTh the posi- Tion of Edifor-in-Chief of The Archive. In addi- Tion To his laborious duties on The Archive, he was a feafrure writer for The Scroll. A-fhieficaily, Phil was a s-iarier on the varsity baskeTball team afier having played on The reserves for Two years. He has also played on the reserve and Varsiiy baseball team. This boy's winning personality has won him an office in BOA. He has been a stalwart of the Service Club for four solid years, and organized ifs Boy Scoui Troop. Hopefully, Phil's wa-rm personalify, scholastic and extracurricular achievements will win him a place at Wil'liam's College. FREDERICK W.

Again this year Mr. Thomas Eberhard as- sumed responsibility as Faculty Advisor and great- ly helped the quality of the paper. Eight issues of the SCROLL were published this year Nuff Said and The Observer, the traditional feature articles, proved to be the most controversial and widely read columns. News and Sports writers were again chosen by try out tests which they took. As a re- sutt of this, the SCROLL makes use of the school's best reporterst Improvements in copy were also paralleled by improvements in photo- graphy with Mike Menard and Roddy Knoop heading up that department.

Was Bertru-m Cates, the earnest school teacher, wrong in teaching evoiution to his stu- dents? By law he was, but truth was on trail, and Drummond, with the aid of columnist E. K. Hornbeck iplayed by Clark Biem Eshei, crushes, ridicules, and blasts the literal word of the Bible in Their successful attempt to bring realistic truth to the fore. This ridiculing is too much for the emotional, beloved, three times Presidential candidate, Matthew H. Brady. He is physically and mentally thrown off balance by this seeming- ly crushing blow to his pride and he dies from the strain. Other important roles went to Roddy Knoop, who excellently portrayed the Reverend Jeremiah Brown, the fiery standard of Biblical truth; Cathe- rine Prince played the lovely role of Rachael Brown, the Reverend's daughter, but lover of Cates and his idealsi Once again the laughing Mask production was at a high standard and re- sulted in a record breaking sellout.

Leading The team were co-captains Ted Kramer and Vi: Strauss. Kramer played a hard-hitting game at fullback and linebacker, while Strauss was a haltback both ways and led the Team in scoring with 64 points. A great deal of the success must be given to the seniors. Five of them were in the rugged s1arting line that averaged over 185 pounds. The ends were Greg Hague and Phil Lucht; at tackle were Dryden Jones, Craig RuxTon, and Tom Dunlap,- and the guard posiiions were ably handled by Greg Rasmussen and Taylor Simpson, while Tiny Q75T Maundrell was a-t center. The backfield was composed of Ruff Beckwith at quarterback, Ted Kramer at fullback, and Dick Lee and Vic Strauss at halfback: The alert defense, with the assistance of Steve Earls, Walter Deans, John Clarke, Roddy Knoop, and Pete Levinson, gave away only five touch- downs throughout the season while scoring five themselves on interceptions and a recovery in the endzone. Lucht makes gain after pass reception Lincoln Heights The fired up Dayites held a close lead with only four minu'res left. A Lincoln Heights drive put the visitors ahead 12-8 with only a minu1e thirty remaining. Only three plays later a Beck- with To Luc-hT pass put C.D. ahead to win.

Menard, D. levick, VARSITY BASKETBALL As quoted from one of the SCROLLS, Support C. D. Teams Whether They Win or Lose. This is particularly applicable to the 65-66 basketball team which saw slim attendance correlate their few victories. With the loss of last year's district finals five and 2 seniors ineligibilities, the team began the season with little experience or varsity playing time. The season opened at home against the Ma- deira Eagles who proved to be a taller and stronger team than the Indians. Although losing 58-44, C.D. seemed to be putting together a term rather than solely individual efforts. The next two games found the Day School quintet los- ing to both St, Bernard and Ripley. The St. Bern- ard game revealed that CD, had improved as the Indians seemed to be in the game until the final quarter. The Ripley game was the first away game, and it found the Indians facing a hot shooting team on a very small court. Geier hits from the corner. The Blue team put on an excellent perform- ance in the first quarter against Ludlow at home and held the lead to win 62-60. At This point, the team had established itself and had hopes for victories in coming games, After losing by wide margins against Milford and New Riche mond, the Indians again produced a strong ef- fort against Lincoln Heights. The Tigers were greatly favored but the Day School put on the pressure and led all the way, only to find Lln coln Heights take the lead with a few secunds remaining. Two fine passes enabled Dal Levick to sink the tying points and force overtime. With a good defensive effort the Blue team Halftime strategy at St. Matthews fires from the left side against Madeira held the score to a tie at the end or the trrst overtime. However, the second overtime found the Tigers scoring two baskets to C.D.'s one, and the victory went to Lincoln Heights. The next obstacle for the Indians was the Triv State Tournament in Louisville. After an eventful trip down, the Indians beat Park School 39-37 for their second victory. This victory put them in the finals against Louisville Country Day, Lead- ing at half time, the Indians seemed to be on their way to victory, but the strong outside shooting of the LCD team cut the lead to a tie by the end of the third quarter and the final buzzer found Louisville on top by the tally of 75-64. Berna rd game. The return trip found The Kentucky State Police and six inches of snow very hazardous. The rest of The season found the Indians and against Lynchburg away, Kings Mills at home, Indian Hill at home, Columbus Academy away, Loveland away, and the tournament. The team found Lynch'burg's court and officials very in- hospiTaTble and lost but with a strong team effort. The tournamenf was rough for the Indians but strong efforts marked their definite improve- ment in Team play. The starting five usually consisted of Dal Levick, Ruff Beckwith, Phi'l Geier, Mike McCauIey, and Bruce Maffhews, wifh Dick Curtin and Jim Strader often in Their stead. Dal Levick ended up being the top scorer on The 1eam with an average in double figures followed by Bruce Matthews, Phil Geier. and Ruff Beckwith. Levick sinks fying points.

The Indians had 1he nucleus of last year's team back bu? were unable to capitalize on any of Their advantages. A strong Team seem- ed cerTainly in the making as Mr. Tony Strauss led his boys 10 definite improvement bu? mid- years revealed That the team did not include any scholastic improvers. Evidence of Their abiliiy was shown by their strong first halves. They led St. Bernard, Ripley, Loring inmps. New Rithmond, and Lincoln Heights at half time but the Indians were unable to contain their opponents. In many games the J.V.'s hopes were dampered fate in the game by player loss due to personal fouls. Before ineligibility took over, the starting five were Peter Geier, Andy Fedash, Rob Harig, John Clarke and Tom Loring. Along with losing Geier and Fedash, the team Idst their sixth man Rob Harig lays it up. Pope. After this loss Coach Strau55 was forced to go with inexperience and a lack of guards, and found it hard to stay in a game. These ineligibili- ties resulted from both academics and discipline and seriously hurt the chances of a J. V. victory for the whole season. Fedash plays tight defense. 7 8x 8 BASKETBALL Kneeling: D.

The Middle School basketball team was highly inspired by it's new coach, Mr. Joseph Thesing. This new guidance, as well as the availability of good material in both grades seven and eight, produced a solid team effort. Although its vic- tories were not many, the team showed progres- sive improvement and ended up the most successful basketball eam at Country Day in 65-66. The starters consisted of Eric Yeiser, Lee Burton, Mike Henley, John Dunkelman, and Rodney Geier. Four of these are eighth graders with eier the only seventh grader, Seeing much action also were Jeff Heinichen and Jed Nau who came in to help out in key situations. Mr. Thesing's five was the first basketball team to mark up a victory for the season, and they con- tinued to improve throughout. Their fine perform- ances were epitomized by the Indian Hill game. The Dayites, against a much bigger team, were the underdogs, but they stayed within range throughout the game and the final score found Indian Hill on top by only two points. Soccer - with 12 inches or snow to help Ideal conditions for soccer are mine weather and a good field, but such conditions are seldom present. The area of battle is a muddy marsh from which players occasionally disappear from view when tripped or shoved at an opportune time. When this conglomeration freezes later on in the season, it forms a hard, bumpy, and treach- erous surface on which the bail seems T: have a mind of its own, and on which a pe'rson can ruin his ank-Ies if not careful When snow came to add its joy, matters became even more ridicu- lous. If the bail were not lofted it would travel a total distance of about ten feet with even the hardest kick. Snow scared even more people away. The soccer player prepares for winter by bun- dling up in anything that happens to be laying around the locker room; whether the clothes are muddy, still wet, or iust plain foul, the per- son is often desperate enough to wear them. This year's clothes were distinguishable, however from others in that the unique names that em- blazened the colored ierseys of the warriors of past years were gone. In their place were plain colored shirts which did have the merit of net arriving, as the old ones did, when the soccer season was two-thirds over. There was no varsity team this year because there was no team in town 'to play. Dunlap's and Lee's teams led the flock, while Rassmussen, Jones, Kramer, and Lucht spurred their teams to catch up. Mess'rs Pattison, Brush, Machen, and Reid put up with the weather, the atroiously ob- vious fouls of some members, and the continual complaints. All in all it was a typical year.

This year the Spring Fair with all its fun, candy and games made April very exciting. Before Spring Vacation, the fifth grade gave two plays for the spring pro- gram. From March 26th - Aprit 3 during spring vacation, the sixth grade went to Chicago. There they visited all the maior things of interest, in- cluding the Museum of Science and Industry.

On Monday, April 4, school reopened and spring recess officially came to an end, although many students attempted to prove otherwise. For most, that week in early April was a relaxing one since a three day weekend was approaching tEasteU, but Ior the seniors it was a hectic one. Term papers were in various stages from early research teh, Hickm to early completion, and for some reason many seniors were bed-stricken of a very contagious disease. When the due date of April 11 finally arrived everyone seemed to he in goat? shape and highly relieved except for the only absence of the day, Rick .Hinkle. However, after seven days and a deduction of 12 points, Rick was persuaded to grace Mr. Pat with his maSterpiece. With seven months of constant and dedicated voice tuning, Mr. Brush was ready to present his Gamboliers and HQ in a concert with C.?.S. With the excellent acoustics of the gym and the excellent attendance, the combined groups sang a medley of songs from the show Carousel, as well as other selected songs. On Aprii 30,- the Country Day Dance took place. With a theme of ttSpringtime in Paris? the dance committee changed the study The Seniors congregate on the green A scene from Inherit the Wind hall-auditorium into a sunny day on the Champs- Elysees, Two large backdrops, blossoming trees, Business Manager Colgan and garden gates highlighted the decorations. Love- . t 1y chorus girls backed up the music of THEM and the food from Frischgs contented many empty stomachs, Morning assemblies continued to be highlight- ed by excellent speakers. Politicians, judges, lawyers, doctors, and policemen all discussed the merits of their profession and what was involved in their work. One of the most outstanding speak- ers was a surgeon who had done special work in Algeria. As well as hearing a prepared talk, the students in grades from 7 to 12 saw many color slides showing the beauty and customs of the people Cum Laude, one of the most coveted high school awards given for academic achieve- ment, presentation also took place in a morning assembly. With previous members Hinkle, Rice, Lucht, and Mr. Strauss seated on the stage, Messrs. Pattison and Brush proceeded to discuss the mean- ing and honor of 3 Cum Laude award. Members selected for membership in 1966 in the Country Day chapter were Thorne Wiggers, the only senior, and Gordon Deane and Dennis Swaney, outstand- mg Jumors. The annual Spring Fair was again a very successful event With booths varying from food and clothing to sponge-throwing, the students as well as parents and other friends of the school had a festive time. An Italian dinner was served preCBEding the presentation of Ctlnherit The Wind.,, I like softball in the spring A packed house saw the Laughing Mask present a magnificent production of the monkey trial. Leading roles were had by Vic Strauss and Hobby Knoop, resulting from Henry Levinsonis sickness which had forced him to forfeit his role. As soon as the water evaporated from the various sports fields, varsity teams were whipped into shape for early competition. Baseball, under Mr. Yeiser, did not have much returning talent and it was even a struggle for Coach Yeiser to get enough players out to the diamond. Early games saw the Day School nine go down to con- tinuous defeat, however the tournament revived hopes. A first round bye put Country Day against Felicity and the Indians emerged victorious, but that was as far as they got. Tennis had high hopes and most of their hopes were. fulfilled. First singles Bruce Matthews lost very rarely, and the team as a whole were only smashed once and that was by the much bigger Walnut Hills team. Track meets found Country Day very often in the top spot. With a well rounded team, Coach McDaniel also had some standouts. Sam Maundrell set a new shot put record for the school and Vic Strauss set a new school record in thv 100 yard dash as well as in the broad jump. A new sport at Country Day evolved in the spring of 1966. This was golf, under the professional coaching of Mr. Machcn. Using Comargo as their home field, thv team competed with u lot of tough competition. Dick Rust played as first man and Ihv whole team was instructed by the pro at Comargo, Dick Plummer. A circuit judge discusses his profession at an assemply Mr. Brush leads Gamboliers and C.P.S. When college replies finally arrived about April 15, thc- Class of 1966 did extraordinarily well. Members of the class were accepted at such places I as: Princeton, Duke, Oberlin, UVA, Trinity, Will- iams tZL Yale, Harvard tin, Dartmouth, Colby, Stanford, Tufts, Cornell tSL Pennsylvania, Brown, and Hillsdale. With that news, the seniors logged very few minutes in tho study hall. Between tennis matches and sunbathing, however, many seniors did find time to attend classes. The gym stage continued to he qomewhat of a ttshack although only a few traditionalists could he found loung- ing there. i5 Preparation for next year was aiso in evidence i during the spring. Clark Biem Esche was ap- pointed the next Scroll editor by past editor Doug Faundrell, and Phil Ceier7 a66 editor, announced that Dick Schwab would be the Archivejs next editor. Ted Dieuk was elected new president for the Service Club, and all the Classes in the high school elected their class officers for next year. . Activities that took place in May included the Middle School Dance, Junior College Board Achievements, Advanced Place Examinations and final exams. With a Memorial Day holiday, exams had to begin on a Friday and extend til the next Friday, June 3. Graduation ceremories took place at the Country Day auditorium on June 8, with Waite Hoyle as guvst speaker and the mothers sponsored a punch get-logether at the school immed- itely following the ceremonies. After that the seniors had a party at the Miami Club, a ride on the Jubilee, and breakfast at the Beckwithk. Some- time after 5:00 a.m. on June 9, the seniors found their way to a bed. FRONT: T.

TRACK Although CD,s over-all track season was not as good this year as it has been in the past, its major problem was size and not competance. Many of the team members were record holders or con- sistent winners in their events. The Detroit Country Day Invitational track meet pointed out some of our track men as being particularly geod when the select team placed third in the meet and two athletes came home with medals. Vic Strauss, dash and relay man, long jumper, and mulli-record holder, picked up a second place medal, as did Tiny MaundreH who now holds the record for the shot put Somv 0f 1hr other track men who are partic- ularly worthy of note are Peter vainson, an ex- cellent dash and relay man; Craig Maier, CD55 high hurdlrs entry for both the hundred and the hundrwl eighty yard rat'os; Dal Levick, a quarter miler who just missed the record hy a tenth of a second tuml hv will prohahly get it before the end of tho yvaH; Eric Cody, a wry fast distance man; and Charlvs Sawyvr, a sophomore with a very bright future for dashes and relays.

The mile relay was usually a fairly successful venture for the team as run by Rodtiy Knoop, Rick Brammer, Greg Hague, and Dal Levick. In the shot put, Pete Hagist lent his efforts to the team, while Kim Drackett worked with the discus. In the pole vault Reed Russel and Phillips did most of the work, while Charlie Sawyer and Vic Strauss placed rather consistently in the Long Jump. Ted Dieck was CD35 runner for the newest addition to the track entries e the two mile run. A Middle School start FRONT: T. Pettingil, R. Levin, D. Egbert BACK: Coach Wright, T. Dunlap, P. Lucht, B. Matthews, 5. Earls, J. Lazarus, Coach Brush Pettingil serves The Cincinnati Country Day Tennis squad started another promising season this spring. After the usual pre-season try outs and headaches, coaches Gordon Wright and Hamilton Brush arrived at the final squad. This group consisted of: Bruce Matthews, Thomas Luring, Darig Egghert, Jim Lazarus, Thomas Dunlap, Thomas Petiengil, and Philip .Lucht. As reserves the coaches chose Daniel Levin and Steven Earls to represent the school. With flags flying the Country Dayites began their season with a 4 to 1 victory over Creenhills at Country Day. Last year's top singles player, Bruce Matthews showed his tennis. skill once again by defeating his opponents easily. Pettengil and Loring followed his example by winning their matches also. The number one doubles team of Lazarus and Dunlap also won their matches and the number two doubles team of Earls and Lucht also won After such a fine showing the team seemed to be on its way to the finest season yet in the schoolis tennis historyt Yet, ilhiess struck suddenly leaving the Tennis Squad quite the worse for wear. With Matthews and Loring absent, the tennis squad lost to Mariemont. The coaches clearly expressed dismay about the absenses of these key men, yet the team has still shown itself to be a significant threat to teams through- out the city. Yet, Coach Wright still has a lot to he proud of. When in full strength the team has been seen to be per- haps the most meanacing tennis threat which the school has produced in yearst The team has not had a losing season in the past eight years and the coach is expecting n0 deviation from what has become school tradition. With sixteen matches to be played the record stands now at an even 4. wins and 4- losses. The toughest matches, however have already been played and Coach Wright and his team expect fairer hunting as the weather and illnesses continue to dwindle in severity. The tennis team is typical of Country Dayis fighting spirit and are very deserving of just praise in the Archive. The prospects look good.

BASEBALL The baseball team of 1966 looked much better than the team as a result of more experience. 0f the nine starting men, six of them lettered in base- ball last year; these players are; Dick Curtin, Dryden Jones, Ruff Beckwith, Walter Deane, Edson Baker, and Jeff Goldsmith. 0f the remaining three players, two of them played in many of last year7s games. The season started off rather poorly with four straight losses. The real weakness was not in the pitching; the weakness Was in the fielding. The hitting failed too in the first few games; and as a result of impotent bats, the Indians never came close to winning. These first defeats have- a definitelreason be- hind them. One of the main ones was the weather. For two weeks it rained off and on, and thus pre- venting any major practices, Even though handi- capped by bad weather, the team did manage to squeak in two practice games in addition to the games mentioned earlier. The first of the practice games was against Cranbrook, a boarding school located near Detroit; it was played in bitter, cold weather. The other practice game was against Indian Hill, and it served as a warmup game before the tournament. Another reason for poor results in the first few games was injuries. Two of Coach Yeisest starting nine were sidelined for twa weeks. This put another barrier in front of the team, but it was surpassed. Mr. Yeiser had much praise for the team in the first of the season, and he said that the team could be victorious if all nine starters were in good health. His statement was correct, and the Indians of Country Day pulled through with an important victory. The victory came in the second round of the district tournament since Country Day had drawn a bye for the first round, Led by Dick Curtin, this yeafs captain, the Country Day nine edged out Felicity by a score of seven to six. The next tournament game was against Bethel, and the team fought valiantly, but its guard fell long enough for Bethel to coast past. Beckwilh swings against Sycamore Baker charges for first The rest of the season was hard work, and their was much improvement in all departments. Some of the games were Won and somt- iOSt, but the team never lost its fighting spirit. The mvmhors oi the starting team are listed with their respective positions. in the infield tho catcher was Kim Carter; Jeff Goldsmith played first base; second, Ruff Beckwith: Edson Baker on third; and Mike McCauiey and Dick Curtin alter- nated at shortstop 21nd pitcher. The outfielders were Waiter Deane, Dryden Jones, and Stan Dun- bar. if called upon, Ruff Beckwith could be a very effective relief pitcher. Mike Comisar and Doug Thompson were the utility men. Mike played short- stop and third base, and Doug piayed in the outfield. The season7 as a whole, was a success. The team showed a much better hitting average than last year while the pitching, still quite good, stayed the same. Although the team will be missing four of its present members next year, it should be just as good, if not better, as the team this year. FRONT: D. Rust, T. Applegate, T. Kramer, D. Spadafora BACK: L. Pratt. J. Wood, D. Hirschmann, S. Merrel, Coach Machen A second shot with a wood 13 G LF Golf, the newest at Country Day, enjoyed a relatively successful season under the coaching of Mr. Machen. Not knowing what to expect for players, Mr. Machen daringly posted a notice on his door requesting all golf players to congregate in his room at 3 07clock at the beginning of the spring. The turnout includrd hackt-rs who had no idea what a golf club was to ahlc players who seemed dedicated to winning and shootingr a low score. The schedule included matches with Milford, Madeira, Mariomont, Hamilton Catholic, Coshen, Indian Hill, Middleton, and tho tournammt. With Dick Rust playing the first spot and David Spada- fora, Tom Appletgato, Ted Kramer, and John Wood backing him up, the Day School four sliced and hooked around the Comargo Golf course. Coach Machen had high hopes for his team, but was disappointed when he discovered that the services of Dick Curtin and Jeff Goldsmith has been em- ployed otherwise. He had felt they would have played first and second positions respectively if it were not for baseball. Coach Maden demonstrates 14 'ghfl 4:4 7,1 '4 7. iH A sha- !' . Rust pitches out of a trap On March 21, the. team played Milford at Comargo and ended up with a respectable tie, 4V2-4V2. Another victory came when the weather forced the match with Madeira and Mariemont to be called off. Another tie, occured on April 22 when the Indians faced Madeira at Kenwood. The result was again 4iV2-4V2. On April 25, the team faced two opponents, Hamilton Catholic and Goshen, and split for the day. The results: a loss to Ham- ilton Catholic: 4-5 and a win over Coshen: 7-2. Again on April 28 the match with Milford at Terrace Park was rained out. On May 2 the four- some w'as dealt a defeat at the hands Indian Hill, V2-8V2. 0n the same day the Indians bounced back with a smashing shut-out over Madeira, 9-0. Through the rest of May, the team played rematches with Goshen. Hamilton Catholic. Indian Hill, and faced tough competition in the District tournament on May 20-21. A tough match was sandwiched in between the District and the State tournament. First player Dick Rust has scored a low of 4-0 on a par 35 closely followed by David Spadafora and improvement was in evidence throughout the season With the success of the ,66 season, Mr. Machen plans to continue golf and extend the schedule in the coming years. Although the squad has access to a course only one day a week, it did exceptionally well and was enormously aided by the professional help of Dick Piummer, professional at Comargo.

The team was hampered by the bad weather this year, which caused a late start. John March and Jed Nau were picked as captains for this years team. The first meet was with Miami and Milford. Country Day gqt 32112 points; while Miami received 50 and Milford 871A. In the second meet the CD. team beat both Read- inf:r with 61 and Anderson with 28. The middle school was defeated by Loveland by a score of 35 to 56. During the highly successful 7 8: 8 grade invitational, the Day Schoolers failed to score a point. The middle school track stars came back to tie Lockland 50-50. Mr. Holiday, who is middle school track coach, said that this year was a rebuilding year for the several fine seventh graders. This year some excellent performances Were turned in by March and Nau in the tiash, Commisar in the hurdles and pole vault, and John Shertz SH a middle school discuss record. The team also had meets scheduled with Batavia and Indian Hill. After a slow start the team grew better in every meet, and next year the team is sure to continue to improve in great strides. 7 8t 8 Baseball Although the seventh and eighth grade base. bail team of 1966 has had only one win thus far, Coach Layson has high hopes for the remaining games. The team has had a limited number of practices because of rain. but it as steadily im- proved since the change of weather. Mri Lay50n has great respect for the team. He says that the infield is excellent and the team as a whole is working hard. Their hitting is good with half the team having above average perform- ances. He also praises the members of the team for the consistent effort they are making. The weaknesses in the team are diminishing at such a rate that, hopefully, their playing will be up to par very soon. Mr. Layson states that the pitching and the outfield need the most improve- ment, but he adds that both seem better. He says the relief pitchers are more effective now. The members of the starting infield are as follows: first base, Jeff Heinichen; second base, Rodney Ceier; third base Tony Knoop; shortstop, Eric Yeiser. George Ballou is behind the plate with Lee Burton as his battery mate. The outfield con- sists of: left field, Handy Carlee; center field, Mike Simpson or Terry Curtin; right field, Henri Bous- caren. The two relief pitchers are Cordon Warner and Preston Simpson.

Mr. Pattison, the teamls coach, said that all the members of the team worked to- gether to help each other. Though the boys have only played one game, they have gained much knowledge in the basic fundamentals of the game. In the game they have played, against Wasaka Boy,s Club, they brought home a ten to one victory. The game was highlighted hy the excellent pitching performance turned in by Tomlin and Becjord. During the game the members of the team showed that thP hours of practice had played off. The fielding and batting had improved a great deal since their first practice. The team is scheduled to play one more game with Wasaka and two more with Summit Country Day School. Mr, Pattison was very proud of his team this year and is sure that the sixth graders will do well on next yeargs Middle School team; while the present fifth graders will make-up the nucleus of another fine team next year. 17 SPRING 1 9 6 6 YEAR RECORDS 7ih-8ih Baseball 1+h-8fh Baske'l'ball 7111-8111 Track CD. 0 Sycamore 16 CD. 20 Madeira 16 CD. 32172 Mariemont 50 Milford 87V2 3 Glen Esta 5 25 Summit 27 78 Reading 61 Anderson 28 0 Reading 23 30 Sycamore 32 78 Reading 61 Anderson 28 0 Glen Esta 14 28 Milford 29 35 Loveland 56 4- Reading 14 37 Deer Park 30 0 6CD.
