..- ' '1 : '.nl M'.7 w 1 - Cincinnati Country Ddygghool. r The Archive 1967 . DEDICATION Very few schools have the close relationship between student and teacher that we have at Country Day. It is not unusual to see a teacher and a student talking over problems during the lunch period or after school. The old image of a harsh master has disappeared and in its place is that of a friend whom you admire and respect. The class of 1967 wishes to dedicate The Archive to Mr. Strauss and Mr. Eberhard, both of whom have graduated from Country Day and returned to teach in this spirit of helping and advising. Mr. Strauss teaches several varied courses in- cluding the history of art program. He is the coach of several school teams and annually takes a group of students skiing during the spring. Having re- ceived his A.B. at Williams and his M.At. at Harvard he is well equipped to be a leading member of our faculty. Mr. Eberhard, acting as adviser to both the Scroll and the Archive, has brought his ability in English back to Country Day. Both publications have greatly improved under Mr. Eberhardis leader- ship. He also serves as J.V. baseball coach and has worked clasely with many students. Both Mr. Strauss and Mr. Eberhard symbolize the student-teacher relationship that makes our school and unables us as members of the senior class to be proud of the fact that we are part of Country Day. Year In Review With new facilities and the largest student body the school has ever had, Cincinnati Country Day began its fortieth year as not only a place of education, but a way of life. There were the same friends as last year, only a summer older. The seniors had trouble realizing that they were finally seniors and the seventh graders wondered if they would survive among the high schoolers. Yet, once the initial quandaries were overcome, the student body and faculty settled down to what may be termed a most fruitful year in Country Dayls history. There were some notable additions and sub- tractions among the faculty this year. Both Mr. Layson and Mr. Brush had gone and had been replaced by Mr. Buttrick, who had taught at the school previously, and by Mr. Thom, Mrs. Reeves left this year after forty years of service. The student council was scan busy on a collection for her. She was the last of the founding employees to leave, and Country Day shall be poorer with- out her. , euu-y.,.wr H1 m a:v-tr As fall sports began to swing into action: Upper School Hackers were put through strenuous calisthenics and touch football games. The varsity football team had a sorrowful yet hard-fought year, and Greg Rasmussen, although injured early in the season, won state-wide acclaim for his ability on the line, There was one bright note on the gridiron - the Middle School varsity squad went through an undefeated season. Clubs seemed to be the thing this year, and in the beginning weeks, organizations already established and newly born came to life. The Chess Club returned again this year with an expanded membership and continued winning matches. The De- bating Club held debates on Open Housing and Civil Service Jim Pool drew a full house to hear his impassioned defense of the former. Rumors from the Senior Shack were that N ate Laffoon drew a couple too, but not the same kind. The Club even decided to debate the hard-core team of Dohertyhs this year. The Service Club, under the leadership of Ted Dieck, began its most ambitious year ever by adding several new locations where workers could help. The Science Club and Astronomy Club continued their functions with a great deal of student support. Because of Mr. Laird's continued success with his grazing occultations, Mri Dickinson leased a twelve-inch telescope to the school. Are ranging a contest for :1 fantastic prize, Mr. Laird obtained a plan for the construction of an observatory for about $200. The Board of Trustees upset everything by allotting $5000. A Mathematics Club was formed under the wing of Mr. Deane. Even 2: Stamp Club was formed. Gary Pierce thought a Model Car Club would be a good idea, but . . . The Pep Club left for Brown. The publications got under way again this year with Dick Schwab editing the Archive, and Clark Beim-Esche editing both the Scroll and the Scribe. It seems they considered trading jobs for a while until Mr. Eberhard read the first Year in Review. The Strollit determined plans to get every issue out on time were abandoned by those determined reporters who planned that they wouldn't. The Student Council of 1967 seemed to be one of the most active and progressive in many years. Assembly speakers of the first degree were provided. Mr. Ransohoff, representing the poverty program of Cin- cinnati, touched off a student controversy which rocked the school for several days. Both John J. Gilligan and Robert A. Taft, Jr., Who himself attended Country Day, addressed the school in the Council-spon- sored assemblies and thus gave the students a close look at the policies and tactics of two men engaged in one of the hottest congressional races in the nation. Are the bar: really necetsary? of;c to balloon land 1 L On this note, Thanksgiving came to the Day School and all students regretfully rushed home to enjoy their first break. The first taste of what was to come had been taken. As Thanksgiving passed, the Gamboliers gave a vociferous and short assembly one Wednesday after which the seniors de- cided they might be able to do without them at commencement. Application blanks for the Scientific American Paper Airplane contest mysteriously appeared in room fif- teen and were quickly taken by all inter- ested or disbelieving students. The juniors studying, llin the interest of science, took up the practice of flying their K'entriesll before morning assembly. With the end of the first six weeks marking period, it seemed that there were some unexpected developments in that area also. Mr. Thom inaugurated a new grading system for English Twelve. Nicknamed the HRobin Hood theory by the Seniors, it had the policy of taking from the rich and giving to the poor. Poor Robin was confronted by the Sheriff of Nottingham, however, after a few of the rich complain- edi Backing down a bit, he changed effort ratings and confused everyone even more. As the basketball season got under way, everyone, recalling the football fiasco, looked forward to a triumphant soccer team. Mr. Deane snapped into action im- mediately by tearing down the senior shack which was, among other things, an llEye- sore, and a uFiretrap.U Several rows of bleachers were erected in its place to ac- commodate the ensuing mobs of basketball enthusiasts. When Mr. Deane was not making his usual disciplinary announcements, uWould all but the following boys please see me . . or his weekly reading of the tutoring schedule which 'htakes up so much of Non- Western time, he expounded on student morals in our degenerate society. He even stopped the Senior Sweet Sales when he arrived at the conclusion that sweeping the floors did not come under the heading of Director of Studies. Yes! We frequently heard Mr. Deane's dulcet tones. A11, especially Mr. Thom, looked for- ward to a long Christmas vacation, many declaring they would use it to study for exams . . . but, at any rate, the holidays descended on a joyous student body yearning for freedom once again. The Yuletime vacation was seemingly short, but the weatherman managed to ex- tend it a bit. As the city lay paralyzed go and catch a falling star . . . .u beneath a quarter inch of snow, Country Day closed its doors and grateful students stumbled back to slumber. As school recommenced, there was the annual student realization of the impending exams in two weeks. Mr. Thom carefully chose a book for all seniors to read before his exam after making sure there were only five copies in Cincinnati tof course, there are more in New York and he would be- happy to go get someJ The seniors found that due to careful planning the senior achievements fell on the weekend preceed- ing exams. In preparing for this Mr. Pattison quickly briefed all participating seniors on the history of the United States between 1914- and 1967 in four days as- suring them, however, that the test would be factual. To the seniors, dismay, this ominous announcement proved true. Tradition was broken by the admin- istration this year by requiring the students to wear coats and ties during exams. The exams were taken, breath came a little easier, and the seniors settled down to the last half. MI. Lowry, president of the Board of Trustees, then jolted the students in a morning assembly by announcing that the school was beginning a drive for $1,000,000. A new science wing was to be added which cost $250,000. New Lower School additions would cost $300,000. A new indoor activities building and locker room would each cost $100,000 while $250,000 was reserved for . . . ? Seniors with their usual promptness went around asking each other how many books they had read two weeks before the preliminary bibliography was due for their history term paper. The total for the entire class? Five. Tryouts for the annual play were held after exams. Leading roles were given to Clark BeimeEsche, Dick Schwab, Mike McCalmont, and Greg Rasmussen. Oddly enOugh, the play deals With a trial. The Dramatics Society was roundly applauded for this shocking break with tradition. Mr. Deane arose in assembly to an4 nounce that there was to be a relaxing of discipline among the student ranks. In- deed, there was. The seniors felt that their privileges were being stepped upon, but after a time they retracted their sentiment. After all, not that many under- classmen had averages over 99 With all NA efforts. As the winter seemed to be slowly closing, the entire student body looked fondly forward to spring, after a not en- tirely uneventful winter. Mr. Reid found 1967 a special year and topped all lists of excuses with one for mumps. 5L1. At? V ???Ci Country Day;s caste system was revived after midyear exams with the introduction of the grand idea of privilege for the out- standing. For the first time in the modern era, the more industrious and studious members of the student body could look down at those struggling through the mire of English or math courses and grin fiendishly; for these that were hard-work- ing were just beginning to receive little gifts from the administration like two days off per six weeks. Two notes of dis- cord were heard: U bogged-down teach- ers crying for the long week end and 2h the perceptive students proclaiming that the privileges were just an imperialistic trick which would only tighten the pink rope around their sweaty necks. Unseasonably warm temperatures oc- curred around the Day School in late January. Charlie Jones obviously let spring into his heart early and ran into a nice girl in the C.C.D.S. driveway. Rumors are that she was so smitten that she couldn,t move under her own power and had to be dragged away. Upon questionu ing Charlie on the topic, one received his only comment - that it had made quite a dent in his personality and outlook. On this note, spring began to creep in on the campus in earnest.

How this is done and what courses do it most effectively are subjects for many lively discuSSions. Certainly this is a prime goal of the mathematics department. While following a somewhat tradi- tional sequence of Algebra 1, Algebra II, Geome etry, etc., there is a strong effort to cross over the boundaries of these subject areas into other areas and fields in order to show the diyetsified appli- cations possible. lVIathematics is presented not only as a discipline to he studied for its logical structure and beauty but also as a powerful tool needed in the study of many other fields of knowledge. Every effort is. made to help the student pilot his own course through the channels of mathe- matics. He is encouraged to discover along the way the best routes and methods and to learn to avoid the reefs of carelessness and half-mastered ideas. D.A.M. iDzlily Aid in Mathematicsl provides competent student assistants available to help those who Want to understand better what they are doing. All members of the staff are available for extra help during their otit-of-claSS periods. Two tracks are offered leading to College Algebra 11 or Calculus in grade 12. The latter offers the opportunity for Advanced Placement, usually with college credit. The former is designed to prepare a boy for Calculus in college Both courses use college-level texts.

Patrick ENGLISH A question so often asked of English teachers by Seniors who find themselves reading novels Whose titles they would hardly have anticipated i5, HWhy did you choose that book? My reply to this yearTs graduating class at Country Day is that I have wanted to trace a writefs personal search for that sense of security which motivates one, conscious- ly or unconsciously, to follow a certain course of actioh which he finds meaningful and valuable to him. In choosing James Joycek Portrait of the Artist :2: a Young Man, Albert Camusy The Stranger, and E. M. Forsteris Howard: End. and by em- phasizing additional works of Mr. Forster for in- dependent study, I have hoped that we as a group could reflect on those personal and individual aspects of the novels which are often neglected in favor of the novels, more public messages. The two basic forces in these novels are their abstract and concrete realities, and in actual ex- perience, that is to say in the lives of the central figures, they cannot be completely balanced. These are figures who are apt to understand abstract reality at the risk of misinterpreting individuals, yet they cannot ignore the world about them; they stand in apparent contradiction to both worlds. Their reticent approach to practicality is similar to an attitude Forster recalled 0f Goidsworthy Lowes Dickenson, who felt that he was hthe bearer of a message which transcended all actual life.H The precept governing the lives of the major figures in each of the novels we have considered this year has been know thyself; the most difficult re- sponse confronting each of the novelists is always how. Thomas Gerald Eberhard Thesing hu HISTORY The History Department is revising its two year American History program. This yeafs Junior class will be the guinea pigs. They Will finish the more or less chronological part of the course in- cluding their theses by the end of first semester Senior year. In the second semester the class will divide. Those who have demonstrated the ability to work indpendently will be excused from regular Classes. Theywill, as a group, choose two areas of study' the semester; for example immagration as one. Each student will read a short history of immigration as background, Then each will select a topic within this area; such as, Italian Immigration Into New York In Tlu'z 1880's, and do a short research paper of about 1500 words. He will make copies of this paper for all members of the group. Individually, they will take the paper home and tear it apart with written corrections and suggestions, to he followed by a full class period where the author is required to defend his paper orally from class criticism. He then, in the light of oral and written criticism, will rewrite the paper. The part of the class not involved in this proe cess will have regular classes doing in depth studies, spending six weeks on each of three selected topics.

READING A FOREIGN LANGUAGE Few educators would deny that the ability to read With ease and understanding is extremely important in most school situations. Skill in read- ing does much to increase word power, and thereby to facilitate speech. From the ninth grade on, many classes are given two-weck tor longed reading assignments. It is the responsibility of each student to budget his time so that he may read a certain amount every day, and not postpone the entire assignment until a few hours before the hecheance. This long-range method is practiced in many colleges, but with a vastly greater amount 'of material involvedt Here, students are urged to take notes as they read, so that their answers during the oral tests may be as precise and concise as possible. During the second semester, however, students are required to give answers that are much more detailed, answers that show keener observation, answers that create clear word picturest One major benefit of this method is that it allows much more class time to be devoted to drill in grammar, in verbs, and in word combinations that are a part of one's daily conversation; Drill has long been recognized as a sine qua non of language learning, and may be used profitably at any year level as long as the study of language structure continues. Thomas Ripley Caates George Martin MtClarey, Jr. Administrative Assistant SCIENCE What is wood made of? To answer this question, forty-four eighth graders began to heat wood. They collected yellow smoke, white smoke, plenty of black, smelly geek and ended with a test tube full of black, charred material. So what is wood made of? Lot's of things, evidently, but we donlt know what they are. That was the clue to learn how to recognize characteristic properities of material: density, melt- ing point, boiling point, solubility, etc., etc. All this involves a tremendous amount of activity in meas- uring lengths, temperatures, muses, time. Finally, students were able to return to the problem of the composition of wood, and armed with this know- ledge, were able to recognize several substances in wood. This is the first yearls trial of the new I, P, S, llntroductory Physical Sciencel course. About two-thirds of the class time is spent in lab-recording, graphing, analyzing data. It is the realtistic and modern course. We ex- pect that all our data Will contain errors; all our conclusions are stated as probabilities.We will not be able to shake up some test tubes and see atoms; but we will be able to understand better why atoms are necessary and useful to scientists.

Curriculum Committee Since first it was mentioned in the Stroll, there was :1 general student wondering about just what was the curriculum committee. Who did it con- sist 0f? VVhy had it been formed? and that did it intend to do? The newly formed curriculum committee of Cincinnati Country Day is but another of series of steps being taken by the administration to insure that the student at the Day School is kept abreast of the world around him and not stifflecl in :1 prosaic background of outdated scholastics. The Curriculum Committee has no set members. Any faculty member may attend. A date is set and announced to all faculty members who then choose whether 01' not they wish to come. At these meetings. problems and ideas concerning Cincinnati Country Day are brought forth and discussed. In the words of N11: Deane a leading figure in the committee, lilt is 21 constant questioning and probing into the philosophy of Country Day.,' It is felt by 2111 members that the importance of a constant analysis of desired goals in all fields of education is obvious. It is an organization whose duty is never to be satisfied with educational methods and aims, In this way, it is hoped that Country Day will always be aware of the needs and problems which will confront a pupil after he emerges from the high school. So far this year, the Curriculum Committee has brought forth interesting and important points and suggestions. There has been a thorough exam- ination of the motivations of a student, how these can be understood and what the teachers can do to encourage more active participation and thus better achievement. Also, a study methods check list, which would help a boy analyze his difficulties, has been suggested and debated. A list of the students who have endeavored to get extra help in their courses also has been taken and discussed Ilt length Not above criticizing themselves, the faculty has become increasingly aware of the im- portance of laying ground work to prepare a student for especially difficult assignments. Even a course change was discussed as it was suggested that Spanish he offered in both the ninth and tenth grades. ! i i M. Mr. Deane and Mr. Strauss throw ideas around. ' Perhaps the greatest accomplishment of the Curriculum Committee, however, came in the form of three pages entitled Food for ThoughtH Which were distributed to the seniors and suggested monu- mental changes which would be put up for debate in any senior-faculty meetings which might be held in the future. One of the most important sug gestions came in the form of a possible new schedule. hl, Divide the year into three 12exveek periods. each followed by one free week. a. Adequate at-school study time. b. Offer one hour classes; each student limited to 3 courses. c. Staggered Unstead of staggering as- signments. 2. One 8-week summer period followed by 5 free weeks. a. One-and-one-half hour classes; maximum two courses. b. Scheduled athletics. 3. Student must attend 3 out of the 4 periods during an academic year. In short, in providing a more upeto-date and realistic approach to education, the Curriculum Committee will establish a closer faculty-student relationship and will further the effectiveness of the already excellent scholastic atmosphere of the Cin- cinnati Country Day School. It has been established with foresight and concern for the pupils of the school and will continue to serve in advancing the teaching techniques at a pace with the world around it. The Curriculum Committtee is but another example of the superlative education opportunity offered at Country Day. J F and Raising Drive With the coming of the 1967 school year, everyone had thought that they had seen the last of the tractors and construction which had marked the additions of the new library, classrooms, and administrative wing. Yet, before midterms it was announced that a new and more massive program was under way Which would enlarge facilities by nearly a third. Brochures for this program were designed by Chris Crawford and Mike MeCalmont and the drive was on. Mr. Lowry outlined the plan of the improvements to the entire student body. The necessity of a new science wing for Country Day has been evident to all students for a long time. The schedule had to be changed this year because the laboratory had become so overcrowded. NIr. Lairdls makeshift lab was obviously not desirable, for working often became conjested and the chemical storeroom was about a third of the adequate size. Because of this crying need for improved science facilities, there was planned a $250,000 science wing. In this building there would be several laboratories so that more than one class could do experiments at the same time. Also, there would be new classrooms as well as increased storage space for chemicals. It even seems that the seniors would triumph in such a move in that the old laboratory, being left unused, might be converted into a permanent lounge for that class. The locker room facilities were discussed next. To all students at Country Day, the cramped locker room had become a legend. The cement was cracked in several places, and the spaCe which once accommodated about 100 students now served over twice that number. The suggestion was to replace the old intermediate building with new locker rooms and showers. The cost of this addition would be about $100,000. Mr. Lowry tells interested audience in OD. gym about fund-raising campaign. a; L! , f H: .- .ti . -Cw...-5:- I -. I J go w! Mr. Calgtm goes over fund-misiqg plans with Mrs. Lou Pattison. This would present the problem of new housing for the fourth, fifth, and sixth grades. The old wooden building has been considered unsafe in any case, and it was felt that a new intermediate building was needed. This would be added to the southern side of the present primary building and would cost about $300,000. Lastly, a new indoor activities building behind the gymnasium was suggested to augment the pre- sent need of a place for boys to have organized sports when the varsity needs the gym. The new building would have volley ball courts and would be able to accommodate the non-varsity students who could not play in the gym. The cost of this addition would amount to approximately $100,000. Also, an additional $250,000 is desired for the endowment fund for school upkeep and any other necessities which might arise in the future. All added up, the needs came out to an awe-inspiring $1,000,000. The sum is to be attained by gifts from in- terested parents and friends of the school. One $100,000 gift is desired. Then gifts deseent in amounts with levels at $75,000, $50,000, $25,000, $10,000, $5,000, $3,000, $1,000 and smaller gifts. Country Day is growing. From its meager beginnings when the total enrollment was 4-0 stu- dents, The Day School now boasts 550 members. The facilities must grow with the enrollment. It is with this in mind that the board of trustees instigated this, the greatest fund drive in the history of the school. CLASSES Portrait of a Class as seen throught the eyes of One Senior The Day School is a way of life, not always infallible, which shapes the outlook and thought of every person there. From this veritable human factory, has emerged the class of 1967, not always infallible themselves, who mirror the type of thought and training which is given to the student of Country Day. College, of course, is everyone's goal. The seniors have been taught that since the initial hour of entrance. Not that college was always the best thing for the students, but that the School always placed its graduates there lwith the one notable exception who thought Spain was nicer than being a freshman againi. So, with this question settled, the seniors moved on to the more difficult problem of Hhow to get in. In this, the seniors were plagued from all directions. HThe most immature ciass in years: became the faculty phrase for the year as classes commenced. It seems that even the underclassmen held a kind of intangible scorn for the seniors. Perhaps this judgment was entirely correct on their part, for the class of I67 thinks. They do not feel as strongly about the importance of the Hretention of the fact'I as classes previously or as classes to come. Here is a class which enjoys solving real problems with real answers and a class which will be successful. They often rebel when confronted with nothing but memorization and theory. They wince at dates of battles and areas of circles, but never has there been a class so eager to discuss human nature or the problems which confront them now, and which have been confronting man throughout the ages. In short, they are individuals-wthinking and working in the ways in which they feel the most can be accomplished. This is seen in the fact that the Scribe flourished only because of the seniors this year. HGrade Twelveh was almost the only statement ever follow- ing a name. The Scroll also received a shot in the arm from the class of s67. The prosaic humor columns, Nuff Said and gThe Observer, seemed again to bristle with the sharp satire and timely wit of bygone days. Clubs flourished. The Debating Club got off the ground for its second year with lively debates on open housing and the Selective Service. The Chess Club boosted its membership again this year and continued in its winning ways. The Science Club and the Astronomy Club began functioning again and the Pep Club left for Brown. In its place, the Mathematics Club was born with Mr. Deane leading the festive orgy of numbers. Even a model racing club began to brew. All in all, the administration was fit to be tied. The student council of Hthe most immature class in years, was working wonders. The seniors found controversial figures of the first degree to address the students. Mr. Ransohoff, representing the poverty program of Cincinnati, touched off a senior powder keg the effects of which reverberated for nearly a week. To the surprise of the adminis- tration, the student council brought both Robert Taft and John Gilligan to address the Day School. Tradition suffered a mighty blow from the class of i67. The caps and gowns of former years were passed over in favor of navy blue blazers and grey trousers. The seniors went too far, however, when they tried to have a senior shack. All in all, that too was a reminder of yesteryear. The room had wall-to-wall carpeting, lavish furnishings, radio, television, and a flavor which no shack has equaied in many years. With the coming of basketball, however, Mr. Deane smilingly disposed of the firetrapu for those beautiful grey bleachers which no one ever used. The claSs of I67 did away with the iigut courses this year: It seems that the History of Art students were interested in art and that the English Literature students were interested in Eng- lish Literature ta feat in anyonels b00140. ' When they didn't like the book they were reading in English, they said 50. Yet, more im- portant, they said why. As the Christmas vacation drew near, the Scribe made its debut with an article written by a certain senior, which shook the thoughts of everyone -- except the seniors, who discussed it with their usual light, but sharp insight. An entire period of English was spent in dis- cussing and criticizing a short story written out of class by one of its members. In sum, the seniors flabbergasted everyone but themselves. It seems that the vast majority of them wanted to learn for the sake of learning, and wanted to live for the sake of living. Their in- dividuality and originality was rare and seldom appreciated. The class of I67 will pass and everyone will breathe a little easier for they had that ulean and hungry look which is to be watched. This class took from their education, principle, yet went that one step further to produce a unique flavor which will not be forgotten when they have gone. l l 1. i ,g S r a l I I .p. ,0 Clark Beim-Esche When one thinks of a sharp tongue, 3. creative pen, and long hair, one thinks of Clark Beim-Esche. Clark has excelled in the literary field with his Work in all school publications. He is editor of both the Scroll and the Scribe and is also a writer of this yearls Archive. However, Clarkls interests are not limited to writing; he is also an excellent musician and plays his own pieces on any of a half dozen instruments, Taking full advantage of his ability to express himself, he has participated in the school play and is president of the Debating Society. He has done all these activities and at the same time held an honors average. Clarkls creative ability Will take him far. Tom Applegafe Tom, 0r App, has distinguished himself in his class chiefly in the field of athletics. Playing varsity football and soccer throughout his high school years, and becoming a founding member of the newly- formed golf team of last year, Tom is regarded as a valuable asset to the Day School. Aside from the playing field. however, Tom has joined the Service Club and aided the Pep Club. Outside school, he is a member of the Delta Beta fraternity and also enjoys skiing. He is a member of the Indian Hill Youth Group and a regular at Camargo Country 'Club where he swims and plays golf. Tom Block Blossoming in his junior year at the Day School, Tomls sharp wit and enterprising nature have put him in good stead. He participated in the newly- formed Debate Society and was elected treasurer of the senior class. In the literary field Tom quickly came to the fore. He was appointed to write Nuff Said for the Scroll us well as being named Circulation Man- ager and Fourth Page Editor. He was also elected to the Literary Department Of the Archive. Outside of school, Tom is active in the com- munity. He is one of the leaders of the local Student Tutor Enrichment Program iS.T.E.P.L and actively campaigned for John J. Gilligan in November. Tom's energy will take him far. Paul Cowan Paul is one of the more unassuming persons of the senior class. In his six years at Country Day, he has been associated with the Rifle Club and the Bibycle Club and has been a familiar face of the soccer team. Paul is a twq year member of the Service Club and also has volunteered service in local hospitals. He has been active in the Boy Scouts and his hobbies range widely from skin tiiv- ing to contemporary music. Paul is also a member of his Church Youth Group. Scholastically, Paul has been interested in science and has participated faithfully in Mr. Lairdls program of grazing oceultations. Gordon Deane To describe Gordon Deanels ability in math- matics as phenomenal would be an underestimation. He is felt to have eliminated more potential grade curves by receiving perfect marks than any other student in the school. Gordon also has excelled in the scientific departments He is an avid member of both the Science Club and the Astronomy Club. In distributing his interests, however, Gordon has joined the Debating Club and has served faith- fully in the Gamboliers and Double Quartet. He has been known as the mysterious HUnknown FactorH in the Scroll and has been one of the founding members of the Chess Club. Gordon has faithfully served :13 manager for both football and track and plays soccer in the winter. He also tutors at Lyons High School in the special program there. He is easily one of the classls greatest assets. Chris Crawford The most obvious candidate for class lunatic, Chris can be seen in the morning, emerging from his prized Volkswagen looking like :1 throwback to the Green Riountain boys. Chrisls most noted achievements are in the area of art. Long recognized for his ability in this field, Chris has designed sets for the upper and lower school plays and much of his work hangs in the school halls. Aside from his interest in art, he is an avid sports car enthusiast and 21 staunch member of the Delta Beta fraternity.

At our school we are fortunate enough to have clubs and organizations, that have such variety, that every student can participate in some extra cirricular activity that interest him. Each year it seems as though the year book gets better and this year is no exception. This yearis Arrhizve has the same format as in past years; but this year we have tried to capture the unique atmosphere that is Country Day. This years editor Dick Schwah and his writersi Tom Block and Clark ARCHIVE Dirkinsau, idmistmzf Edited, Beim-Esche iLiterary Blade iLitemry Edited, Laffaan iMake-up Edited, The young men of this land are not as they are often called :1 Liltrvst rack they are a race that never yet has been discovered.

Pete Dickenson, working as assistant editor, and Mr. Thomas Eberhard, who is faculty advisor. have put many hours into the Archive. Again this Year the photography has been done by Pat McKenrick and several student photographers. Nate Laffoon has served as the make-up editor and John Westheimer worked as business manager.

The Student Council is an important ingrediant in the formula that makes Country Day. This year under the leadership of Dick Sehwab, the Council worked vigorously to improve the quality of the Wednesday morning assembly. The Council is a forum where the complaints of the students and the desires of the teachers can be reasonably dispossed by the leading students of the school. Here the students have an organization which will stand up for them and allow their voice to he heard. This year the Council has also tried to help other students by discussing with them any problems they have, and also warning them that they have been spotted by council members causing trouble. Through this system the students are warned of probable disciplinary action by the Student Council and not by the faculty.

However at our school the hand of leadership is not limited to the confines of Country Day for through the Service Club members of our student body have excelled themselves in community prob lems. This year, Ted Dieck has coordinated the many and varied activities of the club. This year the Service Club has worked at the Home for the Ineurables where they have published a newspaper and changed the name to the more cheerful title of H1 house, in short they have brought 2: little hope to these forgotten people. The club has worked at a number of other charitable organizations that range from the Condom School to a special boy scout troop. The Service Club has greatly enhanced the name of Country Day. This year a new club has become of age and is in the yearbook for the first time. The Debate Club is an organization that has been needed at Country Day for many years. but only recently has been organized, The society this year has de- hated such topical subjects as The Draft and open housing, Through the Debate Club members of the student body get the opportunity to express themSelves orally and also obtain practice in public speaking, Mr. Machen has served as faculty ade visor and has had the very difficult task of judging the debates. This is an organization that can help many students and deserves continued student support. I'vrmzt row: :Moeller, Seeien, Heinichen, Drm'kett, Lee, McCalmont, Clarke.

The Scroll is the school paper and through it many students have the opportunity to express themselves, either as writers of articles or by writing an editorial. The editors of the paper get a real taste of leadership for it is no simple task to put a paper together. Clark Beim-Esche has been the editor in chief of the paper this year and Ted Dieck has assisted. Greg Rasmussen has been sports editor, While David Spadafora was editor of the editorial page. Tom Block worked hard as the circulation manager, make-up editor of the fourth page and writer of lTNuff Saidll, Nate Laffoon and Rob Harig served as business manager and Jim Meyers was the photographer. The Scribe is the literary outlet of the school. This year under Clark Beim-Esche it has continued its high quality of material. The Scribe welcomes contributions from all students in the school and all articles are screened by the staff of the magazine. This year the articles have ranged from a soul searching essay on the existance of God to a poem about HA Christmas Scene? The essays or poems all show great imagination and prove that there is a great deal of literary talent at school. Since its founding two years ago, under the leadership of Jim Poole, the Chess Club has be- come one of the most popular activities at Country Day. This club gives boys who have an interest in this age old game a chance to play their class mates in organized competition. Besides its inner school matches, it also has played other schools and has brought back a surprising amount of victories. Dick Rust is the team captain while Craig Maier, Jim Poole and Pete Dickenson are the other starting players. Mr. Spikell has served as the faculty ad- visor t0 the Chess Club since its inception. The Gamboliers is the name of the school's glee club and is composed of students from grades nine through twelve. This year, under the leader- ship of Miss Gatch, the singing group has parti- cipated in several concerts and presented a special concert for the students, just before Christmas vacation. The boys who participated in the Gamboliers must give up their assembly period every Monday and Friday, for unlike the other school organ- izations, the Gamboliers must meet twice a week to practice if they are to be successful.

The upper school drama club, HThe Laughing Mask, choose the Caine Mutiny Court-Martial by Herman Wouk, for this year's production. The play was based on the novel, The Caine Mutiny, by the same author and was again directed by Mr. Wayne Gregory of Walnut Hills. The play revolves around the court-martial of Mr. Maryk, played by Greg Rasmussen, for taking command of the USS HCaine from Capt. Queeg, played by Dick Schwab, when he feels that Queeg is insane and unfit for command. The case for the government is pleaded by Mr. Challee, who is portrayed by Mike McCaImont; while the case for the defense is presented by Birney Greenwald, and Clark BeimEsche turned in a journeyman performance of Greenwald. As the witnesses cross the scene of the trial, the weakness in the character of the captain is slowly revealed in a devastating picture of disintegration. The witnesses included three members of the crew played by John Clarke, Mark Matthews, and Nathan Laffoon. Two psychiatrists were called to testify and their roles were filled by Thomas Block and Kim Drackett. Tom Dieck played the part of a ship expert while Gary Pierce portrayed the judge. Other members of the cast were Peter Levin- son, Jeff Heinichen, Jed Nau, Tim Goldsmith, Rick Wiggers, Jim Butler, David Fuhs, Peter Podore, and Peter Leighton. A special thanks goes to Mrs. Earls, who served as play mother. 7-8 Dramatics The Middle School had a very successful play this year. The play, The Phantom of the High School, was directed, as usual, by Mr. Holliday. The cast was headed by Abbot Thayer, who played Rick; and Bill Hopple, Who played Mindy. Other leads were played by Tom Lockhart, Marc Comisar, Steve Fischer, Bill Stulbarg, and Chuck Fullgraf. The play, which was intended to be a mystery, turned out to be a comedy after a number of mistakes by the actors. The beginning part of the third and final act was done twice. The errors of the cast brought on gales of laughter from the audience. In spite of these mistakes, the play was successfully finished and capped off by a bolstering round of applause from the audience. The drama drew a near capacity crowd to the auditorium. During intermission, the Middle School Glee Club entertained the audience with several melodic renditions. Middle School Glee Club serenades audience dur- ing intermission.

VARSITY FOOTBALL As Coach McDaniel said, the football season of 1966 did not build any character. What the Country Day football team did build was a firm foundation for the next season. This year the Indians were plagued with in- juries, colds, and sundry other things unrelated to football. The record this year was a mediocre 3-5, but this record does not show the many close games. Of the five games that were lost, four of them were by one touchdown and could have been won by either teamr The starting teams this year were made up of only five seniors, Rob Lawson, Tom Applegate, Dick Schwab, Tom York, and cocaptain Dick Lee, leaving Craig Ruxton, John Clarke, Greg Binns, Jeff Goldsmith, Peter Levinson, Andv Fedash, Charles Deupree, John Dunkleman, Jeff Heiniehen, Edson Baker, A1 Nippert, and cocaptains-elect Mike Comisar and Greg Rasmussen for the season of 1967. With these letter winners and the others who did not quite play enough, the team of 1967 will be stronger than this yearis team. Special thanks are given to Coaches McDaniel, Strauss, and Wright for their excellent coaching and their patience in enduring religious days, ice skating, occaSSional lack of attention, and all the other things they never saw. The squad this year was very large for a varsity squad, and because of the scarcity of JV members in previous years, there was no JV team this year. As a result of this yearls turnout, the non-starters will get a chance to show their talents on next yeafs JV team. The large number of substitutes should be commended for their fine spirit, and the team will need them next year. In spite of the mediocrity of the season's record, the team played well and even managed to get a member on the aIl-state class A team. With two ironmen and an all-state guard returning. the Indians are ready to take on the world. Good luck in 1967. 51:55 State F ootball Honor Greg Rasmussen, who was the co-captain of the football team, won several city and statewide honors for his excellent job as offensive guard. He received an honorable mention from the Cin- cinnati Enquirer on the all city team, and he also made the all-Southwestern Ohio offensive team for Class A . Greg is most proud of the fact that he was named to the Class AY: All State team. Greg has won a letter in football every year and received the Iron Man Award in his sophomore year.

Under the leadership of Rodney Geiet and Mark Comisar, the Middle School football squad had a better season than any other Middle School team in history with an undefeated, untied record. The team had had an easy season, winning games by the average score of 26 to 4, going into what turned out to be the last game with Anderson. With three minutes left to go in the game, the Middle Schoolers were behind by six points but managed to put a touchdown drive together to tie the game at 6-6. They regained possession of the ball, but the score remained tied with only six seconds to go when Mark Comisar passed to Ed Sawyer for a thirty-five yard touchdown play which secured the victory. The coaches, Mr. Yeiser and Mr. Thesing, felt that the team's defense, with only one touch- down scored against the first string all year, and a great amount of desire should be given the credit for the teamls success.

VARSITY BAS KETBALL The Cincinnati Country Day basketball team for ,66367 is definitely short on material. This is the first year in the career of Coach Dave Mc- Daniel that he has had a squad of only nine boys. Only three of the players are returning from last yearis team. In addition to lacking a quantity of material, the team lacks height. The team,s tallest member is forward Bruce Matthews, at six feet, one inch. The two boys under the boards, Mike McCauley, five feet, ten inches, and Tom York, five feet, ten inches, are iigood leapers, as Coach says, but their lack of height'prevents them from controlling the backboards. Despite these obstacles, all of the boys have shown a high individual scoring potential, and are developing their abilities to the fullest. By playing a Hcontroln type of ballgame, the team has re- mained in contention in most of their games and hopes to pull a few victories before the end of the season. The starting Hsix include Center Mike Mc- Cauley, senior; Forwards Tom York, senior, and Bruce Matthews, senior; and Rob Harig, junior; Guards Tom Luring, sophomore, and Jim Strader, senior. The boys backing up the team on the bench are Chris Connor, junior, and Edson Baker, junior. , , 1.5.5.13, M - WW J-V BASKETBALL The Junior Varsity basketball team has not had a good year when it comes to the won-lost record. Most of the games are close, but the Indians always seem to lose their steam toward the end of the game. However, spirit and initiative on Coach Carl Strauss, Jr35 team remain strong. The men who have seen the most action are Jeff Heinichen, Charles Deupree, Mike Hanley, Tuck Krehbiel, John DunkelmanLEric Yeiser, Scott Baekeland, and Jed Nau. Mr. Strauss at- tributes the losses to lack of height and experience. The experience the J.V.'s have gained this year will hopefully enable Coach McDanieYs future varsity teams to win more games. Front row: Yeiser, Slowik, Dunkelmzm, Matthews, Nnu. Serum! row: Gantt, Baekeland, Hanley, Mr. Strauss, Deupree, Krehbiel, Heimchen. D '7 d an ' 4! 7th and th BASKETBALL The byword of this yeafs Middle School basketball team has been uwork. Although small and inexperienced at the beginning of the season, they were able, by practicing with Coach Thesing during vacations and having a lot of desire, to Win ball games and come out with the best record of my Country Day basketball team. The starters for the team were Marc Comisar, Hurry Jackson, Tom Feige, John NIintum, and Rodney Geier. the captain. Dick Geier and Bill Stulbarg also saw action when Rodney Geier was side-lined with an injury. An innovation for the Middle School this year was a seventh grade team designed to give the younger boys who do not usually make the varsity a chance to get experience. Although the team did not have a good season, it did accomplish what it was designed to do, and it is hoped that by having a seventh grade team the Varsity teams of the future will benefit.

The majority of the high school students have always played soccer, but in order for a sport to become a varsity sport the team has to play at least four games with other schools; this had been :1 problem since Country Day was the only school in the city that played soccer. This year however, Saint Xavier restarted their program, Which had been dropped because their coach left, and the Columbus Academy said VARSITY SOCCER it would like to play; so the soccer team played both schools twice. This yeark team, according to Mr. Machen, is the best team Country Day has had in several years. The varsity for the first time has practiced together all year while the rest of the soccer players divided up into four intramural teams that were running neck and neck all year. It is hoped that soccer will soon become one of the major sports at Country Day on an even plane with football, basketball, and baseball.

Lower School Year in Review With 330 students, three new teachers, many field trips, and a variety of assemblies, no one could doubt that this was to be the best year ever for the lower schoolr During the first week of October, the sixth grade went to Camp Kern to take part in their annual nature program. For this one Week the class participates in an intensive study of the World around them. Towards the end of the month, the students of the lower school had an assembly, given by Mr. Ewers of the Natural History Museum, on fossils. The month of October also meant that the Fall Parents Night was held! On this night the parents found out why they could not help Johnny with the new math, or they were able to meet that new teacher who likes every student except their son. With the coming of November, the students packed away their campaign buttons saying, TlIf I were twenty-one Pd vote for so and so, and every- one enjoyed the premature snow holiday. In the middle of the month, the music department held its first program of the year with every grade par- ticipating in some fashion. There was also the clothing and toy drive for the Hamilton County Welfare program, which collected more articles than ever. November heralded the first edition of the TTDayly and also the long over due Thanks- giving vacation. With the advent of December there was a special assembly given by a Miss Gibbs who drama- tizes stories. During this month the lower schoolers had their 'own dramatic presentation with the Christmas plays. The first grade put on its annual pageant while the sixth grade presented The Saint and Pageant of Singing Stars. The months of January and February were spent taking exams and field trips. The highlights of the two months were the French play and the day off for a teachers, conference. March and April made up for what was lost during the past two months. There were two lectures: one on adventures in the wilderness and another on the art of glass blowing. The Horace- Stuart Childrens Concert Fund sponsored three performances of the LaSaIle Quartet. The fifth grade presented iiRip Van WinkleH as the spring play. In May there was the Poetry contest for the fifth and sixth grades and the final music program. Of course. no May would be complete without the lower school annual farce known as the fathers and sons day. During the year each student visited the Art and Natural History Museums, the third graders enjoyed the Childrensl Theater, the fourth-sixth heard the young peoples, symphony while the same grades also visited the library.

The quiet relaxation Gite you kiddingh of Spring Vacation was guillotined by the inundation of work. The leisurely weeks be- fore vacation had mutated into late varsity practices, incessant running, plodding over fairways and tall weeds, and running up to net. Quite a few juniors zmd seniors were caught with blank paper and rushed to scrawl out meaningless words of detail. 0, history teachers, beware of the end of April, for your minds will then be dulled by tens of thousands of words and long hours of reading. Spring brings funny weather, but why can't it make up its mind whether ifs winter or summer. Any way, another Spring and another year is passed, thus bringing the world closer to doomsday. The first of the many happenings at Country Day was the Spring Fair, but this year it was changed, with no visible drop in attendance. The change was one complementing the aura of know- ledge present this year. Those attending saw the talent show and maybe they even stayed for the sock hop afterwards. featuring the music of The Dnuplrine Sfreer Blunt. The Imoming assemblies continued with their fine speakerS and interesting topics. The culmin- ation of these assemblies was the one by Jim Pool on southern Russia. The audience was very attentive except for a couple of rude Students who were quickly quieted hy the omniscient faculty. The majority of students decided there was :1 similarity between southern Russia and Cincinnati; small world, isn't it! i I Spring sports provided great opportunities for the active, competitive, and lazy. The four varsity sports e baseball, track, golf, and tennis ... had endless possibilities for the hardworking 0r talented. Few veterans were talented enough to loaf. Mr. Yeiser designated a year of rebuilding, and hope- fully, baseball will be better next year. Expunging a couple of the games from everyonels memory files will take some mighty fancy playing. The trackmen did almost as well in the district meet. Both track and baseball did have a couple of Wins; so their seasons were by no means fiascoes. An actual explanation was that their schedules were extremely tough. Golf and tennis fared better. Mr. Machen's team was very successful, thanks to the steadiness of its first two players. The tennis team was saved by their singles men but gave the younger members much experience playing doubles. Hackers was still going strong, offering the op- portunity u to the daring e to break the rules. Sneaking in at Aprills end was the Annual Country Day dance, this year featuring The Chosen Lot. The theme this year was the Casino with decorations made by the seniors, mad artist, Chris Crawford. Due to governmental control the dance ended at 1:30 instead of its traditional 12:30. Starting off May were the Achievement tests that everyone loves so, and soon after the Advance Placements warmed the juniors, hearts With its advent. Such beauteous things make one glad to be existing in this world. C1035 award-winning scientist - Mr. Laird. Prosecutor McCalmont grills witnexs Clark. Taking over where Hagist left off! The editorships were handed out this year with the usual promiscuous attitude. The Archive has Greg Rasmussen as editor-in-chief; Jim Butler, make-up editor; Jeff Goldsmith, literary editor; and Jeff Heinichen, business editor. The Scroll was usurped by David Spadafora and his staff: Greg Rasmussen! managing editor; Jeff Goldsmith, editorial editor; Mike Comisar, sports editor; Rob Harig! business editor; and David Fuhs and Jim Mixter, circulation editors. The Scribe leadership was stolen by Eric Cody and his wild herd of advisors. The end of. May brings new revelations and newly acquired knowledge, It is truly amazing that the whole student body can be so interested in their subjects that they will take time to try to please their pedantic teachers. Unfortunately, Mn Thom had to go back to New York because of a sick relative, or something akin, and could not give the seniors their final exams. The exams this year were divided by a much lamented Memorial Day holiday. The exam period ended on June 3 which the students gladly accepted. Graduation was the day of June 7, and it brought about a day of miracles that proved hope is not dead The senior class actually received their diplomas, which they accepted relunctantly tknow- ing that it meant they would leave the school foreverl. The Archiw wishes all students good luck and hopes that the fiddlebums watch out for their fingers over the summer. Indian Hill band fill; the gym with music.

IWW BASEBALL This year the varsity baseball team was rebuild- ingt With only one senior on the squad, there was not much experience. The team began its season with :1 two and three record. The two wins were against Park in a doubleheader at home. Mc- Cauley struck out fifteen batters in the first game, and Carter got credit for the second. The three losses were to strong Sycamore, Lockland, and Loveland. The usual starting nine players were, in order of position, Me Cauley, Heinichen, Goldsmith. Yeiser, Fedash, Carter, Dunbar, Clark, and Simp- son. Carter and Clark were the relief pitchers. The most played subs were Harrison and Ward Managers were Ach and Mc-Quoid. The fielding and hitting this year, for the most part, was not good; however it seemed as if the Hrookie starters were improving with each game, Varsi'l'y Baseball Quite a few errors were made in the infield the first few games, and many unearned runs scored. Mr. Yeiser worked on this in practice period. The outfield was also weak, but improving. Some of the teams losses could be attributed to the injuries of the players this yearr Edson Baker, the usual starting third basemen, tried to play dermatologist, and Jeff Heinichen injured his shoulder in practice Even though the losses out-numhered the wins, Captain McCauley kept the team fired up through- out the season. All of the members of the team had fun and learned :1 lot about baseball. The team is now getting in shape for its first city tournament game against Williamsburg. The team has already beaten last year's won-lost record, and Mr. Yeiser has high hopes for next yeark: more experienced squad. Back Row: B. McQuoid, R. 11611, S. Dunbar, C. Deujaree, P. Mendermn, J.

Many of last year's varsity trackmen graduated from 'CD; it was important this year to mold a team made up of many men not formerly on the Varsity Squad. Coach McDaniel expressed confidence in this new material, although this yeaHs record may not have been as good as in former years. The various trackmen worthy of note were Craig Ruxton, an outstanding high jumper; Craig Maier, Fritz Hagist, and Evans Harrell, three fast hurdle men; Dick Lee, Rob Lawson, Peter Levin- son, and Frank Simon, all fast spring and relay men; Ted Dieck, Eric Cody, Stuart Dornette, and Ted Piker, strong distance men; Kim Dracket and John Scherz, shot put and discus men who have a bright future in these events; Jed Nau and Mike Wood, freshmen high jump men with great potential; Tom Phillips, a promising pole-vault man; Greg Rash mussen, a very strong sprint man; Charles Sawyer. both a good broad-j umper and a fast relay and sprint man; Mark Soike, a sophomore high jumper; Dave Horn, a man who shows promise as a distance runner; Tony Dreskin, Bruce McDaniel, and Luther Black, men who run the quarter and par ticipatc in various relays. Varsity Track Those who were new to track this year were placed on the Reserve Squad, which participates in meets when visiting teams bring their Reserve Squads. Those on the Day School Reserve Team are as follows: John Crawford, Tod Footc, Phil Jensen, Dave Soike, Dan Stevenson, Reed Beck- jord, Peter Brown, David Fuhs, Henry Gale, Dan Hoffheimer, Jim Mixter, and Rick Wiggers.

TENNIS The Cincinnati Country Day Tennis Team, headed by Coach Wright, started out inexperienced this year. Eight of the ,66 top ten starting men have left. However, the top two last year, Loring and Matthews, bring a gleam of hope. These two are top rank players in the city, with Matthews usually playing the first singles slot, Wilson Boswell won the third singles position, being the only other man on the team With any experience, even though he has never played varsity tennis. The doubles are picked each game basically from five sophomores. These five, Jamie Elder. Tuck Krehbiel, John Hauck, Robbie Garrison, and Mark Matthews have had especially bad luck this season and their record is not too impressive. How- ever, with some experience plus Mr. Wright's coaching ability, they should improve. Country Day has maintained a winning season for the last ten years, but this year it will be harder than ever to do so. In most of the former years the wins have been close, such as a three to two score. The pressure is on Wilson mostly. because it,s usually his match that will decide the final outcome of the meet, and so far he has done very well. This year, more than ever, games will have to be played strategically, like going up to the net more often. The schedule opened with Purcell, which has two excellent singles, and lost three to two. But then CD countered with a four to one victory over Tennis f Luring ser'yes a smash. flintthews NIadeira. The next day, in a practice match with Arlington's second team ttheir first team is first in the statei and minus Loring and Matthews, we lost five to zero. But again we came back with 2: win over NIOCller, three to two. Then we beat Highlands, three to two, also, with Matthews scoring a golden set trio points earned by the oppositioni. The next two matches, Bellevue and Walnut Hills, two of the best teams in the city, were lost four to one. Back Row: Mr. Eberhard, T. Luring, J. Hawk, C. Kreiibiel, B. Afntfhy'ws, Jilin PVriglzt.

GOLF The golf squad, coached by coach Machen. has found a successful combination of players and though the '67 season is only half over, the team is sporting the best record of any CD. team with :1 record of 5 wins and 1 loss. With three returning letterinen and 15 others trying out for spots on the team, the squad has not been lacking in either ability or desire among the players, The players in order of their positions are Rust, Spadafora, Comisar and either Applegate, Rouse or Gantt. Rust, who won the junior meet two years ago, has shot consistently in the low forties with a low of 39. Spadafora, showing the form of a golf pro's son, has also shot in the low forties and is fighting for the number 1 spot. The others give the team depth and allow a strong back up to the first two players. The season started off with a 9-0 victory over :1 poor Lockland team whose players failed to break 50. Next an away match was lost to Ham- ilton Badin 9-0 but :1 return match was won by Country Day 8-1 breaking Hamiltonls winning streak of 30 wins. Milford was the next easy C.D. victory which was won without the services of either Rust 0r Spadafora. Two other easy wins came at the expense of Goshen and Loveland by scores of 9-0. The second half of the season should be more challenging because of teams like Indian Hill and lVIoeller and the state and district finals the team will enter. Thanks should be extended to Dick Plummet and the rest of his staff for their help in practice lessons and the use of Camargols course during matches. With this help and Mrt Machetfs un- dying efforts. the team should finish with a re- spectable record despite its youth. D. Sfmdafom, T. Rouse, A. Afmlegnte, R. Schwnb, J. Gantt, D. Hirschmrmj H.

Mr. Irwin stands a good chance of bettering the results of last yearls team, but as yet has no way of predicting what their final record will be. The starting lineup for the first game was the following: lCurrell at pitcher, Minturn as catcher, Simpson at first base, Sawyer 0r Stulbarg at second base, Rod Geier at shortstop, Going at third base, Shuster in left field, Nau in center, and Bouscaren in right field. 7-8 Baseball 7 8: 8 TRACK 'IThc 7th and 8th grade track team this year is one of the best ones I have coached, so says Mr. Hollidny.

It has lost only one meet against Bntavia. 4454. Future meets will he with Goshen, Indian Hill, Anderson, Glen Este, Reading, New Richmond, and the Tri-Stzlte Truck NIeet.
