s f Nfl! gZDWfI,1'6 1' Q, ja V5 Walter Hinton, '63 THE SPIRE O9 COUN7.o N I- : . 0 5- v it 02 5 - -Z' 944 00 0 0 ' 1925 ' Published by the Ninth Grade of the Greenwich Country Day School Greenwich, Connecticut G.C.D.S. in Retrospect From its small beginning the Greenwich Coun- try Day School has grown to such an extent that enrollment is now over 680 students. There have been many changes in recent years, and the pres- ent classes are a far cry from the first classes, held in 1926, but we like to feel fand we are sure justifiablyj, that despite all the modernization and enlargement of the school, there still remains the friendly and warm feeling of tradition which has always pcrvaded our hallways. In The Spire for 1963, for the benefit of those who feel that this aura has been lost or momen- tarily misplaced, we offer a reminder in the form of figures on the section pages with whom the first faculty members may well have had to cope. Their manner of dress may be different, their forms of mischief and malice dissimilar, but in- side they are the same as their counterparts who now grace our noisy halls and pester our over- worked teachers. Mr. Grant, a veteran of both ages who had to cope with the problems and mis- deeds of our fathers in 1932 now must handle us. He will undoubtedly recall the incidents re- corded in the headlines on our section pages. These events are representative of his initial year at GCDS, on both the school and world scenes. Take it from him, times and clothes may change, but kids don't. 1963 marks the fifteenth year of The Spire's publication. Throughout the year our efforts have been directed toward producing the best yearbook yet assembled at GCDS. We sincerely hope we have succeeded. The Editors DEDICATIQN To Arthur E. Grant whose informal manner combined with firm dis- cipline has been invaluable to Middle School students for over thirty years. His interesting reading courses and ever-ready assistance will always be remembered, as will his graphic stories and explanations of ancient peoples, which in- variably open wide the eyes of his students. All who have viewed the underside of his formidable punishment deskil will remember the anxious moments spent beneath it as most memorable ones. From his rooms in the Ritz he has watched GCDS grow from a handful of students to the present 684, and he has taught two genera- tions of numerous families. His interest in orni- thology and botany has been transmitted year after year to young people who annually count birds and bring in specimens of plants for identi- fication, and the beauty of the campus has been added to continually with the Arbor Day plant- ings Linder his direction. It is with great pleasure and many thanks that we dedicate The Spire of 1963 to Mr. Grant whose warm heart and agile mind have played an important part in the lives of all the students who have braved the perils and reaped the benefits of the fifth grade under his watchful and benevolent eye.

N5 VX Ninth Grade - top of heap 'l'he Ninth Grader at Country Day occupies the same relative position in his own school as do those in their fourth year of high school or col- lege. 'l he curriculum is tar more demanding than in any or his previous years, and increased em- phasis is placed on extra-curricular activities. ln his spare time, however, he sticks in a min- ute ot study! ln English, a bi-weekly composition is required, interspersed at regular intervals with book reports on outside reading material. Gram- mar is offered once every week, along with vo- cabulary and reading. Second year algebra is undertaken by each stu- dent. Factoring is reviewed, along with poly- nomials, and synthetic division, before tackling complex numbers. Everyone attempts to decipher Latin and French twhich both are often thought to be an- cient Sanskritj. Through the annals of Roman history, with Caesar in Gaul, or on the streets of gay Paris, foreign languages are attacked with an unequaled fervor. Each Ninth Grader chooses between biology and ancient history as a fifth course. Biology is taught in five class periods a week, plus one pe- riod for observing animals and plants in the lab- oratory. Ancient history is also taught in five class periods, and students of this course try to understand the intricacies of ancient civilizations. Doc Davis and those funny little glasses. Altogether now - one, two, three. lYO1'1Cll'1ClSSS, groaning and grinning their way through these courses, is most rewarding for all Ninth Graders, by their own admission. Added responsibility for some appears as Ninth Grade Representatives, as well as principals in the operetta. Publications were attacked with zeal and are finally completed. The Ninth Grader has a responsibility to him- self, the school of which he is a part, and the people around him. Ninth grade at GCDS is add- ed responsibility, new and better privileges, more fun, and a changed outlook, but most of all it is the opportunity to be at the top of the heap after a long, hard struggle, before becoming just another guyv in a new school. The Ninth Grader looks toward the coming years with mixed emotions and a touch of sad- ness. He finds to his surprise that he will miss the old Country Day way of life, although he knows its spirit will remain with him always. He dis- covers that he may just possibly miss Doc Davis and his menacing laugh and queer little glasses, perched on the end of his nose. It is funny about those glasses, he always seemed to be looking down at his poor, petrified students with a superi- or l've-got-you-now expression. The Ninth Grader is certainly a paradox. He is, he thinks, misunderstood, maltreated, under- privileged, and even starved to death. But he loves it. ffB0b,, Born-Jan. 11, 1948 Entered GCDS-1953 Taft Football-7th, 8th, 9th, GU Hockey-7th, Sth, 9th, G Baseball-7th, 3rd Lacrosse-Sth, 9th, G Choir-Sth, 9th Operetta-9th, Chorus EX Multis Black Marcus Born-April 28, 1948 Entered GCDS-1961 Choate Football-Sth, 9th, G Basketball-Sth, 9th, G Tennis-Sth, 9th Choir-9th Operetta-9th, Chorus Alumni Bulletin Black Honor Roll-9th, 1 term, AU-1 term AY!

Full Schedule a Challenge To Upper Schoolers At the beginning of the fall term, a tough schedule loomed berore for the seventh and eighth graders. The seventh was to begin their first year in the Upper School, and the eighth had to attack their studies in earnest, since now their records would be sent to the boarding school of their choice. The first year Latin course proves to be very demanding for the seventh grade, while the eighth grade, old hands at the language by now, finish the first year book, and the more fortunatefilj ones start the first book of Caesar. Reading for interpretation is a confounding but valuable experience for the seventh grade. Adventures in Reading, a book of short stories, prepares them for The Human Comedy, a novel which they read later in the year. The eighth grade begins its year with Dicken's Great Expec- tations, followed by assorted short stories and other novels. Grammar, spelling, and composi- tion are combined into one class, and students groan when they learn that, as always, a composi- tion is due every week. Mathematics, although harder than in previous years, becomes much more interesting, as the seventh grade delves further into the basic prin- ciples, and the eighth grade starts elementary algebra. The Story of American Democracy, usually known as SAD Cget itlj, gives the seventh grade a good picture, both overall and detailed, of A- merican history, while the eighth begins its course with a study of Central and South America. A two-day-a-week French course is added to the curriculum of the eighth grade, and many students just can't understand Mr. Nicholsonis gyrations and gestures. The Upper School Faculty does its best to make the seventh grade welcome, and to prepare the eighth grade for their ninth grade year, and, if the quality and the attitude of the students are any indication, they certainly do a wonderful job.

Two new teachers greeted the Middle School students this fall: Mr. Woodhall in the fourth grade, and Miss St. John in the third. Mrs. Trum- ble, also new to GCDS and an apprentice teach- er, joined Mrs. Magee and Mrs. Burnes in the remedial department. An 8:20 chapel for the third through sixth grades begins the day. A brief assembly program follows chapel, and at 8:50 classes begin. One exception to this schedule occurs to allow for Friday plays. These assemblies start at 9:00 a.m. This change in schedule was brought about so that the children do not have to come to school early to prepare for the performances. The first play of the year, given by Mr. Griswold's class, showed the humor behind the financing of Col- umbus' voyage. Equally fine performances by other grades followed at bi-weekly intervals throughout the year. There are three classrooms in each grade, and the boys and girls receive most of their instruc- tion from their homeroom teacher. Reading and, in some cases, arithmetic sections are grouped according to ability and performance, otherwise the regular classroom grouping is on a hetero- geneous basis. Art, music, printing and shop classes are also an important part of this basic schedule, and stu- dents also have one period each day in which to start work on their flood of daily homework. All grades now have annotated reading lists which help the student immeasurably in choosing books for leisure reading. The audio-visual de- partment, under Mr. Griswold, adds to the pleas- ure of history, geography and science with its collection of over three hundred film strips. As always, the children of the Middle School participated in the annual clothing drive for chil- dren of needy countries and in the UNICEF and Red Cross drives. The children also police the school grounds and care for their homerooms. While more than 250 students are currently enrolled in this department of Country Day, the Middle School has retained the flavor of the traditional homeroom type of school, with em- phasis on the language and arithmetic skills. i RADE ROW 1: Murray, Petersen, Worth, Hornblower, Gagarin, Fish.

Rain or shine-food comes first! Lower School Tackles Three R's For the first time in the broad realm of their experience , the four-year-olds broke away from Mamas apron strings , and advanced into the strange world of pre-school. This first taste of school life at GCDS proves to be a year of strict discipline, of learning the perplexities of making friends, and of getting along with others. After loudly practicing the Christmas songs to be sung to the Upper School, it sure is tough to be extra quiet, let alone to sleep, during the 10:30 rest period. In art, the four-year-olds discover great fun in their new creative pastime. Here, boys and girls draw with crayons, produce masterpieces in clay, and indulge in the most popular of the arts: finger painting Q which is seldom performed entirely with the fingersj. Momentous changes have been put into effect for the five-year-olds. They are now participating in the Lower School's program of plays and as- semblies, heretofore considered beyond the abili- ties of the industrious 5's. In addition, they are given more reading and writing. The 5,s not only have to learn the alphabet, but to write their full names as well! As if this were not enough, they must also be able to recognize, count, and write all the numbers from l to 100. Even with a cur- riculum as difficult as this, the 5's find time to take their traditional field trip to the old Fire House, an adventure one seldom forgets. Their tight schedule also allows time for natural science walks, on which they gather flowers, turtles, snakes, poison ivy, wet feet, and other specimens for study in the classroom. The first and second graders have embarked upon a new program of gymnastics periods. Once a week they meet with Mr. French to improve their coordination and to become better prepared for later athletics. From a scholastic viewpoint, last yearis five-year-olds are in a different world. The privilege of having one's own desk comes only with the responsibility of keeping it perpetu- ally clean. ln addition to being the first year of the horrible rigors of homework, first grade is the year for the perplexing task of learning how to write in indecipherable script. The second graders broaden their thinking and discover new adventure in their social stud- ies course. Their study concerns people and places: the Pilgrims, foreign lands, and foreign customs, and history centered upon the American Indians. By this time second graders are required to write compositions, which spur the imagination and, hopefully, promote literary traits. The sec- ond graders are also confronted with more ad- vanced music and more creative art than ever before.

Pianists- mezzo sharp or f1at ? To meet the ever-increasing enrollment, three new teachers joined the piano department this year: Mrs. Eck, really a former member of the music department who returned, Mr. Anderson, a recent student in Vienna, and Mr. Zumbro, a part time teacher and graduate of the Julliard School of Music. Although some of the students proved to be really sharp , others were what a musician would call flat , or in other words, mezz0 lazy. But sharp , flat or mezzo'i the teachers put everything they had into teaching their students the difference between major and minor. As the year progressed, the students who had memorized pieces played for the morning assem- blies and occasionally there was a duet. In Feb- ruary came the mid-year exams, and all the piano 62 students were in a frenzy because they had to be tested by a teacher other than their own. But like everything else this too passed. Woebegone! A few days after their return from spring vacation the piano students had to prepare for the recitals to take place in May. To top it off there were six recitals because of the large number of stu- dents taking piano lessons at school. The six re- citals came, and, as usual, they went smoothly as ever, thanks to Mr. Bartholomew's and all the other teachers' coolness of mind during this time. A great aid to this successful year was the ad- dition of two new piano studios in the Upper School, which increased the number to five. But the greatest aid of all was the patience and under- standing of the music faculty with the students of the school. Sibyl Sanford and Alice Hieatt play the Minuet from Schubert's Fifth Symphony.

A large staff was posted on the wall of the Middle School music room, and each line was separately labeled: effort, consideration and at- tention, note values and melodic dictation, rhyth- mic diction, key and tune signatures, and sight reading. As each class successfully completed the requirements on the different lines, the home- room teacher's name was added. This provided competition, great enthusiasm and quick incentive to learn the fundamentals of music. The primary and lower school participated in a program including melodic dictation fscale linesy, the writing of scales, the study and recog- nition of rhythms, reading from the board, note singing, and creative rhythms. The first exhibition of these new approaches to music was the annual Christmas sings which took place in the week before Christmas. The four and five year olds' program included solos, duets, and quartets, as did grades one and two. A trio composed of Ann Gibson, Gay Wilson, and Michelle Sutter, all second graders, partici- pated in the Upper School sing, pertly singing That's What I Want for Christmas . The Mid- dle School sing was more of a group endeavor, with the fifth grade chorus singing, While By My Sheepv, and grade three and four joining in Noel, Sing We Now . In accordance with GCDS' wish to give stu- dents every chance to display their musical tal- ents, voluntary soloists, quartets, or groups were given the opportunity to perform every Tuesday and Thursday at chapel. The response to this new idea was enthusiastic throughout both Low- er and Middle School. Both groups were busy perfecting their spring programs throughout the spring term. They were, when finally produced, centered on Around the World in Eighty Days, a theme similar to that of the previous year. Choir Performs on Several Occasions Early in the first term the members of the choir were selected by Mr. Gledhill, Anxious moments preceded the announcement of these members, but once the list had been posted, those not included began to think of next year, while those who did manage to make the grade buckled down and determined to show them- selves worthy of the honor shown them. During the course of the school year, the choir, composed exclusively of seventh, eighth, and ninth graders, had four major programs for which to prepare. The first of these was the Christmas Sing. The many hectic rehearsals proved to be worthwhile, as any member of the choir would certainly attest. The choir sang two selections, the first of which, 'fHodie, Christus natus estv, was sung without accompaniment. The thrilling echo which could be heard on this anthem will not soon be forgotten, by either the members of the choir itself, or, we feel sure, the audience. The other selection sung by the entire chorus was 'iGlory to God in the Highest . A smaller group, composed almost exclusively of ninth graders, sang 'LO Nightingale, Awake and The Echo Carolf' The next event for the choir was the operetta. After some lengthy deliberation f'Iolanthe was 65 chosen. The principals for this production were Teri Towe, John Knowles, Ray Hornblower, Jim Kitendaugh, Whit Knapp, Irene Malozemoff, Carla Bowen, Cindie Lovelace, Taffy Fisher, Susie Symmers, and Eliza Conze. Only by per- sistent work, much-needed help from Mr. Gled- hill, and numerous rehearsals could this operetta have become a success, which, when finally produced, it indeed was. The sing on Field Day, May 30, was next on the agenda. This program consisted mostly of old 'favorites and a few novelty numbers performed by some of the more courageous students. Finally, and very appropriately, the choir had one last song to learn: the graduation anthem. The choir is a most memorable extra-curricular activity. It combines self-discipline with full-scale enjoyment, valuable experience with pleasure. Our appreciation goes to Mr. Gledhill, for his extraordinary patience and good nature through- out our upper school years. We feel that a valu- able footnote should be added here: the class of 1963 is the first to have spent all of its upper school years with Mr. Gledhill as its music teach- er. We take great pride in this distinction and it will stay with us much longer, perhaps, than some of the facets of music which he imparted to us. Iolantheh- pompous peers and fickle fairies Shortly after Christmas vacation the ninth grade and Mr. Gledhill decided that, breaking all tradi- tion, the operetta this year would not be a Gilbert and Sullivan production. However, a score of a possible substitute having been purchased and gone over, it was agreed that a Gilbert and Sulli- van operetta offered more opportunity for chorus participation as well as a wide selection of solo parts. As a result, we finally decided upon Io- lanthe, the fanciful tale of fairy revels and British peers. Tension mounted high as each role was as- signed to a deserving applicant. Rehearsals were scheduled, and diligent work was begun under the careful supervision of Mr. Gledhill. Realistic scenery was erected by a hard-working stage crew Cwith the essential aid of two ambitious females who managed to nail half the backdrop to the floorzj Costumes were created and stitched by Miss Bell between piano students and the fair- ies learned a dance routine under Mrs. Maclay. After many hardspent afternoons and a sacri- ficed holiday, the dress rehearsal was given before members of the lower and middle schools. The Ray Hornblower Cindie Lovelace Lord Mountararat Phyllis,' curtain rose on the fairy antics of Eliza Conze as Celia, Taffy Fisher as Leila, Susan Symmers as Fleta, and a chorus of fickle fairies. Our fairy queen, Carla Bowen, fluttered in, and Irene Malozemoff as Iolanthe was recalled and par- doned from lifelong banishment. Her son, John Knowles as Strephon, fell in love with Phyllis, an Arcadian shepherdess, played by Cindie Lovelace. This affair gave much dismay to Ray Hornblower as Lord Mountararat, Jim Kiten- daugh as Lord Tolloler, Teri Towe as the Lord Chancellor, and a chorus of arrogant peers. When it was finally decided that every fairy must die who does not marry a mortal, Private Willis, a British soldier, played by Whit Knapp, was recruited to rescue the queen in her distress, and the fairies and peers havilng paired off, everyone lived happily ever after. It would be difficult to convey the spirit with which the participants staged this production. Such was their enthusiasm that even the audience felt a part of the excitement which filled each of us. It was a memorable evening for those who watched, as well as for those who performed.

Under Mr. Gledhill's direction, the choir sang three songs: Hodie , Glory to God in the Highestn, and 'Twas The Night Before Christmasv, the famous Christmas story set to music. John Knowles and Ray Hornblower took the major solos. A section from the ninth grade sang O Nightingale Awake , with Jim Kiten- daugh playing the accompaniment, and was joined by some of the seventh and eighth grades to sing The Echo Carol . Whit Knapp, George Park, and Walter Hinton soloed in We Three Kings and everyone joined in the chorus, as is the custom. Alec Coxe and Steve Colhoun sang the solos of the king and the page respectively in Good King Wenceslas . The great hit of the evening was the playing of a set of English hand- bells lent to the school by Mr. Griswold. A group of ninth graders played 'LO Come All Ye Faith- ful on these bells inside, and, encouraged by a receptive audience, carried the bells outside and played Silent Nightn several times after the great Christmas tree had been lighted by Mrs. McCormack. Christmas Play a Study in Excellence For the second consecutive year the eighth graders had the honor of presenting the Christ- mas play, and after a few exciting weeks of hard work and practice, the members of the cast staged the familiar Dickens play, A Christmas Carol . In the short space of time set aside for the prep- aration of the play, parts had to be picked and learned, scenery improvised, lighting decided up- on and costumes fitted. Under the enthusiastic direction of Mr. Hoff- man, Mr. Efinger, Mr. Field and Mr. Trask, the whole class contributed to the success of the pro- duction, whether they were working as a stage hand, singing a lively carol, or actually taking a part. Much credit must also be given the costume committee, under Miss Bel1's experienced super- vision, for diligently dressing every actor. After every part of the play had been thorough- ly polished up, a dress rehearsal was put on for the benefit of the Lower School, and on the fol- lowing day the final production was presented in front of the entire Upper School. The principal characters were portrayed by Baxter Holland, Paul Seldon, and Ozzie Erickson as Scrooge, Jerry Platt as Marleyg Barrie Weeks, Gretchen Weisel, and Betsy Beecher as the ghostsg Dave Smith as Bob Cratchitg and Wade Hampton as Tiny Tim.

Representatives take additional responsibilities in stride For its third year in existence, the ninth grade student representative program has run very smoothly and effectively. Each term, the repre- sentatives, two girls and two boys, are elected by the entire class and hold this position for one term, when elections are held again. The purpose of this program is to give the stu- dent body a chance to take an active part in gov- erning the activities of the school through these representatives. This system not only develops leadership qualities in a ninth grader, but it also frees the faculty members from many administra- tive duties which might otherwise clutter their already busy schedules. Each week the student representativesassign special duties to students of the ninth grade on a daily basis. These duties include the supervision of the entrance into both dining room and as- sembly hall, saying the grace and the announce- ments at lunch, running study hall in the absence of teachers, and sometimes the dismissal of a home room when its teacher can not be present. This year's representatives were Cin order of termsj: Irene Malozemoff, Ray Hornblower, Taffy Fisher, and John Knowles, Fred Green, Eliza Conze, Whit Knapp, and Sheila Blair, Gina Greene, Miggie Chisholm, Walter Hinton and Ned Bunnell. The student representative government has run very well this year and we hope it may con- tinue to do so for many years. Students Give To Community And Nation Greenwich Country Day believes in cultivating the interest of its students in taking an active part in community services. During the school year itself we take part in Red Cross and clothing drives for the needy, and on Hallowe'en the en- tire school participates in a door-to-door appeal for UNICEF. In the few years in which we have, as a unit, participated in this drive, we have been continually rewarded by increasing interest. From a small beginning this project has taken on enormous proportions. We attacked the drive this year with an enthusiasm which surprised even Mr. Webster. Having set our goal at one thousand dollars, we set out and squeezed every possible penny from our generous townfolk, but finding ourselves twelve dollars short, we emptied Unicef Committee counts contributions. 71 Irene Malozemoff does her part. the pockets of our beloved teachers and overshot our goal by forty-three cents. During the summer and in later years, Country Day students carry on this tradition. Many girls donate part of their precious summer vacation to the hospital, working as Candy Stripersg to the library, as aides, or to the Junior Red Cross. Boys and girls, alumni of the school, have taken jobs working to better slum conditions, and have joined such organizations as the International Field Service, or the International Experiment. We hope that this will be expanded in the years to come and that our students will continue to uphold the fine example shown to us in the past. We hope that they will go on and give to the com- munity and nation those gifts which they have gained here.

Assisted by the experienced teaching of Miss Dicks, the Lower School launched itself into an art program which included the use of charcoal, crayons, post- er paints, clay, and, still the chief attraction of the younger body of students, finger paints. The Middle Schoolers, taught by Mr. Cooper, were given the chance to develop and display their skills in the art room. The better of their paintings were put each week in Locke Hall where they could be admired and criticized by all. ln the Upper School the students who chose art were given an equal opportunity to improve their talent under the competent teaching of Mr. Herron. Not only did they strive to paint what they thought resembled their composition, but they also received a fair amount of art apprecia- tion. Several times during the year, Mr. Herron gave carefully planned talks on the progress of art through the ages. As a whole, the art students found their course both interesting and rewarding. Mr. Cooper teaches technique. Industrious sixth graders work in earnest. Shop Stresses Value and Variety With the addition of more new students to the school, this year the shop was busier than ever. During practically every hour of the day the shop was teeming with students working on many dif- ferent kinds of projects. In most of the Middle School classes, Mr. Forscher advised the students do class projects, such as key racks, shoe shine boxes, bowls and tables. They also had a chance to use the time and muscle-saving power tools, The other students engaged in more compli- cated projects. Among the more popular were tables, shelves, stools, lamps. Some imaginative students created such projects as rocking horses, kites, desks, sailboats, and sleds. Other hearty students also helped create scenery for the plays. The silver department was invariably crowded with students waiting to take their turn at using the torch, and many fine works of art, which in- cluded rings, necklaces, identification bracelets, and tie clips, were produced. The shop students certainly derived great enjoyment and valuable experience from the helpful instruction of Mr. Forscher. Richard Forscher Pr1nt Shop throbs w1th constant activity The Print Shop constantly throbs with the steady pulses of aspiring printers. It is quite a job for Mr. Fricke to keep a shop as large as ours in order, but the young printers are ready to help out when they are not printing pads, blotters, bookmarks, short selections for Impressions, which is put out annually by the Print Shop, or setting up one of Mr. Bliss's ideas from his Idea File. Once a week this steady beat is quickened when the Spire staff invades the Print Shop. The linotype is constantly clacking and the Little Giant goes to work. Mr. Nicholson, the staff ad- viser, tries to keep The Spire, which is nearly always two weeks behind, up to date. The Print Shop has an important role in the school besides that of teaching. Among countless other jobs, it prints up office forms, reports and announcements sent home to parents, and pro- grams for inter-school activities. In the fifth grade, students have their first opportunity to take printing. They begin with simple exercises such as note pads and book- marks. In sixth and seventh they go on to Impressions, hand setting and printing inspira- tional poems or prose which they select. Ninth graders are mainly concerned with pub- lications, and eighth graders look forward to the day when they, too, may grace the staff of The Spire, Ex Multis or Alumni Bulletin. Shortly after mid-year the school received some photographic equipment for the darkroom, located in the Print Shop. Several enthusiasts, under the direction of Mr. Cooper, found work in photography very rewarding and enjoyable. Not only did they learn the mechanics of devel- oping and printing, but they also delved into the chemical processes involved. Spire Board Makes Needed Revisions Throughout the year the staff of The Spire strove to keep imagination and new ideas as its bywords. The general attitude was .not to advocate change for its own sake, but to revise certain aspects of the book which might be im- proved by change. Perhaps the most important of these changes was the consolidation of the class write-ups, i. e., one write-up, with the exception of the ninth grade, for each school division instead of a write- up for each class. By this revision we hoped to achieve a greater continuity and unified idea. The divider pages were splashed with color and expanded to two pages, the faculty pages were increased and given fewer group and more in- dividual pictures. In addition, two new articles were added and a third revised. GCDS goes in- ternationalv and GCDS serves community and nation were added to give a more complete pic- ture of the school year, Inside GCDS was changed to The class of '63 remembers , in which we tried not only to present more intimate facets of school life, but also to show just what aspects of GCDS the graduating class best re- members. Once these changes and revisions had been incorporated into our dummy, work was begun on the actual printing of the yearbook, in our own print shop, located in the basement of the school itself. Write-ups were linotyped by Mrs. Fricke, and pages laid out and set up by the Spire board members themselves. All was done in only one hour a week! In spite of sometimes conflicting opinions on issues of layout, captions, or general policy, the yearbook was finally published, and, although only time can tell, we feel that it will transport us back to GCDS and help us relive some of our happy experiences there, no matter how distant we may be in time or miles.

Ex Multis board chooses best of the best At three o'clock Monday afternoon, everyone in the ninth grade drops his diligent work and scrambles to his publication meeting. A few have other commitments, but the best of the rest come, jocularly perambulating into Mr. Merriss's room, where he is doodling aimlessly. The well-known and perhaps dilapidated folders bearing the names accepted,', rejected , may- be , and 'ffor considerationn are pulled out of the file and are thrown upon the desk. After the staff shuffles around, slams the door, yaks a bit, and finally quiets down, Mr. Merriss proceeds to read the first composition taken from the thick pile which had been collected on the previous Friday. During the first meeting we cleared the usual fuzzy details, procedures were outlined, work divisions established, and responsibilities allotted. We decided not to elect the editors until the end of the year, so that elections could be based on how much work the staff as a whole felt that each individual had accomplished. We found that this plan provided a goal for us to strive for. The whole board worked in one big bubbling group. We organized the comp-collecting system, and Mr. Merriss advised some gentle nagging to spur those teachers on,'. At first our opinions about the compositions wavered, but these past months have mellowed our tastes, and our accepted pile is becoming pleasantly plumpl' with choice, selected master- pieces. New ideas for the oh-how cute theme, and illustrations by our more artistic members were constantly popping up. We found reading comps of several hundred different styles most enjoyable. Monday afternoons passed quickly by, with Mr. Merrissis voice droning on and on, inter- spersed with laughs, tears, nudges, and groans. We were certainly all very content sitting peace- fully in our easy chairs while that hectic Spire board was running in circles with activity. Alumni Bulletin keeps in touch with graduates All publications have their problems. The most prevalent problem of the Alumni Bulletin was to procure a staff, for, at the start of the year, there was but one member, Mr. Witherbee. As it turned out, Mr. Witherbee, beginning the season alone, set himself to the tedious task of contacting the Alumni, and keeping in touch wth them. This being accomplished, the board showed a gradual increase in members. As usual, the school was infested by ambitious Bulletin,, photographers snapping photos of the newest aspects of the school to indicate to the Alumni that their school was forever changing and improving. When all the replies were finally received from the class secretaries, the task was to rewrite and assemble them in a fashion interesting to the Alumni. Although the actual printing of the Bul- letin was done by Mr. Fricke, there were letters to be signed and envelopes to be printed and ad- dressed by the staff. The last few weeks of activity included assembling the many copies of the mag- azine, stapling them, and finally mailing them to our Alumni scattered all over the country. Cer- tainly, for the work they accomplished, congratu- lations are in order for the board, but, for his diligent work on its behalf, the Board of the Alumni Bulletin wishes Mr. Witherbee to accept its sincere appreciation.

Dancing is, indeed, an important social grace, and it is certainly not slighted at GCDS. Each Friday afternoon, boys and girls of the fifth and sixth grades met with Mrs. Halliwell to try to absorb some of their competent tutor's dancing technique and the social graces. The seventh grade, having added the cha-cha and several fast dances, advanced to the guidance of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Meeker, on a bi-weekly basis, meeting every other Saturday evening. Un- der the watchful eye of the Meekers, they became skillful in the cha-cha, the samba, and even the waltz. The eighth and ninth graders also met on Sat- urday evenings, but their lessons were primarily for pleasure, having already attained a reasonable proficiency in the most popular of the contem- porary dances. Attending dancing class is certainly a pleasur- able experience for the pupils, especially with small classes. 8th 8a 9th Twist for Christmas 6th graders really shine!

With this object in mind, he was confident each year of having a successful winning season. However, not until this year, aided by Mr. Boynton and Mr. Efinger, did he achieve this goal. Armed with ability, weight, determination, and most of all, experience, the Country Day varsity enjoyed a very impressive season. Rarely plagued with injuries as in the previous year, the team marched through the season with two heartbreak- ing deteats at 'Laft and Brunswick. ln our first game we handily whipped Harvey on home grounds, and, leading 25 to 0 after three periods, the second string was sent in and they gave up only one touchdown. The following week we journeyed to Taft where we played their third team, and in a well fought game, Taft and its towering linemen pre- vailed 16 to 7. Mr. Wanko drills second team. The next game we visited King and played pos- sibly the finest game of the year. Aided by a strong line, the Country Day tigers defeated King 26 to 12. New Canaan never really gave us any serious trouble, and after a shaky first half, we ended out on top 26 to 12. After hearing how formidable the GCDS team seemed, Rye, fearing a terrible rout, backed down and canceled the game. The last game of the season proved to be a heartbreaker. After a tremendous rally at school, the football team went to Brunswick and lost to the previously unbeaten squad, 7-O. Every player had to work hard to attain his position, but throughout most of the year, Ned Bunnell, Steve Weber and Sandy Murphy played ends, Mark Willers and Ned Shean at the tackles positiong Baxter Holland and Parker Hansel played guards, and Thorne Warner played center. In the backfield Fred Green played halfback, Whit Knapp played fullg alternates at slotback were George Park and Alec Coxe, and playing quarterback was Ray Hornblower. Who's loafing?

With six returning letterinen, this year's soccer team was large in number, consisting of fourteen eighth graders and thirteen ninth graders. With the addition of Sam Martin from the football team we faced Central Jr. High in our first game. This was our most serious setback, we lost the game 5 -0. St. Bernard's was our next oppo- nent. We knew this would be a tough game, but nevertheless, we played with tremendous spirit. At llE1lfLlI1'16 we were on top l -U, but in the third quarter our opponents had tied the score. With a quick score in the last period, St. Ber- nard's won the game which could have gone either way. Again at home, we faced Fairfield in the most evenly played game of the season. Despite shots which hit the crossbar and shots which were stopped within an inch of a goal, neither team was able to score. Irv Fish, as goalie, should cer- tainly be credited with a shutout in this game, for he made some spectacular saves. In our next game which was closer than the statistics show, we were beaten by Eastern Jr. High 4 -0. The following week we played Choate in one of our most inspired games. The whole team played very well and was not ashamed of losing, for Choate had definitely a better team. Realizing that we hadn't won a game all season and that we faced our biggest rival in our next game, the team worked much harder as a unit. This next game meant the most to us, so we trav- eled to Brunswick determined to win. After two quick goals had been scored by John Knowles, in the opening quarter, we held that lead until the half. In the third quarter, after a score by Jim Kitendaugh, we felt confident of a victory, but a goal by Brunswick set us on our toes again. They managed to score one more goal in the last peri- od but that was not enough. We left the field jubilant with our first victory. In our next and final game, with that same eagerness with which- we played Brunswick, we journeyed to Rye and emerged the victors. Our forwards this year were Jim Kitendaugh, Alex Aubry, John Knowles, Bruce Landis and Sam Martin, alternates were Ricky Williams, Bob Searls, John Richardson, Neil Weathers, Wade Hampton, Tiger Bates and Jeff Neuberth. In the halfback positions were Bill Rogers, Walter Hin- ton and John Plowden, Jeff Baker, Flip Stevens, Scott Muller, Paul Wilson, Robby Moore and Tom Greenwood were the alternates. David Nel- son and Peter Milhaupt were the fullbacks with Teri Towe, Guy Lawrence and Dwight Stevenson also playing there. Our ever-ready C?J goalie was Irv Fish. i Seggnd ROW l: Lorenlzen, Morano, Sandifer, de Schepper, Andrews, Jessup, Shaw.

Would this be their eleventh consecutive unde- feated season? Though the question haunted the team, it never did affect its determined spirit. Throughout each game the Amazonian eleven exhibited its fine ability to drive, dribble and dodge. The Varsity came through with a record of 17 goals, scored in five games, opposed with only one goal, which was slipped in by Rosemary. Tension mounted before the opening game versus Unquowa, for this was the only team on the schedule never before encountered. Games with Rye and Rippowam followed, but both these op- ponents were crushed in the team's path to vic- tory. Rosemary, the next opponent, boldly chal- lenged the varsity, who were able to squeak through with a bare 1 - 1 tie. The official season was wound up with a tense game against Green- wich Academy junior varsity in which the eleven topped off the season with a 3 - 0 win. October fourteenth proved to be the brightest day of the season, when the entire team, with many eager supporters, gathered at Rosemary for Stuyvesant Day. After tying the eleventh and twelfth grade varsity from the Greenwich Acad- emy in a hard-fought match, our starting eleven defeated New Canaan 2-0, and Unquowa, Stuyvesant Day evokes grins and grimaces. Mothers resort to sorcery in Alumnae game 3 --0. All Cincluding Sammy, the Symmers' thieving black labrador, who munched unsus- pecting girls' lunchesj eagerly anticipated the choosing of the select Stuyvesant and Reserve teams. Our high hopes were not to be unfulfilled, and although all our competitors were high school juniors and seniors, three of our players: Margie Gray, left wingg Marion Manger, center halfbackf' and Miggie Chisholm, right Wing, were named tot the Stuyvesant team. Selected for the Reserve team were center forward, Eliza Conze and left halfback, Helen Hubbard, and an honor- able mention was given to Martha Ward. Filling in the spaces between the above 'fStuy- vesant Sixv were, inners, Susie Symmers and Gina Greene, right halfback, Taffy Fisher, right fullback, Captain Sheila Blair, goalie, Carla Bow- en. Although not allowed to play on Stuyvesant Day, our subs, Lisa Flinn, Gretchen Weisel, Laura Vanderbilt, and Hope Hennigar reliably filled in when needed. The above statistics do not place into account a game in which the Alumnae and mothers used masks, witchcraft, and other instruments of ter- ror, and won an unofficial game by a narrow margin of one goal allowed by an incompetent timer. This continuing record of success, the enthusi- asm of the many girls who tried out for hockey, and the spirit of the team which never floundered for a moment, is a tribute to coach Mrs. Rogers. 97 Second ROW 1: Fish, Dewart, Adams, Hennefrund, Lovelace.

Varsity Hockey wins five, drops two Participation in hockey reached a new high this year - more players, more teams, more en- thusiasm. The varsity, braced with seven return- ing lettermen, met the alumni in its first game. The alumni, although they lacked depth on their team, pulled out a 3 - 2 win. The team faced Choate after Christmas vaca- tion, and started out their official season by win- ning 6 - 2. Gunnery, our next opponents, did not afford too much competition. In a one-sided game, GCDS won 7 - O, Ray Hornblower pulling a hat trick. In the same manner, the varsity beat St. Maryls 6 - 2. Although this was not our best- played game, GCDS clearly had the upper hand at all times. Ned Bunnell netted three in this game. Next we clashed with our old rival, New Ca- naan. In accordance with our style we outplayed 102 them but couldn't outscore them. The game went into a sudden-death overtime. New Canaan scored on a Ngarbagel' goal which was more luck than skill. With all hopes turned toward an undefeated season, this loss was a hard one for everyone. The team traveled to Taft for its next game. The team, skating on its first indoor rink, played an inspired game and beat its opponents 2-1. Kent, our next opponent, was not as challenging as was expected, and we defeated them 3 - 0. Scholastic pressures plus a slight sense of over- confidence were a factor in our last game. We were beaten by an inspired Brunswick team which was out to win- and did. This was a great let- down for the end of the season, but the team could nevertheless be proud of its record, realiz- ing that it played and defeated four prep schools during the course of the season.

Absent: Lawrence Brains and brawn boost wrestlers along A first year sport at GCDS, wrestling proved to be both fun and challenging for all the boys who joined the squad. In the first few weeks be- fore Christmas the mat for the wrestling room had not arrived. The wrestlers had to be content with laps around the school roadway and calis- thenics in the wrestling room for their daily exer- cise. The room itself located in the new boys' gym provided ample space and facility for the new sport. When everyone returned from Christmas vaca- tion, the mat had arrived. The team then began to work in earnest. With the aid of the two coach- es, Mr. Boynton and Mr. Efinger, the team learned holds of all types and variations. The team worked hard during these weeks and found out that to wrestle one needed brains as Well as brawn. The team's first two meets were with Harvey, 105 which has had wrestling as a sport a few years longer than GCDS. Country Day lost both meets, but by wrestling with Harvey, the boys learned a lot and had a good time as well. A final meet of Connecticut State Schools took place at Cheshire Academy and Country Day came in third out of all the schools participating. Now that wrestling has gotten started at GCDS, it will become a sport enjoyed by many boys and many masters in the years to come. SEASON'S RECORD GCDS Opponents 1 0 Harvey 44 42 Harvey 43 Cheshire J.

We lost all our games. The exact reason for our losses is difficult to explain. We would run like clock- work in practice, but in a game we would con- tract a severe case of the clutches , We would pass up shots, we wouldn't handle the ball well, numerous things went wrong. To worry, Mr. French told us, was his job, not ours. We were only a school ball club out to have fun. However, we didn't seem to be having much fun because We were afraid of doing something wrong. Our problem was not that we didn't care whether we won or lost, but that we cared too much. Conse- quently, although the individual level of ability was high, we failed to work well as a unit. We entered our practice game with Rye on Varsity shows its better side in Fairfield game. 107 December 18 with high hopes, but when the last signal sounded, the score stood at 46 - 19. Rye had won. Although we fought our hearts out in our first game with Brunswick, our traditional rival, they managed to beat us 17 - 46. We im- proved considerably between that time and the next Brunswick game, of which the score was 17 - 31. King was a club we should have trounced, although we lost this game, too, by the closest margin of all. Choate's terrific team beat us 33 - 50. However, as if by a sudden inspiration, we scored our highest number of points in this game. Despite all our troubles, there is general hope of a bright future for the team. The now seventh and eighth grades hold in their ranks quite a few potential basketball stars. With Mr. French's ex- pert coaching, this new material may most cer- tainly be molded into a victorious team. Hansel waves at his fan club. ROW 1: Blair, Chisholm, Fairchild, Manger, Conze. ROW 2: Malozemoff, Fisher, Bowen, Mrs. Rogers. Girls' Basketball has new sockfsj! The new rules in girls' basketball provided an interesting challenge for us to overcome this sea- son. Both a guard and a forward, under these rules, could move from one end of the court to the other. This mobility makes the game more enjoyable, but it is difficult to learn, and it was quite a while before we fully understood what We were doing. Eager shouts and disappointed groans met the first late practice list when it was posted on the bulletin board. We had only two returning letter- men this year, but the material from last year's second team was excellent. The team consisted of four forwards: Eliza Conze, Sheila Blair, Susie Symmers, Miggie Chisholm, and six guards: Marion Manger, Carla Bowen, Captain Franny Fairchild, Taffy Fisher, Gina Greene, Irene Malozemoff. The addition of orange socks to the game uniforms brightened our spirits as well as our 108 appearance, and when Rosemary arrived for our first game, We were quite confident. The Rose- mary game was Well played, and we came out on top, winning 30- 25, with Eliza Conze scoring 22 out of our 30 points. Our next game took us to the Boys' Club in Fairfield to play Laycock. We just couldn't seem to get together, and we lost ll - 29. Rippowam, an old rival, was our next opponent, and, although we were fired up and rarin' to go, we couldn't pull out a vicory and lost 11 - 20. Our last game was against Low Heywood, and the score C16 - 295 did not show the great spirit and effort that was put into the game. Our season was not as successful as we had hoped, but it was a thoroughly enjoyable one, and we thank Mrs. Rogers for the hard Work and patience she showed us, and we wish next year's team the best of luck. 5 1 Lovelace makes a try against a fighting defensive star.

Each class met Mrs. Maclay once a week in the 'cLittle Gym? Dressed in leotards, they jumped saw horses, did acro- batics on the bar, exercised on the mats, limboed under a tunic belt, and practiced dance patterns. The girls also learned to accomplish the difficult task of seating themselves gracefully and easily in a small car while wearing a tight skirt and carrying school books. The girls in the ninth grade especially looked forward to each Wednes- day when they learned how to trip lightly hither and thither for their parts as fairies in the oper- Sita. Except for a few reservations about leotards, all of the girls enjoyed Mrs. Maclayis classes and hope that she will come back next year to keep them sitting up straight and walking gracefully.

Each Wednesday riders from fourth grade to ninth came to school in their riding clothes, and impatiently waited for athletics. After lunch they eagerly piled into the car hoping that they would jump, and proceeded on the long ride to Kelsey's or Round Hill. Upon arriving, the tension mount- ed as Teddy assigned them to horses. This year there were two inter-school competi- tion shows. The senior team, for the first time in many years, succeeded in winning the hunt teams. The juniors, as usual, walked off with the cham- pionship. The riding captains who successfully led the teams throughout the year were Laura Vanderbilt, senior, and Pixie Serrell, junior. Girls borrow boys' skating rink Several times a week girls of the school bundled up in overcoats and galoshes and trudged to the rink. They tried to squeeze in a few precious minutes of skating before their hands grew so cold that they were forced to retreat to the club- house and a comforting, warming fire. While our staunch contemporaries dashed across the cold rink in a hardy game of red rover , the more graceful of us practiced figures. For all, it was a profitable year, although for many the most that Was accomplished was the acquisition of a mild case of frostbite. .E Eighth Grade relay at Field Day Holland drops one in.

Front door gym privilege goes to Varsity Baseball The baseball season opened this year in the middle of one of the Worst droughts in fifteen years. With clean uniforms, dry fields, and dry tears from the basketball season before, sixteen varsity players appeared before coaches, Big', Mr. French and Mr. Efinger. Their gloves well- oiled and their spirits high, they began a two-week period of exhausting practice, readying them- selves for their first game of the season, Fairfield Country Day. On the game day nine representatives of our black and orangev team took their positions in the playing field and awaited the umpireis signal to begin. Mark Willers, on the mound, and Thorne Warner, behind the plate, composed the battery. Ned Bunnell, Johnny Knowles, Fred Green, and Ray Hornblower were the comple- ment of the infield and gave Mark what little assistance he needed. Picking daisies in the out- field was left to Whit Knapp, Corky Moore, and 114 Steve Weber. Since only one hit ever reached them, the 5 - 2 victory came in slightly easier than was expected. This same line-up met Choate for the second game of the season. We played a tight ball game with a 3-all score at the last of the ninth inning. With two men out, Knowles bunted Weber to third, Hornblower executed a perfect squeeze bunt down the third base line, and Weber raised the dust around home plate for a final score of 4 - 3. The Beat Choate signs that plastered the school had a salutary effect. Because of these victories the boys now proud- ly walk through the front door of the gym, a privilege which only victors are allowed. All their hopes centered on having a winning season, and they knew that they would be able to achieve this goal if they gave it everything they possibly could. T.

Fathers Home Home Away Home Home Away' Home Lacrosse comes to life in '63 Since the time GCDS introduced lacrosse as a sport, until this spring there has never been a team that had a successful season. In fact, no team had even won a game. There were two main causes for this state: lack of high spirits and poor physical condition. This year, however, the lacrosse squad seems to have started off in a manner more befitting a GCDS team. In spite of having two first stringers absent in their opening game, they were still able to defeat Rye 5 - 2. Last year Rye overcame them ll - 1. After the game the Greenwich team showed their high spirits by dousing their goalie, Jock Willers, with soda pop. The starting lineup for GCDS in the game a- gainst Rye consisted of Holland, Willams, and Adams, our captain for the day, as attackmen, with Scott Muller as a substitute. The ninth grade midfield line comprised of Murphy, Martin, and Hansel rotated with the eighth grade line com- posed of Leech, Frasche, and Green. The de- fense for the Rye game was made up of Funston, Erickson, and Magill, with Hinton and Lawrence subbing. Park and Deutsch, both defensemen, were sick, but our goalie, Jock Willers, made up for this loss by saving the game time and again. George Park, back on his feet, started in the second game, against Choate, and scored our first two goals when we were trailing 3 - 0. His successes set the rest of the team off to some fine playing. At the half we were still trailing 3 - 2, but superior conditioning showed its benefits and in the second half, Sandy Murphy scored to tie it up, followed by Don Green, who scored with an extra man. Baxter Holland, with a fine assist from Dave Leech scored the fifth goal to put GCDS out front to stay. Coaches John Boynton and Gerrit Keator took this game as a good omen for a successful season, and they hoped that they would have what no other lacrosse team has had: an undefeated SCHSO11.

Tennis team spurred on by new players In this, the Greenwich Country Day tennis squadis second year, we have experienced none of the discouraging delays of the previous season. After a week of volleying on the gym walls, the squad cleaned, swept and rolled our own court, and several teams began play. Using firm super- vision and expert instruction, Coaches Hoffman and Trask found a tennis squad with all the promise of a successful season. Among those who met for tennis after our re- turn from spring vacation were many experienced players. These and others began to show fine form and strong strokes. The Winteris idleness was apparent in everyone, as we struggled to bring our game up to this season's potential. After several days of practice in the gym, we all trekked up to the school court for an after- noon of cinder removal. The more hardy of us set doggedly to transposing the projecting stones, while some made the squad's progress dubious. However, a satisfactory job was completed, and after sweeping and rolling, the court was ready 119 for play. Groups of four players then began using the court, rallying and improving their game. Soon we had the Country Club courts at our dis- posal. Then the squad scheduled several matches including two prep games. Some of those who showed talent and spirit: Kenyon Clark, Alex Aubry, Niel Weathers, John Milliken from the eighth grade, and Mark Bart- lett, Jim Kitendaugh, Billy Ley, and Ned Shean from the graduating class. This Greenwich team started well, beating Eastern Junior High 4 - 3 in its first match under our eager coaches, Mr. Hoffman and Mr. Trask, and was sure to have a terrific season.

Brunswick Away Varsity softball-off to another winning season With the vacation over and the spring season approaching, the girls rushed eagerly out to the softball fields to practice. Pitchers warmed up, balls were hit, and everyone tried her hardest to catch every ball. The eagle eyed Mrs. Rogers was searching everywhere, noting all the mistakes, but also giving credit where it was due. Many mistakes were made, but soon everyone was loosened up once again, despite the long rest of spring vacation, and the prospects for the team brightened. Pitches became more accurate, hits became more frequent, and a Varsity team be- gan to form in Mrs. Rogers' mind. Everyone kept up the fine spirit and tried harder than ever to play well and impress the coach, for the team was to be selected in a few days. After several days of pondering and experi- menting, a first team was chosen. Behind the catcher's mask was Susie Symmers, and a former first teamer, Liza Conze, was on the pitcher's l Hope Hennigar shows her submarine ball. 120 mound. Playing first base was another letterman, Marion Manger. At second base was the captain of the team, Gina Greene, and playing alongside of her were the shortstop and third base man, Miggie Chisholm and Taffy Fisher, respectively. Chasing the long flies and grounders were Martha Ward, Carla Bowen, and Sheila Blair, who played the field. Our ever faithful, competent, and re- liable substitutes were Barrie Weeks, Margie Gray, Lisa Flinn, and Amie Stamberg. All made for what looked like a hot team for the 1963 spring season. Q The big day arrived-the day of our first game against Daycroft. The lucky ones who had been chosen for the first team ran cheerfully down to the field, their spirits high. All our ef- forts had not been in vain, as we proved that day. To our great pleasure, we started the season off on the right track, beating Daycroft by a score of 27 to 1.
