JOHNSON Secretary of the College 4 DEDICATICN A future professor of public speaking may well ex- toll the Johnson Regime, for Mr. Johnson has shaped much of the Hamilton of today, and leaves many guides for tomorrow. Secretary of the College seems a small title foriia man who is teacher, administrator, speaker and greeter, and who performs all the duties which make him the heart of the college. Several men together may carry on his work, but none can replace his spirit. This dedication is only a symbol of the thanks which Hamilton, in its largest sense, extends to Wally Johnson. l V 1.1--:1 V K 3- ,., - K ,,N,,,,,,. , .. :...4,-ay- -. Q- -V H- g A V' My ,Q .,,..,u NUM, W Sirs: It being the occasion of the Hundred and fiftieth anniversary of the Hamilton-Oneida Academy, I did resolve to discover unto myself what is now the estate of that institution. I did walk abroad upon the greensward, viewing, with some nos- talgia, my erstwhile home, and marvelled to see how the Academy had grown. 7 'P' I did further observe that some f structures on the face of the prop- ,K J erty are new, some so old as to have X fallen into extreme disrepair. . . ,ff 5 1 I .. r'g,,l,i A , , -'15 gp , -f A' H Q A 1 l,V.!'x 'lA':'.A 1127511 ...V gf l and that the old and the new make strange bedfellows. 8 nu -ou- .., ,, -4, . ,.. f ln-fl q , M L, yf ' fl. --r ..:' V .

Hineline, Clmimang Nichols, Weissglass Schmitt The 1961-1962 Honor Court has met its traditional responsibilities while attempting to bring the system up to date within the limitations of the Honor Court Constitution, particularly those sections dealing with the library. In its present form, however, the system covers only a limited amount of academic work, and so would seem to be inconsistent with the concept of aca- demic honor. Only by amending the Constitution, which requires a three-quarter vote of the student body, can the system effectively be brought up to date and made consistent with its underlying principle. The re- sponsibility and challenge of moving toward this aim rests with next year's student body and Court. 51 CHOIR First Row: Anderson, J., Sterling, Folwell, Bailey, Lie- bermann, Hineline, Huff, Seeber, Hunt, Sheldon, Green.

Third Row: McCulloch, Oberholzer, Hand, Pohl, Rode- On Saturday, September 30th, the Choir and its direc- tor, John L. Baldwin, Jr., began one of its busiest years with a concert in Cleveland which featured the Missa Salve Regina of Jean Langlais. The following day the Choir traveled to Bloomfield Hills, a suburb of Detroit, and presented a concert at the Kirk-in-the-Hills. That evening, following dinner, the Choir made its return trip over the wastes of Canada and arrived back on the Hill just in time for Monday's 8 o'clocks. This trip was followed by two performances at Ham- ilton. On October 13th, the Choir sang for the first Sesquicentennial Convocation. One week later it sang for the members of the foreign press who were visiting Hamilton. On November 4th and 5th, the Choir spent its tra- ditional weekend at Smith and, with the Smithies, sang two services of Thanksgiving and Praise which featured both early and contemporary music-the Great Service of William Byrd, O Taste and See and O Clap Your Wald, Payne, Lightbown, Hyde, Flora, Pilcher, Acker- man, Mealey, Harwood, Clarkson. Fourth Row: Luger, Vander Putten, Mcllroy, Snell, Sully, Morgan, Denton van Schoick, Bremenstuhl, Poling, Smith, J.. Rancier Starr, McCormack, Lewis, Boak. 1 v Hands by Ralph Vaughan Williams, and Magniyicat from the Sacrae Symphonic of Gabrieli. Back in the Hamilton area, the Choir sang on No- vember l9th at a memorial concert for Louise Brownell Saunders, a long-time friend of the Choir, on Decem- ber Sth at the Munson-Williams-Proctor Institute in Utica, and on December 17th at the traditional Christ- mas Chapel services on the Hill. The following day, December 18th, the Choir left for Scarsdale, where, with the Wells College Choir, it presented a joint concert which featured the Bach Mag- nificat. The next evening, after an afternoon concert at Katonah, the Choir, again joining the Wells Choir in the Magnificat, presented its traditional Christmas con- cert at St. Thomas' Church in New York City. On Wednesday the Choir completed its tour by recording a program of Christmas music for A.B.C. radio. The Choir gave its initial second semester perform- ance at the February 9th Convocation. On Friday, March 2nd, it left on its pre-Spring tour to warmer re- gions. That afternoon, after singing an assembly concert at the Pingry School, the Choir went on to Glenside, Pennsylvania, where it sang a joint concert at Beaver College with the Beaver Glee Club. The next morning, the Choir left for Sweet Briar, Virginia and, after taking a somewhat devious route, arrived there in time for a party. On Sunday afternoon, the Hamilton and Sweet Briar Choirs joined in a concert featuring the Bach Magnificat. Afterwards, a long night's ride, punctuated by an adequate number of stops for one thing or an- other, brought the Choir back to Clinton. After a concert in North Syracuse on March 21st, the Choir joined with the Womenis Glee Club of the State University of Oneonta, soloists, and a fifty-three piece orchestra to present, on March 24th, a perform- ance at Hamilton of the German Requiem by Johannes Brahms. The following weekend, after a concert at Sid- ney, the Choir again joined with the other groups to re- peat the Requiem at Oneonta. The first weekend after Spring Recess, April 14th and 15th, the Choir travelled to Wellesley, where, on Sunday morning it participated in the Palm Sunday worship services of the Wellesley Hills Congregational Church and, in the afternoon, joined with the Wellesley Choir and Chamber Music Society in a concert which featured the Bach Magnificat and the Jubilate Deo of Henry Purcell. Following a concert on April 25th at the First Pres- byterian Church in Cazenovia, the Choir sang for the third College Convocation on Parents' Day, May 12th and, with the Brass Ensemble, presented a live tele- vision program of Renaissance Music from the Munson- Williams-Proctor Institute on Sunday, May 20th. The year, one of the fullest in Choir history, con- cluded on June 9th and 10th with the Commencement weekend concerts.

The meeting was called to order by President Moore at 8:00 p.m. Hayden requested that the Senate untable the previously tabled motion concerning rushing regu- lations, Bricker opposed Hayden's motion and moved for a roll call vote. Nelson argued that a roll call vote was inappropriate and moved to call the question. Rushing Chairman Ferraro attempted to read the com- mittee's report, but Hayden raised a point of order, ar- guing that there were already seven or eight motions on the floor. He attacked the comrnittee's position and seconded Bricker's motion for a roll call vote. Bricker submitted that the committee's position was the only tenable one and should be adopted if total opportunity was to succeed. A motion fWheeler, Olerj passed that the Senate determine whether a quorum was present. Moore again called the meeting to order . . . But in spite of many problems, the Senate, under the capable presidency of J ack Moore, progressed through a successful year. The group finally settled the problem of the Student Senate Scholarship by awarding it to a senior going on to graduate school, and, contrary to rumors apparently started by Moore, the President of the Senate was not the recipient. The Rushing Committee of Bricker, Nelson, Lini- han, and Chairman Ferraro proved themselves dedi- cated to providing a more practical rushing system. They offered, and the Senate approved, several amend- ments to the Rushing Regulations which promise to enable next year's Senate better to implement total op- portunity. Following a difficult first few weeks, the Judiciary Committee continued to spend many hours a month both enforcing the social rules and considering possible changes in them, The reorganization Committee didn't do much reorganizing, but the Senate at least was pre- sented with various alternative proposals for member- ship and structure, which it considered. And, of course, there was Vice-President Brickeris stirring defense of the National Student Association C'How they can make such a complex problem out of being a student is be- yond me D and Moore's tactful handling of difficult matters C'Why did you ask that question? J. . . . Following discussion of the original motion, a mo- tion for adjournment tRiordan, Plantj was defeated, and an additional motion for tabling fSteele, Huflj was defeated, but subsequently passed on a roll call. At 9:05 the meeting was recessed for ten minutes, after which the Senate went into closed session to consider the committee's report on a possible violation. Fisher suggested that it was inappropriate to vote at this time on the report and moved that the Senate remain in closed session . . .

Although technical modiiications kept the station off the air during the first semester, interest among students in the station remained higher than at any previous time. In preparation for its eventual role as an educational FM broadcast station, the statf of WHCL added many hours of cultural and informational pro- grams to the schedule. The best news of the year came with the announcement that the College will build all new studios for the station in the new auditorium. Met with just as much pleasure were the announcements that the station had received public service awards from the American Cancer Society and the American Heart Association. The entire staff of WHCL has worked a great deal in what we feel is a successful effort to provide the finest radio programming available and in so doing be- come a sound representative of the College. 62 DEBATE CLUB President: Robert Collings '64 Seated: Kremen, Hellreich, Coelen, Collings, Flora, Bantham, Kahn J.

Coach Dori Jones made two important position changes to increase the Conti- nentals' strength. Don Burns, a fullback as a freshman, was switched to quarterback position, and Harvey Sin- ger, who had played center, end, and tackle the year before, was moved to the fullback position. After dropping the opening game against the University of Rochester, the Continentals sprang back to finish the season with a successful, if not spectacular, record of four wins and three losses. The Continentals opened the season at home against the University of Rochester. The Yellowjackets, under the leadership of a new head coach Paul Bitgood, played with a backheld weakened by the graduation of Craig Briggsg however the backfield proved sufficient as Roch- ester downed Hamilton 24-14. The Continentals were the first to score as John Sof- fey, the second-string fullback, scored in the first quar- ter on a three yard plunge after Tim Gow had inter- cepted a pass. In the second quarter two touchdowns, a safety, and a thirteen yard pass gave the Yellow- jackets a 24-8 lead. Way's first score was initiated by a Hamilton fumble on their own 21 yard line. An inter- cepted pass set up Way's second touchdown. A blocked punt was responsible for the safety. Hamilton scored again in the third quarter when Dick Hodder com- pleted a 64 yard drive with a touchdown pass to John Soffey. Despite the score Coach Jones said that he was very much pleased with the performance of his players. The following weekend the Continentals traveled to Troy to face a heavy RPI team. Coach Don Jones was confident of winning and the Blues did not let him down as they blasted the Engineers 22-10. RPI opened the scoring in the first quarter when one of Hodder's passes was intercepted and returned to the Hamilton four yard line. Two plays later the ball was carried into the end zone. The extra point was kicked and RPI led 7-0. In the second quarter the Engineers increased their lead to 10-0 with a field goal from Ham- ilton's thirteen yard line. A Hamilton fumble on their own twenty nine set up this score. Soffey returned the kick-off thirty one yards to the Hamilton forty six. Two plays later Rod Parker, a freshman whiz-kid, slashed to the left for 53 yards. A Hodder-Pierson pass combina- tion made the score 10-8. With two minutes of the third quarter remaining, Hodder completed a thirty-seven- yard pass to John Soffey setting up the Continentals' second touchdown. Late in the fourth quarter, Gow scored another TD for Hamilton. The next weekend the Continentals sought their sec- ond win as they hosted Hobart. The Blue proved to be rather inhospitable as they came from behind in the hnal minutes ofthe game to win by a 12-6 score. Neither team scored in the first half, but Hobart dominated the play. After the half Hamilton showed strong offensive play but were unable to score. Early in the fourth quarter Hobart blocked a field goal at- tempt and recovered the ball on the Hamilton forty- five yard line. Five plays later Hobart drove into the end zone for the first score of the game. John Pierson blocked the extra-point. After Rod Parker had returned the kick-off to the Continentals' forty-two yard line, Hamilton launched a long offensive drive that ended with a touchdown. With the score tied 6-6, Hamilton recovered, a fumble on the Hobart thirty-tive yard line late in the fourth quarter. With thirty-six seconds re- maining in the game Rod Parker dived over for the win- ning touchdown from the one yard line. Again playing host, this time to St. Lawrence, the Continentals sought their third straight victory. It was the twenty-sixth game in a series that had begun in 1896. Hamilton continued in its winning streak by tak- ing them 30-23. Hamilton led early in the first period after Harvey Singer had set up a score by recovering a St. Lawrence fumble on the Larries' twenty-four yard line. Two plays later Don Burns went around right end for the score. Burns picked up two more points with a run around left end. St. Lawrence countered with a fifty- Iive yard drive to tie up the game. In the second quar- ter Burns completed a seven-yard pass to Terry Taylor giving the Continentals a 14-8 lead which they main- tained until halftime. Early in the third quarter, St. Lawrence recovered a Hamilton fumble on the Con- tinentals' twenty yard line and went on to score. Later in the third period, the Larries scored again to bring the talley to 23-14. In the fourth quarter Rod Parker ended a ninety-four-yard drive when he went over the one-yard line. Burns passed to Pierson and the Larries' lead was cut to one point. With four minutes remaining, co-captain Tim Gow recovered a St. Lawrence fumble on the Larries, thirty-five yard line. Four plays later Burns passed to Gow for a touchdown, and Soffey ran for the extra points, and the 30-23 victory. The following weekend the team traveled to Middle- town, Conn. to face Wesleyan, although the stronger Wesleyan team statistically dominated the game, the score was close as Hamilton lost 21-20. Wesleyan opened the scoring in the first quarter by completing a twenty-seven yard pass. A successful con- version put Wesleyan ahead 7-0. The Continentals ral- lied as Burns passed to Tim Gow, who carried the ball into the end zone from the ten-yard line. Burns ran for two extra points and the score read 8-7. Hamilton held this lead through the first half although Wesleyan threatened several times. Early in the third quarter Wesleyan scored its second touchdown as they drove eighty-four yards. Two extra points made the score 15-7. The next time the Cardinals got the ball they scored again making the score 21-7. With less than three minutes of the third period remaining, Burns passed forty-six yards to Norm Boggs for another score narrowing the margin to 21-14. The Continentals got their third touchdown when Burns climaxed a ninety- yard drive by a six yard pass to Terry Taylor. In a two- point attempt, the Continentals failed and lost the game by a 21-20 score. Homecoming brought large crowds of alumni and the Sea Hawks from Wagner. Despite the new plays prepared by Coach Don Jones and his staff, the Conti- nentals fell before Wagner 48-20. Late in the first quarter and early in the second, the Sea Hawks returned a punt, recovered a Hamilton fum- ble, and drove seventy-five yards each ending in a score for Wagner. In the -second quarter Hamilton scored its first touchdown as John Soifey plunged across from the one yard line. The half ended with the score 18-6. In the second half, the Continentals and the Sea Hawks traded touchdowns until the score read 32-20. Wagner then went on to score two more six pointers to give the final score 48-20. The Continentals closed the 1961 season at Schenec- tady against their old rival, Union College. The record of this rivalry, which has existed since 1890, shows Union winning twenty-eight games, Hamilton winning twenty-six, and eleven tie games. The Continentals im- proved upon the winning side of the ledger as they downed the Dutchmen 26-21. Hamilton opened the scoring in the iirst quarter as Norm Boggs completed a fifty-six yard pass to Terry Taylor for a touchdown. Another pass to Taylor made the score 8-0. In the second quarter a sixty-tive yard drive netted the Continentals another six points. Later in the quarter a Union touchdown plus two extra points made the score 14-8. In the third period Union gained the lead with a touchdown pass and a successful con- version. Three minutes later Tim Gow scored to put Hamilton back in the lead by a score of 20-15.

The Continentals will be hurt by the loss of six sen- iors-co-captains Tim Gow and Gary Mahood, Norm Boggs, Frank Hamilton, Jack Messersmith, and Harvey Singer-but the returning underclassmen are looking forward to a successful 1962 season. -' AT if VT-ffm . iv up ini. , 1, . . .Mini SOCCER The Hamilton soccer team held promise at the be- ginning of the season with 35 men out for the team, 11 of whom were returning lettermen. Coach Manfred von Schiller stated that the loss of three seniors caused a weakness in the middle of the line, but that he hoped to find men to fill the gap. A scrimmage against Col- gate showed the Continental defense to be adequate, but the offense weak. The team had trouble organizing but finished the season with a record of 4 and 3. Hamilton opened the season against the University of Rochester and lost by a score of 3-0. Coach von Schiller was disappointed by both offense and defense, but he was confident that his young men would improve with experience. The Continentals showed improvement as they de- feated Union 2-1. Frank Bergman scored Hamiltonis first goal in the Hrst period on a penalty kick. In the fourth quarter, Union tied the score, but late in the period John D'Arcy scored the winning goal. Next came the Cortland dragons who were expected to be one of the toughest teams Hamilton had to face. The Red Dragons lived up to their reputation by down- ing the Continentals 7-0. Although Hamilton made as many scoring attempts as Cortland, none succeeded. Due to injuries, the Continentals suffered from a lack of depth. Hamilton next faced a strong Hartwick team. The Continentals, still plagued by injuries, managed to hold back Hartwick, and lost by a score of 2-1. Carl Bianchi scored Hamilton's only goal. The next week Hamilton played host to Clarkson. Due to injuries only four members of the initial start- ing team were able to play. In spite of this handicap, the Continentals won 3-2. Bergmann scored early in the game, but Clarkson quickly tied the score. Late in the second quarter John D'Arcy scored Hamilton's sec- ond goal, and the Continentals led 2-1 at the half. In the third quarter, Clarkson again tied the score with a pen- alty kick. Bergmann then scored the winning goal. The game against Hobart on the following week was predicted by von Schiller to be the most important game of the season. He also commented that the out- come of the game would depend on the ability of the forward line to crack Hobart's tough defense. The for- U.3'51 5 '? '5 ' ward line succeeded, and Hamilton won, 3-O. In the first quarter Frank Bergmann scored Hami1ton's first goal. In the second quarter a pass from Bianchi set up Sandy Stone for Hamilton's second goal. D'Arcy scored the third goal in the fourth quarter. Hamilton concluded the season at home against Harpur. Harpur, having had only two seasons of inter- collegiate soccer, lost 5-1. The team will lose two seniors this year, Captain Gerry Hamilton and Ed Nichols, and will be further weakened by the loss of Frank Bergmann, a special one year student. The new rule prohibiting freshmen from participating in varsity athletics will prevent the team from gaining any new strength, but the experience gained this year should help them to do well in 1962. vigil- - 1 Q Ye c:- gl A, ,.1:. 3-T .lai r 7 ' -nfs' E' : ...,.'. r First Row: Cordelle, Caton, Mason, Nichols, Capt.

Only one letterman was lost through graduation, and a large group ap- peared for practice. The nucleus of the team was still in evidence: Captain Hineline, von Brockdorff, Mc- Martin, Nichols, Barber, and Morgan. A triangular meet with the potential state champs Buffalo State and Cortland kicked off the season. Tim Bums of Buffalo State won the race, and set a new course record of 22:56. Hineline finished second, Cordona sixth, von Brockdorff eighth, and Harms eleventh. Each team seeking its initial victory of the season, Hamilton and Harpur clashed in a dual meet. The Continentals were victorious 15-50, and took the first nine places in the race. Hineline, von Brockdorff, and Cordona were first, second and third, respectively. Next came another triangular meet, this time with RPI and Hartwick. Hamilton won, with a score of 25 over RPI's 50 and Hartwickts 67. Hineline again won with a time of 25:17. von Brockdorff took third, and Harms took fifth place. The Harriers beat Union at Schenectady, 15-47, with Hineline, Morgan, Nichols, Harms, and King taking the first places respectively. von Brockdorff sustained an ankle injury, and the weather conditions slowed the runners considerably. The Conference Meet was held at Harpur on Nov. 11, and Hamilton placed fifth out of twelve schools. Eighty-two runners participated in the meet, and Hine- line led Hamilton by placing seventh. Hamilton's harriers ended their season by losing a close contest to Colgate, 27-28. Hineline blazed across the finish line only seconds behind the winner, Barn- shaw of Colgate, who set a new record for the 4.7 mile course: 24:23. The season's final record was 3-2. BASKETBALL The Hamilton College Basketball team ended the 1962 season with a record of six wins and eleven losses. The team scored a total of 1212 points for an average of 71.3 points per game. The squad was successful with 41W of its shots from the field and with 64'Zv of its free throws. The Palmer brothers dominated the play by scoring a majority of the points and by grabbing a majority of the rebounds. Warren Palmer set three school records: the most number of points scored in a game, 36 points against Utica College on February 173 the most num- ber of points scored by an individual in a season, 378 pointsg and the most number of points scored in three consecutive seasons, 1044. Warren led the scoring with an average of 22.2 points per game, followed by Ken with an average of 12.3 points per game and by John Fredenburg with an average of 10.4 points per game. The rebounding sta- tistics show Ken Palmer on top with 96 rebounds for an average of 8 per game, followed by Warren with 127 rebounds for an average of 7.5 per game. Fredenburg was third, with 34 rebounds for an average of 6.8 per game. The team opened its season on December 4 by de- feating Utica College at home by a score of 81-62, with Warren hitting for 29 points and Hayden adding 18 more. On December 8 and 9 the team dropped games to Alfred, 82-53, with Hayden scoring 14 points, and to Hobart, 89-61, with Warren a.nd Ken Palmer each scoring 18 points. On December 13, the Continentals defeated Clarkson at home by an 84-66 score. The high scorer was Hayden with 19 points, followed by Jack Moore with 17 and Ken and Warren Palmer with 16 each. The Continentals completed the pre-Christ- mas season on December 16 by losing a 77-67 contest to Union College despite the 29 points scored by War- ren Palmer. During the Christmas vacation, the team participated in the Union College Invitational, in which the Continentals beat St. Lawrence and lost to Kenyon and to Union. Returning from vacation, the team traveled on Janu- ary 6 to Troy where it lost to R.P.I. by a score of 61-53. Hayden, Salisbury, and Ken Palmer each scored 14 points. January saw the Continentals regain the winning side of the ledger by defeating Middlebury at home by a score of 84-60 with Warren Palmer and Don Sweeney scoring 28 and 25 points respectively. The team suf- fered its eighth loss, 81-72, to Ithaca College on Janu- ary 27. Warren led the scoring with 32 points. The start of the second semester brought the return of John Fredenburg who had led the team in rebounding and had been second top scorer in 1961. On February 10 the team continued its losing streak by dropping a 78-54 contest to Rochester. On February 13, the team came through, and blasted Hobart 90-48, with Warren scor- ing 20 points. February 17 saw Utica College domi- nated by Hamilton, 92-67, with Warren breaking a rec- ord by netting 36 points. Davidson was second with 15 points. The team terminated its season by losing two games, a close 77-76 loss to Harpur with Fredenburg scoring 20 points, and a 91-71 loss to Rochester on March 3 with Warren scoring 27 points. The team bids farewell to three seniors this year: co- captains Jack Moore and Gary Ferraro, and Woody Salisbury. With five juniors: Warren Palmer, Hayden, O'Leary, Fredenburg, and Armstrong, four sopho- mores: Elliott, Sweeney, Miller, and Pallottag and two freshmen: Ken Palmer and Flakes Davidson return- ing, coach Ken Patrick can look forward to a successful season next year.

The Hill team formed its nu- cleus around these freshmen and returning lettermen Kinne, Price, Smith, Wiltshire, and co-captain Nichols. A strong defensive line was formed with lettermen Cookman, Martin, and co-captain McDonnell. Sopho- more Marks tended the nets for the second straight year with Hohnes Brown backing him up. The Battmen opened the season with a home game against Norwich University. After a scoreless first pe- riod, Grip pumped in the first Norwich goal. Minutes later, the Hamilton team showed its spark when Macy flicked a loose puck past the Norwich goalie. Coe ended the second period with a low shot past Ted Marks. Norwich center O'Neill made the score 4-1, and Sey- mour Smith finished the scoring late in the third period with a sizzling shot past Norwich's goalie, Philley. Scoring was not the only action in the game. In the third period, a free-for-all broke out between the teams, aided by a couple of referees. Both teams suffered a penalty and the loss of one player as a result. Although Hamilton lost its first game, Batt gained valuable infor- mation about the teamis offensive and defensive abil- ities. Ted Marks' skill, was once again demonstrated as he stopped 33 potential goals compared to 24 for the opposition. The next weekend the Continentals invaded Colby College and Bowdoin. Friday night was very black as Colby broke through the Hamilton defensive line seven times. Kinne scored the only Hamilton goal. Saturday, the Bowdoin team edged out a victory 4-3. Marks again proved his skill by stopping a total of 101 attempts that weekend. The Red men from Colgate took a trip to the Hill and returned to Hamilton, N. Y. with a 6-1 victory. Seymour Smith, the Wethersfield Whiz, scored early in the first period. The Red Raiders had scored six goals by the end of the second period. A Batt pep talk suc- ceeded in keeping the third period score sheets blank. December 16, Greg Batt and his boys took a fateful trip to Williamstown, Massachusetts, where a powerful Williams squad blanked the Continentals 11-0. The Icemen from Cornell came down from Ithaca to test the Continental's strength. The Blueshirts held the Big Red team during the first period, but despite Marks' heroic net work and 26 saves in the second pe- riod, Hamilton lost. The Blue men were faced with two big powers the next week, Army and Colgate, and lost to both. Hamilton played excellently against the West Pointers, but they were badly overpowered. Marks added another fine performance to his record by stop- ping 37 Army shots. Amherst bore the brunt of the first Hamilton victory. The Bluemen tore their way to a 6-0 victory with goals by Nichols, Pearsall, and Cranz. Nichols got his iirst hat trick of the year, and Cranz scored twice within 30 seconds. The usual scoring pattern was reversed during the third period, when McDonnell scored two goals and freshmen Woodin and Blake each scored. 1 , , , v t, , XU sis ,Q um The Battmen, still smarting from their 11-0 defeat at the hands of Williams, were determined not to stage a repeat performance. In the first period, Nichols scored on a pass from McDonnell, Williams was held to live goals. The Middlebury game marked the end of the Conti- nentals' season. Nichols and McDonnell each scored before Dates Freyburger and his crew took over and netted eight goals. The Battmen concluded their season by electing Ted Marks as next year's captain. W I H H. .

Second Row: Marks verman SWIMMING The 1962 Hamilton College swimming team was the first to achieve a perfect record since Hamilton entered into intercollegiate swimming competition in 1942. This year all of the previous college swimming records were broken, and six pool swimming records were set by Hamilton swimmers. The credit for this remarkable accomplishment belongs not only to the line swimmers on the team but to the fine training of coach Beaudry. The fact that the Continentals missed a perfect sea- son by 1 point last year inspired them and spurred them on to an undefeated 1962 season. The team scored a total of 568 points for a 63 point average, as compared to the opponents, total of 287 for a 32 point average. The co-captains, Jerry Jones and Bob Warner, set records in total points scored by an individual in a sea- son. Jones with 69 points ties a former record, and Warner, with 89 points, sets the new mark. Warner's time of 50.8 in the 100 yard freestyle puts him respec- tively in the national picture. Jones, who is undoubt- edly the greatest all-around swimmer for Hamilton, has contributed to team scoring in almost every swimming event. Cramer had the greatest time improvement this year, and a repeat of his '62 performance should place him in the same class as Warner. The first two opponents, R.P.I. and Rochester, went down before Hamilton's power, 68-27 and 54-41. In the Rochester meet, Warner broke both the 50 and 100 yard freestyle records, and the 400 yard relay team of Jones, Warner, Goyert, and Lightbown, set a new rec- ord. Against R.P.I., Warner broke the same two rec- ords. J ones swam a record 220 yard freestyle and Gott- lieb set a new 200 yard butterfly time. Inexperienced Oswego was next to fall, 74-21. Ham- ilton took first place in every event. In addition, the 400 yard medley relay team of Stebbins, Sterling, Cra- mer, and Warner broke the college record and the pool I Y . 1....aD'!f 88 record set earlier by Rochester. Hamilton was victorious over Harpur, 65-30, the Continentals breaking 4 Har- pur records and one of their own. The toughest meet came next, with Brockport, who was also undefeated at the time. Brockport had beaten the Continentals 48-47 the previous season's final meet, spoiling our perfect record. But Hamilton came through in a close contest, 50-45. The Continentals broke 4 Hamilton records and 3 Brockport records in the meet. Sterling broke the 200 backstroke record, Cramer the 200 butterfly, and Sterling, Cramer, Stebbins, and War- ner broke the 400 medley relay record. In a second meet with Rochester, the Continentals defeated the Yellowjackets 60-35. In seven of the 11 events, the winner had to break a record in order to win. Cortland and Union were defeated by an identical score of 65-30. 5 new records were set against Cortland and 7 against Union. Cramer and Vickery were out- standing against Union. The Continentals completed their impressive season in true form by vanquishing Harpur, 67-28. First Row: Coach Beaudry, Lightbown, Co-Capt.

Green and Phil Baldenhofer scored the only goals for Hamilton, and Green suffered a broken leg. The first win of the season came when the Blue team downed Clarkson, 9-3. Baldenhofer, Harvey Singer, and Nevitt Steele all scored for Hamilton during the contest, and Hamilton made 60 scoring attempts in all. Next the Continentals faced the powerful Red Raid- ers of Colgate and lost, 11-3. The Colgate team was un- able to open a wide margin until the last quarter, when they collected five goals. The high scorer of the game was Watt Jones, who scored five for Colgate. Singer, Baldenhofer, and freshman Carl Neun had goals for the Blue. Middlebury, a strong team led by Tom Mette, was next in line. Hamilton sustained a lead of 2-1 until thirty seconds before the end of the third quarter, when the Panthers evened the tally. They went ahead in the fourth quarter, but Wier again tied the score. As the 90 game went into overtime, Middlebury again took the lead, and this time Singer tied the score. At this point, however, Middlebury scored three goals in three min- utes to end the game. Goalie for the Blue, Randy Foose, made 71 saves and yielded 29 goals in the four games. The formidable Hobart Statesmen completely out- classed the Continentals by beating them 22-5. Hobart's combination of Atkinson, Marbury, and Ferris, form- ing what is considered the best attack line in the nation, contributed 15 of the 22 goals. Those Continentals who scored were Neun with two, and Baldenhofer, Kepler, and Singer each with one. The Hamilton team was handicapped by the temporary loss of Foose, and they collected more penalties than in any other game thus far in the season. The last game with the nearly undefeated Cortland team finished with Cortland being victorious. This game ended the season and the careers in Hamilton lacrosse of Singer, Steele, Mahood, and Espey.

TRACK Hamilton's track team, in their beginning meet of the season, defeated Union by a score of 92W -38W, winning 12 out of 15 events. Hamilton won the first three places in the two mile, mile, high hurdle, low hurdle, and javelin events. Three freshmen, Bergstrom, Pearsall, and Bratter, won their events. Victories were also due to the talents of the track team's veterans: Hineline, Eagleton, von Brockdorlf, Schaub, Morgan, McCouch, Welsh, and Hall. Hamilton next faced R.P.I., a much tougher oppo- nent. Again they were victorious, and the Engineers went down, 81W-43M. Eagleton set a new school rec- ord in the hurdles, 15.5 seconds. Ulei Schaub tied Ham- ilton's record for the 220. Welsh remained undefeated in the shot put, as did Hall in the broad jump. Middlebury was the next victim, defeated by a score of 95-27. Schaub ran the hundred in 9.9 and Berg- strom's time for the low hurdles, 25.1, was the lowest recorded in many years. Hohnes Brown did 51.1 in the 440, and Eagleton did a slightly slower 15.7 in the high hurdles. 5, -A- 92 The Continentals faced their toughest meet in four years with Cortland, a team strong in both track and field events. Hamilton completed its fourth consecutive undefeated season by vanquishing Cortland by a score of 69-62, and Schaub, Ham and Holmes Brown, and von Brockdorff set a new school record for the mile relay. Eagleton tied his own record in the high hurdles, Holmes Brown ran the 220 in 22 flat, and von Brock- dorff won an important victory over Cortland's Jessup. The undefeated Hamilton team hosted 14 schools at the New York State Collegiate Track and Field Associa- tion Championship meet. True to the predictions, Cort- land, Hamilton, and Alfred finished, respectively, first, second, and third. Cortland had 58 points to Hamilton's 39M1. Schaub was second in the hundred with a time of 9.6. Holmes Brown won the 220 in 21.1 seconds, and Eagleton was second in the high hurdles. Pearsall won the discus, Welsh was fifth in the shotput, Bowles tied for third in the pole vault, and McCouch tied for fifth in the high jump. I 1 i - f ,ff .. 5 av GULF The 1962 golf team was a source of amusement and much comment somewhere. Coach Jones, usually suave and easygoing, by the end of the season was only suave. The members of the golf team also underwent a meta- morphosis and at the end of the season decided that Cortland State wasn't simply a jock school. They beat us, and in the season's last match, too. It all started with a trip to Oak Hill. Talk about tough courses! Well, we beat these guys from Rochester 6-3 because little ol' Dewey Gram knocked in a 30 foot putt on the last hole. Bill Tracy had a 77 for low medal. The next day we went to Geneva to play Hobart. The course was bad and so were they. So, we beat 'em 7-2. Carl Hayden was low with a par 72. So, we had a rest. The guys on the team had talked it over. Yeh, Syracuse was real good, but we figured we could beat 'em. Joe Smyth would have said we were primed. But anyway, these clods from Syracuse beat us. Can you believe it? They actually licked us, 6-l. Hay- den was the only Blue and Bull to win, and everybody knows he has some cheap competitive flxation. But, he had a 68. That's only two over par. At least Mrs. Cam- eron was impressed. Rochester came to see us next, and it was a gas! We might as well not have bothered playing. Same type match, same score. Leon Kantor had a seventy. Er call him the dipper, you know. Why? Oh, it's his swing. We stayed here to greet Hartwick, that's a school down near Burlington Flats somewhere. 9-0, yes, we beat them 9-O. It was awful. Bob Harvey could have won his match playing left-handed. Hayden had a 65. Considering he cheated, that round was not too bad. We went to St. Lawrence next. Dewey Gram went along, because he had a girl there. We won in spite of him. Hayden was low again. The Harpur Invitational is supposed to be the high point of the year. Last year we won by seven. Broke the old record by 12 strokes. We won by seven this year too. It was a tough day to play, which may explain the high score. You know, 74 is not the best score Bil1's had. It was 75 degrees and windless. He chipped in to win. It was hard to believe. He lost ten pounds ir1 the process. Hayden won third in a playoff too. He made an eight foot putt on the twentieth hole. Jones couldn't be- lieve it. Hayden couldnlt believe it. God, were the trophies tiny. Next we went to R.P.I. The coach even predicted in the Courier that we'd win. We lost. Too cocky. Leon was three over par and was low man. It was a long sad trip home. Cortland beat us too, but I already covered that. That ends it. We won six times and lost three. We won some trophies. We lost some cockiness. It was a bad year. But Jon Sheeser will be back next year. That'll make a diiferencel ' H - lt..t- :ai f..,-i'T'-,- X 'ja' l First Row: Miller, Bianchi, Burns, Capt. McDonnell, Elliott, Carrithers, Langstaff. Third Row: Gould, Sweeney, Baum- Battin. Second Row: Joseph, Taylor, Wilson, Lindley, Palmer, bach, Paul, Mgr. Marketos, BASEBALL The '62 baseball season started off optimistically. Puffer Soffey, John Elliott, and Don Sweeney re- turned as pitchers, and basketball ace Warren Palmer made his pitching debut. Powerful Pete Lindley was still around, and freshman Carl Bianchi looked good as a third baseman. On top of all this, there was freshman Ned Wilson, starting first baseman who had broken all of former star Al Ahrenis high school scoring records. The team started the season against the powerful Rochester Yellowjackets and were defeated 12-4. Ham- ilton collected 4 runs in the first inning on doubles by Burns and Lindley, but the Rochester pitching staff kept Hamilton scoreless for the remainder of the game. Sachs was the losing pitcher. But this first defeat did not daunt the team's enthu- siasm, and they traveled to Geneva next where they defeated Hobart, 11-0. John Elliott, the starting pitcher, struck out 8 Hobart batters, then relief pitcher Sweeney dusted off five. Lindley led the attack, hitting a home run and a triple. Miller had 2 doubles and freshman Wilson had one. Hamilton's next victim was Union, whom they blasted, 22-4. Palmer pitched the entire game, and, by the time the game was called after 7 innings, the Continentals had collected 23 hits. The leading hitters were Palmer and Wilson, each batting in six runs. Hamilton opened the scoring with 3 runs in the first inning. Union collected 2 in the second, but in the third, Hamilton scored 2 when Battin sacrificed Miller to sec- ond, and Palmer brought him home with a double. In the fifth, the Continentals scored 9 more runs in an offensive attack headed by Wilson. After yielding two more runs in the fifth, Hamilton again opened an attack and gained 8 more runs for a solid victory. Hamilton played its first home game when it de- feated Utica College by a score of 12-3. This brought their record to 3-l. Next, the team met Hobart for the second time, with less favorable results. Several of Batt's men played an outstanding game, but Hobart was bent on revenge. Hamilton scored 4 of their runs early in the game, with Battin scoring twice and Bianchi and McDonnell each once. The remaining 2 were scored by Burns and Lindley in the seventh. Palmer opened the game for Hamilton, pitching 6 innings and yielding 1 walk before Elliott relieved him. Elliott finished the game without yielding a hit. The Buff and Blue next traveled to Harpur where they upped their record to 4-2. The Continentals' fifth win was over R.P.I. 7-3. Hamilton had 16 hits off 3 of R.P.I.'s pitchers. Wilson and Lindley each had 3 for 5. Elliott, the winning pitcher, was relieved by Palmer in the seventh. Burns and Gow scored early in the game and 4 runs were collected in the seventh on hits by Gow, Bianchi, McDonnell, Lindley, Miller, and Elliott. In the eighth, Bianchi drove home Gow for the seventh and final run. Hamilton then suffered a setback at the hands of the powerful Rochester team and lost 15-3. Rochester had 14 hits, including 2 home runs, off 4 Hamilton pitchers. Hamilton scored one run in the fifth when Bianchi made it home on a single. Wilson drove Lindley home in the sixth, and then Wilson scored on a sacrifice by Palmer. Elliott was the losing pitcher. The following week, Hamilton executed a 7-3 vic- tory over Union. Hamilton's attack started when the Union pitcher threw a wild pitch and Gow scored. Burns then singled to drive in Bianchi and McDonnell, and Lindley walked. Wilson then drove in Miller and Miller hit Lindley home. Miller later scored on an error. Bian- chi chalked up the seventh run in the second inning. Palmer won the game and ended the season with a 3-2 record. The final game of the season was lost to Colgate, 6-5, making the Continentals' season record 6-4. Hamil- ton scored twice in the first inning, with runs by Bian- chi and Gow. By the end of the fifth, Colgate had tied the score. Gow hit Elliott home after Elliott had dou- bled, and Burns drove in Gow to make the tally 4-2. But the Red Raiders caught fire in the eighth inning and collected 4 more runs. Hamiltonis brief rally brought in one more run but could not stave off defeat. Elliott, who pitched the entire game, ended the season with a 3-2 record. Schmidt, Cass, Thiergard, Reilly, Capt. Shorb, Field, Memmott, Sweet, Mgr. Souther. TENNIS Early in March, Coach Weber and the varsity tennis team started indoor practice for their Hrst match against Ithaca College. The team had lost only last year's cap- tain, Don Epstein, and Weber's hopes were high that they could surpass last year's record of 8-2. With the help of returning lettermen John Reilly, captain Stan Schorb, Marshall Field, Don Thiergard, and newcom- ers Sweet and Cass, the possibilities were good. The Continentals got off to a fine start by defeating both Ithaca and Hartwick by identical scores of 9-O. Utica College was their next opponent, whom they smashed with ease, 9-0. Harpur was the first team to score against the Continentals, but they did not get far. Schorb, Reilly, Sweet, Field, and Thiergard won in singles competition, as did the doubles teams of Reilly and Schorb, Sweet and Memmott. The final score was 7M-lb. Hamilton next traveled to meet Rochester, a peren- nially strong team which had defeated Hamilton last season. However, due to the fact that only one of six lettermen returned to the Yellowjacket squad, the Con- tinentals won, 8-1, with Reilly, Schorb, Sweet, Field, Cass, and Thiergard all defeating their opponents. The following week, the net-men again faced Roch- ester, this time with tragic results, and lost their first match of the season, 7-2. But the net-men recovered swiftly, and downed the tough R.P.I. Engineers, 6-3. This made Hamilton's sev- enth win, and Sweet and Thiergard remained unde- feated as the Continentals took all six singles matches. The netmen completed an extremely successful season with victories over Union and Cortland, thanks to the aid of net wizard Tom Wing. Next year, with 22 tennis players in the freshman class, prospects for a good sea- son are bright. K. , Y X K 9 S3 v X 4' -5'-' 4 Q 41, , V . D: 'ff 'Z F :wry ' ' 'HN 1.. - I . .9 ' , . ,g va .

But the yearly rites were carried out, and while we sat around drinking Olbrau Cfour quarts for a dollarj beer, the pledges put the new accoutrements in order and we put the pledges in order. A little later on, after classes had begun, we began making hay a bit too antically for the fifty pound hum- mingbird across the quad. Cries of roopy ty, and SARF echoed from Aurora to Bennington, and a few of the boys picked up a weed or two while sowing their wild oats. However, Seds wasn't fazed by the wheel- around surprise-attack swivel chair, and we emerged comparatively unscratched. Seymouris Hercules Unchained Club remained un- abated, and two Beta boys became eligible for member- ship one night when they finished the job Seymour had begun, and then sat on the bar and watched the wreck- age float down the hall.

Specs used the techniques he had picked up on 46th and Pine to ensnare Miss Teen Queen of 1959, and Haydes sent a bottle of Jergens Lotion to one of his many transient Sweeties.

But we kept on wearing our tuxedos in order to give the humorous issue of the Spectator something to be funny about. During rushing we were the most ex- clusive of the exclusive, but we proved that it's quality, not quantity that counts when the student senators ac- cused us of cutting too many corners. La nouvelle vague finally found a figure head in the Tinymobile, which, decorated with Kline's, Pollacks and Mondri- ans, and appropriate slogans, gave heart to those who looked back to the roaring twenties. Kit despaired, Weltner languished, Roopy tyed, Wing was pummeled, Les insisted, Larkin continued having his nervous breakdown, Bain turned his calen- dar from 1894 to 1895, Serumgard was late for dinner, Colley signed up with the blonde band, Dewey con- tinued his search for the philosopher's stone, and gave us the statistics on it all. Some people liked it and some people didn't. But there was always something hap- penmg.

PSI UPSILON Psi Upsilon sat hunched in the Hreplace with a can of beer alongside Owl. Assembled on the other side of the library was a troop of National Camp Fire Girls par- ticipating in Collegiate Fireplace Round-Up Week. Aghast, they stood and stared at moribund Psi U. Out of ranks stepped the youngest-clearly seven. In a hushed but indignant voice she demanded, What in the name of Our Good Lord is that thing doing in the fireplace? Such a beautiful fireplacej' commented another. Almost too beautifulj' remarked the troop treasurer. Solemnly, in his most pontifical tone, Owl explained, Why he is the old soul of the fraternity-in reality no one, in essence Psi of Psi Upsilon. Surprisingly unimpressed by the talking owl, one of the girls stated forthrightly that Psi Upsilon positively ruined the classic beauty of the fireplace, his deformi- ties destroyed its Grecian symmetry. Why, why, I just don't know, blustered Owl, but to evict him would rob the fraternity of what little spirit remains. He and I sit here all the time and talk of brotherhood, the dear old ties which entwine our hearts. A warm, glowing fire in the fireplace would give this house the flame of community activity, countered the quartermaster. Psi Upsilon raised his hairy right arm and iiipped his beer can in the direction of the girls and as if by magic another appeared in his hand. In unison the maidens cried, Such audacity. That poor, shoddy soul isn't Brotherhoodg he is degener- acyg how can we help him, uplift him? Sadly Owl mumbled, Yes, you have reason. The brotherhood I once loved is dead. Irresponsibility and apathy have raped the fraternal spirit. Mothers of to- morrow, tell me whence comes salvation! The Chaplain responded, Each brick is an integral part of the whole fireplace, it is part of the order, it fol- lows rules. Here may be found Psi U's remedy. Law, order, enforcement of monthly bill payments-hence comes brotherhood. We accept the challenge. Owl: Oh this is indeed very good, but you'll need First Row: J. Memmott, J. Toohey, P. Lewis, L.

From the heavens descended the brothers-mem- bers of the choir, newspaper writers, several half-for- gotten brothers, a few more dressed in basketball uni- forms. Then slowly into the room walked two aged sen- iors, one trailing a hockey stick behind him, the other adjusting his tie and carrying his high school track shoes. The Camphre Girls took charge.

Twenty-nine members went back into the stars, elev- en to Utica, five elsewhere. The two old men tottered out to the kitchen. The Camphre Girls were ilabbergasted. Why do they not stay and Fraternize? Why do they return to their rooms? Why do they go to Utica? Wait Owl . . . those mystic secrets!', Owl was about to reveal all when Psi Upsilon took out his lighter, placed it beneath Owl, lit his feathers, and threw him at the girls. Before Owl could be prop- erly extinguished, Psi U had slowly risen and was float- ing off toward the kitchen, leaving behind him the echo of feet stomping down the stairs, down the stairs . . . Fraternities like soldiers can't march across a bridge in unison lest they fall as the bridge falls. Irresponsible, unknowing, unbrotherly, yet brotherly, they tolerate bliss. CHI PSI Late that September the Brig Sommers set sail. De- spite the complaints of our seasoned oflicers concerning the sea-worthiness of the crew, the on-board scuttlebutt had it that it was a taut ship that would stem the storms of the Little Prince of Root 7 and the wrath of the deck tennis and shuflleboard supervisors. Soon those in the third-class compartment could hear the revelries of automobile magnets and the like ensconced in opu- lence at the Council of Gormes. But these envies were soon assuaged by ribald performances of the equally magnetic Crowl Boys. But as is always, it was the lesser-publicized mem- bers of the Ship's company who made our voyage suc- cessful. With smirks, smiles, and frowns on our faces we watched Donovan become a regular college guy, Spiro, Neward, Sheley, and Waldo suffer for their lack of Moxieg Lix and Porker move into Hawk-eye's pig- peng and we watched, or rather, didn't watch, Hacky arrive by jet for fall houseparty. Only the Shadow knew about Lamont Cranston and his girl Margo and only the Shadow knows when Durdy will ever change his t- shirt. As usual we had our quota of shipboard romances. Millsie and Tena followed in the wake of Yogi, the Chief, and Mike had six months of bliss ere they real- ized that Sherwood Anderson did not really write Our Town. Jump finally found the right kind of girl and Starr paid nightly dividends to A.T. 8a T. Stopping in mid-voyage at the remote port of Dunham, we took on twenty-four new crewmen.

DELTA UPSILON JUST LET'S FORGET ABOUT IT STORIES, NO. I It's a hard year to capsulize. For one thing, Nancy was the first girl president we ever had-and who'd ever thought that Treas would defect downhill this close to the finish. Not only that, but Ham went Russian, and the Bullet got married and a ninety-two Ccount 'emlj ninety-two on his eco records. And if that isn't enough, Hutch got a real car, Wheatley finally got elected to something, Weeds got the treasurer's award Cnineteen checks plus cash for a twenty-two dollar billl, Undies got lovesick-fBuns just got sickj, the little guy got balder, Erls got handled, Derms got his own way-for once, and Slaighter finally got it. Like I said it's a hard year to capsulize. For instance take the parties. Even tho' we were mired down for most of the year, J.K. and his crew played on, Bucker went from zero to sixty in the ice bucket, Jamie's wife was around in spirit, Edie leamed to twist-the hard way, Erls wound up with a girl named Howard Johnson for a Winter Carnival date, the Pres. played around with Peter, and Krembo went to the zoo-while Biggs went to pot. We had a good year and Gotts talked it up, but, as the treas. said once, it was rather taxing-or maybe it was his roommate that said that. Rushing was the do- it-yourself time. Half the house painted, the others plastered, and we wound up with Dewey and the midg- ets. All the eggs were in one basket and we had a ball. First Row: E. Deci, H. Schmidt, D. Devereaux, H.

Somehow we got by, and even the meat loaf began to jell by June. Of course there were some disappointments, and, tho I hate to say it, some downright viciousness. I mean, most of us thought it was a little sadistic for Pit to go around singing t'I'm walking behind you to Skilly for half a semester.

Still supplied by Tau were the football and other teamsg the house average went up and we gained the President's trophy. And McCormack made us all appreciate Nature a little more, sleeping in the Saunder's peonies, and things like that. Crude enthusi- asms, great vigor-the tenor remained the same, and the Spartans of the past, Goose and Paddy could rest assured. From a distance, DKE-Brother Rudd ob- served that the DKE House was about the same, and wrote: When your friends are all mad, And the world seems all bad, And your clothes really are freaks- -Why where do you go?

But we were rich, yes, richer than a king, And admirably schooled in all disgracesg The Red Rabbit reinstituted Fiateering, And we all went places. We worked but little, waiting for the light, And cursed the Kinger's meat, and cursed his bread And Stephan Plant one hectic winteris night, Fell against a wall and smashed his head. The Armer grew lean and pale and stopped his drinking, And talked of Carps, and Perch, and Bass and Trout, And Bob Dietz turned aristocratic slowly, And Quatter's nose curved down into his mouth.

EMERSON LITERARY SOCIETY Life in Emerson Hall this year was characterized by the spirit of amiable emnity existing between groups. We had all kinds of groups-ideological, social, eco- nomic, and pretentious. This, we feel, is a good situa- tion: why try to be all alike when some of us are so ob- viously superior? Each of our groups had its own special ideal or anti- deal. fAn ideal is any lofty belief which ignores the specific, despises the practical, and make bigots of all who disagree with it. An antideal is a reaction to an ideal, or a reaction to people, it ignores the general, despises the theoretical, and makes toads of all who disagree with it.D One of our most forceful groups this year had its home base in Carnegie Dorm. Its motto was Fairness to all minority groups except ugmosf' CAn ugmo is a girl of slight physical charms, who attends Vassar or Syracuse, and does not like grubby boys.J On the iirst Friday of each month Rocky assembled the group to tell what ideals to push for the month. Agreement with Rocky's ideals was almost unanimous Cif sometimes tacitj. 116 The North group allowed more freedom of opinion among its members. The Persian, though a sinner at heart, succumbed to the glassy goodness of Larry of Israel, Allen Johnson Rakewell, the German Jehovah, and Bobby Burnt. Their life was gay and free, but sometimes holy to the extent of being leaky. The Senior Conservatives were led by Doug the Al- most, who-se political and idealogical beliefs were, if not sounder, at least more consistent than those of most leading liberals. The Junior Conservatives usually fol- lowed the line of the Seniors, but since only Arnie the Rebel had passed freshman public speaking, they let him do all the talking. Lacking something of the open mindedness of the Senior Conservatives, they made up for this lack by a lusty appreciation of lifels more con- crete and audible pleasures. Then there were the Swines, covering their thwarted desires for acceptance with a layer of filth.

There was the Sweats, sublimating his desire to join a secret fraternity by practicing daily hate-liberal, lit- erary, indiscriminate, and unintelligent. In the midst of squalor, Mads and Berries managed to retain their iden- tities, and Grenache, despite his chronic tendency to associate with evil, remained uncorrupted. I im Price played hockey. It was a fascinating year for politics. Rocky and the liberals tried to impose humanity on the brethren, in the form of a new rushing plan. However, humanity too has its limits, and in all the goodness was some sloppy thinking. It appeared to many, furthermore, that some of the advocates of goodness tended to con- fine their own goodness to talking about it. Anyway, by December it was time for a change, the Emlitsoc travailed and brought forth Barber, a kind of progressive Dwight Eisenhower, who was blest with the invaluable ability to appear liberal to liberals and con- servative to conservatives.

It was just past midnight when we reached our des- tination, a byzantine ruin separated from the road by a buffalo wallow. As we started up the drive, Holmes, glancing down, whispered Watson, this is dastardly! There are tracks here of a sleeping bag dragging a man! We sped up the quaking side stoop and entered the gloom of the house. Within, someone was thump- ing out Camptown Races and a gaggle of workers were wealing a squat, koala bear-like iigure into the wall with yak pelts.

But where is the Basher?,' I asked. I really don't know, replied Holmes. We might look down cellar? As we went down the stairs, a small, badger-like out- law ran by us and, brandishing a can of Right Guard, sped off on a motorcycle. Behind him was a leprechaun, 119 Meslow, P. Mills. Fourth Row.' D.

As we called out to him to stop, he answered Plutot crever! and went back to his work. They've spotted us, Watson, moaned Holmes. 'fLook, there's Bruce, the Beast of Barcelona, who led the Wilfrid and Gianandrea in the case of the apprentice fiend, the organ-master, and the trained mongoose, for which the world is not yet prepared.

It was to be the best of years for Caton, who took up booze, sex, speech, and power fwith varying degrees of successj, after he had chased out the indigenous wild- life to make room for the turkeys. The Tekes flocked after him: twenty-four sopho- mores and twenty upperclassmen. Cleaning up the as- sorted beercans and bottles left behind by the extinct Court, the TV club moved into the room where knobs are seldom found on the door. The bleary-eyed four were Fat Jack, Golds, Dirty Jim, and Alfie the Kid QNOOOOOOOH Deeaar .... HJ. Mack did come out of the TV room long enough to discover sunshine and Beaver College, and become engaged to . . . What is your name anyway? Soon a Fisch swam in looking for a home. He com- muted between TKE, Dunham, and points East and West in his new Cadillac, and eventually settled on Dunham. After years of downward hillside creep, the conserv- atives under the Culture-vulture Rodent still held nomi- nal sway despite rumblings of discontent from the Un- dersoul. The Animal expressed the revolt, But I don't like harpsichord music! Tyrone, however, stood firm with the Old Guard, I am not a DKEX' The pledge class reflected this incipient conflict. Its leading lights included a 220-pound football jock, a 110-pound oboe player, and an eager aspirant to a Varsity Roller letter. As the academic average slipped with the house towards the abyss, a cry from the past echoed continually through the crumbling halls as Wig- gles asked timidly, 'ADO you mind if I study here? Nelson,s efforts at house P.R. and his eager partici- pation in useless controversies were rewarded by a night-time, vigilante hanging. But Gums had his follow- ers, one Herbie stalked belligerently in his pentagonal footsteps, as another Herbie squeaked malignant assent from a second-floor cage. TKE began to move socially under the Vulpine re- gime, but the Fox went out on the townies one night, and the social season reached its climax when Green reached for and grabbed the Social Chairmanls post. We all hoped he hadn't bitten oif more than he could chew. But his first houseparty was a success of sorts: it featured a jukebox, some Persians, a record beer con- sumption, and a broken dance-lioor beam. During one of those long Goldman vacations, which started Wednesday and ended two weeks later on Mon- day, there was a knockdown battle of endurance fought back at the TKE house. The result was decisive, the Dutchess beat the pants off the Duke: f'Where can I hide? Cpant, pantlj Does anyone else wanna try? Greenwald's Folly still left its mark on TKE, but Scoops, following Cates in the position of Teke plumb- er, brought soft water back to the thirsty hordes. And Dirty Jim transferred the scene of his daily ablutions from the bathtub to the third floor shower. The TKE penthouse did have its luxuries, it provided the cats with a hot tin roof for folksongs, sunbathing, and what- everelseyougotthere. Jules finally gaveled his way through and out of the chaos of long house meetings C'Boy, are you stupid! J, the iCuse commuter route, and hot chocolate with the Prophet. CSO what?J And while Busky blazed to unprec- edented heights as the uncontested fireman-elect, he was rivaled only by the gang-blaze duo of Seebs and the Honker, which set a record for the longest continu- ous gargle in the history of the third-Hoor john. With the return of a sometime gridiron hero from Mount Vernon, front-lawn frisbee died in the football dust, but despite the heroic efforts of the Wonder-Weir and Alfie the Kid in the Sage Rink, Green's clutch hitting during the softball season, and One-Hungis volu- minous statistics, most of the house kept up its pseudo- intellectual pose of non-intervention in the world of intramural sports.

Transportation upon the nation's or the Hill's thoroughfares posed problems for Puetz, but not for Sneaky John and the magic gas gauge. Classical music-ite M.

Cracking the whip of excommunication, the big K held authority over the rebellious Goose-steppers. While the one was not treading on little Bobbie or drinking soup, and the other was not watching the trains or driving the Arnimal around the country, the two Pennsylvanian mountaineers engaged in their fourth annual feud.

With the coming of the Spring and the proverbial bennies, Stine can be seen on the Beta front lawn with English book, sunglasses, and Coppertone in hand, ready to once again assume his title of unofficial bronze god of the Beta sunworshipers. The Winter and Spring seasons have seen Willy on Gene Long's punishment squad, where he garnered a first place in the New York State Meet in the high jump. Not- withstanding, when the call of the wild came, he managed to feign great knee injuries and motored off to York, Pennsylvania, for therapeutic treatment. One of the ultimate rollers of the current age, Bill is capable of relating horrendous tales of Ft. Lauderdale and Daytona Beach during the annual influx of college students. Next year finds Bill in Dickenson Law School, but we of the Beta feel that Stine's latent purchasing ability renders him more valuable as a confidence man in the business field. JOHN HALLIDAY ARFMANN Gryphon Ridgebury, N. Y. When Barfie came to Hamilton, he had only two true loves as far as anybody could ever tell: food and hounds. Girls? He didnit discover them-or rather her- until his junior year. Nobody can say John didn't learn anything in his four years at Hamilton. He learned how to play golf, how to manage the swimming team, how to handle the affairs of state of Gryphon and, as his most recent accomplishment, he learned several different ways to drive a Volkswagen up the Hill. The Hill wasn't the only place the Old VW went during Senior Year, though. Maggie, as we all knew her, learned the quickest route to St. Lawrence in no time. Even a VW can learn it if it goes every weekend. The North Country trips proved profitable-never was such a little Moose considered such big game. .Thei little gold tin can proved profitable too, and even though it was only for pennies, it was a worthy cause. We understand John will be taking a government job next year, so we can all know our country will be secure Land Barfie will probably be seasicklj 126 RICHARD SPENCER ARNOLD Alpha Delta Phi Briarcliff Manor, N.

The grandfather and President of Alpha Delta Phi was too old and decrepit to participate in any but intramural sports, and his mind was set on becoming a college graduate. He was fond of saying, It's taken me only 9 years to graduate, I hope, and Do you realize that these Freshmen were only in the fourth grade when I was a Fresh- man? A. D.

Woodstock is supposedly the home of the artsy-craftsy set, so when Biggsy hit the Hill he taught himself how to play the guitar. As a freshman, Norm decided to be square with everyone and he ended up in the DU house for the next four years, during most of which time he spent trying to eat enough of Dorothy's food to make Don Jones' first squad. The Slats and Marvin spent the whole year trying to justify his existence on the fact that he was a football player. In February, Biggs made the unfortunate choice of hooking up with Black Bart as a roomie. Such was to be his fate for the next 3 and W years. In the Spring, he went out for Gene Long's squad and he's been trying to find a specialty ever since, but he just couldn't make up his mind among hurdling, high jumping, discus throwing or tossing the javelin, but he lettered anyway-thus justifying his existence. In his sophomore year, Don made the mistake of starting Norm at quarterback against Haverford and thereafter Norm was an end. He even led the team in pass receiving his senior year. Despite the adamant opposition of Black Bart and a long string of passionate young ladies, Norm found true love and in of all places--the downstairs john. Now that he had proven himself as a lover and a jock the led the house intramural teams in the winterj, Norm continued his attempts to star for the Chem Department. For all his efiorts, the house finally decided to let him be Vice President and scholarship chair- man for his last semester, so what happened-Norm became the unofficial house critic. 127 THEODORE WILLIAM BOSSERT, IR.

MAXWELL BRACE Theta Delta Chi Fayetteville, N. Y. Packing his intellect, a fair amount of athletic ability and a great personality, Max arrived on campus dragging his shirt tail behind him. While here he mastered the rather difficult arts of survival after a roll, a behind the back dribble, a hooking back-up ball, safe driving in Saratoga Springs, and a smattering of Greek. He even found some spare time for economics. Nobody knows what really happened to Max, but reports received corroborate one man's observations of something resembling a shirt tail iiuttering toward a place in the sun late one afternoon last June. PHILIP C. BREMENSTUHL Emerson Literary Society Wurtsboro, N. Y. Sleeping giant that he is, Phil has proven to all of us that the early bird doesn't always get the worm. By napping during lunch and working into the night, he managed to conserve his time for more important things. Like wine, women, and song. The colorless liquid that filled the decanters in his room was usually gin- it improves with age -and the girls he entertained were more often than not musicians he had discovered on field trips to Smith, Goucher, Wells, Geneseo and, yes, Cazenovia. It was as Choir manager and a Buffer that Phil achieved distinction and a warm friendship with John Baldwin. Between naps, he managed t?J the board department at the home of the Emerson ideal. Despite a yearly deficit that ap- proached the national debt, Phil provided adequate nourishment for some sixty-odd Emersonians. From the hills of Wurtsboro to the sands of Florida, he exuded the studied nonchalance for which he will be remembered. Never one to indulge in the vagaries of house politics. Campbell, as he was rarely identified, simply stated that he was right and left it at that. Once accustomed to his habits, Phil's friends seldom objected when he lost a borrowed tie or forgot to prepare an eleven o'clock. When he packs his rain hat. banjo, and Marlboro boxes, Phil will enter the laboratories of a giant industrial complex to provide better living through chemistry. If he remembers to wake up, Phil will be a success. 128 ROBERT C BRANDT Emerson Lit. Society DEAN C BRUNEL Emerson Lit. Society HARVEY M.

When Harvey came to Hamilton as a freshman, he consciously sought only one honor, a gold key, which bauble he'd wear to bed given half a chance. Since that time, however, he has unintentionally accrued about all the keys and honors that Hamilton bestows. Although he was a rotten-borough senator for two years, his administrative career actually ilowered in his senior year when power politics and counter-strategies daily harassed the paid administrators. He and his cohorts often stumbled home from nightly meetings exhausted and red-eyed from intrigue fatigue and Cuban cigars. But all this was at best a side show, for his real interest was in rocks and local construction. An independent tnon-Outing Clubj eaver, not above entering iron mines, he and Ferguson have personally inspected the underpinnings of Clinton. Hamilton College did not field a College Bowl team, but at the urging of Senator Bricker, Hamilton is having a Sesquicentennial year. 129 TIMOTHY K. BURGESS Independent THOMAS WILLIAM CANTWELL III Delta Phi Albany, N. Y. Most people who know Tom find him a very easy-going, friendly sort of guy. His first two years he spent much of his time enjoying Bach and Scotch. Junior year, he learned how to study. Majored in history. Once in a while he'd play hockey for the houseg he was even rushing chairman one memorable year. Sometimes he went to Glee Clubg sometimes he set up lights for the Charlatans. Knowing his cultural background, I wouldn't be surprised if he went to Newman Club. Well, now he's about to graduate. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if he did. His friends will miss him.

CATERSON Alpha Delta Phi DAVID WALTER COLBURN Gryphon Bemus Point, N Y Hmmm This problem just doesnt seem to be working out right In fact this whole math course doesn't seem to be working out right. Famous words, these, from a not so famous mathematician who came to the College from the wilderness of Chautauqua County armed with an old clarinet and a desire for knowledge and liberal education. Having survived the rushing system, Dave dug in for the academic grind. Perhaps the hole he dug that first semester was a little deep, but, undaunted, he perfected his techniques, steeled his nerve, and moved deep into the land of differential equations. But math was not enough. Time and effort brought member- ship in the choir and a tuxedo in the closetg the clarinet bought a spot in the band. Still not content, he moved on to women with moderate successes. Then came those black days in the math department, resulting in a strategic withdrawal to English as a major. And so it went, ever striving for education, ever striving for graduation. He gathered his rosebuds while he could. RICHARD HOLLAND COLE Theta Delta Chi Wilmington, Delaware Charlatans 1, 2, 3, 4, Production Manager 3, Business Manager 4, Alpha Psi Omega 4g Sailing Club 1, 2. Colie is the kind of guy who would like to be known as an iconoclast. Especially condemned in his sight are some of the most venerable institutions of this college- compulsory chapel, 5-6 athletics, basic language requirements, and all such vanity and vexation of spirit. On the other hand, he is neither reformer nor revolutionary, in fact, he is an insouciant scoffer. In his creative reveries he envisioned elaborate devices for sabotaging campus routine, while rarely if ever did he actualize even the most modest of these visions, although he had an unhappy penchant for detonating cherry bombs. The key to his attitude is his deep-seated appreciation of the relative values of the good life, and the useful knowledge of the means-or gimmicks- whereby these values are realized. Those who would emulate his apparently effortless apathy had best be advised that behind his offhand indifference lies thoughtful self-appraisal and unique ability. Anyone can effect the appearance of this attitude-the meaningful yawn, the in- different shrug, and the condescending smile-but few there are who can maintain this imitation in the face of academic reality. For four years Dick has successfully warded off the world of academic necessity and embraced the world of gemiitliclzkeir. 131 JOSEPH VINCENT COLLEA Tau Kappa Epsilon Utica, New York Joe was the best roommate on campus what with ravioli, lasagna and macaroni dinners only a fifteen minute ride in Pierre, the naturalized Simca. The first thing he learned at Hamilton College was to hate portable radios. No- body saw much of him his first two years. He spent quite a bit of time standing in fireplaces, and then he ground. He continued to grind until he succumbed to the cry of Dandy Donuts from the driver's side of a blue Vauxhall. Having thrown in his lot with the Factionus Apatheticus Pre-medicus, he settled back to buying dish- washers, throwing people out of the house after supper, and recruiting women track stars for the Peace Corps. Joe's future looks bright. Already he has climbed his way up the ranks from the basement of a government apartment building, to a refrigerator, to a convent, to a coming-out party ftravelling incognito, of coursej. Next year, he enters med school with a standing bet and a flashy white Simca. We hear him exclaim as he grabs the sheepskin: Mickey Mouse is a fink!

When he had a car he wished for a horse, and when the car stopped, he just kind of wished. But a lot of wishes were fulfilled, and although the four years went by mostly to the strains of a melancholy minor chord, there were some sustained bursts of bright, happy sound. Most of the girls were bright notes, if a little sour at times, but there were a lot of them. It wasn't that Dave was fickle, but that he liked a change. About every week. And even the car was ok-despite its appetite for bearings and springs, the top went up and down pretty good. There were other things that were pretty good, too. He didn't just imitate Yogi Bear's voice, he even looked like the creature when he wanted to. While the steward's job wasn't all pleasure, and didn't exactly increase his love for the house, things kind of smoothed out after his famous statement: I gotta get up in the morning and meet the new cook. Just one more. And there was a friendship with Ted which is quite a good thing to take away from four years anywhere. Many a party became a good one by virtue of his Git-er playing, and became better affairs for him when he learned not to treat every date nice all the time. His prospects for the future changed often, and ranged during his imprisonment here from potential doctor to potential Alaskan snow shoveller. Three quiet years pulling Jersey swamp-bugs from his tuba will give him time to find something worthy of himself. BRUCE K. CONOVER III Delta Upsilon East Aurora, N. Y. Even since some of the boys taught Trip to play poker freshman year, he has known that the world is against him. The Tigers can't finish first, his blind dates are sophisticated, Hoopty-do-hockey had to be played on the iioor and he couldn't even win at no-peeky. The hockey injury at the tail end of his career merely added insult to injury. However, Keeter, like a true sportsman always came back. He got pinned fso what if it was by mail?J, Buffalo got a football team, and Howdy not only liked country music, but volunteered to wake him up in the morning. Trip's greatest gifts to his followers are his collection of puns and his lair of legal lechery. The punishment he took in his Semantic battles with Pick n' Chic will long be remembered, The tree hut will always be dear to the hearts of those brothers who have the vanity to suggest that they might have a use for it. Trip always said that the location of his room was poor if the Hush was weak. Many of the fans are waiting for Black Bart to return from that bout with an Army barber. Heill proba- bly discover that Metrecal isn't the quickest way to lose weight-and haircuts are cheaper. Well, the choice is between joining the Royal Canadian Mounted Police and becoming a Gaucho. So what's wrong with drawing to an inside straight? 132 SAMUEL R. CROWL Chi Psi Waterville, Ohio Charlatans, Directorg Root Art Center Boardg Alpha Psi Omega, President, Nous Onze. The Spheroid is a Corpus Torundus with a sepia proboscus. It dines solely upon sweets, starches, and meat prepared by the male parent. Despite its large size, it can move about quite rapidly with the aid of a tight, wheeled metal shell into which it squeezes with great difticulty. By means of this shell, it travels tremendous distances to engage in elaborate courting ceremonies with favored females of the specie. The Spheroid is at once the most intelligent and naive of animals. It displays great affection towards all living creatures and is deeply wounded when more primitive species react to its overtures with malevelance, because they are unable to regard spheroidal expansiveness as genuine. Unfortunately, Spheroids are very rare and may be found only in the vicinity of small academies or colleges, for their chief characteristic is that they can thrive only in such microcosms, where the fatal maladies of reality and practicality cannot reach them. Our Spheroid leaves us, we hope, for the protection of another microcosm. In his pleasant way he mellowed the wrathful, encouraged the faltering, and befriended the lonely among us. We will not forget him. BOB DISNEY '-1, 'Hit E, tem GEORGE J. DECHET Psi Upsilon Philadelphia, Pennsylvania Junior Year in Germany, German Club 1, 2g Biology Club 2, 43 Soccer lg Duell Prize Scholarship. The news broke with unexpected fury. Herr Liedke took it stoically, reread Fausz, strode off to Root Glen to compose an epic. Herr Browning sunk into a foul de- pression, lamented the loss of a blossoming Ubermensch from his coterie of disciples. Harvey, while relishing the opportunity to pontiticate in a logically expounded protest to the Spectator, deprecated the succumbing of his friend to all that is Evil. Mr. Wertimer vented his outrage by withholding the VW license plate for the rest of the year and, feeling that a Haw in the social rules precipitated the crisis, took steps to interfere more effectively with his small but pudgy hands in the private lives of his students. The brotherhood of the Psi U Haus dropped trou in astonish- ment. Their All-American harpy, who had suffered through cadaverous blind dates freshman year, wild and immoral hussies sophomore year, their very own Attila the Hun, had fallen in love. The news was indeed momentous. It seemed a time to rejoice, but George, caught between the ideal and the material, between geist and leben, faltered, pondered, relented, and finally gave in. He relin- quished the pin. Though he still threatens to pull a Schweitzer, the conflct seems resolved. George can at last contemplate with aplomb his future as doctor, father, Renaissance man. Only sporatically can he be found sweating in the steamtilled shower room, beating his flesh with birch cuttings, muttering morosely and repeatedly to himself, Cleanliness is next to godliness, cleanliness is next to godliness .... Theta Delta Chi 133 JOHN DOBRASZ Gryphon Niagara Falls, N. Y. Dobs came to Hamilton to learn about the American way of life and to learn to speak English. His first experiences in the Anglo-American culture of the college were traumatic. He was soon rammed and sunk by the British battleship Crossley when he wasn't able to stand against the seventh generation tory, whose ancestors fied the battlefields of Saratoga to consolidate their wealth in Canada. Crossley stole his woman, and the little Pole was crushed. The establishment of the old Lambda Chi House had little use for the vanquished, and they sneeringly referred to him as the one from the Pripet Marshes. But don't forget, Poland has nurtured some of the most cosmopolitan of Europeans. And with his first year's experiences tempered by a summer in Buffalo's Polish culture, Dobs returned for his second year with a hardi- ness and a suaveness that earned him the title of The Polish Aristocrat. He forgot about his lost woman and made frequent trips to Vassar and Mount Holyoke. He became a sophisticated Gryphon bartender and social chairman. His grades went up as his self-confidence rose, and he became Bill Starnes expert on Stanislaus Ponistow- ski and the first Polish partition. But like most Polish aristocrats, Dobs overspent his allowance, and he had to recoup his losses. He bowed to the inevitable and went to work for a year. His diligence at Kimberley-Clark caught the attention of his boss, and he was quickly promoted to chief pad-packer. By the end of the year, Dobs had earned enough to travel abroad, but with his true aristocratic humbleness, he felt the need to help others. He traveled in a German work camp for the American Friends Service Committee. Dobs returned to Hamilton this year looking like the stand in for a Schweppes ad. With a pith helmet on his head and a gin and tonic in his hand, he and his immigrant friend, John Rocco, became known as the Hamil- ton College International Set. Dobs' cosmopolitan talents will be put to good use when he goes into Air Force intelligence next year. The Air Force has already made him shave off his beard and is saving it for a future disguise. JAMES H. DREWS Theta Delta Chi Pelham Manor, N. Y. Following in the same, but somewhat smaller, footsteps of brother Ralph, Jim arrived at Hamilton in the fall of '58, and pledged Theta Delt, under the impressive guidance of Mr. Porter. We shall never forget Barbee's occasional visits and the all night lawn parties, and the never ending forays that eventually curtailed visits for a semester or two. But such setbacks failed to daunt Jim's prolific imagination that concentrated on the West and Caz with a record breaking 31 trips to the home of hot-crossed buns. A period of reconciliation with Barbee and Jim was off again to Middlebury, followed by a brief cessation again, due, not this time to amorous difficulties, but to visual difficulties on an early morning drive through Mid. Col: his foreign iron tangled with a tougher domestic brand. To avoid such harrowing problems again Barbee decided to transfer to a school in New York, where Jim would only have to contend with the cars, and not worry about the road. At such a thoughtful gesture on Barbee's part, Jim thought it polite to ask her hand in marriage. Jim leaves Hamilton for Albany Medical School, bringing with him fond memories of his Ubas Cup performance on, of all times, Parents Weekend. DONALD E. DUNFEE Emerson Literary Society East Winthrop, Maine Out of the Maine woods he came, the rude uncultured youth, into the worldly sophistication of Hamilton College. The rustic swain, having spent his life chopping oak trees, now had to make his niche in the social world. Fortunately, the Emlitsoc beckoned, and he found himself in the company of other untutored woodsboys. But now, how to rise in the land of learning and cultured society? Dunf tried tennis, but finding himself continually unseeded, gave up this sterile pastime. Still a social acorn, he retired in despair at the end of his freshman year to the dark forest. There he saw once more the moaning trees, rooted helplessly to the primeval earthy and he resolved anew, I CAN do it! I CAN! So back he came as a sophomore, and tried to rise in the world by running cross-country. Three miles later he quit, and his sophomore year, for purposes of social advancement, ended. The junior year brought Nancy Csigh!J, and Dunf found more to the world than meets the eye. But eventually love withered like blueberries in a dry spell, before Don had hardly sprouted.

Elghanayan sat hunched over Man, Money, and Goods. A big, 100 watt G. E. Mazda light bulb hung over him illumining his world. Across the book lay a shadow. With an insight that makes prophets, Elghanayan pushed aside the book, caressed Samuelson gently, and pronounced to his fellow-freshmen, gathered thereabouts: This new word of yours-'self-transcendence'-is a hoax. Now Elghanayan, being more at home with action than with words, set out to demonstrate what he meant. A year of concerted research brought him near the brink of irrefutable success, but a burst of spring exuberance shattered the G. E., and Elghanayan sojourned in darkness. In the Autumn he returned to the Hill with a Westinghouse fluorescent. Having purchased a visa to the land of Academia, Elghanayan tnow rather competent in his new languageb grasped the bull by the horns, harnessed its energies to a deep-set plough, and turned up several acres before the share was tinally dulled.

DATELINE CLINTON-An object, first thought to be a well-used tea bag but later identified as the body of David B. Espey, 21, was discovered late last night at the bottom of a tea cup. A positive identification is being attempted through an investigation of several articles found in the saucer, including a broken pair of thick lensed glasses, an empty checkbook, a copy of Look Homeward, Angel, a snap shot of Henry Miller, a little used lacrosse stick, and a travel folder from Madrid. Al- though the cause of death was tirmly established as drowning, police are baflled as to whether the deceased was a victim of homicide or a suicide. The discovery of a small, sinister-looking black case indicated that the deceased may have been a victim of poisoning. Investigation revealed, however, that the case contained only a pair of contact lenses. Police added that the possibility of foul play was not entirely ruled out due to the further discovery of a scrap of newsprinting containing a Letter to the Editor written by the deceased several weeks ago. In light of this fact, the obscure editor of an even more obscure newspaper is being held for questioning. Police also disclosed that in a small pile of sugar nearby was found what appeared to be the tracks of a penguin and the word Nausea 135 SHEPLEY W.

I mean who else would wander all over campus waving to just everybody? And who else would sew a Hamilton patch on a bright red parka? But he had Sam, and we all like him. He had some good qualities, like being an idiot Savant in biology, and Edison with a spool of wire and an electrical outlet, and a good roommate. Despite his being a primary fire hazard, he even ran for TKE fireman. Did he put out any fires? Ask Keith Austin! Nonetheless, Sam was in Troy, so he just joined FAP, bought a dish- washer, attended mass, temple, and Ham Coll Chapel, and inherited some stock in Dandy Donuts. Waving his cherry-iced donut, he plotted the final destruction of the court and talked of Sam as he drank his coffee. Boy, I shudda gone to Union! He was a man of extremes as well. He was at times very quiet or very talkativeg very good in biology and in an absolute maze when it came to carbon-bonds. Most of the time he seemed in a bit of a hurry . . . except, of course, when expecting a call during the weekends. He threw zoos whenever he was slightly delayed on the way to breakfast. Thank God, breakfasts were rare. Next year he'll find himself completely happy with medical school and a new wife.

Arriving from Vermont Academy, Lyon was dragged through his first D.K.E. party by his older brother, but then set out on his own. Discovering that parachuting was more sport than polevaulting, he terminated his relationship with Gene's team, and turned towards less demanding Sunday afternoon sports. His proficiency in economics soon made him fast friends with Sid, and realizing this fact, Tau elected him president. Despite the fact that the brethren could never be certain of his whereabouts, due to a tendency to put the VW to a distance test many Saturdays at midnight, Lyon performed admirably in his position. The summer after junior year .was spent sampling Europe's best, and he returned so influenced by continental culture that he joined a French Club with ten others of similar interest. Senior year found Lyon, for the most part, at the Teapot, where his suave dinner manner made him fast friends with Humphrey Providing he can avoid being trapped by too many quiet dinners, the future looks promising. Although it has been said that he's a problem not only to himself, but to his friends, I can't help but disagree-after all, he was my best friend. 137 DAVID A. FRASER Chi psi Syracuse, N. Y. Continentalg Charlatans. Et tu Gregor Gregor is a penniless artist who paints exclusively with imported yak brushes supplied to him at fabulous expense by his patron, Professor Henry Rope. Just how Rope and Gregor became acquainted is an interesting story in itself, but we had better supply some background material before relating it. Gregor lived in Syracuse, a most unbohemian industrial city and one in which Greg was continually behind the eight-ball. The city lacks garrets and wild chicks, both of which Greg's subconscious cried out for during his formative years. I iirst got to know Greg when he was a senior at a small jerkwater college in Clinton, N. Y., which is nothing like you'Il ever see before or again. He wasn't even a bohemian then, because Clinton boasts no garrets-unless you count the faculty oflices in Middle, and the wild chick industry has been on the skids ever since Sid the Sterilizer took over the social reins. Gregor was soon discouraged from painting because nobody ever approved or disapproved of his work-it just peeled and cracked on the lodge walls. About three-quarters of the way thru his last year, Greg got the urge to go to grad school, and that's how he became friendly with Prof. Rope, who was the chairman of the art department. He and Greg exchanged letters and portfolios and Pablo Picasso trading cards until Greg looked like a sure bet to be accepted. The only question was what kind of assistantship he'd get-he always seemed to need money. The only formality left was the standard letter of recommendation from his art department, and Greg wasn't worried, He asked Mr. Centime, who was a big time American artist-so big in fact that everybody called him THE MAN, to write the letter. It turned out that THE MAN was still carry- ing an old grudge for Prof. Rope and, since Greg had been bragging at the studio how buddy-buddy he was with the Professor, THE MAN decided to write a nasty letter. Needless to say Greg didn't make it and also needless to say, if Greg learned one thing at college, it was not to give THE MAN too much rope, unless you want to hang yourself.

The Philadelphia lizard slithered in front of the Lodge T.V. set, yawned, and prepared to tolerate four years on the Hill. He declared a three year moratorium in his blossoming romance to avoid the tedium of writing letters and informed others close to him that phone calls would be acceptable only on the downstairs phone and should be planned to coincide with commercials. In spite of his permanent apathy, this lotus eater nonpareil remained firmly convinced that, if he wished to demon- strate, he could prove that within the toad's exterior there lay slumbering a mighty intellect and super athlete. To those who doubted the immensity of his ever-latent potentiality Willy responded with a disgusted facial contortion and a beery belch that shook the heretic to the roots of his disbelief. Lizard shifted his gaze from the T.V. only on those occasions when his old friend John Zoo arrived to spread horror and confusion throughout the Lodge, and, after the clearing smoke and dying screams gave proof that his monster had departed, he would smile slyly before renewing his endless video vigil.

Ifjsrry made the jump from a big-time high school to a small-time college in September of 1959. Along with him Larry tknown to his friends as Punchj brought excellent grades, a prominent athletic disability, jock socks, and a brown scarf to clash with his black galoshes. When he got to college he thought he'd make a frat, so he looked around and looked around to see where he was at. Snow jobs from uphill wasp houses failed to impress Punch, but he fell in love with the sturdy individualism and not so sturdy white walls of Tekedom. Between the Simon Pure walls of the scotch tape castle he met tweekers like Needles, Dirty, Fox, and the Seebs. Later Punch became the official TKE chronicler in spite of an insidious plot by the opposition which was headed by Gums. Punch worked in his leisure time and squeezed through the ivy-covered Chapel walls in three years while taking high honors. In his last semester at the Hill Punch lived with the vagrant Seebs in the gorilla cage. For a time he ran a Punch and Judy show after his novel, Punch and Zooey, flopped, and he even became an executive in the S.P.C.B. During his last semester at Ham Col Punch continually querried, Why didn't I go to Columbia or B.U.? After three years of sweat, tears and frustration Punch left Ham Col and the tweekers for Columbia P. and S.

Neal arrived on the Hill as an eager biologist, but a D in Quant and a Doc Gerold comment on an attempted dissection- Goldman, that dogfish looks like it swallowed a grenade -convinced him that he'd never be a doctor. So he went to Yale Law School. In his sophomore year Neal moved down to TKE. Soon after, he became a candy maker, and following his innate racial bent he decided later to make some money in the retail trade, becoming a candy vendor. Then, one frigid winter night in the TKE living room, Neal singlehandedly reached his high on the Hill, that is, before Neville tripped over him. Other troubles with Neville followed, like when the Prytanis tried to remove him illegally from the only elected ollice he ever held. Neal's elected oflice, however, was but one phase of his illustrious political career, he was the most unlikely looking Irish ward healer ever to hit the Hill. As a freshman, he masterminded the presidential campaign of loser John Jamieson, he lost again when he backed Adlai. But all this was mere preparation for the ultimate victory-the election of JFK, in which Neal played no small part. Finally came Neal's transient senior year. He met Sybil. He became a prophet.

Although there were almost four deaths from pneumonia that year, might makes right, and fresh air triumphed again. Sophomore year Donald decided to try the same technique on the wooden world.

As time passed, despite his fixation on dogfish sharks, test tubes, toads, and Donna, he passed them all up in a klanking regurgitation of ah, who give's a rat's a--!, only to turn to his Night Stand library and the twist, which was not easy for a machine.

Lhude sing By George, in celebration of an historical milestone! For after 5962 years of exhausting anticipation came a' las' our Crusader. And he came not to destroy the mores of our confusion, rather he taught us to order our lives by finesse. Once he sat down and said, If I find it expedient, I'll even eat flies. Our Crusader didn't stay here with us very long, only four fast years. But he spent the time drying his ears and unwrinkling the thoughts, getting ready for his grand world- coup. The first year he developed a latent obsession for collecting records. Music became his foremost concern, and the next three years often found him either racing through Sam Goodies' or debating the musical Absolute. fWe soon found that he loved to make points.J Our Crusader quickly discovered the use of vices, and spiced up his life cultivating them. Several women eventually ended up on his altar of expediency, partly because none of them could tend bar. But he grew extremely selective in his choice of vice, frowning on sleep and Pall Mall cigarettes, and supporting the Bicardi-Filter industry. A few minutes each night he spent thinking about Physics. We were amazed, but he taught us that Physics lends itself more easily to a feeling forn communication. Music thus became his embellishment, and Physics, his tool. And hardly before he had played the last note, our Man was suddenly gone. All we had left were a locked social closet and a hysterical choir director. Now the Crusader is in South America teaching Advanced Stratagem and plotting to overthrow the world. And so he lives on, slowly fulfilling the ancient predictions, slowly hanging mil'stones around the neck of history. WILLIAM A.

His roommates sighed, realizing that some- where at college, Jake had lost his memory. There used to be a time, it was said, that Jake remembered what his assignments were and studied in advance. But that was long ago, even before the mystical phone call in South Dorm. The loss seemed to be complete by his junior year when Jake became incorporated into Ken Patrick's endless string of stories by forgetting to bring the basketballs to the Clarkson game. It hadn't improved by his senior year, and a certain insurance company in New York will remember him as the guy who showed up a day late for his big interview. Though his memory slipped away, Jake never lost his two most characteristic traits-his determination and his often cynical wit. Down at the Lodge, he never won his futile tight to eliminate Sunday barf or booze-bagging, but the would-be jock was used to frustration. There was the time, for instance, when he had the psych department snowed until he managed to electrocute his rat. But Jake had his moments of glory too. His greatest triumph came at a stoplight in DeWitt, when he and the Rabbit taught some hoods a few facts of life. And he never stopped singing the praises of his already legendary car of the ages, which carried him around the country and an equivalent number of miles in trips to 300 Walnut Place. Although Jake was quite impressed with his liberal education until he started looking for a job, his future is still bright. He leaves Hamilton with but one field left to conquer. 145 A. THOMAS JONES I DONALD BRENT JOHNSON Delta Phi Summit, New Jersey WHCL 2, 3, Harpoon Club 1, 2, 3, 4. From the ilowering of dogwoods to the flowering of minds came ole Spide. When the Dean spoke to the newly arrived Class of '62, he told a joke that wound up, There's more to a college education than books. Always one to heed the word of authority, ole Spide, not yet steeped in the subtleties of academic humor, made those words his guide for the next four years. Not that he didn't ever study-'tis a known fact that he did. But the Dean did say that wasnit all there was to it. With little ado, Spide found and returned the friendship of those who thought about things as he did. Not that he couldn't or didn't get on with people who thought differently-he did, sort of. But when it came to doing things, he was a bit more particular. Always full of cheer-or its effects-Spide made life on the Hill as enjoyable as possible. Not that he simply stayed on the Hill-he didn't. He roamed to all sorts of faraway places to meet new people and see new things. He loved to ride in cars-the only thing wrong with most of 'em was their lack of an ice box. If they didn't have a radio, he'd take along his trumpet. That usually made folks buy a radio. But he always loved music, especially jazz. Wherever his room was, he always had a hi-fi, and it was nearly always going, pouring forth jazz and blues. He could always appreciate that kind of music and the people who made it. He appreciated most people, for that matter. But he never cared to associate much with pretenders-some- how he just didn't care much for oif-stage acting. Parties he enjoyed. He even had a date occasionally, and even liked one or two-but less occasionally. Funny thing- his dates almost always liked him. Nice way to have it, as was most everything for Spide whilst he abode on the Hill. Whatever he decides to do after this long-awaited June, he will not be forgotten. The halls of Chi will never be the same without him. All who knew him will always remember him, and his closer friends will always seek his company. Good ole Spide. Delta Kappa Epsilon MICHAEL N. KAISER Delta Upsilon Roslyn Heights, N. Y. Tennis 1, 2, 3, Continental, Editor 4, Charlatans 4, Kirkland Essay Prize 4, Pi Delta Epsilon, Alpha Psi Omega. Mike Kaiser is a friend of mine who has an enormous problem. He has spent four frustrating years attempting to discover whether he is the world's greatest athlete, scholar, actor, or writer. He caused great dissension in the Kaiser clan four years ago when he brazenly refused a tennis scholarship at N.Y.U. and lumbered off into the wilderness to study semantics under U Ba Luin. After hitting a two iron over the trees onto the ninth green, U Ba lied in horror leaving Mike firmly in Mox's hot little hands. Things went along fine for a while, but then Mike got tired of going to lectures so he vaguely clobbered a backhand shot out of sight, raced olf of the courts, and ran into the woods bordering the fifth hole. To his great amaze- ment he discovered a thin, black man immersed in dervish concentration of a 1-1-4 wood. Mike quietly asked the price of tea-cups, and the man ecstatically replied that he had asked the RIGHT KIND OF QUESTION, so the two sat down to a dinner of scorched rope ends and saki. What fun this pair had. They went to caves, quibbled over the spelling of boom and took a course together for credit. Unfortunately for the thin, black man Mike read a book about Carrick and became an actor. The real reason he did it was to get into Dr. Sam's crowd where he found he could be the world's greatest athlete, scholar, actor, and writer because nobody really cared except an amorous Indian maiden. So Mike became happy and wandered off towards the West clutching two thousand copies of the Continental to his chest. 146 CHARLES COOK KENNEDY Delta Kappa Epsilon Elmira, N. Y.

As the Fl-1-lamer leaves Hamilton for the last time, and the windows are thrown open to give the place the first good airing it has received in four years, it is well to look back on the career of Elmira's answer to Errol Flynn and learn. He arrived from Loomis with a seriousness of purpose matched by none, but, fortunately, Gray rescued him from the thankless quagmire of intellectual pursuit and introduced him to the heady taste of vice. It was a match made in heaven, and Smokey, the last of Sherman's bummers, stalked the road to corruption with fire in his eyes, leaving scorched earth behind him. Warming up with the Great Caz Earthquake of 1958, Abdullah's and Hopkins 10-4, Smoky hit his stride with the gentle sex, and became a legend. Even Small Sid was impressed with his nonchalance C'Judy, I'd like you to meet Jay. Jay, Judy.

After all, it's not every- one who can get bailed out of a jam by the timely death of an oppressive justice of the peace.

Gather around and let me tell you bout a change that took place, of a lad I once met who arrived weak and left strong, from diffidence and quiet to one quite brash, of a boy who had seen nothing but soon saw it all, trading in history and Spanish for numerical stunts, observing for cheerleading, a horn for a few, forgetting the past for a taste of the new. Yes, let me tell you of a guy I once knew who from a follower a leader became, from a jester a King, from an observer a friend, from a scholar a ham, from one who cared not to one who gave quite a damn. What's that you say? You don't know the guy? But you've seen him around both at work and at play, in the library asleep, on the basketball court, at Sage and 'Cuse, Wells and Skids, a noddin' and laughing and looking about. You've read his name, I've no doubt, in the paper and Dean's List, and Van Slyke's note in the gym. You've heard his voice, now loud and clear, over PX coffee and Chi Psi beer, and perhaps in the Libs where a friend might pass with a smile of grin- Hey Baum, how's it going? You in here again? Stand back a bit, give the Jump some room, for now, no resting, its onward and upward from Kirkland's tomb, from the Chapel and balllield, from Science and Root, his departure unannounced, no carrier pigeon, 100 miles West and North just a smidgen. JAMES STANLEY KOZERA Delta Upsilon Hadley, Massachusetts Leaving behind the tools of the farm, Jim arrived on campus in the fall of '58. Unlike some, he waved no banners or displayed his honor pins. Rather he came al- most unnoticed and with the intention of settling down to four years of hard work. And hard work is what he did, at least during the first two years. Cards and bull sessions competed with his academic endeavors during his last two years. 108 South Dorm gradually became known as the lounge where anyone wishing entertainment could go. And they came! Visiting hours and appointments were even established to accommodate the multitude that wanted recreation. Oddly enough, his grades im- proved these two years. An ardent student of Economic, Kozy Kas he was called by his D.U. brothersj approached situations in a practical manner. To him, the world consisted primarily of supply and demand curves, revenue and cost curves, and consumption and invest- ment functions. When asked for his opinion on Gomer's Philosophy 25 course, his reply was interesting but insigniiicantf' No tears will be shed when Kozy graduates this year. No stone will be laid in his honor at Ham. Coll. He probably will leave as quietly as he came. But no doubt remains in my mind that he will be remembered by those who, knew him. ARTHUR JON KUSIENSKI Delta Phi Clinton, N. Y. Phi Beta Kappa, McKinney Prize Speaking Contest 25 Young Democrats 1, 3, Vice Chairman 3, Newman Club 1, 3, 4. In September, 1958, the pride of Clinton Central, a big, dark, and burly Irishman named Kusienski, arrived at Hamilton for freshman induction. He seemed innocuous enough to everyone, but by his sophomore year his room became the center of ignominious weekend revelries, the base of operations for a liquor-distributing syndicate, a dispensary of hedonistic literature, and a recruiting office for DKE. Kusienski himself never studied, primarily because he was a philosophy major. The government department in particular could not stand his arrogant and displeasing manner, and its three members initiated a nearly-successful move to expel him. Kusienski hated politics, religion, romanticism, and baseball, and was a dedicated apostle of laissez-faire, rugged individualism, and the Protestant ethic. In the fra- ternity, his persuasion was that of a bedrock grubg he delighted in getting drunk in house meetings and throwing darts at the President. Nevertheless, Kusienski was a man of liberal mind and lofty ideal. In his sensational senior year, he refused a bid from Phi Beta Kappa because it did not embrace total opportunity, and he formed an honorary organization of his own to spite Harvey Bricker. He was not allowed to graduate because of Chapel delinquencies. Angry at the world, he left for Monte Carlo in search of fortune and adventure. 148 WILLIAM BA.lN MacLACHLAN Sigma Phi Sidney, N. Y.

MacLachlan knew he had just destroyed the underlying concepts of an entire society, and he knew he had better have something of value to replace them.

At Winter Carnival he invited the illustrious Betty Boob, who proceeded to break down the storeroom door when the barroom group began to get dryg and the sweet little girl from Elmira who was also present, was left in New York over a petty argument. As a beer salesman and poker player, J eff made enough money to frequent the pubs of Utica.

After a brief appearance in the second floor center, Paulie, you-know-who calls him that and we all think its kind of cute too, ascended to more stratospheric heights, and began to grind his way towards law school. However, as we all know, the mills of justice grind exceedingly slowly, and Paul was soon sidetracked into more gentlemanly pursuits. Happily though, he managed to remove the taint of the cor- ruption of Rome, and with Nancy securely in tow-or maybe it was the other way around-embarked on a senior year program of diligent application to his studies.

It all began when a handful of I-Iendy Avenue citizens became disgruntled because their evening paper was always hours late. They decided the only solution was to take up a collection and buy their newsboy a one-way train ticket to some remote town where newspapers were unheard of. Clinton was the unanimous choice, and one dark rainy night their problem was quietly ushered out of town. Our rail-rider was despondent. From the corner of the freight car he heard the gentle rattling of church keys. He crawled over, lit a match, and much to his amazement there sat Pope John, Ben-Gurion and Mel Allen all sipping UC's and playing monopoly. Hey guys, need a fourth? Mel Allen looked up bleery-eyed, switched on his amplifier and belched. Wel- come, we've been waiting for you Johnny. When they reached Clinton, Johnny quietly locked them in a closet fwhere they were perfectly happyj and began a successful low-pressure campaign for the mayor- ship. He ran under one slogan- I hate newspapers. The campaign was tedious, but our boy never folded. He was benched once-but no one ever tigured out why. He carefully selected an advisory board that included a variety of nationalities- O'Hara, Steinbeck, Hemingway, and he threw in a rather worn-out lizard, showing his great concern for welfare legislation. Anyway he emerged triumphant only to discover that his friends had broken out of the closet and had joined forces with the lizard and an odd shaped tennis player to save him from his fate. They made their escape to the open road. No one need tell us about Prince Hal. We knew him. 154 WILLIAM ROBERT MORGAN Gryphon Camilus, N. Y.

Coming from a proud family that included three Presidents, five Cabinet members and seven Senators, Bill decided to follow the family tradition and become a Jeffer- sonian Yeoman. Farmer Bill, sort of a Hamilton Arthur Young, quickly discovered how to use his new found talents and soon became the pride of Hamilton's History Department-especially in relation to Spooley's advanced discussions on the farm problem. In order best to make use of Bill's ability to speak at length on any un- important subject, Gryphon soon realized that it had an ideal representative for the Student Senate. As a member of the first total opportunity rushing committee, Bill feels very close to the present system. Sometimes dogmatic but always humanitarian, Bill was recently heard saying, I knew we needed a S1000 fine and loss of sun- bathing privileges for houses that wouldn't obey the spirit of the law. Being a five year man, Bill is one of the two remaining Gryphons who remember the LXA traveling secretaries, the Woolworth pickets, Bobo's last class, arguments with Ivan about the weather, the molemen, and the day of Crabb's first drunk. After three years at Hamilton, junior year at Bennington, wild Bill decided that a year's leave of absence was required in order to straighten things out down at the farm. In his last year, he decided to bring the farm with him-two horses, a load of hay, riding equipment and a distinct odor. Bill still found trips to the farm on weekends necessary.

Sophomore year after a hot campaign Bruce was elected TKE fireman-remnants of his tenure may be seen in the Sig Goatroom and he dated the fifth in a long line of ministers daughters Then disaster struck: he met Jeannie Gone were the carefree days when the expenditure of a nickel was a problem of grave concern Now money flowed out like water and his daily cost of living rose from S0 045 to S0 45 Chemistry and calculus gave way to some success in biology and a trip to Germany he learned to say Wie viel, bitte in Twelve separate dialects.

Nelson arose from the relative obscurity of his freshman year to the top of a tree as enemy number one of the Robustus americanii, the defenders of the lets be pals ideal. There were to be other changes during his four years at Hamilton. During his first year he roomecl with such illustrious characters as Crazy John, future Chief Justice Possum, Dingleberry, and Jo Jo the Dog Boy. He spent his senior year as mornmie to sixteen squalling freshmen and Herbie. He dated June- Feel-Nothingg then Deanna, the Syracuse starting fullback. Eventually he developed control of the TV room by slyly removing the doorknob. And, after several months of fish on Fridays and church early Sundays, he became a beefeater and one of Colin's less convinced listeners. Never suffering from what Rolfe Ferguson called intrigue fatigue, he managed to outmaneuver Schepmoes, persuade Bricker fifty percent of the time, and satisfy McEwen, even if four out of live Philadelphia doctors weren't. And he made ever so many friends. r Team 1, 3. Woods Hole, Kathy, J an, Barbara.

John came to Hamilton for the first time with an untuned guitar, a new hockey stick, a typewriter and a diploma from Loomis School. He doesn't seem to have regretted pledging Theta Delt in that first hectic week. He began making his mark on Hamilton at Struben Field, where, as a converted halfback, he would have scored but for Peter Black. As co-captain he tried to let Gregg forget his strapped knees, though he insisted Uncle Sam take some notice. The discordant strumming of his guitar and the sound of rebounding hockey pucks still echo through South Dorm. John joined in sporting rolls in white Triumphs and in flash lighting on the road from Skidmore. He knew many interesting people, Gary Davis and the Reverend to name two. He directed his limitless talent into anything and everything: a short experiment in song writing, The Appendectomitus Blues, high drama portraying the emotional Dr. Benjamin, cartooning and the Good Scout, Just No, remember Dr. Ingalls, and Jest No, some high hopes. He has achieved the much deserved recognition and respect of his classmates by his election to every honor society and the Honor Court. Momentarily, he seems headed for Spain to gain more experience for the books he intends to write. We share his hope that he can succeed in his one ambition-writing. John leaves the Hill with a tuned guitar, a shattered hockey stick, a worn typewriter, a well-earned Hamilton sheepskin and the respect of all who have known him. BERNARD O'CONNOR, JR. Alpha Delta Phi Floral Park, N. Y. It was a warm September afternoon when the long-nosed Irishman strolled into South Dorm. He looked like a scholar, and for awhile, had everybody fooled, includ- ing himself. The days were occupied with classes, studying, and opera. There was something definitely lacking: women and alcohol. But, then, there was that eventful day of Winter Carnival his freshman year, all traces of naiveness seemed to disap- pear. Who gave a damn whether or not they made the hockey game. Better things were happening in 323 Dunham. Cyranose had found a new aspect of life. Women came and went as did the not so occasional nip. He never could understand how the black, brown, and blond hairs got on his sweater Cwhich went naturally with the smilej. However, his favorite sport was picking off fthe sweatersj the reddish-orange strands. Hard as he tried, he could never get rid of his pin. He used every approach possible, he even resorted to the intellectual approach, but the atmosphere of the library did not work. The quiet little suburban town of Floral Park is due for some alterations when the social climbing Physics teacher moves in. He'll be demonstrating Newton's laws of gravitation with one hundred dollar bills and fifty-cent pieces. That's what happens when you're from suburbia, especially Long Island. He'll suit the flock well. RALPH OMAN Psi Upsilon St. James, N. Y. Basketball lg French Club 2, 4, Junior Year in France. A basketball limelighter just long enough to join Psi U, Ralph disavows as an aberration his perfunctory participation in several Hamilton organizations. Appendi- citis dissuaded him from playing another season of basketball, and the second Hamilton winter convinced him ,that a third would be intolerable. So he journeyed to the land of sin and debauchery and found there the fabled proper perspective. Back on the Hill senior year, Ralph discovered that the proper perspective and good marks were incompatible, and the Good Oman of pre-France days was now called the Bad Oman. He began to hand in papers late, plaguing Nes with his infinite capacity for taking pains. Mr. Oman is painstaking and painsgivingj' declared Nes, and Mr. Ellis seconded the verdict, though somewhat less elegantly-'LWell, gee, Ralph, this is a term paper, and the term is over, 1 don't know if I should accept it. Sitting on his spine in the once-plush red leather chair in room 9, the sage would jolly ex-towermate Harvey and other tempest-in-a-teapot politicians for their mock enthusiasm for burning campus issues, or Dr. Gove and his new prescriptive diction- ary for his deliberate attempt to ruin the language. Ralph filled his expos papers with this mellowed red leather type of commentary, bemusedly lamenting the lack of vitality and the ingrown self-importance of Hamilton. Someday he may entertain readers of the New Yorker with these same objectively perceptive observations. But again those deadlines. Well, gee, Ralph, this is a weekly magazine and . . . He goes off now to rediscover the improper perspective so once again he can live with his fellow man. After all, misanthropy, a social disease, can be cured. 157 HOWARD A. PALMER Alpha Delta Phi Waverly, N. Y. It was probably at Selkirk that Howard's Destiny was shaped for Hamilton College. Hap loved college until he quickly realized the harsh reality of deprivation in this collegiate community. Rendez-vous with Romance was his theme song which was to create four years of well calculated maneuvering, with occasional upsets. Politics and Schwann played second fiddle to whiskey sours, Filet Mignon, roomy Chryslers, and trips to Rochester Cseveral times for sister Pegl, Washington tSueJ, Boston OJ, Philadelphia, Athens and Chicago UOJ, and even Elmira CMartha, Ellie, Sue, Bar- bara, and J oycel. Hap had his fads of golf, skiing and dieting, but these actually faded faster than the women he sought, found, and tried to conquer . . . but alas, he returned con- quered and sworn to modern platonic relationships. From his couches surrounded by magnificent stereo, the young aristocrat from Pillar Farm lectured on life, love, and labor, leaving all but life and its collegiate opportunities behind. He was famous for his periodic houses, for his knowledge of amphibious mammals, the causes and effects of exophthalmia and back trouble, for his unmentionable parties and dreamy dates. People will remember him for his pipes, Winstons and Bentleys, Sours and Drambuies, Chryslers and Dauphine, records and stereo, squash and toboganning, swimming and isometric contractions. In all, several brothers have experienced generosities and traumae few people have ever enjoyed. DANIEL NEELY PARKER Chi Psi Norcross, Georgia Shucks, you-all got potties inside yoah houses up healer! Such were the slow moving, slow-talking Georgia fa.rmboy's first words to the lodgers. Pork left Grandpappy Frank's smokehouse with the barest of essentials necessary for survival in Yankeelandg a pocketful of Rich's stock, an amiable temperament, a small, but nonetheless important, quality of twhat he calledj Yid- dusha savoir-faire! Anyhow the Pork decided the best way to avenge Sherman's March was to get a little of Cwhat he calledj Yankee military discipline-and off he went. He came back some months later with short haircut, a trunkful of bourbon, and a sparkling new Impala-and, oh yes, Alex. He needed a ...,.,,.,. which he sent for, received, and subsequently returned. Then there came a movie binge. Early shows, late shows, and a couple of special shows with Holly-come-quickly fwho everybody remembered for her role in Break- fast J. Pork was unsuccessful in his attempt to lure the Eastemers down to Frank's Half- Hundred Acres, but he did manage to sully up the Southland with considerable success.

Les shifted uncomfortably in his borrowed choir robe and mortarboard headpiece, as the voice of the valedictorian droned on. . . . and in these troubled times, when such questions as the space race and national defense .... Counsel for the defense, stately, plump, Buck Mulliganesque W. L. Peat, rose to cross-examine the witness. Impeccably clad in a Tripler 3-piece suit and a regi- mental striped tie, he strode toward the witness stand, flaring his nostrils ever so slightly. Mr. Beresford-Trent, he began. You have testified, under oath, that you saw the defendant leaving the scene of the crime, from a distance of forty feet. That is correct, stated the witness warily. Sir, intoned Peat. I refute you thus! The Farmer's Almanac says that there was no moon on the night of June 9th, so you could not possibly have identified the defendant, even if you had seen him. Pandemonium broke loose in the courtroom. Flashbulbs exploded, spectators wept, swore, and faintedg the beautiful, sloe-eyed Buffalonian millionairess, Patricia added the ta-pockela-pockera-pockem of her 6-inch spike heels to the din as she raced to embrace this man who had just acquitted her financier brother from a charge of premeditated murder. The voice of the District Attomey was lost in the noise, as he protested that the murder had taken place in broad daylight .... 158 WILLIAM DAVID PETERSON Gryphon Canisteo, N. Y. Coming from an almost unknown burg, Bill sneaked up the Hill his freshman year and spent his first semester in continual fear that it would be his last. Emerging from this trauma in the upper quarter of his class, he went on to diminished worry and higher averages the remainder of his four years. Returning to the Hill his sophomore year, Bill embarked on a career of wowing the Bio department and prov- ing to the Psych department that notall its laurels go to majors. Even Colin Miller came into his own as one student finally undertook to peruse all the assigned reading. Junior year found Bill somewhat less tense and making his decision to enter the rough and tumble of medicine. It was in that year also, that setting aside the some- what conservative bias of his background, he could be heard quietly admitting that he backed Jack. He also developed something of a taste for sherry, which advanced to scotch and soda, and finally emerged second semester Senior year as a rather persist- ent call for bourbon-straight bourbon. Having come through the ardors of applications and interviews, he landed a spot at mother Yale, where, having switched wombs, he will begin hatching his M.D. After four more years he will emerge into the world where, let's face it, everybody wants to pay to be helped. JAMES HENRY PRICE Emerson Literary Society Troy, N. Y. Hockey 1, 2, 3, 4, Sage Rink Attendant 2, 4. The way I see it is this: Jim is kind of a paradox-a hockey-playing philosopher, Socrates with a baseball gloveg or look at it this way: a noble savage with an education. To put it as briefly as I can, Jim's philosophic education was gradual but steady, and has proven priceless to him. Now, when he was a freshman, he did not see that the relationship between Barnard and him was to be platonic-Jim was three more years learning that Plato, like all other philosophers fexcept perhaps the Neo-Epicureansj should never be applied to life. Well, now that you mention it, Jim, amateur psychologist that he is, considered learning some psychology, but found the behavior of the psychology professors rather ratty. So he put his All into philosophy, and the results were astounding: unable to find philosophical justification for absti- nence from either sex or alcohol, Jim succumbed to both, but with an admirable restraint that no one would suspect from watching him eat. I may be being vague, but when Jim in his junior year roomed with a grey haired pedant who was oc- casionally useful as a dictionary and an expert on Sibelius, and' when the Academic Council suggested in writing that he work harder, his fortunes rose. What I mean to say is that he learned how to speak and write clearly and concisely, how to shoot a paper towel, and how to extract the underlying philosophical ideas from a motion picture. And girls now began to flock to him with a passion inexplicable to anyone who has seen his knees, the way it worked was that Jim, once the rejected, became the rejector. But now take it from this angle: Jim's own philosophical problem, or which all the philosophers from Thales to John O'Hara have been no help whatever, may soon be solved. For in this cavelike world of appearance, the United States Armed Forces loom as real as Platonic Forms. JOHN SYDNEY RANDOLPH Psi Upsilon Freeport, N. Y. Track 1, 2g Freshman Council 2, Newman Club 1, 2, 3, 4. John came to Hamilton with the idea of pursuing the gentlemanly arts of a liberal education, meeting some nice college girls, and maybe a little fishing in his spare time. Although the last objective dwindled on the vine, the other two blossomed forth. John, affectionately called Randy by some female lovelies, took in the whole spectrum of girls colleges from Vassar to Russell Sage. The telephone company profited as innumerable quarters were sunk into the metal monster for the weekend's plans. But how they all loved him! John attained prominence in house .activities by becoming social chairman. Under this administration the cocktail parties were re- versed and the bands scheduled at odd times in a series of little understood but always accepted changes. Nevertheless all the brothers realized that it was John who kept our parties running smoothly. Aside from such social activities John always found time for the academics of a liberal education. His home away from was found in the upper courses of the history department. John leaves Hamilton to study what has been sometimes called the sophisticated profession of law. 159 PAUL THORVALD RASMUSSEN Psi Upsilon West Hempstead, N. Y. Swimming 1, Biology Club 1, 2, 3, 4, International Relations Club 2. The transition from secondary school to college is normally a difficult one. Paul's chief obstacles, as with most of us, were Dunham Dorm and Freshman English, both overcome by application to the task at hand. The next three years were marked by devotion to the sciences, a necessary prerequisite for all Hamilton pre-meds. Welcome respite was found in weekends at those traditional places of higher learning, Vassar and Wells, and in occasional festivities at 'The Barn. Paul's academic career was highlighted by brief sorties into the world of the humanities and the social sciences, from behind a solid array of bio-chem courses. Paul Parker never failed to provide an outlet for Paul's aesthetic leanings, and a brief bout with Asian History sufficed to satisfy his curiosity regarding this relatively little-known field. Affectionately known by the brothers as the Whistler, Paul will become a wel- come addition to Columbia Dental 'S'cl'1ool. His one regret upon leaving Hamilton is, Why didn t I take some Lit. courses.. ALLAN GORDON REEDER Delta Phi Madison, N. J.

Not that he exuded great spiritual qualities, or had many past lives or anything like that-but he was a leader, because most of the time he was right. The house gave him lots of things to do-handling the presidential gavel and the house managerial hammer Cand the stewardial spatulaj. Never one to study over-much-but then how can one be a student in Economics- Al preferred the social side of collegc life. A once fine Buick now shows the effect of many a trip to almost any place that can be reached from the top of desolation, and Luchini Ballantine will be forever grateful for the Reeds' large capacity. There are many trivial things which will be fondly remembered about Al Reeder- an inordinate lust for spaghetti and women, an oli-key clarinet and a funny stringed iiddle, a Moss-like skill at the wheel of an un-Moss-like Dodge, a tenacious clutch- tingered grasp of the bottled goodness of life, a desperate stop of a wild throw from the shortstop or a speeding slap-shot from a DKE, his white tie and tails at in- congruous moments, his notes of sanity amidst the confusion of an over-legislated otiicialdom. But more importantly, his generosity and straight-forward leadership will blah, blah, . . . etc. JOHN WHITE RENFREW Tau Kappa Epsilon East Aurora, N. Y. Glee Club 1, 2. After one short semester, John accomplished his first notable deed-academic pro. He turned to greater things. Loder named him Fox-something about Renard, red hair, and his personality. Anderson broke his razor, Romeo broke his shaving mirror, and Scotty broke his heart. In retribution he tore down window shades, smashed Och's nose and shattered Pat's hopes. The F-P girls bought him clothes and wrote. He rolled to P'keepsie, South Hadley, Northampton, but after Mike Markowitz, was ready for Caz again. Vosselloryouclod got so excited she dropped her contacts down the drain . . . Pure Science was sacrificed for dirty rats . . . Fox returned dignity to the office of Pylortes, nearly spent as much as Smyth on TKE parties, lost half his wardrobe to the Algerians C'Hey Herb, what the hell happened to my clothes that were on the closet shelf? J. There were super-Goldman weekends.-John's impeccable manners and Sig dress were unsullied despite four years with the tweakers. It was not beneath the WHASP, however, to promote the pitless wonders and be second only to J. P. Moulton in high finance. He nearly blew up the lab in Physio, but saved the clothes and began dressing like a Theta Delt. He tried out the Infirmary-the Drs. ordered no booze, but somehow the kidneys got worse. But now John has left for mid-west psych-without Miss Peyser, lab books and Lundin's U.C. Remember him by . . . There's one nice thing about Spring, you can drink outside . . .

RICHARDSON Independent Muskegon, Michigan Rich had an interesting time at Hamilton. In the first place he was fresh from Canada and a physics major. He had some rough edges and a great propensity for Canadian Ryes. Kester and Moose thought that scaring dates by sliding down the bannister at them wasn't too smooth. So after many months of smoothness lessons he threw away his hand painted ties, stopped shooting a hockey puck at the beer cans on the mantle and fixed up fifteen guys in the house from Syracuse. His troubles has just begun, however. He had to drop- physics. Brownie and Kaubs threw the rods on his Ford tunlicensed, unregisteredl, and he moved to the Mid West. No one can really understand why Rich liked horns on the fender of Joe Louis, or why he had a dismantled engine in his room.

Three years ago Bob returned to Hamilton after his four year rest in the Marine Corps. He picked up a lot of stories in the Corps, and there are few students at the college who haven't heard at least one of them, but no matter how often he told the stories, Bob always managed to get an audience. Bob spent a lot of time at the P.X. and at Vassar. From Vassar he got a wife, from the P.X .... well, it saved him from studying. He has seldom, if ever, been to the library, or in fact to class. He makes friends easily, and it has been suggested that this helped him to get through school, certainly his judicious selection of courses was an aid. How he'll miss Mr. Parker's art courses, and the economics major. Bob managed to get through the service, and college, become President of the Class, get a wife, and a job. So, all in all, he has done fairly well. In fact, some say that Watson at I.B.M. is beginning to worry about his job. 161 R Gryphon DAVID C. RISING Alpha Delta phi Chatham, N. J.

Listen, you shuddup, or I make you a new mouth! ROBERT B. ROCKWELL Emerson Literary Society Saratoga Springs, N. Y. A few weeks ago a muddy skull was found by Albert Bontificus in one of the Science building's waste cans. The professors were given the skull, and when they had cleaned it, they found, writ small upon the occipital of that skull, these words: In a small Eastern town a young man springs up and races toward a group of buildings. Their location is dubious, as well as uncertain and tenuous. The young man does not know where he is going, he starts, wanders aimlessly with determined stride, and stops . . . ponders . . . no directions, but he hurries on. 'TNQGI EEAYTON' is inscribed on the headband of the tumpline he bears, and a globe depends from it on the young man's shoulders. He gestures like an Indian seeking Buffalo, and, now and then, he looks through the loop which his leftist arm, akimbo Ealmoist in attitude of angerl, makes with his cheek. Something is missing, not to be oun . Sandals appeared on his feet. His back turned red and so too all the rest-not tan but a toga that was coloured so. Tromp. Tromp. The left arm fills with a jille- what was missing, perhaps. Now no thing is a miss. In taking his arm she bumps his collecting jar. It falls and is lost in the hem of his toga-it doesn't break, but is only lost. Tromp. Tromp. Glaaapfft Csplatter-ploshl. He is sick, not long. Now hand on his sheath knife- Oh warrior youth, you have to dropt your knife. Re-arm, re-arm to be as man should. CThe girl turns the globe upside down, and it rides uncomfortably. The head- band slips out of place. The sandals fall from off his feet, the toga is shed and is kicked into the dust Ca red stain remainsj. Shoes now constrain his feet. They bind-the shoes don't tit. Government-issue leather-much too dry and stiff. Stinks too. He takes the shoes off. He is sitting down, looks contemplatively at the bloody blisters. Some heal, but some ooze for a while. He goes barefoot now, and quietly-mud between the toes. The air seems fresher? He sniffs at it, smiles, and goes on. New collecting jar at his side now, no knife sheath, either full or empty. The globe is gone. The girl is gone, but some of the grin is new, and not gone. Now he is gone. Goodbye. To the men in Science, this all seemed either silly, stupid, or just a joke on them all. No one has quite decided what to make of the scribblings on the occipital skullbone. No one of them even wants to hazard a guess, although there must be, even for men in Science, some occipitational hazards. 162 JOHN THOMAS ROMEO Tau Kappa Epsilon Plattsburgh, N. Y. Good Morning Bright Star. Huh? Fresh out of Plattsburgh, well, enough said! They told me to shoot for a star. I did and missed. What now? He slept a lot. Roomed with Kennedy K., Schackman taught him how to play Frisbee with matzoh, the Bigot told him about the BVM and her fat legs, and Ehrlich showed him 1000 ways to goof off. Du Bon Bon made the scene for four straight years despite the sterling one's predictions that such a record was impossible. He just didn't know how effective Bleak House could be. Apathy personified, and he was almost a BMOC his Freshman year. 'Tm not conceited. I've never felt this way before. Whee, I'm a lawn mower, rhodatorry, rhodatorry, rhodatorry.

Carrying a bar of soap in one hand and a lampshade in the other, Jocko rode his High School letter on to the Hill with a hearty cry of: I knew I shoulda' gone out for football! After the Tausters solved their ideological disputes, and the Dean had distinguished the Library from the gym for him, Frank's fine academic attitude led him through TV sets, Halloween parties, Snowbanks, politics, Carnegie's windy corner and several rock piles, only to conclude, I'm tough . . . Sir! With moral support from the Hopkins 10-4 Club, Frank strove and drove his way to the Dean's team, four rooms, the Baseball diamond, and the hearts of horrified faculty kids in that uneventful Sophomore year. But it wasn't until Junior year's roof-flying caper that he Hnally got the story straight, and spent a night of solemn contem- plation in a nearby church. Realizing his previous iniquities and desires for Straw- berry jam, Frank resigned himself to the Tube. Finding his 'preoccupation with thc Untouchables, touchables and bridge rather ungratifying, Frank turned his efforts to the organization of the Sesquicentennial program and the training of the Tau Terriers.

The Fall of '58 saw the arrival of the Berries on the Hill, and what can we say except we'll never see another one like him. He played a little ball, but he won't be remembered for his sweeping hook shot or his dodging defense and board work. QAlthough he actually held Shotgun Slade to 42 points one nightj What the fans will really remember is the picture of the Berries with a sickening grin and an upraised arm blessing the crowds with what has since been known as the Utica Salute. Who else but the Berries could be a member of such selective and ultra-conservative organizations as Monk and Swine and still maintain rapport with the rest of Emerson Hall? Who else but the Berries could manage to preside over the television club and still find time to make the Dean's List now and then? CThe academic one of course.J Only the Berries could flop on the floor like a hooked fish after quafling too much of the good grape at house party tome. And indeed, who else on the Hill could answer to the description of 6' 1 , 195 lbs., and as the old rancher would say, that boy just keeps hanging in there. As the Berries leaves the Hill, it is the sincere wish of all who knew him that he continues to hang in there, and you know, I bet he does! 163 MICHAEL M SHACKMAN Delta Upsilon DAVID RAY SANGSTON Alpha Delta Phi Northlield, Illinois GAVA 1, 2, 3, 45 Garden Club, President 4.

In the fall of 1960 the Hallowed Halls of the Psi reverberated with the authori- tarian rumblings of Ueli Schaub. However, Ueli was ditferentg he occasionally assumed the role of keeper at the Psi Zoo. In two fleet years Ueli distinguished himself in Cinders 3, 4 and Kinokunst- Gesundheit 4. In our eyes the brilliance of his track career is dimmed by his mastery of ballistics technology. Hours of diligent research led to sporadic, often inaccurate, never quiet battle against the Dekes. After a call from the Deke's very own campus leader Brother Snottimer, we persuaded Hamiltorfs plastiqueur to cease and desist. However, his efforts were not entirely of a destructive nature.

Despite such bone-chilling enthusiasm, we are sorry to see Ueli return to his native Switzerland where they have decent slopes. 164 R. DENNY SCHMIDT Delta Kappa Epsilon Weems, Virginia Although a native New Yorker, Denny is, and always has been a spiritual scion of the Old Saouth. Firmly believing that he was born one hundred years too late, he remained totally apathetic to everything except the humanities, the virtues of the gentlemanly life, a bourbon appropriately named Virginia Gentleman, and, of course, the Richmond Vees. Following Mac's trail, he hit the Tau fwith a dull splatj, lit up the first of an endless stream of Camels, and commenced a filibuster designed to con the Faculty into thinking he was intelligent. Chit-Chat was impressed, and Nellie was an inch taller, so he became a mental, if not physical, giant. He even apologized to John Crossett. Occasionally he did run amuck C'There's nothing in my bag, officer, except half a bottle of bourbon. I never went near her.

Came senior year, and Denny picked himself off the DKE floor and disappeared in thehdirection of New London and his True Love, never to be seen again. We all breathed a sigh of relief. But somewhere, in the gloom of night, a little troll wanders through the countryside muttering, There's no place in the world for honor. Fe, Fi, Ho, Hum. 165 ARTHUR L.

After being well indoctrinated in the rigors of monastic life by attending Mary- land's famed McDonough Military School, Guy arrived at Hamilton only to find four more years of secluded celibacy awaiting him. Undaunted by the bleak prospects of five months of snow and few trips to Wellesley C200 miles awayj, he steeled his nerves for concentrated work and sedulously Cno pun intendedb attended to his studies. Aside from being President of his fraternity, Guy became famous for his excellent Biology notes which have never been equaled for lucidity, organization, and thoroughness. Although his scientihc endeavors have sometimes humbled Guy- imagine a once proud man out hunting butterflies with the Ecology Class-he has passed through his four years at Hamilton relatively unscathed. One aspect of Guy's education which he will never forget involves his travel to Baltimore and back with various wild characters. Such trips have included crashings, bumings, hootings, discussions with the long arm of the law, and a massive downsy or two. Guy's other travels have included middle of the week excursions to Vassar and various other Austin-Healey-type meanderings. Guy's earlier military training is again pull- ing him toward a life in uniform, and we wish him the best of luck with whatever branch of the service he chooses. RONALD G.

You've gotta roll with the Punch, said one of his brothers at the TKE house. And that was just what Ron did the last semester of his senior year. He had come a long way from his freshman year with Ivy-Joe and that tempting glimpse of reality, Alpha Delt. But three years of constant vigilance and training Cjust fifteen minutes a dayj had made a new man out of this once one hundred and twenty pound weakling and as smooth a guy as a wooden house would permit. Of course, the finishing cosmopolitan polish came from numerous choir trips. fSweet Briar-si vous plait . It wasn't all verizas et lux though. There was a less serious side to Ron's life too. An interest in architecture led him to wile away his leisure hours designing ancillary domiciles. Ron applied for membership in the TV Club, but was rejected when his glasses fogged up while he watched the Mickey Mouse Club. Swallowing his pride, Ron founded his own faction, the U.T. Club, based on his yet unqualified knowledge of comparative climatic contillionology. After that, all was smooth sailing. Nobody's quite sureg perhaps it was those southern belles or maybe the northern ones, but in any event, Ron gave out a rebel yell and, still buckling his scabbard, lit out for Duke, leaving Minnie and the Fink in the land of ice and snow behind him.

He knew there were critics in the audience tonight, from Downbeat, Metronome, all the important sheets of the trade. He had to play something they'd listen to-something they'd sit up and notice. The driving za-pockem-pocketa-pocketa of the drummer's top ride cymbal spurred the pianist on to take another chorus. That's a helluva beat he's laying down, thought Bill. I-le's really reacting. This rhythm ought to spur me on too. Then it was time. Bill stepped to the mike, hefting his polished Selmer tenor sax. In that segment of eternity, during the piano's last four bars, Bill thought of all the great tenor men who had blown on this podium-Hawkins, Coltrane, Getz, Graubitsch. He knew he could say something new-something these men had never conceived of. He hunched his shoulders, closed his eyes, and put the reed to his lips.

I live with an extraordinary creature classilied by the ornithologist as the Steel- stomached Bush Mugger. It nests primarily in Porsches and liquor closets, or where- ever the temperature is ripe. The mugger is curiously asymmetrical. One wing is cross-hatched in a sinuey, raquet-like fashion, and the other forms an acute cutting edge, undoubtedly used for dissecting prey. Its bill is so constructed as to retain a permament grin which discloses an intricate mechanism for straining foreign eggs, and for determining the degree of water pollution in a single intake. The Steel- stomached Bush Mugger feeds only from moldy laboratory flasks, and adheres to a strict diet of peanut butter and beer. The only time the mugger emerges from its natural environment is at three A.M., at which time the pangs of thirst are so violent as to require immediate attention. To the uninformed birder, I recommend his keeping a safe distance, for the mugger displays an intense extinction phobia, and is determined in perpetuating the species. It has related to me that it plans to adapt to a Philadelphia environment next year. For those with binoculars and an interest, the mugger will be winging itself about the corridors of Jefferson Medical College, pausing perhaps for a moment to take a drink of water, or to contemplate Eakins' portrait of Gross. For years to come, its familiar chortle will haunt Joe Tofolo and Ma G. Morra. 167 HARVEY R. SINGER Alpha Delta Phi JAMES STUART SMITH Psi Upsilon Watertown, N. Y.

The college education has been subjected to the rapid pace of life in the civilized world, and Hal's stay at Hamilton has been no exception. The three words which have become his motto are: Speed, diversity, and worry. Five days a week he was called upon to demonstrate speed for Gene Long, six days of the week to exhibit diversity of intellect in the claggqom, and seven days of every week to worry about passing comprehensives. There were diverse, but fleeting, adventures at Russell Sage, Cortland, Caz, and, well, too many others to mention here. There was diversity in roommates: Phi Beta Kappa to Underachiever, two categories which Hal chose to avoid. Then there was the meteoric rise to captaincy of the track team, where diversity in the direction of the hurdles forced a speedy recovery from the cast. Finally, there was the Era of the Black Mercedes, followed by a longer and better- remembered Era of the Thumb. Having run one thousand miles igive or take a pace intervall through the woods and various breeds of dogs, over hills, and around the track for the past four years, Hal has decided to let the Navy provide speed and diversity of amusement, and do the worrying for him, during the next four years. began the study of Kant. of pleasure.

When the 230 lbs. of dynamite CD commonly known as Jay Welsh arrived at Hamilton in September of 1958, some of the wind was spilled from his very large sails when he was mistaken for the janitor of. South Dorm by some unsuspecting parents. The attainment of this dubious distinction provided added incentive for the Panda, so he immediately joined the DEKE House, where he was of great assist- ance in the growing up process of his brothers. Whether awake or asleep, Jay's presence was known, and the very thought that Jaylwas around-added to everyone's security. Early in his career at Hamilton, the balding burler displayed great talent for magic-he could do virtually anything with a Quata, but he was best at making it disappear, along with various and sundry other items, such as toothpaste, razor blades, soap, etc. No one could really begrudge it all to Jay, who made up for. it all by doing his best to defeat Frank Sachs for the DEKE House tag championship.

WILLIAMS Gryphon STEPHEN ADAMS WILKINSON Gryphon Cedar Rapids, Iowa Called Wilkie by his dearest friends, and Steviel' by a well-meaning acquaint- ance, Stephen Adams Wilkinson began his college career by joining the new Gryphon Society. During his freshman year, his family secretly moved from Chicago to Cedar Rapids, a circumstance which caused him great pain. He drowned his sorrows in several gimlets, for which he had developed a fondness, and under the influence of which he started the movement for new livingroom furniture. Having recovered from being hoist in his own petard, he went on to perfect the dry gimlet and the five-to- one 'tini, which won him a place in the hearts of many, and the social chairmanship in his junior year. He spent his sophomore year recovering from a date he was alleged to have had as a freshman. A gentleman, he was always at home in any company: Maine farmers, A.D.'s, opera stars, German professors, and the Evans boys all succumbed to his charm. Ready to deal with any situation, he once fearlessly alienated a real leopard from a houseparty. Wi1kinson's senior year was marked by coifee at Cedar Lodge, fear at Sloan House, brioche at the Plaza, and downstairs at the upstairs. He disclaims all responsi- bility for the Voods pregnancy scare, although he retired forthwith to his Maine retreat where he could not be reached. Wilkinson's career is obviously epic in scope: next year he returns to Chicago where he will study at the University. We will miss him. WILLIAM P.

The coaches soon asked him to drop out, however, for his training practices set too high a goal for his teammates.

The return of the wizened and worldly philosopher to the Hill was as unheralded as his leave-taking, but back at Hamilton Henry posed a problem. He slept too much. He learned to play the guitar. He read Winnie-the-Pooh and J. D. Salinger and talked of things Continental. People began to worry about Henry. He saw what was happening and became a cheerleader to nip his unwholesome tendencies in the bud. But to no avail-the littlest-most fella, in the end, succumbed to maturity. He has lost a bit of his bothersome humility, but none of his perception or pungencyg he can still fell any and all Goliaths, not by hitting on the head, but by under- mining foundations. The latter has more lasting effects. With a somewhat unbalanced mixture of emotions, Henry leaves Kirkland's Folly for medical school to study the intricacies of the little toe, and to electrify new audiences with his doleful renditions of Gunga Din. 'E'll be squattin' on the coals? Givin' drink to poor damned souls. An' I'll get a swig in hell from Gunga Din! As will all of us from Yaigs.

My thanks go especially to Alex Vaughn and Frank O'Connell who gave freely of their time even though they were not on the stall. Without their efforts, this book could not have been published.

For yearbook work comprises a multitude of details: Layout, Art, Photography, Copy, Typography, Covers and Binding Knot to mention the small detail of money-raisingl.
