As a teacher Mr. Robey has fetv equals. Not only is he a master of his subject, but he also has the invaluable ability to understand his students ' problems and to communicate his knowleldge. In addi- tion, he shows a special consideration for the difficulties and progress of each and every one of his students. His assignments are, to say the least, challenging btit always fair. He knows just what his students are or are not capable of doing. Because of his concern for us, the tall erect figure with the grey -white hair and crystal-clear speaking voice commands our utm ost respect. He is the link between the old Hawken and the new Hawken. Just how important he was to the old Hawken can be seen by the number of alumni who seek him- out first upon visiting their alma mater. Mr. Robey represents the Hatuken that they knew as did Mr. Charles Stephens and the late Mr. Mortimer Smeed. With the new buildings, new programs, new environment, and new faculty we may forget sometim es just how much of a cornerstone Mr. Robey is. But we do not forget for long because in directing all chapel procedures and our commencement he is inseparably tied with what little tra- dition remains at our school. Perhaps for the seniors the one bright aspect in leaving Hawken is the assurance that in the future when we return to our old haunts, we will find the same Hawken spirit — the hunger for knowledge and the ideal of the rugged gentleman — in- stilled by 07ir Latin teacher, Mr. Robey.

Carney became Headmaster. In 1929 a Board of Trustees was set up, and from 1929 until 1964 Mr. R. Livingston Ireland served as President of the Board. The first task of the Trustees was to guide Hawken through the depression. One measure taken was the dropping of the high school which had been added during the 1920 ' s. Mr. Carl N. Holmes became Headmaster in 1932, and as the nation climbed out of the depression, Hawken began to admit more and more students. By 1947 the school was overcrowded, and a new building program was adopted including a Primary building and a Lower School building. Mr. Holmes died in 1955, and when Mr. Richard W. Day came to replace him, the building program was broadened extensively. It now included the entire high school at Circle W and large additions to the Primary and Lower School buildings. Mr. Day ' s programs also included new educational methods in such subjeas as mathematics and spelling. Today, most of these programs have been completed, but growth and development continue under the guidance of our new headmaster, Mr. Edward R. Kast, and our new President of the Board of Trustees, Mr. Charles Bolton. 1915-1965... FIFTY YEARS OF GROWTH Hawken had its humble beginnings in a five-room house on Ansel Road facing Wade Park. There were nineteen students that year, in 1915, and three teachers. Mr. James A. Hawken was responsible for the endeavor. He had come to Cleveland as a tutor for several socially prominent families, but in 1915 he decided to start his own private school. He felt that the early years of education were the most important and that more attention should be given to the individual student. Thus, his plan was to have eight students in a grade and to expand to ten grades. When this expansion had taken place, Hawken had to look for a new building. By this time the school had inspired confidence, enthusiam, and community support, and in 1921 Mr. and Mrs. Charles C. Bolton gave the school a campus in Lyndhurst. The move was made in April, 1922. Mr. Day 20 Mr. Edward R. Kast came to Hawken this year from Short Hills Country Day School where he had been headmaster since 1949. At Short Hills he was re- sponsible for a development program similar to Hawken ' s. A graduate of Dart- mouth, he earned his Master ' s Degree in School Administration at New York Uni- versity. Mr. Kast exemplifies Hawken ' s ideal well-rounded smdent. Much to the approval of the students, his interests are not purely intellectual. He was captain of Dartmouth ' s football team, and at Short Hills he coached football, basketball, and baseball. Although the work involved in his present position does not allow him to coach, he and Mrs. Kast are faithful supporters of all Hawken teams. Mr. Kast enjoys photography and is faculty advisor to the newly formed Photography Society. He appreciates the arts, and it was he who initiated the Fine Arts Festival this spring. In only one year Mr. Kast has gained the respect and admiration of everyone who has met him. A better headmaster could not have been found. 21 22 The man with the index cards and the deadly left-handed hook shot is Mr. Peter Relic, Headmaster of the Upper School, teacher of the Senior Honors European History Seminar and Freshman English, founder and faculty advisor of the Phalanx, and varsity football and baseball coach. Mr. Relic graduated in 1958 from Bowdoin where he developed the orator- ical skills which make him unquestionably the most influential personality on campus. His most note- worthy forensic achievements include the celebrated circle session after a varsity football loss to Mau- mee, the great med room lecture of ' 62 following a freshman basketball loss to U. S., and the notorious clothes dumping clammers of ' 61, ' 62, and ' 64. Mr. Relic is an amiable conversationalist both in an ad- visory capacity and an informal relationship. He pursues a variety of interests with such intensity that students often wonder how he has time to sleep. He devotes an astonishing amount of attention and thought to each student at Hawken, maintains ex- cellent physical condition (winner of the coaches ' half mile), reads profusely (particularly current af- fairs), and is constantly involved in various com- munity and social projects. A pioneer in education and community service, he initiated the Karamu tutorial program and the high-school exchange pro- gram in Cleveland. In 28 years Mr. Relic has received his Master ' s Degree, become head of the world ' s leading high school, and traveled to all parts of the globe. The only thing he hasn ' t done is get married. 23 Mr. Baker, tucked comfortably away in a plush niche annexed to the athletic building, seems to be constantly on the phone talking to who knows whom. Q)Ilege Guidance Q unselor at Hawken, he also teaches American History. Before coming to Hawken, he was graduated from Ob erlin, received his M.A. in history from W.R.U., taught history and did college counseling at Mt. Hermon, and was head- master at Gushing Academy for two years. Since he guides the college choice of each senior, Mr. Baker may often appear an awesome figure to the students, but informally he maintains an amiable character and constant good humor. If the friendly hello comes from a man with a thin smile, a relaxed shuffle, and a meditative aura, then the greeting is from Mr. James Bresnicky, the unofficial head of Hawken ' s contemplation depart- ment and professor of degrees from Stonehill, Du- quesne, and John GarroU. Mr. Bresnicky is a Latin teacher, but as his students know Latin is only an- other means by which he conveys his philosophies of life and the greatest thinking of man to his stu- dents. Due to vicious restrictions imposed by the administration, Mr. Bresnicky has found it necessary to curb his intake of nicotine. Not one to be foiled, he; a piece of chalk now replaces the weed of sin, which may account for his having by far the whitest teeth in school. Besides a sure-fingered ability with chalk, Brez is one of the wickedest men with a basketball ever to have faced the Radio Wonders. Shuffle. 24 What are you doing painting that grass green!? Thus spoke Coach Coffey, Hawken ' s combined ans- wer to Red Auerbach and Marc ChagalL Former notorious coach of the J.V. hoopsters, his team scored twelve points one game and came within two of upsetting Gilmour the next. But it is as an art teacher that Coach really shines. To the unenlightened the artroom is a jungle of pasted straws, paints on canvas, cave-manish hammerings, and groans of dis- satisfaction. To the enlightened it is a garden of inspired youth. A native Clevelander, Coach is a graduate of Heights High and the Cleveland Institute of Art. He received his B.F.A. from the University of Denver (I960) and his Master ' s in art from W.R.U. Camping, coaching, and occasionally art, are among his main interests. It is often said that good things come in small packages, and this adage certainly holds true in the ' case of Mr. Richard Davies of the Math Depanment. Graduated from M.I.T. in 1958 with a Bachelor of Science degree, Mr. Davies resumes the student ' s life in the summers when he studies for his Master ' s degree at Ohio State.Formerly a member of the faculty at Worcester Academy, he now teaches a wide range of subjects at Hawken, extending from 7th grade arithmetic to 12th grade calculus. During the winter he coaches freshman wrestling, and in the spring he helps out with track. This year he and Mr. Kenepp have been arranging a computer course which they hope to add to the Math curriculum. An O.K. guy, he frequently uses the expression in his explanations of problems in class. At last count, he held the school record with 108 O.K. ' s in 45 minutes. 25 Mrs. Dunlop, the head librarian of the Upper School, was among the first of the faculty who came to the unfinished Hawken campus in 1959. Like many of the other facilities, the library was tempor- arily set up in two small rooms in the White House. In four years, however, she has developed a fully equipped and efficient library which is now the first place Mr. Relic shows to school visitors. A moderate disciplinarian, she maintains a quiet library, and stu- dents find it the only satisfactory place in the school to study. Her willingness to help, whether it means giving her annual orientations on the use of the library, helping a student on a research paper on Byzantine Art, or attempting to keep track of the one starter which is needed to light all the fluore- scent bulbs in the carrells, has certainly made her an invaluable asset to the school. Rumor has it that bachelorhood has proved to be an effective decay preventative when used in a relaxing program of classroom instruction and reg- ular regressional care. Back at Short Hills Mr. James Farwell wasn ' t much of an athlete, but he had 43% fewer dropouts with Kiisl. Now safely installed in our French Department, Mr. FarweU, a graduate of Yale in 1950, spends most of his waking hours relaxing in one of his classes, usually giving a test. Interested in metaphysics and the basic problems of existence, Fars often leaves the realm of the French language and converses in Latin. Once the academic require- ments of the class have been fulfilled, the relaxed, efficient teacher image gives way to the devil-may- care Big Brother image, and a French short story releases all of the answers to all of the profound questions that have long plagued mankind. 26 Lee Henry, the Head of the French Department, was graduated from Amherst in 1935 and received his M.A. from Middlebury in 1948. Besides teaching French, Mr. Henry is the faculty advisor for the fresh- men and one of Hawken ' s most vifidely traveled faculty members. In addition to having traveled throughout Europe and the United States, Mr. Henry has studied overseas at the University of Dijon and the University of Montpellier. He also had a wide range of teaching experience in the U.S. before join- ing the Hawken faculty in 1956. Recently his col- leagues honored him when they chose him Hawken ' s Jennings Scholar for 1964-65. Mr. Ismail, Hawken ' s import from Istanbul, Turkey, teaches 9th and 12th grade French. Good-natured, tolerant, and sympathetic to the senior work-load, he rarely gives an unreasonable assignment. His ironic amusement at wiseguys and big chizzes and his animated characterizations in illustrating philoso- phic arguments lend a whimsical atmosphere to his classes. He has assigned such memorable nicknames as Bzzzt and Nick the Greek to his more illustrious senior students. He likes sports, Proust, 17th Cenmry French philosophers, and his students. He is not so fond of La Chanson de Roland and Bull GDnnor. Mr. Ismail received his M.A. in French at W.R.U. He taught at John Carroll and night school at Qeve- land College before coming to Hawken in 1963. 27 With his cocked gold-rimmed glasses and that powerful Morris Minor ( Four on the floor and bucket seats! What more could you want? an en- gine? ), Sam Jackson grows more distraught with each added year of advising our yearbook. An English teacher, graduate of Yale and Cambridge Univer- sities, a few years back he unsuccessfully attempted to vary the Hawken teacher ' s image with an Abe Lincoln beard. He greatly enjoys sports and is known for his basketball antics, his unusual sportswriting for the Geauga Times Leader, and his gridiron suc- cess both as a victorious frosh coach and an evasive pass catcher in the faculty-smdent touch football games. Often the wielder of a biting wit, he some- times is speechless, such as when he got his teacher ' s retirement form notifying him that he could look forward to doing so in 2001 A.D. Right: Miss Christine Kast wearing a sweater by Villager. Miss Kast was graduated from Manhattan- ville College in 1964 with a B.A. in English Liter- ature. She came to Hawken in January of 1965 as an apprentice teacher and taught Mr. Thomson ' s jun- ior and senior English classes. It is rumored that her lectures on the Romantic Period instilled new vigor into the old juniors. It is also rumored that former Trustees ' President, Mr. R. L. Ireland, was concerned by the Upper School ' s failure to take full advantage of Miss Kast ' s presence. In the fumre Miss Kast plans to travel abroad and to study for an ' M.A. in English Literature. 28 Quiet yet decisive, Paul Kenepp, one of this year ' s new faculty faces at the Upper School, came to Haw- ken as a result of meeting and talking with fellow students Steinen and Davies during Ohio State ' s sum- mer math courses. Previously Mr. Kenepp taught at the College Area Schools in State College, Pa., and before that he was graduated from Shippensburg State College, also in Pennsylvania. Penn State rewarded some of his post-graduate labors with a Master ' s degree. An excellent addition to our highly touted but never tested faculty basketball team, he exercises his abilities primarily through coaching the freshmen in both basketball and football. Between games and practices he teaches a few algebra and trigonometry classes. Tom Lightbody joined the Hawken faculty this year as a full-time member after a year of trial-by smoke as an apprentice teacher. A 1963 Harvard graduate, he conducts courses in geometry, algebra, and English, and annually collects the studentry ' s award for the hottest faculty car with the coolest muffler. In addition to coaching freshman swim- ming and football, he advises Calliope and the creative writing group. Mr. Lightbody spends his spare time at school and devotes his extra-mural hours to the real work of his life: helping ladies, sometimes old but usually young, across the street and dreaming about a practical way to run a Parisian sidewalk cafe in Cleveland ' s winter climate. 29 Always present in the Chem-Phyzz lab, whether it be peering through goggles or twiddling spheres to build molecular models, is Mr. Raymond Malburg. As part of his work at Carnegie Tech, he studied gases and has since found this training an invaluable aid in understanding Hawken students. Sometimes ready with a quiet smile and an amused chuckle, he even managed a grin when Marty Weinstein burst into the lab brandishing a cap pistol, loaded! Mr. Malburg has worked in the evaluation of the Chemical Bond approach to Chemistry, a new course which was first used at Hawken several years ago while it was still in the experimental stage. Among his hob- bies are photography, philately, and numismatics. He was faculty advisor this year for the A.F.S. program. In his first year of teaching at Hawken, Mr. John R. Mulroy has been a total failure. An admitted Communist, he felt it his duty as a faithful party member to liquidate the extreme rightist element infecting the Midwest. For that reason, he left his former headquaners at Worcester Academy in a plot to convert Phil Landy. Landy, however, res- ponded negatively to Mr. Mulroy ' s machinations. The administration consoled Mr. Mulroy with the title of Head of the Histroy Department. In addition to his devotion to the Communist Dialectic, Mr. Mulroy entertains other interests. He studied at three colleges, reads prolifically, knows his current events (he scored 100 on the Time test), and amazes his Asian History class by quoting twenty-five texts during a lecture. He is an expert on students and their three B ' s and has a habit or reminding them of what their text looks like. A one-time football coach, navyman, and advertising agent, he hopes to teach his Asian course at a public school next year. 30 Driving up the entrance to the Upper School in his black Monza Spyder is Mr. Curtis Petersen of the Music Department (in fact, he is the Music Depart- ment at the Upper School). Mr. Petersen received his Bachelor of Fine Arts in Music Education at Ohio University in 1961. Currently he is working during the summers on his Master ' s degree at Indiana University. He teaches everything musical from band and glee club to music history and theory. His main objective this year, besides selling more cokes at the basketball games, is to modernize the present music program. For a start he has introduced Folk Music into the repertoire of the Chorus, and Jazz and Broad- way show tunes to the band ' s program. Hand-rolling cigarettes is an art that went out with chaps and red-eye, but there still seem to be some pockets of resistance to modern customs. One such, proud area is the smoke-enshrouded, neatly-cluttered desk of English Professor John Pickering. He arrives every morning, straight out of the thirties with his herringbone greatcoat and suede, snapbrim cap, worn at rakish angle. When an anxious student enters Mr. Pickering ' s haunt for a chat, he will prob- ably find him lounging in his executive throne, in simpler phrase his swivel chair, meditating on the meaning of his existence, the next civil rights novel he can assign his charges, or the accursed fact that Hawken never closes for snow. A constant nemesis to the unexcellent, grade-hungry student, Pick has been Head of the English Department for three years, scourging lazy students with biting cynicism and aid- ing those who try with his intellectual depth and clarity. 31 Rodger EJckard, a 1955 graduate of Springfield College and holder of an M.A. from W.R.U., was a quiet man until the Indians shipped Colavito to Detroit. Then R.S.R. directed his wrath toward Hawken students. For the past four years he has been solely athletic after giving up his limited teach- ing duties because the students knew more than 1 did and my repertoire of believable tales was ex- hausted after the third short Friday. Coach of soccer, basketball, and track in the afternoons, he is sometimes hard to find in the mornings. The best way to do it, though, is to check all the buM sessions or ask a ninth grader waiting outside Mr. Relic ' s office. Mr. Rickard probably sent him there. Before coming to Hawken, Mr. Roberts was a mild- mannered research worker in Utah. In preparation for the controlled freedom campus, he became a little less mild and moved to Qeveland ' s Museum of Natu- ral Histroy. Finally ready for a full fling at fun and games, he swooped onto the Hawken scene disguised as a biologist, geologist, Forestry Club and sophomore advisor. Mr. Roberts, invariably the receiver of the loudest cheers during post-chapel announcements, was graduated from Harvard in ' 50. Subsequently Boston U. presented him with a Master ' s degree in Biology. 32 Mr. Chilton Thomson came to Hawken two years ago from University School complete with Bass Wee- juns, Buick Electra, and that fantastic file of facts, all of which have become his trademarks. Soft-spoken, articulate, and marvellously knowledgeable about everything, Mr. Thomson may be heard to extol the virtues of Tom Jones, the Palladian struaure, and Freedom, New Hampshire. A graduate of Yale, he also received his M.A. there in 1948. Qiairman of the English Speaking Union iti Cleveland, he speaks English fluently and teaches it to 11th and 12th graders. Mr. T is responsibile for the reformation of the Players ' Society, and under his guidance the Thespians have presented success after success. Among his other contiributions to the school is the palm tree which briefly inhabited the front hall this winter. With the flow of talent from Shaker Heights High Mi. Robert Wheeler came out to the country in 1961 to assume a post in the History Department. His famous Wheeler grin is known to aU Hawken students, enlivening not only his classes in Greek History and American History but also the staff of the Affirma- tive No, Hawken ' s newly enlarged news- paper, which he ably supervises. Active in sports, he coaches the frosh soccer and baseball teams. In 1956 he graduated from Yale and in 1961 also got his M.A.T. there. The four years in between he spent in the Navy. Rumored to be the only guy in the phone book with a footnote, he always has something interesting to add to vacations, like 4000 word term papers. 33 You guys, how can you call that gut test a Jap? One of the most approachable teachers in the school, approachable for math help, social advice, a good bull- session, or a baby-sitter (he knows some good ones), he is glad to help out by taking the youngsters to math class. If he can ' t be located in his smoke- filled office, he can probably be found standing with his head against the wall at a wrestling meet. Quite an athlete in his day, Mr. Young, the soccer and wrestling coach, comes out of active retirement each spring to pitch batting practice and run in the coaches ' mile on Field Day. An expert skier, he has recently taken up golf. Mr. Young graduated from Dartmouth in 1958 and began t eaching the next year at Cranbrook School in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan. He came to Hawken in 1961. He is Assistant Head of the Upper School and advises the Student Council and A.F.S. Next year will find him at Wesleyan studying under a National Science Academic Year Institute Grant. 34 The man at the right with the silly look on his face is Mr. Robert Timoteo. Besides being a member of the athletic department, he is presently attending classes at Cuyahoga Community College, and he hopes to major in Physical Education. Coach Bob ' s fine attribute is his great sense of humor. He can dish out a joke as well as he can take one — although he would rather dish one out. Mr. Timoteo ' s first joke was heard by the football squad in late August: Now listen up you guys: when you block this man from the side like that, you should be able to drive him all the way to the church over there. What church. Coach. ' asked a sophomore. The one right over there, shouted Coach Bob, vaguely indicating the building beside the football field. That ' s no church, that ' s the chicken coop! replied an all-knowing senior. Mr. Timoteo is a member of every clique in school and has been invited to numerous social gatherings. No one will ever forget Timot ' s surprise birthday party and his numerous gifts. One can only wonder what he has done with his monogrammed toilet seat and what really was in the bag given to him by Mr. Young. At the begin- ning of the year Mr. Timoteo squeezed neatly into school life, but now his school activities have been greatly cur- tailed since Messrs. Young and Rickard have swept him from these hallowed halls onto the golf course. Yes, honey, he ' s here today. Just go to class as usual. When Mrs. Ruth MacMaster is not teUing students which teachers are sick, she is typing, filing, or answering phone calls, which generally means ex- plaining: You have reached the Upper School. You want the Lyndhurst Campus. The number is . . . A well-qualified secretary, she has studied at Miami University, W.R.U., and Spencerian Business College. In fact, her talents have been recognized outside of school as she has the honor of being listed in Who ' s Who In American Women. Her forever friendly, gay attitude is well reflected in her favorite, Oh, you boys! The cheerful addition to the office this year is Mrs. Lucille MacArthur. As well as her secretarial duties Mrs. MacArthur also meets the demands made on a Lyndhurst housewife with a husband and two teenage children. She enjoys spons, especially golf and bowling, but says that her aaivities are usually limited to those of spectator. She views her job at Hawken as demanding but rewarding. She deserves a reward for maintaining such a pleasant disposition through the trying demands of a perfectionist boss and two hundred pestering students. 35 MAINTENANCE STAFF Don, John, Elmo, Ray Don Zieske heads the Circle W maintainance department. On winter mornings he plows the park- ing lot and diiveways while students are still asleep. Don is not just an employee of the school; he is also a friend to all students. His faithful attendance at athletic events is a valuable inspiration. Ray Ibsch is one of Hawken ' s unsung heroes. With- out him how would the lawns and athletic fields be mowed? . . . lined? How would the students on his bus come to school . . . safely? How would the driveways be protected by snow fences? Who would replace the dead light bulbs in the library? How could students walk back from lunch unmolested? In general, how could Hawken exist? Elmo Brooks, word has it, was once pitted against Mr. Relic in a sandlot baseball game. Our sources, however, could not find out who won. Elmo does odd jobs around the campus such as knocking icicles off the roof with a baseball bat. He is a graduate of Hawken ' s exchange coordinate school, East Tech, where he was a member of a state championship basketball team. John Lewis picks up where the Hawken work details leave off. He can always improve on their work. When the snow covers the walks in winter, he cleans it off. He shovels snow so well that a Cadil- lac could almost drive where he has shoveled. He feels a deep sense of obligation to the school; as he says, It is imperative that I perform my duties metic- ulously. 36 iU.U.U ' i!Ji ' i Mil ' lit ' lU ' iUliu I ' lU ' ' r.i... Elton H.

BISKIND Entered January, 1964 Soccer 4 Affirmative No 3,4 Karamu 4 Phalanx 4 Players ' Society 3,4 COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY For a part-time student (about three days a week) who came to Hawken from a second-rate school, Dapper Dan has done mighty well. With five full courses, three of which are honors, he has the toughest schedule in the senior class. He is a prominent member of the Players ' Society; among his mumb- ling, muttering peers, Dan ' s New England articulateness is notable. Dan has established at Hawken the trend of frequent, inexplicable absences. Each time he is missed, conjecture rearises to the cause of his absence: hangover, doubtful; illness, unlikely; homework, not a chance. This third conclusion is easily supported by Bisquick ' s notoriety for his tardiness in handing in assignments, especially in English and History. But whenever the final, unbreakable deadline is set, Dan manages to get the work in and to escape from the incident with his average unscratched. We had often wondeied why a morally cleanait boy like Dan persisted in wearing his hair so long (his Beatlecut preceded the Beatles) until he informed us that he feels vulnerable and insecure after a haircut. Dan ' s words are indicative of one of his interests: he is a self-styled and perceptive Freudian psychologist. If he develops the initiative he displayed in usurping for his pleasure an isolated circular driveway near his home, he has to succeed. 48 STEPHEN R.

Perpetually trying to conceal his own promiscuity by condemning it in others, he may be heard to say This book is smut — there was some kissing in it. Steve has a flare for the dramatic. His best known roles, aside from the indignant paragon at innocence, are the self-styled intellectual, the idealistic Lieutenant Raleigh in the Thespians ' production of Journey ' s End, and perhaps the greatest type-cast ever conceived, the hoodlum gunner in Whistling in the Dark. Steve ' s know- ledge of geography astounds all. He is the only member of the Honors Euiopean History Seminar who con- sistently passes PDR ' s surprise geography quizzes. This interest is not strictly academic, for Steve may be found in the halls recruiting smdents to join him on a proj- ected field trip through the U.S.A. during vacation. r lvST TTvebbe 49 J.

Day Most Valuable Soccer Player Award 4 Honors 1,2,3,4 HARVARD UNIVERSITY In an exclusive Onyx interview with Affirmative No Editor, His Majesty Kenyon Chapman, Yonni explained dejectedly that he had been accepted at only four colleges — Trinity, Dartmouth, Yale, and Harvard. After long deliber- ation, he finally condescended to grace Harvard with his presence. This gloomy piece of information is offset, though, by the fact that his Highness has had an extremely successful career at Hawken. Though often attending all night parties, sometimes referred to as newspaper meetings, Yonni ' s duties range from soccer captain to Student Council Secretary. A dedicated newspaper man, he spent the summer of 1963 at a Journalism Clinic at Michigan State University. With this experience and everlasting determination, Yonni has pub- lished the Affirmative No virtually unaided for three years. A dedicated soccer captain, he led the team to an extremely successful year. For his efforts in soccer, he was awarded the Richard W. Day soccer trophy and received the respect and admiration of his teammates. Next year, if the newspaper comes out a month late, if the Plain Dealer Newspaper Awards are not given, and if the Smdent Council minutes fall behind, we ' ll all remember that Yonni is gone . . . 50 JAMES W. CONNOR Entered 1959 FootbaU 3,4 Wrestling 1,2,3; Co-captain 4 Baseball 3,4 Chess Club 1,2,3,4 Glee Club 2 Players ' Society 4 KENYON COLLEGE Jim is one of Hawken ' s more modest seniors, and as a result, his achievements often go unheralded. By virtue of several crash diets and mounds of Jello co-captain Connor has racked up a wrestling record second only to last year ' s captain. Rich Hudgin. His amazing ability extends to the athletic fields where, in spite of his avidity for late hour bowling, Jim has been a valuable member of Hawken ' s football and baseball teams. Aside from these noble occupations J.C has also distinguished himself in cultural fields at Hawken. Art lovers will remember him for his dismal city scapes, with their overtones of pessimism and despair. Those who have a love for the dramatic will remember his portrayal of the cowardly Brice in the neophyte ' s production of Submerged, presented during the Fine Arts Festival. Although he may not have wanted it so, Jim ' s modesty led to investigations which uncovered some surprising facts. When friends asked him the whereabouts of a medal he won at last year ' s W.R.A. Quad- rangular, he remained typically noncommittal. It was later discovered to be in the clutches of a lovely redhead named Cindy. Above all else, it is Jim ' s likeable smile and his well- greased thatch that have gained him much of his popularity here at Hawken. 51 DOUGLAS M.

Studious when necessary, Doug is definitely one of the more fun-loving Phalanx mem- bers, but, ironically, a firm foreman of Monday night Karamu sessions. Noted for his four-day school weeks and his strange variety of radiator coolants, Messy startled many by topping all in his junior class on the Time Current Affairs Test. Remembered for his enthusi- astic interest in swimming, track, and Metropolitan Park landscaping, Doug has often brightened otherwise boring classes with stories of his summer adventures in Africa. He is one of the almost constantly present members of the senior room whose sword fighting, dart throwing, and pool playing have highlighted many an afternoon. Doug ' s wide and diversified selection of female com- panions has interested many, and his parties have served for the enjoyment of even more. 52 ROBERT H. DULAURENCE Entered 1961 Football 3,4 Swimming Manager 4 Skiing 2 Affirmative No 3, 4 Ches Club 2 Glee Club 1,2,3 Onyx 4 Photographers 4 Photography Society 4 GEORGE WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY Boobie may best be described as Hawken ' s man of emotions. His most prominent characteristics are his long hair, large smile, boisterous voice, and physical demonstrations of his inward feelings. His weird con- tortions have added to both the amusement and despair of his companions; those of the senior room and the members of Bob ' s car pool. Bob, who drives a Jaguar when tired of his maroon Cutlass, will long be remem- bered for his weekend problems and his parry perfor- mances. A connoisseur of the finer things of life, and a participant in the Hawken-Shaker High Better Rela- tions Movement, Bob is fondly referred to by some as Officer DuLaurence. Bob has an affinity on the side for managing athletic teams and helping Ham develop pictures, and has become quite a pool enthusiast and, accordingly, one of the more frequent visitors tf the Senior Room. One of the famous Middlebury or Bust trio, Etob may daily be seen studying away, unless a friend happens to pass by. Bouncing, twisting Boobie will take a certainly original and refreshing personality with him to college. 53 Four years ago Pels had the longest bunt in the history of the school against U.S. We mention it because he will not let us forget it. As far as football goes, Mart has been known both as the bread and margarine halfback and the high point scorer for the last three years. Self-styled actor (Big Joe Salvatore with flowing sideburns), Marty was one of the founding members of the Players ' Society, and this year is its ' ' President. Famous as Sportsman and Teen of the Week he appears frequently on the sports pages but has rarely shown on the social scene. His big 409 still reputed to be the fastest car in the lot, was a great hit when first seen last year. If not in the shop, (you remember Marty ' s famous words I didn ' t know she was stopped ) his car may be seen parked in close proximity to another somewhat slower Chevy. An extremely hard working student, Marty ' s constant drive, as illustrated by his classic comment, I was going to run away but I had too much homework , has paid off in his early acceptance at Brown. On weekends he may be found either in a study session or participating in an athletic event. But on school days, if not heard lamenting the fact that he has not smdied for any of his tests, he may be seen acing them. MARTIN W.

For four years Golden Boy has been high scoring lift wing on Pumpsie ' s stellar front line. In all athletics he has picked up a reputation for going to the outside; however, off the playing field he is usually found on the inside. While a star soccer player, Marc was also the notorious leader of those who endeavored to do as few calisthenics as possible; we are sure that the Files Pushup will go down in Hawken history. He may frequently be heard spouting off about the dubious merits of his family ' s speeding fleet of Buicks. Although his fleet may not be hemi- charged. Marc, himself, manages to maintain a fast pace in his extra-curricular activities. Famous for the many new leaves he has turned over, we are curious as to what he finds underneath. It has become increasingly difficult to ascertain whether or not Little Neighbor ' s permanent resi- dence is on Tudor or Guilford, although at one point it was rumored to be on Rocklyn. As the third member of the Middlebury or Bust trio, Marc studies diligently, though it may be noted he considers Peyton Place a prerequisite to education. W I CLIFFORD K.

Chip was one of the most rugged football players on the varsity squad -his specialty, defensive tackle. Even though a first-string varsity swimmer, in his freshman year, he changed to wrestling and surpiised everyone including himself by pinning down a 6-5-1 record and the 165-pound class individual championship at the Reserve Quadrangular. Chip has been at Hawken since first grade ( Heaven forbid! ) , and those few old-timers left remember the wild pool parties he used to throw in his back yard. He prides himself on having been a member of the Dance Committee ever since its inception, in having single- handedly secured all the ads for the newspaper, and in attending church every week when the majority of his class- mates are still in bed. Though his friends are many. Chip tends to do things by himself (well, not completely by him- self — right Margie? ) . Perhaps the students can forgive Vin and C. J. for having gone to U.S. since Hawken had only nine grades in those days, but they can never forgive Chip for continually wearing a U.S. jacket. He(vv tno€i 3hts CHARLES A. FITZ-GERALD Entered 1953 Soccer 1,2,3,4 Skiing 4 Baseball 1,2,3; Captain 4 Affirmative No 4 American Field Service Committee 4 Book Store Committee Varsity Flamers 4 Karamu 3,4 Library Committee Chairman 2,3,4 Onyx 4 Honors 3 DARTMOUTH COLLEGE Charley ' s most outstanding characteristic is his complete dedication to whatever cause he becomes attached to. He does his schoolwork diligently both at ho me and during his free time at school, with the result that his name has often appeared on the Honor Roll. Fitz has always exemplified the Hawken athletic ideals of spirited hard work d incessant hustle. For four years he has been a lineman on the powerful soccer team, and he was captain of the 1965 baseball team. His coach called him the best fielding catcher in Cleveland. Charley ' s athletic exuberance has resulted in many injuries throughout the years, including three broken bones, numerous sprains, pulls, and tears, and a baseball in the Adam ' s apple. Shortly after becoming affiliated with the Hawken-Karamu tutoring program, Fitz became the project ' s stu- dent co-chairman and is believed to have initiated the practice of bringing intelligent dates to the mtoring sessions. Charley ' s list of credits includes the seemingly soft position of Library Committee Chair- man, but his devotion to his job, especially in maintaining silence, has made the task both valuable and time-consuming. His responsibilities extend even to the area of foreign relations, for he was Mohammed Hassouna ' s host during 1964-65. Possibly the most gratifying of Charley ' s attributes cannot be conveyed by a list of facts and records: he is almost surely the best-liked senior. Simply by being a nice guy, he has earned at least the casual friendship of every senior. Among his impressive achievements in twelve years at Hawken, Fitz ' s greatest accomplishment is his popularity. 57 A fleeting glimpse of him would lead the casual observer to dismiss Big Den as nothing but a lazy slob. During the day he never studies, perferring instead to shoot the breeze with his various friends or to play basketball. And there is some question as to how he spends his nights. His notes in American History would be an insult to an artistic orangu- tan; his attendance (hah) at calculus is minimal, to say the least. At lunch, his manners approach the indistinguishable. He ' s perpetually unorganized and an incurable procrastinator, always the wielder of the last pen to cause spurious activity before an assignment falls due. However, the more persistent and courageous observer who is willing to sauggle through the apparent shallowness of Dennis ' s behavior is struck at once by the profundity and scope of his brilliant mind. On the SAT ' s he easily managed better scores than anyone else in the class; despite his blatant distaste for work, his name is always emblazoned on the Honor Roll; his was the singular distinction of being the first member of the class to be ac- cepted at college. Though too willful and capricious to subject himself and his great athletic skill to the discipline of teams each season, he is a staunch and invaluable member of the swimming team, the holder of sundry school records who in spite of it all remains unimpressed with himself. With such innate intelligence and physical prowess, main- taining a realistic point of view towards the world that gently flutters about him and an easy way of accepting his foibles, many great things are due from Dennis, as- suming that he can find some cause that sufficiently taxes his enormous ability so that he is motivated to develop a certain amount of self-discipline. Even the rigorous demands of the work at Hawken haven ' t been able to do that. DENNIS G.

They ' re really great, and they owe it all to me. Take it away, boys, one, two, three . . . Another Gamundi money- making enterprise is on its way. Renaldo admittedly occupies 97.3% of his waking hours concerning himself with such extravaganzas, but he manages to do a great deal in the remaining 2.7% devoted to dear old Hawken. Rey is a hardworking member of both the Dance Com- mittee and Players ' Society as well as president of the ever-popular Chess Club. At one point he played a rugged game of football but was sidelined this year by his father, much to Rey ' s ostentatious disappointment. He has also been known to show up occasionally at wrestling and tennis practices. Renaldo is distinguished by his classy dress and sexy white levis, as well as by his ever-present participation in Hawken ' s not-so-phili- sophical bull sessions. Among his many claims to fame are the acquisition of Chuck Herndon ' s once-infamous car with the benevolent contributions of Steve Epstein, Joel Skidmore, and Charlie Hickox, and several well- remem.bered encounters with Messrs. Malburg and Kenepp. We certainly wish Rey the best of luck in his proposal to dedicate the rest of his life to social work in the field of hotel management. 59 GARY E.

He has close friends among the intelligentsia, with whom he often discusses such timely issues as the true nature of the human condition and the isolation and alienation of man from society! He is a prolific poet and especially admires the work of Lawrence Ferlinghetti. As an aspir- ing musician and rhythm guitarist of The Upstarts, B. G. also spends a good deal of time in the music room with the frequenters of that tuneful spot. And as a gargantuan but baby-faced regular guy, he is accepted by all the students as one of the boys. At Beachwood athletic contests he is frequently confronted with the dilemma of whether to sit on the Hawken or Beachwood side. Gary ' s hopes to attend Brown University were thwarted when, having made a mistake while filling out his application, he tore it up and threw it away in a fit of anger. 60 MICHAEL T.

Skillfully playing, at last count, such diverse instruments as the violin, the viola, and the bassoon, he is one of the best and most devoted music lovers at Hawken. Frequently he is in some quiet nook in the library avidly perusing one of the school ' s long and dusty music books, much to the amazement and dismay of his peers. When he ' s not in a class, in the library, or in the music room, Terry can be seen absently wandering around, his hair piled di- sheveledly on top of his head,clutching a briefcase and sundry notebooks with some instrument or other slung over his shoulder like a cross between a camping pack and a bazooka. Completely and, alas, irrevocably unorganized and absent- minded, Terry somehow manages to get everything done re- markably well, though seldom on time. Driving that efficient vocal Volkswagen that so well complements his personality, he regularly makes the dismally long trek from the dank and murky forests of Bratenah], tmdging into school late about 98% of the time in his unmistakable Hallarian fashion. With his remarkable fluency and dark thick-lipped countenance, it has often been said that the photogenic Hallaran would make an excellent Frenchman. And in fact, Terry has tried the French on for size, spending the summer of his junior year in their happy land, much to his enjoyment and undoubtedly theirs. Mercilessly underestimating himself and his capabilities, one of these days Terry ' U have to accept the fact that he has an incredible amount to offer. With all the brainpower and potential he shows, surely he can ' t avoid it. 61 MOHAMED A. H. HASSOUNA Entered 1964 Track 4 American Field Service Committee Karamu 4 Players ' Society 4 Old Mo came to Hawken as an American Field Service Student from Egypt. He is descended from a long line of successful men. His grandfather owned and operated twenty-eight flourishing companies. His father, besides owning three houses in three major cities, it is rumored, owns a large part of Egypt, itself. In spite of his connections we cannot corner him for a statement on Nassar. Hassouna dominance is also prevalent in the U.S.A. Mo has as much family here as in Egypt, and his cousin ' s husband was recently appointed to the United Nations. Mohamed has long been a bodybuilder. When he returns to ■ Egypt he will remember his American visit, if not for the fine times he enjoyed, for the twenty pounds he added to his six foot frame. Mo is quiet and timid, but he pos- sesses a deep insight into human feelings. Moham speaks fluent French and has given assistance to many students at Karamu. Besides Karamu he tutors two children independently on the weekends. Although he may try to forget his experiences with football, physics, and chemistry, Mohamed will gladly take back to Egypt memories of his first date and the Beatles and learning how to do the frug. To all who have been close to him. Old Mo will be remembered more as a fellow Hawken bud than as an A.F.S. ' er. 62 CHARLES M.

Without a doubt the most outstanding member of the class that has been called the greatest amalga- mation of brilliance ever compounded anywhere. But surely this is obvious from the impressive list of the many honors bestowed on him elsewhere on this page. But Charlie ' s real value and essence cannot be so coldly measured. Only through a real understanding of him does his true brilliance stand out. It ' s hard to accurately portray Charlie in all his uniqueness because he ' s so inconsistent that he defies any set categori- zation. Sometimes nobody works harder and is more responsible. Others, he ' s the epitome of laziness, irresponsibility, and cynicism, bothered by a guilt complex at not fulfilling all his obligations. In his junior year he was first in the class. But with his many new responsibilities, his attention has been diverted from academics, though he remains on the Honor Roll. Where he truly stands above everyone is in the depth, clarity, and originality of his mind. The profoundest thinker in the class, Charlie is perhaps the only voluntary smdent of philosophy in the whole school; his conversance with such impressive figures as Kant and Schopenhauer and Socrates is fabled. With his remarkable ability to reason, he ' s consistently able to fake a firm knowledge even when he has none. Every- thing Charlie produces has his own stamp, a clever manifes- tation of his insightful mind and incredibly lively imagination. For a person like Charlie, with such potential but with such grave doubts as to the sense of the whole big rat-race, there are but two alternatives for the fumre: either total rejection at 25 or brilliant success before 40. 63 CLAY H. HOLLISTER IV Entered 1961 Football Varsity Manager 3,4 Track 2 ROLLINS COLLEGE Certainly the most enigmatic of all Seniors, Clay confounds everyone. Toward school, reward his teachers and colleagues, and toward everyone except his close friends, he holds an attitude of amused condescension that is at once mildly scornful and gently sympathetic. Openly professing his lack of interest in the mundane necessities of school life, Clay doesn ' t see enough im- portance in its demands to merit the debauching of his beliefs and work, but in spite of this, he never seems to have any trouble getting reasonably good grades, a feat that reflects the intelligence of his subtle and perceptive mind. When he speaks, it ' s generally with a tone that is ironic and mildly sarcastic. His interests are many, with an incredible scope, restricted by little bias or snobbery. He ' s rea.sonably competent on the guitar; there ' s always a car he ' s working on; frequently he can be seen putting into words his philo- sophic views or creating a complex coding system; he plays an imporrant and indispensible role as the astute and competent manager of the football team. He will be remembered for his Chapel speeches — in one he managed to produce a half dozen concealed weapons, and in another he tried to convince us how much guts it takes to drive a Saab. A fertile imagination, a wide range of interesr, a grear capacity for under- standing — such are Clay ' s blessings. And as soon as his activity is no longer hampered by the restrictive demands of school, he ' ll devote his entire being towards some end he thinks is worthy. And there can be no doubt that he ' ll reach it. 64 KENNETH P.

Hawken has failed Kip; it has supplied him with only two of the three basic challenges around which he centers his life. First, Kip admits that Hawken has taxed him academically. He has met this challenge with enough determination to win scholastic honors. As king of the regular classes, he has found his success secret to be organi- zation. Long before other students have begun their assignments, the Kipper has completed his. Secondly, Hawken has provided him with an opportunity to participate actively in sports. Hawken ' s encourage- ment and Kip ' s perseverance have changed him from a pudgy kid into a bod. Kip is a vital member of the baseball and football team. How- ever, his usefulness does not step fiom his native ability; if it did, Kip would not be a first-stringer. It is Kip ' s determination, school spirit, and knowledge of sports which make him a credit to the varsity. Unquestionably, he is Cleveland ' s best basketball manager. Every year he tears himself away from the scoring table just long enough to sink a couple of points amidst joyous cheers of Give the ball to Kipley! Sadly enough, however, Hawken has not provided Kip with the third and, perhaps, most important challenge — girls. So Kip has been forced to leave his secluded life at Hawken. Off he has diiven in his Banana Boat, seeking the intetesting sex in unusual places like Karamu and northern Michigan. Using his drive and perseverance, he has become the biggest dater of the non-party boys. Kip will succeed at college if only he can continue to meet his third challenge; at Bowdoin this is doubtful. 65 Hawken ' s man about town, suave, debonair Tom has gained a reputation for being somewhat of a Lothario, (per- haps as a result of his own logorrhea). Although it is a well known faa that dating is one of Tom ' s specialties, his activi- ties remain largely shrouded in a cloak of rumor and dis- sention, through which few, if any, are able to penetrate. Tom is known for his bright bouncy comments which have occasionally marked the break-up of a serious history class — hence the nickname Jeeps. We understand, however, that Tom has an acute knowledge of Asian History — panicularly pertaining to Mongolia — wherever the heck that is! Tom ' s troubles started in French class, where a two year blood- feud with Mr. Gerson did little to improve his savoir faire. Tom has decided to give up French in favor of more promising languages; rumor has it that he recently bought a book entitled You Too Can Speak Fluent Manchu. THOMAS S.

He may be heard to say, I ' m afraid I ' m forced to disagree with that for the following reasons. First . . . His articulate rhetorical devices seem to have impressed enough people to get him elected Vice President of the Student Council. Unlike most opinionated people, Charley has the unusual quality that his opinions are supported by fact. The most politically aware student in the school, he scored a 97 on the Time Current Affairs Test. Charley also excels in athletics. In the fall he is a speedy halfback on the football team, and in the spring he is one of the track team ' s top dash men and an integral part of the world famous 880 relay team. Charley has gained notor- iety as the sadistic Dr. Blow, head of the diabolical C.C.C, and as co-chairman of the Hawken branch of the Medgar Evers Rifle Club. JOHN A. KOEHLER Entered 1959 Football 1,2 Soccer 3 Wrestling Co-Captain 1; 2,3,4 Chess Club 2,3,4 Forestry Committee 3,4 WOOSTER COLLEGE Senior member of the Koehler wolf pack (in more ways than one, we understand) J. K. is a wrestler who will be hard to replace next year. He was unable to finish this season due to an injured finger, which, how- ever, failed to blunt his good natured attacks that leave innocent bystanders all too aware of his presence. John recently voiced his highly conservative opinions in chapel, in a style which sounded like a compromise between The Conscience of a Conservative and the Book of Isaiah . His enthusiasm extends into American History class, where his jibes and counterblows have be- come part of many a class discussion. John used to be the hottest chess player in Mr. Young ' s 6th period math class, until the latter struck a blow against indolence by confiscating his pocket chess board. One of Hawken ' s many groaners, he maintains constant competition with Bill Ruple — to see who can grumble the loudest over JBY ' s gut tests. John was admitted early to Wooster College, where he will doubtlessly create as much ruckus as he has at Hawken. off 68 RICHARD A.

Despite his formidable sincerity he still remains a complex enigma to the class do-it-yourself psychologists. One of the elite senior intel- lects who has pursued the art of introspection to excru- ciating extremes, his sensitivities find creative outlet through writing.

A great humani- tarian, Sherman wants to be a veterinaria n if he grows up. He already has the pants. 69 By golly goom, it ' s Goon! George helped to in- spire a winning soccer team from his fullback position with his famous slip-and-kick tactics and his crow-like entreaties for victory. When not on the soccer field he spends his time in his own secluded corner of the art room trying to keep up with Picasso. If not found with Coach Coffey creating abstract art in assembly line style or jvith Nurse Liz quaffing Hawaiian Punch cock- tails, Goon may be seen pedaling his white Sprite (at least that was the original color) down the school driveway. Occasionally, his pedaling is somewhat of a disaster — the incident that comes to mind occurred last year when on returning from the Reserve Quadrangular, George played footsie with some cop after managing to sashay into the rear end of some lady ' s car; George reminisces: the roads were quite slippery that day. As far as serious extra-curricular activities go. Goon is both the master of the bookstore and a first bass on Congo ' s Caterwauling Congolese Canaries. George looks forward to successful college years studying design after his preparatory years at Hawken. GEORGE H.

Bucky, the nickname Mr. Relic gave him years ago for his two rather prominent front teeth, is also quite active in the dating circuit. In fact, he has a different girl each weekend, and we ' re wondering if his variety of com- panionship has proved profitable. His rather unruly temper has mellowed somewhat with age, and only occasionally does his fork sail across the lunch table in disgust. He usually looks as if he is about to bite some- one ' s head off, but as his friends have discovered, his bark is worse than his bite. 3% 71 NICHOL B. MERKEL Entered 1953 Skiing 2,3 Wrestling 1 Track 1,2,3,4 Forestry Committee 2, President 3,4 Glee Club 1,2 NASSON COLLEGE President Merkel has virtually become the brains behind that small obscure group of nature lovers called The Hawken Forestry Committee. By virtue of his own personality and sessions of under-the-table bargaining, Nick has acaimulated, with little expense, a varied collection of flora for the Hawken campus. Nick ' s interests extend far beyond this noble pursuit, however. He possesses a phenomenal knowledge of explosives and artillery which would do credit to Dillinger himself. Nick, ' however, plans to use this great gift for the furtherment of the oppressed; he has foretold the doom of the Berlin Wall, the Kremlin, the Brandenburg Gate, the Gates Mills Police station, and various other symbols of oppression and tyranny. Judging from the time he has spent in organization, we hope the communists have been warned about him. Nick can usually be seen in the halls during his free periods, expounding his ideas to a small but dedicated group of disciples, or staring vacantly at the bulletin board with his hands in his f ockets. Nick ' s modest and unimposing character is bound to win him friends; after all, who could ever suspect that, behind his innocent face, lies a crafty and deadly mind, dedicate ' d to the downfall of society. 72 SANDRA MERKEL First Noticed 1962 Baby Sitting 0,1,2,3,4 Bicycle Racing 2,3,4 Hawken ' s Best Friend 3 Karamu 3,4 Part Time H.B. Student 0,1,2,3,4 Skiing 1,2,3,4 Soccer Uniform for Springer ' s Party 4 Sandy is a loyal athletic supporter who rarely participates in varsity sports due to a certain modesty over changing in the locker room. She does excel in skiing, however, but has never made the trip to Ellicottville without crossing the turnpike ' s median. Art, academics, and cooking are a few of her bizarre tastes. Her friends will agree that there is an air of unexpectedness about her. She has fed classmates stuffed grape leaves with curried chicken, has ridden her one-gear- high-gear bicycle ten miles to Chagrin Falls in the rain, and acting as an assistant advisor, has rried to create a philosophical seminar. Just for the records, Sandy is the only senior who has dated a classmate. This mysterious student is rarely seen during the week days but has often been observed wandering around the campus late at night. (Rumor has it that she is usually alone). Renowned as the Young ' s babysitter, she has lived at the Upper School for various periods throughout her school years. As a matter of fact, she is the only one of Mr. Young ' s protegees who has had a key to every door on campus. Sandy is an extremist who has given more to Hawken than she will ever take away. 73 WILLIAM E. MERKEL, JR. Entered I960 Football 1,2,3 American Field Service Q)mmittee 1,2,3; Chairman 4 Karamu 4 Onyx 1,2; Assistant Editor 3,4 Student Council 3 BABSON COLLEGE Who is that blue-eyed blond (only his barber knows for sure) walking down the hall, tonoise shell rimmed glasses on and attache in hand? Why it ' s Toby Merkel, who else? Finishing second to Miss Kast as Hawken ' s best looking student he easily snatched the Best Dressed Award for 1960-1965. By standing in front of his house with a dejected look on his face, tie has managed never to walk to school though he only lives across from it. (He has calculated the length of the school drive to be .42 miles long). A shoulder dislocation has prevented him from participating in as many sports as he might like, but also has conveniently kept him out of training. However, one sport he has been able to pursue is skiing, and he easily ranks as one of the best schussboomers on campus. As chairman of the AFS Committee he is re- sponsible for much of the fair ' s success. Toby ' s friends are many, enemies few and never permanent. A more amiable senior is hard to find. 74 WILLIAM H.

One of Hawken ' s more noticeable characters, BiU is fondly thought of by students as the -jovial, vociferous Actor . Perhaps all this stems from Bill ' s active participation in the Players ' Society, but we are inclined to think this acting is an innate part of Bill ' s nature as we call to mind his greetings and unique antics in the halls, library, senior room, or wherever his wandering takes him. Bill will always be remembered for his coinage a few years back of the phrase Oy Vey and his talent for sporadically participating in athletic events and yet managing to be honored one week by the Sportsmanship Award. And we mustn ' t forget his envied habit of avoiding English assignments, his affiliation with St. Paul ' s Youth Group and the Skating Club, and his yearly date with T.O. With such an easy going and unique personality he cannot fail to live happily ever after. :: 0 75 ..J , ROBERT E.

Bawb has become the most mature member of the class, the only one of the senior intellects who has accepted Disillusion- ment gracefully. His devotion to hobbies such as telescope building, his involvement in extracurricular activities, and his concern and interest in other people have been an effective curb on excessive introspection. Consequently, he has been a solid force and stabilizing influence in a class generally wrought with adolescent anxieties. This is not to say his is a pacific mind free of inner strife. His favorite slogan, I ' m tired of being tired, reflects the problems of a conscientious student who has accepted perhaps too many responsibilities in his senior year. He meets the challenge with poise and determination. 76 DAVID L. RAISH Entered 1953 Soccer 1,2,3,4 Basketball 1,2,3,4 Track 1,4 Affirmative No 4 Band 1,2,3,4 Glee Club 1,2,3,4 Phalanx 1,2,3,4 String Quartet 1,2,3,4 National Merit Semifinalist Highest Honors 1,2,4 High Honors 3 YALE UNIVERSITY Tl No, he ' s not the jolly green giant, but he ' s the nearest thing Hawken has to offer. Standing 6 ' 5 , Big Dave, the Bossu, has maintained an excellent academic standing this year despite an irritating attack of elephan- titis during the soccer season, frequent verbal slashes about his outstanding choice of ties, and sarcastic refer- ences to his concealed hump. Nicknamed the Cow, Dave has made famous the Raish chew to all those at his lunch table, and no one will ever forget his timely nose-blowing interruptions during Luk ' s long lecmres. He has one bad habit, however — -he wastes time study- ing during his free periods when he could be doing something constructive. But occasionally he takes a break to whip off a number on the violin or piano or maybe a little in the band on his big bad baritone horn. Known as the Oh, cripe boy on the basketball court, Dave gets unduly upset with each oppoent ' s score and voices his discontent for the benefit of the fans. No one knows much about his social life — he lives out in the woods, in someplace called Timberlake (Where?). But regardless, one can ' t help admiring Dave — he ' s such a likeable guy for a brain. 77 Tom returned to Hawken after two years of exile at Phillips Exeter Academy, and for his junior and senior years has been an all-round athlete and an industrious worker. He is well known for hard runs in football, hard times in swimming, hard serves in tennis, and hard days ' nights in the date field. Tom, rarely behind the eight ball, is usually found behind the cue ball in the Senior Room. When he is not there, he may be seen preparing leisurely for French or fran- tically for Mr. Mulroy ' s Questa. Tom counts among his few dislikes fire chiefs, fickle women, and locked doors, and is prone to running out of gas at night, especially during summer vacation and on his way home from after-exam pool parties. Besides his ability on the tennis court, with a pool cue, and as a leader of the senior in group, he has an undisputable talent for finding good things and making close friends — a talent which will not cease with his graduation from Hawken.

P.S., R.R., and P.R. John ' s only weakness is illustrated by the preceding initials. His love life has been one of continual trial and error, and it seems doubtful at times that any girl will prove to be the solution. As a hurdler and broad jumper, John has ranked as one of the leading scorers on the track team for the past two seasons. During the fall he saw some action (from the bench) with the soccer squad and this winter was a member of the swimming team. John, an enthusi- astic schussboomer on the footloose and fancy free ski team of two years ago, can frequently be found on the slopes. During the school day he can be seen diligently working on his Spanish in the library or polishing up his pool game in the senior room. An aspiring bass guitarist, John found it prudent during the height of his musical career to hock his guitar in order to pursue a more delicate pastime. After leaving the strict military life of Valley Forge, John has come to enjoy our social advan- tages so much that he has even seen fit to throw an occasional get together. John, a man of means by no means, is sure to be a success on the road. F. WILLIAM RUPLE Entered 1953 Football 1,2,3,4 Basketball 1,2,3,4 BasebaU 1,2,3,4 Onyx 4 OHIO WESLEY AN UNIVERSITY For two seasons on the gridiron Rupe was only a near- sighted linebacker, but this year he donned a pair of contact lenses and became a high scoring Cleveland Plain Dealer Dream Team fullback. He ' s also capable of scoring from any distance on the basketball court, and his rising fastball pro- duces oohs and aahs from Hawken baseball fans and moans of grief from the opponents. When away from the athletic fields, Rupe laughs through life with his devil-may-care atti- tude. Once he was laughing his way down Old Mill Hill, but to his bewilderment he discovered that there was a curve in the road; his Mustang was absent from the school parking lot for two months. (This was no joking matter to Mr. Ruple, but Bill was not particularly fazed.) He ' s known as the terror of Club 221, for he knocked out three ruffians with one swing there. An Epicurean at heart, Rupe claims that the best things in life are eating and sleeping, and he practices what he preaches, for he ' s t he proud owner of the record of downing nine sundaes at Acacia, and he can often be found napping in the senior room if he did not get to sleep at his 9:30 bedtime on the previous night. We all know that Rupe will laugh his way through Ohio Wesleyan and then settle down to the difficult job of selling cars for his father. 80 JEFFREY J. SPRINGER Entered 1962 Football 2,3,4 Swimming 2; Co-Captain 3,4 Book Store Committee 4 Chess Club 2,3 Onyx Business Manager 4 CORNELL UNIVERSITY Jeff is conspicuous among the seniors mainly because of his boisterous, cheerful friendliness which has endeared him to the whole class. His big thrill this year was meeting Olympic champions Don Schollander and Donna DeVarona at a down- town luncheon ( snap snap ) . Ace reports that contrary to what he had imagined, both swimmers were real people, especially Donna. Jeff ' s open offer to swim Don was turned down; his open offer to Donna was also turned down (snap snap). His greatest letdown of the year also concerned swimming, and was occasioned by Mr. Carey ' s refusal to allow him to bring a date on the team bus to Massillon. Disappointment followed disappointment as the administration banned Jeff ' s popular pie-throw from the A.F.S. Fair and replaced it with a miniature golf course. When questioned about his early departures from school every Tuesday, Jeff said he was being tutored in Spanish (snap snap). The credibility of this statement is lessened by the fact that Hawken offers no Spanish course. Jeff ' s future is assured — he will marry someone named Mike Bates and reside in plush Plymouth Park Apartments on S.O.M. Center Road, just nonh of Mayfield (snap snap). 81 Who is in all the honors courses but hangs around with the common masses of the student body? Who is Hawken ' s star 110 (or is it 120 pound?) sub-quarter- back? Who has twice made the headlines and even has his own band of Marauders? Who wrestles in the winter for Hawken and always seems to win by forfeit or find his opponent has a 6-0 record? It could only be good ol ' B.S., the L.M.O.C. Brooke has the honor of having been Hawken ' s first exchange student in the AFS Summer Program, and his dissertations in chapel on his foreign adventures will long be remembered. A member of the Ellicotville wrestling team and noted for his wide variety of female companions, Brooke is always willing to join in a bull session and is forever sharing both the joys and sorrows of his friends. A more ideal and typical Hawken boy cannot be found. BROOKE C.

TOMB Entered 1963 Football 3,4 American Field Service Committee 4 Phalanx 4 Players ' Society 3,4 National Merit Letter of Commendation HAMILTON COLLEGE Don is a friendly guy in a quiet way. Being the owner of a blue Mustang, he is a full member of Hawk- en ' s ' Stang fleet and also a member of the selective H.B. group; his possession there is a red pinky, how- ever. He will long be remembered for his discotirses in P.D.R. ' s history class if not for his unique con- clusion that, the entire universe is permeated with a strong odor of mrpentine. Don has yet to hand in a term paper on the date it is due. He was the only member of a class of 40 who spring vacationed in Europe rather than in Florida or the Bahamas. An avid tennis player, he never bothered to try out for the tennis team. He is a member of the Players ' Society who is forever backstage, even on the memor- able night the phone knocked. Don spends his sum- mers either in New Hampshire at the cottage or as a counselor at a camp in Maine where he is known as the ' Tomb-bug. He knows every cop in Pepper Pike (We wonder how). A sensitive, insensible boy, Don will do well in fumre years at Hamilton.

Most easily identified by his short blond hair, Tinker has gained the friendship of many because of his ability to adapt to the situation at hand. Although Tink studies con- scientiously and has surprised himself and others by several Honor Roll appearances, he always manages to find time for a bull session or some Senior Room pool. His famous Pie- throw (Springer only thinks it ' s his) has earned a great deal for Hawken ' s AFS Program and brightened Hawken Carnivals. Tink ' s active participation has been felt in numerous school activities, but swimming is synonymous with Tinker. His reception of the Sportsmanship Award as co aptain of the swimming team was never more rightly deserved. Turning toward soccer in his freshman year after several years of football experience, Tink became a member of the varsity soccer squad and earned a reputation for his ability to play a variety of positions. Envied for his habit of breaking bones at just the right time. Tinker also nurmtes several interesting weekend habits which are climaxed every week by a church fellowship meeting under the guidance of Mr. Young. Noted for his probltms with leg lifts, his absence at dancing school, his long hours, his policeman friends, and his proficiency in the dating field, Tink ' s ninth grade adventures and October party will long be remembered. •.yCTk. 84 DAVID G.

Distinguished by a hillbilly dtawl, Dave is the only student Mr. Relic ever permitted to break his speech with ers, a ' s, and un ' s. Strictly an individual, Dave ' s weekend amusements and occupations are often obscure, but he always manages to make the big social events of the year, usually with some outstanding female. There are rumors, though, that he often retires to a secluded farm in Chardon where he enjoys solitude, meditation and leaf picking (. ' ' ). The biggest kid on the wrestling team in ninth grade. Herb was singled out as Mr. Young ' s demonstration guinea pig, a posi- tion of authority which Dave has retained to this day. Dave, too, was an active and influential member of the Hawken sector of the Ellicottville Wrestling Club. Dave ' s greatest aspiration in life has been to take a camping trip into the dense wilderness of Saskatchewan,, Canada, a trip for which he and an ex-University School buddy (May the gods forgive him! ) have been planning since the sixth grade. A hard worker, Herb commands respect in whatever enterprise he undertakes. 85 MARTIN B.

Marty knows all, does all. He is at least an honorary member of all school organi- zations and is the consulting expert on all school activities. Marty ' s life outside of school is mysterious, but it is estimated he makes an average of 30 phone calls a day in the process of keeping abreast of the latest local developments. He is noted for his trusty cap gun, his tentative sock-hops, his irrelevant state- ments, his tandem bicycle, his phone calls, his fairy tales, his association with Bill Gordon, and his vast library of Classic Comics and electronic parts cata- logues. He is also noted for his conspicuous absence from school affairs. He is the only senior who didn ' t make the pilgrimage to Hiram to see Death of a Salesman, although he did finally break down and come to a dance this winter. Marty is the Grover Whalen at Hawken. His smiling face looms in the halls, prepared to welcome anyone to the school with a witty remark and a Tootsie Pop. 1 86 L.

This year he tied for the lead in scoring on the soccer team. In the spring he runs the lOO and 220 and ran as a part of the world-famous 880 relay team. Rams is the class cynic, and there are few seniors who have not felt the blow of his biting sarcasm. He keeps denying that he is a grade-grubber, but because of his constant appearance on the Honor Roll, his 800 score on the Advanced Math College Board, and his early acceptance at Williams, his arguments in this regard are not too convincing. One of his salient traits is his habit of groan- ing whenever a faculty member gives an assignment. Rams has the misfortune of possessing an extremely overused Blue Cross card, but after his jaunts to the hospital he always manages to come back with a smile on his face. Despite his cynical tendencies, he is essentially optimistic and always willing to sympathize with friends and, during his years at Hawken, he has made many. 87 DAVID A. WHITE Entered I960 Football 1,2,3,4 Wrestling 1,4 Track 1,2,4 Affirmative No 2,3,4 Chess Club 1 Glee Club 2,4 Onyx 2,4 Honors 2 HAMILTON COLLEGE Bleachy (though it really isn ' t) has always been one of the toughest men pound for pound on the varsity football team. He is easily spiotted in his red and white spotted Sprite. He has been tempted to sell it since September, but now has developed a strange maternal affection for the little, deformed beastie and has resolved not to do so. Bleachie is more Holden Caul- field than Holden himself. With no qualms at all he will tell you exactly what he thinks of something. To this add the facts that he is perpetually in a rebellious frame of mind, is constantly looking for truths outside the classroom, and is frequently heard denouncing phoni- ness. Dave is a loner; a member of no particular aowd. Somehow he always manages to make the scene in a manner true to his individuality. Although in class he meekly apologizes for what he is about to say, his motto really should be, Don ' t tread on me. Who would? He might tread back, and with size twelve shoes that could be mighty painful. OU m l  7S Voufi DATE? 88 SENIOR POLL BEST TALKER Gamundi 21 White 6 Jordan 1 (?)

After this first-day orien- tation Special, chapel moved to a new time spot, between third period and Romper Room. The present spot has this advantage: before, chapel was so early in the morning that the students were still too groggy to sing the hymns. Of course now they ' re too wide awake to shut up dur- ing the prayer. Much was new at the beginning of this school year. There was a new headmaster whose pleasant personality, positive policies, and pul- chritudinous progeny have made him promptly and permanently popu- lar. There was a new foreign exchange student, Mohammed Abdul Hay Hassouna, this time from Cairo, Egypt. There was a new driver be- hind the wheel of Chuck Herndon ' s old green Fairlane. There was a new Freshman class, a new scapegoat for all the school ' s sociological ail- ments. The biggest surprise was yet to come. The administration in its omnipotence, omniscience, omnificence, unbounded benevolence, unparalleled grace, and eternal good judgment bestowed upon the Senior class a Senior Room in the basement of the White House. The Seniors promptly decorated the room in 20th Century Playmate. This decor did not quite agree with the tastes of the administration which tended to favor 19th Century Proper Prep- per. A compromise was eventually reached, and the room is currently decorated in American Provincial Parking Lot. Around the second week of school things started rolling (mostly freshman heads). Varsity Athletic teams scored shutouts in their first three outings in spite of several attempts at pep rallies. The Karamu study program grew from a shabby, ineffective seminar to an efficient, high-powered project enlisting nearly half the junior and senior clasrses. Suddenly progress came to a standstill. The Great Water Short- age of October 1st immobilized the school. The students faced the im- mediate threat of olfactory inconvenience, induced by the Shower Ban, with courage and poise, but when they were forced to wash down their lunch with (ugh!) milk, the school was almost declared a disaster area and martial law put into effect. The sturdy young athletes of Hawken School, however, heroically withstood this arduous organic abuse and went on to score victories the weekend of October 2nd. First the soccer team traveled to U.S. where they swam to an unprecedented 4-3 victory before a loyal, enthusiastic crowd of screaming, soaking football players. The next day the foot- ball team registered a 28-8 victory over Akron Atwater, and Hawken had its second Bow Tie Monday in as many weeks. October 30 saw Klauss ' s Folly, the social highlight of the season. Keynote speaker at this bonfire was Mr. Roberts, varsity cheerleading coach. The rally was followed by another double victory and the third Bow Tie Monday of the year. 102 In November 2nd ' s mock elections Lyndon Johnson won by a narrow electoral margin, although his opponent held a slight edge in the popular vote. His opponents ' supporters called foul play, and they were right. On November 5 th, 18 Hawken boys visited East Tech and Rhodes High Schools in the first installment of a student exchange program. While at Rhodes, Dennis Friedman and Charley Hoerr managed to keep turning up inside girls ' Home Economics classes. Their antics ended in near catastrophe when several of the girls tried to get Friedman to model dresses for them. A week later Rhodes and East Tech boys visited Hawken. On November 20th and 21st the Players ' Society made their sea- son debut with two delightful performances of Whistling in the Dark, in which Peter Welch emerged (much to his consequent regret) as a first-rate actress. December 5th was surprise day as Marty Weinstein brought a date to the White House Wing Ding. On December 13th the Music Department presented its Winter Concert in which all facets of the musical curriculum performed credit- ably. The Music program has shown remarkable development and im- provement the past two years under Mr. Petersen ' s direction. Exams. No comment. On December 18th, Bill Miltz ' s shoes, which had mysteriously dis- appeared earlier in the year, reappeared. They seemed to be somewhat embarrassed about their prolonged absence. After an unbelievably successful first trimester the school came back down to earth during the second trimester. Frequent lectures from Mr. Relic, Mr. Young, and Mr. Rickard expressed disapproval and criti- cism of Hawken students. Despite the apparent decay, the honor roll increased in number. It was during this trimester that Clint Miller and Company started the Freshman tutoring program. The Affirmative No, under the leader- ship of editor Yonni Chapman, continued to develop as one of the fin- est high-school newspapers in the area. The arrival of lovely Miss Christine Kast on the scene as a substi- tute English teacher for the ailing Mr. Thomson did much for school morale. Boys started combing their hair, brushing their teeth, and eat- ing with forks and knives. The general between-vacation doldrum that pervaded the campus was temporarily disrupted when someone drove a Cadillac up the front walk and parked it not 10 feet from the front door. But the effects of this momentary respite from the tedium were fleeting, and once again the students sank into an apathetic stupor. Emergency! Emergency! The Varsity Flamers were assembled to investigate the problem of school morale. Meanwhile on February 16th and 24th the Student Exchange Program was continued. Exchanges this time were negotiated with John Adams and West Tech. 103 Preparations began for the AFS Fair. The Student Council par- ticularly had to begin early in order to produce its movie. On February 13th Superslob was picked up at Shaker Square for littering. Later on, Charley Jordan was caught peddling pornography without a license. Yonni Chapman and Dick Lightbody were picked up as transvestites as the Hawken image took a severe tailspin. On February 14th Charley Jordan received a call from his neighbor informing him that a group of Hawken boys had caused a row at Shaker Square and got into trouble with the police and that she hoped that Charley wasn ' t involved. On February 20th the Kipper scored two for the Hawks as they downed hapless Ledgemont 52-25. On March 6th at 6:30 P.M. the Foreign Affair arrived, and much to the surprise of everyone the booths were all assembled by 5:30. This year ' s fair was the biggest financial success so far. The dance offered m any their first opportunity to hear the Upstarts, a sensational band featuring Gary Gunton and Mark Taylor. March 9th and 10th, students again started eating with knive s and forks as the school was being professionally evaluated. The highpoint of the athletic season was the final round of the volleyball tournament in which the Jocks beat the Studs 15-6 and 15-12. The lopsided margin confirms the suspicion held by many of the experts that The Hangnails should have been second ceded, and that Jose Rico, the matchmaker, who had a special interest in the Studs, placed them in a bracket of the tournament totally devoid of talent in order to en- sure an easy trip to the finals. The Student Council opened investiga- tions immediately after vacation. Spring came, and as news leaked out that the Onyx would be late, it was apparent that the students were overcome by lasting periods of depression. It was weeks before they finally recovered. The Fine Arts Festival in the middle of April was a great success. For three school days the students forgo t their work load and enjoyed the music shows, art exhibits, numerous talks, and drama productions with the hundreds of visitors who came to the Upper School. May 1st was not a surprise day as the Dance Committee held its Spring Dance once again at the White House. Then there was the Spring Sports Festival on May 8 th in which ten schools competed for trophies in baseball, track, and tennis. The track team put on a good performance and unexpectedly won Hawken its only trophy. Homework continued, but the seniors slacked off as more and more were admitted to college. Finally the long-awaited day came, and on June 12th Charley Hoerr, Don Martin, Dave Raish, Ramsay Weit, Yonni Chapman, and Charles Fitz -Gerald spoke at the graduation ceremonies. The senior class ended its formal association with Hawken at the Junior-Senior Prom and the five accompanying parties on bath Sat- urday and Sunday.

SECOND ROW: Hickox, Klein, Lightbody, Skidmore, Bruner, George. Ireland. ABSENT: Nash, Royan. With the graduation cf Mike ' s Legions last June, a new Student Council stepped up on the chopping block. Led by that infamous song and dance team of the Smiling Chucks (Hoerr and Jordan), this year ' s Council sported much new blood, only five of the 12 man Council having managed re-eleaion. As could be expected, the Council ' s attitudes and demeanor have changed with the addition of so much new talent, resulting in a lazy but functional organization. Though most of the meetings held sporadically throughout the year involved meeting out discipline to that bumper crop of unruly freshmen, a sizeable amount of constructive legislation took place in other areas of school life. After the usual enthusi- astic finagling for more privileges and a Coke machine, etc., these perennial campaign issues were tabled for another year because of a less enthusiastic if more practical policy held by the school ' s administration. One advent did come of the Council ' s quest for privileges, though, a senior room which was frequented, appro- priately enough, by the seniors, much to their enjoyment and status. Finding a diligent and responsible secretary in Yonnie Chapman, the Council ' s activities were forever documented into the school ' s archives in the minutes. All the school ' s many extra- curricular activity organizations were rechartered in the Council ' s laudable efforts to organize and regulate their functioning. A startled and dazed world witnessed several interesting and effective 112 innovations this year. Seeing action this year for the first time, the Varsity Flamers were designed to generate school spirit for various athletic teams, Hawken ' s answer to the Folies Bergeres and the Brownies. Several times during the year the Council proposed chartering a bus to take spectators to important road games, but conflicting functions and lack of smdent interest made this idea unworkable. Steps were taken to organize the long- anticipated Handbook, and the first printing is planned for next fall. In their staunch courageous way, the Council has undertaken the difficult task of coercing money from Hawken students to support a Korean boy for a year, initiating a custom that will continue for many years to come. And for the APS Foreign Affair, another amusing if artistically abominable movie was produced with the same smashing success. 1 i. ' Disciplining the initiates to the Upper School, bringing many in- teresting and practical innovations to the school, lazily exerting its stabilizing influence on the students and on the school — this year ' s Stu- dent Council certainly is worthy of praise. May next year ' s do so well. 113 KARAMU Karamu is a tutorial program in which a body of Hawken students spends each Monday evening helping a group of underprivileged stu- dents with their academic endeavors. The number of tutees is basically composed of Negroes who attend inner-city public schools, and who, due to a lack of opportunity, have been unable to obtain a complete under- standing of their studies. With the solidifying agents of interest, con- cern, and desire, the program has been a success for all concerned. Since its beginning two years ago, there has been a marked increase in attendance and attitude of the tutees. During its first year it was a rare evening when ten students came for help. This year ' s average attendance is 25. Students who a year ago never thought of going to college are now seriously considering it. FRONT ROW: Friedman, Mr. Relic, Sah- ley, Boyer. Strong.

Not to be misled, Hawken students have also received great benefits from their association with Karamu. They have learned more about people, the basis of public education, and the problems facing the Negro. AFFIRMATIVE NO This school year marked both a begin- ning and an end ip the four-year history of the Affirmatwe No. The graduation of editor Yonni Chapman, Don Martin, and Kip Horsburgh, the three remaining members of the original staff, signaled the end of the old Affirmatwe No era dating back to I960. Next year ' s staff will be comprised of students trained under the new system introduced by Mr. Wheeler in 1963 which included changes in organization, editorial policy, and for- mat. The year was also marked by the emer- gence of the Affirmative No as a first- rate newspaper in appearance and writing. With the invaluable assistance of Mr. Jim Rymond at the Independent Press in Cleveland, the paper finally received a professional printing job. The format of the paper was not its only new characteristic as several new features complemented such old standards as Martin ' s Missive. New types of articles were added.

Scoops and features on future events were stressed with increased frequency, and the headlines and make-up showed marked improvement. Improvement keynoted the staff ' s work as it took time to adjust to production of the new format. Each of six successive issues was published with increased or- ganization, but inefficiency, as always, remained a problem. Several members of the faculty aided the next staff by delivering a series of journ- alism lectures in late winter and spring. Mssrs. Pickering, Jackson, Thomson, and Wheeler spoke on several aspects of news- paper writing. 115 AMERICAN FIELD SERVICE The American Field Service Committee of Hawken is a community activity. Its main function is to make sure that our foreign exchange smdent has a successful school and social year. The success of the A.F.S. program is dependent upon the support and cooperation of the hosts: students, parents, and citizens of Qeve- land. A chairman from the senior class and two representatives from each of the four upper classes comprise the committee. FIRST ROW: Mr. Malburg, Boyer, Jordan, Strong, Merkel, Olds, Boyer, Mr. Young. SECOND ROW: Stoddard, Veale, Comstock, Chapman, Fitz- Gerald. This year ' s members are Toby Merkel, chairman, Yonni Chapman, Tinker Veale, David Strong, Jon Boyer, Marshall Olds, Clyde Comstock, Chris Boyer, and John Jordan. The faculty advisor is Mr. Malburg. Although there are only nine members of the A.F.S. Committee, each student takes part in staging the annual A.F.S. Fair. Start- ing in December, the Committee invites all school clubs and activities to submit ideas for booths in the fair. When, in January, these ideas have been handed in, the Committee goes over them and assigns additional booths to each class, under the supervision of the representatives for that grade. The student body is responsible for the set-up, running, and clean-up of the fair. This year ' s fair netted $2,250, $500 more than the previous year. These proceeds vi ill enable us to finance next year ' s exchange smdent, and to send a Hawken student on the A.F.S. summer or winter program.

But the show must go on, and so, aided by selfless Mr. Lightbody, the play met its November 20th date. Whistling was pure comedy in its funniest sense, but it was also dripping with sus- pense . It took the audience back to the underworld of the Roaring Twenties. Wallace Porter (Brooke Stoddard), an energetic young novelist, who fancied himself to be the ultimate expert on crime, was under the impression that he had found a house suit- able for rent when he discovered he had wandered into the lair of Jake Dillon (Steve Klein), a notorious gangster, and his mob. Dillon ' s gang kidnapped Porter and his fiancee, Toby Van Buren (beautifully por- trayed by Peter Welch), at gunpoint until Porter pro- duced a foolproof plot to knock off the head of the New York Crime Commission. After being bullied by Dillon ' s personal bodyguard, Joe Salvatore (Marty Feller), and bribing Slim Quick with the lead Scan- Ion (Marc Files), Porter produced a masterful murder plan by putting traceiess poison in the Qime Com- missioner ' s toothpaste. But alas, through the hero ' s ingenious Thinking the murder was prevented, the villian Dillon was p ut behind bars, and eventually everything ended happily. Other memorable perform- ances were turned in by Dan Biskind and Mark Taylor, playing Dillon ' s handymen, Gary Gunton, playing a tough cop, and Rey Gamundi, as a deaf and dumb maid. te The Players ' Society continued its record of presenting hilarious (?) comedy, when it brushed the dust off the 1930 class-room farce, Teacher ' s Pet. Performed during the AFS Carnival, this, The worst play ever written — Chilton Thomson, brought roars of laughter from two capacity audiences. Goodie Fairweather (Stoddard) was Teacher Law- rence ' s (Welch) pet. But the rest of the class finally revolted because of this, and justice prevailed when Goodie was sent home. Mr. Thomson brought down the house several times as he portrayed a hideous principaJ ' s assistant. Marc Files, Mark Taylor, Gary Gunton, Bill Millan, Marty Feller, and Steve Blount played members of the boisterous class. During the Spring term the Players ' Society bore down and produced several serious performances. Aided by the presence of Mr. Josh Logan, the greatest director-producer in the Amer- ican theater (South Pacific), the Players presented a Day of Dramatics during the Arts Festival. The high- lights were a scene from Macbeth, starring Steve Blount and Mark Taylor, and the famous Act IV, scene I from Othello, in which the evil lago (Steve Klein) first lies to Othello (Mart) ' Feller). 119 PHALANX Foreign affairs, community affairs, school affairs, religious affairs, and the fairer sex are all topics discussed by a group of predominantly Hawken stu- dents who have combined to form the political discussion club called the Phalanx. Food for thought is abundant at their monthly meetings. Meetings are held at a member ' s home which adds to the casual atmosphere of their dis- cussions. Occasionally, a guest speaker is invited and participates in a ques- tion and answer seminar. The Phalanx was organized in I960 by Mr. Relic. Since then, its select membership has increased from 15 to 27. EESMjr.m H ■ B B Bl g % . 1 ' A FRONT ROW: Mr. Relic, Hoerr, Landy. Newby, Boyer. MIDDLE ROW; Tomb, Blount, Biggar.

FORESTRY J 1 The Forestry Committee, orgarized in 1962, Ihas as its objective the even- tual landscaping of the Upper School campus through the planting of trees. The committee ' s faculty advisor is Mr. Roberts of the Biology Depart- ment, and Nick Merkel is president. So far, having organized a successful nursery behind the White House, and having planted several hopeful looking trees along the main drive, the com- mittee is now planning a general proj- ect — the planting of decorative trees and shrubs around the buildings thein- selves — to be executed in the near future.

Bolstered by twenty new freshmen, and aided by more rehearsal time, the Glee Club was able to master a more ambitious repertoire of numbers than it had in the past years. Directed by Mr. Petersen, the 40-voice chorus sang a variety of selections in its several performances, rang- ing from folk songs, such as Laredo, and humorous songs, such as Sophomore Philosophy, to show tunes from My Fair Lad and serious numbers, such as The Creation and Adoramus Te. Most of the selections were difficult three or four-part songs, but with a great deal of hard work and patience the inexperienced Glee Club was able to work them out. The two major performances of die Glee Club were the Winter and Spring Concerts, the first such concerts to be put on by the high school music department. In April the members of the Glee Club also had the op- portunity to sing in a 200-voice choir under Robert Shaw in Hawken ' s Fine Arts Festival. The other performances of the Glee Club included Commencement, two Fathers ' Club meetings, and one chapel service. 122 BAND FRONT ROW: O ' Sickey, Hawkey, Sato, Raish, Lamb, Hallaran, Mr. Peterson, Rankin.

Given several new instruments by the Kulas Foundation and aided by a dozen new freshmen, the Band grew and improved considerably in its second year. A string bass and two new trombones gave more emphasis to the bass notes, and a total of eight clarinets and six trumpets kept the melody lines loud and clear. A new recording bass, half again the size of a tuba, attracted a gteat deal of attention sitting in the corner of the music room. Under the direction of Mr. Petersen, the band staged a Winter Concert, the first of its kind at the high school, along with the other music groups on December 13. The band also had the opportunity to perform during the Fine Arts Festival. But the most enjoyable entertainment derived from the Hawken Band was the series of pep songs which resounded throughout the gym during home basketball games. STRING QUARTET FRONT ROW: Raish.

The dance was a great success, although the turnout was not quite as large as anticipated. The Chessmen, under the management of Hawken stu- dent Rey Gamundi, provided the musical entertain- ment. After Christmas vacation, the Dance Com- mittee proposed several ideas, designed to increase its dwindling treasury. However, due to problems beyond its control, and a lack of enthusiasm on the part cf the students, nothing materialized until May 1st. The first Spring dance proved to be more suc- cessful than the one in the Winter. The couples were given die privilege of using the lawns and 124 gardens around the White House at their own discretion. This seemed to be an added incentive to the stu- dent body, and the turnout was much improved. The Upstarts, head- ed by Gary Gunton and Mark Taylor from Hawken, provided the music, and they seem to be one of the more successful bands around The Prom will be coming up June 12th, the day of graduation. The school rented the Shaker House Motel, and hired the Motions for the evening. Offical Dance Committee obligations were over after the Prom, but the following parties given by many of the Committee mem- bers, proved to be just as much fun.

When Miss Chris Kast became a faculty member last January, a new interest was shown in photography by those otherwise dead camera fans of the school. One sunny activities period, noticing a large group of photographers around her she suggested that a camera club should be formed. Two weeks later, her idea materialized. The Student Council unanimously approved the Photography Society ' s charter. Its purpose is to pro- mote a better understanding of photography through contests, lectures, and displays. Without the Photography Society ' s members, and those boys pictured on the opposite page, this year ' s Onyx would be terribly dull. 126 FRONT ROW: Biggar. Roycr, Kennedy, Hughes. MiUan, Taft.

This was not an easy task, for a person is not identified simply by listing a series of unrelated, funny — but often crude — incidents in which he has been in- volved. Also, there is not a set pattern for writing a meaningful profile anymore than there is a specific type of individual at Hawken. Unfortunately, this was not apparent to us when we began to work on the Onyx. Optimistic and ignorant of the coming difficulties, the staff held its first meeting last September. Perhaps one of the few clear indications of the school spirit and unity among the students was demonstrated when over one fourth of the student body appeared anxious to join the staff. This was Hawken ' s second yearbook, and sup- posedly 1965 was the year for improvement after 1964 had laid the foundation. We decided to increase the 128 length of the Onyx by 85 pages, to include the Middle and Lower School, to lengthen the faculty articles and the senior profiles, to give more pages to athletics, and to initiate A Photographer ' s View of Hawken. We did not realize that most of these improvements were absolu- tely necessary if we wanted to convey the individual personalities and school spirit as we intended. These pages do not show the writing and continual rewriting that went into the articles. Perhaps the one thing about which the staff members can and should feel proud is that they stuck to the job. The schedule was not set up to allow enough time to revise the articles as often as was necessary. This oversight coupled with chronic procrastination made it evident around January that the book would be late. It is with full recognition of the difficulties that lie in describing a personality or a school ' s spirit that the staff, the editors, Mr. Jackson, and I return to you the final draft of the 1965 Onyx. It is our sincere hope that despite its limitations it will provide you with pleasure both now and in the future. Bob Nash t: — - V 129 CALLIOPE FRONT ROW: Lightbody, Mr. Pickering. SECOND ROW; Hoerr, Gunton. This year the school saw the publication of the third issue of the Calliope, Hawken ' s literary maga- zine, that has afforded the school and its students an appropriate outlet for their literary tendencies since its inception in 1963. Under the Editorship of Richard Lightbody, with assistance from Poetry Editor Gary Gunton and Prose Editor Charlie Hoerr, and with the excellent faculty advice and assistance from Mssrs. Pickering and Lightbody of the English Department, the Calliope has again been able to achieve the ideals set down by the first editors in ' 63 — that we have one policy; to maintain the self- respect of the school. We have one criterion: excel- lence. Painstakingly avoiding the pitfalls of the trite forms of true-human-conditions writing that so characterize the literary production of today, the Calliope has managed to present an outstanding col- lection of work, ranging from avante-garde poetry and paradoxically long short stories, to pungent humor. With a few notable exceptions that we won ' t note, the great majority of the Calliope ' s opi came from the Creative Writing Seminar, where a group of dedicated students directed by Mr. Lightbody and Mr. Pickering gather appropriately enough in the Seminar Room to criticize both their own writings and that of accepted masters. Though attendance at these discussions varies, the regular contributors deserve mention: Tim Cliff e, Cal Robinson (of Kal- vin ' s Klan fame), Jeff and Barry Maxwell, Alex Lubman, Don Levy, Phil the Fascist Landy, and Calliope Editor Richard Lightbody, who has the habit of preempting printable material with a sure and eager hand. A motley aew with members from each class in the Upper School, they do an outstanding job. Although not all their names appear in this year ' s Calliope, each helped enormously, if not in the actual writing, in constructively criticizing and helping others perfect their chez d ' oeuvres, as they say in French. The work issuing forth from the Creative Writing Seminar is the backbone of the Calliope, to use a trite expression. Without its stalwart mem- bers and their prolificacy, the magazine would find itself hard-pressed to gather enough material from the lazy anaesthetic students that predominate in the school. 130 ATHLETICS - iigihitm FOOTBALL ' ■r . .C,..o.,,o„«5 M. e FRONT ROW: Klein, Ruple, C.

An inspired defensive effort had stopped the Long- horns on the Hawks ' six. It appeared that Hawken had little left when the team suddenly caught fire. Seven plays and forty seconds later, John Tracy grabbed Don Martin ' s pass from his shoetops for the touchdown that made the season. The fact that Marty Feller fell inches short of the tying points seemed of secondary importance as the Hawks surprised one of the strong- est powers on its schedule. The loss to Lutheran West left Hawken, coached by Peter Relic and Bob Timoteo, with a 4-4 record, its first .500 season in football after three years of varsity competition. The team was 3-1 at home, but was plagued by a mid-season slump during which it lost three road games. 134 Hawken swept to its second straight victory in the young season with a 28-8 victory over Akron Atwater. A well- drilled defense repeatedly held the Spar- tans ' single-wing attack as the offense rolled up all its points before Atwater hit the scoring column. John Van Ord- strand, who earned a spot on the Plain Dealer ' s Dream Team with eight catches for 123 yards, and Charlie Jordan, who ground out 85 yards rushing, led the Hawks ' balanced attack, Hawken opened its schedule on a hot, muggy September day by thrashing Ledge- mont 40-0. Because of a bad showing in the last scrimmage and a week of practices in which nothing seemed to go right, the thought of being upset had lurked in the back of many minds. There was, however, no doubt of the Hawks ' superiority on this day as they took the opening kickoff and marched for a quick touchdown, Marty Feller plunging over from the three-yard line. u Playing its first night game ever, Haw- ken bowed to Beachwood 6-0 on a cold, rainy night at Orange Field. It was a real heartbreaker as the defense came within one play, a well-executed 46-yard burst off tackle in the second quarter, of being perfect. From this point on nothing more could have been asked of the de- fense, which, led by Bob Nash, John White, Jeff Springer, Chip Fiordalis, and Bob Landy up front, did not allow the Bisons beyond mid-field in the second half. The offense, its vaunted passing attack shut off by the weather, did every- thing but score. Behind the blocking of White, Dave Webster, Kip Horsburgh, and Jim Connor, Feller and Bill Ruple kept slanting off tackle for good gains, but whenever a drive gained momentum, the seemingly inevitable fumble came. Because of the emotional drain of the Beachwood game, there was absolutely np build-up for Gilmour. After a subdued effort in practice during the week. Haw- ken faced the Lancers with an air of relax- ation. The Hawks lost, however, by a deceptive 34-12 score, as they surprised the Lancers by staying in the game throughout the first half and playing their hardest-hitting game of the year. After taking the opening kickoff, Gilmour struck with lightning speed to grab a 7-0 lead, but captain Martin ' s passing brought nn SB the Hawks right back for the score. Lacking precision, Hawken finally wilted in the second half, but the only thing to be disappointed about was that it lowered the season record to 2-2. The Hawks then split a pair of games, losing to Lutheran East and edging Mau- mee Valley 16-14. The roof fell in against East. After Ruple had bulled over from the seven for the first score of the game, the Falcons proceeded to rack up 30 straight points. r HM £ |f | iKt After a week of contact, Hawken evened its record at 3-3 with a come- from-behind victory over visiting Mau- mee. After the Mohawks drew first blood. Ruple and Van Ordstrand scored as the Hawks pulled ahead for good. The team exploded against Black River the next week as they amassed 48 first- half points and went on to a 56-0 victory. The game was marked by coach Relic ' s introduction of Stoddard ' s Marauders, a unit comprised of underclassmen and non-starting seniors. Sophomore Marau- der Fred Wendel led eleven Hawken scorers with sixteen points. After a scoreless fourth period in which the Hawk ' s defense held twice within its own ten, Hawken got that last chance. Martin, throwing from the shotgun form- ation, completed five passes to Tracy and Van Ordstand and finally hooked up with Tracy from ten yards out. Then came the last game of the year against Lutheran West. After spotting the Longhorns a 16-0 lead in the first half on two costly errors, the Hawks got an unexpected break late in the third quarter when they recovered a bad snap on a punt on West ' s three yard line. Feller quickly ran for the touchdown and the extra points to put Hawken back in the game. 138 . ' , % ■ .. i The ream will be captained next year by this season ' s middle-linebackers, Al Klauss and Lew McCreary. Fifreen seniors have graduared, bur there is a fine nucleus left, including a strong line and both of this year ' s starting ends.

FOURTH ROW: Olds, Swetland, Hoerr, Jon Boyer, Armington, Rayburn. 141 This was the final season in the six year run of Hawken ' s celebrated offensive line of Marc Files, Charlie Fitz-Gerald, Yonnie Chapman, Dick Lightbody, and Ramsey Weit. They assured the team of good scoring, and the goal-tending was in the able hands of Charlie Hoerr. The inexperienced back-field was the major question in the soccer team ' s quest for a successful season. The defensive backfield proved itself, however, as the Hawks opened the season with a 3-0 victory over visiting Hudson. Chapman, Weit, and Jon Boyer all scored in the second half, while the surprising defense shut out the visitors, Hoerr having to make only four saves. At the same time the Hawks ' front line showered the Hudson defense with over twenty shots at the goal, overriding the young Hudson squad. 142 The second game with Gilmour was an offensive frolic as the Hawks ' scored six times with over twenty-five shots at the goal, while the Young defense allowed only one-fifth as many attempts. Files (2), Weit, Chapman, Hardy Drane, and Tom Royer accounted for this season ' s most prolific scoring. With two straight victories, an inspired Hawken team traveled to Cranbrook in hopes of an upset. But their powerfully balanced defense successfully mitigated Hawken ' s offensive efforts. The shakey Hawken defense allowed only one goal, while Hoerr made over ten saves in the close 1-0 loss. Having scored nine times and having allowed only one goal in three games, the Hawks invaded a strong Western Reserve team. Reserve and Hawken played to an overtime 2-2 tie as Royer scored both times to save Hawken from defeat. Reserve ' s well-balanced team kept Hawken busy throughout this hard-fought battle. Despite two successive disappointments, the soccer team was in high spirits the following week in anticipation of Haw- ken ' s first varsity win over University School. Once again the unsung hero, Royer, scored in the final seconds, this time to give Hawken a 4-3 triumph over the Preppers. Chapman, Weit, and Light- body scored Hawken ' s other points, while Charlie Hoerr, playing in deep mud, allowed three goals for the first time in five years. 143 0t 1 Encouraged by their preceding triumphs, the Hawks returned to play their finest game of the season against Kiski Prep. Both of the well-balanced teams played good, hard soccer. Hawken ' s defense finally jelled, supporting the Hawks ' offensive line with consistently accurate passes, as both wings. Files and Weit, scored to give Hawken a satisfying 2-0 win. 144 iJTm ' ' 3 Having played its finest game of the season, the soccer team went to Gilmour anticipating its first win in double figures. Play- ing poorly, however, the over- confident Hawks scored only twice on shots by Chapman and Boyer. This was the defense ' s fourth shutout as Hawken won 2-0. V Once again the Hawks encountered Hudson, once again the score was 3-0 in favor of Hawken. Weit, Fitz-Gerald, and Files all scored, while defensively, George Lorenz and Dane Anderson showed good, aggressive soccer, reminiscent of last year ' s strong backfield. The next game was against an inexperienced team from Twinsburg High School. The Hawks rolled to an easy 3-1 victory as the front line bombarded Twins- burg with over ten shots, resulting in three goals by Fitz-Gerald (2) and Chapman. With only one defeat and six victories, Hawken challenged Western Reserve for recognition as Northern Ohio soccer champions. Yonni Chapman pushed a shot by W.R.A. in the first period to give Hawken an early lead which lasted the entire first half. But in the third period Reserve cracked Hawken ' s defense with three goals by the Runyon brothers and Nick Jarrold for a 3-1 victory. After a feeble attempt to gain the championship, the soccer team rallied to an anti-climatic 2-0 victory over visiting Maumee Valley. Weit and Fitz-Gerald ended their last season with their sixth and fourth goals respectively. Charlie Hoerr touched the ball only once as the defense recorded its sixth shutout. 146 Next year ' s eight returning lettetmen will certainly miss the outstanding front line which scored 28 times and the persistently excellent efforts of goalie Charlie Hoerr. Also leaving Hawken ' s team will be David Raish, Tinker Veale, John Reed, Terry Hallaran, and Doug Messy-foot Dalton. This year marked the end of an era which started six years ago and ended with Hawken ' s finest soccer season 8-1-2. Next year will begin a new era, a rebuilding to cure the loss in the last two years of offensive and defensive units which had played together since the seventh grade. 4 i Hawken Opponent 31 Lutheran West 57 60 Grand River 64 40 Beachwood 57 57 Maumee Valley 70 50 Lutheran East 48 70 Grand River 64 35 Orange 69 35 Lutheran West 68 61 Ledgemont 48 46 Beachwood 35 51 Lutheran East 59 45 Gilmour 80 56 Maumee Valley 39 52 Ledgemont 25 The 1964-65 basketball team finished with a 7-7 record, its best in three years of varsity competition.

J ones, Royan, Nash. 149 After losing 85% of its point production through graduation, the team faced the problem of finding a consistent scoring punch. The emergence of two players who had previously seen only limited service, Dave Raish and Topper Jones, solved this problem. Raish, a 6 ' 5 senior who had scored but 28 points the year before, scored 204 points and averaged 14.6 points per games to break John Lightbody ' s old mark of 14.5 points. He was also one of the five boys named to Greater Cleveland ' s all-Prep School team. Jones, a junior who had previously seen only junior varsity action, followed with a 12.5 average. Bill Ruple and Bob Nash also contributed to the success of this year ' s team with their consistent playing through- out the season. The highlights of the yea r were victories over Luthetan East, Beach- wood, and Maumee ' Valley Country Day School. Against East, Hawken spotted the Falcons a quick 10-0 lead and then proceeded to fight back gamely. Raish ' s basket midway through the fourth quarter finally put the Hawks even with East. From this point on it was all Jones as he scored 16 of the Hawks ' last 20 points. After regula- tion play had ended in a 42-42 tie, Jones broke the overtime ice on a foul shot with only three seconds gone as Hawken went on to a 50-48 victory. 151 Against arch-rival Beachwood the Hawks avenged an earlier loss with a 46-35 victory. Captain Charlie Hoerr led Hawken ' s situation-zone defense which Coach Rickard stressed all year. Raish was the stand- out as he scored 17 points, gathered 15 rebounds, and blocked eight shots. Defense was the key against Maumee Valley as the Hawks avenged another loss by coasting to a 56-39 win. The Mohawks were unable to get off a good shot against the alert defense and failed to score a first-half field goal. 152 This year marked the first time the team had ever had reasonable bench strength. Steve Beal, Ruple, and Nash played equal time at guard while Chris Royan also gained experience there. Marry Feller, Fred Wendel, and John Van Ordstrand fre- quently spelled Hoerr, Jones, or Raish on the front line. Because Mr. Rickard managed to work several underclassmen into the regular lineup, the loss of graduating seniors is not as great as last year. The only irreplaceable loss is the graduation of manager Kip Horsburgh, whose diligent, faithful work under Coach Rickard over the last five years has made him as valuable a member of the team as any. 153 Hawken Opponent 72 East Tech 13 71 East Tech 14 16 U.S. 78 61 Harvey 33 37 Gilmour 58 28 W.R.A. 67 40 Kiski 55 36 Gilmour 59 37 Massilon 56 The swimmers floundered through a dismal season this winter. After two early season victories over East Tech, the team ' s only bright spot was a hotly con- tested win over Painesville Harvey. The entire team turned an inspiring per- formance in that meet which was wrap- ped up in the last individual event. The losses to Gilmour, Reserve, and U.S. were nei ther close nor unexpected. Only to Kiski and Massilon did the swim- mers lose a close meet. The team ' s failure was in its appalling lack of depth; there were never enough swimmers to fill all the events with pos- sible winners. FRONT ROW: Reed, T. Rankin, Lorenz, Veale, Springer, D. Friedman, DuLaurence, MIDDLE ROW: Taylor, P. Landy, Greene, H. Biggar, Boni. Lightbody, J. Maxwell. BACK ROW: Chamberlain, Reuter, C. Horsburgh, S. Fiordalis, Taplan, Pollock, Boyd. 155 This problem can be partly attributed to the lack of time and space for workouts, which the new pool wiU remedy. A victorious swimming team requires many good swimmers, and this year ' s unimpressive record was achieved despite consistently outstanding perform- ances by a few of the swimmers. Co-captains Jeff Springer and Tink Veale, the most versatile of Hawken ' s swimmers, led the team in scoring throughout the season. Dick Lightbody, a distance swimmer who starts a race lethargically but does not slow down at all, performed well all season and scored highly. Sophomores Chris Horfburgh and Skip Fiordalis stood up well against the older competition, and show great potential for the future. Terry Hallaran is the quiet man on the team who wiU be hard to replace after four years of consistent var- sity breast-stroking. Dennis Freidman, a senior, was the work- horse of the team. Swimming the strenuous 100 yard butterfly, he lowered his time an impressive five seconds during the year and was one of the team ' s high scorers. The swimming team of 1964-65 was the last of Hawken ' s teams with an ex- cuse for defeat. The pool at the Lynd- hurst campus will dispel the excuse, and will hopefully inspire fumre swimmers to victory. 157 _ ' t:, , iili FRONT ROW: Herndon, Dave White. Blount, C. Fiordalis, J. Connor. D.

Quad- rangular Meet 159 This year ' s team opened with high hopes. But the Youngmen and their aging coach never really got up a, head of steam. It is hard to say exactly what was wrong, certainly the potential was there. Individually each boy can probably define where he faltered and also where he excelled. For this reason the season was just as valuable as a winning one. From this the boy can know better how to correa a situation. Everyone on the team has learned what can happen to a potentially good team. But everyone also had bright spots. 160 At 103, sophomore Doug Sato held his own against some of the best wtestlers in the city. Sophomore Newk Herndon at 112 was without a doubt the most improved member of the team. With two more years of ex- perience he should be one of the best in the area. At 120 senior Brooke Stoddard finished a long career and must be accredited as the team ' s best morale booster. The fearless Koehler brothers, Jim and John, and their cohort Steve Blount filled in the 127 and 133 spots. The brothers are the most illus- trious wrestlers Hawken will ever see. Steve was one of our most courageous men. Junior Dave Strong, at 130, was one of our best and is a great prospect for next year. Co-captain Jim Connor compiled the best record on the team at 145, losing only once in dual meets. At 154 co-captain Dave Webster came out high point man. 165 was usually filled by Chip Fiordalis who was individual champion of the W.R.A. Quadrangle at that weight and gave some courageous performances at the two heavier weight classes. Al Klauss was slowed by coming pneu- monia but manage d to hold his own at 175. Heavyweight was filled by Al Kennedy and Steve Klein who had tough rookie seasons but will be back next year. 161 Great credit is due to coaches Young and Timoteo for everything these boys have achieved this season. Looking to next year, beside the returning starters, the team can depend on up-coming Youngmen like George Armington, Lew McCreary, Bill Miltz, Ted Schaefer, and Doug Sahley to fill the gaps left by the graduating seniors. 1965 RECORD Hawken Opponent 36 University School 82 72 Giimour 36 2nd Independent School Invitational 56 Burton 62 85 Parma Byzantine 33 1st Senior Sports Festival 61 Giimour 50 68 Kent State University School 50 67 Beachwood Newbury Maumee 51 —JriipJ r vV jfk f l m % ' ) ' • ' Til ilf ' ' ' ' ■ ' . 11% WW fcJil w bj In an exclusive interview with Onyx staffers, track mentor Rickard overflowed with ecstatic titillations while weighing the potential of the spring season ' s track team.

In the dashes, Charlie Jordan, holder of the 100 yard dash and co-holder of the 220 record, returned this year to break his old records or to see them broken by Rich Fields or Ramsey Weit, his friendly rivals. The 880 yard relay team ran almost in- tact from last year, having lost only Matt Meyer from the team of Jordan, Fields, Weit, and Meyer which held a 1:37.2 record.

Varsity baseball captain Charlie Fitz- Gerald led the most experienced squad in the school last spring as it attempted to better 1964 ' s 12-4 record, the best in Hawken ' s history and tops in Geauga County. The pitching staff was headed by the team ' s two aces, Bill Ruple and John Van Ordstrand, and rounded out by John White and Fred Wendel. Ruple, who ranked fifth among Greater Qeveland pitchers in 1964, and Van Ordstrand, who gained all- scholastic honorable mention, com- bined for 11 of the 12 victories last year. 167 Van Ordstrand (.400), Marty Feller (.341), and Ham Biggar (.314) all placed high in the area ' s 1964 batting race which was won by the Hawk ' s John Lightbody (.486), one of the two seniors who gradu- ated last year. The former three again provided the batting punch this year along with John Tracy and Bob Nash. Yonni Chapman, Kip Horsburgh, and Jim Connor joined Feller to give Hawken a strong outfield. George Armington who filled in well for the oft-injured Fitz-Gerald, combined with Don Martin, Doug Sato, and Chris Royan to give coach Peter Relic a reliable bench.

After losing its first two matches, 1964 ' s tennis team, with the expulsion of its morally decaying smoking element, proceeded to win seven out of its last eight matches for a successful 7-3 record. This year everyone was back from that team with the exception of the doubles team of Bittenbender and Fleming. Charlie Hoerr, Dane Anderson, and Topper Jones, last year ' s regular singles players were back. They were backed by doubles players Tom White and Bill Bruner. Also returning were 1964 ' s intermittent members, Tom Rankin, Steve Epstein, and Charlie Hickox. The only real obstacle the team faced this spring was the small matter of having no courts on which to play. As this long-procrastinated article was being written, the Athletic Department had still been un- able to acquire a court, and the daily tennis parties at the Skating club were being continued on an even larger scale than last year. Despite this pioblem, the ever-patient Coach Pickering in informal conversation this winter ap- peared unusually optimistic. His team, whose mem- bers worked with him on Saturday mornings at the Malvern gym, was he believed, much better than last year ' s. It might even have won the Spring Sports Festival; A possible first, an almost sure second. So, as usual we were looking forward to a good season in tennis, and an even better season could the players have found somewhere to practice. 171 Hawken ' s best babysitters.
