After struggling up the Hill on that September day in 1947 we the Class of 1953 first entered the hallowed halls of Hopkins 'is -1 timid and bevs ildered group of 84 First F ormers. Since we were so large '1 class we set a precedent when we had to be divided into two faculty adviser sections. That very year the Proctors, Club was established to promote qualities of leadership among members of Form III. Having been subjugated to the Hopkins usystemi' of unit slips, contracts, and Saturday sessions, the class was ready to distinguish itself the following year. The best remembered incident, unfortunately, was a plague of a previously unknown kidney disease, which put such famous initials as C.L.V. QCraig La Vinj, H. K. fHerschel Kaminskyl, and R.K.O. QRonald Ohslundl in a medical journal. During its final year in the junior School, the Class of '53 enjoyed the first junior School social affair, a Tea Dance sponsered by, the Senior Class. That yearis Parents' Night was the most impressive of the three experienced by the 44 fellows who made up the ,49-,50 Form III. Coordinating the many com- mittees for this event was a large, but not overwhelming task, in spite of the added responsibility of producing two plays, Circev and The Brink of Silencev. As master of ceremonies, Robert Ragaini bore the main burden of these duties. For its customary initiation, the junior Class of ,5O-,51l followed its chief scout and advisor, Mr. DeNoyon, to Camp Cedarcrest. The annual Day School Clash,', scheduled at Baldwin Hall, was executed without mishap, while the return dance at the other school was enjoyed by all. Herschel Kaminsky added to the glory of his class by winning ther school prize in the Time Current Affairs Test, he has succeeded in repeating this performance each year since that time. As their part in the Senior School Play Night, the juniors presented a one-act farce, The Still Alarmi' by George S. Kaufman. jim Crawford and Craig La Vin will be remembered for their roles as the two sophisticated men-about-town caught in a hotel fire, whilefjon Cohen as the cigar-smoking fire chief and his trusty aide Steve Reid, the iddling fireman, kept up the farcical pace of the play. Ted DeNoyon was on the job as the not-too-bright but diligent bellboy. With many members of the class shining on the athletic field, Bob Hitt, Kev Logan, jordan Pepper, and john Somerville were elected Captains of the base- ball, swimming, track, and tennis teams, respectively, for the coming year. When, in Middle Class year the present Student Council was organized, Ronnie Ohslund of our class was elected Secretary-Treasurer of the Council in an all-school vote, while we chose jim Shanley as our class representative. Other ballots resulted in the election of Bob Ragaini as President, Peter Donnelley as Vice-President, Bob Simeone as Secretary, and john Somerville as Treasurer. We sponsored two very successful dances-The Punkin Prom, a combination ballroom and squaredance affair, and the junior Prom of which Don Striby was Chairman. The first two members of our c ass to be admitted to the Cum Laude Society were Steve Reid and Ben VVooding. During the summer before our Senior year we were pleasantly surprised to learn that two of our classmates, jon Cohen and Steve Reid, competing on a national scale, had won Ford Foundation Scholarships, and therefore would enter Yale in the fall. Because only one other school in the whole country had produced two Ford winners, we felt doubly proud. September came, and at last we were Seniors, the leaders of the school. Robert Ragaini wielded the gavel at Student Council meetings. One of the first official acts of the Council was to appoint Donald Striby, whom we soon elected Presi- dent of our class, as chairman of the United Fund Drive. Bob Simeone, jordan Pepper, and Wayne Downey filled the other top positions, while Bob Norton and Dick Massey were chosen to head the Pantagraph staff. For the first time in its history the Razor appeared as a five-column newspaper under the leadership of Herschel Kaminsky, Craig La Vin, Harold Hochman, Dan Maffeo, and Ben Wooding. A Council-sponsored Halloween Party, for which jim Crawford was Chairman provided fun and amusement for the entire student body.

Last year, Jonathon Cohen and Stephen Reid were awarded Ford Foundation Scholarships to Yale University, on the basis of competitive examinations. The purpose of the experiment was to see how boys who have completed only the junior year of high school would do in college. It is indeed a great honor to Hopkins and to the Class of ,53 to have had two boys receive such an honor.

The gridders began the season with wins over powerfull Storm King, Avon Old Farms, and a speedy Trinity- Pawling eleven. Bill Criscuolo's S0-yard kickoff return in the Trinity-Pawling game gave the Maroon and Grey a hard-fought 18-13 victory. In the Yale Freshman encounter, the injury-riddled Lovellmen fell by the score of 27-26. Paced by Criscuolois brilliant running, they piled up three more victories over Milford Prep, Wilbraham, and Suffield, the last two by virtue of Eddie Apicellais extra-point kicking. Captain Iunie Orifice, verteran center, led the team with his heads-up play. He was aided in the line by tackles George Cory and Allie Malavese, and guards Wayne Downey and Gary Sochrin. Downey, who blocked the Wilbraham extra- point attempt in the 7-6 game, won the cup for most improvement during the course of the fall. Ends Jordan Pepper and Bob Simeone nabbed a total of 20 passes for 344 yards. Criscuolo topped the array of backs with 1047 yards total offense. Fullback Bob Hitt, who played despite painful knee and elbow injuries, garnered 350 yards and starred as a backer-up on defense. Quarterback' and safety-man Kevin Logan, Tom Purcell, jim Crawford, Captain-elect Art Trunkfield, Eddie Apicella, and Bill Palumbo also proved invaluable to the high-spirited team. SOCCER H.G.S.

Undiscouraged by the first loss to Choate, the team went on to post a remark- able record. Under the strong leadership of Captain Dante DeDominicis, the Maroon and Grey crushed their arch rival Kingswood, and they pushed Taft to the last minute of play, when they lost on an accidental foul. With strong determination, hard work, and unexcelled team spirit, this yearis squad set a new scoring record of 29 goals in one season. Dante also broke his last year's record of 13 goals by two more, while George Hodgetts set another record with seven assists. The greatest amount of credit for this achievement should go to Mr. Mertens, who once again turned last yearis subs into this year's stalwarts. Next year, how- ever, there will be eight returning lettermen, and it is regretted that Mr. Mertens will not be here to receive the fruits of victory from a team of which, under the Co-Captaincy of Carl and Dave Lindskog, we can expect great things. 35 H.G.S. 7 1 Swimming Squad First Row: P.

After beating Hand High School, the team played four games on its own courts, defeating Trinity-Pawling, Choate, VVestminster, and Hackley. The Hopkins basketballers suffered defeat at the hands of Milford Prep. but the team showed its fine spirit and ability in its next game with Peekskill Military Academy. Fighting gamely, the Maroon and Grey were overcome by two powerful teams, the Yale Freshmen and Irving School. They soon sparked up, however, and beat Suffield, but lost the final game of the season to Trinity Parish. In the Westchester tournament, H.C.S. defeated Peekskill in the first round, but bowed out to Hackley in the second, thus closing out the season with a fine record. SWIMMING VIS. HAMDEN H.

Unfortunately Canterbury and Peekskill proved to be too strong for the plucky Eriehmen, but they showed their mettle by winning the next four meets, against the New York Military Academy, Avon, Cheshire, and Trinity Pawling. Finally, the fine-spirited team came up against three power- ful opponents, Hotchkiss, U. of Connecticut Freshmen, and Trinity Freshmen.

In any case, the determination was unsurpassed, by the end of the season, they had matched the record of last year's team in several meets including the heart-breaking one point loss to the Yale Freshmen. This yearis squad was best described by the word teamv. Every man was indispensable, for the team record was the important goal. V 14 13 Track Squad First Row: F.. Huy, Davis, C. Loeffel, C.

After their unfortunate first encounter with the Yale Freshmen, the H.G.S. nine defeated Suffield. The next game and the one after it were heart-breakers, for they lost to Choate by only one run. However, the team came back and made up for it by overwhelming Irving school, 18 to 2. The Maroon and Grey next ran into a streak of bad' luck, as they lost three straight, to Notre Dame, Trinity- Pawling, and Cheshire. However, they pulled out of it in time to beat Milford. It seemed as if the team,s bad luck was back to plague them, as they lost to Loomis, but soon good luck and determination to win returned, and the squad won the last five games to end a splendid season.

Captained by jordan Pepper, national junior shot put champion and holder of the school records in the discus and shot put events, the team had many winners in various events. Curt Cobb was a constant victor in the half-mile, and 220-yard dash, Bill Criscuolo, Captain-elect for next year, starred in the 100-yard dash, 440-yard run, and theg high jump, Hal Kurzweil contributed greatly in the high and broad jumps, and Wayne Downey and Frank Toole added depth to the field events. As representatives of Hopkins in the New England Interscholastic and Prep School meet hald at Brown University, Curt Cobb and jordan Pepper garnered 11 points to win a fourth place tie for the Maroon and Grey.

Rain proved to be the deciding factor in that match, for a week later, with more experience, Hopkins defeated Hamden in revenge. The nucleus of the team was a strong one, with four returning lettermen, Dave Beers, Captain Wally Meyer, Phil Wedemeyer, and Dante DeDominicis. The loss of .john Somerville, last year's Captain, was compensated by the arrival from Hillhouse of Marc Sendroff, who was defeated only twice during the entire season. Very closely rivaling Marc was Dave Beers, with only three losses. Captain Wally Meyer played excellent, dependable, winning tennis all season long. Added to this nucleus were George Higgs, Mike LaGrua, Howie Bowns, and Phil Wedemeyer, who reliably turned in those wins necessary for victory. J. V. Football First Row: T. Young, C.

'A The Pantagraph Although the 1953 Plll'lfll,LfNllJh did not appear on schedule, its new features and handsome format minimized the effect of the delay. A class history was included in the Panfagraplz for the first time in its existence, while the section of snapshop montagues was exceptionally well done. WVhile Editor-in-Chief Bob Norton, Craig LaVin, Herschel Kaminsky, Harold Hochman, and Phil VVedemeyer coped with the editorial and technical problems of the book, Business Manager Rich Massey and his staff of Jim Shanley, Ierry Skolnick, Dan Maffeo, Ira VVeinberg, Ronnie Ohslund, and Pordan Pepper in- sured the financial success of the yearbook. The Literary Magazine Under the Co-Editorship of Ben Wooding and Bonnie Ohslund, The Hopkins Literary Magazine, conducted by the Literary Club, reached heights which it has seldom attained in several years. The first issue of this semi-annual publica- tion had an overdose of fill-the-magazinev and meet-the-deadlinev quality material and was on the whole a mediocre effort. However, in their second attempt, the editors, although forced to choose material from a very meagre group of authors, produced what Miss Barton, reviewing the magazine in the Razor, termed definitely the best issue in several yearsf' Most of the contributions for the magazine were solicited from the Literary Club of which Dave Beers was President and Phil Wedemeyer, Secretary. The Razer This year was indeed a year of notable firsts in the history of the Razor. NVinning two first class awards from the National Scholastic Press Association and one from the Columbia Scholastic Press Association, the first Excellent ratings in eight years, the paper fulfilled the expectations of the 1951-52 Senior Board members who had predicted in their final farewell that it would reach maturity this year. Having taken a great step forward by enlarging the serni-rnonthly paper from four to five columns, the Senior Board composed of Editor-in-Chief Herschel Kaminsky, Managing Editor Craig LaVin. Associate Editor Harold Hochman, Business Manager Dan Maffeo, News Editor Ben Wooding, and Circulation Manager Ira Weinberg maintained high journalistic standards throughout the vear. Never before did the Razor carry so many exclusives. The features department improved immensely, and for the first time interviews with famous personalities were a regular feature. There was excellent photographic coverage of all im- portant news and sports events with more than four times the number of photographs printed in any previous year. A new record was also set in ad- vertising copy. The last issue, the biggest in Razor history, was a ten-page number which traced Dr. Lovellis life and career at Hopkins. Although the re- sults of the N.S.P.A. competition for the second semester of school will not be disclosed until the fall, Razor editors had expectations for an All-American rating.
