His unselfish and untiring help to all of us, both in the classroom and on the campus, will always be gratefully remembered by all who knew him. 'ix 3 Y M5552 5 ii' 1 255 tsaidrwjfx six?

In Memoriam FRED H. GORDON, JR. Born: September 7, 1936 Died: February 27, 1955 Fred Gordon probably enjoyed and respected Hotch- kiss more than any other student. Having endured a serious operation in 1954, Fred insisted on returning to Hotchkiss, even with the thought that perhaps less than a year of his life remained. Hotchkiss meant something very great to Fred and it is fitting that the senior class has established a scholarship fund in his memory. WILLIAM BRADFORD HALL Born: july 27, 1919 Died .' February 8, 1955 William Bradford Hall was a quiet man. Minding his own business, he would never interfere with others. Those who knew him, liked him, and those that came in close contact with him, adored him. In the afternoon, he would usually be found with a group of boys checking and improving his many projects in the Hotchkiss woods. His knowledge of nature and willingness to pass it on will probably never be exceeded at Hotchkiss. ROBERT L. PORTER Born: july 6, 1927 Died .' january 30, 1955 Robert L Porter entered Hotchkiss in 1955. Somewhat green in the teaching profes- sion he was slow getting started. Once known, however, he was well liked and strongly respected by all His background revealed an excellent education, and his future at Hotch- kiss looked extremely promising. He was one of the kindest and most generous men at Hotchkiss His effort to always try to help people and his willingness to attack difficult tasks around the campus made him a very likable person.

U M fi W ff f Q5 x x 1 ,ff Seniors +. N appreciation to Dr. Harry Weiiler for his untiring energy and devotion to Hotchkiss, He leaves many memories with all who have known him. His keen sense of humor and sharp memory have been enjoyed by many generations of students on the Hill, and his warm interest in school life made him an important figure in the Hotchkiss community. Hotchkiss loses a great man, but realizes how lucky they were to have had his services for 28 years. 22 lm! H irtor PREP YEAR HE class of 1955 arrived on the Hill in the Fall of 1951 just about like any other Prep class-scared, curious, bewildered, and apprehen- sive. Most of us didn't appreciate how important a stage in our lives we had reached. Of the 59 boys who checked in for four year terms, 25 were destined to get a premature parole. Only 34 of the originals survived until graduation. A total of 42 boys came and went during the four year his- tory of the class. Surely this history had more than its share of troubles. But it also had its laughs as well as its disappointments, its successes as well as its failures. We faced those first few weeks with varying degrees of homesickness and freshness. Our senior advisors showed us around schoolg we bought newspapers and assignment sheets and radiator in- suranceg a miscalculation on the strength tests and Fernandez propaganda established Fernandez as class rock until Spring term when the mistake was discovered, we raided Memorial, with Piroumoff battling a certain red-head seniorg and we longed for the Senior-Prep picnic which had been banned the previous year. Trouble started early for the Class of '55, .is the knife-throwing incident gave us a preview of coming attractions. The first holiday, in honor of the Duke, was ushered in on a foggy day. Buck and Lord made strange sacrifices in behalf of the Giants as they battled for the pennant and the World Series. Garland unraveled Birch's dental floss down the corridor only to find that it was his own, while Butch kept his corridor up late relating experiences about the marines and Wzxsli- ington and Lee. As We began to settle into the routine, friend- ships began to form while landmarks of personal- ity began to emerge. Tanner quickly established himself as class clown-his renowned Superman act was interrupted one day by Mr. Bolmer, his opening of the first floor bathroom window brought twofold embarrassment, Og and the bath- room lights fell prey to his belt blows. Birch vied with Moulton for most-gullible as he spent much money on telephone calls to Chappaqua to check on the latest Atom Bomb or plane crash. Bucl-is athletic ability and Taylors and Larry Browne's intellectual ability was soon evident. Leibeskind's room soon became the scene for many class parties as did Og's, while de la Camera gave us a preview of Rivera, and Ardrey's bulling gave us a preview of Ardrey. Benton had trouble in the Monahan shower room, and Herweg had trouble with the draft board. Thus the slowest term of the year progressed slowly while the orientation with the school and our classmates progressed rapidly. The undefeated football team provided us with many thrills and much pride as it rolled over the oppositions and set the tone for the most successful Hotchkiss ath- letic year of our sojourn.l' The final game at Kent was perhaps the most exciting sports event of our entire career. Tiger Tom's field trips, Butch's Hittites and description of the bulls, Pars0n's bolts symbolized classroom activity as we struggled to get out and stay out of study hall. An excellent H. D. A. performance of Billy Budd, the Fall Dance in which we had a chance to line the corridors and ogle the dates, for the first of many times, and our first taste of the fiukes were other highlights of our first term on the hill. We had looked forward to Christmas vacation with the greatest of anticipation and we soon learned just how fast Hotchkiss vacations go. The first few days of the winter term were spent feel- ing probably more homesick than we did after any other vacation than after any other throughout our four year stay. But as always we soon fell back into the swing of things and began to witness a most successful athletic term. Only the basketball team was disappointing as the hockey team won the Housatonic League, the Skiing team was un- defeated, and the swimming team lost only to the Yale Frosh and even then they took them to the last relay, they ended up the season in fine fashion by copping the Trinity Interscholastics and the New Englands with ease. The iirst class elections found Tom Williams in the President slot a spot he held for over two years until he went to England. During the middle of the term Whittaker and some friends were embarrassed when the former's father entered the room at precisely the wrong time. eGorge French feeling like most of us only more so, became good friends with Mr. Ely's black dog. About ten alarm clocks set at twenty minute intervals failed to wake Lord out of a sound sleep. Nearing the end of the term, as we were be- ginning to feel our Wheaties we took on the Lower-Mids in a snowball fight one night and it became so involved that it had to be carried on the next day on Taylor Held. Another night we thoroughly pummeled a certain Senior as we am- bushed him successfully outside Buehler. That Winter term was a good one for the hockey players as the lake was open for skating for the only time during our stay on the Hill, and there was skating almost every day. Hank Glover became the first of us to grace the H. D. A. stage as he undulated in The Connecticut Yankeef, Thus the term neared the end amidst the watch- ing and not understanding The Critic, as the faculty entertained us for once. We returned to the Spring term minus Liebes- kind and Turner and plus visions of reportedly the best term of the year. For most of us it was. Rut Simmons was an exception as his frequent trips to Millerton were soon uncovered, and he made his last trip home for the summer vacation. His was about ten days longer than any of the rest of us. It was also a bad term for the upper classes with smoking trouble and a shake-up in class elections. We lost a holiday because of that trouble. It was also a bad term for four of our class who made the biggest news of the year on Easter Sun- day morning. Toulouse La Ford, Snakesi' Gar- land, Melonhead Pordan, and Chappaqua Birch were all going for sevens, but instead got the clas5's first sequesttrations. Dumb Dave didn't help matters any when he came out with the prize remark that there wasn't anything better to do. Diversions for the term were Mr. Ely's baby sitter and Hibernating Uppie's early bed time which the boys tried nightly to disrupt. We found that this term went the fastest as we enjoyed the holidays, played stickball, and watched the track, tennis, baseball, and golf teams have good seasons. Ardrey became our first and only letter winner of the year as he played No. 6 man on the tennis team. Some of the boys on the third floor provided a great deal of the action and were surprised one night to find themselves locked out of their rooms. Meanwhile the second fioor locked Josaphine in a of lower mids who certainly could not be called studious, but whose major concern was getting out for Christmas vacation. The Biltmore boys Lind and Bentley were barely in school a week before they were planning good times in the Rough-Rider Room. However, for those who were inclined the opening of the new library and the new auditorium offered many advantages to the Hotchkiss boy. As the fall term progressed everyone was dis- appointed to see the football team lose a game to Deerfield after thirteen straight victories. Her- feg who had gained the distinction of being called on the most in Parson's English class was jolted when walking innocently, for once, down the closet and, with Lieb gone looked for someone else to heckle. The first floor with all the room shifting finally over and sobered by the effect of the crap game concentrated on the baby sitter and were reasonably quiet despite Tanner. Final exams, summer vacation, and summer school were on us before we knew it, and most of us found that we had actually enjoyed the Spring Term. The Devil's Desciple with Churchill playing the waif Essie, the Upper-Mid Dance, and Memorial Day came and went. We sold our books, cleaned out our lockers, said good-by to classmates, some of whom we would never see again and de- parted to points unknown for three months of bliss. LOWER MID YEAR The fall of 1952 brought back a calous group second floor and saw plaster come flying from all directions at him. It turned out to be Gordie showing Huff a few pointers on skeet shooting with an unloaded shotgun. Of all the lower mids the most popular with the upper classmen was Tiger Al Benton who found that he was often locked out of his own room by the pleasure seeking boys on the Boz's floor. No sooner had the class passed through the pillars of Hotchkiss when Perry was caught mak- ing a quick exit out a window at the halfway house by Porky which started him to a career of about three sequesters and Duke. During the almost snowless winter months McChesney house was the scene for almost all extra curricular activities. A solvent group was kept in not so tight military order by their leader Sgt. Chan. Unfortunately his right hand man Little Bo turned traitor and sabotaged his prize com- mand car. At first it was thought that Happy jack and Ace Brown were the culprits, but after the third degree by Can's Lieutenants the real vil- lain was found and sent to the Doc for treatment. Porter's tape recorder was the hit of exam week, and panel shows and mock trials were held by John Buck. Recording, however, was suddenly ended when Butch found his History class had been wired. To avoid any disappointment on the first night of Spring vacation Avie', was selling Civil De- fense cards on order, and Budda was peddling draft cards to those who looked no more than ten. Spring was soon busting out all over and from the roof of Coy where Speedy and Big Dick were throwing riotous parties to the deepest part of the woods where Moulton was looking for golf balls a riotous time was had by all. Chuck had some wonderful Sunday evening concerts lined up for us all this year. The best performance was given by Fernandez after an exhilerating afternoon at Grupeis house. The one that drew the most applause was a two piano job in which either Ruggie, Bissell, Moulton, or Gar- land lost a comb. When Mr. Connick took ill, his Public Speak- ing classes were taken over by Guthrie Janssen Qspelled with two s'sj. At once checked shirts came into vogue at Hotchkiss. The high point of the year was Doc Sylvania's reading of The Flight From Hungary. Unfortunately the good Doctor and Bob Coyle were the victims of Hotch- kiss's Public Speaking Condition Class. janssen's classes were enjoyed by all and even Birch gave him an odiferous present which through the whole class and gave the Hawk man no end of trouble. Bill Phillips won the Hartford Courant Science Prize. It was suspected that this grew out of the many hours of arduous work put in in the boiler room of Coy. ' On second Coy The Rock ruled with an iron hand. Yet one night he had a lapse and water pistols brought about full scale war between the second and third corridors, while on Munzie's Hoot Friedman was being rolled down the cor- ridor. The Rock was able to pin a third censure on Garland when he found him with a crow in his room. He wasn't going to give him a censure but on finding the bird was not house broken, he did. Budda by the end of the Spring term had driven the maids wild with the small zoo he had in his room. The only person whose name appeared on the Tuesday morning censure list more than his was G. D. K. jrfs. The final exams came around none too soon, and as Clint growled last minute pointers into our heads Budda was out making a play for a certain Miss MT on the rock by the shore of the lake. UPPER-MIDDLE YEAR Upper-middle year seemed to most of us the deserved recognition after the obscurity of Lower- middle year. At last we were supposedly ready to assume some of the responsibilities that were tra- ditionally reserved for the Upper classmen. There were now two classes to look down upon as younger and slightly more immature. The first meal found the Mayor of Otis at one of the upper mid tables and not at his accustomed head. Erbs had become a member of the five year plan for veterans, and '54's loss was ,55's gain. Dempsey was another addition to our class, but he was forced to leave before Thanksgiving due to circumstances beyond anyone's control. Wailes and Aldrich soon began challenging Lord for top scholastic honors as these two new boys amazed everyone with their fertile and productive brains. Scott Bratton also came upon the Hotchkiss scene, and everyone soon knew who the girls in Wil- liamstown were rushing that season. Most of the class was assigned to Alumni and we moved in joining the ranks of those who had been watched over by the Mighty One, The Little One, The Neat One, and Albo. The basement boys were a select group who kept pretty much to themselves only to emerge from the depths when Russ had a feed. It was after one of those cele- brated feeds that T. P. fShouldersj amazed every- one by carrying on after lights with an adversary who had a great advantage in weight, height, and experience. T. P. managed to extricate himself, however, and Lord and Tanner took over the monumental struggle. The second fioor was ruled with an iron hand by The Little Man who tried desperately to keep Garland from his third censure. However, the task was an impossible one and Stick was told that he was to be sequestered. Bill handily reported that this was only his second censure and, after care- fully checking the files, B. returned to his post opposite Bissell's and Mannion's double room to listen once more to the melodic strains of I lV'i.rb 1 Wax in Peoria. Things were generally quiet on the upper two fioors except for an occasional outburst of The Great Debates between Lind and Fernadez. It was reported that these discussions often started as early as five-thirty in the morning and lasted far into the night. The entire corridor banded together one night to surprise Birch with a new door for his room. Albo was quick to perceive that all was not right and Dave was saved from a rather un- comfortable night. However, such happenings were few and far between and the class was generally quiet and busy trying to keep abreast of the work that accompanied the status of Upper-Mid. The class began to win distinction for itself early in the Fall Term. During the football game with The Boys From The Choate School, The Flash From Left Tackle stumbled into the Choate backfield and grabbed the ball which had been flipped into the air. The ensuing touchdown brought fame to a hither unknown speedster, and the extra point brought a tie to Hotchkiss and the cry of We want Stockwell resounded through- out the great hall before the movie. The traditional holidays were not long in ap- pearing and Bill Phillips became the first member of '55 to win the school a day in the countryside. Mannion decided he would like to have a hand in deciding holidays too, and Thanksgiving was al- most lost when he organized a band of the boys to raid the Lower-mid dorm. The attack was thwarted, however, when Munzie appeared on the scene and after determining the names of the attackers Csome of whom were in his classesj he rewarded their efforts with censures. There was only one dark spot in this encounter as Larsen and Garland crushed a hapless Lower Mid's time machine while plundering his room. The Fall Play established Bob jorden as one of the finest dramatic actors in school as his lead role in 'la1n'11ey'r End was skillfully portrayed. The Fall term ended on an ominous note when Moulton was apprehended by a newcomer from Deerfield enjoying the forbidden fruits of the Kentucky tobacco fields. Bill was sequestered and promised he would never smoke again. There was a rather uncomfortable feeling run- ning through the class as the Winter Term began. The tension was temporarily eased when the Great White Rabbit became so amazed at finding him- self actually playing in a first team basketball game and felt so grateful to the opposition for allowing the score to become one-sided enough so that he could play obliged with two for Berkshire on a fast break. The Record. much to Harv's consterna- tion the was heard complaining about the injustice of the Sports Editor the rest of the yearj published his name in the Green's lineup and his great accomplishment was recorded for posterity. A group of Upper-Mids were invited to a dance at Westover School during this term, and the re- mari, sult of this dance seriously affected our class for the rest of our stay at Hotchkiss. A strong suspi- cion had been present for some time that many of the boys were breaking the starred rule. The day after the dance when we were asked to remain after morning chapel these suspicions were proven correct. The result of The Great Purge was recog- nized immediately as words such as Rah-Rah, Dissipate, Fess Up, Butter, and Special Discipline began to become a part of the Hotch- kiss vernacular. The situation which at first seemed so unfortunate as it brought a split among the ranks of the class and a rather limited outlook to several as to the prospects of returning to the Hill in September of '54, soon gave way to another point of interest as Merrymazznl and Pat McLean arrived to provide the Mid. Hank Glover finally was forced to yield his priority over female leads to Pat, who did her best to show Henry how to portray the part of the dashing young lover. The Spring Term was eagerly looked forward to by many. Mr. Stone and Guy Rollins anxiously awaited the time when they would become national celebrities and appear at breakfast tables all over the country. On February 25, Life magazine pub- lished their article describing life at Hotchkiss. For several months the photographers had been taking pictures of almost every phase of the pat- tern which is Hotchkiss from impromptu feeds to holidays. Some found the article a little disappoint- ing either because they felt it did not depict Hotchkiss as it really is or because their picture did not appear in the article. The Almlzfzi News' published their own version of Life at Hotchkiss later in the year, and although Rollins did not appear as Atas on the front page, the article was a great success and just reward for those who spent so much time working to compile the neces- sary material. 1 The most remembered event of this term was the Upper Middle dance. Williams, Lord, and Greenberg had already assumed the task of pub- lishing the Record while Bissell and Huffines were given the responsibility of organizing and financ- ing the Mirrb. Piroumoff was elected head of Student Council and Erbe finally got a date for the dance. The weekend was extremely enjoyable and rather tiring to at least one member of the class. The Curved One stumbled into Terrell's room late Sunday afternoon and collapsed on the bed exhausted. Eager questions were applied to ascer- tain the cause of the strange malady which was plaguing him, but a moan of pain and anguish was all that was offered in reply. The following day the jug had a new inmate, and knowing glances were exchanged between those who in- quired as to the patient's progress. The affair re- mained shrowded in mystery until the Little Man emerged from under Doctor Weiler's care just in time to miss taking his final exams which he was considered too weak to undertake. Thus Erbe be- came a Senior. Earlier in the term the Bunyans had been as- signed to the Woods Squad in an effort to teach them something of nature and outdoor life. Their instructor was a man who is known for his great knowledge and ability as a teacher in such nelds. The boys were amazed when the axe slipped and were overawed by the courage and perseverance of their leader as he disregarded his wound com- pletely and continued his task of imparting a little of the philosophy of nature to the crudest of all boys. Summer vacation loomed just over the horizon, and a few of the hitherto kuiet gentlemen from the basement decided to seek relaxation from the toils of review and last minute Cramming. An excellently organized group of twelve left one night at the oddest of hours to seek the balm of the Connecticut Spring. Canoeing and hiking were the main interests of this harmless venture, as Tim led the boys across the lake and down to Lakeville with a short rest on the shores of Wanascopomuc to inhale the elixir of life. All went well until Friedman went to bed early one night and Hall, walked into the Quiet One's den, asked him why he was sleeping lin his clothes. Harv's obvious inability to answer provided Binny with the neces- sary proof, and the great secret was discovered. Someone finally reminded someone else that not everyone would consider the venture legal and it was decided that everyone was sufficiently relaxed and anyway the term was drawing to a close. The year ended with most of us looking for- ward to assuming the role of Senior and moving into the final stage of our lives at Hotchkiss. For some it was a year in which they learned that one cannot always yield to one's own personal desires, and expect to be accepted as a member of a group of many. The year had taught many values that could only be gained outside the classroom, and we were ready at last to become the leaders of the school. SENIOR YEAR We returned to the hallowed campus undimin- ished in spirit and vigor, but less a few classmates who, for one reason or another, planned their schooling at some other institution. Nevermore would Hotchkiss see the fair Visage and masculine torso of Batman, nevermore would we receive the inspiring words of Lind and Grupeg Fernandez' calm and quiet courage in the face of disaster was a thing of the past, Reidy no longer staggered through the halls, Aldredge seemed but a shooting star in our class's intellectual sky, the graceful, yet enthusiastic contributions of George French were lost to all phases of school life, and of course gone also were those voluntary withdrawals to bigger and better things: jordan, Williams, and Whittaker. We all felt the loss, but with chins high we determined to press on, regardless. Most of us found our rooms in Memorial, but a picked squad were detached per request to West. On arrival they discovered an extraordinary thing: more than half the dorm was occupied by upper- mids. Only Dr. Bowen's half was blessed, while Dr. Demaray had to tolerate juveniles. In spite of their small numbers, the Westies accounted for a large part of the interesting things which hap- pened Senior year. For example, after a little dili- gent research we established the East-West Light and Power Company, with Hixon as president, and nearly the entire corridor as beneficiaries. This was obviously a sound move-both eyes and radio batteries were conserved, and morale lifted. In the process, however, Murray and Hixon managed to short out two or three of the large fuses, with resultant explosions and bursts of Hame which were justified to inquisitive masters only by capi- talizing on their innocence of matters electrical. On the same corridor elaborate high-fidelity found its origin, and soon spread out from Garrison's monopoly all the way to Phillip's chamber. Wild- life found good homes in West, unfortunately much of it, unlike Wailes' chickens and Sunshine's squirrels, was unwelcome. We found it disturbing to see a fourteen inch rat leap happily from the food-laden bottom drawer on our entrance, or to find squirrel-droppings covering the desk, as Lar- sen did. But the large Animal-Trap took its toll, and the pattering of little feet grew less as the year moved on. A pact, unprecedented as far as I know in Hotchkiss history, was formed between Watt and Terrell: their attempt for absolute chastity in the face of that powerful urge was indeed noble, even if questionably successful. Erbe and Fawcett waged a friendly rivalry for the honor of being the Biggest Little Man on the fioor, and we could never really decide who won. Master Gordie also introduced us to the beauties of Bruebeck and Ramsey Cas did Dr. Bowen in the latterjg Bissel and Mannion kept Harvey in abject humility, except when the Rabbit broke loose into one of his tantrums with Greenberg. Occasionally we were disturbed by the youths from the other side, who enjoyed such pranks as speeding the large trash container into our peaceful sector, but either mature indifference or fierce retaliation calmed them in a hurry. Meanwhile the boys in Memorial were be- coming acquainted with the three new masters there. Goucho was an old fixture on the second fioor-everyone knew the Gay Caballero-and al- though he worked industriously to lengthen the little list on the back of his door, our subtlety and care kept it at what must have been a dis- appointing low. But his fury was really aroused by marble rolling, Stockwell and Ross became martyrs, although they escaped serious punishment for this foul offense. It should definitely be men- tioned that a healthy interest in science was shown by many of the Memorialitesg Al johnson was initiated into the mysteries of applied electricity a little abruptly when VanderVeer plugged his vic into the 220 volt oulet, but Al realized it was all in the spirit of good, clean fun. And he couldn't stay mad when everyone helped him pick up the pieces. With an eye toward the future, Tanner began his campaign for the Treadway prize early in the year. It was a little startling to find tiny preps marching through the halls shouting Tanner for Treadwayf' but as that fever spread throughout the school we began to realize that he was the only man for the award. It's really a shame that jerry could never peacefully coexist with the rules. He and Cap'n Bill Moulton left our ranks after an unfortunate affair in the physics lab. Oh well, c'est la vie! In its last year our class avoided any real schisms. As Ardrey observed, a little of the old inter-class animosity was stirred up by the Student Councils defeat over the class gift question, but it soon subsided. Personal clashes sometimes cen- tered around the bulbous figure of john Neu. He and VanderVeer never got along too well, after their regrettable encounter, john was affectionately known as Slasheh by those who knew him best. Quite often we would find him up in West, lying on Terrell's bed, a situation which might have made it rather hard for Toby to keep that pact . . . but here-we-go-gathering-nuts-in-May, all in good fun and the spirit of merriment. During those trying few days when everyone except Big Al Benton was trying to dash off the 5,000 work English mid-year, Memorial followed West's lead and established, through universal co- operation, all night lights. For the sake of pesterity no more shall be said, boys will study even if reactionary masters try to hamper their intellectual growth by shutting off electricity. The strain was not nearly so great when time came to teagle it, and so all of lived a little less dangerously. Box 52, Love Limited, became one of the more famous addresses in the school through the magnanimous efforts Bratton and Whitney to bring a little cheer into the lives of lonely women, but this philan- thropic act was put down as out of order. The winter play came along Qnaturally carrying a heavy load of Senior starsj and with it came Linda Kelsey. The fair girl skillfully avoided the pol- ished advances of Rock Murray, and ended by involving Lord in one of his deeper entanglements. But the enchantment faded like the fragrance from a dying jasmine, and Magoo settled down once again to a more regular, if less exquisite, love life. Spring vacation saw a fairly large group heading for the blue waters of Bermuda: Blair, Erbe, Ardrey, Stockwell, Friedman, Russel, Greenberg, and Wey were our ambassadors of friendship and school relations. They must have been good ones, for it was rumored that the Duke got a letter from an elderly Bermuda lady complimenting him on the behavior of his boys. It was also darkly hinted that this note was composed by Blair to offset factual reports of dissipation and riotous living, but the report was never confirmed. Another facet of our extensive social life at Hotchkiss was the Emma Willard Glee Club concert and following dance-one or two girls made the trip evidently as managers or morale boosters, one of these was Liz Quail, and she did more to boost Nuese's morale than the singersi. During the dance she and Kiffi retired modestly to the history room for a little mutual research. The year's frivolity and light-heartedness was marred by two faculty deaths and the passing of one of our own classmates. Mr. Porter and Mr. Hall met greatly premature ends, and Fred Gordon succumbed to a long and malignant illness. The injustice of the situations impressed all of usg to many it was the first time that death had involved them so deeply. It was a new and depressing ex- perience, and yet we had only the faintest knowl- edge of how terribly it affected the families of all three men. It was a maturing experience we would gladly have gone without. Our class had the honor of being Mr. Van Santvoord's last Seniors. He announced his retire- ment in the winter term, and a memorial dinner, which most of attended, was given on April twenty-second. We have been fortunate to have been under the Duke's guidance for these im- portant years, and our values and concepts have profited through his influence. We wish the new headmaster, Dean Chappel, the greatest success in filling large shoes. Naturally H'55 received new members to re- place those gone with the wind, and their con- tributions were nothing less than extraordinary. Jacko was probably the biggest gun on Captain Mannion's powerful swimming team, setting new school records in the one hundred and two hun- dred yard freestyles, and the individual medley, and taking second places in all these events in the nationwide prep-school times. Jay Cavenuagh, The jolly Green Giant, made lucid and unusual decisions in Biology 2, and Mike Mitchell and Harry Mahbles Swicegood brought liberality and Old Boston to our culture. Rising's cheery face was a sight to gladden the downtrodden, and he proved a versatile track-man. Enteman led the wrestling team to a brief and dubious season, without VanderVeer, on sequestration at the time, they lacked real confidence and experience. But the dormant ability was there, and needed only constant stimulation. Tano Urruti Rivera, etc., caught on to English in a surprisingly short time, and brought a good touch of Old World Civiliza- tion into Memorial. Porter already knew a peculiar form of English, and used it much of the time in defending his fatherland from verbal castigation. Through a mass misjudgment by admissions boards, our class held a few men not yet in college as we wrote this. Princeton and Yale showed strange taste in refusing obviously desirable people. Murray faces a p.g. course at Lawrenceville, and others face a few years in khaki, but the class spirit remains unbroken by the fell clutch of cir- cumstances. Spring term and the elfervescence of youth brought on some severe disciplinary meas- ures, but our class once more proved its stature by staying out of real trouble. Huilines' momentary departure from Christian tradition in his failing to bellow all four verses of Fight On, Fight On for jesus caused the wrath of heaven to fall upon his head, but he later assured us that he didn't mind, because he had converted his room into a mosque, and himself into a Moslem. In retrospect, the year was a good one. We played hard, although sometimes, as in the Wil- liams track meet, denied the earned victory, and we worked quite a bit. Huffines' party should wrap things up with a bang, one way or another. It's pretty hard sometimes to remember that it's all comedy, but one gets there, you know.

Competing for quarterback were O'Brien, Russell, and Winstoiig for left halfback, Ardrey, Tracy, and Massengillg for fullback, Nuese, Murray, and Ryan, at right half, Captain Erbe. The line was also very corn- petitivei at left end, Lord, Patterson, and Swart- woodg at right end, Terrell and Ernst, at left tackle, R. Torrey, Torrey, and Tannerg at right tackle, Vincent, Mead. Wcallesg at center, Wztlls, Bush, Gurney, at right guard, Birch, Glover, and liergusong at lc-ft guard, Stockwell, Weyf, and Wfalden. lirom the large squad of forty-eight, a starting line-up on ends Toby Terrell and Wiii Lord, tackles Bill Mead and Bo Torrey, guards jim Stockwell and Dave Birch, and center Larry Wtills, ably backed up by veterans Gus Wfinston, Kit' Nuese, jay Gerli, and Captain Pete Erbe as the backfield was ready to entounter a strong Willistori eleven. Two Wfilliston lialfbacks, lde and Hayes, proved to be Hotchkiss' downfall as they adroitly shook loose around the ends time after time. From tackle to tackle, Hotchkiss was impregnable with Mead, Torrey, Glover, Bush, and Vincent forming a solid wall, but this was not quite good enough. At 2:30 p.m. of the second Saturday in October Hotchkiss opened its 1954 football season at Baker Field with Glover kicking deep into Willistor' territory. From the hrst play of scrimmage, Hayes went all the way for a touchdown, only to be called back because of illegal use of the hands. On the next play Torrey recovered a Williston for a gain of thirty-seven yards. This offensive drive moved the ball into the visitors' territory for the hrst time of the second half, but a fatal pass interception proved to be the crushing blow, and Williston went on to win, 20-7. The home team crowd never once let their team down, and this constant support did much to bolster the team's morale throughout the entire game. The day after Hurricane Hazel the Hotchkiss Bearcats travelled to Deerfield, Mass., to meet a strong and fast single-wing outfit. The Blue line, the strong point of the Williston team, proved to fumble to set up Hotchkiss' first touchdown. Six plays later Nuese plunged over from the eight-yard line, and Ardrey's conversion gave Hotchkiss a 7-O lead. Winston's passing and Erbe's running kept Hotchkiss on the offensive and Williston on the defensive for the majority of the first half. In the second half, however, a determined Willis- ton eleven sparked by Ide soon led Hotchkiss 13-7. Again the Hotchkiss offense began to click. Erbe and Gerli pierced the Williston line for short but steady gains, and the Winston to Ernst pass combination clicked repeatedly, good once be inadequate against the double-teaming foreward wall of the Deerfield eleven, and the defensive backfield of Stockwell, Neuese, O'Brien, Winston, and Warren were forced to stop the brunt of the Green attack, After a scoreless first quarter the Green received a good break and scored on a long punt returned by Ferrari, and at the end of the Hrst half held a 6-O lead. In the second half the Blue's offense could not get rolling and Hotchkiss was forced to kick. The Green took advantage of a partially blocked kick and scored shortly thereafter on a Ferrari pass up the middle. And making the conversion, Deerfield was ahead, 15-0. But shortly after the Green's second touchdown, Deerfield again in possession of the ball, alert tackle Bo Torrey charged through the Deerfield line and intercepted a Green lateral, racing forty- six yards for the Blue's only tally of the day. The rest of game was all Deerfield's, and the home team left the field with a 19-6 victory. During the following week a few changes in the lineup were made: jon O'Brien was put at quar- terback, Winston moving to halfback, and Gerli alternating with Neuese at fullback, Bush as of- fensive center. A large Fathers' Day crowd assem- bled at Baker Field on the following Saturday, Oct. 22, to see The eBarcats pitted against a power-packed Choate eleven. The Choate team, much like Williston, was sparked by two phe- nomenal halfbacks, and they employed a strange yet highly effective new defense-proving a hard task for quarterback O'Brien to penetrate. Again end runs and off-tackle smashes proved fatal for the Blue. By the end of the first half Wycoff of Choate had scored twice and they led, 14-O. The Blues passing was as ineffective as its running, and as a result, the ball was moved hardly at all, and Hotchkiss was constantly punting. In the sec- ond half, however, the Blue started to roll up steady gains. Murray tore open the Choate line for a first down on the Blue forty-one. Ryan skirted end for six yards, Winston for eight, and the O'Brien to Ernst cohmbination was good for two short but substantial gains. Choate then dug in and stopped foreward motion on their own seventeen yard line, but were unable to move the necessary ten yards, and kicked. Winston fumbled the punt return which led to the final Choate tally, and they left the field victorious by a score of 20-O. The following Saturday, Oct. 50, the Bearcats journied to Kent School in Kent, Conn., deter- mined to win their fourth game at any costs. A drizzling, overcast day greeted a Mothers' Day crowd of over 1,500 and a busload of 150 loyal rooters arrived from the Hill just before the kick- off to give the team added incentive, as if the 40-O defeat the year before was forgotten. After the opening kickoff, Kent drove to the Bearcat's twenty yard line and skirted the right end for their only touchdowng the conversion failed and Kent took a precarious lead, 6-O. From that point on, Kent never once got inside the Blues forty yard line. The boys in Blue and White received the kickoff and marched on a sustained drive to the Kent twenty-three, with Gerli and O'Brien chopping up the center for gains of not less than five yards a throw. But this magnificent drive was prematurely nullihed by an untimely fumble in the slippery turf. Kent, unable to make a dent in the unpene- trable armor of the Bearcat's foreward line, was forced to kick, and again the Blue and White drove deep into the opponents' territory, only to he stopped and forced to drop back and start over again. As the whistle ending the first half sounded, the Blue and White was left on the Kent seven, close but not yet a touchdown. The Blue received the second half kickoff, and a forty yard drive, made possible by a new offen- sive play inserted during halftime by Coach De- Lisser, was climaxed by an O'Brien to Ernst pass into the end zone, good for twenty yards and the first touchdown for Hotchkiss. Ardrey booted the first of two conversions for a 7-6 lead. Shortly afterwards the Blue received a long punt from deep inside Kent territory. Gus Winston gathered it in, swivelled past two would-be tacklers, and broke into open where Bush and Mead paved the touchdown road with key blocks at mid-held. Again the conversion was good, and Hotchkiss led I4-6. After Winston's seventy-seven yard run, all the starch went out of Kent, and they managed only once to edge into the forbidden territory. There a fumble recovered by Birch started the machinery rolling again, and as the final gun went off, the Blue and White was deep in Kent territory. This culminated in the first Hotchkiss victory in eleven games, aided and encouraged by a crowd of rooters and cheerleaders one-tenth the size of the Mothers' Day crowd. The last played game of the season on Nov. 6 at Baker Field was against a fairly strong Loomis team endowed with right arm of a passer supreme named Wilkinson. This lad from Utah and a half- back named Hallas made havoc out of the un- suspecting Hotchkiss eleven, utilizing a snappy passing attack to the utmost, and supplementing it with hard running. Add to this team a colossal tackle named Margolis, and you have the backbone of a rough and tough team, by all means a worthy opponent. The game started out with Winston of Hotchkiss receiving the opening kickoff, running 92 it back to the twenty-three line, and there being held. Loomis took over, and Wilkinson, reputed to be the best back in the East, took charge until the fourth quarter, throwing two touchdown passes and being instrumental in the other two. However, the Blue was not outfought. In the course of this game the tackling was the hardest and most con- centrated of all the previous games, with at least from two to four Bearcats on every ballcarrier when he was downed. An example of the vicious tackling and blocking is that four Loomis men were assisted or carried off the field, while Hotch- kiss suffered only one injury. In the fourth period, the Blue caught fire and nailed Loomis for a safety and two points, and after the ensuing kickoff, a series of drives and passes from Ardrey to Ernst netted Hotchkiss its only other score of the game, bringing the game to an end, Loomis on top, 27-8. A determined Hotchkiss squad reported to Baker Field the Monday following, determined to bring back a victory from Taft as a present for the members graduating, the coaches, and Captain Erbe, but much to everyones dismay, it was re- ported that polio had broken out at Watertown, and the game was cancelled. On the Saturday of the cancelled game, the squad travelled to New Haven to View the Princeton-Yale annual classic, thanks to the generosity of Yale's Director of Athletics and ex-coach of the Blue and White, DeLaney Kiphuth. On the following Monday two backfield men, quarterback jon O'Brien and fullback jay Gerli were appropriately elected co-captains of the 1955 football team. Coaches Bell, Stearns, and DeLisser are certain that these experienced co-captains will lead the 1955 football team as ably and as spirit- edly as did Captain Peter Erbe, and that those playing next year will play as hard and as un- selfishly as did the members of the Class of '55, To draw to a close a memorable if not entirely successful season, Captain Erbe said, With the bright future for the coming season ow twelve returning lettermen, I, in behalf of this year's Seniors, wish jon O'Brien, jay Gerli, and the whole squad the best of luck for the 1955 season. And those carrying on next year will be sure to uphold the honor and the spirit of the 1955 foot- ball team. HE club football season ended with the games of November 4. Hoyt stood first in the league with a four wins, one loss and one tie record. Baker was a close second with a record of four wins and two losses. Taylor and Monahan held the two bottom places in the league with two wins, three losses, and one tie, one win and five losses respectively.

Run by Buhl at quar- terback, sparked by the hard running of Bennett and Bull, and pulled out of trouble time and time again by the brilliant pass catching of Cal- houn at end, they won a close and well-deserved victory. The Baker team, coached by Mr. Berry, was large and powerful, but was lacking in speed and handicapped by injuries at crucial moments.

In third place, Mr. Kelloggs Monahan team played well, but were often outmanned by the other teams. Reeder and Day excelled among their teammates, but were unable to overcome the superior man-power which they often faced. Tay- lor, distinguished as usual by Mr. Bolmer's in- famous off-tackle play, reached their high point in the defeat of Baker which decided the club championship when Vander Veer and Craig Elliott carried the day, When the season had hnished, games were arranged for three of the clubs, in which Taylor was defeated by a team from Kent, Baker won from a team from Salisbury, and Hoyt was de- feated in a close game with a team from Berk- shire. Woody Squad INETEEN hundred hfty-four-fifty-tive was an active year for the Woocls Squad, and much rewarding work was accomplished, with a liberal sprinkling of cider-and-donut groupings presided over by Messrs. Van Santvoord and Stakely interspersed among the tasks. But just what did the squad accomplish during the three seasons of the year? The fall term husied the Woocls Squad with its most work of the year, and under the guidance of Messrs. Van Santvoord, Stakely, and Hall, a good deal was accomplished, The fall group was divided into two separate sub groups, one, the conserva- tion section Linder the able direction of Hall, which further pushed into the woods mapping all char- acteristics of the Hotchkiss acreage, and second, the Van Santvoord-Stakely group, which engaged in repair work on the hockey rinks. During a four-year plan the rinks are being completely renovated by replacing the back-boards with new fencing which is mounted upon new posts that are sunk into concrete footings, thus creating a sturdy and fungus resistant edging. Besides the renovation of the rinks, this group also prepared a new duck pond where the Hotchkiss water fowl collection could be placed during the Winter skating season. I Because of the comparatively mild winter and the subsequent lack of snow, the work of the winter group was made easier than usual. Under the hand of Messrs. Stearns, Stone, Hall, and Demeray, the task for this term consisted mainly of felling and splitting various trees in the wood lot to be used for fuel by the lucky masters who possess a fireplace. Armed with compasses and clip-boards, and the various implements that are used for measuring, the spring squad proceeded into the Hotchkiss woods to continue the survey work of the late Bradford Hall. Wlieii the news of the death of Mr. Hall reached the school, plans were imme- diately formed by the squad to continue his forest conservation and survey work during the spring term, The purpose of this work as expressed by Phillips, Keen, and Garrison, its major workers, was to locate what species should be removed to further the growth of more valuable families. Therefore, with this task, the 1953 Woocls Squad finished another worthwhile year of service to the school. lf! 4 IH Frozzl row. left Io righf-Hall, Lindley, O'Keefe, Rivera, Bronson.

School Soccer HE Hotchkiss soccer team this year was a most pleasant surprise. Not only did it compile a very respectable record, but it did so with very little game experience, lt was only through hard, persistent work, real team spirit, and the good coaching of Messrs. Miller and Bacon, however, that the team was abe to do so well. lts record was 4-2-1, and with a few breaks it could easily have been 6-1-1. By the time the first two games rolled around we were still in the process of putting the team together and were a little disorganized. In our first game which was against Kent we started out like a house afire. The forward line of Dan Harris, Troop Bergh, Tano Rivera fa Spanish exchange studentj, jim Trowbridge and Spook Bronson kept the ball in Kent territory for prac- tically all of the first quarter. Midway through this period Bronson dribbled down his wing through two men and scored the first goal of the 9 game. It was a dazzler. A few minutes later Kent was given a free kick and scored on it when goalie Pete Lindley thought that the referee had said the goal could not be scored direct and therefore let the ball go in the net. Near the end of the quarter Rivera put us back in the lead when he drilled one past the Kent goalie. The Blue continued to completely outclass their opponents for the first part of the next quarter, but to no avail. Success finally came when Rivera again scored, this time on a penalty kick. Although Kent began to penetrate our territory a little more in the latter part of the period, fullbacks Gunner Schull and john Kenrick thwarted their attacks and were able to preserve our 3-1 lead till half- time. When the second half started, the teams re- versed roles. For some unexplicable reason the Blue attack bogged down. Kent took advantage of this and began playing hard and determined soc- cer. After keeping the ball in our territory most of the period without scoring, Kent received a penalty kick when the ball accidentally touched Schull's hand. Kent scored on this when the ball was well placed away from Mangan, who replaced Lindley at the half. Although outplayed also for the rest of the quarter, we were able to ward off any more Kent goals in the quarter. In the fourth period our attack began to pick up a bit as we realized we had to start playing good soccer again in order to pull the game out. We could not score, however, and when we began to falter in spite of replacements, Kent raised havoc at our end. In a fast and furious struggle in front of our goal they were awarded another penalty kick and again converted it into a goal. This tied up the game, and the score remained 5-3 for the rest of the period and the ten minute over- time. The result was quite discouraging consider- ing the brilliant soccer we played in spots and that this was the first time that we had not beaten Kent. 5 1 AA? s aa Ruiz At Litchfield we did not play very well at any time. Even so we did work the ball well enough to defeat the High School 2-I. The first half was scoreless in spite of our domination of the play. In the second half we started off fast with Rivera, who had replaced john O'Keefe at center forward at half time, scoring a goal in the first few minutes. We scored again a little later when the ball bounced off the leg of one of Litchfields fullbacks into the net. Their right inside spoiled our shutout in the fourth quarter when he drilled one past Lindley. In the most bitterly contested game of the season Hotchkiss succumbed to Deerfield 4-I. The score, however, is no indication of the ability of the teams, but rather the great depth that Deer- field had over us. Their depth was the deciding factor of the game. For the first three quarters we gamely held them even, but in the fourth we tired badly, while they were able to keep their men fresh. In the first quarter Bronson, Trowbridge, Rivera, Bergh, and Harris passed and dribbled with such precision that the Deerfield confidence appeared shaken, Three minutes before the end of the pe- riod Troop Bergh, who had been playing bril- liantly on both offense and defense, scored and put us in the lead. We lost a little of our edge in the second pe- riod. and Deerfield scored when Mangan was forced to leave the goal in order to try to smother a loose ball. The score remained tied throughout the rest of the half and the third quarter, even though we were beginning to show our fatigue. In the last quarter Deerfield began to dominate the play and put us on the defensive. Time and again we rebuked their powerful attacks, but they were not to be denied. They finally scored with nine minutes left on a penalty kick which Pete Lindley, who replaced Ephie Mangan in the third period when his trick knee forced him to retire from the game. Deerheld then proceeded to tally twice more on corner kicks, on which the fresh opposing players were able to jump higher than we and skillfully head the ball into the net. Our next game was against the Williams fresh- men. The play was pretty sloppy at the start, but Williams was able to score on a penalty kick mid- way through the hrst quarter. john O'Keefe evened the score for the Blue just before the end of the period. In the second quarter the pace picked up a bit, but neither team was able to score, even though we were awarded a penalty kick. The second half started much like the hrst, but this time we scored first. Halfway through the l quarter O'Keefe again drilled one past the Fresh- men goalie. Williams then settled down and began outplaying the Blue. They were soon rewarded for the pressure they put on us with the tying goal. Soon after the start of the last quarter Bergh scored for the Blue by heading in a beautiful corner kick by Chris Bronson. Soon afterwards the same two duplicated this feat and sent Hotchkiss into a 4-2 lead. We then slacked off and permitted Williams to score another goal just before the whistle. In the team's fourth game in ten days it dis- played for the whole game the kind of soccer it had given a hint it was capable of playing against Kent and Deerfield and trounced Choate, 5 to 1. Incidentally, the Choaties were lucky to score at all. One reason for our success in this game was our great team spirit and teamwork. Although both teams started playing cautiously because of nervousness, john O'Keefe broke away at the nine-minute mark and tallied for the Blue. Hardly had the second period begun when he l .wr-e'M mi again scored, this time on a pass from Bronson. Tano Rivera shortly afterwards put us ahead 5-0 with a perfectly placed pivot shot to the left corner of the goal. There was no more scoring in the half. During the first part of the third period Choate showed a new determination. This lasted only half a period, however, for at that point Bergh scored from a scramble in front of the goal. Our last tally came two minutes before the end of the quarter when the ball was bounding to- wards an open Choate goal, and in a desperate effort to clear it over the goal a Choate man booted it into the upper section of the net for us. Late in the fourth period Choate scored its only goal. Although they threatened many times dur- ing the game, our goalie, Ephi Mangan, played sensationally and let only that one shot by Van- dentoorn past him. Cur next game was played in the mud and rain against Loomis, who according to Mr. Bacon had one of the best prep-school teams he has ever seen. Although we came close on several occa- sions, we could not quite score and were defeated, 5-0. Club HOYT limnf mir: lefl la rigbl4 O'Day, Lawson, Moore. Wfilliams.

We almost scored in the first quarter when the ball went in their cage. Unfortunately, however, one of our men was ruled to have touched their goalie before the ball went In our last game of the Berkshire, 2-1. In order to had to adopt a different style in. season we defeated do so, however, we of play. It was a very hard-fought game, in which the ball sometimes was overlooked if a shin was in sight. Berkshire scored midway through the first period and out- fought us for the first three quarters. In the fourth period, however, we decided that in order to win we would have to play their type of soccer, if you want to call it that. The Blue went all out and pressed Berkshire continually. The outlook appeared bleak, however, as the sec- onds were ticking by and we were not coming very close to scoring. Tano Rivera was then sent in, and this moved seemed to give the whole team a lift. He evened the score with four minutes left when he beautifully slipped the ball by their goalie. The game then went into overtime, and with two min- utes remaining Schull blooped the ball to Bergh who headed it into the cage for another Hotchkiss victory. We were supposed to play Taft, who had a weak team, but the game was cancelled because of polio at their school. A large part of the credit for the team's great success should be given to Buddy Wzltt, who was elected acting captain before the Deerfield game and very ably led the team in its remaining games. Congratulations to the whole team and best of luck to Shaun LaRoche, captain-elect, and the rest of next year's contingent, 3 W 1?

Edwards, and for many it gave three evenings of wonderful fun. Bucky Bush, Shaun La Roche, Leigh Ardrey, and Michael Porter did not make us yearn for the original play at all. The emphasis of the Hotchkiss performance was more heavily on farce than the original version must have been, but Bucky Bush, as the wily joseph, turned out an excellent per- formance, avoided all efforts to down him, in- cluding the sinister behavior of a rebellious Vene- tian blind and an errant section of mustache, and never once stepped out of bounds. His individu- ality was the high mark of his part. Pace and tim- ing are fundamental necessities in any comedy performance, and these Bush provided. There was never an uneasy moment with him on the stage. Shaun La Roche, as the quiet jules, and Leigh Ardrey, as Alfred and the other two convict angels who along with joseph solve the problems of the miserable Ducotel family with two most joyful murders, ran a wonderfully strong inter- ference for Zucky Bush. La Roche, the philosopher of the trio, played with a fine, dry authority, and Leigh Ardrey was properly and bloodthirstily ro- mantic. Michael Porter, as the villainous Henri Zrochard, gave the villainy its full flourish The audience had a taste of Hotchkiss girls with Courtney jones as the ingenue, Marie Louise, who made several full stage crosses which were not exceedingly feminine. Scott Bratton, as Mama Ducotel, was astonishingly realistic' in his female role. Peter Hunt, as Papa Ducotel, was a good scatter-brain, and Harry Parker had wonderful comedy acts as the third female. Timothy jecko and Woodrtiff Starkweather handled minor parts with the necessary dexterity. The set, which was the work of the entire asso- ciation led by Tim Hixon and jack Ford was a dream. The lighting, done by Russell Watt, was most effective. lt was a busy play property-wise and Allan Churchill deserves the credit for a well- done job. Mr. Edwards direction was imaginative, and, as usual, smoothly adjusted to deal with his specific problems. 104 M-1 ,K f 3 yjjgigggggzxh we , , A,:,., g .,,,: IE Zf'Ir' :F ' - wily AZ 4 'V' , M431 1 W A Q ?

',wi ll 1 A I 5 - I 'W 184 1 Fall Dance S the long awaited weekend in November arrived reportedly 47 girls from even as far south as the Carolinas and as far west as Grosse Pointe were to grace the hill as guests of the Seniors and a few select Upper Mids who had made a name for themselves on Baker liield dur- ing the Football Season. As the girls began to arrive it was easy to see that Mannion had had his usual luck in getting a blind date and possibly had the belle of the ball. Some said though that they would stay with Dick Russell's choice of a certain blond from Rye. As there are tragedies in all things even this dance had one. Mighty joe as we all know had just received the sequi treatment but wanted to see Hope bad enough that he had her come as the date of a certain jere and we don't mean the one with two n's. Well she decided to take up with ,Iere rather than joe, and often when he would call she left him holding a dead phone. This really hurt his ego. Mouldie was unable to come up with a date and as of Saturday at two was going 0 for 10, but upon venturing into the Halfway came up with two so that really gave him a lift. On Saturday afternoon there was a tea at the headmaster's and from there the couples went to a tea dance in the Reception room where Bruce Halprin and his trio presided. That night there was dancing in the dining room again with the music under the auspices of Mr. Halprin. Sunday some of the more ably bodied damselles made it to breakfast and then everyone enjoyed picnicking in the school woods immediately after chapel, It was the general consensus everyone had a great time and it took two weeks for life to return to normal on the Hill.

Since Captain Gus Winston was the only returning letterman, there were many positions to be filled. Seniors Watt, Lord, Friedman, and Calhoun alternated through- out the year with Upper Mids Wzxrren and Cap- tain-elect Ernst, a first year boy, in these positions. These seven lettermen, along with Edwin Blair, manager, composed the nucleus of a scluad that compiled a decent record of tive wins and eight losses. Hotchkiss was defeated in the first game of the season by a perennially strong Taft team, S9--16. We were unable to stop the fine shooting and rebounding of Taft's center, Malloy. The Blue out- scored Taft in the third quarter by 5 points but Could not keep it up in the fourth quarter and, Taft was going away when the buzzer sounded. Warren led the scoring with I0 points. A surprisingly strong Canterbury team handed the Blue its second defeat of the year. Canterbury took an early lead and kept it by very good shoot- ing and a fast-breaking offense that Hotchkiss could not stop. The score when the game was over stood 70-56, with the Blue on the short end. Calhoun was high-scorer with 18 points. Still looking for their first win of the season, Hotchkiss was soundly defeated 50-55 by Gun- nery. The lead passed back and forth between the two teams during the first half, which ended with the score at 25-22, Gunnery. Hotchkiss stopped functioning well, and Gunnery forged ahead. Cap- tain Winston led with 12 points. After three straight losses the Blue came from behind to beat Trinity-Pawling 51-45. The team was inspired by the fine rebounding of Captain Wiiistori and Ernst. Calhoun and Ernst were high scorers with 14 and 12 points respectively. Inspired by their previous win, Hotchkiss de- feated Berkshire 57-47. Hotchkiss took an early lead in the first half. The second half, despite the fine defensive play by Win Lord, Berkshire threatened our ten point lead with several rallies. The Blue caught fire in the last three minutes to regain their lead. Calhoun, with 18 points, and Friedman, with 14, led the scoring. In an attempt to even their record Hotchkiss lost a close, hard-fought game 57-55. With ten minutes left in the game Hotchkiss came from a 16 point deficit to tie the score. We were unable to hold Kent completely and they got the winning basket in the final seconds of the game. Gus Winston was high man for the Blue with 20 points. In the second game against Gunnery the Blue was trounced badly. The special defense designed to Stop their center was effective, but it did not stop the rest of their team from scoring. Our offense was not too edective against them either. Calhoun was high scorer with 14 points. In a non-league game against Cranwell Hotch- kiss had to come from behind again to win a well- played game, 56-53. For three and one half quar- ters the Blue put on a driving surge that Cranwell succumbed to. Tod Warren led this late rally and was high man with 14 points. A much-improved Berkshire team downed the Blue 56-52. Although Hotchkiss was able to tie the game up in the last minute, the scrappy Berk- shire team was able to go into the lead and stay there till the buzzer sounded. Calhoun was the high scorer with 17 points. A spirited Blue quintet, playing extremely well. downed Kent 65-57, to avenge an earlier defeat. A team of Winston, Watt, Lord, Friedman, and Calhoun completely outplayed Kent to gain a 25-16 lead in the first period. The lead dwindled with the substitutes playing in the second quarter, but it was again regained in the last half. Friedman -, K , 't -'iitfnga and Calhoun paced the Blue attack with 22 and 17 points respectively. A league-leading Taft team managed to top a much improved Hotchkiss five, 68-60, in a game that was even closer than the score implies. The Blue, though never leading after the first quarter, managed to play on even terms with Taft through- out the rest of the game. Taft, led by their center, man and Calhoun again led the Blue with 16 and 15 points respectively. Unfortunately the Hotchkiss team lost its last game to Canterbury, who beat Hotchkiss by its deadly fast break and excellent shooting from the outside. The third quarter proved disastrous when Canterbury pulled into the lead by twelve points. They were going away when the buzzer Malloy, was hard-pressed by a determined Blue team, but they kept their lead. Friedman and Win- ston led with 17 and 14 points respectively, In an effort to end the season with a winning streak the Hotchkiss five retained a tive point lead over Trinity-Pawling to win 54-49. In the last minutes T-P made a desperate rally, but an equally determined Hotchkiss beat down the rally. Fried- sounded, the score being S6-59. Friedman was high man with 10 points. Even the season was not the best possible, much praise should be awarded to Mr. Bolmer for his great assistance and to Captain Winston, whose line leadership was the best incentive to the team. We all tend our hopes for good luck to Captain- elect Ernst and the 1956 team! 114 , W., s , W ??l:'El. t 7 School Skim O review a season of potentially one of the best skiing teams Hotchkiss has ever seen would be extremely easy, but if such a team had no opportunity to show their prowess, it would prove to be almost impossible. That is the position of the skiing team of 1955. Witli strong men in all four fields of competition: downhill, slalom, cross-country, and jumping the outlook for this season was one of much promise, but because nature was unwilling to give us any amount of snow until April 5-of course this is during spring vacation when the baseball season is ready to beginfthe team was able to participate in only two meets. In a triangular meet held at Berkshire, Hotch- kiss came up with a substantial victory by scoring 187 points to I79 for Berkshire and 165 for Taft. The downhill took place on Berkshires very nar- row and treacherous downhill course, the slalom on a very sporty ridge-run. ln the downhill Peter Ryan took first with a near record-breaking time of 63 seconds, and .5 seconds behind him t'ZlIUC Capt. Peter lfrbe. Rounding out the field for Hotchkiss Smetana, Day, and Russell finished fifth, seventh, and eighth respectively, high enough to win the downhill. In the slalom Hotchkiss lost its dominance of the first two places, for Ryan came in third behind Collins of Berkshire, however, Erbe captured the first spot with a fine run of 49 seconds. Witli Corby Day taking fifth, Smetana seventh, Russell eighth, the Hotchkiss team showed that it had as much depth as first run winners. On February 22, competing in the USEASA junior jumping and X-Country Championships Hotchkiss proved that it was as strong in the Nordic events as it had been in downhill and slalom. Peter Ryan in his own age group took -ith in jumping, a 5rd in X-Country, and a fine third in the combined. Smetana the only other jumping competitor-Erbe and Russell having graduated from the junior Circles--came in eighth, he was also thirteenth in the X-Country. john Barrett, jerry Churchill, Allan Benton, and Peter Sheldon also finished well in the X'Country competition. The season was a sparse one even with the numerous time trials held under the scrupulous eye of Mr. Miller. For next season it is almost more appropriate to wish Captain-elect john Bar- rett' a great deal of snow than to wish him good luck, for the team with a little help from nature should have a very successful season.

Ryan, ?t SEL -l2h School Hockey HE 1955 hockey team showed itself as a spirited and hard fighting squad by its per- formance at the Lake Placid Tournament and the overall record, which was quite an improvement over last year. Once again the weather was a major factor in determining the outcome of the season: although the schools with artihcial rinks got a head start, the team managed to keep pace because of the successful winter. This year's starting lineup consisted of Dean Brown, left wing, john Boyden, centerg Dave Bramhall, right wingg Bill Barnett and Dave Wierdsma at defense. Bo Torrey and john O'Keefe spelled each other in the goal while jon O'Brien alternated with Barnett at defense. Christmas vacation saw a memorable event take place as the hockey team journeyed to Lake Placid to enter a tournament at the Northwood School, where they were highly successful. Although they were defeated in the first round by St. Sebastion, the eventual finalists of the tournament, the team went on to win the Consolation Trophy by beating Brooks and Trinity-Pawling. On Saturday, january 12 the Blue Hockey team travelled to Westminster where they won a well contested game 2-1. Bill Barnett was the first one to break the ice and netted a good shot from the blue line late in the first period. Dean Brown tallied on a break away in the second period and the Blue defense paced by Capt. Wierdsma kept the pressure on until the end of the game. The following Wednesday found the Blue play- ing host to a spirited Kent squad. The first goal of the game came on a low shot by Dean Brown which bounced by the Kent goalie, and minutes later jim Trowbridge slapped one in to make the score 2-0. Early in the next period jim joy scored on a pass from Trowbridge, but the Blue were goal hungry and Capt. Dave Wierdsma fired a fourth goal in from the Blue line. Kent was not to be beaten so easily and they retaliated by slip- ping two quickies past O'Keefe, and as the game ended, the final score was 5-2. january 22 saw Hotchkiss battle to a 2-2 tie with a determined Berkshire squad. In the first two periods both the teams threatened several times, but no one scored until the final period. With only four minutes gone Berkshire scored and seconds later Dave Bramhall tied it up. Tom Boy- den tallied and the Blue Went ahead only to have the game tied up by a fighting Berkshire team: in the over time which followed neither team managed to score and the contest ended in a tie. On Saturday, january 28, the Hotchkiss sextet overpowered a fighting Gunnery team here at school. The Blue completely dominated all three periods. Dave Birch tallied the first goal on a break away in the first period. Shortly after, Birch scored again on a pass from defenseman jon O'Brien. The Blue kept the pressure on, and late in the same period jim joy scored unassisted to make the score 3-O. Dave Bramhall and Tom Boyden continued the rout as they both scored in the closing minutes of the last period to make the final score 5-0. The Blue sextet played one of the most thrilling games of the season on February 2 when they played host to a vengeful South Kent team. The game got off to a fast start as jim Trowbridge lla: netted the puck and then again in the second pe- riod he stole the puck and scored on a break- away. Minutes after the face-off the opposition had taken the lead and the score was 3-2. The sur- prised Blue squad fought back, and Nuese slapped the puck in from in front of the netg late in the final period john Boyden recovered the puck. faked out the South Kent goalie, and tallied to make the final score 4-5. In an attempt to win the Housatonic Hockey League on Saturday, February i, the Blue sextet went down in defeat to an overpowering Taft team 7-2 at Taft. The score was l-l at the end of the initial period, as Boyden scored on an assist from 'Ion O'Brien and Voss scored for Taft un- assisted. In the next period goalie O'Keefe stopped a barrage of shots. but Taft managed to score several times to make the score 3-l. Boyden tallied again, but to no avail as Taft won 7-2, scoring 2 more goals in the last period. The following Vlfednesday history repeated if- self as the Blue squeezed by a fighting Trinity- Pawling squad just as they had done in the tourna- ment 2-l. This game proved to be one of the most exciting played thus far. Hotchkiss jumped to an early lead in the second period. after an evenly matched first session. on an unassisted goal by Dave Birch, then midway in the last period john Boyden tallied for the Blue to put the game on ice. The next Saturday the Blue squad was over- powered by Choate. The first period was scoreless. and it was not until the second session that the Choate squad showed some life by scoring four goals to make the final count -i-0. Wednesdziy' the 16 found the sextet up against a well organized Wfilliams squad, and even though Bo Torrey played exceedingly well the lfrosh won the game 5-0. The last game of the season was played at Taft on the 26th of February. Dave Bramhall scored for the Blue early in the first period, but the tal- ented Tafties retaliated by promptly scoring 5 goals, Trowbridge scored the other Hotchkiss goal, and the game ended with Taft winning 9-2. Thus the team compiled a record of 6 wins, -4 loses, and I tie for the whole season. Much praise should be given Messrs. Bates and Large for the invaluable assistance that they gave the teams and to Captain Dave Wfierdsma whose spirit and fine play were an incentive to the team. The best of luck is wished to Captain-elett jim Trowbridge and to the 1956 team.

The 1955 season turned out to be a stellar one, but the team's success was not without a great deal of hard work. Wfhoever said that a bigger pool would mean shorter and easier practices was badly mistaken. The most outstanding quality of this team, though, was the spirit that it showed from beginning to end of the season. The team's first meet was against a strong Army squad at West Point. This meet was an excellent proving ground for the team. Three records were toppled, thus giving us a preview of what the season would bring. Tim jecko hauled in two of them, one in the 200 yard freestyle at 2:0l.Z and the other in the 100 yard at 54.9. Paul Wfachen- dorfer set a new record in the 100 yard breast- stroke of 1106.5 and also won the 150 yard in- dividual medley in 11585. Other outstanding per- formances were I.ittle's and Tracy's second and third in the 50 yard freestyle, Hixon's first in the diving, Terbell's third in the 200 yard freeftyle, and the 200 yard relay team's meet- winning time ,., , g,... ot 1:59 5 giving us the meet -15-57 The second meet of the year found Hotchkiss up against a heavily favored Willistoxa contingent. The team did an outstanding job in taking the meet down to the final relay. Tim 'Iecko was the spectacular performer of the afternoon. He set two school records, one of 2:00.9 in the 200 yard freestyle and the other of 136.0 in the 150 yard individual medley, the latter taken from teammate Paul Wfachendorfer. Little did an out- standing job in taking second in the 50 yard free- style while Paul Wfachendorfer won the 100 yard breaststroke and placed second in the 150 yard individual medley. Other outstanding perform- ances were Catons third in the batkstroke, Hixon's first in the diving, and Terbell's third in the free- style. Going into the last relay, Willistoii was ahead, 37-31. Hotchkiss placed its hopes on Little, Mannion, Gibbs, and Tracy, but Willisto1i's 135.9 was too fast for them, making the final score 44-51. On February 9, Hotchkiss, hampered by the loss of Paul XVachendorfer, swam against the Wil- liams freshmen in the first official meet in the new pool. The outstanding event even of this meet was the 200 yard freestyle in which Tim ,Iecko set a new school, pool, and Trinity Association Kzzeelizzg, lefl 10 right-Vfachendorfer, Ford, Little, Mannion fCaptainj, Lowry, Cary.

Gibbs placed second in this event. Lowry, of Hotchkiss, took a third in the breaststroke while Ford and Eaton took first and third in the back- stroke. Terbell and Captain Bill Mannion scored a second and a third in the 100 yard freestyle while Hixon won the diving with 55.48 points. jecko and Bissell took first and third in the 150 yard individual medley, but the medley relay team wasnt strong enough to clinch the meet. A relay team of Little, Mannion, Gibbs, and Tracy was, though, and the final score stood at 42-33 in favor of Hotchkiss. The biggest thrill in the Yale freshmen meet was Tim jecko's pool and school record-breaking time of 52.6 in the 100 yard freestyle. Four events earlier he had won the 200 yard freestyle in 1:59.7. Another high point in this meet was Yale's Hutchins0n's fabulous diving score of 82.01 points, with joe Hixon taking a third in this event. Yale also took first and second in the 50 yard freestyle, individual medley, 100 yard back- stroke, and 100 yard breaststroke Cwith Little, Bissell, Ford, and Lowry taking thirdsj. The 100 yard freestyle relay was won by Little, Mannion, Gibbs, and Tracy, making the final score 53-22. On February 18, Hotchkiss defeated Canterbury 47-28. This meet acted as a tune-up for the Deer- field meet the following week. Paul Waclieiidorfer did an outstanding job by winning the 100 yard breaststroke in 1:05.9, a new school record. A medley relay team of Eaton, Wachendorfer, and jecko turned in a very impressive time of 1:22.5 but was disqualified. Other winners were Gibbs in the 200, Bissell in the individual, and Ford in the backstroke. The big day arrived on February 26th and everybody had been awaiting it since the teazzi held its first official practice. On paper the Bear- cats were the underdogs, but everyone was hoping to make this our 10th consecutive victory over Deerfield. In the first event, the 50 yard freestyle, Tracy took a second, losing to O'Donnell of Deerfield in 211.8 seconds. Next, Paul Wfachendorfer won the breaststroke with a phenomenal time of l :02.9, setting a new school, pool and meet record. In the 200 yard freestyle jecko set a new meet record of 1:59.-4, followed by Deerfield's Gibbon and Gibbs of Hotchkiss. ln a very close race Deerfield took first and second in the backstroke, followed by Ford and Eaton. Things looked very grim at this point, but, due to a disqualification, Terbell and Mannion took first and second in the 100 yard freestyle in 56.6. The Blue had another break when joe Hixon placed second in the diving, beating jenkins, Deerfields pride, Vffachendorfer won the individual medley, setting a new meet record of l:56.6. Deerfield's medley relay team then set a new meet record, beating Eaton, Lowry and Ryan in 1:23.8. Going into the final relay Deerfield was ahead 57-31. A relay team of Little, Tracy, Mannion, and jecko ended the meet with one of the most exciting races of the season, win- ning in l:57.2, a new pool, meet, and school record. The final score was identical to last year's -Hotchkiss 58, Deerfield 37. The following week Hotchkiss finished the sea- son by placing second in the Trinity Champion- ships with 48 points, losing to Willistoli with 67. jevko excelled for the Blue, winning the 100 and 200 yard freestyle in 541.5 and 2:02.8. Paul Wfach- endorfer also did a good job, placing second in the individual medley and winning the breast- stroke in l:03.2. The 200 yard freestyle relay team of Little, Tracy, Mannion and Burbank placed second for Hotchkiss while the medley re- lay team, due to a missed turn, placed fourth. Other good performances were Gibb's third in the 200, Tracy's fourth in the 50, and Fords and lfaton's third and fourth in the backstroke. This season could never have been the success it was except for the untiring efforts of Olson, Stakely and Brooks, Mr. Olson's chalk talks and the numerous lemon-squashes and feeds given by their wives. Next year we wish the best of luck to the coaches and Captain-elect Paul Wacsheiidorfer for a terrific season and another Deerfield win. a, WM' 1 ical!

Q W , az iam, Q ink 39 gf' Q Mid- Winter Dance HE long awaited week-end of February 19 arrived on the Hill with forty girls con- descending to attend. Last minute cancellations included Godfrey's Wally who unfortunately broke her nose the day before. Hixon and his so-called reception committee spent the major part of Satur- day meeting trains in remote places in the hopes of finding Larsen's date as he couldnt quite re- member what train she was arriving on. The majority of the girls arrived in the morn- ing and thus were able to catch a glimpse of Fifzifzfzh' Rnizzbou' that afternoon. After the play everyone assembled at the headmasters for tea and from there to a tea dance in the Reception Room at which Bob Halprin and his trio played. Among the many notable stags attending was jere the boy with two H's trying to take up Murray's routine. At eight thirty the dance began and by nine almost everyone was there. The dining room was beautifully decorated by Pete Erbe with the usual flowers, etc. Bob Halprin again presided and played continuously until twelve except for at brief intermission at ten thirty when everyone CMoulton excludedj went to the headmasters and the Blue Notes entertained. As Sunday morning dawned the early departures readied themselves and at ten thirty Hixon's South- ern Belle left . . . taking with her the list and afterwards the Hill quieted down somewhat. Gun- ner and jim after a long talk with Mr. Kellogg took the Dana Hall crew to Hartford, while every- one else took to the woods for a picnic excluding Paul who thought the view from the ski jump was more enhancing. At three the remainder, or should we say the majority departed for Millerton and Caanan to catch buses and trains. Hall found himself a slight bit tardy but luckily the green Cheevy from Alumni made the trip to Millerton in record time. The week ended with Erb and Corby arriving at the dining room just in time for dessert. Forunately the next day was declared a holiday to recooperate. The Tragedy of mgedzer WENTY years ago, under the guidance and inspiration of the Headmaster, the Faculty Players were launched on an unsus- pecting school to brighten the tag end of winter term, Since that auspicious debut Faculty Plays have come regularly every Leap Year, and each generation of Hotchkiss boys has looked forward to the heralded appearances. With the announcement of Mr. Van Sant- voord's retirement this year the company girt for the fray one year early, and as a final tribute to histrionic history revived the very vehicle which had first been presented, Fieldings Tragedy of 'I il'1IgU6l'fL'.Y. Faculty plays are always fun, but this particular play is a natural. With GVS recreating Dollallolla and Mr. Gurney, Lord Grizzle, the new generation gave Fielding a veritable super-jet production. And they were fortunate indeed to have in the Prep class young Dan O'Day, as heroic a Tom Thumb as ever tread the boards. This diminutive Tom was epic in every way, and whenever he met Dollallolla or Huncamunca Beaumont or Gurney Grizzle, the show became memorable indeed. Young Tom stole the show without ever trying. Many scenes from this performance will remain long with us: Mr. Demarest's magnificent overture and love songg the wooing of Huncamunca by Grizzleg the Misses Fowle and Miller's soothing of Hunca in songg the Giant Queen's confusion, horror, murder, guts, and death, the magnificent Myrmidons who comprised Griz- zle's armyg Kellogg's Merlin and the lyrical ballad of Tom's un- usual birthg Hawkins Arthur's sustained rage at his Queens un- steadinessg GPM's eerie midnight visitation, Mr. Stearns' vociferous Bailiff and his Bodelian followerg the Bowen courtly tale of Tom's endg Grizzle's dying soliloquy, and that final tragic loading of the stage. Never have the antecedents of Fielding's dialogue been given more careful delineation, and the Bard of Avon himself should have been delighted. The new and entirely original dialogue deserves some mention- the Jaguars of Loveg the end of all Excuse Officers in the landg justices Gurney and WLlgllCfiS marriage martsg the Censure bureaug the Vassar vs. the Emma Willilrcl Prom girl, Russ Wiitt and the dining-room procedures, the soliloquies which suddenly ranged from the Poetique shore all the way to South Dakota or even the Upper Middle English theme! Excess of joy, my Lord, l've heard folks say gives tears as cer- tain as excess of grief. The truth of this was evident to the village and school communities as they watched the final appearance of the Bernhardt of the Faculty Players. for as the curtain came down for the final time, there was indeed excess of joy and grief in the audiences on WCdUCSCl1ly' and Thursday nights. The Faculty then scoured the earth to find the two earliest editions of Tom Thumb which they bound with the programs of the two Faculty produc- tions and presented to Mr. Van Santvoord as a token of their great affection and esteem.

Sparked by the .315 hitting of Captain Dick Russell and the often brilliant pitching of Harvey Friedman, the varsity often realized its potential, but mediocre play, especially in the inheld, often made itself felt in the lost column. It was a team composed in good part of members of the Lower Classes, since the regular catcher, entire infield, and one outfielder who won his letter were either Upper-or Lower-Mids. This balance should provide good material for another Year. It is also worth noting that they played a longer schedule of fifteen games instead of twelve, and a harder schedule which included two college freshman teams and strong high school teams. In League competition they came through with victories over Choate, Taft and Gun- nery, while losing to Loomis and Kent. The string of victories over our respected rivals at Taft has now extended through five years, a record unequalled in any other competition with them. Possibly because of their comparative youth and inexperience, the poor fielding which lost several games can be explained. It put an undue strain on the pitching department, which other- wise would have been adequately handled. Al- though the batting averages were low in the early games, improvement was to be noted later. Cap- tain Dick Russell was outstanding in all games as an outfielder, and pitched well when neces- sary. His batting average won him the Saunders Cup at Commencement. Harvey Friedman, a vet- eran southpaw of several years' experience, was not only a winning pitcher, but also won the Wilc'ox Prize for leader in runs batted in-the all-important R. B. l. factor. Although these two seniors were the mainstays, two other members of the class were also essential. Bodman, with heavy hitting in some games, and Erbe, with his spirited and aggressive base-running carried them through some critical games. The season opened on April lith with a game with Arlington High School, In that game the Blue nine was characterized by a lack of timely hitting and an abundance of errors. lt was for these reasons that the Blue bowed to Arlington, 4 to 2. On April 20th the varsity defeated Cran- well by a score of 3 to 2. As in the first game, there was again a profusion of errors-four for Hotchkiss and three for Cranwell. On April 23rd the Blue jorneyed to New Haven to play the Yale Freshmen, whose pitcher was none other than Bill Gillespie. Bill showed no mercy for his former teammates, and allowed only one run on three hits, The Yale Freshmen at the same time tapped pitchers Friedman and Sloan for ten runs and six hits. Back at the hill, the Blue met Berkshire on April 28th, handing them a 4 to 3 defeat. The hitting of the varsity was improving, however, and they got seven hits off pitcher Berman. Only two days later they traveled to Washington, Connecticut, where they handed Gunnery a 13 to 6 drubbing. Aided by the short right field, both Bodman and Russell clouted home-runs. Friedman's pitching held up well, and he allowed only six hits, struck out four and walked four. Hotchkiss' first inning was the most successful inning of the year, in which eleven men came to bat, four hits were belted, and seven runs scored. were defeated by a very strong team from Re- gional High School. The Blue got six hits, but was able to score only three runs, leaving eleven men stranded on the bases. At the same time Regional got nine hits and scored seven runs. At this time the team faced one of the best school- boy pitchers they had seen. On May 11th the Blue handed Kent a 5 to 4 defeat at Kent. In this game both teams were allowed six hits, Hotchkiss committed six errors and Kent four. On May 14th Hotchkis met an excellent Loomis team, and were defeated 15 to 9, despite the strong hitting of Bose and Russell and six errors by Loomis. Loomis was able to get sixteen hits off Russell and Friedman and left seven men on On May 4th, however, at Lakeville, the Blue blew the game with the Williams Freshmen. Until the top of the sixth inning, Hotchkiss was leading Williams 5 to 3, but in the succeeding innings everything went wrong. Williams scored ten runs in three innings, sparked by a home-run by Iverson. Only two of the thirteen runs scored by the Frosh were earned, and Hotchkiss committed twelve errors, all of them in the infield. The Blue regained its form at Taft on May 7th, handing a strong Taft team a 4 to 2 defeat before a dance week-end crowd. Friedman pitched his best game of the season, and his faultless control and speed kept the Taft batters well under control. As he struck out nine men and gave only four hits and one walk, the Hotchkiss team got seven hits and made only three errors. On May 9th we the bases, while the Blue got twelve hits and left ten men stranded. Loomis scored three runs an inning during the first five innings, and al- though the Blue knocked their best pitcher out of the box, the handicap was too much to over- come. On May 16th the team journeyed to Pough- keepsie to avenge their earlier defeat at the hands of Arlington. Behind the pitching of Sloan and Friedman, and Harvey's fine hitting, they were successful. Hotchkiss got only seven hits, but left very few men on base. Arlington left more men on base, and committed more errors while get- ting eight hits. Trinity-Pawling defeated the Blue on May 18th to the tune of 13 to 10. Behind the four hit pitching of Rose, Pawling got ten hits and com- mitted only four errors. On the other hand, Hotch- kiss, in spite of good and timely hitting by Rus- sell and Lindley, got only four hits and com- mitted eight errors. On May 20th we fared better against a strong Choate team, and came from behind to win 6 to 3. Pitcher Friedman allowed only seven hits and struck out seven men. He also took the batting honors for the day with three timely hits, two of which resulted in runs. In this game the Blue again showed its potential power and skill, getting eight hits, including two triples, and committed only three errors. On May 25th we played Regional again at Falls Village in an effort to avenge the defeat of earlier in the season. The elements were not cooperative, and the game was called after one inning because of rain. The following day, under clear skies, Hotchkiss was successful in defeating Regional, 6 to 3. Russell pitched the whole game, striking out four, allowing seven hits, and no walks. At the same time, behind the hitting of Erbe, Lindley, and Slugger Torrey, Hotchkiss came up with ten hits and performed the here- tofore impossible and still incredible feat of playing errorless ball. On May 28th the Blue nine played the final game of the season against Kent. The Blue scored five runs in the first two innings, and led 5 to 2, but they were unable to stand this prosperity, committed numerous errors, and let Kent score two runs in the fifth and four runs in the seventh to win the game. Thus, the season ended on a rather unhappy note, but it is not a true reflection of the season as a whole. From the first practice, held on the black-top back of the athletic buildings, to the last, the team under the expert coaching of Messrs. Gurney and Stearns, with able help from Mr. Bacon, showed steady improvement, with the under-class infield getting better in every game. The Blue can look towards the 1956 season with hope and confidence. The infield will be intact and several promising outfielders will have more experience as a result of their play this year. Nick Sloan promises to become a fine pitcher, and a great many of the starting assignments will fall on his shoulders during the coming spring. So, with able coaches and an experienced team, we can expect an excellent and perhaps league- leading varsity in 1956. 5619001 Gay match against Lakeville and won an encouraging victory, 10-8. On April 50, however, the squad journeyed to New Haven and was soundly beaten by an experienced Yale Freshman team 7-0. The loss was not altogether disheartening because all the matches were close, and Swicegood and Murray both lost on the 19th hole. The team bounced back, however, and on the following week de- feated the Williains Freshmen 5V2-SVZ. O'Keefe, Wyckoff, and Noyes won matches for the Blue, and the team was able to win ZVZ out of 3 best ball points and assure victory. The team then pro- ceeded to vanquish a weak N. Y. M. A. team 7-2. HEN the 1955 golf season opened, there were high hopes for a successful record. The squad consisted of nearly twenty golfers in- cluding four lettermen, and everyone expected keen competition to produce an experienced and spirited team. Captain Dave Patterson, Bill Butler, John Barrett, and Nick Noyes were the returning lettermen and were the nucleus of the squad. In addition, the team had to depend heavily on re- turning members of last year's squad, which con- sisted of Bill Roper, Clint Wyckoff, Bob Murray, Colin Gardner, and Howie Bissell. Harry Swice- good, a new Senior, and john O'Keefe, a con- verted baseball player also were to provide the added support. The team began their season with a practice Everyone won their matches except Wycrkoff who was beaten by a sizzling 34 on the back nine by his opponent. The squad then met the Lakeville team again and squeezed out a IOVZ-SVZ victory. Three days later the team journeyed to Taft where they were beaten 5V2-5V2. Captain Patterson won his first match handily 8 and 6, Butler finally hit his stride with a 5 and 4 victory, and Barrett also won, but the team was unable to win the best ball matches. Once again the team recovered and gave Cheshire a sound 6-1 defeat on the latter's course, and most of the players won their matches with con- siderable ease. Then in struggle the Blue suc- cumbed to Choate 5-2. Again the team played on the opponents course, and Butler and Barrett were the only victors. In the final match the team had their revenge on Taft and soundly trounced their rivals 6-l. The final victory gave the team a -4-5 record and two ad- ditional victories in practice contests with Lakeville. O'Keefe, Barrett, Butler, Patterson fCaptainJ, Wyckmvff, Noyes.

Carrying nine matches on the schedule, the largest in many years, the team wound up with a 4-4 record with one match at Kent being rained out. Avenging a loss to Trinity-Pawling the year before the team pulled out a creditable 5-4 victory, with Capt. Ardrey defeating Hunt 3-6, 6-5, 6-4 and the number 2 doubles team Buhl and Schull applying the clincher. The match with a strong Deerfield contingent proved somewhat disastrous with Capt. Ardrey pummelling his opponent Simmins 1-6, 6-1, 6-0 for the only victory of the day. Despite this bad defeat the team gained a great deal of experience and swept through its next three matches with Westminster, Wesleyan '58, and Taft by the scores of 8-1, 9-O, and 8-1 re- spectively. Riding the crest of a three game winning streak the team lost its second of the season at the hands of the Williams frosh by the score of 6-3. Capt. Ardrey, LaRoche, and Lord won their singles and if the No. 1 doubles team of Ardrey and Boyden had won their three set match, along with Det- weiler, the outcome could have been a Hotchkiss victory. Choate invaded the Hill the following week to defeat the team in a relatively one sided match. Capt. Ardrey losing his first match of the season in a close three set match, with Angle Eddie Blair in a close one after playing fine tennis. Capt. Ardrey and Boyden won the only match of the day with a three set victory over Choate's No. 1 team. With the team's match with Kent rained out, and thus a sure victory washed down the drain both literally and figuratively. The team met Loomis for the last match of the season which would determine the winner of the league. La- Roche, Lord, and Capt.-Elect Yamin all won their singles with Capt. Ardrey losing a close match to T. Richardson the No. 1 player in New England, 6-O, 3-6, 6-2. The season thus ended with a 4-4 record is indeed fine considering the stiff competition and schedule, Capt. Ardrey won the school tournament 6-Og 6-3 over Capt.-Elect Yamin, with none of the seeded players, including LaRoche and Blair, be- ing upset.

School Tmcfe HE 1955 Track team had a highly successful season, although the 2-3 record and a third in the Pentagonals might indicate otherwise. The team started off the season by losing at the hands of powerful Loomis and Choate teams, and then went on to take two easy victories from Berk- shire and Taft. The final meet with the Williams Freshman was a heart-breaker, when Hotchkiss was edged out in the final relay. The Pentagonals started out as a great surprise when we paved the way for the first half, only to be edged out by Loomis and Choate, and thus finish third ahead of Berkshire and Taft. Throughout the whole season Captain Kim Nuese ably handled the sprints especially against Berkshire and Taft where he scored two double victories in the 100 and 220 yard dashes. At Taft he did his best times of the season in these events which were 10.5 and 23.1 respectively. Moreover, he finished up the season with a respectable fourth in the Pentags against very stiff competition. Ben- net, Tracy, and Floyd doubled with Nuese in the sprints and steadily improved to be promising sprint men for the coming year. Nuese also han- dled the polevault along with Betancourt and Northrop, taking first against Williams and Choate and second to Idler and Healy of Taft and Loomis. Toby Terrell and jeff Herweg did a fine job all year long in the low hurdles. Terrell was a con- sistent winner and finished the season up by taking a well earned first in the 220 lows with an excel- lent time of 25.7. Herweg also ran the 120' yard high hurdles with Dave Northrop and, although he was hampered throughout the whole season with a pulled leg muscle, he did, nevertheless, manage to take firsts at both Taft and Loomis. Chris Larsen and jack Heim scored many valu- able points for the Blue in the 440. Larsen took firsts at Choate, Berkshire, and Taft, a close second in the Williams meet, and finished up the year with a fourth in the Pentagonals in his best time of 55.4. Captain-elect Tony Peck and Paul Wachen- dorfer, the hard working distance men dominated the mile and the 880 throughout the season. Wachendorfer was a consistent winner in these events being only beaten by Poole of Choate in the 880 and one other boy from Williams. He was well rewarded for this hard work by shatter- ing the Pentagonal mile record at Choate in the excellent time of 4.39.8. Peck, moreover, finished up the season with a fine record of three seconds and a third. George Piroumoff, whose leg had not fully recovered from a serious accident in soccer, was greatly missed by the whole team as he had been most valuable to last yearis Track team. Dave Jones, much improved over last year, also scored some much needed points. The Blue relay team, composed of Nuese, Heim, Bennet, Tracy, and Larsen suffered a couple of bad breaks against Loomis and Williams. Losing also to Taft and Berkshire, it managed to capture a close victory from Choate, and a third in the Pentagonals with a time of 1.36 behind Choate and Berkshire. In the shot, discus, and javelin Fred Ernst and Bill Garland consistently scored points for the Blue. In almost every meet Ernst scored firsts rin- ishing up the year by winning the shot and placing second in the discus in the Pentags with the excel- lent tosses of 47V9 and 119'11 respectively. Ernst was the teamls most valuable member as he scored over fifty points for Hotchkiss throughout the year. In the hammer, Welles and Glover monopolized Front row, left to right-Glover, Northrop, Tracy, Wachendrmrfer, Herweg, Mannion, Piroumoff, Nuese fCaptainJ, Terrell, Larsen, Winston, jones, Aymar, Garland, Leisenring, Bennett. Second row-Lyman, Heim, Levin, McCormick, Floyd, Peck, Rising, Ernst, Walls, Bentley, jaleski, Watt, Ross, Betancourt, Burbank, Massengill, Ranney. the event and scored tirsts and seconds in every meet save Berkshire. Welles, an upper-mid, got off his best throw of the year against Berkshire with 171f8, just nine feet off the school record. Both these boys are returning next year and undoubt- edly will prove extremely valuable to the '56 track team. Gus Winston and john Aymar helped the Blue score many a valuable point throughout the season in the broad jump, After a weak start in the Loomis meet, Winston came back to sweep almost every other meet with consistent iirsts. His illness at the time of the Pentagonals proved to be a great loss to the Blue, since the winning jump there was considerably less than his usual 20 feet. Al Leisenring and john Burbank also proved to be great assets to the team, although they met tough competition against Healey of Loomis and Idler of Taft. Leisenring improved consistently in the high jump finishing up the year with a commendable jump of 5'7 at the Pentagonals. The Blue opened their season with a loss of 80-51 at the hands of a strong Loomis team, paced by the outstanding performances of Healey and Margolis. john Welles was the only winner for the Blue in the held events taking a first in the ham- mer with a throw of 16l'. Terrell and Herweg won the low and high hurdles respectively, while Wachendorfer won the mile to win our only lirsts in the running events. The following week, in the most exciting meet of the season, Choate's depth proved too much for the Blue as they lost 692 to GIM. Outstand- ing performances for us were turned in by Ter- rell, Larsen, and Ernst, who won the low hurdles, 440, and discus respectively. Welles and Leisen- ring won the hammer and the high jump, while Nuese took the pole vault and a third in the 220. The Blue relay team edged Choate to take seven firsts to Choates eight. The Berkshire meet proved a swamp for Hotch- kiss as they won by the score of 84-47, taking hrsts in ten of the fifteen events, and making a clean sweep in the mile, 880, and pole vault. Paul Wachendorfer, Kifti Nuese, and Fred Ernst each won two events for the Blue to pile up thirty points among themselves. The five running events were all won by Hotchkiss, the field events being split. The Taft meet, too, was an easy victory for the Blue who took eleven hrsts, despite the fine performances of Taft's Idler. Kifh Nuese was a double winner in the 100 and 220, while Fred Ernst won the shot, discus, and javelin. Herweg and Terrell won the high and low hurdles, Larsen and Wfachendorfer taking lirsts in the 440 and mile respectively, Hank Glover won the hammer to give us a score of 80-il. The Vifilliams meet, the most heart-breaking loss of the 'ii season, was thought at first to be an unequal match. However, after Hotchkiss won the pole vault, high jump, and low hurdles, Williarns began to realize the strength of their opponents. XY!achendorfer's first in the mile and second in the 880 considerably improved the Blue's chances and with Larsen's second in the 4310, we led by a slim margin going into the final relay, which ended in a much disputed dead heat to give Williaihs the meet. The Pentagonals at Choate proved to be a great struggle against a formidable Choate team and a much improved Loomis squad. However, the Blue started off exceptionally well with Ernst winning the shot and Glover and Welles placing second and third in the hammer. Wfachendorfer pushed Hotchkiss further into the lead with his record breaking time in the mile, while Tony Peck tin- ished fourth, as he did in the 880 not long after- wards. Ernst took a second in the discus, Larsen and Nuese taking fourths in the 440 and 100. Al Leisenring placed third in the high jump and Toby Terrell won the low hurdles to add to the Blues points which were now becoming scarce. Choate and Loomis pulled far ahead, Hotchkiss placing ahead of Berkshire and Taft. And thus we finished the season with a dis- appointing 2-5 record, a record which does not really reveal the strength of the '55 track team. The league was stronger this year than in any past one and our performance in the Pentags was as good as we could have hoped for against such powerful teams as Choate and Loomis. Praise enough cannot be given to the coaches Kellogg, Smith, Berry. and Bates for their patience and understanding. l- M My-if Mx, S2 5 Y 5 5 if fy I , 3 1 f -tk ' V 'XL ' .V .1 21 Q 22465.

K 1' Q Q,-5,594 ' my Spring Play T was properly decided by the dramatic authori- ties that the only production which could ab- sorb the immense talent of the Senior class was a Shakespearean tragedy. Accordingly, Olbvfffl was presented by the H. D. A. as the l955 spring play. Leading the cast were Gus Wiriston as the Moor, Shaun LaRoche Iago, and two imports from the outside world, Allie-Lou Kurten and Doris Belack playing Desdamona and Emilia re- spectively. These principals could not have done the line job they did without the strong support of Ellsworth and Hunt-Roderigo and Montano- and Courtney jones, who handled the character of Bianca with sympathy and facility. Needless to say, the diadem of Senior stars reached through every level of performance and production. There was Tim jecko, living the part of dashing Cassiog Ed Blair, of noble countenance and imperturbable poiseg Steve Wailes, suitably distraught and fa- therlyg Al Churchill, of magnificently impassioned delivery, Tom August, of few words, but sincereg and of course, a picked group of senators and soldiers-Watt, Birch, Piroumoff, and Hixon. jim joy kept a firm hand on the dimmer levers, and lighting, under his direction, was always compe- tent, and occasionally spectacular. When the hnal curtain fell at approximately 10:45 Saturday evening, all the players experi- enced justified elation in the knowledge of a good job well done. Winston's fine reading of blank verse impressed all but the most insensitive of the audiences, and there were persistent rumors that Elia Kazan himself was scouting from the tenth row. lf this was the case, he surely had a busy evening. Steady-Eddy Blair had mouths gaping as he entered to thicken the plot. His long red robes, embroidered tastefully in thick gold thread resembled a mandarin's garments more than a duke's, but the heart and mind of the man therein revealed a knack for handling lines like, Say it, Othello which amazed even the most boorish groundling. Keep your eyes on Broadway for this young man. CD. P. S. cart No. 452.1 Another figure Elia could not have missed was Piroumoff. A suave and versatile actor, George and his co- horts were the ,lille qua mm of the production. Besides carrying a mean lantern, George displayed fluid elocution in his big scene starting, News, lads! Although Tim Hixon's dialogue carried a touch of the Old South, his distinguished ap- pearance overwhelmed any possible criticism on that count. Watt and Birch spent much of their on-stage time in cunning suits of cloth armor which looked rather like a cross between large rabbit pelts and asbestos Hre-fighting suits, but no one can say that the lads were deficient in any of their several duties. Churchill and August cannot be properly dealt with in the little space remaining, so perhaps it is best simply to say that Hotchkiss will not soon forget their histrionic ability. ln all seriousness, Ollielln was a success. La Roche, although not as comfortable in blank verse as the other leads, developed into an Iago not easily criticized. His greatest fault was probably in over-playing the temptation scene, but the proper shades of irony come only with greater experience. Allie-Lou and Doris were extremely good. And over all the show was again the guid- ing hand of Russel Edwards, whose trials were blessed with reward. .tafl K Qu Xa 1 ' R, 1.1 1 ' 'H .1 A . IQ A 53171 t Y' fm -I Q?

Graduation RADUATION was the culmination of four years of blood, sweat, and tears for some, and for an elite few four solid years of bliss free from worry, yet for the graduating class they will always be remembered as four of the best years of our lives. Graduation week with exams, conditions, and for some more conditions, was really the most hectic ever hoped to be spent by any of us. For coupled with exams there was the job of cleaning out rooms and closets and depositing everything into the back of the family car and then graduating. Graduation with the dance and then Huff's party at which he ended up with 28 alumni and 6 from Walker's, Dobb's, etc., for the night proved that the class of '55 had not only scholars in its midst but a group of night owls. As we all filed into chapel for the last time there was an indescribable feeling in the hearts of us all. We all knew that this was the last time we would file down the aisle and take our places, and it was especially different as the Duke was graduating with us. With the awarding of the prizes and speech by Bishop Sherrill it was over and we all filed out to receive the congratulations of our parents and say good-by to our friends, some of whom we would never see again. This is probably the last time the class of ,55 would be together as a body forever and was the perfect way to make our farewell to Hotchkiss as students. 143 QW :ff ww ai gf Q it 1 g ' hx -Le,t,..f 'af X X 5 , Q JL!
