V i BAXTER HALL BARN ES LIBRARH WILLIAM R. BREWSTER, Headmaster TO THE CLASS OF 1946 This Kimball Union Class of 194-6 has real character. You forty young men have accom- plished a great deal, especially during this, your Senior Year. You have recovered from the war time jitters and, on the whole, you have turned in a good quality of scholastic work. More than that, it appears to me that you have worked very faithfully and intently. You have made good the many athletic heart- aches of the two past years. You have piled up a goodly number of clean, hard-earned victories. Along with these you have given of yourselves generously for the future welfare of Kimball Union. I can only compliment you as a class and extend to you the hearty thanks of our whole K.U.A. family. As I have so often told you, it is how you con- duct yourselves as graduates and products of Kimball Union that most endears you to Mum Brewster and myself. The men retuming to see us from the services gladden our hearts, for they seem so wholesome and unspoiled, in spite of all they have been through. As long as we're alive, we hope to be in contact with you, and we will be interested in every phase of your life and work. It is my hope that you will continue your en- thusiastic efforts for Kimball Union and give every possible assistance to the task of fulfilling our dreams and plans for the K.U.A. of the fu- ture. We must keep our sights high if we are to attain our goal. We all admit that the general equipment at Kimball Union during your attend- ance has not been what we hope it will be in the near future. As the years roll on, however, I can see you returning and saying, When I attended, it was . . . I want you to look with pride upon whatever changes take place and never feel that they were unnecessary. I want you to realize that you have already done a great deal to make these developments possible by the good name you have given Kimball Union in several fields of endeavor. The colleges are our most severe and logical critics because it is they who are in the best posi- tion to judge correctly human products of this school. It is disheartening to see a boy enter col- lege on our recommendation and become a Joe College. This is bound to happen, I fear, in some rare cases. Why, I canit understand. I some- times think the Army has had a better influence than college life. Carry on, men of 1946! Keep up the good work wherever you may find yourself after leav- ing us. I believe you will realize that all the things we've tried to tell you will come true and have not been said in vain. As Mum,' Brewster convalesces in the hos- pital, she lives by some verse each day. I pass on to you the last two she has written me: Love all, trust a few, do wrong to no one. F or I have learned in whatsoever state I alll, therewith to be contentf, I want to give you, too, her favorite hymn, I would be true, which ends with the line: I would look up and laugh and love and lift. My affectionate best wishes- always. Sincerely, HCHIEFK E71 Y Q I .x M , L A x N W Y X ! 3 SPX f X X 5 E if ' N XX , L -wx wx , f, v, z ixaljjffq f ' , M W' W7 f K E l 411125 S gf af K Q W ELM!

It is mueh to his eredit that he organized a lighting aggregation from the new boys, Jayvees of the previous season, and the few last yearis varsity members still at Kimball Union and went on to win five and tie one of the seven games played. Coaeh Carveris skillfully devised plays were made the more effective by Mr. Akerstrom's well trained, power- eenter and signal ealler.

'lil1l'll dur- H91 ing the closing minutes Troy made a safety, Cerrish a touchdown, and Baldwin the extra point. It was a well-earned 9-6 victory. The Mount Hermon game on October 20, from the spectator's point of view especially, was the finest game of the season. A beautiful day, a spacious setting, a slight bit of luck upon which the Kimball Union team dogged fight to hold the advantage gained against capitalized, a a more powerful line made this encounter un- forgetable football. Probably no one was more surprised than Bob Logan himself when he inter- cepted the Mount Hermon pass, then ran for the touchdown that gave us the chance to win. The next two games gave Coach Carver's boys easy victories. On October 27 Clark School was beaten 32-0 in a game in which six long K.U.A. runs averaged twenty yards each and Clark was held to a total of seven yards gained. On November 3 the Woodstock game became a track meet in which Gerrish, Seward, Baldwin, Colby, and Lewis ran up a total of 61.0 Then came a sudden stop to easy success. At New Hampton on November 10, Kimball Union it up . outplayed its opponents, threatening to score repeatedly, only to be held for downs in the shadow of the enemy goal. It was a baffled team that came home with a fruitless 0-0 tie. Vermont, the old rival, beat Kimball Union 13-0 on November 17. The K.U.A. boys entered the game without valuable Alan Lewis, who had broken his arm in practice. During the game, J. D. Kelly was hurt, and later Dick Gerrish, whereupon Vermont scored. Despite Dick,s even- tual return to the game and a subsequent im- provement in the K.U.A. fortunes, he was unable to last out the game and the aggressive Vermont team scored again. Although this defeat cast gloom over the Hill- top temporarily, all came to look upon the 1945 season as highly successful. Few teams outscore their opponents 153-25 in seven games, or gain 1395 yards to 403. In our gallery of stars we must put for this varsity squad Troy and Dutille as defense men, Kelly and Baldwin as wily ball- carriers, and Gerrish as a smashing player in both departments. 1501 Liar-ul, - Aa- Firs!

Adams, Alr. Sherman, and their players have a right to be proud of the outcome of their difficult schedule. After the low score defeats at the hands of West Lebanon and Holderness, they went through thc rest of the season undefeat- ed, piling up l05 points against zero for their op- ponents.

RESERVE FOOTBALL SCHEDULE Kimball lfnion 46 New Hampton 0 Kimball Union l3 New Hampton 7 Kimball Union 13 Vermont Academy 6 Kimball Union l8 Lebanon 0 Kimball Union 26 Lebanon 2 Kimball Union 19 Vermont Academy 0 The Reserve Football Season The Reserves boast the best scoring record of this year's football teams, having gone through the season undefeated and untied. Although faced by such teams as New Hampton and Ver- mont, our feathermen plunged in undaunted, won the first game by a large score over an un- equal team, and then came back the next week to defeat Vermont, the traditional rival. Of the next three victories, the one over Lebanon was the most gratifying, because of defeat at the hands of that school the year previous. Last came the second victory over Vermont-and on I 5 2 our own field. Little wonder that Mr. Spaulding and Mr. Douglass were pleased with the seasong and little wonder that the boys give most of the credit to these two coaches, not only for instruc- tion hut for those inspiring fight talks between the halves. Teamwork was particularly goodg yet half- back Phil Porter and fullback Bill Hutler deserve much credit for their hard hitting runs which scored most of the tallies, engineered skilfully by the signal calling of Chuck Frost. l f if 4 1' ff 7 if , X S' I K2 7 W2 ' X w ill Q 4 ff W W5 it ,..

The Varsity Basketball Season lmmediately after Thanksgiving recess aspir- ants for the l946 Varsity Basketball team were practicing long and earnestly in the gymnasium under the direction of Coach Leonard Barker. With several veterans of last yearis squad avail- able and with promising new material, the Var- sity expected to have a winning combination. After the coach had drilled the team on neces- sary fundamentals, the showing in a pre-season scrimmage with the Dartmouth ,l.V.'s looked 6IlC0llI'ii.glllg. After returning from Christmas vacation, We found ten days of practice insufficient, for the Varsity, much out-classed, lost the first game of the season to the Dartmouth MBV squad 46-19. Following this defeat, the team lost several close games: one to Lebanon 35-33, and two overtime thrillers to Mt. Hermon 36-32, and New Hamp- ton 30-28. A highly experienced and sharp shoot- ing Stevens High quintet downed the Varsity basketeers 49-23 in a decisive game. Journeying to Governor Dummer, Kimball Union won its first game by defeating the op- l5 posing team 42-l9. ln the following encounter, however, Vermont Academy, remembering the setback received last year, defeated the Kimball Union boys 53-28. Bouncing back from this debacle, the Orange and Black won their second victory, defeating Lebanon 28-26 in a close game. Again Vermont Academy proved too strong, beating our Varsity 4-2-34. Hoping to win over the highly-touted Mt. Hermon team, Kimball Lnion traveled to North- field, only to lose in a low score game 23-20. K.U.A. did, however, beat Clark School soon afterwards 37-29. Again New Hampton managed to eke out a victory, this time 34-32. In the last game of the season, in spite of its best efforts, our team was defeated by Stevens High again in an overtime game 48-45. Although this record is not very impressive, several games failed of victory only by a lucky basket or two in the closing minutes of play. This team deserves credit, not alone for hard and skillful playing, but also for the praise- worthy sportsmanship exhibited. 4-l First Row: Connell, B. Robertson. W. Carey, Cizek. Cummings. Combs.

The reasons are not far to seek. Almost all the squad members were inexperienced and, therefore, had to be taught their fundamentals by Coach Spalding before they could even play together as a team. This fact, together with some- what frequent defeats, at times dispirited the players and resulted in poor scoring. Some games were very good. The contest with Lebanon, for instance, was a well-sustained iight of which the ,layvees may be proud, in spite of their defeat by a narrow margin.

On the ,layvee second team were a number of younger boys who showed distinct promise. They may look forward to greater success next year and perhaps even the call to the Varsity team. Whatever success these ,layvee groups had was due to the patient guidance of Mr. Spalding. l55l First Row: Larned, Whitcfmmh, Tenney, Birnbaum, Chandler, Guest.

THE RESERVE BASKETBALL SCHEDULE Kimball Union 15 Hanover 18 Kimball Union 23 Hanover 13 Kimball Union 24- Hartford 11 Kimball Union 34 Holderness 22 The Reserve Basketball Season Because of the unusually large group of boys out for basketball this winter, it was necessary to form a Reserve team. The Reserves, coached by nlVlike,7 Deneault, played four games, of which they won three and lost one. The first game was an encounter with Hanover, a hardfought battle to the end. A 15-15 tie brought on an overtime in which our opponents managed to make three points and thus win the game by the narrow margin of 13-15. The second contest was with Hartford and gave us a score of 24-11. This was due to the conscien- tious way the boys practiced and to the stiff coaching methods of Mr. Deneault. The second l 56 Hanover game turned out to be a victory of 23-13, which avenged the loss of the former tilt. Well in their stride, the team journeyed to Holderness to gain an easy triumph of 34-22, the third suc- cess of the season. The boys, green and humble in their willing- ness to be taught, took to the careful instruction that they received. They should be an asset to next yearis J.V. team. Moreover, since most of the boys are freshmen and sophomores now, they will provide good material for K.U.A.'s future Varsity squads. High scorers for the team were George Tenney and HCal', Chandler. l K 1155 First Row: Allen, M. Brown, J. D. Kelly, Von Thurn, Baldwin.

Wim The Varsity Hockey Season With a small squad of ten men, half of whom were returned lettermen, Kimball Union enjoyed its first really successful hockey season in recent years. Mr. Akerstrom's coaching, along with an aggressive spirit on the part of the players, resulted in eleven victories out of twelve starts. Immediately upon returning from Christmas vacation, although they had only about a week of skating and no scrimmages, the team cap- tured the lnterscholastic Tournament at Dart- mouth by defeating New Hampton 3-2 and Mount Hermon 2-1. From this time until the game with Vermont, K.U.A. had little difficulty beating its opponents. The loss to Vermont, 3-4, incited the team more than any possible fight talk. This fact was proved by the next meeting with Ver- mont, at Kimball Union, in which the Orange and Black downed its traditional rivals 2-1 to regain possession of the Headmasterfs Trophy, which had remained at Vermont for two years. l 58 The Deerfield game proved to be the highlight of the season. This encounter was dominated by speed, excellent passing, and all-around good hockey in every phase of playing. Deerfield, undefeated in eight games, was definitely out- elassed on this occasion. K.U.A. led at the end of the first period 3-0, and, although Deerfield tried in vain to tie the game, when the final whistle blew, Kimball Union had taken another game, 3-2. We pay tribute to Captain Kelly, who through the season led his team very masterfully, to Mike Brown and Bill von Thurn for excellent performance on the wings, and especially to Al Allen, who previous to this year had never played as goalie. The four shutouts for Al are proof of his outstanding work. Defensemen Cerrish and Troy were invaluable assets, since it was through their alert playing that opponents scored so rarely. l First Roux' MacDonald. Earl. Batclteltler, Cook. Martin. llaslrrouck.

On the contrary, it was a good season, considering the caliber of the opponents. The Hanover High School players, who defeated us in three con- tests, were unquestionably very adept at hockey, yet our boys stubbornly kept the scores from being one-sided. ln the other four games, two with New Hampton and two with Vermont, the ,layvees were well matched. Although losing to Vermont in both encounters, the ,lunior Puck- sters played very well, especially in the second of these games. The layvees easily defeated New Hampton in both clashes with that school. Although teamwork was the preeminent factor in such successes as the team had, individual ability counted greatly in the final tallies. The defensive trio, Charlie lVlartindale, Harry Bret- tell, and goalie Ted Cook, were stars of the team in all three of the Hanover encounters. Their performances were a great credit to both them- selves and the team, for they broke up many of Hanoverls potential scoring plays. Charlie Pond, Bob Davidoff, and Jim Miller showed creditable performances at defense. Captain David Batchelder was the outstanding forward of the team, netting five of the Jayvee tallies. Playing with Batchelder on the first line were Don Martin, Pete Earl, and John Per-Lee, all of whom helped many a play to click. i591 W' in ww S. .qsjfgfgv 'wo i, ' '-:' L7 ..

The Varsity Ski Team Season This year under the splendid leadership of Coach Bill Robes and Ike Townsend, the Varsity skiers completed their second consecutive unde- feated season. Although meets were late in start- ing, the team was able to don the hickories and defeat Gould Academy on January 26, here at Meriden. A week later the K.U.A. G'Big Fivei' went to Vermont Academy to take part in the Winter Car- nival there. The team met Vermont, Cushing, and Deerfield. Out of sixteen possible places at this meet the Kimball Union men took eleven to clinch the contest. On February 9, Vermont, Cushing, and Mount Hermon came to Meriden for our Winter Car- nival. Here, K.U.A. took both slalom and cross- country, gaining in each a hundred points and dropping only two-and-a-half points in the other two events. During refreshments the Ski Trophy was presented to Captain Buell. The Varsity team was to have journeyed to Cushing, but, because of poor snow conditions there, the meet was called off. Our boys did, how- ever, encounter one more opponent, Hanover High School, winners of the New England Inter- Scholastic Championship. Despite such formid- able opposition, the K.U.A. Varsity won a good victory. Besides the regularly scheduled meets, the team took part in two open meets: the Franconia Open Meet on December 15, and the Eastern Cross- Country and Jumping Championship Meet at Laconia. Captain Irv Buell, Howard MDOC7, Irons, Paul Lincoln, John '4Squeakw Piane, Phil Porter, Art Phillips, Erich Schmitt, and Wes Howard did very commendable skiing throughout the season. It must be remembered that their native ability, however, was much improved upon by Bill Robes, who develops masterful jumpers, and Ike Town- send, who turns out cross-country skiers that are hard to follow. l61l ............i.............J First Row: Post, Read, Libby, Sycamore, Hammond, ,I.

Kimball Union J.V. 397.6 100.0 Stevens High School Vermont Academy J.V. 337.6 80.7 The Junior Varsity Ski Team Season The Kimball Union ,l.V.,s, like the Varsity, completed the season undefeated, having a rec- ord of two victories and no defeats. They won their first encounter on February 23, during Dads' Weekend, by beating the skiers of Stevens High School of Claremont in a four-event meet held in Meriden. The Kimball Union team com- pletely outclassed their opponents by taking the first six places in cross-country and the first four in jumping. Although the remaining two events were more even, the l.V.,s beat the Claremont team by six points. On February 27, Vermont Academy7s ,l.V.'s bowed to our squad in a meet restricted to one event only, cross-country. By taking the first six places the Hilltop boys easily won, successfully completing the season. I 62 In regard to individual talent, several boys were outstanding. Bob Logan, last ycaris captain, did splendid Work this season by capturing a first in slalom against Stevens and a second in cross-country against Vermont Academy. Jimmy Cooke was perhaps the hardest worker on the team. Apparently his efforts paid, for he won two third places against Claremont. Johnny Cenn took top honors in jumping for the J.V. squad: he received a Hrst place in the meet with Stevens High School. Bill Butler, who successfully worked his way up from the Recreational Skiers, did an admirable job in the same meet when he captured a first in downhill and a second in slalom. With boys like these available, next year's Varsity should have an excellent team. l Mr. Moulton fFirst Aid Instructorl, Courtiss, Read, Thaxter, Buell, Evans, Mott, Porter, L.

Headed by Mr. Moulton and Irving Buell, the patrol leader, the boys did much to make the slopes near school safer during the ski season. Also they spent a few afternoons in patrolling Oak Hill, in Hanover, because of the shortage of manpower there. The Ski Patrol, identified by their blue and gold arm-bands and first aid belts, were a familiar sight on the slopes about the school. At every ski meet, the patrol toboggan was near at hand, ready to transport accident cases to a waiting K.U.A. station wagon. Since the prime requirements for membership in the Ski Patrol are experience and perfect con- I 63 trol during skiing, all participants are especially picked by Mr. Moulton from among numerous candidates. A twenty-five hour first-aid course for new members, or a refresher course for former ones, is required of all who go out on this work. Altogether, this year has been a successful one for the patrol, since more interest has been shown and more members have been recruited than for- merly both from the ski teams and the recrea- tional skiers. Each member owes Mr. Moulton thanks for the conscientious leadership and ex- cellent instruction he has given the patrol during the school year, a training that showed its worth when ,lim Jones was so dexterously moved after his accident. l Recreational Skiers Once the snow falls on Meriden, the student body en masse takes to the hickories, whatever other sport the individuals may prefer for regular practice. By dozens they take the thrills and spills of the ,Tater Patchw or the back of Zea's hill. Under the teaching of Bill Robes, 'glkew Townsend, and Mr. Moulton the 'LRec', skiers learn the fundamentals. Each year many a be- ginner develops into a first-class downhill and slalom runner, potential material for the ski team of the ensuing season. This past year, through the Eastern Amateur Ski Association, Kimball Union boys have been given their fourth class proficiency tests. These tests are the first of a series which leads to a rating. This is a much desired award because only a runner having a rating may enter championship meets. ,...,,.- 1 5. I ,X Q f . . ai ii lime-af, , .

W- J The Kimball Union Outing Club Largely because of the enthusiastic leadership of Bill Robes, this year has proved to be one of the most successful that the Outing Club has had. Bill and the advisory council, composed of Wil- liam R. Brewster, Henry H. Douglass, Guy E. Moulton, Wayland R. Porter, Edward L. Spald- ing, and Walter Winship, decided at the begin- ning of this year that there would be only two ways in which to join the club. One of these methods would be to complete creditably the Junior Guide course, the other would be to finish a project satisfactorily by December first. This action was taken to enroll only those boys who were actually interested in Outing Club work. ln other years the Outing Club has had over a hun- dred members, of whom perhaps only ten or twenty took sincere interest in the club activities. ln the fall, eighteen boys started to take the Junior Guide course, which culminates in written examinations and a field test. Of these eighteen, eleven boys successfully finished it. Along with those who had passably completed their projects and along with the Junior Guides of the previous I 67 year, the new Junior Guides began the many jobs which the Outing Club had planned. A new addi- tion to the cabin and a bridge across Bonner's stream were just two of the many pieces of work soon finished. The numerous hikes and trips taken by the club members were valuable training. Almost every week the Outing Club boys packed their gear into the club Hjalopyl, and started off down the road toward some spot in the wilderness of the New Hampshire hills. In the spring the club tried something new in the organization's history, that is, competition between Outing Clubs. There was a contest held with the Dartmouth Outing Club in Hy and plug casting, speed in campfire building, and cooking. Much stress was placed on the art of fishing this spring. The slate of officers for the club this year is Richard Jackson, Presidentg Edward Evans, Vice- Presidentg Harold Nelson, Secretary-Treasurer, Robert Pease, Superintendent of Trailsq and Douglas Strauss, Chief Hutmaster. l i itfiql' The Dads' Weekend One of the most enjoyable events of the year for many boys was the Dads? Weekend, held in the latter part of February. Of the eighty fathers who came, most were housed in Dexter Richards Hall. Thursday evening and Friday gave the dads a chance to talk over their sons' progress with the teachers. Some hardy-souled fathers went to classes and even gave the boys the fruits of their experience to make pointed the phase of the sub- jects being studied at the time. Friday evening the Kimball Union Players demonstrated their talents in presenting-to the rollicking enjoyment of the dads-the comedy Arsenic and Old Lacef' The members of the younger generation did themselves proud the next day in athletics. Before their fathers the ski teams defeated Hanover High and Claremont High. The hockey team beat Mount Hermon, 3-2. That eve- ning, Ross McKenney of the Dartmouth Outing Club entertained the fathers with a short, humor- ous talk illustrated by movies of his camping trips in Maine. The next morning fathers and sons went to church and heard the Rev. Roy Chamberlain deliver a pointed sermon. Last event I 68 of memorable note was the steak Sunday dinner. The Dads, Council, formed last year, elected the following ollicers during the weekend: James C. Campbell, President, Robert C. Hopkins and Howard H. Seward, Vice-Presidents, Dr. Leslie K. Sycamore, Secretary, and John M. Piane, Treasurer. The Executive Committee, formed to assist the above-mentioned officers, consists of Sherman Baldwin, Windsor C. Batch- elder, William R. Brewster, Fulton Brown, Eric E. Bryant, Deems L. Buell, R. Douglas Esten, Edward E. Evans, Robert H. Russell, Ralph F. Slayton, Edwin V. Post, William H. Upson, and Nathaniel E. Whiteside, Jr. This council of fathers was formed for the purpose of assisting Mr. Brewster and the faculty in mak- ing Kimball Union Academy an even better school for the boys. We are certain that, at the rate this mere two- year-old tradition has aroused the enthusiasm of the dads for new and ambitious projects, these annual reunions are likely to take place among Kimball Unionis strongest customs. l my-ivy ,ff ff' :ss II? 5, X 'Suk f 35 i f ,, . ,yszw,,,zm5,-,Zip,,,,ff-twainAr g -:ff-2 , 4 'VW T, ax ..i,M,KR Vi' ...ww A---MJ f ff f si., Q' in 'N 'N x E lxlit :f isaii S fiziesgasa: Q g xx Ex 2 Q Q!

The Kimball Union The Kimball Union, this year as in the past, has been the school's official newspaper. It has given, in so far as any general will of the student body made itself felt, the type of news and features that the boys want. Since sports are the principal extra-classroom interest on the Hilltop, articles on games have made up a rather large proportion of this yearls issues. Next in popularity is uThe Keyhole, a human interest or gossip feature which covers the unofficial doings in dormitory, in the mail, and on the playing fields with sur- prisingly productive detective work. This may be due to the fact that reporters are Nplantedv among the boys in each dormitory. A traditional means of contact with alumni and parents of present students, The Kimball Union has been sent out to a mailing list of nearly 200 this year. Starting with a small veteran staff of eight, lVlr. Rawson, the adviser, found it an uphill task to produce the paper on the scale expected this year, l 73 since the plan was to return to pre-war status of an issue every two weeks instead of once in three weeks. With the eventual addition of ten new members, the staff broadened its program and encouraged the student body to contribute essays, forum letters, and editorials of general interest. During parts of the year when Editor-in-Chief Baldwin was much absorbed by his other obliga- tions, several members divided his duties among themselves. Robert Tucker shouldered the burden for a while. After him Sherwood, a talented edi- torial writer, and the team of Per-Lee and Rice, co-editors of sports, carried on the headship of the paper. Among the new comers Harry Mon- tague and loc Rahill struck off some brilliant editorials. Wheelhorse of the photographers was Bob Libby, who took all but two of the pictures used. Through excellent cooperation of the entire staff the arduous two-week schedule was met. Not an issue was omitted. l First Row: T. Cook, Crump, Upson. Austin, Pardy, Patterson, Sycamore.

The Kimball Union Choir The number of the boys who wished to par- ticipate in the choir was gratifying from the be- ginning of the year, but after it became rumored about that there would be two joint concerts with the girls from St. Maryis, literal dozens of boys discovered in themselves a new-born urge toward song. During the fall term the principal choral event was the Christmas Carol service. The vested choir, the candlelight, the festive decorations in the chapel, the singing of the familiar Christmas songs made this a service to be remembered. The occasion was further highlighted by the assist- ance of Mrs. Moulton and the instrumental duet by Mr. Reed and Arthur Brome. Near the close of the winter term the first con- cert with St. Mary's took place. The forty girls arrived on Saturday afternoon, March 16, and went into long and appreciated practice with the choir-pardon us, the HGlee Clubi' for the nonce. That evening the concert, an impressive one, was l 74 given before the student body and some of the townspeople. After an all-too-short dance in the Recreation Room, the girls went home through the night, much to the chagrin of more than glee club members only. Shortly after the spring vacation our singers again met with the St. Mary,s girls, but this time at their school. Although unable to have much practice between concerts because of the conflict between the vacation schedules of the two schools, the Kimball Union Singers gave a very creditable performance. Much of the excellence of the choir, both in Sunday morning services and in its lay perform- ances as Clee Club, is due to the patience and persistence of Mr. Rawson, who carries this activ- ity purely from a love of music and a willingness far beyond the call of duty to do what needs to be done to make our cultural life on the Hilltop well rounded. Besides to him, appreciation goes out to Miss Magill, our unfailing accompanist. l Front Razr: Mr. Calvacca lliirectoril. Sycamore, Vaughan, Meyer. Back Row: Porter. Bickford, Logan, Irons.

Calvacca, there came revived interest in semi-classical music. Despite a natural tendency for boys to prefer swing and jazz to classical music, there has been an unusually large audience at the re- citals of the orchestra. lVlr. Calvacca fulfills the requirements of conductor for this new organiza- tion admirably. Former head of the Fordham llniversity Clee Club and himself an accom- plished violinist, he possesses a deep knowledge of orchestral music. It is debatable at times whether the group is primarily orchestra or band, for it is composed of nine wind instruments but only four violins. These latter are often drowned out by Bob lloganls trumpet and Phil Porter's trombone. However, Mr. Calvacca has readily solved this problem by selecting four members to play as a violin quartet, thereby demonstrating qualities of the violin as an instrument. Perhaps the high point of the orchestral season occurred during Dads' Weekend, when the boys played between the acts of '4Arsenic and Old Lacef' The progress of the musicians was indeed noticeable at this climax of its seasonis work, forecasting still better efforts in the future years of more deeply established tradition in good music. Reaching far aheld for practice with a talented group, lVlr. Calvacca, Mr. Moulton, Hob Logan, Dick Sherwood, and Phil Porter have gone to Hanover eve1'y Tuesday evening to play with the Handel Society. Another organization that has grown out ofthe orchestra is the music appreciation group which meets on Sunday afternoons in the lirewstersl living room. Under the direction of lVlr. Calvacca a symphony or a group of overtures is played for the enjoyment of about forty music lovers. Many thanks are due our director and the llrewsters, who have so kindly opened their home to these boys. l75l First Row: Herzig, Bickford, Hasbrouck, Porter, Whitcomb, Perry, H. Nelson.

The Kimball Union Band As soon as football weather came last fall, the boys under the leadership of Mr. Moulton began practicing to provide inspiration for the players in football games and colorful music for the spectators. 'Tis said that the musicians, own en- thusiasm was such that on occasion they nearly drowned out the opponent's signals on the field. Mr. Moulton saw to it in the long pre-season practices that the band did not play to excess the simple pieces from secondary school music books but, rather, specialized in Souza marches and other pieces of good quality. He put much effort this year into seeking out music which would lend variety and zest to appeals for that touchdownv and to the rejoicings appropriate when victory was won. Since jam sessions came to the ears of out- siders only as muffled noises from the basement of Baxter, the outstanding members of the band are known to the local public only through the l 76 volume emitted from their instruments. ln the midst of what may have seemed to those seated too near in the stands one grand confusion rose the blaring notes of trumpets played by Bob Logan and Doug Whitcomb. These sounds were only accented by the pompous bumping of Bob Wikoff's tuba. Then, standing out above all other playing was the insistent twicldling whistle of Mr. Moulton's piccolo, an instrument which he maintains can 'be heard in the loudest bands. We believe it. We have heard its variegated shrill notes far down beyond the goal posts. The band played at all important football games and at the chapel rallies which preceded them. Not alone Varsity teams, but ,l.V.'s and Reserves were urged along to accomplishments by these musicians. The band plans to come out of the moth balls during May and practice to take part in the festivities of Class Day and Gradua- tion. l First Row: Courtiss, Goodale, Birnbaum, Libby, Porter, Strauss, Guild.

The Camera Club After drifting along for half a year with no direct leadership, the Camera Club was taken over by Miken Deneault when he came to the Hilltop. g'lVlike,s'i plan was to instruct those boys who were really interested in the two phases of photography, the taking of pictures and the dark- room techniques. At opportune times classes were held in which the principles involved in taking pictures, in the make-up of the camera, and in various other phases of photography were discussed. From the classroom, the new club members were taken into the darkroom for experience in actual developing and printing. In addition to the competition held for the CONCORDIA Plaque for the best photograph of the year, monthly contests took place in which the interest was keen and in which many good pic- tures were entered. Photography, though a new hobby for the majority of the boys in the club, is old business to several. Bob Libby has been every- I 77 where in evidence, rain or shine, always at hand for the unewsyw shot. Phil Porter has kept up the artistic approach, and John Per-Lee and Dick Hasbrouck have specialized in human interest subjects. Several improvements were made in the club this year. The darkroom was cleaned thoroughly and permanent contact printers were installed. Besides, photographic supplies were purchased through wholesale channels and were made avail- able at the athletic store to the members of the club. The greater part of the CONCORDIA,S snap- shots came from the members of the Camera Club, who were always on the alert for an appro- priate candid shot. We are grateful to ulVlike,' Deneault for the improvements he brought about in club condi- tions and for the way in which he interested many boys in a hobby that will be a source of enjoy- ment and usefulness throughout life. l First Rout: Courtiss, Hopkins.

The 1946 Concordia This yearbook which you are now reading, this product of hundreds of hours of concerted effort, was planned in the fall of 1945 during several staff sessions in Baxter 4. As is the case before full measure of an unknown job has been taken, the group planned to have new drawings, new plates throughout, and more text in proportion to pictures. However, as the year wore on and deadlines approached without the heaven-sent ap- pearance of another artist like Campbell Kiniry, our journalists became content with only a few innovations. Additional composite pages have re- placed some of the still life plates, and each senior has been given a thumbnail character sketch. Since Mr. Sherman has aroused new interest in the past of Kimball Union, we have included a section on the school history and have accompanied it by several rare old pictures of life and scenes on the Hilltop fifty years ago. I All members of the stall' did good reporter's work in gathering the material for copy, but digesting the consequent mass of articles and pic- tures to organized form was the task of a hard- working little group guided by Mr. Cheever. Free periods and Sunday afternoons saw Editor-in- Chief Phil Porter and his assistant, Bill Mc- Kinley, cutting, pasting, deleting, and padding out the written accounts. Ed Evans, ,lohn Piane, Gene Courtiss, Dave Batchelder, and Harry Meyer did the tedious work of fitting snapshots into composite pictures. From the first, Bob Hopkins showed results as business manager. To him largely goes Credit for the fact that this CONCORDIA has broken the rec- ord for advertising printed. He has, moreover, had the business ability to pay this issue's obliga- tions and yet keep the CONCORDIA solvent. Taj GT First Row: Herzig, Rice, Miller, Morse, R. Bryant.

The Foreign Policy Association Activities of the Kimball Union Foreign Policy Association have brought to the minds of the twelve members a vivid picture of the problems of a world in war and peace. During the early months of the school year, the meetings were held in Mrs. Brewster's living room every Monday afternoon, but later the group met on Tuesday at the home of Mr. Adams. There not the least part of the afternoon's enjoyment has been refreshments so generously provided by Mrs. Adams. Subjects for discussion have come mostly from recent events and their bearing upon world affairs in these troublous times. Controversy has fre- quently centered about the United Nations Peace Organization, the problems facing the nations participating, and their chances for long-term success. With a knowledge of the powers and functions of the U.N.O., our organization has been impressed by the favorable opportunities for preserving world order. I 79 Although it is Mr. Adams who adroitly guides discussion on domestic and most foreign subjects, it is Mr. Moulton who comes to the fore when France is mentioned. His full knowledge of that nation, its people, and its ideals has been most helpful in enabling us to look at foreign affairs from the European point of view. Since the members of the Kimball Union group joined the National Foreign Policy Association, new material has been received which helps to spur on constructive debate. The national asso- ciation's weekly bulletin is an invaluable aid to such a group as ours. Domestic problems have certainly furnished us a rich field for controversy, for we have been in- terested in the important decisions of Congress recently made as to international cooperation and domestic labor problems. Bostonis present polit- ical dilemmas have given us much food for thought and have made us resolve to profit by the convictions we have developed. l First Rauf: Baldwin. C. Bryant, lrons, Buell.

THE SENIOR COUNCIL Midway through the winter term all the stu- dents assembled in the chapel and, as has been the custom in recent years, voted for fourteen boys to represent them on the Senior Council. This organization, functioning like a student council in most schools, met with Mr. Brewster and elected as oliicers to direct its activities Howard Irons, President, Grosvenor Bryant, Secretary-Treasurer. This body acts primarily as an intermediary between the students and the faculty, often in advisory, often in a rule-making capacity. Its major accomplishment this year has been the replacing of the obsolete rules on smoking by a wholly new set of regulations. These designate specific places where smoking may take place and set up a simplified system of permissions as to who may indulge in the Hnoxious weedf, Thus clarified, smoking regulations are much more effective than formerly. In March two delegates, Lyons Baldwin and James Kelly, represented the school at a confer- ence on student government which was held at Phillips Exeter Academy. These energetic mem- bers came back to us with many new suggestions for improving the effectiveness of our own Senior Council. The next major project of the council is the '6Students7 Manual, a simple-handbook to be prepared for the guidance and orientation of new boys at Kimball Union. It is felt that much valu- able tradition may be shown them by this pam- phlet. In this, as in all things, it is the object of the Senior Council to work efficiently for high morale and congenial understanding here on the Hilltop. THE JUNIOR COUNCIL The Junior Council is composed of members of the Junior Class who have been selected hy the students for sense of responsibility, ability to get things done, and strength of character generally. Its most important task is to act as auxiliary to the Senior Council, taking over management of such events as graduation and the Senior Ban- quet, at a season of the year when the seniors are fully occupied. This organization also helps pre- pare for and carry through the Winter Carnival. Since its deliberative duties are humble com- I 81 pared with those of the senior group, the Junior Council compensates by taking up any responsi- bility which occurs as an emergency. Often this is not unconnected with mountains of snow which must be shoveled away in a hurry. Most boys, however, esteem it a high honor to be elected to this council, which automatically becomes the Senior Council upon the beginning of the new school year and remains in that capacity until the new senior organization is elected in midwinter.

The Athletic Council After a brief lapse during the war time years, the Kimball Union Athletic Council was again formed and is performing its old duties. Mr. E. Leonard Barker, Director of Athletics who re- turned last fall after four years of naval service, was instrumental in reviving this vital organiza- tion. The Council is composed of the coaches, the captains, and the managers of the organized var- sity sports. lts duties embrace, first, the discussion of all problems that affect the student body in its capacity of athletic association and, second, the formulation of rules and policies governing oper- ation of the athletic program. At the first meetings the members were in- formed of their respective duties, the constitution was approved and amended, and officers for the year were elected by the entire Association. These oilicers were Robert Osgood, President, and Lyon Baldwin, Vice-President. Commendation ought to l 82 be given the Council for its work in the awarding of the traditional MK to the team members and for the selection of managers. Discussion and debate has also taken place, for instance, in regard to the correct wearing of school athletic awards, and the forming of a committee to wel- come and properly entertain visiting teams. The members of this yearis council are these captains: Robert Osgood, football, Grosvenor Bryant and John Jacobs, basketball, James D. Kelly, hockey, Irving Buell, skiing, and Lyon Baldwin, baseball. No captains are available from spring track and from lacrosse, for acting captains are chosen in these sports for each con- test. Likewise members of the council are the managers: Arthur Phillips for football, Lombard Rice for basketball, Leverett Nelson for skiing, and Donald Maclachlan for hockey. Managers for spring sports are unknown until the end of the season because they share duties. l . '15 Zi M N 2 A X nf. QD fs- r Av ff.. . - -, Lfnzk.

The Kimball Union Players Following a lapse of a year, The Players or- ganization was revived under the direction of Mr. Reed. The initial performance was 'cArsenic and Old Lacef, the cast of which is shown above. This production was part of the entertainment for Dads, Weekend. The action of HArsenic and Old Lacew concerns scenes from the life of the slightly eccentric Brewster family in Brook- lyn. Their unusual eccentricity happens to be murder. Aunt Abby and Martha have succeeded in doing away with twelve unfortunate gentlemen by their poisoned homemade elderberry wine. Jonathan also has twelve murders to his credit, therefore, a mad race follows between the sisters and the brother to win by making the count thir- teen. Teddy, who thinks himself President Teddy Roosevelt, supplies the humor throughout by his foolish hallucinations. Finally, throughtheefforts of the police, Teddy is to be sent away along with the aunts, and as the curtain rings down, the aunts are just about to claim their thirteenth victim. The boys were well cast, and even though they occasionally missed a line, much to the detriment of Tim Reed's crop of hair, MBaldy was equal to the occasion and thought up some new line. His muscular and red-haired love, Elaine', Piane, still thanks him for extricating her from those short and awful silences. Bryant and Whitcomb were indeed convincing,-the soft-spoken mur- deressesl And Val Troy looked like one of Mel- rosels true protectors of law and order, even to toeing out as he walked his beat. We appreciate Mr. Reed,s bringing creative drama again to Kimball Union. ln spite of his worries, in spite of short rehearsals, antiquated heating arrangements, and a primitive stage, he presented a rollicking good comedy before a hall full of students, fathers, and townspeople. i841 -sul ANSENHI AND OID LACE The Carter Estate, A Dads' Council Project On April 5, 1946, the Dads, Council was incor- porated in the State of New Hampshire. On that date the fathers of Kimball Union boys officially formed an organization to further the interests and prosperity of this institution. The dads de- cided that the most pressing need was the pur- chasing of a house, easily accessible to the school, which could be used primarily by graduates returning to Kimball Union for a visit. This house could be used not only by the graduates but also by the parents of Kimball Union boys who come here for Dads' and Mothers' Weekends. After searching for a suitable house, the fathers found what they were looking for: the home of Miss Marion J. Carter, a well-kept farm estate within fifteen minutes' walk east of the school. The buildings, overlooking the school and the green mountains beyond, have a view unsurpassed in this county. The main house-white with green shutters-, the former caretaker's house, and the palatial dog house are grouped in the midst of well-kept, lush lawns surrounded by low trimmed shrubbery and white picket fences. A towering row of old elms beside the dirt road shades the buildings without hiding them. To the rear are two barns and a new tool house. At least one of these barns will be torn down in the near future to make way for a 86 more modern structure which will not cut off the vista to the west. The big house, which has been remodeled and painted recently, has downstairs two kitchens in blue and white, two bedrooms, a completely re- furnished bathroom, a pine paneled dining room, and a large living room. On the second floor are four bedrooms, two bathrooms, and beyond these a spacious attic which will be converted into a bunk room. Adjoining the house is a three-car garage, one of the compartments of which will be a store room. The caretaker's home, substantially built throughout, boasts four bedrooms, a bath- room, a kitchen, and an attic. Miss Carter's lux- urious kennel for her beloved chows, an immac- ulately clean building fifty feet long and finished in varnished pine, also will be converted into a bunkhouse. w l The rest of the estate consists of a welcome addition of 215 acres of farm and forest lands much needed for school purposes. The broad fields will produce hay, corn, and potatoes for Kimball Union, and the woods will be not only a possible source of lumber but an accessible train- ing ground for Outing Club members. The benefits of this wise purchase will be wel- come for generations of Kimball Union enthu- siasts. Previously any sizeable influx of visitors has meant a disruption of school life and an un- comfortable arrangement for all concerned. Boys have been inconvenienced but have shown good sportsmanshipg parents have slept where they could, in many instances overflowing the facilities of Meriden and finding it necessary to room in Lebanon. In the future they can be accommodated to the eventual number of 100 at this beautiful estate of their own, which looks across the pleas- ant valley to the Hilltop beyond, where their boys are at school. With us, even more than with grad- uates in the past, Kimball Union will be a school to which we as alumni can come back and enjoy our visit. l37l 1 s E 3 3 5 I Z X i My m XX Ai f 5 E QW W f W AWN?

Varsity Baseball Season Seven returned lettermen gave Coach Carver high hopes for a good 1946 baseball season, with a difhcult eleven-game slate furnishing topnotch competition. Captain Lyon Baldwin, who hurled a no-hit shutout against Clark School in his open- ing game last year, led the mound staff. Val Troy, Melrose High School ace, showed a good curve. ,lack Phillips gave real promise as a right-handed hurlerg Bob Hopkins was the only southpaw pitcher. All these boys needed to produce excel- lent pitching was a favorable stretch of good spring weather for conditioning. Lettermen Bryant and Gerrish, 19415 first and second sackers, formed the nucleus of a lively infield. Jack Phillips, former shortstop from Clinton, New York, promised to hold that posi- tion well. If, however, Phillips should pitch, Will Carey, an outfielder last year, was ready to fill the vacant position. Charley Pond, veteran flyer, was to alternate places with Johnny Cizek at the hot corner. With a powerful and speedy infield, the team felt ready to take on all comers. Last year's third baseman, L'Slugger Jimi' Kelly, became this year's catcher as a result of his excellent work in that position for the New England American Legion champions, the ball club of the Sweeney Post of Manchester. His hitting was as powerful as his accurate throws down to second base. Howie Seward was the spare catcher. Howie Seward was also the only returning out- fielder. The other positions out in the lot, how- ever, drew competition from several aspirants: Bob Logan, Don Martin, Wasson, and Kenyon. Unfortunately printers cannot wait upon the whims of rainy weather, so this account had to go to press before any of the results of Coach Carveris efforts could be recorded. 1901 First Row: Whitcomb, Connell, Chandler, Kenyon, Frost, Hammond, Muise.

The sched- ule consisted of twelve games as compared with six last year. The busy season was brought about by the fact that so many boys chose baseball as their spring sport that Coach Tony Wishinski found thirty-seven eager men on the J.V. squad. Among those returning to the squad from last year's group were Earl Kenyon, John Per-Lee, .lohn Hammond, Dick Wassori, Chuck Frost, and L'Robbie7' Robertson. They were strengthen- ed by newcomers Sanford Duncan, Seely Thomas, Morton Courier, Bill McKinley, Bruce Robert- son, '4Sandy Bowser, 6'Calv Chandler, and Stur- gis Corbett. Because of the tricky seasonal showery weather and the need for practice on the part of this large squad, the ,l.V.'s and the Reserves played intra- mural contests during the first month before it was possible to enter upon the competitive sched- ule planned. l91l EW! ll f First Row: Earl, Miller, T.

Lacrosse Season A week before spring vacation started, Coach Akerstrom called the first lacrosse practice of the l946 season. He was greeted by the largest turn- out of hopeful prospects in Kimball Union la- crosse history. Among the thirty-eight candidates were nine veterans of last year's team. It is to be noted also that many of the newcomers proved to be freshmen and sophomores. With two or more years ahead of them they should brighten the coachis hopes for future success. The team looked forward to hard competition this year throughout its seven-game schedule. On a home and home basis the K.U.A. stickmen will meet Deerfield and Mount Hermon and will play one game each with the Dartmouth J.V.'s and the R.P.I. ,l.V.'s, and Governor Dummer Academyis Varsity. At this writing the starting lineup is as yet un- determined, but most of the positions appear ably l 92 filled. On the attack are Bob Faulkner, Bill Hutchins and veteran Phil Brown, backed up by Hawley Slayton, Peter Earl, and ,lim Miller. Let- termen Mike Brown, Dave Lamere, and Alf Allen comprise the first midfieldg Dave Batchelder, Dave Larned, and Joe 0'Brien make up the sec- ond midlield. On the defense are veterans Irv Buell and Tony Quimby, along with newcomer Alan Lewis. Ed Post is ready to fill in for any of these three defensemen. On April 27 the Hilltoppers journeyed to Deer- field, where they humbled the Bn team by the count of 7-l. Although the first half was nip and tuck all the way, our boys forged ahead with four goals, holding the opposition scoreless. Scoring honors went to Bob Faulkner with three goals, then to Mike Brown with two. Other scorers were Dave Lamere and Phil Brown. l First Row: Mr. Adams fCoachJ, Perry, Warren, Wise, Irons, Rahill, Johnston, Woods.

Alumni This year the tennis squad was able to use the courts two weeks earlier than in previous years, so that Coach Adams was able to look over his material before the first meet. Since the restrictions of war time had been re- moved, there were several changes from the pre- vious few years. It was again possible to have a full schedule. This included the usual meets with New Hampton, Vermont Academy, Clark, Hold- erness, and besides with Mount Hermon, Kimball Union's first meeting with that school in tennis. Another new feature was the Alumni meet at the end of the season. This year's captain, Austin Wise, and ,lack Warren were the only two lettermen to return Hugh Sycamore, a player who showed much im- provement this year, was also on last yearis squad. At the time of writing and as the first meet was approaching, the lineup was Austin Wise, Howard Irons, Joe Rahill, Gordon John- ston, Dick Perry, and Hugh Sycamore, with Jack Warren and Bill Woods also on the squad. Mr. Adams did his usual job of careful coach- ing, or we should perhaps say teaching, because several on the squad found it necessary to learn fundamentals from the beginning. Mr. Winship was his faithful second, and Harry Meyer, most conscientious of managers, kept the courts. 931 First Row: Drury, Courtiss, Hasbrouck, Cenn, Libby, Dutille, Brettell, Colby, Mott.

The Varsity Track Season Track this year has been good in every way, not only during the sportsmanlike meets but also in the teamwork shown in long and patient train- ing. There was a very commendable turnout of tal- ent for the various divisions of field and track sports, fortunately not all of it from among the seniors. Last-year men were Hasbrouck and Brettell, both dash runners, and Drury, dogged miler. Among the juniors of real promise were Tony Colby, Schuyler Mott, Wes Howard, Phil Dutille, Dick Sherwood, Pete Relyea, and Nate Whiteside. Most of these were, up until the writ- ing of this article, versatile experimenters in sev- eral events and could not be classified as yet as outstanding in any one field. Johnny Genn, Bob Libby, Henry Smyth, C. Cochrane, Bill Stone, and Russell-all sophomores-were aspirants l 94 for places on the team. Bob Libby showed from the start of the season considerable skill and dis- tance in throwing the javelin. On April 27 the team entered its first meet, a contest at home in Meriden against St. ,lohnsbury and Lyndon Institute in which Kimball Union was edged out of first place by only eight points. lronically, Kimball Union might have won, had not a dog interfered with Harry Brettell at a cru- cial moment. Probably the hardest workers were Coach Mike Deneault, who took his job seriously, and the distractingly busy managers, Maclachlan and Campbell. Mr. Deneault, in his first year back at Kimball Union after long absence in the serv- ice, looked upon this season as groundwork for the team of 1947, since so many of the boys were capable sophomores and juniors. l 5 .

Given under our hand and seal this eighth day of June, 1946. THE CLASS OF 1946 971 CLASS HISTORY From the day of registration back in the fall of 1942 to the much anticipated day of gradua- tion in 1946, our class has grown both in number and in stature. Of the forty-two boys in the grad- uating class, only five have come through four years of mingled joy and tribulation on the Hill- top. To the original five-Harry Berwick, Mike Brown, Phil Brown, Art Phillips, and Phil Porter -three were added the next year. They were Irv Buell, Auty,' Wise, and Loring Woolredge. Our ranks have swelled from this small group to the two score who now stand ready in a still uncer- tain world to begin a new chapter in life. In our freshman and sophomore years we were so few in number and so overtopped in import- ance by upper-classmen that we are not con- scious of having had any significant history in those early days. However, a sense of cohesion came with our election of officers as juniors last year, and we began to merit the title of Class of l946. We welcomed as new masters Messrs. Bos- worth, Spalding, Winship, Parker, and Murphy. At the end of the year we were sorry to lose the services of Mr. Collins and Mr. Jarvis, both Eng- lish teachers of long standing at Kimball Union. We began to take stock of the athletic lads who were making good. There were Buell, the Brown Mtwinsf' and ,lim Kelly in football. There were Buell again, and Piane in skiing, and again ,lim Kelly in baseball. And we had our students, too: steady Harry Berwick, already an honor roll veteran since freshman year, and John Jacobs, brilliant newcomer who was soon to be consid- ered the most promising scholar among us. It was a fascinating year. What with strategic breaks in the classroom grind given by the dances, the Carnival, team trips away from school, and those new and happy institutions, Dads' Weekend and Mothers' Weekend, no term seemed too long. Then there was that freakish spring, mellow March and April followed by a mid-May snow so deep and sticky that we had to suspend classes for a day foh, painful thoughtll and go about the hill knocking snow from the trees and shrubs lest it break down their branches. The year ended on a very happy note, for the war in Europe ended and we looked forward to a senior year in I 98 peace, glad that no boy in our class had been called into service during the hostilities. No resume could do justice to the good senior year we have had, its many triumphs and few sorrows are recorded at length in the Class Logv and in the numerous sports and activities articles elsewhere in THE CONCORDIA. Let us instead remind ourselves of past impres- sions not elsewhere written down. There are cer- tain men to whom we are indebted. First of these is Chief -William R. Brewster, whose past con- tributions to the growth of Kimball Union we are inclined to forget since he is so busy with the program of expansion that we see less of him than formerly. He built up this school from twelve boys just ten years ago to an institution with a high scholastic standard, an enviable athletic record, and a long waiting list of applicants for enrollment. Besides all his cares as head of the school before Mr. Carver was named acting head- master in the fall of 194-5, 'AChief carried a heavy teaching program and gave us his chasten- ing guidance ever calculated to make us men capable of doing well in a competitive world. Of Coach Carver little need be said in way of appreciation that is not in our dedication of this CONCORDIA to him. He has come close to our ideal of a man. Let,s not forget Grubby,' Douglass, teacher, athletic director, coach, custodian of the eggs, maple sap collector, factotum extraordi- nary, who did the work of three to keep the school going during those hard war years. And there is '4Pappy,' Porter, practical in the classroom, the laboratory, and at any engineering project from plugging a plumbing leak to rejuvenating the ski tow after a summer of disuse. Hard-working Mr. Rawson of nocturnal fame, gentle HA. D. Adams of the sane international outlook, whim- sical Mr. Moulton, the preachers Dr. Truxal, Dr. Jenney, and Reverend Chamberlin-all of these have left their impress for good upon us. Not only in the classroom and on the athletic field have our powers been developed. Extra- curricular activities, also, were instrumental in our maturing. Many boys found valuable hobbies at Kimball Union which they will keep alive the rest of their lives. Those boys with a talent l for journalism benefited by contributing to The Kimball Union and The Concordia. Perhaps one of the members of the Dramatic Club may find in later life an actoris talent within him. The Choir, Glee Club, Band, or Orchestra may have nourished latent potentialities of a great singer or musician. The talents of a human being are so varied that one is often unsure of that in which he is particularly apt until some school activity strikes a responsive chord within him. L'Chief always has emphasized the fact that Kimball Union has a great many social events. Although we have sometimes hesitated to admit it, the school really has a staggering number of reliefs from boredom. Three dances, the most decorative and gala of these being the Winter Carnival, occur during the year. Then, too, the Dads, Weekend and the Mothers, Weekend help acquaint the parents with the school and the masters, and perhaps even help the boys and their parents to know each other a little better than before. Add to these worthwhile traditions the many trips outside Meriden to dances at St. Maryis in the Mountains and Kendall Hall, and to numerous athletic contests witnessed at Dart- mouth. Then, the scope of social actvities at Kimball Union is understood. When we think of all the refreshments that have been served by the masters' wives, both after athletic games and during the dances and parents, weekends, we feel deeply indebted to these hard-working ladies. ln retrospect, certain individuals among us stand out from the group for some special quali- ties. ln the classroom, an enviable record has been established by Harry Berwick, who has held an honor roll average for four years. Also, a lad whose grey matter, as Tim would say, is intact, is John Jacobs. He had the highest grades in the senior class this year. ln addition, Mike Brown, Irv Buell, Dick Cerrish, Bill Hutchins, Doc', Irons, Jim Kelly, Tony Quimby, and Val Troy have been, perhaps, the most notable con- tributors to athletic success. '6Auty Wise should be commended for all the hard work he has done on dance committees and emergency tasks about the Hilltop. Then, too, there is that jovial and versatile Baldwin, the HHumorist of 1946? class president of ours, L'Baldy', If we have made contributions to the welfare of the school, they seem very insignificant when compared with what Kimball Union has given us. We leave here feeling that the administration and the faculty have done their utmost to prepare us for whatever exigencies lie ahead. Though we may at present be far indebted to the past as represented by the accumulated traditions and the teachings of K.U.A., we shall repay that debt by showing in college presently and in manhood thereafter that we here learned well our lessons of thoroughness, good sportsmanship, and self- responsibility. I 99 l CLASS PROPHECY It is now the year two thousand forty-six. As we settle back in our well-worn uranium-foam easy chairs on a warm June evening, we allow our minds to wander over the events of the past century. As centuries go, it has been a most eventful one, producing many great events and personalities and causing many a history student to grumble. In our mental rambling, we stop to think about higher education and about schools we have known. Immediately our thinking comes to rest at a leading institution in the hills of old New Hampshire. Now one of the centers of contemporary learning, Kimball Union Acad- emy has contributed more than its share of names and famous faces to posterity. We think about the class that graduated from its hallowed halls a century ago in 1946, and we wonder how they endured the hardships of that dark age in an attempt to better themselves. A hardy lot they must have been! As we ponder more on the sub- ject, we realize that this infinitesimally small class of forty-two members had men that were prominent in every walk of life, and that when they passed away, they left great gaps in the society of the day. Pushing a nearby button, we have our robot valet bring us a wrinkled copy of the yearbook of the Class of 1946, now a valuable museum piece. Thumbing through the cracked and aged pages, we remember, from the barely recogniz- able photographs, one by one the immortal forty- two. One of the most disastrous single events of the age and one which erased a goodly portion of the group was the Totem Pole Tragedy of 1966, when New Englandis brightest night spot was reduced to ashes. Among the thousands that perished in the blaze were sixteen loyal sons of Kimball Union. It is believed that the fire was originally kindled when Robert Bryant, president of the Book-of-the-Month Club and distinguished Har- vard graduate, forgot to extinguish one of the score of cigarettes that he placed in his overcoat pocket. At a nearby table reclined Irving 4'Foote Buell, inventor and producer of the atomic ski, with his fiancee, whom incidentally, he met at a Kimball Union house party. It is rumored that he was still going steady with her after nineteen years. Over in a smoke-filled corner was John Jacobs, lumber magnate of the Berlin, New Hampshire, Match Company, discussing the stock market reports and smacking his lips over the Hoor show. With him was his constant companion and faithful bodyguard, Hop Aboardi' Osgood, sporting a new double-breasted blue serge suit set off by neon buttons. Together at another table were the Brown boys, both in the big city for a good time and en- tranced with their dates. Phil, a hermit in an unknown mountain community since his gradua- tion, was tempted from the wilds at the prospect of a double date with his old buddy, Mike, a noted user of irium and clerk at a leading ath- letic goods store. In another section of the ball- room was a knot of sighing women. In the center of the squirming group was suave Richard J ack- son, box-ofiice attraction of the day. The quiet, sophisticated heart-throb's latest picture was UI Met Her at the Outing Club? Skirting the outer ring of the gathered females was a rotund figure attempting to persuade a few of the women over to his table. Truly it was none other than David Blivit', Shaw, menls girdle tycoon. His new ripple-free-rumble-rest has aided millions. As fate would have it Mr. Shaw's lasting rival, Val- entine Troy, was also present. He could be seen passing through the crowd flexing his muscles and selling autographed copies of his new book, The Troy Home Body Culture Course. Follow- ing close on his heels was his constant com- panion and ardent admirer, Rugged Richard Vaughan, the Vermont lurnberjack, who holds the world's record for sawing through an oak log with a broken file. There is no end to the dizzy heights he might have attained. Clustered together near the dance Hoor was a strange black-bearded group of gentlemen. Who were they but 'fLomby Rice, owner-manager of the House of David basketball team and his high scorers, Henry Stone, Sanford Dauntless Dun- can and Bruce Hooper', Robertson? Lomby was treating them to a turkey dinner. Inciden- tally, Lomby still had his sports column in H001 the Manchester Daily Burp. At another ringside seat was Pretty Boy Gerrish, heir to the Ger- rish Linoleum fortune. With him was his ru- mored fiancee, whom he was amusing by swal- lowing lighted cigar butts. In the Totem Pole floor show that fateful and memorable night were also other members of the Class of '46. Heading the bill was the comedy team of Snow and Maclachlan, Siamese twins. While Maclachlan ate oranges, Snow spit out the seeds. Maclachlan also gave his celebrated imi- tations of Japanese notables. With the mellow orchestra, whose strains filled the ballroom, were Boogie,' Lincoln, Harry,, Logan, uLarry Wooldredge, One-Note Hasbrouck, and Meyer '6The Magnificentf' Lincoln, renowned in the music world for his ability to play in the dark, was calmly plucking the ivories while waving his eye lashes at a few local beauties. Logan, clad in plaid jacket and ski pants, was shaking the rafters with his rendition of Cross-Country Jump. Reading the music over his shoulder, Hasbrouck was still trying to reach a fourth note on his rusted instrument. ln a corner of the pit, Harry Meyer, violin virtuoso, was attempt- ing to free his bow, which had become entangled in his own long musician's hair. It is said that he fiddled while the Pole burned. An added attraction that evening was that twanger of womanis heart strings, groaning Alf Allen, torch singer superbus. The tune that made him famous was Everybody Knows You Left Me. Last but not least on the bill was '4Agitating Angusn Drury, who, after presenting the front row with umbrellas, gave his inimitable imitation of the four-toed one-legged golfer. Luckily missing the show that night was Bouncing Harry, the last of the great tumb- ling Brettells. He did die a few years later, though, so doubled up with arthritis that he had to be buried in a drum. Strolling through the crowd during the evening was Boris Bill Hutch- ins, with a display box over his shoulder and sell- ing gardenias for five dollars a bunch or one dollar a smell. Some said that Bill had thousands of dollars buried in a borrowed gin bottle under the floor of his Lebanon shanty. Leaning against the back wall was Big Bill von Thurn, taking in the scene and moaning some torch song under his breath. Although his job there was to oust inebriated customers, his pastime was to delve into the theory of the sixth dimension. Last of the members of the class working at the fatal night spot was Frugal Phillips. His job was peeling potatoes and whatnot. Although a cus- tomer sometimes complained of ski wax in his potato salad, Phillips had served long and faith- fully. At their double apartment nearby when the fire broke out were the co-owners of the Totem Pole, Tony Quimby and Baldy,' fand he was just thatj Baldwin. Unable to save even an ash tray from their brilliant night club, they committed a double suicide. Flags were at half mast at girls' schools all over New England on that saddest of days. So, you see, Kimball Union Academy and American society mourned because of one mis- placed cigarette butt. To get back to the class of 1946-there were but twelve loyal members left in 1966 doing their country, and for them- selves. One by one they were overtaken by death. There was Little Billi, Carey, who left K.U.A. to become the president of the U.O.N. fUnion of Newsboysl and to settle down next door to his old pal, g'Red Lightv Martin. Red Lighti' had had prosperous years dishing out hash on the plates at the Greasy Spoonv in Belmont. As fate would have it, these two old rivals mor- tally wounded each other in a duel fought in the open lot between their adjacent houses. Carey's last words were Maybe that will teach him to keep out of my roomli' And then there was 'gDoc Irons, old ski pro, who settled down in his native Vermont mountains, among the skies of his childhood. He was immediately made president of a local 4-H club but was killed at middle age in the famous feud between the lronses and the McKays. A couple of prominent graduates that re- mained in the territory near Kimball Union were Harry Berwick and Phil Porter. Handsome Harry took over his fatheris barrel industry, which was at a low ebb and, by introducing his icosahedronal prismatic barrel, put it back on its feet. In his prime he was killed, however, when he went over Niagara Falls in one of his revolutionary barrels while attempting to prove 11011 that it was shock proof, water proof, lice tested, and resistant to corrosion. Porter, on the other hand, inherited his father's slide rule and block and tackle and lived in Meriden. He married the only local girl, name unknown, and died of old age at forty. Speaking of old age, we noticed the picture of Grandpaw Grovey Bryant, who at one time was the oldest living graduate and member of the Class of 19416. He faced life in his childhood haunts as a painter of fine ceilings. When he died at ninety-eight, he was 4'Gramp to half the population of Fair Haven, Vermont. Another lengthy specimen was Bill McKinley, who went to the north woods with his size fourteens and stamped out forest fires. With Bill Robes' teach- ings fresh in his memory, he completed his patented Acme Shoe Stretcher. A In the athletic world, two 46'ers became well- known throughout the country. They were ,lim Kelly and Al Lewis. After an extra year at K.U.A., Lewis became a wrestler, recognized as Ruthless Lewf' He died of an infected hang nail received at the hands of a newcomer- Henry Russell, we think. '6What-a-Man Kelly, on the other hand was made commissioner of baseball at fifty. Rookies of those days well remember his spirited cry of Wear a cap, young mania' Reaching fame through politics, John Piane attained a position in the Senate through his membership in an undying effort for the Stray Bovine Party, known to many as the Knee- Deepers. He burst into headlines when he fili- bustered for four days in the defense of the en- largement of girls' schools. Coming to the last page of the yearbook, our eyes rest upon the likenesses of the only two '46 graduates who ever reached foreign soil. Mike Peacock was the Ambassador to the U. S. from England. Before he died of hemlock in his tea, he could be seen daily walking down Washing- ton Boulevard in his oxfords, leading his Eng- lish bulldog and munching an English muffin. Last of the class was Austin Wise, who was re- ported to have moved to Arabia and to have lived the peaceful life of a sultan. When Pasha Wise got word of Piane's speech for the enlarge- ment of girls, schools, he quoted, Fic,-Well said! So we close our crumpled yearbook and offer a minute of silent prayer in tribute to the gallant Class of 1946, who certainly carried on the versatile traditions of their beloved Alma Mater through a long and lively generation. .diifiiifi 3 f't7fN'f fT'frzvf-effffvliwemrzy ,N f '15 s 9. 3' Q, fmt 'fS'fI-'55, Vg, .fha .1352 121 igffifz-1 1- - Y ff-'s.112.fsiiail - .,-asvzfsffvi-,f--1 -' ',.5.x-szififi' f '- ,,..,., .,.,, .,.. - We-f..,f-:tV,s..f, s - t , if . ms- . .- Q, --1.

I 1051 4 1., L f X1 THE POTATO PICKERS Une Hundred Thirty-Three Years of Kimball Union Upon the return of Ernest Sherman to Kimball Union last fall as Historian and Alumni Secre- tary, we immediately became more conscious of the long but little known traditions of our school. Mr. Sherman has given a number of lectures on the history and growth of Kimball Union in the chapel sessions on Monday and is engaged in arduous research preparatory to writing an ex- 27? haustive history of the school. Feeling that Kim- ball Union graduates would like as a permanent possession the story of the development of this institution, the Concordia,, staff asked Mr. Academyf, which signifies the union of the min- isterial associations of the whole of New England, was prefixed the word Kimball in honor of the Honorable Daniel Kimball of Meriden, the prin- cipal benefactor of the infant institution. The first classes to be educated in Meriden graduated in 1816 under the instruction of Otis Hutchins. His short administration was followed in quick succession by those of ,lohn L. Parkhurst and Israel Newell. The untimely death of Daniel Kimball in 1817, the Dartmouth College Case from 1815 to 1819, and a fire which levelled the first Academy in 1823 were three blows which al- most ended the young school. The second academy building was erected in 1824, four years after the hotel which was to house so many students for generations. Fire again brought disaster in 1839 when the second academy building was partly destroyed. However, ..., l ,- . . 1.5, P : .f ,- Sherman to write the following short historical sketch. Founded in 1813 by a group of distinguished citizens and church men to prepare Poor, pious young Christian gentlemen of promising talents for the Gospel Ministry, Kimball Union has had a long and useful career. To the name S'Union new hope was brought to the school, since Mrs. Hannah Kimball, the widow of the late Daniel Kimball, gave funds for the establishment of the female department of the school. The third build- ing was erected, preserving the remaining por- tion of the second as a north wing. This building H071 was to remain for many years until it, too, was destroyed by fire in 1891. The fourth headmaster, Cyrus Smith Richards, a graduate of Kimball Union and Dartmouth Col- lege, was to have a long and brilliant career over the thirty-six years from 1835 to 1871. In those days from Meriden went forth senators, gover- nors, doctors, lawyersimen and women who were to be very famous in their day. Richards gathered around him a creative faculty whose books, written at Kimball Union for Kimball Un- ion students, were to be widely used in the sec- ondary schools for thirty years. The high stan- Headmasters John E. Goodrich, Lewis A. Aus- tin, George J. Cummings, Marshall R. Gaines, David G. Miller, William H. Cummings, and Er- nest R. Woodbury followed as headmasters dur- ing the next thirty-six years. These gentlemen faced a serious problem in the growth of the local high schools, which more and more restricted the number of towns which would send their youth to Meriden, especially since there was no railroad line into the town. The years 1890-1900 were critical in the school's history. Fire in swift destruction levelled the old hotel which had become the property of ...LA-nal-gg, dard of scholarship and Christian living and the excellence of the oral English which had its base in the active old debating societies, the Phila- delphian for the boys and the Minervian for the girls, became the hall mark of a Kimball Union graduate. Harmony in school, village, and the Board of Trustees marked that long and construc- tive administration of Cyrus Richards. One cannot speak of the history of the school without mentioning the fact that Kimball Union sent over 200 young men into the Civil War, over half of whom were to become oilicers, five of them generals. One-quarter of the total were to die in the struggle: so great was the contribution to an ideal. the school, the old academy building, and the splendid white church. The school, under the leadership of the headmaster and through the generosity of its staunch friends, erected the first Dexter Richards Hall and Baxter Hall. The town was also able to replace the charred ruins of the old white church with the present stone church. Another characteristic of that period was the institution of the so-called 35100.00 plan, through which the school made it possible for many poor young men and women to obtain their preparatory education. They could not other- wise have done so. Given that stimulus, large numbers came to Meriden from New Hampshire and Vermont towns which had no high schools. 51081 ln i905 Charles Alden Tracy, K.t'.A. '93, the second of the great headmasters of Kimball lin- ion. carrie to Meriden. During l1is administration the school lnade great strides forward. Despite the critical difiiculty of competing in the educa- tional field with the elaliorate schools that had sprung up in the period after the l irst World War, at the end of his long period of service Mr. Tracy left the school in the possession of many' new buildings and much valuahle auxiliary equipment. among them Bryant Hall, the Powers Athletic lfield. the Silver Gymnasium. the liarnes l.ihrary. the Tracy Cottage, the Hall ffarm. and the Lang Swimming Pool. It was in these days that llaxter Hall acquired the graceful white tow- er. our first thought as the syrnhol of Kimball llnion. When in I935 Mr. Brewster heeanie headmas- ter. the Trustees found it necessary to discontin- ue the girls' boarding department. The wooden Dexter Richards was replaced hy a new fireproof huilding. The enrollment has risen from 35 lioys to lull, only to stop there during war time hecause of limitations which made it necessary to call a halt to expansion. The new athletic field, flhellis Hall, Kilton House, the Huse House, Barton House, the ,lones House, the athletic: field house have lieen ohtained during hir. llrewster's first ten years of administration. hlainlenance of tl1c old emphasis on sound acadenlic training hy a superior faculty has made il possihle for a sur- prisingly large percentage of' the graduating classes to enter college each year. Une cannot think hack over the last ten years without renienihcring the terrific destruction wrought hy the hurricane of lflfitl. Un that tem- pestuous night when harns were falling amid the tangle of uprooted trees and the air was full of flying hranchcs and fragnienls of slate, the lioys of Kimball l'nion were ordered to the chapel and suffered not a scratch. although some ofthe lxuild- ings were liadly damaged. Kimhall I nion has sent into the armed forces of the war recently ended hundreds of hoys, of whom nearly a score will never return. While the war was in process, Bryant Hall was turned over to the Navy, which set up at K.ll.A. the only preflight school in the country to he carried on at a secondary school. With high hopes for a glorious future which will outshinc the successes of the past and go for- ward to even greater achievements. liinihall l n- ion turns its hack on war and looks confidently' ahead in this comnieneement season of peace. iiooi STUDENT ROSTER 1945-1946 POLLY VAN TASSEL ADAMS Meriden, N.
