QIIE 1012 WALK WE WAIT OUR TURN TO WALK ITS WA Y,' NOW AT LAST THAT FATEFUL DAY HAS COME WHEN WE MUST CEASE TO TALK OF CHILDISH THINGS, BUT SPEAK AS ONE WOULD TO THE WORLD WISE AND OLD IN YEARS. WE WAIT OUR TURN TO WALK I TS WAY, ALONG A PA TH THAT GENTLY LEADS TO A A LIFE GIVEN TO DO GREAT THINGS, GREATER LIFE. AND TO NEW RESPONSIBILITIES AND HOPES INHERITED FROM THOSE WHO WENT BEFORE. WE WAIT OUR TURN TO WALK ITS WA Y,' THE PATH WAS LONG-BUT ONCE WE REACHED ITS END WE CAN ONLY SMILE AND LAUGH, REMEMBERING WHEN WE WERE FREE AND FULL OF DREAMS, AND HOW WE WASTED PRECIOUS TIME. WE MAY WALK SLOWLY AND DRAG OUR STEPS, REMEMBERING THE PAST, AFRAID OF TIIE FUTURE, BUT THEN, AS WE GLANCE PAST THE ENDING PATH, A NEW HORIZON QUICKENS OUR PACE AND WE GAIN NEW HOPE AND FEARLESSNESS IN LEAVING. 10 Adrienne Lee Bevis Q X 'N Y x I 'XX K ,A vfiw- A: .if . , Xi ..

Books are keys to wisdom's treasure: Books are gales to lands of pleasure. A wie: .ff i we K xQ..w'r? Y 4 We find a certain Knox alumna-a graduate of '54-poking in and among old trunks and boxes in an attic room. Her small daughter is helping her to find whatever she is seeking, and eventually they do find the object of their search. Having uncovered a very fat looking scrap book filled with clippings, programs, pictures and the like, we see our ex-Knoxite open the book to the first page, on which is a picture of the Senior Class of '54. Let us snoop a bit further and move closer to hear what the mother is going to say to her-prospective Knox daughter. Looking fondly at the photo of the Seniors she begins- SEPTEMBER 29-I remember it all so clearly. The 50th Anniversary Senior Class came back to Knox that day. We arrived a day early in order to get ourselves and the school prepared to meet the new students and the old under-classmen. SEPTEMBER 30-The next day the rest of the school arrived. We did a good job of greeting those frightened new girls, I remember. Made them feel right at home from the first. We knew then we were really seniors. OCTOBER 1-Oh, it was so hard getting up at 7 o'clock that first day of classes. The first real hint of autumn was in the air as I got up to close the window. Those radiators never seemed to work when you wanted them to! OCTOBER 19-Song Day at Knox! All the new girls had to know the school songs--or else. Most of them didn't, and that's where all the fun began. OCTOBER 24-The Holbrooks came to Knox to portray four famous scenes from four different plays. I remember being tickled to death to be able to help behind the scenes-working the lights and curtain-because afterwards, as I had been hoping, I was introduced to them. OCTOBER 29-Initiation day was always a high- light at Knox. We would all file down stairs into the Rec Room, giggling self-consciously and telling all the new girls to be quiet. It was sup- posed to be a very serious affair, of course, and then we would all go into complete hvsterics when the K. A. A. board came in wearing the most ridiculous-looking ghost costumes. Then followed all kinds of scary initiations. NOVEMBER 14-That night Bernice Kenyon, who used to go to Knox before my time, read some of her lovely, oetry to us. NOVEMBER ISF,-gfhat night in Vespers we had a Code of Iblaor Candle Light Service to initiate our bra, new honor system. It was a wonderful serviq? remember. We all felt so proud of being the class to initiate such a step forward in our student government. NOVEMBER 21-A large group of Hamilton boys came over and we had a marvelous supper and informal dance. It was especially wonderful for me, for that's how I met your father. 44- 0UR1954 NOVEMBER 25-The first play of the year, St. Patrick's Day by Sheridan, was the silliest thing I ever saw-one of those crazy farce things where you split your sides laughing and sort of roll out of the door when it's all over. NOVEMBER 26-Thanksgiving Day! Always a mound of wonderful food, but that year for some reason it tasted better than ever before. I think, if I remember correctly, I had exactly five helpings of everything. Isn't that awful! As a matter of fact, I weighed myself afterwards and found I'd gained fifteen whole pounds. I was on a diet then, too. NOVEMBER 28-The Fall Horse Show was mar- velous that year. Everyone did so well-even the beginners. The advanced riders for qualified, as they were calledj did some really wonderful jumping. I think I held my breath every time one of them jumped over a fence. I was really petrified someone was going to break her neck. A very good baritone, I think his name was Walter Scheff, came to school that night to put on a benefit concert. We really thought he'd be one of those long-haired typesg but he surprised us all, for he turned out to be quite charming, and had a really good voice, too. He pleased us even more by singing many of our favorite songs. Yes, that was quite a night! DECEMBER 4-Aquacades were always fun at Knox. I wasn't much of a swimmer, so I just sat and watched the whole show. It was a very beautiful one-a water ballet type of thing. DECEMBER 12-Bevel was always one of the most beautiful things I remember about Knox. The whole school joined in to make it what it WHS- and it was really something! It included every- thing-from a big feast in a medieval manor to a Nativity scene, and everyone in school joined in to make it good. DECEMBER 16-Christmas Vacation always had the most wonderful way of rolling around just when you needed it most. You would forget your complexion and diet awhile, for new, more immediate problems would take their place, such as what to take with you, or what to wear to the Groton-St. Mark's dance. JANUARY 5-There was always one bad thing about vacations. They always ended eventually! Coming back was never really bad, though. There were always so many things to tell your friends, and the new dress you couldn't wait until Sunday to put on. JANUARY 9-S. A. T. Day. How we all dreaded it! JANUARY 22-The Roses and Whites had a big swimming meet. Of course I was there rooting for my team, and my roommate was there root- ing for her teamg the whole thing was all very exciting. JOUllNAL JANUARY 30-FEBRUARY 3-EXAMSH! How we did cram! FEBRUARY 4-If we hadn't had Long Weekend after Exams, I think the whole school would have had nervous breakdowns. My parents actually ran the other way when I got off the train in Grand Central Station. I guess I did look pretty awful with those huge bags under my eyes, and somehow in my foggy state of mind I had forgotten to take the curlers out of my hair that morning! FEBRUARY 26--Carnival Weekend was one of the best events that happened during the school year. The dates would usually arrive sometime late in the afternoon. That night there was usually a play and some other entertainment, and then after that Call of twenty-five minutes or sol dancing to the tunes of various, obviously dusty records. That last year the Dramatic Club put on the play Bessie the Bandit's Beautiful Baby, which was the biggest howl in ages. I don't think I've ever laughed so hard at anything in my.whole life. On Saturday there was a big Riding Exhibi- tion in the afternoon. It was fun as always. I That night was the formal dance itself with the crowning of the queen and her attendants That dance was so lovely and everyone had such fun! FEBRUARY 28 Robie gave a most inspiring talk on keeping Lent in a positive rather than a negative way and we went out resolved to put into practice the five points she stressed MARCH 13 College Board Day! MARCH 16 We certainly were happy when Spring Vacation finally arrived but we were all so ex hausted after Boards and the like we didn t know what we were saying When I met Daddy at the station I remarked that he was getting to look more like Napoleon all the time I didn t mean to say that at all He looked at me as though I were crazy or something MARCH 30 We came back after two glorlous weeks of fun and relaxation' APRIL 18 We were at school on Easter Sunday I thought it would be dreadful being away from home over Easter but Roble our class advisor gave a stirring service that night during vespers which moved me deeply Afterwards Pioble had an exhibition of her many rare antique crosses that she has collected in her travels around the world APRIL 23 Another A uacade sprang up suddenly and turned out to e so beautiful that it was almost saddenmg MAY 5 Senior Day A very special day when the Seniors were excused from all classes to have a day to do as they pleased. The highlight of it was a picnic. We had so much fun! MAY 7-The night the Colgate Glee Club came to sing for us was a time I shall never forget. Frankly though, I hardly heard a word they sang-I was thinking only of the dance our Glee Club was to have with them afterwards. MAY 15-The Spring Horse Show was held out of doors as the weather was balmy. Everything looked gay and colorful! MAY 30-Our Baccalaureate Service was held at the Presbyterian Church. The service was simple and very appropriate-and we all walked out with the feeling that we had just received a valuable piece of advice-to keep with us all the years to come. That night the Seniors gave their annual Candlelight Service. We all walked out into the night singing, carrying our lighted candles, and feeling peaceful and somewhat saddened by the memorable service. MAY 31-JUNE 2-Exams again! JUNE 2-That was a busy day. The Senior Ship was launched in the morning, and that night the K. A. A. banquet was held. The banquet was fun even though we did have to wear formals. JUNE 3-The day before Graduation was one of the most eventful days of the entire school year There were the team crew races and the very gay song contest in the morning a tasty lunch eon for the seniors at noon and the last chapel and awarding of various cups and awards ln the afternoon Later on in the afternoon there was a tea held in honor of the seniors and their parents All of these events were wonderfully enjoyable but sad too for they were the last to happen That night the Glee Club-and we seniors in our hearts sang a little farewell to Knox and gave its last concert of the year After that we had our unforgettable lantern parade where the Juniors became Senlors and the Seniors took their first step lnto the pro verblal tomorrow JUNE 4f- The big day finally did arrive even though we had expressed disbelief ln the past that it ever would come Everything was all topsy turvy and lt wasn t until I lined up for the last time with the others that I began to feel normal again Within a few mlnutes I would leave Knox forever but for that moment I was still one of them and I felt terribly happy and proud to be among them still a part of Knox There were many other events that took place that year that aren t here in my scrapbook things I ll never forget memorles forever pasted within Lhe leaves of th1s book and in the recesses of my eart But these experiences aren t all in the past for I ll be living them over again when you too are a Knox student 415 . . . , ..

Then there was the phenomenal election of a woman Presi- dent. The Iron Curtain was dissolved by a chemi- cal application of concentrated good will. Flights bo the moon and surrounding planets have created a new sensation. Albert Einstein's theory of rela- tivity was proven erroneous by a mechanical exchange student from Mars. Perhaps the greatest change in the past ten years has been a conversion from the international languages, French and English, to Bebop. I, myself, have been to many exciting and mysterious places, have covered news stories from mice to Mars, and have reviewed books and plays and other entertainment suitable for the public. My travels have included such places as Mongolia, Antarctica, the newly risen Atlantis, the moon, and various planets. During the past ten years I have met many of my old classmates-some married, some in high positions, and others pursuing various careers. Cn many different occasions I have interviewed them personally. I shall begin by relating to you all the atest scoops in the vicinity of New York City. After months of snowbound seclusion, Louise Brown, the noted writer and poet, has arrived in the city with her new manuscript. She is emulating her idol Henry David Thoreau. A few nights ago I reviewed a new Broadway hit starring none other than Sylvia Smith, who wrote, produced, and directed it. At the premiere, I ran into Sophie Diamantis, just arrived from England, where she had been visiting an old classmate. She had been in the headlines as a result of her dramatic oration delivered from a soa box in Hyde Park. This ora- tion was a valiant plea for the establishment of a recreation fund for Greek sailors. Also present were the New York socialites, Misses Joanne Braatz and Ellen White, who have been very suc- cessful in the founding of their Elanze School for Young Ladies. The girls, I hear, have a very difficult life-men teachers, breakfast in bed, dances weekly, and imported uniforms from the newly established fashion center, Prague. I was sent to Europe in the early summer to report on various activities and to journey through numerous countries to seek vital and interesting news material. On the atomic plane which I took, there were several notables worth mentioning. Nanci Imboden, the captain of the internationally recognized Mongolian Hunt Team, was also journeying to Europe for the opening season of the Interplanetary Horse Show. Ruth Ketay was enjoying a three months' trip to Europe, expenses ll C0 paid, her reward for having won the National Modeling Contest. After her vacation Ruth plans to begin her career as a Pullover Model. Of course, all of us have heard of the famous commercial for Tickle Pink Soap. Perhaps you have been puzzled by the accompanying hysterical laughter which tickles people. The sound effects are projected by none other than Mary McKeever, who also was on this trip. On to England. Arriving in England, I was immediately invited to a ball given by the wife of the American Am- bassador, Judy Gillson. The occasion was the celebration of American independence from Eng- land. Present at this ball was Madame Fifi, wife of the prominent French lawyer. Also present was the wife of the German Ambassador, the former Roxanne Hensle, who met her husband while translating German at the U. P. While in Paris I went to an Art Exhibition showing a collection of the drawings by the famous surrealist, Mary Jo Eastman. She has been widely acclaimed for her work on schoolday abstractions. I made a quick flight to Switzerland to cover the World Wide Ski Tournament. Lynn Prior was a stellar attraction, as she has recently startled skiing enthusiasts the world over by making the first solo run down Anapurna. I was interested in learning how such a busy woman has so success- fully combined a skiing career with acting as man- aging agent for the renowned athlete Mike Stewart. Journeying from the Swiss Alps, I proceeded to Egypt on my way to darkest Africa. While I was venturing out one moonlit evening, I saw Sally Chambers huddled beside a pyramid, writing letters by a flickering flashlight. I stopped and chatted with her till the late hour of 10:30. I had asked her to whom she was writing, and she said Ann Polak. I further questioned her and found that Ann, having realized her ambition of 'oining the Army, was now traveling through far Tlibet as interpreter for the renowned General Bo umpo . Braving the deep African jungles, ly finallmy caught up with Lee Strain and Anne Wilcox. Dr. Strain and Nurse Willy, as the natives call her, are both doing missionary work among the natives. They are noted for their tireless efforts in attempt- ing to wipe out the deadly virus Knoxitis, which has become a growing menace in the last ten years. It is now prevalent among inhabitants of a certain Long Island village. I was recalled to America to cover the news in Washington because the reporter of the Washing- ton area was in the hospital exchanging his heart for a new one. That's another new discovery in medicine. Arriving at 6:00 in the morning, I bumped into the night watchman. When I re- LD HAPPE THE covered, I found it to be Bette Vogt, who had just recently been given the position because of her outstanding training. During my stay in Washing- ton several awards and trophies were awarded. The First Lady President of the Grange, Nancy Leavenworth, was presented with a trophy f'or her work in the field of Husbandry. Up to date she has an impressive collection of farmer friends whom, she says, she has been accumulating since school days. The newly chosen Mother of the Year, Linda Larrison, was also in Washington. She is the proud parent of new triplets, which, when added to her family of nine, give her the right to the slo an Cheaper by the Dozen. Before leaving Washington for a new assignment, I ran into Wendy Kalman. She told me that be- cause of her athletic ability and her love for ani- mals she has been assigned by the Republican Party to train the elephant for his role in the coming campaign. At the request of Miss Kalman, a rare white elephant was imported from India. Next, I had to investigate an invention newly arrived from South America, so I jetted down to New Orleans. Once there, I went to interview Irene Berrizbeitia who is sales promoter for Sissy George, a thriving banana plantation owner in Brazil. Sissy has revolutionized the helicopter industry with her ingenious Flying Banana, in which she makes daily excursions over her pros- perous banana lands. Irene had been successfully promoting the sale of this amazing invention in the U. S. A. From New Orleans I went to Hollywood to the premiere of Nancy Swift and her partner in their new dance show at the Inter-Solar Hotel. Every- one en'oyed the show-even the stately Pluto- nians. From a fellow associate I received the news that the new woman tennis champion of the world is Gail Laube. The match was held in Australia, and although Australia is only ten hours away from Los Angeles, I just couldn't make it in time to catch the Super Duper, an express airliner to the East. Also from a fellow reporter I learned that Pudgie Stevenson is the head of the Synchronized Swimming Team. He said she was headed for the Samoan Islands to give an exhibition for the natives. She brought with her an exclusive bath- ing suit designed by the highly accredited fashion designer Ranita Eastman, to keep the swimmer above water at all times. Today I finally satisfied my curiosity as to whose smile it was which I continually saw around the planet on billboards, on subterranean vehicles, and in interplanetary magazines advertising ladies' chlorophyll agar. I found the smile to be none other than that of Bobby Lou Babcock. The Super Duper had to make an emergency landing in Wyoming because of a blasted jet. The plane landed on a private field owned by a rancher who bred horses for all purposes. I was quite sur- prised to meet Alix Belford, the owner. She told me of a new species of horse she had recently de- veloped. This new type of horse is black with red polka dots. She said she called the horse Red Mask because the horse has a black face and red eyes. When the jet was repaired, I said goodbye to Alix and headed for Chicago. In Chicago, Linda Wachsman was making the headlines. For some obscure reason of her own she has just completed a ten year course in Mechanical Engineering and is receiving her well earned diploma. I had to return immediately to New York City because of the reconvening of the U. P., or the United Planetations. The glamorous Maria Ville- gas was gracing the U. P. Forum as a member of the Polar Bear delegation from the Antarctic. She was elected because of her unusual ability to adapt herself to foreign customs. Later, as I was driving down Fifth Avenue in my jetmobile, trying not to exceed the supersonic speed limit, I was stopped abruptly by a barrier across the street. A parade! And who should be the high stepping young woman leading the band? Terry Stevens, of course, and behind her a ten foot banner reading, Sup- port the Diamantis Benefit for Greek Sailors. After the parade I continued my speedy trip along the river until I reached West Point on the Hud- son, where I met Beth Hubbell. She was signing autographs after the enthusiastic reception given her and her troupe by the corps of cadets. Her traveling variety show has won nationwide ac- claim for its unique style of entertainment. I had to return to the City to report on the Teachers' Convention. They were electing the Teacher of the Year when I arrived. Now who do you suppose was chosen? Madamoiselle Gonzales. She was chosen because of her exceptional methods of teaching the French language to young and old a ike. I will have to close this pleasant chat because I must prepare my news column for the day. My assistant, Anabelle Loeffler, is diligently mixing the papers on my desk, trying not to disturb me, searching for an article. I also have an appoint- ment with the noted psychiatrist Dr. Marcia Hill. I must see her every month to remain on this straight and narrow path, otherwise, the mental strain of recounting such events as these might prove fatal to me. Signed-ADRIENNE LEE Bavrs of The World Bugle last will anh We, the Anniversary Class, of The Knox School of Cooperstown, New York, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and fifty-four, leave as solemnly as possible.

JUDITH GILLSON FIFTY YEAR The Knox School was founded fifty years ago in 1904 at Briarcliff Manor, New York, by Mary Alice Knox, who had previously been head of tl1e Emma Willard School at Troy, New York. Upon the death of Miss Knox in 1911, Mrs. Louise Phillips Hough- ton took over the school. After the building at Briarcliff was destroyed by fire in February 1912, Mrs. Houghton incorporated thc school and moved it to Brookside Park, Tarrytown-on-Hudson, where the school steadily developed and within eight years outgrew the Tarrytown buildings. Mrs. Houghton was fortunate to find a spacious sun-filled building known as the Otesaga Hotel in Cooperstown, New York, and the school opened there in October 1920 with a greatly increased enroll- ment. During the past thirty years, more than three thousand students have received an important part of their education in the beautiful surroundings of the Leatherstocking country made famous by James Fenimore Cooper. Keeping pace with the changes in educational organization and control, The Knox School in 1924 was chartered as a non-profit educational institution governed by a Board of Trustees which always includes some alumnae. While the school was still at Tarrytown, Mrs. Houghton introduced such Knox traditions as our Senior Pledge, the Christmas Bevels, Carnival, the launching of the Senior Ship, and Lantern Nightg and it was through her inspiration that the Bose and White teams were initiated. All of these traditions are held close to the hearts of all those who have graduated from Knox and are memories to be cher- ished long after school-days are left behind. Knox is well known for its extensive sports curriculum and is justly proud of the fact that Knox was the first girls' school in the country to introduce skiing as a part of its sports program, also, it brought skiing to Cooperstown. In 1948 Mrs. Houghton retired and became President Emeritus, and Mrs. Alexander Stewart Phinney, Associate Principal was elected Principal and continues in that capacity. While isolation has its advantages, students should be kept in touch with the stream of modern thought in music, literature, art, science, national and world events, and politics. The Knox School has been able to do this over the years by bringing distinguished guests to the school. The aim of the school is to be college preparatory, although it offers a general course for those who do not wish to enter college as 52 AT KNOX well as an advanced course of electives beyond high school. This ad- vanced course provides a curriculum equivalent to the freshman and sophomore years of college, or, if a girl desires, allows her to specialize in such fields as secretarial studies, music, fine arts or household arts. Girls who have completed the terminal course are now occupying positions of note and outstanding offices in Cooperstown, such as those of county offices, medical secretaries, and bank secretaries. During past years the Knox School has sent students to Mt. Holyoke, Smith, Vassar, Wellesley and other leading colleges and universities: also, to such junior colleges as Bradford, Centenary, Finch and Pine Manor. Many students have entered such vocational schools as Bouve-Boston School of Physical Education and Rhode Island School of Design. We, the class of '54, feel that some special tribute is due Mrs. Marie K. Harmon, who retired last year but who, previous to her retirement, was head of the English department of Knox for twenty-nine years. She was graduated Phi Beta Kappa from Syracuse University and is a learned Shakespeare Scholar. She was one of seven teachers in this country selected to compile lesson plans for the Atlantic Monthly educational department. Mrs. Harmon was a great teacher in every sense of the word and endeared herself to the hearts of all her students. They k11ew her as a constant source of inspiration and as a devoted friend and helper. r' Many of our Alumnae will remember with deep affection and appre- ciation Miss Mabel Whitman, who for over twenty years was the Director of' our Junior Departmentg Miss Elizabeth White now re- tired and living in Hartford, Connecticut, who guided our financial ship of state so ably including those hard depression yearsg, Miss Cornelia Dismukes one of America's great pianists and teachers, favorite student of Leschetizky, 11ow retired and living in Phila- delphia, Pennsylvaniag and many other outstanding teachers of the past a11d the present who have served The Knox School faithfully and loyally through the years. As the school has progressed, the need for a campus more readily accessible to students and visitors, and one which will be a permanent home for the school, became apparent. Accordingly, in August 1953 the alumnae and the Board of Trustees purchased a beautiful estate of sixty acres on Long Island Sound. We know that with the rich heritage and high principles which have been so much a part of the Knox ideal, Knox will continue to grow and will remain an Alma Mater which we are proud to call our own. 53 6 fx y.

I wanted this dream horse so badly one day, I went to my bedroom and knelt down to pray. Please take me to dream land and help me to find That beautiful dream horse, loyal and kind. As dream land appeared, I found myself there Looking for something, but didn't know where. I wanted a dream horse but where could I go? I had to find someone that maybe would know. Before I could think or let out a sigh, A little old man came wandering by. He saw me and said in a sorrowful way, I have a dream horse I must give away. I ran to his side and answered in glee, A horse you are giving, giving to me? Then he was mine, all just for me, That man didn't want himg I got him free. He stood like a statue a picture of fame. I called to him softly, whispered, he came. His nose to the touch was like velvet I'd say, And his glistening coat was a golden array. His head was just perfect, his eyes were so clearg Full of that trust, and the want of me near. I stood for a moment, hands at my side, Then leaped on his back-off for a ride. He sprang to alertness and pranced there in place, Then I gave him the word and we were off like a race A race from the fastest of birds that could fly, A race just for fun, my dream horse and I. I cherished the movement of his long reaching strides. I felt steel like muscles bulge in his sides. His tail was as white and as pure as the snow, And flew out behind him as onward we'd go. Soon his stride shortened, his pace became slow, And ever so softly I called to him whoa. He came to a halt and tossing his mane He bent down on one knee and off him I came. I stood there beside him as proud as could be, It was time now to leave him, his time to be free. Morning was coming and soon would be here, So I whispered good-by to my dream horse so dear. I'll see you tomorrow when night slips around, And once more I'll ride you, my horse that I found. BOBBY LoU BABCOCK 63 'G ,,..f' K-ns ,Z Firxl lfmr: Lynn T'rinr, Alix T31-lf'm'cl.

THE GLEE CLUB THE GLEE CLUB AND CHAPEL CHOIR A wonderful year has gone by for our Glee Club. We have laughed to- gether, and even though it sometimes seemed as though we would never hit the right note, we have enjoyed every minute of it. Under the helpful direction of Miss Brosius and Miss Conklin we have rehearsed for our three concerts, the first before Christmas, the second just before spring vacation, and our last on the night before Commencement. The members of our Glee Club feel that this organization is one of the most valuable at Knox in that we try to give pleasure to others as well as to ourselves. 70 N Q , iii-s4.M.....Mf Q- .hi in '53 ' S A K as :-' ii ., A 1, 1 Q A 5 ' y , l y yr y. -W ga. in . - ' like l' 1 I , X SR ii 'Y ff S X W' 'X' Firsl Row: Nanry llaberle.
