When we entered four years ago, the schoolfsj were just beginning a new era of coordinate education, though we had to wait until we were juniors until we could attend mixed classes, in the fall of 1970 there was no energy crisis, we went off daylight savings time in October and did not return until the following spring. The Chaffee buildings were sparkling new and the pool Qand a co-ed swim teamlj was still a dream. Spring Day was still a Chaffee affair, the Loomis-Chaffee Log was just emerging, a joint year- book was two years in the -future. Though we were still Loomis and Chaffee, ours was the first class in which the girls spent all four years on the Island. Politically we reflected our society, with increasing awareness of ourselves, most of us became emotionally involved in the growing opposition to the war in Vietnam, though there were some hopes for peace . . . We'd never heard of Watergate, few had heard of ITT, and Spiro Agnew had become a household word, impeachment was just a word in our American history texts. As far as school politics were concerned, there was a Loomis and a Chaffee Senate and a dying Loomis Student Council. The seminars were still a year in the future. Just surviving in this world and on this campus we were learning to adjust to change. Yet when we returned in the fall of our senior year, it seemed as if perhaps the clock was being turned back, there was increased talk of the fifties. In fact a course comparing 1956 and 1974 was being offered. Boarders had to attend three family style dinners a week, juniors found they had to go to breakfast for the fall term, and every boarder had to be up for an eight o'clock room inspection. Surely time seemed to be repeating itself when the joint Loomis-Chaffee Student Council sponsored a talent show and debated having a spring PROM!! And with the Flush of October 9th we were convinced that the faculty really had returned to the days of beating the bushes for liquor, cigarettes, girls, and dirty magazines . . . The fac- ulty debated whether or not to reinstate term exams and voted to go back to a five point grading system. Four years ago, only two seniors elected to take a year off before college, this year nearly a dozen. The happenings of one particular school year cannot be isolatedg what happened this year on the Island is in large part a product of what has gone on before-last year, our freshman year, and many years before any of us came to Loomis. To put this year 1973-74 in perspective we have chosen to present a short essay on the years 1955-56, the years in which most of the seniors were born-1965-66, the year most of us were ten years old, and 1970-71, our freshman year. And like most years, this year was a mix of the old and new, the traditional and the experimental. Life is more than just a series of cycles in which history repeats itself. We do return to some ways of the past periodically to meet present needs just as we devise new customs and attitudes and values and ways of behaving to meet old needs.

It has been said that the major problem at Loomis during the war was the 3 F's-food, fuel, and faculty. . . .The food and fuel situation was handled at Loomis as well as at any school because Mr. Morse tthe Business Managerj gave unlimited time to the government regulations and Mr. Batchelder tHeadmasterJ had a basic belief that uthe simpler life that has been forced upon us has great values if we want them . . . The faculty problem, however, challenged Mr. Batchel- der's ingenuity as he utilized former Loomis students awaiting their call to duty, tandj faculty wives. . . In many ways the school life was different during the Second World War. Again, from The Harvest ofOur Lives, The most insistent pressure from the students arose from the need to graduate before entering military service. This occasioned commencements in the middle of the year and at the end of summer school, in addition to the June graduation. While the courses remained the same, school life changed in many ways. Athletic contests with other schools ceased and club competition increased, based on the healthy background of rivalry al- ready in existence. A commando course was laid out, students took over the pantry jobs-which one student found his most valuable training at Loomis for army service-, potatoes were picked-with some confusion-at neighboring farms by both Loomis and Chaffee students, and a group became Medical Aides at the Hartford Hospital. Again, as in the first World War, a military unit was formed which drilled, paraded, and learned military fundamentals. There was little leisure in this war period at Loomis and less time could be devoted to cultural mat- ters. . . Q 4 N 2. Ai' -3 Q.

The class of 1974 was born in a year of national growth, one of international turmoil. Eisenhower was elected in November by a landslide victory over Adlai Stevenson after going through an ileitis attack and heart attack in the summer of 1956. Chaotic clashes in the South between white segregationists and civil rights groups led by Martin Luther King, Jr. in- creased national awareness of strained black-white situations. Hungary and Poland rebelled against Russian rule in violent bloody uprisings. Egypt seized the Suez Canal, provoking at- tacks by Britain, France, and Isereal. North and South Viet- nam planned to hold free elections on July 20 for the purpose of uniting the two countries. South Vietnam president Diem refused and sided with the U.S. and Great Britain against North Vietnam and the Communists. My Fair Lady with Rex Harrison and Julie Andrews was very popular. Dr. Billy Graham said There is no doubt we are experiencing the great religious renaissance in American his- tory. Marilyn Monroe drove people to suicide Cyes, it's truej with her gyrations, as did 21 -year- old Elvis fthe pelvisj Pre- sley on stage. Teenagers carved his name on their forearms as he wiggled through the number one song, Heartbreak Hotel . At Chaffee, Mrs. Erickson was promoted to the Director of Girls. The new Loomis hockey rink was completed in January. Rock and roll blares across the campus. The Snug was the stage of a battle in which cups, plates, pies UD and soda bottles are thrown. Nine boys were honored in the Cum Laude cere- mony. Athletic seasons were initiated with futile attempts to rid boys of their perennial content of alcohol. In June 96 boys graduated from Loomis, 17 girls graduated from Chaffee. Graduation was warm and sunny f as usual J. qgav Wh--MW 63 . .Me The mid-Sixties, a time of confrontation between the forces of tradition and change. In 1966, most of the members of the Class of 1974 were ten years old, entering the fifth grade. Even at that age we could not help but realize that the Sixties were a time of great turmoil and change. Most of us can remember where we were on November 22, 1963, the day John Kennedy was assassinated. Birmingham was behind us, Chicago and Kent State still a few years to come. Martin Luther King, Lyndon Johnson, and Barry Goldwater were the big political names in the news . . . and Vietnam was becoming an emotional is- sue for most thoughtful persons. Loomis and Chaffee were still on their own islands, but there was talk of coordination, in fact some Chaffers were bussed to the Island for Hum. Humanities became THE social event of the week, al- though the 1966 Loomiscellany reports, under Senior Superlatives, Hum to be the Pet Peeve. Other interesting superlatives included: Best Senior Privilege: Fulls and graduation, Favorite Sport: Broad jumping, toting. In October of 1966 there was a ceremony dedicating the new dorms, Flagg and Ammidon, and later that month, Mr. Grubbs, headmaster of Loomis, got Honorable Mention on Gross Tie Day. Trinity College acclaimed Surfer Joe Stookins as teacher of the year. Man From U.N.C.L.E. was the favorite TV program of Loomis and Chaffee students, often conflicting with the efforts to write required Hum papers and study for term exams which came three times a year. Chaffee had their own Spring Day and the Loomies were excused from evening meal to visit Chaffee for the afternoon. The Darwin Club had their annual carnival in the old gym, raffling off a motorcycle. Fireworks in the spring . . . and a grand sling shot capable of lobbing grapefruits from the Warham porch to the old gym. The May 14th LOG headline read: SPRING PROM! 280 MAKE IT! And the year ended with Chaffee holding its ovsm commencement at the white church on Palisado Avenue, Loomis holding its ceremony in the quadrangle. Q x K Q.. . uk. N M ...A , fl 1-5 as -A M, ' ..

Am I the same guy who received 40 hours my freshman year when I lived in a triple? Can Loomis be the same place that turned us into that dreaded person, the preppie? Who are these kids who talk about dope, Plato, and photography all in the same breath? Can this be the same school that once, not long ago, had I8 electives, 4 weekends a year, no girls? Was it all a dream? Was Vietnam, Cambodia, the Beatles all a dream too? Do These seniors know or care about prep school and all it represented? Do they know how deprived fluckyj they are?

In the history of the schools, this year was a milestoneeChaffee re- turned to the Island to be housed in a new com- plex at the south end of the campus. For the first time in over forty years, Chaffee and Loomis stu- dents were going to school on the Island, though still the freshman and sophomore classes were separated by sex. To accommodate the new fe- male members, the school went to the eleven day cycle fthe boys used to go to school every Satur- dayl. The new library was opened as was the new wing of the Clark Science Center and the new dining hall. The OKE-FUN-OKE reigned freshman year, especially after dropping money to us in the quad one sunny noontime. Section 38 formed, under the leadership C75 of Chris Wallace, and most of us were absorbed by the excitement of the Loomis- Robinson basketball game. Chaffee debated the identity issue as the girls seemed increasingly absorbed in the swirl of Loomis life . . . and the faculty and trustees debated just what the name of the school should be. It was the year of the Spirit in Flash, an undefeated Loomis track team, Once Upon a Mattress, the first Tour de Loomis and the first year of the Twilight Softball League. Both school Senates debated the issue of smoking and finally Loomis upperclassmen were given permission to smoke in their rooms. The curriculum continued to expand, but for most of us as freshmen it was English I, French or Span- ish i, Algebra I, History I and Science I . . . What's Really Going On, education, calculus, Alienation, photography and ceramics were a couple of years in the future. And some of the seniors who we remember . . . Mary Lou Lombard and Phelps Gay, Manny Weiss, Jerry Goodbody, Paul Henderson, Gail vonDohlen, Jean Farquhar, Tim Carney, Rick Doucette, Bobby Clements, Jessica Ippedico, Lou Birenbaum, Bruce Raphael, Hunt Taylor . . . 14 . ,,--.,- l 'I 1 Q - r- ' 4, - -3 ul:-I .

The election evoked little response from us. To the cry Free Angela! came the reply, Angela who? We turned away from national politics and looked more to Loomis and to ourselves. Though the out- side world was more accessible than ever before, we began to find a new sense of community here on campus. Loomis was larger, with girls and new facilities. The old Loomis was nearly goneg sex and class distinctions had dissolved as a means of separating the community . . . And more than ever we allowed our classmates to do their own thing, without fanfare or scorn. -Loomiscellany, 1971 Apathy has struck our class . . . We can't even have a prom. Yeah, ain't it great? Instead of plan- ning a prom we can climb trees or ride bikes or maybe just hug somebody. -Epilogue, 1971 The new Loomis community arises from and is based on our diversity, a di- versity brought about by our growing size, both male and female, by the widen- ing opportunities for the individuals to pursue their interests and do their own thing , by a more broad-minded admis- sions policy, and by the growing realiza- tion on the part of the faculty that its pri- mary purpose is not to impose standards and mold us into some predetermined form, but rather to help each of us find our own identity. Loomis today is a com- munity in the sense that we tolerate and respect each of the students and individ- ual teachers. -Loomiscellany, 1971 lb IU 'Quang' ' P ,-lnnnttg 'n f lOl- LV Windsor, Conn,, November 4 1970 Cke-Fu n-Oke Reign ff' ' ... ina., by Glenn Shor One Loomis senior exclaimec lt was great!

How can kissing ever be stupid? -Epilogue, 1971 Freshman year I lived in a triple with Keith Raphael and Dick Goodbody. Our room, and the freshmen on our corridor, became quite closely knit and consequently, a good part of my life was spent on the corridor. There were a lot of incidents, like the time Dave Mills and Steve Cushman had a fight and Steve passed out. Dave dragged him into the shower room, I thought with the intent of re- viving him, but Dave had no such idea. He wanted the evidence out of public view, and the shower room was the closest sanctuary-there lay Steve, sprawled out on the tiles. Or Dick's first midnight encoun- ter with the song D.O.A. that practically sent him into Keith's arms. Keith's catalogue of corridor faults, in which he tried to solve everyone's problems by listing what he considered to be the causes, brought on some snickering when it was discovered. I expect my little incident with the bass was quite humorous as well, although it didn't seem so at the time. Most of what I remember about freshman year is a string of sim- ilar stories. It is the nature of these personal stories that illustrates some of the facets of life that year. Chaffee, and school organiza- tions were non-existent to me. As years went on at Loomis, the funny stories began to include things like Chaffee and Chaffers, day students and guys from other dorms, the bookstore, the yearbook, the Log, et al. While I was adapting to the school, however, it was constantly changing. I could see shades of old Loomis coming back with upperclass dorms, 8:00 inspection, family-style dinners, and the Council even considering a prom. On the other hand, the bold liberal- ism inherent in teenagers seemed more apparent than ever in things like the Hum boycott, streaking, and firecrackers at graduation. I've spent a good part of my life at Loomis-Chaffee, and I'm sad to have the experience come to an end. It's not the prep school life I will miss, nor even my closest friends will I miss as much as the too many friends I met that I didn't really get to know, but who put an added dimension into my life that I can now reflect upon. -Alex Feldman 'I7 1 -if-1' 'ff , , M i , :M W N g A yr 51? -1' ' M1 A aff 0' ,f 7 f' in 9 ill? ...f ff . 4 , , 1' 4 64 If ,.

Sometime between early prac- tice and the first stages of the season we grew to- gether, and we stayed together as a cohesive unit the rest of the way. The season can be characterized as full of disappointments. We lost a tough game to a big, mean Kingswood squad in October. We were embarrassed by Taft in the league championship. Kent took the Spoon from us in the most evenly played game of the year, but we never came close to breaking apart and losing our ability to play to- gether. We respected each other's abilities, and con- sequently developed the fellowship that every team in any sport needs to play well. We were small fellows, used to playing against oversized behemoths. But despite our collective weight disadvantage, we out-hit most of our oppo- nents, and ran a smooth operation in the process. What was special about the team was that the players greatly enjoyed playing football with their teammates. The season was full of disappointments, but certainly it was not a disappointment in itself. 4 1 I 60 W , .. i K -ffgdimn,-1 :fa X Ji QQ! 'PQ 4. s liii fi , swf, H is-16. . .

Each girl could drive the ball well, dodges and strategies were drilled during our meager once a week prac- tice. Mentioned as one of the main reasons for our losing season in vehement Log arti- cles, the once a week practice was not enough to make eleven girls play together on the field. We seemed to lose individual talent in striving for a team strength that was not achieved. There were some outstanding players. Tracy Howe, winner of the Tiger Award, will be remembered for her incredible ag- gressiveness. A junior, she made most of our goals this season. Ann Sweet, known for con- trol and accuracy placed the ball in front of the goal many times for other forward line- smen to drive in. Hilary Meyers, along with Dale MacLachlan, was agile and played both an offensive and defensive game as half- back. Dale covered the whole field as center- half filling in for both fullbacks and forward line. Our strongest fullback, Sally Shea, pos- sessed amazing eye-hand co-ordination. She stopped and drove the ball with ease in a strong sweep. We will not be remembered as the victo- rious 1973 hockey team, we will remember ourselves as eleven spirited girls who had a great time playing together.

I was sweating nowg my fingers opened to cool off my palms and I let my head fall back to get more air. The road rose and fell, my Adidas sliced a dusty path and I tried to see ahead. But the sun was too bright. A truck was in back of me and I could imagine a determined op- ponent struggling to overtake me. Always I felt I was being chased. Get up! Mr., Bronk yelled down the corridor. I saved my shoes for last, and placed them on top of my clothes, then zipped up my suitcase. The van was warming the still September air. By eleven that morning nine varsity candidates were digging their feet into the soft Cape Cod sand. Early practice had begun, in four days on the Cape we covered over fifty miles and knit our frayed ends into a team. Before we knew it, we were into the season, the pistol sounded in the cool October wind and our bodies moved forward as our minds revolted. The spectators must often wonder what it is all about as they watch the runners shiver and dance in the wind and strip down to their paper-thin uniforms. Words of encouragement are shouted exhorting the runners to Make it hurt or Go out fast, things that every runner knows he will have to do. The first hundred yards of any race are like a dream before the pain sets in and the wearisome struggle between the body and the mind begins. We lost some early-season matches-badly. You can't blame anyone else on the team for your own poor time, we began to wonder when our moment would come. Pulling ourselves into better shape each day brought better times, and then, with the suddent upset win over Choate, the season turned in our favor. Morale restored, our strength im- proved the season paced itself and cross-country again became the fall sport most feared and re- spected by rival schools. 66 'E' I , N N WE: ai' ' 'wie . .

But nce the season began, and we beat team after team, it looked as though our po- ential was great. Our record was 4-0 when we had our biggest test against a trong Wilbraham team. The offense came through with six game-winning goals, ,nd it was as if the team had finally congealed into one, with an offense equal to .oomis's traditionally strong defense. We were full of confidence after the five onsecutive wins, having surpassed the number of games won by the previous 'ear's squad. But the harder competition was yet to come. After the first of three heart- vreakers in a row our hopes for an undefeated season were ended. The defense ield the opposing team to less than two goals per game, but it was the old story .gain. The offense did not hold up to par. The line exploded with another six goals against Avon, trying to make up for previous failures. In the last four years he offense had never recorded such performances! Unfortunately, the team was nconsistent. The line went into another slump, and the competition proved to be oo much for the defense. Ending the season 6-6-1 was quite an accomplishment, 'et still a letdown after winning only two of the last eight games. When united, we were able to overcome the opposition. Unfortunately, our mity was only apparent on the field. In the six wins the team felt a sense of ac- :omplishment and performed as a team. s ' x g .5 . f . k-k: X 5 fi S 6 I' is 5 if haf! .Aw WK 'ig sb? ig ., 3 if 4 ,K v Z Q !'i' 4, MEL 3512 Y K ' ' W H K fu if .

What was the most important thing I learned about the Wilderness? It's cruelty. On every trip Whether to nearby Ragged Mountain or to the White Mountains, my relation- ships With other people have been clarified, and I've seen the results of some of my selfish actions. I'm not sure how much I can change the ways I act, but I will be more responsible for them. Many times during the course I didn't think I was going to be able to do it. On our final trip, I'm sure we would have hiked out to a town if there had been one within five miles. It was so cold and we were really beat . . . But We kept going and when we met you at the top of Mt. Carrigain just as the sun was setting, I felt a sense of great sat- isfaction and happiness. 76 I went to the woods to lwe delzberately, to con ront the essentzal facts of lzfe . . 'i H. D. Thoreau I'm on my solo now. The woods out here are beautiful, but I feel set apart . . . that I need the products of civilizations to keep me comfortable, that I am alone here as opposed to my usual way of life. If I had a car here I would soon be forced back to civilization. I've been sitting here all day alone. It's just beginning to get dark. I just ate din- ner -one cup of Swiss Miss and two sal- tines with honey. I have only felt hunger about twice. I am just amazed at myself. I have sat and enjoyed myself the entire day with only my thoughts to keep me happy. I have come to agree with the point made so often, that the Wilderness is a place for independence and responsibility, a place to rely on oneself. I've gained so much from this sort of experience and re- flection that it seems unbelievable . . . Already I see myself doing more for myself. 77 Feeding time at the L-C Corral P Q Q 'J+Q ,A .4 'Hulbv F' gg, ,,. I , -VVh-, ii J K nv' -Q..- fl. 'PX ,V . .x Y if ,HA ,f J .E-..

Ri ,...l.- + b , N ff. wg ' Sv iw' M 3 K 5 ' 1967 The 1973-1974 varsity wrestling season was long and tough, and at times a bit frustrating, but for anyone who followed the team closely, it was a season of many happy and rewarding moments. No one can deny that the team wasn't inexperienced, but after all, there were seven returning lettermen back from last year's 5-6-1 squad to bolster what appeared at the start of this year's sea- son to be a team with fine potential but lacking in time-tested mat experience. Head coach Sam Pierson, assisted by Bruce Carlsten, was optimistic at the start of the season, and though he didn't have the likes of a Booker or Cella to draw upon in the clutch, there were many wrestlers just coming into their own, with the potential to rapidly mature into outstanding performers. Much of the heavy burden of responsibility was placed on the shoulders of the two fine Co- captains, Garth Gibson and Ed Quinn, and both responded admirably to the task, providing models of excellence both in actual competition as well as in providing strong leadership for the rest of the team. This past season was trying, especially when it came to the daily practices, for Mr. Pierson was determined to work the team. Now when the average per- son conjures up the image of a wrestler, it is usually in the form of an ogre or some giant ugly brute who lumbers around the mat in grotesque fashion. Wrestling has never been successful in divesting itself of this stigma of a bru- tal, nonmental sport, geared only for awkward apes, but those who are in touch with true wrestling well know that when perfected it is almost a form of art, and certainly a thrill to watch. This is not to say that the Loomis-Chaffee vvres- tling team has perfected the art, for a glance at the record 13-85 would seem to indicate that we are far from perfect. But wrestling is also a means to much more than a flashy record, perhaps more than any other sport, except maybe Cross-Country, wrestling is a demanding sport of the highest degree, involving total mental and physical committment. The old maxim You get out what you put in is apropos to this grueling activity, for it necessitates that one put one's whole self into it to reap the rewards if offers, and they are well worth it. One gains a great sense of self-discipline and confidence from wrestling, not the kind of confidence that smacks of pretense, but the kind of deep-rooted quiet security that lies at the heart of everyone's strivings for purpose. Thus, while coach Pierson always loves a fine team record, and that in fact is what each wrestler strives to attain, the success or failure of a single season must ultimately be measured in terms of the individual growth and devel- opment of each wrestler. While the meager 3-8 record is not much to look at, it does not reflect the closeness of many of the meets, meets which must be la- beled toss-ups . . . It was rare that we took the matches that were up in the air , and of course there were always the injuries to contend with, it seemed like this year's team had a plethora of them but they never stopped the atti- tude of determination and pride that characterized the team. Coach Pierson echoed everyone's sentiments when he reflected on the tremendous attitude of all of this year's wrestlers. There were many high points in the season and much development from many of the younger wrestlers, such as Flaherty, Pelgrift, Quinn, and of course no one can forget some of the spectacular performances by Dennis Watson, Ed Quinn, and Garth Gibson. But the little victories will go unnoticed by the rest of the Loomis-Chaffee community, victories which mean a great deal to the in- dividual wrestlers in terms of self-confidence and personal growth, and which can only come from the exhausting hard work and diligence that wrestling re- quires. Wrestling can never be called fun, but this year's season with coaches Pierson and Carlsten was full of contentment and purpose, full of individual growth and team unity. All of this is worth infinitel more than a big sparkling record, and every wrestler knew it, for as coach Pierson said, the hell with the record. 94 ,HX f, ff N54 4 95 Chaffee Varsity Volleyball went onto the courts this year knowing that they had a three year winning streak to keep up. Under that kind of pressure the girls learned to play to their highest potential, and to cooperate as a teameand as a result, Chaffee volleyball is still undefeated. Teamwork is perhaps more important in volleyball than in any other sport. Each play ideally consists of a bump-up from the back row to the center front linesman, who sets the ball up for the spike shot. A mistake which is not imme- diately covered by a teammate means a point for the opposing team. Several times this year the girls fell as far as 14 points behind Ca winning score in a volleyball game being 15 pointsl. Eventually the team positions would rotate around to put Sally Shea in the serving spot and sheld inspire the team with her serving. Once the team started talking it up and believing in themselves, no one could beat them. Hilary Meyers continually made astounding serves that whizzed over the net and amazed the other teamsg La Vent Taylor's serves and spikes were con- sistently hard and deep. All of the players were talented and well practiced- and their record of 5-0 proves it.

Competitive swimming affords little of the enjoyment that the other interscholastic sports provide. Practicing a team sport is ex- citing, even running a cross-country course gives variety, but swim- ming lap after lap in a pool for an hour and fifteen minutes with some 40 other equally exhausted individuals is horrendous. Similarly, competition in a team sport is fun, competition in swim- ming is not. It's you, the pool, and the knowledge that the guy next to you may be better than you, and that for the team to win, you must win. And then it's pure determination, endurance, and gritting of the teeth to control yourself from slowing down and easing that driving pain you must live with for a minute or two, or even six. It takes fan- tastic determination and practice to control this urge. Each swimmer must remind himself that his whole team is counting on him and watching his every move, and he must remember that when he ends the race, the pain will stop. When you lose, it's you and the pool again. You have to jump out of it, and jump out of your misery and psyche yourself up for the next race. But when you win, it's you, the pool, the cheering of the crowd, the slaps on the back from your teammates, and a feeling that maybe those long hours of hard work are somehow worth it. gi 1+-..,,-N 1. 3 my A- ' me Varsity Rifle It is difficult to speak of our season in positive terms. The team's match record 1-8 was certainly nothing less than negative. It was not a building season nor can one praise the team's great spirit and desire. The team suffered from indifference and apathy. It is appropriate to examine what caused such a breakdown of basic team structure. The present athletic administration does not consider varsity rifle as a true sport, but more of a off-Saturday skill . Thus the rifle team suf- fers from being ignored to a certain degree. The Loomis-Chaffee attitude toward the rifle team would have to be summarized as one of indifference. An athlete is a complex, sometimes illogical and usually moody person. Feelings both personal and public will tend to influence his play. We feel that the lack of public attention adversely affected this year's rifle team. To be virtually ignored by the school you represent does not produce an in- spiration to win. Another source of team embarassment is the condition of our equipment. While I admit that we have top quality rifles, I must say that the jackets are in terrible shape. They were purchased over a decade ago and have not been maintained. The administration would like to pride themselves on the appearance of Loomis athletes. I personally found it debasing and humiliating to arrive at an opponent's school looking as if I had been involved in an automobile acci- dent en route. This year's team reacted to these fore mentioned conditions in a perfectly human manner. It was as if they had said No one cares about us, so why should I? There was this year a tangible feeling of total isolation. I know of only three people who made any effort to cheer the team on, Messrs. Eaton, Currey and Enright. Granted that rifle is certainly not a spectator sport, but to the team, gestures and small words of encouragement mean a lot. The intent of this essay is to provide food for thought. We feel that if a school is to sanction the forming of a team, and then schedule an in- ter-scholastic series of meets, it should back that team completely. It is apparent that some people wish the rifle team would dry up and blow away, or at least quietly die on the range. We maintain that this should not be allowed to happen. We have the maximum of respect for the coaches of the team who have had to function for so long under these adverse condi- tions. It must take marvelous self control for a man to coach a team under an aura of such bla- tant disinterest and public apathy. -Frank Sollitto Varsity Rifle Captain 10l EE 'nv Q ,,,M,,.,,..

H f AV 2 I ,.f Mt A When I was asked to fill in as varsity basketball coach for Ben Meyers while he was recuperating from his operation, I ac- cepted enthusiastically. A quick glance at the personnel indicated a real challenge- no one over 6'3 and no great shooters of the Turner-Harris-Quish variety. Typical locker room banter between coaches went something like this, They may not be big, but they're slowf' One wiley veteran ob- server advised me to play a boy-to-mann defense instead of the more orthodox man-to-man . Our first four games before winter vaca- tion seemed to verify early predictions-we were 0-4. But in those contests the team showed some qualities that made me feel that whatever the record, this club was go- ing to have a great experience. Most of the playing time was logged by five seniors- Tom Rome, John and Penn Ritter, Pete Riddick, and Garrick Olson. Time and again they proved their determination not to give up. In addition they displayed a spirit of co-operation that is rare even for a winning team. By mid-January the record stood at 1-6, the latest defeat being a 27-point drubbing by Suffield Academy. That game marked the end of Loomis being a patsy. The team started playing better defense, taking bet- ter shots, and making fewer mental errors. For the last nine games the record was 3-6, but five of those losses came only after the Pelicans had battled bigger teams to a draw down to the closing seconds. Two late season wins were particularly satisfying: a victory over Mt. Hermon, a team that had defeated Deerfield, Andover, and Will- iston, and a drubbing of Kingswood, a team we had lost to earlier in the season. -Sam Cutler 105 The Chaffee varsity basketball team finished out its season with a very disappointing 0-8 record. Playing the games over a three and half week period, Chaffee was plagued by injuries and a shortage of substitutes. Chaffee's first game was against the American School for the Deaf. Despite valiant efforts by all those who played, Chaffee was unable to contain the other team. A.S.D. took advantage of the situ- ation with innumerable fast breaks and con- sistent play. Hosting Kent the following day, Chaffee played excellent defense but precision passing by the opposition coupled with a series of layups put the game out of reach. MacDuffie, cap- italizing on its height and outside shooting, de- feated Chaffee the following week. The Chaffers, on their home court, tried to make a comeback but were unable to convert on any of the turnovers. The next four games showed a tired and inexperi- enced team going against well-practiced and highly organized varsities. There were good ef- forts by individual members of the team but Chaffee could not get its offense to click. In the final game, the team had home-court ad- vantage over Oxford. Many spectators came to cheer them on. Rhonda Lundberg was appearing in her last game for Chaffee and this strength- ened the team's determination to win. Playing good defense and moving the ball fairly well on offense, Chaffee stayed within reach of Oxford. They played a rough defense and Chaffee had dif- ficulty moving against it as the game wore on. The confrontation was decided in the closing minutes when Chaffee was within three points of Oxford. With quick baskets and a full court press, the opposition put the game away. 106 W 'Y' 107 5 L00 -I 436 A Q 'TL if 5551: 1 X V K S .,v7', ,, ,. 0 'r .Wy lfn if X. ..,,,.,-vkqiq . t N.

To the casual observer there appears to be no pressure. He thinks They know they're better than last year so they can't do much worse this season. The differ- ence is that we know we're a lot better. But we get blown out in the tournament. One, two, three . . . we want more! scream the Westminster fans as their team thrashes the passively resisting Loomis squad. Wilbraham and Avon also beat us. Well, remarks a casual observer, is it going to be a repeat of last year? Grim gathers the troops, along with our nearly shat- tered hopes, and we start all over again. A few changes in strategy and personnel are made, morale perks up, and we work. No more stupid penalties. Stay out in front, Mike! Dammit Moonball, pass the pick! Dump it and forecheck, seconds . . . don't get caught in too deep. Center's open . . . back side . . . reverse it! You gotta talk! You gotta backcheck all the way Watch the jamming, Bimbo .... Back him up, Beebs Play the man . . Knock him down. The force and power with which the team entered the Salisbury game cured most spectators of any skepticisms as to the ability of this team. And as we came together as a team, many of the previously casual observers were transformed into screaming, board-banging fans. The success of the team should be compared to the Phoenix Bird, rising to life out of the ashes of last place to secure second spot in the league. The team's post-tournament record of 12-3-1 proved that hard practice, teamwork, a lot of self-discipline, good support from the fans and good luck with injuries can work the wonder of once again giv- ing hockey the best record of the winter.

On.--f Sf' H1001 g -f -M- 123 A very late and short spring, weather-wise, was one of the reasons for the intense happenings at Loomis-Chaffee in April, May, and June. The first hot days came in mid-April, the student body found its way outdoors in a variety of ways. In the quad, before the bell for 6th 81 7th periods after lunch, stu- dents were heard chanting Hell no, we won't go. Streakers hit the campus as ones, twos, threes, and groups, girls and boys, bicyclists and pedestrians. Streakers invaded the dining hall, Chaffee Assem- bly, Junior parents dinner, and any other gathering where attention was given to them. By May streak- ing gave way to riotous nocturnal life consisting of chants, blaring music, water balloon fights, and most audibly, firecrackers. Erupting from a combination of boredom and spring fever , spirited students looking for excitement were the cause of many fac- ulty-student discomforts, and many Dean's Com- mittee meetings. And it was at this time we began to hear talk of the Martin Luther King Center for Social Change in Georgia. It seemed we were hearing about the Cen- ter only in terms of money-bake sales, car washes, Baccalaureate donations, etc. Some students and fac- ulty were outraged. With a minimum of explanation or information about the Center and much stress on a committment of time, energy and money, a feel- ing of being cheated was expressed by some of the students. The seniors especially felt the con- tradiction in themselves at the Baccalaureate cere- mony. They realized the genuine dedication present in Coretta Scott King at the ceremony, and yet also felt that the emphasis was being put by Loomis Chaffee on their money rather than their beliefs. The ''extra-extra-curricular'' activities seemed sometimes to receive most of the attention. We might easily have lost our perspective had it not been for Anything Goes, campus bar-b-ques, sev- eral fine student recitals, twilight softball, Spring Day, a lot of class and dorm parties, and many suc- cessful teams. 124 t Q ' ca 4 4 ft? , wa l 0 Q M 4 C J 'QQ' Q ff . 4 Q -' 6 Q 9 0 4 4 , il 6 4 a very late and short spring . . . with intense happenings. 1 'IW l L GYM In the spring, as the faculty pre- pared the 1974-75 curriculum, it was proposed that a Department of Streaking be established. A sample of courses offered by this depart- ment is described here. The Streaking Department at Loomis-Chaffee has two basic aims: D To develop the individual physi- cally and emotionally, and 25 To in- crease awareness and sensitivity to others within a group situation. The experiences sought in these courses are designed to probe indi- vidual makeup. The student learns to develop personal beauty and free- dom through self-expression in the art of the flesh. Appreciation of tol- eration of physical highlights is em- phasized in encounter and visual critique exercises. Emotional reac- tions are considered carefully and used to build self-confidence, releas- ing inhibitions. Discovery of the self serves for identification with others in a homogenous group, and role play with members of the opposite sex. The student becomes integrated fully in group experience. The teacher is present at all times to act as counselor in awkward situ- ations. Applicants should realize that all exhibitions will be public and open for the entertainment of the community. 4n..'f?'LQ.. . ,47- 9 128 Streaking I frequired coursel The primary goal of this course is to give the students the knowledge and skills of streaking. It is an ac- cepted fact that the margin of de- gree of willingness to participate in class is very wide. Therefore, the majority of the first term is spent getting students to release their in- hibitions, and teaching the philoso- phy of streaking. During the winter term, while im- practical for the actual staging of events, students work on developing methods of planning, such things as out-lining routes, devising and prac- ticing quick getaways and dis- cussing the pros and cons of accom- plices are studied during this period. In addition, physical fitness is stressed and there are two to three drills a week to enable the student to become adept at the art of quick- change. The spring term is the actual events that were planned and read- ied all winter. Emphasis is on execu- tion, style, creativity, and poise. Each student is required to write a term paper with the general title Streaking is Good for the Soul. l i STREAKING II Streaking II, a direct contin- uation of Streaking I, provides a more thorough coverage of the course's philosophies. In the fall term, an in-depth history of streaking is studied, including Godivian, Venus on the Half- Shell, and other well-known masters. More advanced tech- niques such as detailed map- ping of the streakers route and variations on a clean streak theme constitute the winter term. Spring term is for indi- vidual projects and an in- tricately prepared solo streak determines half the students grade. Fl me S ef . if , STREAKINC I ADVANCED PLACEMENT fThis course requires recom- mendation from the school last attended, including at least two testimonies of previous experi- ence in streaking at a pre-high school levell This course is an acceleration of 011, and is designed for stu- dents who have already ac- quired the basic skills of streak- ing, and have overcome the initial shyness. Attention is given, as in 011 to total mas- tery of the art of streaking, in terms of self-expression and fulfillment, as well as to the study of various techniques and styles. 131 The season was one of growth: growth of abilities, a growth of maturity. But more importantly there was a growth of emotion, emotion that saved us from what might have been a losing season. It was a young and very inexperienced team that began the year, and the older members had genu- ine doubts as to the success of the team. What they feared most was that a lack of spirit would drag them down. Spirit is quite a tenuous commodity in a sport such as track in which individuals do not perform as a team but per- form as individuals. Spirit arises from a feeling for others and this feeling comes from experience, which we were lacking. This was the problem to which Mr. Eaton addressed himself prior to the Berkshire meet. He spoke of a lack of community, a problem that prevailed over the whole school. His speech was emotional, it hit everyone on the bus in such a way that there was not one cynical comment from any of the team members. When the meet started, Loomies were all over the place, cheering and screaming to the point of making fools of themselves in front of the amazed spectators. + e won by two points, and it was only long after the meet that we were told that if we performed the way we had pre- viously, we would have lost by about twenty points. The climax of the sea- son was Dennis O'Connor's clutch javelin throw that won the meet for us. lt was such an emotion-filled experience which gave such a real sense of togetherness and belonging to everyone on the team that it will remain in our memories for a long time. This emotion carried over through the rest of the season and made us what we weren't before, a team, and not just a col- lection of individuals. 132 n , 'K ,N - 'Q' 3' W' 4? ., .. 133 QW if mx in 'HIP -'N M 5, 0141 'a 5 wg Wim E -Q f ' f s 3 Nl 67' if X g Q 3 , .V P ,A . .

Kin Schildbach Sz...xdN Looking back to late February, I now find it hard to believe that the group of students that assembled in the lower meadows that brisk, Wet afternoon for pre-season practice grew to be a hard-work- ing, hard-hitting and hard-to-beat lacrosse squad. From the begin- ning, the situation did not appear at all promising, the passing was uncontrollable, the stick-work was embarrassing and most were out of wind before practice began. To the seven returning lettermen and the rookies that filled the ranks below them, the season prom- ised to be disappointing until . . . Until the painful basics of lacrosse were taught and retaught and finally left behind. As pre-season practices progressed on the Island and on the campus of Washington College, things seemed to change. No one seemed amazed when the ball rotated quickly around the EMO circle or the defense with pinpoint-passing and flawless catch- ing cleared the ball against the best of rides, each player was too in- volved in the surge of team unity and perfection to notice. The sea- son was approaching, this was the year to excel. With a unity resulting from the trip to Maryland and the ideals that each captain possessed and each player longed for, the lacrosse team became close, strong and victorious. It may have all started with a Rat-clear, but everyone on the team got into the act . . . Jon and Michael on the faceoffs, Bods running the EMO with Glenn, Moons, Rex, Cro, and Thierry all pumping in 34 goals . . . Richie, Michael, Steve and Penn on DAMD . . . and Bimbo, Kin, Jimmy, and Boo-hoo playing tight defense and helping Rat on the clear. The season exhibited the results of all the hard work, and bruised bodies that went into building this outstanding 11-Z record, a season that included big wins over major rivals that had beaten us last yearvMt. Hermon, Choate, Hall, and Hotchkiss. The final win, 6-5 over Hotchkiss was entirely fitting for typically we had to come from behind to win in the closing minutes. With the best record to their names, the team can only thank coaches Wilson and Vernon for molding what all saw that first day in February into a team of which any school would be proud. -Tim Holt - H , 'Lfayq,1, ' gl '1 f3,,'ff.--3 5 'L ' X .WY A 1- A s it +f',14-'fffIff7.gff4 m, . r j.,.,, a,.,1,L1j,,,,.a,,,f,2 Qa,g,,5-9 s.

The team's spirit was remarkably exuberant, and its skill was just as great. The team played its best game against Berkshire, with fine passing by the offense, and when a goal was made, it was well earned. Penetration through the defense was minimal. The of- fense was lead by MacLachlan who proved to be the most ver- satile player. With most of the action centered on the defense, Rene Redwood, goalie, did her best to block the continual peppering by the opposition, and Sally Shea, as defense wing made numerous saves. The team wound up its season with three wins and four losses. The outlook for next year is bright, with most of the team returning and some new faces from the J.V. 1 140 s zigg Y' fig . .yt , ..

Win- ning tough matches against Suffield and Will- iston, as Well as overwhelmingly beating Pomfret and Wilbraham-Monson, the netman finished at 4-8, despite losses to perennial tennis dynasties such as Kingswood, Hotchkiss, Taft and Deerfield, and several near-misses going down to the wire with tough three-set matches. Although there were no individual superstars on the team, several memorable individual perfor- mances were turned in. Who can forget Harry Weinerman's fine 8-4 singles record which earned him Most Valuable Player honors . . . Tom Low- ell's four victories in three sets and number one . . . Lowell and Adam Rome getting to the semis of the Conference Championships at Hotchkiss . . . the key victories of Henry Russell-Jeff Sum- ner at third doubles to wrap up two matches at 5-4 . . . Tom and Adam's consistent and winning doubles play at first doubles . . . winning the Pomfret match without Coach Chick High . . . the fine individual performances when the team camped out at Macedonia State Park . . . Weiner- man and Walsh winning their match against Con- ference Champions Kingswood . . . Nelson An- thoine-Issac Hakim's stunning upset at Wilbraham. . . Another notable fact was the team's youth. With a sophomore playing second singles, and three freshmen sharing time at five and six, the team gained some much needed enthusiasm and spirit. With Co-Captains-elect Tom Lowell and Nelson Anthoine returning after playing one and three respectively, and Rome, Hakim, Sumner, and Russell also returning, the team and Coach Chuck Swanberg have much to look forward to. 5 li x'g EO :Le 5 er lim-wa.. Not many people know what it is to experi- ence bicycle racing. Great endurance, strength, skill and intelligence are needed on the higher levels of this sport. The average professional racer toils between 500 and 800 miles of riding per week. In track events, speeds of 40 or 50 mph are obtained. A year-round training pro- gram is a must for a racer to compete with other cyclists. When riding in a race, com- petitors remain in a closely knit pack, often with only one half foot between bikes. Com- plicated crashes and pile-ups are almost regular. Although our racing and training program was not so rigorous, we maintained a regular conditioning schedule. Allowing the time and equipment we had, we were able to get a good taste of racing. With only one experienced rider on the team, we pretty much had to search the sport out for ourselves. With some help from Coach Levy, as our timer and lap counter, we became well-seasoned. The 1974 season was successful in many ways. Of four races, We had: one victory, one near victory flost by one pointy, and two indi- vidual victories. For many of the racers, this was their rookie year and the team did very well to show for this. , ' if The Loomis Varsity Golf team, in only its second year of varsity status, tasted both the fruits of victory and the bitterness of defeat this past season. When it was all over, the record was six wins, six losses, and one tie. Successful on one hand and dismal on the other, the season saw both highlights and dark spots. The team amassed a four match winning streak in the middle of the season, but also suffered a four match losing streak at the very end. In the last month, however, Eugene McAuliffe, the team's number one player shot a school record of 71 at Pine Hill in the rain. His score included a 32 on the back side, again a school record. Gene finished the sea- son with an 11-2 record, and it took much practice and determination to defeat the best of the other schools consistently. Dave Title played number two every match but one and, getting off to a blazing start K8-01, finished poorly, ending with a 9- 3-1 record. Although inconsistent at times, in the long run he managed somehow to bet- ter his opponents. The number three spot was shared by Howie Latimer and Bill Wechsler fwhen he showed upj. Twice ousting John Stavola from a varsity match, Wechsler won a major- ity of his matches, which included a grand fi- nale at number two, and a few at number seven because of his tardiness. Latimer had an inconsistent year, at times he would crunch the ball, at others he had his troubles. He certainly was an unexpected asset to this team which depended on newcomers like him to achieve even mediocrity. Steve Kuehn had a tough season. It always happened that Steve would get a tough op- ponent, and hence Steve can not point to his record for praise. In the few matches he did win, he would psych his opponent out with his deliberate golfing style, and once in a while he even played Well. Richard Stanley tunneled his way through the pine trees of North Carolina for the third best record on the team, 6-4-1. He added much to the off-the-course activities of the team, but when it came down to win- ning the matches, Richard did just that. Pete Havel came through in the clutch many times, though his record is not that spectacular. Pete won more matches than he lost. So, the team, having survived many ups and downs, emerged as distinctly mediocre. It could have been a lot better, but it could have been a lot worse. ,,. .-UQ' .5 x .54 :jx , , -. ,if . . --as , 1 1, K ,fl ,V . 1 Q : K -1 K-.3 ,. Af 7 isif' .1 ' L if I ,aa i .

As al- ways, Choate is the team to beat for the league title and Loomis felt this was their year to be the spoilers. . .To put it mildly, Loomis was sky high for the game and after they built themselves a 5-2 lead, it looked like they were never going to come down . . . By this time, a good-sized Loomis crowd had accumulated and they weren't about to see the title slip away, neither was tLoomisJ with- out a fight. lt looked like a repeat of the eighth as Swiaki fanned the first two Loomis batters, but the last out always proved to be a problem and this was no exception. The next fLoomisJ batter singled and moved up on another hit, but as quickly as things began, they ended with a strikeout. This was without a doubt the most satisfying win of the season. Loomis was a very good team and a tough one to beat. This year's varsity baseball team was a tough one to beat: only Choate, the Trinity freshmen and Kent were successful in doing so. The Choate loss was a heart-breakerg leading 5-2 in the eighth, Loomis fell apart and succumbed to a 7-5 defeat. Against Trinity and Kent, the players just weren't fired up. Loomis had good pitching and hitting, and had the strongest outfield in the 150 Erickson League. The players worked as a team, having fun together and cheering each other on. When Williston and Deerfield threatened to beat them, the team came back to win in extra in- nings. Against Hopkins and Wilbraham, the oppo- sition again threatened, but the team won in the final inning. This year's team also beat Taft and Kingswood, breaking a long string of defeats in past years against those two schools. During pre- season in Florida, the varsity won three games against college varsity teams. Including the Flor- ida tour, varsity baseballis record was 15-3. Yes, Loomis varsity baseball was a tough team to beat. -Austin Wicke -Q li Q53 .. .1-fi. . . The Chaffee tennis team finished the season with a 3-5 record. It was the best team that Chaffee has ever had, due to the goodly amount of raw material to mold into a team. With the help of pre-season practice time at the indoor courts in Bloomfield, the girls prepared themselves for a challenging schedule. There were some matches which were played carelessly as was illustrated in the last match against MacDuffie. Numbers two, three, and four singles won rather handily, but captain Sally Hellerman, playing first singles, could not out-play her opponent. In addition, the doubles teams did not seem to coordi- nate themselves enough to Win. The loss was possibly a result of over-con- fidence due to a previous shut-out over the American School for the Deaf. Many individual matches throughout the course of the season were unneces- sarily close. Sometimes they resulted in wins, sometimes not. Despite the record, the members of the team benefited this season from improved tennis skills and built-up confidence. Both are necessary for consistent victories. An- other reason for the success of the team was the increased court time which made for better practice sessions.

I came to this campu 315,000 ago with mixed emotions: those of high expectations and a typical freshman feeling of awe. I re member ever so clearly the time I was kicked off the uexclusivei' senior path, or when I would sweat out a ho springtime sixth and seventh period on Friday Week II in the Nee Room with no work to do, my rear eni sticking to the seat, just itching to start the weekend. That was freshman year: the Kent rally where member of Batch brought a soccer goal from the meadows in the wee hours of the morning before and miraculousl placed it on the second-floor porch. That was freshman year . . . that was spirit. There was the innocence o freshman year, which only the freshmen seem capable of . . . doing pushups and situps for half an hour on Saturday at midnight in front of Bill Westfall's apartment for participating in nothing less than a good, old fashioned pillow fight. Remember the traditional water raids on a scale . . . the intimidating seniors, th unforgettable freshman orientation program: sex education, required plan books and all. It seems almost conf ical now! Since then, the Loomis tnow Loomis-Chaffee communityj has progressed, or regressed tdepending, o course, on the way you look at ith, to a slightly more sophisticated student body, one which is orientated tc. wards the individual rather than the group. No longer is there the senior path, as such, likewise, the annuz Kent rally has become simply a fond memory. Juniors somehow find their way onto the senior porche: whereas four years ago only the daring attempted what amounted to a masochistic act of torture. The pon ergap between seniors and underelassmen has diminished considerably. It can no longer be said that the sc niors run the school, a phrase echoed with pride in years gone by. Instead, seniors now set the example in rather quiet, almost unnoticed manner. With few exceptions, the vociferous student has disappeared in fave of a more orderly, realistic, but sometimes disillusioned person. Some feel that, to them, there is so muc wrong with the system that it is useless to even try to change it. That passivity, or reluctance to apply onesel seems to be an inherent characteristic of each and every graduating class since I came here, a characteristi often criticized, yet never changed. The Humanities Boycott of last year is an encouraging sign, students finally joined together and did some thing in a respectable fashion. Result: no more is Humanities a required course. It is this exhibit of a grou effort which should personify what each and every student should ideally have in mind: a distinct cor sciousness of his fellow classmate, especially those who will follow him in years to come fthe boycott itself too place during the spring term last year, which leads me to believe that the action was not totally selfishb. Suc an attitude has been largely frowned, literally laughed, upon the last few years, yet the frustration, dir satisfaction and un-caring prevalent at Loomis-Chaffee today must be in part attributed to this very point. Oddly enough, in light of the fact that it is very much as an individualistic community, Loomis-Chaffee ca best be labeled as a school of cliques. This item, too, has been refuted in the past, but the glaring separatio between the various sections of the school CLoomis boarders, day-hops, Chaffee day-hopsj is much too blatan to even begin to argue. Sure, there is loyalty and spirit, but not in the aforementioned group manner. Boarc ers are proud to be boarders, day-hops and Chaffers accordingly. Right now, it looks like a tough task to brin the various factions a bit closer, but a goal certainly attainable in the future. Nevertheless, it is the students who make the school, and rightly so. If one thing has bothered me over th years, it is the people who continually put down the school without even attempting to bring a change. It i these same people who you often see returning year after year. If for no other reason, it is usually the friend they have acquired that persuades them to continue their education here. With the rising costs of tuition doubt anyone can honestly dislike the school and still stay, without feeling he has cheated himself and his pai ents. So, when I hear myself criticizing Loomis, it's not hard to see that I am in many Ways criticizing myseI because I am really part of the institution. Personally, it has been four vastly different years, a term which I consider to be probably the most impoi tant period in one's lifetime. I've had some disappointments, but no regrets, some accomplishments I'm ver proud of, some that never materialized that should have. As a boarder, I met and got to know people from over the country, and for that matter all over the world, they brought me to realize that there are those wlil are truly different from the people I have met from my home town. In time, only the good memories wi remain twhich far outnumber the bad ones anywaylg I feel very strongly that Loomis is the type of place whei it takes a couple years away from it to recognize its true value.

The provision of one in- structor to every ten pupils insures individual at- tention. All pupils share in the useful labor of the school. Careful attention is given to personal habits, good manners and the spirit of hospitality. Much of the government of the school is in the hands of a Stu- dent Council, elected entirely by the pupils, and every effort is made to cultivate self reliance and individual initiative. The near vicinity of Hartford affords rare advantages in medical attendance and opportunities to hear good music. The school buildings are all new and fireproof. Founders Hall, completed in 1916, contains chapel with three-manual organ, library, study, laborat.ories, class- rooms, music studio and offices. It has indirect elec- tric light, steam heat, and modern Ventilating system. Large, airy gymnasium, two athletic fields, hockey pond and Farmington river afford facilities for all sports. The school farm of one hundred acres pro- vides milk and cream produced under ideal conditions. The investment in buildings and grounds is upward of 3750,000, yet an endowment of 332,500,000 permits a rate of 33900 a year. Several scholarships are available for especially deserving pupils. N.

VALLEY INN Rt. 305 at Interstate 91 Windsor 688-5221 249 Confluence There is something unique about each graduating class. Ours is no exception. Four years ago Chaffee first came to the Island. That was our freshman year. As we graduate now, we mark the first class to complete four years together. The merger has been anything but uneventful. Few things have remained the same during the past four years. Even the name of the school has been changed three times that I can remember. The melding of Loomis-Chaffee has been dogged by factors impeding a smooth transition. The all-pervasive climate of an old style male boarding school has been slow to totter. Loomis, builder and mother of men does not want to die easily. 'In addition to the tenacity of the all-male physical and mental image of the Loomis Island, rapid cooeducation has been hampered by the traditions of the two schools. Loomis and Chaffee each represent a bastion of power for the individuals that control it. The inevitable conflict that occurs when any two organizations that are designed to perform the same functions merge has not been avoided here. Such expressions as the Chaffee identity or the Upreeminence of the Boarding Dept. are only now beginning to disappear from our vocabulary. Four years have passed since I came to Loomis-Chaffee. I have seen a lot of progress towards making this truly one school. The thing that leaves me most hopeful about the continuation of the present course is the students. Every new student that comes onto this campus is bringing with herlhim no preconceived ideas of what Loomis was like in the good old days, before the girls came. No new student can refer longingly to the tight community that was old Chaffee. Instead, each student brings to Loomis-Chaffee the desire to make the school work as it exists today, not as it did in their nostalgically remembered past. The incoming student is faced with a coeducational institution, the solutions shelhe finds toqcope with the situation will be in that context. I don't mean to imply that an unconscious trend towards coeducation is enough to get us to that goal. The deliberate efforts of all members of the community is necessary. For this reason, I am encouraged by the proliferation of opportunities for consciousness-raising on campus. Only as we become aware of the divisions that separate people can we begin to break down barriers. I am also encouraged by the gradual turnover of the faculty. Just as new students come to Loomis-Chaffee with the idea of its being co-ed, so too, do new faculty members contribute to the decline in the influence of our separatist backgrounds. However, I am worried. In order for there to emerge one school, the administration must be whole- heartedly dedicated to this end. This means that it must be concerned with the lot ofall members of the community, boys, girls, day students, boarders, faculty members, staff. Because of the relative difficulty in attracting boarding students at this time, the priorities of the administration seem to be slipping towards that segment of the school. It is vital for our continued progress that the administration now exercise the leadership necessary to show that it is dedicated to making the dream of Loomis-Chaffee work. This year really is a'miIestone. The Loomis-Chaffee School is graduating its first class. Taking into account the position of the Island at the junction of two rivers, and recognizing that this year marks the junction of two separate, traditional schools, the yearbook has been renamed ConfIuer1ce. l think it is a particularly appropriate name. -SLC S1 .
