This year we asked a selected group of authors in our town to pen certain division pages for our yearbook, and they kindly consented to do so. We are very proud and pleased to present the prodigious work done by these writers. To further carry out our theme, the advisers of the various school activities enumerated some of the accomplishments completed through- out the school years by their different groups, and our superintendent and principal added their bit, also. We are very grateful for the invaluable words given to us by the writers of our town, our administrators, and faculty. The i959 Lymen is different this year in other ways, too. We have for the first time used color - 16 pages of it. Moreover, the book is ten pages larger than it has ever been before. We hope you will enjoy it. THE LYMEN STAFF 2 -M. .c,.fm,...A..A ,, ,.-fe.

Holyoke, Michigan University, Rochester University, Tulane j ALICE HAMILTON Ever since the Russians launched their Sputnik we have been scanning our own educa- tional system with very critical eyes and many authoritative experts have told us that we are way behind other countries, European especial- ly. Our young people do not work hard enough, nor as many hours, they waste time on extra- curricular activities, they are far less intellectual. I have no first-hand experience that would en- able me to judge how this is true, but I have talked to Europeans and heard them describe their recollections of school life in Germany, Austria, France, and what they said made me wonder whether our way does not fit us better for life in a modern, democratic country, even if it does not, perhaps, produce as many in- tellectuals as those countries do. For instance, an Austrian refugee described his school in Vienna. We sat in rows on back- less benches. When the teacher entered we rose and bowed, then sat down and took notes of what he said. When he finished, we rose again and stood until he had left the room. We never asked him a question, we never spoke to him. At the end of the course we passed an examina- tion, giving him back what he had given us. Another European, a German, told me of an extraordinary happening in an American school. The teacher, who was talking about pre- historic animals, suddenly said, l can't remem- ber the name of that creature. Does anyone know what it is? And one of his pupils spoke up and gave it to him. lmagine that in Ger- many, my friend said. A teacher admitting there was something he did not know and turning to the class for information. Our system does seem to prepare our young people for life in common more than for ambition and for fierce competition, as the French system does. The French are the most extreme individualists and it seems to start in their schools. One of our exchange teachers from a Connecticut school, who went to a school in Avignon, told me about her experience there. Those French teenagers work far harder and for longer hours than ours do, and they care passionately about their marks which are al- ways posted up. It seemed to me that success meant not so much learning something inter- esting, solving a hard problem, as getting ahead of the others, reaching the top of the list. Nothing in their school life made for joint effort, for working together, it was all competi- tion. I wondered whether this was not the start of the French individualism which has brought about so many warring political parties in France and has ended in their welcoming an authorita- tive ruler. Another result of our not encouraging competition, rivalry, in our schools is the way we take for granted the ideal of good sports- manship, of ability to be good losers after a defeat. I took my Austrian friend to our Town Meeting, where, as usual, we fought quite energetically over the question of roads. When one side came out victorious, the meeting was adjourned and I said we could go home. But aren't you going to wait to see the fight? he said. What fight, I asked. Why outside, he said. Surely after all that dispute they will not be just friendly and peaceful. They certain- ly wiIl, I said. Just come and see. This some man was again amazed at the American way of taking a defeat. It was when Chester Bowles had lost nomination for political office and the very next day had announced that he would work hard for the candidates of the party that had just rejected him. Such a speech by an Austrian or a Frenchman is inconceivable, my friend said. So perhaps when our schools are criticized as neglecting the scholarly possibilities of our teenagers and paying too much attention to training them in the ways of life in a com- munity, training for common effort for the common good, for mutual tolerance and ability to compromise, for good sportsmanship and generous acceptance of defeat, we may point with pride to our results. We do owe a lot to England, whose ideals we adopted, but we have added some of our own to make a government and a society which certainly works out pretty well in practice. And even in the matter of scholarly achievement we are not far behind. ALICE HAMILTON MR. JOHN A. SMALL Superintendent A desire to work more closely with the pupils motivated Mr. Small to take the super- intendentship of Old Lyme Schools. On his second successful year here, Mr. Small oper- ates on the principle that a school is as good as the pupils make it. An ex-coach, his avoca- tions are travel and athletics. Mr. Small received his B.S. degree from the University of New Hampshire and his M.Ed. from Hofstra College and Columbia. MR. ROGER GROVER Principal 6 MRS. RlC HA RD BELANGER Mrs. Belanger, ener- getic and enthusiastic about her new job as a mathematics teacher, comes from Nashua, New Hampshire, and re- Mr. Grover, principal of the rumor-senior high school, received his Bachelor of Science, Bachelor of Physical Education, and Master of Education degrees at Springfield College and the University of New Hampshire. Having acted as coach of the athletic teams in past years, Mr. Grover has a great interest in the students and the sports' activities in the school. L ceived her Bachelor of Arts degree at Rivier College. When not de- voting her time to school work, Mrs. Belanger may occasionally be found on the golf course. MR. RICHARD BELANGER A graduate of Saint Anselm's College in Nashua, New Hampshire, Mr. Belanger is now teaching iunior high school science, mathematics, and civics. Not only does he enioy teaching iunior high school students, but he also enjoys coaching their basketball team. MR. FREDERICK CHAPPELLE Much of Mr. Chappelle's out-of-school time is taken up by his great interest in choral music. He is the director of the Catholic Church choir and sings in the Valley Concert Chorale. Hav- ing received his Bachelor of Arts degree at the University of Connecticut and having studied at the Sorbonne, Mr. Chappelle is now teaching French l, iunior high school mathematics, English, and his new dog, Butch . Having enloyed the scenic countryside of Old Lyme for the past twenty-eight years, Mr. Dimick is now living at Rogers Lake. He is teach- ing iunior high school science and mathematics at O.L.H.S. He received his Bachelor of Science degree at the University of Maine, and comes to us from Hamden. We understand that he and Doc enjoy evenings listening to train record- ings on Doc's hi-fi set and that Mr. Dimick spends his vacations fishing. MR. JAMES GARDNER Having been the phy- sical director of the Worcester Boy's Club in Worcester, Massachu- setts, and a recreation therapist in Palo Alto fi' V.A. Hospital in Palo Al- to, California, Mr. Gard- ner is with us teaching general mathematics to ii grade seven, the boys' physical and health ed- ucation. and coaching the varsity soccer team UQ and assisting with the basketball team. A grad- uate of Springfield Col- lege in Springfield, Mas- sachusetts, Mr. Gardner has his Bachelor of Sci- ence degree. Naturally, Mr. Gardner's outside interests center around sports, but he also en- joys cooking. During his summer vacation he op- erates the Tom Thumb restaurant. MR MISS JANET M. HALL Next fall Miss Hall will move her desk menagerie and her gentle sense of humor to Westbrook, where she will teach French, Latin, and English. During her sixteen years in Old Lyme, her activities have included transplant- ing various languages to the heads of students, applying theatrical make-up to would-be actors and actresses, running the school paper to meet those deadlines, and amusing her friends with tales of McG, her cat, and Elizabeth, her dog. WILLIAM DIMICK 7 MR RALPH KEHOE MR. CARL KOTZAN Seldom seen without a hammer and a grin, Mr. Kotzan is iust one of those people who can repair anything from engines to tables. One might assume that his patience would wear thin at the close of a day from the trials and tribulations of a shop teacher, but after school MR. JAMES MELLINGER Mr. Mellinger, our new director of band and chorus, received his Bachelor and Masters' degrees at the Oberlin Conservatory of Music. Although he hails from Youngstown, Ohio, Mr. Mellinger enjoys living in the New England area. He is a family man and is interested in sports and photography. MRS. WILLIAM HALL Mrs. Hall comes to us this year from Plainville and is a graduate of New Britain Teachers College where she received her Bach- elor of Science degree. Because she is so far gone with galloping exhaustion from a nor- mal school day, Mrs. Hall's outside activities are somewhat limited. But during the summer, she enioys a lovely but leaky sailboat. Mrs. Hall is now acting as Guidance Director and is teaching junior high school English. An avid sports fan, Mr. Kehoe has been appointed coach of the O.L.H.S. basketball and baseball teams. lt is said that his most happy moment in Old Lyme was January 6, when his varsity basketball team defeated the Saybrook team. He hails from Fair Haven, Vermont, and attended that state's university, receiving a degree of Bachelor of Science in Education. Along with his occupation as a coach, Mr. Kehoe also teaches iunior high school social studies. Mr. Kotzan still has time to teach to eager stu- dents the art of driving an automobile. Also, in the summer, he serves as a police officer and is able to check on his pu- pils. ln the winter, it's not unusual for Mr. Kot- zan to return to Old Lyme from the north with a deer tied to his car. MISS RUTH A. PREST A graduate of Worcester State Teachers College, Miss Prest received her Bachelor of Science in Education, and is now teaching So- cial Studies. She spends some of her summer vacation in the woods of Vermont and the rest working to keep her home in Manchester-By- The-Sea looking shipshape. She loves to walk and romp with her very bright dog, Mr. Whiskers. Mr Ramsdell arrives promptly every day to guide the seniors through their many and vari- ous activities. The highlight of the fall season was Ten Little Indians , a senior class produc- tion directed by Mr. Ramsdell. He received his Bachelor of Science in Education at Columbia Uni- versity and has a great love for travel and the theater. It was through this love of theater and his untiring efforts that the seniors were able to spend a day in New York and see the Broad- way production of The Music Man . MRS. WILLIAM RETTIG Sporting a friendly manner and a sense of humor, Mrs. Rettig teaches the young ladies of our school health and physical education. In addition to this, she coaches the girls' athlet- ic teams. A graduate of Arnold, she received her Bachelor of Science de- gree and decided a year ago to come to Old Lyme because she liked the size of our school and the warmth of the peo- ple in it. MR PHILIP RAMSDELL Curry School of Dramatics. MISS JEAN NETTE ROBERTS Miss Roberts became interested in her pres- t ent field when she noticed many students who needed reading help. She has been following up her interest with a maior in reading at the University of Connecticut for the past two years. Previous to her job in Old Lyme, Miss Roberts taught English at North Hampton, Massachusetts, and Regional High School in Deep River. She received her B.A. degree in English from the University of New Hampshire. One of her main interests is dramatics, which she studied at the 9 DR. HEN RY SCHOETTNER MISS MILD RED SANFORD Secretaries of tomorrow are trained by Miss Sanford in the commercial unit of our school. Miss Sanford entered the University of Vermont and received her Bachelor of Science degree. In addition to her regular duties as a commercial teacher, Miss Sanford acts as conscience and adviser to the yearbook staff. A bedraggled, brown poodle named N'est-ce-pas receives most of Miss Sanford's after-school attention. Doc certainly managed to travel a bit even before he purchased his famous fire-engine-red T-Bird. He received his Bachelor of Science de- gree at Arizona State and took his pre-medical training at that college, plus Central College and Michigan State. Doc continued his study at Boston College and Kansas College. Although Doc is a certified M.D., he pre- fers to teach science and is spending much of his time at the University of Connecticut learning the art of instruction. MRS. RUTH SWAN Mrs. Swan, who came to Old Lyme seven years ago because she heard there wasn't any snow here, is a graduate of the University of New Hampshire where she received her Bachelor of Science degree. Mrs. Swan is the director of Home Economics in the junior and senior high school. Her after-school hours comprise a con- stant vigil as to the whereabouts of her three cats, Moppet, Stinky, and Lady Whiffenpooff' You, the faculty of the Old Lyme High School, are the hope of the future. Upon you rest many important decisions. You must teach the pupils of Old Lyme to cope with the world of tomorrow. You must teach our pupils to climb ever upward to reach their respective goals. Hold fast to your ideals and standards. Never lower your aim or settle for less than the best. Show initiative, individuality, and independence throughout your work, and you will prepare our students for a happy and fruitful life. You are teaching the masters of tomorrow's world. The youth of Old Lyme are depending on your leadership! JOHN A. SMALL, Superintendent Mr. Chidsey has written many historical novels, biographies, and boy's books.

STUDENT COUNCIL The activities of the Old Lyme Student Council are evidence of the fact that there is continuing leadership in our school. Leaders of past councils, either by directing or following the desires of the student body, have established many activities which have become traditions in the Old Lyme High School. These include the annual Community Christmas Proiect, the yearly Career Day Program, the Spring Festival, the Twirp Dance, helping with the school political activities, and the establishment and sponsorship of such institutions as the Traffic Squad and the Traitic Court. They have led in the creation of a school emblem and the adoption of a standard school ring. This year's council has continued the spon- sorship of the proiects. However, it has not stopped there. lt has proven that in Old Lyme the spirit of leadership is still strong, and that the desire continues for ever greater cooperation among students and for the improvement of standards. Among the proofs of this are the establishment of a new Code of Conduct for Old Lyme students, and the revision and strengthening of the Stu- dent Government Constitution for the consideration of the entire student body. May the Student Council continue to grow and be an influence in our school and community. RUTH PREST 12 The Traffic Squad - democracy is in action in our school corridors. Between classes and at lunchtime, members of the Traffic Squad are at work protecting the rights and helping to guarantee the safety of all. The rules which this squad enforces are few and simple, and were made by the squad with the approval of the representatives of the entire student body - the Student Council. As years pass, a growing percentage of Old Lyme students appreciate these rules and the squad which enforces them. Thus, by another institution demo- cratic citizenship is improved. The Tramc Court of the Old Lyme High School tries students accused of breaking corridor laws and punishes those found guilty. The officers of the court, however, do not consider this their main duty. They believe their chief purposes are to develop a better understanding of the reasons for government and law, and to further a desire for greater social cooperation in those brought to the court. ' Visitors to the court are impressed with the evidence of these aims. Those Our top orator Career-Day Blues for the year Next?

The entire girl population of the Old Lyme Junior-Senior High School are members of the G.A.A.C. This group is divided into class clubs from which representatives are elected to make up the governing board. The G.A.A.C Board runs the program, determining additions or omissions from the group of activities. This board is also responsible for recording points earned by each girl for her participation in the various activities of her choice. In turn, the number of points earned by an individual makes her eligible for various awards throughout her six years of school. A program such as this gives every girl the opportunity to earn some recognition in extracurricular physical education activities depending upon her interest and active participation. The following list includes the activities now offered in this program: Field Hockey fvarsity and classl Gym-team Dance Club Archery tournaments lindividuall Basketball lvarsity and classl Volleyball fclassl Badminton tournaments findividuall Softball fvarsity and classl Leader Corps COACH HAZEL RETTIG Mercury spoke well of you.

The High School Chorus and Band perform frequently during the year at many school activities. These groups are organized to develop a desire to serve others in the school and community, to develop the con- fidence and enioyment that result from a iob well done. This year the Chorus and Band both did well. Their performances were well received by students and faculty, and membership in both groups increased as the year progressed. Membership in the Chorus reached 40, and the Band to- taled 27. MR. JAMES MELLINGER 22 Mr. Steele has written many books and is a famous short-story writer.

Anything for a quiet life. - Middleton FERNE MARGARET BRODEUR Field Hockey 2, 3, Basketball 1, 2, 3, 4, Softball 'l, 2, 3, 4, Chorus 'l, 2, 3, 4. Ferne sports a ready wit and a taste for athletics. Her glee over a well-paced ball or quip, her carefree conversation and her sympathy and independent spirit are as much a part of her as her blonde hair. Thought is speech and speech is truth. - Scott BERNARD FRANCIS COLE Baseball 2, 3, 4, Class Play 2, 4, Traffic Squad 3, 4, Student Council Representative 4. Always cheerful and loquacious, Bernie is fre- quently rushed and seldom looks it. His most noticeable accessories are his rainbow-hued wardrobe, his car, his iob and his monologist talents, he is also willing to lend them to anyone who needs them. He aptly portrayed a nervous nerve specialist in the senior play, Ten Little Indians. Good company and good discourse are the very sinews of Virtue. - Walton HOWARD CLARK Lyme Light l, 2, 4, Soccer 2, Class Play 2. Howard has a reputation as a skillful artist and for loaning his talent to posters and publications. His audible sense of humor, which is as familiar as his art work, is especially noticeable in study halls. No slave is here. - Percival MARTHA ELLA DEAN Chorus 2, 3, 4, Lyme Light 2, Class Play 2, Lymen 4. Martha lost her spare time forever when she let it be known that she was o good typist. The indispensable skill of hitting typewriter keys quickly and accurately is in such demand in Old Lyme that Martha is buried in papers to copy. She takes her internment with good humor, however, and she is usually ready for more. ln her tongue is the law of kindness - Proverbs MARY MARGUERITE CRAIG Lyme Light 'l, 4, Senior Play 4, Lymen Literary Editor 4. Among the many talented members of the Class of 1959 we are fortunate to have in Mickey an author. Being extremely well read and possess- ing a unique wit, Mickey has delighted us with amusing stories and essays. In her junior year she received honorable mention for her essay, Much Ado about a Supper in the National Scholastic Writing contest. Comparatively quiet, Mickey is one of the most dependable and clever members of our class. Solitude is as needful to the imagination as society is wholesome for the character. - Dryden CARLETON ELLIS JEWETT Student Council Representative l, 2, Photography Club 2, Senior Play 4, Class Play 2, Traffic Squad 4, Lymen Advertising Manager 4. Ellis' face shifts rapidly from an anxious frown to an infectious grin, with emphasis on the grin. His years at Old Lyme have often given him cause for gravity and he uses laughter as an antidote. A natural ham he created the role of a gay adventurer in the senior play. His humor and tenacity came in handy while he was searching for yearbook ads. He is all mirth. - Shakespeare BARRY ESTILL GUITAR Lyme Light 'l, 2, Class Play 2, Basketball 2, Soccer 3, 4, Baseball 3, 4. During his four high school years Barry has con- tinually dashed around on or off the athletic field - usually after a misplayed ball, misplaced homework or forgotten errands. He is typified by his cheerful willingness to take on anything within running or driving distance. Unfortunate- ly, the true derivation of his nickname Beasley has been lost in the ages. He quickens into deeds. - Whittier KARL JAMES JONASON Class President 2, Soccer 'l, 2, Track 2, 3, Bas- ketball 2, Baseball 4, Class Play 4. Jim stepped into a whirlwind when his family moved from Huntington, Long Island, to Ham- burg last summer. He brought with him a record as class president and a member of his soccer and track team. He was no stranger to the area, however, for Lyme is his former summer home. He has managed to hold his own with a sem- blance of coolness and calm. In the senior play he appeared behind footlights for the first time as a retired detective. Good health and good sense are two of life's greatest blessings. - Syrus JOHN MICHAEL MATHER Soccer lp Basketball l, 2, Baseball l, 2, Photog- raphy Club 2, Lyme Light 2, Class Play 2. John is held down by class activities, homework and a time-consuming after-school iob. From time to time he emerges from these responsibili- ties to catch his breath and follow a hobby - photography. Diligence is the mother of good fortune. - Cervantes l KATHLEEN MARY MATHER Class Play 2. Quietness and simplicity of manner prevade Kathleen's personality. She possesses the ability to carry out her work quickly and inconspicu- ously and has gained a reputation for accuracy and dependability. Study to be quiet. - Thessalonians JOHN PATRICK McCARTHY Basketball lp Soccer 2, 3, 4. No matter where he may be during the day, Mic is sure to be discussing the relative merits of cars, sports and acquaintances. Being a true Irishman, he has no trouble using his subtle sense of humor. The world's as ugly, aye, as Sin, and almost as delightful. - Locker-Tompson RICHARD HERBERT FRANCIS MILLER Soccer 2, 4, Class Play 2, 4, Baseball 3, 4. A good nature and lots of freckles are Dick's most prominent qualities. His reputation rests upon his willingness to try anything, no matter how ridiculous - once. Twice during his senior year, however, he put on the mask of ferocity and solemnity by acting as auctioneer on senior slave day and as a nervous English butler in the senior play. One universal grin. - Fielding . 5- l X 3333325 T ' ' A .2 z , , . . tvlw was l-.-,xsffqsp ,V . .t I iii. Q ,211 1 'wx T ii c 'Y' Yi- ' '.

Bruce's high school record has proved him handy with a book as well as with a ball. During his senior year he exercised enormous concentra- tion on sports, homework, lost books, senior class accounts and promptness. With a great interest in mathematics and science, Bruce plans to study engineering. The wise man is strong. - Proverbs KAREN MAUREEN N ICHOL Lyme Light 2, Class Play 2, 4, Cheerleading 3, Chorus 3, Debating Club 3, Student Council Secretary 3, Laurel Girls State 3, Class President 4, Traffic Squad Clerk 4. Karen scatters smiles and good will liberally about the school and surrounding country. Her pleasant manner is an asset to her numerous activities - both educational and extracurricu- lar. During the summer of T958 she represented Old Lyme at Laurel Girls State. Wtih a smile on her lips. - Scott ROY THOMAS SIMON EAU Lyme l.ight l, 2, Student Council, Treasurer 'l, 2, Photography Club 2, Class Play 2, 4, Soccer 2, 3, 4, Basketball 2, 3, 4, Student Council Rep- resentative 3, Baseball 3, 4, Student Council President 4, Lymen Photography Editor 4. A handsome lad is Roy, whose interests are school politics, photography and sports. Due to numerous activities, he is constantly in demand and often hard to find. Unfortunately, to mis- quote one of his favorite expressions, He can- not easily be replaced. Various are the tastes of men. - Arkenside ROBERT HUEY SUTTON Basketball 2, 3, Soccer 2, Baseball 2, 3, 4, Class Play 4. Bob carries a quiet smile and sense of humor to all his classes. In spite of these, he aided Dick Miller as a harsh slave driver an Slave Day. He acted a sturdy English boatman in the senior play, a role which admirably fitted his interest in boats. It's good to be honest and true. - Burns i JUDITH ANN TOOKER Lyme Light 25 Class Play 25 Class Treasurer 35 Debating Club 35 Basketball 3, 45 Softball 3, 45 Girls Athletic Association Representative 4. Judy's athletic and conversational abilities have made her conspicuous on the baseball field and basketball court as well as in study halls. Both came in handy in her junior year as class treas- urer, when she became adept at extracting class dues from her reluctant classmates. She also used them to attract extra food during noon hours and to pilot her car over the byways of eastern Connecticut. A very valiant trencherman. - Shakespeare KERRI SWAN Softball lp Field Hockey l, 25 Basketball 1, 25 Band 1, 25 Chorus l, 25 Lyme Light 'I, 25 Dramatic Arts Association 3 CGreenbrier College, W.

Al- though she left Old Lyme for Greenbrier Junior College in West Virginia for her iunior year, she returned as a senior, full of zest for laughter, mishaps, and a determination to inspect Notre Dame University. Nothing's so hard but search will find it out. - Herrick VALERIE CONWAY FITZGERALD Class Play 2, 45 Yearbook Editor 45 Student Coun- cil Representative 'l, 2, 35 Lyme Light l, 25 Class Vice-President 2, 45 Class President 3. Blonde hair, sparkling blue eyes, and a vibrant personality make Val a favorite in the senior class. 'Her willingness and ability to assume re- sponsibility have led her to many important ac- tivities, including editorship of the 1959 Lymen. Although her various duties keep Val very busy during the week, one can always find her en- ioying social life at the Coast Guard Academy. Expressions such as Copies and Dumber add color to her characteristic witty conversa- tions with those always assembled around her locker at various times of the school day. Being especially gifted, it is possible that Val will en- ter a career of artistic type. Philosophy, wit, elegance and poetry. - Cowley THE PILGRIMS OF '59 They started out tres gaies in fifty-five. I must admit they did not all survive, Some went away to foreign schools To learn new ways and learn new rules. Sometimes I meet them on the way But do not always stop to say, Hello and How are you? For some of them I never knew. Half way throughout our weary trudge A few of them refused to budge, They chose to live a different life I hope they do not come to strife. Three quarters through our way so fine, And some of them were left behind, They will ioin us one fine day When we have gone our way. Those that remain will be the best When this odyssey comes to rest. A deadly peregrination, Has also been a recreation. Three dances, picnic, supper, plays, As you can see filled in our days. This is our final year, The end so far yet near, And this the question I would ask, How many will there be who last? Will we all on that glorious day, Receive dipIomas5 walk away? Or will we be one of the crowd Who at the end applaud so loud. I cannot say, I cannot tell, All I can do is wish you well. I'll also say sans fear to lie You'll cherish this trip until you die. lt's had its lays, worries, and cheers That we'll remember through the years. We'll see it pass with great contentment, The days until our great commencement I tell you we'll be next to heaven If ever comes sweet June eleven.

Pictures alone do not tell the story as to whether it is a good school. We have a fine, new school building, a good, capable faculty and a fine group of students, but there are other things that make a good school. To be successful it must have a group of students who are proud of their school, who try to get the best out of their academic subiects, who, when they enter into our extracurricular activities such as student council, band, chorus, athletics, and others, give their best. We should never settle for being as good as other schools, rather, we should strive to become The Best Little School in Connecticut. I believe that we are striving for that title and shall achieve it at some time in the future. How long it will take depends on you, the people in this book, and other books to come.

Class Colors: Blue and Gold Valedictorian: , .... ,..........., Salutatorian: .. 36 Motto: Success is a iourney, not a destination. - Anonymous Dr. Neumann is the 1958-59 president of the Old Lyme Parent Teachers Association. He is editor-in-chief of the National Foremen's Institute and the Bureau of Business Practice. He attended Berlin University in Germany and continued his studies at the London School of Economics. Dr. Neumann has written one book in the field of monetary policy, co-authored three books in the field of labor relations, and written many articles on various aspects of human relations in industry. DR. BRUNO NEUMANN UNDERCLASSMEN WHAT WE MUST LEARN One of the favorite topics of conversation these days deals with what has been called the crisis in education. People seem to feel that the schools should do a much better iob of teaching the Three R's and all the other subiects that young people will need to know later on in life. The truth is, of course, that schools never do as good a iob as later on in life requires. But the weakness doesn't lie with the schools. For the simple fact is that all a school can do is teach. More important than teaching, however, is learning. And learning is something no school can do. Only the individual can do it. So let's not be rough on schools. Let's be rough on ourselves. How do we go about being rough on our- selves? Let's take reading as an example. Read- ing is the universal tool of learning. It can be used by anyone. The Russians can use it, the Chinese can use it, we can use it. What's more, reading is the maior tool of learning. There wasn't any universal learning to speak of before the printed page came along. Print makes in- formation stand still, which permits the reader to take his time absorbing it, understanding it, pondering it. Can take his time - that's the crux of the matter, that's where a little self-punishment should come in. All of us can read, but too few of us become readers. We don't like to spend the time it takes to read - and absorb what we read, and understand it, and ponder it - be- cause all of that is hard work. But there is no way to convert hard work into light work and into pleasure even, except by getting used to working. Those who are so excited about the crisis in education say in effect that while the Russians and Chinese are getting used to work- ing we're getting used to leisure. Maybe that's where the danger lies. But maybe it lies elsewhere: Unless a person learns to like work nothing will ever give him lasting satisfaction. His life won't be worth living. And this leads to another piece of unpopu- lar wisdom the schools can't teach but we must learn: There is no free lunch. Whatever any- one consumes or enjoys has to be paid for, in money or effort. If it isn't paid for by one individual, it has to be paid for by some other individual or individuals. That's where the sense of responsibility raises its sober head. We get used to responsibili- ties, more or less, in our private affairs. That's where we first learn that we can't have any rights unless we are ready to assume corres- ponding responsibilities. But it usually takes a little longer for this lesson to sink in as far as our social rights and obligations are concerned. The maior point here is that unless people are prepared to assume responsibilities - keeping informed, participating in community, state and national affairs, paying taxes - any rights they have will soon be taken away from them. There are no rights without responsibilities. This may well become the major issue in the lives of present teenagers. Facing it will take more self-education than those of us have, yours truly very much included, who now are so hepped up about the crisis in education.

MR. GRAHAM BECKEL ATHLETICS The history of sports offers a study - and hope - in international understanding. To illus- trate this point let's take a brief look at the history of your four team sports. Field hockey was played in Persia as early as 2000 B.C. Dur- ing the middle ages this sport had moved west- ward to Europe. It became known as hoquet in France. During the latter part of the nineteenth century the British developed the present rules and extended interest in the game throughout the Empire. The team champions at the 1956 Olympics represented India. As a type of foot- ball soccer claims an equally distinctive history. Originating in Babylon and Egypt - popular among the early Greeks - adopted by the Ro- mans and introduced to Britain by the Roman Legionnaires - soccer in our day has become an international sport. More than forty nations are expected to field teams when the 1960 Olympics are held. Baseball and basketball are American sports. lThis is said with a low bow to the English who claim baseball is but a descendant of their eighteenth century roun- ders.l From our diamonds baseball has spread to become the national sport of Japan. At the Pan-American games this sport attracts more spectators than any other competition. One of the largest crowds ever to witness a baseball game was 125,000. The place? Berlin. The event? A demonstration game during the 1956 Olym- pics. Historically basketball is the youngest and Iustiest of the team sports. Sixty-eight years ago Dr. James Naismith knocked the bottoms from two peach baskets, fastened them to the gym balcony at Springfield lMass.J College, sounded his whistle and a new game was born. By your graduation year 1959 official rule books had been published in thirty-eight languages and some forty million players were competing in the sport. Formal Olympic games began in 1936. Thus far the United States has held the champion- ships. In recent years Russia, Uruguay, Argentina, Chile, Bulgaria and France have developed top- flight players and teams. There is reason to believe that within the next ten years partici- pants in this sport may include every nation in the world. From this brief review one fact is obvious. As other peoples have contributed to our enioyment of sports - we now contribute to theirs. lt is this writer's fervent hope that in the years to come this mutual enioyment of games will be such that the phrase classic battle will be un- derstood to mean a close basketball game rather than a turning point in world affairs.

VARSITY BASKETBALL We have built our team around strong defensive plays and are look- ing forward to a very successful season in 'I959-60 with only B. Peterson and R. Simoneau graduating. The fine efforts of the cheerleaders, the students, faculty, and the many townspeople have made 1958-59 a most successful year in spirit and cooperation and has done much to bring Old Lyme back to a good position in the Shoreline Conference.

VARSITY SOCCER We didn't have a truly successful season as we won only two games, but the team improved as the season progressed. Eight of our losses were by one or two goals which were scored late in each contest. We could have won all of them with a little more effort and clrive. After losing to Moodus by a score of 8-0, we lost the second game by only one goal scored by a penalty kick. We also tied Saybrook and came close to de- feating Valley Regional, but lost 2-'l by a goal scored during the last four minutes of the game. l know that the 1959 soccer team will have a good year even though we are losing five of our starting team due to graduation. Our reward for the 1958 soccer season was 2 wins, one tie, and eleven losses.
