THE QXFQRDIAN QQFEEQ Q Q F5523 1 9 5 9 OXFORD SCHOOL, HARTFORD 'WedneGlay M1959 eotheAhmmae, whnnedevumedimereacandloyalty give tofhcford. To those who've left so long ago, And those just gone a year, We dedicate this slender book That we have written here, And hope that on a page or two A little phrase you'l1 find To help recall those Oxford days That you have left behind. In purpose and accomplishment Your strength unites as one, You represent a loyalty That cannot be outdone. The memories of Oxford years Parade in bright display, As we, the Class of '59, From Graduation Day, Depart to lead another life, Another ladder's rung, All decked with daisy chains perhaps, Or even laurels strung. We cannot know the outcome if We have not yet begun, But eagerness is half the fight And half the battle won. And so when just another year Will mark the fifty date, As proud alumnae we shall come And gladly celebrate. A school endowed with honor and A place where truths abide- This is our well loved Oxford School Which earns alumnae pride.

THE RABBIT NANCY WATTERS, VII There was a young rabbit named Beers, Who had longer than usual ears. Without even a look, Some scissors he took And now is not sure what he hears. 74 PETER AND ME MARTHA ANDERSON, XII Small, very sturdy feet, bare, with toes pointed outward and braced for balance, are stationed stolidly several inches apart. Equally sturdy legs, short ones braced against the seat with stiff knees, support a crisp, bright blue pair of shorts topped with a gay, horizontally striped jersey. Both the jersey and the elastic belt of the blue shorts are strained firmly over a very round stomach. This stomach is distinctive, a particular section of anatomy which is slightly amazing upon contemplation, and which belongs to a small, very well organized person whose name is Peter. Peter is standing beside me on the rear seat of a small bus which is bearing him across the United States to the west coast, but of course this action is of little importance to him 5 he is not even aware of it as such. He is quite occupied with eating small green grapes which I am handing to him one by one out of a small brown paper bag. There are so many new sights that I find it hard to concentrate on the important matter at hand. Even he is caught momentarily and points, but then he has to push my hand firmly towards the paper bag in order to bring me out of my reverie. As he takes the piece of fruit gently between thumb and index finger and puts it in his mouth fhe is not even aware that he has been holding a grape in his left handj, I am slightly startled. This is the first time since I have come to know him that he has stayed quietly with me. I am elated, per- haps he will tolerate me now. He glances at me meditatively from clear gray eyes and asks wordlessly for another grape. I am put in my place at once 5 of course, if I had not had the grapes, and if his mother and father had not been right there-well anyway, it is the first time he has been back here with me and stayed for a while-it will probably take a little more time. The next days fuse into one flow of hours filled with glimpses of deserts, cities, mountains, and people. I take a driving shift for three hours, then sleep for thirty minutes like one who is stunned, unaware of burning eyes and aching back. Later comes the cool of the evening, with laughter at Peter's antics, food, the night sound of the thundering trucks and finally, sleep. And running always through these hours is an awareness of the ex- tent of Peteris toleration, his acceptance of me. See? He smiles vividly from his mother's arms, but turns away again. There are tense balancing moments when he plays with a toy as he sits in my lapg he is absorbed, he concentrates, but then he glances up and reaches out, and away. This is important, oh so important, he must feel that he can stay with me, for now 75 his parents must look for a home, and he and I are to stay behind. Some- how I know that it will be cruel for both of us, and it is. We start out in the morning before his mother and father leave g up the street with its shops and people - there is a theater with loud garish posters which are unreal and exciting in their vivid colors and amazing schemes. Peter sits quietly in the canvas Seat of his stroller, his feet resting on the small platform and his hands holding the metal edge on front. He watches people and smiles often, bringing comments of, Hi thereln followed by a smiling glance at me, Nice youngster. We go into a large variety store, up and down the aisles, past myriad displays 5 colored bottles, shiny tins, bright books and post cards. Outside again 3 I am careful to make myself unobtrusive. Let him be lost, absorbed in the colorful movement around him. Soon he is hungry, though, he must be fed and so we go back. And the room has nothing for him, for his mother is not there. He can only become absorbed in playing with a pan or a block for a few moments, then he will look up, cry and wander. I busy myself, moving the emptiness from the room 5 I hand him a crinkly cereal box, get his lunch. But of course it is not enough, tears mingle with his food and he cannot eat. He cries un- controllably now, ceasing with involuntary gasps only when I put him to rest on his motherls bed, and he does not stay there long. I can only wait, torn with his anguish, then lift him and put him on the bed again. He stays there longer each time, for his eyes are heavy. Oh Peter, if you would only sleep, they will be here when you wake. Though he cannot under- stand, exhaustion finally quiets him. The following days are the same, they might have held either sun or rain - I cannot remember -- and then we are in the new house. It is an empty house, however, they must go out again to get furnishings. Besides, I can stay only a little while longer and I must help them while I can. New places to walk, new things to see, maybe he senses that this is the final stop, that they will stay here, for he sleeps longer, more quietly in the afternoons and does not wake crying. Time is moving too quickly though, and he needs time. I cannot leave if - but then. I go to the travel office one day for a plane ticket home, and soon, the last day I am to stay with Peter. We have been playing all morning in the sun. A tennis ball, a heavy metal train and my ring and bracelet have been sufficient. Sometime dur- ing the morning I bring out a little bunch of the small green grapes and he eats all but a few. He seems serene, though quiet, and I cannot know what he is thinking, for his face and eyes are as they have been for days 3 un- yielding, they will not tell me anything. At noon I prepare his lunch in the kitchen, watching him from the open window. Without special intent I lean 76 out and call softly, Hello, Peter. He is startled and tums to look at me over his shoulder. Then suddenly he pushes himself to his feet, looks up, smiles and is laughing. I am stunned. Why Peter! I go to the step and hold my hands out, maybe -, Come, let's have some lunch! He stands still for a moment, still smiling, then stoops and picks up the remaining grapes. He comes toward me and with bright eyes takes one between thumb and forefinger and hands it carefully to me. I take it, put it in my mouth, and for the first time laugh with him. I take his hand and we go into the house where his lunch is waiting, and I know that today he will not cry. NEW LIFE MARTHA Moons., XII She sat so still 5 expressionless, Alive, and yet quite dead. But quiet words of sympathy Sewed up her wounds instead. When devastation eats the soil And brings forth blight and strife, Then silently a fertile hand Replants the seeds of life. 77 OH FOR THE LIFE OF A CAT! HELEN KRIEBLE, X From the time I wake to bed time I am but one of many slaves that salaam to his majesty, Venerable Cat. When I enter the kitchen in the morning, the first thing I see is a large beautiful antique chair placed ex- actly in the middle of the floor. It is covered with a pile of fuzzy Hannel of pale pink. On top of this lies M'lord Cat, who is flat on his back with all four feet in the air, his head hanging over one side of the chair and his tail dropping limply down the other, his whole unprepossessing self being ex- posed to view. He erects his whiskers, wrinkles his tri-colored nose and im- patiently waits to have his chin scratched. When I have appeased his itches and smoothed his fur, I prepare breakfast. When I first open the refrig- erator, Cat leaps into action, tears over, plants his feet firmly on the first revolving shelf and carefully scrutinizes the contents. He is of course, fed before the rest of the family. He gets yeast flavored milk, with any meat that pleases his fancy. Then Cat is invited out, and he usually accepts. When he desires to re-enter he leaps to the window sill and demands in no uncertain terms to be admitted, and he is. Then he makes a bee-line for his dinner dish hoping there will be just a little snack left. There always is. With bulging tummy he withdraws for a nap. Where? Why, on the satin- covered, goose-down quilt in the guest room, of course. Later when I am reading he climbs up beside me, sees he is not wanted, and Hops comfortably down over the page I am reading anyway. Of course, there is nothing to do but pat him and give him the attention he desires. What a life! Soft? It is disgusting. I would not take that kind of life on a silver platter . . . or would I? RAIN BRENDA ODLUM, X Into shiny glistening crowns, it forms upon the ground, And dust sprinkled tears roll down the face of the tired earth Leaving crooked fingernails behind. The patter of silvery streams and golden beams does play upon the brow. At first the greying heavens move and cast long darts of lightning And then sweet breezes come carrying the earth's tired sighs. 78 THE GAFF RIGGER ELLEN JONES, XII The sturdy gaff rigger rides her mooring Smoothly, securely, with a rhythmic swaying. Strong lines anchor her And the breakwater stretches out in protection Against the squalls and storms of the coming night. A low threatening form appears in the west Rolling rapidly on towards the east. And with it The waves of the incoming tide swell larger and larger, And the wind blows harder. O sailor, make sure her lines are secure, Lest they should suddenly part in the night. Lest the gaff rigger break away from her mooring And be dashed into splinters against the breakwater. The cloud changes shape and spreads into a storm, And, just before midnight, Sweeps over the harbor. It leaves in its wake broken masts, capsized dinghies. It leaves a breakwater covered with wreckage. It leaves a broad beamed, sturdy gaff rigger Riding smoothly, anchored firmly, in safety. I WANT NANCY RUUD, XII The plane soared above with a scream, and broke the sound barrier- thud. A boy, walking on the sidewalk, saw a little girl with a lollipop. He thrust his chubby hands into the pockets of his blue jeansg but he had spent his allowance. He frowned. I want a lollipop. 79 A dog, dirty and mangy, hearing the sound, cowered, seemed to be attracted to the side-walk, and crept into an alley - the only refuge he knew. A man laid down the tackle in his dinghy and gazed upward. The boy walked on, he was kicking a stone and following it, kicking it and following it. He passed the Held and saw the blue canal. He came to the man in the boat. What horsepower is your motor P Seven and a half,', said the man. The boy sat down near the boat. I want a lollipopf' he said. The man said, I want one too, because I could give it to you if I had one. What do you want, mister? cause I'd give it to you if I had it. The man looked at the white trail left by the plane - and remembered. Remembered the day of the big bombing, flying in the squadron, seeing his brother's plane go down 5 and then, the laughing people - they must be laughing - lots of people, even his own family laughing when he wouldn't go up again. He couldnlt face them. I want not to be afraid of planes, he said. There was a rustling in the small trees, and the head of the dog ap- peared. What do you want, fella? the man said to the dog who approached slowly with only the tip of his tail wagging at the ground. I know what you want. You just want some loving? He patted the dog and stopped. The dog lifted his front paw upon the man's hand, the man patted him again. The plane scared himj' said the boy. He's not scared now, said the man. He'll be scared of the plane next time? Why? Because it scares him. Will I be afraid next time ? said the man. If you're scared, youlre scared. I wish I had a lollipop. The man laughed. All right, let's go get one, he said. Later they came back from the store. The boy managed to whistle even with the lollipop in his mouth. He was chasing the dog, but he couldn't catch up with him. The dog was prancing, like a lamb, and tear- ing in huge X's near the man. Will you be here tomorrow ? said the boy. 80 No, said the man. I wish you would be, so I could get another lollipopf' It's about time I got home to my family, said the man. Yeah. I better go now. Bye, mister. He walked away. The man got in the boat. Then the dog whined because he couldn't jump from the land to the boat. The man lifted him in. He sat back and thought 'If you're scared, you're scared. . .' The dog lifted his paw onto the man's hand. Okay, fella, I'll pat you. But no one can give me my lollipop.

NO SYSTEM KATHERINE TUCKER, VII Whenever I go shopping I never take a list. I get what I remember, And go back for what I missed. I am vague about directions Of the way I went or came. But it really doesn't matter For I get there just the same. In fact I have no systemg I'm careless and erratic. But life to me quite dull would be If I were systematic. WILMA'S WHIM ELIZABETH KELLER, XII It was a pleasant evening, warm and quiet. The sunset was indeed a lovely sight. Wallace the Wallaby and his wife, Wilma, were very happily hopping along on their way home. Wilma kept looking down at her pouch to make sure that her baby was still sleeping soundly. And Wallace, too, glanced at his little son every so often to be sure he was safe. Yes, it was true. Mrs. Wallaby had just had a darling baby who, at this point, was sleeping peacefully in his mother's pouch. Wentworth Wallaby III was the 82 sweetest, most adorable Wallaby in the neighborhood. In fact, all the ladies at the joint bridge tournament of the Wallaby Women and the Kangaroo Club , a few days before, had definitely agreed that if there were to be a Wallaby baby contest, Wentworth III would most certainly win. And so you can see why Wallace and Wilma were happy and proud as they made their way home. Wilma was so pleased and content that she felt there was nothing more she could possibly want. It is strange sometimes how quickly we shift from one frame of mind to another. Just as Wilma was feeling thankful for her fortune, she passed under Ophelia the Opossum who was hanging by her tail from the branch of a tree. Now Wilma was not the only proud new mother in the neighbor- hood, for Ophelia too had just become a mother. But she was blessed not only with one, but with nine lovely babies, each more darling than the next. And, of course, Ophelia was commended for her offspring by the Order of Opossums just as heartily as Wilma had been by her club. The Opos- sum and the Wallaby had, as you can see, a great deal in common. But there was one great difference. Ophelia the Opossum was quite content with her fortune and remained so. Wilma the Wallaby, although content for a while, did not stay that way. First of all, Wilma wanted the lime- light for herself. And secondly, to see Mrs. Opossum hanging there by her tail, her nine children doing likewise, and all of them safe from the dangers that lurk on the ground, was almost too much for Wilma to bear. Why could she not have equal security for her own child? And so, when evening turned into night and the Opossums woke and climbed down from their high perches, as is their custom, Wilma Wallaby fmuch to Wallace's distressl climbed up the tree to the place where the Opossums had been. Determined to prove that she could do the same thing as Ophelia, she carefully wrapped her tail, usually used for jumping, around the branch where she now sat. She then gracefully lowered herself until she was swinging, head down, by her tail. Fortunately, Wallace, tired of fighting her willfulness, was sensibly waiting below. For just as Wilma swung down, poor Wentworth III went shooting out from his mother's pouch, tumbling head-first into his father's arms. The remainder of the story need not be told for it is obvious. Here- after, Wilma neither coveted the abilities of other animals, nor under- estimated the faculties with which nature had provided her. Moral: Do not try to be or do anything for which you are not suited. Sub Moral: Those who carry babies in their pouches should not hang by their tails. 83 DAY BARBARA HAMILTON, XI Virgin snow, Blue-gray trees. Scattered clouds, Luminous sun.

He moved, he swam through the turbulent rivers of life. I followed from adventure to adventure. He fought, I fought, we conquered the battles of man. He leapt from emotion to emotion as a mountain goat leaps from crag to crag ever skyward, never daring to look back. He thought, and my thoughts stretched the seas of time. We thought together, ever conquering, ever moving forward through the ages. Who was this man, or should I ask if there is not a man with whom we do not live and breathe and suffer? 84 A LAZY DOG ELIZABETH WRIGHT, VII Hey, there, dog, are you asleep? You look it, lying in a heap. The fat on you is inches tall There seems to be no lean at all. Can't you run, and jump, and play? And leap and chase the cars the way That other dogs do? you lazy pup Arouse yourself, come on, get up! ON TAILWAGGING CORNELIA REYNOLDS, XII The little dogs without much tail Now as for dogs quite large in size Just twist themselves from end to end, Who want to show their happiness, While dogs with tails too tightly curled They swish with frightening disregard Must do the same. They can't unbend. And sometimes cause a broken mess. So when you must pick your pet Choose wisely what you most prefer. Perhaps you'll find that in your case A cat is best-for they just purr. NIGHT SUSAN STERLING, VII Night Creeps over the earth Veiled in a cape of darkness, Scattering Silver stars Far out in the Milky Way, Hanging The crescent moon On a branch of the nearest tree, Leaving Our silent earth With heavenly beauty. 85 TICKET, PLEASE JAN LARSON, IX A train ride, whether to a nearby city or cross-country, is an experience no imaginative person can forget, however, it does have its drawbacks. The first annoyance you will feel is while waiting for the train. It has probably been in the station for hours, but still you may not board it. Honestly, you think, what a way to run a railroad! You return to your comic book, which, by the way, is an essential piece of equipment to the well-traveled person. Suddenly a voice remarkably resembling that of a certain bubble-blowing bandleader blares at you from all directions: Mid- Western Zephyr loading now on ta-rack-a ni-yen. You load up and head for ta-rack-a ni-yen. The next step is to board the train. This happens quickly but has a certain amount of sentiment. You bid farewell to your worried parents, and with a 'ibon voyage and a don't talk to strangers, you're on your own! They fade from your mind, for now there is the great problem of locating your roomette! Walking down the corridor, which later will become a through-way for all the people on the train, you try to connect the series of numbers, letters, and algebraic signs, with the ones on the doors. At last! There it is! E752.1f6.3! And with a great heave, you're in! Looking around, you are overcome by claustrophobia. It's so tiny! You think, Where will I sleep? Aren't there any facilities? Ilm sure my ticket said there'd be a bed and lavatory! Oh, dear! Conductor! i Within three minutes a friendly porter has explained everything in a very professional manner. You feel like a nincompoop. Settling down long enough to recover from this complex, you realize how much fun you're going to have. Thirty minutes later you are experiencing a novel sensation, that of walking in a moving train. Soon you have a perfect pair of train-legs and can easily walk the length of your car. Little do you know what lies ahead . . . the perils of walking through a crowded dining car or down the aisle of a coach, all eyes fixed upon you. Back in your living room-bedroom-lavatory you become very aware of the fact that you are hungry. This brings on panic. You wonder, where's the dining car? What do I do now? Help! Porter to the rescue. You are led into an elaborate dining hall with clean, shining silverware, snowy white tableclothes, and a graceful pink rose on each table. A waiter seats you at a table already occupied by two elderly ladies, both obviously experienced travelers. 86 Oh, Amy, I simply cannot bear, why, hello, child, to ride backwards! Oh, no! agreed Amy shrilly. You glance out the window and wonder at which end of the train the engine is situated. Before you are able to figure this out, a fancy menu appears at your place. You notice the instructions: Please do not give our waiters verbal orders. You wonder how you are going to perform this feat and still get your dinner. Then you read on to find that pencils are used. Scribble, scribble, and a marinated fish stares unconsciously up at you. Gobble, gobble . . . one thing about train food . . . it's good! Sleeping on a train is very useful. If you can sleep on a train, you can sleep anywhere. First you put on your pajamas, brush your teeth, and pin up your hair. Then comes the vicious struggle with the folding bed. Finally you yank it from its hiding place in the wall, and squeeze between its tightly-tucked-in sheets. For what seems to be eternity, you Stare at the sky, lulled to a state of semi-consciousness by the now-pleasant rocking of the train. Oh, no, you think. It can't be. But it is. You creep out of bed and stand in the aisle, forcing that bed up into its place in the wall. It won't go. So you hold it hovering over your head while you use the well-concealed facilities. After repeating said struggle with said bed, you fall asleep easily. Waking up also is a happy fight. Not caring a bit about that bed, you slam it toward the wall. Next, you race to wa.sh and dress before the train stops at your station. You make it with ease and soon you are greeting your aunt and uncle. The train ride is forgotten completely for the moment. But the next time you're alone with nothing to do, you'll think back . . . back . . . and laugh as you've never laughed before. NIGHT FANTASY CLAUDIA SWETT, VIII Last night, I saw Orion reach down and lift the moon by her starry handle. The moon swung gently and spread golden icing about her in thick layers. The Big and Little Bear walked on padded feet to drink from the Big Dipper. The Pleiades left their position and hurried toward me, talking and laughing . . . Then I awoke. Pleiades, Bears, and Dippers were gone and only their starry outline was left. But . . . I thought Orion winked. 87 DIRECTORY 88 Images not available 1 1.,V I, IAA 'li-5 90 Images not available QI Images not available CLASS XI 92 Images not available CLASS XII 93 Images not available FACULTY AND STAFF 94 Images not available Exclusive Agency hr the correct Slaetlana' sweater both pullover and cardigan and many other items for the prep school girl ir Button-down and round -A' Knee length hose collar shirts t Boss weeiuns 'A' Bermuda shorts 'A' Belts and String Ties in ir London Weatherproof D 81 J Anderson Gingham Raincoats and Hats and Tartan Plaids -k Our Classic Polo Coat CLOTHIER FURNISHER IMPORTER 24 TRUMBULL STREET 0 JACKSON 5-2l39 U HARTFORD 3, CONNECTICUT AMERICAN COAL CO., INC.
