As the final days of our senior year fly by and we are involved in the busy closing functions of our years at Park, we seldom are able to find time to stop and think about those who graduated before us. The fact is, the class of 1956 is not the first graduating class but the thirty-sixth. The members of those earlier classes are the ones largely responsible for establishing the stand- ards and traditions of Park by which we have benefited and by which our successors for years to come will benefit. Our class is well-prepared academically, physically and morally to face the world and uphold our alma mater because there were those who went before and broke the trail for our own education at Park. Only in the past eight years has an annual become an established part of Park School. The present seniors therefore dedicate the 1956 Panther to those earlier graduates who have never been accorded adequate recognition for their very con- siderable part in building the school as we know it today. lt is our hope that the pages of this book will serve to recall to them the experiences of earlier days at Park.

Established by a group of Indianapolis fathers who wished to provide for their sons -and other young men of the community a program of college-preparatory studies and carefully super- vised athletics, it was called Boys' Preparatory School until 1923, when the Board of Directors purchased for the school the twenty-three-acre Carl Fisher estate. The original buildings of Blossom Heath-the name of the Fisher property- were skillfully adapted to school use, Mr. Fisher's house becoming the main build- ing, his mother's smaller dwelling the headmaster's cottage, a five-car garage the science building. Little boys began to burgeon in what had been a glass-topped greenhouse, the Middle School plunged into an indoor swimming pool lafter it had been coveredl, and the Fishers' indoor tennis court became the gymnasium. From its founding the school has insisted upon mastery of the basic disciplines. lnformal but orderly, it has encouraged-in small classes-a close student-teacher relationship. Park owes its present estimable academic standing to countless loyal parents and boys and to dedicated teachers and administrators, among them Mr. Page, headmaster during the difficult period of the thirties, Mr. Miner, long the beloved Latin master, Mr. Palmer of the mathematics department-happily still with us, and Mr. G. M. Garrett, master and headmaster, who since 1952 has seen the school become affiliated with the Secondary Education Board and the Cum Laude Society and has worked, with the Board of Directors, to initiate the Development Program. The alumni remember these and others-and of course the school itself- with advantages. And so shall we of the class of 1956. 4 Pres ent... The life ofa student at Park is rarely the same from one day to the next. Boys cram for College Board exams, work on history projects, draw maps for Latin and history, construct solid geometry models, and grow plants and molds for biology. On the academic side, then, it's a new world every day. Every student is included in the regular athletic program. If he is willing to put in a little extra work at his favorite sport, he is almost sure to make the team sooner or later. What with full schedules in football, basketball, baseball, tennis, and wrestling, almost every boy can find in the gym or on the playing fields some- thing he genuinely enioys. The Student Council, the Upper School governing body, sponsors a series of social activities involving the entire high school enrollment, among them the Christmas dance and the Carnival. There are four activity clubs on campus, open to all students in the Upper School. Oldest is the Varsity Club, for which a boy becomes eligible by earning a letter in any sport. To qualify for the second, the Prompters Club, a student must either fill a role in a school play or serve on Cl backstage crew for such a produc- tion. The highly popular Glee Club and the Ten Ring Club, the latter consisting of gun fanciers, complete the picture. Three publications-the Red and Black, the Panther, and the Pen-afford experience in writing, makeup, and business management. SAME BUll.DlNG, NEW SIGN fa. wja' aff' ij-Kbkw . ,A 5 Future ARCHITECT'S SKETCH OF THINGS TO COME From its establishment Park School has placed more emphasis on quality teach- ing than on physical plant. For some time past, however, the Board of Directors and the Headmaster have recognized that sturdy and graceful buildings age and wear out and that the boys have interests they cannot pursue and talents they cannot exercise in existing surroundings. Accordingly, the Board has within the last year initiated and carried through a Development Program intended to provide for the construction of one new unit and the renovation of the present buildings and for the retention and adequate compensation of a first-rate faculty. Acting under the advice of expert consultants, the Directors and Mr. Garrett have given unstintingly of their time and energies and have enlisted the sympathy and assistance of friends of Park throughout the city. The program of construction expected to begin this summer will furnish Park boys with more classroom space, new dining facilities, a new study h-all, a better- equipped gymnasium, a new biology laboratory, an adequate library, and- wonderful to say-an auditorium. Once construction of the addition to the main building is completed, the boys can move in and improvement of the old structure can begin. The staff of the Panther i-s deeply sensible of its debt of gratitude to those Indianapolis citizens who, aware of what Park has meant to this community in the past, have determined that it shall mean much more in the future. 6 THE THIRTIES ACADEMICS SEEKING THE BUBBLE REPUTATlON THE FIFTIES- FULL OF WISE SAWS AND MODERN INSTANCES THE TURN OF THE CENTURY- SECOND CHILDISHNESS AND MERE 0BLIVION 7 G. M. GARRETT-HEADMASTER Practically no man is more representative of Parlc's history, past and present, than our headmaster, Mr. G. M. Garrett. Mr. Garrett came to Park in 1929, as a science teacher and a coach. He left in 1940 to teach in Detroit. ln 1952 he returned to Park as headmaster. More than any other single person, he is responsible for the fine school spirit and scholastic rating for which the school is known. Since his return to Park the enrollment has been at its highest, the school has been admitted to the Cum Laude society, and the Development Program has been initiated. Thank you, Mr. Garrett, for another great year. 8 ENGLISH English at Park School is one ofthe basic subjects required in each of the four years of high school and taught throughout the Lower and Middle schools. The purpose of the English program is to teach the student to think clearly and to express his ideas, in speech as well as writing, with clarity and force. Through acquainting each boy with a number of English and American classics, the Depart- ment further seeks to increase his capacity for enioyment and to broaden his vicarious experience, as well as to provide him with models of expression. Those who comprise the staff ofthe English Department are Mr. Foxlow, chair- man, Mr. Harrity, and Mr. Taggart. 9 MATHEMATICS No Park graduate lacks intensive training in mathematics. Included in the mathematics program are courses ranging from simple arithmetic to trigonometry and college algebra. In his progress through the Upper School, the student of course encounters first- and second-year algebra and plane and solid geometry. Completing his thirtieth year at Park, Mr. Palmer, head of the Department, teaches high school math. He is assisted by Mr. Kimber, our new assistant head- master, who teaches the eighth grade and a special algebra course 'For new boys, and by Mr. Baker, who puts the seventh graders through their paces in arithmetic and introduces them to rudimentary principles of algebra. 10 LANGUAGES The Foreign Language Department offers a choice of three languages-one classical, two modern-to Park School students. The Latin classes, taught by Mr. Smith, include students in grades seven through twelve, while instruction in Spanish and French is given by Mr. Watkins to students in the Upper School only. Seventh and eighth grade Latin consists of basic grammar and vocabulary, and more advanced grammar and vocabulary, respectively. Latin I Special is the course offered to all students above the seventh grade who have had no previous Latin, in it all the grammar, vocabulary, and translations of two years are tele- scoped into one. Freshmen and sophomores read Caesar's Commentaries on 'the Gallic Wars, and iuniors and seniors study the Orations of Cicero, in addition to excerpts from the works of Ovid and Catullus. ln alternate years, the iuniors and seniors read Virgil's Aeneid. Spanish courses include Spanish l, consisting of basic grammar and vocabu- lary, and Spanish ll, made up of more advanced grammar and Spanish reading. This year the students in Spanish ll read the novel Amparo, by Perez Escrich. Mr. Watkins held classes in French I and French Ill this year, with his first-year students studying fundamentals. French lll was primarily a reading class, with the students reading parts of The Count of Monte Cristo, Les Miserables, and a short French novel, Sans Famille. 'li SCIENCE Park School offers a full science curriculum for Upper School students-biology for sophomores, chemistry for juniors, and physics for seniors. The Science Depart- ment has its own building for classes and laboratory work, a building equipped with valuable instruments and chemical supplies 'For student use. The Park School Development Program includes plans for a new science building designed to give the school even better facilities for work in this vital field. During the past year Assistant Headmaster Kimber headed the Department and taught biology, while Mr. Garrett experienced the pleasure of returning to his old iob of teaching chemistry and physics. 12 HISTORY The courses currently offered in the History Department are: geography, in the seventh grade, American history, in grades eight and twelve, world civiliza- tion in grade nine, and economics, in either grade eleven or grade twelve. The first of the courses in American history, taught to students in the eighth grade by Mr. Baker, deals with the principal movements and most important figures in the history of our country. The second course, conducted by Mr. Harrity, the Department chairman, enables the seniors to probe the political, economic, and social ideas on which present-day society rests. Students in this course under- take a number of research proiects throughout the year. The purpose of Mr. Berkeley's course in world civilization is to view the history of the world, from the stone age to the present day, with an eye to gaining a better perspective of the world situation today. Geography, also taught by Mr. Berkeley, reveals to the seventh grader the foundations of geography and the ways in which they are related to current world events. ln Mr. Berkeley's discussion course in economics, the students survey consumer and marketing problems, banking, prices, and the like. This course is intended to give the student a better understanding of the American economic system. In addition to the foregoing, courses in ancient history and modern European history are offered from time to time. 'I3 LOWER SCHCOL PROGRAM Shrill cries of Sir and Ma'am, shouts of ioy, racing of feet Through the cor- ridors, sound of blithe laughter across the school grounds-that's the Lower School. A place of study and play for boys in grades one through six, the Lower School building is the long structure south of the lab. A visitor looking through the win- dows might observe the teaching of subiects ranging from arithmetic to counsel- ling. He might imagine that he was watching the molding of young minds-and he would not be wrong. Under the direction of Mr. Holzman and his able staff of teachers, the boys are grounded in the fundamentals ofthe subjects they will have to cope with throughout their school experience. Lower school boys learn the way to play as well as the way to work. Good sportsmanship and fair play are among the qualities fostered in their program. 14 SENIORS I AND WHICH IS TO COME AND WHICH IS I5 WHICH WAS CLASS OF 1956 The only thing that all the seniors have in common is the senior room-their private domain and refuge. ln practically every other respect they are different from one another, with aspirations running from poetry to a naval career, with sizes ranging from ceiling height to rowboat width, and with ages between pre- driving and eighteen. To clarify their differences, shall we take a short tour around the school park- ing lot. The first car you are likely to run into, or vice versa, is a Ford Thunderbird belonging to a short, squat heavyweight wrestler with a knowledge of landscap- ing. Next in the parade is a '48 Cadillac owned appropriately by the eldest mem- ber ofthe class. A Nash Rambler convertible, somewhere in the lot, is the property of a Navy man who in his spare time runs the Varsity Club, Student Council and Panther. We come now to a '54 Studebaker, whose owner may best be described as a combination of Duncan Hines and Edgar Guest. Leaning against something over against something over on some side of the lot is a godforsaken bicycle, the property of a person who tinkers with guided missiles and hearing-aid prompters for amateur theatrical productions. The next person, although he rarely drives his car, has an extended rear end of his own and a vast knowledge of Urbana, Ohio. These are only a few. The rest of the owners include a farm boy in lvy League clothing, a sports car enthusiast who wants to ring the gong for J. Arthur Rank movies, a journalist, the president of the Park School actors' union and past editor of a small newspaper, an enthusiast, and a person who, if he isn't arguing, isn't awake. Here we end our trip around the parking area, and may it be added that any similarity among the seniors is unintentional and purely coincidental. 16 'MAN, lT'S A HOT DAY CHARLES ADKINS ln addition to filling a gap in the line of the football team, Charlie also played an important part in the activities of the school. He won two letters in football and two in wrestling. Although he is not a baseball letterman, Charlie abetted the team much by pitching batting practices. He was a member of the Varsity Club and was very active in that organization. i It is difficult to visualize Charlie not sitting behind the wheel of his big black Caddy or not wearing his customary uniform of char- coal black flannel trousers, white shirt, and black loafers. Though he rarely talks about himself, he is much interested in flying and trap shooting. Ten 'I7 Red Football DAN EICHER In his three and one-half years at Park, Dan has won three letters in football and two in wrestling. He was one of the chief agitators for a wrestling team, once it was formed, he captained it in its first two years. As an active member of the Prompters Club, Dan has appeared in three plays and has proved himself an absolute wizard at rounding up properties and furniture. 2,3 Members of the Upper School will not soon forget Dan's salmon-pink crew-neck sweater and his red Thunderbird. The boys in the junior class agree that Dan was one of the weightiest causes of their failure to take possession of the senior room. ln classes he might not always have had an answer, but outside class he invariably had a quick comeback. MAT MAGIC DAVID FAUVRE As business manager throughout his junior and senior years, Dave ably handled the financial affairs of the Red and Black. Elected to the position of vice-president of the Stu- dent Council his senior year, he has been active in both the Glee Club and Prompters. Athletics-wise, Dave was awarded three letters in tennis, one in baseball, and two in basket- ball. ln his senior year he was elected to the post of secre- tary of the Varsity Club and also was chosen to be one of Park's representatives to the Junior Red Cross. I . r Dave's chartreuse Ford, which was an obiect of much interest the first time it appeared on the campus, has occupied a space in 'Front of the laboratory almost every day since then. He was one of the first to bring the Ivy Look to Park School and Dave's lean 'Frame comple- ments any tapered Eastern style.

Playing both second base and shortstop, Fred won a letter in baseball in the spring of his first year at the school. He was a mem- ber of the varsity basketball and baseball teams his senior year and a member of the Varsity Club for two years. Having been elected to the Citizenship Honor Roll several times, Fred is a possible candidate for the Frank Meek Memorial Award. Besides playing basketball and baseball, Fred likes dragging in his '55 Ford and horseback rid- ing. He has supported the school in all of its activities and has bolstered the spirit of the student body. OOPS, MISSED AGAIN! DON HINES l 'M Don's name consistently appeared onthe honor roll through- out his high school career. Having worked his way up through the offices of the Red and Black staff, Don was the editor-in-chief his senior year. His class chose him to repre- sent them on the Student Council in his sophomore and iunior years. Appearing in one of the leading roles in Prompters' presentation of Bernardine, he did an admirable iob as Beau, the biggest land most sensitivei of a gang of big wheels. Whenever Don is on the campus, you can be sure he is carrying a slide rule, a solid geom- eiry model, or proof sheets. He is credited with having conjured up the Dunk the Diver Car- nival stunt. His invention backfired, however: he had to be one of the divers. HORA NOVISSIMA, TEMPORA PESSIMA SUNT Cum Re Prompters Club Park Pen ...... Quiz THOMAS KIRBY Tom won three letters in football and was a member of the Varsity Club. Having a keen interest in antique and present- day firearms, he was one of the founders of the recently organized Ten Ring Club and president of the club its first two years. Among Tom's other interests are boating and mechanical drawing. To coin a phrase, Tom could write a book on the ways and means he employed to get out of the eighth-period study hall. lt seems Tom got a haircut each week and went down town to buy parts for his motorcycle every other week. No doubt Mr. Foxlow will long remem- ber Tom's words, Gosh! I get blamed for everything. For all that, the editor of the Panther, whose elephant good, along with Tom's camera, provided the photographs in this annual, asserts that once Tom is started on a task he does an excellent job. en President THE KEENNESS OF THAT PRACTICED EYE GOETHE LINK Circulation manager of the Red and Black for the past four years, Goethe has made the thump . . . click, thump . . . click of the Addressograph and stapling machines a famil- iar sound in the halls of the Upper School building-the study hall not excepted. He appeared in last year's Prompt- ers Club production, Brother Rat, and this year was in charge of electrical problems connected with Bernardine. He won the major P in wrestling his senior year. l AND WHEN HE WALKS THROUGH THAT DOOR it I Goethe's extensive knowledge of ultra-violet light and the effects it creates aided the Stu- dent Council in creating a false sky for the Christmas dance. Mr. Garrett calls Goethe a kitchen chemist, referring to the manner in which he mixes substances to gain the end he desires. Park men met at the door of the lab by a sickening stench weren't far out in guess- ing that Goethe was within, standing over a bubbling brew. Red Pen . . Wrestling 23 Red and Black ....

Quiz 'Em on the Air Team Red Cross WILLIAM MCPHERSON Bill, a member of the Red and Black staff for four years, was in his senior year associate editor of the paper and editor of the Pen. He took the place of Dave Darbro as the leading voice in the first tenor section of the Glee Club and was also active in the presentations of the Prompters Club. ln Virgil Bill became interested in poetry and, being Bill, cultivated this interest, bringing forth a series of verse efforts in a Red and Black column called Mads Almanac. Moreover, Bill kept his pen busy in writing for the Teen Star and in taking the minutes of the Student Council. With all these activities he still managed to maintain his academic honor standings. Equiiation is one of Bill's many hobbies. On weekends he can be seen around town, wear- ing a ten-gallon hat, western boots, and a most colorful shirt. lndeed, he tried, at the begin- ning of the year, to wear a different exotic shirt to school every day, but by the end of November he had exhausted the ingenuity of the shirtmakers.

During his iunior and senior years he was sports edi- tor of the Red and Black, doing an excellent job keeping track ofthe many athletic events at the school. A member ofthe Varsity Club for three years, he was elected treasurer in his senior year, in which he also turned his attention to acting as a member ofthe Bernardine cast. Steve is an extraordinarily keen student of chemistry and physics. Especially interested in theory, he nevertheless waxed intensely prac- tical when he had to gather up five pounds of mercury he had accidentally spilled on the laboratory floor. His penchant for argument resulted in his classmates' dubbing him Socrates. ONCE MORE-I'LL EXPLAIN IT ONCE MORE . . . Red Glee Reichel Award 25 TORRENCE ROGERS lt is difficult to think of a Park School organization in which Torry has not played an active and constructive role. Officer of Prompters, stalwart of the Glee Club, editor of the Panther, president of both the Student Council and the Varsity Club- the list is almost endless. Participating every year in all three varsity sports, he proved, as quarterback, to be the back- bone ofthe football team during his iunior and senior years. Much more than a mere ioiner, Torry is most serious in his application to his books: his relaxed attitude is deceptive. He is endowed with an excellent sense of balance and a strong sense of responsibility. ln all his offices he got things done. 2, 3,4 THAT'S ALL SHE WROTE' JOHN STILES On the Red and Black staff all four years of high school, John served as editor-in-chief his iunior year. He was active in school dramatics and was elected president of Prompters this year. Holder of four letters in baseball, John was the star catcher of the team. He earned three letters in football, having been center in his sophomore and iunior years and tackle in his senior year. During his senior year John became quite a history enthusiast. In the afternoons he was often seen arguing with Mr. Harrity about some of the opinions broached in the senior history class. Notable among his academic achievements was the composition of an excellent report on Indiana liberal and con- servative opinion, which paper was based upon personal interviews.

He won a letter in football his iunior year and letters in both basketball and football his senior year. Corky was a member of the Glee Club throughout high school, doing an excellent job as a bass. He also was a feature writer on the Red and Black staff his freshman and sophomore years and a member of Prompters his last two years. Corky's black Merc was many a boy's transpor- tation to and from school this year. Being blunt was Corky's pastime and the things which he popped up with at iust the wrong time brought many a laugh. He will belong remembered by the underclassmen for his snappy appearance in his lvy League olive green suit.

Standing: Tom Esterline David Hargitt, Duane Pritchett, Bob Woodring, Lee Gery, Dick Bennett, Dan Lovelace, Steve Medios JUNIOR CLASS Claiming the rear bench on the south side of the study hall as the Junior Room, this year's third-year men have made a formidable array here at mid-morning milk and crackers and after lunch. Underclassmen and several seniors have feared to tread in this section of the room. Of the twelve iuniors, Tom Dalglish, Dave Rose, and Bob Burke attained the honor roll, Dalglish, Lee Gery, and Richard Bennett were members ofthe Red and Black staff, and Rose, Burke, Tom Esterline, and Duane Pritchett served the Panther. Varsity letters in football went to Esterline, Pritchett, Rose, and Dave Hargitt, in basketball to Esterline, Pritchett, and Rose, in wrestling to Hargitt. Rose was consistently elected to the Citizenship Honor Roll. Dalglish, Burke, and Esterline contributed their histrionic talents to the Prompters Club production of Bernardine, while Hargitt and Rose participated in Quiz 'Em on the Air. Repre- senting the class on the Student Council were Pritchett and Burke. The class has worked hard to wind up a busy year with a fabulous Junior Prom. 30 SOPHOMORE CLASS Although the sophomore class is one of the smallest classes in school, it is never- theless extraordinarily well represented in school functions. There were sophomore lettermen in each of the five maior sports-football, basketball, baseball, wrestling, and tennis. Throughout the year several boys maintained honor or high honor rat- ings. Jamie Campaigne, Doug Hill, and Steve Spencer were all on the Red and Black staff. David Chambers was a member of the Panther staff. Jock Fortune and Chambers represented the class on the Student Council. ln their class effort at the Carnival, the sophomores had a successful ring-toss booth with parakeets as prizes. Doug Hill was the high salesman in the school for the magazine drive. The class also had a strong representation on the Quiz 'Em team and in the Glee Club, Ten Ring Club, Prompters Club, and Varsity Club.

Baxter Rogers, class representative on the Student Council, also 'served on the Panther staff, along with Bill Wishard, Henry Whitesell, and Hurst Groves. White- sell and Bob Nelson wrote for the Red and Black, and Wishard, Whitesell, Rogers, Groves, Jerry Hazlewood, Jim Morrison, John Carpenter, and Mark Campaigne helped ready for the boards Prompters' production Bernardine. Several boys made the honor roll for the first semester, while Wishard and Groves achieved high honors. In citizenship the class also excelled, with the names of Jim Lamb, Jim Urbain, Wishard, and Nelson appearing on the Student Council's Citizenship Honor Roll. Mr. Watkins, adviser to the class, was always ready with help and sound sug- gestions, particularly in the days immediately preceding the Carnival.

MIDDLE SCHOOL LEADERS Organized as an agency through which the boys of the Middle School can plan social and service activities, this group was headed by Mark Beesley. Other offi- cers were Philip Bredell, secretary, and John Triller, treasurer. A high point on the Middle School's social calendar this year was the council- sponsored stag party held in January. The chaperons for the party were Mr. Fox- low, the council's faculty adviser, Mr. Kimber, who conducted the games in lively style, and Mr. Taggart. This year's Council not only carried through its own activities but also assumed some business left from the previous year, such as installing a new study hall book- case and providing some much-needed reference books. The members also brought up to date the plaque recognizing sportsmanship and worthy citizenship, an award provided by the 1953-54 council. One of the Council's last tasks was bringing up to date the tennis sportsmanship trophy. 33 IN THE ONLY PLACE BIG ENOUGH TO HOLD THEM First row, left to right: Bill Currie, Jay Williams, Steve Valunet Second row John Landgraf Phil Bredell, Bob Schloss, John Triller, Carter Fortune, Chip Burns Third row Tom Beasley Bert McClure Bob Smith, Jack Weddle, Alan Keller, Em Davis, Tom Sams Mark Beesley CNot shown John Augus tus, Ed Harris, Evan Noyes, Tom Schloss.J CLASS EIGHT The eighth grade, nineteen strong, has contributed fully to general school life and has had a successful year. The Middle School Student Council, now in its fourth year, boasts three eighth-grade officers. Mark Beesley, president, John Triller, treasurer, and Phil Bredell, secretary, have all done their share in keeping the Council a going concern. The very active eighth-grade counselling group has held several field trips and parties. In October this aggregation went to Shades State Park for an overnight camping trip with the seventh grade. The boys had plenty of fun but didn't get much sleep. The highlights of the trip included a mudball fight, with the chaperons as active combatants, and a night hike led by the fearless Indian scout Mr. Taggart, who proceeded to get lost with his group. The eighth graders have enioyed two school parties, each affording loads of fun for the boys. In January they held a stag party with the seventh graders and in March a mixed party. The class has also held its own scholastically. Eddie Harris was a consistent High Honor Roll student, and Phil Bredell and Alan Keller made honors through- out the year. At the annual Park-Tudor Carnival, the eighth-grade booth contributed heavily to the coffers of the Middle School Student Council. The boys exhibited numerous hobbies during the Garden Tour. As usual, the eighth grade was a lively group of boys having a good time at Park. 34 CLASS SEVEN The seventh grade this year was the largest class in the school, consisting as it did of twenty-two boys. Three ot them-Bill McFarlane, Greg Zolezzi, and Don Mann-made high honors for the first semester, while Alex Rogers and Hank Mat- thew made honors. The class took one overnight trip, sponsored by the Counselling Program, to Shades State Park, planned another such trip to a different place, and ioined the eighth grade for a stag party under the auspices of the Middle School Student Council, in which Rogers and John Nelson were the seventh-grade representatives. Under the careful guidance of Mr. Berkeley, class adviser, the group gave a good account of itself at the Park-Tudor Carnival with a ping-pong shoot.

If it were so com- pared, Mr. John Holzman, Lower School director, would be the mayor, the play- ground committee, the town council, and the pupils, the city s staunch and upright citizenry. The Lower School has done much for the benefit of the entire school. With the money obtained from the magazine drive and Carnival, it has purchased two reading accelerators, many books, a number of movies, and several slide films, it has also contributed seventy-five dollars to the welfare drive and thirty to the Children's Museum. Following a pleasant Park School custom of many years, the Lower School presented the Christmas Pageant before an appreciative audience of parents, faculty, and students. Another outstanding feature of the Lower School is its Playground Committee, whose purpose is to insure good behavior on the playground during recess. Advised by Mr. Robert Outcalt, the committee has done another good job this year. PLAYGROUND POTENTATES First row, left to right: Steve Falender, Don Test, John Kitchen.

Standing: Jim Stone, Mike Springer, Charles Maxwell, John Storer, Kent Berglund, Bob Tappan, Steve Mattox, Mr. Holzman. This year the boys of the sixth grade issued their stu- dent newspaper twice. The following were on the staff: Steve Gregory and Mike Springer, editors, Kent Berglund and Peter Lieber, assistant editors, Don Davis and Frank Teague, sportswriters, Ted Lilly, Tim Sams, David Dur- lacher, Bill Keller, and Charles Maxwell, feature writers, J. Stone, copyreader. Class reporters were Steve Cline, fifth grade, G. Storer, fourth grade, Dave Williams, third grade, Bob Tappan, second grade. The cartoons were by Steve Feinstone and Steve Cuthbert, the humor was by Steve Gaubatz and Steve Mattox. The class was also quite scholarly, eleven boys mak- ing honor rolls throughout the year. They were John Storer, Durlacher, Feinstone, Lilly, Jim Stone, Cuthbert, Keller, Gaubatz, Berglund, Lieber, and Davis. Among their other activities and duties the boys took turns raising and lowering the flag every morning and evening. The class took four field trips during the year-to the Naval Armory, Holcomb Observatory, the Times building, and the Children's Museum. Cuthbert was chairman of the class, Feinstone, vice- chairman, Lilly, treasurer, Gaubatz, secretary, Sams, security officer. 38 CLASS SIX Industrious-that's the word for the sixth grade. All through the year the boys of the class have been hard at work on numerous proiects, such as their student newspaper the Pee- Wee Tattler , a special play, Proposal by Proxy, given at Thanksgiving, field trips, and iust plain hard work.

Back: Charles Esterline, Gary Huber, John Matthews, Richard Bosch, Pat Martin Again the fifth grade was a leading class in the school, its members active in all school functions. The class per- formed well in the magazine drive and set up one of the most popular booths at the annual carnival, the Draw a Star game, directed by Pat Martin. Books were pur- chased with the money earned at the booth. The boys elected Steve Pickett and Pat Martin as play- ground chairmen. Andy Falender made the A honor roll, while Richard Basch, Gary Huber, and Steve Pickett achieved the B honor roll. The class took trips to the Naval Ordnance Plant, a tire station, the Children's Museum, and Conner Farm. In the fall they held a hobby show, with Gary Huber and Jim Hardy taking first and second places, respectively. At the Garden Tour they displayed a well-executed geography project. Throughout the year the members of the class worked together as a team, coming to know what citizenship means. 39 ROADTEST Some of the group's projects included a Pioneer Village in connection with their read- ing and social studies classes and a play, A Christmas Ad- venture, by Grace M. Jac- ombe, which they presented in the Lower School Christmas program. In athletics the fourth grade, under the supervision of Mr. Outcalt, engaged in many inter-class games with the third grade. They also ranked high in scholarship, with James Durlacher, Jeff Love- lace, Tom Prager, and Erik Rinne continually placing on the B Honor Roll. CLASS FOUR The fourth grade, with fourteen students, was one of the most active classes in the Lower School. Field trips, along with class and school proiects, were included in the activities which this class undertook, completed, and enioyed. Early in the school year, Jeff Lovelace and Erik Rinne were elected by their classmates as Playground Commit- tee representatives, and in the spring Bill Gambill was made Carnival chairman for the fourth grade. The proiect decided upon was a Pistol Shoot, using pistols which shot rubber darts. Among their several field trips were visits to Conner Farm, the General Motors Powerama at Allison's, and the WISH-TV studios. The fourth grade also held several swim- ming parties at the Indianapolis Athletic Club and an ice cream party in May.

CLASS THREE The third grade, under the direction of Mr. Outcalt, enioyed an active year, with its sixteen members partici- pating in many class and school proiects. Foremost among its activities were hikes in and around Indian- apolis, with the Lower School Sports and Hiking Club formed last year. The third grade took field trips to the huge new Stop and Shop Supermarket located on U. S. 52, and to Power- ama at Allison's. Among the class's proiects were a booth at the Carnival, in which customers, with water pistols, shot at third graders, and a snow fort built in late Janu- ary. The fort was so large and so well built that it remained standing, at least partially, for nearly all of February. The Playground Committee representatives from class three were Bill Shafer and Don Test. In addition to main- taining a good scholastic average, the class had daily intra- and inter-class athletic contests, thereby partici- pating fully in the many activities of the school.

In addition to participating in many school activi- ties, they took 'several interesting field trips, including visits to the Children's Museum, the General Motors Powerama, the Riverside Fish Hatchery, and L. S. Ayres Department Store. Representatives to the Playground Committee, which is similar to the Student Council in the Middle and Upper Schools, were John Domont and Griff McClure, from the first grade, and Bill Julian and Bill Lee, from the second. In the first grade, Campbell Dalglish and Dan Noyes received awards for scholastic honors and exemplary conduct, while Carl Bose, Russell Hamilton, and Bill Julian made the Honor Roll from class two. The first grade had an Indiana display in the gym for the Garden Tour, while the second grade presented an exhibit on the evolution of transportation. During the Park-Tudor Carnival, the combined classes sold balloons. The students of the first and second grades, with their interest in both scholarship and athletics, will continue to be a credit to Park as they move on through the grades.

ORGANIZATIONS DO YOU BELONG? . ffl IW 13 -Y 43 CAN YOU IMAGINE? DR. COTTON DISCUSSES EDUCATION OF THE FREE AND RESPONSIBLE CITIZEN CUM LAUDE SOCIETY On April I3 of this year, the Park School chapter of the Cum Laude Society was formally installed at a cere- mony in Trinity Episcopal Church. Following presentation of the charter by Mr. Kenneth A. Evans of Columbus Academy, sixth district Cum Laude regent, Professor J. Harry Cotton of Wabash College, the principal speaker, discussed the importance of high scholarship. Represen- tatives of nearby Cum Laude chapters extended greetings to the new group. The purpose of Cum Laude, established in I906, is to recognize scholastic achievement. Our chapter succeeds the now-defunct Park School Scholastic Society. Formed at the Tome School in Port Deposit, Maryland, where Mr. Garrett began teaching, the Society has grown rather slowly, partly because of extreme conservatism. The 'fact that less than two hundred schools have Cum Laude chapters points up the worth of the Park charter. Named to charter membership in the Society were Messrs. Garrett, Harrity, Holzman, Palmer, Schwilck, Smith, Watkins, and Foxlow from the faculty and John Allen, Stephen DeVoe, John Esterline, Herbert Hill, Rich- ard McCrae, Peter Weldon, and Philip Whitesell, all mem- bers ofthe Park School Scholastic Society. Don Hines was elected a member-in-course for T954-I955. Mr. Foxlow is president of the chapter, and Mr. Watkins secretary- treasurer. INSTALLATION PRINCIPALS First row, left to right: Messrs.

Standing: Jock Fortune, David Chambers, Mr. Taggart, Bob Burke, Baxter Rogers. Practically every school function around Park can be traced back to the Student Council. Through the unceasing efforts of its president, Torry Rogers, the council has lived up to the standards set by its predecessors. The council took up its responsibilities last May and saw to it that the school year ended in good fashion. In September it again sponsored the traditional pump handle. The group wasted no time in starting its one big fund drive, which took the form ofa magazine sale during the first two weeks in October. The drive broke all previous records by showing a total of over 53,000 in sales. To augment this drive, the council held several paper sales during the year, which efforts kept the treasury well in the black A homecoming dance was staged after the Louisville game to celebrate the accomplishments of the grid team. In December, the council turned the gym into a winter wonderland complete with a forest of twenty-foot pine trees, snow, and an illuminated setting of stars. The council's annual Park-Tudor Carnival in March proved to be another success. Throughout the year the council was concerned with citizenship and, as an incentive toward this end, accepted the Frank Meek Memorial Plaque for outstanding citizenship, an award given by the Meek family and the University of Pennsylvania Club. The first recipient of this very meaningful honor will be chosen by the council before commencement. 45 STUDENT COUNCIL AFTER THE BALL WAS OVER NO BUGS IN THIS ISSUE, ANYWAY Seated, left to right: Steve Ransburg, sports editorp Lee Gery, Dick Bennett, Bill McPherson Jamie Campaigne, Tom Dalglish, managing editor, Doug Hill, Steve Spencer. Dave Fauvre business manager, supports the board, while Don Hines, editor-in-chief, stands. There will be a meeting of the Red and Black staff. . . With this announcement the school newspaper staff goes to work again--with a deadline only three short weeks away. The hierarchy of the staff present their ideas for the next issue to the leg men, who proceed in true news- paper fashion to carry out their assignments. Once the copy deadline is met, the editors live among clattering typewriters and litters of paper until they have made up the issue. By dint of burning the midnight oil and making countless trips to the printer's, they publish a paper that provides ci chronology of school affairs. The business staff then goes into action to see to it that every member of the Park family receives a copy-and that the bills are paid. Before the books are balanced for the last issue, a new meeting is called and new deadlines set. As the cycle goes, so goes the Red and Black. 46 THE RED and BLACK SAILS FOR SALES THE PANTHER SQUAT'S MY LINE THEY ALL SHOW UP FOR PICTURES Seated, left to right: Bob Burke, Tom Esterline, Tom Kirby, Hurst Groves, Jamie Campaigne, David Chambers, Henry Whitesell.

When the 1956 Panther staff first got together to talk over plans for the annual, Torry Rogers, the editor, began by saying that he intended the make this year's book entirely new and different. Perhaps he has realized his goal, but whether he has or not, a lot of hard work has gone into the attempt. Even before a working dummy of the '56 annual had been laid out, pictures of fall activities were being taken. In November all ideas had been mulled over and the staff was able to decide on the content of the finished book. Feature writers went to work and the staff earn- estly took up the task of paying the bill. All the activities connected with producing the annual came to a head iust before spring vacation, with copy being given the final OK and the myriad of pictures being cropped, scaled, and dispatched to the engraver. The staff spent many more hours picking up loose ends before they could sit back and criticize their effort at recording Park in 1956. 47 SCRUB TEAM VARSITY CLUB The Varsity Club this year carried through many worthwhile projects. Much appreciated by the student body was the club's purchase ofa new soft-drink machine, which made available a variety of refreshment. Last fall the group supplied the film for photographing the varsity footballers in action. For its spring project the club under- took the task of purchasing new basketball warmups for the varsity. Funds were augmented by members' selling cokes at all varsity games and maintaining a booth at the Park-Tudor Carnival. The Varsity Club officers, elected early last fall, were Torry Rogers, president, John Stiles, vice-president, and Steve Ransburg, secretary-treasurer. With the assistance of the faculty adviser, Mr. Baker, they have led the organization through another year of service to the school.

PROMPTERS CLUB A After a week of bedlam in the form of evening rehear- sals punctuated by directorial walkouts, weird knockings at the clerestory windows in the gym, and the mysterious disappearance of a '51 Austin, Prompters undertook its second theater-in-the-round venture March 22-the eve of spring vacation. Audience response to the play, Mary Chase's Bernardine, was altogether heartening-like last year's response to Brother Rate. Tom Dalglish and Don Hines, the able principals, were staunchly supported by a large cast that included some of the iuniors' notable hoods and five maids and matrons from the freshman, sophomore, and senior classes. Dan Eicher miraculously survived the crisis, despite the neces- sity of filling two roles Qwith nothing in commonl and of rounding up all the properties and furniture on the night of dress rehearsal. An extraordinarily hard-working staff helped prepare the show for the boards. As Mr. Garrett pointed out ex post facto, You'll remember that play-and you'll remem- ber that it takes 510,000 worth of electrical equipment and a Link to make a telephone ring on stage. 1 PROMPTERS, PROMPTERS EVERYWHERE AND NOT A SOUL TO ACT Kneeling, left to right: Jim Morrison, Steve Spencer, John Carpenter, Doug Hill, Jamie Campaigne, David Chambers, Bob Nelson, Bill Wishard, Jerry Hazlewood, Hurst Groves, Baxter Rogers.

The Park School Glee Club began work last fall with Mr. Joseph Leamon as its director. Mr. Leamon, assisted by Mr. Watkins, the club's piano accompanist, prepared the group for its first performance, at the kick-off din- ner for the Park School Development Program. Mr. Leamon having resigned at the end of the first semester to devote his time to his television program, the school was fortunate enough to secure the services of Mr. Valdemars Melkis. Mr. Melkis, a native of Latvia, is an accomplished musician who is the pianist with the Latvian Trio. His enthusiasm and musicianship were greatly appreciated by the Glee Club, and in the Lower School the boys worked hard under his direction to form an instrumental ensemble. ln the spring the Glee Club fulfilled another engage- ment-this one at the annual pre-Garden Tour meeting of the Mothers' Association. The club's last performance of the year was at commencement, on June 7. So ended a year of reorganization for a group that has many new members, as well as a new director. 50 GLEE CLUB l HIGH C OR BUST! PARK PEN This year The Park Pen returned to take its place among school publications. The 1956 Pen remained true to the orig- inal concept- a literary magazine writ- ten and published by the boys of Park School. Part of this year's publication was given over to verse, which fact attests to the versatility of Park students. Editor Bill McPherson and his associate, Don Hines, together with Mr. Foxlow, faculty adviser, collaborated with the contributors to make the little magazine a truly representative Park product. 'QUIZ XEM TEAM The Quiz 'Em team became active-and successful -again this year through the cooperation of Mr. Gar- rett and the faculty, who rearranged the mid-semester exam schedule to accommodate the Quiz 'Em on the Air radio program, and through the hard work of QUIZMASTERS DEADLINE DASH team members who compiled long and astonishingly accurate lists of questions likely to be asked on the show. ln the first round their labor paid dividends in the form of an excellent new world atlas for use in the study hall.

Mr. Watkins and Mr. Harrity served most capably as coaches and faculty advisers to the team, composed of John Stiles, David Rose, Jamie Campaigne, Bob Nel- son, David Hargitt, and Hurst Groves, four of whom gave up parts in the spring play to partici- pate in the program. 'WE DIDN'T FIGURE FOR WINDAGE TEN RING CLUB Organized early in 1955, the Ten Ring Club, Park's rifle team, has completed another active year under the leadership of Tom Kirby, president, Terry Lynch, vice- president, and Jamie Campaigne, secretary-treasurer and range officer. Mr. Taggart is faculty adviser. ln addition to practice shoots in the gym every three weeks, at which members consistently turned in high scores, the club this year held an unofficial practice match with the YMCA Rifle Team, a hunting trip, several trap- shooting sessions, and a second highly successful record hop. The group expects to become, in the near future, an affiliate of the National Rifle Association.

Headed this year by Mr. John Holzman, it has continued to aid boys in improving and developing their characters and per- sonalities. This year's course was divided into three units-Magnanimity, which dealt with settling arguments without blows, Aptitude, which was concerned with finding occupational potentialities of the boys, and Vicarious Sacrifice. The adult instruction sessions were very well attended.

C. D. S. After nearly a month of pre-school practice the spirited Panther football team capped its first victory against Detroit on September l7, 25-19. Sparked by touchdowns by Foltz, Fortune, and Pritchett plus a 75-yard kickoff run for a touchdown by Pritchett the squad held Detroit to one touchdown. The second string played the entire fourth quarter holding Detroit to two touchdowns. 0. M. l. On September 24 the Park squad thumped a thor- oughly outclassed O. M. l. team 39-O. Touchdowns scored the first and third quarters by Foltz, Rogers and Pritchett kept the Parksters well ahead. ln the second and fourth quarters the second string held O. M. I. scoreless and executed a beautiful 70-yard touchdown pass from Bob Burke to Jim Morrison. C. C. D. S. In their third game of the season Park defeated a good C. C. D. S. team 26-7. Playing onthe C. C. D. field the team scoring honors went to Wally Foltz, Fortune and Rogers. C. C. D. scored once against the second string, late in the fourth quarter after an 80-yard drive. FCOTBALL HAGERSTOWN On October 7 Park suffered its first defeat of the season against Hagerstown 27-12. Weakened by sick- ness, loss of Tom Kirby, key tackle, and loss of prac- tice because of rain the teams did very well in the first half, leading 12-6. In the second half, however, Hag- erstown scored three time to defeat the Panthers. L. C. D. S. In the last Tri-State Conference game of the sea- son Park held Louisville to a 6-6 tie and a co-ownership of the new conference trophy. Quarterback Torry Rogers scored the Park touchdown in the first half and Park led until the fourth quarter when Louisville scored on a pass play. The Park line held firm despite a smashing try for extra point and ended the game with a 6-6 tie. M. V. C. D. S. Despite humiliating homecoming antics at Maumee, the Panther eleven came through with a hard-fought 14-6 victory. Touchdowns by Duane Pritchett and David Rose, plus a very strong line, assured a victory. CHARLTON In the final game of the season, the Panthers copped a 41-0 victory over Plainfield Charlton. Touchdowns by Pritchett, Foltz, T. and B. Rogers led the way to Park's fifth and final victory of the season. VARSITY BASKETBALL After two years of building and hard work, the Park varsity basketball team finally enioyed a win- ning season, finishing with an eight won, seven lost record. In the Tri-State Conference, consisting of Park, Cincinnati Country Day School, Louisville Country Day School, and Ohio Military Institute, the Panthers tied for second place with Cincinnati, winning three and losing three. The varsity, coached by Mr. Lewis Berkeley, was bol- stered by four returning Iettermen-Dave Fauvre, Wal- ter Foltz, Jock Fortune, and Duane Pritchett. Tom Esterline, Fred Heslar, Steve Ransburg, and Corky Weldon moved up to the varsity from the reserve team, while Torry Rogers and Dave Rose played second- string varsity last year. Jim Morrison, who played reserve most of the season, moved up to the varsity for the last four games. In the first two games of the season, Park got off to a good start, iourneying to Cincinnati to defeat C. C. D. S. and O. M. I. The next week-end the Panthers suffered their first defeat, losing to Deaf School 62 to 52. TOP BRASS: COACH, REICHEL AWARD WINNER, CAPTAIN PARK opp. 62 .... .... c .c. D. s. .... 52 6I .... .... o .

Park then won two straight, over Whitestown and Charlton, before dropping a game to Wood. The next day the Panthers made the long trek to St. Louis, where they were defeated by The Principia. The varsity then lost to L. C. D. S., Cwho went on to win the Conferencei, walloped O. M. l., lost to C. C. D. S. and then fell again to Louisville. ln the Maumee Val- ley Invitational Tournament, the Panthers repeated their T955 showing, finishing in the runnerup position. Park defeated Maumee in the opener, and then lost to Columbus Academy in the final game, 55 to 48. Including the two Tournament games, the Panthers compiled a record of nine wins, eight losses for the 1955-56 basketball season.

Don Eicher with 'I5 wins and Dave Martenet with I3 led the squad through a successful season. Dave Hargitt, Bob Nelson, Jim Lamb, Steve Spencer, Jerry Hazlewood, and Goethe Link composed the nucleus of the team. Under the able coaching of Mr. Holzman and the leadership of Captain Dan Eicher the team was able to hold its own against better than average teams throughout the city and state. The squad worked out vigorously during the winter months holding at least five two-hour conditioning periods a week. These ses- sions of lap running and calisthenics were augmented by training in the fundamental holds, escapes and pins. Many matches gave the team a chance to put their hard hours of practice to a test and learn by the actions of different opponents. Other men out for the team faithfully submitted themselves to the rigors of acting as sparring partners to give the varsity team practice. Those men were Charlie Adkins, Bob Woodring, Carter Fortune and Mike McCarthy. Due to the rules of the I. H. S. A. A. many of these boys were ineligible this year lout will bolster next season's mat team. Kneeling, left to right: Steve Spencer, .lim Lamb, .lerry Huzlewood, Goethe Link, Mike McCarthy.

The seventeen-man squad learned their plays from Mr. Baker and got in shape through Mr. Berkeley's wind sprints. This combination not only molded g a team this year, but built for future var- sity teams by teaching the fundamentals of the sport to well-coordinated bodies. The team met defeat but once, that being in their opener with Cincinnati Country Day, while it came out victorious in five other tilts. Led by the ground gaining of Emerson Davis and such hole- openers as Carter Fortune and John Augustus the squad trounced Orchard twice, got by Tabernacle twice, and upset Pike. First row, left to right: Mike Perine, Evan Noyes, Steve Valinet and Spike Selig. Seated Mike Chapman, Mark Beesley, Carter Fortune, Tom Sams, Bert McClure, Greg Zolezzi and John Augustus. Standing: Coach Baker, Bud Garrison, Terry Cline, Emerson Davis, John Triller, John landgraf, Charles Dawson, Creighton Palmer and Coach Berkeley. LOWER SCHOOL FOOTBALL Sitting, left to right: Ted Lilly, John Storer, Steve Feinstone, Tim Sams, Pete Lieber, Kent Berglund, Bob Tappan. Kneeling: Jim Hardy, Steve Gregory, Don Davis, Steve Cline, David Williams, John Matthews. Standing: Charlie Esterline, Gary Huber, John Johnson, Bill Wat- kins, Steve Cuthbert, Coach Baker. Although the fifth and sixth grade gridmen lacked size, they came up with a winning season. Playing three games, they won two and lost one. ln their first encounter with Orchard School, they won easily by a score of T8-6. Pacing the young Panthers was Davie Williams, who scored two touchdowns. ln the next game the fifth and sixth grade team ran up against a tough Northside All-Star team that beat the Panthers by two touchdowns. In their final game with Orchard, Park again came through with a win, the score being 27 to 12. MIDDLE SCHOOL BASKETBALL The seventh and eighth grades, working with Coach Berkeley, again supported an excellent team, which compiled a T3-3 record. After a loss to Crooked Creek in its first game, the team started to roll, thanks in large part to John Augustus' rebounding and Emerson Davis' speed. Augustus, Mike Chapman, Davis, Alex Rogers, and John Triller, with Ed Harris interchanging, formed the working nucleus. Mark Beesley, Alan Keller, Tom Sams, Bob Smith, Terry Cline, John Barney, and Greg Zolezzi worked as reserves and aided the team when the going got rough. Kneeling, left to right: John Triller, Emerson Davis, John Augustus, Mike Chapman, Alex Rogers and Ed Harris. Standing: John Barney, Mark Beesley, Terry Cline, Alan Keller, Tom Sams, Greg Zolezzi and Coach Berkeley. The Panthers won the Northside PeeWee League championship with a standing record of 8-T. They defeated Tabernacle in the semi-finals of the tourna- ment, but lost to a much improved Deaf School five, which they had defeated earlier in the season. LOWER SCHOOL BASKETBALL Sitting, left to right: Frank Teague, Steve Cline, Don Davis, Tim Sams, Kent Berglund, Ted Lilly, David Williams. Standing: Bill Watkins, Gary Huber: Steve Gaubatz, Jim Stone, Jim Hardy, Bob Tappan, Steve Feinstone, Coach Baker. I ' ' 1- E-417' S '-V ,Ts fi Although the fifth and sixth grade team always fought hard, it was able to win only three of its twelve games. Lack of size and experience hurt the team very much. The five starting players were Kent Berglund, Steve Cline, Don Davis, Ted Lilly, John Matthews, with Dave Williams interchanging frequently. Team efforts and hard work were not wasted, as the boys beat Midway twice and Gray Y once. Mr. Baker's coaching in fundamentals, coupled with expe- rience, should give Park a fine crop of players next year. Seated, left to right: Em Davis, John Triller, Mark Beesley, Bob Smith, Chip Burns, Steve Vali- net. Standing: Freeman Leas, Alex Rogers, John Barney, Mike Chapman, Tom Sams, Terry Cline, Harvey Sigmond. LOWER SCHOOL BASEBALL MIDDLE SCHOOL BASEBALL First call for baseball in the seventh- eighth grade division found all the bases loaded as twenty-two eager aihletes crowded the diamond. Their schedule called for eight games, in- cluding the traditional slugfest with Orchard School. The Park Middle School squad in- cluded John Barney, Mike Chapman, Terry Cline, Chuck Dawson, Buddy Garrison, Freeman Leas, Bill McFar- lane, John Miller, Alex Rogers, Harvey Sigmond and Greg Zolezzi. Other players were John Augustus, Tom Beasley, Mark Beesley, Wayne Burns, Em Davis, Bert McClure, Tom Sams, Bob Smith, John Triller, Steve Valinet and Jack Weddle. During the season some good play- ers developed who will strengthen the varsity when they reach the Upper School level. Front, left to right: Frank Teague, Charles Esterline, Gary Huber, John David, John John- son. Sitting: David Williams, Steve Cline, Bob Tappan, Ted Lilly, Don Davis, Tim Sams, Kent Berglund. Standing: Mr. Baker, Coach, John Storer, Pete Lieber, Bill Watkins, Steve Feinstone, Charles Maxwell, Mike Springer, Jim Hardy. Twenty-two boys responded to Coach Baker's call for fifth-sixth grade baseball this spring. They were Kent Berglund, Steve Cline, Steve Cuthbert, Donald Davis, Steve Feinstone, Teddie Lilly, Timmy Sams, Mike Springer, Jim Stone, John Storer, Bob Tappan, Frank Teague, Charles Max- well and David Williams, Charles Ester- line, Andrew Falender, James Hardy, Gary Huber, John Matthews, Steven Pickett, Richard Stover and Bill Watkins. A game with Orchard was the high- light of the team's six-game schedule. The eagerness and ability of the two classes promise some new stars for var- sity baseball a few years hence. In-all 1 MIDDLE SCHOOL TENNIS Along the net, left to right: Denny Myers, Bob Newby, John Miller, Howard Ropp, John Nelson, Brent Mecker, Charles Dawson, Bert McClure, Jeff Strohm, Hank Matthew, Bob Sherwood, Bob Schloss, Alan Keller, Jack Weddle, Tom Schloss, John Landgraf, Jay Williams, Phil Bredell, Bill Currie, Bill McFarlane. Rear: Mr. Taggart, Marian College and Mr. Holzman. When the first warm day brought the tennis nets out of winter storage, Tennis Coach Holzman, after look- ing over the promising netmen, lined up a keenly com- petitive schedule, including two matches with Attucks. Middle School boys out for tennis this season in- cluded four players who had proved their ability last LOWER SCHOOL TENNIS summer-Alan Keller, Ed Harris, Bob Schloss and Carter Fortune.

BILL GRIFFITH rqcknawledqmenl The 1956 Panther is a reality because of the help, guidance, and support given by virtually every member of the Park School family. To Mr. Garrett and the entire faculty, who at times turned the whole school schedule upside down so that adequate photographs might be taken and various functions of the staff might be accomplished, I extend my thanks. Special acknowledgment must be made to the faculty adviser, Mr. Foxlow, who devoted many hours to the task of helping to ready the Panther for publication. Copy and photographs comprise a yearbook, but there would be no book at all without engravings and type. I am much indebted to the Indianapolis Engraving Company, especially Mr. Noer and Mr. Benson, for supplying the plates for this annual. To Mr. Darnaby and the Hollenbeck Press I am deeply grateful for an excellent job in printing the Panther. l can but begin to thank the business firms and individuals who advertised in this book and by so doing gave much needed financial stability to the undertaking. Finally, I take off my hat to the members of the staff who played such a vital part in the production of this Panther. When that extra bit of copy had to be written or a group of pictures made ready for the engraver, they all pulled together to see that the iob was done and done well. -The Editor Congrafulafions anal Snceresf Beef fzflbshzs . .
