Q 5 5 EUREWU Our future has now begun, Again a door swings wide- A promise, yet a challenge, too, And we meet it with ioy and pride. Through this open door we see a path That winds as the years unfold, We shall iourney along-on our lips a song, We face all with our hearts so bold. We face these years ahead of us With memories so happy and gay- RD Our Teachers, our friends and our classmates all, Studies, parties, classes and play. We love the dear school days gone by, And loyal to them, we shall beg The lessons you've taught and the goodness you've brought Will brighten our future with glee. For the future we face-and face it we must, The path we shall walk with firm tread, Unfaltering steps, strengthened by faith Shall stand each of us in good stead. As our future begins, and we bid you farewell, Our hearts ring out boldly in song, Bidding us all to hasten forth Into a world we shall help to make strong. Forward we go in search of good- Out toward the golden rule, Toward hopes, toward courage, toward faith, As we say goodbye dear old school. and toward trust You will linger forever in thoughts of pure gold, May our loyalty, always be true, Your banner we'll hold, dear blue and white As we bow and say fondly adieu. DIEDHCATHGN ls there no bright reversion in the sky For those who greatly think, or bravely die? We, the members ot the Class ot 1953, do solemnly dedicate our Yearbook to DONALD CARROLL BROWNE, '51, who lost his life in the Korean conflict. It is with fervent hope that this supreme sacrifice may not have been in vain, but that a brighter day will dawn and that God's mercy and iustice will shine over a peaceful world. Richmond L.

MOORE Headmaster B,A. Williams Collegeg M.A. St. Lawrence University Class of 1953: ROM every side l hear comments that your generation has been brought into a world of woeg that your generation has to face greater problems than any other generation has yet metg that these problems somehow are unfairly forced upon you since they are not of your making. ,- But, every generation has had to face problems not of their making-problems iust as challenging as those you face today. Don't forget there have been other wars which other graduating classes have had to face in the past. Be glad there are problems to face. Reioice that your talents will be challenged to the limit. Life without problems would be pallid indeed! 9 WALTER T. AN DERSEN Commandanf Coploin, U. S. M. C. R. B.S.

To the Seniors T will always be true that as a man thinketh in his heart, so is he. ln our day and generation we are reaping the bitter fruit of the ever-growing materialism of the past seven or eight decades. The vast developmnts of physical science, cultivated apart from the emotional and spiritual nature of man, have had their inevitable end in the creation of fearful engines of destruction. Science has given us stones to crush us-not spiritual bread to feed our inner lives. We cannot too often remind ourselves that true meanings are not to be found in the material aspects of life. So many evil forces have been loosed in the world, so much pain and suffering and anguish smite the mind and heart, that one is some- times tempted to ask, Where is the good in life? The important thing is not to lose heart. lf we lose our wealth, said Goethe, we lose something, if we lose our repu- tation, we lose much, if we lose our courage, we lose everything. lt is the little things that irritate us, the great trials we meet with equanimity. Still, it is true, as the Professor at the Breakfast Table has told us, Life is a great bundle of little things. The important thing is to resolve not to live life in little ways, but, by visions high, lift yourselves above mortal sight and win life's true success. Richmond L.

The Junior Class TARTING from a small group in its Freshman year, the Class of i954 has grown to thirty-four members, many of them outstanding in school activities. Leading in aca- demics are Albert, Goldstein, Goldberg, Depew, and Reget, in athletics, Depew, Rosell, and Paradise, in the military, Reget, Yearwood, Goldberg, Rainger, and Parker. The Class has sponsored two very successful dances, the Sophomore Hop and the Junior Prom, the latter adjudged the best dance ever put on at P. M. A. Several of the members are very active in the field of iournalism, being rewarded to membership in QUILL AND SCROLL, Neale Albert for photography, Philip Rosell, book reviews, and Ernest Reget, sports reporting. The Class shows excellent promise in the years to come. 38 Rear row, left to right: N. Wells, Henriquez, K, Kibling, Hagedorn, Smith. Fourth row: Weiss, M Goldberg, Palaccios, C. Zaccaur, Reyes, .l.

Sophomore Class HE class of l955 elected the following cadets to govern and to lead the class activities for the school year l952- 53: President, Peter Savrides, Vice-President, Frank Cama, Secretary, Mark Muller, Treasurer, Stephen Phillips, Ser- geant-at-Arms, Vincent Cubero, and as adviser, Mr. Joseph F. Tavernelli. As is the usual custom, the social event of the year for the class, the Sophomore Prom, was held on December l9, l952. The decorations represented the Christmas season and the music was provided by Al Link and his orchestra. The dance proved to be one of the finest ever held by a sophomore class. Credit should be given to all the cadets of the class of l955 for doing such a commendable job. The Sophomore class now looks forward to next year with renewed vigor and anticipation, and they should prove to be a credit to Peekskill Military Academy in the coming years. 39 Rear row, left to right: McCarthy, Mr. Tarr iSponsorl.

Pan-American Club INCE its founding in i949 to provide a tropical atmosphere for south-of-the-border cadets, the Pan-American Club has been a great success. The Club is now located in the Tower room of the Main building. Here in a well- furnished, decorated room is an automatic record player and a large variety of Latin-American records. Last year the Club presented its first dance and followed it this year with another successful one. The present plan of the Club is to build a library of Spanish books. This year's advisor is Mr. Frank Bianco. OFFICERS President ............... ..,..,.., O sian Abreu Vice-President ........ ,,,,.,,....,,, V ictor Esper 5eCretGry ........ ..........

' The Ford Library HE Ford library, located in the lobby of the Ford Building for the convenience of all, gave needed sources of information to the Corps. Besides providing an ex- cellent opportunity for one to put his leisure time to good use, it was here that all research work was done for the various courses which required such work. The library is a subscriber to three daily newspapers and to many of the popular monthly magazines. On the library's shelves are numerous books covering every phase of literature and history. All cadets are encouraged to make the fullest pos- sible use of all the resources at hand. In addition to the magazines and newspapers which are kept in the library itself, there is a storage room where dated ones are retained for use in reference work. The library, open every day and evening, is under the supervision of Mr. George Tarr, librarian, and five cadet assistants-a well-knit organization run for the benefit of everyone. 47 Standing, left to right: Tchira, Marko, Schwarz, Croft, Pavese, Master, E.

Club meet- ings are held in the physics lab. where the club's capable adviser, Mr. Merton Laverty, shows the members some fine tricks in modern photography. During club meetings members develop film, print pictures, and get valuable advice and con- structive criticisms on the proper technique of taking pictures. Now in its eighth year ot existence, the club is increasing in numbers. Membership has recently been granted to Junior School cadets who show an aptitude in this type of work. Club members are getting not only excellent assistance, but much enioyment from their interesting hobby. 49 E 92 ii S6 2 Q 50 F 5-4. X 'S- Y! ATHLETICS WH ?

Victor Gabriel INCE membership to the Varsity Club is restricted to those cadets who have attained at least one varsity letter, the club is one which all cadets strivevto become members of. The Varsity Club is a place ot relaxation. Here members can enioy a game of pool or ping pong, listen to the radio or victrola, smoke, or simply chat with friends. Again the Club sponsored the annual Varsity Club Hal- lowe'en dance. The Club will continue as an organization founded and run by the cadets for the pleasure of the members them- selves. 53 Flootlmalil 1952 HIS year's team, led by Captain Eddie Marko, began early football practice under the guid- ance of three new coaches: Joseph Tavernelli lHead Coachl Mr. Greene, and Mr. Burke. Although the team appeared to be willing in spirit, and at no time was it ever a disgrace to its Alma Mater, this year's eleven was a very inexperienced team as was evident as the sea- son rolled along. Even though the scores of the games may not show too much on the right side of the ledger, the team steadily improved. P. M. A. met its first setback against Briar- cliff, 28-O. After a poor first half, the Cadets played a good and spirited second half. The following week the team worked hard and diligently to correct their mistakes. And although they were defeated, 20-O, it was an improved P. M. A. that took the field. One of the best teams that P. M. A. played was Concordia Prep. The T-formation of the opponents baffled our boys in the first half, and when the game ended the score was 31-0 in their favor. lt was during this game that Benito Henriquez, one of our best backs, broke his collar bone. The experience gained in playing three good opponents and another week of hard practice finally paid dividends when P. M. A. travelled to Carmel and won their first game, 19-O. John Rainger, the Junior quarterback, passed bril- liantly to Paul Wood for two scores and to Phil Svendsen for the other. Dave Depew, another Junior back, was brilliant in his consistent ground gaining. Having tasted victory, the team looked for- ward to the Fathers' Day game against Storm King. The team made many mistakes in the first half, which gave Storm King three of their first four touchdowns, and therefore, was losing 28-7 at the half. ln the second half, one quick score by PMA brought us within range of the oppo- nent. But again the mistakes were costly, and PMA went down to defeat, 41-13. Another team that must be ranked among the best in this section was the next opponent of NMA. Although the Cadets played a good game, the Hackley School was too strong and it was a 28-O victory. 11 Rear row, left to right: Mr. Burke, Mr. Greene lAssistant Coachesl, M.

The last game of the season against Haldane was perhaps the finest game on the whole that the team played this season. Haldane had scored a safety and a touchdown in the first half and was leading 8-O when our boys took matters into their own hands. Ralnger made a :iff ... .- sparkling 60-yard punt return for a touchdown and the score was 8-6. PMA did everything but score another touchdown in the last half Al though it was a great disappointment to the team to lose by such a close score it certainly was no disgrace. The lineup: L.

H., Chahalis, Phillips Wood Varsity GREEN team, let-downs in the second halves, and iust plain bad luck downed the Cadet booters this year. Time after time P. M. A. came out on the short end of the score by only one goal, as the schedule testifies, and a few games were lost in the last quarter or, as in the Stevens Tech game, in overtime. However, most of the men on the team gave fine accounts of themselves. Captain Bernie Loeffke did an excellent iob at his right wing position, Fred Rankin at right inside, Este Balleste at center forward, Bill Bartels at left inside, and Henry Reyes at left wing-all did their best for the good of the team. Backing up the front line Jay Parker, Bruce Sutton, and Ernie Reget, our halfbacks, helped the offense by feeding the forwards well, and helped the defense by blocking many of our opponents' attempts to score. ln the fullback positions, Arnold Tchira and Juan Zaccour broke up many of our opponents' scoring chances. Carlos Zaccour was the shooting goalie, Al Smith gave Carlos a rest now and then. A team needs good substitutes and we had some very able ones in Bart Friedberg, Winston Kulok, Gene Reget, Victor Esper, Domingo Pa- lacios, Osian Abreu, and Jim Selbie. High scorer in goals for the team this year was Bruce Sutton, our center half back. Soccer The opening game of the season saw a green team fight hard through the entire game. Their efforts were rewarded as Lady Luck smiled on the Cadets. ln the last ten seconds Bruce Sutton was fouled in the penalty area and was awarded a penalty shot which he proceeded to make, and the game ended in a one to one dedlock. Bad luck dogged P. M. A. in the Norwalk game, which was played away. The only Cadet goal was pushed through the nets by Henry Reyes. ln the third game of the season a superior N. Y. M. A. team had to fight hard to overcome finally a determined Cadet eleven. The Cadet booters played a fine brand of soccer but were licked one to nothing. The team really fought and played good soc- cer in the Stevens Tech game, but the college boys had an excellent defense. Both teams were held scoreless throughout the regulation period of time. Both coaches agreed to play overtime, and Stevens finally managed to eke out a vic- tory by a slim one to nothing score. The Hackley team was losing until the last half, when the visiting Cadet team stopped controlling the ball and tried to play a defen- sive game. This strategy did not succeed, as Hackley scored twice in rapid succession to sew up the ball game. ln the second Stamford game, the Blue and White booters played one of their best games of the season, but were edged out by a vastly improved team. The score was again a one goal defeat, two to one. For the second meeting between Norwalk and P. M. A., the Cadets played top notch soccer throughout the game, and it turned out to be their best by far. With victory on their minds, the Cadet booters completely outplayed their rivals and went on to a well-earned two to one victory. This proved to be the only Cadet victory of the campaign. The second meeting between the Blue and White booters and Hopkins Grammar was the scene of the hardest fought and one of the best games which the Cadet team played all season long. lt ended in a three to three tie, which was a moral victory. For P. M. A., Jay Parker, moved up from his usual right halfback position, did an excellent iob on the front line as he scored two goals. A bigger, faster, and older Plebe team com- pletely snowed the Cadets under by a six to one score at West Point in one of the final games of the season. , In the finale of the season, P. M. A. met N. Y. M. A. in a very hotly contested battle in which both teams had the lead at one time or another. Bruce Sutton scored two goals, but they weren't quite enough as P. M. A. went down to a three to two defeat. ln recapping the season, it might be said that the Cadet booters had most of the game-decid- ing breaks go against them, with a few reversals of chance, the record might have been a vastly improved one.

Varsity Basketball ECAUSE of the departure of many outstand- ing seniors from last year's quintet, Mr. David Burke, the new coach, embarked on coach- ing the basketball team with a decided dis- advantage. Returning from last year's depleted squad were Captain-elect Phil Svendsen, Dolphe Smy- lie, an outstanding scorer and playmaker, Sherm Master, our leading defensive player, and Bart Friedberg, who, because of an iniury, was un- able to play last year, but who added a much- needed scoring punch this season. Several players were recruited from last year's JV team: Bob Kiever, our rebounder and second high scorer, Tom Chahalis, and John Pavese, good playmakers and smooth ball handlers. Jim Selbie also added considerable talent to the squad. Al Smith, a newcomer to the Academy, lived up to expectations as a scorer and re- bounder, and, since Smitty is only a Sopho- more, great things are expected of him next year. Dave Pope, another newcomer, proved himself to be a fine back court man. Vince Cubero, who ioined the Varsity squad after playing a good part of the season with the JV, considerably bolstered the Cadet cause. Frank Cama, iniured early in the season, played occa- sionally for the squad. The team, although rela- tively weak in height, made up for it partially in speed and hustle, but still the dominance of the backboards on the court soon proved to be too much for the Cadets. The opening game of the season was held on the Cadet court against a tall Briarcliff High quintet. The Cadets were handed a stunning 62-41 defeat, which did not help to get the sea- son OFF too well. Friedberg led the scoring attack for the losers, closely followed by Svendsen. The Cadets next met Katonah High and again were overpowered by superior height. This time the score was 55-40, with Smylie and Friedberg doing most of the scoring. Next the P. M. A. quintet traveled to Hendrick Hudson High School, where they again met another high-scoring foe who pounded the Academy cagers for one of the worst defeats of the season, 64-33. Kiever was high scorer for the losers. Following this loss, the Cadets took on their arch-enemy, Hackley, and, again plagued by height difficulties, were romped 64-46. Smylie hit the twine for l5 points to lead the Cadets' attack. Storm King, another small squad, faced the Cadets on their home court and managed to eke out a victory over the determined P. M. A. team, 53-51. Svendsen and Kiever each hit for l8 points -to keep the Cadet hopes alive. Another tall quintet, Concordia Prep, was next on the long list for the Cadets. The Prep school squad romped all over P. M. A., 5l-23, in what was a very poorly played game by the Cadets. Katonah, a team which had previously beaten the Cadets without too much troubled, turned the trick again, 73-40. At St. Peter's the loss-ridden Cadets fell again into the clutches of defeat in a hard- fought game, 59-53. Smylie went on a scoring spree and turned in the individual high for the campaign with 22 points. The team, although doomed to failure as it seemed, never gave up trying for a victory. Their chance finally came in the game with Storm King, who previously beat the Cadets by 2 points. The home club played their heart out and finally had the first win of the season, 60-55. With a last ray of hope for a fair season in the wind, the Cadets iourneyed to Hopkins Grammar and encountered one of the best teams in Connecticut. The home club's height and all- around ability showed themselves throughout a contest which they took from the Cadet cagers without any difficulty, 65-34. Hackley and St. Peter's again thoroughly van- quished the Cadets 65-34 and 43-28, respec- l tively. Smith, Kiever, and Master turned in fine performances in both games. Haldane iourned to the P. M. A. court and met defeat, 54-47. Chahalis, Pavese, and Svend- sen played fine ball in this game. The final game of the season was definitely one of the most exciting and best played games by the Cadets. Trailing by l5 points at the middle of the third quarter, the Cadets caught up and almost beat the HenHuds. The final score was 54-50 in favor of the Hendrick Hudson quin- tet. Friedberg helped to put the Cadets back in the game with a great fourth quarter in which he scored l4 points to cop scoring honors. The Cadets hit the tournament trail after the regular season and were severely trounced by Hopkins Grammar, 7l-39, in the first round of the Westchester County Private and Parochial School Tournament. Master excelled in this game. Although the win and loss record of the sea- son was dim, it is fairly safe to say that the Cadet Corps may be optimistic for the coming two seasons. Two members of this year's start- ing team will be returning: Al Smith and Vin Cubero, together with an excellent JV group. With this in mind, it is hopeful that the Academy will improve on the court, although such men as the spirited John Pavese and the ever-depend- able Sherm Master will be sorely missed. MUN?-f we -:asm Swimming INE days after practice was begun the team iourneyed to Columbia University where it defeated the freshmen in an exciting meet, 4l- 34, by virtue of key first places by Vurgason, Marko, Rosell, and the medley relay team of Marko, Vurgason, and Loeffke. After the Christmas recess, the mermen de- feated a weak but game Trinity-Pawling squad, 36-30, in a meet in which Coach Wells used every member of the squad. Firsts in this meet were taken by Vurgason, Loeffke, Conlin, Marko, and Depew. Three days later the Cadets met and defeated a very strong group of natators from Nyack by a score of 42-33 in the first home meet of the season. The highlight of this meet was Vurga- son's record-shattering effort in the lOO-yard breast strike, lowering his own standard to i:O8.4. The following Saturday the team iourneyed to Hackley, where they trounced the prepsters 44-22 as Loeffke, Vurgason, Depew, and Conlin again took first places. Three days later a keyed-up Cadet squad met Greenwich High School in the meet the boys wanted most to win. Victory was ours, 42-33. Hopkins Grammar team was met and defeated 4i-34. The following weekend was one which was both happy and sad as the mermen journeyed to Colgate University to compete in the New York State Preparatory School Championships. lt was a happy weekend for P. M. A.'s nine competing Cadets managed to finish a strong second to the legions of Albany Academy, who vastly out- numbered our small band of natators. Firsts were taken by Loeffke, Vurgason, and Depew in the 200 freestyle, lOO breaststroke and l50 indi- vidual medley, respectively. Seconds were taken by Conlin in the lOO back, Depew again in the lOO breast, Balleste in the 100 free, and Rosell in the fancy diving. Paradise and Kibling scored third and fourth places in the 50 free and diving, respectively. Conlin, Vurgason, and Loeffke teamed up in the 150 yard medley relay which they won, setting a new state record for the event with a glittering l:25.4, making them All- American candidates.

In the space of ten days, the busy Cadets met and defeated New Rochelle 41-25, Horace Mann 49-26, lona Prep 40-26, and sank Ma- maroneck 36-30 in a thriller. In the Horace Mann meet three standards were lowered: Vurgason bettered his old mark of 1:08.4 in the 100 breast with a fine 1:07.95 Loeffke flew over the 5-lap 100 yard freestyle course in 55.6 seconds to break George Criss' old pool record of 56.4, Vurgason, Loeffke, and backstroker Conlin teamed up in the medley relay and swam the 180 yards in an excellent 1:45.6 for a new Cadet record. ln the Iona Prep contest the name of Criss again fell from the record board as Loeffke sped 220 yards in 2:25.1 seconds, break- ing the old mark by .1 of a second. The next meet was against Stepinac and the mermen triumphed 49-26. First they ventured to Horace Mann, where they won the Westchester County Private and Parochial School tournament for the second year in a row. Then off to Providence, R. l., where the Cadets tallied 19 points to finish fifth out of thirteen teams of the nation's best high and prep school swimmers, in the Brown University Inter- scholastics. The Cadets triumphed 42-33 vs. Peekskill High School. Firsts were taken by Paradise, Vugason, Conlin, Rosell, the medley relay team, and two by Loeffke. Great credit goes to Coach Wells, for without his expert guidance the team would have been lost. We pay tribute to two great swimmers, Loeffke and Vurgason, we salute Marko, whose cheerful voice inspired us. To divers Phil Rosell and Charley Kibling, we give special praise along with their diving tutor, Mr. Gabriel. Rosell, in particular, brought many points with his fine execution of difficult dives over the season. Praise also goes to Depew and Conlin. To those men who scored the seconds and thirds, adding to our points, we shall not forget: Green, Muller, Reget, Blum, Kibling, Rankin, Reyes, Galban, Aranoff.

Rifle Team HE Cadet rifiemen closed a successful season by placing second out-of-state in the Con- necticut State Championships and third in the overall tournament. Compiling a record of nine victories out of eleven starts, the Cadets copped the Westchester County Championship and were mythical champions of the Hudson Valley by whipping all the opposition around this region. Their two losses were at the hands of St. Francis Xavier of New York City, who were tops in the First Army Area this year, and currently ranked fourth in the nation on the i953 N. R. A. Tour- nament. Xavier squeaked by the first match, winning by only three points, but showed their stuff in the return match, winning 934 to 9l9. The Cadets also finished second to Xavier in the Connecticut State Championships. On the other side of the ledger, however, the Cadets racked up such formidable opponents as the West Point Plebes, whom they competed against for the first time by scoring a T376, Manlius, with a score of 938, Far Rockaway, which is usually among the best high schools in the area, with a 922, and New Bedford High School of Massachusetts with a 930. Since the high school competition was rather weak this season, two of the return matches were fired by the J. V. riflemen, who won han- dily over Scarsdale High School, 863-823, and Trinity-Pawling School, 856-744. Outstanding among the Cadet rifiemen was Co-Captain Gil Hauff, competing for his fourth consecutive year on the varsity team, who was presented at the Winter Sports Banquet with a gold loving cup for most valuable rifleman by posting the season's highest official average of l87.6. During the first Trinity-Pawling match, he broke the Cadet two-position lprone-off-handl record of l92 formerly held by Andreotti l'5Ol, and tied by Hauff last year, when he posted a 96-97-T93. ln addition, the off-hand score of 97 is the highest ever fired on the Academy range. Standing, left to right: Rust, Krohn, Milgrom, Mr. Holland lCoachi, Karchmar, Bartels, Saunders, Ortiz, N. Wells. Kneeling: Midkitf, Bates, G. Reget lCo-Captaini, Yearwood, Wilhelm. The record score was tied three days later by Ed Yearwood, outstanding iunior on the squad, in the A. B. Davis match when he posted a lOO-93-l93. Among HauFf's other distinctions was his score of 99-92-l9l in the Connecticut State Cham- pionship which earned a tie tor high individual honors in the tournament. Finishing second to Hauff on the year's standings was Co-Captain Gene Reget, who was only a fraction of a point behind with a l87.2 average. Next year's squad, though receiving a blow by losing their number one and two men through graduation, should still have one ot the best teams in the region, since they will have the next six men on the ladder led by the very capable and distinguished rifleman, Ed Yearwood, who finished third on the ladder with a l86.6. Ed will head a formidable group of Juniors, in- cluding Tom Bates and Paul Wilhelm, and will be substantially supported by a strong squad of Sophomores led by Norman Wells, number Q -.Tl auuseyil X N 'E G f MW x lg F? fSfw . 1 iNf3E?g FH :lt f'i five man this year, and including Tex MidkiFf and Bob Karchmar. All of these had high 170 averages for the season and were fifth, sixth, and seventh, respectively, on the ladder.

Under the tutelage of Mike Greene, their coach, the inexperienced Cadets acquired enough know-how to defeat a traditionally strong Hackley team in their first meet. The following two meets were lost to Horace Mann and New Rochelle High School. ln the last meet of the season at Hackley, the mat-men held to a tie the more experienced Hackley team which had wrestled seven meets at that time. The outstanding wrestler of the season was Enrique Burrell, who pinned every adversary and established a record time of fifteen seconds for the fastest pin. Ralph Perello and Lynn Wise were also outstanding in that they went undefeated in all four meets. The team record was as follows: PMA Opp. PMA Opp. 25 Hackley 23 l7 New Rochelle H.

Varsity Baseball ETURNING from last year's squad are all but three lettermen. Alternating players are Cama, first base, Phillips and Savrides, second base, Muller, third base, Kiever cmd Rainger, catchers, Conlin, Bedder and Balleste, pitchers, Chahalis, shortstop, cmd Henriquez, Pope, cmd Penders, outfielders. Other players are Gascon, Gambella, H. Goldberg, Rothstein, Cubero, Esper, and Smith. The first game of the season was against Briarcliff High School. Going into the bottom half of the fifth inning the score was tied at two all. Starter Bill Conlin was showing a lot of his old form and had allowed only one hit up till the fifth inning when the roof caved in. Two walks, two scratch hits, two costly errors, and a wild pitch told the story as four runs crossed the plate. Being unable to do anything in our last time at bat, we lost the game, 6-2. Pope, Cama, and Chahalis played outstanding ball for the Cadet cause. Our next game was a 6-6 tie with St. Peter's. The game was called at the end of eight innings because of darkness. Art Bedder threw a fine game in his first start. Poor support due to the condition of the field cost him the game. Next we lost a squeaker to Katonah, 6-5. Este Batlesie started and was wrapped for five runs in the first 2-lf3 innings. Conlin was the losing hurler in spite of a fine relief stint. The next two ball games were truly heart- breakers. ln the Children's Village game the score was tied at one all going into extra in- nings, but the visitors soon won the fray with two tallies in the eighth, 3-l. Bedder pitched a won- derful ball game, however, Bill Conlin, who came on in the seventh, absorbed the loss, his third of the young season. Against Storm King, a simi- lar situation presented itself. The Cadets were breezing along with a 3-l lead going into the last inning. This time the visitors put three runs across the plate to win, 4-3. Bedder again had a fine performance marred by a quirk of fate and an untimely infield error. Although their record may not show it, the P. M. A. nine cannot help but have a fine season. Coach Joseph Tavernelli is molding a group of youngsters into a team which is po- tentially the best in P. M. A. history. This year was the year needed to gain experience. The little mistakes made this year will be used con- structively next year to field a great team. Standing, left to right: Loeltke, Bartels, Macherowski, C. Kipling, Bates tMgr.j. Kneeling. Friedberg, Mr. Reicker lCoacht, Hassey. LTHOUGH the loss of key singles and doubles players from last year's fine squad had depleted the number of returning men, this year's edition of the P. M. A. netmen promises to be a fine representative of the school. There are two returning lettermen and, in addition, a few valuable players recruited from last year's Junior Varsity squad. Also of no little importance lo the team is the belated arrival of a newcomer who is a racket-wielder of extreme ability. In first singles position is Bart Fricdberg, who is spending his third year on the team. After making a fine showing in singles play last year, great things are expected from Bart in this cam- paign. The other returning letterman is Al Hassey, who is holding down the second singles berth. Although primarily a doubles player on last year's squad, his game has become sufficiently im- proved to the point where he should be a valu- able asset to the team. The newcomer third sin- gles man is Paul Standel. Paul is a Freshman, and we think will develop into a truly time tennis player. Fourth man this year is a recruit from last year's JV, Bernie Loettke. Bernie usu- ally plays doubles and is doing a fine iob to forward the team's winning efforts. Rounding out the team are Bill Bartels, Charlie Kibling, Josh Macherowski, and Howie Trilling-all new to the sport. Thus far there have been tour matches played wi.h the Cadets obtaining a split. They have beaten Hendrick Hudson, 5-O, and Briarcliff, 3-2, but succumbed to Peekskill High, l-4, and Scarborough, l-3. Although a tough schedule is in sight, the Cadets are seeking to improve their record over the remaining part of the season. Tennis Varsity Lacrosse HIS year's lacrosse team had only six letter- men returning from last year's team. Jay Parker at his old position of attack, Ed Year- wood filling his familiar spot in the cage, and Dave Depew switching from midfield to defense, were all the remains of last year's starters. The other letter winners: Ernie Reget at attack, John Pavese at the center, and Ronnie Ballard in the midfield, are expected to do much to further the chances of the team for a good season. With these men are Bob Paradise and Sherman Master out for lacrosse for the first time-two very hopeful prospects for the defense. When the team could play on the field, Coach Gabriel worked in as many scrimmages as pos- s'ble, but because of bad weather the scrim- mages were woefully few by the time of the first game. The outlook was rather dim for such a green team, but the Cadets made a surprisingly good showing and downed Stevens Institute of Tech- nology JV's, 6-2. Gene and Ernie Reget scored one goal each, while Ronnie Ballard and Paul Wilhelm each fired in two. The team did not do as well when they played Manhasset, but after a very close game came out on the losing end, 7-5. Ronnie Ballard really went to work and scored three of the five Peeks- kill goals, while Jay Parker and Paul Wilhelm each made one, boosting the total to five. P. M. A. was still not playing top notch ball when it met N. Y. M. A., but the Cadets still defeated their ancient rivals, 4-3. Ronnie Ballard as usual scored, but the big gun for the Cadets was Jay Parker, who pushed in three of the four goals. The powerful Garden City team downed the Cadets in their fourth game of the season, ll-3. Ed Yearwood, although playing his usual excel- lent game, was iniured and taken out. The attack could not start clicking until the third quarter when the Peekskill team scored three in a row. However, the Cadets' attack was hampered tremendously when Jay Parker left to play goalie. Jay Parker, Ernie Reget and Ron- nie Ballard each scored a goal for Peekskill. lf the team starts playing the best ball it is capable of, not many teams will be able to beat them. All we can do is wish you luck. A team with your spirit makes its own good breaks. Third row, left to right: Mr. Wells lAsst.

HENNEBERRY B.A., M.A., Columbia University Head of Junior School, Reading, Science The Junior School ONTINUITY of the venerable traditions, of Peekskill Military Junior School was maintained this year even with a change of Administration. With this single excep- tion the Junior School Faculty remained intact. The se- curity thus realized through the maintenance of the teaching personnel has proved a solid basis of operation for the greater maturation of each individual cadet as a total personality. ln fostering the accelerated maturation program greater responsibility was given to the Student Officers of the Junior School Company. Their response to their multiple duties was admirable and they inspired their men to high accomplishment indeed when our Company C was given the highest award of a blue ribbon in competition with the Upper School companies in the brilliant Military Review held at the Annual Father's Day celebration. An increase in the assignment of responsibility was by no means limited to the Junior School Officers. Each cadet was given duties thought commensurate with his abilities. Unquestionably this procedure resulted in a grown-up atti- tude on the part of the students that allowed for offering of enriching experiences which would not have been possi- ble otherwise. Field trips in science and other courses gave first-hand experiences with existing conditions in the world of reality. Thus enriched the cadets were enabled to bring more to the academic work with the concomitant that the knowledge gained from their studies was increased in multiple proportions. The foregoing statement is amply attested to by the Fall Testing and Spring Re-testing pro- gram which showed an increase in learning in many subiects of two full school years in the course of six short months. Not only in academic activities was this rapid growth apparent but similar strides were taken in expressive areas of music, art and drama. The singing of the Junior School Glee Club at the Annual Minstrel and Variety Show held March 27, 1953, revealed clearly that the cadets not only have an innate feeling for fine music but are fully capable of functioning successfully in that difficult media. The Art Exhibit held in conjunction with the Annual Min- strel and Variety Show proved that decidedv growth in expressive powers through sculpture, crayons, pastels and tempera. Clearly an extensive knowledge of proportion, symmetry and color blending was achieved through cre- ative activity rather than through a more mechanistic and therefore less desirable approach. As to the drama, the work done by all the participants in the speaking roles of the various plays throughout the years, revealed a high degree of training in both voice and diction as well as histrionics. Akin to the cultural advantages gained by participation in the expressive arts are the personal attributes that can be gained from an acquirement of social graces. For this purpose the students were afforded opportunities for par- ticipation in Ball Room dancing, teas, hall parties and the like, all of which contributed to desirable learning in this region. ln these real-life social circumstances the cadets are encouraged to acquire polish in bodily movements, the social amenities and polite speech. For boys possessed of the enormous vitality characteris- tics of the average Junior Schooler, other energy outlets are needed than those provided for in studies, artistic endeavor, and socializing. This need is met by an athletic program that completely fulfills their every requirement. Perhaps the completeness of the fulfillment was made pos- sible by the success of the various teams in their inter- school contests. The soccer team went through its season undefeated, the Jay-Vee basketball team enjoyed an equally triumphant record, and our swimming team was unquestionably the finest ever developed in the history of the Junior School. Let it be known, however, that although our athletes always performed with unflagging zeal, they were, never- theless, at all times sedulous in their strict adherence to the rules of the game. Not only in sports have the cadets been encouraged to behave according to regulations, In all their activities, social, academic and religious, they have been encouraged to show concern for ethical values. The Junior Schooler has been taught and all have learned, to the degree of indi- vidual ditterence that the moral rule of life is consideration of the rights of others as above self-interest. lt is the manly way--the P.
