Glee Club ASICALLY the Glee Club ofters more pleasaure than any other activity at P. M. A., tor everyone likes to sing, and especially to harmonize. Although it requires concentrated and continuous work on the individual's part, its members will agree that the result is worth the eFtort. This year's contingent consisted practically of all new cadets, as most of last year's group had graduated. Also new to the Glee Club was Mr. Gordon Muntord, who guided the Club excellently. The Club participated in the Fathers' Day program and the Christmas Festival. lt also sang at the Commencement Exercises which ended the Club's very successful activities for the year. Tenors: Macklin, Kibling, Schlinger, Hones, Hubbard, W. Shapiro, C. Shapiro. Basses: Wright, Dean, Rainger, Nordan, Kurtzman, Margolin, L.

Pan-American Club OR the past' few years, the Pan-American Club has been very successful in its dances and other enioyable doings. Many new faces have ioined the Club, the total membership now being 23. Ouring the middle of the year, Maior Walter Andersen was chosen as our new adviser. Our meetings have been taken up with discussions of informal dances, a formal clance, and the possible purchase of a second-hand TV set. With the co-operation of President Yearwood of the Varsity Club and its adviser, Mr. Gabriel, the Pan-American Club has held several informal dances in the Varsity Club.

The Ford Library HEN a cadet has to engage in research for speech, has to make up a literary requirement in English, or merely wishes to read good literature for enioyment, he is welcome in the Ford Library. The library is open nightly, Monday through Friday, and on Sunday afternoon ancl evening. lt contains a wide selection of material. There is a stock of books numbering approximately 4000, covering every conceivable topic. There are three daily newspapers, numerous periodicals and monthlies, and many annuals. On the research side, the library contains three encyclopedias, the Reader's Guide, and a large dictionary. In addition there is a special annex, appropriately called the dungeon, where much of the older research material is kept. Mr. George L. Tarr is the faculty adviser. To assist him there is a cadet staFf headed by Neale Albert, head librarian, and consisting of Jay Parker, Kenneth Kurtzman, Jack Krohn, and Manuel Blum. These are the students who advise the cadets as to the library procedure and who make the necessary trips to the dungeon. The library has a very pleasant atmosphere, one which is especially conducive to hard work and achievement. lt is a very busy place. One is almost certain to see at least several cadets working there at any specified time. New books are constantly being added to the collection. Several science-tiction novels have recently been added. There is a section devoted to college material 'for the senior's benefit. Also present is a collection of previous P. M. A. yearbooks for the underclassmen's benefit. All in all the library is a very excellent place to study. Comparable to other schools of our size, it is one of the best to be found. -46 Standing, I. to r.: Weber, Sevin, Reget, Mr. Scott, Sponsor, H. Goldberg, Miller, Sontillo. Sitting: L.

A. in 1948, with the aim of encouraging and honoring journalistic endeavors. Since the Chapter's inception, forty-five members have been admitted. This yeclr's members include Harvey Goldberg, Robert Goldstein, Richard Sevin, John Dreyer, Harry Santillo, Mark Muller, Hanno Weber, Lory Wells, George Olson, and David Depew. Mr. Richmond L.

Camera Club HE Camera Club is currently enioying one of the greatest surges of activity in its history. This year, under the leadership of Mr. Merton Laverty, faculty adviser, the Club was able to accomplish things only dreamed of before. A darkroom was fitted out. The Club now has ample facilities for developing, printing, and enlarging. The members were taught the correct procedure for taking pictures and the processes necessary for developing them. Many new proiects were undertaken and all the old ones continued. Club mem- bers took snapshots at the Fathers' Night show, social events, and athletic contests. The annual Camera Club contest was held with prizes for the winners. The Club is doing excellent work now ancl looks forward to years of even greater activity. Membership is increasing every year. ln the future the Club should be one of the most influential groups on the campus. 48 L to r.: H. Goldberg, Maior Lavin, Coach, Albert. Debating HIS year for the second time the speech classes included a large amount of debating to prepare a team for the annual Invitational Debate Tournament at Valley Forge Military Academy. This year's contingent consisted of Neale Albert and Harvey Goldberg. The obiect of the Tournament is to bring together teams from many dihierent types of schools. It provides an opportunity to meet boys of the highest caliber scholas- tically. The experience gained, win, lose, or draw, is of infinite value to those who participate. It teaches them to get up on their feet in front of an audience and to express their ideas in convincing manner. The Tournament was held on Saturday, April 24. Fourteen schools were represented, among them the finest military and prep schools in the East. During the day the team debated four times on the proposition: Resolved: That the President of the United States should be elected by direct vote of the people. P. M. A. debated Kiski School and Hargraves Military Academy. We won both, receiving sixteen and fifteen points, respectively. In the afternoon, we faced Archmere and St. Joseph, beating the former with sixteen points, and losing to the latter with thirteen points. ln the final standings we tied Hill School for fourth place, finishing behind Blair, Si. Joseph, and Lawrenceville. P. M. A. finished higher than any other military academy, topping Valley Forge, Hargraves, La Salle, and Charlotte Hall. ln the Individual standings Cadet Goldberg ranked fifth, and Cadet Albert ninth. The team is improving every year and hopes to be able to send to the Tournament next year a contingent able to cop first place. Major Thomas Lavin is the coach of debating. 49 L. to r.: Oravslcy, Walter, Mr. Laverty, Adviser, Monaco, Shapiro. Radio Club FTER a lapse of three years, the Radio Club was reorganized last November. The purposes of the Club are to teach the Morse code and basic radio theory, and to build radio sets. Members will then take the test given by the Federal Communi- cations Commission in New York City to qualify for ham operators' licenses. The Radio Club has only five members this year: Sal Monaco, Charles Shapiro, Noel Walter, Walter Oravsky, and Eugenio Astol. All are to be congratulated on their fine work.

Varsity Football HREE victories cmd but four losses was the record of the Blue and White football team this year. This gave the school its best record in three years. Had it not been for injuries to some of the regulars in early season games, the rec- ord might -have been more imposing. The season opened with the Cadet eleven travelling to Briarcliff where it registered its first victory of the season. Benito Henriquez and John Rainger scored touchdowns to bring a i3-O triumph. Concordia Prep visited Peekskill next and fell before an aroused Cadet team, 24-6. Dave Depew, with two touchdowns, led his team to victory. The next team to be met was Hendrick Hud- son High, and, despite a fine first period, P. M. A. suffered its first defeat of the season, 20-7. Rainger scored the lone touchdown for the losers. Depew scored his second touchdown of the season as the Carmel High School eleven hand- ed our team its second loss by the score of 27-7. The next two games saw the Blue and White lose a pair of contests to schools which, tradi- tionally, have fine teams. First, Storm King was victorious, and later Hackley repeated their wins of the past four years. Unable to score in either game, P. M. A. began to feel the shortage of a manpower due to iniuries to key players. The last game of the season saw Rainger and Hachtman score six pointers to ioin with Doug Merritt is leading the Kaydets to victory in the season's finale. Merritt sparkled with a 65-yard gallop in the second half to set up the last tally. Standing, l, to r.: Doug. Merritt, Bedder, Rainger, Depew, Cama, Goldstein, Hachtman, Bonifacio, Karchmar.

Soccer INCE quite a few letter-man, including the same half-back trio and most of the forward line, were back from last year's team, we looked forward to a good season. The only apparent weakness was in the front line, but if they could score as they ought to, there should be little trouble. Coach Gabriel worked on the front line to mould it into a fighting, driving, scoring ma- chine which would be a credit to any soccer group. With less than two weeks of concentrated effort, we successfullly played against our first opponent, Riverdale. No one was cocky enough to predict the outcome of the game, but the team's spirit was high and we had our new good-luck charm Goofie with us. Goofie stayed with us all season and played a prominent part in the team's winning game after game until we met Army. Although Army was not the most skilled team we ran up against, it was by far the best con- ditioned, the fastest, and the biggest. Army's long boots kept the ball well into our defensive half of the field most of the tirst quarter, but their forwards failed to convert any of their numerous chances into goals. Goalie Al Smith in the P. M. A. goal thwarted Army's attack time after time. On the other hand Dom Palacios and Este Balleste both made good in the seccnd quarter and scored on two of the few times P. M. A. was able to penetrate Army's defense. Just as the half ended Army scored on a pen- alty kick. The game was tied up late in the third quarter when the ball bounded off a P. M. A. fullback and into the goal. Army scored again in the fourth quarter to give P. M. A. its first and only defeat. Shaken but not dis-spirited, the P. M. A. cadets bounced back into the winning column by breaking Hackley's undefeated skein at nine games. This was a particularly pleasing win as Hackley had previously defeated Army. P. M. A. completed its twelve game schedule without further loss. Much of the credit for the team's winning must go to the coaches, Vic Gabriel and Jim Wells, who welded the team together into one compact playing unit. Without their leadership, it is doubtful if the team would have done so well as they did. Harvey Goldberg played the left outside, a very difficult position for a right footed booter. Dom Palacios played the other outside wing, pound for pound he proved one of the best players on the team. Mario Vega was at the left inside and played it as though the position were made for him. Este Balleste was the center for- ward and on occasion forced the opposing de- fense and bullied his way into enemy territory. Pete Macklin rounded out the forward line as right inside. His drive often set up point-winning plays. The three half-backs-Jay Parker, at right half, Bruce Sutton, at center half, and Ernie Reget, at left half-were back from last year's team but were greatly improved. More skilled, advanced in team play, and still the same de- pendable trio they were in l952, they constantly played their best in the tight spots. The three defensive players this year were quite green. Ed Yearwood at fullback finally broke his iinx and played the complete season without iniury. Bill Dean, the other fullback, tried the game for the first time this year and earned a starting berth. Al Smith rounded out the de- fense as goalie. Last year Al was the substitute goalie, but the additional experience made him a top-notch goalie. Green they might have been at the start of the season, but it would be diffi- cult to find a smoother defense anywhere when the season closed. Record: P. M. A.

Coach Andersen had plenty of height in Al Smith and Frank Cama, each scoring over 145 points for the season. When it came to small men who could move fast and feed the ball to the-big men, Al Watson and Tom Flood were a coach's dream come true. Watson aver- aged eight points a game and was instrumental in winning many of the games early in the season. When he cooled off, Tom Flood went scoring spree, Watson got I8 points, Smith 17. Our next game took us to Tarrytown to meet an undefeated Irving squad. Irving had one of the tallest teams in the league with two men 6'5 . Against this factor we lost 51-43. At this point Coach Andersen brought Tony Lim up from the JV's. Lim didn't show up too well in his first game, but when he did he put the varsity back into the winner's column. An important thing about this game was that we only scored two points in the second quarter. into action and played heads-up ball for the rest of the season. John Rainger, a JV player last year, made the varsity and became the best foul-shooter on the team. The first game of the season was against Briarcliff, one of the best teams in the country. We took the fioor with great determination and came out with a 64-61 victory. Al Watson was high man with 22 points. The second game against Haldane we dropped by a 66-50 score, but it taught us a lesson: not to let a victory go to our heads. After Haldane the Cadets went on to beat Katonah, Children's Village, and Hackley. With three straight wins to their name, P. M. A. next played Concordia Prep. This game turned out to be a thriller, for, in the last few seconds of the game, Frank Cama, the big center, sank cr field goal to put us ahead 43-41. We next beat Storm King with ease 61-46. In this game Al Watson and Al Smith went on a After Irving came Katonah, a close game end- ing in a 48-47 victory for P. M. A. John Rainger was high scorer with 12 points. It is interesting to know that he scored one of them in the last quarter giving us the victory. Our next game we lost to Hackley 76-42. After much travelling on the road, we were glad to play a home game against Hendrick Hudson. We won this game in an overtime 56- 54. Top man was Frank Cama with 18 points, followed by Al Smith with 16. Next came St. Peter's. Tom 'Flood led the team to a 72-38 triumph, accumulating 21 points. Three days later on our home field we met Hopkins Grammar. At the half, Hopkins led 30-20, but in the third quarter we closed the gap 47-43. When the fourth quarter got under way, three of our starting five were out on fouls, which spelled defeat for us. The game ended 69-50. The season ended with two straight victories, St. Peter's, 53-29 and Storm King, 55-50. In the latter game, Tony Lim came through with 19 points. When the season ended, the varsity had ll wins, 4 losses. David Pope, Pete Savrides, Steve Phillips, Vin Cubero, Bob Goldstein, and Harvey Goldberg did not share the limelight at the start but they were instrumental in keeping the team on its toes by playing hard at every practice. Al Watson, John Rainger, Robert Goldstein, and Harvey Goldberg are the graduating seniors on the team. Al Watson and John Rainger were chosen co- captains of this year's varsity basketball team. At the close of the regular season, the team was eager to practice for the Westchester County Tournament. We entered the tournament to play against Concordia Prep. Concordia had an out- standing center. Our plan was to prevent his scoring. At the end of the first half, P. M. A. led 30-23. As the game progressed, Concordia was closing the margin. ln the last few minutes of the fourth quarter, Concordia's center broke loose and the game ended 58-54 for Concordia. Coach Andersen selected Al Smith, the 6'3 forward, as the best player on the team for the season. Smith was high scorer in the tournament as well as for the season. On March 6, Smith participated in the Class B, Westchester County All-Stars at White Plains. l953-54 was a good start for what is to come. We had a good record this year, but next year should be better because of more expe- rience. P. M. A.

Varsity Swimming HE 1953-1954 swimming team could not compare in most respects with the Blue and White Mermen of the previous year. ln no event could the top performance of last year be matched. There also was a lack of depth this year which was not evident a year ago. How- ever, the team's record of nine wins and but three losses for the season showed that there was a terrific amount of courage and determina- tion. With just a handful of first line swimmers, the team made cr very fine record. The season opened in New York City with a loss to the strong Columbia University Freshmen, 43 to 32. Following Christmas, Trinity Pawling visited P. M. A. and became its first victim, bow- ing 47 to 28. Then came the annual trip to the Colgate University lnterscholastics where the Blue and White placed fourth. Freshman Doug Mer- ritt made the best individual showing, capping second place in the 50 yard freestyle. Greenwich was then host to our team and ad- ministered the second loss of the season, 41 to 34. lt was sweet revenge for the Nutmeggers as the Cadets had given them their first loss in three years in their meeting the year before. Then came three straight wins over Hackley, Nyack and Horace Mann. The third and last loss of the season came when New Rochelle upended P. M. A. 44 to 31. This was the first loss to a Westchester County team in more than three years. Victories over Hopkins Grammar at New Haven, Peekskill High School, Mamaroneck, and Archbishop Stepinac followed. The win over Peekskill was one that will not be forgotten for many years to come. With victory hinging on the final event, the P. H. S. freestyle relay team touched the tile ahead of P. M. A., only to have their team disqualified for improper starts. This gave the Kaydets the much cherished triumph 38 to 37. The Westchester County Private and Parochial Schools championships came next and P. M. A. placed second to McBurney School of New York City. Our boys made a strong bid to repeat its victories of the previous two years, but the best the undermanned tankmen could do was to finish second. First places were scored by Mark Muller in the diving, Bruce Norton in the 150 yard RESULTS P. M. A.

The final dual meet saw Iona drop before our natators by a store of 46 to 29. Then came the Peekskill High School Invitational where we tied the host team for second spot behind White Plains High. Cadet winners were Doug Merritt in the 40 yard freestyle and the medley relay trio of Rankin, Depew, and Merritt. Depew placed second in the 100 yard breaststroke as did Muller in the fancy diving, Leading this year's team was Captain Dave Depew, who was competing in his fourth season. His breaststroking and leadership ability helped bring many victories. Bruce Norton, Doug Mer- ritt, and Andy Pauwels took care of most of the freestyle events, with Merritt showing only two losses in his specialty, the 40 yard freestyle. Fred Rankin improved his backstroking steadily and became one of the best in the county by season's end. Mark Muller and Bruce Sutton were the divers, with the former losing first place but once during the year. Dick Kibling in the breaststroke and Manny Blum in the 200 yard freestyle also brought needed points to the team. Rounding out the squad were freestylers Rene Abreu, Ray Ruggles, Charles Hones, Robert Reid, breaststrokers Simon Blum, Peter DeMatheu, and backstrokers John Ugarte and Manuel Jimenez.

HIS year the rifle team enioyed one of its best-scheduled match agendas in recent years. After the last round of ammunition was fired at the Connecticut State Tournament, one could look at the record and say, iustifiably, that it was a successful season. An important factor contributing to this success was the high morale of the squad as a whole. ln reviewing the season, it is not unfeasible to consider first of all the final match: the Connecticut State Tournament. For it was in this that P. M. A. won second place, winning second high for out-of- state teams, and first place among the high and prep schools com- peting. For the latter distinction, the team was awarded the Elihu Lyman Trophy. More than this, the Connecticut State performance bettered the attempts of P. M. A.'s arch-rival, Xavier High School of New York City, which, earlier in the season, had dealt the Cadets a 942-931 defeat. Out of eleven shoulder-to-shoulder matches, the team won eight. But it should be noted that each of the three teams that defeated P. M. A. fired a 940 out of a possible TOOO score, or better. When a team posts a score this high, every rifleman knows that it is not only a top team, but that it had those indefinable breaks during the match. 60 Cadet Avera This year's team was captained by Eddie Yearwood, who earned his fourth consecutive letter in Varsity Rif1ery. The loss of Yearwood Yearwood, Tom Bates, and Sal Monaco, all seniors, will be felt on Midkm, next year's roster, but to carry the torch will be such marksmen as Morse Tex Midkitf, this year's co-captain, Norman Wells, and Ronnie Wells Morse, the latter a sophomore who showed remarkable improvement Bates this season. Monaco When looking at the individual match averages for the past Kfohn season, one is impressed at the intense competition that occurred Peters for top honors. When Hcmno Weber, the squad's efficient manager, Rullson Weber totaled up the individual match averages a week preceeding the Connecticut State Tournament, the record indicated that Yearwood was leading Midkiff by the slim margin of one-seventeenth of a point. Then, at Connecticut State, ironically, the two men posted identical scores-189, which meant that Yearwood retained his slender edge and won the top-man laurels. Next year's team, which will be bolstered by newcomers Ronald Peters and .lohn Rulison, will be looking forward, in particular, to matches with Xavier, Christian Brothers Academy of Albany, and LaSalle Military Academy, the only three teams that managed to win over P. M. A. during the past season. P.M 885 925 903 924 918 916 919 931 923 918 931 Summary Ossining Ossining Scarsdale Scarsdale Christian Brothers Christian Brothers Manlius Mil. Acad.

M. A., Coach Ahern's iob was even more diFficult. While the number of wins did not show a successful competitive year, the cooperation and spirit shown towards Coach Ahern was tremendous. Sadly undermanned, our greatest' weakness was in the heavyweight classes where three men fought in classes far over their weight. After losing five meets in a row, P. M. A. pounced on a weaker squad from Con- cordia Prep and ran up a score of 31-11, only to be beaten in the next meet by Scarsdale. The final dual meet of the year, however, was an example of the improve- ment the cadets underwent. ln the first meet with Horace Mann, P. M. A. lost by a stinging score of 21-13. Determined to get revenge, the cadets keyed themselves for that final meet. With excellent guidance from Mr. Ahern and a determination unseen before, the cadets were able to outscore Horace Mann at the start and upset them with a resulting score of 20-17. The Westchester P. and P. School Wrestling Tournament, entered by the four schools of this district with wrestling teams, put a cap on the season. Joe Garcia, George Mitch, Bob Karchmar, Ron Ballard, Bill Dean, Lynn Wise, and Lory Wells were sent to the tournament held at Horace Mann school to represent P. M. A. Due to a misunderstanding, Lynn Wise was unable to make his weight, thereby forteiting in that class. Although Garcia, Karchmar, Strasser, and Wells took firsts, Ballard a second, and Mitch a third, giving P. M. A. more individual trophies than any other team, the cadets were able to place only third. Credit must be given to these cadets for sacrificing much so that they might represent the school at this meet. Standing, l. to r.: Norkin, Asst. Manager, Schlinger, L.

Varsity Baseball PRING fever and baseball arrived simultane- ously this year. Spring fever seemed to take more effect. The opening ball game with Hal- dane was a milestone for Haldane, 20 P. M. A. cadets went down, swinging for a new school record for Haldane. The result: we were shut out 4-O. The second game with Hackley was another shutout as the cadets failed to hit until the 5th inning and then they couldn't bag a run. The third game would be better left out be- cause Katonah pounded out a i9-2 victory over P. M. A. The only consolation, a minor one, was that the cadets scored their first two runs of the year. The fourth game was it. The steadily improved nine routed a strong Briarcliff team, ll-8. Our hitting was not too great, but heads-up baseball was featured as we took advantage of Briar- cliFi's fielding lapses. Next came St. Peter's and catastrophe. To coin a phrase, The roof fell in. To begfn with Steve Phillips, star shortstop, good hitter, and all-round hustler, was out for an operation, Doug Merritt, freshman right-fielder, was out because of iniury. Pete Hachtman, leading hitter at the time, walked in the first inning, sliding into second on a steal, sprained his ankle. The iniury- ridden cadets took it on the chin, ll-5. Some fielding lapses, a few bad breaks, and a com- pletely off-day, all the ingredients when thrown together, produced the miserable set-back. The next game and our last game so far with St. Mary's of Katonah was a complete letdown. Pete Savrides, second baseman, sprained his ankle in infield practice before the game was under way. With all the other bad breaks, a completely uninspired band of cadets handed St. Mary's the game, ll-l. This finished the first half of the season. i tt s. .

Varsity lTH a late start it has been very difficult for Coach Gabriel to whip up a team, but since most of last year's team members are back, things do not look bad. The team standing will not have been. decided by the time this article goes to press, but, all considered, P. M. A. should be near the top. The two teams caus- ing P. M. A. some worry are Manhasset and Sewanaka. The defense of the cadet team consists of Bob Paradise, Ron Spence, Nate Hirschberg, and Ed Yearwood, the goalie. With only Paradise and Lacrosse Yearwood back from last year's starters, the defense is the weakest of the three links making up the team. However, the combined efforts of Coach Gabriel and the members of this group should be sufficient to put the defense into a strong wall of protection around the goal. Dave Depew has moved from his defensive position of last year to the mid-field group, where he will be able to take advantage of his hard shot. The center position of this group is still undecided, it lying between Lynn Wise and Mark Muller. Wise has had more experience, but perseverance cmd hard work will be the deciding factor. Ron Ballard continues to play his mid-field position. He is one of the top goal getters for the team. Jay Parker, Ernie Reget, and Bob Karchmar, who already have received letters for their posi- tions on last year's team, are the starting men at close attack. Bob Karchmar probably will be the unsung hero of the attack group, doing most of his work behind the cage and feeding the ball to the men for the score. Having experi- enced men of the mid-field and attack groups will enable Coach Gabriel to teach scoring plays and greatly increase the scoring potential of the team. Six of the scheduled twelve games have been played. ln these six games, P. M. A. has been unable to show the results anticipated. Perhaps the toughest break was a loss to Poly Prep. The cadets were ahead 4-l at the end of the half, but from there on out things started going down hill. R-on Spence was taken out because of an iniury, and the cadet team lost three men be- . -121544, 3. JSM cause of excess fouls. Fouls proved to be the final downfall. With so many men out, Poly Prep lost no time in scoring while they had an extra man. Try as they would, the defense was unable to use an effective zone. The final score 6-5 in favor of Poly. Manhasset, Garden City, and Sewanaka also came out on top in the contests against P. M. A. Mineola and Stevens l. T., however, went down under a much improved cadet team. lt seems that the attack and mid-field have finally settled down to some good old-fashioned scoring, and the defense has strengthened them- selves into a high wall of impenetrable protec- tion around the cage. The fouls have slackened, perhaps the cadets have linally realized the futility of it and recognized the handicap they force upon the defense and goalie. Line-up: Goal-Yearwood, Defense-Hirschberg, Paradise, Spence, 2nd Defense-Depew, Center -Muller, Attack-Parker, Reget, Karchmar, 2nd Attack-Ballard. Tennis HIRTY prospects responded for tennis, and out of the sifting emerged a Pan-American trio, Brazilian Roberto Reid, New York's Peter Steinman, and lvan L'Official of the Dominican Republic, to do the tennis chores for P. M. A. Reid, a potential champagne and caxdar player, lived up to the menu in his match against Frankel at Riverdale. Frankel was within one point of winning the match on three occasions, but Reid refused to yield. He overcame a 2-5 deficit in the second set by winning T2-T0 and defeated the surprised Frankel in the deciding set 6-4. The spark that ignited that display was lacking in subsequent matches, and at mid- season the question of whether or not Reid could change a Fourth of July performance from an annual to a perennial affair loom-ed large. Steinman, a less experienced but more deter- mined player than Reid, was nursing an uncer- tain backhand stroke and a feeble service in the early matches. With their recovery, coupled with his agility acourt and will to win, Steinman was expected by mid-season to have put a fine cutting edge upon his game. ln the six matches to date L'OFficial played as though winning would mean deportation to his native land, but fast learning the advantages of a strong net game, he served notice that his epithet of Ivan the Courteous would soon have to yield to lvan the Terrible. Behind these three came Margolin and Pau- wels, both jocking for the fourth position on the team. A scrappy quartet of Morse, Duque, and the Shapiro brothers were learning that the will to win is no substitute for skill when it comes to playing tennis. Standing, I. to r.: Pauwels, W.

Varsity Club HE Varsity Club is solely for those cadets who have earned their varsity letters. This year's membership numbers well over fifty. The Club is equipped with a radio, a ping-pong table, and a pool table. The Club held its annual fall dance which was a large suc- cess. lt has also put on many informal dances during the year. These dances have given the cadets and their dates many en- ioyable Saturday nights. With many ofthe faculty present, these intormals have been tremendously successful. Much credit is paid Mr. Gabriel, the club's adviser, tor his tireless efiforts in aiding the Club. 69 70 ,Q , - Q S f .4 Q?

With the exception of very few, most of the members had the valuable experience of several previous years with the P. M. A. Band. Under the direction ofthe new Director of Music, Mr. Gordon E. Muntord, the organization has steadily improved throughout the year. Topping the Band's activities was the spring concert which was held in the Ford Auditorium, April 4. The theme of the concert was Music of the 20th Century and the program included many light classical works by modern American composers. Atter the success of the concert, the Band was invited to play in the l954 State Music Festival, held in New Rochelle. At that time the Band competed against many bands from the entire State of New York and proved themselves to be one of the best in the state 'For their size. The Marching Band, with Cadet Captain John Rainger as Drum Maior, supplied music for all military formations. Many new marches were presented during the parades.

HENNEBERRY B.A., M.A., Ed.D., Columbia University Head of Junior School English, Pen manship The Junior School HE outstanding attitude in the Junior School this year has been an increase in respect for learning and cultural achievement. ln these days when intellectual and cultural accomplish- ments are held in some quarters in not very high esteem, this respect is indeed refreshing. The cadets quite apparently realize that personal growth results from the ability to deal with sym- bolized meanings and the ability to appreciate the beautiful. They are necessary factors to a full and worthwhile existence. This year has also seen an interest in good speech habits. Proper use of the voice has been emphasized strongly. The boys have tried to eliminate the speech faults of nasality and re- traction with some considerable success. ln the upper grades quotations from Shakespeare, Lin- coln, and other world figures have been used as vehicles of speech instruction. Competitions in which prizes were awarded for excellence in Voice and Diction stimulated much interest and proved developmental of good speech habits. Perhaps the greatest growth has taken place in the areas of Social Studies and science. Here indeed is a well-balanced development for liv- ing in a democracy. The interest in science shows an attitude of open-mindedness toward the acceptance of facts, and a willingness to undertake research to gain these facts in a manner characteristic of the true scholar. When this attitude is blended with a feeling for human welfare, as manifested by the achievements in Social Studies, a high quality of human behavior is bound to emerge. Just such a quality has permeated the Junior School this year resulting in a morale that has never been higher. The achievement of a high morale has un- questionably aided in eliminating scholastic failures. Combined with a iudicious use of fac- ulty talents, this high morale has given the boys academic fulfillments that may be precursors of highly successful careers, not only in school, but in the hard vicissitudes of everyday life.

URANIUM . . . Demand Unlimited! For many months we have consistently recommended the purchase of CONSOLIDATED URANIUM MINES common stock. We felt it was an unusual growth and profit oppor- tunity. Facts ancl figures are now unfolding which bear out our contention more powerfully than mere words! In the Company's first I2 months of operation, gross revenue was approximately S227,000. Production for one month, yes just one month-March I954-had a gross value of approximately S200,000, THAT'S GROWTH! But, in our opinion Consolidated is iust beginning to grow, and we still believe this is the best speculation we have seen in over 20 years of trading in low-priced stocks. Don't overlook these important factors: the Federal Government has guaranteed to buy all Uranium ore produced, and most of America's largest corporations are spend- ing money to develop new uses and applications for Atomic Energy. All these factors create a bigger demand for Uranium ore! If you can afford to speculate-if you are in a position to buy and hold for what the future may bring-then again we say buy CONSOLIDATED URANIUM MINES common stock.
