' Q f 40 .Class History S Historian of the Class of i955 of Peekskill Military Academy, I am honored to record officially the history and achievements of this closs. I am one of the three cadets at this Academy who have been with this class since its beginning, and through those years, I have seen many cadets come and go, but those who are the closest are my classmates, of whom I shall soon tell you. The Class of l955 has been outstanding in the three branches of the P. M. A. life: Academics, Military, and Athletics. Since our Freshman year, we always had leaders in these fields. Academically the Class has an overall average of over 75 ofa. I do not think that you will find any class in the future with as much potential leader- ship as this year's graduating class possesses. Our class had its beginning in l947 when the campus was blessed with the appearance of Johnny Fast Buck Sombathy, and Este Don Juan Balleste, who came to us from the hills of Venezuela to give us Goofy. In the fall of l948, two more distinguished cadets joined us to expand our ranks: Vinnie Rah-Rah Cubero, who left his fellow clansmen in Puerto Rico to be educated at P. M. A., and Pete Greek Savrides-our class President-who hoped to expand his network to include the P. M. A. kitchen and printing his own English exams. In l949, several new members joined our class: Steve Phillips, Mayor, Police Chief, Fire Chief, and Postmaster of the thriving metropolis of Verplanck, N. Y., Dickie Captain of the Football Team Sevin, and Martin Goldberg, whose laugh still has the world wondering. The year i950 brought us John Duke Dreyer, who left his gang boys to take up pipe-smoking, and Frank Stretch Cama, with all his beard and razor blades. ln l95l seven new cadets came to the ivied halls of the Academy. We all know Lynn Grumpy Wise, who has just finished his newest novel entitled How to Obtain a Good Temperament , Russell Denis the Menace Weiss, writing a thesis on the world's greatest escapades, Mark How to get busted and made in one easy lesson Muller, Al Levine with his Kosher food and English IO exams, George Sir Winston George with his superficial vocabulary, Tex Well, l'll be danged Midkiff, and Domingo Tannana Palacios with his gift of gab. We further enlarged our class when in l952, eight more cadets graced our little world: Dave RheingoId Pope, P. M. A.'s addition to Alcoholics Anonymous, Rudy Cynical Bertrams with his stories on Why I love Marines , Richard Brains Bensky, Norm Got a Butt Wells, Hanno Gee, I only got a 94 Weber with his famous expression, Yah, you will tell me , Al Hi Podner Smith, who came straight from the cattle country, Dick The most neglected student Delaney, who came with all his souped-up cars, and swinging up to us from the darkest jungles of Venezuela, Manny Blum dragging his brains. The year 1953 enlarged our class with fourteen new members: Todd The Squeeze Beckerman, who brought with him his many little muscle building devices, Albert Ladies and Gentlemen, I'm going to talk on Baseball Corral, who intends to major in Surf-Boarding at Miami University, Pete Gee, I only got twenty-three hours sleep today Hachtman, whose lite is always Rosey, the two musicians from Massachusetts -Don I'll be seeing Jane in one day Davenport with his pages of computations Al on how to get through college on the least amount of money, and Ken Close the door. I iust got on the phone Kurtzman, who is still trying to remember what classes he didn't fall asleep in this year. That year also brought Manuel Ledezma and Alice through the portals of the Academy, Walter The Undertaker Oravsky came with his little price list on the newest styles in coftins, Mauricio Mute Mutis, Bernardo FreckIes Zangen and Miguel NonchaIant Duque rowed their way up to ioin our tribe from the iungles of Colombia, Rabbi Noel Walter entered the Academy bringing with him the history and customs of the ancient Hebrews, Arthur Silas Marner Margolin, who introduced the new money lending policy at P. M. A., Arthur Sweety Wright, who wrote a new novel entitled The sufferings of the boy who wanted to play the drums, and Thomas Punchy Flood III, whose main obiective in coming to P. M. A. was plaguing the faculty with his inscrutable questions. And lastly in 1954 nine poor souls rounded out our motley crew: Jerry Where is my shovel Cohan, with his outstanding talks of Penn Charter, Aaron According to Psychological Analysis Graff and his innumerable volumes of medicine so that the Senior Hall could receive better care, Robert Fins Gates, who came mainly to learn how to swim, Arthur Huh Jenkins, who moved in with his guitar and musical talents, Matthew Please keep quiet, I'm trying to sleep Deptula, who pushed his lazy carcass all the way from Shelton, Conn., Clint Moose Miller, who still complains about his short bed, Ernesto Comic Book lraheta, who almost compares to Diamond .lim Brady, John CrazyIegs Rostenberg, who wrote a term paper on How to get along with roommates, and .lose Bowling Alley Martinez, who is a frequent visitor of Washington Street. Well, you have met everyone in our graduating class, I believe that you are entirely familiar with the characteristics of each one. We sincerely thank Mr. Gordon Munford, our class advisor, for his hard work, helpful guidance, and encouragement in our every undertaking. We cannot forget Mr. Moore, Major Andersen, and every member of the faculty who has given so freely of his time both teaching in the classroom and coaching on the athletic field to prepare us for our life ahead. We will have the privilege of graduating because of what these teachers and our thoughtful parents have done for us. In return I am sure that we will do our best in every undertaking in order that we may prove our appreciation to them, hoping that the undergraduates will strive to attain greater heights than we have been able to attain. -Robert Karchmar Last Will And Testament We, the Senior Class of l955, being of sound mind, firm moral character, and able body, do hereby bequeath the following: Este Balleste leaves, but you can bet he didn't leave anything behind.

The morale ot the class was high, mainly because ot the fact that keen competition pre- vailed in both athletics and scholastics. Otto Becker, Presi- dent, manifested leadership abilities, and the class was strengthened by several new men at mid-year. At this writ- ing members of the class were making plans for a baseball team and for an oft-campus outdoor outing during May. 49 50 M .7 A W 4 qcggdg gvofgig, gy 70 X5 Wg QSMWW 4 iii- i X -Y, wr ' Y v! ff --if LQ'7Li ' N 1004961 alll funnel lsgfqtlflihwlaflglu ntl'-MA In x ' ug, Q, 4 kim! qv ,JN 4 C-.J Q I8 as X8 S85 W 4 ., '29, A If ff - Xl N S tra. l Second row, from left to right-Kurtzman, Blum, Beckerman, Smith, Mr. Papa, Sombathy, Oravsky Berlrams, Cohan.

Even though it takes many hours of concentrated work, the members of the Glee Club all agree that the result is certainly worth the eliort. The club participated in the Mother's Day program during the Chapel Services. A highlight of the activities this year was the singing of Christmas Carols throughout the city of Peekskill. Also planned is a short program during Commencement Exercises which will end the Glee Club's very successful year. 54 Third row, from left to right-Mutis, Rosenthal, Astal, J.

The Pan-American Club HE Pan-American Club, one of the most active organizations on the campus, has brought together the Spanish-speaking students from Latin America. Still an infant organization, it is looking forward to fulfilling the promises of its founders and its sponsors. One of its worthiest obiectives is to create an environment in which the cultural heritage of Mother Spain and of several countries of Latin America can be preserved and enriched. On its programs will be found discussions on the art, literature and music of some of the great Spanish masters. A well rounded social program aFfords every member an opportunity to enioy valuable friendships, on the campus as well as in the city of Peekskill. The Pan- American dances are always very successful and well attended, and the members are now contemplating a successsion of tea dances which, by their informality, will contribute still more to the goal of international amity.

Tarr, the library was as usual, one of the busiest spots on the P. M. A. campus. The library is a place where a cadet may prepare his assignment for a speech, term paper, or any other assigned work. For the leisure hours of the cadets, the library has many of the popular periodicals, magazines and newspapers, both in the library and in the reference room. For the senior who wishes to choose a college, the library has a section devoted entirely to colleges and careers. Here one may find the catalogues and pamphlets issued by the colleges and universities. To add to this selection, there are also many pamphlets and newspaper articles which describe many of the iobs and professions which are prevalent in the United States today. These books, pamphlets and cata- logues are also a great help to the underclassman who is desirous of attending college in the near future. ln order that they may assist Mr. Tarr in the running of the library, there are six cadets on library duty during the weekday evenings. Their main purpose is to assist the cadets in whatever way possible, to preserve quiet and order in the library, and to make frequent trips to the - dungeon where the reference materials are stored. There are Head Librarians Manuel Blum and Kenneth Kurtzman, who have served for two years, and William A. Smith, Rudolf Bertrams, Eugene Solod, and Antonio Pauwels. lt is also to be noted that the library has a collection of the yearbooks of the Academy, dating back to the middle l93O's, which records the life of the Corps of Cadets through the changing years. 56 Top row, from left to right-Bertrams, Phillips, Cohan, Muller, Weber, Sevin, Beckerman, Corral, Vuolo.

The Camera Club LTHOUGH many of last year's members did not return, the Camera Club after receiving some of the new cadets has had a successful year. Under the direction of Mr. Papa, the new advisor, who showed the greatest interest in the club, many new ideas were introduced, the members voted on a plan to develop rolls of film for the cadet corps, the cadets would receive this way quicker and cheaper service. New members learned how to print and develop films under the guidance of some of the older ones, and in general instruction on photography was given. The club may have been seen at many ot the dances, athletic events, and other group activities at which they took snapshots, many of which have gone into the school paper and yearbook. The Camera Club expects to increase its membership and be a valuable asset to the school in the years to come. 58 From left to right-Tellier, Major Lavin, Vuolo. The Debating Team OR the third year in a row, P. M. A. has formed a debating team to enter the lnterscholastic Debating Tournament at Wayne, Pennsylvania, This year the debating took place on April 22-23, l955. Cadets Frank Tellier and Louis Vuolo represented the Academy. They are both Juniors and this year they are given the opportunity to gain experience in the field of debating. This was the first debate away from the Academy for both of them. It is the aim of the Speech Department, under the direction of Major Thomas F. Lavin, to give every cadet the opportunity to learn not only the techniques of proper speech, but also the practice of public and intramural debating. lt is felt that this type of training is invaluable for the proper preparation of entrance into college life. Many graduates, who took a deep interest in speech and debating, have said that they derived great help and protit from their spech training received at P. M. A. We look forward to greater accomplishments in the future. 59 Second row, from left to right-Hersh, Oravsky, Swirda. First row-Paiteson, Mr. Laverty Keller Radio Club M.

Massachusetts Club ARLY in March of this year, the cadets of this Academy who come from the state of Massachusetts united to form the Massachusetts Club. Under the expert guidance of Maior Burns, the faculty advisor of the club, the cadets have drawn up a program which will benefit not only the present members of the club, but also those who will come to the Academy in later years. The chiefaims of the club are: l. To lend a helping hand to the new cadets from Massachusetts, 2. To promote school spirit, honesty, and integrity, 3. To promote a Massachusetts Alumni, 4. To add to the number of cadets from Massachusetts, 5. To meet from time to time during the summer in Brookline, Massachusetts. The members of this year's club include fifteen cadets from all over the state of Massachusetts. Although four of these members are leaving the club because of graduation this June, it will grow in the next few years, due to the fact that many new boys are expected from the state in the next year or two. Also, in the next few years, it is hoped and expected that the club will be on the same level as the Varsity Club and other such organizations. The club members wish to express their appreciation to the Headmaster, Board of Trustees, and Maior Burns for their splendid cooperation in establishing the club. President ........,,..

Its members learned how to use a slide rule, innumerable new experiments, and in general the fundamentals of science. The club hopes to increase its membership in the coming years and be an influential group on the campus. Stamp Club OFFICERS President ............ ...,......,.........,........

At the first meeting of the Club in the middle of January, it was decided that meetings would be held each Saturday during the school year. This year, four of the club members will be leav- ing because of graduation, but it is expected that the club will grow considerably during the next few years.

With the help of Mr. Gordon Munford, Advisor, the Dance Band became a group of professional quality and was always enioyed by everyone whenever it played. The success of the new club was proven dur- ing the Father's Day program when the Dance Band won the trophy for the best act. During the intermission of the Band's Outdoor Con- cert in May, the Dance Band will participate in a short program. Several of the Club mem- bers, under the tutorship of Mr. Munford, havi- written arrangements for the Dance Band, and will present them at that time.

The team's overall log was 2-5, but many of the games the team lost, might have been won with a break here and there. The team started out the season in whirlwind fashion as it stomped on Briarcliff, to the tune of 20-O. Next to fall victim to this fired up eleven, was Concordia, who was beaten l26-l3i. In this game, we might also note that the team came from behind to win. With our record unblemished we entertained Hendrick Hudson on our own field, and although they played hard, the Blue and White finished up on the short end of a 6-0 score. Had a second period T. D. not been called back, due to a penalty, the score might have been reversed. Next on P. M. A.'s schedule was a highly touted Carmel team. At the end of the first half the Blue and White were behind l27-Ol. After F 66 football the intermission, which gave the cadets time to collect their spirits, they gave the Carmel eleven q lesson in football as they outscored them H3-6i in the second half. The final score, how- ever, resulted in P. M. A.'s second loss K33-i3i. Our next tilt was again at home. This game was played on rFather's Day, with our traditional rival, Storm King. The cadet's fathers did not expect the cadets to win, as Storm King is noted for their powerful football team, but they were quite surprised when the cadets fought to a 6-6 tie at half time in a driving rain storm. Although beaten by a late surge H3-6i the cadets played their best game of the year. The following week the Blue and White took on Hackley. Hackley is the cadet's oldest rival, and both teams really point for the game. Hackley beat a tired and wornout cadet eleven I38-61. This was a tough defeat for the cadets to take, but even in this bitter defeat, they had their moments of brilliance. Last on the list of the Blue and White's op- LINE' UP ponents was Haldane. The cadet eleven was rather downhearted as it entered the game after the preceding week's defeat, coupled with an iniury to center Mark Muller and end Thomas Flood. The cadets played hard, but Haldane capitalized on the cadets' fakes to take a l32-Ol decision. It is true the team did not win many games, but those who played with this team, will have many fond memories. Among them: The fine offensive running of our two Bulls, Mer- rit and Karcltmar, as well as the fine open field turning of Crazylegs Rostenberg, Bonifacio and Cohan. Tom Flood, Pete Hachman, Art Bed- der and Bob Triggs were as sweet foursome of ends as any quarterback might ask for. Our quarterbacks were all experienced and did their iobs well, especially Dave Pope. When Dave wasn't at the helm, either Steve Phillips or Richie Meyers were. Our line also had strong points, especially the right side with Vincent Cubero at guard and Price Midkiff at tackle. Al Levine and Pete Savrides also did a fine iob on the left side with expert help from Lynn Wise and Ron- nie Morse, The center of our line was upheld by Mark Muller and Jim Schlinger. Had these boys not been plagued with iniuries and bad breaks, Coaches McKniFf, Lemaire and Brown might easily have led them to a championship. The 54- 55 football addition of P. M. A. wishes future elevens all the success, and sincere thanks to all their coaches and to the school for loyal support. Offense Hachtman, L.E. Levine, L.T. Savrides, L.G. Muller, C. Cubero, R.G.

Varsity Soccer LTHOUGH in the beginning, the outlook of the T954 season was not very bright, the team was fastly built up from a fine selection of old and new cadets. Back from last year's team were: Weber, Bal- leste, Pimsler, and Palacios, from the Junior Varsity: Duque, Ugarte, Bertrams, Corral, and Pauwels, Jenkins, Patterson S., Steinman, Lim, Garcia, and Martinez were the only new cadets selected after the careful screening of both coaches, Mr. Gabriel and Mr. Wells. To start off the season the cadets beat River- dale Country School 3-2 in a rather inexperi- enced game. The second game, against Ossining High School, was easily taken by the wide score of 3-l. The team lacked coordination, and squeezed through the next two games against Stanford l-O and 2-O. The team then let down in the two following games, they tied Scarsdale High School 0-O in a game in which the goalie, Duque, stopped a free penalty kick. Ossining High School then beat the so-far undefeated team in an overtime period, 2-l. The team awoke from its letdown, by going to West Point and Beating the Plebes in or rough game, l-O. The goal was scored in the lst quarter of the game and the P. M. A. cadets held the aggressive Plebe team the rest of the game. The cadets then raided Hopkins Grammar, and won an easy victory 3-l. The Blue and White then went to Hackley for their toughest game of the year. Both teams were under great tension, and the rivalry between them was never stronger. The first goal was scored by Hackley, but easily tied by Balleste off a pass from Martinez. Again, Hackley took the lead, and his time they held it until the last quarter when Center Halfback Hanno Weber passed the VARSITY SOCCER PICTURE Top row, from left to right-Mr. Gabriel, Bensky, Pertrams, Lim, Garcia, S.

Then in the last minute of play, Tony Lim made a pass to Palacios who made a beautiful goal with a head shot, which gave the cadets a well earned 3-2 decision. The Blue and White then came back to Depew field for the last game of the season. They finished up in fine style as they smothered Storm King 5-I. The Captain of the team, Hanno Weber, de- erves much of the credit for welding the group into a fine playing unit, as he distinguished him- self for his fine heading and strong booting. Art Jenkins and John Ugarte completed the strong defensive backfield, with Art distinguishing him- self as the most powerful kicker on the team. Also on the defensive unit were goalie Miguel Duque, and fullbacks Tony Pauwels and Jonas Pimsler all of whom did an excellent iob. On the line Domingo Palacios and Rudy Bertrams both did fine jobs of dribbling and centering from their wing positions, Center Forward Esta- ban Balleste together with the starting insides Jose Martinez and Antonio Lim executed fine at- tacking plays many of which were turned into goals. Substitutes Garcia, Steinman, Corral and Patterson took their positions with complete se- curity and confidence in their playing. Dom Palacios was the high scorer on this team, but every man did his share which made this team as great as it was. The team thanks the coaches, Mr. Gabriel and Mr. Wells, who so greatly helped them in their fine season.

Varsity Basketball HE Peekskill Military Academy basketball team ended its regular season with eight victories and eight defeats. lt then went to the County Center in White Plains, New York, where it beat Salesian High School in the first round of the Private and Parochial school tournament. The next night in front of the whole cadet corps, however, it was beaten in the semi-finals by Riverdale. The cadets made a gallant bid against an extremely tall team, and at the start of the last quarter, were leading by four points. This year's team in all ,probability will never play together again, but they will have many fond memories of this fine team. Among the various highlights of the season were two one point victories over Katona. Other highlights included an eleven point win over a highly touted Irving five, and a thirty-one point romp over arch rival Storm King. The team will probably never forget their thrilling game with West' Point, or their well played victory over PMA's longest and most hated rival, Hackley. Individually, there were also many highlights, with the sensational scoring of Co-captain Bob Triggs being a most noteworthy iob. Bob, a iunior from Springfield, Mass., broke all existing scoring records at the Academy. He scored 420 points for the season, and also scored 40 points in a single contest. His all around court play, and knowledge of the game, was a great factor, as he notched an average of 26 points per game. Another brilliant performer all year was the sharpshooting forward from the Philippines, Tony Lim. Tony who is barely 5'7 tall amassed 203 points on a great variety of shots. Tony was also the clutch player on the team, and he could always be depended upon to score when the cadet quintet needed it most, l am sure it will be a long time before any one forgets Tony's fabu- lous shot in the Concordia game, while he was lying on his back. Tom Flood, a scrappy guard from Lincoln- dale, New York, was another standout on this year's team. Tommy combined fine ball handling with driving layups, as he aided the team with lOl points, and a fine all around performance. Pete Steinman, a iunior this year emerged as the team's most improved player, and as the season progressed, Pete who stands 5'6 tall, proved to be one of the ablest point getters on the team. Pete's fine layups were the big factor in enabling him to come through with 'IO6 points, and a six point per game average. Rounding out the first tive were newcomer, and this year's Co-captain, Matt Deptula, and the team's best hook shot, Pete Hatchman, who alternated at the pivot position. Both of these boys were 'fine shots, but their greatest help to the team was their fine rebounding throughout the season. The reserves, who included Dave Pope, Vin- cent Cubero, Peter Savrides and Ronny Kon- ecny, were an immense help to this team. All of these boys did a fine iob this year, and their performances were deeply appreciated by all. The team appreciates greatly all their coach, Maior Andersen, did for them, and wishes him the best of luck with future PMA basketball teams. RESULTS Average Total Points Per Game l.

Coming home with three victories already un- der their belts they breezed through their next meet with Poly Prep 49-26. The cadets' next victory, in the Brown Univer- sity Interscholastics, was one of the most rousing of the year. Our 47 points were garnered by Bob Gates who won the lOO yd. backstroke, Art Jenkins who took the 50 freestyle, Mark Muller who took the diving and Gates, Coughlin, and Balleste, who won the T50 yd. medley relay. Other point getters in this meet for the Blue and White included Neil Devaney, Tony Pauwels, Richie Myers, and Doug Merritt. . The cadets then got a rest as they easily de- feated Nyack 42-33, and Horace Mann 48-26. ln the Horace Mann meet two records.were set, as Art Jenkins took the 40 yd. freestyle in 0:l9.0, and Bob Gates lowered the T00 yd. backstroke standard with a l:02.5. The cadets then won eight out of nine events from a weak lona Prep team, as Bob Gates set a record in the T20 individual medley with a clocking of l:l9.2. The cadets then tackled the usually tough Greenwich team, which proved no match this year, as the Blue and White merman took a 4l-34 decision, and set a new pool and cadet record, as Jack Connolly swam the TOO yd. breaststroke in l:05.6. The cadets then beat the Cornell Univ. -Fresh- man 38-38 as Ken Miller set a new cadet record by winning the lOO yd. freestyle in 0:54.7. Bob Gates the only double winner in the meet copped both the T00 yd. backstroke and the l5'O yd. individual medley. On the very'next day the Blue and White celebrated by traveling to Colgate Univ. to- win the Colgate Interscholastics, as they amassed a total of 47 points. Cadet winners in this meet included Jenkins in the 50 yd. freestyle, Muller in the diving, Connolly in the lOO yd. breast- stroke, Miller in the T00 yd. freestyle, Gates, Connolly, and Jenkins in the T50 yd. medley, and Miller, Doug Merritt, Myers, and Balleste in Top row, from left to right-Mr. Gabriel, Wolfe, Lockwood, Riddle, Leclair, Hoffman, Grossman, Burns, Mr. Wells.

New meet records were established in the l00 yd. breaststroke, and the two relays, plus Gates in the l0O yd. backstroke trials. He was disqualified in the finals as he posted another record time, covering the distance in l:0l.9. After a short visit to New Rochelle High School where they avenged last year's defeat 39-27, the Blue and White mermen returned home to swim in front of a Junior Prom week- end crowd. The team established three new rec- ords as they beat Stepinac 49-26.. The records were Ken Miller in the l0O yd. freestyle with a time of 0:56.05 Gates, Jenkins, and Connolly in the medley relay with the time of l:4l .2, and the foursome of Balleste, Miller, Doug Merritt, and Davaney in the 160 yd. freestyle relay, with the splendid time of l:l9.2. The Blue and White mermen then went to Hackley where they easily won by 3616-2916. The cadets then sent a four man team to Law- renceville, and the Eastern interscholastics. These four men gathered i6 points, and finished fifth in the diving, the relay team of Gates, Devaney, the l00 yd. backstroke in l:02.6, while estab- lishing a new meet record. The cadets' final meet was a 46-29 victory over Peekskill High School, in which the cadets gave away the last two relays. The team wishes to thank both Mr. Wells, and diving coach Gabriel for the help that they gave the team, and those who are graduating this year wish both coaches the best of luck with and Jenkins finished fourth, and Bob Gates won future Blue and White swimming teams.

A. this year, evidenced by the fact that approxi- mately one out of every two boys in school tried out for the Varsity squad. The first team to begin and the last to complete its Winter schedule, the squad's burden in match firing was carried main- ly by three stalwarts from last year's contingent: W. Price Tex Midkiff, Captain, Ronnie Morse, and Norm Wells. However, great interest and some promise was manifested by many of the rookies, including Ivan L'OFficial, George Hollwedel, Roy Fletcher, and Gene Cevasco. From the first day of practice in November, as in past seasons, every man looked forward with growing apprehension to particpating in the Annual Connecticut State Gallery Match at New Haven, in the latter part of March. This year the scores at Connecticut State were high and com- petion unusually rugged, but P. M. A.'s first four- man team managed to cop fourth place isecond place among thehigh and preparatory schoolsl in the Junior Division, in which some l3O teams competed. Then, at the end of March, news arriving from First Army Headquarters stated that the Cadets had won third place in their division in the Army Intercollegiate and interscholastic Match for the Area. ln virtue of this performance, the P. M. A. squad was selected to compete in the National Army matches in April. Considering the length of the season and the pre-eminently high competition in dual matches, the morale of the team was favorable. Those who did more than their share in helping to im- prove not only their own but others marksman- ship included Ron Peters and Ken Kurtzman. As far as the skill of individuals in matches was concerned, no one approached the sharp- shooting of Tex Midkiff. Miclkiff hit l9O out of a possible 200 at Connecticut State, for high man on the first team, and in dual matches post- ed a T93 and a l94, the latter mark tying the P. M. A. Range record. Others who broke into the 190s included Morse and Wells. The team's match record for the season was five victories and six defeats. Again, as in past years, Xavier High School of New York City reigned supreme along the Eastern Seaboard and also, probably, in the nation, with the pos- sible exception of Loyola High School of Los Angeles. In the season's tinal dual match, P. M. A. came within a hair's breadth of de- feating Xavier 'for the first time in years, but the Gothams edged out a 920-910 victory in the last firing order. ln addition to Midkift and Wells, William Al Smith and Clint Miller, two newcomers who showed promise, Hanno Weber, a veteran who worked diligently daily at improving his skill, and Managers Art Wright and Todd Beckerman will leave at graduation. Next year's squad will inherit three lettermen, Morse, Peters, and Jim Schlinger, who showed formidable potential un- der great pressure at Connecticut State when he scored 180 for top honors on the second team. Others who should be 180-men are L'Ofti- cial and Hollwedel, and high possibilities in Fletcher and Cevasco may be turned into actuali- ties.

Two new coaches, Mr. Guy Papa and Lt. Robert Brown had a rough iob cut out for them in shap- ing up the,1955 squad. This year there were four returning lettermen, Robert Karchmar, Lynn Wise, William Strasser and George Mitsch filled four of the weights leaving seven empty ones which had to be filled before the first match which was two weeks dis- tant from the first day of practice. The boys trained hard, but were unable to defeat the stronger Trinity team who won by a score of 28-23. New Rochelle was the Cadet's next op- ponent, a match which ended in a stalemate of 19-19. Next came the more experienced Scars- dale team which gave the cadets the biggest defeat of the season, 24-16, but the boys did not slacken and trained harcler to come back to win the first of the season against Horace Mann, 21-19. The spirit and cooperation of this year's wres- tling squad was tremendous. lt was inspired by the coaches who did a wonderful iob. All the boys worked with each other as well as with the coaches and improved their knowledge greatly. The determined P. M. A. team came out to ,romp Concordia by the overwhelming score of 39-6. Next came Hackley with a powerful mat team who took us 22-15. The cadets fought hard and bitter, but they did not succeed in defeat- ing Horace Mann for the second time, this match ended in a 19-19 tie. This made the cadets rally back in the next match and beat New Rochelle, 28-13, but they lost again to Hackley 21-19. These matches completed the actual wrestling season. Coach Papa entered four men in one of the toughest wrestling tournaments in the U. S. This was the Academy School Tournament held at Le- From left to right-Mr. Papa, Silva, ilande, Mitsch, Macaluso, Karchmar, Strasser, Kane, Wise, Bonifacio, Oravsky, Corral, Lt. Brown. high University. The cadets that were entered were co-captains Karchmar and Wise, Brian Kane, and Joe Macaluso. These boys soon saw the benefit which they would get from this fast league. Most of the boys had been wrestling five to six years and had an unlimited amount of experience. Our last match of the season was the West- chester County Private and Parochial School Wrestling Tournament, run at the Horace Mann School in New York. The cadets fought bitterly and at the end of two days they came home with the trophy for the winning team. We tied with the Hackley team. Those who took first place trophies were: Silva, T03-lb. class, Karch- mar, T33-lb. class, Wise, T54-lb. class. The rest of the team supplied the much needed seconds and thirds. The men that made up the team were as fol- lows: Silva, TO3 lbs., Lande, TT5 lbs., 'Mitsch, T22 lbs., Macaluso, T27 lbs., Karchmar, T33 lbs., Strasser, T4T lbs., Kane, T47 lbs., Wise, T54 lbs., Bonifacio, T65 lbs., Bennetti, T77 lbs., Oravsky, heavy weight. Others were: Doyle, T23 lbs., Zangen, T27 lbs., Nordan, TT5 lbs., Mey- ers, T65 lbs., Rossi, T03 lbs. The Co-Captains were Robert Karchmar, who won eleven matches, and Lynn Wise, undefeated in High School competition, who also won eleven matches. Outstanding on the team was Rafael Silva who earned 8 pins in 9 matches, quite an unusual event since this was his first year out for wrestling. Brian Kane, who was the most skillful wrestler on the team, but who had hard luck by being put in one of the hardest classes, he won eight matches and was chosen next year's captain of the team. Joe Macaluso did an excellent iob for his first year at the game. He took seven matches and with another year of experience he should be a fine wrestler. The team had a fine and successful season. Won three, lost four, and tied two, took first place in the W. P. P. S. A. A. with three winners and placed one fifth at Lehigh University. The coaches deserve the greatest credit for doing such a fine iob. The team is proud to say that one of the things they learned was sportsmanship, living up to the school's motto: Quit You Like Men.

Varsity HERE are enough men left over trom last year'sIVarsity to form the nucleus of this year's team. ln addition, some new candidates have appeared who are going to add consid- erably to both the first string and the bench. Since a team is only as strong as its bench, we feel stronger this year in being able to carry some extra hands who have shown their capacity to shoulder their burdens at a moment's notice. Last year's lettermen include Bedder, Boni- facio, Cubero, Merritt, Savrides, Sombathy and Hachtman. Such sterling performers as Konecny, Levine, Macaluso, Palacios, Walter and Wright have been promoted from last year's J. V. and will certainly help to strengthen us. ln addition, the pitching staff has been bol- Baseball stered by the acquisition of new blood to sup- port an overworked Bedder, viz.: Gimmi, Balleste and Lake. Gates linfieldl, Myers, R. loutfieldl and Mar- tinez loutfieldl are also newcomers who are on the road to a steady iob if they continue to per- form as they have. The others, Deptula and Dreyer, are receiving daily tryouts and improving visibly. After a shaky start in which we blew two close and unearned decisions to St. Peter's and Ka- tonah, we settled down to defeat Haldane and are now confident that we are on the way to playing the kind of ball that we are capable of. We will not win them all, but we will win our share. Top row, from left to right-Mr. Gabriel, A. LaForte, Gindoff, Spence, Schlinger, Pimsler, Sung, Kane, Morse, Mr. Wells. Second row-Flood, Karchmar, Weber, Muller, Pope, Midkitf, First row-Lande, Dave Merritt, Ferraguzzi, Ugarte, Connolly, M. Jimenez. Varsity HE first call for lacrosse candidates for the 1955 season soon made it evident that a long range program of rebuilding would be necessary to weld a winning combination out of th? green material that reported. Only three cadets, Bob Karchmar, Mark Muller, and Ron Spence were regular starters last season, only three other players-Hanno Weber, Jonas Pims- ler, and Manuel Jimenez-won previous letters. One of the better breaks for lacrosse was the switching of three football players, who had formerly been on the varsity baseball squad, to the Indian game. Of these three Dave Pope and Tom Flood have gained starting positions in the early season games and Price Midkiff is a de- fense substitute. With the season nearing the mid-way mark, Lacrosse the team is still greatly handicapped by poor stick handling and a great dearth of replace- ments. This is particularly true of mid-fielders, and in the present day game no team can keep up with top-notch lacrosse without a second set of mid-fielders and possibly a third nearly as good as the starters. Defensively, only Roy Spence has had a full year of varsity play, One of the big questions will be whether the four defensive men can learn to play good coopera- tive team play. Manny Jiminez has shown marked improvement from game to game and has been an important factor in the team victories to date. To date the team has a five hundred average. lf they can keep up this pace and finish the season with the some average, this team can consider it a successful year. Schneider, C. Miller, Cevasco, P.

The racketeers, both ex- perienced and inexperienced, demonstrated high interest in developing and strengthening their game. At their start, Hendrick Hudson and Briarcliff succumbed to the cadets by respective scores of 3-l and 4-l, but P. M. A. registered a no- table victory in defeating a more potent team, Riverdale, by a 3-2 count, lt was in this event that lvan L'OFticial, Art Jenkins, and Jerry Cohan, taking over the one, two, and three singles posts showed great promise. Jenkins, in particular, indicated superior potential, which, if properly actuated, could carry him to tournament tennis. He showed marked ability in his all-court game, and shrewd accuracy, but knew that his second service and overhead smash needed increased attention. Art, also had dimculty in accustoming his game to his opponents. For a fifteen-year-old, lvan L'OFticial possessed almost perfect form on the court. His service is well developed and rarely failed to operate effectively. Among his weaknesses were inaccu- racies and carelessness, especially early in the match, rushing the net at inappropriate times, and somewhat manifested Southern temper. Jerry Cohan, a Senior, signed up late for the squad, but clinched the number three singles spot and, although using an unorthodox and at times awkward form, outdistanced all of his first three opponents in straight sets. In the doubles positions there is much to be desired, but at the time of this writing the number one team of Art Margolin and Andy Pauwels has been undergoing intensive drill in hopes that better performances will vindicate the Riverdale setback. The team encountered a heavy schedule of fourteen matches and one tournament, which was made considerably lighter by the absence of power-laden Scarbourough, king-pin of New York State, and one of the best teams peren- nially on the East Coast. From left to right-Steinman, Sevin, Tellier, Triggs, Devaney, Wise, Capt. Osborne. Varsity Golf HIS year our school has inaugurated a new sport, Golf. lt has been organized in an interscholastic basis, with the team already hav- ing eight matches. The team has been ably coached by Capt. William Osborne, who has devoted much of his time to straighten out the team's many faults. Recent scores have shown marked improvement which is the proof of his hard work. On May 2nd the team will journey to Tucka- hoe, N. Y., where it will enter the Westchester Private and Parochial School Golf Tournament. Our hopes are high for a good showing in this competition. The squad is composed of six men, who are: Bob Triggs, Peter Steinman, Frank Tellier, Rich- ard Sevin, Neil Devaney, and Lynn Wise. Four of this year's starting team are Juniors, and next year's team has this hope ot experienced and skilled players. J. V. Football Top row, from left to right-Nydick, N.

First on this busy sched- ule was the Thanksgiving Dance which proved to be a great success. The highlight ofthe Fall sea- son, however, was the brilliant record l8-li of the Soccer team. The club has been the constant scene of many informal dances, as well as some riotous moments when pool games were broken up by a pool ball fight. Well, we guess the summer will give the pool table a well earned rest, the sharks will leave, their followers will take over where they left oFt with last minute smokes before class, and the frequent bull sessions during their free time. Although this year's edition will grace the V. C. no more, their picture will remain a lasting monument. 84 Qc fly 1 Riff P N K - . RJXJJFJQX ,, 'Q W icgbw MJ, CZOLCQL 1 Qlfju I ' i K ,I , A 3.

Band HIS has been an outstanding year for the Band. With the exception of very few, most of the members had the valuable experience of several years with the P. M. A. Band. Under the direction of the director of music, Mr. Gordon E. Munford, the organization has steadily im- proved throughout the year. The highlight of the Band's activities was the spring concert which was held in the Ford Audi- torium on April 3rd. The theme of the concert was A Musical Holiday and the program in- cluded the music of many foreign countries. After the success of the concert, the Band was invited to play in the 1955 State Music Festival, held in Valhalla, N. Y. At that time the Band competed against many bands from the entire State of New York and proved itself to be one of the best in the state for their size. Also, during this competition, several of the individual mem- bers won medals as soloists. An outdoor Pop Concert was presented after the parade on Sunday, May 15th. Several soloists also played selections during the spring chapel services. At the time of this writing, the Band is planning to visit several public high schools in this area to give concerts. The March- ing Band, with Frank Tellier as drum major, sup- plied music for all military formations. They also iourneyed to White Plains to play in a parade on May lst.

We have endeavored to estabilsh sound moral, physical and scholastic standards. Good study habits have been emphasized in order to prepare the cadet for the challenge he will encounter in the Upper School. The members of the faculty have been sympa- thetic in assisting all cadets with their personal difficulties. This has been achieved through the counseling program. The Military Department has stressed leader- ship, obedience and punctuality. Rotation of rank has made it possible for various cadets to ad- vance. A full military program parallel to that of the Senior School has been built under capable military guidance. ln Athletics each cadet has been encouraged to participate actively in his chosen sport. A wide variety of sports has been offered. ln the Junior School the cadet may select any of the The Junior School following seasonal athletic activities: football, soccer, and swimming given in the Fall. ln the Winter he may select swimming or basketball. During the Spring season the cadets may play baseball, lacrosse or tennis. There has always been group activities for those cadets not inter- ested in any of the above. Modern facilities con- sisting of a well-equipped gymnasium, swimming pool and athletic field make our athletic periods attractive. When weather conditions permitted the cadets have enioyed skiing, coasting and ice skating. For the first time religious instruction has been presented during one free period per week to fulfill the students' religious needs. The Sunday chapel service has been faithfully attended by the cadets of the Junior School. The advantages derived from a good social life have not been overlooked. ln this facet, many birthday parties have been given in the Grill. There have been Christmas, Thanksgiving and Easter parties enioyed by all cadets. Dancing Class has been very popular and participation has been encouraged. Cadets have attended the various proms held at the Academy. Our Variety show was a decided success, which has offered a challenge to future classes. First steps have been taken in re-establishing the Junior School Library, and although the reading has been con- fined chiefiy to newspapers, magazines and a limited selection of books the interest has not lagged. Our objective this year has been to develop a well-integrated cadet, who will be able to adiust himself to the ever-changing needs of modern living. A MRS. PHYLLIS GIBBONS MRS.
