He was followed by Mr. Bradford M. King- man, who served from 1943 to 1953. Under the excellent lead-ership of Mr. Kingman, the school prospered. At the time he came, there was a sixty-three thousand dollar mortgage. Un gradua- tion day in 1945, two years later, the mortgage was burned and building plans were put under way. Some of the achievements of the building program are a dormitory extension in 1941-8, the Philipls Memorial Gymnasium in 1911-9, the headmasterls house in 1950, improvements and addi- tions to the junior school in 1951, and a new workshop-garage building, driveway, and tennis courts in 1950. Mr. Peter A. Schwartz is the new headmaster, following Mr. Kingman, and we wish him a successful, long and pleasant stay here. Pembroke-Country Day School has always maintained a high academic standard and is always striving to improve its record. The majority of the graduates have made outstanding records in leading colleges and universities throughout the nation. The school has been accredited by the University of Missouri, the Missouri State Department of Education, and the North Central Asso- ciation. Athletics and extracurricular activities play a major role in campus life. The school has built up a fine athletic reputation, competing 1 - . X A with both lnter-scholastic and Catholic league teams. ln the last few years, school teams have brought home sever- c al state championships. Fixtra-curricular activities include two publications, the dramatic, science, and glee clubs. liy continuing to offer the hnest amilalilf- mlur-ational opportunities, the wli-:ol will continue to make great prwuii.-ss and maintain its fine reputa- ULD 'XJ Lmanv Bn.uMe.Nn-:A 0.05 1, THA O Ewiwfw, , , '-rM,,?'-PT'-,QV , - 'Ni 'xifmw- X qf'W:xf' .

After graduation from Princeton University, lVlr. Schwartz became assist- ant to the president of the university for one year, and later assistant to the Dean of the college and to the Dean of the faculty for three years. He then went to the Chicago Latin School for Boys as an English teacher, and during four years there, in addition, taught History and Latin. Mr. Schwartz has had adminis- trative experience, having been associ- ated with the Hun School in Princeton as assistant headmaster and imme- diately before coming to Pem-Day, having held the position as headmaster of the Allendale School of Rochester, New York, for five years. His record there showed marked progress for the school. Mr. Schwartz is married and has three children, a girl fourteen, and two boys aged twelve and ten. Often he may be seen walking around the campus with his dog uBar , a boxer. In the short time Mr. Schwartz has been here, he has made friends not only with the students, but also with the parents and alumni. That he greets all the students in the upper-school by name is a remarkable achievement. He is always ready with a smile and a friendly word about a current school event. Young, energetic, and sporting a Princeton crew hair cut, Mr. Schwartz may be seen at all Pem-Day athletic contests. He is very interested in all school activities and in student government. Believing in strong school spirit, he has initiated an honor exemption list whereby deserving students may be excused from ninth period study hall. He would like to teach classes, but as yet has not found the opportunity. His talks in assemblies are inspiring to the student body as are his weekly readings from the Bible. Mr. Schwartz is striving to make each student's experience at Pem-Day an influence on future life by developing in him traits of leadership and character along with academic achievement. We are very fortunate to have Peter A. Schwartz as headmaster of Pembroke-Country Day. M 10 -- me .f4c!mini5frafi0lft The Administration of this school is probably one of the most important parts of it. Anyone who has tried to run even the smallest budget and make ends meet knows how difficult a job it really is Therefore it is hard for us to sa ' how much ts. y 5 time and effort Hal Jones, Business Manager, has put into this school. Mr. Jones, who is an alumnus of this school, is also a graduate of Harvard University. Besides running the finances of the school, Mr. Jones has a keen interest in athletics. His aid to Mr. Ryan in developing this year7s varsity baseball team was invaluable. An extremely important fixture in Mr. Jones's office is Mrs. Dorothy Baker, his secretary. Her untiring efforts are much appreciated. Mrs. Harold Jones, who received her the University of Missouri, ably assist Mr. duties, Mrs. Barnes is one of the faculty It is necessary to say thanks to these in solving our frequent problems.

Second only to Helzberg in Calculus . . . . Railroad Richn, as lie was affectionately tabbed by his senior classmates, hailed originally from Oklahoma . . . . He still retains the down-to-earth log-cabin type leadership qualities which are synonymous with the c'0kies,,. .. . . . Noted for his respectful attitude toward the Hilltop .... President of His Senior Class, Pem-Day owes Richie Wagner a sincere vote of thanks for his conscientious efforts on behalf of his school. Irv Hockaday-is a close second for the party boy title, and second to n-o one in the 'cactivitiesv department .... It seems that Irv was so busy that he just couldn,t find time for his Physics work or for attending American History classes . . .R . The two words which most ajected the life of I. 0. were charge it .... His inimitable Clarence Darrowv style of speaking swayed many a meeting through pure Hockaday logic .... T he school is deeply in debt to Irv for learning the real value of the bluf. Chuck Singleton-has several claims to fame, among which are his Baseball batting average and his pre-New-Year's-Eve party .... in addition to these dual accomplishments, Charlie has been a general stabilizing influence on the class . . . g. though generally rather quiet, Chuck can be boisterous at the drop of a hat .... though never too interested in the social aspect of life, ':Sing has had many secret admirers .... this is proved by his frequent top-notch dates to Sunset and Barstow' socials. -20.. wmv I F A Y 5 - .

Evert Asjes-Evert, the flying Dutchman with the uRed Capv, has followed the philosophy that it is better to be seen and not heard .... although a bit reserved by nature, Ev has endeared himself to the faculty by his quiet outlook -on school life .... throughout his school life teachers have looked to him for advice and assistance .... lVevie's', two ambitions in life are to own a brewery in Lexington and to do something wonderful for PEMBROKE-COUNTRY DAY SCHOOL FOR BOYS. A Larry Blumenthal-always in a stew about his grades in general and his history grades in particular .... an artist to whom much may be attributed in the success of recent RAIDERS and publications' dances .... never in a bad mood, but always a smile and a good word .... has a good tenor voice which has been greatly appreciated in the glee club the last four years and which, 'linked with a natural stage ability, has gained him operetta fame ' .... a' varsity baseball manager .... a good man to have around.

M iles goes on the assumption that ucleanliness is next to godlinessn .... His radical experiments with the structure of the .French language have caused heated controversy among scholars the world over . . . .

His undying ejorts to make everyone have at rosy outlook similar to his own made many a gathering a roaring success .... His endless tales of lapan and General MacArthur were interesting for a time, but the men and boys who went through high school with Bill soon became tired of them ....

Bruce Fane - Booze has a strange way of calming down irate police officers that goes unparalleled in school history .... he credits his mastery of the French language to his association with Mr. Nault, who strangely enough refuses to take the credit ....

Senior sponsored dances, Senior endorsement and complete support of the Student Council and Pep Club have promoted spirit within the student body. Senior interest and participation in the Southwest Youth Court and Council has resulted in the bettering of inter-school relations Scholastic achievement is synonymous with the accomplishments of the class of 754- The posting f o the honor role always indicated a large majority of seniors making honor Grades. As a result of this exceptional work, Pem-Day will be well represented at the nationis leading cozlleges come September. Seniors were leaders on the athletic field as well as in the classroom. In what does the success of the class of '54 lie? There is one possible answer. Throughout the year, the twenty-eight boys worked together as a unit. They approached their problems logically and with the interests of the entire student body in the mind of each senior. In this manner the Senior Class met each challenge. Both Pem-Day and the Senior Class will feel a deep loss when, on June 12, diplomas are handed out and the members of the class of 19541 go forth to become leaders in their communities.

Headmaster of the middle school since 1938, mathematics teacher, and head coach in all athletic events, Ralph Wediir is assisted by a faculty consisting of Thelma Griffith, Hazel Packer, Clarine Poor, Ambrose Sembrat, Joseph dePeyster, Edward Steffen, Henry Cady, Edwin Ryan, and John Hogan. Also assisting are William Foster, Joseph Scalet, Philip Dundas, and Vernon Chamberlin from the upper school staff. Courses in English, social studies, mathematics, art, manual training, science, speech, and music, with Latin as an elective in the eighth grade round out h t e curriculum. The middle school curriculum is planned to prepare the student for further academic achievement in the upper school, The athletic program of the middle school is widely varied to prepare each student for future varsity sports. This program includes intra-mural sports in the sixth and seventh grades. The eighth grade participates in inter-scholastic football and the seventh and eighth individually in inter-scholastic baseball. The track season is highlighted by an all-school field day and an annual junior rela s. Y, Middle schoolers seldom come in contact with the upper school students during the week since 7 their lunch periods differ. They do, however, show a great interest in upper school extracurricular activities and are in force at athletic events and plays. They also provide the u er school 'th pp W1 entertainment at their annual Christmas and Easter programs. The class groups of the middle school are each limited to twenty boys. This gives each boy a chance for individual attention which is conducive to a happy school experience and to prepare for future schooling years. -42 -. 894114 P6142 From left: Cope Shellhorn Ed Rose Bill Sheidley Gates Ripley Ernest Neighbor Back row, from left Dick Wood Bob Menees Front row, from 4 left Bill Wallace Pat Woolley Dick Sutton Standing, from Jack Kroh John Hockaday John Coleman Bud Baker Seated Bill Barrows - 43 W le CZQMA gI 6l,0!Q From left: Ed Lawrence Jim Latimer Taylor Embry Dick Arms John Groves Bill Miller From left: Dick Helzberg John Starrett Jim Baxter John Windsor Cordon Stuck From left: Bill O'Riordan Myron Stutzman Keith Smith Joel Rose Pete Starr ..4.4... .SJQUQIQ gmfe Seated on wall from left: I Chuck Fratcher Victor Buhler Mike Blumenthal Bill Buckingham Standing, from left: Byron Cohen Sparkie Boling From left: Dave Trusty Townie Stubbs Peter Schwartz, Jr. Joaquin Suarez Brett Schroeder Rusty Wilson Back row, from lef John Hoffman Rocky Lane Brud Jones Ed Hogueland Front row, from Doug Petersen Wayne Nichols George Hohl ,4,5... fr le lflllif 1 an ,SMA 9001610 From left: Cole Phillips Bill Staggs Peter Wuertz Steven Quarles Joe Sandman Drane Wilkinson Mike Wilkin Kent Stockton From left: Tom Hall .lay McDonald Jerry Miller Mike Hyde Bill Parzybok Tom Hamilton .lack Johnson Paul Lee From left: Ricky Garfinkle Charles Bush Don Garrity George Bunting Paul Greenlease Bill Foster Seated, from left David Gillaspie Peter Easton H46.- sw gina Je Standing, from left: Jett Gorman G Bob Arm s A Fired Embry Mickey Fleming Seated: Jim Heryer Mike Lemoine siii'c2,QL5d Standing, rear: Jack Rollert Front row: Jay Nigro Marsh Long Joe Loomis David Neighbors Jack Miller Tom McMillan At rear, from left: Glen Speakman Don Schwartz Front row: Paul Whitney .lohn Truog Gary Schmidt Gary Wright ..47-- - . ,Jl01u'llL gmt Standing, from left Ned Laird Spunky Hannay John Howard Corky Katz Seated: Blaine Hibbard Mickey Lerber Seated, from left: Grant Renne Bill Prugh John Gretsinger Paul O'Brien Johnny Uhlman Steve Parzybok Fred Wolferman Standing: Kenneth Stormteltz Seated on wall, from left: Jimmy Christopher Norman Dalton Arthur Benson Chip Campbell Standing: Tom Garrity Bill Elder Pat Curran - 43 .. -gC'NY' -1 unior .SZAOOZZ The Junior School Builtling The junior school, consisting of the first through third grades and the kindergarten, is situated on the west end of the campus, The excellent faculty, who are fully appreciated by everyone, con- sists of Geraldine C. Laughlin, kindergarten, Lottie Dietrich, first grade, lnez Holter, second grade, Virginia Greef Walker, third grade, and John Hogan, physical education and athletics instructor. In the summer of 1951, the junior school building was modernized. The new facilities are spac- ious class rooms, added as wings to the original building, and a newly paved combination play- ground and tennis courts for all-weather usage. The playground is now surrounded by a seven-foot Cyclone fence, erected in 1952, which serves the double purpose df protection for the children and beautification. The junior scholars also have the usual swings and sand lot. If the weather is bad, they may be seen being led by Mr. Hogan, swinging their bags of gym clothing, going over to the gymnasium. Field Day was the highlight of the athletic schedule for all junior school boys, and fine performances were turned in by all participants. The students, have a very interesting introduction to education while in the junior school. Interesting projects are carried on throughout the year and are enjoyed by all the pupils. The classes a're small, limited to an enrollment of eighteen, which enables the teacher to give each boy a thorough knowledge of the elementary subjects and activties. g . 1 - , ,. V, M .

However, they compiled a 2 - 5 - 1 record under these adverse conditions. To top off all the injuries, there is the fact that the 1953 Raider team was the most inexperienced one ever fielded by the school, due to the short season last year. -rr Pem-Day- 6, Redemptorist-13 ....

Pem-Day traveled to Olathe for game number two, and came hack with loss number two, as the Raiders met a powerful aggregation of smooth-running, sharp- passing Eagles who were destined to be undefeated and champs of the N. E. K. League. Olathe Com- pletely dominated the contest, and all-in-all it was a gloomy night, especially since Pete Hawes and Bob Wallace, top quarterbacks, were lost for the season as a result of injuries.

The Raiders came into this game against their great rivals from across the state line a big underdog, as the Stags were undefeated, and the Raiders had yet to taste victory. The Raiders' defense led by Meigs Jone Stags scoreless, while Toppy Parsons tallied twice, once on a 46-yard jaunt and again on an 82-yard scamper from scrimmage. Irv Hockaday, Raider end, threw two key blocks to shake Parsons loose. Bud Adel played a great game in the quarterback slot. The contest was played before a crowd of approximately 3,000 on the Raider field. Pem-Day - 14, Center - 14 .... The week the Raiders traveled to the field of the Center Yellowjackets, the two teams played to a deadlock. The statistics of the game were just as even as the score. Parsons scored 'twice for P. C.

Kdlflqlflei After an unusually good dinner in Schuyler Ashley House, the football banquet guests adjourn- ed to the auditorium for the biggest part of the evening. Mr. Campbell took charge of the evening and after the usual welcome to the fathers intro- duced Bill Grigsby, sportscaster for KCTY. Mr. Grigsby, realizing that the season had not been as good as was anticipated endeavored to boost the morale by stressing the importance of getting something out of athletics other than just winning. l Mr. Byan, the freshman-sophomore coach, was next intro- duced. After his short talk on a successful season the awards were made. The evening was culminated by the awarding of the Varsity and Bn team letters and the announcing of the trophy winners for this year. The backfield trophy went to Toppy Parsons, whose effective efforts on offense as well as defense m.ore than earned him the honor. Meigs Jones, a junior, was awarded the linemangs trophy for his work at center offensively and linebacker defensively. Meigs and Toppy, from the first day of practice, were the two team members who showed the most hustle, drive, team spirit and will-to-win. - It was a direct result of this known fact that Meigs was chosen captain of next yea'r's squad by the major letter winners. The 753 Raiders feel that this year has been the building year, that next year, under the leadership of Meigs Jones, ably so t assisted by Brook Bartlett, Kirk O'Dell, Kite Singleton and others, P. C. D. will have one of the best teams in its history. -65- I I JUNIOR VARSITY First row, left to right: Gary Cortes, Tommy Thompson, Eddie Bartlett, Harold Kirkpatrick, David Putney, Herb Harris, Coach Ryan. .

The UBB teamis excellent record, 13 won and 2 lost, indicates that the future of basketball at P. C.D. is bright. Mr. Ryan, varsity coach, then awarded eight boys varsity letters. The boys who received awards are: Buddy Adel, sophomore, Bryant Barnes, sophomore, Jimmie Engel, senior, Meigs Jones, jun- ior, Bob Markham, sophomore, Vfarren McCarty, junior, Phil McClanahan, senior, and Ricky Morehouse, senior. Bryant Barnes received the Court Club Award, which is given to the player who shows the most team play, courage, and dependability during the season. Ricky Morehouse was honored by being elected tearn captain for the season, while Warren McCarty was elected captain for next year. Mr. Ryan said, before the season started, that he did not think the team would win half its games. He was proved wrong, however, as the Varsity posted the good record of 13 wins, 9 losses. ln View of the team's youth and inexperience, the record is extremely good. Following the Varsity awards a short speech was made by Mr. John Lance, who was Mr. Ryarfs basketball coach at Kansas State Teachers College. Mr. Campbell then called the enjoyable even- ing to a close. A74- - . .

Rather, this year's baseball team deserves much more than MIKE SELBERT that. Far more than this authorls pen can express. Catcher t Besides turning in the best baseball record in the history of the school, coaches Edlflyan and Hal Jones have succeeded in developing a large enough reserve to support teams for two or three years to come. lndeed, the fact that eight varsity lettermen, includ- ing a host of freshmen and eighth grade boys, all seasoned by summer 3 and 2 hall, will be avail- ED RYAN Coach able next year, leaves hint of even more brilliant seasons in the ' ' future. lt is needless to say that of course the four graduating h u if seniors will be sorely missed. Though all did. much to keep the spirit up, Pete Hawes, captain of the team, kept the will to 'win utmost in the minds of the team members. The loss of his 'trusty bat in the number four spot will prove difficult to mend. As a defense player, Hawes was tops, though that hole wonlt be as difficult to fill as his batting position. Mike Selbert, the Raider backstop, will of course be very much missed by the coaching staff. His knowledge of baseball will be extremely hard to replace. Not only will the loss of Jim Adler mean the loss of a sharp defensive outfielder, but also the loss of the noisiest boy at Back row, left to right: Hal Jones lassistant coachi, Dave Smith, Harold Kirkpatrick, Rowland Nofsinger, Ed Ryan lhead coachi.

Truthfully, Jim can be named the squad chatterbox. The utility man of this yearls team was certainly Charlie Singleton. Both at second base and in the outfield, his glove was sharp at all times. lt is safe to say that every time a pitch was thrown, Chuck was ready. On the first of April the 1954 baseball season started. The teamls B WALLACE Hrst foe was Hogan of theCatholic league. Coach Ed Ryan, hampered Bqmfieid, Pitcher by the fact thatbcold weather had robiied him of many much needed practices, pulled senior Pete Hawes out of his regular 'third base posi- tion and had him pitch against the Rams. Though the game was pitch- ed in 50 degree tem.perature, Hawes was not bothered. He allowed no hits, struck out fourteen, walked seven, and kept his opponents from scoring all afternoon. Though the fielders had little chance to handle the ball, lim Adler made a Hne play on a near Texas-leaguer in the third inning. On the offensive side, P-em-Day managed to collect only six hits off the Hogan right hander, but by taking advantage of all possible breaks, had forced across four runs by the final inning. BUZY KATZ Infield The next week the Raiders played host to an obviously superior North Kansas City team. Junior ,lohn Berkshire went for Pem-Day, yielding six hits and five runs to the foreign team. Afterithe fifth John was replaced by Bob Wallace, who finished, allowing two hits and one run. Defensively, the team looked good, going the seven innings 'with- out an error. At bat, the Raiders hit well but failed to hit at the critical moments. They got eight hits but left eight men stranded on base. After a six-day rest the Raiders went out after their second win against Hogan. The game was almost identical with the first engage- ment. P. C. D. picked up seven hits and obtained four runs. On April 241 Pem-Day went to St. Louis to face John Burroughs. Junior Bob Wallace went the distance for the Raiders, pitching a very brilliant five-hitter. For the first time the defensive support was bad with five errors charged to our squad. The Raider bats rang out for eight hits CHUCK SINGLETON A and chalked up six runs. Buzy Katz had Infield, Outfield a good day, getting three for four at the plate. On the twenty-eighth of April, Pem- Dav traveled to Rockhurst, where in their best game of the year they heat the fu- ture Catholic league champs, seven to nothing. Bob Vilallace was the master on the mound for the Raiders. yielding three hits. three walks and striking out four. Wiallace, Katz, Hawes, and Vilindsor shar- JIM ADLER y JOHN BERKSHIRE Outfield' Catcher, Pitcher DAVE SMITH lnfielcl ROWLAND NOFSINGER Outfielder ed the greater part of the thirteen hits collected off four Hawklet hurlers. Charlie Singleton's fifth inning triple batted in two runs to win the first of two games with Park Hill on May third. Berkshire pitched a good six-hitter as P. C. D. coasted to its fifth win against one defeat. The following day, once more behind the no-hit pitching of Pete Hawes, the Red Raiders again defeated Park Hill in a slugfesl in which thirty-five Pem-Day batsmen came to the plate as opposed to twenty-one for Park Hill. Final score-17 to 1. To start the district tournament, Pem-Day met Hogan and defeated them 21 to 7. Wallace had little trouble in getting his third win. Al Compton, who scored thrice this year, chalks up another in this game against Hogan. His batting average, .333, is indicative of his natural ability. Al will certainly be of much help next year. Buzy Katz, P. C. D.'s slugging first base- man, pastes the ball for another of his many singles. Buzy, after becoming the team's hottest batsman at the beginning of the year, cooled down to a .435 average by the end ot the season. On the tenth of May, Lillis succumbed 'to the Raider steamroller, 9 to 4. Hawes, Wallace, Nof- sing-er, and Kirkpatrick led the twelve-hit attack with two hits apiece. Berkshire got the win as well as a beautiful three-run homer in the seventh. P. C. Dfs bad day came on May 12 in the second game of the district tournament. The team fell to Rockhurst, 6 to 1. ln the last game of the year Pem-Day, shell-shocked by their defeat the preceding day, failed to get the base hits that enable teams to win games. The game ended, three to two in favor of Lillis, when the Irish came from behind in the top of the last inning. HAROLD KIRKPATRICK Infield, Outfield DUKE WINDSOR, Outfield ALLEN coMPToN HAL JQNE5 Ouffield Assistant Coach Allen Compton reaches first base safely. Chuck Singleton, a senior this year, rounds first in the Hogan game. Charlie, whose prowess is more noted in the field than at bat, finished the season with a .293 batting average. Junior Bob Wallace, pictured here as the ball leaves his hand, spent most of his time this year on the field. As a pitcher Bob won three games while los- ing only one, and led all the other pitch- ers with a total of 33 strikeouts. Not only a pitcher, Bob's prowess at the- plate is shown by his batting average of .393, third best on the team. He scored' a total of 16 runs, a figure which was gained by no other team member. Through the dust one can barely see- Captain Pete Hawes scoring one of the' twelve runs he scored this season.

I X Ricky Morehouse, the fastest Class B sprinter in Missouri, was the high point man for the season. 1954 was a record-breaking year for the Pembroke Red Raiders as far as track and field accomplishments were con- cerned. All in all, the P.C.D. thinclads set four school marks and tied one, set four district records and one state record. Ricky Morehouse, captain of the 1954 track squad, accounted singlehandedly for three of these and helped out with a fourth. At the State Indoor, Morehouse broadjumped 21 feet 6 inches to break the school record set by Paul Hunt in 1952, and later at the William Jewell Invitational, broke his own record with a leap of 21 feet, 'Fw inches. At the Warrensburg district meet, Ricky lowered three of Hunt's records, running the 100 in 10.2 and the 220 in 22.5, which is a school record also, and broad- jumping 21 feet, 4 inches. Toppy Parsons was also under the old record in the 220 with a time of 22.6. On Field Day Ricky switched to the 440, having run it only twice before this year, and set a new school record of 51.7. The 880 relay team, composed of Phil McClanahan, Whit Ruby, Toppy Parsons and Morehouse, set a new district record at Warrensburg. They also set a new school andstate record by winning that event at the state Outdoor in the time of 1:33.1. Sophomore Bob Markham tied the school record in the high jump when he jumped 5 feet, 9 inches to win the high jump at Vllilliam Jewell. The Raider track team was undefeated in dual, triangular, and quadrangular meets this year. They got second at the William Jewell Invitational, fourth at the Pittsburg Relays, ran away with the Warrenburg district meet, and got second in both the State Indoor and Outdoor. This is indeed a team of which the school can be proud. :ll l Standing, from left: Guth Carroll, Pete Edmiston, George Kroh, Wayne Campbell Ccoachb, .lack Henry, IQ Kim Wilson, Bob Liepsner, Stewart Gilmore.

This year the 880 relay ran nine times and won seven of them. They lost at the State Indoor mainly due to lack of experience. At the Pittsburg Relays they would certainly have won, but they were placed in the slow heat and won by over 40 yards, Morehouse coasting in. At Wiilliam Jewell this added experience came in to good advantage in winning by five yards, beating Brookfield, who had beaten them in the Indoor. At Warrensburg, the P.C.D. thinclads ran the opposition into the ground in winning by 25 yards to set a new district record. Even the state record did not stand for more than a week longer as the Raiders set a new one of 1233.1 at the State Uutdoor. The 380 rela was a balanced aggregation of four fine runners. Phil McClanahan, the Raideris Y hard running lead-off man, usually picked up the lead. At Vvilliam Jewell, however, this Job was left . . . . . . Q . v Uh to Whit Ruby, who ran second, and he did a fine job. When the competition was especially toug , this task was left to the third man, Toppy Parsons, and he picked up the lead several times. At the Outdoor, though the other three ran fine races, it was Morehouse who had to pull ahead in the last H30 yards to win. .. 89 - .11 L- - - --- - , f..':aa.x,4!lJ-'Lfn Lx-f,.:,.u:Lc:y:.f-A.:-,za 2. -' ' 1,f1.-:.1:.:-vLi- ,. Meiqs Jones, Terry Lerner, Barton Blond, Bryon? Barnes. The Raider golf team this year was greatly hampered by lack of experience. With only one returning letterman, Terry Lerner, the Raiders met def-eat in their first three matches. Bryant Barnes was medalist in the first match against St. Agnes with a 36. ln the second match with Rockhurst the Raiders again found themselves on the short end of the scoring, as opposing linksmen easily defeated the P. C. D. golfers. Terry Lerner was medalist with a 40. ln the third and last encounter against St. Agnes, lVleigs Jones and Bryant Barnes tied for low honors with 4l's, but the Raiders again went down in defeat. The future is bright, however, for none of the team are seniors and thus there will be live re- turning lettermen next year. ..Q0-. OCCQI' For the first time in Pem-Dayis history a soccer team was fielded in competition with another school. This sport has been played at our school for the last few years as a part of the physical educa- tion program for those boys who don't participate in football during the fall. The team was ably coached by ,lohn Hogan who was an All-American soccer player in 1948 and is now playing for the 4'Ford-Lapini' team of Kansas City. He has created much enthusiasm over the last few years and the boys throughout the season enjoyed the game more and more as their skill in han- dling the ball increased. Our games were both with Wentworth Military Academy of Lexington, Missouri. For the first game, we traveled up to their school and even though they out-matched us in experience, having played other schools, the soccer team managed to win 1-0. John Hart was the star of this game, scoring the only goal, but also the defensive play of Pem-Day's back line kept Wentworth's offense always out of danger of scoring against us. The team considered this a great victory since many of their players came from Latin-American countries where the sport is played all the time. The second game with Wentworth was played at Pem-Day with professional referees. This was slightly different in that it was played according to regulation soccer rules which made the game more difficult since we had never played by these rules. One great asset was that our team was now bolstered by the addition of Jim Adler who had played the game for the last two years at our school. He helped our team considerably by scoring our winning and only goal, and also by keeping the ball constantly in scoring position. Other boys who also deserve mention are Richard Wagner, Owen McPherson and J im Wornall who played our forwards, Peter Hyde, W. L. Murphy and Charles Luger who were our half-backs, Jerry Hamilton and John Snyder who played our goalies. After these two games many of the players wanted to schedule a game with Kemper Military Academ but since the winter was fast approaching and also because of scheduling difficulties the yo plan didn't succeed. i Even though we only had two games with other schools, we also had many intramural games which provided a good deal of fun and also a great amount of enthusiasm for this new sport that is sweeping our Midwest. lt is now the hope that in the coming years soccer will become a minor sport at Pem-Day like tennis and golf.

An unusually large turnout this year was cut down to about twenty boys by a pre-season tournament. Returning lettermen were John Snyder, first singles, Charles Luger, second singles, John Hart, Charles Helzberg, Jim Whittier, Norruth Graham, and Norton Starr. Bud Adel, third singles, Bill Staples, who played with Hart, lrv Hockaday, who played with Helzberg, and Jim Goar, who played with Whittier, were new net men. Hart and Staples alternated with Hockaday and Helzberg in first doubles, while GO31' and Whittier played third doubles. ln the two Shawnee-Mission matches, which had six doubles each, Bill Benson, Norruth Graham, Jeff Porter, Kirk Polson, John TenBrook, Norton Starr, and Bert Schmidt alternated in the remaining doubles positions. This yearis team lost twice to a very powerful Shawnee-lVlission team, 6-2 and 6-3 with all doubles losing both times. They were more successful against Rockhurst, winning 4-2 thejirst match and tying to an improved team the second match, 3-3. Olathe fell twice before the powerful Raider team, 6-0 and 4-2. The two meetings with the weak North Kansas City team were successful, both being 5-O. That 'totaled up to a fine record of live wins, two losses, and one tie, with Adel and Luger remaining undefeated and Snyder losing one match. John Elliott and Bill Sullivan were the always busy managers and did an excellent job.

The history of student government at Pem-Day is a long one. Some form of student government has been enjoyed by the students here since the merger of Pembroke and Country Day in 1923. During the last few years, however, student government has really come y into its own. PETE HAWES ln 1950 the Student Council, the executive group which is the main governing body, established a working form of student supervised study halls. These study halls were satisfactory for some time, but in the last two years they have declined in quality until, at the end of the 1952-1953 school year, when Mr. Kingman was succeeded by Mr. Schwartz, it was deemed better to discontinue the study halls run by the students until the time when a better form of organizing them and making them more effective could be put into use. President, First Semester Also at the end of last year, a new procedure for the election of Student Council Representatives was suggested. Up until that time, the elections had been held once a year, at the beginning of the school year. This meant that the seniors on the Council, who are bound to be the most capable men in the class, will possibly, due to other activities, become negligent in their Work on the Student Council. Also a method of passing around the responsibility was desired in order to accustom more students to the privileges and responsibilities of self-government. Therefore a plan for electing a new Student Council each semester was voted on and passed by the student body. This plan was to go into effect in the school year 1953-1954. The first semester Student Council this year was composed of: seniors Pete Hawes, Irv Hockaday, and Gene Breyer: juniors John Kitchen and Warren McCarty, sophomore Bryant Barnes, and freshman Ed Bartlett. Pete Hawes, the senior with the highest number of popular votes, was elected president, with Irv Hockaday vice-president and Gene Dreyer secretary-treasurer.

Council, perhaps the most able in the history of the school, was the target of much criticism during the first semester. This is probably for two reasons. First, the members of the Council were all engaged in other activities, the publications and sports. Therefore they were not able to devote the amount of time necessary to a good Student Council. Second, and perhaps most important, the members were mainly concerned with finding a workable method of returning student government to its former, more influential status. The elimination of the Student Court along with the student-run study halls focused more attention on the Student Council, also. This pre-occupation with an issue which did not readily lend itsell to placement in the general interest of the student body was why the first semester Council was so severely criticized. Several assemblies were held for the purpose of letting the Council show what it had done, but the seeming inactivity of the representatives led to the nomination, in the first of the second semester, a partially new slate of candidates. Elected for the second semester were: seniors Jim Adler, Charlie Singleton, and Steve Pakulag juniors Brook Bartlett and Warren McCarty, sophomore Rowland Nofsingerg and freshman Herbie Harris. Jim Adler was elected president. The second semester Council set right in to the job of making the Student Council a more popular and powerful organization. It arranged for several outside speak- ers to visit the school and had over a half dozen movies after -HM ADLER lunch for the enjoyment of the student body. lt sponsored a very popular ping-pong contest, a pool tournament and other intramural activities. By far its most important contribution, however, was the organization of a working Pep Club, handled by the senior class for the first semester and by the juniors for the second. Thus the senior class has experience in the fall to start having Pep Rallies and raising spirit. The Council the second semester also amended the Constitution of Student Govern- ment at P. C. D. to facilitate the elections. The big issue, however, that of restoring student-run study halls and, perhaps. an honor exam system, is still to be resolved. This yearis Councils have kept interest up in this question and it remains now for the 754-755 Councils to find a way of bringing President, Second Semester liack these traditions to Pem-Day. -s 107 QffQI I'lfL6lIfl 3 Top row, left to right: Richie Wagner, Jimmie Engel, Toppy Parsons, Mike Selbert, Meigs Jones, Jim A,dler, Pete Hawes, Bob Markham, Ed Haussermann, John Snyder, Kite Singleton, Jim Porter, Bud- dy Adel, Bryant Barnes.

Each year, the best of Pem-Day's athletes, in addition to winning their varsity letters, are still further honored by a letter of invitation to become a member of their schoolls main athletic organi- zation-the Letterman's Club. This club is composed of boys who have been awarded a major letter in any one of the four major sports such as football, basketball, baseball, and track. The varsity white sweater with the major letter and service stripes on it is symbolic both of the bovis membership on the club and also of his contribution to the school on the various athletic fields. The clubls principal duties are to appoint cheerleaders, to sponsor at least one dance, and to help maintain high standards of spirit and loyalty in the school, in addition to good sportsmanship on the athletic fields. This year's highlight was the homecoming ceremony at halftime of the Rockhurst football game and the very successful dance immediately after the game. Both were sponsored by this yearls club. The homecoming queen and her attendants were selected by the club, and the presentation of the flowers and the crowning of the queen provided the spectators with a highly interesting half-time show. President of the club this year was Gene Dreyer, and Peter Hawes held the office of secretary- treasurer. Special recognition is to be given this year to Bill Nickel. He is the only member of this year's club who has won a major letter in each of his four years of high school. -IOS- Left to right: Tom Weover, Jonathon Scott, Rob Springer, Myron Stutzmon, Ernest Neighbor, Bill Miller, Vol Petrus, Stewart Gillmor. jk? FCAQ5 fl 6L This year, Pem-Day has had the pleasure of listening several times to its own orchestra. This musical group, organized and conducted by Henry L. Cady, Middle School music teacher, is com- posed of nine members. These musicians are: Tom Weaver, freshman, violin, Jonathan Scott, freshman, fiuteg Myron Stutzman, eighth grade, cello, three clarinetists: Miles Cohen, senior, Bill Miller, eighth grade, and Ernest Neighbor, eighth grade, Val Petrus, freshman, french horn, Stewart Gillmor, sophomore, cornet, and Rob Springer, sophomore, piano. These boys devote much of their time to their instruments, both at home and at school. Many have played their instruments for more than seven years Mr. Cady has directted the orchestra in several recitals before the school body, while some of the boys have played individually in assembly. The orchestra has also been invited to play at the Nettleton Home. Mr. Cady foresees a bright future for his group. Several new members are expected and he may count on the full support of the student body next year. MR.

QQ lfl The Pembroke-Country Day School Clee Club has completed one of its most successful seasons, a statement given added significance by the tradition of fine entertainment which it has always maintained. The singers started the season with an assembly presentation of a group of college fight songs and alma maters. The choristers then bent their efforts to the organization of three Christmas programs which were given in the two weeks before Christmas. The first of these was a group of carols sung over the public address system on the Plaza, the second the annual Christ- mas pageant given for the students, parents and friends in the auditorium, and last, a radio broad- cast of selected seasonal numbers. After Christmas vacation the club prepared a Television program which was telecast over station KCTY-TV. The glee club then started work on their annual operetta which is put on in cooperation with Sunset Hill. The work, Gilbert and Sullivan's delightful comic opera, Mlolanthew, was most success- fully received When, on March twenty-sixth and twenty-seventh, the singers of the two schools per- formed what was, perhaps, the best production of its kind ever witnessed at Pem-Day. ln the spotlight as the romantic lead, Rowland Nofsinger starred as the shepard lad, Strephon, whose plighted love formed the basis of the plot. The object of his affection was Phyllis, played by Dora Lu Barnes, who was also the cause of heartsickness of the members of the House of Peers of Great Britain, who threw themselves at her feet en masse. They pleaded their collective case before her guardian, the Loral Chancellor, played by Rich Wagner. Thinking Strephon untrue, Phyllis narrows the field to Lords Tolloller and Montararat, two of the rich lords, played by Larry Blumenthal and Jim Porter. Bob Wallace and Duke Windsor alternated in the role of Private Willis. From Sunset, Patt Mitchell and Mary Brown shared the title role of Iolanthe, Streph.on's mother and a member of a fairy band. Other girls in leading parts were Sally Scott and Charlotte Wor- nall as the Fairy Queen, Carol Abernathy and Debbie Mills as Celia, Norma Nardyz and Virginia Wornall as Lelia, and Mary Lou McCollum and Penny Lane as Fleta. The rest of the cast were fairies and peers played by the choral groups from the two schools. After the operetta the singers presented a program of sea chanties at the field day box lunch. They sang at the final assembly and wound up the year with selections at commencement. Officers of the glee club were Rich Wagner, Irv Hockaday, and Charlie Singleton. van 4 . ,.,-WM ., MW., ies X A aw AWA 'HA ds M Q., Aw. ,www .www M LZ-1 1 f- ' 5 ' ,. , ' Z 1 , ry 4,54 -' ,Qi 'f Left to right: Frank Birmingham, Marc Gurwith, Jeff Porter, Peter Hyde, W.

This club, which is open only to freshmen and sophomores, since the juniors and seniors have an opportunity to study science in Chemistry and Physics, performs the function of interesting the boys in scientific acti- vities. Under the direction of Mr. Kevin Madden, the popular science teacher, the group of seven boys meets every Thursday and Friday' in the Science lab. This year the Club is made up of s-even freshmen. 'lhey are W. L. Murphy, Frank Birmingham, Garrett Cole, Stanford Yukon, Marc Gurwith, Peter Hyde, and David Putney. The procedure which the club follows is one of lecture and experimentation During the first part of the year Mr. Madden lectures on chemistry, during which several simple experiments are done, principles of physics, including machines and light, and astronomy. During the latter part f h o t e year, the boys study radio and electronics. Magazine articles which interest the boys and other topics of scientific interest are also discussed. Several of the boys are also carrying on projects on their own in which they are especially inter- ested. W. L. Murphy is working on a jet engine, and Stanford Yukon has built an electronic logic machine with which he won first prize and a trip to Chicago at the recent Science Fair. The Science Club is useful in two ways. It gives the boys a first-hand look at some of the principles which they will be studying in high school and college courses, and it also builds up for them a store of practical information of which they can make use the rest of their lives. The Science Club has become extremely popular during the last few years, and promises to increase in popularity during the next years. It is indeed one of the most interesting activities offered to freshmen and sophomores at ,Perm-Day. A -114- S D. is ir ti- 311 BH IC ist re nrt nd 31'- gic he UP he use to Stuart., THE HILLTOP, the monthly student newspaper, has in the year l953-l954l reached an all-time high in student en- joyment. THE HILLTOP is also very popular tx ith the girls' schools, Sunset rliil and Barstow. lt has as faculty ad- visers Mrs. Barnes and Mr. Thomas, head of the English department. How- ever, these advisers serve only as cen- sors and technical helpers and leave all other matters up to the student staff, thus making THE HILLTOP a truly stu- dent-run publication. Under the excel- QRV HQCKADAY lent leadership of co-editors Pete Hawes PETE HAWE5 and lrv Hockaday, the staff put out eight issues plus the bonus HILLFLOP. These ten-page issues are composed of varied columns designed to interest the greatest number of people. The columns include the alumni articles, occasional high grade humor articles, and the popular sports columns, which cover the activities of all the schoolis teams. Probably the most pope ular of these columns is the carefully checked and authorized Snooper, in which can be learned a great deal about the social lives of the upper school boys and their girls. The censor-free HILLFLOP is probably the most looked-forward-to of all the nine issues. The tinal HILLTOP stood out as one of the most interesting issues ever published because of the great number of pictures covering the yearis activities. Other highlights of the year were the HILLTOP Poll and the Publications Dance, co-sponsored with the RAIDER. This year the poll, which covers Barstow, Sunset Hill, and Pem-Day, was more enthusiastically received than ever before. One of the reasons for its success was the solemn promise given by Pete Hawes and Irv Hockaday that absolutely no ballot box tampering would be tolerated.

This yearis very successful Business Staff, under the direction of Jim Adler and Gene Dreyer, set a new record of expanding the advertising to cover for- ty-eight lucky concerns. Other ad sell- ers and bill collectors were John Snyder, Jack Henry, and George Kroh. More- over, the Business Staff did an outstand- ing job in selling three hundred sub- scriptions to Pem-Day students. That is the largest amount of subscriptions ever sold to the P. C. D. student body. On the Circulation Staff, Bill Curtis GENE DREYER and Whit Ruby did an excellent job of handing out the HILLTOPS at Sunset and Barstow The policy, which was started in recent years, of having a complete taff of reporters in the middle school to write their own page for the paper, was continued this year John Hockaday head ed the middle school staff which kept the rest of the school posted on the middle school activities Assisting Pete Hawes and Irv Hockaday on the Editorial Staff were Jim Porter feature editor Brook Bartlett, Warren McCarty, and Norton Starr, associate editors Mike Selbert Snooper editor Ricky More-house, photography editor, and countless reporters.

Nault ' Peier Sfory f The 1954 RAIDER is the ninth yearbook ever put out at Pembroke-Country Day School. ln 1945 Hugh Francis, Bob Himmelberger, ,lim Wade, and Joe Wolf put out the first RAIDE-R. In view of the fact that the 745 RAIDER was the first, they did a fine job. The size and quality of the book has increased since then until, at the present time, the staff of the 754 RAIDER, in all modesty, feels that it is presenting one of the best high-school yearbooks in the country. The publishing of an annual is a bit confusing to those who have not had a hand in it. There is a complexity of problems the solving of which requires a high degree of co-ordination between the members of the staff. The editorial and photographic staffs, especially, must work closely 'to- gether since their efforts make up the majority of the subject matter of the book. The first hurdle to be cleared in the publishing of a yearbook is the making out of a dummy. The dummy is the master chart by which the staffs put the book together. There is a page in the dummy coresponding to each page in the book, and on each page in the dummy the position, sub- ject matter, and exact size of the pictures on that page are Written in. As the pictures are taken, they are put together in the COrreCt Combinations and sent to the engraver. The engraver makes the halftones by which the pictures are printed. These halftones are then sent to the printer, along with captions and articles. The printer sets the type, assembles it with the halftones into page forms, and prints the book. Thus the editorial staff has several functions: te make out the dummy, select appropriate pictures, send them to the engraver, make out captions, write articles, send the whole combination to the printer, and supervise the printing in general. The Editor-in-Chief of the 754 RAIDER, Phil lVlcClanahan, who was ably assisted by Richie Wagner and Chuck Singleton, Assistant Editors, has done an admirable job in putting out this book. Phil's hard Work and ingenious ideas have gone far toward making this book what it is. Ricky Morehouse, the Photography Editor, and his assistant, Rick Lyman, have provided much of the technical and artistic talent which went into the makeup of the RAIDER. The Art Staff, headed by Larrv Blumenthal, de- serves much credit for its fine Work, especially on the cover of this book.

The staff of the 754 RAIDER has kept before it several ideas which it believes have made the 754 RAIDER the best yearbook ever published at Pem-Day. The first of these is that the RAIDER is a book put out for the enjoyment of the student body as a whole. We have therefore tried to make the subject matter interesting to everyone, and not merely to small groups who are engaged in individual activities. The second is the belief that large pictures make a yearbook more lively and interesting. This switch from many small pictures may best be seen in the Sports section, where we have selected the best action shots avail- able and devoted a large share of the space to them. The third idea is that the articles are intended to be in- formative and interesting and are not merely to fill space. We believe that we have succeeded to a large extent in making the printed matter more sprightly and informative than it has been in the past. The staff Wishes to express its most sincere 'thanks to Mr Paul Robinson who as printer and photographer, has been invaluable in the publishing of this book Mr Nault our faculty adviser has devoted much of his time and ingenuity to the RAIDER and vie want to thank him also With out the support of our advertisers, the RAIDER would have been impossible to put out we would ap preciate the readers, patronizing them as much as possible Standing, from left: John Elliott, Toppy Parsons, Arnold Garfunkel Steve Pakula lrvine Hockatlay Richard Hamilton, Pete Hoffstot, Duncan Edmiston, John Kitchen Charles Luger Miles Cohen John Welsh, Mike Selbert, Mike Carmichael, Tony Suarez Kim Wilson Seated: Jim Porter, Charles Singleton fAssistant Editorj, Phil McClanahan CEditor in Chietj Richie Wag ner QAssistant Editorl, Larry Blumenthal, Ricky Morehouse On floor Phil Jr i Under the able direction of Bruce Fane, the '54 RAIDER business staff has proved most elificient in ob- taining ads.

Due to the increased cost of putting out this superior book, the business staff has been hard pressed to make ends meet, but due to the perseverance of everyone concerned, the RAIDER came through with flying colors.
