Teaching is an exacting profession which demands dedication to human- ity. ln dedicating this P01111 to Ernest XV. Gilles- pie we pay tribute to one of the finest examples of this profession.

Crosbie, '00 had been a part of the Exeter scene since he entered the junior class in 1897. Mr. Crosbie, member of the English Department for 42 years, was always patient and kind with his students. He enjoyed the outdoors immensely, and shared his enjoyment with his students as coach, for many years, of excellent rifle and golf teams. Mr. Williams expressed the feelings of all who knew Mr. Crosbie when he told the students in chapel: I never heard man or boy say an unkind thing about Mike Crosbie. You simply couldn't do it. iw! ww yi A il 75 YGEARS. . AI limi 1!AAfv' Mqemf iv? ,mmwe2QsgmQy 5626000 Gorham Hall - One of two dormi- tories of the l880's. Now the Squam- scott Hotel. 1880 - The first PIZAN. The third Academy Building was only eight years old. Only two years earlier, 1878, the ambitious ideas and hopes of three students had materialized into the founding of the Exoffizm. In that same year Exeter and Andover began their rivalry in football and baseball. lixeter was then a small school, the era of extensive growth and improvement was still fifteen years in the future. There were but 204 students, and only 43 of them seniors. The first Perm was shrouded in secrecy and anonymity. For some time there had been a demand for something more than a faculty catalogue. In 1880 three students decided to meet the demand. In the salutatory of this first edition they wrote, It is the lack of such a medium which has suggested, or as some insidious minds prefer, instigated the Perm. Perhaps it is signincant to note that to some lixonians today the Perm is more of an instigation than anything else. Outwardly the first Penn was a small sixty-four page paper- bound volume. lnternally it was something different. It was not, however, as the editors modestly asserted, merely an attempt, and nothing more. Since then the Perm has changed in innu- merable ways, but the editors' aims have always remained the same-to provide A faithful reflector of the literary, athletic, and social relations of her students. During the last seventy- five years the connotations and relative importance of the three words 'literary, athletic, and social' have changed and developed as lixeter has changed and developed. The aims have not always been realized, but at least they have not changed. There were no articles in the Hrst Perm, except for the salutatory, and no photographs. The art work and layout were only adequate, there were only statistics. Certainly it was a superficial reflection of lixeter, and yet it was a beginning. It is as the beginning of something that we must consider the first Pcan. Even in 1880 there were already many extra-curricu- lar activities. The most emphasis, except for athletics and de- bating, was on the various eating clubs, to be specific there was A. ll. Towles, Gorham, Titcomb's and Abbot Hall. The success of the first was not as complete as might warrant a second attempt, yet a number have been found with the requisite 'gall' for so doing. So began the salutatory in the 1881 Penn. Although sarcastic and exaggerated, this state- ment clearly illustrated one important characteristic of all Perm boards. Perm editors have always been accused of ridiculous temerity, spending their year putting out an annual which the rest of the class may examine, criticize, and then store away in an old bookcase where it will gather only dust. This edition was certainly not one of the more inspired Pefzmt There were, on the other hand, a few changes in material. The PI..-X. Walking Club, which had barely managed to appear in the inaugural Perm, succumbed to conspicuous desires of the leisure class, and folded. In keeping with the fashions of the day it was soon replaced by the Bicycle Club. lifverything in the second Perm cannot be condemned, there were two innovations which were good. On the cover was printed the Greek word TTAIAN. In contrast to this rather idealistic revival of humanism was the placement of the adver- tising section in the front of the book. This was not the culmination of an artistic desire, but an attempt to increase the advertising appeal. It must never be overlooked that, as the Perm developed, part of the tradition-more than the editors would like to recognize-concerned finance, relatively indepen- dent finance. After having been suppressed for two consecutive years by the faculty, the F6071 reappeared in 1884. Uniortunately the two-year faculty censorship had done little for the Perm. Little can be said for the '84 annual except-well, it managed to escape faculty suppression. The 1885 P5071 was an improvement. But there still seemed a lack of real enthusiasm and ambition. This lack was further emphasized by the appearance of the fifth volume in 1886, an annual which was very much like the '85 one. Friction and resentment between faculty and students were customary then. The Perm of '86 greets you-all but the faculty. lt is question- able whether such a remark is in good taste and should appear in the salutatory of any yearbook. But on the other hand such a comment was a true reflection of the school. lfxcept for this sentence and a rather amusing dedication- lt now becomes necessary to dedicate this volume, and we do dedicate it to VVe, Us, 84 Co., in due appreciation of our multiplied talents and sterling qualitiesf'-the '86 Penn was just another issue. P61111 editors have always been accused of vanity, gross exaggeration of their importance and their abilities. Whether this is fair criticism is irrelevant, what is important is the fact that P01111 editors have always been considered a rather peculiar breed of Iixonians. lt is perhaps interesting to mite that the editors them- selves do not usually dislike this classification. The dedication of the '87 Perm, To Our Best Girls, was also quite significant, although no one can say for sure of what. The first photograph crcr to appear in thc PIQAN - 'I hc E.ro11i11u board of 1887. 1884 - The first known formal picture of the PICAN board. A drawing on the first page depicted an Iixonian surrounded by obnoxious store-owners clamoring for him to pay all sorts of bills. At the bottom of the page was written 'fAt the Iind of the Termf, CAs it was in the beginning, is now, and always will be.j The first photograph in the Perm also appeared in this edition. There is nothing to be said for the '88 Perm. And as for the '89 and '90 editions, they were not published. We have been unable to learn why. After ten years of not very stimulating Pefms, four of which were never released, the 1891 edition was remarkable. Witlicmut writing it had been impossible for the Penn editors to depict anything more than the external and superficial side of lixeter life. The '91 Perm took a step to correct this situation. Class histories began with the '91 Penn. This was an innova- tion which was to become a permanent feature, although its form was to change. W'hatever the title-History, Class Memoirs, or Class lfditorial-this feature has always been one of the most interesting and certainly the most profound. The outstanding feature of the '91 Perm was the historical section. The second part of this was concerned with the town of Exeter and its relationship to the school. It is certain that the town of lixeter, without Phillips Exeter Academy, would not be what it now is, and that many of the pleasures of the P.E.A. student would not be found if the Academy were situated elsewhere. One cannot help wondering if the editors believed what they had written. This was not the reflection of a romantic, unreal situation. Difficult as it is for us to realize, there were htm ties of friendship between the school and the town. 'fThe duty of singing the Penn now devolves upon us, and it is with great ioy that we enter upon the task of writing our class history. But the smaller 1892 Perm could not measure up to its predecessor. One quotation is, however, worth noting. A typical senior was quoted as saying Qand certainly believingj No narrow limitation circumscribe his future worth, Ere the time of graduation he's prepared to run the earth. If this was not an accurate reflection, then human nature has changed beyond recognition. For a I'ci111 which nearly every other man in the school Cexcept the three editors who of course displayed the usual optimismj thought would be a complete failure, the '93 edition was pleasingly artistic and amusing. Although secret societies had been abolished, a new organization of very dubious nature sprang up. It was l.A MAFIA, its motto, Stolen waters are sweet, and bread eaten in secret is pleasant. The editors of the '94 P01111 made one important change, the editorial copy was increased. Rah, rah, rah, and the '95 Pearl appeared with the cover design a pennant in school colors. Many students used to live in boarding house rooms such as this one. The Academy Football Team of 1882 lines up for a game. . .

But everything was not a step backwardsg one new addition, the POI'-l'0Il7'7'i Ca humor sectionb was superb. The one year lapse in the P01111 fit was not published in 18965 didn't seem to have inspired any great ambitions of the five editors of the '97 I'cfavr1. lformals and senior biographies added a great deal to the completeness of this Pearl. The most significant section of this annual was only one page-a biographical sketch of Harlan Page Amen, who had come back to Exeter as Principal in 1895. Could anyone have then imagined the influence of this man who was, to a great degree. responsible for transforming the Academy and setting it on the path to greatness? Of all thc f,L'i7ll.l' the '98 edition xi as perhaps the most conservative. There is a conflict in yearbook writing between a desire to be as accurate as possible and a hope to be amusing and interesting. This conflict is hard to resolve, and the editors of the '98 Perm did not succeed. XVith Hue venite pueri ut viri sitisf' a gold clock impressed upon a violent red cover, the '99 Penn made its auspicious appearance. Even with this it is dubious whether this Pean was indicative of anything more than the imminent arrival of a new century. The editors of this volume, while determining to follow the beaten path of their predecessors, have resolved not to be beaten in the path which they have followed. This one sentence from the preface to the 1900 Perm expresses the policy of almost all P61171 Boards. ln spite of the weather, the fates, and the Faculty, the seventeenth volume of the Perm bobs up serenely. And here's a smile for all who have helped us, and a grin for all who have hindered. The smile is brief and Hitting, but- watch us grin. I'ei111 Boards have always enioyed their positions, and part of their positions is the inherent, inviolable right and pleasure to grin at the rest of the school. To the rest ofthe school the editors speak a foreign language of ems, half-tones, and line-cuts. lt is significant to notice the senior editorial. Perhaps it has relevance this year. f'The class of 1901 has not been an extraordinary one in any way. 'VVe hope we have done some lasting good to the school, and we know it has done lasting good to us. There are very few experiences in life which can give us as much fl'llC satisfaction as our course at lflxeter has given, is giving, and will give. lt is no wonder that the '01 Perm is what it is, one of the best. Some of the interest and ideas of the executive board of the '01 Penn must have been transmitted to its successor ,... The P61111 of 1902 will be found much like the Pealfr of previous years, and yet we trust that it has an individu- ality of its own. Klaudy gold, daring red, and a photograph marked the cover of the '03 Peim. XYhether this was artistic or even attractive is questionable, and unfortunately this was almost all that was even distinctive Cgood or badl. The high and mature quality of the '04 Perm can easily be seen when one reads the senior editorial. . . . XVhen we came here, we little realized what 1 The Smile That XVon't Come Off.

We cannot measure how much we have gained from these years, we cannot begin to express all the old school has done for us. In return for all this, if we cannot do anything more, we can, and will cherish for her, deep in our heart of hearts, a loyal and abiding love. If this is not the true reflection of the thoughts and emotions towards the school of some mature senior, then what is? It is out of this conflict between gaiety and seriousness that meaning comes, and it is gratifying to examine the '04 Perm where this balance was so well maintained. ln conjunction with the superb editorial writing came another advancement: sports stories. They have always been a headache to any editor, but they are necessary if the Perm is to be a complete reflection. The most amusing page in the '04 Perm, particularly to this year's executives, contained only a small portrait and a short poem: The Smile Thar W07l,f Come Off. The Pcmfs out, at last l'm free, No more of this hard work for meg And so upon my face you see The Smile That VVon't Colne Cfl. The '05 Penn was not unusual, but the 1906 Perm was the strangest ever. With a green suede cover, a colored frontispiece, and colored divisors, and the text printed in sepia, this Perm was novel. VVe hope the book will accomplish its object, that it will be a reflection of and not on the school life for the past year. The criticism has always been that yearbook writing is a glori- fled form of a chronological table, and in most instances this has been true. lt is always pleasant to remember only the successes and joys of Exeter life. Yet it is important and even necessary to remember the failures and disappointments. The '07 Perm deserves credit if it has helped any Exonian to reflect on his life at the Academy by presenting a reflection of that life. The '08 Perm was an increase in size, yet there seemed to be little originality to distinguish this Perm from so many others. The influence of '08 and '09 was very great, too great. It is important yet discouraging to perceive that, although there were short stories on the four class football teams, there were few articles on other organizations. It is amusing to peruse one of the poems-The Rbime of the B7l.Vi7IC5.Y Mnvmger. A student has just been caught by the Business Manager and has paid for his Perm. Then: He went like one who hath been stunned, And is of sense forlorn, A sadder and a wiser man He rose the morrow morn. There seems to have been a mould for all Peam from 1908 to 1912, the results were almost the same, except for KNOCKS, the humor section. But if there were no enlightening changes in layout, editorial, art, or photography there were some pecu- liar ones in content. In 1909 the Tenstickstoit Club appeared. What the club did has now become a mystery. The editors of the 1913 Penn stated their hopes rather well. Anticipation, realization, and reflection are three emotions com- mon to everyone . . . Reflection, to treat on the third emotion, ., f'4' gay:- occupies a somewhat less important position, but it is concerning this same reflection that the Perm is issued. Through the utiliza- tion of a brown cover, this Perm could at least appear different from the last few. lf only the editors had continued to make changes in the stilted writing, in the regimented layout and spent more time on the humor section, this Perm could have been a real break with the poorer editions which preceded it. The quality of the 1914 Perm was only fair-due to the lack of writing, good art and photography-but it was presented in a very dignified and attractive manner. But this annual needed an element of realism, which in yearbook writing usually means a trend towards an analytical outlook. Perhaps the most significant feature of this Penn was the sixty-two page ad section. Since the start of the century the ad section had been increasing. This enabled the editors to produce a more dignified book and Cineidentally of coursej to make a small profit. The danger in any yearbook is that the financial will predominate and hinder the creativity. The next three Pefms-1915, 1916, 1917-were all very much alike, and what is worse, very much like the last ten. Faetually, they were quite complete. But as a refiection of the school year they were not very realistic or perceptive. And this was due to the excessive conservatism. Yet there are articles in the humor section which are still amusing and which still reflect the viewpoint of a good many Exonians. Of these three Peam' the '17 was the best. There were a few indications of what was to come in the 1918 edition. Per- haps this was all that could be expected from a board of eight of whom five resigned. Resignation has always been a problem of the Perm, and also the Exowiaw. No matter how carefully the senior executive board chooses its successors, mistakes are inevitable. 'No one can tell whether a certain individual will respond to the challenge and responsibility. To Those Exonians Who Have Dedicated Their Lives To The Great Causef, More of a tribute than this simple dedication was the content of the 1918 Perm, the best at that time and still one of the best in every respect. As early as May, 1917, we needed little urging to convince us of the need for a different Perm. The former Penm were good, but somehow or other a stereotyped form has been developed, just as if the point of perfection had been reached. The 1918 P61171 will have every- thing the former Pefms have had, PLUS: larger page size, con- forming to college standard, rearrangement of the entire volume into six separate 'books', six color inserts, a sixteen page section in sepia of school buildings, war time features, double the usual number of snapshots, and the PEAL. These last two changes are the most signincant. Photography was at that time an unexploited field as far as the Perm was concerned.

There were too many pictures on each page, and they were too small, but it was a great advance. In the 1918 Penn the editors had expressed their wish that future boards would not use their Penn as the basis for another stereotyped form. The 1919 Peavz was surprisingly successful in heeding this advice. Although it held the Academy record for coming out late, this was due to a sincere desire to have this Perm a war memorial. A great deal of time and resources were spent to procure a picture of every Exonian who was killed in the war. It is gratifying and encouraging to see the effort which was put into this memorial. One can only hope that it was not in vain. At least the editors did not think it was. The artistic use of color cuts and divisors was very attractive. In fact, there are many interesting things in this annual. The religious life at Exeter is a thing which is not spoken of-not much discussed-not much given vent to, by the members of the school, and still it is the backbone of the school, and there is little which is not religious at the bottom. It is interesting that such an idea should have found its way into yearbook writing. It is the occasional emergence of such ideas which gives an indication of what perceptive and consequently more realistic Writing can be. For the first time there was a story on the Exeter Chapter of Cum Laude. While Cum Laude may not deserve the importance which many of its members would like to think, nonetheless it is indicative of something more than diligence and easy courses. It was time that this society, the only organization which explicitly represents the most important side of Exeter, was recognized in the Pean. The editors apologized for the curtailment of the Peril. They necdn't have. Cartoons, photographs, and stories, well chosen and well arranged combined to make this section very amusing, and on a surprisingly high plane too. Ye Wonderful Towne of Exeter? . After a few boring introductory remarks this story continues with a quote from the Bulletin- It contains about 5,000 inhabitants, has a valuable Public Library, an endowed seminary for girls, good public schools, wide streets shaded by beautiful elms, and many other attractions which make it a desirable place of residence. It has long been known for the refinement and culture of its citizens, and for the liberality and public spirit of its citizens . . . etc. The most erudite editorial was a discussion of osculation- its advantages and disadvantages. Witli black and gold predominating, the 1920 Perm was published. lt was not up to the standard of the last two. The greatest retrogression was in the editorial department. The editorials this year are shorter, perhaps through the laziness of the authors, or perhaps because, through experience, we have come The Pool Room Association of 1893.

A AT AKA, 1887 - The End of the Term - not unlike today, to realize that the average reader of the Penn does not read the editorials, but merely looks at them. They are a mere sum- mary of what evervone knows, by careful perusal of our other contemporary publications. It is true that photographs are what interest the majority of Exonians. Editorials are not read by everybody. This is partially due to the unoriginality of the editors in displaying what everyone knows.', Two things in this annual caught our attention. We pass them on, still mystified. The spring term ended on june 29. Thirty-eight seniors listed Yale as their college choice while only thirty-one chose' Harvard. In contrast to the cynical attitudes of the editors of the '20 annual was the product of the next year's board. Here is a record of a class, of a year, faulty and incomplete, but suflicient- ly suggestive, we hope, that the reader may find here both a history and a prophecy. Only in ourselves can an adequate record of ourselves be found, and only in our future will it be made complete . . . The record of our past is one of golden opportunities. The future, we hope, will reveal that we have used them wisely. There is in this writing remarkable maturity. This was re- flected in some of the other writing, especially the upper class editorial. The departure of the Senior Class customarily leaves a great void in the school, and the uppers are usually shoved ahead to fill that void. Generally the Seniors leave with mis- givings as to the ability of these Uppers to fill the vacant place . . . You have in you, hidden somewhere or other, the power to make next year's Senior Class one of the best . . . Next year will be one of the best and most pleasant years of your life . . . This is more than false modesty or a desire to pay a backhanded compliment. It seems no coincidence that so many of the more worth while clubs were founded in the last two years of the class of '21, Largely through the efforts of Mr. Cushwa, the Lantern Club was started in the spring of 1920 to stimulate interest in literature. Science began to march on in May of 1921 when the Scientific Society was founded. With black and gold again, the 1922 Perm was published. This Peavz could not equal the high standards of some of the preceding ones, but it was a thoroughly creditable and dignified annual. Our only regret is that the PEAL was discontinued. This was an amusing feature and very necessary, since inhibitions and conformity so often overshadowed any attempts at original writing. The PEAL had not been ridiculous, proof of this are the feature pages, which constitute a very large part of the Penn today. The 1923 Penn was not in black and gold, but it's question- able whether there were many improvements, yet there was one e Lamont .-Xrt Gallery as a dining hall. The Mandolin Club. real addition: a ten page section of scenics of the school. One page towards the end of the book caught our eyes. It was Rudyard Kipling's IF.', Not a bad choice for the end of a year- book. There is a street, almost an alley, of shops, a colorful bazaar, crowded with moving, mill- ing masses. lfakirs cry their wares in the center of the square, near a fountain where goats drink and darkskinned ragamufI'ins paddle. From be- hind counters, shopkeepers wheedle and caiole the passerby. Y ou are attracted finally, by an oddly informed mirror and allow it to be press- ed upon you. When you examine it, the image reflected is your own, yet altered greatly. You have lost weight, gained color, force. The makers of the mirror will assure you that, though the polish may become finger-printed and the carved back chipped, the gay, bantering, youthful procession which Hows through the mirror will never change, the Exeter scenes will always attract. This was the forward to the 1924 edition, and perhaps the most creative writing in any Penn. The senior editorial also reflected maturity, originality, and quality. Be- fore we are drawn into the stream of college life, there either to be whirled or lulled into this same blindness to our opportunities, we shall acknowledge our indebtedness to lffxeter. Our debt is paid, we are free-to forget. The 1925 PC1111 was a step backward. Unfortu- nately the next three Penny continued this back- ward progress. At least they made no forward achievements. lt is with relief that we observe that through all this turmoil and uproar the Mandolin Club managed to keep its head above water. One thing of a more serious nature, how- ever, is worth citing- The school is an old library where one reads of former heroes and time-worn traditions, the school is a busy mar- ket-place where strangers pass and friends are greeted, the school is a quiet abbey where serious-faced workers perform their devotions, the school is a playground where only shouts of mirth and laughter are heard, the school is a well-drilled army, used to obedience and the monotony of a scheduled life, the school is a turbulent mob, united only in their applause of a successful team. NVe have, reader, endeavored to mix in our picture of a year's life at lixeter the colors of light and the colors of shadow, the views of repose and the views of activity. This is worth reflection . . . Because of a few external changes the '29 Penn was an improvement. Changes in type, stronger and more glossy paper, and better screening for the photographs, and better en- graving combined to make this PC7177 more at- tractive. Although the fiftieth anniversary had not been well marked by the 1930 Penn fa very dull and unimaginative onej, the hundred and fiftieth anniversary of the Acadeiuy received slightly better treatment in the 1931 Penn. The history of the Phillips Exeter Academy is closely con- nected with that of our country. Both were founded on the same principles of freedom and toleration . . . So it is with mingled feelings of hope and fear we respectfully dedicate this book to the Phillips Exeter Academy-not only to its illustrious past but also to the promise of a glorious future. The 1932 l ea11 was a dignified rhapsody in silver and black. There was a definite atmos- phere of grim austerity-perhaps a reflection of the depression. In fact the times were reflected in the senior editorial. We cannot afford to waste our precious years in college groping blindly and uncertainly along the walls of knowledge. To underestimate the importance of making this choice early is to invite failure. The dedication of the '33 Penn is very signifi- cant, because it shows a remarkable calmness in the time of depression. To: UE. Wells Kerr, Dean of the Academy, who cares for the big things and for the little thingsg and because he cares, the Academy continues a place of order and of strength. Strict conservatism was in vogue in '3-f. Magistro probatissimo, and the dedication to Mr. Hatch continued. For the benefit of the small minority of lixonians who could not re- member enough liatin to translate the dedica- tion, a special insert in linglish was included. TVe would like to quote from the senior class editorial. We have for several years enjoyed the benefits of the gift of Mr. Harkness and the work of Doctor Perry and the other faculty members. For it was during the depression that Exeter made such progress. More buildings were constructed, almost one-third more facul- ty members were appointed. Conventional as the book is, we hope that we have presented the facts in an accurate and understandable way. This preface to the '36 Perm stated precisely what the editors succeeded in presenting. And yet its best feature was not conventional. Four full-page scenies, each oppo- site another page empty but for the words Truth, Reverence, Knowledge, and Culture. The Academic Procession headed by Principal Lewis Perry at the liflth Anniversary celebration. Next year will mark the l75th Aimiversary of the Academy. Outdoor dancing at Commencement. Edward Harkness. This section takes on added meaning when one realizes that the '36 P01111 was dedicated to lfdward Stephen Harkness. Color was employed throughout the '37 Perm for the first time in several years. The skillful use of red lines. dark back- grounds in the photographs. and white space made for an attrac- tive annual. The '37 l'ci111 was another large book. liven more clubs had been added to l'fxeter's long list: the Outing Club, Radio Society. and the Ski Club. l.ikc every other I't'.1l1 of this period it had a spectacular cover. Simplicity dominated the '38 I'UiIll,' the over-all impression was quite good. A great deal of the writing was done well and with thought. 'fDuring our several years at Exeter, we, the graduating class, have met with many good things, success, happiness, and scholastic attainment. Only once in a while did we encounter a bad thing, that was generally the product of the imagination . . . These moments have quickly passed, and with our many activities and studies we may say that we have been happy in our work, far too busy to notice even the passing of time. lffxeter life can be so full that the present, future, and the past all merge together. Color was not used, but an increase in candids, and the effective use of black lines and white space made this Perm artistic. The country came out of the depression, and the P01111 came out of a rut, an editorial rut. The executive board of the '39 Penn called their effort an 'experimental guinea pigf for later editors. By observing its reception they may learn how lCxeter students prefer to read about themselves-lightly or factually. Probably a combination of the two. humor and serious facts. is what can have the most meaning. lt was encouraging that the editors of the '39 Penn tried to get out of this editorial rut. The senior editorial was written in the first person, and although not unusually profound. interesting. The article on the Senior Council is more perceptive. The Senior Council, however, accomplishes little as a student body. but Tfxeter docs not pre- tend to have student government and never will. The layout of this annual was a change. This must have satisfied the school, which was beginning to complain bitterly The construction of Phillips llall for the llarkness Plan. Xxfllfh the completion of the Thompson Science Building there were no more chemistry laboritories such as this one. that the P00117 had been the same for the last fifty years. There was a great deal of justification for this complaint, although it is true that no matter what any executive board changes, there will always be some who will not stop screeching. The 1939 Perm makes no pretense to perfec- tion, but it entertains hopes of beginning a happier tradi- tionf, It went a long way towards that tradition. The 1940 Perm was a disappointmentg it wasn't even a good imitation of the '39 annual, There are, however, two things worthy of mention. From the In Memoriam to Simeon Murch: He said little because he knew what to say. He expected the best from a boy and he got the bestg but he never expected more than a boy could give. All of us knew the integrity of Mr. Murchf' From the ln Memoriam to Mr. Harkness: But more than buildings, lectureships, medical centers, and charity funds services. There is thc story of a man. A world too often cynical may, find inspiration in a man of whom it may be said with all sincerity: 'He loved his fellow I11CI1.H7 It has been the good fortune of the Academy to be blessed with such people as these two men, one a faculty member, the other a benefactor. Rising printing and engraving costs because of the war hindered the 19-ll Perm, but nevertheless the layout was changed from a conservative style to a more modernistic one. The placement of the candids throughout the book was quite excellent. Perhaps this satisned the numerous complaints from members of the Senior Class that the Perm had been the same for over Hfty years. Probably not. 1942 was a year of change, both in the school and the Perm. Although the Class of 1942 has in itself differed little from others, some of the external events which occurred during its four years at Exeter have effected radically the outlook of its members. This history goes on to describe the coming of the war to America and what that meant to this class. The certainty of war, of course. had destroyed whatever individual aims most stu- dents had. Fraternities were abolished after graduation of the class of '42, To some, the passing of these societies has come as a shocking example of faculty interference in student affairsg to others, it represents a long overdue reform in the democratic structure of the school. lt seems likely that the latter view is closer to the truth. When fraternities were started, they were a necessity, for there were hardly any dormitories, the centers of student life. But since those days the school and its social structure had changed. Change marched on in 1943, although rising costs and wartime difficulties proved a hindrance. The Senior Coun- cil story is indicative of the restlessness of the Exeter scene. A new Council and a new constitution was the result of a reaction against what had come to be a mere steak-eating clique of boys. Un- fortunately it does not seem that the reaction was very successful. Since the dormitories had become more im- portant in lilxeter life, an article on each one was included in the '43 Penn. This gave the editors an opportunity to display their Hare for creative writing. For example the Abbot story- Perhaps one of the greatest tragedies of modern times is that Sigmund Freud was unable to observe any of the activities in Abbot Hall during the last year. One is inclined to feel that in this red-brick asylum, replete with every imaginable type of mental disorder, Sigmund would have found his ideal workshop. Higher labor costs, the tremendously in- creased prices of both copper and paper, sky- rocketing printing and engraving bills, the scarcity of photo materials, the discontinu- ance of advertising companies who have Govern- ment war contracts and no longer need to advertise, and the VVPB IWW paper consumption cut have all contributed toward making the issu- ance of publications in wartime a far more difficult task than in peacetime. Perhaps that is why the '44 Penn was not a very good one. Despite the relatively unartistic appearance of the '45 Penn it was in some respects quite excel- lent. The photography showed care in choosing subject matter, and the writing was often realistic and to the point. VVe would like to quote from the class memoirs of '45 certain interesting and significant passages. One morn- ing in the winter term, the Dean rose in chapel to explain the asthmatic tone of that morning's bell. Evidently the impossible had been accom- plished. The bell had been robbed of its clapper, and the chapel was being held by the grace of the ingenious ianitor who was wielding a sledge hammer on the bell. Dean Kerr pleaded elo- quently for the return of the clapper, tacitly admitting that the deed was a daring one. Then he blushed bright red and announced that no questions would be asked of the boy returning the clapper. The 1946 Perm was characterized by boldness in art, writing, and in photography. There was also a considerable element of wit and frivolity. Soon the class of '46 will be spread across the country, like the japanese beetle, through as- sorted colleges. The A. P. will be in the Army. To the faculty, we will be just another class- not good, not bad. But blessed by four years of an Exeter education, our well-trained intelli- gence must tell Us that we are the best class yet. Mr. Kesler leads a paper drive during VVorld War II.

They can all be characterized by splashes of color, use of bold type, catchy subtitles, large numbers of photographs, which were usually superb, and a relatively small number of ads. VVhile the art work was, in general, not very inspired. the writing was better. Not sophisticated, it was often very realistic. There was one great change. With the '48 edition the Supplement became a permanent feature. Before this innovation spring sports stories of one year had to be included in the Perm of the following year. The Supplement eliminated a rather absurd situation. Although these five Peam' were much alike, they reflected a great many interesting things about the Academy. ln 1948 the faculty announced that with the beginning of the next year, there would be no Latin requirement. ln the same year an electric-power failure resulted in a mass riot and Fxonians caused many dollars damage to town property. For this riot the movies and the Spring Dance were cancelled. In 1946, William G. Saltonstall was appointed to succeed Principal Lewis Perry. Wrote the editors of the '49 l'ea1e1, But who would be his successor? When Mr. Saltonstall was named, some of us thought that he had been kidnapped from the United States Senate to fill this position. The impressions of the '52, '53, and '54 P00715 are still in our minds. And they are very different impressions. The 1952 annual was an example of a book that was technically and mechanically perfect. The layout was rigid, conserva- tive, the writing was not particularly original. Only the photography reflected something out of the ordinary. And yet the finished product was a very respect- able, dignified, and complete annual. Nothing can be said in favor of the '53 Perm, it was one of the worst. The offset was very poorly done, even the binding was HOC acceptable. On the other hand, a great deal can he said for the '54 Perm, and particularly for the original art work which was unquestionably the most striking feature. The class editorial began Let this be a success story. The class of '54 was a suecessg the '54 Perm was also a success. And both left a firm imprint on their successors. And that brings us to 1955. It has been a long seventy-five years since an anonymous group of Exonians instigated the Perm. During those years the Academy has changed immensely, both tangibly and intangibly. The enrollment has increased from less than three hundred students in 1880 to over seven If Qtbi The chapel in the Third Acad- emy Building was not a great deal different from today. The present Academy tower is perhaps the greatest trademark of Exeter. hundred in 1955. The faculty has increased from six to over ninety. Buildings have been constructed, and there have been many other physical advances. In the four years that the members of the class of 1955 have been at Exeter the old Alumni Hall, once used as a dining hall, has been redecorated and converted into the Lamont Art Gallery. In response to a long demand and with the help of alumni contributions an artificial hockey rink was constructed and first used in 195 3. And even now there is talk, speculation. and planning for a new building for the music department, a building which would also contain space for an auditorium which the school so badly needs. Since the last years of the nineteenth century Exeter life has undergone some rather fundamental changes. Today there is much less emphasis on athletics than there was in 1880 or the early years of the twentieth century. Many more activities-or diversions as they are sometimes classified-are open to the Exonians of today, although school regulations are in general stricter. With the application of the Harkness Plan teaching methods and techniques have been altered and improved. Consid- erably more attention can be given to the Exeter student than was the case before the Harkness Plan. This fact becomes increas- ingly significant when one remembers that college enrollments are soaring while neither the facilities nor the teaching profession can effectively take the added strain. The more students the less .32 Q .. I 5 X fy 'I W! 1., A ills vii s Q 3 , -I-fr' ,iff r . I, Ah V if ' s A ks r 'a 0' , rl 1 K l 1 individual attention for each one. And while this may not affect the better students, it cannot but help be a detriment to those who are average or less than average. ln other xvays the scholastic program at lixeter has been examined and im- proved. Field courses, advanced placement tests, and revamping of many courses Cparticularly the math coursesj are the tangible results of this examination. And it is lilcely that there will be more changes in the near future. During the last seventy-five years the Penn has changed somewhat, as a tradition began and de- veloped. The organization has increased in size and probably in importance. Next to the Exolliml, it is the most important student activity. llut although the P01111 has undergone many changes- as a student organization and as a yearbook-the aims of the first editors have remained inviolate, something which other editors have tried to attain. There have been drifts towards realism, towards completeness, there have been drifts away from realism and away from completeness. More than once has the Peavl fallen into a stereo- typed pattern. But at other times originality, ambition, and perseverance have combined to produce remarkable yearboolcs. Perhaps in this year, the diamond anniversary of the Perm, it is justifiable to make the generalization that the Perm has progressed, that it is a song of triumph and not a wail of despair.

'L Senior Class Editorial 1,l,s7lY Tlllg. i'ft sxlliluurlltq J sf WY xx It is pleasant and comforting to remember only the joys and successes of our years at Exeter, but zt zs necessary not to forget the failures and the disappoint- ments. The history of the class of 1955 is the history of an average class. Every class likes to think that it is the best, that it is better than all previous ones. The class of '55 knew that it was not the best and that it was not as good as '54. At times it even began to doubt whether it was average. But because it realized its own limitations, the class of '55 may deserve more credit than it would otherwise receive. Academically the class of '55 was a failure, at least when compared with its predecessors. This was made painfully evident in the winter term of our senior year when only one senior received highest honors and the list of those elected to Cum Laude in the first election commanded little respect from anyone. What had happened to the class of '55? There must have been outstanding natural ability. But if there had been a great deal, it had been hindered somehow during four years at Exeter. Whether this stagnancy can be attributed more to this particular school than to the whole American educational tradition and system is doubtful. The fact remains that academically the class of '55 was more stagnant than usual. As far as athletics go, this class was not really a failure-as most of its members had expected. When Exeter lost, it made little difference-except to those immediately connected with the teams. When Exeter won, this also made little difference-except that everyone felt pleasantly surprised. There was an undeniable rift between the jocks and the intellectuals , but this conflict never came to a head. N efver came to a head-and in those words may be found much of the history of the class of 1955. There was unquestionably a general lack of dynamics, and this lack of dynamics was mainly responsible for many of the failures of the class of '5 5. There was no one personality, no one individual, or even group of individuals who was able to act as a leader-to guide, encourage, and direct the rest of the class. Controversy, diversity, and individuality were at a minimum-at least as far as the class was concerned. Among smaller groups within the class this was not the situation, but on the whole a general lethargic atmosphere prevailed. This is particularly discouraging when we remember that it is during the years at Exeter that our ideas, thoughts, ideals, and prejudices begin to crystallize. We can only hope that this general lack of dynamics has not seriously warped this Wi W- fa crystallization process. In contrast to this general lack of interest-at least interest which was never actively demonstrated-was the real interest shown by a small group, a peculiar collec- tion of names which c1'opped up again and again in athletics, academics, and especially in extracurricular activities. In many ways the history of the class of '55 is the history of two diametric groups. And this is in itself both good and bad. Although a small group of individ- uals was privileged to enjoy an unusually large number of opportunities to accept responsibilities, these individ- uals were at times ready to succumb to romantic ideas about their own importance and the insignificance of the rest of the class. For to this group-intellectual clique perhaps-the rest of the class was quite insignificant. And to the rest of the class this intellectual clique was equally distant. The history of the class is the history of one group very interested in practically anything and very concerned with applying that interest and a much larger group which did not seem to share the same interest and concern. Neither group was very interested in the other, each went its own separate way. This general lack of interest and dynamics was not completely harmful. In one way it was evidence of the success of the class of '55. It reflected a remarkable maturity, a maturity for which Exeter was mainly re- sponsible. When about one hundred boys of the class of '55 arrived at Exeter in the fall of 1951, this maturity was almost non-existent. Individualism, diversity, personality, and intelligence were submerged in a sea of conformity and cliques. Those preps who had been to the right private schools in New York City or Long Island were automatically in the cliques, even before they arrived in Exeter. Those who had lived in the right geographical areas often found admittance to these social cliques, but those who came from unknown schools and unknown areas didn't have a chance. They were discriminated against even before they arrived. It is in the breakdown of such discrimination, artificial distinctions, and in the growth of this maturity that the success of the class of '55 is hidden. During the next three years these artificial barriers be- gan to crack, crumble, and then fall as this maturity grew. In the spring of 1955 this maturity was in control. lndividuality was no longer feared or despised. Con- formity, wealth, and social prominence were minimized as distinctions began to be made on the basis of ability, intelligence, and personality. There were cliques, but they were more flexible and not founded on social ties. And because this maturity was in control, there were no open conflicts within the class. This was in direct 4 -T xW:iQi X. .. p contrast to the three senior classes which '55 had seen graduate. After four years-the first two long and the latter two short-what have been the effects of Exeter? What have been the effects of a society which is decidedly artificial but one which has been able to expose us to a great many new realities? The first two years appear quite insignificant and barren. But perhaps the foundations of the last two years lie hidden in that maze of mechanical and memory work, over-emphasis on athletics, cliques, and pleasant wasting of time which characterized our prep and lower years. If this is true, then they were not wasted but necessary and deserve recognition for show- ing us how time can pass without our accomplishing much. The last two years have been quite different from the first two. Maturity, respect and concern for intelligence and personality, success and failure have been the dominant characteristics. If the first two years were dormant if not insignificant, the last two have been significant and beneficial. As the winter term of our senior year drew to a close and college boards loomed up suddenly, some of us-perhaps most of us-began to think about next year, about college, and about the future. And this led us to thinking about the present, and then the past. We have witnessed some important changes in Exeter. A new Dean and tighter regulations, a school minister and what may be the beginning of an increased emphasis on religion, and a more egaliterian dormitory system. These have all had their effects-both on the class of '55 and the Exeter society which we leave behind. It is too early to tell what the effect on the Exeter society -will be, on the other hand it seems evident that these changes have not made much of an imprint on '55. At least the imprint is not yet recognizable. In the past four years we have met many people we have liked and would like to know better. We regret that there are some of them which we are not likely to see very much in the future. We have also met many people we have not liked, some we would rather not have known at all. But from these experiences we have learned. We have learned to get along with people we really don't like, to work with these people. And we have learned what we are looking for. At least we have begun to realize what personality is, what individualism and conformity mean, and what intellectual integrity entails. And K ff .Z -x xx X then we have begun to understand what friend- ship can mean. XVe have made many friends at Exeter - most of us have. By our senior year We have begun to know what We Want, what we like, and what we admire - and we have begun to see what the fulfillment of all this can mean. YVe have also, at other times, begun to realize what the frustration of this can mean. Let us return again to this process of crystal- lization, which is perhaps the most important phase of Exeter and an Exeter education. XVe have acquired respect for independence, intellect, disareement, and personality. VVC have also acquired disrespect for complete conformity, romanticism, and provincialism. ln a sense we have all become thoroughly indoctrinated with what might be classified as a liberal education - prep school style. Although there is a very deli- nite indoctrination, it is encouraging to see that the basic tenets of this indoctrination are of a very general and liberal nature themselves. The process of crystallization has only begun, what has ac- tually become entrenched in us is only a set of intellectual values, which we hope will form the basis for further crystallization during the next years at college. And there is one idea, one very important, significant, and optimistic idea which we hope has become a part of us. And that is a willing- ness, a desire to think. W'hen we came to Exeter we did not really want to think, because at times it Was disappointing, unpleasant, or unpopular. We may forget everything else we have learned at Exeter or from Exeter, but we hope that we will never lose this vital sense of the value of thought. 05.1 is ll ve. 1 E fig!

Taylor, Edgar, IVagner, Trafton, DI. Smith, Holderncss, Madden. Student Council SCENE: The Big Room. People are streaming in and milling around. There is much turmoil and confusion-until the judge rises to speak. Dressed in black robes, he gives an awesome sense of dignity as he waits for silence. 'LThe court will now hear the charge. Excitement runs through the crowd, and he has to bang the gavel. Order, order, this is a serious case. The charge-that the Student Council is a farce, nothing more than a student work organization. In some corners there is open indignation, in others cynical laughter is heard. The witness for the prosecution may present his case. A shady character, dressed in dirty tan pants with a mysterious article of printed matter stuffed in his coat pocket, gets up and begins a long tirade. L'Before I begin to discuss what this august society has done, I should like to examine its very nature. It is without doubt the most select debating society in the entire school. And the members are never elected for their forensic ability, or any other ability for that matter, but on the basis of popularity. 'LBut now, let us get to what the Council has actually done. I must admit that I am overwhelmed by all these janitorial duties. First, visiting teams no longer have to face the cold reality of Exeter alone. Now they are escorted to and fro by enterprising seniors who chalk up another credit on their Service Group record. This is fine, this is progress, but why call what is really a Student Service Group the Student Council? The chapel entertainments have been the best in my four years here, and the noise and rioting at the movies has been kept to a minimum. The Student Fund has made its goal. Now let us look at some of the other accomplishments of the Council. First the Council as 'the link' between the students and the faculty. This is so obviously a figment of the imagination that I won't even bother to delve into the sordid details. Secondly, the proposal to mix all classes in the dining halls. At the suggestion and prodding of the Exowiawz, the Council reluctantly discussed this idea and threw it out. lt was a change, and more important, it would have been an unpopular change. Now we come to senior counseling. This was an excellent idea, but it was not the Council's. Credit for progress here must be given to the authors of the Re-cfvfrluatiova Report and to the student-faculty committee which explored this question. f'Discipline. Well, no one knows just what will come from this discussion. Probably just more discussion. just like all the discussion on what the Council Could do. Nothing has really been decided. I don't wonder why. The Council has no powerg it never has. As long as it continues to pretend it has power and considers itself a council, it is nothing but a farce. It should be called 'The Student VVork Organizationl and its members should be chosen on the basis of the actual work they have done. Wfhat the Council thinks it is doing by recommending proposal after proposal -should be left to the EIOIIIATII or to the individual students themselves. It is but a farce. He sits downg outbursts of noise from the crowd. judge raps his gavel. 'LOrder, order. The speaker for the defense will now take the stand. A well dressed, clean-shaven individual strides to the stand. He is nervous. The Council is not a farceg it is something more than a student work organization. I will not dwell at length on what my distinguished oppo- nent has contemptuously designated 'ianitorial duties'. I do not deny that these iobs are of minor importance, but they have to be done. A student work organization could not supervise this work. Last year's student work program failed miserably because no one paid any respect to it. The Student Council commands more respect than is realized. There has to be an intermediary between the students and the fac- ulty. No matter how trite the work 'link' is, there must be one. Dis- cussion in the Council has not all been fruitless. A great deal of time was wasted, particularly since no one knew what the Council could do. I ask my adversary to examine the radio question, senior counseling, dis- cipline, and even the dining hall question again. I think he will find that all discussion was not pointless. The radio proposal, especially with the open letter to the faculty Csomething new this yearl. got more attention than it deserved. This was because the faculty felt that the Council was trying to do something more than gripe or carry out its 'janitorial dutiesf There can be no more tangible proof that the Student Council was not a farce. It is questionable whether or not it was a success, but it was not a farce. Your honor, the defense rests. I-le sits down again. The judge rises. Gentlemen of the iury. You have heard all the evidence. I shall expect a decision in fifteen minutes, but remember that this is an important decision that you are about to make. EXONIAN First Row: NlcNitt, Panshin, A.

Publications The Exovaizm, as usual, found itself under fire for being inaccurate, tasteless, the therapeutic outlet for a handful of boys, radical and unrepresentative of the school as a whole. The editors were quick to accept the last two charges and went about proving their validity with editorials suggesting the abolition of var- sity sports, required mixing of all classes at the tables in the dining halls, and free discussion of subjects generally considered taboo. The Exorzimz has gone abolition crazy was a cry heard often in the middle of the fall term. Actually, a little research reveals that there were only three abolition editorials: varsity sports, the Four-Year Club, and Cum Laude. The editors have subsequently admitted that the Cum Laude abolition move marked the year's low point. The editors spent the fall term letting off steam and the winter term ex- perimenting. The spring term was the result. The first issue of the year had three long editorials expressing optimism for the new housing plan and calling for non-conformity. It went, along with a plethora of form letters and business reply cards, to over 5000 parents, alumni, students, and teachers. Second only to Varsity Sports?? in unpopularity was the editorial propos- ing the Exonian Dining Hall Plan. The editors felt that, despite the housing plan, there was not enough mixing of classes, and that the way to improve the situation was to make boys choose people from different classes to eat with. The plan met with defeat in two debates, student cries of You have broken down class unities so far anyway . . . , and faculty declarations of One thing at a time. In an editorial which appeared the morning of the Andover football game, The Exonian proposed a Visiting Fireman plan Qlater changed to the more dignified Visiting Fellows planj. The editors hoped to have famous writers, artists, and scientists spend two or three weeks at school talking with boys formally and informally. In February, the trustees gave their approval to the vlan. i Busy with the Anniversary Issue in the winter term, the editors relied more v1 - J 1 'mr .fd Qlffavf ff-ei' ' ' ' on columns than they had in the fall. The most regular colum- I ' ' nist of the term was Corliss liamont, alunmus and noted liberal., iz, f E .,, ' , a l,amont's column, Wheels of justice , appeared six times and dealt with Congressional inquisitions, economic planning, and naturalistic humanism. Three faculty columns appeared. The series began with XYhat's XYrong in the lfxyu by Academy Secretary VVilliam tl. Cox. lt was a ringing denunciation of The Exoflifrul for alleged l'Trivial writing, inconsequential comment and baseless suppositionfl Poems by Hilaire Belloc, a book re- view in Spanish, Lenin on the XVoman Question , and a column by an enigmatic horse tamer. Prof. O. R. Gleason, were also seen. The only maior upheaval on the front page was the increased use of photographs and boxes. Debating was featured at the beginning of the year, but assumed a less important place as de- bates grew poorer or were never held. Hand-tooled features took up the slack. The biggest single piece of work for the year was the 77th Anniversary Issue. a 52-page magazine entitled Un Trial-The American Secondary School. Editorial Board members visited high schools and private schools throughout the country and wrote articles on them. Prominent men in education were con- tracted to write on some of education's major problems. ln the words of the editors the purpose of the magazine was to find out what we have missed and what we have gained by coming here. ,. 4 I Due to the high rate of efficiency in the business office, the ' ' i,..

' 1 O be made along thc way, but they were determined that all copy sent to the printer would be perfect. This attempt for perfection was one of the things that the editors wanted to pass along to the hcelers. The heeling boards were larger and more enthusiastic than they have ever been. This year marked the seventy-fifth anniversary of the Perm and early in the year an anniversary section was planned. It was to contain a history of thc Perm in relation to the school. The rest of the Perm would contain the same things, except for an increased number of feature pages, more ads, and a new outlook on writing. The Perm has been severely criticized in recent years because of its cookie mold type of story. This year, the editors wanted to present the normal ma- terial in as many novel ways as possible: plays, trials, gossip columns, and fan- tasies, to name a few. The sports stories, however, were about the same. The art work, done by john Nash, was simple and effective. ln general, the Perm tried to change things that had been the same for years-the writing and gaudy art work. Along with a little too much social life, most of the editors enjoyed and got a pleasing sense of accomplishment from their work. The Review started the year minus a business manager, S300 in debt, and with a general lack of enthusiasm. The editors were anxious to put some life into the almost defunct publication. After finding a business manager, the editors began to develop a Refviefw. They completely changed the style and layout in order to make The Review more readable and appealing, The fall Rewieau, which came out just before Christmas vacation, was pocket-size and illustrated with many line drawings. More meetings than usual were held during the fall term in an effort to stimu- late interest among new writers. In general, the stories in the fall Review at- tempted to get away from the usual stream of consciousness and impressionistic writing about adolescent problems. Several poems, a story about a boy who turned himself into a pin-ball machine, and a recorded interview with jacques Barzun were included. For once The RUi'lC'1L' came out of the red. lt was inter- esting, and people read it. This New Review succeeded in arousing some interest in the school's lit- erary publication. More stories were submitted for discussion during the winter term. The winter Retiefu' came out just before the spring vacation with the same REVIEW First Row: J.

A new publication appeared on the Exeter scene during the spring term. Exctefs Best was a S4-page magazine put out by an enterprising group of Upper-Middlers. The magazine included some of the best writing from past issues of the Review, and stories by Exeter graduates who have become famous in the literary world. For the E-Hook, 1954-55 was a year of sweeping changes. A different Senior Class President wrote the greeting to the new boys, and several new sentences were added to the Faculty Regulations section. Amid this spirit of revolution only a few phrases like study is first at Exeter, and don't be afraid to ask questions were preserved intact. E-BOOK Firrt Row: D.

Landers emerged from his classroom with a surplus of tenors and baritones but a weak bass section. At rehearsals he waved and pleaded to make the basses sound more like basses. Then the final cuts came later in November, and rehearsals moved upstairs. lt was a young and relatively inexperienced group on the bulletin board list. But the club's President, Doug Banker, was encouraging, the baritone section was strong. he said. Less than four weeks of three short rehearsals each week remained before the Christmas Concert with Beaver on December llth. Each re- hearsal started a little earlier, and ended at the eight o'cloclc bell as the concert date drew nearer. And then at one of the final rehearsals, Presi- dent Banker tersely declared that no club in his experience had ever been so poorly prepared for a Christmas Concert. Fveryone winced, and sat up a little straighter. The Beaver girls filed into the chapel on Saturday night to the cus- tomary catcalls and whistles of the not exclusively music-minded au- dience. After an unforceful, but very well received rendition of Leroy Andersons A Christmas Festival by the orchestra, the Fxeter singers led off with their two best numbers of the evening, The Sicilian Mar- iners' Hymn, and Behold That Star. Both of these were performed with a certain amount of precision. although they lacked polished tech- nique. Bankers solo in the former piece was a highlight of the evening. lt achieved a bigness and depth of tone that was lacking in Grayson Davis' later solo in a selection from l'landel's Messiah. There were long relaxed intervals between numbers while everyone took a deep breath, but the club's singing betrayed a nervousness that reoccurred again in the other home concerts. Miss lngebord Jarrett, Beaver's conductress, sang the solo in the girls' most appealing number, the annual Norwegian carol. The audience thoroughly enjoyed the concert until the performance of the modern complex Psalm l-l8, by Gustav Holst, rendered jointly by the clubs as a finale. Because of the lack of practicing time under the strict rehearsing schedule, it turned out a pot-pourri of off-pitch and mistimed entries. and the audience began to squirm restlessly. lt wasn't a bad start for the Musical Clubs. but the audience left with a bad taste in their mouths, and Mr. Landers was ready for a lot of work.

The old French prints in the Art Gallery rocked to the Royal Ex- onians afterwards. and the mistakes of the concert were temporarily for- gotten at the dance. The farewells of the couples in the dark reflected a sadness that it was all over. There was the customary 4-3l for Beaver as the buses drove off, and everyone returned to routine. They were prepared for the worst from Mr. Landers at lVlonday's rehearsal, and the absentee list was unusually long. But the music for the Rogers Hall Concert was handed out quietly, the Beaver mistakes were officially spilt milk. lt was a much improved orchestra that performed with the Cllee Club at Rogers Hall. lt could be one of our best orchestras, Mr. Landers had said after their first rehearsal. This concert fulfilled his high ex- pectations. After the Glee Club had sung their Christmas Concert num- bers in almost the same, if not a bit more confident manner than with Beaver. a new trio arranged themselves around the upright piano. As john Lowenthal and Harvey White shouldered their fiddles and Stew Pierson adjusted his stool, the silence was tense. But as Bach's 'fliouble Concerto in IJ Minor progressed, the audience relaxed and enjoyed a technically polished performance. The applause was long and loud for the trio, and Hal Churchill's solo in a movement from Mozart's Clar- inet Concerto in A Major was equally well received. Even Mr. Lan- ders beamed in the front row. Unfortunately the girls were thoroughly drowned out by the boys in the next number, Old Abram Brown. an interesting study in crescendo. The dance in the gym after dinner was their main social event according to President Banker. As the Glee Club and orchestra had been sweating through long hours of rehearsing in Phillips Church, the I-Qxeter .Xlarching Band was meet- ing twice a week either in the cage or on thc football field to practice formations for the Saturday football games. ln varying numbers it ap- peared regularly each Saturday and paraded around the field during the half-times, while others were playing touch or buying candy. At the Andover game, the Band marched on the field with 73 members, the largest band ever assembled under a prep school flag, and even the most cynical students disregarded their hotdogs for a moment to cast an ap- proving glance on the new look PEA Band. The Andover Band came on next, and the crowd returned to its hotdogs.

Two other numbers - Marching To Pretoria and Grandma Gruntsn - one primarily a whistling exercise, were sung flawlessly. There was no opportunity for mistakes, they were too simple. Glorious Apollo was often quite glorious, and the atmosphere at rehearsals became one more of assurance than anxiety. The audience had some anxious moments in the Abbot Concert, and Hr. Lan- ders had to stare intently at his hands to hold the parts together. The timing blunder in the otherwise perfect Glorious Apollo typified many of the solo and joint renditions-teelmically imperfect but sung with confidence and feeling that prompted the director to make an almost complimentary judgment in re- hearsal the next Monday. lt was a great improvement, the Glee Club had caught something from Mr. Landers' three nights a week of toil, and almost tears at times. The audience had also caught some of it, especially in the boisterous Marching To Pretoria, a study in vocal calisthenics. The Fidelio Society of Abbot was by far the best girls' club that the school heard all year. Their tone was light and refined, and their entries precise. In this concert self-confidence made the difference with both groups. After dinner there was a dance in the Phillips Hall jungle to the rhythm of the Royal Exonians, and ehaperoned by the customary tacet taxiderms. The former ensemble was at its best at this dance although it was more comfortable listening at a reasonable distance. The distinguished chaperones were almost blasted off the wall by smooth and suave rehashes of Glenn Miller plus the high- light of the evening-the band's themesong, an original composition by Presi- dent Phil XVilson. Its performance vindicated Maestro VVilson's prediction at the beginning of the year. 'fThis ought to be our greatest year so far, he had said. The comments of the Abbot girls, who had been subjected to nothing but Andover musical groups until their enlightenment in the Big Room, proved his point beyond a doubt. The saxes especially provided the strong background that the group had lacked last year. Almost everyone of the fourteen had played either in last year's Exies or in the jazz Band, which was almost disbanded this year due to the lack of a virtuoso trumpet player. But the Royal lixies did not depend on talent and experience alone. For weeks of rehearsing, Chopin and Bach shared the basement of Phillips Church with Count Basie and Duke Elling- ton.

The Cilee Club again showed the sort of improvement that Mr. Landers had come to expect. The Ruins, a highly dramatic work by Zoltan Kodaly, was the climax of the lixetcr solo group. lt was ren- dered with feeling combined with an cxactness that they had never achieved before. Xlr. Landers' mystic smile betrayed a pride that has seldom been more explicit. Amid much getting up and sitting down again, the girls performed a repertoire that did not do full credit to the competence of their directress, who led the two groups in a superb performance of the Faure Re- quiem selections. The trip back from VValnut Hill took more than one and one-half hours, yet there was still singing in the buses as they unloaded in front of Phillips Church at l A.M. Walnut llill's direetress had said that it was the best men's chorus she had ever heard.

A week later at Concord, the con- cert was almost as successful. But what had really gratified Mr. Landers had been the performance at the lfestival, where about thirty lixonians formed part of a superb chorus that sang im- pressive and unusual selections.

Student Bookstore The store with Tiffany's quality and VVoolworth's prices began this year in the closet next to the Grill. After a week of school there was no indication that the new location was ad- versely affecting business. Hopes were high as EXeter's book- store began its third year of operation. When this year's management took control last spring, it was faced with the awesome prospect of cleaning and erasing over two thousand text books. Although five ambitious lowers were kept at the grindstone during the last week of school, most of the work had to be done over graduation weekend. After work- ing all Thursday, the day before most under-classmen left for the summer, the new owners headed back to their dormitories for an hour of sleep. At midnight five barefooted, pajama-clad capitalists were back at work. Over the roar of Stew Pierson's hi-fi set, they priced books. Sustained by No-Doz, bananas, and bologna, they worked continuously for the next fourteen hours. That afternoon Pierson and Dick Ramsden were aroused from a deep sleep and sent to the station to meet their dates for the june Ball. By evening the work was finished. After a summer to recuperate, the five returned to school a day early to prepare the store for business. They discovered that many supplies needed for the first week's deluge of customers had not arrived. Several frantic phone calls were made to supply companies, and soon the store was filled with everything from stencils to stationery. The first few days the cash register was ringing constantly and the store was filled with shouting, bargain-hunting Exonians. Yet this continual uproar never seemed to get on anybody's nerves. .After the turmoil of the first week business slowed to a steady rate, and the store settled into a daily routine. The only excitement was the rapid turnover of theme tablets and heelers. During the next few months, reports were made to the faculty, and with the paying of bills, the bookstore came out of the red. It was evident that the Student Bookstore had come to stay. STUDENT BOOKSTORE First Rofwz Ramsden, A. Turnbull, Bartholomew, Preridentg S. Pierson, Bus- sey. Second Rofw: P. Cook, Van Meter, R.

It has been slightly revised, and many insignificant notations have been omittedj Ben and I sat on the large chandelier, sipping orange pekoe and discussing life. There has been enough noise around here to drive anyone crazy, Ben said, as the chandelier swung slowly through the air. They have to get the ark finished by Wetl., I said.

I don't like fantasies, Ben said, they're always boring. XVait 'till you see it, Ben. Many people didn't think it was a good choice, but I'll bet it's goodfl Ben and I woke up Saturday and saw that it was already eight o'clock at night, and the room was full of people. Many of them had very determined expressions on their faces, as if they hadn't really wanted to come. Suddenly the lights went out, and Ben nearly fell out of the chandelier. I can't see, Ben moaned. The curtain opened and Ben grew quiet. There's Noah fed. note, Bob Huntingtonj, Ben whispered, and there's the ark. It didn't look much like an ark to me, but I didn't say any- thing. Pretty soon, Noah's wife Ced. note, john Eakinj came in and she was pretty mad. The three boys carried her in, and then they did a lot of silly dancing. They seemed real Csieb happy. Noah explained that there was a flood on the way and everyone started getting in the ark. Suddenly there were a lot of animals on the stage, running around in a big hurry and bump- ing into the scenery. The people below us laughed, but in the next scene, which DRAMATIC ASSOCIATION l i1'.vt Row: Tappan, R. Camp- bell, Grimes, Finnegan, F. Hunt, Maltby, Presidcm: Fitts, Marmar, M.

The whole Noah family began quarreling and, although it was rather funny at times, the people below us didn't seem to understand. Finally someone told them the trees were out of the water and that land was in sight. They were so happy that they started to dance, accompanied by a distant piano. Unfortunately, the piano and the dancing started at different times, and so some of the obvious effectiveness was lost. In the last scene lien leaned over and asked me about Mrs. Noah. NYhy is she looking for her cat? he asked. Shes not really looking for her cat, I said, shes crazy. That silenced Ben, and he didn't even ask about the colored lights that flick- ered on at the end of the scene, which made everybody so happy. VVell, I shouldn't say everybody, because the people be- low us didn't seem happy at all. A few minutes later I heard someone say How can you help it, with inexperience in production . . . and he was quickly silenced by a thin stiletto flung from the wings. A couple of weeks later there was a new person directing the activity on the postage stamp Ced. note, Mr. Carl Casparj. He spoke calmly and hardly got mad at all. Slowly a new set evolved under the direction of Richard Maltby. Even Ben noticed what a remarkable improvement it was over the first one. One day we were sipping our I-Iukwa when there was a burst of light and suddenly lien and I were in French Guiana Csicj. XVe stared and rubbed our eyes, but it was no mirage. Even the hideous Victorian furniture looked lfrench. lien moved over to the next lightbulb and picked up a fresh cup of tea. I say, he said, that's a fine job.

I started to scan the program which Alice had left and stopped at the title. My Three Angelxf' I muttered to Ben, by Sam and Bella Spewackf' As the curtain went up. I could see a father and a mother and a pretty daughter named Marie-I.ouise. T he mother was the best actor, I thought. Suddenly three convicts climbed down from the attic, and the fun began. One was of medium height, rather plump and very charming, while the second was thin and tall and such a good actor that he somewhat detracted from the performance of the third. Ced. note, the convicts were julio Cruz, Nick Grimes, and Art Fitts.j As the plot unfolded, I discovered that the convicts had been loaned to the family as servants by a prison, but they did not return to the prison until they had settled the family's prob- lems and successfully liquidated the young hero and his wicked uncle by means of their little pet snake. After the curtain had opened five times in a row, Ben turned to me, bubbling with enthusiasm. I really enjoyed that, he said, picking up a fresh cup of tea. 'fl've never enjoyed anything so much in all my years here. I-Iave you heard what they're putting on next term? I asked. I hear it's a musical. Ben didn't seem to be interested. but I pressed the point. They say it will confound the ignorant and amaze indeed the very faculties of eyes and ears. Ben looked at me, stark terror in his face.

ACADEMY DEBATING TEAM First Row: Steinberg, C. Miller, 1. Pierson, President, Wallis, Stevenson. Second Rofw: glellert, Sullivan, Cox, Enders, Hawkins, R. cott. Debating During this year, debating suffered from an acute case of waning interest. Some of the debates were excellent and had large, and at times, appreciative audiences, the great majority, however, were characterized by insipid speaking, and dwindling attendance. The two formal societies, the Golden Branch and the G. L. Soule, contained indifferent officers and chose topics that were either too ridiculous or too remote. The Senate practically disappeared and struggled to renew interest by abolishing its childish party system which had served only to gratify the petty vanities of some of the enthusiastic senators. Unfortunately it also suffered from an inability to choose topics of even mild interest. The junior Debating Society could not be distinguished from any in the last four years. It had the same group of thirty-odd preps who muddled their way through incomprehensible oratory, in an effort to get some assurance and poise on the podium. The last of Exeter's forensic circuses is the so-called skim of the cream , the Academy Debating Team. This group of twelve suffered from inexperience and a lack of cooperation, and they were at a disadvantage when they faced St. Paul's. The topic, Resolved: That having a taste for collecting seashells is better than being born rich , was original although rather pointless, and the audience reaction illustrated this in an interesting way. It was evident that the laughter was at, rather than with, the speakers, and after inconclusive arguments on both sides, St. Paul's walked off with top honors. A couple of weeks later the team faced Roxbury Latin and again lost on a topic involving the conflict between reason and religion, due mainly to an arrogant refutation of religion on our side, and a good deal of .righteous defending of Christianity on theirs. Neither team ap- proached the topic. One of the more interesting by-products of debating in the course of the year was the Sullivan Plan for debating. Sullivan's main idea was that all the con- structive speakers of one side would give their arguments, and then their op- ponents would be given the floor. This was to avoid breaking the listener's train of thought. Criticized in the E.7CU77iH7Z as impractical, because it would be boring to listen to fourteen minutes of one-sided debate, Sullivan's reply was: I find the bore- dom argument unintelligent. I suspect that the conflict between the two sides should alone provide the excitement of a debate, I doubt that a conflict between members of the same team is necessary to interest the audience.

Second Row: Steinberg, YVilkins0n, Rudick, Tucker, Kulin, Barber, G. Kelly. Extra-Curricular Activities Come First At Exeter. Although advertised as one of the most controversial debates of the year C this was a safe statement to make, since it was also the first debatej it aroused no controversy. In its first debate, the Golden Branch held a student-faculty wife debate, thereby definitely establishing a tradition begun last year. The Branch put up a strong team to oppose the three faculty wives on the topic: A Woman's Place is in the Home. The debate was very encourag- ing, particularly for the beginning of the year. The speeches were well prepared and well delivered, particularly in the ease of the faculty wives, who vigorously defended their right to issue forth from the hearth, and in spite of stiff opposition, they made their point stick. Rebuttalist and best speaker Mrs. Rose- mary Coffin spoke effectively and with the debonair humor that characterized all three ladies. An Exorzian editorial suggesting a plan whereby all classes would be mixed at the dining tables, precipitated an inter-society debate the following Week. This was a violent departure from the norm because inter-society debates have never been held at the beginning of a term before, and also there was an unprece- dented change in the style of the debate. lt was an Oregon style debate Can innovation in the inter-society strugglesl, which en- tails the addition of an examiner, to the two constructive speakers and rebuttalist on each side. The Soule took the affirmative, that this dining plan would be beneficial to Exeter, but Ceuriously enoughj found difficulty in supporting their side. On paper it was rather a nice democratic gesture, but on the podium the obvious failings of mixing adoles- cents, ranging from twelve to eighteen, was painfully obvious. The Branch had difficulty in marshalling logic to support their side also, although their position was clearly more advantageous. The topic was a very poor one because it was hard to argue logically and the speeches were dominated by emotion rather than reason. The Branch won, although john Pierson, of the Soule, was elected best speaker. f' ' ,i T k l The following week, the Soule made an attempt to gain lost ground with a much publicized debate, There can be no God- liness without cleanliness. There was an Exonian story before- hand which quoted the Soule President, john Pierson, as saying that the debate would deal with problems of spiritual and or- ganic magnitudef' The teams were appropriately dressed fthe affirmative appearing in immaculate choir robes, and the nega- tive displaying dirty, tattered blue jeans.j The upshot was that cleanliness was not imperative, and from the point of view of the audience it was an amusing debate. Unfortunately, the Soule started the trend, in this debate, of relying on gimmicks rather than skillful speaking, to make the debates successful. The Branch did not succumb immediately to the gimmick idea and tried to debate scriouslv in its next meeting whether or not religion was an escape. Although neither side was very clear in its statements on religion, there were a lot of interesting ideas thrown around. The affirmative tried to show the negative that religion was an escape from care, misery, sorrow, the ma- terial world, ignorance and reality. They had a good case until Fred Morehouse broke up the debate with one statement, When a person joins a religion, he is accepting responsibility, not es- caping it. His paternalistic attitude as well as his ability to gather the audience into his fold combined to make him the best speaker of the evening. A few weeks later the Branch debated, Resolved: That Man has Ceased to Progress , and this time Morehouse tied for best speaker with Ashton Hawkins, affirmative rebuttalist. The af- firmative had a more difficult side to defend, and both teams skillfully misguided the audience. The affirmative won, because they were a little more convincing in the way they did it. The Soule, after some trouble in determining which team was negative and which was affirmative. debated the problem of the centralization of government. The conclusion Cin so far as there was onel was that the government does not have too much power. This was an example of a poor topic, poor speaking, and no interest on the part of the audience. Practically all the argu- ments on both sides came directly from American History textbooks, and all the seniors were painfully aware of it. The Branch, still taking its debates seriously, debated on whether an Exeter education is better than a high-school educa- G.L.

The topic wasn't bad, except that some similar aspect of education is debated every year by each society, and so many had heard it all before. The speaking was fairly good hut the audience was not very large nor very responsive. The Branch was having the same difficulty as the Soule in finding ex- perienced debaters, and it was getting increasingly hard even to put on a debate. In an effort to revive interest, the Branch finally gave in to the gimmick idea, and held a highly sensational trial. Henri Couture QBill Edgarj was on trial for having killed his hope- lessly crippled and spastic son, in order to lessen the burden of privation on the rest of the starving family. QThis child was a real luxury, demanding hospital care and special injectionsj The issue was not whether he had committed the murder, because he admitted that, but whether he had committed a moral sin. After much haggling by the two trial lawyers, CFred More- house representing the defendant, and Elias Kulukundis as prose- cutorj they finally selected a seven man jury from the audience. As the trial began judge Peter Cox encountered a lot of opposi- tion from certain romantic revolutionariesl' who came to heckle, apparently not because they thought Couture innocent, but rather because their anarchical leanings did not permit them to countenance any manifestation of authority, such as a trial. There were four witnesses for the prosecution, who were ex- amined and then cross-examined by the opposing lawyer. The same thing happened to the defense witnesses, and there was a good deal of lively give-and-take which was interesting to watch. One drawback to the whole trial was that every witness had a different aspect of the case and they did not know how far they could answer, because their field of knowledge was not spe- cifically mapped out. This gave rise to some fantastic stories on the part of the witnesses that were difficult for the lawyers to refute successfully. After Couture had taken the stand and pleaded that his mercy killing was justified Call the while emphasizing his poverty and ignorancej, the lawyers gave two very convincing summations. The jury deliberated for several minutes and finally decided that Couture was guilty, and had to die fin this trial he had to be either acquitted or condemned to diej. ,I U N l OR DEBATING SOCIETY I i'r.rf Rnfw: P.

Taylor, Noble, Finlayson lfreiden, Becket. This debate was a success for a variety of reasons. Not only was there a large audience, but also much of the speaking was very good, and kept the audience interested. It was more like a play with rehearsed lines than a debate, but this definitely added rather than detracted from the performance. Another basic reason for its success was its application to the present day. The Sheppard case was being decided at that time, and mercy killings are one phase of murder that has been virtually unexplored. The following week, the Soule debated the topic that all presently preserved art be destroyed. It was a very good idea for a debate and might have been handled well. The subject was inspired by jacques Barzun of Columbia University. NVhile speaking at Exeter he mentioned that it might be a good thing, from the standpoint of the artist, if all art of the past were de- stroyed. Here again, the poor preparation of the speakers marred the debate, and an excellent topic was wasted. Luckily for the museums, the Soule decided to spare the old masters. The remaining debates were characterized by a total lack of interest and one example of regrettably poor taste. Cynicism ran the gauntlet of the Branch, and it was deemed unbecoming to youth. Words, Bibles and Manifestos flew in the Soule debate of Christianity vs. Communism, and some of the more demon- strative debaters made a rather radical departure from good taste. A few weeks later I was walking through Phillips Hall when I heard a lot of noise coming from the Daniel Webster Debating Room. I went up to see who was there and I never saw such a strange crowd in all my life. Dan was there, of course, sitting against the wall in the center of the room. There was a tall, rather nice-looking man presiding. At least I thought he was nice until I saw his eyes and recognized judge Hawthorne from Salem. Beside him was a tall dark gentleman dressed in black. I didn't know his name. I went up to Nero who was sitting on the negative sidc and asked him what all the people were doing there. He interrupted his violin concerto Cby Beethoven, I thinkj and scowled at me. The flames in the fireplace leaped higher and higher. A slovenly, ill-kempt artist was on trial, for eating vegetables out of season. judge Hawthorne rubbed his hands together in anticipation. Everyone knew that the sentence would be exile on the North Shore of Long Island. l went up to Titus Oakes and asked him what everyone was doing there. He peered over his glasses and exhaled some smoke in my face: VVho are you? he asked in sonorous tones. VVell, I said nervously, I was Gargantua when I woke up this morning, but now I'm not sure. He stared at me angrily: Why is a raven like a writing desk. he snapped. I fumbled and grew red. I didn't know the answer. judge Hawthorne turned and glared, and Nero stopped playing the violin. Answer, or you will be judged guilty, he thundered. l said nothing. Off with his head, the hanging-iudge shouted from the crowd. Others took up the cry and they all started pressing in on me. I screamed and ran out of the room and down the stairs. There were a few people Coming up for the debate. and they were very startled to see me rush by, without a word, as if the devil were after me.

Third Row: McGuire, liwitchell, Engel, lfuguet, llobson Pete Cox, President of the Lantern Club, told us the other day that his club had a very successful and enthusiastic year. We're not sure, of course, but judging by the huge turnout of members at the meetings, and by the lively discussions there, P. C. is not exaggerating. Naturally I went to all the meetings, and they were quite enlightening. The Lan- tern Club, as I was exclusively told by H. F., is one of the clubs at P.E.A. designed to keep other people out. That's just what he said, and-well, I don't like to repeat such things. Anyway, there were six new members elected that evening, and some uppers who hadnlt been elected were invited to the next rendez-vous when Mr. Elie Vidal of the Phillips Exeter Academy French Department was going to address the club. Mr. Vidal spoke on the art of VVatteau and his expression of feel- ing in contrast with his predecessors CPoussin, of coursej. It was delight- ful to indulge in cider and doughnuts. Harold McGuire served the doughnuts while David Payne poured. Our next meeting was in the Lamont Art Gallery where we heard a Mr. Pheffer speak on advertising and its connection with art. Very interesting indeed. Mr. Armstrong was our host in the Davis Library two weeks later, where Mr. Morrison, a professor at Harvard, spoke to us about writing and some of his classes. After jacques Barzun gave his lecture in the Chapel November 16, he was the club's special guest in the Perry Room. We had a lively discussion with him along the lines of his lecture topic, The Care and Feeding of the Mind. The lively chatter we heard on the way back to our apartments indicated that he was the most successful speaker of the year. On November 21, there was a very special meeting in the Academy Building where we were very disappointed to hear that our good friend joseph Mayer had re- signed as President. Perky' Pete Cox was elected to carry on his duties, and David Payne was unanimously elected Secretary-Treasurer. Vl'e also decided that coffee would be served with the doughnuts in- stead of the usual cider. At the next meeting, Mr. Bragdon of the History Department, whose History of ri Free People has just been published, spoke to us on the problems of writing such a textbook. Coffee was served for the first and last time, because many conformists still sipped cider. The club's first guest of the winter term was Mr. Rudolph Elie, music critic for the Boston Herald. He discussed music criticism and the Boston Sym- phony Orchestra. Mr. Elie took a trip to Europe last year and had a wonderful time. In our final get-together of the winter, four new mem- bers were elected. The character of each nominee was briefly discussed before votes were cast. All the newly elected boys, incidentally, were seniors. I heard that this was done in order to maintain the discussion group atmosphere of the organization, but there may have been some prejudices involved. lt has been rumored that the spring term will also be an active one. Elia Kazan, movie producer, and Hamilton Basso, novelist, have been invited to be the club's guests. Well, that's about it. The Lantern Club was a wonderful assignment. So long for now. Historiography takes many forms, many themes, it can have many different meanings, or none at all. The members of this year's Herodotan Society were exposed to a great many of these forms, at least in their fundamental and simplified states. There was Mr. Ronealez of the Exeter French Department who gave an illustration of biographical history. Relying on a great deal of personal experiences Cacquired when he was working at many of the various diplomatic and economic conferences which were held near the end of World War llj and supplementing this with more information that he had gained through both French and American publications, Mr. Ron- ealez gave a very concise talk on a very complex man, Pierre Mendes- Franee. His discussion showed the possible effect on history that one man's genius and courage alone might have. Documentation is a necessary ingredient in any historical writing, no matter how generalized the interpretation. And an informal discussion with Mr. Cole of the History Department Qwho was in the midst of writing his thesisj showed what documentation really is, and what work it requires. The prospect of having to search through such an array of factual material dismayed some of the more romantic historians in the society whose ideas of history were lost in generalizations. The more romantic ones were also quite dismayed at learning from Mr. Shute flawyer for Mr. Davies in his case with the U. S. Govern- mentj how a man's actions in history can be used against him. Frederick S. Allis, Chairman of Andover's History Department, gave an example of historical analysis, an analysis of the influence of public opinion on American foreign policy. Intangibles, which often lead to very tangible actions, have to be weighed by even the most superficial historian. In his opinion this popular influence is usually for the worse. Specifically he cited President Fisenhower's message to Congress asking HERODOTAN SOCIETY I'viT.Yf Row: Fuguer, Twitehell, lingel, Hobson, Prcxidcnz: R Scott, C. Miller, Sullivan.

And then there was Corliss Lamont, who gave a very interesting illustration of political history and history with a very definite practical aim-to champion the cause of civil liberties. First he discussed the abuses of civil liberties, using as a dominant theme the idea that a free advocacy of ideas was essential and that one should crack down only on overt acts of violence. His three fundamental points were that civil liberties were being threatened by the assault on liberal ideas in cultural fields, the breakdown of the distinction between the three branches of the government, and the passage of intolerable laws. XV hen a mob broke into a hall in Chicago and rioted, two of Lam0nt's books were burned. But when he protested to the Senate Committee on Civil Liberties, the committee was unwill- ing to do anything because the ideas were liberal or radical. Mr. Lamont con- cluded by asserting that unconstitutional laws were being passed to violate civil liberties, Republicans and Democrats only made matters worse by trying to outdo each other in this little game of chasing Commies. In contrast with the literary and historical discussion societies, the Kirtland Society was a rather dormant club this year. President Nelson Sullivan found himself too preoccupied with his debating to devote a great deal of time to the organization. And there were other impediments too. The most glaring was the lack of members, particularly seniors. Mr. Coffin, the first man to act as the sole adviser, tried to create interest among intellectuals by obtaining a number of good speakers but met with little success. The foremost speaker of the year was Professor Bernard W. Knox of Yale who spoke on The Tragic .lrfquationz Sophocles' Oedipus. Professor Knox described Sophocles' first Oedipus play as a symbol of human despair. He went on to say that the principal equation in the Oedipus plays was that the Oedipus of Oedipus Rex was contrasted to the Oedipus of 'fOedipus Coloneusv as man is to the gods. Professor Knox spoke Well, and delivered his message successfully to a distinguished and educated audience. jim Ottaway gave an illustrated lecture on his summer trip through Greece and Rome. His lecture was very interesting and informative, but, as usual, only a few members of the society were present. Three other speakers, members of the faculty, were Dr. Phillips, Dr. Macomber, and Mr. Strauss. Xlr. Strauss spoke on Thucydides, Dr. Xlacomber on Cicero, and Dr. Phillips on pre- So- cratic philosophy. All of these lectures were high in intellectual content, but again, many members of the nearly deceased organization felt that the lectures were not worthy of their attention. Two members of the English department addressed the club on Horace, and th KIRTLAND SOCIETY First Row: McGee, C. Miller, Sullivan, President, R. Scott, Fuguet.

Mr. Ragle gave a very enlightening lecture on l'The Decline of the Greek City-State. He knew his material well, and spoke very effectively. Mr. Coffin spoke on Prometheus to a small audience. Perhaps this lack of interest throughout the year was because of the limits and requirements for all persons who wish to join, said Mr. Cof- fin as he thought about the club's activities with some disappointment. Perhaps next year. . . The Math Discussion Group started off its year with a series of in- formal lectures on theory of numbers, other number systems, and logic problems. The group continued its old policy of admitting only Math 5 or 6 students, but due perhaps to a certain weakness in the senior class there was no such thing as Math 6 this year, and consequently there was little done. Attendance at meetings fluetuated anywhere between -l and 20. hovering generally nearer the -l than the 20 until the Perm pie- ture was announced. At this point the members' interest rose consider- ably. Each member was asked at some point during the year to lead a dis- cussion for which he was to do a small amount of research. As it turned out, this project suggested one thing: no one likes to do research, not even mathematicians. MATH DISCUSSION GROUP lfirrt Raw: Clemson, Lowenthal, R.

Yacht Club I must go down to the seas again, for the call of the tmmittg tide Is a wild call and 41 clear call that may not be denied. For some the sea has a fascination. That is why there is a Yacht Club at Exeter, even though the Academy has no boats of its own. The Club had the potential for an active year. There was the experienced nucleus of last year's sailing team: Commo- dore Hanson Robbins, Secretary john lValsh, and Charlie Hoyt. And it was encouraging to see so many newcomers and under- classmen at the first meeting in September. The outlook was bright for the coming meets with Andover and Proctor Academy and for the trips to the School Sailing Club regattas at Wakefield, Massachusetts. The club's optimism was partially fulfilled. Four members competed against Proctor. A week later, another four members raced against the Andover sailing team. ln both meets the P.l'f.A. mariners gained decisive victories. ln addition to this, a team of Hoyt and VValsh won third place in one of the iVVakefield re- gattas. The yachtsmen were more than satisfied with these vic- tories, and quite naturally pleased with the .Andover victory. Unfortunately these were the only trips taken during the fall. Transportation complications and difficulties in planning trips impeded the club's activities, and it was often forced to refuse invitations. The season was not as active as it might have been, but certainly the results were successful. In the winter Secretary VValsh planned to rent movies on sail- niaking and perhaps an exhibition of Williaiii Duncan's sailing photographs. Careful arrangements were made for spring term meets with Gloucester and Marblehead High Schools, and possi- bly another trip to Andover. The mariners looked forward to another successful season, and possibly one more active. Regional Clubs This year's Pacific Coast Club was again the focal point of much criti- cism because of its many New York members, but miraculously, a serious effort to return the club to actual Pacific Coast dwellers is under way. Membership was restricted to those who had previously joined, legally or illegally, and, of course, the west-of-the-Mississippi crew. Under the watchful eyes of its new advisor, Mr. Ragle, the club started the year with hopes of accomplishing something. Whether the meetings showed ingenuity or not is unimportant, at least there were meetings. A tea dance with one of the numerous young ladies' schools in Boston was planned, but an alert, spying officer of a subversive group known as Les Cabotins' beat President Bob Lovejoy to the punch, and all the tea dance plans were postponed until the spring term. Plans for the XVinter Dance were unsettled until the officers and several henchmen spent an evening behind locked doors and came up with drawings for an interplanetary motif. ln the fall term, Lovejoy and Secretary Hoyt Ammidon had entertained a number of babbling, biased band agents who gave long sales talks on the quality and reduced rates of their outfits. Finally, an unknown to most lixonians, Ted Herbert, got his big break and was signed. One baffled upper conjectured: He must be from Providence, because I know he's not from Boston or New York. To cveryone's surprise, Herbert came from a dance palace in Hampton Beach. The decorations committee was hard at work two weeks before the dance. The l1l0St talented painted craggy romantic mountain scenes and thirty foot expanses of destitute plains. The muscular Cnaturally a large majorityj lent their talents to the paper cutting machine and produced three hundred stars on which couples' initials were to be painted. A 3-D effect was given by a group affectionately called the clay throwersf' The last three days were spent renovating the scenery in order to make the New Hampshire fire commissioners happy. This meant removing many of the eighteen by sixteen strips of paper. On Friday night, through driving wind and rain, Mr. Irving courageously taxied the deco- rations to the gym, Luckily, they managed to cover most of the wall.

The girls arrived along with a nation-wide cold front, but this didn't seem to bother the most amorous senior class in years who made the customary rounds of the athletic events until four. when most couples trekked across the campus to the Pean- sponsored 'fTeahouse of the Taxiderms . Howard Storch and his ensemble provided the music. The boys made the usual de- preciating remarks about the band, but the girls thought it was nice, and it was. Supper was consumed in Webster, Dunbar, Kurtfs, or the Inn. Then the girls went back to their lodging places to get ready for the dance. Ted Herbert was not too bad except for his rather faded l iddlettes and his vocalist, whose style was a conglomeration of about ten well-known singers. The intermission was com- petently, if l'10t' spectacularly, handled. limcee Fred Morehouse was amusing at times, and even an unreceptive audience enjoyed Don l.ouchheim and Carnie Lawson. Louchheim told the story of a klooch maker as l.awson, crouched behind him, gyrated convincingly. The Peadquacs were, as usual, excellent. Four hours went by too quickly, and, before they knew it, Herbert's orchestra was singing good night. Sunday was a nice day, but very cold. Those who were for- tunate enough to have buffet tickets retired to the Pine Room of the lnn and devoured an excellent buffet. Comments were made especially about the punch. The less fortunate, but more hearty, went skating on the rink' or river in the sub-freezing temperature. Although it was not exactly in the plans, some went swimming. By 3:36 P.M. almost all the girls had left, except the one or two who hid out in secluded butt-rooms until the later train. lt had been a good weekend. Only the Pearl picture and spring banquet remained. Were the most active regional club, said Southern Club President jack Smith as he walked his Massachusetts girl back to the train after the PCC dance. And Prexy Smith was right. The club has been and promises to continue being the most active club. Une reason for this great activity among the usually lack- adaisical Southerners is that their big dance is not held until the spring term. They, therefore, have no mid-year let down. Unlike the PCC, the Southern Club is very strict about its entrance regulations. An early fall raid by some Northerncrs was squelched by the alert Smith, and the intruders were tossed out with his unintelligible 'lDamyankee curses ringing in their ears. Although this writer was unable to witness the Southerners in their secret conclaves, it has been reliably reported that some- times movies were shown-of the Southland, I presume. During the fall term Southern boys had a joint dance with the Midwestern Club. lt would seem that the poor fellows from the Midwest could have no chance whatsoever competing with the gallant and warm-blooded Southern gentlemen. Prexy Smith, however, reported that the hierarchy of the Southern Club was well pleased with this dance. We may even try for another one in the Spring! said Smith happily, but I expect that we'll be too busy with the Spring Dance. The Spring Dance is the dance which really sets the romantic Pxonian hearts beating. The PCC dance is awfully nice, but it's pretty cold . . . well, a girl looks better in a light summer dress than all bundled up in a heavy coat. Of course, Spring is tra- ditionally the time for romance, and this year . . . This year, says Smith, 'fthere will be a rejuvenation of romance at Pli1A.', During an exclusive interview with this rather withdrawn rural youth, be informed me that there was something terribly wrong with Yankee lovin' But by sometime in the middle of May, he added, there won't be anything wrong with this part of Yankeeland, except, of course, its geographical location. XYith members from many foreign countries, and five from the United States, the International Club had what President Elliott yVoodaman called a good yearn. This year's policy ac- cording to Wfoodaman, has been to show the present day situa- tion in as many foreign countries as possible. Mr. Roncalez spoke on Mendes-France. The question of XVest German rearmament was the topic that Mr. Kesler chose for his lecture. Dean limeri- tus Kerr spoke about Turkey, and Mr. Jackman discussed Franco and the Spanish problems. During the winter term, a collection of oriental snuff boxes, loaned by the club, were on display in the Davis Library. These are just a few of the program of inter- esting activities that we have sponsored this year, said VVooda- man, and we have many more good ones planned. The Midwestern Club broke away from its traditionally con- servative past this year. VK'c're still the richest club, but we like to have a good time, too.

Ap- propriate prizes were presented. What are these? whispered Kappes in an awed tone. But this was not all! Early in the winter term, the Midwest- erners stole the show entirely from the fuming Southerners. Not only did they get the best girls, but they provided entertainment throughout the evening with demonstrations of the Bop , a new dance which is sweeping the country . You either go in for thrill killing, taking dope, or doing the bop,', commented one envious XVest Virginian. But it turned out that he couldn't even Charleston. The Midwestern boys scored still another triumph over the South. In the first few weeks of school, President Bowman issued a public challenge to the Southern Club, a challenge to a snowball fight! Smith of the Southern Club claimed that he re- fused the challenge as beneath the purpose of our organization. Why don't those guys do something constructive? he asked. Although they admit that they like to have a good time. the Midxvesterners' main event is their annual auction which is held each Spring in the gym.

And there were little cellophane envelopes scattered all over them, and on the floor too. I was just about to bend down to see what those mysterious envelopes held when my attention was drawn to an adult, who was enthusiastically raving about one of these peculiar cellophanc things. This was too much for my curiosity, and I moved closer, managing to pick up a few words- wonderful bargain .... limited issue . . . line across upper band . . . twice the value. Value, I murmured. Of what? I moved still closer, and then I saw. Of course. This was the meeting of the P.E.A. Stamp Club and the Great Bay Philatelists, climax of the year for all stamp-conscious Iixonians. This evening, I re- membered, was to feature a giant bargain sale and an auction. Two years ago the Stamp Club had been started. If one can judge by the turnout, it looked as if it was becoming permanent. I recalled mention of refreshments, door-prizes, and bi-weekly trading. Perhaps that was why the club was doing so well. And then there was the gift of Harold E. Ditmars '02, Part of his collection was to be exhibited in the Davis Library, and the re- maining stamps were to be sold to provide an endowment for the club. Thanks to this gift and the efforts of various members themselves, the club had made real progress. It might be inter- esting to join. Say, I said as I Walked back towards the group, what do I do to join? Languages LES CABOTINS Firsr Row: S. Sweeney, Alley Hamlin, D. Anderson, Penis- ton, Laskin, McCann, K. Mad- den.

He thought that Les Cabotins was designed to promote interest in the French Language, but now, at its first meeting, boys were shouting in English for a dance. Nonetheless, hearing that girls were coming to Exeter, he paid his dues and signed up for the dance. The prep was one of the lucky few who got dates. She stepped from the bus at the Infirmary, equipped with an umbrella and a blue plastic raincoat. To- gether they went to the soccer field. The rain drenched them until they retired to the Big Room. After dinner the crowd moved to the Art Gallery, and the main dance began. The music was good except for an occasional sputtering of the loudspeaker. The stags, however, were annoying, and the prep rarely danced more than a minute at a time with his date. At 10:30 he slowly walked to the buses and bid good- night to the girl. As his date disappeared into the bus she said goodbye to Exeter. Your boys are handsome, your Art Gallery delightful, the atmosphere sublime. Why didn't you think of this before? The engines roared and the buses started up the hill. At the next meeting, Mr. Vidal lectured on Algeria and the prep regained faith in the club's aim to promote interest in French. He did wonder, though, where all the members were who had jammed the Little Theater at the last meeting. Later in the fall Ashton Hawkins, Les Cabotins' cultured president, tried to arouse these inactive members, but a French sing offered no competition for a dance. Instead of a disorganized party as the prep had expected, Soiree de Gala was a good parody in pantomime of Noah, the fall play. Afterwards, there were cokes and leaden cake from P. F.A.'s kitchen. All winter Mr. Thomas and Mr. Sainati watched the prep and several others rehearse two plays. Only a few people came to see the performance but accord- ing to those few, the plays were successful. Les Cabotins ended its year with these plays. For many, the club had only been a way of getting to the dance. The prep, like other new boys, did not find a very active club or one promoting any real interest in French. l l ll. SCICNIQ - A bit of transplanted Deutschland in the midst of P.l'f.A.

Scientific Society At the end of September approximately seventy-five fetal scientists trundled into the Lecture Hall of the Science Building for the first meeting of the Scien- tific Society. The meeting got under way as the six presidents of the various groups tried to entice the natural historians into their own separate clubs with political tirades and dialectic arguments. The meeting was soon over, and the boys, thoroughly indoctrinated, filed off to join the clubs of their own choos- ing. The society began its thirty-third year, science was on the march. Again this year there were two fields of interest which met with no response: meteorology and aeronautics. The Aeronautics Group was almost restarted this year by six boys who tried to put the club back in the air. Their interest waned, and the wind tunnel on the fourth floor of the Science Building was breezeless for another year. The Radio Club was the least active of the societies. Interest dropped con- siderably this year, and only three licensed hams, who broadcasted very in- frequently, remained. The other twelve members, who were not licensed to broadcast, mainly doodled with the equipment or worked towards their licenses. Because of this lack of interest, advisor Richard L. Dunnell called off all regular- ly scheduled ham sessions, so that the club met on an individual basis only. According to Mr. Dunnell the club's failure was due to the group's decrepit equipment. One of the two transmitters was army surplus while the other was Mr. Dunnell's own creation. The Radio Group was left by the side of the road as science marched on. One of Exeter's least known clubs, the Model Railroad Group emerged this year from a shroud of obscurity into activity, speeding up scientific progress. With a membership of twenty aspiring engineers the club worked hard to con- struct a railroad layout. The club's original set-up had been sabotaged last sum- mer by a gang of summer session boys, embittered by the long hours and low wages. The layout is being built on a wooden framework with a railroad track and an ample amount of painted trees and buildings on the set to produce a realistic atmosphere. The miniature railroad, the Portsmouth, Exeter, and Auburn, consists of two main lines with a railroad yard in the middle. The Shop Group had another successful year. Although there were no regular meetings, its members were allowed to use the shop's facilities whenever they wanted. The Business Department leased one of its carpenters, who instructed the students in the art of carpentry. The most prominent part of the shop, for better or worse, was Barnard's Association, a big business concern named in dis- tinguished memory of one of last year's members. This group headed by two eminent capitalists, Russ Allen and Dan Clemson, took orders from unfortunate townspeople and students who needed bookcases, cabinets, etc. The group amassed quite a tidy sum by the end of the year. The Astronomy Club was busy all year with meetings every week. The members ground mirrors for a telescope which they constructed. On clear nights, they clambered onto the roof of the Science Building to take photographs through Mr. Brineker- hoff's six inch reflecting telescope. The group also held joint meetings with the Great Bay Astronomy Club, a group of adults and teen-agers from the Exeter area also interested in the stars. Although the Chemistry Group was mainly confined to lec- tures and discussions, it enjoyed, nevertheless, a very enlighten- ing year. Members of the group gave lectures on the phases of chemistry which interested them, and the club's advisor, Mr. Dunnell, also lectured. Talks were given on luminescence, the Periodic Table, and the Activity Series. The size of the Biology Group was at a low level this year due to the stringent entrance requirements imposed by Mr. Mayo-Smith. Instead of merely having to pay fifty cents in dues, the members were required to give an oral report on the subiect which most interested them in Biology. Nevertheless the members were quite enthusiastic and active, and this year they worked primarily on water pollution. Not only doing research in the Biology lab, the club members also planned to make a visit to the State Water Pollution Board in Concord. This was true scientific progress and a benefit to the community. Although the various groups met separately, the whole Scien- tific Society was often called together to hear the numerous lec- tures given throughout the year. H. G. Houghton, Chairman of the Department of Meteorology at MIT spoke on Rainmalting. lf. T. Booth. head of the Nevis Cyclotron Labs, lectured on the work being done there. Klr. lYeeks of P.lf.A.'s math department spoke on Gyroscopes. By far the most popular lecture however, was given by I.. H. lfarinholt, Director of the Chemical Labs at Columbia, who lectured on Explosives and Propellantsf' Due to previous announcements that demonstrations were to be given, this lecture attracted a large destructive-ininded audience. The sadistic crowd was satisfied only when, at the end of the lecture, Mr. Farinholt exploded nitrogen trioxide. Credit should be given to john Saul, President of the Scientific Society, who procured these lecturers at great personal sacrifice. In spite of the well-received lectures and interest shown, the Council discontinued the Science Fair. This was due mainly to the fact that Exeter townspeople were getting slightly tired of seeing repetitions of the same bouncing ping-pong balls and dis- sected rats year after year. The fair, however, will begin again next year. Science will march on. Wi xW5i?sWJa EEQBQMQSIQ as at if 4 2 ' PHOTOGRAPHIC GROUP First Row: XVarden, XVilbur, Presi- dent: Simmonds.

Three sharpshooters, Seth Cheney, Kevin Cunningham, and Pete Smith, returned from last year's team to lead the six new members. With this material plus the new facilities, the fCillll,S scores improved steadily through- out the year with each successive match. ln five outside meets, the team's score climbed from 810 in a practice match with UNH to 873 in the New England Preparatory School League Tournament. It was a very successful year in all .respects but one. Except for the St. Paul's meet, when the latter's team failed to show up, the Rifle Club was defeated in every match. lnexperience plagued the team throughout the season. ln a practice match with UNH at the end of the fall term, Exeter was badly defeated, 884-810. In the following meet, a postal with the Dartmouth Frosh, the team lost again, 912-835. But the score showed a definite improvement. Mr. Easton, the club's advisor, was optimistic. The scores in both the Tabor and Andover matches improved by 25 points over the UNH total, but the club was still without victory. At Andover, the marksmen were defeated in a new range that had been built under the direction and advice of Nlr. Easton. In the New England Prep School Tournament, held at Exeter for the third consecutive year, the team came in third behind Tabor and Andover. 'Belmont Hill came in fourth behind Exeter. The team had its first taste of victory! In spite of a poor scoring record, the experience gained this year by the six returning team members should insure a better season for next year's Rifle Club. Quting Club The Outing Club, EXeter's version of the Royal Geographic Society, did its usual magnificent job this year of acquainting book-weary students with the dangerous wilds of upper New lingland. lt boasted fifty enthusiasts, a good climber Mr. Brinck- erhoff, and a loyal group of leaders, who, without too much assistance from the White fldozmmirz Guide Book, sometimes managed to find and follow the right trail. The first major venture of the year was the club's annual trip to the Matterhorn of New Hampshire, the site of countless past thrills, Mount Chocorua. After downing several gallons of cof- fee, forty boys boarded a freezing bus outside Kurtis at the un- godly hour of six in the morning. Two hours later they could be seen trudging up the XYeeramoo Trail, a course which they held with miraculous accuracy to the summit. They reached the top in time for lunch, and were pleasantly surprised to find a group of Mata Haris from UNH. Nlany of them turned out to be old friends, met last year on this same excursion Qaccidentally of eoursej. After this interlude the members slowly descended the Piper Trail. Following a wait at the bus for Pete Canning Cthose UNI--l girls againj, the group returned to a more civilized en- vironment, PICA. Another accomplishment was the acquisition of equipment. A new pair of snowshoes and bindings, a few pairs of crampons, and some sleeping bags were bought. The most important ad- dition to their supplies, however, has been a patched-up canoe. This canoe was bought, although not intentionally, at the end of last year for an extremely tidy sum. The purchase was brought about because some of the clubls more skillful mem- bers lost control while shooting a particularly exacting stretch of water. This faux-pas resulted in the overturning of four canoes, and as the boys frantically swam for their sinking cameras and other equipment, the rented canoes were scratched against the rocks. These scratches earned the happy club a bill for two hundred and fifty dollars and a gift of one slightly damaged canoe. OUTING CLUB Firsr Rofw: Gager, li. Howell, P. Turner. VV. Chase.

This year - seven years later - there was still much enthusiasm, but the club was greatly hampered by the absence of Mr. Bates, who was not expected to return until the middle of the winter term. Although there was no other advisor officially connected with the club, Mr. Swift offered to supervise the group's activities and keep the organiza- tion active until Mr. Bates' return. Mr. Swift's good intentions failed to materialize. In the early part of the fall term, he was occupied as Yarsity Crew Coach and during the latter part. be- came ill with virus pneumonia. Consequently he was unable to conduct any trips. ln fact, aside from the elections at the beginning of the year in which jack Ilerrmann became President and john Cager Yice-President, there was little done in the club. Plans were made for a number of trips, the most promising being a climbing and skiing trip to Mount VVashington. On this trip, the members hoped to climb the pinnacle, a spot which has always been one of the .Xlountaineering Clubs favorite haunts. Another trip that has often been scheduled is to the Pawtuekaway State Park. lfour or five trips are made to this spot every year in order to give the new club members a chance to learn the fundamentals of rope climbing, on easy rock. Near the middle of the winter term, Steff Plehn, one of the club's members, gave a short talk on his last summer's climbing in the Tetons. This helped to revive interest in the club, interest which had been dwindling all year. lt was hoped that. with the return of Xlr. Bates. interest would be revived. and club activity would resume. att, .XlOUN'I'AlNF,FRlNG CLUB l ir.tt Rofw: S. Pierson, Mehlorris, lwiss, Herrmann, I're.vide11f: Cager. Plelm, C. lloyt.

Pharr. Automobile Club lt would be amusing if a group of students were allowed to construct an automobile and use it for taking week-ends, but that is not the purpose of the Automobile Club, which was in- augurated last year. Under the supervision of Mr. Burrows, about forty members rapidly completed the liquidation of a 19-H lford engine, acquired from Iidgcomb Motors for S1 by last year's club, and brought it into the basement of the Academy Building piece by piece. According to President Tom Budlong, the club intended to reassemble the motor by the middle of the spring term. Unfortunately there was one problem for which the club had to find a solution, and that is how to get the engine out of the Academy Building once it has been reassembled. Reassembling always demands more care and perseverance than liquidation, and therefore this year the club has spent a relatively small amount of time working with the engine. At many of the meetings members themselves lectured on the mc- chanics of an automobile engine. These talks have been inter- esting and have also proved to be quite instructive. On several occasions movies, acquired from General Motors free of charge, have been shown on such topics as Internal Combustion and The Ignition . Although the Ford Company has also provided the club with a few films, the general opinion among members has been that these were not as good. XVhen the present engine is reconstructed Cyouth's optimism is boundlessj, there are hopes of buying another engine to donate to next year's club. Benjamin Abbot Society ln its first full year of existence, the Benjamin Abbot Society satisfactorily fulfilled its purpose - that of replacing the original Religious Discussion Group. Membership increased after a some- xvhat disappointing turnout at the beginning of the year. Most responsible for this increase xvere the extremely varied series of lectures arranged by President Bing Leverich and advisor Nlr. lieilby, and the interest that many lixeter students have in dif- ferent religions, Guest speakers and several members of the faculty spoke to the society. Xlr. Coffin of the l,atin Department discussed suf- fering as seen from both the biblical and classical points of view. lle compared the Greek tragedy l,7'077lL'ffilL'Il.Y Hamid with the liible's Bowls of 1011. He emphasized that man's dignity inherently insists that he struggle against a poxver stronger than himself, but that it is hopeless to oppose the might of the Divinity. Mr. jack- man of the History Department talked about lVIarxism, denounc- ing its cookie mold utopia. He also mentioned the classical theory of historical cycles. Xlr. lleilby spoke to the society on a Christian view of sex. He pointed out that a Christian does not regard sex as something sinful, although it can be a vehicle for sin. Ile added that this xvas a Protestant viexvg Protestantism does not agree xvith the Catholic stand that sex is primarily a means of reproduction. Dr. llolder, lCxeter's consultant in psychiatry, Con- sidered the relationship between psychiatry and religion. He stressed that both are aimed at a common goal, that of helping mankind, and that both deal xvith human personalities. Ten of the society's members journeyed to Andover, where they took part in a religious conference. 'lihey heard several xvell knoxvn speakers. and discussed various religious topics with them and other students.

The squad was young and inexperienced, in fact, it was the youngest squad that VVilliam Clark had ever coached at Exeter. There were only three returning lettermen-lion llalxell and ,lack Smith, hacks, and tackle Mike Dowling. Dave Marshall, first string end and captain, was counted on to help, but could not play because of a previous hip iniury. Bob Ayers and Dave l.ord were two new boys who looked good at end. Skip lffveleth was a promising tackle, and Ray .Iohnston seemed to he a speedy backfield prospect. Other than these four, however, there did not seem to be much out- standing new talent. Young, green, smallf' wrote the reporters, but eager! The team showed its eagerness on October 2 by crushing a heavier but poorly conditioned Tilton Academy team. Led by quarterback Smith and halfback Dalzell, who had been chosen co-captains, lixeter had no difficulty scoring 46 points to Tilton's 6. Dave Gately, johnston, and john Righter also ran well as lfxeter blockers opened large holes in the Tilton defense. Coach Clark substituted freely, and the whole squad got into the game. But every- thing was easy, and nobody learned very much. Although the first victory had proved little, it had given the team some confidence. The next game with U. N. H. lfreshmen would he a real test. The lfrosh were supposed to be rough, big, and loaded with ex-high school talent. New I-lanipshire, however, had been practicing only two and a half weeks. lCven though they were big, very rough, and talented individual players, they were not a team. Fxcept for IJalzell's end sweeps, the lixeter ground attack was ineffective. But in the second period Ayers caught a Smith pass on the ten and crossed the goal-line for the only score of the game. During the second half P.lQ.A.'s defense gave way before the lfreslnnen's power plays, but managed to hold the six point advantage. Twice Bob Ackeroyd, U. N. ll. fullback and former Mt. Herinon star, carried the ball within the fifteen yard line. A fifteen yard penalty against the Freshmen stified the first drive, and in the closing minutes Smith recovered a Freshmen fumble on the two yard line. lixeter was able to run out the clock and preserve its second victory. Unfortu- nately Johnston severely wrenched his knee. The next Saturday, the team traveled to Massachusetts to meet an experi- enced and powerful Mt. Hermon team, which was determined to gain revenge for last year's slaughter. Handicapped by the loss of tackle john Davis, center Herrick Garnsey, and johnston, the team fell behind in the first half. Although P.lC.A. scored in the opening minutes of the game, lixeter could not stop Mt. lqCl'1ll0l1lS strong running attack which led to two quick touchdowns and a HF.-XYY GREEN FUOTBALI.

Brad Cook, Gately, and Righter consistently gained yardage, but .lixeter fumbles stop- ped every drive. ln the third quarter Mt. Hermon scored on a pass play to make the score 19-6. This made Exeter fight even harder. In the fourth period the Red team marched seventy yards for its second touchdown. VVith only thirty seconds remaining, the Exeter line held Mt. Hermon on downs, and the team had one more chance. A fiat pass to Righter was called. Catching the pass on P.lC.A.'s forty, he picked up several blockers, eluded one tackler, only to find himself suddenly hemmed in. He tried to charge through but was brought down at mid- field. Exeter had lost its first game, 19-12. Before the game with the Williams Freshmen, Coach Clark warned the squad that 'VVilliams had a spectacular quarterback named Rourke. The previous week Rourke had been terrific as YYilliams crushed Tabor, 54-0. Ifxeter proceeded to play its best football of the year, and neither Rourke nor the VVilliams team did much the first half. In the initial period Dalzell went over guard for three yards and a touchdown, and lixeter led 7-O. ln the second half Rourke suddenly came to life, his play was the most brilliant ever seen at Exeter. On the fourth play from scrimmage, he faked a pass and ran twenty-six yards for the first Williams touchdown. Before the final whistle, he passed for two more touchdowns to give the Freshmen a 19-7 victory. Unlike the 'VVilliams Freshmen, Tufts was strong in almost every position. In the opening quarter both teams appeared to be evenly matched. .lust before the end of the period P.E.A. had a first down on the Tufts twelve yard line. Four running plays failed to gain ten yards, and the lfreshinen took over. On first down their star halfhack Marsh broke through the Red line and outran the secondary for eighty yards and the Hrst touchdown. l'ixeter's line began to crum- ple before the powerful Tufts attack. The lfreshmen scored four more times to hand Exeter its third defeat, 32-0. The Bowdoin lfreshmen were supposed to be weak, they had beaten Tilton by only 20 to 14. Defeated in its last three games, Exeter really wanted to win the one before the :Xndover game. As usual, the Red started strongly and domi- nated play in the first period. But then Brud Stover, '54, and Bowdoin's passing attack began to click. liarly in the second quarter Bowdoin had the ball on EX- eter's forty yard line. Then Stover faded back and passed to his end, who caught the ball on the twenty and scored standing up. Throughout the game Fxeter's line was able to hold the Bowdoin backs in check, but Stover capitalized on the Reds inability to charge the passer for four touchdowns. P.I'f.A.'s offense lacked aggressiveness, and Exeter was shut out, 26-0. XVith a record of two vvins and four losses the team pre- pared for the Andover game. A victory over the Blue would discount all previous losses. Of course the team cared when it lost to Tufts or Bowdoin, but those were minor games. Andover had been defeated by Tufts by only one touchdown, 6-0, but the Freshmen had been playing without their star halfback, Marsh. The team was optimistic but not over-confident. Andover's powerful line gave the Blue victory. Except for two long runs, the Andover Iinemen - and particularly Captain Pete Briggs - smothered the Exeter attack. Again and again their aggressive blocking enabled halfback I.ever- ing to run wild. It was Levering who scored first. Un the sixth play' of the game he took a lateral from quarterback Twinks Catlett and went thirty-seven yards for a touch- down. After the ensuing kickoff Exeter Iost the ball on downs, and Andover scored again. In the second period I.evering scored his second touchdown to give Andover an 18-0 lead. A few minutes before the end of the half, Righ- ter ripped through the middle of the Andover line and went all the wav to the Andover nine yard line. Here the Blue line held, and Exeter lost its opportunity to score. Playing for the first time since being injured in the sec- ond game of the season, Johnston received the second half kickoff on the twenty-three, cut to his right, and sped down the sideline to score Iixeter's only touchdown. Andover re- taliated with two mote touchdowns. The final score was Qlmlover 31, Exeter 6 - P.'E.A.'s third consecutive loss to the ue. H ICA VY R ICD FC X DTBAI .I.

Nine returning lettermen, three of whom were regular starters on last year's team, were the core with which Coaches Gillespie and Heath had to build this year's Varsity Soccer Team. A great many boys tried to make the team. but only twenty-five players remained after the final cut. ten days before the first game. The Yale lfreshman game was encouraging. Playing against a stronger and more experienced team, Exeter did well, the final score being 2-2. julio Gomer. scored both of lCxeter's goals, and goalie Dave Foster made a number of fine saves. The llvednesday following the Yale game the team played Belmont High School. On a wet field the team controlled the ball poorly. During the first quarter Charlie Kingsley came close to scoring twice, and after a minute of play in the second period he finally made a goal. The de- fense, especially goalie Dave Foster and fullback Laurie Pratt, played a steady game and held Belmont in check, keeping the score at 2-0. With the 9-1 defeat of last year in mind, the soccer team played very well against the Dartmouth Freshmen, and handled the ball with more skill than in the past. Starting quickly, Kingsley scored on a pass from Captain VVhit Vlfagner. Later in the same period, Gomez scored two goals, one on a penalty kick. During the last half neither team scored, and lfxeter had gained another shut-out victory, 3-0. A powerful Harvard lfreshman team with two Exeter alumni, Bern- heim and Felstiner, gave the soccer team its first, and very thorough de- feat of the season, 5-0. Exeter started slowly, controlling and passing the ball poorly. Harvard, off to a fast start, took advantage of EXeter's poor playing and made three goals in the first half. In the second half, how- ever, lfxeter tightened its defense and began to get possession of the ball more often. All through the third period Harvard was unable to score, but in the fourth quarter they once again controlled play and scored two more goals. On the following Saturday the team faced Mt. Hermon. The game was played on a wet field. yet after ten minutes of play Exeter's passing attack began to work. As in the Harvard game Exeter started slowly, and it was not until the last minute of the first period that Rolf Clark made his first goal of the year. During the second period the Mount Hermon left-wing dribbled through the .Exeter defense for a score. In the third quarter, VVagner scored on a well-placed shot. After Kingsley's second goal in the fourth quarter, a number of players were substituted. Mount Hermon scored almost immediately and soon made another goal on a penalty kick to cut EXeter's lead to only one goal. In the last thirty seconds of the game Charlie Poletti scored to give Exeter a 5-3 victory. During the interim between the Mount Hermon and the Tufts Freshman game, the Varsity beat the faculty, 4-3. During the first half Poletti and Captain Wagner scored while the defense kept the faculty line under control. During the second half Mr. Moutis of the Department of Physical Education scored to bring the faculty within one goal. The Varsity and the faculty each scored twice more, making the score 4-3. Playing against an extremely weak Tufts Freshman team, Exeter won the game 2-0. The only goals of the game were both scored by Kingsley during the second quarter. He made the first goal when he tapped in a perfect corner kick by Poletti and the second on a pass from Captain Wagner. Neither the coaches nor the team was impressed with Exeterls performance, feeling that they could have done much better and that they had missed too many chances. Exeter played its best game of the season against previously unbeaten Medford High School. During a very even first half, numerous scoring chances were missed by both teams, but in the third quarter the Exeter attack began to put on the pressure. Kingsley headed in a shot of Captain Wagner's. Ted Robbins scored on a long drifting shot. And almost immediately, Kingsley scored again. Medford scored its only goal in the last period, and the final score was 3-1. Deerfield played its best soccer of the year when they edged out Exeter, 2-1.

During the second period, however, Deerfield scored twice, once on a penalty kick. ln the second half Exeter began to play good soccer, and near the end of the third quarter Kingsley scored. ln the final period Exeter pressed but was unable to tie the score. The Tabor game was played on an unusually small field, and this seemed to upset Exetcr's passing attack. Both teams played erratically, and at the end of the first half the score was 2-2. During the third quarter Kingsley scored once again, his third goal of the game, and brought the final score to 3-2. The Andover game, along with the Medford game, was one of the best games Exeter played this year, although the team was beaten 4-3. Exeter started well in this game, and after many close shots Clark placed a hard shot well out of the reach of the An- dover goalie and into the nets. During the second period An- dover's right outside, Haan, scored two goals. ln the last minute of the first half Kingsley scored on a penalty kick, tying the score at 2-2. Andover made two more goals at the start of the second half. ln the last quarter Exeter missed a penalty kick, but a few minutes later Kingsley scored to cut Andover's lead to one goal. During the last five minutes lfxeter increased the pressure but was unable to score. Captain XVagner played an excellent game, even though his foot was bady bruised. Coach Gillespie remarked after the game, l'm very proud of this teamf' This year was Mr. Gillespie's eighth and last year as head coach. The NV. lfrnest Gillespie Trophy - to be given each year to the winning club team - was established by the '54 soccer team so that his name will never be forgotten in Exeter soccer. 1 , . . at ,. i we-5 .' .L Q' ' id' fi f p 0-6 hx ACAlJl'iiN'lY CROSS COUNTRY TIQANI l irrr Row: Cushman, 'l4rowhi'idgc.

'lihere were six lettermen returning from last year's cross-country team and several new boys who looked good. ln the first time trials the team did hetter than any other lfxeter varsity in the last three years. Terry Simmonds, first ,I.Y. man last year, placed first, and Tom Trowbridge, who had never run cross- country before, was fourth. Already there was stiff competition for the varsity positions. The cross-country team had great prospects. The first meet was a sethaclt tPortsmouth 21. lfxeter 3-11. hut it did not de- stroy the teanrs optimism since the first two lixeter men, .Xlichael Ahrauiovitz and Simmonds, had run good times for the first meet: 13:37 and 13:38. During' the next week there was extra distance practice, and the times in the workouts were encouraging. But then the U.N.H. Freshmen crushed the team 15-50 as nine lfrosh crossed the finish line before the first lixeter man. ln this race had luck hegan to plague the team. Simmonds was hampered hy hlisters. .-Xhrainoritx had arch trouhlc. ,fttsu - if 1 1 S , . .,, . l...UXX A c ,gs and Captain Sandy Phillips suffered from a bad cramp. Trowbridge, however, finished in the good time of 13:54. This second loss depressed the spirits of the team, but there was strong determination to make up for it in the next meet. The next meet was a heartbreaker. Although Exeter placed seven out of the first ten men, Huntington won the first three places and the meet, 29-30. Sim- monds was Hrst to finish for Exeter, and newcomer Steve Cushman improved his best previous time by seventeen seconds to finish fifth. Injuries had curtailed the workouts, so conditioning was not up to par. Then, on a rainy afternoon, the team won its first meet, against New England College 15 to 50. Much of the course was under water and there was a pouring rain during the whole race. Even though Exeter wore spikes, which gave them an advantage, the times were still indicative of the bad conditions. Two of the returning lettermen, Dick Shure and Bill johnson, began to come up to their previous season's level. They placed third and fourth behind Simmonds and Cushman. All the team showed great improvement, and the race indicated the determination of the team to show that they had the endurance if not the speed of other teams. The Interscholastics were held at Exeter on a sunny Saturday afternoon. Mount I-lermon won. Andover was third and P.E.A. was sixth. The story of the meet was as frustrating as the season. Simmonds, who had been the team's first man, had to leave the race after wrenching his knee half-way through the course. Abramovitz was hindered by a recurrence of the same arch trouble which he had earlier in the season. The Varsity had the makings of a good team, but they never materialized.

After the fifty-five varsity candidates had been cut to the desired twelve, it was obvious that there was the perennial lack of height, and what was worse, no lirud Stover or Tom Sargent to make up the difference. lt looks like a long' winter, was Mr. lienn's comment. ln its first game an all-senior but inexperienced team met the MIT Freshmen in Cambridge. P.lC.A. started quickly and kept up to a taller and faster team, trailing by one point at the half. ln the second half their nervousness was painfully evident as they missed easy shots, lost the ball on minor violations, and made careless fouls. This cost them the game, 71-59. 'l'he winter had begun. Returning from Christmas vacation, PI..-X. won three of the next four games. losing only to the best New Hampshire team in recent years, a team which averaged 6' 4 per man. Cushing was nipped as Exeter came from eleven points behind at the half, Hebron was crushed by thirty-six points as everyone on the team scored, and P.lQ.A., playing without three first-stringers. still heat Huntington by two points. Exeter was playing much better basketball than anyone had hoped for, and the prospects for a good season climaxed by a win over Andover looked good. Against VVorcester, Sam Hayes made twenty-six points, but two first-stringers were still out, and P.l'f.A. lost by five points. Finally at full strength again, the team heat Lawrence. lfxeter's effective rebounding was in direct contrast with its defensive play. They frequently threw the ball away and made poor passes, which were intercepted by the other team. while also committing minicrous fouls. But their +8 per cent shooting average was the deciding factor. During the next three games the team went into a slump. The UNH lfreshmen, ahead by one point at the half, outscored Exeter by sixteen points in the third quarter and won easily for the second time. Again height advantage played an important part, but this time P.lC.A. could not buy a basket against New Hampshire's zone defense. Captain jack Smith was injured in practice before the Harvard Freshman game. VVithout his leader- ship and a low 18 per cent shooting average in the first half, lfxeter lost by thirteen points.

'Wlien the next game against New Hampton was over, the team had apparently pulled out of the slump. They played their best defensive game, holding their opponents to the lowest score of the season. They waited patiently for openings in New Hamp- ton's zone defense and scored practically every time they gilt possession of the ball. It was their best game of the season, they had easily defeated a team which Andover had barely beaten earlier in the year. lfxeter now entered into the last part of the season with a mediocre record of five wins and six losses. They had not yet beaten a college freshman team, but had lost to only two prep school teams. At that time a win over Andover was still con- ceivable, particularly since Andover was having trouble winning games itself. VVhen the Bowdoin and Tufts Freshmen beat Exeter, it was the first time in many years that P.lC.A. had not defeated at least one college freshman team. Bowdoin capitalized on ,lCxeter's pa- thetic ball handling and some of its own phenomenal outside shooting to beat P.E.A. in the last minutes. The next NVednesday at Medford, the Tufts Freshmen ran off to a 12-0 lead and then hiked their advantage up to twenty-five points during the second quarter, Exeter never had a elianee and it suffered probably the worst defeat ever handed an lfxeter basketball team. The Saturday before the Andover game P.lf.A. played Tilton. who a week earlier had lost to Andover in the last minute. lYhen the first four minutes were gone, Exeter held a six point lead which proved to be the eventual margin of victory. Tilton drew within a point of P.E.A. with five minutes remaining, but lCxeterls tight defense stopped their drive. Optimism for the Andover game was high. On the following Saturday Andover invaded the Thompson Gymnasium to play Exeter in the thirty-sixth game of their series. Exeter's record was six wins and eight losses while And- over liad won seven and lost eight. Nervous and tight before the large crowd that filled the gym, both teams played poorly in the first period. Andover scored first, and finally, with eight minutes gone in the period, P.lC.A. scored. In the second period Exeter grabbed a quick lead, ll-7, but soon fell behind, 17-12, at the half. For the first time in the game, showing its power, Andover started the second half confidently against a still jittery Exeter team. P.E.A. was clearly outplayed as Andover, lead by Captain Bill Agee, pulled ahead by fifteen points in the third quarter, finally pushing their lead to twenty points as the game ended. It was one of the lowest scoring and poorest played E-A basketball games in recent years. The game was characterized by sloppy ball handling and shooting as Exeter made only ll out of 53 shots while Andover did little better with 20 out of 72 shots from the floor. Exeter's nervousness cost them the game. The winter was finally over. Inexperience, injuries to key players, and a lack of height kept Exeter from having a better season. The individual players and the team itself had more ability than their poor six won and nine lost record would indicate. HEAVY GREEN BASKETBALL Firrt Row: Saxe, Beattie, A.

Four lettermen were returning, including Captain Pratt, and the chances for a good season were fair. By the following VVednesday the squad had been cut down to a workable size, and the team began practice for its long season. In its first game, a practice with Noble and Greenough, Exeter came out on top, 3-2. Unfortunately they met more formidable opposition against the alumni team the next day. The old grads, sparked by Myles Huntington '43, Dan Stuckey '37, and Principal Saltonstall ,24, overpowered the fledgling Ex- onians, 17-0. It was an awesome spectacle, but no one took it very seriously. Against Amesbury High the team had no trouble winning 3-1 as Captain Pratt made his first appearance. The following Saturday they skated against Belmont Hill in another practice game. P.E.A. grabbed a two goal lead, but Belmont dis- played its usual sharp passing game and managed to tie the score at 2-2. A disappointing encounter with the UNH Freshmen began the winter term. Against an obviously inferior team P.E.A. should have done better than a 3-1 victory. With Hebron it was another story, Hebron played like a well-oiled machine. Their style of play consisted of fast skating, hard checking, and sharp passing. Only in the last period did Exeter avert a shutout on a goal by johnny Hill. Another strong team, Melrose High, managed to edge Exeter, but they had to come from behind four times to do it. Laurie Pratt gave the first line scoring punch, but a weak defense made the difference as Melrose won, 5-4. Against Noble and Greenough Qthis time no practice gamej 'Exeter played a very sloppy game and was lucky to tie the game on a penalty shot by Hoyt Ammidon in the last period. ln the next game with Medford High School, the team only slipped further into its slump. Starting fast, P.I'i.A. dominated action although the score was l-I at the start of the final period. 'Iihen Medford caught fire and powered in two goals to win 3-1. On january 29th the team travelled to Lynn only to lose a heart-breaker when l3elmont's wing slapped in a rebound in the last period. Captain Pratt said, in retrospect, that it was during this game that the team changed from a mediocre to a fairly good team. But not good enough. lfxeter played its first game on natural ice at St. Paul's against a team HUT as fast as usual but nevertheless sharp on passing and covering. On defense and center ice, Exeter held its own, but near the Paulies' cage their play slowed down. Tom Campbell managed to spoil the shutout with a solo in the second period, the final score was 3-1, St. Paul's. Defensive lapses hurt P.l1f.A. once again in the VVinehcster game, and the team came out on the short end of a 5-3 score. The game with the Harvard Freshmen was lfxeter's best and probably the only time the team realized its potential. VVhile Herb Grant gave a spectacular performance in the goal, Ammi- don and Hill combined to score for the Red. The score was 2-I for Harvard. In the last few minutes lfxeter put on a five man rush but goalie Hubbell, lsxeter '54, kept the Crimson's one goal lead. A dance weekend crowd saw Exeter return to its own rink and break a losing streak by nipping the UNH Freshmen, 1-0. But it was in the next game against Hampton that the team re- sumed the fine play it had exhibited against Harvard. P.I'f.A.'s attack swamped the Hampton defense, accounting for seven goals while the lixeter defense allowed only one goal. Unfortunately, lixeter's inexperience showed up in the An- dover game. Andover was big, fast, and smart, and P.l'f..-X. was nervous. ln the third period lixeter started to control the puck, Wes.: g ACAUICMY HOCKICY TICAXI lfirxr Rate: Hamlin, Beresford, T.

The Andover goalie misiudged it, and the shutout was broken. But the final score was 2-I, Andover. lt was an unfortunate season. The material was there, but the team never ae- quired polish. lniuries caused a Cfmstzllif shift of lines and defense combinations. Only against Harvard did the team display its real potential.

This relatively large turnout prompted Mr. Seabrooke to say, There's strength in numbers, and we certainly have depth this year. There was optimism even though Captain Marfred Clark f was sidelined indefinitely with a broken wrist. The new ven- tilators werelturned on, wrestlers joined the ski team on the board track, rump-ropes were bought. and the team began con- ditioning for a season that they hoped would eventually lead to victory in the lnterscholastics. The informal meet with Roxbury Latin was the traditional season opener. This meet is Mr. Seabrooke's proving ground where he separates sheeps from lambs. I-le discovered a few prize sheep. Hal McCann and Frank Reuling were among the most promising. Reuling, a new boy who had had previous experience in Iowa, pinned in 1:05. lt was a long afternoon, but lixeter took thirteen of the twenty-three matches to win the meet 53-40. The meet with the Brown lfreshmen was scheduled for a week after the Christmas holidays. The squad was instructed to stay away from candy and cokes during the vacation and to come back in shape. ln spite of this warning, Reuling reported with an iniured knee and was unable to wrestle. A default in the 123 pound class, Sid l3aker's pin, and a tie by Pete Canning accounted for lfxeter's twelve points. Brown collected twenty-one. By meet-time the following week Reuling was back in the line-up. We were playing host to the Tufts Freshmen. McCann, new to wrestling, won his first varsity match. Pat lieaird ap- peared for the first time this year and leveled his opponent in 1:58. Baker, Soderberg, and Owen each contributed five points as P.lf..-X. shutout the lfreshnien 3-l-0. There was a mad scramble for berths on the team during the next week. Damon Cummings and Don l.ouehheim won their challenge matches and faced Springfield on Saturday. Baker pinned for the third successive time, and Beaird, Reuling and ACAIJICMY XVRFISTLING TEAM Firxt Rofw: D. Louchheim, Reuling, Beaird, McCann, M. Clark. CllP7i1fl1,' Abramovitx, S. Baker. Il.

The final score was 32-0. Now the team was in the heart of the season. Milton, Need- ham, and Andover had to be beaten to insure seeding in the Intcrscholastics. This year seeding was particularly important because the rules committee had decided to give progression points Cpoints for every match wonj and not iust for the final and semi-final rounds. The tournament was arranged so that seeded boys theoretically would not meet until the last matches. Needham was not expected to be very strong. john XYent- worth led off the meet and finished his work fifty seconds later. Mike Abramovitz, Beaird, Reuling and Davis pinned. Howell Scott wrestled a good match in defeating l.ueth, runnerup in last year's lnterseholastics. lfive pins made it a fast meet, and when it was over, Exeter had won 28-9. On dance weekend the wrestlers traveled to Cambridge to face a Harvard team with three members of last year's Exeter team. McCann, returning to the roster after beating VVentworth in a challenge match, was decisioned by Myers. a champion wrestler from Minnesota. Abramovitz, Davis and Reuling won, and Baker pinned. Cummings fought Kuilman to a deadlock, but the Harvard man won on time advantage. liaton and Mar- bury both won for the Cantabs, lixeter alumni had accounted for nine of Harvard's points. The final score was 15-14, Har- vard. .Xlore new jump-ropes appeared, and the wrestlers got ready for Milton. l.ast year Milton's strength had been underestimated, and only two points saved .lixeter from defeat. This would not happen again. Milton had trounced Andover and was rated a strong team. In the middle of the week Mr. Seabrooke had an anonymous postcard with its postmark effaced. On it was the Milton line-up and information about each boy. By Saturday the team was 'lupf' The meet started well. McCann won, and Abramovitz pinned with a guillotine, Scott faced an old rival, Nobel, and wrestled to a tie. Beaird won, but Baker lost a decision. The score was then I3-8 in our favor. Reuling, unscored upon so far in the season, looked like a sure win, but in the opening seconds he fell on his arm. He tried to continue wrestling but could not. He had wrenched his shoulder, and the match was forfeited. This tied the score and put pressure on Canning and Davis. This pressure noticeably affected Canning's wrestling. He was caught off balance and pinned. Davis had to pin to tie the score. There was an electric silence before he stepped to the mat. Davis fought hard but was unable to pin Scullin, who wrestled defensively to .I . V . VV Ril'iS'l.'LING I-'irsr Roxy: S. Owen, Alley Canning. Cn7f7ft1i17Q Bomann NlcCann. Second R0-12: Nlr.

Milton emerged the winner, 21-13. lixetcr smarted under this defeat and looked to Andover as an outlet for its anger. Comparative scores gave PEA. a slight edge. Reuling was still unable to wrestle, but Mr. Seabrooke re- lied on that depth of which he had boasted early in the season. His choice was Arthur Spiegel, a lower in his first year of wrestling who had beaten the captain of X1ilton's j.Y. Baker moved into Reuling's position, and Spiegel would wrestle An- dover's captain, Moses. XVentworth and I.ouchheim took over the assignments in the 118 and 170 classes. Soderberg was slated at heavyweight. It was a cocky but not over-confident team that traveled to Andover. A small but loud group of Exeter fans were on hand in hopes of seeing a hunger satisfied. A PA Policeman in an Exeter soccer jersey was on hand to see that the lfxonians were well behaved. The two teams filed into the room and glared at each other across the mats. The whistle sounded. VVentworth and Abramovitz collected ten quick points on two pins. Cummings lost a decision, but Scott soon walked off the mat with a victor's smile on his face. Spiegel wrestled an im- pressive match, but Moses capitalized on his inexperience and won the decision. Beaird maneuvered his opponent into position and pinned him before the end of the first period. Baker and Loucliheiin won. Encouraged by shouts from the Exeter stands, 'fl3azoolca Soderberg muscled Tank Herrick around the mat and then gave the meet a fitting end by pinning the Blue heavy- weight. There was an anxiousness in the air around the gym until the interscholastic ratings were announced. When the seedings were posted, the team felt relief. McCann, Abramovitz, and Beaird were rated number one in their respective weights. Because of his forfeit in the Milton meet, Reuling was ranked second. Reul- ing was still nursing his shoulder when Marshalls station wagon left for Needham Friday morning, but the hope of all was that it would last through the tournament. Steve Owen dropped his first round match. Beaird was upset in the second round. Scott, Louchheim and Davis were also eliminated. YVhen the team re- turned late Friday night, Exeter was second, two points behind Milton. Only four P.E.A. representatives were still in the tourna- ment. With barely six hours sleep. these four made the trip back to Needham. In the semi-finals McCann and Baker bowed out. Only Reuling and Abramovitz were left. Reuling's shoulder was still intact although his opponents were making obvious attempts to reiniure it. Abramovitz pinned in the finals. In the second period of his final match, Reuling's shoulder gave way. The match was stopped, but Reuling elected to wrestle. I-le went back onto the mat and pinned virtually one-handed. Exeter had won two individual crowns but was edged out, 35-33, by Choate. In spite of this loss at the Interscholastics, it was a season of good wrestling.

VVc have good balance and all-round depth, was the observation of Coach Lovshin at the beginning of the 1954-55 winter track season. Despite the fact that there were only four returning lettermen - Co-Captains Dave Gately and Carnie Lawson, Barrett Churchill and Don Dalzell - the team soon proved itself worthy of such a comment. With an influx of talent, the tracksters went un- defeated in dual meet competition. The season was marred only by a loss in the B.A.A. relay to Andover and a second place in the Interscholastics. Thus, al- though the track team was not the best in New England, it had one of its best seasons in recent years. The first win was chalked up as Exeter broke a three-year opening-day iinx by beating the Tufts Freshmen. Co-Captain Gately gave promise of the tremen- dous year to come as he took first places in the high hurdles, shot put, and broad iump, and a second in the 300 yard run. Lawson, Churchill, and Sam Bowman also took firsts, and a number of seconds and thirds ran the score up to 55M to HM. The Freshmen turned in a fine performance in the mile as Fawcett, inter- scholastic champion of last spring, ran the distance in 4:33. The rest of the team, however, was unable to support this effort. Three days later, Governor Dummer and Tabor Academy moved onto the scene. Exeter amassed 56 points to Governor Dummer's 21 Z and Tabor's IOM, and might have gone higher except for the fact that there were no pole vault or broad jump events. The highlight of the meet for Exeter was the sweep of the mile run, where Miller Biddle led the field in 4:59.4. Gately, Lawson, Bowman, and Terry Simmonds also took firsts. The meet was marked by poor times, but, more important, the team had taken its second meet. A busload of spectators went down to Boston to watch Dalzell, Brad Cook, Gately, and Lawson try to continue a four-year winning streak against Andover in the B.A.A. relay. On the first turn, as Dalzell and Andover's Morgan fought for the pole, Dalzell's baton flew out of his hand. The judges gave no sign to indicate that there had been any foul, and by the time Dalzell had retrieved the baton, Morgan was 45 yards ahead. Dalzell, in the remaining 160 yards of his lap, and Cook, Gately, and Lawson, gave one of the finest demonstrations of spirit and determination that may ever be seen in an Andover race. At the finish line, .Xndover's -+5 yard advantage had been narroxved doxvn to half a stride. The croxvd in the Boston Garden, recognizing this fine effort, gave the Fxeter team an ovation which xvas surpassed only by that given XYes Santee for his record- breaking indoor mile. XVith the memory of this race still in their minds, the traeksters not only top- pled the Harvard Freshmen, but broke a three-year Freshmen winning streak at the same time. Clately again racked up 18 points and just missed by 2 M, inches llunter Cook's indoor broad iump record. .lohn Righter, Gately and llalzell swept thc 45 yard high hurdles while Churchill, Dalzell, Dale Bell, and Righter all polevaulted Il feet to cop that event. The outstanding race of this meet and probably of the year was Co-Captain LaWson's win in the 600 yard run over favored Rcider of Harvard. llefore a large dance weekend crowd, P.l'f.A. ripped into the UNH Freshmen and gave a tremendous demonstration of poxver. Aided by the fact that many lfreshmen were missing. lixeter xvon all but one event. Barrett Churchill pole- vaulted 12 feet for the first time to lead the individual performers. XYhen the dust had cleared, lfxeter xvas on the long end of an S0-9 score. lfveter's depth was manifest as the Bowdoin lfreshmen xvere defeated, 58--ll. lioxvdoin had tremendous strength in the running events and xvon them all except the 300 yard run. liut seconds and thirds kept lfxeter very close, and the field events proved to be all lfxeter's. 'l'hey had eased into their fifth straight victory. March 2 brought lixeter and Andover together in the 24th indoor track meet between these two teams. Ciately again racked up 18 points as he put the shot 49 feet 4 inches, a foot farther than he had previously done, and broadiumped Z2 feet 1 inch to take first in both events. ,lCarly in the meet lffxeter was behind, but when Righter. Dalzell. and Churchill swept the polevault. the lead xx as talten. Carnie Lawson won thc 600 in l:20.2 to raise the score to -lf-3-l. and the meet was lfxetcr's. 'lihree days later the team went to the Bowdoin lnterscholasties and IHCI defeat at the hands of Huntington, a team which had previously' beaten Andover. Huntington had a myriad of excel- lent runners and managed to make the most of them. ln this way Huntington compensated for weakness in the field events and captured the lnterscholastics with 45 points to Fxeter's 24. 'lhus the 1955 indoor track season ended. Good balance and all-round depth were the factors that led to one of the most successful seasons ever. The .l.Y. track team was also blessed with these same two qualities. Showing excellent prospects for next vear's Varsity. the j.Y. lost only to Portsmouth, the New Hampshire State School champions. and to Andover. C. Miller Biddle and john F. Righter, captains-elect of the 1955 squad. should have no trouble next year what with balance and depth .

With a nucleus of nine returning lettermen who had been with the team since 1953, the more optimistic were even anticipating a repeat of P.E.A.'s famous '51 and '52 teams. There were potential record breakers. and the new members of the squad provided Coach Fowler with strength in all events except the breaststroke. The P.E.A. mermen opened the season with a decisive victory over MIT. Despite the fact that Exeter had had only two days of practice since Christmas vacation, the team rolled over the Freshmen, 52-23. Co-Captain Pete Thorson took firsts in the 50 and 100 yard freestyles, and john Trainer won the 150 yard individual medley. A week later, Exeter was dealt its only defeat of the year by a powerful Dartmouth Freshman team. P.E.A.'s best efforts came in the 150 and 100 yard freestyles as Sig Wendin and Thorson each placed first. Co-captain Doug Banker, Thorson, and lower Charlie Raven teamed up to win the 200 yard freestyle relay, but the Frosh capitalized on P.E.A.'s weakness in the breaststroke and stroked to a 42-33 win. Two weeks later, Exeter got back to her winning ways against the Springfield College -IV. Bruce Hamilton, who had been out for the Dartmouth meet, captured the 100 yard backstroke, and Banker and Raven gave P.E.A. a first and second in the 200 yard freestyle. The final score was 44-31. Harvard was P.E.A.'s next victim. The big four - Wendin, Banker, Thorson, and Hamilton - turned in firsts, and Hamilton's 1:02.5 in the backstroke was only nine-tenths of a second off the school record. When the medley team Qhlaguire, Gustafson and Wendinj finished two lengths ahead of Harvard, the meet was clinched, and P.E.A. ended on top of a 39-36 score. The big Red met Portland High a week later. Banker and lilmer Sanborn took first and second in the 200-yard freestyle, and Dave Reed showed some impressive diving for a first, as lfxeter prevailed +3-32. The following Saturday, P.lf.A. met little competition as they easily subdued Bowdoin 41-26. On Saturday, February 26, the team took a pleasant ride south to a typical quiet New England town in A'lassaclmsetts-Andover. Due to a serious flaw in the P.l'f.A. espionage system, the Blue's strength was unknown, but comparative scores indicated P.Pf.A. as the favorite. To start the meet, silent Sig VVendin put lixeter ahead as he placed first in the 50-yard freestyle with a good time of 0:2-LH, but Andover took advantage of P.E.A.'s weak breaststrokers and narrowed the Red's lead to one point. Then, with the score at 9-8, the Red began what proved to be the slaughter of the Blue. Banker and Sanborn's sweep in the 200-yard freestyle, Thorson's win in the I00, and Hamilton and Trainer's backstroke sweep left the Hill high and dry. Andover's hopes glimmered momentarily with Catlett's win in the diving, but P.F.A. left her rival far behind in the final relays and added the finishing touches to a 51-23 thrashing. The swimmers could boast of the first Exeter victory over the Blue in 1955. In the lnterscholastics at Storrs, Connecticut, Deerfield edged P.I'f.A. in the last competition of the year. Andover finished a weak third. As the season came to an end, Coach Fowler and an enthusiastic team had not only restored P.F.A. to her place among the leaders in prep-school swimming, but what was more, had gained revenge for recent Andover victories over the Red in certain fall sports.

During the winter it can always be found on the board track or doing deep knee bends under Mr. Souders' watchiul eye. lt gets up at odd hours on Sunday mornings to go north, searching for snow. It al- ways manages to ruin the river ice for skaters by skiing on the little snow that falls. This year's team was no different. lt did all these things. lt even spent three days building a ski slide at .Xloulton's Ridge that it never got around to using. The snow dances that Xlr. Souders led in the cage brought only rain. and of six meets scheduled, only two took place. ,By january, the team had been selected and was ready for a successful season. After three meets had been rained out, the team traveled to Dub- lin to compete with three other teams. Andover was there, and the team was optimistic about its chances of keeping its undefeated record in dual competition with the Blue. Co-captains Hanson Robbins and Rolf Clark accounted for most of lCxctcr's points. Robbins won the cross country and placed second in the down hill. He was named Skimiestcr for his performance. Clark took first in the slalom. Andover, however, had a better team than was expected. lfxeter held a narrow lead until the iumping. Robbins got a third and prep Becket, sixth. but this was not enough to beat Andover. 'lihe Andover meet was cancelled, and skiers saw that their only chance to avenge their loss to the Blue would be in the lnterscbolastics. 'l'hey' went to Northfield with this idea of revenge. Again Robbins and Clark scored most of .lCXeter's points. Hank Swan came in first for Ffxeter in the slalom, fourteenth in the meet. On his second run. Robbins fell and came in 29th. lt was not until the final event that Exeter drew away from Andover. Ninety-eight pound Becker climaxed the meet with a ninety-eight foot iump. Robbins took seventeenth, Swan twentieth, and Becker, twenty-third. lixeter hid placed only fifth in the meet but had outscored Andover. 381.76 to 376116. lt can be said that it was a successful season.

Yes, you'll do. I went out on the court with Captain Charlie Hamm to practice before the Harvard Freshman match. Much to my surprise, Ken Mc- Intosh, a boy I'd heard of two years ago, walked in and shook hands with Hamm. They made a motion towards me, and I left. Well, Hamm won that match as did the other four members of the team. IVe came back to Exeter victorious, especially happy because Harvard had been the only team which had beaten us last year. The next two matches with Middlesex and Brooks were away, and I couldn't go to them. Even the fact that number three man Dud Ander- son was out for most of the season with foot trouble didn't seem to affect my chances on the court. Neither did it appreciably affect the team. IVe won both. When january 29th rolled around, the Crimson men Qas I so often heard the Harvard Freshmen calledj played in our territory. They did better, but we defeated them again, 3-2. On February 23rd, I heard some discouraging news. Hamm was out with a bad back. Leaving the courts with Mr. Bissell Qwho had replaced Mr. Bennett as coachj, I went upstairs with him and watched Anderson make a stoic effort to beat Brooks' fifth man. He lost, but we won, 4-1. Hamm Qseeded no. lj honored me the next weekend by taking me to Concord for the Interscholastics. Although his back was still bother- ing him, there was still a chance that I might get into the tournament. I-lamm did play, but he was eliminated in the third round by jones of Andover. Kingsley, too, was put out early, but I was surprised to see Dick I-Ioehn win the tournament by beating Gerry of Brooks. Exeter also won the school championship. I didn't expect a letter, especially since I wasn't a senior, but I went to the Andover match anyway. I had no fears about a school victory when I went out on one of the courts with Hamm and his rival jones. Well, I don't know what happened, but they both started to hit me, and I literally split my sides laughing. I was not indispensible, however, and Hamm, Kingsley, and the others won a glorious victory to complete an excellent, undefeated season.

There seems to be a strange and sudden standstill in the Great Bull Market as it reaches a dizzying height, G.M. is selling at 35500 a share. Then the selling booth on the floor is swamped in a sea of frenzied brokers. The screams of the wounded and dying rend the air. Far above the fracas, in a private compartment, sits j.P. Vanderdyke, the blase billionaire, munching contentedly on his imported lotus leaves. He lifts his eyebrows as the ticker tape is handed to him on a silver tray by his butler, Herman. G.M. is selling at My a share, Sir. I'd sell, Sirf, Nonsense, Herman, l've got my billions invested in George 81 Phillips. I don't have to Worry about buying or selling. That reminds me-I must visit jovial now to stock up on his latest shipment of red Bermuda shorts. They're real gone - and cool too. But naturally, Sir. Everyone knows that George 81 Phillips is the most dis- tinguished haberdasher in town. VVhy he's the talk of NVall Street. Now you're talking sense, Herman. George deals in only the finest, highest - quality merchandise - a safe investment for anyonef' Conveniently located on Water Street too, Sir. We're on our way, j.P. The limousine is parked outside. Picking their way through the corpses that had assembled on the pavement, and casting disdainful glances at a nearby apple-vendor, the pair disappears in a cloud o torn hair and gnashed teeth.

Our advisors - Mr. Gillespie, Mr. Niebling, and Mr. Krause - for their ready attention when we have needed it and perceptive advice that can come only through experience. Our most attractive business board-all the girls that have taken an interest in us in behalf of their schools, and especially their inspiration Mlles.

Q Ay 5 QQ A Spring Stor XVinthrop Smythe '23 had returned to Exeter this spring with his wife and son yVinthrop jr. for his thirty-second reunion. He had determined long in advance that this would be an excellent opportunity to show off his old alma mater, where his son had been registered at birth. After making their way to Jeremiah Smith, they were introduced to a senior who was to take them on a tour of the school. VVinthrop jr. was eager to catch everything the guide said, but before they had even gotten out of the Kremlin, they were rudely interrupted by an ear-splitting whoop. LWVhat's wrong with that boy? asked Winthrop hesitantly, pointing to a senior who had just pulled a long, thin envelope from his PO box and was trembling violently as he opened it. The guide opened his mouth to explain, when the Senior IOYC past them waving a little piece of yellow paper and shouting to the empty quadrangle, l'l'm inl I'm in! On the way to the Academy Building, Winthrop learned what the shouting was about. Once there, he was very impressed by the spacious classrooms and intellectual atmosphere-being an A student at P. 22-Z. During the chapel service, however. he was quite surprised when a little black thing with wings dropped from the ceiling and started Hap- ping wildly around the room. But the creature soon returned to his perch above the faculty, and the service continued. After chapel Mr. Smythe suggested that they go out to the football stadium, scene of many memories for him. After making the traverse of the Plimpton playing tields - where groups of half-naked bodies were stretched out in the sun. surrounded by books and typewriters, and receiving more than casual interest from a battalion of Girl Scouts- they arrived at the stadium. Mr. Smythe tried to recall his exploits on the light white football team, but somehow the effect was ruined by a group of uppers playing with gliders and repeating cap guns near by. As he told his son of the big day when he was promoted to the heavies. Mr. Smythe was interrupted by a low-flying P-38 and shouts of you're dead, l got you! They stopped for a moment on the way back to watch some lowers swinging into the river on a rope. One of them emerged on the bank, dripping dirty water. XYhat are those little black things all over him? Not blood suckers! screamed young XVinthrop who was getting a straight A in Biology. They couldn't be, replied Mr. Smythe. VVe always used to swim in the river in the old days. As they passed in front of Bill's Spa, their way was blocked by a large group of boys dressed in a variety of outnts ranging from pink Bermuda shorts with matching socks and coat to dark glasses and Panama hats. The mob was whistling, shouting and knocking rocks together in unison. A passing car caused a sensation, especially since many of the boys were sitting in the middle of the road. What are they doing? young Win- throp asked, but the senior didn't seem too sure. He mumbled something about spring fever. Spring Pla lfor no easily derinahle reason, the lJramat's spring musieal. The Popular 'l'n11eh, was a sueeess. lt was a highly amhitious proieet, and to make its sueeess even more dubious, the school expected a great deal from the play. judging hy the rush for tickets. Yet the sehool, ineluding that fraction of it that was not haekstage. went away greatly entertained. lt is quite an aeeomplishment to xx rite and stage a play' which pleases hoth those who wrestle with james uloyee, and those who wrestle with Governor Dummerg the trio of authors managed to do so hy weaving a few eapahle singers and a few varsity' taekles into an amaxingly de- vious plot.

Ahove all he was ahle, although he never had any'- thing particularly entertaining to say, to keep the play' going when it lagged. lfrederiek Morehouse, as Leon Courtley, was impressively massive, and his stentorian voiee went well with an executive-like figure.

Her chief solo, U11- happy Girl. was well handled and well written. although it was rather tiresome in the reprise because those who ean't really sing but do are only amusing for a while. john Eakin was amusing as Agnes Kepple, the repulsive secretary. She sang and spoke in an uneven whine, but her two songs, I Need A Man and Song Of Sin, were effective if sometimes inaudible. lidward Pell was equally amusing as Yieki. the sophisticated New Yorker. and man- aged to look more like a girl than many lfxeter actors in recent years. Except for the chorus girls, the greatest laurels for the musical must go to Harvey Wliite, as the frustrated and beleaguered song writer. Benny XYhittield. ln him the authors found an actor with a flair for both entertaining and singing. Both he and Banker were supreme in the Spree Scene, one of the best in the play. But best of all were Vint Lawrence and his colleagues in the chorus. both in the Spree Scene and the fashion show. Lawrence ambled about the stage as a six foot two inch fille de joic in a manner hilarious, if not precisely subtle, and AT belted out his song with a rare disregard for the tune as thousands cheered. 'lihe test of the chorus girls from the smallest to the largest were almost as good. Although there is ordinarily' nothing funny about a black- stoclcinged leg poking out from behind a curtain. it is hilarious when followed by two hundred and twenty pounds of .Xlilce Dowling. Some of the less important parts were particu- larlv well done. .Iohn XValsh and Michael llob- son were excellent as two of Courtley's song writers. and llale Bell was properly nauseating in Grin. Some sort of accolade must go to the stage crew, xt ho somehow managed to change count- less sets in the telephone booth which Exeter calls its stage. This was The Popular 'l'0m'b.' big, brassy. obvious and amazingly good. XVhether it was because of the competent directing of Xlessrs. Scott and -lacltman, the rather good singing of rather good songs, the general atmosphere, or the mood of the audience, all the various parts came together into an amusing whole. lfor one reason or another, everything clielced. and The Popular 71Ullt'l,7 became the best received Dramat pro- duction in manv vears. Spring Dance Praise Be ro Apollo. So ran the Southern Club's prayer to the Sun God, printed on propaganda pamphlets handed to the girls on Saturday morning. This was the weekend that was supposed to be, in the words of the club's president jack Smith, the best dance weekend in modern history, if the weather holdsf' Apollo accepted half of the Southerner's plea and handed down one day of excellent weather, and another not quite so good. Two hundred of the two hundred and two invited girls arrived not earlier than noon, Saturdayf' and after the girls had checked in, most of the couples went to the baseball game to watch Exeter come out on the short end of a l to 0 score against the Bowdoin Freshmen. The Red Herring Club, as the Perm chose to name their pseudo- nightclub in the Big Room, featured rehashes of The Popular Touch performed by members of the original cast. lt was obvious that many of the entertainers had relaxed since opening night, but they were still amusing. Gloria, consistently a favorite at the Red Herring Club, stole the show with the lively lyrics of Make Me, and Doug Banker sang 'fl XVon't Dream About Love as well as usual. lt was raining as some of the couples watched lfixeter win two Ollt of three crew races against Noble and Greenough, but the rain came and went quickly. Apollo was cooperating. Bob Bachelder was danceable for most of the evening except when he had the boys playing on exotic rhythm instruments. Although this music was impossible to dance to, it kept the dance alive until intermis- sion time. The vocalist was unusually attractive, and one senior maintained, she had a nice personality too. The intermission featured Tom Foltz and Minny More, a virtuoso harmonica player, in genuine hillbilly entertainment. Minny was excru- eiatingly fabulous in a sack gown, but the Hawaiian dancing girls might have been more stimulating. The Peadquacs took over from this crew and sang three new songs in addition to the traditional repertoire of Benny's From Heaven, etc. Some more of Bob Bachelder, and the dance was over. Tickets were checked at the door, and the couples took the swiftest, most direct ways to their lodgings. On Sunday morning, thirteen buses deposited all but a few of the couples at Kingston Park for the perennial picnic. Some sailors in the group put to sea in an abandoned raft, which floated out of control across the lake, while others swam around, sinking any row boats that came within their reach. But most of the couples were content to walk through the woods, or sit about munching hotdogs and potato chips. lixcept for a few unfortunates who were almost left behind on a deserted island, everyone got back early enough to pack and leave in time for informal goodbyes at the station.

Second Rnfw: Mr. Heath, Ncwhall, .'llal1f1,qc1': Craig, L. Cook, fllcl.aughlin, Frazer, Leverich, Hedlund, Bond, Mr. Benn. As pre-season baseball practices were beginning in the cage, coaches Benn and Heath faced the unusual problem of molding a team with no returning lettermen. Drawing from last year's j.V. and club players along with a few new boys, the coaches came up with a young, inexperi- enced team, but one which showed much potential. But the players were plagued throughout the year with bad luck, and injuries often set them back just as they were starting to work together as a strong unit. Shortly before the first game, Dave Marshall, catcher-shortstop, was elected captain, and he soon became the nucleus around which the young team was formed. Left-hander Stu Beattie, a member of last year's clubs, showed fine control with a good fast ball and curve and soon became the workhorse of the pitching staff. Behind Stu, right-hander Charlie Hedlund and left-handcr CliHf Craig pitched creditablv, and the three promise to make a formidable pitching' staff next year. Due to the many injuries suffered, the infield and outfield were shuffled constantly during the year. In the infield, Max Edwards and Dick Ramsden held their posi- tions at short and second respectively, while VVally Saxe played without errors in center field. Laurie Pratt alternated between first and third, Dune Brown between third and outfield. and towards the end of the year Tom Brock moved from the outfield to first base. On a bitter cold day, Exeter opened the season by plaving Newburv- port High. with Charlie Hedlund pitching and john Hill behind the plate. Unfortunately, 'Exeter was up against a good pitcher and was shut out 6-0. Captain Dave Marshall supplied the only bright spot of the day as he hit the first ball pitched to him deep into center field for a double. The following Saturday, Exeter edged out Cambridge Latin 8 to 7. as the team banged out seven hits, including a double of Hill's to left field. Ifxeter picked up its second consecutive victory by beating Lawrence Academy, ll-4, the following Wednesday. Hedlund, the starter, gained his first win, although he was relieved in the fifth inning by Beattie. Ramsden, Marshall, and Brock all hit twice, while Larry Fraser, iust up from the ,l.Y., lined a triple to right center field with the bases loaded. Beattie continued to show good form as he struck out seven and allowed onlv one run in five innings. At Harvard, the team met what was perhaps the best team that they played all year. Exeter played a ragged game on un- familiar grounds and was soundly beaten, 19-4. The fielding support was poor for Hedlund and Craig, their pitching was not nearly as bad as the score suggests. Larry Fraser singled and once again hit a triple to lead the team at the plate. The team turned the tables at MIT and soundly drubbed their opponents, 11-5. Hedlund pitched well the first four innings and then was relieved by Beattie who finished the game, for his second win. This game was the first to be played without Oscar Bond at third base. His injured knee was bad enough to keep him out the rest of the season. The hitting improved in this game as Ramsden tapped four, Hill three, and Brock two. Facing Paul Toland -an alumnus who shut out An- dover last year- of the New Hampshire Freshmen, the hitters were able to stir up little trouble, except for Hill's triple over the left fielder's head. Hedlund, who started for Exeter, was troubled by bad control and hurt by seven Exeter errors. Playing at home, Exeter dropped the next two games to Wentworth and Medford, both 5-4. Beattie went the whole game against Wentworth, striking out eight, while Clifi Craig struck out seven in five innings against Medford, but suffered his first loss. These were the first of five games lost by one run and, as if that wasn't enough, first baseman Fraser broke his finger in the Wentworth game and was out for the rest of the season. In a return game at New Hampshire, PEA faced a no-hitter by an excellent New Hampshire pitcher. The team had definitely improved, however, since the last New Hampshire encounter, and Coach Benn was en- couraged. On the dance weekend the team played host to the Bowdoin nine and dropped another exciting ball game, 1-0. Beattie, going all the way, pitched magnificent ball, striking out eight, and giving up only three hits and one unearned run. Except for Wally Saxe's double in the fifth, however, the Exeter batters could not get a good clean hit, and the game ended as Exeter alumnus, Brud Stover, caught Pat McLaughlin's line drive with two men on base. At Tufts, Exeter's two-run ninth inning rally was not quite enough as the team lost another tough one, 8-7. Next year's captain, Dune Brown, sparked the team at bat with two hits for five, but ragged Exeter fielding assured the game for Tufts. na f .-9, Exeter Exeter Exeter Exeter Exeter Exeter Exeter Exeter Exeter Exeter Exeter Exeter Exeter Exeter EX E'l 'ER Season's Scores Newburyport High Cambridge l,atin Lawrence Academy Harvard Pre-slimeri M.l.T.

Hampered by the temporary loss of Brock due to a sprained thumb, the Exeter batters were unable to hit in the clutch. Beattie started again and suffered his fourth loss against two wins. The last two games before Andover, played at home with New Hampton and Newton High respectively, were both good, exciting games. Rain in the sixth inning against New Hampton prevented Exeter from overcoming' a 4-2 lead and cost starter Craig his third loss. Against Newton, Beattie pitched the whole game, giving up only six hits, but the team was shut out, 5-0. As the team went into the Andover game, they had lost five games by one run and had been hampered by the permanent loss of two men, and the temporary loss of four others. Yet they were eager and confident as they pre- pared for the Andover game, the 75th of the series, played before a huge crowd of alumni. Andover fielded without an error and proceeded to shut out the Red with pitcher Burke's brilliant one-hitter. Exeter played good baseball and twice had a runner on second with only one out. yyenm-4,1-th 5 Max Edwards got Exeter's only hit, a slow roller Medford 5 that he barely beat out.

Lacrosse lfrom the very first spring practices in the cage, this year's lacrosse team improved steadily and climaxed the season by downing Andover, ll to 3. The squad had a firm foundation in the seven lettermen returning from last year's team. Captain Bob Lovejoy and Sig lYendin bolstered the defense, Brad Cook, an attackman of last year's team, along with former midficldcrs Hoyt Ammidon and .lohn Righter comprised the attack. The only weak section of the team was thc midfield, which Coach .-Xlan Yrooman described as chaotic Strength in the midfield would have to be provided by players brought up from the clubsg but the im- provement of this weak starting section proved to be most rewarding. lntcrsquad scrimmages began as soon as the team had been cut down to its operational size of twenty-seven players. The coaches felt that by hard scrimmaging, the team would be in condition to open the season against the Boston Lacrosse Club on April 16. linprovcment was cn- couraging, and the team was optimistic, as the midfield situation became more settled. Passing and picking up of ground balls was sloppy, but this was not unusual for so early in the season. lfxcter started the BLC game well, exhibiting excellent team play and jumping to an early four-goal lead. Kevin Madden, a midfielder, passed to Rightcr for the first goal of the season. Righter then scored after faking well, and Cook put two more into the l3l,C nets on a solo and on a pass from Rolf Clark. ln the rest of the game, however, the more experienced visitors began to pull ahead, and in spite of George l3eall's nineteen saves, the l3l.C came out on top, 12 to 9. the flaws in the defense of the previous the Tufts Freshmen a week later with a Having corrected some of game, the Exeter team faced midheld that began to show the improvement that was to continue throughout the season. The I9 to fl. The next game was the biggest upset of the season. The Dartmouth Freshman team was of unknown ability, but they had never beaten Ifxeter before, and the home team expected a victory. But after a fast start, the greater number of the Green men began to tcll on the lffxeter defense, and in spite of George l3eall's customary fine play in the goal, inexperienced frosh were easily beaten, the Frosh took control of the play. Goals by Tom Campbell and Rolf Clark could not stop the bigger and more polished players from handing the team its second defeat, 6-2. A week later, the team faced Mt. Hermon successf y by a score of 9 to 5. The visitors seldom t reatened, and with improved team- work, Exeter outclassed their less polished op- ponents, In this game, a commendable Scvellty- five percent of the Exeter clears were completed. The team then journeyed to New Haven and, in a serious lapse, dropped a game to the Yale Frosh, 8 to 3. In the second period, the Red did not take advantage of its opportunities, and early game goals by Cook and Righter, and a last minute tally by Ammidon, could not over- come the Eli's lead. Coming back from defeat, the next Saturday the team was more aggressive in handing a visit- ing Tabor team a 9-5 defeat. Don Louchheim led the team in effective checks, backed up by the fine play of Righter and Clark. After another week of strenuous practice, the Red took an- other victory from a comparatively inexperienced New Hampshire Freshman team, 15 to 3. The team did not exhibit the aggressiveness of the week before, but the individual play was espe- cially good. Unfortunately, in one of the biggest games of the year against Deerfield, the Red tempo- rarily lost its skill in fundamentals. Exeter start- ed slowly, missing easy passes, and completing only four out of fifteen clears. Of the four shots on the Deerfield goal, Tom Campbell's long, hard shot fanned the goalie's head for Exe- ter's first tally. In the second period, however, Deerfield held the Red attack out from the goal, to prevent scoring, while their attack scored seven, to build up a lead that PEA could not overcome. In the second half, Exeter was more careful in the fundamentals, and Thulander in the goal stopped all but two of the Green's shots. In a more aggressive final quarter Exeter stopped all enemy efforts. Cook scored on a pass from Clark, and Hilly Thompson netted his first score of the year. Exeter had lost the New England interscholastic Championship due to a brief lapse in the second period. After losing to an exceptionally powerful alumni team, Exeter took on an underdog An- dover squad on the home field. It was wet and muddy throughout the game, and although both teams played hard, it was a sloppy performance. The hard-checking PEA defense held the visitors scoreless during the first period, and with two enemy players injured by the rough PEA defense. Righter sent a hard pass to Ammidon, who passed it on through the Andover goal. This play was typical of the improvement that the team had li as- . 1.L: t. . .True -A lfxeter 9 lixeter 19 lixeter 2 lfxeter 9 lixeter 3 lixeter 9 lfxeter l 5 lixeter 4 ICX FTER 1 2 shown throughout the season: it was fast moving and crisp, compared to the more sluggish play of the earlier part of the season. .-Xndover scored twice in the second period, but each time lixeter struck back quickly with another tally. An especially nice play was made by Rolf Clark as he ran in from the sidelines. avoided a defenseman, and scored easily. The third period saw the home team add five more goals to its lead, as Righter and Campbell scored on brilliant solos. Andover scored once again in the final quarter when a Blue midfielder bounced one past goalie Beall's stick, but the score was quickly avenged by Al Turnbull's hard shot to the upper right hand corner. Cook made the last score of the game, and of the season, by netting' a hard pass from Bob Parsons. This game exemplified the sort of improvement that the team had been showing all year. Clear- ing, although slowed by poor conditions, was fifty-nine percent, while shooting was a com- mendable thirty percent. Checks were hard, and the stick handling was proficient. The game was an easy victory for the Red. But perhaps the most satisfying statistic of the game for Coach Vrooman was the fact that the chaotic midfield of the beginning of the season had scored five of the twelve goals against Andover. Improvement was the real victory for the lacrosse squad this spring. ALI ,-Cl .UB LACROSSE Firxr Row: P. Nichols, Sweet, Rintels, McCann, D. Lord. Capming Rockefeller, Pyle, XVorth, Priestlev.

Baker, The 1955 spring track team was led hy Coach Ralph l,ovshin's Big Four - co-captains Dave Gately and Don Dalzell backed by Carnie Lawson and Barrett Churchill. As the season progressed, however, it became evident that it took more than four men to make the team what it was. Returning letterman john deKiewiet and new- comer jeff Phillips provided depth in the high jump and discus. DeKiewiet, Sid Baker, and Bruce Hamilton were close behind Gately and Dalzell in the hurdles, and Churchill, Dalzell, and Dale Bell were strong in the pole vault and iavelin. The season opened on April 16 with the iirst annual Exeter Relay lnterscholastics. Seven of New England's leading prep schools took part, and although no team score was kept, lixetcr and Governor Dummer dominated throughout the afternoon. The next Saturday, the Harvard Freshmen edged Exeter 63 to 54 as PEA put on a performance rated as 'Avery good by Coach Lovshin. Exeter took first in the l00 yard dash and swept the pole vault, but Harvard got its winning points with a first, second, and third in the mile and half-mile. The following week, Dave Gately led the squad with two firsts and two seconds, as the team ran up its first victory of the season against the UNH Freshmen, 73M to -HM. On the following NVednesday, PEA won their second meet defeating the Bowdoin Freshman team 72 to 45. liowdoin's main fault was that it lacked depth to back up its strength in the dashes and the hurdles where they took three firsts. Carnie Lawson used an unusual strategy to win in the quarter-mile, when he set a very slow pace, and then outsprinted llowdoin's I-Iichely at the end. Terry Simmonds was third in the mile for FXeter's only place, but as the results of the Held events came in, PEA's victory was confirmed. , On the Southern Club's dance weekend, the team went to Mt. I-lermon and returned victorious. PFA won all of thc dashes and hurdle races, hut.Mt. I-lermon came K back by sweeping the half-mile. DeKiewiet won in the high-jump and discus while Dalzell and Churchill took the Hrst two places in the broad-jump, for a Hnal score of 62M to 5-iw. A week later came the New England Prep School lnterscholastics, and the start of a slow decline for Exeter. Huntington won, as predicted, with 37 points, Andover was second, and Governor Dummer was third with only 23M points. More important than the loss of the meet for Exeter, however, was an injury to Dalzell. He turned his foot vaulting and further injured it in the high hurdles. VVith the Andover meet just a week away, there was no hope that he would be able to run or pole vault against the Blue. The day of the E-A meet was hot and dry. The team got off to a good start as Gately won the shot put and high hurdles. DeKiewiet took the high jump, but there was no depth behind him, and Andover took the next two places. Leading 23 to 22, Exeter dropped the mile in a close fight between Hartz CAD and Simmonds flrlb. After three laps Simmonds took the lead, but on the last turn Hartz moved ahead, this time for good. The team bounced back as Carnie Lawson won the 4-+0 a few minutes later, and PEA won two more firsts in the pole vault and high jump. Now with a nine point lead, Exeter dropped two more races in a row as Snyder licked Gatelv in the 220 and Andover men got first and second in the low hurdles. PICA's lead was now down to one point with the 880 to be run. Tom Trowbridge aliuost saved the race when he moved up on the outside after 600 yards, and on the last turn broke loose. Andover's Brown, however, was out in front by a few yards when he crossed the finish line and Trowbridge ran a close second. Exeter hadn't recovered from this loss when Andover took first and second in the discus to finish the meet, PEA had six firsts, six seconds and six thirds to the lilue's seven firsts, seven seconds, and seven thirds for a final score of Andover 63, Exeter 54.

Crew Amid shrill cries of prep coxes, stern sugges- tions from megaphones, and ten-foot wakes left by over-eager club coaches, varsity crew prac- tice begins in early April. At the start of this springfs season, Coach Charles Swift began cuts of candidates, among whom only two, besides co-captains Pete Can- ning and Whit Chase, were returning lettermen. The squad had no delusions of grandeur and from the very beginning put in the time and work needed for a successful season. By the latter part of April, the Exeter crews were ready for their first race against the Grot- on fours. The Groton meet, which is con- sidered by many the most important of the sea- son, was held on the Nashua River. Largely be- cause of unfavorable wind and tide, the third boat was the only one to outdistance its compet- itors. After a week of hard workouts, the Red crews met Belmont Hill on the Squamscott. Both Bob Adams's third boat, and Don Tucker's second boat beat their opponents by a length, and co- captain Pete Canning's first boat beat its rival in a ,last minute drive to give Exeter a sweep for its first home race. The following weekend, performing in front of a dance weekend crowd, the second and third crews scored easy victories over their counter- parts from Brooks. In the first boat race, Can- ning's four rowed a close race until, ten strokes from the finish line, Brook's A boat pulled slightly ahead to win by less than a deck length. On Thursday of the next week, Tucker's sec- ond boat raced against the first to determine which would row in first position for the re- mainder of the spring. With the addition of Niels Lium and Bill Garnsey to Tucker's crew, they beat Canning easily to take first place. Vic Elting's fourth boat also beat Bob Adams' third to qualify for the number three spot. Mr. Swift's changes paid off as Tucker's newly formed four beat their competitors from Noble and Greenough on the Charles River, and cut VARSITY CRIQXV the course record to 3 minutes 48 seconds. Elting's crew, unfortunately, could not live up to their excellent time trial on the previous Thursday and were defeated by the Nobles third boat. XYith the latter part of May approaching, and the arrival of the eels, Mr. Swift made some Hnal changes and started to prepare his permanently fixed crews for the Interscholastics. ln the Interscholastics at Worcester, Exeter was considered the crew to beat. In second boat competition, lixeter's four lost to Gunnery by a length to place second, and PEA's third boat took another second place in the B boat competition. The Hrst boat was left in the wake of both Gunnery and Salisbury, to take third in the main event of the day. This gave Red crews two second places and a third, for a very respectable showing, proving the depth of this year's squad. And then came Middlesex. For the 34th time, crews of Exeter and Middlesex were to row for the possession of the Columbia Cup, symbol of supremacy in some of the toughest prep school rowing. On Bateman's Pond at Middlesex, all three Exeter crews swept their opponents to en- grave Exeter's twenty-third victory on the silver cup. Charlie West's third boat started out well in the race and didn't lose its lead until it had crossed the finish line well ahead of the Middlesex four. ln the B race, Canning's boat rowed a much closer race, but with excellent form and sprinting ability, it eased out its competitors by three feet in the closest race of the afternoon. In the first boat race, Tucker took his fully experienced four into an early lead. After slowing the beat in the middle of the race, he pulled away gradually to drive over the line with open water between him and his rival. So the 1955 crew closed its season with an 11 won and 4 lost record in varsity competition. lt is hard work that makes any crew a good one, and there was no question that this crew was one that worked hard for its victories.

Dick Hoehn, who had won the interscholastics the year before, was an excellent first man, while Pete Cox and Winlc Willcins, both un- defeated this year, were a powerful support at second and third. Coach Richard Dunnell, however, was pessimistic at the beginning of the season. The traditional opening match with Milton was encouraging as Exeter walked off with a 8-1 victory, and a week later the team suc- ceeded in edging out a strong Choate team, 5-4, while taking most of the singles and one doubles. This was to be the pattern throughout the season: power in singles, and I-loehn-Wilkins as the only strong doubles combination. ln an informal match on May 4, the University of New Hampshire was easily beaten, 9-1. A few days later, the team travelled to Hanover to tackle a weak Dartmouth Freshman team and beat them, 8-1. Another victory was achieved on the Southern Club dance weekend at Deerfield. when lixeter prevailed by the score of 6-3 over a strong Green team.

Second row: Mr. Dunnell Scarff, R. VVood, Then, on the Monday before the interscholastics, a powerful Harvard Freshman team came to Exeter and handed the team their only defeat. Successes by Cox, Wilkins, and Steinberg only evened the singles at three all, and when the match was stopped shortly after five, the F rosh had won the first sets of all the doubles to cinch the victory, 6-3. For the third year in a row, Exeter was host to some twenty schools for the interscholastics. Coach Dunnell was confident, with Hoehn, Cox and VVilkins seeded first, second, and fourth. All three Exeter men reached the semi-final round, while Latshaw of Andover, seeded third, had been eliminated in the quarter finals. Exeter had collected thirty-three points against eighteen for runner-up Governor Dummer. Hoehn overcame Wilkins, and prevailed over Cox in the finals, 6-2, 6-0, 3-6, 6-4. Now all that remained was Andover. Although not exceptionally strong, they were well balanced and had good doubles strength. On the Wednesday following the interscholastics, the team travelled to An- dover in a cold drizzle. If this was an omen, however, it was one against the Blue, and before the rains came, Exeter had taken four of five singles matches with ease. On Saturday the rout was completed by Red success in the doubles, and a final score of 8-I.

With two returning lettermen, two j.V. men, and a large number of underclassmen from whom to pick the 1955 golf team, Coach Dudley Taft looked forward to an unusually successful season. On a typical nine-hole New England course, Exeter had little trouble winning its opener against Mount I-lermon, 12 to 6. Captain Kistler, Holderness, Gates, and Dick won their matches, while Boyle and Chas VVood succumbed to their opponents from Northfield to account for Exeter's only losses. The following Saturday, the team made the long trip to Williamstown, Massachusetts to take on the Williams F rosh. For the second week in a row, the Nassau style of scoring was used, and Exeter took the match 162 to IOM. Exeter's curly-haired captain was the medalist, and won his match as did Boyle and XVood. Playing its first home match four days later, the team vanquished a very weak MIT team, 25 to 2. On May 7, Exeter successfully put its undefeated streak on the board against an over-rated Harvard team. The score was 8 to 1 as a newcomer to the lineup, Bob Towler, suffered Exeter's only loss to a PEA alumnus, George l,eness. On the Saturday following the dance weekend, the golfers played host to a very powerful Dartmouth Freshman team. Alex Boyle won and john Gates tied as the team went down to its first defeat of the season, 72 to IM. On june 1, a conhdent team travelled to the Amesbury Country Club for the big match of the season with Andover. A cloud burst dampened the contest for the middle six holes, but it made little difference as Exeter came out on the long end of the 6M to ZZ score. Playing in his fourth Andover match, Captain Kistler won easily over Andover's number one man, 6 and 4. Boyle at number two, playing the best golf of his career at Exeterf' was one under par when he was forced to retire at the end of twelve holes because of sunburned feet. Kistler and Boyle won their best ball by the lopsided score of 8 and 6. Howie I-Iolderness, playing at number three, split with his opponent, while partner john Gates dispatched his, 4 and 2. In this foursome Exeter won the best ball, 2 and 1. In the third foursome Charles Wood won his match 5 and 4, but his partner Art lngraham, accounting for Exeter's only individual defeat, lost 4 and 3. In the annual Exeter-Andover-Governor Dummer round robin after a shaky first two rounds, Exeter finally showed its full strength, and came out ahead of Andover 1,-192 to 1,501. In the final event of the season, the spring tournament, Boyle, putting and approaching brilliantly, beat Kist- ler 1 up. and Row: Mr. Taft, SS Xi fi: - ' ' is n ,.

On Saturday afternoon, as the Academy Orchestra began to play Men- delssohn's Cornelius Festival. the members of this year's graduating class, led by the class marshalls, marched slowly into the Thompson Clym- nasium. The class day officers took their places on the stage, and the rest of the class in the first rows of the audience. After they were all seated. l,aurie Pratt, Class President, gave his welcome address to friends, parents. and relatives of the seniors. lilias Kulukundis, the class orator, spoke of the problems existing be- tween parents and their children. He made it clear that the relationship between parents and their children would be better if parents would talk intelligently with them and understand them, and if the children would speak with their parents frankly of 'llove and hate and truth and failure and success. He tried to offer no solution to the problemg he merely clarified it. The orchestra played three pieces by Pezel after the oration. All three of them were very difficult, but were played well, as were the first move- ment of Yivaldi's c.'07lL'L'f'f0 for lfum' Violins and f2l'l'bL'A'I'I'r7 which imme- diately followed. The class poet, Charles Miller, then delivered his dramatic poem, 'I'v.m1- mwzmvlz, very effectively. Immediately following this, Bill lffdgar gave the history of the class, from the prep year up to the present. He spoke of the new dormitory plan as having vastly influenced the development of this year's class, it made the seniors no longer feel that they have to join some negative or positive crusadefl lfollowing this speech, Hal Churchill played a clarinet solo with the orchestra. After the senior glee club had performed, Phil Wilson and Clary lfischer presented Mr. Landers, Director of Music, with a check to be used toward a badly needed music building at PICA. Robert Scott, valedictorian. spoke of Exeter life in terms of conformity and non-cmnnformity. He said that there was no disgrace in conforming to something which has already been proven valid, the disgrace lies in conforming with something unproven, or something in which you your- self do HOF believe. As the orchestra started playing a march again, the seniors rose, and slowly, solemnly, left the gymnasium, Poem 'liestainentuni Son My, Ayeiigei' My, give credence to niy words: niightier ani l than prophet, or ancient king: than shining god. above desecration . .

Qration This afternoon ue are exhilarated-we the class, and you our parents. We share together the pride of four years effort. But l should like to examine this nioinent closely enough to ask an important question. .-Xre we reilly elose enough to share this triumph? l,et's not get taken in by how elose we feel right now. XVe haven't had this feeling of unity very often. and it won't last long. lfor example, during the sunnner vacation that is about to begin, every boy in this rooni will deliberately hide something from his parents. Do you, our parents, know anything niore about us than the petty hypoerises we have written you in our letters and the inane descriptions of ourselves and our lives that were earefully eoni- posed to win your approval? Only when we have found a deaf ear everywhere else have we as-363 . sg 3 , r s Q . fp Q ve' , ,Q ever come to you with these things. People in general have a habit of simplifying problems, simplification makes a problem easier to understand. But we find simplihcation of our problems by our parents absolutely inexcusable. For instance, there is a very obnoxious term applied by many parents to our experience with love - puppy love they call it! To condense a major problem of our life into two words, and such unattractive words, is absurd. To my knowledge, no term that corresponds to puppy love has yet been invented to simplify the struggle of a young person to find his religion, but just the same, many parents manage to simplify that problem too. They say that exposure of the young to varied ideas and philosophies naturally breeds religious unrest. They say it is a problem we will out- grow, and one we shouldn't worry about. XVC think it's rather foolish to tell us we shouldn't worry. Many parents find it hard to understand the actions of their sons be- cause they do not understand the causes behind these actions. lt is in relation to this problem that we say about our parents the very tragic, Oh, they wouldn't understand. The truth is that you do not love us as people, you love us because we are your sons. liven if we were the wildest urchins in town you would still love us. But at times, we wish that you would not love us, recognition must come before love. For it is this lack of recognition that takes all the dignity out of our place in the family. lt is then that a very insidious sort of pseuClo-family- unity is brought about. yVe live together, and do things together, but we are not happy. lt is not by our own choice, and we have no say as to what the family will do, we just follow along on an inferior level. ln this way, we lose our identity as people. Other adults refer to us simply as Mr. and Mrs. jones' son. The im- pression that our parents give other people is really all the identity adults can grant us. And so once again, just as we saved the important things for our friends, we look for the personal dignity we lack as a member of our family. In a way, it is a consolation for us to be at school. In our school life, we can preserve our self-identity. We are forced into a double life, dignity versus family, and this double life is responsible for much of the hypocrisy we commit. For instance, this weekend may be a very uncomfortable one for your son. He would want to be dignified and charming in front of his girl, but he would be afraid in front of you. Now we are seniors, and we worry about a perfect state of coexistence with our parents in which such terms as responsibility will be unneces- sary. And then, while we are sunbathing in front of the dormitory, the faculty children come along and steal our shirts. And we say, Dammit, give me that. NVho's your father anyway, you little brat? History 'I am going to tell the history of our class backwards, because the new housing plan, which the faculty put into effect last fall, has made the history of our senior year significantly different from the histories of the classes which preceded us. Until last fall, our class had developed much like any other class. As preps we were innocent and quite content with ourselves. By the end of our prep year, however, we had lost our self-confidence before the com- plicated social demands of a school like lfixeterg as lowers, we tried to compensate for this by wearing dirty pants, and loafers which had been mended with adhesive tape. By the beginning of our upper year, we had become tired of ourselves, and so we gave ourselves to intellectual curiosity, to varsity athletics, or to extra-curricular activities. For some, our upper year was a time to prove our ability, culminating in the complex and often bitter politics before elections to school organ- izations. This pattern has been similar in the histories of previous classes. But the history of our senior year has been unique. Two years ago, the class of 1953 was held together by negative unity. They carved insults on the lawn in front of the administration building, and one morning, they hid enough of the chapel benches so that half the senior class had to stand. The spring term of that year was punctu- ated by the sound of cap pistols, and water-filled balloons falling from windows. The class of 1954 was held together by positive unity. They too dis- cussed lCxeter and decided that they didn't like it, their effort was also concerted, but it was an effort of positive criticism instead of negation. The Student Council talked of extending student responsibility. The Exovlian editors created controversy over the place of religion at Exeter, and the editors of the Perm even made their yearbook oblong instead of the conventional shape. They were proud of themselves for what they had done, and they predicted very often that our class would go in the wrong direction. Is your class dynamic enough to change the school, they asked. And soon they had convinced us that we were to be an unsuccessful class. The new housing plan had shufhed us off to dormitories all over the campus. We were not, as our predecessors had been, all together on Easy Street. We did not have their feeling of class unity. Last fall. The Exoniml made a few attempts to change and lead the school. Abolish varsity sports, they cried, and when no one listened, abolish Cum Laude. No one was interested in leadership or change, in student referendums or oblong yearbooks. We were more interested in drinking ginger-ale from champagne glasses, listening to French songs, and letting our imagi- nations wander, or when the spring term came, in just sitting out on the grass in the sun. Although we did far hetter than most classes on the college hoards, we were not intellectually inclined. The second page of The Exzffiiiili was no longer filled with impressions of Sherwood Anderson or the Spoon River Avirbologugy. Instead, we talked about plans for the summer vacation, or about trips to tennis week in New- port. XYC had complaints ahout the school, hut we never wrote on lawns. As a result, we were called a mature, socially attractive group of boys. VVC would rather he polite than talk authoritatively on Schopenhauerg we would rather dress well than have an impressive array of books in our rooms. XVe had learned from the example of last year's class that the students can never really change lixeter, so we accepted the world around us and enjoyed our- selves. A few people made impressive accomplishments. The Dramatic Association produced a musical comedy this spring. lt was colorful. People can still be heard hum- ming the tunes, and it provided two amusing evenings for the school. We were not proud that our class had done this, we merely extended all due congratulations to the people who wrote it and worked for it. ln the Winter term, The E.7C07lfl'I71 puhlished a 52 page anniver- sary issue on American secondary schools. It was an impressive ioh, and The E.l'0llfL1lI was rightly praised for its work. But again, this was the work of a separate group, not of a class. The new housing plan has hrought ahout a change in the tone of an lfxeter senior class. Une cannot pass judge- ment on this change yet, one cannot even say that the change will he the same in classes of the future. But hy destroying the geographical unity of the class, the plan has destroyed the feeling that a senior must do some- thing, must make his mark. And without this feeling, the seniors no longer feel that they have to join some negative or positive crusade, and without water falling from windows and tiresome cries for change, Exeter has hecome a more pleasant place in which to live. Valedictor e Graduation, I have been told, is a time when we should not be afraid of good, honest sentiment. l wonder how good, how honest, this senti- ment really is. l think that this should be a time of reflection, a time for self-examination, for sentiment oiten conceals what we fear to admit. Xve do not know, most of us, what we are leaving. Many before me have tried to explain it. You know what they have said: VVe owe a great debt to Exeterf' But who are we to speak of a debt that we do not even comprehend? They say too that Exeter has taught them to think. l wish l could honestly say this for myself. There are many things that we cannot assess, which we can only determine in retrospect. It is even difficult then, for we soon lose sight of the real Exeter, it be- comes an ideal. VVhat is this school? VVhat has Exeter done for us? These are natural questions, questions which we must ask ourselves. They have been answered before. Some of you may think that an Exeter education is a magic panacea. lt is not, it cannot be. For we are many different boys. Some of us will proudly return to every reunion. Others will evade the Almmzi Bulletin, trying to erase this school from their memories. NVhat will we do? And yet from the beginning of this school up to the present time, there is one common denominator: conformity. And it is a good thing. Perhaps you wonder why l say this. For you know that the Declaration of Independence gives every man the right to be different, to be inde- pendent. Indeed the tradition of this school is based on conformity - but conformity which in turn embodies non-conformity. But non-con- formity is not a virtue in itself, it must be positive non-conlormity. The conformity which l envision comes only from careful thought, from examination. lt is not disgraceful to do what others have done if it is proved to be valid. lt is not wrong to follow others, if one independently decides they are right. Most of us realize that Exeter tolerates dissent, but toleration is not enough. Development, and more than that, encouragement of independ- ence is what Exeter owes to us, this is a great debt, a debt that has not been paid to all of us. The conformist whom I have described is valuable because he makes use of his freedom of speech. XVe all realize that lixeter's success can depend only upon how much it has stimulated us to think for ourselves, if Exeter has meant secure tradition to us, it has failed. If it has been a challenge, Exeter has achieved its success. June Ball After the Class Day exercises in the gymnasium were finished, the seniors with their dates and families went to a tea on the lawn of Prin- cipal Saltonstall's house. Once there, they stood around and chatted. while some waited in line to meet Mr. and Mrs. Saltonstall. There was soft music playing from a victrola in the house, and although the sky was gray, there was no rain. It was a good moodsetter for the coming .lune Ball. The band started to play at 8:30, and most ofthe couples had arrived at the chapel by nine. Lester Lanin was at his customary best, featuring a shapely Indian trombone player named Big Chief johnson. The chief provided much of the entertainment of the evening, both on the trombone, and as a vocalist. The band as a whole was danceable, and their selection of numbers was wide. liveryone agreed that Lester was as big a success in New Hampshire as he is on Long Island. The chapel was not decorated except for various colored lights shin- ing into all corners of the room. Perhaps thc most unique feature of the dance for the seniors was the presence of many faculty members and their wives who had come to enioy themselves, not as chaperones. There were also parents and visiting friends who gave a different sort of at- mosphere to the june Ball. Refreshments of punch and cookies were served in the lecture hall where smoking was allowed. Many of the couples sat and smoked while listening to the music, but on the whole it was a lively dance with many Charlestons, Lindys, and dances from different parts of the country. Intermission time came all too soon, Carnie Louchheim started the show with one of his hilarious shaggy dog stories, followed by the Pcad- quacs, who sang two new songs. Qld Klan River, and Sweet Georgia Brown, in addition to the usual repertoire. After the intermission, there was a brief but chaotic jam session, and the dance continued until the melancholy strains of Good Night Ladies' SCIH everyone back to his dates for the last dance. The clapping after the band had stopped was prolonged, it was the seniors' last dance at Exeter, but it was time to be getting back to the dorm for the customary bull session in the butt room. A few of the couples remained to smoke, but soon after the band had stopped playing, the chapel was silent again.

On Sunday morning two hundred and thirty seniors woke up to the steady sound of a heavy rain outside their windows. This was graduation day, and the annoying drizzle, which had started during the last night's dance, had become an awe- some downpour. lt rained so hard that the seniors could not file into Phillips Church for the Anni- versary Service. They trickled in instead, a few at a time, and took their seats in front of an admiring audience of friends and parents. Almost everyone was rather painfully aware that this was the last church service for the class of 1955, and the deluge of rain only increased the solemnity of the atmosphere. The congregation was thoughtful and practi- cally motionless as the Gloria Parr! and two other anthems were sung by the senior choir. Princi- pal Saltonstall rose to deliver the invocation for the seniors with the green years on their heads. After the congregation had sung UA Mighty Fortress , Principal Saltonstall gave the Anni- versary Address. I-le started off by mentioning a telegram, sent in i935 by Mahatma Cihandi to the students of PICA, telling them that a true liberal education must teach not only literary prowess, but what is more important, it must produce a noble character. Principal Saltonstall closed with john Phillips' idea, set forth in the Academy Charter in Ifbil, that knowledge without goodness is nothing. lfxeter nnist achieve hoth. 'liheicongregatitin rose for another hymn, and the seniors marched even more thoughtfully down the aisle to the march from 'lli7l17lf7i7ll.l'Cl' and out into the cold drizzle. 'lihere was one more step for them lmefore hecoming alumni. lfntil then, they wandered about with their dates and parents, or packed and loaded cars frantically. Ciraduation was to he held in the gymnasium at three o'cloek. 'lihe rain had let up by the time the seniors were marshaled in front of the gymnasium. Some were smiling for parents' cameras, others were talking with dates, most of them were restlessg all were thoughtful. lnside. the parents. friends. lirothers and sisters were chatting nervously. hnmediately' they were silent as the class, led hy' lfirst Nlarshall Sid liaker, walked slowly' in to a medley of marches played hy Xlr.
