Looking back on our years at Poly we begin to appreciate all she has done for us. The seeds of education which she has sown will begin to bloom as we progress through the succeeding phases of our lives. While at Poly, the class of 1958 has contrib- uted much to all facets of school life. We have many pleasant memories with which to live. As CLASS Prefizlezzl .,,,..,,,..e,, ,,.. ...,,,.,.

As in the past, the entire class made various projects in connection with their work in Social Studies. Some of the boys made maps, while others painted and drew pictures which adorned the walls of their respective classrooms. Wlmile the boys were studying about our South American neighbors they learned several Spanish phrases. Miss Bulls class wrote to their pen pals in Europe. 96 The library class, which was started last year by Mrs. Lilley, was continued this year. The object of this course is to teach the boys how to use their library. Prompted by this course, Mrs. Lamb's class started a library club in their home- room. While the boys were not engaged in formal studies they participated in all the various ac- tivities which are offered at Poly, This year, tak- ing advantage of the unusually cold weather, the boys went ice skating on the Poly pond and, when the snow permitted, sledding on the hills near the pond.

There they had an opportunity to dis- cuss matters that concern them and to participate in decisions which affect their welfare, Through committee exploration, panel discussion, and ques- tion-and-answer sessions under teachers' guidance, the boys gradually acquired effective school cit- izenship. Furthermore, through much practice, they learned the important democratic techniques of conducting and reporting meetings. Several times they were entertained by vocal and instru- mental programs, original skits and choral speak- ing, all arranged by the Program Committee. The Council, in which each group had two representatives elected at eight-week intervals, met fourteen times a year to discuss important phases of group living. Their goal was the promotion of self-direction and good relationship. 98 Lower fcboof Comczf Each boy in the First Form was on a Lower School committee.

The realization of a yearbook is the work of a full year, not just a few months, Though the major positions may not be filled until the end ot' the first semester, material work commences with the spring sports pictures a year previous to publication. The business department mobilizes at the very beginning of the school year, Editorial work begins in the fall and must meet a deadline towards the middle of Marth, The photography department funetions tontinually, pausing only at the summer vat-ation, To toordinate these divi- sions is the job ot' the editor-in-t'hiet'. Somehow the task is completed. and the product ot' each editor joins with that ot' the next, Now the '58 POLYGLOT is ready to take its plate on the shelf along with the titty-eight other books which have borne the rich tradition of the POLYGLOT. The stall' apologizes for any errors that may be found and trusts that they will not affect the books value. It has Hne paper, fine en- graving, and fine printingg but, what is more important, it has inherited the soul of Poly Prep from its predecessors. This we of the Board sin- cerely believe. There are seventy young men for whom this is the last book in the series on the shelf. To them it will always remain lbe 'GLOT. If we have enriched their memories just a little, we are gratefulg for then we have fulfilled our purpose. BOARD OF EDITORS Ijdifor-211-Chief I PIQTIQR A.

Appearing twenty-four times during the year, the 'Cruz brought school news and fea- ture articles to more than 3200 students and alumni. Outstanding in this year's publications were the editorial and the news coverage. Frequent polls made by the Pnlvygwz showed student opin- ion concerning such important school topics as the Honors and Credit system and the driver education program. jeffrey Marlin's poems helped make the ll et1H'y Cf11,if2 one of the finest columns in the history of the newspaper.

This year marked the advent of the Brass Quar- tet which performed for the Brooklyn Heights Christmas Tree Lighting and several other oc- casions during the year. This year's orchestra, under the direction of Mr. john Pearson, is one of the most versatile Poly has seen in years. The groups selections have run the gamut from Rock 'n' Roll to Rimslty- Korsakoff.

Urarnaizb Cfub HE Dramatic Club of 1957-58 faced a seem- ingly insurmountable task of rebuilding, Un- der the expert guidance of the director, Mr. David Winder, and the leadership of the presi- dent, Edward jefifer, the thespians have had one of their very finest organizations. The proof of their success came on December third when the club opened its season with a satirical skit, Mon- ster to Monster, an amusing monologue by Roger Wagner, and a hilarious farce, Dress Reversal, by john C. Gerber. 2 The true test of the groups skill came on the evenings of April 18th and 19th, when The Caine Mutiny Court Martial was presented to two sell-out crowds. This offering was unique in Poly's history, for never had a play been pre- sented which depended so little on the action and so much on the skill of the actors. To create and maintain the feeling of emotional tension through- out the entire performance was no easy task. It is truly a tribute to Mr. Wix1der's fine direction that the cast did so well. k'I'4l ,lII NINIIIIQ up. M IL YLIIIN hum IIN IIQIQIQQI' Pun Ckaink mutinv, DRESS RIZVIZRSAI. f111u111'1l .

UILT in 1925, the Poly Memorial Chapel stands as a tribute to the Poly graduates who gave their lives for their country in Worlcl Wclr l. As in past years, the Chapel served not only as a place of worship, but also as the scene of' varied and informative programs. The Tuesday morning programs, prepared by Mr. Kenneth B. Lucas, offered a variety ot' ma- terial f'or boys of all ages and interests. Harry R. Van Allen, Poly '-f2, addressed the upper school on The Investment Business. Politics as a Career was the subject of a talk by State Assemblyman Frank McMullen, lfred M. Hechinger, Associate Publisher of' the Bridge- port Sfrzidtz-3' Hemfcf. captivated the school as he related to the students and faculty stories about his travels around the world as a reporter. Movies such as Our Mister Sun and The Army-Navy Football Game highlighted the programs on several Tuesdays. The finals of the Bearns Speak- ing Contest, a student debate, and several pro- grams for national holidays afforded an oppor- tunity for the students themselves to participate. Once again educational entertainment held forth as the Chapel programs sought first the interest and second the inspiration of' the student body. i' S in the past, the library under the direction of Mrs. Lilley has continued to satisfy the intellectual as well as the pleasure seeking de- mands of the more than five hundred Poly stu- dents and teachers. The wide selection of current periodicals and the numerous reference and fiction books attracted many students, who, as a whole, borrowed close to ten thousand books. Through the year the library enriched its shelves with the addition of many books. Such books as The Lizlcolu Library of Emeri- lial 111fw'1mzfjon, The Home Book of Qzrolafiom. The Iulermzliomzl Yearbook. and Sfatermefzff lI bo'.v Wim. were purchased through the Lowell F. Bartholomew Memorial Fund which was set up this year to perpetuate the name of Mr. Bart, To meet the demands of the Poly students, the library supplied the school with the New York Timer and the Herald Tribmze. These two news- papers were made available to keep the students in touch with the world around them. Mrs. Lilley continued to give unselfishly of her time and effort to try to interest more students in utilizing the wide variety of subjects which are contained in books. She also conducted a three month class to instruct the Fifth Graders on the proper use of the facilities of the library. The ever-increasing number of books and the fine organization of the library have contributed greatly to school life. Lzbmry Metler swallows olive pn' Tamer S in past years, the junior Prom initiated Poly's social season. Enhanced by the music of Mel Sherry's swinging tive, the dance was a huge success. The occasion was especially mem- orable for the members of the present senior class who attended. Their delight upon seeing their own ideas and scenery put to such line use was immeasureable. The Oasis-Basketball Dance was held February eighth, with a large percentage of the proceeds going to the March of Dimes. The evening was made even more enjoyable by the basketball Clptuns puidise, Girls scare me, team's overwhelming defeat of St. Pauls in the game preceeding the dance. Held in the Quadrangle, under the stars, the Commencement Dance traditionally signifies the end of the school year. By making its Senior Prom a dinner-dance, this year's senior class established a precedent that may be emulated for many years to come. After the dance, which was held on the Garden Roof of the Hotel Pierre in Manhattan, the class split up into several parties that lasted well into the next day. A poor advertisement. Pork and pil Shop HE manual arts workshop, a gift of the par- ents of the class of 1956. is the first fully equipped shop of its kind at Poly since World Wglr l. The director of the manual arts program, Mr. XXfilliam Christopher, has equipped it with the finest in woodworking materials and electric tools. As in the past. special emphasis was placed on the instruction in the correct use of the ma- terials placed at the students' disposal. The Second liormers in the Crafts Club again participated in a woodworking contest. Each boy constructed a lamp and submitted it for consid- eration. The judging was based on workmanship and detail of hnish. In addition other members helped in the construction of scenery for the Dramatic Club productions and decorations for the school dances. The shop's main project of the year was a tea table for the Commons Hall. Made of birch and walnut wood, it required about three months to build. A second project was the construction of book- cases for the library. The new oak shelves are to hold the books of the Lowell F. Bartholomew Memorial Collection. The manual arts department, in its second year of existence, has proved to be very popular with Poly craftsmen. lt has become still another activity to be added to the many that now cater to the diverse interests of Poly students.

Pre- viously the attainment of varsity letters in three different sports was requisite for admission. Since the club was designed to recognize athletic achievement, the members felt that each captain of a team, upon receiving a varsity letter in one additional sport, should be entitled to member- ship in the organization. Throughout the year, the club was confronted with the various athletic problems facing the school. A standard procedure was established for choosing an acting captain in case an elected captain should be incapacitated. The club dis- cussed training rules, the awarding of varsity let- 26 ters, and the possibility of receptions for visiting teams. Mr. Lucas and the entire organization felt that the Varsity Club should mean more to Poly than just a society to recognize athletic merit. Bob Brower, the president of the club, tried to instill in the members a desire to improve the organiza- tion. That this society could be instrumental in making the athletic program, an important facet of school life, more desirable and productive was the belief of both Brower and Mr. Lucas. To this, the club in the past year included most of the captains, thereby representing the opinions of participants in almost all Poly sports instead of those of a select few.

Led by its all-Ivy League guard, Ken Andre- ozzi, the eleven had to overcome insurmountable obstacles: Captain Tony Valerio injured his knee, and Bruce Henningsen, its swiftest and most tal- ented offensive back, was incapacitated with bad ankles for almost the whole campaign. Illnesses and injuries caused many other first-stringers to miss games. The opener at Stony Brook commenced a long, hard season for the Blue and Gray. The fifteen- game winning streak compiled by the undefeated Poly teams of the past two years was ended as the gridders succumbed to a high spirited Stony Brook eleven, This game also resulted in the injuring of Captain Tony Valerio whose valuable services were lost for the remainder of the cam- paign. Acting as captains, Ken Andreozzi and Bill Drucker led the team in Tony's place. When the team played at Far Rockaway High School in a last minute pairing due to a city-wide flu epi- demic, the Blue and Gray outplayed its new rival by a wide margin only to succumb, I3-6, on a last minute play. Breaking their losing streak, the gridders trounced Hackley, 23-6, as Chuck Franco, Ed letter, Gerry Rizzuti, and Mickey Solomon scored the touchdowns. In the next encounter Riverdale first time score. To team was following held the eleven to a scoreless tie, the in live years that the team did not make sure this game was no fluke the shut out by Horace Mann, 26-O, the week. The powerful Hilltoppers thus wrested away the Ivy League crown, worn by the Blue and Gray for two successive years. This game was conclusive evidence of the teams lack Easy lid eases out. of scoring punch. Throughout the year the grid- ders moved the ball well and held the opposition's running game, but could not produce a good scoring play. ln its linal game, destined to be its last under the guidance of Coach Tuttle, the team managed to acquire an even break for the season by de- cisively defeating St. Paul's, 22-7, in the fifty-tifth game of the second oldest high school rivalry in the country. Ken Andreozzi, Bernie Sarrel, Pete Basta, Bill Drucker, and Micky Solomon were the teams stars. The season was marked by a series of bad breaks and injuries. Credit must be given to Rumble.

At the conclusion ot' the season Ken Andreozzi was placed on the All-Ivy League eleven. Bernie Sarrel, Pete Basta, and Bill Drucker received honorable mention on the coaches' selected team. Andreozzi received the jack james Memorial Trophy as the team's most valuable player.

Y winning ten of its eleven games, the 1937 soccer team compiled the finest record in Poly history. The booters finished second to Riverdale in lvy League competition with a 3-l log. Throughout the campaign the squad relied on teamwork, aggressiveness, and a winning spirit I ui uuuu 4 to overcome any lack of natural talent. At the U end of the season, inside Mark Groothuis and halfback Paul Kaufman were chosen by the coaches for the all-league team. Kaufman was also named the recipient of the Holmes Cup for the greatest improvement during the season. The hooters opened their league schedule hy downing Hackley on a joe Generalis goal, I-0.

On goals by wings Raymond and Feldman and inside Guarino, the booters next blanked Trinity, 5-0, and went on to edge out Adelphi, 2-l. jim Bakis scored the lone goal in a I-0 defeat of arch-rival St, Paul's. Goalie Bob Brower was impressive in holding the Saints scoreless. Later, playing on a held that was a sea of mud, the Poly booters, displaying excellent teamwork, over- whelmed the Horace Mann team, 3-l. Groothuis and Bakis tallied while the defensive work of fullbacks john Sands and Steve Hersh was char- acteristically outstanding. Riverdale retained its league crown by shutting out the Blue and Gray, 2-0, Billy LoCurto was the only shining light in the losing cause as he proved his defensive ability. After beating Trinity again on goals by Giustra and Generalis. the booters, with the same com- bination, defeated St. Pauls once more in overtime to close out a most successful campaign. Poly's two-time all-league goalie, Captain Bob Brower, allowed but four goals while racking up .1 record total of seven shut-outs, demonstrating a great leadership quality which paved the way for the team's brilliant success.

Roger Seidel was clocked in 13:18 against St. Paul's at home, the best for a Poly runner during the 1937 season.

Barkeiball OMPILING the finest record in Poly basket- ball history, the 1957-S8 basketball team won 19 of 21 games, The teams 13-l record in Ivy League competition enabled the Blue and Gray cagers to wrest the league crown from Stony Brook, marking the third time in four years that Poly has won the league title, and giving to the school permanent possession of the plaque emblematic of league supremacy. ln the season's opener at Rutgers Prep, Bob Brower established a new single game scoring record of Jil points, breaking Chuck Kaufmairs old standard of 38. After romping at Rutgers, the team had its narrowest margin of victory against Lawrence- ville, New jersey prep title holders. Erasing a fourteen point deficit, the quintet eked out an exciting 50-48 decision on joe Generalis' bucket in the last minute of play. Staten Island P. S. A. L. champions, Curtis, bowed, 69-50, before 158 lirowei' scores twice. the team thoroughly demolished Power Mem- orial, 77--H, behind a 50 point performance of Captain Mark Groothuis. The team entered league play unbeaten and breezed through its first seven Ivy games. In a battle of unbeatens, the Blue and Gray quintet routed defending Ivy Champions, Stony Brook, 83-57, as Bob Brower and Capt. Groothuis ac- counted for 35 points. In the annual Oasis spon- sored night game for the benefit of the March of Dimes, the team tumbled Hackley, 85-65, before an overflow crowd. Before resuming the second half of their league schedule, the team faced Curtis on the Staten Island court and were the victims of a fighting Wiirrior team and of complacency, winding up on the short end of the score for the first time after eleven successes, 52-54. A week later the cagers absorbed their lone loop loss by bowing to St. Paul's, 66-68, in an overtime thriller despite a hue all-around per- formance by Roger Seidel who collected Zi points and 22 rebounds. Despite their two Cle- feats, the cagers refused to be denied and bounced back to win their last six games, successively defeating Stony Brook, Horace Mann, and Hack- ley to dispel any doubts of their claim to the league title and their label as Poly's greatest team. 9 At the season's end Captain Mark Groothuis and Bob Brower were named to the All-Ivy League team by the coaches. Roger Seidel was placed on the second all-league live. Bob Brower was also selected to play for the Brooklyn-Queens All-Stars in the tenth annual high-school all- star game at Madison Square Garden.

Wregfzhg I-IE 1957-58 Ivy League Championship wres- tling team enjoyed a successful dual meet season by amassing an overall record of eight wins and two losses. In its first meet of the year, Poly lost to a strong Peddie squad, 27-15, as Captain Rich Giustra, Chuck Franco, and Dave Lichtman picked up Poly's only wins. Avenging that loss, the matmen downed Pingry, 24-16, with Bob Feinstein's heavyweight victory the deciding fac- tor. Behind eight individual wins, Poly rolled over I-Iackley, 52-13, in preparation for the all important Stony Brook match. Dave Swift, Rich Giustra, Tim Sharp, Dave Lichtman, Chuck Franco, and Bob Feinstein brought honae the bacon with wins, as Poly edged out the Islanders, 25-22. The defending league champs from St. Paul's were next to fall prey to Poly's rampaging squad, 28-18, Fred Tuttle picked up his first pin of the year as Poly barely beat the Columbia Freshman, 16-14. Completely outclassing their next two opponents, the grapplers vanquished Horace Mann and Trinity squads, 37-8 and 35- 4 12, respectively. Falling prey to illness, Poly dropped its only league game to a mediocre Riverdale contingent, 22-20. In the fifth Ivy League Tournament held at I-Iackley, Poly placed seven men in the hnals. Of these seven, live won individual titles: Captain Giustra 0235, Fred Tuttle QISUQ, Dave Licht- man C147j, Chuck Franco f157j, and Bob Fein- stein QH.Wt.j. Dave Swift f106j and Frank Strafaci f1l5j accounted for valuable second places while Bob Bero C1671 and Seth Kaufman Q137j took fourths. Totalling fifty six points, Poly regained the League Trophy won by Poly teams previously in 1956 and 1957 and placed the plaque in Poly's archives as a permanent school possession.

Board Tmcfq FTER an inauspicious start, the 1957-58 board track team came into its own to win its final four dual meets and conclude its season with a creditable 4-2 dual meet record. The runners placed third in the Poly Invitational Meet with 14 points, behind St. Francis Prep and Brook- lyn Prep. Despite a pre-season injury to its great runner, Captain Bruce Henningsen, which restricted him to high-jumping, and despite the fact that there were only three seniors on the entire squad, the runners compiled a record identical to that of the previous year's team. juniors Mike Halperin and Ed Napodano led the team in scoring with 47V2 and 45 points respectively. Both boys showed great versatility by competing in as many as three different events. john Purpura accounted for the only record- breaking performance of the season by shattering Nick Sirianni's shotput mark of 49 feet 7V2 inches with a heave of 49 feet 8 inches in the Horace Mann meet. Richard Perry and Captain Henningsen were consistent scorers and clutch performers in the high jump. Numbered among the Blue and Gray's victims were the P. S. A. L, champions, Fort Hamilton, who succumbed to the young Poly runners, 23-20. After absorbing a 45-23 beating by Brooklyn Prep in its opener, the runners were nipped by Riverdale, 36-32. Following competition in the Poly Invitation Meet, the runners hit their stride. Having reversed their loss to Riverdale by drub- bing the visiting Bronxites, 53-24, the team closed its season by outracing Horace Mann, Fort Ham- ilton, and New Utrecht on successive days.

As the team was composed mainly of freshmen and sophomores, next year's swimming squad looks promising. Fred Bronaugh won Eve of nine races in the 200-yard freestyle and also took five victories in the 150-yard indi- vidual medley. Backstroking his way to glory, George Sherman compiled a streak of f1ve straight wins while Peter Cresci captured four decisive victories in the 100-yard frestyle event. Sebby Scialabba notched eight wins in the dive as John Sands and Richard Nesi both contributed greatly in the butterfly and 50-yard freestyle respectively. Having bowed to Peddie, 54-27, and Pingry, 52-34, the mermen bounced back to overwhelm Fieldston, 51-25. Then, in reciprocal home meet outings, Poly beat Manhattan Prep both times, 45-32 and 56-21, respectively. Competing in a triangular meet with Hackley and Horace Mann, the swimmers were completely outdone by their opponents. The Columbia Freshmen and McBur- ney both proved too strong for the Poly mermen, as the opposition scored 52-33 and 62-32 wins, respectively. Poly regained its winning status by edging out Brooklyn Prep, 44-42, only to fall again by losing to Holy Trinity, 45-41, for the climax. Defending their title in the Fieldston Invita- tional Meet, Poly dropped to a third place standing with twenty-four points. Peter Cresci ended his season appropriately by gaining victories in the 50-yard and 100-yard freestyle events. Fred Bro- naugh and john Sands took seconds in their indi- vidual specialties.

Roger Wagner, high gun Frank Tuttle, and Roger Gromet, the team copped eight victories and missed an undefeated season by a slim tive point dehciththe differ- ence in Poly's only loss, which was in a return match with Lincoln. Previous to this loss the team had rolled over five opponents. Afterwards, it regained its top notch status by commencing a three match win skein to be taken up by next year's squad. The team was rounded out by sen- iors Peter Bluestone, Barry Feldman, Tony Manne. joel Pensley, and Al Voegele. In April, the nimrods competed in the Na- tional Shoulder-to-Shoulder Team Championships at New Haven, Connecticut, where Poly's first team, consisting of Capt. Wagner, Manne, Feld- fic, man, and F. Tuttle, placed thirteenth in the regional team standings. In the past few years the nimrods have shot mostly in two positions: prone and offhand. This year the team added the sitting and kneeling stances in three of its nine matches. The junior members of the team improved greatly as the season progressed. Although Frank Tuttle and Rogert Gromet will be the only re- turning lettermen, another successful season is forecast for next year. The following were awarded P.

HE 1957 baseball team compiled the identi- cal 9-2 league record that carried the 1956 nine to the Ivy League championshipg but the Blue and Gray suffered their two setbacks at the hands of the league champions, St. Paul's, and thus hnished third in the integrated standings of the two-division system. The teams overall record was nine victories and six defeats. The Blue and Gray batsmen opened their campaign inauspiciously by absorbing shutout de- feats from Madison and St. Paul's. The loss to St. Paul's proved costly as the team lost the services of its captain and star, Phil Hertz, who suffered a broken hand and was forced to miss eleven games. In his absence, jerry Pearlman and Bernie Sarrel ably handled the catching chores. In these opening two games the ballplayers found themselves unable to hit the ball well, collecting only two safeties. They began to come to life, however, by defeating Hackley and Adel- phi in league encounters. Throughout the campaign the team was plagued with the loss of its captain's services. Hertz, a powerful slugger, had led the team in home runs the year before, including a drive into the Harlem River at Baker liield. Phil was determined, nev- ertheless, to have a championship team, and in- spired by his fighting spirit the baseball nine compiled its enviable record, losing only to St. Paul's and defeating Trinity of the Northern division to maintain third place. Witliotit doubt the most versatile ball player in many years was Tony Montalbano, Monty was the team's leading pitcher, leading hitter C.598j, and a top-notch left Helder. The recipient of the Herbert Bohnet Trophy as the teams most valuable player, Monty did everything I ever asked of him, said coach Harlow Parker. Coach Parker also had praise for his sophomore short- stop, third-baseman, and right helder: Pete Basta, Mickey Solomon, and Paul Kraus respectively.

The team next competed in the Penn Relays at Franklin Field, Philadelphia. Al- though no points were earned, the tracksters gained invaluahle experience which was evident in their next meet. Collecting I2 firsts in l-I events, Poly overwhelmed Riverdale in prepara- tion for the oncoming Ivy League Meet, whith was held at Hofstra College.

Captain Bob Elkins was presented with the Alumni Lacrosse Cup for his fine held play, both offensive and defensive, Rarely has a Poly lacrosse team compiled a winning record for an entire season, for the In- dians are always up against stiff competition. Playing against teams of college freshmen and battling prep schools with long established la- crosse background and experience, the stickmen always face a hard season. Thus, the record of four wins and eight losses of last year's lacrosse team does not represent an unsuccessful campaign. Losing its Hrst two encounters to strong squads, the Indians came back to edge out Peddie. Later in the season the stickmen achieved a three game winning streak, an enviable feat. Bob Elkins, a two year letter-man was the captain of the squad. His capable leadership and inspiring play led the team throughout the season. Along with Elkins in midfield were Ken Brad- ford, Steve Lebowitz, and sophomore Tony Siri- anni. Sparking the Indian defense were George 150 McKenzie, Dave Gurland, and junior Chuck Franco. Backed up by their efforts, Jim Nova and Jeff Marlin were able to lead the attack. Jeff led the team in scoring with twenty-one goals, In two separate contests he pushed past four goals, a remarkable performance. Also outstanding was the hustling Poly goalie Ed Reiss. Ed let by C0111- paratively few goals and thereby contributed greatly to the teamls successes during the season. Reiss was elected captain of this year's squad. Although a great many mainstays left Poly, the return of Chuck Franco, goal-getter jeff Mar- lin, goal-tender Ed Reiss, and midfield sophomore Tony Sirianni promised a strong, successful In- dian team to be coached by Mr. Williain Griffin in l958. The following were awarded P. P. : Captain Elkins, Beckler, Bradford, Franco, Glick, Gur- land, johnson, Lazzaro, Lebowitz, McKenzie, Nova, Marlin, Reiss, A. Sirianni, and Manager Fishman.

The team was greatly handicapped by a lack of seasoned veterans. Captain Roger Bermas, recipient of the Waterman Cup, Steve Weinstock, and Neal Evans proved to be the most dependable performers. In their curtain-raiser, the Casemen bowed to Pingry, 5-4, in a thrilling match. The team bounced back to defeat Brooklyn Prep and james Madison. Hackley and Barnard nipped the net- men by identical 3-2 scores. Behind the singles victories of Captain Bermas, Weinstock, and Evans the team upset perennial league champions Horace Mann, 5-2. The Casemen then took two of their next three matches before bowing to Trin- ity, 3-2, and thus losing their title aspirations to the newly-crowned loop kings. Trinity's junior Davis Cupper Larry Nagler provided the needed spark to overcome the Blue and Gray's Spunky competitors. In its last match of the season, the racqueteers bowed to Riverdale, 3-2. Captain Bermas and Evans were the only re- turning lettermen. Thus, with Mr. Case rebuild- ing his squad while seeking latent potential, the team compiled an unimpressive record. After establishing a combination of Captain Bermas, sophomore Steve Weinstock, and junior Neal Evans, the team discovered winning ways. Mr. Case has great hopes for Poly's success in 1958 with the return of Captain-elect Neal Evans and promising Steve Wfeinstock. Steve obtained great experience this past summer playing with stars of other high schools and colleges. He has been taught by great professionals as well. He, along with Evans, and a few other senior netmen -Feldman, Pensley, Ellsworth, and Sands-may bring Poly its first championship. The following were awarded P. P. : Captain Bermas, Evans, Hunter, Wfeinstock, and Manager Kartell. Cfzpfain: Roger Bermas. Coach and Family Advirer: Mr. Case. Mazinger: James Kartell. Dr. Lambert, Raymond, Sandler, Graham fCaptainj, Valerio, Strafaci, D, Heymann. QW ED by Captain jeff Graham, the linksmen enjoyed another sucessful season by amassing an 8-3 record. Protecting a hfteen match win skein accumulated over a two year period, the golfers brought the string to eighteen before being halted by a strong Curtis squad. After im- pressive wins over St. Peters and Fieldston, the team was narrowly edged out in matches with McBurney and Curtis by identical 3-2 scores. Playing inspired golf, the team overwhelmed its last three opponents by lopsided scores, thereby ending the season on a satisfactory note. Captain jeff Graham was consistently out- standing as he had been the previous two years. Losing but two matches to the same Curtis op- ponent, Jeff was continually in good form, play- ing excellent golf and often scoring under 75. He was a semi-finalist in the animal Eastern In- terscholastic Golf Tornament but was defeated on the 25rd hole after a four-hole sudden death playoff. Frank Strafaci, the son of Dominic, one of the famous professional Strafaci brothers, while only a freshman, promises a strong future for both Poly and himself. Tony Valerio, playing his first season of varsity golf, along with Pete Siviglia and Willie Raymond rounded out a group of top New York City schoolboy golfers. Dr. Lambert was pleased to find all members returning for this season with the exception of Siviglia. Great success is truly in store for the linlcsmen.

This year the Italian Club, or Mediterranean Men's Club, has continued to distinguish itself in all phases of school life, though possibly in some phases more than others. Living up to its basisc principles of liberal aristocracy and 181 constructive dissipation, the I. C. has planned and partaken of many gala social events or friv- olities, coeducational and otherwise. We point proudly to our membership made up entirely of noble and unquestionable personages. One glance at our dignified group portrait will reveal an abundance of class officers, athletic lead- ers, and academic luminaries, not to mention those boys with more latent or subtle talents. Of course as is always the case, one is bound to run into a lunatic fringe of faulty reasoners who would have you believe untruths about our organization. To them we confidently say Oh poop! and Get thee to a nunneryf' In conclusion, we of the I. C. of '58 extend to our friends our good wishes and to our members, a sincere plea for back dues to pay for this ad, so that President Andreozzi can get his brothers car out of hock.

Boy, Siegel, you'd better watch your step. I've been hearing a lot about you. On page 655 there, will you read, Kaufman? What Reiss? Sure you can take your ten minute talk from Confdential. Weiswasser, shut the window. You know this is the coldest room in the school. By the way, Elligers, I understand the next editorial's going to be a real scorcher. No. Sully didn't tell me. Boy, I tell you this seventh period takes the cake. You guys think you can come in here and fool around, but you'll be surprised when the marks come out. Tarulli, will you read, please, the first column, page 655. Say, I see in the Neuzr here where Lighthorse Harry Truman is sounding off again. You know, Dr. Allen never allowed tabloids in the school .... I wouldn't he surprised if this depression were the work of Red agents . . .
