He comes from Chicago. He has a nasal Mid-west twang and is a strong advocate of his special brand of religion, of esthetics, of living. He encountered great hostility at first, and collected a nickname llvloosel be- cause he had a better mousetrap for every sort of mouse. He directed plays, advised the Pontefract, put last year's Griffin to- gether at the last minute, taught classes in Sacred Studies, journalism, English, and Social Psychology, coached the tennis team, and had his finger in miscellaneous pies around campus. The thing that made his presence so welcome, in spite of the hostility in the beginning, is his absolutely disarming sin- cerity and his colossal enthusiasm. Pom- fret boys had a hard time comprehending both of these commodities perhaps be- cause Pomfret boys have not seen much of them. But there they were. The class of i952 was lucky to be close to this dynamic personality long enough to realize that both his enthusiasm and his sincerity are genuine. After that, we were able to sit back and enjoy his collections of religions, books, newspaper clippings, neu- roses and psychoses. Some of us, under the impact of these collections, began collections of our own. Others continued their collections. Many of us left neuroses of our own in Dentler's collection. All of us, one way or another, have taken notice of Mr. Dentler and have grown in the experience. ROBERT DENTLER Our third and tourth torm years, Wyatt Garfield was easily the most important member ot the faculty tor the class of l952. He was always around, being our English teacher both years, a math teacher, advisor, coach and the dorm master ot Low- er l. He was more than around. He was the master of diplomacy. Whenever there was a problem land there were plentyl, big brother Cartields door was always open, and, as he wrote on our papers we would discuss . Perhaps the most charming aspect ot his classes was his use of the escape hatch, He would never make an outright state- ment. lt would always be perhaps , Hit you will , or in this context , and, his favorite, this funny little word . He encouraged original thought at all times. For many of us, it was the first time we knew there xi such a thing as origi- nal thought. He was a handy man at a form picnic, and even handler when we were in trouble. But he was handiest of all, just when he was around, giving us his com- pany and his friendship.

L :x 1 f V-'ff Pomfret's annual publication must be judged with its purpose in mind. We who have put the I95Z GRIFFIN together had some definite goals. These goals have shap- ed the nature of this book. We hope they also shape the nature of your appreciation. Various school organs constantly mirror life at Pomfret. The GRIFFIN is one of these school organs, recording our work, play, success, failure, all that we do at Pomfret. But the purpose of our book is not sim- ply to mirror a range of activity. We feel that an evaluation of our activity is neces- sary for our experiences to become worth- while. Evaluation of our life at Pornfret, as well as an account, is the objective' of this book. Our attempt to treat the year through the media of photography, graphic illus- tration and writing builds our evaluation. In formulating the I952 GRIFFIN we also asked ourselves questions such as the fol- lowing: -what makes a teacher of outstanding significance to a graduating class? -who are the people that make up the community we call Pomfret? -what plays and concerts have we pro- duced? -what have the Seniors done of value during their time at school? -how have we progressed in our classes, studies and in our intellectual growth? -at what jobs and in what organizations have we worked? -how have we conducted our athletic ac- tivity? Perhaps you will find answers to these questions in this book. -Rodman Davis I2 1952 GRIFFIN GRIFFIN STAFF Left to Right-Polsby, Davis, below: duPont, Robinson ORGANIZATIONS IOBS-Soaking up the free time of almost all Pompfret students in the upper forms are school organizations. These take the form of jobs of various kinds. Some of them are absolutely vitalg all are important in the overall scheme of things. Students usually try out for these jobs their fourth form year, become assistants and then run the organization their senior year. Some people find fault with this arrangement, because time demands are so heavily concentrated upon old boys in the upper forms. lt is felt that others-second, third and new upper formers-should be given some chance to engage in the all-important experiences that these groups afford.

The headwaiter system at Pomfret is one of the few school organizations that has not progressed noticeably in the last five years. Headwaiter elections are popu- larity contests. The giving of meals at the l-leadwaiters discretion has meant more often than not-favoritism and indiscre- tion. There is great value in waiting at tables, but the present system detracts from this. I3 The Athletic Association has made great progress over this past year. At one point, the A.A. was plagued by silly meet- ings, incapable' officers and the existence of a little group, known as the Athletic Council, The Athletic Council, despite the fact that there was no reason for its exist- ence, used to do all the work. Now the A. A. holds informal, significant meetings, and the A.A. does the work, This is a big step in the right direction, we' feel. Under this new arrangement student employed committees have plan- ned the possibility of having regular cheer- leaders, a trophy case and new interim season activities. The Tuck Shop made money this year. How could it miss? Every recess and at five P.

That's good business. Shrewd managers also added a new machine to their money-making juggernaut. The coke machine, mov- ed outside of the Tuck Shop, had placed beside it a shiny new dispens- er full of orange drink and various milks. These made mints of money. especially during night study hall. This nocturnal swilling gave the Council material for heated discus- sion and aroused the facultyl but it kept us alive until breakfast and made money for Manager Taylor's monster monopoly. Another problem was bottles and wrappers, lots of them. Nooks and crannies of all dorms and buildings became waste-baskets. The Council passed rulings and twice the man- agers closed their shop, but the mess marched on. The Committee on Dormitory Life probed into wastebaskets and behind radiators for microbes and other foreign matter. They found plenty. l-lowever at all times the committee had the right mixture of a realistic attitude and serious standards. Especially under Paul .. 5 iss sw -3 A ENR? its TSX' kc, X t X Bartholet's organization, the dorms picked up tremendously. The Dorm Assistants, responsible for individual floors, despite favoritism that showed up in marks, for the most part tried conscientiously to fulfill their responsibilities in a friendly and orderly manner. Ed duPont and Ted Robb deserve a special pat on the back, for handling Upper Two and still re- taining their sanity. The Motion Picture Committee has one of the most trying assignments in the school. Besides having to select movies for a mob of l5O critics, they cope with problems of finance and prc jection equipment maintenance. Tl' have picked a commendable run films this year. More student mo choice polls and stricter control ove. rowdy audience are two suggestions, however, that would add to the' enjoy- ment of Pomfret's entertainment. The Bank was efficient. Big Ed du- Pont saw to that. He iuggled the books so skillfully that the bank finished its fiscal year under him with a he'althy surplus. The bank was a bit of a prob- lem to the customers. It opened late. and sometimes was short of dough in crucial moments. But through fat times and lean, the bank plodded ahead.

BANK Left to Right-Simmons, duPont E, Polsby, Temple The Vestry served as another charity organization, while still taking care of the Chapel. It interested many of the students in delivering talks. Faculty members also filled in for our bed-rid-- den Chaplain. The Library Committee was a phan- tom committee, Nobody knew they were, but the Library remained neat, the books got put away, and most im- portant, the place stayed quiet. The library gained a maximum number of books without having the floor cave in. Certainly the interlibrary loan service with the Harvard, U-Conn. and Putnam libraries brought the books we needed within reach. l5 Another vital outfit is the Post Of- fice Committee. There were com- plaints during the year of people read- ing their mail while at school meet- ings. It was even suggested that the mailmen be delayed. But the mail came through. Mail letter service was flawless. Perhaps more regular hours for giving out packages would be in or- der. The most singular, extraordinary or- ganization this year grew out of the half course in Social Psychology. Socio- phasic Interpersonal Factoral Formul- ation, or SPIFF, was a study of Pomfret. SPIFF delved into all factors of school life, study habits. discipline, infirmary records, leadership and ideals in order to know more exactly the nature of the school community. The work was for the benefit of the headmaster, the Council and interested members of the school, Many questionnaires, and tests were passed throughout the school. Graphs, opinion papers and themes were pre-- pared and studied in an effort to arrive at some' intelligent conclusions about the school. Results will be printed in book form. School authorities are to be congratulated for encouraging SPIFF, because the findings will un- doubtedly aid the school in growing constructively. -W.

Ulibe untefract The Pontefract's purpose has been de- fined as an organ to direct journalistic skills and as a contact with alumni. In the past, these two goals have been mutually hostile. It seems to us that this should not be the case. Any good newspaper should be a reflec- tion of the community it serves. The fact that The Pontefract is occasionally a poor reflection of the school community can be traced to a well known boarding school dis- ease: we-live-here-all- the-time-itis. Private jokes and schoolboy rivalries turn up again and again in the pages of The Pontefract, particularly in the columns. No consistent- ly informational or seriously critical treat- ment is given to vital school problems for the out of touch reader. At times The Pontefract did a superlative job in catch- ing what the school was thinking lthe Eisenhower issue for examplel, but more often it missed the point entirely. As a medium for entertaining the stu- dents, The Pontefract is more successful. The newspaper finds itself in the silly po- sition of telling students news that they already know, and so the feature articles contain much of the interest for school- bound readers. Of these features, the best idea has been the poll. Pomfret students have been polled in politics, definitions, taste in songs, actors, comic strips and sun- dry other itemsg but all of this has gone into The Pontefract with little attempt to extract real meaning from the results. The Pontefract is a fine activity in teaching journalism, lf you are lucky enough to be one of the three editors or the faculty advisor, you will live, eat and sleep Pontefract for a respectable number of days per month. This practice in the or- dering of chaos is perhaps one of the most exciting educational opportunities at Pom- fret. --N. Polsby PONTEFRACT STAFF Left to Right-below: Morris, Polsby. right: Howard, Bingham, Bartholet POMFRET'S CURRICULUM Pomfret's attempt at college-type elec- tives in its curriculum has jelled into what we now call half courses. The upper forms feel some freedom of choice in their full courses, but most non-required classes re- main creditless, meeting only once a week. journalism, radio, social psychology, navigation, mechanical drawing and many others are unable to stay on the curricu- lum as half courses for more than a year. lt is feared that these only interested- admitted type courses will not grab a foot- hold and thus they fade in and out as the tide. Yet they have the potentiality of val- id permanence in the schedule. Often they have, as in carpentry, an accepted course, plans to shape students' interest into a project useful to the whole school community. Our major subjects supply all that a good preparatory school can, and then some. Our class discussions compare very favor- ably with other schools. Yet a certain type of schedule exists at Pomfret. lt is formed by tacking extra- curricular activities lparticularly singing l 8 groupsl onto a straight tour course plan, Or, those not interested in large activities that are used as half courses have a true half course thrusted upon them. This creates a personal antagonism towards the field, that will kill, rather than foster sin- cere interest. l-lalf courses should never become schedule fillers. lf Pomfret's function as an institution is to prepare students tor the time when they will follow up and polish their inter- ests, at college, it follows that Pomtret should initiate such interests as it is able. The potential tor stimulation at this edu- cational stage is tremendous at Pomtret. Perhaps the toughest curricular problem is the one of maintaining interests in re- quired courses. Sincere experiments have been made in courses such as History, Eng- lish, Sacred Studies and Algebra to expand the study plan into daily human experi- ence. This is a significant and encouraging move from just classroom principles to the realm of principles and practice. Another answer to this problem seems to lie in individual projects. The Biology course and history projects have led the way in encouraging students to seek in- formation themselves, to employ basic re- search techniques. ln many cases these in- dividual projects have led to the richest educational experiences. -Rodman Davis and Gilbert Chapman -..... I t GOVERNMENT Student government presents a difficult problem at Pomfret, just as it would at any boarding school. The crux of the problem is, simply, how much power does the coun- cil actually have? Presumably, the facts that the Council is made up both of stu- dents and faculty, and that the constitu- tion grants them widely defined powers, would indicate that the Council operates on a broad plane of activity. Actually, this is not the case. The Council operates al- most entirely in the sphere of community living and leaves the other functions of the institution to the headmaster and the faculty. Within the sphere that it has defined for itself, the Council has done an excel- lent job. Often discussions have been long and pointless, and sometimes acrimonious. This is, of course, the heart of the demo- cratic process, its strength as well as its weakness. Perhaps Council members at times were a little slow to grasp their responsibility to their electorates. They were occasion- ally content to refrain from informing the people who elected them what they were RECORDS COMMITTEE Left to Right- Harris, Adams I, jackson W. --l . .W . Left 20 ACTIONS COMMITTEE to Right-Robinson, Mr, Swinnerton, Pomeroy doing. This arose primarily from a miscon- ception about the social importance of be- ing a Council member, but happily, boys are learning to conquer this problem. Law enforcement was the principal headache that the Council considered. The old problem--who is responsible for whom -was met by continuing the Records Com- mittee arrangement. The Council also added a committee to take action on var- ious offenses, and on the record. The ac- cumulating of these records is a problem which was untouched during the year. The SPIFF people noted that in the sixth form, the sixteen dormitory assistants received three dormitory marks the whole year, while nineteen non-dorm assistant sixth formers got l45 dormitory marks. This situation meant simply that the records set-up was not as valuable in practice as it appeared to be in theory. The problem of law enforcement remained unsolved. Still, in dealing with many other proi- ects, from sun-bathing to a constitutional amendment changing election procedure, the Council acted as a valuable clearing house. The everyday problems of living at Pomfret were successfully governed. -N.

The reason for selecting plays with a minimum of fe- male players is obvious, but now a growing number of people would like to see the drama group undertake more ambitious projdcts. Ideas for these projects center on two suggestions. Some would like to see longer plays put on, possibly with a girls' school to get the needed feminine complement. As it is now, whenever a second former appears on the Pomfret stage, we are sup- DRAMATIC LEADERS Left to Right-Roudebush, Chapman, Morris, Marcotte. 22 THE DEVIL AND DANIEL WEBSTER directed by Marcel Marcotte with Williom Hall as labez Stone Susan Cameron as Mary Stone Ogden Nield as Daniel Webster Lloyd Cutrell as Mr. Scratch Pomfret November 20, l 951 posed to think he is a girl. This sometimes takes great effort. One danger in this suggestion is that the drama group would consist of mem- bers more interested in the girls than the play, a situation like the one currently plaguing the chorus. No one has quite seen a way around that problem, short of mak- ing the school coeducational. The other suggestion is to institute a half-course in drama which would take up all aspects of stagecraft. lt is thought that this workshop experience would mean more than the present arrangement. This is not to say that Pomfret produc- tions are totally without merit. On the contrary, it means that the Pomfret stage is ready to move on to bigger and more challenging things. Both productions this THE VALIANT directed by Robert Dentler Walter Howard Paul Canham Susan Cameron Rodman Davis Pomfret with 35 as as 35 james Dyke Warden Holt losephine Paris Father Daly rviav 16, 1952 li X year reflect superior lead acting, compe- tent direction and adequate preparation. Still, both The Devil And Daniel Webster and The Valiant fell through. The problems of both productions cen- tered around atmosphere. The Devil stands or falls on the contrast in mood between the gay wedding scene and the grim courtroom. lf played over the proper at- mosphere. the lines of the principal play- ers would gain stature. Lack of atmosphere can be attributed mainly to the inexperi- ence of the extra players. Usually recruit- ed on the spot, their importance to the drama is never fully realized. Essentially, The Valiant lacked sustained tension also. Here, despite heroic effort and rewriting, the audience was not fully enveloped by the drama. Some thought it a grade school melodrama, below Pom- fret's undertaking, The play remained be- yond belief. ln spite of the talented contributions of the leading actors, The Devil and Dan- iel Webster didn't quite make it, and The Valiant died once too often. -N. Polsby 23 CHORUS Pomtret's chorus suttered because it was a multi-purpose body. Some boys joined to sing light glee club numbers. Others joined to sing more serious choir music. Far too many joined not to sing at all, but to participate in the dances that came af- ter the concerts. This last group made more noise than music both in rehearsal and in performance. lt is unwise to measure the choral music season in terms of success, because Mr. Brown has tried for something differ- ent than the highly polished brand of sing- ing Pomtret has grown used to. lt has been the choral director's intention to in- terest people in singing and music as an end in itself, rather than as a vehicle for the exhibition of showmanship. We feel that this approach is valid, and we hope that Mr. Brown is able to encourage more Pomtret people to think along these lines. Beside the mammoth chorus, several splinter singing groups sprang up through- out the year. Billed at various times as The Penguins , Three Shaves and a Haircut , and The Six lor was it Sevenl Sons of Spain , these smaller singing groups fought hard. Sometimes what came out was music. This has been a year of change in the whole conception of music at Pomfret. From the polished productions of the past, we have begun to shift our emphasis to the pleasures ot the experience ot music itself, -N.

They lost all their games, except the one against star-crossed Kingswood, and the snow-out at Salisbury. The reasons for this record are simply injuries and inex- perience. Last year's powerhouse was bad- ly depleted anyway, and when the rest of the veterans were put out of action, refu- gees from the leagues, stepped in and did a really creditable job. Paul Bartholet sparked the club, and Ed duPont, Bait Rob- inson and Mouse Taylor, all out of the leagues, bravely filled the shoes of the de- parted monsters of yore. The football leagues continued in their role as a farm club for the varsity. Wheth- er or not this is a valid athletic policy was a matter of interest during the year. Some people pointed out the value in training the smaller boys in the fundamentals of football, while playing with people their own size. The more powerful argument, however, seemed to lie with the opposite side. This argument propounded the val- ue of football played simply for the sake of playing it-with little emphasis put on skill. For those interested in a high degree of skill, the varsity, with its excellent coaching was available. For those interest- ed in enjoyment of the game alone, the leagues should have been lbut were notl open. 25 lFall cont.l As a direct result of this change in league football policy, in the past three years, the turnout for football has become progressively smaller, and the soccer and VARSITY FOOTBALL Left to Right-back: Obrian, Canham, Robinson, Bingham, McCagg, dupont E Adams D, middle: Smith A, Harris, Coaches Lazear and Mansfield, front Taylor l, Bartholet, Leavitt, Warner, Robb, Burnham, Gaston F. tennis squads have gained in numbers. This fall, in fact, too many signed up for soccer and tennis, and so a ski hill work squad had to be organized. There was still overflow after that, and those people went into the football leagues. The soccer season was perhaps the most exciting thing that happened in Pomfret sports all year. The record itself was a mediocre one-a few wins, one or two losses. The spirit and morale ofthe squad, under the inspirational direction of Mayor john Dempsey will probably give the soc- cer boys the right to wear major letters in the future. Many people thought they saw a need for soccer leagues. Whether this is accur- ate or not will, it is hoped, govern the ath- letic facilities allotted to the various sports. The tennis squad had its usual happy membership consisting of lO 2 tennis players and 9062 non-sport-enthusiasts. The tennis team had a relaxed and gener- ally non-athletic season in the sun. The work squad as mentioned before was made' up of refugees from the athletic fields. Those boys who wanted to work worked. The others got poison ivy. -N.

Every- body wanted to play, and so they play- ed hardf' Whereupon he smiled, ex- posing the two new teeth in the front of his mouth which assured me of the truth in his statement. Besides the spirit of the boys there was another reason for the success of the hockey seasong novice coach j. K. Milnor. Starting off immediately with a rugged pre-ice age program, he de- veloped a close' unity among the boys by his own participation in their work- outs. l feel that the only reason their rec- ord was no better was because their schedule' included top ranking Eastern teams such as Burroville and LaSalle high schools, champion and runner-up respectively of Rhode lsland. Much the same comments can be made for league hockey as well. Ap- parently some of the spirit ot the var- sity rubbed off on them for the ice fairly melted from the heat of the battle between the Achaeans and the lonians. The sixth-formers defied tra- dition and added to the intensity of the fray. Winter squash at Pomfret failed to reach the standards set last year. lt was confined to an intra-mural basis 30 Qi wi' HOCKEY VARSITY Left to Right-back: Coach Milnor, Bricken, Warner I, Drmsun.

Ben Haggin won the squash cup by defeating top-ranked Steve Owen and lay Morris. Varsity basketball was probably the toughest coaching assignment handed out in 1952. Coach Mansfield had a ten man squad containing individuals with extremes of talent and tempera- ment. No two players were alike. lt was a challenging task to get these boys to work together. After the Loomis game l thought he had succeeded. Although the odds were overwhelmingly against the five, they worked as a unit, But in the re- maining games they fell apart again and when they came on the floor against St. Marks in the season's fin- ale, it was quite apparent that there were five players on the court rather than a Pomfret team. The result stands in the score book. 1951 - 1952 BASKETBALL VARSITY BASKETBALL TEAM eff to Right -Chase, Lubin, Morris, ferWeele, Smith A, luhring, Bensinger, Cordon, Temple, Gardiner, Robb, Contra M sf' Id 32 QVIIB. lWinter cont.l The absence of unity on the basket- ball tloor subtracted a tremendous amount of enjoyment from the sport that the squad otherwise might have experienced, The I, V. squad, on the other hand, under the direction of Mr. Lazear, played together, had tun dur- ing the season, and ended up with an impressive record as well. One ot the chief reasons for the suc- cess ot league basketball this year was that the leagues were not contaminat- ed with the deadwood seniors cast oft from the varsity who generally dom- inate the play although they are detri- mental to the spirit of the younger boys. A fine bunch of lower tormers whose spirit and will to play were fos- tered by lonian coach Ben Lubin, gave the taller and more talented Achaean team a few unexpected chills and spills in the traditional series. -C.

Frantic hands grab a hockey stick, two skates that match, sort of, and a scarf. I ran down the hill to the hockey pond-only one glove lost and one catapult into the' snow bank. Shouts cleave' the brittle air. A game starts. Someone scoresg someone fallsg we all yell and scramble over the ice. Haughty Varsity faces lean over the sagging League' rink and jeer for self- amusement. But who cares about them anyway? The glare off the ice softens. Dusk muffles the ringing color of the rinks. Players tramp up the hill in silence. I can hear the shifting hillside snows. Gym windows, blurred by steam from the showers, loom ahead. l 1 Uv: . No photograph of the Ionian Hockey Team ,.

Other school crews had been suppressed too long by the' unde- feated Cooper-Ellis, Rockwell and john- ston fours. The time for an upset had been long overdue. The l9S2 season finally ended the ten- sion accumulated by a fabulous winning streak. The air was cleared for future years, for future winning streaks, By no means was a turn of fortune indicated by the splotchy record: Pomfret crews will continue to row well under Coach Garfield. A loss perhaps more serious than that of undefeated records concerns the vague factor of group atmosphere. A change in tone occurred at the crew lake this year. Especially in the lower boats, the crucial training ground, boys were not handling equipment and themselves as intelligently as in the past. 36 Wi, THE CREWS FIRST BOAT Morgan, Cox Pomeroy.

They receive little coaching and learn by watching professionals. But Coach Mansfield looks at it in a different light. He spends hours working on styles of fielding, batting and pitching with his squad. He works scientifically towards the solution of coordi- nation problems. Most of the credit for an exciting season goes to Coach Mansfield, whose daring strategy pulled out many vic- tories in final innings. His job was rivaled only by soccer coach john Delmpsey's for top honors of the year. League Baseball had some talented participants, as league players go. Pitchers occasionally were the prime factor. Batting became a new league experience. And once' again, the evenly matched Achaean and Ionian clubs provided for a hotly contested series which inject- ed the spirit of competitive play into the group. Captain Woody Rowe's golf squad developed as stead- ily as ever this year. All enjoyed themselves-which is what counts-and a few matches. on the side, made it of interest to the whole school. Due to Mr. Dentler's organization, great advances were made in Spring Tennis. By dividing the group into three categories. varsity, learners and regular players, the squad got more than exercise. The boys were trained as suited their ability. The beginners, who were always slighted in past years, received the instruction necessary for them to play a beneficial game. The introduction of calisthen- ics to the sport provided valuable conditioning. The scheduling of outside matches was another progressive step. -Chuck Henry and Rodman Davis BASEBALL VARSITY Left to Right-back: Strandes, Cole, Floyd, Robbins B, Owen A, terWeele, Schaeffer, duPont E, 3rd row: Coaches Milnor and Mansfield, Warner I, Sharp, Lumbard, Smith, Payne, Hare, Hall, 2nd row: Bensinger, Bartholet, White, Robb, Adams I, Morris, C-ardiner, front: Harmon, Hard, Abry, Fiske, 38 LETTERIVIAN STATISTICS Batting ,,., ab h 2b 3b rbi avg.

This fact makes ac- tivities with groups of girls impor- tant in the school year. Pomfret's dance committee has the function of conducting activities based on the premise that dances make for a more balanced school life. The eternal issue of formality was successfully bridged by Roger Ben- singer's Committee. Fall and Win- ter terms were punctuated by a se- ries of informal dances and a Senior house party. On these occasions a relaxed atmosphere was created. compared with the stiffer tone of the larger affairs. Mutual participa- tion was the key to the couples' en- joyment, even in such weird activi- ties as volleyball. lnspired by Mr. and Mrs. Cole, this year's events were decorated to the hilt. The Spring Dance, with the astronomical total of 59 couples present, had a memorable air of ex- travaganza. Since the size of the dances runs in cycles, this May week end will probably not be equal- led in grandeur for many years. The senior organizers still did not answer the question of a group ac- tivity continuing throughout most of the week end, Couples wishing to create activities of their own found only partial validity in the statement that the school has a serious respon- sibility towards its guests, the girls. A sincere' attempt was made throughout all of Pomfret's social engagements to make the girls part of the activity, and to have them participate. Few groups in the past have recognized this need for chang- ing the role of the visiting girls from something like that in a showcase. The Coles' committee developed the size and extravagance of dances to new heights. That they made an effort to solve the difficulties of a boarding school dance must also be applauded. -Rodman Davis l,,,...4.-1--' Sims Wai' ,def QM I 5 a 5 5 5 63 I?

Exult, O forms, and sing, O sirs, From you all pity's fledg For 'Fifty-two' has passed away, And I stand in his stead. -with apologies to Walt Whitman THE FIFTH FORM Compliments of ca Friend to The Class of 1952 COMPLIMENTS DOWNING COAL COMPANY CLEVELAND OHIO THE EAST COAST'S COMPLETE AERONAUTICAL SERVICE O Beechcraft 8g Piper Sales 8 Service O Custom Radio ancl Omni Installations O Auto-Pilot Installations for Single ancl Twin Engine Aircraft O Charter Service for North America O Flight Instruction O Corporate Aircraft Consultants ASSOCIATE COMPANY ATLANTIC AVIATION CORPORATION Teterboro, N.
