Although the idea of a .rmaller yearhook if not completely original, it if Jomething new at Portfmouth. But we hope that it will he more than a mere novelty, hecaufe we feel that it haf more dignity and franknefx ahout it than hook! of previous yearf. We found the old hook unfatisfactory in appearance, .ro we changedg and, although there waur confiderahle criticixm on the point that we would never have any Jtahility hy con- Jtantly changing , we could never reach a maximum of quality unleff we attempted to hetter that which we already had.

Adams, It is good to report favourably on both the quality and the quantity of Raven material this year. The Editors and their Boards are to be congratulated on a first-class publishing job. Alan Mooney has ably demonstrated his right to an honourable place among that most select company-Editors-in-chief of the Raven. Between Michael Kenney, feature columnisti' and Daniel Sullivan, Who, though lacking experi- ence in editing, combined imagination and fluency in making up the deficit, a guaranteed flow of material was assured. To the ubiquitous Robert Healy, his cameras and his staff, belongs the credit for the high level of Yearbook Ca happy simplification of title from the esoteric Cowll'j photography-nor should their hidden life in the darkroom be left unobserved or unappreciated. Paddy Kennedy cheerfully assumed the thankless task of typing comedy-often under last-minute pressure, Mike Adams has covered Sports thoroughly. Last, but of fundamental importance, John Sullivan, as Business Manager, has surpass-ed most of his predecessors by his untiring energ and efficiency-the Raven is happy to report itself free of debt. The Staff and contributors deserve a rousing Well done I DOM PETER THE BEAVERBOARD . Seafeif: Mr. Clough, Aa't'imr': Mooney, Murphy, J. Bizzozero. Slfzzzdizzgx D. Childs, O'Hearn, Howenstein, Lavedan. As in the past, The Bt?dL'61'b0:ZWZ,, now in its fifth year, continued to give the school its own paper, primed on the campus. Although the paper is lino- typed by the Wilkinson Press of Newport, the actual printing is done by the boys in the basement of the New. The news is divided into the fields of activities, sports, and humor, with special features being Man of the Issue and hook re- ports. This year the Beaverbomd was capably edited by Jim Murphy and Joe Bizzozero. Alan Mooney deserves special credit for his excellence in directing the Activities Board. Bill Howenstein did a fine job as Sports Editor while Wttlt O'Hearn supplied the school with many laughs as Shovel Editor. As Business Manager, Pierre Lavedan kept the B8Ll'L'6'1'b0lll'Ei in black ink. Once again, Dan Childs, who is one of next year's Editors-in-Chief, was Head Printer. Mr. Clough merits special mention for his careful and tireless supervision of the paper. According to the tradition inaugurated last year the HCi1l'C'1'!im!I'lf staff finished the year with an excellent dinner in Newport. O B A. A. BOARD . . . Seuzfed: Murphy, Dom Beds, P. Kennedy.

Williamson, Knoll, Hoyt, J. McDonald. This year, as in the past, the Camera Club started out with very few active members, those on the Photography Board of the Yearbook being the only camera fans to be observed around the campus taking pictures. However, largely through Fred Switzer's efforts, the Camera Club was organized into a flourishing activity, and soon a managing board was drafted to arrange the statutes and club regulations. Following, with the help of Dick Godfrey and Russel Hoyt, the darkroom was painted, and by a well appreciated donation of a print dryer by Mr. Lawrence Hoyt, as well as donations of developing trays and linoleum covers for shelves, given by Bob Healy and Fred Switzer, the necessary working equipment was complete. Soon, though, the cynics began to say, What are the meetings of the Camera Club for? They never seem to do anything. To dispel these objections an exhibition was staged by the club, and it showed that there is good photography technique to be found in the school. The managing Board also dedicated itself to teaching the junior Members, boys with the desire to learn the finer points of developing and printing, the proper darkroom tech- nique. In this manner is the felicitous continuation of an active Camera Club insured. R. H. DRAMA TICS CLUB . Fifi! Roux' Bayne, P. Brady, Tatton, Kent, Hanrahan, Donovan, P.

THE PIRATES OF PENZANCE Reviving a custom of some years ago and to celebrate the completion of a new stage and ptoscenium in the Playhouse, the Dramatics Club presented their first production of the year, Gilbert and Sullivanls Pirates of Penzance , on the last Saturday of the winter term and again on May lOth for the Alumni. In spite of this being a more ambitious project than last year's Pinaforeu, both principals and chorus surpassed themselves in giving perform- ances of exceptional spirit, and the acting of the whole cast was deserving of the highest praise for its effortlessness and originality. The production and costumes were once again handled in professional manner by Dom Wilfred Bayne, while the music and staging were directed by Mr. Carroll Ball and Mr. Anthony White. Special mention should be made of the stage crew, who managed by Leandro Galban, worked with great efficiency behind the scenes. Everyone concerned should be congratulated for the excep- tionally high standard of morale and effort maintained throughout the rehearsals and performances, so making our third Gilbert and Sullivan operetta an un- qualified success.

RICHARD Ill The Portsmouth Dramatic Club after two excursions into Gilbert and Sullivan C Pinafore , last year, and The Pirates of Penzance , early in March of this yearj returned for its late spring production to the historical plays of Shakespeare. The series of dramas that 'begins with the Lancastrian usurpation and its consequences in the deposition and death of King Richard the Second, carries the spectator through the vicissitudes of the reign of Kings Henry the Fourth, Fifth, and Sixth, to end in the defeat and death of the fratricidal Richard the Third on Bosworth Field. This series forms a continuous and well-knit story of crime and its consequences, and in this is not unlike the famous trilogy of Aeschylus which celebrates the crimes and sorrows of the House of Altreus. About four years ago the Portsmouth Dramatics Club gave a performance of King Richard the Second, an historical pageant in which as many as thirty-nine boys participated. This year it offered King Richard the Third, with Padraic Kennedy in the role of the arch-mischief-maker. DOM WILFIQID BOAT CLUB. . .

The Boat Club got under way this spring to one of its most successful seasons. This success was due to several reasons. The first reason was that there was interested supervision by the faculty . . . by Father David and Brother Aidan, to be specific. The second reason was that there were sufficient funds donated to the school by generous benefactors to buy two new Indian Class sloops, Apache and Cochiie. The Indians are twenty-one feet long overall, Marconi rigged, lap- strake built, and equipped with parachute spinnakers. They are reasonably fast and more seaworthy than the Dauntless, which has been with the school for years. It was unfortunate that the Boat Club was not able to represent the school at the Brown Interscholastic Regatta, but due to the class schedules, there was no time for boating. The start, though, that has been made this year toward interest in sailing should carry far. M. M. NXXXQM A-XX FOOTBALL . .

The 1951 football season suffered three very serious setbacks last winter with the departure of Storey, Saer and Haag-three very capable and experienced players. Added to this was the news from the Office of Admissions that few, if any, new faces would be added to the upper forms. With this outlook the coaches decided to install the tricky, new split T-formation. It was a big gamble, but we felt it was worth the try with two fast breaking halfebacks in Switzer and Dembinski, and a hard hitting fullback in Howenstein. We had great hopes for Bizzozero as a quarterback, but they were dispelled after a few days, when Joe was forced to give up the game because of an old knee injury. Spence, Romano, and a newcomer, Hogan, were groomed for the spot and, considering the inexperience of this trio, I must say they did a very fine job. Our returning veterans on the forward wall, Sullivan, McManus, Galban, Adams, and Sheehan, did a very fine job. Along with the new men, they opened holes and did well on defense. We lost Adams after the first game when the pressure of the classroom became too much and Mike had to give up football. Cassedy in his first year of football more than lived up to expectations at center. From the Head Coach's point of view it was a very fine squad to work with, and I wish we could have had a few more victories for the record. I should like to thank Mr. Allen for his help in coaching. To Co-Captains Sullivan and I-Iowenstein, my thanks for the splendid spirit they showed. COACH HEWITT B r E 'vi P BASKETBALL . . . Fifi! rozzx' Suarez, Coyle, Second Vow: J, Bizzozero, P.

When a team is composed entirely of lettermen playing for their second straight year, it is expected to do well in its games. This year's team fulfilled expectations. It swept through all others in its own class, and some that were out of its class, for a record of nine wins and four defeats. However, the lackadaisical play of some of the Regulars in many games kept the scores much closer than they should have been. The potential ability of the starting five flashed on and off, but was seldom sustained for a full game. The question was whether to use a combination with height and ability or one with less height and more hustle. The latter group definitely proved itself superior as the season wore on, as it pulled scores up where the big boys kept them close. The same process was repeated very often in practices when the hustlers outplayed the Regulars who took their positions for granted. It would have been difficult to award letters at the close of the season but the problem was solved 'by seven of the squad who eliminated themselves from the team by smoking. The Tabor game, the last of the season, was played with additional men brought up from the junior Varsity. The score was tied with a minute to go but Tabor won in the end by three points. jimmy Murphy, the captain, playing his third year of varsity ball, set an example of ability and hustle that his teammates failed to follow. He walked off for the second year with scoring honors on the offensive and was far and away the mainstay on defense. Joe Bizzozero and Walter O'Hearn exhibited persistency and competition that earned them the right to displace those with less spirit. Paddy Kennedy's performance was routine at the start but picked up greatly in the latter part of the season. At the close of the season the starting team was composed of Murphy, Kennedy, O'Hearn and Bizzozero, the fifth spot being shared by Fred Coyle and a couple of up-and-coming boys of the junior Varsity.

The first call for candidates brought forth a very large group and it has really been a difficult task to name a first squad in such a short time. We have several returning veterans from last yearls squad, but we are going to need ,pitchers badly. Rumor has it that several new men in the school are real players, if we can get some good weather we shall soon find out. I am looking to Captain joe Bizzozero to have a fine season, and if O'Sullivan, O'Hearn, Goetz, and Boland can come through on the mound, we should do well enough. Fred Coyle, a good catcher, is back with usg first base is open, but we may see George Hammel at that spot. I am hoping for a few good hitters to help us in getting the necessary base hits. The season is long with twelve games scheduled. I hope that we can have a better season than we have hadin the past. COACH HEWITT iii SOCCER. . . Seatezl: Mitchell, Pavani, Hill, Capt.

Wlnen the autumn term opened it was quite evident that the ground on which soccer had been played during the previous season was not going to be available. The news that the baseball area would be used was not greeted with any great enthusiasm. However, it soon became evident that, whatever drawbacks this change entailed, there was a most valuable compensating feature, a considerably increased playing space. Un- doubtedly this factor, in conjunction, of course, with the presence in the soccer squad of a dozen or more experienced players, acquiring all the time ever greater skill and strength, accounts for the consistently high standard of play and for the satisfactory results achieved. The season opened with a victory over a rather weak Browne 8z Nichols, but that happened before! Then came the first, bitter quarter at Fall River, and worst fears seemed to be confirmed. Thenceforward, however, Portsmouth soccer moved on a higher plane than ever before to the climax of that thrilling double victory at St. Georgels which brought the season to a triumphant close. It is not indeed a saga of absolute conquest-such things do not happen overnight. Twice the result was a tie when victory could have been assured early in the game, and, although it was no mean achievement to have held Diman Vocational to a tie here at Portsmouth, there is still something lacking. Too often the well-developed movement has failed to achieve its objective, a goalg sometimes it has been bad markmanship, sometimes the failure to shoot with determination at the psycho- logical moment, sometimes alas! the whistle for Hoff-siden. . . and not because the referee had made a mistake! The outstanding players in an exceptionally good First String were the skill- ful and energetic pivot of the side, Luis Suarez, that flashing figure on the right wing, Jorge Urrutia, and the alway efficient and frequently brilliant last pillar of defence, james Murphy CoAcH ABBOT AIDAN WILLIAMS V 1 s Hx 5 1 3 4.. TENNIS . . . Kneeling: F. Brady, Mann, Suarez, Szamlirzgx Rernick, Capt. Murphy, Cushing, Spence, Coach Dom Bede. With but one match to go on, it's -hard to determine who will comprise the Hrst string of the tennis team. Portsmouth's racqueteers swamped the Providence Country Day team 6-lg there are about eight more matches yet to be played. The squad presents a group that will have more depth than last year's with ability spread more evenly in all positions. jimmy Murphy and Ed Spence played in the first two spots and are likely to hold on to their positions. The scramble for the remaining positions will be on soon. The likely figures to fill the four remaining 'positions will be Buff Brady, Fred Cushing, Luis Suarez, and Mike Mann. The ability of these men gives promise of another successful season. The high interest in tennis at Portsmouth is evident from the great number who have signed up for it, and who have worked faithfully to prepare the courts for play. lt will be a problem to give them all the amount of play they should have with but five tennis courts. When the school enrollment was eighty, the tive courts were more or less adequate, but now that it has risen to 130 plus, they cannot provide sufficient play for all. 1 . Murphy 2. Spence 3.

Hockey is a minor sport at Portsmouth, mainly because of a lack of ice. The team was only able to have two days of practice because the pond only supplied a little natural ice and slush. The competition part of the hock-ey season began on the ice of the Provi- dence Auditorium and ended on the same about an hour later. Portsmoutlfs puck-pushers dazzled the St. George skaters by outscoring them 5-2 in the first half of the game. Sean Cassedy was too fast and aggressive for the defenders and rammed in three counters. Bill Howenstein and John Boland added one marker apiece. Having had little or no practice before the game, the Ports- mouth squad tired fast despite the able assistance of Captain john McManus, Dick Godfrey, and Mike Adams on the defense. The pace began to tell in the second half as St. Georgels inserted their re- placements with which they were better supplied. As a result St. George won the game 7-5. The Portsmouth goal was covered by Dan Sheehan, a man from the swamps of Georgia, who had never worn ice skates, no less goalie pads and gloves. He had to be pushed out into position by two of his team-mates. However, Danny made some remarkable saves despite his inexperience.

According to the system inaugurated last year, there were no prefects, but all Sixth Formers had equal privileges and responsibilities. This method worked well in-dividing among twenty-eight boys the burden of keeping discipline. Several new features greeted us on our arrival: Father Aelred Graham, noted English Benedictine, was Prior, Father Aelred Wall was Headmaster, the new building was taking on definite shape, finally, there was the Portsmouth Playhouse, formerly the Old Gym. One of the first things done was to call a meeting of the new boys and distribute the beanies. Many punishments were suggested for not wearing them, including capital punishment, but nothing much ever came of it. Our first shock was the Holiday Reading Exam. We found out that our senior year was going to be a hard haul. Bill Howenstein and jay Sullivan co-captained a football team that featured many of our classmates, Howie played another year of standout ball in the back- field, both on offence and defense, jay won a berth on the first string all-state team. Gil McManus, Pedro Galban, and Fred Switzer were also stalwarts on the squad, but although the team showed considerable spirit, its record was a slight disappointment. Bob Healy, George Urrutia, and Ed Dominguez once more lent their talents to the soccer team, which this year lost only one game. The end of the season was celebrated by a dance, attended by girls from Elmhurst and Newton. Phil Vicini and Fred Cushing both performed special steps which are now in fashion in their respective parts of the world. As the term drew to a close Al Mooney hurried about, making last minute arrangements for the Fall issue of the Raven. Joe Bizzozero had already been busy for some time in getting the Bemferboawi out every other week. Although there had been holidays for everyone during the Thankgiving Weekend, and for a lesser number during the Honor Weekend, the boys eagerly awaited the Christmas Vacation, which immediately followed the gruelling, toll- taking, term exams. As the winter term began, a change took place in our schedule. Mr. Kelley hurt his knee and was unable to get over to the classrooms. Hence, for the remainder of the term, the trek to the New Common Room was a daily occur- rence. The basketball team had aborbed a licking before Christmas from the Brown Freshmen, but after the vacation things improved. The team finally hung to- gether a record of nine wins and four losses. Paddy Kennedy, joe Bizzozero, Walt O'I-learn, and George Hammel were the real cause of this success. The hockey squad played creditably when it had the chance, but unfortunately there was ice for only three days during the winter. However, there was no lack of snow, but all the boilers held up and we missed no classes. sl , W 3 975 QF sms, X' 'f 25353: NPN? ., ,f .-1,- :-V ,, MQ. - :. M 5? A v f H'1:Ef .

It smembers obtained new equipment and repaired the old, preparing for their exhibition in the Spring. Bob Healy, Fenton Remick, and Fred Switzer were the main contributors. On March 8, the Dramatics Club presented the Pimzer of Penzance, an unqualified successf, Paddy Kennedy had star billing as the Pirate King. One week later were the College Boards, on which so much depended. After six hours of examinations everyone was ready for the Spring Vacation that mercifully started on the following day. On March 51, our last term at Portsmouth began. About a week later our annual retreat took place. This retreat and the Easter services marked the spiritual highlight of our year. Fr. Giles Webster, O.F.M. a Naval Chaplain, was Retreat Master. Next began the hustle and bustle of getting the yearbook printed. The photographers came out to the school and took everybodyis picture. The proofs were of such uniform quality that it was hard to decide which ones to use. The baseball team took advantage of the good weather to start practice early. It looked unimpressive in the first few games but picked up greatly. Captain joe Bizzozero, playing shortstop, led the team at the plate, while Walter O'Hearn was pitching complete games out on the mound. George Hammel and Ed Fitzgerald also held starting berths. After a few weeks of hammering in tapes, the tennis team started competing. It headed for another successful season with Fred Cushing, Ed Santos, and Fenton Remick playing strong games. A few early mishaps hampered the progress of the Boat Club, 'but soon the boys were taking advantage of new boats they had received. Colleges began sending out their acceptances and refusals. All during the day sixth formers would be found running up to the mailroom to find either success or disappointment. But the work did not slacken. We had to finish our two long themes for English besides having to read numerous books. At the Alumni Dinner we saw what we would look like in a few years. It was the planting season and our oak trees started their long existence on Priory ground. The Raven and the Betwerlaoard started competing to see which would furnish the better dinner. Then came the final exams. We had finished our work. On Saturday night the Prom was held, under an almost-full moon. On Sunday, the Sixth Form held its Dinner. The next day the Dramatics Club returned Shakespeare to the stage with the presentation of Richard III. The commencement exercises took place on Tuesday and Portsmouth had twenty-eight more alumni.

CLASS PROPHECY. . The party had decided to meet in the 'bar at Mike Adams, Oil-Well Run Hotel on 14 French Street in Caracas, Venezuela. They were to chart their course up to the headwaters of the Orinoco River where Edgar Ostendorf had dis- appeared, presumed to have been mistaken for a wild bore', and eaten by the savages. James McAllister Murphy, columnist for the Atlantic Monthly, had organized the party and had sent out invitations six months before it was to meet. Most of them had been accepted, but Michael Mann, gambling boss and socialite clubman, wired that he could not go, because, not only was he unable to find the ship docks in New York, but his mother would not allow him to go. Pierre Lavedan, a missionary photographer in jerusalem, was unable to leave his work. And john Sullivan, restaurateur, was in the midst of buying three new eating places and had to stay behind. Among the more useful people appointed to official positions on the thirty foot barge Caracas Queenn were: Paddy Humphrey Kennedy, ex-pirate, skipper, joe Bizzozero, ship's doctor, Mark Mitchell, of bolo-knife fame, head trail-clearer, Tom Flynn, noted fiction writer, librariang Edward Fitzgerald, who does most of his broadcasting without a microphone, radio man. The boat was laden with supplies and gifts for the natives, who were reputedly ferocious. Fred Switzer, who well knew the tastes of savages, supplied the party with licorice to give to the blacks in case there was any trouble. Eduardo Dominguez sent twenty crates of bananas to help the food situation. The pier was crowded with well-wishers and hecklers . Bill Howenstein and jolly McManus, who had taken the places of Bob and Ray on radio and TV and who were doing a tour of South America, flew in to see the barge off. Eduardo Santos, millionaire revolutionist, stood on the dock surrounded by a horde of Indian henchmen, screaming, You'll never get back, Owen Ryan, in the oil business, stood at the gas pump on the pier to make sure the boat was properly fuelled. Jorge Urrutia loped through the crowd on the way to fame by running around the world in eighty days. Alan Mooney, the consul in Caracas, came down with a cynical sneer on his face and wished the party lots of luck-all badf' As the Queen shoved off, it was noted that George Hammel was missing from the crew. He had fallen asleep on the river bank and missed the boat. They chugged up the river for a hundred miles in peace, until, on the fifth day, the cover was seen rising on the life-boat. Spider Cushing unrav-elled himself onto the deck with an opium pipe in his teeth, and started doing card tricks on the cabin top. Leandro Galban, real-estate broker with an eye for small change, managed to buy up most of the land along the banks from the natives for a total of 32.98 in pennies. The natives liked the shiny coins. As they forged further into the interior, the barge, leaking like a sieve, began to draw more water than the river had, and depite Walter O'Hearn's valiant efforts to bail it out with his modern mechanized buckets, it ran aground. While Bob Healy, expert canal digger, planned a way to dig the barge off the bottom, Nick Childs, of ornothology fame, travelled into the nearby jungle to study some birds and draw them. When the signal was given that the boat was free, all hands returned, covered with mud and without washing facilities. Sud- denly, a great red ape swung out of the trees with a sack of soap slung over his shoulder, dropped some soap flakes on the deck like manna, and swung away again. Not until he had disappeared did the crew realize that it was Bernie Flynn, returned to his natural habitat. Finally, they reached a clearing in the jungle where there were fields of sugar cane. On the dock, noticeably fatter, was Chief Phil Wakini of the Um- bomboogie Pygmy Tribe. He made the stay very pleasant, even though he did not tell Dr. Murphy where Edgar was. SF SF 56 S6 After their return to Caracas, the party agreed that the expedition had been a success. Fenton Rernick had made some valuable recordings of Voodoo music which he would sell in the U. S., and they knew where Edgar was-Wakini war fatter! A. M. ACKNUWLEDGEMENTS . . To Mr. Henry C.
