Vol. 70 Spring, 1962 No. 1 EDITORIAL This is America of the mid-20th Century! We are living in an age of washing machines, hidden persuaders, and status-seekers. Our society still provides us with a high standard of living and the hope of advancement. But what good is a nation if the population doesn't take advantage of these opportunities? It is our responsibility, as the voters and leaders of tomorrow, to recognize and to make the most of what our great country has to offer. But before we can start thinking of our own lives, we must first, and fore- most, think of our nation's lifeline which is democracy. The majority of teenagers do not seem to appreciate or realize the importance of the many privileges the govemment provides and protects. To attain the greatest rewards from these privileges, the American society must be educated. In order to do this properly, our educational system ought to be revised. Youngsters in the kindergarten should be taught the values of a democratic country. Pre-high-school students should be taught the internal and extemal threats to our govemment. High school students should be instructed in the techniques required to remove these threats. And finally, in college, students should be trained to carry out the necessary programs needed to preserve our freedom. But we need more than just new teaching. We need a strong sense of loyalty to and a firm belief in our government. Our patriotism should be genuine and constant Cnot the kind that can be tumed on or off like a T.V. setj. Colonel john Glenn has raised the country's morale. And now it is up to us to see that it doesn't fall. I am concemed with preserving our freedom, because I have been made aware of our diminishing freedom by reading two of Aldous I-luxley's novels which deal with the conservation of democracy. Mr. Huxley feels, as do many contemporary writers, that education is one of the main forces in maintaining a free and strong nation. Most of these authors, including George Orwell, C. P. Snow, jacques Barzun, and james Conant, have a sense of urgency. Hence, we must begin now, at prep school, to take it upon ourselves to find out more about this land of ours, how it grew from men's dreams, and how it was paid for with the price of men's lives. We should learn not to take things for granted, for God gives and takes as He sees fit. We, at Rogers Hall, can do our part by taking full advantage of every opportunity available to us. For in order to achieve personal goals, we must make sure our government is strong and not corrupt. The best way to ensure a good society is for each individual to have a good, strong educational background. Prep school and college come but once, and life on earth, also, comes but once. These are our challenges, and we must meet them. If we do, we can have freedom in our Brave New World and in 1984! TRAGEDY TEACHES Tragedies sometimes happen Throughout the life one lives, These are the lessons God teaches, These are the lessons God gives. Looking for light in darkness, Perceiving in death Cod's way, This is understanding gained, This is wisdom to stay.

I glance at the cities that never have rest And the wide countryside where peace was best. ! I gaze at the valleys, then everlasting streams, Where so many times I'd create silly dreams. I view nature's wonders, man's love and hate, And see precious gifts people discover too late. Seeing these things, the good and the bad, I understand why men are happy and sad. Then thinking to myself and wondering back, If I had the chance would I ever retrack? After thought, I decide that I'd not. For my home now is a paradise spot, But I truly wish that everyone could see, One profound glimpse of this eternity. Here there's sunshine, never any rain, Existence without confusion, turmoil or pain. This life is so different from anything taught, But one which brings ultimate peace when sought. Here I have found the utmost in understanding, A world of leisure, no demanding. Yet I know not when people will see, That I mourn for them, not they for me. Louisa Bnooxcs '64 FATE Elucidate please, Why is it so? How to comprehend, , Please let me know- Can it be altered? By determination some say. Are you as bewildered, By this mysterious, veiled way? ANNE I-IOCKMEYER '63 REFLECTIONS ON THE SPACE AGE I fear to look toward heaven now Upon a dark, clear night, Seeking stars and finding but A roaming satellite. I fear that in a year or so, To take the dear moon's place, Will spin a thousand man-made stars In God's once-ordered space. Rurnns POGUE '62 EVCLUTION As the public of today is well aware, Natalie Wood and Richard Breymer starred in the movie version of West Side Story. They are usually also aware that it was derived from the Broadway show of the same title, and most know that Leonard Bemstein composed the famous songs and lyrics. Yet few realize the interesting and historic background of its basic plot. Contrary to popular opinion, West Side Story was not derived solely from Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet. It has been said: ML Laurent's book did not try to paraphrase the Romeo and Juliet Story, but instead used it as a reference point or suggestion for the development of the theme. One must also note the fact that Romeo and jttliet was not purely a Shakespearean creation, for the idea was captured from a myth of Ovid written in 8 A.D., the myth in this instance being Pyramus and Thisbef' If one is not familiar with Pyramus and Thisbe or Romeo and Iuliet but is familiar with West Side Story, one knows the basic plot of the two young people existing in the realm of forbidden love, their fleeting chance to escape the impending forces that are preventing this love from materializing into marriage, and the tragic ending of death. One thus has the information necessary for following this story back through the centuries. Ovid, as an individual, was interested in women and love. In 8 A.D. he was banished by the Emperor Augustus, because his works were too corrupt for the Roman Youth! Pyramus and Thisbe was one of these works. Reflecting the atmosphere of that era, Pyramus and Thisbe was a myth to explain the color of the mulberry tree. It embodies a pledge of undying love, fiery passion, desire, and the search for happiness and unity. Yet the lovers had a barrier, for their parents forbade this love. Appointing a time and place to meet, the lovers were planning to run away. Yet as in Romeo and Iuliet and West Side Story, the tragic ending, culminating in death, was inevitable. Thisbe, upon waiting for her mate, was approached by a lion. In fear she Hed and dropped her cloak. When Pyramus arrived, he spotted the cloak and thinking his mate dead, killed himself with a dagger. Sensing all was safe, meanwhile, Thisbe returned, found Pyramus dead, and, in anguish, killed herself as well. William .Shakespeare, living in the sixteenth century, discovered the old myth and adapted it to the age in which he lived. He used the same plot, but he added the idea of chivalry. As the age was more complex, the story was more complex. Hatred and jealousy were involved and the desire for self-determination was demonstrated. The hatred and the jealousy were not in Ovid as they were in Romeo and Juliet and West Side Story, but the desire for self-determination was apparent in all three. Here, too, the search for happiness led,to inevitable death, the same ending as in Ovid. Yet to reHect the changed times, Shakespeare eliminated the lion and substituted a sleeping potion. As further indices of the changed times, a fight between jealous suitors took place, and the final destruction was achieved by the use of poison in place of the dagger. The Shakespearean era passed, but Shakespeare's works endured. They can apply to life today. Even though Mr. Laurent used the plot as a reference point or suggestion for the development of his theme, West Side Story could well be considered a modern Romeo and Juliet. The hatred is there-the hatred between the parents of the lovers, the jealousy is there- the jealousy between two suitors, the desire for self-determination is there- the resolve to take the fleeting chance for happiness by running away, and lastly, the tragedy is there-death. The ending is similar to the previous two but altered somewhat to meet a later age. The lion and the sleeping potion are replaced by a gang fight, the expression of jealousy is replaced by a struggle with knives instead of with swords, and the destruction by daggers and potion is replaced by that of a gun. Yet contrary to the other two, the heroine lives on. Why is this, one may ask? What are the three trying to prove? Could the conclusion of West Side Story indicate that in our age the idea of self-sacrifice for love has diminished in importance? Are we able to recognize the death of a lover isn't the end of the world? Is it that as human beings we are better able to face reality and to recognize that under any circumstances life must go on? ELIZABETH SEMPLE '62 SPECULATIONS OF A SOPHOMORE What is humor? Is it the character of a person or the expression and wording of a joke? What is laughter? Is it that overwhelming feeling that completely takes you over or the boisterous noise that shows understanding? What is fear? Is it the things you can't explain or the somethings you can't face? What is emotion? Is it what one lets in from without or what one must let out from within? VIRGINIA 'MARTIN '64 Q Huff?

It covered the world in a blanket of white, Only to be shattered by man's hurried I-light. Once man awakened, hurried not to be late, I knew that that splendor would only abate. But this day I had seen it in dawn's early morn, Something to cherish as something newbom. LINDA TAFT '64 REALITY In spite of our intellects And high-Hown talking- We can only go on Plodding and walking. Com BRYER '64 CANDLE IN THE DARK She walked fog-swirled People passed. She saw their eyes cutting grooves in the sidewalk Two young men sunk under felt hats Arguing tepidly. She straightened her shoulders, Tightened her stomach, Stared, Forcing their eyes to lift- But no, Dead, they did not reach her through the mist. She walked fog-hid. People passed, laughing I-ligh and happy. These people she lived with . . They, warmed by friendly fires . . . She, frozen out, Her eyes boring holes in the passive snow, Too beaten to try to reach their eyes. And now the fog closed in. She no longer saw the eyes, No longer felt the sting of cold Outside. Her fog held her. She drifted Down and down She walked fog-lost. No sun nor moon nor neon light Could pierce her dark. Then one day a candle came Glowing-soft, And stayed with her! And gently, Gently the mist cleared. And she lit her small wet candle from that Fire so warm, Fire whose closeness Never burned. CONNIE TUCKER '63 H , 0- -1 - ,.. ' ' ..

BETSY SEMPLE '62 THE SITTING OF A STATUS-SEEKER I entered the train bound for Boston with an air of confidence in- consistent with my nature. Carefully I surveyed the seating situation and found my choice limited to sitting with either an old nun or a freshly-scrubbed Yalie. As I am fairly close to being a normal American girl, I chose the latter. Fraught with suitcases, coat, books, and other miscellaneous articles associated with those returning to prep school after a week-end, I walked with assumed fearlessness to my predetermined seat. With a sigh of casual- ness, almost boredom, I allowed the gallant lad to put my suitcase on the rack overhead. Inside I was shaking. My black-gloved hands commenced to open a pack of cigarettes. Obviously, this was one of my first attempts. Again showing gallantry, he lighted my cigarette. We spoke few words. Rather I might say I stuttered a few replies to his wise questions. But I suppose it was a typical train-ride conversation. As I sat there preoccupied with the task of creating the impression of a suave, ever-so-experienced college girl, I failed to notice a rather tremendous suitcase looming in the rack above. This suitcase was above average in both size, and, as I was later to learn, weight. Meanwhile my chatter with the Yalie continued. We discussed Vance Packard's The Status Seekers. I-Ie spoke articulately on Packard's main thesis. I listened. My mother has always told me to say nothing when in doubt. When I again started looking at my copy of The Status Seekers, CI use the word looking at to differentiate my action from readingl, I had been little enlightened by the listening. Then again, I was too busy trying to make an impression to learn something. The train bounced on. We sped under 3 bridge, hit a rather pronounced bump, and, lo and behold, the suitcase, previously looming above, had fallen mercilessly upon my unknowing skull. Needless to say, this was not only a painful experience but an embarrassing one as well. Recovering, I asked myself just what the experienced college-girl would do in this situation. The questioning was to no avail. The experienced college- girl's life, in general, is void of such unfortunate experiences. After the initial blow, I remember hearing the Yalie, now with eyes bulging in disbelief, saying, Are you okay? His concern was genuine. After all, it was his suitcase that had indented my scalp. To make things worse, a rather boisterous woman sitting in the front of the car announced to the population who hadn't seen the accident that the suitcase had fallen directly on my head. Consequently, everyone looked over at me. The blow had dazed meg the woman had embarrassed me. I still at- tempted poise. I thought a cigarette might relax me, so I proceeded to light the filtered end. Enough of this impression stuff, I thought to myself. The remaining miles on the way to Boston were filled with easy conversation and genuine relaxation. I had closed the book, put away the cigarettes, and started playing myself.

Sometimes Maggy's pretty eccentric herself. Not that Maggy's sick in the head or anything, but it's crazy to let little things which are perfectly normal become upsetting. Poor Maggy! Let me tell you about Maggy. Then decide for yourself. Is she or isn't she? Maggy's a friend of mine, we live together. There that reminds me. She's not domesticated. I like to put magazines opened up to a certain page all around the room just so it looks pretty. But Maggy CI don't know what's wrong with her!D stacks them all up neatly, and Cget this ! D she actually thinks she's being neat and proper. Poor Maggy! Maggy's a very narrow-minded person. When I tell her Kennedy's no good and that Goldwater is perfect, she just says that Kennedy is our President and that we are stuck with him anyway, so why fuss? What does she know anyway? She doesn't read any right-wing newspapers, and that's all I read. I have animals on my bed and naturally every night I say good-night to them just so they won't get lonesome. Well, Maggy stares at me the whole time I'm doing it. You know what else she does. She throws her animals Cshe literally throws theml on the floor. She certainly isn't very sensitive, and I can see she's one of those people who think animals are stuffed. Poor Maggy! There's something wrong with Maggy's mouth, too, Cnot that it's misshapen or anythingl. It's just that sometimes she doesn't like to open it and gets very mad if I open mine. But, I have to open mine to tell her what a mess the world is in. Then she asks me if I'm finished before I'm Hnished, but I just have 'to keep on telling her what a mixed-up man Kennedy is. Then she just picks up and leaves. Poor, disturbed Maggy! Now you know it's Maggy who is not too well. But I really can't tell Maggy that she belongs in Danvers. You see, Maggy's my friend.

He is a neurotic sort of a boy. He likes jelly sandwiches, Charles Addams, standard gear, Bullwinkle the Moose, and overripe bananas. When he is not at home in bed or lecturing on the ancestry of Adolf Hitler, Superman himself is down at the local hobby shop, a smoke-filled pigeonhole, ruled over by one Tony Alderose, demi-god to what Mom describes as not our type. Here David and his assorted friends listen with admiration and stupefaction as Tony relates to them the ingenious way in in which he got a Marine officer to sign his discharge papers after only three weeks. Although David has never been a Boy Scout, he has always been pre- pared for all emergencies which call for our boy to conjure up a fantastic story to get himself out of a punishable situation such as the time he backed the car into the garage or the time he ruined a man's three-thousand dollar lawn in a half-hour. Here is a boy who has a very special gift that only a few possess - the ability to make people laugh, sometimes even at themselves. Dave's humor is of the Charles Addams caliber, subtle and sometimes even morbid, yet funny and quick. He is a boy who is lighting a one-man battle against the entire world, a battle which, l think, he will someday win and during the course of which become a stronger person. Yet this one-man army is afraid of the dark! Is this a man or a mouse? Neither! lt's a nut. ANNE RECNERY '64 'fligvi if V Y .-FJ vi 5 wiffrtw a g, 'X ,U rv, N ik' ww.

The name of this resort is Elgin, and my, it is a beautiful resort with horses and boys and just about everything! It's well, I might as well admit that it isn't an exclusive resortg it's a seclusive one. My mother doesn't think I know what it is, but I do. I'm smarter than she thinks, for I just look stupid. It is a big place, and it accomodates about seven hundred of us at a time. Although it is rather large, I know all the escape tunnels like the back of my hand. Elgin is located in a beautiful spot, with lots of trees and green grass, and is surrounded by an extremely high brick wall with an electric barbwire fence running along the top. None of us knew what the fence was until Bobby, curious to find out, climbed the wall to see. Bobby found out. We always told him that curiosity killed the cat, but Bobby was deaf so he never heard us. At the back of the property is a large pond well-stocked with sharks and other fun fish. .Sometimes I just like to go out there and sit quietly watching the kids being dragged under. My brother sent me a pet croc, and tomorrow I'm turning him on Warden Roberts. I-la, Hal Then maybe I'll get kicked out of this nut hole and go home again to an abnormal but fun, fun time. Sometimes I even get to go out and talk to the guards who stand outside the wall in pretty uniforms. The guard I talked to the other day probably thought I was a nut or something, because he wouldn't say a word to me until I took my hands from around his neck. He should be in here, not me, boy, oh boy! Ch, there goes May Lou jackson running across the lawn, I wonder if I'd get sent home today instead of tomorrow if I showed her my croc instead of showing him to the Ward. Adolf, oh, Adolf! Come to Mama. ANNE REGNERY '64 A SCHEMER OF DEVICES I thought to myself as I walked down the dirt road to the stable, what a glorious, brisk, September day for riding my horse. As I approached the dilapidated stable and house, I knew the owner, Tom Dryer, would be one person who wouldn't appreciate my enthusiastic mood. Immediately after knocking at the door, I heard groans from within. Was he dying, having a heart attack, or what? Quickly I rushed into the living room where Tom lay in a prone position on the couch. I asked him if I should get a doctor. Oh no, don't bother, he said. The pain isn't too bad. It was then I realized that this neurotic little Irishman was up to his usual theatrical tricks and was playing upon my sympathy. My only trouble was that I fell for it every time! If it wasn't a fainting spell while watering the horses Cin order to get me to do itD, his excuse was backtrouble from pitching hay Cagain, for the same reasonD. Tom must have been quite the Don juan in his day, because at the age of eighty-Eve he could still capture my heart. There was something about that wiry Irishman. Was it the way he wore that drooping green felt hat that partially covered his eyes or was it the sweet smell of hay and horse combined with a touch of whiskey? Then maybe again, it was the way he said, Damm it! with such elegant tone and genuine sincerity. Tom hardly ever spoke a friendly word, and he truly believed that he hated the world and that it, in turn, hated him. The only things he really loved were his horses and dogs, and they were trained to obey upon immediate command. Upon them he lavished an affection which was touching, and they in turn provided an uncomplicated companionship. What a sight it was to see his three tremendous Weinmarianas scramble to the back seat of his old '54 Ford to accompany him on his weekly shopping trips! Like three stately old ladies, his canine companions protected him from the world he feared. Perhaps it was because I knew how very devious his defenses were that on that September day, as on many other occasions, I gave up all thought of riding and settled for a bit of Irish philosophizing. SANDRA SCHINIIDT '62 THE SUPREME GERUND JOCKEY I shall never forget Mr. L. Yes, his name has already vanished from my memory, but his eccentric personality and outlandish appearance shall forever be imprinted upon my mind. To start at the beginning, Mr. L. was my seventh-grade English teacher. To say he was eccentric is really quite deceiving, for he was unbelievably strange. Morning after morning he would boom to some unlearned scholar that, certainly, grammar is spelt with an a and not an ue. His lips and face, purple from the cold, brisk air, would quiver with excitement as he told of gerunds and nouns. Quickly he became involved in his beloved world of English. In minutes his figure was transformed. The once neat man was now a mass of wrinkled clothing and unruly hair. I-le was now absorbed-nothing, save the bell, would or could stop him. It had begun. He was off. Then ...... it was over. The bell had rung, and the spell was broken. lt would return ...... tomorrow when we heard the roar of his deep voice saying, Boys and girls-it is the most magnificent of ALL studies, the study of words. The mark is there-the phenomenon of seeing his person pacing the freshly-waxed floors of junior high, sputtering verbs and phrases before an unrelenting audience-himself and the world.

I was making my way down a busy streef at the height of the rush hour. The wind was sweeping around the corners of the towering skyscrapers. I could hardly see through the blinding snow. All of a sudden a gigantic and over-powering figure was approaching me in the snow. He was the most unforgettable character I have ever met. This character was making his way with an old white cane. He was dressed from head to toe in a heavy, pea-green, coarse canvas material. The top and sides of his head were covered with a flat piece of green cloth which was shaped like a green box. His outfit was tied by long narrow strips of brown leather. His hands and feet were also bound in this leather. His massive body was covered completely. He appeared to be a stately pinetree with snow covering its branches. Who was this man? Closer and closer he approached me until I could see the very wrinkles on his brow. This strange being had a peculiar face. Huge snowflakes fell on his bushy eyebrows. His piercing beady eyes seemed to penetrate me, while his old weather-beaten face revealed a life of sadness. His luxuriant growth of beard covered all but his cherry red nose, his eyes and his brow . . . Who was this man? At first l thought him a clown, then a man advertising something. When he was within a short distance of me, I became filled with mixed emotions of curiosity and terror. Who is he? Where is he from? What is he doing? Could he be harmful? Is he sick? Is he unhappy? As he disappeared into the snow, I wonderedto myself . . . who was this man?

My feet shuffle noiselessly in the soft, white snow. The small, white Hakes drifting down from the vast, dark sky sting my face but melt with the warmth of my skin. Emerging from the trees, I can see much untracked snow by the pale light. The moon sheds a glittering shine on the snow which sparkles like many diamonds. The stars twinkle in their dark-blue setting, and the night is still. The trees, heavily burdened with snow, shelter the sleeping creatures of the forest. Continuing, I come to a small ice-covered stream which meanders through the forest. As one sees this picture of beauty, she realizes hou' generous Nature is to man.

SALLY BEGG '62 INEVITABLE ? Bustling cities Mounds of steel The golden sun A young green Held. Inquisitive people Passing life Vast blue skies. Radiation- the world dies. SALLY Giuanu '63 THE TREMENDOUS POWER OF MAN What is man? I-Ie's an animal made up of bones, flesh, and blood. As a biped, he can walk on two legs and is free to use his arms for protection or food-getting. But these things aren't as important as the God-given power of intelligence. For man is an animal with the ability to think. Homo sapiens is able to transmit ideas from his brain to his muscles, thereby creating energy to change intangible ideas into something tangible, visible, and structured. And since man is a thinking animal, he also has emotions. Man is able to laugh, to cry, to love, and to hate. But then, too, man can be so inspired by sight, sound, or just his imagination, that he can compose some- thing like The Messiah or The Star Spangled Banner. In addition, the human species is capable of choosing between right and wrong. He is capable of forgiving and forgetting. Man is capable of founding and protecting a democracy or a dictatorship. I-le can write a Constitution and a Declaration of Independence or a bond embracing anarchy. He has the ability to build skyscrapers, turnpikes, and subways as well as hydrogen bombs and missiles. l-le can follow blindly the thoughts of others, or he can think for and by himself. In short, man, as a force in the world, can create or destroy. KAREN Boorn '62 M- , O W I. fm... qyvlf mf' 1 .1 WI' - -- 'ie-4.4-ef V -5, 13, H 'N 5 614.4- 'QAHY a if Q, . 6' o s. EEL W3 LM .

Pauls Curran '65 DARKNESS She could not see, she could only listen and hear the drops of rain sporadically falling to the pavement. She felt alone in her dark world with only the sounds of the warm spring night around her. There was the scampering of some small, wet animal which brushed past her, but then it was gone. Everything was gone from her sight. All the beauties of life with which she was once well acquainted were no longer. I-low solemn and lonely she felt now with only the warmth of nature to hover over her. She was alone and lost in her world of blindness. God, why did you do this to her?

There's a large bam out behind it That's used for storage now, But not so many years ago It held a horse, a pig, and cow.

The subway came to a screeching halt, steam hissed and sputtered at the abrupt stop. Faces peered out of the water-stained windows. Maybe, Carmen would not be afraid and lonely after all. The light in the subway car was inviting. Carmen tried to smother her fear and jumped on the subway with her cumbersome red rubbers. Her shiny black hair fell limp and wet over her shoulders. After being quite awkward in settling herself, she searched for enough courage to look at the many unfamiliar faces. What do all these strange people do and are they friendly? The smell of a wet cigar enveloped her thoughts. She could not remem- ber Papa ever smoking such a thing. What did the man look like who had the smoky cigar? Carmen looked up with cautious black eyes. She did not want him to catch her staring. His senile eyes penetrated through Carmen. Hatred was in his eyes. His eyes were cutting deeply into her heart. A salty tear fell from her downcast eyes. She was alone and afraid. She could sense someone looking at her again. ls everyone cruel and full of hatred? All seemed to have a specific destination, heedless of those around them. Carmen felt so very small and alone, as though the world were rushing by, trampling on the warmth and love she desired to share. The smothered emotions that she wanted to express were brought to life by a kind voice. A wrinkled and disheveled old man approached Carmen. The two generations seemed to have complete understanding of one another. The decrepit man said, Smile, my child, you're so very much prettier when you do. just at that time the subway made several harsh jerks that jolted both Carmen and the old man. The old man was gone, but he had taken her fear and created a smile. She now looked out the window without fear and with pride. .She was proud to be alive. When had the rain stopped? JANIS WooDwAnD '62 RECOGNITION OF AN ALL-PERVADING GRAY This is the street that I have walked down every morning for twenty- seven years. I am on my way to work, but this morning I am acutely aware of all the colors that surround me. I have never looked at New York this way before. It is odd that it should take one twenty-Seven years. The buildings in New York stand massive and gray, decorated only by brilliantly-colored neon signs which Hash on and off. They often remind me of little lightning bugs in a field on a warm summer night, except that the color of the lightning bugs doesn't vary as these signs do. I cross the street and enter the park. The trees have just started to tum their bright-orange colors. They are like little flames encrusted all over the trees. The shrubbery stands, well-clipped, around a row of dead tulips, which are gray and wet from the morning dew. The park gets rather depressing at this time of year for me, because I enjoy the freshness and pastel colors of spring and summer. Now the pastels are all gone, and the dark winter is heading in. I only see reflections of tiny yellow butterflies chasing each other over a pond of crystal blue water. After I have crossed the park, I walk on to an enormous blue-gray boulevard. It often reminds me of a rubber band that stretches around the world. I suppose this is so because roads contain no special beauty, they are just there to serve a function. I cross the boulevard and enter the building in which I work. The building is a dingy gray, just like very other building in New York. It may seem odd, but the more I study the majority of people in New York, I End that their hearts are gray also- Com BRYER '64 THE PERSON I OUGHT TO BE God, make me good and make me care, Make me a little less anxious to dare.

MARCIA BURNHAM '62 TIME Time has a way of passing on. Like the swift sun setting and the coming of dawn. But if on the calendar we counted each day, The hours would not run but waste away. Our lives are young and full of hope, Yet there are things that stump us and with which we cannot cope. So we lift up our hearts and keep looking on Hoping spring will be coming and so, too, the dawn. Yes, time has a way of racing on, But we must use it and not be its pawn. CRETCHEN GATES '64 THE MAIN LINE OF PHILADELPHIA The Main Line of Philadelphia is a route of the Pennsylvania Railroad which extends from the city to Paoli, a small town about thirty miles west. In between these two stations are many small cities and towns which are also referred to as The Main Line. This is the cluster of communities which have become famous because their citizens adhere always to tradition. The Main Line is properly considered one of the most beautiful areas in the United States. The houses are large and of Georgian architecture. The vast, rolling lawns and the majestic ancient trees add to the natural dignity of the area. A spotless, black chauffeur-driven car is usually seen in front of the white-pillared doors waiting for the owner. There is an order in these communities which dates back to the eighteenth century. In recent years, however, a new species of Mainliner can be found, for modern developments are fiendishly spreading around the older settle- ments which are so rich in tradition. Identical modernistic houses now crowd small, square plots of land. Masses of drying laundry and unhidden trash cans destroy the natural beauty of the landscape. Usually a flashy new con- vertible is found at the doors of these contemporary houses waiting for the inappropriately overdressed or underdressed owners. The traditional Philadelphian and the modern Philadelphian differ in many ways. The traditional Philadelphian leads a patterned, formal life. I-Ie emphasizes the development and support of philanthropic and cultural activities such as the theater, the symphony, and the opera. The old-line Philadelphian works hard for the Boy Scouts and the Y.M.C.A.g he takes personal responsibility for the education of his children. He and his forefathers have made the rivate schools of Philadelphia among the finest in the nation. The ladies of Philadelphia who follow the traditional pattern belong to garden clubs, play bridge, and enjoy teas. They also play golf, ride horseback, and admire the antiquated farmhouses as well as the natural beauties of the area. They prefer the small country-style shops, and they love to collect antiques. These ladies know when to wear white gloves, and they would N EVER go into the city without wearing a hat. Although the modern Mainliner frequently has vast financial resources and tries hard to understand the ways of the area, he usually has a difficult time. I-Ie fails to realize that the traditional Philadelphian type of life is more than certain activities or more than a certain manner. The modem Mainliner fails to realize how much of the behavior of the traditional Philadelphian reflects his beliefs. The modern Mainliner has brought large department stores to the area because he has neglected to appreciate the special quality and intimacy of the small shops. Similarly, he lacks firm tastes and his most extravagant purchases fail to give him the satisfaction of the traditionalist. The new Mainliner prefers owning the most ostentatious car to sending his children to private school. If he should happen to attend a symphony concert, it is merely to be seen. He is always the one to talk about the cultural advantages of the city but never the one to enjoy them or to help support them. The differences between the two types of Mainliners are particularly apparent to the young people of Philadelphia.

Nothing in the world is a more beautiful sight than the sea with a sun setting against the horizon or than white sails against the beautiful blue background. No matter if one is on land or sea, it is a beautiful sight The sea allows her children, the waves, to frolic with one another, to dance gayly against the rocky coast line, or to amuse a small child on the beach by lapping at his toes. What could be more beautiful? The sea has more than beautyg it has the power to pacify the depressed and the lonely and to comfort them. The melodious ringing of the waves is like a lullabyg it can hush away one's fears. To sit and listen to the sea's orchestra is to be swept away to another world. As the Waves roll out, so do one's fears and sorrows. The waves have completed their dutiesg they have captivated the human mind and placed it under a spell. What could be more soothing? Although the sea stimulates and soothes the mind, it may ruin it. As one walks along the shore, he cannot help but become aware of the waves' loud laughter as they dance over his feet. But as they roll back to sea, they have a come-hither sound. Many men have followed this sound but have never returned to tell of its origin. The sea seems to find this amusing as she allows her waves to frolic along the shores as a mother allows her children to do. She does not seem to be afraid of man nor of all his earthly powers. She is willing to take him for herself, like an alluring siren in a fairy tale. What could be more violent?

Now at night I steal' along the beach Where the ocean is as black as ink. I stop to wonder why a graveyard is white, And then in my grave I think. When the long moss hangs perpetually, When the ocean begins to cry, When the eels lie dead swept from the sea, Then that is the day I die. I hear the unwanted bell in the tower, For the thirteenth time doeth chime. My feet draw cold and cower While my heart is eaten by lime. When the long moss hangs perpetually, When the ocean begins to cry, When the eels lie dead swept from the sea, Then that is the day I die. But down from that tower abandoned long an age, I hear a voice cry out. Of my life at close, of my death repose, I hear in sudden rage. The long moss hangs perpetually The ocean is crying low. The eels are dead swept from the sea I died not knowing how. PRUE CARTER '65 1 SAILS AGAINST THE SKY Summer is the time for fun. If I had a choice, to the sea I would run. For there one can find Peace of heart and soul and mind. The white sails Howing in the breeze With the wind they move with such ease In many colors red, blue, and white Tumabout, Bluejay, Catamaran, and Snipe They skim along the water's edge. They sail against the land's ledge. Then comes the day for the big race. WVho will make the fastest pace? Spinnakers of many colors With no wind who would be the scullers? While the boats travel along the blue sea, All wonder who will the winner be? The destination of the boats is known It seems the distance must have grown. The wind blows high, the wind blows low, It moves the sails and makes them go. All hope the wind will keep its pace, So the little boat may win the race.

ANNE BoYNToN '64 KIND WORDS NEVER DIE As we think of our many plans and aspirations for the future, we should not forget our everyday opportunities and obligations. Often we have need to be reminded of the fact that kindness is a necessity in life. A kind word spoken never dies, and it costs so little. Sticks and stones may break my bones but names can never hurt me. As a younger child I used to chant that little verse as a defensive retort to my neighbor who was abusing me with his unkindness. At the time it was a help, but it wasn't quite strong enough to erase the memory of the unkind words spoken to me. Is it true that names can never hurt me? One might try to believe it, but he would only be fooling himself. Many times words are spoken in haste. Words can snap out of one's mouth, find their mark, bite, and start a flame of resentment in another. This flame is like a smoldering ember that just keeps buming until it has bumed out a friendship. Words also can bless. Think of the many times a sincere smile and a warm hello have brightened up your day. It doesn't cost a cent to Say a couple of kind words to your neighbor, and the reward for such kindness is priceless. If the kind words of another can chase away the clouds of fear and doubt and make the sun shine through for you, just think of what your kinds words could do for them. Remember, kind words, no matter how few they may be, never die! MARCIA BURNI-IAM '62 I 5 K 5 5 - 'il A 'mf A 'u-ur' -7 f in if .-X f E w P A 'Nr' I X 9.4.1, 9 LIFE Life is so funny, its ups and its down, The things that go on every day. People are funny, their smiles and' their frownsg The things that they do and they say. Life is so full of the great and the good, It's a shame to put it to waste. As each of us does as we shouldn't or should, Each one of us does it in haste. There are good days and bad days each one of us knows, But each day we must do our best. We should take each day as it comes and it goes And try to forget all the rest. Some people don't care and think it won't matter If they stand outside looking in. Nothing in life comes on a silver platter, But to TRY could bring quite a win. If the day starts out bad, just sit down, count to ten, And grab this big world by the tail. Swing it around again and again And tell it you're not going to fail. Iust stand on your feet and look to the sky, You will have nothing to fear. God will be there standing right by your side. He'll be there very close, very near. Life is still funny, its ups and its downs, The things that go on every day. The folks are still funny, their ups and their downs, But where there's a will, there's a way.

DEDICATION We, the class of '62, dedicate this yearbook to Mrs. janet Dendy. She has been our physical education teacher, our biology teacher, and, also, our friend. Mrs. Dendy has that quality beyond book learning that makes a great teacher. What happened to us always mattered to her. s .I CLARE LANGFORD September 12, 1943 - December 10, 1961 IN MEMORIAM Let us remember the ring of her voice, The shimmering tone of her laugh, The way that she joked, the tears that she dried Of all those who walked in her path. Remember the joy she left in her wake, The spirit she'd make and then save. Remember that she's with her Father today Receiving the joy she once gave. lt's said that the good, the innocent fair, Are taken in youth's early dawn. If we can now smile, though only for her, Her spirit can never be gone. RUTH POGUE EDITORIAL Rogers Hall In Retrospect Look back, my friends, upon the years We've spent in knowledge taught, Upon the laughter, joy, and tears, Upon the wisdom sought. Look forward now, depending on The strength which has remained, And know that what we'lI grow upon Is this small wisdom gained. RUTH POGUE v .1 E 'pau .. . ' . Q -s-M-.. -,,. ,. , Q2 ff.

Our candles still maintain their light, A I-lame that's blessed and ever-bright. The days at school have quickly gone, The time so short from dawn to dawn. But carry on and have no fear Though far away, we always shall be near. And as this year comes to a close, Each mem'ry of the past still glows. You've been our undergrads so true, We've gained and learned each day from you The time is here when we'll be gone, You must stand tall and carry on. Carry on and have no fear Though far away we'll still be near. And now at the end as we each depart, You will be forever in our hearts. MARCILX BURNHAINI Tune: An old camp tune.

MARY MCILVAIN ELIZABETH SEMPLE OUR TRIP INTO OUTER-SPACE Monnrmron : The time is June fourth, nineteen hundred and sixty-two. We are about to enter the mysterious world of outer-space. Contrary to popular belief, there are ten planets not nine. We were on our way to the moon, but, as Rogers Hall graduates, we are being drawn to this tenth planet by some unknown force. It seems that each year on Class Day all Rogers Hall alumnae End themselves on this planet. Today the class of 1962 will have an opportunity to meet Rogers Hall alumnae of every class back to the iirst class of 1892. The reunion is about to begin, for Rogers Hall girls of every vintage are appearing on this mysterious spot. Why don't we listen? I am Nora Nineties and anxious to tell you about Rogers Hall during the Cay Ninieties. You have no idea of the good times we had in this Victorian Era of dignity and elegance. Rogers Hall was a very small school then-even smaller than now. We used Miss Rogers' barn as a gym and played basketball outside on the lawn as well as indoors. We washed up every morning in the bowls and pitchers which stood on washstands in our rooms, for there were only two baths in the Hall then. How primitive we were! In the small dining-room stood three long tables with a teacher presiding over each end. In keeping with the artificiality of the period, and much to our dismay, the fireplaces were never used. We were diligent students, learned Creek as well as Latin, and read all of Shakes- peare's plays. We realized that Boston was the center of the universe, and we delighted in the realization that we were studying in the shadows of the great Henry and William James and Santayana. We frequently took pilgrimages to the graves of the Cambridge Poets Ctexts in hand of coursel, and we knew every tree around Walden. Our only unchaperonedn trips occurred on Saturday mornings when were al- lowed to go to downtown Lowell on the trolley cars. We all went Page and Shaw's, the place to go for sodas and sweets and to put every minute of freedom to its best use. The male Cwhichever way one spells itD was as popular then as now. The Beau Brummels appeared from Andover in the frilliest costumes that were suggestive of the Edwardian Era to follow. How we swooned! As one can imagine, the few males who did appear at Rogers Hall during the prudish Victorian period were always labelled brother or cousin Mail call in- variably meant that distribution of letters in study hall-our one touch with civilization. FLAPPER PLO: I am Plapper Flo and I would like to tell you about the riotous life at Rogers Hall during the Roaring Twenties. This was the period of great social change in America, and even staid old Rogers Hall was affected. You should have seen Miss Parsons raise her eyebrows when the girls at Rogers Hall began to raise their hemlines. How she deplored the artificial look which we acquired with the newly-invented lipstick and the new curling irons! Ceography ceased to rule our social life in the Twenties. We still had our only dance with Lowell Tnech, but the improved train service to Boston gave us an Oppor- tunity to attend the Harvard College football games. Those of us who were lucky put on our necklaces which descended below our waists and the hats that hid Our hair and headed for Cambridge and dates that could last until the late afternoon train back to Lowell. We all thought of ourselves as emancipated females, and of course Edna St. Vincent Millay was Our favorite poet. When the Sacco-Venzetti case rocked Mas- sachusetts, we listened to daily Cand sometimes nightlyj reports over Radio Station KDKA. Our secret vice was a fondness for jazz music. Although the Charleston was not allowed at Rogers Hall, we all seemed to find the time to learn to do it. Even the less sophisticated among us had heard of Freud, and the more sophisticated among us were devotees of the Provincetown Playhouse where Eugene O'Neill's plays combining Creek tragedy and Freudian psychology were performed. In 1927 when we all saw the first sound picture, The Jazz King, and Lindbergh made his nonstop Hight to Paris, we felt that western civilization had reached the ultimate. Where could we go from here? lust two years later when the depression hit, we realized that Utopia was still a dream. The crash affected us all. We had our first Senior Prom without corsages. I wonder if that tradition still holds. WORLD WAR Il WINNIE World VV ar II, was a terrible event and we felt its effects even at quiet Rogers Hall School. It did, however, give it a kind of excitement we wouldn't otherwise have had. Every Saturday night we gathered in the library and received instructions in first aid. In our spare time we untangled each Others' knitting to send to the boys over there, Or we wrote letters to our men folk who needed cheering up. A familiar phrase seen On our demerit slips was using extra butter-five demeritsf' Tfhen too, sand buckets were placed at several spots in and around the school, and when the air raid sounded, we all knew exactly what to do. When I realize what we might have done with that sand or what pranks we might have played during those air raids, I see what a patriotic bunch we were! When the tire shortage became more severe, it became harder to see our beaus at Andover and Exeter. To compensate for our loss we sat around the radio and listened to such songs as I'll Walk Alone and I'll Be Home for Christmas. The belles of the school were those whose dates would regularly bicycle the ten miles from Andover-much to the amazement Of Mrs. lVlacCay who had been a teacher at Rogers Hall during World War I and had never witnessed such devotion. She often wondered if this meant that Phillips-Andover boys were stronger or the Rogers Hall girls were prettier. We never told her the real answer. Bikes were more plentiful! MODERATOR! How different they all seem! It seems hard to realize that it was only twenty-five years ago that Flapper Flo was a student at Rogers Hall. I wonder what changes another twenty-five years will bring. I wonder, I wonder . . . BARBARA I-IOSMER JANET MORSE CLASS PRGPHECY Beep, Beep, this is Sue Smith in the year 1987, broadcasting home from the planet Mars. This is the site of the twenty-Hfth reunion of the world-renowned Rogers Hall Class of 1962. We have especially imported a white picket fence for the occasion, knowing that our class will just naturally gravitate to it. lronically enough the rule of no smoking still prevails, for the atmosphere here is, of course, too thin for lighting matches and cigarettes. Barbie Hosmer who is helping me organize this reunion is standing by to help me greet Cand recognizeb our old friends. Hark, something is descending. 1 cannot quite distinguish this object. As it streaks closer, it appears to be labeled a Beggsmobile. Cur once Miss Begg is emerging majestically from her streamlined ship, followed by five little Tigers! As Miss Begg leaves her ship, what appears to be a shooting star tears through the atmosphere. Ladies and Gentlemen, it is no shooting star. It is our Booties in her souped-up ship, the Splintersl On her way, she has picked up several of our classmates: Brookie Clark and Marlene Cort who have been sunning ever since they graduated and consequently have been perplexing immigration officials in various countries, Becky Forster who is still working for that Ph.D. at Syracuse University, Melissa Klein who is the unpredictable commentator on American Bandstand, and Martha Mattson who has just received her first Cscar Cfor what we don't know, but we have our suspicionsD. As 1 escort my guests to the white picket fence, a piercing Beep, Beep shatters our eardrums. Cenie Magenau and Sue Lumb are appearing with Marcia Burnham following behind-on key. Cenie and Sue surprise us all by not looking a day older than they did in 1962. They obviously have been out of it for twenty-five years because when one lives in out-of-space, one does not age. While they were way out, they spotted Polly Mcllvain's ship floating around Venus in the anti-gravity belt, obviously out of gas. Rumor has it that she has been teaching the sophisticated twist on the new frontier, the planet Pluto, and will not be able to make the reunion. Unfortunately, some of our more ambitious members are also unable to attend this reunion because they are engaged in a Zenith Conference on the planet Saturn. The topic of this galaxy meeting is Inter-Planetary Foreign Relations. Our class -is represented by the following members: Betsy Semple who is representing the Kennedy Dynasty and has just left the White House where Carolyn now reigns Cher brothers give teas for herlg Karen Hansen who is representing Denmark and assuring the cosmos that things are no longer rotten in Denmark, and Karen Hibbs who is representing Newfoundland. Pam Cornwall is also attending the conference, representing the thriving metropolis of Paris - Maine, of course. Clncidentally since Pam opened her Paris, Maine dress designing firm after graduation from Chamber- lain, Paris, France has been eclipsedl Meredith McLoon is representing the fair city of Lowell, so familiar to us all. These distinguished ladies will speak on behalf of the earth at this combined session of the universe. Pam Smith, who is unable to attend because of tie-ups between U.V.A. and Marblehead has sent her best wishes with Paula Morrisey and Sandy Schmidt who have just arrived in a green beetle bearing the insignia, Rogers Hall. As Orwell and Huxley predicted in their novels, the boy-girl relationship was abolished three years ago in 1984. This great social revolution left Miss Morrisey and Miss Schmidt without distractions and perfectly competent to take over the office of Headmistress at Rogers Hall where they are now busily engaged in teaching young ladies how to behave. Under their joint direction, Debby Latham is now teaching chemistry in devoted memory of Mrs. Bentley, Ruth Pogue is teaching the new language of the universe, telepethetic phonetics Ccommunication by thought not sound - Ruth always claimed it was her New York accent that confused Madame SturdzaDg and Chris Cummings who is teaching physical education. Janet Morse is also engaged in intellectual activity. She has undertaken the project of revising the Bible to suit our space-age situation. She is busily engaged eliminating the word earth from all editions. lan Woodward is doing the art work to accompany the new interpretation. As you can see, we, the class of 1962 have been most successful in our endeavors. As we are gathered here on this day, June fourth, nineteen hundred and eighty-seven, we would like to extend our best wishes to all the future graduating classes of Rogers Hall with hopes that they may ascend as high as we have.

The meet began with a sharp blast on the whistle. From then on, there was a long line of events ranging from racing and form swimming to diving. The final score was a rather perplexing 135-135. After some discussion between club ofiicers, managers and swimmers, it was decided that the meet should be left as a tie rather then having another deciding event added to the program. It was indeed an exciting afternoon in the pool room.

The first of these one-act plays, Riders to the Sea, by M. Synge is a tragedy which takes place on an island off the west coast of Ireland. It is the story of a woman who loses her husband, her father-in-law, and her six sons to the sea. At the end when her last son is taken from her she bewails: Nothing more the sea can do to me. The Grand Cham's Diamond by Allan Monkhouse is a mystery-farce which takes place in a London home in 1915. It is the tale of a happy English family which quite accidentally comes into the possession of an invaluable diamond. The hilarious consequences certainly made the play a success. With a truly hne cast of Rogers Hall actresses, the two excellent plays provided an enjoyable evening for all. THE CAST RIDERS TO THE SEA lay M.

The two plays Rehearsal and Thursday Evening by Morley successfully livened the spirits of the already happy vacation-bound audience. The scenery under the direction of Mrs. Dorothy Perloff was outstanding, as was the performance. Rehearsal, the first of the two plays, was the scene of a play given by a Rogers Hall Literary Group. This play illustrates the joys and complications of producing a play. The references to Rogers Hall throughout the play delighted the audience. The second play, Thursday Evening, took place in a suburban kitchen in 1922. It is a delightful comedy about two over-protecting mothers' concern for their own children. This farce shows the advantages and disadvantages of maternal love. These two plays by Christopher Morley, as well as the line cast, made the evening a real success.

THE REHEARSAL THURSDAY EVENING CUMMEN CEMENT PLAY On Monday evening, June fourth, the Bogers Hall Dramatics Club, under the able direction of Mrs. Dorothy Ann Miller Worsham, presented Mrs. McTliing by Mary Chase. Special recognition should, also, be extended to Mrs. Dorothy Perloff for the exceptional quality of the stage settings and to the performers for superior acting. Mrs. McTliing is a fantasy in two acts. Although it produces almost hilarious effects in the viewers, it also conveys a serious message about the proper dimensions of maternal love. The first act takes place in the palatial country estate of Mrs. Howard V. LaBue, Ill, a wealthy woman who has no understanding of her son. When a witch replaces her son with an impeccably behaved but non-feeling child, Mrs. LaBue realizes what she has lost. ln the remaining act of the play, Mrs. LaBue learns that her real son is working in the Shantyland Pool Hall. ln order to develop the understanding she needs, she Works there and recaptures her son's lost love and gains the proper perspective for more effective living.

FATHER-DAUGHTER WEEKEND The Senior Class of 1962 sponsored the annual Father-Daughter Weekend. The fathers of the girls arrived on campus about 12:00 to witness and feast at a cookout prepared by the daughters. To our amazement, we proved to be successful cooks. After lunch, the daughters and fathers participated in a softball game. The fathers obviously won. There seemed to be quite a few pros in the game. It was lots of fun, anyway. At 6:00 we all enjoyed a great dinner and afterwards attended the dance in the gym. We even managed to get a couple of the fathers to do the twist! Evidently a few had been practicing!
