I Vol. XLVII Monday, October 26, 1953 No. 3 FACULTY PROFILES SPA DR M PROGRAM OUTLI ED EDMUND C. BRAY Edmund C. Bray came to the St. Paul Academy in 1951 and took over the Chemistry-Physics de- partment for the 5th and 6th forms, and also lower form science. Since he has been here, he has at- tained increasing popularity with both students and masters because of his amiable character and sharp sense of humor. His classes are extremely enlightening and have a certain scientific atmosphere which enables the students to take a real interest in their work. Mr. Bray was born in Taunton, Massachusetts. He attended Mid- dlebury College, Vermont, and re- ceived a Bachelor of Science de- gree. From there he went to Brown University and attained a Masters degree, and then went to Harvard and the University of Minnesota to work as a research assistant. He taught Science at Stanton Preparatory Academy pre- paring boys for West Point and Annapolis, and then went to North- wood school in Lake Placid to teach. After some time there, he was drafted. Later he was taken out of the army and appointed as a naval research physicist in Wash- fCont'd on page 21 Council Notes By Tom Milton The business of collecting for the United Appeal was finished with several forms exceeding their goals. With most of the money in, the problem of how much should be given to whom arose. After some discussion it was decided that S200 and S150 will be given to the Community Chest and the Red Cross, respectively. The remaining amount of the school total is to be divided among other organizations later. The Football Dance was set for November 6, the week following the Blake game. The Council de- cided to allow members of the Second Form to attend, and to send invitations to some outsiders. The prices were set and a Dance Com- mittee was to be led by Mayo. The Senior Class is responsible for suc- cess of the Dance, welcoming help from anybody. The program for the registration of student drivers With the Council is to be continued with some ad- fCont'd on page 41 Academy Members and Director of Drama Quartet: Driscoll, Mr. Chapman, Frenzel and Bacon, D. Advice Suggested Wheeler Company On Atomic Attack Wins Competition By Marsh Hastings Dr. Hanns Schwyzer spoke at the Academy on the ways we could help to cut down the casualties if there should be an atomic attack, there should be an atomic attack. He gave several rules which we should follow under any circum- stances. In the event of an alert, we should all go to the nearest base- ment and stay there until an all- clear was given. A battery radio in the shelter would tell how much time was left until the plane would reach the cities, and, no matter how much time was left until this time, we should not attempt to leave our shelters. In the shelter, we should go to the corner nearest the center of the explosion and stay there. There should be enough food and water in the shelter to last for several days, and other helpful articles would be an axe and a first-aid kit. All windows should be closed with blankets over them to cut down the danger of flying glass. The main switch of the house should be pull- CCont'd on page 23 Once again the sharp screams of the officers cut the fall air. The deep red face of the platoon com- mander contrasted to the pale white face of the new cadet or the cold mask of the older boys in the ranks. These are the scenes which take place every Tuesday, Wednes- day, and Thursday. The first test of the companies was to take place Tuesday, October, 13. However, due to an officers meeting, the date was moved back one day. Thus Wednesday, October 14, the first platoons took the field against one another in competition. After the battle, Stafford's first platoon from Wheeler emerged victorious with Varney second and Boyke and Gervais tied for third. All the pla- toons showed many weaknesses. However, these are being remedied in a great hurry by hopeful officers. On the next day, the second pla- toons entered competition. The screams were more profound, but when the smoke cleared the results were as follows: Second platoon Wheeler came out on top, fCont'd on page 41 By Dick Hoskins The other day, through an inter- view with Mr. Chapman, your re- porter learned of a very interest- ing program concerning drama for this year. It seems that the fall dramatics program is not yet in definite shape. However, the pro- gram will definitely commence with the try-outs on Thursday, October 22. The fall play is sched- uled for the evenings of November 21 and 22. fThe play is a comedy entitled, Father of the Bride, by Edward Streeter.J Besides the fall play there are other interesting drama and public speaking events planned. One new and very progressive program is the proposed Drama Quartet. The group, as now planned, would be composed of Rick Driscoll, Don Bacon, Pete Frenzel, and a Summit School student who would be pick- ed out at Summit drama trials, Wednesday, October 21. This quar- tet will have a highly interesting program in the Way of drama. The plan is most interesting since it represents an innovation on the part of Mr. Chapman. We all know fCont'd on page 42 . Date Decided for Football Dance The Football Dance will open the social season this year at the Academy. The student council has set the date for November, 6. The dance will be held from 8:30 un- till the customary 12:00 deadline. Forms two through six are invited, but the second Formers may stay only until 11:00. The admission charge is 51.00 per couple and 51.25 stag for the upper Forms, but second Form will pay 30.75 per pair and 81.00 for the lone wolves. Any proceeds will go to the Stu- dent Council Fund, although the dance is primarily a non-profit function. The affair will be in the Wheeler Gymnasium to the music of John Junkin and his band. This is the first of three dances throughout the school year, the Christmas Party and the spring Now and Then Dance being the other two. We hope you all come and enjoy yourselves at the 1953 Football Dance.

MCT Team Routs Shattuck, 19-0 Traveling to Shattuck on Friday, October 2, the C squad, under the capable coaching of Mr. Chapman, emerged victorious over the Shad freshmen team, 19-0. The game got off to a fast start when, on SPA's second play from scrim- mage, Andrews tossed a 40-yard pass to Whitman for the first touchdown. The extra point was made, making the score 7-0. The Acads followed this up by scoring one more touchdown in the first half, this time on a 60-yard run by Andrews. The game was cli- maxed in the second half as An- drews again scampered into pay dirt, this time on a 90-yard end run. ln this encounter, the team sparked by Collins, Milton, Sommers on defense, and on XVII S and offense as the scoring column in- dicates, by Andrews. The team spirit on the whole is quite good, and the results of this game indi- cate a very successful season ahead for the club. St. Paul House PROFILES fCont'd from page lb same time gave Coach Rasmussen a good deal of help with the Var- sity. He also coached J.V. basket- ball and baseball, and had good seasons in both sports. When we look at his athletic record in col- lege, we can see how he does the job. He was a letter winner in both baseball and basketball at Wil- liams, and in baseball at Holy Cross, and was a member of the football squads at both colleges. When asked what he wanted most to see at the Academy, he replied, 'tbigger and better football players on the J.V. squadfl It is easy to see why Mr. Scho- field has been so well accepted at the Academy. The younger boys no longer wait to attain the top two forms so that they are nearer to graduating. They want to get there so that they can take Mr. Scho's history.

Associate Editor Peter Frenzel ....... Sports Editor Bill Budd .... George Burr .. Norb Winter .......... Circulation Roger Countryman . .Photographer Editorial Staff: Dick Hoskins C. Tilden Ted Koch Rod Bacon EDITORIAL An idea has been floating about recently concering this year's var- sity hockey squad. It concerns plans for pre-season practice at Williams arena, possibly in early November. Mr. Bratnober is con- templating on getting together with other twin city MISL mem- bers on the purchase of large blocks of time, with this time be- ing subsequently divided among the respective teams for their per- sonal use. We can't think of a bet- ter idea for the promotion of var- sity hockey. It certainly would add additional interest, and would tack on another half month of the season. This would prove very val- uable to future varsities, as well as to the present one. The editors see no reason why such a plan can't be worked out, unless the arena's schedule is already too crowded. After all, the city league teams have a similar setup, and certainly the Academy has proved it is just as good competitively as these teams. We wish Mr. Brat- nober luck in his proposed en- deavor. Plf sk PF CONCERNING YOU! This year, as in past years, the Now and Then is sponsoring a lit- erary contest. Several years ago, the entries hit an all time low. Since then, the number of entries has been rising steadily, and this year, a somewhat expanded liter- ary program in the Now and Then is planned. The period for entries will be all year because of the crowded Spring schedule. The win- ning story will be printed in the Now and Then, and the winner will be presented the Now and Then Cup at the graduation cere- monies. This may be your chance for fame and glory, so get started on your story, peom, or play NOW! . . . . . .Business . . .Advertising ington to work on under-water acoustics. When he finished his job in Washington, he went to Willis- ton Academy to teach. From Wil- liston, Mr. Bray came to the St. Edmund Bray Paul Academy and this is his third year here. I think we can truly say that he has admirably held up the Science branch at the Academy and has successfully carved his way into the spirit of the school. By Rod Bacon. Quota Reached! THIRD FORM DOES IT AGAIN! The Student Council decided that the school should collect S534 for the United Appeal Fund. It also decided how much each boy could afford to give toward a class total. The class totals were added up, and the drive commenced on Monday, October, 5. The class treasurers and vice-presidents col- lected the money from each class. A percentage chart was posted in the Dean Room which was kept up to date on contributions. The Third Form shot ahead in its usual fash- ion, for it has won in the last three years. On October, 12, it crossed the finish line of 100W to win again. The school has now reached its quota, too. Congratulations to the school on a job done rapidly and thoroughly. Jazz Concert By Ted Koch The annual concert tour of Jazz at the Philharmonic played in the Minneapolis Auditorium on Friday, October 9, for its 13th year. This is presented annually by the Los Angeles impresario Norman Granz. He has originated a group of some of the most famous and original jazz musicians, and lets them pre- form in their own creative manner. The whole programme is unre- hearsed. Each artist in taking a solo puts forth his own ideas. When the whole band joins on the chorus, every man, although im- provising, blends in with the rest. Besides, making his annual tours, Granz has recorded a series of sessions in which the artists are actually playing under concert conditions. The first of these was How High the Moon, recorded in 1949. There is a definite feeling generated between the musicians and the audience. Practically every paid artist has appeared some- where in the 15 J. A. T. P. Albums. Just to name a few, there are: King Cole, Gene Krupa, Lester Young, and many more. The concert of '53 was divided into two sets. Set one was a jam- session by the Whole ensemble, with individual soloists. The tunes were the J. A. T. P. Blues, The Challanges, The Balad Medley, and the drum number. Set two was a medley by the Oscar Peterson Trio, and some blues and skat-singing by Ella Fitzgerald, the greatest thing 'that happened to jazz , who in my estimation didn't quite live up to her reputation and ability. However, the most outstanding performance was undoubtedly the alto work by Benny Carter. ATTACK! tCont'd from page 15 ed, and all appliances should be un- plugged. All through the talk, Dr. Schwy- zer very ably got across the idea that an attack was possible, and that we should not ignore it. I think that if we here at school fol- low these rules, in the event of an attack, we will all have a better chance of survival. From all outward appearances, the hockey season is here. The boards of the varsity rink were in place last week, and the new warming house is almost in shape. All basketball players will be glad to know that freshman Walt An- drews, who has made quite a name for himself on the gridiron this fall, will be going out for their sport. . . Recently, a prep former asked George Burr if those seniors get to keep the spoons they put in their pockets before dessert . Bk HK 14 Salutes this month: to Pete Burgwald, John Ward, Blake Da- vis, John Rupert and Stewart Fobes for their consistently fine play in intramural football. These are but a few of the many fine prospects on the Big Oaks team. It looks as if Academy football will remain at its present high level in the years hence. 44 PK bk Bill Budd asked Coach if a slide rule ever lied. Coach replied, No, not as a rule .... When told that football builds character, Eric, our beloved janitor, said Go get run over by a steamroller, and see how much character that builds . . . Some of the 3rd platoon members of Varney Co. asked Bill Budd how much an ad would cost in the Now and Then. It turned out that they wanted to advertise for a new platoon commander. Dk ik PF Why was Rod Bacon so thirsty when the football squad had dinner together over in Edina before the Glencoe game? Couldn't have been the pretty waitress, could it? Naw, not Rod .... Juniors, beware! Fifty pe1'cent of all the class rings bought by this year's seniors are lost . Buy a cigar, its cheaper .... A long range prediction on the Blake game finds the Academy winning, 16-13.
