tacltly acceptlng wlth out too much thought certaln old maX1mS Honesty IS the best pollcy when you have glven your word you must keep lt you should treat the other fellow as you would your self be treated Forty four years of schoolmasterlng, wlth some re sponslblllty for brlnglng up and tralnlng boys plus the buslness ex perlence lnvolved ln operatlng an lnstltutlon have glven me plenty of tlme and opportunlty to appralse the Valldlty of these maxlms Plenty of opportunlty also to form some oplnlon as to the num ber of people who not only belleve them but act, ln general, accord lngly In retrospect the appralsal IS more than encouraglng One can not measure the extent to whlch a schoolmaster or even a parent can lnfiuence the growth of char acter ln the young but whether or not we of thls much about the for one, belleve because ln the generatlon can do next generatlon I ID that generatlon great malorlty of those young people who have passed under my care, I have found the rlght klnd of character tralts lnherent I have found thls true also, ln buslness and admlnlstra tlve deallng wlth thelr elders All thls has done much to relnforce my own bellef not only ln human nature but ln the eternal truth of these baslc prlnclples of morallty Among my grandfathers papers there came to llght three non con secutlve COPIES of a Boston news paper under the date of 1810 The edltorlal ln the first one deplored the crazy new POl1tlC8l ldeas the grand old days of Washlngton and Jefferson were gone forever, and the country was golng to the dogs In the second paper the edltor commented mournfully on the om lnous rlse ln the cost of llvlng Wlth eggs at three cents a dozen and lamb chops at seven cents a pound, soon nobody could eat And ln the thlrd paper, he shook hls head sadly over the dellnquency of the younger genelatlon Truly as the Preacher Sald there IS no new thlng under the sun' Well perhaps some strange p0l1tlC3l ldeas are at large today and schoolmasters can t buy many lamb chops As for the young people whlle a very few are not all they mlght be, most of them are wonderful I doubt very much whether we are headed for or through Juvenlle dellnquency It IS always refreshlngly surprlslng to me how very often, lf I expect the best from people young or old, I get It The detalls of sectarlan theology have never lnterested me The form can so easlly obscure the

lt has long slnce been sawed up lnto school boards What has happened to the Academy ln the last fifty four years IS not unllke what has happened to Wllllams College Be cause from the days of those two fine old teachers Charles N B Wheeler and Frederlck W Flske ltS work has been honest and good It has grown steadlly It has never bullt a bulldlng and then sought boys to fill that bulldlng On the contrary four tlm8S ln the last forty years It has been compelled to enlarge to take care of the boys who wanted and needed what lt had to offer SIX tlmes, lf you count the Junlor School and that last ad dltlon somewhat morbldly referred to by lts head as The Beulah Brown Memorlal Wlng Alumnl parents and other frlends have glven gladly and generously to make thls expanslon posslble I rathel hope that the School wlll not grow too large, at the cost of loslng that lnformal touch whlch helps smooth the hard road of school work Not how blg but how good When work has to be done three elements are lnvolved the work man the tools and the materlal men the plant represents the tools and the boys are the materlal Im portant as the equlpment IS It IS the least lmportant of the three Workmen and materlal are llvlng entltles Thls bulldlng IS beautlful deslrable necessary but It lsn't the Academy Equlpment alone IS lnanlmate and accompllshes noth lng There IS an old saylng that It IS a poor

stages of the second perlod Shattuck put through two goals to lead Then with the Shads two men short Hod Irvine shot a pass from Pete Vaughan In the third period, the play really got exciting as Bill

' 1 NOW AND THEN Page 3 Hockey Season Closes The hockey team started out well and ended up well but was plagued by a prolonged mld season slump The Academy fimshed the season wxth the rather drab record of 4 w1ns 14 losses and 1 t1e One of the characterxstms of the team was 1fS mconsxstency Frequently, the team would play a good or even br1ll1ant game and then they would go 1nto a slump Perhaps the best example of thls IS the second Shat- tuck game whlch SPA won 4 3 1n an overtime thr1ller Then a couple of days later they lost to Blake by a score of 4 0 In th1s game the hustle and determ1nat1on that so dom1nated the Shattuck game was gone However the blggest and ln most cases the decldmg factor in many games was the fact that 1n almost every game the opponents outshot the team The oppos1t1on took 249 more shots and conse quently scored 46 more goals It follows that lf a team doesnt shoot lt won't score goals and that was certamly the case th1s 562.5011 However thls team certamly had 1ts share of brlght spots even though the season record xsnt as 1mpress1ve as It mxght have been Tommy Mllton, who was first Strlhg goalle even though Just a sophomore certalnly ranks among the top goal1es m the league He got stronger as the season wore h1s sensatlonal work 1n the nets was largely responslble for the late season surge Pete Vaughan and B111 Pederson t1ed for scor1ng honors w1th 13 po1nts aplece Both boys were very dependable and could be counted on 1n the clutch Charc Ward and S1 Ford were the leadmg penalty getters It should be noted however that these pen altles came through hard play and deslre to w1n Charc and S1 were the startmg defensemen at the end of the season and both showed re markable Improvement over the season Pete Townsend captaln of thls years team won the Sporer Trophy whlch IS glven every year to the player who has contrlbuted the most to the team over the sea son Two years ago Pete was an 1nfer1or skater but he worked so hard at hls skatmg that thxs year he became one of the fastest boys on the squad He was moved up from defense to w1ng at the end of the season and scored two lmpor tant goals ln the v1ctor1es over Shattuck A word of pralse should also be glven to Mr Bratnober and Mr Rogers whose interest 1n the team ltself never d1ed They were responslble ln a large part for the teams lncreased sp1r1t and con sequently for thexr late season drlve Cornphments OF A FRIEND Basketball Team Bows to Breck Last week the basketball team ended 1ts regular season by losmg a hard fought game to Breck In the early stages of the game SPA let Breck establ1sh a lead whlch eventually spelled the d1fference be tween vlctory and defeat Led by B1Il Haggberg the Mustangs led at half txme by a score of 27 19 However 1n the next half the Academy w1th Mlke Armstrong and Tom Hoff sparkmg the offense at 33 ll Unfortunately they couldnt qulte push ahead and so Breck once agam took the lead In the final mmutes of the game SPA agam put on a rally but It wasn t qulte enough as they fell short by four po1nts The final score was 54 50 thus endlng the regular sea son for the Academy basketball team Hlgh scorer for SPA 1n thls game was Tom Hoff who scored 22 pomts The basketball team ended 1ts season w1th a record of 4 w1ns and 17 losses Throughout the season the team was plagued by two fa1l 1ngs that determlned the course of many of thelr games One was the1r 1nab1l1ty to put together two halt es of good ball An example of thls IS the first Shattuck game whlch was won by the Shads 50 48 ln an overtlme At half tlme the score was 26 16 m favor of the Acads But ln the next half SPA was unable to ma1nta1n thelr lead Shattuck eventually t1ed the game up and then went ahead to w1n 1n the ow ertlme Another of the team s weaknesses was 1n the free throw department They were only able to hlt on 4592 of thelr free throws whereas 6592 and up IS cons1dered good However the season was not wlthout 1ts hlgh po1nts Perhaps the best game of the season was the second Concordla game whlch SPA won 44 43 ln the fourth quarter The Acads were behmd by one pomt at halftime and at one pomt ln the second half they traxled by seven po1nts But they put on a strong last quarter dr1ve to go ahead and wm In splte of then' ummpresslve record the team showed marked progress over the season The sp1r1t was good and after havmg dropped a few tough ones, they never folded They were 1n most of the11 games rlght up to the last qua1 ter before they would start to fall behmd Captam Hugh Tierney, Tom Hoff and all conference Matt Zell all fimshed

The big gaps left by graduation are most notice- able in the line and will have to be filled from this group. The back- field seems to be in good shape as Fred Crosby King Andrews Bill Pedersen and Tim and Mike Arm- strong all return with at least one year of experience. Looking at the prospects for next years team is quite encouraging and we sincere- ly hope for a high standing next year. Moxing on to the winter sports, the outlook is not so encouraging. The hockey team will be strength- ened by the return of four Juniors and as many Seniors with Varsity experience. Mr. Bratnober will probably gain needed help from last years J.V. and Freshman teams. Boys who should make the jump successfully are Harry Nei- meyer Bill Beadie and Blair Klein. Defensively the team seems well set as Goalie Tom Milton returns along with defensemen Jim Mairs and Charc Ward. The weakness lies in finding enough material to make two strong lines. This team should show an improvement over last year's unimpressive record. The basketball team seems to have been disastrously hit by Destmed to be A Public Speaker Immensely Wealthy A Light Sleeper A Gentleman of Leisure Normal A Brcyclrst Ornnlscrent A Bass Player Caught A Hog caller A Perfect Harvard Man Another Vukoxrch A Hood A Janitor A Lawyer A History Teacher A Cancer Victim -Xlmost Normal A Big Man Underwerght Educated Mrrrred A Maharajah A Badminton Player A Billet Dancer Canomzed Punch drunk A Don Juan Above Baseball Team- Below Track Team Year 1954-55 Head of the Upper School Thomas Milton First Honor List George Anderegg Roger Countryman Second Honor Lust Blake Davis Donnellon Drew Richard Emerrck Dutton Foster Walter Frlcke Robert Gardner George Hubbs Richard Kyle John Mears Jonathan Morgan Joel Nash Grant Nelson John Roe Frederick Sprlhaus Peter Townsend Peter Vaughan Richard Wolff Rooert Wolff Head of the Lower School Thomas Broadie First Honor List George Crawford Daniel Ritchie Second Honor List Richard Adair George Auld James Cohen Carl Drake Bram Drew Richard Frgge Brian Fitch Stewart Fobes Wood Foster James Gardner William Graves Norton Hoff Andrew Holt Richard Kasper Phillips Krndy Mark Krinsky Douglas McCloud Duke McCloud Henry Morgan William Motter Francis Okie James Otis Thomas Roe George Roth David Steimer Oliw er Welch Daniel Willius George Withy Heads of Classes 6th Form.Roger S.

Ritchie Prep Form .... George R. Crawford graduation since six of the first ten were lost by this route. Re- turning from last years team are King Andrews, the Armstrongs and Pete Burgwald. Coach will have to face his annual problem of lack of depth and it is difficult to see where players of Varsity caliber are going to come from. This same problem of no depth will be present on the base- ball team as only six letter win- ners return. Mr. Schofield's J.V. will again have to furnish some un- tried talent. The pitching and catching appear to be the strongest positions, on the team: Bill Peder- sen, Barry Whitman and Tim Arm- strong will pitch and Mike Arm- strong will do the catching. The other returning letterrnen are Bob Fisher and Bill Blake. Johnny Ward and Addisson Woodward should prove to be of some assist- ance to the team. Going on to the minor ' sports, the outlook appears bright. M. Chapmans track team which al- ways has 1 large turnout should again be a challenge for the league title. Despite the loss of Hugh Tierney, the tennis team should again have a winning season as many boys will be fighting for the three positions left open by gradu- ation. The golf team will have three of its five members back and will probably have little trouble in fill- ing the other two positions. SE NIOR ROGI IES GALLERY H L' t f the AH .
