This is the first time to our knowledge that a Shady Side year- book has covered events from opening day in September to graduation in the following June. The class of i957 is given a full portrait of its last year at Shady Side Academy. In par- ticular this yearbook plays on the theme of the trimester, being divided into three sec- tions projecting the atmosphere of the school in fall, winter, and spring. During the first weeks in the fall, spirit is high at Shady Side. Grades soar in a brief period of review, and teams strive for harmony that will mean success on the field. Fall is the season of enthusiasm in class . . . tea parties . . . pep rallies . . . homecoming . . . victorious soccer . , . football high hopes, low scores. As the winds grow colder, and the athletic season ends, outside pressures wither away. Thanksgiving recess is impatiently await- ed, and then abruptly becomes a memory. The lingering weeks until Christmas vacation have one obstacle-exams. The grind begins with HamiIton's financial policies . . . lab prepara- tions . . . Johnson's conversations, and finally at eleven o'cIock on Wednesday, the last side- angle-side. Winter is the grey time on campus when every- thing turns into a repetitive pattern of monot- ony . . . College Board D.S.'s . . . Thursday quiz papers . . . icy, wind-swept walks down the gym hill . . . hot showers . . . basketball Co-Editors- :l:Alan J.

Basketball co-championship , , , and finally on a wet, chilly Saturday morning late in March, exams again. From the Florida sunshine the denizens of S.S.A. return for the happiest season at school. Athletic contests perforate the school week with four varsity teams in action . . . Prom preparations . . . Ellis-Winchester softball games . . . those happy-sad-college-notice days . . . picnics . . . pit parties. In the last few weeks our achievements are rewarded on Prize Day. Finally, years of study at Shady Side Acad- emy lfourteen in one casel are recognized and culminated in graduation. And so the cycle is complete. The year in pictures, in art work, and in bits of copy is as complete a statement as this staff could coach from unwilling cameras, sick typewrit- ers, and errant senior members. We hope you will find this volume a pleasant reminder of the class of l957.

After devoting nearly forty years of his life to Shady Side Academy, Mr. Charles P. Shriver is retiring from teaching this year to enter a new career in business. Mr. Shriver, a graduate of Franklin and Marshall College in l9l5, completed his service in World War l and a period of teaching at Home- stead High before joining the faculty at Shady Side Academy in l9l8. The Academy was then located at the corner of Morewood and Ellsworth Avenues. Mr. Shriver played an important role in the transi- tional period when the Academy was moved to its present site. ln the early years he assumed the responsibilities of Director of Admissions and for twenty years he has sustained an important cam- pus institution, the Tuck Shop. For many years Mr. Shriver took boys on spring vacation junkets to Bermuda and during the summer he shepherded groups to South America and to the West Coast. Eighteen summers were spent directing a boys' camp in New Hampshire. Mr. Shriver will now en- ter a full time association in business with one of his former pupils, Mr. Stanley Hahn, '35, in the Hahn Furniture Company. The class of i957 wishes to dedicate this Academian to Mr. Charles P. Shriver and to Mr. J. Harold Sample who, with their aggregate of 70 years of teaching at this school, are, in a large measure, responsible for the academic standards and fine reputation of the Shady Side Academy of l957. Admired and respected by two generations of stu- dents, Mr. J. Harold Sample announced his retire- ment this year. After serving as an Ensign in World War l, Mr. Sample taught at Phillips Andover and at Milton before coming to Shady Side Academy in l926. Having completed his undergraduate work at Yale in l9l3, Mr. Sample then acquired his MA in history at Harvard. Here through the years Mr. Sample has been associated with most of the activi- ties of the school. He has directed the Shady Side Academy Summer School since l945. His avid in- terest in books has led to the creation of an im- pressive home library of select volumes in the his- tory, biography, and mathematics areas. Mr. Sam- ple's quiet humor and immaculate presence have lent this campus added dignity and his effective teaching will long be remembered here. He will not retire from teaching entirely as he plans to continue his association with the Carnegie Tech Evening School where he has been a member of the faculty for twenty-one years. 4
