Dear Diary, I can tell things are changing just by the feeling in my weary old bones. With age comes wisdom, you know. Now take those fifteen little Firsties. [ve seen forms come and go for over eighty years. Gilly, Van, Mussy, Jiggy and the rest were like all the other First Forms last fall—tiny pebbles in a great pond. They’ve changed a little; they’re bigger and cockier, but that is not what inter- ests me. By the time they graduate, they will stand for something, for an_ era. When they go, the old days go. I feel that more strongly every time I think about it. Things are changing. They will be the last form to go 9 through Bloody Sunday, the last form to be paddled, the last form to be really belted by their superiors. There were plenty of evils in the old system, but also some very real good. If anything can put the fear of the Lord in little brats, what they and their predecessors have been through can. It takes them off their high horse in a hurry, makes the pebbles smaller and the pond bigger. That’s what they stand for, and that’s why I’m re- cording their history. The first year has been long and tough. Long in the hours on the coalpile and the cold, dreary winter mornings; tough in getting adjusted and getting recognized. But it has also been a happy care-free year. Some things stand out. The daily, spontaneous mutilation of the person and property of an ungainly monster. It was a unifying diversion for brats with no sense of decency as yet, but it had a tragic conclusion—twenty hours apiece for the infamous band. It has been the year of the Great Plague, the year of undefeated midget football (composite score: 147-6), the year of club baseball at its fighting best, the year of unparalleled dorm battles. There have been paddlings (the famous come-uppance of one “King Conceit,” or Bruce as he is less widely known), and amusing classes under the inimitable doctors, Schenck and Harrison. It has been a full year. The form is united and strong; the tarnished pebbles were discovered early—three down the hatch already. The little men of °53 are ready for anything. JUNE 1 949. Dear Diary, All that could come, came. And_ so many more too. They started off the year with a party. Some party, too. Party favors included a belt buckle for Big Ron Roth and a tennis ball for Rolly. Chas was a bystander at the whole affair while Bevo was proclaimed host, Randy the entertainer, and Bruce the instigator. Everything went on a formal basis. They rented the New Wing and paid the bill in Room Seven. When everyone finally set- tled down to a_ nice, hotly-contested league of card baseball, Diz gave all the facts (even on bee raids) in his Latest Lowdown. Cool, calm, collecting Jiggy led the league till he found that no one likes anyone who wins all the time. Then, of course, I can’t end this entry without a word about darling D.B., the man with the red-hot and very ready slate pad. I think my boys owe him something. If they can’t make a living as doctors or lawyers they can shovel coal — chain- gang style. JUNE 1950. Dear Diary, The same dreary bunch. I’ve really had my paws full. From the vicious Dorm D rumors that those southerners were spreading to that ““Casanova-on-wheels” —why I bet if the farcical Third Form Trumpet hadn’t appeared I would have broken down. The Trumpet, with its sole purpose of glorifying the third form and nothing else, was organized by budding journalists Bruce, Chas, and Bevo and was aided by temperamental Diz and his asinine and plagiaristic cartoon character, Superdroop Junior, no doubt the image of what everyone in the form wished to be. The boys were definitely in the writing stage this year. But it would have been better if boys like Willy and Ron Roth hadn’t insisted that their readers auto- graph and comment on their stories, e.g., the Latin novel, Siz. But Pizzi never minded being a scapegoat anyway. The boys ate well, too. Brantwood President Chas and Tenacious Sherwood doled out the holidays —to Nip, who always got them. This was the year that the form first realized that there were twenty-one writ- ten rules to break. The first tussles with the nightwatchman began, and Dizzy and equally careless Story Musgrave started roaming the corridors and the Worcester turnpike in search of nothing to do. There were huge water-bottle fights on the New Dorm roof, too, and Worthy always lost out. And, of course, I can’t forget how big lovable Jeff Coolidge tried to put dorm feasts out of fashion. That was the time of tin cups, arrows, broken windows, and a soul-rendering meeting with Gac. If the boys were looking forward to their fourth- form year, it’s hard to tell why. If only they hadn’t found out about those twen- ty-one rules. JUNE 1951. Dear Diary, It’s just been one big race. They’ve tried to see who could be the first to break the school’s twenty-one written rules. Of course, to my credit there was ath- letic Randy, and Bennyboys Mike and Chas, but not much else except head librarian Jiggy Coe. And I’m not sure, either, if they actually did manage to erack all twenty-one rules, though it was a good try anyway. It all started with the friendliest little game of poker in club 171 you can ever imagine. The boys, though, did gain one thing from their trouble—a real buddy. I remember, too, the West 3 Coliseum’s fights with the record attendance of thirty-seven. It was this year that the climax of Dwight Davis’s career was reached. With master- mind William Peterson planning, the famed “Benny’s Car Episode” was exe- cuted. It was following this that Inspector Coker filed his brilliant report on 5.M. Sin and Immorality in Marlboro and vicinity. In the spring the hacking light- ened, and the form (now “the worst in school”) began to acquire that humorous and inevitable upper-school cynicism; and now for the first time in the spring their fancy turned to thoughts of — and -at Tenacre. They’re still growing, I can tell. in particular, their first “big dance” JUNE 1952. Dear Diary, The form was divided this year. There were those who played poker and there were those who campaigned. I suppose both groups had their good points. Only 11 at odd times did the groups overlap. For instance, there were the Roosevelt Grille celebration party, and the Sixth-Form Dance Birddog Club with the Bobsey Twins, and even the atrocious nodoz market at mid-year exams. Thus with one-half of the form played against the other, a few worries departed (just before the beginning of the term) and good deeds and teen-age problems increased which were to plague us throughout the term. But to mention a few of the good deeds, theatrical John Loudon has shone in the SMDC Inspector General, and the dance committee ran a successful barn dance. Tim slammed out four hits against Gro- ton after spending most of the season on Ulen’s maritime squad, and the important war scenes of the form movie were taken with the acting of “‘generalissimo” Has- kins. Everyone was so tense at the end of the spring term when staff, club, and school positions were announced. I saw a few who bitterly burnt old campaign posters and such, but no one committed suicide. I can hardly wait till next year. DECEMBER 1952. DEAR Diary, I read in the Bible once something about becoming a man and putting away childish things. I guess these boys just don’t read the Bible. Although that say- ing should be quite familiar anyway. I suspect they'll end the year the same way they started it. With a wham. Naturally I was pleased with the way Randy and a few of the big boys—hefty John Shaw, slender Tim Sherwood, lanky Gordon Douglas, and racy Andy Rankin —led the football team to a snowy 27-12 smear over Groton. And likewise with Denny’s footsters, including massive Boomy, rapid Tim, speedy Ave, fleet Morrell, and ah-Lee in the goal. But there was also the Wheeler dance discus- sions. Here’s what happened: The day before the dance somebody got the idea that it would be nice if we all staved cn the dance floor during the dance. This immediately brought up the question, “Why?” Just before the big de- bate an exhibition of Indian warfare was put up in the sixth-form room to give everyone some background data on the cease. Actually the discussion got no re- sults and most of the boys came away with the idea that it would be even neces- sary to show a draft card to get punch at the dance. Of course, to the few who had shown foresight two years previously, the draft ecard was no worry. And speaking of girls, there was the time when Nip enticed Richie and Van to seek relief in rural affairs. Luckily Badge stopped these gentlemen before anything had a chance to develop; nevertheless it didn’t help their discipline records, and when the firebug (“‘Let’s toss matches at each other’) episode exploded, I thought I had seen the last of at least one of them. However, the final outcome of this was only that the smoking team had to cancel the rest of its games. Meanwhile Lion Films, Inec., was busy shooting the final scenes of its movie The Sheik of Apocalyse starring Valentino Berthelsen, directed by Buzzooks, and Alex, and produced by J. P. Scudder. The rest of the boys were either munching cheese, working out crossword puzzles, or studying history problems. When the term finally ended with the usual dorm feasts, one extended vacation, and a discriminating Brucemas party (next one in 1957), almost everyone ran to New York and grew a year older. I thought I had best follow. Marcu 1953. Dear Dtary, Vacations can even be more fun than the school terms. After a 2-1 victory over Ronnie’s Lawrenceville team everyone began to celebrate the New Year at Randy’s. S. Woods was there with every- one and everything, and L. Jackson was there with herself and Shaw. No need in saying what Bevo was there with, though he wasn’t the only one. When I got back to school, I knew I was in for a very spe- cial term. The first event was getting a Walnut Hill concert called off, which was —too bad. Then for a change, Mr. Barber made the form think a little of college and he asked an admissions director of one of the east’s discriminating metropolitan colleges to visit. Parlor was no longer a smoker now because of the sports season. Instead it was kind of musical culture period. When he wasn’t practicing for an aria in the chapel, B. Carooster Hall would accompany his voice with an ac- cordion in the headmaster’s study. Of course, Averell was indispensable at the piano, playing all the hits, including “Of Thee I, Of Thee, Of Thee I sing, BABY.” Also it was time now to begin thinking of the sixth-form dance—and everyone did, except Jiggy, naturally. The major com- plications on the weekend included: Gus getting Weatherbee Aiken’s girl, Hutch- ins getting Hall’s girl, nobody getting Shaw’s girl, Van getting no girl, every- body wanting Richie’s girl, Ballande get- ting his girl, and most of the rest of the form getting townies. I'll say just one more word on the weekend— Maribeth. Though Mr. Badger got sick as a dog one week before the opening night of the musical, Doe Shep and President Lou- don pushed everyone, and on production night the boys were practically sitting in their laps. College Boards, the annual bore, was the final event of the eventful term which also included the form’s first drastic discipline measure. Four fourth-formers were paraded before a barrage of “sirs’’ and silly questions. (Example—Concern- ing the discovery of taboo coke bottles in his room, the boy was asked “Why?” “I don’t know, SIR.” Neilsen: “Is your thirst any greater than mine?”) On the first day of vacation after Mike had taken off for the land of Oranges, Indians and Judy, and almost everyone else had head- ed home, a group of six gathered in Provi- dence where Doctor Sears, Sober Andy, and Sherry Shaw displayed their teen- icide talents. Aprit 1953. Dear Diary, It’s spring. It’s in the air. It’s in the boys. They’re anxious. So am I. I keep thinking of the future and its events. I 13 imagine I can see Bevo kissing all the babies in the country (especially around Jimmy Ryan’s) in his effort to sit in Congress, and Boomy Coon asking for lower wages in the Senate. And _ there’s Randy playing halfback for the Detroit Lions, and Charlie Steedman buying a sports arena after he’s made his first million, Gus running all the banks in Mexico, Fred Harvey bankrupting the restaurant business, Willy making up crossword puzzles for the New York Times, Buzzy as an usher at the Met, Averell as a father, Denny following the sun, Bob “Hilton”? Armstrong buying the Virgin Islands, Gordon as the president of Hahrvard, and Morrell as the capitalist who cleaned up by selling vodka when the Russians invaded America. All this might be true. I wonder. And I’m tired. May 30, 1953. Dear Diary, The only trouble this term arose when Mr. Barber decided that big boys, in- cluding monitors, ought to act like big boys. I don’t think all the trouble was their fault, however; it might have been something higher than that—and I don’t need to mention a name; it’s all in the record. Still there is no denying that the form started off the term on the wrong foot, tripped, and then crawled around until June. Gilly and Mike began things by selling imported water guns at (naturally) black-market prices. Then everyone, in- cluding Fred, tore a hole in their Brooks Bros. suit pockets for their guns, just to ‘‘be ready.”’ Gae ended all this very soon, however, with a little lecture after morning prayers. Then, except for making tape recordings of the Thursday night lectures and a “mild” coke and ginger ale (et al) party in Framingham, there was almost nothing to do. Once the boys might rush out two St. Markers a day, or someone might try to hunt up a back copy of the V index (he never found it), and the Cercle (their motto, ‘‘all that glitters is not gold,’’) even displayed shining performances on French Night—but there was actually nothing to do. So it happened. In spite of the four monitors present and the nature of the ceremony they were about to perform, I could not help but feel that the whole atmosphere on that May night was very unofficial and very secular. Immediately after Hutch was bent up and “baptized” (complete im- mersion, including clothes), the “evange- listic’’ spirit seized everyone and _ before the services were over for the night (and the week), approximately thirty boys, one corridor, and one ceiling (Maxyvoy and Biff missed by minutes) had been aquatically acquainted. When the mist had cleared and the Fire had cooled, a seventh form with a new head mo emerged, the school’s most “influential form” controlling every school organiza- tion except the Blue and White and the Stationery store. Then, just two weeks later, the form’s second win over Groton united everyone again (with an occa- sional exception) and made them realize that, regardless, a diploma is a diploma. I should say more, though, about the Groton baseball game. With mad Buzzy gone, there was a frantic search for some- one to hex the Grotties. All doubts were dispelled when Dwight D. drove up for the week-end, equipped with everything a boy needs for popularity. After proper ceremonies, Oracle Davis predicted a 10-2 win. I said those boys would end the year with a wham, and they did. After the 16-9 triumph over the Grots, two “double- pro” members decided to celebrate the victory on the town. After a midnight stroll, they returned only to find the whole police force looking for them. After this, some members of the form were so downeast or disappointed that suicide and soul-searching were the main topics of conversation. All became outwardly unified, if not inwardly, before the end, and the form settled down for exams. JuNE 11, 1953. Dear Diary, I’m going down to the chapel after this entry. I was thinking now of how much the Barbers have helped me, too, and the faculty. How grateful I feel. Tomorrow the boys may graduate. 15 NEWS FLASH! Souruporo, Mass. (AP) Jung 13. Locan AUTHORITIES ARE STILL BAFFLED TODAY OVER THE DISCOVERY OF AN APPARENTLY INSANE LION THAT WAS FOUND CRYING AT THE ALTAR RAIL OF THE St. Mark’s CHAPEL YESTERDAY EVENING. No OFFICIAL EXPLANATION HAS YET BEEN GIVEN AS TO HOW OR WHY THE LION HAD HIS BREAKDOWN. THE LION OFFERED NO RESISTANCE WHEN THE ATTENDANTS CARRIED HIM AWAY, HOWEVER. A VETER- INARY PRESENT AT THE SCENE DIAGNOSED THE CASE THIS WAY: “IT SEEMS TO ME THAT THE LION HAD BEEN WORKING VERY HARD AT SOMETHING FOR QUITE A WHILE. It’s ENOUGH TO GIVE ANYONE A BREAK- pOowN, I GUESS. “PERHAPS THE REASON HE DIDN'T OFFER ANY RESISTANCE WAS BECAUSE HE FELT HE HAD DONE THE JOB SATISFAC- TORILY, THE DOCTOR SAID.

Finally in a position of authority, we reluctantly found ourselves admitting that rules ac- tually do serve a purpose, and the ruth- less Fifth Forms we had known as mem- bers of the Lower School didn’t seem quite so ruthless as they had appeared. Sportswise, we contributed a Goodyear cousins’ passing combination to the foot- ball team, and Rummy was chosen next year’s captain. The coveted 5.M. was realized in great quantity, as talk of next year’s team became dinner conversation. As expected, the scholastic burden of the Fifth Form, plus innumerable extra- curricular activities, made the year a hard one. For a short time, nights were given a practical application as lower- form sinners found themselves shining 38 ’54 shoes. This procedure, unfortunately, drew frowns from the authorities and the practice was regretfully stopped. In the course of the year we discovered cynicism and, after a full trial, dropped it; we increased our number by Hayden and Bob, who returned after a long leave of absence, from Texas, and Ted, from nearby Holliston. We sang in the octet, we reelected Ranny, we satirized the Sf. Marker, and we wrote messages on pillow cases. We had a party in New York. We were tough and we were casual. But throughout all our activities an awareness that next year would culminate five years of striving caused us to take seriously those things which might not have received so much attention other- wise. Looking ahead to our Sixth-Form year might possibly be the last thing the class of ’54 will earnestly look forward to for quite a time to come.

With a few gone to try their luck at other schools, °55 remained pretty much intact. During the fall, Pum and Dan gave the form the distinction of placing two letter- men on the football team, while Gene, Tom, and Tuck excelled in soccer. However, our class was noted for other things besides athletic ability. For in- stance, a certain scientific member of the form was rumored to have drafted into his harem a defunct outcast of the biology lab. Also, as vacation drew nigh, an es- teemed gentleman from Canada released a “shining” production to the strains of La Marsellaise. The curtain rose, revealing a sultry beauty lounging enticingly on a divan. As the play progressed, it became apparent.... When the holidays ended, we had two 39 starters on the frustrated quintet. Though shaky on skates himself, the pedagogue of 4A French thought Pum’s and Rump’s skating deserved merit, so the two were the starting J.V. defense when the hockey season began. Hally was Mr. Coe’s pride and joy on the wrestling team, while Flangus was among the first on the fives ladder with Izzy hot on his tail. Other, more dubious activities were transpiring. With the temperature hover- ing around zero on a raw and wintry night, three bundled figures were seen descending Rump’s private exit, marking the first gathering of the Sanity Club. The dread disease of Fourth-Form-itis was very virulent and corridor brawls were not uncommon; however, the vener- able Father managed to keep the majority of our pagan society away from the paths of iniquity, and we finished the year suc- cessfully.

G., Hare, H., Carle, Fenno, Wooten, Duer, Streibert, Parr The Third Form On returning in the fall, we found our form riddled with new kids, who, to our surprise, soon dominated the class, even on the football field. Moose upheld the form as its sole member of the while Dan and Luddy floundered on the J.V.’s. The majority of the form played on Captain Perry’s seniors, or on the varsity juniors. In soccer, a few slaved away on lower Belmont under Mr. Harrington’s supervision. Dorm B turned out to be “Hacker Haven,” and one day all woke up in a shower of dried corn kernels, the supply of which seemed to be coming from the al- cove of Blimey Limey. Dorm E was com- paratively quiet except for the incessant babble from Rudy and Pogo throughout the whole night. In the second term, a select clique was formed, by the name of “The Rocks,” an organization with the purpose certain 40 of cleaning up hacking in Dorm B. In hockey, the form supplied the J.V. with Dan, Perry, Roddy, Dave, Mac, and Fils. The third squad with Captain Bar- ney, Shell, Brooks, Sarge, and Nick, re- ceived its share of the form, as did the J.V.’s and Mr. Carey’s third-squad bas- ketball team. Dollars kept rolling into Brantwood; while the “Blue and White” under its co- editors, Ears Wendt and _ perfectionist Fenno, was forever trying to scoop the St. Marker, but with little or no success. The form showed promise in dramatics as the Lower School plays starred Bill and Doug. In the spring, the form showed itself excellent in baseball. The majority of the class played on their respective clubs, while some played tennis. The year was fun, but tough; and our only hope is that next year will end as happily. | Williams, Lanier, Downs, Potter, Ireland, Dilworth, Winsor, C., Schuster, Poitras, J., Collier, Devereux Ingalls, Henshaw, R., Haythe, Fenton, Nickerson, Van ley, Fahnestock, Michel, Brown Nagell, Fisher, Curtis, J.

The first course was the football season of which Williams, Buckley, Avis, and Ingalls ate heartily. Along with this course came soccer which was divided into four sub-courses. The second course was term exams which many boys digested badly, but which Haythe, Henshaw, and Suydam gobbled up. The third course was winter sports, consisting of hockey, wrestling and bas- ketball. Buckley gorged himself with the latter, making the third squad, J.V.’s and for a short but glorious time the Varsity. The dinner entertainment came in the form of dramaties in which Fenton starred by getting a lead in the lower school 41 plays and a part in the school production of Of Thee I Sing. Served with the main course were miscellaneous hors d’oeuvres such as Automotive Engineering and the Scientific Society. Devereaux ate heartily of engines while Winsor stuffed himself under the direction of Mr. Avis. The hors d’oeuvres were followed by a course in spring sports. Harvey went out for Cox and did well while the rest of the form played baseball. During dinner we found ourselves throwing butter and squirting water; but as the banquet progressed we either learned to behave ourselves or the mas- ters found ways to curb our bad habits. Dessert brought exams which everyone devoured diligently, and we soon found ourselves in summer vacation. Since past banquets have proved pro- fitable and enjoyable, we are all looking forward to those in the future. Jackson, R., Cunningham, Van Winkle, Shaw, W. Ferrebee, Radsch, Barber, Garces The First Form We, the class of 58, looking back over the past year, think that it was a great success. We shall never forget the form ball games in the cage, the dorm feasts at which everyone thoroughly enjoyed himself, the dang-blasted new kid buzzer, and the sleepless nights when the home- work had not been finished. Jackson never stopped talking about his wonder- ful snakes and antiques. “Mr.” Barber thought that hockey was definitely the winter sport even though the weather was never exactly right. Van Winkle’s, ““Wan- na sell it?-—How much?—No, geeze, I didn’t mean it,’ and the ferocious cries from Shaw, “Put up your dukes, I'll meet you in the gym after rest period” provided the excitement for the year. Pete Ferrebee (the silent hard-working type) and Dick Radsch, who was always cracking “funny” jokes, were always in the group. 42 Football claimed the entire form in the fall sports picture. Jack Phelan did a wonderful job at end position and will, no doubt, continue to play good football in the years to come. Armando Garces, a soccer player from South America, de- ceived us by turning his talents to foot- ball and becoming an outstanding tackle on the Midgets. Hockey dominated the winter sports scene with but two members of the form preferring Mr. Carey’s basketball squad. In the spring, baseball was chosen by the great majority of the form though a few went out for crew. And now as we leave the first phase of our life at St. Mark’s behind, we sincerely hope that the five years ahead will bring as much enjoyment as the first year has. With a good nucleus to build on, there is no reason to believe that we shall not achieve our wish.

Included in the four vic- tories were wins over Milton and Middle- sex, thus marking 1952 as the first year in fo ur that we have won all three traditional encounters. Despite a fairly potent Groton offense, successful conversions by extra-point specialist Fred Harvey put us in a rela- tively safe position throughout the nerve- tingling Groton game. A sustained drive 18-yard scoring thrust around end early in the featured by Captain Creel’s first quarter gave us a lead we never re- linquished. A short pass from Saunders to Rummy Goodyear for the second score of the after- noon was offset by a Grottie march on a series of short bucks which resulted in a touchdown, and the half ended with St. Mark’s ahead, 14-6. Early in the third period, Rummy Goodyear hit his cousin Dave with a touchdown pass, and after Groton had once again pulled to within’ striking distance, Andy Rankin took a Saunders’ pass in the end zone to sew up the game for St. Mark’s, 27-12. The 1952 season had started off auspi- ciously with a 13-0 triumph over Nobles. Countless times we were stalled inside the opponents’ twenty, but in the fourth 46 quarter Captain Creel finally broke loose to score on two long runs. Our defense was superb, holding Nobles to a net gain of only six yards. A far too fast and rugged Boston Latin eleven overpowered us, 19 to 7, in our second game. The Belmont Hill game was a disap- pointment, for a comparatively weak team beat us easily, 26-7. A few changes proved beneficial as we whipped Middle- sex, 25-7, and Milton, 7-6, on successive Saturdays. St. Mark’s pushed to the Mil- ton four-yard line in the first half but failed to tally; the half ended in a score- less tie. Late in the third period the Good- years clicked on a long pass for the first score of the afternoon, and Fred Harvey to be the came back to kicked what later proved Milton score with about two minutes remaining winning point. in the game, but tried a pass for the extra point which was batted down by Church. A badly played first half against our next opponents, undefeated Governor Dummer, caused our 19-0 defeat. There will be eight lettermen back next vear to form the nucleus of what could be another successful season, but many reserves must come up from the J.V. to round out the squad. My sincere thanks go to Mr. MeCand- less for his invaluable assistance in de- veloping the squad potential and putting it in good condition. ‘ “RNEST E. Howartu HOCKEY A. J. BEVERIDGE Captain W. W.

The players will agree with me that our one real regret is the 2-1 defeat at the hands of a mediocre Milton team. Unquestionably we played our best hock- ey on successive days just before midyear exams—in the tie against a strong Nobles team and in the overwhelming defeat of a good Middlesex team. Belmont Hill was far too fast and too deep for us, and if it had not been for the excellent goal-tend- ing of Steedman, substituting for the ill Reeves, the score would have been much more one-sided than it was. Yes, with the exception of the one disappointment mentioned above, the record is perhaps even a little better than we had a right to expect, considering the unusually fast competition in the league and the lack of 49 speed on our own squad. The mistakes we made were largely those of commission rather than omission. Every rival coach commented on the hard, aggressive hock- ey we played, and while personally I would have liked even more hustle from the squad, I do think that what success we did have was the result of fighting determination and intelligent team-play. The first line of Church, Beveridge, and Harvey played particularly intelli- gent hockey; the second line of Goodyear, Sherwood, and Plumb was well above average in all departments; the defense of Creel and Rankin was tough and tireless; and the goal-guarding of Reeves was steady all season and often, but particu- larly against Andover and Lawrenceville, brilliant. The highlights of the season? We re- member Captain Beveridge’s four goals on hard low shots against a_ hapless Browne and Nichols team. We certainly should record the fact that Church made at least one goal in eight out of the nine games in which we scored any points at all. Though I was not present to witness the performance, every one who was there will remember the “hat trick” of three goals scored by Goodyear against St. Sebastian’s which won the game for us, 3-2. I would record my own opinion that Sher- wood and Pell were the two players who improved the most during the winter. Harvey’s whiz-shot, one of the best in the league, certainly deserves mention. To me the phenomenon of the season was Rankin’s realization that studies are more important even than athletics, and his voluntary decision to give up hockey for ten days in mid-season to study for exams—a decision, I might add, accepted by the coach without hesitation though very definitely with mixed emotions. Finally, but not by any means least, we all remember Creel’s regular pre-game resolutions, probably sincere and all punc- tuated with emphatic wags of the head, to avoid penalties of every kind, the regular stints served by this gentleman in the cooler in every single game of the season, and the fitting climax in the final period of the final game, when after a whistle and a referee’s wave of the hand Randy skated over to his own bench, apologized to his coach, skated head down across the rink to the penalty box to be informed, to the delight of both squads, that the penalty concerned only his op- ponent. The squad will, I am sure, agree with me that Beveridge made a great captain and has the lasting respect and affection of all of us who played and worked with him this winter. As a nucleus for 1954, Captain-elect Church will have from this year’s squad two experienced and able wings in Good- year and Plumb, two hard-working de- fensemen in Pell and Leeson, and a good goalie in Paul, a nucleus which should be bolstered by several players from a strong J. V. team, which should continue to sup- ply good players in future years. The coach is glad to have this oppor- tunity to salute the sixth-formers on this year’s squad. Our happy memories will I know mutual life-long friendships. cement our W. W. BarsBer, JR. B ASKETB ALL E. E. HOWARTH, JR. Captain J. L. McCANDLESS Coach A. N.

L., Howarth, Saunders, Montgomery 51 7 t The Season The basketball season was somewhat of a disappointment for St. Mark’s fans. A look at the overall record shows a four- win and eleven-loss count. There was one pleasant note, however, in the fact that seven players were awarded letters at the close of the season. Of these, six will re- turn next year, led by their newly elected captain, Dave Goodyear. A breakdown of the season shows three wins and seven losses in league competi- tion. Against non-league opponents we won but one game in five attempts. From a coach’s point of view, the season had far more gratifying aspects than our won-and-lost record would suggest. The team as a group, and as individuals, im- proved immensely over the course of the season. More specifically, in our first meetings with Milton, Belmont Hill, and Noble and Greenough, we were unable to garner a win. Our second match with the two latter schools saw the Lion on the long end of both scores. The league champion, Milton, took us in our first encounter, 70-47; two weeks later, how- ever, we were able to hold Milton to a 43-39 win. The game was a seesaw battle and we were in contention all the way. Along with the thrilling 67-66 victory over Noble and Greenough, and the win over Belmont Hill, our forces defeated Brooks, 41-38, and St. George’s, 50-44. There were several other high spots to the season which deserve particular men- tion. Following our first victory against Brooks, we met the same team on their court. An extra period was necessary to settle this skirmish, and unfortunately our opponents emerged with a 39-37 win. Three days later, we again invaded a foreign court to meet St. Sebastian’s, and once again the Lion matched a strong St. Sebastian five for four periods. An- other overtime was necessary in which we failed to overcome our extra-period jinx, losing the contest by a 40-33 score. The St. Mark’s five gave their finest performance of the year in their 67-66 win at the expense of Noble and Green- ough. Roger Tuckerman, Dave Good- year and Dan Saunders were particular ly outstanding, as they scored eighteen, sixteen, and fifteen points respectively. This was a genuine team win, as Pete Ringgold, Tom Sweeney, Gus Alexander, and Bob Montgomery all gave very steady support to the previously men- tioned high scorers. Attention should also be called to the satisfying score our quintet turned in against St. George’s. Captain Howarth led his mates to another “team win” as Dave Goodyear, Bob Montgomery, and Roger Tuckerman piled up a total of thirty-eight points. As we recall incidents and highlights of the past season, we especially remember Pete Ringgold’s two quick field goals in the closing moments of our first meeting with Brooks, which clinched a close battle for the Lion. A detailed breakdown of our season re- veals that we allowed our opponents an average of forty-eight points a game, and we were able to score an average of forty points ourselves. This forty-eight-point average in modern-day basketball speaks well of the team’s defensive ability. Our basic weakness seemed to be the absence of one consistent scorer, a weakness which faded as the season progressed. With a season of fifteen games behind them, the six returning lettermen cannot help but feel that the Lion review of next year’s season will record a reversal in the won-lost ratio. A Junior Varsity which won eight out of ten games this year will undoubtedly send support to the Varsity in the future. I would like to express my sincere ap- preciation to Captain Howarth and Man- ager Spurr for their whole-hearted coop- eration. To the Captain and to the team I here record my thanks for their undying perseverance and courage, traits all assur- ing success in 1954. J. L. McCanpieEss J. G. DOUGLAS WRESTLING Ma D. E.

The undefeated season which resulted, however, was far beyond the most optimistic early winter pre- diction. From the 115-pound class to the un- limited division, we were a strong team. Though boasting few really outstanding wrestlers, we had no weak position on the squad. Each first-team member could be expected to defeat any wrestler on a rival team who was not considerably above average. This fine overall balance served us to good advantage as the record shows. For eight matches we amassed a total of 216 points against only 67 for our op- ponents. We got off to a good start with a sur- prisingly easy win over normally powerful Milton, who had won the New England title the year before. This was followed by our toughest match of the season, against or Or Wellesley High, in which we barely eked out a 21-18 victory. Our old nemesis, Needham High, was next, and, though most of the matches were close, the out- come was never in serious doubt as we won handily. Governor Dummer and Brooks in succession fell easy prey to our spirited wrestlers, scoring a total of only nine points while we were rolling up 65. Mid- year exams did not seem to affect us much as we reeled off two more clean-cut victories over Browne and Nichols and Perkins in that order. The final dual meet of the year brought us up against only-once-beaten Noble and Greenough. In impressive style, we set them down, 22-11, and thus finished the season with- out a defeat. Tom Towers, Story Musgrave, Cap- tain-elect Johnny Winthrop and Captain Gordon Douglas all went through the season without a defeat, and Bob Gilmor dropped only one match. Also making impressive performances were Tim Has- kins, Dana Wells, Tom Kean, Pete Williamson, and Dave Quarton. We sent a somewhat plague-ridden team into the New England Inter- scholastics in which there were entered 126 wrestlers representing twenty schools competing in the various divisions. Com- petition is always keen in this tourna- ment, and the team with a few excep- tional wrestlers will usually score well. Since we did not have very many boys of outstanding ability, it was no surprise that we did not finish as well as might be expected of an undefeated team. Except for Johnny Winthrop and Bob Gilmor, all our entries were eliminated in the first or second rounds. Both John and Bob lasted until the finals but were finally out- fought by excellent opponents. The nine points which these boys earned between them gave us a tie for seventh place. We shall have three lettermen return- ing next year, Tom Towers, Dana Wells, and Captain-elect John Winthrop. These three boys, plus a number of squad mem- bers who will have had wrestling experi- ence, should provide a nucleus around which a reasonably strong team can be built. It is difficult to predict the future of wrestling at St. Mark’s. We continue to hold our own so far as numbers are con- cerned. However, many of our wrestlers come out for this sport only for the ex- ercise, not for competition. There is no objection to this so-called “recreation wrestling” except that the number of wrestlers available for the team is not as high as it should be. There are three factors which seem to deter the number of aspirants: 1) little or no contact with the sport before entering St. Mark’s; 2) the popularity of hockey and, to some ex- tent, basketball, and 3) parental pressure to avoid wrestling, possibly because of mis- information resulting from television. If we can interest younger boys and keep the present number on our squad, we should do well. But if we are forced to draw upon upper-formers, we can not ex- pect to offer as strong opposition to our opponents year after year as we have done for the past five years. DE.

These occasional bright spots were, unfortunately, only occasional, and 1953 was not a winning year. However, although the extra base hit that means victory was often con- spicuous by its absence, a won-lost record of five and six, when it includes a smashing 16-9 win over Groton, is nothing to be ashamed of. Instead of the usual question mark which is generally present in the pitching department, we were blessed with three capable hurlers this season. Captain Akers, winner over Groton, was ably sup- ported by Morgan Palmer and Rufus Bullock. Frequently all three would get the call in a single game, as against Brooks, when each pitched three innings of shut-out ball. As a receiver, John Davis was all that could be desired. In addition to his stellar defensive play, John’s long ball hitting, especially at the end of the sea- son, was of particular note. He will be a valuable member of next year’s team both as catcher and captain-elect. Defensively, there could be few com- plaints lodged against our infield. Tim Sherwood, playing his second season as varsity third baseman, made only two errors in eleven games. Charlie Steedman, converted backstop, capably filled the shoes of ‘Hoss’? Hamlen in the field and led the team in hitting with an average of .885. Gerry Church at second and Dan- ny Saunders at first performed capably enough and should provide a very strong nucleus for our infield next season. Right field was held down by Randy Creel, whose drive and occasional long ball were instrumental in several of our victories. The left-field post was shared by Morgan, Goodyear and Hall. Both Morgan and Goodyear will be with us next year with a year of varsity experi- ence behind them. Captain Mike Akers, in center field when not on the mound, is in a large part responsible for what success we may have achieved this season. His truly inspira- tional leadership and burning desire to win made him a great captain. The question may arise: Why did we not win more games? Of course, it is hard to say, but perhaps this failure can be attributed to a lack of baseball instinct. We were in every game we played to the last out, and a throw to the right base or a clutch hit could have turned a mediocre record into a winning one. With a good nucleus of seven returning lettermen led by Captain-elect Davis, there is no reason why a winning season and another triumph over Groton cannot be achieved. CREW F. H. HARVEY Captain D. S. M. LANIER Head Coach W. E. GACCON Assistant Coach L. S. THOMPSON Manager CREW FIRST BOAT Harvey, F. H., Townsend, Rankin, Kunkel McConnell 60 — a CREW SQUAD Mr. Lanier, Miner, Wells, Garrison, Goodyear, D. L., Turnbull, Wettlaufer, Thompson Williamson, Townsend, Kunkel, Harvey, F. H., Rankin, Walsh Harvey, W. C., McConnell, Jackson, J.G. The Season As was the case in 1950, the squad this year was not large. Even before the season started, it was clear that only twelve oarsmen would be competing for places on the first three boats. It was even plainer that for seats on the first two boats, com- petition lay among only eight members of the squad. Captain Fred Harvey and Dave Goodyear, being the only two letter- men returning from last year’s squad, were sure to be included. The other six were drawn mostly from third and fourth boats of the previous year. Our first race found Fred Harvey strok- ing the second boat. It had been supposed that this would be the first boat but, since the crews had been able to take to the water this season only seven times before the opening race, there was little opportunity to find out what was what. In a time trial the day before the race, Harvey’s boat came in second, and so they rowed second boat against South 61 Kent and Gunnery in a triangle meeting at South Kent on April 25th. Behind Harvey were Tony Townsend at number three, Dave Goodyear at two, and Lewis Kunkel at bow, and they rowed well enough to win their race. The first boat, stroked by Andy Rankin, with Pete Williamson at three, Ranny Miner at two, and Baxter Walsh at bow, managed to beat Gunnery but lost to South Kent. The conditions for this race were excel- lent, but the times were slow, for none of the contending crews had had sufficient time for conditioning. In an attempt to discover a combina- tion that might be more effective as a first crew for our next race, three and bow in Rankin’s boat changed places with their opposite members in Harvey's boat. But when these new boats lost to Noble and Greenough, and Brooks the following Saturday, it was obvious that further experiments were in order. Andy Rankin was moved to number two in Harvey’s boat, and Dave Goodyear started in as stroke in the other. The result of this shift was at first to give the crew now comprised of Harvey, Townsend, Rankin, and Kunkel a de- cided edge over Goodyear, Williamson, Miner, and Walsh. This situation con- tinued for a week, and when we raced Pomfret on May 9, the second and third boats suffered disheartening losses. The first boat, however, after a slow start, managed to make a real race of it, losing by something less than half a length. In fact they did well enough, considering that they had been together only a week, to suggest that, allowed sufficient time for conditioning, they might develop into a capable crew. Unfortunately, this promise was not fulfilled. Actually Goodyear’s boat was the one to improve, to the point where it won the right to row against Belmont Hill on the 16th as the first boat. They lost this race by a narrow margin, after third and second boats had also been de- feated decisively. During the last week one further change was effected. Harvey went to two and Rankin took over stroke in the second boat, with the expectation that the exchange would enable this boat again to make progress. However, Good- year’s crew managed to win the important time trial, so we came to the Regatta with his boat again rowing number one. The results at Quinsigamond were bet- ter than expected. In the first heat our second boat lost to Exeter, and Browne and Nichols, but defeated Belmont Hill and Choate. In the afternoon in the con- solation race for second place fours, the St. Mark’s crew came in first, defeating South Kent, Belmont Hill, Salisbury, Choate, and three unidentified starters. The first boat came in third in the morn- ing heat, losing to Browne and Nichols, and Exeter again, but defeating Choate and Gunnery. Captain Fred Harvey deserves con- gratulations for continuing hard work, even when things looked most discourag- ing, and the squad, as is always the case, is grateful for the help of Mr. Gaccon and Mr. Adams. Acting Manager Thompson and his assistant rendered very capable service throughout the season. D. S.

A., Ballande, Kean, Van Vranken Soccer Blessed by good weather and enthusi- asm, the 1952 soccer team did very well. In compiling a record of seven wins, two defeats, and one tie, they provided their opponents with some stout opposition and gave themselves pleasure and, inci- dentally, second place in the league. As a team, they were not particularly fast, but as the season progressed, their tackling and passing steadily improved; they became quicker to seize opportuni- ties. Leading the list of high scorers were the two inside forwards, Averell Carter with nine points and Morrell with six. Throughout the season, both showed themselves hard workers who gave the line some much-needed confidence. The halfbacks, with Captain Edwards at center and Supino on the right, were very capable. They checked the opposi- tion effectively and provided strong sup- port for the forwards. The fullbacks were at times known to mis-kick (Kean’s 63 speed was an advantage on such occa- sions), but they worked tirelessly and despite the loss of Haskins during the latter half of the season, they provided Berthelsen, who played an_ excellent game in goal, with sound protection. In the majority of matches the team consistently exhibited a heartening quali- tv: they were not afraid to come from behind to win, even down to the final game of the year with Groton, a tribute to the stamina and spirit of the boys. Finally, a word of praise to Sarkisian, the most efficient of managers. Also a word of thanks to Mr. Wiseman and Mr. Harrington, who gave unsparingly of their time and knowledge; a word of congratulation to Edwards, whose ex- ample was a lesson to the younger play- ers: to the younger players, a word of encouragement; and to all, the thanks of the coaches for whom they provided so many pleasant afternoons. Wituram E. Gaccon TENNIS TEAM Mr. Harrington, Gilmor, Armstrong, Edwards, Ridder, Hutchins, Mr. Badger Kean, Schilling, Haskins, Moore, Scott, Levy The Season The tennis team, composed of co-cap- tains Peter Moore and Tim Haskins and bolstered by veterans Kean, Levy, and Seott and returnee Schilling, commenced its season auspiciously with victories in its first five matches. Included was a win over arch-rival Milton, 6-3, a match much closer than the score would indicate and featured by a 21-hour singles win by Tom Kean (who never believes in winning in a mere two sets). The first reversal came at the hands of a strong Harvard Freshman aggregation composed of many former prep-school stars, 8-1. Pete Moore salvaged the team’s point by defeating Harris, ex-Milton star, while Haskins, Kean and Schilling carried their opponents to three sets. The team lost a tough encounter with Governor Dummer on Alumni Day, 5-4. The Hicks brothers of Worcester were un- beatable in singles and doubles and pro- vided the margin of victory. 64 The high spot of the season was the victory over Andover, 5-4. In singles the team lost four matches, but the three doubles combines of Moore-Schilling, Seott-Haskins, and Gilmor-Kean turned in wins to enable the team to come from behind and secure this fine win. Schilling, Moore, and Scott represented St. Mark’s in the Exeter Interscholastics. Hayden and Pete were defeated in singles and doubles in the third round, while Gene met tough luck in the opening round and succumbed to a Hebron player. The season closed with the traditional Groton match which stood at 4-3 in our favor when rain forced postponement of the doubles play. Moore and Haskins have made excel- lent co-captains. Mr. Carey is to be thanked most heartily for his fine work with the younger players during the spring. R. J. Harrincton uN eae qj é a . ACTIVITIES Student Council Stevens, Curtis, J.

The club recruited members at a phenomenal rate and soon became the largest organized activity in St. Mark’s—membership 58. A feature of the activities was the seventeen programs of films and slides, with both English and French narration. The movies varied from shots of Brittany and an art film on Matisse, to glimpses of the reconstruction of Aulnay in Nor- mandy. Toward the end of April, the club put on an evening of French songs and skits for the school. Perhaps one of the most vital aspects of the club was the series of discussions on Franeco-American relations held during the spring term. Scientific Society Out of the meeting’s confusion came order and martial law. Article II, Section C of the new constitution read: ‘Members failing to appear at three consecutive meetings are subject to expulsion.” Despite the rigorous rulings it had im- posed on_ itself, President Dave’s club stayed intact, culminating its year of activities in its Alumni Day exhibit of individual projects. Many persons could show tangible results of their work, such as the reflecting mirrors ground out by the Astronomy group, and the geiger counter and receivers of the Physies and Radio clubs respectively. But many could vet satisfaction alone from their projects, e.g., the meteorological man forecasting weather conditions (Aiken, what’s the weather for Saturday?) Dangers were few. The principal one resulted from slippery chemical labora- tory floors wet by frequent applications of bromine water. In propor tion to the society’s expanded horizons was the boy’s chance to become interested in a new field of activity.

But to have the time of your life despite numerous last-minute adversities is an even greater accomplish- ment. The class of 753, stretched out in the Sixth Form Room just before lunch on Sunday, February 22, admitted they had done both. A flu epidemic managed to claim two of the Form, and spring-like weather not only removed all possibility of skating but reduced strategic Belmont Field to a muddy swamp. But a weekend so long awaited doesn’t collapse in the face of a few difficulties. After spending a night scavenging the school for Sixth Form Room decorations and after spending a day in anything but study, the Form greeted their females as they graced the school at dusk on Friday, February 20. The weekend was on! The Barbers’ wing was invaded for a buffet supper of curried chicken, and then the couples returned to the Sixth Form Room, which was the starting and ending point of every weekend activity, a home base of operations. The traditional dance (in the Old Gym) was highlighted by fish-net decora- tions, swarthy waiters of pirate fame, and bold lower formers, who monopolized the girls before being reluctantly chased off to bed. The weekend really got on its feet in the remaining hours before the 12:45 curfew. Saturday dawned rainy, but the couples hardly noticed it as they spent the morn- ing, after breakfast in the Barbers’ wing, watching the gala premiére of Lion Films’ The Four Horsemen, engaging in a basketball tussle, or quietly chatting in the Sixth Form Room. A few of the more gallant members of rt 1 the Form carried their girls on their backs as the couples moved across swampy Belmont to lunch at the Arms. The meal was accompanied with high spirits and numerous songs, an air of joviality that was more subdued at the formal dinner that evening. After considerable difficulty in lining up transportation to the Framingham region, most of the couples departed for an after- noon at the movies. Everyone luckily caught the same bus back and took an enjoyable stroll at dusk from Fayville to the outskirts of Southboro. The big moment arrived as the couples partook of filet mignon in the dining room and later danced to the fine music of Ken Reeves and his orchestra. The evening slipped away much too quickly for everyone as it always does when you are really enjoying yourself. By the time the music stopped at one, most of the couples had departed for the Sixth Form Room or the masters’ houses to culminate the evening. Just at two the cloisters rang with footsteps as the Form returned, breathless but happy. Sunday morning everyone sleepily gath- ered in the Barbers’ wing for the final meal with the discouraging thought that the weekend was drawing its last breaths. After church, to the general dismay, the girls were whisked off. The clock struck twelve, Cinderella was gone, and every- thing was unfortunately back to normal. The sun had finally broken through and there was ice on the pond, but it didn’t matter. Everyone had been through a weekend they wouldn’t easily or gladly forget. Thanks for the smooth-running week- end go to Mrs. Barber for everything, to Mrs. Hill for the meals par excellence, to the faculty families, and finally to John Morrell and his dance committee. Dramatie Club March 7th witnessed the rise of a rather battered curtain on a not-so-bat- tered production. This masterpiece was the Gershwin musical Of Thee I Sing, the result of two months of prodigious re- hearsal by the 1953 Dramatic Club and its skillful coaches. Two months later, on May 9th, a second performance was given in an effort to keep the Alumni Weekend at its traditional gayest. The rather novel choice was made because there was not enough time after spring vacation to rehearse a special show for Alumni Day. So it was decided that Of Thee I Sing should this year take the place of the S.M.D.C. production and be presented again on Alumni Day. From the very opening strains of the overture, it was obvious that the skillful coaching of Mr. Badger and Mr. Shep- pard and the choreography of Mr. Paul Anderson had produced outstanding re- sults and had inspired the actors. 73 With a cast of 53, it would take me much too long to congratulate all those deserving praise. I would like especially to laud Berthelsen for his fine job as Fulton. I cannot bypass performances given by the two leading ladies, Bob Hutchins and Joe Curtis. Praise is also due to the committee members, on whom the brunt of the show fell. Besides these, I should like to mention Francois Bal- lande, who was superb as the French Ambassador, and the dancing boys and girls, whose floating legs and_ brilliant smiles kept the audiences constantly amused. But before I end, let me also remind you of the brilliant performance of President-elect Frank McConnell as the meek Alexander Throttlebottom. It was a great production. Let me first speak for the cast in thanking the direc- tors for an admirable job, and then speak for myself in thanking the cast for its hard work and cooperation. Joun Loupon Brantwood A slow, methodical step was heard on the porch. The boys snapped to attention. Slowly the shack door opened, disclosing Mr. Cook’s ponderous form closely flank- ed by Messrs. Freeman and Gerdau. The trio toddled around past the boys stand- ing stiffly at attention. The genial direc- tor’s eagle eye spotted a small broom- straw in the corner of the shack. With a sardonic chuckle, he muttered, ‘“Mark it down, Mr. Freeman; large hayfield in the corner.”” Thus another Sunday inspection commenced. In the next fifteen minutes, the shack went through a thorough search. Trunks were moved, beds were overturned, floor- boards were ripped in the frantic search for any kind of dust, dirt, or grime. Final- ly it was over. Mr. Gerdau eyed the boys, then proudly announced that the inspectors had found ‘ta huge boulder” (a small pebble), ‘tan enormous garbage dump” (a small sliver of glass hidden under a rock), and in the corner “‘a tre- mendous carnivorous beast’ (an ant), which tried to attack the inspector. “At ease!” cried Mr. Freeman, and the three inspectors pompously strutted out. Immediately angry voices could be heard inside the shack. “Why the h... didn’t you pick up that broomstraw?” “Say, how did that ant get in here?” “Oh that? It crawled off Mr. Ger- dau’s shoe.” So goes an average Sunday inspection at Brantwood. Such activities fill the day of both boys and counselors. There are the swim periods (efforts by the swim- ming director to prevent the boys from drowning each other); hiking (in which the counselors try to keep up with the boys); and finally the melodious campfire solos by Messrs. Cook, Gerdau, et al. So it goes. But life at Brantwood is a valuable experience for all. None of us who have ever been there will forget the ‘amp or the boys who went there. The Epilogue Finished. Six years of hard study and good times—sometimes legal, more often not—are finished. But nothing more than that? Do you see that First Former cavorting in his carefree, ingenuous way? He is not familiar to you, but he is you, and you are he, six years only in between. Those years have done much to us, and we to them. Many masters have made their impression on our characters. Many courses have done their work. Molded, sometimes battered, we have come through—not to look back with longing but to face the future with hope. Tomorrow we shall return to look again at the ivy and the memories, but today the future is ahead. 717 T IS BEGINNING 1O DAWN upon even the least observant of us that we are drifting alarmingly in the direction of a state-controlled economy. + ‘The momentum of our losses in freedom is gaining at a rapid rate, but we still have the choice between subjection and American freedom as we have known it. +� We are like the boy who dreaded his job of up-rooting a stubborn stump until a wise passer-by gave him an exciting reason for doing the job. He told of a pot of gold that might have been buried there during the Civil War, to conceal it from the enemy. The stump was up in record time. + In America our “gold” is not imaginary, nor is the “stump.” We must “dig”? to preserve the freedom that still is ours. + If we lose it, we end up as a nation of masters and slaves. Our habit of accepting unproven things as if they were facts eventually may cost us our heritage. + Our future depends upon individual initiative—upon what we do individually—not upon blind reliance upon others. - John A.

ADVERTISING OFFICES NEW YORK � CHICAGO - Perhaps it started with Eve—and humanity was thrust from the Garden of Eden because of it. Certainly the men of the Renaissance had it—Pasteur had it—Ejinstein has it. Call it an itch, a restlessness, a divine afflatus. Point or waggle your finger at it, with talk of Prying Peters or dead cats. Blame it on genes, a bracing climate, an extra convolution of the brain. But without it—nothing. Without it, mothers dying of puer- peral fever and men living in caves —without it, robotism and stagna- tion and the dead end. Always the American people have had it—a curiosity which will not be satisfied with dreams or appearances, but must probe until the lands are charted, the germ isolated, the truth exposed. May they have it as long as there is an America—for if it ever goes, America will not matter. TIME THE WEEKLY NEWSMAGATZINE BOSTON PHILADELPHIA ¢ CLEVELAND + DETROIT + ST.
