Form History The seed was planted back in the dark ages of 1950 when eight wild-eyed First- ies and Rube trooped through the gate to take their places in the annals Calthough it might, in this case, be more aptly dubbed the rogues' galleryl of St. Marks Although only one of the original nine weathered the six-year st.orm, out of this inauspicious beginning grew the class of '56. It wasnit long before our presence was felt. quite painfully by the rest of the school, and given the impetus of Aaather, a refugee from '55, and Dickie filly name's Doane but the fellas call me Te-xl life was never dull. It isn't. unusual for a First Form to be told that it is the worst everf' but in our case we had that strange feeling that it. was probably true. Armed laundry carts t.rundled out of Dorm B, usually in the direction of her brother clorm, cutting paths of destruction wherever they went. llairy Harry Wiest managed to top the grub list. by com- piling an unbelievable record of eighteen nlessies in twenty-one days. Yes, '56 in that first year was no paragon of behavior, or of anything else for that matter. Aaather dabbled in crooked politics and Dickie in green ink, a weapon which struck terror to the very core of anyone within range. The climax of the second round of Ail.tlit,l16l',S bout against St. lX'lark's came one wild night when he was found by Doc Begg pouring a three-gallon can of water on Dickie's head. And so, while we remained oblivious to anything outside our own little spheres, t.he year charged -happily by. Even in those days we were not ex- ceptionally gifted as a form on the athletic fields. In fact the Midgets, in which we were well represented, managed to lose for the first time in four years. Only Harry forsook football for the glories of soccer. A faint glimmer of talent was shown by Dave in the nets for the Third Squad hockey team. But at times even Dave's goal tending powers were shaky, to say the least, and he found that certain equipment Cwhich shall remain undefinedj, necessary for the art of goal tending, can be embarrassing. As the end of the year approached, our main thoughts were centered around getting out and becoming old boys when we returned in the fall of '51. VVe found to our dismay upon returning that our ranks had been diminished by the absence of some old familiar faces. Two youths, however, joined our number as repeatersg Luddy and Louie could not bear to leave the cozy comfort of the Second Form. Although most of the form was new, the word got around swiftly that dorm raids were in fashion, our adventurous spirit was, however, quickly stifled by a word to the wise from the British Sea Lord. As the year progressed this advice did not always prove suffi- cient. We spent one week-end learning to live togetherv before we finally hit our stumbling stride. Before the year had fairly started, Lonely Loren prepared to leave for sunny California late one night, suitcase and all, only to be confronted at the door by one of Dorm C's stabilizing influences, hir. Hall. After pleasantly inquiring after Blaster VVhite's health, the genial housemaster asked the lad where he was bound. VVhen no specific reply was received, VVanderlust VVhite was advised to return to his cell. He unfortunately departed permanently a few days later, having unwisely depleted Holland's sup- ply of thumbtacks without increasing their store of hard cash. Athletics played a decidedly insig- nificant part in our life, as t.he once mighty Midgets giggled through a de- feated season. Shinny was the accepted winter pastime, 'though a few cold- blooded souls kept to the confines of the court. Most of us tried our hand at club baseball, but the majority ended up too calloused to appreciate the fine coaching that started a select few on the trail to glory on the diamond. Crew was blessed by a slight waif of a cox, who usually answered to the name of Teddy Guy. A modest lad with the name of Jackson began a sheet called the Blue Bull, which was intended to provide competition for the Blue and White. The tabloid's hard working editor got nothing out of his two efforts at printing but a tidy sum, weasled from a few unsuspecting com- mercial men in town who were led to believe that they were renewing their ads in the St. Blarker. The year of physical growth was livened by a duel to the death with brooms between a none-too-bright English stu- dent and that long-remembered Third Squad hockey goalie. Neither of the participants sustained severe injuries, however, thanks to our dictatorial pre- fects, one christened Lana because he resembled his filmland namesake in no way whatsoever, and the other tagged Digger for reasons never divulged. During the year we were constantly exposed to tales of the rough-'11-ready exploits of Chuck, who pushed anywhere between five and a dozen liianhattan flatfeet into back-alley gutters. This same lad later was rewarded with a smelly', by a sensitive room inspector who found the aroma of Chuck's cage too overpower- ing to allow entry. After two inferior Groton teams were routed to serve as encouragement, the class of '56 looked ahead to the Third Form and its first hints of responsibility. Brantwood store was destined to set a record for profits and broken bottles, while the proponent of perfect pronunci- ation and a bashful blond from Boston were headed for a proxy battle, and also a successful year, for the Blue and Wh-ite. As the slowly maturing cubs straggled back to the beckoning walls of the school, they repeatedly stumbled over throngs of new Third Formers, who, after a little sifting, were eventually to make the form what it is. We found ourselves divided between Dorms B and E, which formed a perfect contrast. The former was governed by the dearly beloved doctor, while Dorm E was still a British protectorate. The inmates of B resorted to planned revo- lution, which was culminated by Squam- toi' VVooten, a misplaced Briton who was convinced that popcorn, if planted on the Sabbath at dawn, would grow from the floor. Any uprising was squelched by the prefects, better known as Gourmands, with a little assistance from Doc Begg. Dorm E, on the other hand, was well satisfied to lead a life of peaceful co- existence under the iron rule of their formidable prefects. Athletically, we were still nothing to brag about, but Jerry outperformed us all on his improvised trampoline, until one day the undercarriage gave way. All that was left of this popular indoor sport was a damage bill for one straw pallet and a set of bedsprings. The footballers shone under lilessrs. Trefry and Coe, and what few of us snubbed bodily Contact took to soccer with hir. Harrington, who was so discouraged by our attitude on the Held, and elsewhere, that he packed his sweaters and left these hallowed walls for greener prairies. From our point of view the year was dominated by the Philly clique, led by Kink, which was never to renounce its firm convictions or decrease its ranks. These boys developed the aristocratic set of the form, with their cultured tastes in music and sausage. They soon began to run the form, opposed only by the Rocks, who maintained a sort of guerrilla warfare against the angelic hosts of Dorm E. They were later to be recognized as the Redcaps. not to be confused with the railroad porters. . . .and before we had much of a chance even to look forward to it, we rolled into the upper school. Upon our return we found five distinguished new boys, who soon added! their character, intelligence, and athletic ability to a then mediocre class. Dave did only enough work to lead the school every yearg Bob confined his talents to music, athletics, and studiesg the Wvorm added a calming infiuence to our raucus lower school waysg and Jainks gave us a southern flavor. Vasco rounded the Florida Keys from Jamaica to tread upon both the stage and our egos. We were spread all over the third floor, and managed to stay in trouble most of the time. In our stunning suites on Yvest and North 3 we were controlled by Bishops', Trefry and Adams, who did their best to suppress the usual budding Fourth Formitis. Fingers Brewster, whose continued presence in our ranks remained something of a mystery, was unchallenged as public menace No. 1 on his new stamping grounds along North 3. Our new history master and all-around coach instigated a revolutionary idea: essay questions. His offer at the beginning of the year looked loaded, but, as it turned out, a complimentary 60 and un- limited cuts was a proposition some could well have afforded to take. Crocker C., our golden boy from the beaches of California and Florida, found an A to his liking in Mr. Saunder's jometry class, while Crocker D., referred to in the familiar as Darvoo, sunk to the sixties in the confusion. Darv and his roommate Cartie were a quiet pair in their immacu- late West 3 hideaway, and this little section of the world soon became famous for the studious perfection of its inhabi- tants. Gus and Jerry discovered their forte on the football field that year, and in the winter Rod and lileegie garnered numerals in hockey. The chill weather was not infrequently given warmth by a pair of guitars, neatly handled by Jer and Jax. With Russ on the gourds, Caravan became nearly identifiable, and on oc- casion Brooksie added his uninvited and questionable vocal talents. In general, 'though, little worthy of lnore than incidental note was accom- plished that year. Talent in music and athletics was shown in places, and a well- selected cast made a hit out of hir. VViseman's French Play, in which the ham was served well-done. But most of us had our sights set on the Fifth Form, where we would reach the stage of privilege and authority. It was very doubtful whether we met qualifications! Upon our return in the fall of '54-, some faces were not unexpectedly missing, but we all hated to see boys like Dink, Jake, and Nick leave us. We shrugged off such thoughts, however, and turned to more important considerations. The craze of power stunned some long enough to keep Room A well filled after supper for a while, but the novelty wore off in most cases, and after the Black List Club inaugurated proceedings with nearly a dozen charter members for the first month, we realized that there was work to be done. Toward the end of the fall term, the darkest chapter in our history, the roof fell in. Although the exodus of nine left us perplexed at first, we soon saw everything in the right light, and we were sufficiently impressed to realize that this disaster would prove the solution to many problems. Athletically, we tripled our represen- tation on the football squad, and had a big hand in soccer's league-leading record of 10-1. George, returning from Paris, led our delegates on the soccer line, while Chip and Louie starred among the backs. That winter, George donned the blades and sparkled with Rod on the first model of the hockey machine. hlike and Gus ably contributed to a winning season on the court, and Jerry battled his way to a captaincy on the mat. Captain Hank and a lucky right-fielder who had discovered the secret of the Texas leaguer gave vital assistance in a tense win over Groton. Crew drew some perspirants, but social tennis was the big attraction. Car- tie and Bubbles both played respectably, but none could rival Chip's tan 651.98 a bot.tle, Abererombie'sj. Some went out fo the track and some went out for it. But the spring brought with it a game called lacrosse, invented by the Indians and played by the Wild Oneg Carl, Wavy, Rock, and Pogo also ran fand ran and ranj. The most entertaining and useless feature of the year was corridor life. A few fortunates got away with North 2, where the accommodations were first class compared with the corridors of chaos, South and West 2. On the former, a door left intact after an evening's frolic was a rarity, and the example set by the seniors was one which we were to try unsuccessfully to equal. There were other considerations which were handled in a more responsible way, as our literary efforts made their imprint on the publications, the Joctet blended in unsurpassed harmony, and the Burners caught fire. But the year drew to its close, and we left for a much needed respite, gazing longingly but patiently at the verdant sward of the quad, feeling equal to the challenge of reaching the Sixth Form, but willing to wait three months. Thirty-eight seniors of a somewhat more serious frame of mind returned that fall. But after mutual felicitations had been completed, and some old acquain- tances renewed, it was hard to get down to work. Joining in our enthusiasm was a Swedish cowpuncher, of whom great things were expected on the rink. Tex proved to be adept at more than hockey, as we quickly discovered as the days passed. We hold ourselves lucky to have had in our midst what was, in our minds, St. lNIark's finest Field Service Student. There were some new classes to adjust to, as well as new privileges, and probably we lnade the most of them. Current Problems was so confusing that some decided to spend more time in the vicinity of a master's room on West 2. A continual improvement was much sought after, and those who saved their talent for the last tests were well rewarded: however, all was soothed and smoothed, and Philoso- phy Six, more properly known as Edu- cation, was a compensating factor. The usual lack of written work in History was greeted with t.he usual vigor, and manicure sets were available at the School Store for the customary exorbitant prices for the last hour of the t.erm exam. Captains Gus and Jer ably led the gridders, only to end the season on an expectedly losing note to the tune of 20-0 in favor of Scottg and Captain Chip helped the booters to another fine year. Seholastically the averages climbed, as we felt the pressure of collegeg anyone without an 80 was belit.tled as a dolt. Bridge addicts flocked to the board at any available moment. The butt squad assembled at every meeting in The Studyn, and it swiftly gained members after carefully observed training rules were waived as the seasons closed. The mail crush, however, was squelched after the Pen Pals struck fear into the hearts of even the most staunch and courageous faculty members by their nightly sortie down to coffee. Tex and Hugh were the reasons for most of the governmental revenue with their monopoly of its mailsg but something looked fishy when all Barney's correspondence was addressed in the same handwriting. The G.-SLI. Dance night festivities began with the second of Georgeis animal dinner parties, and ended as the boys dribbled back from Condon's, their spirits hardly dampened. One apartment, under the auspices of its cigar-smoking host, bore the heaviest brunt of the eve- ning, as a generous portion of the form set up base camp there. George and Tex sparked the machine to a pre-season win over Hill in the con- fines of Madison Square Garden, they continued to embarrass and outplay their opponents until the last crystal of ice could be coaxed from the exhausted rink. Gus led the courtmen to a less successful but creditable season wit.h able assistance from Mike, Bob, and Steveg and Jer was captain and our sole representative of the mat thulnpers. The butt squad came out of hibernation long enough to pant around the rink, occasionally niauling lower formers on the new club hockey teams. But more often than not these smoke- breathing fiends were drubbed in return by the bet.ter conditioned midget skaters. Dance weekend was the highlight of the winter term, and we were pleased and proud to play hosts to thirty-six gorgeous gals. This was an event, if not an experi- ence, to remember, and it was not at all hampered by the unforeseen snowfall which restricted most of us to indoor activity. There were a few blind dates, and Rube did well in this category, much to the discomfiture of a fellow from Hop- kinton. There were also several attempted suicides when Tex's invitation was turned down by Anita E. But we weren't Worried about Chrisg he knew every girl on the East Coast anyway. ltfeanwhile, the publications flourished: one conspicuous by the absence of the editor's name, the other blaring its head's literary achievements across every square inch of space. VVave and his boys gave forth with their second edition of Saint Jlarkis Confidential, a magazine that bared the very soul of our Florida- California Golden Boy, and revealed a future juvenile delinquency expert. Russ starred in the Dramatic Club's suspenseful success, well aided by the skillful scenery produced by Jawge, who finally resigned from the Anybody Who's Anybody Club after Nick the Greek introduced craps there a few years ago. VVe returned after Spring Vacation to find that the Athenian Nicholas had paid us a secret visit and the game of cham- pions was instituted at St. lNIark's. Each night after supper the foreign cries of Little Joe and I'll cover emanated from a shady corner down at coffee, and more than one convert was at least tem- porarily won over from bridge. The snows went, spring came, and one balmy day Kink tried to knock over the flagpole. But this proved a bit more diffi- cult than he thought. In the melee the pole landed a left to the schnozzola and Jim landed in the infirmary. In the case.of Russ versus the Walnut Hill Junior Chorus, the former won a ten- round decision by dint of his stunning solo. Alumni weekend came, and six pairs of hairless legs, the likes of which have never been seen in these parts, rocked and rolled through a stimulating dance rou- tine. Draped in swathes of billowy chiffon, t.he Bacchus sextet fluttered their way into the hearts of everyone. Thomp brought the measles, better known as Six-form-itis, back from Spring vacationg they caught on without any trouble. Perhaps he was trying to elimin- ate competition. Baseball climaxed a fine year by out- lasting Groton for the fifth straight time in a duel down to the wire. From the seed, planted six years before, the plant had grown and borne fruit. The lean years and prunings had given us the strength necessary to pull through the final trials with such success.

The Fifth Form The stout Lion viewed with pro- fessional pride '5'7's 25th reunion: It was interesting to see how all the boys fthat's what they were when I last saw thenij had changed and what occupations they pursued. They had certainly changed and grown fair, fat, and fortyish. All of the class came up to me at one time or another and patted my mane, weather- beaten from long, damp winters and scorching summers. The first t.o arrive was the Long Island contingent, dressed in conservative Chipp suits and proudly showing off their wives. I remember t.hem as an' easy going lot who never gave a hoot about their work but somehow did splendidly on exams. Time had taken its toll. The next person to approach me was easily distinguished by his bow legs and abundant black hair. In a brilliant business transaction, Mick had made his first million before he was out of college. Long since he had retired on the Italian Riviera, where he followed his hobby of posing as a gigolo in some of the most fashionable resorts. Former captain Jim and quarterback Charlie came up to- gether and seemed happier now than they had between the half time of the Groton game. Charlie had turned his skills to engineering, while Jim had ironically become an Optometrist. Dar- ragh was the only person who turned into a professional at.hlete. He had long since outplayed Hashim Kahn on the squash court and was still outplaying everyone else on the dance floor. I could not help shedding a tear when I saw from my pedestal the last grads of '57 leave the school. But I knew that within a. few years there would be an- other frowning Hall, another smiling Schuster, and another long-winded Nick- erson.

Looking to see how we had survived the night, we noticed, with not much surprise, the absence of Bill and in his place three slightly different characters. Fred had slept over and found himself in '58, At breakfast we found that Gumps had taken all the milk to nourish his fingers. Later in the morning hir. hiagoo, whose intellectual powers are sometimes doubt- ful, was so interested in history that he joined both sections, while Pin attended neither. The contest between Rufus and George during classes was close through the whole season, but George finally won the series. After recess a few of us took to running around the track to clear our lungs of vacation's evil. Later at lunch with Piggy as our waiter most of the food failed to reach the table. lVhile Ace awed us with his marksmanship, several un- known saboteurs applied foul-smelling concoctions to the radiators of various Fourth Formers. J. C. was so convincing as a shrewish wife in the French play that an elder faculty member almost sent flowers. Radish and Crowning Shield carried on the dramatic spirit in Brother Orchid. Athletically, .the form has amassed a total of aboutitwenty letters, Tamazzo topping the form with five. As night approaches, we sleepily look back over our Fourth Form career, and notice that, although we did not improve the for1n's low standing, we had many good times. And by the lessons we have learned today we look forward to a brighter tomorrow. Veeder, Bigelow, Pockel, Fearon, Anthony, Ireland, Goddard, Cabot, VVebb, Hollins, P.

Since the form was composed of many hackers, such as Mick the Spic, US3.IlllJ0llC,,, Ears, and Grundy Grease, the year proved pretty exciting. Very soon Dorm E was engaged in a war of flying prunes, cookies, and other mushy debris. The granddad of all hacks came when Dorm E gave Gus and Steve a good-bye riot and welcomed Chris and Stu. Dorms A and B also got their share of fun, with Marky usually getting chased out of Dorm B. Our representation on thc four highly successful lower teams ranged from Charlie on the ltlidgets to Grundy and Nez on the J.V.'s. The Juniors, capt.ained by Gav and Steve went for another undefeated season as did the Seniors led by Cy. After all, with Pig- gy's playing part-time center on the Seniors, how could they lose? Ryland emerged as chief classroom entertainer as the Virginian Fireball nearly drove Mr. Davis frantic with his French accent. In hockey, the Third Squad, mostly composed of Third Foriners, was cap- tained by Monk Fearon. The classic J.V. Little line, consisting of Mike, Cy, and Chuck, had their troubles, chiefly because the players were usually where the puck wasn't. Chris, abandoning Brantwood for late practices under lights on the Gardner Rink, was outstanding in the nets. As we look back on this past year, everybody agrees that it turned out to be mighty successful, and we all are looking ahead to a 1957 equally colored with the unexpected, the awkward, and the en- joyed.

The Second Form As thefirst term got under way, twenty- one new boys joined the nine veterans who had managed to survive the preceding year. Thirteen unlucky Secondies, much to our regret, were tossed into Dorm C with t.he Firsties, while the remaining Secondies retired into Dorm A, with some sophisticated Third Formcrs. One thing the new boys never got used to was answering the new kid buzzer. As the year dragged by, the old boys found more and more persuasion necessary and the new boys became more and more forgetful. The Juniors got under way with another hot', team this year. Under the great coaching of Mr. Trefry and a little teamwork, the Juniors had an undefeated season. The Second Form played their part 011 the team with Wlilly at wing back, and E. F., Mac, Mitch, Joe, VVarren, and Teddy making a solid line. The llidgets were led by their back- field, which was made up of Jamie as captain, Carl, and a couple of unco- ordinated Firsties. The fantastic Third Squad hockey team had little time to practice because of the bad ice on the pond all season, although they did have an excellent team. The Third Squad basketball team didn't fare as well as the hockey boys, much to the regret of stars Ross and Ned. In the spring a few of us took to the water and the rest of us hit the baseball diamond, playing club and Third Squad baseball. Skey, who played J.V. baseball as well as J.V. basketball, was the athletic standout. Next year the class of '60, joined by a horde of new boys, will look forward to a year as successful as this. WVe can only hope it will be as eventful as the past one has been. Bower, Mitchell, S., Petersen, J., Sheppard, J., Thorne, Clark, Hutchins Stohn, Carlisle, J., Callaway, Brigham, Duffey The First Form One by one we came, nervous but anxious, to meet St. Mark's for the first time. lVhat was this new life going to be like? lVe feared it would be int.olerable living in dorms, rising at 6:4-5, bearing the burden of endless prep, and undergoing the reproaches and low marks of jap', masters. At first we felt. 1nise1'able, but soon our feelings changed. lVe remember that Mr. Sheppard asked oneof our denser members to write the scale of D on the blackboard and that the result resembled t.he first nine letters of the Greek alphabet. Although most of us learned the hard way, Mr. Sawyer managed to pound into our heads the ability to change a decimal to a per cent. In our Dorm C hunting grounds while padding our slate records, we caused our share of the nightly uproar and managed to hold our own quite successfully against the Second Form hordes. In the fall Brink and Joe battled down on Barton field with the Junior footballers while the rest of us aided Mr. lflen's mighty Midgets. Except for Sam, John, and Kit, whom Nlr. Coe claimed for wrestling, the majority of the form suc- cumbed to the lure of the Gardner Rink and played hockey on the newly organ- ized club teams. Jim and Al, however, we1'e the stalwarts on the second line of the Third Squad. Jerry was a cox this spring and three of us took up lacrosse under Doc Avis. The remaining ten were enthusiastic club baseball players. Looking back on the past year we know we have enjoyed itg we think we have learned something, and we hope that St. Mark's doesn't dread our return next year as much as we ourselves are looking forward to it.

F .r c-. to gr , g ,P fi The Season This season's record of two victories, t.wo ties, and t.hree defeats is considered by the coaches to be a good one, especially in contrast to prospects at the beginning of the year. The change from a single wing attack to a version of the split-t featuring the drive series enabled the team to advance the ball much better than had been expected. Most of the boys were up from the junior varsity and senior teams and lacked the experience for varsity competit.ion. A little more experience in directing offensive tactics might have given us a better record. Inexperience was also a big factor in defensive lapses, which often nullified good defensive play in general. Except for the three touchdowns scored by the powerful Groton team, no team scored more than twice, and even Groton found the going difficult. Lack of a power- ful or break-away runner is definitely a handicap to any team, since the yardage has to be made in short chunks, relying a great deal on deception. We must have more speed and better passing to improve on this year's record. In the first game against Nobles the offense moved smoothly, and our two touchdowns proved to be enough for a St. lNlark's victory. However, when the team moved to St. George's, the going 46 was much more difficult. Vile took t.he opening kick-off and marched straight to a touchdown, scored by Jones on a buck. St. Geox-ge's tied the score, but we came right back with another touchdown on a pass from Shields to Lynch. Time ran out, and we were victorious, 12-6. Our first. loss was suffered in the Bel- mont Hill game, 14-6. Three pass inter- ceptions by Belmont were major factors in holding our offense in check. This game was followed by two ties with Middlesex and lllilton. In both of these games we failed to take advantage of numerous scoring chances, for which we suffered. The 12-0 loss to Governor Dummer was played in pouring rain. llfistakes in the St. 1Iark's secondary were costly, but outside of this it was a well-played game. Groton's line was the biggest factor in their Q0-0 victory, and again our faulty secondary was costly. The best team won, but our boys could leave the field with their heads up because of their fine- spirited play. Much of our success was due to the excellent leadership of Co-captains Gus Alexander and Jerry Jones, who were an inspiration to their teammates. Bly thanks to lXIr. Sawyer for his valuable assistance in molding this year's team. E. E.

The squad of necessity was too large for the number of fields available, a situation that we hope will be alleviated next year when Thayer Field is finished. The numerous substitutes, how- ever, were the most loyal, unselfish, and vociferous supporters of the team, and on the occasions, both in games and in prac- tice, when it was impossible for them to share in the action, the bench-warmers bore their lot with exceedingly good grace. Though disappointments lnust have been frequent, it was a pleasure for the coaches to work with so willing a group. The forward line was not particularly fast, but as the season progressed it developed a short passing game that was often effective. Spangberg, at center, with fifteen goals to his credit, and Herrick, at inside, became adept at this method of attack and t.heir example was quickly followed. Many were the times that a series of passes between Herrick and Martin and Thompson on the wing caught the opposing defense off balance and presented an opportunity to score. As a line they were quite unselfish and here perhaps was their weaknessg for in front of the goal in an attempt to set up a per- fect shot for one another, they often tended to work the ball too long. Toward the latter part of the season there was a period when goals became very scarce, but to their credit be it said that the for- ward line regained its scoring threat in the last game of the year with five very satis- fying goals against Groton. The major strength of the team was to be found in the three more experienced halfbacks, whose steadiness and skill rapidly made the eleven a unit and in the earlier games dominated the midfield play both offensively and defensively. This line of Crocker, Herrera, and VVickes covered a tremendous amount of ground and as a matter of fact was unbeaten until a knee injury sent Herrera to the sidelines at a critical point i11 the season. Urmston came in to fill his place, trying to make up for inexperience by enthusiasm and aggres- sion, and Crocker covered even more ground than previously, but there is no doubt that we felt the loss of Herrera. Defensively we proved to be surpris- ingly strong, how strong the record of 27 goals to 14 shows. Jackson had never played in the goal before, but he learned so rapidly that in the hiilton game he saved a penalty shot-and the game- with all the coolness and skill of a veteran. At fullback Wendt and Sculley worked well together. They played vigorously, if not skillfully. Though miskicks were not unknown, they covered for each other, and later in the year they learned to place their clearing kick so that it be- came the first blow of an attack. For all their inexperience, they developed into a very reliable defense. The thanks of all of us are due to hir. Mamarchev, who gave so freely of his time to share his experience and skill, and who played no small part in the success of the team, and to Bridges, than whom We have never had a more efficient manager. A pleasant and satisfactory season, due to the willingness of the squad and the lead- ership of its captain. NVILLIAM GACCON HOCKEY St. Mark's 2 St..

The one just completed is certainly no exception, and was the more enjoyable because of the success achieved. The record speaks for itself: 13 victories, 1 t.ie fwiped out by a decisive win in the last gamej, 2 losses, a standing of second in the League, 81 goals scored against 31 by opponents. The reasons for our success are clear. In general, the enthusiastic, abandoned play of the entire squad in practice and in game was a joy to coach and rooters, a cause of wonder and pain to opponents. After the 8-2 drubbing administered to one of the best teams in the State in the final game, the amiable Natick coach remarked, YVe haven't seen anything like this all year. You rushed us off our feet, beat us to the puck, outfought us in the corners. Then too We had unusual depth for a schoolboy team. Our first two lines were so nearly equal that all season they alternated starting assignmentsg I never had to worry which line was pitted against the opponents, first. The third line fLockwood, Fenton, Stewartl, aptly dubbed the tigers,', saw considerable action and amassed a total 21 points. We were fortunate to have Charlie Mackall as spare forward to fill in capably on any line when the occasion demanded. He saw a lot of action. We had two dependable goalies, and five defensemen about equal in ability who shared the play throughout the season. In fact, when the time came for Captain Herrick and me to discuss the awarding of letters, there was no dis- cussion: in a matter of seconds we agreed that every member of the squad deserved his S. lVI. The abandoned play was provided chiefly by the wings. All six Uohnston, Captain-elect Curtis, Avis, Ingallsg F en- ton and Stewartj were terrors on the ice, fearless and aggressive, at times to the point of ferocity. Our rivals should note that five of these ngentlemeni' return next year. Such wings are vital for any team. Clever, intelligent centers, who can stick-handle and forge plays, make a team jell. VVe had three such centers. Captain Herrick set a good example not only in enthusiasm and hard work ffirst for practice and last to leavel, but also in his play. A clever stick-handler, he is one of the most canny play-makers I have had the pleasure of coaching. He had the knack of making the right pass at the right time and learned to make plays usually impossible for a schoolboy center. To him, more than to any other indi- vidual, goes the credit for our success. Christer Spangberg, Sweden's gift in all respects to St. lXIark's, was an able play- lnaker, graceful skater and stick-handler, and high scorer, who delighted in showing that he could more than hold his own in rough-and-tumble American hockey. The team will always remember both his skill and his good humor. Tiger center Lockwood, the most improved player on the squad, scored 8 goals including a vital one against lNIilton. The one real regret of the season was that Rowland, after two years of varsity experience at defense, could not play. Through sheer determination and at- tention to detail, Martin made himself our most dependable defenseman, whose polliwog-like skating will remain a phe- nomenon of St. lVIark's hockey. The other defensemen contributed equally to our success: Guiler through his courageous tireless playg Louis Mackall through his stick-handling and hard shotg Lanier and Kirkland through their frequent offensive sallies. Goalie lllichel was a major reason for our good season. The best tribute I can pay him is the captain's and my decision in December that counting on lVIickey, we could aiford to move Spang- berg from defense to center. Our confi- dence was not misplaced. Goalie Wickes saw considerable action and always gave a good account of himself. Finally, Manager Sturgis, efficient and cheerful, was an important and integral part of the squad. Captain Herrick's team fittingly cele- brated for me my twentieth year as coach, and I am proud to pronounce them one of my four best teams. W. W. BARBER, JR.

W. 54 I The Season Now that the tumult a11d the shouting that spice the basketball season are but memories, one can look back and think of the games won and lost more ob- jectively. This past season a total of fourteen games were played and 781 points scored. St. Mark's came out on top in six of them: twice Noble and Greenough were de- feated, lklilton Acadelny, St. Sebast.ian's and Pomfret were also our victims. Middlesex, St. George's, B1'ooks, Bel- mont Hill, and Wlellesley High School were in the winners column, with lN'Iiddle- sex, Brooks, and Belmont Hill winning twice. Perhaps our most exciting game was with St. Sebastianis. On February first our Blue and W'hite quintet edged out St. S8b3,Sti3.ll,S 50-417 on our home court. Credit for this win should go to lX1ike Frey, Steve Barber, Bob Jackson, George Lynch, Andy Goodyear, Hank Sykes, and Gus Alexander. In this very close game, Captain Gus Alexander alone netted 20 points. He was excellent on the rebounds offensively and defensively. Our games with Noble and Greenough and Milton Academy did not prove to be much of a challenge. ive had the ad- vantage of speed, height, and control of the ball. Unfortunately, in our encounters with Bliddlesex, Brooks, and Belmont Hill we were out.played and lacked tl1e aggressiveness that sparks victory. I think our finest game this past season was with Pomfret. The reason I choose this game is that our team seemed to click in every way. VVith Captain Alexander and Hank Sykes under the basket taking care of rebounds, George Lynch in the center, Andy Goodyear, Steve Barber, and Bob Jackson as our driving forwards, and lNIercury hlike Frey, one of the fastest men in our league, St. Mark's chalked up a dazzling win. Our zone defense was very tight. Gffensively our Blue and White drove the ball to the opponents' basket again and again. This season gave us a 4-6 record in the Prep School League putting us in fourth place. The Prep School Basketball League for 1955-56 was: lst place . . Belmont Hill 2nd place . Middlesex 3rd place , . . Brooks 4th place .... St. lVIark's 5th place . . . lNIilton Academy 6tl1 place . Noble and G1'eenough Each member of the varsity will long remember Captain Gus Alexander as a capable, hard playing, loyal leader. The second Milton game best exemplified his leadership. VVhen at the end of the third quarter we were trailing by three, Gus and the team exploded. Breaking fast from our end, Alexander would take the ball down to their zone, and feed it to a forward who would score. Before Blilton could recoil, St. Mark's had scored 16 points to their 2. Needless t.o say we won, '71-62. In the fourteen games played, Gus scored a total of 259 points - a little better than 18 points per game. Gus was an inspiration to his team in every way. Next year we have three returning lettermen, Captain-elect George Lynch, Hank Sykes, and Andy Goodyear. These three and such up-and-coming hoopsters as Bucky Shields, Jim Poitras, Lonny VVheeler, Dave Gaffney, Charlie Wlood, and Clark Grew should produce a well- balanced squad. I wish to express my thanks to manager Frank Jarvis for a job well done. Tony has been an efficient, reliable manager. I would also like to thank Mr. Howarth, who was responsible for moulding the team and putting it on its feet. Wie all missed hir. Howarth sorely while he was in the hospital. Effort, cooperation, and team spirit made this year's team a memorable one. JAMES D. INIAMARCHEV, JR.

II., Patrick, S. van Nagell, Harvey, Gaston, T., Faliuestock Cillanagerl 57 The Season With five returni11g lettermen, the wrestling team opened its season against liflilton Academy with rather discouraging results. Vile lost 29-6 to a superior teamg but it must be noted that, as has been the case in past years, we could not fill two classes, and a ten-point handicap was too much for us to overcome. Johnny Howarth and Tommy Gaston were our only win- ners, but some of the other matches were close. The 21-8 victory over our next op- ponent, W'ellesley High, gave us a decided lift. 1Ve lost only two bouts, and the wrestling of Howarth and Daggett Harvey was outstanding. Needham High School has upset us, in the past, when we have had good winning streaks in progress, and thus it was particularly pleasing to overpower them Q3-18. The maximum number of total points that can be scored by both sides in a match is 45, and thus 41 points repre- sents considerable fall activity. Smith, Howarth, Patrick, a11d Gaston wo11 by falls and Jack van Nagell took a close decision. 1Ve lost two matches by pins, one by forfeit, and the other by decision. Our next match against Vilorcester Academy was unsatisfactory from two points of view: first of all both teams had to forfeit matches, and secondly there were several quick pins rather than close hard-fought decisions. The final score was 28-10 for us. I consider the Governor Dummer contest one of our best performances, even though, after leading during the first half, we were overcome near the end of t.he match, 18-14. Peter Coe, Captain Jerry Jones, Johnny Howarth, and Dag- gett Harvey were at their best in scoring victories, while Van Nagell earned a hard- fought tie. Dave Smith and Tommy Gaston both should be proud of their efforts even though they lost. Browne and Nichols, a team which took third place in the New England Interscholastics, was simply too powerful for us. Jack van Nagell, Howarth, and Gaston all won by falls, accounting for our 15 points, but Browne and Nichols was superior in the other six classes, scoring QQ points. Perkins Institute has not been able t.o muster a strong team during tl1e past few years, and the score of 35-8 is ample evidence of their plight. We shall meet them next year with our J .V .s. We all had hopes of defeating Noble and Greenough School because we had managed to do so last year in t.he face of heavy odds. However, victory was not possible, because of our weakness in the lower and upper weight classes. Second- former Obregon could not quite cope with the sixth-former from Nobles, and Stuart Pat.rick at 162 pounds was not a match with the 185-pound Noble's captain. We found ourselves at the short end of a 24-11 score. At North Andover we finished our season against a Brooks team which looked somewhat better than we did on the basis of comparative scores. Our 25-15 victory was sweet, for it not only gave us a much-desired strong finish but also a 5-4 margin in the win-loss column. Jack van Nagell was superb in over- coming a versatile opponent: Dave Smith came through with a. five-point victory: Captain Jerry Jones exhibited unusual courage and skill in winning a very hard- fought matchg Stu Patrick decked his opponentg Johnny Howarth, showing his usual courage and skill, moved up a class to meet the Brooks captain in a thriller which resulted in a ticg and ever faithful Tom Gaston turned in another fine performance to win by a fall. Our captain for 1956 is John Howarth. He has wrestled since his first-form year and is unquestionably the most skilled wrestler we have on our squad. He will have lettermen Jack van Nagell, David Smith, Daggett Harvey, Stuart Patrick, and Tommy Gaston, plus a number of promising candidates to help him mould a strong and, I hope, enthusiastic wres- tling team. Wfe shall, of course, miss Captain Jones. Jerry has been a very competent wrestler and an inspiring leader. His spirit. and ent.l1usiasm did much to help the team. D. E.

Our pit.chers were clubbed hard and the support. was rather porous. The following week, however, a team definitely inferior to Roxbury Latin's usual standards was badly beaten, 22 to 2. Then Milton was defeated by an 8 to 4 score. To our dismay, in the next two games we were shut. out by Belmont Hill, 5 to 0, and liliddlesex, 3 to 0. Belmont deserved to win, as only one St. ltiarker reached third base and our opponent's runs were all earned. Errors and our silent bats contributed largely to the shut-out loss t.o hliddlesex. Three out of the next four games were marked by improved pitching. Jerry Skey was given the assignment of stopping a strong Governor Dummer team, and he responded with a well-pitched game, win- ning 3 to 1. We had another free-for-all at Nobles, where hits and errors occurred enough on both sides to keep t.he game interesting, with Nobles finally winning, 10 to 8. Then came the game with Brooks, undefeated leader of our league. Again Skey pitched well, allowing only four hits, and should have had a shutout. A fielding lapse enabled Brooks to tie the score, but a squeeze play in the tenth inning gave us a well-earned 2 to 1 victory. After ia shaky first. inning, John Lanier settled down and handed Pomfret a 5 to 2 defeat before a large Alumni Day gather- ing. Extra base hits predominated, with Lynch getting a home run, a double and a. single to take batting honors for the day. The Groton game turned out to be one of the most exciting games since the 1952 classic. Jerry Skey pitched his way out of several holes, an achievement. which can be easily recognized when one notices that Groton had fifteen men left on base. Al- though we were out.-hit, We got several clutch-hits that made the difference. Our biggest mistakes were in judgment, both in fielding and base running. Good relief pit.ching by John Lanier in the ninth inn- ing stopped the Grotties at '7 to 6 with the tying and winning runs on base. Great. credit is due to Captain Wlinsor and his team for their late season showing, while George Herrick's four hits and Henry VVinsor's home run in the Groton game will give them something to tell their grandchildren. Bly thanks go to Mr. Ulen for his great help during the season. E. HOWARTH N 62 CREW D. S. M. LANIER C. PLATT W. E. GACCON Coaches S.

For the first time i11 a good many years there was ice 011 Fort Meadow Pond when the boys returned from spring vaca- tion. It remained until the morning of April 16, a Nlonday, and for the next two days the boys had to wade the boats into the water to launch them for praet.ice, a novel experience. When the dock was mounted, of course, the necessity of walk- ing around in ice water was removed. The first race was scheduled for April 28, too soon after the first practice for crews really to be ready. Gunnery and S0l1tl1 Kent, who had been practising perhaps a week longer than St. Mark's, were the visitors. As usual, races were between first, second, and third boats, and Gunnery crews were victorious in all three. The St.. Mark's third and first boats edged South Kent, while our second boat came in last. At. this point, the first boat consisted of Fenton at bow, Dilworth two, Tom Gaston three, Wickersham stroke, and Bill Nickerson cox. In the second boat were Stanton bow, Coxhead two, Harvey three, Pulsifer stroke and Saccio cox. The third boat. contained Spencer at bow, Schwartz at two, Ireland at three, Ned Itossiter at stroke, and Welch cox. On May 5 we met Brooks and Noble and Greenough at Brooks, and the follow- ing Saturday rowed against Pomfret and Browne and Nichols at Pomfret. In both events St. hIark's crews finished last. In each case the first and third boats man- aged to make a race out of it, but the second boat was well outclassed bot.l1 times. During this period, various changes were made, with the result that. by the time we reached the race with Behnont Hill on our own course on May 19, per- sonnel among the three boats had shifted considerably. However, once again all three crews were beaten. The final event in the racing season is the regatta on Lake Quinsigamond held annually by the New England Inter- scholastic Rowing Association. This year seventeen schools were represented, ten rowing fours and seven racing in eights. There are morning heats among first and second fours, followed by races for first. and second eights, consolation races for the fours that didn't qualify, and finals for first and second fours. Winners of the Regatta receive the Father Sill Trophy presented in duplicate, one for fours and one for eights. This year Gunnery and Kent were the winners. St. iNIark's second boat lost to all but Choate, and the first boat was last in its heat. Seatings in the two boats at the time of the Regatta were as follows: the second had Fenton at bow, Wickersham at two, Harvey at three, Pul- sifer stroking, and Nickerson cox. Bow in the first boat was Spencer, two Fulton, three Gaston, stroke Rossiter, and cox Welch. Mr. Charles Platt, of the class of 1948, joined the squad this year as assistant coach. Boys who were rowing for the first t.ime were his interest and he did valuable work getting second and third formers off to a good start. The most outstanding performance among the beginners was managed by Eric Petersen, a second form stroke. When two boats of beginners were taken to Cambridge to race on the Charles the stroke of one became incapacitated. With a twenty-minute rest in between, Petersen stroked both races, losing the first but bringing awinner the second time. Shaw Bridges of Form Four has as- sumed the duties of Crew manager. Though without previous experience he has turned in a fine performance and gives promise of being a very valuable member of the squad. This sport requires equipment that is in good repair and is therefore particularly dependent on a manager that can keep pace with constant maintenance demands. D. E. LANIER ' if his TENNIS TEAM hir.

The Season The tennis season opened with only one member of the 1955 squad, Captain Charlie Fenno, back at St. INIark,s, and got off to a slow start because of this year's late spring. IVe won our Hrst match with VVorcester Academy by a narrow margin, with Martin, Jackson, and Stev- ens carrying their matches in the singles, and Stevens and Johnston taking the only doubles match that there was time to play. Almost equally close was the match with Brooks. VVe won four singles and Johnston and llackall carried the third doubles necessary for a victory. St. Mark's went down in the next t.hree matches to very strong opposition. We lost to Milton, 5M to EBM, and Belmont Hill beat us Gyg to QM, although Fenno dis- tinguished himself by his win as number one player over Clark. Middlesex won a sweeping victory, but most of the matches were very close, with Jackson and Hare each going to three sets. The match with Wellesley High started so late and ran so long that it had to be called at a tie of three all. Wfe took Gov- ernor Dummer for the first time in many years in an exciting 5 to 4 match, with Fenno winning at number one against one of the famous Hicks brothers, and there was an equally close win over Pomfret. Finally we lost to Groton by a disappoint- ing 9X2 to 1 score, although Fenno again distinguished himself by defeating Scott at number one. In spite of the fact that it was a split season C4 wins, 4- losses and a tiej the team deserves credit for the spirit and improve- ment shown by all members down the line. A good deal of credit goes to Captain Fenno for his enthusiasm and hard work throughout t.he season. And, last but not least., Itlanager Frank Dexter's conscien- tious work made things infinitely easier for us. W. I. BADGER, III LACROSSE SQUAD Hollins, G.

The season was character- ized by steady improvement and in- creasing enthusiasm from the players, half of whom had not played before. The first game was with the Lawrence Academy varsity, which was composed of older and more experienced players. In spite of this, the game was a good, hard fought one with Lawrence winning, 6-3. Andover's J. V. was next on the schedule, and St. hlarkss won neatly with a score of 6-2. The hardest fought game of the season was against the Deerfield J.V. After jumping to a 2-0 lead in the first quarter, we lost the game in the last minutes of play, 3-2. Penalties proved costly, as all of Deerfield's scores were made with one or more St. hlarkers in the penalty box. In the final game we easily shut-out Governor Dummer, 7-0. In order to give younger boys experi- ence, a post-season game was played with Lawrence Academy J .V. Only boys in our first four forms played, and although Lawrence won, 10-2, many St. hlarkers showed great promise. It is hard to select the outstanding players, for the team worked well as a unit. Howarth was high scorer and a constant threat. Avis was second highest, and his solid blocking in the goal area was of great help. The midfield of Straw- bridge, Thompson, and Spangberg kept our opponents worried in all games, and they enjoyed their share of the scoring. The defense was ably led by Perry Wickes, backed solidly by Gus Alexander and Jim Poitras. Buff Hodgson, who tended t.l1e nets, could always be de- pended on. With the team led by Co-captains Howarth and Poitras next year, we should enjoy what may well turn out to be our best season yet. FREDERICK R.

Peter Parr The Octet The present Octet began in the spring of 1953 when a group of enthusiastic Third Formers decided to blend their, at that time, rather questionable vocal talents. They spent the following year perfecting their style and five of their members have forever endeared them- selves to the hearts of St. Markers as comely maidens in Strictly Businessf' Since the fall of '54, when the group first performed as the J.V. Octet, they have sung sixteen times on various occasions. Early in 1955 the Octet found it actually had nine members. Perhaps their most famous numbers were two of the first they ever sang. The mournful Rebel Soldier became their trademark and a rendition of H -industan might well have earned them billing as the Nasal Chorus. The en- thusiasm of Jon Yvendt and the patience of Mr. Sheppard have made the group one of St. lNIark's finest octets. Q FT? ,.- fl O 2 N -Fi X' ' ' L. S X - -ee L f nl uf fyl ' fx ' 5 Qgxxtxll .

Thomp- son, Herrick, Spangberg, and Gibbs becalne the leading addicts, but they were not greatly above the high level of ability shown by other afl'icionados. One du- plicate match was played against the Fifth Form team, which the Seniors won by a narrow margin, the losers aequitting themselves with skill and showing much promise for next year's tea.m.', The highlight of the year, however, was a match at hliddlesex which we won with little didiculty. Mr. and Nlrs. Howarth started in the first slot, while Thompson and Spangberg, Gibbs and Herrick, and Hughes and Poitras played in the follow- ing positions. The visitors well outscored their hosts in this duplicate match, bring- ing the season to a successful finish.

Before the week-end had officially begun, a voluminous issue of our well- known tabloid came off the press and put us in the proper frame of mind. Then Barney, the spacemobile, and the girls careened up to the front gate and things began to roll. After a quick dinner Friday evening, thirty-six girls were wafted about the streets of Paris Calias Benson Auditoriumj at the whims of the lower five forms until said forms could be persuaded that their time was up. A rather gay Eiffel Tower on Benson's stage reflected the mood of the evening. A snowstorm on Saturday dampened 110 one's enthusiasm, and '56 and dates charged madly off in all directions to Sear's Hill, Gardner Rink Cwhich was being industriously shoveled off by lower formers repenting Friday nightis sinsj, and even the basketball court. Lunch at the Arms and a close basketball game helped fill out Saturday's daylight hours. After the traditionally sumptuous filet. mignon dinner, the week-end reached its climax, as '56 once again took to the dance floor, despite the quiet agony of those foot-sore couples who discovered that basketball and Arthur lilurray didnit mix. iVitl1 the evening's ecstasy broken only by a vociferous but flattering cheer from the Fifth Form, we danced to the strains of Harry lNIarshard's music on into the night. A groggy Sixth Form bid dates farewell Sunday morning, and Barney, the space- mobile, and the girls lurched off. Another Sixth Form week-end was history! '76 Dramatic Club VVhen a new play comes t.o town, the name of t.he star goes up in bright lights. But the incongruities of monks and gangsters that delighted the 1956 Dra- matic Club audience proved that in Brother Orchid every actor could be a star. It is easy to recall the trembling fruit vendor, the suave gang leader, the benign abbotg each of the actors who portrayed these and other parts, created a fine return of modern dramai' to the St. lNlark's stage. Mention of Brother Orchid cannot be made without the presence of a feeling of awe at the realistic costumes and full stage settings. And, unknown to the audience, the speed and precision with which the show operated mechanically may be attributed to a fine production crew, managed by George Crawford. How is it possible to have a play wit.h- out one or two outstanding stars',? First must colne a plot situation which demands parts of direct and equal importance. The eleven parts in Brother Orchid were filled by people who could meet the challenge of this situation. To praise a few would be unjustg Ned Rossiter, Bucky Shields, Ned hloore, Dave D'Costa, Dick Radsch, Steve VVilberding, hlickey Michel, Peter Mar- tin, Bill hlartin, and Rusty Fahnestock all were stars. hir. Badger, Dramatic Club direct.or for the sixth straight year, may be rightfully proud of this year's performance, which so well exemplified- his technique. After first choosing actors who fit their parts to perfection, he instills in each of them quietly, and almost vicariously, t.he qualities of good acting. By opening night he has transformed the show into a success. To President-elect Peter llartin and hir. Badger: May '57's show be a Smash Hltln JoN R. WENDT The Revue Spicing the Spring Term with its own unique brand of gaiety, the 12th annual musical comedy was presented to a ca- pacity audience on Alumni Day, lVIay 19th. Wild Oats turned out to be a rib- tickling revue with skits, songs, and dances. The high point for hilarity was Henry Winsor's ballet interpretation of Bacchus, whose wine-prompted gyrations brought to life a corps-de-ballet. of incredible agility -if not beauty. hir. Paul Ander- son's choreography was brought to a show-stopping climax in this masterpiece of a bacchanalian orgy. lilusical numbers were delegated to the Octet and Jocktet. Their joint production of t.he opening Liars' Conventionn was crisp and lively. Jim Jenkins, alias that zany professor, Luther Burbank lVIcGoon, and dapper Lovable Roy QTom Urmstonj were unforgettable in this number. Jon Yvendt as the boy, and Ralph C'aw honey, stop it j Bacon as the cute-but-over- sized girl, were outstanding in the novelty song How Can I Say I Love Y ou? The Joctetis version of Beauford Butlerf' featuring Jock Goodrich as the zoot- suited Beauford, added quite a touch of color to the show. In straight comic roles, Gus Alexander deserves special mention for his vivid portrayal of the pet-loving Maxie,,' and Pete Dominick happily injected some of his own buoyant personality into his im- personation of the efficient Head Nurse, Bliss Franklin. With sets by George Crawford and George Clements, an able stage crew headed by Brinley Hall, and guidance by lNIr. Sheppard, Who, with Theodore Brierley, wrote the lyrics and music, and Jon Wlendt, VVild Oats provided rol- licking entertainment. Brantwood DEAR MOM: Gosh! this camp is neat. It's just great to get out of hot, dirty Jersey City and into this swell country for two weeks. The camp is on t.he side of a hill across a valley from the highest mountain in New Hampshire. There is a swimming pool which makes my hair turn green and foams when I jump into it. The camp director, Mr. Cook I think his name is, smokes grubby cigars and, like the other director, is rather fat. Bly counselor is a nice man named Mr. Jenkins, who is real big and strong. But sometimes I wonder about these counse- lorsg hir. Jenkins, who is thirty, says he has a wife, but he won't tell us her name. hir. Newman almost drove the truck into the pool yesterday. Today lNIr. ltlartin made six errors in the baseball game and Mr. Herrick -how can anyone strike out in softball? It's never been done before. Yesterday we got back from a three- day hike. We climbed ltlt. Nlonadnock, and I still don't understand how lNIr. Gerdeau made it. We spent that night at a place called Dark Pond and had a wonderful meal when we arrived there. The only trouble was, so did the mos- quitos. It was loads of fun, but I have never had so many peanut butter sand- wiches in my life: peanut butter sand- wiches for breakfast, peanut butter and cheese sandwiches for lunch Cughll and peanut butter sandwiches for supper. Really the food is great ithough, and these shacks aren't bad either. The one I live in has a queer Indian name that sounds like scratch-a-cooty. The older boys have been telling me about an award a few of the best campers get, called a stayover. I sure hope I get one because it means I can come back for another two weeks. Love, LOUIE w 80 The Epilogue Having broken through the line of scrimmage and left. behind its interference, the Class of 1956 is on its own but not in the clear. Ahead lies some broken-field running and in its path a horde of tacklers, including that Q00-pound monster, college. At this stage in the game we are thinking ahead, not looking behind. At the moment, what lies in store is of more importance to us than what we have already passed. But there will come a time when what we shall remember of our school life will only be those events the pages of this book bring back to us. Then those now intangible impressions which a school can leave will be most strongly felt.. 1956's school career is over, but St. Mark's has left. us with something which we will always bear with us. 81 The Chemical lndustry has grown faster than you have And when you're 37, the chemical industry will be five time: larger than it is today! That's because this new giant gets its vitamins from chemical research, from men in laboratories who turn ideas into new or improved products and processes. No industry spends a bigger share of its earnings on research. No industry realizes more thoroughly that this year's research creates next year's jobs, comforts and indus- trial profits. Research is the cornerstone of progress. Plastics, detergents, synthetic fibers, anti- biotics, aerosols, weed killers, insecticides- all were graduated during your lifetime from laboratory test tubes to everyday reali- ties. Yet they are merely stepping stones to the achievements of industrial chemistry tomorrow! Career opportunities in this fast-growing industry open wider each year. Now is the time to think over the possibilities a chemi- cal career holds for you! A. 0 - D16 11101161 .
