Form History We dedicate our Form History to William lf. Begg, -who has greatly tin- flucncefl and guided our actions. Behold, from the land of Long Island and New York, and California, and Phila- delphia, there rose up a mighty race, and they were united to be called the Class of 1957. And t.hcre was chaos when they came, and chaos when they were, and chaos when they were no longer. That dismal day in September 1951, when we arrived, was definitely to prove no boon to Southboro. 1Ve came, 14- strong, awed and cowed by the monastic apparition before us. However, only too soon were we to discover our more fiendish talents in Dorm A. Curt very quickly led us astray by t.ales of the wild orgies and bloody ll0I'll1 riots he had heard about. Entranced by l1is profound knowledge, we made him lead- er until his more condensable qualities became known. The first successful dorm riot was a. Downs, purge fmy name is Charles Broome Tertius Downs, but the fellas call 8 me Terryj led by Ian. The omnipotent D.B.,s wrath was tried by the ensuing series of riots which was culminated by a jelly bean war and a trip for Terry in a laundry cart into the clutches of Dorm B, home of the howling secondies. Doc freely doled out laps, the most dreaded of all punishments, and Ian rolled up the disturbing total of 310, which we eager young mathematicians soon found equalled running to Boston and back twice. Showing an unprecedented burst of spirit, Nick founded the Shooting Star as a vague sort of competition for the sec- ondies' Blue Bull. The whole Form lived for weeks off the ad money gleaned from unsuspecting merchants. The sports scene was somewhat dismal with the Midgets fighting out a Season of Defeats. Ian on the Seniors was our one shining light. In the winter, hockey proved the rage for all, except Nip who was sidetracked to Herkyis 1nat.s. The big winter sport, how- ever, was exploring the maze of tu1111els running under the School. Xvith the arrival of spring, the prefects, Mn Fenno and NIL Douglas, started a campaign against ominous mur- murings after lights and wheeled out a complicated sonar device to detect minute noises. A united shriek brought them staggering from their rooms, hand to ears. They had again gone down to a humil- iating defeat. A diversion was created by the found- ing of Mr. Hall's First. Form baseball team, which, sparked by Hoogie, came through undefeated in a two-game season. Meanwhile Bill ordered the Crew around on Fort lieadow. As Prize Day ap- proached, we gaped at the activities of the Fifth Form night on the quad, but at this point we set oul' sights no higher than becoming Second Formers and old kids.
