FOURTH FORM After going through a gruelling year as the lowli- est of the low, last year's freshman class worked their hardest and have now blossomed out into a class of which St. Paul's may well be proud. They have, dur- ing this past year, developed into well-seasoned upper schoolers displaying marked ability through their scholastic standing, through their extra-curricular ac- tivities, and through their athletic prowess. Getting together in the early part of the year, they elected as their class leaders president Victor Regan, vice-president Karl Waltlier, and secretary-treasurer Donald Bates. As we look at their academic side, we see the Class of '56 has indeed proved itself. President Regan and Stewart Smith take the top positions, and they are closely followed hy Godwin, Nolan, and Holzberger. ln addition to being scholastically inclined, the sophomores have also proved themselves athletically with a representation on all teams. On the Red and Black varsity football teatn we find the names of Sky Smith, George Cook, and Dick Koester, all of whom contributed considerable to making the season the suca cessful one it was. On the ,layvee were Bates, Plath, Holzberger, Menafra, Poz, and Sanders. To the soccer team the sophomores contributed Regan, Asdorian, Wong, Churchill, Costello, Daniel, Hartley, Trump, Fouquet, and manager Stober. Wlinter sports also found an array of sophotnores participating, with Koester, Regan, Stu Stnith, Dean Lambros, Fred Tuck, and tnanager Bob Hansen form- ing the bulwark of the j.V. basketball teatn. ln wrestl- ing the Fourth Form was represented by Cook, Daniel, and manager Stober. XVith the cotning of spring, in all probability Regan, Stnith, Wong and Fouquet will be trying for places on the varsity or j.V. baseball team, while other members of the class will be out for the track and tennis teams. The class of 1956 is also represented on the Record with Dick Koester, ,lim Nolan, Vic Regan, Stu Smith, Bob Stober, Homer Godwin, and Ed Millere. These boys have contributed a great deal to the Record by their timely reporting of tnany of the events which we read about each week. Earlier in the year the Fourth Form gathered in the Trophy Room in order to participate in the dedication of the Xlifilliam Brenner Memorial Room, which was tnade possible by the proceeds of a tnetnorial fund dedicated to Williaiit Brenner, a classmate of theirs, who died during the sutnmer of sleeping sickness. Stuart Smith spoke on behalf of the class and told how well Bill was liked while he was with them. On the lighter side of school life, we discover that the sophomores are extremely protninent. They were represented at the annual school dance by Fouquet, Smith, Trump, Poz, and quite a few others. Besides being well disposed scholastically and ath- letically, this group has also contributed its share to all the fooling and roughhousing that has gone on this year, and wherever they go, an uproar of some kind will be found. They even lent quite a bit of tnirth to that famous sport, League Basketball . As we depart, we, the Class of 1954, wish them the best of luck in anything they undertake. Pt1geTo1'ly-one

FIFTH FGRM The graduating class of 195-1 presents below our esteemed successors, next year's seniors. This iunior class is a small one but a line one, having proved it- self both scholastically and athletically. Under the supervision of Messers. Barrett and Tit- comb, faculty advisers to the iuniors, they early in the year chose Cregory Gibson as their president, Stan- ley Lomax as their vice-president, Donald Kittell as their secretary, and Williaiii Seibert as their treasurer. ln the same meeting they named Gibson, Petrou, Rex- rode, Seibert, and Vanderllill to serve on their Ring Committee, a position of some responsibility. Scholastically the Fifth Form has added its quota of names to the Honor Roll, with Donald Kittell tak- ing lirst place. As in the other classes, there are many iuniors who miss the Honor Roll by a few points only. As they have in the last few years, the Class of 1055 has again displayed an excellent school spirit by participating actively in all sports. ln the fall they were represented in varsity football hy next year's co-captains Scoop Seibert and Ronnie Petrou and Stan Lomax. There were no participants on the jay- vee team, but there was an ample turnout for the soccer team. Among them were Herb jellander, Kam- run Balmer, Doug Hall, Bob Rexrode, Don Kittell, Charlie Vanderllill, and Doug Wise. In the winter the Fifth Form contributed five players to the varsity basketball team, namely VanderHill, Petrou, Rusty Hawkins, Kittell, and Lomax. However, they had only one representative on the iunior varsity, Tom Mac- lnnes. In wrestling the class of ,55 gave St. Paul's an excellent basis for a team this year, contributing Bud Convey, Chris jones, Scoop Seibert, Kamrun Baher, and Doug Ilall. This spring will probably see Kittell, VanclerHill, Hawkins, Petrou, Lomax, and Seibert out on the dia- mond giving hot competition for varsity and junior varsity positions, while others will try out for the track and tennis teams. On the staff of the Record the Fifth Form boasts reporters Burns, Maelnnes, Kittell, Lomax, Petrou, Vanderlrlill, Wise, Seibert, and Cibson. lncidentally, it was Maclnnes who won the animal school advertis- ing competition held by the Rogers Peet Co. As well as being active in other lields, the class of '55 have shown themselves to be quite accomplished socially. To the St. Paul's Day dance they sent Gil?- son, Tuck, Kittell, Hawkins, Burns, Hall, jones, and many others. They also helped in making the annual Senior-junior Prom the great success it was, Many other bits of gaiety about the town and the Island had in attendance quite a contingent from this merry class. In addition, the juniors added another accomplish- ment to their list, namely the election of four of their number to the Stewart Society-Cibson, Lomax, Kit- tell, and Maclnnes. This was indeed an honor for them, for election to this society is based upon citizen- ship and not upon athletic activities, as many soci- eties are. The class of 1955, however, is anything but a bunch of angels, for, like the Fourth Form, they get into a lot of scrapes in their constant search for merriment and fun. The juniors are the life of the school, second only to the Fourth Form. As we, the Class of 1954, depart, we wish for the juniors the best of luck. lt is our desire that they con- tinue to uphold the best of the St. Paul's traditions. Yy7e are confident that they will do so. I'uoNT Row: jones, XVise, Kittell, Burns, Wiltoti, Rexrocle. SECOND Row: Convey, Maclnnes, Petrou, Hawkins, VanderHill, jellancler, Hollmann. THIRD Row: Corrao, Shogren, Hall, Gibson, Seibert. Puttt' Toi ly

THIRD The fall of 15153 brought to St. Paul's an outstanding class of freshmen, and immediately they showed their eagerness to get started on the right foot. ln spite of the razzing of the upper classmen, they have done a good iob and earned the respect of all. This group of hard working lads began the fall semester with a bang by electing for themselves the following officers: president, Theodore Moss, vice, president, Stanley Brandebury, and secretary-treasurer, XXlilliam Stetson. With such excellent leaders they have had a successful year and proved their ability by set- ting an example for others to follow. ln the field of scholastic achievement, they have continued to attain the highest average of the four upper school classes. On the honor roll one always finds the names of Frees, Gardner, Walker, Webster, Brandebury, Behrens, Dauvergne, Frieze, T. Moss, XVeiss, Woodley, Sutherlin and others. ln the various sports activities the freshmen have also been very prominent. Playing on the varsity foot- ball team and winning his maior letters was Bill Stet- son, who contributed greatly to the team's success with his speedy running. Also on the varsity squad was Charlie Fischofer. Winning ,layvee letters were Von Roeschlaub, Venable, Brandebury, Moss, Rustmann, Wleiss, Frieze, Martin, Nilsson and Amann. Repre- senting the class in soccer were Knickman, Riedell, Walker, Dauvergne, and Webster. During the winter term the ,layvee basketball team had three of its out- standing players from the Third Form-Frieze, Stetson, and Brandebury. lf they continue to improve as much FORM as they did this year, they should be representing Sancti on the varsity in the very near future. Repre- senting the school in varsity wrestling were freshmen llustmann, Fischofer, and Vonlloeschlaub. Rustmann wrestled in the 114 pound class and Fischofer in the 129 class. Besides these varsity and ,layvee activities, the Third Formers kept busy during the winter in the intra-mural basketball league. With the coming of spring many of the freshmen were out for baseball, tennis, and track, giving stiff competition to upper classmen. Other extra-curricular activities also engaged the freshmen, for they were to be found busy in the Sacristans C-uild and on the staff of the school paper, the Record. These boys were also most helpful in the presentation of the Christmas Pageant, for they formed the greater part of the choir. Socially the class has been in no way backward. At the annual St. Paul's Day Dance were Fischofer, Can- ning, Dauvergne, VonRoeschlaub, Knickman, Venable, and Walker. Many of these same lads were in evi' dence at various St. Mary's functions, at the junior- Senior Prom, and at other parties about the lsland. All work and no play never made this group dull lads! One of the nicest things about the class as a whole is their eagerness and willingness to cooperate. Witli such a spirit they should go far. As we, the Class of 1954, leave the school, we de- sire to wish this group every success. Wle are certain that if they continue as they have begun, they have a line future ahead of them. l:RONT Row: Fischofer, Stetson, Venable, B. Keller, A, Keller, VonRoeschlaub.
