War Af!z'w'!z'e5 Af Safzool 1 Z LTHUUCH not a military school before the war, nor now that war is over F X 1 Even before 1917, when the war cloud rested upon our Southern border and I Q Q trouble with Mexico seemed imminent, seven of OL11' sixteen graduates entered -elf the military service of our country: Uonoho, T. Scott, Vest, X1 ilhams, Mottu, Osburn and Brittle and were upon the Mexican border all that summer. , . lNhen the crisis with Germany became acute other alumni joined the ranks or entered the training camps. In -I une, 1917, every graduate was either in the army or in one of the training camps trying to get in. Wlhen the armistice was signed 92'Z, were enlisted, the rest in A. T. C. VYithin the school events were progressive. ln April, 1917, a petition was signed by every boy in the upper school asking that universal military training be made compulsory, and it was sent to Hon. Ci. Ci. Carlin, at that time our representative in Fongress. Im- mediately thereafter four squads were formed and were instructed daily by Sergeant, later 1.ieutenant,D. P. XYood, -Ir., under whose patient and tactful handling the raw material was made by the end of the year an earnest and fairly presentable company of cadets. ln the fall of 1918 lieutenant, lV1orson Keith took charge of the company but was or- dered to active service before he had an opportunity to do much, and responsibility was placed upon Dewitt V. 13. Thomas, of the graduating class. He had so well profited by his work at Plattsburg and at Princeton that the development of the company in the manual, in drill, in bayonet work and in rifie practice was beyond all expectation, and the company marched to town and formally ohfered their services in case of need to His Honor, the Mayor of Xtlarrenton. This otifer was gracefully accepted, and the company returned. The incident seems slight, but was significant in its fuller import, for the company was able and ready to do business. The fact that the United States was at war made a more complete adoption of military training seem advisable, and in September, 1918, Vol. james E. Dunn, formerly Com- mandant of Silver Spring Academy, New York, became our Cilommandant. A man of rare ability, combining with strict disci- pline and hard training the utmost charm and magnetism, he effected the transition from a home school to a military institution with rapidity and precision, yet without a jar or discordant note. llnfortunately for S'1'llYYlCS.X NT, this splendid man was stricken down in the prime of his usefulness and vigor and died of the llu on December 2nd, 1918. He was succeeded as fommandant by Captain H. C. liley. who continued successfully the military duties of the schoolg but the cessation of war activities made con- tinuance of military routine unnecessary, and in September, 1919, S'1'L'YVESANT became again the home school it was at first. 113 I 7 ' the record of S'l'tIYVIisAN'1' is one of which we are justly proud.

CHORUS- Cheer boys, for Stuyvesant , etc. The Uufzloor I' 1HE Fates were unusually kind and bounteous dur- ing this past winter to those members of the school who are devotees of skating, skiing and coasting. I f g No one could complain of a lack of ice on Major McIntyre's pond or of snow on the surrounding hills or of glorious days in which to enjoy these pleasures. There was some skating to be had even before the Xmas holidays, and this continued with short intermissions until the middle of March. There were several heavy snow storms during the winter and many Hurries and as soon as it was possible to slide at all, the front lawn would have several of the younger boys and perhaps one or two of the elder boys coasting down the terrace and in among the shrubs. But the crowning pleasure of the winter came in the middle of january. It had snowed for several hours and then had turned to rain. Soon a bitter Wz'nfer Sporty wind swept over the mountains and up the valleys and turned our mixture of snow and water into clear ice fully an inch thick. For several days there was skating on every hill and field in the county and some of the fellows skated back and forth from the town to the school. The whole countryside was coated with this hard ice and it soon became a serious problem with the farmers. It would have been almost suicide to attempt to coast down the Conway Grove hill and that about Paradise was very dangerous, nevertheless a great deal of coasting was done and luckily nothing serious came of it except for an accident to Elliot Randolph who collided with a handy telephone pole. He was not very seriously hurt. ln about a week the ice melted much to the grief of some. On the whole, the season was what might almost be called a true Northern winter and provided plenty of occasion for pleasure and exercise. awww? WW N ii .,ll-- it X .. Rims? Rzklzhg ?QbF LTHOUGH riding has alwaysbeen a favorite form of exercise at Stuyvesant it has been more popular this year than ever before. More boys have ridden, and there has been more active participation in the drags and fox hunting than in former years. During the glorious days of autumn, when the turning leaves had made the forests change to gold and the crisp air sent the blood tingling through the veins, the hunter's horn called forth a goodly company: Mrs. King, on Beauford, known to boys of earlier years as the gray colt and now a beautifully developed type of ladies' hunter, Mr. King, on Silver Locks, now eleven or twelve years old, but the winner of many a race in days gone by, Deford, on Massanutten, another veteran,-The Master's horse in the Green Spring Valley and a perfect type of hunter, long of neck and large of bone, a grand fencer, Liggett, on Cyclops, also known to Stuyvesant as the black horse that Ike Keith used to ride so well on every drag, Parkinson, on Firefly, a grand bay mare, so good that he sent her on to Boston for his mother to hunt, after which he bought Peter Pan, a fourteen hand pony which will be heard from this summer when Nat rides her in the shows near home. Last of the strictly Stuyvesant stable comes Ginger, Mary Forbes King's pony, almost as large as Peter Pan, and full of snap and energy. Riding with these each day, sometimes upon one horse, sometimes upon another, but always going and always going well, wasiTom Vl'aller, such a good little horseman that everyone is always anxious to give him a mount which Tom returned with interest every Saturday when he would take boys home for the weekend and mounting them upon something of his own would give them the hnest kind of hunting over the Bull Run mountains. The day boys riding regularly were VVallach on Steptoe or Ben XN'yvis, Thurston Clark on Paul or VVaterloo Pike, Sprague on Rocks, Preston on Beauty, and Isham Keith on his good little Shetland. Upon steeds less known to fame, though still perhaps noble in their lineage in spiteoftheirhumblelivery stable home,Hyde, Byrd Clark, Scott, Quincy and Neville were frequent par- ticipants of this king of sports. The prolonged cold of the past most unusual winter, and the ice and frozen ground, chilled the ardor of a few, but never daunted MajorVViltshire-Awho after Christmas brought down his tried, true mare Yarico-Deford, VValler, or Parkinson. These four were out be the weather what it might. YVith the advent of spring the full company is out again, with a newcomer in the school stable, First Aid, full sister to Beauford, and who bids fair, with VValler's riding, to rival her famous mother, Soubrette, a perfect hunter. But in- terest in riding reached its highest point in the Warrenton Country Club races when in a field of sixteen entries and twelve starters Major VViltshire won second place on Yarico. VVith so much interest this year, we look forward to even greater sport another year. -. S'l'l'YX'I2S.-X NT STQVL BOARD fiilzlefie Committee SAMUEL W. M,Xl'l1IS, JR., President JOHN F.

Although F 7 handicapped by its light weight, it will go down -f 1' il in the annals of the School as remarkable, not so much because of its brilliancy as because of the arg out hghting spirit. With but two veterans on the squad, andwith avery short preliminary practice, the team won the majority of its games and closed the season with a decisive victory. The first game scheduled was with St. Albans', at VVash- ington and resulted in defeat for STUYv1Qs,xN'r by a score of 18 to G. Howe and Clark in the backheld rushed well and gained much ground. They were strong also in defensive work sup- porting the light line in front of them. At end, Deford played fast and hard, and became Acting Captain at quarter when Maphis broke his collar bone and retired. One of the features of the game was Howe's forty yard run. The two other games worthy of record were with the Alumni on Alumni Day, and with Chamberlayne, closing the season. 1 VVilliams C131 captained the Alumni and played right half. Supportinghim were Donoho, '13, at left half, Coleman, '14, at full and Marshall, '14, handling the ball in old time style at quarter. The team contained such well known warriors as Brittle '15, Hall '14, T. Scott '13, Meadows '19, Nesbit '19, Tomes '19, Osburn '14, Thomas '18, Zell '19, Maphis '17, The surplus number was due to the large number of substi- tutes. VVilliams led his veterans to the field in full confidence of an early victory, but STUYVESANT outplayed itself and gave its older and heavier opponents all they could do to win by a score of 12 to O. The prospects of a good team were anything but bright when school opened in September. Two members of the team who expected to return did not do so, and the new team was light and inexperienced. Practice was started at once and the team began to develop and mature. The School was lucky in getting for physical director and coach, Mr. C. T. Brittle, a man who has football down to a science, is an alumnus of the School, and knows how to handle boys. 1N'ith his coach- ing the team showed a spirit of pep and energy. The lineup was as follows: CLARIQ, B., f. b. I.Aw'1'oN, E., l. h. b. Howie, r. h. b. Dmfolzn, r. e. WAI.1.ixcH, 1. g. SCOTT, c. PAULnINcs, r. g. BOWMAN, r. t. CLARK, T., r. e.

The team was started in the Q: Q9 winter term under the able direction of Major pgfgipit Turner VViltshire, a former Virginia runner. ln spite of the late start, the track men were in good condition, owing to their fall football training. The first active work took the form of cross-country runs, and hare and hound races. These races were about three miles in length, the course being marked by scraps of paper. Major VViltshire increased the interest and training for these races by offering a cup to the boy showing the best spirit. The winter track culminated in a meet under the direction of Mr. Bateman, who came down to take charge of boxing. Unfortunately we were not able to have any dashes or long runs, as everything was carried on in the gymnasium. VVorkouts every day were started after Easter on the track. However, a good many of the men were out for baseball and, consequently could not devote much time to track. Major Vliltshire is giving special attention to the half and quarter miles, as well as to the dashes. Neville, Liggett and Hyde have been working the hardest in track. VVith these men and Maphis, Deford and Scott in addition, there is no doubt that the team will show up well in the meets at the end of the season. The Hrst meet comes off May Sth, at Central High School, Vllashington. Teams from three states will compete, hut we expect S'rUvv1zsANT to make a good showing in this as well as in the St. james' meet on May 29. Semior Even!! RUNNING HIGH JUMP RUNNING BROAD JUMP I.

Nevertheless the team has made a very 254:11 good showing for itself. Practice began April 19th and the squad turned 2 Yi-WAWY fi out with the old STUYYLQSANT pep The team was very fortunate in secur- ing Mr. Brittle, a S'I'LIYvlcs.xN'I' alumnus, and Mr. Pratt, an old University of Virginia man, who is a regular baseball wizard, who with his perseverance and hard work has put into every man on the team a fighting spirit. The entire success of the team this year has been due to the efforts of these two men. Captain XYallaeh has shown throughout a good spirit and tireless efforts toward perfecting his squad, also in the field he has shown himself to be a good player. Maphis, a veteran of four years and the captain of last year's team, twirled to Clark B. with his old time form even bettered. Clark re- ceived the ball admirably, saving many scores for S'I'Uvvlcs.xN'r. He is one of our heavy hitters and next year will be one of our best men. Although the smallest man on the team Randolph held his position, shortstop, with great skill. The second sack is next and we come to Montgomery, also a small man but one who proved one of the best, The initial sack is next, held down by Deford. He was one of our strongest hitters and played his position well. Thurston Clark on third is also a good man on the base and played good ball. Last but not least come the fielding positions and we find here Collins, a strong pitcher, in right who camps right under the pill. Scott, a man in center who did not show so well the first of the season, is now one of our best and has brought in mftnx runs hx his pinth-hitting. Bowman, a sub who has played in many games, has shown tip well. Keith, ino ier sub, is a good mln Ill tht field, who will he a first-string man next year. 30 W P A Tear Book Committee RICHARD VY,x1,I.Axc'11, JR. Editor JOHN Fox BOWMAN M anager THOMAS Dmfolm, JR.

The speeches this year fat? have been extremely interesting, especially to- wards the end of the term, when a marked im- prowgmgut was shown. Many visitors have attended these exercises during the past term, showing that it has become widely known as one of the school activities and has aroused much interest in the neighborhood. Among these visitors, Mlle. Bouligny and her girls have come once or twice. Al- though considerable embarassment has been caused to some speakers by their presence, I think that it is generally acknowl- edged that they make up for it when they are allowed to stay and dance after the speaking. There have been many good speeches this year. Several which here deserve to be men- tioned are Colonial Architecture, supposed to be a treatise on the early architecture of our country by J. A. L. Hyde, CamouHage, a speech concerning its various uses and the methods of 'lcamouflagingf' by E. Quincy, and one or two other speeches by Keith, T., and Neville. Two speeches which were particularly interesting, having to do with current events, were 'lPresidential Possibilities for 1920'l bylidward Lawton, and A'The Return of the Railroads to Private Ownership by Dick VVallacl1. Speeches such as these last two are especially interesting for the reason that they allow for differences of opinion which form what is known as the aftermath, a general discussion in which all present are asked to join. The l'aftermath often forms the most interesting part of the afternoon, but this year this has not proved to be the ease. f X Will j Ll wg s 3 , sr 'Er-I P' .. .

The inu- sic was by Roscoe l,ee's orchestra of XN'ashington. Dancing began at 8.30 with some hfty couples on the Hoor, which was in fine condition. Hyde and Scott had been tireless in their efforts to decorate the gymnasium effectively with masses of cornstalks, newly cut cedars, pump- kins and autumn leaves. At twelve dancing stopped and supper was served. Among those present were: Mr. and Mrs. Edwin King, Rev. and Mrs. VVilliam Pendleton, Mr. and Mrs, VVilliam VVilbur, the Misses Agnes Mclntyre, Eliz- abeth Grove, Lindsay Wood, Celeste Crosby, Judith Maxwell, Ellen Camp, CQYCJIQI Shultz, Frances Sublet, Elizabeth Tabb, Anne Randolph, Elizabeth Buchanan, Edith Wallach, Mary Stone and Sallie lValler. A number of girls from Foxcroft were also present. The Alumni who returned were: Murray Donoho '13, Townsend Scott '13, Benjamin VVilliams '13, john Coleman '14, Barrington Hall '14, Benthal Marshall '14, Carter Osburn '14, Buford Scott '14, Clay Brittle '16, Edward Maphis '17, Dewitt Thomas '18, Paul Richards '19, Gregory Meadows '19, Richard Cross '19, Scott Nesbit '19, Edward Hotchkiss '19, Francis Tomes '19, Sidney Zell '19, The next dance was given to the fourth, Fifth and sixth forms by subscription from the school. It was held in the main house on Saturday night, February 7, 1920. The music was again furnished by the band of Roscoe Lee. Those present were: Mlle. Bouligny, Mrs. King, Mrs. Fletcher, the Misses Millicent Barnard, Caroline VVisner, Elizabeth Grove, jane and Virginia johnson, Courtney North, Helen Parsons, Anita Sutton, Helen Kimberley, Suzanne Henkle, Mary Maxwell, Mary Stone and Sally VValler. The dance ended at midnight when supper was served. Fzhalf ' H ,K'Q IN 5 the end to wx iich for nine long months we fq-f . 2' . V, 1 Al, 1, fl have looked-nine long months which new have passed. .How gladly would many of us l1ve them gals over. Finals, that sweet, sad word, means 1n- finitely more than a mere suspension of school for the summer, for it means for many of us a last farewell to the old school, a parting from friends whom fortune and misfortune have bound so strongly together. The school closes this year about a Week later than usual, the 11th of June. Examinations through the week before the 11th are lucky for some, and for the less fortunate ones, unlucky. Friday, the 11th, is a day of great rejoicing, yet for some it is sad, for it is now getting near to the time of de- parture when friends will break their ties and go forth into the world, some never to return again. Thursday is mostly spent in packing trunks and talking of what each will do dur- ing the summer recess. That night is mostly spent in fixing up for the big day-Prize Day, and the big school dance. Some girls often arrive that night and stay at the school. That is the time for the lady killers to show their mettle. Friday is the big day of all the school year. It is the day when the old boys of the school-the ones that have carried the school through the year successful and prosperous-depart. The awarding of prizes is a thing of interest and especially to those who are the receivers. As one can see from the list published, there are a number of prizes to be received. Medals, certificates and diplomas are delivered and then the benediction is said and the session of 1919-1920 is at an end. lt is now time for the eight-forty train for the North. VVe stay a while to grip the hands of our friends once more and to say goodbye to the boys that are graduating. Then we are off not to return to old STUYvEsAN'r until next year. Finals have come and gone. F1N1s FREDERIC W. SCOTT THOMAS B. MCADAMS BLAIR B.
