ROBERT KNOX BARNHART Alpha One Year at Taft Wesleyan Bob Barnhart arrived at Taft in September, 1951, with some books, a couple of trunks, and a rubber Indian. Then, having set all of these items in proper order, he began his life at School. I-le hadn't been here long before rumors of his broad- jumping ability began to spread among the students- rumors which he was to substantiate on the Track Team in '52. Bqb always took his schoolwork seriously, never .,-v-Y.-.- 'F 'T s believi hat he was doing as well as he should and, al- ways mistic, hoping the next day would bring better .3 grades In his spare time he often read books-unless, of , cours e was defending his Indian from certain members ' of .hi c ridor who seemed fascinated by its resiliency. t A tends its heartiest good wishes to Bob when he lea s hool this spring and prepares to enter Wesleyan i the fall.

Alpha Four Years at Taft Yale Four years ago Frank, who is better known to his friends as Tucky , entered Taftg since then he has become a prominent figure around school. During these four years Frank has done a great deal for his class and Taft by serving as President of the Press Club and Chairman ol' the Day Boy Committee. Entering Taft from nearby lVaterbury, Tucky has always ranked near the top of his class scholastically. Last spring found Frank out on the diamond, heeling the man- agership of Mr. Pennell's nine. His sincere effort and determination was rewarded at the end of the term when he was elected Varsity baseball Manager. Next year Frank will enter the halls of Yale, and we all wish him the best of luck both in college and in later life. lVe are confident that he will be as big a success as he was at Taft.

ROBERT LORING BRISTOL Gamma One Year at Taft Yale Among the new faces to appear last fall was Happy's . It wasn't long before everyone was aware of his ability in all phases of school life. At Milford High, Happy Bris won his letter twice in football and track. Through the same skill he has helped the Taft teams. ln the fall Bris was one of the stal- warts on the Varsity football team, while in the winter he turned to wrestling, holding down the 177-pound class. This spring he will be a great addition to the track team. Bris has had time also for extra-curricular activities. His fine voice has placed him in the Glee Club and the Church Choir. When Happy graduates next June, he will be part- ing with countless friends that he has made through his good-natured personality. We all wish him the best of luck at college.

Ed's popularity with his class has been unquestioned since his Lower Mid year, cheerful and outgoing, he has been a member of his Class Committee since that august organization first came into being. As an athlete, Ed showed great promise until a knee injury con- fined him to hockey, but in this sport he excelled, winning two Varsity letters. His fine voice has assured him a posi- tion in the Glee Club for the past three years, but his talents have led him beyond the singing organizations, a vocal with guitar accompaniment usually means that Ed is somewhere nearby. But we will remember Eddie best for his courage in the face of overwhelming odds, wherever he goes, we know that this quality will insure his complete success.

LOUIS LONGACRE CORNELL Gamma Four Years at Taft Columbia In the four years he has been at Taft Louis has dis- tinguished himself in almost every field the School has to offer. His major achievements, however, have been in his studies: consistently second in the class, he won out over Ginsburg to become Hrst in his Mid year, then won the Senior French prize as an Upper Mid. But schoolwork has not claimed all of Lou's time, for he lent his talents not only to the Annual and the Oracle, but also to three out of the School's four singing organizations. In addition he played Varsity soccer for two years, captaining the Jay- vees and earning his letter as a Senior. XVe wish Louis the best of luck at Columbia, where we know his versatility will result in as busy and successful a career as he has had at Taft.

During his short stay here he has proved himself a valuable mem- ber of the Class. ln the field of sports jim wrestled on the Varsity in his Senior year, but the climax of his sports career came when Mr. Cruikshank presented jim with the Clinton R. Black cup, awarded to the player who best typifies thc spirit and sportsmanship of Club football. -lim was also active in other branches of School activi- ties. He was a prominent member of the band and the various singing organizations. As President of the Debating Club he has put in a lot of work in club debates as well as the Varsity Debating Team. After leaving School, .lim intends to carry on his edu- cation at Yale University. We are sure that he will do as well there as he has at Taft.

He quickly became extremely popular because of his fine personality and good- naturedness, Upon approaching room 212, one would in- variably hear the murmur of voices as jim and his com- panions discussed such matters as the approaching week- end and the attainment of more sleep. Now and then quiet reigned when he opened a book-most likely to dust it off. liver since jim has been at Taft, he has been a key factor in Beta soccer and baseball. ln his spare time he was active in the Glee Club, anchor man for the debating V team, and a participant in innumerable other activities. X Furthermore, The Diamond had a fine scholastic record. I As flim leaves us, we all wish him the best of luck at Villanova and success in the future.

The Carlinville Flash arrived at Taft and quickly adjusted him- self to the routine. Gaylord, as he is known to his friends, has been active in many varied Helds. His track prowess is shown by three years on the Varsity squad. ln the other two seasons Gaylord has been a mainstay on club teams. The musical organizations will indeed miss John, for he has played a very fine trumpet in the Marching Band, the Concert Band, and the Dance Band. He has also been active in many clubs and committees. Moreover, john has maintained a commendable average during his stay here.

JR. Alpha Five Years at Taft Dartmouth It is a rare occasion indeed when an isolated rural town like East Aurora produces anything of value, but it did produce Bud Heussler. Bud arrived here five years ago and soon became a prominent member of his Class. He has proven himself an athlete, winning his soccer letter this fall. His ability has shown itself on the track squad and on the Alpha A hockey team. Besides ath- letics, Bud has participated in the School's singing groups, the Glee Club, The Oriocos, the Choir, and the Christmas Choir. He is also on the Annual Board. Bud will be remembered for saying the wrong thing at the right time, a trait which has harassed many for years.

ALLEN LEDYARD Beta 1-'ours Years at Taft Yale Back in the fall of 1948 when the Class of '52 was first assembling itself, Grosse Pointe was well-represented by a boy who became known for his roughhousing and eating. Ledhead has maintained those standards throughout his four years at this exclusive school for young gentlemen by making sure he got his money's worth from the dining room and by learning how to roughhouse and still keep a high citizenship rating. For the past two years Allen has run the stage and every fall has worked hard on the Beta football team. He earned his letter skiing and galloped around the track in the spring, twice receiving letters in that sport. The Head has maintained a satisfactory average, too.

One of his first moves was to organize the Taft -Temperance League which, to the delight of the Monitorial Staff, failed miserably. U11- daunted, he set Olll to overcome. his tender innocence and to become a hard-boiled influential tycoon, like his idol, P. K. Smith. By now Hans has achieved his purpose, earning for himself one of the finest records in Taft by both his long list of extra-curricular activities and his upper-level schol- astic average. Hans moves on to Harvard next fall, where, if he runs as many organizations as he does at Taft, we shall undoubtedly End him in virtual control of the school.

Since then George has compiled a fine scholastic record and his amiability has won him many friends. During the fall term George started on the Beta A soccer team and in the winter and spring terms on the track squad. George has been an active member of the Radio, Debating, and Music clubs, and has been success- ful in the Christmas Choir, Church Choir, and Glee Club. George reads profusely, but can not be considered a book- worm. His great ambition is to be in the first man-made missile to the moon: in this last endeavor we extend to him a hearty bon voyage. - George will spend the next four years at Yale, where he will major in engineering. We wish him good luck there and in the future. Debating Club '52: Glee Club '523 Oriocos '52: Church Choir '52g Christmas Choir '52g Music Club '52g Radio Club '52.

M i -IV'-'UN'-1.fg'U'f ' CHARLES GORDON'STlliES Alpha Four Years at Taft Princeton S 30' W One September day four long years ago Charles Gor- don Stiles, better known to his more intimate friends as Chas , tore himself away from East Orange, New jersey, to take his place in the future class of 1952. Even at the beginning of his career at Taft, Chas's influence and outstanding leadership were shown by his election to the Lower Middle Class Committee, a position he held up to his Senior year, when, because of his ami- able personality, he was chosen by his classmates to be a Monitor. Charlie, however, did not limit himself to activities touching School government, but was also an active mem- ber in athletics for the Alpha Club. Charlie has main- tained a sound scholastic average during his four years at School. Next fall he expects to enter Princeton, where we, the Class of '52, feel sure that he will be as successful as he has been at Taft.

Since then his shoulders have become a little broader, but his convictions have not changed. In the four years he has spent here Al has shown himself more than competent athletically, besides having been a first- class discus-and-hammer-thrower on the Varsity track team for three years, he has shown his versatility by having captained the Beta soccer team after a year on the Varsity football squad. But it will not be for his athletic record nor for the contribution of his fine voice to Taft's singing organizations that we will remember him, we will recall him rather as one who was always quick to stand up not l ' only for his ideals but for 'his friends as well.

TILTON CHALMERS WILKES Beta Three Years at Taft Syracuse Three years ago Tilt came to Taft from that roaring suburb of New York City, New Rochelle. In these three years here at Taft, Tilt has won many friends and has contributed much to the School. His everyday smile and infectious laugh are always to be seen and heard around the corridors at Taft. As to activities Tilt has played on the Junior Varsity football team, but his athletic talents show up most prominently in the spring when he throws the javelin. Tilt loves to hack and think of Sue, but he spends a lot of time on his homework fpropaganda for the facultyj and gets good grades. His hearty sense of humor and pleasing personality have made him popular with his classmates. These assets will stand him in good stead at Syracuse University and in later life. We all wish him the '-best of luck. Common Room Committee '52, Gun Club '52, jayvee football '50, Varsity track T'5l , T'52. 64 fn' oy .

The task before the coaches was to mould a team out of a light though somewhat experienced group of tl1e two lettermen, some Varsity numeral men, former -j.V. players and certain others plucked from the club system. Though a poor season was forecast, there were factors which combined to produce a good year. The driving force of the Taft surge was the spirit which was instilled in the team by both Dave Dotson and Mr. Douglas, who simply wanted to win. Though ' this spirit at times lagged, it more than proved its presence at crucial periods. Commencing the season, the team gained its only sure victory, against Kings- wood. Both squads were green and unpolished, and the play was generally ragged with, however, a few bright spots. Captain Dotson played admirably and was the main source of the team's fight, his efforts were rewarded by scoring his and the team's first touchdown of the year. The Choate game was at once a joy and a disappointment. Throughout the first half the greatly favored golden eleven could 11011 score, and drive after drive was rudely repulsed by the determined Taft line, which then was magnificent. Steve Henkel, Bob Bristol, Harry Hyde, and Bro Kinloch simply would not yield. But in t11e second half the home team fell to piecesg dogged by fumbles, errors of judgment, and bad luck, the Big Red began to rapidly fall behind. Against Deerheld the team of '51 did that which could not be done even in the long-remembered Poole, Ford, Treat era-beat Deerheld fa thing which had ll0t been done since the wary. lt was mostly passes this time which turned the trick, as one gained a touchdown, and numerous others set up another. Colby and Quattlebaum exhibited intelligent throwing, and their many aerials clicked to the Virtue-Chelminski combination. The Taft defense was, as usual, excellent, but for once in the season the offense just about equalled it. The following two contests were Taft losses, one somewhat disappointing, and the other a rather expected result. The final score of the Kent game seemed a rout, but in reality it was still felt by the team that they could have won. Pulling an old trick, they lost control of the second half, became querelous, and lost the cooperative effort. This proved to be fatal. There is little doubt that Hotchkiss was a better team. Bigger, faster, with a fine backfield and tremendous blocking, they simply outplayed us. In the final game of the season the team showed what it could do if it really wanted to win. In a rough and hard-fought contest, full of smashing tackles and in- juries, Loomis fought us tooth and nail, with the ultimate Taft victory being by a margin of but one point. Both exhibited superlative defensive work, both eagerly desired victory. WVe scored and converted in the Hrst half: from then on it was a question of Loomis's trying to even the score, and Taft's fighting to prevent just that. There were a number of brilliant stands by determined lines. When the visitors did score, the crucial extra point was blocked not by the efforts of a single hero, but by beautiful teamwork. TVith Five lettermen returning for next year the outlook seems good. But let it be said that a great loss will be felt with the graduation of such line stalwarts as Kinloeh, Bristol, Hyde, Bogaert, and Calhoun. Three men of the starting backfield are to leave- Captain Dotson, Colby, and Quattlebaum. The '51 team was not sensational, but one which was willing, ready to correct mistakes, with good spirit, one which produced an altogether pleasing record.

The over-all score of 5 won, 3 lost, and 1 tie is in- deed a record for any team to be proud of, and this particular squad is no exception. As was foreseen, the returning lettermen fCap- tain Willets, Bertram, Sullivan, N., and Butterheldj carried a great part of the weight during the year, but they were helped out tremendously by several new-comers to Varsity play. Such men as Wfilliamson, Marshall, Heussler, VVeir, Smith, C. C., Richards, R., f ' Cornell, Eadie, and Smith, R. fall of whom received lettersj showed remarkable improvement and greatly abetted the team. ' The first two games, against Watertown and Litchfield, were, shall we say, routine warm-ups for the bulk of the season, foretelling the team's weak and strong pointsg a rather stumbling defeat and an uneventful victory sent the team on its way. The following game was played away against a rather mediocre Trinity-Pawling squad, in which the Big Red easily prevailed. In this contest Taft showed the kind of play which was later to distinguish it as a successful aggregation. Probably the most exciting and heart warming game of the year was the return match with Watertown. Determined to avenge the previous humiliating 8-8 defeat, Taft then possessed probably more fighting spirit than in any other game. It was a tightly tied battle up to the final period, when suddenly Butterfield, displaying his hue potential, booted through two goals for the victory. The entire offense was effective, and especially outstanding on defense were fullbacks NVilletts and Heussler. The tie with Hopkins which followed was to many at Taft a disappointment. for we seemed an all-around better team. Smith, C. C. scored the lone tally, and Smith, R. played an admirable game in the nets. On a rainy day with extremely muddy field the booters downed in a most deter- mined fashion, a strong Loomis team, the players proving themselves accomplished mudders. Both goals were scored by Smith, C. C., but the team was playing together, he received excellent cooperation from Prince and Sullivan, N., while Smith, R. again excelled at the goalie position. Before ,a large Fathers' Day crowd of close to 350 the team went on to subdue Kingswood by the narrow margin of l to 0. ln the first two periods the offensive lagged somewhat, and the old spirit failed to show itself until near the close of the game. When the drive returned, the offensive visibly strengthened and Butterfield, on an assist from Prince, booted home the winning point. The defense was sparked mostly by VVillets and Sullivan, N. The following game, a defeat at the hands of Choate, was not, despite the 5-2 score, something to be apologized for. The visitors boasted one of their all-time strong- est teams and were, quite simply, superior to Taft. Their U.N. squad, as it was playfully dubbed, possessed players with life-long experience, who came from distant countries where one does naught but play soccer. lt would be very unpleasant to sum up such a dissertation by saying that the final game, a 1-ll defeat by Hotchkiss, was a disappointment. Taft had members who played an eye-opening game, and the team was striving just as hard as ever for victory. ln closing it must be stated that '51 was a good year for soccer, the team was a hue and willing one. lt was led well by both the Coaches and the Captain, and those who remained out of the lime-light continuously fought just as hard for victory as did any of their mates.

Though showing an admittedly unconvincing record, the team was by no means a mediocre one, amply possessing height, natural co-ordination, and better-than-average shoot- ing ability. However, these powers were, unfortu- nately, only potential and were rarely fully mani- fested. This failure to display their full prowess led to many defeats which could and should have been Taft victories. The season opened with three successive losses to Loomis. Hotchkiss, and Trinity-Pawling, respec- tively, The brand of ball played was sloppy, and it was evident that the team was far from hitting its pace. No one was outstanding in these games but the team was graclu- ally learning to work together. Coming back from these defeats, the team hnally drove its way to the season's Hrst victory, downing Choate in an improved but still shaky fashion. Outstanding were Gam- mill and Davison. It was in the following contest, however, against Berkshire, that the Varsity five put on, perhaps, the hnest show of the season. I.ed by Williamson, who suddenly lived up to expectations with a startling display of scoring-24 points-Taft exhibited teamwork and rebounding which simply could not be halted, as they merci- lessly rolled through their opponent, 67 to 46. The Kent game proved to be the most exciting and interesting of the year. At the end of the first half we were hopelessly behind by the score of 24 to 40. However. in the last two quarters the team suddenly exhibited new-found spirit and ability, light- ing their way to a near upset. Matt Davison showed his best form of the year in ing their way to a near upset. The next four games were unpleasant defeats for the home forces ranging from deserved wins by stronger teams to very disappointing losses which should not have been so. Gunnery was by far a faster and more accurate team, and the fact that the game was played in their own box-like gym was a decided advantage for the victors. Three men, however, went into double figures: Williamson with 17, Glatte with 16, and Marshall with I3. Trinity-Pawling vanquished Taft for the second time, as time ran out to foil the scoring eflorts of the losers. Westminster completely outdrove us Returning home, we met a in a game which could be best described as mediocre. t favoured Kent five, whom we proceeded to out-play in the hrst two quarters, only to drop a once impressive lead to finish and unimpressive second. The second Berkshire game proved to be a thriller, as Marshall sank a tying one- hander with ten seconds of play remaining. Gammill played splendidly throughout, scoring 2l points, and in the overtime period we gained five points to their two and eked out a 51 to 48. Kingswood, a team which was expected to be very strong, went down before us in the highest scoring game of Taft's season, '71 to 42. NVilliamson with 25 points and Davison with 15 were Taft's stalwarts. The last two games of the season were losses to Hotchkiss and Gunnery, this over- looking the fact that Canterbury was unable to play and forfeited two games to us, made the season record 4 and IO. Thanks are due to Mr. Logan, whose patience and understanding advice were in- valuable throughout the season. -R. CZ.

The season opened with an 8 to 5 victory for Taft on the NVestminster ice. Captain Carlton Lit- tell paved the way with four goals and two assists, along with Cheney, who scored twice. The passing and defensive play were creditable, yet the goal tending in the latter stages of the game showed inexperience. XVC next encountered a surprisingly scrappy South Kent sextet, against whose de- fense and excellent goal-tending scoring was most difficult. The sole goal was registered by liadie, on an assist from Cheney, in the first period. Little can be said about the Trinity-Pawling game. It was a fantastic rout Aganist Choate we played one of our finest games, scoring four times against an excellent goalie, who made 51 saves, while Pape stopped only eight. Cheney led the offense with two goals and one assist, and Sam Sherer and Hardin Littell played their usually superior game on defense. One of the biggest thrills of the season was defeating the usually powerful YVest Point Plebes. Eadie paced the victors with his six goals. Sherer and VVierdsma, excelled on defense, and the former provided an offensive thrill by netting a blue line screen shot. After allowing but two goals in four games, the Taft defense fell apart and we barely managed to tie a strong Berkshire squad, 5 to 5. Overconfidence and our late start held us to this tie. Our undefeated record was shattered by an obviously superior Yale Freshmen aggregation. Mfierdsma, making twenty-eight saves, played splendidly but could not stop the Yale skaters completely. Probably the most unexpected and disappointing loss of the season came at the hands of an eager Gunnery squad, who very simply outfought Taft. Our final chance to capture the league championship was the Hotchkiss game. Both teams were equally desirous of victory, and though Hotchkiss was faster, it could not rightfully be said that they outfought us. The main factory of our downfall was erratic shooting which caused many shots to richochet uselessly off the boards. Tag Chapman netted the only goal for Taft, while Len Smith was consistently setting up plays and peppering the goal. By defeating a weaker Kent squad, we once again were victory bound. The defense was again flawless, Goalie Pape turning in a sterling shutout performance. Yale finished the season in thrilling fashion by defeating South Kent in overtime before a large Mothers' Day crowd. Parsons led the offense as he registered a Hat Trick , Smith also starring with three assists. To Carl Littell is due much commendation for his intelligent and able leadership. llflt to mention his great scoring prowess. Mr, Sargent's coaching was without a doubt a great contributing factor to the team's fine record. -R. C.

The 0 and 5 seasonal result is just about as an unhappy one as possible, and yet one definitely not to be apologized for. There are very clear rea- sons why the poor showing is in reality not so poor as it may seem. It may be said in all truthfulness that this season was an extraordinary one- extra- ordinary in that the outside competition was un- usually and amazingly strong, several of our oppo- nents possessing some of the finest teams in their re- spective wrestling histories. Our team, while far from mediocre, was but an average one, and without nmch experience. Such schools as Loomis, Kent, VVooster, and Yale boasted the most powerful squads in years: thus, when the average team meets the extraordinary strong team, the outcome is un- happily rather obvious. Such was the pattern throughout almost the entire season. Opening against Choate, we came to a tough defeat, as Vuillet and Searby won decisions, and Kinloch tied. The lack of experience manifested itself in the poor show- ing in the heavier divisions. The following match, against Wooster who, though a small school, had almost the best aggregation in its bistorv. was a verv close Ktwo pointsl and a rather disap- pointing defeat. Each side gained four triumphs. but the margin of victory proved to be that VVooster's were on pins, while Taft gained only decisions. -Iohn Vogelstein wrestled creditably in the lower weights, and Bro Kinloch did an admirable job in defeating his '57 opponent. There was little doubt about the outcome of the Loomis match: that particular squad, worked on for four years, had been built up to something to be proud of. Taft was simply no match for them, and our sole victory eminated from the strong efforts of Captain Bob Vuillet. Kent, while not world beaters, had a fine squad, and methodically grinded out a victory, beating all save Joe Manson. The final match, against Yale, was unfortunately not much of a contest. The visitors were the most powerful team to be encountered all season. The sole Taft points came as a result of a forfeit in the l67 lb. class. The match was obviously one- sided. vet the team fought with a heart. and did not go down as easily as expected. Despite the hard times and the disappointing losses, Captain Bob Vuillet ever maintained a high level of intelligent and spirited leadership, besides having one of the squad's better seasonal records. Always ready with a word of encouragement or advice, he has been absolutely invaluable. The team as a whole was a Ul0St co-oper- ative groupg the two newcomers to the sport, Coyle and Bristol, worked hard at improve- ment, and though the inexperience was evident, they performed creditably. It was a tough break to lose Dan Searby, but John Vogelstein ably Hlled his place. The rivalry for the l30 lb. class resulted in a fine job done by Bill Tunner and Joe Manson. The heavier classes grew to be steady performers, as Kinloch, Smith and Hyde added much to the team performance. Special thanks should go to Mr. Carroll, who, toiled long and hard to mould a team. -R. C.

'l'he snow situation was such that whenever the ground was sullicieutly covered. a meet would have to he arranged as quickly as possible helore the snow should melt. .Xs a result little or no practice time was avail- able. The team with the exception of Captain lilave- ness was already known to be inexperienced: thus the lack of practice which prevented further growth, was undoubtedly the major factors in the team's poor showing. NVe opened against Kent on their own slopes: the only race was the downhill in which Kent placed first but '1'aft's lilaveness came in a close second. llnfortunately no one else, except Helleran who finished sixth, came near placing for 'l'aft, and the meet went to the home team. Wle next lost to Hotchkiss and Kent in lhat order in a triangular meet at Kent. Again lilaveness spearheaded 'l'al't in gaining her only points with a third place. Traveling to Berkshire, lilaveness once again distinguished himself, hut could not alone garner enough points to bring the meet to 'l'aft. XVe went down to defeat. as no one placed but lilaveness, who captured first place in holh the downhill and the slalom races. The final meet, a triangular against Kent and liingswood, also proved to he a '1'aft defeat. Klaveness, still displaying his customarily line form, raced to a first place and a new record on the Kent downhill trail, and was third in the slalom. llelleran gained the only other Taft points hy placing fourth in the latter race. It is customary after such Z1 review to say a few words of praise to the retiring Captain, in this case, however, it is 11ot necessary, for his great record speaks for itself. Let it be said, yet, that the team owes a debt of gratitude to Mr. Noyes, who was always ready with a helping hand. SCORES DUAI.

The main diflieulty seemed to be a certain lack of conhdence, caused mostly by some early season bad breaks. The hitting and field- ing was all right, but it was 11ot tmtil late in the season that the squad became suitably spirited to start winning. The first two games, against Canterbury and Pomfret, in that order, were close defeats which could have turned the other way with a few more breaks. Chuck Smith did most of the hurling in both these games and a hne job it was. Outstanding at the plate were Van litten, Colby, Wallace. The next contest was against Trinity-Pawling, who put us down for no other rea- son than that they were the better team. We won our first game at the expense of Berkshire in a well played game which was hard fought all the way. Geldard, who started, and Chuck Smith, who relieved and finished, both pitched splendidly. It took eleven innings to win, but hits by Van Etten and Smith plus heads-up play by the rest of the team hnally enabledffaft to come out on top. Choate beat us rather disasterously as we garnered but three hits in that game, while their bats were unfortunately quite active. Hotchkiss followed with just the same brand of ball and rather easily put down a somewhat disheartened squad. Gunnery followed Choate in the same fashion, as we netted only three hits. Coyle and Geldard pitched creditably, but the lack of support was unhappily obvious. Loomis also defeated us, though our hitting was much improved as Captain Smith, VVallace, Colby, Parsons, Dotson and Searls all collected safeties. Throughout these contests, Smith was always active, either in starting assignments or relief. VVe gained our second victory of the year by handily putting down Kent. The hitting was only fair, but John Wallace rather made up for the rest of the team by banging out three, one of which was a most important homer. Chuck Smith pitched admirably holding his opponents under control throughout, and the fielding and gen- eral spirit of the entire squad was excellent. The next game, against Hopkins, was well fought and well played by both teams, but we could not quite pull it out. The hitting 'was good, as Wolins, XVallace, Dotson, Wiese, and Searls all collected. The game was a touch and go affair which could have gone either way, and Hopkins had to go ll innings to gain the final margin. We finished the season, however, with a good display by defeating Westminster in the type of baseball that is fun to watch. Again it was Captain Smith who handled the hurling, and lasted the entire game in strong fashion. The hitting was consistent and opportune, with XVolins, Colby, Parsons, C. C., Van litten, and Dotson all collect- ing singles. ln closing, we must acknowledge the consistently hne job done by Mr. Briggs and especially Mr. l'ennell, who never likes to lose, but always drove hard for any possible victory throughout the whole season. -R.

The year's record of two wins and two losses plus a fourth in the pentagonals can hardly be termed exceptional. The biggest drawback to the team was the fact that we did not have one real sprinter and consequently consistently lost points in the dash events. Again, several potentially Hue men somehow failed to live up to their expectations. lVe opened the year with an expected victory over Berkshire, by the score of 76 to 55. This meet was in some ways a preview of the rest of the season, for we were almost shut out in every dash event, while showing more strongly in the field and distance events. NVL- excelled in the high jump, capturing all the points. Luis Bogaert, as usual romped away with the half-mile, while Ronnie Dittman showed excellent form taking the high hurdles which were to be his specialty. XVe gained most of our lead in the field, winning live out of six events. Loomis, unfortunately, outclassed us. Captain Bogaert again lead his squad but we simply could not garner enough points. Once more we excelled in the field events as Whittemore and Bristol came through in fine style. winning their events-the hammer and shot put respectively. We were shut out in every sprint, but the relay team took its only victory of the year, and Quattlebaum, clearing ten feet, tied for first in the pole vault. Paced by its swift sprinters, the strong Choate Varsity defeated us before an Alumni Day crowd. NVhittemore and Bogaert, both relnaining undefeated, led the 'l'aft aggre- gation: Dittman also excelled, taking the high-hurdles, and Quattlebzunn won the pole vault. Bob Bristol was defeated for the first time in the shot, placed only second, while I,en Smith and George Stanton ran one-two in the mile. liing Cross showed encour- aging lorm in the javelin hitting the year's high and falling only two feet short of the School record with a heave of 162 feet, but placed second. NVC next 'ournefed to Hotchkiss with most encourafinv' results, havin P' little trou- . l J l . - A s A ble in putting down the Lakeville squad. This meet was doubly pleasing in that we gained points in a sprint event, as Chelminski won the lflfl yard dash for the sole Taft sxrint victor of tl1e 'ear, besides t'in f for first in his siecialt ', the liifh-'um1.

Quat- tlebaum, Xvilkes, and Cross, also accounted for Taft victories in the pole-vault, the javelin, and the discus. The pentagonal meet was for the most part rather discouraging. ln the first place, we were without Captain Bogaert, who was an almost positive first: secondly, some of our best men were disappointments, and failed to come through in their specialties. Probably tl1e two most encouraging tat-tors in the meet were Bristol's first place in the shot, and Ledyard's second in the 880. Again we dropped lar behind in the dashes, but there was also an unexpected drop i11 the mile, hurdles, and high jump. ln closing we can quite safely say that the team was a good one, but lacking depth and numbers fthe smallest turnout in recent yearsj. The Captain, Luis Bogacrt, de- serves the greatest praise for his own tremendous efforts, for both his individual vic- tories as well as those of the squad. Mr. Adams, Mr. Douglas, Mr. Parsons, and Mr. Lakovitch are no less deservinglor their individual labors to mold the '52 track team.

Stamp Taft TENNIS REVIEW The '52 tennis team was not a great one, but the 50-50 seasonal record is a respectable one, about what was expected for the year. The nucleus was com- posed of the three returning lettermen, Sam Sherer, Hardin Littell, and Captain Reid Williamson, all of whom were starting singles players. Matt Davison, Nort Clay, Peter Loeb, and Bob Richards all had several years' experience of jayvee and some Varsity work, a new-comer, Jim Goldsmith, added to the strength of both the doubles and the singles. The main power was furnished, of course, by the three X top men. We opened with a 5 to 4 victory over Trinity-Pawling, a closely contested match which was exciting to win. Williamson, Littell, Goldsmith, and Loeb all came out on top in singles play, while the old reliable combination of Clay and Davison were the only victorious doubles pair. Choate overpowered us in the second match of the season, 8 to l. Our sole source of points came from a doubles victory by Hardin Littell and Jim Goldsmith. All our singles men went down to defeat, as the opposition was simply stronger. The Loomis match was a very narrow defeat: we were beaten by the most narrow margin possible, 5 to 4. The teams were quite evenly matched, and a good stroke of luck might have brought us victory. The two top Taft men, Williamson and Sherer, got us off to a good start by taking their respective matches, but no one.else produced in the singles, the two doubles victories by ,Williamson-Sherer and Clay-Davison,.were not quite enough to gain the advantage. The team played one of its finest matches of the year in defeating Wesleyan Fresh- men, 7 to 2. All the singles men except Goldsmith were victorious in their matches, and a good calibre of ball, in general, was played. Wesleyan managed to garner their final point of the day by defeating the XVilliamson4Sherer doubles combination. We next encountered a strong Hotchkiss aggregation, who were victorious by a 7 to 2 count. As Qmore or lessl usual, Williamson and Sherer won theirimatches, but again we were weak in the lower sections of the singles, and, somewhat surprisingly, also failed to produce in the doubles. To end the year in great style we easily conquered the Kent team, 7 to 2. William- son, Sherer, Littell, Goldsmith, Loeb were victorious in singles play, while Richards went down in a tough battle. Two of the three doubles combinations won, with only the second combination, Littell and Goldsmith, being defeated. A special note of thanks is due to Messrs. Young and Shepherd, who throughout the year were understanding and most able in their jobs. -R. C.

A good crop of new boys, including Cheney, Mongeau, and Grean, plus much improvement in some of last year's talent, proved to make the difference between a poor and a decent season. VVe started well by defeating Choate by the good score of seven to two, on our home links. Captain Quinlan displayed his usual fine form by easily put- ting down his opponent, while Marshall and Grean also defeated their men. Though Lincoln and Cheney were beaten, we took all three best balls, which proved to be the margin of victory. Still at home, we defeated, though not so easily, the Hotchkiss squad. Al Marshall, Grean, and Mongeau all won their matches, while again we gained points in best balls, as Mongeau and Cheney, and Mar- shall and Grean won theirs. Xve followed by meeting the Yale team which was very strong. and simply a better team. 'l'hough it was 6 to l, the hnal score belies the actual play, for several 'I'aft men who were defeated lost on the very last hole. Captain Quinlan garnered the sole point for us, fighting his opponent to a tough but deserved victory. ln a return match with Choate we were badly beaten, 7M1 to 155. Quinlan put down his man, also tying best ball. His victory provided the only Taft points. ln our return match with Hotchkiss, much the same thing happened, as we went down, 7 to 2. Quinlan, gaining vengeance for his earlier defeat at the hands of the Lakeville number one man, handily won his match. To hnish out the season with a flourish, a four man team journeyed to Kingswood, where we won, to ZW. Quinlan tied his match, but Grean and Marshall came through victoriously to pull the match out of the fire. Next year's squad will miss Quinlan and Marshall, but such outstanding perform- ers as Mongeau, Lincoln, and Grean should form a strong base for a fine team. Before closing it behooves us to acknowledge the efforts of Mr. Carroll, whose advice and under- standing have aided the tea1n's efforts to an immeasurable degree. -R. C.

It is fitting at this time as we leave this school which has contributed so much to our future that we express our deep appreciation to the faculty, who have unstintingly given their time and energy to make this day possible, for this ceremony marks an end to one phase in our lives as well as a beginning. Today, as we look ahead into the near future, there are a number of problems with which we shall have to deal. However, it is not our lot to go out into the most terrifying depression which the world has ever seen, a hardship which graduating classes of twenty years ago were obliged to face. At that time the crisis was beginning to grip the world, and inexorably the tide of economic ruin swept across this nation, producing millions of beggars. The college graduate of the thirties struggled to find a position. Men and women trained for law, medicine, and the like were forced to accept any job which chance offered. A decade ago we were engulfed in a great world war which demanded the youth of this nation and temporarily halted the education and the careers of milions of our finest citizens. But in the coming years we are not presented with situations of such tremendous proportions, yet the question of military service is uppermost in the minds off many of us. In some cases R.O.T.C. programs will fulfill this requirement. Nevertheless, authorities agree that the majority of those gradu- ating today will be compelled to spend two or three or four years in the armed forces, whether in the next five years or ten. And the question which we should answer for ourselves is: Are we going to let this trying but necessary obligation hang like an awesome cloud over our lives or are we going to accept it-even if somewhat reluctantly? The heritage of freedom which is ours, through no fault of our own, can not be bought at any price, but it can be forfeited so easily. Therefore, it seems to me that any part which we can play in preserving our liberties for the coming generations should be accepted as a debt owed to those who have gone before. lf we are to succeed and become the leaders which this nation is dsperately in need of, we must decide soon in what direction our lives are to be projected. The cranks, the pessimists, and others tell us that if we sit back and bide our time, our lives will be decided for us. Their credo is evidently that the world owes us a living. Where then is the self-reliance and the spirit of enterprise which in three hundred years has transformed a wilderness into the standard bearer of democracy? Are these essentials of our way of life dead? No, they are certainly not, but they most definitely need medical attention. It is perhaps at this time impossible for many of us to be sure of what field we are best suited to enter. Time and experience will help us to find our niche. But our chosen vocation will demand the finest sense of values and integrity of purpose which we can offer. We must take with us wherever we go these and other qualities which are mandatory if we are to be worthy of the trust which has been placed in our hands. We have all fulfilled the scholastic requirements of the School. And we are justified in our feeling of accomplishment which has been noted. Nor should these accomplishments be minimized or put aside. However, there are require- ments of another sort which must be met, and these can not be recorded in black and white. Character is something intangible in the sense that it can not be measured by any form of exam- ination or totaled like a column of figures-yet its building and strenghtening are vital parts of our education, and no amount of intelligence or ability can compensate for it. It is this character which embodies so many different elements and which we must bring to bear on every aspect of our lives. In loday's critical times with a Communist disease fighting to impose itself on the world and with our own pressing domestic problems we cannot afford to have our lives ruined for us. Initiative and self- reliance must not be allowed to become cliches. We will be called upon to make decisions in the years ahead. and when this time comes, we must be prepared to make them, for if we are unable to think for ourselves. There is a nation quite willing to run our lives-one that has already extended its sphere of domination to a frightening degree. We must then realize that we are well equipped academically and morally to meet life with the infinite possibilities which it possesses. And we must remember that we have been granted the privilege of obtaining equipment denied to the vast majority. Therefore let us remember in the words of Benjamin Disraeli: The youth of a nation are the trustees of posterity. And let us be found worthy of this trust. -Roncnr Soovlu.

We were all amazed and chagrined when we heard that the total contribution from the class of 1952 was a scant three dollars and eleven cents. It was decided that someone should be appointed to investigate the reason for this. I was subsequently elected, and set out to interview as many of that class as possible. For the past two months I have been pursuing that end, and I have summarized my findings in a brief report which I now submit for your approval. I began my investigation in New York, where I was sure to discover many alumni. Upon leaving Grand Central Station I 'took a taxi which, to my surprise, was driven by john Vogelstein, who, upon hearing of my mission, immediately insisted that we stop at one of the spots , where we could meet some of his acquanitances. He proceeded to drive to a little place where he had connections . We stopped before an impressive-looking building and went in. It was not 'till then that I realized that we were in the Stork Club, of which the owner was one Andy Calhoun, having recently bought out Sherman Billingslee. There I happily met more Taft Alumni, who seemed to have an aversion to leaving such establishments after june of '52. Tobey Shiverick was on the stage groaning into a mike, while the cries of agonized females rent the air. After much talking, I decided that it was time to leave, so I asked for the check. The reckoning for a dish of bran and a glass of water came to 32410. Noting my displeasure at such obvious scalping, owner Calhoun calmly dispatched his muscular bouncer to my table. It was by the strong hands of Matt Davison that I found myself summarily dismissed through the open door. As I landed with a thud upon the sidewalk, I heard the plaintive music of a poor organ grinder, into whose cup I dropped a charitable dime. Dave Hamilton blurted out a thousand thanks and pushed on. After some hours of wandering, I found myself in Greenwich Village, where in a pool hall was john Connelly with his mob, mapping plans for the next job. Some of his gentlemen were watching a television show which I recognized as the Happy Bris quiz program. The guest comedian, Herman Heussler, had just come on, and the audience was screaming its approval. Hearing a great roaring of sirens and whistles, I looked out the window and saw the New York Riot Squad round the corner, led by Chuck Smith, newly ap- pointed racket buster. They were in hot pursuit of that notorious bookie, Greasy Thumb Rossin, who was even now vaulting into his getaway car, a bright red Ford. On my way back to civilization, I passed an open door from which a terrible screeching noise issued. Letting my curiosity get the better of me, I went in. Through the smoke and haze I perceived a knot of musicians on a raised platform, before a motley horde of patrons. I was astonished to recognize Terry Colby as one of the players, and later heard his sad tale from the clarinetist's own lips. It seems that he was driven to playing be-bop to support his dear little wife and huge family. I was shortly forced to leave this pleasant spot, however, and continuing on my way, I bought a paper from Dave Graf's newsstand. But, as I started to walk away, my thoughts were interrupted by a familiar croaking, frog-like sound. I wheeled to encounter a sinister figure in the uniform of the French Foreign Legion, except for a pink shirt. It was my old friend, Bob Vuillet, but years of desert sunlight had affected his eyes, and he did not see me as I waved. 1 sat on a nearby bench, and unfolding my paper, began to read. My eye was caught immediately by a front page ad which read: FOR SALE-One Excellent Tenor Banjo with Case. Very Cheap. See Sherer. Bro Kinloch, I read, had been made Poet Laureate, on the basis of his sensitive, aesthetic, and thoroughly beautiful works. In banner headlines across the page was the story of Illinois' secession from the Union as a totalitarian state, under the leadership of fanatic rabble-rouser Howie Edmonds. On the same page was a feature on Hans Ruppel and Mike Ginsburg, renowned scientific team, who had just perfected a better mousetrap. Art Ipana ad pictured a familiar fac,e, and I recognized Ernie Woodward modeling the smile of health. But it was near my plane time, so I hailed a cab to take me to the airport. At the terminal I saw a large advertising poster in which john Denby was magnificently posing as a man of distinction. 162 I left New York and followed the path of the Tafties to Florida, having heard that many Alumni were in that area. On the way I traveled with Dick Quinlan who, as you know, has just won the grand slam of golf. He told me that his old roommate, Kip Cheney, had developed a new hair restorer. He added that Bill Hoglund, under the excellent management of Al Marshall, had become famous as a Shou1ders . I asked Dick what ever told me that Seed had gotten lost weight lifter and professional wrestler, under the pseudonym of had become of Fred Graham. Ace's eyes became tearful as he in New York right after graduation 25 years ago, and had never been seen since. I left Dick and got off the plane in Virginia to accept a standing invitation of Colonel Fred Stamp to visit his mint julep plantation. As I arrived at the mansion house, I heard a radio, from which issued the heart-rending music of that somewhat bucolic program, Uncle Norty sings songs from the deep South, with very able banjo accompaniment by Sam Stewart. With Fred, at the plantation, was Ken Dugan, who was preparing to open a West Virginia branch of his Fairlield Lonely Hearts Club. Fred was rather upset about the jailing of Bill Tunner when his attempt to blow up the White House with cherry-bombs failed because of faulty firing. just as I was leaving Fred's mansion, I was accosted by a traveling salesman, Bob Quattlebaum, who was peddling volumes of his own book, Revised History of the Civil War , which had been banned in the North. Next day I arrived in Miami, pass- ing on my way the City's Relief Department, where I saw john Van Gonsic standing in a bread line, replete in a somewhat shiny cutaway. That evening I tuned in my favorite newscaster, R. K. Barnhart, whose program was sponsored by no faze Chapman's used car lot. R.K. led off his program with a scandalous account of Reid Williamson's shocking the tennis world by playing tennis in lace panties at Wimbledon. Chapman then sang a commercial in his inimitable baritone voice, following which R.K. discussed the Olympic situ- ation. During the course of this he mentioned Luis Bogaert and Anton Klaveness as leading foreign contenders in the half mile and skiing, respectively. The latter had just won the Norwegian National ski championship. Also, it was announced that crazy-legs Atlas, star back with the Cleveland Browns, was holding out for more money for the coming season. The brawny speedster thought his demands would be met. The program was followed by a commercial for Hardin Littell's huge sporting-goods store. While I was listening, Andy Merrels, math professor at Miami U. dropped in on me with Dave Bristol, who apparently had gotten lost on his way to Dobbs. In jacksonville there was a Manufacturers' Convention at which I knew I would lind many Taft Alumni. I ran into Dick Pape, newly elected head of a large beanie making concern in Bridgeport. There were also a large number of high-ranking executives, with and without ulcers. Among them were: julian Erde, Vice-President in charge of carbonation with Coca-Cola: prominent pogo-stick manufacturer, Ed Fitzgerald, and Lee Gammill, Vice-President in charge of yo-yos at a booming toy company. I dined with Harry Hyde, who runs a huge brass-knuckles concern. With him, sparkling in a double-breasted zoot suit, was Tilt Wilkes, who had emerged from his Oregon lumber camp to meet his old friends. Harry showed me around so we could meet all the rest of the Taft men present. Among these were Luis Alvarez, who exports line Cuban cigars, and Bill McAfee, who makes and distributes Hea powder. Before departing from the convention, I met Mike Hoey, who had become a millionaire through his bubble- gum factory. Having received a number of addresses, I next rented a car and headed north. Hardly was I out of the hot state when I noticed a sign on the side of the road announcing, Mother Ledyard's home-cooked dogs. I patronized Al's run-down little shack and was sorry to hear from the owner that business was rather poor, since he could never resist the temptation to devour his own wares. While there, I ran into Bob Lucas, successful masseur, whose countour salon was doing a landslide business. As I was departing, I noticed a grizzled head appear from behind a huge hamburger, and recognized Tom Osborne, who informed me that at the time he was writing jokes for Milton Berle. I asked him what his former roommate, Bruce Hunting, was up to, and he told me that Bruce was leading a most successful career at the head of Yale's Music Department. Continuing on my way, I reached Washington, where Secretary of State joe Spalding, who was entertaining Cuba's Presidente, Manuel Hevia, told me of two former Tafties, George Stanton and Len Smith. The former, a prominent astronomer, was piloting the first government expedition to the moon: 163 the latter was the author of the best seller, How to Acquire a Surreptitious Vocabulary in Seven Days . Before leaving the Capitol, I attended a Senate Subcommittee hearing on Charles Stiles, whose revolu- tionary book on psychiatry Qbanned in forty-seven statesj was being accused of un-American and anarchistic views. Stopping for the night at a convenient hotel, I retired with a copy of George Lewis' new magazine, News and Reviews , in which author-critic Bob Sealy lambasted Roger Bensen's new novel, South Mainstreet , the story of Warwick, N. Y. Qpopulation 299j. In the news section of the same magazine was the story of Frank Bergen, who has crossed to Ireland to lead the Conservative insurrection, and an article on Rudolph Chelminski, notorious Polish Baron, who has astonished his students in American History with his profound theories on the importance of peanut butter in class. Before I put the magazine down I was startled by a large picture of a grotesque instrument, which proved to be Al Rudolph's new rear-view mirror pipe, which was enjoying nationwide advertising. After a long drive on the following day, I arrived in Boston, where my attention was first attracted by Don Wolins' gaudy night club, The Colonial . In the aforementioned establishment I noticed, seated at a corner table, four of the black sheep of 1952-bootlegger-millionaire Bill Bertram, gambler jack Costelloe, boss Henry Giguere of Local +ll7 of the stage workers' union, long suspected of red leanings, and john Wallace, who is said to have stepped into Primo Carnera's shoes. All were bitterly criticizing Marwan Sadat, chairman of the World Peace Foundation. Following up a tip, I went down to the waterfront section, where I met Salty joe Manson, who was attempting to repair his battered trawler with an old clamming hoe. I also saw Bobsy johnson, who was still serving in the Navy, despite his furious efforts for the last twenty years to get out. joe gave me news of Dave Dotson, who, to all intents and purposes had been lost to the world for the last two decades, in the wilds of Canada's fishing country. Heading back toward Watertown, I rode with Bob Richards, famed neuro-surgeon, who persisted in telling me, in intricate and gory detail, of his operations, of which there were, unfortunately, a very great number. I stopped off in Groton to see my old friend, Mayor G. Barnum. My itinerary also included New Haven, where local bookie john Gorman treated me to a fine lunch, and informed me of his syndicates plans to use Herb Willett's tubing company as a front. I gathered from john that he was working in close afliliation with Waterbury ward boss Honest jim Daly. john told me, inci- dentally, that the current idol of New Haven bobby-soxers was the new Hollywood song and dance man, Ronnie Dittman. Before reaching Taft again, I met two of her sons much in public life, prize fight announcer, Vic Altshul, and Al Whittemore, noted authority on jazz and dixieland. Al told me that Louis Cornell was making money hand over fist with his national monopoly on science-fiction pub' lishing houses. In Hartford, I met Bob Weir, who was desperately attempting to get his visa, only a bit worn out by twenty-live years of wading through red tape. Once back in Watertown, I accounted for most of the remaining members of the class of '52. I found Martin Riechenbach had bought out George's market, and business was as good as usual. Local farmer Tom Quea told me the exciting story of how alpinist Tony Mueller had just fulfilled life- long ambition by climbing Black Rock to the cheers of thousands. I was surprised to find so many of the graduates still within the ivy-clad walls. Luis Fernandez I found teaching English to Mr. Sulli- van, hidden away in a corner of the classroom was jack Mueller, still trying to figure out which of' the eleven survivors to save. Outside of purely academic spheres, I noticed that Neil Sullivan was happily employed coaching baseball, having usurped Uncle Henry's position, and that jeff Parsons had been made the first male dietician in the history of Taft. And last, but not least, I mention Mr. Headmaster William Phelps, with whose backing I am making this report. Thus, gentlemen, it would seem by these showings that the returns to the fund should be far greater, since most of the class seems to be too gainfully employed to be too poor to pay. I must admit that I was at first baiiiedp but I finally got the answer from Republican Minority Leader jim Coyle, whose blistering attacks on the Democratic administration have made him famous. He showed me documentary proof that Democratic President Colin Chase, by his liberal Semi New Deal policy, had so boosted the tax rates that the class of '52 literally cannot afford to be generous. The final bit of proof was found to be in the donation itself-a check for 53.11-signed by Colin Chase. 164 lll--4llI'IC1 llllllll-llll llll llll ll C74!Jvez1fi4emenll4 g g ll!
