These halls have heen a home to us in long Days carefree, rich with open wonderment, Till now we sing a retrospective song. 4 Our mutual joys, our friendly loves and hates, Our common cheers, this consort in sweet song, The games of youth, the learning love creates, Shall all return to us some years along. 5 And they shall seem to us in that far day Like unforseen fond meetings with old friends - With kindly peace shall hear our grief away, And help us home with Hope that Memory sends. 6 Into the world with fearless step and free We soon shall pass. I n these propitious days The torch is lit, God gives us grace that we May hear that glorious light long, ablaze. - JOHN KNOX JESSUP 24 95 SENIOR POLL Most Popular - McCartney S3, Giobbe 3, Losee 2, Castro 1 Done Most for Taft - McCartney 27, Gillespie 17, Britell 8, Jordan 4 Done Taft for Most - Schiavone 14, Cheney 11, Peck 5, Becker 3, Terror 1 Most Likely to Succeed - Britell 26, Jordan 7, Gillespie S , Berlage 4 Most Versatile -- Hubbard, F. 19, Gillespie 7, jordan S, Berlage 4, Armstrong 4 Busiest - Gillespie 27 , Britell 8, Berlage 7, Bugden 3, Larson 3 Most Brilliant - Collins 32, Morse 11, Britell 8, Jordan 6 Most Conscientious - Gillespie 17, Bender 8, Larson 7, Bugden 3, Britell 3 Hardest Worker - Bugden 35, Larson 8, Erlanger 4, Bender 3, Gillespie 3 Handsomest - Gillett 24, Leech 8, Breed 6, Dawson 6, McCartney 4 Things He ls - Arrouet 1 5, Armstrong 13, Hardwick 9, O'Kieffe 5, Buckley 4 Best Build - Leech 22, Begg 12, Hubbard, F. 11, Martin 4, Hasler 2 Thinks He Is - Pulaski 21, Armstrong 13, Arrouet 11, Baier 5, Worth 2 Most Coordinated - Begg 45, Hubbard, F. 6, Armstrong 4, DuBois 2, Mellor 2 Least -- Mellor 16, Luria 11, Samponaro 6, Camp 5 Wittiest - Losee 18, Staber 9, Peck S , Morse 5 , Mellor 4 Thinks He I s - Mellor 1 1, Merrow 9, Buckley 7, Pulaski 5, Sterno 4 Most Entertaining - Losee 40, Peynado 4, Peck 3, Moose 3, O'Kieffe 2 Best Personality - Herold 8, McCartney 6, Losee 5, Stevenson 4, Camp 4 Best Natured - Knox 13, Giobbe 6, Welch 6, Herold 4, Lavine 3 Most Sincere - Lavine 13, Giobbe 9, Larson 8, Bender 6, Gillespie 4 Most Dependable - Gillespie 11, Giobbe 10, Hymn 99994 7, Soccer team 1 Least -- Breed 21, Lincoln's nose 7, Good meal S, Hardwick S, Martiny 1 Most Considerate - Giobbe 10, Lavine 8, Samponaro S , McCartney 4, Bender 4 Best Mannered - Hubbard, G. 9, Gillespie S, Gillett S, McCartney S, Losee 4 Least Tactful - O'Kieffe 14, Baier 8, Dunlap 7, Berlage 6, Martiny 4 Most Belligerent - Pulaski 12, O'Kieffe 9, Losee 8, Berlage S, Hubbard, F. 4 Most Sarcastic - Merrow 11, Baier 9, Lee 6, Berlage 5, W.

We began the season with only four starters return- ing from the winless 1957 team and our prospects were not very bright. After only two weeks of practice, however, we opened in spectacular fashion with a 32-0 victory over Kingswood despite a driving rain storm. The game was highlighted by Dick duPont's fme pas- sing and the running, and by the receiving of Hubbard, Goulard, and Schanno. This was the only game of the season in which, sparked by Laton McCartney and John Jordan, the Taft defense was outstanding, and on this occasion it was nothing short of being outstanding. Goulard's 35 yd. broken field run and duPont's 55 yd. pass to Schanno were the most spectacular scoring plays of the day. The following week we lost a very close contest to a strong Crosby High School team, 14-8. Hubbard opened the scoring on a line buck from the three, but a fumble in Crosby territory ended our fourth period touchdown march. Choate proved every bit as strong as reputed and outclassed us at Wallingford, 40-12. Taft moved the ball with some success, but we were unable to contain the offense of the much bigger and faster opponent. Dunlap's touchdown was set up by a 45 yd. duPont to Crocker pass, and early in the fourth period John Hurd bucked over the second Taft score. The Williston game established a pattern for the contests with Loomis and Hotchkiss. In each case, moving the ball with apparent ease, but seldom scoring due to a three- week plague of fumbles, we dominated the first half. All three opponents came roaring back in the second half to riddle a crumbling Taft defense. The offensive line play of Captain Tom Losee, Jim Rule, and Bowie Duncan and the inspirational running of Toby Hubbard kept the team together, but these exceptions could not compensate for the downfleld fumbles. Playing away from home in the season's final game, we faced a powerful Kent team before a large crowd. Taft pulled itself together in this contest and played an inspired game. A hard, charging, Taft line broke through on the opening play, forced a fumble, and recovered deep in Kent territory. Moments later we scored on a 5 yd. pass from duPont to fullback Jim Goulard. In the second quarter Taft put together a sustained march to offset a pair of Kent scores, but we trailed 14-12 at the half. The team overcame its usual second half dilema, however, and rolled to a two touchdown lead. DuPont threw a beautiful 55 yd., bootleg passi' to Sam Crocker for one touchdown, and, after Nate Allen had returned a blocked punt to the Kent 15 yd. line, Hubbard plunged for our fourth touchdown. The game had a heartbreaking Hnish for Taft, as Kent, trailing 26-14 with less than three minutes remaining, came back with two lightning touchdowns to tie the score. However, the finish did not erase the team's satisfaction in its own performance. Surely, a remembrance of this contest will add greatly to our confidence in the coming season. The prospects for next year are definitely good, but Taft will have some major holes to fill. We will miss the running of Hubbard and the defensive work of Steve Leech in the backfield. Up front, graduation will carry off Nate Allen, Kim Bartlett, Jan Berlage, Randy Collins, John Dunlap, John Jordan, Layton McCartney, Bill Peck, Dick Staber, Bob Taft, Beckner Worth and Captain Tom Losee. To these players the coaches say, good luck! And keep rooting for us.

Our record of 9 wins and 2 losses is the finest this School has ever produced. The length of our schedule, the exceedingly high calibre of soccer which is now common in this area, and the fact that of our two losses one was to the Yale Freshmen and the second was the result of three defensive blunders on our part, all were factors used in evaluating the team's success. Our initial four contests involved teams which were obviously weaker than we. In these games we tallied 22 goals and held our antagonists scoreless. However, we had not been testedg this factor was strongly de- terminant in the outcome of the Kent and Yale Freshman games, both of which we lost by identical 3-0 scores. The team experienced a rather bad day against Kent, and the Kentees took good advantage of our errors. Yale tallied all three goals during eight minutes of the second quarter, but Taft went on to fight the remainder of the contest on even terms. Following this match came our five final victories over Loomis, Choate, Hopkins Grammar, Hotchkiss, and Kingswood. The win over the Blue from Lakeville was most sweet to all concerned, as no Red soccer contingent had defeated Hotchkiss since the present coaches took over the Taft Varsity 5 years ago. Furthermore, our team's performance in its final contest Cwith Kingswoodj was little short of phenomenal. The Red kept offensive pressure on its foe for the full 60 minutes. Surely the final tally of 4-0 does not begin to describe Taftis superiority over this good Kingswood team, which had held down Kent to one goal. There are many boys I could mention as having contributed effectively to this splendid season. Outstanding participant was our right inside co-captain Bob DuBois, possibly the finest all-around native soccer player Taft has ever produced. Our talented center forward Leigh Baier tallied 17 goals and set up many others with his clever passing. Dave Dawson, at center halfback, was the most improved player on the team. Co-captain Jean Arrouet performed capably at his left wing position and was the holler guy , the leader who spurred his mates on with his much needed chatter. Finally, George Hubbard fthe English Exchange studentj, Don MacFarlane and Cliff Warren-Boulton, none of whom had ever played junior Varsity Soccer, all sparked the team with their fresh talent. Further commendation must be given to linemen Francis Arrouet, Howard Bing, and John Gillespie who helped out materially at the left inside post, to halfbacks Chuck Begg and John Armstrong, who bulwarked the outside defensive areas, and to Millard Cox, at left fullback, who was an able running-mate for Warren-Boulton. In short, it was a most satisfying, though at times nervewracking, season. L. P.

The quality of play was di- versified: sometimes good, sometimes bad, sometimes , indifferent, yet sometimes even scintillating. Moreover, as one would expect, the contests were exciting, enter- taining, and tense. Indeed, the outcome was frequently in doubt until the closing minutes, or, in some cases, seconds. Taft lost two uovertimen games, won a sudden death decision, and eked out two wins by a scant one- point margin. Even with the season concluded and all the evidence in, it is difficult to make a reliable analysis of the cause for not producing better results with the material available in the form of six returning letter-men from a reasonably successful 1958 squad. The players are to be admired for their perseverance. Regardless of the outcome of the previous day's game, ever striving to remedy defects in their play, they reported for practice promptly and hustled throughout drills and scrimmage. This stay with it attitude accounted for some brillant victories against topnotch opposition, notably wins over the only two teams capable of defeating the eventual champion of the Tri-State League, of which Taft is a member. Apparent throughout the season was Captain Dave Dawson's quiet, but effective leadership. An excellent defensive player, yet an aggressive rebounder, he led the team by example. The haras- sing tactics, perpetual hustle, and play-making exhibited by Bob DuBois, Jim Goulard, and Denny Schanno contributed greatly to the team's success during the closing stages of the season. Although erratic in his play, John Armstrong proved to be the team's high scorer and gave some clutch performances worthy of the All-American Boy . The rebounding, scoring, and drive of the late-discovered Bob Hilliard pro- vided the attributes to complete finally the long sought after well balanced team. Among the remaining players on the squad, Zack Krieger and Bob Cabassa with their set-shooting and defensive play, Beckner Worth, Leigh Baier, and Bob Taft, with their rebouding, and jim Wilson with his play-making all contributed significantly to the victories. Although some of the players did not put in as much game time as others, the entire team can be commended for its fine spirit and for the serious manner in which the members applied themselves to practice. Despite the loss of several senior 'lgreats , surely the excellent playing of returning upper-middlers an the profit gained from observation of past mistakes will secure for Taft next year a top position in the high school basketball world. l40 THE Taft Taft Taft Taft Taft Taft Taft Taft Taft Taft Taft Taft Taft Taft Taft Taft 38 53 36 47 45 60 59 45 37 50 46 53 74 43 66 62 VARSITY RECORD Kingswood 47 Trinity-Pawling 65 Berkshire 43 Choate 46 Hotchkiss 50 Kent 58 Gunnery 45 Trinity-Pawling 62 Hotchkiss 59 Canterbury 35 Kent 47 Berkshire 52 Hopkins Grammar Centerbury 55 Gunnery 55 Loomis 53 BASKETBALL 5 Back row: Mr. Logan, Srbunno, Krieger, Taft, Worlb, Buier, WiISOI1 Cabana Bunlsall Front row: Goulanl, Hilliard.

Against excel- lent competition Taft won 9 regular and 2 informal games while losing 6 and tieing 1. The season included many memorable games. One of these was a 7-4 loss to Dates Fryberger and Kent. Taft played one of their best games and led for half the game before succumbing to Dates' 4 goals and 3 assistants. For the first time we broke even in freshman competition. We lost to Yale, but tied Williams in a six man attack with ten seconds remaining in the game. The team defeated the Princeton freshmen, twice having to come from behind. The regular season ended on a fine note when we played the Connecticut high school champions, Hamden. Taft completely dominated the game and only the fine work of Hamden's goalie held the score to 3-0. The high scoring senior first line combined the speed and accurate shooting of Spike Hasler, the grace and deception of Jean Arrouet, and the drive and determination of Toby Hubbard. The second line combined senior Crick Cluett's fine play making, Dick duPont's clever stick handling, and Captain Crocker's quickness and fire. The third line of Steve Littell, Charlie Scholhamer, and Terry Teryazos aided by Peter Platt and Tim Hyde saw almost as much action as the first two lines, and showed consider- able potential. King Martin was the only defenseman with varsity experience, but his considerable ability was complimented by two members of last year's J. V. team, Bob Dayton, an upper middler with a fine sense of position and Tom Macy, a promising middler. Peter Neimeyer, a lower mid, showed exceptional potential while adding greatly to our defensive strength. The team was most fortunate this year to have two out- standing, hardworking goalies, John Dunham and Bill Peck. Next year with the Captain and nine other members of this yearls squad returning plus material from the excellent J.V. and Lower School teams, Taft should prove a strong contender in both the league and the Lawrenceville tournament. 144 THE RECORD Taft is Taft :9Taft Taft Taft Taft Taft Taft Taft Taft Taft Taft Taft Taft Taft Taft Taft Taft :5Taft 3 9 4 1 1 4 0 10 5 4 0 12 4 9 4 3 1 3 3 Princeton Fr. 2 U. of Penn. 0 Yale Urps 3 Loomis 4 Yale Fr. 10 Hotchkiss 1 Choate 2 South Kent 0 Amity H.S. 0 Hotchkiss 1 Kent 8 Canterbury 2 Westminster 0 South Kent 0 Kent 7 Williams Fr. 3 Choate 3 Hamden 3 Alumni 8 if Informal Games VARSITY HOCKEY Back row: Pvvfc, W., Marlin, HLIXIN, Hlzlllmlwf, lf., Crorkrr fCaplafHj, Awami I Dajirm Dllfibdlll Front row: Mr. Surgrrzl, JHPOVII, Fluff, Trryazas, INYt'flIl!'j't'V', Mary, Clmff H314 T Llfl Il Buftcr fManugvrj 145 JUNIOR VARSITY HOCKEY Hack row: Mr. Cflruxr, lifrlnrrfwll, H., Wfal'1'r11-Iirawlfoll, Orton, Wfrlzlz, Hull, l'm'l1, T., Milrlwll, I. llywlv, A.

ALPHA ALPHA mv' BETA BETA W GAMMA GAMMA 147 WRESTLING REVIEW This year's Varsity wrestling team ranks with the best of the last twenty years. The record of 5 wins .. iM:'. with 2 losses to New England Champions Kent and perennially powerful Choate is a fine tribute to a squad truly characterized by dauntless spirit, optimism and determination and the exemplary leadership of Captain Chuch Begg. ' 'E+' A few statistics will suffice to show where our real strength lay. Not one of the ten regular first string wrestlers experienced a losing record. In the first three weight classes we lost only 2 out of the 21 bouts during the season. In the very difficult middle weights we were fortunate to have great experience in the form of Begg, Steve Leech, and Rocky Martiny, although Captain Begg was out for four matches during the season with a case of mumps. Greatly improved, the heavyweights balanced off this excellent team. In this first match of the season, at Gunnery, Rush, Hitch, Begg and Carey deci- sioned, while Walsh and Walker pinned their opponents to win for us a 24 to 15 match. After Christmas vacation we fielded our strongest team of the season to roll up a 30 to 8 score over Wooster. Walsh, Hitch, Walker, Begg, Leech, Martiny, Duncan, and Carey won to give us a lead of 30 to 0 before Losee lost to Riall and Hammer lost 6 to 2 to the State Champion Powers. The following week, Hitch, Walker, Leech, Martiny, Losee, and Hammer all won most impressive decisions, and Walsh pinned his third straight man of the year to bring back to the school Taft's first win over Loomis in the last ten years. Connecticut State Champions for two years and New England Champions last year, the Kent wrestlers were just too fast and experienced for us to handle, as we bowed gracefully out with a score to 6 to 30. Walsh and Walker won decisively, Carey lost a heartbreaker in the closing seconds of his match with Pagano, and, before being pinned late in the second period, Losee highlighted the match scoring the first point of the season off two year New England Champion Jim Ferguson. We reached our peak a week too early, when we demolished a powerful team, Kings- wood, which had beaten us the previous year. Dick Walsh did a creditable job of wrestling by nervously squeaking out a 3 to 2 decision over state champion Dolce. Hitch and Leech wrestled exceptionally ine bouts, losing by two points apiece to State Champions. In his first Varsity match, Fred Henry exhibited great promise, and tied a State runner-up 11 to 11. Walker, Martiny, Carey, Losee and Hammer decisioned, and Duncan pinned to make the score 25 to 8. Dance Weekend was too much for us against Choate. Walsh, Hitch, Leech, and Pelz wrestled effectively and won. Duncan exhibited his usual speed and determination in tying Wiley, and Henry Walker, moving up a class to 133 to take on a New England Champion, reflected great credit upon himself in not getting pinned. Inability to score any points in the four heaviest classes cost us our chance to upset one of Choate's best teams in years, as we lost by the narrow margin of 16 to 19. The Berkshire match was anticlimatic as we rolled up a 36 to S score with the return of Captain Begg after over a month. Walsh, Rush, Henry, Martiny, Carey, Duncan, Hammer and Dotson all won, and Begg tied with the Berkshire captain 2 to 2. By winning this match, Dick Walsh entered the elite class of undefeated wrestlers with a record of 7 wins. It was a pleasure to note throughout the season how Taft wrestlers were rarely out muscled or out hustled by their opponents. The desire to learn thoroughly and effec- tively the requisite holds in wrestling and the ability to execute them quickly under pressure were greatly enhanced by those Seniors whose experience we will miss sorely next year. Three year lettermen Begg and Leech, experienced Martiny and Carey, and greatly improved Losee and Dotson all graduate, but with lettermen Duncan, Hammer, Henry, Hitch, Pelz, Rush, Walker and Captain elect, Walsh, returning next year the Taft School wrestling future seems bright. .gggzl an 148 VARSITY WRESTLING Back row: Mr. Smith, Barllvtt, Carry, Loser, Dunrau, Hammrr Dotson Wzlllunzs W Mr Small Front row: Henry, Hitch, Walkfr, Marliny, Begg fCaplair1J, Leech Wulsb Pal Rush THE RECORD Taft 36 Berkshire 5 Taft 24 Gunnery 15 Taft 30 Wooster 8 Taft 23 Loomis 13 Taft 6 Kent 30 Taft 25 Kingswood Taft 16 Choate 19 Taft 36 Berkshire S 149 JUNIOR VARSITY WRESTLING Back row: MrNeely, Wbileman, Mailliard Front row: Ducbein, Clippinger, Fowler, Hawes, Wright, T 150 From the Vacation, it produce one fifteen years BASEBALL REVIEW very beginning of practice before Spring was obvious that the 1959 season would of the better baseball records of the last We had players with experience returning in all the infield positions. Only in pitching and in out- fielding were we actually seeking players. For the first two and a half weeks of the season, various combinations were used in an effort to fill a few obvious gaps in the lineup, but by the first game with Choate we had found our strongest nine. Indeed, we played excellent baseball for almost the entire season. Our team committed fourteen errors in its first four games, but only eleven in the last eleven encounters. a scarcity of extra-base hits. This year we hammered out two home runs, five triples, and six doubles. Many of these came at crucial moments of tight games, and six of them actually won games for us. In other seasons we have had Perhaps our finest game was at Choate. Toby Hubbard allowed only four hits and walked but a single batter. Behind him the team played errorless ball in the field and collected nine hits. Although we lost, we played extremely well against Hotchkiss. At Lakeville, after a weak first inning, we played eleven innings of errorless ball. Our pitcher allowed only four hits and four walks. Prospects for next year seem bright, although it will be most difficult to replace Toby Hubbard. He pitched, caught, and batted with distinction. Among the others not returning, Tom Losee and Larry Weidemier behind the bat, and Dick Staber on the mound gave us added battery strength which made the difference in a number of games during the season and which we will miss. We are losing also the hustle and determina- tion of John Jordan and Bob DuBois at first base and in the outfield respectively. But we have a solid nucleus for another successful team in infielders Dick Gregory, Sam Crocker, Jim Goulard, and in outfielders Bob Hilliard and Dick duPont. Whether we can equal this year's record of nine wins, three losses, and a tie will hinge on Bert Hopeman's pitching and the ability of reserve or junior varsity players to fill one out- field position, first base, and the infield positions which will probably be open.

Lack of depth in most events, but par- ticularly in the weights and the pole vault caused an inability to score decisively in these meets where the team was in a position to face its opposition on more or less even terms. In addition, Choate and Hotchkiss put on the field extremely powerful and Well balanced teams which were too much for all of their competitors. They were virtually of college caliber. Notwithstanding the inability of the squad to win a single meet, the morale was amazingly high. The desire - for better meet performance intensified the entire regi- men of practice. Moreover, despite an increased load of of work, there was never a word of complaint, grumbling was at a minimum. Not a slight factor in this desirable state of affairs was the impressive leadership provided by Captain Leigh Baier. Leigh was an inspired competitor, who by force of his excellent performance, gave a spark of eagerness that was always exemplary. Outstanding among Baier's achievements was his performance in the Hotchkiss meet, where he set a new school record of six feet, one and one quarter inches in the high jump. Surely, Leigh's influence has set a worthy standard for his successors, Jim Mitchell and Haskins Ridens, co-captains for next year's team. All was not black, however, in the track situation. The J. V. defeated Choate de- cisively, had little trouble with Berkshire, and just lost to Hotchkiss in the relay. In addition, with an expanded schedule, the Lower School Team performed well during the season and won a second in the Junior Quadrangular Meet held at Choate. The enthusiasm of these younger boys and their constant progress during the year merits some optimism for the future. The feeling of the coaches is unanimous that developing boys from their Lower Middle year and, during the course of this development, providing them with com- mensurate competion in the form of Lower School and J. V. meets can best effect an improvement in the track picture. Finally, there is hope that Cross Country, a new fall sport at Taft, will give the track teams of the near future an added invigoration.

In compiling an eight and three record, this year's group was outclassed only by the Yale Freshman but lost close matches to Kent and Choate. Captain John Armstrong was outstanding throughout the year, and, playing in the number one position, lost only a single prep-school match and that in a close three set contest to Choate. In addition to his fine play, he was also an excellent captain and a fine inspirational leader. C. D. Smith, who played the number two position, was severely handicapped by a long illness at the beginning of the season, but he still managed to win four of six matches. Dave Brooks, number three, won nine of eleven matches, including fine wins over Yale, Kent, and Hotchkiss. Moreover, winning eight of eleven matches, Dwight Wheeler at number four amassed a fine record. The only member of the team without previous experience, Sam Applegate, improved steadily throughout the season, winning seven of eleven matches, including a win against Choate. Bob Montague in the number six position played very well during the early part of the season, but failed to regain his early form after a mid-season illness. The remaining three members of the squad - john McNiff, Zack Krieger, and Ben Breed, the team's only senior besides captain Armstrong - all played in several matches and performed well. In addition, the competition furnished for positions on the starting six helped immeasurably toward the success of the team. It is diflicult to discuss the doubles, as injury and illness resulted in many different combinations. However, the doubles team of Armstrong and Smith played well in win- ning two of their three matches. Brooks and Wheeler had the best record, winning five of six matches, their only loss being a close three set with Choate. In general, the spirit of the entire team could not have been better. The group worked hard and conscientiously throughout the season, corrected their weaknesses, and im- proved steadily. With five of six starters returning and with several very promising players from the Junior Varsity, next year should have another fine team. Perhaps 1960 will be the year that Taft rises above the entire tennis league.

Playing seven men in each match and following the Intercol- legiate rules, we triumphed in seven matches, lost in two, and tied our opener with the Amherst Freshmen. No other team except that of 1931 has topped this year's record and whether any team has had the depth which characterized the 1959 group is doubtful. Com- petition now being very keen, only Hopkins and Kings- wood contested with us in matches which we could be reasonably sure of winning. In short, our golfers faired well with their most arduous schedule. Our opener with Amherst in had only one day's practice on the greens. Playing on a very dry course with almost completely winter-killed greens, we were able to eke out a tie. Following this tie came a thrilling win over the Wesleyan Frosh, as unheralded Herb Carlson birdied our dif- ficult second hole for the win. Perennially powerful Yale took us into camp, 5-2, in our next encounter, but the score could not have been closer. Following this came two important wins over Hotchkiss and Choate, in the former of which co-captain Bob Bugden became the day's hero by holing a 12-foot birdie put on the 19th for the team's victory. Massachusetts took place in April at a time when Taft Hopkins, Kingswood, and Suffield were easy victims in the ensuing days. However, the Suffield tally was rather a surprise to us, this very same team defeated us last year, but in this season's match all seven Taft golfers scored in the seventies. Having exhausted ourselves in prior matches we experienced a 7-0 loss to Hotchkiss. Actually, we met a very good Hotchkiss team, one which deserved its trouncing of the Big Red in every respect. Our Hnal contest with Choate at Wallingford was another thrillerg only clutch performances by Bob Taft and especially Spike Hasler enabled us to earn a victory. Our principal attribute this year was depth. The men in our top positions, Schanno, Hasler, Bugden, and Rexach, turned in splended scores, but it was the ability of our members in the last three positions, Bob Legg, Weed Wilson, Bob Taft, and Don MacFarlane, to bring important victories that counted immeasurably to our record.

He knew also the priceless measure of his gain. For this was the way which would be forever closed to him - the way of no return. He was out.', And, being out, he began to see another way, the way that lay before him . . . There was no road back. Ended now for him, with the sharp and clean finality of the closing of a door, was the time when his dark roots, like those of a pot bound plant, could be left to feed upon their own substance and nourish their own self-absorbed designs. Henceforth they must spread outward . . . When Thomas Wolfe wrote these words, he was describing the departure of an American named George Webber from the Germany which he so strongly loved, but which he could never visit again because of the claustrophobic effect of its Nazi totali- tarianism upon his mind. To Webber that country had represented a place for living and for learning from and about life - from life because of his actual associations and experiences, and about life because of his occupation with the study of great German literature. There had been some things about the country which had irritated him, yet, even in self-imposed departure, he loved it still. A place to live and learn from and about life. Such is this school. Quite obviously, we who have lived here have learned about life. We have studied the New Deal and have discovered that there are really two political parties in the United States. And we have read enough Shakespeare to write sprawling essays about the influence of the fatal flaw on the tragic hero and upon man's inhumanity to man. Some of us can compose stylized pieces in Spanish, French, or German, while others can recite passages from Aeneid or discuss calculus without a trot. We have listened to lectures about the relationship between science and religion, and about the capabilities of atomic sub- marines in polar regions. Essentially, others have taught us what life is about. How, then, have we learned from life, if we have been cloistered for three or four years? Because we have lived in such proximity with each other, we have learned from life. When a boy comes to Taft, he finds himself in a socialistic society wherein he has no advantage over his classmates. He must share with them the responsibilities and irre- sponsibilities of each day -- he works with them, plays with them, fights with them, and laughs with them. As he looks back over his years in Watertown, every boy must realize that his has been a many-sided view of human nature. He has met different types of people and has lived congenially with them. Though isolated, he has learned indeed from life - has learned that method of living without emotional friction in a close relationship with other human beings. Today we are leaving Taft. In a few minutes we will be Rout. We have heard many things about out. People have told us that there the Medusa awaits us, the sight of whom will turn us all to stone. They have said that bad men live there, com- 174 munistsg that these communists are Russian, and that we must hate all Russians. They have said that every htunan action in this pointless society has its psychological founda- tion, and that, hence, we must blame our parents when we become bald at thirty-five because they spanked us with a hairbrush. And they have written thousands of words about the comformity which is decaying this generation, about the imminent danger of atomic attack, and about the machines which are gaining more and more control of politics and labor in this country. If one were to interpret this version of the world as a symphont, the result would undoubtedly resemble a cross between a conglomeration of dischords and a second-rate horror movie. Perhaps out is not such a loud place. Life may be many things, but it remains an individual pastime. If one can but keep his head above the somewhat ampliied waters of disillusionment and pleasure-seeking, he may find indeed that the world is strangely quiet. This morning represents a death, the death of the schoolboy lifetime. We have passed from the morbid self-consciousness of the Lower Middly and Middle years, from the sarcastic bumptiousness of the Upper Middle year, and through the relative maturity of Senior year. We are not yet men, but by no means boys. We still remember vividly these years of adolescence. With a certain nostalgia we will reminisce about the schoolboy pranks and the faculty idiosyncracies. Eventually, though, the names will fade, and the faces will blur. No matter how many reunions we attend, no matter how often we get together with old classmates, the severed here Will never be repaired. And this is right. There is no road back. In and after college our lives will remain a series of departures. We will leave institutions in which we have spent many years, towns in which we have made our home, and people whom we have grown to love. To remain where one no longer sees a purpose in that which he is doing is to become stagnant. We must not allow our roots to feed upon their own Substance. However, we should not deceive ourselves with a doctrine of optimistic infallibility. There are limitations to what each of us can accomplish. Some of us are high jumpers who must strain to cross the bar at four feet, while others can easily clear five or six feet. If we are to avoid stagnation, we must try to utilize the capabilities with which our genes have endowed us. We can do no more. This evening, somewhat diverted by the prospect of the coming summer, and, some- what mukkled by nostalgia, we shall be miles from the Taft School. It would seem fitting that, as we leave, we pause for the reflection of a moment. Let us fix in our minds the picture of the school itself, as it appears beneath the foliage of early summer . . . And let us think just once upon the men who have worked so unselfishly . . . and who have shared their experiences with us. CLASS PROPHECY NITE LITE fNite Lite theme fades in and out.j RADIO CENTRAL: Today is June S, 19803 and this is Nite Lite, the Universal Radio Service, which brings the world into your living room. And now, without further ado, we take you straight to Dismal Seepage, Ohio, where the 1980 Olympics have just gotten under way. Here now is Good Ol' Charlie Brown to bring you the action on the field. Come in, Charlie Brown at Olympic Stadium . . . Chas: This is Good Ol' Carley Brown at the Olympic Stadium. The Stadium is a neo-modern affair described by Designer TOM WELCH as part Pueblo cliff dwelling and part Frank Lloyd Wright. This morning the Olympics were opened as former college track star JEAN AR- ROUET passed Dr. PHILIP SAMPONARO'S foot inspection, and sprinted into the stadium bearing the Olympic Torch. 175 Now to the action on the field. Over there I can see high jump contestant LEIGH BAIER, The Human Fly. He appears to have recovered from the ill effects of a hot dog supplied by HOWIE BING, The Hot Dog King. Good Grief ! ! ! A Sherman Tank has roared out on the Held! No . . . No, its just decathlon star FROSTY HUBBARD. Young Frost has contracts pending with the New York Yankees, The New York Football Giants, The New York Rangers, and The Kent School . . . Meanwhile, here in the Press Box JOHN MERROW, commentator, is explaining to Olympic Bridge Champions JON GILLETT and WARD Charlie Goren STEVEN- SON how they should have played their last hand. And now some Olympic news from elsewhere. Commodore PETER LARSON has again successfully defended America's Cup in the Sering Straits kayak races. Com- modore Larson's Stalwortb III trounced the British contender backed by the GEORGE HUBBARD syndicate of Tetley Tea Tasters. Also a word from Siberia and the Olympic Hockey Competation. U. S. coach JOHN BECKER has suspended star goalie JOHN DUNHAM for tripping and violently attacking Russian foreward Nick Rubashov in yesterday's game. Dunham was defended by team mate SPIKE HASLER, who said: That's not fair! The guy was in the crease . . . so the Dunker smashed him! Now back to the Olympics. Before us in JOHN DUNLAP and ROCK MARTINY of the Mauler and Martiny Gymnasium Chain. They are demonstrating weight lifting to some of the Olympic stars. Among the spectators are Olympic wrestler STEVE LEECH and the captain of The United States Basketball Team - DAVE DAWSON. The Mauler' is now demonstrating his radical Hop Skip and Jerk technique. fSounds of violent physical effort, followed by a resounding crashj Well, that's the way the cookie crumbles! Back to Radio Central. RADIO CENTRAL: Good Ol' Charlie Brown . . .We've just received word from Miami that Dominican Dictator JACINTO PAYNADO is soon to arrive at the Miami airport. The Generalissimo has been driven into exile by the forces of professional rebel DOUG- LAS O'KIEFFE, the Fighting Irishman. Come in, Miami and Walter Crunkle. Walt: This is Walter Crunkle in Miami. A number of dignitaries have gathered here to greet Generalissimo Peynado. Among them are Senator ROBERT TAFT, the State Dept's official representative, PETER BRITELL, president of Executives Inc.g JOHN LAVINE, head of the Associated Pressg CHRISTOPHER CLUETT, of CLUETT and Peabodyg and MICHAEL GIOBBE, manufacturer of Flugals and Fentlocks. Now entering the waiting room are RICHARD ERLANGER, Waterbury clothing merchant, men's fashions expert SIMON STANFIELD, and, of course, JOHN MER- ROW, commentator. PEYNADO's convoy of planes has just landed, it appears to be carrying the whole Dominican treasury, plus everything movable in the Presidential palace. The Treasury Department's MIKE FOWLER is racing out onto the field, loudly demanding the gov- ernment's share of the loot. fSirens, etc.j But wait . . . Something's up! Fire engines and Emergency trucks are racing out onto the field! LOUDSPEAKER: Clear all runways. Clear all runways. This is an emergency. DANIEL QUICK's experimental jet, the Tiger x-13, is out of control! Clear all runways. Will the senator from Ohio kindly stop chasing that ambulance! WALT: I can see the Tiger x-13. It's heading for the control tower. It's going to crash! It barely missed! Now it's flapping its wings, trying to gain altitude. Here it comes again! Look out . . . ! fSound of crashing plane, followed by demonaical laughterj 176 RADIO CENTRAL: Well, back to the old drawing board. Poor old Walter . . . Q Sound of teletype machines fades in and outj And now Nite Lite brings you the 11:00 news, compiled and edited by WTFT's back- stabbing newsanalyst DAVID LURIA, and brought to you through the courtesy of BUCKLEY Motors, New England's Largest Ford Dealer. And now here is the news. TELETYPE: KICKAPOO FALLS, N. C. - The crucial senatorial race in this state grew hotter as candidate JAN BERLAGE ended a fiery campaign tour here today. The purpose of this final appeal, snarled BERLAGE, was to achieve the spontaneous effect of a non-synchronous engagement which would strengthen my platform syllogisticallyf' NEW YORK CITY - Rock and roll received a black eye today from the Citizen's Committee for Clean Living, JOHN T. GILLESPIE, President. STEVE BENDER, the committee's spokesman, soundly condemned currently popular sick-symbol, EBEN- EEZER BREED, for his latest recording on the DU BOIS label, Sick, Man, Sick. MR. BENDER said, The lyrics of BREED's agonized recording are not conducive to high ethical and moral standards. Furthermore, the effect of such sick music is hampering the fund-raising efforts of the committee's treasurer, BOB PHILLIPS. SLEEPY HOLLOW, NEW YORK -- Sleep Expert MIKE TAYLOR has just verified the Rip van Winkle Legend by actually sleeping for twenty years. HARTFORD, CONN. - On the local scene there seems to be a new block forming in the state legislature. Watertown representative FRED FRENCH is heading the newly formed Naugatuck Valley Development Commission. The group consists ofg Chamber of Commerce chief ROBERT BARRY, Waterbury manufacturer BRUCE POWELL, and silent partner LARRY WEIDEMIER. Their objective is to transform the Naugatuck River Valley into a luxurious resort area. -- And now for the story of the agriculturalist who almost made history. DR. DAVID DOTSON, President of Kansas A. Sl M., was hoeing a patch of hybrid sun- flowers. Suddenly he struck something hard - a human skull, which he took to archeologist DAVE HEROLD, an expert on the Neanderthal Man. After a close examination, HEROLD'S only remark was, Alas, poor Yorick. I knew him well . . . fMartial music rises and fades, signifying the close of the newscastj RADIO CENTRAL: And that's the news, brought to you each day at this time by Buckley Motors, serving New England with a smile. It's time for a special sports presentation. Here is the tape of our earlier broadcast of the 99th running of the Kentuckey Derby, and here, bringing you all the action, is WTFT's Clem McCartney. CLEM: Thank you, Radio Central, and good afternoon radio listeners. I'm speaking to you from the press box here at beautiful Churchill Downs. On my right is, of course, John Merrow, commentator, frantically scribbling down last minute notes for his commentary. And now our WTFT Peewee Snoopee recorder transmitter, designed by MURRAY SARGENT Industries and operated by chief engineer DOUG ALLEN takes you around the track before the big race starts. Over there by the S2 window, studying the racing form, is professional Southerner MILLARD COX. Down by the track is local golf pro BOB BUGDEN, who recently won the National Miniature Golf Open. Standing next to him are JOHN JORDAN, local circuit judge, and JOHN ARM- STRONG, the man who brought the grey flannel suit to Louisville. Both men are members of the exclusive BECKNER WORTH syndicate, owner of one of the entries. The horses are at the starting gate now. The crowd is hushed, waiting for the big moment. AND THEY'RE OFF. fRunning commentary of the race, concluding with . . .J They're coming into the home stretch now, and it's Boom-Rah-Hah and Big Red neck and neck . . . and Boom-Rah-Hah wins by a nose! Hold it folks, there's still some action at the end of the back stretch . . . Something is rounding the far turn . . . 177 fspastic-horse eifectj Just a minute . . . Yes, it's Camel,s Darling! fDemon laughter precisely similar to that which greeted the crash of Dan Quickis Tiger x-l3j RADIO CENTRAL: There you have it, a great finish at the Kentucky Derby. And now, turning from the provincial to the international, it's time once again to hear from our roving reporter, Levoisier Smith, this time in Paris. fsounds of well-patronized Cafej SMITH: Thank you, Radio Central. We're here in LATON McCARTNEY's Mangy Maggot Cafe, the haven for expatriates on the Left Bank here in Paris. On the floor, I see genial host TOM Toots LOSEE chatting with expatriate-at-large BILL PECK. There is quite a crowd here at the Maggot tonight, waiting for the returns from today's elections for President of American Expatria. At the moment, the leading can- didate seems to be KASIMER PULASKI, who has mounted the soap box several times this past month to urge the moving of the capital of Expatria from Paris to Warsaw. Notables in the crowd here tonight include RICHARD LAPEDES, the Van Gogh of the Mid-west, author BOB MORSE, best known for his autobiographical novel Some- tbing to Brood About, engineer RANDALL COLLINS, whose existential parabolic arch has revolutionized European bridgebuildingg and assistant editor of the Encyclo- pedia Britannica, CHRIS CAMP, here doing an article on the Beat Generation. The music in the background is being supplied by MURRAY SARGENT'S latest invention, a singing, guitar-playing robot which he calls Pocket Me . Pocket Moi has just completed its latest hit song, Cogito Ergo Sum. Adding to the gaity is the drinks- on-the-house proclamation of Pulaski's victory-confident campaign manager, HAPPY BOOB KNEX, who struck the keynote of this campaign with his slogan I'd rather be Pole than be President! There is some commotion about the entrance. Now I see coming through the entrance eminent Cinema Critic PETER CAREY accompanied of course, by JOHN MERROW, commentator. They are over here reviewing CHUCK BEGG's latest film, Trolling on the Seine. f Sound of shattering jawsj A small fight has just broken out between some of Pulaski's supporters and a few of the opposition. There seem to be a few injuries, but they are being ably taken care of by RICK DAVIS of the Paris Blood Bank fKill! Kill! lj Well, on that note, I guess we'd better return you to Radio Central. Next week we'll be talking to you from NATE ALLEN's Polar Bar in the heart of downtown Moscow. There we'll interview Riviera exile CHEEVER HARDWICK, who is still trying to keep cool. We'll hear folk-singer DICK STABER render tenderly the folk-songs of Animal Farm. We may even get picked up by the NKVD. Until then, this is Levoisier Smith returning you to Radio Central. RADIO CENTRAL: And this is Radio Central saying that's all for now. Stay tuned for Gabbin' with Gavin with genial host, jocular GAVIN LEE, and be with us tomorrow, when we,ll bring you: fFanfarej WESLEY WILLIAMS, presidential psychiatrist, who will tell us about the President's paranoia, KING MARTIN, author of the best-selling book: How I Stopped Smokingg ARTHUR MELLOR, who will tell us of his lifelong dedication to the search for the Lost Chord, And, the Real story of singer KIM BARTLETT's Waterbury house party. Now, until we meat again, this is Nite Lite, saying: Lights out. 178 jqcfvertlsemen ts Best Uzklzes TO TI-IL Glass 0 1959 FROM FRIENDS OF THE ANNUAL THE TAFT PAPYRUS Associate Editor JOHN JORDAN FROST HUBBARD JOHN MORE JAMES BARTON TIMOTHY BREEN PETER CAREY DAVID GILLESPIE Business Manager STEPHEN BENDER NICHOLAS EGLESON ROBERT BARRY JAN BERLAGE Editor-in-Chief JOHN T.
