DEDICATION LIVINGSTON PATRICK CARROLL, B.A. The mark of a schoolmaster is his own enthusiasm for his work and his ability to create that same enthusiasm in others. It is his chosen task to devote himself to encouraging boys to their best, both in the classroom and beyond its Walls. They must learn that in all they do, the true reward for doing that which is Worthwhile is in the act of doing it. To the memory of a man who understood this principle and Who Was eminently successful in bringing his boys to its understanding, the Class of 1960 dedicates this book. An able teacher, a competent coach, and a loyal friend - this was Livingston Carroll ,37. V L 4:w ' 211a'farszmzW'xv:'sma'wcQfzwsn1afff1x?wd ' , www ,f uw-:,zwQ: w1QM z: ' GEORGE HAROLD MORGAN, Mus.

It was composed almost entirely of seniors who had gained little conhdence, but a great deal of experience, in the two preceding seasons. The team was a light one and depended heavily on its speed and passing attack. Consequently, we were seriously handicapped by the torrential downpours which accompanied four successive Saturdays. 1 We opened the season with an 8-0 victory over 1 Kingswood as Don Challis fired a 40 yard pass to set up the last-minute touchdown. The following Saturday, Pat Caviness sparked a vicious Taft defense that paved the way to a 20-0 victory over Suffield. Two fourth period scoring marches followed duPont's 20 yard touchdown pass to Hilliard. A big Choate line offset Taft's spectacular air game to eke out on 18-14 victory. Goulard sprinted 70 yards with one scoring pass, and Hilliard snared another. Our ground attack moved at will in the second half, but fumbles cost us the game. The Winter monsoon unloaded its first deluge the following week at Will- iston as two strong teams battled to a 0-0 tie. Loomis faced us under similar conditions and made good use of the muddy field as they converted a Taft fumble to an 8-0 victory. Hotchkiss ignored the rain a week later and riddled our ineffective pass defense to pull out a 14-12 victory. We ended the season, however, by over- powering a good Kent Team 22-0. Caviness and Moorhead erupted for long- gainers to break the contest open. Captain Dick duPont led a talented backfield composed of fullback Caviness, llalfbacks, Goulard, Crocker, Ridens, Moorhead, and Norcott. Challis, Smith and Krieger were very able replacements at quarterback. Most of the credit for this team's success, however, should go to an aggressive line. Tackle Jim Rule led a rugged defensive unit composed of Duncan, Greg- gory, Hammer, Hurd, Hilliard and Hampton. Schanno, Myers, Michaelson, Mailliard, Platt, Wiltse, Campbell and Dayton provided us with a good deal of depth along the line. Captain-elect Tom Hammer returns in the line along with several fleet half- backs, but elsewhere there will be a great many shoes to fill. 140 VARSITY FOOTBALL Back row: Mr. 1'w1m'll, Dzrrlwill, Tomliuxmz, AIM-ffffwl, Turyuznx, Can1fwl1ull, Muifliuml, Wfilfxr, Mr Cfnlu' Middle row: Mr. Clwlli, Sfbnlllllll, Pluil, Pwgk, Mym'x, NIi4'lmrlxnu, Cfrurkur, Duyluu, Smitlw, C.

In terms of wins and losses the optimists were disappointed, but were given some cause for cheer because, as the Papyrus put it, the team concluded the season not with a whimp- er, but with a roar defeating two schools boast- ing excellent records and tieing a third with an equally fine record. Getting off to a surprisingly good start, the team defeated Woodbury H. S. in its opener and followed with a win over Gunnery. Then came a deluge of defeats - seven consective losses which showed that Taft obviously lacked the scoring power and the fundamental skills so necessary to attain teamplay. Amidst the wreckage there appeared cne glimmer of hope for better things to come when Taft limited a good Yale Frosh team to a one-goal victory. Un- fortunately this hope was but a fleeting one, for two days later the team, resting on laurels falsely engendered by its good showing against Yale, suffered a rather humiliating defeat at the hands of a strong Loomis team. Although there followed a loss to a good Choate team, Taftis performance was sufficiently improved to warrant a modicum of cheer. Apparently aroused at serving as a doormat, the team, by sheer scrap and determination, took the next two games from Hopkins Grammar and Hotchkiss, teams which had scored victor- ies over schools to whom Taft had lost. Concluding the season against a strong Kingswood team boasting a fine record, Taft again demonstrated its new- found power by battling to a stirring overtime tie before a rain-soaked Father's Day crowd. The 1959 soccer team will be remembered with respect and admiration not only for its splendid play in the closing stages of the season, but for the heroic manner in which it rose from nadir to Zenith under conditions which would have discouraged most. It would be impossible to single out a player or group of players who con- tributed most to the eventual success of the team because it is obvious that the final results were produced by a team effort. As the season progressed every member of the squad strove to improve his skills and overall conception of team play, Captain Cliff Warren-Boulton,s superior speed and educated foot were evident from the outset, but the marked improvement of most was a painfully slow process. Among the most conspicuously improved players were goalie Andy Hyde, backs Sandy Morrissett, Dave Brooks, Jim DeVou, and Davis Webb, wing Peter Hawes, and last, but not least, Tom Wright, con- verted from wing to center forward where he provided the sorely-needed scoring touch. The efficient manner in which Neil Sklaver served the team and the initiative he demonstrated were invaluable. 144 THE RECORD Record: won 4, lost 7, tied I Taft Taft 1 Taft 2 Taft 1 Taft 1 Taft 1 Taft 2 Taft 0 Taft 1 Taft 1 Taft 5 Taft 2 Taft 2 Opponent - Woodbury H.

Not the least impressive quality of the team was its enthusiasm for an admittedly demanding regimen. Needless to say, the training of a cross country team is an arduous process, and without enthusiastic spirit any teamis chances would be severely limited. The function of the captain in circulating this spirit is a most important one and was more than amply fulfilled by jerry Smith, who led his team in a most capable fashion. A good share of the team's success belongs to him. The first meet posed a challenge, Woodbury High had been Class C champions the year before and still had a number of impressive runners from the previous year's team. However, the Taft balance was enough to overcome this advantage. The score was close but rewarding for our first effort, 24-31 in favor of Taft. Our next meet with a strong Loomis team was close, but greater experience and balance gave the victory to Loomis, 23-34. One encouraging note in this meeting was the improvement of the bottom half of the Taft team. Several boys demonstrated genuine talent. This fast rising talent was made evident when we met Cheshire the following week on their course and succeeded in winning by the rather overwhelming score of 17-46. Our next meet with a rather weak Forman team was run without our first four boys in an effort to equalize the competition. Nevertheless, Taft took the first five places to win 15-46. We knew that the final meet with Choate would be the most challenging. The boys worked intensely for this one, but even so the difficulty presented by running the shorter and much flatter Choate course proved a great detriment to the technique of pacing that we had become used to on our long and quite hilly course. The resulting score of 19-39 in favor of Choate was disappointing, but should serve as an excellent stimulation for the resumption of next year's competition. In one way one might say that it is not completely desirable to be too good in its first year. The presence of a certain amount of imperfection can, under some circumstances, sharpen the desire for improvement. With respect to 1960, we have more than a nucleus of returning runners. With one exception, we have the entire team returning. Prospects would appear bright for a successful season.

Admittedly the quality of the league was less than that of previous years, whereas the outside competition was superior, as the record indicates, the Taft team performed well against league opponents but were not impressive in non-league competition, a disappointing feature of the season. Blessed with ive returning lettermen, the team got off to an auspicious start with three consecutive victories over Kingswood, Trinity- Pawling Qthe 1959 championj, and Berkshire. There followed two losses to Choate and Hotchkiss in what could be described as anybody's game down to the final whistle. Continuing its slightly tarnished winning ways, the team added three more to the right side of the ledger at the expense of Kent, Gunnery, and Trinity-Pawling, the latter being an ulcer-producing experience as a result of T-P's recovery from 15 points down to a one-point lead which was dissipated only in the last few seconds. Again Hotchkiss broke the skein of victories in another close one which proved to be the critical game in deciding the league championship. Had Taft taken this heart- breaker , a play-off, similar to that involving the same two schools in hockey, would have been necessary. The Hotchkiss loss was succeeded by a trio of victories over Canterbury, and previous victims Kent and Berkshire. A strong, well-coached Hopkins- Grammar team, primed to avenge last year's humiliating clobbering, accomplished its purpose in a convincing manner. The final two wins were decisive in return engage- ments with Cantebury and Gunnery. Unfortunately, the players unveiled a most mediocre brand of play during the final games in which they failed to offer any competition against two of the strongest teams on the schedule, Loomis and West- minster. The results of these last two games obscured the fact that the 1960 season was a good one, the best since 19 56. Lack of height necessitated the employment of an aggressive, modified zone defense which permitted exploitation of the player's speed. Captain jim Goulard's alterness and aggressive play accounted for numerous interceptions which developed into fast breaks and a score, his leadership and example were outstanding throughout the season. The speed and drive of Denny Schanno and Don Challis ably supported Jim in the front defensive positions while their set-shot artistry contributed greatly to the team's offense. ln addition to scoring well, Bob Hilliard, playing at center, carried the brunt of the rebounding under both boards, although of only average height, Bob performed like a seven-footer. Reinforcing Bob's efforts in the rebounding depart- ment, particularly on defense, was Zack Krieger, also of only average height but compensated by perserverance and great determination, as the season progressed Zack developed as a playmaker. However, the playmaker of the team was admittedly Bob Cabassa, frequently operating out of a flash-pivotg skilled in all departments of the game, Bob was ever aware of the position of the players, both teammates and opponents, and employed his skills effectively. It is regrettable that the nature of the past season was such that the previously mentioned players saw most of the action, the remaining members of the squad, through no fault of their own, seeing but limited service. Although they rate greater recog- nition, lack of space restricts this recognition to identifying these players as Ross Thomas, Nick Norcott, Carl Mcwherter, C. D. Smith, Rod Moorhead, and the very able, efficient, and industrious manager, Charlie Angulo. If the success of a team were determined on the basis of its personnel, cooperation, perseverance, industry, spirit, and the character of the individuals composing that team, then I, as coach, maintain that Taft never fielded a more successful team in any sport. It was a pleasure and a privilege to be associated with the members of the 1960 basketball squad.

This excellent record was achieved partly by the considerable ability of the squad, but particularly by its willing-ness to work, desire to improve, determination to compete, and spirit to fight. Naturally, they played better in some games than in others, but throughout the season there was never a moment in any game when they gave less than their best. To a considerable extent, this marvelous spirit was f . .. L engendered in the team by the fine leadership of Captain Sam Crocker. Sam's fiery, all out type of play and out- standing sportsmanship was an inspiration throughout the season. After several practice games, the regular season opened with a loss to an excellent Princeton freshman team, followed by another loss to the University of Toronto Schools in the Lawrenceville tournament. The team then proceeded to win the tournament consolation trophy by defeating both Choate and Nichols. On returning from vacation, the team extended their winning streak over prep school opponents to 12, before losing to previously defeated Hotchkiss. During this period we lost to a line Williams freshman team, but earned the seasons most spectacular victory by crushing a previously un- defeated Yale Freshman team, 6 to 1. After Taft and Hotchkiss had defeated each other, it was essential that we win the Choate game to qualify for a playoff with Hotchkiss. We achieved this goal by a crushing S to 1 victory before a huge Mother's Day crowd. The playoff with Hotchkiss in Yale's new Engle's Rink was a fine, exciting game, but one with disappointing results. The Taft first line combined the fine playmaking and accurate shooting of Terry Teryazos, the clever stick handling of Dick duPont, and the speed and drive of Captain Sam Crocker. This line scored consistently, and their fiery forechecking was devastating to their opponents. The second line combined the good hockey sense and playmaking of Charlie Scholhamer with the tremendous desire and fire of Sam Apple- gate and Peter Platt. This line developed consistently throughout the season and proved very effective. Sam Applegate, particularly, was ougstanding as a 'lpenalty killer . The third line of Heaton Robertson at center and Divis Webb and Sandy Morrissett saw considerable action throughout the season and acquitted themselves most effectively. The defense was extremely strong this year. All four boys, Bob Dayton, Peter Neimeyer, Tom Macy, and Torrey Orton, saw almost equal action, with Peter demonstrating the greatest offensive ability and Torray being outstanding defensively. Peter Neimeyer's illness during the final Hotchkiss game was a sad blow to the team. Minding the nets for the second year, John Dunham was marvelous throughout the season. His cool, confident attitude helped immeasurably to inspire the whole squad. John Dunham will long to be remembered as one of the outstanding goalies ever to play for Taft. George Robinson, a converted JV wing, demonstrated considerable ability and great potential, particularly while substituting for John during his illness. In general, the line record speiks for itself, but what the record does not show is that the 1960 team was the most responsive, friendly, and cohesive group I've ever had the pleasure of coaching-. It is also interesting to note that, for the first time since artificial ice has enabled us to play a large schedule, a Taft team defeated every scheduled American Secondary School at least once during the season. This year Taft was unusually strong in hockey at all levels. The Lower School was tied twice early in the season, but remained undefeated in 8 games. The JV was untied and undefeated in 11 games, including three against prep school varsities. Thus, all teams acquired a grand total of only S losses in 42 games while scoring 244 goals to their opponents 59. With nine returning Varsity lettermen and unusually strong ,IV and Lower School material, the outlook for next year is definitely bright. 154 RECORD Taft O-Princeton Frosh 3 Taft 4-Loomis 1 Taft S-Hamden High 4 Taft 3 -Hotchkiss 1 Taft 2-Willianus Frosh 4 Taft 4--Kent I Taft 10-Berkshire 0 Taft 6-Wfestminster 2 Taft 7-Kent 3 Taft Taft Taft Taft Taft Taft Taft Taft Taft Z-Hotchkiss 4 fLeague Playoifj LAXVRENCEVILLE TOURNAMENT Taft 0-U. of Toronto Schools 3 Taft 1-Choate 0 Hotchkiss 3 South Kent 0 Choate 2 Amity High 0 Hotchkiss 3 South Kent 0 Choate 1 Hill 1 Alumni 3 Taft 2-Nichols 1 QConsolation Finalj Total Record ............ 17 Wins, 5 Loses League Record ...,.... 8 Wins, 2 Loses League Standing .......,,....... 2nd Place VARSITY HOCKEY Standing: Mr. Surgeul, Murr'1.tf'fl, Wfrbb, Orion, Muay, Rubwlxurl si wb Seated: Robinson, Si'hf1lbun1w', Plulf, Turyozos, Cr'orlu'r frufrhj, Jul'onl, Duylou, All'f77H'J'!'l' Dzulmnz Absent: Applrgule 155 JUNIOR VARSITY HOCKEY Standing: Mr. Clmxv, MrDur1i4'l, Aguvw, GNIIIIIS, 1'ViillIf1lXIll', lVIiulw1, Szmmr, Cfm'!m', lf1lu1l111J.x Scared: Rrrff, l'vlvr'.mr1, Milvbrll, A1A'VX!l0Vl, Pwk, liffznmlx, Rryrlalds LOWER SCHOOL HOCKEY Slnndingm MV.

GAMMA GAMMA 157 WRESTLING REVIEW This year,s wrestling team, in spite of its mediocre record i of 4 wins, 3 losses and a tie, will be remembered for many years to come by its truly miraculous achievements in the Connecticut State Tournament, which Taft entered for the first time this year. Seeded to score 19 points and, thus place eighth in team ranking, Taft played the part of the spoiler by amassing 48 points to place second behind Loomis' 51 points. Such a showing was a wonderful reward not only for the team but also for the entire 50 man squad, all of whom worked so hard and so carefully during the season. Gunnery, we defeated Suffield by winning five pins and losing four pins and a decision. Captain Dick Walsh, Harry Hitch, Tom Wright, john Shively and Bowie Duncan registered our falls, as Tom Hammer was decisioned for his only dual meet loss of the season. Our failure to gain important falls the following week resulted in a 20 to 19 loss to Loomis. The Kent match was closer than the score of 27 to 11 indicates since we dropped two matches by time advantage, another by one point, and a fourth by two points. This left only Walsh, Duncan and Hammer as victors. A well-balanced Kingswood team boasting three returning state champions demolished us the following week, 31 to 13. Dolce avenged his loss of the previous year by beating Walsh, thereby inflicting Dick with his first loss in more than two years. Against Choate the usual combination of Walsh, Hitch, Duncan and Hammer won handily, as Tom Wright lost his second match of the year by only one point. However, the hero was Pat Caviness who disposed of his opponent at 167 6-0 to win his first match of the season and gain a 17 to 17 tie for our fast improving team. The following Wednesday we rolled over The American School for the Deaf, 29 to 10. We approached our peak by trouncing a weak Berkshire team, to set the stage for the Connecticuts the following weekend at Choate. On the basis of their individual records during the season we placed only six out of ten wrestlers in the chosen eight of their respective classes. In the first round Hammer and Wrig-ht, both seeded fifth, avenged earlier losses of the season by defeating their fourth seeded opponents. Walsh seeded second, Duncan and Hitch, both seeded third at 157 and 127 respectively, won as expected, but jack Hill lost C6-Sj in the last two seconds of his match on a reverse and was thereby eliminated from further competition. In the afternoon's semi-final matches Walsh decisioned undefeated Fine of Cheshire 6-2, Hitch upset undefeated Rivera of ASD 4-3, Duncan upset Shepard, his pre- vious conqueror C1-10j and Tom Wright wrestled his match of the year to soundly beat Q5-2j Curtis, the undefeated defending champion at 138, Tom Hammer ran out of en- ergy against first seeded Brennan of Choate and was pinned, but he rallied later to beat second seeded Harsch of Pomfret in an overtime bout to win third place medal at 177. In the evening,s eight minute Hnal bouts Captain Walsh again lost 3-0 to Dolce, who was voted the best wrestler in the tournament and went on to win the New England championships. Hitch again lost to the Kent Captain White Q3-0j at 127, thereby giving us two second places. Tom Wright pinned Merson of Kent at 138 to finish beating, in one day, the only three men who had beaten him during the season and win our first championship. Bowie Duncan wrestled superbly to upset the first seeded Pomfret Captain, Worthington, in a most exciting referee's decision after a two minute scoreless overtime to clinch the 157 pound crown and our second place finish. Captain Dick Walsh deserves particular praise for his outstanding record of 14-1 over the last two years and his truly exemplary leadership at all times. There is no doubt that this team would not have improved as it did had it not been for the invalu- able services of Jacques deLabry, Taft '56, who commuted from Yale four times a Week to assist Mr. Smith. Taft wrestling is now firmly established and the outlook for next year is excellent. Only five men on the entire squad of 50 will graduate, and the J.V. team was undefeated in amassing 172 points in 6 contests. Jim Wright, Jack Carey and Harvey Fleetwood, all undefeated in IV. competition, Varsity wrestlers Clark, Rush, Shively, Wfhiteman, Hammer, and Hill and Co-Captains elect Harry Hitch and Tom Wright will all return next year.

COMPLIMENTS OfA FRIEND Kentucky R O 0 F Pri g Plat 81 Corp. R I C K A ington, K W 0 UWIEI' Since 1930, the Tower has come to be known as a haven from the pressures of our kind firm moulder . This exclusive club is situated high above the rest of the school, a fact which the reader may interpret as he wishes. The peace and quiet of the Tower is interrupted only when some swarms of bettles appear to infest this sanctum sanctorum. Spare time is certainly well spent hy this year's Tower in listening to soft, symphonic strains of harp music blend in harmony with the Blopis five minute alarm and lint-like snores. The Tower passes each term huddled around Wheaton W'heeler, finding out who is the new proud pos- sessor of his ring. The Tower Athletic Association, not to be confused with a lesser organization bearing the same initials, was formed to provide many hours of relaxed pleasure. It has been responsible for a broken back, several smashed light bulbs, a frustrated Jim Rule, and a few unintentional fits of coordination and clear thinking. This year's Tower is, we believe, one of the finest we have ever hadf, It has religiously maintained the Tower tradition of blowing more fuses than any other corridor in the school. This year's club: Craig Carlson Mike O'Connor Jerry Mitchell Bill Pelzer Bob Montague Bob Tierney But what became of the Monk, the Monk? O what became of the Monk ?', Weive sung the Kind Firm Molder And a toast of wine have drunk To the last Great Swashbuckler To that fortuneis soldier, Monk. Could we free you from the cage Of this complex, modern age, And set you 'mist the dinasaurus, fWho,d greet you with sonourus chorus Then with axe or club in hand You would bravely take your stand Should some bird or beastie rash Challenge you, why then: 6'Me bash! Beamish Boy, your memiry stays With the enitre institution, You unsuspecting victim Of spastic evolution. Old Song SHORE LINE TIMES PUBLISHING C0 SAM B.
