Once again the local buil session is enriched with shrewdly contemplated remarks, witch pantomimes, or to-the-point mimicries of sundry Thacherites. Long Dann has come a long way-from a pious, four-mark-a-year smut with a subdued horse called Duke to a mark-scathed veteran with a fiirtatious little Arabian filly named Rasi. He starts each day in a manner which refiects his interests. Dan slowly comes alive to Ella Fitzgerald in stereo, glares blearily at the pictures of his two cars lthe only dual-auto man in the classl. then brightens considerably as he scans the photo of a certain enchanting girl on the opposite wall. This gives him spirit las the ringing of the walker gives him necessity! to poke one toe out from under the covers and finally go to breakfast. Dan is no-ted for his keen sense of humor and affability. These will surely stand him in good stead at Berkeley. EL ARCHIVERO 15 LEO EUGENE ACQUISTAPACE U. oi C. at SANTA BARBARA Oh no, Leo!

There is no more positive proof of the saying that a boy's room is a good indication of his personality than Derek Anderson's abode. As we enter it, we find a cuhicle literally lined with all types of paraphernalia-pictures of sports cars, pictures of girls, a greeting card with a cave man on it, pictures of girls, cat tails swinging from the ceiling, a great glob of radiophonohifidelity, an old sword on the wall, pictures of girls, a bridle pendulating from its peg, tennis rackets in a corner, a few stacks of a'Luckies', on a dresser, an Anderson master- piece in oil flopped against a wall, pictures of girls, and piles of no-longer-sweet smelling letters protruding from the hollow leg of a rhinoceros. After surveying the room, we notice that its owner is not present. We there- fore saunter up to the smoke shack to engage in a hull session with Derek, who is all hut hidden hehind a cloud of twisting vapors. For Derek,s sake we certainly hope that there's a Smoking Cluh at the Colorado School of Mines. EL ARCHIVERO 17 IOHN FRANKLIN BEALL, IR. . POMONA TIME PEOPLE NewPremier .... Stepping out of his Buick '59 near the auditorium of the Thacher School last week, was actor-singer John 1Daddy Cooll Beall, 18, the talented impresario who first hit the headlines three months ago with the publication of his intangible creative poetry. Beall, handsome and intellectual, posed in varying profiles for the assembled press men, and when asked why it was his last performance as Montserrat in the hit play by Broadway writer Lillian Hellman, he replied, 5'Manl That part just kills mein N E W S W E E K Contemporary Authorities Size Up Great Literary Figure of This Century, JOHN BEALL D.

The crowd cheers wildly as an enemy soccer forward approaches Thacher's goal. ,lust as the opponent is about to drive the ball into the net, a large, solid form intercepts him from the side at blinding speed and with powerful grace dribbles swiftly between two oncoming players. In another moment, after feinting his way into the open, the massive fullback sends the leather spheroid catapulting sixty yards down field to a waiting wing. Dave Behnke does not confine his athletic talents to soccer, for in the winter he may be seen on our air-conditioned basketball courts rebounding the ball high off the blackboard or at springtime on the baseball diamond pegging a man out at second with a fast, accurate throw from home plate. Behnk,' works just as hard as he plays. Nightly the lamp burns late as this student's eyes are wearied by reading Milton or physics. The effort shows, for he has one of the highest grade averages in the class. ln all of his many endeavors Bedink', always carries with him good sports- manship and a relaxed sense of humor. His friendly kidding and good nature are merely two of the qualities which make Dave Dave. EL ARCHIVERO 19 THOMAS GRAHAM BELL . UNIVERSITY OF ARIZONA THIS YEARIS AFS STUDENT, THOMASGRA HAMBELL, FROM NOGALES, REMOTE SOUTH AMERICAN VILLAGE We have been very fortunate to secure this year an AFS students from one of the more primitive and desolate areas of southern America. Thomasgra Ham- bell comes to us from the village of Nogales, on the frontier of that foreign stau called by the most recent cartographers Arizona',. Senor Hambell informed this reporter that he could not see why anybody would be cra,aazy', enough to live in the smog of California. Wl1y, he said, using several interesting tribal idioms, it's so grubby-and-a-half here that I canlt believe it! Judging from the inter- view'ee,s sun tan, it would seem that atmospheric pollution did not cut off any of the sunis rays in Nogales. The dark peoplen of this Mexico-Arizonan tribe worship gods of water and sun. Tom Hambell can usually be found bathing in either rays or waves. Upon feeling the need of meditation, he merely submerges himself to the bottom of the ocean and holds communion with the nearest anemone. Many minutes later, while more mortal Thacherites are speculating when, where, and if he will come up, the black-and-brown dripping head will surface in the most unlikely spot. Tinker,', to use the tribal familiar name, is admired and liked by everyone at Thacher. He has gracefully adopted the horses, bits and spurs, pianos and paintbrushes of Westrern civilization. He is accomplished in running and acting. This most robust of artists certainly lives up to the highest AFS QA Fine Studentl standards, and we, his class and friends, are proud to know him. He hath a heart as sound as a bell. -Much Ado About Nothing 1959-1950: Masquers, Radio Shack, Intra- mural Soccer, Fourth Team Soccer.

As the Thacher School files with supreme dignity into the Outdoor Chapel, a tall figure with curly blonde hair sits intently sight-reading and pumping at the ltlfl-pipe grand organ. As the last solemn Arnett is still reverloerating, a faint cry of lioldwa-a-a-a-anl', emanates from the rear of the assembled flock. The organist looks up from his music to flash the famous l3oouuldie smileii and pos- silily responds with a completely inaudihle 'LYe-e-e-e-es?,' But Baldy does not confine himself to hymns. Thacheris most accomplished pianist can lie heard almost any day in the music hox plucking rag-time from the ivories. The adept fingers of the virtuoso,s hand find other uses, too. They have pro- duced the quick. sharp racket of a typewriter as often as the soothing tones of a sonata. By hard work ,lon consistently adds two extra Clays to his vacations. More than once in lioom l have all the history students simultaneously swiveled their astonished heads around to find Baldwin delivering a two-minute discourse on an involved question which had drawn a complete blank from everybody else. jon will also he rememliered as the guided missile of the soccer team.

U. oi C. at SANTA BARBARA Entering Bob Boydis attractively decorated room you will probably find your- self greeted with a broad grin from an equally broad figure sitting at the writing table. Upon your arrival, he will put away his well-used letter writing equipment, gaze pensively for a split second at the large Schlitz,, sign on the wall, and then turn and gesticulate towards his bed. lf you can find a few square inches between the Sports lllustratedfs, Trueis, and Playboys, accept his offer and make your- self comfortable. After he has turned down the overloud phonograph in the cor- ner and settled down into the comfort of his annchair, you will probably be privi- leged to hear yet another excerpt from the many tales he has to tell of San Francisco. Bob is a very relaxed characterg he never seems to get frustrated about theme writing, baseball pitching, soccer-ball punting or riding Kory. Most of us attribute this remarkable lack of nervous tension to the regular appointments he keeps between classes with the 'Marlboro Men' at the renowned little tin-thatched shack. Yes, Bob certainly enjoys the pleasures of life. We are certain that it was not solely for philosophical discussions that he helped form the Epicurean Club. We bet that he will find higher education still more broadening. .

It was the first inning of the Hrst game in the 1957 season. The opposing pitcher sneered down upon the 5' 4- , tan-colored, blonde-haired Middle Schooler. When that easily thrown baseball left Tony Bryan's bat, the U. S. launched the first earth satellite. a fact which was recorded only by the 1-0 scoreboard. Simply to extol nMr. CARE accomplishments as wing in soccer or executor of perfect parallel Christies on the slopes of Mammoth Mountain would be to miss ilu- point that this Sclmol Prefect is basically an artist.

'c0h, nothingf, is the usual answer, but after the routine amount of coaxing, we find that John has hidden two or three large trophies and eight or nine ribbons under his coat. John and his steed Snowball have gained the reputation of being consistent point-getters in both School and outside horse shows. John Workday Trailbuilder Case is also the President of the Pack and Saddle Club, but his fame is not one-sided, for Snowball's', feats on the soccer and baseball fields are also well-known, and his masterpieces in painting and writing for the Notes must not pass by uncelebrated. In short, where there is activity, you will find Case. The fact that ,Iohn's mare, Snowball, is completely brown, gives us a good clue to his character. He is, first and foremost, an individualist and has many staunch supporters because of it. John always has the courage, ingenuity, and patience to stand by his decisions, ideas, and desires Whether he is advising a lowly smut, convincing Mr. Chase that the administration's point of View is wrong, or debating, a pipe clamped firmly in the corner of his mouth, with 112 Californians about the virtues of Arizona. You can be sure that he will either win, which is most likely, or die with his boots on.

Racing to George's section to tell him to shut up, one is overwhelmed by the quantity of shoes, pants, shirts, and socks which drape the bureau, floor, and desk in possibly the messiest stall of the Valley. Gazing around the room, one sees the face of Mrs. Elizabeth Duncan occupying the place of honor on the wall next to the picture of the What, Me Worry?'7 kid. By this time the harmonica playing has stopped, and the feverish voice of Sister Pool is spouting from the radio. George himself is typing a N Utes editorial and smoking his pipe.

OJAI PLANET-FREE PRESS JUNE 9, 1959-Tc O B I T U A R Y Pericles Cates Passes Away On June 2 the passing away of our dear friend occasioned extensive mourn- ing throughout the surrounding countryside, particularly in the Lower School. Vital Statistics: Mr. Gates was of medium build and height, in excellent health and in full possession of all his strong appendages. He was in complete control of all his faculties, we think. Remembrances: He played soccer viciously. This may have been one of the causes leading to . . . He was usually spotting a small, woolen skull cap. This is significant because it is one example of many Eastern idiosyncrasies. He sacrificed himself to the school and worked unhealthily hard. He could be seen at the gymk- hana field upon his benevolent Steed or at Mammoth Mountain contemplating suicidal ski runs. Coronefs Report: 4'The poor.boy was obviously demented. He kept talking about the 'Big City' and certain members of the opposite sex. This was not a monomania, but was an obviously unhealthy sign. My colleague N.K.C. is the mortician in chargef, P.

This diet sparked him to other sports. In soccer, opposing players dared not approach the goal.

After this he might have hurried over to the music box to practice on the clarinet, or have paid his weekly visit to see Caruso. Although you might look into his dark eyes and see nothing but truth and innocence, hidden directly behind them is a constantly scheming mind which may he planning the works of a campus distillery or finding a semi-legitimate excuse for getting out of gymkhana practice.

Actually Steve has made more than noise here at C de Pg he has left his mark on the soccer field, the gymkhana course, the baseball diamond, and the dance floor. His lack of practice before the Yale-Thacher was more than overbalanced by the presence of a certain blonde in the audience as Ace rode Mitzi to place in his only event, the sack race. Even Mr. Chase benevolently complimented his grace on the dance floor. Although Steve has his faults, the entire class joins together to make his life as easy as possible. For example, we always are sure to warn him when his sensitive skin is exposed to harsh, burning light, such as that from the moon. Before Steve gets East, we'll warn all the blondes in the area that when they hear our living fog-horn, they had better run.

After propping the broken leg back into place with a nail, a piece of wood and a lot of ingenuity, Wes wipes the perspiration from his high brow so that he won't sweat too much over the Spanish book he has just picked off his immaculate shelf. Wes has probably just come in from a set or two with the other top men on the tennis ladder-or maybe from a session out on the New Field with the Soccer Team. Ahal Now I realize that heis been playing tennis, for I see he is trying to give himself ptomaine poisoning by drinking half a reservoir-full of water out of an empty tennis-ball can.

JOURNAL This date, June 9, 1963, has been one of grave significance and portent to the scholastic history of Weslyan College. Today Dr. Christopher Rich was grad- uated with unpreoedented honors and unanimous acclaim. He received his B.A. in 1961, after two years of graduate work, and was awarded surnma cum laude honors. Plunging doggedly back into the lvy halls, years of brilliant research were culminated yesterday in a Ph.D. in Tickology. First-hand experience for his thesis, on The Sex Life of the Mule Tick,', was obtained by Dr. Rich in the days when he spent many summers packing mules and observing ticks in the High Sierras and many winters of intensive study and informal seminar in other aspects of his subject at the Thacher School in Ojai, California. ln his youth, Dr. Rich was a fiery player of soccer and baseball, and his commanding stature will attest to this even now. Accompanied by his beautiful wife, the new Doctor seemed confused by the fiashbulbs and reporters, but the good wife offered revealing comments about his early life: He was always pop- ular in school and active in student government. The other boys said the 'Crich' was an excellent conversationalist, prone to using vivid descriptive adjectives. He was usually involved with some girl-l had a terrible time with him.

He plays chess and poker with equal shrewdness. Dick can be found daily on the tennis court trying to hit the fuzzy little sphereoid faster than Pancho. This effort usually culminates in destruction of both the net and the unfortunate person on the other side. He spends the rest of his time reading and abstractly discussing politics, philosophy, or philogyny with the other members of the famous smoking circle. Now Dick's favorite subject is honoris history, but we really think he has a higher destiny. He loves Elvis Presley and someday may himself become another strummer.

As I walk down the street, I see a bevy of young women lavishing attention upon a young man who seems to be enjoying it. Since the man looks slightly familiar, I ask him his name. Lynn White, he replies, now I remember from Thacher days Linius T. Albus! Bewildered, I wonder how on earth Linius could have changed so. I remember that at school he was his class's confirmed bachelor. Why, he didn't even like to talk about girls! I begin to recollect other things about Lynn when I knew him at Thatcher. I remember his smile which always welcomed me into his room. There he would be at his desk with reams of paper scattered over it. More often than not, these papers wouldn't be for any of his classes. They might be drafts of proposed honor code amendments, reports to the SBVISC, plans for a new Pack and Saddle project, or a Notes or an Archivero article that needed editing. Despite all this outside work, however, Linius managed to achieve distinction in two college-level courses. I recall that he was his class's hardest worker. Suddenly I'm called back to the present. Because Lynn seems to be enjoying his newly-found pastime so much, I decide to continue down the street. With the swiftest wings of speed . . . EL ARCHIVERO 41 HARRY BISSELL WYETH . STANFORD SPORTALK ....... .................,...,.........,.,. by Lew Norton Heck yes! Thatis right-thereis a brand-new track sensation this season. Sure, he's only 17 but heis running fantastic low and high hurdles. The West Coast was stunned yesterday, when Sandy Wyeth left his nearest competitor' in the blocks, and sparked a new HH record at the Coliseum Relays. Of all his many competitors, he admires Herb Elliot the most. His training program, like the Australian's, is strenuous. Last summer it was a bicycle trip through Europe, stopping for acclaim in the larger cities. Weire not sure what he did in his spare time, but he came back loaded with German beer coasters and a 'LNO Parkingi' sign. Terrific training program! We give as one major reason for Wyethis success, his organization. Self- discipline helps immensely in his training. Every afternoon, with all his studies finished, the Bissell Missile is to be found on the track spiking the cinders and leaping over hurdles. Bud Wynter was just saying to me the other day, Why Lew, if we could only get that Sandy boy up here at the Quad, we'd take the Inter-Collegiates easy-no seat. AND HERES THE SCOOP!

Civic Center during the Tennis Tournament. w 1 EL ARCHIVERO S5 HORSES AND CAMPING CAMPING got off to a quick start this year due to a plentiful supply of water in the creeks. The first two intrepid parties, one a Middle School group and the other of Lower Uppers, left for the Sespe on September 27th. The Middle Schoolers, who arrived at the CCC Camp first, began to search for their trucked-in supplies, and were still at it when the Lower Uppers rode in an hour later. One of them walked over to the Ranger's cabin and found a note by his front door, telling the location of the missing equipment. Three weeks later the first of the New Boys' Trips pushed through to the Sespe. The ample water supply enabled the Pack and Saddle Club to divide the new boys into eight independent groups consisting of a teacher, two old boys, and four or Hve new ones. This way the new boys learned more about camping. Four of the groups on this weekend were quite successful, but the fifth found it somewhat difficult to eat without plates or frying pans! The next weekend a threat of rain stopped all but a group of volunteers who were to do brush work at Pattonis. Later in the Fall the first Smut trip, at Patton's, was snowed upon. Three Seniors also trucked to the CCC to look for Indian artifacts with renowned archaeologists Ignon and May. Right after Christmas Vacation some Lower Uppers ranged from Mount Able to Point Conception in the Amby with Mr. May. 56 EL ARCHIVERO On March 21st the Pack and Saddle rode to Pattonis Cabin for baked Alaska and initiationsg while the Bit and Spur went to Middle Lion Camp. At the same time some vacationing Basketball players visited Spruce Fallsg and Lower Schoolers, Dynamite. This year there were two Easter trips. One, composed of Rose, Eggers, Bonebakker, Work, and Cooley, went into back country seldom traversed by Thacher campers. They rode west to Mono and then pushed through brush over trailless hills to Madulce Guard Station on Big Pine Mountain. From there they dropped down across the Cuyama Valley climbed Mount Able to Mill Potrero. In their attempt to cross Sawmill Mountain to Plush's on a trail a Ranger had recommended, they were stopped when it disappeared. Spending an extra day, they detoured through Cuddy Valley, then rode to Willet's for baths in the hot springs. The other Easter trip rode the Carry-All, driven by Mr. Shagam, on an eventful expedition to Mexico. Pursued by Montezuma, they roared through Mazatlan and Guadalajara to Mexico City, where they scaled the temples of Teotihuacan. The party returned to School at the end of vacation well trained in the arts of cocoanut-eating, restaurant-cuisining, and milk-avoid- ing. The Lower-Middle School Extra Day Trip was, compared to those of years past, very successful. Boys swam in Sespe pools and Santa Paula Canyon creeks, while other more energetic parties toured the Mutau. The two trips attempting Chorro Grande Loop encountered a familiar difficulty-no trails -this time on Reyes Peak. One trip detoured via Ozena and the other turned back. The Upper School Extra Day Trip found the Upper Uppers sailing to Santa Cruz Island under benevolent skies. The courageous swam in sub- zero surfg while others played volleyball, fished, or hiked to the ranch head- quarters. On the second day strong winds came up, and a skiff and an air mattress sailed out at high tide .for Honolulu, never to be seen again. The cruise back over heavy swells and under cover of haze was uneventful but seemed to disturb the gastric balance of several stomachs. At the same time Lower Upper Parties loafed in the Sespe and rodle to the Mutaug while the A campers toured Little Mutau and Alder Creek. A final party of Gymkhana enthusiasts traveled to Fillmore. During the next two weekends seven more trips were taken into the Sespe as boys had their last chance for camping. This spring a Horseman's Classification Program was instituted. Its pro- visions, after being drafted by a committee of fifteen boys who represented all aspects of the horse program, were finally adopted by the Student Council. The program divides all horse-boys into four groups: Green horns, comprised EL ARCHIVERO 57 of new boys, Riders, those with an average horse-knowledge, Horsemen, who demonstrate proficiency in riding and training, and Top Horsemen, the few boys in the School who have demonstrated outstanding knowledge of horses as well as good judgment in handling them. Boys who were classified I-Iorsemann this spring were: Acquistapace, L., Andrews, Bonebakker, Boyd, W., Case, J., Du Bois, Eggers, Lieurance, Myers, Rose, Van Horne, Walden, R., Walden, T.

Good fall weather allowed the Club to split its charges into eight parties and send them out on two successive weekends. This division made the trip far more camp-like than had been possible in the mob exodus of previous years. The annual Treasure Hunt to encourage trail riding sent many members of the School into the hills searching for tongue depressors. Ignon, Kristofferson, and Ward won the three pieces of horse equipment which were prizes. On March 21 Callander, Kulli, Stewart, Smith and Work were initiated into the Pack and Saddle in a ceremony at Patton's Cabin. The chef-d'oeuvre of the expedition was the first-known camp-made Baked Alaska, produced by Dave Williams and Lloyd DuBois. During the course of the year, the Club had devoted much time to trail building, maintenance, and measurement. The new William S. McCaskey Trail was constructed between the Rhodes-Metcalf and the Grech. Members of the PTS did extensive brush and mattock work on the Phelps, Twin Peaks, Bird Baths, Marshall, Huntington, Rhodes-Metcalf, and Hoyt-Isaacson Trails. Bonebakker obtained a Forest Service od'ometer and measured many trails. At the gymkhana banquet Porter received the Pack and Saddle Cup as High-Point Lower Schooler, and at the Spanish Banquet, the Cup for the best horseman in the Lower School was awarded to David Van Horne. Chris Rose and Henry Eggers replace John Case and Lynn White as President and Secretary-Treasurer. BIT AND SPUR O begin club activities this Fall, the Bit and Spur organized a new boy's picnic at Sarazotti Park. After the steak dinner the boys rode back to school in the moonlight along Shelf Road. The next club project was to put water back into the Pines' water trough. Led by President Bell, a few members horsebackedf to the Pines with tools and spare fittings and managed to clear out the clogged piping system, making it possible to refill the trough. During the winter term the Bit and Spur turned out to whitewash the outdoor ring and renovate the Kahle Trail in preparation for the Trail Horse Class in the Yale-Thacher Gymkhana. Work also has been started recently on the job of measuring the trails around the school more accurately in a concerted effort with the Pack and Saddle to revise the mileage chart. The initiation ceremonies climaxed the year's activities when the entire club pushed over the ridge to Middle Lion Canyon Camp for a camping EL ARCHIVERO 61 trip. In the late evening Bailey, Barnes, Baum, Dole, Ferrer, Kristofferson, Parker, T. Walden, and Pinkham became members after the appropriate rit- uals. These were administered by Mr. Lavender fChief Initiatorj and Messers. Lamb and Whitehead. Richard Walden was elected next year's President, and Bill Boyd was chosen Secretary-Treasurer. EPICUREAN SOCIETY qANDER the guidance of Messers. Ignon, Lavender, Ehrhardt and Head- master Chase, the Epicurean Society was born into the Thacher School and organized into a unique club which devotes itself to the enjoyment and appreciation of the arts through informal discussion. The founding fathers decided that the sole qualification for member- ship would be the contribution by each candidate of a masterpiece in any one of the three fields-art, music, or literature. The result of this idea proved very fruitful, for the Society has been presented with performances on the piano and the clarinet by Bolduan and Henze, and imaginative interpretation of a negro spiritual from John Beall, an essay on religion by Rob Gallaway, and a fantastic poem composed by Mrs. Thacher. Pantings and sculptures were presented by L. Acquista- pace, Anderson, Bell, R. Boyd, J. Case, Pleasants, Zellerbach, H. Chickering, Eggers, and Holmes. lVIrs. Morse, one of the most recent members, created a molded gastro- nomic delicacy in ice cream which quickly satisfied the connoisseurs of cuisine. Her membership was granted on the spot. The Society does not elect a permanent President, but rotates the office among the Senior members each month. The Head Epicurean maintains order during the discussions in the Alumni Room or in Mr. Ignon's studio. These glorified bull sessions provoke thought and often trigger philosophical arguments. No formal pattern is followed in the conversations, and ideas are brought up and expressed as they come to mind. Among the guests who have attended and enriched the discussions are Mr. Huyler, Mr. MacDougall, Mr. Chesley, and Mr. Vosburg. Mr. De Jesu, the traveling scientist, provided stimulating topics for all and a lively debate for Mr. Ignon. The other speaker, Dr. Lynn White, gave the fascinated members an insight into medieval history. An organized outlet for creative ideas and discussion of digering morals and philosophies has long been lacking at the Thacher School. The Epicurean Society has been established this year to fill that need. 62 EL ARCHIVERO THE RADIO CLUB S those faculty members who have tried to tune in Channel Two at strategic moments will readily attest, Thacher, for the first time, is the possessor of an Amateur Radio Station, WA6ESM. Organized by Mr. Ches- ley fW6LLKj and led by President Behnke fK6MVPj with Secretary-Trea- surer Freeman Ford fWA6DFFj, the Radio Club has taken over the old mechanical drawing room as a project lab, and its transmitter is located in the Radio Shack on Beetleville. Any hour of the day or night members may be found hunched over equipment in the shack. Despite the somewhat haphazard array of antennas and the even more outlandish display of equipment, the club has been able to make some very interesting contacts. The most spectacular of these was the successful completion of a schedule with an amateur in Palmerston North, New Zealand, which enabled Russell Callender to talk with his parents for over an hour. Similar arrangements have been made for other boys to Minne- sota, New York, and Hawaii. It is hoped that next year the club will gain more licensed hams and will be able to operate even more extensively. ON FRIENDSHIP By Kahlil Gibran And a youth said, Speak to us of Friendship. And he answered, saying: Your friend is your needs answered. He is your field which you sow with love and reap with thanksgiving. And he is your board and your fireside. For you come to him with your hunger, and you seek him for peace. When your friend speaks his mind you fear not the nay in your own mind, nor do you withhold the Hay . And when he is silent your heart ceases not to listen to his heart. For without words, in friendship, all thoughts, all desires, all expectations are born and shared, with joy that is unacclaimed. When you part from your friend, you grieve notg For that which you love most in him may be clearer in his absence, as the moun- tain to the climber is clearer from the plain. And let there be no purpose in friendship save the deepening of the spirit. For love that seeks aught but the disclosure of its own mystery is not love but a net cast forth: and only the unprofitable is caught, And let your best be for your friend. If he must know the ebb of your tide, let him know its flood also. For what is your friend that you should seek him with hours to kill? Seek him always with hours to live. For it is his to fill your need, but not your emptiness. And in the sweetness of friendship let there he laughter, and sharing of pleasures. For in the dew of little things the heart finds its morning and is refreshed. f 5 THE GLEE CLUB Ifrzrlf Row: Lic-urancv. Myers. Lelppo, D. Williams, Gordon, JPIISPI1. L, Marstvn.

We have all heard many differing types of music, from the Ventura String Ensemble to the more modern strains issuing from the vocal cords of Marsten and Beall. The Glee Club, led by tenor John Beall, sang a group of modern carols in a concert before Christmas Vacation, performed as a choir for the Presby- terian Church in Ojai, and furnished the year with a short serenade at the Spanish Banquet ceremonies. The addition of the auditorium provided the opportunity for many fine performances including a piano recital by Tom Whelan QCdeP '50j. Var- ious instrumental ensembles with Henze on the clarinet, Bonner on the cello, Stuart playing the French horn, and Bryan and Rhodes lipping the oboe and flute respectively entertained both school and public audiences. Complet- ing this talented group of instrumentalists was the piano trio of Tom Bell, john Bolduan, and john Heard. Again, this year, music has lent many hours of enjoyment both to those who have provided it and to those who have been fortunate enough to listen to it. ART SELDOM in the past has the Art Department been the scene of such activity and interest. Hardly a Saturday or Sunday went by, that a.rt students were not up in the studio working on their own. Sculpture, water colors, etchings, bronze casting, oils, and charcoal drawings were only a few of the mediums used by Thacher artists. A colossal wood sculpture by Tinker Bell, and Leo Acquistapace's work in oils highlighted the efforts of the department. Mr. Ignon approached the method of teaching Art Appreciation from a new angle this year. Each student was encouraged to pursue a different subject and then asked to give his evaluation of it in a speech before the whole class, after which all the members could discuss the merits of his presentation. In the Lower School Art classes, Mr. Ignon taught the rudiments of technique and briefly traced the history of Art. The Art Board-consisting of Bell, Acqustapace, J. Case, and White- has arranged several exhibitions in the school museum including shows by two outside arists. Mrs. Lutman's abstract oil paintings proved to be of great interest to many students as did the fine collection of plates which showed the various methods of printing. With the new board members-H. Chickering fPresidentj , Lloyd Du- bois, John Williams, and Tom Walden-stimulating the department next year, the high enthusiasm and interest in art will certainly not wane.

This year Mr. McDougall and the Masquers Board QPresident Ford, Henze, Bell, Lewis, and Clydej chose Monlserraf, an adaptaton by Lillian Hellman of a French play by Emmanuel Robles, so that the stage facilities in the new auditorium might be used to full advantage. Actors in the production were Beall as the unfortunate Captain Mont- serrat, Callander as the cruel Colonel Izquierdog Henze, Taylor, and Escher as other officers in the Spanish Army, White as the hypocritical priest, and Ford, Bell, Pleasants, Farquhar, S. Case, and Smith as six innocent Venezuelan peasants who were shot before a firing squad toward the end of the play. In addition, the monks fBaum and Workj and the soldiers Qweitzel and Heardj added much to the realism of the drama. Stage Manager Lewis and Technical Cordinator Hodgson, aided by Abbot, Kristofferson, Lambert, Kibbee, and Kulli, built all the impressive scenery, which was designed and painted by M. Ignon and a group of artis- tic assistants. Gardner, Coleman, and Helmholz spent many hours preparing the sound-effects with the help of a mob of boys, two horses, two drummers, the members of the Gun Board, and Miss Buell's talented screaming. The 66 EL ARCHIVERO prompter, DuBois, gave courage to the acting cast, who were further illum- inated with spot-lights ably manipulated by Clyde. Holmes carved a cruci- fix and J. Case supplied properties. Mmes. M. Dougall, Beck, Buell, Chesley, Griggs, Halsey, Morse, Thacher, and Whitehead saw that the costumes and make-up were perfect. The musical arrangements composed by Mr. Ehrhardt for the Orchestra fRhodes, Henze, Bryan, Storke, Stewart, Bonner, Bailey, and Mr. Shagamj and the off-stage piano-playing by His Excellency Bolduan helped to create the over-all dramatic effect. However the bulk of the credit for the success of Montserrat, which was finally presented on May 29 and June 6, must again be given to the seem- ingly tireless and extremely talented Director and Producer, Mr. Donald Norman McDougall. li 77 Sfllllllilluf l'lc-asalllfe.

S O C C E R FIRST TEAM SOCCER IS year Captain Perry Gates and Mr. Miller led the varsity soccer squad to a successful 4-2 won-lost record for the season. Gates booted in 12 of the 30 points which the team scored in all its games, while Thacher's de- fense let only 12 balls enter the goal. On October 8 Thacher got off to a strong start by defeating Midland 5-2. George Helmholz sparked the team with two goals, which he headed between the posts on corner kicks from Bryan and Petit. Forwards Gates and Rich contributed one and two, respectively, to cancel the threat of the two goals which Midland scored during the third quarter. The next weekend the varsity traveled to Caltech to Win an easy 12-0 victory. Captain Gates led with five points, while goalie John Lewis had an easy job, touching the ball only six times in the entire game. On the following Saturday the team faced its toughest competition of the season when it met U.C.L.A. at Westwood. The team this time got off to 72 EL ARCHIVERO a slow start, and the experienced collegiate players took advantage of the fact by scoring three goals in the first quarter. Gates retaliated with one and Rich with two, but the fast U.C.L.A. forwards matched them with three more, making the final score 6-3. After the game Thacher was the guest of its opponents at the U.C.L.A.-Stanford football game at the Coli- seum, and on the way back to school the group stopped at Tip's for an enormous dinner. On November lst the entire Cate School arrived at Thacher to see its varsity defeat a favored Thacher squad. With Gates and Rich each scoring one, the home team dominated the first half of the game completely, and many more attempted shots were stopped by the agile Blue goalie. The third quarter found the situation reversed, and the Cate team racked up 3 points before they could be halted. Neither side could score again, and the game ended a victory for Cate, 3-2. The weekend of the Fall Dance found the Green Zebras facing Webb. With the added encouragement of the girls, the team started fast. Rich, Helmholz, and Gates each tallied one goal during the first period. When Rich broke his leg, the Captain moved to center-forward position and slammed three more shots past the Webb goal guard before the gun went off. The Hnal game of the season Was against Midland. On the results of this match depended the winner of the coveted Lowery Cup. The Varsity also hoped to maintain the clean sweep which the three lower teams had thus far managed to attain for Thacher that day. Petit and Nicolaus kicked through one apiece in the first half. Although the Midland forwards did score once in the third quarter, the remainder of the game was a stand-off. The final whistle blew, and the field immediately became a mass of Thacher rooters who swarmed around the team and carried Captain Gates and Coach Miller from the field to receive the Lowery Cup and complete the first clean sweep for either school in many years. This was the first time that Thacher had won the Cup. At the banquet Wendel Nicolaus was elected to captain next year's team. After the season was over, the various soccer coaches chose Tony Bryan and Perry Gates as members of the All-League Team. Chris Rich and Dave Behnke received honorable mention. This year's squad consisted of: Forwards: Bryan, Petit, Gates, Helm- holz, Nicolaus, Labbe, D. Williams, Halfbacks: Pleasants, Heard, Bolduan, and Coleman, Fullbacks: Myrin and Behnke, Goal Guard: J. Lewis. SECOND SOCCER TEAM Coached by Mr. Thacher and led by Co-captains Tom Bell and Harry Wyeth, the second soccer team compiled a 2-win, 3-loss record. The initial game was played at Thacher against Midland on October ll. The visiting team was fast and showed superior ball control, which paid off EL ARCHIVERO 73 by goals in the second and third' quarters. John Case scored for Thacher in the third period, but Midland retained its 2-1 lead until the final whistle. The next week saw a 2-0 defeat at the hands of Cate in Carpinteria. The Blue team, playing on their grass field, tallied in the Hrst quarter and soon after the half, keeping Thacher on the defensive for most of the game. The first Thacher win was here over Laguna Blanca on October 27. The home team dominated the play throughout most of the contest. Derek Anderson scored on a corner kick by Dick Rhodes in the second period. Both teams made many attempts at the goal, but the score was still 1-C at the end. In a home game Thacher dropped a return engagement with Cate, 2-0, when the men from the Mesa rallied to score two quick goals in the third quarter. The season's last game was at Midland. The first half, played in a hail- storm, was cold and slow. Midland scored in the first quarter, but Hugh Gordon tallied for Thacher during a welcome clear spell in the second. The 1-1 deadlock was not broken, so two five-minute overtimes were played. Midland made a goal in the first period, but in the last minutes Freeman Ford and Dick Rhodes kicked two goals to clinch a 3-2 Thacher victory. The 1958 lineup was: Forwards: Rhodes, D. Williams, Gordon, Bell, An- derson, Case, Truog, Ford, Halfbacks: W. Boyd, R. Boyd, Wyeth, N. Chick- ering, Eggers, Fullbacks: Spaulding, Jordan, Oliver-Smith, Goal Guard: J Acquistapace. THIRD SOCCER TEAM This year the third team was led by its returning coach, Mr. White- head, and Captain Dick Walden to a 3-win, 1-tie, 1-loss record. Unfortu- nately the first game, played against Midland, was the one loss. A game with Laguna Blanca followed in which the forward line met little resistance, and the team came out with a 6-1 victory. The third game saw Cate and Thacher battle to a 2-2 tie. Two weeks later, in a return match, Thacher overcame a 0-1 deficit to beat the Blue 3-2. In its final game the third team produced a decisive 4-1 victory over Midland. The team lined up as follows: Forwards: Andrews, Corbett, Dole, Myers, Cooley, Halfbacks: DuBois, R. Walden, Jensen, Fullbacks: Kend- ricks, Luppeng Goal Guard: Bailey, Subs: Escher, Kent, Weitzel, Williams, Zellerbach, Abbott, and Whitney. FOURTH TEAM SOCCER With Mr. Shagam as coach and Bob Gardner as captain, the fourth team had a season record of 2 wins, 3 losses, and 1 tie. The first game was a tie with Midland, 2-2. This was followed by a 4-2 setback at the hands of the 74 EL ARCHIVERO Ojai Valley School. In the thirdf game the squad met victory in a close de- cision over Cate. The next two games, however, portrayed Thacher in a losing role as the team dropped games to OVS, 3-0, and to Cate, 2-0. In the iinal encounter the fourth team downed Midland with a score of two goals to one. Fourth team line-up: Forwards: Parker, Bonner, Porter, R. Greene, Wfood, Gardner, Halfbacksg Kulli, H.

GYMKHANA HE 1958-1959 Gymkhana Season opened with the Santa Paula and Fillmore Horse Shows in September. Bill Boyd, Lloyd DuBois, Dick Walden, John Lewis, John Heard and Harry Andrews attended these two contests from Thacher, and each boy placed in at least one event. The main attraction of the pre-intramural season, however, was the California State H0rsemen's Association Championship Show in Paso Robles on October 2-5. Thacher's Relay and Ring Spearing Teams, both of which were composed of Freeman Ford, John Case, John Heard, John Lewis, Dick Walden, and Mr. Huyler, received first place honors, thus bringing back to School two State Championships. Leo Acquistapace, the final member of the Thacher team, won the Reserve State Championship in the Western Horsemastership division. Mr. Huyler, Heard, and Lewis also took other ribbons individually. Again in the same month Thacher horsemen participated in the Ven- tura Saddle Club Horse Show, where Bill Boyd placed first in three events and second in another. At the beginning of the Winter Term, a few changes were made in the regulations for the School's intramural gymkhanas. The Bending and Fig- ure-8 races are now scheduled simultaneously, and the traditional six-abreast race has been abandonedg now only one boy may be performing either of 76 EL ARCHIVERO these events at a time. Similar revisions in the rules for the Stake, Sack, and Orange races made them run more efficiently. At School, gymkhana season got under way with the Hrst match be- tween the two intramural teams. The Orange Team, captained by Freeman Ford, charged off to a strong lead early in the season, andl although there were several close contests in which Gymkhana Captain Michael Pleasant's Green Team made a good showing, the Orange Squad emerged on top at the season's end with 415 points to the Green Team's 273. Bill Boyd on Reynita and Dick Walden on Rocket were tied in a deadlock race for high point man with 65 points apiece. Close behind the two top men came Ford who compiled 63 points on his white steed, Spider. John Heard, the number four man on the gymkhana ladder, raced Colorado for the season's fastest time in the Bending Race in 10.35 seconds and won the Saddling Race with a time of 37.9. The best performance in the Orange Race was completed by Bob Gallaway in only 40:8 seconds on Star, who is being retired this year after many faithful seasons. Skip Porter atop Keela pounded out the best Tilting time this year in 19.4 seconds with a score of 9 out of 9 rings. Bill Boyd and Reynita racked up three best times in the Stake, Sack, and Figure 8 races in 13.6, 13.35, and 11.9 seconds, respectively. David Van Horne tied Bill Boyd's Stake Race time of 13.6 and placed first almost consistently in the Trail Horse Class. Redbones and Topo helped carry Reserve State Champion Leo Acquistapace to victory in the Seat and Hands Class, which he won three times during our School shows. , The climax of the season came on March 7, the date of the Eleventh Annual Thacher Gymkhana. The 125 outside entrants, several of whom were themselves State Champions, afforded Thacher boys some stiff but welcome competition. The guests dominated the morning events except for the two blues taken by Van Horne in the Trail Horse and Seat and Hands classes. In the afternoon Thacher pulled ahead by winning our specialty events. Free- man Ford' soon forged to a lead with 16 points, walking off with the Jed- licka High-Point-Man Trophy at the end of the day. In order to qualify for the 1959 State Championships, several Thacher horsemen entered the Region Nine Horse Show, the Fillmore Spring Show, and the Ojai Trails Association Spring Show. These Thacherites will com- pete for the Championships next October: Bending Race-DuBois, Mr. Huyler. Figure-8 Race-W. Boyd, Mr. Huyler. Quadrangle Stake Race-W. Boyd, Mr. Huyler, Du Bois. Keyhole Race-Mr. Huyler, Du Bois. Tilting-Porter, Mr. Huyler, Mr. Kahle. Trail Horse Class-Van Horne, Mr. Huyler. Pleasure Horse Class-Van Horne, Myers. Junior Equitation-Van Horne. EL ARCHIVERO 77 Two-Man Relay Race-DuBois and Myers, Messrs. Huyler and johnson. The Lower School Gymkhana Team, captained by David Van Horne, suffered two defeats at the hands of the experienced Ojai Valley School en- thusiasts this year. Despite its losses, the Team competed well, and the pros- pects for future gymkhana lettermen are high. After the annual banquet at the Coniferous Bosque the George Beckwith Trophy was awarded to the winning Orange Team. The Bissell High-Point Trophy went to Bill Boyd and Dick Walden for their identical 65 points. David Van Horne was given the Bit and Spur High-Point New Boy Plaque for his 36 points, and Skip Porter received the Pack and Saddle High-Point Lower School Award. John Heard, Rob Gallaway, and Freeman Ford Won the Packing Cup for taking four blue ribbons and setting the season's best time-46 seconds flat. Tom Walden received the Improvement Cinch, and the Farquhar Saddling Belt was won by Joe Parker. After the closing ceremonies this year's high-point men, Bill Boyd and Dick Walden, both of the Orange Team, were elected Co-coptains of next year's Gymkhana Team, while the Green Team chose Lloyd DuBois as its Captain.

Un- fortunately, the team was able to take only one game out of six in League play, tying for last place in the three valleys. Windy Nicolaus was high man scorewise with 98 points and! an 8.9 average per game. The cagers fell to Cate, SS-32, on December 6 as Tony Schilling's 22 first quarter points gave the Blue a fast start. December 11 saw Thacher squeeze by San Marcos, 37-34, in Santa Barbara. The winners were losing throughout most of the game but made a stirring comeback in the last quarter as Behnke, Gordon, and Nicolaus began to find the range. Five days later Thacher trailed all the Way to give a 62-39 decision to Villanova. On January 8 the first League game saw a Santa Ynez squad power to a S6-36 win in its own gym. The next Wednesday Nicolaus and Behnke dunked 19 and 16 points respectively to lead the team to a 56-34 victory over Midland EL ARCHIVERO 79 at Cate. On January 17 Thacher kept a return appointment with the Blue men at Carpinteria, and the game was more even than before, but when Nicolaus fouled out, Cate's 48-33 win was assured. Thacher's first home game on January 24 saw League Champion Santa Clara commit a 66-13 murder. On the last night of the first month, the losing streak was snapped by rapping Santa Barbara Catholic, 39-30, there. Behnke was hot with jump shots in the first quarter, giving Thacher a lead that Was held despite the Cardinals' third period bid. In a return match with Villanova on February 5 the Wildcats racked up a 56-36 Win, with Behnke nabbing 12 points for the losers. Five days later Moorpark defeated Thacher at Nordhoff, 54-29. In the last game of the season on February 20 Simi's superior shooting gave them a 55-37 win over the Thacher hoopsters. The starting line-up was: Gordon, N. Chickering, Behnke, Helmholz, and Nicolausg with subs: Bonner, Coleman, Labbe, and Oliver-Smith. At the banquet Hugh Gordon was elected next year's captain. B BASKETBALL Under Coach Kleinfelter and Captain John Truog, the B basketball team ended the season with 3-4 League and 5-6 over-all records to gain a tie for fourth place in the Tri-Valley. Troug, the high scorer with 106 points, was elected a member of the All-League B Team. Thacher opened the season on December 6 by Whipping Cate 39-26, Truog was high-point man with 14. The team next lost to San Marcos, 32- 20, to Villanova, 28-275 and to Santa Ynez, 55-37. Thacher re-entered the win column with a 56-44 victory over Midland in a non-League encounter, superior ball control and Troug's 16 points made the difference. In a re-match of the season's opener an improved Cate team trounced Thacher 54-40. In the first home game Santa Clara, the eventual League Champion, swamped the Ojai squad 56-24, and a red-hot Santa Barbara Catholic team followed with a 45-34 win after scoring 37 points in the first half. The B's finished with three consecutive league wins on the Nordhoff court. Truog led his team to reverse an earlier loss to Villanova for an easy 45-31 victory over the Wild- cats. Despite a weak third quarter, Pete Whitney's 14 points helped Thacher to pull away in the final period to a 48-30 win over Moorpark. In a close contest that required overtime Thacher grabbed a 39-37 win from Simi in the season's final game. The season's starting line-up included Truog, J. Acquistapace, Christen- sen, Kent, Gardner, Jensen, and P. Whitney, while Escher, Kendrick, Leppo, J. Williams, Lambert, and Taylor were the substitutes. C BASKETBALL Getting off to a slow start this year, Thacher's C team dropped its first four games, to Cate Q27-17J, San Marcos Q32-8j, Villanova Q28-17J, 80 EL ARCHIVERO and Santa Ynez Q34-91. The squad recovered to down Midland 28-21 and upset Cate in a rematch, 29-22. In the first home game, the C's lost to the fast Santa Clara five, 45-23, but then defeated Santa Barbara Catholic 20-1 S. In the last three games, all at home, the team suffered losses, Villanova Q26- Zlj, Moorpark C30-231, and Simi Q29-18j. The squad's final League record was 3-8, while for all the games it was 3-11. Corbett, Forster, and Weitzel were the C's leading scorers. Coached by Mr. Halsey and captained by Barry Smith, the team con- sisted of Corbett, Weitzel, Recsei fAll-League playerj , Kerr, Cooley, Forster, Farquhar, S. Case, Meehl, Keesling, and Hornby.

Shagam, Miller, and Whitehead, the track team ended the spring with two wins, three seconds, and a solid over-all record. Midland hosted a quadrangular meet with Cate, Laguna Blanca, and Thacher on March 11.to open the season. Harry Wyeth Won the high hurdles and took second in the lows, while Marsten was first in the hundred and second in the 220. Heard put the shot farthestg and Dave Williams, Jim Whitney, Bill Dole, and Russ Callander provided places to give Thacher a 33-point second in front of Midland and Cate with 18 and 6 respectively. Laguna's 47 points easily won the meet. The next week found Thacher and Simi with 35 points apiece tied for second place over Moorpark, while Fillmore's JV led the pack with 55. Wyeth and Marsten took their events and high-point honors for the day. Whitney won the mileg and Eggers, Heard, Bonner, Dole, and Callander sup- plied additional points. In the most exciting meet of the season Thacher overpowered Cate, squeaked past Villanova, and Hnally won 48 to 13 to 44. Marsten, Wyeth, and Whitney won their events. The wearers of the green stripe were losing when a determined relay team ran the Villanova quartet into the ground and put the meet on ice. At the Russell Cup Invitationals on April 18 Thacher gained four second places. A's Whitney and Callander placed respectively in the mile 82 EL ARCHIVERO and the 880. Henry Eggers set a new School Record of 1:32.S by running second in the B 660, and Bonebakker was number two in the 1320. Missing Williams and Masten, the squad lost a return meet with Villa- nova on April 22. Wyeth again took the hurdles, Eggers, the 880 and the 2205 and Whitney, the mile. At the League Championship Track Meet on May Day, Wyeth topped the highs and placed second in the low hurdles. Eggers won the 880, and Whitney and Bonebakker paced the runners of the mile in that order. Marsten was third in the 100 and fourth in the 220. Lack of depth in this large contest gave Thacher fourth place. In the final meet of the season C. de P. whopped Cate. Wyeth dominated the hurdles as usual. Other firsts went to Heard in the shot put, Eggers in the 880, Williams in the high jump and pole vault, Whitney in the mile, and Marsten in the 220. On May 9 Harry Wyeth and jim Whitney participated in the C. I. F. quarter-finals, but neither could crack the stiff competition. On May 13, over steaks and fshamelj carbonated beverages, it was dc- termined that Lew Coleman be Track Captain for 1960.

BASEBALL FIRST TEAM BASEBALL HE breaks for Thacher varsity baseball all seemed to go the wrong way this year as the team ended with a two-win, nine-loss record. Al- though this may seem a disappointing percentage, the squad played some fine baseball and had an enjoyable season. The first game was probably the worst, as the team lost to Nordhoff 17-3 due largely to inexperience on the mound. On March 20 the squad travelled to Moorpark to receive a S-2 beating. Although victory was within reach, the hits failed to come when needed most. The Thacher nine returned from Spring vacation only to face powerful, league-winning Villanova. Hits by Mayne and Helmholz started the game well, giving us a 4-1 second-inning lead. The Wildcats, however, came back in the third with nine runs to clinch the game. The next day the squad went to Claremont for a non-league game with Webb. The Gauls started by earning an early four-run lead, but Thacher soon warmed up and tied the game in the top of the sixth. Webb snatched the game in the lower half of the sixth with three singles and a double, driving in four more runs. 84 EL ARCHIVERO VICTORY was the Word when Thacher grabbed its first win in a non- league, home match with Midland. It was our game all the way as lead-off batter Tony Bryan slugged a two-bagger, and Steve Mayne collected three- for-four. Thacher gathered nine hits, winning 10-4. Perhaps the most heartbreaking game of the season was with Cate on April 24. Thacher collected eight runs the first inning, and led 16-8 by the fourth. The team fell part, however, and gave up seven runs in the seventh, to loose it 17-16. Thacher won its first league game at Santa Barbara Catholic on April 30. By the second inning two hits by Bryan and singles by Lieurance, Rich, and Labbe earned a 7-1 lead. The Cardinals had a big fourth inning, however, and tied the game eight-all. In the extra inning Helmholz singled and Santa Barbara brought him around on an error to clinch the game for the Cowboys. In a return match at Cate, Thacher again lost, by a 12-7 score. Laying off a week for extra-day trips didn't help the team much, and they dropped the final two games to Santa Ynez, 7-3, and to Simi, 9-0. At the baseball banquet top-hitter George Helmholz was elected next year's captain. The line-up was as follows: Pitchers: Helmholz, Bryan, Mayne, Luppen, Gates: First Base: Mayne, Oliver, Smith: Second Base: Bryan, Gordon: Third Base: Rich: Short-stop: Bryan, Helmholz, Left Feld: Labbeeg Center: Case, Gordon, Acquistapace: Right Field: Lieurance: Manager and cheerleader: Clyde. SECOND BASEBALL TEAM The Second Team opened its season on the right foot with a 14-7 victory over Moorpark at the New Field on March 20. Inexperience in fielding was evident, but the batting looked good as Bailey smashed a single, a double, and then a triple. On April 10 the Second Team beat Cate 6-5 at the Ojai diamond as Corbett, Escher, and P. Whitney all hit well. Thacher first tasted defeat on April 14 when Villanova won by a score of 19-S, but a week later the squad's scattered baggers spelled a 13-8 victory over Mid- land. May 5, however, saw the team beaten again, this time 15-7 by Nord- hoff. And again, on May 12, despite Whitney's three hits in three trips to the plate, they lost to Villanova 7-4, to finish the season with a 3-3 record. The line-up under Coach Chesley and Captain Ridgeway Luppen was: Pitchers: Luppen, Weitzel, Porter, Oliver-Smith, Infield: Corbett, Forster, Bailey, Cooley, Pinkham: Outfield: P. Whitney, Myers, Escher, Kendrick: Manager: Baum. THIRD BASEBALL TEAM Coached by John Lewis and captained by Nick Wood, the third base- ball team wound up its season with a 1-3 record. EL ARCHIVERO 85 The inexperienced nine lost the opener to O.V.S., 6-4. After having had no practice for the previous three weeks, they met Laguna Blanca and triumphed 10-8, with Russ Weitzel on the mound. In a return game, the men from the white lagoon retaliated with a decisive 16-S victory. Behind the steady pitching of Skip Porter, the third team lost its final game to O.V.S., 2-1. The line-up was: Pitchers: Weitzel, Porter, Infielders: R. Greene, Kerr. Stewart, Wood, Ignong Outfielders: M. Greene, Christensen, McReynolds, Subs: Kendrick, Storke, Work, and Ward. 86 EL ARCI-IIVERO Slllllllillgf Callaway 1Capit.l, Truog. Jensen, Nieolaus, Lepipo, Mr. Lamb. Kneeling: Myrin, Washburn, N. Chiekering. Rhodes. TENNIS LED by Captain Gallaway and Coach Lamb, Thacher has enjoyed another year of successful tennis Q8-3 recordj as the varsity chalked up its thir- teenth successive Tri-Valley League Championship and went to the semi-finals of the C. I. F. On March 10 Thacher opened the season with a close 4-3 win over Ventura. With the score tied 3-3, the second doubles team of Myrin and Rhodes fought back to take two sets after losing the first, thus clinching the victory for Thacher. Following the Ventura match, on March 20 the jun- ior Varsity travelled to Moorpark to beat their Varsity. The next day the netters met a strong Harvard team on our home courts. The deciding match lasted three sets. Thacher lost 7-5 in the third, giving Harvard a 4-3 victory. On April 8 Gallaway's seven easily defeated Villanova 7-0. Three days later, the team travelled south for a match with Webb. With the score tied 2-2, Rhodes-Leppo coined a doubles victory to gain the decisive point. Thacher next hosted an experienced Santa Barbara squad. Two of the singles matches went three sets, but the Ojains won them both, making the final score S-2. On April 17, a varsity composed of Middle and Lower Schoolers travelled EL ARCI-IIVERO 87 to Santa Clara. It was encouraging to see that much of the School's strength lies in the lower two classes, for the team won 6-1. Two more victories were in store for Thacher on April 21 and 22 as the racquet squad defeated Nord- hoff and Cate, both by scores of 7-0. At this point the season was pleasantly interrupted by the Ojai Tennis Tournament. The School's two singles entries, Rob Gallaway and Brooke Hal- sey, lost in the first round. In the doubles, John Truog and Windy Nicolaus survived the initial contest only to lose in the second. Josh Jensen and Tad Washburn proved more successful as they upset the second seeded doubles team in the fifteen-and-undersg however, they lost in the semi-finals. Two days after the Ojai Tournament, Thacher met Ventura in a re- match. This time the score was reversed as Ventura took over, 4-3. On May S, Thacher downed W. S. Hart S-2 in the Hrst athletic encounter between the two schools. The regular season ended as a combined Junior Varsity team defeated Santa Ynez, S-2. In the Tri-Valley League Tournament which fol- lowed, all the finalists were from Thacher. Gallaway won the singles title by defeating Leppog while Truog and Nicolaus in the doubles beat N. Chick- ering and Washburn. On May 22, the Cowboys travelled to Hart for their first match in the C. I. F. playoffs. The team played well and won 19-9, as Gallaway took his four singles matches, and Rhodes and N. Chickering did likewise in the doubles. The following Tuesday Thacher met Harvard in the semi-finals. It was a close contest all the way, and with one set to be played Harvard led 14-13. About 100 spectators watched Nicolaus battle Harvard s No. 2 player, Priceman, in the deciding set. Nicolaus went down fighting but lost 7-5. Harvard eked out a victory, IS-13. In the finals of the 72 entry School Tournament, Nicolaus beat Truog. ' Q v r . i 1 2 f J- .,f,5. ,J vu , x Q ' ,ya '.,.

V. 1.7 1 ACHIEVEMENT 90 EL ARCHIVERO CLOSING EXERCISES HE seventieth year came to a close in a series of easy stages. The spread- out examination schedule ended June sixth. That same evening Lillian Hellman's Montserrat was given a second performance in the new auditor- ium. Sunday evening we followed last yearis precedent and had the Bacca- laureate Service at dusk. Our speaker, Dr. Ganse Little, pastor of the Pasadena Presbyterian Church, spoke about the fish that did not get away . This was a talk on sharing our ideas and abilities. Held Monday evening was the Farewell Banquet followed by- the custo- mary awards and speeches. The gathering dispersed after the singing of Do- mine and The Banquet Song . Tuesday morning the academic procession was ushered to the Outdoor Theatre by marshals Gates and Bryan. The opening prayer was read by Chris Henze, and Leo Acquistapace read On Friendship from The Prophet by Gibran. Mr. Chase then introduced the faculty for the commendations. Awards and prizes were next in the proceedings. Then came the headmaster's comments on the schoolg its current status and progress. The standing andl singing of Knightsbridge made the rocks seem more comfortable while the scholastic prizes and diplomas were awarded. The multitudes then adjourned to the plaza next to the dining room for a sumptuous buffet prepared by Quong and his staff. Immediately following the meal came the farewells and the exodus. The Upper Upper caravan paused in foto at the Cottage Hospital to see Mr. Miller before departing.
