DEDICATION It has often been debated, whether the first day of school in 1951, was a greater blow to the Park School or to its newest faculty member. For that day Bradley Chapin will never forget us, for the year it started we will always remember him. Remember the snowball fight he started above the North Wall-the day he missed class, because he'd been thrown in the Pond-the grin with which he so often terminated a class twenty minutes ahead of time-his constant lending of knowledge to us until we could develop our own-the many problems of class dances, colleges, and Senior theses which he helped to solve with his wisdom, enthusiasm and experience-the smile which gave us confidence-the understanding which made a gigantic dilemma insignificant? We, the Class of 1953, remember and for these memories dedicate the SPARK to this small, grinning and fearless dynamo. 2 MR. BRADLEY CHAPIN

SENIORS A PRAYER Today, as every day, let us look forward unto the new horizon-the new horizon that will bring a new light and a better life. O God, help us to understand better that which cannot be readily seen, to feel that which is hard to feel, and to hear that which cannot be heard, for we must reach out beyond ourselves these days, with mind and soul, to renew our faith in things beyond our realm. Help us young people, to find the road that leads to the good life, and keep us on that road, though it have many a curve and many a hill. Give us courage to surmount those hills, and to carry on, when the road seems roughest. Help us, in these times, to see beyond the artificial luster, nowadays demonstrated so freely. Help us by giving us a true sense of values, on which to base our ideals and future goals in life, by which properly to evaluate our ideas and pastimes, and better to understand and control our emotions and passions. Help us to know what is right, and to want to do what is right, for most of us know perfectly well what we ought to do, but don't always do it. Thereby may we become better individuals, and serve our country better. In Thy spirit's name we ask for this guidance.

His sturdy spirit and determination give him that up and at 'em attitude in his studies and in sports. This is seen in his performance on this year's soccer team and as captain of this year's basketball team. Terry's three years at Park have been characterized mainly by his leadership, friendliness, sports ability, and his know-how-to-have-fun. He has served in several class positions, among which was the iob of Senior class president. His efficiently placid dark-eyed exterior never gives hints of what fires are ablaze beneath. He often gives the intentionally misleading impression that his way with girls is completely their own idea. lWe wonderll lt is the combination of energy, spirit, and modest efficiency which makes Terry the likeable person he is. A merry heart maketh a cheery countenance. 4
