THE 19 3 7 S C E C L L 1937 CLASS HISTORY Those four remaining members of Mr. Reiter’s Housatonic League Championship team of three years ago can well be proud of the fact that the numerals that they won that year will mean something in the future. Those four numerals, 1 -9-3-7, will not be just another set of numerals, for Pawling of the future will have come to realize the intense activity and success of the Class of 1937. The broadness of the class, athletically and scholastically, will long be remembered, not to mention its success in extra-curricular activities. Surely only an extraordinary group could produce so many football men. Out of nine- teen lettermen of Pawling’s first undefeated season, fifteen were seniors. And the class does not limit its record breaking to football, for Webb, McKinney, Bininger, and Hayward have all shortened the times of their predecessors in swimming. Webb is a Pawling swim- mer of four years standing. At thirteen he was the only diver on the team, this year topping off his career as captain. Other unique captains were Dinny Gagnon, two years the leader of baseball, and Bill Hayward, captain of football and hockey. Of Gagnon we expect to hear more in the baseball world. Among the managers we find Doug Sherwood, who was swim- ming manager in his junior year as well as in his senior year. No mistake was made three years ago when Brad Hastings was awarded the Commencement Prize for the Most Improve- ment. Captain Hastings has not only improved his own time in the mile run by over fifteen seconds, but has also taken on another event, the half-mile. Could anyone forget the names of these Pawling athletes? We think not. The names of Gagnon, Hayward, Webb, and Hastings will go down in Pawling’s history among her best athletes. 1937 does not lack athletic prestige! And with that prestige in athletics the men of 1937 have held high the standards of extra-curricular activities. Along with their athletics, many of the fellows have been doing other work. The Record and Scroll boards both contain not only football men but also mem- bers of other athletic teams. And as for the extraordinary members of these organizations, jim Schweppe was Business Manager of the Record in his junior year, and, this year, Gus Snyder did remarkable work as Business Manager of both the Record and Scroll. Far more than fifty percent of the Congressmen are two-year men, and this year’s class, with Blum- enthal as leader, reorganized Congress by introducing Open Forums. 1937 is the last class that originated in the second form, now extinct. That second form contained three members, and the following year four were added. Only three more came the next year, but in 1935 the class enrollment jumped to twenty-six. This year the total is forty-one. We are also a large class, one of the largest! Page sixteen
