Two of the classes' twenty-eight boys hail from South America, Ron Schwartz from Bogota, Colombia, and Pedro Pelaez from Caracas, Venezuela. Both are good students and are very definitely a boost to the class. At the beginning of the year, the Sophomores elected John Salaverry and David White to represent the form on the Student Council. Both 'Sal' and Dave' have shown much enthusiasm in leading and helping the class. All sports have been well represented by our class. Kit Rhodes, probably the form's best athlete, John Salaverry and Bill Merrill were all on the Varsity football team. Don Mosely, the J. V.’s leading defenseman, and Pedro Pelaez and John Parsek, both members of the Third football team, were brought up to the Varsity’s hamburger squad” after the termination of their respective seasons. Dave White played his second spirited year of Varsity soccer. John Hitchcock and Hank Van Buren played for both the Varsity and JayVee soccer squads. All these boys, and many not mentioned, show much promise for Trinity-Pawling's future athletic seasons. Ability was no less apparent with the arrival of the winter season. Kit Rhodes upheld the Sophomore Class on the Varsity Basketball team. John Salaverry and Don Mosely braved the cold to play hockey for the Varsity. Finally, Dave Coughlin and John Turner did well on the Varsity swimming team. Dave held down the same position on the relay team that his brother Terry did back in 1952. The class was well represented in the school’s extra-curricular activities among which the Drama Club, Acolytes Guild, Rifle Club, Camera Club, Glee Club, and the newly organized Band were the most popular. Dave White was undoubtedly the form's best singer, singing first tenor in all three of the school's vocal organizations, the Glee Club, the Choir, and the Octet. Hints of engineering ability can be found in numerous and various members of the class. John Graves and Toni Livau-dais especially may be seen at almost any hour of the day and night assembling a balsa-wood airplane with little more than their trusty X-acto” knives and their deft fingers. The highest scholastic average of the class belonged to Dave Coughlin, the form's most consistent honors boy. Dave was closely followed by John Turner and Toni Livaudais, both regular members on the honor roll. As next year's Juniors and eventual Seniors, much is expected from this class which has had such a successful year. 40 Front row, left to right—Pelaez, Stone, Salaverry, D. White, Livaudais.

The class has several fine-students who have made the honor roll consistently and several good athletes. It has contributed to all phases of T-P life; in fact it was an all-around form. The form was headed scholastically by Don Durbcck, Truxton Moebs, Steve Pearson and Caleb Finch. The Freshman Class, though very small, was well represented in the school's extra-curricular activities of which the Rifle Club and the Glee-Club were the most popular among the Frosh. Rifle Club awards were made constantly to Annis, Moebs, Bivins, Bilbiles, Pearson, Hehn, Bailey and Gonzales. T-P's new band was well supported by Durbeck, Finch, Fairbairn, Bilbiles and King. Wally King was the form's sole representative in the Camera Club, while Baron Fairbairn and John Sehon belonged to the school choir. This year the class shone on the field of Sport. Baron Fairbairn must be congratulated for making the Varsity football team. The majority of the Freshmen were on the Third football team. Annis and Stone, however, attained membership on the J. V.'s. Jack Rose played consistently for the Varsity Soccer team, and Ed Gonzales was on the J. V. Soccer squad. With the advent of the winter season, Steve Annis was made manager of Second, Third, and Fourth team Basketball. Steve Heffering made the Second basketball team and Rose, Pearson, MacLaren, Le Gost and Bivins played fourth team ball. J. V. hockey was represented by Bill Bilbiles and John Sehon. Caleb Finch, backstroker for the Varsity swimming team, had a successful season and will do well in future-years. Mention should be made of John Sehon who helped keep the school in touch with the outside world by supplying us regularly with the New York Times. At the beginning of the year the class elected as their student council representative Steve Heffering, who has led his class wisely and well throughout the year. Much is hoped of this class which has gotten off to such a good start in all branches of school life. The best of luck to the Class of 1954 and to the Class of 1957. 43 ACTIVITIES PREFECTS Sealed—Webb. Standing—W. Fairbairn, Martin, Wilkinson. TFHIS year the student government of Trinity-X Pawling School functioned under the careful leadership of four prefects: Jeff Webb, Bob Martin, Steve Wilkinson and Bill Fairbairn. As in past years, the prefects again supervised the work programs, study halls and dining room tables. This year, because of the honor system on the Senior corridor, which started at the end of the first term, some of the burden of supervision was removed from the prefects. Some of the new plans which the Student Council voted into effect were students saying grace at dinner and selling snacks at athletic engagements to make money for the yearbook. The Activities Committee, which consisted of an equal number of students and faculty, organized and scheduled the extra-curricular activities. A meeting of the student body was held every Thursday evening in the main lobby during which time various types of entertainment were provided. The first school band was formed this year, and a group of singers and actors put on Gilbert and Sullivan’s operetta Trial by Jury.” The Committee also selected several movies to be shown during the school year. Although time for these activities may have been scarce, enthusiasm and appreciation on the part of the Student body was never lacking. 46 ACTIVITIES COMMITTEE STUDENT COUNCIL Seated, left to right—Martin, Bundy.

THIS year the Choir, under the capable guidance of its new director, Mr. Eisler, performed excellently at chapel every Sunday. This group of boys sacrificed valuable spare time in order to make chapel more enjoyable for the congregation. Each week they sang an anthem during the offering. Choir members also served as leaders in the Glee Club, lending their valuable support as they helped other members learn their part. The Choir which played the larger part in the pageantry, not only did an outstanding job at the Christmas candlelight service, but also made a pleasant contribution to Glee Club concerts, singing a group of their own songs. New members, old members and Mr. Eisler are all to be congratulated on a job well done. TIHE Drama Club of Trinity-Pawling this year has been under the direction of Mr. Eisler, who came to us from the Woodstock (Vt.) Players with a wealth of experience in the dramatic arts. The Club has presented to the school this year two one-act plays, one a comedy, the other a drama. The comedy was produced and directed by the president of the Club, Bill Tennant, and starred Mike McHugh. The Club also spent an evening giving a table reading of a one-act farce. Drama is one of the more important extracurricular activities since it gives to those who participate a feeling of stability and poise. It is to be regretted that due to academic responsibilities more time has not been given to this rewarding creative art.

THE Trinity-Pawling Glee Club, numbering a record seventy-six voices strong, has really been quite an accomplishment for its director, Paul Eisler. He and Mrs. Eisler have spent many hours perfecting the organization. The Glee Club elected as its president Bob Couture, who with the aid of Dick Noble, the vice-president, and Bill Fairbairn, the librarian, did much to aid in directing the group. On February 26th, the Glee Club held its first concert with the Mary Burnham School. The evening was a great success, and the Glee Club proved to be a credit to its director and to the school. Although many seniors will be leaving the club, the outlook for next year is still bright. Through the hard work of Mr. Eisler, the Glee Club will continue to be an asset to Trinity-Pawling. FIOR the first time in school history, a band was J; organized this year. Under the direction of Mr. Eisler, the band has done a remarkable job in its short period of existence. At the beginning of the year there were very few members who were able to produce any sounds that resembled music at all. However the enthusiasm was so great that the Fathers’ Association graciously donated the instruments to the school. Led by Nick Brignola, Don Durbeck and Tuck Finch, already accomplished musicians, the band turned into a fine unit and their success was climaxed by playing at the Gunnery football game. Congratulations are extended to Mr. Eisler and to the band, and we are expecting much from them next year. Front row, left to right—Van Rensselaer, T. Turnbull, B.

TRINITANNUS THIS edition of the TRINITANNUS is the result of much hard work by the entire staff, whose whole-hearted cooperation helped carry the book over the rough spots. The greatest problem confronting any yearbook staff is the raising of money through advertisements and subscriptions to meet production costs. Peter Cornell, our business manager, led his staff to attain our monetary goal. Without Pete's energy and perseverance, the TRINITANNUS could not have been published. The sports department was under the editorship of Bill Fairbairn, who served in the same capacity last year. Bill, despite his many other extra-curricular obligations, has done a fine job. Phil Smith, feature editor in 1953, has returned to fill the same post this year. His was the task of procuring those little 60-word write-ups that everyone forgets or puts off to the last minute. This he did efficiently and with a quiet enthusiasm. The senior articles were the work of Bill Van Rensselaer, Mike McHugh, Bill Tennant and Bob Martin. Their variety of style made this section an especially good one. The one junior on our staff was Charles Clark, who headed the art department. We hope you will agree with us that Chuck's clever cartoons and section dividers have brought life and humor to these pages. The Editor-in-Chief of this year's TRINITANNUS was Jeff Webb. To him fell the never-easy task of seeing that the staff functioned as a co-ordinated unit. This accomplished, he worked hand in hand with the administration and the publisher during the final stages. The man on the staff most usually forgotten is Mr. Elliott, our faculty advisor, who aided us not only with advice but also with a great amount of time and effort. To him goes most of the credit for this yearbook. From row, left to right—Pitts. Newcomb. Tennant. Ginner. McHugh, Martocci, Palmer, Van Rensselaer.

TRINITY-PAW LING TIMES ON October 22, 1947, the first issue of the Trinity-Pawling Times, a newspaper published ten times during the school year by the boys of Trinity-Pawling School for all who are in any way connected with the school, was published. Today, six years after that first issue was read, the T-P Times has grown to be a school paper that can take its place with the best of New England preparatory school newspapers. The circulation of the Times, though not large, carries it to students, parents, alumni, and other schools. As such, the Times has become a chronicle of Trinity-Pawling life to be referred to and looked back upon. Under Editor-in-Chief Stephan Wilkinson, a staff was assembled that was instrumental in making the Times as successful as it was this year. Thomas Newcomb, the Times' Assistant Editor, did his job uncomplainingly and well, as did Nick Ginner, whose writing was the best of the News Staff. While such boys as Prentice Burr, John Pitts, Robert Lake, and Peter Harrington took care of the editorial end of producing the Times, Jeff Webb managed the Sports Staff, a job in itself. William Fairbairn, who was the paper’s Business Manager, worked for many extra advertisements this year, although he functioned in an unsung capacity. Last but not least is William White, Circulation Manager, who was also a behind-the-scenes” worker. One of the excellent features of the Times this year was its fine photographic coverage. This was made possible only by Mr. George J. Turner, father of a T-P student, who contributed all the copper engravings needed to print these pictures. Work on a school newspaper such as the Times is valuable experience both in college and in later life. This year, the Times reached a successful high, both in the paper itself and in what was gained in its production by its staff, all of whom worked to make the Times as good a paper as it is. 51 Front row, left to right—Hunt, Shaw.

THE Cercle Frantais” has proved to be a popular club and meetings have been held regularly. The club has met under the direction of Mr. Tirrell, and the following officers were elected; Bob Martin, President, Nick Ginner, Vice-President and Hugh St. Leger, Secretary. At the beginning of the year new members were required to give a five minute talk in French on why they wanted to join the French Club. Mr. Harrington, of the Kent School, gave us an informal French talk which was understood and enjoyed by all. The club put on a short program for the entire school which consisted of a take-off in French of the Hit Parade. Every member of the club took part in it. Although our grades may not have risen perceptibly, we are grateful to Mr. Tirrell for helping to make the meetings so enjoyable. UNDER the direction of President John Pitts and faculty advisors Mr. Baron and Mr. Higgins, Trinity-Pawling's Rifle Club has generated much enthusiasm and shown many improvements during this past year. The club is affiliated with the National Rifle Association, an organization through which many official awards were made during the year for good marksmanships. In the Junior Division, of which T-P's club is a member, awards are made for .22 cal. rifles only. Several improvements have been made in the structure and organization of the club. A raised platform to shoot from has been constructed in the new rifle range and a lounge centered around a stove has been arranged at the rear of the firing line. Awards to winners were presented in the Thursday night student body meetings. Seated, left to right—Pearson, Hasse-Iman, St. Leper, Pitts, Pres.; Kaesshaefer, J. Turnbull. Weatherly, Caro.

UNDER the able direction of Mr. Webber, with excellent assistance by Ken Palmer, President, Ray Ruiz-Cox, Vice-President and Bill Van Rensselaer, Secretary, the Spanish Club had a very profitable year of learning. All fifteen members of the club were second or third year students. Each member was called upon to give a fifteen minute talk, in English, on some subject about Spain, the other Spanish speaking countries, or the language itself. The topics were outlined by Mr. Webber and were very interesting. One achievement of the club was the play the group put on. It was a satire on Columbus trip to America, and was very well received. The Spanish Club looks back with pleasure upon a very enjoyable year. THIS year the Dance Committee, under the leadership of Bob Martin, was again faced with the task of staging a dance that would be successful both for students and administration. It was a full-time job for every man on the committee. Tuxedos had to be ordered, invitations had to be written, a room list had to be made up, and the auditorium had to be decorated. This the committee did without a hitch. The auditorium was decorated in a blue and white motif with streamers running across the ceiling. Card tables were decorated and used by the students during intermissions. Bob Halprin's Orchestra provided very entertaining music. We extend heartiest congratulations to the committee for a job well done. Seated, left to right—Martin, Chairman, Cornell. Clark. Standing—Van Rensselaer. Hunt. DANCE COMMITTEE Seated—Mr. Eisler.

OCTET THE 1954 Octet, commonly called the Troubadours and ably led by X Mr. Eisler, was one of the outstanding highlights of the music department. The Troubadours appeared at the football dance and again before the Mary Burnham School Glee Club in a concert held here at Trinity-Pawling. CAMERA CLUB THIS year's Camera Club has proven to be one of the best in the X school's history. The interest of not only the club's officers but also of all the boys was remarkable. Under the watchful eye of Mr. Darling, the club's supervisor, the work of each member was greatly improved. 54 ACOLYTES GUILD rrHIS year the Acolytes Guild was increased in membership from I eleven to thirty-one. Each member had a chance to serve at the regular evening service on weekdays, whereas Senior Acolyte Jeff Webb served at the Sunday vesper service. Bob Recknagel was the student organist and Stuart White was in charge of maintenance. Front row, left to right—Van Rensselaer, Coughlin, Sala-verry. Miles, Ginner, S. White, Recknagel, Havener.

VARSITY AT the beginning of 1953 pre-season football practice, Head Coach Jack Karpoe saw that he faced a reconstruction job in his team's back-field, as well as a complete reorganization of the line. Severely hurt by graduation, the line’s only returning lettermen were center John Coulter and ends Alex Kerr, Philip Smith, and Bruce Schlusemeyer. The backfield, however, seemed to pose no problem, with star fullback Bob Martin returning for his third year of varsity play. Barry Murtha— Phil Haughey's understudy at quarterback—and Laury Hunt, the team's fleet wingback also augmented the backfield's strength. The squad saw many promising varsity candidates, chiefly composed of last year's third stringers, Jayvees, and several newcomers. Preliminary practice sessions showed Coaches Karpoe and Dunbar that the team’s potential was gradually appearing. Many necessary conversions of back-field men and ends to guards and tackles plagued the coaches during initial drills, but the worst blow came during the squad's pre-season scrimmage with Wooster, when Bob Martin received a fractured knee cap, putting him out for the season and unbalancing the team. During the week before the first game, with Hopkins Grammar, the team regained its spirit FOOTBALL and found an able substitute for Martin in newcomer Richard Noble. Trinity-Pawling's Fighting Gentlemen journeyed to New Haven, Conn., where they unexpectedly upset Hopkins Grammar, 14-7, on Oct. 3. Led by Bob Couture, the team showed surprising co-ordination and punch which overwhelmed the larger and more experienced Hopkins squad. T-P's backfield thrusts by Dick Noble and Laury Hunt drove through the Hopkins line and permitted Barry Murtha to score the first touchdown. Bruce Schlusemeyer made good the conversion. Obviously stunnned by their opponent’s aggressiveness, Hopkins rallied to score their only touchdown, on a pass from star halfback Bob Criscola; the extra point was also scored. During the second half, T-P dominated the gridiron, with electrifying runs by Hunt and Noble. Finally, Hunt tallied on an end run, for the New Yorker's second touchdown. Dick Gaines made the conversion on a pass by Murtha. The score remained at 14-7 for the rest of the game, to find T-P victorious in the season’s first game. It was truly a sad occasion at T-P on Oct. 10, when Kent routed the Blue and Gold, 33-12, for the first time in the two school’s grid relationship. 58 A large alumni crowd watched Kent tally two almost simultaneous touchdowns, both of which were spearheaded by their star quarterback. Bill Starke. Before the conclusion of the first half, T-P halfback Dick Noble broke away on a 35-yard touchdown gallop, to end the half, 14-6, favor of the Kentmen. Kent commenced the second half by scoring within two minutes of the opening kickoff. Before the termination of the game, Kent scored twice more, again led by Starke's dives through a helpless T-P defense. The home team's only second half score came on another run by Noble, who, coupled with Bob Couture, gave T-P its only spark. Outmanned and outweighed, T-P fell before the Kent onslaught, 33-12. After being so decisively beaten, the Fighting Gentlemen bounced back to trounce Cranwell. 26-6. With beautiful backfield running by Noble and Hunt, three first downs were compiled, and shortly thereafter Bob Couture tallied on a pass from Murtha. The extra point was missed and the Cranes” rallied to tie the score, but T-P continued to move as Hunt scurried over and Couture successfully converted. The Blue and Gold, with an impregnable line, held the opposition until halftime. Splendid third quarter running by Schlusemeyer brought the ball to the 3-yard line, from where Murtha tallied and Couture again converted. Noble went around end to net T-P's final 6-pointer, to end a very successful game. Karpoe’s Kids, looking for their third victory, met with a surprising and severe setback, being upset by Hackley, 26-18. It was a hard-hitting game, with each team tallying freely. On the opening kickoff, T-P captain John Coulter smashed the Hackley receiver, causing him to fumble. Couture, taking advantage of the set-up, romped into the end zone for the game's first score. Nevertheless, Hackley returned to tie the score. In the second quarter, T-P and Hackley both scored once, to end the half, 12-12. Hackley started the second half by netting 7 points, as left halfback Wilson clicked on a pass play. Hunt scored for T-P, but the all-important extra point was missed. The Tarrytowners marched to a touchdown in the last period, to end the scoring by both teams. Playing on their home gridiron again, the Varsity eleven whipped Albany Academy, 36-13. Center linemen as well as backs were to score before the contest was concluded. In the first period, scores by Hunt and Murtha started the Blue and Gold off with a 12 point lead. Schlusemeyer and Rhodes, left halfback and right guard, respectively, continued the T-P rally 59 by scoring on pass interceptions and long down-field runs. After several drives, the Academy team tallied a touchdown and made good the conversion. Barr)' Murtha then went over for the Fighting Gentlemen,” on a quarterback sneak, and Dick Noble later made a 60-yard run for T-P’s last TD. Albany, determined to stem the T-P tide, scored one more touchdown, but it came too late to do any good, for the game ended with the Fighting Gentlemen on the long end of a 36-13 score. Playing its best game of the season, the squad shut out Berkshire’s Green, 26-0, on Nov. 1. With an evenly-matched first half, the game’s mid-point found T-P only 6 points ahead of its visitors. Nevertheless, fine defensive play was exhibited by Couture and Shaw, with Noble and Hunt taking offensive honors, especially in the latter half. During a second-half onslaught by T-P’s line, Hunt and Noble ran for successive long TD’s, with Couture placing the pigskin between the uprights for two extra points. Replacement Shaw showed the power of the bench by running 65 yards for the game's concluding tally. Murtha, finding no one to pass to for the extra point, hustled over to convert alone. In the concluding game of the 1953 season, T-P overpowered their arch-rival. Gunnery, 19-6. The opening period of the game saw Laury Hunt cross the line twice. This was the only scoring in the first half, for a determined T-P line held Gunnery's Maroon scoreless. Despite drives towards both goal lines, the third period was also scoreless. On a screen pass midway through the last period, Dick Noble racked up T-P’s last tally. Phil Hockenberger place-kicked for T-P’s only extra point. Gunnery’s sole score came in the last period also, but to no avail, for the game ended with the score 19-6. As the football season culminated, T-P's squad proved to itself and to its coach that it was one of the school’s outstanding teams. Noteworthy is the fact that the team had no outstanding player— the talent was equally distributed amongst its members. Nevertheless, the team elected Bob Couture, its hard-fighting end, to the captaincy. Not once during the season did Bob cease to donate all and sometimes more than was expected of him. He was, throughout the season in both practices and games, the team's leader. The team’s Senior Stalwarts,” including Captain Bob Couture, center Johnny Coulter, fullback Dick Noble, quarterback Barry Murtha, wing back Bruce Schlusemeyer, tackle Alex Kerr, guard Bill Fair-bairn, and others like Bill Eldridge, Ken Palmer, Bob Parker, Dick Melgard, Phil Smith, Bob Martin, and Phil Hockenberger will be lost because of their graduation in June, but underformers like Laury Hunt, George Luce, Tom Turnbull, Dick Gaines, Harry Shaw, and Kit Rhodes will comprise most of next year's team.

JUNIOR VARSITY FOOTBALL SUFFERING from a lack of experience, this year’s Junior Varsity football team got off to a bad start, losing their first three games before chalking up their first win. However, the squad had one oddity that could be brought to the attention of the superstitious: they scored just thirteen points in each of the games which they lost. The season's record was two victories and four defeats. The first game was a heartbreaker for the J. V.’s to lose. Canterbury' came from behind in the last quarter to triumph over a tired T-P team, 13-20. The Seconds were completely outplayed at Gunnery, 13-21, in the next game. The third loss was an upset at the hands of Wooster, 13-21. Coach Higgins put his green squad to work a lot harder in practice and it paid off in the next two games. Lydon’s passes to Henzel and Mosley's defensive play inspired the team to force an undefeated Cranwell squad to bow, 26-13. The next game was the season's best, as T-P triumphed over Hackley in a 33-0 romp. The season's wind-up was also a hard one to lose. The Seconds went to Danbury hoping to even their season’s record; although they scrapped hard, the team, riddled and weakened by injuries which put three star players out of action, dropped a close decision to the Danbury J. V.'s, 13-14. The team elected Harris Lydon captain for the year. Chuck Clark kicked the extra points and quarterback John Troy, along with Don Mosley, Craig Henzel, John Messineo and center John Cartier, who wouldn't let an injury keep him out of the last game, added spirit and skill to the team. Also deserving credit are linemen Bob Lake, Jack Turner, Nick Brignola, Jim Sellon, Bill White and Rolf Andersen who willingly gave thc-ir strength to the team's support. The team was managed by Paul Havener and was coached by Mr. Higgins and senior Bob Martin, who gave a great deal of their time to the squad. Next year's season looks bright for Mr. Higgins because of the fact that many of the letter-winners will be returning. 61 Front row, left to right—Recknagel, Cornell. Ginner.

VARSITY SOCCER THE Blue and Gold varsity soccer team, bolstered by the return of lettermen Ted Lane, Jeff Webb, Pete Cornell, Bill Van Rensselaer, Andy Fisher, Ian Green and Dave White were expected to be much improved over last year. This prediction did not quite come true, however, but the team did increase the total of wins to two, winning two while losing six. The first game, played at Berkshire, found a determined Trinity-Pawling squad beaten 4-0 by a team that remained undefeated the entire season. In the first quarter Berkshire jumped to a quick 2-0 lead. Both scores came on screen shots which just got by Lane. Throughout the remainder of the game, T-P put up a good fight, but slipped further and further behind, until at the game’s end the score read 4-0 in favor of Berkshire. On October 16th, our booters won their first game by beating a highly rated Taft squad, 2-1. The first half was a see-saw struggle with neither side being able to score. This was due mainly to a series of spectacular saves by both goalies. The second half was evenly matched until midway in the third period, Taft was awarded a free kick. Due to a beautiful save by Lane, the ball didn’t dent the twines. With seven minutes left in the game, Fisher scored a goal for T-P which was closely followed by a goal by Albers. Taft scored once before the game was over but T-P had won, 2-1. A high-strung Blue and Gold team, hoping for its second win, dropped the next game to Canterbury. It was a tight game, as is evinced by the 1-0 score, highlighted by the play of T-P goalie Lane. He made many beautiful saves, but at 11:53 of the first quarter Canterbury scored. For the rest of the game, T-P was constantly pressing but they could not score. In the last quarter, Albers booted the ball straight at the goal. The Canterbury center, seeing that the goalie could not stop the shot, caught the ball. Albers took the resulting free kick 62 and missed by inches. The game ended a few minutes later with T-P defeated, 1-0. On October 23rd, the team travelled to Albany to play Albany Academy. T-P was beaten, 1-0. The opening play saw a hardcharging Albany squad boot a goal past goalie Lane. After that setback, T-P went on the offense but couldn't score. In the second half Albany again began to force the play, and it was only Lane's beautiful goaltending that prevented more goals from being scored. The final whistle blew with T-P beaten, again by 1-0. Meeting a top notch Cranwell eleven, the Blue and Gold booters lost, 5-0. The first period was all Cranwell's. They scored before the game was ten seconds old and then added two more scores before the close of the period. The second quarter saw Cranwell score its last two goals. During the first half, Lane was credited with 21 saves. The stronger than the Blue and Gold, outhustled the Empire Staters and managed to kick the ball past Webb, the T-P goalie, five times. A lone goal was scored for the home team by Pete Cornell from his left inside position. If the Hackley game was lost because of the lethargy of the defense, the Kent game was lost because of a lack of team play on the part of the offense. Repeatedly the ball was cleared by the defense, only to have a forward lose it to a Kent back. The varsity ended their season on a high note, slaying the Gunnery Goat to the tune of 2-1. The game, originally scheduled for November 7th, had been postponed because of inclement weather. This, without a doubt, was the team's best game, even exceeding the Taft game. The defense was virtually impregnable, with Webb, Burr and White clearing the ball repeatedly from their halfback positions. Bill Tennant, in his first start of the second half was highlighted by the fine play of T-P’s second string who held Cranwell scoreless for the closing two periods. On November 4th, T-P journeyed to Tarrytown to take on a strong Hackley team. Before the game was over, Hackley had scored seven times. The Hackley forwards scored at will due to the complete lack of hustle on the part of the T-P backs. In the second half, in order to strengthen the defense, Lane was moved from goalie to halfback, where he played excellent soccer. Even this change couldn't stop Hackley; the final score was 7-0. Two days after the Hackley defeat, T-P played host to Kent. The visitors, though in no way season, teamed with veteran Jack Walsh to form a formidable pair of fullbacks. Lane, captain for the game, played his usual excellent game in the goal. Both the T-P goals were scored by Pete Cornell, the team's high scorer for the season. After the close of the season, the team elected Ted Lane captain for the year, a just reward for Ted's modesty and leadership. Because this year’s team was mainly a senior squad. Coach Baron will have a reconstruction problem to face next year, but with the nucleus formed by returning lettermen Fisher, Green, Burr, Walsh, and Rose, the task will not be overly difficult.

VARSITY BASKETBALL TRINITY-PAWLING'S 1954 varsity basketball team, by turning in a record of 12 wins and 7 losses, experienced the second best season in the school's brief history. Placing second in the Tri-State League was an accomplishment of which the team should be proud. This is the best league standing that any Trinity-Pawling team has ever attained. Taft, the eventual winner, was the only team that T-P found unconquerable. T-P forecast the whole season as it won its first game against a very good Gunnery team by the score of 61-60. Behind by as many as six points with only seconds to go in the game, T-P with Murtha and Couture playing their hearts out, caught Gunnery and on Couture’s foul shot defeated them. After the Christmas vacation, a hustling T-P team won its first two games by decisive margins, by defeating Hopkins, and massacring Canterbury. At Canterbury the hoopsters set their season’s scoring high with a total of 72 points, with the scoring evenly distributed. A superior Taft team defeated T-P by only 5 points. T-P dropped the next one to Cranwell in a game which featured sloppy ball handling by the T-P team. T-P split the next two defeating Hotchkiss in a game where Murtha and Ruiz-Cox were featured with their phenomenal outside shooting. Against Cranwell The Fighting Gentlemen” lost in the last seconds by 50-49. Picking up their winning streak the varsity defeated Choate in a freak thriller which sent the game into a double overtime game tying on Eld-ridge's hook shot from the deep corner. The game was scoreless in the first overtime. In the second, Murtha hit on a 30 foot set shot that won the game 46-45. Against Kent, T-P managed to stave off a Kent rally when Parker sunk a one handed push shot. Even the cheering of the week-end dance crowd could not disturb a really good Taft crew. Coming from behind, Taft won 56-53. Although they played a good game they lost. This cannot be said for their second meeting with a much improved Canterbury team. The lack of drive and poor play combined with a determined opposition resulted in a 43-40 loss. Berkshire and Choate were the next two clubs that they faced. Neither of these teams offered any opposition to the Fighting Gentlemen. Journeying to Kent, T-P lost a heart-breaker by a mere 4 points. Leading throughout the team was caught and defeated despite many easy chances in the last minute to score. The quintet banged its way into the winning column by defeating Gunnery 62-47. This was probably the best game that the team played all season. Eldridge rebounded magnificently, and Gunnery was unable to cope with Couture's driv- 64 ing layups. A display of aggressiveness, a former missing part in the losing games, finally asserted itself. Drive by everyone made the win over a good team comparatively easy. The hoopsters won the three remaining games after extensive work. During the Hotchkiss game the team overcame a 13 point fourth quarter disadvantage to win. Ruiz-Cox played the most outstanding offensive games of the year by tallying 26 points, 16 in the last quarter, when the pressure was really on. Albany was a problem in the first half, but a 30 point second half in which the hosts held the opposition to 12 spelled the difference as T-P won 63-41. In the last game of the season Trinity-Pawling beat Berkshire 59-37. That day the team was sparked by Noble’s rebounding, Murtha's shooting, and Rhodes’ defensive play. There were many highlights to this season: the first Kent game when the team came from behind to win by one point; at Choate where the game went into a double overtime before the Fighting Gents” managed to pull it out after being behind for three quarters. Hotchkiss was another example of the extraordinary spirit that this team had. A 4th quarter that produced 32 points is really something. First and second Gunnery games were also examples of the improvement of the team. Taft, during the week-end dance was almost an upset victory, but even in defeat Trinity-Pawling never lost that spirit to win against superior odds; a spirit which seemed to exert itself throughout the season. The team itself was not patterned around one individual ballplayer, but rather it was a group playing for each other. The first five is an example of this. Barry Murtha, at one guard, played consistent ball throughout the season. Barry as a basketball player is hard to beat in any league. He was the high scorer for the team collecting 238 points, for an average of nearly 13 points per game. Barry was deservedly elected captain at the close of the season. In Bob Couture, the team possessed a hard driver, a good rebounder and an all around scrapper. Bob was probably the most improved ball player on the team, developing his all around play to coincide with that of his teammates. Truly a team player, Bob was the driving spirit behind many of the teams close victories. Scoring 205 points, mostly on drive in lay-ups, he ranked second in this department. Dick Noble, 6 feet 1 inch tall, was definitely the best rebounder on the team, he consistently scored, but unfortunately he did not hit his true pace until nearly one third of the season was over. With a soft one-hander like his and his great work under the boards, Dick should go far in college basketball. Bill Eldridge, was the starting center throughout the great part of the season. Bill should be given credit for his work under the boards, improving as each game went on. He was closely pressed for his job by Dick Melgard who was brought up from the J. V. squad for the last ten games. Dick played a good game against Berkshire and should receive plaudits for his defensive rebounding against Hotchkiss in the second game. The fifth position was filled by Ruiz-Cox, Rhodes and Parker alternating on and off all year. 65 Front row. left to right—W. Fairbairn. S. White. Harrington, Palmer, Capt.; Clark. Lydon, Salaverry.

VARSITY HOTKEY THE 1954 season of the Varsity Hockey team was not too strong in the scoring department, but it provided much experience for its members. As usual the ice was beautiful over Christmas, but the day we returned it snowed about two inches. From then on the squad was plagued by continual snowfall. This fact is shown by the statistics: 17 days of snow shoveling to 14 days of practice. The first game, also the first organized practice for T-P, started against a strong Canterbury team. The snow slowed game was scoreless in the first and second thirds. Canterbury scored two goals and maintained the lead to finish the winners. With a few days practice played Salisbury here. Hampered by snow again the play was slow but Salisbury two quickies at the outset and three more by the time that the game was called. In the South Kent game T-P overcame its previous aversion to scoring. SKS dominated the first two thirds scoring three and then two. In the last period T-P’s play improved. Harris Lydon and Peter Holman scored but to no avail. SKS held their lead and won 6-2. The next contest was at Gunnery'. For the most part the play was good but the team seemed unable to capitalize on their opportunities around the cage. Only after Gunnery had gained a lead of two goals did Harris Lydon score. Still Gunnery tallied two more before the final whistle. T-P broke its losing streak by beating Hotchkiss then put us in the lead with a goal. On the dance weekend the Bladesters” played Ossining High School and won, 2-1. Our first score was on a fluke, center ice shot by Harris Lydon. They scored one in the next third but so did Ken Palmer and thereby maintained our lead to take the game. The final match was a return engagement with Salisbury. They scored twice in the first period, once in the second to make a shutout. The team did show improvement in each successive game but it seemed that they lost it all by the next or they would show it too late in the period. wr f il IBP, w- ■ w -t {Mm - u ' t 4-3 in the team's best game. The opposition scored first but Ken Palmer tied it up in the first period. In the next period Harris Lydon and George Luce tallied two which gave the team an advantage that was quickly cut to only one. Hotchkiss scored first in the last period to tie the game. George Luce Ken Palmer, a three year man, was elected captain for the season. Bill Fairbairn, goalie, played well and was one of the most consistent players. The Backbone of the team is graduating in Bob Martin, Phil Smith, and Harris Lydon, but the juniors will have a good start for next year. 67 Front row. left to right—Andersen, Hubert, Hockenberger.

VARSITY SWIMMING THOUGH T-P's 1954 Swimming team was hurt by the loss of many of the previous year's mainstays, through their graduation, before the season had ended it was evident that the team was on its way toward compiling the best season's record in five years; though still winless, the team showed pronounced improvement in several departments, giving much promise for next winter. Rolf Andersen set a new school scoring record of seventy points; he was beaten only once, in the season’s first meet, against Peekskill. Andy also set a new mark for future breaststrokers to shoot for by breaking the school’s old record with a time of 1:09.4. The school's new individual medley relay record, also set by Andersen, is 1:26.4. At the conclusion of the season, Michael McHugh and Phil Hockenberger were elected cocaptains of the team. Mike was the team’s longdistance standout, setting a new school record in the 200-yard freestyle with a time of 2:25.7. Phil succeeded in keeping T-P's diving topnotch, and together the two captains scored 25 percent of the team's seasonal point total. The team itself had a heartbreaking season, losing four out of seven meets in the last event. The season opened on a discouraging note, as P. M. A. romped away with the first meet. The next three meets, with Hotchkiss, Hopkins and Peekskill H. S., were not decided until the last event was over, but they lost just the same. Three more defeats, by Canterbury, Hackley and Albany, ended the season's dual meets. 68 Front row, left to right—Kells, Larkin, Acosta, Haughey, Opt.; Newberry, Leeds, Olsen, Mr. Karpoe, Coach. Second row—Scott, Stannard, Lane, W. White, Palmer, Teter, Martin. VARSITY BASEBALL—1953 RINITY-PAWLING started the 1953 baseball season with experienced lettermen Phil Haughey, Jay Acosta, Ray Larkin, and Bobby Martin as a basis for the team. The rest of the squad was comprised of some graduated J. V.’s and a few newcomers. The year was rather erratic. There were many high lights which we all remember. In the Wooster game Jay Acosta was in fine form as shown by his performance when he retired 20 of a possible 21 batters. Ray Larkin, veteran pitcher, was exceptional in two games. In the second Wooster engagement he threw a one hitter; in the Millbrook encounter, a two hitter. Phil Haughey and Bobby Martin were the steady spark of the nonet; the former allowing only one stolen run at home plate and accumulating ten R. B. I.'s while the latter, besides his sparkling game at second base, led the team in batting. Tony Leeds provided a most unexpected and delightful surprise by hitting a double and a home run to win the Canterbury game almost single-handed. Other outstanding contributors to the 1953, 7 and 6 season were Ken Palmer in centerfield, Howie Teter at third, Gil Stannard at shortstop, and Ted Lane in right. The outlook for next year is very bright according to Coach Jack Karpoe. He feels confident that if the remaining lettermen, all but four, continue to improve, next year's team will be even better. 69 VARSITY TRACK-1953 WITH old reliables such as Caruso, Daniels, Adams, Hunsicker, Lydon, Orton and Torres returning for the 1953 season, T-P's Cindermen were augmented by the advent of fleet-footed Ray Hostetter in the short distance and broad jump events, Ray Kisonas supplementing Hunsicker in the weight-heaving department, and Alex Kerr adding to the high jumping strength. A problem that had to be overcome by Coach Darling before the Invitational—the season's big meet—was one of inexperience and lack of balance, though bad weather hampered available practice sessions. Though the team was completely outclassed in the Invitational meet, Ray Hostetter turned in an excellent individual performance, setting a new meet record in the broad jump and placing second in the 100-yard dash. This, coupled with Adams’ and Kerr's tie for fourth place in the high jump, gave T-P a fifth place in the meet. In dual meet competition the team ran hot and cold. The season started with the team in high gear. They amassed three straight victories, vanquishing Hopkins, 46l 2-39 2� the Hotchkiss seconds, 63-41, and Trinity, 53-51. But then the tide changed and the squad lost the last three meets. They were beaten by Millbrook, 56-48, Berkshire, 76-28, and Canterbury, 56-48. At the close of the season, the team honored its outstanding competitor, Ray Hostetter, by electing him to the captaincy. Ray had added to the team's season by setting two school records—in the 100-yard dash (10.2) and in the 220-yard dash (23.2), and his election was appropriate and fitting.

TENNIS-1953 THE Varsity Tennis team of 1953, working under the fine coaching of Mr. Lawson, put forth one of T-P's best seasons with a seven win and two lose record. As usual, the tennis ladder yielded to quite a number of changes in rank before the season was officially under way. Veteran Varsity men appeared to constitute this year’s successful team. Barry Murtha held the key position for the second straight year with an unblemished record. Barry's adeptness for analyzing his opponent and ending the match quickly strengthened the team morale in all encounters. Laury Hunt moved from the fourth spot to occupy the assisting place undis-putedly. Craig Henzel, elected captain for the season, overcame his teammates to keep the third rung of the ladder. Tony Doyle, putting forth his best performance near the conclusion of the schedule, occupied the fourth slot. Immovable Peter Cornell continued to successfully defend his number five position all season. Phil Smith and John Coulter completed the team as sixth and seventh men respectively. Laury and Craig played number one doubles with Barry and Tony completing the second team. Usually Pete and Phil played third doubles when they were needed. Constant daily practice in the fundamentals reaped dividends for the T-P Gentlemen. Our net-men defeated Wooster, Gunnery, Hopkins Grammar, Millbrook, Trinity, Canterbury and Berkshire, dropping two to Taft and Kent. Taft, the toughest rival to the team, won 5V2 t0 Kent won by a narrower margin of 5 to 4. Trinity-Pawling has proven that it can produce a winning team almost every season. With the great interest here at school in tennis, the competition for the team will always be great. Those matches won this season were usually by a large-margin with a few complete routs. The school's schedule next year should be fruitful with the entire Varsity and Junior-Varsity squads returning. 71 THIRD TEAM FOOTBALL Front row, left to right— Hasselman, Matson.

With this providing the nucleus for Coach Webber's hoopsters, his team compiled a respectable record of eight wins and seven losses. The J. V.'s opened their season by squelching Gunnery in the waning minutes of the second half. From this seemingly bright start, the team dropped five in a row to Hopkins, Canterbury, Taft, Mil-brook and Hotchkiss. This poor beginning was deceiving because most of these games were lost by narrow margins of only two or three points. After this dismal start, Mr. Webber’s frivolous five,” keeping with the spirit of the weekend dance, commenced a five game winning streak by defeating the sharp-shooting Taft club. Another feather in their cap was the vanquishing of Canterbury for the first time since the inter-school series began. Suffering from the loss of Dick Melgard, who up until that time was the team's highest scorer, the spirited club went on to defeat Berkshire, Choate, Kent and Gunnery. The squad reached their zenith when they defeated a strong Kent team by over twenty points. In this game Mr. Webber's hoopsters handled the ball, rebounded and shot more accurately than at any other time during the season. The J. V.’s winning streak was broken by Wooster in the last minute of a hard-fought ball game. After temporarily cooling off,” the team ended their season by beating Hotchkiss and Berkshire. The success of the J. V. team can be attributed to: the able coaching of Mr. Webber; the rebounding of Mike Martocci, Craig Henzel, Bob Scott and Howard Teter; the scoring of Tony Doyle and Andy Fisher; the backcourt play of Bill Van Rensselaer and David Allmeyer; and the enthusiastic bench consisting of Mike Shepard, Steve Heffering and Don Fielding.

But not so with The Courant because during 1952 it was among a handful of top leaders of American and Canadian newspapers in gains in both circulation and advertising. The reason?
