Elliott, who has given to us the desire and encouragement to succeed in all our endeavors and has made us realize and appreciate the finer and more intellectual aspects of our lives. He has shared all our problems with warm understanding and it has been through his help that we have gained the knowledge, maturity and spirit to move forward in life. Mr. John k. Klliott One must always strive for perfection, for life holds no greater interest than incessant struggle. It is with this thought in mind that the senior class has distinguished itself. We have reached the zenith of our preparatory school career, and in our approach to this point we have tried to exemplify gentlemanly behavior and Christian living, the requisites for a happy and successful future.

In support of the former, the class contributed close to fifty dollars, and for the first time, received permission to institute a Junior Room among the school's recreational facilities. Turning to the academic outlook. Rob Myslik. Don Durbeck, Tuck Finch, and Kd Gulbenkian have consistently led the class with honor averages. while several others continually rivalled their positions. paper and yearbook: the “Times and the Trim-tannus. Finch and Banning have been “learning the ropes” of the paper for possible editorships next year, while Davis holds potential for the business manager for the yearbook. John Arthur was elected president of the Camara Club, and has organized it into an active function of the school, while Dave Crystal headed the Stamp and Coin Club. The latter presented a didactic, but informal, discussion of its purposes and achievements in addition to a fine display afterward. Rob Myslik. Rob De Viere. and Fred Young were elected by the form to represent it on the student council. Through their combined effort -. they have successfully led the juniors toward a good record here at T-P, and have shouldered many responsibilities, among them, supervising the fourth floor corridor. The form has added much to the school spirit, and has integrated its resources in many different ways. The Varsity Football Team offered some promising players for next years squad. Willi “Mouse” Hubbard playing four-back. John Bivins as an end. Pete Davis as one-back, and Marshall Paul also as a one-back, the school hopes to acquire a strong team. A second look in the sports field of T-P saw Rill Scully. Bob Myslik. and “Mouse Hubbard doing their part in holding together a fine Varsity Rasketball Team. Pete Davis and Jack Panning also saw a good season on first string Hockey, while Tuck Finch and F.d Gulbenkian showed great promise for next year s sw imming team. Various members of the form interested in the field of journalism joined the school s news- THIS year’s fourth form, the largest in Trinity-1. Pawling history, has within its ranks members who have contributed to every conceivable variety of activity. Although the number of “Greenhorns” greatly-surpassed the veterans, the class demonstrated its ability to draw itself together, hound by an abundant supply of school spirit. Academically, the honor roll was frequented by Bruce Hufline. Mike Albright, Chuck Walters, and Rene Maduro. After the school year had commenced, Dirk Schulze and Ted McEwen were elected to represent the form on the Student Council. Numerous sophomores displayed their talents in all types of athletics. Charles Turner. Chuck Freeman, and Dirk Schulze all played varsity football, the former two winning letters. Other footballers included Tom Wroldsen, Fraser Casey. Spence Eastman. Ken Rudolph. Jerry-Cole. Pete Bayer, Jon Van Akin. Mike Albright. Bruce Boyd, Hubie Mandeville. and Brad Ficken. Soceerwise. Jim Morison got a varsity letter, and Julian Lazar and Sandy Ensinger also played for the varsity. The bleak, wintry weather found both Eastman and Morison letter winners with the varsity hockey team. Casey, Turner. roldsen. and Rudolph were all starters for the J. V. basketball team. Sandy Ensinger backstroked his way to a varsity swimming letter. Miller, Albright and Ficken also were with the varsity for a while. The sophomores placed members in virtually all extra-curricular activities. By and large, the fourth form, whose members displayed their ability to fill a minute with sixty seconds worth of hard work, has the potential to develop into one of the finest graduating classes this school has ever known. 40 First row—Dickens, Huse, Morgan, Schulze, McEwen, Maduro, Wroldson, J.

When the twenty-one new boys arrived at Trinity-Pawling last Fall, the first question asked by returning upper formers was, W ill the Freshman class be good for the school? In answer to this challenge, the Third Formers enthusiastically decorated the walls of their rooms with everything from pennants and pinups to bullfighting posters. The next major accomplishment of the class was to elect Clark Curtis as their spokesman on the Student Council. When it came time to choose a fall sport, the majority of the class chose football. Hud Mereness split his time between the Varsity and J. . teams, while Clark Curtis and Hob Crowe did their share for the Third Team. Tom Higgs. Hod Webb and Hutch Collins were outstanding members of the J. V. soccer team. In the winter the class could boast its first Varsity letter winner in Tim Mahin. who earned his “T” in swimming. The Fourth Team Basketball was made up mostly of Freshmen, with Mereness and Curtis both tallying over one hundred points in the season. Higgs played first string goalie for the J. V. Hockey team and Fred Cartier filled in for him at the cage. On the academic side of the picture, the class proved very bright. Alan Mason led the class in grades. Steve Holton. Ted Truman and Hutch Collins were also consistently on the honor roll. The Third Formers were members of many outside activities, including the Choir, Debating, Chess, Camera. Hiflc. Stamp and Coin, Dramatics. and (Hee Club. During this year’s winter term the school sponsored a dance for the Freshmen. This was enjoyed very much by the class. Higgs was the chairman of the Dance Committee. Mr. Downies T. V. set and Parsek Daddy must be mentioned here to complete a picture of Freshman life. The Freshman class has made a good start this year by becoming an integral part of T-P s life. By continuing in this spirit, the class should go far in the years ahead. 44 PREFECTS THIS year’s prefects. Kit Rhodes. John ('.artier, 1 and John Parsek, under the excellent leadership of the Senior Prefect. Dave Coughlin, were in charge of the student government at Trinity-Pawling. They supervised work programs. cheeked chapel attendance, directed study halls and special help periods, and took charge of certain tables in the dining room. One of their most important functions was the running of the dormitory corridors. Each prefect was responsible for the behavior of the class assigned to him. The prefects also presided over the actions of the Student Council and Dance Committee. Dave Coughlin was president, and Kit Rhodes was vice-president of the Student Council. John Parsek was secretary of the organization. The Chairman of the Dance Committee was John Cartier. The principal tie between the administration and the student body has been through these four prefects. The prefects deserve much credit for the fine manner in which they capably carried out their responsibilities. 16 STUDENT COUNCIL First row Myslik. Curtis. J. Mason. Young. Thorpe.

At the beginning of X the year the voices sounded a bit weak, but by the end of the year, under the diligent direction of Mr. Eisler, those weak voices produced some of the better music put forth by T-P students. The choir had a concert with the Viewpoint School, and in addition to its Friday night rehearsals and Sunday Chapel appearances, often entertained the student body with informal song fests. DEBATING CLUB . Y7' ,4 m rHIS year, the Trinity-Pawling Debating Club held two interschool debates with Canterbury—one on the freshman level. The sharp wit of the Canterbury team edged out Trinity-Pawling in every debate. All the decisions, however, were very close. I nder the able leadership of Mr. Emerson, the Debating Club has provided for its members a valuable background in quick thinking and public speaking and has presented the student body with a source of entertainment that has been intellectually stimulating and amusing. 48 First row Jephson, Postel, Hallock, Durhock, Hodges, Merrill.

On February 18. the Club’s sixty-six members held their First concert with Viewpoint School for the benefit of the Sharon Hospital. The (dee Club elected as its president. Bill Merrill, who with the aid of Dennis Coyle, the vice-president, and Meade Geisel. the librarian, helped further the group’s activities. (■LEE CLUB IHE Trinity-Pawling Band, now in its third year of existence. has progressed rapidly in its endeavor to produce a Fine prep school band: thanks to the efforts of Mr. Eisler. its director, and the Father’s Association. This year, a dance band has also been formed with several accomplished musicians. This small group has contributed greatly to the spirit of the school as well as to the enjoyment of the students. 49 HAND First rcw—Banning. Ru-sell. Jephson. Albriphl. Ma.luro. Merrill.

Mr. Elliott, helped out. both in the tie auction and in the printing of the school calendar as well as doing much of the work of organizing and preparing the yearbook for press. Members of the staff sold refreshments at some of the home football and basketball games as a money making project. The tie auction was a real success and more money was made this year than ever before. Steve Jewett and Mr. Elliott were fine auctioneers and the bids soared. Printed on the school calendar, which came out during the winter term, was a picture of the new dormitory and a list of all the important events of the school vear. The yearbook photography was handled mainly by Conrad Chapelle, photography editor. Kit Rhodes, our able business manager, headed the drive for advertising and made certain that all the projects were carried out successfully. Every article in the Trinilannus was written by a member of the staff. The Trinilannus portrays all phases of school life from the individual senior write-ups through the smallest activity. The editor-in-chief has a most difficult job to do and John Salaverrv is to be commended for meeting every deadline in order that the book might be distributed on time. 50 First row—Curtis, Mariuro.

Major changes included a new glossy stock and a streamer head. Two new features articles were introduced this year. Stan Heath's “Campus Quotes, and “Around the Campus,” by John Hodges, proved enjoyable additions to the Times. John Bivins did a fine job writing his “Elsewhere” column, while Steve Jewett’s “Alumni News” was well supplied with the latest doings of former graduates. The staff consisted of many able and willing feature reporters. Among these were Jerry Mason. Bob De Viere. Dave Coughlin, Paul Miles and Alan Mason. The sports staff, headed by Toni Livaudais, and including as writers Bob Myslik. Ted Truman. John Turner. Spencer Kastman, and John Mott, covered all the school athletic contests. John Arthur and Steve Annis furnished many fine pictures. Mr. John Parsek. Sr., and Mr. George Turner, Sr., graciously donated their photoengraving services. Mr. Dann and Mr. Stokes willingly gave their services to the Times. Dennis Coyle, the business manager, and his assistant, Dave Crystal, obtained many advertisements which helped finance the paper. Dirk Schulze and his staff did a fine job handling the circulation of the Times. Two juniors, Tuck Finch and Jack Banning, are both competing for the editorship of next vear's paper. Both these boys have proved their worth, and the choice will be difficult for the Headmaster to make. 51 rNDER the supervision of Mr. Downie, the French Club had a successful and interesting year. Last Fall, the members elected John Salaverry as their president and Ceorge Jephson as vice-president. The aim of the French Club was to attain a better understanding of spoken French. French art songs by Edith PiafT and Jean Sablon were of help in accomplishing this aim. New members: F inch, Bivins, Coyle. Hagaman. Kelley, Hasselman, and Hedges, our exchange student from Fmgland. increased the membership to thirteen. FRENCH (LIB THIS year the Rifle Club embarked on a new campaign to amelio-l rate the poor firing conditions on the range. I nder the able supervision of President Jim Turner and his brother Charlie, who served as secretary and treasurer, the club covered all windows and cracks for better lighting in addition to providing wood for the furnace. As the year progressed, the team competed twice with various other schools. Although never taking first place, these meets added much to its prestige. RIFLE CLUB First row—Coyle.

SPANISH CLUB THE “Cura De Fspanol. under the a 1 le guidance of Mr. Tirrell. 1 helped propagate a keen interest in Spanish. The purpose of this year’s Spanish Club was to provide, for its members, an understanding and appreciation for the life and customs of the Spanish speaking peoples. Under the direction of President Palaez, the twelve members of the club held meetings every other Friday night. The highlight of the season was the Spanish play which everyone enjoyed. The Spanish Club looks back with pleasure upon a most enjoyable year. UNDER the leadership of chairman John Cartier, the dance committee did a fine job preparing for the social functions arranged by the Student Council. The committee decorated and prepared for the various interschool dances as well as for the Spring and Midwinter dances. Much credit is due the individual members of the dance committee for their fine work in making all dances at T-P a success. These members were: John Parsek. Kit Rhodes. Bill Merrill. Tony Livau-dais.

Although the boys didn’t | erform loo often in public, they all agreed that they had a wonderful time standing around the piano singing such old favorites as “Jeannie With The Light Brown Hair.” “The Drinking Song from the “Student Prince,” and “You’re Just in Love.” THIS year has been a most successful year for the Camera Club. Mr. Dann fur-X nished the (dub with equipment and material necessary for a well equip| ed darkroom and an efficiently functioning organization. The main activity this year was a photo contest which the club sponsored in April. This contest was not confined solely to members of the Camera Club, but was open to the entire student body. During most of the meetings developing, printing, and many photographic techniques were discussed. The membership, consisting of twenty boys, was the largest in the school’s history. The club dues were used to purchase chemicals and printing paper. Messrs. Heidenburg and Klinger were the club advisors.

Nearly I all boys of the Episcopal faith were regular servers at the week-day evening service. A communion service was held every other Sunday morning before breakfast, at which head acolyte John Salaverry. John Parsek. Julian Lazar. Dirk Shultz, and Kurt Johnson served. John Salaverry acted as acolyte for the Sunday afternoon services. Aside from having the privilege of serving, the Acolytes Gulid helped to bring the chapel services closer to the daily life of the students of all faiths. 'THIS sprng over Fathers’ Week-end. the Trinity-Pawling (dee Club, under the I direction of Mr. Paul Eisler, presented Gilbert and Sullivan s “The Mikado. This humorous operetta satirizes tlu English nobility of Gilbert and Sullivan s day. and takes place in Japan. It concerns the love affairs and political scandals of comical and proud Japanese lords. Although “The Mikado is generally thought to be humorous, it has many serious numbers which are quite beautiful. The success of this presentation was due largely to the fine directing of Mr. Eisler. and the cooperative spirit of both faculty and boys. Much credit should be given to those who held major parts and also to the members of the chorus for their strong support. “The Mikado” is the third in a series of Gilbert and Sullivan operettas which have been presented by the ( lee Club on Lathers Week-ends.

Head Coarli Jack Karpoe saw many of his veterans returning. With six letter-men. four of them as .starters. Trinity-Pawling looked as though it had a good nucleus for a successful season. In returning linemen Neil Postel and Steve Jewett as tackles. Don Mosley and Charles Turner at guard. T-P had the makings of a strong forward wall. The hack-field also posed little problem with Kit Rhodes at tail-hack and Hill Merrill at right half. The squad inherited many promising candidates—composed chiefly of last year’s J-V squad and several newcomers. During preliminary practice coaches Dunbar and karpoe worked hard to fill the places of the seniors who had graduated. Soon the new T-P squad began to take sha|� e with a good outlook for the future. During the week before the first game with Kent, the team spirit was very high. It was a gloomy Saturday evening, however, when T-P’s '■fighting Gentlemen returned from Kent having lost their first encounter by a score of 33-0. Hill Merrill received Kent - opening kickoff and relumed the hall to the T-P 40. On the third down, it was T-P’s misfortune to fumble the hall and Kent quickly took advantage by scoring on the next series of downs. From then on. it was quite evident that it would he a rough afternoon. In the second and third | eriods it was obvious that Kent had the superior team. In the final |� eriod the “Fighting Gentlemen came to life, sparked b Salaverry's quick runs and the fine play of game captain Rhodes, and Merrill, who brought the hall deep into Kent territory as the game ended. 'Fhe following Saturday, October 8. T-P was host to Gran well. T-P’s offense was sparked by fine line blocking and good offensive running. As the quarter ended. Rhodes scored, but the needed conversion by Pete Van Akin failed. In the second period. Cranwell began moving the hall toward T-P’s goal, hut fine defense play on the part of Rob Tolle and Neil Postel stopped the drive. T-P then taking possession of the ball, moved fifty yards on a pass from Rhodes to Salaverry for the second score of the afternoon. Again the attempted conversion was unsuccessful. In the third quarter a long run by Rhodes, great drives by Hubbard, and fine tackles by the defensive team provided good football for the fans. In the last quarter, scintillating runs by game captain Merrill, and Salaverry set up a touchdown drive for Kit Rhodes. Good blocking was a big factor as Postel. C. Turner. Hagaman. Coughlin, Mosley, and Parsek First row—Mosley. Hermann. Postel. G. Turner, Young, Rhodes, Captain: Tolle, Parsek, Coughlin. J. Cartier, Heath. Second row—J. Turner, Bivins. Paul, Crosby, Merrill.

Manager. opened all ihe important holes in the Cranwell line. “Karpoe’s Kids. seeking their second victory, had to wail for the flood waters to subside before travelling to Hopkins. In spite of the wet field. Kit Rhodes and “Terrible” Tolle managed to score. In the first quarter. Hopkins fumbled several times. Rhodes intercepted a pass on the five yard line and ran the length of the field to score. Steve Jewett converted. In the second period. Hopkins, hit hard bv the T-F defense, fumbled. After a 15 yard run by Armitage. Tolle scored on a quarterback sneak. Jewett again converted. On the next play. Steve Jewett, lineman, was taken out of the game with a knee injury to remain on the bench for the rest of the season. In the third period the ball changed hands several times but neither team was able to score. In the final quarter Salaverrv and Armitage made fine runs. Game captain Neil Postel did an outstanding job on both offense and defense. Don Mosley, Steve Jewett, and J. Cartier also deserve much credit for a well-played game. The I-P team proved to be superior as thev won their second victory. T-P’s next opponent was the Hackley School. All the action in the first quarter was concentrated in Hackley territory. TP's first touchdown came after Dave Coughlin blocked a Hack-ley punt and recovered on the twenty-two yard line. On the next play Kit Rhodes threw a pass to Stan Heath in the end zone for the score. The extra point was unsuccessful as Kit Rhodes was stopped on the one inch line. In the next period most of the play was confined to T-F territory. A good pass defense stopped Hackley cold. In the final half the ball exchanged hands several times. The last two touchdowns were scored on long runs by Kit Rhodes and “Mouse Hubbard, with Hubbard also scoring an extra point on a run. Good games were played on the line, both on offense and defense by C. Turner. John Farsek, Rob Tolle, and Don Mosley. 60 The “Fighting Gentlemen” of T-P suffered their second defeat of the season at the hands of Suflield Academy. Suffield scored in the first period by returning a punt for a touchdown. T P’s defense, sparked by Mickey Herman's sharp tackling, was strong, but could not hold against the strong Suflield drives. Immediately after the start of the second period. Kit Rhodes suffered a hack injury and was unable to finish the game. The final score of the game was Suffield 19 and T-P 0. The final game of the season was played on a wet and muddy field against Gunnery. The traditional rally was highlighted by a reading entitled “What a Football Player Is. In the beginning, and all through the game. Karpoe's Kids’ knew that they had to play their best, because for many this would be the last time they would be wearing the Blue and Gold. The first period showed little moving of the ball due to great defensive play by both teams, and not until the end of the period was there any action. Then Fred Crosby ran for 35 yards but the Blue and Gold couldn't score. The second period was culminated by the first touchdown of the game when John Salaverry burst into the open on a 45 yard run. Fine defensive play on the part of game captain Merrill arid Neil Postel gave T-P the edge as the Blue and Gold were now an inspired team. Kit Rhodes, who was voted the captain of the year and most valuable player, was waiting on the side lines as John Salaverry again scored to win the game. 12-7. This year’s team, although not as strong as in previous years, showed an outstanding record of four wins and two losses..

Reporting to the squad were eight letter-men and approximately eleven newcomers. The cutting of the squad was completed early in the season, and long Indore the game the actual Varsity team to represent T-P was chosen and positions were appointed. The team as a unit was one of the most active that the school had ever seen. The defensive work of the half-backs and the full-backs kept the team spirit high. Our line, consisting of three returning lettermen and two newcomers, was well organized and aggressive. The defensive plays, coupled with the offense given by the half-hacks. seemed to give the team the necessary push that was evident in its games. Fine defensive work was also done by two veteran full-hacks. who many times saved the efforts of their teammates. Playing goalie. Gonzalez, a returning letterman. turned in an excellent job of protecting nets and in the last game gave up his position to play full-back. The starting team consisted of eleven men. five on the offensive line and fixe on the defensive line, with one goalie. The center man of the SOCCER forward line uas Dick Carnesale. a veteran from last year's team. Dick was responsible for setting up and controlling the offensive. Gerry Helnile. brought up from last year's J.V., was a great asset to the team, as he covered the position of right wing. On the opposite wing was Ed Gulbenkian. our high scoring man of the season. Defensively, the half-backs controlled the area behind the forward line. Boh Myslik. a newcomer from Trinity, did an exceptional job at left half-back during the entire season. Boh was aided on the right side by Jim Morison. one of last year's J.V. starters. 1 A_ f:: of center half-back was Jerry Mason, veteran of last year s team. Jerry served as pivot man on the defense, organizing and calling defensive plays. At full-hack positions were Jack Walsh and John Hitchcock. who were responsible for fine defensive teamwork. Both men were veterans, and they showed their experience with exact positioning and teamwork. Having prepared as much as they could, the team left for their first away game of the season. Berkshire played host to the “Fighting Gen- 62 03666288 tlemen.” The captain of the first game was Jerry Mason, center half-hack. The team was well set for the Berkshire squad as the game started. The play was fast and active. Berkshire scored early in the game. T-P fought hard, but was scored upon two more times before the half time. John Mott and Stu Dempsy took the hall up field but were unable to pierce the strong Berkshire defense. T-P's defense fell as Berkshire scored twice in the second half: the score remained 5-0. T-P then encountered a strong Canterbury team. It was a hot afternoon as the game captain. Dick Carnesale. kic ked off. The game got off to a fast start as both offensive teams were slopped by defensive action. It was in the first half that Canterbury’s Thielen scored on a corner kick. The first half ended with I-P in a losing position. Then T-P scored a lucky kick off the foot of a Canterbury fullback. The score was tied up 1-1 as John Mott and Jerry Helmle again tried to score. It was the fine defensive play by Bob Myslik. Jim Morrison and Kd Gonzalez that held Centerbury to a one point score. As is the custom at T-P. the team elects a captain for the year. The honor was given to the center halfback. Jerry Mason. This meant that he would be captain for the last game of the season. With only two days’ practice the T-P team was ready to play Gunnery. The last game of the season was played before a fine crowd of students, masters and parents. As the pre-game warm up ended. Mason discussed team line-ups with referees and the Gunnery captain. T-P chose to kick off and defend the east goal. Bill Scully was switched to goalie position. Walsh had a recurrence of a knee injury and had to sit on the benc h. T-P started the game with an offensive action that put the ball deep in Gunnery territory. This was maintained throughout the entire first half as T-P failed to score. Fine offensive plays were shown by Ed Culbenkian who was continually shooting at the Gunnery nets, although he failed to score. Gunnery was unable to get into scoring position during the first half due to not only the fine defensive play by Morison, Mason and Myslik but also to the full-backs Hitchcock and Gonzalez who broke up many plays. Bill Scully played a remarkable game as goalie during the first half. In the second half Gunnery started a heavy offensive action which was stopped due to the strong T-P defense. John Mott and Dick Carnesale helped out in the forward part of the line by stopping some of Gunnery’s attacks before they could get started. Gerry Helmle poured perfect passes into the center from the right throughout the game but T-P was unable to score during the first and second quarters. The game was being controlled by T-P until c c Gunnery on a quick break away scored a goal. T-P defense was caught off guard as Fields came up the center to score. Bill Scully made a beautiful dive but was uanble to stop the ball in time. Again T-P took the offense but was unable to score in the final minutes. Final score. Gunnery 1—T-P 0. These will be returning lettermen: George Logan, fullback: John Arthur, halfback; Ted McEwen. fullback: and also many of those that are on this year’s team. The team will be strong offensively and defensively next year. The coaching was by Mr. Richardson, an ex-Harvard player. He gave the team fine pointers and good encouragement from the bench. Mr. Richardson was responsible for selecting the winner of the Mid-Century Soccer Trophy. The honor was given to last year's winner. Jerry Mason. 63 First row Banning. Ilagaman.

VARSITY HOCKEY THE varsity hockey squad, under the direction J. of Messrs. Newman and Kiehardson. started its season at West Point in a four team tournament during the Christmas Vacation. The first opponent the team encountered was a powerful Salisbury team. The members of the squad had never played together, and due to this lack of practice, lost 4 0. The next team to be played was St. Sebastian. This group of Bostonians won the tournament after beating T-P by the slim margin of 5 3. Improvement was already quite evident in the team work of the Trinity-Pawling sextet. The third and final game of the round-robin tournament was played against the Plebes of West Point. At this point the coordination and spirit of the “Fighting Gentlemen” showed itself and Pawling beat the Plebes 6 3. High scorers for the games were Kelley. Geisel. Banning, and Davis with two goals each. Both Bill Merrill and John Salaverry gave a fine exhibition of goal-tending. In the first game of the regular season the team once again met the Salisbury club, and again went down in defeat, although the boys made a better showing than on the previous occasion. The team made a few mistakes and the Salisbury team, capitalizing on the errors, won 4-1. 64 Millbrook and (Canterbury were both defeated by the now stronger T-F team. Millbrook lost 7-0. and in this game Fred Crosby pulled the first and only “hat trick of the season. Canterbury was defeated 5-2. on the home ice. Kelley and Geisel were outstanding in this latter game. The team next played host to Gunnery, who. though weak in their earlier encounters, turned out to be the “dark horse” of the league. The score of the first encounter was 5-1 in favor of T-F. The team's next game was with Millbrook. the beginning of the second round in their bid for the league championship. The team, on home ice. kept the pressure on for the entire game and won by the score of 4 0. The following Saturday being an open date, the West Point Flebes asked the team over for a scrimmage. The team, playing one of the best games of the season. swamj ed the Flebes by a score of 10-1. T-F was matched next against a much improved Gunnery team, and just managed to squeak out a 3-3 tie. Hope of winning the league became dim. but three days later Gunnery beat Salisbury so T-F was only one point out of first place. At this point the ice began to melt and game after game, including Berkshire and Hotchkiss, was postponed. The next scheduled game was with Salisbury but neither team had any ice. Since this game was to determine the league championship, it was played on Canterbury’s artificial rink. Neither team had skated for nearly a week, consequently. the game was very sloppy in the first period. Then the Salisbury passing started to click and the final two periods saw the “Fighting Gentlemen ' thoroughly outclassed and beaten by a score of 4-0. The next and final game in league competition was with a greatly improved Canterbury squad. T-F still did not have any ice but this did not lower the spirit of the “Fighting Gentlemen” and they went into the game eager to win. Canterbury. however, had the same idea and beat the hard fighting pucksters by the score of 8-2. The final game was scheduled to be played here at Pawling but since there was still no ice. it was played the following Monday night against Kent. away. The boys, as a team, played possibly one of their best games of the season but were completely outclassed by a more experienced Kent team. Much gratitude is due both Mr. Newman and Mr. llichardson for the time and effort, which they expended on behalf of the team. 65 hirst row—Heath. Tliorpc. J. Mason, Rhodes, Myslik. Huhhard. Second row—Parsek. Bivins. Scully. Mr. Karpoe. Coach: Hermann. Captain: Rose. Chappclle. Manager. VARSITY BASKETBALL 1C KARPOK was forced to organize a new team for this season, the main force of the “big live” having graduated last year. The only two returning letternien were Both guards: Kit Rhodes and “Mouse” Huhhard. There was a total of twelve men on the varsity squad. This consisted of live newcomers to I he school this year: Hill Scully. Stan Heath. Mickey Hermann. Hay Thorpe, and Bob Myslik. Mr. Karpoe had good material in the new men. such as Hermann. Myslik and Scully. The practice sessions were not long in the lie-ginning of the season because of the uncertainty as to team standings. As soon as possible, the varsity was picked and it remained the same throughout the year. It was a well organized learn and had live offensive and defensive possibilities. Scully and Thorpe, or Heath, tilled the forward positions. They were well supported by the line scoring ability of Scully and Heath. I he three guards. Rhodes. Myslik. and Hubbard, were consistent throughout the season on scoring and team play. “Mouse” Hubbard improved enough to become one of the “big live, toward the season's end. because of his line jump shots. Rhodes played a line season on scoring, with 00 fast drives through the middle and consistent set shooting from the outside. The center position of the team was held throughout the season by Mickey Hermann, a newcomer this year. Mickey played his position well, with fine scoring and good rebound work. He achieved the highest scoring in several years for a single game, with 29 points against Hotchkiss. John Parsek was unable to play, but remained with the team to keep records, which were vitally needed and also to lend his hearty support. As a result, substitutes Jack Ross, Jerry Mason, and John Bivins were relayed in and out of play throughout the season. Beginning their heavy schedule of twenty-one games. Trinity-Pawling “Hoopsters played three before leaving for Christmas vacation. The first game of the season saw the ’Tight-ing Gentlemen'’ facing the relatively strong Peekskill Military Academy five on the home court. Under the leadership of game captain Kit Rhodes. T-P slowly pulled out in front of P.M.A. The first quarter score showed I P with a two point edge over the visitors. 12-10. By the end of the second quarter, Trinity-Pawling, led by Mickey Hermann’s scoring attack, and excellent defensive play by the whole team, was ahead. 27-15. The second half was anti-climactic, with T-P further enlarging its lead. A concerted scoring drive in the fourth quarter by the visitors came too late, and T-P chalked up its first victory in a scheuled game. The following Wednesday, the T-P five journeyed to Gunnery for its second game of the season. Despite a slippery court, and hard-fighting opposition, the Trinity-Pawling men won an easy victory of 56-45. A few days later, the T-P team went on to Williamstown for its game with the William-College Freshmen Team. Completely overpowered by a much taller and stronger team, we fell far behind in the beginning of the game. In two separate rallies, one in the second quarter ami one in the third. T-P came close to Wil- 67 liams, but never quite caught up. The bout ended in a 75-54 defeat for Trinity-Pawling. Following the Christmas vacation, the squad played host to the Hopkins Grammar Team from New Haven. Connecticut. The game started off well for Trinity-Pawling, as they kept the lead until an unfortunate 17-17 tie at the end of the first quarter. The Blue and Cold, with Hermann and Rhodes leading, came back fast to take the lead at the half. Scully and Hubbard were out in front in scoring to bring about a final score of 65-52. an easy victory for T-P. The Gentlemen next took on Canterbury, away, and the following week played Taft. These were important games to the team, for they were to decide the League Standing of T-P. Away at Canterbury, the team suffered its first loss in Tri-State league ball. This game was held on a foreign court, and the Blue and Gold failed to hold fast during a fatal overtime, losing. 65-63. At Taft, the varsity received another blow as it met wtih a strong Taft Five at Watertown. The Taft team was decidedly better because of height advantages. T-P opened to lead the Bed and Black, but soon lost this favorable position through several poor plays. From that point on. the home team remained in the lead and finally won the game. In our next game. Kent played host to Trinity-Pawling on their home court. From the beginning. T-P had an advantage over the Kent club by scoring quickly. The varsity remained out in front, and were never in danger of being beaten. High scoring honors went to Micky Hermann, with 23 points in the game. At this time, the team had held a position of second in the Tri-State League. The five hoped to win the remaining games and knock Taft off the top position. These were decisive games, and Mr. Karpoe's boys were determined to win them. First-place Taft came to play T-P on the Dance Weekend, our last meeting. The situation was tense throughout the game, as Trinity-Pawling slowly gained the lead. As the final buzzer drew near. Taft began to put on another offensive movement. The score changed quickly, bringing them in range for a possible tie ball game. The buzzer rang as the score read 49-50, T-P. but. unfortunately, there had been a deliberate foul called just before the buzzer. The two shots were attempted by Pales of Taft, who scored them, thereby letting Taft steal the game with a score of 51-50. At this point in the season. T-P found itself with a record of seven and five for the year. In quick succession. Berkshire and Cant rebury fell to the “Rampaging Gentlemen”: 60-56. and 64-46 respectively. Saturday night. February 13. T-P went to Hartford for its second game with a college team. The Trinity College Frosh defeated our five man delegation 84-46. Two weeks later, on the home court, the “Fighting Gentlemen defeated our arch rival. Gunnery, by the lop-sided score of 74-37. At Suffield. T-P dropped another game, this time by a score of 53-35. Winning over Hotchkiss and Berkshire. Trinity-Pawling finished the year with a 14-7 overall record, and a 9-3 record in the Tri-State League, placing us in second position for the year. 68 hirst row Wilson, Tolle, Coyle, J.

VARSITY SWIMMING THE Trinity-Pawling varsity swimming team I completed the best season in the history of the school, finishing with a record of five wins and two losses. Although missing several of last year’s graduates, the T-P tanksters exemplified what hard work can accomplish by more than making up for the loss. Opening against Peekskill Military Academy, the swimmers were overwhelmed by the potent P.M.A. squad, 51-26. However, the many | er-formances in this meet gave hints as to the potential of the squad. After two weeks of practice, the swimming team met Peekskill High School, and vanquished them 45-32. Further strengthened, the “mermen” swamped a weak Hopkins Grammar squad 58-19. This decisive victory showed the increased depth of the team as Pawling captured every event. Again the squad improved, as the swimmers romped over the Hotchkiss seconds by a score of 50-27. Suffering their second defeat of the season, the Trinity-Pawling swimmers were narrowly nosed out by a powerful Canterbury squad. 41-36. The Cantabs gained their victory in the medley relay event in which T-P lost by a touch. Nevertheless, many swimmers turned in their best times of the season under close competition. Bouncing back, the T-P tanksters defeated a slow Hackley squad 49-19. another decisive victory. Again victorious, the Trinity-Pawling swimmers swamped Cheshire Academy, 52-25. Trinity’s strength proving no match for the inex-! erienced Cheshire team. At the Trinity Interscholastics in Hartford, plagued by a bad day which affects the best of teams, the outclassed Pawling contingent was shut out by other swimming powers. The highest point scoter was David Coughlin, the senior prefect. A consistent winner in the 10 yard and 100 yard freestyle events, his times improved greatly by the end of the season. A 69 record holder in I he 100 yard freestyle event for a 20 yard pool, he swam the event in 57.5 seconds, an improvement of over two seconds since the season's start. A hard working member of the team since 1954. he was elected to a well deserved captainship. He was also a member of the record breaking 160 yard freestyle relay team which established the new mark at 1:21.4. Graham Bailey, the junior sprint specialist, was another member of the relay team. He lowered the school record for the 50 yard freestyle sprint to 25.7 seconds. He. too. improved his time by two seconds as the season progressed. Another fine sprinter. Edward Gulbenkian. was a frequent winner in the 40 yard dash and the 120 yard individual medley. He also swam well for the relay teams. Dennis Coyle, long distance freestvler. lowered his school record in the 200 yard freestyle to 2:16.1. Hawkins also swam the individual medley. Peter Hawkins, discovered late in the season, developed into a fine swimmer at the season’s end. He should improve considerably on his time of 1:30.1 by next year. Due to new rules, the 180 yard three man medley relay was changed to a 160 yard event, comprised of four entries: hack stroke, orthodox breast stroke, butterfly, and freestyle. An entry of Finch. Wilson. Turner, and Coughlin established a new record with a time of 1:40.0 second. This same team, with Meighan alternating for Coughlin, swam the 200 yard medley in 2:07.3. Backstroker Finch, in his third year of varsity swimming, broke the school record for the 100 yard distance three times, lowering it to 1:04.9. This was an improvement of almost six seconds over last year's best. A bad turn disqualified him at the Interscholastics; otherwise. he qualified for the finals in third place. John Turner, also returning for the third year, swam many fine races in the 100 yard butterfly. His best time was a fine 1:11.0. An indispensable member of the team, his loss will he keenly felt when he graduates. Richard Mann, the team’s utility freestvler. swam many fine races, winning several in the 200 yard distance. Much can be expected of him by next season. Sophomore Sandy Ensinger made tremendous improvement, splashing to a fine time of 1:15.2 seconds in the 100 yard backstroke at the season’s end. JefT Meighan. 200 yard and relay man. did well, and contributed much to the team by his spirit and drive. A freshman. Timothy Mahin. set a new school diving record. A frequent winner, his fine form outclassed that of most of his competitors. As he improves, champion performances can be expected. Seniors Robert Tolle and Henry Locke also aided the team in the diving events. The team will be weakened by the loss of Coughlin, Coyle, Turner. Tolle. and Locke. However. the majority of the team is returning next year. With Culhenkian. Bailey and Mann doing freestyle. Finch and Ensinger doing hack stroke, and Mahin as the diver, another excellent season is in prospect. VARSITY rp HE 1955 varsity baseball team enjoyed the X second best baseball season in T-P history. Ably coached by Messrs. Karpoe and Newman, the T-P glovemen compiled eight wins against three losses. In the first game (after only three days of practice) T-P fought Salisbury to a 4-4 lie. T-P traveled to the Wooster School for the next game, and with hard hitting, swamped ooster 10-1. “Scooch Giagiari and Don Gus-tavson led the hitters. The next game also was away, with Taft playing host to T-P. Don Fielding pitched an exceptionally good game and the “Fighting Gentlemen ' won their second game by a score of 4-1. The second home game of the year was played against Gunnery with T-P again coming out on lop of a 5-5 score. Jack Hose pitched a fine game, striking out 14 men. T-P played host to Canterbury in the next game with “Scooch Giagiari connecting for the first “round trip of the season. Christopher Hhodes came through in the clutch to connect with a single, driving in Fitzgerald with the winning run. T-P traveled to St. Peters where they defeated the home team 5-0. This w'ell played BASEBALL game was Jack Hose's first shutout. Don Guslav-son led the T-P squad with three runs batted in on two base hits. T-P played next at Kent, where they lost their first game of the season. Sparked by three hits in the second inning the “Fighting Gentlemen failed to take advantage of their scoring opportunities. Neil Postel knocked in the only T-P run with a double, scoring Dave Allmeyer. The team suffered their second defeat during the Dance Weekend, being beaten by Hopkins Grammar, 6-5. Although Harry Shaw led the team with his defensive play, T-P failed to take advantage of their scattered hits. Our team played host to Trinity School on T-P’s annual Field Day. with Miles Hubbard pitching his first game of the season. Although T-P failed to hit. Trinity School did quite well, winning the game. 6-4. During Father’s Weekend. T-P played host to Cranwell. Dave Allmeyer. catching a very consistent game behind the plate, came through with a sharp single to right field. The rest of T-P s squad, however, failed to follow through on their hitting and the game was lost, 6-2. Next. Hotchkiss played host to the home team. Kit Hhodes made four hits.

Ho| es for relating last year’s record were high. In a pre-season meet with Carmel High School. T-P emerged victorious. Our first home meet was the Trinity Invitational. Out of the eight schools participating in this meet, T-P was leading until the last few events when Horace Mann pulled out ahead to win the meet. Stony Brook, having won the meet for the past three years, finished second by heating T-P by only one-half a point. The highlight of the meet was a quarter mile run in which Caines from T-P and Wilson of Hackley ran a very exciting race, setting a new meet record of 53.0 for Gaines, and 53.6 for Wilson. Traveling next to Berkshire, our cindermen pulled through in the closest match of the year which was 531 -501 2. Going into the last event, the 880 yard relay, we were behind by two points. The school relay team consisting of Driscoll, Gaines, Moeller and Salaverry had to take the race if we were to win the meet. Every man on the relay team was pressed, and going into the last stretch, anchor man Salaverry was in a dead heat with his opponent until the last few vards when he surged ahead to win. Our next meet was with the Hotchkiss seconds whom we defeated 70 $-33 . Luce captured first place in three events which were highlighted by his 10.4 time for the hundred yard dash. In the last meet of the year at T-P. our team heat Canterbury 62l 2-41V2 Gaines set two new records in this last meet: the 440 (51.3) and the 880 ( 2:06.9). Luce gathered first in the high jump I.S'R ) and in the discus (]35 10V(j I • Spach also took a first, throwing the shot 42 % . Driscoll’s broad jump measured 19'4 . Although not repeating last year's record, the team had a very successful season. George Luce, the high scorer with a total of 115[ points, was elected captain for the 1955 season. As in last year's season, many of the meets were won by the relay team consisting of Richard Driscoll. Clark Moeller. Richard Gaines and John Salaverry. but in reality the winning season was due to the aggressiveness of all. Much appreciation should he extended to Mr. Elliott and Mr. Higgins for their splendid coaching. 72 VARSITY TENNIS rjlHK varsity tennis squad of 1955. while not JL the powerful and undefeated squad of last year, had one of T-P’s best seasons with an eight and four record. Moving up from last year’s positions were Laury Hunt. John ('artier, and Tony Doyle, who look over first, second and third positions, respectively. Peter Barnes and Andy Fisher, having had some experience during the 1954 season, were added to the varsity team as starters. The rest of the team was composed of our exchange student. Boh Kouquette and two new juniors, John Mott and Mac Wilson. During the season. Hunt, the team’s captain, played good tennis, losing only three early matches. Doyle contributed a fine ten and two singles record. The most improved member of the team was a junior, John ('artier. Laury Hunt and Tony Doyle, making up the first doubles team, had a very successful season winning most of the scheduled games, while John Cartier and Boh Kouquette. playing second doubles, did equally well. Their victories proved decisive in winning matches thoughout the year. Because of wet courts, little practice was held before the first two matches of the season, thus the team got off to a had start. The early matches of the season were lost to Kent. Hotchkiss. and Gunnery, all by the close score of 5 4. The only other loss of the season was from a strong Scarborough team. After these early losses, the team began a long winning streak by defeating Taft. Haekley. Hopkins, Trinity. Canterbury, South Kent, and Berkshire. “The outlook for next year’s team is very bright.” said (loach Frazier Stokes. He feels that this year’s juniors. Cartier, Wilson, and Mott, will form the basis of the 1956 squad. Many contributions will he made to the first squad next year by the steady improvement of junior varsity players Davis. Crystal, Bailey, and Meighan. Special credit should he bestowed upon the managers as well as coaches Stokes and Emerson who helped make this season a successful one. Wilson, Kouquette, Karnes.

FOOTBALL COACHED by Mr. Newman, the J.V. football team of 55 brought its season to a close with a record of two wins and three losses. Gaining valuable experience in the first two games, the team steadily improved as the season wore on. The team lost its opening game to Canterbury. 27-7. Canterbury, controlling the hall most of the game, scored in each quarter. In the fourth quarter. T-F scored its only touchdown on a ten yard pass from LeGost to Wilson. Locke kicked the extra point. Next came a 13-0 loss to Gunnery. T-F received the kick off but was unable to move the ball. Gunnery took possession and marched for a touchdown. Neither team could move the hall until the third quarter, when Gunnery scored their second touchdown. The J.V.’s defeated St. Peter’s Varsity. 19-13. Following a St. Peter's score in the first quarter. T-F. sparked by Swayne’s hard running. marched to the eight yard line, f rom here. il-son scored on a short pass. St. Peter s scored their second touchdown on a blocked kick. In the second half. T-F received the kick off and marched 65 yards to score on a pass from LeGost to Casey. In the fourth quarter.

BASKETBALL rPHK 1956 J.V. basketball team emerged from its campaign with a 6-12 record; a record not truly indicative of its ability. The team began its season with a 37-22 victory over Peekskill Military Academy, but dropped the second game to Gunnery in a close tussle. 46-42. This loss started a losing streak which saw the J.V.s bow before Hopkins. Canterbury. Taft. ooster. Hotchkiss, and Choate in that order. Their losing streak was then snap| ed with a 47-33 victory over Kent. They beat Taft in their next game 46-22. thus avenging an earlier 30 point loss. In the following game with Canterbury. the “Fighting Gentlemen avenged their earlier loss with a 40-20 victory. After this three game winning streak, the team found the going tough and dropped the next two contests to Choate and Kent in close decisions. Then they reversed a previous decision by edging out Gunnery, 42-40. With only three games remaining they bowed to Suflield and Hotchkiss in close thrillers, then bounced back to thoroughly trounce Berkshire. 42-28. At the close of the season John Agor was elected captain. Though John was not a high scorer be always played aggressively and was a good rebounder. The high scorer for the season was Fraser Casev. who with 183 points seems to be definite varsity material. Other contributors to the team's success were Wroldsen and Le Cost, who proved to be valuable play-makers; Charlie Turner, whose rebounding proved to be a tremendous asset and Fred Young, whose fake and drive routine added considerable pointage. Although the following did not always start, they gave their best whenever needed and proved an excellent reserve unit: John Hitchcock. Harry McGrade. John Mott. Marshall Paul. Ken Rudolph. George Turner, and James Turner. Steve Annis was the manager. 75 J. V. SOCCER Urst rou A. Mason. Price. Webh, Kelley, Captain: Johnson, Altson, Villepigue, Smith.
