Achieving fantastic grades, editing the school newspaper, or discussing the latest plays, A1 has galloped through four years at Trinity-Pawling leaving behind him many friends and admirers. His room is a haven for the newspaper staff trying to meet a deadline, for special help seekers confused by the elements of higher learning, and for an occasional erudite. A talented writer, A1 organized the staff of the school newspaper to work as a well oiled machine. Since he lives in Pawling and knows the local belles, A1 is the brunt of many jokes which he receives good-naturedly with a broad grin.

Nick has made himself a leader at Trinity-Pawling with his ready smile and casual good-nature. He was prefect of the freshman dormitory, and he instilled in the freshmen the same kind of respect and pride in the school that he has evidenced himself during his stay at Trinity-Pawling. A fierce competitor, Nick was out of athletics for a while because of a broken leg, but he returned this year to play for the J.V. football and Varsity hockey teams. As a cheerleader during the football season, Nick was able to incite spectators to cheer heartily for the Fighting Gentlemen . At home in Pelham, Nick is alleged to have quite a gay time romancing the many pretty girls in that particular town. McHutch” 1956 JAMES EDGAR McHUTCHISON 30 Duane Lane Demarest, N. J.

During his free time, Jim and many of his Johnson Hall companions hold forth on every subject from hockey to women. These discussions, on occasion, have developed into altercations which are the talk of the Senior Class. Throughout his three years here, Jim has contributed a great deal towards the education of the uninitiated. 19

 Rick 1957 RICHARD CHAPMAN LA PAN 20 Church Street Saranac Lake, N. Y. Soccer, J.V. 3, Varsity 4; Basketball, J.V. 3; Lacrosse 4; Project Group 3,4; Trinitannus 4; Mailman 4- Rick is one of the quietest members of the Senior Class. He is conscientious, hard-working and has that special drive that one finds in all successful people. This was especially evident in Rick's main athletic endeavor, soccer. He was a very effective utility man for the team; and when he was awarded his Varsity letter, the coach described him as the most versatile man on the squad. Rick’s earnest effort academically was recognized by acceptance at the college of his first choice, Franklin and Marshall. Rick’s one remaining desire is a new ’’Chewy’’ after graduation. Tim 1955 TIMOTHY MILLER MAHIN 257 Ocean Drive West Stamford, Conn. Football, Third Team 1, Captain 2, J.V. 3, Varsity 4; Swimming, Varsity 1, 2, 3, 4; Tennis, J.V. Captain I, 2, 3; Glee Club 2, 3, 4; Octet 3,4; Spanish Club 2,3, President 4- Tim has the distinction of being one of the class erudities. With his wide range of interests and extensive traveling, Tim can discuss, at a moment’s notice, the bullfights, the latest best-sellers, or the merits of the flamenco guitar, which he plays skillfully. His winning personality and clever wit make him a popular and respected member of the Senior Class. An accomplished athlete, Tim is a championship diver who broke many pool records. As a junior, Tim gained first place in the Trinity College Interscholastics diving competition. Tim is a capable and imaginative English student who, in many people’s opinion, will make a good author. Jeff” 1954 GEOFFREY THOMAS MARTIN 293 Manville Road Pleasantville, N. Y. Soccer, J.V. 1, 2, Varsity 3, 4; Swimming, J.V. 1, 2, 3, Varsity 4; Track, Varsity I; Rifle Club 2, 3; Glee Club 1, 2, 3, 4; Trinity-Pawling Times 4; Trinitannus 4. Jeff, who hails from Pleasantville, is a veteran at Trinity-Pawling. As is obvious from his record, he has participated in many activities, several of which he does very well. It seems from the amount of mail that Jeff receives from such places as Ithaca, Rye, Pleasantville, Stamford and especially Troy that he is a member of a Pen Pal's Club. Actually, however, it is his savoir faire with the gentle sex that makes him the happy recipient of these epistles. Jeff is potentially a capable student who should do very well at college. 18

 Jock 1957 JOHN ROBINSON MILLER, 111 18 Wellington Road Garden City, N. Y. Soccer, Varsity 3, 4; Basketball, J.V. 3; Track, Varsity 3, 4; Rifle Club, Vice President 3; Band 3, 4; Glee Club 4; Anglers’ Club 4; Ski Club 4; Dance Committee 3- Whenever that tea for two” beat is heard, there is no doubt that Jock is nearby playing his favorite tune on the piano. In two years, Jock has won a great many friends with his good sense of humor, facetious remarks and his repertoire of adventures in Garden City. That his popularity carries over to the feminine set is confirmed by his vast collection of girls' pictures and his many correspondents. Jock started on the Varsity soccer team, captained the newly formed skiing team and pole-vaulted and high-jumped for the track team. After a tiresome fall or spring day, Jock has been known to take rod and reel and relax fishing at a nearby stream. Tiny” 1957 JOHN THOMAS MULVEY, JR. 522 East 88th Street New York 28, N. Y. Football, Varsity 3, 4; Wrestling 4; Project Group 3, 4; French Club 3; Glee Club 3, 4; Choir 3, 4; Trinity-Pawling Times 3, Managing Editor 4; Trinitannus 3,4. John is one of the gentlest and best natured members of the Sixth Form. Paradoxically, however, on the gridiron he became the bulwark of the defensive line, crashing through the opponents' offense and preventing their gains. His zeal for football tactics was again quite evident when he wrestled in the unlimited weight class during the winter. John, undoubtedly the busiest boy in the form, also does more things successfully than any other member of the form. He is the school chauffeur, tractor and truck driver, a member of the Glee Club and the Choir, and an excellent Managing Editor of the newspaper. John's hard work and amiable personality will surely bring him recognition in the future. Ben 1958 BEN WILCOX NELSON 56 West Main Street Bainbridge, N. Y. Basketball, Varsity 4; Work Project 4; A” Band 4; Dance Band 4- Ben appeared last September with a basketball under one arm and a pile of books under the other; he then proceeded to become one of the top scholars in the class and certainly the top basketball player. His grace on the court is apparent to even the most casual observer. A taciturn member of the Sixth Form, Ben says much in as few words as possible. His most frequent expression, It is three hours past my bed time”, is likely to be heard any time during the day. On Sunday evenings Ben has been known to add his trumpet to the semi-organized caphony in the tower. 20
