Trinity Pawling School - Scroll Yearbook (Pawling, NY)

Text from Pages 1 - 168 of the 1973 volume:

73 Charles Andrew Harrington was a man of many talents and interests but his greatest interest was in working with young people. Few of us at Trinity-Pawling knew much about his distinguished record before he came to our school seventeen years ago. After his discharge from the Marine Corps at the end of World War II, Mr. Harrington did outstanding work for the Gordon School in Providence, Rhode Island, for the Crippled Children and Adults of Rhode Island, for the Boy Scouts Indian Lore Program and for Cragged Mountain Farm, a summer camp for children in Freedom, New Hampshire. Since coming to Trinity-Pawling in September 1955 his interests were centered largely on this campus. Many students of this school have found his classes in mechanical drawing and woodworking to be extremely interesting and very worthwhile. All students of this school — sometimes reluctantly — sometimes enthusiastically have cooperated with his efforts to make T-P more livable through the Work Program. Over the years, under Mr. Harrington's light hearted but effective leadership, the Project Group accomplished many things which beautified our campus or improved our facilities. Those students who participated in our recent track and cross-country programs were fortunate to have had such an enthusiastic and tireless coach. Those students who were his advisees will remember his great interest in each of them and how proud he was of their accomplishments as they made their way through the school. Mr. Harrington did much for our school. We shall miss him greatly. In Memory of Charles A. Harrington 3 Gerald E. Hollis came to Trinity-Pawling four years ago from his home state of Massachusetts. In this relatively short period of time he has become one of the most well liked teachers in the school. Since his arrival, Mr. Hollis has been teaching all levels of Latin. He has the unique power to make an old and sometimes tedious language rather interesting and relevant. His activities around campus, however, do not pertain solely to the classroom. He is the chapel organist who booms us awake every morning, and at night he instructs a number of students on playing the piano and other musical instruments. His pleasantly effective leadership of the Glee Club and Choir has attracted a surge of enthusiasm for these activities over the years. Yet, it is not these achievements that have stood him out in the hearts of the student body. He has always left his apartment door open for the solicitous student. His great rapport with the seniors as master of the fourth floor of Cluett has consequently made him a faculty member to whom individuals of the senior class have repeatedly turned their attention in times of trouble and joy. There are some in our class who have known Mr. Hollis for four years, and some who have only known him for a year; but all would admit that he neither suffers from overexposure nor fails to impress on the brief encounter. In this community where we have prided ourselves on intimacy and persuasion the presence of Mr. Hollis has confirmed without doubt our faith in the force of understanding leadership. 4 William W.

The day-warmed slates were soothing to my bare brown soles. A wind hissed through the leaves of trees below, and warned Me that my presence ther'e was not desired, even tried To push me off. I watch the distant hills green turn blue, then gray. And disappear. Then suddenly a rushing sound Came shiv'ring through the air; and only I was there To hear this mystic sound. By just a golden glim On streaks of black. And grey where day had designed to linger in the night I saw a flock of tiny silhouettes flee by Me to the North. The trees were wrong In warning me to leave because I saw And heard a thing I'd never seen before. —Tony Cook 78 And the seasons they go round and round and the painted ponies go up and down We're captive on the carousel of time we can't return we con only look behind From where we came and go round and round and round in the circle game. —Joni Mitchell And it's good old country comfort in my bones Just the sweetest sound my ears have ever known Just an old fashioned fully grown Country comfort's any truck that's going home —Bernie Taupin Where did I find all these words Something inside me is burning There's life in other worlds Maybe they'll come to earth Helping man to find a way —Mike Pinter 79 Paul DeMarie Lake Carmel Carmel, New York I'm not going to let them catch me, I'm not going to let them catch the Midnight Rider —Duane Allman 81 Richard Dennis Jr. 672 Chestnut St. Waban, Mass. 02168 82 He who knows nothing, loves nothing.

It seems to me a crime that we should age these fragile times should never slip us by A time you never can or shall erase as friends together watch their childhood fly Making friends for the world to see, let the people know you've got what you need, with a friend at hand you will see the light, if your friends are there everything's alright. —Elton John 5 . - A r Sugar Bear Step ens 1694 Colonial Lane Northfield, III. 60093 312-441-6140 VEGA Don Hunt Chevy Truck 96 SEE YOU AT THE HARD ROCK CAFE Sinclair Walbridge Kinsey 97 Jeffrey Kronemeyer Apaguogue Rd.

And it is in times as these I look for the comfort of my father's voice, or a dark moment alone; and the escape of a peaceful sleep. I leave, with a hope of life and learning; now that life can be found with love, and knowledge will come with time ... And it is in times as these I look for the comfort of a memory, or a light moment with good friends; and the thought of a long time of hard work and the well earned reward of a ... ... Peaceful Sleep —Greg Schnuck 113 David Berre Scott Dave Take time out to laugh The Road Not Taken Two roads diverged in a yellow wood. And sorry I could not travel both And be one traveler, long I stood And looked down one as far I could To where it bent in the undergrowth; Then took the other, as just as fair, And having perhaps the better claim, Because it was grassy and wanted wear; Though as for that the passing there Had worn them really about the same. And both that morning equally lay In leaves no step had trodden black. Oh! I kept the first for another day! Yet knowing how way leads on to way, I doubted if I should ever come back. I shall be telling this with a sigh Somewhere ages and ages hence: Two roads diverging in a wood, and I — I took the one less traveled by. And that has made all the difference. —Robert Frost 114 Sheps Open windows. Draft, Duford, J. Mr. Roommates? Own room! Nope, Dope He's back to stay James K. Shea III No. 86 Rumson, N.J. Preppy-Never!

It is time for us to kiss the earth again, It is time to let the leaves rain from the skies, Let the rich life run to the roots again. I will go down to the lovely Sur Rivers And dip my arms in them up to my shoulders. Jim Williams I will find my accounting where the alder leaf quivers Bethesda, Maryland In the ocean wind over the river boulders. I will touch things and things and no more thoughts. That breed like mouthless May-flies darkening the sky. The insect clouds that blind our passionate hawks So that they cannot strike, hardly can fly. Things are the hawk's food and noble is the mountain. Oh noble Pico Blanco, steep sea wave of marble. — Robinson Jeffers Advice to Pilgrims That our senses lie and our minds tickle us is true, but in general They are honest rustics; trust them a little; The senses more than the mind, and your own mind more than another man's As to the mind's pilot, intuition — Catch him clean and stark naked, he is first of truth- tellers; dream clothed, or dirty With fears and wishes, he is prince of liars. The first fear is of death: trust no immortalist. The first desire is to be loved: trust no mother's son. Finally I say let demagogues and world-redeemers babble their emptiness To empty ears; twice duped is too much. Walk on gaunt shores and avoid the people; rock and wave are good prophets,- Wise are the wings of the gull, pleasant her song. — Robinson Jeffers The geniuses of all ages and countries speak in different languages, but in them all burns the same flame. 124 — Anton P. Chekhov Music is my only friend, until the end ... 125 . . . come on down and visit me at Beggar's Farm. — Johnathon Giles Wolcott Freshman year: Being low man on the totem pole hit us below the belt . . . unfortunately we were granted the priviledge of hazing's final blows. Big brothers Hess and Birdman proved essential to our discipline. The ugly sticks held up to their name and so did the blood blisters, for four or five days. Patch didn't like coffee but he was the biggest grind in the class. Kinsey got the gross out award for his superb immitation of the Taz-manian Devil. Foulke was on crutches so Mr. Kern didn't have any trouble knocking him down and out. Morgan went fifteen rounds with a cinder block and won. I don't beeeeliiiivvvveeee you guys. Mason led class as athletic supporter. Collins earned the name of Sadistic Demon. Weekly Tuesday night purges turned up matches and left a mess. Many a track star developed from missing breakfast. Dean discovers shaving cream for the first time. Sit down meals three times a day. Oh no! Peanut butter and jelly again. Jollin was class idol. Who doesn't do diddly? Rick Bauer left big impression on LaMorte. Is Paul really dead? Marine technology made a big splash with the Frosh. Last night unfit for words. So much for freshman year. It was just too much. Good-bye Matt. Hello Phil. One down, three biggies to go. Sophmore year: Didn't loose much, but gained George, Giles, O'Buck, Freddie, Nolan, Hunt, Rich, Popeye, Lovisa, and unfortunately, Utter, Scott, L.C., and Sanik. Carried on tradition of Johnson Hall zoo . Started to learn the ropes, some of us got strung out. Definitely roudiest year. (Hey Aaaabaaat) Got Tucker for Rex. Boys, Boys. O'Buck started his career. 4:30 A.M. class with Looper. Aries has appendicitis, everything came out okay. Eighth period math class was stifling. But Sir, I have to catch the ski bus. Hartcorn this class is a crock of WHAT. Sir, it wasn't me, it was Hartcorn. Do I really look like snaglepuss? Spring term dynamite. Then she did the most disgusting thing. She stuck her tongue in my mouth. Sunbathing and softball. Outrageous team, we were the best. The stream was at least eighty proof. Annis and Wolcott practice throwing balloons with their math teachers. Spigs what's up? I can't remember. Pablo got caught in the shack. Lost Rich (we thought), Donely, and Hartcorn, Amen. Final math exam was intoxicating. Year had it's highs and lows, we left in high spirits with the thought of two down and two to go. Junior year: Proved to be interesting. Spigs came back for a $3,800 dinner and a short romp on the soccer field. Tennant was soon to follow along with Rich (finally). Gained R. Scott, Acks, Ray, Francis regretably, Juan, Titus, Andrews, Norman, Doc, Bowie, and Williams. Roux, Mason and Aries made Varsity Soccer. Nolan proved outstanding in X-Country. Giles, Acks, Kronies, Dickie, Les and Begey made Varsity Football. A.Y. started to form. Favorite subject G.J. (why not). Second and third south and Dunbar were our main abodes. I hear this new kid Hiemi is pretty weird. Why do you think they call it dope, Pete? Smoking Boycott was smoked out. Discovered the 'Wall and the 'Rock'. Giles did never like the dam. The winter term brought no snow but frequent trips to the front quad. Foulke developed into big flash. Dick and Les made V B'Ball. R. Scott hot on the slopes. Patch Varsity hockey. Doc and Titus Varsity swimming. Finally lost Greenfield. Pops, Foulke, and Kronies inseperable. Spring things started cooking. Second year undefeated softball team. Dick, Aries, and Kronies tri-captains for undefeated tennis squad. Duke, Ace, Pip, Spade Giles, and Doc controlled campus as the Dead family. Class leaders outstanding! Roux goes to the head of the class. Dunbar Dorm produces 8 of 13 proctors. High spirited moments on Hockey dome. Cluett country club in full session . . . dues went to pot. Stepping up ceremony finally at hand. We're finally seniors: three down, one to go. 128 Senior Year: As maturity hit us so did the restrictions. Got burnt on the smoking rule; could keep the smoking room but not the furniture. No hitchhiking and all of 8 cuts per term. Were invaded by usual number of PG's along with the sexy six from California. Fall sports fair . . . third soccer high spirited. Applebaum hits the road early. Are you on drugs? LaMorte take off. Phil got on seniors for September senior slump. Lovisa first in college (Fordham). Roux best dribbler on third team hockey. O'Buck and Annis keep reputations. A.Y. campus wide organization. Giles traded a life of responsibility with Aries for a life of corruption with Swifters. Life style was unbelievable for whole class. Fourth was like a penthouse except for a few occasional busts, nothing out of the ordinary. Butch, Dick, Tom, and Chris get caught with their pants down while moonlighting on the fire escape. Annis, Schnookers, Foulke, Lovisa, Birns and Dungan solely responsible for this yearbook. Fred tackles T-P Times unaided. Gengler wins election for U.S. President with a little help from Annis. If the chapel bell is broken where is all the bonging coming from? The fourth, no it couldn't be. Norman asked to leave due to extenuating circumstances. Words could not express our feelings when Mr. Harrington passed away; he was a great guy. Another typical leisurely spring, sunbathing got top priority, softball also, but no work. There's Gold in them thar hills. Last term of the last year. Stepping up, graduation, and parties. We were no longer one. How do you end four years of your life? It's all part of growing up.
