This Volume is Dedicated to A USTIN PHILIPS MONTGOMERY, JR., the Headmaster whose ideals about what a school should be inspired the theme around which this book is turned. “The School exists for boys.” He said that often. Without boys, a school is only a scattering of buildings. It is the boy, the individual voice, the collective voice, that gives life and purpose and that creates ‘school in the only real sense. For seven years, he worked for the boy, for the School. New buildings were erected. The chapel was enlarged, for him “the center of things.” More boys came. More voices.

Give me a hand with these trunks.” Taxi, station wagon, sedan. “Just let me handle it, Mother. Pll be OK.” Bermudas, khakis, open-shirts, duffle bags, catch-alls. Color. Chaos. Banging activity. Windows raised and voices, several at once, so that only the loudest are heard: “We got new beds!” “They both grew beards!” “I’ve lived for this moment!” Hallways. Doorways. Rooms and walkways. Bull-sessions. “Where do I put this surfboard?” The volume grows. Noise. Boys. Bull-sessions. “Where do they keep the swimming pool?” The voices... It frightens me to know that fifty-five other boys are trying to get higher grades than me. It’s great that he can speak twelve languages, but I wish he'd teach them one at a time!

I had a good thing going, ordering hamburgers and selling them on dorm. Then one night at 11:30 this jerk rings Mr. Montgomery’s door bell and asks, “Where you want them delivered, Mac?” For him it’s work, work, work . . . and what does he get? — a Morehead Award. For me it’s work, work, work, and all I get is to study in my room instead of in study hall. Clarke Daugherty (seated) assists Wooty Peebles with a chemistry problem. aii ‘ iin Ue.

V-jackets are worn with pride. Influence grows stronger. Intermural basketball tourn- aments. A steak dinner for the winners. ‘“Longworth’s team wins.
