Through The TorTy-TourTh volume oT This book, we, The ediTors, have Tried To painT a porTraiT of our liTe aT Wilbraham Academy during The pasT year. The composiTion of This book can hardly be Termed an easy Task, buT Through The immense co-operaTion of boTh sTudenTs and TacuITy, This Toil has been TerminaTed. Now we humbly sub- miT The TruiT oT our labors before you in The hope Tl1aT you will be able To look back aT This docu- menT years Trom now and reminisce abouT all oT your old experiences. How well we have suc- ceeded in This Task, we shall perhaps never know.

For This reason, we Take This opporTuniTy To express our proTound Thanks. ffzmer MrC. Miller 101112 C.

For fhe pasf nine odd monfhs, we have been an inseparable fam- ily, living under fhe same roof, eafing af 'rhe same fable. enioying fhe same pleasures. and facing fhe same barriers. As any family we have had our liffle argumenfs and misundersfandings: however fhey were minor fo be sure and were greafly oufshone by fhe har- monious relafionships which have been ours fhroughouf fhe year. We have been comrades in our every acfivify and have known fhe close companionship of being 'ream mafes on fhe afhlefic field. We have co- operafed in scholasfic acfivifies and have lived side by side in fhe innumerable ofher phases of life here on our campus. Through Wilbraham, our common bond, wifhouf which we mighf never have even mef, we have become fhe close friends we now are. If if were for fhis reason alone, we would owe an unpayable debf fo fhis insfifufion. If is self-evidenf and very obvious fhaf Wilbraham, which has meanf sfill more fo us fhan fhese invaluable friendships, has provided an opporfunify fo obfain 'rhe sound- esf basis possible for our nexf year in college and fhe many years fo follow. We have learned here fhrough fhe foil and dogged deferminafion of our friends and advisors of 'rhe faculfy, who have devofed fheir lives 'ro our benefif. Af fimes we have failed 'ro see 'rhe mofives behind fheir acfions, buf we now can appreciafe fheir unselfish efforfs fo help us. The guidance fhese men have offered will remain wifh us fhe resf of our lives fhough if be in memory only. Symbolic of fhis guidance, in our minds, is fhe person of our headmasfer. Mr. Marfern, who has been a fower of sfrengfh fo us in our downcasf momenfs and has been a greaf aid in our every endeavor. This has been Wilbraham fo us. Buf wha'r of fhe fufure? The world we enfer nexf year will be enfirely differenf. We shall have new surroundings wi+h which fo become acquainfed and new friends and companions fo meef. Gone will be all of whaf we have enjoyed, gone fhe closeness, gone fhe warmfh of our old pals. We shall meef fhis sfruggle, however, as we shall mee? ofhers conlinually in our faslcs of life. We shall meef fhem because we have had fo meef fhem here before and we are mosl' fhanlcful. In our new role as alumni of fhis school, we hope fo be able fo show our deepesf appreciafion for whaf we have received. The Ieasf we can do is fo love Wilbraham forever. William L. Danforth SENIOR CLASS HISTORY l As fhe class of l956 leaves Wilbraham Academy, fhe Famous New England School for Boys, for greafer heighfs and success, fhe knowledge and experience gained af Wilbraham shall never be forgoffen. As each senior leaves foday, he has some unpleasanf buf many pleasanf memories of prep school life. Ivlosf lilcely, The af- mosphere of fhe school, fhe curiculum and fhe pleasanf associa- fions wifh faculfy and class mafes will be in his memory forever. Of course, we all have our recollecfions of fhe rough exams, fhe long assignmenfs, fhe close afhlefic confesfs, fhe Ivlaclluffie dances, which we were brave enough fo affend, and fhe waifing for Mr. Floclcen fo finish reading fhe announcemenfs so we could leave for fhe buff room. To some our class has nof been fhe greafesf one fo grad- uafe from here. buf fo us fhere has never been one which could compare fo if. As I fell of fhe growfh of fhe class of I956, lel' me compare if fo fhe building of Memorial Wall, which will bear our monograms forever. 3l The ToundaTion oT our segmenT oT The wall was acTuaIIy laid in The Tall oT I95O, when Three boys, Gary Ardison, Philip Grandchamp and Jim Miller came To The cam- pus. Here was The nucleus Tor The class oT I956. ATTer The compIeTion of The sevenTh and eighTh grades and graduaTion Trom The WinchesTer School, They donned Their black bow Ties and enTered The upper school. In our Freshman year The ToundaTion oT our memories became sTronger when nine boys, Jim Burke, William DanTorTh, John Duncan, STeve Popkin, Dick Kochanowicz, Dave ScoTT, Frank SanTos, Craig SpaTTord, and Dave WhiTehouse, enTered our class. The mosT imporTanT evenT which occured during ThaT year was The selecling oT Mr. ThursTon as our Class Advisor. He has been insTrumenTaI in The success oT our class Trom ThaT day on. We all owe a debT oT graTiTude To him Tor his guidance. The nexT year, aTTer burning our black bow Ties and Throwing our AncienT HisTory books inTo The Rubicon, we became sophisTicaTed sophomores. I am aliraid, however, as The new members To ThaT sophomore class, PeTe Amsden, Tom MacCaIlum, Ted Pierce, SupaT Sarasin, Bill Shawn, and Bill ZiTer, will well remember, we weren'T quiTe sophisTicaTed, in The sTricTesT sense oT The word, buT we were Sophomores Isoph-wise moros-lToolsI. The Tishing Trips To The upper reservoir aT Three-ThirTy in The morning or The ringing oT The Fisk Hall bell, when There was Chapel, cerTainly proved ThaT we weren'T sophisTicaTed, We had The rough ouTIine oT our secTion oT The wall now wiTh our class ToTaling eighTeen. We can see ThaT, now, in The STudenT Council. Three, Bill DanTorTh, Bill ZiTer and Jim Miller, ouT oT a possible Tive members oT our STudenT Council, were oT ThaT original group. In I954, TourTeen new members ioined our now TasT growing class. Doug Blampied, Tom Fisher, Bill Greenough, Philip HoIT, Frank Morgan, Charles Murphy, Bob NorTh, Fred Riley, Sukhon SaraioTi, Chumpon Rangavara, Arnold CanTon, Lance Solaroli, John Tramposch, and SihaiaTi PunyaraTabhan aImosT compleTed The blueprinT oT The class OT I956. From This I954 group came many of The nexT year's noTabIes and noTorious. Those noTables, Trom ThaT year's junior class, elecTed in I956, To The Gold Key, were PeTe Amsden, Gary Ardison, Doug Blampied, John Duncan, Tom MacCalIum, Frank Morgan, and Craig SpaTTord. They helped To bring The school spiriT up Tremendously. The year Tor graduaTion came upon us suddenly. IT did noT seem as Though six years could have passed so swiTTly. Our blueprinT Tor our segmenT oT The wall was Tinally compleTed. SixTy-six seniors were preparing Tor graduaTion day a monogramed sTone which would appear on The compleTed Memorial Wall. ThirTy-Three new boys, Dick Barry, Henry BarTIeTT, Felix Boyce, Don Davis, WaIT Dineen, Ross Emrick, Tom Gallagher, Enrique Gerlein, RoberTo Gerlein, Dave Guenard. Tim Hennessey, John Ingram, Wally Jendras, STeve Kaiser, Chachur KarnasuTe, Lawrie Larchez, NorberT Lough, Mark Lydon, Nosra Madgid, Jack McKenzie, Roger Pearson, Amphorn SaraioTi, George Sarraui, AITred SarTorelIi, RoberT STarodoi, PeTer SyIvesTer, 'Bob TaiT, Anurak Thananan, Tony Torres, Udom Viiaranakorn, Mario Volpe, Henry WaIaT, and Roger Whyman, were among Those carving ouT Their sTones Tor The wall. Truly our segmenT oT Memorial Wall would noT have been compleTed and indeed, our whole curiculum oT school evenTs during The year could noT have been compleTed wiThouT These new members. As They Tilled in The many gaping holes in our wall, so They also compleTed The sTrucTure oT our class. 32 Whelher a boy had been here for one year or six years, il made no difference excepl as he himself became par? of The school. Time in class, as lime in life, is noi' im- por+an+ in ilself. ll is how fha? lime is ufilized. Throughoul our sludenl' experience. we dreamed of being seniors as we even dreamed of gradualing and leaving Wilbraham. H' seems lo me, however, fhe grad- ualed senior should dream furfher of his many years as an alumnus of +he Academy. He should as an alumnus never forge? lhe place where he spenf unforgeflable years. Our sfones are well cemenled +o The wall. The wall and sfones will survive us as living human beings. In fact 'rhe segmenl of The wall will las+ as long as Wilbra- ham Academy exisls. Nalurally. if is up lo each man whose inscriplion appears on 'the wall lo malce his own mark as his class represenfalive so fha? lhe meaning of Memorial Wall ifself is somelhing of lasfing significence. Le+ us never graduale finally from 'rhe Academy. As alumni, le+ us never forgef lhal' we remain a definile par+ of +he School as our segmenl' of +he wall is a definile pad' of +he wall. Philip H.

Throwing my beauTiTul privaTe secreTary To The Tloor, I lumped up in uTTer amazemenT when I saw an unscheduled DC-7 swinging on- To The runway crowding ouT one oT my smaller TransporTs. Upon landing, The ship alTered iTs course and came To a sTop direcTIy in TronT of my oTTice. By The Time I reached The main Tloor, my privaTe police Torce, consisTing of Dick Barry, Rog Whyman, Norbie Lough, Lance Solaroli, and Ross Emerick, appeared wiTh guns leveled aT The door oT The plane. The door Tlew open and ouT sTepped a man dressed in a smoking iackeT, dark glasses, ermine pajamas, bereT, and sporTing a six inch cigareTTe holder. He saunTered up To me and gave me The old Wilbraham hand shake. ImmediaTeIy I knew iT was Bill Greenough, my old school chum of '56. ATTer much hand shaking and back slapping, I ushered Bill up inTo my privaTe oiilice so he could change inTo someThing a biT more casual. As we walked Through my oTlice, Bill wanTed To sTop and say hello To some oT my employees whom he recognized. They were lvlark Lydon, John Ingram, Hank BarTleT, and Fred Riley. I Told him noT To because They were being reprimanded Tor having had a waTer TighT aT The drinking TounTain ThaT morning. We enTered my oTTice, and I moTioned To Bill To siT down and relax. When I commenTed on his apparenT wealTh, he Told me he had made his money by invenTing The golden yo-yo Tor rich idioTs. We began Talking abouT The good old days aT Wilbraham, and Bill menTioned ThaT on his IasT Trip around The world he had sTopped aT Thailand and had seen all his old Thai classmaTes: Loomey Sarisan, Sam PunyaraTabhan, ChaTchum KarnasuTa, Amphon SaroioTi, his broTher, Sukon, and STeve Kaiser. I'Ie said ThaT he had missed Udomsakdi Viiaronakorn. I Told him ThaT Udomsakdi ran a resTauranT called Udomsakdi Viiaronakorn's Irish-American ResTauranT in BosTon. On his visiT To Colombia, Bill menTioned ThaT he hadn'T been aT all surprised when he Tound ThaT Mario Volpe was The head of The revoluTionary Torces in Columbia, bul' he was quiTe surprised when he discovered The Gerlein broThers, Roberlo and Enrique, selling second-hand Tennis balls on The sTreeT corners. I decided To Take Bill To dinner aT one of my lavish resTauranTs across Town. We had no sooner sTepped inTo The sTreeT Than we were Thrown bodily inTo a rickshaw and wenT bouncing down The road. ATTer collecTing our wiTs and geTTing our bearings sTraighT, we realized ThaT we were paTronizing Chumpon Rangavara's chopped and channeled Three quarTer race, wiTh buckeT seaTs, rickshaw service. Chumpon wasTed no Time in geTTing us across Town. When we arrived aT The resTauranT, we were accosTed by a group oT youThTul beggars pleading Tor alms. We immediaTely recognized The grinning Taces oT NosraT Madgid, George SaurrauT, Wal+ Dineen, and David WhiTehouse. Much To our relief we were saved Trom The blighTers by a TasT Thinking moTorcycIe policeman, Dick Kochanowicz. The door man, Felix Boyce leT us inside where we were ushered To a Table. Bill ordered kibaTza, and I ordered 36 lobsfer. Our efficienf wairer, Rag Pearson, broughr our orders, and we began +o eaf. Bill gesfured 'rhaf fhe kibafza was delicious and demanded fo mee? fhe person who had prepared if. Much To our surprise, if was none ofher fhan Bob Sfarodoi. I asked him if he had seen his old roommafe, Dave Guenard, lafely. He said fhe lasf 'rime he had seen Dave he was sfill frying +o figure ouf 'rhaf crazy Bus. Ec. class. Jusf as Bob leff, a man dressed in a space helmef and fofing a Buck Rogers cap pisfol asked us if we would like fo accompany him 'ro fhe moon. Of course, who else could if be buf Dave Scoff? We facffully declined his offer, and he leff. Seconds lafer fhe building was shaken by a ferrific roar from oufside. When fhe roar sub- sided. we ran oufside and gazed fowards 'rhe moon. Sure enough, fhere was Dave: he had finally made if. Q I' lf I' Tom and l fhen refurned fo fhe resfauranf and finished our meal undisfurbed, excepf for one incidenf. Tom Fisher and Sfeve Popkin, bofh up and coming em- ployees of Midnighi' Aufo lnc.. fried fo sell us some hubcaps. buf as fheir price was foo high, we fold fhem fhaf we weren'f in fhe markei' for any af fhe presenf fime. Being refused, fhey bofh began fo cry, and we felf so sorry for fhem fhaf we felf +ha+ we should do somefhing for fhem. We fold fhem fhaf if 'rhey were fo fake fhem fo Laurie Larchez, fhe iunk dealer on fhe nexfr block, fhey would probably receive a reasonable price for fhem. Wifh overly gracious salaams, fhey bid us good day and leff. Upon our deparfure from fhe resfauranf, we were relieved 'ro discover fhaf fhe band of beggars had leff. Having decided fo sfop in af fhe infamous Copa Cabana for a few drinks, we began fo walk down fhe sfreef. We sfopped suddenly when our eyes were aH'racfed by a large neon sign which read Grandchamps Chinese Laundry - No Credit We enfered and immediafely noficed fhaf Granny had done preffy well for himself. There behind fhe counfer sfood fhree haggard looking employees, Jack Tramposch was ai' fhe sfeam iron, Pefe Amsden was fagging fhe arficles, and Jack Mc Kenzie, in his own inimifable way, was refilling +he pocke+s. Jack explained rhaf he was working his way 'rhrough college. We bid fhem all good by and leff. Affer sfepping info +he sfreei' we heard a loud noise overhead. There in fhe sky was a dirigible sporfing a large sign which read, Vo+e For Ted Pierce, Chicopee's Fufure Mayor. Forever-lafe Ted had finally made fhe big fime. Affer passing Murphy's Billiard Palace, we came upon a young man sfanding on fhe sfreef corner selling Phi Bera Kappa keys. Who else could i+ be buf Bill Danforfh? As we walked on l noficed a small booksfore. Having need of new reading maffer since l had already read every book wriffen, I enfered. The firsf book l saw was Shawnsie's Revised Dic+ionary by William Shawn. As if appeared fo be very inferesfing, l boughf a copy, and we leff. Furfher on we noficed a drug sfore wifh a desolufe figure enfering. lf was fhaf old drugs+ore cowboy himself, Frank Sanfos. We enfered and saf down 'ro have a soda. lmmediafely, we recognized fhe mournful face of Jim Miller glaring af us from behind fhe prescripfion counfer. Jim had always said fhaf he was going fo gel' info fhe field of medicine, and so we walked over fo see whaf he was doing. There was Jim licking Rexall labels while Pere Sylvesfer pasfed Them on fhe boffles. 37 Doug Blampied, The owner, broughT us our sodas. We drank Them and leTT. Tom and I Tinally reached The Copa and were greeTed by FaTher Confessor To The Copa girls, Tim Hennesey. While he showed us To our Table, he Told us some very inTeresTing sTories. We saT down, and I glanced around The room wondering iT There was anyone presenT whom I knew. The TirsT Thing ThaT caughT my eye was The Tigure of Arnold CanTon. I-Ie was keeping himselT, and everyone else busy by passing Trom one Table To anoTher asking all The various inebriaTes, WhaT'sa maTTer, Boy? OT course, his longsTanding body guard and TaiThTul Indian companion, Bob NorTh, was wiTh him. A cuTe IiTTle cigareTTe girl who called herself EThel sold Tom a pack oT cigareTTes. ImmediaTely The Three gaIlanT Tigures of Bob TaiT, Jim Burke. and Gary Ardison were upon him Trying To mooch a cigareTTe. Tom. oT course, obliged Them, and They walked away TriumphanTIy puTTing Their borrowed cigareTTes inTo already bulging cigareTTe packs. Glancing around The room once more, my eye Tell upon a young lady on The oTher side oT The room sedaTely smoking a pipe. I menTioned iT To Tom, and we gazed aT her in uTTer amazemenT unTil we saw The lanky Torm oT Phil T-IolT bouncing across The Tloor. AT once we realized The reason Tor The young lady's acTion: she was his claTe. STanding aT The bar was Ignacio Cisneros, Talking aT greaT lengTh while Frank Morgan and Tony Torres Tried in vain To geT in The lasT word. John Duncan broughT us our check, and we walked ouT. No sooner had we sTepped ouTside Than we were lying TIaT on our backs in a deep diTch. We looked up and saw Two young men digging as TasT as They could wiTh army surplus Trench shovels. As They helped us up, I recognized Them as Craig SpaTTord and Wally Jendras. Tom asked Them iusT why They happened To be digging diTches in The sidewalks. WiThouT a word, Craig handed us his business card. IT read: SpaTTord and Jendras - CreaTive DiTchdiggers Inc. - C5eT a good Iawyer. We leTT Craig and Wally because I had To leave Tor my oil Tields in Arabia by eleven ThaT nighTg so we hailed a passing cab Tor The drive To The airporT. Our adepT driver, Don Davis, Took us To The airporT in a maTTer oT minuTes: so we wenT up To Tom's privaTe oTiice Tor a lasT drink. We ToasTed each oTher and said goodbye hoping ThaT we would see each oTher aT The nexT Alumni Day aT Wilbraham. I walked downsTairs and onTo The Tield Towards my privaTe DC-7 which was already warming up. My piIoT, The one and only Al SaToreIli, greeTed me and said ThaT we were abouT ready To Take oTT. No sooner had he Tinished speaking Than an Arab dressed in The TradiTionaI Tashion. Turban and all, came running across The Tield scream- ing aT The Top oT his lungs. Following him was a group oT scanTiIy clad women whom I supposed To be his harem. As he drew closer. I recognized him. IT was Bill ZiTer. my old classmaTe. We greeTed one anoTher and shook hands. I couldn'T help buT commenT on his wealTh which To all ouTward appearance surpassed even my own. He Told me ThaT he had been in The UniTed STaTes To Take parT in The Tilming oT AIi Babba and The ForTy Thieves , and now he was reTurning To Arabia. I inviTed him To accompany me because I knew There was plenTy oT room in my ship Tor ZiT's women. WiThouT a TurTher ThoughT, Bill wiTh The help oT I-Ienry WaIeT, my sTeward. 38 began loading his wives, baggage and his Iiairhlul eunoch, Tom Gallaghar, aboard The plane. When The passengers were seTTIed, and The haTches were baTTened down, AI Tired up The engines, bid Tarewell wiTh a Tew rings oT The Bermuda bell, whipped The ship inTo The wind, and Took oTT inTo The nighT leaving Tom sTanding There wi+h Tears in his eyes as The memorable occasion came To a close.

'x VARSITY FOOTBALL ,W l Led by Co-capTains, Mike Kiniry and Roger Pearson, and backed by a balanced squad, The Wilbraham Coachmen perTormed much beTTer Than Their seasonls record indicaTed alThough The Tinal resulTs showed 3 wins, 3 losses, and I Tie. The Coachmen showed They had The winning TalenT and spiriT in The iniTial sTages oT The game, buT were overpowered in The laTer parT oT several conTesTs due To lack oT depTh. Mr. Ca- zeTTa was an example Tor The boys by his whole-hearTed eTTorTs in behalT oT The Team, and Mr. Sampson, wiTh his many years oT TooTball knowhow, TaughT The boys TooTball TundamenTals as well as many oT The Tine poinTs, Their abiliTy can be exem- pliTied by Their ouTsTanding iob oT molding a Team. The Wilbraham eleven deTeaTed ChoaTe on ChoaTe's home Tield 326. PeTe SylvesTer scored early in The second period wiTh a plunge Trom The line. DanTorTh scored nexT on an exciTing 55 yard runback oT a ChoaTe punT, Pearson scored on a sneak Trom The Three. This was Tollowed by a pass Trom Pearson To Gallagher To make The score 26fO aT halT Time, The Redmen scored again on The Pearson-Gallagher combinaTion. ChoaTe Tinally scored in The TourTh period and aT The Tinal whisTle The score was 32-6. The Coachmen, on QcTober 8, journeyed To Windsor, Conn., where They meT a sTrong Loomis Team. The rainy aTTernoon hampered The SampsoniTes in The early sTages oT The conTlicT, BUT DanTorTh picked up a nice block Trom PeTe SylvesTer and romped 80 yards Tor a score. Pearson Then hiT Gallagher wiTh a pass Tor a Touch- down. A deTermined Loomis Team Took The Tield Tor The second halT and immediaTely scored Twice. The SampsoniTes, however, came back on a beauTiTul play by Tom Gallagher, who sTole The ball Trom The guarTerback, and scored. The score ended wiTh The Redmen ouT in TronT, l9eI3. On 0cTober I5, Wilbraham Taced a Tough Lawrence squad beTore a very weT FaTher's Day crowd. The Coachmen Tailed To capiTalize on a beauTiTul blocked punT by The rugged guard, Mike Kiniry. LaTer in The period, SylvesTer ran 70 yards and Then 48 slip ed across for a score. Lawrence Then scored Twice on long runs. and iT looked as if Tlie Ccachmen were in for Trouble. Kiniry pulled The game ouT of The fire by re- covering a fumble on The Lawrence 42 yard line which seT up a play for Roger Pear- son, who scored, and The game ended in a I2-I2 deadlock. MounT Hermon played hosT To The Wilbraham eleven aT Norfhfield on Ocfober 22. Wilbraham held a 7-O lead on a run by PeTe Sylvesfer Till The half. A hard fighTing MounT l-lermon Team came back in The Third period To score: This was followed by Two more quick scores by The Hermonifes on long aerials and fine running. ln The lasT few seconds of The game The Coachmen seT a score wifh a pass. and Renier, replacing The injured Sylvesfer, plunged over. The game Terminafed wiTh The Redmen on The shorT end, I9-I3. The Coachmen played hosT To Avon Old Farms on Ocfober 29. Wilbraham Took an early lead on a plunge by SylvesTer, who added The poinT, and a pass from Pear- son To Gallagher. This, however, seemed To end The SampsoniTes scoring for The affernoon as The AvoniTes buckled down, scoring four Touchdowns. The score ended wiTh Avon ouT in fronT, 25-l4. On November 5, Wilbraham meT Mildford aT The Wilbraham field. Pearson scored in The firsT period: This was followed by a Two-poinfer when The coachmen pressed inTo The Mildford backfield and recovered The ball in The end zone for a safefy. Blampied scored once and Danforfh scored Twice. Sfaradoi snagged a Pearson pass To make The score 32-O aT The final whisTle. Wilbraham faced a heavy Cushing Team November I2, aT Wilbraham. Cushing Tallied 28 poinfs in The firsT half, and The fuTure looked gloomy for Wilbraham. The Coachmen came back in The second half by passing. Gallagher grabbed a Pearson pass for a score: This was followed by Danforfh scampering around end for anofher score. Here, Wilbraham's lack of depTh became apparenT as They could noT generafe enough power for a scoring drive. The second period proved To be The disasTrous one as The coachmen wenT down To defeaT, 28-l2. Our vicTories were much more meaningful because of The excellenf supporT of The sTudenT body and friends. We would like To Take This opporTuniTy To express our Thanks To Mr. Sampson and To Mr. Cazeffa for fine insTrucTion, guidance, and encouragemenf. Above all, They have Taughf us good, clean sporfsmanship, and To love foofball - win or lose.

H 07111611631 49 VARSITY SOCCER AT The beginning oT This season, The soccer Team was Tull oT new Taces.

Mr. Shaw, wiTh The able assisTance oT Mr, Beaver, worked hard and soon had The Team in shape, Even Though There were many new boys, There seemed To be much spiriT and Triendliness among The TeammaTes on The squad. Bill ZiTer played very well ThroughouT The enTire season, playing some oT The besT deTensive soccer we have ever seen. Qur line was also packed wiTh good men, such as Chumpon Rangavara, Phil Grandchamp, SupaT Sarasin, Chachur KarnasuTa, Mario Volpe, and John Duncan, who were a consTanT scoring ThreaT To oTher Teams. Russ Cook, a newcomer To The game, did an excellenT iob as a goalie. The halTbacks were noT very experienced, buT as The season progressed, They improved rapidly. The Team seemed To shape up Tairly well, however, The compeTiTion was very hard and mosT oT The oTher Teams were more experienced. The Tinal record was 3 wins, I Tie, and 6 losses. Our TirsT game was aT Loomis, a game played hard againsT a more experienced Team, on a weT and muddy Tield. Though we ToughT conTinuously ThroughouT The game, we were deTeaTed 4-I, Fred Riley, one oT our more experienced Tullbacks, was puT ouT oT acTion Tor The resT oT The season in This game when he dislocaTed his knee. ln The second game, played againsT WorcesTer Academy, The Team showed some improvemenT. Though The sun was shining, The Tield was very muddy, and playing con- diTions were noT as good as expecTed. IT was a TasT, close game ending in a Tie, 2-2. The nexT game, which was our TirsT home game oT The season, was played on l:aTher's Day. The proud parenTs saw Avon Old Farms deTeaTed 8-O. Again iT was a rainy day, buT Wilbraham was becoming used To such weaTher, and Mr. Shaw was 50 able fo clear fhe bench. The scorers were Phil Grandchamp wifh 3, Supaf Sarasin wifh 2, and Enrique and Roberfo Gerlein wifh one apiece. In our nexf home game, which was played againsf a sfrong Choafe feam, we were defeafed by a score of 7-2. The weafher was excellenf, and bofh feams played a hard game.

Supaf Sarasin and Roberfo Gerlein were high scorers wifh fwo apiece, and Chumpon Rangavara and John Duncan followed wifh one apiece. Our nexf game was played wifh fhe more experienced and more skilled Deerfield feam. Unfil fhis year, Wilbraham and Deerfield had foughf a biffer rivalry, and fhe number of games fhey had won againsf each ofher was fhe same. This was surely 'rhe game of fhe season, and Wilbraham, who seemed fo be 'rhe underdog, came fhrough fo win, 2-O. Bofh feams played an excellenf game, and bofh foughf hard fo win. Our nexf home game was played in fine weafher againsf Sufheld Academy. Unfil fhe lasf quarfer if was a close game wifh each feam having one goal.

Though we losf more games fhan we won, we sfill had a winning season. for in 'rhis season, we had won fhe confidence and friendship of our feammafes. We have played fogefher well. and will always remain a feam. From Mr. Shaw we have learned somefhing even greafer. We have learned fhaf if is nof fhe game won or losf fhaf counfs, buf fhe spirif and sporfsrnanship wifh which fhey are played.

The Wilbraham Coachmen goT oTT To a rough sTarT by absorbing a beaTing aT The hands oT a very good WorcesTer quinTeT in The season's opener by a score oT 67-45. The only brighT spoT in an oTherwise dismal aTTernoon was The sparkling play oT PeTe SylvosTer and Tom Gallagher, who Threw in sevenTeen and Twelve poinTs respecTively, T-lowever, The Coachmen avenged This loss in Their second ouTing by Topping Avon Old Farms by a 70-40 margin. Gallagher proved To be The big man in This TilT by hiTTing Tor ThirTeen poinTs and pulling down sevenTeen rebounds in The TirsT halT. Dave Guenard was runner-up wiTh Twelve poinTs. This vicTory marked The opening oT The Coachmen's home season. On January 2I, Wilbraham suTTered iTs second deTeaT when edged by a scrappy Cushing club by The score oT 53-47. Gallagher again was high man wiTh nineTeen poinTs. Paul Malley and PeTe SylvesTer chipped in wiTh some Tine rebounding buT To no avail. Sloppy ball handling led To The downTall oT The Coachmen.

Coach CazzeTTa's yearlings easily handled The oldsTers by handing Them a 60-45 deTeaT. On February I5, The Coachmen, in The midsT oT a winning sTreak, Traveled To Monson where They licked a sTubborn Monson club by a 67-47 margin. Gallagher played his usual eTTicienT game by chipping in wiTh sevenTeen poinTs and conTrolling The boards. Sy lvlalley, PeTe SylvesTer, Dave Guenard also conTribuTed greaTly To The vicTory. One oT The biggesT and mosT colorTul games oT The year Took place on February I8 where Wilbraham wenT norTh To Take on The always powerful DeerTield Academy. The Coachmen were down by a I5-3 margin aT The end oT The TirsT quarTer, buT They soon bounced back and Took a commanding lead aT The half. Tom Gallagher, Shawn FiT'zpaTrick, and Dave Guenard led The Team in scoring. Some valuable assisTance was lenT by Sy Malley, who conTrolled The board Tor The mosT parT during The game. The Team played wiThouT The services oT PeTe SylvesTer, who was on The injured lisT wiTh an inTecTed TooT. The whole Team helped parTicipaTe in This rewarding vicTory.

PeTe SylvesTer and Sy Malley played Their usually Tine game also. ln The closing game oT The season, De-erTield handed The Coachmen oT Wilbraham iTs TourTh loss. DeerTield coupled some alerT ball handling wiTh some phenomenal shooTing To deTeaT The Wilbraham Tive. The Coachmen enjoyed one oT Their TinesT seasons, compiling an Il-4 record. Tom Gallagher was high scorer on The club. Every one conTribuTed his share includ- ing The clique. who were always on hand To lend Their valuable assisTance.

Dick Bruno came on aT The end oT The year and Tound a place on The sTarTing Tive. All The Team members saw a good deal oT acTion ThroughouT The year, and The squad really learned The meaning oT Team play. The Jayvees's 2 and IO record should noT serve as an example as To abiliTies oT The Team members. A good number oT These boys were underclassmen and a li++Ie inexperienced.

This was a dramaTic producTion oT Civil War days, showing The simple mindedness oT Two souThern Tarmers, The able Mrs. Sampson Took The lead as a poverTy-sTricken Tarm woman concerned only wiTh her own self preservaTion.

The Rebel soldiers were porTrayed by Bill DanTorTh and Nick Spencer. The play ended wiTh Mrs. Sampson killing The Rebels because oT Their insuITs, and This enabled The Yankee To escape. BoTh of The plays were a greaT success, and we all wish To Thank everyone who parTicipaTecI in one way or anoTher To make The producTion a success. On March I, I956, The ceIebraTed Drama group, here aT Wilbraham Academy, presenTed MoIiere's Imaginary Invalid. 74 This play, as you have probably guessed by The TiTle, is concerned wiTh a hypo- chondriac.

RE 3-7891 CAPITOL CLEANERS AND LAUNDERERS NEW DRY CLEANING PROCESS makes garments 6 times cleaner than any other dry cleaning in the World! 605 N. Main St. Palmer 0401- 800 . . . our mutual concern. Roughly a decade ago YOUR SON, now a student at Wilbraham Academy, went out into the world, took his place in a new society, and, without close parental supervision, stood on his own two feet. This was the Hrst phase of his formal education. You knew that your son's transition from home to school would be a pleasant, happy one for undoubtedly he entered one of the nation's fine kinder- gartens . . . the kind of a school that provides a period of adjustment and preparation. . .adjustment to a new and controlled society of people and prep- aration for the more exacting demands of grade school work. Were it not for an enterprising Springfield manufacturer such a thing as kindergarten would probably not exist in America today .... for the kinder- garten movement in this country appeared to be still-born. Established in Boston in 1860 by Elizabeth Peabody, the first kindergarten was met with skepticism and, in some quarters, ridicule. However, in 1868, a man by the name of Milton Bradley became interested in kindergartens and breathed new life into the moribund movement. Putting his wealth and power behind it, he published the first kindergarten text in English, working with educators, he developed mate- rial and teaching aids which he produced for schools on a non-profit basis. The kindergarten movement took hold and is today an institution . . . and Milton Bradley's important role won for him the title of Father of the American Kindergarten . Today, close to a century later, the company which bears his name produces a wide range of educational items, some of which are used by your son in Wilbraham Academy. Color materials, teaching aids and school furniture in addition to World Famous Milton Bradley Games are all standard company products that are used from kindergarten through college across the nation. Today the founder's abiding interest in America's youth is so closely woven into the structure of the organization that the two are inseparable . . . So you and the Milton Bradley Company have perhaps the most important thing in the world in common .. . namely, a deep and lasting concern for the well-being and education of YOUR SON. i HOME OFFICE - 94 PARK STREET - SPRINGFIELD, MASS.
