After registration and the shock of the first look at dusty rooms and board-like beds, they settled down to making friends, en- during endless hours of tests, greeting the Rhein- gold girls, and inventing ingenious excuses to ward off the ubiquitous salesmen. An immediate controversy arose over the fact that ten Freshmen would be forced to live off campus; however, by devious and unknown methods, the necessary space was eventually found. By the next week the rest of us had arrived. We were greeted by changes on all sides. William Dunham, Jr. was named as J.E. ' s new master, and the Dramat had a new director in Nikos Psacharopolous. Mr. Bergin returned to T.D. after a semester in Italy, and Mr. Driver was again spellbinding his Po- litical Science classes. Heading toward the Co-Op to purchase books, we noted the completion of the spacious addition and new store. The New Haven Police Department, in a generous mood, had given Jerry his own private parking place and announced a reduction in fines. There were academic changes, too. Seniors were deprived of their jealously-guarded right to be excused from final exams in their majors. All of us winced at the thought of three and one half hour exams, and the Nei rs attacked the new policy as im- practical and distasteful. The Eli football team, strengthened by many returning lettermen, opened the season on Sep- tember 29, with a win over the University of Connecticut. The enthusiasm at this victory was mild in comparison to the emotions aroused that same week by an announcement from one of the deans that women would soon be admitted to Yale. A campaign to Keep Yale Male was established, while Neirs headlines blared out the question, Will women emasculate Yale? Such speculation was quickly brought to a halt by President Griswold ' s announcement that the deans were nowhere near deciding the question. Reluctantly — but not too reluctantly — we resigned ourselves to the long trek between New Haven and points north. Meanwhile, a record number of upperclassmen, influenced by the administration ' s new policy of closed fraternity parties, began a two week period of rushing. The Campus Police, on the job as usual, caught five thieves in one day. There was enough music to please everyone. Ella Fitzgerald and Norman Granz stopped off for a brief visit at Cutler ' s, and Judy Holliday delighted capacity audiences at the Shubert in Bells are Ringing. Other audiences in Woolsey Hall heard Brahms and Beethoven by Brieff, Scrkin, and Von Kara- jan. Much of the important news at Yale this fall centered around the national election, a subject n ' s new hnckey rink uiiis nfipyoval of Yale community. whidi demonstrated our interest in politics if not always our good manners. Perhaps the most no- table, and certainly the most disastrous, political event was the visit of Adlai Stevenson. The en- thusiasm shown by state Democratic leaders in Woolsey Hall was swiftly brought to a halt by a largely pro-Eisenhower mob outside, whose re- ception was something less than cordial. The New York Times described the rudeness of our resident political scientists and Time ran a picture and story of the event. A visit by Ike was a possibility which never materialized, but Vice- President Nixon came in his place to deliver a B. .? -;« «,? ni .iiu.lher u c,i brief talk, this time on the green. Our attention turned to state and local politics as well. Robert Giaimo and Albert Cretella, candidates for con- gressmen from New Haven, appeared before various student and city groups, as did Senators Bush and Kennedy and Governor Ribicoff. The John Dewey Society discussed the economic issues of the campaign, while the Political Union con- sidered Ike or Adlai in ' 56. ' ' , the decision going to the former. A student poll in early November indicated an Eisenhower landslide, the results of which were borne out by similar surveys at Har- vard and Princeton. A landslide it was, and the next day the Co-Op offered all Stevenson books at half price. But there was more to the Yale scene this fall. The Charities Drive announced and reached its goal of $35,000, due to the efforts of hard-work- ing canvassers. The Yale Corporation proudly revealed a surplus of $17,140 for the preceding year, and at the same time plans were annonnced for a million-dollar women ' s dormitory to be located on Temple Street. Our attentions turned They hii iighl urdey out aj chaos. to the international situation as visitmg Professor Hans Morganthau joined with Yale ' s Professors Rudin and Sharpe in presenting a forum on The Real Issues Behind the Suez Crisis. Granville Hicks, noted literary critic, spoke to a large audience on The Predicament of the Serious Novelist; eight members of the Class of I960 faced the predicament of the suspended Freshmen as a result of their water bomb raids on Elm Street pedestrians. Iry Magazine, a publication planned by Yale students and designed for all Ivy League schools, made its initial appearance to mixed critical comment. After a brief and stormy existence as a subsidiary of the News. Ivy branched out with offices of its own in Hendrie Hall. Another budding publication, «- wi e Eli. subtitled How to Get on at Yale, quietly appeared on the news stands, promising a future installment titled, I Was a Stoolie for the UAC. The News, meanwhile, discovered the existence of a New York firm which was writing papers for Yale men at the rate of H c per word. A large crowd of parents was saluted at half-time of the Colgate game, but Eli hopes for an unde- feated season were dashed as the Red Raiders squeezed through with a 14-6 victory. Un- daunted Yale came back the following week to score a in over Dartmouth. This victory was SjturJ.iy jjleniouns brought bill .1 singit ' dis.ippoi ilmeiil. ovcrsliadowed, however, by the ancient and hon- orable (?) bladderball contest, in whicli the be- bop BANNER board triumphantly maintained an undefeated record by trouncing the moguls of the Record, News, and W YBC. Fires galore marked the first week of Novem- ber. The quick work of a Chi Phi pledge avoided serious damage to York Hall; a fire in the base- ment of Wright Hall sent feathers flying and pillows burning to the tune of $5,000. Silliman College announced a contest for the wisest invest- ment of $100,000 — in theory only. Handsome Dan became a national celebrity as his picture adorned the cover of Spoils lllnstraleci . With the long-awaited approval for the UAC ' s recommen- dation to allow the use of refrigerators in college Parc,!l D.iy l„,i,ul m.nn .il ihc Boul rooms, the newspapers were filled v ith ads from appliance stores. Berkeley residents staged a meal boycott to protest the inedible food and poor dining hall policies. For those seeking something more in entertainment than Tempest in the Flesh, ( Was she a sinner ... or slave to her desires? ) the Shubert offered a brilliant produc- tion of Eugene O ' Neil ' s autobiographical drama, Long Day ' s Journey Into Night, in which Bradford Dillman, a former Dramat president, played O ' Neil ' s counterpart. If the fall season had been pointing toward one particular event, it was the Princeton game. Beat Princeton signs began to appear the Mon- day before the game and increased both in quan- tity and cleverness throughout the week. Even though Princeton was spelled wrong on some of them it didn ' t matter; for a new sense of spirit and pride in Yale had descended on the campus. A rally on the Old Campus attracted 2,000 undergraduates who heard Coach Jordan Olivar and Captain Mike Owseichik voice their confidence in a Yale victory. Finally, on Novem- ber 17, a crowd of orange-and-black-jacketed Princetonians saw their team bow 42-20, to a Yale team playing as it never had before. The week end also marked the Glee Club ' s first ap- pc.irance of the season, while the Dramat opened its season with the highly acclaimed production of Christopher Fry ' s, The Lady ' s Not jor B rn- jiii . The Yale-Princeton debate, Resolved: That a good woman would put up a better cam- paign than the losing presidential candidate went thri)ui;h as planned; but a complaint from the N.S.P.C.A. thwarted the etTlorts of tlie Pier- son Sty Stompers and the Trumhull Fiyadores to establish a new Pig Day. Yet in a week in which Beat Princeton was the universal byword, perhaps the most significant event had notliing to do with football or tigers, but with wars and freedom. On November 13, a dramatic rally was held at Woolsey Hall to pledge support to the students of Hungary who ■erc engaged in a heroic struggle for freedom from their Communist oppressors. After listening to the appeals of Deans DeVane and Rostow, Prii- fessor Scully, and Andre Schiffrin, campus or- ganizations and individual students contributed over $3,000 to aid the cause of freedom in Hun- gary. The newly-formed Committee for Yale Emergency Aid to Hungarian Students admin- istered the funds and was instrumental in or- ganizing similar movements in colleges and universities throughout the country. The Univer- sity announced plans to allocate scholarship funds and bursary jobs to qualified Hungarian stu- dents, and many of us participated in a program to teach English to Hungarian refugees. By these actions, we showed that the new spirit which had invaded Yale extended not only to campus activi- ties, but to world problems as well. Before we knew it, our newly-restored Thanks- giving vacation was here. Some of us headed south for New York and the Biltmore, while others traveled to Boston to witness Yale ' s vic- tory over Harvard, clinching for the Elis the first formal Ivy League championship. Jordan Olivar was named New England ' s Coach of the Year: Ouseichik charms croud at Princeton pep rally... Denny McGill and Paul Lopata were named to the all-East first team. Just to complete a win- ning season, the J V ' s finished with an unde- feated record, and the soccer team ' s victory over Harvard assured them first place in the Ivy League. At the same time in far-off Australia another Yale team won for itself the respect and admiration of people throughout the world. Our crew, defeated in the first race, staged a miracu- lous comeback in the next two encounters to win a gold medal for the Lfnited States. and student support brought spirit and victory. One of iht ' lt.im. Back at Yale, we found ourselves in the home stretch between Thanksgiving and Christmas. It was a period which brought deserved recognition to several Seniors. Andre Schiffrin and Roger Donald were awarded fellowships for study at Clare College, while Rhodes scholarships went to Clark Cunningham, Roger Hansen, and Erwin Fleissner. Four English girls, also anxious to do their part in furthering Anglo-American relation- ships, advertised for correspondents at Yale. In- A questio)! of courtesy. surance Woyhl, the News ' follow-up publication to W all Street, 1955, was published and received with praise, in spite of the appearance of a simi- lar publication at the same time. Containing arti- cles written by prominent alumni, bis nance W orld was distributed to 300,000 students tiiroughout the country. With victories in the first basketball and hockey games, December was off to a promising start. Harold A. Lehrman spoke on The Crisis in the Middle East, while President Griswold, who had earlier received a degree of Doctor of Laws from Wesleyan University, noted the declining in- fluence of the liberal arts in the United States and Europe. A unique precedent was established as a Freshman attended his classes via telephone. The News, off on another crusade, ran a feature en- titled, New Haven Hotels: Worse Than Death ; but in spite of it all, the Taft and the Duncan managed to stay solvent. The Record published its annual parody issue, using the New York Daily Mirror as its model. The university re- vealed a model of its own, this one of the ultra- modern Ingalls Hockey Rink, to be constructed at the corner of Sachem and Mansfield streets. Seating up to 5,000 persons, it will be com- pleted in the winter of 1957-58. However, at that time, our thoughts were on the more imme- diate matter of Christmas vacation, and, after caroling on the cross campus and college parties, we headed home for two weeks. After a vacation of fun and or relaxation, we returned to New Haven. The Glee Club had en- joyed a successful Christmas tour; the hockey and basketball trips had been less promising. The Nev ' Haven merchants slashed their prices in their annual after-Christmas sales, attracting many students interested in scarves and ear mufifs for the below-zero weather in early January. After an unsuccessful attempt last year, the skating fans of Timothy Dwight froze over their court- yard and kept it going for three days before the elements combined against it. We became aware of the high cost of educa- tion as the administration reluctantly announced a $200 increase in tuition for next year, the third such raise since 1952. On a more promising note, the publication of Some Must W- atch. a novel by Junior Edwin Daly, brought to three the num- ber of works by Yale students to receive public recognition. Earlier in the year. Children of the Lcidyhiig. written as a part of the Scholar of the House program by Robert Thom, was published and received a public reading in New York. The Viit . ' Yale Drama ScIidoI presented 1 he Bridge by Joseph Caldwell, second year Drama School stu- dent. Caldwell later adapted his play for a na- tional television showing. In a brief ten days after our return, exams were upon us. The library was filled to overflowing, and Whitlock ' s and the Co-Op noted a large in- crease in outline sales as the frantic review began. In spite of night exams and crowded schedules, we struggled through, feeling that, for the most part, the increase in length of exams was a suc- cessful policy. Crutches and canes made their appearances as those who had time between semesters took time off for a quick trip to Stowe for skiing. Those who stayed in New Haven found entertainment for every taste. Violinist Zino Francescati performed at Woolsey Hall; a former Broadway hit, Fanny, and a hit-to-be, A Visit to a Small Planet, were on view at thc Shubert; and just about everyone agreed th.it A record ten below. great was the best word for The Great Man. If this had been a semester of fun, it had also been at times a semester marked by sadness and death. We noted with sorrow the passing of Walter J. Wohlenberg, former dean of the Yale School of Engineering, and Julian J. Obermann, Professor Emeritus of Semitic languages and a faculty member for 2 5 years. John J. Gill, long- time superintendent of the Campus Police, died on November 9; Burton Scantlebury, steward of stewards in Yale ' s societies and fraternities, served his last meal; and Mose King, former box- ing coach and the oldest member of the athletic department, was the victim of a tragic automobile accident. They were gone, but they would not Another line jorms at Yale. easily be forgotten. With numerous resolutions to improve our N ork, we began the second semester. The Hoot, chased out of Hendrie Hall after a squabble with the administration over late hours, found a new home off campus. For other music lovers, WYBC opened its subsidiary station devoted entirely to the presentation of classical music. For Freshmen, it was a time of decision. Heeding the appeals of numerous posters plastered throughout the campus, the Class of I960 investigated the heel- ing systems of each organization and settled down to eight weeks of news-gathering, selling, and floor sweeping. Numerous inhabitants of North- ampton and Poughkeepsie received valentines reading Be my valentine — you deserve me. Miss Bowers instituted a plan for Sunday night buffets, much to the pleasure of all, especially those who managed five or six helpings of every- thing. The residents of J.E., however, were not quite so pleased with their meals. During one February week end, half of the college fell sick as the result of bad food, later staging a boycott of the dining hall. A thorough investigation was ordered, and harmony was restored. After an ex- tensive study of its own, the Yale School of Music announced plans to eliminate undergraduate edu- cation, thus making it the first completely grad- uate music school in the country. The noted evangelist, Billy Graham, came to Yale in February, and his impact was little short of sensational. As the principal speaker in the Yale Christian Mission, Graham delivered four talks on Christ — the Hope of the World. Large audiences in Woolsey Hall heard the famous Graham voice and saw the equally famous man- nerisms; smaller fraternity and seminar groups engaged him in informal discussions. Some were impressed, while others were disturbed; but Gra- ham ' s visit succeeded in stirring up the greatest degree of religious interest seen at Yale in some time. At the same time a new interest in our athletic teams was evident. On February 9, a capacity An elo, „ T-n the tables, etc., etc. . . . crowd saw the Eli basketball team overwhelm Princeton to take undisputed possession of first place in the Ivy League. After a later loss to Princeton placed them in a tie for first place with Dartmouth, the Elis came back into the lead by edging the Big Green 57-56, scoring the decisive point in the last two minutes of play. During the same week, the hockey team crushed a rough Princeton squad 7-3, and likewise moved into first place in the Ivy League. The Freshman swimming team, meanwhile, rolled up its thirtieth consecu- tive win, while Bob Kiphuth ' s varisty team made It 1 50 straight, bringing the total number of wins to over 500. A familiar part of Yale disappeared, as in- habitants of tiie Sachemville quonsets were or- dered to move, and the huts were torn down. The first week end in March saw an evacuation of an- other kind. This time the movers were residents of Bingham and Vanderbilt halls, and their rooms were swiftly taken over by — of all things — girls. The reason? Prom time was here again, and for the Freshmen it was a gala week end which in- cluded a concert by their glee clubs, parties on fraternity row, and the Prom itself, featuring the music of Lester Lanin and Pat Dorn. For the enjoyment of Freshmen and their dates, the Dramat presented its second production of the year, turning this time to an American play. 14 Arthur Miller ' s Broadway success, A View from the Bridt;c. A week later WooLsey Hall and Freshman Commons were transformcil into Dante ' s Heaven and Hell, as the Junior Prom brought Lcs Hl art and Tiny Markle to Yale. A change of location from the ym lowered ex- penses and raised attendance, residtin ' in a hii;hl ' successful Prom. The short time before vacation, was filled with visits by noted speakers representing diverse fields and interests. In a lecture sponsored by tlic Neic.f. Joseph Koevago, mayor of Budapest, spoke on present-day conditions in Hungary. Jean-Louis Barrault, noted French actor-director, took time off from his schedule of plays in New York to present a lecture entitled, Presentation de Claudel to a capacity audience in the University Theater. James B. Reston, chief of the New York Times Washington bureau, analyzed both na- tional and international problems for faculty and undergraduate discussion groups, and Robert Graves, poet and author, discussed The Dis- eases of Scholarship. Artur Rubenstein, re- nowned pianist, made an appearance at Woolsey Hall in a concert which featured works by Brahms, Beethoven, and Chopin. Meanwhile, two Yale fixtures, and celebrities in their own right, were conspicuously absent. Jerry suffered a stroke and was temporarily missing from his post in Yale Station, and Janet, head waitress in Fresh- man Commons, was the victim of ulcer troubles which tiirtailed her activities for the remainder of the year. F ' inally spring vacation w.is here. Many of us heeded the call of the south and headed for Florida, Cuba, or Bermuda; others had to settle for a sun-lamp in Ohio or Missouri. The singing groups fell into the former classification, as, after weeks ol preparation, rehearsing, and budgeting, they began their tours of the east coast, finishing up with engagements in Florida or Bermuda. After two weeks of sunning and s imming, we returned to Yale for the last weeks before finals. During that time the John Dewey Society brought guest speakers to Yale to partici- pate in an impressive forum on The Shifting Balance of Power, ' and the Dramat readied its annual spring musical. Fraternity and College week ends passed, complete with dances, picnics, beer-drinking contests, and jazz concerts. Exams came and went, and suddenly we found ourselves at the end of another year at Yale. For some, it was the last; for others, only a beginning. But whatever the case, as we looked back on the events of 19 56- 5 7, we might have recalled the words of ' Bright College Years : In after years, should troubles rise To cloud the blue of sunny skies, How bright ivill seem through memory ' s haze Those happy, golden bygone days! Maybe there ' s something to that, after all! ti illiiir ihe m.iddiiiR croud. 19 57 a Ea EESSjE HONORS COMMITTEES Ww ' ' li-i flr :K«. «r -i2 G !iy.

People found it necessary to resurrect the spirit of the individual and grant him the use of his birthright — the free- dom of expression. Not to be outdone by the events on the international scene, Berkeley rose to the challenge and presented that stronghold of despotism, the Yale Dining Hall System, with an ultimatum. Cries of more food, better food, 68 1 shorter lines, etc. were lie.ird ethoint; tlinHiL;li- out tlie Tunnel. A threatened boycott ot the din- ing hall recei ed no .iLtion from the opposition. This threat was carried out with minor success. This caused the revolutionaries to revert to arbi- tration as a more civilized approach to the prob- lem. With the aid of the master, a truce team composed of Chip Anderson, Pete Cooke, and Gerry Snyder managed to iron out some of the troubles and reduce the situation to one of minor chaos. It has been rumored that the peace con- ferences were hampered by Cooke ' s presence as lie is an avowed lover of Berkeley food. This example of Berkeley determinism is representative of the spirit which prevails in the college. The Mitremen have proved time after time that they can and will take the initiative in getting things done. A good example of this is the contribution of time and energy of Andre Schiffrin, Joel Kovel, Clem Labine, and Al Shiff in organizing and carrying through the Hungarian Relief program. The fact that Berkeley has sur- passed her goal in the charities drive for the past few years exemplifies the type of undergraduate found in the college. This year Berkeley went over the top again, thanks to the efforts of that learned professor of psychological sohcitation, Art Gibb and his energetic agents. The main source of all this energy and vital- ity is the master, Mr. Mendenhall. T. C. is admired and befriended by all who are asso- ciated with him. His influence spreads beyond the walls of the college as he is Yale ' s profes- Ihonij C. MtndtiihciU. MaHtr sional committeeman. Even the ' indo s along York Street pay tribute to Uncle Tom. Certain establishments have been noticed displaying loud, plaid sports jackets. Some undergraduates are of the opinion that the master missed his calling in entering the field of history. There is a feeling that he could have reached ethereal heights had he been a chemist. The Atomic Energy Commis- sion has been begging for the formula for Old Tennis Shoe for years, but, of course, some things must be kept sacred. Some of the spirit and drive found in the col- lege is evident on the athletic field. The Berkeley Class of 1957 69 T intercollege teams are perennial powers and tliis year was no exception. The soccer team compiled an excellent record this fall and managed to do well enough to win the championship for the second straight year. The team was led by cap- tain Chip Anderson and included seniors Ben Wood, Charlie Mee, Fred Coulter, Phil Derby. Joiin Quarles, and John Tracey. The Mitre football team wound up the season with an impressive record. The team, under the direction of captain Dig Brown, Coach Roger Oboe Jones, and tutor Jim ( nice guys finish last ) Crooks had a few rough breaks at the start, but soon matured into a strong gridiron unit. Berkeley finished the season by being the only Yale team to win in the post-season games at Harvard. Included in the lineup were halfback Ed Bullard and linemen Pete Cooke, Charlie Rinaldi, Brian Goodman, Sandy England, Dick Benson. The A basketball team was captained by Bill Finn, who doubled as touch football captain in the fall. The hockey team was under the direc- tion of Gary Cann, and the swimming team was led by co-captains Dick Adams and George Wiley. The second annual entry H fall party came off even better than expected. The band was excellent and Colin Thompson ' s punch flowed like water. The party, timed immediately following the Princeton game, overflowed with voices and glasses raised in praise of the Bulldogs. Some- how, a Freshman found his way into the party and had to be carried home in a state of shock. After the week end, Berkeley settled down to do some concentrated planning to make the follow- ing week end up in Cambridge even better. The activities in which the men of Berkeley participate vary and stretch throughout the year. The football dances were extremely successful as evidenced by the increased attendance of both residents and men from other colleges. The new social ticket is feeling its way through various stages of growing pains, and from all reports it is destined to a sound future. Most of the activi- ties carried on in Berkeley are products of a method of spontaneous suggestion adhered to m the master ' s advisory council. The council, with Chip Anderson as chairman, was the breeding place for many gems of wisdom this year. Meet- ing in the master ' s parlor were such sages as Peter Grose, Charlie Rinaldi, John Tracey, Curt Ryan, Andre Schiffrin and Peter Cooke. This group managed to forsake their buffoonery occa- sionally and produce some remarkable results One of the more notable offsprings of the coun cil in the past few years is the mid-winter costume ball. This gala affair has developed into a Ber keley tradition. This year ' s dance acquired the 70 J title Prohibition Ball. As always, those attend- ing were invited to use their imagination to pro- duce the best interpretation of the days of prohi- bition in their costumes. The dance committee made a broad interpretation of the twenty-first amendment as far as refreshments were con- cerned. The council has also made some steps in the right direction in solving that age-old problem of student-fellow relations. A new plan is in the process of going through its trial run. Reports up to date are encouraging. One subject makes its annual appearance dur- ing the council meetings, but those living in the South Court inevitably table any motion made to bring this dream into reality. The proposal is to install electric eyes on the lavatory doors in North Berkeley. Those living in the North Court feel it is the responsibility of colleges to keep up with the developments of the Atomic Age. The annual gathering in the master ' s house for beer and carols before Christmas vacation was thoroughly enjoyed by all who attended. Solos by Mr. Mendenhall, Professor Watkins, and Bill Mallender highlighted the evening. The gradua- tion of Mallender will definitely leave a vacancy in next year ' s gathering which will be hard to fill. Bill has been the spirit of Christmas in flan- nel for the past three years. The activities found in Berkeley also include those which offer some intellectual challenge. The year marked the first apperance of the annual im- promptu speaking contest, following which the Berkeley College debating team was organized. Chief player, Brian Goodman, fell heir to a difiicult task. He was responsible for maintaining the high caliber of performance for which the Berkeley Players are noted. Goodman, aided by a host of men from the college, staged the first production before Christmas. The players had done it again. Working on a tight schedule, they managed to give an excellent performance of Galsworthy ' s The Litlle Alan. Encouraged by the results of their first play, the players rehearsed for their second production, Ben Jonson ' s The Silent W ODian. The third production of the year, traditionally a musical, on College Week End, was still undecided upon. The Seniors seen in these plays included Wayne Holman, Marvin Cox, Dick Seltzer, English Showalter, Larry New- man, Ted Waltuch, and Joel Kovel. The men of Berkeley have made their presence known in the realm of university athletics. Fred Williams captained the Yale soccer team to the Ivy League championship this year, and Ev Hedeen has been honored with the captainq ' of the track team. Other faces often seen represent- ing Yale in the fields of jocular activity in- clude Berkeley ' s swimmer from Down Lender, Rex Aubrey and skier Dig Brown. Ed Bullard distintjuished himself on the lacrosse field and Curt Ryan performed admirably for the hockey team. Peter Jackson wore the Blue while on horse- back and contributed to the efforts of the polo team. Berkeley had her share of men who have par- ticipated in various university activities. Outgoing Record chairman, Ren Zimmerman, also a Whiff, was aided in his duties by art editor Phelps Berdan. Pete Baibach and John Tracey contributed to the BANNER ' S success. Dave Lawrence used his technical ability to help out at WYBC. The Dramat profited from the talents of Paul Asselin, Phil Derby, and Ray Sipherd. Phil Richards served as publicity manager for the Yale Band, and Peter Grose served on the board of under- graduate deacons. Yes, Berkeley has been heard from. From wliat has been said it is e ident tliat Berkeley is more than a dormitory to her resi- dents. There is a certain feeling of belonging found in the college. This feeling results in gains for both the individual and the community. There is no pushing in Berkeley where a man is cordially directed to do something, but the record officers proof of almost 1009f participa- tion by the residents. Whether actively participat- ing or just watching, the Berkeley man is inter- ested in the life surrounding him. When some- one has to take the initiative, no one waits for volunteers. The men in the college are not in- clined to hop on the band wagon after it has picked up speed. No, the Mitremen get out and push to get things started. As every year in the past, some must leave in June. They will leave and the college will re- main, but there will always be a tie between the graduates and their former home. They will al- ways have the memories. ; I f BRANFORD b] Rayi JOnJ Gmniar Carlso)i BRANFORD COLLEGE is beneath Harkness Tower. When Harkness rings, Branford resonates. When Harkness does not ring, the Master ' s schedule for the day is shattered. His- torically Branford is part of the Memorial Quad- rangle, and by its location is virtually the heart of the campus. By living in Branford, students are in good position to wal k to other colleges, sprint to the gym, slip over to the Dramat, march en masse to flicks, thunder to hotels, stroll to 73 . fraternities, and sneak to societies. Branford is there, and there it will remain as long as Hark- ness peals its noon hour greeting and as long as students pass through the large cast iron gates every spring. Residents of Branford, however, are aware that Harkness rings for the other colleges also. Far be it from them to consider their college aside from Yale, for Branford thrives within Yale; it joins Yale in the search for intellect; Branford is Yale. As Freshmen we come to Yale, we tell all that we are studying at Yale, and as Seniors, we soon are to leave Yale. The meaning of Branford is for Yale men. To others it is just a word which equa ls dormitory. But here we can make good friends, work together, eat and drink and party, and manage to retain our identity in a university of Yale ' s size. In a more limited and unified atmosphere, Branford offers what Fresh- man year could not, primary concern for the likes and dislikes of the individual. In spite of all the colleges being part of the Yale system, each offers a personality slightly dif- ferent from the rest. Inside the moat and turrets and iron gates of Branford grows a man who is unique in the way he lives within the university. A Towerman is not a go-getter, but neither is he lazy, and to call him passive is an injustice. Per- haps he can be explained collectively as the col- lege itself. Yet the college does change. Every year a different class enters and it adds to the gradual evolution of a new Branford. But as each c lass comes and goes, what they actually give to the college is but a grain of sand on the beach, compared to what they are permitted to take away. This is not hard to believe when we realize that from a purely physical standpoint, our college has never been better equipped. Library space has been increased and reserve books added. There are more sports than ever, coffee hours, student fellows meetings, teas, dances, etc. all an out- standing residential college needs, including an able master. The limiting factor in a situation like this is the resident himself. It is for him to decide what role Branford should play during the year. He is the personality of the college. Last year Branford introduced a coffee hour in the common room which would serve to satisfy late sackers. Fellows, and anyone else interested in mid-morning coffee. Initially a coffee machine and all the necessary materials were purchased. At a nickel a throw, this informal morning ritual was expected to pay for its apparatus sooner or later. It will be later. At the current rate of ex- change, sleepy-eyed Branfordites will have paid for their pot in two hundred and thirty-nine years. Great work, Branford! Another Branford first this year has been the additions to the library. Not only have new lights and desks been added to the older library, but also an annex was added in the basement for the purpose of housing reserve books. Since the library lost its overstuffed, sleep-producing couches, some studiers like Bobby Clark and Scott Canncll find the call of the library too weak to succumb to. Hence, snoring has been reduced to a minimum. Someone complained of the stuffy condition of the library annex and an evacuating fan was immediately ordered by the master ' s of- fice. The fan, now in service, consists of a hulk- ing ton of machinery clinging to the ceiling, and it is approached with some hesitation by curious 74 studiers. But it manages to heat, cool, roan. moan, and rattle, and if spoken to sweetly it does Econ. 10 problems. During the fall season, and with the wonderful weather which was enjoyed during the October and November months, Branford experienced a revival of outdoor parties. Under the auspices of the Pete Fulierton, Howie Giliis, and Dave Bow- man mob, the center court became the scene of extensive parties after Saturday football games. An incessant flow of gin punch attracted Yalies and their dates from all colleges and even from other parties. What a happy crowd! No one cared whether you were a Salamander, a Bull, a Slave, or a Towerman. So many people, and all friends! It certainly was a good punch! On the week ends of the Brown and Dart- mouth games and also on February ninth. Bran- ford offered diversion for the Towermen in the form of dances. An expanded and enhanced so- cial calendar for the college permitted these, and they were exceptionally popular and very well received. Dance music was supplemented by cakes and cookies and a time-honored, proven punch. Later in the year, however, another tasty beverage showed true qualities of a starting player, i.e. bold, efficient, endurable, and more substantial. Its name is Old Tennis Shoe and its formula is memorized and only in the hairy head of Mar- shall J. Dodge, social chairman exceptionalc. Decorations for the dances have also been ex- traordinary, for they have transferred our dining hall magically to a Parisian cafe, an oriental 5. Buct. M.I opium den, and a night in old San Franci.sco. Yes, captivating surroundings for alluring, en- chanting, irresistible women. What else? Reporters at large — Kelvyn Lawrence and Ken Kauke. These boys compile and edit news of Branford and the completed work is the Tower Bulletin. Editorials, sports, society, boff, and bosh; its all yours in the Bulletin. If you want to know Branford, and even if you only want to see your name in print, be sure to pick up a copy off Chris ' s desk. Fall season is also pre-med season. A regu- Class of 1957 1jja ai if. 1 %%lV t « I f f t- 1 t f f ? f t f M ' g , 75 i lar (there are none) in Branford has no idea how large the load is that these pre-pill-and-poke men carry their Senior year, at least until they are accepted . . . somewhere. These are burdens of anxiety, and our Paul Leand, Wayne Downey, Temby Argall, Rob Corry, and Gordon Philpot- teek know what they are like. But whether it is pre-med panic time, or law, or business, or what- ever, there is a remedy which probably all Bran- fordites have used at least once. Temporary relief is found by visiting with Mrs. Buck during one of her teas, and also having a few words with the master. Here one ' s fears are dispelled by Mrs. Buck ' s appealing anecdotes, Mr. Buck ' s sound, persuasive argument, the delicious cakes, and the perplexing puzzles, and the cartoon books the tea. This is good tea. and At teas it is possible to find people you ordi- narily don ' t run into, and it is a good place to meet fellows you want to chat with. (Of course there are no rules for attendance, so you needn ' t chat at all , you can just eat. This is better than Sunday dinner anyway. ) The tea is just a Bran- ford gathering, and it ' s fun. If a Branford stu- dent aide talks with Herb Donner, Herb might be overheard saying: Say Dave, would you mind working for Ken in the office Friday, please. ' ' Golly, I hate to bother you, but ... Herb is chief aide and is doing a great job at a difficult post. His army is equipped with wrist radios, and by means of his transmitter he is able to tell where they are at all times of the day. Keep up the good work. Herb. Alex Buhler was captain of the Branford football team this fall. Meeting him at a tea on Sunday afternoon may bring this, Ah know we c ' n beat those gahs! Ah cam ' t undah- stynd whah we laost. He probably would be talking about the last football game. But Bran- ford didn ' t lose all last season, they tied one. This tie had little soothing effect on such Bran- ford roughs as Kurt Bloch, Stu Miller, Charlie Ard, and George Schuyler. The quality of the starting team was quite possibly the best in the league, but there wasn ' t anybody to substitute. It was like writing a three hour exam with one pen- al. After two hours the lead is so dull that you can ' t read what you ' ve written. Mahlon B. Wal- lace also is always at the teas and ready to chat with his friends. Tiie subject of sports also brings to mind Branford ' s other athletic clubs. Shaun Cunning- ham captains baseball and plays shortstop. Vic Nails Goodman is softball captain, Al Vos- burg is golf prexy, and Dave Reed whips the crew. Basketball is trifled with by Steve Slim Ackerman. Word has it that he has good material this winter. Pour it home, Ack! Branford has often been more successful in intercollege sports than it has been this year. Of course there are quite a few athletes playing varsity sports ( as they should be), but this is not the major cause for the decrease in the college ' s winning power. Rather, the answer lies in lack of get-out-and- play, resulting in short handed teams and even forfeits. Not so dismal however, is the fact that some teams are strong, and that we do have the material to field more winning teams than we do. The Tyng trophy may be out of the question this year, but let Branford show its real abilities on the courts and on the fields at every contest. 76 In his leisure time, it he has .my lett o er fn)m his studies, the Branford man is supphed with several means by which lie can entertain himself, or be entertained. These means do not include flicking out. Any questions pertaining to flicks should be directed to Roger Samet, Jeflf Bard, Brad Krosnofi , and Pete Johnston. These experts know all there is to know about the cur- rent movies, for their experience is practical. They have not missed a New Haven flick since the fall of ' 53. Branford screen diversion is in television form. The snack bar, managed this in the college ant received. lave been enthusiastically year by Bob MacKinnon, is the home of the set. Both T.V. and bar do big business (then, too, some have their own T.V. sets). Also down in the basement is the game room where pool and ping-pong can be played, and the squash courts are hidden down there somewhere too. About a year ago Tim Towell went down to play squash and was gone for the whole semester. The common room is another source of pleas- ure, less active pleasure perhaps. It is stocked with chess and checker sets, a grand piano ( just tuned ) , and magic magazines — they disappear before you can read them. A newly-formed dis- cussion series tends to give students a firmer and closer association with the faculty, which is val- uable to the mode of education at Yale. Enter- tainment for those who enjoy good music is found in good measure during the concerts on Sunday nights. There have been four of them this year This year Branford lias been blessed with a dietician who is not overly concerned witii the number of peas on a plate, but seems inclined to be of service to the college consumers. Thank you, Mrs. Townsend. Mrs. Wright in the master ' s office slaves away daily for the college. Besides everyday concerns of the students, she is able to turn out such helpful products as the college directory. Branford also pays its respects to Arleigh Richardson, executive fellow, who has been of great help by his work with the library and the college council. The master of Branford College is seemingly as lasting and permanent as Calliope Court. It all started back in Sep)tember, 1954, when the Hark- ness Chimes first began ringing their dubious promise over our heads. Norman B. Buck guided the class through the past three years, just as he has guided fourteen previous classes in Bran- ford. With the onset of spring of our Senior year, we begin to realize the value of his service to us, to Branford, and to Yale. With the onset of spring a paradoxically feverish lethargy also set in. The frenzied con- fusion of graduating is best obscured by a nap in the sun. And thus we glide to the end of our days in Branford. 77 ( CALHOUN b) Chorles Farvinglou Leahy Scene: A group of students in a lecture room somewhere in Yale. They are obviously Freshmen, since they are clean-shaven and bright-eyed. One speaks, When is this college representative coming. At that moment a man enters, with a bliss- ful, friendly, but rather distracted smile. Before the murmur of voices dies, he begins. 78 ( Hello, friends. Sorry I ' m late, but I had trouble getting away from some people who wanted to see me. Now that we have finally installed rush- ing for colleges as well as fraternities, I ' m sup- posed to talk to you about Calhoun. But instead of plunging right in, I thought I might give a brief introduction, so you can set my speech in its proper historical, sociological, and political context. You know, in the service there ' s an old saying that griping men are truly happy men. As long as people have something to hate, they ' ll be all right. Have you ever thought that the same miglit be true of us, because if you measured the quantity of griping per man, you would have to conclude that students are among the happiest men in the world. You want examples? O.K. Now take the Neirs. They ' re the appointed spokesmen for the student, and they ' re always griping about something. One day its fraternities; somebody always wants to know if they ' re signi- pcant. Then its senior societies. Is it fair for the Cream of Yale manhood to go off to those restful tombs in Senior year, leaving the campus desolate.- ' But fraternities and societies are sea- sonal topics, the poor colleges are always getting poked and prodded. And the biggest kick is always the allocations system. Now I ask you, is this anything to get excited about? You think so, don ' t you, son. Well, I ' m here to talk about col- leges, to try to explain why systems aren ' t really that crucial. A few years ago they used to pick the members of colleges by having a huge dice game, the winning Master taking whomever he Archih.dd S. Fnoiil, Mji er wanted, and the others dividing up what was left. They found that some of the men were using questionable dice, and in a moment of despera- tion, turned the whole thing over to the IBM machines. You know all the arguments they ' ve had since then about choice, no choice, partial choice. But here ' s the point that they miss every time. No matter what the selection system used, one thing is always true. You want to know what that is? The truth that always remains constant is that Calhoun College, year after year, since the beginning of ' Western Civilization, has been the KING OF COLLEGES. That ' s right, the KING Class of 1957 IP. ' At 79 OF COLLEGES! Why is this true? you mi ht ask. Since you have, I ' ll tell you. Let ' s start by looking at the building. It seems to have little more than any other college, ex- cept perhaps the noisiest corner in New Haven, a fact which Calhoun men take due note of every autumn en Trolley Night ( free beer, singing, jokes, but— NO TRANSFERS!! There ' s barely enough beer for us ) . Oh, one could say that it is conveniently located, lovely court, well-tuned piano in the sumptuous Common Room, featuring Merrell Clark nightly from 7:00-8:00, cocktails by Edna on request. Or that perhaps Steve Heath ' s snack bar, with exquisite Toddle House cuisine, is the finest spot in New Haven, with all respect to Jesse and Frank ' s on Wall Street. Nice, but not the whole answer, you ' ll say. Well, you ' ve heard of the mythological world known as Yale Moguldom. (You know, how many moguls will fit a page of the Yearbook?) Oh, yes, moguls. Deep in Calhoun is a room filled with phones. Is it the heart of the New Haven numbers game? No, it ' s the spot from which Class Secretary Gary Bellow and Class Treasurer Bide Thomas direct their legions, try- ing to make thin-walleted Seniors understand that one doesn ' t graduate free of charge, or leave all one ' s obligations to Yale back in New Haven come June. High atop G entry in the late after- noon the careful observer can see silent forms flitting in and out of the domicile of Dick Lump- kin, chief electronic tube in Yale ' s fastest grow- ing organization. Fraternity presidents? We have so many it ' s Useless to name them, but I will say that Ink Clark fitted an IFC presidency around bringing you this version of the Class Book, aided and abetted by the professionals at the BAN- NER, and Art Editor Andy I ' m so sensitive Kner. Singing? We might say that the Augmented Seven achieved unprecedented heights under Paul Hull ' s leadership, before he retired to the less hectic life of a scholar. ( If any of you flick hounds had seen a television program last fall you would have seen the Whiff s and heard a voice saying. Tim Wilson from New York City. ) I was just going to note that Ed Masters defends our in- terests at the OCD, and Bob Rosefsky hunts for an interest to defend at the Reconl. and that Ed Meyer is so busy he is called the mogul ' s mogul, but I hear a question. You say that you understand that Calhoun has most of the people who hold crucial posts in campus organizations. But you wish to know about athletics; you can ' t believe Calhoun has cornered the market there. Well, I didn ' t want to embarrass the rest of Yale by going into that, but if you insist. Should I mention Jim Brady, Jim Van Alen, and Pierre Bourquin, masters of art in chasing hockey pucks. ' ' Or Hugh Young, i.e. Pops, of lacrosse fame? Would you like to hear about Eddie Robinson, twice captain of the basketball team, at this time hoping to lead his men to an Ivy Championship? Then there is the sole proprietor of Yale ' s larg- est biceps, Olympic Crewman Charlie Grimes. Ah, you noticed that I ' ve saved the knockout punch for last! Here we are! Calhoun has five (count them) starters on the winners of the first official Ivy League Football Championship; Paul Lopata, whose catch against Army in ' 55 gave Yale its sweetest non-Ivy victory in years; Al Ward, who crushed Harvard ' s foolish hopes in the ' 56 finale with a seventy-plus yard kickoft return; Dean Loucks, whose quarterbacking and passing reached perfection in the recent humilia- tion of the upstart youths from Tigertown; and for a demonstration of all-around balance, Cap- 80 ! tain Mike Owsclcliik and Bide Thom.is, wiiu led the most devastating Yale line seen lor nian years. ( Bill Williams, who stayed an extra ear. to be sure that his knowledge was passed on to the Freshmen he coached, took time each Sunday to be featured performer for New Haven ' s own Ajax Rams. See agent at Rosey ' s for further in- formation). Oh, hut haven ' t you heard enough? Can there be any doubt that mogul for mogul, Calhoun leads them all? [A messenger arrives with more mogul information.] Oh, yes. It ' s time for the constructive sug- gestions that all thinking men at Yale must even- tually make. Every spring (as is common knowl- edge) spring arrives. But the Yale man does not wait for spring; he waits for [stage direction: roll of drums] . . . TAP DAY. On this day cer- tain Seniors, unable to cap their Yale careers with History 59, are initiated into the rites of the black suit as a kind of secular substitute. This past year there were so many spooks, as the) are affectionately known, in Calhoun, that I was inspired to propose the following plan in the interest of convenience and general efficiency. Beginning next year Calhoun should be divided into as many sections as there are societies ( it is rumored there are four hundred and iifty at this writing. Some are so secret that the members have never met). From henceforth Calhoun should be designated ' Yale ' s Official Tomb. This would release vast spaces for seminar rooms, and other necessities such as a velvet kennel for Handsome Dan. Well, enough for suggestions. Back to the problem at hand. You, over there in the corner! You have a question? Ha, you were going to say triumphanti) tli.it all this external activity must certain!} ' im- poverish the intern.il life of Calhoun. No internal life, no college, ett., etc. I have been waiting for you, foolish man, so I could present my most devastating attack. No inner life? Not so, my good man, not so! What about the Compleat Body Building Program, offered by Athletic Aide (and footballer), Ted Frembgen, and another cleat-marked roommate, Colin Jensen? Does the gratuitous cry of no inner life explain Cal- houn ' s most successful social season to date, under the guidance of Da e ElwcU, Master Planner of Orgies, Emeritus? Said orgies publicized by the seductive posters of Ed Van Buren, and stimu- lated by the anesthetizing influence of an ancient Tibetan tribal drink, imported by Chief Priest Foord, and re-named the Foord Clutch, by po- tion expert Pete Greer. [Some sources claim that Mrs. Foord orig ' nally devised the mixture as a way of eliminating ants and other forms of wild life from her kitchen. One morning Mrs. Foord accidentally sampled it, and with an expert ' s palate immediately recognized its commercial pos- sibilities.] Look at the unblemished (?) record of the Houn football team, coached by Wayne Moeller and captained by Phil Weymouth, fea- turing the explosive charge of Pistol Pete Hollen- beck at guard. Dick Curran retired from varsity basketball to lead the ' Houn hoop addicts to the dizzying heights of the fifth floor madohuse. Hey, Mac! You signed your name on the sheet? Calhoun has so much internal life that some members find it necessary to form a college with- in a college, newly named The Institute for Perpetuating the Name of New Hampshire Prep Schools by Graduate Cohesion.

Here the deals are hatched which send Neal Blue to South America for a summer, or make it possible for Charlie Trippe ' s farfiung enterprises, already legends among all heelers hoping some day to control the purse strings of the OCD. What, are you going to in- terrupt again? All right, I imagine you want to know if men in the ' Houn, actually, I mean really think deeply about all of those problems of ex- istence. I shall cite examples which should silence you for the remainder of the evening. High on a Gothic parapet broods a lonely spirit, ponder- ing the meaning of things, hewing out a giant conception of GUILT. Of course, it ' s Calhoun ' s own Scholar of the House, Tink Thompson, known to the academic world as Josiah. Might I add also (while preening all the ' Houn ' s feath- ers) that the academic fame of the Houn is so high that it has reached England, beloved of English majors and other useless species. As a gesture of respect she sent us one of her favorite sons on a lend lease basis for a year, one Mike Jones, who is featured with Prof. Prouty every morning at coffee break, discussing Cambridge, etal.

During the course of the eve- ning, the Dixiehind of the Bullpups grew pro- gressively louder as the conversations of their audience diminished in tone and lessened in number. By midnight there was only the blaring music, the mute blankets dotting the courtyard lawn, and the overturned scotch coolers and crumpled paper cups. Yes, it would be like every other College Week End, we thought. But we were wrong . . . 83 The following afternoon was to be Davenport Field Day — a day which had always been directed by a leisurely spontaneity, a day when we could engage in water pistol melees with the Fellows of the college, enter a series of messy tests of skill, or sit quietly with our dates and consume the free beer until the sun disappeared behind Pierson ' s tower. But last year it was different. Only a few days before, the Sophomores had been insulted before the eyes of a mocking Yak- undergraduate body. They had been told that they were the products of a new creature whose offspring would undermine the indefinable foun- dations upon which Davenport rested. That Sat- urday, after a few agonizing days of bewilder- ment, the Sophomores accepted the challenge. They marched as a group into the upper court, bearing proudly upon their chests the very sin for which they had been condemned. Upon their white T-shirts were printed the bold black letters, IBM Athletic Club. The play- ful games of Field Day were transformed into competitive bat- tles. It became the rule to partici- pate rather than to observe. The sack race was upset by flying tackles from the sidelines; the chug-a-lugging contest dampened more clothing than throats; water pistols were discarded in favor of waste-paper baskets. The after- noon ended with Sophomore laughing with Junior and Senior. More significantly, each group could laugii at itself now. Perhaps the ne er members of Davenport have changed their college. Perhaps they have mod- ified or destroyed some of the old. But they have not left a void. Their very self-conscious- ness has created within them a vital concern for the future of their college — possibly a more vital concern than was shown by their predecessors. Although the Great Mechanical Bird Ibeni lingers over Davenport, its wings spread over the other nine resi- dential colleges as well. It ap- pears that Davenport, for one, will not be snuffed out. Her changes have not brought dete- rioration. Nay, Davenport is not dead. Despite the change, much of the old still re- mains. The skillful Davenport Players are still pelted with lime skins during their annual per- formance; our martini-trained athletes still place no higher than fifth and no lower than eighth in Tyng Cup competition; the golden boys of the Cricket Club have yet to soil their bermuda- tanned knees on the odious grass of a cricket field; the Wednesday Evening Bird Watching Society still journeys to Northampton and New London to observe the biological habits of the species; a few of us still gather for Sunday break- fast at the Old Heidelberg; and Phil Levine ' s sparsely covered head still fails to respond to the treatments of his atomic-powered hair restorer. At the beginnmg of the fall semester we were happy to welcome a few members of the college who had nut been with us the previous year. It was particuLirly ratifyin to liavc Ned Boshell, wiio was in the hospital fighting a case of para- lytic polio last year, amongst us again. Jack Erick- son, Gil Leppelmeier, John Loudon, and Reed Rubin also returned after spending their Junior years abroad. At our Annual Awards Dinner, Cy Far er, ' 58, received the David Dearborn Lapham Award. This permanently endowed scholarship is in memory of Dave Lapham, 1957, who died in an automobile accident two years ago. The Helen Davenport Fessenden Memorial Scholarships were presented to Jim Herlan and Wally Popo- vac, ' 58; the John V. Farwell Scholarships were given to Sam Chauncey and Mike Cavallon, ' 58; the Emerson Tuttle Memorial Award was pre- sented to Carl Brunjes; and the Chauncey Brew- ster Tinker Prize went to Rog Donald, who has since been granted a Clare College Fellowship. Other notable scholars were Phi Betes Don Scherl (Junior year) and Mike Lane, and Scholar of the House in creative writing, Hal Gulliver. Hal, who has received a Rotary International Fellowship, carried on a lonesome, but spirited Ah ' m for Stevenson campaign over at the Netcs last fall. Many more men distinguished themselves in extracurricular activities. Jack-of-all trades Phil Pillsbury served as Chairman of the Yale Chari- ties Drive. John Louden ' s starring role in the Dramat ' s production of The Lady ' s Not for B iyn ng was praised by critics and audience alike. Daniel Merriman, Mjster Dave Riddiford ' s terse resumes of the football games for the Netcs proved invaluable to those of us who sp ent most of the second half running up and down the aisle on account of those annoy- ing hydrolic problems. Multi-scholarship-winner Donald somehow found time to be Managing Editor of those two fearsome volumes of Insur- ance World. Jack Curlett also cut a niche in the Yale business world as Business Manager of the Record. He was joined there by cartoonist Bob Bentley. In the Glee Club, Davenport was repre- sented by seniors Tony Bingham, Frank Conlan, and John Shaw, the latter two doubling as Whif- Cl:l?s of ig ' i  M M- f f ? M ' ' J 5 '  , V - fenpoofs. At Dwight Hall, Morgan Thomas served as Chairman of the Community Council. Occasional poet Don O. D. Miller performed in the dual role of Liquor Commissioner for the Elizabethan Club and Curator of Rare Books for the Haunt Club. In athletics, Don Beer, Captain of the 1957 crew, pulled the number four oar on the victori- ous Yale Olympic Crew. Rolf Sandvoss served as manager of the football team while Cavallon played first string end. Jay Kahle played first de- fense on the hockey team, and was joined b) goalie Mort Shapiro and Manager Chauncey. Other standouts were Bob Nefif in lacrosse, Erick- r son in diving, Tim Brov n in baseball, and Maury Ryan and Curt Chittenden in JV football. During the summer, Davenport ' s library facili- ties were modernized and greatly expanded. The old library was equipped with a new lighting system and Mr. Pottle ' s office was converted into a reserve book room, complete with modern fur- niture. Mr. Pottle, incidentally, moved into the office across the hall from Mr. Brooks in the upper court bungalow. For a few weeks there was some concern about the results of forcing the Old and the New of literary criticism into such close quarters. Everything has gone smoothly, however, since early October when Mr. Brooks was suspected of destroying some of the Boswell manuscripts and Mr. Pottle retaliated by burning the two Confederate flags which had decorated Mr. Brooks ' mantle. The establishment of a student-fellow ' s lunch table in the dining hall helped to solve Daven- port ' s perennial problem of student-fellow rela- tions. The weekly sherry parties of the two-year- old Davenport Cricket Club continued to be in- formal gatherings where Fellows, Seniors, and undcr-classmen mix as perfectly as gin, quinine water, and limes. Mysteriously, three members of the Dec, Pete Smith, Joe Curtis, and Al Kaplan denounced the bliss of undergraduate living and violated amendment four of the DCC charter by moving out of the college. No, this wasn ' t the result of Fellow Bob Metzdorf ' s stomach-searing martinis. It ' s just that wives aren ' t allowed to live in the college. Guy McGinley, sometime resi- dent of the lower court, did these chaps one bet- ter; he commuted all the way from Poughkeepsic. Davenport fielded one of the best football teams in her history last fall and made a serious bid for the South League title. The two high- lights of the season were a come-from -behind 14-12 victory over Saybrook, the eventual league IVy k x H fl H IP i ' wL fe t jJH r mtmm i l ■liA Hl 1 86 cliampions, and a 32-0 massacre of Pierson. The latter triumph brouglit the coveted tortoise shell to Davenport for the first time in five years. Dur- ing the season Co-captain Ron Morris and Popo- vac proved the most effective ball carriers and were supplemented by Chuck Schaller, pass-snag- ging end. Co-captain Tom Fats Rohner, Gus Hollingsworth, Perry Philp, and Steve Hopkins constituted the meat of the line. Strongmen Rohn and Gus kept in shape during the off-season by ripping down doors with their bare hands. The soccer team was led to a h ' ghly successful 5-2-2 season by Connie Fisher, our hard-working ath- letic secretary, and Seniors Jack Lee, Randy Hare, Curtis, Bob Rospond, and Scherl. The hockey team stands a good chance of reasserting Davenport ' s dominance in intercollege hockey after suffering their first defeat in four years last winter. Vet- erans Mike Kenefick, Pillsbury, Bingham, and Entertainment Committee Chairman Chauncey and assistants Chick Goode, Kalile, Pillsbury, Bingiiam, and John Crosby, who has represented us on the Junior and Senior Prom Committees, arranged a record total of four dances during the football season. The fall social activities in Daven- port, as elsewhere, were climaxed by the after- taste of the never-to-be forgotten Princeton game. The late dance was preceded by parties ranging from the lower court whiskey sour and submarine gathering where Little Pauly ' Wentworth ' s Princeton playmates incurred wrath, to the Gold Room where Sir John Spender and John Con- over threw a Tea-Time-in-Australia party, to the York Street entry way where empty bottles were cricket-batted into the moat. And it was at dinner that evening that Steve Weitz made his heroic ride (scooter-fashion) the length of the dining hall and common room on one of Mrs. Jordan ' s Herlan form the nucleus of the team again this year. The basketball team sparked by Coach Gil Gun ' em Merritt, Keith McEligot, and Schaller shows no signs of improving last year ' s mediocre record. Davenport ' s recent achievements in debating have established the college as the rhetorical cen- ter of the University. Last year, for the first time in eight years, we won the Adams Intercollege Debating Cup. Debate captain Lane and Seniors Pete Hill, John Morrell, John Resnik, and Gul- liver figure prominently in Davenport ' s bid to retain the trophy. Three juniors, Ciiarley Allen, Jim Miller, and Tawney Kilbourne are members of the Yale varsity debating team, along with Senior Bob Joost. Bob, a Ten Eyck finalist last year, won the Davenport Oratorical Contest. stainless-steel water wagons. Theodore Sizer, one of Davenport ' s original Fellows, will retire at the conclusion of the aca- demic year. Mr. Sizer, as we all know, has been kind enough to donate his farm for our College Week End Sunday picnics. He has led the Com- mencement Day procession of masters and Sen- iors for many years. Although this scholar, gen- tleman, and life-long friend of Davenport, is retiring, we know that he will continue to take an active interest in the alTairs of the college. Lastly, we say goodbye to our Master, Dan Merriman, who knew every one of our faces and names even before we entered Davenport as Sophomores. To most of us, Mr. Merriman has been not a master, but a friend — a man who has made our college a home rather than a boarding house. 87 JONATHAN EDWARDS b) Peler Michael W ' olj THOUGH the college system has just rounded its twenty-fourth year at Yale (compared to approximately five hundred years at Oxford and Cambridge ) , everyone from the Corporation down to the college councils was worried this year about the probable future of the colleges and the proper direction in which they should be guided. Depending upon one ' s point of view as an undergraduate, college represents anything from a reasonably overcrowded dormitory which (it is rumored) has dining facilities, to a real home-away-from-home where one feels his own I individual identity and finds asylum from an im- personal university world. To most undergrad- uates, however, college implies both .iltcrna- tives, or a little of each, in these early years when the campus might be characterizcii as ten colleges in search of identity. The point of the above harangue, of course, is that Jonathan Edwards has always been a center of serious inquiry into the future and real mean- ing of colleges at Yale. Mr. French, tiie first master of the first college ( Jonathan Edwards ) was profoundly interested in the problem and had a great deal to say about it. Tiiis )-ear was no different. The great occasion of the fail was Founder ' s Day dinner at which Mr. Brown handed over the verge of office to incoming master William H. Dunham. It is significant that at this dinner President Griswold praised the tight unity and inquiring nature that has distin- guished the J.E. Fellows from the earliest days of the college when one remarked . . . it (J.E.) has an indefinable atmosphere that seems midway between that of an Oxford Hall and an American Club. But wine and dinners and Fellows in academic dress put me ahead of my story. New Haven, Jonathan Edwards, Yale . . . the balmy fall of 1956 ... to these things we straggled back after a summer of construction work or newspaper re- porting or traveling or getting to know our parents again. A new master who continues in the J.E. tradition of deep love for the college and continual inquiry into the future of the col- M I!},im H. Diiiilhim. Jr.. Mii.iler lege system wasn ' t the only change that we no- ticed in September. Pat Reynolds had gotten married, and Mrs. Beach, our new secretary, was busy in the office getting familiar with the admin- istrative red tape of Yale; the squash courts were still filthy; only a reasonable amount had been stolen from each room; and there was still a vacuum cleaner somewhere that should be back tomorrow. We noticed that Fred had weathered the summer and soon found that Mrs. Conlan was again ready goodnaturedly to defend the rules three times a day. So we sauntered in. Class of 1957 s- -Tr-iiKryiSisSiT: I .f Ji I J J ll!H« -% • % i;5i -- ' -- '  ' ;4 ' ; 89 bought a few books, picked up our P.R. from an enlarged Co-op that might swallow Whitlock ' s any day, and began reading The Times. The News, or even The RecoiJ just to get in practice again. But before our pilfered trunks were in the basement, dynamo John Hearst was at work chairing the College Council (Senior members: Hearst, Chairman; Munn, Secretary; Davis, Treas- urer; Gillespie; McGowan; Taylor; Guggen- heimer; Wolf; Thompson; Murray) and building, almost single handed, a long-needed snack bar for J.E. After careful attention to details of sani- tation, service bureau requirements, and manage- ment, John made it possible for JEmen to satisfy their gastric groans without tramping to Bran- ford or chancing The United. Other credits go to story of the fall. Yes, wait, hold on a minute, finally, on Tuesday, October 23, we won a game — the first in three years! On that now historic day, after three long, long years of waiting, the sheer power of the Dragon combined with the clever artistry of the Spider to give J.E. a romp- ing 7-0 victory over Davenport. Then the team began to click (or at least make some sort of noise). Captain Don Rife, who scored that touch- down against D ' port, led the attack and was supported by the hard play of Porter, Brooke, and Melchior in the line and Stanton in the tail- back slot. Despite injuries and lack of practice, the team held well all season, finally tallying a 2-2-1 standing. In post-season play, the Spiders fought Harvard ' s Eliot House to a 7-7 deadlock. After the battle scars, broken legs, and pulled the Fellows of the college, w ho were kind enough to make it financially possible to have the little eaterie, and Frank Devney, the first manager, who is largely responsible for the smooth efficiency with which it ran during the year. As the snack bar was being built and opened, the best varsity eleven in years was systematically wiping up the Ivy League, and J.E. athletes (called Spiders because Jonathan Edwards once wrote an essay on spiders) occasionally found time to defend the honor of their college. The touch football squad was the most occasional, fielding a team only for the last game. The hooters had more vigor and played very creditably all season, finishing in the middle of the league after a slow start. Dick Munn, Doug Murray, Dan Harris, Sid Howard, and Jeff Ray were out- standing as tiie core of the Green Dragon ( an- other name for JEmen, not very historical) attack. The football team, though, was the big sports ligaments had healed, the annual fall sports ban- quet was held at which Jim Staley was elected 1958 football captain, Ernie Scheyhing soccer captain, and Mike Foster and Mike Loucks touch football co-captains. The week ends found JEmen defending them- selves on other fields of honor. The Beer Party over Colgate week end initiated a feeling of so- cial amiability among members of the college that was strongly perpetuated a few weeks later at the very successful (if overcrowded) Singing Jamboree. Ralph Lilore somehow learned English and did a splendid job as M.C.; the Whiffs, Duke ' s Men, Baker ' s Dozen, JEsters, O and B ' s, Spizzwinks (?), and Vassar ' s G-Strings were all enjoyed in their first out of the season. Dur- ing the Dartmouth and Princeton melees. Bran- ford and J.E. co-sponsored dances which proved a most successful experiment. When the roar in New Haven died down, we traveled to Cam- 90 bridge, spent a hurried Thanksgiving, and then returned to face colder weatlier, pre-exam work, and the hope of relative rest that diristmas va- cation is supposed to offer. Nor during the fall was there any lack of J.E. representation in activities outside of the college. We had dazzling variety — the usual playboys, a high quota of wheels, two varsity captains, and several top scholars. Virgil Highland, Don Crothers, Richard Coleman, and Mike Melchior were the college representatives who staffed the Phi Bete list; John Hearst had been elected to Tau Beta Pi and Sigma Xi and sat on the class council; Carroll Brewster, Scholar of the House, was off on hunting trips or shouting about Puri- tans or Americans or philosophers or sometiiing in the dining hall. In the extracurricular world Eli harriers; Woody Howe captured the sports desk at the Neifs: Tom Dixon was made Dramat Vice-President; and Tom Ovenshine replaced Bob Lee as the senior representative from Jonathan Edwards to the U.A.C. There was less organized distinction, too; Hermann slept, Laventhol ' s couch went up in flames a month before the junket man was wiped out, and Saint Clark took a year ' s course in trampoline gymnastics. Everyone inside and outside of the college had such a busy fall that the leaves had fallen and the courtyard squirrels had found winter quar- ters before we realized that exams were hard upon us. We had a quick drink at the Christmas party, complained that three hour exams were ridicu- lous if we weren ' t to have a reading period, and headed for home with a tooth brush, a clean Henry von Maur, Business Manager of the Neirs. supposedly worked night and day to keep the O.C.D. solvent. Also staffing the Daily were Randy Guggenheimer as Sports Editor and Pete Wolf, who held a vague sinecure as Publicity Director. Tony Hogan kept busy v ith the Chari- ties Drive and wrestled with the BANNER bud- get, while Phil Clover and Jack Barber held down jobs on WYBC. Martin Pierce objected to every- thing all year except Dvvight Hall; Ken Sharp was occasionally in New Haven when not out singing with the Whiffs; Dick Jackson got lost brilliantly directing a Freshman one-act play and writing the lyrics for the Dramat ' s spring musi- cal. On the world scene Bob Morey (stroke) and Hugh Thompson helped row the Yale eight to an Olympic gold medal at Melbourne, and on the Yale scene several juniors were elected to major posts: John Embersits was chosen varsity football captain; Tim Hogen was elected to lead the 1958 shirt, and a suitcase full of books. Second semester started, exams were over, but nothing had changed very much. Dick Munn, as Chief Aide, was still responsible for the daily shape-up on the J.E. docks, and John Leinen- weber, boss of libraries, was still developing dark sciences by which he ruled an ever-expanding empire. Brewster ' s JEsters began to entertain at P.T.A. meetings again (when not mumbling something about Crazy Corner) and all of the clubs and societies in the college were vitally ac- tive. The Debate Club, prexyed by Pierce, looked forward to capturing the Inter-college Cup, lost last year only in the finals. Squash began to flour- ish again as the shoe thing to do, (it was even rumored that a Racquets Club existed), though the basketball players did all that they could to st) ' mie the movement. And Messieurs Guichar- naud and Barthelemy continued to lead their band of weekly French Club diners who no doubt felt 91 uncomfortable in a J.E. that, if it wasn ' t an Ox- ford Hall or an American Club, certainly hadn ' t the vaguest semblance of a Grand Vefour or a Cafe de la Floire. As the winter sports season progressed, J.E. had creditable A B basketball, handball, swimming, wrestling, boxing, and hockey teams. The squash team, led by veterans Tom Bitting and Cy Elk, was expected to run off with league honors. Everyone wondered why we did not have a pool team, since the table (without a cue ball after November) was continually occupied, ex- cept during JEster practice, of course, during which no one came into the common room. Throughout the year the college was host to several dignitaries, including William Howard Taft, Jr. who, when asked how one got in on the State Department, ( as he had obviously done ) , thought a moment and muttered, ' I just asked Mr. President Eisenhower if I might go to Ireland. But the anecdotes fade, and the clatter of presses down in Bernie Witters print shop re- minded us that spring would come to Jonathan Edwards, that programs that he printed would be used at another College Week End, (if there is anything left of Holiday Hill), at another Ro- man Orgy, at another graduation; the college had come full cycle over the year — the Seniors began to look inquisitively at the world outside, the Juniors looked toward the gold coast and felt the reins of JE tighten in their hands, the Sophomores were scrambling for roommates, wjiile groups of bewildered Freshmen trudged across High Street . . . sauntered through the gate . . . wondering what it would be like in JE next year. 92 ' itteball PIERSON by Art bur ZiDUuernian Gdrdiner. Ji UNDER the devoted and enthusiastic leader- ship of the Reverend Sidney Lovett and the implacable scouting of its mascot, Wellman, Pier- son College has enjoyed another industrious and generally successful year. Because of the weak- nesses inherent in the college system, as instituted at Yale, Pierson is far from becoming an intel- lectually and socially engrossing organization for its members. The centrifugal forces confronting every college in its struggle to become a signifi- cant entity on the Yale scene have been, and surely will remain, a practical deterrent to any 93 visions of this sort. The history of Pierson during the past year can be seen as a continuance of the college ' s attempt to become a worthwhile social and intellectual unit, necessarily confronting the fact that it can not be the sole focus of its mem- bers ' life at Yale. Despite the many recruits it has supplied to extracurricular organizations all over New Haven, the college managed to expand its social program and maintain its successful rec- ord on the athletic field, though it assumed little importance as a center of intellectual activity. Pierson remained a place in which to live rather than study. It was a very pleasant place in which to live. Whether acting as manager-trainer of his do or die athletic teams or as a policeman at beer parties, preaching the gospel of Pierson at meetings of the college or talking with its mem- bers over a bowl of Mrs. Lovett ' s famous clam- chowder, Uncle Sid has given the college his own personality. Pierson is as informal, relaxed, and energetic as its master. He and Mrs. Lovett, by the example they set, are, in a large measure, responsible for the unique degree of unity which Pierson enjoys today. Though friendly and relaxed, the college at- mosphere was far from inactive. The past year was filled with the kaleidoscopic activity charac- terizing Yale, a busyness by no means confined to the student members of the college. Amid the ordinary bustle of the court there have been sev- eral changes in the personnel of the college whicii ought to be noted. Cupid has done his work well within the Georgian walls. Homer Babbidge struggled through a final term of bachelorhood and was married in Washington, D. C. to Marsha A. Ad- kisson of Seattle, Washington, by Mr. Lovett on December 22, 1956. Homer is spending the rest of the year with his pretty wife in his old quar- ters in the 1400 Club. Mi.ss Jeanne B. Hickey, Secretary to the Master, whose efficiency and ex- perience had made her an invaluable cog in the Pierson machine, was also married during the Christmas vacation, but unlike Homer, has left New Haven. Miss Hickey was wed on January 4 in New Haven to John A. Elson, a geology in- structor at McGill University, and returned with him to Montreal. As its new secretary, Pierson was lucky enough to find Mrs. Helen Sandback, who has already succeeded in mastering a difficult |ob. Others have departed from the Pierson scene this year. The college was grieved to learn of the death of Jesse Moran, one of its janitors, who succumbed to a heart atack over Christmas vaca- tion. Andrew Jewell, Pierson ' s campus policeman since 1946, began his well-earned retirement in January. Andy is succeeded by Mr. Raymond V. Begnal. Apart from these major changes in personnel, Pierson ' s affiliates have survived the year intact. Members of the college have distinguished them- selves in all phases of university life. Five of the eight Morse Fellowships, awarded this year to younger members of the Yale faculty for a year 94 of independent research, went to Pierson I ' cllows. Mr. Dudley Bahlman, Mr. Winston Soiber , Mr. Harold Bergcr, Mr. Christophe Clairmont, aiul Mr. Louis Matkey % ill all be pursuing tiieir own studies next year. Undergraduates gained honors as well. Pierson housed five members of Phi Beta Kappa, twci men in Tau Beta Pi, two Scholars of the House. Gerald Jonas and Robert Weinmann, and more than enough athletes to give balance to the group. Four acti e members of the varsity football team, seven Yale soccer players, and equally important, additions to the squash, hockey, wrestling, and polo teams, were all recruited from Pierson ranks. The college ' s most exciting contribution to thc Yale athletic scene were the four members of the Yale crew representing the United States at the Olympics. Graduates Tom Charleton, the captain, and Roger Bullard, the manager, spent two extra months of residence in Pierson while preparing for Melbourne and were accompanied down under by Juniors Rusty Wailes and Bill Beck- lean. Athletes and scholars, both met as members of Pierson and were joined by a third Yale prod- uct, the campus leader. All types of organizations, singing groups, publications, fraternities, church activities and the rest were well supplied with Uncle Sid ' s charges. But despite the active par- ticipation of the large majority in extracurricular activities outside the red brick walls, tiie college managed to enjoy another successful year as a 7 . Rci. SiJ ' it I Lnittt. M.iUcr self-contained unit on the Yale scene. Pierson ' s College Aide staff and Advisory Council are largely responsible for this success. The College Aides led by Ted Vlamis, were a well organized and hard working group. Ted took on the responsibilities of Athletic Secretary with Roger Dalton, besides running the aide staff, and the duo managed to keep the athletic cohorts in reasonable order. So far Pierson has forfeited only one contest this year, a squash matc h on the day following exams which was undoubtedly poorly printed on the intercollege athletic schedule. The CKiss of 1957 W: ' W f t I f ? f M f f -1-8 j! , -f f-f tj  f If p n f fl workshop was used often under the direction of John Brooke and executive Vice-President Rusty Wailes. Dave Clarke blackened his hands with the Pierson press and Jim Healey continued his efficient control of the library. The Advisory Council, headed by Towny Lud- ington and his successor, Roger Gambatese, in- stituted a bigger and better social program. The eight-dollar social ticket, allowing admission to the eight college social events over the course of the year, was sold to over three quarters of the college and the events themselves have so far proved successful. The late dances on the Cornell and Princeton football week ends and the supper dance following the Dartmouth game were all crowded and gave convincing proof that the col- lege could and would solve the problem created by the limitation on the number of guests allowed in the fraternities. The increase in the number of dances over last year seems only the first step in a trend; definite plans have been made for con- necting a speaker to the college ' s newly acquired hi-fi phonograph which could be placed in either the common room or dining room to give dance music to couples on off week ends. The Pierson Chorale Society, formed in the fall with Fred Williams as its president and Jo- hannes Somary as its director, has become another outlet for extracurricular enjoyment within the college itself. The Chorale Society gave a Christ- mas concert and is to stage Doun in the Valle) by Kurt Weill this spring as part of the College Week End festivities. The ledger of progress is not so encouraging regarding the development of fellow-student re- lations in the college. It has become painfully obvious in the past few years that the colleges are facing many difficulties on this score not only be- cause of a certain amount of apathy on the part of the students, but because the colleges have only a small role to play in the academic aspects of a student ' s life. Attempts were made in Pierson, as elsewhere, to encourage contact between students and faculty not only through propaganda from the Master ' s office but by encouraging cocktail parties with mixed company, even to the extent of supplying free sherry. Several of these were held, but the program could not be called highly successful. Nor could the college lecture series, which, depsite the caliber of its speakers, was all too abbreviated. Pierson was fortunate enough to enjoy the company of evangelist Billy Graham who spent his five days at Yale with Uncle Sid and met many members of the college at a coffee hour given for him by the Lovetts. Two Hoyt Lecturers will be heard during the second term who, with Associate Fellow Robert Frost, com- plete a disturbingly short list of visitors. With Uncle Sid and Wellman providing much of the inspiration, Pierson seems on the road to the Tyng Cup for the third straight year. Last year the college established a rather awesome record piling up an unequalled 785 points in the race for athletic supremacy, winning eight of fifteen championships and enjoying a two hun- dred plus margin over second place Calhoun. Though the race has been in no respect similar to that walkaway so far this year, Pierson is lead- ing the other colleges by about 30 points in the Tyng totals as this article goes to press. The most successful team this fall v as the touch football aggregation which picked up a flawless record of 9-0. Led by Captain Ade Gra- ham and the golden arm of jumping George 96 Vojta, who tlirev ' over thirt) ' touchdown passes, the Slaves swept by all opponents with little ditifi- culty. Alon with Vojta and Graham, Bob Stra- han, Jim Robertson and Rog Gambatese com- pleted the first string and received a great deal of help from substitutes John Miller. Dave Chris- tenson, John Shepphird, Ron Baird, Dave Wink- worth and Jay Morsman. In tackle football, the Slaves did not fare so well. Having won its first two games against traditional foes Calhoun and Branford, Pierson tied J.E. in a scoreless deadlock and then lost to Saybrook and Davenport. Its record of two wins, two losses, and a tie placed the team in a tie viith J.E. for third place in the South League. The team was hurt considerably by the loss of hard- running Roger Dalton in the encounter with Calhoun and Jan Duncan, a highly-touted Sopho- more lineman, in a preseason practice. Without Dalton, the team lacked its scoring punch and only succeeded in tallying eight points throughout the year. Outstanding for the Slaves all season were guards Paul Fletcher and Anton DePaul. Bill Van Antwerp as line-backer, and Captain- elect John Stafford at end. Centered around this nucleus, the team ought to do well next year, as only two starters were lost through graduation. Terry Simmons and Captain Art Gardiner. Coaches Skip Carse and Homer Babbidge had a full year in which to develop next year ' s talent. Pierson ' s soccer team, captained by Bob Pegg, was more successful than the football squad, end- ing the season in fourth place. High scorer Carl Lindskog, with five goals to his credit, led the attack from his center forward slot, supported by Spike Bragg. Art Diedrick, Pete Nisselson, Ralph Wrobley, and Pegg in the forward wall; halfbacks George Piroumoff, Dave Christenson, Gary Hel- ler, Charlie Kingsley, and John Clark; fullbacks Ed Cunningham, Bill Hall, and Pete Hufstader; and Joe Barnett in the goal were other men on the squad which started the fall by winning its first two games over Saybrook and J.E. The team then tied both Branford and Timothy Dvvight before losing the services of Captain-elect Carl Lindskog and the next two games. Lindskog re- turned in time for the last three games which were won decisively over Calhoun, Trumbull, and Davenport. The end of the fall found Pierson in fifth place in the Tyng Cup ratings but the deficit was soon overcome. The hockey team, deep in both num- bers and talent, is undefeated to date and has recently been bolstered by Charles Berry, Instruc- tor in Economics, a sophisticated defenseman w ith a powerful hip. Captain Kim Cheney, leading the first line, is higii scorer so far, though he has plenty of competition for these laurels. With rookie goalie Pete Hufstader in the twines, whose inexperience is equalled only by his success so far, the team promises to continue its winning ways. This also seems to be a safe prediction for Pierson ' s handball team captained by Denny Mc- Gill and the squash squad directed by Charlie Frey. The A basketball squad is having a tough season without all six feet, five inches of its cap- tain, Dick Burhoe hut the B squad, which re- mains undefeated, is more than balancing the shaky start of the first team. Though it is far too early to predict a winner, there is no question that Pierson will be one of the leading contenders for the Tyng Cup again this year. So Pierson carries on. It is an active and spir- ited college, conscious of both its weaknesses and its strengths in fulfilling the role assigned it in the Yale community. That it is by no means the sole focus of its members ' various activities is due to the nature of a college ' s functions on the Yale scene. Confronting problems common to its nine counterparts, it has been relatively successful in solving them. And so it is with pleasure that we will look back on having lived in the college system, with or without IBM. 97 SAYBROOK by HdioLI Loiin Divi el SOME tv enty-five years ago a group of men here at Yale began to contemplate the in- troduction of the college system as an integral part of undergraduate life. Robert D. French, first master of a residential college at Yale, sug- gested that the purpose of the college system was to combine the advantages of Yale ' s large uni- versity facilities, i.e. distinguished scholarship and a great collection of books, with those of small community living. It was hoped that within each college there would be developed some unity of purpose and feeling among the stu- 98 dents. TliLis, it.il and lasting t ' ricnilsliips would c i)l e iKit oi congenial living conditions stimu- lated h)- intellectual and spiritual adventure. As we look around us today, our purpose is not to determine whether Saybrook is a shoe, ' wheel, or elite, college, but to attempt to discern to w hat extent we have fulfilled those original ideals and to what extent we have failed. One of the activities within the Brook which contributes significantly to a ' unity of purpose and feeling is the intercollege athletic system. Fortunately, victory is not a prerequisite for either fun or fellowship. Led by the excellent passing and running of quarterback Heinz Molsen, and complemented by the running and pass-catching of halfbacks Bill Carter and Captain Hal Daniel, the Seals copped their first Intercollege Football Championship in ten years. Despite the abilities of this Senior backfield, the strength of the team lay in an exceptionally staunch Sophomore and Junior line guided by Seniors Tom Crumpacker, Mike Jordan, Tom Quirk, and Paul Rosenstein. However, Saybrook did not fare so well in its other sports. A good soccer team behind Captain Charlie Carpenter could never quite find that scoring punch, and ended up in the bottom divi- sion. Our touch football squad, starring Luke Finlay, Bill Adams, and Walt Benenson, suffered from a lack of manpower and met a similar fate. Although not a part of the intercollege system, one other group deserves notation — the Saybrook Court boys. The Willie Mays stickballers of ' 55 and ' 56 fame were replaced this fall by those , , ,. ) , . ILinijfl.K- M.lMtr gay passball gladiators Brooke, Machold, Roth, and several Juniors. A definite minority, this group managed to stomp out the thin blades of greenery so carefully nursed by the College Coun- cil. Regardless of team victories or defeats, the friendships formed on these teams are a very warm and real part of Saybrugian life. Saybrook may claim a few capable sons for varsity athletics. Ail-American Mike Cooke was a standout on the soccer team. Captain Colin Gracey and Ray Lamontagne were the backbone of the baseball squad. Captain Kibbe Fitzpatrick ri„ss nf U)S- Vk ' M H BB 1 r rm ' M Wj E ' ' - ' . ' - pf ' -, - , v Ef hvB igj -M j bl arr. .mM mM ' , . . . i i i lJ 1 lid iiliiS l29 s Bi Bl l my !s, I ' H m K Rfr .

Such names as Winterbauer, Henkel, Penclexter, and Hardin are destined to be applauded again next year, though without the inspiring antics of cheer- leader Tung Jeong. Perhaps the ideals associated with small com- munity living are most easily discovered in the social life of a college. Three well-attended and successful dances under the supervision of the College Council were the highlights of the foot- ball week ends. Several singing groups including our own Duke ' s Men under the direction of Jeft Freeman, and the Wiiilfenpoofs, starring Todd Tear It Down, Kendrick provided intermission entertainment. On a less formal basis, hardly a meal went by without some aspiring pianist be- ing heard beating out a few bars of Bach or Blues. Glee Club-ers Kendrick (Historian), Contc, Freeman, Rossen ( Business Manager ) . and Voiz blended midnight yodels and evening harmonies with the ever present blasts of trucks and busses to provide the Brook with a musical climate distinctly her own. The Saybrook Players, F.lm Street annex to the Dramat, started another promising season by presenting An Ereiiing W th Noel Cotrard just before Christmas vacation. Directed and produced by Bill Bogert and George White, who were ably assisted by such talents as Rex Robbins ( familiar to Dramat enthusiasts ) , Brian Walsh, Bruce Agnew, Bob Keaton, Tom Quirk, and those re- markable Englishmen Bill Emmerich and Mike Henchman, the short one-act plays were a howl- ing success. Ligiiting by Dean Robley. The will- ing cooperation of Mr. Henning, Mr. Logan, Rena Wilmot, Miss Taylor, and the College Council in making the evenings possible, was exemplary of their usual excellent spirit of devo- tion to the interest of the Brook. When considering social life in Saybrook, sev- eral other factors immediately come to mind. These are The Duke and of course Tiie Duchess, our Fellows, the College Council, and private parties by White, Boasberg, etcetera, etce- tera! The solemn, ivy-covered walls of Saybrook do not in the least dim the Southern hospitality embodied in the Hennings and their punch. Many spirited parties in the Master ' s House have been enjoyed throughout the year by students and Fellows alike. At the heart of Saybrugian social life along with the Hennings, we find Messrs. Robley, Logan, Roohan, and Wildt. One can hardly think of an activity in Saybrook in which one or all of these Fellows do not partici- pate. The warm and congenial manner of Mr. Logan and Dean Robley combined with their omnipresent helping hand make them especially popular among Saybrugians. Finally, our non- resident Fellows, e.g. Mr. Martz, Mr. Arrom, and Mr. Brombert, are instrumental to the continuing success of the Fellows ' tables. Missing from this group is the former acting Master, Mr. Dun- ham (and his charming and gracious wife), now busy settling the affairs of oLir neighbor, Jona- than Edwards. The College Council headed by seniors Charles Carpenter (Chairman), Colin Gracey, Todd Kendrick, Bill Mobley, and Bob Pelton quietly and efficiently carried out its varied duties. These duties include managing social events, advising Mr. Henning, sounding student opinion and, in general, trying to integrate life in Saybrook into 100 a more valuable experience for each undcr rad uate. Tiie extent to which Saybrugians develop a unity of purpose and feeling is a measure oi the success of this group ' s actions. Mr. Henning ' s answer to the IBM is his Sec- retary, Rena Wilmot. Rena unites skill, efficiency, an d know-how with charm and vitality to produce a most effective administrative unit. I ' n der her thumb one can usually find those busy office boys, the college aides. These junior moguls. Chief -Aide Bill Moblcy, Librarians Bob Pelton and Colin Gracey, Hobby Shop Curator Dick Oliver, and Athletic Secretary Harold Daniel at- tempt to carry out their duties within the college assisted by Junior and Sophomore aides. These jobs offer, along with economic remuneration, the chance to serve Saybrook and develop one ' s ow n executive and organizational capacities. The realm of intellectual development should not be overlooked in reviewing Saybrugian life. If alert, one might corner one of Saybrook s four Scholars of the House, Christian Sonne, Mark Reed, Mike Cooke (Class Poet), and John Fran- cis, for a dinner discussion on almost any subject. If Mike looks healthier than the rest it is prob- ably due to the fact that he is exposed to plenty of fresh air while commuting from New York City. In the realm of technical genius so essen- tial in our atomic age of automation, we enjoy the services of two of the ranking scholars in the School of Engineering, Bruce Belason and Mike Jordan. A European air is introduced in the per- sonages of Clare Scholars, Bill Emmerich and Mike Henchman, complemented by our German exchange student Stefan Wild. Also, Saybrook seems to be a refuge for intensive majors. Phi Beta Kappa ' s, and Tau Beta Pi ' s. In order to dis- seminate the results of this accumulation of brainpower, we have that notable little paper the Seal. Editor Steve Wanger states this purpose more poetically: From the cries of anguish at the prospects of co-education and the reality of locked gates, to the mild protests at the color schemes of the roompainters, the events of the year were chronicled for t he Saybrug ' an by his own ingenerate journal, the Seal. Hardly rival- ing the London Times in intellectual pomposity articles by Wanger, Coleman, Bob Barton, and a host of Sophomores and Juniors, nevertheless combine with the cartoons by Dave McLaughlin to keep us well-informed on matters of impor- tance to the ' Brook. In the fall, political interest was rampant in Saybrook, which may be consid- ered the kitchen cabinet of University under- graduate politicians. Peter Morse, Ronald Cole- man, and Alex Onderdonk were President, Vice- President, and Secretary respectively of the Poli- tical Union in 1956. Steve Wanger (Liberal Party Chairman ) and Coleman ( President of the Young Democrats ) battled Morse and Onderdonk of the Republican Party. Although there is no record of any dueling fatalities, there were a considerable number of democratic casualties as Ike swept the ' Brook. Many of these political offices, as well as arguments, have been passed on to younger Saybrugians doubtless due to the spoils system. If Scholars of the House, numer- ous Phi Betes, intensive majors, and budding politicians are indicative of intellectual develop- ment, Saybrook may be considered well on the way to fulfilling this aspect of her life. Once again our Fellows should be cited for their work in creating interesting discussions and the desire for individual exploration in these and other fields. One group which should be noted as an active element in University Hfe is Alpha Phi Omega. Alex Onderdonk, Jon Scott, George Reisner, and Tom Price, ' 58, have all served as officers of this service organization. Present throughout the Saybrugian ' s life is a feeling of change. The cellar dungeons as well as our rooms have received a fresh coat of color. New carpets have enhanced the appearance of our library and common rooms. The library has been expanded and lighted. Season social tickets have been introduced along with a highly successful morning coffee hour. A low guttural huh! has been added to Mike (the guard ' s) friendly Nice day. Cammie has traded his three wheeler in on a new ' 57 model bicycle. New and inter- Re ' .urn ng briefly to the ideals of Mr. French, one does find in Saybrook a community of young men bound together by the common purpose of developing their powers in mutual association and moving forward under the stimulation ot minds that are better trained than their own. The spirit of religious and social adventure is another element of undergraduate life which is not lacking in Saybrook. Saybrook contributes five sons to service on the Undergraduate Board of Deacons of Battell Chapel including Jay Contc (Chairman), Bart Gage (Secretary), HaroUi Daniel, Colin Gracey, and Chris Sonne. These and many other Saybrugians are also active in various denominational and service groups throughout New Haven. Ra) ' Lamontagne has become a noted educator from his program for the Hungarian refugees. Jon Scott and Pete Capra. among others, have been active in social service in boys ' clubs and hospitals in this community. esting faces appear each year to replace those departing friends, the Seniors, Attempting to evaluate these multifarious ac- tivities and concerns which make up Saybrugian life, we may conclude that a certain degree of unity of purpose and feeling is present within our class. Every Saybrugian makes some contribu- tion to the common life of the ' Brook. An article such as this suggests the perimeter of college life while the inner core of life in the ' Brook must remain sealed in the hearts of those of us who have experienced growing friendships and broad- ening interests here. 102 i SILLIMAN by Craig Richard Boners riLLIMAN COLLEGE will long remember vj 1956-1957 as the year of organization, con- solidation, and nationalization. The spirit of or- ganization was fired by the College Aides headed by Joe Clayton. Athletic Aide John Somerville wasted little time in setting up powerful rosters of Mander sportsmen. Co-captains Ken Gergen and Bill Thieme led our North League football champions through their paces with outstanding performances also being contributed by Bill Felix and John Whipple. Bill Barhite led the touch football team to a successful 5-3 season. Jerry M. , ' it Hfl B. ' ' ' tJ m :.jM w Vul ' m Farnum captained the Mander soccer team to a seven and two record which brouglit them second place in the standings. He was assisted by Paul Home and Somerville. With this excellent show- ing Silliman was able to grab the top spot in all around championship points for the fall schedule. While the athletic teams rolled on, the Student Council organized the social side of Mander activities. Bill Thieme headed the Council with George Thompson (of basketball fame) as Sec- retary and Joe Vittoria as Treasurer. Rick Kirgis, Dean Secord, Jim LeMahieu, Dave Bibb, Erik Esselstyn and Mike Mitchell joined them in coun- cil activities. Several dances were held during the fall and they met with a great deal of success. Also on the social side of life in Silliman was the formation of the Late Show Club. This organization came into being early in the year and has endured many a miserable movie since. The highlight of the viewing came in the second week of February when members watched one of the clubs charter members Jim ( Brass ) Fran- ciscus, as he played a featured role on Studio One. One interested viewer was Sam Graybill who grimaced as he watched since the story dealt with the activities of a college dean. While the TV set attracted many Manders, the bridge tables were busy too. Buz Aronson, Dave Skolnick, and Mike Kohn played nightly trying to figure out which one was the dummy. Mean- while, Denny Hansen, Ed Cook, Joe Clayton, Jerry Neary, and Ian Henderson held grudge matches whenever they found a free moment. Bridge was not the only card game popular dur- ing the year. The set-back rage hit just after ( hristmas vacation and continued throughout the remainder of the year. Other colleges were hit by flu bugs and viruses, but Silliman was hit by the most fatal bug of all, the Love Bug. Jim Richardson led the parade down the aisle. He was followed by Bud Preston, Dick Brown, Rick Kirgis, Norwood Hill, John Skillman, and John North. There might be more making the trip before the year ends as this could turn into an all out epidemic. Manders spent a great deal of time in activities outside of the college too. Leading those taking part in extracurricular activities was Bud Trillin, the Chairman of the News. Other Newsies resid- ing in Manderland were major moguls Morris Raker and John (Insurance W orld) Neumark. The minor moguls were G. Morgan Browne, Harry (The Horse) Valentine, Nick Tingley, Brayton Wilbur, and Buz Aronson. WYBC also contributed its share to life in Silliman. Pat Baker served as WYBCs Business Manager, Rick Kirgis as Vice-Chairman, and Ken Gergen as Secretary. Nort (El Pozzo) Wright, Craig Bowers, Al ( WYBC-A ) Smallens, Zack Sacks, Jerry Farnum, and Bill Everett were also seen beating the well- worn path to Hendrie Hall. Singing was another big activity among the ! 1— 1 jp; 104 members of Silliman. In fact, we li.ul one entry with more Whiffenpoofs in it than any other entry in the University. John Somervilie, Joe Clayton, and Jerry Neary all filed out of Hntry N on Mondays and headed to the Tables Down at Mory ' s. Buzz Mackenroth was seen workint; out the southern trip for the Augmented Seven. Dick Brown and Doug Almond spent many a night discussing the Bachelors. When looking at long playing records, we must remember Campaign ' 56. This was the brain child of Doug Daniels. He was aided in the production of this record by Silliman Fellow Howard Lamar. When the second semester got underway, a new Student Council was elected with only three of the old members able to retain their positions. Joe Vittoria moved from Treasurer to President and Jim LeMahieu and Mike Mitchell moved into the other two executive positions. The new council members were Ed Cook, Bill MacLaugh- lin, Phil Ritterbush, Tim Jecko, Jerry Donovan, and Art Hotchkiss. Silliman also had its share of athletes. Ken Jones and Ted Loud made creditable showings for Coach Jordan Olivar; George Thompson starred in the back court for Joe Vancisin; Cap- tain Bill Clinton, Tim Jecko, Jerry Dolbey, Denny Hansen, Roger Anderson, Dave Lockton, and Charley Bronston were among Bob Kiphuth ' s record breakers; Bill Barhite climbed the squash ladder to the number three spot; Lars KuUeseid and Paul Ogden starred on the soccer team man- aged by Pete Farrand; Bob Karle skated well for Liilher Nosi, Muster Coach Murray Murdoch; Sam Sehoonmaker and John Somervilie were among Yale ' s top tennis players; and last, but certainly not least, John Cooke returned from Australia with an Olympic gold medal which went to Yale ' s great crew. Back within the college, Denny Bates, Jim Seymour, and Buz Aronson led the Mander de- baters to one of their finest seasons on record. Linden Blue was chosen to represent us on the Junior Prom Committee and was subsequently selected to head that committee. Gus Kellogg was picked by the Seniors to be their representative on the Senior Prom Committee. Class of 1957 105 I Tony Fisher ' s library was filled during all of its open hours in the exam period. In fact, the library was used quite a bit more than before this year when a great number of books from the Reserve Book Room of the Sterling Library were sent to the college library. Silliman ' s dining hall continued to serve the best food on the campus. Miss Van Cleve and Jane Ashton outdid themselves in preparing the Christmas dinner. As usual, it took Ceil about one week to learn to jilace the face with the iOO odd numbers on her check sheet. Just as the v inter sports schedule started Mr. and Mrs. Noss threw a party for the victorious fall teams. This party seemed to spark the Man- der winter sports teams because they continued where their predecessors left off. Led by Captain Lars Kulleseid and featuring fine ball playing by Erickson, Vittoria, Buddy Watt and John Titus, the A basketball team was right at the top of the heap. The B club was up there too. The Mander hockey team was not as successful, al- though fine performances were continually turned in by Captain John Boland, Buzz Dimond, Bill Owens, and Pete Davis. Our swimming team w as surprisingly successful since the majority of Man- der swimmers were on the varsity. And the squash team was really tough to beat. Looking forward to the spring sports schedule we expect big things from the crew led by Cap- tain Dave (Nails the Red Beard) Hyatt, and his fellow oarsmen Steve Flagg and Frank Brown. The baseball team should be very strong sparked by Bert Bradford, Baker, and Ted Herbert. Of course we must not forget the fact that cheering always helps an athletic team and Silli- man had two of Yale ' s best cheerleaders in Frank Galloney and Al Lieberman, who doubled as the leash man for Handsome Dan, IX. Silliman was well represented in various com- mittees and organizations around the campus. Wally Ritchie did an excellent job on the 1957 Class Council. Dick Lamb carried our problems to the UAC. Stan Sulzer worked hard on the National Student Association. Dick Arnold and Steve Flagg contributed their time and talent to the Yale Christian Mission which featured the stirring lectures of Billy Graham. 106 Phil Lottinvillc continued his work on a new scientific magazine. Courty Bryan was elected as the new chairman of the Record. Dick ArnoUl was one of the top debaters seen at Political Union meetings. Steve Mandel worked hard toi the Dramat, while Lou Pryor racked his brain to select a play to be put on by the Silliman Dramal over College Week End. And if you happened to pass our college early on a Monday morning you would probably see Sandy Speer and Nort) Wright returning from an all night jam session in New York, The relations between Silliman and our neigh- bor college T.D. were strengthened by a dance for the two colleges held on Penn week end. It looked as if this relationship would end when the first big snow hit the fair city of New Haven because of a vigorous snowball fight which broke out between us. The real losers were the passersby and a group of Freshmen who were beaten back by the combined forces of the Manders and the Prexies. The Tang Cup, the symbol of drinking superiority will be regained by Silliman this Col- lege Week End without a question of a doubt. The latest word has it that several Manders have been in training for the big event since September ( names withheld upon request ) . Reports have it that the Silliman Snack Bar was nationalized this year with Dave Dustin put in as the puppet head of the organization. Prices hit an all time high, but business was better than ever as the TV set is located in the same room and the Late Show Club was composed of the biggest eaters in Mander history. For the third time in as many years the Silli- man newspaper changed names and personnel. The newest endeavor was called The SilliiiianJei . and was headed by Joe (the Shadow) Campana, who seemed to think that the fans here are not friendly enough. One of the biggest moves of the year took place in the dining hall where a new system of hand- ing out silverware was introduced. This was an interesting system since most of us enjoy eating off forks that had been handled by every other person ahead of us in the line. And as the green grass peeks its head out be- tween the student-laden sidewalks ( Manders are not allowed on the grass), we look forward to the big activities of the spring. The Student Coun- cil has planned a Keg Dance for April and, of course. College Week End will be the biggest and best of the year. 107 ] TIMOTHY DWIGHT b) Riilph Kivl W ' juler. jr. LIFTING liis stone for his annual squint at the river of life, the TD Senior finds him- self rudely thrust into the torrent from which he has taken refuge for four complacent years. A patient Yale informs him with regret that the time has come to put aside the softest touch he ever had. TD, the closest of all Yale ' s colleges to New Haven ' s pleasure centers, its most re- spected churches, and its Police Station, is a worthy source for memories embellished by the far harder times to come. When we first passed beneath the arch, TD 108 athletics consisted of a bitter competition with JE for last place in tiie race for the Tyn Cup. The football team was alwa)s better than its record indicated, meaning, of course, that with a few breaks the team might lia c won a game. However, in our Senior year, tiie men of tiic gridiron tied Silliman for the championship o( the North League but lost in the playoff to a oiil overwhelming future teams with responsibility. John Halpern, Scotty NichoUs, and Pete Bousca- ren played consistent ball in the backfield, while George Mascarich, Chris Foote, and Brian Kelly provided much of the brawn, and occasionally the blood, in the line. In soccer, captain Bob Crafts led such intercoUege stalwarts as John Tyson, Frank Muggia, and Ned Morris to several victo- ries and a host of ties. Nor was the spirit of TD confined to the atli- letic field. On Princeton week end, the courtyard sprouted a multitude of banners and signs de- signed to inspire Lorch, Phelan, and Baird to feats of destruction on the coming Saturday. In- deed, one of these colorful pennants found its way into the Bowl to be torn to shreds by a group of grudgeful Princeton cheerleaders who managed to overpower Hank Harris and Norm Waite. With the aid of Jerry Jones, Millard Prisant, Newb LeRoy (may his drill instructor let him rest in peace), and a hopeful recruiting ser- geant of the United States Air Force, the towers of TD sported two weather balloons painted with appropriate prognostications of the week end to come, while two campus cops endeavored to find ways to get a few hearty souls back down from the towers. In the not quite omnipotent Mott WooUey Council, thrifty Stan McCarthy cautioned his more extravagant colleagues, such as Dick Lewis, against expenditures which might cost money. Karl Chester lobbied strenuously for music in the dining hall but found the project killed when Chairman Winter discovered that his radio was to be the source. Bill Keen, Commander of the TD post of the Veterans of Foreign Wars, entered into less controversial matters w hen he demanded 109 that the council investigate student complaints about the food served in the dining hall. How- ever, the council discovered to its dismay that some things are beyond improvement by human hand. In a more serious vein, the council helped to extend its influence beyond its original pur- pose as a group merely to determine the ways in which the Woolley fund should be spent. By its steady efforts to improve the college dances and its decision to resume publication of the Weather- vane, the council endeavored to act more posi- tively for the benefit of the college. Perhaps the spirit of TD was best shown in the frustrating attempts to construct an ice rink in the courtyard. Conditioned Eskimos, such as Bill Hawthorne, Charlie Guidotti, and Pat Wilde, sprayed water through the hours of the night so that TD might enjoy ice for a glorious three days. New Haven ' s weather ( we all learned what that ' s like) prevented further enjoyment, and the TD rink soon became known as Lake Selicoff, named after the infamous entrepreneur who sold fishing licenses to unsuspecting Sophomores. The wrath of TD was vividly displayed in the fate attending a group of Freshmen who at- tempted to invade the Fatherland on a snowy Sunday afternoon. The marauders were dispersed by a hastily conscripted army of Freedom Fight- ers which not only chased the invaders from the Homeland but also continued their march on to the courtyard of the traditional enemy across Temple Street. The only casualties suffered by TD lay in the loss of several windows in entry L. It was later discovered that these were self in- flicted. For their valiant efforts in this celebrated fray Bill Dreyer and Mike Gaskin were given the David A. Johnson Memorial Award for deeds of valor far above and beyond the call of college spirit. TD was not without its heroes in winter sports. Mike O ' Hearn led the Zoo to a host of hockey victories, as Beanie Case, Joe Ritchie, and Frank Nicring starred for the Prexies. In swim- ming, the college was represented by a sterling group of mermen who continued to dominate the league. The team featured such celebrities as Pat Wilde, a bearded import from Alaska, and Denis McWhan, prominent for his part in the bathing suit lobby in the Council. Syd Ball and Ned Mor- ris were consistent winners for the squash team. The A basketball team did not quite live up to preseason expectations ( captains name with- held upon request), in spite of the efforts of such veteran hoopsters as Bob Beaney and Lew Froman. Highest honors, however, went to the TD debating team, which, whipped into shape by the rigorous training regulations imposed by captain Frank Michelman, was able to put all opponents to sleep within ten minutes through the forensic efforts of Paul Chevigny, Joel Sharp, and Malcolm Mitchell. In all league standings, however, the top spot was filled by TD ' s answer to Frank Merriwell, E. A. Wendt. Many members of the college, undoubtedly enticed by under the table offers from varsity coaches, chose not to play TD sports. Athletic secretaries must be constantly vigilant to prevent such unscrupulous draining of talent from the college. Bill Ryland played varsity football while Dave Armstrong, Joe Robinson, Terry Carlisle, and Bill Fleming went the way of Kiphuth. Dick Hall managed the basketball team, and Phil Hep- ner captained the wrestlers, Steve Jackson among them. Bob Kirschner, Jeff Loucks, John Halpern, and Karl Van Horn starred for the track team wiiilc Run Ra en played varsity scju.isli. In ntlicr university activities, TD was well represented h members of ' 57. Ike Sclicofif was elected to the UAC. Pete Fine was our representative on the Class Council while Dick Hall v as fast becoming TD ' s leading socialite through his work on the Junior and Senior Prom Committees. The Aides Staff, ably led by Pete Fine, func- tioned in its usually smooth manner. Dave John- son, by reorganizing the library, was able to bring to the attention of the college the rather startling fact that books could be found there. There ' s no telling where a thing like this can lead. George Mascarich, in the post of Staff Secretary, sur- prised everyone by keeping the Aides ' Office in reasonably neat condition. The Aides were pri- marily responsible for the decorations surround- ing the college during the Christmas season and acquired the pride of the Christmas party, a genuine boar ' s head, which, if grim, nevertheless added a bit of tradition to the festivities. All hailed the Palace Guard in their attempts to re- store the Christmas tree to an upright position. Ted Palen, who chaired the Social Activities Committee, was continually forced to provide more and more entertainment for such pleasure- mad playboys as Mike Sweedler, Bill Mashburn, and K. K. Ro. It has been reported that Emil Buhler, renowned beachcomber, was especially impressed by the Shipwreck Dance on College Week End. Although Mike Roche was occasion- all) ' moved to comment upon the t[uality of the punch. Chairman Palen assured him that its taste would be hardly noticeable after an hour or so. TD ' s greatest triumph, however, came in its recovery of the Tang Cup, the most coveted prize on the campus. Observers regarded the TD team as the best in the long and honorable history of beer drinking, and their prijgnostications were borne out on the Saturday morning of College Week End as the Prexie squad, in training for the match since July, showed their superiority in what is fast becoming a lost art. George Masca- rich and Reid White, long known as fast men where beer is concerned, became college heroes, while Dan Muhonen ' s last second chug produced a victory which returned the cup to its rightful owners. College Week End was again the occa- sion for a presentation by the TD Dramat, which performed its usual superior job. The production, Gilbert and Sullivan ' s H.Al.S. P mtfoye, filled the dining hall and inspired suggestions that the Payne Whitney Gym be donated to TD as a theatre. An alternative suggestion was that a cer- tain philanthropist, rumored to have broken the bank at Armor ' s Casino ( occasionally known as the Snack Bar), might contribute the funds nec- essary to move Madison Square Garden to the courtyard. Yet, not all college activities in the spring centered around such festivities. Bill Keen, fight- ing partisan of the free press, continued his ex- i. poses in tlie tabloid ' Ion n Ci er wliilc Dick Sar- gent and Ed King led the Prexies to many victories on the hnks after leaving scores of holes in the courtyard grass. Bill Dreyer and Mike O ' Hearn helped out the baseball team in between Mike Roche ' s home runs. John Mackiewicz, equipped with official megaphone, spent many hours calling for members of the TD crew, the cream of the college ' s brawn. The most popular sport of all, however, was one called frisbie, flying saucer, and sundry other names. It was normally conducted on the lawn in front of the Master ' s House, and as the rules became more and more complex, experts, such as Beanie Case and Cheeb Everitt, began to dominate. Everyone . . . well, almost everyone, partici- pated in the year-round activity of studying. Some did more, others less. Many wished they had done more. Some, like Frank Michclman and Harold Malmgren, became Scholars of the House and were able to conduct their studies in a truly ma- ture manner. None, however, totally escaped this part of Yale, and those who avoided it the most fail to regret it only because they don ' t realize what they were avoiding. In three years in TD, the members of 1957 have lived under two masters. Dean Carroll held the post for the spring term of our Junior year while Mr. Bergin was studying in Italy. To a great extent we were all strangers to him, yet the cordial manner in which we were treated made us feel as if we had known him all our lives. We enjoyed his parties, smoked his cigars, and cheered as he played in the top position on TD ' s squash team. During the otiier two and a half years of our tenure in the college, we lived under a man whose concepts of the functions and responsibili- ties of a master seem almost ideal. Mr. Bergin, with a characteristic disregard for trivia yet a conscientious concern for essentials, let us exploit the opportunities of the college as we saw fit, imposing restrictions only when necessary. The TD grass was profaned times without number as he looked tolerantly away. The expanding functions of the Council were to a great extent the result of his desire to inquire into the opin- ions of the students themselves. His humor and general good nature, in addition to Mrs. Bergin ' s fisiihouse punch, made the gatherings in the Master ' s House thoroughly enjoyable and helped us to appreciate his presence even more. Although this year ' s Senior class was the last to have a choice of colleges, tiie class of 1957 in TD was characterized by a rather startling diversity — of interests, backgrounds, personalities. Yet within the common ground of Timothy Dwight we shared a sense of unity. Even the most cynical must admit that despite ourselves we enjoyed a curious brotherhood. It was this wiiich formed the basis of the society in which we lived and shall recall pleasantly, for in it we had a sense of security and a lack of genuine responsibility wiiich was rarely recognized when possessed. 112 TRUMBULL by Edward Caddell Ingalls AS summer ended, we men of Trumbull came drifting back to the college with our minds full of stories about Navy cruises, Army camps, and summer jobs. These thoughts passed, how- ever, and the realization that we were back to education tapped us on the shoulder — but not too hard. There were the football week ends breath- ing down our necks. Trumbull really showed its spirits on those week ends. The pre-game ac- tivities often began on Thursday nights in order to prepare our systems for the cold winds at the Bowl. Friday night Potty Court would become 113 alive as the Thursday revelers began to reach their quota. By game time Saturday everyone would be calmed down by the pressure of hordes of girls from Vassar, Smith, Holyoke, and otlier institu- tions of feminine pulchritude scattered over the East. After the game, Trumbull began to shine. From the entries rock ' n ' roll poured forth, usually sponsored by Trumbull ' s southern chapter of the Elvis Presley Association (SCEPA), led by Lee Deters. Merriment could be found in all the en- tries. Club 1175 often asked a few select people to drop in after the game and several times found that close to 50 carefully chosen friends had appeared to drink, talk, shout, and then amble Crew races were set up and everyone tried to beat an organized team of qualifiers and their dis- guised compatriot the Masked Marvel. Some people still think the Masked Marvel was the Guvnor. In one final abortive attempt of the fall season to do something original, Trumbull challenged Pierson to a greased pig chase prior to the Prince- ton game. The story leaked out to the local news- papers and thence to the SPCA. As Ed Ingalls, the Council President, had no intention of going to jail and missing the game due to the pig, the chase was cancelled. After Thanksgiving, Trumbull calmed down and the men turned to a bit of study. Throughout wmm ■ . 1 on over to other parties. Entry F, the zoo, was characterized by the notable personages it housed : Jack Pendergast, the Chief Aide; Lou DeLuca, Class Day Chairman, Charlie Abuza, George Dunn, and Dick Tompson, moguls of the OCD; Pete Fritzsche and Ted Kurtz of the varsity foot- ball and basketball teams respectively, to mention only a few. On the Cornell, Dartmouth, and Princeton week ends, the College Council held dances which broke several Trumbull standards; set-ups were served as in a bottle club, the dances were suc- cessful, and the council spent too much money. In an attempt to do something different within the college, the council planned a pre-game pic- nic at the Bowl on Princeton week end. With the fine help of Miss Lily Dale box lunches were made up, busses were cliartered, and an ample supply of beer was on hand — too bad it had to rain and snow. Early in the fall Doctor Nicholas also gave a beer party for the college in the dining hall. the year John Snider and Larry Perlman sold their Daily-Doubles at the snack bar to make up for v hat the dining hall could not provide. Quite a varied crew worked under the tutelage of the managers: Syd Cassell, Lee Deters, Dave Gibson, Larry List, and Tom Lee. Tom Cohen and John Donovan, co-chairmen of Trumbull Night, organized interesting weekly talks and discussions throughout the year. Mr. Walker spoke on the present situation in Red China; Mr. Doob analyzed the many national pre- election polls; Mr. Sewall led a lively discussion on the nature of tragedy. R. Barry Farrell, Arthur Howe, and of course Dr. Nicholas were just a few others to participate in this unique weekly event. Trumbull Night made a scoop by being the first organization on campus to show the Harvard game movies publicly. Dr. and Mrs. Nicholas will never be forgotten. During the course of the year, Dr. Nicholas, in his quiet yet confident way, guided the progress of all the members of Trumbull. Though many 114 m.iy .it times tend to lose siglit of tlie uidante otfered by the Master, it is visible in all of the college ' s activities. Mrs. Nicholas will be re- membered for her Thursday and Sunday teas. The atmospiiere of tiiesc gatherings removed us from the institutit)nal climate for a relaxing respite. Continued this year with even greater suc- cess were the traditional Senior dinners and entry parties. Long into the night in front of a blazing iirc, members of each entry could be seen rolling the little metal ball down the labyrinth. New records were set every night, the final one being a spectacular 207 holes without a miss. All the time Mrs. Nicholas maintained her reputation as a fine hostess by keeping well stocked the sup- plies of milk, beer, coke, ham, turkey, and cheese, in amounts that would put the Trumbull dining hall to shame. The Hungarian revolution in the fall had its effect on Yale and Trumbull. Before Christmas vacation Trumbull was host to one of several Hungarian refugees trying for admission to Yale. He was sent to Bard College until February for an intensive course in English. Upon his return in February he was assimilated into the Yale scene and began studying basic science courses. Ernie Fleissner, Tom Cohen, Tom Barrington, and Bob Netting wer e hard workers under the Chairman- ship of Don Edelstein of YEAHS, a group formed to solicit contributions for Hungarian aid. Entry G had its share of the literate this year. Ernie Fleissner, Editor of Criterion, was awarded John S. Kich l a Rhodes Scholarship and Bob Young was Scholar of the House. Also hailing from Entry G were Don Edelstein who with Larry Perlman was at the helm of the Hillel Cabinet. Bob Net- ting kept his eye on the Trumbull library with its new addition; Ellsworth Fersch kept his on the Trumbull Debate Team; and together they constituted two sevenths of Yale ' s honors Eng- lish majors. Bill Sheffield supervised all of Trum- bull ' s athletic programs (which was no easy job) as he had to gather several teams together out of Trumbull ' s limited manpower. CLiss of 19 i7 n ft- e ' « Hf M n -« ' f  ' f ff.:j .« t II f.s f. . tion production, The Inspector General, by N. Gogol. Bill Sheffield and John Dollard had the leading roles. Howie Hart deserves mention for holding down the vice-presidency of the American So- ciety of Mechanical Engineers as does Jack Pen- dergast as treasurer of the Aurelian Society. Of course no list for name dropping in Trumbull could forget Patsy Sperling, the College Secre- tary. Patsy has been everyone ' s friend and con- fidante. She kept her financial eye on Trumbull ' s morning coffee-break in the Fellows ' Lounge, but couldn ' t bring herself to cancel it when it began to lose money to a few over hungry boys who couldn ' t understand that the coffee and dough- nuts weren ' t free. It was Patsy who quietly kept the wheels of Trumbull turning. The mention of wheels brings to mind Trum- Trumbull men gave their names and services to many organizations on the campus. Carl Myrus was manager of the University Glee Club and Pitchpipe of the 1957 Whiffenpoofs. Carl was hampered somewhat in his duties for a couple of months after Christmas due to an automobile accident which resulted in his jaw being securely wired shut. Carl could still blow his pitchpipe, but beyond that we knew him as mumbles. Dale Park was manager of the Spizzwinks ( ? ) while Ben Eppes and Keith Cullin.m held the O ' s and B ' s together. Trumbull shall always respect its varsity team members. Jack Poinier captained the Yale hockey team while Jack Pendergast held the captaincy of the lacrosse team. Carl Hoffman and Joe Mesics added to the Bull strength on the lacrosse team. Ted Kurtz held on to a place for Trumbull on the varsity basketball team, while Fernando Al- varaz deToledo, Ted Achilles, Mickey Buckley, and Jon Edelstein pulled oars for the various crews. Dick Skewes and Pete Wight played var- sity football along with Pete Fritzsche. Doug Starkweather and John Slowick supported Kip- huth ' s swimming team and the track team re- spectively. Pete Wight also showed his physical prowess on the mats with the varsity wrestling team. Rik Broenniman was chairman of the Yale Outing Club and organized quite a few trips over the year. Tom Barrington was secretary of the Yale Sports Car Club and co-stage manager with Vic Kovner of the Trumbull Dramatic Associa- bull ' s Beer ' n ' Bike Race to Vassar. After a year ' s absence from the college scene the B ' n ' B Race was reinstituted this year. It had been postponed for a year due to technical difficulties of a fluid nature at Vassar last year. Andy Emerson, Chair- man of the 1957 B ' n ' B Society got off to an early start on Race organization with Vassar. Plans made this year ' s jaunt over to Poughkeep- sie the best race ever. Andy was aided by the honorable efforts of J. D. Watson, Treasurer; John Marden, Program Editor; Syd Cassell, Race Manager; Ed Ingalls, the Honorable (?) Chief Justice; and other associated sinecures. Besides the 70-mile frolic to Vassar, the coun- cil prepared two other major week ends. On Prom Week End, the council inaugurated some- thing new on the Trumbull social scene, an Apizza, beer, and Chianti party, complete with 116 1 ._i. singing groups and possibly a strolling accor- dionist, Tlic Trumbull Dramat College Week End performance of The Inspector General was given in mid-April and, like last year, was ex- tremely well received. If one were to make his judgments of Trum- bull s potential athletic prowess this year on the basis of Yale Daily News write-ups of intercol- lege sports, he would probably feel that Trum- bull was in line for aid by the Community Fund, Charities Drive, or some other benevolent asso- ciation. The OCD described Trumbull teams as lowly, undermanned, hapless, poor, humble, and once surprising. Trumbull was neither poor nor lowly. We must plead guilt) ' to the rest, however. Bill Sheffield did an admirable job of organizing teams out of an undermanned college. Syd Cassell was the captain of the foot- bull was proud of its hockey team and its cap- tain, John Snitlcr. At this writing they have won tv o games, breaking a losing record of several years duration. Mai MacNaught, Steve Colgate, Larr Barbour, John Fisserman, and Marty Mayer composed the backbone of the team and John Snider did an excellent job in the goal. Syd Cassell and J. D. Watson fought among the select few Yale men in the boxing ring. Syd was never able to make it through a boxing ses- sion without the biggest shiner one person could N ish on another. John Pogo Plecas was captain of Trumbull ' s A Basketball team. The team lived up to Trum- bull ' s record. It began by losing three games and winning none. Plec, Jack Pendergast and Vito Jim Therrien were our basketball stal- warts. Another mention should be made of John Esserman and Marty Mayer who have lent their support to almost every Trumbull sport. Finally, Fred Gerstell and Bob Young are captains of Trumbull ' s fine squash and swimming teams. Trumbull, measured by accomplishments and enjoyment, had a fine year. The strength of the college lay in four places. The Master ' s Office guided the progress of the college; the Trumbull College Council laid the actual groundwork for this progress; the Chief Aide and his subordi- nates initiated action; and the more than two hun- dred men of Trumbull realized the benefits of life in Trumbull throughout the year. ball team. The News originally classed Trumbull ' s football team as the one to beat in the inter- college circuit. Unfortunately, the team was broken by injuries early in the season and could not live up to its potentialities. As a matter of fact, the last time football was mentioned in Trumbull, it was determined that Trumbull lost all but one game. Somehow, we managed to ruin our record by tying one. Trumbull ' s soccer team did not fare much bet- ter than the football team this year. The loyal soccer team, captained by Andy Emerson, won one game, lost six, and tied tv o. The team played hard and had fun, ho ■ever. Tom Barrington played in the goal, Fred Gerstell was fullback, Ralph Cestero, left wing, Jim Monsonis, inside, and Steve Colgate. With the winter sports season underway, Trum- 19 57 ANTHOLOGY .Ij ft!(i l| l ' Pf f iiCT ' i ' lffff l  ! ,«v|?? iiL ' 1 ■. HjaSuwxu! X . . .

SOl MD atkl FUKY A Column from THE YALE DAILY NEWS hy CJERALD JONAS, 1957 One often wonders what people around here would talk about, if it weren ' t for the College System. This Hegelian hodge-podge of architecture and anarchy (half-Nirvana where boys become men and Fellows become Masters: and half-refuse heap, which bears the brunt of blame for most of Yale ' s problems) has been in recent weeks the subject of a panel discussion, reports and editorials in the Netis. and an investigation by one of Yale ' s most impressive and least active undergraduate organizations, Torih Honor Society. Perhaps if we didn ' t have a College System we could hnd iither bones of contention to gnaw, other flies in the ointment of education to swat. Let us hope this is true; because Sound and Fury herewith presents a solution of the enigma — a sweeping answer to what some revile as Harkness ' s Folly and others hail as the Great Gothic Hope of Yale. (As you can see, we haven ' t been absent from these pages for weeks as a result of indolence. Days of research and nights of sleeplessness have gone into our plan to out-Harkness Harkness, out-Sterling Sterling, out- college the Yale colleges, and out-house the Harvard Houses). The crux of the problem is really found in the make-up of the arious colleges ' student bodies: students are allotted to the dormitories through a mysterious process involving machinery, ingenuity, and secrecy, an unholy trinity of IBM, CCM, and MUM. While it is true that many undergraduates still approach the time of allocations with fear and trum- bulling in their hearts; there is some truth in the claim that the old, outmoded, invidious distinctions between the col- leges have been replaced, thus leaving the field clear for the development of newer more modern invidious distinctions. Concurrent with this levelling process (which can be seen in the D ' Port-ation of the shoe to the limbo of TD-um, and the pli.ght of the JE-ded who find themselves Pierson-a non grata), the powers-that-boo have announced a second goal: the development of a unique, binding tradition for each college, something intangible, yet permanent, which could be felt but not seen; like, for instance, an overdose of gamma rays. But this is serious business, and the problem is to supply each college with a cross-section gleaned from the upper layer of the nation ' s social parfait, while still maintaining that spirit of togetherness so important to every large college and advertising agency. Some say the dilemma is insoluble: if all the colleges contain the same proportions of good guys and bad guys, tipplers and ' totalers, intellectuals and Re- publicans, how in the name of John Dewey can individual Lollece traditions be fostered.- ' But this is mere defeatism. An exists. Here it We considered two possibilities. The first we summed up in the slogan: Every Student to Bear his Own Cross- Section. Under this plan, students would be handed schedules of personality traits as well as courses at the beginning of each year, and then follow it rigidly, drinking one week, abstaining the next, sweating one week, studying the next, kicking small Townie boys one week, kicking small Townie girls the next, attending St. Thomas More one week, Henri Peyre ' s lectures the next. Under this scheme of Institu- tionalized Schizophrenia, colleges could pick men of any particular background they desired and still preserve the blessed cross-section. But we finally decided that the dangers were too great. After all, what good is there in obtaining a meaningless mean, of achieving well-roundedness at the expense of straight-arrowness? So we rejected this possibility in the light of what we consider a far more useful suggestion. Having been handed a batch of animated anonymity by the IBM hopper, the college master would then take it on himself to instill SPIRIT into each identical group. Little identification cards would sprout like boutonnieres from each lapel: John Smith. English major. Davenport College. Where the elite meet to eat. or Sam Hall. Engineer. Silliman College. You can ' t get too much of a good thing. or Hubert Timid- fellow. Greek Poetry major. Calhoun College. Help. Each incoming class would wear beanies emblazoned with their college emblems, and be able to recite on request the names of all former college masters and the number of children each produced. The meals of the dining halls would differ radically: Saybrook could serve Mashed Squash as a tradi- tion. Berkeley nothing but diced squash, and Trumbull only zucchini. Branford could burn a B in the JE courtyard, and Davenport could wear Hate Pierson buttons. After a few years permanent, powerful traditions would be formed and the Yale colleges could unite into a kind of Big Ten Conference of New Haven. At last, personality and maturity would have come to the Residential College System. A Cartoon from THE YALE RECORD by GUY DAVID MACKENZIE 121 Hypocricy by AVRAM SHAWN KALKSTEIN, 1957 A Short Story from DAILY THEMES lis published hi THE YALE LITERARY MAGAZINE IN the afternoon the sun shone on glossy green leaves. Summer breezes breathed dog ood- sweet smells into the farm air and somewhere a bird chirped and beat its wirgs in flight from a rustling chipmunk. Underneath a group of tall strong trees bright blue and yellow striped garden chairs were ar- ranged in an open circle. The Smyth-Jones ' week- end guests strolled across tiie grass and sat in the chairs, careful not to spoil their Bermuda shorts with splinters. They relaxed and smoked and drank and talked. Alice (frail and blond and quiet) sat apart from the others, watching them. Cissie, pouring the unwanted remainder of her drink on the grass and watching it run in little rivulets and puddles antl suck into the ground, said, This would be simply u idi.Ici j tl. this thrilli)! place, if only I didn ' t have a simply terrible case of hay-fever. ' I was at my doctor ' s, night before last, said John, and you can get shots for it, you know. Mmmm, yes, Cissie mused, sniffing, her dark hair falling across her cheek. Her eyes shone and watered a little. But they hurt simply dir- jully, don ' t you think so. ' ' Nobody said anything for a while, and Mrs. Smyth-Jones, looking down the green-padded slope toward the lake, large and flat and blue said, Isn ' t my lake beautiful, Alice.- ' Alice was pale and blond and thin and the rims of her eyes were red and wet. She looked at the lake, scratching her arm with one long finger- nail, then smoothed back the disarranged wisps of hair on her arm, and said, Oh yes, it ' s so beautiful, and your whole estate is really grand. Carmen, I ' m so glad you invited me for the weekend! I thought it would be just what you need. If it pleases you I ' m glad, my dear, said Mrs. Smyth-Jones, and patted her arm. Alice smoothed the hairs down once more, sur- reptitiously, then straightened her crisp Bermuda shorts, and looked at the Wedgwood sky. She smelled the sweet clear air, examined with inter- est a pufif of cloud and sighed. Nature is so wonderful, she said lyrically. She looked at the lake, so bli e and not like water at all, she thought to herself, then smiled a pale smile and closed her small eyes, listening to people talk. A bird whistled, and she leaned back in her chair, eyes shut tight, her thin mouth still slightly crooked from smiling. When she opened her eyes there was a cater- pillar on her arm. She sat still and stared, eyes wide, her tongue a big ball between bursting lips. The fat furry animal crawled and hunched over the white flesh. But my clear, whiieier is the matter? Mrs. Smyth-Jones ' s -oice came from far away and sounded very small. Alice sobbed a little. Her eyes oozed freely. She felt as if her breasts were bloating, her arm seemed to shrivel and decay. The caterpillar, yelU)w and black and spiny, undulated and rolled continuously up her arm. It was now near her shoulder, and Alice felt her neck muscles twitch in panic. Suddenly she moaned and, activated at last, screamed in a large wail. Her glass fell to the ground, hit a rock and splintered, as she jumped from her chair, brushing and waving at her arm frantically and gasping. The caterpillar was gone, but the furry feel remained. She felt small hairs stand erect on her arm and she rubbed and rubbed at it sobbing and gulping and wailing. When she was quiet, and still shivering slightly, people standing over her curiously, she smelled once more the sweet thick air and vom- ited. Oh! cried Mrs. Smyth-Jones, recoiling. Alice merely said, My arm, my arm, as she touched it carefully and smoothed down the trembling hairs. It will never be the same, she said, and cried.

He had worn them inside his loafers at college and had been hot; and the sweat had mixed with the coloring inside his shoes and had stained the bottom of his socks orange. He didn ' t mind his white woolen socks having orange bottoms, in fact he was glad. No one would mistake them for being new. He was happy on vacation; and when he took off his bathing suit he could see where the tan stopped. He picked up his dark glasses, brushed the sand off the lenses, and looked the beach over for people he knew. He rolled over on his stomach, smoothed out the large red, green and white striped beach towel beneath his elbows and opened his book. He did not begin to read. It was the best time of the day when the sun has been up long enough only to warm the sand, and the picnickers and little children who cried when their sand castles washed away had not yet arrived. With his toes he pulled off his orange bottomed socks. Behind him he could hear the surf rushing in and out over the soft sand. A gull mewed overhead, dove swiftly down to the water and rose emptymouthed to circle again. Yale-on-Vacation smiled to him- self and closed his eyes. He did not hear the girl approaching. Who are you? asked Vassar-on-Vacation. I am an individual, he answered. I am an individual also. In W ' ' est port the wise men of the East, brief cases in hand , kissed their sleepy wives goodbye and boarded the 8:02 to get to the office before nine. Yale-on-Vacation opened his eyes and looked at the girl who had spoken. She had been in the sun more than he had — he could tell. She was very blond and tanned and very beautiful. He wondered why she was on the beach so early and who she was. He had never seen her before. He was a little angry that she had disturbed his solitude. It was no longer his beach, now he had to share it with the girl. He lay back on the towel and closed his eyes. He lay very still and hoped she would go away. Where are you from? asked Vassar-on-Va- cation. I am from God, he said a little bored. Are you sure? He paused then answered, No. A gray fia ' ineled arm. commuter ' s ticket attached . reached out towards a blue serge arm, ticket punch attached. Chwick! Goodmorning. foe. Goodmorning. Mr. Wehley. Nice day isn ' t it? Yes it is. Vassar-on-Vacation pulled him to his feet, Would you like me to tell you where you ' re from? Yes, he said and looked down at her. She was wearing cut off blue jeans, and they were faded and soft and she had rolled the bottoms so that they were tight against her thighs. Yes, tell me where I ' m from, he said with a strange urgency. Tell me if you can. I can ' t. I know, no one can. That ' s tiie great prob- lem, no one can tell where they are really from or where they ' re going. No one can ever tell the answer until it ' s too late. He watched her to see if she would laugh at him. He thought that lie would probably kill lier if she laughed. He tiiougiit that lie would probably take her down to the surf and hold her head beneath the water until the bubbles ceased. She didn ' t laugh. They held hands as they ran across the beach. They held hands tightly, tightly as they ran. He knew that if he let go of her hand he would never find the answer because she was somehow a part of it. And now they laughed together and lier blond hair fluttered behind her and when the wind suddenly came up behind them and passed them they fell to the sand and waited for their breath to return. He wanted to build a castle, a sand castle that would reach up to the clouds, and together they would climb the steps he would carve in its walls. But the sand would not mold together. They lay back and let the sand trickle beneath their naked toes. A family appeared over a dune and spread towels and umbrellas and ice coolers and suntan oil and their child, sand bucket already brim- 124 ming, walked over to the couple on tlie beacli and stared at them. Goodmorning, Vassar-on- Vacation offered. Nice day, isn ' t it? Yale-on-Vacation asked tiie little boy. The little boy stared at thcni, emptied his pail of sand, and walked back to his parents. The young couple did not understand the sig- nificance of the boy ' s gesture. They were en- grossed in each other. He wondered whether she, herself, knew the answer. He wondered if she was aware of the question. Tuo hands folded a New York Times. What station teas that ire just passed? 1 really didn ' t notice. Yale-on-Vacation thought about the answer with the blond haired girl beside him and the sand drifting across his instep. He remembered white bellied trout rising to a feathered lure. Cool forests of pines and rocky mountain peaks, baby racoons washing their faces beside slow moving streams, summer nights after thunder- showers. He knew that he was beginning to find the answer and turned quickly to the girl. She started to speak. No, no, don ' t say anything, he said. I just want to look at you. You ' re part of the answer. I know, she said and smiled a womanly smile. Vassar-on-Vacation ran her fingers across his cheek. Would you like to kiss me? No. Down the beach the parents of the little boy dove into the surf. The father pinched the mother ' s bottom and laughed when in surprise she had swallowed some of the water. He hit her on her back until she stopped coughing antl waded back to the shore. Yale-on-Vacation wiggled his toes and felt the sand grind between them. He knew he would fall in love with this girl if he saw her any more. He didn ' t mind. He wondered what she ' d look like with a pile of books in her arm and no tan. ' ' One Hundred and Twenty-Fifth Street . . . One Hundred and Twenty-Fifth Street! Next stop Grand Central. Somehow I think I ' m beginning to under- stand, he said. I think the answer lies in . . . He could not finish. In what? I don ' t know, damn. DAMN! I don ' t know! I can help you, she said. I know, said Yale-on-Vacation. Together we can find tlie answer. But I can ' t e.xplain it in words. There are no words for it. It doesn ' t fit into words. The train entered the tunnel and sped towards Grand Central Station. Gray flannelled, Mr. W eb- ley reached up to the rack above him and pulled down his brief-case. He looked out at the trails of the tunnel and smiled. I thought we ' d never get here. he told the man sitting next to him. But eventually we always do. A seagull flew over the dune, saw the couple on the beach below him and veered sharply to the right and out to sea. OL 3Jl by MICHAEL GEORGE COOKE, 1957 A Poem from THE YALE LITERARY MAGAZINE The autumn dove, (leaves like stained-glass window Broken, tumbled in a useless heap). Stared from its tabernacle with wonder On the world. The wind caught its breath, blowing Cool, after feathers and forests Strewn round like petals to its power. Last fruits hung sullen, packed plush Against December. Limbs still with bravery Disdaining earth, mute and trembling Thrust fingers of accusation at the sky. In fallen leaves the snake roamed for A victim to coil round for warmth past December. The dove looked full at the world and was drawn, Resistlessly drawn; fluttered a wing, and flew. And the wind raged bitter and buffeting cold; And smooth limbs, frozen and aching, let none grip; And beak-burst fruits gave only maggots and marl. The dazed dove staggered a gain to its tree. But the branches were gleaming swords, stern And forbidding entrance. The dove darted hither And thither in frenzy, finding no breach; Strained skyward, on broken wing, teetered, And with one desperate, fluttery surge. Thudded among rotten leaves. The snake, coldly gazing, endured precipitous winter. Coiled warm in the cloak of assurance That spring could only be his. 125 J-w iPcy e i Imperfect in beret and cape, She shines back from a shop window: A daisy ' s symmetric hne gone, Thus, because a bee bends petals; Or, thus, when a balsam ' s deconed To pass electric power lines.

An edilor ' tul from THE YALE DAILY NEWS by GERALD JONAS, 1957 and HAROLD STRONG GULLIVER, 1957 Yesterday the last of the free radios in Budapest went off the air with this despairing plea to the United States, UN aid conies too slowly, for the sake of God and free- dom, help us. From a city of flames came these final agonizing words, Goodbye friends, save our souls, the Russians are too near. Rarely has any conflict between right and wrong been so terribly clear as in the Hungarian crisis. Not since the days of Hitler has the United States faced a more necessary and obvious decision. We either take our stand fearlessly for freedom, even to the point of a Third World War, or we compromise our every idea in an appeasement far more shameful than that of Munich in 1938. We have tragically missed one chance for action. Several days ago, just prior to Russia ' s treacherous armed inter- vention, the Nagy regime had consolidated its position on a broad democratic basis, allowed representatives of all non- communist parties into the government, and promised free elections. Then was our chance. We should have issued an ultimatum to the Russian troops still in Hungary to heed the request of the Hungarian government and leave — or risk the threat of UN armed support for the struggling new regime. Such support, backed by United States arms and men, would have given Russia the clear choice of keep- ing their own public promise of evacuating Hungary — or blatantly moving in more troops and risking a full-scale war. We have now lost that chance. The situation has become much more frightening. With no ultimatum to restrain them, vast Russian reinforcements, between twelve and twenty divisions, have ruthlessly invaded Hungary and are now once again in iron control of that unhappy land. We now face a jait accompli. In the days just past the Hungarian people have shown a breathless world that the hearts and minds and souls of men still respond to a dream of freedom, whatever the cost in pain and suffering and death. In a startling outburst of courage, this oppressed people rose to throw off the chains of their own Stalinist regime and then, emboldened by their unbelievable success, they turned on their Russian oppressors. Against overwhelming arms, but with the sup- port of the satellite army, the Hungarian people seemed to have won their struggle against foreign domination. At 10 Saturday night, Russian representatives began nego- tiations with the new Nagy regime for the removal of Soviet troops from Hungary. Hours later they launched a surprise attack on Hungary with some twelve to twenty armed divisions. Blazing a path of ruthless destruction through the country, they hurled phosphorous shells into the city of Budapest, killed and disarmed the rebels, and in a few brutal hours set up a new puppet government of their own, which brazenly called for Soviet assistance two hours .ifler the attack started. Last night the United Nations General Assembly passed a US resolution asking the Russian troops to evacuate and to allow UN observes in Hungary. This is too little and the hour is too late. The League of Nations sent such a group of observers to Manchuria after the Japanese invasion in 1931. Their report was meaningless because no one was willing to oppose this aggression with force. The United States and the free world must not stand idly by, while Russia ruthlessly suppresses Hungary ' s new freedom. To read the news of the past two weeks is to feel an intense sympathy for the rebels — the thousands of martyrs fighting artillery with small arms and tanks with bottles of gasoline, the young people marching arm in arm into machine gun fire rather than live under oppression. By late afternoon yesterday, an estimated 10,000 refugees had already fled Hungary for the comparative safety of the Austrian frontier. There is only one honorable course open to the LInited States. We must issue an ultimatum — through the UN if possible, alone if necessary — ordering Russian troops out of Hungary. This does indeed mean war if the Soviet Union fails to comply. We have breathed enough platitudes about freedom and moral force. The new order in Poland may be the next government crushed by Russia ' s renewed impe- rialism. And beyond Poland, no one knows who might be next. The question of freedom vs. slavery is etched in acid across the face of Eastern Europe. The older generation makes the wars, it is said, but the youth of a country must fight them. Yet in this crisis, we are confident that the college students of America are behind us in demanding that our leaders take a positive stand for freedom in Hungary and Poland — and defend that stand with all the forces at our disposal. The courageous Uni- versity students, who in the face of cold steel, started the upheavals in Poland and Hungary and struck a staggering blow at Russian tyranny, must be our example. American college students will not allow their Hungarian and Polish counterparts to die for their courageous action while our leaders sit and talk and fail to act. We can do more than argue ethics in class and debate the meaning of the American revolution. We can fight — and if necessary, die — for what we believe. Never has the issue been so clear, the call so strong. IQ 57 A THLETICS • V r-. •■ ' TjPT I t t Ivy, Big Three Crowns to Gridders by Ddi iil ' Ibornlini R JJ joiJ THE 19 6 football team put together the best Yale gridiron season since 1927 witli a rec- ord of eight wins and only one loss and the cham- pionship of the newly-formed, formalized I ' League. The team ' s only loss was a frustrating 14-6 defeat at the hands of Colgate in a non-league contest. In this game only tiie score shows that Yale lost, for the Elis dominated most of the play and had an advantage in both rushing and passing yardage. In their last two games of the season the Elis smashed the two traditional rivals, previ- ously unbeaten Princeton, and Harvard by scores of 42-20 and 42-14. So all in all, it was a highly successful season. And yet with the season two-thirds over, no one would have ventured the opinion that this was one of Yale ' s greatest teams. Before the season be- gan, the press, student body, and old Blues alike predicted that the Elis were the cream of the Ivy crop and one of the best teams in the East. One forecaster even went so far as to pick Yale as the number three team in the nation. Coach Jordan Olivar had 3(i of 33 lettermen back from last year ' s team, the only first string losses being tackles Phil Tarasovic and Bill Lovejoy. He liad an all-Senior backfield which included all-Ivy selec- tion Dennis McGill, all-East Al Ward, and two experi- enced performers in Dean Loucks and Steve Ackerman. In the line Olivar had all-East Paul Lopata al one end and Senior ' Vern Loucks at the other. Captain Mike Owseichik was shifted to guard to make room for Sopliomore Alex Kroll at cen- ter. Another Sophomore Charlie Griffith showed N.w E„fiU„J ' great promise and won a starting jx sition at one tackle, while Senit)r Bide Thomas who had played behind Tarasovic for two years filled the otlier tackle slot. Pete Fritzsche and Jack Embersits alternated at the other guard position. Yale supporters were dis- appointed throughout most of the season with all this pre- season optimism on their minds. The Elis won their first four games of the season but not in anywhere near the de- cisive fashion that had been expected. In the opening game against UConn, the Elis won, 19-14, but only the clock saved Yale from defeat as the Huskies had the ball on the Eli three yard line when time ran out. The team looked a little better against Brown, winning, 20-2, but then slumped again with an unim- pressive 33-19 win over Co- lumbia. Improvement was no- ticed in the 2 5-7 win over Cornell, but then came the disheartening loss to Colgate. Perhaps Yale had been over- rated. However, it seemed to many supporters that the Elis had a big, p owerful machine that just couldn ' t get up enough steam to run the way it was designed. However, this loss seemed to be just the impetus that was needed, and the Elis roared through the remainder of the season looking like the team that everyone had ex- pected. The first victim was Dartmouth, and although the score to only 19-0, the im- provement in the Yale team was marked. Penn fell next by a score of 40-7 and then came the two finest performances, the victories over Prince- ton and Harvard. fumbles hek 131 P4?

THE Yale eleven took the field for its open- ing game against Connecticut with a lot of pre-season ballyhoo and a high national rating and came out of the game fortunate to be the victors. The final score was Yale 19 and UConn 1 4, but the score is no indication of how close Yale came to losing its first opening game in fifteen years and its first to UConn in eight con- tests. The Eli Senior backfield had been highly touted, but an obvious lack of depth there plus inexperience in the line showed up glaringly in this initial contest. Only the clock prevented the hred-up Huskies from coming out on top as time ran out for them when they had the ball on the ilh h.ick djyi U ' ilh j lou- hurdle. YALE CONNECTICUT 19 14 Eli three yard line. The visitors had moved through the Yale de- fenses with apparent ease from their own 43 yard line and almost certainly would have scored had they had time for two more plays. It was an inauspicious beginning for the vaunted Elis who played only one quarter of the kind of football of which they were capable. After scoring on the third play from scrimmage in the first quarter, Yale lapsed into sluggish, unalert play for the rest of the half, permitting LJConn to score twice for a 14-6 lead as the teams left the field at halftime. The Bulldogs roared back to score two quick touchdowns in the third quarter on well-directed, sustained drives, but as soon as they had assumed the lead, the quality of play fell off again with only the clock averting disaster at the end. Quarterback Dean Loucks opened the Eli scor- ing with a 56-yard sprint off the option play on the third play of the game, and it looked as if the game would be a rout, but soon the Elis found themselves fighting uphill to win. Loucks passed 29 yards to Junior end Mike Cavallon for the second score, and Denny McGill blasted through from three yards out for the Elis ' final TD. After those two scores, the game settled down sluggishly to await Connecticut ' s final frustrated drive. Fans left with the feeling that it had been a game between equals. THE Elis showed vast improvement in tlicir next game and easily defeated Brown, 20-2, in their first venture into the newly formalized Ivy League. Improvement was noticeable in every phase of play over the previous week ' s perform- ance against UConn. The team blocked and tackled with authority, and coach Olivar ' s Split-T attack functioned more smoothly. McGill and Ward paced the Yale ground attack with their usual fine running, and each scored a touchdown. Dick Winterbauer ' s passing resulted in McGill ' s score, and the Junior quarterback also ran for a touchdown himself. Yale ' s first score came in dramatic fashion and seemed to break Brown ' s spirit. The Eli attack couldn ' t get going throughout most of the first quarter. Sloppy ball handling and an apparent miscount in downs by the officials halted the first Eli drive. When Yale next got the ball, Wintcr- bauer uncorked a beautiful 70-yard scoring pass to McGill. The pass carried 24 yards in the air, and McGill took it witiiout breaking stride about two yards ahead of the Brown defender and sped untouched into the end zone to give the Elis all the margin they needed. The half ended with Yale leading, 6-0. After the intermission, Yale continued a pat- tern established last year of being a second-half ball club. The first time they got the ball, the Bulldogs went 65 yards in eight plays to score their second touchdown. The payoff play was a Bunt II i ul . Bliit iliiiie uall. 22-yard blast over guard by Al Ward. The Bruins got their two points from an automatic safety early in the final quarter. Winterbauer went back to punt from his four yard line, and the pass from center sailed over his head and through the end zone. Winterbauer, who played after Loucks had been banished after a brief skirmish with the Brown captain, scored the final TD. Achni,.,,! lu,,:. ,,ij ., BiJ, Th.,m.,. l-.l. .i • ' . ' .;• Bi.

With the ex- ception of two Yale scores in the second quarter, the outmanned Lions matched the Bulldogs touch- dovin for touchdown, mainly on the brilliant play of their fine quarterback, Claude Benham. Ben- ham ' s passing, although brilliant, was the only Lo i Lillle: win a jew, Inse j jew. Ciii.illoi! terijies an Ackermjn louchdoxin. offensive weapon the Lions had. The Elis had worked all week in practice against his passes, yet the little signal caller riddled the Yale sec- ondary all afternoon. Yale won the game mainly on the strength of depth as the Lions tired no- ticeably toward the end of each half. The Bulldogs continued the pattern set in their two previous games ot exploding for their first score. On the second series of YALE COLUMBIA 33 19 Yale plays, Ward broke through the middle of the Columbia line and raced 68 yards to score. Against UConn Dean Loucks had gone 56 yards on the third play of the game, and against Brown a 7t)-yard .scoring pass from Winterbauer to Mc- Gill opened the Eli scoring. A Winterbauer to Donnie Griffith pass and a one-yard blast by Ackerman gave Yale a 20-6 lead at halftime after Columbia had scored on one of Benham ' s passes. The Lions came right back in the third period and marched 64 yards in seven plays to make it 20-12 and cause the Yale supporters to wonder if the Lions were on their way to what would have been the biggest upset of the )ear. But, with the Lions ' regulars beginning to tire against the Bulldog reserve strength, Yale added two more TD ' s to finally sew up the game. Ackerman scored from four yards out, and Loucks passed to John Pendexter for the final tally. Ward was Yale ' s top ground gainer with 109 yards in 12 carries, and McGill went for 47 yards in ten tries plus a 4 5 -yard punt return. Although Yale ' s performance was below par, a pleasant surprise v,as the offensive and defensive play of Griffith, substituting for Ward, and the running of second string fullback Tom Lorch.

By winning, the Bulldogs established themselves as the pacesetters in the Ivy League. Yale excelled in ev- ery phase of the game, and, although it led only 6-0 at the half, there ne er was a doubt in anyone ' s mind that the Elis would win easily. They gained at will through the line, around the ends, and through the air, while defensively keeping the Ithacans from penetrating the Eli 40 yard line until the Big Red scored late in the fourth quarter. Acker- man put on a bruising show of line-smashing in the game, racking up lOS yards in 29 carries and scoring twice. On one third-quarter drive. the senior fullback carried 12 out of 17 times in the 87-yard march and lugged the ball nine times in a row at one point. For the fourth straight game, the Elis scored cjuickly. Ward returned the opening kickoff 50 yards in a brilliant run, putting the ball on the Cornell 34. Four plays later the Bulldogs had a score. Ackerman and Ward on three plays carried to the 23 where McGill scampered around end untouched for the tally. The Elis couldn ' t put together another scoring drive in the first half as they frittered away several opportunities with penalties and missed passes, but they came back quickly in the third period with two scores to erase any Cornell chance. After the second half kickoff, Cornell got off only one play from scrimmage before Dean Loucks intercepted a Cor- nell pass on the Ithacans ' 47 yard line and ran it down to the 1 4. Ward took it over. The team seemed to be just reaching its po- tential, and everyone was looking forward expec- tantly toward the next game: Colgate, the team that had killed the giants the year before.

AFTER running up four victories in a row, the Elis were upset, 14-6, by Colgate in a non-league game. It was the second consecutive year that the Red Raiders had stopped a Yale winning streak at four games. It was a frustrating afternoon for the Bulldogs who had every edge statistically and were clearly the better team on the field. The Elis showed a bruising ground attack and were also the better team defensively, holding the visitors to one first down in the first half. But the breaks and mistakes worked in Col- gate ' s favor, and the Elis ' hopes for an unde- feated season were gone. Colgate ' s first score came as a shock to the BuUdogs who were driving to what appeared to be an easy touchdown early in the first quarter. Yale had marched 43 yards down to the Colgate 22 yard line when a Colgate end picked off an intended pass from Dean Loucks to John Pen- dexter and turned it into a 78-yard scoring play. The play was a short pass, but Al Jamison, the Colgate end, slipped in between, intercepted, and ran the ball to midfield, where he lateraled to halfback ' Wally Betts who took it the rest of the way to score. Several Yale tacklers had a shot at Jamison but couldn ' t hold him. The Elis were also frustrated on their next march. An 82-yard drive brought the ball do ' n to the Colgate four yard line, but a first down was missed by a foot, and Colgate took over. In the third quarter Yale put together another con- certed drive and this time went 81 yards to score with Ackerman getting the TD from 12 yards out to make it 7-6. But Colgate came right back to score, making it 14-6. This drive was almost halted when Pendexter barely missed an intercep- tion that dribbled off his fingertips. With eight minutes to go, it looked as if the Elis might still have a chance. They drove down to the Colgate I i but then fumbled to end any hope of victory. Frustration keynoted the game, perhaps more than even the fans noticed at the time. Rarely has a team been so close and yet unable to win.

The game was highliglited h McGill ' s 93-yard touchdown run but marred by fumbles, interceptions, and generally sloppy play. The Elis were much the superior team but still failed to perform in the manner of which many thought they were capable. The Eli oiTense sput- tered on and off all afternoon, and Yale lost the ball five times on interceptions and tlirec times on fumbles. The Elis were not alone in the loose play, however, as the Big Green lost the ball on seven occasions. McGill ' s run was a thing of beauty, and the 33,000 fans gave him a rousing ovation as he came off the field immediately afterwards. After an exchange of punts in the second quarter. Yak- put the ball in play on its own seven yard line, and, on the first play from scrimmage, McGill took off around left end on his way to the goal 93 yards away.

The tl ' llojl, ] Lulhll. scoring play started from 12 yards out with Loucks pitching to Ward on the three yard line. Ward cauglit the ball with his back to the goal and whirled around and into the end zone. Vern Loucks then made the only conversion of the afternoon. The final score came with only seconds remaining in the game and substitutes dominating the Yale lineup. Third string quarterback Charlie Peet threw a ten-yard pass to Ted Loud, a JV player, for the touchdown. Yale still had showed no team power, and the fans went home with the same feeling: that there was still a lot of suppressed and unrealized ability in that team.

THE Elis moved one step closer to the I League title as they trounced Penn, 40-7, in their next game. Yale finally showed its power. speed, and deception in this game, to live up to the high pre-season rating it had been given. Penn never had a chance as the Elis ' big, mobile l-ne of Lopata, Thomas, KroU, Embersits, Grif- litli, and Cavallon completely outplayed the oppo sition ' s forward wall and led the way to an eas) ictor ' . The Bulldogs achieved the victory with t)ut the services of starting guards, Owseichik Li,l ll.l .hhh U I ' niuh I,, Ihl hJl.ll. and Eritzsche, who had to sit out the contest with injuries. Before the game, Baird, Wight, and Kroll were also on the injured list. Yale, moreover, was looking ahead to the Princeton game. Com- placency might well have resulted in disaster, for the spirited Quakers had improved fast this year. They had achieved a 3-1 league record, surpassed only by the 4-0 marks of Yale and Princeton, by beating Dartmouth, Harvard, and Brown, while losing to Princeton. They might well have re- turned home from their first bowl visit in 14 years with a win had not Yale played as it re- putedly could. Eight Elis got into the scoring parade as Coach Olivar used 41 players, with reserves playing most of the second half. McGill scored on an eight-yard run, Ackerman on a two-yar d plunge, W ' interbauer on a one-yard plunge, and Lopata on a 37-yard pass from Winterbauer. Reserves Herb Hallas and Ralph Wisz got the ;ither two touchdowns, Hallas (MT an 1 l-yard YALE PENNSYLVANIA 40 7 McGill fifihh jur ymi.in. run and Wisz on a 73-yard punt return. Vern Loucks made three conversions, and Charlie Peet got another. Yale ran up two touchdowns in the first quarter and led, 21-0, at the half, so there was never any question as to the outcome of the game. The only Penn score came late in the game against the Elis ' third team. McGill, Ackerman, and Dean Loucks were hurt during the contest but not seriously enough to keep them out of the next game. At last the fans had seen some semblance of what they had been awaiting for several years. „ THE Yale eleven had its finest hour of the season, and perhaps of the last decade, as it smashed Princeton, 42-20, to assure at least a tie for the Ivy League title. The ease and preci- sion with which the Elis disposed of tiie Tigers proved without a doubt that this team was one of the great Yale teams i in history. The Bull- | YALE 42 dogs had stumbled | PRINCETON 20 through most of the schedule, playing only hard enough to win, but tliis was a supreme effort, and it established the Elis as one of the better teams in the country. Even the three touchdown margin in the final score does not do justice to the superiority which Yale showed over the Tigers. The Elis built up a 35-13 lead at the half and then turned the game over to the reserves for most of the final two periods, .so there is every indication that the score would have been much higher had Coach Olivar not substituted freely. No one Eli could be singled out for praise in this game, for it was truly a team victory. The Yale line got the jump on the Tigers all afternoon and led the way for the Elis ' smoothly operating Senior backfield. McGill and Ward got two touchdowns apiece, witii Pendexter and Ackcrman getting the others. Vern Loucks made five conversions, and Bob Corry the other. The victory was only the second time in the last ten years that the Elis had beaten the Tigers. The otlicr was the last-second win in Princeton in 1953.

II IN the List game of the season, Yale put the finishing touches on the best EH gridiron season since 1944 by defeating Harvard, 42-H, at Cambridge. The victory gave the Elis the first championship in the nev ly formed Ivy League and their first Big Tiirce title since 1946. It fine farewell YALE HARVARD 42 14 „i d was performance for the IS Seniors who played their last game for Yale. The all-Senior backfield of Dean Loucks, Al Ward, Denny McGili, and Steve Ackerman had another great day as did the starting Senior linemen, Paul Lopata, Bide Thomas, Captain Mike Owseichik, Pete Fritzsche, and Vern Loucks. Other Elis who played their last game were Bob Corry, Donnie Griffith, Charlie Peet, Ken Jones, Bob Mobley, Ted Frembgen, Bill Ryland, Dick Moneymaker, and Ted Loud. Harvard put up a spirited defense, but it wasn ' t enough to stop the powerful Elis, and especially the running of Ward and McGill. McGill turned in a 78-yard touchdown run from scrimmage, and Ward ran back a kickoff for 79 yards and another score. McGill got another touchdown on a short run, and Ackerman took a pass from Loucks to tally. Lopata and Sopho- more Herb Hallas made the other two TD ' s. Lopata made his score on a circus catch of a pass from Dick Winterbauer. Vern Loucks came through again on the extra points, making five out of five to give him 12 out of 13 in the last three games.

SHOWING nearly uniform strength at all posi- tions, the Yale soccer team compiled a record of nine wins, one loss, and a tie, winning the Ivy League and Big Three titles. Graduation losses were filled as Scott Murphy and Jim King stepped into starting positions at goal and right fullback, respectively, while Sam Allen moved to left fullback. The halfback line was centered by Bob Pelletreau, with Captain Fred Williams flanking him on the left and all- Ivy Harry Gridley on the right. Led by its insides, high-scoring Lars Kulleseid and ail-American Mike Cooke, the forward line was also strong. The outside left position was filled by Hiram Maxim; Bill Andrews started at outside right. Starting chores at center forward were shared by three men: Luis Aguilar, Perry Bascom, and Bob McKean. The booters inaugurated their season with a 5-0 win over Connecticut. Aguilar, having scored all of his team ' s four goals in this game last year, scored the first three goals and Kulleseid admin- istered the coup de grace with two fourth period scores. Hopes for an undefeated season were quickly dashed by Springfield. The Gymnasts tied one goal Yale leads in every quarter and went on to win, 5-4. Two goals by Kulleseid and one each by Andrews and Aguilar were wasted as the Eli defense failed to contain the opposition ' s attack. This defeat was followed by the first Ivy League encounter of the year against Brown. The booters were behind 1-0 at half time, but they came back in the second half, evening the count when Kulleseid pounded in a pass from Aguilar. Yale earned a hard-fought victory when Aguilar pushed the ball into the nets while lying flat on his back. For three quarters and a half at Annapolis the following week the Elis engaged the Middies in a scoreless duel. Both teams threatened each other continually, only to be turned back by effi- cient defensive units.

The victory was a costly one for the Elis; Aguilar broke his collarbone and was lost for the season. After this triumph, the Bulldogs crushed Wes- leyan, 5-0. The Elis showed a well-distributed scoring punch led by the two goals of McKean, with Kulleseid, Bascom, and Andrews adding single markers. Against Cornell, the hooters could only gain a 1-1 tic. Although they dominated play, out- shooting the Big Red 32-9, the Elis failed to capitalize on repeated scoring opportunities. After a scoreless first half outside left Jim Sampliner sent Yale ahead on a hard shot into the nets. Late in the fourth quarter Cornell inside Jim Vogeler scored on a solo effort to achieve the tie. The Elis next met and defeated Army, 3-0. Early in the first period Andrews headed the ball to convert a Maxim corner kick into a goal. In the second period Yale ' s insides, Kulleseid and Cooke, combined to produce a 2-0 halftime lead. Kulleseid drove a pass down the center to Cooke who found the corner of the nets.

In the fourth period KuUeseid con- verted a pass from Andrews to put Yale in front, 3-0. Dartmouth ' s only goal came late in the game. Penn entertained thoughts of winning its sec- ond successive Ivy League title, but the Elis trounced the Quakers, 4-1. Bascom led the way with three goals for Yale. After Penn scored in the first period to assume a 1-0 lead, the Elis dominated the remainder of the game. The Yale forward line riddled the Penn defense with short, accurate passes setting the stage for Bascom s goals and one by Cooke. The following week Yale defeated Princeton, 2-0. The Elis could not score until the tiiird period hen Cooke passed to Kulleseid who scored with a hard shot. In the fourth period Cooke again crossed the ball to Kulleseid who headed it into the nets. In their final game the hooters engaged dan- gerous Harvard in Cambridge, winning, 2-1. The Elis scored twice in the first period as Cooke took a pass from Kulleseid for the first and Paul Ogden passed to Bascom for the next.

Yale opened the season by losing to Connecti- cut ' s runners, headed by Lewis Stieglitz who set a new course record. Yale, however, outclassed Brown to place second in this triangular meet. The Elis were led by Jack Bogan and Tim Hogen, followed by Captain Kibbe Fitzpatrick, John Slowik, and John Kingston. The final score saw Connecticut ahead, 2 5-40-71. The next week end, the harriers defeated Co- lumbia and Dartmouth in a triangular meet. The victory was decisive as Yale had five men among the top seven places. Hogen, Bogan, and Kings- ton finished second, third, and fourth, followed by Al Friedman and Fitzpatrick. In a close race, Yale edged out Cornell, winner of the Heptagonal Championship the previous year, 26-29. The victory saw outstanding running by Hogen, who placed second, Kingston, Fried- man, Bogan, and Slowik. The harriers next faced Fordham and, despite adverse weather, proved their superiority.

This victory brought the Malcolm Main Cup to New Haven after an absence of three years. The two remaining meets were the Heptag- onals and the Intercollegiate Championships. In the Heptagonals, Yale placed fifth, behind Har- vard, Cornell, Army, and Navy. The top man for Yale was Bogan in seventh place, followed by Hogen, who fell on an incline injuring himself, in 20th. The Yale scorers included Friedman, Fitzpatrick, and Jeff Loucks. In the Intercollegiate Championships, Yale tied for 1 5th place. Hogen led the Eli runners, placing 38th in a field of 200 runners. The next Yale scorer was Friedman in 45th place. 145 Cagers Best in Ivy, Gain NCAA Bid Capta, ' Edward Rodinson Coach Joseph Vancisin Manager RXHARD S. IlALl, THE linal game of the 1956-57 season for the varsity basketball team was a defeat, but, in losing, the team won their highest acclaim of the season and retired for the year amid the choruses of well-earned praise. Playing before 16,000 fans in Madison Square Garden, the Blue found itself paired against the nation s number one team. North Carolina (27-0). For three ex- tremely close and tense quarters, the Yale five proved beyond a doubt that they could stand against any team in ths country and did just that. Captain Ed Robinson demonstrated that it took more than just a h:-.ght advantage by op- posing players to overcome the desire to win, and Johnny Lee gave such an exhibition of excellent basketball that all watching were convinced of tlie fact that he was the most versatile player on the floor tliat nigiit. This linal game, the first round of the NCAA regional play-offs, climaxed the most successful Yale basketball season since 1949. Under Coach joe Vancisin, replacing the resigned Howard Hobson, the team found a young and spirited ex- Minnesota coach and Dartmouth graduate whose vigorous desire to make a good team realize its potentialities resulted in the Ivy League and Big Three championships. Winning the former on Don Babb ' s last two-second shot from 2 5 feet out and the latter on Lanny Baird ' s last second tap, the team thus earned their first NCAA bid in eight years. The squad began the season on a note of cau- tious optimism. Returning from the previous season were nine lettermen led by two-year cap- tain Ed Robinson, previous Ivy League scoring champion John Lee, and defense specialist Tom Sargent, all from last year ' s starting five. Up from the freshmen were Larry Downs, Tom Molumphy, and Bill Bodman, who lent needed height and speed to the returning nucleus. Opening strongly against a good Amherst quintet with an impressive 76-55 victory, the Elis 146 Amherst ytlicElis - ' K then fell to a strong U Conn team, while a fine second half performance by Lee and Downs gained a come-from-behind victory over Ford- ham, 75-70. The Bulldogs defeated Wesleyan in a careless, poorly played game, but turned in an easy win and played better ball two nights later to record their first Ivy League victory over Penn- sylvania. Playing their third game in four nights, a tired Eli quintet fell before a strong Dartmouth five and then broke for vacation with a 4-2 record. The winless four-game Christmas tour into the Big Ten was not all in vain, for from it the Elis pinpointed their weaknesses and began a concentrated effort to strengthen both their offense and defense. Most obvious of these changes were the initiation of a fast break, the coordination of attack patterns, and the develop- ment of a pressing defense. The work paid off in a 66-64 win over Con- necticut, evening the season ' s series, followed by two victories over Brown and one over Army be fore examinations. The Elis entered the last half of their season with an 8-6 record — i wins in the Ivy League. The four-game winning streak began to snow- ball as the Blue defeated Cornell at Ithaca. Then in New York the Elis, playing their fine-st game of the season, handily surpassed a 36-point per- formance by Columbia ' s diet The Jet Forte to trounce the Lions in a smootiily played 103-87 game. Three nights later, Yale gained first place in the Ivy League race by defeated previously unbeaten Princeton with a strong second-half finish, 74-60. In the final independent game of the regular season, the Elis travelled to Holy Cross and handed the Crusaders their first defeat at home in over 20 games, 91-82. Returning to New Haven, the Bulldogs continued to roll, defeating for the second time both Cornell and Columbia. After the Tiger spoiled a ten-game win streak, the cagers, tied with Datrmouth for the league lead, travelled to Hanover for the crucial game of the season. The first half saw the score tied at 30-30, although Dartmouth showed superiority in clearing the backboards. Both teams played careful ball during the second half, but the Indians ' control of the boards gave them a 56-50 lead with four minutes remaining. A zone de- fense with a combined press gave the Elis five straight points, and, with a minute left, Dart- mouth led, 56-55. With the ball in Yale ' s hands, Coach Vancisin elected to control the ball for the last shot. Down ' s lay-up attempt with 10 seconds remaining was blocked and bounced out of bounds. A hasty pass inbounds found Don Babb along the right sidelines and with two seconds remaining, the second-string center arched . . . Douiis pumps. Thompson scr.ipt jor kill. a 2 5-foot overliandcr cleanly through the hoop for the Yale win, 57-56. The last three games of the regular season saw a fa st-striking Eli five roll up early point leads, only to fall behind with five minutes re- maining in each game. In all these dangerous situations, the will to win brought victory. On Thursday, February 28, Yale ' s first Ivy League title since 1949 and its ninth in history was secured as Harvard upset second place Darf- mouth, 69-60, mathematically eliminating tlie Green from contention; and Baird ' s tap against the Crimson brought the Big Three title home, thus successfully fulfilling everyone ' s expectations.

In extending their consecutive dual meet victory string to 156 Kiphuth ' s chargers passed the 500 mark as the records show that Bob ' s mermen now have compiled 506 wins and only 12 de- feats under his coaching. This year added 14 wins, losses, and ties. Although the Yale team was never pushed to its maximum performance in any of its dual meets or the EISL championships many excellent times were recorded throughout the season in pointing to a Yale victory in the National Col- legiate Athletic Association (NCAA) meet. Following the Christmas holidays Blue mer- men iiad their first taste of quality as Tim Jecko, a member of the 1956 Olympic team, began the record assault by lowering the mark in the 200 butterfly to 2:10.8 in a 63-23 win over Cornell. Quickly following were Dave Armstrong ' s 22.-1 in the 50 and Ray Ellison ' s 4:43.1 in the 440 in clef eating Army 54-32. Meeting Amherst next the Yale sprinters indicated what was yet to come in future trials at freestyle relay swimming Reg Leeby bullerpes. Captain William Clinton Coach ROBKRT KlPHHTH iWanai ev KfNNI-TH Tl ' TTLI by posting a 3:20.6 for the lOO yard relay: just .1 of a second oft ' the then established record. The team was made up by Roger Anderson (50.0), Dan Cornwell (51.3), Rex Aubrey (50.2) and Tim Jecko (49.1). Ellison ' s 2:10.4 for the 220 aided in giving a 72-14 win. The following 58-28 victory over Navy brought to 500 the total number of wins that coach Bob Kiphuth has amassed while at Yale and NBC radio was on iiand for an interview over Monitor hile the next week Yale fans viewed Bob ' s pic- ture in Sports Illustrated. Swimming against Colgate; Bill Fleming ' s 2:28.9 in the 200 breast- stroke preceded the setting of a new NCAA record in the 400 relay as Cornwell (51.9). Armstrong (49.2), Anderson (48.7) and Aub- rey (49.7) combined to do 3:19.5 to wind up a 64-22 score. Meeting a good Dartmouth squad the Eli ' s emerged on top of a 52-34 score with good performances by backstrokers Jerry Dolbey, who led off the medley relay in 58.5, and Bill Earley who swam the 200 in 2:15.3. Defeating the University of Conn, saw the emergence of another Yale sprinter as Charlie Bronston won the 100 m 52.5. Princeton fell next 66-20 as Earley led otf the medley relay in 58.9. Joe Robinson did a 2:12.2. 220 and Captain Bill Clinton, last ear one of the nation ' s leading backstroke swimmers wlm switched to the but- terfly to aid the team did a 2:16.3 for 200 ' ards.

Joe Koletsky did 2:25.9 for the 200 breaststrokc and Roger Anderson, who had clocked 2:02.7 in a time trial earlier in the week swam easily to tie the Yale record of 2:05.5 in the 220 freestyle set by the late John Marshall. Winding up the dual meet season against Harvard saw good performances by backstroker Doibey, who navigated the 200 in 2:13.7 and flyer Jecko, who established a new NCAA mark in the 200 by posting the lime of 2:08.6, while Dan Cornwcli won the 220 in 2:11.2 while the loser ' s Clu ' u teau D)er won the 50 (22.2) and 100 (49.0) freestyle races. The EISL individual sw miming champion- ships in which no team score is kept showed an overwhelming exhibition of Yale ' s great team depth in winning 39 medals in 14 events by placing men in every event, winning 10 of them, placing four men in another and sweeping 1-2-3 in two others. In the preliminary trial heats there was evidence that Yale ' s better conditioned team was rounding into top shape as Eli swimmers won the close races, often coming from many yards back and foretold the superiority of Blue sw immers at the longer distances. The opening event of the meet was the 1500 meter freestyle, which was won easily by Ray Ellison. Swimming smoothly he outdistanced the held by 30 seconds to win in 19:26.5. Team- mate Joe Robinson finished a strong second, yards ahead of the third place finisher. In the 50 yard freestj ' le Charlie Bronston swam well and outclassed all but the winner Kieter, who set a new record, and D) ' er to place third. In the 100 yard freestyle sprinters Aubrey and Cornwell finished third and fourth once again behind Dyer and Kieter but as the distances be- gan to get a bit longer there was a decided change as Yale placed four men in the 220 free- style. Roger Anderson won it handily in 2:07 ana Cornwell came from behind to get second and Ellison v.as just edged for third place; in his fourth race of the day Bronston placed 6th. In the 440 yard freestyle sophomore Anderson once again showed the way to another Yale v in Suimmers break for the b.ickuroke. as he easily outdistanced the field to record the best time yet made by a Yale swimmer in this event so far this year in doing 4:39.9 without being pushed. Ellison had a firm hold on second place throughout the race and ended with a strong sprint finish as Robinson placed third well ahead of the rest of the field to form one of the 1-2-3 sweeps of the three day meet. In the two breaststroke events Yale placed three men in each. In the 100 yard event Joe Koletsky, Deed Hardin, and Bill Fleming placed third, fourth and sixth, the first two places going to Buzzard of Syracuse and Johnston of West Chester. In the 200 yard event, however, .1 the linn. C.it ' l.i 11 Cliiilo}! ill! jlone for a victory. the roles were reversed as Yale completed its one other 1-2-3 sweep successfully. All three of tiie breaststrokers did their best times of the year as Deed Hardin won the event in 2:2 .3, Joe Koletsky placed second in 2:25.8, and Bill Fleming finished a fast third in 2:28.1. In the backstroke events Jerry Dolbe) ' won the 100 yard event after placing second in the 200 while Bill Farley finished close thirds in both races; they had to contend with Bowdoin star Robert Plourde. In the 100 yard event a false start caused several of the swimmers to swim close to a full length of the pool before they could be recalled. The 200 yard butterfly saw the first of three meet records set by sophomore Tim Jecko. Swim- ming with long easy strokes the Yale ace estab- lished a new record of 2:11.8 to better the mark of 2:13.2 set in the meet last year. Captain Bill Clinton came from way behind to place second. 0 XT a body lengih behind with only fifty yards left the strong Yale senior pulled up to clinch his second place position in the last few feet. In the 100 yard event Jecko trailed until the last length before he pulled out to over a body length ' s lead at the finish over John Hammond of Harvard and John McGill of Syracuse; Clinton placed fifth. Jecko ' s time of 54.9 is just .6 tenths off the world standard in setting a new meet recoril. The old mark was set by Dave Hawkins of Harvard in 1954 and stood at 59.7. Once again in the individual medley Capt. Bill Clinton and Tim Jecko swam together and showed their versatility in the race that com- bines all four of the recognized strokes: fly backstroke, breaststroke, and freestyle, the one test of a well rounded swimmer. Jecko, winning his third title, set a third meet standard of 2:08.7 152 for the 200 yards while Clinton placed fourth. Not since John Marshall has a Yale sopinmiorc or any other swimmer compiled sucii perform- ances in an Eastern Championship. In diving Yale placed one man in each of the top six in both the low board (one meter) and the high board (three meter) as Doug Starkweather and Jack Erickson performed cll as Army ' s Frank Knight defended his three meter title successfully. In the 400 yard freestyle reLi)- a Yale team of Robinson, Hibbard, Cornwall, and Anderson set a new meet mark of . :25.2. In a close race the Yale team led all the way, closely pressed by a fast Harvard quartet. Having a slight lead, anchor man Anderson was rapidly pursued by a determined Doyer v ho closed fast but Anderson swam away from him in the last 1 5 yards to sew it up for the Elis. In the only other relay of the meet, the 400 yard medley relay, the roles of the Harvard and Yale teams were somewhat reversed in the early part of the race as the Harvard quartet got off to a fast start and led most of the way. How- ever the Crimson ' s hopes were short lived as Australian Olympic swimmer Rex Aubrey came from way behind to overtake the Harvard anchor man and clinch the Yale victory with a split of ts.s for his leg in one of the most exciting r.ucs of the meet and the one which wounii up the three day meet at Cambridge. Thus the Elis enter the National Collegiate •uui National AAU meets with a backlog of fine performances on which to base hopeful predic- tions. Next year the team will suffer the losses of seniors Captain Bill Clinton, Dave Armstrong, Rex Aubrey, Dan Cornwall, Ray Ellison, Wil- liam Fleming, and Joe Robinson, who have been the mainstays of the Yale team during their four years at Yale, consistantly placing in important races in the many championships in which they have entered. However w ith the fine juniors and sophomores now on the squad and reinforced by the upcoming freshman team we may look forward to continued successful seasons in the near future, as the usual program of body- building in the fall months followed by distance workouts and a full dual meet program to de- velop maximum performance by ail team mem- bers goes on.

THE 1956-1957 varsity liockcy team started practice in mid-October realizing that it faced one of the toughest sciiedules that a Yale team has played in recent years. The squad played twenty-five games, losing fifteen and winning ten, but there was some consolation in the fact that six of these losses were against mid-Western teams which rated among the top in the country. High points of tiie season were an upset of RPI, a six-game winning streak, and two valiant but futile contests against the league champion, Har- vard. Captain John Poinicr iittingi) ' started the sea- son as he pushed in the first goal, leading the team to an easy 8-5 victory over Nortiieastern. Williams likewise went down, 7-2, in a loosely played contest. But then a scrappy home Middle- l3ury six, after two scoreless periods, pushed through two goals within eighteen seconds to pin a 2-0 defeat on a confident Yale aggregation. The day after the Middlebury game, the Blue traveled to Troy, New York, to face a powerful RPI sextet which had earlier defeated Clarkson. Reversing its role of the previous day, the El is played the underdog and record spoiler as they upset RPI, 4-3. After Poinier had tied the score in the third period, first line center Jim Brady scored the winnmg goal with only two minutes gone in the sudden death overtime. The team returned to New England to lose two games, one to a strong Boston College team, 11-2, at Boston, and the other to a very po Herful Saint Lawrence, .S-2, on home ice. Outstanding in these games were goalies Jones and Tyson, who made 41 and 34 saves, respectively. During Christmas vacation Yale traveled to ihe midwest to face the University of Minne- sota, Colorado College, and Denver University for two games apiece. The Blue lost every game to these three hocKey powers, 5-2 and I-O to Minnesota, 10-0 and 17-3 to Colorado, and 7-3 and 14-1 to Denver. The one brigiit spot of the trip was the goal tending culminating in th ; close 1-0 loss to Minnesota. In that game goalie Mort Shapiro, playing in his home town, made 44 saves as the spirited Elis came miraculously close to upsetting the highly touted Gophers. The western trip, though disappointing, proved valuable experience when the team returned to the east. In the first game back home, NCAA Eastern representative, Clarkson, kept Yale on its winless streak. For two periods the contest was very close, but in the third period All-American Eddie Rowe found the target, scoring three of iiis four goals and pacing the predominantly Cana- dian team to a decisive victory. A hustling Dart- mouth team then handed the Bulldogs its first Ivy League and tenth consecutive loss, 8-1. In losing a close 2-1 game to a highly regarded Boston University team, the Elis finally showed the results of their development. Against Ivy League spoiler Providence College the sextet, paced by Bullwinkel ' s hat trick, tasted victory again and began a six-game winning streak with a 6-2 victory. Brown then fell a 6-1 victim to a surging, smooth functioning Yale six. Evidence of Yale ' s improvement was the return 3-2 re- 154 Above: ;lli.iiii ' gi jl;e ni(imciitjril) li.ilts .: Bliu .ill.iiL. venge victory over Dartmoutli. Brady ' s goal with a little more than a minute left knocked the Green out of a first place tie ith Harvard. Yak- then proceeded to upend perennially tough Princeton on the Tiger ' s home ice as Mell scored the winning goal in the last minute. In a slop- pily played game in New Haven the Elis again defeated Brown, 9-6, in an all offense contest. A four goal Yale explosion in the final ten min- utes gave the Bulldogs the victory. The following Saturday a capacity crowd in the New Haven Arena saw Yale, led by Tom Goodale ' s three goals and Harvey Mell ' s two, turn back Prince- ton ' s bid for her first Ivy League victory. The skaters attacked with a first period fi c goal bar- rage — three within 39 seconds of the eighteenth minute — and then coasted the rest of the game to an easy 7-2 victory and first place in the Ivy hln for the puck .it mid-ice. 155 League. A six-game winning streak came to an abrupt halt as Army tamed the Bulldogs, 7-2. Bewildered by the oversized West Point rink and Army ' s four-man attack, the Elis were never in the game. The team tiien went to Boston to encounter one of the strongest Harvard teams in many years. Yale played well but could not cope with the Crimson, seeking revenge for last year ' s upset, despite goalie Jones ' 55 saves. A crowd of 10,000 saw Hamden ' s Bob McVey break up a 2-2 tie midway through the third period and lead his team to a 4-2 win. Penalties hurt the Elis as three of the four Harvard goals came with a Yale man in the box. Yale prepared for a second Harvard contest with an easy 8-2 victory over an undermanned American International Col- lege. The Bulldogs started slowly but showed the offensive potential with a five goal attack in the final seven minutes. The Crimson arrived in New Haven realizing that a loss to Yale would mean a loss of a NCAA bid. Playing before a standing room only Prom weekend crowd, the Bulldogs delivered an outstanding performance but could not match the superior skating and stickwork of the visitors. Once again McVey led the league champions, scoring twice in a contest that was much closer than the 4-0 score indicates. B.ut Roti—Murnch (Co.ich). Hewitt. Crumpac MMle R vir— Jones. Pollet.

SI Despite tiic 10-15 final record the season was not wholly disappointing when it is considered that without the six Western games the team would have had a winning record. The team was ably led by Captain John Poinier who, along with Jay Kahle, had competed in over sixty varsity games at Yale with superlative records at de- fense. Seniors Jim Brady, Pierre Bourquin, Curt Ryan, George Bullwinkel as linemen; Jim Van Alen at defense; and goal tenders Mort Shapiro and John Tyson also added greatly in making Yale a respected hockey team despite the season ' s record. Each of these nine men had aided, at one time or another in their varsity career, in upset- ting such powerful teams as Harvard and RPI. The season ended with several encouraging notes. The construction of the David S. Ingalls Rink, which should be completed in time for next year ' s season, should prove to be a great incentive to the team. The development of re- turning lettermen such as Jerry Jones, who has already proved to be one of the outstanding goal tenders in the East, high scoring Harvey Mell, Captain-elect Dick Starrett, fast-skating Tom Goodale and others — Ted Ward, Bill FitzGerald, Hoyt Ammidon, and Dave McNamara — give great promise to Murray Murdocii ' s twentieth year of coacliing. ker.

The malletmen started the season with a 1 i-l 1 victory over a Southbury team on December Hth. One of the most thrilling games was the Yale- Miami 12-12 deadlock that rema ' ned undecided even after an extra overtime period. The first loss of the season saw substitutes Peter Carleton, Perry Welcii, and regular Frolic Weymouth fight valiantly before going down, 14-8, against a powerful Squadron A trio, while iiighly rated Herb Pennell scored nine goals for the winners. Another Blue defeat came against Cornell, as the El is were unable to stop outstanding Peter Baldwin, who led the Ithacans to a 15-10 deci- sion. This upset did not prevent the team from coming back and trouncing Cornell, 9-4, in the finals of the Sherman tournament. This victory Capla i MiCHAHI.

The loss of Mike Poutiatine and Peter Jackson will be deeply felt next year, but a team centered around veteran Frolic Weymouth and capable substitutes such as Bark Hikox, Perry Welch, and Peter Carleton is hopeful of retaining viith honor the successful record of this year ' s team. 158 I!

THE 1956-57 varsity squasli season saw an amazingly well-rounded team compile a 13-1 record and come within one game of gaining the intercollegiate championship. Opening with four easy wins over Amherst, Fordham, Cornell, and Adelphi, Coach John Skillma n began driving for the championship. The fifth game, played at Navy, was all-important, for Navy was the prime contender for the title. The team was anxious to avenge the previous year ' s 8-1 drubbing by the Middies. This they did, 5-4, with number nine man. Ash Eldredge, winning by 1 point in the deciding match game. The Blue proceeded to down Pennsylvania and Wesleyan easily; Army fell 6-3. After beat- ing Trinity in an away game, the team played a vastly improved Dartmouth squad and triumphed, 8-1. WiUiams, a perennially strong team, fell to the Blue, 7-2. Going into the Princeton game, there v ere various apprehensions about the strength of the Tiger, who iiad lost only one game and that to Navy. The Blue ' s winning score of 8-1 belied the difficulty of the matches, as two games were won by one point and five matches went to five games. Cdfitaiii Edward Meyer, III Coach John Skillman Miiiiager David H. Rlad MIT proved easy, and the stage was set for the Harvard game. Although Yale had a spotless record and a loss to Harvard would liave placed the Elis in a tie with Navy, the team was aware of the fact tliat the championship would be decided on comparative scores, a loss to Harvard also losing the championship. Only Oettinger, Jones, and Eldredge came through with v ins as the team saw the intercollegiate crown sli|i through their fingers, 3-6. After the final match Captain Ed Meyer, Bill Barhite, Ron Ragen, and Harvey Sloanc repre- sented Yale at the intercollegiate tournament, Sloane advancing to the quarter-finals before be- ing defeated.

Other members of the team, managed by David Read, included sophomores Maite Jones and Dan Morgan. 159 Disappointing Season for Fencers cl Roil- — Polily, Martin, Eaton, Hay, Powell. Firsr Rfiti — Sheinbaum (Manager), Norton, I.iln (Captain), Gucrin.i;, Block, Cirasson (Coach). UNDER the (..ipable Icidcrship of Captain Ralph Lilorc, the Yale varsity fencers fouglit their way to a record of 5 wins and 4 losses. Starting the season with a rout of Brad- ford Durfee Tech by a score of 25-5, tiie Elis became overconfident and, as a result, a strong NYU overwhelmed the team, 12-9, in New York. In the saber class, Ralpii Lilore, Phil Block, Erling Onsager, and Jeff McKenzie won a 5-4 advantage over the Violets, Seeking revenge, the Blue defeated CCNY, 18-6, for a surprisingly easy victory. Once again Lilore and Block dis- played their superior skill as did Norton, Goer- ing, and Lapiiam. Rolling stronger, the Bulldog swordsmen upset a very powerful Penn team, 16-11. Yale ' s captain along with Block won 3 saber matches for a 7-2 margin. In the epee division, Lapham and Powell won 2 each. Excellent fencing on the part of Norton and Goering brought another victory against Rutgers. Unfortunately, Tony Lapham was forced to retire at this time due to an attack of appendicitis. The next Saturday saw the Blues bow to a capable Cornell team, 16-11, for their first league defeat. Ed Hay, John Morton and Captain Coach Alanager Ralph T. Lilore Albert Grasson Rk;hari) L. Sheinbaum Bob Goering outfenced the Red in two bouts for the only class win, as Cornell shone in the saber events. Somewhat discouraged, Yale lost to Co- lumbia by a score of 17-10. Aided by the brilliant fencing of the sophomore Pete Pohly, the Bull- dogs won a tight match on March 2 against Princeton, 15-12. Pohly defeated the top Tiger opponent and then proceeded to drub his two other rivals. Sparked by this display, Block and Norton both defeated their three opponents. For the last game of the season, the Elis trav- eled to Cambridge only to be overwhelmed by a swift-stepping and tricky Harvard, 20-7. Altiiough the Eli fencers were favored over the Crimson, they were helpless, losing every saber bout and winning only four individual matches outside of three victories in the epee division. Although the season must be termed only aver- age, there were many instances of brilliant in- dividual play. ' ' .•i 160 Nine Cops Eastern Championships WINNING both tlic Big Three and Eastern Intercollegiate Baseball League Champion- ships for the second consecutive year, the baseball team upheld Yale ' s reputation as a power in that sport. Though handicapped by the graduation of five regulars of the preceding year, the team de- veloped rapidly and by the opening league game was in top form. At the beginning of the season there was a spirit of optimism about the squad due to the return of the two ace pitchers. Captain Ken MacKenzie and Ray Carlsen. Rounding out the pitching staff were returnees Earlc Taylor, Stu Miller, and Dave Ready, plus Sophomores Dick Smith, Sam Allen, and Bill Gillespie. Coach Ethan Allen e.xperimented continually with his lineup trying to find a winning combination, and by mid-season he had found it. Len Hassler, a Junior, led ofif and played second base. Don Pruett, a converted catcher, was in right field, while Jim and Tim Brown and Dusty Clay alter- nated in left. Ray Lamontagne batted cleanup and held down center field. At first was Dave Ready, a part-time pitcher. Ron Cheney moved up from the Freshman squad to take over at shortstop. Five men. Art Bober, Mark Blood, George Vojta, Tim Brown, and pitcher Ray Carlsen battled for the third base position. Cdpla ' iH Codch Aland i;er KiNNiTii H. Ma(,Kkn .ii; Ethan Allen Ja(,k McGrrgcjr Over spring vacation the team made its annual invasion of the South. It opened the season on March 23 at Orlando, Florida, against Pinecastle Air Force Base. Most of the team saw action in the game, as the Elis coasted to an 11-2 victory. Jim Brown led the attack with three hits, while Smith was credited with the victory. The team then moved on to Rollins College in Winter Park, Florida, w here they were to remain for over a week. On Marcii 24, Ohio State was the opposition and handed the Elis their first loss. Startmg pitcher Taylor yielded four runs before leaving in the sixth. The Buckeyes picked up one more run to win, V2. The next game saw the Elis gain revenge against this same Ohio State team. Aided by a five-run fourth inning, Yale withstood a late Buckeye rally to win, 9-8. The starting pitcher. Miller, picked up the win. After a day ' s rest the Bulldogs met Rollins with MacKenzie on the mound. Behind going into the fifth, Yale rallied for five runs. Rollins Ytile takes the field a, ,iiinl Sji ) 161 tfWttlilHiMtt countered with three more in the bottom of the inning, but the Elis broke the tie to win their second 9-8 victory in a row. Ready gained the victory in relief, while Randy Heimer was the hitting star with two home runs. Then on a disastrous March 28, Alabama crushed the Elis under an 18-hit attack, 15-2. However, the Yale team showed steady improve- ment in a three game series with the Crimson Tide, losing only 5-2 in the second game and finally getting revenge with a 7-0 shutout in the finale. Miller went the distance, effectively scat- tering Alabama ' s seven hits. Next, Yale met Rollins for the second time. Rollins held the Elis to one unearned run to take the game, 4-1. The same team was the opponent in the final game at Winter Park. Despite a game- tying, ninth inning homer by Carlsen, playing second base, Yale lost, 4-3, when Rollins pushed across a run in her half of the ninth. On April 2, Yale moved to Williamsburg, Virginia, to play William and Mary College. Starting pitcher Carlsen was forced to retire in the first inning with a hurt arm. Gillespie re- lieved and went the rest of the way to gain a Above: One of eleven runs uguinst Njvy. Middle: Eli tees off against Middle offering. Below: Phnin finish at first. 9-2 victory. Pructt starred at the plate with three liits in four times at bat. Tlie final game of the Southern tour was against Lafayette College in Easton, Pennsylvania, where Yale suffered a 3-0 setback. Pruett again led the Eli batting attack, while Miller and Mac- Kenzic effectively limited the opposition to four hits. On April 10, the Elis returned to the friendly confines of Yale Field to face a not so friendly New York University team. The visitors, aided by five Yale errors and the hitting of their star center fielder George Gondola, coasted to a 12-1 victory. The next day Yale opened the defense of its EIBL championship, playing the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia. Ken MacKenzie went the distance to gain his first win of the season in a close 7-6 battle. In the second league game the Elis coasted to a 9-2 victory over Brown behind Ray Carlsens pitching. Lamontagne provided the big blow of the game with a two-run homer in the third, but Ready was more consistent with three hits in three times at bat. Yale ' s winning ways were halted by 162 Amherst, however, in the next game. The fnial score was 6-3. In its third EIBL game of the year, Yak- journeyed to New York City to meet Columbia. Going into the sixth inning the Elis held a 3-0 lead. In that inning they smashed out seven more runs to clinch the game. Columbia could only manage three runs in the eighth, leaving tiie final score 10-3. Unable to get any kind of win- ning streak going, Yale could do nothing against Fordham and lost, 6-0. The Dartmouth game was one of the most ex- citing of the season. The game went scoreless through eight innings of play. In the top of the ninth Carlsen retired the side in order. Then in the last of the ninth with one man out, Pruett singled. Mil Ryan went in as a pinch runner. Jim Brown singled and held on at second. In another strategy move. Jack Logan was sent in to run for Brown. Lamontagne then flied deep to left, sending Ryan to third and Logan to seconJ. With two out and runners on second and third, Ready came to bat. He hit a ground ball to the first baseman deep behind the bag, who instead of throwing to the pitcher who was covering Above: Clusc. bin iiu ceegAv. Bl-Iow: C.iiUeii lijupti D.irtmoulb h.iller. first, elected to try for the put-out himself. Ready won the dramatic race to the bag, and Ryan scored from third giving the Elis a 1-0 victory. In the next game, a free-scoring battle with Wesleyan, Yale emerged with an 8-6 win. Seek- ing their fifth league victory in as many starts, Yale then played host to Cornell. The game was a tight pitcher ' s duel between MacKenzie and Cornell ' s Bill DeGraffe. The Elis picked up single runs in the fourth, fifth, and seventh innings for a 3-2 victory with MacKenzie taking the win. The outstanding play of the game occurred in the fourth inning, when Jim Brown fell into the stands after making a sensational catch to rob Cornell ' s catcher Simek of a home run. The following afternoon Navy invaded New- Haven. Carlsen pitched an excellent game, allow- ing only two runs, while his teammates collected 1 1 for a convincing victory. The team then tra - eled to West Point to meet a strong Army nine in the rain. Yale never could get started and lost 9-2 for its first EIBL defeat in two years. UConn, the next opponent, gained a 5-1 victory over Yale, limiting the Elis to one hit. ■I 163 .kl Back Run — Wnukv (Ii.iiiki). Conway. Graccy, Allen. Bober. T.

This was followed by a 5-3 defeat at the hands of Springfield. Things looked dismal indeed, but against Harvard the team seemed to come to life. Led by Hassler ' s three hits the Elis won, 5-3. This victory gave Yale an EIBL record of seven wins and two losses. The final game before exams was played on May 1 5 against Colgate. At the end of regular season play Princeton and Yale were tied for the EIBL championship with identical 7-2 records. It was arranged that one of the Big Three games should be the play- off game. This game was played in New Haven on June 2. The weather was typically rainy, but the game was played despite this. MacKenzie went to the hill for Yale, opposed by Princeton ' s Gibson. At the end of live innings the score was tied, 2-2. Neither team could score after this for ten tense innings. Then, in the last of the six- teenth with the bases loaded and two out, Colin Gracey singled off reliever Ford, and Bober came home with the winning run. This gave Yale the Eastern Intercollegiate Baseball Championship. Williams provided the next opposition, losing to the Bulldogs, 4-3, behind Taylor. Following this the Elis dropped a 4-3 decision to Holy Cross. On June 9, Yale journeyed to Princeton. Mac- Kenzie pitched a two hitter, Yale winning, 6-1. This was followed by a 6-4 loss to Harvard in a game held to seven innings by rain. Gillespie then notched a 7-2 victory against Hamilton Standard. Captain MacKenzie went to the hill for the last game of the season against Harvard. He won 10-0 for the final victory of his Yale career. At the end of the successful season, Don Pruett, the team ' s leading hitter, was chosen the most valuable player, and Len Hassler was elected captain of the 1957 squad. When the Yale nine turns out for practice this spring, they will be pointing towards their third straight EIBL cham- pionship. However, the Yale team has been weakened by graduation losses. Not around the diamond this year are outfielders Don Pruett, Jack Logan, and Jim Brown. Dave Ready, alternating between the mound and first base, catcher Lou D ' Avanzo, along with pitchers Ken MacKenzie and Earle Taylor have terminated their Yale careers. To bolster this year ' s team, Yale has nine re- turning lettermen; outfielders Ray Lamontagnc and Tim Brown; infielders Ron Cheney, Len Hassler, Art Bober, and Bill Colville; pitchers Ray Carlsen and Stu Miller; and catcher Colin Gracey. 164 Captain Thomas J. (Charlton Coach Jamhs Rathschmidt ALn di ii Roger Bullard Olympic Triumph Tops C e v Season V T T ' E ' RE the tougliest crew ever put together, VV and we beat the finest. To some Captain Tom Charlton ' s comment after tlie race may have seemed boastful, but no one has summed it all up more crisply. The ultimate goal — an Olympii Gold Medal signifying world supremacy — was finally realized. But as everyone knows, the end does not exist without means, and each rung in the ladder to success was a barrier in itself. In the first races over the Henley distance at Derby on April 21, Boston University was unable to provide any real test or opposition with the varsity winning by four lengths. A week later, on the Schuylkill River, Yale had a better chance to show its true potentialities against Penn, last year ' s victor in the Grand Challenge Cup at Hen- ley, England, and Columbia. However, Yale started low and settled immediately at 30. finish- ing in 7:17:6 to Penn ' s 7:28. This surprising and easy victory gave Yale a reputation which was confirmed in the Carnegie Cup races at Derby on May 6. Cornell came out of the still-frozen north with its great reputation of a sweep at last year ' s IRA regatta at Syracuse and a victory this spring over Navy at a mile. Princeton had suddenly become Jack-the-Giant Killer with a surprising victory over the highly- touted Navy Admirals (the 1952 Olympic Crew who were back in training), as well as over Navy, Penn, and Columbia. Yale went oflf fast and settled very well at 30, and together with Cornell, moved very neatly in the heavy chop, but Princeton found it hard go- mg and was two lengths hatk at the mile. At the turn into the final half-mile, Cornell took ad- vantage of the favoring bend and raised the rat- ing to 31, thereby winning back some of Yale ' s lead. The two went through the last flags with both crews at 32 and Yale still in front by at least a half length. Thus Yale came to the E. A. R. C. sprint cham- pionships on May 12, seeded as favorite over Cornell, Princeton, and Harvard, which had just beaten Navy, Penn, and the Admirals. The races were again held at Washington, D. C, on the course off Hains Point where the exposed condi- tions are always feared by the coaches, even though a six-boat final has its attraction. After the start of the Varsity race, four crews — Navy, Yale, Cornell, and Princeton — moved quickly out in front. Cornell went out to a lead of almost half a length between the half and three-quarter mile flags. Then Yale made its bid, worked the rating up to 34, and went into a slight lead with a quarter to go. Cornell had to go up to 34 to stay in the race, and with an eighth of a mile left both crews were at 36, with Yale still a few feet out. Then at some point in the last ten strokes, with both crews now at 38, somebody stole a glance out of the Yale boat at their rivals a few feet away, his release was sloppy, and the result- ' -I f SmT MlM irrt kr . 165 J ' _ . ' •ig ' Poitrail of ticlory. ing puddle threw somebody else into a half crab, the boat lurched, and Cornell went ahead to win by three feet or four-tenths of a second! Following a short break for final examinations, the center of rowing activities shifted to Gales Ferry where Yale maintains a rowing camp on the banks of the Thames River, the home of the Yale-Harvard Boat Race. With the narrow de- feat at the E. A. R. C. Regatta fresh in mind, the work was determined. So the varsities came on to the stake boats in Bartlett ' s Cove, a re- vamped Harvard boat with stroke and seven pro- moted out of the JVs, an untried crew faced with the challenge of breaking a string of Yale vic- tories and a Yale varsity which had already shown itself to be one of the best crews in the East and possibly the entire country. Harvard, in the east lane, went off at 40, as did Yale. Both crews settled immediately — Harvard at 31, and Yale at 30. The latter ' s superiority became evi- dent immediately. They had a canvas at the quar- ter, a length at the half-mile, and kept adding almost a length every half-mile all the way down the course. Soon Yale dropped the rating to 29, content to power the boat along with obvious ease and deceptive comfort. Harvard stayed at 31 for the first two miles. Superbly in command. Yak- went above 30 only in the last half-mile, to win by 22 seconds, or almost six lengths, in 19:26, barely five seconds off the downstream record. Tliis last is a truly remarkable achievement, for conditions were good but not fast. If at all pressed in the third mile, the 1956 varsit)- undoubtedly could have broken the record. With the varsity ' s confidence somewhat re- stored by this performance the decision to enter the Olympic Trials at Syracuse was obvious. Two weeks remained to change the low stroking Yale long distance crew to a high stroking sprint crew. On the first day of racing Yale scored an easy win over Wisconsin, Detroit Boat Club, and Stanford. In the other heat Cornell was pressed, but beat the Na 7 Admirals and Washington. Bad weather delayed the finals for one day and when the crews lined up at last there was still a stiff headwind kicking up some chop. Yale was slow off the line and at the end of five hundred meters found itself a canvas off the pace with Cornell, the Admirals, and Washington fighting for the lead and Wisconsin fading a half length back. Rowing not a sprinting stroke, but a longer, more powerful 33, the Yale crew moved up among the leaders as the race passed the one thousand meter mark. Still rowing lower than the 34-36 of the competition the Yale boat moved consistently ahead, sprinted to 36 in the last four hundred meters to become national champion in 6:33.5. The crew gathered again in late August at Gales Ferry to begin the drive for an Olympic Title. When classes began, activities shifted to New Haven and the task of training and studying simultaneously had its effects. Progress seemed slow but the final time trial of 5:53 at Derby convinced everyone that the Yale crew was still Charlton (left) acctpi Bljihi 167 fast. With the preparation over, the journey to Australia began. Travel time took a valuable week with almost no exercise, and arrival at the rowing camp site found a weary U. S. representative. With a week there to reach a new peak training went well, and the Yale eight was confident when the races began on Friday, November 23, on Lake Wendouree, some 70 miles north of Melbourne. In the Olympics there is no seeding of the crews. So the first two boats in each of the three heats go straight to the semi-finals, with the defeated crews racing again for the last two places in the semi-finals. In Yale ' s heat two of the favorites, Australia and Canada, went out to a length lead by the iialf-way mark. Yale, which had a poor start and settled badly, moved up on them, but Australia sprinted home to beat Canada and Yale. To damn the Yale men as overconfident, as many headline writers proceeded to do, was an unfounded insult to their intelligence. By the luck of the draw Yale met what were felt to be ( and proved to be) the fastest crews in the Olym- pics. Yale ' s lack of racing over the last three months told against them. They let their rivals get too far out ahead, but even then Yale ' s third place time (6:09.1) would have s()n the second heat. However much the experts may have written them off at this point, the Yale crew and its coach never lost confidence in tiiemselves. Saturday proved too rough for rowing, but Yale roared back in the repechage heat on Sunday to beat Italy by over two lengths against a tough head wind. Monday ' s semi-final found Yale rowing against Australia, Russia, and Japan, who had all had two days ' lay-off. Yale and Australia quickly went into the lead and rowed even, at 32 for 1000 meters. Yale then went to 34 and took a canvas. Australia went higher and pulled level with 100 meters to go. Yale sprinted to win by a canvas, with Russia over five lengths back. So Australia and Yale went through to Tues- day ' s finals, where they were joined by Canada and Sweden. The latter was never in the race, for the others went off too fast and fought for the lead immediately. Yale was at 32, Australia at 34, with Canada at 36, where they always rowed. Over the first 1000 meters Canada and Australia alternately led, with Yale never more than a canvas behind. Then at 1200 meters Morey made his bid. The stroke went up to 35-36, and he took the lead by half a length over Australia. At 1500 meters, Canada, already rowing over 35, challenged, but Yale took the stroke up to 38 and then 40, to fight them off and win by half a length, in 6:35.2, to Canada ' s 6:37.1, and Aus- tralia ' s 6:39.2, almost a length behind. Clearly all three crews were of championship caliber, but Yale was just enough more so, with just that extra bit of ct)nfidence, courage, and guts to bounce back from tiie original defeat, row one more race than its rivals, and then finally to come up with a finishing sprint which was too mudi for the opposition.

He brought with him the undefeated eight he had coached to the previous season ' s Eastern Amateur Rowing Colleges ' Freshman championship. But to continue that spotless rec- ord or improve upon the mediocre one the varsity had compiled the year before required much disciplined effort. Tlie crew was fortunate to have rowing again after a year ' s absence John Fell who was chosen captain. The eights started their season following spring vacation, with both the varsity and junior varsity boats running away from the high stroking Kent School crews. Dartmouth was the next guest at the opening of the Henley distance race season, and it was ' Wile all the way to record its second triumph. Yale lost to Pennsylvania in the Blackwell Cup race and later placed third to Princeton and Harvard in the Goldthwaite Cup at Princeton. In the season ' s final race, the E.A.R.C. ' s, the J. ' V. ' s rowed third while the varsity placed fourth behind Princeton, Harvard, and Cornell.

THE 195 5-1956 Yale tennis team w.is both spiritually and physically hurt by the loss of its captain, Bill Cranston, who was severely in- jured in an automobile accident. Eric Moore was elected captain in Cranston ' s place, and played number one on the team. He was followed by Ed Meyer, Sam Schoonmaker, Newell Augur, Rcid Williamson, and John Appel in that order. John Somerville and Conrad Fisher also received letters. The team ' s first official engagement came in March when ten players went to Coral Gables, I ' kjfida, for a two week period of pre-season practice. Returning to New Haven in April, Yale lost only three of twelve matches. One of the losses was to an undefeated University of Miami team, ranked first nationally. The two other losses, unfortunately, came at the hands of Prince- ton and Harvard. Otherwise, the team easily over- came such traditional opponents as Cornell, Army, Amherst, and Dartmouth. Schoonmaker lost only one match and Meyer and Augur only two in the course of the season. , 170 Golf Squad Sweeps Eastern Honors THE climax of tlie 1955-1956 Yale goU season came during the weekend of May 12-14, at Cornell, for here the Yale varsity com- pleted an unprecedented sweep of honors in the Eastern Intercollegiate Golf Association Tourna- ment. Seeded fourth before the play began, the team went on to win the championship for the fourth consecutive year. In addition, Captain Ned Vare was medalist and Pete Nisselson became the individual E.I.G.A. champion. Before the season began. Coach Al Wilson was ready to start rebuilding, the 195 5 graduation having depleted the golf ranks. Gone were the stars of the past three championship years. Wil- son had only Captain Vare, Nisselson, and Dave Clovis as experienced veterans. To tliese were added Juniors, Tony DeLude and Ink Clark, and Sophomores Franz Dolp and Tony McCul- lough. As a result, the Yale team compiled a seven and two record, losing only to Williams and Princeton in close matches. Otherwise, the power- ful linksters downed such formidable opponents as Harvard, Amherst, and Holy Cross.

Rae THE 1956 Yale lacrosse team will be remem- bered by everyone for three reasons. First of all, the Bulldogs won the first Ivy League cham- pionship by defeating every other team in this group. Second, the defense, rated tops in the country, was the best we have seen in many years. Last but not least, this was the first Yale lacrosse team to conquer perennially powerful Princeton m the last twenty-three years of competition. The defeats were few, but the Elis had to •iccept one on their very first outing. Traveling south, the Blue encountered a good Virginia team and lost by two goals. The team moved on to Baltimore, the center of the lacrosse world, to battle Johns Hopkins before a large crov d at Homewood Stadium. Yale gained a great deal of respect in lacrosse circles by defeating the strong home team for the second time in two cars with hard play and excellent defensive ork hy Terry Malloy, Bill Lovejoy, Jack Pendergast, ind goalie Bob Neff. On the following Saturday the team rocked Penn and rolled to a 17-0 victory in the opening Left: Ell uicli, eludes deUnder. Biick R jti — King. Bouscaren, Coons, Hoare, Pendergast, NefF.

The good teamwork continued as Yale trounced Duke 12-2, with Joe Mesics leading the attack. The Army game proved to be the most heart- breaking contest of the year when Army scored in the final seconds to edge the Elis, 5-4. Against Hofstra the team achieved its peak efficiency as seven of Yale ' s eight goals were assisted. Next, Dartmouth came down from Hanover with high hopes of doing better than the close contest played up in New Hampshire the previous sea- son, but the Green absorbed a resounding 14-5 defeat, as Hugh Young scored four goals and Charlie Cushman two. Cornell, in losing 9-6, came as close to Yale as any other hy opponent did, while in the following encounter Yale ' s de- fense was strong enough to hold Williams to one goal, winning, 6-1. The Princeton victory was the high point of the season. Princeton scored first. Yale tied it up in the first quarter and was never headed after John Tyson scored in the first minute of the second quarter. The Blue kept one goal ahead on scores by Jim King and Young. In the fourth period Cushman added one more, and Carl Hotf- man put Yale well out of reach on a sensational solo dodge around the Tiger goal. In Troy the next week the Engineers of RPI threw up a de- fense that held Yale to a meager four goals, defeating the Elis, 6-4. Yale ended the season with a convincing win over Harvard. In this game Young scored six goals to finish first in Ivy League scoring. The honors were passed out bountifully as Jack Pendergast was named to the ail-American squad. Bill Lovejoy won a second team berth, while Yale ' s rugged first mid-field of Tom Brow n, Hugh Young, and Charlie Cushman, along with defenseman Terry Malloy, gained honorable men- tion. En jide. Disappointing Record For Trackmen ' i Captain John B. Daniels Coach Robert Giegengack Manager Robert Kleiger EVERY year, with the arrival of summer, a very important event in the Hves of about 1000 Yale men takes place on the Old Campus. It is only in the fall that the rest of the shident body notices that many familiar faces have dis- appeared due to graduation in June. But in many years this phenomenon means a heavy loss to the Yale teams which organize in the fall, and this applies especially to the 1955-56 Yale track team. This team faced a very difficult season because practically all of the varsity competitors in the weight, shot put, pole vault and broad jump events had left Yale, and many a gap had to be filled by inexperienced sophomores. The trackmen began their season with a con- vincing victory over Brown and Penn in a tri- angular meet in Coxe Cage. The Big Blue took 10 out of 13 events winning both the one mile and two mile relays, the two mile run and the 600 and 1000 yard runs. Yale ' s fieldmen swept all except one of the field events. The final score was Yale 771 2, Penn 46l 2 and Brown 13. The Big Three Championship was decided two weeks later when Yale placed second to Harvard. The defeat by Harvard was due to a lack of depth in the individual events since Yale took five events to Harvard ' s four. The two mile relay team turned in the very good time of 7:59.7, while Ev Hedeen, Pete Bensinger, and Dick Winterbauer likewise turned in excellent winning performances. The score was Harvard 58, Yale 47-17 30, and Princeton 31-13 30. In the Indoor Intercollegiate Championships in Madison Square Garden, Yale placed eigiith in a field of 54. The scoring for Yale was done by Bob Skerritt, who placed fifth in the 600 yard run, Bensinger, who tied for third in tiie broad jump, and Winterbauer, who placed second in the shot put. The following week end Yale traveled to ' iiiltib.iiici dcmonstritlfi cLiisic farm in i2 ' j ' ■ ' ■ ' tgiVii l Ptincelon. y reliable Bensinger and Wintcrbauer accounted for v ins in their respective events. In the mile relay, the Yale team of Bob Scobey, Ed Holahan, Karl Van Horn, and Bob Kirschner turned in the best indoor time of 3:22.0. These good performances seemeil to point to- ward a successful finish of the indoor season in New Haven. The final meet seemed to justify this hope, for the score was close throughout the meet as Yale gave favored Cornell a good battle. However, in the mile relay, the Big Red edged out Yale at the finisli line, acquiring the deciding points. Hedeen ran the best time of the indoor season in the mile by beating Midler of Cornell At he pedk of succes. Ithaca, N. Y., for the other major championship — the Heptagonals. Yale made a rather disap- pointing showing, tying Navy for fifth place. The bright spots in this meet were the victories of Bensinger in the broad jump with a leap of 23 ' 2% and Winterbauer in the shot put with a distance of 51 ' IV2 ' defeating his persistent rival Art Siler of Harvard. The next meet at Coxe Cage with favored Dartmouth brought a decisive victory for the Elis. The clean sweep that Bill Andrews, John Halpern, and John Pendexter provided in the 60 yard dash in :06.4 got the meet off to a good start for the Blue. Yale also took the one and two mile relays, first and second places in the 600 and 1000 yard runs and the high jump while Coming out oj the blocks. McGlll pill I lip inure ).irdjge. in 4:20.9. Winterbauer, Jack Bogan, and the two-mile relay team also accounted for wins. The most points for Yale were scored in the pole vault when Walt McConnell, Frank Taylor, and Jim Beckman made a clean sweep with a winning height of 12 ' 6 . Eddie Robinson tied for first in the high jump at 6 ' 1% - During spring vacation the Yale track team traveled to Quantico, Virginia. Because this was an Olympic year, the Quantico Marines had invited all colleges for practice and competition at its base. It was here that the team had an opportunity 175 to test itself against tiie best collegiate teams in the country and improve itself for the coming outdoor season. Yale showed its potential by de- feating the Quantico Marines by a score of 721 2 671 2 in a dual meet. With the return of the team to New Haven, competition started with full force. Yale traveled to Randall ' s Island, N. Y., to compete in the Queens-Iona Relays. Yale showed its sprinting strength by winning the 440, 880, and mile re- lays. Winterbauer in the discus and Beckman in the pole vault accounted for more first places. Howev er, in the final team scoring, Yale placed second to a very strong and well-balanced Man- hattan squad. It seemed that Yale was pursued by the same hard luck in the meet against Army at West Point as it had been in the indoor meet against Cornell. The final score showed Army with 73 points to Yale ' s 67. Yale won most of the running events but the total amount in these was not enough to check Army ' s superiority in the field events. Next week end Yale played host to Princeton at DeWitt Cuyler Field. The meet was a clear- cut victory, Yale taking 10 out of 16 first places winning, 781 2-611 2. Led by Winterbauer, Yale swept the discus. Bill Cross and Bill Stack placing second and third respectively. Robinson, Gene Coker, and Beckman, also scored first places in the field events while Bogan, Andrews, Jeff Loucks, Halpern, and tlie one mile relay team captured five precious points each in the running events. It was in this meet that Winterbauer established the best performances in both the discus and the shot put, winning the former with a distance of 153 ' 8I 2 and the latter with 52 ' y . Yale ' s next competition took place again at West Point which was the scene of the Hep- tagonal Championships. Against strong rivalry the team was able to place third to Harvard and Cornell, scoring one first and five seconds. Rob- inson became Heptagonal Champion in the high jump by winning this event with a height of 6 ' 3% , while Coker in the javelin established the best distance of the season with a throw of 191 ' 41 2 . In a dual meet at Cambridge the following week end. Harvard, especially strong this year subdued Yale, 77-63. Yale more than Harvard was severely handicapped by the strongly pre- vailing winds which showed up in the relatively slow times. This last dual meet of the season saw Yale scoring in their traditionally strong events, such as the high jump, shot put, javelin, 100 yard dash, and one mile relay. Everett Hedeen, a native of Kansas City, has been elected captain in a year which will realize the return of a strong Harvard team as our part- ner in the historic meeting with Oxford and Cambridge in June 1957. w Back Roil ' — Bro[iilc-y, Ry.in, Sch.iller, HeJi.tn.

VARSITY RIFLE TEAM WINNING the first ottiically recognized I y League rifle championship was the highlight of the 1956-57 season for the varsity rifle team. Yale ' s traditional domination of Big Three rifle competition was also maintained by defeating both Harvard and Princeton in all dual and tournament competition. This year ' s schedule as the tullest and most challenging series of matches in recent years. All competition was shoulder-to-shoulder and matches were scheduled with the best teams in the East including Navy, Army, University of Maryland, and St. John ' s University. Yale fired against ten colleges and military academies, in dual meets, and competed in three tournaments, their own Ivy League Championship, the Coast Guard Academy Invitation in which the team placed fifth among 16 entries, and the National Intercollegiate Tournament. The team was supported by the consistent shooting of Co-captains Larry Strasburger and Roger Cogswell and Senior Dick Finley, while Junior Irv Lerner led the scoring throughout the season. Team Manager Mike Boylen and three Juniors, Dave Schricker, Bob Develin, and Craig Molsberry, all of whom jo ' ned the squad for the first time this year, contributed badly needed depth. The high point of the season for the Yale marksmen, the first Ivy League rifle champion- ship, was a shoulder-to-shoulder tournament fired in New Haven February 23. This match, the first rifle championship to be sanctioned by Ivy League oflicials, was initiated and conducted by Co- captain Larr) ' Strasburger and Yale varsity team members. All of the Ivy League colleges except Cornell participated. The success of this year ' s tournament and the opportunity it gave for teams to meet and plan further development fulfilled the Yale team ' s purposes in sponsoring the match, that is, the encouragement and promotion of competitive rifle shooting in the Ivy League. Next year ' s team will definitely feel the loss of Seniors Cogswell, Strasburger, and Finley; who were scoring team members throughout the sea- son. On the brighter side, however, Irv Lerner, who has paced Yale scoring for the past two sea- sons, will return. 177 19 57 PHOTOGRAPHIC ESS A Y J mi • ' U, M MA.MM ' i I hat (Icx ' s iht ' Yale m m do at nighty i myriad of activities.

Editor-in-chief Leo Bearman was speaking, and his careful south- ern accent blended rather dissonantly with the raucous banging of the Hendrie Hall radiator pipes. I ' m not sure that I agree with you, Pete. { He was talking to Pete Baibach, the organiza- tion ' s Publications Director.) ' We ' re pretLy snowed under with work right now, and pub- lishing the Encyclope.-1:a Brilann ' ca may be a lit- tle out of our line. I hate to throw a damper en the idea, but I ' m just not convinced that it will fit in as another Yale Banner Publication. In the first place. ... How about advertising? Tony Hcgan mo- mentarily forgot a pile of unpaid bills he was piTusing to suggest this all-important problem. Maybe the New Haven area won ' t want to ad- vertise in an encyclopedia. It ' s an interesting idea, as Leo sayi, but it may be difficult for John and his boys to handle. Drawing greedily on the last possible remains of his cigarette, John Marden, that most recently mentioned gentleman, drew himself up to full height to defend himself and his boys. Now look, guys, my advertising staff handled the tele- phone book, didn ' t v e.- No one rose in dissent. And we also covered costs for the Old Campus. didn ' t we.- Again no one ventured a negative vote, but Temby Argall, fearing something in the nature of a filibuster, broke in just as the adver- tising manager was warming up. As Argall began to speak, one could not help but notxe the calm, conservative tone of h ' s voice, and the ingratiat- ing, almost apologetic smile which lighted his features. I think, gentlemen, that we have proved our ability to handle any problem that has arisen. What occurs to me, however, is whether v.e could sell enough encyclopedias to g ' ve the BANNER any kind of prestige. After all, a relatively un- known publication such as the one under discus- sion may prove difficult to circulate, even with our experience in selling what is often reluctant tobcsold. ■ Let mc break in liere tor .i nuniite, ' tiie editor-in-chief interrupted. His haggard look and bloodshot eye marked the results of numer- ous hours at the BANNER, nursing the Olilest College Yearbook to press. A steadfast defender of the Constitution, Bearman led tlie conservative wing of the organization and broke away from his convictions only in his views on makeup, liberal by YALE BANNER standards, and in his photography expense account, much too liberal according to Treasurer John Tracey. ) He con- tinued, It occurs to me that advertising isn ' t the real problem. It ' s getting the students to buy the thing that will eventually present the difficulty. I agree. It was the above mentioned Mr. Tracey speaking, pounder of pavements and scourge of all who were unfortunate enough to owe the BANNER money. We all know how difficult it is to get the Yale man to learn any- thing. Sure, they buy Going Places, but that ' s sex, and where that ' s concerned, they ' re always will- ing to learn. But an encyclopedia — I don ' t know. A reflective pause fell over the tiny group, but it was cjuickly broken by a hyper-tweedily dressed individual whose mellifluous monosyllables were more than vaguely reminiscent of Mr. Osterweis ' speech course. The group listened attentively as Mr. Edward Notz, Circulation Manager and shoest citizen of Winnetka, Illinois rose, casually checked his appearance in the nearest dirty win- dow, and addressed the group: Gentlemen, the cultured voice thundered, let me assure tliose of you who have qualms about the BANNER ' S ability to circulate such a tome, that I can guarantee a minimum circula- tion of 3,000 copies, if I have to beat every heeler to death to see that it is done. Having made his point as forcefully but as casually as possible, Notz resumed his seat amid admiring murmurs from the group. Hah! I knew we could do it! Balbach tri- umphantly chortle d. If the Editor-in-Chief up- held the organization ' s conservative viewpoint, the optimistic Balbach had just as consistently cham- pioned the Jeffersonian wing of the group. Ever since the historic battle over the constitutional amendment proposed by Secretary Steve Weitz, Balbach had gained undisputed claim to floor leader of the BANNER ' S liberal faction. It ' ll be easy, he continued, and all we ' ll need is about four photographers to help out with some terrific ideas I have, and maybe. ...

The slow, deliberate voice and studied manner marked him as the chairman of the photography board, Skip Wallace. He spoke: I veto! It had a ring of finality. With the BANNER using at least ' biV c more photo area this year, my boys are up to their exposure meters in work. Leo is asking for stuff one day before its possible, so we ' re pretty tied up. By the way, interjected Business Manager Hogan, what ' s tiiis bill of $67.00 from the photography board .- ' It ' s for 8x10 photo paper, Wallace drawled. Well, what the hell is this bill for $97.65 for. That ' s for 5x7 photo paper. Why not print all the pictures on the same size paper. Hogan ' s mind was working like lightning. Can ' t be done. . . . Wallace ' s cryptic reply had to satisfy the group, for the doings of the photo board were admittedly sacrosanct as well as unexplainable as far as the rest of the board was concerned. It was art, and the matter rested. Don ' t you think it ' s possible, broke in Secretary Weitz, that we ' ve done enough for one year. The good scribe, by dint of his archi- tectural talents, had taken upon his somewhat narrow shoulders the responsibility of all interior decoration, and many was the time that he had been found staring at the bleak BANNER walls, muttering something about Frank Lloyd Wright and poor design. All the members agreed on this point, for the three rooms which housed their noble organization completely defied even the herculean effort of Weitz to improve their ap- pearance. Weitz never seemed to give up, how- ever, and this probably made him the closest thing to a tragic figure the BANNER could offer the general public. Well said, boy! thundered Notz, flicking a non-existent speck off his cordovan shine. I move the question. It was Hogan assuring himself of a place in the minutes. Bearman rose to take the vote. It was his fa- vorite position, for his apparent knowledge of Robert ' s Rules of Order at least sounded official enough so that no one had the heart to question him. I assume there is no more discussion on the motion, he glowered at the sputtering Pub- lications Director. There being none, the ques- tion being moved and seconded. I call for the vote. AUinfavorsayayeallopposcdnaytheayes- haveit. He rapped on the desk with an empty beer can, and the meeting was adjourned. All had not left, however, for a stray beam from a rapidly sinking sun illuminated for a brief instant the face of Secretary Weitz, and a single tear sparkled in the corner of his eye. If I could only rearrange the room some way, some way. he murmured brokenly. The offices were almost completely dark now. The radiator banged once more feebly, then stopped; a flicker- ing fluorescent lamp sputtered and grew dim; and the eye of the Secretary ' s cigarette briefly glowed as he sighed, revealing for a moment the fireplace and its ever-present motto: Here may the fires of friendship burn. Weitz smiled knowingly, flicked his cigarette away, and walked out into the gathering dusk. Vor the Banner, another convincing victory. i 194 ■ sen iiit a i1 1.

Wright 1 i vXt So ihof du IT is one of the truisms about the weird and wacky operation tailed the Yale Daily News, that the editors spend the first half of their reign in ignorance, and the second in indolence. The painful — and sometimes unsuccessful — learning process which each officer goes through is often so tiring that he needs a prolonged convalescence to recover from its effects. Actually, a successful board is distinguished from an unsuccessful one, by the simple fact that the former takes its rest after retiring, and not before. Like all Neus boards, last year ' s moved into office with the conviction that the News was out of joint, and that only they could set it right. Plagued by a heritage of Kentism and the too- tabloid appearance of their predecessors, the 1957 board, led by Managing Editor Charley Abuza (which cannot be spelled without AA) and Assistant ME Richard ( Dipso Dick) Tomp- son, revamped the make-up of the paper, adding lines between the columns, new headline type, more single column leads, etc. Chairman Calvin (Beloved Bud) Trilhn and George (N. Halton Dalton) Dunn, Vice-Chairman, brought a con- servative tinge to the editorial page — and a bit of humor sadly lacking during the previous year. With Trillin handling most of the local prob- lems, and Dunn fighting for Eisenhower and Peace in the Near East, the editorial page main- tained a commendable balance in coverage. But lucky as the 1957 board was in having a po- litical campaign to fool with on the national level, the sad truth about the more important Yale scene was that no overriding, emotionally charged, and morally uplifting issue developed. In some of the past years, chairmen have spent months gleefully riding down such dragons as compulsory chapel and the fraternity dilemma. But 1957 produced none of these. It would also be correct to add that the editors manufactured none to fill the gap. Buckley gave birth to a hor- rible hydra of Liberal Indoctrination of Yak- Students by Atheistic Faculty Members, and spent his year chopping off head after head. Last year ' s fraternity squabble itself was actually Kent ' s creation. But this year, the chairman- for better or worse — called them as he saw them, and when he saw them, without going out to look for them. The biggest issues of the year, probably, were the Women-at-Yale nonsense (when everyone had fun) and the unpleasant parking ticket con- fusion (when no one felt like laughing). In the first case, the News came out against co- eds, with one dissenting voice from Feature Ed- itor Gerald (Janus) Jonas. One Saturday issue was devoted almost exclusively to complete cov- erage of Dean Howe ' s slip and its consequences. Before the hubbub was over Chairman Trillin had appeared on a cost-to-coast radio broadcast and two separate television shows had beamed the chairman ' s face — and words — into millions N 196 o( living roums acrciss the c iilciitl - ' N ' .ile- (or sex- ) ciinscious nation. But tlic OCD ' s serious i.inip,iii;ii .ly.iinst the prcjudiceei handHng of Yale students in tlie New Haven parking ticket mclce was TriUin ' s most impressive triumph. After four days of wrangling with Yale and city bigwigs, the Nens managed to get the best possible deal for the undergradu- ates — and force the city and the University to admit that glaring blunders had been made. Most at home in handling such concrete prob- lems as parking tickets, the Old Campus rooming mixup, and inefihciency in the student agencies, the Neirs editorial page reached with less success into the realms of academic theory. Supporting improved comprehensives, longer exams, compul- sory Senior theses, the five-day week, and the weaknesses of the college system, Trillin did show that educational controversy would stimu- late the students, as witness the large number of violent letters following each of his diatribes. And no one could ever accuse him of being pro- UAC. If Trillin ' s favorite adjective and most often repeated judgment was absurd (used every other day) Dunn ' s iJee fixe was undoubtedly Israel. Starting ith a series of three reports on the Mid-East in the spring and continuing with a batch of editorials on each separate crisis, the vice-chairman managed to stir up a debate on all aspects of the problem. The fact that he dirctted his attention to this area i iil - a tew months before the big blow-up w .is a indica- tion of his editorial discrimination, if not neces- sarily of his highly controversial op nions. Meanwhle, the sports department went on its merry way, managing to get a seat to each and every athletic event. Sports Editor Randy Gug- genheimer ' s two favorite phrases, Yes, sir, Mr. Loftus, sir, and Where the Hell is Dave Riddi- ford? (assistant sports editor) served to direct visitors to the sports desk, where, if Gugg ' s reign was not notable for controversy, it rarely missed on comprehensiveness. The highlights of the fall sports season were the expansively impressive football picture spreads conceived, developed, and borned by Charley (Flip) Schuize and his astounding pixies. Displaying a tendency toward archness (over- clever mood shots) in some of the later spreads, the photogs excelled on action and split-second reflexes. The crew pages in the spring were among the most successful, and undoubtedly the photo department deserved the kudos showered on them by admirers. The editorial pages also boasted a host of columnists, insiders and outsiders. With Andre Schiffrin writing the book reviews (and trying to ignore the opinions expressed in the editorials above his column), and Gerry Ayres handling the schizophrenic Janus, the 19 ' )7 board produced three opinion- and phrase-makers of its own — The moneymen pint annlher coup. 197 Harold Gulliver ' s Slings and Arrows, G. Mor- gan Browne ' s Bread and Circuses and Jonas ' s Sound and Fury. Slings was a short term affair — intentionally so, a strong voice of Demo- cratic opposition which appeared five times be- fore Election Day. Brown ' s Bread was also short term; it died a mouldy death after a few promising efforts. Jonas ' s Sound was a more permanent affliction; appearing weekly for many months, it turned a disapproving — and usually irrational — eye on almost every aspect of Yale life. Edgar Masters saw to it that there were always enough heelers around to run food trips, answer the phone, and tend bar; he handled his paternal duties with the quiet effectiveness of a shoe. Big Daddy, Dave Laventliol took the post of Production Supervisor with the relaxed air of a more mature Stodd Piatt. And though most of his appearances at the News were made at the paste- up table, somehow a complete production staff appeared each evening to produce the copy for Lav to paste. Deadlines were always met — even if redlines became a thing of the past. There would have been no deadlines — and probably no Neirs at all — if not for the services of the three permanent Nei employees. Miss Gorman as bookkeeper and Miss Chernon as sec- retary contributed to the general well-being of the Neivs merely by their presence and friendly manner — as well as their always ready assistance and willing cooperation. Francis Donahue is a difficult man to describe. Fortunately the number of people who do not know him is so small that the task can be dis- missed as unnecessarily redundant. Suffice it to say, that Francis has been around the Neus longer than anyone else, that his knowledge of Yale, New Haven, and people is unmatched, and that everyone on the Neics felt proud to know him. work with him, and to consider him one of their closest friends in the Yale community. The Neu ' s owns a building. That much any- one can see, on his way to — if not always fro ; — the fraternities. But very few people know what the building rests on. Guesses range from re- inforced concrete to old bound volumes. But the answer is simple enough — money, the good green, the most sweet silver and gold. For with independence, go expenses. Free from University control, the News is by no means free from bill collectors, and the man in charge of keeping the collectors from the door was Henr} ' von Maur, the Business Manager (and probably the first business manager from Davenport, Iowa). Busi- ness-wise, they say, the News never did better. The spring saw the usual spate of well-heeled and well-heelered vacation supplements which were rarely well read. Havana and Bermuda came in for not very discriminating investigations by the business people who discovered that there is more to be found on those balmy isles than sun, sand, and female companionship. h s iidr ce World 195?, a sequel to John Neu- mark ' s famous IFrf Street 1955. appeared in a host of forms late in the fall. Two separate vol- umes on different aspects of the insurance in- dustry, in Western and Eastern editions, pro- vided as wide a coverage as anyone could ask for, and even more perhaps than some had asked for. Originally conceived two years ago by Charley Trippe, Iry Magazine began to show signs of new life after Charley became Local Advertising Manager. After much discussion, the magazine was incorporated as a more exclusively Yale op- eration, depending on stringers at the other col- leges for its league-wide coverage. It would be contrary to the ethics of the his- torian to omit any mention of the internal bick- ering which the operation of Ivy in the Neirs building produced. The fact that a magazine of such scope came out at all is a tribute to the dili- gence and dedication of Trippe and his co-work- ers. The fact that relations between Ifj and the News disintegrated over the year was perhaps inevitable. The outcome was, perhaps, also in- evitable. Shortly before the 1V58 board took over. Ivy found a new trellis in Hendrie Hall ' s Activity House, where the future growth of the struggling plant would be decided. Morris Raker, as Circulation Manager saw that as many people as possible were able to read the news and ads in every issue of the OCD. Peter Wolf, whose official title was Publicity Manager, helped plan the ad campaigns that snared a more than adequate batch of suicide- squad heelers for each comp. Another part of his job was to arrange the 1957 News banquet, and invite speakers and guests. ( Did you say your name was Mr. Farrcll? ' Just a moment, I ' ll check, are you sure you were invited? ) (dm J.- frak i I 198 I Howie Gillis ' s official title was Production Supervisor, and such he had to play nursemaiii to the vari-typists, paste-up people, and head- setters, placate Ray Johnson, and perform a host of other necessary functions, like checking up on long distance phone bills, etc. But as far as 95 ' of the Newsies were concerned he had only one job, which he performed more than capably — Party Manager. There was the Junior Prom orgy with an in- exhaustible supply of hootch, a trio plajing dance music beneath the austere nose of Briton Haddon (Henry ' s rug liad been retired discreetly), and some kind of illustrations plastered all over the walls. Perhaps the most memorable evening was the combined publications ' blast out at a barn in the middle of Nowhere, Conn., with tlie Zebra Club band entertaining the audience and them- selves, and the Guinness Stout people supplying free bottled advertising. Before we had even taken office, the famous cat issue hit the boxes. Lux et Veritas and Sigil: Col: Yalen: etc in the masthead seal were replaced by the simpler, more basic visage of an alley cat, glaring out with un-News-like animosit)- at an uncomprehending readership. Moving from the feline to the ridiculous, the News engaged in some traditional horseplay with its traditional footpad, the Yule Record. There were flushograms , and Red Issues, and ' Ducks in Dormitories. But all tiie nonsense of the year seemed rolled up in the annual traditional bladderball game in the fall. This year the victorious Newsies out- fitted a Safari to the Old Campus from the OCD building, led by Bwana Bud, the Grand Macheer. On the Monday following the game, a yuk picture appeared on page one, showing the mad, costumed procession of Newsmen going down the middle of Elm Street to the Old Campus. Right above the picture, was a lead story describ- ing a rally on the same Old Campus Sunday night, at which students protested Russia ' s inter- vention in Hungary. On page two of the paper appeared an editorial, calling for decisive action by the UN to save the Hungarian nation, and declaring that the college student could fight — and if necessary die — for what (he) believes. The same people who wrote that editorial and that entire issue appear in outlandish costumes in the page one picture.

Wright ■I I I r THERE comes at least one point in e ery person ' s life v lien the next step is apparent to e er ( ' ne, Sucli a point had been rcaciieJ in the life of Yale ' s fastest growing organization when the 1957 Executive Board assumed the role of its supreme guiding force. Therefore, it came as no surprise to anyone when they brought forth the term consolidation and displayed it like a giant THINK sign to remind themselves and the General Board where they ought to focus the year ' s activities. Since its birth 15 years ago, W ' YBC had come a long way. The responsi- bilities for still further progress seemed unlim- ited, but no N- was the time for a pause. Before she had spread herself too thinly, it seemed de- sirable, even necessary, to assimilate the advances of the past and to establish a firm foundation for the advances of the future. How this pro- gram involved us in one of the most ambitious rebuilding projects of recent times and the many distractions which diverted us from our goal is the story of the year 1956. At first the distractions seemed to have the upper hand. Most of us hardly had time to clean our desks and look around before we found our- selves ofif at the Junior Prom with Miss Teddi King, peddling tickets to the Dave Brubeck Con- cert in Woolsey Hall, or dining at the Graduate ' s Club with Perspective ' s guests, Harlow Shap- ley, Stuart Chase, or Granville Hicks. Yet in spite of tliis, the drive to consolidate and to put the station in first-class shape, physically, began. The techies built a new monitor system and the heelers built new record shelves. The recording ilepartment welcomed its first Ampex tape re- corder, and WYBC-A acquired new turntables. At last, however, the spirit of spring house- cleaning turned into ' spring fever. Our idea of consolidation was a joint party on College Week End with the BANNER, the Record, and the Neii ' s. and first-class shape was strictly a personal matter. The question of first-class shape uas again raised by the visit of the Rhcingold girls in the early autumn, but after this the distractions were less frequent, and few more were planned. The project which was to consume most of our energies for the rest of the year was already under way. WYBC-A, it was generally conceded, was here to stay, but there was no doubt that it lacked an adequate base of operations. Further- more, it had eiifectively dispossessed the record- ing department of their former retreat and this severely hampered the increased activities of this select group of artists in sound. Obviously, something had to be done. At the Ivy Convention held at Providence in the spring, we had been alerted to the possibil- ity of eventual expansion to F.M. transmission. Therefore, it was with an eye to the future that we designed and equipped new studies for re- cording and WYBC-A. The old Studio 2 was torn down and, in its place, a second master con- trol room was constructed and equipped with an Altec-Lansing dual channel console and an Am- pex 350 recorder with remote controls.

Tiddi King. provided for all tlie transmission capacity tiiat might be required in the foreseeable future, as well as the finest possible fidelity in sound repro- duction. A new studio was also provided, and the business and public relations department offices were merged to make room for a new com- bination of meeting room, lounge, and studio in the space that remained. What had appeared to be a two-week job on the drawing board in Dumas, Texas, was to take four full months in New Haven. Tiic expenditures in cash ap- « • off? preached $6, 500, and in labor (as always) tiiey were immeasurable. In the meantime, programming was designed to prove to our audience that X BC was more than buttons and wires and hammers and tubes — that these were but a means to an end. The trend toward creative and educational program- ming was continued. To the new standard Per- spective and Supplement series was added ' Focus, a weekly analysis of current events, and Campaign ' 56 , a special pre-election commen- tary by faculty members. Bringing in more out- siders , a program on the Liberal Arts was en- titled, President Griswold Speaks, and in con- junction with the Dramat, a series of radio dramas was produced. Entitled Critics Choice , these programs featured The War of the Worlds, Ah! Wilderness, and 1984 . They also provided drama students with an outlet for expression in the radio medium. While in their content these programs denied the nature of the work that was proceeding be- hind the scenes , they began by the middle of IJK- fall to reflect the new facilities which were available for their production. The last real dis- traction of the year, the national elections, af- forded a perfect opportunity for WYBC to unveil its new electronic strength. WYBC ' s cov- erage was an 8-hour marathon which featured direct wires to Republican and Democratic head- quarters in New York and Washington, a unique system of on the spot reports by WYBC alumni, via telephone, from key cities all the way across the country, and through sheer luck, a direct feed from the N.B.C. network of many major speeches. The installation of the Altec and tiic Ampex 350 were completed for the occasion, and practically all the station members partici- pated in a grand team effort that saw us report- ing returns an average of eight minutes ahead of the major national networks. This was an enviable record. Oftentimes the Executive Board would like to have felt certain that they could stay eight minutes ahead of the average member, but there was never that assur- ance. But if the members were responsible for keeping the execs on their toes (and they were), the execs in turn deserve some praise for their response. They gave the station a year of strong leadership and a sense of direction that will not be soon forgotten. From time to time, they were moved to both boldness and restraint. They took a chance on the Dave Brubeck concert, but they wisely saw that the station was not yet ready for 1 4 202 such a step as F.M. On the whnlc, they did m)t have a bad record. Dick Lumpkin, the active and effective Cliair man, concerned himself not only with liis oftici.il duties but also with many of the details of the station ' s operations. Most important, Lumpkin made himself aware of everything tiiat was done in each department, so that he could better sec what was needed in all departments. His grasp of WYBC and WYBC ' s problems well qualified him for his position as leader and crystallizing force of The Yale Broadcasting Company. Bruce Agnew was well chosen for the position of Program Director. He was a good administra- tor, correcting procedures and improving depart- mental organization. He also had a knack for choosing the right men and encouraging them to produce. Under his care the program log boasted a more meaningful and rewarding sched- ule than ever before in our history. The Vice-Chairman, Rick Kirgis, was at his best when presiding over the manhattans and martinis at the station parties. But he was hardly less capable when presiding over the General Board at election meetings or speaking to a group of prospective heelers. Rick took a sincere inter- est in the heelers under his care, and it is evidence of his success that in the last year our member- ship grew greater than ever before. Another evidence of his success was the first Mr. Mrs. Stardust on Mondays which featured his bride Carol and rivalled the McCrarys on anotiier net- work. The tech department benefitted from the leadership of not one but two equally capable directors. Ed Lynn managed in the first semester to put the station on a firmer foundation teciini- cally tiian it had enjoyed for many years. It was on his recommenda tion that the Altec console was purchased, and he drew up the first plan for the new studios. Dave Lawrence, however, was the man who had to put it all together. The most difficult task which he faced was to main- tain the interest of his department for the sus- tained drive that was required. Dave ' s excellent direction and his own hard work deserve most of the credit for what was accomplished. One man every year is called to make a silk purse out of a sow ' s ear . For Jack Barber, the Public Relations Director, this was not an im- possible task. However, hampered by a weak department and limited by a tight budget, his job was a series of frustrations. Nevertheless he man- aged every so often to dress the station in its rise to the occasion suit to entertain a prom guest or pack the house at a jazz concert. As Secretary, Ken Gergen was less noted for his minutes than for what he might say during the meeting. Witliout a department he was free to criticize and create, and his southern drawl could not conceal an independent mind and a depth of understanding that commanded respect. The anchor man for this team was beyond question the Business Manager, Pat Baker. WYBC made more money and spent more money this year than ever before, and it was Baker ' s efforts that kept the balance in tlie black. With 203 W ' ilh oppinlniiily goes responsibility. weekly beer parties disguised as department meet- ings, Pat boasted the higliest spirited department in the station. Masquerading as the Red Dog on Wednesday niglit Stardust or trouble-shooting in the record department, Pat seemed to have an infinite capacity for contributing to WYBC. The execs worked well together and they found the year an enjoyable and rewarding experience. They found that the executive interview for heel- ers was often a way to become better acquainted with tiie other execs, and these friendships were often refined with an expression of an inward appreciation for Lump ' s Jack Daniels. But these were not the men who really ran the station. It is among the members that ideas are born and projects carried out. Without the persistence and leadership of Al Smallens, WYBC-A might never have become a reality. His organization of the classical music department is the foundation on wiiich it survived — coupled of course with the loyalty of such members as Bill Everett. Witliout Len Levy and Jerry Farnum WYBC-A might never have had a home. As foreman, Len gathered the whole station behind him to complete the studio construction, and in all that group no one could match Jerry o n the fine points of carpentry. On the fine points of salesmanship, Advertising Manager Jim Nelson was in a class by himself, responsible for a total revenue greater than any in WYBC ' s history. Dick Roberts, perhaps this year ' s unsung hero, was an excellent Ivy Representative, who submit- ted extensive renewal pitches that kept our na- tional sponsors happy. The success of the Presidential Election Broad- cast was in no little way an outcome of the hard work of that intrepid Sunday Stardust team, Frank Top and Tom Ruhm. Our Wednesday afternoon Hooper rating resulted directly from Lee Deters ' Rock n Roll Platter Party while on Friday, Zacii Sachs ' Nocturnal Interlude serenaded the casual lover. El Pozzo, as Norty Wright was wont to call himself on Tuesday evenings, was the best argument we had left for television, but his boff and energy were not altogether lost on radio. Harry Volgel was the intelligence behind the recording department, totally dependable and inventive at a time when WYBC ' s demands upon recording redefined and radically increased that department ' s activities. And Craig Bowers, it seemed, was everywhere. The men noted here and the partial list ot their achievements does not complete the stor) ' of WYBC in the past year. Who did what or even what was done is not what seems im- portant as we take our leave. Rather, what did WYBC do for us? The answer depends upon the person, but each of us knows that some posi- tive value was imparted. This year particularly we may leave satisfied that in some measure we have paid for what we took away, by insuring increased opportunities for those to follow . i I Clarence Edgar Zimmerman, II, Cbaniuan John Newton Curlett.

But Ad- vertising Manager, we said, how can we write about the group, the merry men of Hendrie Hall v ho have kept the campus chuckling in ' 56 and who have maintained the Yale Record in the van- guard of global humor unless we write that way — you yourself know you like to look and see what we made you say in the editorials. Well I still don ' t like it, said Advertising Manager. You do not understand, we said, our editorials have not been shallow exercisings of feeble wit as some dastardly persons would have it; beneath their simple sur- face lie allegory, sharp criticisms of the Yale scene, wistful humor, trenchant satire, ironic insights into the human comedy . . . oh shut up, said Advertis- ing Manager . . . we ' re sorry but this is tiic way wc got to do it, we said . . . Old Chairman took a swig of Cutty Sark and sucked nervously at his Egyptian Deity. I don ' t know what ' s the matter with him, I just don ' t know. God, these cigarettes are terrible! What ' s the matter with whom? asked Feature Editor. ( If he ' d heeled the Neifs he would have said with who.) Second Managing Editor, answered Chairman. ' He ' s been acting funny, I mean not Ydle Record funny (die laughing) but oddly. He met an intelligent girl two weeks ago. The shock deranged him, volunteered First Managing Editor. He ' s bought a green lantern and he goes about with it searching for an honest man. Assistant Advertising Manager gasped. Surely not at Yale! An editorial associate made a large glueball and silently handed it to Old Chairman who gripped it thankfully. Shii, here he comes! whispered a Special Publications Director. The great door to the Inner Offices groaned open. Second Managing Editor lurched 206 Yale Record Yale Recon in. He had indeed a lantern on which was clearly marked Property of the New York, New Haven Hartford Railroad. Suddenly he shrieked. Owl is dead! Oh no, you can ' t say that, cried Chairman, pale under his swarthy tan. Can ' t I? I saw it. Owl was torn to pieces by the Neics in the bladderball game. They stole him and put him in a cage and then they tore him to bits! But M.E., soothed Business Manager, it wasn ' t a real live owl, it was just a stuffed one. It ' s all right. We can buy another one if it doesn ' t cost too much. ( As a matter of fact we didn ' t pa} ' for that one. ) Tiie stufTed owl was just a sym- bol, M.E., Chairman explained, having regained his traditional poise. The News rips up our owls all the time. But they can ' t destroy the true Owl, our guiding spirit. They can ' t get at that. So they rip ofT the feathers. The heart and humor re- main. Just remember the fun we had and don t be sad, said First Managing Editor. Eating pizza on the roof of Hendrie Hall beneath the moon.

Money! deprecated Art Editor, what does it matter, only that we bring a few smiles to dreary hearts. Chairman applauded feebly. But Second Managing Editor only hung his head and moped. Frumps, he said. ' What.- ' exclaimed Chairman. Frumps frumps frumps. They ' re people who take amusing things seriously and then go after you because of it. They ' re all .irt)und me. One of them made my lamp go out and now I ' ll never be able to finish my life ' s work. What ' s that, asked Chairman sympa- tiietically. Writing a sequel to Paiadise Regained .

Say, M.E., inquired Business Manager, al- thougii Chairman tried to shush him, What the hell do you want to find an honest man for any- way. They ' re no good around here. They don ' t sell enough ads. Why, even the dishonest ones don ' t sell enough ads, contributed Assistant Ad- vertising Manager. But Second Managing Editor didn ' t answer. He crooned to himself a strange tune, only the last words were audible. ' ' . . . just because you hang around I he Record Just because you play bridge down at Chi Psi. Buddy, you think you ' re shoe. But we ' re after you VTe ' re the motorcycle ga:ig of Hillhouse High. It ' s not original with me, he apologized and lapsed back into despondency. First Managing Editor broke in. I saw some people laughing the other day. They were in the Library, turning the pages of our sensational Daily Mirror parody ( a few copies still avail- able) and laughing and laughing. Imagine it I Laughing at things you and I had written. Nice of you to include me! snarled Second Managing Editor. I bet when you write this crummy article in your heavy moraliz. ' ng style you call yourself First Managing Editor, and nie Second Managing Editor. The ranking is solely by alphabet and not by merit, huffed Chairman. I thought you two agreed on that at the begin- ning of our Board. No, no! we flipped a coin, stupid, shouted Second Managing Editor, and I lost, I lost! Suddenly he broke off and stared at the wall where the covers of nine completeii issues hung. Doesn ' t matter anyway, he mum- bled, Owl is lost, too, for us anyway . . . What ' s this nonsense about me being lost? came a hearty, cheery voice. Old Owl fiew into the room, reeking of Cutty Sark. Circulation Man- ager gurgled with excitement at the sight of his chief. Ive just been away to Rahway, New Jersey, that ' s all, and I can tell you we ' ve got a fine crop of lads coming along there. Don ' t ever worry about me. Old Owls never die, they just moult away. {General Applause and Pande- monium at this bon mot ) He looked at Second Managing Editor pityingly. I tell you what, boy, one of these days we ' re going to steal a printing of the News and stamp The OCD is altogether an abomination and Another Yale Record Parody all over it and won ' t that be funny! The new board has it all figured out. Come on, you ' ll drink to that, won ' t you.- ' Drink? said Second Managing Editor hope- fully. Chairman without a word handed him the bot- tle of Cutty Sark. Second Managing Editor lifted it up and drank it down to the keel level of the clipper ship on the label. A happy smile spread across his worn features and sanity returned to his eyes. More, he said. Suddenly he turned very pale, and then green as the hue of the bottle. Choking he rushed toward the large window. Old Owl and the 1956 Board watched him per- form over the window sill. ' Well, said Old Owl, tradition has been sustained. I still don ' t understand it, said Ad- vertising Manager, and besides you didn ' t say enough about the Business Board.

ON that night in November, 1953, we were herded together in the Yale Theater to hear why we should heel the Dramat. And hear we did! Some of it sounded persuasive, some of it sounded like hard work, some of it sounded like Spanish. (The Spanish came from an amusing, ruddy character who we learned was Leo Lavan- dero, the Dramat ' s Director.) But we were eager, we were impressed, we were persuaded. And so we heeled. As time progressed, a pro- cession of shows was produced. There were our Freshman One-acts . . . Monkey In The Court- house with Bill Bogert in the lead; took the prize. John Loudon got a part in Leo ' s lavish orgy, the futuristically baroque Tempest; the rest of us worked furiously backstage and !n the business Huidiiig, hand. department. More of our class were cast in Tar- l ifje. and Gil Hemsley was given full control over the lighting. Scott Cannell and Re.x Robbins got the leads in Scareciow. In the organizational aspects, we were working our way up; Tony Converse, Steve Mandel, Doug Russell, and Tom Wroth were elected to the board in Copho- more year. Tony was busy making the business department more efficient, and he and Steve and Doug rewrote the organization ' s Rules and Standards with an eye to making the Dramat more beneficial to and for its members. We tried to think in terms of professional methods . . . during the summer of Sophomore year, George White .stage-managed the Kabuki Dancers ' Euro- pean tour, and Bill Hinnant left the group for the greener pastures of a Broadway role in No Time For Sergeants. And all this time, as heelers and underclass- men of the Dramat, we planned. Over cups of tea in Gil Hemsley ' s Branford retreat, we formed ideas and practical plans that we hoped to carry out when It became ' our D. ' amat. And so, in March ' 56, came the elections for the ' 57 Board. Tony Converse was elected Presi- dent and empowered with the much-debatable Presidential Fiat , Steve Mandel was elected Vice-President, and took over as Master of Rev- els ' , and Rex Robbins was elected Secretary. The new board ( the three elected officials, plus six department heads) took over its first job of handling the Scarecrow tour. Steve Man- del had made arrangements for performances in Greenwich, Conn, and Merrick, Long Island. We packed in the snow-storm before spring vacation, Doug Russell drove the set to Greenwich in four I i Iidurs (if nil -isibiiity, and wc commuted I roin campus classes to Greenwich rehearsals. Then on to Long Island for three glorious days of spring vacation. The tour was a huge success. Then came the production of Aubrey Good- man ' s adaptation of The Great Gatsby. Leo went wild, ... if it ' s not in period, I don ' t want it; if it is, I want three of them . . . more louder ami funnier! F. Scott Fitzgerald ' s daughter got more letters concerning production rights; Goey Fran- ciscus got less of his soldier suit on eacii per- formance; Scott Cannell got more sneeringly frightening with each performance; Gil Hemsley got 13 miles of cable worked into a light. ng system; Phil Derby and Joe Lemmo wanted to use real champagne; Mike Dodge smiled contin- ally; George White learned to bark; Bob Wein- mann learned the Rosary in Greek; and the smelly mongrel pup that had only a walk-on got its picture in the New York fourfial and the Los Angles Times. Gatsby was a success! The review- ers acclaimed it all around, Aubrey ' s script was optioned for Broadway production, and financial- ly, we could afford to redecorate the Green Room. Everyone stayed around for the Com- mencement Show. . . . Fritz Liebert ' s backyard steak fry was the highlight of that week of rehearsal and sunbathing. During the summer, sudden word was received from Leo that he was leaving Yale. He had been offered the position of Director of the Govern- ment Educational T.V. project in Puerto Rico. It was hard for us to accept his resignation. Leo had put the Dramat back on its feet after World 77.. L.iJx Sni j„r BuiiiiiiR. War II. He iiad directed some very distin- guished shows for the Dramat. More than any- thing else, he had provided the continuing spirit that kept the Dramat and its productions on a consistently high plane for the seven years he was with us. We were sorry to lose Leo. Our deepest thanks went with him. Nikos Psacharopoulos, Yale Drama School graduate and ex-faculty member of Amherst and Williams colleges, was appointed as Leo ' s suc- cessor. He was short, young, full of ideas and enthusiasm, and (being Athenian-born) had the wonderful foreign flair for exciting theater. The S, Arrangements had been made in the spring to have F. Curtis Canfield, Dean of the Drama School, as director of our fall show, Fry ' s The Lady ' s Not for Burning. It was modern, poetic, and highly acclaimed. The most colorful and taste- ful costuming in some time, an excellent set, and Mr. Canfield ' s intelligent direction resulted in an artistic and financial success. The opening night proceeds were turned over to the Yale Hungarian Relief Fund. Following Lady ... we found our- selves (at long last) on the upper end of the Freshman One-acts. Goey Franciscus, Jerry Ayres, and Ray Sipherd authored the chosen shows, and Rex Robbins, Dick Jackson and Tony Converse directed. Ray ' s play took tiie prize, and anotiier group of Freshmen were started on the upward road towards their Dramat of I960. The last show under the auspices of the ' 57 board was Arthur Miller ' s I ' eir Fro The Bridge. We picked the play because it was mod- ern, American, and gutsy . It was Nikos Psacha- ropoulos ' first show with the Dramat. He directed it to bring out the Greek tragic overtones that pervaded the script. Rex Robbins and Tony Con- verse were cast for the leads. The show was an extremely ambitious undertaking for the Dra- mat, and we were very pleased with its success. And so, the class of ' 57 faded out of the pic- ture. We enjoyed our tenure, tried our ideas, and left our mark. We can look back on having given more unity to the organizational aspects of the Dramat. We have re-evaluated our rules and standards to delineate more strongly the re- sponsibilities of the Dramat to its members and to tlie Yale campus. We have reorganized the business and production departments along al- most professional lines in order to get the best results with the most efficient methods. We have tried to instill an esprit de corps that has made the Dramat as much a fraternity an an extra- curricular activity. We have produced some very successful shows which have evoked New York interest! And we have made the midnight teas a permanent fixture, too. Certainly we will con- tinue to gather at 11:17 at Gil ' s to reminisce and realize the debt we owe the Dramat for making our Yale experience just that much richer. .■i I • £■!(■ l- ' ram the Bridge 1 II Gnoi Pilntr- li s %( %f % % r V Bad Roir— Goslin.

YALE SCIENTIFIC MAGAZINE n HE YALE SCIENTIFIC MAGAZINE is -L written for the general reader and it trie.s to present stimulating, and at the same time infor- mative, articles from ail branches of science and engineering. As chairman of the magazine, Grant Griswold guided the 1956-57 board toward this goal. Grant was able to combine businesslike leader- ship with a perceptive insight into the desires and abilities of the other members of the board. With wrinkled shirt, a jerked-open tie, and his palm seemingly always wrapped around a beer can, he was able to offer an opinion on nearly any subject, concerned with the magazine or othewise, but more amazing was that what he had to say was usually worth-while. Grant ' s sug- gestions with regard to the various phases of the magazine were always well-founded and in many instances were key to the production of a good issue. Tiic magazine kept its policy of printing only articles written by recognized leaders in the world of science, engineering, and industry. Un- like other college magazines of its kind which print student-written articles, the Scientifc print- ed only these articles to maintain the high qual- ity of the magazine. The production portion of the magazine revolved around Managing Editor Norm Jacobs. Through Norm ' s efforts a large amount of seem- ingly unrelated material was combined each month unto a good-looking, unified magazine. John Payne, Production Editor, worked with Norm in designing the lay-out of the magazine. Most of the magazine ' s relations with the pub- lic were under the direction of Ron Savin, the ' Vice-Chairman. Ron attended the monthly meet- ings in New York of the Yale Engineering As- sociation for which the Yale Scientifc Magazine is secretary. He was also the executive board member in charge of the heeling competitions. Bill Williamson assisted Ron in organizing and publicizing one of the largest competitions in recent years. As Business Manager, Steve Mottus was pri- marily concerned with keeping the financial rec- ords in order. He usually ciiuld be lound seated behind his desk recording entries in red and black ink. He was also in charge of coordinating the advertising and circulation departments. Though Steve was cautious to comment on the financial status of the magazine, it apparently stayed solvent throughout the year. One of the most energetic associate editors was Mike Scofield, who was responsible for keep- ing the magazine supplied with articles. Though .it times we felt that Mike was trying to impress us with the scientific prowess of the West Coast, we agreed that the usual quality of articles was maintained throughout the year. Feature Editor Rich Alexander kept the maga- zine abreast of scientific advances through the Yale Scene and Recent Developments sections. Thc;e sections were devoted to describing the latest advances in science and engineering, made both at Yale and in industry. He kindly saved for other members ' inspection any thought-pro- voking pictures he received in the mail. Ted Silberstein capably assisted Rich in the feature work. Ted instituted an addition to the feature section whiih reprinted portions of articles that appeared in the Yale Scieiilific Magazine 2 5 and 50 years ago. Ted also planned to review each department at Yale related to science and engi- nering as a series in the magazine. Bob Rhoads had the sometimes difficult job of obtaining a review for each book he distributed. Carl Mi.iller was responsible for presenting the interesting and challenging Science Quizzes. Dick Oliver was the head of the advertising department. This year more firms placed adver- tising in the magazine than in any previous year. Phil Griffiths was responsible for distributing the magazine to its subscribers throughout the United States and in eight foreign countries. On the local scene Phil played an important role m increasing undergraduate subscriptions. The relations with the faculty were under the auspices of Al Tetelman. His efforts toward im- proving the relations through the Faculty Ad- I visory Board were instrumental in securing out- standing articles for the magazine. Pre-game parties in the fall and the annual outing on College Week End were a few of the formal social events planned by the board. An- other memorable event was the annual banquet held early in the spring. Good food, strong drinks, short introductions, and an outstanding speaker, made this year ' banquet a success. The best remembered facets of the year ' s work on the Scientific were the problems that regularly arose and the people who helped solve them. But nearly as memorable are the physical aspects of the Scientijlc ' s office. The ten-hour paint job on the white woodwork that developed into a four month project, the typewriter chair that bore only three casters, and the sturdy lamp on Mot- tus ' s desk that never worked, will be remembered by us all.

YALE LITERARY MAGAZINE THE 195 Board of the Yale Literdiy Maga- zine, headed by Chairman Toby Briggs, made important advances in both phases of the maga- zine. From the business standpoint, a great in- crease in circulation was caused by Business Manager Peter Hare ' s lowering the price of the magazine and its subscription rates. Advertising also increased somewhat and the general financial outlook for the Yale L leiary Aiagazhie is a er)- satisfying and praiseworthy one. The editorial aspect of The Lit was signih- canly improved by the superior qualit) ' of under- graduate literature submitted throughout the year. The material received was characterized by its great variety and tremendous scope, ranging from the light-hearted to the deeply philosophical. Scott Sullivan ' s story, Those Goddam Bygone Days , dealt specifically vs ith the concrete actual- ities of college life; Roger Dionne ' s essay on Sartre ' s brand of Existentialism, Le Nc ' ant and Freedom , on the other hand, concerned itself with life on a far more abstract level. Between these two extremes there was a great number of fine stories and poems and some excellent liter- ary essays, such as John Simon ' s fine treatment of the problem of communication between individ- uals in the plays of Pirandello. The Lit also maintained its connection with the drama by printing Aubrey Goodman ' s prize-winning one- act play, Come to the Party. Much of the credit for the high quality of the literature published in The Lit goes to Michael Cooke, the Prose Editor, and H. Glenn Edinger, the Poetry Editor. Glenn also contrib- uted poetry and book reviews, while Mike was represented by both poetry and prose. The book reviews maintained their usual high level of critical judgment under the supervision of Bob Netting. The reviews dealt mainly with new books by previously established authors, criti- cal studies of literature, and newly-released paperback editions; however, there was a smaller number of reviews of new novels written by rela- tively unknown writers. The annual Francis A. Berg ' n Memorial Prize for outstanding undergraduate poetry was award- ed by the Senior Editors to Mike Cooke and David Supino. . . (DlR.tu,). Rinalcli, Ciik-Tiian. YALE DEBATING SOCIETY DEBATING at Yale offers its participants training both in the effective presentation of argument and in the logical construction o f that argument ' s content. Eight members of the Class of 1957 have benefited from that training during their Senior year; discussing a variety of subjects from the serious to the ridiculous. Our 1956-1957 season began with the Princeton Humorous Debate, a contest with a proud and glorious record of victory for Yale. Our three most hilarious comics, Charles Rinaldi, Phil Lottinville, and Bruce Agnew, successfully defended the negative of the proposition, Re- solved: That a good woman would have con- ducted a better campaign than Adlai Stevenson. This same team went on to Cambridge to oppose Harvard on the topic, Resolved: That coeduca- tion brings out the best in man. In this debate, unhappily, no decision was reached, because of the intrusion onto the judges ' panel of an alien element, i.e. a woman. As the spring of Senior year progressed, Neal Blue, recently selected to join several of his fellows as a member of the honorary forensic fraternity. Delta Sigma Riio, Bob Joost, who performed a difficult feat indeed by being chosen for the varsity debate team in his Senior year, Eddie Meyer, who joined us in Junior year, and Ronald Coleman, a distinguished member of our sister group. The Yale Political Union, were gird- ing up their collective loins to vanquish such ad- versaries as Penn, Brown, and Columbia. At the same time, Dick Arnold, a veteran of last year ' s tournament team, was preparing for this year ' s tournaments, including one at Boston University on the national topic Resolved: That direct eco- nomic aid to foreign countries be discontinued. At the banquet in the spring preceding our Senior year, Dick Arnold was elected the Asso- ciation ' s President, Phil Lottinville, Vice-Presi- dent, Bruce Agnew, Secretary, Ronald Coleman, Manager, and Charles Rinaldi, Membcr-at-Large. These officers, under the skillful tutelage of Pro- fessor Rollin Osterweis and his assistant, Jeremy Butler, 1952, 1959 L., have effectively guided the activities of Cicero ' s successors at Yale. 216 Onderdonk.

McDonald succeeded Peter Morse as President of the Union. Elected with McDonald to serve in tlie fall term were Thomas H. Price, Jr., Vice-President; Charles E. Allen, Secretary; and Clarence D. Fleming, Jr., Treas- urer. It was to this administration that the Union looked for guidance in maintaining the traditions of stimulating speeches and discussion that have marked Yale ' s only non-partisan political organ- ization. No such organization is complete witimut the smoke-filled rooms, political deals, and other fascinating maneuverings of American political life. It is the purpose of the three parties of tlic Yale Political L ' nion to provide this all-impor- tant aspect and to represent a definite political position in the Union. Reading from left to right, one comes first to the representative of the Great American Left, the Liberal Party. Ably led by Stephen L. Wan- ger, the Liberals built themselves into one of the most powerful forces in the Union. The Conservative Party, chaired this fall by J. Alexander Onderdonk, has long been the most popular party in the Union, being made up of moderates of the Eisenhower stamp. Being in the center, the Conservatives behaved more like one of the national parties, often splitting on indi- vidual issues, but coming together for election campaigns. Holding down the right side of the ideological line is the Part) ' of the Right, whose chairman was Dean H. Secord. Called by one of its mem- bers a party for conservatives who think, and by those who oppose it a mutual-admiration society, the Party of the Right is made up pri- marily of right-wing Republicans and Southern Democrats, with a sprinkling of monarciiists to add zest. With a greatly increased membership, the LTnion began the year with a debate on the topic, Resolved: That the LJ. S. support Nasser in Suez. After a fiery debate in which Mr. Nasser was called everything from a Hitler to a George Washington, the resolution was soundly defeated. At the second meeting of the term, the Union . was treated to a debate between AUard Lowen- stein of the National Volunteers for Stevenson and Roger A. Moore, Chairman of the Massa- chusetts Citizens for Eisenhower. The debate was, one might say, rather partisan, the peak being perhaps reached when Mr. Moore referred to Sen. Kefauver as a Sancho Panza following Mr. Stevenson in the fight against imaginary terrors. Continuing on the subject of the national elections, the members of the Union debated on election eve the subject, Resolved: That the Republicans be retained in office. The Repub- licans won, but not quite so easily as President Eisenhower did the next day. The high point of the meeting, however, was the debate on a special resolution calling for the United States to bring pressure, physical force if necessary, to bear in order to release Hungary from the iron grip of the Communist tyrants. In spite of the strong wording, the resolution passed by a marg ' n of better than 2 to 1. On November 19, the Union battled on the subject, Resolved: That the U.N. establish a permanent police force. This resolution passed due to the efforts of a surprising coalition of the Liberals and the Party of the Right. The final debate of the term saw the Union divided on whether Yale should establish an effective student government. The question of what constituted an effective student govern- ment caused a remarkably fiery debate which called forth all the tact and forcefulness of the chairman to keep things under control. After one of the most vigorous campaigns in the history of the Political Union, a new slate of officers was elected to run the Union in 1957. Elected were President, Charles E. Allen; Vice- President, Steven W. Matthysse; Secretary, Clar- ence D. Fleming, Jr.; and Treasurer, Eric Hicks. The newly elected party chairmen were Richard Posner, Liberal Party; Robert M. Arias, Conserva- tive Party; and Jared C. Lobdell, Party of the Right. The new term began with an address by Mr. Tahseen M. Basheer of the Egyptian Mission to the U.N. who spoke to a standing room only audience of over 200. ilOtt Hf I B.ui Ron — Lein. Travers. T. Wlicckr. Durfee. T. Walsh, Frev. Emersdn. Chase, Huev.

Those that remained of the 1955-56 Club were still talking of the summer tour which took place last June. This had consisted of close to a month of travelling across the country. On June thir- teenth the Glee Club departed from LaGuardia Airport for Cincinnati. After an afternoon of swimming and soft ball they sang for a debu- tante party and were entertained late into the evening. Too early the next morning the fligiit left for Louisville. This time the party took place on the lawn of a formidable southern home. The concert was outdoors at the University of Louis- ville, and although the heat was hard to take and the accoustics were almost impossible, the audi- ence was enthusiastic and the concert was a ticc ' -ss. Kansas City was the next stop, then on to Denver. The Glee Club stayed in Denver for several days to catch their breath. The first concert was held in a local high school and was followed by the usual party. The second day in Denver included a trip to the University of Colorado and an informal concert, drawing an audience which turned out to be even larger than our crowd on the night before. Finally the Glee Club left Denver with a very favorable impression of the cit} ' . At Salt Lake City the concert took place in the Mormon Assembly Hall at Temple Square. The Mormon hymn which had been learned especially for the occasion went over very well. After Salt Lake City the Glee Club flew straight to the West Coast. Long Beach and Pasadena were the first two stops. An afternoon in Disney- land and a California barbeque took up the spare time. The Club travelled by bus to Santa Barbara and, after a concert there, went on to San Fran- cisco. A week end was spent recuperating and seeing the town. The Glee Club was invited to the Bohemian Grove for an exclusive afternoon, which provided many laughs and filled the red- woods with yodels. Portland, Seattle, and Spokane 219 1 4 rounded out tlie west coast trip and the Glee Club travelled east on a strato-cruiser as far as Minneapolis for their last concert. The tour was judged a success unanimously at a champagne party given in honor of the tour. A good final concert in Northrop Auditorium at the Univer- sity of Minnesota concluded the tour. The Glee Club reassembled briefly for a concert with the Boston Symphony at Tanglewood, Mass., then the Glee Club year of 1956 was officially over. In tlic fall a regeneration was nccessar) ' . A new C lub had to be cultivated from the rem- nants of last year ' s group. Many of the big solo i)iccs had graduated last June, and new men would be needed in all parts. Fenno worked, and within a few weeks the Yale Glee Club of 1937 was formed. Under the steady hand and sweating brow of I ' enno Heath, the Glee Club gre ' in strength, blend, and repertoire. The songs were different, with the exception of the perennial Yale songs ( may they ever bring tears to the old grads ) . In some cases they were new. Fenno unveiled Psalm IX , his own setting of the Psalm, and in this song both the Glee Club and their audi- ences found something to sink their teeth into. E. E. Cummings ' poem, Sam Was A Man , set to music by Vincent Persichetti, also provided contemporary flavor for the program. The mem- bers of the Glee Club had barely learned the music when the joint concert with Columbia ar- rived. The season was thrown into full swing and there was no longer time to catch one ' s breath. From the beginning of November until Christmas vacation there was no rest for the voices of the Glee Club. In Woolsey Hall the Princeton and Yale Glee Clubs met with the same sense of competition which the spectators saw the next day at Yale Bowl. There was also a joint concert with Harvard in Cambridge. Town Hall was the scene of another joint concert, this time with Brown and Cornell. At the end of the concert all three Glee Clubs joined in singing a medley of football songs which Fenno had ar- ranged. After concerts in Manchester, Conn., Concord. New Hampshire, and Stamford, Con- necticut, the Glee Club members were ready for 220 their Christmas vacation, but hctwccn tiicni .uul Santa stood the Christmas tour. Tiiis year ' s Christmas tour uas st hcxiulci-i to cover five states and extend into ( anada. Prepa- ration for th is trip iiad to tai e (iLue well in advance. Several Christmas songs v ere placed in the repertoire, and the whole program had to be smoothed out and polished. A high point in the preliminaries of the tour came when the ofti- cers of the Club stood one by one and solemnly advised that everyone should use temperance in all things during the tour. This was met with a few snickers from those of last year ' s group who recalled some of the speakers ' antics on previous trips. After several extra rehearsals ( Fenno apolo- gized for taking so much time, but the extra rehearsals continued ) and mass pressing of tails, the trip began. The Glee Club flourished under the heat of travel. Boston opened up the trip. There was little time to enjoy the city, for they left for Montreal within an hour of the concert ' s con- clusion. The Montreal concert was to take place at McGill. Much to the delight of the Glee Club, the women seemed to outnumber the men in this wonderful place. Everyone spent the afternoon and evening exploring Montreal, the McGill campus, and meeting the aforementioned coeds. The concert held in the gym attracted an audience of over three thousand. As in Boston the post- concert festivities were curtailed by an early de- parture. After a night and a morning on the jolting pullman, Erie, Pennsylvania (.ame into view. Chicago audiences also applauded the Glee Club, as did those in Detroit and Milwaukee. Finally the trip was over, and the Club retired to their respective towns for some muih needed rest. Ciiristmas vacation was soon over, Greenwich broke the ice for the ' 57 season. This year New Jersey was the main center of activity for the Glee Club v ith concerts in Englewood, Mont- clair, and Plainfield. The fruition of the season was reached in the presentation of the Bach B minor Mass. This was sung in cooperation with the Connecticut College Chorus and the New Haven Symphony Orchestra. At first. Bach seemed like another excuse for singing scales, but when the Glee Club began to learn the music and put it together with the orchestra the beauty of the mass became apparent. The entire perform- ance went smoothly and everyone agreed that the excitement of singing the mass was well worth the time spent in learning it. Two appearances at Yale rounded out the Glee Club ' s season. A concert in Sprague Hall added to the festivities of Junior Prom week end. Later, at the annual Glee Club Jamboree the Glee Club, along with several other musical organizations, demonstrated to the student body the many facets of singing at Yale. A full house at Woolsey Hall watched and listened to the music of the four Yale Glee Clubs and several of the informal singing groups, including the Whiffenpoofs. Drama was added to the evening by the competi- tion of the finalists in the annual quartet contest. After this performance nothing remained of the year but the Commencement concert. Everyone in the Glee Club agreed that this season was one which they would remember and that the Glee Club had been an important part of their Yale experience. I 1 J v i A Bji k Roll Ehv ii.h.

I APOLLO GLEE CLUB THE lii lily successful iy56-57 season for the Apollo Glee Club gave further proof of the enjoyment gained in the active participation in singing which exists at Yale. Under the compe- tent direction of Donald E. Shelhorn ' 56, who conducted the club for the first time this year, the members of the Apollo engaged in a full con- cert schedule which took them from New Lon- don, New Hampshire, where they took part in a joint concert with the Colby Junior College Glee Club, to Baltimore, Maryland, where their per- formance on May 4 marked the opening of Arts Week at Goucher College. The first three concerts of the season were performed before Christmas vacation began. The first was a rather informal affair at the Veterans ' Hospital in West Haven, where the performance was recorded and later broadcast to patients throughout the hospital. This concert was fol- lowed by appearances before the local 42 Club on December 10, and at the University Christian Mission at Battell Chapel on December 16. A concert at Pine Manor Junior College in March and the concerts at Colby Junior College and Goucher College constituted the very enjoyable social life of the club. The Apollo Glee Club also performed at several municipal concerts in New York and New Jersey. Among its Connecti- cut appearances was a concert in Norwalk on April 6 for the benefit of the Y.M.C.A. It also joined with the other Yale glee clubs and sing- ing organizations in presenting the annual Jam- boree in Woolsey Hall on April 26. A tribute to the growing enthusiasm connected with the presence of two high-quality glee clubs at Yale was the fact that this year ' s Apollo Glee Club was forced to establish a waiting list of prospective members. The spirit and hard work of those who were members of the club was re- warded at the end of the season by a party held to celebrate a thoroughly enjoyable and rewarding year. 222 , SuinciA illc.

According to the Mid- west ' s answer to Izaak Walton, By the Sea, even the fish took flight. His efforts and results certainly bore this out. Upon arriving at Pitchpipe ' s summer resort, we were wined and dined by Maine ' s genial toastmaster, Tibby, and his longing wife. It was one of the finer social occasions of the season. After spending the night on the mainland, we jumped lightly into Mr. Breezy ' s African Queen — in our topsider, of course — and prayed our way across the lake to vvhat was to be our home and playground for a eek — Moosewannaweewee Lodge. So many things happened at the pre-season training camp ( See you in the FrajoUicka! ) that seem more enjoyable in retrospect. Hobo first became addicted to bridge under the expert guidance of Mogul. His is a heartwarming story: if you keep playing bridge long enough and really put something into it, you ' re likely to be just as bad as when you started. Whiffenpoof Island was officially named. Bux and Rinso won the Mooseiookmeguntic Lawn Tennis Dou- bles Championship, not because of their excel- lence in ground strokes, but as a result of their get up and go to chase balls which hit an occasional mole hole. Goose Q acquired the name of Syngman through his continual ef- forts to set a new record for pad time. Mother Breezy gave Bux the affectionate nickname of T-head for his help in making a general mess of things. Some of us were constructive, though; tlie foundation of the Mooseiookmeguntic Bio- logical Society can only be attributed to Frenchie and his daily frog-hunting hikes. Speaking of frogs, we will never forget Ho- bo ' s role as frogman in an attempt to save our own Prime Minister from drifting back to Eng- land, where he had spent the summer in scholarly research. Our stay at Mooselook can best be summed up in the expression, ' Wah-la-oola, 223 i which, as rumor has it, is tlie evening cry of the great horny toad. This cry has been heard on and off over the year, but it was subdued to a degree when c reached Squam Lake. We had hardly unpacked the bags when Florida ' s own Worcester put on the water skis and wasn ' t seen on land again for five days. He tried to teach us how to use a disc, but the only t ' o who tried, Hobo and Bux, seemed to be blest with slippery feet. Pope, who had a few years ' experience on most of us, warmed up with the first date — her spa- ghetti dinner made us think of Miss Bowers — terrific personality, though. The second day at Squam Lake the twelve of us just happened to be water skiing down the slopes of beautiful Squam Lake and just happened to sight Wheaton Inn and just happened to stop for gas and just happened to take a lot of gas. What happened to that engagement, Popo? Our stay at Squam Lake was made much more enjoyable by the Adams family. They were won- tlertul, sujiplyi ' ig us with everything from boats to cards. Lepre relived the old saying, Lucky in cards, unlucky in love, when he drew the king of hearts. And Bux, in his usual suave manner, was heard to say three-quarters of an hour later, Wiiere did you say you went to school? The school year began with our first piece of apple pie at Mory ' s. Brown week end found us songsters up to our usual hilarious antics. While driving to the library in Otto ' s (von) Volks- wagen, we decided to take a short cut through the Yale Bowl. It just happened to be inter- mission, so we jumped out in the usual suave, debonnaire style, for a quick cigarette break. All of a sudden, there we were, surrounded by thou- sands of screaming females. What did we do. ' ' We were funny, of course. The crowd was roar- ing at our clever antics and pantomimes. But where had the crowd gone? Was the game over? They must have been handing out money at the hot-dog stands. Well, what the heck did they expect for three bucks, Elvis Presley? 224 I •-net spa. ' Wveof The world of song survived most of the foot- ball season although it was badly mangled by Rinso ' s version of the Whiff Song ( there ain ' t nothing sacred in this group ). Princeton v eek end arrived and the crowds gathered to watch us cut down the Nassoons in a rousing game of who-can-run-faster-at-ten-o ' clock-in-the- morning-with-a-hangover — our version of touch. Syngman, who tried to persuade us to call the game because of sun, spent the duration of the game opening beer and replacing the ice-packs on his eyes. Lepre displayed his ultra-eastern prep school prowess in the art of broken field running by faking out beer cans, trees, and dates to cross the opposite goal four times ( But ' Nadir ' . . . tlie game hasn ' t started! ). He paid for it — he suffered cramps in his fat for the next three days. By the Sea recalled and accepted the words of the famous economist, A. Kinsey, Win a few, lose a few. The week end drew to a close as we sang for and sipped cocktails with a full sized sheet and little Bedouin at the International House. Everyone kissed his date goodbye and Antici wrote Mother. Briarclitf and Yale met for an evening of singing and drinking to start the winter social season. Cocktails at Syngman ' s Teahouse en- abled the group to get off on the right knee. At the Savoy-Plaza we sang to the complete delight and satisfaction of Popo ' s miss wonderful — ■ aren ' t you just the cutest bunch of Whiffen- poofs, etc. — on into the night. The dance was merely a prelude to Operation Locust at 2 A.M. Destination: Ahab ' s Castle on Park Av- enue. On arrival, Popo jumped the Scotch, Hobo flipped the flap-jacks, Lepre beat the eggs, By tiie Sea stripped the bacon, Rinso talked to Birdseed, and Syngman nursed Bubbles. The Christmas Tour fell on Christmas vaca- tion . . . and killed it. Pitchpipe had one experience whidi he didn ' t share with the rest of us — breaking his jaw over Christmas vacation. (Maybe he couldn ' t sing so well, but he sure could hum!!) The year ' s activities included singing for the late Tommy Dorsey, Arthur Godfrey, Jock Whitney, and Lena Home, and such occasions as the Annual Bar- risters ' Banquet in Washington, D. C, the Foot- ball-Crew dinner in New York, and College Week in Bermuda. We are bound to remember many things not mentioned here, especially the cry of Turkey fading into the distance, Just tell me which car . . . which car.- 225 B.ick RoK— Funkhouser, Patterson, Chase, Terry, Lee, Clark. - ' ; .( Ron—D ' iA.

But there were many more lives to go; the reversion was only temporary. Mory ' s, that womb of all Yale song, discovered an Irishman who liked to sing, and the uncovering of D ' Port ' s answer to the Elvis craze filled the ranks once more. Kittens Chase, Clark, Funkhouser, Lee, Terry, and O ' Hearn joined the sunset caterwaul in the bowels of Calhoun and the great Alley Cat was reborn. Princeton week end and a party at the O ' Hearn ' s tested the voice of the new kitten and Webb ' s home brew. Struck by white lightning, the Alley Cat suddenly grew up. Later, at Al- bertus Magnus, Terry revealed a new version of Aura Lee, and Dial and Patterson sentimen- talized over a small motel. Ludington, at six-feet, four, sang Five-foot, Two, and, at times, Clark doubled in bass. The snows were still deep in New Haven when the Alley Cats began to dream of golf, tennis, balmy waters, and the crack of white canvas on tlie Gulf Stream, all under the benevolent aus- pices of that Florida sun. Memories of charcoal- broiled steaks and par-boiled bodies, of guitar duets in the moonlight and beer for breakfast urged the group to a frenzy of activity. The re- hearsal schedule was stepped up and so was the search for cars. At last, the caravan embarked for Orlando, Vero Beach, Ft. Lauderdale, and points south to carry through the most successful Florida tour ever. Rossen finally remembered the solo to Ezekial and Funkhouser proved that even a southern gentleman could Charleston. Lee brought his Canadian Sunset down to a more reasonable latitude and Webb fell in love (again). The group had to drive all the way to Winter Park this time to pick up the thirteenth Alley Cat and at last William smiled. The Alley Cats sang Night and Day and in between times made all the dreams of Feb- ruary become reality. The Dial-Ludington tennis series never was concluded, but it was time to go. Friday at Mory ' s was dusted off again; College Week End came, preceded and followed by a series of less formal parties. There was a new litter of Alley Cats to be reared. !■ Nti 226 Bad Rou in, Dickey. First Rou- Rodgers. Joline, Mackenroth. Walsli, MacKinnon. AUGMENTED SEVEN THE tr enty-ninth anniversary blast with the Night Owls last spring left the Augmented Seven steeped in preservative to guard against rust, rot, and orange-tree blight over the summer. But a quick tally in the fall revealed that six sec- ond basses had been called to Washington, while the Whiffenpoofs gobbled three more. Such a purge was immediately repaired with Ron Levin. Opening at the J.E. Jamboree with a new version of Jamaica Farewell by Turk Macken- roth. Bob NX alsh led his hairy crew through the college and frat dances each Saturday night, stop- ping only for MacKinnon to sing Tiger Take Gas, and for Firehouse Rogers to down two free drinks (for the whole club). Then up to Harvard, where the girls (and some of the Har- vard students) swooned in ecstasy as Houndog Hahn leaped into action accompanied by Coconut Joline on a Chickdickey. For those subtle Smith house parties Genius Hull cooked up Scandal in Saint Thomas, a very subtle song, while Stetson added an even more subtle verse to alleviate Mary ' s trouble. Next it was new member time. As each pros- pect came through the door, he was warned that election would require his giving up spring va- cation to cruise up to Bowdoin for a big week end, and then down to Florida and the Ever- glades Club, the Fountainebleau, and Webber College. Mike Dickerson, Stu Stoddard, and Pete Miller each came in with a fifth of Jack Daniels and were elected immediately. Pete Karsten and Jim Arnold came in with a fifth of Highland Queen and were elected immediately. Tad Foote came in with a bag of ice.

A retrospective look could view a half-year of some excitement, some disappointment, and the ever-present beer kegs and martinis. Into the first classification could be included a spot at the Freshman Prom, a trip to Florida, and innumerable appearances at women ' s colleges. The second classification could include all the times when there was not enough — or too much — of tiie third. But the excitement far outweighed the disappointment when the em- bryonic Order readied maturity by the end of the school year. In the plans for the forthcoming year, the Bachelors saw fraternity parties, the now tradi- tional trip to Florida, and the possibility of pro- ducing their own record. By Christmas vacation all three projects were completed or under prepa- ration. Arrangers Chuck Schock and Dick Gilin- sky formulated a program that could compare with the best, and Director Paul Walter com- pleted the process by rendering interpretations as only Paul could. On every football week-end melodious strains of I Get a Kick Out of You and Long Ago and Far Away were emitted from houses of distinction from Temple Street to York Street. On Dartmouth week end the Fresh- man dance at the New Haven Lawn Club was the scene of much excitement as the Bachelors gave the Class of 196() its first taste of Yale ' s informal singing. The highlight of the season was the trip to Florida. Between basking in the sun and betting on dog races, the Bachelors found time to enter- tain at hotels and clubs all along Miami Beach. The third project of the Bachelors was to pro- duce their own record. Tiieir cause was enhanced by an appearance on the Yale Sampler Record with mumbling Larry Pierce winning the heart of every co-ed and Yale alumnus in the area. When the time came for their own creation, the Bachelors proved capable of the task and the sales threatened those of Harry Belafonte himself. But the glamor of Florida and success did not turn the heads of the Bachelors; they still prefer beer kegs and martinis. 228 4 I A I f f tf f % B.«- Roti- -Moran. Barker. Opsahl, West. Sanderson.

Between week ends at various women ' s col- leges the musical repertoire of the group was built up under the extraordinary leadership of Coconut Don Shelhorn, whose own arrangements brought a new emphasis on close harmony and syncopation. Doughnut Rusty Post planned the spring trip to Florida, stopping along the way at the University of Virginia. The annual banquet at Morys marked the tenth anniversary of the Bakers Dozen; as usual, the Captain ' s Room was filled with song, as past and present members felt the inspiration of good spirits. 229 Bark Row — Garrity, Cunnin.uli.uii.

Imagination supported by tradition has maintained the JEsters as the one small singing group at Yale drawing its members from one college. This year has been prosperous, but not without its trials. Monday night beer- sings in the Senior Common Room became a JE institution. Minorit) ' factions (the famed JE duet) have skyrocketed such songs as Ten to One ' and Take off your Bustle to places in the Yale repertoire beside Boola Boola, Bulldog, and Hush Little Puppy, You ' re the Sweetest I ' ve Known. Simultaneously the JEsters received their biggest setback in years: the pool table was moved to the southeast end of the Junior Com- mon Room. The JEsters were encouraged throughout by the enthusiastic if sometimes tolerant support of their number one fan, Freddy Guard. It was a team venture. Stubbs, in spite of sev- enty-one separate sets of uncuttable fraternity elections, taught lost parts to the tenor section. Wood, perennially awakened at 10:10, came to practice nearly dead. Loucks ' car outlasted, even if it couldn ' t outspeed a certain ' 36 Ford which alternated between freezing and smoking. May turned in the unforgettable performance of the year — teetering on a chair in the Branford Com- mon Room, a precarious battle between Joshua and Kentucky Bourbon. The earth stood still; George recovered for the prattle would be done. Schmitt ' s In Junior year, excuse me, ah, actually Sophomore year, ah brought fan mail from Washington. Touring various girls ' colleges in Record time, Dittrick made engagements for the JEsters as well as himself. Thompson, after much cavilling, was finally persuaded to join. Leinen- weber, one of six returning lettermen, performed behind the scenes as business manager. Starr shifted from baritone to bass and finally mastered the Bum as opposed to the La La . What Brewster lacked in pitch he made up for in steak and beer at JEster week ends in Ridgefield. As the JEsters break up the final Monday night dinner of the year, all can say in unison, with voices hoarse with singing: ' ' ... l ke it ... 231 .

A winning combination of musicality and joviality has enabled the group to give enjoyment in the past year to diversified people in varied places: to undertakers and rec- ord makers, to Rotary Clubbers and societ) ' moth- ers, to Glee Club and Hunt Club; at student parties and faculty parties, at College, Fraternity, even birthday gatherings; in Detroit and Erie, at Barnard and Boston, at Smith and at songfests. This was a marked year. This was the year Banker tried out the group and found it suit- able. This was the year the Eppes mastered Ran- dolph ' s piano, that Gibb learned to ride that conglomeration of metal, and that Frey achieved literary as well as musical distinction. This was the year that Cullinan followed Pattison ' s lead in biting the dust with a ring through the nose. Old faces, new faces; but always an evolving spirit is present, one that has brought them ever to enjoy performing because they had the means to please their listeners. However, ninety percent of small group sing- ing is before no audience, and this group found its raison d ' etre in rehearsals. Here flourished rounds and roundelays, old pieces and new pieces, risque and by-play, Mozart and Somary, yodels, sound effects, falsettos, and profundos. Consider the puzzled McClellan as he envisions the intrica- cies of Sweet Sue ; the strong fortification of Aikenhead as he wields the Second Tenor cause; and the benign countenance of Purves resigned to the complete and utter abolition of the Sub- way Song. Gustafson growling the low ones, McComb eyeing the high ones, and Gregory dubbing Ja ' Vie Elsker in between. At times the revered grey head of Orpheus got greyer, and the ulcers of Prometheus more pronounced, but ever the spirit of Bacchus and Jonathan ' W. Group permeated the decible utterances of all such activity. And yet, more important than musical manipu- lation is that something which is attained through long periods of joint striv ing to perfect a unit of song. Such mutual effort creates a lasting mean- ing over and above the significance of the song produced. Old faces, new faces.

Seated — Ehrlicli DE PORTERS ; sonj; ON a cold winter ' s night in December, 1955, eiglit aspiring Carusos gathered in Dwight Hall to form a singing group which, despite its name, would not Noisy-Eight its hearers. After a year of trial and success, the group decided to reform itself under the auspices of Davenport College, which soon discovered, to its delight, that not all its gloria had transit-ed. The resulting oligarchy of Bob Burnett, Dave Ehrlich, and (sometimes) Chuck Banks, when not occupied in a struggle for control, made daily rehearsals resemble a page out of Inside Eli. After grappling for weeks with the bagpipe arrangements of Ehrlich, De Porters — for such they were christened — went through their bap- tism of fire before an audience of Davenport men and their dates on Dartmouth week end. With the kudos from this success ringing in their ears, they followed it up with a performance at Zete on Princeton week end. Four of the group were holdovers from the earlier octet. These were Burnett who, along with the redcap, held down first tenor — down very far; Banks, tlie little innocent corporal who, as business manager, at least kept tliem solvent, and — had a car; Dave Helms, he of scarlet fame; and Sid Holderness, very much responsible for the extended smooch. Additional assets were Rog Lee, who gave out looks with a leer; Hobie King, who will remain full of passion as time goes by; and Hal Morrow, whose doubled a rattled tlie windows of Davenport ' s music room. Bagpipism added color to the arrangements of such numbers as What is This Thing Called Love? Autumn in Rome, and Limehouse Blues, featuring tlie only blond Chinamen ever seen, the crawling bass of the Brahms Lullaby, and — oh yes — those Christmas carols! The eight young choristers decided to get a little off-base, and Smith house party and week night audiences brought cheers. These were quickly followed after vacation by offers ranging from the prim ladies in black at Manhattanville to a talent scout hawking subway tokens in Times Square. Special tlianks go to Mr. Merriman, and in the future, when in a railroad station, be sure to tip De Porter. I 233 B.ick Rou — Buck, Walsh, Atherton, Ravenscroft.

This year they were eight, a double quartet, which meant that they had to work. One advantage; all eight had gone through last year together and knew how to think and sing as a team. After a week, the Arnolds ' house was a shambles, but the Spizzwinks (?) were ready for Yale. Football season meant singing every week end, four times one night. Persian Kitten still brought laughs (may it ever). The Spizzwinks (?) also took their sound outside the ivy walls to Branford Women ' s Club, where the members tittered at Benny ' s from Heaven. Briarcliff put them in a hot basement room, then called for every encore they had. One afternoon they sang at Sarah Lawrence, then headed for Conn. College to entertain the Soph Hop that evening. As ever, the girls made a contented audience. Second semester hit, and they tried out Fresh- men for next year ' s group. Later at Mory ' s four green Freshmen disappeared under the green cups. (They went down singing.) Waterbury Country Club made the Spizzwinks (?) a tradi- tion, and three innocent girls were hit by a flying gotcha. At the Freshman Prom Dick and Bar were out of breath from the record breaking dash down from Wellesley. The Junior Prom provided plenty of audience and the Winks met them with just as much music. Smith and Holyoke got the nod for some singing, but spring vacation was nearing and the Winks were thinking of Florida. For the third year, the Spizzwinks (?) ab- sorbed Florida sunshine and feminine hospitality. The Fontainebleau, The Bath Club, The Rod and Reel Club, Screwdrivers on the Beach ... all were enjoyed by the Yale Spizzwinks ( ? ) Uni- versity of Miami coeds provided moral ( ? ) sup- port as the Raunchwagon and the Red Raper , the trusty wheels, took much gas. Then it was over. They crawled back to Mother Yale. (She said she never missed them.) There wasn ' t much more to the year. Fraternity Week End and College Week End slipped by, the crowd cheered, and it was all over. Great Year! Good night, ladies, good night, sweet ladies, good night, good night. (?)

Under his leadership the 108-piece band marched through the season in high spirits. The band ' s half-time shows ranged from a sincere tribute to Lou Little to a satire of the flashy bands of its western brothers. The marching ELI con- tinued to highlight the shows as the bandsmen could hear the hearty singing of Yale men con- fident of victory. The Pops Concert held on Dartmouth week end was again a huge success. The Concert Band, under the direction of Keith Wilson, played an asortment of marches and modern compositions. Helen Boatwright and Blake Stern, accompanied by the band, favored the large audience with songs from Kiss Me Kate, The King and I, and The Most Happy Fella. ' Selections by the Banjo Club, featuring Sleepy Hall, brought the concert to a successful close. Before Christmas vacation the band invaded Harvard ' s territory as they combined with the Duke ' s Men in a concert at the high school in Swansea, Massachusetts. After vacation, members of the band led the singing and cheering at hockey and basketball games. In a more formal atmosphere, the band ' s annual concert in Wool- sey Hall on February 24 featured works by many contemporary composers. Besides performing at the outdoor concert series on the cross campus in May, the band made a long playing record in the spring, consisting of Yale songs and a variet) ' of light and serious works. Under Keith Wilson ' s guidance the or- ganization further developed both as a marching band and as a versatile musical ensemble. 235 kl.  B.ick Roic — Keller, Stackler, Mulim, Hallcr, Bartholomew, Jones, Morse, Childs.

DWIGHT HALL IT is usually the case that at some time during his four years at Yale an undergraduate makes his religious faith an object of serious concern. Matters of personal commitment, individual values, and relationships with others are issues which are inherent in the educative process. Day after day the gamut of plausible responses to these questions is articulated by men of substan- tial brilliance. The confrontation by an intellectual relativism forces the perceptive undergraduate to seek out the foundations upon which he can make a ma- ture affirmation of an ultimate loyalty. Dwigiit Hall recognizes both the existence and legitimacy of this search but at the same time believes that matters of religious commitment are personal in nature. Forsaking a policy of religious indoctrina- tion, the Hall seeks to facilitate the process of seeking and to channel it into areas which will lead to depth of perception and finally to com- mitment itself. Although Dwight Hall is a Christian Association, its doors are open to any 236 M r undergraduate who expresses a concern for re- ligious questions. The heterogeneous member- ship of the Hall possesses a common belief tii.it the process of uniting in worship, t)rk, .uid dis- cussion is a means whereby individual faiths are not negated but rather, deepened and enriched. Dwight Hall strives to play a significant role in the pursuit and cultivation of the truth by maintaining an extensive program involving the organization of study and discussion groups, the sponsorship of lecture series, and the support of an undergraduate periodical publication, Criterion. Believing that an intelligent presentation of the Christian faith is an indispensable factor in the search, the Hall promotes activities dedi- cated to the dissemination of the Christian mes- sage on the campus. It supports the annual Uni- versity Christian Mission; it participates in the activities of the Council of the Yale Christian Community; and it makes available facilities tor daily worship. Fundamental religious beliefs manifest them- selves in a concern for the welfare of others. They provide the motivation for tangible effort to relieve the oppressed and alleviate the suffer- ings of the unfortunate. In the area of social service, men of Dwight Hall work daily in the community of New Haven diligently toiling to raise the level of human existence and obliterate its inequalities. During the past year, four hundred Dwight Hall men worked in fifteen welfare agencies in the New Haven area, such as The New Haven Boys Club, The Y. M. C. A., The Yale Hope Mission, The Hamden Children ' s Center, and The Farnham House. The Hall joined with the Hillel Foundation and the St. Thomas More So- ciety in sponsoring a university lecture series, and it was instrumental in bringing the Rev. Billy Graham to Yale. Dwight Hall also played a sig- nificant role in uniting campus organizations to provide care for newly arrived Hungarian refu- gees. Out of this effort came the extensive pro- gram in the teaching of English to Hungarians in wliich many Yale men subsequently worked. This year marks the 7 5th anniversary of the foundation of Dwight Hall. Extending over three quarters of a century, Dwight Hall has created and maintained a tradition on the Yale Campus, a tradition within which young men of good w ill have united to deepen their faiths through com- mon search and to labor in the interests of others. 237 li.iik K„u Mi.

UNDERGRADUATE DEACONS THE Church of Christ at Yale provides tlie Yale community with an opportunity for Protestant Christian worship. The policy of the Church is interdenominational, and it is under the leadership and guidance of the Reverend Sidney Lovett and the Reverend Burton MacLean. Preaching from the Church ' s pulpit in Battcll Chapel are a variety of religious leaders chosen from the Yale family and the national scene. To assist in the work of the Church two boards of Deacons are chosen annually: one board is drawn from the faculty, and the other is com- posed of Senior undergraduates. The undergrad- uate Deacons, usually numbering between 20 and 25, provide the Church with a contact to the Yale undergraduate student body. The Deacons are responsible for a numb er of duties in the work of the Church. They usher at the majority of Sunday Services held during the school, and they also assist the Chaplains in the monthly Communion Services. In addition in the fall of each year, the Deacons visit with those Freshmen who are interested in joining the Church as student members during their years at Yale. The Deacons also participate in the Dwight Hall noonday services, reading the scripture lesson and delivering a short address. As usual the Board has tried to combine its activities with responsibility to the Church and the Yale community. This year, as in years past, the members of the Board have had many oppor- tunities to serve in other areas. Deacons have participated in other religious activities on the campus, including the various denominational groups, Dwight Hall, the Yale Hope Mission, and the University Choir. Some Deacons served on the Mission Committee that did the planning for the Billy Graham Mission; many were active participants in study and discussion groups, and worked on the various College Mission commit- tees. While the Sunday morning duties of the Board are neither many nor complicated, the busy Seniors of the Deacon Board have found a real satisfaction in the fulfillment of their tasks. The Board ' s functions as a group are limited, but as individuals working in many areas, the members have been able to witness in a small way to the Christian faith. 238 B.iii Roil — Scliwcttnun, Ltin Van I.isscI AtliLrtun Almund Fuuilh R ' Hi — Ljwiencc Cuopei.

As with all centenarians, there is some doubt as to its exact age, but tiie best evidence shoves it to be 102 years old. Dur- ing each of these many years, the Choir has played a major role in the religious life at Yale, singing at every Sunday morning worship service in Battell Chapel. Only three directors have served the Choir since it was founded. The first director, Gustav Stoeckel, held the position for 40 years. His successor, Harry B. Jepson, served as director for 45 years. Since 1939, the position has been very capably filled by Luther Noss, the present Dean of the School of Music. Members of the Choir are drawn from all schools of the university. In 1956-57 men from the drama, medical, divinity, music, and gradu- ate schools joined with undergraduates to make- up the group of 56 singers. Standards for en- trance must necessarily be high, because rehearsal time is at a premium. Every member of the Choir lias liad previous choral experience and does at the very least a fair job of reading the notes. Two anthems must be prepared for each Sunday morning service with but two half-hour rehearsals available during the week. Add to this the hazards of football week ends and the like, and it is reasonably evident why the members must have had experience singing under various kinds of strain and fire. Over fifty different anthems are learned and sung each year. These are selected from the finest choral literature of all periods, and an effort is made to represent all of the standard liturgies in the course of the year. Because of the comparatively small amount of suitable sacred music available for male chorus, much of the music sung by the choir is specially arranged for the group by Mr. Noss. On the second Sunday of May, the Choir takes over the greater part of the morning service, singing six anthems. This traditional Service of Music is the only concert given by the Choir. AH requests to sing elsewhere must be declined because of the difficult} ' of coordinating the ex- tremely diverse schedules of its members. Assist- ing Mr. Noss as monitor-librarian of the Choir in 1956-57 was Keitli Jones, 1959. 239 m.lnn. First Rou inulis, herrantc ST. THOMAS MORE CLUB THE St. Thomas More Club, with the Rev. Edwin B. O ' Brien, 1931, as chaplain, serves as the center of religious life f or Catholic under- graduates at Yale. Father O ' Brien was assisted this year by four MaryknoU priests studying at the Far Eastern Language School. There are daily masses at the St. Thomas More Chapel on Park St. Special attention is given in sermons in ful- filling the religious needs of Yale students. This year it was felt necessary by the chaplain and certain undergraduates to reorganize the Club and expand its activities on the student level. The response was most gratifying. A number of lec- tures were arranged throughout the year. Among the many noted Catholic laymen and clergy who spoke were the Very Rev. John J. Dougherty; Dom Aelred Graham, O.S.B.; and Father John M. Oesterreicher. The More Club, along with Dwight Hall and the Hillel Foundation, spon- sored the successful lecture series entitled What is Man? A publication was put out periodically with articles written by students on various phases of religious life at Yale, and social gatherings with similar organizations at various women ' s col- leges were held. Several students found great sat- isfaction in volunteering their services to work at St. Raphael ' s Hospital and at St. Joseph ' s Or- phanage. During Lent a retreat was held at the chapel under tiie direction of Father Thomas Glynn of West Hartford. At the beginning of the second term a weekend retreat was made by 30 students to the Trappist Monastery at Spencer, Mass. One night each week throughout the year classes were held for non-Catholics who wished to gain a better understanding of the Church. Discussion classes were held for Freshmen tiiroughout the first term. A series of discussion groups led by faculty members during the spring term were held in which theology, social teaching liturgy, mysticism, Church history, and philoso- phy were the topics. Edward Connors was President; W ally Inglis, Vice-President; and Jerry Donovan served as Sec- retary. Dan Montague, Bill Heizmann, Phil Faix and others served on the executive committee. 240 Buck Ryir— Kelley, Ro s, Hjrdic-, Muntague, Dowd, Ryan. Cabct. Keithlinc. Melhurn. ODowd.

THOMAS MORE CHOIR ' hilFiis KNOWN for its v ide repertoire of sacred music and for its valuable services to the Catholic chapel at Yale as well as to the entire Christian community of New Haven, the Saint Thomas More Choir has just completed a most successful year of varied duties and privileges. Constantly improving and growing in musician- ship, size, and spirit, the choir has had a mem- bership of 45 undergraduate students who sang for High Mass on every Sunday and Holy Day which fell during the university year, for a Re- quiem Mass on All Souls Day, and for Stations of the Cross and special services during Lent. The high point occurred during Holy Weei when the choir provided the music for six major services, including the Mass of the Presanctified on Good Friday and the Easter Vigil Service fol- lowed by the Midnight Mass of the Resurrection. In addition to its duties in the chapel, the choir has also had a limited number of concert engage- ments. These included a formal Christmas concert at Saint Rita ' s Hall in Hamden, a joint concert witii the Pius X Choir of Manhattanville College of the Sacred Heart in Purchase, New York, an informal recital at Saint Andrews Home for the Aged, and a spring concert at the International House. Heading the choir as director for the third year is Johannes F. Somary, who has ably man- aged to select and conduct the best in sacred choral music representative of every period with- out choosing anything that would have required more time or resources than were available. Some of the music sung included the Mass in B-flat by Antonio Lotti, Missa Brevis by Albert Jenny, the Mass in honor of Saint Leodegar by J. B. Hilber, and selected motets and anthems by Las- sus, Victoria, Schutz, Bach, Schubert, and Somary. Assisting Somary in the choir ' s administration v ere Edward J. Foote and Edward P. Nolan, organists; Lawrence G. Hunsicker, librarian; and Alvin D. Snyder, secretary. 241 s   . ' «l t f ' ' ' -■% % r t B.uk Rott — GoMbtrg, Segal, Climo, FelJman, Applcb.iuni.

HILLEL FOUNDATION ON a campus where religion ha.s too long been thought of as a separate compartment on the periphery of one ' s college pursuits, Hillel ' s pro- gram during 1956-57 strove to bring its activities into every phase of student life. That religion consists of more than just devotional services was illustrated by Hillel ' s part in the Yale Emergency Aid for Hungarian Students drive. The Hillel Forum was again the highlight of our cultural program. The fall series was inaugu- rated with Paul Weiss ' s controversial and provoc- ative talk on The Meaning of Israel . Other talks, planned by Forum Ciiairman Myles Beii- rens, were those given by such speakers as Hans Morgenthau and the Reverend Sidney Lovett. There was also an overwhelming response to the spring lecture series of What is Man ? which Hillel co-sponsored with Dwigiit Hall and the St. Thomas More Society. Small seminars in the Hebrew language, his- tory, and culture, given by Rabbi Fischoff and Dave Schimmel, continued to be a major part of the cultural program. Dave, a second year stu- dent at the law school, has been an assistant to Rabbi Fischoff tiiis past year and has been a constant factor in tiie growtii of the Hillel program. Ihe Sunday bagels and lox brunches were planned by Marty Fcldman and Dave Cohen. They were followed by student-led discussions, such as Larry Herrmann ' s talks to the Freshmen, and Don Edelstein ' s talks on conformity, and Judaism and the Law, Friday evening services were ably led by Hov - ard Needier and cantor Al Lovins. Malcolm Mitchell led the Yale Jewish Appeal to a record contribution. A very successful season of dances with Vassar, Smith, and Connecticut College was planned by Stan Rosow, who was elected Presi- dent of Hillel at mid-term. Don Edelstein, the President of the Founda tion, skillfully aided in the planning and coordi- nating of these many and varied activities. Hillel ' s contributions to its members can not be appreciated in terms of activities planned or taken part in. It is in awakening an interest and understanding of the Jewish heritage that Hillel ' s achievements must be measured. IT I ck Row— Cohtn, Edclstein, Sulzer, Ludwii;. Vouni;, Wcndt.

JOHN DEWEY SOCIETY THE spring of 1957 marked the start of a fourth year for the John Dewey Society of Yale University. Since its inception in February, 1954, the J. D. S. has served an important pur- pose. It has provided a gathering place for stu- dents of liberal mind, giving them an opportu- nity to discuss together and witii visiting experts. Nationalism and International Law, a study of the Suez problem, was the first of these pub- lic discussions which saw Professors Morgenthau, Rudin, and Sharpe criticizing American foreign polic) ' from three different angles. Continuing a series begun the previous spring the J. D. S. added another inspection of the issues underlying the political campaign, this time on the economic problems. Professors Lindblom and WaUich presented the views of Democrat and Republican, while visiting economics Professor Smith from Brown University gave the Socialist views on the issue. The Film as a Weapon of Propaganda, one of the most popular meetings presented this year, contrasted the British and Egyptian docu- mentaries on the Suez conflict. The meeting on The Engineering of Consent; public relations and public opinion featured Professor Engler of Sarah Lawrence who was questioned by Yale ' s Professors Wheeler and Blitzer. Among the other projects undertaken by the Society was an ambitious week end conference on American Foreign Policy and the Shifting Bal- ance of Power which featured panels and dis- cussions on the Western and Soviet Alliances and the uncommitted nations. Numerous experts from universit) ' , government, and labor circles were among those addressing the conference. Students from colleges throughout the East were invited to this meeting which was sponsored by tlie Student League for Industrial Democracy, the national campus organization with which the J. D. S. is affiliated. A very large number of J. D. S. members were also active in every aspect of the Yale Drive for Hungary. Maintaining its tradition of no heelers and no officialdom, the J. D. S. continued to prosper due to the efforts of all its members. Particularly ac- tive, however, were Robert Rifkind ' 58, who acted as coordinator, and Jess Lemisch, ' 57, treasurer.

Washington. Picking up steam the club members tore themselves away from the whirl of work and football week ends for the semi-annual Engineering Camp-out in northern Connecticut, held with clubs from the surround- ing women ' s colleges. Fall trips were made to the club ' s cabin, with square dances at Smitli, Vas- sar, and Holyoke rounding out the schedule. ' With the coming of snow a lust for skiing was satiated on the many winter trips, which culminated in the annual Snoski Winter Carnival iield at Pico Peak, Vermont. With the showers of April thoughts turned to hiking, spelunking, and the Lake George canoe trip. During spring vacation Mt. Washington offered skiing and climbing to some ardent members. The club was ably led by President Ernest Scheyhing, Vice-president Rick Broenniman, Sec- retary Dave Spang, and Treasurer Ben Eppes, who set the pace from camp to the ski trails. r « t S f 1 m HMHIHi yQuoS I IEIR « ' ' ' S ' H i H 1 fftJ i T I S 7 r T ' ! f ' . ► -iN %jr 4 i - 4r % 4(r h ' I II.

Delta Nu, the Yale chapter of the national service fraternity, operates on the campus as a catalytic agent, unnoticed by many who do not realize the effects of its ex- tensive service program. The active members of APO devote hours to planning and executing such ambitious projects as the blood drive, which nets more than 1 500 pints of the precious fluid each year. Alpha Phi Omega operates a non-profit book exchange- through which the student can buy and sell used texts at better prices than anywhere else in Neu Haven. The chapter also provides all the advan- tages of advertising for the student in the form of a bulletin board. Located in Yale Station, the bulletin board invites such notices as Rides to Smith, Tickets wanted, or Lost: fountain pen. Extending its services into the city of New Haven, APO assists local scout troops and wel- fare organizations by providing scout leaders and aiding the underprivileged. Although each of these projects is small in itself, the overall effect of the fraternity ' s activi- ties can scarcely be ignored. The Yale Daily Neivs called APO Altruism in Action. How- ever, this fails to do full justice to the organiza- tion, for behind this dedication to service is a unique bond of fraternity and leadership. By accepting respo nsibility to the campus and the community ' . Alpha Phi Omega continues to mold a corps of leaders that grows and improves w ith time. In the midst of these services, projects, and campaigns is a social program designed to foster the brotherhood that permits APO to func- tion as it does. The recent acquisition of a meet- ing room on the mezzanine of Hendrie Hall and the subsequent redecorating of the room point up the possibility of a wider scope of serv- ice and an improved social program. Through the mobile and dynamic efforts de- veloped and channeled by its ever-increasing membership, APO seeks to be of service to Yale, the New Haven community, and the nation. In addition, Alpha Phi Omega endeavors to in- still in each of its members that grasp of leader- ship, that awareness of duty that makes the APO man a credit to his college and to his society. 24s Schcctz, Tayloi, M.ii-s, Hcib.irt, W.u SAM THE Society for Advancement of Management is an organization of those students who wish to broaden their preparation for business careers beyond the scope provided in their studies. Or- ganization of the society was inspired by the conviction that in our economy only those enter- prises can endure in the long run which conduct their operations througli plans and methods whicli eliminate waste of human and material energies, which meet a general economic need as deter- mined by careful market analysis, and which encourage highest productive effort througli sountl human relations. Since the Yale ciiapter is sponsored by the local New Haven chapter of S.A.M. and is also a member of the national organization, the student has the dual benefits of an intimate vie of local industry and an opportunity for close personal contact with top level management through meetings, plant visits, and discussions. National affiliation includes a subscription to Adviinceil Management and participation in the National Association ' s programs in New York. Among the plants visited this year were Win- chester Arms Company, Sperry and Barns, Hull ' s Brewery, Acme Wire Company, and Sikorsky Helicopter. After the plant tours, members were invited to meet with management and discuss their problems, responsibilities, and rewards. These discussions frequently included plant or district labor union leaders to give a well rounded balance to the picture. The purpose of this phase of our organization was to serve as an effective medium for the exchange and distribution of in- formation on the problems, policies, and methods of industry and management. Professor D. W. Taylor of the Industrial Ad- ministration Department and faculty adviser to S.A.M., and Nathan Hamar, National Director of S.A.M., assisted greatly in organization and future planning. Professor Emeritus Thomas G. Spates delivered an interesting lecture on The Tragic Waste in Executive Development as part of the organizational meeting. Througli their participation in the club ' s ac- tivities, S.A.M. members have gained a sharpened perspective of business and a more meaningful application of their studies. 1 f 246 AIR FORCE RIFLE TEAM IN its final year on the Yale campus, the Air Force R. O. T. C. Rifle Team has continued its fine records set in past years. The team en- gages in matches with teams representmt; A. F. R. O. T. C. units from colleges and uni- versities all over the country. These matches arc fired at the respective institutions and scores arc then exchanged by mail. In addition to these postal matches, there are two national competi- tions each year. The William Randolph Hearst Match is held in the fall and includes R. O. T. C. units of all three services. The Secretary of the Air Force Match takes place in the spring. In one of its few shoulder-to-shoulder matches of the year, the Air Force team defeated teams representing the Yale Navy and Army R. O. T. C. units. A similar competition held in the spring found the three teams greatly improved, result- ing in a close and exciting match. This year also marked an attempt on the part of the Yale A. F. R. O. T. C. to initiate a new tradition. The proposed move would have estab- lished an Area A Rifle Match, bringing together sixteen teams from the New England area for the first time. Unfortunately, difiiculties in sched- uling such a match prevented the realization of the project this year. It is hoped that another unit will pick up the idea next year and will be able to carry it through. Under the tutelage of its coach, M Sgt. Albert Cote, the team practiced and fired its matches every Tuesday and Friday afternoons at the range of the Winchester Club. Operating this year with a fairly veteran squad, the team compiled an admirable record. Peter J. Haerle served as Captain during the past year, while Robert P. Rankin was the manager as well as the team ' s consistent high scorer. Other members of the team were Louis S. Pryor, Alan G. Carr, War- rington B. McCul lough, and Leon P. Chemlin. 1956-57 has been the final year for the Air Force R. O. T. C. at Yale. Despite a decline in enrollment during the past few years, interest in and support of the A. F. R. O. T. C. Rifle Team has never wavered. Throughout the years this team has been proud to be a representative, in a small v ay, of Yale, and has brought its share of achievement to Yale. 247 ! T. Barrin ton P.

This select group is the Guild of Yale Bellringers. Since few Yale musical organizations can boast so wide an au- dience, it is somewhat paradoxical that so little is known about the work of the Guild. Some people picture little men swinging merrily in the air from the ends of bellropes, while others, more scientifically oriented, visualize some vastly com- plicated mechanism set in motion by the touch of a single button. Actually, the bells are rung man- ually by depressing wooden handles which, through a series of levers, cause clappers to strike the stationary bells some forty feet above. Many students, supposing that the Harkness Chime is played only when they are sleeping or studying, may be surprised to learn that tiic chime is played four times daily on a regular schedule. The morning alarm clock ring at eight consists of the Scarlero, Italian Tune and a short hymn. At noon the campus is showered with a cacophonous clangor known to the bell- ringers as the changes. Two hymns and the familiar Largo from Dvorak ' s New World Sytii- phony follow. In the evening college songs and familiar melodies are played, introduced at six by Wagner ' s Bell Motij from Parsifal and at ten by several notes of a Gregorian Chant. The Guild ' s repertory is limited to those tunes which can be transposed so as to be played on the ten available bells. Using very free arrange- ments, however, special tunes such as Down the Field which can not be exactly transposed are also played, much to the dismay of the musically perceptive listener. While the Yale Community may recall with varied feelings their musical efforts, the bell- ringers, themselves, will remember those frigid mornings when they climbed the tower only to find the ringing mechanism frozen by sleet and the bells unresponsive, those speed records set wlien they ran from class to a noon ring, and, especially, that glorious evening after the victori- ous Princeton game when they gleefully ex- hausted their repertory of Yale songs in a twent} ' - minute concert. And so on graduation day the seniors ring their last resounding note, proud to have been a part of the Yale Tradition. 249 U_ H.ni Rou—M FISHING CLUB IN Its sixth year ot organization the Yale Fisiiing Club has grown to be a very active and interesting group. Besides having monthly meetings at Yale featuring films and interesting guest speakers, the club sponsors trips to local fishing areas around New Haven in the spring- time. Also, arrangements have been made to hold winter practice in the large pool of the gym. From a competitive standpoint, each spring some meets are organized with a group of New- England colleges including Amherst, Dartmouth, and the University of Massachusetts. The pro- gram usually consists of accuracy and distance casting, both with dry flies and artificial lures, and, if the water is available, a fishing division in which the number and size of the fish are also entered in the competition. These meets have proved very successful, and more are planned. Last summer the newly organized Salt Water Fishing Team, supported by the Yale Fishing Club, went on its first full-scale trip. Five under- graduate members traveled to Nova Scotia, the Florida Keys, and the Bahamas. Under the care- ful guidance of Coach Ed Migdalski, these mem- bers were taught many of the methods of salt water fishing. The success of this teaching was best shown when Captain Alain Wood-Prince caught a 650-pound tuna in Nova Scotia. Those who witnessed his handling of the fish stated that he played it with a professional skill. This catch enabled Yale to beat St. Francis Xavier, the host college for the meet. The southern end of the trip was marked with similar success, although it was never as spectacular. A similar program is planned for this summer. Membership in the Yale Fishing Club is open to all interested undergraduates, and its privi- leges include receiving the club bulletin which comes out six times a year, attending t he interest- ing programs of monthly meetings, and partici- pating in the various outdoor activities of the club. There is also a rapidly growing equipment stockpile, which is being provided by interested alumni members. All undergraduate members have access to this tackle, which is used for prac- tice as well as pleasure. With its expanding mem- bership and program, the club has a bright and busy future.

Yale ' s ski team this year did txircnuly well ag.uns!. both man and nature. The first meet was the Eastern Collegiate Class B Championship, which Yale won. After a shaky start in the downhill, Yale took third in the cross- countr} ' and won the slalom and jump. Cushman, Hogen, and Baldwin were fourth, sixth, and ninth, respectively, in the cross-country. Clark, Laird, and Everitt were first, second, and eighth, respectively, in the jump. This fine team victory gave Yale an A classification and made the team eligible for the A championships the next week at Dartmouth. By overcoming the tricky terrain of Suicide Six at Woodstock, Vermont, Yale took third place in the downhill and seventh overall out of eleven teams at the Dartmouth Carnival. Here Yale was competing against the finest skiers in this country and Canada, and succeeded in beat- ing the teams from Harvard, Syracuse, Toronto, and Middlebury. By finishing in the top eight, Yale retains its new A classification. The last four-event meet which Yale entered was the Williams Carnival. Here Yale placed sixth against top competition. For a non snow- belt college, this is a remarkable feat. The team was brilliant in the slalom event, getting third place, only five points behind Dartmouth. Yale ' s Laird was individually third in the slalom, only five seconds behind Dartmouth ' s Silver Medal Champion, Chick Igaya. This year ' s team, fortunately, was long on tal- ent. In the Nordic events (cross-country and jump) Bob Cushman, Ned Baldwin, Tim Hogen, and Digby Brown all were able to score in the Skimeister ( four events) at the B championships. The Alpine team (downhill and slalom) had two gifted sophomores, Jim Laird and Rolf Clark, who could and did on occasion beat all but the Olympic skiers in competition. These two men were ably backed up by Barrett Scoville and Cap- tain Everitt. Enough cannot be said for Everitt, who carried the triple burden of captain, coach, and sparkplug of the team. Bucking captain ' s luck all season, he showed the team the wa y to become one of the east ' s top ranking threats. 251 B.ni « - .— W CHRISTIAN SCIENCE ORGANIZATION THE Christian Science Or anizatidn at Yale University is formed under Article 23, Sec- tion 8, of the Manual of the Mother Church, the First Church of Christ, Scientist, in Boston, Massachusetts. Weekly meetings were held this year at 7.15 in Branford Chapel on Mondays during the first semester and on Tuesdays during the second semester. The Organization exists to provide a channel through which Christian Science may be presented to the L ' niversity and made available to anyone interested. The weekly meetings, conducted by the mem- bers, consist of readings from the Bible and cor- relative passages from our denom national text- book, Science dticf Health with Key to the Sci p- tiives by Mary Baker Eddy, and the singing of hymns. Tiie latter part of the service is devoted to the giving of experiences, testimonies, and remarks on Christian Science by the congregation. All students, faculty members, officers, alumni, and friends of the University are cordially invited. The officers of the Organization are elected annually from the membership and the Organ- ization has an advisor, also elected annual Iv, who is .1 member of the First Church of Christ, Scien- tist, New Haven. Officers for the past year were John Swazey, President, Fred Byers, Vice Presi- dent, and William Drake, Secretary. The Organization maintains a Study Room in the basement of Lawrance Hall where the writ- ings of Mrs. Eddy and other authorized Christian Science literature including the Christian Science journal. Christian Science Sentinel, and Christian Science A onitor may be found. In this room vis- itors and members of the University interested in Christian Science may find a quiet place for prayer and meditation. This year the annual Christian Science lecture sponsored by the Organization was held in De- cember. The speaker, a member of the Board of Lectureship of the Mother Church, was Harry B. McRae of Dallas, Texas. Through such means as the weekly meetings, the study room, and the annual lecture, the Or- ganization, now in its 32nd year at Yale, directs its activities, not only to Christian Scientists at Yale, but to all those interested in learning more about Christian Science.

LIBERAL RELIGIOUS FELLOWSHIP The brain is wider than the sky, For put them side by side, The one the other will include With ease, and you beside. — Emily Dickinson THE Liberal Religious Fellowship feels that the contributions of every thinking individual are invaluable in any search for Truth, vvhetiier it be the truth of fellowship, the truth of ideals, the truth of dynamic personal religion. The Fellowship ' s activities, planned with the guidance of the Rev. Wayne Shuttee, minister of the Unitarian Society of New Haven, concen- trated in three areas. The Fellowship organized a lecture-discussion series on campus. It held week end meetings with Smith, Wellesley, and Connecticut Colleges, participated actively in C. Y. C. C. meetings, and was represented on the Young Adult Council, a congress of leading young people ' s organizations of the country. The Yale Fellowship sponsored and attended three New England college-age conferences. The activity of most interest to the Yale Com- munity was our well-attended lecture series in- quiring into the social, political, and religious concerns of the searching personality. The first lecture, given by Dean Emeritus Edmund W. Sinnott, dealt with the integrated relationship of mind and body. The second, by Prof. Erwin R. Goodenough, dealt with religious conceptions as the projections of man ' s dreams and aspirations. The third lecture, by Dr. Milton J. E. Senn, in- quired into the psychological implications of the emotional conversion experience, with specific reference to the evangelism of Billy Graham. The series concluded with a forum sponsored in con- junction with the John Dewey Society. The past year has been marked by an expan- sion of program with an increased membership. 233 MORY ' S ASSOCIATION OFFICERS FOR iy57 Prei i e i Frederick D.

Sulzcr, Tvlcr 255 19 57 FRESHMEN JL y-% vt- . • i || _ m iJBTSe ' .v« . ) t -V 1 X THE CLASS OF 1960 WHO ' S that? asked the five hundred and sixth varsity Ictterman, some days after the Hammonasset outing. That ' s Janet, said the two liundred and twenty-eighth school paper editor. Yes, tliat s Janet, agreed the one hundred and tourteentli yearbook editor — immortal words, these. And who is that? asked the one liundred and seventy-eighth student council or senior class president, pointing at one of the several unusual individuals in the long line opposite their table. That is another Freshman, said one destined to achieve his first recognition upon the Yale scene. Yes, silently acceded a sixth luminary, one whose bright beams were to appear post-Yale. It was a scene in Commons, at a meal — any meal in mid-September — and timeless the setting and dialogue, in their own way. But this was the new creature; the Freshman class now at hand was the Class of I960, known fondly as the best pre- pared class. And who am I? might ask this new, intro- spective animal, housed in his new home upon the Old Campus, freshly presented into the ven- erable Yale context. If he asked, he might find himself to be an individual of some uniqueness, some accomplishment, some confusion, some pur- pose, and in all of these respects of some con- formity to the pre-established pattern. He is a new creature, and a vigorous, inquiring one whose interests lead into diverse fields, but like his predecessors he exists within a certain rarely changing, often inscrutable framework — the Freshman Year. Of this phenomenon, the Fresh- man Year, certain signs, certain memories, will alwa ys remain. Perhaps, it will be moving in on the first day; or perhaps, touch football in front of Farnam; maybe a snowball fight; a can of beer beneath the statue of Nathan Hale; TV in the Buttery; a new friend in Commons; a fresh vista in Philosophy 10a; a quiet moment in Battell Chapel; the opening play in the first Bullpup football game; sunbathing in the spring; or may- be that janitors cigar smoke. It does not matter what it is, this little note, for whatever it is it will always remain special and vivid, differently for each individual. But there is also the grander thing; the unique quality of this new animal — its essence, or its inner response to the introspective question. Class Spirit we shall have to label this intangible quality, one which is flighty and got at only from within, and which we cannot cap- ture and mount from without. We can, however, try to affix an outline of some definition; perhaps we can to some extent circumscribe the bounda- ries of this intangible quaHty, physically, by re- calling the events and names marked by this creature in his passage through his Freshman year — his first and onl) ' period of existence as a cohesive being. The first week here. Freshman week, was hectic and strange. To the prep schooler perhaps there was an elusive familiarity, certainly no more, de- spite occasional blase claims. For all, however, the Rheingold girls appeared, impartially glam- orous and removed. Photographs, tests, forms, and registration were the order of the day. Speeches, too: New Haven is a friendly town, promised New Haven attorney Herbert S. Mac- Donald at the Matriculation Dinner. Upon the social horizon appeared new friends and ac- tjuaintances, as well as a few introductions to faculty members, and meetings with Freshman Counselors. Strangers were myriad, and so was that new phenomenon, the dedicated student salesman. At the Matriculation Dinner, the first formal get-together of the new class, Yale ' s complex system of recognition moved early in the game to honor twenty members of I960 for scholastic achievement in prep school and high school. Those awarded regional scholarships, and those selected as recipients of other scholarships, were: Cilem A. Barrere, Jr.; Richard B. Collins, Jr.; Ciharles B. Cooper; Richard M. Dowd; Stephen S. Easter, Jr.; Robert E. Lewis, Jr.; Edward P. Milbank; Ambler H. Moss, Jr.; Robert R. Rick- nc-r; Matthew C. Riddle, Jr.; John K. Train III; Ralph C. Bryant, III; Ronald B. Campbell, Jr.; Edward J. Carleton, Jr.; Gordon B. Chamberlain; Albert C. Leisenring, III; Albert S. Pergam; James J. Karambelas; and Richard H. Minear. Freshman Week was immediately followed by the first full week of the academic schedule, a period in which the Freshman became acquainted 260 I with sucli courses .is Hn lisli 10, Science II and III, History 10, M.ith 11, Chem 12, and perhap,. Linguistics 20. Quickly succeeding the first week of classes was the first football week end, that o( the I ' Conn game on September 29. This open ing fciotbali game also marked the first in a di- verting series of mixers planned by the Fresh- man Ofiice. Arriving in time for the game and staying for dinner and a dance at the Payne Whitney Gymnasium were four hundred tintillat- ing bits of fluff from Holyoke, Vassar, and Conn College. This first, spectacular mixer, the largest in several years, was confused and ludicrous in some respects, and highly beneficial in others. The Davenport flag disappeared from the gym; a few girls stayed hidden behind seats in their buses and sneaked away later; there were some awkward moments of lengthly silence; but a great many people had a good time and got to know each other — and the Freshmen saw the Varsit} Football Team win its first game. The Freshman Office, well aware of the annual social dilemmas confronting eacli new class, helped out to a fur- ther extent by scheduling more mixers and dances exclusively for the Freshman. Mixers with Smith and Dobbs Ferry were held later in the fall; and on Dartmouth and Princeton week ends, dances were held in New Haven for the Class of I960; the first being an affair of two hundred and fifty couples at the New Haven Lawn Club, and the second an affair of six hundred couples at Commons. Early in the fall tiie exam controversy, the nev courses, and the deadline for warning grades oc- cupied the Freshman ' s academic interests. In other than the academic, he wandered far afield in iiis pursuits. A iiigh-caliber Freshman soccer team was enjoying an unbeaten skein ( eventually snapped by Princeton), and a highly potential football team was having its ups and downs, while in intramural athletics a strong South ag- gregation took the touch football championship, and, in the late fall, the hockey championship as well. To determine the spring term ' s tennis squad ladder, a tennis tournament was held, open to all Freshmen. The tournament was won by third seeded Gene Scott in an upset victory over first seeded Don Dell. Dick Horwitz and Sonny Howe were the semi-finalists in the field of fifty-four entries. Semi-finalist Howe went all the way in the subsequent squasli tournament, which he won in a victory over Rudley Anderson. In the squash 261 majority of the class. Tlie Freshman Ofhce had done commendably by its schedule of mixers; friends knew girls here and there; and then one also had his own female acquaintanceship. The problem was not so much finding the proper date, but rather of what to do with her, once she was here of a Saturday, football week end night. There are few choices; within the university the Freshman and his date could attend either a planned college dance, or an entertainment such as a Dramat show, or an informal party in one of the colleges. Outside the university there were the famous flicks, the Shubert, or again the pri- vate, informal party. Almost any other alterna- tives involved distance and required the use of a tournament, Jeff Tytus and Merrill Magowan were the other semi-finalists. In other activities, a New London regatta w as the scene of victory for Corinthian Yacht Club Freshmen representatives Ted Sheldon, Pete Dick- inson, Bill Sanders, and Sandy Lawton. Nine men were selected for the Freshman debating team in early October. They were: Harry E. Alt- man; Edward S. Cabot; John G. Davies; Jona- than Howe; Howard C. Richards; Peter H. Seed; Louis B. Tharp; Donald G. Tinder; and Jona- than A. Weiss. The debaters opened their sched ule with the Taft School, winning despite the slight hardship of proceeding at Taft by candle- light only; and continued their program with a victorious debate against Choate. Later in the year debates with Princeton and Harvard were planned. Political events, of national and local ( in the appearance of Stevenson and Nixon ) importance, occupied the Freshman ' s attention, also, as did the current campus topics. A small storm of con- sternation, voiced in a Neirs editorial and in a letter by Professor Paul Weiss, centered around the housing, or lack of housing, for the Fresli- men. At the beginning of the term space on the Old Campus was not entirely forthcoming for five New Haven Freshmen — a controversial situa- tion that was gradually solved by the unshaken Freshman Office. During this early part of the fall term, the Freshman began to become accustomed to his environment. It was not so strange after all, and he became aware now of himself and certain problems. The football week end and the whole social problem became very important for the It 262 car, which was officially out of the question. The Freshman ' s complaint, and an old one it as, was the question of dormitory hours. Upon the Freshman campus women had to leave dormitory rooms on Saturdays (except for the very special week end, like Princeton) by six in the evening, whereas most nighttime entertainment (save for the movies) in university or town began at nine, or thereabouts. The Freshman and his date had, then, three hours to kill, which was at best a long dinner hour. The Class of 1960 set about rectifying this old problem, operating largely through the offices of two very active groups, in conjunction with a .sympathetic Freshman Office. The two groups were the Freshman Activities Committee and the Freshman biweekly newspaper. On the Fence with ' 60. The Freshman Activities Committee, now in its second year as a representative group for the Freshman class, is a committee designed to han- dle the social affairs of the class, excepting the Freshman Prom, which is conducted under the supervision of a separate Prom Committee. Func- tioning also as a body of liaison between admin- istration and student, this past year the Activities Committee had been responsible for the arrange- ments of the Dartmouth and Princeton week end dances; for pep rallies on the Colgate and Prince- ton week ends; for supervision of the Prom Com- mittee elections; for the giving of a Christmas present to the Commons staff; for the class bulletin board in Commons; for studies of Freshman Orientation Week, the Buttery, and the Durfee Social Center — with a view towards improve- I ment of all three; for the newly instituted an- nual art show during Prom Week; and for plans for a spring week end. The members of the Committee were selected and appointed by a board of Freshman Coun- selors, following interviews with counselors and outgoing Committee members. Michael G. Dick- erson was elected Chairman of the Committee; and other officers were Reginald Bragonier, Jr., Vice-Chairman; James S. Campbell, Secretary; and Robert L. Church, Treasurer. The remaining members were John M. Allen; Paul H. Chapman; Charles B. Cooper; Donald Lenzer; Charles D. Lewis, Jr.; George N. Robinson; Fred I. Steele; and John K. Train III. One of the very first programs undertaken b)- the Activities Committee was a consideration of the dormitory hours by which the class members felt they were unduly restricted. The Committee petitioned the Freshman Office to change the hours in effect on Saturday evenings, emphasiz- ing that the Freshman and his date had prac- tically nowhere to go and nothing to do (aside from dinner) during the three-hour period from six to nine. On the Fence with ' 60. the Fresh- man paper, not only enthusiastically reported the progress of the Activities Committee in attempt- ing to have the hours changed, but also vehe- mently supported the group. . . . it will be a purpose of this paper, states an early editorial, to create a ' voice ' of the Freshman class, and an articulate voice it was in the airing of the Freshman ' s social grievance. Now what will be done by the Freshman Office or the Activities Committee is certainly a difficult and complex problem; writes an editor in one of three ar- ticles on the subject in the issue of November 2, but there is no doubt, that something must be 263 PROM COMMITTEE Bad Row — Suf;arman, Giam.itti.

The colleges arc allowed to host girls until eleven; a well-known institution in Cambridge allows (we needn ' t go further) ... It will be interesting to see what is done about it at Yale . . . In early December the long awaited deci- sion was announced, in an official memo from the Freshman Office, and on December 14, On the Fence was able to tout the banner headline, Whiteman Extends Saturday Night Deadline, and subhead, Girls Allowed in Rooms Till 8:30 ' An Experimental Step, says Dean. The Class of I960 had achieved a new step towards greater flexibility and personal responsibility in the Fresh- man year; a step, which though experimental nevertheless implied a faith in the Freshman Of- fice as to the growing responsibility in the ever changing Freshman. On the Fence, after expressing its jubilation ( Break out the brass bands! ) continued throughout the year in its biweekly appearance upon every doorjam in the Old Campus; and in its reporting of Freshman events, included an in- teresting sports coverage with a personal slant. Started by members of last year ' s Freshman class, tlic Fence was in its second year of publication as the Freshman paper, and this year its editors, managers, members, and contributors included Monroe Price; Larry Bay; Bob Church; Boris Shlomm; Greg Atkinson; Byron Bronston; Dave Welles; Richard Silverman; John Andrews; Peter Parsons; Gordon Chamberlain; Joseph Mathew- son; John Mitchell; Ed Smith; Peter Van Dine; Don Tinder; and others. Its editorials were usu- ■dly pertinent, raising subjects provocative of serious thought and consideration, not only to the Freshman, but also to the Yale student at large. Is an Honor System Feasible? is an ex- 264 ample of the issues raiscil hy this strong voice of the Class of I960. In the meantime, as in past years, the l- ' resii- man accomplishment had been also exhibited in other fields. The heeling of Yale ' s major under- graduate organizations was a program not open- to the Freshman until the start of the second term. The Yale Dramatic Association, however, through its subsidiary organization, the Fresh- man Dramat, provided the dramatically inclined Freshman with an opportunity in the late f.ill terms to indulge in the extracurricular. Ha ing selected three one-act plays, written and directed by Yale undergraduates, the Freshman Dramat produced its annual series of one acts, performed entirely by Freshmen (except for the female roles). These three productions ran, with critical acclaim, in early January, and among tlmse asso- ciated with tliem were John ( happie; Robert DAN CAN! Rickner; Bart Giamatti; Duncan Yaggy; Peter Chapin; Jim Hinish; Jerry Spiiler: Bill Board- man; Shaun LaRoche; and Jolin Jenkins in Facade, by James Franciscus, ' 57; Ron Moore; Ronald Campbell; Bob Borsodi in The Barge She Sat On, by Gerald Ayres, ' 57; Rolf Yerger; John Davies; and Rod Marriott in The Eiiipeioi of Biloxi, by Ray Sipherd, ' 57. ' While die Dramat claimed its devotees and trotted out its own special wares, the Freshman Glee Club and Chorus also found opportunity to shine, earning their usual success in their pro- grams of the deep winter and subsequent spring days. After an informal appearance on WYBC, the Glee Club launched its official schedule of eleven formal concerts with its performance m Woolsey Hall during the University Christian Mission Week, in connection with Billv Graham ' s appearance, and tliereafter tlie seventy-odd glee clubbers travelled in New York, New Jersey. Massachusetts, and Connecticut, performing at girls ' schools and colleges. The Freshman Chorus, designed to teach its members the fundamentals of voice and musicianship, also had an active season, its fifty members performing in connec- tion with religious functions as well as in con- certs at various girls ' schools. The Glee Club was led by Duncan Phyfe. Assistant Director was Bob Lindgren,, and Stew Cole and Bill Finn were President and Manager, respectively. The Chorus was directed by Goff Owen, Jr., and its officers were King Howe, President, and Peter Andel, Manager. After Christmas and the exams, three-hour ones, at that; after the occasional but inevitable silent withidrawal; after the active resumption of the heavily subscribed winter sports program, both intercollegiate and intramural; and after the annual flaunting of gym cuts, came the Fresh- man ' s opportunity to test his materialistic mettle by trying out for Yale ' s major extracurricular out- 265 lets, that is, in tlie lieeling comps now offered by the BANNER, the News, the Record, the Lit, the Scienlific, etc. Many a freshman hesitated and then subdued that strange urge to try one of these unique programs of endeavor. Many a Freshman reflected upon the long stringent liours involved in heeling, and too, upon the three- year commitments of time following the end of heeling and subsequent election to the board. As always, it was a matter of controversy, of mis- understanding, excitement, curiosity, and igno- rance; but also, as ever, large numbers overcame their qualms and plunged into the various heel- ing programs. And in most cases, it is safe to generalize, it turned out to be rewarding for both the parties involved in the heeling comp — rewarding at least in terms of experience, if not of understanding. The Freshman had by now begun, also, to have more of a voice in the Yale community as lie found himself and came to apprehend more of his own position and degree of importance. Letters to the editors of the Neivs betrayed a growing awareness of community problems and their possible resolutions. Of course, there were the occasional nut-letters, and certain regrettable incidents marred the Class ' s fine appearance dur- ing the year — the suspension of townie-baiting water throwers; some unfortunately necessary dis- missals; various GW lists; and that foolishness of the loud and utterly unfounded claims of a Freshman victory in the Bladderball contest, in which as everybody knows, Freshmen were not even participants. To represent the Class of I960 as it found its voice in the university proceedings, the Fresh- men elected four members of the class to the Undergraduate Affairs Committee. As the second term neared spring vacation, the I ' rcshman Prom took precedence over all other thought. Posters appeared about the university, the Old Campus, and in many eastern -women ' s lolleges, advertising the great event. Thousands sigiied and held their breath (some who were veterans of the year ' s first, four hundred girl mixer) while the mails mechanically plied their emotive missals. The Prom finally came and went amidst despair and jubilation. Lester Lanin and Pat Dorn played at the Prom on Friday night in Woolscy Hall, while on Saturday night, the Prom Committee arranged for Eddie Wittstein and the Shire-Fogg Sextet to play at two special dances at Phi Gam and Chi Phi. After the highly successful Prom, th()usand of the great uninvited gnashed their bitter teeth and wept dainty tears, eventually solaced only by newly growing hopes centered about the coming social attractions at Yale, College Week End and the recently instituted Freshman Spring Week End. Happily the Freshmen scattered across the nation, Florida and the Caribbean during spring vacation, returning later to face thc stretch drive ; the enticements of the two big spring events; the rigors of final term papers and c.xams; the complexities of college assimilation; and the prospects of the dissolution of the whole creature. The Class of I960 would always remain whole as such, but its period of existence as a cohesive being was over. We have seen the varied activity of the Class of i960 in our quick recapitulation. We have seen the various aspects of the being in question, and to its inner self we can assign certain tags. To pull out that battered but necessary idiom, we can assign to its espvit de corps a rest- lessness, a vigor, and a pride in self and accom- plishment. To go further and to be more incisive must be left to the man within; each can know his own sense of this esprit. We have outlined in descriptive terms, but now the individual class member of ' 60 is needed to further the extent of the written record. v- ' I GLEE CLUB Bud Riiw — Folgcr, Huges.

Although en- dowed with a nucleus of good varsity prospects, Gib Holgate ' s BuUpups had little real depth ex- cept in centers and guards, and the personnel shortage, combined with ball-handling difficul- ties and defective conversion kicking, helped drop the Blue yearlings to their lowest mark since the winless 1952 campaign. A tipoff that the ' 56 ' Pups might not be on a par with the unbeaten 1953 and 1954 elevens came in their 19- ' 7 opening triumph over Colum- bia, w hen the Blue apprentices stacked up 355 total yards but were not able to move the ball consistently. All three Yale touchdowns were jammed into a five-minute stretch at the start of the second quarter, with Tony Forstmann pitch- ing 33 yards to Fred Ernst for the icebreaker and worming over with the third, and Danny Feld- haus bursting 59 yards off tackle for the middle counter. The following vveek, Cornell shredded the Bull- pup defenses for 101 yards and three touch- downs in the first half, then weathered a 40-yard scoring drive engineered by Feldhaus and a 75- yard punt by Dick Sigal to nip the young Elis, 20-14. Innumerable fumbles marred the Bullpups ' 19-0 shellacking of Brown, though the fine offen- sive and defensive work of Captain Matt Free- man was a compensating factor. Freeman ' s bril- liant brawl running helped set up the first two tallies, and he chalked up the third himself on a four-yard plunge after reeling off a 39-yard in- terception runback. Dartmouth needed a 30-yard pass and a 23- yard run in the final minutes of each half to iiumble the Eli novices, 14-0. It was Yale ' s first blanking on the Freshman level in 21 games, but the Peagreens made it easy by limiting the Pups to 29 yards aground and 23 by air. A first-period clipping penalty, which erased a 63-yard TD sprint by Rich Winkler, broke the back of spirited Eli resistance and enabled Prince- ton ' s undefeated and previously unextended Cubs to capture a tough 19-8 decision. Winkler ' s dash would have put the Blues ahead, 8-6, but by the time Art LaVallie could sneak over legally in the final stanza, the Tigers had placed the verdict well out of reach. lUpups 56 79 70 51 6B 82 9 SB fJ K lM so 73 30 45 95 ;! 25 26 9 15 21 9 ' 8 3|l. it 91{B7|l7|4FJi ti5ot«5F|qn.qrI?pl7P ? «| ir:f «N f « ?• :•§ t m tr %f %t?

LaVallie had squirmed over from the one and Nick Kangas had tossed five yards to Freeman to pro- mote a 12-6 Yale lead at half time. Tackle Harry Olivar, strapping son of the varsity coach, and guard Bob Mallano head the list of varsity hopefuls for 1957, along with ends Fred Ernst and Pete Riddle and right half- back Freeman, who pilfered six enemy aerials and led the Bullpups in rushing as well. LaVallie set the scoring pace with three touchdowns, fol- lowed by Feldhaus with two TDs and three PATs. 274 SOCCER LED by Captain Gene Scott, coach Al Wil- son ' s Freshman hooters compiled a highly enviable 8-2 record. The Bullpups, however, failed to become what might have been the first undefeated team since 1954, by season-ending losses to Princeton and Harvard. With barely two weeks of practice behind them, the Freshman soccermen edged out their Exeter opponents, 1-0. A last period screen shot goal was the deciding play in this game, marked by strong defensive play by both teams. The Cubs remained undefeated and unscored upon by shut- ting out Newton High and Andover. During the following week, however, goalie John Meek and company were scored upon, but only as a re.«ult of a disputed penalty shot, as Yale downed the Huskies on two goals by Jack Salas and one by Gene Scott, to capture its fourth straight win. Still upholding a clean slate after an easy win over Wesleyan, the Freshmen came from behind with tliree second-period goals by Bunny Brago- nier and Jack Salas, to defeat the Orange College varsity, 3-1. In the rain and mud, the Cubs next assaulted the Watertown High goalie with four first half goals, and coasted to an easy 5-2 victory. The mounting pressure of an unblemished record seemed to agree with the team as they rolled to an impressive 5-0 win over Taft. Gene Scott led the attack with two goals and an assist. Riding on the wave of eight consecutive vic- tories, the Freshman hooters encountered an ex- cellent Princeton team. The ability of the Orange and Black to make the most of their scoring opportunities proved to be the deciding factor; for, although the Elis outshot their opponents by a ratio of three to one, Princeton ' s stubborn defense was too much for the home team as they lost their first game of the season, 4-2. On the day after Thanksgiving, playing in mid-January temperature, the sharp and aggres- sive Cantabs were able to keep the Yale team on the defensive most of the game and win, 2-1. Goalies John Meek and Roy Plum were kept busy all afternoon in spite of brilliant support from fullbacks Mai Black and Sam Bowles. Dave Ball finally hit paydirt in the final stanza for the only Yale goal of the day. Strong defense was the secret of this year ' s team ' s success as evidenced by the fact that only eleven goals were scored by its opponents in ten games. The outstanding goal-tending of Meek and Plum, and strong defensive play of fullbacks Black and Bowles and halfbacks Trowbridge, Moran, and Kirkpatrick, greatly supplemented the steady offensive play of Eder, Price, Meier, Chappie, and high scorers Scott, Salas, and Brago- nier, who scored an average of more than three goals per game. CROSS COUNTRY UNDER coach George Dole, the I960 cross- country team enjoyed a successful season, compiling a record of four wins and one loss. Of these wins, tliree were achieved in triangular meets, and the season was climaxed by victory in the Yale-Harvard-Princeton meet. The Freshman harriers opened the season by defeating both Brown and UConn on the three- mile New Haven course. Tom Cathcart, Ed Slowick, and Steve Johnson were the first three Yale finishers. Travelling next to Hanover, the Freshmen beat Dartmouth, 29-32. Cathcart and Slowick finished first and second against the Indians. On October 19, the cubs triumphed over both Brooklyn and For dham Prep. Cathcart and John Morrison came in second and third. The follow- ing week saw the cubs ' only defeat, a 34-22 loss inflicted by Fordham in New York. Scoring for Yale were Morrison, Slowick, Eric Walther, John- son, and Jon Blake. The Freshmen then ended the season on a tri- umphant note, copping Big Three honors by defeating Harvard and Princeton. BASKETBALL ALTHOUGH it showed promise early in tlie season, the Freshman basketball team fin- ished with an unimpressive record of five wins and eight losses. In its opening game, the Bull- pups trounced a previously highly rated Hill- house, 53-24, through the use of a man-to-man defense, coupled with quick and accurate passing. The following week, UConn ' s fast-breaking team won a hotly contested battle by several points, but the Elis were far from crushed. Sparked by Don Dell, high scorer with 18 points, the team defeated Wesleyan, 53-45, on the loser ' s court before a 2 point upset loss to the University of Bridgeport ended the fall season. Upon returning to college, the Freshmen, led by newly elected Captain Donald Dell, began to improve the quality of play, as was evidenced by the rout of Scarborough School, 81-38. After a slow start, they gained absolute control of the board and, consequently, depended only upon short shots under the basket to widen the gap. This victory was dampened somewhat by the loss of Dan McFadden, who was forced to undergo an operation for a recurrent back ailment during Christmas vacation. Nine days later, the Elis travelled to West Point only to lose, 72-58, to a strong Army quintet. Regardless, the Bullpups revenged themselves by drubbing Andover, 79-56 and Hopkins, 50-29. In the latter contest, Don Dell led Yale with 1 3 points, and the entire squad saw some action. Following this game, ti ic Elis went to Holy Cross to play one of the strongest teams in the East. Throughout the first half, the score was remarkably close and the shots were quite accu- rate. Even with 4 out of the 5 usual starters of the opponents absent, one of Holy Cross ' s less important players netted over 30 points. Against such overwhelming odds, the Freshmen began to fall behind, and although edged out by 6 points, they felt that it was their best game of the season. Unfortunately, this loss partially destroyed the spirit of the team. As a result, the Bullpups were overpowered by Columbia, Trinity, Princeton, and exceptionally weak Harvard. After McFadden was compelled to leave the squad. Captain Dell took over the scoring leader- ship, with Jack Timms maintaining a high per- centage of rebounds. Because of a large number of equally good players, there never was a start- ing lineup. Coach Vito de Vito beginning each game witii the five who had looked best in prac- tice. However, the main fault of the club was a lack of teamwork. At the forward spots, Frank Ball, Paul Loomis, and Duncan Ailing alternated with Bob O ' Connell and Bob Gould seeing action. At center, Don Isenbcrg alternated with Timms; Marty Gibson, Al Pond, Bob Bose, and Dell handled the guard positions. As has been stated, their record was not out- standing. But by paralleling the teams ' practice to those of the varsity. Coach de Vito and the Freshmen fulfilled their main purpose — that of giving potential varsity players the necessary ex- perience and a knowledge of plays used by Yale. 276 BASKETBALL TEAM B,ick fr «— Lipsher (MandKcr).

Vidal SWIMMING UNDER the tutelage of Coach Harry Burke, the Freshman swimming team completed its second consecutive season without defeat, ex- tending its victory skein to thirty-five. Captained by Foster de Jesus, holder of two national records and Ail-American in six events in secondary school competition, the swimmers opened the season by crushing a weak Hamden High School squad, 53-15. Hamden won the first event, the 200-yard medley relay, but the Freshmen swept the remaining events of the meet, easily out- classing their opponents. Two more local teams. East Haven and Hill- house High Schools, then bowed in quick suc- cession in two efl?ortless wins by the Freshmen. The fourth team to face Yale was Lawrence- ville, spoilers in 1955 of the cub swimmers ' one hundred and twenty-one meet swimming streak. Although the Freshmen took but four of the nine events, they were able this year by superior depth to contain the Lawrcnceville swim- mers. Quent Kessel won the 50-yard freestyle; Lawrenceviile won five of the next seven events; but then the Freshmen closed fast by taking the final relay with their team of Kessel, John Le Bourgeois, Pete Lusk, and Captain de Jesus, gaining a 41-35 victory. The BuUpups had no trouble with Brown, whom they overwhelmed, 55-22. In seven of the nine events, the Cubs took first place, and managed to cop seconds and thirds in those events which were won by Brown. The following Saturday Yale found tougher rivals in the Tri- angular Meet with Hotchkiss and The Hill School, the latter amassing a total of 59 points, only two less than the Elis ' winning total of 61. In taking four firsts, the Yale swimmers also set a pool record in the 200-yard freestyle relay. The four-man team, consisting of Kessel, Le Bour- geois, Lusk and Dick Kinkade, covered the dis- tance in 1:35.0. Sacred Heart High School followed, faring little better than it had the previous year against the Freshmen, as the Yale team swept to a 51-17 victory. Captain de Jesus set the pace for the Elis with his 52:7 clocking in the 100-yard free- style. On the next Saturday, Williston afforded the Blue swimmers a closer battle, with the score ending at 39-38 in favor of the Freshmen. It was an easier victory than the score would indicate, for the Elis took five of the first seven events, and then coasted with the second string, drop- ping the final two events. On the following Wednesday a hapless Cheshire squad succumbed by a heavy 50-18 score. Princeton, likewise, pro- vided little opposition, failing to win a single event, from the opening 400-yard medley relay, which Yale won in 4:18.8, to the closing 400- yard freestyle relay, which Yale won in 3:45.0. Springfield, next on the schedule, found the Freshmen unbeatable, being able to win only one event on the entire program, the 200-yard backstroke, wliich was taken by Springfield Co- Captain Dave Carrington. The remainder of the events were won by the Eli swimmers. In the final meet of the season, tlie Freshmen defeated a strong Harvard squad, 47-39, thereby capturing the Big Three honors. The victory in Boston over the perennially tough Harvards con- cluded another undefeated season for the Elis. 278 HOCKEY AFTER .1 promising ' beginning, tlie 1957 Freshman hockey squad failed to maintain its winning habit or to continue the aggressive brand of hockey that Coach Don McNeil ' s men displayed early in the season. The year ' s record was four victories, eight defeats, and one tie. The BuUpups began with a 9-0 romp over Choate in the season ' s opener. This game fea- tured the hat trick for wing Bob Schmidt, and thirty-four saves by goalie John O ' Kecfe. The aggressive Elis received six early penalties in the next game, and Dartmouth had the game on ice before Yale could retaliate. Two scholastic competitors, Taft and Andover, fell before the onslaught of the Blue skaters by 6-1 and 5-1 scores, respectively. In both games the defense of the Elis was the decisive factor. The offensive attack in these games was led by Captain Tom Crosby. Hamden proved surprisingly strong, battling Yale to a 3-3 deadlock in overtime. The sea- son ' s second loss came under somewhat strained playing conditions by a 7-4 score at St. Paul ' s. The key to the upset may be found in Yale ' s weak defensive play. Smith, Crosby, and Schmidt provided the Yale goals. Burrillvillc defeated the Freshmen, 2-1, in another upset. Only the efforts of goalie Jay Karle and the consistent work of defenseman Bill Beadleston kept the score in bounds. In the following 4-3 loss to Providence, Beadleston continued his fine play. Despite at- tempts to find a winning combination by jug- gling the first and second lines, Yale dropped another close one, tliis time to Brown, 3-2. Brown broke the tic, and won the game in tiie last minute of play. Yale scorers were George Robinson and Bob Schmidt. Anotiier comeback victory, this one by Princeton, again found the Elis caught short, as they blew an early four goal lead to lose, 8-5. A six-goal effort by wing Robinson, then led the Freshmen to a 12-1 victory over Hope High School, ending the Blue ' s five-game losing streak. For the first time since early in the sea- son, the Freshman team members combined ef- fectively, as they swamped the undermanned Hope sextet. Triumph was short-lived, however, as in the next game a powerful Kent squad eked out ,1 2-1 ' ictory in overtime. In the final game, against Harvard, the Fresh- men again built up an early, first period advan- tage, and once again lost control of the game, losing to the fast skating Harvard Freshmen by a 7-3 score. |s aH 279 FENCING AN assortment of thirty-five to forty novice fencers, tliree months of practice, and weekly tryouts combined to yield for Coach Al- bert Grasson a good Freshman team which achieved a respectable 4-4 record this season. The Freshman team, which was composed en- tirely of beginners, with the exception of Cap- tain Jake Powell, defeated Princeton, 16-11, routed Rutgers, 20-7, triumphed over Riverdalc, 18-9, and beat Cheshire, 21-6. It suffered losses at the hands of Columbia, 17-10, Harvard, 1 ' i- 12, and twice to Hopkins Grammer, 17-10, and 18-9. The loss to Harvard was particularly disappointing, for the Blue had defeated Prince- ton the preceding week, and was favored over the Cantabs. It is the rule rather than the exception tiiat beginners dominate Coach Grasson ' s Bullpup teams. Work begins in September, and the best fencers come to the top through a series of practices and tryouts. Among the promisin ; swordsmen were Steve Grant, Ned Foss, Jake Powell, Ted Chyiack. Jim Kar.imhclas. and Bill Henry. WRESTLING COACH JOHN ODONNELLS Freshman wrestlers got off to a slow start but hil their stride by mid-season anti finished with .i good 6-1 record. The season opened at Springfield with a prat tice meet, which siiowed a need tor work. Alter a 20-8 loss to Rutgers, tlic Blue won the final six meets. The Bullpiips defeated An ' l() cr, IV 9, Taft, 30-0, Columbia, 24-6, Brown, 27-5, Princeton, 18-10, and Harvard 18-11. Captained by Tom Miller, the team was paced by many fine wrestlers. At 123 pounds. Bob Kramer and Jon Weiss were standouts, while Jack de Labry at 130; Bob Schoenemann at 137; and John Bomann and Phil Hirsh at 147 also performed well. Alex Slaughter at 157, 167 pound Tom Miller and Paul Chapman, and 177 pounders Norm Baker and Scott Wakefield were successful in the heavier divisions, as were heavyweights Peter Seed and Dave Cross. The outstanding wrestlers on the squad journeyed to West Point to compete in an invitational tourna- ment of freshman teams, March 15-16. SQUASH PACED by Captain Sunny Howe, the Fresh man squash team completed a very success- ful season with a 9-1 record. A 5-4 loss to Har- vard in the final match was the only mark against Coach Jack Skillman ' s fine squad. Among the victories achieved by the Elis were an 8-1 win over Stevens Institute; a 4-1 victor)- at the expense of Andover; four shutouts against W esleyan, Dartmouth, Choate, and Princeton. respectively; and a 4-3 win over Haverford. The l- ' reshmen also defeated Episcopal, 6-1, and II utcd Williams, 8-1. To defeat perennially strong Harvard, Sunny Howe triumphed over his former Haverford teammate, Vehslagc, Na- tional Junior Champion. Depth was the major attribute ot this year ' s team, whose top laddermcn were backed by a number (if fine racciuttsmen.
