It did not take lonp for some to dis- cover that the pur| oscs of the considerate and courte« us upperclassmen who sat behind their tables or roamed through the dormitories were not altogether altruistic. The ori ;inal naivrtc faded cfuickly in the whirl of mcxiinp the chal- k-npcs. academic and stxial. of that first week. Soon the upperclassmen were drifting back, care- frcx- and rested after a summer away from the pressures of academic life. We returned to hnd that Oak Strc-et had piven way to the Connector ( it tcx)k some time to find out just w hat it did connect) and a number of construction projects. In the colleges we found sh ny new beds, a foot longer and with real maftrc-sses. A further sur- prise awaited us at the dining halls, where we found that the milk supply was now unlimited, though the glasses had somehow shrunk in size and we were not allowed to take more than one of tiitin at a lime. Letters from the college mas- ters over the summer had Ic-ssened the slunk of the new rule demanding that coals and ties be wurn to all meals, but not all were reconcilc-il to It. Howt-ver. after a few weeks most agrtxd that they didn ' t really mmd this new step toward civilization. The beginning of classes sewn ob scured these matters, as we settlc-d down to tin rcs|X)nsibilities of the year ahead. There were several noticeable changes on ilu academic scene. Visiting Cambridge professiir Dc-nnis Brogan reinvigorated the Political Science Department, suffering from the loss of several ke)- members wlu) left Yale for other positions. Maynard Mack, returning to his ShakcN|xare Ic-c- ture ctjurse. attracted several hundred students, engineering as well as Fnglish majors. The early days of classc s bridged the gap between summer frc-edom and the pressure of the first hour tests and packers. Gradually we were drawn once more into academic concerns, but not so exclusively that we lost touch with the pace of events in the outside world. The Little Rfxk crisis drew much comment, and Goxcrnor I- ' .iuhu,s turned up in the classroom as well as the Neivs editorial columns. Princeton ' s dismissal of Father Halton was anotiier event which attracted student atten- tion. On the last Saturday in September Yale beat UConn, 27-0, and many were convinced that this year ' s team had championship potential. October opened on a somber note. A new Connecticut liquor law, effective on the first day of the month, required that all persons over 21 had to obtain a personal identification card from the New Haven town clerk before they would be allowed to purchase licjuor. This legislative action foreshadowed later police crackdowns t)ver big football weekends which resulted in the arrest of a total of nine Yale students. Elsewhere on the New Haven scene, the Taft Hotel fought to keep out a new multi-million dollar hotel scheduled to be built in the immediate future. Local news was superseded by the revelation that on October 4, Soviet Russia had launched tl:e first man-made earth satellite. Science fiction sales rose and future space travel became the topic of most bull-sessions. ' While Yale shared the con- cern of the nation with the necessity of furthering science and the education of scientists in this country. President Griswold and Dean DeVane came out with strong statements warning against neglecting the liberal arts in the upsurge of scientific interest. This continued to be Yale ' s official position and that of the majority of under- The killlc jgiUiiil the Aiutii fhi. graduates as the discussion increased in intensity. The relationship of homo yalensis to woman- kind was the subject of much attention in Oc- tober. The Alumni Board, reviewing the film documenting Sterling Library, withheld it be- cause of too much boy and girl. The Council of College Masters showed a rather more liberal attitude toward se.x in extending the deadlme for women guests to midnight on Saturday eve- ning. On the same day that this decision was revealed officials of Smith College declared a quarantine because of Asian flu. Several sopho- Thc y.ilc A,-}m.il pr.nuhd u,„i. T t- V morcN in IruNtratinn attcmpti-J to break in Al- btrtus Magnus tmc ni lit. but were apprehended by alert New Haven piilitemen S«tnie o( the more ingenious student promuters tantalized us with numerous signs and advertisements pro- claiming that She Is Coming. Slie turned out to be a beautiful date for Har ard weekend, to be won, along with expense mtmej- and various prizes, by correitly prciliiting the stores of a number of football games. Hie Administration detided that the resulting publicity would not be particularly favorable to the I ' niversity, and the promoters reluctantly abandoned their scheme. Despite an inability to scmrc vaccine for the undergraduates, L ' nivcTsity health othcials did an admirable )ob of coping vMth Asian flu. Ray Tompkins House was set up as an auxiliary in- firmar)- and a special program whereby students could receive medical treatment in their riKims was efTuiently organized. Though the student body as a vvhole wc-athered the epidemic well, the Yale c mmunity was sluKked and saddc-ned by the tragic death of Rolf Yerger, 196(i, from flu lompl Rations. In the middle of the month came the an- nouncement of a $ViV,0()(l increase in the cost of construction of Ingalls HcKkcy Rink and a postponement of the expected date of comple- tion. After some dc-bate over abandoning alto- gether the daring Saarinen plans for the rink, officials dcxidc j to go ahead with construction. Elsewhere on the architectural scene, the Drama Sch K)l considered plans for a neu theater of revolutionary design, and a controversy develo|x-il over plans for the new women ' s dormitor) ' . The most widespread architectural s|xxulation, how ever, revolved around plans for the elevc-nii residential college. A scries of columns and .1 sjxxial architecture supplement in the tu stirred student interest in the matter. On the f(x tball field the Yale team managed to remain a strong contender for the second Iv-y League Championship through October, despite a loss to Brown and the controversial tic with Dartmouth; but the first Saturd.iy in November brought disaster in Philadelphia Grim and rcs ' lute. Yale readied for Princeton, In New Haven p.ilitics Dick Lcc- was winning election ti) a third term as mayor by a record plurality of 2 3,000 votes. The BANNER ' S last- minute entry, Lester P. Sludge, gathered a num- ber of write-in votes on the strength of his brilliant performance in the Bladderball Game, but the outcome of the election was never in doubt. The re-election of Associate Professor Blitzer of the Political Science Department to his alderman ' s post assured Yale of a voice in cit) government. Hundreds of alumni converged upon New Haven the following weekend to attend the annual convocation of the Alumni Board and to take part in the William Howard Taft Centennial. Mr. Chief Justice Earl X arren came up from Wash ' ngton to address the group. President Griswold took an active part in these and other meetings throughout the fall, attended banquets, received awards, argued for a revitali- zation of secondary education in the United States, and published a new book. In the Uni- versity Tradition. In the course of the fall, Yale undergraduates had the opportunity to hear a number of distin- guished visitors, among them theologian Rein- hold Niebuhr, anthropologist Margaret Mead, real-estate wizard William Zeckendorf, Cypriote Archbishop Makarios III, and ex-governor Kohler of Wisconsin. For those in search of good theatre the Dramat offered their outstanding production of Arthur Miller ' s The Crucible, while the Shu- bert had such successes as The Dark at the Top of the Stain and Time Remembered . For the music lovers the Woolsey Hall concert series brought to New Haven the Boston Symphony, Arthur Rubenstein, and Isaac Stern. Princeton and Harwird weekends were wel- J3(jjji«p ' W Nn iiii i; cimlJ it f ihtm .iir.ry. corned with enthusiasm by most of us. We antici- pated both the weekend festivities and some good football and were disappointed on neither count. In Palmer Stadium the Yale team played its best game of the season, and Tiger fans found them- selves staring at a sea of handkerchiefs as the final gun sounded. Back at the Bowl on the following Saturday the Elis wrote a new chapter in the colorful history of The Game. This smash- ing conclusion to the 19 ' 57 season proved the real ability of this year ' s team beyond question; at best, Princeton ' s Ivy League Championship was a hollow one. It was the Winterbauer to Cavallon pass combination that sparked the Yale Ttie Elh wen „ff m .,nuil-,r fM.t ..(« f,.n-.,« H .♦ iw (•fTciisc tliruu liout Jhc season, alon ; wiih Cokcr and Embcrsits.

After a few days away during Thanksgiving vacation, we rclurncil to the brief jxtukI of ilassc-s remaining before CJirisimas, many of us con- frontc-d by a sta;iy;erin accumulation of work.

Margaret Bowers was forced to comment that it was the worst in history. On a more serious note, Robert Pcnn Warren brought to a close a highly successful series ol cartx-r discussion mcxtin js with his talk on cre- ative writing. Fortified by the traditional Clirist- mas dinner in the eollege-s and in Cmnmons, we headed fe)r a three week vaeation, but the spcttir of exams and the more immediate lieadlines l. term papers forced many to pack a few bo ks We were jrc-eted u m t ur return to New Have-n by a 1-1 inch snowfall the highest in ten years. Skiers, frustrated during the holidays by tlic first grexn Christmas in years. began frenzied planning ft r the weekend Meanwhile. the rest of us tixik time to talk over the parties we attended, the friends we saw, the miles we walked for the post ortice. The Cilcx- Club had enjoyed a sucic-ssful tour of major Fastern cities, but there was nothing but bad news in the spirts scene. Tlic baskdball team had ilroppeii four straight games on their Wc-stern trip, and the hcxrke} ' team had finishc-vi a ilisapj-Hiinting fourth in the RPI Tournament L ' p|xrclassmen received with dismay the an nouncc-ment that the faiulty had voted to hoUl ilepartmental exams in 19 immediately after spring vacation instead of at the end of the term 5 M «r ' i w. Tninibnll N ghl ,?i- It was claimed that this change would permit tougher exams, w itli the provisions that they could be retaken later if failed, and that students receiving a grade of superior would be ex- empted from final exams in their courses. Yale continued to hold its own in the scramble for post-graduate fellowships as seniors Howard Needier and Philip Rittcrbush won Rhodes Scholarships, Previously, Donald Crothers and Jonathan Barnett had been awarded Clare Col- lege fellowships. The excellence of Yale ' s Drama School was recognized in the appointment to represent the United States at the Brussels World Fair. It was announced that their production would be J. B., a new verse play by Archibald MacLeish, to be premiered at the LInixersity Theatre in April. Exams were soon upon us, and the libraries were filled for the first time in the school year. For those who found time to flick in the lag between exams, the Lincoln offered the incredible Brigitte Bardot in AiiJ GoJ CiealeJ Woiinvi ( total running time, nine weeks ) . Horrt)r and sex proved a winning combination as the Para- mount drew great crowds with The Monolith AUnistti- and Lon-shuw of the Amazon. For the most part exam time was a pretty steady grind and everyone welcomed the free weekend at the end of the period. The following Monday we headed into a new term. Freshmen were con- fronted with the decision of whether or not to heel; seniors began to realize that the last of their bright college years was rapidly slipping away. IV ill pupiil.tnly. The attention of many undergraduates turned to science in the early days of the term as a group of distinguished educators and scientists assem- bled at the Yale Law Sciiool to discuss Amer- ica ' s Human Resources to Meet the Scientific Challenge. After a day and a half of discussions and assemblies, the conference adjourned on a note of serious concern while the Netcs expressed the editorial liope that this concern would take the form of positive actittn. Of great interest to the Yale community was the announcement of retirement after 2 5 years as University Chaplain of the Reverend Sidney Lovett. Lfncle Sid had never turned away a laddie with a problem and had made life more endurable for many with his good-natured humor. Seniors dedicated their classbook to retiring Sterling Professor of History Ralph Gabriel, and undergraduates paid him the tribute of turning out by the hundreds for his final lectures in tiic American Thought and Civ- ilization course diat lie initiated in 1931. Impressive wins over Princeton and Dart- mouth by the basketball and luvkey teams stx-meil to mark a turning | int in the fortunes of both. Brown proved a double villain, however, crush- mj; us in basketball and hockey on successive nights, and both teams had to settle for second place in the Ivy League. With a lopsided victory- over Navy, the swimming team was running its streak of successive wins past 160, The scjuash team was smashing its way through all opjxisi- tion, aven in last year ' s bitter K ss to Nav overwhelming a strong Princeton team, and K ' in Harvard to finish the season undefeated. The incoming bt ard of the Seu i showed promise o( ori mality with a spaial supplement on stxondar) ' education and a critical examination of the ixrsonnel and practices of the Political Science Department. The latter, based on a stu- dent |xill. cundudexl that a clian e is needed if the Department is to attract substantial student interest. Those who predicted a hard winter back in the early fall were vindicated by the reat bliz- zard. When snim stopjxd falling. New Haven had aicumulated a total of 1 inches.

Life went on as usual the next day. however, with the exce|Mion that snowlx unil dates ap|xrarcd in classc-s and a few tcaihers thought the lon trip in from Hanuien or Bran- ford was definitely beyond the call of iluly. ' alies nude their way back slowly from Wcllcsley anvl Vassar and more slowly from the Virginia irN schools. Hie weeks before spring; vacation were irowdc-d with events and s|xakers. anil most of us dcxided to Id all that reading slide for a while. Junior Prom came in l c-l ruar) ' , tin the last day of the month, and hundreds of couples were entertainetl by the music of Ralph Marteric and an assortment of Yale roujis. Taking their theme from Mane ll s To His Coy Mistress, the Prom Committee nmtrasted the courtly ele- gance of WiK)lsey Hall with the simple sen- suality of Commons. A wc-ek later the frc-shmen brought Lc-s El art to Woolsey Hall for another outstanding P rty. The Dramat contributed to the entertainment on both weekends with their sec- ond major production, Thornton Wilder ' s The Skill oj Our Teeth. The leiturcs of theologian Paul Tillich, ivcn under the auspices of the Council of the Yale f hristian Community, dominated the Yale scene ilie two wcxks prcxcdin sprin j vacation. The enthusiasm with which he was received was another si n of a rowin inlcllci tu.i ' ■■■■■ ' • II anmn i; undergraduates which made this year a good one for those student organizations special- izing in Truth. Hillel was more active than ever, drawing fine speakers from various Yale depart- ments and bringing some distinguished visitors to the campus. The John Dewey Society continued to hold excellent forums on controversial issues. Despite the disappointing results of the highly- publicized Kendall-Weiss debate, it is to their credit that they could arrange such a meeting. Kendall was easily the most controversial figure on campus this year and was given the oppor- tunity to voice his opinions frequently. When Neirs editorial criticism of him reached a fever- pitch, William Buckley leaped into the action with a vigorous editt rial in the National Re- view whicli he reprinted as an advertisement in the Neirs. In the publications field, the L t. floundering financially and increasingly losing touch with the undergraduate body, weathered an internal war over the election of the new board to emerge with new strength. Cr teiion grew in circulation and influence, stirring considerable interest with its satirical study of the Yale man ' s academic mores entitled, The Academic Game, or How to Blufif Your Way Through College. The Reco)J ' par ody issue. Playboy, spoofed a widely read gentle- men ' s magazine. And then there was Peanuts. Charlie Brown won the sympathy of every Yalie. ■Vacation time came, and singing groups, jazz bands, the lacrosse and golf teams, and all others who could spare the necessary funds headed South. This year ' s vacation was shorter by four da) ' s than last year ' s, and in practically no time we were back in New Haven. With the coming of warm weather, it was tempting to join the sun-bathing cults dedicated to whiling away spring afternoons lying in the courtyard drinking an occasional cold beer. Many of us did rouse ourselves to hear some of the varioLis speakers. Those in Timothy Dwight were able to talk with visiting political scientist Harry Truman, here on a Chubb fellowship. The Dramat attracted large crowds with its brilliant musical adaption of C)i t:io lie Bergeiiic and made plans to take the show to other cities. College weekend came and jxissed, all too quickly. Even exams went by; and before we knew it Have a good vacation! was the com- mon v (ird. We eagerly scattered to our various summer pursuits, and the Harkness clock sedately and inexorably njntiuLied on its way. asaaroEjii 10 5 S ) MJ: HAWIiR FACULTY A.

His sarcasm, humor and disarming casual approach make him one of the most popular figures in the Economics Department. By infusing his personality into elementary discussion groups for sophomores, Mr. Broude makes a difficult and ordi- narily dry subject take on more life and human interest. As a Fellow in Davenport, he always welcomes undergradu- ates in his office. The words stimulating, sensitive, and percep- tive seem, for many students, to characterize RICH- ARD B. SEWALL, Associate Profe ;sor of English and Director of the Scholar of the House Program. He is one of Yale ' s vivid educational personalities whose impact upon undergraduates has been great. His militance against big time extracurricular ac- tivities has made him a controversial figure on the campus, and he has always been an outspoken advo- cate of the value of a liberal arts education. Mr. Sewall ' s personal magnetism lends weight to his campus reputation and to the popularity of his well- known course on tragedy. 192!, It no 1 « t ' - HENR ! ' C.

TRKNCH. first master of a resi- dential tollc c at Yalt. suggested that the purpiwe of the lollcge system was to combine the academic advantages of a large university with the bc-nefits of small community living. The college, it was hoped, would be able to dcAelop a unity of purpose and fcxriing ' among the assembled scholars. Various ex|xrimcnts have btxrn conducted to realize these aims. and. we of the class of 195K were the first to be IBMd into our homes away from home. Having been members of the Berkeley community for thrc-c years, we can attest to the success or failure of this experiment. Many managed to take full advantage of the facilities of a large university, ptssibly because H2 the pniximity of Berkeley to the hbrary provided them with a constant reminder of their intel- lectual responsibility. Berkeley ' s finish in the Gimbel Cup standings and the election of Jack Arena, Maury Holland, and Dave Kudzman to Phi Beta Kappa proved that not all of Berkeley was impervious to the academic atmosphere radi- ating from the library. The University athletic scene provided a fitting backdrop for the basketballing of all — almost everything Captain John Lee and Tom Sargent, while Captain Dick Starratt and rink rats Ault, Beadleston and Pollet contributed to the ctforts of hockey team. Cauliflower Ted Reese grunted and groaned on the wrestling mats, and Jack Bogan enjoyed the pastoral serenity of the cross- country course. The university at large was made more char- itable by Charities Drive Chairman Juke Begien. and more relaxed by the harmonies of Sherm Durfee and Bart Miller, who reached the pin- nacle of Yale songdom crooning for the Whifi s. Begien ' s charity affected Sid Unobskey, whose Bermuda Clubs of America provided thousands of eager collegians with ten exotic days on that sunny isle. This great entrepreneur ' s organiza- tion, originating in a tiny room in the North Court, soon grew to nationwide status, and Sid became Yale ' s gift to the Bermuda Trade De- velopment Board. Not to be limited to dealing with one tiny island, Jim 7helpley and cohorts Tony Lapham and Jim Hoge delved into inter- national business, and their Poreigti Opeid :o-:s 1958 proved to be an outstanding addition to Yale ' s independent undergraduate publications. To be a successful college, however, Berkeley had to be more than a resting and eating place for jocks and moguls, and the degree to which it provided the benefits of small community liv- ing is the best criterion for evaluating Berkeley ' s contribution to our Yale careers. The college community showed a strong tendency to atomize r . or 1 ' .ten T into iliqucs. wliicli. jIiIiou Ii m)t cxilusivc to tlif ptnnt of i nonn tlic otiicr mcnihcrs of the lollc f, icrtainly Jtiraitcd from any unity of fcxlin anii purpose tlut m: ht luvc been tre- ateJ. The arii us s[XT.ial interest ' groups that existed in our ilass were tlie result of birds of a feather (liKkm together, and were usually defineil by fraternity and other extraturritular alie ianies. The diminishing of Berkeley spirit IS illustrated by the markcxl imrease in the number of fraternity members in iHjr tiass as lompared with the ones preii-din . llie lar - s«.ale migration of Berkeley men toward other sounes of MKial activity had a debilitating cffeit on the ' esprit of the college, by stren ' thenin the forces that had led to the formation of small, relatively selfsatisfu-d groups within the college. B centering our s« iial life on the row or Hill- house Avenue, many of us never fully tcKik ad- vantage of the college dantes. although the) ' proved to be highly entertaining for those who attended them this year. Tlie demand for social tickets did not result in the shattering of previous sales records, for a pro[x)rtit)n of the college iiad chosen to scxialize elsewhere. Our class had started a trend that incoming members of Berke- ley were encouraged to follow, thus adding ' •- the drain on any existing esprit de college But the college did offer us many of the a-; vantages of small community- living , and there were forces m action which attempted to lend cohesion to the variegated elements that were present in our class. Perhaps the strongest of these forcc s of cohesion was t)ic Master, for T. C. gave unselfishly of his time and efforts in an attempt to make Berkeley more than a dor- mitory. Entry parties, carol sings, and other soirees exposed the various groups to his affable harm (and the intimations of sage), but the ense of belonging to Berkeley that he may lavc stimulated in his living room was often all to readily lost upon returning to the womb of he clique. As protcxtor of the faith, the master iielc-d out punishment to the disbelievers who ittempted to eat without coats and ties, and tried ■ ) set an example of dress for all to follow. It Ae were not punishc-d for emulating his attire, e were, strangely enough, reprimandc-d tor -imulating some of his other characteristics, as liose wluise rcK)ms rc-semblc-d the Master ' s li- irary will know. But the iKcasionally assumed lole of disciplinarian did not diminish the Iriend- ••hip and resptxt he had won by contributing incalculably to the advantages of small com- munity living. Old Tennis Shoe . a chemical reaction illustrating the Masters knowledge ol the cKcult sciencc-s. was an integral part of the fall dancc-s, aiding in the creation of Berkelc-y spirit at thc-se functions. A rc-s|x-ct cd friend and adviser. Mr. Mendenhall was. for many, llie mam advantage gained by living in Berkeley. Tlie Master s administrative chores were light ened by Mrs. Barnetto, his sctrciary. who also managed to provide sustenance for the late sack- ers who en)oyed the mid-morning coffee hour. Her efforts were scxm replaced by a vending machine. howc- ' er, and automation had tri- umphed again. The administrative hierarchy s next |iosition of authority was assumed by Chief Aide Dave Kudznun, ably assistc-d by Librarian Harr Harlow and Athletic Secretary ' jim Whelp- ley. To the Kudzman-directed Black Gangs went the thankless task of picking up the pieces after Old Tennis Shoe, and Berkeley spirit has felt their effects at the numerous social events. The brain trust responsible for planning thc gala events which highlighted Berkeley social life was the Bruce Fritch-led Master ' s Council. Inspired by the oratory of Ron Sohigian and Boh Sigal, this august group sponsored three fall dances, and the Anti-Inhibition Ball ' in the winter. The Master ' s Council members were more than party-planners, however, for they also made positive attempts to remedy the lack of student- Fellow relations. Buttressed by informal meetings in the music room during coffee hour, the Fel- low of the W eek program enabled some of the students to come into contact with the fellows living in the college. The opportunity to meet with a Fellow for dinner and later conversation in the lounge illustrated the possibilities of stu- dent-teacher relations in the college, and if this program is continued it should increase the advantages of small community living avail- able to residents of Berkeley. Informal gaming enjoyed unprecedented popu- larity this past year, and the North Court of touch-footballers rivalled the South Court knife- throwers in time spent perfecting the intricacies o f their respective endeavors. Regrettably, no mixture of the two sports was possible — could you play football with knives? — for if they could have been fused into one game, the sense of unity in Berkeley would have definitely in- creased. Tlie winter winds drove the combatants inside, and the various factions found the check- erboard as an outlet for their competitive zeal, as well as a means of providing an opportunity to become acquainted, in a sportsmanlike way, with other members of Berkeley ' s senior class. Check- ers rapidly became the prestige sport of Berkeley, the result being a tournament to decide the checker champion of the college. The final results have not been otffcially released at this writing, but restauranteur Pete Clark ' s dramatic perform- ances established him as the sentimental favorite. The Case-Aubrey poker table afforded another source of diversion for the competitive minded, and Master ' s Council representative. Bob Sigal, endeared himself to his constituents through his philanthropic support of the game. The inter-college athletic system proved to be one of the more successful ways of stimulating Berkeley spirit, and through pla ' ing together on -arious teams, the members of the dift ' ercnt cliques sometimes managed to transcend their cliquishness. The football team, captained by Jake Jacobson and coached by Books Conway, although not the scourge of the league, managed to compile a 2-2-1 record. The senior-laden squad was sparked by the line play of Art Neyman and Eliot Joslin, the pass-catching of Frank Glue- Fingers Wimer, and the backfield work of Bob Coburn, Richie Case and John Payne. Coach Conway and Captain Jacobson formed a deva- stating Mr. Outside and Mr. Inside combination, but failed to produce a constant scoring punch. The soccer team, led by Captain John Stetson, had neither a winning nor losing season, com- piling a 3-3-3 record. Despite the efforts of Dick Jones and Bob Higgins ( Clare Scholars imported from England to bolster the Berkeley boosters). Jack Bogan, John Jaspan and Tom Hahn, the team suffered from the same lack of scoring 85 puncli tliaJ alTtvtcJ the ridden..

Berkele-y s elK|ue-s were for a time dissolved, and prove-d that Berkeley spirit ' was not altogether extinct. The ' advantage of small communit) ' living were available to the non-athlete-s as well, and the productions of the Berkeley Dramat provide-d another mexting ground for Berkeley tale-nt. Chief player Tom Hahn lostarred with jack Larkin and Dave Lindskog in an attempt to bring Broadway to the Berkeley Dining Hail. Bnxjks Atkinson missed the fall prcxluction of A Sleep of Pmoners. but Berkeley drama critic Eliot Joslin praised the production, e-spetially the sets. In evaluating Berkeley ' s effect on our Yale care-ers and its fulfillment of the proposed pur- pose of a re-sidential college, one fact is obvious. The benefits derived from the small community living ' provided by the college were dirextly proportional to the energy poured into the col- lege. For those who chose to concentrate on ictivities outside of the Berkeley community, the .ollege was little more than a dormitory, where they cultivated the friendships of the numbers .if the clicjue to which they belonged. Among the-se other direxted groups, cheques were forme-d. and the sense of a unity of purjxise and feeling extended no further th.m the limits ot a mall group of friends. Those who fcKused their extra-curricular activities within the college shared a certain college spirit th.it was not enjoyed by the individuals who had more fully Lxploited the extra curricular advantages ot the imversity. The challenge facing Berkeley in the luture will be to provide some means of eliciting the sup|x rt of those whose extracurricular ac- tivitie-s tend to draw them away from the col- lege. If this problem is insoluable. the residential college can never be more than a glorified hotel for many of its members, for incoming sopho- m.ire-s cannot be ex|xvted to provide the college spirit lacking in certain segments of the upper two classes. But with a Master willing to con tribute to any revitahzation of college activities, and the existing [xssibilities of s Kial and aca- demic benefits to be gained from college life. the problem is not insurmountable. The class of 195K did not contribute as much as it could have to the college and therefore did not enjoy many of the advantage-s the college could have offered, but by realizing that there is a grat difference betwexn the real and the ideal function of a college, wc might |X)Ssibly help to strengthen Berkeley by fcKUsing attention on the weaknesses 86 BRANFORD by ALvc Alain Fiauenjelder AS you walk throu li the entrance of Bran- ford College across Linonia Brother ' s Court, and through another archway into Hark- ness Memorial Quadrangle, you gradually be- come aware that you have entered another world, a world which seems miles away from the cacoph- ony of New Haven traffic and the hurly-burly of city living. For it is quiet. Here is an imposing silence that is as much a part of the quadrangle as the giant elms which break the lawn ' s regu- larity or the shadows which cling to every stone 87 pf ' = ' of the massive Tower. Whether it be tlie brootl- in ijuiet of November day when the rcy skies run hurnevlly past the lii h roofs, or the |xaieful stillness of an April mornin j wlien the Tower breaks the sunlight into lon shafts as it falls aion the flagstone walk, it is always there. There are no rauious s«Hjnds t disturb it extept an occasional cry which filters tlirouj h H.irknt-ss Memorial Gateway from the Old Cam- pus. There are no lacrosse ames on the immacu- late lawns, no frisbcx- missilc-s raze the di nilied stones. As you limk down the Ic-n th  if the cjuad you become aware that you are surrounded by innumerable windows, walls of Gothic leaded windows which are small and lc-1 in a minimum of sunlight, windows which sixm to mask their rcH)ms ' (Kcupants. and preserve the slillnc-ss of the cjuadran le. ' et you know that all cannot be peace, that behind those windows stand the men of Bran- ford, ' ou know t«Mi that lliey are as much a part of Branford as the brown stone and fimn lawn. And you wonder wiiat manner o( men li i here amon the gathered silencc-s. They are a curious brc-c l unlike certain other college men; they d not collcxt in groups; the have no general identity. Togetherness is a sl gan which has no meaning here. Tlicy are ir dividuals who rc-sist collcxtivization. In a ui. versit)- where classc-s. sports, and scxial activiti are oriented towards tlie group. Branford oriented towards the individual. Whether tl Branford mans desire to be- himself is inhcret in him before he enters the coHegc or is a. quired while he is here is hard to tell. Whcthi his intense need for privaq- is a reaction again the lack of it outside or simply prompted by tl general inaccc-ssibility of his fellows, one can only spcxoilate. But the fact remains; the lowermaii IS rarely found in a group. He can be seen at tile dining iiall or in the television room which ;l)oins the snack bar. where the smells of the .nil and the shouts of Wyatt Earp draw him. It scxms. from tlie very walls. But most often lie IS by himself or with friends in his rcHim. which IS usually at the iie-ad of a winding stairway or liidden in the corner of one of tlie smaller courts. A ' lien lie is in his riKim you see him as he is. uid in everii ' rcKim there is a ditferent man. a ifTerent attitude, a ditferent purjsose. In a suite which boasts a living rcKim as big l Dean Buck ' s, tlie tradition in Branford of long uid steady cardplay is prc-served. Around a low table are grouped players of various numbers dejxnding on the game. Whc-ther it is brulge or bcxiray, John Murray is there, as is Al Lazarus. Strat Jone-s. his Stetson pulled low over his eyes. IS there tcH) doing a fair imitation of Maverick. Al Blanchard sits nearby; as snack bar magnate, he IS banker of the game. Since he does not s|x:ak English, but a curious northern dialect prevalent around Bangor, the players s|Hak to him with signs.

In a dimly lighted rcMim not far below. dra|x-d around a sling chair, Al Holm suggests to Jon Barnetl the possibility of merging English Gothic with Bau- 88 haus. Jon only smiles. Not far away a guitar is heard softly. It has a strange resonant sound; Davis Sauer is playing Bacli guitar preludes in the bathr oom again. In another part of tlie col- lege, Jim Tattersfield and Harry Romney are trying to instruct Jeff Carey in the intricacies of hi lingua espauol. In room after room, the scene is always different. Many others are athletes, engulfed in the uni- versity ' s de-emphasized athletics program. Gene Coker is one. Though handicapped b) ' bad knees and a worse drawl, this son of Texas man- aged to play three years of varsity football, and was chosen to the all-Ivy and all-East teams. Rory Cross who wrestles steers in Tomahawk, Wyoming, has turned these talents to the heavy- weight division of the University ' s wrestling team. Bob Skerrit and Jim Stocking have meant points to the track team for three years in the 880 and hurdles. Casey Bensinger, though he has deserted these hallowed walls for a duplex and a wife, still jumps high and far as Yale ' s number one broad jumper. Dick Smith, who comes from Buzzard ' s Bay, Massachusetts, a town mmh like Vinegar Bend, has pitched for the varsity for two years and will probably be seen again this spring, if he finishes his stint as Branford ' s basketball captain in one piece. Bill MacLean will long be remembered as one of the most un- deserving hard luck players in Yale football history. Tony McCullough contributes his tine putting to the Yale golf team; thus he is rarely seen in spr ' ng when he forsakes Branford ' s green for one he can walk on. Jerry Coon and Slierm Bull, though unable to practice in their college, have still managed to use their sticks for the University lacrosse team. Fete Carleton lives somewhere in Calliope CoLirt and plan ' s polo for Yale; no one seems to know where he keeps his ponies, though it may be in Calliope also. John Clark IS the only red-headed baseball manager in Yale ' s long history, which just goes to prove that this I a liberally minded university. There are, however, men here who do not CLASS OF 19SS 89 f )rsdkf tlitir lollcgc in search of rcjJcr Jtiilctu fiUtry, but instcjii upliold the honor of Brjnford in tlic inter- or is il intralea ts.

Dave Adn )|xiz has achic cd the noteworthy distinction of being tJic youngest character actor in the American theater.

Though the Branford man resists groups, Hranl ' ord College does have its share of activities. Rarely does the college as a whole know what these groups are planning or docs it seem to make ten) much ditTerence. For they exist and prosjxr as much bexause of this as in spite of it. Consistent with the general atmosphere of the Lollege, their succc-ss can be attributed to the dc-dicatc-d efforts of particular individuals. David Sheehan. as Chief Aide and President of the Branford Council, has been able to preserve the mterc-sts of both the Master s oUice and the body of the College, at the same time remaining one of the best liked people in the college- c uite a rc-markable aihioement when one considers lii I iamden upbringing Bob Covingt«)n is chiefly rc-s|xinsible for the rejuvenation of the Branford Glee C lub. Largely ihrough his efforts it has increased its membership ind re|xrloire. In addition to giving concerts in the college during the holiday season, the Glee Club |ourneyed to Smith for a concert, and it plans to present a musical in spring. Though there are no dchnite rep«)rts of the club s choice of musical, rumor has it that the) ' will present Guys and Dolls with Chris Armstrong as Nathan Detroit. Tlic Branford Dramat, tixi, has undergone a rexival of interest Last year it prc-sented ' Home o( the Brave, a production which Dean Buck stalcxj was the finc-st college prinluction he had seen in many a year. Largely re-sponsible for the Dramats success arc Dick Collins and Tom Bauer. Dick has be-en a member of the Dramat for two years, and will be long remembered for his portrayal of Pierre Piycau in Follic-s of the Night Tom Bauer, also ,i | ing si.indmg memKr 90 of tlie organization, has aciiicved just fame for his character acting. Branford lias long been known for its fine dances, which are usually brightened by the imaginative art work of Record cartoonist Bill Anthony. Don Beard and Miles Weintraub, as members of the Branford Council, deal itli these functions; though unable to compete with Mike Todd in scope, they surpass him in taste. Finally one must mention the Toner Bt lletni. In Philadelphia, everyone reads the Biillel ' tn. and in Branford everyone reads the B llet )i. It is placed on Chris ' desk in the dining room, and makes scintillating before-dinner reading. Jerry Hoganson serves as the dedicated, two-fisted Editor-in-Chief who fights crime and corruption, and covers the sports scene as well. Finally one cannot forget some of the elder members of the college who also contribute greatly to the individuality of Branford. Donald Currier who, as newly appointed Assistant Mas- ter, has taken over many of Dean Buck ' s duties as Master when the latter was chosen Provost of the University. He has also aided and abetted the Branford Glee Club m their rise to fame, and has been largely responsible for the Branford Concert Series, long kno-wn for providing some of the finest music heard outs ' de V oolsey Hall. Hazel Townsend is a Dining Hall Manager who stands outside Miss Bauer ' s rather bleak tradi- tion, and tries to insure personally that the Bran- ford man is the best-fed individual not allowed in the Faculty Club. Mrs. Wright, too, is no ordinary secretary, for she takes care of many facets of college life from pro ' iding keys for those locked out of their rooms to making cakes for birthdays. And finally, we must mentiim Chris, the silver-haired numbers collector who. with a fantastic assortment of handkerchiefs and .1 radiant smile, makes even Monday morning bearable. Yet after this large assembly of individuals have been described and their environment ex- amined, one wanders through the dark rooms and curved archways, and wonders just what sort of a college Branford is. Is it really a college or simply a collection of individuals united by some rather tenuous ties? To an outsider, the latter might appear to be true. The quadrangle is beautiful, but too quiet, even austere in its silent dignity. In short, it does not seem col- legiate enough; the boisterous activity which characterizes other undergraduates is absent here. But to Branford men, this appears to be largely superfluous. That they are not collegiate few would deny; that Branford is a college all would forcefully affirm. For to the Branford man, col- lege does not mean blue scarves, football rallies, and beer cans rolling down stairways. Rather it means close friends who don ' t talk too much, a place to go when he wants to be alone, some- where to sit while watching the madding crowd, people to laugh with when he rejoins it. These are some of the things which unite Branford. Though they are tangible, they are also not tenuous. But if you are not a member of Bran- ford you can never really know them; and if you are, you need not be told. 91 CALHOUN b) Scnil Murphy Rl TIRNING to the Houn in the lall ol ! ' ' .  c all had a new and strange fc-elin;: i l umertainty. Much was surely the same. New Havens biggest and noisiest trucks still roared by « n College Street. Billy loord and a gr( up of his little frie-nds still found us perftxt targets for their new water pistols ( in the winter, of course, it would be snowballs). Lydia Rammic still had the college under her thumb in the Master s Office. Her marriage in Januar)- was t j (ill us with joy and sadness — joy for her. sa Inc-ss for the loss of one of the Houns great friends. Edna sc-emcd to have our dining rocm numbers memorized by the second meal, an J Maxie, bless her heart, still couldn ' t rc-sist giv ng us a second piece of pic in return for a friendly smile. Fi- 92 nally, for those of us who could recall the dim, dark past of sophomore year, the return of Bdl Emerson after a year at Harvard seemed to assure us that Calhoun had not changed a b ' t. Yet Calhoun was different and we all were keenly aware of it. The IBM machine has been talked to death during our four years at Yale but to understand Calhoun ' s class of 1958 tiie IBM must be the point of departure. Under the old allocation system Calhoun was one of the most popular colleges on the campus. Men who were to be chairmen of various organizations, class secretaries, or fraternity presidents descended on the Houn in droves. But above all, we got ath- letes. Thus the class that preceded us had the Class Secretary, the Class Treasurer, the Chair- man of WYBC, the IFC President, the basketball and football captains, an Olympic crewman, and five starting football players. This type of record was typical. Using the yardstick of names and titles, then, it could be said, and was indeed said by many, that Calhoun was the best college at Yale. Many of us returning m the fall were among those convinced that Calhoun was nov% ' to lose her superiority. Why, we had only five lettermen in all sports combined, and we couldn ' t even begin to match the outside activities of the Cal- houn Class of 1957. It seemed that we had even dropped below the average of the rest of the Lfniversity. But as a confusing maze of events developed iSff - •■■ :« : ff - . AvcbthMd S. ¥„n,d. Miner during the tall we soon realized that the yard- stick of names and titles had been far too simple. Calhoun was indeed quite different, but putting a value judgment on this difference while we vsere in the midst of the change was quite a difficult task. The most significant thing we saw as t!ij fall passed was that more was bc ' rt; d n; for Cal- CLASS OF 19 lioun; mt rc tluHipht was bcinp jivcn to tlic cdIIc c by lis member!..

Calhoun activities flourished m  rc than ever before. This was immensely sipnilicant for the average man in Cjlhoun: he had a much greater opportunity to express himself than he would have had a year ap). When colle ie affairs were bein run by men who had commitments elsewhere, the averajie perscJn definitely felt left out. In other words, the institution and its facili- ties were now bein belter used to serve mori people. Tiie thou);ht and effort put into Calhoun v best typified by the work of Social Quirm.

Fr.i: Polk, and Perry Welch, prcparc-d parties whi must be ranked among the best that Old John ' has CAcr seen. Who else could offer Neil K minsky performing the strange tribal dance picked up in the hills of Tcnncsstx? Ccrtaii no othc- college had a Lou Gonzalez whose piar playing jould make the Zebras ' look like an icurs on College Weekends. And where could .myone get more enticing brews than those pre- irc-d by Mrs. Fcxjrd under the traditional title I FcHtrd Chitch. ' ' But perhaps the story is the best told by the Met that Wf of the Houn signed sixial pledges liile no other college had much over ' ' ' , . ndoubtedly no aide staff worked more efficiently Man Eddie Coates and his fellow senior aides, i lordie Marsh. Chris Smith, and I ' rcd Byers. Per- haps the fact that we were rarely aware of their .Ktivitii-s was the bc-st te-stimony to the fine job :!iat they all did. .Another good place to stx- this new interest in I alhoun was on the athletic field. Every team as well-manned. c- |x-cially by seniors. The foot .ill team headed by captain Billy Marsh featured aih stalwarts as Liv Baker. Ed Coates. Paul Butler. Bill Richardson. Perry Welch. Tad Lin coin. Tony Lummis. Charlie Constantin. and Larry Long. The years rcxord of 1-2-2 was not indicative of the ability of a team which finished thrcx- games within the ten yard line of the op| sition. Even at that, this record was a tre mcndous improvement over the team of tlic ye.ir before which failed to score b [-Hiint. The scxcer team compiled its best record in mem( r) ' . 1-2- S.

Sam Alh-n md . vM  Murphv 9-1 There were many of us who coLildn ' t under- stand The Tempest. Calhoun ' s annual Shake- sperean performance, but everybody found it interesting. After all, it vsasn ' t everyday that one could see Chris Carroll as Caliban, a savage and deformed slave, prancing about in a leopard skin uttering vile and usually unintelligible oaths at everybody in sight. And it was only on such rare occasions that Don Caton, Calhoun ' s one and only airy sprite, displayed his abilities. A great deal of credit was also due to Production Manager Al Davidson and his fellow thcspians, Colin Radford, Pete Milliken, Bob Carter, Rod Halif, and Dan Kennedy for what turned out to be really first class theater. But with this shift towards predominating in- terest in college life, the ' Houn was not left without its share of representation in campus activities. What a parochial atmosphere we would have had if this had been true. In sports, Sam Alien, an)- referee ' s best friend, was captain of the varsity soccer team while Franz Dolp led the varsity golf team. Art Bober was regular third baseman on the baseball team for three years. We had our share of scholars too. Lanier Anderson, Jack Grunwell, Orr Marshall, Dave Hampton, Tom Simons, and Scott Murphy were Phi Betes; Rich Alexander, Dick Leining and Al Leveille were Tau Betes. There was even a Calhoun poet laureate, Charlie Dun lop, a Scholar of the House in poetry. Any singing in the shower on the top floor of D entry probably came from Wh iffcnpoofs Rusty Post and Chris Smith. Then there was master-nmgul Bill Richardson, President of Yale Key, Junior Prom Committee member, class councilman, etc. He had to room with seven people senior year to be sure that all his phone calls would be amply taken care of as he directed the Yale scene from his out-of-town office in Northampton. He and Allen represented Calhoun on Torch Honor Society. Many were concerned that Mr. Foord was trying to make Book and Snake Calhoun ' s own secret society as Richardson, Ted Probert, Franz Dolp, Ed Con- nors, and Perry Welch were elected to that society. Certainly no group did more for Calhoun ' s prestige in the Yale community than the cel- ebrate -your -birthday -at -the- Heidelburg Societ) ' . Chairman Billy Martin and Secretary-Treasurer Delite Hoopes led this small but select group through many stimulating meetings. The clamor for admission to membership soon became so great that even sophomores and juniors had to be admitted. Unfortunately the details of the activi- ties of this group cannot be made available to the general public. But to get back to that day in September when we first came back to Calhoun . . . what we feared mi ri- llun anytliin else was tliat Cjllioun was to lose a certain intangible tluraiter. a unity derived from tlie tommon outside lnte e ts of nt many o( its members. There liad definitely btvn suili a Kmd between the members of the class of 1 ' - ' . But those who had such fears did not under- stand how im| irtant the Master of Clalhoun was to the lollege. Most of the unity visible in Ol- houn and the elT«)rt that went into improving the Houn is traceable dircetly to Mr. Foord. His two most striking characteristics, intensity, and giHHl humor, were communicated to all of us and bexame characteristic of the whole college. His intensity was sex-n in the real interest he had in the college, its pexiple and their problems, big and small. The be-st way to put it would be to say that his time was our time. I ' ndoubtedly. the time, effort, and interest he gave to the college encouraged us to give of ourselves in the same way. Mr. Foord s good humor was obvious to any- one who knew him, even if only casually. The Ucxid humor o( the college was not so obvious ti) the casual visitor. It could be se-en only in a myriad of minor cxcurrencc-s which t(H)k place throughout the year. There was Brad Bishop testing the effect of gravity on an unsupj-Hirted waste-basket from high in the W ' hitridge RiH m, C alhoun ' s own sewing irde. It could K- sexn in (he animated laughter I ni.iriim time in Moreland ' s and Perkins ' room, T in the fre-nzied laughter at 6;()0 A.M. at the .ill-night study club in the Castle. It could be seen in the glint in Harvc-y Lipsher ' s eye as the ight-ball slid into a corner pHkel. It was in the hmpse of a smile we all felt when we heard ' olonel Anderson and Tony Penfold talking in uch divergent forms of the English language. But whatever our personal experiences might ave been, we all came to realize that our Scp- ■(.mber fears had been premature and without ubstantial foundation. 96 DAVENPORT ; Michel Fiwicis dirj lcn.

Gratton FitzGibbons IT ' S 5:45 P.M. on a snow-laden winter evening and a sliort, stocky figure is planted soli dly first in line at the Davenport dining hall. His plaid shirt with multi-colored clip-on bow tie and a blue jacket over his shoulders hardly sym- bolize the citadel of shoedom that old Davenport once was. Yale tradition has sulifered some stun- ning blovv ' s in days gone by, what with the pass- ing of maid service, the disallowance of personal valets, the abolishment of tap day in Branford courtyard, and the destruction of Derby Day just before it destroyed everything else; it seemed that there was little more to fall. But the class ot 1958, known to be- capable of so great a task, Vv ' as privately selected by the czars of Yale Uni- 97 vcrsity to vindicate once and for all tlie principkii of dc-miKracy and to baniNli forever the last vesti c-s of feudalism from the Yale scene. S ) It was that a Yale that though it had seen and mnijuerc-d c er - ism known was secretly stormed in the spring of 195 . A special detaih mint known for its sturdy caliber and never- ending courage was assigned the task of taking Davenport. As the Bastille had Ktn the symbol if opprc-ssion for the French Resolutmnists. old I) [ rt was the final remnant of an arisHKratic ■ ' ale. Mother Yale had several heart murmurs wiien an alumnus of Groton was mechanizcxi into J. E. and many a grumble issuc-s ft)rth from disap|X)inted legacies wlui shuffled down to Silii- man. but there we were, hi h stIuHjIers. preppies and all, marchin ; pr« udly around the Davenp« rt court, the slipma of IBM burning on our chests, but though no one talked to us. we knew- in- wardly that we had wlut it took to give the place some life. Tlie summer fussed and fall brought us back to take up residence in Daven|xm. We mildly and mcxkly took our place, some in the upjxr court and some in the lower, and our infiltration slowly began. Most of us lived on the first rt H rs of the entrj ' . a s) ' mbol of our lowliness, weighed under and opprc-ssed by the lofty seniors above us. We rushed their fraternitic-s and to add to our subjugation, we found ourselvc-s spending a lovely autumn afternmin toiling up and down the stairs carr ' ing cords of firewcHxl for the c-steemcil brothers. Our initials were insinuatingly length- ened into ' II Buy Mediocrity. ' but as we made our way. we gained a little rc-cognition. Tlic old swaybacks that D port used to field as a fcmtball tc-am were replaced by a strong crew of IBM -- that placed one of their number of the all-lc-aguc team during his sophomore year. Martinis were replaced by oranges as tiie iialf-tinic bill of tare, and when D ' port actually won a few ganic-s and «lien a spectator was cornerc-d into admitting he A. is a D port undergrad, the Intercollegiate Ath- .tic Association bc-came c uite upset and rumors ere soundc-d that Mr. Harknc-ss feared the even- laal ncxc-ssity of building bleachers. We saw an unostentatious winter come and go. The Qiristmas party as always increased our feeling of unit) ' . Bob Metzdorf called us at late iiours. scx-mingly to rc-e ucst that we remove the girls from our riHims. but really to invite us over lor some refrc-shment. girls and all. Barr)- Far- tlII was heard casually mentioning that he tliought he saw a sopln more studying on Satur- day night and yet another at a baskdbail game, but his senior and junior friends ejuickly re- pressc-d the suggc-stion and hastened back to New York for their daily dinner at the Stork Club. Spring didn t come; it was all of a sudden just there. Not that the sun was shining or the criKuses were blcK)ming; no, it was the re-sound- ing whack of tennis ball against a fraternity paddle that informc-d us that the outdcK)rs bctk- oned. But not for the sophomores. We sat in e)ur first flex r rooms wistfully gazing out at the jun iiirs and seniors who were tantalizingly playing paddle-ball. They wi uld sit on our window sills and laugh heartily as they pr Klaimed their mu- tual grcatnc-ss. But our courage mounted till one fine April day we issued the challenge. Chucklc-s rolled off and sncxrs curled on their lips, but ihcy consented to play us; how could they de- cc-ntly refuse. ' ' We fumbled around a bit getting the fcxi of a new game, but when the si ore was tallic-d. our supremacy in yet another field was c-stablished. S« ftball. handball, tennis, crew all bcxkonctl to us and we played our parts, but all in all. the surface «if the sea maintained an omi- 98 nous calm and though an occasional Jacques was whispered here and there, who could have forseen the complete collapse of the Ancicn Regieme such as May the 11th, 1956, witnessed. Private machinations had laid the groundwork for the great Shaving Cream Plot. As Davenport had been the epitome of Yale shoedom, a certain bearded individual became the anathema ot Davenport IBM ' s. As the Thursday evening pro- duction of the College Weekend theater ended and the audience dispersed, an infamous J. Grat- ton FitzGibbon was suddenly, but not silently, removed from the scene to a waiting car, and taken to some dark and secret spot ( rumor has it that Skull and Bones was rented for tiic eve- ing) and there, like Samson long ago, he was shorn, though only of his beard. On the follow- ing Saturday, in face of the murmuring crov d, two stalwart IBM ' s mounted to the small balconj- over the front arch of Davenport and presented to our noble supporter, Mr. Metzdorf, J. G. FitzGibbon ' s beard, pasted in its original design onto a cardboard sheet. The IBM ' s had thrown down their gauntlet. The summer passed in lazy industry and we returned for our junior year finding that tiie IBM ' s now held a majority rule in the college. There was still a sneer from a senior here and there, but all in all, they found us good enough to join with them in soundly defeating Pierson in football, 32-0. Some decaying remains of the old Davenport still could be found mouldering in dark corners. Although the highfiown organ- • M. - izers of the Davenport Cricket Club were gone, seniors continued to intellectualize and socialize amidst the fumes of sherry. Davenport continued to shine brightest on the playing fields of North- ampton and Poughkeepsie, and over extended weekends the psuedo-Gothic exterior of Yale ' s old answer to the Main Line became a colonial shell that would have warmed the hearts of by- gone aristocrats. But by the spring of 1957 the future was revealed. Mr. Stone suddenly found CLASS OF lO s S ' ksS ' k. i- ,. -T r. , , „ ,j „ ft f t 0 %  ■ % «r 99 tlut lie would have to look elsewhere to fill tlic ranks o American Studies Majors, as more and more D porters chose the lon road up Prospect ■ trtxt to the labs.

By the end ol the sclux)l year we said gixxl-bye to our de- parting seniors with a realization that September ould find us in our own. (irmly entrenched, ady to try to prove that tiie new Da eni rl A ould be worthwhile. St) came fall. I ' , to put the exiiting, all new Daven| rt tin trial. Fri m the start it was .lc-stint l to be a gloritius year. Ntit tinly were the fiKitball weekend parties in the mllege better than f cr; Daven| rt itself bc-iame athlclii. By the end of the fall season Daven|- ort was in fust plate in Tyng Cup competition the revtilulion was complete. The heretical nature of such an tKi rrcncc can best be understiKHl in the lanunl of an tild Davenport alum, just before he tried to commit suicide. He was sure that tild Daven | rt had been betrayed. In spite tif such severe criticism the college athletic program continues to improve. The first big snow storm in a winter of in- • iinparable sntiw brought glee tti some of the more public -spirited members of this new-ftiund navc-n[ rt; they felt tlut such a glorious exhibi- •lon t f natures handiwurk should ntit be wasted r let slip by, but should be improved u|xin As lie snow stopped falling artiund midnight 1) [xirters ap|x-ared and, like magic, snow started iilling the colleges front and main entrance. Such indusir) ' of course could ntit go unntiliced it Yale, where campus police arc always on the lokuut for greater and grander student endeavor. Mas, by the time reprc-scntalivcii of that worthy xc-cutive body arrived, they found their way lockt l by a solid wall of sntjw six feet thick at le bottom that entirely filled the archway. Un- auntcd thcT found another entrance to the din- ng hall and thereby gt t a view from the inside, strangely entiugh. no one knew how the snow lied itself there so the campus cops could only land and admire. It wasn ' t until late the follow- ing afternoon that the Service Bureau was able !o dig a narrow notch wide enough to provide lie more intrepid members of the college with a shorter route to classes. Many thought the en- 100 ; of Ik trance would not be cleared till the spring thaw, but the Service Bureau came through in its usual indefatigable style and all was back to normal by the end of the week. While this ambitious project was being pur- sued at the end of the court, some of the more artistic members tried their hands at snow sculp- ture. The results were artistic to the extreme, and gave a very good insight into the workings of the undergraduate mind, but for some reason, they had to be destroyed before the light of day could illuminate their fine aesthetic qualities. Such exuberence even affected the entertain- ment committee. It wasn ' t enough that the fall parties had been so successful; a new idea of col- lege social life produced a winter weekend party that was unparalleled in Davenport history. Who would have thought it was the college ' s job to have a party in the middle of the winter! Mr. Merriman ' s punch and the soft strains of dance music were interrupted only long enough to let loyal Yale supporters attend the various varsity athletic events, whence they returned to party anew. For a change we found that the college could provide a satisfying social affair without the support, and resulting competition, of an .ill University week-end. Finally, one of Da venport ' s best contributions to the Yale scene showed that the college could unite in a serious task. A well-led and untiring crew of solicitors for the Charities Drive made Davenport the only college ever to get donations from every one of its members. The IBM ' s proved that they could stand by themselves without the superior guidance of bygone indifference; with interest came a competence and spirit that must be beneficial. Davenport has fallen to the new order and has shown that for interested members a college can have meaning. However Davenport is not always the united stronghold it sometimes seems because different groups and factions isolate themselves, to the detriment of the college. The unity that appears periodically as the whole comes together wastes little time m dying out once the rallying point passes. We have a fine Master, but he can only help us when we ask his guidance. Just give us a group of guys who are willing to come out of themselves to give a little for the college and Davenport will never again feel obligated to prove a representative cross-section of Yale can more than hold its own in comparison with the old guard, aristocratic Davenport. This should be only the beginning. JONATHAN HDW AKl )s b) DaitJ Joel SUnibeig THE fjit thai IBM had allucatcil mt to Jona- than Edwards almost ruined my summer va- cation of 1955. In thost days to drau ( the term is used with the full realization of its irony ) JE was like bcin;; sent to Siberia. JE was old as the hills (did it have eltxtritity? ), the rtxims were tiny and rotting, and the f xxl wa.s worse. Well. JE did turn out to be as old as the hills, the ro«}ms were pretty small, and the f K)d was never much pood. But I should venture that almost all the present seniors have truly c-n)oycd their three years in old JE, and herein lic-s a tale. In 1954 JE was artsy-craftsy ' . No definition is fioing to be attempted of such a nc-bulous term. Still all of us were aware of its applicability to Jonathan Edwards in the fall of our sophomore year. ( During my first year I was often reluc- tant to disclose my residential college — the re- peated extension of condolences had become rather trying. ) However, we all soon became aware of the discrepancy between the myths and the realities of the JE residential body. Sure, there were some strange guys, some bohemians, even an artist or two ( with a beard or two ) . But most of us had seen this sort of tiling during freshman year, and besides, having unusual peo- ple around could be stimulating ( or at least en- tertaining). Most of the JE men, though, were average Yalies — although the percentage of ath- letes was probably lower than in most of the other colleges. Once we saw JE from the inside, there was nothing really strange about it at all — but the food still wasn ' t very good. It ' s difficult to analyze what IBM has done to JE. JE has changed since 195 5 but the areas of change are difficult to pin down. To say, as some have surely said, that JE, which used to be pop- lated by strange people, is now stuffed with regular guys is naive and far too general a state- ment. What has happened, I think, is this: Prior to IBM JE ii d) have iiad an unusually large number of intellectuals and similar fellow-trav- elers. The chance system of allocation redressed the balance. In fact, it looks as if the scales have been tipped in the other direction. Did JE ever have a varsity sports captain in the past? — if so, the instances are few and far betv en. Did JE Wnii.im 11. Di,„h ever win the South League in football? Were we ever third in the race for the Tyng Cup? Behold a miracle: Six JE members of the class of 1958, the first IBM graduating class, are varsity sports captains (Jack Embersits, football; Tim Hogan, cross country; Ed Holohan, track; Dusty Clay, baseball; John Norton, fencing; and Jim Kinney, rugby ) . This season Kent Bales, Jim Staley, and the boys won the South League Football Cli.un- CLASS OF iq=iS 7n P - • r, J t tf J. ' ' f ' ' J ' ,.

Only the touch team was a trifle disappoint- ing ( but Foster and Louiks kept ri lit in there laterallinp). At this writing, then, jF stands third in the battle for athletii supremacy with a real chance to win the title. An important point about JF s emergence as a sports power: chance always helps those at the bottom the mc st. It is a preat leveler. Eventually the system will c cn out. It will then be surprising if any one college can ever dominate the Yale sce-ne to any prcat extent. That domination will be unusual has both its p od and its bad points. Tlicre is no room here for more than raising the j int and noting that IBM and demcKracy have the same stren hs and the same weaknesses. Has the college system been a success for us? Has it solved the problem of the impcrv nal at- mosphere of a lar pc university. ' Beinp careful to obser e that no system is a cure-all or panacea ( some c«)llepe otTicials don ' t understand this point), it can be stated that the residential plan lias worked cjuite well at Yale. Why, then, are there perennial criticisms and perennial attempts to better the system. ' Because obviously the plan could work better. The trouble, if you really want to call it that, lic-s with the students. They really don ' t want it to work much better than it dcK-s. Men ' s loyalties arc capricious — the) ' follow no set, directed patterns. The more organized the collepc bc-comc-s. the greater become its demands on the loyalties of its members. Thus the college tends to step on the toes of other loyalties (po to our dance instead of your fraternity dance ) and promotes a sense of resentment in some. When it tries to encompass all phases of sch(X)l life in its scope, it attempts tcx) much. After all. the colleges arc not the overseeing houses of our prep scluxil days. If the olficials could just be content with the system the way it is. things would go all right. Just Ixing in such close con- tact with other men, eating and living with them, gives one a sense of comradeship and closeness. To keep the constant company of the same men, at both work and play, can be a bad expcricmc is easily as a gcKkl one. It can narrow as well as broaden. TIk less the I ' nivcrsity pushc-s the college sj-stem, the bc-ttcr for all. The more it emphasized the plan, the more self-conscious the undergraduates bcxome. And with this self con- sciousness comes an artificiality and stiffness that IS deplorable and self-defeating. Aside from JE s unusual prominence in s|x)rts this fall, the college hasn t been much ditferent this year than in the previous two. This is not intendc-d as a cynical comment on the college. JE is a gcxxl college; things run pretty well ex- cept the food still isn ' t so giK d. This is Mr. Dunham s second year as Master and he doc-s a conscientious. rc-sp insible job. He tries harder than the students to make the rc-sidential system work — very few of the undergraduatc-s strive in any positive way to effect closer relations bciwcen the members of the college. This may be true of the entire University. This is not to say that most students arc opposed to solidarity, but rather to rc-state that conflicting loyalties make them in- different. JE has, howc-ser, a factor of cohc-sion that few of the other colleges [xssc-ss: smallness. In JF most of the seniors know each other; a great many of them know a good majority ' of the juniors as well ( none of the seniors know- any of the sophomores — I am convinced this will al- ways be the case). Bcxausc of its size. then, there is a family fc-eling in this college which can- not be ignored. 104 This year, as every year, we had a College Council (Mike Foster, President). It is very dif- ficult to say just what the Council does and what it doesn ' t do. It meets often enough and is al- ways amending itself, its membership, and its procedures toward greater and greater intricacy. But very few members of the college except the Council itself (and even this is in doubt) know what positive benefits come from its heated and frequent sessions. It would appear that the Coun- cil is more of a prestige organization than any- thing else. Noting that it does have some im- provements and innovations to its credit, these do not justify its seeming importance in the col- lege system. Its chief benefits ( if there are any benefits) go to its members. I don ' t think a Col- lege Council is a really necessary part of Jonathan Edwards. The very fact that at least one of the colleges doesn ' t have a council and has managed to survive proves the argument very well. This year, as every year, we had a few foot- ball dances. Bob Zarchen and committee % orked hard on the preparations and a few sophomores came. Sparce attendance at these dances illustrate a point: aside from the JE Jamboree, the Roman Org) ' , and College Weekend, most of the mem- bers of the college do not patronize or participate in college social functions. This year, as every year, JE men won some honors. ' Woody Howe was sports editor of the News, Don Crothers won the coveted Clare Fel- lowship to England, and Doug Murray leaves for China (winner of the Yali Bachelor fellowship) after graduation, George May, Ric Pfeffer, and Damon Wells joined Don Crothers on the Phi Beta list. Phil Holt got a 99 on the law aps and the scholar got a few quality credits. This year, not like every year, we had a news- paper, the JE Jester, that came out four times and said something. That it said something and said it well is directly attributable to Wirt Wine- brenner and a few of his underlings. That it only came out four times first term is directly attribut- able to the aforementioned apathy. The news- paper wasn ' t the only thing that improved in JE this year — so did the JEsters ( that only all-college singing group at Yale). The consensus of opin- ion was that they sang about as well as any Yale group. This year we got another library. The new one is bigger and more modern than the old. It fills a sore need for JE. The old one was vastly in- adequate. This year, like every year, we had a Christmas party. As usual one sophomore had a little too much to drink. The party, the singing, the candles were all very nice — but still the food wasn ' t too awfully good. Christmas vacation wasn ' t much of a rest — some went skiing, others went home and worked at the post office, a few went to Florida or even Cuba and came back without tans. Two weeks of cramming and hurried classes preceded two weeks of exams. Then second term began, like it ' s be- gun for over 200 years in the past, with every- body already anticipating the end. This year, like every other year for over two hundred years, the Yale winter was cold and 1 • ■ (.. . _.

At times tlif entire JE courtyard seemed like one big skat- ing rink. We all (exccf ' it the skiers) hoped for tile spring Khen x e could again walk witliout fear of sudden slippery calamitic-s. uhcn wc could ste what our college looked like again, and when. mt)st important of all. we could rc-sume our long clime to the top of Weir Hall, suntan oil in hand. There ' ll always be a lot of memories about jn and the richness of the years spent within her venerable confines, memories so varied, mj trifling ytl so important: . . . the way Fred used to pace the college walks trying so hard to act as if he weren ' t near-sighted . . . the way the milk in the snack bar used to pour out like hail . . . the way the violinists usc to complain that the weight lifters were making tiK) much noise . . . the w.i Dunham and Mc Adams would dc-bate. like Lm coin and Douglas, over the Great Tic Act . . . the solemn way the fellows wciuld parade from the dining hall on Thursday nights . . . the gaity of the Christmas Party . . . the way Clay demolishc • Holiday Hill ... the way John Hearst built tli snackbar (with his own hands) . . . the way grass never really grew right for Graduation but how you had to run an) ' way across the courtyard if you didn ' t want to be hit by the sprinklers. Remember how wc were always trying to steal a de-sscrt trom the kitchen, or an extra milk . . . and how the senior table was always filled with juniors . . . and how your silverware was always cone if you went back for sc-eonds. Remember all the notc-s from the room inspec- tor .. . and the threats from the Master if you cot tcK) many of them . . . and how Bales looked :iiore like Oliver than Oliver himself . . . and how tlie Swinger never showed up for the fexUball C.mies . . . and how the Common Rinim cleared ' Ut the minute the JEsters started to practice . . . nd how the back gate was always closed when it as raining the hardest . . . Little incidents like these are the kind of mein- ries we ' re going to have about JE in twenty -ars. And so these are the things to talk about nd to write about, to cherish and prc-serve. I ' lnathan Edwards will leave an incredible mark jxin all of us, for after all, it fostercnl us for iirc-e imi ' xirtant years. Here we dreamed our : reams, shot our pcx)l, drank our bcxr. itxik our showers. Here wc found our friends and our c-nemic-s. Whether we like it or not. JE has been our w ' orld at Yale. Our failures and successes lan be largely measured in terms of its scope 106 PIERSON by Hoyt Speli, ON describing the Yale Scene, one cannot avoid using the term college system to define tlie undergraduate residential plan. But, one asks: would not tiie word dormitory be equally applicable to Yale ' s ten upperclass units? Certainly they are no different from any dormi- tory in many respects; the college constitutes a base of operations for the student. In it the stu- dent eats and sleeps, from it he participates in the functions of the University as a whole. The IBM system has eliminated the culling of a certain type into a particular college.

Spirit is an abused, ab- stract word; we mif ht better call the difference personality. Tlus article will be an examina- tion of a personality within a collej c. It is a search for the Piersonality. In the final anal -sis, a college is only as good as its Master, for it is he who must provide the driving force and lay the bases on which person- ality tan develop. Under the tenure of the Rc ' - crend Sidney Lovctt. Pierson lias thrived. Uncle Sid. like the Fisher King of the grail legends, has presided over his chargc-s as they sally forth to mcxl their daily trials, instilling confidence and stc-cping them in sage advice that extends to every phase of college life. His personal interc-st in every mem her of the college and his evcr- prc cnt sense of humor have given us a real love for him. and therefore for the college. Credit must alsti be given tr I ' nclc Sid ' s helpmate, Mrs. Lovctt. who adds her gentle presence to the social scene. As college Secretary. Mrs. Sand- back ably handles a vast amount of administrative details. Following tJK Master in the college ijier.irciiy are the Fel- lows, a group of men who. in Pierson at least, contribute posi- tively to the personality of the college, not only by participa- tion in its activities, but also by their contrasting types. Much IS to be desired in the realm of student - Fellow relations (no matter how muih there is, more will always be dc-sired). hut Pierstin has come farther than .iny of its counterparts in mak ing the Fellows familiar to all. c-spccially at meal times. One easily recognizes the congenial smile o( Mr. Mac. the ram- rikl posture «)f Rocky Flint, the craggy countc-nance of Geronimo Kendall, and the sight «if Colonel Gimbel carrying on a lunchct n mon ologue. ( Boys, you don t know what Poli Sci is unless you ' ve read Tom Painel ) It is lamentable to think of lc smg any of thc-sc personalities, but Pierstm must do without the service of three next year: Win Solberg leaves for MacAlc-ster. JikI I orius will move on. and. It is rumored. Burt Mac Lean will not be with us, unless he rcxonsiders his resignation. Pierson was not without sttme improvements in Its physical appearance this year, llie freshly- gilded dome of the Tower dazzled our eyes even in the uncertain New Haven sunligiit. Tiie hands of the clock received similar treatment, so that we might more easily see that it was its usual tive minutes slow. The lounge was repainted, as were the . doors and shutters, and the students w ere provided with larger beds to leave unmade. Returning Slaves took in stride the new rules implemented by the University in the student body ' s summer absence. Coats and ties were worn without a grumble; Pierson men had better things to do than go on a wild milk binge in protest against the smaller glasses used in Mrs. Joyner ' s domain. The colleges attracted several personalities who do not reside within confides to add, if only briefly, to the scene. Certainly the most fetching was Miss Susan Strasberg. She stayed just long enough to give us a glimpse of her effervescent charm (which managed to shine through globs of mascara) before tripping back to the Shubert to resume her climb to stardom. Of our more thoughtful visitors, Archibald MacLeish was outstanding. Those ho ent to hear him were treated to the first act of his new play, which is to be produced in New Haven sometime this spring. We look forward to the more or less annual visit of the good, grey poet Robert Frost, Associate Fellow, whose wit and insight appear to be ageless. The last and largest group of the college order are the Slaves themselves. Many of them not only expressed their personalities within Pierson, but The Rer. Sidney Lviell. y f.n .. throughout the realm of University acti ity as a whole. Pierson is well-represented on the academic scene. Four more seniors, Alex DeSantis, Bill Hall, Steve Williams, and Joe Gastwirth, were added to last year ' s junior Phi Betes, Karsten Harries and Roland Paul. ( Roland is President of the Yale chapter). Two juniors, Ste e Flmin and Harvey Applebaum, were elected as mem- ( I AsS oi ' u ■III nil ' ■ 0 % •I ' K M  J t tJ r I t f I f tr 109 .It Mon ' s for a little camaraderie. An external, tangible symbol of a roup per Minality is always iiard to find. In Pierson s case, Mowever, there is one which denotes the ptositive liaracter of the college spirit: the Tyn ; Cup. It is svmK)lic that it has been Pierson ' s exciu- i e pro[xrty for tlie past three years (much to Mr. Mendeniiall s chagrin), and the Slave ath- letic teams this fall did much to lay the ground- work for its retention for another year at least.

Just as Pierson had settled from the opening rush of early fall, a pernicious disease fondly dubbed The Plague beset many members of the Pierson family, and decimated the number appearing for meals for several weeks. The source of the pestilence was later traced to the fourth floor of the West Wing, and in particular to Ron Baird ' s bed, always a hygenic nightmare. The Fourth Floor deserves further mention. It lias come this year to rival tlie Slave Quarters and the 1400 Club as the place to live. Up- on arriving at the Fourth Floor, one enters a Cretan labyrinth of endless rooms and doors, strewn with soiled linen, forgotten books, and empty beer cans. As to who inhabits this twilight limbo, no one has hazarded an accurate guess. could (not fast enough for Carton-a-Minute Mofifitt, however). Socially, Pierson had much to offer its mem- bers. The Social Committee, under Chairman Bill Becklean, organized a late dance both Harvard and Colgate weekends, and a supper dance Dart- mouth weekend. For the success of the latter, and for many other successes during the year, we must pause to pay tribute to Mrs. Joyncr, Mollie, and the rest of the Dining Hall staff ( More eggs, Butler! ) for their never-ending efforts. The food is nearly always good, and what isn ' t at least has an imaginative name. The only lam- entable failure from a social standpoint was the demise of the Pierson Chorus, which had become a tradition under Johannes Somary. The character of Pierson, then, went far this year in fostering the development of the individ- ual characted of its members. The college offered many rewarding people and experiences to its residents. There is one thing, however, that Pier- son does not have many of, and that is Uncle Sid. Unfortunately for those who follow us, this is his last year. Not only will Pierson miss him, but the University he has served so well as Chap- lain will feel equally deprived. Although we are glad to have completed our stay at Pierson under him, we feel his loss already as if we had not. Adjectives serve little here; to all of us who have known him, tliey are not necessary. We wish his successor all possible luck in continuing the Pier- son way of life. The shoes he must fill are large. •m- m« W It is, however, the only power bloc within Pier- son that maintains a permanent legation at the Old Heidelberg. There are the inevitable earmarks of college character, such as the frisbee games and the snow- ball fights. More particularly Piersonal arc things like the Narcissus League, initiated by Body Bascom to cater to the Vitamin D set on balmy spring afternoons. Some Piersonites preferred in- door diversions: a stock exxhange was established for Monopoly tycoons, Don Cutler took up knit- ting to bolster sagging sweater sales, and Fred Williams, the boy most likely to become a me- dium rare cheeseburger, ran the Snack Bar. Pier- son had its peculiar noises, too; the thunder of hoofbeats could be heard from the Fourth Floor, somewhere on which there is the only TV set in existence that features Westerns all day long.

It takes time for the labor-savin : devices of tJie outiide world to filler into the austere atmos- phere of academic tradition and through the cluttered office of T. C. Mendc-nhall. and with the allocation of the class of 1958 to the residen- tial colleges, Yale finally entcrc-d the age of auto- mation. It bought a 1910, model T. IBM machine and allcKated tiic cream of the crop to Saybrook. Their best accomplishments are no reflection on the tender and loving tutorial advice of the fellowship of the college, but with hard-fought individual perseverance, some did stumble onto the wider arena of University recognition. During the midterm exams Saybrook was blessed with a divine portent to symbolize its academic supremacy. A foolish looking owl took up residence in the tree in the main courtj-ard and judging from the way the inmates grabbed rocks and stones to destroy it, it must have em- bodied their former high school principals and headmasters. However, the exhortation from the past slowly took effect and Saybrook led the field in members of the most exclusive club on cam- pus. Phi Beta Kappa. In the December initiation. Saybrook boasted seven of the 28 new members. Combine this with its membership in Tau Beta Pi, and capture of the Gimbel Cup, presented to the college with the highest academic achieve- ment, is assured. It is from such a background that Saybrook supplied the quarterbacking brains of the Yale football team. Within the college itself, Saybrook has a well-developed philosophy in its primary extra- curricular activity — sports. As I have already mentioned, it boasts the brains of the football squad which is, of course, not saying much, and has the captains of two of the few remaining Yale sports which compete on a national level, swimming and polo. The latter I take to sym- bolize Saybrook athletic jihilosopihy. A poster in the gateways in February said, Heel the polo team manager — Earn your letter the gentleman ' s wav ' This is Saybrook ' s approach, the gentle- mans approach; always let the utlicr team help you up when knocked on your back. It ' s not w hat you do; it ' s how you do it, as a gentleman. And this IS intelligent advice. The physical therapy department is filled with punchy, broken-boned, Berkeley men who were psyched into believing they v ere the Jim Thorpes of the college circuit. The purpose is enjoyment, not blood, sweat, and crutches. The touch football team, however, let the genteel approach go to their head. In five games the opposition scored 350 points to their ri,As OF 1 U3 1 i ' , quite an acliitvcmcnt considering that eaili team lias only 10 to 1  plays a half. The tackle iiKUball team took the philosophy more seriously. Hut they ttx) had their ditlkulties. In practice they are epitomized in the following dissenting remark of a player to the coach, I don ' t aijree; m prep schixjl we ran the play this way . . . ' When panics came, the ten regulars at practice vere joined by another ten, the lory-scxkers. i he rc-sultin chaos and modihcation these men mtroduied was summed up in the derisive com- ment. Original. Nevertheless, this team held the op|-Hisition to 12 jxiints in the first four camc■ and battled its way to the bottom of the league in the true Saybrixik style -as gentlemen. In winter sports SaybrcK)k did better, and as ■■H)n as tlie Saybrmik philosophy ains a f(K)thold II llie other mlle c-s, our leadership ability (see politicians) will naturally take us to the top. The other rtxreational activity, college scnial ifc, has btt-n on the upswing, following a trend .1 all of the collejjts. S«Kial tickets were intro- iiied a year a J. treating a more organized and liter attended stxial program for the nonfra rnity members of the college. The hi;:lili|;lil hull ave new impetus and increased interest to ilic usually tepui program was the RcKkand Roll parly in midl-ebruary. The apparel bore the lioardman Trade Label, and a full-sized Harlcy- Davidson framed the background for the danc- ing. Tlie more s« phisliiated tastes of the Duke sicwcxJ the scene with askance and he was taken abaik when a pasMng figure replete with side- burns and guitar murmured to him from behind a pair of shadc-s. Crazy man. ' But the parly was a suicess and givc-s hope for the future. With the pr«i|x-r interest and organization, a Univer- sily-w ide college social program could easily com- |x-te with the fraternitie-s, cs|xxially from the |-xiint of view of cxpcnw. ' . Behind these activities arc the organizations that make the college run (walk would be more .ippropiatc, or perhaps crawl), the most invisible of which is the aides staff. When an aides slaflf vo ks well there is a flavor to the organization that makc-s the job original and diflerenl. In this way Saybnxik is distinctive, its ditliculty being the subtle distinction between business and |- leas- Lire. A meeting begins in the aides oflicc |- cr- taining strictly to business. From here there de- velops a transition (to Mory ' s) for the closing eremony where one can hear the tipsy strains if their favorite song, Sueel Allywn. The work 114 has little glamour, but then there are the un- expected incidents — the Henning children. In capacities above and beyond the call of duty, the aides have to referee between Rena and Morgan in Morgan ' s attempt to acquire the pictures of Yale males. Then there ' s the time Cammie fell in the wastepaper basket and couldn ' t get out. Other aides carry nickels to ward off the sudden tug of pants and the whine from the floor, Have you change for a dime? It is rumored that it was an aide who came to the rescue when some sophomore answered Cammie ' s plea, Please swing me by swinging him by the neck. The aides without a doubt have a unique fraternity of their own. The other official Saybrook t)rganization is the College Council containing the annual winners of the popularity contest in each class. This re- pository for the election-minded wheels of high school and prep school shows definite perennial characteristics. The eager sophomore big guns ' eye it coveted as the prestige symbol equivalent to the famed secondary school student govern- ments and then skip meetings when they find it entails work without glory. By senior year this is worked down to a small group who are attuall) concerned with the college and have been doing a better job each year with their primary concern, college social functions. Having curved the framework ot the college there is only one subject left, the people, the Fellows, and the students; and to coin a new English expression from Peanuts, Aargh. The Fellows of the college can be looked on as a joke. It is one o( those ideas that sneaked o xr from England, tripped, and skinned its knee. Students and fellows are as far apart as the student and the President. The reasons are sev- eral. The philosophy of Duke Hcnning is one of leaving the initiative for projects and ideas up to the student, but providing all the facilities and help once the idea is presented. If we are unin- terested, fraternity-minded students, we will re- main that way, and we have. A second ditficulty is that the Fellows don ' t mix. This venerated and aging body cannot be expected to interrupt a stimulating comparison of ski weekends to ask students how they enjoyed Professor Weiss ' new book, Modes of Being, and it is a great credit to those few Fellows who do take the trouble to make friends. Of the possible corrections, stu- dents initiative is quickly and eagerly answered. One entry instituted the practice of inviting a Fellow up for cocktails, having dinner. anJ llicn iiinJuctin a disi ssion afterwards nn a topic of general interest. This has btxn a su .i.ct s from ever) ' [-Hunt of view, but it works only if under- taken by interested students and tan nut be in- stiluti«)nali ed from above. Stxondly. Saybrook nixds a hi li pro|x rtion of young fclKms who would be interested in mixing and some system that would allow interested graduate sludt-nts and young instructors to eat there on a yearly basis. Much can be done to overcome this gap. Hven the students were surprisc-d to find out what a personable President they had when he gave an inlormal talk in the common room. And linally. the students. Saybrook is divided into clicjue with varying degrcx-s of cxdusivcness and cohc-sion. lliis is nH st evident in the dining hall. Everyone belongs to a group, and to sit dow I) w ill) the w rong one is unusual enough to draw a remark of surprise from Vera. There arc those who scxk aitivitic-s and rtxognition on the university level, the onc-s they call the future leaders of the country. Nice guj ' s — but they tend to be snobs. Altachc l to them is the sixial set made by Deke, Beta, and Fence Club mcmK-rs whose general contribution to anything is ques- tionable. There are then several loose groups which form the backK)ne « f tlie less glamorous activ- itic-s at Yale, such as the Cnitrion. the Yak- Band, and Dramat. and which contain those few who actually are concerned with the vitality of the college. These groups alv) produce the great- est academic achievement. The cohesive force within them is hard to pinpoint. One such group is the Outing Club set. those most scvcrly hit by the outlawing of T-shirts at meals. Less sophisti- cated and less conscious of conforming to Fvy League dress and social habits, they live in a vorld of their own. Another is more literary and ntellc-ctually orientated. There remains a third jroup which puts a minimum into L ' nivcrsity te and get a minimum in return, the kind that ucvis to be stimulated to express the talent they ndoubtcdly have if admitted to Yale. Inter- |H.rsed among these types are a few scattered Jd-balls and one c rly-headed. olTbeat intel- xtual. These clicjues can all be scxn in the lining hall at any meal except brcaklast, sepa- rate and exclusive, the only means of communica- (lon being the bumming of cigarettes. Outside the dining hall, there are several others: the p H)l table set who. surr« unded by the dun outline of trunks, lean attractively on their cues, and under the brim of grtxn i- e shades make silent com- ments on the next shot; the snack bar set where through the glcHim one scx-s harrassed o|xrators behind the counter misinterpreting orders, the impatient line fingering the cu|xakes and glanc- ing disinteresttxlly at a TV commercial, and the regulars, relaxed in chairs discarded by some long forgotten class. This is Saybnxik as ti .uiualiy is, average among the residential colleges and in need of improvement. Before it can live up to the eulo- gizing of the past. It must integrate its multifari- ous and dissident parts so that ever -one would at least rcxognize his college-mates, if I bothered lo mention ilicm 116 SILLIMAN b] Philip Christopher Ritterbiish WHEN it was announced in the middle of our freshman year that college allocations would no longer involve an element of choice, there was little protest. This can only have been because we imagined ourselves ensconced in Gothic palaces, with unending suites of wood- paneled rooms and private baths. Certainly all toyed with the hope that the new system would not disturb the balance of power among the colleges, but would place such deserving souls as ourselves in the seats of the mighty. It is only against this background of rosy hope that the blow of assignment to Silliman can be seen in true perspective. Some of us did not even know where Silliman was, and the only possible con- solation for such a terrible fate was the renewed Lcn% ' iction, soon on o ' cryonc ' s lips, that colleges at Yale have ni- tr lountcvl for much anyuay. NcvcrthtlcAi. ulitn the fall term K- an. few of us had dcxidetl to It-avc Yale on Silhman s .Kiount. Tlitre «a a happy cnthu iasm about those hrst weeks. W ' e s«x n learned thai Silhman ' s food IS the hot in the iolle n, and deli :hted in oin back for mi)re. Eagerly we renewc l fresh man. We iharj;i l up and down from our third, fourtli. fifth. AND sixth fluor roiims with ex- uberant abandon. W ' e wandered about the snack bar, billiard riHim, and sijuxsh lourls ainin a convKiion that Silliman s physual plant at least had a giKxl deal to uflfer. Almost unanimously. Linden Blue. Bud Prc-slon. and Bill Stack were tired olT tn bnn the Silliman Student Council to our terms. Bud s fantastic |Mrty dtx orations bri htencxl the whole fall, and when the por- traits, cxjuipix-d with wild (.(istumes, slarevl out over a transformed dining hall at the Mandcr Rite-s. we bep.m It) be convinccxi that we h.if misundersttHxl this dimension of Yale life. The student- I ' ellow dinners, inaupirated b) the council the previous spring, became an instant success with our class. We participated in over dozen college sports, lounged aK ut with ma - i zincs in one of Yale ' s bc-st college libraric-s, ano never tired of rearranging the furniture in the enormous rcKims we had bcxn assigned. Tlic-se early successes had not removed li doubts of those who wonderc-d if our Sillim.: careers would ever mean much. If there was ai sinpic imprc-ssion wc tcK)k away from the sopii. more dinner, it was that the college made no formal demands on us. Tlicrc was to be no estab- lished system of get-togtrthcrs for our class and lie upperclassmen. An institution which asked -• little ot Ic-ss. Somewhat self-consciously we nelved our blazers; henceforth they were rarely • be seen. We had been iven the most en- oura in of all |- ossible welcomes: we had seen that Silliman was a college of jx)tential. OdJh ' enough. We did not rc-sfx nd well to this opjxir- tunity to mold this plastic entity about our own perstinalitic-s and wislic-s. If anyone had charged lis with failing to make Silliman over in our own linage, we would have replied that a college at ' ale should not be plastk. but should have a jMttern and life of its own. Since we found neither, a steady attrition from college activities ind a failure to build enthusiasm for our new .iss Kiations provevi that we doubted that Sillim.in would succcx-d. The Universit)- as a whole offered abundant op|x rlunities u make up our losses, and a whirl of aitivitic-s made the tentative and Kntse associa- tion with the college easy to forget. It is an unhappy fad that our class ' s reat succc-ss in the L ' niversity meant that the different values to be gained in a smaller community went unsought, unfound, and unmourned. As our outside com mitments rew in scojx- and number, the (mI that we had ncAer known or even imagined what our college asscKialion could mean made its loss absolutely painless. In the heat of these outside commitments, the student-Fellow dinners c|uietly folded, and the SithniatiJer was reduced to a Ane white ash. Of course, it is altogether [sossible that Silli mans ixitential values were passed up for belter things. CJiief amon these was a much -discussed institution for two |x-ople. Bud Prc-slon. Jack Sc- al. Brian Frickson. Peter Bennett. Hun W. - George Thompson, Jerry Skolnick, Stuart Mc- Kinney, Cliase Curtis, and Bill Hoop decided to investigate, and found that marriage is here to stay. Some found extra-curricular activities the great attraction, and the Manders of 1958 moved with great distinction through Yale ' s circles, not only in depth but diversity. One came across Don Robinson in a dozen connections, but it will be his Nenw editorials and Classbook that are re- membered. Peter Hockaday, Jackson Haberman, Morris Raker, and Cade Ware joined him at the OCD. Bill Adams and John Zimmerman were at VYBC. Norm Jacobs and Seth Kranz piloted the Yale Scientific during an exciting time of extra-terrestrial speculation. The Yale Record found spectral direction from the able Court Bryan. Another Record man was Bob Corace. The Yale Lit had Dave Burke inspecting its prose and Miles Behrens, its finances. Doug Daniels produced Campaign ' 56. Beatty Collins master- minded much of Foreign Operation}, and Peter Pool engineered the second full year of Cr ler on. In fact, Silliman was represented thrtjughout the University. Marty Epstein sat in on Outing Club Meetings; Peter Lipman, Charlie Sawyer, and Hal Janeway at the Mountaineering Club; Elliott Hammett and Tom Malloy at WlYU; Earl Muntz at the Chess Club; Dave Engelhardt at the Biology Club; Paul Fossett and Charlie Moritz on the board of the Sea-Dog: Pete Gerschefski, Roger Whitcomb, Loren Partridge, and Bill Ry- berg at the band; and many more. Two men, both named George Anderson, represented us at Lntlu-t N-Mf. M.I.:,, the BANNER. Silliman boasted two Whiffs; Linus Travers and Bill Opsahl were off to Mory ' s on Monday nights, but were joined in the Glee Club by Ronald Levin, Warren Ri al, and Eric McClellan. Charles Schock sang with the Bach- elors, Mac Dunbar at the Apollo Glee Club, and Ronald Levin with the Augmented Seven. Bruce Beardv ood became president of Alpha Chi Sigma, while Jefl ' Arnt)ld and Tony Vellturo 119 wuuki Ix- seen at its mcxlin s. Bill Hc«itt and Cjtur i Barnes ruunJtd out the roster of the SoiKty ol Autoniiitixc tn mttrs. and tlicrc were many otiiir aliilialions as will Bill Stack. Linden Blue. Bud Preston. Jim LtMahitu. and ' an Stewart were always rcpreMnlin the college in one improsi e conntxtion «ir another, and larricd an enormous string of titles and honor . There seemixl to be a time when wc couldn ' t piik up a ma a ine without reading aK)ut Silli- man pc iple. Ul moved from John ( inikc at tlie Olvmpits. to Denny Hansen raduatin and then at Oxford, to Linden Blues South Amcriian ad- venture ' s. Tim Jtxk« was featured in Sfintii IHui- IntieJ. while Doup Daniels ritordin s received wide attention. Tins distinction was carried to sports. Buzz Dimond, Mike Rafferty. and Charles Hecbner tcK k to the scKter field. Jack Kohr to the grid- iron, and John Kin iton to the cinders for the Yale colors. Jack Kohr and Bob Cushman playi-vi lacrosse; Sam Schcwnmakcr played tennis; Bill Stack threw the impound weight; and J  hn C cH ke, CjI Hem;nway, John Bent, and Jim Brown rowed. Manders in the crowd would rcx- ojznize Bill Barhite and Sam Sthoonmaker on the scjuash courts, Gcorpc Thompson on the bas- ketball court, and Jack Kohr in wrestling. Seniors will rc-call Silliman swimmers Charlie Faurot, Russ Hibbard, Dou Sherman, and Bill Farley. Not to be forgcrttcn are Silliman s managers. Bob Develin assembled the rifle team. Charlie Day tended the JV fcxnball squad. Mike Rafferty went on lonp ski weekends with his charges, while Van Stewart did a memorable job as var- sity football manager. Academically, Silliman could produce ardent discourse on almost any subjcit. Gcorpc M. An- derson and Dean Secord were the great consersa- tivis. J.ick DcCell. Dave Burke, Stuart Williams, and Peter HiKkaday were perhaps the most re- liable in the arts; Arnold Buchman, Ed Collins, Charlie Day. and Mario Sereni wc uld discuss current alfairs at the drop of a Spuln t. Steve Hershon, Bob Ellis, and Peter Pck 1 often led Scxratic dialoguc-s from ncnm until the dining hall closed; and the wit of Court Bryan, Linus Iravers. and Brandon Stoddard ( all Pundits ) iddc-d an ever-ready spice to any conversation. l- ormal honors went to Phi Beters ' Bob Deve- lin. Arnold GiK dsitt, executive board member Miles Behrens. Peter Ralph, Charles Schock. and Sam ScluKinmaker. Our class had an exceptionally strong contingent in Tau Beta Phi with Bruce BeardwcKkl. Bill Clayton, Bill Hewitt, Norm Jacobs, Nick Tingliy. and Gordon Vineyard. One spur to the academic was Silliman ' s Fel lowship. The wixkly parade through the dining hall is the most we see- of some bellows, and the most that some of us see of any of them. This is to neglect the inspiration that can come through such world famous men as former master Filmer Northrop, Henry Margenau, Ralph Turner, Fred Rodell, Gregory Breit, Robert Pinn Warren, and William K. Wimsatt, who cjuarterKuked Phil Ritterbushs Sciiolar of the House paper. Most of us, though, will be more likely to remember the accessibility and continued friendliness of Albert Stone, Howard I-imar, Sam Graybill, He-tiry Fairbank, Walter Berns, Richard Sew all, Aubrey Williams, James Osborn, and John Palmer. Their office doors are rarely dosed, and none c%er refused an invitation to ctKktails. Turning back to Silliman ' s activities, we find I nuclei of success. The aide staff, sparked by chief Bill Hewitt, was penetrating into the secrets of Mander life. The Dramat found early enthusiasm among Court Bryan, Dave Burke, Jack DeCell, Brandon Stoddard, John Jones, Bill Brynteson, Graeme Hanson, and Dave Schricker. Beginning with the trial scene from St. Joan they offered Boiu YesterJay. a program of Christmas read- ings, hi the Zone. The Coming of Christ, and The Hasty Heart during our three years. The new social plan, given success by the energy of Frank Smith and his activities committee pro- vided some parties on the big weekends. Bill Brynteson ' s snack bar provided a convivial gath- ering place in front of the spastic television set. The sports teams turned out with gusto, and in the fall of our junior year took first place honors in the University. The O ' Toole Cup was frenziedly paraded from Mr. Noss ' s office to Mr. Bergin ' s, and back again. In our senior year, Jim LeMahieu ' s steady vigilance as athletic aide helped move creditable teams out onto the pla)-- ing fields. Bill Adams, Bill Barhite, Joe Chinn, Doug Daniels, Bill Felix, Jim LeMahieu, Bill Lund, Hans Wriedt, and John Zimmerman headed the footballers, who turned in a welcome third place in their league and played Adams House in a close post-season scrap. The soccer team found Bill Felix, Brandon Stoddard, Joel Schiavone, Alan Rosenthal, Charles Kopman, and Mike Rafferty pioneering a third place finish. Touch football added Bill Fitzgerald, Bill Hand, Bob Cushman, Bob Ellis, Charlies Moritz, Bill Hoop, and Charles Schock to the fall sports contingent. Winter sports found Elwood Bracey, Brian Erickson, Bill Barhite, Joe Chinn, Charles Heeb- ner. and Harrison Smith leaving a fine record on the basketball courts; Buzz Dimond, Steve Fein- stein, and Bill Ryberg in hockey; while Khosrow Nasr, James, VanAlen, and Peter Pool produced victories in squash. The swimmers, Hugh Wil- liams, Mac Dunbar, George Glover, and Charles Schock were at the head of a fine squad, and Jerry Donovan battled for Mander fortunes on the handball court. Spring sports saw Joe Chinn, Brian Erickson, Regelio Navarro, Don Robinson, and Harrison Smith on the baseball diamond; Bill Adams, George L. Anderson, Charlie Day, Bill Hewitt, and John Zimmerman at the college eight; Bill Barhite, Bill Brynteson, Martin Clayman, John Ernst, Joel Schiavone, Steve Hershon, and Herb Zimmerman on the tennis courts; and Bill Lund, Charles Heebner, Bill Ryberg, Charles Schock, and Peter Voorhies on the Softball field. The genius of all this activity is master Lutlier Noss, who offers a responsive good will to all. The underclassmen who sometimes maintain that Silliman needs not a master alone, but a ring- master, fail to appreciate the quiet intensity and very real dedication with which Mr. Noss moves in on college problems. His brightest possession and ours, Mrs. Noss, is another of Silliman ' s great assets. Silliman ' s senior class leaves with gratitu de. We do not remember much common activit) ' , or many moments when we were all together as a college. This does not mean that we crept from the cc!urtyard in June in abject despair. We walked torth with memories of May days in thc sun. Paradise Park in the rain, eggnog and carols in the Common Room, but most of all the men themselves. We recalled our many moments of laughter, how glad we were to leave Manderland at the beginning of our vacations, but how fine it was to hear the college tuning up again as the vacations drew to an end. We thought back over the way our eyes moved from man to man at the college senior dinner, trying to salvage some small fragment of his person to take away with us from Yale. We remembered how we smashed any outside attacks on Silliman men, dates, or food. It had been a good three years, of that we were all profoundly sure. TlXKVn IV DWK.I 11 )• Thomas Kaehao Suhig WE arc soon to be delivered frum tlic tlirtc fateful years of gestation in the M mb nl Timothy D i ht. In the lan a e of lommon parlame, the three years have been eventful and e|xxh-makinf ' . Within these three years, the re volt of the earthly Communist satellites dictated the validity of tlic multiple roads t i the Com- munist Utopia, and the Kremlins heavenly satel- lites extended its bliNxiy hands of invasion into the celestial sphere. In spite of these carth-shakin){ events and space-disturbing races, our life in T. D. courtyard has flowed in peace and solitude as ju-acefuliy and solitarily as the IBM machine, whose fate- dispensing hand dabbed us Prexics and initialed us into Uncle Tom ' s Cabin. To be sure, wc could not but feel uneasy and insecure when Master Berlin left us and spent the latter half of our first year in Rome, without even leaving Mrs 122 Bergin to look after us or Jennifer to play with us. But Dean and Mrs. Carroll kindly took on themselves the burden of leaving their own home and the risk of mingling with us. For the peace- ful and happy three years, we shall always be grateful to Master Bergin and his Fellows, Mrs. Denison and her Aides, Miss O ' Brien and her kitchen staff, and all others of whose silent, faith- ful service has often been rewarded with un- grateful mumbling and persistent complaint. It is our sorrovN ' that we cannot a oid noticing a few ripples, which have slightly disturbed our happy three years. By the ripples of sorrow, wc do not refer to such inventive adventures as hay- wagon rides, such exotic social events as the shipwreck dance, or such gallant battles as the fist fight with the New Haven townies. No doubt, all these adventures and innovations could not have been even conceived of without such a unique combination of the spirit of adventure and the momentum of boredom as ours, but they have not been shameful t r painful enough to invoke even the shadow of sorrow. The ripples of sorrow are cast by those who once staked their fate with ours as the cust idians of the Touch- down tradition and who cannot be with lis on our natal day. Though these classmates had shorter periods of residence than ours, they had by no means less fruitful careers than ours. Who could not but admire the hectic schedule of Jeremy Scanlon, who studied every movie in town and every magazine in the college, who s.it up for poker every night until breakfast, and w ho used to write all his accumulated papers during tlie exam period every term? One of the special features of T. D. has been the Chubb Fellowship. The Chubb opened this season with Professor Denis Brogan of Cambridge University, who came from England to teach American character and American politics to American students. The Chubb Fellow suite gave a few days of rest to Governor Walter Kohler, 123 who was invited here after losin;; his i-.v...i .ii scnaliirul umpjipn to another Vale man. Tlic last C-hubb l- ' ellow we will have before leaving T D. will be- none other than the Hon. Harrj- S. Truman. The visit o( the MaJri akhor fn m Muenstcr proved to be an astonishing; success. In spite of the Asian flu, whose [ isonous finders were reaching almost everk rtnim on campus, the din- ing hall was trammed to tlic galleries and win- dows. In the two hours of their singing, they made not a single attempt to appeal to the popular taste. The beauty of their austere vcval music was a healthful change from the ever sickening jazz and show-tunes around us. As though inspired by the Madrigalchor, T. D. prescntc-d at the Christmas Part)- its own Gk-c Club under the baton of Mr. Fcnno Heath, who kindly took considerable time out of his hcasT schedule to nurture its growth. Tlie Christmas Party opened with the intnxjuction of Norman Waitc. on behalf of his all powerful Mott W ' lxiley Council. As usual Mr. Bcrgin blessed us with a witt) ' address. Ever since scholars started reporting about the revival and sur ival of pagan Christmas rituals, he said, wc have entertained a seasonal guilt-complex c er) ' Christ- mas. He indignantly protested against this un- .iiijntcd intrusion of stholarshi| ' .ui., uuiiiii.ii into the holy season and urged us not to let them chip away at it. Such was the way wc were showered with ever)- gift and assurance for the Holy Sieastm - except the heavy snow wc had been awaiting. With the lirst heavy snow. Frank Collin and his lieutenant, Jennifer, mobilized all their lohorts for the great task of transforming the courtyard into a skating rink. They did not mind forgetting anon the [x-nding midyear exams for skating anil sleighing, but we were indeed annoyed with the omniprc-sent ads and m ticcs for their lost skates and busttxl bcmhc-s, or rather four-legged sleighs. Perhaps it is through their unremitting devotion that we have an invincible h(K.kcy team. Headed by Johnson, Rummy Goodyear, and Pope, our hockc) ' team has thus far gone undefeated and has almost clinched the championship. Fn other intercollegiate sports. T. D. has not bcx-n so successful as in hockey. Perhaps wc have sent too many champions to the varsity teams or have tix) many weenies. Wc were proud of having Lorch, Phelan. and Baird as the back- bone of the varsity fcMitball team. T. D. alvi provided the leaders of the Cheerleaders: Waitc. Harris, and Jim Goodman. But our own fcvMball team, though manned by such reputable members as Strandes, Jim Goodman, Hertzfcld, Read, Blake, and Rummy Goodyear, lost every game except one. They won no cheers and trophies but kept flaunting their boastful prediction: Coach Winter ' s favorite attack pattern, the split B, will slaughter any team! The T. D. soccer team faced the dreadful season with a humble self-knowledge. Co-captains Sears and Kirby calmly announced, we have a team, but only on paper. Later they reported that they were proud at least of having played every game. The prospects for touch football looked a little worse than those of soccer. Troop- less Captain Loeb was afraid of not being able to take the field. Through the tireless effort of Loeb, Randell, and Dave Goodyear, the touch team v.on one game. Of course, they courageousl) ' decided to count nothing but games won. With the basketball team, T. D. needed nut to worry. We effortlessly carried the series ot matches up to the championship game with Berkeley. For this game, we had every detail prepared, and the greatest detail was to slip Baird into the game. But Baird ' s eligibility papers were still sitting on the desk of the Intercollege Office when the game started. He could only scream and shout (nailed down to the bench) while the championship was being lost. The only game in which the Prexics are peer- less is the renowned beer-drinking race. In this sport, the participation has been enthusiastic and the practice unremitting. The T. D. Drinking Team is anxiously looking forward to College Weekend, when they hope to win another match and retain the Tang Trophy Cup. Ed Daly has been pounding out his second novel. The scene of the novel is the ant colonies. Harly in the year, he got an ant prince and prin- cess til fall in love.

Prexie tongues are famous not only for pump- ing down torrents of beers, but also spitting out glib, tiery speeches. The Debate Team started the year with only two members, who appointed themselves co-captains. St. Laurent and Swing tried almost every conceivable method of seduc- tion to recruit innocent juniors and sophomores. To no one ' s surprise but their own, the team has out-tongued every opponent. Our best game and race has been the unor- 125 anizctl one — the race of sprinting, tumbling, liu in :, iliokin . caressing, and loving — all on the sumptuous lawn of 1 . G. B.s courtyard. Here, witli n hindranic of ri id rule or sharp- eyed refcrcx-. but solely with the bicssinjj of the smiling; sun and the blooming; magnolia, the Prexics ' spirit finds the happiest ground and medium for its expression.

It IS the race with the roguish glanie. the wistful eye. the beckoning eyebrows, and the c|ue-stioning lips. It IS the raie with tlic ensnaring lurls. the heaving bosom, the swelling hips, and the sooth- ing hands. X hat is at stake in this race is the age honored title, the knight of love.

Lorch and Rummy GotxJye-ar have established the two extreme rec- ords. GeMxJyear met and conc uered his maiden in ten blazing short days of blitzkrieg romance during the Christmas vacation. Lorch carried his pursuit, which he had opened in the Midwe-st almost a decade ago, to the East and concluded his final victor) ' on the Atlantic shore. Those of us who have not yet sevured the knightship have by no means been standing idle. Here again in this group, we have two extreme records. Rosenberg, who could not limit his share of the race to the T.

' Wuri ' TRUMBULL b Robert Knox Dent an A YALE college is supposed to be a set of buildings in which a group of more or less scholarly minds can stimulate each other. When a student finishes his assigned work, he should, according to this theory, be able to limber up his mind as an athlete limbers up his body after a workout, by jogging around the field (of knowledge, in this case). This is the ideal. In practice, the colleges have to serve as dining halls, dormitories, and amusement centers. Prop- erly manipulated, the amusements dished out by the college function as a series of baits to lure the 127 undergraduate into the intellectual communit)-. To say this is not to malign the undergraduate any more than to say that an athlete should take time otf from athletics so that he can play better, is a slur on sp« rts. But it diK-s mean tliat when a college provides dancc-s. intramural sports, satur- nalia, etc., the point isn t merely to keep the undergraduate happy and mindless, but also to charm him away from extracollegiate activities that tend to emasculate the siKial solidarity neces- sary ft)r any community ot minds. Solidarity without cojoiiti yields a splintered college, full of cliques ingrown as unhealthy toenails, of furtive and alienated fellows, and of lonely and solipsistic students. l he interminable debate about the college system consists largely of more or less ingenious proposals about how to fix things so that enough s«)|idarit ' lan be generated to produce a lommunity of minds. This article is. thix relically, a critical assess- ment of |ust how su(. .e sfully Trumbull has gone about its business as a college this year. Most of us have a fairly giK d idea «)f how nnuh we enjoyed inir stay at Trumbull, so that there s no ntxd to have a ycarbtxik article to tell us. Infortunately. this sort of approach also means that only a few names will be namevl. not only bcxause naming names usually winds up with the cjueslion of what on earth you ' re supposed lo say about Jck- Schmuck. the goiy whose only col- lege activity for thrcx- years was lo be unrcmit- lingly repulsive, but also because it is not fair to mention a nun s name in conntvtion with an activity that has turned out to be a notable flop, tspcxially if its failure is ro fault n( h s, This kind of assessment has to mention such activities. In terms ■ solidarity, probably the most suc- cessful bait Trumbull olfertil its inhabiianis this year was the athletic program, l-mm the totally unlamentcd pre-IBM days, when Trumbull was considered sn unattractive cross between a leper colony and an incurable ward, we ve been accus- tomed to preserve a few shreds of our self-respect by contending that, since Trumbull was the smallest c«)llegc (we never, never mentioned (hat It was full of wt-cnics), we naturally defaulted our way to the bottom of the athletic standings. Despite the efforts of a few undergraduates, the wiK-fully undermanned Mxcer team fulfilled this iioar)- tradition, tying for last place. The touch team, however, bludgeoned its way to second [ilace. almost without prtxedent, and the sc uash icam scxms likely to follow suit or even to better ;i)is standing. I ' ncjucstionably. the most shatter- ' low Trumbull s defeatist attitude towards us rc-ceived was the unexpc-ctcd success of 1. lootball team, which won the Yale intercol- legiate championship and then t(K k the world ntercollegiate fcK)tball championship from Har- ard s Dunstcr House— the first victor)- of the Vale champs over their Har ard c«)unterparts in even years. Since over half the college partici- ;- ' ated sporadically in athletics, this unexpected cries of victories and near victories resulted in a sort of awareness of Trumbull as a potential athletic power which is almost entirely ne to Trumbull anJ which mi ht prevent the hitherto inevitable Winter Disaster. Similarly successful as unifiers have been the Trumbull dances sponsored by tlie Trumbull Council. Aside from the usual rather transient camaraderie that comes from being well-beered among bevies and gaggles of attractive young girls, the fact that a substantial majority of us went to at least one of the dances indicates that these dances are winning most Trumbullians away from private parties, the Loew ' s Poli, and other extracolleg ' ate activities. ( By way of com- parison, the first party Trumbull threw for the present senior class was attended by one slightly bemused couple, three drunks and a college aide still undergoing his novitiate.) Another contributing factor was the Trumbull Council ' s adoption of a plan by which all stu- dents bought a ticket, whether they wanted one or not. There was some lethargic griping about this idea, although only two students took ad- vantage of the escape clause whereby the Master agreed to pay out of his own pocket the price of the ticket for anyone who couldn ' t afford one. On the other hand, the Jackson Poll ( an invaluable document) revealed that about half the undergraduate body thought that the com- pulsory ticket plan was a bad idea; the failure to respond to the Master ' s offer may stem from our peculiar code of ethics, one proviso of which states that you can steal anything movable from the college, except money. Besides the failure John S. Nu-holas. M.iUa to put the bite on the Master, this ethic explains how the recently instituted and liighly successful midmorning Kaffeklatch, which affords an op- portunity for students whose only common in- terest is stimulants to meet and talk, can lose a third of its profits — although none of us would ever think of filching from the coin box, every- body without the proper change feels free to have a cup on the house. Similarly, although a room check revealed about fifty books bor- k ' itiiiJini i CLASS OF 19 ' S8 ly •. .0 ' ' ki • J r J h  fih ' il w ' wifejtTir. rowed from the Uhnry without benefit of checkout, nunc of us oulJ c cr dream of sell- ing i hbrar botik to tlie Elliot s or Whitlocks. On the wiuiic. the tnatnunt of these twn Trum- bull mstitutions stxnvs to indicate that if you re nothing but an old institution you lan be popular without he.ng re4| citt%l This is solidarity.- ' IntellcxtualartistK attivitie didn t fare as well as they mi ht have. The debating; team, which last year defaulted most of its matihes but de- feated the intercolk7;e ihampions with a brilliant display of sophistr)-, this year is belter  )r ani2cd; but it ' s still probjbly jxjssiblc to spend three years at Trumbull witluxit knowing that there is yet a place for forceful falsehood, self-expre-ssion anJ impassioned eloquence in a community that ofte-n stx-ms to luve abanJi n-.-d ilu G. Men Mean for the Gilded Mediocrity. Th.- Trumbull Tnnei is another example of an institution well staffed and directed but without much student support: but it should b:- note-d that the I iii.i was born only two y-ars ago. Two other newcomers on the Trumbull scene, the art exhibit and the play, both of which were highly successful last year, re- mained for a long time this year merely gcxxl intentions. All that had been definitely decided when this article was written was that the art exhibit an J the play would be timed to coincide. By mid-February- scattered voices began to proph- esy that FerJiidiil. an unspi-akable abomination of Trumb-jll s pre-IDM period, was to be revived, a prediction which crealt-d a mood similar to that of m: dicval tov nsman hearing th.it the Black Death haJ just broken out next door For all tlial, it should K cinplusizcJ that of flic-sc tour .ictivitie-s, one was born only last year and twt) when the present senior class were sophomores. Over half the college attended at least one Trumbull Night this year. But Trumbull Night was neverthele-ss less frcx uently he-Id than during its High Period last year. This institution is iinicjue to Trumbull, however, and no matter how Mattered the talks they re better llian the- none at . ' .II of other colleges. Perhaps the most disturbing (and most basic) factor in that community of minds we had this .ar at Trumbull was the fact that it tended to h. segmented inti several small groups, who usually knew each other well enough to say hello, ' but remained, for some inexplicable reast n, aloof from each other. Quite a few sen- iors had the discjuicting ex|xrience of mtx-ting someone at the M. ster ' s senior dinners who obviously couldn ' t have bexn a member of their class for three years, but who was and had been. Fven the Phi Betes ( of w hom we had six ) and the Tau Betes (two), who might be expexted to clan up with each other, tended to remain within the scKial autarkies the joined sophomore year. In themselves such groups may be harmle-ss (hell, the - re enioyable). but to the nominal intentions HO of the college system they are impervious. To make the situation more confusing, despite tiie presence of ranking scholars, a possible First Scholar and a Scholar of the House, Trumbull has been doing pretty badly on the University ' s measure of intellectual achievement. The validity of this measurement may be questioned — cer- tainly it doesn ' t correspond with the University ' s estimate of our abilities, as the Master has noted — but there is almost certainly something up- setting about this record. Certainly whatever intellectual apathy existed can ' t be blamed on the Fellowship. Every one of us knew at least one Fellow, and most of us knew several. Trumbull probably has the best Fellowship in the University, a group of men the vast majority of whom are not only accessible to but even friendly towards the student body. The five new Fellows acquired this year have uniformly and admirably fitted into this pattern. Trumbull is the only college to invite students to its faculty meetings. The uniqueness of this institution may be all to the good, because Trum- bull is about the only college to make its faculty meetings interesting to its students, well over half of whom attend them. During mealtimes Fellows and students have put to rest problems about antigalaxies, free will, the management of the University and of the college, vector analysis, the influence of the mass media, Heisenberg ' s uncertainty principle (and its relation to Godel ' s Theorem), the situation of the American intel- lectual at the present time, the ontology of ammonites, the importance of Woodrow ' Wilson, sadistic themes in the movies, etc., etc. About all that could be improved in our student-Fellow relationship would be its quantity; its quality is unbeatable. One of the most important people in Trumbull life has always (or so it seems) been the Master ' s secretary, Mrs. Patsy Sperling. We ' ve always de- pended on her in those countless situations not important enough to warrant an imposition on the Master but important enough to make us need help, or sympathy. Whenever some minor frustration ( I ' m locked out of my room, I can ' t find my class, My window ' s broken and there ' re ten feet of slush on my bed ), Mrs. Sperling has produced the solution, without once losing her charm and poise, God bless her. The most important figure in Trumbull life is the Master, who with his wife performs a v ide variety of duties designed to mesh the students ' activities with those of the college — teas, dinners, recommendations for seniors, talks with the stu- dents and so on — all these in addition to his duties as a lull Professor in the Biology Depart- ment and as an advisor to the government in Washington. It is impossible to imagine a man of lesser calibre performing all these functions. What does this all mean? For us seniors, it means we ' ve been through a renaissance that has brought Trumbull a long way trom its original post hole status. It also shows there ' s still room for improvement. On the whole, 1 think we came as close to getting a communit)- of minds as did any other college, and that our years at Trumbull have been as good tor the college, system as they have been lor us. li)5S YALF: BAWTzR ANTHOLOGY ' A- ' 4 - 1 L : 1 irr .

Oct. 16 (AP) — University of Nebraska authori- ties confirmed today it was not a bag of laundry found hanging from the doorknob of a sorority house here last week. The laundry bag contained a nude fraternity member. 1 ' he university authorities said the lase has been turned over to the Inter- Fraternity Council for pos- sible disciplinary aition against the pranksters. Kollowing the Princrton-Yalc game we happened to find our- selves among the goal post de- stroyers when our attention was diverted to a particularly vicious hsi fight between two hy clad students. A policeman pushed them apart and asked one of them where he went to school. Princclon, ' the lad proudly replied. The other, of course, was from Princeton also. Now, you would think at a Uni- versity which had a 100 ' Bicker system for its eating clubs that one student would know whether .m other hehitgeJ. A friend ot ours m .i History Seminar had been trying in vain to t;et his professor ' s attention. He held up his hand, snapped his pen- cil lead, but the professor rambled on. Our friend even tried va ' in_t; his hand. Finally we heard him mutter in disgust, Someone turn off the sound in the champion ' s booth. • One of the major reasons why we mention Smith College so often is that our favorite college newspaper is printed there: The Sophian. Ev- ery issue is delightfully uninform- ing and liberally sprinkled with the most atrocious misprints. Their best headhne, which appeared over a review of Joker Is Wild, Joe E.

GOD AT YALE; IV All Editiir ' uil jroiii THE YALE DAILY NEWS by SCOTT G. SULLIVAN, 1958 CLOSE to 300 souls stood up at their scats in Woolsey Hall last nii lit to assert their eom- mitment to Christ tlifoui;!! tlu ministry of Billy Graham. Granting that Mr. Graham ma)- ha e talked some pretty sleazy theoloi;)- and i rantini; that he ofte;! sounded more like an understanding psydioanalyst than an orthodox Christian pastor, still 300 souls are not to be ignored. Ihroughout his stay here, interest and sympathy for Mr. Graham increased measurably; by last night he appeared to have found an audience. It would be dishonest to deny that the atmosphere which filled the brief session after Mr. Graham ' s formal talk was not supercharged at least with a certain degree of seriousness. On the other hand, it would be foolish to maintain that the public acts of commitment witnessed last night represent the beginning or even the nucleus of a religious revival at Yale. Many of thoEe who stood were not part of this community; many were swept away by the strength of Mr. Graham ' s personality; many will surely be embarrassed and puzzled by their own behavior tomorrow; most important, many were in fact committed before they came to ' Woolsey Hall last night. One ought not to minimize the effect of the mis- sion; it is helpful to see that accomplishment in realistic perspective. By and large, the most interesting thing about the Grah.im isit is not the number of persons who were willing to make a brave public show of their conversion. If they were not convinced before they walked through the turnstiles, they ha e set out on a long and lonely road about which it is difficult for the non-committed to conjecture. Of more immediate interest is the effect of Mr. Graham ' s isit on the uncommitted, the peculiar energy and vitality of religious discussion and inciuir)- that has sprung up here during the past week. All of a sudden the strangest people are interested in God; the Second Coming is debated over frater- nity breakfast tables; professors of philosophy and English devote hours of precious class time to com- ment on the questions of the day; a whole raft of articulate and serious-minded undergraduates are led to express their deepest faiths in the pages of the NE ' WS; extremists w rite angry letters concerned with the philosophy of free speech, theology, ethics. For at least one week in more years than you can count, this Uni ersity has become a hotbed of iolent and concerned religious controversy. Of course, much of the controversy ne er got past the peculiar personality of Billy Graham, but much did. Many serious problems were aired, and pre- sumably many people were stimulated or proxoked to pursue them farther. It is impossible to determine how much of the current concern tor religion to ascribe to Billy Graham and how much to the pre- Graham despair of undergraduate life and even to a chronic need tor a new subject of conxersation. But whatever the reason, the activity, the interest, the er e was aluable for its own sake. Despite the evidence of the committed 300 last night. It is pretty clear that Billy Graham was not exactly ' ' ale ' s cup of tea. The brand of Christianity which he reiterated in his tour talks struck the aver- age undergraduate as embarrassingly overdramatic and clearly underintellectual. If the thinking student is to make a commitment ' to anything from Christ to Plato to his country, he does it in the privacy of his study, where he can face his conscience and his dignity clearheaded and undisturbed. For that process, he needs neither Billy Graham ' s intoxicating enthu- siasm nor his banal insights ( a Christian is not one who is merely born in a Christian family ). He is tar too fastidious and far too private to blazon his choice in an emotion-charged lecture hall. There are many cases in which the simple truth, though unsatisfactory and o erly ingenuous, can ex.itc the real searcher to greater efforts. The prophet, e en when he is dead wrong, can force th.o;e to whom he preaches to bastion their position merely to defend themselves against him and in the process of bastion-building important insights are often gained. Something of the sort has happened here this week more than once. Still, despite the irrele ance of his message to the special problem of the ' ale undergraduate, the ulti- mate effect of his appearance here was incontro er- tibl) ' tonic.

We were in .1 taxi a tew weeks ago chatting witii a friend about the decline and fall of Adlai Steven- son. After we had been musing for a few minute, the cab driver looked over his shoulder and said. Til tell you what Stevenson ' s trouble was. It ' s cjuite simple: he didn ' t liirc the right public relations outfit. By the time we left the cab we were wondering not about poor Adlai (we think the cabbie was wrong on that score) but about America ' s present preoc- cupation with the working of that elaborate complex of publishing, advertising, motivational researching, and public relations collectively known as Madison Avenue. It ' s a strange thing, but nearly everywhere one goes these days he finds people talking about the enginering of consent, the sex-appeal of auto- mobiles, subliminal advertising, and persuaders of the hard, hidden, and gentle varieties. Nearly everyone is vaguely opposed to the lonely crowd on Madison Avenue. Nearly everyone seems mildly disturbd (in a good natured way) about the organization man, the man in the gray flannel suit with his bag of tricks. The oddest thing of all is even Madison Avenue has been attacking Madison Avenue: witness the extraordinary stream of books (both fiction and non-fiction), magazine articles, television plays and so on which ha ' e poured fordi on this subject through the channels that Madison Avenue controls. It is generally recognized that mass persuasion on a non-rational basis is dangerous business — how- ever necessary it may be for sustaining the national economy. It is not so generally recognized, but equally true, that by filling the air waves and the linotype machines with clap-trap Madison Avenue is teaching the American public to be incredulous and cynical about everything it reads and hears. Gresham ' s Law is at work debasing the coin of communication. As one writer has put it: The smell of public relations work gradually fills the nose of the faithful reader. By what magic is Bernard Daruch at the right hand of God, ' Walter O ' Malley a father of his people, Robert Moses the Ajax of the American way of life, Eisenhower a military genius (no point giving the title to Bradley who deserves It). Thomas Edi:on the greatest American ... No- body really believes this rot but nobody exactly disbelieves it either. Everybody stops believing a:iy- thing. The taxi dri er who told us that all Sievenso ' i needed to win the election was a better public rela- tions firm wa ' -, unwittingly, revealing a remarkable contempt for his fellow citizens and for American politics. Implicitly he was saying, first that the char- acter of political candidates and the issues they pre- sent have become extraneous matters, and second, that candidates can be ' :o thoroughly packaged and perfumed that it ' s i:ot worth believing anytiiing about them. Once we kr.ow that the Federal government em- ploys oxer five thousand public relations men (what It is that they are trying to make palatable for us is not clear) what are we to believe about the des- perately important problems we iice (if indeed we are facing them)? Who does not see the doctored press release behind every news story. ' ' Who does not see (or thinks he sees) the shadow of Robert Montgomery hovering near the ever-smiling Presi- dent. Who does not hear the footsteps of Batten, Barton, Durstine and Osborn rushing in to cover up a leak . ' ' Who knows what to believe.- Who believes anything. ' ' There is a world of difference between a healthy skepticism and this sort of cynical doubt that can corrode and destroy not only the lines of communi- cation but intelligent thought as well. The political scientists have long pointed out that the real utility of propaganda in Nazi Germany was not that it per- suaded people to believe anything in particular but that it led them to doubt everything in general. People can be led to think that everything is possible and tliat nothing is true. It is not entirely clear what (.an and should be done. It is clear that we should stop the fort of idiotic, laughing self-derision that has been going on. I05S YAIJ: ll ' :R A THLETICS I fl- ' ■ ■ ' % h !L i i? ' - amiHiilUBMM LJ ] Elis Capture Big Three Crown by Ben jam in Pearce Hiin s. Ill YALE ' S varsity football team compiled an ex- cellent record of six wins, tv o losses, and a tie for the 1957 season, including a stirring triumph over powerful arch-rival Princeton and an unprecedented rout of Harvard to close out the year. Because of two losses to weaker league opponents. Coach Jordan Olivar ' s squad did not capture the Ivy League title for a second con- secutive year, but did bring home the Big Three honors for an- other season. In the eyes of many Yale football follow- ers, this was a more successful and exciting year than 1956 when a great Blue team rolled to the Ivy League title and an 8-1 record, for the 1957 version was rated as only a so-so team in the league as preseason drills began. Before the opener Oli- var termed the squad green as grass. Then a combination of de- termined spirit, coach- ing skill, and previous- ly hidden individual talent jelled the Elis into a fine football team, able to display winning football of a very high caliber. The season was a tribute to the coaching staff headed by Olivar, now in his sixth year at Yale. Without the aid of spring practice this group developed an effective football machine out of gross inexperience in the four short weeks before the opener, and went right on working with the willing squad until a superlative team emerged in time for the Princeton game. Graduation losses had sorel}- depleted Yale ' s M h C. football forces as the squad gathered in New Haven in September. Gone was the great back- field of Denny McGill, Al Ward, Steve Acker- man, and Dean Loucks, and gone from the pre- vious year ' s championship squad were such line greats as end Paul Lopata and Captain Mike Owseichik. The new captain, guard Jack Embersits, was the only returning starter and the depth chart showed especially great weakness at half- back and tackle. Pessimism was not prevalent as the team gathered in September however, for there u ' as a solid group of talent- ed individuals and a spirited squad on hand. Quarterback Dick Win- terbauer, fullback Gene Coker, and ends John Pendexter and Mike Cavallon were estab- lished veterans of con- siderable merit. Rear- rangement of positions strengthened other areas such as center, where Lanny Baird took over. And there were some nev ' finds to round out the eventual starting eleven: halfbacks Herb Hal las and Rich Wm- kler and linemen Paul Lynch, A I Puryear, and Harry Olivar. Once again the Uni- versity of Connecticut provided the opening day opposition for the Elis, but the game received a different billing this year. The cries of inexperi- ence from New Haven and one of UConn ' s finest teams prophesied the possibility of Yale ' s first defeat at the hands of a team within the state of Connecticut. The prediction was unfounded; Yale i.i. K.u VSclltmoct Vtaluiv IjVillK K..ht FclJIx.uv. IVnt.fJ Ficcnun Imsl RiddK Ciiirnl Mnuii. X ' liipplc 1 tnj R.-u DiFuImo PfluK Hontiu. Hcmplitll.

Quarterback Art LaVailie car- ritxl over on an option play for the final ' alc M )re Brown came to the Bowl at the beginning of October to ()|xn Yale s Ivy League season. The liighly regarded Bruins made it an inauspicious tarf for the Young Eli sc uad, scoring the win- ning touchdown in the last minute of play The icttrmined Brown team, attempting to rebound from a surprise upset at the hands of Columbia the week before, displayed a superiority over Yale in almost cAer) ' statistical department, con- trolling the ball on Kl plays to only 1 for the ' iivet Elis. Despite a first half inability to capitalize on opportunities, Yale held the lead for most of the game before Frank Finney scored on a ten-yard run and Marty Moran added the decisive extra point for a 21-20 victory. For Yale it was a disappointing loss. Attcr spotting Brown a 14-7 lead in the third quarter, the Elis roared back for two touchdowns and ap- peared to have the game sewed up. Yale opened its scoring in the first period after Winkler iiad run deep into Brown territory. Hallas plunged over for the score. A ten-yard Winterbauer pass to Stu Horwitz gave Yale its first third period tally, but Don Wall ' s conversion try missed, which ultimately cost Yale at least a tie. Within minutes Yale had taken the lead. When rushed ;n a pass attempt, Finney sent a wobbly toss into tiie arms of Eli guard Bob Mallano, who raced 55 yards for the touchdown. Unfortunately, that was the limit of Yale ' s scoring punch that after- noon. The loss was to prove decisive in denying Yale a second Ivy League title. Unsung and unknown as to actual game abil- ity, Columbia was Yale ' s next opposition in the Bowl. SlK)wing none of the strength that had beaten Brown, the Lions did very little right against the Elis. To add to the disappointing show, Yale could nt)t do much correctly either. The Blue won, 19-0, simply by being the deeper, mere talented squad. Scoring twice, fullback Coker displayed the line play which carried him to recognition on the all-h7 and all-New Eng- land teams. At times Yale played alert defensive football. After letting the Lions get a first down Riddle b.id lo on their own nine in the second quarter, the Elis tightened up as Coker stopped Harvey Brookins on a fourth down attempt to score from the half- foot mark. Yale started its scoring in the first period when Coker intercepted a dangerous flat pass by Columbia quarterback Dick Donelli on the Lion 46 and raced all the way to score. An- other Columbia miscue set up the next Yale score as an alert Pete Wight pounced on a fumble in the second quarter. After LaVallie took over for a slightly injured Winterbauer and directed the team downfield, Coker broke loose for 22 yards and a score. After gatiiering in a LaVallie pass, Pendexter scampered 1 5 yards for a touchdown .• A t%J Vimlnkjarri rjitjl Jutplion. {o iliisc nut lilt ■x.nfjii fiir Yale.

Parents who have faithfully visited Yale for thrc-e years to witness the Colgate amc had not vet scxn a Yale triumph despite c-ncrally suc- cessful seasons. The Red Raiders were the Ivy i illers. having tied and then beaten the Elis twice m the past three years and upset Prime-ton the vcek before. In 1957. however, the steadily im- ;irovin Elis completely dominated the visitors, vinninji;, 20-0. Despite Colgate s control of play in tiic first quarter, Yale rallied, capitalizing on its opponents ' mistakes, to score once in the sec- ond and twice in the third period. Winterbauer continued on his way to setting an all-time touch- down pass record with numbers six and seven of the year. Halfback Winkler, who scored twice, and Coker stood out in the Yale backfield while the line, headed by center Baird, held Colgate in check save for a first quarter lapse. It was a game of doing the right thing at the right time for Yale, as Coker pounced on fumbles and Winkler and Winterbauer intercepted wayward Raider passes. Winterbauer tosses of 1 3 and five yards to Winkler and Cavallon gave Yale its first tv.o touchdowns. Winkler dashed around end tor seven yards and Yale ' s last touchdown. After breaking the Colgate jinx, one could say that Yale ' s season was already vindicated and success- ful. But the excitement had just begun, and certainly the real success was still to come. For the Elis were about to head into the thick of Ivy League competition where every mtivcment. every score was significant. Along with November came Dartmouth. The charges of Bob Blackman had massacred Brown, conqueror of Yale, and had moved into the ranks of the nation ' s top 20 teams. They came to the Bowl with a highly distinguished rating from the Yale scouts. The underdog Elis set out to disprove the reputation the Big Green liad achieved, and had their goal all but reached when an official ' s error and a subsequent touch- down in the closing seconds of the game denied the deserving Bulldogs their victory. Yale was forced to settle for a 14-M tie; as a result the Ivy League title began to look beyond the grasp of the defending champions. To the amazement of the crowd of 47,000 fans gathered in the damp Bowl, the grimly determined Elis foug ht back from a seven point deficit in the first halt to score in both of the last two periods, the tie- ■■Tbt Golden A t t fl .  ■• , k v-mLj breaking score coming witli only one minute and ■iO seconds remaining in tlic game. Tlien tlie im possible liappened. After the ensuing kickolT In dian quarterback Dave Bradley was chased but completed a belated pass to Dave Moss on the Yale 40. At this point Yale was penalized IS yards for the illegal substitution of Bill Mac- Lean, a tine pass rusher.

Once considered little more than an also-ran in Ivy Ix-ague com[xtition, Yale was only thrtx- |x ints and two minutes away from the coveted ranks of the unbeaten and untied. Oi limism prevailed; the letdown was incvil able. It came the next wcxkenil against tlie most improbable of opponents, ' ale travelled to Ph.l- adelphia to encounter a Penn team that had not bixn victorious in six outings during the season. Hut the determined Quakers swept the inept hulldogs right out of Franklin l icld with three cxond-lulf touchdowns anil a iV2() triumph, i ' enn was lighting for an initial win as well as he reputation and )ob of its coach Ste e Sebt). Vale had nothing to lose but a f H tball game; lie Ivy League title was virtually beyond reach. Ihe nils were almost totally metfe-ctive defcn- ively. and worst of all. the most vital cog in lieir offense, ejuarlerback W ' mterbauer, w.is h.i ' ng what was to be his only off day of tl He completed only four of II passes In the first [xriod it ap[xared that this Sat irday would simply see another uneventful Yale vin.

Hallas tallied the first on 1 short plunge and his halfback male, Winkler. he other on a long pass from Winterbauer mm- trXv ■ r R!?C i utes later. Penn rushed back on long runs by Bill Young and Frank Riepl to the score at half- time, and continued its impressive offensive dis- play with three touchdovv ' os after intermission and a solid 33-13 lead. As the game drew to a close reserve quarterback Pudge Henkel came into action and led an 80-yard scoring drive, topped off by Tom Lorch ' s touchdown plunge. As the Big Three games approached with arch-rivals Princeton and Harvard, the Yale team was a team on the rebound, hungry for victory. In the most startling gridiron upset of the entire Ivy League season, a deft Blue eleven could not move on the ground hut could not miss through the air and sent the Tigers down to a 20-13 de- feat in packed Palmer Stadium. Yale reigned su- preme by virtue t)f two factors: an ability to produce at the opportune moment and the un- beatable pass-and-catch combination of Winter- bauer and Cavallon, who scored all three Yale touchdowns. Ably assisted by the imaginative strategic innovations of Coach Olivar, the Yak- team reached its peak of football perfection on this raw Saturday afternoon. The Elis played football with unprecedented polish — the offense was diversified and fast, the passing was frequent and successful, the defense was tight and effec- tive, and spirit was everywhere apparent, ex- hausting both spectator and player alike. Yale struck for a tally immediately after the opening kickoft ' . After the visitors had mi) ' ed the ball to their own 3.S, Winterbauer found Cavallon free in a surprisingly porous Princeton pass defense and hit the big end with a pass on the Tiger ' s 29. Despite the nearness of two de- BciJ day M r I. ,11 til II FnU. A hiiiii.iii u:i!l ijii lis tui .11 Pi fenders, Cavallon shook loose and negotiated the remaining distance to the end zone. But b} ' the end of the first quarter Princeton had a 7 i- yard scoring drive near its cuhnination, mostly through the passing combination of Jim Mottley and Dan Sachs. A short dash by Tom Morris produced the tieing score. Yale would not be outdone. Before the halftime intermission, the Elis had once again driven deep into Princeton territory. With the ball on the 27-yard line Yak- employed a surprise tactic. On a pitchout to our fullback, Coker suddenly reared back and passed. He had never thrown in collegiate competition, hut his first attempt was as successful as it was slmcking, dropping into Cavallon ' s dutstrctched hands for a second Yale touchdown. Just as Yale had struck after the opening kiekoff ' , Princeton scored after running back the second half kickofi. Fullback Fred Tiley wedged over for the score. But his extra point try missed, and Yale ' s lead was intact. Princeton never threatened the Elis again as a tiring line held firm. On the other hand, Yale tallied again. In the final quarter Winterbauer hit Cavallon on the goal line for an insurance score and Cav- allon ' s third touchdown oi the afternoon. Win- terbauer had tied the all-time career scoring pass record at 17. Winterbauer needed only one more touch- down pass in the seasons finale against Harvard to break the record. He outdid himself, throwing for three scores. In fact the entire Yale team outdid itself as it rolled up the greatest number of points ever scored against Harvard in destroy- ing the Crimson, 54-0. The Big Three title was Yale ' s for a second straight year, and the Elis had unofficially proven themselves to be the finest football team in the Ivy League. In one 151 horrendous afttrntion on tlic gridiron. Yale had made up for the misfortunes which cost victor)- over Brown and Dartmouth and the let-down which produced the Penn debacle. The Blue squad, from tiie Cokers and the Embersits ' down to the last junior varsity player who saw action, could do no wron in The Game. Scoring twice in tlie first period and tiiree times in the next, the Elis left Har ard far behind from the out- set.

Minulc-s later W ' intcrbauer passes to Cavallon and Winkler niovcxl the ball to the Harvard 2 , from where the man with the ma ic arm hit Cavallon for a touchdown. Scoring produition sped up as Hallas a ain t things f oing in the second period with a four-yard run for one store, closely followt-vl by Cavallon ' s seventh TD of the year, and a H -yard sc rin dash by Curran. As the bands marched onto the field at half lime the count stiHKl at M-0. Tlic rout had to end soon. Hut injuries and the banishment of star halfback ( iici Boulris from the ame rendered Harvard pnverless. The strains of CumkI Ni ht. P H)r Harvard played by the Yale band were c%(x cially meaningful. Olivar kept his first unit in action for only a brief period in tlie scxond half, but it was sufficiently lon to garner another score. Winterbauer made his scoring pass rcxord an even 20 witli a spcxtacular ' i ' -yard toss to Hallas. The reserves poured inti) the ame, and on the last play of the third cjuarter LiVallie passed to Frcxman in the end zone to make it JS-O. Midway through the final cjuarter of ) ' ) ' ' ' ale fiK tball, Henkel passed and ran his team ■ ' ' yards to the Crimson three. Carr in on the fake pass option, the senior cjuarterback hustled intti the end zone to break the all-time scoring rcxord against Harvard. No scxiner was the sea.son over than honors be an to heap on individual Eli players. Captain Embersits, Cjvallon. and Choker were named to the all-h League team. Bcxause of the presence of Princtlon ' s su|xrlative blinkin j back and (]uarterback, John SajXKh. Winterbauer was de- niixJ a spt t on the first team.

Carmodv THE Ivy League ch.impinns of the 1956 soccer season returned to New Haven in September with every hope of retaining their title. Gradua- tion left the Elis without the services of the scoring team, insides Mike Cooke and Lars Kulle- seid, and all-Ivy halfback Bob Pelletreau. How- ever, there was a sufficient number of new faces on the bench to fill up these holes. Whit Wagner and Buzz Dimond, outstanding players on fresh- man teams three and two years ago, were playing with the varsity for the first time and were prom- ising replacements for Cooke and Pelletreau, while Gene Scott, captain and high scorer t)f last year ' s freshman team, could be dependetl upon as a top-notch replacement anywhere along the right side of the front line. Phil Stevenson and Neil Van Horn were mov- ing up to the first team at the left halfback and right fullback positions. Perry Bascom, who had started at center forward last year after high scor- ing Luis Aguilar was injured, was switched to left inside as Aguilar moved into his usual po- sition. The rest of last year ' s team remained intact with Scott Murphy at goal, captain Sam Allen at left fullback, Harry Gridley at right halfback. Bill Andrews and Jim Sampliner at the outsides. It was, at the very least, a good team on paper. However, even before the first game was played, there occurred some setbacks that were to affect the team for the rest of the season. Dimond developed shin splints which limited his effectiveness until the middle of November: and the- team, playm  itlK ut A ilar. lost prc-scastm s«.rimma c to the University of Briil t port by the store of lO- an indiiatmn of tlu fiirward line n ile|xndemy on A uilar for setting up Storing p ' - ' V - T ' ' ' • ' ' • ' ' ' i ' ' ' i • ' day before tlie o|x-nin; ame with tlie L ' nivcr sity of Connc tii jt; tlie F.astern C.ollepiate At: letic C«)nferente revoked A uilars amateur status beiause he liad played on an amatetir basis- for a team with some professional players in it.

On the f«)llowing Saturday, Stott added to his total with two more goals, as the team edged out an underrated Brown team by the setire of 2-1 in a liard fought game. The iK. t fti.r games were playeii while the ■..im was plagued with injuries and Asian i]u Gridlev had suffered a sprained ankle and Wag ner ' s rtu attaek devele ped into pneumonia which was to keep him out of play until (he Princeton game. In an exceedingly rough g.mie in which Andrews and Scott were injured, a perenniaih inferior Army team rolled over ' ale with a sur- jHising VO win. Army outhuslkd. outplayed .md outlasted tile l:lis before a strongly partisan irowd of 2.01)0. The Army loss made the team more alert for its next game with Navy. Wagner was still out . f play, and Murphy and Bill Parkhurst were in- red at the  utsel; nevertheless Sampliner and lex Frklentz. a substitute halfback play ng insiilc ..;hl. each scored to give tiiirdstring goalie Ro ' am a 2-0 shutout.

M.ki.iii jt ; • and Carlos Edcr maneuvered past the Spring- field fullbacks and goalie to score unassisted. However, the Gymnasts soon caught up and went ahead for their sixth consecutive win in the New England League. Wins over Wesleyan and Dartmouth m the following week worked to maintain Yale ' s con- tending position for both the Ivy League and New England League championships. The Wes- leyan team, ridden with flu, turned in a weak performance as Yale won with goals by Andrews, Bascom, and Scott. Dartmouth, looking for its first win of the season, held Yale to an hour and 26 minutes of scoreless soccer, before Scott scored the only goal in the final two minutes of play, giving substitute goalie Mike Rafferty a shutout. Rafiferty, a newcomer to the varsity, played an amazing game. Andrews was ejected from the contest, and the whole affair ended in a general fight. The following week Penn inflicted a 3-1 defeat on the Elis. The lone Yale goal was again scored by Scott, in a game characterized by Eli lassitude. Lapses in the Yale defense in the first half led to the three Quaker goals. This defeat ended any Ivy League title hopes for the Blue. At full strength for the first time all season, the team outran, outshot, and outpilayed Princeton in a high-spirited game, but never combined for an effective scoring punch until the last seven minutes of play when Bascom scored; unfortu- nately, Princeton ' s Tom Baskett had scored two goals on fast breaks which gave Princeton a 2-1 ictory and the Ivy League championship. Even though Andrews was injured in the first quarter, and Erklentz was sidelined with a broken toe, the Princeton game was Yale ' s finest performance. The following week Harvard coasted to a -1-2 win over the Yale team which could neither organize its defenses nor its attack. The two Yale goals were scored by Bascom and Sampliner. The final tally at the end of the season shov. ' ed a 5-6 record, only the second losing team under Coach Marshall in his eight year Yale coaching career. Credit should be given to Sam Allen, wlio did a fine job as captain, in spite of the disappointing show of his team. The Walter Lee- mann Trophy, annually awarded to the senior who is outstanding in sportsmanship and team spirit, went to Harry Gridley. Although it was a losing season, several mem- bers of the Yale team were given recognition for their outstanding play. Van Horn at right fullKick, and Gridley at right halfback, were elected to the all-Ivy first team. Sampliner was chosen for the forward line of the second team, and Andrews was given an honorable mention. At tlie annual soccer banquet, Neil Van Horn, the one strong point of the Yale defenses all season, was elected next year ' s captain.

Playing in spurts of brilliance and periods of lethargy, the team failed to keep the Ivy League Crovsn, but finished well in tying Princeton for second place. The Elis finished the season with a nine and five record in the league, and an oxcrall one ot 1 t-io. Hov ever, they were better than the record m- dicates, and defeated powerful squads. At the start of the season prospects were high. Only three members of last year ' s squad had graduated, but one of them was big Ed Robinson whose rebounding strength was instrumental in last year ' s success. Coach Vancisin ' s problem was to find an adequate replacement to fill Robby ' s big shoes. After the November first practice session, it looked like towering 6 ' 1() Gerry Glynn and 6 ' 5 Sterling Harwell were the twn choices. Lettermen John Lee, Larry Downs, Tom Sargent, George Thompson, Tom Molumphy, and Bill Bodman were all back to fill in around the pivot man. Hopes ran high during the pre- season practices as Glynn began to fit into the experienced patterns of his teammates. Just prior Captain Coach Alc.nager John J. Lee, Jr. Joseph Vancisin Emory W. Buck to the opening game these hopes were se ' erely set back upon the word that Glynn had incurred a kidney ailment and would be unable to play. The season opened its season with a game against Springfield at home. Yale came out on top with an easy win, showing several encourag- ing signs. Captain Lee and his forward running- mate. Downs, served notice that they were out to continue their high scoring barrage. The duo got 21 and 20 points respectively. The team ' s defense again looked strong, holding the visitors to 51 points. Rebounding, the big question, was impressive; the team pulled down 79 rebounds with Downs and Harwell doing fine individual jobs. Everyone knew this was not a tair indica- tion of the team ' s ability; so tinal judgment was put otf a few days until the first big game of the year, Connecticut. Playing on the road as under- dogs, the Elis were superb in victory, 79-74. Back i?o«— Vancisin (Co.ich). Mczger, Downs. Glynn. Harwell, Isenheii;. McFaJJcn. Buck (Manager), FitzsimmonJs (Trainci).

In the league opener against Dartmouth y Hanover. Yale was decisively bc-aten 82- ' ' o. Out lougiit and out-hustle-d. the team was a far cr from the squad that kept fighting its way bail before vacation. The only encouraging note w.i the news that Glynn was to return to actioi for the next game. He saw limited action in the win over Penn on Januar)- tenth, and the following night he was brilliant in a tough los-- to Princeton, 9-77. Scoring 21 points and gar ncring A rebounds, Glynn promisc-d to help the team immensely. To wind up the g.mits before exams, tw( nrn-league wins were posted over Amherst and rmv. At exam time the re-cord stixid at six wins against seven losses, with only league games It after the break. To start the linal lap of tlie season, the team urneyed to Harvard where they once .ig.iin ipsed into their cxcasional uninspiring play. Ikaten by .m H2-7{) cc unt. the hope- of a repe.il n the league race was dim. I ' ndefeated Dart Duth was the team to beat, and Yale had al ady lost threx- big games. However, excitedly lapping out of the slump, the Elis .mnexed two nj- ' re-ssive wins on the road over Penn and Princeton. The offensive unity, rebounding, and defense all returned at once. Sargent was out- •.(.inding Ktth defensively and offensively, while Cilynn continued to improve. The nils outfought Brown to an SV6t win in a real team effort. The st.ige was set for tlie last Dartmouth game. The Iniluns were still unbeaten, and a victory w.is a must With Glynn. Lee. and Downs |xrforming with a vengeance, the Bulldogs upset D.irtmoulh. 70.67. They were back in the race again. Playing at Brown, the team was thoroughly outplayed by the hustling Bruins, and lost. 7.j.c,7.

By winnin t; all 12 meets this year, the team extended its consecutive dual meet victory strint; to 170. Yale swimming teams have won 519 against only 12 losses during Coach Robert Kiphuth ' s reign. Although the Blue team was never pushed to its maximum performance in any of its dual meets, the EISL championships tested the speed and stamina of all who swam. The season ' s rec- ords indicate a strong showing in the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) meet and in the Amateur Athletic Union ( AAU) meet yet to come.

Columbia fell next, Jik,- Priestly and Taft winning the 220 and 100 frtx-style events res|xxtively. Here Yak- lost only two events. Meeting a hkhI Darlmoutli tcim at Hanover, the Blue mermen emerged « n top of a 5H-2H score.

Quent Kessell ' s 2 i.O in the 50 and Smoky Bissell ' s win in the 200 breast- stroke added points to Yale ' s 60-26 victory over the University of Connecticut. Jecko finished the 200 butterfly in 2:08.0, setting new NCAA and Brundage Pool records, while teammate Ander- son lowered the 220 pool mark to 2:07.3. At Princeton, Anderson ' s 2:16.5 in the 220 set a Dillon Pool record as the Yale team handed the Tigers a 56-30 defeat. In this meet, Sherman turned in his best breaststroke time of the season in 2:30.9. Springfield fell next as sprinter Hibbard ' s 100 in 51.6 and backstroker Earley ' s 200 in 2:1 .1 added points to the 65-21 score. In the final dual meet of the season. Harvard fell, 58-28, as the Yale medley relay team of Dolbey ( 58.-4), Ko- letsky (65.0), Jecko (53.4), and Anderson (48.7) combined forces to clock in at 3:45.5, thus establishing new American, NCAA, and Yale records. Their time bettered the world rec- ord of 3:46.0 by 0.5 seconds, but will not be recorded as such since it was swum in a short course pool. Sprinter Hibbard polished off the 50 in 22.9, his best time of the season, while breast- stroker Koletsky, hard pressed by Harvard ' s Stanley, finished in a record 2:24.3, setting new NCAA and Yale standards. Alexander added points by finishing the 220 in 2:15.5; Fred Mazer also performed well, winning the 440 in 4:55.7. The Eastern Intercollegiate Swimming League individual swimming championships, in which no team score is kept, showed that Yale had a strong team again this year. The Elis won 24 medals in 16 events by placing men in every event, winning eight of them, and sweeping 2-3-4 in another. In the preliminary trial heats it was evident that Yale ' s better conditioned team would dominate the forthcoming finals, as Eli swimmers performed well in winning close races. The opening event of the meet was the 1 500 meter freestyle, in which Alexander swam very well, placing sixth in 2():30.d. In the 50 yard freestyle Bronston, Hibbard, and Lusk scored 2-3-4 behind Nicholson of Brown in an ex- tremely close race. Anderson easily wnn the 100 yard freestyle in ' io.d, while Bronston finished third in 52.2, and Lusk, fifth in 52.6. As the freestyle distances lengthened, the strength of the Blue team became more evident, as two men placed in the 220 yard freestyle. Defending champion Anderson finished in a record time of 2:05.2, thus breaking the late John Marshall ' s meet record of 2:06.8. Alexander edged out Graf of Dartmouth to place fifth in 2:14.6. In the -440 yard freestyle Anderson once again showed the way, outdistancing the field in 4:38.6, thus winning his third event of the meet.

Perry, and Hibhard swam hard, finishing fourth in 1:00.7 behind a fast Hanard team wlmh sei a m:et record of 3: 7. in the UM) yard medley relay. Next year the team will suffer from graduation, but the habit of winning will probably mntinue Team Registers Four Wins in League Play THE 1957-58 varsity hockey team started practice in mid-October on a disappointing note. Tiie new David S. Ingalls Rink would not be completed until the following year. The team played 22 games, winning eight, losing 12, and tying two. Yale played some good hockey and some very poor hockey, but looking at the sched- ule, which is the toughest in the East, very good was often not good enough. Ho ' e er, the team finished fairly well in that it tied Brown for second place in the Ivy race, with a --i record in league play. On the whole, while disappointing, the season was one of experience and hope as only four lettermen will be lost at graduation. Captain Dick Starratt got the season off to a good start by netting two goals in an easy win over a rough hut inexperienced Northeastern team. Tufts likev ' ise fell before a strong Eli attack to the tune of 7-1. Again D:ck ,Starratt netted two goals from his defensive position. The next Saturday Yale began the toughest phase of its schedule. In eight days the team took on R.P.I., Boston University, Clarkson, and Saint Lawrence, the last three games on the road. Skating well against a fast R.P.I, team Yak- kept the high scoring men from Troy pretty Cdpldin Coach A anagei Richard C. Starratt Mlirrav Murdoch Ronald C. Bairii much contained through the first period. Good defensive work by Starratt, Bruce Smith, and Ted Ward, and some outstanding goal tending by Gerry Jones were the high points of the game. But a costly penalty in the second period led to three quick R.P.I, goals. This was all that was needed even though Yale tried to break through repeatedly and finally succeeded when Ed Mc- Gonagle took a pass from Al Beadleston and scored in the third period. At Boston Yale played some very good hockey, especially the first line of Harvey Mell, Tommy Goodale, and Dave McNamara. They accounted for all of Yale ' s scoring. But B.U. was not tt) be denied as their starting five Canatlicns bunched together tv o goals at the end of the second pe- riod and two more against a tiring Yale defense in the third to win, 6-2. At C larkson Yale for two periods held the best team in the East to a standstill. Checking furiously ail o er the ice and 165 .iisplavin a crisp passing attack, Yale, kJ by I ' rank Lloyd ' s liat trick went into tlic third period trailing only 1-3. Superior speed, iiowever, finally paid off for Clarkson as in outburst of four goals in the last [x-riod more than nullitied Yale ' s two. At Saint Lawrence the team played some of the iXKjrest hockey of the year. Only a record dl Navc-s by goalie Jonc kept the score to a reason .ible ' •I.

Starling the Ivy League season Yale met Dart mouth at Hanover only to surfer a humiliating defeat by a -2 vore. Hie Hlis finally broke into he winning column with a solid victory over Pnivi dence College. They showed real promise, iiowc-xer, in the Army game. In one of the best jMaye-d, most exciting games seen at the Arena since the 1-0 Harvard game two years ago, Yale and Army played to a l-l tie. Bob Karle led the Yale attack with thrc-c goals and G«M dale picked up the other. After the exam break. Yale journeyed to Prov idence to take on Brown for the sexond time. Playing their be t game of the year, the Yale defense complelely bottled up a gmid Brown offense. Le bv Starratt and backed up by Jones. Yale achic ed its first shutout in two years, J-O. The following Wednesday saw a free scoring contc-st at the Arena with Boston College coming out on the long end of an 8-5 store. The high point of the season came with the second Dart mouth game. L i iking every bit as good as the Montreal Canadiens. Yale swam|xd the Green in all departments. Beautiful stick-handling, chtxking. defc-nsive work, and just plain spirit ciimbintd to give Yale a 7-3 vidory. The first line of Mell. McGonaglc. and Gixxlale was par 166 ticularly impressive. Yale continued to win in the same fashion and Princeton fell victim by a 3-1 score. Dave McNamara and Tom Crosby netted the key goals. In the Brown game Yale suffered a complete reverse of form. Brown play- ing one of its finest games combined with one of Yale ' s poorest to give the Bruins a solid 7-0 victory. Getting back to vsinning ways at Prince- ton before a packed house at Baker Rink, the Elis poured in four goals in the last period to over- whelm the Tigers, 5-1. Against Middlcbury the team just couldn ' t seem to get going and lost, 7-3. Before a capacity house at the Arena, Yale faced a truly great Harvard team. After playing a fine first period Yale was swept away by the stick of Bill Cleary who scored five points v ith two goals and three assists. The only bright spot was a beautiful solo score by Harvey Mell in the third period. However, Cantab pressure was gen- erally too much for the outclassed Bulldogs, and in spite of the brilliant goal tending of Jones, the team found itself on the short end of a 6-2 score. The contest against A.I.C. v,as an anti- climax and Yale won handily, 11-1, with a fine job in the nets turned in by Lee Ault. The second Harvard game was another show of Crimson power. Performing hke a well-oiled machme, they never really let Yale in their zone for more than one shot at a time and won easily, 6-0. Even though the season was a disappointment record-wise, the squad showed a good deal of promise for the coming years. During the cam- paign the budding sophomores gamed much needed experience. Captain Starratt did a fine job in leading the team. Seniors Mell, McNamara, Beadleston, and Ault were a solid performing and very important part of the team. But the out- look is to the future. Led by all-Ivy Captain-elect Goodale the team has a solid nucleus of juniors and sophomores. Given this year ' s experience and incentive of a new rink, Yale could easily give Murray Murdoch an Ivy League championship in the near future. Bjit R-nr— Wrmley (Trainer), Baird (Mana.mr).

COACH JOHN ODONNELL ' S Big Three Wrestling Champions ended the season in a blaze of glory after a disappointing early losing streak of six straight. The Blue finally finished second in the Ivy League with a 3-2-1 league record, and an overall one of ,3-6-1. The season started badly with losses to Ru tgers, Cornell, Army, Springfield, Lehigh and Brown. However, in the last four matches the surging grapplers beat Columbia, 23-3, Princeton, 16-11, Harvard, 16-10, and tied Penn, 15-15. It was tiiis tie that gave them second place in the league, for two teams were tied with 3-3 records. Captain Jack Kohr and junior Andy Fitch led the varsity this year, along with seniors Ted Reese and Rory Cross, and eight sophomores. Jack deLabry, Bob Schoenemann, Chris Seger, Steve Easter, Tom Miller, Ale.x Slaughter, Norm Baker, and Bing Sherrill, who will provide an able nucleus for next year.

Wclji WITH a strong senior nucleus composed of I-rolic Weymouth, Peter Carleton, Bark Hickox, and Perry Welch, the Yale polo team began its 1957-58 season shortly after the begin- ning of practice with a foray in the south, tying the University of Virginia, 6-6. Throughout the remainder of the season Carleton, playing a fast game at number one position, was high scorer for the team. Captain Weymouth, who had been siiifted from his last year ' s offensive position, did a remarkable job at defense, vshile Coach A! Marenholz alternated Hickox and Welch in po- sition three. The next two games after Christmas proved victorious hn the Elis, with a 28-17 win over Maule and a l4-6 decision in the game against Rice Farms. The Elis ' first defeat, a very narrow one, was dealt by the New Haven Polo Club, which maintained a 14-13 edge in the last mo- ments of the game. Yale was handed a 15-10 defeat in its game with the Long Island Polo Club, a formidable opponent with its renowned Herb Pennell. Also Coach Gi:()R(ii- A. Weymouth Albert Marenholz Jack B. Greenwell, Jr. costly were two losses to Cornell: H-Il in a home game which had been tied at half-time, and 22-20 in a close game which was played at Ithaca. One of the notable games of the season came as Yale trounced the ' Virginia Polo Club, 21-5. However, the following weeks the defending champions were upset by Cornell, 20-4, in the National Intercollegiate Championships. Wey- mouth was still playing with an injured hand from the last Cornell game, and Carleton had an unfortunate spill, receiving a serious concussion and shoulder injury. Finally, in the Sherman Five-Goal Tournament in New York, Yale suc- cumbed to the Mt. Carmel team, 10-6. Perhaps the greatest loss will be that of the senior foursome of Weymouth, Carleton, Hickox, and Welch, but next year ' s team looks hopefully to the future. 171 Ski Team Retains Class A Rarino; DnSPITE |Toor skiinj; uc-aclicr early in tlit siasun and llic laik of practice  lopc in flic New Haven area, tlie ski leain retained its Class A rating amonj; the eastern colleges. With only two men lost from 19 ' ' . the team, «ith a roup of promising sophomores, entered the 19 8 season with bright hopes. The season be an with the Dartmouth Car- nival. The team made a ood showing in the slalom, due to Jim Laird winning time in the first run and Rolf Clark s fourth place in the second run. A sixth and an eighth by Clark and Laird in the downhill avc the team a fourth in this event. Captain Bob Cushman jumped well. Don Backc was disc]ualified in the cross-countr)-. due to broken skis. This mishap dropped the team to eij;hth. At the Williams Carnival the following wc-ek- end, the team had no time for ' practice on the course and Yale finished in eighth place again. Clark ' s tenth place in the downhill-slalom was tlie only bright spot in an otherwise unsuccessful wc-ekcnd. Results were much brighter at the Eastern Class A championships at Middlcbur) ' the fol- lowing wc-ek. but inconsistenty again prevented Yale from gaining a much higher standing. Clark recorded tlie fourth best time in the first run of the slalom, but a fall in the scxond run kepi him from a sure sctond plate. Cushman antl sopho- more Dean Palmer gained for Yale a g(x d sixth place. Tlie [xrformancc-s of sophomores Bob Hankc and Hank Swan in the jump provider! the team another sixth. Lack of familiarity with the downhill course and our traditional weakness in cross-country dropjxrd the team to eighth plate but was enough for retention of a Class A status. The season ended will with the Har ' ard- Bromle)- Giant Slalom. Yale got an excellent rd place behind Middleburi|- and Williams, but ahead of five other teams including NCAA champion Dartmouth. Clark, Palmer, and Cush- man finished ninth, 12th. and 2()th, rc-spertively to bring the team its trophy. 172 Nine Maintains Eastern Reign ETHAN ALLEN ' S strong Yale nine continued to reign as Eastern Intercollegiate Baseball League champions, as the Blue won first place for the third consecutive year. Paced by a nucleus of six returning lettermen, the team was able to conclude the season with a 11-12-1 record. Stand- outs for Yale were Ray Carlsen, wlio led the league in pitching with a 5-0 record, and Ray Lamontagne, who batted .367 for sixth in the league. Though 1957 was a building year for Yale as it was necesary to fill vacated positions all around the diamond. Coach Allen was able to emerge with a winning combination that proved to be topflight. Returning lettermen shortstop Ron Cheney, third-baseman Art Bober, catcher Colin Gracey, center-fielder Lamontagne, pitcher Carlsen. and left-fielder Tim Brown sparked the Blue, while Tom Molumphy at second base, Derry Clay in right field, first-baseman Bill Col- ville, and alternate left-fielder Mike Scliumann provided the necessary cx)hesion to yield a well- balanced team. During spring vacation the team went tn Florida, where the season was opened March 19 against the University of Miami. As in all the games on the Southern tour, most of the team Captain Coach ALuiager Colin B. Gracey Ethan Allen Frank M. Devney saw action and had a (.lianLC to iron out some of the winter stiffness. Yale lost two games to Miami and then concluded the series with a staggering 2 3-7 victory. The Elis also played Florida Southern, Duke, Michigan State, and Florida State. The trip South proved unsuccessful from a winning point of view, as the Bulldogs won two and lost nine games. In the first regular game of the 1957 season the Elis defeated NYU, 4-2, as Carlsen, Yale ' s strong right-handed pitcher, held the New York- ers to six hits. Molumphy, Yale shortstop, and Carlsen were the big guns for Yale, as each had a triple. It was intelligent base running which won the game for the Bulldogs, however; Ted Greensfelder, Molumphy, and Lamontagne were accredited with stolen bases. In the Ft)rdham game Yale had considerable trouble in getting a pitching combination that could hold the invaders, as four pitchers were used.

Brown and Lamontagne ac- tounicd for Yale s two runs, but the Elis were pla iui-d by four errors, which proved to be the dcxidin factor in the outcome of the pame. ' S ' ale s second victory of the sexson came against Amherst. Id- 5. The Bulldop played top- notch ball all the way. as the)- rackc-d up ten hits to Amherst s four and were in control all the way. Four of ' ale s runs came in the fourth inning with the aid of singles by shortstop C heney and catcher Greensfelder. Lamontagne was the outstanding player of the day for tlie Bulldogs, as he scored four runs, one via the home run route and one by means of a steal home. Carlscn showed his finc-st form and control, as he pitched the Elis to a shutout -l-O victory over Columbia. Although he gave up seven hits, they were scattered throughout the game, and he was in control of the ball game all the way. Carlscn had a go xl day behind the plate ' , also, with two hits and two runs. Lamontagne had two hits, one run. and three runs-battcd-in. As a result t f a 41 win in the Army game. tl e defending champion Elis tcxik over first place position cKCupied by Navy and were on their way to another EIBL championship. Bruic Irving, a promising sophomore pitcher, went all the way for the Bulldogs, giving up only five hits, all of which were singles. Army s only seritms scoring threat came in tl)e fourth inning, but it was scjuelchcd by a spectacular catch by Bober, the third-baseman. Excellent base running, heads-up ball, and a two-run triple by C.arlsc-n in tlit fourth inning highlighted the game. |-ollowing the victory over Army, ' alc was handed a dtxisive defeat by Lafayette, ' M, on the Yale Field. Superior pitching by the opposition limited the Bulldogs to four scattered singles. Yale pitchers Dick Sheinbaum and Dick Smith limitc-d the invaders to only six hits, but again, costly errors enabled the alert Lafayette nine to take the game. The strong pitching of Carlscn plus the hit- ting of Molumphy and first baseman Colville Ic-d the way to a 7-2 victory over a strong Na y team. Colville was the man of the day with three hits in four times at bat, batting in twd runs and scoring once himself. The hitting of Lamc ntagne gave ' alc the H-7 edge over Penn in a close, hard-fought ball game. Lamontagne had a home run and a double, and Walt Lc- ering scored three of the Elis ' eight runs. Lamontagne continued to be the core of the 17-1 Elis ' hitting power when Yale met Providence, as he hit another home run for tiie Bulldogs and scored two of Yale ' s five runs. Although Provi- dence held the Yale nine to four hits, excellent base running and fielding made up for the deficit. Scheinbaum went all the way for ' ale and held Providence to five hits, as the Elis won, 5-2. In the Connecticut game Yale had difiiculty in finding the opposition ' s vulnerable spots, as Yale was excelled in hitting, fielding, and pitch- ing. Two crucial double plays by Connecticut put an end to Yale ' s only serious threats, and the Storrs team achieved victory, 8-3. An eleven-run first inning for Springfield put Yale at too much of a disadvantage to recover, as they lost, 1 5-2. Superior pitching from the opposition limited Yale to four scattered hits, and the Elis went down to their sect)nd straight defeat. One of the better and mcist exciting games of the season was the Cornell game which went extra innings, with Yale the victor, 4-2. At the end of nine innings the two teams were tied, 2-2, and it was not until the fourteenth inning that two runs by Yale broke the tie. With one out Colville hit a single and went home on a hard-hit doLible b)- Boher. Bober scored from Tenth hilling, tie- 4-4. Irving pilcht YiLf i0o««etei It ' A% nl.iigne he.iti the pLiy at thitd. second on a single by Cheney to win the game. Carlsen went all the way in this pitcher ' s battle, and received excellent support from Gracey. Exceptional fielding by Cheney, Schumann, and Molumphy, in addition to the pitching of Irving paved the way toward a Yale victory over Wesleyan, 2-1. A running catch in center field by Lamontagne in the ninth inning thw arted Wesleyan ' s only threat to a Yale victory. Thirteen hits by the Bulldogs gave them a substantial 9-3 win over the Brown Bruins. Hits by Cheney, Colville, Lamontagne, and Molum- phy, and the pitching of Carlsen formed the foundation of the Yale attack. All of the starting nine registered hits, but the most important single drive was a long triple hit by Cheney in the fourth inning. Another of the most exciting games of the year was the game w ith Princeton, which resulted in a t-4 tie. Although Yale compiled ten hits, the alert, hard-playing Princeton club held the Bulldogs to but four runs. Scheinbaum, Bill Gillespie, and Irving shared the pitching tasks for Yale. Lamontagne, Clay, and Molumphy led the hitting attack of the Elis with two hits each. Hitting power was the deciding factor in Yale ' s 4-3 victory over Dartmouth. Yale had ten hits to the Indians ' five, with Cheney, Molum- phy, and Gracey each accounting for two hits. Lamontaigne ' s alert base running, including a stolen base, accounted for two of Yale ' s runs, and Carlsen was the winning pitcher. Harvard proved to be a jinx with the Yak- nine in 1957, as superior pitching by Don Re- petto of Harvard limited the Bulldogs to five 175 (.. OJitll, t.;l, SYV hits.

In the eighth inning Yale had thrtx- men on base with one tiut. but the Elis were unable to capitalize on the situation, and Williams endet) with a 4-2 victory. The hard hitting: sc uad from Holy Cn ss proved to be I k much for the Yale nine as they banned t ut eleven hits to Yale ' s six, all sin jles.

The Timers allowed only twc hits, one of which was a single by Carlsen which accounted fo r the two Yale runs in the ninth. Carlsen pitched a seven-hitter for the Bulldogs and demonstratc-d good c( ntrol throughout the game. The Elis ' second encounter with Harvard was a pitching battle between Rcpetto of Harvard and Carlsen of ' ale. Carlsen gave up five hits to Rcpctto ' s three, and Harvard won the game. 11. Hanard Hored all four runs in the first inning ttn two hits, hile Yale s single run was scored in the fourth inning by Limonlagne. who reached stxond base on a double and scored fmm there on a Harvard error. Brown hit a double and Carlsen hit a single to account for the other two Yale hits. Thrcx- Yale pitchers were unable to hold Prince-ton. and S ' ale ' s third encounter with the Tigers resulted in a ' 2 loss. Altiiough e,uh team compilc-d fourteen hits, Yale s hits were scattertxi. and the Blue could not muster a con- centratcxi attack Schumann led Yale s hitting power vsith thrcx- hits in four limc-s at bat, while Lamontagne, Cheney, ami Clay each had two hits. Schumann hit a long triple in the fifth inning, but was left on base. Tlie final game ( f the V) ' i season matched Yale and Harvard on the Yale Field. Again pitcher Carlsen of Yale battled Re|x-tto of Har- vard, and Re|X-tto emerged the winner, as he gave up only four hits to Carlscns six. Harvard scored seven runs and held Yale Ui three. Gracey ' s two hits in four trip, a double and a home run, rated him the outstanding player of the game. He scored one of the Hiis three runs, drove in antither. and playcxi a fine defensive gimc behind tlie plate. 176 Eight in Henley Regatta Finals OI ' the 1956 Olympic crew only five men reported to Coach Rathschmidt for the 1957 season. Captain Don Beer (4), Cooke (3), Wailes (7), Morey (stroke), and little Bill Bc-cklean ( cox ) , represented a most useful and strategically located nucleus, and though it lacked the experience and depth of the previous year, there was good material in the Yale squad. Al- ready two seniors, David Wilmerding at bow and Reed Rubin at six, were both working well in the varsity, and last year ' s Freshman captain Michael Hard looked set at two. On April 20, 1957 the crew season began auspiciously against Boston University over the Henley distance. Both the Yale varsity and J. V. crews won easily by five lengths. Two weeks later Penn and Columbia came to Derby for the Black- well Cup Regatta; the former is always a threat in the early races and had lost a heartbreaker to Princeton the week before by a canvas. Rowing conditions were excellent. Although the Penn varsity averaged a good ten pounds per man lighter than Yale, they were known to be fast. All three crews went off at 40, but Yale, on the railroad lane, dropped quickly to 31-.32, while Penn in the middle stayed at 33-34. Columbia dropped quickly behind. Penn and Yale raced even for the first mile, the latter stroking 30-31, a good stroke or two below Penn. With half a mile to go, Morey upped the Yale beat to 33 and then 34, and took a definite lead. Penn tried to match him, rowing as high as 40 at the finish, but Yale crossed the line ahead by a good three- quarters of a length, in 9:54.8 to Penn ' s 9:57.2. Lake Cayuga and the Carnegie Cup with Captain Coach ALmai er Donald A. Beer James Rathschmidt John W. Watling Cornell and Princeton on May 11th came next. The former had seven seniors returning from last year ' s sprint and three-mile champions, a crew which had lost only to Yale — once in the Car- negie Cup and a second time in the Olympic trials. Already Princeton had beaten Penn and Harvard after losing to Navy by a foot in the opening race. Syracuse had been invited to join the original rivals. Princeton and Cornell got off to better starts and began a struggle for the lead; Princeton settled at 32, Cornell at 30, and Yale, not very happily, at 30. At the mile flags Yale was a half length behind, as Cornell proceeded to move out, getting open water at the mile and a half mark. Belatedly, Yale started going up to 34, passing Princeton and closing on Cornell. But the latter had too much in hand, their stroke worked the rating up to a 38 to win over Yale by a length with Princeton another length and a half behind. Both the first two crews broke the course record for two miles, Cornell in 9:58.2 and Yale in 10:02.2. Off for the 2000 meter sprints at Princeton on May 18, Cornell was the favorite, Yale the challenger, and Penn, Harvard, Princeton, and Navy, all possible threats. The morning heats went according to form, the varsity having no trouble with Syracuse or Columbia. But Cornell had an even easier race with Wisconsin and The eight pull for the BLukwell Cup at Derby. )0fHiI- ■ Jett ' ' ,«. Rutgers. Pcnn and Navy were the otlier finalists. Cornell was next to the Judge ' s Stand with Yale in the next lane, and then Penn and Na y in that order. Cornell went off at a -43; Vale was a little lower. During the lirst loot) meters Yak- was able to work out a slight lead, even though at .32 Yale was at least a stroke or two under Cornell. Navy, in tliird plate, was a length back. Yale still led by a few feet as the crews raced through the last flags with a (quarter mile to go. The Cornell stroke kept goirg up, but still Yale seemed able to hold them. Tin- two crews hit the line, and no one knew who had won until the judges announced Cornell by three inches m 6: U.S. Yale was given an arbitrar) ' time of 6:11.9. As in last year ' s freshman iinal, when the judges took twenty mmules to decide that Navy had beaten Yale, this t ne will be argued for many years. W ' hatc-ver the outcome, Yale rowed a magniticeni race, quite redeeming tlieir per- formance of the wt-ek before. During the last week of exams the Yale s ]uad made their annual trip to Gales Terry, the S ' alc training camp on the Tliames River near New London. On the sca.son ' s records Yale was ct n- sidered an easy choice over Har ' ard who, al- though they had beaten Penn and Princeton, finished a poor seAc-nth in the sprints. Ytl there was always the danger that Yale, with its eyes already set on Henley, might be caught napping. Sltdimiaf in s Htattf pttnitt . . . li ' (.. .., K.4II ■, tiiJi {•urnf ' i dlimg ihf h ' U l jih With his usual effuicmy Howard Robbins got the varsities on to their stake boats under the railroad bridge exactly on time, although condi tions would have btxn much faster a cjuarter of an hour later. Harvard went off faster and may have led ft)r a few sirokc-s, but Yale, down at 30 and then at 2H-29 for the Knly of (he race, began inexorably to move out Harvard remained two sirokc-s higher to no avail. Yale had a half length lead at the first flags, open water at the mile and thrc-e lengths at tw i miles, the halfway mark. Harvard could no nothing right. Like all hastily assembled crews, they fell apart as tlity fell behind. Yale kept ghosting out ahead, sprint ing the last hundred yards at 31, to wm easily in 20:35.3 to Harvard ' s 21:01, or possibly eight lengths, the largest margin in this race for seven- texn yc-ars. Two days after the race at New London the varsity, two spares Jim Brown and Andy Bartholemew, John Walling and Gc-orge Pew. the Managers, and Coach Rothschmidi Kiarded a Pan American flight for L)ndon and Iknicy. ' ale was the first foreign crew (o arrive at HcnIcy-on-Thames, two weeks before the Henley Royal Regatta. Bexause the Tliames is vcr) ' nar- row, it is the custom for the coachc-s in England to follow their crews on bicycle along a fowpath instead of by launch. It is also acceptable for any other coaches to ride along and watch their opponents practicing. This and other customs were a little unnerving for Yale at the outset, but soon tiie Elis settled down to regular twice-a- day rows. As other crews began arriving the spectacle of the Regatta began to pick up. We learned that in the Grand Challenge Cup (the race for senior eights in which Yale was entered ) the Defending Champions, the French Army Crew, had dropped out as had a Swedish and a Dutch crew. This left Yale and Cornell, the Club Krasnoe Znamia Crew from Russia, and three English crews: the Thames Rowing Club, the London Rowing Club, and the Queens College Oxford Crew. The three English boats were gen- erally considered to be too slow and were entered in the Grand for reasons of prestige. The Rus- sians were unknown, but were feared by the English as a result of their sweep of the Regatta in 1954. Cornell and Queens drew byes in the Regatta draw, and it seemed that, if the twt) American crews were to meet, they would do so in the finals. On Thursday Yale raced London, and won easily by three and one-half lengths, rowing mostly at 27-28, and finishing at 24. The Rus- sians defeated Thames by four lengths rowing easily. Yale ' s next race on Friday was much the same. Rowing hard for the first half the Blue boat was leading Queens by three lengths at the half-way mark; the Elis won easily in three and one-half lengths, rowing the second half at 24. In perhaps the most exciting race of the day Cornell won by a length, lovxering the record by eight seconds. On Saturday the crowd was the heaviest of the Regatta, and the finals o( the Grand Chal- lenge Cup the big race of the day. Cornell started at 42 with Yale at 40, the former settling to 35 and Yale to 33. At the half-way mark the crews were dead even with Yale at 32 and Cornell a stroke higher. Gradually, inch by inch, Cornell took the lead. With a quarter to go, Yale, down by a canvas, took up the stroke. Cornell followed. The two crews raced to the line, but Yale could not make up the difference and Cornell v.on by about a third of a length. Many excuses have been made, among them that Yale was too light, the weather was the hottest in ten years, and so on. Suffice it to say that the two crews were perhaps the best eights in the world, one just a little faster than the other. B.u-i Rnu M n v. W.iilcs. Rubin, Holhronk.

After several dis- ap[X)intm campaigns, the l ' I i ht s eights, under tlie tutelage oi Coadi Luyal Durand, NKere able to make a txxl account of themselves in both the varsit)- and junior varsity divisions. To commemorate Coach Durand ' s bc-st, and final season, the squad established the Durand Cup for the winner of the annual Dartmouth-Yale race. Durand ' s position will be filled by capable l-rcshman Coach Norman Clein, Jr. The season ojx-ned with a close win at Kent on a short mile course; Dartmouth was rowed down next over the Housattmic Henley distance. In the Goldthwaitc Regatta the junior varsity- lost the sc-cond race on the Charles, while the arsity finished third, a Icn h behind record- breaking Prince-ton and Har ard. On tlie following Saturday the ninc rew East- ern Championships at Annapolis saw one of Yale s best showings in rc-cent years. Princeton. Harvard, and Yale, sprinting to a photo finish, crossed the line in that order, and the junior varsity boat bcjunccd back to finish fifth. Track Potential Unrealized IT has often been said of Yale teams in tlic past few years that they need a httle time to get started. As this was true of Yale football last fall, so it was true of Yale track last winter. The team started out with balance and depth and was potentially one of Gieg ' s best, but its power was only really developed after the out- door season began. Penn and Brown provided little more than token opposition as Yale ' s varsity track team bolted to an 8O-36I 2-20I 2 win in the season ' s opener for all three teams. The meet was hardly a test for the Elis, as they won or tied ten out of the thirteen first places. Yale showed sur- prising strength in the 60-yard dash, taking ail tliree places, as Bill Andrews won the event. The tirst t o spots in the 60-yard high hurdles went to K. C. Moore and Jim Stocking. Yale ' s margin of victory was substantial in botli of these events. Jack Bogan and Bob Skerritt gave the Elis another pair of iirst places in the mile and 600-yard runs. Bogan held a slight lead until the final lap, when he kicked out to win in the CilplcVIl Coach Everett N. Hedeen Robert Geigengack Bernhard a. Witter ]„h,i HMp. ihiifii tinv.ird .1 close fiiiiih.

First pbcc in the 1000-yard run went to Yale, as JelT Loucks came in 20 yards ahead of his closest competitor. Loucks teamed up with Skerritt, Captain Ev Hedeen, and John Slowik for the two-mile relay in which leadoff man Skerritt took a 2 -yard lead. Hedeen increasc-d it to 55 yards, Loucks took it to 120 yards, and Slowik hnally won by 160 yards over Brown. With such a victor)- under their belts, Yale ' s defeat at Harvard ' s hands the following week- end was doubly stin ing, as with the defeat Yale lost the Bi Tlirec Track Crown. The Cantabs won the mtxt, oJ , Yale came in s«« nd with y 4, and Princeton was third with 61, points. From the ver)- bc7 innin  f the meet it was apparent that the mcx-t was primarily a lontc-sl betwcxn Yale and Harvard, as Princeton ' s stren ' th was ne li :ble. Har ard s depth enabled the Cantabs to take considerable advantage of Princeton s weakness, as ihcy demonstrated in the ' pound wc ht throw. Chief y beiause ot the absence of the premi-ct favor:lc. Dick Knorr of Princeton, Harvard took the first two places in the event. Rod Zwimer, an exptitcd winner in the mile and two-mile run was sidelined with an injur)-, and Har ard aihieved a ten |-K)mt ed e in the two mile. These two Ti er ' fadet)uts in addition to four Crimstm one-two plaiin s fin- ished Yale ' s viitor)- ihames. and the Flis lost the meet on sevondar)- placc-s. Jim Stixkin and Dick l- ' iske failed to place in the finals of (he 60yard hi h hurdles, and the piiture was dim for the Elis, winners in seven events. Yale ' s Slowik and Bo an last li ht on the otherwise disappointing running events, for Slowik outran Harvard ' s Captain Dick VX ' harton by 25 yards to win the loooyard run in 2:1 .6, while Bo an kicked to a 10-yard win in the mile in 1:21.6. In the process of victor) , the Crimson also conducted an assault on the record bcK k; Jim Cairns led from (he start in the 600-yard run and set a new Harvard record of 1:12.0. JckI Cohen and JckI Landau obliterated the 60-yard lii jh hurdles mark, as both ran one-tenth of a second under the rctord in their elimination heats, and Oihen cut it down another no(cl). winning the final in 0:07. 1.

Cornell gained ei h( first places to Yale ' s five, but the Elis had more sec- iinds and thirds. Yale ' s str  n two-mile relay team of Tim Ho en. Hedc-en. Loucks. and Slo- w.ck encountered no difficulty as it won by 50 ,ards. The Bi Red had two double winners, as Ivy Roberson won the 60-yard dash and the broad jump, while David Eckel won the mile and bested Yale ' s Alan Friedman in a thrilling two- mile race. The two runners took turns leading until Eckel accelerated with a quarter-mile to go and won the event by five yards. Cornell ' s Dick Allman heaved the 16 pound ball 52 ' 41 2 to shatter Cornell ' s indoor and outdoor standards in that event. Two weeks lated a rejuvenated Yale squad re- established itself as a force, as it defeated Dart- mouth 661 2 42l 2 at Hanover. Winning seven first places, the Yale team was at last beginning to put some of its potential into results. First places were awarded in the shot put, broad jump, iiigh jump, pole vault, 45-yard high hurdles, and the two-mile run, and a team win was achieved in the two-mile relay. For Yale, the fieldmen showed the way, as Pete Bensinger turned in the best performance for the season in the broad jump with a leap of I ' Yj , ' lis first placing in the 23 ' category; Jim Beckman won the pole vault at 13 ' 4 and narrowly missed clearing 13 ' 8 . Of the field events, only in the 35-pound weight did the Elis taste defeat. Yale ' s depth was an important factor in the victory over the Hanover team, as Dartmouth competed with a shorthanded squad and had to double-up its men. The Heptagonals held in Cornell saw Harvard successfully defend its Heptagonal Track Cham- pionship. Although Yale scored three firsts to one for Harvard, the Cantabs proved to have too much depth and scored 45 points to tliird place Yale ' s 36-3. Cornell edged out Yale for second place v ith 37 1 6 and Army, Penn, Navy, Princeton, Dartmouth, Brown, and Columbia followed Yale in that order. The closest of the three firsts turned in by Yale was the two-mile relay, as the Eli team of Hogen, Captain Hedeen, Loucks, and Slowik turned in a time of 7:58.2 and finished only ten yards ahead of Cornell. Slowik won a first for the Elis in the 1000-yard run, as the ' ale sophomore set a slow early pace with Harvard men Jim Cairms and French An- derson on his heels, but after the first quarter Slowik opened up a wide lead and coasted to an eight yard win. Another sophomore, K. C. Mc)ore, was the final Eli winner with a time of 0:07. 5 in the 60-yard high hurdles event, as he edged out Joel Landau of Harvard. Prospects for the 1958 season seemed good, .IS only three members of the 1957 squad gradu- ated and many of the I960 squad appeared to be talented and ready to fill the vacant spots. Ed Holahan, w ho has been running the quarter-mile and has been a member of the relay team, was chosen captain for 19 58. 183 Stick men Tliird in I v Lacrosse Bj(i Rou — Folo (Trainer).

A week later first-ranked Joiins Hopkins proved Itself in a 12-3 decision. Sliovcin up |iarticularly veil during the trip were Charlie Cushman, a midfielder, and Jim Kin , an attackman. Hx- ellent defensive work was a ain turned in by f ptain Penderpast and goalie NefT. In its first ame after returning to New Haven, 1 ame in which m( st of the team broke into the scoring column, Yale posted an easy 20-1 win over a weak University of Pennsylvania team. In its next game, however, Yale ran into a well-conditioned and speedy Army team, losing the encounter. 7-4. Tliis loss to Wcrst Point was partially avenged several days later when Yale soundly defeated Ned Harkness ' s strong R.P.I. outfit, 10-6. In this game Charlie Cushman led the Yale offense with four goals, and King and John Tyson were close behind him with two each. In its other three non-Ivy League games of the season Yale defeated Williams, 6-5, and lost decisively to Rutgers and Syracuse, l4-3 and 10-6, respectively. Both of these teams, however, boasted several outstanding players, among whom ■nas Jim Brown, the football great, a standout on the latter team. In its otiier Ivy League encounters, the Blue team made a somewhat better showing, as it al- ready had done against Penn. Handily they de- feated Cornell, 12-5, behind two goal efforts by King, Tyson, Tom Brown, Bob Belletreau, and Charlie Cushman. Against an improved Dart- mouth team Yale lost an even scoring contest, 11-10. In this game Cushman and Brown ex- celled at midfield, as they combined for nine Yale goals. However, with Captain Pender- gast and several other players injured, Yale lacked tiie strength necessary to salvage a victory. A week later Yale experienced a similar defeat, 5-4, at the liands of a strt)ng Princeton team. Yale succeeded in organizing itself particularly well against its New Jersey opponents; in the tightly contested game Yale was impressive botJi offensively and defensively. Only a last minute goal provided Princeton witli its victory. Thus, the Tigers found revenge for the Yale victory in 4 ' L j.irlie Cushman passes up and over. 1956 which had stopped a string of 22 consecu- tive Orange and Black lacrosse victories over the Elis. The 1957 Yale lacrosse team concluded the season with a spirited victory over Harvard, 11-5, at Cambridge. In this contest the Yale scoring was evenly divided between the midfield and at- tack units. The end of the 1957 season saw Yale in third place in the Ivy League lacrosse standings, be- hind first-place Princeton, and Dartmouth. Llnan- imously elected by tlie Ivy League lacrosse coaches to the Ivy League ' s first team was Captain Pendergast; also named to the first team were King, Bro n, and Ciiarlie Cushman. At the post- season banquet. Bob Cushman, an impressive midfielder and attackman, was elected to the captaincy of the 195S Yale lacrosse team. RPl itichtii.in tliiihf PiitiJerg.is .aid Gy itiull.

THE 1957 Yale virsity tennis team was Inn- dered by the loss of three of its top players for much of the playing season. Sam Sihoon- maker and Tom Freiberg, the top two players on the scjuad, were disabled, as was sophomore Sandy Werner. Captam Ed Meyer played number one in their absence, followed by Newell Augur, Jon Clark, Ed Bennett, Mait Jones, and Connie Fisher, all of whom played singles. Ted Prince, Pder Cox, and John Oettinger also rc-ceived Idters. The team, under Coach Jack Skillman, o|xned )ts season in March with two weeks of practice matchc-s in Miami, Florida. Returning to New Haven, the team went through the first part of •he schedule undefeated in league play, losing inly to Presbyterian Gjllcge, which had earlier jpset the Universit) ' of Miami. Unfortunately, Yale lost its last two league matches, and con- sequently, its chances for the title. Princeton, the ! y champion, proved tcx) strong, and the fol- lov ing wc-ck Yale was edged for second jHi - by Harvard. 186 Golfers Take Ivy League Crown B.ni: R,-«— Wilson (Cojch), Suism.in.

CAPTAINED by Pete Nisselson, the 1957 Yale golf team concluded a successful sea- son with a 6-1 record. The Elis earned a first place slot in the Ivy League standing and placed third in the Eastern Intercollegiate Golf Tourna- ment behind Navy and Penn State. Thus, Yale ' s four-year domination of the E.I.G.A. cham- pionship came to an end as Yale mustered 620 points, while the Midshipmen took the cliam- pionship with 608 and Penn State was second with 613 points. Lettermen Harold Cogger, Anthony Delude, Franz Dolp, Tony McCuUough, Pete Nisselson, John Suisman, and Bob Wilford sparked Yale to six consecutive victories. They fell to defeat only in the final match against Harvard. Coach Wilson ' s golfers could count among their victims Amherst, Wesleyan, Holy Cross, Williams, Connecticut, and Princeton. The taste of victory, 5-2, over the Tigers remain the sweet- est of the ' 57 season, as Princeton had bested Yale, -4-3, at the Nev ' Jersey course the preceding year. Coach A[and[ er Pi-TKR M.

This year s schedule proved a challenging one for a team plagued early in the season by a lack of depth. All competition was shoulder- toshoulder and a ain included matches with Army and Navy, two of the best teams in the East. Yale fired six dual and two three-way matchc-s and comjxrted in thrcx- tournaments, their own I y Lc-apue Championship in New Haven, tile Coast Guard Academy Invitational Tourna- ment, and the National Intercollegiate Tourna- ment. In the wonlost column Yale won four dual meets, tlic hy Championships, and defeated Drexel in a three-way meet with Army. Tlie team was Icil by (he consistent sluKtim of Mike Boylen.

By far the most significant fador in the team ' s development this year was the appoint ment of M Sgt. Lawrence Healy. I ' SMC. as coach. With a coach and permanent ee uipmcnt the rifle team can look forward to a tighter and more elTextive team organization which should improve the teams comjxtitive scorc-s an.! ilv ranking in collegiate shooting. CHEERLEADERS THE fall of 1957 found the Cheerleaders faced with the usual appalling prospect of having to dodge the traditional beer can tosses of tiie spirited Yale stands. As the season progressed, however, they found that the stands held a co- operative group of Eli backers. Acting as a link between the often too silent student body and the football team, the men in white twisted and flipped (with an occasional flop) their way to recognition. Tlie group started its activities with a rally on the Old Campus the night before the UConn game, and the student body showed that it would back an unproven team. This support was main- tained throughout most of the season. Another rally was held before the Harvard game and evidently had a positive effect on the team. The Cheerleaders this year were seniors Norm Wait, Captain of the squad, Hank Harris, and Bob Beiring; juniors Thatcher Adams, Bob Pella- ton and Jim Goodman; and sophomore Bob McKinlay. They were helped by the spark and pep of Handsome Dan IX. All was not work for the Cheerleaders. Enjoy- ment was found in playing host to visiting teams, more specifically the female squad from UConn, as well as in the unpredictable antics of Hand- some Dan and the clowning of Harris and Goodman. In the past the Cheerleaders were the captains and managers of the various out-of-season major sports and functioned exclusively at football games. However, due to the inherent lack of organization and specialized ability in this system, it was decided to make the Cheerleaders an inde- pendent group. Now the squad has increased its scope to include organized cheerleading at basket- ball games. The response to this move has been decidedly favorable. Future plans for the Cheer- leaders center around a greater coordination be- tween the leading of cheers and tumbling and gymnastics. It is hoped that this will result in a greater response in the stands to the etiforts of the Cheerleaders. 189 r ' AKMIV IIMmU ' i ' H(K.| (.IORCjF.

Dean Richard C. Orroll wrulc. Yale lan be proud of iis musiial tradition. Tliis is an area where undergraduate llc still has no peers. ' Nothing that has hap- pened sinie makes that statement any the less true. A walk through the Co-op or Cutler ' s cx- | st one ti nearly a dozen lon -playing records issued by the varu)us Yale musual rouf s. Vtnal and insirumi-ntal organizations of all kinds draw upon undergraduate talent, and for those who cannot lind a place in any of the existing groups, there is always the alternative of starting another. S«ime of these last no more than a season; others die after the originators graduate, while the hardy few go on and on. soon to become part of the Yale tradition. Even to people who only know Yale as a four- letter substitute for Eli in a crossword puzzle, the tune of the Wh lfenpoof Song is familiar. For many Europeans, concerts by the Yale Glc-e Club on past tours provided a direct contact with American music. Tlic names of Quincy Porter and Marshall Bartholomew arc known and es- teemed in musical circles throughout the world, ' ' ale s musical tradition is indeed ancient and «ninenily res|xxtable. As generation after gen- eration tif freshmen develop into sentimi-nlal Old Blues, the tradition continues, and today music of c cry sort is an integral part of the life )f-4he University. It may be the Boston Symphony fill- ing X ' (M lsey Hall with grandeur or pk-dges bleating that St. Elmos makes the world go round. From folk singers in the back rcK m of a ItKal apizza to Lx-stcr Lanin thrilling boys from Iowa and their debutante datc- from Smith with the society bounce, it is all part of the music at Yale. Almost any musical taste can be satisfied somewhere in the t ' niversity ct)mmunity either for listc-ncrs or performers. The greatest outbursts of music are on the party week ends. Tlicn from hastily dccoratcti college rcxims and fraternity row issue the dance- able strains of Pat Dorn, the calypso beat of the Talbot Brothers, the harmonious outpourings of the Whiffs or the Bachelors. Dixieland and milk punch mix almost as well on Sundays as fox trots and Scotch did the night before. With the proms come big name bands. Such groups as those of Ralph Marterie, Count Basic, or Lxs Elgart pro vide music that is at least expensive if not always 194 the s trots easy to dance to. No one admits going to the Prom, but it ' s nice to know that a band picked as the country ' s best by Billboarcl is present. The lack of informal student singing, music purely for fun, has been deplored in recent years. The radio and hi-fi set have been blamed for the destruction of spontaneous and enthusiastic, if untalented, song fests. Henry Seidel Canby, in Alma Aldtey. his book about turn of the century Yale, describes the songful hours over beer steins and remarks that students navigating homeward across the green filled the air with . . . melody. Maybe there is less of that now. The electronic revolution has made good music easier to find, and perhaps there are more ways to fill spare time than there were in the days he de- scribes. The old fence is no longer available to support singing crowds, but the eagerness of stu- dents to form singing groups and the audience demand for these groups show that interest in such music is not dead. The musical clusters at the Beta bar are still noisy. The local pianos may be out of tune, but they are not completely silent. Canby goes on to say, Those who had a voice sang not for sweet music ' s sake but to make the Glee Club. The glamor and prestige of belong- ing to one of the best organizations in the world still attracts anywhere from six to ten applicants for every vacancy. Even with two upperclass and two freshman clubs to fill there are disappointed singers. Rehearsal for any of these clubs is a time- consuming thing, but the reward seems to match the work. Trips to fill engagements around the East are pleasant breaks in college routine. One member of this year ' s club said he joined pri- marily for the parties on this trip. Excitement on the tour is not new. A book of stories set at Yale and published in 1909 contains one concerning a fictional tour when the club was snowbound in Altoona, a fate that has been avoided lately. This summer the Club is again visiting Europe, sing ing in almost every Western country, slipping through a few gaps in the Iron Curtam, and a[v pearing at the World ' s Fair in Brussels. Previous enterprises of this sort have met with signal suc- cess and this year ' s highly regarded Club is en- thusiastically preparing to equal them. The Glee Club concert is a feature of every big week end at Yale. Joining in the fall with its Big Three rivals or singing alone on Prom week ends, the club draws large and responsive audiences. One of the most enjoyable musical evenings at Yale for lovers of this kind of sound be piond 1)1 It is the annual Glee Club Jamboree when all four glee clubs plus several singing groups come to- gether in Woolsey Hall for a long evening of entertainment, culminating with the singing of the traditional Yale songs by performers and audience alike. A highlight of this performance is the contest between two quartets chosen from ■■Jh, Fl.ii.i,l Tnin-hr Mm ir tMoreit for mosfta iduti a larger roup ai appliunts.

In the spring, they fol- low the migration to Florida and the Caribbean to sing for the same people they have amused all winter. While the Whiffs are firmly established at Mory ' s on Monday nights, the Hofbrau has attracted several of the groups to sing there dur- ing the week. A less widely known singing or- ganization meets on Sunday nights at Hendrie Hall. This is the Deutscher Akademiechor, com- posed of those who want to sing German folk or student songs. While seldom heard, j roups like this more closely approximate the old idea of singing for fun and cater to Yale ' s cath- olicity of musical taste. The singing group en- thusiasm has spread to most colleges, male and female, and representa- tives of some of these other schools frequently are heard at New Ha- ven. Concerts at Car- negie Hall have brought representatives of the different colleges to- gether and WYBC ' s College Sound pro- gram has spread the music of the different ensembles to the Yale Community. Hearing great music played is as much a part of the liberal education, Yale ' s Holy Grail, as attending lectures, reading, or talking over ideas. A glance at the University bulletin for any week will show flute recitals, chamber music concerts, a baritone, or a symphony orchestra. Artists of varying degrees of talent parade through Wool- sey Hall during the year. In the Hall ' s concert series, the Boston Symphony, Isaac Stern, and Artur Rubinstein made appearances this year. The New Haven Symphony brought, among oth- ers. Dame Myra Hess and Robert Casadesus to the stage. In Sprague Hall no week goes by without at least one recital. Besides a series of chamber music concerts by the most prominent quartets there is a steady stream of virtuosi or budding virtuosi to play clarinets, bassoons, and harpsi- chords. Faculty members and students of the School of Music perform in their specialties and then head to George and Harry ' s to unwind and complain about their accompaniment. Branford College has for some years held a series of concerts. This, regarded by the News reviewer as a good thing, was emulated by Silliman once this year. In the colleges ' efforts to provide for all sides of their residents ' lives such programs are a forward step and should spread more widely. The relaxed atmosphere for both players and audience often encourages more interesting programs and performances than the formal Sprague Hall recitals. Other colleges luve musicjl e enin on a stimewlut less serious note. On special occasiofis in SaybrtH k. Duke Henning will burst into song for has iliargc-s, and undergraduate tomN. s have hel|xd the Nosses entertain in S lliman. Tim«)thy Dwight was visited this year by the Chorus from Munster I ' niversit -. This spirited German group deligiited a large audience in the college and later went on to Fence Club to repeat their mag- n ' hcent show. This spr ng Pierson resivcd its custom of presenting a Gilbert and Sullivan op- eretta, singing and acting Trial b) Jury. Jonathan Edwards, home of the JEsters. its own singing group, has an annual jamb iree in the fall with singing groups from Yale and other nearby ailleges participating. A more recent development on tlie ' alt scene .IS in other colleges has been the rapidly swelling number of small undergraduate bands. Their music varies from dance tunes through all grada- tions of jazz. Among them are the Bullpups, ii rmc-d three years ago by a group of Freshmen. Typical of the others, it prospered uickly, pread its reputati«)n. and is now in large demand it lollege partic-s throughout the East. Its style IS mainly Dixieland, but another ecjually |X)pular roup. formed at about the same time s|xcializes in mi re modern arrangements. This is the Sliire- l ogg aggregation, named for its twn originators, : th in the class oi )Y). An older jazz group rigmatmg from Yale is Eli s Chosen Six, again with Dixieland leanings. Those Who and Chris Porterficid s larger band provide music tailored 1 little more obviously for modern tastes. Any ic-stive lollege wc-ek end in this part of the ountry w ill bring out one or more of these croups, while their confreres sound «)fT in New ' Max en arenas like Sanfoni barn, some of the m• kler New York bistros, and on TV. Like the singing groups tlic-y tour the South and Euro|x- during vaiatmns, and st}me have lut rc-cords. The ffKiiball band is |xrhaps the first musical organization that the frc-shman meets u|xjn his irrival at Yale. Part of the band played this year it a | ep rally on the Old Campus prior to the I iCionn game, and this is one extracurricular ,;roup that is immi-diately open to freshmen. The inlire ensc-mblc of about 11 men masters its lialftime assignments to a degree just short tnough of |xrfection to be shcjc and always inarchc-N dc-spite bad weather or jeering Cub -couts. Even the non-members who. finding Uiemselvcs ticktiless for the Princdon game, borrow jackets and instrumc-nts to march in with the band, manage to slay in place. After f(M)lball season the band splinters. Small groups gn i i the Arc-na and the Gym to urge on w inter s| rls teams. In these indcxjr cAcnts, (he band ' s basic tunelessness is more apparent, but the vigor with which the players attack the acoustics is im- prc ssivc. A larger group fcjrms the concert band which plays Christmas carols on the cross cam- pus, presents a winter concert in Wcwiscy Hall, and in the spring returns to the cross campus for evenmg performancc-s. This year they were aided by the W ' hifTenpoofs and the Glee Club, alumnus Lanny Ross, the Shire-Fogg Quintet, and two talented college masters, Luther Noss and Duke Henning, in presenting an evening of Cole Porter ' s music. Tiie band ' s greatest achieve- ment of this year, however, lay in changing the key of Bulldog to one more closely approximat- ing the capacities of the average Yale student. The Yale Banjo Club, a group of alumni who played together or in similar organizations in their undergraduate days, has burst upon the Yale scene in the last few years as a revitalized and highly popular group. Playing during Prom intermissions, in Woolsey Hall concerts, and oc- casionally at fraternity parties, the Club has made the music of the twenties come alive for a new generation. Yale ' s folk musicians have for several years joined together with others in the area in a loose organization called the Hoot. Meeting on Satur- day nights, they sing and play the traditional ballads and work songs. Since being ejected from Hendrie Hall as too noisy, they have had no permanent home, alternating between the back rooms of New Haven pizzerias. It is hoped that a newly reopened restaurant on York Street will once more bring them to the Yale Campus. Last spring an attempt to form a more cohesive system w, ' as started when a Yale law student set up the Indian Neck Foundation. This group sponsored a week end long festival outside New Haven which attracted participants and afficionados from all over the East. Continuing the successful work this fall, the Foundation presented the young folk singer Odetta, who overwhelmed a large Sprague Hall audience with a performance at once powerful and touching. This kind of music is gaining a wider acceptance at the University. A performance by members of the Hoot in Silli- man College on Junior Prom week end was most enthusiastically received and individual mu- sicians are popular at private parties. Three years ago Yale celebrated the centennial of instruction in music here. There has recently been a marked rise in interest m music history and theory. This year a new optional course was added to the Directed Studies program in the history of music. When over 200 students regis- tered for History of Music 10, the introductory course, the listening facilities were swamped and assignments had to be aired over WYBC-A. For those interested in the subject, visiting lecturers throughout the year explored such facets as Elements of Continuity in Twentieth Century American Opera and The Votive Antiphon in English Church Music. In the fall the WYBC- sponsored lecture series Perspective featured com- poser Roger Sessions in a forum on modern music.

Out of the Korcs submitted, an adapta- tion of Cyrano Je Bergerac with music by the versatile Dave Shire of the Shire-Fogg group was chosen for production. This show followed in the tradit ion of such earlier Dramat hits as Sinter ai Yale. The Great Galib). and the pre- war Walerhur) Tales. For Yale ' s lovers of show tunes. New Ha en provides the Shubcrt Theater, self-staled birth- place of the nation ' s hits. Here the Rodgers and Hammerstein, Lerner and Loewe scores art tried out on their way to New York. This year s shows with music were unusually weak with the ratiier unfortunate Copper and Brass and Say. Darlhiv being the only offerings. However, the Drama School made a bid to satisfy tiiis au diencc by producing the first musical sJiow in its history. The play, an original show entitled Love in Bnjjalo. had a freshness and gaiety that was reflected in a mature and listenable score. From Harkness Tower issues forth at regular intervals throughout the day a cacophony that only a Harkness Bell Ringer would dare call music. Immortalized on records of the 1812 Orertiire and in the Dramat ' s Stover at Yale — Those damned Yale chimes — the Harkness bells are more a part of the Yale man ' s existence than any other musical or quasi-musical sound. Day after day thousands of students wake, study, and go to class to this din. While undergraduate extracurricular activities arc looked upon with less and less favor by faculty and administration, the musical groups have been remarkably free from attack. Their contribution to Yale life is generally seen as a healthy and natural one, to be not only tolerated but also encouraged. The gentlemen songsters arc still at Yale — indeed their tribe is increasing. They have been joined by trombone players, composers, bell ringers, and cx ' ery other type of musician. The musical tradition becomes ever more strong. For every departing senior who tor the last time waves his handkerchief over his head at the end of Bright College Years, there is a freshman who wants to play in the band or join the Glee Club or just sing in his room and at football games. ■■],n, r „ ' tiiu h of perject ' iiiii . . r ' , -Ar :: tWA Muin aasavnEiSiL I05S ) ' MJ: II W ' lzR ACTIVITIES PHP m % I 77 Yale Banner Publications EDITORIAL BOARD Si-NKiR Board James M.

Yet to us it was altogether new, and sn an education. . . . That the 195S regime was totalitarian no om. ever doubted. Reacting against the fabled Jerfcr sonian anarcliy of the past, the Chairman ijuukU hardentxl into a diKtrinaine Marxist. The eto nomic foundations of society bcxame paramount, and an ethcient bureaucracy bcxame the admin istrjtive ideal. Mc-etinp rew shorter and shorter Storage labinds were padlocked. Skiing Vnlini- ileJ. uncfuestionably the most romantic relic of our heroic past, was snowed under. Four faithful typcA filers, servants for 20 years, were cast unmercifully into the gutter. Fven the sacrosanii dust was attacked. But all was for nought. The opptisition held firm, and the dust gradually set tied back into place. May found the Chairman bald; Ins succcis«)r virtuously resolved to hire .i sexrctary. The Editor-inChief performed the annual miracle and produced a yearbtnik. Shielded from domestic | ilitics by a inammoth tiling; cabinet, the editor lived in a chaos all his own. Never interrupted by less than 20 |xi ple |xr hour, blinded by the only bright lamp in the oHue, quietly competent in incessant crises, lie patiently pasted his b«K)k together. Finally, after monliis of frantic fumbling and piionin , finders coated with lue, he emerged from behind a mount! of shiny photographs and declared that it was finished. And somehow ( no one ever really un- derslcxKJ this) it was. There are rumors that after this historic d eclaration the Editor was seen tip- pling; in a Icxal pub, but no authentic cv ' idencc for this has yet bcxn uncovered. Tlierc was another of us who bc-came rather mysterious, the Photography Chairman; this au- gust individual was never seen. No one of us actually doubted his existence; some few actually remembered his face. His name was prominent on the letterhead; frcx uent invoicc-s from liKal merchants were painful proof of his activity; and each morning found frc-sh evidence of this lit- tering the Editor s desk. But again, the Photog- raphy Chairman was never seen. One rather spec- ulative investigatcjr advanced the explanation that this man ' s middle initial was not really L., but M.; that M. stcxxJ for Mephislopheles; and that said Mephislopheles lurked in a dark and hidden cave beneath Farnum Hall, coming forth t nly late at night to deliver proof sheets. 206 i; this J The Publications Director was rather invisible too; this man appeared only in flashes. Frus- trated by the Chairman ' s reactionary regulations, the Publications Director one day went quietly mad and began mumbling telephone numbers. We learned later that he had become temporarily obsessed with the idea of publishing no less ambitious a project than a ' phone book. Upon his recovery our director determined to produce a Heeling Supplement, which he did. According to Ye OCD, said Heeling Supplement did not sup- plement heeling. Furious debate ensued; only artful diplomacy averted a total war. Among these other odd souls was one whose singularity went unquestioned. In 1958 Yale Banner Publications boasted the one and only recorded example of Madison Avenue Moun- taineer. Despite constant examination by eminent psychologists, it was impossible ever to find any records of this rare individual ' s past activities. One theorist saw him as bad man turned ad ma n. Another claimed that, reversing tradition, he had come down from the mountains, prospecting for gold; how much he ever found was a moot question. It was mentioned earlier that tiie Chairman eventually became bald. His doctor informed him that the reason for this was circulation; the Chairman could i)nly agree. The Circulation Manager, contrary to all totalitarian principles, persisted in being happy; the Chairman hated happiness. The Circulation Manager actually liked people; the Chairman didn ' t. And so it went. Unquestionably the outstanding achieve- ment of this Circulation Manager ' s career was his Crusade Against Innocence, known also as The Great Seduction, in which the weaning of 1000 freshmen was accomplished in only seven sinful days. Then there was the Associate Editor — a quiet type, pleasant and dependable, respected by all. Yet beneath this man ' s placid visage lurked vio- lent appetites; the Associate Editor was a lobster cannibal. It was at Mory ' s that we first noticed the symptoms. ' Whenever a waiter approached he twitched; confronted with a menu, he began to drool; asked what he wanted, the unvarying reply was LOBSTER; by year ' s end he had consumed no fewer than 35 (at $4 per). ' When this edition went to press the report of the associate psycho- analyst was not yet available. The Secretary wrote the new Constitution. He also planned our parties ( three parts poor do- mestic champagne, one part Burgundy, one part Editor-in-Chief WilLird Fessendtn From photos, jtim- tiling, and plouning, the annual miracle.

But then, on the day of the big ball game, the other team did show up — it was Billy Graham and GihJ s Team — and tiic Charlie Browns from ' ork Street rose to the challenge like the journalists they really were. Il wasn ' t the first time the Old Lady had pro- duced journalism from amorphous sophomoric spaw-n.

For it was hard to deny the competence of the men who had jusl rciirtil, and the new atmo sphere of Seut prestige which lould so easily bt destroyed. That our efforts as Junior Fditors were a large factor in the success of the preceding board was ec ually hard to deny. howc- ' er. If Trillin made it his duty to define a tradi tion, our Qiairman, Scott Sullivan, enjoyed him self tr)ing to define our generation, some six months bc-fore the Tigertown Ten immorlalizcd their anonymit)- with the same song, we miglii add. Ranging from What do you think this is, the University of Arkansas, ' ' to . . . we have substituted for rebellion a restrained crccil of in- dividualism; we are realistic, and despite the cries of those who are terrified by Academic In- difference, scholarly, ' Sullivan was rarely silent, often perceptive.

II, III. and infinitum, which scxm became the butt of heeler humor. Perhaps it was a sign of the times, but the sad truth is that not once did any sort of glorious. emotionally uplifting issue raise its head for the 1958 board to guillotine. The fourteen-meal con- tract, the fraternity dilemma, the allocations sys- tem, etc., were all dead horses by the time we wore the spurs. Nor did Sullivan have the bravado of a Buckley to find a do-it-yourself monster to spring upon the innocent public. Even the peril of women at Yale had flickered for the moment. Instead it was .i year of conscientious journalism, and rational service to an irrational community. Nevertheless, c had our moments. Billy Graham stormed into town and enthusiastically began to slash at the ideals of this hotbed of atheism. And although his appeal was embarrass- ingly over-dramatic and under-intellectual, the blood he drew soon splashed over the editorial page. The founder of the John Dewey Society wrote that It is disturbing to witness more than a hundred supposedly intelligent students stand ing up to ' grow in Jesus ' ' ; a sophomore replied that his personal experience had shown the aver age young atheist to be 5 ' 6 tall, with bulging eyes, squeaky voice, and scrawny body ; and a third-year divinity student called Graham a dan gerous theological aberration. Eventually our Chairman succinctly summed up the mission; Still, despite the irrelevance of his message to the special problem of the Yale undergraduate, the ultimate effect of his appearance here was incontrovertibly tonic. Probably the most significant editorial service we provided was our investigation of the enig- matic publish or perish phenomenon. It was upsetting to see that the humanist conception of that monument of inspiration, the people ' s teaclicr, had become a thing of the past. Class- room dynamics had to bow before the nory tower o( scholasticism, and Joe College was the victim. Citing the unfortunate demise of some of the popular spellbinders in the Political Science De- partment, we called for intelligent compromise. If nothing more, the irony of the situation be- came a matter of public discussion. A refreshing breath of whimsy swaggered through in the person of the irrespressible La- mont DuPont. With the slogan Vote for Lamont DuPont: he owns us all anyway, a freshman by the name of Rc bert Hathaway won the hearts of his Harvard contemporaries — all in all, a splendid hoax. Less appealing was the class of hapless freshman Arthur Rutledge, whose po- litical pretensions were dismissed with a snappy editorial entitled Rutlcdgc for Do catclier. A hoax of a different color was this fall ' s She is Coming contest, a ' a uche publicity play which brought up the quc-stion of the Mann Act. Scott slapped back with This is not a college stunt. It is a cold-blooded busine-ss enterprise, feeding on one of Yale ' s unliappiest institutions: the Blind Date. It was not long before She is (A)ming went. Elsewhere on the editorial page. Vicc-Qiair- man Don Robinson provided a thorough inter pretation if national affairs. He managed to breathe a new. moderately liberal, inffuc-nie through page two with suih editorials as Ike. Stay Home and The l:isenlu cr D K.trine: Something is Rotten. But it was sadly ironic to learn that one of his hne editorials on the valul- ily of the union shop was distributed nationally only to newspajx-rs of tonserxatixc bent. Meanwhile it was the duty of Managing Editor Lirr) Bcn .ky and Assistant MP Jaik Fritzinger to sex- that the Sent came «HJt ever)- day with a front page.

In the world of sport. Woody Howe and Ben Harris rose to new heights of glor) ' with their own little supplement on last year ' s NCAA sw mi ming and basketball teams. There was drama tcx). as Woody and iiis sprained typewriter linger were immortalized for all time by none other than the unpredictable Mr. Loftus. But most unforgettable was the story ol this years Harvard FiK tball Extra. Designed to be the coup Jt tf ' .iCf to the already successful capture of the Crinnoti ' s New Haven Edition, it fizzled and faltered like a great Vanguard rinket. Out at the Bowl. Howe and Harris scribbled madly in a shower of rain and bcxr; but back at ' nrk Street, daunted by the whimpering of a single inmnent ari(ypist, old pro Bensky was backsliding into his child- luxxl role as the kid from Bnniklyn. With the savager) ' of a Mighty Joe Young, he tore the issue to shrc-ds. Hours later it was resurrected and managed to re.uh the fralernitie-s by IZ: Sunday morning, but by then the bitter bKH)d had btxii shtxl. In the realms of htxlerdom.

Adding a graceful diversity to the editorial page were our three weekly columnists.

It has more freedom from University control than any other student organization. It owns its own im- |-«osing Gothic edifice. It can print whatever il wants, whenever it wants. Unhappily, this kind of ruggtxi individualism is not inexpensive, and in the end it is that good grcx-n payola as much as anything that keeps us alive. It is a tribute to the industr) ' of our business department tiial so many costly s[xxial supplements and feature material were made possible this year. Fostered in the golden year of Trippe. Von Maur. and Neumark, the years of hnuiatue World 1957, Wall Street 1955, and Ivy Maga- zine, our boys were well prepared in the art of shining shekels. It only remained for the Business Manager Dave Goodman, along with Francis Donahue, to reach the rallying cry of 60 percent every day of the week. As a special new year ' s bonus, Goodman gave us that greatest of all reader appeals, Peanuts. However, Peanuts cost a dollar a day, so that it looked for a while as though Charlie Brown and pals might force us into the red. But Dave had an iron fist that ct)uld squeeze blood from a stone, and when it clamped onto the necks of the junior editors and the newborn heelers, the results were amazing. Executive Manager (such an unpusing title) Jerry Biggs selflessly devoted himselt to heeler happiness and the care and feeding of account executives, and even had the grace to take bills in trade at La Galleria when the recession began to move in. Advertising Manager Bob Shackel- ford, on the other hand, was torn between his mundane duties at the Neics and the siren song of a slick semi-monthly mag that was taking root in Hendrie Hall. Phil Faix as Circulation Director successfully placed the Seii- in as many mailboxes as ever before, and as party manager he was a host with the most. Who else would think Black Label was a cheap scotch, and calmly proceed to buy it by the gallon? Steve Middlebrook held office as our Promotional Director, a title which is obviously self-explanatory. But even this impressive phalanx of monetary moguls could be allowed one goof. Remember the Littlest College Daily (and probably also the shortest lived ) ? Conceived as an economic shot in the arm for our lagging Saturday football issues, it probably did more to put the Daily Neirs back in Yale Daily Neirs than anything else. The pocket Neirs quickly got the pocket veto. And so it went. Our year of power has slipped away, a thing of the past. How long has it been since we sold our last inch to Morris Widder of the Owl Shop? Hov ' long since we tore up our last issue? How long since we slapped our last heeler, cleanly and deftly, across the fuzzy left cheek? And yet, we may change, but the OCD will always be the OCD.

Newscaiter: Tonight a look at the year in re- view for Yale University ' s undergraduate radio station, WYBC, the Yale Broadcasting Company. The big election was over and Jim Crankshaw was voted Chairman. Jim had been at the station only a short time but his qualities of leadership and determination were soon recognized. Steve Seiden, was elected Program Director, while Bill Bullock capably filled the position of Business Manager and paved the financial road for new directions at WYBC. Friendly and efficient Frank Tolsdorf, who ran a well integrated and educa- tional heeling system, was an excellent Vice- Chairman. Technical Director Bill Appel guided the research and planning work that was to put FM transmission within easy reach. Winks Feder, stopping otT at W ' BC for a brief career while en route to the wilds of Madison Avenue, be- came WYBC ' s Public Relations director, and Rusty Post was a most effective Secretary. This was the new Executive Board. What they would do and how they would go about doing it, only time could tell. It was January, 1957, and every- one ' s thoughts were on a Prom Date. MGM ' s Robin Hood, a pretty young songstress with a long blonde pony-tale and a surprisingly fine voice, accepted our invitation. Her perform- ance at the Junior Prom was wonderful. NBC ' s Harry Fleetwood and CBS ' s Bob Hall came up from New York to participate in the formal opening of WYBC-A, our classical music station. That was in February of ' 57. Luther Noss, dean of Yale ' s Music School, and conductor Frank Brief? of the New Haven Sym- phony were at the inaugural ceremonies, too. The programming on WYBC-A was praised by many including some at the top. We aired rehearsals by the New Haven Symphony and listening as- signments for courses in History of Music. Billy Graham was also on our wires that winter direct from Woolsey Hall and, although many attended the services in person, there were quite a few who heard his voice at 640 kc. Billy Graham ' s appearance was only a small part of our educational programming during the year, another example of how our special events staflf brought the Yale scene a bit more sharply into focus in ' 57- ' 58. Where were you on the evening of May tenth, 1957? If you were General Gustava Pinilla, your days as Colombia ' s dictator were over. If your name was Dave Beck, you were facing a similar kind of trouble. And if you were a member of Yale University ' s Baker ' s Dozen or ' Vassar ' s Night Owls or Princeton ' s Tigertones or seven other eastern college singing groups, you were in New York ' s Carnegie Hall entertaining a full house. It was WYBC ' s College Sound concert, the first of its kind ever presented on such a large scale. At first the idea seemed ri- diculous; then it looked sensible, but impossible; finally it became workable. We weren ' t sure if we had the professional ability or the foresight to make the concert a success, but there were many supporters from all sides. It meant large scale promotion which our able Public Relations Department provided. In New York the concert Bill Zecktiidorf jnd p.inet 215 wjs puhliiizcd by (he nujor radio stations and nt s[- j|xrs and oin the Sen Yotier gave us J plu .

Shirc-l ogg, and Those Who. to Sprague Hall where a packcil house demonstrated its approval with resounding applause. When the tape recording was played after the performance those present were well aware that college jazz was a growing and vital kind of music. In the spring the hy Network held its annual conclave at Yale. Tlic scAcn stations reached agreements on some affairs and impasses on others. One thing was certain — the need for inter-university contact over the air was great. It was dtxided that during the coming f(H)tbail season each I y League station would furnish its resjxxtive op| inent s station with an inter- view aK ut the game on the evening preceding the game. VX ' e had cxir big farewell banc uci in May. complete with the traditional martinis, mast bcxf. wine, and cigars, NBC s Public Relations head spoke ti us ai out the worUI of publii relations in radio. VX ' e were stirry to see the members of the Class of 19 7 leave the hallowed studios of NX ' YBC. We thought of the station ' s alumni- Dan Sobol. Jamc-s VX ' hitmore, Greg Dawson, Joe Daly, and the others, and some of us wondered how we might fare if we chose radio as our profession. That spring «xir sports staff covered every- thing from baseball to the Trumbull beer n ' bike race. And Dean DcVanc anil Paul Weiss almost came to blows on our panel discussion of senior societies. In the fall the Rhcingold Girls paid us their annual visit and we sent the Princeton fiwtball 216 , oi i ' broadcast from New Jersey ' s marshes all across the country on a national closed circuit hook-up. During the Cornell football game, our s)x)rts announcer was accidentally heard over CBS. WYBC had the booth adjoining CBS ' s atop Schoellkopf Crescent and only a thin, not-quitc- soundproof partition separated the two remote units. It seems that Yale had just picked up quite a bit of yardage and the CBS sportscaster had reported the action and for the moment v as silent. Then through the wall, into the CBS microphone and out over CBS ' s national hook-up came the unfamiliar voice of WYBC ' s announcer: There he goes! He ' s across the line of scrim- mage! Down to the 45 — the -4()! Great blocking! — the 35! And he ' s knocked out of bounds at the . 2! What a play! A few weekends later the Yale Dii ly Neiis reported that it had won the Annual Bladderball Game, 54-0, while printing equally laughable photographs of Crankshaft Jimmy and Sei- denia Stevens. Our costumes were blue and white striped nightshirts accompanied by similar nightcaps, and we carried placards reading: I dreamt I went to the Bladderball Game in my Yale nightie. WYBC ' s senior board deserves commendation; some gave their all — some did not, but at one time or another WYBC was proud of them. Bob Hendricks and Bob Cutler were outstanding in the Business Department as was Bruce Mambo Jockey Freedman whose Latin Escapades de- lighted us. Lew Pell was a great Starduster, whose show left us in stitches. Dave Richardson alv ays did a competent jt)b with whatcx ' er he tried. And Stiiii y }iiof Hl Bd! Bidluch. ■■Bin,,it!S. ' then there was one B. C. N. Jackson, more affectionately known as Christo whose tongue- in-cheek Stardust v ' as the piece de resistance oi the Yale Broadcasting Co. Christo ' s work as News Director was excellent; he often had the news before it happened! John Riggs and Hugh Ronalds were also of vital importance to the News Department. WYBC ' s Best of Broadway was made even more popular by Rob Rusnak. And John Zimmerman kept the requests coming in at UN 5-6400 with his enjoyable Dust. Carl Rose was always ready tt) lend his technical know-liow to any situation which required his careful attention. P. K. L. — that is Pete Loeb — it seems was always saying, Hello Yale. His career as WYBC ' s Sports Director was as re- warding for the station as it was for Peter, and his sportscasts will be missed by many of the fans next year. At the beginning of the year the Program Director gave Peter an idea for a sports program. The show was to feature a Yale sports figure along with several of the station ' s sports staff in discussions of athletic interest. Pete worked the idea over and it finall)- evolved into what is now Press Box. We boosted a host of other new programs: Opiniim which featured undergraduate com- mentary on the Yale scene; Lectern, an all- faculty program which featured the ideas of such teachers as Brand Blanchard and Paul Weiss of the Philosophy Department, Maynard Mack of the English Department, George Hamilton of the History of Art Department, and Erwin Good- enough of the Religion Department; Critic ' s Sun SUfJmiltT.

An clextion was lalktl for, durm which time Motley was elexted CJiairman, and he dexide-d that rexords of tiie mex-tin should be kept.

Bot k and Snake, Psi Upsilon. and DKH) sexretly agreed that there v ere just exactly enough sex ret stKietics on the campus as there were. and. as it was the ni ht that Motleys crew met, the six men de- cided to bust up this new group ' s meeting. Wlicn the astonishexi Motley and his friends were ton- frontexl with the senior scKielics ' ultimatum that they disband, the) ' tried to explain that tiiey weren t a stxrc-t stxiety at all.

All ri;;lit. if you ' re not sexret. what s tliat b Mik you ' ve ot there? the gentleman from DKE asked. ' Tliat ' s our Record Book, Motley said brightly.

And before he could take back what he had said the four rema n ng representatives t)f senior so- tietie-s lic uidated his group. m sorr), ' young Motley sighed, anil he placed his hand on the shoulder of his friend from DKE. I guess you ' d better go now, Jim. From which the gymnasium gets its name. It was contention of the remaining senior so- ciety representatives that if the Motley Crew wanted to remain together they would have to pubHsh their record. That was all right with Motley, and as soon as the stern ones had left the loft, Motley asked for suggestions as to what they should call their magazine. ( The DKE gentleman, having heard them refer to their records as a ' Book told some of his friends on Madison Avenue that this is what the boys at Yale call their magazine; and from that time on, it became de rige r to call one ' s magazine a ' book ' .) • Why don ' t we call it the Yale BANNER? young Dink Stover asked. (Dink Stover, as you remember, was all for banning secret societies entirely, and might well have had he not been tapped by Bones. ) Too flag rant, Motley said. It has to be more subtle; you can ' t hit the public between the eyes. Besides, calling a magazine a ' banner ' is a bit ostentatious, don ' t }ou agree? They all nodded. ' Why don ' t we call it the Ydle Daily News? young Britton Haddon asked. I think Mr. Haddon has a good point there, young Mr. Luce (rhymes with Zeus) added. No! Motley stated firmly. Playboy? No! Motley shook his laurel crowned head, twenty-nine times no ' . After all, we want to be a sophisticated, literate, urbane magazine. I don ' t think it would be a fair job of editing if we weren ' t. ' Why don ' t we call it The Neir Havener? young Harold Ross suggested. And because he didn ' t even go to Yale, no one listened to him. Peanuts, .( prize. I guess we might as well call it the Record, because that ' s all we ' ve got so far, Motley said. He looked around the room and saw that this met with everyone ' s approval. Indeed the group was so pleased they gave him a standing ovation. Motley modestly raised his hand to quell them, whereupon an owl fluttered from the rafters and settled into Motley ' s palm. It ' s a baby owl! Motley cried, I think he should be our mascot. a fe Yale Record PLAYBOY PARODY He ' s thirsty, let ' s give him something to drink. ' hereup ;)n tlie young owl acquired his lirst taste of Cutty Sark whiskcT. Before we adjourn I think we had better think of a new place to meet. It will have to be high up somewhere so that the owl will be happy, and still, convenient to the campus. Motle) ' looked aKiut for suggestions. X ' e want to ktxp away from the Madding Crowd, don ' t we.- young Tom Hardy asked. And if that ' s so. I can think of no better spot than Harkness Tower. And s i the Yale RecorJ began turning out nine laugh-packed issues a year. And thc-y would have remained m Hark- ness Tower forever had not the University dc cided to install belN For a while they worktxl on their magazine at Louie ' s Place, but when the senior sixieties com- plained that the Recoul couldn ' t ser e meals without becoming a so- ciety, and as Louie made them sing for their sup- pers, they left. ( What really made ihem leave was the fait that Louie sold his place to his friend Maur - who want- ed to move up to York Street anyway. ) For the next several years the RecnrJ movcil from building to building, al- • - ways one step ahead of the l ' niversit -; and the owl — now greying slightly around his horns faithfully followed tl cm. In 1925 a generous alumnus donated a new building to the Yale Daily Sen I ( the name had been taken c t-ntu- ally) and the RecorJ took over their old building to sell its magazines from. The RecorJ. still a motley crew at heart, finally sc-ttk-d into the top of O ' Hendrie (named after the famous punch- line author) Hall, where it is now situated. It has continued to turn out at the minimum nine issues a year. And as the old boards have gone by the)- have always left the new board something to remember. ( And that is exactly why the Rec- orJ cannot afford to move out ot O ' Hendrie Hall.) Subsidiar) ' magazines have popf ed out of the RecorJ ' s nest, and in eacii case Old Owl has taken care of his ciiildren. In past years have come tlic Yale Ut. the BANNER, the Criterion, ' Dices.

It has even faithfully set aside money to float other cor|-K)ra- tions. sucii as the Yale Corporation, the Kingslcy Trust, Connc-cticut Light and Power. It luas played an active part in building a better ' ale. The Col- lege System, originally conceived as a RecorJ hoax, was picked up by the Sen s, and with (he guiding hand of Chair- man Harkness. a night- marc bcxanie a reality.

Marty dayman interviewed Brandon Stod dard, Ethan Signer, and Van Bur jess in the second show, an allep ry called I he LtilU Bo) anJ the GreM She Be,ir. Our early experience was vix n ixit t« use in our first Dramat pnxluction. Tatiuffe. Stexe Hamlin and Tom Dixon plugged, fcKused, and operated dozens of li htin instruments. Stexe Lax and CJiarlie Day scoured antique anil junk sho| s for banxjuc furniture, Dave Manuel de sij ncii and excxutc-«l the show |M)sltr, wink Brandon StcKKIard practiced a s|xakin part. The jenius that presided over the theatrical events in those days was a gentleman of inge- nuity, cliarm, and fiery tem|xramtnl, Lct)|X)ldo Santiago Lavandero. Litj ' s skill as a director was taxed to lis utmost by the j-Ht(|-murri which was the Dramat ' s spring musical revue. So What! That winters prcxjuction was The Scareaou, a charming and jxKrtic play by Percy Mackaye. Steve H.imlin devisc-d one of the most elaborate li htinp plots tt be imagined, and Dave Ad noi iz made }x-riodic raids on the GiH dwill to collcxt enc u);h junk to furnish what was sup- p,)sed to be- a down-altheheels colonial smithy. However, the important thin about the slmw A as that it went on tour. We had read in our II scrapbcx)ks of the days when the Dramat oured 20 cities during Christmas vacation m rwo private railroad cars, stopping at the White House and the Waldorf-Astoria. We decided u revive this tradition on a more modc-st scale with en a jements at Greenwich Hi;;li .School ind Merrick Hi h ScIhk I in Lon Island. The transportation this time was a lar e. rented truck, md. in spite of the worst spring blizzard in many .ears, the tcjur went off without a hitch. Wc did fairly well at our first Dramat elec- tions that year. Malcolm McDonald became the Dramat s first sophomore Treasurer, Steve Lax 224 (i junl Business Manager, Steve Hamlin was named Technical Director, and Van Burgess became Publicity Director. Our dominion starte d with The Giectt Gd sb). for which Bob Morgan had composed the music. Dick Cavett and Dave Adnopoz went to work on some characterizations, while Tom Stone made a collection of champagne bottles and other properties. One of Tom ' s unique acquisitions was a small dog which appeared nightly in the first act. The most encouraging innovation that year was that we made money. Gatsby made us enough money to refurbish our Green Room and buy a power saw. At that time, Jon Barnett arranged for the Dramat to expand its activities by initiating a co- operative venture v itii W ' YBC which would pre- sent radio adaptations of well known dramas. Some of the productions of this Critics ' Choice series included Ah. W ildertiess, 1984. and K ug Lear. The next year we arranged for our fall pro- duction. The Lculi ' i Not for B innug. to be directed by Mr. Curtis Canfield, Dean of the School of Drama. Dave Adnopoz, Dick Cavett, and Brandon Stoddard played under Tom Dix- on ' s lights, and our leading lady, Evans Evans, borrowed from the Drama School, went on to play under Broadway lights in Dcirk dt the Top of the Stairs this year. The previous summer we had learned that we were to lose our beloved Leo. His successor pre- sented the Yale Daily News with a typographical nightmare, Psacharopoulos replaces Lavendero. ' 77?t Cie.ii G.ilsby The young man from Athens, Mr. Nikos Psa- charopoulos, who came to us by way of Amherst, Williams, and ultimately the Yale Drama School, had a lot of fresh ideas and enthusiasm. A I ' eif Train the Bridge was the first really serious play the Dramat had done in some years. We were at first uncertain how it would be received. We knew the battle had been won opening night, however, when the curtain came down to cheers and bravos. The Neiiw echoed the opening night audience in praising some of the best performances to have been given in in num New Haven in some time ' Dave Adnopoz, Dick Cavett, Steve Lax, Fred Linton, and Tom Dixon appeared in I leu . At the sound controls was John Jones. Tom Dixon, our new Heehn Manager, was in diar e of a renovation of our heehn [X)hcic-s. Meanwhile we were petting ready for anotlier election. Tliis time Steve Hamhn btxame Presi- dent, Tom Dixon, Vice-President, and Steve Lax was eletled Sccrctar) ' . Malcolm McDonald re- tained his domain over the chcxkbook for an- otlier year, and the Board eltxted Van Burgess to join it as Member-at-Lar e and John Foreman to serve as Heeling Manager. In the spring wc invited tiieatrc groups from a number of other eastern collegc-s to come to Yale fi r wliat is termed a Festival of L ' ndcr- graduate Drama. This involved their perform- ing a short play or scenes from a l ngcr one during a thrcx-day wcx-kcnd. VX ' c also had speak- ers from the pri fc-ssional theatre, among tlicm Bradford Dillman from the cxst of Long Da) ' ! Journey and a Dramal alumnus. The groups re- sponded enthusiastically — abiHit twenty of them came and there were some dozen performamc-s and It was dtvided to repeat the Festival the next year with Steve Lax as Qiairman and Slo ' c Hamlin as his asscxiate. That spring the Dramat launched into an ex- tremely elaborate version of Arthur Schnitzlcr s N ' ienncst comedy, lut RoiiJt. Dave Adnopoz played an amourous husband, while Dick Cavett and Steve Lax wove their ways in and out of the set as running gags. Tragedy struck the Dramat in tlie fall of l ' i ' ' when one of our members, a promising actor in the class of 1960, bcxame critically ill and died. To Rolf Yeager we dedicated the efforts which went into our next production. The Cru- cibU. in whith Dick Cavett and Dave Adnopoz played leading parts. Finally we re.ichc-d the ixint where our |X)si- titms for the Freshman One- Aits were completely reversc-d. This year Steve Hamlin and David Adnopoz dirc-ited the frc-shmen in twt) of the shows. Scott Sullivan submitted a one-.ut entilkd HttngJog whiih Dave dircxted. For our last show we chose Thornton WiKii i 5i n of Our Tetlh. Although this is a show which the Dramat had done somewhere in its deep past, we were sure that Nikos would give it a fresh and novel interpretation. Dick Cavett played a leading role. At this point, except for the Festival to loim at the end of March, the Class of ' 58 stepped aside for the particularly able and inventive men following cUisely on our heels. We feel that wc have hcl|x-d to bring the Dramat into a slightly more stable condition lli.it ili.il m wlmli wc found it. 7• - rfV - t :,.- ; • :♦ T- y t..lH «Lil m A It I r v c ,,r • • Back R,ni ' —hK Wi Vi Simmonds, Hit;uthi, Md Dresden.

YALE SCIENTIFIC MAGAZINE THE tiiirty-scconel volume of the Yale Sc eii- t fic iWagdzine featured great strides in three main fields: article content, cover design, anel service to the Yale community. Among the more outstanding articles printed were The Mimicry Theory of Evolution, The Scientist as a Christian, An Introduction to Parapsychology, and The Theory of Relativ- ity. All articles were written by recognized leaders in the various fields, thus upholding the policy of the Sc eiitific to publish only profession- ally-written articles describing current advances in science and engineering. A major achievement for the magazine was the publication of the first full description of the Solion, a device that may replace the vacuum tube anel the transistor in many applications. A monthly contest for a cover design was in- stituted with the cooperation of the graphic arts department. Three artists were asked to submit cover designs each month, and although the choice was invariably a ehtficult one, the result- ing covers did a great deal to enhance the ap- pearance and salability of the issues. In conjunction with the Admissions Office, the March issue was devoted to a study of the edu- cational and extra-curricular opportunities offered to science and engineering students at Yale. The issue was highlighted by contributions from President Griswold, Dana Young, Dean of the School of Engineering, and Professor Emeritus Edmund W. Sinnot. Five thousand additional copies were printed for distribution to prospec- tive undergraduates and for use by alumni in describing the science and engineering programs at Yale to prospective applicants. Another innovation was a lecture series spon- sored by the Scientific for the Yale community. The first lecture, presented in November, con- sisted of a lecture-demonstration on Tlie His- tory of Sound Reproduction. Other features of the year ' s activities included the Yale Engineering Association-Yale Scientific Magazine Essay Contest, and the annual banquet in Fcbnian-. j( whub the new executive board was announicJ.

The addition of new lights to the advertising and circulation office, along with the ace uisition of a multitude of mail bxskcls, contributed greatly to the efficiency of the offiee operation. 228 YALE LITERARY MAGAZINE CHAIRMAN ROGER C. DIONNE guided the 1958 board of the Yale Literary Maga- zine through a year which saw the advent of an improved format, the inclusion of a new record review section, and as a fitting close to this board ' s activities, the first annual Lit banquet. The credit for the magazine ' s appearance must be shared by George Tecklin, who as Managing Editor, was faced with the multiple problems of having the successive issues printed, and Art Editor John De Cell, who contributed the Lit ' s best covers to date. A major portion of the re- sponsibility for publishing the best undergrad- uate writing available falls to the Poetry and Prose Editors. Charles Dunlop and David Burke, respectively, filled these posts creditably, Charlie also contributing his own excellent poetry and stimulating the meetings for the selection of material with high critical standards. The Review Editors, Edward Everett and Stephen Margolies, kept the level of book reviews at its usual high, and this year reinstituted a section of record re- views, including for the first time in the maga- zine ' s history the newest jazz releases. Both con- tributed poetry from time to time as well. All the minutiae of financial matters were handled this year by Business Manager Myles Behrens. However, what must be accounted this board ' s outstanding innovation was the first Lit banquet. The idea was conceived by Roger Dionne in the spring of 1957, and a list of living alumni of the magazine was compiled at that time. Then in the fall arrangements were made to hold the event in the Yale Club in New York. Invitations were issued to all the alumni, and the banquet took place on the eve of Christmas vacation with board members, contributors, and alumni in at- tendance. Brendan Gill of the Neiv Yorker addressed the group briefly, and Professor Charles Fcnton gave the principal speech on Under- graduate Literary Renascences. Much credit should be given to the 1958 board and especially to Roger Dionne for beginning what should prove to be one of the Lit ' s finest traditions. 229 Bjtk Row — liihh. Priir. Ritcbrtf;.

Ill PtesiJenI EJttorin-Chiej Managing EJiloi AJterihing Dneclor BuMnea Manager Execulne Coordinator Public Relations Director Sports Editor Cof t Supertisor An Duel tor Photograph) EJitor 230 TWENTY-FIVE years from now, we shall look back on 1957-58 as the golden era of Ivy Magazine. We shall thumb through the then yellowed pages and recall how 52,000 enthusi- astic Ivy Leaguers peered anxiously from their windows, hoping to catch a glimpse of the man from Ivy Magazine bringing them the latest edi- tion of the newest concept in college publishing, by the student, for the student, and of the student forever and ever. We shall remember how A Smith-Eye View of the Ivy League Man was greeted with tweedy chuckles; how everyone felt all good inside when David Wang was put in his place within the very pages of our mag; how some jeered and some cheered the incisive remarks of Mike Thomas re high school guys; and most important, how we tingled with pride over the fact that we, a small bunch of courageous, foresighted, devil- may-care seniors, had continued the work of our pioneering predecessors who brought to the I ' - League that thing for which it had so long thirsted, for which it had fought, sometimes se- cretly, sometimes in the open — a voice, a repre- sentation, a chance to be heard. It was a good year; if it wasn ' t the best, it was at least the second best. From the time we took over in May, 1957, and realized that while we were all members of the same well -coordi- nated team in 13 Hendrie, we would be split among four different bladderball squads — from that time until the day when we saw the signs written in blood around our little office threaten- ing Reactionary seniors, go home; is time for youth to take over, it was an eye-opening ex- perience for each of us. If we were a Steve Wilson, we learned that, thanks to a super-abundant supply of depend- able workers, the Managing Editor can call his day his own and turn his thoughts to the life academic. Or if we were a Jim Whelpley we learned that two publications can live as easily as one, and in the same room at that. If a George Anderson, we saw that in the final analysis money really isn ' t anything more than a means of ex- change; or if an Ed Bennett, we found out what the Ivy League really is — a market. If we were a Rob Shackelford, we realized that tomorrow, not today, is the best time to get things organized. If we were a Bob Child, we came to see that a picture is worth ten thou- sand words except when it costs money; or a Phil Ness, we recognized the fact that the differ- ence between a heeling program and a training program is sometimes slight; or a Jt)hn Fiske, that one man ' s circulation manager is another man ' s executive coordinator. And finally, if we were a Mrs. Child, we realized that sometime between the end of senior year and that time w hen one is considered to be a responsible citizen of society, a great change must occur in order to bring a little order out of chaos; and that it is possible to combine the jobs of secretary, book- keeper, and receptionist with those of general manager, nursemaid, and den mother. And what if a couple of issues were late? What if the Deans did give half our office to the P.LI, and with it the ability to make the sun rise and set on Ivy Magazine. ' ' What if the copies for MIT were sometimes misplaced and if New York was hot in the summer and we didn ' t reach that 48 pager? These bits of incidents and trivia will be lost 2 5 years hence, when the really big issues come clearly into focus. ]y NTTW ' ORK ' THE I%T Network Ojrporation scrx ' cs as na- tional advertising representative for six col- lege radio stations: Brown. Cornell, Hanard, Pennsylvania, Princeton, and VV ' BC at Yale. The main otfites are in New Haven and are completely staffed and operated by Yale ' s under- graduates. The organization is a small, tightly knit roup, and the different aspects of ccwrdi- natin a miniature national netv ork encompasses all realms of business and sellm experience. The primary purpose of the organization is to secure advertising from national sponsors for the member stations. To accomplish this, the I y sak-smcn must compete, on ecjual basis, with the national radio networks and other advertising media. It is, therefore, not unusual for an I y saic-sman to catch an express to New York, and be seen trudging, briefcase in hand, in the chal- lenging world of Madison Avenue. To be able to face a time buyer with confidence, hy sales- men must be very familiar with college radio and the entire structure of the advertising field. Ncedk-ss to say, trips into New York during the wc-ek prove cjuite colorful against the background of the normal college routine. The op|-K)rlunify for valuable contacts in the advertising field are limitk-ss; numerous ex-members now hold prom- inent positions in advertising. Ne York and national sale-s are but one area of the Corporations functions. There is also a great deal of business mtxhanics involved in co- ordinating the activities of the member stations. Interchange of tapc-s, billing, network |X)licic-s, information, and any official problems of mem- ber stations come under the close scrutiny of the Network Board. Trips to the various stations are c uite frecjuent. and there are regular con- vc-ntions held in the Fall and Spring at the member colleges. With Its firmly planted reputation on Madison Avctiue and its continual expansion, the hy Network will undoubtedly continue to offer its members valuable professional training and c cellent contacts with the world of advertising 232 Yanowitz.

YALE DEBATING SOCIETY AT the annual banquet last spring the mem- bers of the Yale Debating Society could puff away on their Osterweis cigars with a feeling of well-earned satisfaction. At the center of the table stood a gold cup, the Frederick Greenman Trophy, awarded to the winner of the Yale-Harvard-Princeton Triangular Debate. James C. Miller, Vice-President for the 1957- 1958 season, Ronald Sohigian, Member-at-Large, and Charles E. Allen, were instrumental in Yale ' s retention of the trophy. In addition, a glance at the record revealed that Yale had also emerged from the Ivy League competition tied for first place. William S. Kilborne Jr., President, contributed both to last year ' s defeat of a team sent from England and, in collaboration with Richard Steyert, Secretary, and Richard Engel, to the drubbing of Princeton this year in the annual fall humorous debate in which Yale took the negative of the proposition, Resolved: That the Ivy League should return to the double breasted suit or the one button roll. Engel and Steyert, in a colorful and totally unexpected finale, cast off their Fenn-Feinstein jackets and J. Press ties and trousers and stood dressed in the style of the future: aesthetic, comfortable and modern bright red skiing underwear. This March, R. Peter Hunt, Manager, will head a team going up to Cornell while Thomas W. Bauer and Herbert Yanowitz will combat Brown on the tentative topic, Resolved: That this house prefers Woolworth to Wordsworth. This spring Jim Miller and Ron Sohigian will participate in the Regional Tournament at Wor- cester, and if succesful, they will continue into the National Tournament at West Point. Because of their accomplishment at the N. Y. U. Hall of Fame Debate Tournament, where they placed second out of 50 competing teams, hopes for a comparable distinction in the Nationals have been running high. Under the coaching of Rollin G. Osterweis, an even better year seems to be in the offing. 233 Sccoid, Flonioj. ALL PULlilLAL LMUN THE stor)- of the twt-nlytliird year uf Uit PL ' bt an in Dcicmbcr of iy 6 when CJurlcs E. Allen succeeded Malcolm McDonald a Presi- dent of the I ' nion. Ekxttd with Allen to scrx ' c for the year were Steven W. Matthysse. Vice- President; Clarence D. Fleming. Jr.. Secretary; and Eric C. Hicks. Treasurer. The administration dedicated itself to developing politically minded leaders, to kc-eping the whole student bcxly aware of political developments, and to providing a forum for the discussion of campus and national issues. An integral part of the Union is the party- system. The parties scrxe to organize debate and to give each member an opportunity to express his views in informal caucuses. Reading from Left to Right, one comes first to the representa- tive of the American Left, the LiKral Party, led by Richard A. Posner in the spring, and by Fred Cowlcs in the fall of 1957. Tlie Conser ativc Party, chaired by Robert M. Arias, has long been the most popular party in the Union, composed primarily of moderate Re- publicans. This year the part)- originated the highly sutccssful Ciinstrvalive Forum, in which faculty members presented the Conservative [-Kisi- tion on national issues. Presenting the right side of the | litical line was the Party of the Right, whose C hairman in the spring was Jared C. Lobdell. and in the fall. John H. R. Plews. Called by one of its members a party f )r thinking Conserx-atives, the Party of the Right is made up primarily of right-wing Republicans and Southern Democrats. Although the smallc-st of the three partic-s. the Party of the Right won the Union award for highc-st attend ancc. adding ten dollars to its treasury. The administration began the first successful Union magazine. The Ro lrnni. edited by Kent Marquis. The Roilrunj published a dozen issues during the year, devoted to rc-scarch and disc us- sion on current topics. The term began with an addrc-ss by Mr. Tah- seen M. Bashecr. Egyptian Press Attache at the U. N.. who spoke to a standing rcmm audience of over 200. This was the first of a series of meet- ings on the Suez crisis. The second sp cakcr of the series was J. Hamilton Peck. Dirc-ctor of the 254 British Overseas Information Services, who gave tile British reply to Basheer ' s attack. Presenting the IsraeH point of view was Rabbi Fischotf of Yale. However, tlie main function of the Political Union is the holding of parliamentary debates, in which students may participate rather than just listen. To this end the Union held several debate meetings, typical of which was Resolved: That the Communist Government of China should be admitted to the United Nations, a resolution which was overwhelmingly defeated. Former Governor and Ambassador to India Chester Bowles next spoke to the Union on the changing American political scene. He was fol- lowed by two high-ranking officials, Roy R. Ru- bottom. Under Secretary of State for Latin Ameri- can Affairs, and Gabriel Hauge, chairman of the President ' s Council of Economic Advisers. In the Fall term two changes occurred in ad- ministration. Clarence D. Fleming, Jr., took over as Treasurer and Dean H. Secord became Secre- tary. The Union began the term with two debates. First was a discussion of tlie explosive Little Rock situation, in which the use of force by the Federal Government was upheld. At the October 25th debate on farm price supports, a resolution was introduced by Dean Secord commemorating the Hungarian fight for freedom. Two distinguished members of the Yale fac- ulty, Ralph Fisher and Henry G. Wallich, next addressed the LJnion. Fisher gave an illustrated talk on his tour of the Soviet Union, and Wallich, who is an economic adviser to the President, dis- cussed conservative economic policy. In December, visiting Professor Dennis W. Brogan proved that having met a payroll is not adequate background for public office in a com- bined speaker-debate meeting. Shortly thereafter, the Political LJnion participated in a Voice of America program on disarmament, broadcast around the world by the State Department. Despite a raging snowstorm, the Union packed over 500 people into the Law School auditorium to hear the Ethnarch of Cyprus, Archbishop Makarios III, discuss the smouldering crisis over British rule. The Makarios meeting climaxed a highly successful year. The Union has a place on the Yale campus which cannot be filled by any other Yale organi- zation; it is part of the Yale tradition, and again in 1957, the largest undergraduate organization on the campus. 235 Brffi Roll— Lm-ciii) ' .

LL C.LLL LI, LB WI 1 II the stent of d European summer lour drifting seduitiveiy over the Yale campus, more than 2 () up[xrtlassmen, the lar i-sl roup ever, made their My toward Hendrie Hall to Iry out for the Iy -1V K Gltx- Club. Whe n the vigorous voice tr)-out were finished and the searching choices made, the Club, with 50 new men, as ready to prefure a new program. Fenno Heath, the Dircxtor. skillfully seltxted a program of interesting diversity and tradition- ally fine quality. In time the Club mastered the intricate details required by its dircxtor and made Its initial appearance at the Dartmcmth W ' txkend Band Concert in a program of Cole Porter music. The first out of town concert was pivcn at the Kent School. A roup of sacrtxl seltxtions was highlighted by the jubilant Cantatc Domino tif Orlando Gibbons and the moving O L« rd. Increase My Faith by Hans Leo van Hassler. Contemporary- music composed by members of the Yale faculty followed, and included such selections as An Irish Lullaby by Virginia Mackie, and Richard Donovans interpretation of the poem To All You Ladies Now At Hand by CJiarlc-s Sackville. Earl of Dorset. Next uerc a group of folk songs arranged by Marshall Bar- tholomew, William DawMin, and Fenno Heath. The Songs from the ' ale Song B(K)k provided a nostalgic touch which was to delight the alumni in later concerts. To add to the diversity of the program. Donald Shtlhorn dircxted a semi-chorus in five Lit+)c lieder Waltzes, and the ever-popular WhifTs added a light touch to the pnKeedings. This concert program was the basis « f all appear- ances during the first semester. The trips themselves were hardly uneventful. On the first evening of the official season, the great uncharted by-ways of Conntxticut proved an almost insurmountable barrier for several drivers, including Fenno. A week later the Club joined its Princeton counterpart in the first of two traditional football concerts. In certain cases it was amusing to note the novelty of a first en- counter with formal attire. However, a week later the Harvard Concert, performed before the larg- est audience ever to have heard the Yale Glee 236 Club in New Haven, proved a climax to the early season activities. Of particular interest in these two concerts was the success of Fenno ' s new composition, The People Will Live On, adapted from a poem by Carl Sandburg. The wheels v ere now rolling, and New York audiences enjoyed fine concerts at Glen Cove, Long Island, at Hunter College, and at the New- York University Hall of Fame Ceremony honor- ing Yale professor Josiah Willard Gibbs. The usual flurry of pre-vacation hour tests, papers, and extra rehearsals was soon over, and the Christmas Tour began. President Job Emerson demanded proper decorum ( no khakis or gravy- stained neckwear), l- ' enno pleaded for modera- tion, and Manager Keith Cullinan distributed numerous tags, stickers, and itineraries that left no doubt as to the fine organization of this trip. In addition, Fenno added a group of Christmas carols to the repertoire, and when all the bags were finally packed, everything was put aboard our special train, except Keith ' s tail-coat. A most receptive audience jammed the ball- room at the Yale Club of New York to open the tour successfully. The following evening was marked by the gracious reception of the Wil- mington alumni who pro ' ided dinner, lodging, and entertainment after the concert at the Du- Pont Playhouse. After a da)--l(ing bus ride, the Club arrived in Fenno ' s home town, in Hampton, Virginia, to sing at the Musical Arts Series. A large and receptive audience greeted them at Ogden Hall on the Hampton Institute campus, and the result was one of the most enthusiastic concerts of the entire year. Later that evening and nn)st oi the next day the Greyhound Bus Company endeared itself to the Yale Gl ee Club forever by extending a painful 12 hour bus trip to Columbus into an IS hour ordeal. Who will forget that breakfast in Flkins, West Virginia! Yet the Club recei ed its |ust reward in Colum- bus, Ohio, where the alumni group efiiciently sped us from the hotel and to the concert with the aid of the Columbus Police Department, who never spared the sirens or the red lights all eve- ning. Amazingly, the concert was one ol the best of the tour, and a deliuhtful dance followed. 237 Junior Managers Darling and Grcgor) en- deared themselves to the rest of tlie Club by hustling ever) ' body througii breakfast by eight o tlixk on the following morning, only to wait in the Columbus station for a train that was over two hours late. Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, the next stop on the tour, was considered by most as the high point of the tour. In addition to tlie usual alumni parties, the Pittsburgh Gi)lf Club was the siene of the annual Christmas party. A steak dinner was followc-d by many champagne toasts, and in the true spirit of the season, Santa Claus Tt)ny Qiase presided over the exchange of s ime extraordinary gifts. It wa.s a weary Club that arrived in Harrisburg. Pennsylvania, for the final concert of the tour. After the concert and a splen- did party, it was a still wearier lontmgent that separated the next morning to return home for a well -de-served vacation. With the new yiar. there were nc % ' songs to be learned. Regular concerts were given at the Shakc-speare Theatre m Stratford. ConncxticAJt. m West Hempstead. Long Island, and in Morns- town. New Jersey. As usual the traditional Junior Prom Concert was sung before an enthusiastic home town audience. However, the clinux of the scxond semester came after many hours of re- hearsal devdted to the Brahms ' Recjuiem ' and the Hindemith Cjnticle to Ho|v. ' l1)c Smith Col- lege Glex- Club joined the Yale C lub for a full wix-kc-nd of singing which included concerts in W(K)lsey Hall and Carnegie Hall, as well as a most enjoyable party al the Fence Club. The remainder of the year was spent in prep- aration for the Huropean tour, except for the usual diversions of the Glex Club Jamboree and tlie C ommencement Ccincert. Many new numbers were learnc-d, old ones were polished, passport applications and vaccinations were completed, and the very controversial blazer question was resolved. Fenno called for several extra rehearsals before Commencement, and everybody was most enthusiastic as thev awaited the departure. The six week European tour was the culmina- tion of many months of planning by Fenno anil four manager Alex Purvc-s. Pan-American World Airways flew the Club to the British Isle-s fo r a wt-ck of concerts. Then, after crossing the chan- nel tc the continent, the C lub sang concerts in Amsterdam and Hengelo, Holland, as well as Munster I ' niversity in Germany. In Scandinavia, student organizations s[x n sored concerts in Copenhagen, Gothenburg, Oslo, StcKkholm. and Visby. Probably the most en- joyable feature of this part of the trip was a two day excursion on the Hardangerfjord. Touring in Poland and C zcxhoslovakia was scheduled to precede the ap|x-arance of the C lub at choral festivals in Munich and Vienna, where they were to have the pleasure of singing with the finc-st European choruses. The concert in Heidelberg is significant btxause of the close association bc- twe-en ' ale and this German university. A fitting climax to the tour was the concert given in the t ' nili l States ex| sitiiin buiKling at the Brussels World ' s Fair. At this jxinl the Glee (lub sepa- rated for a wcxk of indiMitual travel, and then most of the Club gathered in Pans on the last day of July for the rdurn flight to New ' ork. Most of the succc-ss of this year ' s Club can be attributed to the way in which each member maintained a high level of interc-st in singing during this, one of the busiest seasons in the histur - of (he Yale Glee Club. 238 Back Rotr — Popp, Thompson, Moore, Clegg, Folger, Nightingale, Burnett, Collins, Putsch.

Again under the leadership of Donald Shelhorn, ' 56M, the Club ' s musical capabilities continued to improve. The contemporary works on the program, such as Three Landscapes by Heath, The Broken Melody by Sibelius, and Te Deum Laudamus by Pecters, provided both Club and audience with material to satisfy the more modern tastes. Mr. Shelhorn ' s arrangements of three Negro spirituals and Once to Every Man and Nation added to the variety of the program. The Club ' s pre-Christmas engagements in- cluded performances at the Choate School and at Briarcliff College. The latter e ent proved to be a highly enjoyable social evening; to every- one ' s surprise, the Club also sounded good. But bad luck caused the cancellation of municipal con- certs in Bridgeport and Little Falls, New Jersey, and New Haven ' s worst snowstorm in years made it impossible to reach Pembroke for the joint concert scheduled there. The new year tinally got under way with a municipal concert in Mama- roneck. New York. The program was well-re- ceived, and all went smoothly, Patch even ar- riving m time to hold down his half of the yodelling chores in The Deitch Company. Beer and sandwiches for all followed the concert at the Garlock ' s, although Baysinger preferred to search out local talent. There followed performances at the House in the Pines Schools, Tarrytown, New York, and with the Vassar Glee Club, the latter concert featuring Hindemith ' s Five Songs on Old Texts. The annual Woolsey Hall Jamboree and a concert with the Women ' s Choral Society of New Haven, featuring a motet for double chorus b) ' J. S. Bach, concluded the year. And although many of the year ' s e cnts were quickly forgot- ten, somehow the memory of President Jim Sheffield, hands conlidently poised for the de- cisive!?) downbeat of Bright College Years, lingered on. 239 W 1 111 1 I l ' ( K)l S ()!■ 19)N • ' OT llic pitch?

Knowing that tlity were the forty-ninth group to sing under this heading, the) ' tried to do what their Pitchpipe. kindly olil DcKtor Kinzel asked. Often this was a difhcult task: the night that he wantc-d a third verse to ' Aj Lucka Lucka ' stands out in their mtmor - Nevertheless, thty tried. They Icarnc-d a great deal, almost from the morning in April of Junior year when they discovered their stomachs were not where they had left them the night before Starting the year on September first, tlity reported to the Lee, Massachusetts iiome of Gin ' Miller, discovering several important things: eight hours a day was hardly enough time to learn some of ■Ja ' Casscl ' s arrangements; they had to find a d(Ktor to stay with the group t Mn(y-ft)ur hours a day throughout the year; the Western Massa- chusetts Quoits Association umler the direction of Popocatajx-tl Post really did matter; Mxcer played with a plastic ball can be disastrous. After a highly suicc-ssful concert before the assembled Miller clan who had come from the f(H)iliills for the event they wandered toward C harlcstown. Rhode Island, to the home of Droptliat shoot- in ' Arnold where his family had e-slablishcd a colony. It was her e that another revelation was rctcignize-d; oysters really do matter— and Ja Cassel proved it to them beyond the shadow of a cliche — this was their first moment of truth. Back at Yale they tried to wander through 240 tlie periphery of Senior year without affecting some of the commitments they had made. ' Nunis ' CuUinan was the wisest by Christmas time; lie married his. Soon a widows ' association was es- tablished, with two of the fiancees flying to Ber- muda for a surprise as a direct result of this new association. Their presence necessitated the two men in question to break tiie dates tiiat they had made for the rest of the vacation period, but after the initial shock had been overcome, every thing was right again. By Spring Vacation tliey liad learned many more interesting things. Stick ' em ' Opsahl ' s rendition of ' At Words Poetic . . . ' could be a new and exciting experience each time it was performed. ' Hie ' Eppes had been disap- pointed at seeing only fish at an aquarium. ' Drop- not all round and fat and from the- Black I ' orcst, and Dentists did not keep their mouths closed all the time. They found that Mory ' s own Louis wanted to be a percussionist with the group, and that the Beatitudes were only too true on Monday nights . . . the song ' Got a Date w ith an Angel was heard more than once. But they continued on their way, a oiding cliches of expression and of experience. They had kissed their American Heritage, their moth- ers, goodbye in September, and they were in the process of kissing their old ways of life goodbye. I ' ve never had more than three drinks in a day ' said the small one, the one who was lost behind a plastic snowbank in Wilmington. ' They call this duck hunting!

BACHELORS JUST two and one-lulf years a o, a rather in- conspicuous aggregation of undergraduates, known unpronounceably as tlie Ambystomians. decided unanimously upon a new name for tiieir singing group. It was then that the Fraternal Order of Bachelors was born amidst loud cheer- ing, dribbling beer, and somewhat uncertain vo- cal harmony. It seemed as if the change in name had a magical effect upon the group, for after that memorable day in December, the stern hand of director Paul Walter drilled and pleaded all the un certainty out of the Bachelors ' harmony. The Bachelors ' successful appearance at the Chi Phi jamboree in February, 1957, resulted in the group ' s being selected to perform in the Woolsey Hall Spring Concert last year — an appearance that symbolized the Bachelors ' arrival. Sweat and toil do not, ho ever, tell the entire tale, for the members still recall fond memories of their Florida trip in March of ' 56, and look forward eagerly to a similar excursion this spring. Memorable engagements at the Freshman Prom, the Pine Orchard Country Club, ' Whitney Theatre, and at a New York party given by the Belgian envoy to the United Nations are but a tew of the highlights that mark the Bachelors ' career. Musically speaking, the Bachelors ' style is versatile, but their forte resides in a modern groove. Seniors Chuck Schock and Dick Gilinsky liave arranged the bulk of the group ' s repertoire, but sophomore John Levin ' s writing has been both original and tasteful, and the Bachelors anticipate many exciting and fresh ideas from him in the future. The Bachelors provide the perfect outlet for those who are vocally inclined, and good times are not to be denied; likewise, the never-ending need for new tunes brings out the frustrated Hammerstein in many. This year the group ' s big push was the production of a 12-inch L.P. which has brought fame and (some) fortune to the members. 245 U. ;i ;, h.

DE PORTERS FORGING into its third t irmal u)iuert sea- son, a singing conglomeration known as De Porters, tlie De Porters, De the Porters, or by various other appellations, saw the vanishing of certain formerly turbulent elements and the ap- pearance of new antithetic ones. Past controver- sies over such matters as leadership, Bagpipism, (an arranging style peculiar to the group in its infancy), and a new name, gave way to new con- troversies over leadership, Bagpipism, and a new name ( which evidently has not yet been chosen ) . This makes short shrift of the gruesome, yet fascinating, internal workings of De Porters. If you have ever found the group when they were practicing in the Davenport piano room, you might have observed, in addition to a female auxiliary numbering five, the group ' s eleven reg- ular members. Striving for first tenor were Paul Blanchard and Joel Hoersch. Comfortably at second were Hobie King, Bob Archer, and quar- terback Dave Ehrlich. Playing Monday-morning quarterback was Bob Burnett, assisted at baritone by Dave Helms and Ken Lem. Holding up the sound from the bottom were Sid Holderness, Hal Morrow, and Dick Ericson, who sang the praises of Old Paint (not to be confused with his polo pony) . De Porters were most fortunate in obtaining the invitation of Mr. Bernie Dumoff, v ' ho plays Louie at the Hofbrau Haus, to sing for their sup- per each Monday evening. Despite the fact that many eyebrows went up at Good-night, Little Girl, this was mitigated by the oohs and ahs resulting from the crooning of our answer to Harry Belafonte. From this evolved great things: television, the theatre, and a world of fame rang ' ng from Miss Watkins ' young ladies at St. Timothy ' s to the ivied halls of Morning- side. Other schools which heard De Porters in- cluded Briarcliff, Russell Sage, and, of course, that mother of men in her Saturday-night glory. The dawning of the future brings greater aspira- tions, and more and greater battles over leader- ship, Bagpipism, and a nevs ' name. 247 itiiy tllii ' il lk«n, Cunninplij prfihw i(.

Bob Lindgren was already there, playing through Small Hotel on the bargain piano. Seated on a library desk, May was discussing how short that last weekend with Beth was with Schmitt and Fenimore, who had their own ideas about weekends at Conn College. Stubbs and Dittrick were heatedly arguing a bridge hand, as Thomp- son and Neufeld entered, follov ' ed by a sleepy- looking Dick Lindgren. Starr was talking to Loucks and Cameron about a possible Philadel- phia singing engagement. Bob turned from the piano and said, O. K. guys, let ' s line up. Wood gargled a note, Tatistchefif rumbled, and another JEster rehearsal had begun. The year 1957-1958 was a growing year for the JEsters, the only singing group at Yak- originating from one residential college. LInder the musical direction of Bob Lindgren, the group had learned such new arrangements as I Can ' t Get Started With You, Lullaby of Birdland, and Basin Street Blues otherwise known as Around the World, and Won ' t You Come Along. At the annual JE Jamboree the JEsters made a successful debut before the Yale audi- ence. Engagements at Conn College, the Medical School, and JE College functions followed. A week before Christmas vacation, the JEsters went to Choate, and the following Saturday three carloads of JEsters descended on Sarah Lawrence. After an enjoyable singing engagement, one car- load of JEsters and girls headed tov ' ard New York, despite vehement protests from one JEster. Strangely enough, only JEsters returned from New York, haunted by cries of Well! Where do you think you ' re going? At the Chi Psi Jamboree the JEsters had an opportunity to display the results of practice and the musical disciplining of Bob Lindgren, and performed very competently. After spring vaca- tion, the JEsters again began engagements and excursions to women ' s colleges, and who knows, perhaps a JEster Weekend lies ahead. 249 OKIM II is AM) MX I lUS THE mos( famous musician of jII time «as Orpheus ' Everett. Having spent his early years arranging suili songs as I Cover the Waterfront and Gigi from the Figi Isles, ' Orplicus gained suth acilaim that Apollo l au(.liald presented him with a golden pitchpipc. His fortune was made. Having missed a five o ' cliKk libation cere- mony. Orpheus incited the wrath of Zeus Mcromh, who placed a curse on him; and, a,s Prometheus Gregory has prcdictc-d, a poison- ous snake lurking outside the Fence Club bit Orphcus ' s best girl Eurydice on the achilles ten- don. In spite of the efforts of lasius Aiken- head, renowned heeler. Eurydice died, and de- scended into Tartarus, the Land of the Dead. Grief-stricken, Orpheus went to the Hof-Braj with Bacchus McClellan in in attempt to drown his sorrows. At length, the two resolved to descend into Tartarus in search of Eurydice. With Bacchus singing first tenor, the duct so charmed the ferry- man, Charon Bacon, that he ferried them across the River Styx without charge. On the other side, the ferocious three-headed dog CA-rcbus Banker threatened the would-K- rescuers, but when Bac- chus began Htmeysuckle Rose. Cerebus began singing Swt-ct Sue, and Orpheus had another arrangement. The group was finally rcxog- nized by the Tliree Judgc-s of the Dead, Minos ' Gustafson, Rhadamanthys Rogers, and Aea- cus Klopp. Having [x-rsuaded the Three Judges to s|xak favorably for their cause to Hades l iomis. the whole group had a fine time with C) Joe and Chattano iga Choo-ChcKi. Orpheus eventually convinced Hades to grant Eurydice her freedom, but on one condition: that Orpheus might not look behind him until she was safely back under the sun s light. When he reached the sunlight, however. Orpheus turned to sec if Eurydice were still behind him. thus losing her forcAcr.

The Winks (. ) met in the wilds of Northeast- ern Pennsylvania in September and settled down to the drone of a pitch-pipe. Our progress was amazing; we made very little. But five enthusiastic sophomores soon began to cooperate, and in no time we were back in blend. With a new record to push, we planned a full fall schedule. To add to the confusion oi the football season we inherited the tower rehearsal room from another singing group. One after- noon someone called from the court below, Rapunzel, Rapunzel, let down your long hair. Spas did and we nearly lost a member. It was back to Hendrie, far from all danger. On February 3, during our initiations at Mory ' s four new freshmen were subdued by numerous Rum Cups.

At that time, a few recruited musicians played f rp songs at the Bowl on Saturdays during the f(M)tbali sexson. After the Har ' ard game, the Band found little reaMtn for continuing its existence and |X ' acefully dismantled its trombonc-s and tubas until the next September. Under the direction of Mr. Wilson, the Yale Band is now actually two organizations: the l-oot- ball Band, conducted by Mr. Vun Kannon, of 1 1 5 members which performs at all fixitball gamc-s and at the Pops Concert; and the Concert Band of 70 members which presents concert hall programs covering a wide range of music. Tlic football season was especially successful for the Band this year. Some of the half time performances included A Histor)- of Tlie Yale Band and a Roman Spc-ctacular. The former of thc-sc began with the first Yale Band of nine hardy RcAolutionan,- War heroes playing ' ankce DiMnlle and forming a . and milid with the Band of the future in a Sputnik fnrni.i tion playing an atonal Bulldog. Tlie Roman S[xxtacular, performed for a capacity crowd m Palmer Sta lium, began with an announcement in Latin and further amused the crowd when a toga clad Nero stepped to the center of the arc-na to watch the latest gladia torial contest. In that struggle, an underdog Bull- dog mci and vanquished the formerly undefeated Tiger while the Band and the crowd cheered with Hold That Tiger. The regionally tcle iscd Harvard game pro vided a fertile held for the Band s final effort. At that time, the Band made a pan dy of man lung band techniques, saving the full brunt of its attack for the visiting band. At the sound of a double barreled shotgun blast, the Band used the Ha •ard method of getting from one formation to another — the scatter technique. Immediately after the blast, frisbies, beer, cards, and water pistols appeared and the Band mulled around the 25J iwilhan field. Another blast of tlie gun and the Band formed Harvard ' s shell wliile the world ' s largest bass drum was rolled on the field. This 7 ' 2 drum was larger than Harvard ' s claimant to tiic title by 13 inches! Tiie Band ended the show and its season by gladdening the hearts of all Old Blues with the Marching Eli. The annual Pops Concert, held on Dartmouth weekend, proved to be more popular than any ot its predecessors. The evening was devoted en tirely to the music of Cole Porter, Class of 1913. whose great talent for diversity — he wrote botii Bulldog and So In Love — insured an en joyable evening. Featured with the Band were Lanny Ross, Class of 1928, the Shire-Fogg Quin- tet, the Whiffenpoofs, Basil Duke Henning, and Luther Noss. The finale featured both the Band and the Yale Glee Club in special arrangements of Night and Day and Begin the Beguine. mmuu mmwLt t- ■-- Immediately after the Harvard game, the Foot- ball Band was disbanded and the Concert Band was formed. This group, reputed to be one of the finest organizations of its kind in the East, performed a challenging selection of works by such composers as Ibert, Shoenberg, Mendels- sohn, Hoist, Vaughn Williams, Marcello, Pur cell, Haydn, and others. After playing host to the annual clinic of the Connecticut Music Educators Association, the Concert Band began preparing for a series of winter engagements which took it to various New England cities. For the fifth consecutive year, bad weather hit New Haven on the day of the Bands annual Winter Concert in Woolsey Hall. This year ' s storm, with the largest snow accumulation in 2 5 years, forced a postponement of the con- cert. A Mayor ' s parking ban and the deep snows on the new date prevented the expected large turnout from materializing, but the band per- formed its most difficult concert admirably to a small but loyal group of music lovers. In April, the Band appeared with the Yale Glee Club and the Orchestra in a Carnegie Hall performance of Canticle of Hope by Hinde- mith. The Band finished the year with the tra- ditionally popular series of Twilight Concerts on the Cross Campus. After this outstanding year, the officers, under the extremely capable leadership of Messrs. Wil- son and Vun Kannon, reorganized the formal structure of the Band in hopes of providing more suitable machinery through which the Band will be able to fulfill its rapidly growing number of obligations. The number of officers was reduced, while a system of officer-aid was introduce d to allow willing sophomores to assume responsi- bility in the organization. Finally, the work of the bursary stafif was more closely correlated with the work of the officers and conductors. 253 b ' ji ' l Rob — IlitKkuv. Hill. Mulim. Utcf. Milkt. Krllr . Hj(1Ic ' . liMm.

Muments of rcflcvtitin. emotional crises, and tlic expcrienie of tlie i lass- room based on an inherited reli ii us background all help to ive these values a semblanie of form and meaning. Many students thus characterize themselves as honc-st sc-ekers who ad from some dtxp inner concern and continue to look for an ultimate value in life. Tliese men arc religious in a broad sense. AnotJier group, smaller tlian the first, consciously seeks to find its place within the traditional Qiristian framework. Dwight Hall exists for the benefit of both grou| s. The latter makes most frcc ucnt use of Dwight Hall s organized study and worship program, while both groups merge to contribute fully in the area of community service. ' In its role as a Christian Assixiation, Dwight Hall attempts to be sensitive to the vital areas of concern on campus and in greater New Haven. Yale is no longer the little temple it was in the days of Benjamin Silliman and Timothy DwighC; yc-t there are still the dedicated Chris- tians who scxk to understand their sorld through the eyes of faith. The members of the Deputa- tions Committee are characteristic of such a gr«)up. These students meet in order to under- stand and interpret the mission of the Christian and his Church to contemjxjrar) ' scxiety. They arc concerned with the problem of communicat- ing the Christian faith to a sciular age. On invitation and with some trepidation and mod- esty the)- organize teams of undergraduates to visit various Connecticut churches where for a wt-ekend they direct several activities in the churches. By participating in worship services, teaching Church school classes and presenting stimulating topics to youth groups, the)- translate their thought into words, their faith into practice. Another enterprise closely related to Dwight Hall deals with the problem of communicating in ideas. The inde|x-ndent publication, Cutenon. attempts to promote more thoughtful understand- in of tlie problems and values that concern undergraduates. The Criterion board comprises a group of students who range individually from a scientist to a literary critic, from a committed Christian to an atheist. Meeting weekly in Dvvight Hall, they criticize original pieces which in their revised forms become articles in the magazine. Published four or five times a year. Criterion includes various forms t)f literary expression, from fictiun to poetry and essay. Regardless of the form there is a manifest recognition of the criteria ' for thought and action; each contribu- tion attempts to grasp the purpose of formu- lating values for living. With a circulation of nearly a thousand the magazine finds itself eagerly and thoughtfully read. Dwiyht Hall also realizes that the Yale com- munity is but a part of greater New Haven and that a Christian faith alone, vvithout works, is meaningless. Recognizing this, the Community Council of Dwight Hall recruits the services of over 400 Yale men who work in sixteen com- munity agencies. The variety of activities includes directing basketball teams in boys ' clubs, serving as volunteer orderlies in Grace-New Haven Hos- pital, and VN ' orking with homeless men at the Yale Hope Mission. The rewards are double: both to the needy of New Ha en and to the Yale student himself. This year several students in Dwight Hall saw a new way to serve the underprivileged New Haven youth when they decided to sponsor a summer camp. Thanks to the generosity of the Yale Civil Engineering department, Dwight Hall will use the camp at Ole Lyme, Connecticut, for a four week period. The Yale Summer Camp promises to be a challenge to the Yale students who will serve as its counselors and staff mem- bers, and further illustrate their desire to benefit New Haven as a whole. Over its long history Dwight Hall has sought to uphold the ideals of Christian faith and work, and has sought for ways of communicating its ideals to a sometimes hostile, sometimes recep- tive environment. There are always new areas to be reached by thought or action, new prob- lems to challenge the imagination of men in Dwight Hall. Open to every man at Yale, the seekers and the committed, Dwight Hall exists in the faith that life becomes more meaningful as men give as much as they can to the highest and best they know. For the committed this means loyalty to the Christ as the hope of the world. njtt l u — Hjitci. cuci. Lruil « TiiiT ' Cjuiiiiuiiit, r MiJJU Ruu—Mt Clrmctti. HjII.

But on a more meaninji ful level the group has met and worked together, attempting to understand the denominational and personal variations in each other ' s beliefs. The n(xin.lay chapel ser ' ices in D ight Hall have offered possibilities f ir participation and leader- ship in public worship sc •iccs. Guidance and counsel has come mwt willingly from the University Chaplain, the Reverend Uncle Sid ' Lovtit and his Associate Chaplain, the Re ■erend Uncle Burt MacLean. To the great loss of the Yale community, I ' ncle Sid is retiring from his position as University Chap lain. He has labored unrelentingly in behalf ol the Deacons and the)- hold him in their highc-si esteem. One of the frctjuc-nt criticisms made about Yale life is that one is always so busy that tlierc is ncAer any time to sit back and think. Sharing in the Christian worship services as U ' ndergradu ate Deacons has provided thc-se seniors with a real opportunity to reflect on their existence and its pur[ sc. As such this ex|xrience has become a meaningful part of their life at Yale. In the midst of a busy and progressive civilization, there have been «iccas:ons when some have found a new depth in the words of the Psalmist. Be still and know that I am G d. For (his reason, these 22 seniors are grateful for the privilege to have be-en L ' ndcrgraduatc Deacons in Christ Church at Yale. 2 6 :l8 i ' . • ' It f ' BRIwsJ k Lr, K t; ' ° kl KFl kl K J Bb B ' , r 1 s r tf t ' t f ' ' t i ll (i1 .ft pl f mm 8 E • WKBmam Back Ruti—UnS.

UNIVERSITY CHOIR THE Yale University Choir sings at eatii Sun- day morning service held in Battell Chapel during the academic year. The membership of 48 singers is restricted to men enrolled in the Uni- versity vi ' ho have had extensive choral experience. The Choir includes students from the Medical, Law, Drama, Graduate, and Music Schools, as well as from the undergraduate body. Approximately 60 anthems are learned during the year, selected from the finest choral literature of all periods. Many of the pieces are especially arranged for the Choir by the Director, Dean Luther Noss, who has held this position since 1939. As one of the events marking the 200th an- niversary of the Church of Christ in Yale Uni- versity, the Choir arranged a special concert for presentation in the spring. The program was designed as a demonstration of the changing forms, styles, and tastes in Battell Chapel choir music from 1757 to the present. Psalm-singing in the IHth-centiiry manner, vsith a tleacon lin- ing t)ut the psalm, opened the concert. Anthems by the late eighteenth century composers Billings and Morgan followed. To conclude the first half of the program the Choir presented numbers by Richard Storrs Willis, a prominent Yale under- graduate in the 1840 ' s. The second half of the anniversary concert was planned to cover the second century, 1858- 1958. Pieces by Chadwick, Parker, and David Stanley Smith were sung, as well as a special group featuring classical music frequently sung today in the chapel. As the closing number of the concert, the Choir gave the first performance of a new work by the distinguished American composer, Norman Dello Joio, especially written for this occasion on a commission from the Bi- centennial Committee. The choral music in Dwight Memorial Chapel was under the direction of Professor H. Frank Bozya, University Organist. Professor Boyzan also presided at the Holtkamp Organ in Battell Chapel for all morning services during the year. 257 T TlirniAs 1()K1 ( I I ' B THI: Sjini Tliuinas Mun- Chunli. uith (lie Rev.

THOMAS MORE CHOIR THE Saint Thoma.s More Choir, a choral or- ganization becoming more renowned eacii year for its fine treatment of sacred music, has had another successful season. Its primary duty, the provision of music for the spiritual functions of the Catholic Chapel of Saint Thomas More at Yale, has been supplemented by a number of concert engagements within the New Haxen Community. The choir, whicii consists of 40 students, sang for the services of High Mass on Sundays and on every Holy Day that fell during the school year. It also assisted at a Requiem Mass on All Souls Day, and for the Stations of the Cross and special services during Lent. Since Holy Week appeared within the University calendar this year, the choir provided the music for the major serv- ices, including the Mass of the Presanctified on Good Friday and tiie Easter Vigil Service, whicii was followed by the Midnight Mass of the Resurrection. Aside from its chapel functions, the choir had a number of concert engagements which included a formal Christmas concert at Saint Aedan ' s Auditorium in Westville and two informal Christmas recitals at Saint Andrev ' s Home for the Aged and Saint Raphael ' s Nurses Home. On Sunday, April 20, the choir gave a joint service at High Mass with the Pius X Choir of Man- hattanville College of the Sacred Heart in Pur- chase, New York. Johannes F. Somary, directing the choir, spirit- ually as well as musically, for his fourth year, demonstrated his ability both in conducting and in choosing religious music. Some of the music sung during the past year included Missa Brevis by Palestrina, a Mass by William Byrd, and selected motets and anthems by Bach, dc Pres, and Somary. Jonathan Hufstader directed the Gregorian singers, while Jerrold Moore and Gerald Busby provided the organ music. Daniel Montague as Secretary and John Bendler as Librarian fulfilled their administrative duties ably. 259 ' ff pl lnp, l l R« o«-. Applrtwum. Sthimmrt. I III I 1 I !

It seeks to promote within the Jewish student on lampus an awareness of liis ;:reat religious and cultural heritage; and further, to brin to the Yale Community as a whole an investigation of both seiular and re- ligious problems. This year saw the return to Hillel. as Dirixtor. one of its oldest and most loyal supporters. Rabbi Maurice L. Zi mond. The incoming Freshmen, intri ed by the l-oundation s Freshman Week activities, hiph- lighted by the mixer, quickly became an integral part of the organization. The Friday evening services were efficiently organized by Howie Needier, assisted by Brian W ' cinstein. Rabbi Stanle) ' Siegel helped conduct the services. Martin F ' eldman. assisted by David Cohen, provided the spark for a ver)- well run Fall Forum Series, the topics of which ranged from Tlie Humanity of Religion to Religion in a Grey Flannel Suit. The high point of the years activities came with the Harvard-Princeton-Yale Colloquium where the topic. Tlie Jcw ' m Modern Amcruan Society — His Culture and Destiny, was dis- cussed; the Colloquium was co-ordinated by Hillel President Stan Rosow.

CHRISTIAN SCIENCE ORGANIZATION THE Christian Science Organization at Yale, now in its thirty-third year on the Yale cam- pus, presents Christian Science to the Yale com- munity and provides a channel through which interested students may learn more about it. The Organization presents a series of lectures each year, holds weekly services, and maintains a room for the quiet study of Christian Science. The Yale group, similar to Christian Science organizations on other college and university cam- puses, is organized under a provision of the Manual of the First Church of Christ, Scientist, in Boston, known to Christian Scientists as the Mother Church. Members of the Organization, who are drawn from the undergraduate body as well as from the graduate and professional schools, take turns in conducting weekly services. Held this year in the Branford College Chapel at seven fifteen o ' clock on Tuesday evenings, these services consisted of readings from the Bible and correlative passages from the Christian Science textbook, Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures ' by Mary Baker Eddy, the singing of hymns and giving of testimonies or remarks on Christian Science. The Study Room of the Organization is Room 3 in Lawrance Hall on the freshman campus. It is provided as a place for prayer and meditation as well as for the consecrated study of the writings of Mary Baker Eddy, the discoverer and founder of Christian Science, and other authorized Chris- tian Science literature. The yearly lectures given by members of tiie Christian Science Board of Lectureship were another valuable means of learning more about the Christian movement. This organization directs its activities not only toward those students who come to Yale as Christian Scientists, but also toward those who have questions about Christian Science and who may desire to use the facilities of the Organization as a means of gaining a clearer understanding of the mission of Christian Science. 261 . i i; oniw, c:i TB INCREASnD emphasis on the outdoors .m.i continued cxpanMun of its traditional activitm characterized tlie I liirty fourth year of the Yale Outing Club. Under the leadership of a group of individualistic executive council members known as the Blueshirts, the club has greatly expanded its activities. It is a rare weekend hen some group is not embarking on a trip some- where in New England. E-all outings to the clubs Goshen, Connecticut, cabin to initiate freshmen into the club included the usual round of trips to sc uare dances at Con- ncctic ut VallcT girl s schools. Fall engine camp saw 80 people brave below-freezing temperatures in an outing held at Old Lyme. Connecticut. Snoski. the winter carnival at Rutland. Ver- mont, attracted 2 SO Intercollegiate Outing Club Association members from the East, and the spring provided the usual engine camp trip. The Club was led by Rik BrcK-nniman.

Most under- graduates have heard APO ' s name, many connect it with one or more activities on the Yale campus, but few know its over-all purpose and program. Despite its quiet existence, Delta Nu Chapter of APO has continued to carry out .in ever- expanding program of service, leadership, and fellowship in this, its eleventh year at Yale. Especii Uy significant have been its membership gains, necessitating a mo e from APO ' s mezza- nine offices to a larger suite in the basement of Hendrie Hall. APO ' s fall pledge class was the largest in the history of the chapter. This class was also the first to plan and carry out its own pledge project, spending a profitable afternoon of labor at the Springside Home for the Aged. Among its most ambitious projects this year, APO ' s newly inaugurated infirmary ambulance service has perhaps received the most attention. l ' ' ree transportation has been provided for over 2 50 students since the service began during the fall flu epidemic. The traditional semi-annual blood drives were again conducted in conjunction with the American Red Cross, netting over 1,500 pints of blood. APO ' s non-profit book exchange handled more than $1300 worth of used text- books at bargain rates for Yale students. The APO-managed bulletin board, of Ridcs-to- Smith and I-Need Tickets fame, has contin- ued to cliannel an overflow traffic. Included in APO ' s many service projects for the New Haven community this year v ere its orphanage parties and its work in local scout units. During October, Yale ' s chapter sent six delegates to the New England Regional Conven- tion of Alpha Phi Omega at the University of Connecticut. Rounding out its varied program, APO has not neglected the convivial tendencies of its membership. Included in its extensive social pro- gram this year v ere Prom and football weekend parties, a Christmas blast, and a stag outing. 263. I l. KK T.ss hi Kl. (,l KS THE Guild of Yale Btll Rinpcrs is a group whici) fc ptiiplc know much about but whicii enters into the hfe of evcr onc on the Yale Campus. The activities of the group center around ten bells weighing 6, ()()() pounds which are hung from a large stcxi structure in Harkness Tower; the largest bell weighs about 14,000 pounds and the smallest 1. 00 pounds. The) ' were made in England and carrj ' the in- scription Eor GcxI, for countr)-, and for Yale around their necks. Tlie bells arc played manu- ally from a clavier three stories below the bells. Handles on the clavier arc conncctc-d by rods, wires and pullies to SOO pound hammers, which strike the inside of the bells. In order to reach the playing clavier one must climb -45 stone steps and from this playing room there is a spiral staircase that winds up for o more steps to the bell platform, which is about half way up the 220 fcxit tower. Inside the yard- thick walls the bcllringer hears nothing but a muffled clang from the bells above him and for this reason he probably knows less of what he plays than anyone else. The bells arc sounded four timc-s daily except Sunday. Tlie various timc-s date back to Yale ' s traditional periods « f the day: H:00 A.M. for Qiapel, 12:00 mxin for Midday. ( 00 P.M. for Vespers, and 10:00 P.M. for Curfew. There are four introductory tunes played at each of these hours. At 8:00 A.M. the hymn tune Chmle Sancloruni is played. At 12:00 noon the changes or peals arc rung along with Largo from Dvoraks Sen l o U Syniphnni. 6:00 P.M. is introduced by Wagners Bell-Motif from Pat- ufal and at looo P.M. a Gregorian Chant is heard. Tlie rc-st of the s ings that are played arc selected from a librar) ' of about HOO pieces Iran scribed especially for the Harkness Bells. The Guild of Yale Bell Ringers is a self perpetuating organization which trains freshmen in the art of bell playing every spring. Two or three freshmen are then elected to the Guild and will ring the bells during their upper class years 264 B.ick R«ir— Bcatty, l.o.u.in. SchocnLm.inn. F:nl R-.ir— Hallu.

The chapter at Yale is one of the 1 1 1 such university branches in the United States. The program of the Yale Chapter this year was built around two major themes: labor-man- agement relations and the executive life. These themes were chosen because they are currently vital topics to the business world and also because of their interest to those students planning to enter management. Labor-management relations, the chosen theme for the fall program, was subdivided into areas concerning the mechanics of negotiating, union security, and the guaranteed annual wage. John T. Beatty, President of the United Specialties Company of Illinois, in the openi ng lecture, stressed the threat of labor, whose demands for constantly higher wages are not being matched by consequent increases in productivity. Speaking on the mechanics of negotiating was Douglas W. Loring, Vice President of the Southern New England Telephone Company, who brought to the members ' attention the many problems of negotiating with an independent union. This same topic from the point of view of a giant corporation was discussed by Harold MacFarland, Director of Personnel Services for General Mo- tors. Union security was the subject of a seminar program led by William T. Neill, Jr., Personnel Manager of the Maxwell House Division of the General Foods Corporation. During the spring term, with the program built around the theme of the life of the execu- tive, emphasis was placed on the business rela- tionships enjoyed by top level management. Professor D. W. Taylor of the Industrial Administration Department, by helping to secure speakers, contributed to a successful year for S.A.M. 265 CorkMII, DllUlik. Al 1 .W lAI K ), ( 1 II) WITH four-yi-ar Air Force viicran Wtxxiy Corkran ' s capable leadership, the Yale Aviation Club completed an unusually successful year. President Corkran had be n last year with the purchase o( a Sessna IK), ciimplc-te with navi- gational equipment for instrument and night flying. Ada| ' table to K)tii beginner and advanced fliglit instruction, the 1-U has proven of extreme value to tile Club. Besides llie frec]uent use of the Cessna IK), members « f the Club have alv btxn able to fly the two Pi|xr Cubs, the Tri-Paccr and the Becxhcraft Bonanza bclongmg to I ' sher Aviation Incorporatc-d. the Club s New Havc-n commercial afliliate. which providc-s hangar space and reduced rental rates to Club members. Of the many excursions. Norm W ' aite ' s North- ern New England scenic tours and Woody Cork- ran ' s ferry scrviie from BriarcUtT U) the Dart- mouth Winter Carnival have been by far the most noteworthy. Nortiiampton, Pouglikeepsie. and Wellc-slc7 airports have been frc-c]ucnt land- ing fieliis for many ' alc aviators. A Long Islanil |x lalo field has even had tlie pleasure of an Hli visit. Al Dillrick s flight to New Haven with a Vassar girl, only thirty minutes after his license had bcxn mailcil to him, proved to be iIjc most romantu flight of the year. Regular flying and instruction have not been the only activities of the Yale Aviation Club this year. At several meetings aviation films were shown, while at other meetings C. A. A. speakers were often heard. There have alv) bc-en negotia- tions for the Club ' s participation in an eastern college Air Show tins spring, featuring, among other things, spot landings and pinpoint flour sack bombing. Although participation has generally been ex- cellent throughout the year, there has been a conspicuous lack of underclassmen in the C lub. The present senior delegation comprises nearly thrc-e-cjuarters of the membership, anti the gap left by graduation will be hard to fill unless a great deal more interest can be stimulated in iIk freshmen, sophomore, anil junior classes. 266 J.

A four or five pa jc Bulletin is jnib lished scNeral times a year. The club supports both a fresh water and a salt water fishing team under the dircilion of Coach Ed Mi dalski. Each spring; the fresh uater proup takes part in a two-day casting and fishing match with six other eastern colleges. Tlic salt water team hxjks forward to participating in the Annual Jntercollcg ate Game Fish Seminar and l- ' ishing Match sponsored by the Bingham Ocean- opraphic Laboratory-. In the last two years the event took place at W ' edgcporf. Nova Scotia, where giant tuna abound. In 19 8. the scm-nar will concentrate on striped bass at C pe C xl Tlic p.irticipatipp schcx)ls will be Harvard. Primeton. Western Ontario, and Yale. There will be three dayi of fishing, and the winning team will Ix awarded the Hulman lrt)phy for one year. The seminar will consist of kxtures on game fishes and, in addtion, th.-re will be instruction by well known anglers. Yale has held the trophy for the last two years. A casting com|x:tition for stuiients within the University is alst) sponsored by the club. The Wendell Anderson Trophy is displayed for one year at the college of the student who wins the event. A small replica of (he bowl is awardtil to the individu al who wins the contest. All interested undergraduate , faculty, and alumni are el g.ble for membership in the Yak- Fishing Club, and all are encouraged to take part in the varied indoor and outdiKir activities. The club is accumulating a supply of tackle which is available for use by all members. In the very- near future, a librar)- of fishing l-xxjks will be compiled and sp«;nsorcd by the club. In addition, a boat and (lutboard motor will be kept at i shore. 268 I H hV v s HI I f|u. ijiflV ' ' ' Hblia m.LA B JlLi iiy A ' BlHiitr l , ' ' ■ ! ■ 1 ' , r . _ ,. , - z:, -:. ' li.r.

LIBERAL RELIGIOUS EELLOWSHIP The brain is iviJer ihiUi the sk . For pill the i Je b) f . f, The o ie the other inll luch Je With ed t. a hl )oi heuile. — Emily Dickinson THE Liberal Religious Fellowship feels that the contributions of every thinking individ- ual are inwiluable in any search for Truth, whether it be the truth of fellowship, the truth of ideals, or the truth i) dynamic personal re- ligion. 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 weekend meetings with Smith and Connecticut Colleges, participated in C.Y.C.C. meetings, and was represented on the Young Adult ' s Council, a congress of leading young people ' s organiza- tions of the country. In addition, the Fellowship and the group from Smith sponsored the Ne - England Liberal Religious Conference. Held at Woolman Hill, near Greenfield, Massachusetts, in the spring, it attracted religious groups from 13 colleges of the Connecticut ' Valley. The activities of most interest to the Yale Community were the two lecture series inquiring into the social, political, and religious concerns of the searching personality. The first series in the fall term related religion to the arts. Gilbert Switzer of the Architecture School, Miss Elizabeth Chase of the Art Department, and Donald Loach of the Music School explored the relation of their respective fields to religion. The themes of the spring term inquired into the question of immortality and dififerent ap- proaches to the afterlife with views by the phil- osopher, the scientist, and the psychologist. 269 ' -S .

K- ■1 •■ ' v, V ' ' ' THE CLASS OF 1961 hy JOHN DORSEV HEINBERG FOR the past tew years, the I ' resiiman Ofihce lias affixed an evaluative phrase to the in- coming group of freshmen. The Class of 1959 was termed tlie brightest, wjiile the Class of i960 earned the appellation of best prepared. This year, however, the Deanery declined to label the Class of 1961, perhaps preferring that it attempt to find its own identity. The struggle to do so, both for the class as a whole and its individual members, is probably the best context in which to view the activities of that unique Yale institution, the Freshman Year. Freshman Week of 1957, like all freshman weeks, came and went in its usual manner, com- bining periods of extreme leisure and hurried frustration. There were photographs to be taken, bursary interviews to be completed, ROTC quali- fications to be met, aptitude and placement tests to be suffered through, faculty advisers to be queried, and most important, roommates to be understood. The neophyte also had his first con- tact with the famous flicks, the tweedy confines of the genial York Street clothiers, the Co-op and its professed policy of more for less ( though it didn ' t seem so when the bills arrived), and finally the elusive and dubious charms of Grace- New Haven, Aggie Maggie, and Hillhouse. Out of all the events which filled this highly unusual time, only four will remain highlighted in the memory of the majority of the class. The first was the so-called little commencement, the Freshman Assembly in Woolsey Hall, featur- ing addresses by Yale ' s President A. Whitney Griswold and history professor Franklin M. Baumer. If the Assembly stressed scholarly val- ues, the Hammonasset Outing the same afternoon maintained the balance which is supposed to turn out the well-rounded man. On the shores of Long Island Sound, the freshmen swam, played football and frisbee, learned cheers and listened to the Bullpups, and generally proved to them- selves and each other that however exacting Yale might be of them, they would still remain good guys. The next day, members of the class of 1961 paid their respects at the President ' s Reception and, between punch and cakes, got what was probably to be their closest look at Yale ' s dis- unwished IcjJcT. Finally, there was die Ma- triiuijtiun Dinner in X ' oulse) ' Hall, featuring spcetlu-i by I ' mlc ' Sid Lt)vctt, Jordon Olivar. and Mayor Ruliard Ltx: mIui welcomcxl ilic .iass on behalf of the City of New Ha cn.

But Frc-shman Week, as many soon Icarne-d. wa.s not the same thing as a regular academic week. TIic freshmen scxm became acquainted with such evils as the Histor)- 10 pop quiz, the long walk from Bingham to the Chem Lab, and Begle s puzzling Math 12 text. Some tasted fail- ure on a tc t nr exam for the first time in their livc-s. and were jarred out of their complacenq-. Others merely modified metluxls learned in prep school and continued to beat the game. Tlic Old Campus surroundings, physical and otherwise, wiiich confrontc-d the freshman were somewhat changed from the preceding year It he lived in Wright, his |ohns and nxmis li.ul been rc-deiorati-il. If he lived in another dorm, even Filthy Farnum, at least Ins flinirs had been rcftnished. If he was one of 60 s|H-iial enginctr- ing students, he was enrollc-d in a s| anking new Carnegie Studic-s program, a bold allcmpi to in- tegrate the liberal arts with tii.hnolog) ' . If he was anybody, he immediately headed up to the g) ' m to corrcit his sagging spine. The thrice wcx-kly exercise se«ions were to continue until the end of the term, replacing the « ld Thanks P cf ttfthmjii ihotlJ hjir — giving-Spring Vacation routine. Dean Wiiitcman stated that the change was designed to ward off winter colds and keep the class from getting out of shape, but many felt that it was designed to reduce the over-cutting problem which had con- stantly plagued the Kiphuth dynasty. There were also changes in the Freshman Of- fice. Dean Harold B. Whiteman was still in con- trol, but Assistant Dean Arleigh D. Richardson had departed. He was replaced by Assistant to the Dean John P. Di.xon. Jack Duggan had left the Reading Program to go with the College Boards and was replaced by Norman Fedde. One additional change instituted by the Freshman Office was the establishment of a morning coffee hour in the Durfee Social Center. Run on the honor system, this institution proved a huge success, especially improving the lot of those unwilling or unable to brave the early morning trek to Commons. September 29 brought the UConn game, and the freshman ' s first taste of a football v eek- end. Yale won the game decisively, to everyone ' s surprise, and it looked as if it might turn out to be a fine fall. One thing missing from the weekend was the monster mixer with several girls ' schools, an event which had been held at Yale the year before, much to the delight of birddogging upperclassmen. This year, the Fresh- man Office evidently felt that the social needs of the class % ould be served better by away games. Accordingly, contests were scheduled at Conn College, Smith, Vassar, Albertus Mag- nus, and Dobbs Ferry. Approximately 125 fresh- men signed up for each, largely out of despera- tion, for, as everyone knows, little is accom- nui not be }ien hiil . iftaiice iiei ' elopeJ r.ipiiily plished at these melees except mass frustration. Still, if most were losers, some did emerge as Vv ' inners out of these peculiarly Darwinian struggles. Amidst the pain of v arning grades, the plague iif Asian fiu (which has been reported as afflict- ing 75 ' r of the class), and the clatter of beer cans on the Wright courtyard, the class gradually bjgan to find its elusive identity. Some, after a careful process of screening, were selected by a committee of counselors to serve on the Fresh- man Activities Committee. Michael A. Samuels was elected Chairman of the Committee; while Howard J. Kasluw was named Secretary, The remaining members were John E. Kenna, John W. ODonnell, George P. Smith, Jr., John C. ■Vesey, Samuel B. Webb, Jr., Michael C. Gregg, Gerrit M. Keator, David W. Hall, Lewis B. Merrifield, III, and Bruce W. McCaul.

As suili, it exerted a great deal of rc-s| «)nsibility, espixially with regard to the MKial attivitirt of the class. The lommittee assisted the Freshnun Othie and Miihael VC ' . Stuhldreher. head (ounselur. in arranging the freshman danci-s on Dartmouth anil Harvard weekends. The Dartmouth dame was held at the New Haven Lawn Club, with 2()() freshmen and their dates darning to the musii of liddie Witt stein and being enterta ned by the singing of the Batthelors and the Spizzw inks ( . ' ) . Commons was cleared of its monolithic tables to provide room for the Harvard dance. Pat Dorn providc-d the music for 600 couples. Singing groups in attendance were the Dukes men. the Law ScIuhjI Over-Sextet, and the Welk-slc Tu|xlos. During the winter term, the F.A.C. s[ insored a mixer at Barnard College in New York. Work on dances by no means exhausted the talents of the Committee Planv were made to expand the facilities of the Dufee Serial Center by taking over the old Political Union quarters. Tlie p(K)l table and ping-jsong table were to be moved intt the newly accjuired r H)m and the old room was to be made more .iltraanc for dates by installing a juke box. Another important job larricJ out by llic F.A.C. was to help the Freshman OHue in de termining what to do with a SlOll.OOO endow ment given the Fre-shman Year by Paul MtH)re. I ' . ' OS. It was decided to assign a faculty member to each fre-shman counselee group, in addition to the one- now assigned to each fre-shman. This professor would wt)rk in lonnevtion with the fre-shman counselor, and would be provided with money with wimh to hold incisional dinner meetings for h s group. These meetings wouUi be of b. lh a social and in intelicvtual nature Although this plan will not take elTcxl until (lie Class of 1962 enters Yale, credit for its imepimn must be g ven the 19 7- 8 F.A.C. A final function of the F.A.C. was to formu late plans for a spring we-ekend. Plans indiiated that this would include a pimii on the ' .lie athletie fields and a jazz comert.

Maintaining its own ottite in the catacombs of Farnum, the Pti ce had come a long way since its beginning three years ago, but it was still plagued by the chronic financial troubles endemic to Yale ' s peripheral publications. For those with musical talent, the I ' reshman Glee Club and Chorus provided a challenging and socially attractive series of concerts. Mainstay of the Glee Club ' s repertoire was Faure ' s Re- qmeiii. After months of practice, the group opened its concert season at Dean Junior College and Chapel Hill School on February 14 and 15. These were followed by engagements during the rest of the year at the Spence School, the Fresh- man Prom Concert, Miss Porter ' s School, the Nightingale-Banford School, the Yale Singing Jamboree, Dwight School, and Chapin School. The Glee Club was directed by Duncan Phyfe, the President v as John H. L. Bingham, and the Manager was Douglas M. Griswold. The Chorus, though not quite as active, never- theless did provide an ample series of concerts, starting with the traditional singing at the Fresh- man Christmas Banquet at Commons. Perform- ances at the Freshman Prom Concert, Jamboree, Rosemary Hall and the Day School rounded out the year, umu iiutf ii man. by e. e. cummings and Pershetti, was the featured number of the Chorus, vihich was directed by L. Gdbert Lcbinger. Rob- ert H. Gordon Jr. was President oi the C horus, while John T. Paoletti managed the group. Nine freshmen with forensic talent were se- lected for the Freshman Debate squad at tryouts held on October 16. Under the direction of Jeremiah Butler, a second year law student, the squad was composed of Captain Hov ard J. Kaslow, Manager Nelson M. Kasiir, Joseph C. Glass, III, Lowell A. Hagan, Elliott C. Licht- man, Roger B. Merrick, William R. Ralls, Mar- vin L. Trachtenberg, and Mark W. Zacher. The debaters won both ends of a home and home contest with Taft on the right-to-work question. In their next encounter, the squad split with Choate in arguing the question Resolved: that the American educational system has failed to prepare its youth for the age of Sputnik. The Harvard-Princeton triangular debate on May 2 concluded the year ' s activities. A unique group, the Freshman Dramat, pro- vided the only opportunity for freshmen to become associated with an upperchiss extracur- ricular activity before second term heeling. Four one-act plays, written and directed by undergrad- uates but staged and acted by freshmen ( except for the female roles ) , were presented on De- cember 14 and 15.

H.inj i oj and Str.iufcr rexeive-d the greatest crit- ical acclaim, with sixxial praise for acting being rcser ' e-d for Pe-ndleton and Geraci. Intramural sports attracted tiic- attention of many more members of the class. Touch fcxitball competition was negligible as the weather, the flu. and apathy ganged up to defeat the grandiose plans of Mr. Harkness and the Intramural Olhce. Hockey, as usual, attracted a more devoted fol lowing, since the freshman team is picked on the basis of ability demonstrated in intramural compc-tition. South was defeated only once in its drive to the championship. Winter brought a program of increased scojx-, .IS members of the class com| eled formally in A ' and B ' basketball, plus swimming, while individual fre-shmen engage-d in boxing and wre-sthng. Paced by Dave Macartney and Jim Barne-s, North rolled to victory in A basket- ball. In the B league. North remaine-d un beaten for most of the season as they gained a seecmd championship for the men of Wright and Durfce. North Middle had little trouble in out swimming their rivals. In addit:on to the above-mentioned strictly freshman aclivities, the class also contribuled many of its members to the ranks of the- Polit;cal I ' nion. the Band. Dwight Hall, .ind the choirs of Batlcll CJiajsel and St. Thomas More CJiurch. With the coming of the se-cond term, heeling occupie-d the time of an even larger number. |-rom the bastions of York Street to the top o ' Hc-ndric. hexlers provided the jsool of man|sower ui in which the intricate Yale publications struc- ture is based. The largest and nitist anticipated single cvcnl . ■. y In kitpiu u ' llh tht Yjit tyjjitio of the year was, of course, the Prom. If the Junior Prom is considered un-shoe by many, the Freshman Prom is almost tiie opposite. It is tiie carrot dangled before the horse that keeps the freshman going through the doom and gloom of exams and New Haven ' s dismal February weather. The Prom Committee this year was composed of: Colin I. Bradford, Jr., C hairman; Norman R. Prouty, Secretary; Bruce M. Ambler, Treasurer; Robert T. Jones, Floor Man.iger; Theodore S. Ledbetter and William G. Bardel, Publicity Managers; Peter E. Dcsjardins and Guy B. Bailey, Food Managers; James C. Stewart and James W. Anthony, III, Ticket Managers; and William P. Chilton and John J. Kickham, Satur- day ' s Activities Managers. Prom Weekend was cold and windy, but the sun was out and it seemed something like spring. 600 beauties descended, like locusts, on New Haven and displaced the unfortunate resi- dents of Bingham and Vanderbilt. They came from Smith and Vassar, Bennett and Bradford, Dobbs and Farmington, and more than one would think, from the high school in the home town. For many, it was their first look at Yale, and the class went all out to pull off a collective snow job. For the first time in several years, the Prom boasted a name band as the promgoers ilanced to the rhythms of Les and Larry Elgart, supplemented by Eddie Wittstein. Despite the crowded confines of Woolsey Hall, everyone en- joyed himself thoroughly, especially during the intermission entertainment provided by the Whiffenpoofs. The Prom was preceded by a buffet dinner at Commons and a Prom Concert at Sprague Hall, featuring the Freshman Glee ( luh. Chorus, and the Baker ' s Dozen. Next day, a few energetic members of the class got up bright and early for a bladderball game on the majestic playing fields of the Old Campus. The afternoon was spent at the ' ale-Harvard freshman swimming meet or at one of the nu- merous room parties, and the p)artying was continued that night at Chi Phi with Wittstein ' s Hammonasset Six, or Chi Psi with the cool sounds of Shire-Fogg. At Sunday ' s end, like the locusts, the girls were gone whence they came. Several dates will forever mark this freshman year as uniL]Lie. One was October 27, a Sunday night that will live in infamy.

Take your date to Commons for a creameil chicken dinner. She ' ll love it! The next date was November 22. the Friday before Harvard weekend, when the Deancr)- halted the deliver) ' of licjuor to students ' nxims. Til s sealed off the last remaining means available for the freshmen to linumvent the everti hten- in re-strictions of the state lie]ui r laws. Still, by some ma K law of comp.nsation. the lie uor purchase-s of lounselors imreasexl by almost ex- actly the same amount as that of fmhrnen drop[xxl, and the laws only vv«irkc-d hardship on a tew marj,;inal purihasers and four unfortunate frequenters of the I:lmo Grill. But the closing of Irwin for 5(i days in January did mark the end of an era. I etember P marke-d the final end of another era. The Council of College Masters announced that the pre-sent system of college allocations vvoul be continued indefinitely. To a Yale which has known nothing but the rcij n of IBM this could hardly come is muili of a surprise, but all hope-s of a free choice of colleges by freshmen v ent out the window. The l-tme issue of January 16 brought ood news. The striving of the F.A.C. and the opin- ion expressed by a I ' ence editorial in an earlier issue had paid otT. as visiting hours in freshme-n rooms were extended until ten on Saturday iuo-hlo(i Ittk ktfomti commonpUtf. nights. Although the grant of privilege was hedged about by a bureaucratic restriction re- i]uiring the fresliman to register his date ' s name with the Campus Police by the prexeding Friday niMin, the action was hailed as a move in tlie right dirextion and refleited an increasing rexog- nition by the Freshman Ofliie of the re-s| nsi- bility and maturity of tlie class. That trust was strained on the bitter coM night of Fc bruar) ' 9 as the fre-shmen staged their first riot of the year, a disturbance termed an unauthorized assembly by Campus Poliie Chief John H. Bowers. Although the dislurbante was 1 1 nhne-d to the Old Campus, consisting mainly of burning pajxr and throwing firecrackers from the windows of Wright Hall and causing no prop- erly damage-, the Fre-shman Office tcxik discip- linar) ' action. On Februar)- II, the Xf M rep.irte-d that twci members of the class had be-en sus |-)t-nded and 19 others placed on s Hial jirobalion as a re-sult of riot activities. In addition, Wright Hall was put on social probation until spring vacation. At the same time, three memKrs of llic class were declared per ntia tir n i iala on the Old Campus for M) days bexause they had dampened tlic cnlliiisi.isni nf some Inwnic cirls 1 1 li hr.il ing I a Wilbur Ooss basketball victory by dousint; them with water. Another indication that the class might not be fully responsible in its actions was the fact that Dean Whiteman sent out a letter stating that penalties would be forthcoming if the coat and tie rule was not more strictly adhered to. Relations between the Freshman Of- fice and the class improved markedly, however, as Wright was given back its social privileges immediately before the Prom, as a result of model behavior during their probationary period. In summing up the activities of the class as a whole, it is necessary to keep in mind the ques- tion posed at the beginning of the fall. What catch-all phrase could symbolize the character of the class? It seems as if the Freshman Office was correct in declining to tag the class. The year saw many strivings toward a fulfillment of the word responsible. The F.A.C. was active and effective, the Prom was success, the Veiice had increased in size and scope, there were over 100 members of the class in the demanding Directed Studies program, and another 60 in the equally challenging Carnegie Studies for engineers. There were counter-currents, however. The riot and tlie failure to adhere to the coat and tie rule were minor examples of sloughing off, but there were more serious evidences. One was the decline of enrollment in the ROTC programs, especially the Army, which sutfered a (lO per cent drop from the year before. Another was the decline of interest in heeling. Counsclee meetings were held prior to the beginning of spring term in which the demands of heeling were played up and the rewards generally played down. Despite this fact, many did heel, but the number was less than the year before. In athletics, the class, despite a great deal of potential, was undistinguished. If this lack of interest in non-academic affairs had been balanced by higher freshman grades, it w iuld not have been so important, but first term grades averaged slightly below a year ago. Perhaps the class was directing its energies into academic lines, bLit if sii, it was not yet apparent. The answer to the question lay in the fLiture. After all, riots are considered a n irmal part of freshman life and the powers that be were having just as much trouble with coats and ties in Davenport and Pierson. As for the grades, it vwis really too soon to tell. The first term is primarily a period of adjustment and a more demanding routine doesn ' t necessarily result in better marks. Only the next three years would tell whether the class had realized that the slacking of effort in some areas required an intensification in others. Only then would it be known if the class had earned the responsible name for which it seemed to be groping. Anihtsl Yjlt ' yiiiiiigesi sUiiJi her oldest. IRISHMAN PROM ( OMMIITI-r lijii R.

The squaJ lieldcd the finest talent seen on a Builpup eleven since the undefeated squads of 195} and 1954. According to coach Gib Hol ate, Tiiis was as pood as any team I have coached in my nine years at Yale. Tiie Y) lettermcn included several all-state hi li schcxil sensations and had more depth, especially in the line, tiian any rcxent frc-sliman team. Dogped by kcT injuric-s, the Blue yearlings were unable to attain their real potential during an erratic campaign. fn the opening contest against Cornell, llie Bullpups livc-d up their high pre-scasjin rating by trampling Cornell, }7-(). at Ithaia. This was the only game of the year when the team was at full strength. Tom Singleton made two 20-yard touchdown passes to lialfback L u Muller and scored twice himself on short runs, while Brian Kenncy accounted for the other score on a plunge. Besides displaying a | werful offensive punch, the line was excecvhngly alert and rugged, recovering six Big Red fumbles in the first half alone. In a sluggish contc-st against Brown, the fresh- men notched their sc-cond triumph. 2 C- . Captain and center Tom Clark blocked a Bruin punl 288 c.irly in the .uiil-, Ic.ulin t; dircxtly to a Yale safety. On the resulting kick-off, the Bullpups scored again on a long drive climaxed by Lee Mallory ' s sneak over guard. In the second half. Singleton ran 70 yards for a score and passed 14 yards to end Mike Murach for the last tally. Accounting for all their scoring in the first half, the Bullpups continued their winning ways by thumping Dartmouth, 19-0. The first two touchdowns were set up by interceptions by tackle Mike Pyle on the 2 5 and Singleton in the 32. In the second period. Singleton passed to end John Hutchinson on the 20, who went the rest of the way for the score. In a meeting of two unbeatens, Yale lost a two-touchdown lead in a discouraging last quar- ter and was tied by Princeton, l-i-l4. The grid- ders scored their only touchdowns in the first half, four plays after the opening kick-off. Single- ton completed a beautiful pass to Jim Stacke, who dodged the Princeton defense on a play that covered 54 yards. Early in the second half, Pyle deflected a Princeton pass which was alertly pounced upon by guard Hardy Will. Despite two penalties, the frosh scored ten plays later. Mid- way through the last stanza, two breaks enabled Princeton to knot the score. Recovering fumbles on the 17 and 2 , the Tigers scored two quick markers. The season concluded with a disappointing 20-13 setback to a fired-up Harvard club. Yale evened up an earlier seven point deficit with a sustained 7()-yard drive paced by Singleton ' s passing and the iiard running of fullback Bob Blanchard. Harvard went ahead again in the final period, but the Elis countered three minutes later. Taking advantage of a break, Blanchard raced up the middle on a draw play. Deflecting a Blue pass, the Yardlings clinched the affair with a late touchdown. Stacke, who was voted the most wiluable player on the team by the New Haven Gridiron Club, halfbacks Wolfe and Muller and linemen Pyle, Ben Balme, Clark, and Will, along with quarterbacks Singleton and Mai lory, head the list of varsity hopefuls for ' 5.S. Both Muller and Wolfe were iiurt for most of the season, but have been compared by many to Denny McGill and Al Ward. Pyle, considered one of Yale ' s finest freshman tackles in recent years, and triple- threat quarterback Singleton, should brighten Jordon Olivar ' s expectations for next year. 39 84 60 B 41 63 48 35 SO 49 69 I KIMIMW loollVMJ.

Ix i. lUil VoIwkJic SOCCER COACH AL WILSONS freshman soccer team sv cpt to its first Big Tlirec title in several years, registering a season record of seven wins, three losses, and a tie. The Bullpups first took the field on September 28, after only one week of practice, and were defeated by Exeter, 4-0. Undaunted by this initial loss, the booters crushed Newtown High School, -i-O, in their next outing. On October 5, goals by Bob Longnecker, Captain John Pearce, Chris Wadley, Phil Meyer, and Al Chasnoff sparked the Bullpups to a - ' ictory over Andover. Th:- booters continued their winning ways with a 3-1 victory over the UConn freshmen. The frosh were hard-pressed to salvage a 3-.i tie with the Bridgeport freshman team in their next encoun- ter. Through the efforts of goalie Andy Block, who made thirty-three saves, the freshmen were able to stave off defeat. Illness, which had constantly plagued the soc- cermen, reached a peak in the Taft School game. Over one-third of the squad was unable to play, and with this advantage, the Taft eleven dropped the booters, 3-1. A week later, the Elis suffered their final defeat of the season, a 2-1 overtime loss to Orange County Community College. The Bullpups rebounded to score a 3-2 overtime vic- tory over Wesleyan. In their next encounter, the frosh plastered Milford, 1 1-0. The Princeton freshmen played host to the Bullpups on November 16, and the visitors sub- dued the Cubs by a 6-4 count. The Elis jumped off to a 2-0 lead in the first cjuarter and were never headed. The junior Cantabs came to New Haven on November 22 to do battle for the Big Three championship. It was a vain trip, however, for the hustling Bullpups overwhelmed the Harvard team in the first half, buildint: up a 3-(i lead on goals by Mike Bradley, Joe Manko, and Paul Byard. The Harvards came back fighting fiercely ' in the second half but the Vale defense held, giving the booters a 3-2 win. Wadley was the high season scorer for the freshmen team vsith eleven goals; Manko and Pearce were the other most consistent scorers. Don McAneny, Meyer, and Steve Anderson were important in maintaining the balance. Jerry Fen- ton, Hab Ladjervardi, Rube Robertson, Pete Adams, and Bryant ToUes provided depth. CROSS COUNTRY UNDER the direction of Coach Bob Giegen- gack, the freshman Cross-Country team ended their season w ith one win and four losses. The season began with a triangular meet with Brown and UConn. The highlight of this meet and the season was the record-breaking run of team captain, William Bachrach, who set a new- record for the three mile course of l ' ):5.S.=J. Although Tom Carroll of Yale finished in the number two position, Yale took a second in this meet. The next contest, a quadrangular meet w ith C ' olumbia, Dartmouth, and Brooklyn Prep, found Yale in last place, with Bachrach and Carroll again the two best BuUpup performers. Yale came back to win over Fordham. Carroll took first place, with Yale ' s Ned Roache, Thomas Cox, and William Legat capturing positions five, six, and seven respectively. The Elis placed second in the Harvard-Prince- ton-Yale triangular meet, which Princeton won, 1-4 ' ). The leading Yale men were Carroll, Bachrach, and Roache. A meet with Cheshire Academv and A (in Old Farms rounded out the season. Yale placed third in this contest. liAbKLlBAI.L THE mediocre rtxorJ of six wins and seven losse-s compiled by tlie freshman basketball team does not atte-st to the individual ability posse-ssed by the members of the squad. How- ever, only at sporadic moments during the season were these individuals capable of working to- etiier as a team and as a re-sult, the season w.in very unimpre-ssive. The campaign opened with a 65-57 loss the L ' Conn fre-shmen. The evening had one con- solation in the disc )ver)- of Roger Plantikow ' s scoring potential. The 6 ' 5 forward score-d l ' |x}ints and continued to pace liie club for the remainder of the season. Four days later the cagers engaged the Uxal Wilbur Cross c uinlct and were beaten by the narrow margin of two points, 12- Id. Tlie closing of the fall scas in saw the fre-shmen suffer tlieir third consecutive defeat to a smix)th, fast breaking Holy Cross sc uad, H6-7K. The game was exceptionally close until the fourth quarter, and for the lirst time the hoopsters exhibited s«ime of their cxpcelcxl po- tential as a team.
