W e take great pleasure and pride in dedicating this first issue of T H E C A D U C E U S to M r . William K. von Fabrice. a loyal and understanding friend, a scholar, and, above all, a true gentleman.

M r . " V o n , " as he is affectionately called by everyone in school, has served the school faithfully for the past eight years. His responsibilities at St. Luke's are legion, but he carries them out so thoroughly and effectively that his life is a beacon to those of us w h o sail in little boats.

It didn't take long for everyone to appreciate Bill's w o r t h — b i s work on the Sentinel, on the Yearbook, and in his studies. Taking all his work seriously, he is one of the boys in school w h o is very dependable. W h e n it comes to Athletics, he's been out for every team, especially valuable in football on the line.

Larry, the newest m e m b e r of the class, came to St. Luke's during the latter part o!"

January, and has been gaining a name for himself ever since. H e has been an active m e m ber of the varsity basketball and baseball teams, playing third andfirstbase with equal facility.

A charter m e m b e r of the Morpheus club, he lays his greatest claim to fame to his ability to sleep right through the tariff of abominations, economically speaking. In the future Larry expects to put an M . D . after his name, but at present he plans soon to join his classmates in the United States Navy.

As wide-eyed Freshmen meandering through the Lukean halls—even then our qualities began to be recognized. In the Sentinel poll of the year 1942 Vin Sutton was first-placed for having done the most for St. Luke's by virtue of the popular "Victory Song," which he and his sister had written. T h o m a s was mentioned as having the biggest drag with the faculty, while Small and Ireland were a m o n g the "most conscientious." O u r talents were m a n y and varied, but our profound interests leaned to sports. Through lack of serious rivalry for positions, three of us gained places on the football varsity and during the season were reckoned invaluable. W e placed three m e n on the varsity nine, one of them on the mound. Even basketball was given a slight lift by our presence . . . Although Mike Ireland surprised M r .

Pearsall by bringing h o m e Third Prize in the Connecticut State Latin Contest, our Honor Roll talent seemed hidden. Only E d Small managed to register on the Roll in the post mid-year months . . . There was some interest in Dramatics. A s the Play season rolled around, bringing " Y o u Can't Take it with Y o u , " Mike Ireland seemed endowed with

inherent talent for playing Donald, the bewildered

"culled

genman" on relief. Otherwise w e were not excessively social-minded and cared little for dances w e never attended.

Sophomore

year w e must have gone into hibernation, for w e did little that

the proverbial Sophomore is supposed to do. T e d d y Maher had joined our ranks and w e did manage to join in the school activities to some extent. During this year w e placed two on the Student Council, two consecutively on the H o n o r Roll, four prominently in sports, and three on the Sentinel Staff. Gas rationing and the militarization of M r . Graves had cancelled Dramatics. O u r particular failing was still terpsichorean diffidence. W e

avoided school dances as leper colonies.

Junior year w e began to blossom out and take our place as one of the responsible "upper" classes. Football season again found three of us in uniform; w e comprised the majority of the Student Council; the Sentinel could hardly do without us,financiallyat any rate; baseball needed us; and w e were on the Dance Committee, so w e had to start coming to the dances or betray lack of confidence in ourselves.

1 9 4 4 was quite a year for the coming Senior Class.

A s Seniors w e have gained in wisdom and in numbers. T o the original Small, Sutton, Ireland, T h o m a s , Maher aggregation have been added Lockwood, M c M o r r o w , and O'Brien. T h e second term, however, saw us lose poetic T . Maher and Student Council chairman T . T h o m a s to the United States N a v y . . . W i t h six of us on the varsity football team, one being captain, our season proved the most

triumphant

since St. Luke's moved to North Wilton Road. T w o played on the basketball team that was so successful. This year the Sentinel Staff skill was improved by three Senior writers, and startlingly, w e all attended the dances. T h e baseball season has been a success, and we're proud to have had so m u c h a part in it.

We're looking forward to June Sixth, C o m m e n c e m e n t Day. Our immediate reaction will be, " O h joy of deliverance; school's out." That will last perhaps half an hour. T h e realization of not returning next fall will be tough to take. However, leaving, we're loaded with the cultural ideals and training "Uncle Joe" has engendered in us which, should life decide to kick us around a bit, will see us through almost every hazard.

T o the faculty w e are deeply indebted. T o

both upper and lower school

for the amiability and respect they've s h o w n us we'd like to say "Gracias." We'll not forget the campus high on the hilltop.—We tip our hat and b o w out.

Proving their athletic abilities by making up practically the complete basketball team, they also held m a n y positions on the football and baseball varsities. Their talents don't stop here, for every committee in the school had at least one Junior member. T h e class proved their devotion to the school and to intramural athletics by presenting a loving cup, which will be engraved with the name of the winning intramural team each year.

As Seniors next year we're sure the class will continue the works which they have already started and will prove to be a great asset to the school and themselves.

This new group has made great strides in the improvement of Student government, and has set up the foundations for a permanent governing body.

Under the chairmanship of T o m m y

Thomas, the Council began in its

meetings to formulate its new policies regarding the discipline and government of the student body as a whole, and subsidiary organizations.

U p o n the departure of Thomas, Dave Sinclair was elected chairman, and the work of organization was continued. A permanent constitution has been adopted, and the rights and duties of the council clearly defined.

This year's Council has been progressive and constructive, building for the future. They have set up for themselves the tasks of complete government and have vigorously executed their duties in a spirit of complete honesty and justice. U p o n them n o w falls the complete task of intraschool administration.

In addition to Thomas and Sinclair, the membership included Roby Harrington, Secretary, Vincent Sutton, Alan Lockwood, Clifford Thomas, Dickey Hertz, Peter Pelham, Oliver Morley, Brook Vivian, and Mr. Kidd, Advisor.

Started during the basketball season of the present year, the Athletic Association is n o w being recognized as a most essential student committee. Their duties are to govern the regulation of all sports, both Varsity and Intramural, during the school year. This was necessary due to the rising enrollment, since w h e n a school grows larger, the number of boys participating in all athletics grows also.

The regulating of the school athletic program and the formation of Interscholastic and Intramural schedules has up to n o w been the burden of the coaches.

T o meet these n e w demands, the Athletic Association was created by the boys themselves. During the major part of the meetings this year, the Athletic Constitution has been in the making. Series of regulations for the respective sports have been produced as each season progresses, and the athletic program has been widened to include every interested boy.

The chairman was John Paver and the Secretary-Treasurer, Roby Harrington.

Members include Bill M c M o r r o w , Dave Sinclair, Cliff T h o m a s , Dick

3ance Under the able leadership of Vincent Sutton the Dance Committee has been quite successful in producing all the dances given at the school this year. Starting off with the annual Hallowe'en Party and Dance last October, the year's dances reached a n e w high in popularity and attendance. T h e Christmas Dance, with Aaron Burr's orchestra providing the music, was well attended in spite of the usual snow.

When Valentine's Day rolled around, the Dance Committee presented another dance, this one generally acknowledged as the best one of the year up to that time.

Numerous colorful decorations made by the younger boys were used to effect an entirely n e w system of decorating that was most attractive.

The Spring Dance, coming in the latter part of April, was unusually well attended, with more than sixty couples dancing to the music of a "juke box."

Again the decorations and refreshments were outstanding.

A week before Commencement the Senior Class, aided by the Dance Committee, will present the annual formal Senior Prom. G o o d music, attractive decorations, and the usual high standard of refreshments have already been planned.

A great deal of credit and gratitude is due the Dance Committee for making this year so successful both socially and financially. T h e chairman is Vincent Sutton and the Treasurer Dick Hertz. Members include Michael Ireland, Edward Small, Dick Speer. Lester Beall, B o b Levers, Peter M u r p h y , Joe Pinchbeck, and M r , Pearsall, Adviser.

^Jlte Sentinel

^tatt Since its beginning five years ago, the Sentinel has grown from a twelve page

magazine to double its former size and popularity. Under the careful and helpful supervision of M r . Pearsall, this year's Sentinel Staff has continued to bring to the boys and their parents the activities and interests of the school.

The staff this year, composed of veterans from former years, has tried to improve upon the form, if not the size, of the paper. Since it is the school paper. the staff has tried to make it representative of the school. It gave every boy in the school the opportunity and the encouragement to express himself in writing. N e w columns were added to tell about the life of the school. O n e issue was devoted to the lighter and more humorous aspects of school life.

This year the staff has taken on the extra job of helping to produce our first Yearbook. This too has taken extra time and effort which the members have been willing to give.

We are happy to present the boys who have given their time and talents to give to the School the Sentinel, of which w e are all so proud. Bouquets to the Editorial Board and to the Business Board for their financial support.

Unfortunately, the work on the book was not started until late in the school year. Nevertheless the job which has been done by the Staff is to be commended.

In their most successful season of recent years, T h e M a r o o n and Gray varsity football team went through a four game schedule undefeated.

Although the Hilltoppers were plagued by injuries during the entire season, they made up for their physical handicaps by showing wonderful teamwork and spirit. It was unfortunate that gas rations were so strict, else the team would have been able to play m a n y more games. T h e season, however, served to increase our competitive spirit and sportsmanship, and that is the true goal of interscholastic competition.

A

brief review of this year's games finds St. Luke's defeating their old

rivals from King School in a very hard fought game, the outcome being decided by two pass interceptions. T h e second game against Eastern Military Academy, a scoreless deadlock, was marked by the loss of St. Luke's two best running backs. T h e n followed the N e w Canaan game, a sparkling victory from the point of view of the spectator, spotlighted by a kick-off run-back of over one hundred yards. T h e final game of the season saw the varsity defeat a highly favored St. Basil's eleven.

^jrootball During a season filled with rationing restrictions and rained-out games, the League team this year did not make as impressive a showing on the scorebooks as was indicated on thefield.Although the team performed very well in their limited schedule, they were deprived of victory. There will be m u c h talent for the varsity, however, w h e n these boys join the first string squad.

The only two games the team was able to play were against the New Canaan Recreation T e a m . T h e first game ended in a deadlock as the contest see-sawed from one side to the other, neither team being able to put forth any definite offensive push.

T h e second game ended as thefirst,a tie, as the two teams fought each other to a standstill. T h e annual game with Country School, which St. Luke's has yet to lose. was rained out three times and finally cancelled.

The Junior Team, handicapped this year by lack of experience and size, turned in what could hardly be called a successful season as far as scoring was concerned. Playing theirfirsttwo games against older and more experienced opponents. the midgets lacked the scoring punch that could send them across their opposition's goal line. Although they fought gallantly in the final game against Country School, they could not break the jinx that has kept all Maroon and Gray Junior football teams from winning that particular game. It was in this game that they finally began to show the defensive and offensive power that came much too late in the season, but which should augur well for a more successful season next year.

(JSasketball During our 1945 Basketball season the varsity team, playing in six interscholastic contests, displayed excellent skill at team play and was able to come out on top of a four w o n and two lost record. T h e First T e a m , made up of Cliff T h o m a s , Jack Paver, Dick Speer, R o b y Harrington, and Dave Sinclair, was coached by the captain of the team, Jack Paver. Othei members of the varsity squad w h o were of invaluable assistance to the team were Bill M c M o r r o w , Dave Jelliffe, Vincent Sutton, and Larry O'Brien.

Working under the handicup of war restrictions, the team wras still able to meet several near-by opponents and win more than its share of the games. With this year's varsity all returning next year, the outlook is even more promising.

For those boys w h o did not participate in the varsity games, the usual Maroon and Gray intramural games were held in the school gym, resulting in a league victory for the Grays this year. T h e annual free throw contest was also held and attended by more than half the school.

(/SciSebuil Since the beginning of baseball at St. Luke's there has never been a greater quantity of promising material than this Spring. In late March our athletic prowess m a y have been somewhat hidden, but by April coach Mara was able to fashion a workable nine.

Mr. Mara has balanced the positions wisely, having done a good bit of juggling around with the players. T h e infield, including Speer, Paver, C. T h o m a s , O'Brien, and Harrington as a handy man, proved very effective in thefirstt w o games.

T h e outfield, with Hertz, Pelham, Sinclair, and Sutton patrolling the grass, has also worked very well. T h e high point of the team, however, has been the work done by the battery of Ireland and Beall. Against Eastern Military, Ireland turned in a threehitter, and an exciting pitchers' duel with Milford ended in a no-hit, no-run victory for the veteran hurler. T h e rest of the pitching staffâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;Cliff T h o m a s and Pete Pelham â&#x20AC;&#x201D; w e r e also of great value to the team during the season.
