Caduceus Staff Thanks go out to m a n y members of the student body for their helpful contributions of suggestions, material, and pictures. M u c h of the credit is due, moreover, to the constant attention and supervision by Dave Sinclair, the editor, and the faculty advisor, M r . Pearsall.

Ir is hoped that you will enjoy reading your C A D U C E U S both n o w and in future years w h e n you wish to look back on old times and good friends. The Senior class is proud of its book, and hopes that it m a y prove a milestone in St. Luke's history, pointing the w a y to further progress. W e k n o w that this book m a y not be complete, and w e hope that it is not perfect, for that would give the coming Senior classes no room for improvement.

This year's C A D U C E U S is the product of a hard working and slightly bewildered staff. It will be a symbol of the progress that belongs to St. Luke's as it continues to grow.

The problem of assembling a Yearbook is not an easy one, especially since this year's C A D U C E U S IS a pioneer. Since a Yearbook is a Senior book, the majority of the staff are from the Senior class. This staff turned to last year's book and used it as a foundation upon which it could build and expand. The first work was begun in late fall w h e n the staff met to choose the printer and the size and type of book to be produced. N o t until late spring did the final copy find its w a y to the printer and the exhausted Seniors breathe a mighty sigh of relief.

ENIORS

FREDERICK W. LUDWIG, JR. New Canaan Undecided Football 4; Hockey 4; Baseball 4; Dance Committee 4; Dramatic Club 4; Senior Prom Chairman 4.

Fred returned to St. Luke's this year after a four years' absence to complete his secondary schooling. H e is a boy w h o fits into school life and general activities very easily, well liked by his classmates and popular throughout the school. K n o w n for his unique sense of humor, Luddy is usually the center of attraction whenever rhere is a tremendous bursr of laughter from the haughty and sacred Seniors. A n athlete rather than a scholar, Fred has contributed much to the school and will always be fondly remembered.

JOHN M. PAVER New Canaan Colby Football 3, 4; Basketball 3, 4, Captain 3; Baseball 3, 4; Athletic Association 3; C A D U C E U S 3, 4.

Thefirstfew weeks that Jack was here at school two years ago showed us that he was an unusual athlete. The blocks he made as tackles in football and the outstanding play he has shown on the basketball court have made m a n y of his actions legend. Active socially as well as athletically, Jack is also interested in photography and M r . Von's German class. In spite of this latter handicap, however, w e feel that Jack's ability, plus his sociability will bring him success wherever he goes.

PETER P. RIDABOCK Stamford Lajayette Football 4; Hockey, Captain 4; Baseball 4.

Pete started his life at St. Luke's only this year, yet the mark that he has made for himself as a member of the Senior class will leave an indelible impression upon the school. Admired by the younger as well as the older boys, he has proved himself thoroughly capable in football, hockey, and baseball. Pete's social activities are always a source of interesting (we use the word loosely) conversation, it usually being found that along with Speer he knows an astounding number of females.

Being a very dependable person with a magnetic personality, he, we're quite sure, will get whatever he wants.

A N D R E W A. SCHOLTZ Riverside Amherst Football 4; Hockey 4; Basketball 4; Baseball 4; C A D U C E U S 4; Athletic Association 4; Dramatic Club 4.

Ir wasn't long after A n d yfirstappeared at school last fall that his m a n y talents began to be recognized. Football, hockey, mathematics even, held no terrors for him.

K n o w n for his sailing activities outside school, he has within school found numerous other fields in which he is equally adept. O w i n g to the competence he has in handling and solving any and all problems with which he is confronted, he has gained a position of high regard a m o n g everyone in school. G o o d Luck to you, Andy, in the years to come.

DAVID M. SINCLAIR Riverside Amherst Football 2, 3, 4; Basketball 2, 3, 4; Baseball 2, 3, 4; Student Council 2, 3, 4; Athletic Association 3, 4; Sentinel!, Editor 3, 4; CADUCEUS 3, Editor 4; Dance Committee 4, Dramatic Club 4, Honor Roll 1, 2, 3, 4.

It can be said without any doubt that Dave is the top scholar of this year's Senior class. He is a very dependable, allaround fellow w h o is extremely popular with his classmates. Always eagerly participating in all school activities, Dave's abilities and interests were highlighred when he won the St. Luke's Loyalty Cup last year. M a y his success continue in college as it has grown at St. Luke's.

RICHARD A. SPEER Stamford Amherst Football 1, 2, 3, 4; Hockey 4; Basketball 2, 3, Captain 4; Baseball 1, 2, 3, 4; Student Council 2; Athletic Association 3, 4; Dance Committee 3; Sentinel 2, 3, Circulation Manager 4; Dramatic Club 4.

Dick came to St. Luke's six years ago, and ever since has been just as much a part of the school as anyone possibly could be. He has served on more committees and been a member of more varsity teams than any other boy in the class.

Dick's personality and ability will carry him far in his chosenfield,and we sincerely wish him all the happiness he so rightly deserves.

CHARLES C. TAYLOR Norwalk Undecided Football, Manager 4; Baseball, Manager; Public Speaking Prize 3Charlie is one of the select w h o drives a school car and has to listen to and subdue the noisy chattering of its younger inmates. As manager of the football team he did a good job, especially w h e n it came to procuring sideline markers. O n e of the least talkative in the class, he upheld our honor last year by winning the prize speaking contest. N o w he uses his oratorical skill selling calling cards and class rings. Life will be good to Charlie, no matter what he m a y decide to become, salesman or politician.

CLIFFORD C. THOMAS, JR. Westport Princeton Football 1, 2, 3, Captain 4; Hockey 4; Basketball 2, 3, 4; Baseball 1, 2, 3, Captain 4; Student Council 3, Chairman 4; Athletic Association 3, Chairman 4; C A D U CEUS 4, Dramatic Club 4.

Cliff's amiability and modesty are t w o of his most noticeable characteristics. A n outstanding athlete, he has shown m a n y qualities of leadership both on the field and in the school. H e never complains w h e n a job is given to him, but completes it in a quiet and diligent manner. Cliff's honesty and spirit of sportsmanship have left an impression on us all and will carry him through to success, whatever he m a y

do.

WILFRED F. VALLELY, JR. Riverside Amherst Football 4; Hockey 4; Basketball 4; Baseball 4; Athletic Association 4; Dramatic Club 4.

A big smile and a contagious l a u g h â&#x20AC;&#x201D; that's Bud. H e has proved to be an asset not only on the athleticfield,but in the classroom. Although this is Buddy's first year at St. Luke's, he has taken part in most of the extracurricular activities and has shown interest and enthusiasm in all that he has undertaken. Bud's ready sense of humor and his interest in all things scholastic, athletic, or social, will do m u c h to help him through college and later life, whenever the going gets tough.

Class History With the opening of school in the fall of 1942 there appeared as the Freshman class a group of boys of doubtful expectations. W e were a shy bunch, just beginning to feel somewhat importantâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;around the younger boys anyway. Speer was the loudest, owing to the fact that he'd been here for two years already. T h o m a s and Sinclair were the only other members of that class w h o are n o w Seniors. All three had their pictures taken with the football team that year; this being undoubtedly the biggest event of their year. The honor roll was graced by Speer's and Sinclair's names. Those were rhe days before the girls had started looking at Speer. The appearance of Speer at school dances was occasional, but Sinclair and T h o m a s were still deep in their shells and content to be anti-social.

During the Sophomore year none of the present class except those from the previous year were in attendance. Our athletic and administrative abilities were beginning to appear in a purely limited manner.

Sinclair and Speer were elected to Student Council and were still on the honor roll.

T h o m a s was gradually proving ro rhe school that he was truly an excellent athlete. O n the social side a game to improve the mathematical ability of some of the boys was introduced, a popular card game which was rudely discouraged by our upperclassmen. A period of probation was enjoyed by one of the more carefree lads w h o had yet to learn that our Headmaster's word was L a w . In spite of our trials, the class was beginning to show by the end of the year a growing efficiency upon receiving responsibility.

In our Junior year w e began to develop and use most of our resources. With Paver and Taylor added to our numbers w e were represented on every committee and var-

sity. Of course, the caliber of our contributions m a y not have been the highest, but at least our presence was being felt. The excavation seemed to be our main project, but the end of the year found it still unfinished. A brief m o m e n t of generosity among the class produced a loving cup as an award for competition between the Maroons and Grays. At Commencement the Athletic Trophy and Loyalty Cup went to members of the class. W e had a swell year and left for summer vacation with a righteous feeling of great accomplishment.

Last fall as w e gathered in our first English class, it was obvious that this year's Senior class was to be big in both size and number, and boisterous. Vallely, Scholtz, Ridabock, and Ludwig brought the total of the class to nine. With all their varied talents added to any previous ones there might have been, w e were able to place eight men on the football team, six in hockey, five in basketball, and six in baseball. As during the year before every committee functioning in the school had at least two of the class as members. Three boys were seen in the play, "Charley's Aunt," and although there were no offers from Broadway for their talents, they did help to make the play a success.

This year has been one of good times and m a n y laughs, and yet it has not been without its more serious side. W e have all learned much, inside the classroom and out, and w e feel that w e have gained some measure of adult stature. The responsibilities w e k n o w lie ahead of us w h e n w e are graduated m a k e the days w e spent at St. Luke's even more treasured.

With regret w e leave our prep school days and the happy memories of the school w e love so well.

Junior Class The Juniors are looking forward to next year w h e n they will become stately Seniors. The boys w h o will succeed the "glamour boys" are a varied group. Their interests range from jazz to golf. They took an active part in all the goings on around school, placing at least one m e m ber on every team and committee.

Just for the record here is a thumbnail picture of the Juniors. Les Beall is short, loud, and likes jazz. H e is on the Student Council and w o n his letter in football. . .

Dick E y m a n came just after mid-years.

H e is the class sailor and a good student. . .

Bruce Pennybacker is one of the school's best students and pilots the Wilton Express w h e n not playing his trumpet. . .

D o n Mellin finds flying and jazz far better than school. D o n has tramped St. Luke's

[18]

halls for nine years...Roby Harrington hopes to be a writer. H e spends his time talking, playing golf, and serving on committees. H e played varsity center, basketball guard, and third base. . . K i m Prins has artistic signs. H e likes to talk about h o w hard he works, but is usually painting. . .

Oliver Morley gained fame as school organist. H e m a y soon journey back to England. . .Frank Linse doesn't say much, but he is popular and works hard at w h a t he does. . . Bill Hoffman came in time to suffer mid-years. H e likes baseball and hopes to be a chemist. Bob R o w a n is the school's best farmer. H e finds farming easier than school work. Bob studies hard in the problems of Spanish and Algebra. So ends the story of next year's Seniors.

Sophomore Class W e of the Sophomore Class are right in the middle of a transition. Although we've outgrown marbles and tops, our tuxedos still look borrowed. In another year w e m a y be past the crucial point; w e m a y also be Juniors. Let's introduce ourselves: Bruce Bogin, small, not shy, not softspoken. O n e of the best scholars in the class...Jack Carr, our genial socialite.

Enjoys a preeminent standing as a public orator, although his speeches in class fail to impress the teachers. . Johnny Cutler, likes hard work, good pay, but not golddigging girls. . .Charlie Heard, fair haired boy. Loves Biology, especially the smell of formaldehyde. . . Dickey Hertz takes school life seriously and, as a result, is prominent and well-liked by all...Dave Hoyt, famous for his grin and his ability

Bob Levers loves to sit in the shade and sketch people w h o work. . Paul Lundy, tall, red. Loves walking less than joking, so n o w he's subdued... Brown Meggs, quiet, dignified. T w o more years and he'll k n o w everybody. . J i m Savery, robust, usually wrong. Loves to argue, especially about that which he knows the least.

Tony Tabell, writer, character. Translates Caesar with small success.

We're proud of our class. Give us our two years more and we'll show what w e can do.

Freshman Class W e of the Freshman Class have m u c h to be proud of. W e might be a bit eccentric, but all in all we're quite substantial. Our proudest collective possession is our class spirit, really the strongest in the school.

A m o n g our number w e include. .. Allan Billard, a terpsichorean virtuosoâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;which means he really knows h o w to dance. . .

Grade Eight place in St. Luke's grows with each succeeding year. They are an unpredictable bunch, but some are bound to be successes.

Time will tell h o w many.

The Eighth grade gave their talents to the League football, basketball, and baseball teams, and even n o w the Varsity is looking forward ro the time w h e n the Eighth graders will join its ranks.

F e w marking periods go by w h e n w e do nor see one or two members of this class upon the honor roll. W e cannot tell about each member of the class, but w e can say that in general they measure up fully to the standards of the school and have afirmgrasp on that intangible something called the "St. Luke's Spirit."

The Eighth grade is just beginning to gain a place for themselves in the upper school. They are an interested group w h o , for the most part, still find school only a necessary evil. Their hobbies and interests vary from photography to fountain-pen collecting. They have the distinction of having a varsity football player in their midst; probably the only Eighth grade to do that since the early days of St. Luke's.

Eighth graders are also found on the Athletic Association, Student Council, and camera club. O n e of the assistant football managers comes from the budding class of 1950.

As it is plain to see, their prospects for the coming years are brighr. Surely their

Student Council cordance with the n e w voting system worked out last year, giving two representatives to each of the upper classes, with one representative from the eighth grade.

The membership of the school's governing body this year included Cliff Thomas, Roby Harrington, secretary, David Sinclair, Lester Beall, Robert Levers, Dickey Hertz, Brook Vivian, Grosvenor Thomas, and Robert Cutler. M r . Kidd acted as the faculty advisor this year and his judgment on m a n y questions w a s of great help to the council.

N o w that the Student Council has become more representative of the student body as a whole, due to the changes in its organization in the past t w o years, it is expected that the council will continue to grow in authority and influence.

The Student Council continued this year as the administrative body in the school. With the constitution which was drawn up last year as its guide, the council decided on all problems of intraschool activities. T h e council has been given a clear statement of its powers, and under these n e w principles has gone forward and met all problems with n e w vigor and sureness. Under the capable chairmanship of Cliff T h o m a s it has enforced all the rules and regulations of the school and has done a creditable job of maintaining discipline among the boys of the upper and lower schools.

The Student Council has control over all other committees in the school and has received from these committees the fullest cooperation throughout the year.

Members this year were elected in ac-

Athletic Association Enjoying its second year of existence, letic the Athletic Association is truly accomplishing that purpose which it has set out to attain. T h e purpose of this association is to create rules and regulations whereby the athletic activities of the school m a y be governed and carried out, and to encourage good sportsmanship and fair play a m o n g all the srudents participating in the athletic activities in cooperation with the respective coaches and the headmaster.

It is another big step towards the total integration of the school to have the boys themselves working together with the masters, indicative of the complete harm o n y between student and teacher, existing in athletics as well as in the other fields of endeavor. T h e eleven members of the committee have greatly aided the ath-

]

director and coaches in matters concerning the issuance of school letters, the arrangement of schedules for all teams, the appointment of managers for each team, and other necessary duties such as keeping up the maintainance of sports equipment and helping to arrange transportation of the varsity teams. It is hoped that in future years this organizarion shall become even more of an asset to the school than it is n o w .

The chairman of the Association w a s the ever-efficient Cliff Thomas, with secrerary R o b y Harrington and treasurer Dave Sinclair. The other members included Dick Speer, A n d y Scholtz, Brook Vivian, Tony Tabell, Irving Joel, Grosvenor T h o m a s , Stephen Heartt, and Buddy Vallely.

Dance Committee The Christmas and Valentine dances were held in the familiar halls of St. Luke's, and the old scenery, plus the homecoming of m a n y alumni, m a d e both of these affairs great successes. Credit is due, however, not only to the Dance Committee, but also to the delicious punch and pastry produced by Frieda or donated by the parents.

Following last year's precedent, a jukebox w a s used at one dance, while the other dances featured the efforts of well k n o w n local artists. Opinion is still divided as to which produces the most satisfactory music.

From all angles the dances have been well planned and ably executed. Music, decorations, refreshments, and fun have highlighted this year's dances.

The results of the efforts of the Dance Committee this year have proved most enjoyable. The fact that the attendance at all the dances exceeded that of any previous year is indicative of the fine work which the committee has done in providing dancing and entertainment for the student body.

Under the stimulating leadership of Dickey Hertz, the committee boasted more active members than ever before, thus taking off the shoulders of rhe usual few the responsibility of making and carrying out the plans for the dances.

The kindness of the Dahlens in offering their studio barn for the Fall and Spring dances was deeply appreciated by the committee and the school. The advantages of the barn were numerous, and the rustic setting lent considerable atmosphere, especially during the A u t u m n dance.

Sentinel Staff The Sentinel Staff this year has done a superb job in producing an excellent school magazine. Working with approximately the same staff as last year, the boys have succeeded in enlarging and greatly improving the content of the four issues put out during the year. The staff was ably assisted during the first few months of school by M r . Pearsall. Then w h e n M r . Graves returned from the A r m y in late November, he took over his old position as faculty advisor.

A number of n e w ideas have been incorporated into the various issues, including two or three n e w columns. The revival of a series of stories written by the younger boys w a s started under the heading, "Sentinel Cadet," and has proved popular in the lower school especially. The pic-

rorial beauty of the magazine has been enhanced too by a number of humorous "cuts" at the top of the various columns.

Dramatic Club times w h e n even M r . Graves, optimist that he is, despaired of ever presenting his show. The Dramatic Club labors under the disadvantage of having within its m e m bership m a n y boys whose extra-curricular activities are almost limitless. W h a t with having to sandwich rehearsals in between baseball practice and committee meetings, the success of the play is a great tribute to M r . Graves' perseverance and his patience.

Last to be mentioned, but not the least important, is the stage crew w h o this year were able to work in the comparative luxury of rhe T o w n Hall, and w h o aided in the play's success.

With m a n y of this year's cast returning to school next year, the outlook is bright for St. Luke's drama.

The activities of the Dramatic Club had to be abandoned during the war because of transportation difficulties and the absence to the armed forces of Mr. Graves, the director. Therefore, w h e n plans to produce a play again this year were announced, the idea was received with grear enrhusiasm by m a n y of our would-be Thespians. The well-known comedy, "Charley's Aunt," w a s chosen as the play to be given, and the production turned out to be extremely amusing. M r . Graves' expert direction and supervision can be counted as the main factors in the success of the play, although m a n y were surprised by the acting ability of some of the boys.

Tryouts were held even before Christmas. The cast that was chosen spent m a n y long hours rehearsing, and there were

Football This year marks one of the most successful football seasons that the Maroon and Gray have completed in several years.

The strong high-spirited eleven w o n the firstfivegames in their schedule, only to meet a reverse in their final game. The Saints, in piling up a total of 103 points to 22 for the opposition, showed every evidence of the adequate training which they had received from M r . Cibere, their coach.

The loss of the mythical Southern Connecticut championship in theirfinaldefeat was partially equalized by their thrilling victory over their traditional rivals earlier in the season. The boys played together as a team and really deserved every victory that they w o n . They played the brand of football which truly exemplifies the St. Luke's Spirit.

League Football LINEUP

T h e League football team of this past year acquitted itself honorably, and while it did not approximate the achievements of the Varsity, the team proved to be a well coordinated, plucky opponent in its four contests. Those w h o watched the games can testify to the heads-up brand of football that w a s played all season.

T h e surprises that m a k e football the thrilling sport it is were present in abundance. . .White's fine pass interceptions in the first Daycroft game. . Socolow's finger tip catch for a touchdown in the first Bedford fracas. . .Pinchbeck's green pants . . .girl cheerleaders.

All the fellows played an alert, clean brand of football that promises well for the future of the Varsity.

Junior Football "Pearsall's Midgets," as w e at St. Luke's call the Junior football team, had, in terms of games, a short season. T h e team played one game against Eastern Military Academy and the Maroon and Gray came off thefieldwith a 13-0 triumph.

The lack of games did not dull the boys' desire to play football. They were all out at practice faithfully. With M r . Pearsall as coach, the boys were drilled in the fundamentals of football, even learning the T formation with the Notre D a m e shift.

The coaching these boys receive will m a k e them greater assets to the Varsity teams of years to come. In addition to their hours of practice and their one interscholastic game, the junior boys engaged in intramural practice, ending in two M a -

roon-Gray games at the end of the season.

Especially between the younger boys these games are usually hotly contested affairs, and this year's games were no exception. Thefirstgame was w o n by the Maroons on a pass and a touchdown run w h e n no pass receiver could be found. T h e second was w o n by an even more narrow margin w h e n the Maroons on the last play of the game intercepted a pass and ran the length of thefieldfor a touchdown.

Next year, with the gasoline shortage gone, the Junior team will be able to resume its traditional games. It is a tribute to the Juniors that they have continued to practice and play with such spirit w h e n their schedule has had to be cancelled.

Basketball Although unable to play a full league schedule this year, due to mid-year examinations and the need for concentrating on studies during the winter months, this year's Varsity basketball team was able to play a shortened series of games. In rhese they displayed the same fine spirit which characterized the football season and which in part made up for their lack of practice.

For the most part basketball was restricted to intramural contests played between the Maroons and Grays, enabling most of the boys in both upper and lower school to participate in this winter sport.

The boys were divided into three sections according to age and several games were played in each division. T h e season ended

with the annual foul throwing contest sponsored by the Sentinel.

Hockey This year for the first time St. Luke's put a hockey team on the ice to engage in interscholastic competition. It was a hard fighting team that did amazingly well against stiff competition.

The first g a m e against the more practiced Norwalk High ended in an overwhelming defeat, but it inspired the Saints to w o r k harder and come back in the following game to tie Greenwich High. A n easy victory over King School w a s followed by another reverse at the hands of a strong Darien High team, with thefinalg a m e a victory over Brunswick.

T h e team showed excellent spirit both in the games and at practice where it had the added difficulty of maintaining a suitable outdoor rink.

Baseball Although, as the C A D U C E U S goes to press, the baseball season is still in its infancy and the lineup for the team is still in doubt, M r . Mara, rhe coach, seems to feel that the prospects are fair. N o positions are entirely definite, although Cliff Thomas, returning at shortstop and Dick Speer atfirstbase are bound to see action.

Candidates for other positions are: Scholtz and Beall at catch, Buddy T h o m a s and E y m a n at second base, Harrington and Riordan at third base, Hertz, Sinclair, Levers, Socolow, and Prins for the outfield.

The pitching staff as it looks n o w will consist of Hoffman, Ridabock, Vallely, and Ludwig.

The Maroon and Gray nine is playing a full schedule in league competition, and

[38]

w e feel sure the season will be a successful one. W i n or lose, w e k n o w the team will display the same spirit it has always shown in the past, and that every game will be worth watching.
