y)edical/en It was with a deep sense of gratitude that the Class of 1955 chose Dr. Joseph R. Kidd as the recipient of this dedication — a gratitude for his having imparted to us not only a portion of his vast knowledge but also his wisdom and friendship. T o us he has been the m a n w e looked to for guidance, correctness, and approval. W h e n w e shall have left the hallowed halls of St. Luke's, w e will be proud to look back and say that he was a friend. It is, therefore, with the gteatest of pleasure that w e dedicate the 1955 C A D U C E U S to our beloved Dr. Kidd.

Kingfirsttrudged up the hill in his junior year, leaving his first love in the parking l o t â&#x20AC;&#x201D;his antique auto; however, the break was never completed, fot he could be seen at any time wandering d o w n to the lot either to inspect his vehicle or see that it hadn't been sold as rummage. During these two years w e have seen not a change in the subjects of King's informal conversations, but w e have noticed with a great deal of pleasure the crowds he is able to draw with his technical tetms. His gteased-stained khakis have become a tradition at St. Luke's. His athletic cateer came into being w h e n he became varsity catcher last yeat when, m u c h to his sutprise but no one else's, he hit vety well. Wherever King m a y go, and whatever he m a y do, if he exhibits the same sott of personality, his path will be a bright one.

Hal joined the fold of the class in '55 a little before mid-terms in his junior year and immediately gained the great populatity that he enjoys today. His personality and all-around ability led him to a seat on the Srudent Council and the position of captain of the Gray team. Hal's keen sense of humor has found its m e d i u m on the Sentinel, in which his monthly satire on life and athletics on and about the Hilltop can be found and is deeply appreciated by all. His athletic ability was brought out on the gridiron on which he played an admirable regular halfback. Hal's classroom days have been marked by his amazing knowledge of mechanics and physics, and if his many acts at St. Luke's have been an indication of his furure, w e k n o w that w e will be hearing great things of him, and w e will remember him for all he was and is.

Dickfirstshowed his face on the Hilltop in eighth grade, and since then he has come a long way, in height, in athletics, and in his studies. His mental attributes are many, and he has never ceased to amaze his classmates with his vast vocabulary. His "political cateer" at St. Luke's was culminated as he was elected Secretary of the Student Council. Dick's imagination served to "put over" many a successful dance, and his writing ability was recognized by all when reading the Sentinel or Caduceus. His outstanding athletic ability showed in two sports, and in recognition of hisfinesportsmanship he was named captain of the Maroons. By tuning into W N L K it is probable that you will hear Dick keeping u p a successful line of patter, and whethet it be on the radio or in some otherfield,he will be on rhe top.

TIMOTHY B. ELAND Stamford Football 4.

T i m has for the past four years, as someone aptly put it, added a fresh touch of merry England to our school life. O n e of the more quiet and composed members of our class, he is k n o w n for the admirable quality of taking things as they c o m e â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a n d succeeding.

Although he is possessed of a jovial disposition, T i m is an assiduous srudent and attacks his studies with a spirit stubborn until the subject is mastered no matter what amount of questions add u p until his goal is reached. It was not k n o w n that T i m was interested in sports until his senior year w h e n he was seen walking to the football field with the few other healthy specimens. Since evetything that he has undertaken has been done well, w e are all sure that his carefree manner combined with a sincerity of purpose will keep him successful in the future.

MICHAEL F. FLAHERTY Stamford Class Treasurer 4; Football 4; Basketball 2, 3, 4; Baseball 3, 4.

Since Mike's beaming smile and infectious laughfirstgraced the halls of St. Luke's, he has rarely been seen in them, for he and the basketball court developed a strong affection for each other. The result was a basketball star on the varsityfiveand a boy whose sincere friendliness and keen sense of sportsmanship and fair play have w o n him the comradeship of the student body and the exchequer of the class. His responsibilities are centered around piloting a school car, getting out the basketballs for play at all times, and seeing that everyone is supplied with enough btead and butter at noon-time. Mike has participated in all three major sports at the Hilltop, but it is for his prowess in basketball that w e will remember him. M i k e will go on to m u c h greater things, making them look as easy as tossing a ball through a hoop.

ROBERT C. FOGLE Darien Athletic Committee 2, 3; Caduceus 4; Sentinel 4; Senior Prom Committee 4; Football 2, 3, 4; Baseball 3, 4.

W i t h easel and brush in hand B o b has painted his way through four years on the Hilltop. A keen and biting sense of humor and a distinct talent in the art of drawing are his personal attributes. H e is also possessed of an athletic ability on the gridiron and baseball diamond, but these talents are greatly overshadowed by Bob's desire to win and do his best. H e sparked the team at quarterback and could be seen at third base with his amazing glove work and titeless rooting the pitcher on to victory. Bob's art work led him to the art editorship of the Caduceus and a position on the Senior P r o m Committee on which hisflairfor designing will show to the fullest his genius. Bob will go far with his wit and personality, and w e are confidenr that his future will be a sparkling oneâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;gaily ornamented with watercolors.

JAY L. FRANKEL Stamford

Amidst a crowd outside or around the table in the dining room, Jay can easily be found expounding the attributes of a Cadillac or telling a story. Jay's scintillating wit and his sharp intelligence combine to make any tale well told, and his "poker face", ever present during oral themes, adds to his talent. Jay's mental ability ranks him high in the class, and since his arrival w e have watched his steady improvement in all subjects, until he mastered almost everything in sightâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;even a Cadillac engine! His debates with the faculty as well as his beaming smile will be remembered by m a n y and sorely missed. Whether it be in the business world which seems to be of interest to him or on a speaker's rostrum, w e are sure that Jay will be a super-salesman or an after-dinner speaker of thefitstnote.

WILLIAM M. LEHMBERG Riverside Caduceus 4; Sentinel 3, 4; Baseball 3, 4

A c e spotts reporter, a m a n quick with the adjectives, and a valiant defender of his home-town of Riverside, BUI sees the world through a pair of cherubic eyes. Bill's participation in any argument about all of his classes with one or more of his classmates has set him apart as a talented debater and a keen source of retorts. His baseball ability was realized in his junior year w h e n he hit so consecutively in the pre-season ttaining that he was assured a spot if not on the starting line-up, then on the squad. His outstanding reporting of the St. Luke's sporting events led to his recognition as sports editor of the Sentinel in his senior year. W e are truly confident that Bill will easily handle all coming problems with the same innocent smile and strong determination thus far exhibited.

EDGAR A. PETERSON Westport Athletic Committee 4; Football 3, 4; Basketball 3, Captain 4.

Tall, thin, easy-going, and all-around are but a few adjectives that describe Pete.

His talent in athletics has found meaning as star end on the football team and top-notch forward on the varsityfive.A s a feature writer for the Sentinel, his articles ranged from humorous to factual. Through two years of m e m o r y passages he has glided without injury, one of his amazing but never-sure atttibutes being the outwitting of the faculty. Pete has evinced aflairfor oral speaking, and his direct method of approach has placed him as one of the expetts on oral themes. Petefindsa certain fascination in the m e d i u m of television, and w e foretell a fututefilledwith success and many commercials. Whether it be as a director-producer of Studio O n e or some otherfield,Pete will surely be heard from.

JEROME A. RUBEL Westport Athletic Committee 4; Senior Prom C o m mittee 4; Caduceus 4; Football 3, 4; Basketball Manager 3,4; Baseball Manager 4.

Jerry is the veteran of the class, having first made his appearance in thefifthgrade.

His crop of red hair can be seen almost anywhere around the school where one will find him assisting his classmates in any particular difficult physics problem. Possessed of an extraordinarily amazing mechanical mind, Jerry has taken the afotementioned cou.se in stride—by no means a simple feat. However, it is his willingness to help others, his greatest attribute, which outshines all others. N o task is too hard, if it be in his duty as basketball manager, as guard on the gridiron, or as an all-around good guy. M u c h can be said of his capabilities in assuring him of a brilliant future, but w e feel that a person's talents are not enough. His charitable goodness will m a k e him a good man.

Probably the best-dressed m e m b e r of our class, Pete has a glib tongue as "sharp" as his choice of clothes. Never at a loss for words, his retorts to both faculty and students have become a St. Luke's tradition. It might be said that Pete's good-natutedness in tight moments matches his personality exactly, for he is always ready to help anyone in need.

H e is thefirstto contribute to any organization, thefirstto help anyone in need, the first to be there w h e n wanted. W e think of him as a fine ballplayet, as a daring and graceful baserunner, as a sharp and decisive hitter w h o was always at his best in the tightest m o ments, as a bold and instinctivefielderw h o didn't k n o w what it meant to give up on a ball, and w e think of him as an equally fine basketball player.

Outstanding athletic ability and enthusiastic leadership on the Hilltop are two of Bob's attributes. His store of ideas led to his recognition as editor of the Caduceus, and his natutal ability brought him the chairmanship of the Student Council as well as his election as captain of the football team. Bob's participation in all thtee spotts for four years has been a keen source of admiration by all, and it might be said that his scholastic achievement is on the same par as his athletics. His spirit will setve as a guiding light foi others to match his incredible knack for digging a little deeper and comng up with a little more in the clutch. Whether it be on Wall Street or in Yankee Stadium, w e know that Bob will continue in great fashion, and w e will be proud to say that w e knew him when. . . .

Bill joined us in his junior year, and it was imediately apparent that the St. Luke's spirit had caught and held him. Bill became a class officer, a hard-working m e m b e r of almost every committee in school, a fine participant in sports, but most of all a person on w h o m everyone could rely. H e was the very symbol of flaming spirit on the gridiron and the basketball court, the m a n w h o couldn't be beaten because he wouldn't be beaten, the m a n w h o burned with the strongest of desires to win. Ranking with the best in the class in scholarship, Bill received a great deal of satisfaction ftom working a problem correctly and well. W e can see Bill as a lawyer in a few years, evoking the same admitable spirit in winning a case, and in the future w e wish Bill all the luck and affection that he so strongly deserves.

ALAN M. STARK Sta?nford Sentinel 3, 4; Football 2, 3, 4.

Alan m a d e his appearance at St. Luke's in his fteshman year, and it is with a great deal of enjoyment that the students and faculty alike have noticed his tremendous gains in mathematics. H e has excelled continuously in all phases of math and can be described as a pride to both his algebta and geometry teachers. O n e of the more composed members of the class, it is nonetheless the observation of m a n y that his quietness is only overshadowed by his modesty. Alan has developed a fine technique of wtiting undet the careful eye of Dr. Kidd and has shown this ability in his various baseball reporting tasks for the Sentinel.

His stay at the Hilltop has been marked by his verbal exchanges with Mr. Skully from which he has often left victorious, and for these reasons w e feel that Alan is prepared for any impending success.

Aflairfor art and a vivid imagination have combined superbly to turn out a brilliant cartoonist. R o b has supplied enjoyment for his classmates ever since he enteted St. Luke's in seventh grade. H e has served the Sentinel as one of the best feature writers in years and has made an equally fine record as a class officer over the past few years. Robin has taken time from his disc jockey show on W N L K to excel in his studiesâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;principally in English, in which his themes are paragons of detail. Rob's political cartoons have gained the acclaim of one and all, and w e can see him as a syndicated cartoonist or a coast-to-coast M.C. in a few years. WhatevetfieldRobin chooses to enter, w e k n o w that he will be a "smash" success, for with his keen talent and likable personality combined, R o b is sute to m a k e a hit.

EDWARD F. WAGNER Darien Football 3, 4: Athletic Committee 4.

A veteran of six years on the Hilltop as well as many a debate with the faculty, Ted has always been an easy-going individual, ptepared to take things in his stride, and, most of all, see the bright side of every puzzle, whether it be on the gtidiron or in one of his classes. A gaze into the crystal ball sees Ted as a promising engineer, making great gains with his ingratiating grin and infectious laugh. Ted is always in the middle of any group, surrounded by a host of friends, either discussing his last class or the complications of an engine. Ted has been seen at almost every school function, squiring one of the local lovelies.

T h e b o w on his tie changed to a Windsor, but w e pray that his cheerfulness and smile will remain, to bring him success in any venture that he m a y undertake.

Mike will long be remembered by those remaining here on the Hilltop after his graduation, but these memoties could not help but be overshadowed by the admiration and affection which we, his classmates, hold for him. From the veryfirstday that he set foot in these hallowed halls it could easily be seen that here was a boy w h o could go far in every respect. This was soon proven, for in his freshman year Mike was elected class president, an office which he has never since relinquished. But Mike's leadership ability was only one of many fine traits: he has served outstandingly as Sentinel editor; he has long been recognized as the top scholar in the class; and, characterizing Mike perfectly, his services to the football team as manager demonsttated to all what a friend could really be like.

Class flisktoj W e , the class of '55, leave the Hilltop not without misgivings. It is true, of course, that the-years to come will befilledwith many memorable events, but it is doubtful that many of these could ovetshadow the great store of remembrances emanating from our years here at St. Luke's. U p o n our departure, though, w e do not wish to say simply, "exeunt the class of 1955". At the beginning of every school year our learned headmaster has always stressed the fact that with a boy's graduation a vacancy must be leftâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;not a vacancy to be filled easily by another senior in a following year, but a vacancy that cannot be stepped into at all. This is the way it must be, or our years here on the hill could not truthfully be deemed a success. Each m e m b e r of the class of '55 sincerely hopes that he has achieved this goal in his o w n peculiat way; peculiar not because it is strange or odd, but because it is distinguished in nature from all others.

But n o w let's bring out the scrap book and take a nostalgic look into the past.

W i t h the end of summer in 1951 a n e w light dawned upon the N e w Canaan hills, A new fteshman class had arrived. Dawson, Zales, Sunde, Wagner, and last, but certainly not least, Rubel, all having spent at least one year as vetetans were joined by Salomon, Eland, Flaherty, Salmon, Statk, Fogle, and last, and at that time very definitely the least, Lehmberg, referred to in the C A D U C E U S of that year as "smaller and more angelic than most." Salomon had hatdly set foot inside our hallowed halls before he was drafted by a cigat-smoking coach to begin a long athletic career. The rest of the year was filled with Mr. Skully's constant reminder that w e were n o w college candidates, eraserfightsthat will long be remembered, and our passing of French I. Sophomore year brought with it a somewhat greater realization that this college business was a serious affair, but darkness and gloom did not fall until aftet the fury of mid-years. By that time the football season had already been put in the pages of the season's past, and Rubel, Salomon, Fogle, and Dawson had stowed away their helmets until the next season. In case your m e m o ry fails you, this was the year that both a referee and a King player were injured by a shotgun blast duting the traditional game and the trigger-happy perpetrator of the dastardly deed was never apprehended.

In the spring a young man's fancy is supposed to turn lightly to thoughts of love, but this particular spring hit the class en masse. A sophomore dance was planned, thefirstin the school's history, and it was a tremendous success despite the gloomy prophesies of upperclassmen. In other activities around the school Zales and Dawson were representatives on the Student Council, while Sunde proved his creative writing ability on "The Sentinel". Other members of the class were following the patterns they had set the previous year with few variations. Flaherty was still enthused ovet "rods", but outdoor basketball held a special attraction for him. Zales was more scholarly than ever. Fogle's art talent had manifested itself in the outstanding dance decorations. Lehmberg had changed noticeably from his more angelic status to that of an easy-going, wellinformed individual. Sports, baseball by now, were represented by many of the class; and England was still represented by Eland. It was in this pattern that the year ended.

W i t h the following fall came football againâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;football as played by Salomon, Rubel, Wagner, Fogle, D a w -

son, and Petetson. This was the junior year, and the class was coming into its own, as could be witnessed by the ftequent encounters with the seniors of that year. These might have been prompted by the fact that w e enjoyed a sizable advantage in brawn, and the outcome was seldom in doubt. W e had also grown to the monumental numbet of sixteen by the addition of Birdsall, Peterson, Frankel, and Sherman at the outset of the year, only to be increased further by the welcome arrival of Hal Bloch w h o timed his arrival perfectly.

Not only did he enter in time to get trapped by Mr. Pearsall's history reports, but he was also obliged to take mid-years which he had just completed in his former school.

Mr. Skully's efforts to instill in us the diligence necessary to insure college acceptance gradually affected our attitudes, and Zales, Dawson, and Salomon were numbered among the honot roll, with Zales still taking the lead in this department. T h e same three were also active in "Sentinel" wotk that year, along with Sunde and Lehmberg. W h e n it came time for basketball the juniors were well represented by Flaherty, Petetson, Salmon, Salomon, and Rubel as manager.

Spring arrived and brought with it a touch of N e w Yorkâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;Manhattan in the form of another highly successful dance, again with Fogle and Sunde directing the art work. Spring also brought baseball and almost a mass participation by the junior class. However, all this fun and no work was not destined to last, for the season swept by, andfinalspresented the last hurdle before summer began.

Our senior year wasfinallyupon us, and w e lived it completely. The class sent a complete team to dominate the football squad and also provided a manager. Athletic prowess was not enough, so Zales and Salomon again hit the honor roll, and Birdsall helped Mr. Skully decide h o w to sink a piece of wood in Physics by ventuting to shoot it full of holes. A s a reward he was given an interesting thesis to prepare on, "The Value of Trust Funds".

Christmas came and went, and with its departure and the tenewal of school there seemed to be a Floridian cast to the leatned seventeen. Basketball went into full swing, and Salomon, Sherman, Flaherty, Salmon, and Peterson proved theit worth on the court, managed

by Jerry Rubel, veteran of two years with the score book. The year was drawing to a close, and as w e n o w finished Shakespeare and the law of diminishing returns, w e arrived ar the point when commencement and thefinaldance of our career on the Hilltop, the Senior Prom, were the most important events under the item of unfinished business. This also meant that within six months w e would be freshmen all over again at the different colleges to which we, n o w the illustrious seventeen, had been accepted.

N o w as w e come to the end of our four years of preparatory school, w e perhaps give them too little thought, for w e are too intent upon the futute to be bothered with the past. Someday, trite as it m a y seem, w e will look back on these four years as the best of our lives. In our stay, through our learning here ar St. Luke's w e have gradually been prepared ro step into a n e w place in our lives, and n o w w e can take that step with confidence that w e have been well guided. For this w e say, "Thank you, St. Luke's, for all that you have done to contribute to the long process of our maturing."

Junte/1 CI& ass Well, well, look w h o are going to be seniors in a few months. Just so that you can get used to us w e will introduce ourselves, so don't be shy, come on in.

Let's see: here's Tony Belmont, a fellow w h o gets things done; Dirk Brouwer, famous for his long "sets" in basketball; the Button twins, w h o are the young lads arguing over there in the corner behind the "hot rod" magazines; R o b Clark, a wide smile of approval on his face in contrast to T o m m y Clarke, w h o likes to sneer at things in genetal; Keith Davis, a quiet individual; btisk, capable Dave Ftankel; Frank H a m m o n d (You'd trust your o w n sister with him, unless you have a sister); Roger Killion, a hockey player of some note; Bob M c Cracken, a joy to any "bull" session; the affable Pinchbeck twins, w h o add a rural touch to our class, Phil Puschel, a quiet young m a n from Riverside (there's a switch); and John Rawls, w h o will undoubtedly be a great asset to next year's basketball team. From there w e go on to Blair Rubel, w h o does the wotrying for the whole class, and Ed Smith to w h o m you couldn't think 34

of a nicer guy to pay your class dues; Everett (Butch) Smithâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;you'll laugh before he opens his mouth, and Terry Smith, that sophisticated looking gentleman standing over thete with a cigarette dangling from the corner of his mouth. Then, of course, there's old "Clint" Studwell, lately reformed; Larry Toolin, famous for his lengthy explanations in geometry class; John Titus, w h o will make your listen to it even if you have heard that one befote; andfinallyJohn White, another of the class athletes.

Well, there w e are; as you can see, w e are a diversified class, and w e should certainly leave our mark in the St. Luke's sands of time. This year with the successful undertaking of the Junior P r o m w e should be capable of any of the tasks that face us in our senior year. In closing w e would like to wish the best of luck to the class of '55, with the hope that w e will be able to follow thefineexample they set during the past year.

Sefihemetie C ^ A s we, the members of this year's sophomore class look toward the future, w e realize that thefirsryear has brought a sudden increase in the number and importance of our responsibilities. N o t only was the class well represented on the Student Council, the Sentinel, and the Athletic Committee, but itsfirstattempt to put on a school dance, "The Harvest M o o n Dance", was a great success. A m o n g our classmen are found a variety of personalities which include the following: Bill Biers, class-famous photographer and world traveler is trying to ger Dr. Kidd to start a class on Greek; John Byers, Class President, w h o is continually filled with memories of Bermuda's sunshine and of a certain person he met d o w n there; Bukk Carleton, one of the newer and smarter members of our class; Jack Corridon, genial and popular with all; Gaston de Beam, famed for his wavy hair and being a French Count; Ed Giles, another n e w m e m b e r of our class for w h o m it is said'can outblush a blushing beet; Peter Hansen,

35

Class "Veep", w h o through his o w n printing business is sure to make hisfirstmillion before he's eighteen; Danny Katz, representative of out class to the Student Council, Bucky Margold, the "John Paul Jones" of our class; Barry Montgomery, is the "crazy-cool-cat" type w h o "digs that real gone jive"; Jeremy Murphy, the yearly nominee for class "God's Gift T o W o m e n " ; Marc Pelanne, an athlete and loyal m e m b e r of the Athletic Committee; Pierre Pelanne, a representative to both the Student Council and the Athletic Committee; Eric Rowlison, he had a small disagreement with his horse and didn't fare too well (he had to have 14 stitches); and Joe Shinnick, w h o it seems spent most of his time bailing out his house after rainstorms.

W e n o w feel fully capable to meet any responsibilities or obstacles which m a y come before us in our next and most important two years at St. Luke's. This year's sophomore class all joins in wishing the class of '55 a very happy and successful life in the years to come.

Siudenf Council sophomores conttibuted Pierre Pelanne, having a year's service under his belt, and Danny Katz, making his inaugural appearance. From the freshman class came Mike Clark as its lone representative, and rounding out the Council was Bruce Baggaley, afinerepresentative of the eighth grade.

The Council did a remarkable job in its various activitiesâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;keeping study halls orderly, curbing the delinquent students, and most of all sponsoring a most successful Student Council Christmas Dance, which will rank as one of the most enjoyable and well-attended dances the school has ever witnessed.

At this time m a n y thanks must be rendered to this governing body, for the Student Council, performing its necessary functions in the school, has m a d e its presence felt and appreciated by all w h o were connected with it.

From the very outset of the school year it could be seen that the Student Council, 1955 version, was a promising and well knit group. Under thefinechaitmanship of B o b Salomon the group proceeded very rapidly to gain the respect of the student body. Bob, experiencing hisfirstyeat on the Council, stepped into the role without faltering and continued to lead the Student Council very ably through the year. It m a y ttuthfully be said rhat the very composition of this body helped put it in the place of high esteem which it enjoyed at the end of the year. Accompanying B o b from the senior class were Dick Dawson, a vetetan of three years and Secretary of the Council, along with Hal Bloch, an able and welcome newcomer. The juniors were impressively represented by Blair Rubel, another veteran with years' previous experience, and Roger Killion, a recent addition of high capabilities. T h e

Senlinel This year's "St. Luke's Sentinel" easily maintained the reputation which our school's paper has established in previous years, that of an exceptionally fine up-todate school newspaper. A r m e d with his long experience with "The Sentinel" and his well-known literary talents, and aided and abetted by the largest staff in St. Luke's history (27), it is small wonder that Michael Zales has done such a good job as editor. T o m m y Clarke worked as assistant editor; B o b Salomon utilized his executive abilities as managing editor; Bill Lehmberg headed the fast-moving and detailed coverage of sports; Bill Sherman was our paper's amusing feature editor; and the clear and galvanic camera shots necessary in any good newspaper were taken by Peter Salmon. John Byers told us what the alumni were u p to, and Hal Bloch, Ed Smith, Dick Dawson, Blair Rubel, Robin Sunde, Jon Titus, and Dave Frankel kept us

43

aware of the various happenings that occurred near and around the school in their informative and sometimes humotous fearure articles.

W i t h two extras, one at the beginning of the year to give the n e w boys an idea of what to expect at school and another at Chtistmas time to express the paper's holiday spirit, "The Sentinel" proved its ability in putting out short, concise issues. It should also be mentioned that B o b Fogle's drawings were a rremendous asser to the appearance of the paper.

Space does not permit T H E C A D U C E U S to congratulate each m e m b e t of the staff for his outstanding performance this year; however, w e would like to say that m u c h credit should be given to the paper's faculty advisor, Mr. Graves, whose intelligent advice and supervision have proved extremely important to the smooth functioning of "The Sentinel".

(jddu uceus W e of the class of 1955 are proud to ptesent to you this year's edition of the Caduceus. From year to year various changes take place in the yearbook, and all the members of the Caduceus board hope that these changes and alterations are for the better. A s you have most likely noticed, this year's book contains colorâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;a first in publications here at the Hilltop. Also, thanks to the Att Editor, B o b Fogle, and his associate, Robin Sunde, the custom of including chatacter sketches of the seniors has been resumed.

It has only been through the untiring efforts of the editorial board, consisting of Robert Salomon, Jr., Michael Zales, and Richard Dawson, and the tedious work in soliciting advettisements by the business board of Jerome Rubel and William Sherman that this yeat's Caduceus has been made possible. It should also be mentioned that the majotity of the pictutes were taken by

44

Photography Editor, Peter Salmon. M u c h credit should be given to thefineleadership displayed by Editot B o b Salomon, w h o played a vital role in the editing of the yeatbook. O u t sincere appreciation goes to M r . Pearsall, faculty advisor, whose continuous and unrelenting help, patience, and assistance have m a d e this difficult task immeasurably easier.

The 1955 C A D U C E U S is a yearbook that the Senior Class is extremely proud of, and w e hope that you will enjoy it. If after several years you can open this edition and page thtough it with fond and pleasant thoughts returning to St. Luke's, our efforts in producing the Caduceus will have been more than amply rewarded, for as w e leave the Hilltop for the last time, w e truly hope that in our Caduceus w e have provided a suitable way of returning to the many wonderful and fond memories connected with St. Luke's.

JMUc Committee Robert Salomon, Jr., William Sherman, Jerome Rubel, Ted Wagner, juniors Jay Pinchbeck, John White, Blair Rubel, Roger Killion, Ev. Smith, Ed Smith, and sophomores Peter Hanson, Jeremy Murphy, Mark Pelanne, and Pierre Pelanne.

Undoubtedly the most commendable service which the Athletic Committee performed this recent year was the difficult and thankless job of refereeing all of the inttamuial games. Regardless of being either Maroon or Gray, the membets of the committee managed to officiate these contests more than fairly.

Perhaps special recognition should be given to Chairman Michael Zales without whose prodigious and untiring efforts the committee would not have been so successful. The entire Athletic Committee should be commended on its splendid job and the time which it so unselfishly gave up to the school.

Again this year, as always, the Athletic Committee performed its numerous tasks about the school to near perfection. With each succeeding year the various duties of this group of industrious members of the student body grow larger and larger, until this past year it included anything from lining the athleticfieldfor football and baseball games and generally keeping it in good condition, to taking care of the behind-the-school basketball equipment, coaching some of the younger boys, helping out in the usual confusion of Field Day, and seeing to the renting of gymnasiums for basketball games as well as practices.

T h e Committee to carry out these more-than-necessary funcrions was selected by the Srudent Council at the beginning of the year. Its membership consisted of seventeen boys ranging from the sophomore class through the senior class. It included Michael Zales, chairman, seniors Richard Dawson, Pete Peterson,

Seniefi Pfiem Committee If one were to ask any Southern Connecticut young m a n or w o m a n what the social event of the season is, he or she would immediately answer, "The Senior Prom". The Class of 1955, without any show of modesty, agrees completely with this answer and promises, if not the best Senior Prom ever, one that will long be temembered.

This year the committee consists of a number of boys w h o have shown, via their ideas and brawn in putting over two gala terpsichorean delights in the Sophomore H o p and the Junior Prom, that they are capable of doing afinejob. The class with great care unanimously elected Hal Bloch, rich with electtical know-how, Bob Fogle, with a profound knowledge of design technique, Jerry Rubel, with a store of ideas, B o b Salomon, jam-packed with ability and muscle, and Robin Sunde, to add the ptofessional touch. Mike Zales, elected chairman by the afotementioned five, is

46

thete to see that the band is playing, everything is running smoothly, and that thefinalsocial meeting of the student body is a spectacular affair The music at this year's Prom is supplied by Ben Cutler and his band, w h o is well-known for his fine style. His music is well-accounted-for by St. Lukians, for w e had a lasting remembrance of his scintillating rhythms at last year's Senior Prom. T h e refreshments are supplied by our beloved Mr. and Mrs. Schmidt, whose magic with cake, sandwiches, and punch is a sight to behold. T h e theme is being kept a secrer by the committee until dance time.

The Senior Prom Committee this year promises that the night of June 4th will be one of beautiful music and decorations and one that will leave afineremembrance of the Class of 1955 as a demonstration of the tremendous things that they have done.

iJaftsitij jfeetlall by its win the previous week, Sr. Luke's met Oakwood, and this proved to be the g a m e in which our morale was lifted the most. T h e Saints controlled the play for the entite game, though the losers were able to score twice. Bob Salomon, the team captain, played his best in this game, scoring all four touchdowns and staging many other strong drives. W h e n thefinalwhistle was blown, the Saints were on top by a solid 25-14 score.

O n the date of our next andfinalg a m e the maroon and gray traveled to Millbrook, N e w York, to meet the Millbrook team. St. Luke's, at the time, was hindered by being at a loss of three of its fourfirst-stringbackfield men. T h e reserves played an amazingly unexpected game, but they couldn't match the smooth play of their opponents. Although there were no St. Luke's scores, the team put u p a noble effort. In conclusion the team would like to express its deepest thanks to Coach Cibere for the tremendous efforts that he undertook in order that we, the varsity football team, could learn the fundamentals of football, fair play, and sportsmanship.

A s early as thefirstweek of September the Hilltop was the scene of intense practice in pteparation for the coming football season. Coach Cibere put together a starting lineup consisting of six seniors,fivejuniors, and a lone sophomore. The team which had considetable weight gave all intentions of playing some good hard ball in the coming contests.

T h e team opened the season, inexperienced but highly spirired, against Fieldston. T h e result was a 26-0 setback. B o b Fogle, quartetback of the team, ran a squad that had first-game "shivers", characteristic of a newly-fotmed team, and this same general pattern was also followed in our next game. This game with Brunswick was to be our toughest; however, w e did manage to score against our arch rivals.

In the third successive h o m e game of the season the Saints began to roll. They took on a St. Peter's team from upstate N e w York and handed them a 19-14 defeat. This game was without question the most exciting meeting of the year, and through the whole team's support, the varsity recorded itsfirstwin. Spirited 48

iJaftsity Basltetiall Making his inaugural appearance as basketball coach here on the Hilltop, Mr. McFarland must be congratulated for hisfinejob with the Maroon and Gray quinret. T h e Saints ended the regular season with an 8-5 record with thtee of the losses going to competition from outside the League. In the League Btunswick was again the ttipping point for the championship drive, with the Hilltoppers dropping both decisions to the superior and more practiced Bruins. Excluding Brunswick the Maroon and Gray had little trouble with the resr of the League, with King giving St. Luke's about its best battles. Mt. MacFarland used liberal substitution throughout the year, and from the very outset it could be seen that the coach was building for the future. The startingfivewas comprised of Mike Flaherty, Bob Salomon, Pete Peterson, John White, and last but not least Pete Salmon. However the second team was frequently used, and it will be the experience that they have gained that will tell in future years.

Technically speaking, the Saints utilized, for the main part, a tight zone defense, which proved remarka-

bly successful in competition. The Basil's team seemed to be the only one which held a key to this defense, being the only aggregation to score over 60 points against it. The tight defensive ball played by the M a roon and Gray throughout the season enabled the team to do some scoring, too, and the big score of the season was against a game Rooseveltfive.B o b Salomon led the scoring attack this year, while Pete Salmon and John White followed close behind. Mike Flaherty and Pete Peterson must also be given a lot of credit for their contribution to the team's effectiveness, because of Mike's great ball-handling and passing ability and Pete's rebounding along with his set shots.

The overall picture of the 1955 basketball â&#x20AC;˘ season was a good one, especially taking into consideration the lack of a gymnasium fot practice. Although four of the starting line-up will graduate in June, Blair Rubel, John Rawls, John White, and Hanson, Murphy, and Thomas will provide an excellent nucleus for a winning team next year.

vafisity Baselall on to handle the catching chores. B o b Fogle, w h o handed in magnificent fielding jobs at thitd last year, will probably patrol the hot-corner again. Pete Salmon will be covering ground at short as in the past, and at fitst it is a toss u p between Dawson and Salomon, w h o was last year's slugger, with the odd m a n undoubtedly tromping d o w n the outfield grass. T h e Hilltoppers don't have a definite second baseman, and the candidates for this envied position are far too numerous to catalog herein. Switching to the ourfield w e again come up with a few question marks, but these are not too puzzling. Blair Rubel is almost assured a spot, but that still leaves two positions very heavily contested.

A notable weakness of the Maroon and Gray teams of the past has been the inability to hit in the clutch, combined with the general lack of running ability. T h e chore of correcting these faults falls to Mr. MacFarland, and if the success in basketball denotes similar rewards in baseball, the Saints should really do a bang-up job in League competition.

A s rhe C A D U C E U S goes to press m u c h before the end, or for that matter the beginning, of the baseball season, it will be necessary to include hetein a capsule preview instead of the resume used for other sports.

T h e quest this year will be for pitching, and it will be u p to M r . MacFarland, w h o is making hisfirstappearance this year as baseball mentor, to choose his m o u n d staff for the team. The coach has quite a lot of ability in a number of returnees from lasr year, and in looking through them w e find Pat Thomas, w h o did a large share of last year's relief duties; Mike Clark, also a reliefer; and such aspirants as Hal Bloch and Robin Sunde, w h o likes to give the rest of the catchers a chance by throwing from the mound.

Before moving to the various infield berths, it would be worrh while to mention the man-behind-the-plate.

T h e Saints are quite fortunate to have a liberal supply of these hard-handed-individuals; in fact there are three very talented such members of the team. Robin Sunde, King Birdsall, and Mike Flaherty can be counted

Jueaque jeMall T h e 1954 version of the Maroon and Gray League competition came to an end this fall with the Maroons holding a decisive advantage. Four games were played in this division of intramurals on the Hilltop, three of which were w o n by the generally superior Maroons.

It goes without saying, however, that this quartet of contests was hard fought to the bitter end, as is conclusively borne out by the scores of the final rwo games: one being a 13-13 tie and the other victoty for rhe boys in the dark jerseys with a 13-12 score. Both teams had unusually fine backfields, and under the able

tutelage of Mr. MacFarland their combined ralents brought great honor to St. Luke's in the fotm of a 13-7 victory over Saxe Junior High School. Though rhe Gray backfield of Baggley, Wrightson, Wiese, and Ruxton was indeed a strong combination of running and passing ability, judging by the high scores of the first two games the Maroons had a slight edge in this department. Looking over its composition, one can readily see plenty of backfield talent in Whatmore, Baily, Saxe, and Marc Pelanne. T h e credit cannot be given entirely to the backfields of these two teams,

however, and such stalwart linemen as Hall, Davis, H. Wiese, and Jordon for the Grays, along with M c Gourty, W o o d w a r d , W . Baggley, and J. Hall of the Maroons certainly contributed greatly to both teams.

W i t h M r . MacFarland taking over the coaching duties this year m u c h emphasis was placed on both the fundamentals and the specialties which it is necessary to develop in order to play a sound g a m e of ball. There was a very noticeable improvement in all these respects this fall, and the tesults, of course, can be credited to the coach and also a marked improvement in the attirude of the players themselves. The boys are n o w start-

ing to play with a drive that is absolutely necessary in order tofielda winning team. It is good to be able to say that there is not just an individual drive, but a drive composed of a team effort. This helps in eliminating the "big name" and giving the whole team credit where credit is due.

In conclusion, it is a certainty that within the next few years football teams here at St. Luke's will attain heights previously unexperienced by their predecessors, and it is this League program which will be in a majority tesponsible for such success.

JunM jeeSall Following the plan for intramural competition that was put into action in the fall of 1951, the boys in or below the sixth grade have been divided into two groups, the Maroons and the Grays. As in the previous seasons the division has been as even as is humanly possible with the advantage nevet being with one team two years in a row. This year the Grays had a very slight advantage which enabled them to win all five games that wete played. The Maroons tried valiantly to overcome the odds against them as is shown clearly by the

narrowing of the difference of the scores (19-0, 15-0, 14-0, 20-7, 7-0), but their great effort was to no avail since they wete not able to gain a victory this year.

Under the very capable hands of Mr. Pearsall this group of boys w h o previously knew little or nothing about the game of football has been molded into two teams w h o play for the team and not the personal glory.

These boys have put on a very excellent show for the parents w h o deemed it worthy to come and see them play. Above all the skill and knowledge of football that

they have gained from Mr. Pearsall's coaching, they have learned the true meaning of sportsmanship which is the basic goal that any coach wants to obtain.

Both the Grays and Maroons fought hard and well in every g a m e as a team, but n o w it is necessaty to give them recognition as individuals even though they played as an organization. R a y m o n d Pearsall, Jr. called the signals for the Grays, and Fisher called the plays.

Fleschner and Sherwood completed the backfield, while

such stalwarts as Pederson, Olivetti, Bell, and Martin strengthened the line.

M u c h credit must also be given to the hard fighting Matoon squad captained by fullback Alden Twachtman. Jim Hetzog was quarterback and shared the honors with the hard-running Chapan and "Fowler.

Dave W o o d w a r d was outstanding offensively and defensively while other prominent members of the line included Gaisser, Fogle, Everson, William Cibere, Jr., and Spelke.
