W h e n we, the Class of 1957, leave the Hilltop to go our separate ways, w e will carry with us many fond memories of St. Luke's and the friends w e have made here. A m o n g the foremost of these are Mr. and Mrs. Schmidt, whose fine dinners w e have been privileged to eat for many years. Apart from their culinary accomplishments, Mr. and Mrs. Schmidt have proved themselves again and again to be wonderful friends. They have enthusiastically supported all the school activities and can be relied upon to know where everything is in and about school.

Therefore, it is with a sense of w a t m affection that the Class of 1957 dedicate our yearbook, The C A D U C E U S , to Mr. and Mrs. Schmidt.

Dave Askren, one of the two newcomers to the Hilltop this year, is a quiet fellow with a truly amazing amount of "grey matter" concealed under afiery-redhead of hair. His subtle sense of humor and his ready smile have w o n him the friendship of all w h o come in contact with him. H e has participated in basketball, where he was one of the team's valued players and has written some excellent material for the Sentinel. Because of his very fortunate combination of personality and scholastic ability, Dave certainly should succeed in whatever he m a y choose to become.

Hailing from Ridgefield, Gas has showed us that he is a leader in both sports and activities. A fine student and a veritable terror on the gridiron, Gas is the possessor of the ability to do almost anything equally well. Having been elected chairman of the Senior P r o m Committee, he has spent m u c h time organizing what w e hope will be a very memorable evening. Whatever his future vocation m a y be, Gas should certainly have no difficulty in accomplishing great things, judging by both the maturity and aggressiveness he has displayed.

His ten years on the Hilltop have been very busy ones, for he has always had several "irons in the fire." H e is a longtime m e m b e r of the Sentinel staff, this year becoming managing editor. His writing ability has been further recognized by his appointment as editor of this year's C A D U C E U S .

Because of his industriousness and mature outlook on life, Bill should go far in the world, and w e can expect to hear great things from him in the future.

Although he is a newcomer to the Hilltop this year, "Howie" has wasted no time in establishing for himself a reputation for being one of the best natured individuals ever to grace the halls of St. Luke's. His ever present humorous remarks have dissolved m a n y a physics class into gales of laughter, and his good nature has w o n him m a n y friends. A formidable football and basketball player, Howie has shown himself to be as good a sport on thefieldand court as he is off them. Howie's friendly and generous nature should give him a head start on the road to success.

Ever since he joined our class 'way back in the fourth grade, John has been considered to be one of the class "brains." John has worked on the Sentinel for many years, this year rising to the nervous breakdown inducing position of Editor-in-Chief. H e is on the advertising staff of this year's C A D U C E U S , and has been elected to the position of Class Vice-President.

"Jerry" Clark, a comparatively n e w m e m b e r of our class havingfirstarrived on the Hilltop in his junior year, is, perhaps, best k n o w n for his keen sense of h u m o r and his gray Willys car of indeterminate age. H e has been one of the heaviest contributors to this year's Sentinel, for he has written, a m o n g other things, several fine short stories of a dramatic nature. Because of his w a r m and friendly personality Jerry should win as many friends in the future as he has w o n here and be a success in whateverfieldof work he m a y choose to enter after college.

Ed's greatest claim to fame, however, is as an English student whose struggles to explain his theories to Dr. Kidd, have enlivened classes on m a n y an occasion in past years. It is certain that Ed's friendly personality and generosity will most certainly lead him to success and happiness.

Peter joined us in the second grade and was even then in such a position that he never had to look u p to any of his classmates.

His height and awesome intelligence are greatly respected and have helped him to enjoy a distinguished career on the Hilltop ever since his arrival. His niche in our Hall of Fame was earned primarily through his prowess in the classroom and on the basketball court, although baseball has also claimed m u c h of his attention. Whatever challenges lie ahead in life for him, all w h o k n o w him will expect the "greatest" from Pete.

In Dan'sfirstyear on the Hilltop, he was described in the C A D U C E U S of that year as the boy, "whose voice threatens to demolish the school." As the years have passed, so did some of Dan's volume; but not his enthusiasm. A s chairman of the Student Council, Danny has increased the scope of that body and made it even more effective. Under his driving persuasion the business board of the yearbook has reached new highs in salesmanship. Indeed Danny has become the mighty atom of the senior class and is bound to continue wherever he goes.

Pierre was thefirstrepresentative of the class on the Student Council, a post which he has held ever since, becoming the Council's treasurer this year. His activity in sports has contributed greatly to many of our winning seasons, for he has been on the first string of the baseball and basketball teams for two years. This interest in sports has brought h i m the sports editorship of the Sentinel, a job which he has done expertly. A loyal m e m b e r of our class and of our school, Pierre will certainlyfindsuccess in the years following his graduation from the Hilltop.

QriXr\

W h e n on that September day back in 1953 twelve of the twenty members of our present class arrived on the Hilltop, few people besides ourselves were at all impressed by the fact that w e had become high school students, future leaders of school activities at St. Luke's.

There was good reason for their lack of enthusiasm, since in the previous years w e had earned the reputation of being a "happy-go-lucky" crew with a bit too casual an attitude toward studies and good conduct.

In the ninth grade, however, the class began to earn a measure of success and consequent respect. Pierre Pelanne was elected as ourfirstrepresentative to the Student Council; Pat Thomas, one of the "oldesttimers," served as Class President; Bill Biers, John

Serving on the Student Council with D a n that year was Pierre Pelanne, w h o also represented the class on the Athletic Committee, along with Jeremy Murphy, Pete Hanson, and Marc Pelanne. Bill Biers, w h o with Joe Shinnick was one of thefirstto obtain the cherished driver's license, gave "his all" for the Sentinel and frequent appearances on the Honor Roll. Bucky Margold kept busy by distributing his calling cards (Davis "Bucky" Margold) to one and all. John Byers, w h o had moved into the Class Presidency, was establishing himself on the Sentinel and, with some regularity, on the Honor Roll.

All three varsity teams were well populated with sophomores as Murphy and Margold, in addition to

treasurer respectively. As in past years, the class contributed a great many prospective "stars" to the various varsity squads. D a n Katz and Frank H a m m o n d served as co-managers of the football team for which Biers, Glendinning, Hanson, Margold, Murphy, Pape, and Thomas gave the proverbial "all." Basketball boasted of the Pelannes, Giles, de Beam, Hanson, Thomas, and Murphy, and w e were represented on the baseball diam o n d by, once again, the Pelannes, de Beam, Hanson, and Thomas.

W e entered our senior year on the Hilltop with a record of achievements â&#x20AC;&#x201D; scholastic, athletic, and socialâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; to which w e could point with considerable Katz, appeared for football; Hanson, Giles, Marc Pel-

Pat Thomas and Pierre Pelanne represented the class on the Student Council; Bill Biers, Eric Rowlison, and John Byers worked for the Sentinel with Byers taking over the Assistant Editorship; and Biers, Katz, the two Pelannes, and Murphy served on the Athletic C o m mittee.

idzEinman Ciaii W e of the ninth grade, were somewhat concerned about making the change from eighth grade to high school. However, w e all made the change satisfactorily and can n o w look forward to our future years at St. Luke's with a certain amount of confidence.

There are a number of types of students in the class, which includes the following: Lonnie Blanchard is a woman-hater w h o studies hot tods; Bill Relyea comes from Weston and heads the anti-French club; Erhart Ruegg is the veteran of the class, having spent eight years on the Hilltop; Gavin Pitt comes from Ridgefield, but don't hold that against him; Charles Clayton came to St. Luke's via Texas, California, and N e w York; Peter Mezan, class lightweight, brought fame upon himself by actually studying in study hall; Steve Hoffman, vice president of the class, is a future m e m ber of the smokets' club; Skip Heydt is the best

38

dressed m e m b e r of the class; Richard Ide, the tallest m e m b e r of the class, is the strong and not-so-silent type; Jeff Craig, a newcomer, is an authority on photosynthesis, whatever that means; Bob Bell, the class clown, is famous for asking long, complicated questions; Scott Cluett is the most ivy leagish m e m b e r of the class; George Thompson, class heavyweight, can always be heard talking upon some obscure point of mechanics. Ted Fisher, class treasurer, is one of our brainy members, and Jeff Hall, class secretary, adds a touch of athleticfinesseto the seniors of I960; Mike Gilroy, "God's gift to women," is our president and representative to the Student Council.

W e hope that if w e have m a d e any impressions on the school, they are all satisfactory. W e also want to wish the class of 1957 all good luck in the coming years.

<^>tud&nt Council This year's Student Council under thefineleadetship of its chairman, Daniel Katz, has carried on its vatious activities, such as assisting the proctoring of study halls, the organizing of an effective athletic committee, keeping the proper conduct in the school and gymnasium, and the sponsoring of the annual Christmas dance, in such a way that all have benefited.

T h e remaining seniors on the council were: Pat Thomas, w h o served on the council as secretary; Pierre Pelanne, the treasurer and a four year veteran; and Skip Glendinning, a newcomer, whose helpful suggestions were of great aid. T h e juniors were capably represented by Smokey Baker and Dick Novik, also newcomers, and Kenny Miller, a two year veteran.

Sophomores Bruce Baggaley and James Wrightson contributed greatly as did iwo more w h o were n e w

44

to the council this year, Mike Gilroy w h o ably represented the freshman class, and the eighth grade representative Terry Martin.

T h e representation in Student Council was revised this year. T h e junior class was represented by three members, one more than last year, while the senior membership was reduced by one. This m a d e for a better balance with the two top classes still most responsible for making the policies for the school.

At this time many congratulations should be extended to the council. It can certainly be said that this year's Student Council was one of the best ever to have appeared on the Hilltop. It is to be praised for its progressive and responsible administration, especially when dealing with the problems which affect so m a n y fellow-classmen.

<^rftnLztic Uommittzz Ray Killion, and R. Spelke. These boys were chosen by the Student Council in conjunction with Mr. Pearsall.

This year the usual duties of the committee, plus some others, have been performed to near perfection.

During this past fall, before every h o m e football game, this faithful group prepared thefieldand, moreover, the baseball diamond did not want for lack of excellent treatment. The usual refereeing of league, junior, and intramural varsity football competition was executed by several members of the committee, and n o w that the new g y m is ready for capacity use, a n e w system has been set up in which there are g y m periods twice a week supervised by the committee. Field Day, the final athletic event of the year, is also supervised by this group of boys.

In contrast to former years, this year's member of the Athletic Committee had to put forth some concentrated effort in order to become a member of the chosen sixteen, for merit and the boy's willingness to work were the primary considerations. T h e new system of choosing the members this year is almosr a carbon copy of the universal system which is used by most colleges to choose various committees and the like. A trial period is put into effect in which the aspirants for the position are given the chance to show their initiative and desire for the jobs for which they are competing.

T h e membership, under the chairmanship of Barry Montgomery, is as follows: William Biers, H . Brafman, John Byers, Jeremy Murphy, Harry Pape, Marc Pelanne, Peter Betts, John Gallavan, John Richmond, John Moore, John Grandbois, R. Flatow, J. Herzog,

T h e sports have been ably covered by Gaston de B e a m , H o w a r d Brafman, Bruce Baggaley, and Hans Truenfels.

Our artistic staff member, Joseph Shinnick, drew rhe fine cartoons and pictures which have appeared throughout the year. George T h o m p s o n provided the camera shots.

A m o n g other fine writers on the staff were: Kennedy Miller, Kenneth Whitham, Peter Callaway, and Jim Herzog.

Mr. Graves, faculty advisor, deserves a vote of thanks for the excellent advice and assistance he has given during this past year.

Certainly the Sentinel issues this year have been about the best since the paper started. T h e reporting has been accurate and thorough, the stories have reached a n e w high in quality and entertainment value, and the editorials have been both timely and informative.

Naturally, the responsibility for putting out this publication lies with m a n y people, but the editor-inchief, John Byers, shouldered a generous portion of them. John's right hand m a n , Bill Biers, the managing editor, also deserves a large share of the credit for having m a d e the paper what it is. T h e feature editor, Eric Rowlison, and the sports editor, Pierre Pelanne, did more than their share, too, for, along with John and Bill, they often stayed at school several hours after everyone else had gone h o m e tofinishthe paper.

CadiuazuÂą W h e n this year's Caduceus went to press early in the year, it climaxed several months of intensive work by the staff. Our goal was to create a better book and to concentrate on quality rather than quantity. T o accomplish this, a small staff was chosen on the theory that a few boys working in harmony can accomplish as much, if not more, than a larger group. However, one or two n e w ideas have been introduced to add a little something extra to this record of the 1956-1957 school year.

T h e editorial board consisted of Bill Biers, editor; Eric Rowlison, associate editor; and Joseph Shinnick, managing editor. These three boys had the job of writing m u c h of the material, handing out the assignments, coordinating the various departments of the book, and seeing to the photography and art work. T h e other half

47

of the staff consisted of the business board, which was successfully headed by D a n Katz. W i t h him were Skip Glendinning and John Byers, w h o greatly helped in the job of soliciting ads. It is hardly necessary to say that selling advertisements was one of the most tiring and at the same time, one of the most important functions of the staff. The whole class pitched in on the job, and w e are indebted to them for the excellent work they did.

This year, as he has so often in the past, M r . Pearsall was the faculty advisor to the Caduceus staff, and w e must express our sincere thanks to him for the assistance, advice, and, most of all, the patient and tolerant guidance which he gave to the staff.

Thus, w e have produced the thirteenth edition of the St. Luke's Caduceus, and w e hope it will serve as a valuable and exact record of ourfinalyear on the Hilltop.

cu John Newhouse; last but not least were the basses, with K e n W h i t h a m and Dick Houlberg doing the rumbling.

It must be said that, though they certainly were no group of canaries, the boys did a fine job of singing after their parts were drilled into them. A good example of this "drilling" is thefirstsong attempted this year. It was "The Three Bells." Though it was the first number which the boys tried, it was one of the most difficult. It involved complications in allfiveparts and was hard to master. Mr. Coates helped out on this song, and without this help, the boys might yet be working on it. The group also sang such songs as "Swing Low, Sweet Chariot," "The Whiffenpoof Song," and other selections. The club was a very great success. It is hoped that the Glee Club will be carried on and expanded.

This year St. Luke's once again had a Glee Club. It has been tried a few times in the past, but has never been a lasting organization. It was started early in the first term by Jack Kortegast and Geoff Dodge. Meetings were held on Friday evenings primarily, though Mr. Coates, of Weston, lent the boys a hand one M o n day night in November. Kortegast played the piano accompaniment, and Geoff Dodge provided a great deal of the leadership which is so necessary in any activity.

T h e boys w h o comprised our group were as follows: Jerry Clark and Hans Truenfels sangfirsttenor; in the second tenor group were John Gallavan, Gaston de B e a m , and Geoff Dodge; the baritones, numerically the largest section, were m a d e up of John Byers, Dave Hamblen, John Richmond, Barry Montgomery, and

Thefinaland most important event of the school social season is without doubt the Senior Prom. Its importance lies in the fact that it is the last time that the seniors will be together under the same roof and that it is also the unofficial termination of the school year, the official one, of course, being Commencement. This gala culmination of the school year is always awaited with the keenest anticipation by the entire school, students and faculty alike. Judging from the intriguing rumors circulating about, it promises to be a better and more sparkling dance than ever before.

T h e Senior Prom Committee, which was elected by the senior class early last winter, has as its members Gaston de B e a m , Howard Brafman, Frank H a m m o n d , Jeremy Murphy, and Harry Pape. A t itsfirstmeeting,

49

the committee chose as its chairman Gaston de Beam.

H e has the import job of keeping track of all the subcommittees and seeing to it that all the dance preparations are going along smoothly. Howard Brafman, w h o is in charge of the decorating committee, Frank H a m mond, w h o is handling the publicity angle, and Jeremy Murphy and Harry Pape, w h o are jointly taking care of selling tickets and obtaining a band, all have a big job ahead of them. Fortunately for the sanity of the committee members, they will have the wholehearted assistance of the rest of the senior class, w h o have been appointed to the various sub-committees. W i t h preparations for the dance in the hands of such an able grouo, w e are certain that it will be a smashing success.

*â&#x20AC;˘ vax^itu ^3~ootuaLL Activity on the St. Luke's gridiron began early this year. Coach Cibere was again appointed to the task of forming a team tough enough to surmount all obstacles and bring the long absent championship back to the Hilltop. T h efirstg a m e of the season the n e w Saint Luke's team crushed Brunswick 19-0, which was m u c h to the surprise to both Brunswick and ourselves. This stunning victory snapped Brunswick's five year winning streak. Confidence abounded the following week as w e were pitted against the formidable N e w York State School for the Deaf.

T h e Hilltoppers lost in a thrilling contest 27 to 19.

T h e Saints benefited from their experiences as they earned a victory over the Norwalk J.V.'s 13 to 6. Three touchdowns were nullified by penalities. Oakwood was the next to feel the weight of the Saint Luke's attack on October 20. T h e invaders became the victims of a

53

32 to 7 rout, during which the entire Saint Luke's squad saw action.

T h e team journeyed to Storm King a week later, optimistic about the outcome of the game. Pat Thomas was injured on the kickoff, and the optimism was transformed into desperation as the Saints battled to win. The second tragic loss of the day was suffered as Storm King frusttated our attempts and w o n 18 to 14.

A massive Friend's Academy team, mashed the visiting Hilltoppers by a 32-13 score on November 3rd. Far more serious than the loss of the g a m e was their contribution to the swelling Saint Luke's casualty list. T h e final g a m e of the season was played with a greatly depleted lineup, but it still became the bitterest of the season's conflicts. Saint Peter's took advantage of the weakness and beat us by a 45-25 margin.

N o w that the League football season is over, w e can look back with pride on a successful football year. U n der the tutelage of Mr. MacFarland, the League has produced many fine players w h o will providefinevarsity material in the futute.

the score 24-6. In thefinalgame of the football season the Grays held the Maroons to a 9-6 victory.

Although none of these scores were close numerically, the Grays did afinejob and should nor be denied attention, but the Maroons had the advantages.

Since a backfield depends upon the line, the linem e n should be given credit. For the Maroons the line was composed of Fuller at center, Hoffman and Gais-

ser at the guards, T w a c h m a n and Crowell at the tackles, and Ide and Weaver at the ends. T h e Gray line was composed of R. Pearsall at center, P. Flatow and Glass at the guards, K e m p and C. Calhoun at the tackles, and Pfeifer and Clayton at the ends.

Whatver these boys do in the future, the ideals that they learn in football will be carried with them throughout their life.

dunloz <dd\l\ a%oonÂą Since the plan for intramural competition went into effect in the fall of 1951, boys up to the sixth gtade play junior football. The teams are as evenly matched as possible and are named the Maroons and the Grays.

The Juniors had four games scheduled for the season, and the Maroons w o n three of them. In the first contest the Maroons, led by Paul Ross, beat the Grays 7-0. The Grays seeking vengeance, made a bettet show-

ing in the second game but lost again by 12-6. In the third game, however, the Grays, sparked by their fullback Claude Pelanne, mauled the Maroons, the score being 9-6. The Maroons w o n the last game 18-6.

Under Mr. Judd's wonderful coaching many boys w h o formerly knew little or nothing of the game were molded into athletes, playing for the good of the team, not for personal glory.

duniox ^xaui A m o n g the better players on the two teams w e find some w h o could well be future stars. In the Gray backfield there is Donald Thompson, quarterback, Claude Pelanne, fullback, and, last but not least, Martin Pearsall. O n the line there are Bill Bouton and Jeff Palmer.

Going over to the Maroons, w e must pay tribute to such backfield m e n as Paul Ross and Bill Cibere, while

those w h o did the job holding the line were Bill Fuller, Robert M o o n , and Dick Langhorne. Thus, another interesting and not infrequently amusing season has come to an end, each boy reaping the full benefit of his experience, whether it be a better knowledge of h o w to get along with his fellow being, an ideal which is really the main reason for this competition.

ddsadzztbaLL If the 1957 basketball games were to be depicted by a strip of changing color, it would start out as a black or deep purple for the initial game against St. Peter's in which w e suffered a defeat. It would lighten slightly for the loss to St. Basil's, but from there it would become brighter and brighter as the m e n from St. Luke's rolled over Wright Tech, H a m d e n Hall, St. Peter's, Cherry Lawn, King, Roosevelt, and Daycrofr. The only dark spots on this bright stripe would be the losses to Brunswick and St. Basil's. Both the Brunswick games were hard-fought battles, decided in the last quarter. The loss to St. Basil's, 38-34, was what one might call a moral victory. N o t only was it a tight game, the outcome of which was in doubt until the end, but St. Luke's came as close to victory over St. Basil's as any other adversary had this year, excepting N e w Canaan

63

High. Also it showed that St. Luke's could compete successfully in Class C competition.

The 1957 Junior Varsity picture was not as bright.

Close losses to Wilton Junior High, Brunswick, and St. Peter's, and one crushing defeat by Wilton, was the team's mediocre record. O n the bright side were the outstanding performances of John Grandbois, Bob Weise, Jim Wrightson, and Dick Novik.

The Varsity was built around Pete Hanson, center, "Speedy" Eddie Giles and Pierre Pelanne, forwards, and Howie Brafman and Marc Pelanne, guards. This combination, backed up by such excellent players as Smokey Baker, John Grandbois, Dick Novik, Dave Askren, and Bob and Harold Weise, m a d e tough and often over-powering competition for rivals.

Truly, it was a great team, always to be remembered as one of thefinestin St. Luke's history.
