A friend is one who radiates a spirit of overflowing good will, and that is exactly the way Mr. Jacob impresses us. It is with great respect and affection that we dedicate our yearbook to him, for to us he has been far more than a teacher ; he has been a helpful guide and an inspiration. Through hi s deep understanding and quiet patience, he has imparted to us not only a working knowledge of mathematics but also an interest in the acquisition of knowledge. We are proud to dedicate our 1962 CADUCEUS to Mr. James P. Jacob, whose life exemplifies the meaning of dedication .

MR. JAMES P. JACOB

June 7, 1962 Dear Boys of '62: On this very important occasion I wish to take this opportunity to express my sincere thanks to you for all that you have done during the past few years to make St. Luke's a better place. At the same time I wish to say "God bless you" as you leave our school for your next stopping place along the academic way . All of you are to be congratulated upon achieving this initial success in your quest for knowledge, but may I caution you that you still face more difficult hurdles that you must surmount before you will be able to meet the obstacles that life will present. This is a beginning of a new venture for each of you. Your graduation from St. Luke's is but the beginning; college and life beyond will offer many challenges, and the decisions that you will have to make will be extremely important. It has been my privilege to try to impart to you an adequate knowledge of English that

will be useful to you throughout life. If, in addition, I have helped you to see wherein your life may be useful in our present strife-torn world , then I shall be very happy. The world needs young men of vision, men who have the courage to dream dreams and the fortitude to carry out those dreams. May you do your part, be it ever so small, in making this a better country and a better world. You will pass through this world but once. Any good therefore that you can show to any human being, do it now. Do not defer or neglect it, for you will not pass this way agam. Faithfully yours,

Headmaster

DR. JOSEPH R. KIDD Headmaster English A.B. , Lafayette College; B.D ., Yale University; Ph.D., University of Edinburgh; D.Sc.Ed., Lafayette College

June 7, 1962 To the Men of '62: We have been together .only a short time, but working among you in these few months has been a refreshing and memorable experience. Those who have watched you from the bleachers will never forget the fin e sportsmanship you exhibited . May the spi rit of St. Luke's encourage you to go to greater heights in your new endeavors. America needs men in policy-making positions that have character, intelligence, and experience. Character comes first. Character is your personal moral dimension, the goals you set for yourself, your sense of honesty and responsibility, your relation with others. In a discussion with businessmen I asked them what they considered the most desirable character traits in an applicant for an executive position in their company. Their answer was integrity, courage, faith, emotional stability, and humility. The faculty at St. Luke's has helped you to understand that these values are essential for a well-rounded person entering business, industry, government, labor, the Church , or education. The surest way to build these inner resources is a God-controlled life. Men who have submitted to the will of God , who take God seriously, who not only believe in Him but live that way, make a nation invulnerable. It guarantees maximum strength. "Seek ye first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these other things shall be added unto you." Matthew 6:33. I hope you will always remain in touch with us, and feel free to call on me whenever you think I can be of help to you. With best wishes, Sincerely,

Director

seniORS

class

We, the Class of 1962, being reasonably sound of mind and surprisingly hale of body, are packing all puzzling geometric

hiStORY

theorems, scuffed dancing shoes, hurri edly learned and hastily forgotten economic princi pies, and battle-scarred football equipment in preparation for th at appointment with D estiny which awaits us after June seventh . H owever, as we trudge down the bluestoned driveway from . the Hilltop, we know

once upon

that those who are still engaged in the academi c life here at St. Luke's will continue to bear high aloft the traditions and standards of our school. During these, our formative years,

a ttme,

our alma mater has guided us past the inroads and alleyways of youth; she has completed the fi rst of our periods of educa-

W€ lOOk€<)

tion, so that now we stand prepared with a broad, general foundation of basic knowledge to proceed to greater things in later life. To the under-classme n we leave all this with the

ltk€ thtS:

fervent wish that they follow the words· of the masters. As we look back into our rapidly disappeari ng past we might envision the end of the summer of 1958, when a new light dawned upon the familiar brick building, for it was then that our merry little crew techni cally became freshmen. Pete Pinza, Duncan Hume, and Ed Simmons reported early in the year for their first try at Varsity football. Pinza became class president and was elected to the Student Council. Who will ever forget the bellowi ng voice of Mr. Judd singing old English ballads as Palmer and Runyon laughed I Everyone learned to enjoy Lati n, the livi ng language, by the end of the year, for as freshman we enjoyed life to its fullest, havi ng a lot of fun and paying little or no atte nti on to the fact that college was only a couple of years ago. It wasn't until much later in our schooling that we realized the true significance of our labors . Seven more colleagues joined us in our Sophomore year. It was now that we began to realize that time had slipped rapidly by and soon we would be choos ing a coll ege which we might like to attend . This conception, which was presented to us early in the year, was lost as many of the boys "had fun" in class, paying little heed to the teacher. More energy was put to . work athletically when Ficks, Fleming, Mezan, Palmer,

But then

Pearsall, and Runyon began varsity competition , earning a name in their various sports. The class had its first dance early in the Fall called, logically enough, "The Sophomore Hop."

W€ CjR€W

This year we struggled through an exciting year of biology, and the first of Dr. Kidd's English classes. Pinza, class president, and Mezan represented the Class of '62 on the Student Council. Fleming was President of the Sophomore Smoker's Club, while Ficks and Watters were noted for their Latin translations of Caesar. A great many new faces appeared in our junior year. Spelke and Glass, both ·of whom returned after having left in the eighth grade, were two familiar ones. The Bobsey TwinsMattoon and Cowenhoven, Charlie " the Man" Startup, Ned Laird, and Bruce Bucciarelli, were also among the new faces. As the year wore on , we again realized that we were soon to be college candidates. Pinza, again class president, Mezan, and Runyon represented the class on the Student Council. Eighteen members of the class participated in at least on of the three varsity sports, and nine out of fifteen baseball players were Juniors. Peckerman, Mezan, and Wrightington held up the scholastic end of their class as they were elected to the Honor Society. Then the last year of high school arrived 1 It seemed to take us by surprise. This was the year when we would all take a great step forward, and this step would probably be the key

up,

factor in our coming year's development. This was the year during which all of the work which we had done in the preceding years would prove whether or not we could make the grade. Seniors held most of the high offices in the clubs and different committees. Pete Pinza again was reelected to the Student Council , but this year he was the president, having

ano now,

Mezan as the secretary, and Glass as treasurer. Mr. Simmons headed the excellent Christmas dance; since th is fandango he has been a noted authority on terpsichorean decorations. A great interdependence existed between the CADUCEUS and the Sentinel; Peck headed the former and was assisted by Wrightington, Pearsall , and Mezan; Dave W. lead the bandwagon of the latter with Peck, Rick, and Kris Merschord help-

ing. The Hon.or Society, a traditionally Senior society, was overrun by Juniors, but still we managed to have Peck President, Rick Mezan Vice-president, and Dave Secretary. Ray Pearsall

lâ&#x201A;Ź~

chairmaned the fine Athletic Commitee, which had a good representation of Senior members, and which received a great boost from the work of Kris Merschrod. Fred Glass was elected Class President this past September; this is an important post, for the President must organ ize committees to buy the class gift, prepare for the Seni or Prom, and appoint a Finance Committee. Many are the changes and new faces that we have witnessed during our stay; foremost among these was the sale of the school to a group spearheaded by Mr. Knechtle. It was both a sad and happy occasion: sad, because it marked the end of an epoch; happy, for by handing the school over to a younger man, Dr. Kidd and Mr. Von have insured the tradition of fine education so prevalent during their ownership. In the offering, also, was a new athletic field , the fruition of Dr. Kidd's and Mr. Von's dreams . Since our freshman year we have seen excellent additions to the faculty: Mr. Valus, who teaches the elementary grades, entered our school i'n our sophomore year. During the junior term, we met for the first time Miss Jehlik, the pretty teacher for the primary grades, and Mr. Copp, who instructs us in world history, fencing , and the evils of Communism. When we arrived on September 20 to begin our final year, we found Coach Whitcomb, who produced a champion varsity football team (Glass and Pinza were cocaptains) and an equally triumphant basketball team (captained by Pinza). Also new "on the scene" is Mr. Macdonald , an English teacher. As we leave St. Luke's School, we leave a major portion of our youth behind us, with all of its fond remembrances. Nevertheless, the memories which we pack into our suitcases as we leave for college are happy ones, and those headaches which bothered us so much at the time will seem trivial indeed. The time shall come when we will value the defeats more than the victories for the lessons that they teach us, but we shall always hold dear those days on the Hilltop and the sampling of the finer things in life that the masters have revealed to us .

PETER M . ASHE

Westport Junior Prom Committee 3; Baseball 2, 3, 4; Basketball 2, 3, 4; Football 4.

Pete is a thoroughly likable character; he combines his good-humored and polite qualities with a general affableness that makes him quite easy to get along with . Pete has always had something to add to the many facets of St. Luke's life. One gets the feeling that here is a person who needs only to be drawn out a little, whose slight shell conceals general capabilities and vast potentialities under a soft-spoken, innate reserve. This second member of the Ashe dan to grace St. Luke's halls has been an interested participantin most athletic teams, social events, and the Class of '62 in general. Pete is a serious individual , not in any one specific area, but in 路 his outlook on life. Or is he really so serious after all? Perhaps he has all this time been gathering material for a light-hearted satire on secondary education, with the Hilltop as a setting and his happy-go-lucky classmates as the man "characters" they are. If such is his design, then we have no reason to fear. Pete's friendly, interesting, and straightforward manner, which made him a favorite at the senior " round table," will soften the barbs to gentle humor.

BRUCE L. BUCCIARELLI New Canaan Debating Club 4; Radio Club 3; Varsity Football 4; 1

Varsity Hockey 4.

A vigorous, artistic chap is the indomitable Mr. Bucciarelli. On the one hand, he is a thoughtful, singleminded student attempting to hide his frivolous instincts. On other ' occasions, this works in reverse with similar impartiality. Few will forget his resonantly-intoned imperious voice; many will overlook his fascinating background and talents; but Bruce will particularly stand out in our mind and in the world as an individual who is forthright, direct, never hesitating to speak his mind on any subject, always moving through life with a supreme confidence which will continually buoy him and his associates up. St Luke's has given Bruce a sense of duty and responsibility. Bruce has given St. Luke's yet another individualistic personality to cope with and benefit from . We need hardly wish Bruce the inevitable good luck, for . we know, whatever he may do, that he will make his own good fortune .

JOSEPH W. CALLAWAY, JR. New Canaan Basketball 4.

It is always hard to do justice to one whom we

have known for a short time, but a lot can be interpreted from a face, a smile, and a tone of voice. Joe Callaway is at once a resolute, precise, and witty young man, possessor of an acute perceptibility and a compelliQg interest in other people, their thoughts, their words and their personalities. His soft-spokenness and politeness have hopefully rubbed off on other seniors, perhaps not, 路 but they should not go unnoticed . Joe is one of those 路who has great concern for the future but who is ready to live every minute of the present to the fullest. Joe did ~ot go out of his way to establish top-surface friendships,

but rather his contemporaries felt themselves attracted to such a person to whom they could speak their minds openly 路and freely and receive in return considerable understanding. Joe's dislikes are few, but among them are police officers who fail to appreciate the mellow tones of a '57 Hillman's exhausts.

MICHAEL VAN D .. COWENHOVEN Westport Baseball 3, 4; Basketball 3,4.

A whiz at Math, an unwilling English student, an irrepressible humorist, a perfector of the sly drool -

all

these are Mike Cowenhoven. With both the stature and depth to talk over our heads, Mike has happily forsaken this line for an amicable melange .of practical joking and his serious "philosophy of life." An able and energetic sports participant, Mike has been able to convey some ot his spirit to athletic undertakings and their participants. It i!i Mike Cowenhoven's irrepressible good nature which

distinguishes him and sets the pattern for others. Conversations between Mike and his teachers have that electric quality which 路indicates that he is always striving to prove something, perhaps himself or his competitive ability and alertnes, all of which qualities will be influential in his inevitable success in later life.

ROBERT L. FICKS, III W eston CADUCEUS Business M anager 4; Athletic Committee 3, 4; Glee Club 2; Baseball , M anager 3,4 ; Football 2, 3, 4.

There are two Bob Fickses, both of them with their rel ative merits. One is a highl y efficient, nearly impersonal individual who will pursue such a task as causing the funds of wealthy merchants to redound to thi s hopelessly-indigent p ubl icati on, with a sing le-mind ed determination and business-li ke fe rvor unexcelled in such m atters. The other is a deep- thinking personality who operates in more modest and fr iend ly frequencies and who is more inclin ed toward s pl easing and befriending those whom h e feels will understand him . Bob is not at a!l shy about p rofessing hi s desire to be a minister, and, in view of the consistent record of service which he has completed at St. Luke's, we are sure he will be a good one.

KENNETH L. FLEMING, IV Stamford Senior Prom Committee 4; Athletic Committee 3; CADUCEUS Advertising Staff 4; Coaches' Club 2, 3; Baseball 1, 2, 3, 4; Basketball 1, 2, 3; Football 2, 3, 4; Hockey 4.

Kenny is certainly one of the most amiable and thus well-received members of the Class of '62. Here is a strong individualist, one who is unusually adept in his usage of the English language, who seems always to blend in perfectly with the mood and atmosphere of the moment. He is his own sympathetic audience for those few jokes that didn't quite make it. Few can forget "chug-a-lugging" down the highway at prohibitive speeds in that dusty-blue Borgward. Distinguished also for his attractive selection of female company, he has a true social spirit which helped to give the class a boost over that particular barrier. Kenny was a chronic sufferer of the "Wednesday blues," an affliction common to that large clan who find that time drags for five days and then races for two. A baseball player who is long on the drive but short on the practice, Ken also ran many touchdown plays, in spite of the predictions of the Smokers' Club. Ken's ability and ingenuity were called upon on numerous occasions, and never has he failed to accomplish any task which he has undertaken. Whatever field of busi ness her pursues, Ken's sense of ~espon足 sibility and ambitious spirit should carry him far.

FREDRICK M. GLASS, JR. Darien Class President 4; Student Council Treasurer 4; Senior Prom Committee 4; Coaches' Club 3; Athletic Committee 4; CADUCEUS Advertising Staff 4; Baseball 3, 4; Basketball Co-Manager 4; Football 3, Co-captain 4.

The suave, quick-smiling behemoth who aspires to grasp phxsics and become a fly-boy, despite his fear of heights, Fred has countenanced many short-humored referees and has been the straight-man for maliciouslymotivated wisecrackers. The happy result of his endearing personality and enduring (after a two-year absence) popularity was his election to the exalted and rigorous position of Class President, in which position he has caused a disassembled, disinterested, stingy group of seniors to become, at least temporarily, aware of class responsibilities. A tireless supporter of dances, parties and school service projects, Fred has also acted as mainstay for the football team in two successive years. Fred has always exhibited maturity of mind and spirit under all circumstances, a quality which will stand him in good stead whatever his future may hold for him.

RODNEY G. HOFFSTATTER Danb.ury Radio Club President 3.

Rod is a man of few words, several talents, and an infinitely large amount of knowledge on such varied topics as automobiles, sports, and Spanish. He is easily befriended and is a most engaging conversationalist. A long-time habituee of the "Less T ars" terrace, Rod has this year been exploring the psychology of a mooch. As he is the class's only Danbury resident, he once seriously considered opening a "Lonely Hearts" association for the benefit ,of the less socially-inclined Seniors. Though never a varsity sport participant, " Hoffy' ' has nevertheless supported some glittering remnants of St. Luke's original "Contrifugal Bumblepuppies," a f!y-by-night athletic team whose nicotine-stained members reach deep into St. Luke's history. With his optimistic perspective because he is his own felici tous self, Rod may look forward to immiqent success in life.

RICHARD K. KORTEGAST Weston Athletic Committee 2, 4 ; Coaches' Club 2, 3; Glee Club 2, 3; Baseball 2; Football 4.

Orie of the more animated and provincial (Weston) members of our Senior Class is Rick Kortegast, an inveterate story teller who manages to poke fun at each and every thing that his good-humored tastes seem to require. Neatly tailored and groomed, Tall Timber Kortegast is a standout in such St. Luke's institutions as the character-building football team and the bone-crushing smoker's struggles for some wee kiddo's basketball. Another of the tireless and sometimes rewarded supporters of SLS social whirls and this year's versions of a party, Rick's particular interests after graduation tend to lean toward a career on the high seas. Another ambition, one to be fuLfilled in the near future- a full growth of that suave golden moustache nurtured so long and futilely路 at St. Luke's.

EDWIN C. LAIRD, III New C~tnaan Debating Club 4; Chess Club, Vice President and Secretary 4.

Ned Laird has developed into quite a serious individual in his last year of high school, perhaps on the realization that he too had an important contribution to make to St. Luke's, perhaps as a reaction to those who would tend to doubt his serious motives, due to his studied, happy-go-lucky approach into the gaping jaws of responsibility rattled at every student now and then by Dr. Kidd. Debating, Chess, and Glee Clubs were Ned's extra-curricular stamping-grounds, organizations which received the boost of an experienced representabve in their midst, whether they realized it or not. Boyish good looks subdued by a pursed-lipped frown and artfullytilted spectacles, Laird will propel himself into discussions of economics, current events, and women, with not a little oratorical "go-power" and knowledge to draw upon. Curiously enough, all Ned's economic pronouncements have favored some obscure little telephone company, one of whose biggest boosters currently out in the sticks of New Canaan.

op~rates

JOSEPH F. LAYMAN Norwalk Chess Club 4; Athletic Committee 2, 3; Baseball 2; CADUCEUS Advertising Staff 4.

People who approach Mr. Layman with mixed feelings obviously haven't been around. There are no two sides to Jody; he's -

er -

rather well-rounded. In a

short three years Joe Layman has become what one might delicately allude to as the controversial type. A firmpurposed young man who has gradually attained his and others' ambition to put his point across without stabbing you with it, Jody has a keen perceptibility when it comes to an evaluation of human nature. The Senior Class must "in toto" thank and congratulate Jody for an outstanding performance under fire of the sometimes helpful, oftentimes rueful criticism of his peers. There are a lucky few who have permitted themselves to be won over ,by this magnanimous man from Norwalk, and they have thus been rewarded by an interesting and thoughtful friendship. It must not go unsaid that the Class of '62 has had a great deal of fun knowing Jody, and that everyone has been or become good sports all around.

DAVID S. MATTOON Weston CADUCEUS Photographic Editor 4; Senior Prom Committee; Fencing Club 4; Hockey 4.

Dave Mattoon is far and away the funniest and most gifted member of our class. If you have never heard one of his roaring recantations of another exciting chapter in the life of High-Flying David versus the LowFlying Law, you have only to pop another cigarette between the hungry lips to produce the real loquacious Dave, exuding his ever-present charm, with another wild tale, punctuated with even more frentic gesticulations, generously lubricated with grimaces and that curious nasal tone by which he usually represents the Voice of Authority, be it Dr. Kidd's or Mr. Skully's. Make no early morning or afternoon appointments with Mattoon unless you intend to stand a long vigil near the back stairs up from the kitchen, for "early to home and late for school" are emblazoned on .,,the Mattoon coat of arms. A writer of immense talent and experience, this year Dave has honored the Sentinel with several of his sophisticated adventures into verse. He possesses a literary talent which in all probability will be exhibited m, if it does not dominate, Dave's later life.

KRIS MERSCHROD W . Norwalk Athletic Committee 3, 4; Chess Club 3, 4; Debating Club Secretary 4; Radio Club, Vice- President 3; Sentinel 2, 3, Literary Editor 4; Football 4 .

Hands-down winner of the annual non-conformist's loving cup is mild-mannered Merschrod- 110 indulgences,

110

automatic milking machine, and no middle

name for Kris! People and events are taken strictly at face value by this sincere, polite, and talented Senior. Partcularly good-natured under all circumstances (even those diabolic moments in his school car when th ey cover his eyes and yell "Surprise 1"), Kris has paced his classmates in achievement in the more incomprehensible areas of higher mathematics and physi cs. One of the bulwark's of this year's strong football bench, Kris aga in displayed the interest and determination which characterize all his endeavo rs . Probably one of the, if not the, most well-balanced temperaments and perso naliti es of this year's g rad uates, M ersch has a long and consistent record of school activities and servi ce to his credit. Kris has evinced consid erable desire to become a veterinarian upon completion of the still more fruitful years at college.

RICHARD S. MEZAN Stamford Sentinel 1, 2, 3, Sports Editor 4; CADUCEUS Associate Editor 4; National Honor Society 3, Vice-President 4; Student Council 3, Secretary 4; Class Vice-President 2, 3,4; Senior Prom Committee; Coaches' Club 3; Baseball 2, 3, 4; Basketball 2, 3, 4; Football 2, 3, 4.

Rick Mezan is an enduring example of an allaround achiever. A standout in athletics, keen competitor in the great grades race, member in good standing of most of the more prominent school organizations and activities, he has attained that special, well-diversified balance which is the first requisite of a good college student, at the same time being the greatest gift that the "Hilltop," and all that goes with that name, has to offer. To the surprise of many, Rick has recently blossomed out into still other fields of endeavor, showing a sensitive artistic interpretation of the French language, and a keen-witted, pithy quality which pervaded his sports columns in the Sentinel. Easily identifiable as one of the boys, Rick's ideal evening would consist of a choice seat in front of a 24-inch screen, he being liberally supplied with scorched pizza and companions willing to put up with his off-beat sense of humor. Good luck at Cornell to an outstanding and well-received "good guy."

JEFFREY L. PALMER Westport Class Treasurer 1, 2, 3; Coaches' Club 2 ; Sentinel 4; Baseball 1, 2, 3, 4; Basketball 1, 2, 3, 4; Football 3, 4.

One of the charter members of the Senior Class, Jeff has managed to distinguish himself in all types of .athletics; through his endeavors on the field and in the gym, he has developed an acute sensitivity to the qualities of good sportsmanship. Few claim to have gained a complete understanding of just what makes Jeff tick. However, he has long been considered one of our more glittering examples of an individualist by certain members of the faculty, particularly Monsieur Graves, who attributes to Jeff a natural proficiency for the study and the usage of languages. Palmer has always been musically inclined, this deep-seated interest leading to his accompanying several popular bands at various New York engagements. His St. Luke's debut with his own group at last year's Junior Prom was another feather in the well stuffed Palmer cap. Although certain companions have withheld comment on Jeff's claim to the title of "Super Skier," we may accept Jeff's accomplishments in most other sports at face value. We shall all be hearing more of Jeff, whether it be from the fields of Nichols or the snowfields of upper New England .

RAYMOND S. PEARSALL, JR. Westport Athletic Committee 2, 3, Chairman 4; Coaches' Club 2, 3; CADUCEUS Managing Editor 4; Sentinel 3, 4; Senior Prom Committee 3; Junior Prom Committee 3; Glee Club 2; Kitchen Crew 2, 3, 4; Baseball 1, 2, 3, 4; Basket_ball2, 3, 4.

St. Luke's long-term investment ( 10 years) is that

jolly offshoot of the Pearsall clan-Rayme. Inevitably one of those behind the scenes or on the principal committees in charge of social and sporting occasions, Ray has one of the longest records of service to St. Luke's in such organizations as the kitchen crew and the Athletic Committee, serving also in the capacity of perambulating maintenance man during the months that Hilltop's red bricks shimmer in the summer sun. The engineer of this season's first successful Senior Party also provided his spacious playroom for the frantic assembling of this double-deadlined publication, on the staff of which he has given unstintingly of his managerial talents. Ray early this year became the first accepted college candidate, giving still further testimony to hi s rank as one of the more well-rounded and adaptable members of our class.

GARY M. PECKERMAN Stamford Glee Club 2; Junior Prom Committee 3; Sentinel 2, 3, Managi ng Editor 4; National Honor Society Corresponding Secretary 3, President 4; CADUCEUS Editor 4; Fencing Club 4; Football Assistant Manage r 4; Athletic Committee 4.

The crown prince of the Senior Class, Gary Peekerman, is an exceptionally likable, amiable and sociable fellow who may have left the most distinct impression upon his classmates, his school, and his teachers, of anyone in recent years. Gary is the one who has succesfully breached that depthless chasm of friendly relations between students and faculty. St. Luke's res id ent intellectual and roving ambassador, " Mike" Peckerman has lent his distinguished talents to such nerve-wracking offices as " Chief" of the yearbook and the Sentinel's Managing Editor with his characteristic ft a.ir for all th at is literary. His resonantly intoned voice may be heard to sing forth on any imaginable topic from English woven linen (yearbook cover) to Caravelle cars. Combining the favorable attributes of a gentleman and a scholar, Peck may set his bespectacled sights on almost any goal in life and make a huge success of it.

E. PETER PINZA Stamford Student Council 1, 2, 3, President 4; Class President 1, 2, 3; Senior :Prom Committee 4; CADUCEUS Art Editor

4; Baseball 1, 2, Captain 3, 4; Basketball 1, 2, 3, Captain 4; Football 1, 2, 3, Co-Captain 4.

It is indeed ironic that the most successful, outstand-

ing, and honored member of the Class of 1962 should be the least complex, most innately natural and friendly, outgoing young man imaginable, but such is the case with Pete Pinza. With a spi rit of leadership and driving motivation to make things go and to get things done (abi lities that aren't really characteristic of his nature, but rather affinities adopted and perfected simply because his peers very early began to turn to and rely upon him ) , Pete has spun for himself an unparalleled story of success in his eminently full career on the Hilltop. Few classes have been so fortun ate as to have such an inspiring individual in their midst. The still more curious aspect of Pete's tenure at St. Luke's is that far from remembering him for his manifold achievements and superlatives, it will only be remembered that Pete was "one of, if not tbe , Boys".

MICHAEL

RUNYON

New Canaan Student Council 3, Class Secretary 1, 2, 3, 4; Maroon Captain 4; Baseball I , 2, 3, 4; Basketball I, 2, 3; Football 2, 3, 4.

Few will forget the rollicking humor of "Wah" Runyon and his facial contortions, comical imitations and raucous voice. Past master in the development of the wise crack and the apt nickname, Mike has always well concealed his more serious side, on which he shows his keen awareness and sensitivity concerning our generation's problems. An extremly versati le athlete, Mike has shone particularly in his adopted role of varsity baseball catcher, an unaccustomed position in which he was an immediate success. Because of the lengthy duration of Mike's stay at St. Luke's, his opinions and decisions have served as valuable guides to his class in such areas as school policy on all manner of social and sports events. This well adjusted personality can only make a supreme success of his later life.

Stamford Class Treasurer 1; Coaches' Club 3; Kitchen Crew 1, 2, 3, Captain 4; Junior Prom Committee Chairman; Senior Prom Committee Chairman; Student Council 4; CADUCEUS Advertising Co-manager 4; Athletic Committee 3, 4; Basketball Manager 3, 4; Football 1, 2, 3, 4.

Ed Simmons can rightfully be called the pulse of the Senior Class. It is he who has most significantly engineered and promoted the major social events in the recent history of the Class of 1962. His single-mindedness and determination has earned for him the reputation of being the most dependable man around when there is any sort of serious work to be done. Anyone who wishes to tap the infinite resources of Ed's knowledge may expect to get a straight-from-the-shoulder answer. Undoubtedly one of the most tireless and energetic contributors to the many sided image of "Life on the Hilltop," Ed is not one to. remain behind the scenes for any period of time. You knew as you sat there gazing dreamily out the study hall window that at that very moment, somewhere within school limits, something was being done and being accomplished by that master mind of school service and quick-smiling "favorite son" who is affectionately and accurately referred to as "Big Ed. "

PETER C. SPELKE Stamford Athletic Committee 4; Football 3, 4.

Pete Spelke is one of those select few who have the ability to speak through their eyes. It's difficult enough to be nonchalant when you know someone is watching you, but when you turn and see those drooping, halfclosed eyes and that devious smile, you just know you are the sole source of the studied amusement of Peter Spelke. Otherwise plodding Economics classes are immeasurably brightened when Spelk sounds off on his favorite topic- aesthetically minded navy economists. Sole applicant to a college where half the tuition is just getting back and forth (Arizona) , Pete's hopes are high for becoming the ricipient of an athletic scholarship, an award of which he has certainly shown himself to be deserving. Another of the class's tale-spinning buffs, Spelk's have mainly to do with wine, women, and song, with the accent on flavor. Pete shows sig ns of developing into a highly skilled accountant in the future.

CHARLES A. P. STARTUP New Canaan CADUCEUS Advertising Staff 4; Basketball 3, 4; Football 3, 路 4.

Charlie's only desire at graduation is that he be remembered as the school's glowing example of that curious breed called the optimist. Consensus of opinion is that this expressive and out-going member could well make a fabulous career for himself in the television industry, his only drawback being that "melodious" voice. In essence, Charlie's main characteristic is his " rhythm;" he's always swinging with it, " twisting, " and carrying it along. Another of his talents is the originating of fads -bow ties, green shorts, shredded undershirts, and small cars driven at high speesd. His name itself is characteristic of his individuality, and is often the source of much amusement when juxtaposed with one like "Tugeau." Nothing ever seems to faze Charlie, and he will probably have the least difficulty of anyone in the transition to the responsibilities of college life.

JAMES WATT, III Stamford Football 2, 4.

Jim Watt is the type of person that you can't help liking. He is one of those who believes in having an extraordinarily good time in all his activities. Owner of a bri II iant and refined wit, Jim has constantly brightened otherwi se g loomy sufferers of th e pre-test and post-party blues. An uncompromisingly devoted Physics, Math and , formerly, French student, Jim is our most gifted proponent of the off-the-cuff ora l theme. One of those, and not without reason, who resorted to di etary ciga rettes during the football season, Jimmy is hardly one to throw his hefty weight arou nd . Littl e known to his classmates, Jim Watt has served conscienti ously as the Youth Group Officer who leads the charges to the weekend retreats. Jim wi ll make hi s future bright, whatever it might hold for him.

MICHAEL B. WATTERS Redding Ridge CADUCEUS Advertising Co-manager 4 ; Sentinel 3; Coaches' Club 3; Junior Prom Committee; Football Assistant Manager 3, Manager 4.

A thoughtful and amused individual is the softspoken and quick-witted Mike Watters. He is just as much interested in other people as in what they have to say, and can be likened to a candle of originality and sophistication in an enveloping darkness of confo rmity and routine. Mike has moved unobtrusively but effectively through the maze of activities and responsibilities which comprise the varied aspects of St. Luke's life. A gentleman of polite and soci able inclinations, W atters is particularly characterized by hi s impeccable personal appearance and relatively calm demeanor. He is a possessor of much common sense, and generally a good type to ask for advice as to whether something is being done properly or not. Some lucky college wi ll certai nly have snapped up this knowledgeable fellow before long.

DAVID S. WRIGHTINGTON Stamford CADUCEUS Executive Editor 4; Sentinel 3, Editor 4; National Honor Society 3, Secretary 4; Class Treasurer 4; Chess Club 4; Debating Society 4; Communism Class 4; Baseball Scorer 3; Basketball Manager 3.

A scurrymg form disappearing down the stairwell swinging a battered briefcase with a pen clamped fiercely at the side of his mouth, is probably the sole glimpse you would catch of Dave Wrightington between classes . A more stationary sedentary view might be had in Economics class, except that the front page of the most recent W all Street Journal obscures all but the top of hi s head! Known as the prolific mastermind behind the Sentinel's monthly appearance, Dave has spiced all class gatherings and parties with scintillating witticisms culled from perceptive observations of his classmates and teachers. Synonymous with Dave is his sense of devotion : to his homework, to his running graph of stock market coups , to the CADUCEUS, and to his cigarettes. An . advocate of conscientious preparation, Wrightington spends several hours and gallons of ink transcribing copious notes of the day. With such organizational talent and diligence, D ave shall surely excel at Yale and at Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner, . . . and Wrightington.

the sophomoRe class As we of the Sophomore Class progress through our careers at St. Luke's, we find that there are many changes in our membership. Our class is varied and presents a myriad of person alities and temperaments. When speaking of Sandak, one remembers primarily hi s dancing prowess and fiery temperament-one wonders if the latter stems from hi s red hair, but only hi s h airdresser knows fo r sure. Jay has as hi s compan ion in the Student Council Andy Bowman, who gave away his school ring the moment he received it. Th is is not to be held against him , however, for he and Cameron H ume, our class treasurer, both performed very ably on the football gridiron. Cameron, we might add, was one of the best linemen on a team composed mainly of Seniors. Dave Seidman is another of our number whose life is devo ted to sports, and whenever he has a minute off from studying Latin, he practices for the 1964 O lympi cs swim team in the bathtub in the bathroom by Mrs. Bailey's emporium . Dick King is our class p resident, hockey pl aye r, and sometime-chauffeur of that demon of the courts (basketball ) , AI Ciklin . Jim Gould and Joel Rosen are the typi cal men-about-New Canaan. Steve Wi encrot is secretary when he isn't busy helping hi s cousin, Chuck Axelrod, with hi s Latin . M cRae has great obj ection to the " Wi eland M ethod of Offensive Play in the Venerable Game of Chess," but despite hi s frust ration managed to delight the gallery in breathtaking duels with Bruce Lynn, a disciple of the "wait and see" technique. W e all en joy the representation of the Sophomore Class on the Smokers' Club by Mr. Ablitt ; why does n't he come more often? Tony Goit loves skiing and white whales almost. as passionate ly as Chase loves French . T here JS a rumor orculatwg

that Neil di scovered the secret of lasting youth-eating Beefaroni 1 That doesn't sound like a fact one might glean from Mr. Graves' French Class! People wonder whether the duels between our fencing experts- Jim Soper, George McKitterick, and Bill Boian-are for real. Another contest of some mag nitude is presently in progress between Colin McRae, the stron, silent type, and John Serena, the not-so- strong, not-so-silent type. French expert John Smith is our veteran weight-lifter and close companion to Jeff Thompso n, the happy-go-lucky fella who was the only non-Seni or in the exclusive S.L.S. Scuderia las t year. Littl e bits of miscellany: Vice-president Silberman is our much-needed honor roll student. This year we acquired two new pl aythings, Ed Kweskin and Fred Howe, who have become renown ed in their fie ld s of endeavor : Kwesky is a fancy dresser and loves St. Luke's with a purple passion, while Fred spins arou nd using hi s hockey stick as a maypole. Craig Kayser is th e class crusader for world peace; at the moment he is over in Italy to save the tower of Pi sa( ?) . Larry Larocque has his own ideas about education. H e thinks it onl y fair that students be paid to attend school. Roger Cole and Jim Gould both are li censed to drive arou nd hitting people and tell some very amusing fairy tales. Dick Putterman is too nice to say anyt hing about. Last but not least is Grant Monsarrat, who is now an integ ral part of the Hilltop scene and is Mr. Cooper's pet. We realize that the older we become, the heavier our respon sibilities shall be. We can only hope th at we meet them as well as the graduates of 1962. Good Luck. Seni ors I

As the Freshman Class buckles down to work, we realize that the hacking of our years in the seventh and eighth g rades should be behind us, and we reali ze that there are three years of hard work ahead of us, to be rewarded by entrance into college. Our school life is always challenging, often interesting, and never dull. Now we will introduce you to our happy little band . Berger and Don Telesco are the only new boys who have undertaken the conquest of the Latin lang uage. Little Telesco is the very antithesis in size of Pete Conovich, who is the most serious member of the class. As we advance from one grade to the next ( hopefully), we cannot help noti cing th at the work seems to multiply and become more diffi cult. Yet there are some members who displ ay their ability to ploug h throug h it as the work is p iled on , and among these are Sandy Kemp and Dave Tyler. All of us hope to be navigating this road in the near futur e. Forward looking is Jim Hodg ins, who already has hi s own TR-3 and has entered the latest reg ional contest, open on ly to those exclusive drivers under sixteen : " Who can drive the most without getting caught '" There are few sig hts during the football season whi ch are so thrilling as watching Ed G aiennie sprinting down the football field toward the other team's goal posts with the football secreted under hi s jersey. Speaking of sports, Andy H allock has divided his time and his talents between hockey and g iving rather erudite but evasive answers from hi s "mumble seat" in the back of algebra class. Ralph Dwyer is a rah-rah basketball fan , but only on the professional level, for by the end of gym class he is usually busily emp loyed with something else. The cl ass recently voted down a motion to find John Yeager, lost o n one of Stowe' s back trails since spring vacation. Just hold on until summ er, John ; someo ne is bound to find you . . . sometime. W e are happy and justly proud to be the first reporters to fi g ht the rumor that Rocco Cassone never studi es. " Never" is much too strong a term ; "seld om" is much better.

Miscellaneous bits and pieces of information not worth knowing: Jim Reffler has set the Ninth Grade Coke-drinking record of five a day. We guess that it's his dry sense of humor that hits the spot. Frank Post has added his grossly understated talent to the writing of this article, but most of the blame belongs to Kemp and T yler, however. Of course, no one could forget John Gorman, especially Mr. Graves. No one can figure out where Scott Brinckerhoff gets his amazing muscle power (maybe from standing day after tireless day on the steps leading from the kitchen in hope of begg ing or snitching some delectable morsel of food) , but he is the undisputed weightlifting champion of Mr. Whitcomb's gym classes. The class officers are Ed Tuni ck, Mark Burns, and Tyler. T weed le-dum and Tweedle-dee, Ed and M ark , are inseparable. Mark is on the Student Council and Ed drops in every once in a while to say Hi. Steve Calhoun is this year's uncontested champ of wafe r-bar eaters. And then there are Jack Miller and Bob Klein , the hap py cousins . While Miller struggles chroug h one of Mr. Graves' French no vels, Bob is slowly recoverin g from the initi al shock of English g rammar. The poor boy may be vis ited daily in the Convalescing Corner of the Room One Ward. Th e M ental H eavyweig ht Award , g iven to that class member who exemplifies the qualities of a Hilltop scholar, was awarded thi s year to not o ne but four. Each earned his award by excellence in different areas: Fritz Schautz, for attending all of Mr. M acD onald' s classes one day (demonstrates application to a task) ; D ave Snyd er, for diligently applying himself in Dr. Kidd 's stud y hall to the refinement of the nuances inherent in be ing a good conversationalist ( pursuit of excellence); W alt Pl aut, for "meritorious service rendered unto the Student Counci l" (proper sense of service to school); and Dearborn for being a silent partner in the whole mess (fortitude and taciturn manner) .

the class Our class is king-sized, having twenty-nine boys with only twenty-eight desks, but the teachers have the solution: They kick one boy out every day. Nevertheless, wheri the Eighth Grade piles into Room Five, it is certain that something will always happen. One of the larger eruptions occurred when some bright boy decided to do something else during math class and led a minor revolution to depose Chris Chamberlain , then president, who was absent that day. Thus Kevin Koon s replaced him by stuffing the ballot box, whi le Robert Fine, speaking softly and carrying a big stick, replaced Robert D ennison, who was trying to photograph the whole affair. Of course, nobody really minded , except Mr. Skully, for the class officers do nothing at all, excluding Pico Rankin , who clubs anyone with hi s hockey stick for not having paid hi s dues. Inspired by Mr. Copp, Francois White, our French scholar, portrayed T om Jefferson on tri al for hi s life, with Steve W rightington as Perry M aso n trying to take th at life. After Steve lost the case, hi s trumpetings could be heard for weeks afterward: ' 'I'm gonna appeaf l" Poor boy 1 Everyone in the Eighth Grade waits for eighth period , the witching hour, when there is another episode of "Bob Mac's Original Immature H our " with Buzz Friend M.C.ing (when he' s not playing " Pig" with the Coach). Some of the featured acts are : Craig Larsen, reverting to the primitive when pitted against the for ce of nature; Dennis Mikhael, holding a tete-atete with Steve Miner durmg an exceptwnally stnngent attack on courage by ye old e prof ; and Ch ri s H owson, whose boomerang won't come back, having 路hi s own private battle with a favorite monster. Speaking of monsters, here comes Ken St. Dragon ... er . . . Georg es , who has become quite skilled at drawing miniature behemoths.

dissected. John Relyea will take anything as long as it isn't fastened down and has to do with World War II. Carrying on his own private war (against school and compulsory education) , Matt Bowman, a vigilante in his own right, continually exasperates his teachers by refusing to make any mistakes. Another sheriff, this time of the slopes, is downhill ski champion Paul Mitchell , who has just returned from Chamonix, France, with a word to you all: "Duh, Bonjour." On the extra-curricular side there is D ave Jarvis, of fencing fame equal to that of Scaramouche. With many three letter men in our class, the only other unusual sport is the one favored by Bill Cochran - eating Chuckles. Mike Moore has been to many places in hi s life, but his most harrowing experience was his first French class with Mr. Cooper. Steve W ard , although he, too, is a new boy, has become Mr. Pearsa ll' s fast frie nd . Two of our boys born under the sign of the Southern Cross, Alec White and T ed Wilki e, are saving their Dixie Cups, for the South shall rise again! And then we have Robert Stillman, with all hi s local color, and Big Bob Bavier, sometimes called Viri (pronounced "weary") or the Deer. We understand that Bud Fanton is working on his Mad Bomber Jump Shot, so that he may make the Varsity next year. More power to you, Bud! Maybe the best does come last, and maybe it arrives in little packages, but let us call them egregious errors and let it go at that. However you say it, John West and H ank Schmidt form a good part of the class (one-fourteenth to be exact) . Lastly is Robert Golenbock, who needs no introduction _ . . or any closing for that matter. (Oh, come now. What kind of a remark was that? says he.)

o~ t967 To Dr. Kidd he' s known as Le Beau. To us he's known as Bam le Farge. Andrew Saxe does well in all his subjects-all but penmanship that is. Si, what makes you leave the table so often 1 Andrew Cibere has one favorite word-Duh! Donald Hill is the great type- especially when called upon. In our class we have one boy who can concentrate perfectly. His name is Billy Lewis. We now come to Chance Vought, the star quarterback of the Junior Grays. He threw three touchdown passes and ran in five times. Is there any special reason why you like history, Peter Copp I D avid Wolff can play real hard and sturdy, and he likes to initiate people. Bill Kuhns is a boy who will settle for any passing grade while Tom Adkins always manages to hand in his English assignment on time. Some people like cars , others like boats, but still others enjoy women as does Chuck Whitney. He has armor, he has crossbows, he has history in his backyard , but we have Dyk Berg. It seems as if he knows his histories; therefore, we'll pass Mark Dodge as a pro. Good Luck, Seniors, from the Seventh Grade .

Hello all' This is the great Seventh Grade of St. Luke's. We take pride in bringing the statistics about the class to you. In our class you could never find anyone more neat than Jerry Miller. If anyone disturbs Miller's hair, he nearly has a fit. Our President, Bob Jennings, is doing a fine job. We've had one class meeting all year. And then there's Bob Young. Bob has a knack of wanting to do a little extra studying after schooL He's not alone because Howard Plaut just happens to like after school studying also. What a funny coincidence! I had a better breakfast than you. I had a better breakfast than you 1 My name is Andy Eder. Chuck Haines, "You must learn your equivalents. Stay with us a while." Then there's Peter Morris. "But sir, every time I have to say a poem for you I get nervous. I can't help it, sir." Bob Wallace has one peculiarity. Every day he loses another book. Table 2 in the dining room owes a lot to Bob Gilbert. He has been the waiter every single day this year. You have to say_one thing about Bud Tunick though ; he keeps on trymg to 1mpose on Bob's job.

stubent counc1l event for all with any athletic inclinations. A contributing factor to our Council's success this year was our high spirit and our stirring motto--"Justice." The Seniors on our team were: five-year-veteran Pete Pinza, chairman; four-year-man Ri ck Mezan, our "reliable" secretary; Fred Glass , our lonel y treas urer, and anchor-man Ed Simmons. The Juni ors, hopefully, are good prospects for future leadership of the Student Council. They were Mike Stark, Bill Cibere, and D on Thompson. And y Bowman and Jay Sandak were our Sophomore members, while M ark Burns and Matt Bowman represented the Freshman Class and the Eighth Grade, respectively. We wish to thank the entire student enrollment for their valuable aid to our efforts in the form of cooperation and suport contributed to our mutual interests.

The main objecti ve of thi s year's Student Council, as in former years, was to maintain a maximum of order and discipline throughout the student body with the most aggressiveness and the least aggression. It must be said that we followed this code quite closely while still holding the faith which all our students must have in us to make our efforts successful. Some other fun ctions of the Student Council are: the conducting of the Christmas Dance, Athletic Banquet, and Field D ay, as well as the awarding of the Pat Thomas Football Cup. The 1961 Christmas D ance proved to be a social triumph , with a wonderful turnout and a "swingin'" group: Hugh Golden's Orchestra.

honOR SOC1â&#x201A;Źty Since its inception three years ago, the St. Luke's branch of the National Honor Society has pledged itself to uphold the principles upon which it was founded. To this end the Society has increased the field and scope of its program to embrace a series of lectures as well as tutoring sessions and discussion groups. Formed as an organization to promote scholarship, th e National Honor Society was establi shed in 192 1 by the N ational Association of Secondary School Principals; during its forty-yea r history, the Society has burgeo ned to membership of over 6,000 chapters in publi c and private schools across the country. A respected group and an impress ive achievement in any school, the Hilltop branch is comprised of those pupils in the Junior and Senior classes who have attained an average of B or better and who have evinced also qualities of leadership, character, and service. Selected by the faculty at the end of every semester, the Society has the foll owing Seniors in its ranks : Gary Peckerman, Presi dent; Richard M ezan, Vice-President ; D avid Wrig htingto n, Secretary. In September seven Juniors were elected: Jeffr ey Aron, Treasurer ; Andrew Adler, H en ning Heldt, Andrew Mitchell , M artin Pearsall , Franklin Ruben stein, and Michael Stark.

Of prime importance to the Society is the sharing of its scholarship abiliti es with those not so able . Under the g uid ance of Mr. Pearsall , the members have dilige ntl y applied th emselves and have vastl y expand ed the range of the Society's tutoring system, g iving outsid e help to over twenty-fi ve students during the first semester in Latin , French, Spanish , and Mathematics. Because of this add itional aid , many of the boys grasped their sub ject better and thus achi eved hig her marks. In add ition , the H onor Society has continued th e practice of inviting guest lecturers to speak on various subjects having common interest; this is done with the aim that St. Luke' s students may acquire a broader yet more detailed understanding of the wo rld at large. In conjuncti on with classroom discussion, a well developed program of speakers is an invaluable ai d to a recogniti on of some of the problems ex isting in our world , the adva ncements of our society. Everything that men do stems from some pre-und erstood concept or thought which , o nce acquired and utilized , is knowledge. It was Ben Franklin who said that an invest ment in knowledge pays the best interest, and it is in the sp irit of instilling a desire for it th at St. Luke's Honor Society h as its f oundations.

cabUCâ&#x201A;ŹUS Constructing a yearbook is not unlike erecting a skyscraper: both consume g reat amounts of materials and hard labor. They are both buildings : one of paper, the other of steel. And both are memorials to those who built them : one to the power of Man' s mind over words, and the other to the power of M an over the products of nature. Both can be depressi ng, exciting, or tiring; yet transcending all thi s is the fact that they are las ting. With thi s last fact in mind the CADUCEUS was written and put together, and because of this fact we forgot all the frustrations and troubles whi ch seem to plague all circumstantial projects, on ly remembering that the CADUCEUS is our last tie with the school we love. The Editorial Board was headed by Gary Peckerman as Editor, with D avid Wrighting ton Executive Editor, Richard Mezan Associate Editor, and Raymond Pearsall Managing Editor. M eetings were held well before school opened to plan and to coordinate ideas ; the yearbook evolved slow ly at first but faster as the staff gained experience. Nothing cou ld have been accompli shed, however, without the help and drive of the Business Board , for a yearbook cann ot fun ction without money. As Business Manager, Robert Ficks gave up many Saturdays to work on the bills and finan cial records of the adverti sements. Mich ael W atters and Edward Simmons gave unstintingly of their time and effort; as co-advertis ing managers they divided Fairfield County in half , Ed taking New Canaan and Darien east-

ward, and Mike reigning over everything to the west. Thoroughness was their motto, and it is to this trio's resources that the CADUCEUS was paid for almost entirely by solicited advertisements. They were assisted by Fred Glass, Ken Fleming, Duncan Burne, Jody Layman, Jeff Palmer, Pete Ashe, and Kris Merschrod. Peter Pinza, excelling in whatever he attempts, led the art staff , and along with Henning Heldt did all the caricatures. H enning is responsible for all sports art work, while to Bruce Bucciarelli go the laurel s for our frontispiece . Dave Mattoon was Photography Editor; on his staff were Jeff Palmer, from whose camera came most of the candids, and Jay Sandak, whose excellent action shots grace the athletic section . All of those mentioned above did a commendable job of harmoni ously working together to publish this year's CADUCEUS, but there were others who have gone unmentioned but not unthanked. The list is long for it includes the entire student body; the yearbook is a joint effort by and for the school. Parents, too, must be mentioned for they gave us room for our meetings, fed us, and supplied constructi ve criticism and helpfu l advice ; to these go our most heartfelt thanks . To our facu lty advisor, Dr. Kidd, goes the app reciation of the whole Senior Class. It is said that the proof is in the pudding; therefore, read on in this 1962 CADUCEUS, the Senior Class' last fond view of its d ~ys on the Hilltop.

Dame Fortune smiled on St. Luke's g ridiron this season for the first time in many years. Showing talent and a desire to win, under the direction of a new coach, Richard Whitcomb, the team copped the league championship for one of its most successful seasons, compiling a record of five wins and two defeats. The season's stati stics, however, show that luck was not a factor in the Hilltop's showing. Three years ago Mr. William Cibere, coach of the team for twenty years, began developing a group of young freshmen and sophomores well versed in the fundamentals of good football. Mr. Cibere retired as coach of the team this yea r, but it was these players whom h e taught and drilled who formed the core of this yea r' s squad . The result of Mr. Cibere's forethought and Mr. Whitcomb's talents as a leader of players and tremendous knowledge of the game was the Saints' most successful season in recent yea rs . The team began its drill early in September with twentyfour candidates appea ring for the first practice. Physical conditi on ing was th e first important facet of practice, but soon the coach began working on building a well-rounded team . In the backfield Rick Mezan and Pete Spelke at halfbacks and Pete Pinza at fullback , all with three yea rs experience, provided a strong running attack, and Doug Wright playing quarterback, during hi s first yea r on the team, proved more than capable in leading the air attack. The powerful line was led by Mike Run yo n, Fred G lass, Duncan and Cameron Hume, Bob Ficks, Jim W att, Ken Fleming, and Charlie Startup. Ed Simmons was an adept defensive back.

After falling behind 10-0 , St. Luke's fo ug ht back, dri ving toward the goal line several times.

Wilton 26 - St. Luke's 6 An under-dog Big Red team fell to state champions, W ilton High, 26- 6.

St. Luke' s 14- Rippowam 8 Frid ay, October 13, proved lucky for St. Luke's, as they broke an eight-game los ing streak and defeated Stamford 's new high school 14-8 . With the W arrior' s of Rippowam leading 8 -0, struck back with a drive capped by Spelke's jaunt into the end zone. The two extra points tied the game.

St. Luke's 20- King 8 The M aroon and Gray next turned their wrath on the Kingsmen to th e tu 路te of 20-8. Th e victory was the first step toward the Big Th ree Championshi p. The first half was a defensive battle with neither team yielding any g round , but the Saints came back hard and fas t to smother King's hopes for an upset. Wright' s passes hit their marks to ends Startup and Fleming , and halfback Ri ck Mezan broke th rough the Coloni al Roader' s lin e for two touchdowns following the h ard blocking of the hard-hitting Hume brothers.

St. Luke's 26- Bethel 8 Bethel High proved to be the third straight victim of the Saint Luke' s Eleven, 26-8. With the defense sparkling once aga in, the Saints scored twi ce in the second quarter. Fleming made a diving catch of Wrig ht's pass into the end zone, and M ezan capped a sixty-two-yard drive with a plunge over the double stripe. In the second half Fl eming made it two touchdowns for the day, and "Big Ed " Simmons gathered in a punt and ran sixty-fi ve yards untouched into the end zone. Once again Bethel's score came with the reserves in during the fin al seconds. St. Luke's 28- Ridgefield 6 St. Luke's clobbered Ridgefi eld High, 28-6, in a rough game called in the third quarter because of darkness. The opening tally was a seventy-nine ya rd sprint up the middle by Pete Pinza led by strong blocking . The conversion was good. Ridgefield fought back to score and tighten the game, but not for long. A second touchdown was scored on a fiftyone yard pass play from Wright to Fleming . With darkness gathering in the second half, Pinza became the third S.L.S . player to score twice in one game with another long tally. The final score came as Charlie Startup climaxed a drive with a run arou nd the end for fifteen yards . Charlie was a sparkplug all year on offense and defense .

St . Luke's 12- Brunswick 6 Coach Wh itcomb and hi s charges ended the season with a stir ring victo ry over arch -rival Brunswick, 12-6 . This was certainly a great team victory with eleven men equally responsibl e f or the win . The first half was a scoreless duel with St. Luke's manufac turing one good d ri ve to the Bruin's goal line whi ch was onl y to end with a costly fumble on a pitchout from Wrig ht to Spelke. M ark Kramer recovered a key fumbl e in th e third quarter whi ch was turned into a touchdown by M ezan on a handoff off tackle. In th e fourth p eriod Pinza romped forty-six yards for the insurance touchdown . A long seventy-ya rd pass accounted fo r the Bruins' only score.

vaRSity BasketBall summaRy

Typical of this year's varsity squads, the St. Lukers' finally captured the Private School League Basketball Championship after having finished a close second for the past three years. Under the excellent coaching of Richard Whitcomb, the team members took a short breather of scarcely a week after the rigors of football before turning their full support and attention to basketball. And support it they did. The new coach was hardpressed selecting the best from the large group seeking a place on the team, for all the candidates were skillful. Within a few short weeks the Coach had developed a fast, hustling squad eager to meet the improved competition throughout the league. Captained by returning letterman Peter Pinza, the Hilltoppers finished the season with an overall record of 11-3 and a league tally of 10-2. The season opened successfully at the Stamford Armory against Roosevelt as the Lukemen chaulked up a 56-26 victory. The starting lineup had Mike Stark and Doug Wright at guards, Joe Callaway and Pete Pinza at forwards , and Mike Cowenhoven in the center position. Wright lead the team with thirteen points. After defeating Cherry Lawn in the first home contest (Callaway and Pete Ashe leading the team with thirteen and twelve points, respectively), St. Luke's played Central Catholic High of Norwalk in a non-league contest only to suffer a disappointing defeat. ~~-;;.,~;oo>,:~ . ' "'' " 4,.fter moving out to a fast lead, the Saints saw the tide slowly turn in each quarter until =-o~\~-""- the sco~e was tied at 46 at the final buzzer. In an overtime period the ~edmen fell despite 路 Wnght s excellent performance m smkmg seven field goals and tallymg mneteen pomts ~ plus路 Caflaway's ten. The score was a heartbreaking 48-46. The next\ t;,Q. games were against two of the top teams in the league and served as rugged tests pf t'\e team's ability. The St. Luke's five easily defeated last year's champion, Hamden Hal~ ~Y, the tune of 51-36. It was Mike Stark who amassed sixteen points, followed by W right and Pinza with nine and eight. The team next went on to trounce a scrappy Brunswick five, 68-51. In both contests the Hilltoppers were lead by the StarkWright combination, which consistently proved itself one of the strongpoints of the team. The Saints revenged their sole previous defeat in a night game with Norwalk Catholic. The result was an astounding 41-39 victory and an excellent team effort. Stark turned in one of the best performances of the year, not only by scoring seventeen points but also by rebounding regularly. The Lukemen met each Central assault with steady and deadly shooting. Coach Whitcomb's charges continued to roll, running their winning streak to seven games by defeating King, Cedar Knolls, Roosevelt, and Cherry Lawn . The outcome of the contest with Cedar Knolls was most important, for that squad was the only other unbeaten one. In addition to the excellent performances by the starting lineup in each of these games, the Big Red proved to have excellent reserve strength in Seniors Charlie Startup, Ray Pearsall, Pete Ashe, Jeff Palmer, and Rick Mezan. The sixth man on the second squad was a sophomore, Alan Ciklin, who throughout the season proved himself to be a future court star. The first league loss was experienced at the hands of the Bruins of Brunswick, whose new type of pass baffied the Lukemen as they trailed to a 42-5 2 defeat. The next two games found the Saints once again hitting the mark as they marched over King and Hamden Hall. During the contest against arch-rival King, Doug Wright provided the electrifying performance of the season, scoring thirty-one points and rebounding consistently .. The other half of the Junior combination, Mike Stark, scored twenty-four points the next day in the Red's defeat of Hamden Hall, 51-45. Pinza and Ciklin never let the opposition take a breather with their hard, driving play. It was unfortunate that the varsity basketball season had to draw to a close with a loss to Cedar Knolls, 44-50, but the home team courtsters had already clinched the league championship. Coach Whitcomb was extremely pleased with the team's performance throughout the year and holds equally high hopes for next year's squad.

hockey

For the first time since 1945 , the Hilltop has had a fourth varsity sport, hockey. Under the able direction of Mr. Cibere and Mr. Skidd , the sport had attracted enough members to evolve as the second largest squad on campus. Twenty boys, most of whom did not participate in other varsity contests went out for and made the team. All were given instruction during the practices held at our home ice, the Crystal Rink in Norwalk. The record for this revival year stands at 5-5 with one tie. On the clear, frigid night of January 11 , St. Luke's puckchasers, led by Captain Bill Cibere, Pico Rankin, and Dick King edged out a strong New Canaan six at the New Canaan Winter Club. For many members of the student body, it was the first serious ice hockey contest they had witnessed, but after this game "saves," "icing," "crease," and "penalty box" become familiar words around school. The final score for the game stood at 3-2, with Rankin, King and Sandy Gordon scoring. Left wing: King, J im DePierro, Gordon; center: Rankin, Dave Coe; right wing: Dave Matoon, Pete Bell ; defense : Cibere, Mark Kramer. The second encounter with arch-rival King proved to be the team's second victory, with every player participating. The pucksters strove for an early lead, scoring three goals in the opening period so that a trounce was soon apparent. The first tally was an angle shot by Pete Bell which swept

102

by the dazed King goalie. Scores by Coe and Rankin followed in rapid succession. Cibere's quick shooting accounted for the lone goal in the third quarter, but both M attoon and Rankin slipped elusive pucks past the Kingsmen's goalie. Final score was 6- 2. First line : M attoon, Rankin, Bell, King, Burns; second : Gordon, Coe, Kirsten, Cibere ; third : Plaut, Kramer, Rick Howe, D ave Piersall , Sy Lupton. The next three contests were not so successful as were the first. Brunswick's hard playing and polished teamwork were too much 路for the valiant Red men as they went down to defeat 3-0. The game with N orwalk Catholic was di sappointing as it terminated 3- 2; the team seemingly brooded too much on the Bruins' win . Brien McMahon also lived in the shadows, and it was a decisive blow to the team's pride to lose 2-1. Let it be said th at none of th ese games were pushovers for the opponents, however. All the members of the first team must路 be congratulated for their outstanding performances, but special recogniti on must be given to competent goalie Mark Burns, who made close to thirty saves during the McMahon game alone. The following five matches evened out the record. We washed over King once again, defeated the Brunswick squad in an electrifying contest, and conquered N ew Canaan once again. We tied in a third battle with Brunswi ck, a game which we actually would have won had the referee seen Mattoon's goal before the Bruin goalie managed to kick it out. Two losses to St. Mary's and Norwalk ended the season. With less practice than teams many years our seniors, the Hockey Team acquitted itself well, and their record of 5-5 and one tie is an admirable affidavit that the team has the material and enthusiasm it needs to make a winning season next year in hockey.

seconb place

A winning baseball team must have the basic elements of ability, spirit, pitching, hitting, and defense, and the St. Luke's baseball team certainly possessed each of these items at different times during the season. U nfortunately due to unexplainable ci rcumstances, Coach Raymond Valus and hi s charges fi nished in a disappointing tie fo r second place behind their omni present nemesis, King School. The team fini shed ti ed with Brunswick and showing a 6 w in-4 loss league record w ith a 6-5 overall record . Before the beginning of what proved to be a di sastrous season, everyo ne who cared to look into the future saw a powerful , experi enced St. Luke's squad ready to put the icing on the H illtoppers' most successful sports yea r. Mr. Valus worked hard throughout the season, displaying an enormous store of pati ence whi le waiting for the Saints to come out of the doldrums, but nothing seemed able to coordinate and brin g out th e new- inert talent whi ch many of the team members had demonstrated during three- and f ouryear va rsity careers. T he starting lineup f or the opening game boasted six seniors and three juniors, all of whom had at least two

106

years experience. The team was composed of: Mike Runyon, catcher; Jeff Palmer, first base ; Ri ck M ezan, second base; Ken Fleming, third base; Doug Wrig ht, shortstop; Ray Pearsall, left field; Pete Pinza, center fie ld ; Don Thompson, right field; and Mike Stark on the mound. The opening game seemed to set the tone for the whole season as the St. Luke's nine fell to arch-rival King, 8-7. The Colonial Roaders opened up a qui ck four -run lead in the top of the first on two hits, an error, and two walks given up by starting pitcher, Stark. After tallying once in the bottom of the second, the Lukemen exploded with six runs in the third to move ahead, 7-4. The rally was marked by two errors, a walk, a single by Pearsall, doubles by Palmer and Runyon , and a homerun by Fleming. In the sixth and seventh frames , however, King once again took advantage of surprisingly weak fielding and wild pitching. They scored four times to win 8-7. The only non-league game of the season against Norwalk Catholic Hig h on ly added to the general misery as the Lukemen blew a 7-0 lead and fell to an astonished Norwalk team. Pinza and Stark, the two pitchers, again suffered from wildness. Although the pitching was off, the Lukemen hitting continued at a torrid clip. St. Luke's broke into the winning column with a 15-2 romp over Hamden Hall at St. Luke's. Alan Ciklin and Doug Wright combined to pitch the victory with Pearsall, Palmer, Pinza, and Stark collecting nine of ou_r twelve hits . All signs showed an end to the bad start as the Big Red traveled to Daycroft and scored a 16-7 slaughter. It seemed that everyone hit and everyone pitched in this game as Coach Valus's pitching lineup consisted of Stark, Wright, Ciklin, and . Fleming on the mound. The Lukemen met a more serious opponent at Greenwich in the Bruins of Brunswick. They left with a key 8-5 victory. Mike Stark gave his best performance of the season, striking out eleven while Ray Pearsall, continuing his clutch hitting, picke~ up three hits, followed by Wright, Stark, and Ciklin with two apiece. The turning point of the season and the biggest game of the year was the return engagement with King on May 4 in Stamford. Pete Pinza started for St. Luke's against King's superb pitcher Jimmy Mack. In the top of the second Mezan was hit by a pitch , Run yon singled, Wright walked, and Pearsall was called out on strikes. The rally continued with singles by Palmer and Ciklin, and the Hilltoppers led 3-0. The crucial blow was suffered by S.L.S. morale in the bottom of the fourth when the King pitcher drove a ball into the hig h g rass of right field and circled the bases driving in three runs. The Lukemen had scored twice, and the game turned into a fiasco as both teams scored wildly. Gary Mintz of King led the assault with two

107

doubles, and after th e dust had settl ed, King had shattered St. Luke's hopes with a 14- 11 victory. After rebounding w ith a 15-1 6 win over Cherry Lawn and a 23-9 conquest of H amd en H all , th e Big Red' s bats continued red-hot in a 19-4 decision ove r D aycroft. People wondered if it were possibl e for the Lukemen to catch the fl ying Kingsmen. Brunswick scorched all hopes of a championship as th ey upset the Hilltoppers 4-3. In a comp lete reversal of previous showings the batting was medi ocre and the pitching excellent in the able hands of Mike Stark. The season end ed with a 4-3 loss to Cherry Lawn . After going through an entire season with strong hitting in some games and stro ng pitching in others but not both in any one contest, the S.L.S. spirit and will-to-win was conquered. All that may be said is that the team lost to an opponent they could easily h ave beaten. In baseball , perfo rmance is largely measured by stati stics. Without remini scing about reasons for th e record or speaking of individual performances anymore, th e f oll owing is a composite p icture of the team's show ing. Pete Pin za was the team captain , and Ray Pearsa ll was chosen the most valuable player for hi s clutch performances.

Not so lucky were the doubles of Fu ll er and Go rd on, an d Golenbock and Kw eskin ; w hil e Golenbock, Go rd on, K emp, and K wes kin 'Yere defeated in sing les.

"June 7, 1962." The date remains to the Class of 1962 The First Congregati onal Church of New Canaan.

a sweet, fond remembrance, a joyous day- the day they g raduated . Seeming ly everything was in comp lete harmony with their private feelings and emotions of elation , so lemnity, and satisf acti on, for even the weather cooperated, brightening the town, dapp ling shade, and illuminating the corners of the spanking white inter ior of the First Congregational Church of New Canaan. No one thought of the world, of President Kennedy, of Laos ; all was delight and happiness. The exterior world with all its made ning crowds and continual bustle shrank away from them, and they were much too preoccupi ed with thoughts of an eventfu l morning to worry about other's probl ems. By 9:30 the twenty-eight were slipping into the robes whose voluminous folds and mand arin sleeves cou ld never completely mask their effervescent good-humor. T en o' clock stealthily approached; suddenly it was time to form the

commencement exeRCISeS

procession whose serpentine wandering wou ld whisk them down the aisles past the eyes of their fr iends and students to their seats on either side of the pulpit. With Mr. G raves at the keyboards of the pipe organ, they remained standing as the audience joined them in singing the Star Spang led Banner, before the Reverend Claude W. Peters deli vered the invocation. Bob Ficks then read I Corinthians 13 , with the Lord 's Prayer and Dr. Kidd's welcoming remarks following after. The graduates-to-be sat through thi s quietl y: with the rea lization that this was their g rad uation ceremony slowly penetrating their euphoria. But two among them were not so easy-Dave Wrightington , the Valedictori an, and Gary Peckerman, the Salutatori an, whose turns to speak were next. "Stones Turned and Unturned" was the title of Gary's talk, an analogy between the problems of urban renewal and intellectual stimulation; while David 's " Lifetime of Purpose" was an interesting commenta ry on imagination as the force generating a lifetime stimulation for the betterment of mankind. The seniors listened well, for both speeches were excellently prepared and clearl y presented. Mr. Knechtle then introduced Dr. John Laurence Kulp, a professor of geochemistry at Columbi a, who spoke on the problems the graduate inh erited and some poss ible solutions for them. Now the twenty-eight could not longer be contained by their world of the present; they had to look up and recognize what grave responsibi lities awa ited them . However, reality di~ not mar all of their wo rld , and after the commencement address they gathered the shards and built themselves a new one. With the awarding of the prizes their spirits improved immeasurably. The time was drawing near when the p re-

Senior Prom Week-End is a misnomer for the parties and shindigs that continued throughout the next week. Anyway you cut it, though, the Seniors enj oyed themselves, the parties and their dates. The schedule was hectic and tight, but they managed to stagger through it all. For posterity and our children, we now set down "The Lost Week. "

Swi ngin路 with the Seni ors .

June 2, 1962- We're beat! Been decorating furiously for the prom all morning, rushing home in the heat of the afternoon to pick up date's flowers, get into that studded outfit, and be over at Fred Glass's for cocktai ls and dinner. ( Later) The dinner was terrif! We had a great time before leaving for the Prom. D anced to the music of Tony Chirco and his band when they weren't taking a break. The decorations look wonderful with just the spots turned on. There are flags and posters of all sorts of exotic places. W onder how this poster would look at college . . . (Still later) Wow! What a party Dave Mattoo n threw. Never have I heard more noise in one place in my li fe. However, the psychiatrists tell us that it's a phenomenon common around this time of year. They call it Graduation Fever. June 3, 1962-H aving another cup of steaming coffee on the Peckerman's terrace to stem the headache. The day dawned bright and cl ear; I should know-we were just getting i路n. Those miserable birds! It's afternoon now and here we are having a swim at Duncan Hume's place. Pete Pinza and Bill Cibere are tak ing it slow; in fact, they still have n't recovered from that slight nap they took in the sun at Gary's. The water's fine-bracing, really-and the hamburgers that Mrs. Humc: put out are practically gone. Night and over to the "Fleming-at-Fuller's-on-Cascade" party. Not too many dates here, just Pete Lombardo the Cop and plenty of beer. Kenny's trying to get Mike Runyon to quit his job as volunteer bartender and take a rest. H ah, Hah . Whoops ...

June 7, 1962-Commencement' s finally here! I can hardly believe it, the day seemed so distant and unapproachable. After listening to all those speeches I feel like I'm ready to face whatever the big, bad world is ready to throw. It's 1:30 and here most of us are at Rockrimmon Country Club, enjoying a full steak dinner, the pool, the steam room as guests of Rick Mezan, Pete Pinza, and Pete Spelke. Some spread. I think I'll have another dessert. June 8, 1962-All grown up now and testing my hand at golf at Silvermine as guest of Jody Layman. Jeez, what a spastic. Just swung seven times and finally managed to piddle the ball three feet. Have to practice if I want to beat Ed Simmonls. Only the second time he's ever held a club and he gets a freak hole-in-one. Maybe when I'm fifty ... Nighttime and the bugs ( Caravelles, Volkswagons, Fiats) are swarming to the light and gaiety pervading the Michigan Road area around Ned Laird's. The band is out of this world and my spine is out of joint. Oops there's the phone again; another neighbor wants us to can the music. June 9, 1962-The dulcet flutings of Seidman's band are rolling invitingly out from behind Mike W atter' s house. The marquis is pink and white and harmonizes well with the azur blue from the pool down the hill. They've laid up enough food for an army. Guess Peck's trying to help out. Here he comes for thirds . It's been a wild week ; we must try thi s again sometime!
