When we, the members of the class of 1958, were first confronted with the mighty voice of Raymond S. Pearsall, we felt awed in his presence, yet more important, respectful. As the years passed by, we were impressed not so much by his strong and forceful character but by his friendliness in leadership, for he was always ready not only to guide us in our activities but also to help us along the rough path of learning. Therefore, we are proud to dedicate this issue of the Caduceus to him, our class advisor and true friend .

SENIORS

WILLIAM I. ADLER W eston Sentinel 4 ; Glee Club 4; Basketball 4; Baseball 2,4.

WILLIAM 1. ADLER Bill, whose dry sense of humor and friendly nature have won him many friend s, has shown his athletic ability during the basketball and baseball seasons, while his knowledge of music has contributed g reatly to the success of the Glee Club. H owever, he is probably best known for starting the "Centrifugal Bumblepuppy Team" at the Hill top, he being the captain and the key player, the centrifugal center. Bill has great leadership quality, which he has demonstrated at the senior "round " table after lunch. He should have no trouble with life, and we know he will do well in whatever business he enters.

WILLIAM BAGGALEY N o rw alk Caduceus, Editor 4; Senrinel 3,4; Football 3.

WILLIAM BAGG ALEY Bill jo ined us in our freshm an year at St. Luke's, and if it were necessary to pl ace him inro a specific category, he would be classified as the quiet type wit h a definite goal in life, H e shows marked enrhusiasm tOward his studies, ma inly in history, which explains his major inrerest archaeology . He appears to be earnest in all he does, and his talenr for accomplishing th ings to perfection is recogni zed by his being chosen ed itor of this yearbook. In conclusion, we feel that the great quanri ty of knowledge that Bill possesses is certainly enough to carry him tOward some hig h position.

HASTINGS BAKER N orwalk Class President 3; Srudent Council 3; Treasurer 4; Sentinel , SpOrtS Editor 4; FoOtball 2,3, Captai n 4; Bas ketball 2,3,4; Baseball 2, 3,4.

HASTINGS BAKER One of the more athletic members of our class, Smokey will always be remembered for his spectacular performances on all of our team s, hi s rather dim view of blind dates, and the people who arrange them. Although an essential participa nt in all bull -sessions, he has also proved him self to be a co nsc ientious srudenr. His interest in school affa irs was rewarded by hi s be ing elected treasurer of the Student Coun cil thi s yea r, but he has been a member of that orga ni zat ion, as well as many Others, for many yea rs. With his cheerful personality Smokey should have no trouble mastering his future.

CHARLES P. BETTS Darien Football 1,2,3,4; Athletic Committee 2,3.

PETER BETTS Pete has show n a prodig ious amo unt of school sp irit in everything which he has done at St. Luke's, whet her it be in class or on the gridiron . Owing to his love of the water, Pete has made sa iling his hobby and is consequently no novice in this ski ll-requiring sPOrt. H owever, Pete is the possessor of anOther very important quality-the ab ility to keep at a p rojec t until he has succeeded in compl eti ng it to the best of his ability. With your loyalty and persistence, Pete, we know that you will succeed in your chosen voca tion, whether it be yac htsman or Wall Stree t financier.

MICHAEL CLARK Stamford Class President 1,2; Student Council 1,2,4; Athletic Committee 2; Senior Prom Committee 4; Coaches' Club 4; FoOtball 1,2,4; Baseball 1,2,4.

MICHAEL CLARK After an absence of one year, Mike rejoined our class this year and thus re-established himself as one of the "big wheels" at the school. Because of his wit and amusing nature, Mike has become a favorite with almost everyone. Although he is of an easy -going nature, he is a first-string man on most of our varsity teams. Mike's talents lie in the field of economics, and he will probably enter into business upon graduation from college. Everyone certainly wis hes him a great deal of luck and success, but being what he is, how can he fail ?

GEOFFREY P. DODGE W eston Glee Club 3,4; Athletic Commirree 4; Basketball 4; Baseball 3,4.

GEOFFREY DODGE Since he joined us in our junior year, Geoff has made a lasting impression on St. Luke's life. When he first arrived , his black M.G. was noticed by all, and soon he himself became known for his fine voice and outstanding musical abilities. His effortS on both the basketball and baseball teams have been greatly appreciated, and he also is an important member of the Glee Club, as he was one of its founders. We are sure that Geoff's great achievement in the past is a strong indication of what he is bound to do in the future.

JAMES B. FRANKLIN Stamford Sentinel 4; Glee Club 4; Athletic Committee 4.

JAMES FRANKLIN Jim has unobtrusively wandered through his two years at the Hilltop, g iving a helping hand whenever one was needed. H e is know n for his quiet, effici ent method of completing his tasks and his willing ness to help Other people. H e has served with g reat meri t as a member of the A thletic Committee, and his fin e voice has m ade him a valuable acqu is ition of the G lee Club. Jim plans to go into engineeri ng and thus apply his skill in math and p hysics to a profession that needs many m en of his type; we w ish him the best of luck in the years to come.

JOHN R. GALLAVAN N ew Canaa n Glee Club 3,4; Athletic Committee 3; Coaches' Club 4; Basketball 3,4; Baseball

2,3,4.

JOHN GALLAVAN Since joining our ranks in the fourth grade, John's quiet manner and his desire to make good have made him a cred it to our class and to the school. His hunt ing stories and ability at rolling cigarettes should not be forgotten, although they might be slightly over-shadowed by the memories of his rousing oral themes. John's natural capabilities as a writer have gai ned a place for him on the Sentinel staff, while his work on the Athletic Committee' and his service on 'X.P." have both been invaluable. With this record of achievement, John should have no trouble reali zing his later ambitions.

NEIL E. GREEN N orwalk Caduceus 4; Glee Cl ub 4; Athletic Committee 2; Football 1,2,3; Baseball 3,4.

NEIL GREEN Just as fun-l oving in cl ass as on the outsid e, N eil's humorous remarks and ges tures have oft en add ed ga iety to an Ot herwise sombre peri od. N eil 's fin e personali ty plus hi s good work on the business board of the CADUCEUS have endeared him to many. His fi ne record as a gy m instructOr and member of the kitchen crew must not be overlooked. Neil is also and arde nt foOtball and baseball player ; he has been a stalwart lineman on the foo tball squad for twO seasons and has do ne well at it. Due to his spirit and roll ick ing na ture, Ne il will eas il y surmount all futur e hurdles.

BRUCE D. HAIMS Stamford Caduceus 4 ; Sentinel 3, SportS EditOr 4; Athletic Committee 3,4; Football 4; Basketball Manager 4; Baseball 2,3,4.

BRUCE HAIMS Ever since Bruce joined our class, he has been known as a person who loves an argument. Affec tionately called "Boobs" by those who know him, Bruce has shown himself to be a very active organizer with a talent for accomplishing things. He holds the nerve-wracking jobs of managing most of the varsity teams, and he is also an active member of the Athletic Committee. Bruce has shown this drive in all his studies, especi ally in economics class, where he conducts a regular stock exchange. H aving aspirations of entering into the world of high fin ance, his passion for efficiency will carry him a long way.

DA VID G . HAMBLEN Norwalk Caduceus, M anag ing Ed itor 4; Sentinel, Fea ture Editor 4 ; G lee Club 3,4.

DA VE HAMBLEN D ave and his famo us red jacket have become familiar sights in the St. Luke's corridors during the last three years. D ave, who is of an easy -going nature, has ye t g iven his all for the Hill top. H av ing great potential as a student, he ranks amo ng the top in the class, and his other natural capabili ties have won him h igh places on m any of the school com mi ttees-HThe Sentinel" and the CADUCEUS, juSt to mention a few . In the summer D ave spends most of his time water-skii ng. Voted "m ost likely to succeed", D ave will find that th is will come true if he continues his Outstanding work.

CHRISTIAN D . JENSEN Ridgefield Sentinel 4.

CHRISTIAN JENSEN The "wordless wonder" of our group, Chris has continuously shown himself to be one of the most matu re members of our class. Although he is rather shy by nature, he is popular and well-thought-of. Chris has amazed us with his profound knowledge of sports cars, both foreign and domestic. N ot only does he know about them, but he can also handle them. Chris, we leave it to you to choose between designing new models or setting a new world speed record, but whichever you choose, we know that you will do your best.

JOHN W . KORTEGAST Wescon Sencinel 3,4; Glee Club 3,4.

JOHN S. MARGOLIES New Canaan Caduceus 4; Sentin~l 3,4; Athletic Committee 4; Coaches' Club 4.

JOHN MARGOLIES John is a recent arrival on the Hilltop, but this has not prevented his making an indelibl e mark in the hearts of all who know him. John is of a very resourceful and funlov ing nature ; he has constantly shown this, for he is usually engaged in a sharp and clever battle of wits with some member of the class, when not writing for the Sentinel or soliciting ads for the CADUCEUS. A diligent student, John has done his best work in the study of mathematics and its allied subjects. Seriously, John's likeable character will convey him a long way on the road to success.

Student Council 2,3, Secretary 4; Sentinel "Editor 4; Senior Prom Committee 4; Football 2,3; Basketball 2,4; Baseball 2,4.

KENNEDY MILLER In his many years on the Hilltop, Kenny has made himself an integral part of the class and of the school. As senior class president and an active member of the Student Council, he has shown to advantage his fine leadership qualities. On the basketball court he has made himself equally famous, although a knee injury a few years ago was thought to have stopped his playi ng. Kenny's most outstanding ac hievements, however, have been as editor of the Sentinel. Active in all school events and keeping pace in the classroom, Kenny has shown himself equal to any task and will mai ntain that standard throughout his life.

An all-around fellow, his m any ac tivities range from the chairmanship of the Student Co un cil to pos itions on all of our varsity teams. Dick is a very fin e perform er on the drums, and after having seen him pl ay, nobody ca n fail to agree that Dick's talent may lead him to a very interes ting and p rofitable job in jazz. His kn ack of ge tting along with everyone, plus his musical ability, should m ake life nothin g less than a "song and a dance" for this popular and welladjusted boy.

Up to this year, Al had been inactive in athletics, but last September he, along wit h many Other healthy specimens, donned football gea r.

A loyal supporrer of our dances, Bob can always be seen at them, squiring some lovely young crea ture about the floor. In class and study hal! his lively personality adds a great deal of color. Bob's ability at making friends and his genial personality w ill certainly help him through life. Surely he will long be remembered on the Hilltop.

William W ord sworth wro te, " The child is father to the man." This poetic fact, though po ig nantly true, is no t realized to its full est extent until the time comes to put as id e the habits o f yo uth and ass ume the more mund ane but mature habits o f adulthood. As we stand and look back on our soon- tO-be-over d ays at Sf. Luke's, we recall m yriads of memor ies, grea t and lasting, which we will carry with us th ro ughout our lives. People talk a g reat deal about edu ca ti on, but they seem to mi ss the fact that some good memo ory, preserved from childhood, is perh aps the bes t education. During these, our form ative yea rs, our Alm a M ater has g uided us p as t the inroads and alley ways of yo uth ; she has completed the first of our periods of ed uca tion, so that now we stand ready w ith a broad , coml?lete foundati on of bas ic knowledge to proceed to grea ter things in the college of our cho ice. In the transmutation of our adolescent personalities into mature, kn owledge-seeking, responsible charac ters, St. Luke's has played an all-important role. With the dilige nce and dedication of the faculty, and of Dr. Kidd in particul ar, we have been able to leap the hurdles and arri ve safely at our hig h school gradu ation. The histOry of the Class of 1958 is nor unlike the history of any other g radu ating class at St. Luke's. W e have braved the stOrms of four years of study and have ass umed the leadership of the school, as have the senior classes in the pas t. But there is something unique about our class, and to bring it out it IS necessary to trace bac k the stOry to our beg inning tOge ther. Ambling up the time-herald ed , blue-stOne dri veway at the opening of school in 1954, a fr eshman class g reeted the school season with a recklessness and abando n that seemed to echo strangely in the quiet halls of our Alma M ater. Bu t we pa id little heed to tha t atmosp here o f learnin g at first; we were tOO busy at the full -ti me job of li v ing twenty-six lives to their limit.. Eventua lly, as the season wore on, pers istence and regulat ion broke throug h to gi ve us a start on the long road throug h hig h school.

During our fr eshman year Mike Clark was the pres ident of the cl ass and also our Srudent Co uncil representative; w hile under him came vice-president and gad about Miller, and treasurer and All-American boy, G allava n, (all of whom spark ed a year that ended nor in ig nomin y but in success) . Upholding the reputation o f the school and overcoming our poor start, we surged o nwa rd and upwa rd , although no t completely without m ishap . Latin and world histOry made the ir impress io n o n our g ullibl e minds, as all the while Smith and Baggaley p rovid ed scholas tic di stinction. Clark , G ree n, and Bet ts rep orted for va rsity foorball , and there were v igorous tryoutS for the non-existent eraser team . Although we enj oyed a rewa rding fr eshman yea r, it was nor until much later that we realized the full im port and sig nifica nce of our labors. As sophomores we di scovered for the fir st tim e that the yea rs were short and that there were fe w left before our becoming a part o f that dim, di stant thing called college. But these seri ous thoug hts were soon lost in a wave of slingshor and eraser fi g hts; however, we delved into the qui eter research of missing bookbags w hen the heads bega n to roll. Nor that we suffered greatl y scholas ticall y, for additio ns to th e cl ass had bro ug ht the srudent level of our grade to a new hig h with Smith, Baggaley, H amblen, and Whit ham fig hting for distinction. Fortun atel y, tOo, athletics were able to absorb a considerable number of the seeming ly boundless energ ies o f our cl ass. Clark, Baker, N ov ik, Betts, and Miller worked hard at their respec tive varsity pos itions and earned a nam e for us, athletically. The team work in the cl ass itself was streng thened, and in putting on our first dance, "G oal to G o", we exemplified true orga nization, for it was successful on all counts. This was the year of struggles with biology and English g rammar. K ortegast became a confirmed member of the Smokers' Club, while the orher m embers o f the class distinguished themselves according ly. W e instOck and Adler strug g led m anfull y w ith Latin and continuously with each other. In arg ument for arg ument's sake, we found

Haims qu o ted as "m aking you believe anything imag inable" ; while in the quest for feminine companionship we found Whatmore and Richmond hard at work. Our junior year bega n in a flurry of textbooks and nig hts of study, but unfo rtun ately a bit o f belated "sophomore sophisticat ion" crept in and brought about a g reat deal of wild-oat sow ing. As th e yea r progressed, however, textbooks and stud y cam e back into vogue, as we were agai n and aga in reminded that we were "coll ege ca nd id ates" and had o nly a year to go. A g reat m any new faces appeared in our class this year. D odge, Margolies, Selkowitz, Montgome ry, and later, Wright ad ded much to our sp irit and com petence. Baker was elected president and Mill er vicepresident, while N ovik displayed his talents as secrerary, and Whitham hi s as treas urer. The sobering influence of our junior yea r was evidenced when the entire class knuckled dow n for the responsibilities set before them . Am eri can history papers and geometry theorems, Caesar's leg ions and French vocabulary etched an important system of skills and values into our struggling minds. Out of the throes of classwork sprung a new ac tIvIty. A Gl ee Club was orga ni zed throug h th e musical talents of K ortegast and D odge, and it was very p opular with our class. Contributing strongly to the varsity squads once more, we find Miller, Baker, Weise, BettS, N ovi k, Whatmore, and Green . All in all , we experienced new companio nship, new organi zation, and rewards for our efforts, for with a successful Prom and fin als out of the way, we were now seniors, th e culminating step of our hig h school career. As leaders of the school we bega n a vigoro us assa ult on our school work. "M ake the las t yea r th e best" was the feelin g as minds and books cam e once aga ;n into action. The heavy responsi bilities of leadership brought out th e best in all of us. At th e head of th e organization came President Miller, who, ass isted by his co-officers, laid a firm bed for th e work ahead.

The Senior Prom com mittee, headed by M ontgomery, began right away to plan for that all-important affair. Mill er headed the Sentinel staff and outd id him self in a fin e job of ed iting, writin g for, and orga nizing th e m any issues published. H elping him in this g iga ntic task were co-editors Whitham and H amblen , althoug h our th anks are extended to the numerous others w ho helped in the wor k. The CADUCEUS staff, headed by Baggaley, Whitham, H am blen, and Richmond, spent much time and effort in th e attempt to m ake thi s volume a good one. A surge of Bumble- Puppyism swept over the senior class earl y in the year and hung m an fully on, with 01: Shep calling th e plays. This, perhaps, was a display of the latent, potential leadership that fl oated here and th ere in our class. ( Another possible example was the Brain"?" Club, a group of staid indiv iduals, sel f-n amed, and cultivato rs of th e respectable art of eating left- over desserts after school in the dining room and altercating vigorously on recondite m athemat ical puzzles.) An unfortunate seri es of collisions were experienced by some of the seniors this year. Clark began it a few weeks before school opened ; Whitham continued the trend; M argolies tried manfully to display his skill at it ; Green tried twice w ith a perfect score; Clark, nicknamed "Crash", did it agai n. Ending the infam ous series came H aims, sideways. We onl y had one new m ember jo in the class, but his scholas ti c ability and desire to become a part of the group p roved him invaluable to us, R olf McClellan, the first to be accepted into college; we all wish him good luck at Yale. After the tense pace th at carried us through to April slac ked off, we gazed at the school and each other with a new sense of m at urity. It seems infinitely ironical that JUSt as we reached the peak o f solidity as a class, all striving together, we mUSt take our sep ara te ways, and in the futur e look back on St. Luke's onl y as a fond memory and not as an active part of ou r li ves.

The bulk of the Class of '59 has fin ally boosted itself over th e hurdl e of th e eleventh g rade. l'\. ~ m ost JunIors before us, we we re affli cted by a degree of ap ath y tOwa rd studies and a ge neral di sinterest in college. By next yea r, college board s, fina l exam s, professors, and p arents w ill have changed our attitudes com p letely, so th at we shall blossom into th e exalted positi on of Seni ors.

Boldt is a ser ious as pirant to rhe 1960 O lympics in sw im ming and Latin ; Spelke is Dr. Kidd 's verbal sparring p artner, and H erzog would make an able second ; our missi ng classm ate, Kraczki ew iez, ca n confu se a Swiss professor even more eas ily th an one at Sr. Luke's. Nor all ex-Dolanites are fi sh lovers; Lorstein, a tr ack enthusiast, has a surfeit of the things, but Brafm an, who played in a foo tball gam e las t fall, has none; to relieve his artisti c temperament Truenfel s tOok up wood-work ing this year.

The hands of the cl ock keep mov ing, and in tWO years we, the Sophomore Cl ass, will be gradu ating. We sincerely hope that in those two short years we will have established a record of which St. Luke's will be proud. What about the past year ? During this geophysical year our class did no t launch any rockets to the moon, but look at the stars we had : Gilroy, proud owner of a "blue bombshell ", is our president, as well as the "D on Juan " of our class; Kweskin is a confirmed perfeCtionist ; Ide, our huge secretary and a long-time veteran of the Student Council, is still g roping for the stars; Blanchard is a mechanical genius looking for a m onkey-wrench ; Marchand hails from the darkest depths of Brooklyn , but that shouldn't be held aga inst him ; W right is an avid rock'n'roller and probably the future president of the "Elvis Presley Fan Club"; then there is Goit, a typical m an about W estport. Chereau is a recent

arri val from France and is flu ent in both French and English ; Craig is the "Bob Cousy" of the class, and McPeek is the si lent and deadl y type ; Ruegg is the most Ivy-Leag uish. Roche, famous for his "m aster's" voice, is handsome and owes the author of thi s article fi ve doll ars for having sa id so ; Rel yea, the terror of U. S. route 1, was one of the first of this class to possess the treasured dri ver's license ; George is the happy-go-lucky type who isn't too lucky; Montgomery pledges allegiance to G overnor Faubus; why, Dean ' Mezan is our treasurer and a student of some note; H offm an, also one of the more studious members of our group, is the class vice-presid ent and an ex-member of the Smokers' Club ; Alsegg is the frustrated French scholar, m ais, c'est la vie; to round things off we have Thompson, a cand id camera m an and a fine specimen of m anhood.

fir st Row: Sawye r, M. Ross, Snide r, Levi ne, Gaisser, Kelley, Cal houn, H olman. Seco nd R ow : Th ill , Koo ns, Cambe ll , Audi no, Gen e, T itu s, Full er, Ede nfie ld, Fogle, Osteimer, T uni ck, Pea rsa ll, Her zog.

T we nty-seve n m embers o f our cl ass are now on the way toward completing th e first yea r of hig h school. W e have m any rugged ind ivid uals in our group. For example: Al ex Aderer ta ug ht us the correct way ro stud y, whil e J oe Audino proved to be a star basketb all pl ayer ; T o ny Bruehl started a new cl othing fad . J ohn "Toothpi ck" Calhoun is famous for hi s un con sc ious humor, and Bill Cam p bell is kn ow n for his broken g lasses. K een Edenfi eld, better kn ow n as Ki w i Kee n, is th e onl y southern er in th e school. "Big" J ohn Fogle pl ayed va rsity foOt ball, and Ke nt Ful1er starred in A lge bra; Jim Ga isser is the cl ass authority on gi rl s. Cart er Get te, a mu nit ions expert, has p lans ro blow up the school. T he il1ustr ious Jim H erzog is a three letter man - water boy, bat boy, and bal1 boy . "Sm iley " Pete Holma n is the aero nautics exp ert of th e cl ass. Steve Hurd, the Secretary-T reas urer, IS k now n fo r his aromic researc h. (W hat happe ned ro our d ues ? ) "B uzz" Ke lley, spending h is fi rst year on th e Hill rop, is our vice-president. Another of our more athletic m embers, President K oons, was the Leag ue M a-

roan's star qu arterback. Blair Leig hro n, the pre-mature spaceman, often glided in ro vi sit our Eng lish cl asses. J on Lev ine did fou r term reports in W orld Hisrory. Bil1 M el1ick went out for al1 varsity sports. ( What a man ' ) W as Kurt Ostheimer real1 y sick, or was that hi s boat we saw out on the Sound ? R ay Pea rsa ll , afte r six years on the Hilltop, has earned six school letters. ( H ow m any of these for athletic ability? ) M ac R ae Ross kn ows everything about anything w ith th e excepti on of his school work. John Sawyer is o ne of th e few rema ining stud ents from Rid gefield. Ed Simmo ns is the onl y member of the cl ass who works on K. P., and Tim Snider ac tu al1 y thinks (someti mes) . Tom Thil1 says, "N o if's or and's, JUSt b utts for me." Ti m Titus is our class representati ve ro the stude nt coun c il. D ave Tunick is in competitio n with our class president for the reddes t hair in th e school. Charli e W eaver's mo tto is, "Better last th an never." W e feel that next year our class w ill follow the fin e example set by the preceding Sophomore Class. Al thoug h we imp roved g reatl y this yea r, next yea r we hope to im p rove even m ore.

This year's Swdent Coun cil, un der the leadership o f Ri chard N ov ik, has been one o f the fin est in St. Luke's history. From the beginning new and effective polic ies were adopted . They incl uded a new demerit system , the keeping of perm anent reco rds by the secretary, and stern wa rnings to the stude nt before he compiled toO m any demer its. By using these methods, the Student Co uncil fun ct ioned ve ry effic ientl y and carri ed on its vari ous act ivities in such a way that everyo ne has benefi ted. The sen iors o n the Counc il were: K ennedy Mill er, who served as secretary; H as tings Baker, treas urer and an active representative; and Michael Clark , a capabl e new add itio n. T he Juni or class was abl y represented by Bruce Baggaley, a fo ur year vete ran; J ohn Grandbo is, a newcomer who proved to be an energetic worker; R aym ond Ki ll io n, also serving hi s first

yea r, ' and whose help ful suggesti ons were of g reat a id ; and Art hur K elley, who p roved to be a very valuable asse t. The Sophomore members were Michael G il roy and Richard Ide, w ho represented their class excellentl y, as did tWO more newcomers to the Coun cil - Timoth y Tiws of the Freshm an class and Peter Pim a, the eig hth grade representati ve. The di stributio n of representatives from the various cl asses was revi sed aga in this yea r. Both the Junior and Senior classes delega ted four representati ves ; this caused a better balance between these top g rades. M any congra tul ations should be extended to the members o f the Student Council , for it may be said that those representati ves did a g reat deal to place thi s orga ni za ti on in the hig hl y respected pos ition it now enj oys.

The members of this year's CADUCEUS staff were selected last spring. This year's editorial board consisted of the following: Bill Baggaley was editor-inchief, Kenneth Whitham served as associate editor, and Dave Hamblen was managing editor. The duties of these three boys were many, for they not only wrote many of the articles, bur they also had the timeconsuming task of editing them. Then, too, they did much of the layout work and co-ordinated the activities of the various departments-editorial, business, and art. Bur the yearbook needed the revenue from advertisements to pay for it; so the business board, under the very capable leadership of Barry Montgomery, started its work in the fall so as to be sure of securing the necessary amount. Congratulations should also be extended to the members of his staff,

Standing: B. Haims, J.

which consisted of John Margolies, Neil Green, and Bruse Haims, as each of them gave up a great deal of time to soliciting ads and assisting Barry. The writing was also begun last fall , and the many people who contributed articles deserve a great deal of credit. Typing them out were Ken Smith, John Margolies, Jim Franklin, and Ken Whitham. The art work and layout was the product of Jon Richmond 's lively imagination. The photography was ably done by Harold Weise. In March the yearbook went to press, after many long months of hard work by all concerned. The faculty advisor to the CADUCEUS, Mr. Judd, has done a wonderful job; had it not been for his diligence and great amount of previous experience, the production of the yearbook would have been all but impossible.

While many important changes we re to be noted in thi s year's Sentinel, the staff has taken the g rea test pride in prod ucing an interesting, concise journal of Sai nt Luke's ac tivities. One of the innovat ions has been the appearance of a longer, wider paper with larger type, while certainly another not icea ble change has been the sm aller issues published w ithin shorter periods of time so that the paper has been able to keep up with all events of interest to students, facu lty, and parents. Heading the staff which brought you this year 's excellent editions was Ken Miller, who, naturally, shouldered most of the responsibility of publishing many of the well-organized issues. Yet, giving credit where cred it is d ue, such conscientious workers as Kenneth Whitham, managing ed itor; and David Hamblen, feature editor; have contri buted greatly. The three sports editors, Smokey Baker, football ; Bruce H a ims, basket ball ; and David Boldt, baseball; have done more than their share in mak ing the paper what

it is, and with thei r ass ista nts, J ohn Margoli es, Barry Montgomery, and H ans Truenfels, it has been sa id that they have covered SpOrts with thoroug hness and authority. Peter Call away and R olf McClell an have wr itten many creat ive ed itori als, while William Baggaley and Richard Spelke did a great deal o f research for the alumni news. Fea tures and typin g were in the able hands of Willi am Adler, J ac k K ortegast, Dick N ovik, Alex R oss, and Kenneth Smith, who proved to have fine aptitudes for writing and orga nizing work. The artist ic staff member, Jonathan Richmond , drew the m any cartoons and pictures which have appeared throughout the year, while George Thompson provided the camera shots. Mr. Graves, in his usual capacity of faculty advisor, straig htened out the mistakes, giving the paper its appearance-an appearance which everyone judged to be 'quite profess ional.

Committee One of the committees to which we owe a great deal is the Athletic Committee. This year, as in all previous years, the committee prepared the way for all our athletic events. In the fall its members were responsible for preparing the field for the home football games which we played. They lined the field and during the games kept track of the score as well as providing service as linesmen. During the winter, when basketball was the predominant spOrt, the committee gave up many hours to the task of making the gym ready for the coming contests; this was done by removing all obstacles (benches and the like ) and cleaning the lines on the Boor. In the spring the members of the Athletic Committee built ' up the pitcher's mound and rolled the field in order to make

it suitable for baseball. Also, this group made preparations for the annual field day and then conducted that event. The members of this committee are elected by the Student Council every fall on the basis of their sense of responsibility and their willingness to work hard. All are eligible for nomination, each person submitting his name for consideration; however, since the Student Council votes upon it, the school is assured of getting the very best. Headed by Barry Montgomery, its mmebers were from all the grades of the upper school. Some of the more outstanding members included Neil Green, Bruce Haims, John Moore, and Rolf McClellan.

In each o f th e gy m classes the re is a boy in ch,u ge who keeps o rd e r a nd teaches the you ngste rs some o f the rudiments of bas ketball. The boys in charge were chosen by the fac ulty, bu t a I from the upper classes were free [Q submit th e ir nam es for co nside ra ti o n; however , as there were mo re appli cants th an p os itions avai lable, the facu lty had a wide lot to choose fr om . Consequently, the qua l ifica ti o ns fo r sel eCtio n were hig h. The gym instru ctOrs were chosen primari ly for their a thl e ti c abi lity , but other faCtors were co nsidered. For example, all of th ose chose n had to hold the respeCt of the pupil s in the school so as to be able to keep order. Comm onl y kn ow n as the "Coaches' Club", it has been in op erati on ever since compulsory gy m training was es tabli shed-a bo ut two yea rs ago. During this

short period , a g reat deal o f good has come Out of this system , for the sm aller boys have learned a g reat deal bes ides at hletics. Our future va rsity p layers wi ll come from these ranks, having learned th e eleme nts o f good spo rtsm ansh ip and the value of team cooperatl on. The names of so me of the members of th e "Coac hes' Club" are as fo llows: Jo hn M argo lies, who had had co ntrol during the fifth p eri od , Bruce Baggaley, bei ng o n hand during tbe eighth per iod, a nd Barry M o ntgomery, whose word was law dur ing the first peri od. Included also is H. Weise, ruling over the second period . Thus the calibre o f these men is at once seen, a nd the chosen few will , in eac h succeeding year, adhere to the hi g h stand ard which the others befo re them have set.

H eaded by a reacher rhi s yea r, rhe new ly reorga nized Glee Club was mosr assuredl y a success. The members conrtibured acrivelyand enthu sias rically to irs support. The reac her who is sponsoring ir and rhereby giving up his own rime is Mr. Cooper, ne w ar our school rhi s year. However new he may be to St. Luke's, he certainly is experienced in coaching singers, for he gO[ rhe most our of rhe vo ice of each one of rhe members. The members m aking up rhe Glee Club are as follows: renors : H ans Truenfels, Richard Spelke, Jim Franklin, Jo hn Gallavan, and Jim Wharmore ; baritones: Dean and Barry M ontgomery, Amon Selkowirz, Neil Green, Dick H o ulberg, Sarezky , and John Newhouse ; basses : Dave H amblen , Ken Whitham, Ken Smith, and Les Brafm an. Filling in where they

may be neeeded , owing to the ir sing mg versatiliry, are Jack Kortegast and Geoff D odge. Every Mond ay nig ht, unless prevented from meeting due to bad weather, they all drag up benches near rhe piano in Miss H owe's room and sing from an hour and a half to twO hours. They "mas tered " Th e lVinl e路y Song, Th ere A in't Nothing Like a Dame, Sh enandoah, and T he lViffenp oo f Song. The singers were slightly hindered by the fact that bad weather so often occurred on Mondays. With all these at least very passable singers and Mr. Cooper, the Glee Club accomplished a lot and had a good time do ing it. This year's club is somewhat larger than las t year's, thus proving an increased interest in it. We hope it will cominue to grow in quality and in volume.

1958 marked the year that W illiam Vornkahl returned to coach the basketball team aft er a three yea rs' absence. Und er Coach Vornkahl the St. Luke's basketball team rose. to new he ig hts during the 1957 58 seaso n. Even thoug h they compiled an 11-7 record during the season, the picture mig ht have been much brig hter had the team had the services of John Grand bo is and K en Miller for the full season. Amo ng St. Luke's many triumphs were vic tories over such squads as the Alumni , Ced ar Knolls, King, Cherry Law n, Low-Heywood, and D ayc roft. The team 's onl y losses were at the hands of such fin e squads as Wright Tech, Brunsw ick, and H amden H all. In one of the best-played games of the year, the "Hilltoppers" lost to H amden H all , 60- 58, in an overtime period. Actually, onl y four points prevented St. Luke's from taking first place, the loss to H amden H all and a two-po int loss to Brunswick. Becau se of these two close defeats St. Luke's fell to third p lace in the league with an 8-4 record . The scoring leaders for the yea r were H ast ings Baker, Rolf McClell an, J ames Wrightson, and K en

Miller. Each had an average of about eleve n po ints per game, Baker being the leader wi th an average of slig htly over 13 po ints per game. Baker ~ nd Mill er scored mos t of thei r po ints by jump shots, while McClellan's spec ialty was the tap -i n, and Wrightso n's, a driving lay -up. The J.Y. picture was also a brig ht one. Due to a shortage of opponents, the squad pl ayed onl y six games, coming Out victorious in four of them. Thi s excellent record by the J .Y. 's predicts a fine team fo r the futur e at St. Luke's. The St. Luke's offense revolved around the guards, who would feed [he ce nter or the forwa rd s under the bas ket. If they were unable to pass the ball , they wo uld shoot fr om the outsid e or dri ve in for a layup. Coach Vornkahl usually employed a zo ne defense, sometimes plac ing one m an on the opponent's leadin g scorer. The starters, Mill er, Baker, Grandbo is, McClellan, Wrightson, K empton, ~ nd N ovik , were abl y assis ted by Jeff Cra ig, and Robert and H arold We ise.

Owing to the fact that the CADUCEUS goes to press before the opening of the baseball season, a preview rather than a review of the 1958 baseball season will be presented. S1. Luke's has nO( produced an ourstanding baseball team in recent years, but this year's prospects show the possibility of a change for the better. Mr. Pearsall, taking over the coaching of the team this year, will have three members of last year's starting team as a nucleus. Jimmy Wrightson in center field , Bob Wright at third, and Smokey Baker at short will be counted on to lead the team. Also, returning after a year's absence, is Mike Clark , who is expected to share the catching duties along with Ricky Flatow. Filling out the infield, John Grandbois, barring injury, should be at firs1. H arold Weise is also a candidate to fill that position, which Pierre Pelanne owned last year. Second base is anyone's at the present. Dick N ovik, Bob Weise, Bill Adler, and Bob Kempton are all

trying for this position. Luck ily , they can be counted on to fill in at other positions if needed. In the outfield Jim Wrightson seems set 10 center field , bur rig ht and left fields are still open. Heading the list of candidates for these positions are Rolf McClellan, Les Brafp1 an, Art Kelley, Mike Gilroy, and Ken Whitham. Pitching is the department that will make or break the team. The only returning pitchers who saw action with last year's team are Jim Wrightson and John Gallavan. H owever, included in this year's hurling talent are Bill Mellick and Bob Weise. Along with Mike Clark, these men can be counted on to carry the load on the mound. The performance of the pitchers, and the ability of nine men to function together as a team are the hinges upon which the '58 team will swing. Only time will tell whether the team will succeed to the Leag ue tide, but a winning season is a certainty with so capable a team.

This year the league foOtball team was under the direction of Mr. Judd , who was promOted from coach of the Junior team. He was assis ted by John Moore and Jim Franklin, bOth of whom were members of the Athletic Committee. During the season we played only two games, and they were both with Saxe Junior High; one was on October 14th, and the Other was on November 4th. The team was composed of a combination of M aroon and Gray Players, who were at a definite disadvantage due to lack of experience. The first game was lost on the home ground by a score of 26-0. On the rerum engagement, played on Saxe's field , we showed

a much improved team . But it was still overpowered by the opponents, who beat us by a score of 20-0. The team was led by the co-captains-Simmons at quarterback and Pinza at fullback.

The halfbacks

were Goodwin and Titus with Everson and Peter Ross filling in, for the most part, on defense. On the line we had Gaisser and Glass, each of whom were ends ; Kelley and Stark were at tackle ; Fuller and Koons were guards; and Pearsall was the center. There were four intramural games played between the Maroons and the Grays, and the Grays won them all. The Maroons were not evenly matched, as they had the disadvantages in both weight and size.

This year Junior Foorball was under the capable direction of Mr. Cooper. His tremendous success in mixing the correct amounts of fun and instruction was vouched for by the enthusiasm of the players and the skills they developed. The juniors also displayed amazing ability in learning the basic essentials of the game-blocking, tackling, running, and passing ; equally important, they learned both the necessities of bOth good conduct on the playing field and of sportsmanship. This year the Maroons were the victors, in spite of the Grays' terrific srruggle. The first game ended in a 0-0 tie, and the Grays won the next, 6-0, thus indicating the equality of the two teams. Finally, the Maroons began to click , and they easily won the next twO games. Both teams sparkled with brilliant play ing, which in time will rise to the varsity level.

the backfield ; Billy Cibere, as

captain and quarterback of the team, towered over all other Maroons. His excellent running was the mainstay of his team, as he consistently gained yardage. Quarterbacking for the Grays was Claude Pelanne, also the captain. With Claude in the backfield was Terry Pelanne, his brother; the fullback was Martin Pearsall, and Niles Wheeler was at halfback. The halfbacks for the Maroo ns were Bill Fuller and Dick Langhorne, while George Arthur played full back. These backs were not the only ones who defeated the Grays, for no backfield can succeed without a strong line. Serving in the Maroon line were Peter Smith, Bernard See, Ben Crowell , Peter Golenboc, Dick King, and Chris Chamberlin. The G rays were ably represented by "Red " Palmer, Henry Benidict, John H arrison, M ark Burns, And y Mitchell, Brent Snyder, and George Boshnack. So passed another successful junior season. 73

The foll owing is a brief summary of the more important happenings abroad and in American foreig n relations during 1957 and ea rl y 1958. In J anuary, 1957, Eisenh o wer rejec ted Bulganin's Russi an proposal for a fiv e-power summit co nference; Eden resigned and was succeeded by M ac millan as England 's prime mini ster ; and Ru ss ia n, C hina, a nd o ther states criticized the new Eisenhower D oCt rine. In February Eisenhower and King Saud o f Saudi Arabia conferred and reached an agreem e nt o n several p oints. In March Ghana, a fo rmer Britis h African colo ny, became independent ; the Suez Canal was reope ned ; and six Europ ea n na ti o ns agreed on a commo n m arket to remove trade restrictions. In April the Soviets bega n a peace offensive in the Middle East, and King Hussein secured his power in J ord an. Ad enauer and Eisenhower talked in the United States in M ay; in Jul y Tunisi a dethroned its ru ler and became a republic, and Guatem alan President Armas

was sho t and killed. United States reporters could finally go to R ed C hina, a nd M alaya ga ined its independence during Aug ust. Macmillan of England and Eisenhower co nferred o n ways of strengthening the Western Alliance, and Quee n Elizabeth helped by visiting the United States in October. Kruschev asked for Eas t-West talks, thu s begi nning a lo ng campaign for a summit conference in 195 8, a nd women fin ally won the right to sit in the British H o use of Lords. Eisenhower flew to a meeting of NATO member natio ns in December, settling mino r difficulties among the allies. .

The new year in Detroit has seen the use of dual pairs of headlights on every car, the use of more chrome, a larger, lower, and wider shape for JUSt about every car but the Rambler, and the appearance of four tail lights on some' cars. One of the biggest pieces of news of this 1958 automobile model is the advent of the Edsel, put into production by a newly-formed branch of the Ford Motor Company. Regardless of the ill-favored words aimed at this car, and the predictions of doom likewise hurled at , it, the Edsel made a fairly good sales record in the first few months that it was on sale, something difficult to be achieved by a new car. Its own quality and the service of its dealers will determine the future of this l(rar. " Other changes made consist of: a Packard Hawk on sale by the ,' â&#x20AC;˘.

Ie is noted that in this budget $. 80 out of every tax dollar is devoted to defense spending. Missile development and long-range weapons are receiving the greatest atte ntion. It has become increasingly important and obvious during this past year that ed ucation in the United States must be stepped up to m atch the technology of Russia. M oney can be poured into our defense projects, but it takes brain-power to utilize it. Heavy emphasis on scientific training is hoped to bring about an influx of capable scientific minds. In future years the value of the steps taken in these critical months will be realized. The ad ministration's policies of emphasis on science, defense, foreign aid, and economic strengthening will bear fruit one way or the other in years to come. Let us hope they have chosen, and will choose, wisely and well.

" Detroit has produced nice cars in the past and is perfectly able to do so in the future if they will stop "g iving the public what it wants. " The car of the future might be about two feet high, seventeen feet wide, forty feet long, completely chrome-plated in every metal Spot, twenty headlights in the front, and as many tail-lights in the rear. ,People are. now waking up to the fact that Detroit's chrome-wagons do not necessarily match up to Germany's Volkswagens, so that the economical smaller foreign car is enjoying a higher sale than it has been able to obtain in the past. In spite of some short-comings, the cal's this year are indisputably smooth-riding, relaxing, and powerful. If car design does not run away with itself in the next two years, this important industry will continue to thrive in America.

oilterature Our year found the novel's quality jeopardized by the pace o f modern life. The pressures on the novel , while not new in 1957 -1 958, were especially marked in that year. Often the critic felt that the novel had matched the pace so much that the combined impatience of reader and writer led ro superficiality. R ather than treat any subjeCt deepl y, authors were cOntent to focus on the sensational and tawdry. This was often done in the name of ,realism , but if anyone really th ought that such was the real state of any section of our planet, he might best leave. Perhaps the one great novel (the masters, Hemingway and Faulkner absenting themselves ) was James Agee's "A Death in the Family". Agee was an author who obviously cared about life very much, bur, alas, died very, young . Now, "Anaromy of a Murder " leads the best seller list, typical in its sensationalism and almost complete lac k of artistry in style. A group of furi ous young poets and writers, calling

D esign was the driving force in art during 1957 and '58, and ofte n design was considered roo important ro be left ro the hands and mind of the mere artist. Fare was called in. Paint, sand and junk were thrown at canvas, usually .from above, in hopes that Fate would produce art. P iCtures we re produced by the squ are yard by splash, dribble, and even by dancing upon the canvas and letting the pa int squid ge up ' through bare roes.

The lessons taugh t by the masters were not lost upon the country 's many fin e minor artis ts and illustrarors. Various degrees of abstraction found their

place in paintings, advertising art and layout, and book illustration. Architecture was taking full advantage of new developments in the technology of construction. Walls, freed fr om the task of bearing weight, were made of gla路 more oft en than in years previous, The U , N , and LevL-l Brothers buildings were models often copied in NeV'.

During the year 1957, many fine plays opened , and many closed on Broadway. Some closed to move to another city, but some closed never to open again. A nostalgic feeling lies deep in everyone's heart when you think of the plays that have gone, among them Pajama Game and Damn Yankees by Adler and Ross, twO young men in show business. Adler recently died, leaving his partner and the public greatly saddened. ,Among the better known plays of the past season are ,_ tg Day's Journey Into Night, starring Frederic March alJd Florence Eldridge; Auntie Mame, starring Rosalind Russell; Visit To A Small Planet, starring Cyril Ritchard, ~ (""ard Andrews, and Eddie Mayhoff, a local celebrity; " l e Tunnel Of Love, starring Tom Ewell.

Two fairly new musicals are W est Side Story, starring Carol Lawrence, Larry Kent, and Chita Rivera; and The i\IIusic Man, starring Robert Preston. West Side Story, based on a Romeo and Juliet theme, is about two teenage ga ngs in New York. The Music Man has to do with a genial crook who mends his ways through the influence of. a virtuous woman. The leading characters are a peddler of non-existent musical instruments and uniforms and the custodian of the local library. It is a rousing, sentimental, and highly-professional show. It is a little short on verbal humor but otherwise most agreeable to the eye and ear. These are just a few of the many shows on Broadway this year, but in the coming years, as you look back, you m ay recall with anxiety the precious moments in theatre history this year.

This year TV. and R adio were characterized by "Adult Westerns" , in which the bad man doesn't get shot, but rather goes to the psychiatrist; a constant battle for supremacy between "Steverino" and "Smiling Ed "; superduper quiz shows; commercials; and WINS' all-out attempt to lose all their listeners. Such shows as Maverick, Suga·rfoot, H ave Gun, W ill Travel, Wagon T rain, and the Sin clair Lewis Theater made their TV. debuts. Such old standbys as Beat The Clock, Our Miss Brooks, Private Secretary, and Amos and Andy have moved to morning TV., while such new shows as The Thin Man, Mr. Adams and Eve, T wentyOne and To T ell T he Truth have caught the public eye. The show that seems to be the number one choice in America most consistently is The Perry Como Show with the one-hour, once-a-month I Love Lucy show running a close second.

But there are, impossible as it may seem in this conglomeration of "idiocy-glop", still some shows worrh viewing, although they are usually hidden between twO huge nOthings. Camera Three is probably the least known and the best directed show tOday. Th e Seven Lively Arts, which was one of the finer shows of the year, got no suppOrt from the public and recently folded. Sunday afternoon is the only time when one can get away fr om the Bud Colliers and Carol Reeds. Meet Th e Press and shows of that sorr occupy the attention of the few people who watch television on Sund ay afternoons. Sports on television are extensively covered, with the local teams being ai red whenever possible, and the network p icking up the slack with an extensive coverage of professional hockey and basketball.

This year of 1957-1958 has seen many interesting rhings happen. The senior class ser our full of spirit to 'e)btain a scoreboard for our gym. After many weeks of diligent searching, they managed to locate a good, used scoreboard, which only needed a motor for the clock. This all took place before the basketball season, The basketball season came and went, but still no scoreboard was to be seen. Who knows? Maybe someone is in SOllth America spending the Seniors' hard-earned y. ''1ker will never be able to forget the date ~moJ 0'" 1 {o~ him. Never again will Smokey her cou~ir.

good anyway, because who knows what a boy will say about a girl when he's trying to palm her off. Ken Whitham practices foul shots sometimes, and some of them are really foul, such as the time he was taking a few shots during Glee Club, and hit a light that was forty feet up. And he wasn't even trying to hit it! From then on he didn'r shoot quite as high as previously. St. Luke's has had enough injuries to last a while. One boy showed up with a dashing black eyepatch, looking quite like the man in the Hathaway shirt ads, It is said that the purpose of the patch in the ad is to make the man appear very masculine, Could ir be that rhis lirtle boy is trying to appear very masculine? 135
