The Jesters' Own Dramatic Story

By Sue Weisselberg '76 The story of the Jesters - Trinity's dramatic group which began over a century ago - has its own dramatic side.

It's a rags-to-riches tale, beginning with casual "society melodrama" and developing into a full-fledged academic department with a modern theatre.

The evolution of the group, always dependent on available facilities, took place in spurts. From 1871 to 1887, productions were both casual and occasional, and were for the purpose of "the cultivation of histrionic talent, intellectual improvement, and the entertainment of ourselves and others."

In 1887, Alumni Hall opened; its upper floor had an auditorium that was used as the College theatre until the late 1920's, when all of Alumni Hall was taken over by the athletic department. Shortly after, the auditorium was destroyed by fire.

Jesters rented theatres in the area for their productions until 1949, when Alumni Hall's lower floor was converted to Connecticut's first arena theatre. From then on, the Jesters productions usuallR remained on campus, first in the arena theatre, and, from 1965 to the present, in Goodwin Theatre of the Austin Arts Center. In 1969, theatre arts at Trinity ceased to be just an extracurricular activity and became a formal department and major.

With the completion of Alumni Hall in 1887, the Trinity Dramatic Club finally had a stage. In October of that year, it announced that it would attempt a season of "society melodrama or light farce."

After that the club, which donated all proceeds to the Treasury of the Athletic Association, gave at least two plays a year.

Full props and costumes were used in most of the plays. Men usually took both male and female parts; not until the early 1900's did Hartford area women regularly play female roles. In 1894 the drama club took the name "The Jesters," and it has been used ever since.

The Jesters, who had suffered through a slump during and after World War I, enjoyed a revival during the 1920's. They reorganized themselves in the fall of 1923, deciding to continue to produce two plays a year. A person who played a

More Students Applying to Enter Trinity Trinity's next freshman class will be drawn from the largest applicant pool in the college's history.

The college anticipates that about 450 men and women will enroll as freshmen in September. If this expectation is met, the class would be slightly larger than last year's entering class of 42I, but smaller than the 495 freshmen who enrolled in 1972.

While private college enrollments nationwide declined last year and sharp drops in enrollment are predicted nationally for the rest of the decade, a p plication s to Trinity nevertheless increased 20 percent this year. The total of I ,898 applications- 1,251 women and I ,647 men - increased by 48I over last year's admission total of 2,417.

According to college statistics, the number of male applicants this year is equal to the greatest number of men who ever applied to Trinity before the / decision to become coeducational in I969.

Included in this year's applications were I45 from minority people, up from last year when I24 applied. Letters of acceptance were sent to I ,I 54 people, including 64I men and SI3 women.

There were 90 minority- people - black, Latin and Asian -among those admitted.

Auditorium Named to Honor Boyer Trinity College has named the auditorium in the Albert C. Jacobs Life Sciences Center after the late Francis Boyer, former chairman of the board of Smith Kline & French Laboratories and benefactor of the College.

Francis Boyer, who died May 2I, I 9 7 2, was associated with the pharmaceutical firm of Smith, Kline & French for more than 50 years, from Photograph, Page 2 19I9 until his retirement in 1970. He was executive vice president from I936-I951, president from 1951-I958, and chairman of the board from I958-1966.

He was awarded an honorary Doctor of Science degree (Sc.D.) from Trinity in 1961.

Mr. Boyer established a scholarship fund at Trinity in memory of his son, John Francis Boyer, who was killed in an automobile accident in 1954. John Boyer, a member of Trinity's Class of 19 53, had spent three semesters at Trinity before transferring to the University of Pennsylvania. A prolific writer, he had been editorial associate of the Tripod, and wrote short stories and poetry for the Trinity Review, and had been published in other journals.

Also in memory of his son, Boyer made a gift to provide for the Tripod office in Mather Campus Center when it was built in 1960.

Jester's Story zs a Rags-to-Riches Tale I

(Continued from Page 1) Talking," by Anita Loos, and "Wedding Bells," by Salisbury Fields.

The Jesters always had a faculty advisor willing to serve as dramatic coach.

In 1902, Henry Augustus Perkins became professor of physics; his wife, who had had a brief career on the professional stage, supervised the Jesters until about 1919. Other people served as advisors until 1946. Then, according to Dr. Michael Campo, a student at the time and today professor of modern languages and literatures and director of the Trinity/Rome Campus, arrived the "Golden Age of the Jesters"- along with several veterans of the Second World War who were eager to take on challenging roles and experiment with the theatre.

Advised and directed by Dr. Bard McNulty, the Jesters rehearsed in the top floor of Seabury. They expanded from the traditional presentation of a tragedy in the fall and a comedy in the spring ·to the avant-garde. In the fall of 1946, "Golden Boy" was produced, with Michael Campo playing the role of the old Italian father and Ken Wynne as Eddie Fuselli, the young boxer. In the spring of 1947, "Jacobowsky and the Colonel," about the French Resistance in World War II, was presented at the Avery Memorial Theatre. Michael Campo played Jacobowsky and Moo Johnquest was the German Colonel. One Jester had a pilot's

THE TEENS-- In "Tom Moore," a four-act play produced by the Jesters in 191 S, the female roles were played by women. The review of the play in the 1916 Ivy stated, "The feminine characters are by far the most difficult to judge correctly, for they were all so charming and altogether delightful that any description is sure to fall far short of the reality. The playing of their parts was as delicate as it was discerning." first play produced was "The Male Animal," and its author, James Thurber, came to a performance. Afterwards, according to Dr. Campo, Thurber wheezed up the rickety stairs to the dressing room, and, still puffing, told the Jesters, "I wouldn't even do this for Elliott Nugent." (Nugent was the coauthor of the play.) He also told them that they had done a great job.

During the next school year, the Jesters produced "Dear Ruth," "Masque of Kings," and "Men in White" under Don Craig, their first student director.

The Pitchfork Playhouse was continued in the summer of 1948, with Mike Kellin, today a professional actor, replacing Michael Campo. It still exists

THE FORTIES -- In 1947 the members of the Jesters were, from l~ft to right: (first row) J. H. Schachter; K. Wynne, Jr.; Professor J. B. McNulty; D. W. Craig; P. E. Stokes; J. T. Brush, Jr.; M. R. Campo; (second row) R. S. Neattie; 0. F. Gracey; J. F. Straley; B. K. Nicholson; E. F. Albee; R. H. Reid; N. L. Edgar; F. S. Campbell; and D. Reynolds. Albee, who was at Trinity for a year and a half, went on to write "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf," "A Delicate Balance," "American Dream," "Zoo Story," and other plays. Other Jesters who have achieved successful careers in various aspects of the theatre include Mike Kellin '43, George Dessart '48, Ea Parone '49, Richard Roat '55, Mark Healy '59, John Toye '59, Lee Kalcheim '60, and Bill Bartman '68. license, so he flew a plane over Hartford, showering the city with leaflets about the play.

In the summer of 1947, some of the Jesters decided to do their own summer stock. They found a barn in Sharon, Conn., and convinced the Sharon Inn that a playhouse would be just the thing to revive a sagging business. The "Pitchfork Playhouse" was born, and the Jesters found themselves working 18, 20 and 22 hours a day putting the barn in shape, working on publicity, choosing casts, acting and directing. In ten weeks, nine or ten plays were produced, including "The Male Animal," "Dear Ruth," "Out of the Frying Pan," "They Knew What They Wanted," and "Arms and the Man." The core group in Sharon that summer consisted of Michael Campo, who was the main actor, Donald Craig, the director, George Dessart, the assistant director, and E. Otis Charles, manager of publicity, props and ticket sales. Other Jesters helped out for several shows, but the core group worked at Sharon all summer. The

today, although it is no longer run by Trinity students.

From 1947 to 1950, Robert M. Vogel, then assistant professor of English, was director of dramatics for the Jesters. He moved productions from the Avery Memorial Theatre back to Alumni Hall.

The original auditorium in Alumni Hall had been destroyed in the 1920's by a fire, so Dr. Vogel and the Jesters built an arena theatre, using the lower floor of the old gym. A series of platforms, 18 inches high and 16 by 32 feet, were constructed in the center of the floor as the stage. The audience sat by three sides of the platforms and curtains were hung on three walls to tone down the gym's atmosphere.

The arena theatre competed with athletic teams and the regular physical education programs in the winter, so that one-acts and full-length plays were produced in Krieble Auditorium or the Washington Room during the winter months. The Jesters performed in Alumni Hall, however, until 1965, when the

Austin Arts Center opened, and the new Goodwin Theatre became their home.

George Nichols became faculty advisor to the Jesters in 1950. Upon his arrival, Dr. Campo has commented, "The Jesters became professional. They were no longer dilettantish. Professor Nichols provided them with their own leadership, enthusiasm and structure." Many of Shakespeare's plays were performed in those years, along with contemporary comedies and dramas.

In the spring of 1960, several days before the opening of "The Skin of Our Teeth," the fire department inspected Alumni Hall and issued a long list of violations to the College. Trinity's Office of Development, which had been planning an arts center since 1953, announced that a new arts center would be built. In June, the first half-million dollars were pledged by an anonymous donor (later revealed as James Lippincott Goodwin), who later gave an additional $350,000 with the provision that it must be matched from other sources.

The estimated cost of the arts center was $1,500,000 in 1960, but by the time the Austin Arts Center was dedicated on May 15, 1965, its total cost had run to $2,200,000. The music and studio arts departments were located in the Center along with the Jesters. George Nichols was director of the Center from 1965 to 196~, when he became head of the theatre arts department.

With the opening of the Austin Arts Center, the Jesters began to expand.

Their first technical director, John Woolley, came to Trinity in 1966, and taught production to interested Jesters.

In 1968, Professor Nichols was given permission to hire a second professor and to start the theatre arts department.

When David Eliet arrived in the fall of 1969, the major was formally established.

"We offer theatre arts as a major which we think can do as much for a person as other fields, with as much discipline. We don't urge anyone to go into the theatre professionally," Nichols has stated. With the inception of the major, the Lift One-Act Series was introduced (about five one-act plays produced entirely by students each semester) and the number of major productions was increased from three to four, with Eliet and Nichols each directing two during the year.

Since the establishment of the theatre arts department, there have been more opportunities for interested students both at Trinity and through affiliation with other programs. Students can spend a year with the Tufts-in-London program, studying the theatre, or a semester at the O'Neill Theatre in Waterford, Conn., or take an open semester or independent study involving the theatre. With the Lift One-Acts, they can experim-ent with directing and acting, and develop their general concept of the theatre.

Many students have become involved in the department without being majors.

Its establishment has meant a fairly wide variety of courses on the theatre. Eliet says, "I would like to see the department push harder and develop more, but its gains have been substantial. Our offering is traditional, and it's good."

Last semester, there were three major productions: Anton Chekhov's "The Seagull," directed by Eliet; Shakespeare's _ "Richard II," directed by Nichols; and Tennessee Williams' "The Night of the Iguana," directed by Len Cowan '74.

"Iguana" was the first student-directed major production since the department began. Six one-act plays were also presented.

Co wan chose "Iguana" because it "treads the line between comedy and seriousness. Williams' play gets across the idea that distinctions between fantasy and real-ity are indeed blurry, and we must not be frightened of one or the other, as they are both components of life itself."

This semester there was one major production, Lanford Wilson's "The Rimers of Eldritch." Directed by Eliet and presented in early March, it was an unconventional dramatization of the murder of an old derelict in a small midwestern town. The play was done in a collage style, in which the plot was gradually revealed through a series of vignettes. All 17 cast members remained on stage throughout the play. The Lift One-Act Series was presented in March and April.

In February of 1973, actresses Eve Collyer and Mildred Dunnock came to Trinity and taught separate workshops on acting and the preparation of scenes.

Nichols would like to see the workshops expanded into a program of an artist-in-residence each semester.

While there are always improvements that can be made, most students seem glad that there is an active theatre arts department. Ann Convery '74 says, "The main thing about the theatre arts department is that the spirit down there is incredible. There is no hierarchy.

Everybody cooperates; they're happy and dedicated. The kids are amateur only in the respect that they're not paid."

Another senior, Brian McEleney, says, "The great advantage of a liberal arts school like Trinity is that it gives a student chances to work in all aspects of the theatre, more so than in a professional drama school. It also gives students discipline; we can do crazy things but we must do them seriously."

defeat Tufts 5-4. On April 17 the Bants lost a 7-6 squeaker to the Lord Jeffs of Amherst. The 15-9 setback to Bowdoin was much closer than the score indicates.

The next four games belonged to Trinity as the offense poured in 53 goals to the opposition's 18. The victories over Fairfield (12-5), New Haven (16-3), M.I.T. (11-4), and Rhode Island (14-6) were all impressive decisions.

The 15-13 defeat to Union's Dutchmen can only be described as heartbreaking. Once Union stretched its advantage to 14-11, there was not enough time to make a comeback. Against Middlebury, after an early Trin goal, the Panthers reeled off 11 straight tallies. In the second half the Bants played well, but it was too late in this 12-6 defeat . The Wesleyan game marked the last home appearance for seniors Rip Lincoln, Tom Stevens, Frank Chase, Ron Kaplan, Allan Stark, and Chris Sehring. In the first half, Trin played as well as they had all year, stifling the powerful Cardinals.

Nevertheless, the 7-4lead was not enough to hold off the second half Wesleyan siege as they came back to win 14-9.

Looking towards next year, one cannot forget the excitement, the frustration, the hard work, and the strong performances by both the team and certain individuals. Attackman Mark Cleary has been nominated for All-District honors, Nick Bensley, Chris Max, and Jeff Ford are on the All-New England ballot, and Captain Rip Lincoln is a contender for All-America honors as a defenseman.

SPORTS

Golf

Varsity pair, Bill Barney stroke Chad Mooney bow, finished season 11-2 placing 2d at the Dad Vail.

Cre\N

By Burton Apfelbaum '75 The 197 5 Trinity crew program, with 7 boats ill 6 different classifications, produced a record of 125 victories and 41 defeats in six regattas.

Trinity's Varsity Heavyweight eight began its season with a four length victory over W.P.I. to win the Mason-Downs Cup, then captured the Emerson Cup by one length over Coast Guard. Racing at Princeton April 20, the varsity defeated Georgetown by 3.5 seconds . The Bants next won the heavyweight event at Poughkeepsie in the President's Cup Regatta. Trinity defeated (in order of finish) St. Joseph's, Marist, Washington College, Holy Cross and W.P.I., edging runner-up St. Joseph's by one second. At the Rusty Callow Regatta on Lake Waramaug, Trin won both the heavyweight event and the overall point trophy, each for the second consecutive year. Before going to Philadelphia for the Dad Vail, the Bantam oarsmen were undefeated with ten victories to their credit. The wins over rivals Coast Guard and St. Joseph's at the Mason-Downs and President's Cups were the high points of the regular season for Norin Grafs second undefeated heavyweight eight.

At the Dad Vail, Trinity placed third of the twenty-seven boats in the heavyweight division. Though rowing one of their finest races of the season, Trinity was unable to match the progress of St. Joseph's, The Coast Guard, and the University of Massachusetts, the winner of the Vail for the second year in a row.

It is a credit to Coach Graf that he has guided his varsity boat to the finals of the Vail in six of his seven seasons.

The Varsity Pair of Bill Barney stroke and Chad Mooney bow had a record of ·12-2, placing second at the Vail.

The lightweight Varsity, coached by Gary Caldwell, was 7-2 before placing seventh of 22 at the Dad Vail winning the Petite Final.

With a 7-2 record, the Freshman Heavyweight placed third of 16 at the Vail. For the freshmen, the final of the Vail had to be the biggest frustration of the season. Ten strokes into the race an oarlock burst open allowing an oar to pop out. Before the boat could readjust they were three lengths behind the field. They_

,,

.

came back to finish a strong third.

The 197 5 season looks promising for under the leadership of captain-elect Phil Wendler, both varsity and junior varsity boats look strong. This year's varsity will lose two men, 197 4 co-captains Curtis Jordan and Charles Putnam. Putnam has been the varsity stroke for two years.

Both these oarsmen will be missed greatly. However two boatloads of lower class oarsmen will add to the competition for varsity seats next year.

Varsity

Baseball

By Douglas Sanderson '7 4 The 1974 Bantam varsity baseball team had a 7-11 season, but the campaign closed on both an historic and exciting note as the Bants played their first tripleheader.

The three games featured a race for the team batting championship between Trinity's only .300 hitters, junior Mike Getz and Dave Kuncio. Kuncio, on the strength of a 5-for-8 performance, raised his average to .409, overtaking Getz's .375. But Getz's six RBI's for the day gave him 15 for the year.

The first game against Bowdoin, played at 10 a.m., featured a five-run Trinity first as the Bants built an 8-2 lead, then hung on for an 8-7 triumph. Key hits in the game were Getz's two-run triple, senior Mike Hoskinson's two-run single and sophomore John Wiggin's two-run triple.

Trinity then entertained Bates in the afternoon for two games, bowing 4-1 and winning 6-4. The Bants yielded two runs in the first inning of the loss, and were never able to recover.

The Bantams took a 5-2 lead in the third inning of the nightcap as Getz delivered a bases-loaded triple to right.

But Bates came back with three in the fifth before sophomore Steve Carlow relieved.

In the seventh, Kuncio singled, and senior Rick Hall singled him to second before being erased on a double play, Kuncio taking third. Then Kind!, pinch-hit for winner Carlow and drove the ball over the Bates right fielder's head to win the game.

The Nine opened their season April 11 at Wesleyan, falling 7-3, then split a doubleheader with Colby. The Mules won the opener 6-0, then dropped to Trin 4-2.

Senior right-hander Bill Scully, the Bantam captain, led Trinity's second-game win with clutch pitching and two hits.

The Bantams next lost to Williams, 4-3, on the road after having tied the score in the top of the ninth. Only the winning run was earned by the Ephmen.

The Bants came back against Coast Guard, downing them at Trinity 8-3, and splitting with them in New London, 5-3 and 1-4. Steve Carlow went the distance for Trinity in the 8-3 win, scattering seven hits and allowing the game's only earned run. The game's offensive highlight was Mike Hoskinson's home run in the eighth. In the first half of the doubleheader, Kind! gave up two runs in the first inning, on no hits or walks, then scattered three hits as the Bants came back for the win. John Wiggin's sacrifice fly drove in the game-winning run for the 5-3 win.

In the 4-1 nightcap loss, Trinity loaded the bases with none out in the seventh (and final) inning but failed to score.

A fine pitching performance by Carlow, in relief of Scully, saved a 6-4 victory over the University of Hartford on April 22. Trinity, down 4-2, erupted for four runs in the top of the eighth inning for a 6-4 win.

WPI came to town on April 26, defeating the Bants 9-6. The Engineers' four-run fifth and three-run sixth innings were too much to overcome. A four-run Bantam rally in the ninth was keyed by Wiggin's 400-foot triple to right.

Trinity traveled to Tufts April 27 for a doubleheader and split 4-2 games. In the victory, Kind! pitched another three-hitter and Wiggin's last-inning single earned him the game-winning RBI. The following week Trin lost 9-3 to Amherst, and 5-2 and 8-5 to Wesleyan, all at home. The powerful Lord Jeffs entered the game with a 9-2 record and .343 batting average.

The Springfield College game was disappointing. Though the final score was 18-7, Trinity led 5-3 after four and one-half innings. This was the last game prior to the historic tripleheader, which let Trinity go out on a positive note.

By Peter Schuller '74 The Trinity golf team accepted a challenge last spring season, a challenge put forth by virtue of its faltering records in recent years and by the lack of emphasis placed on the sport. By responding to the challenge, the members of the 197 4 team produced riot only the best record of any Trinity varsity during the spring season but also compiled the most wins ever by a Trinity golf team, nine.

In 1966, Trinity golfers amassed an 8-2 record, the best at that time in the history of the sport at Trinity. This season the team surpassed that with a 9-4 total, establishing a new mark for number of wins in a season. The 197 4 team, in order of playing position, Peter Schuller, Henry Bruce, Ed Staudinger, captain George Finkenstaedt, Andy Taussig, Chris Jennings, Tom Shultz, and alternate Rich Huoppi also managed a second place finish in the Connecticut State Intercollegiates and eleventh place in the New England Collegiates.

The season started at home against the University of Rhode Island and Worcester Polytech. Trinity won both matches 4-3.

Next the team swamped Conn College 7-0 and narrowly beat the University of Hartford, 4-3. The team then travelled to Wesleyan where they increased their record to 6-0 by handling Bowdoin 5-2 and Wesleyan 6-1. After defeating Coast Guard 6-1, Trinity went to the ·Connecticut Intercollegiates and finished a strong second behind Central Connecticut, led by Peter Schuller's 73, the lowest score ever posted by a Trinity player in that event. Following the Connecticuts, the team had a rough week, succumbing to powerful Williams and Dartmouth, then finishing a disappointing eleventh (in a field of over 40 teams) in the New Englands. The week after that Trinity throttled AIC 7-0 but took a hard loss to Springfield 4-3 in their last home match and then beat MIT 7-0 and lost to Harvard by the same score to wind up the season at 94.

The individual records showed that the team had good depth: Schuller finished 8-2-1, Bruce 9-2, Stuadinger 7-4, Finkenstaedt 9-2, Taussig 5-6, Jennings 7-4, Schultz 7-4, and Huoppi 1-1. (There were two medal play matches which do not figure into the individual records and account for the discrepancy between the · latter totals and the overall team record.)

Lacrosse

By Alan Stark '74 Although the 1974 Trinity Laxmen finished the season with an overall 5-6 record, this junior oriented team has a bright future. Of the 107 goals scored this year all but six were by underclassmen.

The offensive minded Bants broke six college scoring records: season scoring team goals (107) ; season assists (54); season team points (161); career goals (59 Nick Bensley 1973-4); season goals-midfielder (26 Chris Max). Another record which speaks well of an individual is Jeff Ford's 176 goalie saves.

The laxmen started on April 6 with a 7-6 defeat at the hands of Holy Cross.

Trin came back a week later behind the efforts of Chris Max (2 goals, 1 assist) to (Continued on Page 4)
