ROLOG UE

upon publishing the 1958 Dwight Scroll, the editorial staff has been concerned with three goals. First, the staff wishes to congratulate the school on a fine school year. Secondly, it feels it is the Scroll staffs duty to present to the graduating class a book which will provide its readers a memory of the past four years at Dwight. Finally, we wish to present to the student body a panorama of this past year.

When the events of this year have passed into just a vivid memory, we, the members of the Dwight Scroll, hope that this years annual will always remain to the students a cherished reminder of the history of Dwight.

Our Headmaster

W IN T O N L. MILLER, JR.

Dwight School students are indeed fortunate to have as their headmaster Mr. Winton

L. Miller, Jr. Mr. Miller has done much to make Dwight a school which emphasizes the

individual. His personality sets the standard for fairness, tolerance, and democracy-

which all schools should teach. W e of the Senior Class salute him for the fine results he

has achieved in enriching our school life.

Each year it is the pleasure of the students of Dwight to honor a faculty member. This year we are delighted to bestow that honor upon our ever-popular mathematical graduate of the University of London, Mr. Theodore Jones.

Although he is most noted for his monitorial system on the fourth floor, we enjoy his impromptu witticisms. In addition, Mr. Jones is enhanced by three assets: his incredible knowledge of mathematics, his British sense of humor, and his sweet undertones.

For these reasons we, as representatives of Dwight, affectionately salute Mr. Theodore Jones.

The past season of the Dwight basketball team was really quite an eventful one. W ith a record of twelve wins and one loss, excluding a default of seven games for a trivial technicality, the students of Dwight certainly have a right to feel proud of their team. Tliis years team was superbly coached by Mr. Neville and Mr. Ronan. All in all, the team showed wonderful sportsmanship in all their victories, which, at press time, had brought them to the finals of the League Tournament against De LaSalle.

Behind the Team

B A S E B A L L

Our baseball team is looking forward to a successful season this year. Unfortunately, we can do little more than predict inasmuch as our printing deadline precedes the opening of the baseball season. But win or lose, we know we can count on the Dwight nine to put up a good fight, especially with the spirited leadership of Coach Ronan. Several new players were expected this year, including Tony Capraro, a star player from Riverdale, and Orfando DeCastro, who hails from Cuba. Pitching ace, Mike Zendan, Carl Steiner, and Carlo Busso are among the holdovers from last year. Our schedule includes games with Columbia Grammar, McBurney, Rhodes, St. Francis Prep, Barnard, and Loyola.

_

T E N N I S

J. Cole, K. Bernasconi, M. Erdheim, Mr. Ronan, D. Miller, R. Honig, R. Reuben.

Although the outcome of this years tennis play will not be known before the Scroll goes to press, our racket men have already grown in number since last year. One of the handicaps that the team was under last year was the uncertainty of the availability of courts for the practice that makes a team perfect. W e hope also that this years weather will prove more favorable to the team, which will be coached by Mr. Ronan. The Dwight racket-wielders are looking forward to future competition with great enthusiasm.

I N T R A M U R A L S

Dwight in 1957 started intramural sports. Most conspicuous among these were our five intramural basketball teams:

KNICKS: Hackett, Captain; Hernandez, Pellegrino, Butler, Murphy, Kahn.

WARRIORS: Klobus, Captain; Foth, DuBou, Lakis, DeCaro, Seeke, Canton, Monetti.

PISTONS: Bordonaro, Captain; Bleier, Grube, Clarke, Williams, L. Goetz, N. Goetz, ODonnell.

ROYALS: Kosiner, Captain; Orgel, Camunas, Tudanger, Baumgartner, Gunn, Wadel, Hogan.

CELTICS: MacEachern, Captain; Tamburrino, King, Bokor, Cayatte, Fields, Hanley, R. Honig.

Among the high scorers were Bordonaro, Bleier, Foth, Hackett, and Cayatte. At the time the Scroll went to press, the Pistons were the leading contender for first place. The best players in the league were scheduled to participate in an All-Star game.

During the Spring semester, Dwight also had a ping-pong tournament underway. Boys who competed were: T. Smith, T. Bahlinger, D. Miller, C. Busso, T. Canton, H. Tudanger, J. McBride, M. Erdheim, M. Bleier, C. Steiner, J. May, M. Cayatte, S. Rosen, R. Rubinstein, H. ODonnell, J. Dick, F. Irizarry, and R. Honig. At press time, Erdheim was to play Steiner and Rosen was to play Irizarry in the semi-finals.

Each month for the past several years the students of Dwight have enjoyed reading the Dwightonian, our school newspaper. Under the excellent supervision of Mr. Asch, the staff has published monthly a newspaper worthy of high praise. In addition, the staff has written articles of school life, editorials which would rival many of our small town newspapers and humorous cartoons.

The staff of the Scroll wish to congratulate the Dwightonian on their many fine issues of this school year. This years editor, Tony DiFilippo, was assisted by Tony Capraro, George Herr, Sports editors; Jeff Hackett, Associate Editor; Carl Steiner, News Editor, and all-in-all a hard working staff.

This year the Student Council followed the precedent set by last years Council bringing about improvements not only in the building but also in the general behavior of the student body. Acting as a court, the Council members heard charges brought against student violators of the schools rules and meted out punishments where needed. Under the leadership of Kenneth Bernasconi, president; Carl Steiner, vice-president; and Michael Zendan, secretary-treasurer, the Council met weekly to discuss issues pertinent to their avowed aim of school betterment.

So far the Debating Team has debated with success against Columbia Grammar, Rhodes, and Xavier High Schools. In general, all members did considerable research into their topics, with the speeches being good from the standpoint of content and delivery.

Such topics as the following were debated: "Resolved, the United States should continue its program of foreign aid, "Disarmament would prove disastrous to the West, and "Year-Round Schools are a solution to our current educational problem. In addition to Michael Erdheim, secretary, the more heard from members of the Debating Team were Michael Karp, George Herr, John Santelli, Tony Canton, Michael Bleier, Chester Frank, Charles Orgel, Richard Frank, Robert Leyendecker, Glenn Gumbinner, Norman Olsen, Michel Cayatte, and David Rackmill.

This year the Dwight Glee Club has made more progress than ever before, thanks to the skillful guidance of its directress, Mrs. Post. Without her outstanding musicianship, her patience, and her cheerfulness, the Glee Club would not have been the closely- knit, impressive organization that it was.

The Glee Club has tendered the school many splendid performances throughout the year, including the Thanksgiving and Christmas Assemblies. Members of the Glee Club were also represented, both vocally and instrumentally, in the Variety Show in March.

This small organization has shown a tremendous amount of school spirit, which should set an example for other students. Robert Reuben was the Glee Club president, Ross Honig, student conductor, and Paul Honig and Walter Kirton, accompanists.

As in the past years, Dwight students were able to find in their library under the patient and expert guidance of Mr. Putney and Mr. Murray a storehouse of knowledge. Whether it was for a research paper or a book to read for sheer pleasure, the students found what they looked for, thanks to the cooperation of the Library Committee.

SPANISH LANGUAGE CLUB

SECOND ROW : C. Orgel, R. Tarwid, M. Cayatte, A. Farina, H. Baumgartner, C. Pet- relli, D. Sutton.FIRST ROW: H. Kosiner, J. Camunas, Mr. Goodman, H. Tudanger, R. Lashaw.

A new addition to the activity period this year has been the Spanish Language Club. It was started for the purpose of acquiring a knowledge of the culture and the civilization of the Spanish people, whose language we study. The method of study has centered around foreign films, games, lectures and excursions to the Hispanic Museum, a Spanish restaurant and to the United Nations.

Sponsored by Mr. Goodman, the club has achieved much. Its officers were Franco Baseggio, president; Sam Goldstein, secretary; and Robert Lashaw, treasurer.

PHOTOGRAPHY CLUB

SECOND ROW: F. Carr, L. Brod, R. Foth, P. Klose.FIRST ROW; A. MacEachern, M. Kahn, Mr. Gale, R. Rattazzi, F. Tamburrino.

The Photography Club this year started with one of the largest mennberships in its history. Under the leadership of Co-Presidents Matthew Kahn and Richard Rattazzi, the club made great strides in utilizing various photographic techniques. A great deal of the credit for this is due Mr. Gale, who is the Photography Clubs faculty advisor.

Kept busy by the increasing demand for pictures for the Scroll, the Photography Club is a major contributor to the quality of our past and present yearbooks. Since several members of the club had had no previous knowledge of the techniques of photography, the club has a dual purpose. This was (1) to increase the knowledge and working ability of students acquainted with the fundamentals of photography and (2) to instruct students in the primary steps of photography. This purpose has instilled in the members the art of good citizenship and cooperation, which is place on an equal plane with the acquisition of technical -skill.

IN MEMORIAM

STEPHEN POTTER McNALLY

1934-1958

A member of Dwights Class of 1950, Stephen Potter McNally, was graduated from the United States Naval Academy, Annapolis, in June, 1954.

Steve was captain of the 1949-50 basketball team and led his team in scoring. An outstanding student, Steve was selfless in his contributions to his classmates and to his school. Upon completion of his flight training at Pensacola, Steve received his Navy Aviators Wings. His tragic death in a carrier landing accident ended what should have been a brilliant navy career.

All of us at Dwight who knew Steve feel a deep sense of personal loss. No finer gentleman could leave so many friends.

CLASS PROPHECY

On April 1, 1970, as Dr. Ian MacLeod entered the Super-Jet Rocket Ship for the 20-minute hop from New York to San Francisco, he noted that the sign on the crews cabin indicated Peter Klose was the pilot and Bill Groenendyke the navigator. The names sounded familiar, but he couldnt place them; so he settled down to read his microfilm edition of Robert Lashaws latest best-seller, "I Married a Cannibal. Whenthe plane stopped at St. Louis to pick up a passenger, the doctor went into the commissary for a steak and french fries capsule. He saw Richard Frank doing a bang-up job of sweeping up the lunchroom.

At Frisco the doctor debarked and was directed to the taxi stand by porter Charles Petrelli. Cabbie Michel Cayatte drove the doctor immediately to the beautiful west coast campus of Dwight School, where he was to receive an honorary diploma from headmaster Joe Toto. It was with no little surprise that Dr. MacLeod spotted among the brightlooking seniors their perennial classmate, Jerry Cole. "If I can only pass English IV, Cole was heard to say, "Id be able to blow this joint.

After dinner (a dull affair at Bruce Nichols Drive-In) the doctor went to the late show at the Club Hot-Cha, now owned by the notorious Tommy Hart. The headlineattraction was interpretive dancer David Rackmill, and the bongo music was providedby Mike Bleiers Baby-faced Bulldogs, a cool combo currently the rage in recordings on the Tarricone label. Returning to the Hilton-Erdheim Hotel, the doctor stopped at the bar. He was shocked to see Dudley Sutton prone on the floor. "Maybe he is still practicing yoga, thought Doc. "Whatll it be? asked the fleshy bartender, Mike Barker. "Make it a 100-proof Belden Special on-the-rocks, was the doctors rejoinder.

Back in his room, the doctor couldnt sleep. He called room service for a masseur, and who should come up but Mike Zendan, wielding a huge baseball bat. "Whats that for? our hero inquired, casually. "Dont worry. Mac, Zendan answered shedding his shirt to-reveal bulging muscles of steel. "Dis here is a sure cure for insomnia I picked up back in some Noo Yawk reform school from one of the guards, name of Harms. And so saying, he let the doctor have it on the noggin.

Awakening several days later in the psychiatric ward of a hospital, the first thing MacLeod saw was the sneering face of male nurse Eli Kanner, who was about to inject some tranquilizer. "Now, said the unforgiving Eli, "dont you wish you hadnt made fun of me back at Dwight? There was only one out for the doctor at this late stage. Quickly he turned on his two-way wrist radio. "Calling all Bussos! he screamed, and in the time it takes to wink an eye, in flew a patrol of Super-Bussos (and a few little Bussos). They immediately mispronounced a word, thus mortifying Kanner into unconsciousness, and saved our hero.

Back in New York, the doc rushed at once to the Capraro-DiFilippo matzoh ball faaory to tell his best friends of his strange adventure. "Golly! said the two Tonies in unison, "this is one for Howie Glucksmans gossip column.

WHERE ARE Y O U G O I N G ?

On the important occasion of your graduation from Dwight, we who stay be

hind ask you: Where are you going?

The paths you may take upon your departure are varied. We hope that you

have developed the foresight and conscience to enable you to choose the way which will

lead you to the greatest success.

It is sometimes difficult to evaluate the proper channel in order to avoid the

obvious traps and pitfalls of the wrong road. It has been our aim at Dwight to help you

acquire the ability to see the right.

. As a group you will be called upon to defend yourselves and your country from

those who would destroy our heritage. If you will but keep the fires of freedom burning

and rekindle the spark of enterprise that characterized our beginnings, you will have

made your mark in life.

WintonL. Miller, Jr.

Headmaster

E P I L O G U E

And so we come to the end of our journey through the halls of Dwight, our excursion into four years which, for the majority of us, will long remain as fond and happy memories. W e have paused to shake in sad farewell the helping hands of the

faculty to whom we have grown attached. W e have seen Dwight School in action, in its

athletic endeavors of which we may all be proudand at play (in which we have all indulged).

Now that you Dwightonians have turned to this last page o'f our 1958 biography,

the Scroll staff hopes that it has accomplished a true end to its goals. As memories

keep returning to us, we think not only of school but also of our school chums, our

sorrows and our joys.To each and every student we wish all the success, luck, and happiness that is

attainable.

Success is yours to strive for!
