INTELLECT

H AVING the opportunity once again to demonstrate what Trinity students can do in an emergency, Dr. Ogilby took control last fall when, for the second time,

Hartford was visited by a flood, the aftermath of a hurricane. Relief workers were sent off to the R ed Cross headqua rters, men were sent to Colt's Dike, and others were distributed around the city at various relief center s. Dr. Ogilby himself showed that those in authority were not too high up when he went to the dike and put in

several hours work filling and placing sand bags.

But it is not only in hi s g reat work during the hurricane and flood era that the Pres ident is to be r emembered. During the yea r the campus and grounds have been imp roved , steps have been taken to eliminate the destructi ve " Bottle Night," and best of all, Dr. Edouard Benes, former president of Czecho-Slovakia, is coming to

g ive the principal address a t the Commencement.

This year p roduced the bigge t enrollment that Trinity has ever had. Ever mind­fu l of the needs of a small college, Dr. Og ilby has realized that with a new dormitory, the college co uld have even higher st andards than the present ones . But mindful also of the need to keep a small college small , the enrollment will continue to be the same.

STUDENT LEADERS

THE SENATE

DURING the past year, as in previous years, the Senate has taken an active and helpful part in college affairs. The most important thing that they have done

was to initiate, under the leadership of Robert Muir, a fund for the new Field House. Speaking in Chapel on a W ednesday morning, Muir stated that it would be a simple job if everyone got behind the Senate in its drive for funds. $500 was to be raised by Commencement.

The most important thing that the Senate has done in activities outside the college was to help out the city of Hartford in its annual campaign for money for the Community Chest. And, as with the R ed Cross Drive, boxes were distributed in the fraternity houses and on campus, and a substantial sum was raised for both very worthy causes .

Seve ral Senate dances were held thi s year, the first one a fter the Coast Guard football game. Others were held from time to time, with the two held for raising money for the Field House actually making money.

Freshman rul es were once again in order this yea r, until aboli shed by the Senate just before Thanksgiving. A new mascot, " Thurman," and a student band for football games were two of the other noteworth y projects carried through by the Senate.

Fourteen

With that remarkable quality that all S enators seem to be endowed with, this year's Senate handled all matters of finance with a keen presence of mind, dealing out the money wisely and well to the IVY , J esters, Glee Club, and Dance Committee .

THE MEDUSA

A year ago four new members were added to the Medusa, the Senior Honora ry Society, charged with maintaining discipline and traditions at Trinity.

This year 's members include those who have been most outstanding on the Hill during their fir st three years at Trinity. Robert M. Muir, Jr. was Presi­dent of the Senate, a four-year letterman in swimming, member of the I vy Board, a J ester, and President of the Interfraternity Council. Ethan F. Bass­ford was Secretary of the Senate, Sec ret a ry of the Interfraternity Council, Editor-in-Chief of the 1939 Ivy, and a member of the Political Science Club. ''Villiam l\L Gorman was Treasurer of the Senate, a member of the I vy Board, and Editor-in-Chief of the Tripod. Edward L. Morris was a letterman in football baskf'tball, and baseball for three years.

PHI BETA KAPPA

The Beta of Connecticut, the Trinity Chapter of Phi B eta Kappa, was chartered by the Yale Chapter, the Connecticut Alpha, on June 16, 1845, and is the eighth in

Fifteen

order of foundation. To satisfy the scholastic requirements, . a student must have attained at least the grade of A in at least ten courses, and a grade of B (or better) in ten additional courses. The members chosen in 1938 were:

SENIOR CLASS HISTORY

No ONE can predi ct with any assurance of accuracy which of the many char­acteristics or accomplishments of a college g raduating class will distingui sh it

from those annual groups that have gone before in the procession of higher lea rnin g at Trinity College, but certainly the present student body thinks of its seniors as men who have had the courage and the initiative to introduce substantial changes at this college so hallowed with tradition.

The college, in its one-hundred and fifteenth yea r as a chartered institution has witnessed the revival Qf a college literary magazine, The Trinity R eview. That tra­ditional collegiate extra-curricular activity, forensic combat, has been reborn amid much enthusiasm. An active drive by the students for a field house was started by the college student body head, Robert Muir, in hope that with the aid of the alumni this dream may at last be r ealized. Yearly contests of fraternity singing will get under way this spring. And certainly no one denies that their spirit of crusading has helped to make the Soph Hop and the J este rs' production, in conjunction with tbe Wig and Candle. of the Connecticut College for Women, of Sidney Howard's " The ! .ate Christopher Bean," great_ successes; ocially, artistically, and, most of all, financially.

Time and time again during the last four yea rs figur es from the preceding classes have copped the headlines . In fact, the members of the Class of 1939 might well have f eared that the lustre of th eir outwardly more prosaic band would be dimmed in the glamor and clamor surrounding th e nationally-known athletes, and­what's more-the optimi of recent years, but now as the final count is taken let it ~e known that this class of personalities has left an indelible mark in the annals of Trinity.

HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF 1940

SOME one hundred and eighty-odd bewildered freshmen arrived on the campus on a hot September day to take up for four years the pursuit of learning. After

tussling with trunks and other articles, we walked over to the fain Office, had tuition and other monies extracted from us, and started in the round of parties, dates, bull sessions over profs and courses, and e\·erything else that goes to make up a rushing season. Two weeks later fifty-five of us helped to close the season officially by pledg­ing one of the eight fraternities.

Coaches Bill Orrick and Tom Wadlow had had their charges out for a week by the time rushing was over. A squad of forty-five men had reported the first day, although after a week or so this was pared down to about twenty-five. The season, though devoid of any actual victories, was not an unsuccessful one. After we had been taken over by Choate by a score of 26-0, we returned to the Trinity Field to hold Wesleyan to a 7-7 tie. The next week we journeyed to Connecticut State for the third and final game. Ending in a scoreless tie, the game was noteworthy from a Trinity standpoint, since not one substitution was made. Outstanding on the team were Alexander, Dimling, Hopkins, Lindner, Randall, and Captain Kelly, all of whom played varsity football later on.

Came our first college dance, the Sophomore Hop under the guidance of Bob Muir. Red Carino's orchestra furnished the music. The J esters' also performed that week-end, presenting "Seven Keys to Ba ldpate."

At th e first class election Johnny Dim ling was elected to lead us, Jim ~ eill elected Vice-President, and Jimmy Lathrop the Secretary-Treasurer.

After the Chri stmas vacation the mid-yea r examinations came along to bother us. Some t en or twenty familiar faces were missing after th e first hurdles of our collegiate career.

With the second term basketball and swimming also arrived to brighten up the more academic side of college life. Spik Manice, Jimmy Lathrop, and "Axie" Aksomitas made things brighter for Joe Clarke, "Axie" establishing a new pool record for the 200-yard breaststroke.

A few weeks after the mid-year examinations about twenty of us who had survived the mid-yea rs well enough were put through our paces during the annual "Hell Week." The small number created a good bit of comment on wheth er or not the fraternities were on th eir way out, but succeeding years have proved otherwise.

Spring sports arrived on the campus and found Stan Alexander, P ete Rihl , Bill Kelly, and Rafe Shelly doing th eir bit for Dan J essee's baseball nine, while W' hite, Riley, McLaughlin, Moran, Bud Smith, Pankratz, and Lindner puffed around the track for Ray Oosting.

The Senior Ball, that cure-all for laziness, came with Count Basie strutting his stuff at th e Hartford club ea rly in May. "Bottle Night," the tradition that sprang

up in two years, found a good many of us helping the maids to clear our rooms of a

good bit of otherwise unmanageabl e junk. The college truck was forced to make

four trips before th e campus was presentable. Soon after final s arrived to close out

our first year "' eath the Elms."

As sophomores we watched Captain H erb Vinick lead his t eam through an

interesting though mediocre season. Kelly, Carey, Dimling, and Rihl were awarded

Forty-three

F01·ty-{our

their varsity letters for their outstand­ing play. Our class elections were held, this time amidst th e shout of "dirty politics." Rafe Shelly ascended to the pres idency, Tommy McLaughlin be­came Vice-President, and AI Hopkins took over the thankless job of Treas­urer (even though the Senate had abolished class dues, the Treasurer must carry on) .

A week afte r the J este rs had col­laborated with Vassar in putting on " The Warrior's Husband," with sev­eral members of our class helping out in the production, we staged our first class dance. Under the able guidance of Chairman Don Smith and his large committee, the affair was a great social success, though Don had some explain­ing to do about why the dance was not financially successful.

Once again the p eriod after mid­years found us missing a few more of the familiar faces, so many in fact that our class had been whittled down to · ninety-one. But still the wheat was with us.

Carey, Lindner, and F erguson rep­resented us on the basketball t eam, Carey being elected the captain for the next year. And as befo re Aksomitas, Don Smith, and Gus H eusser carried the flag for 1940 on the swimming t eam.

"Dirty politics" was once aga in the cry as the "machine" machined its candidates through the class elections, the previous officers being re-elected . This year was the fir st that we were permitted to have beer at our election celebrations.

The ball team again had Shelly and Kelly to help it through many a tough spot, with P ete Rihl on hand with his "Aha-Aha," and Capobianco helping out at short.

The combination Junior-Senior Ball with Mal Hallett proved to be just

what we needed to wake us up to the fact that finals were almost upon us.

Returning in 1938 eighty-five strong, we helped Dan and his grid machine by having Dimling, Alex­ander, Carey, Hopkins, Randall, and Rihl on the team. Once again in the fall elections the Old Guard tri ed its utmost to get organized, but the strength of the "machine" was just too much for them.

W e attended the Sophomore Hop at the Hartford Club early in D ecember and the next night took in the J esters' new show. Collaborating with the Wig and Candle of Connecticut College for Women, the thespians actually made some money.

Mid-yea rs again roll ed around, and again the class shrank. Our champion breaststroker, Aksomitas, helped out fremendously with the swimming. H e has yet to lose a race in dual inter­collegiate competition. A few weeks after the season closed "Axie" came through with a fifth in the Inter­collegiates held at ew Haven. The basketball t eam turned in a fin e sea­son with only three losses out of twelve games. F erguson, Lindner, and Randall all played well with Dick Lindner being elected captain for next year.

The Senior Ball this year featured two orchestras, Benny Meroff's and Erskine Hawkins '. Following the dance, the J est ers obliged us with a presentation of Robert Sherriff's " Journey's End."

And so as we go to press ( late, as always, but later than usual ), we find the ball team losing most of its games, the track team completing a fair season, and the tennis doing the same. The fin als are on us. Five exams in four days are too much.

CLASS OF NINETEEN FORTY-ONE

I N S E PTE MBER oF 1937, a group of fr eshmen invaded the Trinity campus. This group became the class of 1941, and the upper-clas smen had taken it upon them­

selves to make sure of its identity by placing upon the innocent heads of its members, small blue caps. Rumors of previous fr eedom from such humiliation sti rred up a resentment among the more " dignified" and "assertive," and there were quite a few of these afte r the fir st few days of rushing, of the newly arrived. Time showed these men that Trinity was kind to its fr eshmen and treated th em with an equality many of them did not deserve.

The neutrals drove D exter into the Presidency by clever, not altogether " clean" politics. The meeting was the one red spot in the class history. The neutrals were unexpectedly prepared for the fraternity offensive. Experience matured these untried practices. In the second year of its exist ence, with the usual bartering of offices, Conway took over the executive position , and the wheels of the machine were well oiled and turning smoothly.

In athletics the class has afforded the college good material, p a rticularly in swimming and basketball. In intellectual pursuits, it has run the gamut of marks, and the gamut of character. Unlike some other classes, it has not been too heavily slaughtered at th e fatal p eriods of exams, and has hung on with remarkable t enacity. The class has been well represented in ex tra-curricula r activities, on college publica­tions and in the clubs.

Wbat is the future of the class? Who dares prophecy? But we might suggest a hopeful one in all field s of endeavor while it yet r emains in college. It has the potentialities to be a good advertisement for Trinity in the outside world. When it breaks through the cloiste red mist of its Alma Ma ter , it will not be daunted by the brilliance of the glow of realism, nor will its identity be lost in the overwhelming numbers it must face.

CLASS OF NINETEEN FORTY-T\(lQ

O LD Mother Nature conspired with the college officials and the fraternities to give the Class of 1942 a rousing welcome to Trinity. From fifteen diffe rent

states its members ventured onto the campus, one hundred and eighty-two timid freshmen, to be g reeted by a hurricane, a flood, a back-slapping, band-pumping throng of prosp ective brothers, and a new cut syst em. Off to a stormy start, the class is still pursu:ng a rough course, veering perilously between intellectualism and

athleticism.

Bringing a new era in athletics to Trinity, this class produced an unbeat en foot­ball t eam and a fi ghting basketball team which lost only three of its twelve games. Kramer and Mugford easily stole the football honors ; while Carey and Fresher piled up the most points for the basketball team. Although the swimming team had only a fair season, Orfitelli, Earle, and Madigan set several new reco rds . The baseball team was promising . Viering, W ebb, Ford, Mugford, and Biedler, a ll boasted batting averages over three hundred. Scully was a very good pitcher .

The Soph Hop proved a g reat attraction to the ladies' men of 1942, while " The Late Christopher Bean," ably presented by th e Jesters, pleased the freshman devotees of drama.

The dreaded mid-years came and went, and in spite of the D ean' s g rim prophecies most of the class returned to pay the bills for the Trinity term and to look forward to the Easter vacation. "Hell W eek," with all its accompanying tortures, took the starch out of a number , but before long they were up and about again, fifty-two

strong.

Little campaigning was done for the second election, but questionable politics were in evidence. Tommy ' Vood was elect ed President ; Arthur M cKibbin, Vice­Pres ident; and Marty ';y ood, S ecretary-Treasurer .

VARSITY FOOTBALL

T HE well-drilled but unlucky football team garnered the poorest record for six seasons this year, winning two, tieing one and losing three games. In spite of the

size of the college this is considered a poor showing for an eleven coached by Dan Jesse. The principal fault of the Blue and Gold warriors was their lack of scoring punch; they could almost always gain yardage, but they had trouble making touch­downs when they were needed.

On Labor Day a comparatively large but not too promising squad assembled and was sent outside for conditioning. Bad luck in the form of injuries and sickness soon appeared. By the time for the first game W eeks and Moran were out for the season, Lindner, a letter-man at guard last year, was crippled so that he could only play in the final game of the season, and Walsh could not play for a month.

The opening game was scheduled to be at Vermont, but it was called on account of wet weather. That was the week-end after the hurricane had played the flood, and the roads were so impassable that the only way to get to the enemy camp was by plane. The team was not ready for that game anyway because many of the squad had spent Friday night at the dike saving Hartford from the rampaging river.

Coming from behind in the last quarter, the J essemen opened their season by defeating a scrappy Union eleven nineteen to thirteen by virtue of a thirty-five yard touchdown pass from Rihl to Kelly. Ed Morris was the running star, while Jack Carey shone defensively at his new center position. Trinity showed a good offense both through the air and along the ground, but th e poor pass defense helped the opponents complete seven out of ten aerials.

In the first half the Blue and Gold scored twice on long marches down the field. Then as half-time approached the Union offense went into action. Hammerstrom completed three passes to Patrie starting from midfield and finishing in the end

Eighty-three

zone. In the next half, after a Trin drive fail ed, the visitors marched to their second score, adding the point to go into the lead. Trinity swept back, however, and scored the winning touchdown promptly.

After this auspicious beginning th e warriors journeyed to Worcester Tech. where they lost twelve to six. An early epidemic of fumbles on the part of the visitors and the excellence of Forkey's play ing created a d eficit too great to be overcome by Trinity's late passing attack. The engineer s scored twice in the fir st t en minutes on two blocked kicks. After these two thrust s both offenses failed to function for a sustained drive until midway throug h the final period when Trin ' passes clicked for a touchdown. Although at the time it seemed tha t, if Trinity had played its best, the team could have won, Worcest er completed its schedule without a defeat and was considered one of the leading small college squads in New England.

Again away from home the gridders were held to a six to six ti e by a fighting Hobart eleven. Although visitors outgained them considerably and threat ened to score often, the scoring punch was lacking. It remained for D eed Harris, a Sopho­more who took the sick Ed Morris's place, to cross the opponents ' goal on an inter­cepted pass. Late in the third quarter, after all the Blue and Gold thrusts had failed, and when Hobart was threatening, this fleet-footed back picked the ball from the air and hurried eighty yards for the counter.

Hobart scored fiv e running plays after r eceiving the opening kickoff. Thinking the Trinity line easy to crack, they tried to rush the point after touchdown. Because of a Trin offside they had two chances, but even then they could not push the ball over. Trinity threatened twice during the remainder of the half, but th e home team held. Most of the third quarter Trinity was pushed close to their own goal line until Harris's score. Throughout the las t quarter the visitors advanced close to the end zone but could not reach it.

Returning for their second home game the players defeat ed Coast Guard twenty­six to six. Running and passing to scores in every p eriod, the Blue and Gold ran up the highest tally of the campaign while halting the Coast Guard passing attack successfully whenever it approached the goal. In addition to the score this game was notable for the first appearance of an announcing system at Trinity . It worked very well. Befo re the game its powerful voice re-echoed over the campus: "Testing-Can you hear me?" and la t er, with somewhat reduced volume, "Morris goes over for a touchdown" or " H e was tackled by Carey." Another conspicuous newcomer was Thurman, the handsome but unlucky mascot. This was the white rooster 's only taste of victory for th e season .

A drop-kick was the marg in of defeat when Trinity visited W esleyan and lost seven to six, but the Blue and Gold went down fi ghting . The first quarter of this traditional match con sist ed mostly of a punting duel with Rihl having a decided edge. By the sta rt of the second qua rter his kicks had forced Wesleyan inside their twenty yard line so that after the retu rn kick Trin's offense could open up arou nd mid-field. After some minor advances Carey decided he really wanted t o sco re and gave the ball to Ed Morris seven times in succession . The latter counted from the fifteen ya rd line on hi s seventh try on an "in-and-out" play, a pet sco ring play of Coach J e$se. Although the con version was missed , it was not deemed important because, at the time, the visi tors were playing th e Cardinals off their feet. The Wesmen came back with a rush, however, and using a tricky sp read formation frequently were threatening. Running more than expected from this formation, they penetrated deeply; but Trinity's valiant eleven staved them off for a moment. Unluckily they came back again . Near the twen ty-five yard line the Cardinal and Black team tried

a sp read play from which D addario passed for the score to Cagney who was on his

Eighty-four

knees just inside the end zone. Captain Daddario then kicked the point after touch­down, and the scoring was over for the day. For the rest of the half Trinity's passes were unable to combine with a running attack long enough for a sustained advance.

The second half found the Blue and Gold fighting desperately to overcome this little lead; but every time they got into scoring t erritory, the opposing defense stiff­ened and stalled the attack. Once Kelly recovered a punt accidentally touched by a Cardinal on their forty yard line, but Trin was unable to gain from there. Later, in the fourth p eriod, after a pass had brought the ball to the enemy forty-three, Morris journeyed off-tackle until brought down by the ubiquitous Daddario on the six. From there Trin lost ten yards in four downs to give up its last scoring oppor­tunity.

In this hard but clean game the outstanding players, in addition to Morris and Daddario, were Jack Carey and Jack Wilcox, who were both bulwarks on defense when they backed-up J esse's five man line, and Challis and Ali brio of the opposition.

D espite outgaining the Little Three champions twelve first downs to seven, Trinity closed its season with a nineteen to nothing loss to Amherst and its captain, Jack Joys. This twisting wraith r eturned two punts for touchdowns, one for seventy yards, the other for sixty. For good measure he also threw a forty yard touchdown pass for the visitors' other score. Jack Wilcox, the sterling guard, could not play, Sid Mills had a knee injury, Jack Carey was held together by tape and braces, and Captain Alexander was suffering from a charlie-horse. To add to these, early in th e first period Ed Morris, the hard-running halfback, fell and dislocated his shoulder so that he had to end his illustrious football career in civilian clothes on the bench. His powerhouse running was sorely missed the rest of the afternoon. Although twice returned too fast, P ete Rihl's punts were exceptionally good; and he carried the ball for one of the few times this season when he recovered the ball after one of his kicks was blocked and ran it for a first down. From the Hilltoppers ' standpoint one of the most prominent features of the game was the Trinity band. This snappy swing outfit cheered the stands and gave a much needed topic of conversation as Joys went past.

A few plays after the opening of the game Captain Alexander blocked a punt which was r ecovered by the Blue and Gold on the eighteen yard line. Trinity moved it to the twelve ; but there Morris left the game and the offense bogged down. This was the deep est p enetration by either t eam until late in the game; Amherst scoring on three long gains all in the first half.

The second half was principally a punting battle with Rihl, as usual, having a bit the better of it. The game ended with Senior Alfie Driggs, the lightest man on the squad, doing some inspirational running to move the ball down to the fifteen yard stripe. A few moments before, passes had worked the ball to the visitors' four yard marker, but the scoring punch continued to elude Trinity even to the last.

Although the t eam was well coached and able, it seemed never quite to live up to its capabilities. Nevertheless, congratulations in particular should be given to Captain John Alexander, who led the t eam in every game in spite of painful injuries, to Jark Carey, the captain-elect, who was a power ·on defense all year, and to P ete Rihl, the sixty minute blocking back who had to stay in every game because he had no substitute.

As for next year, Captain Carey can look forward hopefully because he will miss only four regulars from the lineup, John Alexander at end, Wilcox at guard, Morris at halfback, and Pacelia at fullback. Some l1 elp should also come from this

season's undefeat ed fr eshman t eam.

BASKETBALL

T HE 1939 edition of the Trinity basketball t eam, whil e it possibly could not be called the best t eam ever to r ep resent the college, was at least the "fightingest."

The squad, incomplete at the beginning of the season due to the absence of captain­elect Jack Carey because of injuries, consisted entirely of juniors and sophomores, four of whom were letter men. The team was faced with its stiffest schedule in years but came through gallantly, winning nine and losing but three, to be r ecognized as the top ranking team in Connecticut, and sixth in Jew England college ratings.

Basketball practice was begun soon after the conclusion of the football season in preparation for the opening game against Arnold on the ninth of D ecember. Trinity started the year rather dismally losing tl1is game 42- 38, and a disastrous season was predjcted by all.

The next week was to tell the story, however, for in that time Trinity was to play three of its hardest games. The first was against M.I.T. at Boston just after that t eam had beaten Harvard. By dint of sheer aggressiveness and some fine shoot­ing by Ray Ferg1,1son, Trinity was able to overcome a four point deficit and then to put on a scoring burst to win 33- 29.

Two evenings later Trinity played host to a powerful Vermont team which was still gloating over a hard-ea rned victory over Dartmouth. Behind at the half the boys of the Blue and Gold staged a thrilling rally and won on a last-second basket by Don Wal sh. This was one of the most exciting games of th e year as can be well imagined by the 37- 36 final score.

As a so rt of anticlimax Trinity visited New London on Saturday of the same

week to take on the boys from Coast Guard. The opposition was a lot stronger than

Eighty-six

anticipated, and the team was forced into an overtime period before eking out a win 39- 37. By this time Coach Ray Oosting's hair was turning a little gray from the worry over such close games.

R eturning from the Christmas vacation Trinity traveled to Worcester to engage this tall, rangy, high-scoring outfit. The boys of Worcester Tech were too tall and too good, and so Trin went down to its worst defeat, 59-41. This was the best team faced all year, and it scored more points than had ever previously been made against a Blue and Gold team. -

On January t enth Trinity again took the road, this time for just a short trip to Middletown to try their luck on the W esleyan baskets. W esleyan, the traditional rival, was a h eavy favorite because of a r ecent victory over Yale. Once again Coach Oosting's fighting men came through. B ehind at the half they came back to score twelve points in the first three minutes on the second half, playing the Cardinals completely off their feet. Trinity won another upset victory, 43-35.

Returning to the Hopkins Street Gym on J anuary fourteenth, Trinity found Haverford a soft touch after such stiff opposition and won as it pleased, 53- 26.

After a slight interruption caused by mid-year exams, Trin once more visited the city of Worcester, this time to take on Clark University. In the style customary this season, this was another thriller. The boys from Hartford managed to squeeze out a 37- 36 win on a basket by Bob Randall in the second overtime period.

On F ebruary eighteenth the t eam met Boston University on the home court and lost for the last time of the season. The t eam had been pointing for this game as the climax to a successful year and tried so hard during the first half that they scored only nine points. After the intermission the players were more relaxed, but the damage had been done and Trinity could not quite catch up, losing 35- 31. The high­light of the game was the fin e work of Dick Lindner in holding the high-scoring Solly echtem to but one field basket in the last half.

A week later Trinity met an inferior Norwich team and ran up its highest score, to win easily, 66- 31.

Trinity played host to its most important rival, W esleyan, on F ebruary twenty­eighth. The Blue and Gold team, mainly because of some sensational shooting by Ray Thompsen, was far superior: beating the Cardinals, who ultimately won the Little Three championship, by a 63- 57 score. This was the highest total of points scored against any W esleyan in the history of the college.

The final game of the year was played on March fourth , at Troy, against R.P.I. Trinity finished the season strongly. Tied with but four minutes to play, the t eam went on a scoring spree and made seventeen points before the final whistle blew. One of the outstanding features of the 56- 39 victory was the play of Jack Crockett who improved steadily from the start of the year .

The season was one of the most successful that a Trinity basketball team has ever had, and the prospects for next year are even brighter. The squad will be back in its entirety and will be re-enforced by some very promising freshmen. As a sort of a reward for the good showing of the t eam, Coach Oosting has been able to secure a game against Yale for next year.

VARSITY SWIMMING

A FTER starting out the season with four wins out of the fir st four starts, the 1938- 39 edition of the Trinity Swimming team ran into a slump and dropped

the next five meets to wind up the season with a reco rd below .500. Losing Al Secchiaroli through g rades and Bob Broat.ch through injuries undoubtedly told the story for it was in the dives and the sp rints that Joe need ed men the most.

The opening meet of the year was at New London with the Coast Guard. Ed Conway, stellar sophomore backstroker, opened hi s varsity ca reer by setting a new pool record of 1.41 in the 140 yard backstroke. Had it been in a 25-yard pool it would have been a new college r eco rd . Axsomitas a lso set a new record in the breast­stroke and these two teamed up with Don Smith to establi sh a new reco rd in the medley r elay. The final score was 42- 33.

The next meet with Union turned out to be a 40-31 victory for Joe Clarke's men. Conway kept on hi s winning fo rm by equaling the pool record, while Johnny Slowik chugged on to a win in the 220, a nd "Axie" took th e breaststroke by ten yards.

The M.I.T. nata tors were the next ones to be humbled by the Blue and Gold squad, losing 44- 31. Bob Muir and Johnn y Slowik took fir sts in the 220 and 100, while Conway and Aksomitas won their events as usual.

Th e fourth and last ta st e of victory for the Trinmen came in the Boston Uni­

versity meet. As in the Coast Guard match, Conway and Aksomitas won their events

Eighty-eight

handily and th en t eamed up with Don Smith to t ake the medley relay . Slowik won the 100-yard swim, and he and Bobby Muir finish ed second and third in th e 220.

The first loss of the season was sustained when the high -riding Springfield College outfit came to Trowbridge pool and ducked the Hilltoppers by a score of 46- 29. Conway finally broke the pool and college record in the backstroke, setting up a new mark of I :43.8, while Rawstrom, an all-Ameri can swimmer, set a new pool record of 2:20.6 in the 220-yard event. Rawstrom also won the I 00.

Williams College next invaded Trowbridge Pool and gave the Trinmen a 57- I7 annihilation. Presenting a t eam balanced in all departments, the Ephmen were easily able to outdistance Trinity. The 400-yard relay quartet of the visitors whipped through the water to set a new record of 3 :47 and Creede took the IOO, equaling the pool mark of 54. 7. The visitors medley relay team also splashed through to a new record, slicing four-tenths of a second off the old mark held by Slowik, Aksomitas, and Campbell. Ed Conway came through with the only record-breaking performance for the Hilltoppers, lowering his own time in th e backstroke to 1 :42.1.

The annual meet with W esleyan r esulted in a 44- 3 I victory for the Ca rdinals, as they presented a more balanced t eam than Trin. The highlight of the evening was the breast -stroke race between "Axie" and W esleyan's outstanding swimmer, " Rog"

P etit. Aksomitas finally won, pulling up to victory afte r being behind in the fir t lap. The season was brought to a close with a 46-49 shellacking absorbed from the

Colgate varsity. Again the lack of good men in the dashes and di,·es spelled defeat for Trin, as th e Colgate men took fir st in the 50, 100, and 220-yard races . The feature of the evening was Ed Conway, who, after taking hi s I 50-yard dorsal event, and a leg on the winning medl ey combination, backstroked to a second place in the 440-yard freestyle.

Captain "Seal" Slowik, Bobby Muir, and "Soup" Campbell will be th e three seniors who will be missing on next year 's aggregation. Joe Clarke will have Akso­mitas back for another year, along with Bud Tibbal s, Don Smith and Ed Conway, and a host of record-breaking freshmen, who will inaug ura te their varsity ca reers

BASEBALL

D AN JESSEE's boys, although hampered by an acute lack of reserves, turned in the record of four victories in an abbreviated ten game schedule. Of the six

defeats administered to the lads in blue, three were lost by a one run margin. The season's high spots included the opening with Yale in which the Elimen were for­tunate enough to gain a five to three victory to atone for the defeat which the 1937 squad administered Joe Wood's t eam, the Williams game which Trin took on an overtime session, and an even split in the home and home series with W esleyan. Due to the lack of reserves, it became commonplace to see outfielders pulled in to the pitching mound, pitchers sent to the infield, and infielders patrolling the outfield. The Blue and Gold team was a scrappy outfit on the fi eld and showed sporadic flashes of form that might be an omen for the next season, as eight of the nine regulars playing the closing game will r eturn, and but two lettermen will be lost by graduation.

The J esseemen opened the season on thei r home grounds, but carried the role of host too far by allowing the Yale squad to gain a five to three victory. The game was featured by the p erformances of Schell, the Eli hurler, and Ed Morri s; Ed show­ing up very well by allowing but six hits while getting ten strike outs as compared to the seven hit pitching of Schell. P ete Rihl poled a home run over the left-field fence in the ea rly innings, but the Yale men were not to be denied, and came back to win the game led by the hitting of Alter and Collins .

The following week Dan Jessee's charges took their first game of the year behind the air-tight pitching of Ed Morris, who let the opposing Clark batters down with but four hits, while watching thirteen batters swing vainly at the third strike. Shelly, Lapac, and Captain Bob O 'Malley led the Trinity hitting attack with two hits each. Victory was soon followed by defeat as the Colby White Mules jour­neyed down from Maine to administer an eleven to four beating to our boys despite the valiant efforts of Bill Kelly who hit two doubles.

Trinity invaded Middletown the next week and returned with a ten to eight win over the Cardinals. Ed Morris tied up the w· esleyan batters, allowing but four hits in seven innings. In the last two innings the W esmen started a belated attack that could not quite overcome the lead set up in the early innings by Trin. Lapac got the second home run of the season with Rihl getting four hits in as many times at bat, and Shelly and Kelly two hits each to build up the margin of victory.

The Saturday following the Senior Ball the J esseemen played a game which clearly showed the effects of the late hours. They managed to squeeze out a five to four win over the Coast Guardsmen in a game fraught with errors. Bill Kelly took over the pitching assignment for the afternoon and turned in a nice job by scattering the Guardsmen's eight hits, while Trin bunched their six. Shelly and Morris led the parade with two hits apiece to take the game.

Kelly again took over the pitching assignment at Worcester, but the Engineers reached him for twelve hits to take the game by a five to one count.

The Blue and Goldmen reached their season's peak in the Williams game when they snatched an extra inning win away from the Ephmen in the tenth frame. Shelly and Kelly were the co-stars for Trinity by virtue of their tie-breaking efforts which produced the winning tally. Shelly on first as a r esult of a free pass stole second and rode home on Kelly's single to end the drawn out battle that last ed two and three-quarter hours.

Next on the schedule was a trip north to Vermont to meet the men from Nor­wich Academy and Vermont University. Rain and the Vermont catamount com­bined to keep the invasion from being a success. The Norwich game was called off because of rain, while the Vermont Catamounts defeated our boys three to four (which was the first of three successive losses by the same count). Ed Morris and Budzyna drew the starting pitching assignments and proceeded to stage a pitcher's dueL Budzyna finally took the game by holding our side to five hits, Shelley's double and single and O'Malley's two blows going for naught.

The year's hostilities were wound up the following week with two home games against W esleyan and Massachusetts State, both games were lost by the score of four to three. Behind the four hit hurling of Cotter, the Cardinals bunched their hits to sneak over the winning run in their half of the seventh to even the count for the year. The followin<r Saturday the Baystaters displayed some more fine pitching with Franny Riel paired off against Ed Morris. The visitors took the game from Ed in the eighth on t.he safe smashes of Cooper, Tappin, and Steff. Rihl and Captain Bob O'Malley starred for Trin, P ete getting another home run over the left fiel.d fence, whil e O'Malley got two hits to close the career of one of the best ball players who ever appeared in a Trinity uniform.

TRA CK

W ITH seven able seniors leading the way, the Trinity track squad turned in

the second best reco rd of the year for a major sport as it nosed its way above the five hundred p er cent mark to take three of its fiv e meets, while losing the last one to Tufts in as thrilling a track meet as ever was staged on the home fi eld.

One r ecord was broken when Tommy McLaughlin b roke hi s previous year's mark in the half mile, and one reco rd was equalled when Co-captain " Ace" Brennan stepped off the century in ten and one tenth seconds to equal the mark of Steve Truex. The loss of Truex due to an injury susta ined in football was keenly felt, as Steve averaged three first places a meet . Co-captain Motten was the high scorer in individual points for th e season; others who led the team in the scoring column include Boris Pacelia, Chotkowski, Schmid, and Hogdon .

Not only was Captain-elect Truex's loss keenly felt, but a lso Joe Astman, st a r pole-vaulter, was inactive most of the season due to a knee injury incurred in foot­

ball. In the opening meet of th e year held on the Trinity track, the Blue and Gold

outdistanced the visiting Massachusetts State squad and took the meet by a 76 to 50 count. Clem l\fotten with fir sts in the high and low hurdles and Boris Pacelia with first places in the broad jump and pole yault led the Hilltoppers to a n easy victory. The following week the Oostingmen continued on their victory way by eclipsing the

ew Brita in State T eachers squad 107 Y3 to 177"). In thi s meet Tommy McLaughlin broke hi s own r eco rd in the half mil e and established the new mark a t 2.01.1. Chot­

kowski with firsts in th e shot and di scus, and Pacelia with firsts in the pole vault and broad jump were also notably outstanding for the home team.

Ninety-two

A week later on th e Cardinal's home field, Andrus Field, the Blue and Gold tracksters met defeat for the first time as the Wesmen completely routed the Hill­toppers 83 Y3 to 42 )'; . The only firsts scored by Trinity men were those by Motten in the pole vault, Collier in the low hurdles, and Ernie Schmid in the mile. Schmid ran a thrilling race a he came from third place in th e last hundred yards to nip the leading Cardinal milers. The most spectacula r event of the afternoon was the half-duel staged between Tommy McLaughlin and H a rry H eermans, the W es ace. Tommy took the pole and the lead all the way around until the last fifty yards, when H eermans stepped from behind to the front and beat Tommy to the tape by a scant five feet. McLaughlin was unofficially clocked at 1.59.1 which was well under his record set in the State T eacher's meet.

The following Saturday the Trinmen went northwards to Worceste r to par­ticipate in the Eastern Intercollegiates, and scored a total of thirteen points to place sixth in a field of nine squads. The individual point scorers were: H erb Pankratz, who, when placing fourth in the quarte r mile, unofficially broke the Trinity College record of 51 seconds for the event by at least a tenth of a second; Pacelia, a tie for first in the pole vault, Motten , a tie for third in the pole vault plus a second in the low hurdles; and Chotkowski, a fourth in the javelin.

The Hilltoppers took their third victory from the Trojans on the Rensselaer track at Troy by a 72 Y3 to 48)'3 tally. Brennan equalled the existing college reco rd in the hundred, and Motten ti ed for first in the low hurdles setting a new Rensselaer record. Other outstanding performances included McLaughlin's firsts in the quarter and half, Pacelia's firsts in the broad jump and pole vault, and Ernie Schmid's first in the mile, chalking up his fourth straight victory in the event.

The Blue and Gold track squad closed its season the following Saturday when it staged a thrilling duel with the Tuft's Jumbos on Trinity Field only to lose the meet in the very last event as th e Jumbo broadj umpers swept the first two places in th e event. Running neck and neck in the race for the victory garlands throughout the greater part of the meet, the Jumbo distance men turned the tide of victory as they swept the half, and the two mile for those deciding points and the meet 60 to 66. The outstanding men in Blue and Gold were Chotkowski, who took first in both the javelin and discus, and Brennan, who took both of the dash es. Brennan turned in his bes t time in his collegiate career in the 220 yard dash as did Motten in the low hurdles.

Twelve men earned their letters: Co-captains Motten and Brennan, Hogdon, Schmid, Perry, Pacelia, J. Alexander, Collier, McLaughlin, H eusser, Pankratz, and Chotkowski.

SOCCER

H AMPERED by the loss of six letter men, insufficiency of experienced Juniors and Sophomores for replacements, and a great deal of bad breaks at the hand of

Fate, the third Hilltop soccer team to be recognized as carrying the colors of Trinity was unable to gain a single victory.

Though often outplaying their opponent and keeping the ball in the opponent's territory most of the time in several games, McCloud's men, because of the lack of an opportunist on the front line, did not taste of victory. At no time, however, did the team become disheartened and each time as they faced a new opponent they went out on the fi eld feeling that they had just as much claim to glory as tbe foe. Through­out the season the general play in defense was outstanding. In fact, Coach Mac said that never had he had a better defensive department.

Opening the season against Worcster T ech after only a few days of preparation the boys got their first setback. The engineers, who had played several contests in advance, won, but only Trinity had held a 1-0 lead for the first half hour. It was no disgrace to bow to this team which gave one of the best displays of passing seen by several of the old veterans in several years. As a team they proved to be one of the most powerful in New England.

Confident of victory Mac and his men with the educated toes left the Elms and traveled to Clark. Up until the last minute and a half of play neither team was able

to put the sphere through the goal. Time and time again the Trinity men had

N·inety-four

chances to score, but always someone muffed it. The inexperience of the team was a glaring fact. Just as the coaches had agreed to have an extra period to settle things, a Clark hooter took aim and put one through the upper corner and the game was over.

In the next attempt of Blue and Gold soccer eleven to bring home a victory, Mac said that all rose above themselves to give a display of kicking which held him without words . Up until the last four minutes of the game they were leading by the count of 1- 0. But then Amherst scored on a p enalty kick and before the boys could get over this the Lord Jeffs put through another.

Facing Yale the next week for the first aame which the Hill toppers bad played on their new field, once again they fell to the tune of 1- 0. The wind which was blowing caused the t eam which was opposing it to play almost entirely on the de­fensive. In the second quarter the sons of Eli made their tally and the rest of the game was just a desp erate fight on the part of the Blue and Gold eleven to overcome this lead.

As is usually the case the game with W esleyan was p erhaps the best game of the season. Though the men from Middletown built up a lead of two points in the first quarter which the local hooters were never able to overcome, at no time did the

firing cease. Mass. State had things her own way the n ext week as Mac's men at last were

beginning to f eel the di scouragement of no victories. But in the Bard game they were once again confident of victory, but the loss of Gaboury at the goal because of illness made too big a gap in the defence and they ended the season without a victory. The seniors, who were playing their last game, Smith, Bates, and Hope rose to great heights, but once again the lack of opportunists cost Trinity its chances of winning.

F eeling that that great teacher, "experience," has been at work and seeing several promising players in the freshman team, Mac has bright hopes for a better season next year. This year's team he said had been a pleasure to him for it was the most aggressive t eam that he has ever had.

VARSITY CROSS-COUNTRY

T HE cross-country season this year was by no means bright, for out of six meets the Blue and Gold harriers failed to bring home one blue-ribbon . No one factor

was blamed for the poor showing, but rather a combination of inexperience, injuries and ailments. However, with a large number of sophomores and juniors on the squad, the har riers should make a better showing next yea r .

The season opened with the powerful Worcester T ech Engineers. The hard­running Engineers, out for revenge, captured five of the fir st seven places to take the meet handily.

The Ba rd match was cancelled, and Springfield came next on the list. Owen took first p lace over a four-mile course with an exceptionally fast time. Jim Caffrey was the fir st Tr inity man to fin ish, Owen barely beating him out at the tape.

Against the superior running of Captain H eermans and his t eammates of W esleyan, the Hilltoppers were badly beaten in their third meet. W esleyan 's fast t eam captured first , second, fourth, fifth, and sixth places to rout the Hilltoppers. Caffrey again came through with th e only t elling sco re for Trin, third place.

In the Connecticut Valley meet Trinity was again outclassed by its opponents, placing even th in a field of seven. H eermans of ~r esleyan took individual honors of the day, while Connecticut State's outfit breezed home with first place in the t eam showing.

In the Amherst meet Trinity showed some improvement, but it was not quite enough to win from the heavily favored Lord J effs. Picard and Maye r romped home in fir st and second to give the Sabrinas a 26- 29 victory. Charles and Caffrey starred for the home team, t aking third and fifth respectively.

The closing contes t was held at New London with the Coast Guard. Trinity men placed third, seventh, eighth, and ninth, to give the Cadets a 22- 33 win.

With no seniors on the t eam this year, Coach Oost ing is hoping for a better season than the dismal one turned in this yea r.

TENNIS TEAM

T HE varsity tennis team had a fai rly successful season, completing six matches, winning four and losing two, while being rained out in the seventh, after leading

3 to 2. With several lette rmen in its ranks, the squad started practice ea rly in prepara­

tion for its first match with Tufts on April 23. The superior power of the Jumbos triumphed 8-1. The Clark match was rained out after five matches had been com­pleted. The Trinity racqueteers dropped their next contest, on May 7, to Williams by an 8-1 score. Th e next four matches were taken rath er eas ily by tl1 e Blue and Gold, the t eam winning over Springfield, University of Vermont, and Assumption of Worcester by 8-1 scores, and 0\·er Worcester T ech by a 5- 1 score. The team also competed in the New England Intercollegiates which were held at Trinity for the first time in many years, but they were unable to get beyond the second round in the quest for the championship which was won by Dartmouth.

Captain Jack Parsons, Ben Rowhowsky, Whitey Dodge, and Charlie Harris were outstanding on th e first string and will provide Coach Altmaier with much material for the next season.

FRESHMAN FOOTBALL

W ITH one of the largest squads ever to come out for freshman football at Trinity, Coach Ralph Erickson, in his second year at directing the yearling

gridsters, predicted great things for the team. Facing a three-game schedule including Choate, unbeaten in prep school and college freshman competition in three years, and with a half a dozen ex-prep and high school captains on the squad, the group settled down for hard work in preparation for its initial encounter, on October 29,

with Choate. The game played at ·wallingford was extremely close, with the ball see-sawing

back and forth for three quarter as neither team threatened. In the fourth quarter Mugford took the ball around his own right end for twenty yards, and what proved to be the only sco re of the contest. Bill Kramer, ace fullback, place-kicked the ball for the conversion, and the game ended with the score in favor of Trinity, 7-0.

The second game of the season, against Marianapolis College of Thompsonville, proved to be a walkaway for the freshmen. The Marianapolis team arrived late, and darkness prevented the playing of the second half. Trinity had little difficulty in winning, scoring almost at will to pile up a total of twenty-seven points against the visitors' seven. Kramer, Mugford, and Fresher excelled in the backfield, while Beidler, Will, and Rodgers were outstanding in the line.

With Mugford and Kramer leading the attack in the third game, this time against Suffield, the freshman gridsters ran wild to pile up their highest score of the year, 41-0. Mugford, Spaulding, Fasi, Kramer, and Kaiser scored the touchdowns, Mug­ford running forty yards for one of his scores. The blocking and tackling of the line,

and the superb running of the backs stood out throughout the afternoon.

Ninety-eight

Dan Jessee will have plenty of use for many of the freshmen. All of them were good, but Mugford, Kramer, Will, and Beidler perhaps should be singled out for

special mention.

FRESHMAN SOCCER

COA CH W ALT McCLoun's Freshman team emulated their big brothers, the va rsity team, this year, when they failed to score a victory in the season 's schedule.

W'ith very few experienced men on the squad, Walt had very little to work with , but by the end of the year the frosh showed that they could definitely be reckon ed as a factor in developing next year's va rsity t eam.

Starting out with Morse Business College, the frosh were defeated by a 3-1

score. Clever defensive work by the halfbacks and fullbacks prevented a higher score, whil e poor passing and teamwork on the defense held down the score of the yea rlings .

The fledgling hooters next faced Wethersfield High, producer of many of the Trinity soccer g reat s. The freshmen had many scoring opportunities in thi s game, but they failed to take advantage of them. " Breaks" of the game also played a la rge part in this match, the 3- 1 count against the frosh being settled by the penalty kicks.

The Kingswood game was also lost by the frosh. Inexperience in playing to­gether as a team caused the loss of thi s game, though the frosh were playing over their heads and putting a lot of fi ght into the match.

Many of the freshmen will prove valuable additions to Coach Mac's va rs ity team for nex t yea r . Captain Dick Bestor was one of the most outstanding players, and

cla sed along with him were Dunn, Jordan, Gilman, Jones, Wood, and Burrage.

FRESHMAN CROSS-COUNTRY

T H E frosh cross-country team, like the varsity, fini shed the year with a single t aste of victory. F aced with a squad that lacked experience and balance fo r the

most part, Coach Ray Oosting concentrated on building up men for next season's va rsity. The four meets held, with Springfield, W esleyan, Amherst freshmen, and Bristol High School, proved to be fairly close.

Ed Rosen, Bob Smelli e, and Bob Elrick, all potential varsity material, were the most consist ent point-gatherers for the Blue and Gold, and will provide Coach Oosting with some fin e runners next season.

FRESHMAN SWIMMING

D ESPIT E the many r ecords that were broken by the Hilltopper freshmen, the sea­son's r ecord indicated three wins and three losses.

The opening meet of the year, with H a rtford High, was lost 51- 24, the Hart­ford boys showing too much power for the Frosh. The high spot of the afternoon came in the 200-yard relay race, with E arle, Orfitelli, Morhardt, and Madigan splashing through to a new Hilltopper freshman record of 1 :47.6.

The Canterbury meet, the next on the books, was lost by the close score of 34- 32, although the freshmen set three new records. E a rle took the 220 in 2:42 ; Madigan won the century in 57.9; and the relay team lowered their previous record to 1 :45. 7.

Down at Bristol the next week the Blue and Gold proved too much and the frosh went on to win 46- 20. On S aturday of the same week the fro sh splashed to a win over Hopkins Grammar School, 36-30, setting two more new records. Orfitelli took the fifty-yard dash in 26.4, and for the third time the relay team lowered the record, this time establishing it at 1 :45.3 .

The third loss of the season was on March first against a powerful W esleyan freshman aggregation. Even with Orfitelli and Morha rdt coming through to take their events, the frosh were complet ely outswum and lost 54- 21. The season wound up on Ma rch seventh with a victory over Suffield.

FRESHMAN BASKETBALL

T HE fr eshman basketball team followed up an excellent football season with a good court record: Successful in nine of their twelve games, the 1942 hoopsters

dropped close games to the w· orcester and Wesleyan Jayvees and to Monson

Academy. Outstandjng on the team were G eorge Carey, Charlie Fresher, and George

Adams. Along with the rest of the squad they will provide Ray Oosting with some good fi rst-string and reserve material for next season .

FRESHMAN BASEBALL

THE first Freshman Baseball team ever to represent the Blue and Gold won ten out of twelve games and scored 102 runs to 48 for their opponents. The season opened with a game which was poorly played by both sides, but

Loomis could not match the yearlings barrage and bowed 10- 5. Conceded but little chance in the following game against a powerful Choate nine, Coach Erickson's charges turned in a thrilling 9- 5 victory and gave promise of future wins. Between April 29 and May 25 the Frosh team played their twelve games so it was n ecessa ry that Erickson develop a number of pitchers. Gordon and Strang took most of the heavy work while Harris and Steers did well in between times.

Fresh from their startling defeat of Choate, the yearlings went out on the field three days later and hammered a Mor e pitcher for 23 runs, allowing only 3 to be scored against them. Then in the next two games they ran over LaSalette and Morse, both to a 12- 1 extent.

In the middle of May Coach Erickson took his boys to Middletown to engage the Frosh there. Imagine hi s surprise when the hosts scored four runs in the first inning. But that was more than the Trinity lads could stand and they let them know it by scoring nine runs and keeping W esleyan from scoring for the rest of the game.

After several practice games with Kingswood, the Freshmen finally got a chance to play them in an official capacity on the eighteenth of the month. The Kingswood

One Huncl1·ed Four

pitcher had on the ball just what the Frosh did not like, and after scoring a t least three times in every game up to this one, they were now held down to one, while their

foes made three circuits. Milford was the next team that they played. The Freshmen 's pride had been

burt and they were determined not to lose. They didn't. Three days la ter W esleyan came down and thi s time the Trin Frosh scored seven runs in the first inning. After this there was no doubt as to the winner, and th e game ended with the score at 10- 3 .

After winning t en out of the last eleven games it was awfully tough that the Hilltoppers had to lose their last game and, most of all , by the score of 8- 2. Once again the Blue and Gold sluggers just could not get hold of the balls served up to

them. Mainstays in the Frosh team in the department of hitting were Roberts, Walsh,

Thomsen, l\Iulcahy, and Strang. H a rris and Borst ein kept the defen e bulwarks in shape, as Strang and Gordon served in the delivery dep artment.

SQUASH

B U ILDIN G fo r the future in hope that squash, the only sport in college in which inter-collegiate contest s are held that is not recognized by the Trinity Athletic

Association, should gain more prominence on the campus and fin ally be supported by the college as an official sport, Coach D an J essee has concentrated his efforts on those juniors and under-classmen who gave promise of becoming outstanding players in the next year or so.

Hampered by the fact that few of the candidates have played squash befor e entering college and by the fa ct that there is a shortage of t ennis men, D an has set out to develop a system at Trinity which will g ive him a steady supply of material which he can mold into a team which will win matches. For the fir st time this year, squash is being taught on an organized basis. More than twenty men reported for practice and each day they were g iven individual instruction in the fine p oints of this highly

skillful game. As has been the case so often in the p ast , several seniors improved g reatly during

the year and by the end of the year wer e capable players, but of what avail ? Another thing which occurred thi s yea r which bas occurred often in the past , was the losing of several of th ~ fir st string men after mid-years because of flunks. There was no one to take their p lace and the t eam had to go through the yea r ill-balanced.

In the future J essee sees in Cleveland, Cunningham, R ector, and F isher poss i­bilities of well rounded squash p layers. However, until Trinity has teams which have a good chance of winning D an intends that his men should p lay more of the local clubs and smaller colleges . With hi s nose to the grindstone and his eye to the future Coach J essee works on.

Lloyd B ates, Capta in of the t eam, won the Newton C. Bra inard Trophy in the yearly individual tournament.

INTRAMURAL SPORTS

T HE INTRAMURAL ATHLETIC CouNCIL, composed of a r epresentative from each of the fraternities, the Commons Club, and the three neutral bodies and under

the direction of Mr. Joseph C. Cla rke of the Physical E ducation D epa rtment, is re­sponsible for all intramural athl eti c competition. It is the duty of each representative to encourage athletic activity on the p art of the students who are in his g roup and to superintend the organization and p a rticipa tion of the t eams. As a body it is their job to formula te the rules necessa ry for the administra tion of a successful intra­

mural program.

Anyone who has pot received his letter in that sport in which he wish es to p articipate, or seems to the Physical Education D epartment to be a likely candidate for a letter in that sport, is allowed to play. That a la rge p ercentage of those students n ot p articipating in intercollegiat e competition take pa rt in these campus games is shown by the fact that more than 140 contestants took p art in the basketball t ournament. The sports in which intramural contest s are held a re: W ater Baseball, Basketball, Swimming, Squas h, Sof tball, Track, and T enni s.

To the f rat ernity or g roup a massing the highest number of points throughout the year goes the Alumni Trophy. During the eight yea rs that the troph y has been competed for, th e Sigma N u 's ha ve had it on their mantel for fi ve and a half years. L ast year St. Anthony won it for the fir st time. P si Upsilon won possession in 1935

and ATK had it f or a half-year when they tied with Sigma u.

The other trophies for purely Trinity competition are the ewton C. Brainard Trophy for individual squash racquets, the Alexander Og ilby Trophy for swim­ming, the L yman Ogilby Trophy for cross-country, the Edward R . L ampson Trophy for track, the Sidney T . Miller Trophy for squash racquets, the P eter Ogilby Trophy for basketball, Godfrey M. Brinley Trophy for t ennis, the Physical E ducation D e­partment Trophy for individual t ennis, and the Gold Medal Winner for indi­vidual cross-country.

wATER BASEBALL. Much interest was shown this yea r in thi s water sport. vVith a powerful, well coached team Sigma I u ea rly made known its intentions in regard to the L yman Ogilby Trophy. Now, more familia r with this game of the soggy sphere because of its three year presence a t Trinity as an intramural sport and be­cause of the games conducted in Physical Education periods, the games this year took on a more learned air. P si Upsilon who ended up in second place, St. Anthony who carried off the honors of third place, and Alpha D elta Phi, last year ' s champions were all very evenly matcl1ed, but the power and stra tegy of the Sigma N u won

them first place.

B ASKETBALL. Early in Ma rch the Alpha Tau Kappa quintet edged out the Alpha Chi Rho fi ve on the gym floor to win p ermanent possession of the P eter Ogilby Trophy and to add twenty p oints to their score in the annual campus competition. Sigma Nu won a close battle f rom the Neutral Gold representatives for third place. In the pl ay-off for fir st place, with but five minutes to play, Ka iser put two quick basket s through the hoop to put the men from the Crow House in the lead . Immedi­a tely Johnson came back with two for the ATK's which put them out in the lead again and won them the ball game.

All the f ra ternities and g roups were represented with a number of substitutes on

most t eams. early one-hundred and fifty students played during the tournament. SQUASH. The rivalry for the squash championship of the campus was very in­

tense as the P si U's, the D elta P si's, the D ekes, and the Crows turned out in large numbers for their matches. D etermined that St. Anthony should no more monopolize squash, the B eta B eta Chapter of Psi Upsilon fought ha rd and shrewdly, but the consistent playing of " the men from the top of the hill" swung the match in the la tte r 's favor. R einheimer defeated Blake of the D elta P si's, and Upham beat Cleve­land, but Bill Dick took the measure of Maynard of the Beta Beta Chapter and Hamilton and S. Smith in winning their matches from the Neill brothers dealt the death blow.

SwiMMING. With Steve Ba rtlett winning more points for his fraternity than any other man, Psi Upsilon splashed its way to another triumph in the annual swimming meet. Largely because of the efforts of Jack Carey Sigma u took second place and because of a large rep resentation St. Anthony took third. This is the third consecutive year that P si Upsilon has won the cup. Throughout the trials and the finals the times were exceedingly low. It gave Joe Clarke a chance to see who among th e students might d evelop into aquatic stars if he got them to come out.

SoFT-BALL. Putting on the sp ring drive that netted them the Alumni Trophy the brotl1ers of St. Anthony walked off with the soft-ball competition . Alpha T au Kappa came in second with Alpha Chi Rho in the consola tion place.

T ENN IS. The "boys from the top of the hill," as in squas h had to down a fight­ing Psi Upsilon team in order to win the Godfrey M. Brinley Trophy. However, in th e play-off, the members of Alpha Chi Rho got even with the D ekes for the defeat handed them in th e squash tournament, by taking third place.

TRA CK. In the track meet Sigma Nu congregated a total of eighty and a half points. The next in line was P si Upsilon with thirty-one, and then St. Anthony with twenty-eight. It is no cause of wonder tha t Stan Alexander, Gus Peterson, a nd D an North, a ll Sigma Nu's, were the three top sco rer s.

INTERFRATERNITY COUNCIL

THE lNT~~ n .FRATERNITY CouNCIL meets, usually twice a month, to discuss any inter­fraternity problems which might arise. Rushing rules are outlined by it each year,

as well as rules and procedure for all interfraternity competition. This past year new rules regarding rushing, girls in the several houses, and the Interf raternity Sing were formulated. Each fraternity is allowed two rep resentatives on the council.

Pres ident: Robert M. Muir, Jr.

Secretary: Ethan F. Bassford, Jr.

Treasurer: Alfred W. Driggs, Jr.

Faculty Adviser: Dr. Robert B. W. Hutt.

A. LTHOUGH already strong in numbers, the house on the top of the hill pledged fi thirteen at the end of the rushing p eriod. While football was still on the tongue of nearly everyone, three men of the class of '41 took the secret oath. At the annual winter initiation, four freshmen and a senior were taken into the brotherhood.

Under the able direction of Cromwell, the idea of a college literary organ was at last transformed into a reality, The Trinity R eview. For the first half of the college year it was Editor Gorman who scratched his head as the printing deadline of the Tripod approached while inches of copy were still missing. Gorman was also elected Vice-President of the graduating class. Dimling represented the Alpha Chapter on the gridiron.

One of the big surprises on the campus thi s year was the discovery of a quartet in the Hall that had rhythm and harmony aplenty. This group has sung at several college functions and has given rep eated p erformances over the air.

Last Fall the chapter was the proud recipient of the Alumni Intramural Trophy. In winning this cup, the chapter also won the right to reta in the tennis, squash, and soft ball cups for the year.

ALPHA DELTA PHI

I N IT one hundred and sixty-second year as a chapter in the national Alpha Delta Phi Fraternity, the Phi Kappa Chapter maintained its usual active place in

campus activities. Among the brothers could be found the Managing Editor of the Tripod, the Business Manager of the I vy, the President of the D ebating Society, a member of the basketball team, and over half of the soccer team.

The high scholastic standard of the large pledge group of eleven men made possible the admission of nine of them into the bonds of brotherhood. Those admitted

were.:

Class of 191,.0 : Charles Edward Starr.

ALTHOUGH comparatively f ew numerically, the Dekes were actiYe both in and out .1"""1.. of the classroom. Burnham headed the staff of the Tripod, while Crockett gave out the assignments. The J esters were led by Burnham as well. The scholastic standing of the house was good also, for it was a close second in the race for the Hartford Alumni Scholarship Cup.

Of the five men pledged at th e beginning of the school year, four were admitted within the portals on the evening of F ebruary eighteenth. They were:

Class of 191,.2 : Robert B. Bertolette, Richard Cummins, William G. Oliver, and

Charles E. Thenebe.

Socially the D ekes held a formal dance after the Amherst football game and tried to forget Trinity's defeat as they kept time with Red Sully 's Swing Band. On the fifth of May many alumni returned to the Hilltop and the Hall of Alpha Chi to join in the banquet and corporate communion in celebration af the sixtieth anni­versary of the founding of this chapter.

PSI UPSILON

W ITH the pledging of one of the largest delegations in the history of Trinity Fraternities and with the presence in the house of the h ead of the student

body and the Editor in Chief of the I vy, the Beta B eta Chapter of P si Upsilon this year, its fifty-ninth on the Hilltop, has been outstanding.

Owing its origin to a g roup of men at U nion College who obj ected to the con­fining motive of such purely scholastic societies as the Phi B eta Kappa and the then existing litera ry societies, the P si Upsilon fra ternity bas been run on a broader and more liberal plan in which the social motive is the prevailing one. That the Beta Beta Chapter has been true to this tradition is evidenced by the highly successful dances held at the house during the Amherst week-end, the Sophomore Hop, and the Junior-Senior Ball week-end. An innovation thi s year, were several roller-skating parties which have become so popula r among the students.

On the other hand, the fact tha t only two of the men who were pledged in the fall, were unable to receive the secret word because of scholastic pitfalls, speaks

well of the attitude of the house towa rds scholarship . ... Continuing its policy of fri endly relations with the W esleyan Chapter contests

between th e two fri endly rivals were held in squash and soft-ball. After the vigor of the games, song and banqueting were joined in by all.

ALPHA CHI RHO

T HE Phi Psi Chapter of Alpha Chi Rho returned to college minus several familiar faces, but when the smoke and fury of the last season of off-campus rushing had

cleared, the "Crows" had once again consolidated their position on campus with a good delegation.

Extra-curricular activities have taken up a good group from the house. Jack Wilcox was outstanding on Dan J essee's grid machine, whil e Bob Ely helped out as an assistant manager. "Mike" Bassford , outstanding man in the house, was Secre­

tary of the 1939 Senate, a member of the Medusa, manager of the baseball team, and a good scholar. Ralph Shelley has been elected President of the Senate and Pres ident of the Interfraternity Council for the year 1939- 40.

Socially, the chapter has been active, entertaining with houseparties on the week­ends of the Soph Hop and Senior Ball. Dances have been held at various times throughout the year, and exchange parties have been held with the Wesleyan Alpha Chi Rho House.

SIGMA NU

D ELTA CHI CHAPTER OF SI GMA N u has an active membership of twenty-four brother s and fourteen pledges. The year has been unusually successful under

the leadership of Commander Al Driggs. The boarding club under the direction of Greg Gaboury, finan cial wizard of Sigma N u, made a large profit as twenty-two regularly gathered a round th e festive board to partake of the culinary products of Millie M edia, traditional figur e in the Sigma N u house.

Athletica lly Sigma ~ u was exceedingly outstanding with eight varsity letter­men on the football team. Pledge Carey was elected captain for next yea r. H e also held the basketball captaincy this past year . Other captains in the house include Boris P acelia, track; Dick Lindner, basketball captain-elect; Al Axsomitas, swim­ming cap tain-elect; and Ed Morris, baseball.

Six pledges were initia ted on F eb ruary 18, following which there was a ban~ quet at the University Club under the able guidance of Don Smith. Brother Russell Z. Johnston, newly elected Judge of Probate for H a rtford, was the speaker of the evening.

Event of the year was the dressing down of the old blue living quarters in a new coat of flashy yellow this Spring. Of a Spring evening the casual pedestrian could hea r mellow strains coming forth from the house as the Sigma N u Glee Club prepared for the Spring Interfraternity Sing.

DELTA PHI

A FTER the usual two-weeks rushing campaign, the Sigma Chapter of D elta Phi had nine new pledges, the third largest delegation on th e campus.

The social season this year has been a more than usually active one. On No­vember 5, the weekend of the Amherst Game, the annual fall l1ouse dance was largely attended and entirely successful. Throughout the autumn the Connecticut College girls of the cast of the joint college production of "The Late Christopher Bean" were often entertained. A ga la Sophomore Hop House Party, with a r ecord dance after the Jester's production, in which the cast was entertained, proved to be a memorable occasion.

In March and April r ecord dances were held a t the Chapter House. Through­out the late fall, winter and ea rly spring we entertained various members of the faculty at dinner. The crowning event of th e social season is, of course, The Spring Dance, at which time it is the custom to hold a house party.

·with the exception of one of the members being on a varsity squad, the house is not athletically inclined. Several of the members belong to the Jesters, the Glee

Club, the Tripod, and various other student organizations.

ALPHA TAU KAPPA

A LPHA TAu KAPPA is the only local fra ternity on campus. At the opening of the school yea r in September the Hartford Alumni Association Cup was awarded

to this fraternity for attaining the highest academic standing during the preceding year.

During the winter season the intramural basketball championship was won by Alpha Tau Kappa with the cup's p ermanent possession as a r eward. Other intra­mural sports were entered enthusiastically.

Along social lines the fraternity has been very active. Three socials were held and the Spring Dance week-end was very successful. The final social event of the year will be the Alumni Supper which is held during the month of June.

It has been the policy of the fraternity not to enter much into the competition at the beginning of the year , but to observe for a longer period and their men prove themselves worthy of becoming a brother. With L yman L. Johnson as head of the house this policy has continued and only four men have been admitted.

THE COMMONS CLUB

THE TRINITY CoMMONS CLuB reached its eighth birthday this year and has defi­nitely established itself as one of tl1 e permanent undergraduate clubs. It is not a

fraternity with Greek letter s nor does it entertain any notion of changing its status. Its purpose, however, is fraternal in that it provides an opportunity for members of the neutral body to become acquainted with each other in activities and fellow­ship. It also exist s as a group in which members of the faculty may meet their stu­dents in an atmosphere other than academic. The Trinity Commons Club engages in intramural athletic competition.

Since its origin in a nucleus of students dining in the College Commons it has made a practice of having dinner in the Cafeteria followed by a social meeting in the Lounge on ·w ednesday evenings. This traditional place of meeting will always be proudly kept as symbolizing the spirit in which the organization began. During the past year, as in previous years, there was a Thea ter Party and a Christmas Party at one of the downtown restaurants followed by a musical entertainment presented by the pledges.

One of the innovations this year was a Wesleyan-Trinity Weekend Dance which was so successful that it bids fair to become an annual event. :Many alumni of the club attended. In accordance with a campaign to form an active alumni body an alumni secretary has been appointed.

Another distinct contribution to college life was made in the promotion of a pro­gram of outdoor activity. So much enthusiasm for hiking and skiing has been aroused not only in the members of the club, but in the members of fraternities and faculty as well, who have attended the outings, that it is hoped Trinity may soon boast an Outing Club independent of any guiding organization. R esults have been seen in an offer of cooperation from the Association of Maine College Outing Clubs.

Dr. Jacquith, Prof. Dadourian, Prof. Naylor, and Mr. Williams arc among the speakers entertained by the club. Dr. J acquith gave an analys is of the Pales­tine situation. Prof. Dadourian talked on the Peace of Munich and its probable con­sequences. Prof. Naylor showed slides of Belgium as he found it in his work with the Belgian Relief Commission. Mr. Williams told of personal adventures in Europe and of teaching conditions in French secondary schools.

Outside speakers numbered Mr. Robert Drew-Bea r, President of the New Eng­land Theosophical Societies, with an address and demonstration of Yoga; and Mr. Payson ewton, ski expert, who showed ski pictures of the Austrian Alps and criti­cized technique. Mr. Motten, a former president of the club, showed colored movies of his Youth Hostel Bicycle Tour through northern Europe-especially Finland.

One of the annual events is a faculty t ea which is rapidly becoming a tradition, pleasing to the faculty and the students alike.

IVY BOARD

F OLLOWING previous policies, thi s yea r the IVY Boa rd has attempted to present the college with a word and pictorial showing of the previous year at Trinity.

Certain extinct groups, as the Rifle Club and Kappa Beta Phi, have been eliminated, and certain "Joe College" bits of writing have been done away with . The whole book has been toned down to a more formal , more readable t ype. The arrangement this year, with its threefold IVY lea f, has introduced an idea that we hope will please the student body. Some time was put in on this idea with the Engraver 's r epresenta­tive. The type this year has been changed to a more fo rceful, brighter one.

The Editorial Boa rd: James S. Neill, Jr. , Editor-in-Chief; John L. Ritter, Ed­ward L. Burnham, Richard D . Lindner , Edwin A. Charles, Anthony Loscalzo, Ralph R. Shelly.

The Business Board: Palmer J . McCloskey, Business Manager ; R aymond J. F erguson, H enry W. Haslach, Thomas J . Canfield, Robert Bodkin.

THE TRIPOD

AT THE annual elections held in January, Edward L. Burnham, Edwin A. Cha rles, and John F . Crockett became the new editors. The business management was

banded over to H erbert R. Bland, Albert W. VanDuzer, and John H. Ewing. D espite the handicaps under which the entire staff is forced to labor, and in

spite of the inconveniences of their present quarte rs in the basement of Cook, the editors have attempted to make the TRIPOD more newsy and lively by innumerable personal interviews with noted p ersons and occasional "scoops" of national impor­tance.

Continuing the policy initiated by the preceding board, th e taff has succeeded in obtaining interviews during the course of th e yea r from such prominent p ersons as H erbert Hooyer, Edna St. Vincent Millay, Lawrence Tibbett, the Andrews Sis­ters, and George M. Cohan.

Among the "scoops" of the year were th e announcement of Professo r Shepard's latest book, Connecticut Past And Prnent, in the 10-page Alumni Issue of March 7 and the publication of the fir st red ew of thi s book on May 3G-two days before the publication date of June I , and also th e announcement on March 14 that Dr. Eduard Benes, former president of the R epublic of Czechoslovakia, had been secured to give the Outdoor Service on the campus th e Sunday of Commencement week-end.

Tlnoughout the year the editors have endea ,·ored to improve the general make­up by careful selection of balanced headlines and an increased number of pictures. Also an attempt was made to present the written material inte restingly and correctly.

THE JESTERS

T HIS year has been one of the most successful seasons in the history of the J esters, the Trinity dramatic organization. The group presented "The Late Ch ristopher

Bean" in cooperation with The Wig and Candle of Connecticut College fo r Women. There were three performances of the play; two in N ew London on D ecember 2- 3, and one in Hartford on the t enth of the month of D ecember. This was the most unique pre entation of any play in J este r History which dates from 1923. The play was given on a center stage, an idea not new in the world 's history, but ce rtainly new to Hartford and to Trinity College. The Stage was a raised platfo rm near the center of th e ballroom floor ; the audience sat around the stage, leaving an a isle for the actors to enter.

The plot of the play concerned the paintings of Christopher B ean and their ·discovery to the world ten years after his death. The Haggett family, which had cared for the poor tubercular patient during his short life, tri ed to carry off the paintings and sell them secretly after discovering their true value. During th e course of the play one of the Haggett girls, the youngest and prettiest, discovers her love for one of Chri 's pupils, a village hou epainter. She runs away with him and they are married. The rest of the family , too involved to know of the affair, continl!es its desperate attempts to gain possession of the pictures. The play is climaxed by the disclosure of the marriage of Chris Bean and the Haggett household maid Abby.

Many words of praise were spoken by the critics both for the excellent acting done by the whole group and for the staging and directing done by Mrs. Josephine Hunter Ray of Connecticut College. Dr. Haggett, played by Bob Harris, r eceived

One Hunclred Twenty-two

special commendation by the critics. Much of the success of the club must go to President Larry Newhall for his strong and energetic role as director of affairs.

Overwhelmed by his many activities, Larry was forced to resign.

At the next election Edward Burnham was named president and Bob Harris, secretary. The club soon began active work for Robert Sherriff's outstanding play, "Journey's End," which was produced at the Spring Dance week-end, with Bob Harris, L ew Sheen, Jim Soutter, and Bob Pillsbu ry in the out tanding roles. Directed by Jack \Villiams, Instructor in Romance Languages, the production once again

was t ermed an artistic and financial success.

POLITICAL SCIENCE CLUB

I N ORDER to keep abreast of the tide of current events, local, national, and inter­national, the members of the Political Science Club gather one night a month

to listen to various authorities on vital questions. It has, since its founding by its present sponsor, the History D epa rtment of the coll ege, been one of the largest organizations on the campus.

A large number of men, old members and new, turned out for th e first meeting of the club in October. Plans were for the forthcoming year which were to be a continuation of the policy outlined when the organization had its constitution re­modeled last year. The men to whom the reins of the club were entrusted were as fol ­lows: Truman M. Huffman, Jr. , President; Edward L. Morris, Vice-President; Frank Barnes, Secretary; L eo Gilman, Treasurer. Professor Humphrey, H ead of the History D epartment, is the faculty advisor.

After the elections were over, Dr. Aydelotte, a former Rhodes Scholar and an authority on German Diplomacy, gave a ta lk in which he defended Chamberlain's Munich Agreement and general European policy.

At the next meeting, Dr. Taylor, H ead of the Economics Department, discussed the cooperative movement. As is the case at all meetings, questions were asked the speaker and a general di scussion followed.

Just before Christmas, Robert B y rnes, political editor of the Courant, analyzed the results of the November elections. H e could find no general opposition to any

One Hundred Twenty-four

of the Kew Deal measures, but thought the decline in its popularity was due to local

issues.

Prince Loewenstein, who had just come from Europe to tour the United States, gave his impressions of the r esults of the Munich Agreement, at the next meeting. His wife, Princess Loewenstein, took an active part in the discussion that followed and never seemed to be without someone to ask her questions.

While trying to forget the exams, tb~ members of the group listened to Walter Stwinn, editorial write r on the Courant talk on " The D efense of D emocracy," a sub­

j ect now often on the lips of Pres ident Roosevelt.

TRINITY COLLEGE GLEE CLUB

CLIMAXING an expanding tendency that has seen the Trinity Glee Club increase in numbers every year and extend its schedule, this year witnessed an initial

enrollment of over seventy men. This phenomenal number was the result of an ex­tended search for first and second tenors during the first few weeks of college when Mr. Watters realized that he only had a mere handful of melody-carriers left over from last yea r. All fall was spent in preparing this large and unwieldy group for the Spring Concert Series. As usual the main repertoire consists of Bach Chorals, American Negro Spirituals, Madrigals, and early church music. The club is espe­cially fortunate in having Dan Hanson '39 as baritone soloist and Frank Barnes '39 as violin soloist to add variety and color to the concert programs.

The very first concert of the year was given in D ecember to a small audience at the Hartford R etreat. This was followed by a dance with the nurses. H ere first signs of the potentiality of the large club were seen in its stirring power in the Bach Choral Christmas Oratorio; also ominous signs that seventy men would not always follow Ir. Watters accurately.

Launching the Spring season with a joint concert with the Hartford Hospital Training School Glee Club under the direction of Moshe Paranov, the Glee Club appeared to have balance and unity. Frank Barnes added much to this concert with his splendid violin solos.

The following night, March 11 , the Club travelled to Waterbury to give a guest concert for St. Margaret's School. Dan Hanson and Frank Barnes again came through with sterling p erformances as Trinity presented a well-balanced program. Following the concert a very enjoyable dance was held with St. Margaret 's girls.

On Tuesday evening the Trinity College Glee Club was heard over WDRC in

One Hundred Twenty-si<V

a broadcast. On March 25 the Club presented a half hour program over WTIC.

Dan Hanson was the soloist.

Continuing the season after Spring vacation the Glee Club schedule has ful­

filled the following engagements:

April 14-A concert at the Wethersfield High School under the auspices of the Fellowcraft Club.

April 21-Guest concert at Briarcliff Manor; Edgewood Park Junior College.

April 28-J oint Concert with St. Joseph's College Glee Club at St. Joseph's

Auditorium in West Hartford.

The season closed with a trip to Hollis, Long Island, to sing a guest concert at Woodhull Private School on May 5. The following day the Glee Club made a

final broadcast from WOR in New York City.

NEWMAN CLUB

T HIS year has seen another organization take its place among the numerous clubs of Trinity College. On October 31, 1938, the first meeting of the Trinity College

Newman Club was held. The purpose of this society is the furthering of the religious and intellectual life of the Catholic students at the college. It is an institution which is fast becoming an integral part of the universities and colleges all over the coun­try. It aims to supply in some small way the religious education which, the Church realizes, is unable to be given in non-Catholic educational institutions.

Most R ev. Maurice F. McAuliffe, Bishop of Hartford, granted permission for Mass to be celebrated in the Crypt of the College Chapel. On November 10, R ev. Bernard M. Donnelly, pastor of the neighboring Church of the Immaculate Con­ception, celebrated the first l\Iass to be held at Trinity College. Doctor Ogilby in­vited the members of the club to breakfast with him in the College Dining Room after :Mass. On D ecember 8 another Mass was celebrated in honor of the Immacu­late Conception. Meetings were held on the first and third Monday evenings of each month. At these meetings, members of the club· presented papers and general dis­cussions were held. Two visiting speakers lectured for the societ y : vVm. E. Buckley of the Hartford High School on Church Architecture, and R ev. J olm S. Kennedy, Associate Editor of the Catholic Transcript on " The Modern World Looks at the Church."

The Chaplain of the club is R ev. Anthony J. Murphy of St. Thomas' Seminary. Dr. Wm. G. H elmbold and Mr. Joseph G. Merriam acted as faculty advisers.

The officers were: 1938-39

THE SOPHOMORE DINING CLUB

A T THE end of the winter sports schedule, those Sophmores who have been out­standing in extracurricular activities and give promise of becoming future college

leader s, are elected to the Sophmore Dining Club. The Society was founded by the Class of '99 in 1897 as a group whose duty it would be to act as hosts of th e college. It is the custom for the newly elected men to give the Junior and Senior member a banquet at th e H eublein Hotel , long a place for student gatherings of Trinity for wine, food, and song, at which time the old members turn over their responsibilities

to the new hosts. The Class of 1939, unde r the leadership of Richard Lindner, followed this long

established tradition and gave a banquet the pleasures of which will not soon be for­

gotten. The 191,.0 D elegation: Richard D. Lindner, Chairman, Albert Akomitas, John

V. Dimling, Raymond J. Ferguson, Alvin C. Hopkins, William F. Kelly, Thomas

SEABURY SOCIETY

THE SEABURY SociETY was founded in October, 1936, to unite students with similar interests in religious and social work and to develop and further spiritual

life at Trinity College. Members have also helped the Episcopal Church in and near Hartford by serving as Sunday School teachers, boys' club directors, and social serv­ice workers. Its activities are modeled along the lines of missionary societies which have existed in the past at Trinity. The society is nonsectarian and holds regular services for the benefit of its members.

Officers of the Seabury Society for 1938-39 are: President, George W. Smith, Jr.; Vice-President, Albert W. VanDuzer; Secretary-Treasurer, William J. Wolf; Program Director, George Reese.

RADIO CLUB

THE TRINITY CoLLEGE RADIO CLuB was organized in February, 1936. Since that date the Club has steadily increased its membership. It has set up its own col­

lege amateur radio station, W1JUD, and has broadcast the college over the world. The 100-watt input transmitter, which operate on three major amateur wave

bands, has established communication with five out of six continents, and with every state in the Union. The club has participated in various contests and parties held by the American Amateur Relay League and many of the members own and operate

transmitters in their homes. One of the many useful purposes which the club serves is that of transmitting

messages for men at the college who have no other way of communicating with their families. Labrador and Washington are among the two communities thus served.

The officers for 1938-39 are: President, Herbert J. Hall; Vice-President, Paul

A. Goodwin; Secretary, David Davidson; Treasurer, Wilfred F. Greenwood.

THE SOPHOMORE HOP

D URING the week-end of D ecember 10, 1938, the Sophomore Class held its annual dance, one of the two major social events of th e year. As ove r one hundred

couples reluctantly left the floor a fter swino-ing and swaying for fi ve hours to the smooth , danceable music of Ray Keating in the Ball Room of the H a rtford Club, Trinity College men were aware that a dance could be both a social and fin ancial success.

The P si Upsilon, Alpha Chi Rho, and D elta Phi F ra ternities held house parties and most of the other houses had formal dinners or cockta il pa rties. On the night followin g the dance th e J este rs presented Sydney H owa rd's "The L at e Chri stopher Bean" in conjunction with the Wig and Candle Dramatic Society of Connecticut College for Women on a central stage a t the H a rtford Club. This, also for th e fir st time in late years, was a finan cial success .

Under the able leader ship of Chairman P edico rd, the d ance had received liberal publicity and the coopera tion of the fraternities in having house pa rti es and the J es­ters in presenting their annual fall production a t thi s time. All helped to make the week-end a tremendous success .

The Committee : W alter J. P edicord, Jr. Chairm an, George S . Comstock III, John T. Carpenter, H. Ri cha rd Moody, Richa rd T. Bla isd ell, w ·illiam J . R yan , D avid E . Callaghan, Ron ald E. Kinney, Jr., William F. H a rrigan, R obert R. Broatch, Jr.

affair. And this year's dance was a gala one with the bands of Erskine H awkin and Benny Meroff fillin g the H a rtford Club with danceable strains.

Richa rd J. Hill was the Chairman of the Spring D ance Committee, the members

of which were John C. Alexander, H a rold B . Colton, Jr ., J. Kevin Dunne, George V. Hamilton, Jr. , H enry Vv. Keane, John B . R einheimer, Edward L. Smith, Albert

LES AMIS DE MARIANE

U NDER the guiding hand of its advisor, Mr. John Williams, Trinity this year has witnessed a new birth in the French club, even to the extent of its n ew name,

L es Amis de Mariane. Mr. Williams, r ecently returned from a year's study in France, has instilled a keen spirit among the members. Not only does the increased attendance testify to this, but also the eagerness with which the students offer their assistance in preparing the program. At every meeting which is held informally the club mem­

bers join in singing French songs; entertainment is always provided, and, above all. refreshments are never lacking. The high-spot of the yea r 's activity to date has been a novel radio broadcast of a play written in French by one of the members, Norman Hapgood. An amplifying system sent the dramatic sketch resounding over the campus. For its finale, the club plans to have a joint meeting with L e Cercle Franc;ais of Mount Saint Joseph Academy.

The officers and members : Bernard C. Solyn, Jr., President; Gustave W. Andrian, S ecretary-Treasurer ; W. R ebman, C. Vvalker, J. L avieri, J . Ewing, E. Burn­ham, J. Neill, S. Low, N. Hapgood, R.

and by Dr. J acquith, Provost. The officers of the club are: Palmer J. McCloskey, President; George Smith,

Vice-President ; Richard Insley, Secretary-Treasurer; and John Karp, Manager.

CHEtv\ISTRY CLUB

A GROUP of Seniors organized the Chemistry Club in December, 1937. Its gen­eral purpose was to unite students interested in chemistry and to furnish them

with the opportunity to do more than the regular classwork. Its aims are to take up aspects of chemistry not covered in the college courses, to promote closer relations with the chemistry students of other colleges, and to allow members of the club an

opportunity for self-expression. Regular and special meetings have been held, with papers being giYen by various

members of the club, including one by John Upham, who had had practical experi­ence on this topic through working in a chemical plant the previous summer. Repre­sentatives were also sent to the Connecticut Valley Student Scientific Conference, where papers were given by ·william McCarthy and Erik Hoegberg, graduate stu­

dents and members of the club.

PI GAMMA MU

0 NE of the principal aims of Pi Gamma 1\lu, national honorary Social Science fraternity, is to bring closer together students and faculty members who are

particularly interested in history and economics. It is hoped that as a result students' interest in social and political problems of the day will be stimulated, that students will r ealize the importance of a logical , scientific approach to those problems, and that the faculty members will be stimulated by the student interest and enthusiasm. F eeling that the social sciences are potentially a tremendous force for the good of the world, but a force often underrated and ignored, the Pi Gamma Mu Fraternity has chosen as its task the arousing of new enthusiasm and the securing of intelligent research in order that th e Social Sciences may occupy an important place in the world of thought.

The Connecticut Alpha Chapter of Pi Gamma Mu was founded at Trinity four years ago by Professor Edward E. Humphrey, Northam Professor of History and Political Science, and its subsequent growth is due, in la rge part, to his efforts. Two formal meetings have been held this year; a third was scheduled for May. At the first meeting, in D ecember , at Professo r Humphrey's home, Edward Mann, Paul Harris. and William Gorman II were initiated. Frank Barnes was elect ed President, William Gorman, Vice-President, and Professo r Cunningham, Secretary. Professor Troxell spoke on "Geology and th e \Vaterways of Connecticut," illustrating his talk with beautifully-colored slides.

In February, the society met at the home of Professor Cunningham. Milton Budin, Truman Huffman, Phillips Hawkins, and Arthur Campbell were initiated

One Hnndred Thirty-eight

and Robert Whitaker, former director of the budget for th e State, led a discussion on government finance.

Any officer, instructor, alumnus, graduate student, Senior or Junior, of the col­lege may be elected to membership. If an undergraduate, he must have pursued studies in the social sciences for twenty semester hours and have r eceived " B" grades or better.

TRINITY REVIEW

FoR THE first time in a good many years Trinity once again had a literary maga­zine. Shortly after college opened, it was announced that J osias J . Cromwell,

'39, Editor-in-Chief of the new publication, The Trinity R eview, would receive manu­scripts for the magazine. The writers in th e college got to work and an excellent issue was published in January. This was follow ed in May by a second, even better issue. Over one hundred and sixty manuscripts were submitted to the editors, William Gor­man, Robert Harris, Sumner Twiss, H enry Hayden, William Wolf, and Richard Morris. An appropriation was received from the Senate and the Faculty lent financial , as well as moral support, thus avoiding the necessity for the encumbrance of adver­tisements.

The Senate has increased the appropriation for next year, and together with the subscriptions that will be sold when the college reopens, this should place the maga­zine on a sound financial basis. Richard Morris has been chosen the new Editor-in­Chief. with William J. Wolf as the new Associate Editor.
