SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 3, 1962
Trustees Announce Plans For New Gym Wing
112 Fathers Deluge Campus
During Father's Weekend
One hundred and twelve fathers assembled on Friday, Saturday, and
Sunday, October 19-21, for the annual
Father's Weekend. Coming from as
far away as Malibu, California, and
from as near as Middletown, the fathers came to get a closer look at St.
Andrew's and to find out what their
sons really were doing.
The schedule was quite full, with
events on all three days. On Friday,
for the 60 fathers who had arrived
for the first day, the Glee Club, under
Mr. Walker's direction, presented a
program of show music, principally
from recent musical comedies. The
performance was highlighted by the
solos of Kent Hughes and Jess Gaither. For the final number, the Glee
Club sang an original version of
'' There is Nothing Like a Dame,''
with lyrics by the famed Kerr-Walker team.
In the evening, the fathers visited
some of the faculty homes for a bit
of informal conversation.
Saturday, the fathers patiently sat
through the morning's classes, wondering whether the square root of
the quantity X sub one minus X sub
two squared plus the quantity Y sub
one minus Y sub two squared really
did equal D. Doubtless, they were
less amazed by the masters who
taught such stuff than by their sons
who understood it.
On the athletic fields on Saturday
there were games between the Varsity football team and Sanford, the
Varsity soccer team and Moorestown
Friends J.V., and the Red and White
Senior Eleven teams. Varsity football
soundly defeated Sanford, 22-6, in a
well-played game which included two
pass interceptions by Dick Buckaloo
and a spectacular safety by Chip
Gordy.
The Varsity soccer team
fought a long match with a speedy
Moorestown team, which ended in a
1-1 deadlock after two overtime periods. The Senior Eleven game saw a
strong Red team, coached by Mr.
Baum, edge Fr. Ogilby 's White Raiders 20-14.
After the soccer game, great numbers of fathers and sons decamped
to that citadel of the filet mignon,
the Granary, for a meal of unparalleled quality (and expense).
In the afternoon, a reception was
held in the Main Common Room for
the fathers and faculty. After supper Saturday night, Mr. Chapin,
President of the St. Andrew's Fathers' Club, called the fathers' meeting
to order; Mr. Moss gave his customary
'' State of the School'' address. New
officers for next year's Fathers'
Weekend were elected. Mr. Rignal W.
Baldwin was elected the new president of the Fathers' Club.
Following the meeting, the movie
'' They Came to Cordura'' was shown
in the auditorium. From 9:30 on, the
faculty held open house for the fathers until 11:30 p. m. curfew.
Sunday morning, there was a service
of Morning Prayer in the Chapel, with
a sermon by Mr. Ogilby. After chapel,
fathers and sons were free until Sunday Dinner at 1:00 p. m. At this
meal, Mr. Baldwin thanked the school
for its hospitality.
Special thanks
for the best Fathers' Weekend in
many years were extended to the faculty, students and staff of the school.
The Cardinal heartily seconds Mr.
Baldwin and hopes that the success
of this year's Fathers' Weekend can
be duplicated in years to come.
Math Men
Hear Pollock
On Tuesday, November 23, seven
budding SAS mathematicians went
up to the Franklin Institute in Philadelphia to hear a Dr. Pollock speak
upon the wonders of mathematics.
Dr. Pollock graduated from Yale
in 1951 and obtained his Ph.D. from
Harvard. He is currently working
on the higher mathematical echelons
of the Bell Telephone Company.
As a lecturer on the annual Dodge
lecture series on the sciences founded in 1926, Dr. Pollock took his first
example of a practical mathematical
problem directly from his work for
Bell Telephone. He was interested
in mathematically determining the
way to correct a given number of
parts in a plane together, with only
one line going from any one point,
in the shortest total length of lines.
The total number of ways lines may

Duties of M. C.
Added To
Faculty Chores
Upon returning to St. Andrew's in
September, those familiar with the
school saw many things that were
differeiit from memories .of June past.
One difference that was noted almost
immediately by everyone was a new
system which had been developed by
the school's hierarchy.
In previous years, each master was
faced with the dim prospect of taking
attendance at meals, keeping a lateness record, having both eighth
period study halls, and evening study
halls. After several years of success,
this system was changed to the
present one. The end result is that
no one is sure which end is up when
they are asked who the MOD is, or
who the MC is. Boys who are late
to meals constantly report to the
Master of the Day who sends them to
the Master of Ceremonies who reverses their paths by returning the
MOD's compliment.

LETTERS TO
THE EDITOR
Dear Editor:
I would like to complain about the
fact that this school provides for only
two modern languages and requires
only two years of any language,
whereas many of our most prominent
institutions for higher education recommend strongly three .or more years
of one modern language, and the
C.E.E.B. considers German, Greek,
Hebrew, Italian, Latin, and Russian,
as well as the usual French and Spanish important enough to provide for
mass testing in all these languages.
Accompanying their applications
for freshmen for next year, Princeton University sent an '' ideal'' high
school curriculum which included four
years of a foreign language.
Our
own language department advocates
three or four years of a language.
Science is great, but a student can get
more out of his college science course,
than from those at St. Andrew's
whereas an early background in a
foreign language is invaluable. Middlebury College will not graduate any
student who has not reached a '' reasonable proficiency" in one language.
If the Middlebury scientist meets his
language requirement in preparatory
school, he is free to devote his college
years to his pursuit of science.
St. Andrew's offers courses in elementary algebra (advanced and regular), geometry (advanced and regular), intermediate algebra (advanced
and regular), and "sixth math"
(trigonometry and calculus). There
are no fewer than twelve math sections. There are five courses in science
(general, biology, zoology, chemistry,
and physics). Even history offers
more courses than languages.
We students appreciate the ease at
becoming adept in art and music
which was quite properly instituted
this year. Now that we can express
ourselves in more than one way, we
want to be able to speak in more
than one way. C'est bien necessaire.
A Not-Quite-Multi-Linguist
Dear Editor:
This letter is long .overdue and
should have been published before.
Its message is not directed to the
Cardinal Staff, but to the readers
of the Cardinal. I am very concerned, and with good reason, over the
public opinion of a rather new organization of the school, Palace Productions. This organization encompasses
a great deal more than many people
realize or wish to realize. First, it
includes the stage crew when the
stage crew is not performing a function for the Criss Cross club.
(I
might add that since the stage crew
receives no credits for work done at
any other time than the Winter and
Spring terms when they are preparing the set for the Spring play, it
seems that Palace Productions is
working with little or no recognition.)
The other members of Palace Productions include any members of the
school which help to produce evening
programs for the school. Perhaps
the school is unfamiliar with the various departments of help, but these
will be apparent at later dates in the
year when various functions occur.
I hope that the school will watch for
our work when they see the lighting
done at the weekend dances this
year.
To further explain the functions of
the Palace Productions Organizations,
it is necessary to delve into the brief
history of its two-year existance. As
some of the old boys know, the organization first appeared under the direction of Tom Field in my fourth
form year. Its work extended over
dances, performances of the Kenston
Trio and the Deltones, and the com-
edy presented upon several occasions
by the Slayers, (the latter of these
groups began in the same year as did
the Palace organization). Because
popular opinion was not on our side,
the Slayers became extinct.
The
Kenston Trio and the Deltones made
their final performance of the year
to an audience .of less than ten, and
Palace Productions found itself headed for the grave-yard.
In the following year, the remaining members of our organization were
willing to forget previous humiliation
and start anew. The program and .operation of Palace Productions was
revamped to its present operation, and
the show went on! Some prejudice
still tainted the glitter of production,
but there was more appreciation ,on
all fronts. Several programs were
planned which never got off the
ground, but in some events, this was
just as well. Jay Kerr transformed
his trio and Deltones into a group
of serious-minded, dedicated individuals who strove for a perfection which
they were not always able to attain.
The absence of opposition to our
shows was overwhelming to the Palace organization, but our reaction to
the reception given us this year is
inexpressible. I would like to thank
those who are willing to devote fifteen
or twenty minutes of their time on a
Saturday evening to become an audience to groups that are far from perfect, but willing to learn.
Finally, I could only ask from the
students that, in the coming months
and terms when we attempt to go on
to a greater variety of entertainment,
they not be ready to judge at once,
but at last. When you see a performance that is not perfect, wait and see
if the next performance isn't better.
We are always willing to improve and
vary from routine, but there are always unexpected limitations which
we encounter. We can overcome these
limitations only if we have your
patience and your support.
Hopefully,
Dave Lioomis
(on behalf of nearly thirty-five
members of the school and faculty
who work with us and for us.)
Dear Editor:
The cultural program at St. Andrew's School is presently in a state
of relative inactivity. The lectures
that are compulsory have recently
been so directed to a small and specialized group of students that the
remainder of the student body must
sit, eyes fixed on the clock, until they
are permitted to leave the auditorium.
I have no doubts about the merits
of, and I shall pick an arbitrary subject, a lecture in Archeology in the
Southwest Rockies; but to a person
who doesn't know Archeology from
Reverse Psychology, the lecture concerning recent discoveries and how
they compare to those in the Northwest Andes is quite definitely out of
place.
We do not object, except for possible inconvenience, to lectures about
college admissions or another subject
which might apply to all of us. We
do object to attending a lecture and
coming .out only with the information
that the minute hand of the clock revolves at 46.3 pi radians per hour—
something we calculated during the
most boring part of the lecture. So
at least we learned how fast the
minute hand goes around? Well, now
everyone knows. All that's left now
is to laugh at the slide projectionist
when his fingers go up on the screen
instead of a picture of the archeologist holding his shovel. I shall
put mine down now, only adding this
plea: lectures for all, or nothing at
all.
Most Sincerely,
Marvelous Mathematician.
This column is written for the
students of St. Andrew's School. In
coming issues, we will review new
LP releases along with the music to
which we are compulsorily or otherwise exposed here at SAS.
In the past few years, the Great
Awakening at St. Andrew's with regard to music deserves more than
passing mention in this series of
articles dealing with a subject of almost universal interest.
Half a term's preparation by the
Glee Club resulted in a fine showwhich we are compulsorarily or othering before a Fathers' Weekend audience. The novel concept of drum and
piano accompaniment in an enjoyable
programming devoid of spirituals
and the usual group of revolting and
pointless selections reached its peak
in an original arrangement of Leonard Bernstein's "Tonight." It was
the first time a program had the
purpose of entertaining instead of
offering selected etudes for the sole
benefit of the performers.
In the independent organizations,
although The Kenston Trio made an
average showing on September 28,
their accompanists, The Deltones, provided in solo work a quality medley
from '' West Side Story'' and a lively drum solo by Dick Porter.
In a program scheduled for December 8, the two groups promise several
new Christmas songs.
The '' spectacular '' will feature a special visit
by an authentic copy of Santa Glaus
to .officially open the Yuletide season at St. Andrew's.
When all is said and done, the
precedent set by The Kenston Trio
has impressed enough students so
that a new fourth form novelty
group. The Cleepwalkers, is in the
blue print stage. The Kenston Trio
II, formed "to carry on the tradition, '' promises to develop more than
the original one has and will be eintroduced in the new year; projected
date, the group's second anniversary.
The School Band sounds more like
a band this year despite the absence
of trombones and despite the presence
of a few instruments.
Some new
marches have begun to take the place
of the '' regulars,'' and Mr. Walker
modestly brags that after each
'' Swing Cheer'' played by the band,
the football team scores a first down.
Music is an art. Like all arts, it
takes practice to even start to be
good. No one is gifted enough to
pick up an instrument he has never
seen and play it perfectly. And
alog the same line, no students at St.
Andrew's will probably ever become
professional musicians.
Adverse criticism for the school's
musicians should originate only within the group or come from someone
who knows he can do better. Our
hats off to the boys that practice five
nights a week for their effort above
and beyond.
The Price
Was Right
Mrs. Reyner, wife of St. Andrew's
Athletic Director W. C. Reyner, is
perhaps the only member of the school
community ever broadcasted in living
color and black and white. Added to
that singular distinction, she is the
only person in the vicinity of the Noxontown ever to win a surrey with horse
on coast to coast television. Eloise
is the horse's name; the Reyner's
haven't named the surrey yet.
On pleasant Sunday afternoons,
when students seek retreat from faculty children awaiting their parents
in the coffee room, it is more than
likely that they will see the entire
Reyner family bedecked in their Sunday-afternoon best taking a carriage
ride through the vine-covered thiskets
surrounding the campus.
In late August, the Reyners stopped in to see '' The Price Is Right''
as part of their New York holiday
with Mrs. Reyner's parents. At the
conclusion of the show, both Reyners
entered their names as possible contestants for the next show. Although
they both were among the eight finalists, NBC allowed for the fact that
they couldn 't permit husband and wife
on the same show and wisely chose
the member of the family who could
give the most compatibility to the
compatible color.
Having been coached in her '' ad
lib'' remarks, Mrs. Reyner found the
show a snap. In addition to Eloise
and the surrey (which was actually
a bonus), she won over two thousand
dollars worth of lawn furniture and
fifty-two dinners for two in one year.
And now the Reyners are happy.
Eloise is happy. And the school will be
happy as long as (during every meal)
we know Eloise is still alive.
Greenhouse
Construction
Completed
Last year the Science Department
decided to ease the crowded situation
in the biology laboratory.
The result was the greenhouse that now
stands over the Green Dragon.
The Greenhouse was begun last
spring and was built in three parts.
The first is the greenhouse proper,
containing a pond in natural surroundings to be used as a supply of
pond specimens in the winter when
the Noxoiitown is frozen. There are
also benches along the sides of the
greenhouse on which students can
work.
Fifty Return
To Alma Mater
On Saturday, October 6, St. Andrew's was host to the largest group
of alumni yet to return for the annual Alumni Day.
Over 50 past
graduates, many with wives and children, arrived Saturday morning, eager
to see old friends, to reminisce about
past years, or just to look around.
Quite a number of recent graduates were back, with 1961 the best
represented of the last four years.
They were: 1959-Coley Brown, Jack
Jones, Mike Laird; 1960-Jeff Stives,
Jesse Dowd, Steve Walke; 1961—
Pete Laird, Ken McCullough, Dave
Long, Ian Lothian, Dan McWhethy;
1961—Jud Bennet, Jim Bullock, Anton Schaefer, Roger Melling.
The first event of the day was the
game between Varsity Soccer and the
Phelps School at 11:00 A. M. Phelps
was soundly trounced, 3-1, much to
the delight of the alumni and the
school.
After the game, there was a buffet
lunch in the Garth, open to all.
The annual business meeting of the
Alumni Association was held after
lunch.
The out-going president of
the association, Henry N. Herndon,
Jr., '48 of Wilmington spoke to the
assembled alumni about the past year.
Mr. Herndon also said that the
Alumni Holding Corporation, which
administers the War Memorial Fund
is now in the process of selecting a
scholar for the school year of 19631964. He said that Dr. James Rowes,
'46, the Rev. Patterson, '49, and Dr.
and Mrs. Pell continue their work in
Bechuanaland, Alaska, and Saigon,
Vietnam, respectively. The president
called attention to the display of
alumni authors in the library which
was of special interest.
Following Mr. Herndon's report,
the Treasurer announced that there
have been excellent returns in the
alumni giving program, but stressed
the fact that the precentage of givers was distressingly low (35%). He
also mentioned the new archives'
shelves in the Master's Library,
which are a gift of the alumni.
The Headmaster's report to the
alumni was the next business of the
Cooler Than
The Average
Cold water has long been a problem at St. Andrew's -- not in the
showers, but in the drinking fountains. In the gym, the student custom to combat the problem has been
to place a chair over the faucet about
half an hour before they plan to be
thirsty. The water then has ample opportunity to leave the lukewarm stage.
The procedure has recently been outlawed, for while it temporarily solves
the problem, it does tend to waste
thirty minutes worth of water.
One could not expect this situation
to be immediately remedied, not even
at St. Andrew's; but one step has
been taken which does deserve a bit
of passing mention. In the closing
months of last year, a water cooler
was installed in the main common
room fountain. Although it is conspicuously located near the Business
Office, it does nonetheless provide relief to the passing student dead with
thirst. It does present a reasonable
attempt to begin remedying the situation; and there is still cold water in
the showers.
The second part is used as a research laboratory. It contains biophotographic equipment, some of

instead of replacing them allow them
to spill over onto the floor from the
table where they were hastily thrown.
Further, when boys enter the library
during the ten minute recess in the
morning and at night, they seem to
be very unconcerned with those who
are still trying to study. One can
imagine that these same misfits would
be wholly self-righteous if they were
bothered in the course of their study
in a similar manner.
One last remark is directed toward
the night library supervisors who seem
to be doing a very poor job at keeping order and silence in this area.
While last year's supervisors even
went so far as to replace books and
magazines before leaving for the evening, our present group rarely stirs
from behind its desk of importance
for reasons other than socializing.

S.A.S. J. V. vs. Friends
On October 7, the Little Saints
squashed their foes from the start as
Waiiiwright ran forty yards in the
opening minutes to place the ball
well into Friends' territory.
Dick
Harris carried the ball for a touchdown on a daring line plunge. Dillon passed to Lackey for the conversion.
In the second quarter, Friends was
forced to punt by the mighty Saint's
defensive in the opening series of
plays. Rockwell then sprinted around
left end to the goal for the Little
Saints' second score of the afternoon.
In the second half, the Saints held
the ball in Friends' territory.
In
the closing seconds of the third
period, Whitaker bucked through the
line for the third T. D. In the fourth
quarter, the Redmenites' second and
third stringers managed to hold the
threatening opposition scoreless. As
the game ended, the Saints had begun
another assault deep into the opposition's territory.

Verbal Scrimmage
On Blazers
The recent Kerr Proposal stirred up
so much controversy that the school
was divided almost in half when the
final vote was made. Proposed and
seconded by Jay Kerr and George
Shuster, the statement of the proposal read: " Be it resolved that any
student resident at St. Andrew's for
at least two years, who wins first or
second group honors at the end of a
second or third year of residence, be
thereafter permitted to wear the
School Blazer.
The proposer felt that the basic
reason for this awarding of the School
Blazer was that the person who
achieves in academics should receive
at least equal recognition to the person whose achievements are limited
to the athletic field.
Further, he
attacked an alleged movement .of general conformity in the school based on
the idolization of athletic heroes, loss
of free thought and spirit prevalent
throughout the school, and inability
to break with so-called tradition.
John Schoonover, speaking on behalf of the opposition, pointed out
that the School Blazer was supposed
to be a meaningful recognition of service above and beyond the requisite
functions in school life, and that he
could not see that academic acheivements fulfilled this requirement.
Commenting on '' Schoonover's lack
of vision," Kerr pointed out in rebuttal that many who are capable of
getting good grades do not, and that
it requires hard work to obtain academic success.
In answer to Schoonover's presumption that the "varsity" blazer was a
grand old tradition, Kerr merely
pointed out that this '' tradition'' had
unfortunately been in existence for
a decade or so, and hardly qualified
in anyone's language as a tradition.
For it was obvious, Kerr claimed,
that those who thought about the matter objectively and did not allow
themselves to be influenced by such
inaccurate cliches as '' tradition'' and
'' reward for .outstanding service''
from the very beginning of the argument, but instead thought clearly for
a while, would vote for the proposal.
On Sunday night ,October 14 seventyeight people qualified for Kerr's definition of clear thinkers; ninety-threee
did not.
The following quotes represent a
cross-section of the student body's
opinions on the Kerr Proposal:
Dick Crawford (VI) : It is obvious
that anyone in favor of this proposal is more concerned with the material
rewards in life than intangibles such
as knowledge and learning.
Bob Pyle (VI) : I feel it should be
restricted to as few people as possible;
that is, the select group known as The
Sixth Form.
Stan Hudson (V) : It was ridiculous.
Justin Comstock (III) : It was terribly senseless. I would like to change
my comment to conform with Hudson's.
Dick Kingsley (III) : It was good.
People should put emphasis where it
belongs.
Mike Kirchberger (VI) : The defeat of the Kerr Proposal was a typical manifestation of the conformity
present in this school. It is obvious
to all individualists that this proposover to President-Elect
Thomas al is necessary and was justified.

The Sportlight
Those of you who watched the
first boat crew lose to Hun School
last year by a meager three feet were
necessarily disappointed that the extra thirty-seven inches hadn't materialized out of somewhere for the red
and white oarsmen. You were disappointed even though close finishes
are characteristic of crew races.
Imagine then the heart-break when
a football squad loses by a mere 24
inches to a team that it outplayed in
every respect except scoring.
That was the situation that the
varsity gridmen were in after the
B.oys' Latin game on alumni day.
When Bill Hammond got up from
the ball after fourth down in the
closing seconds of the game, it rest-
ed on the field a short twenty-four
inches from the victory stripe.
Boys' Latin ran out the clock.
During practice that week the
watchword " 24" rang out whenever
the squad seemed to slow down. The
word " 24" was the vitamin pill
that allowed the team to survive its
thousands of yards of wind sprints
after practice every day.
It was first down and goal to go

Chip Gordy (VI) : No comment.
Chris Beal (VI) : I don't think the
Kerr Proposal is worth a comment.
Dick Porter (VI) : I thought that
Schoonover's argument was pretty
bad. I was nonetheless very surprised
that Kerr got so many votes, for I
felt that the louder people in the
school led others to think they were
along with the gang if they voted
against it.
Rod Ball (VI) : I would say that
although John Schoonover's oratory
was not the most eloquent or the most
organized, he brought out the basic
faults of the Kerr Proposal.
Al Day (V) : I think there should
be recognition for academics, but it
should not be the same as for athletics. I don 't know what it should be.
Doug Gilehrist (IV) : I have always considered a person who has a
blazer and is not a sixth former as
one Avho is athletically inclined. One
who is a first or second grouper receives enough recognition for his work
without receiving a School Blazer.
Lee Carr (IV) : I feel that the
School Blazer should always be looked
upon as a symbol .of seniority or athletic prowess, not as a symbol of academic achievement.
George Shuster (VI) : As a seconder
of the proposal, I was heartened by
the support given it. I feel that those
who broke with conformity and tradition in its support were correct in
asserting that academics should not
be subordinated to athletics.
Jay Kerr (VI) : The votes have been
cast; let us, just for a moment, permit sleeping dogs lie.
John Schoonover (VI) : Although I
am fervently opposed to the Kerr
Proposal and somewhat surprised at
the small margin of victory for the
opposition, I feel that Jay presented
his case very well.

Saints led 12-0 with the first quarter
.only half over.
There was no more scoring until
late in the second quarter when Sanford scored on a twelve yard pass
play.
The Saints moved the ball throughout the first half but were unable to
score after their first two touchdowns. So, at the half, St. Andrew's
led by a 12-6 score.
St. Andrew's scored early in the
second half on Dick Buckaloo 's 8yard sprint around the right end. The
extra point pass from Pope to Bob
Pyle was good and St. Andrew's led
20-6.
There was no more scoring until the
final minutes of the game when Jim
Cooper, the Saints' kicking specialist,
tried a 28-yard field goal. The kick
was short and a Sanford back elected
to run the ball out but was tackled in
the end zone by alert defensive end
Chip Gordy, giving St. Andrew's their
final two points.
This game was a fine team effort
as the Saints' offensive end defensive
units both played exceptionally well.
The Saints' offensive machine was
led by the passing of Jack Pope, who
completed 7 of 14 passes for 87 yards
and one touchdown, and the running
of Eric Midleton and Dick Buckaloo,
who had 91 and 57 yards rushing,
respectively.
The Saints' defense, led by Dick
Buckaloo's two pass interceptions,
held Sanford in check most of the
game. In all, the Saints gained 280
yards rushing and 90 yards passing,
proving that the Red and White are

Although the Saints provided an
unexciting offensive game, in the
second half, they continued to play
fine defensive ball.
After an impressive struggle, during which each
team possessed the ball four times,
Sanford finally made their only tally of the afternoon.

The team of Burkett and Forbes
made three or four beautiful plays in
the first half, passing back and forth
from the midline down to the Moorestown goal, and it was only a combination of luck and skill on the part
of the Moorestown goalie and fullbacks that prevented the two from
scoring.
After a scoreless first half, the
Saints came back strong and outhustled their opponents in the first
half of the third quarter, when Eusty
Capers brought the ball down from
close to mid-field and made a beautiful shot into the upper right-hand
corner of the goal.
Moorestown fought back strongly
after this, and moved the ball down
to our penalty area, where the referee made a call of '' playing the
man" on Co-captain Dexter Chapin.
A Moorestown boy took the shot,
which goalie Hoffecker missed by a
few short inches.
The game slowed down after this,
and the end of the fourth quarter
saw the score deadlocked at one to
one, a situation brought about mainly by the excellent play of the two
defenses, and particularly by that of
the two Saint fullbacks, Barrett and
Chapin.
The game went into two overtime
periods after a short rest, and although the Saints controlled the ball
most of the time, they grew cautious
and refused to shoot at the goal.
After three valiant efforts on the
part of Schoonover and Capers, the
final gun sounded, and the two tired
teams emerged in a tie after a wellfought game.

Milford J. V. Overrun
In Opener 12-6
Aided by a strong defensive and
superlative offensive maneuvers by
quarterback Sandy Dillon, the Little
Saints downed Milford for the school 's
first football victory this season.
The Little Saints' first successful
scoring attempt came in the second
quarter when halfback Larry Bockwell snared a pass from Dillon for
thirty-five yards.
Eockwell scored again for the
second quarter on a successfully executed counter play for a forty-five
yard gain.
In the second half, Milford made
their first move as they scored on the
ground, driving fifty-four yards in
fifteen plays.
Milford began a similar assault in
the fourth quarter when they drove
for forty-five yards in eleven downs.
The Saints' solid defensive led by
bull-dog Mills stopped the drive on
the St. Andrew's fifteen yard line
where the Saints took possession of
the ball in the final seconds of the
game. The final tally was 12-6 in
favor of the fighting Eedmenites.
Sanford Downed In
Second Game, 14-6
The Little Saints charged to their
third victory this season when they
defeated Sanford 14-6. The Saints
sewed up the game in the first half
under the excellent running of Dick
Harris who aided backs Whitaker,
Eockwell, and Dillon in moving the
ball downfield. Tawes ' steam-roller
tactics then enabled Eidley Whitaker
to romp across the goal line. For
the conversion, Dick Harris smashed
through the line to make the score
8-0.
In the second quarter, the Saints
moved into scoring position once again
when Larry Eockwell intercepted a
Sanford pass.

After three and one-half weeks of
hard practice, the Saints, led by cocaptains Dick Buckaloo and Al Crichton, travelled to Pennsylvania to play
an experienced Chestnut Hill team.
Upset by first-game jitters, the
Saints left the field on the short end
of a 19-0 score.
The Eed and White were not able
to mount an attack potent enough to
penetrate the Killer's goal. Two first
quarter fumbles by the Hilliers gave
scoring chances, but the Cardinals
weren't able to capitalize on these opportunities.
The interior line of the Saints did
a commendable job restricting the
Hillers to very few gains up the middle.
Outstanding in the St. Andrew's
cause were center Phil Tonks and
fullback Eric Middleton, who both
played well offensively and defensively. They were awarded for their efforts by being appointed co-captains
for the next week's game against
Boy's Latin.

The second game of the season was
played against Boys' Latin of Baltimore on the St. Andrew's field. Before a large alumni crowd, the Saints
attempt to even up their record at
1-1 was shattered in a close fought
game, which resulted in an 8-6 loss.
The Saints played well through most
of the game, and only a few unlucky
events kept the Eed and White from
their first victory.
Fate descended on the Saints early
in the game as they fumbled the first
play from scrimmage on the 20 yard
line and Boys' Latin recovered.
Shaken by the early misfortune, the
Saints were unable to stop Boys'
Latin from scoring.
On the fifth play, Boys' Latin
quarterback, Jay Sweeney, an all-American Lacrosse player, forced his
way into the end zone from three
yards out, putting the Baltimoreans
out in front. A pass from Sweeney
to one of his half-backs on the extra
points, supplied Boys' Latin with
what promised to be the winning
margin.
After an exchange of punts, the
Saints showed the Saint Andrew's
supporters their mighty offense which
had been contained the week before.
Led by the hard running of fifth
form backs Eric Middleton and Bill
Hammond, and third former Gardner Cadwalader, the Saints proceeded to march 75 yards in eleven plays
with Middleton capping the drive
with a four yard plunge to pay-dirt.
Throughout the second and third
quarters, the Saints completely dominated play, but were unable to score
again. After stopping Boys' Latin
on the St. Andrew's 30 yard line,
the Saints started to march with
only four minutes remaining in the
game.
With Middleton carrying
the majority of the time, the Saints
worked the ball down to the six yard
line where they had it first down.
After Middleton carried for two
yards, half backs Hammond and Cadwalader carried the ball down to the
two yard line, where the Saints faced
a fourth down with two yards to go.
Quarterback Jack Pope gave the ball
to his hard-running half back, Hammond, on an off-tackls slant, but Bill
was met and stopped at the goal line
by four spirited Boys' Latin players.
After Sweeney ran a quarterback
sneak, the clock ran out on the Saints.
The Saints showed considerable improvement over the previous week's
game and gave S.A.S. fans great
hope for the future. For their outstanding efforts, guard Bill Pfeifer
and halfback Hammond were selected
co-captains for the next week's game
against conference foe Wilmington
Friends.
SAS Gridders Triumph
In Conference Opener,
Down W. F. 20-14
St. Andrew's travelled to Wilmington on Friday, October 12, to play
conference foe Wilmington Friends
for the first conference game of the
year for each. The Saints, seeking
their first victory, were not to be
disappointed as they came home with
a 20-14 victory.
The first quarter was filled with a
volley of punts, but no real action
took place until the second quarter
when S.A.S. marched down to the
Friends four-yard line. Unfortunately,
Eric Middleton, the Saints' 200-pound
fullback, fumbled in the end zone on
the next play, and Friends recovered,
stopping the Saints' drive.
Some avid St. Andrew's fans feared
that fate might once again plague the
Bed and White, but the Saints held
the opponents and took back the ball.
With fullback Middleton, and halfback Gardner Cadwalader carrying, the
Saints marched to the Friends' 21yard line, where on the next play
quarterback Jack Pope fired a touchdown pass to Cadwalader. The extra
point attempt was not successful and
the Saints had a 6-0 lead.
After holding Friends again, the
Saints marched down to the opponents' 14-yard line where Middleton,
having done the majority of the ballcarrying, bolted across the goal line
untouched for a touchdown. Middleton caught a pass for the extra
point, and St. Andrew's led 14-0
with just a minute and a half left
in the half.
The Saints kicked off and John
Rhodes, a Wilmington Friends halfback, returned the ball 80 yards for
a touchdown. The extra point attempt
failed and S. A. S. led at halftime
14-6.
The second half found St. Andrew's
in control of the game, but as in
previous games, unable to score. Late
in the third period another defensive
lapse gave Wilmington Friends a
touchdown on a 45-yard pass play.
A completed pass gave Friends the
tying points.
In the fourth quarter, the Saints
were never quite able to score and
with two minutes left in the game,
Friends took over the ball on their
own 20-yard line.
Good fortune finally came to the
Saints as alert halfback Gardner Cadwalader picked off a pass on the first
play and returned it to the 20-yard
line. Middleton carried the ball six
times in a row and finally bolted over
from the three-yard line with the
winning score.
Except for a few mental lapses on
defense, the Saints played a fine
game. Middleton carried the ball 30
times, grinding out 136 yards. His
hard running, Cadwalder's alert playing and the interior line's playing all
contributed to a winning cause.
SAS Continues D.I.S.C.
Winning Streak
A large Fathers' Day crowd was on
hand to witness the St. Andrew's
football team win its second straight
conference football game by beating
Sanford Prep 22-6. This was by far
the Saints' most impressive performance as they completely dominated
the game.
Led by their new captain, Al Crichton, the Saints scored the first time
they got the football after the kickoff.They marched sixty yards down
to the Sanford 5-yard line where on
fourth down quarterback Jack Pope
threw a beautiful touchdown pass to
fullback Eric Middleton. A pass to
Middleton for the extra point was
incomplete and the Saints led 6-0.
After holding Sanford in check, the
Saints marched down to the opponent's 6-yard line in 8 plays. Junior
halfback Bill Hammond then carried
over for the touchdown. The extra

Mr. Hillier Speaks
To Faculty On
Architecture
Mr. Hillier gave a very interesting
talk to the faculty on Tuesday the
27th of November, dealing principally with classical architecture. This
presentation was made, Mr. Moss explained, as a step toward giving various masters a chance to see how their
colleagues perform in the subjects
which they teach. Mr. Hiller spoke
specifically on the Julian Claudian
period (30 B.C. to 67 A.D.), the highpoint of Roman architecture. Mr.
Hillier explained that the latter portion of this era was marked by the
eruption of Mt. Vesuvius and the subsequent preservation of two Roman
cities by the volcanic ash. From these
two cities much was learned about
Roman architecture. He went on to
cite specific examples of how Roman
architecture in that 100 year period
differed from earlier Greek architecture. He stressed the fact that
because the Romans used more desirable building material than the
Greeks there remain more ancient
Greek constructions than Roman.
The major difference between these
two forms of architecture, according to Mr. Hillier, is that the Romans wrere more individualistic and
experimental, their buildings employed a great deal of decoration, rare
materials, and new conceptions such
as domes, arches, and more elaborate floor plans. The Greeks tended,
however, to make all their buildings
from the same general pattern and
therefore their architecture was, unlike the Romans', mean to be seen
from any side rather than just the
front. It is for this reason that so
few Roman constructions remain intact today, while the less appealing
Greek buildings remain standing in
far greater abundance.
Mr. Hillier illustrated his talk with
Alumni Gift.
Next Fall
In Sports
The 1962 Football and Soccer
Teams faired reasonably well this autumn, but how are things going to be
next autumn? This is a question every
athelete involved with these teams is
asking now.
In an effort to make the difficult
analysis of next year's chances, The
Cardinal has chased the coaches and
captains to find out their opinions.
First talking to Coach Duncan Deniiy about the soccer team at the end of
this year and the prospects for next
year, we did not receive too much of
an answer. Coach Denny praised his
hard-working team for their spirited
play, especially in their second Braiidywine game.
He gave no real prediction as to
whether the '63 team could uphold
this year's 7-2-1 record.
But next year's captain-elect, Warren Hoffecker, offered some comment:
'' We have lost a great deal, but still
have a solid core left. Five lettermen are returning who will form a
very good nucleus, but we still have
to depend heavily on new boys.
This year only three Fourth Formers and six Fifth Formers dressed
for games.
Taking all this into account, the
Cardinal predicts a fairly good season
next year. The loss of such experienced players as Chapin, Heckscher,
Burkett, Forbes, Hughes, McCaghren,
Kirchberger, Soderberg, and Schoonover, and the rise of higher interstate competition are reasons for the
prediction of only a fair season.
Unfortunately, we can make 110
comment about Junior Varsity Football, for Coach B. Hughes receives
a new squad every year.
Furthermore, it is reasonably certain that a good number of this
year's members of the 710 team will
play varsity next year.
Coach Hughes in interview, however, repeated his praise of the high
spirit and abilities of his team. He
commended Captain Dillon for leading a team of remarkable speed.
He also cited visiting coaches as
saying that the tough defense was
the best part of the team.
Yet most of this good will be attributed to the varsity next year;
thus Coach Hughes can only hope for
another team as lively as this year's.
Speaking to Coach Reyner, we
found out his opinion of next year's
varsity squad: '' We have a lot of
work to do, especially in the line.''
This seems to be the trouble: this
year's line is entirely senior. All
seven linemen who lettered graduate
in June. Junior lineman Al Day,
punt centering specialist, is the only
On November third, the majority
of the boys in the upper forms eagerly awaited the arrival of the buses
from St. Timothy's.
After what
seemed an eternity, the girls arrived.
Ushered through the dining room, the
girls left their coats in classrooms
and returned (to the dining room)
to sample Walt's culinary efforts. As
the couples filled their plates, they
left the dining room to look for suitable places in which to consume Walter 's generosities.
Getting to know their dates better, everyone returned to the dining
room. Charles Gresh was getting in
full swing and, again in our hallowed
halls, the beat of the twist resounded,
accompanied by the long-awraited female voice.
During the dance Gresh began to
play the Charleston. That great pillar of tradition, Mr. Gammons, began
to dance as only he can, accompanied
by a lively little girl, to the amazement and delight of everyone. As the
evening progressed, the SAS circles
formed, exhibiting such old SAS
standards as the Pony, the Al Crichtoii Three-Quarter-Time, and new innovations like the Scratch. The eve
niiig wore on, and soon the time
came for the girls' to return to St.
Timothy's. Good-byes were said, the
buses left, and the sixth form returned the dining room to its former
state.

Over all, the team loses eleven senior lettermen: the line, backs Dick

Mr. Reyner looks with some hope

Faculty Joins

Carol Service
Amos, Hillier
McCandless First
To Use Fund
The Fishburne Petition, introduced
at the School Meeting of October 11,
obtained the widespread approval of
the student body. It humbly requested that "the faculty consider giving out grades by individual report
instead of public posting of all
grades." The authors of the petition, Gary Fishburne and seconder
Charlie Heckscher, felt that public
posting of grades destroy the true
aim of education. '' The competitive
spirit caused by comparison of grades
produces unhealthy conditions for
some students; conditions that can
only worsen the state of the student.''
In other words, the public posting
of grades put too much emphasis on
grades, and the resulting incentive
of competition is essentially poor.
Grades are a result of a student's private efforts and capabilities, and
should therefore be a personal matter.
The faculty not only approved the
petition but saw that it quickly went
into effect. On the day following
the registration of grades, faculty
At the faculty meeting in June,
1962, the creation of a new faculty
project fund was announced by Mr.
Moss on the behalf of the Trustees.
The fund is intended to allow several masters each year to do independent work in their fields of interest.
Those who participate in the program may do research on a project,
or use the grant for equipment or
secretarial help. The projects are
varied, the only requisite being that
the work further some aspect of the
master's interest.
The Trustees felt that the establishment of such a fund would lead
to the development of a community
of teacher-scholars. Experimentation
is encouraged in the projects.
At present there are three masters
taking advantage of the program.
They are Mr. Amos, Mr. Hillier and
Mr. McCandless.
Mr. Amos is engaged in a photographic study of pond life. He is
concerned mainly with the pond and
its inhabitants as an ecologicol unit.
In connection with this study he
has taken some 3,500 bio-photographs from wliich he will select
sixty or seventy of the best color
photos. These will then be enlarged
many times and printed. Most of
the photographs were made in the
biology laboratory or in Noxontown
Pond.
Some, however, were taken
in other parts of the East Coast.
To present the most realistic and
exact pictures of an organism, each
specimen was photographed alive,
which is a partial explanation of the
large number of pictures taken.
Each one illustrates an important biological concept that may be hard
to explain to students in a written or
drawn form. The final selections
will be circulated among schools, colleges, and museums without charge
for teaching and display purposes.
Mr. Amos has for a long time had
an interest in bio-photography, and
has been doing a considerable amount
of work with bio-photographs in addition to the subsidized project. He
is preparing another photographic
study under the auspices of the National Geographic Society.
Mr. Hillier's project is quite different in nature. He is in the process of waiting an ancient history
textbook.
Several years ago he travelled to
a number of the countries that are
covered in the textbook, though not
under the auspices of the Faculty
Project Fund.
Mr. Hillier is using the grant to
secure secretarial help in the preparation of the material. Mr. Van
Horn is currently assisting him. There
is no date set for publication, although Mr. Hilliar said that all the
necessary research has been done.
Mr. McCandless's project is on the
subject of programmed learning in
the field of mathematics. Programmed learning is a new concept in education and the subject of a great
deal of discussion. Programmed
learning is simply a way of organizing material in small bits with frequent questions so as to allow a student to proceeed at his OWTI rate.
The student reads a short selection
outlining a particular aspect of some
problem, answers questions, and, if
correct, continues to the next problem.
Mr. McCandless's study wall be
made on a group of volunteers here
at St. Andrew's. The course is likely to be one which does not require
many previous mathematics courses,
so as to allow all forms to participate.
It may also contain partly
new subject matter, not offered at
S.A.S. previously.
Mr. McCandless is attempting to
find out whether programmed learn-
One of the outstanding events at
school each year is the annual Festival of Lessons and Carols, a service
which is the traditional expression
of Christmas joy. St. Andrew's had
its service this year on Sunday afternoon, December ninth. It was the
last major worship service before the
school adjourned for Christmas and
as such provided a fitting way to end
the term.
This year the service's music consisted mainly of the great carols,
with which all of us are familiar.
The composers varied from Bach to
Mendelssohn and the music ranged
from the exultant "My Sheep Were
Grazing" to the quietly joyous plainsong hymn "Of the Father's Love
Begotten." In talking to Mr. Walker it was found that the emphasis
this year was on simplicity, but simplicity in the best sense. The performance of the music was a community effort, for both faculty and
boys sang in the choir.
Music, of course, is an integral part
of the service, but without the biblical passages concerning the birth
of Jesus Christ and its meaning to
the world the service would be meaningless. The lessons were read by
a representative from each of the
forms, the Senior Prefect, an Alumnus, a Trustee and the Headmaster.
They began in Genesis with the story
of man's fall from grace and continued through the prophecies of
Christ's birth to the actual story of
the first Christmas. These lessons are
traditional in every service and conclude with the great passage from St.
John: "In the Beginning was the
Word and the Word was with
God. . ."
Each year the school invites all
the members of the school family to
this service and it is well attended
not only by them, but by various
alumni and other friends of the
school. The Chapel, especially decorated with evergreens and several
hundred candles is truly an impressive sight when it is filled with the
great words and carols of our Christian heritage. This year's service was
an act of worship shared by the entire school to the glory of God.

determined to win, but the second
quarter was repeated, with more emphasis on the Brandywine side of the
field. The Saint halfbacks, Kent
Hughes, Dick King, and Jerry Soderberg, kept feeding the ball to the line
in a tremendous effort to help them
score, but the ball just did not seem
to want to go into the goal. The
fourth quarter was but a repeat of
the third, with the Saints continually
threatening the opponents' goal, but
still no score.
The overtime started out wonderfully for the Saints, with a tremendous drive into the opponents' goal
climaxed by a scoring boot by George
Forbes, who had just been appointed
third co-captain. The Saints did not
stop there, however, for they kept
the ball down at the Brandywine goal
for the remainder of the game, leaving the defense very little work. When
the final gun sounded, the Saints litteraly jumped off the field, the happiest team to ever win a soccer game.
Phelps Upsets Saints
On November 10, the soccer team
traveled to Phelps to continue their
Avinning streak over this team, but
fate willed otherwise. The Saints
outplayed the Purple Aggies, but
they got the winning goal on a penalty shot in the third quarter from
just outside the penalty circle. Made
by the Phelps captain it bounced
off goalie Hoffecker's hands and was
then knocked in by another Phelps
player. The team for the most part
played a good game, but just did
not have the scoring punch necessary to win.
Moorestown Shut Out
On November 13, the Saints traveled to Moorestown in the rain to
prove that our previous tie with this
team was an accident.
The first
quarter opened with the Saints in
control of the ball, and we soon scored on a shot by Co-captain Heckseher. The quarter ended with the
score one to nothing and with our
team in control. The second quarter proved to be much like the first,
with Heckscher again scoring, this
time in the middle of the quarter.
The fine defensive play on the part
of fullbacks Brent McCaghren, who
never seemed to be able to get up off
of the ground, and Co-captain Dexter Chapin, who set a new record for
sliding tackles, accounted for the
scoreless state of the Moorestown
team at the end of the first half.
The second half proved to be much
like the first, with the Saints again
in control of the ball. The Saints
drive was climaxed this time, when,
in the middle of the third quarter,
George Forbes booted one past the
Moorestown goalie. The Saints then
settled down to a generally defensive game, with the two fullbacks,
center halfback Kent Hughes and
goalie Warren Hoffecker doing a fine
job of containing the Moorestown
offense. The game ended in a 3-0
shutout, and the Saints came off the
field a very satisfied team.
Saints Defeat
Westtown 6-1
For Record Total
For the last game of the season,
the Saints played host to a fine
Westtown Second Association team
for the second match between the
two. The first quarter started in a
great manner for the Saints, as, with
half of the quarter gone, Co-captain
Charlie Heckscher smashed a goal by
the dazzled Westtown goalie to put
the Saints ahead. The second quarter proved to be a disastrous one for
the Saints as they seemed to fall
apart at the seams. The Westtown
team controlled the ball most of the
quarter and had the benefit of a corner shot on which they scored the
tying goal. Thus the first half ended.
The second half proved to be the
opposite of the second quarter, for
the Saints had control of the ball
almost the entire time. Within four
minutes, Eric Burkett put two shots
past the Westtown goalie. The entire team contributed to these shots,
but the Saint halfbacks, Jerry Soderberg, Dick King, and Kent Hughes,
helped greatly in their feeding of the
ball to the line. The fourth quarter
was, if possible even better than the
third. Charlie Heckscher fired his
second goal of the game to give the
Saints a margin on which they could
rest, but the team refused to accept
this as a point of rest. Soon after
Heckscher's goal, George Forbes fired
another to increase our total, but the
team still refused to stop their scoring. With only seconds left in the
game, John Schoonover shot, but the
shot proved to be only an assist to
Dave Wood, who made his first and
only goal of the season to set a new
team scoring record. Credit is due
to John Schoonover and Mike Kirehberger, who played excellent games,
but who never seemed to be able to
score. Credit is due also to the stalwarts of the defense; Co-captain Dexter, Chapin, Brent McMcaghren, and
Captain-to-be Warren
Hoffecker.
Football Bows
To Archmere
St. Andrew's aspirations for a tie
in the independent conference were
obliterated by a rough Archmere,
which has dominated Conference play
for the past three years.
It was apparent from the start
that the Saints were in for a rough
afternoon as Archmere scored on the
first play from scrimmage after the
Saints fumbled the opening kick-off
which came on a 22 yard sprint by
conference scoring champ Lee Autman.
The Saints held Archmere twice
before the Archers were able to
score again.
Another score before
the half gave Archmere a 20-0 halftime lead.
The Saints had a chance to score
after the half but they weren't able
to capitalize on the opportunity. Thi
seemed to take the spirit out of St.
Andrew's and Archmere scored easily
throughout the rest of the game ending up with a 48-0 victory and an Independent Conference Championship

Tower Hill, 32-0
In Last Game
On Monday, November 12, 1962,
the SAS J. V. was host to Tower
Hill as they became the only SAS
team this fall to have a perfect season, 7 wins, no losses. This was the
first undefeated season for a J.V.
team since 1958, and the first time
that a J.V. team had won a total of
seven games.
From the very start, the "Little
Saints" showed their prowess as they
held the "Hillers" until Lackey
broke up a pass play thirteen yards
behind the line of scrimmage. On
the next play, a Tower Hill punt attempt was foiled again by Lackey as
he threw the intended punter for an
eighteen yard loss. Soon after, when
the Saints took possession .of the
ball, Rockwell scored on a fifteen
yard pass play. "Golden Toe" Kane,
showed his usual form, made the
conversion.
Following the kickoff to Tower
Hill, "Masher" Lackey again came
on the scene, pushing the '' Hillers''
back another fifteen yards where
they punted. The "Little Saints"
then ran the ball for several yards
until they were also forced to punt.
Tower Hill, however, returned the
compliment on the first play as they
fumbled, the Redmenites recovering.
Dillon and backs, outmaiieuvering
Tower Hill, moved the ball to the
one yard line where Harris scored on
a 124 run, followed by "Golden
Toe" on the conversion.
In the following minutes, Tower
Hill seemed on the move as they
fought for twenty yards, when Don
Meredith and Dan Smith foiled a
pass attempt. Smith came through
again on the next play to foil a 121
run.
The next three plays, with SAS in
possession, saw no success. On a
fourth down situation, Dillon threw
a thirty-five yard pass to Rockwell
for the final score of the half.
In the third quarter, the "Little
Saints" had more trouble advancing
the ball as they received the Tower
Hill kickoff to begin the second half.
In a series of short ground penetrations, Whitaker, Dillon and Rockwell
marched down field amid a strong
line, where Whitaker dampened Tower Hill spirits with the Saints fourth
score of the day.
The fourth quarter saw little action as both teams yielded nothing un-
St. Paul's is another team that
has fared well against the Big Red.
Out of nine games played between
1937 and 1957, St. Andrew's won
only two and dropped seven. The St.
Paul's victories include two shut-outs,
the St. Andrew's none. In fact, St.
Paul's is the only team to play St.
Andrew's as many as nine times and
scrape through without a blanking.
(Archmere, for example, was shutout 14-0 in 1959.) The total scoring
shows St. Paul's well ahead with 156
to 63, an average game score of 17
to 9.
less than twenty-six points, the Saints
never managed to get more than 19.
After five straight SAS defeats and
two blanks, the series was terminated.
The Baltimore Friends series is a
hotly contested one with an unusual
number of six ties in nineteen games.
There have been 6 SAS wins, seven
defeats. There have been three shutouts for each side. St. Andrew's
leads in scoring 237 to 191, an average 13-10 game. At present St. Andrew's is on the crest of a three game
winning string and a two-game shutout string.
The Big Red has enjoyed a slight
edge over St. John's since 1937, winning eight, dropping six. Both teams
obtained two shut-outs. The scoring
is 209 for SAS, 181 against, on average 15-13 victory. The last game of
the series, played in 1955, was a
33-6 SAS victory.
Boys' Latin at Baltimore, played
against in 1962, has only played SAS
two times before since 1937 ( '40 and
'42.) 1940 was a 2-0 SAS victory;
1942 was a 14-0 SAS victory, 1962
was an 8-6 Boys' Latin victory. St.
Andrew's has thus scored nearly three
times as many as Boys' Latin has
and enjoys an average game victory
of 7-3.
Although Archmere has dominated
its series with St. Andrew's, it has
never scored more than 26 points
against the Big Red (and the time it
scored 26 was way back in '43) until this year's 48-0 game. The Green
Archers are 7-1 against SAS, enjoy
a total scoring margin of 148 to 32,
and have an average game of 10 to
4 against the Big Red. Archmere's
only setback was in 1959, and many

to later lose the conference title to
Tower Hill on extra points.
Tower Hill, always the frustrating
aspect of SAS football in recent
years, is riding an 8-game winning
streak against the Saints that began
with a 20-12 victory in 1954. Up
until that year SAS was ahead nine
victories to five, (two ties) and three
shut-outs to two. The scoring was
250 to 119 with the average game
being 16 to 7. Now Tower Hill leads
with 13 victories to 9, three shut-outs
to three shut-outs, 350 total ponits to
334, and an average game of 16 to 15.

Varsity Football Ends With 4-4 Log;
Finishes 3 - 2 In Conference Play
Bait. Friends Smeared
On October 28th St. Andrew's played host to Baltimore Friends in a
non-conference game.
The Saints,
riding on a two game winning streak,
were looking for victory number
three and were not to be disappointed as they came .out on the top of a
37-0 tally.
The Saints, paced offensively by
Stan Thompson, who scored eight
points, and Eric Middleton, who
scored twelve, were in command from
the beginning .of the game. After
checking an early Friends attack, the
Saints marched down to the Friends'
48 yard line where Thompson, who
had been 011 the side lines since
the fall of 1960 on account of injuries, swept around right end and
went down the sideline for the score.
A pass from Jack Pope to Eric Middleton gave St. Andrew's the twopoint conversion and an 8-0 lead.
In the second quarter the Saints
drove down to the Friends 36 yard
line where Thompson, on an off tackle
slant, carried the remaining distance
for the score. Another Pope to Middleton pass accounted for the conversion.
Late in the first half the Saints
put on a fine defensive showing as
they held the Friends' team at the
fifteen yard line. A fine pass defense led by Dick Buckaloo and Gardner Cadwalader helped curtail the
Friends' passing attack in this, their
deepest penetration.
The Saints
kicked-off to start the second half
and a Friends return to the Saints
43 yard line brought hope to the
Baltimore rooters. But the Saints
were determined not to be scored
upon and they checked the Friends'
thrusts, forcing them to punt.
The Saints picked up where they
left off in the first half and marched
down to the Friends' 16 yard line
where Thompson, aided by the fine
blocking of Kirk Varnadoe and Rick
Hillier, broke loose for the score. A
third Pope to Middleton conversion
attempt was successful and the
Saints led 24-0.
The Saints held again and the
second string plus Middleton worked the ball down to the four yard
line, where the big fullback Middleton carried it over. Jim Cooper's
extra point kick went wide and the
Saints led 30-0.
The second string, with Bunker
"the Kid" Hill at the controls,
marched to the 25 yard line. Hill,
whose tremendous arm had been used
sparingly up to this point, uncorked
a beautiful pass to speedy halfback
Murray Allen for the score. Jimmy
Cooper once again tried and this time
he didn't miss. This was a perfect
ending to a well played game by the
Saints.
Thompson led all rushers with 146
yards in 14 carries for a 10.4 average. Much of the credit must go to
Senior tackle Chip Gordy, who
sprung Thompson loose on his two
long touchdown runs. The defence,
led by Captain Al Crichton, is also
to be commended as they stopped
all .offensive threats posed by the
Baltimore team. All in all, it was
one of the Saints' best games of the
year.
T. H. Is Victor
On November 10th the Saints travelled to Wilmington to take on conference foe Tower Hill whom they
hadn't beaten in eight years.
St.
Andrew's was tied for first place
with powerful Archmere, iieithed having lost a game in conference play,
and this was a "must" game if the
Saints were to stay in contention.
The Saints started out as if they
meant business as Stan Thompson
ran back the opening kick off to the
43 yard line. The Saints went on
to make two first downs, one with
the aid of a penalty, but then the atack bogged down. Tower Hill took
over the ball on their own 18 yard
line from where they marched down
to the Saints' twelve. Al Nichols,
all-conference halfback, bolted over
for the score and with a pass completion, the extra point, the Hillers
led 8-0.
Fine defensive play marked the
rest of the action in the first half.
Both St. Andrew's and Tower Hill
were struck hard by injuries in the
first half as the Saints lost halfback
Thompson and Tower Hill Nichols.
Tower Hill scored immediately after
the second half kick off with fullback Jim Morton going 62 yards for
the score. The Hillers scored only
a minute and a half later with Mortoii this time running 38 yards.

SMI Announces Four New Members

Without Advisor
On January 28th, two years to the
day The Kenston Trio and The Deltones made their debut on the St.
Andrew's School stage, The Student
Musical Independent Organization announced the selection of four members of a student group to "carry
on the tradition of independent student entertainment at St. Andrew's
School.'' Because of the news of a
new singing group as well as an apparent break from "Palace Productions," The Cardinal went to investigate the possibilities of a story.
About Palace Productions, Jay
Kerr, manager of the trio and Deltones, stated that there had been talk
of their stage crew, part of Palace
Productions, considering choosing a
faculty advisor for the entire group
so that they could accomplish more.
liccan.se the entire organization could
not effectively be organized under
one all-purpose advisor and because
'' the entire purpose of our group is
independent musical accomplishment
of the students, we therefore formed
a group encompassing only the performers, without an advisor. Our persistence to remain independent would
have only served to hamper the stage
crew.''
The new quartet, Doug Gilchrist,
Chris Freinek, John Morton, and Terry Wild, will appear with The Kenston trio and The Deltones for the
remainder of the school year.
What will happen next year ? '' We
are very confident that the four who
came through our auditions are more
than capable of taking over where we
left off," said spokesman Kerr. "Already we have seen an earnest devotion on every member's part, and their
ideas have become an added help.''
As for next year, no one can really
tell. The process of choosing a pianist
and drummer still face the group.
Whether or not they are all completely
wrapped up in something too big for
them, no one can tell at this point.
But the determination which came to
the surface during the interviews indicates that the senior members of the
groups will see to it that the studentsto-come will get the same valuable
and enjoyable experience which they
have received during their two years
of entertaining.
The student body caught its first
glimpse of the new group when SMI
presented its show on Sunday afternoon, February 10. Because of publication deadlines, we are unable to
further report on the performance.
To senior members Kent Hughes.
Ogden Hamilton, Dick Porter, and Jay

Astronomy Club
Criss - Cross
Announces
One of the less well-known of the Year's Plans
extra-curricular activities at school is
the Astronomy Club, due to its hours
of operation. While other students
are still digesting dinner, the members of the club are out on the lawn,
observing such heavenly bodies as
the Milky Way and other nebulae,
Jupiter, the moon, and any special
sight that may occur.
At a meeting which I attended, before going outside, Dick Shoemaker,
president of the club, presented a
calendar of occurrences that would be
in the sky this winter and spring.
The most noteworthy of these is an
eclipse of the moon in the late spring.
Other sights were things such as
Mars in late February and various
nebulae. After announcing these
sights, Shoemaker exhibited several
photographs that he had taken
through .one of the telescopes. Several of these astro-photographs clearly showed the surface of the moon.
Mr. Denny, the faculty advisor,
briefly outlined the purposes of the
club to several new members, explaining that the club presents a chance
to those who are really interested in
learning about astronomy, and also
to those who are really interested in
through a telescope and observing
what they happen to find.
At the School Meeting on January
13, 1963, Fred Coleman brought the
Clover-Coleman proposal before the
school for its opinion. The proposal was, essentially, that during

This year, The Criss Cross Club is
engaged in a number of activities in
addition to the usual spring play.
There is hope of producing two plays
this year. However, it is more than
likely that the additional play Avill
be incorporated into the club's activities next year.
This year's production will be My
Three Angels, a comedy in three acts
written by Sam and Bella Spewack,
co-authors of Three Blind Mice, a play
produced here some five years ago.
My Three Angels was first produced
in New York, in 1953. It was later
adapted for the screen.
The play itself involves the members of a French family in French
Guiana who, like most people, are beset by a number of money problems.
The means by which they are helped
out of their financial straits comprise
the substance of the play.
Readings for parts have been going

Mr. Moss will design the set, and
head the construction duties of the
stage crew.
It is improbable that the club advisors will find time to produce their
second play, and they are therefore
planning to compensate for the extra
interest this year by sponsoring a
group which will read plays, a projected activity to be under Mr. Bennett 's direction.
Another dramatic offering is on the
calendar for February ninth, when a
group from Wilmington will present
The Rivalry, a dramatization .of the
Lincoln-Douglas debates of 1858.
If the first term seemed dramatically inactive, the work which CrissCross has lined up will more than
compensate in the mind of any lover
of the stage.

Columbia
In fog thick enough to bring tears
to the eyes of the least sentimental
Englishman, twenty men and boys
left the eompus on February second
for an evening in New York. Composed of students led by Messrs. Ryan
and Maddison, the group aimed at an
early arrival in the big city so that
they might dine in style before attending the Treteau de Paris performance of L 'Apollon de Bellac and Orphee. Stopping at The Hun School
to pick up ten members of the supravictorious Varsity and J.V. Wrestling
teams, the French scholars plowed

the Saints landed their craft and proceeded to find a quick dinner in the
area's most American restaurants.

Ordinarily this would have been

Adventurer
Revisits
SAS Campus
On the evening of Saturday, January 5, the entire student body
was entertained by a scintillating
movie and narration by the noted authority on Africa, Quentine Keynes.
During the presentation of this film,
entitled '' Search for a Waterhole,''
Mr. Keynes kept up a lively commentary. The greater portion of the
film centered around the vast array
of wildlife and natural science beauty
of southern and central Africa.
The entire film was characterized by
excellent photography and subject
matter. Episodes such as watching
giant monitor lizards devour alligator
eggs, and actual observation of gorillas in dense jungle country high
lighted the spectacular film.
Humor also entered the film in a
sequence showing some natives attempting to smoke cigarettes with the
greatest degree of sophistication while
making grotesque faces and coughing
involuntarily.
The film ended with the successful
discovery of an uncontamiiiated waterwhole previously unvisited by the
white man.
Mr. Keynes and his very interesting, informative lectures have become
something of a tradition at St. Andrew 's during the past few years, and
The Cardinal joins the student body
in expressing the wish that he will
remain such for many years to come.
After stopping for refreshments
along the Jersey Turnpike, the bus
arrived back in Middletown in an
otherwise uninterrupted journey. At
three ten, twelve hours and ten minutes after their departure, the sleepyhungry students filed into the main
building. When the rising bell sounded at eight o 'clock, all of the scholars rolled over in their beds and
hazily made their way toward Chapel
where they ended their night and prepared to face the new and uneventful
day ahead of them.
J.K.
Bishop Mosley
Confirms Two
In SAS Chapel
On Sunday afternoon, January 20,
a confirmation service was held in the
St. Andrew's chapel. The Rt, Reverend J. Brooke Mosley, Bishop of
Delaware, officiated, and the choir
sang a special anthem for the occasion.
Two boys, William Amos and Henry
Smith, both sons of faculty members,
made up the confirmation class.
Bishop Mosley preached an interesting sermon, based on Jesus's commandment to love one another. He
pointed out that Jesus meant us to
love our fellow men neither more nor
less than we love ourselves, and that
we all love ourselves, no matter how
much we pretend not to.
All told, it was an inspiring and
successful service.

LETTERS TO
THE EDITOR
To the Editor:
I read with interest a letter which
appeared in an early issue of the
Cardinal concerning the present meager language requirements at St. Andrew's. The letter, signed by "A
Not Quite Multi-Linguist'', states
that St. Andrew's offers a copious
quantity of Math, Science and History courses at the expense of foreign
languages. As a St. Andrean and
graduate of Middlebury College,
where I majored in French, I fully
support my '' Not Quite MultiLinguist '' friend in urging a stronger
emphasis on the attainment of a foreign language proficiency by St. Andrew's graduates.
In my present position as an Army
Officer in South Vietnam, I am reminded daily of how important and
rewarding it can be to have a sound
knowledge of a foreign language.
Americans inherently have never
been a "language conscious" people, which makes an American with
a solid language capability a pleasant surprise to the rest of the world.
Lest you need any more incentive
to demand a longer, more advanced
study of a foreign language at SAS,
let me add that nothing is more calculated to impress a beautiful Vietnamese (and they are truly exotic!)
or French lass than an American who
speaks their language.
Go ahead, take at least four years
of a foreign language; the rewards
awaiting you are well worth the effort.
Sincerely,
Lt. Peter F. Spalding
SAS 1957.
Dear Editor:
I greatly enjoyed the Cardinal article concerning the football history of
the school. Certainly, everyone appreciates the amount of effort the research requires in writing such an
article. However, I am sure that a
similar article about the other sports,
especially wrestling and crew, would
be of equal interest to the student
body and the alumni who receive the
paper.
Receiving the paper gives me great
enjoyment since it enables me to remain in close contact with the activities and events which occur at St.
Andrew's school.
Continued good success in your efforts.
Sincerely,
James T. Terry II

To the Cardinal from the Pentagon,
Hdqts. USA
Sons of the East, West, and North:
I think that it is time that we
capitalize on an excellent chance to
clarify our position in the recent war
games sponsored by our southern
brothers on the recent birthday of
the late Gen. Robert E. Lee. It seems
that the southerners attribute their
victory to the fact that we were incompetent in our maneuvers, and that
furthermore our victory was inconsequential and virtually insignificant. It
suffices to say that the Northern Victory was eminent, complete, efficient,
and final. The South, thinking that
it had taken every possible precaution, retired for the afternoon. The
ever-alert North capitalized at the
recognition of this fatal mistake and
followed history in proving that the
North always wins in the end.
At this time, I would like to extend
to the South an invitation for a renewal celebration in the coming year.
I will not recognize individuals of the
northern camp since their job was
equally well done by all.
Most Respectfully,
A Realistic Leader.
From Headquarters to the Cardinal:
SONS OF THE SOUTH
I wish to commend each one of you
for the .outstanding work done by the
southern forces on the Birthday of
our great General Robert E. Lee. I
wish also to congratulate you on a
resounding victory. It would have, I
am certain, warmed the heart of the
great Virginian to have seen the stars
and bars once again flying over
northern soil. Due to the clever resourceful tactics of Gen. J. R. Ball
and his band, the flag of the Confederacy maintained its position on
the main flagpole from sunrise to sunset, with the exception of a mere onehalf hour, in which the North mustered its only threat of the day (and
a feeble one at that) to the supremacy of the South, now an undisputed fact.
My congratulations to
you all, and in particular to:
Brigadier Gen. J. R. Ball
Gen. F. A. Pringle
Gen. F. O G. McCaghren
and finally to the Northerners
for making the job so easy by their
incompetence.
Triumphantly,
Brigadier Gen. J. K. T. Varnedoe

If someone asked the average St.
Andrean if he had seen Sam Simmons
recently, the dumbfounded student
would probably answer, "I don't
know any Sam Simmons." This is always the case, for the "Simmons" is
virtually unknown to St. Andrew's,
but the "Sam"
brings another reply: "Sure, he's over at the gym."
Sam is known to the whole school
as simply—Sam. He's the man who
is always attending the white's cage
over at the gym or sweeping the basketball court, or washing off the
bright wrestling mats, or helping the
coaches in the training room.
But to others he is Sam Simmons,
26, of Clayton, Delaware. Happly
married to Josephine Simmons, n
member of St. Andrew's department
of house keeping, Sam is the father
of a 15 month old son.
Because not many students are familiar with Sam's background of his
duties, The Cardinal, wishing to eliminate some more of the wall between
students and staff, sent an enlivened
reporter to collect all the details.
Speaking to Sam one afternoon in
the cage, the reporter had to share
his time with Sam's other visitors:
a wrestler came in, complaining that
he had lost a sweat shirt in the
laundry; a basketball player complained that he had lost all his whites;
a squash player entered with sour
face stating that he had not gotten
bis whites hag hack.
But these individuals didn 't phase
Sam; he simply supplied them with
their needs and went right on talking.
Sam had been at SAS three years
February 22, and claims his job is
most satisfactory. He finds no unpleasant aspect of the school because
the boys themselves are all generally
kind and jovial.
But Sam himself is kind and jovial; he calls many boys by first
name upon greeting them.
The kind of work Sam docs behind
the scenes is interesting in itself.
Early every morning, Sam starts the
day by carrying all the whites bag%
across the way to the laundry, which,
as anyone can tell, must be quite a
job.
After this task, he sets about
washing or sweeping the floors, washing off the wrestling mats or sweeping the basketball courts daily. Twice
a week he sweeps the squash courts.
Every day he cleans the entire building.
He is generally '' in charge of the
whole gym'' but does not really like
his official title '' gymnasium attendant." The title, Sam asserts, carries too much of the idea of merely
Cliosophes
Mis-elects New
Officer
Due to recent expansion and wild
imperialistic dreams, the Cliosophical
Society has recently created a new
officership.
After packing the house and skillfully swaying the masses with his oratorical technique, Jim '' Boss'' Cooper
out-polled his formidable opponent,
Thomas Snyder, to sweep into the
Vice Presidency. Certain conservative members of the convention become irate at the irregular proceedings, complaining, among other things,
that certain electors had not fulfilled
the requirements for voting. Club advisor Mr. Hillier walked out in disgust.
Heated outbursts of fraud
continued, indeed for weeks after the
election.
Club president George Shuster, assisted by his colleague and club secretary, Roger A. Walke, have, however, successfully healed the wounds
of disseiition and have announced that
complete rehabilitation has been restored.
Jim '' Boss'' Cooper has shown that
he is worthy of the office to which
he has been declared officially elected and has gained the support of the
entire body, including the minority
faction of Snyderists.
Cooper has
suggested several reforms, to be collectively combined under the term
Cooperism, but these have not as
yet been publicly promulgated.
Meanwhile, on other fronts, former
Dark-Horse
Presidential Candidate
and Big Cog in the Cooper Machine,
Richard "Turkey" Buckaloo, has
hinted that certain constitutional reforms may be soon presented for enactment. Whether or not these measures will be enacted depends on
whether the present officers can be
assured of offices in the new administration.
Down in the lower echelons, Chip
Gordy and his cohort "Swifty"
Meredith have been employing brute
coercive force to elevate themselves
to the positions of Sergeant-at-Arms
and Assistant Sergeant-at-Arms respectively. Gordy has repeatedly denied alleged presidential ambitions,
but there are indications that Meredith may be usurping his present
leader's power anyway.
The local Dixiecrat faction, led by
Georgia Peach J. Kirk Varnedoe, made
a recent attempt to enhance their presscrubbing floors and windows.''
Sam does a great deal more than
merely scrubbing. At 2:30 p. m., he
must be back in the cage, having already sorted all the laundry whites
to their respective cage boxes. There
he awaits the school's athletes, waiting to begin the daily session of "I
lost my inner sock," etc.
That is what the school knows Sam
as; that is what we think he wants
us to know him as. Sam Simmons
is a great guy; the kind of guy the
school will always be grateful to, the
kind of guy we will always need.
tige by reviewing the archaic "Cot
ton B. King'' philosophy, but they
now seem to be angling for a coalition
with the Cooper forces, which would
result in a loss of prestige instead
of a gain.
Moderately Progressive Conservative George Shuster appears to have
ridden out the recent insurrectionist
movements with no loss of influence
in his presidential capacity, having
associated himself somewhat with the
Cooper faction but leading the old-line
Conservatives at the same time to believe that he has certain conservative leanings.
And Middle of the Road Radical
Roger A. Walke has assured the legislature that no immediate shake-up in
the secretarial office would be wise
or practical in the foreseeable future.
In order to placate the insistent
radical demands for action, the present administration has announced
plans for future policies, including excursions to ancient Delaware archeological sites in search of the Missing
Link. But the Cooper faction claims
to have discovered that the President
is It. Denials, reiterations, redenials,
and on and on have been shouted
back and forth and even yet the
sounds of discord reverberate in the
legislative halls.

Alumni Lecture
On January 7, Bruce Graham, SAS
'43, gave an entertaining and interesting lecture on architecture. Mr.
Graham introduced his lecture with a
short color film which showed examples
of modern architecture throughout
the country. He then proceeded to
discuss the vocational aspects of architecture.
Mr. Graham stressed that
although it can be a lucrative profession, it is more often not and
should be entered with a dedication
and love for its architectural application. Mr. Graham provided an interesting evening for both those mildly and those avidly interested in architecture.

Harriet Van Home, an entertainment critic for The Xew York World
Telegram and Sun, who rarely praises
anything but her own ingenuity in
downgrading everything, once made
the unsupported generalizing statement that were there not payola,
Perry Como, Bing Crosby, and Frank
Sinatra would forever share the top
slot on the hit parade. Her reason
for making such a statement was that
she can't stand the new singers and
therefore nobody else possibly could.
What kind of mind does this demented female knive-thrower have? If
Frankie makes a record for public
consumption—I 'm speaking of 45 's
now — they invariably reach the top.
I 'm no expert about payola, but I hear
tell that Sinatra's got some pretty
good connections around the country.
All his LP 's are 011 the best seller
list. I happen to like the underworld
champion of the "ring-a-ding-ding,"
but Miss Van Home's having mentioned him points out that her groundless generalization strove only to destroy so-called teen-age singing idols
fairly, truthfully, or otherwise. She
would (as no doubt Frankie would)
resent the insinuation that he imbibes
payola, yet she might go so Low
as to think how fans and performers themselves feel when they read
trash such as she had printed. And
as for Come and Crosby, if they're
happy not making records, we're happy too. They each have their own
distinct styles and the styles which
they possess, much to Miss Van
Home's disbelief, are long out-dated.
Of course there are people on the
top without any talent. Gifted songwriters must bow to a hick with an
electric guitar; good singers must sit
back and wait for breaks. Their reward will be deeply and satisfyiiigly
personal and far greater than that
of some college group who name their
loosely constructed trio after a Carribean Island and sing different words
to identical chord progressions.
Como and Crosby are great (I guess
they are) ; they 're making more money
now in television than they possibly
could making 45 's. So why shouldn 't
Harriet Van Home leave people who
have finally found a successful profession alone. When we're tired of
our singers, we will find new people
to fill our nation's spotlights. I doubt
that they will be either Perry Como
or Bing Crosby.
(My depest apologies to the World
Telegram, Miss Van Home, and King
Frank. They were simply more than
innocent bystanders who fell into my
indirect tirade against those innumerable hypocrites who tell their sons
and daughters what trash the music
of today is and proceed to dole outhundreds of millions of dollars annually for its purchase. There are
many more important things these
people could complain about that do
far more harm than does any music.)
A programming note: On Sunday,
February 24th, the Music Department
will feature an hour of music for
student consumption (five o'clock
eastern, four o'clock central time).
Selections will range from swing
"dance band" arrangements to an
original composition in the classical
vein performed by a brass quintet.
Guest appearances will be made by
the Keiiston-Deltones crew. It sounds
like it might be worthwhile. At any
rate, we know it will sound.

liberty of reviewing a feoofc recommended highly ~by the History Department, a boolc required for reading in
the informal advanced placement prof/ram in American History.
The American Political Tradition is
A sketch of the Founding Fathers,
who gloried in the novelty .of their
newly organized government, opens
the book. The principles of the aristocratic democrat, Thomas Jefferson,
are described in fluent detail.
The use of capitalism and nationalism fostered by Jackson and his
rowdies, in addition to Calhoun's opposing sectionalist philosophies, expose
the political feelings that grew up in
the ante-bellum period.
Abraham Lincoln is given such an
honest examination that his own legendary honesty is shown to have been
influenced by his opportunism.
Wendell Phillips, the wealthy Boston abolitionist, fought for northern
labor after the emancipation proclamation.
Grover Cleveland is portrayed as the
tool of the industrial barons of the
'' Gilded Age.'' William Jennings
Bryan's and Theodore Roosevelt's differing brands of progressivism are
contrasted. Wilson's theories on world
peace and their isolationist opposition
are covered in the perspective of the
Roaring Twenties. Hoover's involvement in the depression and his principles to stop it are covered with an
extensive description of Roosevelt's
two brands of "New Dealism."
There can be no doubt that Hofstadter's straightforward portrayal of
a cross section of the men who have
made and shaped the history of our
nation is a work unparallelel in modern historical writing.

On Saints
On January 22nd, Howard High
School's basketball team came down
to St. Andrew's to play in what was
expected to be the Saint's toughest
game. Howard, whose basketball team
ranks as the best in the state, outclassed the Saints, winning an 84-58
decision.
Howard jumped off to a quick lead
and maintained it throughout the first
quarter. Stan Thompson's long jump
shots and play-making, Chip Gordy's
hook shots, and Eric Middleton's rebounding kept the Saints in contention, but the Wildcats poured it on
and gained a 31-19 lead at half time.
The Saints were not able to stay
with Howard in the second half and
the score mounted until at game's end
it was 84-58. Stan Thompson was
the game's high scorer with 31 points
followed by Middleton with 15. Howard had three players who scored over
20 points.
Senior Rick Hillier sinks two in waning moments of Westtown game, as Coward and Smith stand by for possible rebound.

On the
Other Side
of the
Scoreboard
Managing at St. Andrew's is a job
which is officially rewarded by the
award of letters or numerals at Varsity and Junior Varsity levels. Unfortunately, there is often the overbearing attitude of athletes and spectators that a boy is a manager because he has found a way to escape
from compulsory participation. While
some are managers because they are
physically unfit for sports, others
have found managing their way of
making their contribution to the
athletic program.
As we all know, there is a manager
at every level of each sport. Obviously, there are varying amounts of a
manager's usefulness when the different levels are compared; yet to inter-scholastic competition, the manager is an important, integral part
of a, team. In many sports, the good
manager is as good as an assistant
coach, since he is given many daily
and pro-game responsibilities which
are necessary to the team, but which
the coach would not possibly have
time to remember. Presently, Mr.
Reyncr cites sixteen chores which arc
in the hands of the manager before
each wrestling match.

Archmere Wins
St. Paul's Beaten
On January 29, the Saints travelled
to Claymoiit to take on the annual
independent basketball champions,
Archmere. Archmere, favored by the
sports writers, found itself behind
throughout most of the first half. The
Archers started out in a full court
press, but Thompson's dribbling, Middletown 's crisp passing, and Gordy's
good shooting broke the press quickly and Archmere soon switched into a
regular zone defense.
After taking an early 9-8 lead, the
Saints kept the pressure on Archmere
until St. Andrew's led 22-17 with only three minutes to go in the first
half. Then Archmere hit a hot streak
and gained a 29-27 halftime lead.
The Saints came out for the second
half determined to overcome this good
Archmere team, but it was just not
meant to be that way. With the
score 33-30 in favor of Archmere,
Captain Stan Thompson stole the ball
and drove for the basket. After he
made the lay-up, Sta.ii was knocked
off his feet, and he re-injured his bad
knee. Playing with the bad knee,
Stan made the free throw, tying the
score. From then on, the Saints scoring attack faltered and Archmere
went on to take a 60-48 decision.
St. Andrew's showed in this game
that they do have the team that could
still win the conference. The showdown should be on Feb. 19 when
Archmere comes to St. Andrew's for
the much anticipated rematch. Thompson ended up high scorer for the
game with 24 points. Middleton had
15 for the Saints. Holmes was high
for Archmere with 16.
The SAS wrestling team extended
its winning streak this year to three
victories with a decisive 20-15 score
over St. Paul's of Baltimore.

Squash Wins Big
The following Tuesday, the S.A.S.
racquetmen journeyed to take on a
challenging Penn Charter "B" team.
For the second time in a row, the
Saints were victorious; winning six
matches and losing only one.
Capers won his match in five
games, followed by three Saint shutouts registered by Kane, Pyle, and
Mills. Snyder couldn't quite get going and lost. Then Hunt and Forbes
each came from behind to win their
matches in five games.
The S.A.S. triumph was mainly
credited to the hustle and determination of its players. This match was
the only time in which SAS has ever
beaten Penn Charter on their courts.

Fifth Form Features
Fabulous Furies and Fun
For most people, the school began
to seem altered by Friday night, February 15. There was a constant low
m u r m u r running through the dining
room, punctuated with an occasional
shout of glee.
By Saturday morning, the change
was definite. Everyone was resplend
cut in his highly polished W T eejuns,
his cleaned and pressed slacks, and
his conservative sweater. The atmosphere reeked of Old Spice, Aqua Velva, English Leather, and Brylcreem
It was a reform in a way of life.
No longer the rough assemblage of
rowdies, St. Andrew's was now a
smooth-talking organization of young
men.
The greatest change of all was in
the weather, which, for reasons known
only to Harry Parker, was suddenly
warm and mild enough to touch the
heart of the most stubborn Yankee.
(There were tears noticed in the eyes
of several boys from Charleston).
However, the first signs of a change
were noticeable to the Fifth Form
and the faculty. With one week and
two days to go before the winter
dance, a few people, mostly underformers, showed up in the upstairs
library and declared it out of bounds.
They promptly went to work, and by
the ninth, reports have it, the Fifth
Form began to drift into the routine
of working every spare moment on
the dance decorations.
Girls Arrive
Saturday itself passed quickly. The
girls arrived between 11:00 and 2:30
and many had their first introduction
to that strange rite, the SAS meal.
The athletic events started at 2:00.
The varsity wrestling team shut out
Severn 40-0, with many pins. The
result was that many people were able
to watch the entire Varsity and part
of the .TV basketball games against
Sanford. Although the Little Saints
went under, the varsity had a highly
successful day, winning 74-59.
In the final event of the day.
Squash, lost narrowly to Episcopal
Academy, 4-3. The gym was cleared
by 4:00, leaving two hours before
dinner. The Fifth Formers did show
up in the dining room at 5:00, and
began to set up some of the decorations, camouflaging them with sheets.
After a buffet supper at 6:15, the
dates went to their houses to get
ready, and the Fifth Form Avorked
in the all too short hour allotted to
decorations.
Twist Band Plays
When the receiving line formed at
8:00, the couples passed through two
thousand years of history, to step into old Rome, for a Twisting Night
with Cool Julius.
The Furies, a twist band from Bal
timorc, supplied the music, which was
received by many as the best ever
heard at St. Andrew's.
With the
faculty nestled defensively in the
main common room, the Avild St. Andreans passed the night away under
the encouraging gaze of "Cool Julius" and the admonishing stare of
"The Triumvirate".
At 12:00, the Furies said good
night, and the couples passed through
the temple doors to their houses.
Peace settled over the campus, marred only by the rumbling of tables
and the blare of several tape recorders. When the Fifth Formers went
to bed after a record breaking return to the future, the school settled
down for five hours of sleep.
At 8:00 Sunday morning when the
rising bell rang, many St. Andreans
rolled over in their beds and went
back to sleep. However, the day got
off to a good start. Nearly everyone
(if he went) was on time for breakfast.
After another hour and a half free,
Six St. Andreans
Attend Conference
At Buck Hill Falls
On the weekend of February 15-17,
six St. Andreans resisted the pleasures of the V Form Dance and went
to the Buck Hill Falls Conference.
The conferences, to which St. Andrew's has sent delegates for many
years, provided an opportunity for
Kent Hughes, Jay Kerr, Roger Walke,
Jess Gaither, Dick Crawford, and
Harry Parker to share and exchange
ideas with other students from independent schools in the Middle Atlantic States.
The conference was led by two
speakers, Dr. Theodore Mauch of
Trinity College, and Dr. John H.
McCombe of the American Bible Society, whose addresses provided material for argument in the discussion
groups which followed.
The discussion groups each consisted of eleven students and an adult
leader and observer, no two of whom
were from the same school. It was
the discussion groups that the St. Andreans found the most stimulating
part of the conference. Atheist and
believer argued over the conference
question, ' ' W h o is my God?"
On Saturday night, the St. Andrew's delegation conducted a service
identical to the services of Evening
Prayer given in their school chapel.
There was also opportunity for recreation and informal discussion at
Buck Hill. Skating, skiing, sledding,
and dancing facilities were provided
by the Inn.
Mr. Ogilby and delegation leader
Admiral Arlcigh Burke lectures to students and faculty on
"The Place of Discipline in a Free Society."
Kent Hughes had a part in planning
and executing this year's program;
delegation leader elect Harry Parker
will assist Mr. Ogilby on the Planning
Committee of 1964.
All delegates agreed that the intellectual stimulation and recreational opportunities at Buck Hill Falls
were worthwhile.
Music of Three Centuries
On Sunday, the 24th of February,
the St. Andrew's Music Department,
directed by Mr. Larry L. Walker, gave
its Annual Winter Concert to an enthusiastic audience of students, faculty, parents, and local music lovers.
The air was pregnant with expectation when the School Band began
the program with the snappy Bomhasto, by O. R. Farrar. In spite
of the complexity of the march the
Band did a superb job.

was performed by the Brass Quintet
under the direction of Mr. Walker,
with Kerr receiving the approval of
the audience.
After the intermission Mr. Walker
introduced a new and promising idea
in the Madrigal Group. This group
enthusiastically sang two compositions
of the Elizabethan era. How Merrily
We Live and Turn Amarallis to Thy

polyphonic harmony by the nine members of the group.
The Glee Club then marched onto
the stage in an "orderly" fashion
and burst forth with the familiar

punch.
After the Glee Club had inarched

Library Catalogues
Its 10,000th Book
This year there has been a great
deal said about the increasing interest taken in the library at SAS.
Certainly, there has never before been
so great a circulation as the one presently experienced daily by the library.
Last Spring the circulation record
for May Avas an all-time high of 743
books borrowed. In January of this
term, however, the unbelievably high
record of 858 books Avas recorded.
Recently, another landmark in the
history of the library Avas reached
when The Desperate Years by James
Koran, a gift from the library squad,
was the ten-thousandth book to be
added to the library since it Avas
founded twenty-five years ago. The
book is a pietoral history from the
Stock Market crash of October, 1929,
to the out-break .of World War II
in Europe in 1939. The complete and
thorough coverage of events in these
years includes the vast political, social, and economic changes which occurred during this turbulent period.
The arrival of the ten-thousandth
book, hoAvever, represents more to the
school than just another book which
arrived in the morning's mail. Ever
since the first school library became
inadequate many years ago, library
squads and librarians have looked enviously upon the day Avhen the school
would have a modern library Avith
at least ten thousand volumes.
Prior to 1956, as some of the old
guard remember, the library AAras
housed in one large room which is
now divided into Room 34 and the
uiiderform common room. The marks
office was then the librarian's office.
At that time, the English Reserve Library was located in a class room in
another part of the building. The
main book collection, though small,
was adequate for a school of one
hundred boys. HoAvever, as 1950 approached, several problems
arose
which outdated the former library and
made it thoroughly unsatisfactory.
It had become impossible for many
new books to be added to the present collection. During warm Aveather,
books could not be left in the basement without becoming mildewed or
warped.
In 1953, Avith the arrival of Mr.
Lushington, plans Avere made for a
new library to be included in the ad(continued on page 2)
On Tuesday, February 19, Admiral
Arleigli Burke, U.S.N., was present
at SA8 to lecture on the topic "The
Place of Discipline in a Free Society. ''
Mr. Moss, who introduced Admiral
Burke, gave a brief sketch of the
speaker's career as an admiral in the
Second World War and in the Korean War, as a U.N. mediator with
the Chinese Communists, and as Chief
of Naval Operations from 1955-61.
Admiral Burke held this position longer than anyone else has.
Admiral Burke spoke as a naval
officer, a man used to commanding
men.
He gave a forceful
talk
which centered on the needs of individual discipline in our country. His
main point was the importance of selfdiscipline instead of enforced discipline.
America has become great, he said,
not because her people were ordered
to be industrious, but because they
have had initiative. In just the same
way, the individual citizen must recognize his responsibility, on which the
strength of the nation depends. A
certain amount of America's strength
can and must come from the top, but
the real c-ore is to be found in the
people.
Admiral Burke stressed that in the
business world of power politics, failure is a final thing. There can be no
second chance. The only way to avoid
failure is through a concerted effort
by an informed citizenry.
If this is to be a. strong nation,
a safe nation, its people must make
a sacrifice. Admiral Burke was vehement in his affirmation that what
we need is a generation willing to
work, not for its personal comfort,

He said that Russia has just this
sort of dedicated people. We must
regain our drive and ambition to be
a great power, shake off the turgid
sloth of a complacent society or forfeit our position of leadership, a
fatal consequence.
Following the lecture itself, Admiral Burke invited questions. There
were many, varying from a query
on the Cuban situation to one about
morality—the right and wrong of foreign policy.
Throughout the lecture and question period
afterwards,
Admiral
Burke made quite clear his conviction that the leadership of our conntry lies with its people and that America's future depends solely on the
attitude of her people.

Messrs.Moss, Ogilby
And Students
To Visit Caribbean
During Spring Vacation a group of
students and faculty will visit church
schools and parish churches in two
Caribbean missionary districts of the
Episcopal Church.
If all goes as planned the group,
Mr. Ogilby, Mr. Moss, Dave Hunt,
Mike Gerzo, and Tom Snyder, will
fly from New York on March 19 to
Port au Prince, Haiti, where for six
days they will visit St. Peter's School
and see church work in the surrounding area.
The group will then fly to the Missionary District of the Dominican Republic, a companion diocese of the
Diocese of Delaware, where they will
spend an additional six days in Santo
Domingo. A visit to St. Stephen's
School will make up the greater part
of the stay.
Later this year, the travellers plan
to show slides of the trip to the
S. A. S. student body.

Department Head Mannering
As St. Andreans go about their
business daily, they seldom notice the
many brigades around the building
bearing ladders, dusters, floor polishers, and light bulbs. Bare is the
comment that the school is orderly,
tidy, and clean. Yet, to a visitor, unused to our ways and thoughts, the
school's appearance is that of immaculate, a homemaker 's delight.
The responsibility for this well done
job lays with the St. Andrew's Housekeeping Department, Avhose members
hustle and scurry from dawn to dusk
in their hours of toil. Said one employee after a day's hard work,
'' Man, my nerves are shot. Flabbity!
If you'd been making this mop go
the way I have all day long, your
nerves 'd be shot, too.''
Yet, no one really seems to know
who stands behind all this body of
hard-working men and women. He
is none other than the Mr. Clean of
SAS, Paul Mannering.
Paul, who has been at St. Andrew's
since 1927, began as a construction
worker on the then-new gymnasium.
Then, having fallen in love with the
campus life, Paul became a member
of the Housekeeping Department, of
which he rose to be the head some
years ago.
In spite of the great extent of his
present duties, which include helping
at the gym before an athletic trip or
a home game, as well as mail driver,
a job Avhich requires two journeys
daily into Middletown, Paul managed to stop for five minutes for a
brief interview (he explained that the
pony express was not due to leave for
some time.)
Paul lives in Blackbird, Delaware,
a small rural community in the vicinity of Dover where he was born
and raised. Married in 1930, Paul
has two grown sons, the younger of
which is married to Mrs. William H.
Mannering, Junior Accountant in the
SAS Business Office.
While the staff of the Housekeeping Department seems to change
yearly, Paul says that he would never
leave SAS until forced to do so.
Never, said Paul, could there be so
satisfactory a place to Avork, full of
so many friendly people.
The Cardinal congratulates Paul
Mannering on his twenty-seven years
of service to the school, and Avishes
him manv more successful vears.
fortissimo
In my first column, I gave a
newsbreak about Steven Mills' projected singing group, The Sleepwalkers. Evidently the group was just a
dream, for nothing has been heard
from them or of them since. Two
weeks ago, Steve suggested that we
do an article on another group in
which he participates (or rather he
stated that he wouldn't), but I had
already interviewed Loudie Wainwright about this combination of talents, The Highlanders. He was later
told by the group that he wasn't
their spokesman as they had led him
and the rest of the school to believe.
There is no doubt that these guys
are anxious and applied. Wainwright,
who does deserve the title of leader
and head simply because of his talent
rating in the folk singing group, is
joined by Mills and Andy Haynes on
guitars. Andy Mac Nair doubles on
banjo and guitar, and Jimmy Dick
(Harris) plucks at the bass. All five
enthusiastically bellow what was described at Shipley as '' preppy'' folk
songs. Their harmonies are devised
by Mr. Maddison, their bookings by
Mr. Gammons. In their two appearances to date, the Fifth Form and
Shipley dances, they seem to be the
most advised group '' without an advisor" that SAS has ever seen.
The group was formed by Audies
Mac Nair and Haynes, and other
fourth form stringsters joined in.
Wainwright, who was overly quick to
ask the Shipley audience to excuse
their mistakes, answers to their success by guessing that if they (the
singers) enjoy what they are doing,
then the audience will, too. Unfortunately, the reverse of this corollary
does not always hold true.
I cannot honestly say which way I
am prejudiced regarding the group
because .of my own interests, which
obviously come first. I can say, however, that my readers will be relieved to know that I rate The Highlanders five hundred per cent above
that repulsive group that advertently
all but stole The Kenston Trio's
name.
Heaven knows that my remarks
could be carried further in either direction, but an unfortunate relationship with the now defunct Father Tah
has taught me that the more a group
is discussed in a Cardinal column, the
better it gets and the longer it lasts;
therefore, amen.
Music Department notes: This
year's dance band bears a resemblance to the successful and popular
band of 1957-58. There is a sound
worthy to be heard . . . During the
recent concert, Dale Smith found
that the Trumpet Trio number left
him with a cut lip, and he managed
to handle the remainder of the concert more than professionally . . .
After the concert, Varsity Basketball
Coach Washburn went backstage to

Basketball Coach Walker, by remarking with remorseful glee: "Well, at

dition to the eastern end of the

planned to nearly double the size of
the previous library, and to incorporate the housing .of the periodicals
and English Eeserve books on its
second floor. Other improvements
were to include a greater selection
of magazines and pamphlets. Replacing the former library's virtually
non-existant exhibit space Avould be
several cases which would be used to
stimulate the school's reading interests.
When the new library was completed in 1956, Mr. Lushington felt that
the final expansion program should
begin at once and increase at a very
rapid pace. The Trustees agreed, alloting greater expenditure for this
purpose over the ensuing five year
period. During this period, reference
books were brought up to date, the
number of volumes in the library
more than doubled, and a record library was begun.
Thus, the addition of the ten
thousandth book has marked the completion of the aspirations of many
men several years ago when they planned the library. Furthermore, Librarian Richard L. Barron comments
that although much has been done
to make our library the best, there
are still many improvements which
must be made. Although the library
seems complete, the work of the librarian and his squad is never finished.
Editorial:
The Unhealthy Outlook
In the past week, I have heard two sentiments expressed, by
Dr. Walden Pell, first headmaster of the school, that the school
is the same fine school with the "same type of upstanding students", and by members of the senior class, "I'm sure glad I'm
leaving at the end of this year. The school is going to pot."
Two things are presented to be immediately dealt with;
taking both statements to be true, the faculty is failing and the
students are failing.
I shall first discuss the faculty. A varsity athlete told me
after the William Penn wrestling match (which we lost) that the
committee of admissions should not only consider students for
their grades and character but for their athletic ability. He
said St. Andrew's was not known for its admissions to Princeton, Harvard, and Yale, but for its crew and wrestling team. He
feared that soon we would have neither. The school admits the
best qualified students for the life of the school; if two applicants are "tied," the admissions committee would probably
admit the athlete rather than the '' small guy.'' But the students
are not satisfied with this: they say we should recruit athletes
so that we can show up Coach Chapman's Colonials. With regard to athletes, let us look at the wrestling particulars, We
have at St. Andrew's the best wrestling coach in the state in Mr.
Reyner. He is hired as the Athletic Director; he conducts but
one class. Our crews always rate high, and we certainly do not
lack an abundance of new crew shells. A million dollar gym
addition is near completion; new athletic fields are being added;
baseball had its biggest season since 1950 last year; Soccer is
making a name for itself throughout the state and surrounding
areas; Basketball beat its previous high-scoring record; Varsity
Tennis are co-champions in the state; youngster Squash had another winning season. This is not a bad record for a school whose
"headmaster doesn't care about athletics but is interested only
in music."
At a recent faculty meeting, Mr. Moss read an excerpt he
had received from Marshall Craig (SAS '62), stating that he
wished he had been offered not only the History of Music course
but that he wished he had participated in the musical activities.
Mr. William Johnson (SAS '52) and former member of the Modern Language Department, mourned the fact that he had dropped
music lessons simply because he thought he needed the time. As a
faculty member, he took lessons from Mr. Barron. There is talk
of a wildly wonderful Music Department, and it will grow with
the new facilities in the new gym. St. Andrew's will be able to
sport bands victorious over other prep school bands at away football games as it did this year. There is a dedication to an activity this year, and the Headmaster is pleased; but no more than
over the athletics.
The Sixth Formers say that next year, underformers will be
giving the upperformers marks; what respect we gave the upperformers when we were in the second, third, and fourth forms is
missing, they claim. Is it because the underformers comprise the
majority of the Varsity teams; that underformers are in the
greatest membership in all the activities; because the night library supervisors talk in the library and give marks to any underformer who talks; because they have "confiscated" the property
of underformers; because they trapse into study hall one morning
because they were all caught watching television the night before . . . or is it because they want to think that they have 110 respect? No other senior class has given as much support to the
V arsity teams as has the Class of '63; no other sixth form has had
five active members at the head of the Music Department in the
last seven years; never has the library been more quiet than this
year; never have so few marks been necessary in. tne job system;
never have the publications had so great a response; never have
there been so few major disciplinary offenses. I could never
and never, forever and ever; but instead shall refer the upperformers to their parents' phrase: Why can't our son be like we
were; and their parents said the same thing. There is a point
where everyone thinks he doesn't have respect, but maybe the
varsity athletes haven't seen the hero worship at games, or maybe
the editors of The Cardinal haven't noticed that the complaints
have come from an inert clique in the Fifth Form, or maybe they
just haven't stopped to think. The underformers don't realize
that the Senior Praefect is human, and in that lies the greatest
respect anyone could ask for.
Something's wrong . . . damn right. It's the Winter Term,
when one something is always wrong; Mr. Amos probably has the
best answer to the entire situation for those less ingenious people
who haven't guessed it yet.
The school is not going downhill . . . five National Merit
Finalists top academically anything I have seen in my five years
at SAS. Already college acceptances indicate that this
will be a
good year. What comes out of this Sixth Form wras not in it
when its members came five years ago in the days of gods Willie
Grubb, Chick Scheiik, Laurie Deschamps, or Mike Murray.
There are a few who are honestly glad they are leaving; those
are the guys that have sat around for five years and criticized
others. But in some others there is a love for the muddy pond,
for the simple meals with fancy names, for the speechs of frustrated lawyers, and even the sermons to the closed-eyed student
body. Only those that love the school can understand the love
(and will not always feel it though they know what it is). The
others will laugh. College will be another chance for them; but
those who do love the school won't need another chance. They
will be that much ahead of everyone else because they realize that
the school has not failed, and that we here today are ten times
luckier and better off than those who graduated in 1934.

on the Scoreboard, there was
still a great deal of anticipation that the magic number of
84 might yet be reached and
surpassed. And as the fourth
quarter progressed the new
record came closer and closer
to reality. Then, when the old
record of 84 was reached with
a minute to go and the ball
fell into the Big Red's hands,
the new record seemed inevitable. However, Tower Hill,
with a devastating full-court
press, stole the ball twice in
that minute. There were only
five seconds left as S.A.S. captain Thompson began dribbling dowiicourt. As he approached half-court he glanced
up at the clock and saw its
fateful hand about to end the
game. Without a second's hesitation, he rose up and shot
from the side of the court and
behind the half-court line. Just
as the ball left his hands the
buzzer sounded. The ball didn't
even touch the rim.
Even though Thompson provided
the team with a new record, he
fell one short of the individual
record for the second time this
season with 31.
The old game record 84 was set
under amazingly similar conditions just two years ago: a) it
was at home, b) it was against
Tower Hill, c) Thompson contributed greatly to the scoring
(28—Hillenmeyer broke the individual record in the game with
32), and d) it was the final
game of the season.

Record vs. T. H.
Friends Fall
The Saints played host to Wilmington Friends February 1st. A tight
game all the way, the lead changed
three times before SAS took it for
keeps in the third quarter and fought
to a 58-50 win.
Chip Gordy and Eric Middleton did
their usual muscle job underneath,
while Bill Hammond, Sandy Dillon,
and Curt Coward worked well outside. Middleton was high scorer for
the game with 24 points, gathering 16
from a 16 for 18 performance at the
foul line.
St. Lizie's Downed
Admidst cries of '' St. Lizie 's is
the best!" the Saints pulled out a
56 48 victory. (The Saints from St.
Andrew's, that is.) In a game marked by enthusiasm and general bad
ball-handling, the big Eed waded
through the opposition's zone, and was
able to withstand a last ditch press.
Stan Thompson was once again high
scorer with 24 points while Middleton and Gordy followed with 17 and
12 respectively. It is also noted that
Randy Dillon once again played an
outstanding defensive game, holding
Si. Elizabeth's lowendowski to two
points.
Friends' Revenge
On Tuesday, February 12, St. Andrew 's traveled to Wilmington to play
the always tough Wilmington Friends
team in a conference game. Friends,
who had previously been beaten by
St. Andrew's, Avas out to seek revenge, and revenge they got as they
beat St. Andrew's 50-55.
The Saints jumped .off to a quick
9-0 lead, but over-confidence set in,
and at the end of the first quarter,
they led 19-9. Eric Middleton sat
out most of the second quarter, and
the Saints saw their led falter. At
the half, they were down 31-22.
The third quarter was a replica of
the second, and the Saints, plagued
by bad passing and shooting, trailed
by sixteen at the quarter's end. After a good tongue lashing, the Saints
started to play. With Captain Thompson and Middleton scoring constantly, the Saints narrowed the gap to
two points, but an inopportune layup by Friends put the game out of
reach and the Saints Avent down to
defeat.
Thompson was the game's leading
scorer with 22 points on twelve free
throws and 5 field goals. Middleton
followed Avith 16.
Girls Help SAS
Whip Sanford
With the girls came the hustle, and
with the hustle came the victory.
This best sums up the dance weekend
victory over Sanford Prep. The lack
of feminine voices in the cheering
section is often offered as an excuse
by the Saints for a loss and maybe
after this tremendous conquest of
Sanford by a 75-59 tally, the rest of
the world will believe them.
The Saints, behind the rebounding
and shooting of Thompson, Middleton, and Gordy, procured their usual
first quarter lead, and along with the
first quarter lead came the second
quarter relapse. Sanford, behind Conference scoring leader Bill Reinhart,
took a. seven point lead halfway
through the second quarter, but the
Saints, with the girls' help, came back
arid took a two point lead at the half.
The second half was one .of the best
played by the Saints all year as

Visit Dominican Republic
During the spring vacation, Mr.
Moss, Mr. Ogilby, Mike Gerzo, Tom
Snyder, and Dave Hunt went on a
trip to the Caribbean.
Arriving in Port-au-Prince, Haiti,
on March 19, they were taken to the
Grand Hotel Oloffsan where they were
to spend the next six days. Bishop
Voegeli, their official host, was on
hand that evening for the welcoming ceremonies along with several
other members of the Haitian clergy
who were to act as guides during the
group's stay in Haiti. The next day
Avere spent around town where they
all went on a grand tour of the schools
and churches of the Episcopal Church.
The next two days were spent out
of the capital, going to Leogane and
Moiit-Euiz to see another school and
a, lay-reader's mission. They all had
a chance to go swimming at MontRuiz at the large beach owned by
the mission; and, as usually happens
after a winter of indoor seclusion, the
entire group was sunburned very
quickly.
Saturday was highlighted by a track
meet between several of the schools
the group had visited and a small
group of parochial schools, who proceeded to win every event but one.
Sunday, the religious group went
to the Cathedral of the Holy Trinity
for High Mass, and afterwards set
out on a pleasure trip up into the
mountains north of Port-au-Prince.
As true tourists are wont to do,
our group spent Monday shopping for
momentoes for all of their girls. A
couple of them went broke in an attempt to buy out the city's main
tourist trap, "La Belle Creole."
Monday evening found the group
in St. Domingo's new jet airport,
where they were met by Father Wheaton, acting host because of Bishop
Kellogg's absence. He was on leave
in the States for a month.
The stay in the Dominican Republic, where Mr. Moss joined the St.
Andreans, was much the same as the
six days in Haiti, even though the
Hotel Jaragua was much more up
to date. White Santo Domingo had
more of the comforts of home, it did
not have the feeling of tradition which
Avas evident in Port-au-Prince. Still,
it is a beautiful city.
After several days of city sight-
seeing, the group took an excursion
to San Pedro and San Francisco on
Thursday and Friday. They went

Back at school, the student body

S. A. S. Enjoys
Oldfields Dance
To the familiar sound of the
Charles Gresh band, a genial atmosphere heightened by that day's victorious '' clean sweep'' and the anticipation of the frolic attending the
long awaited dance, St. AndreAv's
played host to some seventy young
ladies from Oldfields School of Gleiicoe, Maryland, Saturday, April 20.
Both busses from Oldfields appeared unexpectedly on time at 6:45,
catching a number of the habitually
late St. Andreans unprepared. After
momentary confusion in finding escorts for missing creAV members, the
girls doffed their coats and ate the
buffet supper.

On Saturday, April 27, the Debate
Club entered its first interscholastie
tournament at Valley Forge Military

floor against Westtown, Franklin, and
Valley Forge.
Though the opposition had studied
the proposition for debate: '' Resolved: That the U.S. should promote
a common market in the Avestern hem
isphere" for many months, Steve and
Fred had hastily prepared a fresh,
crisp argument in four days. Because
of the lack of time to study the topic,
they had to use superior rhetorical
form alone in countering the spiels
of statistics and facts provided by
the opposition. To confuse matters
more, each entrant had to debate both
sides of the argument during the
course of the day.
Yet, by an elaborate judging system, the St. AndreAV 's team placed
third behind Archmere and GeorgetoAvii Prep. Munroe and Coleman deserA'e great credit for their efforts

As a result of the success of last
year's Florida Keys Expedition, the
St. Andrew 's Biology Department and
Mr. J. Bruce Bredin, a trustee of the
school, sponsored a second expedition during the spring vacation. Mr.
William Amos, Kent Hughes, John
Gustin, Mike Moseley, and Billy Amos
to.ok part in the trip. Originating in
Miami, Florida, on March 20, the
group went first to the Miami Seaquarium for an introduction to the
various forms of life that would be
encountered in the Keys.
After spending several hours at the
Seaquarium, the group drove to Islamorada on Upper Matecumbe Key,
the headquarters for the expedition.
Despite statements to the contrary by
Arolkswagen lover Mr. Amos and sometime grand prix driver Kent Hughes,
the rented 1963 Dodge ran perfectly
well. Arriving at the cottage late on
the evening of the twentieth, the boys
set up a simple lab in the kitchen
with aquaria and an air system to
keep specimens alive for study and
photography. The cottage itself was
on the Atlantic side of the Key, and
within easily driving distance of Key
West and the Everglades, both of
which the expedition visited.
The activities of the St. Andreans
were extremely varied, ranging from
a day spent strictly as sightseers, to
a great deal of snorkel diving and
shore collecting. The boys went diving in the morning and afternoon.
After sundown, they used a seine net
to capture animals which were active
only at night. All specimens were
rushed to the cottage where they were
kept alive in buckets and tanks. Well
over five hundred color photographs
were taken.
The diving was done in several
areas, primarily in front of the cottage and also near the Seven-Mile
Bridge. The water was reasonably
shallow, with ten feet being the deepest that the boys dived in, but even
at that depth the boys found the
abundance of life amazing. Brightly
colored reef fish, barracuda, large
lobsters, and the large, stinging sea
urchin Diadema, were only a few of
the animals seen, collected, photographed and preserved.
One of the highlights of the trip
occured on a visit to a local aquarium.

The dance was the climax of a

EDITORIAL:
The St. Andrew's student body, in its hurry from class to study hall
to meals to athletics, is seemingly unaware of one of SAS's biggest assets,
the school library. Eight before our very eyes, this organization has taken
root and doubled its size in a few short years. Today there are 10,000
volumes, a very respectable number for a school of 160 boys. Under the
direction of Mr. Barren, who took over as School Librarian this year, the
acquisition of books has reached an all-time high, promising to reach over a
thousand new books a year. Today, a best-seller can be found while it is
still a best-seller.
As important as these facts are, there is another thing for which the
library and the Library Committee should be commended. In a prepschool situation, it is very easy for a vital part of the learning process to
be ignored. We are speaking, of course, of the problem of censorship. In
many schools, it is a simple matter for any pressure group whatsoever to
have books removed from circulation because of alleged bad effects on the
students' minds. Here, however, that cannot happen. To quote a member
of the Library Committee, '' The Committee is always prepared to discuss
a book's value to the library from all the points of view from which that
book's value can be determined. A book would have to have demerits over
and above just offending someone's sensibilities in order to be removed
from the shelves. There is a constant process of weeding out books to
make room for new acquisitions, and the same criteria employed in this
process would have to be used in considering a book reported to the committee as ' objectionable'.'' This undoubtedly prevents any outside group
from agitating successfully for the removal of a book which is worthy in a
literary sense, simply because it deals with a controversial or suggestive
subject.
The School relies a great deal upon the library, both for serious and
recreational purposes. We feel that the library deserves recognition for
its work in providing the St. Andrew's reading public with a wide selection of books, and further for protecting the right of the discerning reader
to judge a book on its merits. The hidebound, narrow-minded, Mrs. Gruiidy
attitude has not, and must not influence in any way the freedom of a St.
Andrean to read good works of literature, regardless of what the subject
or the language might be.
It has been brought to the attention of this editor by one of his faithful gumshoes that our library advertises, in a prominent location, that among
their wares is to be found a book quaintly entitled The Passion Flower Hotel.
Having seen this particular book myself, this intelligence was hardly earthshaking. Coupled with this fact, however, was the information that neither
the book nor a card indicating in whose possession it might be, could be
found. This raises the question that this paper, as an honest supporter of
forthright journalism, feels compelled to ask, namely "Where is The Passion Flower Hotel?"

Yacht Club
Breezes Along
The first of several annual Yacht
Club trips took place on Sunday, April
21. Several members of the Yacht
Club journeyed to the Tred Avon
Yacht Club in Oxford, Maryland, for
the first of two races of the spring
series.
The wind blew at about 25 knots,
and the waves were huge. Even the
local Star sailors were hesitant about
sailing, but with the local Penguin
sailors, the SAS fleet took to the
water.
Promptly before the first race, Bill
Farrow and Mohrfeld capsized. After a bit of a cold swim they finally
reached shore with their boat, with
their enthusiam for racing dampened.
The first race was won by an SAS
sailor, Dan Smith, with a comfortable
lead. Maury Ellison placed sixth. In
the second race, Ellison placed third
and Smith again placed first, but this
time crowded by a local yachtsman.
Growing for Smith was Bill Hammond, while Bryan Morris crewed for
Ellison.

With the conclusion of the athletics
by 5:15, there were many informal
gatherings all around campus. But,
no such luck for the Sixth Form and
their dates—they started to work on
the dining room in preparation for the
evening. At six o 'clock, with much
of the heavy decoration in place, the
dining room Avas opened for an excellent chicken dinner, topped with ice
cream cake roll (served, of course, in
honor of Mr. Cameron).
After dinner, the dining room was
again cleared, the girls went off to
change, and the Sixth Form worked
furiously to set up the decorations.
When everyone finally returned at
8:00, they found the dining room had
disappeared and in its place was a
saloon, replete with bandstand. The
Imperials provided the music, featuring "What'd I Say". The usual
pony circles were formed near the
hitching post, and for four hours,
everyone forgot the past and thought
only of the present.
During a thirty minute intermission, SMI played host to The Highlanders and guitarist Al Crichton as
SMI led off the half-time festivities
with a Jay Kerr original, '' Girls.''
The accent was on variety-rock and
roll, pops, and folk.
When the dance finally ended, the
boys took their dates back and said
their goodnights in the hour until
'' lights out.'' Peace settled over the
campus, marred only by the rumble
of tables as Andy's Saloon was dismantled.
And now, on this Sunday morning,
we have six hours left. Until the
busses leave and the monastic stillness settles once more on the cloisters, The Cardinal wishes everyone a
happy and, we hope, a fun-filled time.
SUNDAY, MAY 12 1963
fortissimo
Ou April 13th, SMI went professional, or so it seemed, as the dulcet
tones of Chris Freinek announced
SMI Present*, a show which featured
the group's total membership in a
program of musical variety.
"SMI

Fronk Pringle. He walked into my
room as I played the tape of the
performance—it was Jay Kerr's stage
debut on sax—and remarked, "Good
rehearsal." Amidst howls from the
audience — in announcing one of the
numbers I said, "This song comes
from Hollywood and we 're sending
it back after the show — Mike Kirch berger (honorable roommate) yelled
'' Send you back.''
Dick Porter joined yours truly in

announced Andy Bingle, and Brad

and at yells of encore, we had to coyly confess that that was all he knew.
The situation has changed now, and
Terry's still on top. Chris Freinek
did more than '' pluck at the bass' in
proving that the instrument is more
than just a "bass viole" — that's
a quote I heard floating around somewhere.
At the Oldfields Dance, Loudie
Wainwright again led his Highlanders before an SEO crowd. The high
spot of the performance was an excellent solo by Wainwright.
During
Spring Vacation, The Highlanders
railed to New York, where at The
Nightingale-Bamford School (performing by special invitation) they
learned, according to Publicity Chairman Steve Mills, '' that success
doesn't always follow a performance. ''
Lee Weinstock, commenting on The
Highlanders, said quite seriously, '' It
takes a lot of courage to do what
those guys do." I smiled and said,
'' Yes, it does.'' I cannot close without saying that they have improved.
There is a current of thought (primarily in the Fourth Form) that SMI
and The Highlanders are constantly
out. to get each other. Because at St.
Andrew's School even the Coin Club
jumps if Art Class meets at an unscheduled hour or if two candidates
for the same position in a sport try

short, that all that interests most people at SAS is "kill the other guy,"
'' point out his weak spots," " compare him to a predecessor you don't

conceive what is from our (SMI's)
and I'm sure their standpoint a liveand-let-live proposition. There's no
place for competition in the art in
which both groups receive and deserve
commendation.
Early this term, The Highlanders
elected Wainwright as their leader.
In a meeting following SMI Presents,
Terry was elected Musical Director
and John Morton, Manager, of The
Student Musicians' Independent Organization.

Expedition (cont.)
After watching the performance of
the trained dolphins, it was discovered that the members of the expedition could go in swimming with the
animals. These were creatures seven
to eight feet long, weighing several
hundred pounds and possessing eightyeight extremely sharp teeth.
Nonetheless, the fearless St. Andreans entered the water with them.
The dolphins not only did not try
to harm the swimmers, they actually played with them and pulled them
the length of the pool. Boys and
dolphins frolicked for thirty minutes
before the dolphins showed signs of
becoming bored.
AH members of the expedition are
expected to write several papers detailing their work.
These reports,
combined with those of last year's
expedition, will be published in a
pamphlet later this term.
On April 29, the group presented a
slide show of the trip in the auditorium.

Another addition to the many organizations and clubs already at St.
Andrew's has recently come into active and violent existence, as one can
easily ascertain by merely listening
for the rumble of disorganized warfare and strife as it reverbrates along
the Noxonton shore. What is this
mysterious activity, and who are its
ingenious perpetrators ?
Baseball vs. Archmere
SAS travelled to Claymont to play
Archmere on the twenty-seventh of
April.
There was no score in the
first two innings, but in the third,
Archmere jumped on starter Curt
Coward for four hits and as many
runs, which proved to be the
total scoring for the day.
Bufus Barrett pitched fine relief
ball, alloAving only one hit in four
innings.
SAS, however, was once again
bothered by hit-where-they-are-itis. In
the fifth inning, with one out, the
Saints had the bases loaded. Sandy
Dillon smashed a long drive to deep
left center which was somehow
caught by the left fielder. Ashmead
Pringle, like the others in the park,
had assumed it would drop in, and
was nabbed off second to complete
the double play and end the inning.
The Saints never mustered another
rally.
The new activity is the St. Andrew's Lacrosse Club; its ingenious
perpetrators are Messrs. Big Baldwin, Meredith, Barrett, and Warren
Hoffecker. These fifth formers, displaying an unusual amount of once
dormant initiative and enthusiasm,
have organized the school's own Amateur Lacrosse Club, thus opening to S A S
the student body an invigorating, Archmere

Beyner take note!) new sport.

The Sportlight
Since it is at the same time such
an important and yet such an outof-date news item, the article on the
St. Andrew's participation in the
State Wrestling Tournament is both
short and factual, without the general eulogies of praise for the home
forces and derision for the outsiders.
As the Wilmington papers were
careful to point out, the Blue Hen
Conference dominated the event, snaring eight firsts between them. Nevertheless, the Independents also showed strength, dominating such important weight classes as 145, 154, and
180. Of the three Independent State
champions, two were St. Andreans.
Jackson Pope, S.A.S. captain-elect,
chalked up his first state championship in a thrilling final 4-2 over Newark's Blue Hen Conference champion
Folk. In doing so, Jack improved
upon his runner-up capacity in the
145-lb. class last year. What made
the victory especially impressive was
that Folk, who had tied Pope 2-2
in the dual meet season, had pinned
1962 138-lb. champion Arrington of
Tower Hill in the semi-finals.
Bill Pfeifer, S.A.S. captain, walked
with relative ease to his second consecutive 180-lb. crown. Pinning his
way into the semi-finals, Bill then
downed Blue Hen Conference champion Leonard of William Penn (whose
only dual meet season loss was also
to Pfeifer) impressively 7-0. In the
finals, against fellow Independent
Camp of A. I. DuPont, Bill won
handily 4-2 in a match in which he
was never really threatened.
(Note: the other Independent

Jtac(H(ctecrH:
Champion was Jim Hammond of A. I.

Two other St. Andreans showed impressive ability. Curt Snyder at 133Ibs. lost in the opening round to undefeated Kardash .of William Penn,
the eventual state champion, 2-1, on
riding time, then proceeded to advance
to the consolation finals in which he
took fourth.
Bill Paul at 165 Ibs. was also defeated in the first round by an undefeated wrestler and eventual state
champion from William Penn, Bartholomew. Suffering from an injured
knee he was not capable of avenging
his dual meet season loss to Bartholomew on riding time, but nevertheless
worked his way to the consolation
finals in which he lost to Brandywine 's Bailey.
The two other S.A.S. entries, 9-2-1
Warren Hoffecker at 127 Ibs. and
D.I.T. champion Steve Butter at 138Ibs. suffered early set-backs and were
unable to continue.

two third places.

J.V. Baseball Crew (cont.)
A c e s In
On April sixteenth the St. Andrew's
Junior Varsity baseball team opened
its season with a triumph over Bedding High School's junior varsity,
9-4.
The winning pitcher, Terry Wild,
pitched consistent ball with eight
strike outs until he was relieved by
Tom Lackey, who ended the game with
seven strike outs.
At the plate John "Jake" Gibbs
batted in one run with a home run
clobbered into left field. Another
four-bagger by Tom Lackey brought
in three more runs.
Coaches Timmins and Ogilby kept
the team running on Saturday, April
twentieth to clobber Dover High's
team 7-2. Again the pitching combination of Wild and Lackey led to
success. The returning veteran Max
Baldwin opened his season with two
hits out of three times at the plate.
The junior varsity's record now
stands at three wins and no losses or

the course, according to the Boiiner
opponents, but heavy rains which
ended only at the half-mile mark accounted for this.
The first boat likewise turned back
Philadelphia's finest, leaving two in
the far background and battling the
race out with a third, this time LaSalle. Again the Saints had a substantial lead going into the final
quarter, only to have it eaten aAvay
by a fast closing sprint. The first
boat was more successful, however,
in producing a sprint of its own after the preliminary threat and going
on to win by a length in 5:17.9.
On April 27 the crew kept up its
undefeated streak by traveling down
to Annapolis and overwhelming the
Navy Lightweight Plebes.
In the opener, the second boat came
from a quarter length deficit with a
quarter of a mile left to win going
away by a length.
The first boat followed suit by pulling away from an even race at the
half to win by two lengths.
Conditions on the Severn were mild
in relation to those usually experienced, but a strong headwind and a
counter-current prevented either boat
from achieving a spectacular time.

SAS Crew Opens Season With Four Quick Wins

Excellent Start
SAS Depth Proves
Decisive In Victory
For the first match of the tennis
season, the Saints journeyed to Wilmington to play Conrad High School,
their only in-state opponent.
Even without the services of their
captain and perennial No. 1 player,
Gary Fishburne, the tennis team won
quite handily taking five singles and
one doubles match to carry the day
6-3. In singles, everyone won with
the exception of Charlie Hecksher
who played the two-time state interscholastic champion, Freddy George.
In the upset match of the day, Larry Rockwell playing superbly at No.
2, beat Norm Riddell, one of the
highly rated No. 2 men in the state
in straight sets.
Having won the
match in the singles by winning five
of six, the Saints dropped No's 1 and
3 doubles to stubborn Conrad with
Rockwell and Hammond winning at
No. 2 doubles.
Win Over Wicomico
In their second match of the season, the Saints played host to Wicomico High School's tennis team
from Salisbury, Maryland, in their
first home match. The Wi-Hiers gave
St. Andrew's their second victory in
as many matches by losing 8-1.
Again, sans Fishburne, the more experienced Saints had no trouble, winning the match in singles, dropping
only the No. 1 slot, and taking all
three doubles matches. Larry Rockwell playing No. 2 for St. Andrew's,
scored another upset, coming from
behind to beat Bill Holloway, a ranking player in the Middle States in a
grueling three-set match.
Gilman Avenged
After a hard week's practice, the
Saints were ready to take on perennial tennis power Gilman School from
Baltimore in their second home match
of the season. This was a grudge
match eagerly awaited by the Saints
who had not defeated Gilman since
1957. Last year, they lost on Gilman's home courts 6-3.
Even with a very strong wind, there
was anticipation of a close match and
some good tennis by both teams. Gilrnan, very strong at the top, took the
first two singles matches, but the
Saints' unbeatable depth accounted
for the last four singles matches all
in straight sets. Gary Fishburne, playing a great match at No. 1, lost to
Ray Buck-Lew one of the top ranked
players in the Middle States.
In the doubles, Hecksher and Mills
clinched the match by winning No. 2
doubles, and in the remaining two
mtaches, the teams split, making the
final score 6-3, reversing last year's
defeat.
Subsequent Scores:

J.V. Tennis
On Saturday, April 13, the J.V.
tennis team, coached by Mr. Denny,
suffered a loss in its first match to
a younger, but more experienced
Wicomico team.
Robbie Romaine, playing at No. 1,
put up a good fight early in the
match, but finally submitted to the
overpowering style of Maryland's
number one ranking 14-and-under
player, Jack Stevenson, 6-2, 6-1.
Jon Smith also lost to a ranked
player, Bernard Jarmen, in a tight
match, 12-10, 6-4.

Fun At Hun
On April 16 the crew opened its
season spectacularly by trouncing Hun
School in both 1st and 2nd eights
on the Carnegie Lake course. Although the 2nd boat has been a consistent winner against Hun (last year
by two lengths, the first eight has
never, at least in recent years, won,
although it has come breathtakingly
close almost every time (such as last
year's three-foot loss.)
The 2nd eight started out the day
by graining a three length lead after
the first quarter and lengthened out
from there without even the benefit
of a last quarter sprint to win restfully by about five lengths, in 5:22.
The 1st boat race was more of a
contest, but the Red and Black never

Culminating a successful and productive career at St. Andrew's School,
Kirk Varandoe, the "Mght Train"
of the Class of 1963, gave the Valedictory Speech at the Twenty-Ninth

Speaking on a subject usually characterized by wordy sentimentality and
stale ideals, Kirk managed to give
a speech that caught the character

and his wife visited the School from
May 16 until the following Monday.
He was welcomed warmly by the
Headmaster, who had become acquainted with Mr. Hulbert when they
were in Scotland attending St. Andrew 's University some ten years ago.
Mr. Hulbert is the rector of the Hope
Park Church in St. Andrew's, Fife,
and Mr. Moss and his family saw him
very often while they were at the
university. Thus, when the Eeverend
Mr. Hulbert arranged an exchange
with a Presbyterian minister in Garfield, New Jerse}', Mr. Moss invited
him to S.A.S., not only to renew an
old acquaintance, but also to be the
visiting preacher, and to conduct several of our weekly chapel services.
Mr. Hulbert took the services
Thursday and Friday night and the
School was interested in the different
character of parts of the service.
Many commented that the change
in worship was so desirable as to warrant inviting several ministers to the
School in each school year. Mr. Hulbert's sermon on Sunday only served
to increase the general feeling of the
student body.
Mr. Hulbert, when interviewed, expressed his feeling that "he was most
impressed with the friendship of the
School and the educational climate'',

Today at the 30th Graduation Exercise of St. Andrew's School Senior
Praefect Philip Estabrook Tonks and
Praefect Robert Marshall Pyle wound
up sterling careers by receiving two
of the top awards the School has to
offer: Pyle wras the winner of the
Frazier Prize for Outstanding Service, and Tonks was the winner of the
St. Andrew's Cross in Memory of
Bishop Cook. Other honors bestowed
upon Tonks today included The Warwick Crew Prize and the W. Lewis
Fleming French Prize.
In a special chapel service on May
20, Mr. Moss announced the appointment of next year's Praefects. For
the post of Senior Praefect and leader of the school, Mr. Moss, with the
advice of the Fifth Form, the outgoing praefects and the faculty, selected Warren Hoffecker. Hoffecker,
who has been five times president of
his class, is certainly qualified for the
post. Warren counts among his interests golf and other sports. Here at

In Founder's Day
Service, May 13th
On Founder's Day, May 13 Mr.
Baum, English Master, spoke to the
student body in chapel about the history of St. Andrew's School as seen
by an alumnus of one of St. Andrew's
first graduating classes. Mr. Baum,
one of the earlier students at St. Andrew's School, said he was convinced that the St. Andrean of today is
very little different from his counterpart of the thirties. Mr. Baum made
numerous comparisons between the
misdeeds of his formmates and the
various offences associated with the
typical student of today. The talk
included lucid descriptions of the
black market cigarette-mongers and
illicit liquor manufacturers who
abounded on the shores of Noxontown Pond during Mr. Baum's tenure as a student. The speech was
one of the greatest influences in blowing away the apocalyptic air that surrounded St. Andrew's after a Dance
Weekend.
Praefects
Three masters will be leaving St.
Andrew's at the end of this year.
Mr. Cameron will be taking his longdeserved Sabbatical year. Mr. Denny and Mr. Timmins, both presently
members of the S. A. S. math department, are departing to head the
math departments at two private coed day schools. Mr. Denny is moving to the western wilds of Pittsburgh where he is to become Director of Mathematics of the Senior
School at Sewickley Academy. This
school is ten miles to the north of
Pittsburgh and Mr. Denny plans to
reside on a farm four miles from the
school's campus. Mr. Timmins is
going to the South where he will
teach mathematics at Hampton Eoads
Academy in Virginia. This school is
now four years old and has a student body the size of St. Andrew's.
Mr. Denny plans to institute a soccer team at Sewickley Academy and
hopes to duplicate the 25-6-2 record
that the S.A.S. soccer team has made
in the past three years. Mr. Timmins' athletic plans have not been
disclosed but doubtless the school's
teams will benefit from this addition
to its staff.
Eeplacing these two departing masters will be Mr. Pike and Mr. Grouse.
Mr. Pike is coming to S. A. S. from the
Hun School and is a graduate of Stanford. Mr. Grouse, a graduate of Albright College, is now completing
work on his Master's Degree in mathematics at the University of Dela

The Honor System
Dear Editor:
Recently there have been a growing
number of comments around S.A.S.
about spirit. These comments range
from '' There isn 't any school spirit
at all" to " There's nothing wrong
with the school spirit at St. Andrew's." School spirit is not a tangible thing. It cannot be picked up
and measured on a weight scale. For
some people, supporting the school's
athletic teams is of no concern whatsoever.
The school should not be
divided into two conflicting camps,
those who represent the school on the
athletic fields and those who do not.
The support of our athletic teams
this year has been meager, to say the
least. A team without the encouragement of the School can not have the
desire to win that a team which
feels that the school is behind it can
attain. No one desires to deify the
athlete, but the boy who gives his
time and effort deserves more support than he has received this year.
We look forward to athletic support
as impressive next year as the new
gym facilities next year.
Sincerely,
Bob Banquo.
An Honor System will not run unattended. It is not a
miraculous perpertual-motion device which purrs along quietly
with only nominal care. To maintain an effective honor code,
the constant vigilance of both student and master is required.
Furthermore, an honor code is either entirely efficient or it is a
complete sham. There is no middle ground. If an honor code
tolerates minor dishonesty, then it is as degenerate as one which
winks at major thefts or cheating.
This past year, there has been a remarkable laxness on the
part of the School as far as minor offenses are concerned. Entirely too many people regard the once sacrosanct master's desk
as a ready source of supply of pencils and stationery, and at certain parts of the year, of advance information about grades. In Reply To S.M.I.

Mrs.
duPont
A funeral service was held
for Mrs. Ann Marvil duPont,
widow of the founder ,of St. Andrew's, who died recently. The
service was held on Friday, May
10th, and was attended by members of the duPont family and
by the faculty of the school.
The School observed a period
of silence during the afternoon.
The School expresses its sympathy to the members of the duPont family in their bereavement.
Eight St. Andreans
To Study Abroad
During the coming summer, a group
of St. Andreans will venture forth
to Europe. Phil Tonks, Dexter Chapin, Al Crichton, and John Schoonover plan to make the trip.
The newly graduated St. Andreans
will, at New York, combine forces
with the Tonks' family and nine
young ladies before departing by
plane for Paris.
After arriving in France, the group
will set out in a convoy of Volkswagon mierobuses to tour the nation.
The sightseeing party will visit numerous French towns and villages before parting company. Phil Tonks
and John Schoonover intend to go on
to the University of Grenoble where
they will study for a time. Meanwhile, Al Crichton and his companion Dexter Chapin will travel through
Germany, Switzerland and other European countries by motor scooter.
The troup of St. Andrean scholars
will rendezvous in Paris where they
will board a plane for the return trip
to New York City.
At the end of the 1963 school year,
Mrs. Lillian Foley will retire as the
School Dietician, a post that she has
held since 1952. She has been connected with St. Andrew's almost
since its founding however, first as
a member of the Housekeeping Department and later in the kitchen. She
first joined the staff in 1933, and her
husband, Steve Foley, was working
here when the foundation of the old
building was laid.

Yacht Club
St. Andrew's School offers a variety of opportunities for those students interested in sailing. One may
first begin a sailing career in the
Spring Athletic Squad Sailing Program, which, under the astute guidance of Mr. Baum, has produced several avid skippers this term. These
new sailors have an excellent time on
Noxontown Pond every day. In the
keen competition which often takes
place between the yachtsmen in this
program, Stan Thompson and John
Schoonover usually triumph over the
team of Jerry Sodenberg and Dick
Shoemaker. This group merits praise
for its racing, but even more so for
its marked improvement during the
past two months.
Presiding over the activities of the
kitchen from her office in the rear,
Mrs. Foley oversees the activities of
the ten members of the kitchen staff,
and must organize the production of
up to 600-(-individual servings daily.
She plans the menu weekly and
must see to the cleanliness and
efficiency of the kitchen. In spite
of this, she has never been too busy
to spare a moment to an inquiring St.
Andrean, and (as many boys can
gratefully attest) an occasional cookie
or dish of ice cream.
Mrs. Foley was born in Northeast,
Maryland, and moved to S. A. S.,
where she lives today. Far from being a stay-at-home, however, she has
traveled to Cuba, Columbia and
Guatamala during vacations to visit
her daughter whose husband is a
Foreign Service officer.
When asked how she has liked working at S.A.S., Mrs. Foley replied, '' I
have always loved St. Andrew's with
all my heart, and I hate to leave.''
In her thirty years here, she has made
a place for herself in the heart of
the School, that will be hard to fill.
Her going will leave the School with
a profound sense of loss, but her
service will always be remembered
with gratitude.

sentiments of the School, the Cardinal wishes Mrs. Foley a happy reThe experienced sailor may find the tirement and again we thank her for

by Philip Wylie

Better Things to Come:
New Gym Progresses
Doubleday & Co., New York, 1963,
277 pp.
During the past several months,
many novels have been published .on
the subject of atomic wars because
of the popularity of Burdick 's FailSafe; Wylie's latest book concerns
the same subject. The horror of the
annihilation of half the world is
morbidly narrated.
The story centers around the only
group in the Northern Hemisphere
that survives the holocast, in a super fallout shelter designed by an
industrial tycoon who had the foresight enough to supply it for two
years instead of the two weeks recommended by the government.
There are fourteen people in the
group: Tycoon Vance Farr, his wife
and daughter; her fiance Kit Barlow
a Jewish scientist Ben Herman, a
Chinese girl, a Japanese technician,
the Farr's Negro butler Paulus Davey, and his niece Connie; finally a
power company meter reader, and
Farr's ex-mistress and her boy friend
with two children deserted by their
parents.
After a recent interview with Mr.
Thornton, it would appear that the
new gym is coming along very well.
Although Mr. Thornton said that the
gym was '' just a little behind schedule, '' everything should be back to
normal within a few weeks. The engineers who are supervising the construction feel that the old wing will
be completely remodeled to specification by the August 15 deadline. Similarly, the new wing will be finished
as planned by November 1.
The work has reportedly been going on smoothly. The school is
very happy with the entire program.
'' We are very impressed with the
amount of cooperation we have receivd. The supervision is excellent,"
said an enthusiastic Mr. Thornton.
Even the laborers appear to like the
building — many favorable comments
have been heard. Perhaps one of the
main reasons for such approval is the
compatability of the new brick with
the old stone. At any rate, all appears to be going well. Landscaping
will be begun in the fall, after most
of the heavy work is done, and St. Andrew's will eventually have a fine

Dr. Gairdner Moment,
Noted Life Scientist,
Visits St. Andrews
On Saturday, May 18, the distinguished zoologist, Dr. Gairdner B. Moment, visited St. Andrew's School to
speak with biology and zoology students. About twenty students met
with Dr. Moment for an informal talk.
Dr. Moment spoke on various topics
and offered excellent advice to several boys concerning their term projects. Numerous questions covering
such diverse fields as microtechnique,
the Portuguese Man- 'O-War, and
Lamarkianism, were discussed the
two-hour meeting.
Dr. Moment, known to some students as the author of the zoology
text used at S.A.S., is the head of the
Department of Biology at Goucher
College, Baltimore, and is the Secretary-General of the International
Congress of Zoology in Washington,
D. C. Dr. Moment is also the direc-tor of the American Institute of Biological Sciences' film studies.
The J.V. tennis team traveled to
Salisbury on Saturday, April 27, for a
return match with Wieomico 's junior
team, but had no more success than
in the first contest, losing 8-1. Jon
Smith lost at no. 1 to Mr. Reirdon's
prize protege, Jack Stevenson.
Rid Whitaker lost to Bern Jarmen
in a well-played match. Jay McNeeley lost at no. 3, and Dave Hudanish
was the only singles player to gain a
set from the Salisburians, as he dropped a close match in three sets. Harris and Hutton also lost singles
matches.
In doubles, Smith and Whitaker
lost to the Stevenson-Jarmen team,
Wainwright and Schwab dropped a
three-set match, and McNeely and
Harris recorded a sparkling triumph,
the lone SAS victory of the day.

weight room. To leave the basement,
let us look right overhead. The old
basktball court will be made into two
floors. The second floor will be a
large wrestling arena with foldout
stands. When not in use for dual
meets, the area will serve as yet another wrestling practice room.
The old varsity wrestling room will
remain much as it is now. However,
the Junior Basketball court will become a winter intramural room with
come a Winter Intramural Room with
gymnastic equipment, volleyball nets
and a backboard or two. The present
music facilities will be retained for
storage and overflow, while the Music
Department will move upstairs to a
studio with two rehearsal rooms and a
band practice room. The rifle range
and the electronics club will remain
the same as before. As a final note,
we will have a fine barber shop on the
site of the old one. This marvel modern engineering will have all the conveniences — large mirrors, good lighting, and our own Swift Sam.
Proceeding to the new wing, we will
find a huge basketball court for the
Varsity and J.V. teams. The adequate
seating will be a godsend to St. Andreans long accustomed to watching
basketball games from the crowded
balconies. A smaller area will serve
as a junior basketball court. Here,
we face an enigma. The plans call for
a roof to hide the rafters. But why
spend this extra money? Will, as is
rumored, the dances be held there?
Mr. Thornton seemed to feel that the
weekend dances would not be held
there but possibly this could be the
site of future exchange dances.
Refreshment Stand
The Lobby in the new wing will
also include a permanent trophy case
and a refreshment stand.
One thing that strikes everyone involved with the gym is its flexibility.
For instance, the visitors' locker
rooms are to be equipped with sliding
doors to allow the two rooms to be
combined into a large briefing room.
On a more morbid note, the gym is
equipped to serve as a Class A bomb
shelter. This was one of the primary
concerns of the designers, and they
did their work well. The lower basement area has no windows now—they
have all been blocked off. The walls
are eighteen or more inches thick.
There will be an emergency power
system, supplied by an underground
umbilical wire from the main generator in the garage. There will even
be shelter in the garage in which a
maintenance crew may stoy on to operate the plant. The necessary food,
mecdical supplies, and shelters will
be stock-piled at the gym. In the
event of an emergency, boys will
merely take their mattresses from the
main building to the gym to settle in
for the duration.
As a final note of human interest,
Sam will be back in the Gym next
year. The new building will of course
require additional custodial help, and
Sam will accordingly have new duties
and responsibilities.
Sidwell Friends

After a long week of practice and
preparation for their only Friday
match, the Saints felt ready to take
on SidAvell Friends, a perennial East
coast power on May 3. Remembering
last year's shameful defeat, 8-1, at
Sidwell's hands, the tennis team
wanted revenge. In perhaps the best
match played by St. Andrew's this
year, Sidwell squeaked past with a
5-4 victory by winning the first
doubles match after three long sets.

fortissimo
For the last five issues of The Cardinal, I have seated myself behind
the keyboard of an Underwood typewriter and run at the mouth; it was
easy to write because there were so
many things I could associate with
music and proceed to tear to pieces.
If anyone read the column, it was not
to see what I said about music but to
make sure that he was not mentioned,
and many a soul crumpled his Cardinal, proclaiming Communist infiltration. Today, no one need fear.
The Yearbook and the Valedictory
speech have both expressed the sentiments of the graduating students.
We give thanks, right and left, where
for years (five or less) we have been
afraid to. And so, in this final music column, I should like to cross the
barriers created by the changing
times and express thanks and credit
where it is due.
A band or choir is composed of students, some of whom have it and
some of whom, don't. Three and four
years ago, there weren't many students in either organization willing
to fully devote themselves, nor was
the membership inclusive of all those
who had enough talent to make a
truly successful organization. Today,
I have had the privilege of having
been one of Mr. Barren's students;
I share that honor with those students who have been considered the
backbone of this year's music department: Hamilton, Hughes, Hunt, Porter, Turner, and Dale Smith. The
training we got from Bix started us
off and gave Mr. Walker something
to work with. Under Mr. Walker, the
capable musicians in the school have
joined hands with the music department; next year, in the facilities requested by Mr. Barron three years
ago, the department will continue to
flourish. So for myself and for the
graduating seniors, I take this opportunity to give belated and sincere
thanks to Bix and to Sweetwater . . .
for the past, for the present, and
for the future.
With all the things my editor Kent
Hughes made me remove from my
last five columns, I could suitably
entertain for the remainder of the
newspaper, but on this joyous occasion, I shall leave the Highlanders
alone. For them I register my respect for their independent status in
a school where it is often hard to
allow an independent activity to
flourish; we 've both had our moments
of anguish.
To the remaining student body I
leave one plea: I 've always wanted
to play "Mary Had a Little Lamb"

have more courage than I had and

It seems appropriate that we should
pay tribute to the Class of 1963 as a
group with an admirable athletic
record. With the exception of Stan
Thompson, it was not a form laden
with gifted athletes.
Indeed, the
word to describe the situation is '' determination". There were many who
earned letters only in their sixth form
year, after working for three years
to get them. It is a very praiseworthy
reflection on a man's character when
he is walling to sacrifice much sweat
and perhaps a little ego playing on
lower-level teams in his fifth form
year, so that he might play on the
Varsity the next. This was the reflection which those of us below saw
and admired and for this, we whom
you leave behind pay tribute. May
your future years benefit from your
experiences here.
last issue of The Cardinal. The letter claimed that Shipley's Tough,
Talented Ten (T.T.T.) was superior
to any opposition previously mustered
on local shores, and confidently forecasted a Shipley victory. Rig Baldwin, acting secretary of the home
forces, was elated at the prospect of

On May 12th, St. Andrew's had
their last home match of the season
against Peddie. Inspired by the presence of the girls here for the weekend, the Saints pounded Peddie off
the courts, winning 8-0 with the number one doubles match called because
of darkness after split sets. In the
singles, Fishburne, Mills, Rockwell,
Hecksher, Hammond, and King swept
all of the matches. Then in the
doubles, Rockwell and Mills, King and
Hunt, C., and Hodges and Snyder all
won. The first team did not finish its
match. This finished the St. Andrew's
tennis team's dual match season with
a bang, giving them a 7-1 record for
the year. They now began practicing
in earnest for the Delaware Interscholastic championships.
