Dbcrc noNA lthough it may have been the an­

cient Greeks w ho advocated "a sound

mind in a sound body", Mr. Monte,

an erudite Latin scholar, is a fine ex­

ample o f this persuasion. Not only is he

our expert on Caesar, Cicero, et. al., but

he is a librarian par excellence and

coach o f Dwight's tennis team. For the

excellent example he sets his students,

w e fond ly dedicate the 1966 Scroll to

Mr. Louis Monte.

TREREFORE

UNTO

TUBIUINGC

WNICNARB

We extend our congratulations to the Class o f 1966 and hope that your success in pass­

ing this milestone is on ly the beginning leading to fu ture successes.

As members o f the Class o f 1970 in your various colleges, you w il l be called upon to

utilize the talents and skills that you have developed to date. If you all continue the good

work that you have accomplished so far, I am confident that you w il l be able to take your

place as leaders.

If your country and its freedoms are to survive, your class w il l be called upon to face

greater challenges than any past generation. The preservation o f the American W ay o f

Life w il l soon be in your capable hands. If we, at D w ight School, have had a small part in

helping to prepare you, we w ill have fu lfilled our role.

If our Glee Club sound like angels, that's be­

cause o f their seraphic leader. Musical Mrs.

Post also instills in our freshmen a deep ap­

preciation o f the English language and finds

occasional moments to function as registrar

. . . M/ss Harms is able to spot trouble at 50

paces and is w illing to give any student a piece

instance, changing locks on his locker. She very

ably functions as our headmaster's good right

Versatile is the w ord fo r our guardian, guidance counselor,

and teacher o f English, Russian, and psychology. . .Says

he, " I'm not out to w in any popularity contests!" . . . Most

o f us th ink Mr. Asch's bark is worse than his bite . . . Mr.

Flaxman is a teacher w ho knows w hat he's talking about

and doesn't hesitate to do so . . . Equally proficient at ex­

pounding on Spanish, the federal constitution, or a Shake­

spearean drama, he listens to any student's ideas, reserving

the right to correct an erroneous belief.

James Scully

N\r. Scully is a teacher whose interests are

not limited to French and Spanish, which

are his forte . . . His head is an ambulatory

encyclopedia, and he has decided opinions

on a good many topics . . . Both librarian

and classics whiz, Mr. Monte looks like one

o f the boys — but don 't let that fool you!

He knows how to make us tow the line.

Also coaches tennis.

Fearless sponsor o f the Chess Club, A/lr. Curry leads his stu­

dents to victory in chess tournaments among themselves.

Able-minded math teacher, his classes run the gamut from

grades 9 to 12 . . . Mr. Hurry is our mild-mannered math

teacher w ho can solve problems in his head that make stu­

dents go batty try ing to do them on paper. Anyone w ho runs

into trouble and thinks he is lost in a deep, dark, mysterious

w orld o f numbers is soon set straight by Mr. H. . . . Though

his is a very common name in phone books, when you talk

w ith Mr. Jones, you discover that he is no ordinary person

but a very knowledgable mathematician. His clipped British

speech and droll humor keep his classes on the ball.

Himself a student o f law, A/lr. Himmelein is

adept at unraveling the nnysteries o f chemistry

and physics to unknow ing students. To other

very select scientists he offers a high level

course called Pre-Engineering . . . General

science, earth science, and biology (both reg­

ular and advanced) are Mr. Maloney's sphere,

not to fo rge t that other sphere — the basketball

— which, as anyone can tell you, he so com­

Small In size; big in value to Dwight

support to a great many school activities.

Under the guidance of Mr. Orgel, they are

creating an excellent beginning for the

Class of 1969.

Mr. Monte should be especially proud of the sophomore class. They are

known for their deep thinkers, any one of whom will no doubt instill his

ideas in Dwight's student government when in an authoritative position.

The sophomores seem eager to assume leadership, and many appear

eminently qualified to do so.A. Dresner

A.A.P.S. TOURNAMENT W ON BY DWIGHT

Have you ever watched poetry in motion? You have if you

have v^itnessed our Dwight basketball team breeze through an­

other season, topped off with a spectacular victory at Madison

Square Garden to finish the season with a 15-5 record.

This season is just another instance of the great effort the

Dwight squad puts into every season of play. But then it was

different, too, for it was the team's first season under the coach­

ing of Mr. Don Maloney, abetted by Mr. Henry Cadra.

It is unfortunate that there can't be an all-star center such as

Mars Evans with the team every year, but family tradition has

supplied Dwight with Mars' younger brother, Robert, a promising

up-and-coming player.

W orthy of special praise are other members of the squad who

have backed up Mars to provide the needed power. They include

M ike Higgins, a consistent scorer and quick on defence; Ken Gathy

smallest man on the team but equally efficient as a starter; Artie

Wiggins, with deadly accuracy from outside and murder under

the boards. Andy Stephenson and Bob Cosgrove offered consistent

playing, too, when called upon to do so.

Mr. Don Maloney

W e were fortunate to have returning to Dwight's baseball team

this year many of last year's players plus a fe w new prospects

coming from the ranks of the minor leagues—that is to say, under­

classmen.

This year's team was sparked by the play of such veterans as

Ralph Meola, John Tosto, Jack Stanton, Gary Goldberg, Glenn

DiFilippi, and others.

The team's new coach, Mr. Maloney, and assistant coach, Mr.

Cadra, were hopeful of capturing the A.A.P.S. title which Dwight

has been unable to do in past seasons.

dent activities, and a run-down on sports. W e think it has succeeded notably, thanks to the high

standards set by Editor Steve Handshaw and the untiring counsel of Mr. Erwin Flaxman.

Both in its serious and worthwhile editorials and in its relaxed and tongue-in-cheek commen­

taries on the “scene", the 1965-66 Word has set a precedent future staffs will be hard put to

equal.

Though missing from our group picture. Editor Robert Borger is very much present in this

1966 Dwight Scroll. It has been his purpose as well as that of the staff and Mr. Irving Asch, ad­

viser, to make this yearbook new, vital, different, and worth keeping through the years.

If this yearbook provides for each of you at some future date a source of fond memories of

the year 1965-66 and a basis for happy reminiscence, then it will have achieved its avowed goal.

This year was a year of firsts for this school annual. It marks the first time, for instance, post­

graduate students have served (and admirably so) on the staff; it is the first time in many long

years that a Scroll w ithout a definite theme has been published. W e acknowledge gratefully the

contributions made by all who gave generously of their time to make this Scro//a reality.

This year the Library was the busiest place in school. To assist our librarian, M r.

Louis Monte, a hard-working staff of student librarians watched over the books,

kept the card catalogue current, maintained the periodical racks, and did yeoman

service in order to be helpful to all Dwight students who patronize our library,

and that means virtually all students.

This year also saw a record set for circulation of our over 5 ,000 books,

twenty periodicals, and three newspapers.

The Student Council is one of the few Dwight activities solely

managed by students. Its nnembers represent the various classes

in trying to innplement the actual wishes of the students. Ralph

Meola has served well in his position of president, the only such

officer elected in a school-wide election after a vigorous campaign.

Aiding in Ralph's term of office w ere Paul Nicholas, vice-presi­

dent; Alton Amsterdam, secretary; and Eugene Oliver, sergeant-

at-arms. All members kept the Council aware of popular opinions.

The volleyball and basketball intramurals and the successful

discotheque dance were two projects that did much to elevate

school spirit.

The Chess Club was an addition this year to the list of Dwight School activities.

Most of its members will tell you that Chess helps to stimulate logical thinking. Mr.

Gregory Curry, the club adviser, arranged a series of tournaments for the players.

Alan Granby, president, and Alexis Droutzkoy, vice-president, w ere among the

better players in the Chess Club. Joel Haimes appeared, among the younger mem­

bers, to be one of the more promising for future tournament play.

And for many members the club provided experience in a game they might

hot otherwise have encountered.

Bridge, anyone? With one exception, none of the mennbers of the Bridge Club

had played the ganne before September, when the club was introduced under the

aegis of Mr. Otis Hurry, it is a testament to his expertise that most of the boys have

learned in that short time to play a creditable game of bridge.

Second semester, when class scheduling precluded Mr. Hurry's remaining as

their mentor, Mr. Asch took over and almost any fifth period in lA two noisy but

clear-thinking tables of bridge could be witnessed. Among the club's stalwarts w ere

Hubert Mazzacca, Bruce Halom, and Peter Selten, and occasionally an outside

challenger such as Bill Lynch, Gene Oliver, or Tom Eagan w ent down in gl<5rious

defeat to the "unbeatable" combination of Halom-Mazzacca!

Over the years the Debate Club has given experience in public speaking, argu­

mentation, and related fields. This year has been no exception.

Under the direction of M r Charles Orgel, the Debate Club has analyzed tv o prob­

lems this year: American Involvement in Viet Nam and Labor M anagem ent and

Relations. Many of the lads have became experts on these two subjects during the

course of the year. Although inter-school debates were not scheduled this year, in

inter-club contests Robert Borger and George Fligr w ere tops. Next year's hopes in

renewed debates against other schools rest with Alton Amsterdam and Steve Pas­

vankias.

and out. One of the members, James Siket, is responsible for all

of the non-professional photography in this edition of the Scroll.

M any pictures, candid as well as posed, w ere taken all over

the school, these pictures provide their takers with a graphic rec­

enable the boys to sing before an

audience, says that there are a

Meeting every Tuesday for short discussions on different ques­

tions stemming from Dwight School's honor code, the Honor Com­

mittee felt it fortunate that this year they did not have to place

on trial any violators of the code, for no derelictions of the Honor

system occurred.

M r. Theodore Jones, adviser to the group, and Louis Caraballo,

its honorable president, said they thought it a tribute to the student

body at Dwight this year that no cases of honor code violation had

to be brought to the committee's attention.
