As we sit down to finish our last issue, weare filled with the mixed feelings of relief and regretone always has at the completion of a long and difficulttask. We do not contend that words of approval haveoutnumbered the smiling faces that appear every otherSaturday to point out the absent commas, misplacedlines, and significant omissions. However, the satisfactionwe have gotten from working with the <strong>Papyrus</strong>far outweighs the memories of long trips through emptycorridors when all the rest of the <strong>School</strong> has gone tobed.Over matters of policy arguments have been commonplace,but hard feelings have been nil. To thefaculty advisers, Mr. Sullivan and Mr. Chaffee, we giveour deepest thanks for the time they have spent andthe patience they have shown.When we took over the <strong>Papyrus</strong> a year ago, we werefired with great ambition; we had a lot of ideas toimprove the paper. We have made some changes (wehope for the better) and have tried in every way tolive up to the goal set for us by the '50 board - toleave the <strong>Papyrus</strong> a better paper than we found it. Wecan do nothing better than urge the same ideal on the''52 board.<strong>The</strong> Papyrtfs} we feel, is the most important extracurricularactivity in the <strong>School</strong> ~ it has great value tothose who work on it as well as to the students, parents,and alumni. As in all things, there is plenty ofroom for improvement. We feel confident that the '52board can do much toward bettering the <strong>Papyrus</strong>. Wewish them all the luck in the world. If they derive asmuch enjoyment from the task that lies ahead of themas we have, they will, a year from today, feel richlyrewarded for their efforts.Adult EducationFor years, <strong>The</strong> <strong>Taft</strong> <strong>School</strong> has been teaching youthsfrom all over the country; last year it extended its educationalprogram to include, during the fall and winterterms, adults f rom Watertown and the surroundingtvwns. <strong>Taft</strong> is not the only school, nor was it the first,to originate an Adult Education program, but the programis unique in one respect: <strong>Taft</strong> is the only schoolco-operating completely with the local school authoritieson such a nroicct. <strong>The</strong> result of this coordination.' ~ ~" ~ 1 • I • . ~. r ~ , ..

History, Music, Poetry - even a course in PhysicalEducation-are among those offered by <strong>Taft</strong> as its sharein the program. A music lover may attend the coursegiven by Mr. and Mrs. Morgan, who play, sing, anddiscuss classical and semi-classical works. A Watertownbusinessman whose desk job has crept up on himmay go to Mr. Lakovitch's "Games" course, doingcalisthenics and playing basketball to put him in finephysical shape. We have not the space to go into furtherdetails, but let it suffice to say that more and moreadults are joining the courses; and there has yet to comeone who complains about them in any way.To all those who have given the courses; to thosewho labored to set up the mechanics of the program gothe appreciation of those benefiting.

Why is it such a credit?<strong>Taft</strong> went up to Gunnery to face a team that had previouslybeaten them 58 to 55, and to face a team thatwas fighting for its chance at the league title. AllCoach Logan's boys were equipped with was a will towin, and the only benefit they were looking for was achance to improve on their 10 and 5 record. <strong>The</strong> gamewas close, well played, and hard fought. Going intothe final two minutes, <strong>Taft</strong> was behind by ten points;going into the final sixty seconds they were behind byfive markers; and at thirty seconds before the final whistle,<strong>Taft</strong> again looked at the scoreboard and foundthemselves with a one point advantage. Gunnery tookthe ball out, came down court, and scored. <strong>Taft</strong> camedown court; Pete Ryan's layup was blocked; the whistleblew; and it was all over.Two days before, however, had seen the same <strong>Taft</strong>team, with a little more than Lady Luck on its side,knock off the Lakeville aggregation. It's always nice toset Hotchkiss back, but this time it was doubly nice sincethey had previously handed us our initial defeat of theseason. This second' Hotchkiss game was another reasonwhy the season was a success.And so the hardwoods were abandoned for anotherseason by another <strong>Taft</strong> team. <strong>The</strong>ir record was ten winsand six losses, which is nothing outstanding, but it stillbetter than that of any <strong>Taft</strong> quintet in the last fouryears. It was a team that was led by two leaders as trueas one could hope to find in any club. <strong>The</strong>ir abilitywas equal as .is shown by the nearly equal number ofpoints scored by each for their season's totals. (214 forPulis and 211 for Ryan). Certainly it can be seen thatCo-Captains Bud Pulis and Pete Ryan held their teamtogether throughout the season, and by setting an examplewith their spirit and hard play, acquired the admirationof their teammates.Probably the greatest asset to the season, however,was the sincere interest shown by Mr. Logan in histeam. <strong>The</strong> squad has felt his influence throughout theentire season and has known that any win or loss hasbeen felt by no one more strongly than by him. Mr.Logan has a team to be proud of, and the team has acoach to be equally proud of.Hard Work Always Yields One Reward<strong>The</strong> 1951 wrestling season wound up as the YaleFrosh set back Coach Carroll's boys by a 19 to 11score, giving the team a season of four losses andtwo wins.<strong>The</strong> best individual performance of the year wasturned in by Bo Siedenburg, the 130 pounder, whofinished up the season with a record of five wins, two ofwhich were pins, and only one loss-a decision at WestPoint. Tom Chrystie was also outstanding in the 167pound class, where he remained undefeated in prepschool competition this season with three wins and a tie.Other noteworthy records were turned in by CaptainGridley at 147 with three wins and three loses; GordySchmidt with three wins, a tie, and a loss; and WarrenBrown, the little Middler, who pinned his men atChoate and Wooster in the 115 pound class, and thendecisioned the Yale 121 pounder when Schmidt, the<strong>Taft</strong> regular, was taken sick.<strong>The</strong> spirit of the 1951 team was the best it has beenin many years. As a group, they worked long and hardand found all the profits three weeks ago in the formof 18 to 13 score chalked on the scoreboard over atKent. Those eighteen points were the team's reward.Good Season For <strong>The</strong> PuckstersAs we look back on the overall picture of the hockeyseason, we see, through the haze of an overwhelmingdefeat by Hamden High, that the artificial rink was apotent weapon in the hands of this 1951 squad. <strong>The</strong>statistics show that this was one of the best hockey seasons<strong>Taft</strong> has had since the beginning of World War II.<strong>The</strong> team has had a full schedule, the largest in manyyears, and partly because of that fact has developed intoone of the most poised teams <strong>Taft</strong> has put on the ice forsome time. Thus the good record was a deserved oneand not the result of poor competition. On the contrary,<strong>Taft</strong> tackled some of its stiffest competition thisyeat. New :;(hooh had to be added to iill the enlargedschedule, and these were chosen from strong leagues.Nevertheless, after the last game the team had realized atie for second place in the Housatonic Valley Leagueand had suffered only two losses to prep school teams,both of these at the beginning of the schedule.<strong>The</strong> end of the season, naturally, saw the Seniorson the team playing for the last time on <strong>Taft</strong> ice. <strong>The</strong>team will definitely feel their loss next year. CaptainHeminway had given the squad the spirit to win evenwhen the cause looked hopeless--often scoring the crucialgoals himself. That Spike should stand out as aspirited leader is a special tribute, because the wholesquad has been one of the most spirited teams <strong>Taft</strong> hashad in any sport. However, Captain Heminway wasn'tthe only excellent player on the first line. He wasflanked by John Denny and Carl Littell, both of whommade the first line operate as a well-trained, well-coordinatedunit. Of these two John Denny is also a. Senior. Buckingham of the excellent defense-duet,Bucking?am and W ~yerhaeuser, ~ill also be absent nextyear. FInally, Goalte Mathews IS another member ofthe first team who will not return. His net-tending willbe missed, though Pape will fill in most ably.
