ANOTHER GREAT BOOK

W e of the staff of the 1963 Scroll had more than one rea­

son for selecting “Great Books” as our theme. In the first place,

we have had handed down to us by the staffs of preceding Scrolls

a tradition of producing “great” yearbooks. Our sole desire is that

our efforts have in some way enabled us to live up to the achieve­

ments of our predecessors.

Another factor in our selecting the unifying concept of the

“Great Books” is the more patent reason that nothing could be

more closely identified with education generally and with Dwight

School specifically than masterpieces of the writer’s craft — whether

they be classics of the remote past or the stimulating, estimable

written work of distinguished contemporaries. W ithout books, learn­

ing would be a difficult and unexciting process, perhaps even im­

possible, for as the English poet, Leigh H unt, put it:

“It is books that teach us to refine our

pleasures when we are young and to

recall them with satisfaction when we

are old.”

W ith humility, therefore, we submit to the expert scrutiny of

the faculty and our classmates, this Dwight Scroll for 1963, tacitly

hoping that they will adjudge it

A N O T H E R GREAT BOOK!

DEDICATIONIt is our considered judgment that our dedicatee, Mr. Mitchell

Leaska, and our theme, “Great Books”, were made for each other. Surely no one we know of shows greater enthusiasm for the literary product of fine writers than does Mr. Leaska. But that’s only half the story. In his own right Mr. Leaska is a writer of no mean attainment. A work of his is soon to grace the publication list of a leading publisher. W e can do no less than predict it will find its way into the Great Books selections of the more discriminating readers.

As a teacher of biology and earth science, he has invoked in us a fascination for the mysteries of living organisms and of the earthly environment to which they are native. As a teacher of English, he has generously shared with us his verve for the reading of good literature and for the communication of our ideas accurately and effectively.

Because of his varied interests and multiple talents, we think Mr. Leaska’s middle name should be Versatile. But we know that his middle initial is A, and that is the mark he earns in our grade book: A for Able, Affable, Active, Articulate, Alert, Astute.

“ADMIRAL OF THE OCEAN SEA”

T he Class of 1963 at Dwight will become the Class of 1967

at many and varied colleges and universities. Your classes at

Dwight should, in large measure, prepare you for college classes

at the college of your choice. If your dedication contains the extra

push to accommodate the increased difficulty of the next four

years, your future is certain of success.

Our best wishes go with you in your new endeavors.

FOURTEEN GREAT COMEDIES

Page 12: Dwight 1963

Advise and Consent

IR V IN G S. ASCHThose of us who have had a longer

exposure to the tirades of our astute teach­er of Enghsh and Russian, who is also our Counselor, know that his bark is much worse than his bite. In fact, some of us have wondered: are those 3 o’clock de­tentions punishment for us or Mr. Asch?

And how, will we foreet the threat of mass failure he once made which he was at heart really too compassionate and un ­derstanding to carry out?

How to Read a Book

RIC H A R D W . B E G U N There is one thing we know for sure

about Mr. Beglin’s English classes. They were never dull. T he main reason for this, of course, is that this young and interesting teacher had a knowledge of and zeal for literature that rubbed off on many of us. His classes are living proof that difficult material need not be dull.

Freshmen, too, this year benefited from his fresh approach to geography studies.

Magnificent YankeeH EN RY L. C R EH A N

For a young-at-heart person who claims to have assisted Betsy Ross in the making of the original American flag, Mr. Cre- han (whose Harvard baccalaureate en­titles him to the title of “Doc”, so he argues) led us teen-agers a merry chase during many a fire drill. N ot to mention his virtuosity at the piano as accompanist to our lusty singing of the national an­them at assemblies' W e wonder, though, if he really always believed the excuses we offered for tardiness.

The Secret Sharer

GREGORY T. CURRY O ur erudite and precise dispenser of

mathematical knowledj^e is Mr. Curry. W e are obliged to use logic in his classes and are often awe-struck at our ability to solve seemingly impossible problems by means of accurate thinking processes many of us were not aware before we even pos­sessed.

In the same way that Mr. Curry re­spects clear thinking and impeccable presentation of our work, so do we respect him for his flawless pedagogical tech­niques.

Native Son PatienceO TIS B. HU RRY

T he pride of Garden City and of Dwight School is our genial and patient Mr. Hurry. His mathematical interests run the gamut from simple arithmetical thought problems to such advanced topics as analytic geometry, calculus, and modern math. M any of us would have found the math road rough going were it not for his unstinting help in his advanced math help class.

T he new M ath 12 course offered this year has prepared us non-engineering minded for some of the rigors we have yet to face.

T H E O D O R E A. JON ES How could anyone have anything but

the deepest respect and affection for this enthusiastic and delightful bundle from Britain, Mr. Jones. This year all five classes from freshmen to P.G.’s had the benefit of studying math from the gentle­man with the direct approach and the crisp sense of humor.

As chairman of the Faculty Committee on Student Discipline he won the plaudits of his colleagues on the committee as well as from its “victims” for his fair­ness.

Fashions for Men

M IT C H E L L A. LEASKA O ur dedication has aheady made note of Mr.

Leaska’s versatiHty and many-faceted talents. But we should be much remiss in presenting the com­plete picture of our esteemed biology and English master were we to neglect to underline his reputa­tion as a model of fashion. J. Press, talce note!

His advanced biology class was a pioneer in its field and we are grateful for the chance of having studied it with him.

As you Like It

LO U IS A. M O N T E Although he may look as if he might be

a student at Dwight instead of its authority on Latin classicism and our librarian, we who have garnered the gems of wisdom he tossed out to us can certify that he is an exceptionally well-endowed teacher.

W hat is more, he is a papa of not-too- long standing. Semper dux!

Man and Superman

M IC H A EL R. M U Z IO An outstanding athlete himself when he at­

tended N ew York University, Mr. Muzio has been our physical education teacher and coach of basketball and baseball for four years. H e is known for producing winning teams and for developing untried but potentially good players to their fullest.

Besides that, he taught science, lectured on health, and advised the Class of 1963.

The Miracle Worker

i

CHARLES W . M YRON Those who really want to learn physics or chem­

istry know there isn’t a better place for doing it than the classroom and labs of Mr. Myron. Besides, it is the only place where one can master these difficult sci­ences while also part of a captive audience for political asides somewhat conservative in tone. But we all honoUr and favoUr “Charlie” and appreciate his sense of humoUr.

My Several Worlds

N IS A. PE T ER SE N Somehow the past comes alive and the

present is more understandable in the live­ly and challenging history and economics classes of Mr. Petersen. H e gives us credit for having intelligence and when occasion­ally one of us lets him down, it is with genuine remorse. His commentaries are learned but never pedantic, spiced but never malapropos. U nder his guidance the honor committee and debating flourished at Dwight this year.

Another Language

JAM ES F. SCULLYDwight has never conducted popular­

ity polls among its faculty, and we cer­tainly do not intend to break tradition. But we feel justified in saying that no member of our truly top-notch faculty could be more admired, accepted, and warmly applauded than this master of many foreign tongues, Mr. Scully.

N ot only did he teach French, Span­ish, and German this year, but he found time to give generously of his help to those who needed that extra lift.

It Can t Happen Here

H E L E N E. HARM S Need a transportation card? W anna

buy a book, a pencil, or a theme pad? Bring a check in to pay your bill? Owe a fine? Or perhaps just need a sympathetic ear or a friendly shoulder to cry on? Step right this way, folks. Miss Harms is our omnipresent ad­jutant. In charge of financial records and official correspondence, she is non­pareil. As a detector of too-tight or too-short pants, she has her own special radar. Undoubtedly her mid­dle initial stands for Efficiency!

Dearly Beloved

DORIS B. PO ST W e could sing the praises of our

refined registrar, our energetic Eng­lish teacher, and our melodious music marm, but her Glee Club does a much better job of it. For a petite young emigre from Granite, Okla­homa, Mrs. Post handles her gargant­uan job of keeping attendance records and completing transcripts with ad­mirable aplomb. She even planned our first Christmas-Chanukah assemb­ly and taught the boys the Hebrew lyrics of “Eli, Eli” phonetically!

Pete’s college preference is Worcester Poly; all v\'e can say is they will really have a good all-round student in him. Draft­ing was his favorite school sub­ject and his pastime. He came to us as a P. G. from Newtown High and made brilliant grades here, and he was the best darn student in the Russian class.

years ago, Rod was on both the volleyball and rifle teams. He has a number of admirable quali­ties, but his teachers agree that punctuality is not one of these. Although he claims to have liked his various courses equally, he probably leans slightly toward math. In college it will be Lib­eral Arts for Rod.

Following in the footsteps of the student governing bodies that preceded them, this year’s Council tried to maintain order in the Chaos that sometimes descends on 2B during lunch; issued citations for violations of Dwight’s standards of proper dress; planned some very worthwhile assemblies. U nder the firm hand of James Brettholz, president, the group met weekly during lunch to discuss measures for doing its share in Dwight’s program of continual improvement. They also continued the Oratorical Contest which was initiated by the Student Council of the previous year.

T he enforcing of Dwight’s code of ethics and the accentuation of stu­dent pride were among the things the Honor Committee stood for in 1963.

Mr. Petersen guided this youthful coterie of judges so that by June each member felt a sense of accomplishment and earned the compliment of “a job well done”.

W hat can we say about ourselves? W e really worked hard (some of us), gave Editor George Moss and Adviser Mr. Asch lots of headaches (most of us), and this is what we came up with. Impartial observers have told us that the book lives up to the achievements of past Scrolls and also presents what it has to say in a fresh and original manner. If it provides each and every one of its readers with some pleasant moments in recapturing the past we are satisfied that as a book of fond memories it has served its purpose.

One final thought, however: with Moss, Kurzweil, and Schaller graduating, what ever will become of eighth period elementary jotto?

Each year Mrs. Post willingly accepts the responsibility of teaching the fine art of singing to a new group of students, many of whom never sang before in a group. Each succeeding year members of the Glee C lub have built their own record of accomplishment at Dwight, and this year’s group is no exception. Through hard work and endless practice, this year’s talented 24 made excellent progress. T he Glee Club is a major extracurricular activity at Dwight, and this year they added much to our assembly programs as well as to Commencement. W e feel sure that the songsters, under the loving care of Mrs. Post, had as much fun in their singing as they provided delight to their audiences.

LIBRARY C O M M IT T E E

Keeping track of Dwight’s forty-five-plus magazine subscriptions, filing books, and inducing circulation was the job of Dwight’s librarian, Mr. Louis Monte, and his six assistant librarians. T he library has over three thousand books in circulation and numerous reference books. After and before the school day began, Messrs. Collopy, Selak, Fleischer, Saxon, Mihaley, and Malpelli were known to have been reorganizing the library and adjusting several of its departments. Our thanks go to the librarians and to the other bibliophiles who helped raise Dwight’s literary standards and broaden its horizons.

CLASS PROPHECY

I hate Coney Island, but once a year or so I take the kids so that they can get their fill. T he D train ride was the bumpiest ever, thanks to engineer GEORG E SELAK. I was particularly touched when that ragged panhandler, W ILLIA M SCHAFFEL, offered his cup for a handout. I averted my gaze, but I noticed that millionaire playboy, FRED FIELD, dropped a shiny new L IN SSE N penny in his cup.

W hat is Coney Island without a N athan’s frankfurter, except that now they’re not called N athan’s but ZU C K ER M A N ’s. As we munched our tasty dogs smeared with BARBERA mustard, I saw poor pickpocket, JO H N DI STEFA N O being nabbed by the strong arm of the law, BILL N O V O TN Y .

On the way to Steeplechase Park, we passed a fortune-telling booth, where Swami STE V EN C O H E N claimed he could predict the future from one’s hand­writing and only for a dollar bill (now, of course, bearing the likeness of ex-Presi- dent SAM T E IT E L B A U M .) At the auction house, spieler T E D C O H E N was trying to sell dollar watches for fifteen dollars each. JEFFREY D E G E N bought up the entire supply to re-sell at his stand for $19.75. A fat woman on the beach tried to persuade her husband to stick his toe in the water, but hubby W AY NE LEV ITZ absolutely refused. Then the wind wafted a piece of waste paper into my face; it turned out to be an application to the Coney Island branch of KU RZW EIL Tech from M A T T T R IC A R IC O who, at 45, was still trying to get into college.

At Steeplechase Park, I handed the ticket-taker, JAMES CA ULFIELD, a five dollar bill for two one dollar tickets. By counting on his fingers (a trick he learned in Academy M ath back at Dw ight) he was able to give me my correct change of one dollar. “C ’mon inside, folks!” shouted barker ED B O H N E, and we went inside. Two of the dummy horses scooted past us, out of control, much to the embarrassment of ride operator RAYM OND BIETRY.

As we entered the Fun House (replete with large images of Boris Karloff’s successor, JO H N REDDY ), I hoped that my little boy. Dene, Jr., wouldn’t notice the four drunks, refugees from a Dwight Alumni Convention: GREGORY JO H N ­SO N , T O N Y SU LLIVAN , BRUCE W ILLIA M S, and E A M O N N COLLOPY, who had taken over the park for the day. Of course, my boy got sick after looking at the REDDY likeness, and I had to rush him to the restroom, where (for his courtesy) I tipped attendant JIM B R ETTH O LZ a dime.

On our long ride back to our home in the GEORG E M OSS development, a remarkable thought occurred to me: what ever happened to Baby STEVE CHAFETZ?

BASKETBALL TEA M

As the Spartan-like athletes filed into the locker-room, the usual feeling of accomplishment filled them. Today, as on numerous other occasions, the Dwight varsity had toppled their challengers in an Athletic Association of Private Schools League basketball game. Coach Michael Muzio’s fine offensive and defensive techniques, combined with team enthusiasm, led our quintec to many a rewarding victory (including our fourth consecutive A.A.P.S. league title).

Fine back court performances were turned in by Louis Colletti and Captain M att Tricarico. In the scoring department names like Dene Hendrix, M ike Gales, Artie Stephenson, aond Paul W allahora were major factors in our fine 1962-63 season.

TRACK TEA M

Mr. Carlo Busso, a 1958 alumnus of Dwight and holder of the Stephen M cNally Award as outstanding athlete of his class, has returned to his alma mater as coach of the school track team. Five track meets were held this year, each under the auspices of the Athletic Association of Private Schools. Daily these dedicated runners and field men practiced in the gym or in Central Park to bring honor to their school.

THE NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY

Dwight has always had its share of brilHant students, praiseworthy citizens, and boys who put service to the school and to others above their own selfish desires. And in the past we have always had ways of rewarding those who excelled in one aspect of student life or another. However, this year for the first time, by affiliating ourselves with the National Honor Society (which is actually inter-national in scope) we are able to honor those students who best display the combination of scholarship, service, and character.

At an impressive induction ceremony at a first semester assembly, the thirteen charter members of the Dwight School chapter were initiated. Additional juniors and seniors were selected by faculty ballot after the first marking period of the second semester.

As in most schools which have chapters of the National Honor Society, the Dwight School chapter has a worthwhile project in being the nucleus (together with other students from the headmaster’s list) for a splendid system of tutoring boys encountering difficulties in one or more subjects. Unstintingly, they gave of their time to try to unravel the mysteries of world history, a geometric theorem, or any other subject that seemed to defy solution.

In addition to having the basic requisite to membership, an average of 85 or better, the charter members this year represented such varied activities as yearbook, newspaper, debating, basketball, student council, honor committee, and library committee. It was also felt that they (as succeeding members m ust) possess those qualities of character which are worthy of emulation by all Dwight students.
