PRELUDE

If you have glanced through this, our eighty-first Scroll, you probab­ly have noticed a number of signs, symbols, and terms which you might have concluded (quite properly) to pertain to music. We certainly hope so. For the theme for this year’s issue is, quite plainly and simply, music.

Our reasons for adopting a musical theme were two-fold. First, we felt it to be a fitting tribute to the one who has done so much to brighten our hours a t Dwight with music and to whom this book is affectionately dedicated. Second, we assumed tha t in the lives of each of you music has at some time or other influenced you or, a t any rate, been a source of enjoyment.

The muse, we trust, has been kind to us.We do not consider ourselves overbold in saying tha t music holds the

fullest measure of meaning and pleasure for each of you. I t is our fer­vent hope tha t this memento of your year at Dwight may hold as much meaning and pleasure as the music you love.

Dedication

Good things come in small packages, and our small package is certainly a good thing.

The 1961 Dwightonian is dedicated to a person who is petite and charming, filled with the spirit of Dwight School — and, incident­ally, the school’s only true soprano.

Come rain or shine, every morning we can be assured of a warm “good morning” and a pleasant smile. N ot all Dwight students rea­

lize how versatile our registrar is. She is not only a registrar par excellence but also doubles as a guardian of our knowledge in the arts. As the guiding spirit of our Glee Club, we feel tha t she aptly exemplifies our musical theme. W ith great love and thanks we dedicate our yearbook to Mrs. Doris B. Post.

5

I t is an unquestioned fact tha t education above the secondary school level is becoming more and more competitive. The selection process is serving to raise the quality of freshman classes a t most colleges and as a result, the Freshman courses are made more difficult. The class of 1961 must be aware tha t more hard work is expected of them than was the case a generation ago. The Senior who has not learned the importance of self discipline will very likely find tha t he

is poorly prepared to cope with this increased competition. The habits th a t determine success are established in secondary school. There is no time during the Freshm an year to correct weaknesses and deficiencies in a t­titudes and study habits.

We hope, sincerely, that the Class of 1961 appreciates the difficulty of the road ahead and realizes th a t the struggle will be worth while and profitable.

YEARBOOK

Co-Elditors Jan Dorman and Tony Emmerich tried to make the Scroll a true memory book of our years a t Dwight. This year meetings were held daily in order to compile a book which would be conscientious and exact in all fields. Stephen F. Cohen handled the business aspects of putting out the Scroll expertly while adviser Mr. Irving Asch greatly aided the Scroll throughout with tasteful suggestions and biased censor­ship.

N EW SPAPERThis year’s Dwightonian set a precedent by being published semi­

monthly. Editor Richard Rosenthal initiated this feat along with the establishment of several new columns dealing with various subjects ranging from restaurant and movie reviews to personal interviews. The entire staff was indebted to Mr. Irving Asch, without whose help the newspaper wouldn’t have been possible.

LITERA RY MAGAZINEUnder the aegis of Mr. David Dam stra the Dwight Review, a critical

and creative writing magazine, made its debut this year. Editors Rich­ard Rosenthal and Leigh Donaldson tried to coordinate the best writing from each class in its first edition; but the process was changed in the finale and the result was the best writing in the school. I t is hoped tha t the magazine will become a tradition so it can continue to kindle the flames of creative writing a t Dwight.

DEBA TINGThis year the debating team broke precedent by establishing two

constructive improvements: the creation of a fully-equipped informa­tion file and the formation of a strong novice debating group to con­tinue the high standards of the present senior team. The first team con­sisted of Charles Or gel (three year m em ber), John Dankwort, Jan Dorman, Richard Rosenthal, and David Saelens (two year members). The novice team included Stephen Stertz, Donald Holden.

GLEE CLUBAfter a near-fatal collapse during the fall term, the Dwight

Gleen Club is on its way to a speedy recovery. Under the watch­ful care of Mrs. Doris Post, who has helped save the patient from the depths of oblivion, the Glee Club is once more on its feet functioning as well as new. From about a dozen boys, sans accompanist, in the first semester, the organization developed to over twenty and with the skillful piano accompaniment of Myles Schwach.

LIBRA RY C O M M ITT EEMr. M atthew Ryan, in his first year as librarian, transformed the

Dwight facihties so tha t they could be of value to all students. M ore­over, the old fine system was abolished in favor of book donations which would increase the size of the library. The introduction of pocket books to the fiction shelves greatly enhanced the popularity of this section. The boys who were student librarians this year performed their work loyally and vigorously.

II CODA

As we come to the end of this, our Scroll for 1961, we wish to express our deep gratitude to Mr. Irving Asch, our adviser. In a larger sense, however, Mr. Asch has been more than a faculty sponsor. Working along with us to produce this book, he has been our friend and confidant.

For patience in abundance, humor when everything seemed blackest, for understanding beyond the realm of expectation, yes, even for occasional vociferous reproaches when we deserved them— we salute Mr. Asch.
