Those s tuden ts who know him as an in s t ru c tor in math know tha t his c l a s s e s are not conducted merely for the purpose of earning a mark, but for the purpose of learn ing . His c l a s s e s , which have a t times included French and Latin as well as math, are p resen ted and carried on in a d isc ip l ined manner in k eep ing with his pos i t ion as chairman of the Faculty D iscip linary Committee and adv ise r to the Honor Committee, but they are a lways made more in te res t ing by his face t ious a s id e s . Mr. Jones in exerc is ing ju s t i c e with good humor has indeed earned th is d e d ica tion .

Mr. Winton L. Miller, Jr. , HeadmasterThe C la s s of 1967, the e ig h ty -s ix th in the h is to ry of Dwight School, will

ROBERT WINSTON BIG is the word for Robert W inston.

A newcomer to Dwight, Bob proved to be an a s s e t to the bask e tb a l l team. His resounding vo ice and elephantine s teps can always be heard resounding throughout the schoo l . He had a tendency to forget things som etim es, though, as w itness his 9 a .m . turn about one day to return to Scarsdale for forgotten proofs of h is senior p ic tures . In sp i te of a l l , his carefree outlook managed to brighten things up a t Dwight.

The true mark of a champion is to bounce back from defea t to v ic tory . The Dwight Tigers of 1966-67 did ju s t th a t . Because of inexper ience and very often bad b re a k s , the Tigers lo s t the ir f irs t five gam es . However, our sixth game was a completely different s tory. The Tigers completely outplayed the Holy Trinity five and their f i rs t v ic tory was ga ined . From then on, victory w as the only thing the Tigers ever knew a s they went on to win th ir teen con secu t ive gam es.

Artie W iggins became the third man at Dwight to score 1 ,000 p o in ts . He made a co n s i s te n t ly good scoring effort a s h is 18.5 points per game shows.

Andy S tephenson fully lived up to h is po ten t ia l . This 5 '10" leaper av e ra g ed 16.1 and was a lways good for a hundred percen t effort in every game.

W henever a defens ive job had to be done, Paul Tuske was given the t a s k . This was P au l 's f i rs t year as a s ta r te r , and he performed l ike a true v e te ran .

Ken G athy, a four-year ve te ran , ju s t m issed the 1 ,000 point mark. Ken, who scored 997 p o in ts , has been a s ta r te r for h is four y e a rs . He is the b e s t b a l l -h an d le r on the team , and no matter how tight the d e fe n s e , Kenny could a lw ays be counted on to get the ball in scoring pos i t ion .

Bob C osgrove , Neal Johnson, and Robert Evans al l contr ibuted to the s u c c e s s of the Tigers. The y ea r 's climax was reached when Dwight de fea ted DeWitt C lin ton , a top -ranked team.

Much credit is due Mr. Maloney and Mr. Cadra , who guided the team through their b ri l l ian t s ea so n .

BASEBALL

Dwight 's b a s e b a l l team is not as w ell p u b l ic iz ed as the s c h o o l 's b a sk e tb a l l team , but i t is a capab le ro s te r of p lay e rs . Under the coaching of Mr. Maloney and Mr. C adra , they p laced second in the ir league l a s t y ea r . The return of depend ab le senior players such as C harles Kolster, Thomas Barrow, and Humberto Rodriguez should make th is s e a s o n an equal ly s u c c e s s fu l one. In add i t ion , there are sev e ra l underc lassm en on the team to carry on in future years .

INTRAMURALS

Under the in sp ira t ion of the Student Council and the superv is ion of Mr. Cadra , Dwight had intramurals in three sports th is year; vo l leyba l l , dodgeba l l , and b a sk e tb a l l . Furthermore, there were dreams of a fourth, so f tba l l , in the spring.

DODGEBALL

The intramurals began with dodge b a l l , and , by the end of the se r ie s of gam es , victory belonged to the s e n i o r s . Their high ve loc i ty throwing, contributed by such players as Bradley Ingram, de fea ted even the ga l lan t efforts of the under- c l a s s t e a m s .

52

VOLLEYBALL

The vol leybal l ne t suspended ac ross the gym proclaimed what the next intramural would be . The sen ior turnout proved to be so en th u s ia s t i c tha t two team s . Senior A and B, were made up by M r . Cadra . Both teams s u c c e s s fu l ly survived the competition provided by the f re sh m an -P G , sophomore, and junior te a m s , and a championship p lay-off was schedu led . The members of Senior B included such invinc ib le va rs i ty players as Bob Cosgrove and Paul Tuske, but the efforts of Peter Selten and Ken Gathy, among the other p layers of Senior A, conquered a l l .

ST

BASKETBALL

The most hotly co n te s ted intramural was b a s k e t b a l l , and a l l the c l a s s teams had the ir share of s t a r s . The f reshm an-PG team featured the d read ed PG,John Rampolla, and the sophomores b o a s t ed Stuart F irs tenberg . The s u s p e n s e mounted as both of the two top -ra ted te am s , the juniors and sen iors , won a l l their gam es . The i s s u e of which was be t te r was brought to a rousing conc lus ion in the game of February 27. Pete Se l ten , Danny G allagher , Bob Corby, John F. M cCarthy , and Bob E liassof were the winning sen ior team . Both s id e s ' shooting , rebounding, and driving became in tense as such junior p layers as Padilla , M ig l io re , Krone, and Colon tried to overcome the s e n io rs . Seniority triumphed, however, with a score of 38-24 .

Many thanks should be given to Mr. Cadra through whose time and effort th e s e games a t t a in ed the popularity and s u c c e s s they did .

Since he is often found strol l ing the corridors while contemplating improvements , Mr. Spahn has b e come a familiar figure in the short time he has been at Dwight. The experience he brings with him to the post of A ss is tan t Headm aster is r ich and varied and is not confined so le ly to the field of educa t ion . Those of us who w il l s t i l l be around 402 E. 67th for a few y ea rs look forward to the posi t ive effect of Mr. Spahn's i d e a s .

The s tuden ts sa id to Socra tes , speak to us of t e a c h in g .

And he replied:"Is it poss ib le for one man to

see exac t ly the same v is io n as ano ther? Can an a r t i s t fee l and rec rea te the works of art of other a r t i s t s ? Are we a l l so a l ike tha t one must acqu ire , in order to be happy, what another p o s s e s s e s ?"

A m usic ian may be ab le to e x plain how he c re a te s a song , but he cannot g ive you the se n s i t iv i ty to c rea te your own. A m athem atic ian can d i s c u s s the frontiers of geom etry , but he cannot force you to have the same joy and unders tand ing .

To give wisdom is not the t a sk of a t e a c h e r , but ra ther to give a s tuden t confidence and loving fa i th th a t he can find his own path .

A w ise p r ies t wrote in the temple of D e los , "Know th y s e l f . " Teaching is to lead another to the th resho ld of o n e 's own im agination . For in the end we a l l s tand alone in our knowledge of Heaven and Earth.

— Stephen Spahn

That ta l l figure in 3Bis Mr. Powell. He arrived a t mid-term to become the new sp ap e r 's third advisor and took over English and Latin in c l a s s e s of various leve ls . Though he was sports editor of h is own sch o o l 's new spape r , he has re sp ec ted the ind iv iduali ty of the Dwight Word and a l low ed i ts s ta ff to implement the ir own crea t ive i d e a s . On the academ ic s id e , Mr. Pow ell 's c l a s s e s are known to be w e l l -o rg an ized and e f fec t iv e .

After twenty years as H eadm aster of Dwight School, Mr. Winton L. M il le r , Jr. , is re t i r ing . Those of us who knew him well and part icu larly th o se facu l ty who served under his leadersh ip for a number of yea rs are extremely hard put to conceive of a Dwight School w ithout Mr. Miller at the helm. Always he has been unders tanding and co m p ass io n a te , most important a t t r ibu tes in any man, more so in one who is charged with the preparation for the future of young men. Also, we have found him to be w i s e —w hether in a d i s c u s s io n of p rincip les with economics s tuden ts or in helping indiv id ua ls to tack le part icu larly irksome and seemingly inso lub le prob lem s.

Under Mr. M il le r 's l e ad e rsh ip , Dwight School, although small in s i z e , has maintained an informal d isc ip l in ed a tm os phere which makes learning anything but the ted ious routine it is in most s ch o o ls . The outs tanding rap p o r t - - e v e n cam- am araderie— tha t prevail between s tuden ts and teach e rs is a te s tam en t to the example s e t by our re tir ing H eadm aster .

Since we are the l a s t graduating c l a s s under you. Sir, we would l ike to thank you for the rare qua l i t ie s we have found in Dwight.
