Cfje $tStorip of tfje (Class of 1915 Of the seven fellows who l egan life at Kent, there arc only two left with us at present, e commenced with Stradlcy, Evans, Ash, Hoddcr, Eangton. Savage II. and Watt, most of these have left. I he first year of our existence the new buildings were still in the process of completion and many of us s| ent our first nights in the unfinished dormitories. During the winter of our first year we played a very exciting hockey game with the Second Form, ending in a defeat of 7-0. The class distinguished itself from the first in baseball ami dramatics, and tales are still current al out the acting powers of certain departed members. Then there was the baseball team coached by Edgar Jackman. As we advance to the Second Form we had seven members added to our class. Hell. ( ory, Horton, Oakes, Wadsworth I. Warren, and Windom. We contributed a few members to the third football team that fall. However, the Winter Term was notable, in that Kent had its first hockey team under the able leadership of Edgar Jackman. In the spring of this year the school suffered a heavy loss in the burning of the barn. I he cause of this disaster was unknown. The next and third year of our existence was marked by a large addition of fellows. There were seventeen new members who had cither dropped back from the Fourth Form or were new boys. We had a fair representation on the second team in football. The most important event of that term was the fire. The fire started in the basement of the Main Building and made its way to the schoolroom, but was finally put out at this point by the consistent work of the fellows and men about the place. During the winter the Form had its first real banquet. Towards the end of the Fall Term, a play entitled The Kidnapping of the King's Daughter written by Father Sill, was given. Several of the Form acted in this farce. There were two of the first team baseball men in our Form, namely. Sweatt and Herscy. On May first, of the four candidates of the Third Form for the Council. Evans and Ash were elected. 1)
