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)

On wc went now entering upon our Fourth Form year. During the summer a new building hud heon added to the plant. Ash and Hcrscy represented the Form on the football team. This year Kent defeated (mil-ncry for the first time in football by the score of 14-12. Ash played on the hockey team this season from the Fourth Form. Robinson substituted. On May first, 1913, Theodore Evans and Barrett Whitman were elected to serve on the Council. This same day was the day appointed for the class of 1 ! 1 1 to paint their numerals on the Rock, but the next day turned out to be a disastrous one for our Form. Several of the I'orm. painted a l.i on a sheet and carefully hung it over the newly painted rock on the night of May first. When the Fifth Formers saw what had been done, a riot started but was promptly sat on by the Headmaster, and he punished the Fourth Form by making them sit in the schoolroom all morning of this holiday. Wc went on from the Fourth Form to the Fifth and left several of our former classmates behind u and only added three new fellows. These were. Barry, Whitney I. and Miller I. On our return, the school was greeted by a Ford car. this being the property of Mr. Hobbie, and many enjoyed rides in it. We were again well represented in football by Ash, Hcrscy, Prout, and Whitney. On Thanksgiving Day of 1913, Ash was elected captain of the 1914 football team and Whitman was made manager. Later in the winter Horton was elected captain of the 1915 hockey team. On February 14th, the class held its annual banquet in the Trophy Room. The occasion was an unique one in that everyone, except Father Sill attended in evening dress. There were four members of the Form on the baseball team. Many of the Form played on the league team. Cory and Whitney I captaining two of the teams and the latter after a hard season won the cup. Of course we all looked forward to May 1st, with great interest, since that is the day when our clns.- took over the responsibilities of the school, which the out going class relinquished. Every member of the Form work ed hard Oil that day putting the class numerals on the Rock and after several coats had been put on the job was finished. On the evening of that day, Ash. Harris, and Evans were appointed prefects for the next year. At the Council meeting later Ash was elected chairman, which is also Senior Prefect. We regretted the loss of tin-graduating class with whom wc had spent several happy years. After the college exam- we all departed for the summer. 10
