The Sixth and last year of our school life was most important to us all. When we arrived in the fall, we found that three members of the class of 1914, Dchon, Skclding, and Studdiford, had come back to do some post-graduate work. Out of the twelve men on the football team, the Sixth Form bad eight including the captain. For the second time in the history of football at Kent. Gunnery was beaten badly by the decisive score of 20-0. The team had at last broken the tradition of defeats which Gunnery had given us for many years. On Thanksgiving Day. Ash was reelected captain for the coming season of 1915. Probably the most important event of the Autumn Term was the publication of a weekly paper, “The Kent News . This has l cen the only attempt at any paper, with the exception of the Quarterly”, that the school has made and certainly deserves great credit and the backing of all connected with Kent. The Winter Term brought with it hockey, and Coach Taube and Captain Horton were greeted with a large Squad. The season was successful ami the team showed its best form against Pawling by defeating them 1-0. On February 2nd the annual Masquerade Hall took place and proved a great success. Not only were great heroes of the world represented in the throng, but one could see Mr. Hobbic's double appearing here and there in the dining room. After the Faster vacation, baseball was begun and also the rehearsing of the play, Secret Service”, was commenced. This play has been a great success and several performances were given, each one attended by large audiences. On May 1st our numerals were covered over by those of the Fifth Form, and we banded over our duties to the class of 1916. Kaeh Sixth Former had the pleasure of criticising the Saturday night s| ecchcs during the bust term. With the return of Goss after Christmas the class numbered nineteen including the three members of last year's class. The approaching college exams keep the Form hard at work. The ride to Sharon was one which we are not likely to forget and I am sure that every member of the class enjoyed it. At last commencement is here, a very important time of our school life. The college exams keep many over and then we scatter to be among the alumni of the school. It is hard to tell where each member of the class will be next year. Ash cx| cots to 11

As we near our graduation and the examinations, we begin to think how hard the faculty lias worked for us and how much we owe them. We owe them much more than we could possibly pay back. Their efforts make it possible for us to pass the examinations and to enter college; or for those who arc not going to college to make a success in business. They have been friends to us in trouble, helped us. and brought us through the school year with great success. It is with unspeakable thanks, therefore, that we say good-bye to them after our graduation. and we all wish them success in the coming year with the form that shall lake our places. There is only one new member of the faculty this year; Mr. James Cleveland, of Columbia University, who is taking the lower Forms in Knglish, Mathematics, and I-atin. Father Sill has again taken up teaching after a retirement of two years. He is taking the Third and Fourth Forms in I«itin. REV. FREDERICK H. SILL, O. H. C. Father Sill is a graduate of Columbia and has resumed teaching again and is making a great success of his Third and Fourth Form Latin Classes. To the Headmaster, of course belongs the first place among the faculty. MR. THEODORE HOBBIE Mr. Hobhic is the only remaining member of Kent's first faculty. When Kent was founded, he was asked to conduct the department of Mathematics, and accepted after finishing part of bis course at Princeton. Mr. Ilohhic is the senior member of the faculty and is remembered by every one who ever visited Kent. 18
