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.
