This fact has been uppermost in the minds of those of us who are responsible for the publishing of the 1926 Year Hook. We have endeavored to offer a book containing a complete record of the events of the past year, and in addition reflections of the chief occurrences which have made up the history of the School. The changes which we have made, although few in number, undoubtedly add to the interest of the book. Among these may be noted the increase in the number of snap-shots, and the shortening of many of the articles. We have eliminated from this year's annual the scores of former contests with opponents no longer on Kent’s schedule. We wish to call greater attention, however, to the section devoted to the reflections of the School's first twenty years. These, we are confident, will hold great interest for everyone. The material growth of the School, in numbers, organizations, and athletic prestige, may be traced in the “log of each year. Those who were students at Kent during its early days can discern the development of the School in other ways, in spirit and traditions. We offer, therefore, the reflections of several Alumni, and in their recollections this almost undefinahle growth may l e seen. Such are our additions to the Year Hooks of former graduating classes. Along many lines, last year’s edition has l een closely followed, and we have retained every improvement which was made in that Year Hook. With grateful appreciation for the assistance which the alumni have rendered us, and with thanks to the friends and boys of the School for their patronage, we offer this ear Hook to all those who love and admire Kent.

Thirteen of us who were the “brats”, together with the later additions are about to graduate this Prize Day, taking with us the memory of those intervening years, whose trials and travail, gaiety and gladness, have taught us much and made us the class of 1926. In those distant days of 1921 and 1922 we were little more than the objects of the indifference, censure, or pity of those higher up. But we had, nevertheless, as all brats do, our own suppressed interests. Our trials were then, we beg to remark, great and, no doubt, beneficial. Being humble knights, we bore on our escutcheons a broom and dustpan rampant on a field of dirt. The burden of punctuality oppressed us. But in these, as in other matters, we had not as yet attained originality. We indulged in our soap-throwing, bed-dumping and other youthful sports in the orthodox manner. Our president of that year. Walker, among others, strove manfully with those embryo bandits, Foster, Neely, and Lewis, lest they should carry these illicit pursuits beyond the bounds of good taste and wisdom. Mills, a Third Former in our midst, held the undisputed championship of the dorm by a knockout, while Murehie of the same class attracted our interest by his artistic ability and predilection for aboriginal pursuits. True to our orthodoxy we endeavored to be respectful to our elders. Occasional assaults on the exclusive North Dorm furnished the necessary relaxation. Among these toughening experiences were the football and hockey leagues and the pursuit of learning, in the last of which, let it be noted, we already showed some small ability. One Winter night the bridge was destroyed by the ice and we, the youngest and most impressionable of the School, watched from Mr. Evans’ study window as the mangled remains ground their way down the gray and crashing ice-flow. A story has been circulated of a certain master, who, on the following morning, surmounted the barrier of ice between the School and town by crossing, hand over hand, on a telephone cable to his Latin and (ireek classes, intending to prove, doubtless, that his claim to fame was based on good solid muscle. The day previous to our Faster vacation a temporary bridge was completed and saved us from an enforced postponement of our departure. The early part of our first Spring Term is memorable as being wet. Remnants of the flood backed up by the departing ice gave our first Smith ample scope for his budding piscatorial art. We had much to occupy us. A mysterious aerial railway on the slopes of Algo busied several of our members. Certain eminent fun-lovers, deprived of former stamping-grounds at the old barns, pursued their game far afield. A newly inaugurated crew could be seen every afternoon swinging around the bend of the river, flashing by under the Study Hall windows, or floating peacefully out of sight in the distance. Baseball, including the leagues on which several of us played, was active and we realized how rightly Spring term is 19 called the best. The election of council-members and appointment of prefects and inspectors on May first gave us a working knowledge of the Kent System hitherto taken for granted. The climax of the term, despite Prize Day, was the day on which we embarked on our summer vacation. We returned in the Autumn unencumbered by the Foster Contingent and with the addition of Allen, Bachellcr, Cheney, Colmore, Gam mack, Gott, Grandin, C. Harris, Grant, Griffin, Hatfield, P. Moore. Rumsey, Leverett Smith and G. Whitney. Among many improvements in the School plant were the new barns. Work was progressing on the new Infirmary. After assimilating these facts we elected Frothingham our president and started our various occupations. From our positions on the leagues we watched Ballard lead his team, coached by Mr. Bartlett, through a championship season. After Christmas we saw Jack Frey’s undefeated hockey team make a name for Kent. During that winter the Alumni House became noted for mysterious events, stairway catastrophes, trunk mysteries and window tapping, punctuated by the wailing of innocent victims. But the authorities, on the trail of a minor offense, encountered these phenomena and put a stop to them. The same dormitory later distinguished itself by its mystic rites to a certain Housatonic divinity, whose name, resurrected from the past, takes the form of Hankus. Our Spring term surpassed even that of the previous year. Benjamin Cheney and I.everett Smith became our first council members. Our Form crew and several men on the baseball squad made us feel somewhat important. The Prize Day report increased the feeling for we had seven of our members on the honor roll and in ranking were preceded only by the then, and, we hope, still brilliant class of 1947. The Fall of 1928 saw Cheney as our President and our Form numbering only thirty-four. The additions were: Baker, F. Harris, Nazro, Tewksbury, Yoorhees, Wainwright, Thompson and Yeomans. When we saw our members, except Cheney, still on the leagues, we realized that we had less claim to brawn than brain. Time flew quickly. After a moderately successful football season and very good hockey results, we came to the Spring term that was to bring us our first importance in the School. Colmore as cox of the crew was our first letter man and Ben Cheney turned in a second letter from his position on the baseball team. Bent, Nazro, Whitney and Frothingham played on the squad while Yeomans and Tewksbury won their tennis numerals. A junior four-oared crew was chosen from our Form to represent the School against Choate at Wallingford. Notable events of the term were the defeat of Pawling in baseball for the first time, and the breaking of ground for a new dining hall. We stayed after Prize Day for our first Board Examinations, drank tea, swam and had a good time generally. In the Fall Boughton, Brainard, Farnum and Muldaur were new-comers. I.everett Smith and Bent were our council-members, Bent our president. A successful football team, beaten only by Hoben of Hotchkiss, had Muldaur and 21 Cheney among its members. Frothingham, M. Moore, Nazro, Russell, L. Smith, Snyder, Yoorhees and Whitney played on the squad. The success of Muldaur and Russell in dramatics was eclipsed only by the acting of Snyder in a female role. Right Fifth Formers accompanied the (ilee Club on its second trip to New York for the Interscholastic (dee Club Contest. Moore, Bent, Cuvier, Nazro, Froth-ingliam. Holmes and Grant received hockey insignia. The Spring of the Fifth Form year was undoubtedly a successful one. Four of our members were on the baseball team and the Fifth Form crew acquitted itself honorably. On May first, despite foreign intervention, we placed our numerals on the rock and took over the management of the School. I.everett Smith as senior prefect was assisted by Bent and Brainard with Snyder as sub-prefect. Perhaps the most enjoyable day of the year was that on which the Choate second and third crews and the Choate baseball team went down to defeat. The Fifth Form crew, in beating the Choate third crew, had the honor of sitting in the first shell to cross the line ahead of Choate. That evening a dance took place in the newly completed dining hall which we were invited to attend by the graduating class. So, after a short time, including the week before the Board Exams which is one of the best, despite rumors to the contrary, we completed our last year in the ranks. Our return in the autumn found us a very small form—only twenty-seven. We elected Bent our president and commenced to take charge of the affairs of a School of two hundred and thirty-six. The close of the football season gave six of our class their letters, but, though nine others were on the squad, the agre-gatc did not quite fulfill our earlier dreams. Nevertheless, we were becoming resigned to smallness of stature as well as scantiness of numbers. The autumn scholastic report, an unusually high one, showed our Form at the head of the list. To graduate, as evidenced by that report, has been our chief aim during the past year; and yet there are, in retrospect, many things in these school days of ours that make graduation seem not so worthy an object. There are landmarks behind which we will not forget and which will call us back again. Through many inland waters we have sailed together on a voyage that, happy as it has been, has yet had its stormy spells. But, despite storms, tempests, and landmarks looking at our fellow-voyagers as we head for the open sea, we find it in our hearts to say: “We know what risks all landsmen run.

Coyle, Jr. £lje Council AFTER a development of eighteen years, the Student Council holds a place of utmost importance in the organization of the school. The Council was formed in 11)08 at the Headmaster’s suggestion. It was composed of a group of seven boys through which he could easily get in touch with the happenings in the school life, and through which he could clearly state his requests to the student body. At first, however, the Council was attempted as an experiment, but the Headmaster soon realized its importance, and thus it became a school institution. Moreover, a constitution was drawn up, and it is still in use at the present time with only one minor amendment. As stated in the Constitution, the School Council is composed of seven members in all, three chosen from the Sixth Form, two from the Fifth, and two from the Fourth. The Sixth Form members, or Prefects, are selected by the Headmaster at a School meeting on the. evening of May first, and take office the following day. The Prefects are the student representatives of the Headmaster. The other Councilors are chosen by, and therefore represent, the student body. The plan of their election is that some time before May first the Third and Fourth Forms hold meetings and nominate four candidates from each Form. Then on the evening of the first of May, the student body elects two from each group on the basis of their ability to serve the School along those lines by which the Council governs. Their principal duty is to safeguard the discipline of the study periods without any supervision bv the Faculty. Each year the Council elects from its number a Chairman and a Secretary from the Prefects, and a Sergeant-at-Arms from the Fourth Form members. During the school year, the Council meets regularly once a week at some chosen place. As provided by the Constitution, it is the duty of the Council to consider all petitions or complaints made by any student or master, if it is for the welfare of the school; to censure or advise any student whose conduct is a direct violation of the traditions of the school; and to offer to the Faculty a means through which they can impress on the students the importance of some point in regard to studies or discipline. The Council is the guardian of the self-help system at Kent, a system which others schools have examined and in some cases imitated. Frequently representatives have l)ecn sent from various schools to study the methods employed by the Council, and to see just what branches of school activities come under its jurisdiction. During the past year, the Council has consisted of: L. T. Smith’26, Chairman; J. P. Bent ’26, Secretary; C. E. Brainard '26; M. Stearns '27; It. I). Irving ”27; B. Rich ’28; K. Smith ’28, Sergeant-at-Arms. QTfje attb (Quarterly THE purpose of the publication of the News and Quarterly is, through the one. to provide an account of Kent life for those interested, and, through the other, to provide an outlet for the literary expression of the School. With these aims in mind, the 1926 News and Quarterly Hoard has adhered to the conservative policies of its predecessors. The News, as in former years, has been issued every week throughout the year except during the three recesses. In having the paper distributed on Tuesdays, the Hoard has maintained the improvement made by the class of 1925. No change of any importance has been made in either appearance or material; however, inasmuch as the News is published more for the benefit of the alumni than for any other group, an increase in the length and interest of the column headed “Alumni Notes has l een a point for which the Hoard has striven. Although this year's Hoard, following the example of many previous ones, has discussed and aspired to a change in the size of the News, nothing toward that end has yet been accomplished. It is felt, however, that this step will be necessary in the near future and it is hoped that some coming secretary-treasurer will see the way clear to financing such a change. In the Quarterly no capital alteration has been made. The Hoard has endeavored to extend, and continue to pursue the policy adopted some years ago of maintaining a high and distinctly literary tone in the periodical, and to making it truly representative of the School’s ability. Concerning progress toward the former of these goals, nothing may be said here; as for the second, it is pleasing to note some advance, for the first of this year's issues contained articles all but one of which were written by boys neither on nor heeling the Hoard. Ky way of recognition of their services to the School, graduating members of future News and Quarterly Hoards will receive from the Alumni Association watch-charms suitably engraved. The awarding of this little remembrance was, no doubt, started with the excellent ulterior motive of holding out to heelers some material reward for which to work. In conjunction with the mention of heelers, it has been noted that the heeler’s point of view is even now changing for the tetter. During the past year, several boys have entered the competitions announcing that, whether or no they make the Hoard, the experience gained from the attempt would te of value to their development. This is foresight indeed, ami it is Iio|hm1 that this spirit will continue to show itself. The 1926 News and Quarterly Hoard: President, Henry E.

Lvall TIIK Glee Club, oldest of the School’s musical organizations, was organized this year immediately after the opening of the Fall Term, under the capable direction of Mr. Kitson. From the beginning it was evident that the Club could not enter the annual Interscholastic Contest at New York because of the lack of tenors. This shortage necessitated the combination of the Senior and Junior Glee (Mubs for most of the numbers. The latter group has very capably performed their part of the singing, and a large measure of the success of the Alumni and Town Concerts is due to this part of the (dee ('lull. Mr. Kitson with excellent support has rounded out a better Club than the School has had in any year previous. The following are the members: First Tenors Second Tenors liaritones Passes Barringer M.

Stevens Waldron 63 £lje ZDance dDrdjcstra THOUGH there has been no formal demand for the Dance Orchestra as yet, its members have frequently entertained Saturday night audiences in the Dining Hall, and have played at other informal events. Consisting of six pieces, this organization has proved itself above the usual standard of school orchestras. The following are members of the Dance Orchestra: Saxophones Han jo Violin Piano Traps West Sholes Mahon Yoorhees Miller R. Chase Cf)t Classical ©rcljestra Director, Mr. Kitson Leader, Gunn r | ' 11K Classical Orchestra has given recitals not only at the formal concerts, but it has also l een the source of much enjoyment at the weekly Wednesday night musicales. At the latter, Messrs. Kitson, Moreaux, and Piscitello, have played in the orchestra. A notable addition to the instruments this year has l een the bass viol, ably played by Gott. This adds a firm tonal foundation. The orchestra is composed entirely of string instruments. Gunn has been the leader during the past year. The following are the meml ers of the orchestra: First Violin Second I ’iolin busman Mahon Adams R. Fowler Viola Yeomans ’Cello Parker Double Hass Gott Accompanist Lyall Z )t unbap Schools A LMOST every Sunday morning during school sessions for the past nine years, a few Kent boys have found their way to the little school-house of the village of Macedonia, about two miles up the valley, and have there met and instructed a number of children in the life and works of our Lord, early Church history, and the rudiments of the Christian relig-THE MACEDONIA SCHOOL ion. This little organization was founded in 1918 by three Kent fellows, at the wish of Father Sill. The loginning was small, only three scholars presenting themselves on the opening day, but in the course of the first year the enrollment increased to twenty. Since then the attendance has fluctuated, thirty being the highest ever reached. In 1943 another Sunday School came into existence, this time at North Kent, on the other side of the river and about four miles north of the School. This branch of the work was begun under the direction of Nathaniel Noble, '24. lie and his aides were fortunate in obtaining a small chapel, abandoned by the Congregationalists of North Kent, in which to hold their classes, for here, with books and materials obtained in Kent, they managed to hold cpiite a satisfactory service each week. The number of scholars in this group, although small, is growing. Both Sunday Schools are divided into classes according to the ages and abilities of the children. The pupils range from 5 to 14 years of age. There arc two classes at North Kent, four at Macedonia. The routine is much the same as that at any church school, consisting of three hymns, a half hour or so of classes, and a few prayers. There is a party at Christmas, at which there is usually some sort of entertainment by the children, presents from the Christmas tree, and so forth. The party is always the gayer for the candy which Mrs. Bartlett so kindly donates, and hearty thanks are due her for this and other help she has given. In addition to the Christmas party, there is a Sunday School picnic in June. The schools are supported by the students of Kent, both through their contributions and their service on the teaching staff. Those doing the latter work this year are: (Jordon Cuyler, 2( , I . T. Bruyere, Jr., 2( ; R. J. Kinney, 27; R. 1 . Kent, Jr., ’27; R. II. Sayre, 27; R. Burkham, Jr., 27; A. Q. Keasbey, 27. ®fjc Co=©pcratibc Stores THE three branches of the Cooperative Stores, the Stationery Store, Athletic Store, and Pop Tent, are managed each year by members of the Sixth Form. They are assisted by three Fifth Formers, who take over the management of the respective stores in their Sixth Form year. On every May first, when the new managers begin their duties, all Third Formers who wish to compete for the managerships are called out, and in a week or so a “cut” is made. Those surviving this “cut” serve during their Fourth Form year, and the following year one is chosen to remain as assistant to the manager of each store. The Stationery Store supplies books, stationery, and toilet articles to the School. It is the oldest of the three organizations, having been founded by “Frere” Hobbie in 1910, when its quarters were in Basement Hall B. Mr. Hobbie was assisted in his business by several of the older boys as long as he remained at the School, and on his departure in 1917, the system now in vogue originated. The first Athletic Store had its quarters in the basement of the Main Building. This was in the year 1914. In 1919, when the Stationery Store moved from Basement Hall B to its present situation, the Athletic Store was moved to the Stationery Store's original position. In 1923, when the quarters of the Stationery Store were enlarged, it was moved to its present position. The name “Pop Tent owes its origin to a tent, where pop and candy were sold. In 1917, a small shack replaced the tent, and in 1921 the present building was erected. In winter the store has quarters in Basement Hall B, where the Stationery Store and Athletic Store were formerly situated. As these stores were formed only when necessity demanded it, each attempts merely to “break even . The Stationery Store always shows a great profit; the Athletic Store usually makes expenses, and occasionally makes money; the Pop Tent, while never running seriously into debt, never makes money, and often manages to eat up the profits of the other two departments. During the year 192.5-1920 only one change has been made in the system of the Cooperative Stores. The Athletic and Stationery Departments have remained the same, but the Pop Tent, formerly open on Wednesdays and Saturdays, has l een opened only on the latter days since the oj ening of the Winter Term. In addition, the articles sold by this department have l ecn very carefully selected by the school nurse. This change was brought about by a decision of the Student Council. The following have l een the managers of the Cooperative Stores this year: Stationery Store, R. V. Fabian; Athletic Store, J. (i. Frothingham; Pop Tent, (i. W. Hatfield. II. W. Barry, W. Harris, and W. II. Lane have ! een the respective Fifth Form Assistants. 07 W je Alumni Association THE Alumni Association was organized in 1907 on the first Prize Day. Alfred Sweet, Anson Gardner, and Osgood Perry, Kent’s first graduates, were the charter members. The Association now boasts of an enrollment of about four hundred and eighty members. There are no fixed dues, each member being expected to contribute something to the Alumni Fund. This method was inaugurated several years ago, and so far has proved to l e very successful. This fund is used to pay for the Essay and Public Speaking prizes, which are awarded each Prize Day, and for the various other expenses of the Association. The Alumni Council is the mediator between the school and the Association, and the organ through which the Association is known to the School. The Council meets at the School at least once a year and makes a thorough inspection of the equipment and management. The faculty and representatives of the various student organizations and activities are interviewed, and a report is made to the Headmaster. The students are at perfect liberty to file any complaints with the Council, and to offer any suggestions or changes that they feel would l e beneficial to the School. The Council upholds or dismisses these complaints or proposed changes as it sees fit, and recommends any changes to the Headmaster that it deems necessary. The Alumni Council for 192.5-2(5 is as follows: Samuel S. Bartlett, T8; Douglas C. Crawford, TO; Theodore F. Evans, T5; Alexander 11. Wood, Tl, and Douglas Williams, ’20. The term of Samuel S. Bartlett expires this year, and at the annual meeting of the Alumni Association, held at the school over Washington’s birthday, Randolph P. Titus ’09 and George W. Fly T8 were nominated to fill this vacancy. The former was elected. By the provisions of the new constitution, Douglas (’. Crawford, senior member of the Alumni Council, will be President of the Association for the year 1920-27, and Theodore F. Evans, the member of the Council next in seniority, will 1m� Vice-president. The most important action of the Association in recent years is the adoption of a new constitution. Space prohibits the printing herein of the entire new constitution, but the most important features contained therein are as follows: The senior meml er of the Alumni Council shall each year automatically become President of the Association, and the member next in seniority, shall become Vice-President; for the purposes of any one mail ballot, only those voting will be considered meml ers of the Association and the number necessary for a majority will be based accordingly; the Alumni Council shall be the Executive Committee of the Alumni Association. In 192(5 reunion was held as usual over the week-end of Washington’s Birthday. Seventeen of Kent’s nineteen graduated classes were represented, forty-seven Alumni returning to spend the week-end at the School. The annual hockey game l etween the Alumni and the School, looked forward to with as much pleasure by the School as by the Alumni, resulted in a victory for the School. ’fir £fje JfatfjerS’ g etoctation THE Fathers’ Association, that most helpful and important organization, has entered its sixth year of activities with a spirit of earnestness and cooperation that promises great things in the future. It would Ik impossible to overestimate the importance of the Association. Not only has it brought the fathers into closer relationship with their sons while at School, and consequently given them a keen insight into School affairs; but it has also given this body of Kent parents a means through which the School may enjoy the interest, cooperation, and advice of the men whose sons are at Kent. A Building Fund Committee, for example, was organized in 1940, which has had the greatest success in raising funds for various new buildings of the School, particularly the Dining Hall. In 1944 an Athletic Association was formed by the Fathers, the purpose of which as stated in the constitution is “to enlist and develop the interest of the Fathers of Kent boys and others in proj er and legitimate support of general athletics at Kent School, financially or otherwise.” The funds raised by the Athletic Association are voted for different departments of School athletics. In 1944, for example, money was appropriated for the payment of the launch and a considerable sum was set aside for the new football field. The Fathers’ Athletic Association makes a report at the annual meeting of the Fathers’ Association held at the school at the first of May. While every Kent father automatically becomes a member of the Fathers’ Association, membership to the Athletic Association is entirely voluntary. Ninety fathers, a record attendance, were present at the annual conference held at the School the final week-end of last May. Forty-four slept in the New Dining Hall; they were the first to occupy that building. Those who arrived on Friday attended the annual School meeting for the election of the Council and the appointment of Prefects. After this meeting the Fathers adjourned to the library where a conference of the faculty and the fathers was held in order that the marks of the term might Ik discussed. Some of the Fathers attended classes Saturday morning, others took walks around the School while a few practiced for the baseball game Sunday afternoon. Many arrived on Saturday in time to witness the race with the Yale 150-lb. Freshmen, and the baseball game with Taft. Saturday night the Fathers attended a concert given by the musical clubs. On Sunday after the morning service, the annual meeting of the Fathers’ Association was held in the library. The reports of the Fathers’ Athletic Association and those of the Building Fund Committee were rendered, showing the work done by these organizations to be most satisfactory. Mr. ('barber made the financial report of the School. Father Sill briefly outlined the events of the year and thanked the Fathers for their cooperation and support. The meeting ended with the game with the Sons in the afternoon. The sons were victorious. £ outfj L ent DURING the Winter and Spring of 1943 rumors permeated the air concerning the founding of a school to Ik run on lines similiar to Kent. These gradually formed into plans which soon culminated in the purchase of a farm house at South Kent and the opening of a school at that place. To marshal the twenty-four charter students in the system of Self-IIelp and at the same time to drill lessons into their heads was no mean task. To help him in this enterprise, Mr. S. S. Bartlett 18, chosen headmaster, selected Mr. R. Cuyler, a classmate, as his assistant. I.ater, when the plans of the school had materialized, Mr. S. Goodwin '40. was added to the faculty and Miss Dulon was secured for Housemother. The School as it now stands has undergone many changes. During the Summer of 1941 a wing was added stretching towards the lake which it overlooks, while last summer another wing was added. Father Kemmis, resident chaplain, Mr. L. Cuyler ’40, Mr. R. Morehouse 40, and Mr. Davison and Mr. Mahon 41, have been added to the faculty to take care of the larger group of students. The routine work of the School is practically the same as at Kent, with the difference that the older hoys are not yet responsible for supervising and inspecting the work of the younger fellows. This is due to the fact that there will be no Sixth Form until next year, and until that time the masters do the work that will later be entrusted to the Sixth Form. This Spring, therefore, when on May first Prefects and Inspectors are selected as at Kent, will be the high water mark of the School’s career thus far. Athletics at South Kent have been very successful, especially this year. The first year the School football team undertook such teams as Rumsey Hall and Gunnery Juniors. These they won from, but they lost to the Canterbury and Pawling Juniors. The next year, the team acquitted itself creditably, defeating Gunnery but losing to the Kent Juniors. This last Fall, the team under Mr. Bartlett’s coaching had an excellent season. The most noteworthy achievement was the 13-7 victory over Gunnery. It also tied Kent Seconds 0-0 and Canterbury 0-0. The hockey team at South Kent this last year was excellent. Twice it battled the Kent first team to close scores, and showed itself capable of strong opposition. The fact that this is the first time that South Kent has played Kent’s first team in any sport marks an important advance in the athletic development of the School. These varsity games between Kent and South Kent teams mark the beginning of a new relation between the schools. Heretofore, Kent has regarded its sister school with somewhat of a protective and solicitory attitude l efitting a new institution. This, however, must be the attitude of the past; for South Kent, since it will next year possess a Sixth Form, is on an equal basis with Kent. Next year and in future years South Kent will continue to play Kent’s first team in at least one sport. Rivalry must now take place. Let us hope, however, that the same interest in South Kent will ever continue in the minds of all who have watched it since its founding. 70 fflje CljeSS Club THE Chess Club is one of the School’s newest organizations, having been formed by Mr. Hilliard in 1921. Before that time there had been little or no interest in the game, but under Mr. Hilliard's direction many boys learned the fundamental principles. During the first year of the club’s existence, Mr. F. J. Marshall, champion of the United States, paid a visit to the School. He played two blind-fold matches, winning both, and in addition met over fifty opponents in a simultaneous exhibition. Kent lost its first chess match, with Taft, by the score of 3-2. The next year two meets were held with Taft in both of which Kent was victorious, by the scores of l 2 to and 3-2. The Fall Term of 1923 was marked by the second visit of Mr. Marshall. At this time he met with less success than on his previous visit, losing one of his blind-fold matches, and securing a draw in the other. The fourth chess match, with Taft again as an opponent, resulted in a Kent victory, 5-0. Last year the Chess Club reached its greatest heights, in having a representative team which decisively defeated Vale University, 4-1. The playing of F. Rich on board No. 1 was remarkably fine. Late in the Autumn Term, Mr. Carlos Torre, champion of Mexico, and also of the Western United States, gave an interesting exhibition at the School. He won several consultation matches, and practically all of the games which he played simultaneously. Interest in chess has unfortunately waned this year, due to the departure of Mr. Hilliard. The club was organized early in the fall under the direction of .1. (i. Frothingham, '27, the only remaining member of last year's team. A tournament was l egun, but has not yet been completed. There has l een no one to take Mr. Hilliard's place as instructor of the new fellows at the School who wish to learn the game; consequently, there have been comparatively few who have taken up the game this year. As a result of Mr. Hilliard’s work in former years, however, there is a manifest interest on the part of those who learned the game under his direction, so that a Chess Club is really worth while. The following are the members of the club for 1925-26: Frothingham, ('hair-man; Woodward, Secretary; Mac Willie, Hoffman, Webster, Rhinelander, A. Chase, S. ('lark, Breck, Humphrey, Hyde, Carlisle, Baker, Swavzc, Kauffman, Richmond, Kindleberger, Clement, Handsfield, and Kdey. ATHLETICS THE 1925 CHEW 'T'HE fourth year of rowing at Kent was marked by a very successful season, the first crew having three victories and one defeat to its credit, while the second and third crews defeated the corresponding Choate eights in their only races of the year. A great deal of interest was manifested by the students in establishing six Form crews and practicing faithfully during the entire season for the Inter-class regatta which was won by the Fourth Form. Fifty men besides the first crew reported for work on the machines during the winter. Due to a very early thaw and the excellent work of the managers the crew got off to an unusually early start on Feb. 44nd. The first crew, composed of six letter men besides the coxswain, was seated as follows: bow, R. Cady; 2. 11 el li well; 8, Bose; 1. Pond; 5, E. Cady; fi, Burbank ((’apt.); 7, Murchie; stroke, J. Palmer; and cox, Colmore. About a week l efore the first race several changes were made. L. Good body was put at stroke in Palmer’s place, the latter going to his former place at two. Pease rowed number six. On April 'i'i. the first race of the season was staged on the home course against the Massachusetts Tech. Freshmen. This was won by the school eight in a closely contested race by the narrow margin of half a length. On the following Saturday the Yale 150 lb. Freshmen were decisively defeated by six lengths. The next week saw the crew at Derby for the Yale Interscholastic Regatta. In this Kent was opposed by Choate, Culver, New Rochelle, and Springfield Vocational. Choate’s splendid start gave her the victory by a scant thrce-cpiarter of a length over Culver, who in turn nosed out the school eight by a matter of inches. New Rochelle trailed Kent, a length ! ehind. followed by Springfield. Until the half-mile mark was reached. Choate and Kent were far in the lead, but here Culver began a spurt which carried her over the finish line a few inches ahead of Kent. As was the case the year before, the shell was taken down to Derby for this race. On Wednesday, May 12th. the crew left for Harvard to enter the Harvard Regatta. This year Kent was opposed by Huntington, Lynn Classical High School, and Brookline. The race was held on Friday afternoon. From the start Kent pulled steadily away from its opponents and was a good four lengths in the lead at the finish. At a banquet given the crew at the Dedham Country ('lub by fathers of Kent boys that night the following were awarded their letters: R. Cady, .1. Palmer, Rose, Pond, Burbank ((’apt.). Pease, Goodbody, Col-more and the two managers. Covie and Henderson. Goodbody was then elected captain of the 1926 eight. At a later date F. Harris was appointed manager. As in the preceding year, the second crew listed but one race, which was held with the Choate seconds on the home course. The visiting eight drew away from its competitor at the start; this lead was eclipsed, however, by a superb sprint under stroke Griggs’ excellent leadership. The third crew held its sole race the same day, and shared equal honors with the second eight. These two victories marked the first time that a Kent crew has ever downed a Choate eight. Under Coach Sill’s direction, the Form crews practiced diligently for the annual Inter-class Regatta held May 28th. 1927 proved too strong for its op- ponents and beat 1925 by a narrow margin with 1926 third. In the Junior Regatta the second 1927 combination overcame both 1929 and 1928. Prospects for 1926 do not seem bright as but two letter men. Captain Goodbody, and Pease, besides the cox. Col more, return. This difficulty should be solved by members from the second and third eights. The School has greatly benefited since 1924 by the addition of a new shell for the crew equipment. The money for the purchase of this boat was obtained from the subscriptions of the boys at the School. W. Coyle, Chairman of Rowing, was instrumental in carrying on the business end of this endeavor. The shell which was ordered from Sims and Son of Putney, Kngland, arrived at the School by motor early in March. The boat proved to be very satisfactory, and furnished a very valuable asset to the Kent “navy”, being turned L. S. Goodbody Captain over to the first eight. H. I '.

Losing only to the strong New Haven Hoys' Club and Hotchkiss nines, Kent was victorious in the remainder of the eleven games on the schedule. Westminster, Taft, Berkshire, Pawling, and Choate were numbered among the important victories. A squad of forty candidates reported for practice to Coach M. I). Xadal on Friday, April 3. The five letter men. Captain Jones, J. Cheney, B. Cheney, Muldaur, and Fearing, together with J. Bent, (i. Gammack, Sands, and Froth-ingham, who had won their numerals the previous season, formed a nucleus for the coach to work with. Fearing improved his pitching considerably and developed into one of the best men Kent ever had on the mound. The only two vacant positions in the infield, catcher and 2nd base, were filled by G. Gammack and Stearns respectively, while the veterans, J. Cheney, Muldaur and Jones retained their old berths. B. Cheney, playing his third year on the first team, was moved to center field. Sands was in left field and J. Bent played for half the season at right, until E. Cady took his place. Mr. Xadal was assisted in his coaching by II. B. Bent 24. An unusually good New Haven Boys’ Club team won the season’s first contest, 11-7, on April 18 at Kent. The visitors established a lead in the early innings which the School aggregation was unable to overcome The following Wednesday, Westminster was defeated at Simsbury by a 5-8 count. J. Cheney’s three-base hit was the deciding factor in winning the game. Salisbury took the short end of a 5-1 score on April 25th. due in part to J. Cheney's home run, the longest hit ever made on the Kent diamond. Fearing yielded but three hits and struck out six of the opponents. Playing again on the home grounds it took Kent thirteen innings to overcome the Canterbury School nine, 5-4, on Wednesday the 29th. The visitors tallied four times in the first frame; Kent evened the count in the eighth, and won on Muldaur's sacrifice bunt in the last of the thirteenth. The fourth consecutive victory for the nine was a 3-1 win over Taft, on Saturday, May 2. The work of both pitchers was excellent, while the feature of the contest came in the seventh inning when two pretty bunts by Bent and Stearns put Fearing across the plate for the final run. Kent was the scene of the School’s overwhelming victory over Hopkins Grammar on May sixth: score 22-2. Mul-daur with four hits and a walk was Kent’s leading batter; in addition, he stole five bases. The nine continued its heavy hitting, practice in which had been continually emphasized by Coach Nadal, in the Gunnery game played at Washington the following Friday. Sands’ four hits in five trips to the plate included a triple and a home run. The second defeat of the year was received at the hands of the powerful Hotchkiss nine. This game, which took place at Lakeville on May 13, broke Kent’s string of six consecutive victories. J. Cheney made the only hit for Kent and played well in the field. The season’s ninth contest marked the defeat of Berkshire, 10-1, on May 10. Fearing distinguished himself by striking out nineteen opposing batters, while allowing them only two hits. The Kent players obtained ten hits off Teege, the Berkshire pitcher, for a total of eighteen bases. Captain Jones showed the best fielding play of the game when he made a running stop of Gilbert’s grounder. Kent followed up the previous year’s record by again overcoming Pawling in the next to the last game on the schedule, on Wednesday, May 20. The fact that they were not playing on their home field did not seem to prevent the Kent players from hitting hard. Seventeen hits were obtained from two Pawling pitchers. Thirteen of the Pawling men were struck out by Fearing. 82 T. B. Grandix Manager The season reached its climax on Saturday the 23rd. The great rivals, Choate and Kent, faced each other on the Kent diamond before a large number of spectators, who watched the home team triumph for the season’s ninth time by a 9-2 score. Rain hampered the players considerably in the first two innings ami necessitated the holding up of the contest for a few minutes in the eighth. Fearing kept Choate's seven hits scattered, in only one inning allowing more than one safe hit. He struck out eight batters. B. Cheney hit a beautiful low liner along the third base line in the eighth inning, which resulted in a home run. Choate, however, in spite of the fact that they were always behind in the scoring, did not in the least give up hope and played a creditable game throughout. The coach of the nine, “Bill” Xadal 17, deserves much credit for building up from five letter men an aggregation with so much stamina and versatility. The team's success was due in the most part to him. The Second and Junior teams each played three games. The former lost to the New Haven Boys’ Club seconds, but defeated the Taft seconds, and (ieorgc Junior Republic. South Kent was twice victorious over the Junior Team, who defeated Rumsey Hall. A few days following the conclusion of the season Benjamin Cheney was elected Captain of the 1926 team. Grandin was appointed manager for the coming year. £be Reason Kent Opponents April is New Haven Boys’ Club 7 11 April 22 Westminster 5 3 April 25 Salisbury (six innings) 5 1 April 29 Canterbury (thirteen innings) 5 4 May 2 Taft 3 1 May 6 Hopkins Grammar 22 2 May S Gunnery 12 2 May 13 Hotchkiss 0 0 May 16 Berkshire 10 1 May 20 Pawling 11 2 May 23 Choate 9 2 Total 89 35 Games Won 9 2 — tRie (Tram Name Position Form Fearing Pitcher VI G.

Boys’ Club 8-4 10-0 0-4 In the above scores, those of Kent come first — 'TPHE 1945 tennis team embarked on the most ambitious schedule ever under-A taken by that organization. Out of seven matches played, four were victories for Kent, making quite a successful season. Unfortunately all of the players with the exception of Tewksbury graduated last June, leaving a dearth of letter men for this year. There is, however, much good material in view for Coach Humphreys to round out a good team. All boys who expected to play tennis were called out on April 3 to help Manager Davis fix up the courts. Hv diligent work they were put in playing condition by the next week. The coach selected the five 1944 letter men and Tewksbury for the team. He also arranged the ranking list of fifteen, many of whom played in official matches. The season opened on April 49 at Kent with the Bridgeport High School match. The home team scored an easy victory, winning all seven matches. Captain Palmer and K. Moore played exceptionally well for Kent. Canterbury was easily beaten on May 4. Kent won all but one of the nine matches. The six singles were won without difficulty, Canterbury’s lone score coming in the second doubles. The first defeat was met four da vs later at the . n ii J. ' ■ Iewksburi hands of the Germantown Academy. Palmer finally Captain 89 lost to Wiener after a three set battle,while Moore defeated Strachen for t lie home team’s only point. Kemble and Clarke put up a good fight in the doubles but finally lost. The score was 5-1. The next day the team earned a well deserved victory over Poly Prep. This team had hitherto been undefeated, having scored victories over eight other strong teams. Kemble, Woodward, ('base and Hyde were among Kent’s substitutes. Final score 6-8. The following match with Choate proved to be a disappointment for Kent, the latter losing 8-1. Although all matches were closely contested, K. Moore and P. Rhinelander were our only victors, winning their sets by brilliant net work. Palmer again played a three set match, winning the first set by 6-0. By playing consistently and well against Hotchkiss the next day, Kent won 5-4. W. Langmore played especially well in a long three set match whose last set lasted thirty games. At the Vale Interscholastics during the week-end of May 16 Kent, scoring thirteen points, came in third out of fourteen competitors. Five of Kent’s representatives reached third place while Captain Palmer got as far as the semi-finals before being eliminated by Hill of Ixxmiis after a hard battle. This is the best rank Kent has ever hud at Vale, and she should be justly proud of her record having surpassed eleven other schools among which were Choate and Pawling. After two matches with Berkshire and Westminster were cancelled, the team was defeated by Pawling by the close sc ore of 4-8. Clark and Langmore won their doubles as did Palmer and Moore. Tewksbury was elected Captain for 1946 at the close of the season, and (iott was appointed manager for the coming year. jc Reason Date Opponent Kent Opponent April 49 Bridgeport High 7 0 May 4 Canterbury 8 1 May 8 Germantown Academy 1 5 May 9 Poly Prep 6 8 May 14 Choate 1 8 May 18 Hotchkiss 5 4 May 16-18 May 41 Vale Interscholastics Pawling 3rd place 8 4 tTlk {Ream Xame W.

Many of the second team men were also in this class. This forced Coach Xadal to build a team around Captain Muldaur and Cheney. The excellent work of Hugh Russ 17 was not available and Mr. Xadal had to do almost all the work of coaching. Most of the twenty-five men who reported for early practice were linesmen, and it was therefore necessary to build up a strong backfield. Throughout the season Captain Muldaur could always be relied on in a crisis. Laudable also was the playing of Oakley and L. Goodbody, both of whom played for the whole of every game. B. Cheney’s punts and Oakley’s defensive work were exceptional. The team, however, all through the season showed a weakness in interference and tackling, but strong unity and determination. On the third day of school, September 20, the team met the Xew Haven Boys’ (’lub on the home field. The first half, marred by costly fumbles by the Kent backs, was quite even. In the third period the Boys’ ('lub scored a field goal, and in the fourth quarter they scored again with a touchdown. After this Muldaur made a touchdown, and the game ended 10-7 in favor of the Boys' ( lub. This game showed that the team was strong on the defense but erratic on the offense. The following week Pittsfield High School was defeated by the score of 3-0. Captain Muldaur scored a field goal in the fourth period. In the first half the ball was kept near the middle of the field, but in the last half Kent made several marches up the field only to be stopj edat the goal line. The last of these advances ended with Muldaur’s field goal. A new opponent came to Kent on October 10 in the freshmen team of the 95 C. E. A. Muldaur Captain Connecticut Agricultural College. The hall changed hands constantly, neither team being able to gain any advantage, although both tried drop-kicks. The game ended a scorelss tie. On the seventeenth the team received one of the two decisive defeats of the season, at the hands of the powerful Hotchkiss eleven. Muldaur scored a field goal from the forty-one-yard line, which was Kent's only tally. Hotchkiss, however, scored twenty-six points. On the following Saturday the team went to Pawling. Long runs by Muldaur and Bruce, and passes to Yoorhees were the features of the game, which was played in a cold, driving rain. The final score was 25-6 in Kent's favor. The team was defeated by Berkshire by the score of 13-7, in a very close game on October 81. Although the field was wet, the game was well played. The playing of the Kent team was marred by poor tackling, which fact lost the game, although Kent had the ball on Berkshire’s six-inch line when the final whistle blew. Next week Kent played the veteran Westminster team at Simsbury. Although defeated 27-7, the team played a very commendable game against a heavier and more experienced opponent. Both teams possessed a stronger offense than defense, the touchdowns resulting from steady marches up the field. On Friday the thirteenth the Choate team came to Kent for the final game of the season. It seemed that Kent was the weaker from comparative scores, comparative weights, and comparative material. Therefore the determined fight which this team made will be remembered for many years. One of the outstanding points of the game was Cheney’s excellent punting. The backs on both teams made substantial gains, the most noteworthy of which was the one made by Palmer, who was playing for the first time since the season of 1924. He ran twenty-eight yards to the two-yard line in the last few minutes of play. Muldaur made the touchdown and kicked the goal. It will be noted from this that team work and not individual brilliancy was the cause of the 7-7 tie. H. X. Fowler Manager The second team, again ably coached by Mr. Humphreys, helped much in perfecting the first team. They were defeated by Gunnery, while the games with Canterbury and South Kent resulted in scoreless ties. The Junior team, under the supervision of Bent ‘26, defeated George Junior Republic and the Pawling Third team. 7-fi, and 7-0, respectively. The midget team played only one game. This was with the South Kent Junior team, which was lost 13-6. The four Senior League teams, also coached by Bent '26, were organized early in the fall and formed the nucleus of the Junior team. Team I), of which the captain was Downes, won the seven game series. After supper on the night of the Choate game, L. Oakley was chosen captain and Sayre was elected manager of next year’s eleven. £1)c Reason Date Opponent Kent Opponent September 26 New Haven Boys’ Club 7 10 October 3 Pittsfield High School 3 0 October 10 Connecticut Aggies Freshmen 0 0 October 17 Hotchkiss 3 26 October 24 Pawling 25 6 October 31 Berkshire 7 13 November 7 Westminster 7 27 November 13 Choate 7 7 59 89 Cbc ftecorb of tfjc fteconb {Team Seconds Opponent October 23 Canterbury 0 0 October 30 Gunnery 0 62 November 6 South Kent 0 0 0 62 fCfk ftccorb of ttjc junior (Team Juniors Opponent October 29 George Junior Republic 7 6 November 12 Pawling Thirds 7 0 14 6 Cf)e 1920 ri)ebule Date September 25 Opponent South Kent (pending) New Haven Boys' Club Place Kent October 2 Kent October 9 Gunnery Kent October 16 Hotchkiss Lakeville October 23 Pawling Kent October 31 Berkshire Kent November 6 Westminster Kent November 13 Choate Wallingford 98 eam Years Player Position Height Weight Age on Team Form ('honey Ix'ft End 5.6 158 18 2 VI L.

The 1943 team came through an undefeated season; scoring one hundred and sixty-seven points to its opponents' 15; the 1944 team equalled this record with a harder schedule to face; the 1945 aggregation also established a fine record. Judging from the light of its immediate predecessors the accomplishments of the 1940 hockey team may not appear conspicuous. Consider, however, that of the twelve games played, the majority of them against strong teams, Dartmouth Freshmen were the only group to conquer the sextet. Furthermore, the material at the beginning of the season was not of seasoned veterans as in previous years. With the two remaining letter men and what available men he could find. Coach Sill whipped together a fast, fighting team which improved with age. This improvement is evident from the score of the second Princeton Freshmen game in which the school sextet reaped vengeance and glory in the face of a defeat at the hands of the same team before the C hristmas holidays. The success of the season is due very much to Father Sill, who gave freely of his time and advice on the rink. His untiring efforts were responsible for the strength and spirit which characterized the team, and it is remarkable that Father Sill seems to have a knack of turning out championship teams, though he has never l een on skates as far as it is known. On the Hobart Baker Memorial rink at Princeton, the team met its first defeat in a pre-vacation contest with the Princeton Freshmen. The playing of the school team was ragged due to lack of practice. Captain Cammack did stellar work at goal, but the smooth team work of the yearlings was too much for the team, and the game ended in defeat, 9-3. Kent showed some signs of real hockey in the first period. This brilliance was, however, short lived, and the freshmen broke through the defense for several goals. The team commenced its regular schedule by defeating South Kent, Jan. 9. Lack of practice was evident on both sides, and there was practically no team work. Individual work by Breckenridge, Palmer and Nazro enabled Kent to win by the score of 8-0. MacManus played well for South Kent, but his long shots from the center of the rink never seriously threatened the Kent goal. Sunday, January 10, the team defeated New Haven Hoys’ Club 7-0. Wirtz, the visiting goal tender, played a good game, especially in the first period when he kept the school team from scoring. A practice game with South Kent was played January 18th which the Kent Sextet won 0-4. This contest was arranged in place of the Jamaica High School contest. MacManus and Thompson starred for South Kent, while Palmer with five goals showed some pretty hockey. Pawling was the next victim in a fast game. The ice was excellent in spite of the warm weather. The final score was 3-4. Palmer was the feature of the game and he scored two of the goals by his fast stick-work. At one time he carried the puck through the whole Pawling team to score. Morris, the Pawling goal guard helped materially to keep the score down. Smith of Pawling also played a fine game. Frothingham broke the tied score when there was only twenty-five seconds to play. Unavoidable circumstances necessitated the cancelling of the Jamaica High School and Roxbury games. These teams would have undoubtedly proved easy victims for the school combination. On January 43rd Kent defeated Berkshire 4-0 in the first of the two annual games with this school. Palmer and Grant scored goals early in the first period. Palmer scored his on a spectacular dash through the Berkshire team while Grant shot his goal on a long shot from the side. After these two goals, Monahan kept the rubber out of the Berkshire cage. Thanks to the fine work of goalie Gammack, Berkshire was held scoreless. The game was fast and rough, but neither side was able to take any good shots. Pruyn and Lovering played well for Berkshire. The next two games with Hotchkiss January 4.5, and Canterbury January 47 proved easy victories. Large scores were the features of both games, in the case of the former 7-1, and in the case of the latter 14-0. Mcl ennon made Hotchkiss’ lone tally after a spectacular dash through the whole Kent team. Bickford helped materially to keep the score down for Hotchkiss, but his work was not equal to that of goalie Gammack who played an almost invincible game. Palmer played M. G. Gammack Captain 104 his usual brilliant game by scoring four goals against Hotchkiss and eight against Canterbury. Gammack also starred in the Canterbury game. January UOtli, the strong Princeton Freshmen team was sent to defeat in one of the best hockey games ever seen at Kent. The score was 4-3, and it was necessary to play three extra five minute periods to break the 3-3 tie at the end of the third period, (i. Jones, a Kent Alumnus, and J. Jones played well for the Freshmen, the latter scoring all his team's goals. Captain Gammack made some beautiful stops in the goal. His work coupled with the fine playing of Palmer, who scored three times, were directly responsible for the victory. Kent took the lead right off by scoring twice. The yearlings were not to l c denied in the second period when they scored two goals, and again in the third period when they scored a goal putting them in the lead, 3-2. Palmer tied the score 3-3 by eaging a pretty shot after a dash through the whole Princeton team. Again in the third extra time period. Palmer scored from a scrimmage in front of the cage. The team made the trip to Pomfret, but was unable to play due to a heavy snow storm which arose during the night. Berkshire was defeated at Kent on February (� for the second time. The score was5-0 and, but for the timely stops of Monahan in the Berkshire cage, would undoubtedly have been more. Billings played well for the visitors. Palmer played his usual game, scoring two goals. Dartmouth Freshmen gave the first defeat which a Kent team has suffered on the home rink since 1922. The powerful Freshmen played with such team work that no defense could stop them. They went away victorious, 4-2. Palmer scored both Kent's goals and played a brilliant defensive game. Goalie Gammack made some pretty stops, but the yearling's line was too strong. The last scholastic contest of the season was with Choate at Kent on February 13. This game proved an easy one, the score being 7-2. Palmer again played a fine game, scoring five of the goals. Captain Gammack made some fine stops, while Stoddard of Choate played well for his team. Both the Vale Freshmen and the Canterbury games had to be cancelled because of poor ice. A rather unsuccessful attempt was made to play the Vale game, but it was impossible to play on such soft ice. Gammack was re-elected Captain, and Barry 27, appointed manager of next year’s sextet. The Sixth Form won the championship of the league in an interesting season. 100 (Efje Reason Date Opponent Place Score Jan. 9 South Kent Kent 8-0 Jan. 10 New Haven Boys’ Club Kent 7-0 Jan. 13 South Kent Kent 9-4 Jan. 16 Bawling Kent 3-4 Jan. 43 Berkshire Kent 4-0 Jan. 45 Hotchkiss Lakeville 7-1 Jan. 47 Canterbury New Milford 14-0 Jan. 30 Princeton ’49 Kent 4-3 Feb. 0 Berkshire Kent 5-0 Feb. 9 Dartmouth ’49 Kent 4-4 Feb. 13 Choate Kent 7-4 Total 68-14 H.

As the members of this graduating class are not in a position to do justice to this subject, several Alumni have kindly submitted a few of their impressions of the School as it was while they attended it. These impressions are followed by a brief record of the events of the past twenty years. “I think my first sight of the School was on a Sunday in October, 1906, one day before School was officially opened. Having no pre-coneeived notions of what going to Hoarding School would be like, I wasn’t altogether surprised at what was awaiting us at the Fuller Farm, where School was to open next day. “Boxes of books were piled up high in the yard and on the steps. Crates, mostly unopened, containing desks and School equipment, were in the halls and rooms to be used for recitations. “Upstairs where we were to sleep there weren’t even boxes or crates, for the beds hadn’t arrived. I don’t remember being at all worried about any of this or at the prospect of not having to start in studying immediately. It seems to me that I did worry a bit about where we were going to wash up after wrestling around unpacking the boxes and setting up the equipment. “There wasn’t a place to wash in the house, so at first we solved this difficulty by using the old horse trough and pump up by the barn, and when the urge for real cleanliness became too great, a pail was borrowed from the Fuller family and an improvised shower taken in the barn. “After a week or so the beds arrived and the boxes containing wash basins and pitchers were unpacked and life began to take on a more organized aspect. “We all wore blue flannel shirts except ‘Georgia’ who, if I remember rightly, was too civilized for this, although I never heard him complain of sleeping on the floor. “It didn’t take long to get to know each other under these conditions and we soon began to pair off into little groups. We of the original ‘Sunday School’ managed to l e put in the same room, although we were originally assigned to different quarters. “I very much doubt if cither Blondy, Runty, Jacky, or I. will ever disassociate first impressions at Kent from our ‘Sunday School’ escapades, and about the best times in our lives.’’ Anson B. Gardner, 08. Note—Mr. Gardner was the first boy to arrive at Kent. “Late in September, 1906, Kent School started in the old Fuller Farm which lies on the west bank of the llousatonic about a mile down the river from the village of Kent. Eighteen boys and three masters assembled there to begin the School of which Fr. Sill had dreamed. “Conditions there were very crude as compared with those now existing. Luckily, we were required to wear blue flannel shirts, for a hot-air furnace of distinctly limited capacity, made a feeble attempt to heat the house, so feeble an attempt in fact, that oil stoves were provided the occupants of the bedrooms. These stoves besides taking the worst of the chill from the winter mornings, filled another need, that of heating water for ‘brew’. “There was no'running water in the house that I can recall, but an old pump, midway lndween the house and the barns, took its place, and from this generous supply, when the cold had not put it out of commission, we filled our pitchers and l erformed our ablutions in our rooms in little enamel basins. “The beds, when they arrived, for we slept on mattresses on the floor for several days, proved to have iron slats instead of springs, much to our amazement, but to these, however, we soon became accustomed. “As for organized athletics, including football fields and hockey rinks, tennis courts and baseball diamonds, there were no such animals. We played at these various games, and I l elieve did schedule one or two baseball games, but nevertheless we had plenty of exercise. We walked, climbed mountains, snowshoed, skated on the river and swam in it, diving from the branches of the dead trees that lined its bank; we went canoeing and trapped muskrats in the wee small hours of the winter mornings, and on the whole, had a marvelous time. And we did study, although 1 must confess that my recollections on that section of our life do not stand out as clearly as they might. “On Sunday mornings, we laid aside our flannel shirts which were most advantageous from a laundry point of view, and donned white shirts and stiff collars and walked to town for the service in the little Episcopal Church. We occupied the front pews, right where we couldn't get into too much trouble without getting caught. “In some respects, few events that took place at the old School have a connection with the present organization. Father Sill was with us on occasional visits only; we had no prefect system that year, but of course we had our own jobs. We waited on table, and took care of our rooms. The experiment worked, however, worked and the School has grown and prospered ever since Donald S. McNulty, 01). “Occasional visits to the School cause me to believe that fundamentally the life at Kent today is very much the same as it was in the earlier days, allowing, of course, for the natural changes that are bound to take place in any period of twenty years. One thing that has impressed me is that there seems to l e much less rivalry ! etween the various Forms. I am reminded that the intense rivalry between the classes of 1000 and 1010, for instance, was indirectly the cause of starting several customs which have since become traditions. “This rivalry prompted some of the 1000 fellows to start a little periodical called the ‘Pentagon , so termed because ‘1000’ was then the Fifth Form. Its main object was to boast of deeds of the ‘Fifth Form and to take some ‘wise cracks’ at the ‘Fourth Form . The only copies ever issued were typewritten, but nevertheless the ‘Pentagon was the forerunner of the present ‘Quarterly’ and ‘News’. “It was also to‘put one over’ on the Fourth Form that the Fifth Form class of 1000 painted ‘Numeral Rock’ for the first time. It happened in the early hours of April 1, 1008. The night before, the Class of 1000 spent several hours secretly painting their numerals in green on large sheets of wrapping paper, and in getting together a supply of green paint and brushes. About 4 a. m., Chaun-cey Crawford awakened the other members of the ’Fifth Form’, and we all tiptoed out of our rooms. “The posters were pasted all over the old barn which then stood on the hill where Bill Nadal now resides. They were also pasted on trees and other available places about the School grounds. We then went down the road painting our numerals on every rock big enough to Ik seen. Fortunately, a bright moon lighted our way up the mountain to the big rook which could be seen all over the valley. A rojH was tied around Herliert Gatlin’s waist so that ‘Cam’ Hawkins and I could lower him to a position where he could paint ”09’ in large figures. That finished, we crept back into our rooms and to lied. “Shortly after the rising bell that morning, the ‘Fourth Formers’, led by ‘Doug’ Crawford, discovered our posters and set out to tear them down. A fight ensued, of course. The net result was that the ‘Pater’ called the ‘Fifth Form' before him and read the riot act for defacing the School's property. He made US take down all of our posters which had not already been destroyed by the ‘Fourth Form’, and also scrub our painted numerals from all of the rocks except the big one on top of the mountain. That really wasn’t as much punishment for us as the ‘Pater’ intended, for our whole Form escaped attending classes that morning. Ever since, the painting of Numeral Rock by the Fifth Form has been an annual event.” R. P. Titus, ’09. “I could write reams on the subject. When I first went to Kent, it was quite different from what it is now. There were but eighty boys in the one main building. We all lived under the same roof, and it was much more like a big family than it is now. The School was nowhere near as perfect as to detail and routine as it is now. There is only one thing the boys did have, however, which kept things going, and that was loyalty to the extreme. They may have been guilty of many small infractions of the rules, but if anything came along that really MEM. KLNT YEAR BOO endangered the School in any way, there was nothing that the boys would not do to stop it. Of course you have heard Pater talk of Dave Harris and Harry Horton. It was boys of this type who came not from rich families, but were the salt of the earth. It really was a rigorous life. There were few of the advantages that the boys at the School today have. The football field was covered with nettles; it had an eight-foot drop from one side to the other. The baseball field had an eleven-foot drop from second base to the outfield. I am telling these things to show that they took what they had without any thought of crabbing and made the best of it. George Buck took twelve men over to Pawling about 1913 and l eat a team coached by Tad Jones which had three All American players on it. Mr. Buck went on theory of make them or break them. In the first practice of the year, he always said, ‘Come on, youse guys, a little scrimmage and let’s get rid of the egg-shells’. We would then scrimmage until there were eleven men left and they would Ik the team. In the Choate game, when we beat them 01 to 3, there was but one substitution, and that was because an end put his head between the legs of a fast running Choate man. It was always the survival of the fittest. If you could not stand the gaff, and stay on your feet, you were out of it. In my seven years at Kent, I left the School but once in term time, and that was because of a death. Leaving School was just about unheard of. “I think the thing that shows the spirit of these days more than anything else was the way the teams took unmerciful beatings when we had but two or three substitutes. That, of course, was ten or more years ago. But they always took what was coming to them. I wish that the boys now at Kent could have seen some of those games. Taft l eat us once fifty-six to nothing, and I have never seen a gamer sight in all my life. There were no substitutes and those eleven men stayed in there until the end. As I remember it, Yates Pennington, the quarter back, was carried off at the end. Van den Arend played quarter the year l efore, with nothng on but shoes, stockings, baseball pants and a jersey. He was as fast as could Ik and was never knocked out. “They worked hard, played hard, took what was coming to them, and always came up with a smile.” S. S. Bartlett, ’18. l ecorb of Cbents of Jfirgf Cuientp Sears March, 11)00: A prospectus was sent out concerning the founding of Kent School.
