THE KENT SCHOOL Jforetoorb T HE GRADUATING CLASS offers this Year Book to the friends of Kent as a photographic and journalistic record of the occurrences of the Spring and Fall Terms of 1933, and of the Winter Term of 1934. We have endeavored to be original in our pre¬ sentations of the various departments of school life, and we hope that the changes from previous form which we have made will meet with the ap¬ proval of those who read this book. We offer our sincere thanks to Mr. Clifton K. Loomis for his generous aid as literary critic, and to Mr. R. P. Titus for his helpful collaboration as business advisor. i Page four YEAR BOOK 1934 Contents Dedication . 3 Foreword . 4 Views of the School . 6 Faculty . 14 Department Prize Winners . 21 Prefects . 23 Council . 25 Graduating Class . 27 Class Lives . 28 Class History . 59 Charter Members of the Class of 1934 . 75 The Forms . 77 Musical Organizations . 89 Bells . 94 Art Room . 95 News Board . 96 News . 97 Year Book Board . 98 Debating . 99 Dramatics . 100 Alumni Association . 102 Fathers’ Association . 103 Cum Laude Society . 104 Crew . 107 Baseball . 115 Tennis . 121 Football . 127 Hockey . 133 Basketball .-. 139 Track . 143 Winners of the Athletic Cup . 144 Athletic Records .-. 145 Directory . 154 Advertisements .157 Page five j CHAPEL TOWER AND CLOISTERS MAIN BUILDING Whr. „ 1 rMHU ,_ djj9K| L iTm tj5T-;‘ ' JJH irm, m -mr- ■WHFIIf ' T( JG A ' W] Wp||| ®rf J ft m 1 v ; S K? ,r-- ' •:% r 4rv -f % - ' A S E2ir!

Flagler Page twenty-three THE COUNCIL YEAR BOOK 1934 )c Council I TNLIKE the student councils of most preparatory schools, the Kent Council has almost complete charge of disciplinary matters concern¬ ing the School, only the most severe offenses ever being referred to the Headmaster or Faculty. It might well be termed the “back-bone” of the Self-Help System as exemplified at Kent, for it relieves the masters of all extra-curricular duties with the exception of coaching, placing the gov¬ erning of the School almost entirely in the hands of the Student Body. The Council is composed of eleven members, three from the Fourth Form, three from the Fifth, and five from the Sixth Form. The Fourth and Fifth Forms choose six nominees each, from whom their representa¬ tives on the Council are elected by a ballot of the entire School. The five Sixth Form members are the three Prefects, who are appointed by Father Sill, and two others voted to the Council by the Senior Class. The elec¬ tions are usually held on or near the first of May when the Student Ad¬ ministration of the School changes hands. Originally, in the constitution drawn up by R. P. Titus in the fall of 1908, the Council was to consist of the three Prefects and four others, two from the Fourth and two from the Fifth Forms, but as the School grew it became necessary to make it larger. In 1927 Father Sill and the Alum¬ ni Council suggested that four more members be added, but when this amendment was submitted to the School it was not carried, and it was not until the next year that the Council was enlarged. The duties of the Council are manifold: it receives complaints and suggestions from both the Student Body and Faculty, acts as a mouthpiece for Father Sill and the Assistant Headmasters, and takes care of all routine discipline such as supervising Study Hall and assemblies. It also makes reports to the Alumni Council and Fathers’ Association when they pay their yearly visits to the School. During the past year the following have served on the Council: For¬ rest Cranmer, 1934, Chairman ; William Bradford Craig, 1934, Secretary ; Francis Cowles Cady, 1934; Peter Stuart Hay Moore, 1934; Robert Gor¬ don Donald, 1934; Cyrus Roberts Vance, 1935; Robert Lodington Jackson, 1935; Beekman Budd, 1935; Frederic Roberts Blair, 1936; James Harri¬ son Stanton, 1936, Sergeant-at-Arms ; Gifford Ladd, 1936.

Page fifty-eight YEAR BOOK 1934 Jltfitorp of tfjc Oasis of 1934 RABBI I T WOULD be safe to say that the Class of 1934, one week after its col¬ lective arrival under the shadows of Mount Algo, was among the more unpopular forms in the School. It would also be safe to say that after two weeks of its rather hectic ex¬ istence the Class of 1934 was the most unpopular form in the School. We evinced, in these early days, a great tendency to disregard almost wholly the pursuit of higher knowledge, and turned our atten¬ tion to the more important phases of School life, such as the throwing of wet paper towels. It was during this shady chapter in our history that one of our number earned the dubious reputation of having “an international mind”, which accounted for his amazing inability to turn his mammoth in¬ tellect toward the more mundane matters of local life. The Form took on a slightly more orderly tone, however, after the election of “Rudy” Cranmer to the pres¬ idency; the very fact that he has been reelected every sub¬ sequent year to that office speaks i n itself for his cap¬ able leadership. We were very fortunate in arriving here during the season in which “Freddy” Ford led an undefeated foot¬ ball team to brilliant tri¬ umphs. Another pleasing as¬ pect of this victorious season was the football banquet held in the Dining Hall, after the Choate game, at which we, as Juniors and Midgets, watched breathlessly the awarding of letters to the unbeaten first team. With the football season over, we waited, rather impa¬ tiently, for the arrival of ice, in order to demonstrate our prowess on skates. Hockey, ANDY RUDY GIBBLETS SNAKE Page fifty-nine THE KENT SCHOOL however, was thrust momentarily into the background with the advent of our first Thanksgiving Day at the School. Many parents and friends came up for the occasion, and watched us dispatch turkey and cider until well into the afternoon. CHICK BAETJ RED After Thanksgiving we divided our time evenly between skating and manufacturing calendars on which to mark off the number of days before the always far-off Christmas vacation. To most of us who soon learned that “there’s many a slip twixt one bank of the pond and the other’’, the perform¬ ance of the first hockey team seemed little short of superhuman, and we watched and marveled at the two pre-season practice games the team played with South Kent. Eventually the mirage-like vacation material¬ ized, and along with the rest of the School we de¬ parted for our respective abodes, after much final dusting of the bedrails. Our complete dispersion was temporarily delayed, for a large number of us watched the School sextet lose in a thrilling match in Madison Square Garden to the Morris¬ town team. After a vacation which seemed to melt away all too quickly, we returned to School to resume our winter activi¬ ties. Snowballs were flung with reckless abandon (and resultant hours), form hock¬ ey teams were organized, and some fellows reported to Mr. Moore, who was in charge of a squad which got its ex¬ ercise each day by wrestling. Our form hockey team was particularly successful, emerging from the winter’s struggle leading league C. Returning from the Spring vacation we took our choice of the three sports Page sixty YEAR BOOK 1934 open to us, and plunged into them with zeal. Despite the fact that we had no representatives on the first crew, baseball or tennis teams, they seemed to manage somehow. The Crew climaxed its season’s work by sailing for England in June, there to take part in the Henley Regatta, where they reached the semi-finals. One of the most exciting incidents of the spring term here was the occurrence of a forest fire behind Mount Algo, which grew steadily larger and nearer, until some of the older boys were granted permis¬ sion to sally forth to combat it. Their efforts, to¬ gether with a thunderstorm, helped to extinguish the blaze, but one of our choicest memories is of clandestinely stealing onto the roof of the Main Building after lights to watch the crimson glow in the sky. The Class of 1934 returned the following fall, not as lowly brats, but rather as important Third Formers. Other classes, it is SCRAPPY true, had difficulty in realiz¬ ing our importance, but it was always perfectly clear to us. Our Form had been aug¬ mented somewhat, and we were privileged to study in the Study Hall with the other Upper Formers. We still re¬ turned occasionally, however, to the Second Form room to intimidate the Class of 1935, either bv hyperbolic tales of BILL “last year’’ or, as was neces¬ sary in several instances, by actual brute force. Second Formers also carefully avoid¬ ed West Hall after dark. We were the last Form regularly to occupy West Hall’s labv- rinths, as before our Third Form year was over we moved into the new and sump¬ tuous North Dorm, which, to¬ gether with the new Chapel, was completed at that time. Although our own ath- FRAN letic attempts were still con- BENBOW JOE Page sixty-one THE KENT SCHOOL WHIZ fined to the Midget and Junior leagues, we could for the second year in succession write proudly home about our undefeated football team, which, under Sid Towle’s leadership, subdued all our annual rivals. In a game witnessed by practically the entire Student Body, it defeated Choate at Wallingford in a pouring rainstorm. Upon our re¬ turn to School, the stories of some of our activities in the metropolis of Waterbury would have made the Baron Munchausen feel very small and insig¬ nificant indeed. Thanksgiving came and went, with hockey be¬ ing organized soon afterwards. Then came our sec¬ ond Christmas vacation, in which, despite the de¬ feat of the hockey team at the hands of Morristown, we managed to amuse ourselves. We remember the winter of 1931 as being, with the exception of that of 1934, the coldest during our stay at Kent. Not only the first team, but practi¬ cally everybody at the School enjoyed the rinks on the foot¬ ball fields every day. Our Form hockey team won the championship of league B, af¬ ter a close struggle with the third Fourth Form team. Its genius was recognized, and Captain Craig was awarded a puck at the annual hockey banquet. In the Spring vacation which came soon afterwards some of us attended the Tes- J0E timonial Dinner given to Father Sill at the Hotel Com¬ modore, upon the occasion of his birthday and the twenty- fifth anniversary of the founding of the School. Our Form came back to School at the end of the vacation on the morning train as we had been told that we were to move in¬ to the new dormitory, but much to our chagrin we dis¬ covered on arriving here that HOLY it was still incomplete. This DOUG DAVE Page sixty-two YEAR BOOK 1934 early arrival brought on an incident which foreshadowed the gloomy des¬ tiny of our attempts at evasion of the law. Two of our number, upon dis¬ covering that their early arrival was for naught, and missing the joys of the past two weeks, decided to pluck the forbidden fruit of freedom and hitch-hike to New Milford to see a movie. What was their horror and ultimate sorrow to find that one of the first cars that they “thumbed” contained none other than Assistant Headmaster “Bill” Nadal, who viewed their plans with a tinge of disapproval. An additional bit of excitement was provided by the destruction of the “Old School” by fire. This building, which had originally housed Kent School, was over one hundred years old, and was quite a landmark in the countryside. However, we soon settled down to the enjoyable Spring term, one of the outstanding events of which w T as the first re¬ cital of the Bell Ringers’ Guild, given the night be¬ fore our first Easter in the BILL new Chapel. The bells were the gift of Mr. Humphrey, President of the Fathers As¬ sociation, and soon a surpris¬ ing variety of tunes, some quite spontaneous, were mas¬ tered by the Guild under the tutelage of Mr. Attwater. Athletically the Spring Term was a success, particu¬ larly for our Form, as mem¬ bers of it dominated the Jun¬ ior baseball field; we had three form crews on the river daily, and some of us helped to keep the Junior tennis team’s record an unbroken string of victories. Two interesting events of the Spring Term which helped to make the time fly until the Summer Vacation were Fathers’ Day, held at the time the Class of 1932 took over the administration of the School, and the Sixth KELSO Form House Party, at which zip DICK SATCHEL Page sixty-three THE KENT SCHOOL LARRY many charming guests were present to take part in the two dances held during the week-end. For the first time, our Form nominated Council members, Cranmer, Craig, and Cady being chosen from the nominees by the School. Came June at last, and again we departed for home and vaca¬ tion, leaving the Fourth, Fifth, and Sixth Formers to undergo the inevitable “boards”. How we were to appreciate our lost freedom when, a year later, we saw the Second and Third Formers depart cheerily, abandoning us to our fate! The musical talent of our Form was brought to light during this year with the organization of a Junior Jazz Band, composed mainly of Third Form¬ ers. This orchestra soon supplanted the senior one, and with the cooperation of Mr. Gleason, has for the past three years serenaded us on Saturday nights in the Dining Hall, adding not a little to the enjoyment of that meal. Just as, as Third Form¬ ers, we had returned with a sense of overwhelming supe¬ riority to all such crass beings as Second Formers, how am¬ plified was our attitude when we commenced our Fourth Form year, the opening of which, incidentally, was post¬ poned two weeks because of the infantile paralysis epi¬ demic which was raging throughout the country. By this time we were really part EBEN of the elite of the School, or so it seemed anyway, and we were duly proud of such signs of our maturitv as our repre¬ sentation on the awe-inspir¬ ing Council. One of the major inno¬ vations of this year was the temporary advent of Mr. Franklin to the Faculty, in the capacity of English mas¬ ter. Mr. Franklin was a master from Westminster School in London, coming TOM HERSHEY LAMAR Page sixty-four YEAR BOOK 1934 LURE here to teach for a year while Mr. Gleason represented Kent there. He was our crew coach, but more of that later. In the athletic calendar of the year we witnessed the first defeat of a Kent football team, but this was atoned for by a victory over Hotchkiss. The team later lost to Choate; some consolation, however, could be found in the fact that Kent was the only organization which crossed Choate’s goal line during its entire season. The winter of 1932 was not too conducive to hockey, the mercury, except for a few downward excursions, hovering quite consistently above the freezing mark. This unfortunate condition led to the Student Body’s turning to other forms of recrea¬ tion for its exercise, with the result that many am¬ bitious souls took part in what seemed like state¬ wide paper chases. Our muscles ache to think of the gruelling games of cross-country touch football that we played, using the bridge as one goal and the Red Barn as the other. Many of us joined the Wood Chop¬ pers Timber Union to get our daily exercise, the initials of which organization always slightly confounded outsiders who knew not their local im¬ port. One enterprising group in our Form constructed a to¬ boggan slide, of no mean BRANNON length, and replete with breath-taking curves, above Mr. Walker’s football field. With the advent of snow, to¬ boggans, made of several skiis nailed together, were rushed up to the slide, but up¬ on arrival there, the tobog- ganists discovered that they had to wait until Mr. Nadal had “okayed” it. This took some time, the rest of the af¬ ternoon in fact, for after his first trial run, it appeared so mike dangerous and breath-taking GUBBY v “ : 1 SINK Page sixty-five THE KENT SCHOOL that he must needs continue to test it. The next day, however, he being busy, and the snow still plentiful, the tobogganists had a chance to try it for themselves. The hockey team FRITZ DIMPS SHANGHAI had a fairly successful season, and we followed it all the more enthusiastically as Whiz Craig of our class was on its second line, thus making himself the first of our Form to play on a varsity organization. While the mildness of the weather saddened hockey enthusiasts, it proved of some benefit after all, as it brought about the unprecedented spectacle of crews going for a row in the middle of January. Such a thing had never happened before in the maritime history of the School. Another highlight of the winter term was the first dramatic production given during our years at Kent. The play, “The Turning of the Tide”, was presented in three acts by the Fifth Form, and was received with almost hyster¬ ical applause by the Student Body, rivaling, in its suc¬ cess, any Broadway produc¬ tion. The play was supposed to have been written by a promising young playwright, “Hamilton Hall”, who, much to every one’s surprise, ulti¬ mately turned out to be none other than Pater himself. The joyful tenor of School life was immeasurably saddened by the death of John Elser, of the Class of 1932, on Thursday, January the twen¬ ty-first, just at the time that the “lights” bell was ringing for the rest of the School. The whole School, particularly the members of his Form and those who knew him well, felt John’s death deeply. It was at this time that the School’s first basketball team was organized under the leadership of Roscoe and with Mr. Titus and Mr. Bart- MILKY Page sixty-six YEAR BOOK 1934 lett as coaches. A close match was played with Canterbury in which the latter team emerged with a slightly larger score. However, the organi¬ zation of such a team was an excellent idea as it provided a winter activity for many. Towards the end of the term we greeted the advent of George Washington’s birthday, as not only was it a fine thing to honor the Founder of our Country, but also because on that day we got our customary holiday. The Spring vacation which came soon after also provided a welcome interlude in our academic ca¬ reers. We returned in March, and continued keeping our Lenten resolution of attending Chapel every noon to hear the Sixth Formers speak. This pleasant tradition was terminated with the arrival of Easter, after which we settled down to serious work, with a lways the terrifying admonition of our masters ringing in our ears, “You’ll never pass the boards in June.’’ HERBIE HANK chesty Even the quest for scho¬ lastic honors, however, was unable to keep us from par¬ ticipating in the always pleas¬ ant Spring athletics. The an¬ nual argument over the rela¬ tive merits of crew, tennis, and baseball was once more renewed, proving as always nothing, each sport receiving a large following. Both the baseball and tennis teams had favorable seasons. The high¬ light of these Spring activi¬ ties was furnished by the crew, in the invitation School¬ boy Regatta held here to commemorate the tenth anni¬ versary of Kent rowdng. Our crew won the regatta handily, defeating in the process, such rivals as Tabor, Springfield, and Hun. In the Form Re¬ gatta, our second boat created quite a sensation when it outrowed our first crew and then went on to defeat the FERRY NICK Page sixty-seven THE KENT SCHOOL JO-JO Sixth Form to put itself in the finals; but there it met a superior Fifth Form crew which won by a length. We saw the Class of 1933 take over the administration of the School, and we accordingly considered ourselves one rung higher in the figura¬ tive ladder leading to graduation. We took part, in early June, in the inter-form track meet on Field Day, but we had little success, and the meet devel¬ oped into a duel between the Fifth and Sixth Forms, in which after much keen competition, the former secured a victory by a slim margin. Prize Day arrived, the Class of 1932 graduated, and we settled down for our first Cram Week and ensuing Boards. Many of us have fine memories of evenings in Cram Week when, after a hearty supper and a pipe on the porch of the Dining Hall, we took part in sparkling games of baseball, played on the first team field with a soft ball. Our first taste of Boards proved not to be so bitter as we had expect¬ ed, and, mirabile dictu, sev¬ eral of them were even passed, thus more than ful¬ filling some of our wildest dreams. This ordeal over, we departed, hot but happy, for vacation. We returned in the Fall of 1932 in the midst of a fev¬ erish political campaign, which had its intrigues and machinations in School as well as in the outside world. Parties were Quickly formed, the banners of the Republi¬ cans, Democrats, Socialists, and Communists being rep¬ resented. We are ashamed to admit it, but the Red element of the School was almost en¬ tirely composed of members of our class, three enterpris¬ ing members of it even writ¬ ing to the Communistic Head¬ quarters in New York for propaganda. On election eve SHERMIE SMOKY SHOUMY FRUIT Page sixty-eight YEAR BOOK 1934 STIRGE a straw vote was held, with Herbert Hoover receiving a sweeping victory. Second honors were won by Norman Thomas, who outdistanced Roose¬ velt by six votes. Although getting off with a shaky start, the football team turned in a decisive victory over Westminster by the score of 19-0. After losing to Berkshire, the team put up a fine fighting game against a much heavier Taft eleven, succumbing in the last two minutes after leading all the rest of the final period. This game took its toll in injuries, however, and with the ab¬ sence of Stanton felt heavily, the team lost to Choate by 40-7. In the banquet held in the Study after the season, letters were awarded to Craig and Cady of our Form, with the former also being chos¬ en to lead the team for the season of 1933. A spe¬ cial award of “K2nds” was made to members of the undefeated Second team, which under the fine coaching of Mr. Walker, and the spirited captaincy of Beekman Budd, won most of its games from the first teams of the opposing schools. Of our number J. An¬ drews, R. Smith, Dunham, Borland, and Sturgis were awarded the new insignia. At the same time R. Abbe and Allison were announced as Chairman and Manager for 1933. During the first few weeks of the fall term, a Sixth Form Dramatic Society was organized, with LaFarge in the role of director. This out¬ fit competently staged Oscar Wilde’s The Importance of Being Ernest with the ex¬ pert assistance of Messrs. Baker and Morgan of the faculty. The term passed smooth¬ ly; the customary Thanksgiv¬ ing festivities, at which Gov- TINY ernor Cross and Dr. Angell, PETE Page sixty-nine THE KENT SCHOOL WHIFF President of Yale University, were the guest speakers, being succeeded by the organization of both hockey and basketball squads. The former had several practice sessions in the New Haven Arena, in preparation for its annual game with Morristown in the Garden, while the latter demonstrat¬ ed its prowess with a victory over Canterbury. After a pleasant Christmas vacation we once more settled down to school life, after hearing the reassuring news that the hockey team had beaten Morristown in Madison Square Garden, thus giv¬ ing us two legs on the beautiful Ranger Trophy, and leaving its permanent fate up to the team of 1934. Although there was not so much ice as has been our good fortune to have in years past, several days of good skating were enjoyed by the School in general, and the team took advantage of several cold spells to play eleven games, of which they won seven and tied one. Throughout the season our class was well represented on the team as Craig and J. Andrews were on the first line, Cady on the defense, and C. Andrews and Borland on the third line. At the conclusion of the season Cady was elected captain for the following year, and from a wealth of managerial material Morgan and Coit were chosen Chairman and Manager, respectively. The basketball team, captained by Tully, and coached by Messrs. Smith and Bartlett, also had an excellent season for such a young organization, turning in a record at the end of its schedule of eight victories in thirteen starts. Perhaps the crowning achievement of the season was the defeat of Choate by the score of 28-24. At the conclusion of the season a banquet was held at which R. Jack- son ’35 was elected to the captaincy for the coming year with David Craig being appointed as manager. The rest of the term passed quickly, and we journeyed home for vacation with the fact echoing in our ears that shortly after our return we should be allowed to take over the administration of the School. This thought speeded vacation, and we came back eagerly only to find that there was still quite some time before May first. The day arrived at last, however, and following the traditional cus¬ tom, we trooped up to Numeral Rock to let the sur¬ rounding country-side know, by means of a large GASSY black 34 on a yellow background, that our Form STEAMBOAT Page seventy YEAR BOOK 1934 had assumed control of the School After the white 33 had been covered, and the entire rock painted, there was a mad scramble for paint brushes, cans, and bits of paint-smeared rope to hang - proudly on the walls of our rooms. We descended from the rock with a feeling of proud exaltation at the accomplishment of an event for which many of us had waited four years, and some even longer. The formal change of administration took place this same evening; Cranmer, Craig, and Cady were appointed prefects, P. Moore sub-prefect, and he along with Donald was elected by the Form to represent us in the Student Council. C. Andrews was announced as President of the News, and the new list of inspectors was made public. Shortly afterwards the first taking up of lights by the Class of 1934 occurred, a never-to-be- forgotten thrill in our school careers. What was our horror to arise a few mornings later and find that the results of our handiwork on Numeral Rock had been defiled in the night by some despicable and anonymous villains who had poured inglorious red paint on our glorious black and yellow. The event failed to strike Pater’s sense of humor, and an investigation was set on foot, which, lucki¬ ly for us, proved that some one outside of the School had been the agent of evil. The upshot of the affair was that Numeral Rock was again painted as we desired it. The athletic phase of the spring term soon got under way, with the organization of baseball, tennis, and crew. The Crew, pointing for Hen¬ ley, scored triumphs successively over the Harvard 150 pound Varsity and the Yale heavy Freshmen, topping these victories by winning the second School-boy regatta. The baseball team was likewise successful, while the tennis team was probably the best that Kent has ever had, los- iny only to the superior Choate and Yale Freshman teams. As in base¬ ball, so in tennis, the election of the captain was postponed until the fol¬ lowing year. Prize Day arrived, followed shortly afterwards by the departure of the majority of the Sixth Form, leaving us in sole control of the School. The undefeated crew departed for Henley, with Humphreys and Baetjer representing our Form. Throughout the following weeks we followed their activities in the papers, and were indeed proud when they returned bringing with them the trophy emblematic of their victories. While abroad Baetjer was elected captain for the next year. After a fleeting Board week we hastened to our respective homes, looking forward to our Sixth Form year with eagerness, and looking back at our Fifth Form year with pleasant recollections of many enjoyable moments, perhaps the warmest memories being of the jovial Wednesday evenings spent in Pater’s study. As Sixth Formers we came back two days early to help get the School in shape, for this our last year. We found the School slightly changed Page seventy-one THE KENT SCHOOL physically, as during the summer months a dam had been constructed, along with a new bridge, damming up the creek behind the Dining Hall. This enabled us to enjoy swimming in the hot September afternoons, as well as providing, under winter’s chilly touch, a much enlarged space for skating and hockey. We soon settled down to serious work, all the while enjoying the privileges accorded the Sixth Form such as the afternoon tea, and bridge soirees in the Study. The football team, after starting off by winning its first two games against Hackley and Milford, seemed to have difficulty in maintaining the pace, and lost the next games of the schedule. Halbert of our class was awarded a place at guard on the all-state team. There was much argument as to the relative prowess of the Fifth and Sixth Form football players, and so an interform match was arranged. Our team, coached by none other than Father Sill, scored a scintillating 6-0 victory, when “Red” Bancroft intercepted a pass and romped across the goal line for the only score. The stellar playing of quarterback “Kelso” Davis was the high light of the game. Later it was discovered that Lindsay had overheard the Fifth Form signals on that fatal pass, but all’s fair in, war. We were granted the privilege of attending the Yale-Princeton grid¬ iron encounter in New Haven in December, the contest being won by a superior Tiger eleven 27-2. All those who went, and this number included practically the entire Form, had a fine time, as the weather was ideal, the game exciting, and the fact that many of us were heading for one or the other of the universities lent additional zest to the afternoon. The remainder of the Fall term passed even more rapidly than did its predecessors; before we knew it we had forsaken touch games and woodchopping! for hockey. Squads were organized, and several days of practice were enjoyed before the term ended. Basketball was also well under way when we broke up for Christmas. Following a long Christmas vacation, which lasted well into January, we once more gathered to take up the work of the Winter term. Unlike the past two winters that we had had, this one ' had all the chilly blasts that we could want. For days at a stretch the thermometer never gave a reading above the tens, and once it went down to twenty-four below. The river froze fast and two rinks were constructed on it which, together with two on the pond and the First team rink on the field, gave all an opportu¬ nity to try out their prowess at hockey. The School hockey team had a fine season, losing only to the Yale Freshmen and defeating all their school opponents with the exception of ties with Lenox and Taft, but as both these organizations were later beaten by teams that we had downed, we could certainly call it the best team in the vicinity. Our Form team fol¬ lowed in its footsteps closely, winning the league A pennant after taking a two game series from the Fourth Form in a playoff of the tie with which the season ended. rage seventy-two YEAR BOOK 1934 Allison, Myerle, and Watrous, becoming inspired by the Muse, wrote a musical sketch about the School which will long be remembered at Kent. The chorus, composed of the huskiest sirens of our Form, brought down the house with its grace and elegance; but even this was surpassed in the Coffee Room scene in which the various members of the faculty were bur¬ lesqued. Another Sixth Form dramatic society worked on the staging of a comedy by Patch ’35, but this promising playwright became sick and the project was abandoned. A debating society has been formed, and it is rumored that debates are to be held with outside talent. However, be¬ cause of the fact that the Year Book must be on its way to the printers, it is not our privilege to be able to chronicle the results of this enterprise and the other closing events of our last winter here at School, nor can we write of the happenings of the Spring Term which will be the closing chapter of our lives here at Kent. But before we lay down our pen it is fitting that we should express our sincere gratitude to Pater for his five years of benevolent patience with our follies, and tender our heartfelt thanks to the members of the faculty who have so unselfishly given us of their time. We shall always look back upon our years here as among the happiest in our lives; our sentiments upon ending our School careers are perhaps best expressed by the phrase in the School song: “We’ll recall it with affection, We’ll recall it too with pride.” Page seventy-three THE CLASS OF 1934 TAKEN IN 1929 YEAR BOOK 1934 Charter Jtlemtjers of tfje Class of 1934 Forrest Cranmer, President Edward Howard Abbe Henry Sage Dunning, Jr. Robert Barstow Abbe Eben Clarke Hall Gordon Frederick Allison Hamilton Heyl John Cheney Andrews Isaac Richmond Hoxie, Jr. Charles Andrews Guy Michael Humphreys Richard Wolcott Bancroft Henry McKesson Paul Humphrey Barbour, Jr. John Stewart Moore Otis Tiffany Barnes Howard Ellis Myerle William Rives Borland Henry Stebbins Noble Maxwell Leverett Brainard George Austin Piersol Beekman Budd Bruce Beach Randall, Jr. Francis Cowles Cady Nicholas Cabell Read John Church Robert Thayer William Bradford Craig Floyd Williams Tomkins, Jr. Douglas Craig Curtis Abner Alexander Towers, Jr. Richard Arthur Davies Livingston Day Watrous Franck Kelso Davis William Bryar White, Jr. William Berrian Dayton John McCulloch Wilkins Peter Van Cleef Dingman Beaumont Whitney Wright Robert Gordon Donald Of these, seven have left the School, one has already graduated, and five have dropped back into the Class of 1935.

Once more the Glee Club has enjoyed a pleasurable and successful season under the capable direction of Mr. Gilliam, and it has given sev¬ eral commendable concerts before enthusiastic audiences. The repertoire was composed of widely-diversified songs, including many difficult num¬ bers, and the Club is to be congratulated for its merited success. The Quartet this year has been laboring under a handicap as a result of sickness on the part of one of its members, but in spite of this difficulty as well as its lack of experience, it has achieved excellent results. Hewes, Wood, Sherman and Parker composed the regular foursome, with Brown substituting for Hewes during the latter’s illness. With the addition of six new members from the lower forms, the Orchestra has been greatly strengthened this year, and under Mr. Gil¬ liam’s direction it has done some fine work. At Thanksgiving and at other performances later in the year it was well received, the numbers be¬ ing played with confidence and spirit. Throughout the year the Jazz orchestra has proved a great success in its performances on Saturday evenings in the Dining Hall. Many of the members of this organization have worked together for four years, and this factor has helped to produce the fine unison of the group. There has been a remarkable improvement in the music in the Chapel, and many visitors and alumni have commented highly upon the rendition of the Missci de Angelis, the new plainsong setting for the mass which was adopted this year. Mr. Gilliam has organized form choirs which meet once a week, and as a result there appears to be renewed enthusiasm in the Chapel singing. The Music Room in the North Dormitory has been an important addi¬ tion to the music department this year. Here many fellows take advan¬ tage of the radio to hear various concerts and operas, and also in this room Mr. Gilliam has arranged to give a course in music appreciation for Sixth Formers, which has proved popular. From the above paragraphs, it is evident that the musical organiza¬ tions are indeed prospering, and we wish to express to Mr. Gilliam the greatest appreciation for his untiring efforts devoted in their behalf, while at the same time we hope that his success will both continue and increase in years to come.

They were poured in England and arrived at Kent just as the Chapel was completed. Although hampered at the opening of the school year by the loss of several experienced ringers through graduation, the guild has progressed in the difficult art of change ringing far beyond any previous Kent band. It has mastered several touches of over five hundred changes each, and as only two members will graduate this June, the Kent Guild is well on the road to accomplished ringing. Some interest has been shown in learning hand-bell ringing. Although the system followed is similar to that used in ringing the Tower Bells, it is much more difficult because each person must ring two bells. One mem¬ ber of the group, along with Instructor Attwater, has overcome the diffi¬ culties so that he can play four bells simultaneously. Last year the chimes were played by a student not a member of the Ringer’s Guild. This year, however, the chimer is a member of the first band. The chimes are rung every Sunday, and the Tower bells four times a week. THE BELL RINGERS GUILD Top Row—Terry, Stayer, Westlake, Stevens, Wheelock.

Page ninety-four YEAR BOOK 1934 c $3rt Boom L AST Summer Kent was chosen, with a few other schools, to receive from the Carnegie Corporation, the gift of a complete set of refer¬ ence books on the subject of art, and a most comprehensive collection of photographs and prints of the works of many great artists. During the Fall Term this collection was put in what had formerly been the Faculty Common Room, in the annex to the Auditorium, and arranged and cata¬ logued so that by the beginning of the Winter Term it was ready to be opened to the School. It was then placed under the charge of a commit¬ tee of Sixth Formers, who in turn take charge of it afternoons during the week, and on free evenings. The thanks of the School are due the Carnegie Corporation for this gift, and Mr. Worthington for the time and effort that he has put into arranging the Art Room. The Art Room helps greatly to round out the program of opportunities for independent study offered at Kent, and since its opening many have taken advantage of its abundant supply of inter¬ esting material. The members of the committee which has taken charge of the Art Room this year are: P. Moore, T. Evans, E. Hall, L. Holt, H. Noble, E. Stevenson, J. Parke, G. Chapman, D. Cross, N. Shoumatoff, and F. Cran- mer.

How it maintains the contact between the School and the Alumni, who receive it regularly through the provisions of the Alumni Association, how it keeps parents and friends constantly informed as to what takes place about the School, all who subscribe to the publication understand. With¬ out it, the relations between the School and those interested in its welfare would be severed. The editors, realizing the importance and necessity of the paper, continually endeavor to uphold a high standard in the quality of writing and in the manner of presenting the material. At the beginning of the School year, after much thought and delibera¬ tion, the News decided to change its printer; and accordingly the job of publishing the paper was switched from the Eagle Printing and Binding Company of Pittsfield to the Times Print Shop in New Milford. The News joined this year the Daily Princetonian Association of Pre¬ paratory School Newspapers, founded by the Daily Princetonian. The purpose of this federation, which is composed of thirty members, is to provide the means for preparatory school editors to obtain advice and help on journalistic matters. At a meeting of the Connecticut School Newspaper Federation, of which Kent is a charter member, last fall, it was decided to abolish the weekly federation letter, and substitute in its place a summary, to be sent out at the end of each term, of the semester’s athletic activities and events that would be of interest to outside schools. Thus the necessity for the former twenty-five dollar fee was obviated. Deerfield was elected presi¬ dent for the coming year. A new column was instituted during the past year, entitled “Our In¬ ner Sanctum”. Each week it deals with either a department or organiza¬ tion of the School, describing in detail its function and manner of opera¬ tion. The School Notes, “From Field House to Boat House”, which were established last year, have proved a great success. Students, alumni, and friends have all agreed, upon being questioned, that the column is both interesting and informative. The “Publication Fee”, which was also begun by the 1933 Board, is again in effect, and as last year, greatly simplifies and improves the old method of obtaining News and Year Book subscrip¬ tions. The members of the Board were presented with watch charms by the Alumni Council, and were the guests of the Headmaster at a banquet in the Study during the winter term. The fine work that the Fifth Form Heelers have shown, allows the Board to retire confident that the News in 1935 will be in competent hands.

Thinking it might prove a worthy undertaking, several Sixth Formers asked permission from Fr. Sill to organize a society for the development of public speaking and debating. The Headmaster readily consented and suggested that Mr. Titus, chairman of the former Kent De¬ bating Society, might be of some value in helping to lay the foundations for the youthful organization. Mr. Titus was most willing to lend his services and has done much to put the Society on its feet. On December 1st, word was passed about that there would be a meet¬ ing of all fellows in the three upper forms who were interested in public speaking. Thirty-five fellows turned up, but that number has decreased considerably after the first glamour of a new organization at Kent had worn off. Mr. Titus took charge of the first meetings until December 7th, when elections for officers were held. Harold Baetjer was unani¬ mously elected chairman; Nicholas Read and Franklin Martin were elected Vice-Chairman and Secretary, respectively. At this session rules for the future conduct of meetings were adopted. It was decided that meetings of one hour duration should be held each Wednesday evening. Topics for discussion should be voted upon, and every member of the infant Society should have an equal chance to speak. Members of the Society themselves were to be the judges. Thus did the Debating Society once again come into life. Informal debates were held each week before the small group—the student body as yet was not allowed to attend a formal debate. Such topics as the follow¬ ing were debated upon by quite a few members: “Resolved that the Unit¬ ed States should build its Navy up to treaty strength”, “Resolved that Hit¬ lerism is beneficial for Germany” and “Resolved that the St. Lawrence Water-Way Treaty Between the United States and Canada should be rati¬ fied by the Senate”. At this point in the early career of the Society, it was realized that the members were getting nowhere, for the simple reason that before really debating one must know how to speak in public. A new plan was adopted. Mr. Baker who has had a great deal of experience and training in dramatics, hence the art of public speaking, was asked to help fellows in learning how to speak. He accepted, and so far has given them some very sound advice and helpful criticism. He meets them once every other Wed¬ nesday and the Wednesday in between is taken for informal discussions on international affairs with Mr. Titus. It is sincerely hoped that the Debating Society may gather momentum from year to year, and shall gain a prominent place in the realm of extra¬ curricular affairs at Kent. Page ninety-nine THE KENT SCHOOL ©ramatics T HE LAST three years at Kent have seen a renaissance of dramatics; the Class of 1933 having reinaugurated them with its staging of The Turning of the Tide, a farce written by none other than Father Sill. As this was successful, the same group of enthusiasts on the following year decided to turn their talent to a little more difficult piece, and selected Oscar Wilde’s The Importance of Being Ernest. This play was cut from three acts to two, and its complete success inoculated the School with the dramatic “bug”. However, the Spring term passed without a production, and it was not until the following fall that another Kent dramatic season opened. This time the Fourth Form, under the direction of Father Sill, staged a one act comedy entitled Good Morning, Teacher in the Community House. This skit dealt with the troubles of a country schoolmaster in controlling his pupils on the last day of the term. In the winter term of this year, Allison, Myerle, Bancroft, and Wat- rous of the Sixth Form wrote a musical comedy parodying the School, and Boles and Allison drew up the score. This hilarious show was presented before a packed Auditorium on the night of March 10th, on the occasion of Father Sill’s sixtieth birthday, and turned out to be the most successful production which has been staged at Kent in many years. The plot dealt with the machinations of Mai of the kitchen force to gain control of the School. When he was almost succeeding, having estab¬ lished himself as dictator, a group of Kent’s clandestine smokers, who called themselves the Tobacco Union, evolved a plan by 1 which Mai might be overcome. With the aid of Mai’s new nurse, who inveigled him into disclosing the secret source of his power, they cut off his hair, for it was this which gave him his great strength. The highlight of the performance was a scene burlesquing the Faculty at coffee, in which Allison’s and Ban¬ croft’s impersonations of Mr. Baker and Mr. Gleason brought down the house. The introduction, in which a bevy of eight muscular beauties ex¬ ecuted an intricate routine, and Allison as a seductive siren sang the opening number, and later, with Myerle, danced an adagio , set the show off to a good start, which ' pace was continued throughout. The songs and music were very popular, and a great deal of credit is due to Boles, who turned out the “hit” tunes. Mr. Baker of the Facultv did much to make the show a success as it was he who was responsible for the make-up of the entire cast.

All who graduate from the School automatically become members. There are no dues, each alumnus being asked to pledge the amount that he can afford. This money is used to cover a subscription to the News, and the residue is usually devoted to some gift to the School. The portrait of Fr. Sill which hangs in the Din¬ ing Hall was paid for out of this. The Class of 1933 held its first reunion since graduation over the week-end of February 10. Almost the entire class was able to come, with the result that the affair was very jolly and successful. As the Student Body will not be at Kent during Holy Week, since the Easter Vacation falls due at that time, the annual Alumni week-end will be held during that solemn season. As all who came last year had such a good time, many are expected back this year, and the only regret is that the Student Body will not be here to welcome them. In 1915 an Alumni Council was organized. This committee pays a yearly visit to Kent, inspects it, and discusses with the Headmaster, the business manager, the faculty, and the Student Council any problems that may have arisen. It is nominally composed of five members, but this year John Stevens of the Class of 1933 was invited to attend the meeting to place the Council in closer contact with the ever-changing aspects of the school life. This innovation was highly successful, and it is to be hoped that it will be continued. Before the meeting broke up, the Chairman, on behalf of the Alumni, presented the retiring members of the News Board with gold watch charms as a token of the appreciation that the alumni felt for the work that had been done on the Neivs. No word concerning the alumni would be complete without mention¬ ing Mr. T. D. Walker ’19, the Alumni Secretary, whose untiring work in preparing the Alumni Directory and keeping the Association together de¬ serves unending praise. He is the chief link in the chain which keeps all alumni in contact with the School. The 1934 Alumni Directory is a much more pretentious book than any of its predecessors. It is bound in a hard blue linen cover with the coat of arms of Kent embossed on the front. This cover was the gift of Mr. Barrett Whitman of the Class of 1915. The following are the members of the Alumni Council: Alexander H. Wood ’ll, Chairman; Russell L. Post ’23; William E. Studdiford ’14; Ed¬ ward T. Gushee ’12; Lawrence M. Noble ’23. Page one hundred two YEAR BOOK 1934 ®fje Jfatijers’ Ussoctattoii v I HE FATHERS’ ASSOCIATION, ever since its first meeting in 1919, has done inestimable work for the growth of Kent, particularly in connection with the permanent buildings, as it formed in 1920 a Building Fund Committee which did much to finance the erection of the Dining Hall, Infirmary, North Dormitory and Chapel. In May, the 1933 meeting of the Association was held, at which Mr. Humphrey was re-elected president for the coming year. At this same meeting it was decided to replace the bridge in back of the Dining Hall with one of concrete, and to build there a dam to increase the size of the pond. Towards the end of the term work was started on the project, and during the Summer it was completed. The fruits of the dam were soon plucked, as during the football season there was swimming after prac¬ tice, and when later the rigors of the 1934 winter had coated the pond with two feet of ice, three rinks were erected upon it. The Association also had the Music Room in the North Dormitory renovated, equipping it with a radio and phonograph and a large selection of records, and hanging it with tapestries to better the accoustics. This room has become popular with all of the School’s music fans, and fills a long felt need at Kent. The Mothers’ Association has continued its helpful contributions to the School. Last May it presented the Infirmary with a set of pictures and water colors to liven up the wards, and this fall it gave the Athletic De¬ partment some navy-blue side-line jackets. In past years it has sold tickets for the annual encounter of the Kent and Morristown hockey teams in Madison Square Garden in New York, but this year that game was dis¬ continued. As this book goes to press, all at the School are looking forward to the visits of the fathers and mothers this spring, as they are always among the happiest occasions of the year. THE NEW BRIDGE Page one hundred three THE KENT SCHOOL Cum 2.aube HTHE CUM LAUDE SOCIETY, which fills the place in sc hool circles that the Phi Beta Kappa Society occupies for collegians as a reward for scholastic merit, was founded at the Tome School in 1906. Originally called the Alpha Delta Tau Fraternity, its name was soon changed so that its aims might not be confused with those of the various college Greek- letter fraternities. Since its inception nearly thirty years ago, member¬ ship in the society has grown to over seven thousand, spread all over the world. In 1930 the Kent Chapter of the society was founded, and in the four ensuing years sixty-one fellows have been admitted to it. In addition, the Cum Laude key was awarded to all those who in former years had grad¬ uated from Kent with the required standing, so that the total member¬ ship of the Kent Chapter is even greater. The Kent officers are: Father Sill, President of the Chapter; J. P. Humphreys, Secretary; and R. M. Baker, Treasurer. The other faculty members include Messrs. C. P. Har¬ rington, G. S. Voorhees, F. V. Anders, C. K. Loomis, and W. C. Woods. All those who at the end of the winter term of their Sixth Form year have maintained an average of eighty-five per cent or more from their Third Form year on are admitted to the society at that time, and at the end of the year the remaining members of the first fifth of the class who have averages of over eighty are taken into the organization. This March, Parke, Noble, Tomkins, Watrous, Norris, J. Moore, and Cheesman were awarded their keys, and in June five more members of the graduating class will join. On Prize Day, 1933, G. Jordan, Watson, Mosher, Rawls, Budd, Seeger, Beard, Runnals, and Burbank were admitted. The Cum Laude Society fills exactly the long felt need of a reward for scholastic proficiency comparable to the athletic “K”, and as such it provides a real incentive to study. Page one hundred four ATHLETIC THE CHAMPIONSHIP 1933 CREW IR IE V ta R OWING at Kent, ever since the sport was established in 1922, has been famed throughout New England, but never before has a crew made such a name for itself as that of 1933. After an undefeated season on home waters, Father Sill led his triumphant squad abroad in a success¬ ful English invasion to fulfill his long-cherished dream of taking the Thames Challenge Cup for a trip across the Atlantic. The sportsmanship of the Crew and the Kent style became the talk of rowing circles through¬ out the world, but more of this Henley trip later. The mild weather of the 1933 winter allowed Coach Sill to get his squad underway with occasional paddles as early as the middle of Febru¬ ary, and definite training was begun on March 4. There were four vet¬ erans from the 1932 crew reporting, Miles, Jackson, Captain Johnson, and Coxswain Baetjer, and these together with Blair, Butterworth, Peterkin, and Flagler of the 1932 second boat were given early berths on the boat¬ ing. There was some doubt as to who would pull the number three oar, but Father Sill, after various try-outs, placed Humphreys from the Fifth Form Crew at the position. The season opened with an overwhelming Kent victory over the Har¬ vard 150 lb. Varsity, by four and a half lengths, on April 5th. The swollen river helped the Crew establish a new course record of 6 :2 1 5. The Cam¬ bridge shell got the jump on the School boat and pulled ahead by a quarter length, but by the quarter-mile buoy the two boats were even. The smoother catch of the Kent men soon began to tell and by the half-mile mark they were leading by a half length. Around the bend Blair staged a sprint which opened water between the shells and from then on Kent gradually pulled ahead to its four and a half length lead. In the prelimi¬ nary race the Kent second crew was also triumphant over the Harvard second boat by a good two lengths of open water. A fortnight later the Crew out-rowed the Yale Heavy Freshmen in a close race down at Derby. From the very beginning it was nip and tuck as to who would win, first one and then the other nosing ahead. Just be- Page one hundred seven THE KENT SCHOOL H. BAETJER Captain of Crew fore the end, however, Blair raised the stroke to place the School shell a bare deck-length in the lead. This, the only race that the Yale Freshmen lost, was undoubtedly the School Crew’s hardest competition. While the first eight were having a two week lay-off preparatory to entering the second half of their schedule, the Yale 150-lb. Freshmen led the Second Crew on April 29th down the Henley course at Kent to cross the finish line three lengths ahead. The Sixth Form crew was out¬ classed, at the same time by the Second 150-lb. Freshmen in the first race in which a Kent class crew had competed against outside talent. Next week saw the Tabor, Springfield, and Hun crews at Kent to compete in the Second An¬ nual Schoolboy Regatta, which had been insti¬ tuted the year before. At the same time, the Lawrenceville Crew and a form crew from Choate came up to race the Kent Second boat and the Sixth Form crew, respectively. The first heats were two one-mile races, one between Hun and Kent and the other between Tabor and Springfield on Friday. Although Hun led the School shell up to the first buoy, the superior power of th© Kent oars soon began to tell, and they were leading by a length at the finish. In the other race, Springfield gained an early lead of a length which they maintained down the entire course. Before the finals on Saturday, the Sixth Form Crew won a half-mile race from the Choate Fifth Form Crew, and the Second Crew defeated Lawrenceville by a length and a quarter. These races were followed by the Consolation race be¬ tween Hun and Tabor, the outcome of which, how¬ ever, was never in doubt as Hun jumped into the lead at the start and pulled steadily ahead until at the end there were three lengths of open water between the two boats. In the final race Kent met Springfield in a rather one-sided match. Kent outweighed their rivals ten pounds to a man, and their strength told from the start. At the quarter mile mark they were a length ahead, and this lead had been doubled at the half. Never letting down its space- Chairman of Crew Page one hundred eight YEAR BOOK 1934 eating stroke, which, however, was not as fast as Springfield’s, the Kent shell continued to pull ahead, passing the finish five lengths in the lead. This race ended the Crew’s schedule on home waters, and it was over a month before it again took to its oars in competition. This, however, was one week before the offi¬ cial close of the Kent rowing season, the rest of the Kent navy still remaining in action until the following Saturday when the Second Crew de¬ feated the Manhattan Lightweight Varsity by four lengths of open water, and the Fourth Form eight won over the Manhattan Junior Varsity by almost the same distance. During the week the finals of the Inter-Form Regatta were held, in which the Sixth Form emerged victorious after a close race with the Third Form, winning it by three feet. After a farewell dinner in New York the Crew sailed on June 8 for Southampton on board the Berengaria, and within a week the Kent School Boat Club was offic¬ ially installed at the Armistice, a Henley Inn. The squad found awaiting them there the new shell which Lord Rothermere had generously given them, and in no time at all the Crew was settled and having daily work¬ outs under the coaching of Eads Johnson ’30 and Father Sill. However, all was not rowing, as the College Entrance Examinations were about to fall due, and for several hours each day the oarsmen could be seen hard at work over books and review sheets which had been pre¬ pared for them by the masters before sailing. On Monday, June 19th, the dreaded “Boards” arrived, and amid the commiseration of their English friends the Kent men filed into the Henley Court House to take them. After drawing a bye for the first race, the Crew went into action on Thursday, June 29th, when they defeated Jesus College, Cambridge, easily by about three lengths. From the very beginning Kent was in the lead, and Stroke Blair was not once forced to raise the count. On the next af¬ ternoon Kent again had an easy race, this time outrowing Worcester Col¬ lege to lead at the end by another three lengths. Worcester was the crew which put the 1930 Kent Henley eight out in the semi-finals, and so the School oarsmen were doubly delighted over their victory in being able to avenge the former humiliation. Worcester jumped into the lead at first, but Kent soon began to forge ahead, and although Worcester tried several times to close up the gap between the shells, the School boat passed the finish line well in the lead. W. BOLES Manager of Crew Page one hundred nine THE KENT SCHOOL Later this same afternoon occurred the most exciting race in the Thames Cup event, when Hun, the same crew that rowed at Kent in the Schoolboy Regatta, competed with the London Rowing Club. Down the entire course the two crews rowed evenly, fighting every foot of; the mile and five-sixteenths to gain an advantage. Neither could, however, and the two shells reached the finish simultaneously. Two hours later, they again raced; this race being just as thrilling as their other, the two boats match¬ ing strokes the entire way, but London pulled away at the end to win by a foot. In the semi-finals Kent again proved its championship caliber when it led Lensbury Rowing Club down the entire stretch, finishing three full lengths ahead. At the start the two shells were even, and they remained so for the first few strokes, but then, as in the race against Worcester, Kent began to pull ahead. When the quarter-mile mark had been reached it was a length in the fore, and at the half this had been doubled. This continued until the last quarter where Kent let down the stroke a bit as it had to row another race that day, and Lensbury cut down the lead some¬ what by a sprint. Even so, however, the School boat won handily by about three lengths. Four hours later the climax of the entire trip came when Kent lined up at the start with the Bedford Rowing Club boat for the finals. For the first quarter mile the two shells rowed even, stroke for stroke, but from then on Kent’s superior power carried them ahead to give them a two length victory and the Thames Challenge Cup. This was the second time in the history of the Cup that it had been won by an American crew, Browne and Nichols having taken it for its first trip across “the pond” in 1929. That night the prizes were distributed, Captain Johnson taking the Cup to the Kent quarters, while each member of the eight received a silver medal as a souvenir of their achievement. A banquet was then held in the dining room of the Armistice at which Coxy Baetjer was elected captain for the coming year. Among the guests at the banquet was the entire Hun crew which came to congratulate the School oarsmen on their fine win. The next day the group broke up, the majority setting out on an ex¬ pedition touring Scotland, France, Denmark, and Switzerland before re¬ turning home. On the first day of school the following fall, Captain John¬ son and Peterkin presented the Thames Challenge Cup to the School, leav¬ ing it under the guardianship of Baetjer. On every Saturday from that time on the Cup has been placed on the Head Table in the Dining Hall for exhibition, the most interest in it being centered in the inside of the top where are engraved the names of the Crew and the year that they won it. ’Page one hundred ten YEAR BOOK 1934 As a tribute to the wonderful success of the Crew, a testimonial ban¬ quet was given it and Coach Sill at the Columbia Club in New York City on October 4. Here many of the famous rowing men of America came to pay tribute to the Crew and its inimitable coach. The success that Father Sill has had with oarsmen and crews ever since his coxing days back at Columbia, and the grand reputation that Kent rowing has established for itself were outlined in the many speeches. In closing the best thing to say of the season and the Henley trip is to quote from Father Sill, “As I look back on our 1933 Henley episode, there does not seem to be a single incident that I should like to see eliminated.” THE HENLEY COURSE Kent defeating the Lensbury Rowing Club by three lengths Page one hundred eleven YEAR BOOK 1934 Qttje 1933 Crcto Name Position Weight Height Form Miles Bow 168 5:9 VI Flagler 2 167 6: VI Humphreys 3 173 5:11 V Peterkin 4 170 6: VI Jackson 5 173 6:1 VI Johnson (Capt.) 6 181 6:3 VI Butterworth 7 162 5:11 VI Blair Stroke 164 5:10 VI Baetjer Cox 96 5:5 V QU )t Reason’s ccorb Kent 4 1 2 lengths ahead of Harvard 150-lb.

Of the thirteen games played, eight re¬ sulted in victories and five in defeat. But even this does not show the true strength of the team. When the fact is taken into consideration that only one game was lost by more than one run, and that two of the defeats were the results of extra-inning games, Hotchkiss emerging the 7-6 victor in thirteen innings, and Choate winning 6-5 in twelve frames, the true power and aggressiveness of the team can be seen. A tremendous amount of credit is due to Dunn, upon whose shoulders rested the burden of the pitching. He hurled eight complete games for Kent, and played for a while in three of the remaining five. It would have been difficult to find a better captain and leader than H. Stanton. He led the team in batting, and he kept it constantly on its toes and in fighting spirits. At the beginning of the season, he was shifted from second to third base, and he and Jackson at shortstop, Downes at second, and Adey on first formed a most reliable infield, in batting as well as in fielding. The work behind the plate of G. Jordan, who led the team in fielding, was out¬ standing. He played excellent baseball during the entire season, and was the team’s third batter. A strong outfield combination was found in McCreath, Tully, and Wood. Tully led the nine in home runs, and was second ranking batter, with McCreath close behind. The fielding of all three was excellent throughout the season. The squad assembled on the field for the first practice on April 13, after having limbered up for a few days in the Community House iri town. Coach Nadal had four letter men returning; Captain Stanton, Dunn, Tully, and McCreath, and it was not long before he had the team rounding into shape. The opening game of the season was played against Milford on April 19, on the home diamond, with the visiting nine eking out a close 3-2 vic¬ tory. Dunn pitched a fine game, striking out fourteen men and allowing Page one hundred fifteen THE KENT SCHOOL but four hits. The following Saturday the team scored their first victory of the season in down¬ ing Salisbury 6-3. Adey and Downes led Kent’s batting attack, while Dunn again appeared on the mound. Lowe pitched the nine to a 4-3 vic¬ tory over Gunnery on April 26, with Stanton ac¬ counting for three of Kent’s hits. The team maintained its winning stride when they easily subdued Taft 8-2 on April 29, with Dunn holding the losers to two hits, and Tully driving in the majority of Kent’s runs with a double and a triple. South Kent proved to be easy opposition as Stanton led his team to a 22-2 victory on Wednesday, May 3. The winning streak was stretched to five games on the follow¬ ing Saturday when Kent conquered its ancient rival Pawling 3-1, in a hard fought game on the loser’s diamond. Tully drove in two of the runs with a triple. In the next game the Trinity Jayvees gained a 1-0 victory over the School nine in an exciting contest played at Hart¬ ford on May 13. Penrose hurled a splendid game for the Blue and Gray, holding the college nine scoreless until the final inning. In one of the most thrilling games of the season, Hotchkiss nosed out the Kent team 7-6 in a game staged at Lakeville on May 15. Although five runs behind at the beginning of the second inning, the team never lost its spirit and fight, and at the end of the eighth the score stood tied at 6-6. Four breathless innings followed with Hotchkiss finally managing to score in the thirteenth frame. Dunn struck out fourteen, while Captain Stanton led the visitors at the plate, collecting three hits, including a triple and a home run. Canterbury met defeat 11-8 on May 17 in a loosely played game on the Kent diamond. Tully made three hits to lead the home batters. The Loomis game turned out to be a slugging match with Kent emerging the winner by 11-9 in a contest staged at Windsor on May 20. Sta nton, Jor¬ dan, and McCreath accounted for ten of Kent’s sixteen hits. Perhaps the outstanding game of the season was Choate’s 6-5 vic¬ tory over the team on Wednesday, May 24, on the home field. The game went to twelve innings before it was finally won. Kent tied the score in the ninth and eleventh innings, but failed to in the last after having filled the bases. Dunn was a little erratic, walking ten and fanning ten. Tully led the Kent batters with three hits. A not unexpected slump followed the Choate game; and the team was handed its only bad defeat of the season, when Berkshire smothered it 13-5. However, in the final game of the schedule, the team seemed to have collected itself, and downed Westminster 6-5 in a fifteen inning encoun- H. NOBLE Chairman of Baseball Page one hundred sixteen YEAR BOOK 1934 ter. Dunn made his last game for Kent, a memo¬ rable one, pitching fine ball, while Tully, after knocking a home run in the first inning, won the game with another in the fifteenth frame. Because of the lack of letter men in the Fifth Form, it was deemed best not to elect a captain until the following spring. Goodbody and Wat¬ son, the Chairman and Manager, who deserve much credit for their excellent care of the dia¬ mond and baseball equipment, announced their successors to be Noble and Perry, respectively. The Second Team, under the coaching of Kent Smith ’28, and led by Captain Cady, had a most successful season, winning five of its six games. Taft, Berkshire, Hotchkiss, Lenox, and Hope Farm were conquered, while the lone defeat came at the hands of Wooster. Captain Cady, Bosson, Miles, and Penrose starred for the team during the season. Mr. Evans’ Junior Baseball team was just nosed out from winning the Housatonic Cup for the fourth consecutive year by Gunnery this Spring. It enjoyed a fine season winning almost all of its games, and the fine material of which the team was composed bodes well for future Kent nines. J.

Page one hundred nineteen THE 1933 TENNIS TEAM T HE TENNIS TEAM of the 1933 season was beyond a shadow of a doubt the finest and most successful one that Kent has ever pro¬ duced, and Coach Humphreys, Captain Hawley, and the members of the squad deserve our hearty congratulations. Facing a hard and long schedule, the team emerged with a clean sweep of victories to their credit, with the exception of the matches against Choate and the Yale Freshmen, both clearly superior aggregations. Soon after the opening of the Spring term, a large squad reported to help condition the courts, and under the supervision of the managers, Seeger and Randall, they were put into shape in short order. However, because of the almost incessant rain, it was several weeks before regular organized practice could be commenced. With the return of six letter men, the prospects for a good season were certainly propitious, and a ten¬ tative ranking list was drawn up as follows: Rawls, Hawley, B. Cogge- shall, J. Coggeshall, J. Stanton, Stayer, Reily, Jones, W. Dayton, and Ma- gruder. Because of the unfavorable weather conditions, it was necessary to cancel several of the matches, but at length on Monday, May eighth, the season was opened with a victory over Berkshire by the score of six to nothing. Although greatly handicapped by the lack of practice, the team made a good showing, its fine doubles play being especially noteworthy. This triumph was followed by another two days later, when the team conquered Westminster by the slim margin of four matches to three, time not permitting the completion of all the doubles. Captain Hawley, with deep, accurate driving and good net play, disposed of Fraker, the West¬ minster captain, 6-4, 6-3, while Rawls displayed his usual standard of hard, deep serves, severe ground strokes, and well-placed volleys. The most exciting match of the season was played on the School courts against Poly Prep on May 13, which came to Kent with a record of twen¬ ty-six straight victories to its credit. The visitors picked up a lead of four to two in the singles, but Kent rallied to take all the doubles, thus winning the match five to four. Hawley, playing at number one, is to be compli¬ mented for conquering Harloe, who had been beaten only once before in Page one hundred Uventy-one THE KENT SCHOOL two years. It is also interesting to note that the Coggeshall twins drew twins for their opponents in singles. In the course of the following week, the School team registered two more victories by sub¬ duing Gunnery ten to one, and Hotchkiss five to four. In the singles of the former match, Kent won easily, so the Second team was allowed to participate in the doubles. However, the Hotch¬ kiss match was extremely exciting, and after a three-to-three tie in the singles, the Coggeshalls and Stanton and Stayer asserted their supremacy in the doubles to take the match. The two defeats of the season were admin¬ istered in succession by the Yale Freshmen and Choate, and although both matches were lost by the score of nine to nothing, the entire team played steady, hard-fighting tennis before suc¬ cumbing to these all-powerful netmen. At New Haven, Stanton and Stayer came very near win¬ ning, their match going to three sets. However, none of the School play¬ ers were a match for their polished opponents. In spite of the soggy courts and unfavorable weather conditions, Kent overwhelmed Taft by the score of eight to one on Wednesday, May 24. The finest exhibition of the day was presented in doubles by Rawls and Hawley, who showed the able tutelage of Coach Humphreys by their per¬ fect coordination, making their sorties to and from the net in perfect unison and covering the court well. The victory over Loomis with the score of eight to one was a fitting conclusion to this out¬ standing season, and it showed the team at its best. In spite of the one-sided score, the matches were closely contested, six of them going to three sets. Rawls gave a brilliant performance with blasting services and aceing drives. The Second team was also one of the most outstanding ones that the School has ever wit- essed, and it was quite as successful as the First team. Under the leadership of Captain Healy, it registered victories over Hoosac, South Kent, Canterbury, Hotchkiss, Taft, and Loomis, suffering its only defeat from Choate. In reviewing the season, Coach Humphreys remarked that this was B. CHEESMAN Manager of Tennis B. CURRY Chairman of Tennis Page one hundred twenty-two YEAR BOOK 1934 the best team that he had ever coached, and he attributed much of its suc¬ cess to the doubles play. To the four mainstays of the team, Hawley, Rawls, and the two Coggeshalls, he awarded straight “K’s”, while “TKT’s” were presented to J. Stanton, Stayer, Healy, and Jones. Curry and Chees- man assumed the duties of chairman and manager, respectively, but the election of a succeeding captain was postponed until next season. The Spring Doubles Tournament produced some of the finest doubles play ever seen on the School courts. The outcome was somewhat of a sur¬ prise, however, f or although the match had been conceded to either Haw¬ ley and Rawls or the two Coggeshalls, two baseball players, H. Stanton and Jordan, smashed their way to the finals where they met Hawley and Rawls and after a gruelling five set battle won the tournament 5-7, 8-6, 4-6, 6-3, 6-4. In the week following the College Board Examinations Captain Haw¬ ley, Rawls, the two Coggeshalls, Stayer, and Healy represented Kent at the Manursing Island Intersholastic Invitation Tennis Tournament where they managed to place fourth out of ten competing teams. Rawls was the individual Kent star, reaching the quarter-finals of the singles where he lost to Clements of Choate. Hawley played into the fourth round before he was put out. The 1933 Fall singles tournament progressed to the final round, but because of the early arrival of cold weather, Stanton and Stayer were un¬ able to play for the School championship. With these two surviving let- termen, and with Reily, Dayton, Watrous, and Levering coming up from the Second team, a strong 1934 tennis team may be expected.

Page one hundred twenty-five THE 1933 FOOTBALL TEAM T HE 1933 Kent football team was unfortunate in that its spirited but inexperienced players faced, in a seven-game schedule, five teams of championship caliber; Hotchkiss, which completed its season undefeated; Westminster, a fast, heavy team with a strong passing attack; Berkshire, which after a slow start finished the season one of the strongest teams in this locality; Taft, which lost only to Hotchkiss, and that by the slender margin of one point; and finally Choate, a tricky, well coached eleven that was defeated only by Lawrenceville and Loomis in a difficult schedule. In spite of this formidable opposition, the team, although occasionally out¬ played, was never outfought; for while it was neither heavy nor fast, its spirit and determination on the field nearly made up for its deficiency in these respects; and to no opponents did it grant easy victory. In the squad of twenty-four that returned to school for early prac¬ tice, only two, Captain “Whiz” Craig and Cady, were lettermen of the 1932 season. However, with almost the entire personnel of the undefeat¬ ed 1932 second team returning, prospects favored the organization of a scrappy and efficient eleven. In Budd, Thayer, and Blair, Coach Nadal had the nucleus of a fine backfield; while Dunham, Jackson, Andrews, and Jordan gave promise of the development of a strong, aggressive line. The team met its first outside opposition on September thirtieth, when Hackley came to Kent from Tarrytown. Captain Craig’s men outfought and outplayed Hackley throughout the game, and the driving, plunging style of play which they employed was culminated by an off tackle plunge for a touchdown from the two-yard line executed by Thayer in the last quarter. Sturgis scored the extra point on an end run. A week later a flashy but poorly conditioned team from Milford was sent home with a seven-to-six defeat after a thrilling game on Alumni Field. The passing combination of Connell to Mesella scored many long gains and one touchdown for Milford, but the superior determination and stamina of the Kent eleven was rewarded in the third quarter when Thay¬ er plunged across the line for a touchdown and kicked the winning point. Page one hundred twenty-seven THE KENT SCHOOL On Saturday, the fourteenth, Hotchkiss, without doubt the best team in this part of the country, ran over and around the spirited but outplayed Kent defense to score twenty-six points to none for the losers. Humphrey, the Hotchk iss quarterback, starred for his team, scor¬ ing one touchdown and assisting in the scoring of the others, while Captain Craig and Thayer did well for Kent. On the following Saturday the team jour¬ neyed to Simsbury to play Westminster. The heavy Westminster eleven showed greater pass¬ ing ability than did Kent, and that superiority gave them a nineteen-to-nothing victory. In this game Thayer, our star fullback, was lost to the team for the rest of the season when his elbow was injured on a line plunge. W. B. CRAIG Berkshire came to Kent the next Saturday Captain of Football and wrested a hard fought fourteen-to-nothing victory from Captain Craig’s cohorts. Weight advantage was largely re¬ sponsible for Berkshire’s superiority in this encounter, along with the flashy running of Mahlstedt, a speedy halfback. Bancroft, playing full¬ back in the place of the injured Thayer, played very well both offensively and defensively for Kent. The team traveled to Watertown on Satur¬ day, November fourth, and on a cold, wind-swept field lost to a fast and powerful Taft organization by the score of thirteen to nothing, Sweeney, a tricky and elusive Taft back, scoring both touch¬ downs. Cady starred for Kent, blocking a punt and carrying it to the Taft five-yard line in the first quarter, and playing a strong game in the line throughout the contest. In the last game of the season for both teams, Kent and Choate met on Alumni Field and after a bitterly and evenly fought battle Choate re¬ turned to Wallingford the victor by seven points to none. Although the team was outweighed many pounds per man in this encounter, it held Choate on even terms throughout the afternoon, and of¬ ten threatened the Choate goal line. Captain Gibson of the Wallingford team, one of the best of scholastic centers, played brilliantly for his school, while Captain Craig and Halbert, a new R. ABBE Chairman of Football Page one hundred twenty-eight YEAR BOOK 1934 boy whose ability on the gridiron was not discov¬ ered until mid-season, fought hard and well for Kent. The annual football banquet was held in Father Sill’s study on the following Thursday, preceded by the awarding in Hall by Coach Na- dal of “K’s”, numerals, and “seconds”, to the members of the first and second squads. Sixth formers who had won letters were also presented with silver footballs, and Craig received a gold one as a memorial of his captaincy. At the ban¬ quet Cady was awarded the Mitchel Trophy in recognition of his fine play and sportsmanship at tackle throughout the season, and Beekman Budd, quarterback, was elected captain of the 1934 team. Abbe and Allison named Westlake and Dunning respectively as their successors in the managerial positions. The second team, under the leadership of Captain Morgan and the coaching of Mr. Hum¬ phreys had a fairly successful season, defeating Wooster by the score of 18-0, in the first game of the season, and then in order losing to a strong Lenox team, 20-6, tying the Berkshire Seconds, 0-0, and defeating the same Berkshire team in a return game by the score of 19-0. Captain Wood’s Algoes won the Junior League Championship after an undefeated season, and then, after the league schedule was completed, a team was selected from all the league’s organizations which defeated the South Kent Juniors 13-0 and the Pawling Thirds 12-0. After Captain Hawley’s Team had clinched the midget champio nship, Mr. Walker com¬ bined his cohorts into a machine-like eleven which ran all over South Kent to the score of 40-0 and nosed out a 13-7 victory over Berkshire. After the conclusion of the regular season there was much debate as to which of the two upper forms could place the more powerful eleven on the field, and at last it was decided to put the matter to the test. There¬ fore, on one of the last mild days of the autumn, a sixth form team, coached by none other than the reverend headmaster and captained by Cranmer, clashed with a team selected from the fifth form, coached by Thayer, the injured fullback, and led by Budd, on Mr. Walker’s midget field. After a stirring struggle the sixth form emerged the victor by the margin of one touchdown, scored by Bancroft on an intercepted pass in the first quar¬ ter; and those who had formed the habit of belittling the athletic prowess of the gentlemen of the senior class were silenced.

Page one hundred thirty-one THE 1934 HOCKEY TEAM HOCKEY JJL 7INNING nine games, tying two, and losing one is the record that ™ Captain Cady’s team made this winter. As it was undefeated by a school team, and both of the teams that it tied were later overcome by or¬ ganizations which Kent had previously conquered, it has a right to think of itself as championship caliber. The team had no outstanding players, except perhaps for Bosson, who guarded the Kent goal, and whose spectacular saves time and again stopped what looked like certain scores, and Captain Cady, whose work at defense was always to be relied upon. Thei first and second lines in all but the Yale Freshmen game were on equal terms with those of their opponents, while the third line deserves much credit for its spirit, for the greater part of the time that it played, it was matched against the first string lines of the opposing teams. Upon looking back at the games that the team played, what is most striking is the brilliant comebacks that it made, particularly in the Hotch¬ kiss game where the Blue and White stickmen jumped into an early lead and increased it to 3-0 by the end of the second period. Although it looked like a sure victory for Hotchkiss, a revamped Kent team went on the ice in the third period to score three goals in quick succession, and a winning one in the overtime. In both of the South Kent games and in the Taft encounter the team did the same thing; although trailing at the end of the second period it always came back either to win or tie in the third. Unlike the last three winters, the cold weather of 1934 started early in December and there was ice continuously from then on until the middle of February. This early ice gave the team an opportunity to get in much practice before the season opened, and obviated the necessity of going to New Haven. Only one game was cancelled during the entire season, the one with Gunnery. The schedule opened on Monday, January 15, with the School Sextet overcoming Berkshire 1-0. The team had the upper hand throughout the greater part of the game, but they were unable to put more than one shot Page one hundred thirty-three THE KENT SCHOOL F. CADY Captain of Hockey past Brown, the Berkshire goal-tender. In the same week they played Canterbury and snowed them under with a 7-0 score, and it was only be¬ cause of the brilliant work of Patera, the loser’s goalie, that the score was that small. Lenox provided the first real competition that the team received, for although Kent opened the scoring early, the visitors tied the count to form a 1-1 deadlock that not even an overtime could break. The next game against the Yale Freshmen was the only one that the team dropped. Extremely fast skaters, good shots, and deft stickhandlers, the School team was no match for them, and it was only Bosson’s brilliant play that kept the score down to 5-1. The lone Kent tally was scored by Dunham after receiving a pass from Heyl. The Hotchkiss game followed this, and turned out to be the most exciting of the entire season. In the first two periods the team could not find itself, and Hotchkiss rifled three shots past Bosson. In the third period, however, the Kent team, evened the score, and Budd flipped the puck in, in the ensuing overtime to win the game. Two or three minutes before the end of this extra frame two of the Kent players found their way to the penalty box, and although Hotchkiss sent its entire team for¬ ward they were unable to tally. Kent had a slight edge over Choate through¬ out their annual encounter, winning it, 2-1. The fi nal outcome was not in doubt after the first per¬ iod, although Choate rallied to even the score in the second chapter. This game saw the visitors in the closing minutes of play substitute a for¬ ward for their goalie, but the game ended before either team could gain an advantage through this strategy. The Army Plebes were the next team to be downed, Kent coming back from the huge West Point rink with a 2-0 score. After this, Taft came to Kent with an undefeated sextet to give battle to the School team. They were better skaters than Kent, and had a great individual star in Sherwood, but the School team’s fight made up for this. Kent scored in the first period, but in the second the visitors, led by Sherwood, tallied twice in quick succession. C. Andrews evened chairman of Hockey Page one hundred thirty-four YEAR BOOK 1934 the count for Kent, but the game ended before either team could score a deciding goal. No over¬ time was played, as it was growing dark. In a return game with Berkshire Kent again emerged the victor, this time with a 2-0 score, and keeping on this winning stride it won the next three and final games of the season, defeat¬ ing South Kent twice by the score of 3-2, and overwhelming Morristown 9-1. As no preseason game had been played with Morristown in Madison Square Garden for the Ranger Trophy, this game took its place, but the victory did not give Kent permanent possession of the Cup, as it had been decided that the Cup should be placed in perpetual competition. Both of the South Kent games were extreme¬ ly close and exciting, as the scores indicate. For the past three years South Kent has defeated the School, and so excitement ran high as to whether or not the 1934 School sextet could break the jinx. Although it came close to winning, South Kent had not enough re¬ serve material to keep up the pace maintained by the three Kent lines. In the first game of the series it needed two overtime periods to decide the issue, and in the second it was not until the last whistle that the outcome was assured. On Washington’s Birthday the Squad was given a banquet up in the Study, at which, after speeches by members of the team, Vance ’35 was elected to lead the 1935 sextet. The Second team also had a very successful season, winning or tying three of its four games. It downed Choate and Berkshire, tied Wooster, and lost to Hotchkiss. For the first time since 1931, league hockey was organized by Mr. Park. After a close race between the first Sixth Form team and the first Fourth Form team the season ended with a tie between the two, and so a two out of three game series was played, which the First Sixths won easily in two straight victories. With this play-off, the 1934 hockey season, which will go down in the annals of the School as one of the most suc¬ cessful and happy that Kent has had, came to a close. J.

Page one hundred thirty-seven THE 1934 BASKETBALL TEAM SINETIB AILL 13 ASKETBALL in its second year of existence at Kent proved a suc- cessful and popular sport, and has definitely been added to the ath¬ letic curriculum of the School. Although the team lost seven games while only winning five, it showed steady improvement throughout the season, making a strong finish by capturing its last three games, which might have been increased to five had not the final two games of the schedule with Milford and Pawling been cancelled, as each had fallen a victim to the team earlier in the season. Coach Bartlett had only one letterman returning from last year, Cap¬ tain Jackson, and consequently practically an entire new quintet had to be organized. Jackson was placed at one of the forward positions, while C. Jordan, a substitute on last season’s team, capably filled the other. Hal¬ bert, who was a new fellow this year, turned out to be a dependable cen¬ ter, while Strait and Reily, neither of whom played last year, were sta¬ tioned at the tw r o guard positions, the former becoming a reliable defen¬ sive player, and the latter a real scoring threat. As the season progressed this combination steadily gained cohesion, and toward the end displayed almost invincible form. Woodman proved a valuable utility man ready to step into any position when called upon. The first game of the season was against Choate at Wallingford, and the more experienced home team emerged with a 36-17 victory. Led by Captain Gibson, the Blue and Gold five showed superior passing, which, coupled with accurate shooting, established such a large lead in the first half that the Kent five was unable to overtake them, despite the fierce on¬ slaught staged in the closing period. Captain Jackson and Halbert were the leaders in the visitors’ fruitless quest for victory. Berkshire administered the second defeat of the season, overcoming an early Kent lead to gain a 27-21 win. The game, played at Sheffield, looked for a while as though the visiting five would conquer, but Berkshire put on a strong finish and won. Bertha starred for the victors, while Jackson and Jordan were the high scorers for Kent. The season’s first Page one hundred thirty-nine THE KENT SCHOOL victory came at the expense of Milford, by the score of 27-22. Having taken the lead in the sec¬ ond quarter by means of a spectacular spurt, the Kent five was never headed for the remainder of the contest. Jackson, with fourteen points to his credit, ran away with the individual scoring honors, while Strait excelled on the defense. In its first home game, the team was routed 60-23 by a powerful and aggressive Roxbury five, which after a delayed start, completely be¬ wildered its opponents to walk off with the de¬ cisive decision. A close game was played on the Canterbury court the following week, Kent being nosed out 32-27, despite the valiant efforts of Jackson, who alone scored seventeen of the loser’s points. The home team jumped into the lead in the second quarter, and was never headed for the remainder of the game. Taft inflicted the third straight defeat to the quintet in a slow game on the Kent court 36- 27. Reily led the scorers for the home team with eleven points, two more than Captain Jackson. Kent found itself in a game against Pawling, win¬ ning handily 40-22 on the loser’s court. Staging a fast second half rally, led by Halbert, the individual high scorer of the day, the visitors as¬ sumed a commanding margin which was steadily increased until the end of the game. In a return contest on the School court, Berkshire again took Kent’s measure 45-32. The victor’s flashy forwards proved too fast to handle, scoring thirty-nine points between them. The Gunnery five handed the final defeat of the season to the Kent team 46-37 on the loser’s court. A courageous rally by the home team in the third quarter fell just short of overcoming the visitor’s lead. The Hopkins Grammar quintet, with a fine record behind it, came to Kent expectant of an¬ other victory, only to be humbled 33-17, scoring only one point in the entire second half. From the half way mark to the final whistle, the home five played inspired basketball, which it was to keep up throughout the rest of the season. The highlight of the season occurred in the next game, when the hitherto undefeated Gun¬ nery team went down to defeat on the home floor D. CRAIG Manager of Basketball Page one hundred forty YEAR BOOK 1934 before the Kent five, 34-23. Reily and Jackson were the leading scorers, and the whole team functioned perfectly to confound its favored op¬ ponents with a spectacular last half rally. The final game of the season was against Canterbury, which lost by the one-sided score of 37-15. The losers scored only two points during the first half, being held practically ineffective by the Kent players. Jordan headed the scorers, excelling for Kent, while Captain O’Hara starred for the visitors. Five schools, Kent, Gunnery, Berkshire, Pawling, and Canterbury, formed a league at the end of last year’s season, known as the Tri-State League. Father Sill donated a trophy for the victor, which was to re¬ main permanently in competition. Gunnery won the League Champion¬ ship this year, losing only one game, and that to Kent. The School quintet ended in third place.

Page one hundred forty-one YEAR BOOK 1934 ®racb ENT has no organized Track Team; however, on one day late in the spring term, after the completion of the Crew, Baseball, and Tennis seasons, the forms gather on the upper fields and compete in track and field events for a trophy donated by Mr. Humphreys, a member of the faculty who has always been interested in this sport, and has done much to foster its development at Kent. Much enthusiasm is shown in this af¬ fair, and during the weeks immediately preceding its occurrence all who fancy themselves as track athletes practice their specialties assiduously, while the managers of the spring sports lay out and prepare the track for the struggle. During the last two years the Class of 1933 has dominated the track by virtue of its invincible sprinters and jumpers; however, now that this class has joined the ranks of the alumni, a bitter battle is forecast among the three upper forms for supremacy in this spring’s meet, and each is confident of victory. As was expected, the Class of ’33 ran away with the thirteenth an¬ nual meet, held at the end of last May; however, evidence that track abil¬ ity was not lacking in the lower forms was shown by the capable perform¬ ances which many of the members of the Third, Fourth, and Fifth Forms turned in, in pushing the Sixth Formers to the limit to win. The meet was further marked by an innovation—the institution of pole-vaulting as one of the events on the program. This was enthusiastically received, and it was only after a bitter struggle that Bobby McGay of the Sixth Form nosed out Vance of the Fourth Form and Blair of the Third to win. Strait, who was only a Second Former, distinguished himself by placing not only in this event but in the high jump and the hundred-yard dash as well, gaining eight points for his class. In the mile run, one of the main features of the day, Goodbody of the Sixth Form nosed out Andrews and Morgan of the Fifth Form by a bril¬ liant sprint at the finish to win in the good time of just over five minutes. The shot-put was likewise close, Baker, of the Fourth Form, out-tossing Dunham, of the Fifth, by eighteen inches. In the hundred-yard dash all eight finalists finished within ten feet of each other, and the judges at the finish-line had great difficulty in picking out the placers. It is to be hoped that some day in the not-too-distant future Track will take its place as one of the organized sports at Kent. Meanwhile, the forms will continue to gather on the Junior Field one day each year and contest in keen but friendly rivalry for a place on the surface of the bat¬ tered but none the less valued trophy.

Here are three tested ways to guide the family’s generous impulses toward an Elgin you’ll forever be proud of: 1. Suggest to the folks that, if Aunt Esther (or Uncle Gerald) should just possibly inquire what you’d like, they mention Elgin Model 550. This rarely fails to score! 2. Remark in your letters home that some of the boys are expecting new Elgin watches —and how lucky they are, etc., etc. Sure fire! 3. Arrange to have the current Elgin magazine advertise¬ ment, with models mysteriously check-marked, left where mother is sure to see it. Very effective. There are attractive Elgin models from $500 to $19 shown in the advertisements appearing in leading national mag¬ azines. Pick the one you want—and start your hinting now!
