Titus, graduate of Kent in 1909 and now Business Manager of the School, drew up the Constitution for the Student Council, he presented a document which has stood the test of time remarkably well. How well it has worked is shown by the fact that since that time there have been but two amendments. The first of these was passed in 1928, at which time the ever-increasing size of the Student Body, and the consequent growth of the Council members’ duties attendant upon it, made it necessary to increase the membership of the Council from seven to eleven. The second amendment, passed in the winter of 1935, provided that the sub-Prefect should automatically become a member of the Council. The Student Council at Kent, with perhaps broader powers than might be found in other preparatory schools, is in almost complete charge of the discipline of the School, and together with the Sixth Form inspectors forms the foundation on which the self-help system rests. It has charge of all assemblies and study halls, and together with the members of the Sixth Form is in general responsible for the conduct and tone of the School. Except in the case of the most severe offenses, it takes care of all disciplinary questions which may arise. At the present time the Council is composed of the three Prefects and the sub-Prefect, all of whom are appointed by the Headmaster, and who automatically become members of the body, one other Sixth Form member, who is chosen by his own classmates, three members from the Fifth Form, and three from the Fourth Form. Those from the two lower forms are elected by the entire School on a date near May first from a field of twelve candidates, of whom six are nominated from each form by that form which they are to represent in the coming year. The Council meets every Thursday night of the School term, at which time it receives and acts upon any comments or complaints from the Student Body or from the Faculty, discusses and takes action upon those problems which may have arisen in the preceding week, and dispenses advice and reproof to any whom it deems to be in need of them. During the past year, the following have served on the Council: Cyrus Roberts Vance ’35, Chairman: Robert Codington Jackson ’35, Secretary ; Beck¬ man Budd ’35; James Levering Tyson ’35; Lloyd Montgomery Shepard ’35; James Harrison Stanton ’36; Gifford Ladd ’36; Edgar Hull Whiting ’36; Richard Spelman Eustis, Jr. ’37, Sergeant-at-Arms ; Charles Ellicott Hewes ’37; Crozer Fox Martin ’37.

Page fifty-six TEAR BOOK 1935 History of the Class of 1935 PROBABLY no other class has made so insignificant a ■ debut as did the small group of “brats” who entered Kent on a memorable fall evening in 1930. The majority of the School was too absorbed in the suspicious opening of the twenty-fifth year to notice a few second formers, and although we received a hearty welcome from Rater as we trudged up the walk to the Main Building, and met our “guardian angels” at our first meeting in the study, amidst all the excitement of that fall we felt like mere dots on the horizon. And great events did happen that first autumn which dwarfed us even in our own eyes: the laying of the corner-stone of the new Chapel, the construction of the North Dorm, and the awe-inspiring victories of Sid Towle’s football team. But when we had elected Flagler president of the form and made our first attempts at self-govern¬ ment in the second form room, we began to consider ourselves for the first time an integral part of the Self-Help System. The associations with our ad¬ visor, “Bronx” Park, during the second form, sitting in his room of a Sunday evening, sipping cider, and listening to stories or the radio, are some of the warm¬ est memories of that year. Inti¬ mate contacts with the faculty have continued, and grown as we have grown, forming one of the most pleasant and valuable phases of school life. While we learned the rudi¬ ments of football on the midget field under “Toto” Walker’s tutelage, our attention was largely fixed on the exciting season of the first team, which ended in a blaze of glory when we trimmed Moose Aerie Bill Page fifty-seven Here THE KEHT SCHOOL Choate twenty to nothing at Wallingford. The victory was fitly celebrated by onr class in Waterbury on the way back. The picture of a rough and ready member of the form, who has since dropped out, complete with pipe and Granger Rough Cut, is one of the most vivid memories of that riotous trip. Nothing has ever equalled the thrill of our first de¬ parture for Christmas vacation, after a lusty singing of the Christmas hymns, and certainly no two weeks have ever gone faster than that brief respite before we were back again to the cold winter term. Hockey was organ¬ ized immediately and continued uninterrupted through the winter term. While our form team, captained by “Dazzy” Vance, won in their league, we watched Si Herrick lead the first team through an undefeated season of what seemed to us miraculous hockey. The winter passed rapidly, a season of cold weather and enormous appetites, and before we knew it we were “on our way rejoicing” again for the Spring vacation. This was lengthened a few days to allow some of us to be present at the testimonial dinner given to Father Sill at the Hotel Commodore to cele¬ brate his sixtieth birthday and the twenty-fifth anniversary of the School. The spring vacation was also over in record time but upon our return we were swept into a series of events that kept us en¬ grossed until Prize Day. The day after the last service in the old Chapel, held on Palm Sun¬ day, we moved into the beautiful new edifice. We had been eagerly watching each stage in its development ever since we entered the School, so that it hardly seemed new to us as we took part in the first service. As the years have gone by it has taken on an even greater beauty and significance. The eastern¬ most window in the south wall of Dick Beek Chappy Page fifty-eight TEAR BOOK 1935 Akt Hotbread the Chapel, bearing the inscription “Fidelitas,” was the gift of our form. When the fourth formers on the floor below us in the Main Building moved into the new North Dorm, recently completed, we were allowed to take over their rooms, only returning to the attic at odd intervals to hold boxing bouts, which had been organized secretly on free evenings. Mai Baker, being too mighty for any one else, acted as referee. After a few thrilling and bloodthirsty evenings, however, an inspector happened upon the scene, and then all boxing ceased. Meanwhile we were engaged in the regular spring athletics, providing the third baseman for the Junior base¬ ball team, and organizing a stellar form crew, stroked by Vance, and coached by Mr. Walker, which lost its race in the final regatta by only a few feet, because one powerful oar, who shall remain mercifully unnamed, caught a 44 1 n era!) . May first rolled around and with much “hullaballoo” the rock was painted. We watched in awe as the fifth form took over the School, innocently believing that Senior Prefect Colmore was having an awfully hard time making up his mind before he tapped Roscoe as his successor. School life soon re¬ sumed its normal course in spite of the change, and we began to look forward to our first Prize Day. A flood of other pleasant memories, too numerous to men¬ tion, come to mind,—games of tennis or “nigger baby” during the spring evenings, the forma¬ tion of a jazz orchestra, the sixth form prom, following the crew races down the state road, and the consecration of the Chapel on Memorial Day. Prize Day soon cut short the most enjoy¬ able term of the year, however, and after watching our idols of the sixth form graduate, we re¬ turned home, no longer “brats”. Palm Page fifty-nine THE KEHT SCHOOL Joe m The day when we ourselves should walk up the hill to the status of alumni seemed indeed far away. The opening of our third form year was postponed two weeks because of the infantile paralysis which was sweeping the country, but we finally arrived, seasoned veterans, and determined to make everyone, especially the second form, realize the fact. We found that twenty-four new fellows had entered our class, an unusually large and strong addition for the third form year, and with the majority of the form room¬ ing in the palatial new North Dorm, we started off with by no means so humble an attitude as we had had the year before. After a few efforts at “big time” had been subdued, however, we settled down to the steady routine of school life. In football, we began to take a more active interest in the Junior League, and provided the backbone of the Junior team which defeated Pawling. We also settled down to our studies more seriously, finding them much harder than the second form courses. Mr. Franklin, an exchange master from Westminster School, Eng¬ land, was our English teacher, and we must have given him many a difficult day in the class room, attempting to instill his mother tongue into our none too receptive craniums. The first team had a fair sea¬ son, beating Hotchkiss, but bow¬ ing to a powerful Choate eleven. The highlight of this season was ltoscoe’s passing of the pigskin about the field like a tennis ball. On the last morning of the term, a minor tragedy nearly oc¬ curred when the school did a poor job of cleaning up and al¬ most missed the train. After Pater let us out of assembly about three minutes before train time, there followed a mad dash to the station and a frantic search for our suitcases among the pile, before the train pulled in. Jack Bob Hammy Page sixty TEAR BOOK 1935 The day after this hasty departure, Bud Hammond victory over Morristown in Madison Square Garden for tl Trophy. This was practically the last game of the season was disgustingly warm and sloppy. x ll manner of diver¬ sions, such as paper chases over the near by mountains, games of cross-country touch from the bridge to the Bed Barn, and even horse-shoe pitching, were devised to keep thestudentbody amused, while “Sergeant Jim” Humphreys organized drill squads which went through maneuvers with broomstick rifles every afternoon on the football field. But these games soon began to pall, and, as every¬ one had to be outdoors from three to four-thirty, the devil soon found work for our idle hands. This consisted mainly of swiping honey from the bee-hives below the school at the risk of getting stung (literally), or of riding the school cows which were grazing in the fields in the same vicinity. Mouse-catching also became the rage, and trapping expeditions were organized during the afternoons which “brought ’em back alive” in no small numbers. Nor was the hunting confined to mice. Flying squirrels, everyday squir¬ rels, baby eagles, all were caught and caged in a noisy menagerie in the Infirmary basement. Some basketball was organ¬ ized in the middle of the winter when all hopes of hockey were abandoned, and a team led by Jerry Roscoe managed to make a creditable showing against Canterbury. Mai Baker was the only third former to make the team. Another product of the sultry winter was the organization of a fifth form Dramatic Society, which gave a comedy, “The Turning of the Tide”, written by a certain dramatist, Hamilton Hall, who, in the last analysis, turned out to be none other than Ash led the hockey team to e first leg on the Ranger however ' , for the winter Mal Page sixty-one THE KEHT SCHOOL Cherub Prince the Reverend Headmaster. This successful production led to other dramatic efforts in the years following. As the warm weather also enabled crews to get on the river earlier than usual, the first boat held work-outs in January for the first time in the history of the school. The results of these early sessions were evident, when the crew started a highly successful season by beating the Harvard lightweight varsity and setting a course record. This Kent eight was undefeated except by a powerful Yale freshman crew, while at the schoolboy regatta held on the School course to commemorate the tenth year of Kent rowing, they defeated such rivals as Hun, Tabor and Asheville. Our own form crew, again stroked by Vance, went uncon¬ quered throughout the season, defeating a strong fourth form boat which almost won the final regatta. Baker, Jackson, Borsdorff, and C. Jordan made the second baseball team, while Bill Stayer received the form’s first ’varsity letter when he made the tennis squad. We witnessed the change of administration with less excite¬ ment this year, but with the election of Vance, Flagler, and Baker to the Council we began to take a more intelligent inter¬ est in the School goverment. The last pleasant days of the term passed quickly. For the first time we observed the cus¬ tom of going up to NumeralRock on Ascension Day to bless the crops of the valley, and our first form party at the lake was also held. But soon examinations were over and we were off to an¬ other carefree vacation with little thought for the fate of the upper formers, which was to be ours in another year. We returned for our fourth form year with a more matured confidence in our standing as old Kent fellows, but now felt too lofty to stoop to impress the fact Tuffit Jack Penny Page sixty-two TEAR BOOK 1935 on the new arrivals. Again a good-sized addition was made to the form, largely consisting of the “Baltimore Club”. We had the same amount of difficulties, the “growing pains”, that fourth forms always seem to go through, blit they did not consist so much of getting into trouble as of splitting into cliques, among them the famous society of “crabbers”. The Boards now loomed ominously on the horizon, and w r e settled down to the increasingly difficult course of study with a more definite goal in mind. Our participa¬ tion in athletics also became more active, for although we had no men on the first squad, the backbone of “Toto” Walker’s undefeated second football team was from our form. Soon after the opening of School Vance was elected form president, coincident with the heated campaign which was being waged in the great outside world. A little of the excitement penetrated to our own peaceful life, and political parties were organized within the School. J°ck Besides the two major parties, there was a strong Socialistic group, and a small band of deter¬ mined Prohibitionists, who ral¬ lied around the banner of that great orator, Frank llealy, in backing Anthony Upshaw for the presidency. At a School meeting held on election eve, campaign speeches were made by the sixth form “bosses”, followed by a straw vote, in which Hoover was given a large majority, and Norman Thomas, to his supporters’ surprise, upset Roosevelt by a fair margin. The highlight of the annual Thanksgiving day celebration was another production by the aforementioned dramatic society, now sixth formers. This time they attempted a more difficult piece, Oscar Wilde ' s “The Im¬ portance of Being Earnest”, which proved a distinct success. After this holiday the rest of the i Pot term passed rapidly and un- Rosy Nick Page .sixty-three THE KETiT SCHOOL eventfully. The fact that the closing weeks were as balmy as Spring was an ominous forecast of another warm winter. Again the hockey team defeated Morristown in the Garden, but again they were able to play only a few games during the rest of the season, and those only by taking advantage of ice at Leonard’s Pond or Preston Mountain. We were more used to warm winters now, however, and found numerous ways to amuse ourselves. After the success of informal basketball the year before, the game was organized officially for the first time in the School’s history, and practice was held every afternoon in the Community House. The team, led by Dick Tully, had a fairly suc¬ cessful season, the highlight of which was a victory over Choate, so that we can boast of defeating Choate in our first encounter in basketball, as well as football and hockey. Baker and Jackson represented our form on the Goose team, and at the final banquet the latter was elected Captain for the next year. As was the case the previous winter, crews were able to get on the river early, our form crew be¬ ing organized and taking a spin the first part of February. The first squad was looking forward to the Henley trip and found the early practice most valuable, especially in getting used to the new shorter stroke which Pater introduced. The day after we Hob returned from Spring Vacation, Andy they opened the season by de¬ feating the Harvard lightweights again, and continued the season undefeated, beating the Yale Freshmen at Derby in a thrilling race. Our form crew, in its first outside race, defeated the Man¬ hattan lightweights by a good margin. It was the latter’s first year of rowing. In baseball our form was rep¬ resented by Jackson at shortstop Shep position and “Squad A Barry” Bill Page sixty-four TEAR BOOK 1935 Willie Yokel Wood, who earned that name for himself snagging flies out in right field. The day when we should take over the School’s administration seemed nearer as we watched the form above us assume responsibility on May first, and Vance, Baker, and Jackson were elected to the council from our numbers. Soon afterwards, the annual Fathers’ Day celebration was held, while the week-end two weeks later was reserved strictly for the Mothers, There was the fathers’ and sons’ baseball game as usual, and a fathers’ crew on the river coxed by Father Sill himself. The Mothers saw the finals of the form regatta and the Man¬ hattan races, and in the evening were given an informal concert by the Musical Clubs. In the inter-form track meet, the sixth form won easily, but we managed to nose out the fifth form, chiefly by virtue of “Shep’s” winged feet in the sprints. We wit¬ nessed Prize Day that year without the usual excitement, for we faced “cram week and College Board Examina¬ tions for the first time and watched the younger fellows depart with envious eyes. The first crew also left for Henley and we were able to follow the accounts of their victories until they returned later with the prized Thames Challenge Cup. (’ram week was not so bad as we had feared, with swims at Hop- son’s Lake, iced tea in the after¬ noon, and occasional pipes in the evening. The dreaded boards were finally over after much awe-inspiring red tape. We returned in the fall of ’33, anticipating an important year, in many ways the most signifi¬ cant for each of us and for the form as a whole. It was the year in which our class would take over the School administra¬ tion, prefects would be chosen, as well as captains of sports, and it would be the most difficult and vital year in studies of our School career. W e soon found that the Steve Strebe Fish Page sixty-five THE KEKT SCHOOL English course was the most difficult, but it was also in many ways the most instructive and entertaining, and besides always provided an invaluable excuse for not doing other assignments. During the summer the School had received a gift from the Carnegie Corporation of an art library and collection of prints, which was housed in the Faculty Common Room. This together with the Music Room, a gift of the Fathers’ Association, made a valuable addition to the cultural life of the School and provided another oppor¬ tunity for independent study. Eight of our members came back for early football and five of them were in the first line-up when the team, led by “Wh iz” Craig, defeated Hackley in the opening game. They went on to defeat Milford the next week but this was the last victory, although the team will go down in School history as one of the hardest-fighting teams Kent has ever known, being outweighed ten pounds per man almost every game. Bee k Budd was elected captain at the end of the season. To settle a long-standing dispute, our form team played a post-season struggle against a sixth form aggregation coached by Father Sill. After a rather shady interception of a pass which resulted in a touchdown, our elders managed to stave off all our deter¬ mined drives, and won the game 6-0 After another gala Thanksgiving Day celebration, the term passed rapidly, with a few days of skating giving an earnest of the cold winter to come. And the winter was cold, the coldest since our first year here, allowing the hockey team to practice regularly and to complete a highly successful season, defeated only by the Yale Freshmen. In the middle of February a severe blizzard hit the School, which deposited about four feet of snow, held up classes one morning, and kept all mail and supplies from the School for two days. This encouraged tobogganing, however, and slides above the Midget field were developed, providing many breath-taking runs on the home-made toboggans. It was the first part of March that Allison and Boles, with the rest of the sixth form, produced the “Maladies of ’34’’, a musical comedy that will be remembered here for many years to come. The Coffee Room scene in particular stands worthy to be ranked with the classics of stage history. The music was provided by the Jazz Orchestra, which these fellows had organized in our second form year, and which had been playing at the evening meal on Saturday for four years. We returned after the Spring Vacation in anxious anticipation of May first, but meanwhile settled down to more immediate interests. We contributed seven fellows to the baseball nine, while four of our members made the first crew. Our form crew, stroked by Joe Fremd, won the right to row the Yale second Freshmen, WOODIE Page sixty-nix TEAR BOOK 1935 Beau on the day when the varsity heat tlie first Freshmen in a thrilling race. Later they raced the strong St. Mark’s first boat, losing by only a few feet. It is notable that onr form could produce a strong form boat while having seven other fellows on the first and second squads. Meanwhile the paint committee had been busy and procured the paint, which was stored in the stock room, while Pickard supervised an expedition to mark out the numerals on the rock with chalk. The sixth form weakly attempted to carry on the old custom of slamming us in assembly during the week before May 1st and climaxed it by discovering the paint colors and bringing a small-sized reproduction of the rock fully painted into assembly. In no way nonplussed by this treachery, however,we trooped up to the rock on May first with paint and ropes, and when tackle had been slung down over the rock, Vance applied the first daubs of silver paint before a battery of cameras. In the bright sun which was shining at the time the silver actually hurt the eyes, and when the crim¬ son was applied to the numerals it made a brilliant com¬ bination indeed. There were wild stories circulating later of automobile accidents that happened on the state road because of the glare from the rock on a bright day, but the sixth formers claimed that the silver would soon wash off, and that anyway the rock looked like a Socony sign. Hut after almost a year of snow and rain the rock is still shin¬ ing, worthy to signify a bright and steadfast form! ' Fhe great evening finally arrived. N ance, Jackson, and Budd were chosen prefects, and we followed them onto the platform to assume the duties of inspec¬ tors for the first time. Then came the big thrill of taking up lights and the next morning of doing inspections and handing in our first self-conscious reports, but our new honors soon cleaved to their mould with the aid of use, and life went on in much the same way, albeit with a greater feeling of responsibility and interest. Red Page sixty-seven THE KENT SCHOOL The rest of the term passed rapidly, and Prize Day was soon upon us, carrying with it an added significance, for we realized that in another year it would be we who would be climbing the hill to the form house winding up our lives as school boys. Five of our members left the next day with the Henley squad which again jour¬ neyed to England to defend the cup. Unfortunately they drew a powerful op¬ ponent in the first race and lost by a close margin, but the cup had been defended without any loss of honor, and the trip was undoubtedly a wonderful experience. “Beau” Wright was elected captain, after which the fellows split up, some to re¬ turn home, and others to take bicycle trips through Germany, France, and Eng¬ land, which were the subject of many a good “bull session” when School opened again. The whole form returned two days early from summer vacation to help in getting the School ready for the opening of the twenty-ninth year, and most of the form went out for early football practice. The whole School arrived on September eighteenth and the year opened smoothly. We found ourselves full-fledged sixth formers at last, sitting in the stalls in Chapel, and enjoying the society of Pater in our “club room”, the study, at tea and in the evening. A new addition to the School was the Sports Building erected on the west side of Alumni Field, a gift of the Fathers’ Association, which proved to be invaluable to the rising interest in winter indoor sports. In the opening game the team defeated Loomis 6-0 in the first encounter with that school in fourteen years, but with the exception of the Westminster game which was won by 13-7, the season could hardly be called successful from the score standpoint. It was an enjoyable season, nevertheless, for those who love the game, and the squad enjoyed pleasant associations with Bill Nadal and Dave Tir- rell, who had returned to the school after a two years’ absence. At the football banquet in the study thirteen of our number received letters. During the idle days following football, soccer games were organized on the junior field, and after a week of practice an aggregation defeated South Kent, 8-1. The same evening a chess team which had been hastily organized by Chapman also defeated the South Kent players in the first outside match by the chess team in three years. On November twenty-fourth most of the form took advantage of the annual permission to go to New Haven and see the Harvard-Yale game. The game was of special interest as we were able to watch the remarkable passing of Jerry Roscoe, which we remembered well from third form year, and which was responsible for both of Yale’s touchdowns in their 14-0 victory. The School was given permission to go home over Thanksgiving for the first time since we have been here, and most of the fellows took advantage of the oppor¬ tunity, either to go home or to visit friends. This afforded a welcome break in the otherwise idle period until vacation. Good skating on Fathers’ Pond further helped to speed the time until our last Christmas as schoolboys. During the vacation a delegation of six fellows and two masters from Radley School, England, arrived in America for a visit in accordance with the custom originated by Father Sill of inviting a group over every three years, to further the Page sixty-eight TEAR BOOK 1935 cause of the Anglo-American friendship. After being entertained by Kent fellows in New York, Baltimore, Philadelphia and Washington, they came up to Kent on the opening night of term to pay a visit of ten days, noting all the aspects of school life, the council meetings, rehearsals of the musical clubs, and various athletic con¬ tests. On the last night of their visit a debate w r as held on the subject, “Resolved: That War is Inevitable”, in which two of their group and Jim Reeve, the English Exchange scholar in our class, took the affirmative side, and three of the sixth form members of the Debating Society argued the negative. After a sparkling and energetic debate the Englishmen w ' ere accorded the victory, chiefly through the nimble persuasion of Jim Reeve in his rebuttal. Since they had never heard any organized cheering the whole school gave them a “K.K.K.” in the Dining Hall at their last meal. For our form especially, which had a chance to meet them often in the study, their visit was most enjoyable, and did much to carry on the purpose furthered by the Henley trips and the Anglo-American scholarships. Father Sill, as president of the Alpha Delta Phi Fraternity made a trip to some of the western colleges in the early part of the winter. He returned after two weeks enthusiastic about the trip and the tone of the colleges which he had visited. On February twentieth the school was immeasurably saddened by the death of “Pop” Voorhees, who passed away just as we were rising in the morning. Either in his Latin classes or in receiving advice from him as senior master, every fellow in the form has come under the influence of “Pop’s” wise and helpful guidance, and the loss of his jolly, kindly presence was the one sad event in an otherwise happy year of School life. The winter was a satisfactory one in respect to ice, and the hockey team played many hard-fought games, the most outstanding being the encounter in which they held the strong Yale Freshmen to a 2-1 score. The basketball team in the second year of Jackson’s captaincy had a successful season. The Sport Build¬ ing provided a much bigger and more accessible court than the Community House, and the lower forms were given a chance to play for the first time. A wrestling squad was organized by Mr. Colmore in the basement of the building, but it did not have any outside matches. There were two more events of interest during our last winter term, which the early date of publication of this volume does not allow us to record elsewhere. Charles Wagner, determining to enter business next fall, was admitted to our form, and expects to graduate with us next June. On March 10, in honor of Pater’s sixty-first birthday, a group of Fourth Formers presented “In the Zone”,a one-act drama by Eugene O’Neill. Coached by Mr. Baker, their able perform¬ ance drew r an enthusiastic response from the Student Body and Faculty. And now ' we look forward to the final and most important chapter of our Class History yet to be written, the Spring Term, which this year promises well to be a fitting climax to our lives as schoolboys. It may come upon us as we kneel before the altar to receive our diplomas, that we owe the school and Pater a debt far beyond our power to pay, but w ? e can thank the genius of the self-help system which has allow ' ed us to requite in some small measure that debt, especially in this our last year. And happily our history does not end with Prize Day. In years to come we may always keep in touch with our fellow ' members of the class of ’35, and returning to school, renew ' the contacts and revive the memories of what have been some of the happiest years of our life.

Jackson THE QUARTET Wood I Icy l Trimble Parker TEAR BOOK 1935 The Musical Organizations r I ' HE YEAR 1935, the seventh in the regime of Mr. R. Lee Gilliam as master - ■ in charge of music at Kent, has proved again that though talent may come and talent may go, Mr. Gilliam turns out year after year a set of musical organiza¬ tions of which the School may well be proud. Where one organization fails, for some reason or other, a second springs up to take its place, with the result that the music department at Kent seems to flow on in an undisturbed stream. This year’s musical program has been much the same as that of other years, but for the fact that the Jazz orchestra, mortally wounded by the graduation or departure of the pianist, three saxophones, a cornet, the drummer, and the tuba player, has died, for the time being at least, though it is hoped it will come back with renewed vigor next year. There was increased activity in other directions, however, as Mr. Gilliam organized a group of Second Formers for voice training and spent more time with the form choirs in an effort to improve the general tone of the School, with especial emphasis on the Chapel work. It might be mentioned in this connection that work on the Missa de Angelis has been continued, and small portions attempted of the Missa de Marialis, which will be more fully developed as time goes on. The Classical Orchestra, too, has been augmented this year, with more diver¬ sified instrumentation. The orchestra is larger than it has been in the past, and a greater degree of interest has been shown in it. The class in musical appreciation, open to members of the Sixth Form and the Faculty, has been continued this year, with classes meeting in the Music Room in the North Dormitory, where radio and vietrola are in constant use. And last but not least, the Glee Club and Quartet have continued the fine work which they have always shown. The emphasis has been on the balance of parts in the Glee Club, and quality of rendition has been sought rather than a large repertoire. The Quartet, moreover, has shown unusual talent, and Heyl, Wood, Trimble and Parker have achieved notable results. At the time that the Year Book goes to press, neither of these organizations have appeared in public concerts except on Mothers’ Day in the Fall, when they entertained the assembled mothers after the Taft football game, but other engagements are pending, and it is hoped that combination concerts may be arranged with some of the schools of the neighborhood. Hotchkiss has been invited to sing with the School Glee Club at Kent on March thirteenth, and efforts are being made for joint concerts with Wooster and Berkshire. At the present writing, however, all is tentative. But our hopes are high, and we may safely conclude that all of the Musical Organizations will show up well in any concerts that may be attempted. It is obvious then, that Mr. Gilliam’s charges have prospered this year under his direc¬ tion, and it is our earnest hope that they may continue to do so, growing and progressing under his untiring efforts in their behalf.

Hart, Hensel, Kimball THE MUSIC ROOM TEAR BOOK 1935 Bebatin I TNTIL the fall of 1933, debating at Kent had lain dormant for twenty years, despite spasmodic attempts to awaken it. At that time, however, a society was formed under the direction of Mr. Titus and with the co-operation of Father Sill, and officers were elected. It soon became evident, however, that ability in public speaking would have to be developed before debating could be taken up seriously. To this end tlie society worked with Mr. Baker, who gave them valu¬ able instruction in oratory. In the fall of 1934, those Sixth Formers who had been interested in the project the year before met and decided that the policy of developing sound speakers before attempting debates should be continued, and with this end in view drew up a constitution with the aid and advice of Mr. Morgan, master of English, who continued with the club in the capacity of faculty advisor. In the course of the first meeting, which was attended by all those remaining from the organization of the previous year, Paul Yardley, Montgomery Shepard, and John Miller, all of the Sixth Form, were elected President and co-Secretaries, respectively. From the Fifth Form, deForrest Keyes and George Overton were elected to complete the Executive Council, which body was created for the purpose of electing senior members, deciding topics for debates, and dealing with any matters of policy which might arise. The group which now applied for admission was divided into two parts, composed of senior and junior members. Former members automatically fell into the first classification, while all others had to make a creditable speech in the presence of the assembled society before the Executive Council voted them senior members. The constitution also stated that only senior members should have the right to debate and to vote on motions before the meeting. The first debate of the year, on the topic, “Resolved, that war is inevitable”, was held between Yardley, Waring Strebeigh, and Miller, of the Kent club, and M. T. I . Underhill and R. L. Clutterbuck, from Radley College, who, together with I). A. G. Reeve, this year ' s Anglo-American scholar at Kent, made up one of the first English schoolboy teams ever to face a similar body from America. The English, taking the affirmative, won handily. During the Winter Term, intra-mural debates were held at every third meet¬ ing, while the club continued to hammer away at the art of elocution, under the direction of Mr. Morgan, in the intervening sessions. For a time during this term it was deemed advisable to have the club meet in two sections, so that the junior members might be able to speak more often. These junior meetings were under the supervision of Mr. Morgan and some of the more experienced senior members, and through them much valuable experience and poise was gained by the juniors. At the senior meetings, extemporaneous speeches became more and more prevalent and by the end of the year there was a definite improvement noted. Thus, endowed with the spark of life by the members of the class of 1934, and built into a strong and lasting body by 1935, the Debating Society seems at last to have found its place in the sun at Kent.

Necessarily, under conditions where the majority of the subscribers are outside the School, the editorial content has been so limited to include only such topics as hold some interest for this group. The 1935 Hoard began the twentieth year of the News with the earnest desire to keep up the standards set by former Boards, to reflect the true principles of the School in its columns, to improve the paper wherever possible in the realms of good journalism, and to make its columns more interesting as a whole to Alumni, parents, and boys by inserting articles on the activities of Alumni and others prominently connected with the School, and other subjects in which the friends of Kent are continually interested. With the aid and advice of the Daily Princetonian Association of Preparatory School Newspapers, now two years old, the present Board has tried to improve the appearance of the paper and to cultivate a true journalistic style in its columns. An effort has been made to make the Alumni Column extensive in its coverage of the college activities of Alumni, because the Board feels that such information is not only of interest to the Alumni, who form the largest group of subscribers, but also arouses in the boys school spirit and pride in the accomplishments of their predecessors. In an attempt to modify the appearance of the headlines, a slight change in the type has been made, and the general style has been altered to give more variety in the make-up. To give the editorial page much needed promi¬ nence, it was changed to four columns instead of five, and the type was enlarged in size. Whenever possible, pictures have been used to relieve the usual blank appearance of the pages, and to obviate the usual expense of making new engrav¬ ings, old ones which had recently been catalogued for future use were employed. In addition to its affiliation with the Daily Princetonian Association, the News is a charter member of the Connecticut School Newspaper Federation. During recent years the activity of this organization has been gradually curtailed because of waning interest. At the end of the last school year, the president, Deerfield Academy’s Scroll, suggested that by mutual consent the Federation be discontinued until such a time when it should seem advantageous to reorganize. Throughout the past term of office, the Board has been striving to educate the heelers from the lower forms in the methods of good newspaper work. In retiring, it feels that the News is being left in capable and experienced hands, and that the issues printed under the direction of the members of the Class of 1936 should prove more than satisfactory to the subscribers.

Humphrey, President of the Fathers ' Association, represent another of the many ties which knit Kent and our brother nation together. Under the able tutelage of Instructor Attwater. Kent’s Ringing Guild has made great progress since the Easter Eve four years ago w hen the ancient Ilousatonic hills first echoed to the tintinabulating reverberation of the bells. The Guild advanced towards the ultimate goal of all ringers, to complete the five thousand and forty changes of a peal, when twice last spring quarter peals were rung on the tower bells. Three of the band, Attwater, Chairman Bosson, and Wheelock, came close to participating in what would have been the second peal ever rung in America, when on two occasions on the Groton School bells they completed, with the aid of several veteran English ringers from Boston, two-thirds of the Grandsire Triples peal composition before falling out of schedule. Chiming and lmnd-bell ringing are also a part of the Band’s curriculum. Chiming every Sunday afternoon is done by Mr. Attwater or one of the Guild members. Hand bell ringing is done with the same system as the tower bells. The most recent accomplishment in this line is the ringing of a quarter peal, the first ever done on hand-bells in the United States. With only three of this year’s first band graduating, and with an enthusiastic group of lower formers to draw from, next year should be a notable one for the Ringing Guild. Left to right.

Welles ’31, who led the Chess Team against such organizations as the West Point Plebes and the Yale ’Varsity, the Chess Club was revived last year. With Robert Smith as president and Fr. Gorham as coach, a tournament was organized and considerable progress shown in style of play. There was no provision made, however, for a permanent organization, so that when a challenge was received last December from the newly organized South Kent Chess Club, there was no official body to represent the School. Under Fr. Gorham’s direction a group of enthusiasts was hastily assembled, and the match was played on December the ninth. Booth, Van Rensselaer, Chapman, Tyson, Cranmer and Ayres, who formed the School team, were victorious by the score of five matches to one. After the success of this contest, a number of those interested in the game decided to form a club. Fr. Gorham consented to assume the duties of coach, while Chapman was appointed president. A tournament was held to determine the ranking, in which Chapman proved his ability by capturing first place. Booth, Cranmer, Van Rensselaer and Vanamee, who followed in the order named, completed the team. At the conclusion of this tournament, intra-mural play wsa continued, so that the ranking order was subject to continual change. A return match with South Kent on February the seventh terminated in a draw. Chapman and Van Rensselaer won for Kent, while Cranmer and Vanamee succumbed to their opponents. Booth, whose match had to be continued a second evening, was finally declared to have drawn with his opponent, since neither player possessed a distinct advantage after two evenings of play. Thanks to Fr. Gorham’s coaching, the members of the team showed considerable improve¬ ment in their style of play in this contest. Page ninety-six TEAR BOOK 1935 Fathers’ and Mothers’ Association 17 VER since the autumn of 1009, when Father Sill called a meeting of the fathers in New York City to discuss various matters pertaining to the life at Kent, the Fathers’ Association has been an integral part of the School life, and one which has contributed to Kent in many and divers ways. It has aided materially in the construction of the Chapel, Dining Hall, and North Dormitory, as well as equipping the School with the music room, athletic fields, and the well known Fathers’ Pond. Their most recent addition to the School plant is the Winter Sports Building. Constructed during the summer of 1994 from plans by Willis N. Mills, this structure provides a home court for the basketball team, as well as furnishing room for wrestling and handball in the basement. At the fourteenth annual meeting of the Fathers’ Association, held on May sixth, 1994, the officers of the year before were re-elected, leaving Mr. Humphrey as President, Mr. K. Davis as Vice President, Mr. oorhees as S ecretary, and Mr. Goodbody as Chairman of the Fathers’ Athletic Association. It was decided that the proposed Sports Building should be paid for by the Association. The Mothers’ Association also showed their generosity to the School by re¬ furnishing the guest apartments in the Auditorium annex most attractively. Gathering two weeks after the fathers last spring, they met on May the thirteenth, and again in the fall on November fourth. This autumn date was chosen for the 1994-35 meeting because of the congestion which the two parents’ meetings often caused when they occurred close together in the spring. At both meetings of the Association, the mothers were taken by the Headmaster on a personally con¬ ducted tour of the School plant. Each year the functions of the two parents ' associations increase, and the School has even more reason to look forward to their visits and to feel grateful for their efforts in its behalf. Page ninety-seven THE KEHT SCHOOL The Alumni Association T7OH MED with three members in the year 1907, when the first Sixth Form at Kent received their diplomas, the Kent School Alumni Association, in which all graduates of the School are automatically enrolled, has since then grown to a membership of nearly a thousand. There are no regular dues, each alumnus pay¬ ing what he can, just as each Kent parent pledges what he can for tuition. Any¬ thing left in the treasury at the end of the year is devoted to some need of the school or transferred to the Alumni Endowment Fund. Five members of the Association are elected to serve on the Alumni Council, which body was first instituted in 1915, to visit the School each year on a tour of inspection. The Council discusses with the Headmaster, the Business Manager, faculty members, and the Student Council any problems which may have arisen during the year, also interviewing members of the Neivs Board, and receiving re¬ ports from the various other School organizations, as well as any suggestions which members of the Student Body may have for improvements or additions to Kent. The Alumni Council meeting this year was held over the week-end of Feb¬ ruary second. Chairman Russel Post, ’23, William W. Grant, ’27, Lawrence M. Noble, ’23, W. Halsey Wood, TO, and T. Dixon Walker, T9, Secretary, were present, while Robert G. Donald, ’34 was invited to represent the younger alumni and Kent freshmen at college. Edward T. Gushee, TO, was unable to attend. Following their arrival at School Friday night, the Council was entertained at dinner by the Headmaster in the Study. Discussion of various phases of the School life were held at this time. The next day was given over to interviewing. Sunday morning Russel Post addressed the assembled School, in his speech likening the Neivs to a letter from home for Alumni far distant from the School, and presented Sixth Form members of the News Board with gold watch charms. It is worthy of note that the Class of ’33 held its second reunion at School over the week-end of February 22-23. Many of that Class were able to attend, and the affair was so thoroughly successful that our only regret is that more of the classes do not return as groups. The annual Alumni week-end this year will be held as in the past at some time during the month of May, and not at Easter, as was the case last year. In closing it is only fitting that we shonld thank Mr. Walker for his unflagging efforts in behalf of the Association. It is through him, as Alumni Secretary, that the News is sent to the various Alumni all over the world, and that the arduous compilation of the Alumni Directory is carried out.

Except for a thrilling four-foot defeat by the Princeton Freshmen, they were unbeaten in this country, triumphing over the Yale Freshmen, the Manhattan ' Varsity, and Law- renceville School. While the world outside shivered and two feet of ice still covered the surface of the Housatonic River, the rowing room in the basement of the Main Building hummed with activity as preparations for the forthcoming campaign were begun under the direction of Coach Sill and Coxswain-Captain Baetjer. February and March passed, however, without opportunity to take to the water, and it was not until April the second that the first and second eights were able to begin their daily workouts on the river. Without doubt the unusually long pre-season drill on the machines helped greatly in producing a finished crew, for it afforded ample opportunity to correct individual faults which are apt to go unchecked once actual rowing starts. After a number of experiments, the boating of the first shell was determined as follows: Captain Baetjer, coxswain; R. A. Davies, stroke; Hum¬ phreys, seven; P. M. Wick, six; Manning, five; Wright, four: Coit, three; Flagler, two; A. Derby, bow. Of this number, Baetjer and Humphreys had been on the 1933 Henley crew, while Davies and Coit had rowed in the second boat that year. The other five members of the crew had had previous experience only on form crews. On April the eighteenth, scarcely two weeks after they had commenced work on the river, the first and second eights journeyed to Princeton to meet their first opponents of the season. Greater experience and coordinati on gave the 150- pound Tiger yearlings an easy victory over the Kent seconds. The other Page one hundred one THE KEHT SCHOOL B. WRIGHT Captain of Crew race, however, between the first School crew and the heavy Freshmen, provided its share of thrills, for the latter emerged victorious only after the stiffest of struggles. The schoolboys’ gallant effort to overcome an early lead failed by a scant four feet. Tom Potter, a member of the Kent second crew in 1933, stroked a beautiful race for the Freshmen. April the twenty-eighth showed the crew at its best form in an exciting race with the Yale heavy Freshmen. Intensive coaching in the ten days after the Princeton race had served to eliminate many faults noticeable in the first test. Taking an early lead, the School crew held a slim advantage un til near the end, where Yale made a last desperate effort to forge ahead. Stroke Davies met the challenge, and using a short lay-back and fast leg-jam, the proteges of Coach Sill sped across the line four feet in the lead. The Henley distance was covered in the splendid time of 6:21. It is inter¬ esting to note that Johnson and Peterkin, two mem¬ bers of the 1933 Henley crew, rowed in the Yale shell. Earlier in the week the Fifth Form crew, rowing together with a unison which seemingly could not be obtained in the regular second crew, had twice defeated that organization, thereby winning the right to be called the second crew. As such they raced against the second Yale heavy Freshmen. Outweighed heavily, they put up a game fight, but finally succumbed by two and a half lengths to their college opponents. A week later this Fifth Form crew in the special Inter¬ form Regatta held on Fathers’ Day, defeated the first Fourth Form eight over a mile course. On May the twelfth the waters of the Housatonic were churned by no less than four Kent eights racing in competition against outside crews. First the Fourth Form crew rowed a dead heat with the Choate Fifth Form crew. Then in a splendid exhibition of power and coordination the Fifth Form aggregation, stroked by Fremd, defeated the Manhattan Junior ’Varsity by one and one half lengths. Following this victory the former second crew led the Manhattan 150-pound ’Varsity by the same margin. In the final race the first crew was impressive in defeating the Manhattan Varsity by two full lengths. All three Manhattan HUMPHREY crews got off to faster starts than their schoolboy Chairman of Crew I age one hundred two TEAR BOOK 1935 T. GILMAN Manager of Crew opponents, but were unable to hold their leads under the pressure of the space-eating Kent strokes. May the twelfth was an important day in Kent rowing not only because of the above mentioned events on the river, but also for the fact that in the School Meeting that night Father Sill announced definitely that as holders of the Thames Challenge Cup, the Kent School Boat Club woidd return the Cup per¬ sonally and would defend it at Henley. Four days later, continuing the recently inaugurated custom of having form crews compete in outside races, the second Fourth Form eight was sent to Wallingford, where they defeated the Choate Sixth Form crew by a length over a five-eighths of a mile course. A three-length victory over Lawrenceville School on May the twenty-sixth came as a fitting climax to the first crew’s season in home waters. Rowing a delib¬ erate stroke, the Kent oarsmen pulled away steadily, crossing the finish line in for the mile course. The second crew, formerly the Fifth Form crew, concluded their season on the same day in a race with the St. Mark’s first crew. Outweighed fourteen pounds to the man, the second crew battled every inch of the way, but finally lost by the slight margin of nine feet. On Monday the fourth of June the finals of the Interform Regatta were held. The (’lass of 1936 scored a clean sweep, as the first Fourth Form crew, stroked by Ruprecht, defeated the Sixth Form for the championship of Division A, and the second Fourths, stroked by R. S. Davies, were victorious in Division B. A race between one Second Form and two Third Form crews was won by the second Thirds. Following these races the annual crew party was hel d at the boat house, and insignia were awarded. In addition to the members of the first crew, “K’s” were awarded to F. Davis and Vance, seven and stroke on the original second crew, P. Moore and Boles, Chairman and Manager respectively, their successors, Hum¬ phrey and Gilman, and Curtis, launch driver. G. Magruder and Borland of the second crew, and H. Roberts, launch driver, received K’s” with crossed oars. “2nd’s” were awarded to Ashmun, Tyson, Starbuck, S. Potter, and coxswain Hunter as members of the second crew. Ferris, Dale, Westlake, Banning, J. Lee, Abl e, A. Davis, and Frenul, who formed the Fifth Form crew, were given numerals with crossed oars, as were F. Blair and Ruprecht, captain and stroke respectively of the first Fourths, and R. Abbe, launch driver. Although the 1934 crew season was officially ended in home waters, the Hen¬ ley squad, consisting of the first crew and also Hunter, F. Davis, Vance, and Ash¬ mun, continued in training for the defence of the Thames Challenge Cup. After a hearty send-off from the Student Body, the squad sailed on June the eighth on Page one hundred three THE SECOND CREW Left to right: Coach Sill, Vance (Stroke), F. Davis, S. Potter, Starhuclc, Hunter (Coxswain), G. At agr uder, Tyson, Ashman, Borland, Boles ( Manager) the Olympic, accompanied by Coach Sill, Assistant Coach Dennis Cutler, Messrs. Morgan and Donaldson, members of the Kent faculty, who spent the summer abroad as guests of the English-speaking Union, and several students from the School. Conspicuously absent was Baetjer, who deemed it advisable to postpone his departure until after the College Entrance Board Examinations. Two rowing machines placed on deck, setting-up exercises and runs around the deck, and use of the First Class swimming pool, kept the squad in good condi¬ tions and made the voyage pleasant. Landing at Southampton on June the fifteenth, the voyagers were met by a delegation of English friends headed by Sir Andrew Lawson-Tancred of the Class of 1933. After passing through customs, they proceeded immediately to Henley, where headquarters were established at the Armistice. After dinner all interest centered on the new shell presented by Lord Rothermere, which was later chris¬ tened “The Duke of Kent—F. J. H.”, in honor of Frank J. Humphrey, President of the Fathers’ Association, through whose efforts the shell was given to the School. The schedule for the week after arrival was necessarily adapted to taking the College Boards, which were held as formerly in the Henley Town Hall. Strict training and daily practice were kept up, however, throughout this period of mis¬ ery. Captain Baetjer arrived after taking his examinations at Kent, in time to cox the crew for two days before the first race, in which Kent was drawn against the strong Quintin Boat Club. Many critics believed that the outcome of the Regatta would be decided in this race between the defending champions and the favored Quintin shell. The English eight got off to a faster start, and by the half-way mark led Kent by a length of open water, a seemingly insuperable advantage. But here the Americans rallied, and foot by foot closed up the gap, until nearly at the finish the two crews were even, each forging ahead as their oars caught in the water. Kent had given all they had, however, and were unable to match a last furious Page one hundred four THE CLASS OF ' 35 FORM CREW Left to right: Frond (Stroke), . . Daria, Abbe, .1.

Thus Kent failed to retain the cup, but the sting of defeat was taken away by the friendly attitude of the English hosts. The crew remained at Henley for the rest of the Regatta. In the opinion of Coach Sill and others in a position to pass judgment, the trip was a decided success. The good form and sportsmanship of the Kent oarsmen elicited much favorable comment. When the Regatta was concluded, the squad disbanded, after electing Wright captain for 1935. Some came home on the Olympic, and others remained to go on various trips through Europe, but one and all carried away with them pleasant memories of the hospitality and friendship shown them by their English friends.

Jordan, WagnerBaseball p ESPITE MOMENTS when it displayed impressive power and co-ordination, the Kent baseball team of 1934 must go down in history as but partially successful, for out of twelve games played, only six were won, while important contests were dropped to Taft, Hotchkiss, and Choate. Outstanding among the season’s victories were those over Wesleyan Freshmen, Loomis and Westminster. The team finished tied for second place in the Connecticut Preparatory School League. Lack of experience may account for the mediocre record, since R. Jackson and Wood were the only veterans, but prospects for next year look promising with the return of ten lettermen. The battery, with Captain Craig as catcher and Penrose and 1). Dunn pitch¬ ing, did good work throughout the season. Dunn particularly showed steady improvement, indicating that next season, with the benefit of a year’s experience, he will prove a formidable obstacle to opposing batters. Wagner and Borsdorff battled all season for the first base position, neither holding a very decided edge over the other. R. Purnell hit well and covered second in a creditable fashion, forming with Jackson at shortstop a smooth-working combination. C. Jordan at third was notable for an unusually strong throwing arm and for fine spirit dis¬ played in all the games. Jackson, a veteran from last year, led the team in bat¬ ting, and was a brilliant, though occasionally erratic, fielder. In the outfield, which consisted of Wood, Shepard, Bosson, and C. Andrews, Wood was outstand¬ ing for his reliable fielding and steady improvement in batting. Captain Craig deserves much credit for keeping up the morale of the team in the face of disap¬ pointment. Page one hundred nine THE KEHT SCHOOL After dropping a practice game to New Milford High, 10-5, the team inaugurated the season in encouraging fashion by overwhelming Milford, 23-7. Jackson and Penrose led the Kent batters with four hits apiece, among them a home run to deep left field by the former, while Wagner drove a triple with the bases loaded. The nine was equally successful in their second contest, as tight pitching and hitting in the pinches gave them a 5-2 decision over Salisbury. Penrose and Jackson continued their fast pace set in the first game, the former with three hits including a triple, and the latter with another home run. Purnell also starred at bat, collecting a double and a three- bagger for a perfect average for the day. After this auspicious beginning, however, the team ran into a slump, losing the next three contests to strong opponents. The championship Gunnery team administered Kent its first defeat, 1-0, with Anderson allowing the losers but five hits, three of them by Jack- son. Penrose pitched a fine game, but weakened slightly in the second to allow three singles to account for the lone score of the game. Taft, led by Sweeney, who drove a single, a double, and a triple, overcame an early Kent lead with a four run rally in the sixth to eke out an 8-7 decision in an exciting struggle. Captain Craig, Jordan, and Jackson led the losers with two hits apiece. Hotchkiss next defeated Kent, 12-2, working smoothly behind the strong pitching of Hoover, and aided by two home runs with the bases loaded. Jackson continued to lead the Kent batters with a triple and a single. Kent finally broke their losing steak at the expense of the Wesleyan Fresh¬ men, 4-2, in a well played game. A barrage of hits to left field in the eighth inning was sufficient to score four runs and win the game. Penrose pitched fine ball to limit the freshmen to four hits. The following Saturday Kent lost to the Army Plebes, 4-0, despite brilliant hurling by Dunn, who fanned ten batters. Errors by the infield and inability to hit the offerings of Randolph Hines, Kent ’31, ac¬ counted for the defeat of the School team. Better luck attended the efforts of the team on the following week, however, as Canterbury and Loomis were overcome by scores of 17-5 and 6-4. In the former game a total of thirteen errors by the disorganized players from New Mil¬ ford enabled Kent to make the best use of their hits. Wood, who singled twice, once with the bases loaded, and Jackson and Purnell, likewise with two safeties apiece, led the victor’s attack. The game against Loomis was one of the best of the season, being won by a score of 6-4. Penrose allowed the losers four runs in the first six innings, but Dunn, who replaced him in the seventh, granted only one hit in three innings, and Kent maintained its lead. Craig and Jordan, each with two hits, were the outstanding Kent batsmen. J. CONSTABLE Chairman of Baseball Page one hundred ten TEAR BOOK 1935 The next two games were a disappointment, as the team lost to Kent’s old rivals, Choate and Berkshire, by scores of 6-4 and 13-3. Dunn pitched well in both contests, but received poor support from the other players. Jackson starred with three hits against Choate, while Jordan secured two of the team ' s five hits against Berkshire, l’urnell also starred at bat in the Choate game. By a close 5-4 decision over Westminster in the last game of the season, the team was enabled to finish with an even number of games won and lost, and to tie Westminster for second place in the league, which was won by Choate. Out of the four league games played by Kent, two were won and two were lost. Andrews, playing his last game for Kent, was the only player in the game to hit more than once, having two singles to his credit. Wood in left field made several fine catches to keep down the Westminster score, while Penrose deserves credit for holding the opposing batsmen to four hits. At the conclusion of the season a picnic was held for the team at West Moun¬ tain Lake, during which Jordan was elected captain for next year, and Constable and Duer appointed as the new chairman and manager, succeeding Noble and J. Perry. As Jordan unfortunately did not return to School last fall, the captaincy was left vacant. The Second Team, with Berkeley as captain and Mr. Kent Smith, Kent ' 28, as coach, had a successful season, winning four out of six games. South Kent and the Hotchkiss seconds were the contests lost, while victories were gained over the second teams of Taft, Berkshire, and Choate, and over Wooster School. The junior team, captained by Diamond, finished in a tie with Pawling for the Ilousa- tonic League Championship. A.

Page one hundred thir teen THE TENNIS TEAM Left to right. Standing: Curry (Chairman), Reily, Ding man. Levering, Checstman (Manager) Seated: H Dayton, Stanton, Watrous (Captain), Stayer (Captain-elect), WhitmanTennis 1934 A S the 1933 tennis season drew to its close, prospects for the coming year were far from bright. True, there were two lettermen returning from the team which had turned in victories over all its opponents but Choate and the Yale Freshmen, but at the same time four of the best tennis players ever developed at Kent had graduated, and their places had to be filled with inexperienced material from the second team. All things considered, however, the 1934 season was far from the complete debacle some had been inclined to predict. The team triumphed in all but four of its encounters, and lost two of these four by only a single point. Composed of Stanton at one. Stayer at two. Whitman at three, W. Dayton at four. Captain W atrous at five and Reily at six, the team came along fast after its early season loss to the Yale Freshmen, and reached its peak in the Hotchkiss and Williams Freshmen matches, both of which were won by decisive scores. The onlv real weakness which the team showed lay in its lack of more than one reliable doubles team. This department, which in the past has usually been outstanding in Kent squads, was noticeably weak, and it is safe to say that had not this weakness existed, the season’s record would have been considerably improved. Despite their singles records of one and four wins respectively, Stanton and Stayer were unquestionably the strongest members of the team, showing great strength at times as the only real Kent doubles team. Whitman and W. Dayton, however, who immediately followed them on the ranking list, showed to better advantage in the season’s record than either the number one or two man. Day- ton’s record of eight wins stood as the best on the squad, and Reily and Whitman Page one hundred fifteen THE KEHT SCHOOL played reliable tennis at all times, each winning six out of ten matches. Whitman’s well-grounded all- conrt game was at all times worthy of praise and his strokes were nothing if not reliable. Watrous, who was elected captain of the team at the outset of the season, the election having been deferred from the previous year, compiled a record of four wins and six losses. The season began in typically Kent manner on April 5th, as the squad met Mr. Humphreys to begin the work of conditioning the courts. After some days of battle with the elements, the work was finished. Following this a tentative ranking list was drawn up, the first ten standing as follows: Stanton, Stayer, Reily, W. Dayton, Watrous, Heyl, Levering, Whit¬ man, Dingman, and Parke. On April 29th, Kent played its first match, meeting the Yale Freshmen at Kent. Despite the fact that they lost 9-0, they played excellent tennis, and promised well for the future. The next match, against Canterbury on May 2nd, showed Kent to better advantage, as the Blue and Gray netmen won 5-1, starting a winning streak which was to last for five matches. Outstanding in this match, as in all others throughout the season, was Stanton, who more often than not played older and more experienced men. A practice match with the Bridgeport Club came the following Sunday, when Kent again won, facing among others on the Bridgeport team, Fritz Hawley, cap¬ tain and number one man of the Kent team the previous year. Scoring twice in the next week, Kent met Westminster, whom it downed, 7-2, and the Williams Freshmen, whom it also defeated, 6-3. In both matches Stanton, Stayer, and W. Dayton were outstanding, Stanton defeating Weller of Williams, 6-0, 6-1. Stayer and Dayton each won twice. The next week found Kent winning from Hotchkiss, 7-2, at Lakeville, and then losing its first match to a scholastic opponent, when it bowed to Loomis at Kent, 5-4. It was in these two matches that the superb doubles play of Stanton and Stayer and the lack of an¬ other real doubles team made themselves obvious for the first time. The number one team came from behind in both matches to win, while in the Loomis encounter Kent lost after needing but one of the final two doubles matches to win. Next on the schedule was Choate, whom Kent has not been able to defeat for nearly ten years, and to whom Kent lost again, 9-0. In the last two matches, the team managed to do no better than break even, as Roxbury won 5-4, and Taft was defeated 6-2. Again in the Roxbury match, as against Loomis, Kent lost two of the last three doubles matches, despite a brilliant rally by Stanton and Stayer, but more than redeemed itself against Taft, Stayer and W. Dayton being espec¬ ially outstanding. W. STAYER Captain of Tennis Page one hundred sixteen TEAR BOOK 1935 The second team, with Parke as captain and Mr. Donaldson as coach, enjoyed a successful season, win¬ ning nine matches out of ten played, bowing only to the Choate seconds. The year was closed in typical fashion with a party at Hobson’s Lake, at which time W atrous was awarded his “K”, Stanton, Stayer, Whitman, W. Dayton, Reily, Levering, Parke, Ding- man, their “TKT’s”, Heyl and Magruder their num¬ erals, and Hawley, Van Rensselaer, F. Tate, II. Day- ton, Rees, J. Purnell, and Strait their “2nd’s”. Stayer was chosen captain for the coming year. The outcome of the Spring Doubles Tournament was never in doubt as Stanton and Stayer swept through the field without losing a set. In the final match they met Levering and Reily, who had de¬ feated W. Dayton and Magruder, seeded second, in the semi-final round. The Fall Singles in 1934 was played through to the final bracket in one half of the draw, where Stanton was to have played the winner of the semi-final match between Stayer and Thorne. Neither of these matches was played off, since the courts were no longer playable at that time. Stanton’s opponent in the semi-finals was Levering, seeded third, while Hawley, the fourth seed had gone down in the first round before Thorne, a new boy this year. Following the regular season, a team composed of Stayer, W. Dayton, Lever¬ ing, and Watrous was sent to represent the School in the Manursing Island Inter¬ scholastic Tournament, in which much valuable experience was gained. With four lettermen returning, and a young and fairly strong second team returning from which to pick, it is safe to say that the Tennis team in 1935 will by no means It.

Blair (Captain-elect), Bndd (Captain), Thayer, Wince, Starbuek, Strait, Barnum Penrose, Tyson, Wagner, Shepard, Bosson, Banning, . . Tale, WrightFootball L?ACED WITH what was probably the hardest schedule ever attempted by a Kent football team, the 1934 eleven can hardly be termed successful so far as its record is concerned. Hut if a team’s success is measured by its sportsmanship and fighting spirit, then indeed Captain Bndd ' s team must rank among the best. Out of six games played, two were won, but of those lost, only the annual contest with Choate was by a large score. Taft, who completed the season un¬ beaten and untied, was held to 18-0, while Berkshire and Hotchkiss were vic¬ torious by the narrow margin of one touchdown apiece. When the squad assembled for early practice two days before the rest of the school returned, a hopeful sign was the presence of eight lettermen from the year before. Captain Budd, Bosson, F. Blair, and Thayer in the ba?kfield, Vance and Pickard at the ends, and Wagner and It. Jackson in the line were all veterans of the previous season. Barnum, Banning, Wright, Shepard, and A. Derby had also been on the first squad in 1933. Preliminary limbering-up exercises, followed by contact work, signal practice, and finally scrimmage occupied the three weeks before the first contest. That this pre-season drill had accomplished its purpose in conditioning the squad was amply demonstrated on October 9, when football relations with Loomis were resumed with a 6-0 victory after a lapse of thirteen years. The Kent attack, after a brilliant first quarter in which only misplays prevented several Kent scores, lapsed somewhat, and Loomis forced their opponents back almost to their own goal line in the second period. Here the Blue and Gray line held, however, throw¬ ing back the attackers on every play. In the second half, Kent again held the upper hand, and their efforts were rewarded when Blair crossed the goal line in the fourth quarter. The Kent halfbacks, Shepard and Blair, accounted for many long gains, while Jackson at tackle gave promise of the fine playing he was to exhibit all Page out ' hundred twenty-on e THE KEHT SCHOOL I!. BUDD Captain of Football season. Captain Lupien and Cetruello were out¬ standing for the losers. The next Saturday, Kent journeyed to Hotchkiss, to return home that night a sadder and a wiser team, after suffering a 7-0 defeat. The light, fast Hotchkiss line, charging low and hard, consistently drove back the Kent forward wall, opening up holes on the offense, and spoiling the Kent running plays before they had a chance to start. A series of fumbles nullified the Kent attack for the most part, and kept the team in trouble throughout the game. Brilliant goal-line stands pre¬ vented any scoring in the first half, but in the fourth quarter Detchon catapulted across the Kent goal-line from the 6-yard line. In the closing minutes the Kent aerial attack came to life, but the final whistle ended this threat. Blair, playing what turned out to be his last game of the season, gave a fine performance for the losers. Profiting by the lesson learned from their defeat by Hotchkiss, the team was victorious the following week in a thrilling 13-7 contest with Westminster. Although Kent had outplayed their opponents most of the game, and had pushed across a touchdown in the second period, the final score seemed destined to be tied when Westminster’s fleet-footed Lynch caught a pass from Crandell late in the fourth quarter, dashed across the goal line, and place-kicked the extra point to tie the score. But on the second play after the ensuing kickoff Strait drove at left tackle, found a hole, shook himself clear into the secondary, and as tackier after tackier was mowed down by the perfect blocking of the Kent team, raced fifty-six yards to cross the goal-l ine standing up. Kent nearly scored again in the short time which remained, when Barnum intercepted a pass hurled by the desperate Westminster team penned deep in their own territory. Pickard and Jackson were the mainstays of the Blue and Gray line, while Shepard accounted for the first touchdown and Thayer drop-kicked the extra point. Bosson’s run-backs of punts also featured this contest. The team showed a decided let-down the following Saturday, losing to Berkshire, 7-0. Golonka, star halfback for the Green and White, gained most of his team’s yardage through the dispirited Kent players. B STEVENS The Blue and Gray never overcame the handicap of a Chairman of Football Page one hundred twenty-two TEAR BOOK 1935 first period score by Brown, although Budd came close to tallying on a pass in the third quarter. Poor block¬ ing and tack ling were responsible for the defeat. In this game Barnum proved his ability at guard, where the team had been weakened by successive injuries to Constable, P. Wilson, P. M. Wick and Wagner. The week preceding the game Blair was injured in practice, and was unable to play for the rest of the season, the squad thus losing its most versatile back. Sheer power and strength won out in the end as the championship Taft team administered Kent’s next defeat by the score of 18-0. The first touchdown came early in the game when Weston blocked Shep¬ ard’s kick and Taylor recovered the ball and ran for a score. In the second half the exhausted Kent team yielded two more touchdowns. The Taft baekfield trio of Sweeney, Tucker and King proved too much for the losers, who fought stubbornly throughout. Jackson again was the bulwark of the line, while the playing of J. Tate and Barnum at gua rd seemed en¬ couraging for future years. Shepard carried the brunt of Kent’s running attack. As Taft, who had overwhelmed Hotchkiss, 47-0, was favored to beat Kent by an even larger score, the team’s showing was most creditable. Never able to reach the form they had shown against Westminster and Taft, the eleven were downed by their traditional rival, Choate, 85-0, in the final game of the year. The brilliant performance of Captain Gibson inspired the Wallingford team to play the finest game of their season, which they completed unbeaten and untied. Beach scored four times, while Barlow was also outstanding for the vic¬ tors. Even in defeat Captain Budd was a splendid leader, and crashed through the Blue and Gold line for most of his team’s gains. The spectacular feature of H. DI NNING Manager of Football THE FIRST LINE-UP Page one hundred twenty-three THE KEHT SCHOOL the game came when Gibson intercepted a pass and lateralled it to Shea, who raced seventy-five yards before being downed from behind by Budd on the Kent seven-yard line. The contest is best summed up in the words of Coach Nadal: “Choate played superbly. Their line nullified every attempt of Kent to gain by running plays. They forced their breaks, took advantage of them, and capital¬ ized every opportunity to score. “With Choate holding the upper hand from the start, we must admire the courage and drive of ‘Beek ' Budd and his team. They never let up. Their spirit, inspired by the example of ‘Beek’, who played the last football game of his career at Kent, was outstanding throughout the entire game. “In ability we were not up to Choate Saturday, but every one gave all he had during the contest. No one can ask more of a team.” At the conclusion of the season, the annual football banquet was held in the Study, preceded by the awarding of insignia in the Dining Hall. Blair, a letterman of two years’ standing, was elected to lead the 1935 eleven. The Mitchell Trophy “for proficiency and good spirit on the field”, was awarded to Jackson, whose fine playing at tackle had been outstanding all season. B. Stevens and H. Dunning announced Holden and R. White as their successors as chairman and manager, respectively. The second team, coached by Mr. Walker, had a fairly successful season. R. Purnell was elected captain at the beginning of the year, but was later moved to the first squad, and was replaced by Jordan. In their first game the seconds downed the Wooster first team, 6-0, in a see-saw contest. Sauer was outstanding for Kent. Then with McCoun running wild, South Kent won by a score of 21-0. Another defeat followed at the hands of the Lenox first team, whose superior weight and speed enabled them to crush their opponents, 27-0. The season ended in victory, however, when the Romford eleven was met and defeated, 14-6. Although Durrel scored for the losers on the opening kick-off, touchdowns by Gill and Stanton gave Kent the victory. On the whole, the second team, playing entirely against the first teams of other schools, made a fine showing.

PurnellHockey A S the 1934 hockey season drew to a close, and as a championship team became ■L an actuality and not a hope, thoughts turned to 1935, and opinions were voiced that this team would be even better than Captain Cady’s champions. Al Greeley, high scorer in 1934, and two of that year’s powerful second line combina¬ tion would be back. In addition there were F. Blair, Penrose and Ileyl who worked together on the third line. Last but not least was brilliant Goalie Bosson, to whom too much credit could not be given for the team ' s showing in ’34. Now, however, when the 1935 hockey season has breathed its last, the strong¬ est feeling is one of disappointment, for the record of two wins, three ties and three losses fell far short of the hoped-for mark. The defense, which had been looked upon at the beginning of the season as more or less of a problem, remained so throughout. Blair, who was shifted back from his forward position, showed up well, but was forced out in the middle of the season on account of measles. Mc- Clintock, Wright and Pickard, the last of whom was outstanding in the final games of the season, alternated at the other defense and as substitutes for Blair. Goalie Bosson continued his remarkable form of the season previous, showing himself perhaps the most dependable player on the team. But it was the offensive that was disappointing. During the regular season only eleven goals were scored, while the year previous both the first and second lines surpasses this total. In fairness to the team, however, it must be recorded that the sextet was hit hard when aggravation of an injury forced Penrose out of competition. A letterman in ' 34, his presence in the third line would have in all probability added to that line’s scoring power, and given the Blue and Gray three scoring lines instead of the two that it possessed. The third line was often handi- Page one hundred twenty-nine THE KEKT SCHOOL capped by having to play against opponent’s first lines, and was consequently at somewhat of a disadvantage. The second line, which was also called upon from time to time to battle against the opponents’ best, despite this handicap scored five goals, as did the first line. High scorer on the team, counting assists and goals equally, was, appropriately enough, Captain Vance, whose total of four was tied with Coleman, but Whit¬ ing’s three goals were sufficient to give him actual scoring honors. The season opened against Lenox, as Kent jour¬ neyed to the Massachusetts school on Saturday, the twelfth of January, to win 1-0 on Blair’s third period tally. Play was close throughout and it was not until Kent’s converted defenseman scored on a solo dash in the last two minutes of play that any score was made. The next week found Kent losing one and winning one on the home ice, playing their best game of the sea¬ son when the Yale Freshmen beat them Saturday by a score of 2-1. Bosson’s net-tending was especially brilliant in this game, as time and again it was his quick work alone which kept the faster-skating Blue forwards from scoring. Kent’s goal was scored fifteen seconds after the beginning of the third period as A1 Greeley punched home a pass from Budd. Wednesday saw the team winning 2-0 in a purely practice match against South Kent, the regularly scheduled Canterbury game having been cancelled. The first line contributed both tallies in this game, as Greeley registered first on an assist from Vance, and Vance later drove in a pass from Budd. Still unbeaten by scholastic opponents after the third week of competition, Kent at the same time had registered no more wins. Wednesday saw Hotchkiss come to Kent to play under all but impossible condi¬ tions, as a 0-0 tie was all that three periods of shindig in a blinding blizzard could produce. Bosson again played brilliantly, stopping no less than three all-but- certain goals among his twenty-six shots. Play in this game was even, Hotchkiss forcing in the first two periods and Kent holding a definite advantage in the closing session. The Choate game was played Satur¬ day on the Wallingford rink, as Captain Vance soloed in the second period, and Doering, Choate defenseman, scored midway through the third. A ten minute C. LI MB ERG Chairman of Hockey C. VANCE Captain of Hockey I ' age one hundred thirty TEAR BOOK 1935 overtime produced some fast hockey, but the game was still tied at 1-1 as the teams left the ice. The following week, however, saw the team bow to its first scholastic opponent, and win from the Army Plebes. The first game was played in the famous West Point Arena, as Whiting tallied on an assist from Coleman, Budd on a pass from Vance, and Coleman unassisted to bring the total to 3-0. Saturday’s game, played at Watertown, resulted in a 4-2 victory for Taft. This game was bitterly disappointing to the Kent supporters, as the Blue and Gray led until the last fifty-five seconds of play, when the burly Thomp¬ son rammed the puck past Bosson in a mad melee about the Kent cage. In the overtime Taft tallied twice to win. The last two games of the year resulted in still an¬ other tie and another defeat. Berkshire was met first, on the Kent rink. Kent managed to tie the score in the second period at 1-1 on Whiting’s tally, to which Coleman and Dick Purnell both contributed assists, where it remained for the rest of the contest and two overtime sessions. Berkshire he ld the upper hand in the first period, but in the closing part of the game Kent forced play throughout. Budd starred in this encounter. The last game of the season was played in the West Point Arena, where Morristown wrested the Hanger Trophy from Kent with a 3-2 victory. Whiting and Coleman combined for the first tally in the opening period, while Greely scored the tieing goal in 10:25 of the third period. In the overtime, how¬ ever, the Morristown first line worked together to pass Bosson in the Kent net. So stands the season’s record of two wins, three ties and three losses. But while injury, illness, and cancellation of games marred an otherwise enjoyable season, the team’s showing against the stiffest of opposition was extremely creditable. The work of Limberg and Rowe, who provided “ice like glass” for the squad’s use, reflects credit on the managerial department. Prospects for 1936 are bright, as the strong second line returns to play together for its third year as a unit, as well as two defense men. It is, then, with high hopes that we look forward to the coming year, under the leadership of Captain-elect Whiting. S.

Jackson (Captain), Strait, ThornBasketball A T the start of the 1035 basketball season, all signs pointed to a highly success- ful team. Filling one forward post was Bob Jackson, captaining the team for his second year, and the most dependable player on the squad. At the two guard positions were Strait and Reilv, both able performers on the 1034 team. Woodman, a substitute letterman from the previous year, was available for the other forward position, while at center Thorn was expected to complete a powerful quintet. But bad luck and too much basketball combined to disappoint Kent hopes, as the team finished the season with a record of seven wins and four losses. While pre-season practice was still in progress, Woodman was forced to withdraw because of an old injury to his leg. His position, however, was more than capably filled by Jim Stanton, Captain-elect for 11)3(5. Towards the end of the season a schedule crowded with games postponed because of illness started the team on the down grade, and injuries to Strait and Reily completed the debacle. At moments the team looked unbeatable, scoring at will and keeping their opponents always on the defensive, while at other times the attack was powerless. Only once was Kent badly beaten, and even then, against the undefeated Taft quintet, it put up no weak defense. The other three defeats were by the margin of one, two, and four points respectively, one of these in an overtime battle at Berkshire. A brief review of the statistics shows that Kent outscored their opponents by nearly seventy points, counting three hundred and forty-four points to their opponents ' two hundred and seventy-eight. Bob Jackson and Bill Thorn stood above the rest of the team in scoring, with ninety-one and one hundred and thirty- Page one hundred thirty-fire THE KEHT SCHOOL three points respectively. Next was Stanton, with forty-eight, while Ileily was close on his heels with forty-six. Although Strait’s twenty-five points are not impressive in comparison with the other totals, it was often his close guarding and watchful playing that averted an all-but-certain opponents’ score. The team showed that the two pre-season wins which it scored were no flash in the pan when it bowled over Canterbury to the tune of twenty-seven to fourteen in its first regularly scheduled game, and this was followed with a victory of thirty-six to twenty-eight over Pawling. In these games Thorn scored twenty-five points, and in so doing gave a con¬ vincing demonstration of his ability. The next week found the team playing but once, downing Berkshire forty-seven to thirty-four for its third Tri-State League win. This game was the first played in the new Sports Building, which has already proved to be of great use to the school in general and to the basketball team in particular. In the second quarter of the game, Kent showed their real scoring power by registering twenty points wdth amazing rapidity. The next week found Kent scoring another win in the Tri-State League, this time against Gunnery by thirty-four to twenty-six, and losing their first game, an extra-league contest with Taft, by twenty-four to thirty-eight. The power of the Taft five was at all times obvious as they outscored the visiting Kent team in all but the last quarter. The next Saturday, how¬ ever, in their second game with Canterbury Kent found a new lease on life, out-shooting their opponents thirty-seven to seventeen, to register their fifth Tri- State League victory. Three games in four days, however, proved too much for Kent and although they won from Loomis and Choate in extra-league contests, Pawling dowmed the Blue and Gray by a score of twenty-two to tw r enty- fonr, cutting Kent’s League lead to a half game. Only the thirty-three to fifteen w r in from Choate was clear cut, as the Loomis game saw Kent five points behind at the end of the third quarter before they scored twelve points in the last period to win by the narrow margin of thirty-three to twenty-nine. In these three games, Captain Jackson shone, leading the Kent attack. R. JACKSON Captain of Basketball Page one hundred thirty-nix J. PURNELL Manager of Basketball TEAR BOOK 1935 Tired by the terrific pace, and without the services of Strait, the team lost by thirty-five to thirty-three to Berkshire in an overtime period, and with Strait and Reily missing, and playing with a makeshift organization, was downed by Gunnery nineteen to eighteen, a sad end to what at its outset promised to be a fine season. The second team had a disappointing season, losing all of the five games that it played. Wood and M. Jordan were high scorers with fifteen and fourteen points respectively. A group of lower formers was organized in conjunction with upper formers cut from the first squad, and under the direction of Messrs. Smith and Donaldson progressed remarkably and showed promise for the future. THE TEAM Name Position Form Years on Team R. Jackson (( ' apt.)

The form which scores the greatest number of points in this meet wins a place on the cup donated by Jim Humphreys. The Class of ’35, at that time the Fifth Form, emerged victorious last spring by the overwhelming score of 55 points to 25) 2 for the Class of ’34. Victory came largely through the efforts of Shepard and Greeley, who between them scored 35 points. Shepard was high scorer with a total of 20 points, as he won the running high jump, the quarter mile, and running broad jump, and placed in the 100 and 220-yard dashes, Greeley was victorious in the 100 and 200 -yard dashes, while placing in the standing broad jump and the quarter mile. Dunham, ’34, set a new School record for the shot put with a heave of 39 feet 4 inches, bettering Roscoe’s old mark by three inches. The mile run, one of the features of the afternoon, was won by F. Flair, ’36, in 5 minutes and 5 seconds. Tyson contributed to the Fifth Form victory when he won the standing broad jump with a leap of 9 feet 6 inches. Strait, who scored 14 points to place the Second Form in third place, won the pole vault at 9 feet. The success of the 1934 meet, for which the newly instituted system of pre¬ liminary heats on the previous day was in part responsible, cannot but give weight to the arguments of those who wish to see track raised to the status of an organized sport at Kent.

Page one hundred thirty-nine bummer Activities AND Minor Sports T HERE are certain minor sports which do not usually receive the mention they deserve in the pages of the Year Book. These are the summer sport of sailing, touch football and soccer in the fall, and the newly organ¬ ized winter activity, wrestling. The annual participation in the Interscholastic Tennis Tourna¬ ment also deserves special men¬ tion apart from the regular tennis article. For five summers Kent has been represented by a sailing crew in the Interscholastic Yacht Rac¬ ing Association regattas. Twice, under the able captaincy of John H. White ’32, the crews won prizes which now hang in the library; the other times the sailors returned, not with a trophy as material token of their success, but with stories of pleasant experiences in one of the most gentlemanly of sporting activities, one in which there is enjoy¬ ment, win or lose. Last June the Kent crew of Captain Lamar Holt and Eben Hall of the Sixth Form, and Edgar Whiting of the Fourth Form, sailed to fifth place in the finals of the annual regatta held under the auspices of the Beverly Yacht Club, Marion, Massachusetts. The twenty competing schools were divided into two divisions, the leading three in each group to sail in the finals, because there were but ten of the Ilerreshoff fifteen-foot waterline, twenty-five foot over all, gaff-rigged, center- board and keel knockabouts provided by the Yacht Club. A first, a second, and a sixth in the preliminary races placed Captain Holt’s crew in the finals. Grand work on the spinnaker by Whiting, and general efficiency and smoothness helped to bring the Kent boat in second for the first race of the deciding series, sailing in a fresh southwester. The results of the last two races, a sixth and an eighth, were discouraging, giving the Kent Boat an eleven point fifth place ranking, Belmont Hill School taking first place with 2334. For the second successive year the Kent Tennis Team represented the School in the Interscholastic Invitation Tournament at Rye, New York. As a whole the team, consisting of Captain-elect Stayer, W. Dayton, Levering, Captain Watrous, IJ. Dayton, and Hawley, did not come out well in the final standing, but as indi¬ viduals the players did exceedingly well considering their opponents. All except two of the players were put out in the first round. Stayer and W. Dayton drawing byes. Stayer’s victory over Duggan of St. Paul’s was the only one for the Blue and Gray netmen, as all three of the doubles matches were lost in the first round play. Page one hundred forty Every autumn term there is an interim between the end of football season and the coming of ice, which is usually marked by the lack of suitable athletic diversion. This year, however, a group of ambitious Fifth and Sixth Formers organized a real Touch football team, challenged South Kent to a game, and won 3-1, on the junior field. Hardly a week later a soccer team which had been prac¬ ticing zealously went to Pigtail valley and defeated the Red and Black hooters, 8 to 1. R. Purnell ' s thirty-yard kick to score was one of the outstanding plays of the game, but R. Jackson’s led the point-makers with four markers, closely fol¬ lowed by Purnell’s three and Coleman’s one. Those two games will probably prove to be the first of an annual series and perhaps foreshadow the permanent establishment of touch and soccer as post-season athletics. With the return of Robert Colmore ’27, one-time member of the Princeton wrestling team, to the school as an instructor in the modern language department, the sport of wrestling had a renaissance at Kent this past winter, after several years’ dormancy. A large mat was procured and installed in the basement of the Sports Building. There every afternoon Coach Colmore put his charges through their paces, teaching them holds and breaks, the rudiments and a few of the intri¬ cacies of the ancient Greek sport. No outside contests were scheduled in the first year, it being felt that the squad was too inexperienced to attempt them, but the season was brought to an end with an intra-mural tournament over Washington’s Birthday week-end. There were five classes in all, the heaviest of those being the light heavy¬ weights. Two Fifth Formers, W. Dunn and Moore, fought for the championship in this class, the former winning. The consolation round between the losers of the first day’s matches went to A. Davis of the Fifth Form over Garstin of the Fourth. The middleweight title went to Newell, as he felled Ferris in the quick time of twenty-nine seconds. The best wrestler on the squad was undoubtedly A. Staley of the Sixth Form, who won the lightweight crown from Terry of the Fifth. The consolation match went to Sauer over R. Derby after two and a half minutes. Bantamweight laurels were won by Cranmer on a referee’s decision against J. Miller of the Sixth Form. Ridgely’s five and a half minute advantage over Duer gave him the champion¬ ship in the featherweight division. A scant 1:20 time advantage was enough to win the consolation for Nichols of the Third Form over Nimick, a fifth Former. The tournament brought to its close a season in which remarkable interest was shown in a sport new to the majority of the Student Body.
