However, lest this ap- parent oversight should reflect too gravely upon the editor of the Times, it might be well to add here that even John lVIeade, editor-in-chief of the Kent News, apparently unaware of the deep impression which the class of 1939 was to leave in the annals of Kent history, coldly heralded our entrance by a brutally im- personal column of forty-five names, arranged in alphabetical order. NED But, looking back, it would DAVE 'BUILDI Bois MAXIE Page xi.1'ly-niurf BERGY l'1'1ona Il BRAD Page ,vvrrllly THE KENT SCHOOL almost seem that we ourselves were unaware of our own superiority. VVe certainly gave little promise of being anything exceptional during those first few weeks. W'e started as every form had started before us. lVIeeting our sponsors, we respected them as thoroughly eligible bachelors: we had the usual struggles with our stiff col- lars and classroom schedules: we thought Cap Harring- ton was very funny: and we met Pater in the Study, the first night, following the custom of twenty-five other Second Forms. We learned much during that first form meeting, and as we heard ourselves greeted by the Head- master himself as' a form with big possibilities, a form long-awaited, we felt properly superior. It wasn't long, however, before we established ou1'selves as a fo1'n1 of distinction. Bart Sherman, of our ranks, took his much-discussed fall or jump from East Porch. and emerged with a splendidly broken Ztrlll. Obviously ,it wasn't every form that produced an invalid during its first two weeks of School. Simultaneous with the death- defying publicity stunt, we held our first election. Cyrus Vance, the Senior Prefect, impressed us beforehand with the importance of our decision. and we showed our appreciation of the crisis by BUD raising Cy Quinn to our presi- dent's chair. Following this event, which has since come to be a habit with us. we settled down to some hard work in the old Second-Form room. now demolished. Before a month had gone by, we were well used to the routine' of our classes and could almost follow our schedules on certain bright mornings. Perhaps the big scholastic event of that first term came when Mr. Baker, at Bronx Park's request, read us ACE 'YEAR BOOK 1939 Casey at the Bat,', which we were trying to memorize at the time. His tears as he finished the tragic epic, shocked us into the realization that poetry was something more than drudgery for some, and we set our sails with new awe and energy. But other things beside study periods absorbed us that first term. Football burst forth during the first week and the Class of '39 proudly placed its most terrifying guer- rilla, Bebe Lyon, on the Junior Squad, while the bulk of its talent signed up for the Midgets. But there was also the first team, under Beek Budd, to claim our attention. We followed this group with some- thing near adoration and shouted Yeah Beek whenever we thought he was out of hearing distance. The thrill of that first season was height- ened for us considerably when we learned that brats were required to know the number of seconds until the Choate Game, about a week beforehand. Somehow, however, we managed to weather the shouts of disapproval sent up by the School after each of our remarkably inaccurate guesses, and the big day finally rolled around. The Second-Form room was, at all times, hard to control, but JIM during the two periods which were held the morning of the Choate game, it was next to im- possible to keep order. Shortly after the second period began, a group, who shall go nameless, led by a pair of earnest young rabble rousers, whom we shall call Willy Schmidt and Louie Has- brouck, left the study hall on hands and knees. Ted Trus- low, who was in charge that period, was faced, just before the bell, by a perfectly empty study hall, a rather discouraging DERGIE sight for one who fancied himself LEW EARNIE Rowun Page .wfrcnfy-om l l.uNKs FHAN'I'llI'I'Il FA v rx u ugr' Nl'I'l'll,lIl-IIIVJ 'T HE KENT SCHOOL something of a discipliuarian. Rumor hath it that he too crawled out on his hands and knees, all by himself. The game itself was considered anything but a success. However, for us, free for a fling in the great world, all was radiant. A trip to Choate or Taft in those merry days was a trip to fhoate or Taft, and no more. We reached VVaterbury on the return trip with all the gusto of a con- quering team and gorged ourselves to the full extent of our tremendous half-dollar allowances, before the busses finally warmed up their motors, and started back for Kent. After Choate, with a little more than a month to go before vacation. all was anti-climax. Shortly before the middle of November, however, our first form picture appeared in the mail room and broke the monotony. In the foreground a pair of viciously white shoes and a rather startled squint, both possessions of Jack Lozier, were not to be overlooked. Only the shoes have disappeared with time. The rest of us were in the picture too. but there was no disputing the fact that Long John stole the show. The term slowly grated to a a close. Restlessness appeared, and finally took shape in a multi- tude of shoes illld books relent- FITZ lessly flung down the hall at Louie Hasbrouck by Bill Mor- risey. Time faltered. Term i' examinations reared their ugly heads: a few were prepared but. for the rest of us, the nervous pitch tightened. Pied beds were quite to be expected. Time dragged by. farols in chapel and lights on the Clhristmas tree! lt was too much! VVet towels. and snowballs after lights were all that could express our feel- ings on the situation. And then M- all at once. it came-the vaca- tion we had awaited so long. Izzy TEAR BOOK 1939 Before we realized it, however, we were back at Kent listening to more carols, which now seemed depressing, and. to tales of New York after Six, told by Franthith Farr, which made uth wonder where we had been all vacation. Settling down to work immediately, we elected Frank Stevens presidentAa victory for the Schmidt organization, and secure with a president and the knowledge that 19,754 seconds ago we were home, We sat back to wait. VVinter came stomping in, lion-like, before we were ready. No-visiting laws appeared and we ignored them. The undeniable presence of Winter was acknowledged, however, when Requardt and a few fellow creatures of whalebone and iron founded the Polar Bear Club. whose privileges were a daily bath of ice water and the awed appro- bation of the rest of us. The strain of the winter term finally became even more acute, in the face of the rapidly ap- proaching vacation, this time unheralded by the term exams of the previous fall. Hasbrouck and Mcmrrisey, now too old for heaving books, diligently de- voted those last few afternoons to the more mature occupation of carrying coal from the North Tuss Building to the Main Building, working on the average of ten minutes to the hour. And then abruptly all detention ceased. We applied ourselves to cleaning our rooms for the End of Term. A few long minutes of excite- ment, an awesome meeting in chapel, a chance for a quick breath, and then we were off once again for Parts Unknown. The spring vacation took no longer in burning to ashes than did the one at Christmas, and in ' a very few hours, indeed, we had LOUIS returned, Wllitney leaving the ,u ,v , -'i,, ' if-. ,, J Uivuso FRED HOLTIE Page .s'1'r'1'nIy-Illrfc I 1 C I I vi-' M.

Truslow was the Choice of the Common People in our last. election of the year, and guided our miniature ship of state on a remarkably calm course. The spring term is always one, colloquially speaking, of frittering, and we frittered in the best of style. VVe accomplished nothing during those two balmy months. We stood by anliably while the Class of 1936 took over the reins of the School, watched crew races with enthusiasm that comes of Cross- ing the Bridge, struggled up to the Service on the Rock, fought our way through a snare of year-end exams, listened to the first manifestations of Fales's poetic genius in that worthy's rendition of an original ode delivered at a party held in the Second-Form room two nights before Prize Day, studied Connnencement Exercises impartially, did our best to commit murder most foul upon our roommates the last night, and then, with surprising calm, we went forth, on our vacations, leaving behind three forms with College Boards to face. No one is to be found who can account for the month of June in that first summer vacation. July is remembered simply as the BERWICK month when we put ofl' our out- side reading until August. Aug- ust was, of course, a month of blissful procrastination and we swore to ourselves that we should read two extra books in September, just to show our hearts were in the right place. But we didn't! The eighteenth of September, like the Ides of Marc-li, finally came, and with it our departure for Kent, books unread. We set off more happily than we had hoped, having suddenly discov- l.oNo JOHN TEAR BOOK 1939 ered a new sense of superiority, which is a Third-Form blight. The charter members were amazed and amused at the presence of a bewildered crowd of new members in the class of 1939. For a time these novices moved by themselves, but gradually their girdles were knotted and they were absorbed, hook, line and sinker. It was a very short time indeed before even the lowliest of the new members was impressing the Second Form Cthey were so funny, poor thingsll, with the caste system practiced at Kent. Before a month had gone by, the eyes of our form were forcibly directed towards a rather radical equivalent of Delancey Streetis Gashouse Gang, adectionately dubbed the Field-House Dorm, whence came tales of brutality, for the most part enacted upon Ted Sterling, who was the only bold being outside of The Dorm with enough courage to enforce his right to walk through the sanctum without begging per- mission. An attempt put forth one Wednesday night by the rest of the Form to hush up the fellows down there resulted in a rather inglorious disproval of R i c e Crispie's assertionf Straight Shooters always win. The Dorm, in its hour of victory BEBE became even more insubordinate and tales of nightly orgies where- in Sterling held forth against seven demons at a time were get- ting to be something of a bore to the rest of us, who diligently pretended not to hear. The football season that year was highly successful. Towards its close news was spread about that the Second Form would soon be required to know the minutes to the Choate game, and we settled back confidently su- perior in the knowledge that we ATOM were above such childishness. MONEY BAGS BILL DAISY BELLE Page .vevmlfyilirw En l'll'lRKll'I Goosl-1 lugr' .wwcllly-.w'J7 THE KENT SCHOOL The Choate game itself finally started, and we hung on the stands, this time at Kent, breathlessly watching the battle between the two undefeated teams. The first half was almost uneventful. At the start of the second, how- ever, the Choate team appeared in blazing orange jerseys, in which. we soon heard, they had never tasted defeat. Too bad! But even in the face of this competition, the game dragged on without too much threatening from either side, and then, in the last few minutes, a pass .... Strait to Reily---Touchdown2 A quick kick and the score stood Kent 7ffChoate 0. The rest of the game ambled off pointlessly and with the closing whistle, we set off with the Second Form, with wl1on1 we.were now quite reconciled, to gather wood for a victory bonfire, wondering all the time what Choate proposed to do with their jerseys. lt might be well to add i ' 'i i here that at this bonfire party, Bill Schmidt, as captain of an alarmingly ruthless midget team, distinguished himself as being the first of our ranks to have his words taken down and duly re- corded in the News, where they may still be read by aspiring midget captains of years to come. lt would seem on first reflec- tion that the second Winter in BABE our Kent careers was spent solely in singing The MllSl1' Goes 'Round and 'liound , playing N Nlonopoly, and reading -And X Sudden Death aloud with a good deal of enjoyment. Uther things happened, though: King George V died, and Bradford murmured Long Live the King as every good Englishman should do. Rudyard Kipling died the same week, and Brad- 1 ford completely ignored his death, as every good Euglislnuan would do, of course. BILL TEAR BOOK 1939 And the River froze over that year, with an unbroken surface that gave us three extra rinks and several after- noons of concentrated shoveling. All in all, though, even in spite of these added pleasures of winter, there can be no denying that it was a long, hard term, and the myth is still to be heard that several of the newer members of our form were lost in the huge snow drifts which formed everywhere. Most of them have since been located, how- ever, some of them in the queerest places. The winter term ended with the advent of twin dis- aster. Nordic measles laid its speckled grip upon some of the most manly of our shoulders and while we were attempting to combat this insidious back-knifer, there slipped into the Reception Room of the Matin Building, A with apparently no idea of leav- ing, a white nondescript Cfor the sake of decencyj, dog-like crea- ture with a second-tenor bark and the ironically bewitching name of Lydia. During that spring vacation the whole Eastern seaboard was swamped under one of the heav- iest floods in recent years, and at our return we saw everywhere the eHect of high waters and silt. Perhaps the only one who really appreciated all this was FAT JACK Courtney Stone, who forthwith organized a splendid one-man Return to Nature movement and was to be seen every day squish- ing about happily in hip boots, trapping beavers and Lydia. As usual in the Spring term, little happened. One of the highlights of the year, however, was the nomination of certain of our members for the council. The Field-House Dorm, some- what subdued for the past month, strutted forth with new vigor when the name of Bill Pinney, JocK one of the less objectionable of JAKE l CHUCK WRECK Page screnly-seven GUON Romair: SALLY Page .w'1'z'nly-rfylll TH E KENT SCHOOL its members, was included in the six on the first ballot. After Quinn, Truslow and Requardt just squeezed in ahead of him, the Dorm took their Pinney back, proudly and willingly, and spat contemptuously, if not pedanti- cally, at the others: Not failure, but low aim is crimef' After this event, we settled back to a thoroughly com- monplace month, crammed for exams desperately, fixed up our rooms, crossed our fingers, packed our bags and left. laughing good-naturedly at the eagerness shown by the Second Form to be gone. Watching for news of Charley Ashmun's Henley Crew, calling on girls in Greenwich and San Francisco and col- lecting a bevy of knock-knock-who's-there-? stories helped us to while away the sum- mer days without casualty until September, the Inevitable, came around once more, when we set forth for Kent, confident in the knowledge that we were Fourth Formers, and, obviously, fully matured men. Leaning pensively over the foundations of the new Audi- torium after our return, asking each other what kind of summer We had and trying to decide who was the taller-Myrna Loy or Hitler-we became so absorbed WILL that even those two unforget- table delinquents, D. Evans Gregory and Sally Salisbury slipped into our otherwise peace- ful midst without exciting too much notice. From the latter we soon picked up the accom- plishment of shouting Set ,em up in the other alley whenever some one dropped a glass in the Dining Hall, and from the former-! Almost before our trunks were completely unpacked, Evans, Farr and Reed started out busily BIG BART TEAR BOOK 1939 on their classic September hawking campaign with closets full of almost new coats and slacks, and libraries full of almost new books to vend to unsuspecting lower formers. Their salesmanship was interrupted, however, by the sudden appearance of an issue that threatened to split the form wide open-a governor from Kansas Qit was Kansas, wasn't it?j, levelled his spear against the Roose- veltian windmill and bitterness started to spread. From various rooms after lights the sound of raised voices was soon far from infrequent . . . You and your old VV.P.A. and VVhat about lllrs. Roosevelt, then? I suppose ymfre going to say she doesn,t dye her hair, either. Oh, no! Nothing like thatf, And at intervals the battle was 111ore than verbal. Tales are still being told of the at- tempts put forth by Didge Stone. who is, unfortunately, one of our less athletic members, to make the second floor of the North Building safe for democ- racy, and of one bold night wherein he carried his point against a dozen staunch Repub- licans. Fullback Reily was the only other Democrat in the struggle. No sooner had this problem been settled, to Stone's and Far- ley's satisfaction, than the ques- SNUFFY t.ion of Abdication arose. But, after the strain of domestic poli- tics, even the fact that Wally Warfieldls cousin was at stake failed to interest us to any great extent, and consequently all but the most royalish of our ranks journeyed forth on pleasantly Benny-Goodmanized vacations, thoroughly agreed that if Ed- ward VIH wanted Mrs. Simpson and vice versa, then by all means let them get married and be happy, or vice versa. VVe were getting a little tired of having BUBBL1-as Parliament pass staid English ALEC COURT DIDGE Page sc'1'1'r1ly-rzirw THE KENT SCHOOL judgment on what was obviously the captivating flower of American womauhood. Shortly after the start of our third winter term at Kent, measles appeared, good old American stock this time, necessitating compulsory morning clinics every day and the evacuation of the Dining Hall wing for use as a ward. The un- tainted few took blithely to skiis for the first few days. and then suddenly put them away in a vain attempt to be prepared for the mid-year exams that were to be given that year. The mid-years came, unabashed, for the first and last time, however, and were popularly considered a mean trick and a failure. The immediate prospect of the spring vacation abruptly put an end to sick- ness and hard feeling. and with a shout of rejoicing we were off. returning soon with the habit of prefacing every sentence we uttered with the amazingly humor- ous I7on't look now. but- . Aside from this symptom. however. we were in the best of health. At some point during that spring term, Berwick Lanier's slow, pondering rm VFILLY TED Page cfyllfy game of bridge appeared beneath the bright lights of the study. Even to those of us who didn't play bridge at the time, there was somehow always something inspiring and breath-taking in watching Berwick contemplate and cogitate for two or three long minutes over his hand and then blithely proceed to trump whatever aces his partner ehanced to hold. Shortly before May first we dutifully reelected Cy Quinn, our perennial president, Ted Trus- low and Freddy ltequardt to the Couneil, and watched. with an eye for detail, the class just ahead of us bound into power. Exams and Prize Day followed in hectic order and then, feeling painfully superior those of our ranks with averages in the higher brackets started home for the summer vacation, leaving the rest of us in School for another two weeks, to face College Boards. Popular opinion would seem to be that the festivity of Miss Julier's wedding, which GUs DUSEY 'YEAR BOOK 1939 took place in and about the School chapel following the exodus of our intelligent- sia, more than amply made up for the precious hours which Board Week had hacked from the vacations of the rest of us. After this event, however, and a few inconsequential exams Cwe'd rather not speak of them herej, those neglected in the first mad rush of women and children, set forth for home, the last to leave the sinking vessel. When we finally arrived at Kent for Fifth-Form year, having picked up Holt and a guitar case at Stamford, we had little or no trouble in spotting the four novelties that had washed into our ranks with the tide: Bingo Behr, an authority on the New York debutante situation, Fat Jack Platt, an authority on the beau- ties of the Basso Profundo and approved shower-room techniqueg Tommy Wells, an authority on the Farmington girl as a New England type, and lastly, and, in stature, leastly, Atom Marsh, the inimitable Atom, an authority on anything that depended upon seven-place logarithm tables for accurate expression. With these new names added to our lists and with the new auditorium open for its Hrst year of real service, we calmly began our Fifth-Form year, a year during which the Study was to become an im- portant part of our lives, where Pater discussed seriously with us the problems of managing the School, which were soon to be '52 ours, and laughed and talked informally with us over a hand of bridge on our Wednesday nights. WAI-LY After a rather unfortunate TERANG1 football season, under Leon Losee, a temperate little winter set in spitefully, totally lacking in ice and snow, and there was wail- ing and gnashing of teeth, dra- matically rendered by the hockey squad. In disgust the form turned reluctantly from the usual past-times of winter to three improvisions. Swing music was slowly getting to be under- stood by the elite, and jitterbugs Morrisey and Farr went politely , out of this worldv with a few - Hrro select friends, to the Bebeis inces- WH11- , l l L Page eighty-one 'TH E KENT SCHOOL sant chant, Oh, send l1lC 'I,ll1 f'loatin'! The rest of us, to whom swing and its jargon secmedf-well--seemed silly, divided our time between games of stopper golf in Vtfashroom A in the Dining Hall Ca working knowledge of trigonometry was necessary to sink the drinking-fountain shot, from underneath the first basini, and investigating a pile of real French magazines in the possession of our beretted Vharlcy Morton, which turned out to be nothing more salacious than three worn copies of L '1,ll11str11f1'o11. with silly advertisements all written in French. But this Class Ilistory could hardly be complete without some mention of certain class-room phenomena that came to light about this time. The classic Ned Andi-rson's fiendish vocabulary in Latin, which included in its vast scope such unheard-of freaks as a short copper-weighted javelin used during early Roman Fonquest against the Nerviin was more than amply counter-balanced by rumor of f'y Quinn's firm assertion that Gray's Elegy was the best poem Tennyson evcr wrolc. But, quietly, without arousing too much comment, the term which is considered by many to be the most im- portant in a form's history, the spring of Fifth-Form year, X came upon us. VVe ambled casually through the first two weeks without veering too radically from our courses. Everything went along just about as usual-Lozier was pursuing an embarrassingly senile mouse all around his room: Noble and Awtrey were fighting violently in the hall: Horton was rushing last-minute plans for a tennis- ball rejuvenatorg Reed was saying he didn't want an inspection, even if he did get one: Jacky Rawls was allow- ing his young man's fancy to take its usual spring flight, via a loud, and often vaguely inaccurate trumpet, and Fayerweather was chasing about madly in short pants, SAM looking for games of touch. But suddenly all tlns changed at once-Joke Week started in 1 assembly. By this time, how- ever. there was so little ground for ridicule in our ranks and the attempts at jokes were conse- quently so feeble, that space hardly permits a discussion of the interval here. Suffice it to say that Joke Week finally did draw to a close, more to the relief of the Class of '38 than ourselves i and one sunny morning we seized our buckets manfully and MONK set out to paint Numeral Rock. YOKE Page 1'1'glrly-lzm 'YEAR BOOK 1939 The blue and gold paint which bobbled about in those buckets on the way up the hill was as much of a surprise to most of us as it was intended to be for the rest of the School. But in the feverish excitement of opening the paint cans, lowering the log down the face of the rock and removing our shirts for action, we forgot everything else, and the dramatic, awful moment when Jonesey Quinn touched the first brush to the old colors was dutifully recorded from all angles on a dozen rolls of film. The morning slowly passed away, and by noon the job was finished. Follow- ing tradition, we used up the left-over paint in placing our initials and self- confident 39,s in every available corner QPierce and Robinson utilized the back of a rather patient turtle they knewj, portioned off the rope that had held the log in place, scrambled for the brushes, and through it all pretended we werenit inten- tionally trying to get gold paint in our hair. We sat around for a while afterwards and burned in the sun, and then put our shirts on and headed down the hill, The afternoon dragged slowly to its end, and then, after supper, we met in the auditorium to see whom Pater had chosen to be our prefects. Of course Quinn was elected Senior Prefect. Truslow, Requardt and dark-horse Rawls followed in swift succession. The fifth position, which the form votes upon, was awarded almost unanimously CHe still insists he voted for some one elseb, to the Field- House Dormis Bill Pinney, the selection standing as mute evidence to our level- headedness in times of crisis. Following this election, inspections were announcedg Dave Andrews and W. Lamb Johnson were rewarded for their valiant services in chapel, and Rebhann assumed a screw driver, a drawerful of light bulbs and the rather impressive title of School Electricianf' During the next Week Flunx Fales took over the presidency of the twenty- fifth News Board, and was not alone in thinking it the best in history. Truslowis fiery, righteously indignant editorials, which appeared in the early issues of our News, unfortunately came to a halt after his election to the chairmanship of the Year Book Board. But Moulton Johnson's masterful School Notes and Money- Bags Mitchell's stupendous typing helped to sustain the excellence of the sheet, even after Benny's withdrawal. However, the success of our paper was almost entirely due to the ceaseless vibrations of its Falesian Dynamo. The News stands out almost alone in our class as an organization in which there was indis- putably no second-in-command. But even the excitement of coming into power finally wore off. There was a short breathing spell, and then, after the annual Service on the Rock, we came down the hill and took our seats in the Dining Hall at the head of the tables. Our revolution was now complete. We hovered about for a few short days, sang, with a catch in our voice, There,s a River through a Valley to the class imme- diately ahead of us, and then, with one eye cocked optimistically for jobs and the other for reports of Evan Thomasis victorious, Tabor-defeating Henley Crew, we set forth for our last summer vacation from Kent. The days passed, and the first of September came around. We found with mixed feelings of alarm and disgust that we were counting the hours impatiently Page eighty-three 'THE KENT SCHOOL before School. The majority of us were only too glad to arrive back at School three or four days before the rest of the Student Body, a Sixth-Form custom, and stood about contentedly, eating green apples and laughing at Hasbrouck, who had grayed appreciably under the strain of introducing brother Beevo into proper Kent circles. We were also fascinated by our transplanted English oak, Stuffy Smith, who fumed about for over two months after his' arrival, getting information on the Yale-Harvard football classic, Ca classic is a book, in Englandj, which the Sixth Form planned to witness, asking every one he met, in idiomatically lousy English, I say, what time would the match begin, can you tell me?,' It is only now, after six months of American treatment, that his delightful supply of by-Jove stories has begun to run down and he is slowly getting to say Include me out without feeling too silly. Hours spent in the Study formed an even more important part of our lives in the Sixth Form than they had done the previous year. Here we met Pater and Pop Flagg as true friends, who were sincerely interested in us and in what we planned to do. Here also, while Murray, Stevens, Clapp and Crawford confis- cated the radio, the rest of us sat about, talking to Hawley and sipping tea that varied in strength from diluted hot water to deep red-yellow slugs of tannic acid that had to be bolted down without pausing, like a handful of small brass tacks. And Miss Sill's Sunday teas, a polite ritual carried out under the flicker of candle- light, was just one more pleasure that drew us nearer to the Study, the center of the School. But, in spite of these and the additional novelties of getting to bed at ten and sitting piously in Sixth-Form stalls in Chapel, we found life in the Sixth Form calmly similar to life in every other form. Most of us continued to do the same things that we had been doing in previous years:-Peter Wick, with mouth drawn down at the corners, and Hicks, with finger continually raised, kept up their act- ing, both on and off the stageg everybody continued to use Waterbury's electric razor without asking himg Bergamini still charged about in the Dining Hall, as he had done the year before, carrying out his duties as headwaiter with sadistic pleas- ure: FitzGerald continued to struggle with The Brothers Karamazov, starting over again spasmodically, just to get the story clear, Dibble's inspection notices, de- liciously incoherent little gems of sound and fury, continued to appear in job assembly: Bowman, the unsquelchable Tiger, played his fiddle while the rest of us burned, Van Cortlandt was still ready for everything five minutes before the rest of usg Van Deusen kept on being late, Whitaker still insisted on setting off flash bulbs whenever we were least expecting itg de Ganahl, White and Peters daunt- lessly continued in their electrical experiments, to the displeasure of all who tried to enter their roomsg and the whole form, excepting a small insigniicant minority, relentlessly kept up its fight to cut off the Baltimore Club at the roots. And classes also kept up, much to our disgust-it did seem we could have been spared that at least. However, the amazing masterpiece, the Deacon, who reassured us not infrequently that it was tough- Oh, yes! Tough for us dear Page eighty-four TEAR BOOK 1939 boys and the lovable, terrible Cliff Loomis who pepped up our interest in the arts through cultivation of the unfeeling cells of our brain, rather than the aesthetic little valves which were reputed to exist somewhere in our souls, bumped our noses against the swinging doors of cultural learning, helped us, after four years of al- most fruitless pursuit of higher education, to corner it successfully just before the end of the winter term. . The football season also began again as usual, but this time it was our team, under our own Bebe Lyon, and we felt new pride in it, and in Bebe. Perhaps the season was not so good as some we have gone through, but the fight shown by the team, Wells' brilliant running, Rhodes' grim determination, and Bebe's uncom- promising vows- We'll kill 'em next week. Just you watch-kill 'em. -made it one we may well be proud of. , , And then, after the Choate game we played cross-country touch against Noble for a few days. But suddenly the prospect of Examinations appeared once more and we crept away to our books in silence. Among the most persistent group of studiers in the form, the Common-Room Club, consisting of Louie Hasbrouck, Didge Stone, Itch Gregory, Jack Rawls, Cy Quinn and Draught- Clerk Earnest Cwho opened and closed the windowsl, meeting each night in the Sixth-Form Library, redoubled their efforts frantically. The consequent out- watehing of the Bear undergone by this group in the wee small hours almost finished them-all except Quinn, the Capitalist, who calmly packed his bags and left for the shores of Bermuda with Ted Evans, just in the thick of things. Trus- low made an impressive Senior Prefect during the remainder of the term Cdid we mention that he was Chairman of the Year Book Board?J, and Tuss Hand, filling in the fifth position on the platform, at Pateris request, made us wonder if there wasn't room for another chair behind the prefect's desk-perhaps some system of first and second-string prefects could have been worked out. Christmas vacation followed exams?-in the normal order of things, and in three weeks' time we were back again at School. The gloomy thought that, for most of us, only one-tenth of our time at Kent was left, kept rising impertinently during the first few days, and for consolation we turned towards StuHy Smith, who was lucky enough to have one-half of his Kent life still before him. However, the hockey team, under Hal Tilghman, reported by the Herald Tribune to be the best since Ding Palmer , soon presented itself to our attention and we watched it with interest that was not dimmed even after its unfortunate defeat at Walling- ford. Two other teams shared the lime light with this hard-fighting, plucky organization: the basketball team, under Captain Benny Truslow fdid we men- tion that he was-oh, yeslj, and the Wrestling Squad under that undefeated and undefeatable strangler, Larry Noble. Long, morale-boosting shots by Captain Truslow, and short, morale-boosting bouts by Captain Noble, drew pandemonious cheering and early predictions of undefeated seasons from the crowd. But somehow the winter term dealt to us from the bottom of the pack, and we found ourselves before long with our hockey and basketball teams batting around .500 and our Wrestling Squad with two defeats and three victories. Nevertheless Page eighty-five THE KENT SCHOOL we were convinced that all three groups had done their best, and admired their scrap and endurance more than many a team we had seen with better records. The reticent Fred Hicks, industriously taking down games for the News, was perhaps the only organization to enjoy an undefeated winter term. After the winter sports expired, there was a brief pause of inaction and then, on Ash Wednesday, all the fellows who had been living in the Study Hall and North Building Cde Mortuis!D, moved to improvised rooms about the School. By Thursday morning the two buildings, once considered by Pater to be the ulti- mate in School architecture, were completely empty, and on the following Mon- day a stalwart, unsentimental wrecking crew arrived and started work. It is a generally admitted fact now that tearing down the building wasithe only con- ceivable way that the amazingly dusty little spot in the Study Hall that Goonah- Goonah Rhodes, Tommy Wells and H. Connett referred to affectionately as home could ever have been properly cleaned. i And now as this, the last building in the Permanent Kent starts to take shape, our history must come to its close, with our last all-important term, its studies, athletic season and its Service on the Rock still ahead of us, the Year Book must go to print. In a very few hours, indeed, we shall be crossing the Bridge as alumni into what baccalaureates have tritely hailed for generations as the hard, cold world beyond. But we will go forth into that hard, cold world, fortified with a pleasant and valuable supply of warm experiences. Perhaps a long time from now, we shall remember some of the things that have been mentioned in this history. It is thoroughly probable, moreover, that when we think back over these events, Time will call to mind an entirely different aspect from that sketched above. We may think sometimes, for instance, of the tension, of the near- drama of that Morning on the Rock, rather than of its jollityg we may recall more often the feelings we had for Father Gorham and Pop Voorhees, instead of viewing the whole period as a series of good times. But all of us, without ex- ception, will probably recall some of the hours we spent with our friends on the faculty, in the class rooms, on the athletic fields and in their homes. We will recall the pleasures and disappointments we have felt here, the harmony and discord of extra-curricular life, and most important of all, we will remember the influence and friendship of Pater, who will stand out in our lives as the em- bodiment of all that Kent means to us. These and dozens of other details too' numerous to mention will doubtless keep on returning to us to make up some of the happiest, most agreeably secure memories in our lives. . To end this history is far from an easy task. To say good-bye is somehow too final, too abrupt, to say auf Wiedersehen is too hackneyed and maudlin for the occasion. And so perhaps the best and easiest solution is simply to say what seems so obvious: V ' The History of the Class of 1939 is not ended. Page eighty-sir 'YEAR BOOK 1939 There's a river through a valley, And near by that river side, There,s a place we'll all remember, When we're scattered far and wide, We'll recall it with ajection, We,ll recall it, too, with pride.

The peal was east in the VVhiteehape-l foundry of lNless'rs lN'Iears and Stainbank, London, England. This year ehanges are rung on the bells every week day. and the bells are ehimed every Sunday afternoon and evening. Kent Sehool has been for the past several years lhe only plaee in the United States where ehanges have been rung daily. Sinee the autumn of the year nineteen hundred thirty-five, the Kent Sehool ringers have had no outside assistanee: the art of ehange ringing has been earried on from year to year by the boys thenlselves. A ehairman, appointed by the ring- ing guild from the fifth form on Nlay first, assisted by some of the older boys, teaehes the younger boys both the manipulation of the bells and the seienee of the ehanges. As the ringing has shown improvement for the last two years, it is probable that it will go on here for a long time without the aid of an instruetor. This past year Theodore VV. Sterling, Jr.. ehairman, Sanmel A. VVhit.e, Jr., and Aaron A. lland have been earrying on the work of James Girdwood, II, last year's ehairman. VVit.h adviee from the headmaster. the ehairman meets the younger boys in the elass room or individually to teaeh them the prineiples of the ehanges and to fornmlate plans for future ringing. It is to be cxpeeted that George Nvhiltlesey and fharles Granger of the Fifth Form will ably earry on the ringing tradition next year.

Under the capable leadership of Frederick Hicks as President. Cyrus Quinn as Vice President, and Theodore Brophy, the cluh this year celehrated its third season of outside dehates as well as its third year under the tutelage of Mr. Hayes. who was ably assisted hy Mr. St. John. It was decided at the start of the year to limit membership in the Society to twenty fellows. who were to he divided into a first. and second debating team of eight men each. In the first outside dehate of the Fall Term the second team engaged the Yale Freshmen on the topic, Resolved: that this house approve the C'hamherlain foreign policy. This dehate, though held no-decision, provided the memhers of the Society with valuahle experience in the Oregon System, which was substituted for the Oxford type to good effect. The first team met Hotchkiss on Novemher 30 in another no-decision dehate on the issue Resolved: that the desire for prestige is the greatest enemy of peace .

Aside from actual debating, the Public Speaking Society has heard frequent talks, both prepared and extemporaneous, from its members and has been bene- fitted by numerous interesting Open Forum discussions on world affairs. Also, on Thanksgiving Day, President Hicks gave the principal address of the afternoon, and on Washington's Birthday Bradford and Noble, both members of the Society, gave excellent speeches. Mention of the splendid work done by the two Faculty Advisors to the Society, Messrs. Hayes and St. John, is certainly in order, for it is largely through them that interest in public speaking has been maintained and stimulated. Be- cause of their efforts, Public Speaking at Kent has been definitely established, and we fell confident that this extremely worthwhile activity will continue at the School under their guidance for many years to come. 00793 Page one hundred eleven TH E KENT SCHOOL DRAMATIC SOCIETY liurlr ln'ou'.' ll'.

Hhcrnum, Wielin fI,7'f'S'l:fle 7LfJ, lVlvilnf'jf Diramattiies llli year 1939 will go down as certainly the most amhitious, and at the same time perhaps the most successful season the Dramatic Society has ever under- taken. l acilities for the production and staging of plays were of course greatly augmented two years ago with the erection of the Auditorium. and the School dramatists immediately took advantage of the increased opportunities thus afforded them in the new hnilding hy presenting three great hits to wildly appre- ciative audiences during the past year. The first of the three. offered in the Spring Term of last year, was Bessie NV. Springer's A Girl To Order . a farce dealing with the college career of an average young man whose father. at the climax of the play. is confronted with two young ladies. hoth claiming to he his son's fiancee. The leading role in this production was filled hy .lohu Tucker '38 who a few weeks later was succeeded hy Peter VVick as President of the Society. Soon after the start of this School Year. the cluh exercised a new privilege. and decided upon its own production. a choice previously left to Mr. Baker. the Faculty Advisor. The play chosen was Balderstone and Deane's dramatization of St.oker's famous novel. Dracula , The play, perhaps the hest reeeived of any ever offered on the Kent stage. was a triumph for the entire Society. Hicks of the Sixth Form took the leading role of Dr. Abraham Van Helsing, who had Page om' lzuurlrcfl fIl'l'IL'l' TEAR BOOK 1939 been summoned by Dr. Seward, an English friend, to aid him in his search for the cause of his daughter Lucy's illness. Finally, Dr. Van Helsing traced the curious disease to Count Dracula, a vampire, played by Wick, and killed him by driving a stake through his heart in an underground vault. Hale, a Third Former, took the part of Dr. Seward, and Hensel of the Fifth Form acted as Lucy Seward, while Earnest filled the role of Harker, her fiance. The part of Renfield, a maniac under the evil spell of Dracula, was taken by Sixth Former Sherman, Secretary of the Society. In the VVinter Term Mr. Baker satisfied a great ambition by successfully producing Journey's End by R. C. Sheriff, the famous drama of the last war, a play requiring the very best of acting skill in characterization. Hicks again took the leading role as Captain Stanhope, while Sherman played the part of Lieutenant Osborne, Strebeigh of the Fourth Form acted as young Raleigh, Sixth Former Platt as Trotter, and President Wick as Hibbert. Earnest, Andrews, Morrissey and G. FitzGerald, all of the Sixth Form, were extremely capable in their perform- ances as the Sergeant-Major, the Colonel, Captain Hardy, and Private Mason, and Hale turned in a good bit of acting as a German prisoner. High praise is due the Kent Dramatic Society for first of all. deciding to abandon the comparatively insignificant one-act type of drama adhered to in former years. and secondly for so magnificently producing the fine plays it has during the past year. Mr. Richard M. Baker, Director of Dramatics and Faculty Advisor to the Society, is deserving of the greatest credit for his many and valued efforts toward making the Thespian art at Kent such a vital and lasting institution. for without his guidance, Dramatics at the School would be a nonentity.

Harrington, head of the modern language department, the Kent French Club, or Le Cercle Francais . has done much this year to stimulate an interest and ability in the French language as a spoken tongue. Since conversational ability cannot be obtained in the classroom itself, the French Ulub offers those students of French who wish to acquire a speaking ability an interesting and profitable way to fulfill this deficiency. Although only in its second year, the club, with H. B. Bradford of the Sixth Form as president. has made 111uch progress in establishing itself as one of Kent's regular extra-curricular activities. lVIr. Francis C. St. John of the faculty has proved himself a capable, interested, and sympathetic helper in the club's activi- ties, and its members wish to take this opportunity to express their sincere appre- ciation for all he has done for them during the past year. This year the club met weekly. in an atmosphere of informality. in the Coffee Room. where its members assembled for discussion and the reading of plays and speeches. To add further to their enjoyment. several feeds were held. during which the conversation took on a natural and unrestrained tone, and a number of records of 'Tlyrano de Bergaracf' Topaze.,, La Fontaine, and some French skits were played. the dialogue being by members of the Comedie Francaise. In this way the members of the club acquire or maintain a conversational fluency and ability which may be of use to them in later life. It is to be expected that next year the French Club will be even more firmly entrenched in the life of the school and offer more and greater advantages to those who have a real and vital interest in the French language. Puyr' our lzumlrwd .fiffI'l'll THE KENT SCHOOL The Cum Laude Society CORRESPONDIN GLY similar to the position that the Phi Beta Kappa Society retains in colleges, the Cum Laude Society is an organization, begun at Tome School in 1906, whose membership represents high attainment in scholar- ship. The Kent Chapter Was established in 1930 and since that time 132 Kent men have won the little Cum Laude cross. Certain ones among this number are Alumni of the School who fulfilled the requirements necessary for admission prior to 1930. Cum Laude is an honor which every fellow in the School would like to attain. Its name commands a great deal of respect and those few fellows who each year win Cum Laude are to be highly commended. This year, instead of awarding the boys who have had an average of over eighty-five for three years, with admission to the Society in March, all members are to be admitted on Prize Day in June. This decision has been made with the idea that no candidates will let down in their work between March and June. Those members of the Faculty who are in the Society's Kent Chapter include: F. H. Sill, President, J. P. Humphreys, Secretary, Richard M. Baker, Treasurer, T. F. Evans, M. D. Nadal, C. P. Harrington, F. V. Anders, T. D. Walker, C. K. Loomis, Alan McDowell, W. C. Woods, D. A. Tirrell, W. Worthington, R. L. Gilliam, G. B. Chadwick. Pa 0 one hundred .vizdeen 9 TEAR BOOK 1939 INSIDE K ENT Puyf' nm' llzuulrml swzwrzfm THE KENT SCHOOL The Alumni Association HE attitude of a School towards its Alumni should be one of respect. No group deserves more respect than Kent's Alumni. Those who have gone before us and have known and realized the value of the life at Kent as we must, have, with Pater, helped to build up the Kent tradition of Simplicity of Life. They have moulded that tradition in thirty short years to such an extent that we who now carry it on are put to a real test in order to maintain their Hne record. The Kent Alumni Association with its twelve hundred members is run with- out any fixed dues. Each alumnus contributes what he can each year to the Association's fund and the money that comes in goes toward the annual awards made to the Kent News Board in addition to what is added to the Alumni Endowment Fund. In order that the Alumni may keep in touch with the life of the School, a Council of five members, one of whom is replaced each year, convenes annually at the School. This annual meeting of the Alumni Council serves primarily as a symbol of the connection between School and Alumni, and secondly as a manifes- tation of that body's continued interest in the School's welfare. Toto Walker, '19, Secretary of the Alumni Association and resident at School, is responsible each year for the Council get-together. His work throughout the year as Secretary is most loyal and helpful. Chairman of this year's Council was W. Halsey Wood, '10, Other members included Sidney B. Ashmore, '18, Rich- ard G. Cady, '25, Emile F. duPont, '17 and Robert Worthington, '19. Page one hundred eighteen TEAR BOOK 1939 Fathers' and Mothers? Associations HE Fathers' Association, one of the oldest organizations connected with the School, has had a very vital part in the continual erection of Kent and the im- provement of its facilities. It has contributed generously to the building of the Dining Hall, North Dorm, Sports Building, and within the past few years, the Auditorium Building. It provided the funds necessary for the erection of the dam which causes the pond now named in their honor, and is actively engaged at this time in the raising of the four hundred thousand dollars to be used for the Completion of the Permanent Kent During the Lifetime of the Founder. Every year, the members of the Association gather at the School some time in the Spring, at which time they make a thorough investigation into every phase of the School life, and hear reports from the Headmaster, the Business Manager, and the Student Council. The last gathering of the Fathers took place in May, 1938, when Mr. Dominic Rich '14 was elected President for this year. Very closely allied with the Fathers in their interest in the School is the Mothers' Association, which convenes at Kent each year to keep in touch with actual conditions at the School. Many of the things we take more-or-less for granted here are the results of the Mothers' thoughtfulness and generosity. At their annual meeting last Spring, Mrs. Stanley Bodell was elected President for the ensuing year. Perhaps the most appreciated thing the hlothers' Association has done recently is the compilation of the handsome Kent calendars, which have found an enthusiastic reception here and elsewhere.

In recognition of this policy, this year's board has endeavored to make the News, in its twenty-fifth year of publication, more interesting to its readers than ever before. The large group of willing work- ers and talented writers making up the Board have given unstintingly of their time and energy towards the improvement of the paper, and judging from the ex- pressed approval, both written and spoken, of the subscribers, their work has not been in vain. As far as possible, the News Board has attempted to do away with lengthy sports articles padded with unnecessary and uninteresting detail and substitute in their stead shorter stories dealing with the less obvious phases of school life. Interviews with the school help, reports on various extra-curricular activities, and occasional human interest stories have swelled the usual number of weekly articles in order that this idea might be carried out. On several occasions members of the faculty have contributed articles on topics of special interest. The School Notes, a column supposed to be written primarily for the student body, have been dealt with in such a manner that the alumni are able to enjoy them as much as the school does. The editorials, as in former years, have been confined to topics dealing directly with the school and have attempted to represent not merely the views of the Board, but of the student body itself. Mr. Walker, the Alumni Secretary, has performed his usual excellent job of keeping the Alumni Notes column well filled. The alumni themselves have writ- ten in again and again, their letters offering not only approval but also their own personal views on subjects discussed in the News. Material for the Contributoris Column in this year's News has been at the same time plentiful and interesting, and the very fact that the alumni are not merely contented to read the paper but are willing to write for it, too, would seem a certain indication that the Board has succeeded in attaining their ideal. Faced by a lack of suitable material, the News has not put out the usual number of Literary Supplements, preferring to wait until the necessary amount and grade of work could be assembled. The Pictorial Supplements, however, have been excellent. They have, to a certain extent, done away with the usual year-after-year type of pictures and have endeavored to present, as has the News itself, a more intimate view of the life at Kent. The News has advanced during the past year, as it has advanced every year for the past quarter century. The Board has given much time to the training and instruction of not only the Fifth Form staff but also the Fourth Form heelers, in the belief that more actual experience for the future Boards will materially increase the excellence and efficiency of The Kent News. These two forms have demonstrated beyond any doubt their capability of carrying on the ideals of the News in the years to come, and the present editors are content in the knowledge that next year's Board will handle the News to the complete satisfaction of the alumni and the School.

The old order changetlw s yielding place to new. ll Tennyson The New Building T gives us, the Graduating Class, an unexplainable lofty feeling to know that as we pass on from Kent, the Headmaster's goal of the permanent Kent has ceased to be a dream. As we write this in March, the wreckers have arrived to dismantle the Old Study Hall and North Building. What the builders plan to replace them with, is seen on paper on the opposite page. It is a real lesson in Directness of Purpose to be able to comprehend the thirty-three years of Kent tradition which is behind the realization of that building. We recognize, as the symbol of that tradition, the Headmaster. The New Building will include a sumptuous library from all that we under- stand and will serve as a dormitory for 118 boys, not to mention four masters' suites. We feel that we, now, as a portion of the Student Body, about to graduate, owe all those who have helped to make the New Building a reality, a sincere vote of thanks. We feel sure that the forms that follow us will show their appreciation in a more real sense by maintaining Kent's high standard of religious and educa- tional stability. Illl SPQRTS The 11938 Crew Season IIE 1938 f'rew Season officially began the last week in February when over twenty-five fifth and sixth formers reported to Coach Walker in the Main Building rowing room for pre-season practice on the machines. Although the formation of a smooth-working second crew was a problem all season, the first crew. with the lone exception of the bow man, was the same unit from the first day of the season till the Henley Regatta Finals. This strong condition was possible because there remained seven letter men plus Captain Evan Thomas, the veteran coxswain, from the 1937 Hrst and second boats. With Hank Drinker' heading the list at stroke, Toto had an experienced crew of sixth formers all the way forward to bow. Here a fifth former, Bob Awtrey, proved his worth and oarsmanship throughout the season until a case of grippe forced the substitution of Jim Hooper shortly before the Tabor race. After a three week session on the rowing machines the first and second crews broke camp until school was resumed in April after the Spring Vacation. Three more weeks of intensive training and time trials went by before the season was officially opened with the races with two crews from M.I.T. on April twenty-third. The honor of the season's inaugural went to the second crew when they easily defeated the lVI.l.T. second 150-lb. freshman in the time of 5.07 over a mile course. The Kent eight showed much promise in pulling away from the college boat at the start and increasing its lead steadily throughout the race. Shortly after this en- counter the first crew lined up at the stake boats with the M.I.T. Sophomores. Starting aggressively and at once showing power and drive, the Kent eight gained an advantage over the second year men which continued till the finish. Though M.l.T. waged a gallant battle, they were five lengths behind at the end. In its first start the Kent crew was timed in 4-.50 and 315 seconds. The next Saturday found a large Father's Day crowd gathered on the banks of the Housatonic to watch the largest regatta of the season for the Kent eights. In the first event of the afternoon the second crew, showing improvement over its form of the previous week, defeated the lwanhattan 150 lb. freslnnan. Once under way the outcome of the race was never in doubt, and the Kent shell crossed the line an easy winner. The dayis main feature followed in the form of an en- counter between the school's first fi, crew and the highly-touted Dfanhat- tan freshman. However, the race was practically a repeat of the M.l.T. victory. Captain Thomas' men jumped the Frosh at the start and pulled ahead steadily down the full length of the course to win by five lengths over the mile distance in the time of 5.18.

The following weekend found Kentfs first. two crews travelling to the lower llousatonic at Derhy to race two Yale boats. The regatta was held in the rough- est water of the spring and the poor conditions had much to do with the outcome of the races. In the preliminary event, the Kent. second crew found stiff competi- tion in the Yale 150 lb. Freshman. FFOIII the standpoint of oarsinanship it was a poor race all the way. Both crews relied on sheer power to win and despite Yale's frequent spurts, Kent took a slight lead at the quarter lIlilC, increased it to three quarters of a length at the half. and put on a ragged hut effective sprint in the last quarter to win hy a length and a quarter in 5.14. The first crew race against the Yale second Freshman was a battle royal. After a poor start in the rough water, lmoth boats rowed evenly to the quarter and then to the half' where Kent gained a slight advantage. However, the wind and waves ruined the school's spurt and Yale took the lead. An exciting finish ensued as the ruffled Kent lmoat strove to make up Yale's lead. But the line came too soon and the Eli pushed their shell past the hlue and white flags two feet in the van of Kent.. The time was 5.04-. For the first time since the beginning of the season. Kent entertained a. schoolboy crew, Belmont Hill, on the Saturday following the Yale races. As apre- linlinary to the main race hetween the first Vrew and its MElSSklt'llllSQ1ttS opponent. the second crew answered the challenge of Coach C0llll0I'C and his sixth form eight for a scrap over the mile distance. The former crew had a decided ofi' day as the Gentleman caine through with an unexpected victory. However the l'uyr one llllflffffll lu'1'nly-llfllr' THE KENT SCHOOL feud was evened the following weekend when Coach Colmore's charges failed to withstand the power of a revived second crew. The boys from Belmont Hill proved to be a strong but inexperienced crew which could not cope with Kent's spirited drive. The latter boat won easily by six lengths in a race which featured the power and smoothness of Coach VValker's charges and boded well for the all important race with Tabor on the twenty-eighth of Nlay, After the Belmont race there remained two weeks of heavy practice before Tabor, victor over Kent for two years, was to bring its two powerful crews to Kent for the season's crucial race. It was clear in the minds of the crew that if they went to Henley defeated by Tabor, winner of the Thames cup in 1936 and 1937. their chances in the famous regatta would be slim indeed. Accordingly t.hey set about the last weeks of training with a determined spirit. Their hopes received a sudden setback when the bowman, Bob Awtrey became sick and was unable to row. However Hooper was elevated from the second crew and filled the latter's place admirably for the remainder of the season. It is doubtful if any crew race in recent years at Kent attracted more interest than the Tabor race. Certainly the State road was packed to capacity with cars when the two schoolboy erews lined up at the start. The spectators witnessed a truly spectacular race. Tabor. using a higher stroke. jumped the Blue and Gray eight at the very beginning and gave Kent's supporters some qualms by gaining a half length lead. But Kent's race had been well planned. Settling down to a powerful beat and exhibiting tremendous leg drive, Captain Thomas' men pulled up on Tabor, passed them at the half and crossed the finish line, two lengths ahead in the splendid time of 4-.4-5. The season officially ended a short while later when the Tabor second varsity outlasted the Kent seconds in a hard fought race. By defeating Tabor. Kent enjoyed the most successful crew season since 1933. With such a fine record behind them, the first crew turned to two weeks of Pre-Henley conditioning with confidence and satisfaction. - Although the Banquet was not held until after the Henley races. at the an- nual crew party for the entire school on hlemorial Day, letters were awarded to Awtrey.

All sueh reports were brought to a. happy elimax at the annual Fathers' day meeting, during the first weekend in htay. There Father Silt oftieially itll- r nouneed that the sehool would send a erew over in June. fo quote his words, Not beeause we regard our ehanees of winning as extremely promising but. be- eause the fellows on the erew this year are a grand buneh and have worked hard llol this trip H .Xfter live highly sueeessful raees in this eountry, the squad of sixteen left New York the eleventh of .lime on the M. Y. liritannie. With the realization of the job before them, the erew trained faithfully on the maehines while at sea. although there was always an attitude of relaxation and pleasure in everything that the squad did, espeeially at the uproarious meals. The nineteenth of June found the Kent eontingent firmly eseoneed in their rw quarters m the gxt'llltStlt'l' Private Ilotel at Ilenley-On-t.he- l hames. The training period ol' ten days before the world famous regatta opened was broken up in part by the neeessity for some members of the squad to take Vollege tintranee Exami- nations. Yet the work on the erew's smoothness and timing proeeeded so sueeess- fully that the first eight reaehed a peak of perfeetion in every raee. Hopes were indeed high but there was never a traee of overeonfidenee in the Kent eamp. The Kent boat was given a fair ehanee to win. as were the two other Ameriean ehal- l lengers in the Thames t'up, The Yale and llarvard 150 lb. varsities. However. when Toto's eharges drew the Quintin Boat t'lub. eonquerors of Kent's entry in ISP!!-1-. in the first round, many thought Kent might leave the regat.ta's list of t'HllllK'tlt0t'S sooner than expeeted. Nothing of the sort happened. tn the late afternoon of the opening day, .tune twenty-ninth. heat seven of the Thames fhallenge t'up between the erews of Quintin aml Kent Sehool took plaee. The Ameriean youths jumped ahead at the start. and at the quarter were leading by two lengths. Lowering their stroke lo a thirty at this point Kent drew steadily away from the ragged English eight, .. andfinished nearly six lengths ahead in seven minutes and thirty-seven seeonds for the distanee of a mile and five- sixteenths. Although their debut im- pressed many observers, Kent was assured mueh stiffer eom- petition in the seeond round by the Harvard light weights. It was unfortunate, perhaps. ltrzsrm' Taorm' Bark li'au'.' lloupcr l rou1 li'on'.' THE HENLEY SQUAD .l.

Many thought that at the end of Thursday's events. the lighter, faster Van- tahs would have eliminated Kent. However, the story shows that the latter carried no such idea in mind. The Blue and Gray jumped Harvard at the start. quickly grahhed three quarters of a length lead and sprinted down the rain streaked course. The lightweights put on a sprint. at Fawley. the halfway mark, hut Kent took full advantage of its superiority in poundage to overpower the Harvard shell and cross the line still three quarters of a length in the lead, in seven minutes and sixteen seconds, The day following the Harvard race was Kent's off afternoon.

Here the scared Kent. supporters watched Hank Drinker call for a terrific sprint which enahled the Blue and Gray shell to draw even with, pass and defeat hy a length. the hard fighting St. John's crew. The time was seven minutes and thirty-nine seconds. Now the thought that ran through everyhody's mind was whether Kent had enough power and strength left to conquer Yale in the morning and then go on to win the finals in the late afternoon. Vaptain Thomas' men proved equal to the task.

The time of seven minutes and six seconds tied the second fastest time ever made in the Thames event. Shortly after five o'clock, just barely five hours after the gruelling Yale race, Kent lined up at the stakeboats against the London Rowing Club B crew. There was an agonizing pause and then the two crews were off. The closest race of the regatta was underway. London had a distinct advantage at the first signal and at the second marker there was open water between the two shells. One of the boys in the Kent boat confessed afterwards that he thought the race was over. They had reached the finals but the Cup was going to stay in England. How- ever, from Fawley to the Hnish Kent form and stamina did the trick. London, ruHled by the slow, steady overtaking movements of the Kent boat, lost their drive and became ragged. With a magnificent sprint, a fitting climax to any season, the Kent shell gave ten thousand spectators a real rowing thrill by making up two lengths in the last two hundred yards and sweeping to victory and the Thames Cup in the time of seven minues and three seconds. They had estab- lished a new second fastest time for the event. For the second time a crew from Kent School had captured a cup symbolic of an international championship in junior rowing. At the banquet the night of the finals, Fred Requardt was unanimously elected captain for the 1939 season. After that important business and some congratulatory speeches were finished off, the rest of the evening remains as untold history. Moreover it was late August before the last vestiges of a highly successful crew left Europe. Several returned to the states with Father Sill the second Week in July, while four others toured the continent. Page one hundred thirty-five Baseball HE 1938 season of the Kent Baseball Team was mainly one of disappointed hopes. It was marked by the weak batting of the team as a whole, although a sterling individual performance was turned in by Captain Losee both in the pitcher's box and at the plate. The team reached its peak in the last game of the season, that with Choate. although the score was 4-1 in Choate's favor. Practice started on April lst with a large number of candidates, including four returning lettermen, Captain Losee, Gill, Aycrigg, and Rhodes, reporting. The squad was soon diminished to eighteen by a number of cuts . After the first few games the squad was further cut down to fifteen. On April 16th, after two weeks of practice. the team opened the season against the Yale Frosh on the home diamond, and bowed before the visitors to the tune of Q0-2. The home team was able to glean but two hits from the Freshman pitcher, one of them being Losee's first home run of the season. In this game the team made thirteen misplays in the field. The second game also took place at Kent, on April Q0th, with Gunnery form- ing the opposition. Although the visitors outhit Kent ll-9, the latter was able to bunch its hits, including triples by Jackson and Losee, in four big innings, and take thc game. I4-7. The line-up for this game was: Schmidt. Qb: Rhodes, lb: Pfeiffer, rf: l.osee, p: Gill, lf: Foster, Sb, Robinson, ssg Jackson, cf, Warfield, c. The following Saturday the team journeyed to Taft and defeated the Baseball Team there by the score of 5-4, thanks to a thrilling rally in the ninth. At the end of the eighth inning, the score stood 3-I in Taft's favor, and when Hill, the Water- town twirler, retired the first two men up and had two strikes on Robinson, it seemed as if all were over. But the Kent man lifted a long fly to left Held, and was able to reach second on an error. Rhodes, the potential tying run, was walked, and Pfeiffer singled to load the bases. The Taft pitcher then hit both Losee and Gill with pitched balls to tie the score, leaving the winning run on third. Foster cracked a double for two more runs, and although Aycrigg fanned to end the spree. Kent was ahead 5-3. Taft attempted a counter-attack, but were able to put only one run across. On April 27th, the team encoun- tered Hotchkiss on home territory. Handicapped by the absence of Captain Losee, the team was defeated 24--4. Second baseman Aycrigg turned in a notable performance as a relief pitcher, allowing five hits in four innings. Gill accounted for three of the home team's six hits.

The team travelled to Lakeville on Saturday, May 28th, to play Hotchkiss for the second time. Although the visitors outhit the home team 10-9, Hotchkiss, with the aid of a big fourth inning, was able to overcome the Kent nine 10-7. Nlorrisey, Losee, and Salisbury, Second Team relief pitcher, were on the mound for Kent. while Halsey and Haines divided pitching honors for the victors. The following day in a regular scheduled game the Kent team met a group of School Alumni and defeated them to the tune of 12-5. Pitching for the Old Grads were Sanford '23 and Gordon '37, All three regular Kent pitchers served on the mound, Losee seeing duty in the first three innings, Johnson the next three, and Morrisey finishing the game. Schmidt, hitting three times. one a powerful double, the other two expensive, slashing, one-base drives, was the star of the afternoon, receiving one base on balls, fielding smoothly. On Tuesday, May 31st, the team journeyed to Choate for the traditional encounter. Although the Kent team was defeated 4-1, it played at this time its best game of the season. Losee, who went the stretch for Kent, allowed eleven hits, while the Choate pitcher gave up five. Losee starred at the plate for the losers, hitting three for three. At the end of the eighth inning Choate was ahead I-0. Kent tied this score in the first frame of the ninth, but Choate shoved over three more runs to give them the game. And so Kentis season ended with six victories to seven defeats. Losee's .34-1 headed the batting averages, while Rhodes was tops in the fielding department with an average of .9T5.

Pugz' our hunrlrrwl flzfrly-ninf Tennis ARLY in the Spring the 1938 tennis squad was hampered by snow and inclement weather which made it impossible to work on the courts. However, despite this handicap. the team was well under way and practising hard before its initial encounter. The first team was chosen and ranked in the following order: Van Rensselaer, Brooks, llole, Shearer. N. Conze, Tate and S. Farr. The following paired up in doubles: Van Rensselaer and Shearer, Hole and N. Fonze, Tate and Sauer, and Vonway and S. Farr. Un April 16 the Kent team had its first encounter with Poly Prep at Kent and downed its rival 5-Q. Vaptain Van Rensselaer's match with Schwartzman of l'oly Prem was a particularly brilliant one, and it was only after a hard-fought exciting match that the Kent man overcame his opponent. who was rated above Van Rensselaer in the National Junior Rankings. The following Wednesday Kent met and defeated Pawling 5-l with Brooks acting as captain in Vaptain Van Rensselaer's absence, and Saturday saw the Kent netmen set back for the first t.imc at the hands of a strong and experienced Yale Freshmen Team. On Wednesday the 27th the Kent players bowed down to the Williams Fresh- men, Faptain Yan Rensselaer alone winning his match and defeating Collins of Williams. The Fathers vs. Sons match was cancelled by rain. and it was not until a wcek later that the Kent netmen met and vanquished Cheshire 9-0. This decisive victory was followed up by the defeat of Peddie on t.he home courts 6-3 and the annual encounter with Hotchkiss in which a hard-fought contest ended in a victory for Hotchkiss. The score was 7-2. A few days later on May 14th the Kent players lost a hard-fought contest to Loomis by the narrow margin of one point, 5-4. Although Kent won the singles 4--Q, Loomis took the doubles, which were the high-spot of the afternoon's playing, and it was only after the last player was off the courts that the match was definitely assured to Loomis. -Y Continuing its fine record, the Kent tennis team defeated Westmin- ster by the score of 7-2 and Taft of 5-3. The Taft match was marked by fine playing on both sides, particularly the doubles in which the playing of the Kent netmen showed definite improvement over previous matches. CAPT.

In this match. which was won by Kent 6-4, the home nctmen exhibited their best playing of the season and particularly good teamwork. The annual encounter with Choate, scheduled for May Q7th. was cancelled because of rain. and the Kent netmen concluded another very successful season by de- feating the Alumni 9-6 on May 30th. Captain Yan Rensselaefs services to tennis at Kent can scarcely be over- estimated. After playing for four years for the Blue and Gray. he finished his last year by coming through the season undefeated. His absence and the absence of Brooks. Shearer. S. Farr and Conway will be much regretted by all who follow tennis at Kent. However. the prospects for a successful season in 1939 with four returning lettermen are indeed hopeful. The material from the Qnd team, which had a very successful season under Captain Register, winning three matches, is promising for another successful tennis season in 1939 under Conze who was chosen captain at the annual tennis picnic on May Slst. The squad expects to miss Assistant Coach Donaldson who so ably coached the second team and helped Coach Humphreys in every way.

Discounting the first half of the contest against Choate at Wallingford, there was not a minute of play all season which did not show Kent to be a serious threat. The Blue and Gray, however, although rolling up much yardage against Hotchkiss, for example, never seemed to be able to get the breaks for a score or else was slow in forcing them. If any particular highlight to the season is to be pointed out, then the all- around hard football play of Captain Bebe Lyon shines fort.h. Lyon was a hard. aggressive contender all the way. He paved the way for three out of four of Kent's touchdowns by means of his accurate passing. He rose to great heights in the Choate game, playing one of the best defensive battles seen at Kent for a long time. The Blue and Gray eleven won one game and lost five. Bill Nadal had four K men back from the year before: Bebe Lyon, Tom Wells, Joe Rhodes, and Fred Requardt. Unfortunately, Requardt, at end, was lost to the team after the Cheshire game. because of an attack of appendicitis. Bill worked hard with Dave Tirrell and .lim Hmnphreys to get a green squad into shape. The line looked formidable enough with Rhodes. Dick Warfield, and Ted Block as nuclei to build around. For the back field. Lyon was at full, VVells at half, and for the first game with Cheshire, Warren Fales at the other half and Ted Truslow at quarter rounded out the line-up. The team that traveled up from Roxbury to open the season with Kent on October 9, was to the home forces an unknown quantity before the game started. Cheshire's recent football history was strong, but they didn't look any heavier or more formidable than Kent. It was a good game. Neither team's offense clicked in the first half. But there were times when Tom Wells broke away for fifteen or twenty yards and had the stands on their feet. Cheshire came back with some of its vaunted power in the second half and put over two touchdowns. There was nothing brilliant about the manner in which they accomplished them. They hammered off-tackle and twice the pounding turned the trick with the aid of good blocking and speed on the part of the runners, Mairx and Stotzer. October 16, the Blue and Gray invaded Lakeville to meet Hotchkiss. It was a beautiful day but not in the light of Kent's disappointments that after- noon. The unfortunate part of the Hotchkiss game was that it was really over ten minutes after it started. A blocked kick and five minutes later a brief sustained march which caught Kent's pass defense asleep, found the Lakeville contingent in the lead, 12-0. 12-0 was the final score. For the rest Carr.

October 23. The team functioned smoothly at long last and pushed over two markers before the game had had mueh time to get under way. Lyon's tosses found their mark again and again right from the beginning. Ted Truslow and Tom VVells piling up twelve points on the receiving end there in the first quarter. The elimax came towards the start of the seeond half when W'ells, taking a pass from Lyon in punt formation, gave a truly gratifying exhibition of open-field running when he twisted his way for ninety yards and six more points. Kent won the game, 18-0. I Un October 30 at Sheffield, a doggedly determined Berkshire eleven trouneed the Blue and Gray 220-6. nor did they do it politely. Kent put up a good tight until the final eight minutes. Here the Green and Gray released their power and twiee piereed Kentls defense before the final whistle. Vliells, Jim Crane and Cap- tain Lyon worked well in the haekfield but the Blue and Gray line weakened there at the end. Crane scored for Kent in the seeond quarter following a short drive from the 18-yard stripe. Page one ,IIIlll1l'l'llf0I'f!jjfll'U THE KENT SCHOOL The next. week. Taft came to Alumni Field and subdued the team 13-0. It was a gloomy. uninteresting game. Kent missed Dick Warfield and Tom W'ells, out with minor injuries. Joe Rhodes had his nose broken before the first quarter was over. Tim Anstice came out the same way. The Red and White did not manage to score, however, until late in the third quarter when, after Kent had repulsed one drive at the 18-yard line, Moore took the ball in his own territory and ran 69 yards for a score. Later Brown of Taft intercepted one of Bebe's tosses and hoisted his team's total to thirteen. At Wallingford on November 25, the Blue and Gray was given its final and most decisive beating. Choate spun, faked, reversed and lateraled the length and width of the field and had Kent smarting under a 19-0 deficit at half-time. Coming out to finish the season by giving the School an exhibition of what they really could do, the Blue and Gray eleven played some real football in the second half. It was not a case of blaming bad breaks any more, but of just stopping the Choate machine. The Blue and Gold did garner another touchdown but they had to fight hard for it. Captain Lyon's passing to Crane and Wells and Jack Rawls spelled much yardage and Kent's attempt to rally was a highly redeeming feature but Choate had too many Weapons to combat and won handily. Despite the unimpressivc record of the first team, football enjoyed many steps forward at Kent, this fall. Toto VValker's usual scrappy and heady squad captained by Dick Leake, may well feel proud. Except for a close reversal at the hands of a fairly strong South Kent team, the seconds went through their five-game season undefeated and untied. They never failed to give Bill Nadal's squad plenty to worry about in practice sessions. Both the midget and junior squads had encouraging seasons. Football at Kent had a good year and it is certain that for pure fun and valuable training few schools equalled Kent's record. At the banquet which added the final sumptuous touches to the season, Karl Block, veteran guard was elected captain to succeed Bebe Lyon. The balloting was almost unanimous for Block and he well-deserved the honor.

However, the season was not made notable by an undefeated record but by the fine spirit and sportsmanship which prevailed in every game in which Captain Tilghman and his Kent sextet participated. The weather and ice condi- tions, particularly throughout January, were of the best possible quality compared to two previous winters of mild weather. Only two games were cancelled the entire season. After the Lenox game had been postponed, the first hockey game of the year took place on Leonard's Pond against Gunnery on the eleventh of January. Both teams showed their lack of practice but Kent clearly outplayed the sextet from Washington and might have compiled a larger score than two to nothing if their shooting had been in shape. Defenseman Requardt scored the year's first goal on a hard shot from the blue-line and later on Rhodes' shot bounced off Hand's stick into the enemy cage. The team's first real test of the season came against the Yale Freshman the following Saturday. Outskated and outplayed the Kent sextet found itself two goals behind at the end of the first period. However in the second chapter, flash- ing improved form and spirit, Tilghman's men tied the score on two swift, bril- liant goals by Hand. The rest of the encounter was a frenzied contest, but the miraculous saves of Anstice in the Kent nets aided the Kent team in coming off the ice with a notable 2 to 2 tie, The Kent team exhibited a superb brand of hockey in their next game with a Hotchkiss outfit. Behind by one goal at the end of the first period, Schmidt scored on a thrilling solo dash in the second to tie the match up. Then beautiful teamwork and the forcing play of Requardt and Rhodes enabled Kent to continue undefeated as Schmidt and Hand scored on clever shots. Playing on extremely poor ice the team's streak was broken by a powerful Choate sextet at Wallingford. Kent hopes were high after the Hotchkiss triumph but two goals by Choate in the first five minutes of play and the poor playing con- ditions made the encounter a disappointing one, indeed. Bouncing back from the Choate debacle, Kent overwhelmed Pawling by four to nothing. Completely outplaying their rivals, all members of the first line of Hand, Schmidt, and Tilghman scored a goal while Eustis of the third line netted the fourth. Travelling to Watertown, Kent next played a speedy Taft team on excellent ice. Both teams showed mid-season form and after battling evenly for all but a few minutes of the game, Taft's star center, Guernsey, CAPT.

The next game was the scason's worst disappointment. A hoped for victory over a handicapped Berkshire team did not materialize as Kent played disorgan- ized hockey and lost a tough game, four goals to one. Tilghman's counter was the lone Kent. tally. The weekend following this game the hlorristown game was called off and as a result the Ranger trophy will continue to commute hetween the two schools for another year. A feature of the season followed in the form of an unscheduled game with the Yalc Cougars. This collegiate organization won hy a score of four to two in a game characterized by the free and easy playing of both teams. On February eighth the Kent squad journeyed to VVest Point. for the annual encounter with the plehes. The game was a thriller all the way. At the end of the second period on goals hy Leake, VVilcoX. Schmidt., and Hand, Kent led 4- to 2. lloweyer the plehes calne hack with a rush in the third to tic the game up at four goals all. The overtime efforts of hoth teams were to no avail. The two final games of the year were those with the powerful sextets of South Kent and the School Alumni. Playing on poor ice l,eake's goal in the third period proved to he the lone decisive factor in the former contest while in the latter the antics of .loe', Palmer and other hockey stars conquered the school in a hotly contested two-to-one battle.

Anstice was elected captain for the next year and Sclunidt received the Hawley Hockey Trophy for his consistently outstanding brand of hockey. It should he mentioned here that the team missed Gordon Ellis who was to have been Chairman of Hockey had he not had to leave School in December to he tutored.

The team, along about the middle of February. shared the Tri-State League lead with Taft. Then the Blue and Gray quintet journeyed over to VVatertown for a return tussle with Taft and lost. Nor did Kent win another game the rest of the season. Neither lack of spirit nor lack of organization was responsible. Kent lost to better teams and teamwork. Foaches Smith and Bartlett had three men from the 1938 five baek on which to build the team. Uaptain Ted Truslow and Karl Block at guards, and Ted Bassett at center, formed the nucleus. There was plenty of material to augment them and thc coaches planned consequently to work two tives alternately in most of the games. This plan worked out in the four preliminary practice games and in the two opening encounters with Berkshire and Canterbury. John Robinson. Dick Hole, a promising player who turned out to be the season's high seorer, Cy Quinn, back in the basketball ranks after a year's setback, and Dan Tate. were used at forward. Bassett and Jack lVIeGormick shared the pivot berth and Bebe Lyon, letter man from the year before, and Tom VVells rounded out the guard positions. When, however. on January 25, the team went to VVashington, Conn., t.o play Gunnery, it was without the services of Bassett and the plan to work two fives had to be abandoned. In this game VVells was shifted up to forward with Dick Hole where he played for the rest of the season. Gunnery trounced the Blue and Gray. Their tall center, Captain Bob Gilmore. did not seem to be able to miss the hoop from any point on the floor. Kent played its best game of the season against Taft the following VVednes- day. The Blue and Gray led all the way from the second quarter until the last quarter when the lvatertown contingent drew up even. Still Kent managed to win the game on Truslow's final set shot, his seventh of the contest. There fol- lowed a setback at the hands of Choate on Kent's court when the team did not seem too well organized, but the Blue and Gray returned to winning ways by again trouncing Canterbury. February 9 at Kent, the team took over Pawling in another thriller which meant that it had tied Taft for the League lead. The return game with Taft was an exhausting tussle. Kent made two points in the first half and looked positively sick. The third quarter was not 111uch better, but in the fourth quarter Kent's five came to life. Dick Hole and Ted Bassett started drop- ping shots they had been missing all afternoon and Kent pulled up from a 20-8 deficit to QQ-19 when the game CAr'r.

Then the team alter- rw nately missed Bassett. ltloeli. and Meforiniek so that Vaptain lrnslow found himself working off and on at eenter. The tinal game ot' the year was played against. Loomis on the lllne and Gray Floor. The team again showed little of its early season ahility. Captain 0'lNlal- ley of Loomis piled up twenty-four of his team's forty-five tallies and in general he had the Kent defense hog-tied. The Sec-ond 'l'eam's reeord was similarly unimpressive. They won tive games and lost seven. Vaptain Yan Slyek was the hulwark of the team at guard and the team worked fairly well asa whole at times. Certainly there is all sorts of material for Foam-h Smith to work with next year. lt. is neeessary to mention here the regret that the Sr-hool feels at the thought that lllr. Bartlett. will not he lmaek next year to eoaeh. He will he notahly missed, for he did everything along with Kent, Smith, to hnild up haskethall at Kent. At the hanqnet for the team after the season was over, Karl liloek was for a sec-ond time honored with a sports eaptainey. The footlmall captain-eleet was elec-ted eaptain ot' lvaskethall and onee again he deserved it. llis work for two seasons at guard has been of the steadiest and most relialmle sort. ljiljfl' nm' IIIIIHIFIVI Afrffyffim' Kent Kent Kent Kent Kent Kent Kent Kent Kent Kent Kent Kent 'THE KENT SCHOOL SEASON'S RECORD 50 Canterbury 26 Berkshire 14 Gunnery 30 Taft 21 Choate 35 Canterbury 22 Pawling 1 9 Taft 1 '7 Gunnery 2 1 Pawling 24 Berkshire 18 Loomis 9 24 41 28 31 14 19 QQ 33 30 33 45 CHAIRMAN CLAPP AND MANAGER MURRAY Page one hundred fifty-six TEAR BOOK 1939 l.os1NG T0 GFNNERY AND WINNING OVER PAWLING Page one lmmlrcd fifty-seven Wrestliug p IIE Kent Wlrestling Team emerged from its 1939 season with the satisfaetory reeord of three matehes won to two lost.
