From our contacts with him on the river, on the football field and in the classroom we have grown to respect him not only a coach and master, but as a real friend. Through his unselfish methods and characteristic ways, we feel content that we have inherited a portion of the best side of Kent life. Always self-effacing, Tote has given unstintingly of himself for the school and for his friends who are innumerable. Now he is to leave the school to serve his country he served it once before. To fulfill his duties will be diflicultg to replace him will be impossible. And so it is with unfeigned pride and grati- tude that WE DEDICATE THIS BOCK TO ffm! ll ffl 017719111 E CLASS OF 1949 HAS PIYRLISHED TIIIS YEAR BOOK FOR THOSE WHO HAVE AN INTEREST IN KENT, 1 AND HOPE THAT TIIESE PAGES WILL .PRESENT A TRUE PICTURE OF TIIE SCHOOL.

Our history is as it should he . . . filled with good tinies, conlrzlideship, and achieve- nient, yet scattered with small trials and ll'llJl1liLlQlO11S. In the n.zu'rz1tive that follows are to be found the inost insigiiiiicant and the rnost important of these events, inixed together with a dash of huniour. History of the Glass of 1942 EPTEBIBER, 1937, was not, in com- parison with the same month of other years, particularly noteworthy. It lacked such spectacular events as the hurricane of ,38 or the declaration of war in ,39. It was, in fact, a rather innocuous placid September, a fitting finish for a quiet summer. In one small portion of humanity, however, the advent of fall did arouse great excitement. The forty- four youths who had at various times during the summer been the recipients of letters announcing their acceptance into the Second Form at Kent, were aware of intense agitation. From all parts of the world they came, laden down with parents' blessings and clad in what salesmen had assured them were the latest for campus wear. Slowly but steadily they trickled into the Valley land of Kent, leaving behind them doting fathers and mothers who smiled bravely and hoped for the best. Those who arrived early in the course of that fateful afternoon had the oppor- tunity to grab the best bed and, when the first flurry of unpacking was over, were left to their own devices. Wfe can still recall the heartwarming thrill of finding, among a pile of baggage in the musty recesses of VVest Hall, a familiar face. It was Fred Siefke who, with a glad cry, pushed aside the debris and thrust out a warm, moist hand. In the awkward silence born of un- familiarity, a small group of us advanced BARRY PETE LUD timidly from the sheltering arms of the Main Building and wandered to the foot- ball field. There, in a fever of pre-season activity, two dozen or more bronzed giants were hurling themselves about in what we were later to know as Hlimber- ing-up exercisesu. The sight of these monsters stirred up a multitude of doubts in even the stoutest of new boys. Soon, however, the redoubtable 6.05 pulled in with its load of boys and we were engulfed in a vast flood of yelling and seemingly carefree young animals. From that time on, things moved too fast for us to have any chance to brood over our situation, and we were rapidly drawn into a whirl of activity. Dinner that night was a rather mysterious affair, the only two things made absolutely clear being our position at the table, and the fact that we probably wouldn't gain much weight this first year. Chapel and the meeting in the Study followed in whirlwind sequence and we were rather breathless and bewildered when we finally seated ourselves on the Study fioor. Here assignments were given out by the imposing circle of masters which surrounded us. lt was there that the realization of our purpose here at Kent dawned upon us, and we knew that vaca- tion was over. Shortly following this, we were sent to our beds, happy in the knowledge that we had met Pater and had received our assignments. A vague pattern was beginning to formulate in GIL BAKE + ...i.W,.f...f...1-. n.iw.s...H..2:ln .'... ..-I..-.L-'. up ISAI L LEW our confused minds, and if there was a weeping and wailing in the old lVIain Building that night, it was among a very small minority. After the first hectic week of blind fumbling and uncertainty, the Second Form began to get a hold on themselves. Distinct personalities rose to the surface, and we really felt that the School could not get along Without us. Needless to say, this opinion was not shared so wholeheartedly by the rest of the school, but despite the fact that we were re- peatedly called the worst Second Form ever to enter Kentv, we kept smiling. The second floor of the hflain Building, which had enjoyed comparative peace and quiet for the first week, soon became the scene of much sound and fury. The more genteel residents of the lllain Hall were constantly at swords points with the Dead End Kids from West Hall. As the days rolled on, the raids became in- creasingly daring and in desperation, the lNIain Hall brethren convened to elect a mayor and to organize generally for defense. Lew Bartlett won the dubious honor of mayorship, but the organization succumbing to internal corruption, was shortlived and guerrilla warfare con- tinued. The rest of the school redoubled their efforts to imbue us with a sense of the finer things in life, but we repulsed all such attempts and went on in our hap- pily uncultured way. Class elections came up and there was intense cam- BoNzo BIG paigning, with the Bonzo Beach element ranging from speech-making to sadism in an all-out effort to elect their man. The elections were carried out in the Study under the supervision of Pater and, at the last moment, Bartlett nosed out Bonzo, and assumed the Herculean task of keeping the Second Form room in order. The football season got under way, and the majority of Second Form talent was concentrated on the Midgets. The work went on steadily and the Second Form, though still vigorously individual- istic, began to fit into the scheme of things. The Sixth Form, lead by the pre- fects, redoubled their efforts in our be- half and several times a week the nightly revelry in Study Hall was interrupted by the terrifying entrance of one or more of the prefects. There has never been and there never will be five more awe-inspir- ing individuals than those prefects. A single glance from them was sufficient to send the boldest brat', into paroxysms of fear. Second only to the Sixth Form in their kindly interest in us, was the Third Form. This group toiled diligently to impart in us a sense of their im- portance. One member, Johnny Lotti- mer, was so fascinated by us that he came as a missionary into our ranks. Idle talk about something called in- dicatorsu came to our ears around the middle of October, but we blithely ig- nored it. They came, and went swiftly, leaving us all a little shaken. WVith the Buooicm Tnr HA r DAVE SANDY bouyancy of youth we soon recovered and went on doing more or less as we were told, and gaining every day in self- importance. We cheered lustily at all football games, got frightfully in the way at the sidelines, and in general had a wonderful time. The Taft game was the big event of the season, and for many reasons will be long engraved on the memory of the Class of 42. Not the least of these reasons is Timmy Syming- ton. Timmy indulged rather heavily in the delights of Lady Nicotine through the dubious medium of Bull Durham and a corncob. This, coupled with quantities of cider, peanuts, Coca Cola and other delicacies, would be enough to fell the strongest. Timmy, though far from the strongest, controlled himself admirably until the bus got back to school. He was the first to leave the bus, and when the rest of the form trooped wearily up the lVIain Building stairs, it was immediately evident that someone had been des- perately ill. In the midst of much com- ment Timmy appeared, distinct traces of violent nausea still clinging to glasses and chin, vehemently denying any con- nection with the outrage and asking in loud tones who the sissy was that couldnlt take it. The Choate game threw us into an- other fever. The game itself was heart- breaking, but the incumbent excitement compensated for it. After the Choate game, it was time to think of term exams and to start study- NIGGER Bixvx ing. Most of us, however, found vacation a more fascinating topic for thought. lt was a period of unrest in the Matin Building, with a great deal of bed-setting, pillow-lighting, and general roughhouse. It was the time when water bombs be- came the fad, and the old place was a welter of wet towels and puddles. This frenzy lasted almost a week until some perverted brain made a large bomb of Zonite and heaved it into Wfood and VVaters, room where it took the color out of every object it touched. The law stepped in at this point and bombs be- came a thing of the past. The exams, with all their incumbent horror, came and went. Clean-up and packing followed. It was a very weary little band of Second Formers who raised their shrill voices in the old familiar Xmas carols that last evening. After a night almost completely devoid of sleep. we hied ourselves away for the three long awaited weeks. The return to Kent in January was made in a good rousing snowstorm which did little to heighten the gaiety of the affair. Through the fog and filthy airu could be seen glowing dimly a beau- tiful array of Christmas ties, and just above these, glowing a bit more dimly, were the faces of their owners, each wrap- ped in blissful retrospect. Bill Curran was elected our president and worked hard for order in the Study Hall. However, it is feared that the com- bined Southern charm of his two room- mates, Judkins and Rowland, was too much for Bill, and the term was a bit rocky. The bitter winter weather brought out the hockey talent in the form and Barry VVood, Sam Rowland, Larry Harris, Bill Emperor,' Tilghman, and Don Nielsen ruled the rink. Right behind this spark- ling group came Bill Bacon who, by actual records, bought and sold the same goalie equipment no less than five times, each time at a considerable loss. Skiing was still in embryonic state and claimed few devotees from our ranks. Basketball won over quite a few of the boys, who each afternoon disappeared inside the gloomy portals of the Sports building only to reappear, damp and exhausted, several hours later. VVhether or not any of them ever touched a basketball is to this day an unanswered question. Bad weather near the end of the term curtailed outdoor activity and we were forced to expend our excess energy within the frail walls of the Blain Building. Brawling and strife were the order of the day, and no eye-witness will ever forget the Dickson vs. Dorathy set-to. Dorathy swore in Spanish for a full five minutes without repeating himself while the rest of us, still experimenting timidly with Anglo-Saxon, stood with gaping mouths. Slugger Don, who was no slouch along that line himself, sounded pitifully in- effectual with his well-chosen epithets. VVest Hall continued to be a scene of riotous confusion with Larry Harris using a bayonet so effectively that Schef- , v l D1 no Dinrx Doix EIJIM 1-as-iiffassgiifsi,r,.s,,5.vf.-mifigffgvslgsgsgsi...fsmffaew-2fssessw Qbksgisggajg f3g5,q.sK'feSe53fvefisxs1rl'-1s5S'-0 sgsef.

This could not go on forever though, and soon Spring Vacation hove into sight, its approach unmarred by any term exams. Once the ordeal of clean-up and packing was over, we were again on our merry way. Three weeks can pass very quickly at certain times of the year, and it was not long before we were reunited under Algo's mighty bulk, prepared for what we had been assured was the best term of the school year. Disappointingly, the Valley land of Kent showed no signs of the Vernal touch. In fact, great patches of rather dead snow dotted the rugged countryside, and the lovely Florida tans disappeared beneath layers of winter clothes. The annual Spring campaign between crew and the other existing sports began and Connie Tyng was heard bellowing that, 'fYou have to go out for crew, it's your dutyli' This was all pretty convinc- ing to a baffled group of Second Formers and the first day of practice found a large number of us shivering on the dock. Ten- nis and baseball claimed the remainder of us, and with the return of warm weather, a busy, happy term was under way. Larry Harris put aside his bayonet and was elected president. His methods, though far from subtle, were effective, and Study Hall, in spite of the concen- trated efforts of Don Harris, Bill Fewell and Fitzgerald was peaceful. L K ,pf 1 ..

Georgie Neff and Max Elser tried desperately to whip up interest in a gambling syndicate, but it was a premature movement. Bonzo Beach, of muskrat fame, had torn him- self away from his furry friends, and thrown all six feet of himself whole- heartedly into crew. Bailey, freed from the rigors of a Southern military school, was relaxing all over the place telling de- lightful tales of dusky maidens he had encountered at the Mardi Gras. Pete Allsopp could be seen any warm after- noon flexing both of his muscles down at the boathouse. Dave Calhoun, tough- ened by months of rooming with Jim de Ganahl, proved to be another enthu- siastic 03.I'S1TlH,I1. That precious pair Big- low and Bunzel, attired in the latest model tennis shorts, added a certain touch to the Connecticut woodland. Biggy, after one week of frenzied piety, during which he had visions and decided to join the Order, had suffered a relapse and renewed a long-standing interest in the opposite sex. Final Examinations, more hideous than any we had before encountered, swept down on us like the plague, and it was with shaking hands that many of us packed. Prize Day was a whirl of excite- ment and after an afternoon of fighting off the assaults of the Third Form on our trays of ice cream, we were ready for the last night's sleep of our first year at Kent. BLALK Bill FITZ GIL W' - winam- vVl16H we met again the following Sep- tember as Third Formers, the old boys did their best to appear superior to the twenty odd new members. After a very smug, self-satisfied week, our resistance began to weaken, and we soon found our- selves thoroughly intermingled. Elections for our president were held in the Study, and in spite of Sammy ,ltowland's ardent campaigning for Sammy Rowland, Larry Harris was the formys choice. Ed VVarfield held us spellbound, as with glowing eyes he described the intri- cacies of a Caterpillar tracto1', just as John Milnor held us spellbound with a description of the intricacies of the Southern belle. VVilly Sharp and Jay Milnor were rather loquacious on the baseball subject, and if you wanted to know anything about sailingfVVags Wlieelei' was always ready with the lat- est. Brad Locke just told us to wait until hockey season. And from Toad Henson we heard of the five-mile stretch of gin- mills which graced Flowertown, Pa. Sandy Stumpf's soothing soprano could, and did, tell us anything and everything about life. Toledo's gift to Kent, Brown and Rorick, made us feel awfully foolish for having lived in the East all our lives. lcky Emanuel and Dave Green added aviation and culture respectively to our little group. All in all, the Class of ,42 garnered in a rich harvest in Third Form year. Football became the main topic of conversation, and we cheered Beebe Lyon's team on hopefully at each game. PETE D inn in Pau HoNEs'r Joim LEAR DoN TOAD The term went quickly and it was again time to think about exams. Again the ugly thought was put aside until the last possible moment, and again we Hound- ered and struggled, cursing ourselves and the fiends who made out the exams with equal fervor. Throughout his life at Kent, the sen- timent of Turk YVheeler has never ceased to hold the wondering admiration of his classmates. The former habitants of the third form Dining Hall dormitory still tell how Turk, sensing Yuletide spirit, seized his axe and Tommy VValker, his rather more worldly roommate, and headed stout-heartedly for the pine groves of misty Algo. The two returned laden with many young trees of an ever- green variety which Turk proceeded to arrange tastefully about the dorm. The courageous manner in which Turk asked our inspector, XVhere is your Christmas spiritfi' when that worthy, raging and contemptuous, vetoed the decoration, has been remembered as the gallant outburst of the noble rebel. Vacation slipped by, in its usual alarm- ing fashion, and the VVinter term was again running its blustery course. The Third Form hockey team snagged the trophy after a spotless season. Bull Pulford wiggled into the heart of Bish Colmore, and basketball carried on, helped by the advent of Bill Nimick, John Milnor and Toledo. The North Dorm, center of Third Form social activities, was transformed during the slushy February days into a sort of hlonte Carlo with feverish games of chance going on behind barred doors. Leader of this fascinating extra-curricu- lar activity was Fat Don Symington, sportsman extraordinary. After a few weeks of this exciting venture into the gay life, the voice of authority was raised and the still warm dice were tucked safely behind socks in the owneris bureau. Another happy remembrance of the Dining Hall dormitories was the asso- ciation which many of us enjoyed with an individual, who left our ranks at the close of that year, and who answered to the decidedly deserved moniker of Sleepy Joe Chlorpheusj Daniels. This Sleepy Joe commenced his life at Kent laboring under a twofold misfortune. First, he was of a retiring and lassi- tudinous turn of mind, and second, he was a scientist. Boasting this tendency towards scientific thinking While room- ing with genial, popular and critical Daisy W7arfield augmented considerably the retiring side of his make-up. As a matter of fact what with one thing and another, Sleepy Joe finally became so re- tiring that he blocked his bed into his corner by means of a series of bureaus and hanging blankets in such a manner that the only way in which he was able to reach his darkened cot was to crawl under a chest of drawers. He did crawl through this opening and would sit in tenebrious solitude and concoct what Nose DUTCH HUB INCH Poi Dougie Duer refered to as voodoo and Dave Green as necromancy. Spring Vacation came and went like a zephyr, leaving only wistful memories. Sports began and we succeeded in getting one member, Bartlett, as far the Second baseball team. For the rest of us there remained plenty to do, and the form was well split up among the three Spring sports. The weeks dribbled by and the term soon coasted into eXam week. These hazards safely past, we found ourselves heaving chairs around for the Prize Day exercises. In the evening we were swiftly elevated to the dazzling position of Fourth Formers and went to bed feeling perceptibly older. As we left in the morn- ing for the summer, it was as well- rounded men of the world. A summer during which We realized that there still remained a good bit of rounding to be done, passed quickly. Filled with the joie de vivreu, we re- turned to the hallowed halls of learning prepared for a year of fun and perhaps a little studying. Once again our ranks had been augmented, and we found that Toledo had contributed again-this time in the shape of one Lud Ashley, who be- gan a pungent career by getting lost at the VVorld's Fair and arriving late. SplashH Newcomb and John NVells Qimmediately re-christened Orsonl also blended their personalities into our ranks, while Ted Maude added potential beef for football teams. Carl Hubbell re- turned to the fold after a year's sojourn in Hawaii. The fall of our Fourth Form year found us participating to a greater ex- tent in the various activities of the school. VVe were pleasantly surprised to find that Ashley really could play football and had made the First Team. The Second Team boasted several of our members and the Juniors were swarming with them. The serenity of the term was shattered when Don Harris, the self-styled South- ern heartbreaker, received a letter from one of his conquests threatening im- mediate suicide unless Don married her. Don, hysterical with grief, was heard moaning and tossing all through the night. hlorning brought the return of reason, however, and the damage was repaired in due time. Brief though the spasm was, it aged us all immeasurably. Things moved fast that Fall, with everyone eagerly awaiting the comple- tion of the new Library Building. The Fourth Form was scattered all around the school and it was practically impos- sible to turn down a hall, no Inatter how dark and dreary, without bumping into a little group of them. The top floor of the Dining Hall housed a large number and it was here that the Kent Gestapo, or- ganized and lead by Nick Reid and loudly seconded by Scrime Herkert, operated. Besides being subjected to this, we were inspected daily by Pete VVare and Dick Mittnaclit who had lived in the Dormitory their Third Form year and knew how it should be arranged. They were ignored, however, and we went our messy way, stumbling happily against beds and bureaus, and only smiling a bit grimly when the closet collapsed. Fourth Form year brought among other things, a new and extremely po- tent form consciousness engendered by the classis representation in the Council. This jingoistic spirit was injected into us by our Pan-American president, Bull Pulford, whose rasping voice was wont to herald a form meeting at almost any hour. His favorite time was toward the end of night study hall, at approximately 8:Q7. After having vocally whipped us into silence during the first forty-five minutes of the period, he would shatter our final fifteen minutes of study with a booming, Give me your attention for a few minutesf, and then would com- mence a lengthy harangue on the gen- eral seediness of the form, and inevi- tably ending up with the soothing thought that our actions really werenit so bad, but they created a lousy im- pressionfy This last commentary we grew to know very well. VVith so much to do and even more to think about, the term passed quickly and we again turned our faces homeward. The Winter Term was a great success, with a vast number of Fourth Formers giving their all for Mr. Parkis undefeated Second Hockey team. Shuman contin- ued to suffer heartbreaking set-backs at the hands of his tormentorsg Bull Pul- ford and Bob Morton inflicted horrible damages on their opponents in the wrestling ring and in general things were much the same as before. We had taken over the better part of the new Library Building and were rapidly imbuing it with our own brand of homelike atmos- phere. Secure 'gainst every stormy wind , we lived an easy, sheltered life. VVe entered the Spring of our Fourth Form Year. Bill Curran and Johnny Lottimer were on the First Crew, and the tennis and baseball squads fairly frothed with Fourth Formers. The smooth voice of Dougie Duer and the not-so-smooth voice of Sandy Stumpf, urged our Form crews down the crystal- clear Housatonic. Bernie Ryan amazed everyone by capturing a live rattlesnake under a megaphone. And we had thought him the shy, retiring type! Pop Huntington had deserted the river for the tennis courts, and Marse Pratt wasn't quite sure just which sport he was going to bless. The Sixth Form had its long-awaited dance and never before had we felt so little as that night. VVith longing eyes we watched the gorgeously attired Sixth Form whip even more gorgeously attired partners around the floor. More serious matters claimed our at- tention, however, and we mulled over the problem of Council Members. Pul- ford, Wood and Curran emerged after much discussion and proved to be a wise choice. The outstanding political faux pas resulting from an entrance into school- wide affairs was the election in the spring BRAD MAC BIG TED Gnom A1 term wherein Larry Harris talked his way out of a position and paved the way for the astute Bill Curran. Larry, in a frenzy of last minute electioneering, took for the topic of his speech the obvious division of the form into two factions. To designate these two factions further would be superfluous: it suffices to say that good and evil were the conflicting elements. Larry, commendably enough, spoke what was his heart, but his unfor- tunate choice of the term us guys and you guys failed to strike the right note. It was too great a challenge for the criminal element to resist, and the more tactful Bill Curran was swept into office. Although it appeared at the time to be an irreparable blow to the unity of the form, it has proved since to have been a great step toward better understand- ing. Free nights found the bulk of us searching about in the warm Spring air, our minds having turned rather heavily to thoughts of love. It was all quite futile but someone had seen a girl on our side of the bridge in 1927 and we werenit taking any chances of missing out. Prize Day came after a brisk week of exams, and with it the ceremony which proclaimed us Fifth Formers. Fifth Formers! How delightfully ancient it sounded. We would certainly show this school something next year. The following Fall found us together again ready for what was to prove a rather spectacular year. Besides our regular quota, we were thrice blessed with new blood. Nuland of South Africa came to stay for a year, Jeff Robinson, whom we fondly hoped to be the last of Toledo's contributions, arrived for an in- definite period, and, most colorful of all, Flog Ogden, bon vivant of the scalier side of Wfashington society. Doing our bit by folding the News be- came a rather tedious affair, for it soon grew into a habit with our form. The more conscientious members of the class, who strove diligently to impart to us a feeling of pride and distinction in the services we were rendering the school, were both outnumbered and scorned by the less-inspired individuals. Their valiant attempts to curtail our de- partures through the windows were ex- tremely reminiscent of many Marx Bros. pictures, especially when they rushed about madly and hurdled desks some- what in the fashion of our modern jeeps. The following year we were ele- vated a flight to the Fifth Form room. Bill Curran, savant extraordinary, showed keen foresight when he advised no one to leave by the windowsgor they would receive several hours. For some time Our Bill was the target of much laughter, but we in turn were made to jump when we saw a figure nonchalantly disappear through a window. Football brought to the fore a great gob of Fifth Formers who played no small part in the success of the season. Scholastically the Form retained its good standing with a large group over 80. Hale ably represented the class in the Dramatic Club and Stan Gillespie cov- ered himself with glory by cleaning up in DICK SNOOKS JUNGLE BUNNY ANGEL .lor Bu L EYE Fiioo the Ti1ne Current Events test. An excit- ing, if disappointing, Choate game wound up a fine football year, and we again looked to our Christmas holidays. The VVinter Term pulled in right on schedule and turned out to be a very busy one. Besides the well known winter sports, hockey, basketball and wrestling, the Fifth Form busied itself with carry- ing clothes and bedding from their Din- ing Hall rooms to the far Hung corners of the school. These were the refugees from the plague which was sweeping the school and which had converted their living quarters into a sick ward. Every day there could be seen a little proces- sion of bureaus and mattresses, motiva- ted by a Fifth Former, struggling along the icy walks. There was no sign of com- plaint or bitterness on their weary faces, only a blank, hopeful stare slightly remi- niscent of those lovable characters in The Grapes of 'Wrath',. It will be hard to forget Inch Hunter staggering under a chest of drawers with his gigantic room- mate Bill Downing, bringing up the rear with a couple of pillows. VVe will always remember asking Reefer John Hanford in First Period if he had had a cigarette today and hearing John, with a wounded look on his face say, Gee, not since breakfastu. This was the term when Pete Gilsey decided he wanted to develop the body Beautiful and, in order to speed up the process, took both Joe Bonomofs and Charles Atlas' courses at the same time. Tian MAME BUCK VVhat with the usual succession of little joys and sorrows, the term soon expired and we left for our last vacation as Fifth Formers. With the advent of the Spring Term came the tantalizing knowledge that we, the here-to-fore lowly Class of 42, were soon to take command of the school. The ominous phrase, 'fJust wait until lNTay 1st', was sufficient to hold the more playful of the lower formers in check. Our VVednesday night meetings with Father Chalmers became more business- like as he explained to us the part we were to play as Sixth Formers. The momentous day on which we were to paint the rock arrived, and proved to be a beautiful one. The class of 42, garbed in rags which would have shamed Jeeter Lester, struggled up the side of the mountain and commenced to paint. The work, though well interspersed with messy horseplay. went well, and it was with great delight that we saw our numerals taking shape. There were numerous battles, and for a while it seemed doubtful if there would be enough paint left to finish the rock. The wiser heads prevailed however, the job was completed, and a tired and filthy Fifth Form crept down to school, That night the long awaited sov- ereignty of the school was bestowed upon us. Barry WVood was thrust into the head prefect,s chair, followed by Bill Curran and Jim deGanahl. Tusky VVaters was made sub-prefect, and after NICK JEFF ROCKY BEIINIE OB the rest of the school had left, we elected Larry Harris Sixth Form council member. The next morning found us heads of tables and inspecting jobs with self- conscious severity. After a month of this we felt quite at ease and looked forward to a whole year of authority. The spring sports were fairly successful and our form established itself firmly on the various teams. Johnny Hanford de- cided coxing was easier on his wind than rowing and put aside his oar after two days. Marv Rorick used to take his ten- nis racquet to baseball practice every afternoon, and usually got in a couple of sets before they missed him on the dia- mond. The second fifth form crew, locally known as Larry's Lost Legion, was forced to go mountain climbing to get its quota of exercise. It was a peaceful term and the school continued to hold together under our leadership. Exams came and went, their terror somewhat lessened by the famil- iarity of four years' acquaintance. Prize Day arrived and we watched a bit impatiently, eager for the ceremony which would elevate us to the Sixth Form. lt came with disconcertingly lit- tle fanfare and only our own pride testi- fied to the importance of the occasion. The future looked fairly good to the class of UM as we scattered the following morning for our summer Vacation. The loss of Bull Pulford was a thing we all regretted deeply, but we could not be- grudge the Brazilian army his presence. His four years with us had been good ones and we were only sorry that he could not share in the fruits of Sixth Form year with us. We returned two days early in Sep- tember to whip the school into shape for the opening of the 36th year. Happy in the knowledge of our ascendency over the bulk of the student body, and filled with delightful memories of the past summer, we accomplished a good bit of work. Pater's furniture was moved into his new apartment in the Library Build- ing, trunks were shunted into the proper rooms, and a dozen other odd jobs were finished up. The opening of school was marked again by a great influx of frightened new boys. It was the members of 3492 who took the baffled youngsters by the hand, soothed sobbing parents, and generally got everything settled. The worm had turned. The fall term was off, and as Sixth Formers we began to appreciate more than ever the mass of little problems and details confronting those in authority. VVe plunged into our work, found it over- whelming, and gradually formed sched- ules calculated to get us to bed before midnight. VVe took to the study almost every evening and with the advent of a radio- phonograph combination, installed by Phil Hale, many of the idle hours were whirled away. The playing of the songs of the past summer brought pangs of EcxHBlil reminiscing to the boys, who groaned audibly at the first strains of their favorite song. VVhen Ashley and Scheffy, roommates of the share and share alike school, who seemed to have spent the last week of the summer in close contact with the same girl, got to- gether, the din was terrific. It was to the study that Bonzo Beach and Ted Perry brought the spoils of their diligent re- searches, great glittering heaps of Baby Ruths, Aspirins, and other small matter likely to corrupt the student body. It was here enveloped in the well-nigh choking fumes of Prince Albert, that the Sixth Form completed its important job of unification. VVe found that something new had been added to our ranks during the sum- mer in the shape of two more members. One, Bob Todd, was filling in the role of the usual English guest scholar, and the other, ChickenH VViggins was fresh from Texas. The establishment of Benny Davis as the campus character took place in the early days of the term as Benny, garbed in battered pork pies, plaid waist-coats, and other accoutre- ments of an age long dead, defied every existing convention. Dougie Duer and Gosh lVIacdonald formed a general utility squad all by themselves and spent long afternoons chopping down obtrusive trees. Dutch Holland and Nick Reid assailed us with candid cameras, insisting on the most inane poses for the informals. Doc Walker, revealing a morbid state of mind, insisted on keeping a large and hideous human skull on his SCHEFF SYF desk for the dual purposes of repelling visitors and stimulating thought. We sneered at the aristocratic trio of Barry Wood, Toad Henson and Tusk VVaters, living in their opulent suite, with obvious envy in our eyes. We applauded the majectic efforts of the headwaiters to maintain order in the Dining Hall, and we winced at the even more majestic efforts of Ick Emmanuel and Phil Hale to produce Yes Indeed from the very tired orchestra. The Dramatic Club production that fall brought out hidden talents as Gil Awalt displayed unparalleled electrical genius, and Bob Sandoe played a femi- nine lead which drove the boys wild. VVe were surprised to find that, in spite of increased age, duties and responsibili- ties, the Class of '42 remained pretty much unchanged. Sandy Campbell con- tinued to amaze Cap Harrington with his brilliance in two languages, Pete Gilsey continued his body-building exercises, Toledo continued to boost Toledog and John Hanford continued to-well, to be just John. The Fall Term drew slowly to a close and we realized how much more studying we might have done. Exams approached, more deadly than any we had before en- countered and we fought our way through to vacation. The remorseless cold of the New England VVinter which assaulted from the moment of our arrival, and stuck leech-like throughout the two months of the term, brought severe limitations, if not actual hardships. to the Sixth SANDY WARD Tn LY ' KH 7 ...arg A .. , .1,-- 3 ' .

The far too rapid evolution from perfume-scented warmth of vacation days into the bitter winds of the Housa- tonic Valley proved too much for many of the Form. The form hockey team in particular, led by the alcoholic Marse Pratt, found itself unable to stand the pace. In their initial game, the gasping, half-frozen party boys were slaughtered by the clean-living Third Formers. With weather too cold to allow the open- ing of windows, social activities along the Sixth Form Hallway were sadly cur- tailed. The Neff, Dickson, Siefke, and Green Outing Club was forced indoors after one or two cases of severe frost bite. The term had barely swung on its fruitful way when DumpyU Bob Todd, rotund guest scholar acquired two brand new names. One of these sprung from the lower forms and seemed to be a more or less descriptive affaire The Hot- bread with legsu. The origin of the other new nick-name of our corpulent class- mate sprang from the very bosom of the class, namely the fertile brain of Jay Milner. It seems that this same worthy sacristan, seeking clan amusement one evening in that sanctum of the Sixth, the Study, fell into conversation with Dumpy Bob and during the course of the evening, conversational subjects came and went, but Dumpy Bob always re- mained with him. A lesser man than Jay might have found such persistence mildly annoying, but this mighty mind, instead founded the game of Yo-Yo, which since has become the beloved in- door occupation of our sportsmen. It consisted of engaging Bob in conver- sation, and attempting to run up a score in luring him, infatuated by his own con- versation through a record number of rooms. Because the game of Yo-Y,o consists of transforming amicable young Mr. Todd into one of those so named baubles of childhood, the name of Yo-Yo was formally bestowed on our new com- rade. With the advent of 6iWar Time , the curse of darkness was added to our early morning misery. The Sixth Form, un- prepared for the exigencies arising from the change went to bed at their usual midnight hour. The following morning the rising bell tolled in pitch blackness and failed to evoke more than a pro- testing moan from the slumbering Sixth Formers. The nfivei' brought us to our feet, and we stared unbelievingly at the icy blackness of our rooms. The stout souls from the North Dorm did some of their finest sprinting that morning but found themselves helpless without flash- lights. Groggy but game, we vowed then and there to finesse that last noc- turnal hour of studying in order to keep fit for War Time. The day by day condition of the ice on the rinks furnished us with lots to talk about, with the more rugged members of the class bellowing a prayer of thanks- giving at each thaw. The skiers, namely Don Harris, Pete Ware and Slugger Dickson, found time for many other in- teresting activities because of the rain which came hard upon the heels of every snow fall. Tnsxx ORSON WAGGs CHICKEN BULL if 5 3. Y oi o CoNNr1s Aided by the psycholbgical, if not tl1e medicinal, effect of the new vitamin pills, and with years df experience he- hind us, the Sixth Forfn sent few dele- gates to the Infirmarhf. We were a tougher breed of men than those forty odd starvlings who sneezed and coughed their way through the rigors of the VVinter Term of '38. The finish of our time at Kent is draw- ing near. It is only now that we can be- gin to realize the swiftness with which five years pass. VVe have, in these five years, seen many physical changes about the school. Greater than any of these, however, has been the change within ourselves, as individuals and as a form, during this period. The brawling, dis- jointed Second Form of 1937 has, under the influence of Kent, and in particular of Pater and Father Chalmers, under- gone a metamorphosis. We can now say with pride and conviction that the Class of ,42 leaves Kent as a unified body. We have had our troubles and we have made our mistakes, but those have been inci- dental to the bulk of our life here. VVe are going out into a world full of hatred and treachery. Into this world we will carry all that has been instilled in us during our years at Kent. Perhaps it will be some time before the full signifi- cance of our years here becomes mani- fest. Perhaps we must wait for a fuller appreciation of the principles we have been taught. That is not important, it is sufficient to know that no matter ToM T Urri' DAISY where we go or what we are asked to do, we will always have these years a background. VVe are going to be fortified with an endless stock of memories too, memories of the little, often ridiculous, things which are so much a part of school life. It is impossible to predict at this time just what incidents in our five years here will form a permanent part of our mem- ories. In the years ahead, there will be recalled to our minds with fresh poig- nance countless trivial happenings. VVe will remember remarks that have been made and the situations surrounding them. Our perspective will change with the years, we shall learn to relegate the stupid and the worthwhile, we shall be able to evaluate for ourselves each phase of Kent life. VVe shall understand what has been the purpose of the type of life we have lived at Kent, and appreciate what we have sometimes scorned. The mad, carefree days in the old lNIain Building, the more sedate rioting in the North Dorm, the sudden sophisti- cation of Fourth Form year, and the im- patience of Fifth Form year are over. We are on the home stretch, and sud- denly it isnlt as much fun as we had al- ways thought it would be. Every one of these last five years has brought its in- dividual joys and sorrows, its triumphs and defeats. These will live as long as we do, to be relived whenever and wherever two or more of the Class of ,42 are thrown together.

For four riod, all manner of predictions were Class of '42 years previous to this pe made as to what the result would be when the took over. Wlell, here is the story of our senior year done up ion. The more conserva in a package of photographs and narrat ' 1- tive of those predictions have been realized. As for the re- mainder, . . . Well, you be the judge. The 1941 Crew Season N looking over the 1941 crew season as a whole, two things are most evident. The form of the first and second boats was excellent as to smoothness and rhythm, but both crews lacked a punch in their stroke that was needed in the more trying encounters. The first crew began the season with its most difHcult race, losing to the Princeton freshmen by three lengths. In the second race, Kent lost a hard-fought struggle to the Second Yale Freshmen, but, in the third regatta, with the Second M. I. T. Fresh- men, the school crew came through with a handy win of four lengths. A week later, the crew lost a disappointing race to Browne and Nichols, but finished up the season with a victory over its arch- foe, Tabor. The winter sports were hardly over, late in the winter term, when Coach Totem Walker had chosen from fifth and sixth form candidates a provisional first and second crew for workouts on PRACTICE the machines. The first crew was built around the nucleus of returning letter- men, but the boatings were changed somewhat later on. On the machines, the first boat was made up of Captain Ashmun at stroke, Ellis at seven, Burn- ham at six, Cleveland at five, Curran at four, Campbell at t.hree, Parke at two, and Cross at bow. After spring vacation, the crew work- outs were again underway, in a river clogged with ice and floating obstruc- tions. Coach VValker quickly whipped the crews into fine form, in spite of the colds and blisters of early practice. The boating of the crew was slightly re- vamped, with VVaters taking the place of Parke at two. On April 26, the crew journeyed to Lake Carnegie to take part in a regatta with the Princeton Freshmen. The Lawrenceville and Hun School crews also raced each other later in the after- noon. In a well-rowed race, Kent lost ON 'rim RIVER THE FI RST CREW lioflvll ffllIIl'I.l'IlIIlIlj, Wrnss, Purlr, CIIIIIIJIJKII, l'lr'vzfIfn1fl, D0l',B'lI7'7l1ZllIl7, Ellis, .flshmun fapiain Uouclz IVIIMYYI' K11vz'l1'l1g: S nl all CC'o,1's wa ful by three l6l1glQl1S to the larger and heavier Princeton Freshmen, but Kentls time was better than that of either of the two other preparatory school crews racing that day. The crew exhibited good form and timing, but the freshmen proved too strong. The Princeton time was 5:96, very good for still water. The next regatta, May third, at Kent, was with the Second Yale Freshmen, and the Freshmen 150's, many of whom were Kent alumni. The races were rather disappointing, both the first and second crews being nosed out by their more ex- perienced rivals. The first crew lost by one and one-half lengths, while the second boat, with substitutions due to illness and injury, lost by one length. When the crews met M. T. T. a week later, however, they showed fine form and power in an easy win. The first crew, with Parke and Doe taking the places of Curran and VVaters, had be- come entirely a sixth form crew. The races were rowed well, and the school crew defeated the Second M. I. T. Fresh- men by the wide margin of four lengths. The second crew made a very good show- ing, winning a hard-fought race against the Freshmen 150,s in only two seconds over the good first crew time of 5:02. An interesting note in this regatta is that the second crew's rivals made a better time than the first crew,s rivals. After the M. I. T. contest the first crew began to prepare for the highly- touted Browne and Nichols crew, which had beaten Tabor easily on the Charles. That Saturday, in very humid late- spring weather, the race between the two crews was won by Browne and Nichols, after a false start, in which one of the Browne and Nichols men caught a crab. Another event took place in the course CAPTAIN CURRAN of the afternoon, a race between tl1e fifth form crew and the La Salle Military Academy. Because of the inexperience of the La Salle crew, the form crews had battled among themselves for the honor of taking part in the race, and the fifth form crew had won the competition. They proved far superior to the visitors, however, and won by at least six lengths. Then, after two weeks of especially hard practice, the first and second crews left for Tabor. They arrived there ness. The two coaches looked about for a smoother course, and fixed upon a pond in the vicinity, whose course was consid- erably less than a mile long. The second crew raced first, understroking their op- ponents and following them all the way down the course, not realizing that the shortness of the course warranted a faster stroke. They gained rapidly on Tabor near the finish, but failed to do so in time, losing by less than a deck-length. The first crew, which raced the Tabor first crew in the following race, profited by the error of the second crew, keeping the stroke very high, and finished three- quarters of a length in the lead. On lwonday, May twenty-sixth, the form regatta took place, followed by the Annual Crew Feed. The fifth form crew was victor in the interclass competition, not having been beaten once during the many spring contests. The sixth form crew was an easy second. The following week, the crew banquet took place at hir. VValker,s house, where a bountiful picnic was enjoyed by the first and second crews and the managers, and where the awards were announced. the day before the race, in time to find hlarion Harbor, famed for its whitecaps, as smooth as their own Housa- tonic. They hurried the boats off the truck, and as soon as they had finished supper, went out for a practice spin on the course. The next morning, how- ever, the weather had changed completely, and lVIarion lived up to its reputation for rough- Born Bears '-w-q..pv-,glg,:p,'ffW .,,w K's were awarded to Ashmun, Ellis, Burnham, Cleveland, Doe, Parke, Camp- bell, Cross, Small, Seymour, Turner, Tapscott, and Li. They were also given to Chairman Rebhann, Manager Bodell, and Launch-Driver Doc VValker. K's with crossed oars were awarded to Captain-elect Curran, VVaters, Pulford, Tyng, and Smyth. Ryan and Mac- Donald were selected as Chairman and Nlanager for the coming year, and Duer was appointed Launch-lilanager. The Crew season, although it does not officially open until the spring term, nevertheless is embarked upon at the close of the winter athletic events. The potential members of the different form crews, along with those competing for positions on the first and second boats, commence practice at this early date on the machines. At half hour intervals SECOND CREW throughout the afternoon, the represen- tatives of the different forms gather in the basement of the Main Building for a strenous workout. It is here that many of the smaller kinks are done away with, and a great deal of valuable time is there- by saved for practice on the river at the opening of the spring term. Too much cannot be said of the untir- ing efforts of Coach Tote Walker. His lasting patience has won him a memor- able place in the minds of all the fellows who have been privileged to Work under him. From the opening day right CHAIRMAN RYAN LAUNCH MGR. Dunn MGR.

The biggest success was the capturing of first place in the Connecticut Inter- scholastic Baseball League by Coach Bill Nadalis squad. It was the first time in the history of the School that any Kent team had won the League championship. Furthermore, the 1941 team succeeded in defeating Choate for the first time in more than a decade, sinking the Walling- ford squad in two contests. CAPTAIN MILNOR It was early in April that practice be- gan on the Miclget field. After early kinks had been removed and the squad cut to workable size, serious practice started on the main field. YVith the re- turn of Captain Fuzz', Foster, .Lam- bert, Bassett, Howe, Morrisey, and Bartlett,a prosperous season was in view. From last year's second team came Cob- den, Deyoe, and Milnor to fill the re- maining positions. In comparison with other years, this yearis squad was small, numbering only 13 fellows, the remaining three being VVillie Sharp, erstwhile third base coach, Marv Rorick, sub first base- man, and Moose Coste, jockey and sub third baseman. With this unlucky num- ber of players on the roster, the Kent team embarked on the 1941 baseball season. The opening game was with the Gun- nery nine on their home grounds at VVashington. Unfortunately for Kent, the Gunnery starting pitcher was in top form and held our hitters to three scat- tered singles, winning 6-2. Jerry Howe, pit ching for the losers, was charged with the loss, his only one during the entire season. However, it was his first start in prep school ball and he did well to limit the victors to six runs. THE FIRST BASEBALL SQVAIJ ill lfow: f'ouf'h Nadal. Vosiv, V. Dvyorf, J. illflnor.

The game turned out to be the biggest slugfest of the season with the visitors on the long end of a 15-11 score. Chuck Deyoe pitched for Kent, and although there were times when it appeared as if relief would be needed. he had enough to carry through ahead of the Taft batters. Fortunately for Taft, this was not a League game and they were not too downcast by the defeat. On the following VVednesday, Hotch- kiss arrived at Kent to play another non League game. Jerry Howe made his second start, and this time he turned in a smart six-hitter for his first win. The highlight of the contest came in the sec- ond inning when Nlorrisey smashed a line drive home run into the left field corner. ln the eighth inning. Foster made the complete circuit of the bases after reach- ing first, on consecutive steals, the climax coming with a perfectly executed hook slide into home plate. But now two men reached the sacks and the stage was set. Captain Foster strode to the plate. Bierwirth fired one pitch and Foster slapped it over the left fielder's head for a circuit smash, putting Kent on even terms with the home team. f VVith this blow, Kent seemed to gain much needed confidence and as a result the fielding became flawless. Both teams scored in the eighth, knotting the count at four all. The CHAIRMAN AW.-XLT ninth inning would tell the story. Kent was at bat. Miliior, first up, drew a base on balls. A wild pitch sent him to second and Bartlettls infield out advanced him to third. Bassett, the next hitter was given the sign for a squeeze play. As he laid down a perfect hunt, Nlilnor crossed the plate standing up with what was to be the winning marker. Deyoe shut Hotchkiss out in their half of the ninth, and with the final out Kent's dream was a reality. Captain Foster and his team became the first nine in Kent history to capture the League title. With the pressure now re- moved, Kent travelled to VVallingford for their final game of the season to try to snatch a second victory from Choate. Jerry Howe, who had won four games previ- ous to this start, was the winning pitcher. The visit- ing nine took this second game to the tune of 8-3. Bartlett made three singles to lead the team at bat, and in the fourth, Milnor made a sliding catch in right field of a ball hit just over second hase for the play of the day. The score was nine to seven in favor of the home nine. Kent was host to the Pawling team on April 26th. The game was a pitcher's battle from the start, with Eustice of the visitors winning out over Deyoe by the score of 4-1, although the latter fanned eleven batters. Lew Bartlett made sev- eral brilliant plays, one being a tricky stop of a bounder behind first base. his throw just nipping the runner. A few timely singles could well have been used in supporting Deyoe. The team's first League game was with Loomis at VVindsor the following VVednesday. The contest was marked by home runs from the bats of both teams. Again Howe was the high light, surviv- ing the clouts of the Loomis hitters to win by the close score of 8-7. An inter- esting point was the fact that both lead off men, Deyoe for Kent and Burton for Loomis, poled homers in the first inning. Although Howe was pounded for thirteen hits, he received credit for Kent's first Fosfrna SLIDING Home League victory. So fast was the diamond that on several occasions the outfielders had a difficult time in retrieving the ball. The Kent batting order for this game was: Deyoe lf, Foster ss, Bassett cf, Lambert c, Miliior rf, Howe p, Bartlett Qb, lllorrisey 3b, Cobden lb. The only changes that Bill Nadal made during the remainder of the season were the shifting of Howe and Deyoe between the mound and left field and the replacement of lworrisey by Coste at third base during the last few games. On Sunday lllay 4th, Kent tangled with Berkshire on the home field in an- other non-league game. The reason for the holiday special was the result of Berkshire failing to appear on the previ- ous afternoon. However, this tardiness failed to dim their batting eyes and they took the contest 5-1. Again it was lack of hitting that stalled Kent rallies. Chuck Deyoe as pitcher was once more the victim of this feeble hitting. Never- theless, credit must be given to Hodges, Berkshire pitcher, for his grand job of holding the Kent forces to a single tally. On the following Weclnesday Kent played host to the Taft nine. It was the second League game for the home team. Both sides were wobbly at the start. Howe, after yielding one run on two hits in the first inning, settled down and pitched a four hit game. Ted Bassett led the Kent forces with three hits and each member of the team garnered at least one hit, except Howe. Amassing a total of twelve hits, Kent won 7-4. Once again Kent was guilty of poor fielding, com- mitting six misplays. The next stop was with Berkshire at Sheffield on May 10th for a League game. The visitors were eager to avenge their previous defeat, and they almost suc- ceeded. It was only through a ninth inning rally that the home team won out. As the game opened, Berkshire tallied four runs in their half of the first inning. It looked as if the game was going to be a slaughter, especially when Berkshire scored four more times in the next six innings. It was in the last half of the eighth inning, with the score 8-Q in favor of the home nine that Kent rallied to take the lead at 10-8. Seven timely singles were struck during the uprising, and the entire outlook of the game changed. It was in this inning that Kent hitting prowess in the pinches more successfully than at any time previous. Unfortunately, the rally went to waste, as Berkshire tallied three mustered its runs on two singles, a walk and a wild pitch, to win 11-10. Errors again played a big part in the scoring, with Chuck Deyoe the victim of his own misplay and those of five by his teammates. Westminster visited Kent next, on May 14th, for a game which also counted in the League record. Jerry Howe, in trouble only once, pitched a seven hitter winning by 7-4. Howe had a shutout until the seventh inning when the visitors scored four times. lt was in this inning that VVilliams of VVestminster blasted a tremendous homerun into right field. For Kent, Milnor and Lambert had five hits between them, which was more than half the team's total. Kent's next game was with Choate on the home field. A victory would increase the team's chances of capturing the League title. Chuck Deyoe was sent to the mound by Bill Nadal, and for seven innings he baffled the Choate batters. Meaiixxfliile, the Kent nine tallied five times in the fifth inning. In the eighth inning Choate tallied twice on a single, a walk and a clout into left field by Jor- genson. Kentis final run came in the last half of the same inning, and the final score read 6-Q. Deyoe, relieved by Howe in the ninth when Choate threatened, struck out eleven batters. Let it be said here that this Kent team, which defeated Choate for the first time since 1929, deserves a great amount of credit for breaking the VVallingford nine's string of wins. With this victory, Kentis record in League competition was four victories and one defeat. It was at this time that pressure on the squad increased, for the record of Hotch- kiss stood at four and one also, and it became more and more evident that the encounter with the Lakeville nine would decide who was to be the League cham- pion. Playing conditions were perfect. A large crowd of Kent boys travelled to Lakeville to see the engagement. Never before had Kent been as close to first place as on this day. There was notice- able evidence of tenseness among mem- bers of both teams as the game started, the Kent players being particularly nervous in the early innings. Hotchkiss, sensing this, quickly took advantage and scored three times in the third inning. Howe was on the mound for the Kent nine at the time. Two singles, two errors, and two walks gave Hotchkiss their three runs. As Bierwirth, the opposing pitcher, held Kent scoreless for five N innings, those three runs loomed larger with each succeeding out. The sixth inning finally brought action from the visitors. Up until this time Kent batters had been exceedingly jittery. With this victory, Kentis entire record stood at eight wins and four defeats. The final encounter was with the Alumni. The more experienced graduate team was vic- torious 6-3. Jerry Roscoe collected four hits for a perfect day from the offerings of lVTorrisey, who pitched for the League champions while the remainder of the team juggled their positions with one another. At the annual picnic following the final game, Jay Milnor was elected next year's Captain. Letters were awarded to Howe, Bartlett, lVIilnor, Morrisey, Coste, Deyoe, Lambert, Bassett, Cobden, Fos- ter, Barnhart, Tully and Foster. And so, with the close of the 1941 base- ball season, the hopes and promises of the early season were fulfilled. The team won its first League title, Choate had been downed twice, and a winning percentage of .667 was the team's final mark in twelve sched- uled contests. In past years, the combination of good hitting and good fielding was lacking, but this past season showed cooperation from both departments. The pitch- ing was excellent, and we anticipate further success in this line next year. Certainly Kent may be proud of the 1941 baseball team.

With the help of these favorable conditions, the hard-working squad soon had the courts in playing con- dition. In fact, due to the addition of red En Tout Cas to all the courts, the squad had the finest courts yet seen at Kent. Even though this new addition necessitated a great deal of extra work, the courts were ready for play at an early date. The first team had a week of hard practise before the first match. Returning from last year's first team, Captain Hughes and Dick Hole filled the top two positions for the first match and throughout the season. For the opening match, they were ably supported by Bob Blair, Don Nielsen, Chuck Bailey, and Ted Brophy. The initial match was played at New Haven against a strong freshmen team and was lost by the decisive score of 8-1. The only Kent victory was won by Hughes and Blair in the number two doubles position. The ' next match was against another college team, the if-. .s.si: ..

Our victories were regis- tered by Hole and Bailey, and Hughes and Blair in the top two doubles posi- tions. VVith these two college teams behind them, the team began to show its power against school com- ' petition. They started on a winning streak which was only twice broken throughout the remainder of the season. For the next match, the line-up of the team was changed for the first time. John Milnor of tl1e class of '42 replaced Ted Brophy at the number six position. Pawling soon became the first victim of the team. At the end of the afternoon, the Kent net- men came off the courts with a decisive 7-Q victory, losing but two singles matches. 'Loomis was the next team to be downed by the rapidly improving men of Kent. The match was played on wind swept courts at Loomis. Hole, Hughes, Nielsen, and Milnor won their singles matches, while the combinations of Blair and Hughes and Nimick and Nielsen won in the doubles. For this match John Miliior moved up into the number five position and Bailey went down to num- ber six. The Loomis match was closely fol- lowed by an easy victory over Cheshire, with all of the six singles matches being won in straight sets. Since these six victories clinched the match, the first doubles teams were replaced by three other aspiring doubles teams. Bill Blair and Pat Humphreys lost on the number one court, but Nick Reid and Dutch Holland and Brophy and Willmei' won the other two matches. The final score was Kent 8, Cheshire 1. At this point the winning streak was broken and Kent met its first defeat at the hands of a school team. At the end of a hard fought match, Choate emerged with a 6-3 victory. Dick Hole and Don Nielsen won their singles matches, there- by continuing their undefeated record against school players. The entire match was closely contested and the Blue and Grayls tennis was the best of the season. In the next match with Peddie, the team added another victory. The South Courts were not in condition because of two previous days of rain, and accord- ingly the North Courts were pressed into service. The match was generally slow due to the dampness of the courts. The Kent team took five of the singles matches, the only Peddie victory being won by Dorathy, a former member of the Kent class of 1942. The team easily swept through all the doubles and came out with an 8-1 victory. The team chalked up its fifth victory against VVestminster by a score of 7-Q. This was the last match played on the home courts. The six singles were all taken by Kent, and again several reserve doubles teams made their appearance in a first team contest. Nimick and Blair were defeated in the number one doubles, Hotchkiss was the second prep school Brophy and VVillmer met a similar fate playing in the number two position, but Collie Bell and Gene 1Volfe, appearing for the first time, defeated their oppon- ents 4-6, 6-4, 6-3. The Taft match was started at Taft on Saturday, May 7. However, when only three matches had been completed, rain prevented the continuation of the match. At this point, Kent was ahead by a score of 2-1, Hole and Nielsen both having won. The match was played off on the following Thursday. The already completed contests were counted and the others were resumed from where they had been stopped. The final score at the end of this second afternoon of play was 6-Q in favor of Kent. The third doubles teams did not play due to the lack of time. team to defeat the men of Kent. They had been undefeated by a school for three years and they maintained that record by downing the school netmen 7-Q. Hole defeated Schnaars, who had beaten him the previous year, by a score of 6-4, 8-10, 6-3, thereby retaining his undefeated record against school players. Don Niel- sen also won his match and thus set the same record. The fifth annual doubles match with Hotchkiss at Lakeville was won by the home team on a cold, rainy afternoon by the close score of 8-6. The play was con- stantly interrupted by light falls of rain, but finally the longest sets were completed and the tennis season was over. The Tennis Picnic was held a few nights later at Spectacle Lake. After a swim and a good meal, Mr. Humphreys called the squad together for the speeches and awards. He praised f'DiXieU Hughes as one of the finest captains Kent had ever had. Captain Hughes then made his farewell speech in which he thanked everybody for their help and cooperation throughout the season. Don Nielsen was elected to lead the squad the following year and in his speech said that he hoped he could do as good a job as his prede- cessor. Straight K,s,' were then awarded to Captain Hughes and Dick Hole, TKT,s', to Blair, Nielsen, Milnor, Bailey and Nimick. The follow- ing were awarded numer- als: Bell, Blair II, Holland, Ried,HumphreysI,VVolfe, and VVillmer. Also Huntington, Humphreys, Lambert, and Collier were M ANAGER HALF awarded their seconds.

But because of the great predominance of Greek letter fraterni- ties, it was decided to change the name. And thus we have the present day term, Cum Laude. The Society spread rapidly, and now most every preparatory school in the count1'y has a chapter. Cum Laude is to the preparatory school as the Phi Beta Kappa is to the college. Throughout the country, there are many thousands of members belonging to the Society, and we can see the importance of this wide-spread group. Although founded in 1906, it was not until some twenty-four years later that the Kent Chapter was inaugurated. Since Kent has always tried to establish high scholastic standards, one can easily estimate the value of the new Chapter. ln the beginning there were naturally only a few members, but as the years have passed, the number has increased until at the present time, the total Kent membership is approaching the two hundred mark. Each year, there are about Efteen new fellows added to the Society. These fifteen fellows have maintained, throughout four years at Kent, consistently high averages. In recognition of their efforts dur- ing 1941, the following boys were admitted to the Society: At the head of the list as leader of the sixth form came David B. VVillmer, and following him in order were: Douglas G. Smyth, Henry S. Beukema, John T. McLane, John VV. Church, Thomas T. Seeley, Chester F. Chapin, Theodore F. Brophy, John L. Morrisey, Lewis U. Brewster, Donaldson L. Lambert, Richard VV. Hole, VVhitney N. Seymour, Edwin S. Bergamini, Ken- neth Barnhart, and Ellis J. Van Slyck. On Prize Day, these boys received their coveted certificates of admission to the Society. At the present time, the officers of the Kent Chapter, as has been the case since its founding, are: the Rev. F. H. Sill, O.H.C., President, lVIr.James P.Humph- reys, Secretary, and Mr. Richard M. Baker, Treasurer. Along with these three, there have been added to the Society each year, two or three members of the faculty, and they now number well over twenty. Thus, although the Society has been going for just a little over ten years, it has steadily increased in influence, it has added much to our incentive for study, it has made students realize the value of such a distinction, and finally, it has promoted sincere interest in scholastic attainment. The importance of the Cum Laude Organization cannot be over empha- sized. The fifteen or more fellows who are accepted each year to the chap- ter have not only reached a worthy goal, but can be certain that they have accomplished their work at Kent. The News HE policy of the 1942 News Board might well be summed up in one word: prog- ress. For from the mo- ment the Board assumed the ever-increasing re- sponsibilities of editing the twenty-eight year old publication, its members have devoted their efforts to a series of striking improvements which have inspired a hearty and congratula- tory response from all those connected with . Kent. The object of all the progressive ideas ap- plied to The News this year has been to give a f better and a clearer picture of the Side of Tfellt life Wl1iCl'l it is designed to represent, Near the end of the fall term, a C0111- plete reorganization of the editorial page was undertaken. Realizing that the recognized trend of college and school publications in the past decade has been in the direction Of informality and Color, two drastic alterations were effected. W. DOWVNING, W.

The conservative, equally balanced and solid construction of the four columns was the first to perish, as the page was for the first time divided into separate and distinct sections. The editorials were given new emphasis under the enlarged first column, and the School Notes ap- peared with a headline which helped to rejuvenate interest in this feature. The Alumni Column, as a space- saving device, was brought over, and given a new seat. But the most revolutionary innovation of all was the appearance of a novel and colorful feature en- titled Portraits of 194231 Un- der this heading there was printed each week a short biog- raphy of two or three members of the Class of '42, together with a small and informal picture of the subjects. Along with these changes a hitherto abandoned office was revived. A Man- aging Editor was recreated by the Edi- tors as an assistant to the President. fhis new job is one of extreme import- ance, as The News of today rests on far more complex ground than it did two years ago, and thus the amount of work demanded by it calls for a far more com- plex organization. Another radical step was taken in the winter term. The subject of by- lines had long been under consideration by Editors of former Boards, but the idea was never adopted until this year. In such a manner, the reporters from the lower forms were given the opportunity of receiving recognition for their work, and conse- quently a new pride was developed which in turn raised the quality of the articles. The Editors themselves merely affixed their initials to the end of their own assignments. Aside from these con- spicuous reforms, progress along other lines was also notable. hlakeup and photography assumed an added im- portance, both of these elements of modern newspaper formation were con- tinuously stressed. Many new types of headlines were put into use, and the structure of the paper was given a more inspiring originality by a steadily in- creasing knowledge of makeup funda- mentals. Under the old saying, One picture is worth ten thousand words, more shots were printed this year than ever before, and in this policy a great deal of life was injected into The News which bolstered the subject matter accordingly. The addition of a full inch to each page not only gave more room to the somewhat imprisoned Editors but contributed greatly to the general appear- ance. As its own token of appreciation, the Board dedicated last spring to Father Sill a special Supplement entitled HA Tribute THE BOARD AT WORK to Paterf, Nlembers of the Faculty, the Alumni, and other branches of the Kent family', contributed to this undertak- ing, which was, perhaps, the most me- morable accomplishment that the Edi- tors are able to boast of during the past year.

H e w Q: : 1 1 1 The First Two Days T has ever been the custom, since self-help was first instituted at Kent, for the senior class, the sixth form, to take the primary step in putting the system of student work into motion for the school year. Thus it was that we of the class of forty-two returned, still starry-eyed over what we had seen and done during what has proved to be, probably, the last summer vacation of youthful irresponsibility and freedom that most of us will ever see, to put Kent School in working order for the rest of the student body who were to follow us in three days. There was really quite a little to be accomplished, beds had to be made up, rooms and jobs had to be assigned to the entire student bgdy, and the table list, with all its inevitable eccentricities had to be made out by the perspiring members of our class, then but newly made proud and potent by responsibilities. Then there were those persistent little no- tices which crop up on every door warning any and all who pass that their presence is ex- pected, if not demanded at the clinic for a general check-up before they have spent their first happy half an hour at the school by the riverside. These healthy reminders bloomed forth by the score under the ready tack hammers of the men of forty-two. What matter if old Sol blazed forth at ninety de- grees? Twenty willing hands toiled Cin a slightly relaxed manner it is truej in the gardens. VVhat matter if the halls were choked with debris of divers varieties? The lusty brooms of two dozen trained janitorial experts, singing of their summer exploits, needed only third bidding to accomplish a complete mastery of the situation. And then there was the matter of transporting ridiculously heavy trunks to all corners of the campus with meticulous care, and then discovering that we had deposited them in the wrong room. But were the hearts of forty-two sad- dened by such a misfortune? VVe re- doubled our efforts and resumed our work, this time a bit more roughly, but still accomplishing the task at hand. The results were as they should be and shall be, please God.

The nucleus of this group was Captain deGanahl, Curran, Brown, Ashley, and Maude, the only returning letter men. It was evident from the first day of practice, however, that there would be stiff competition for practically every position. In spite of the injuries and unavoidable absences which notice- ably crippled the team throughout the season, the squad showed a fiery com- petitive spirt which made it unceasingly difficult for the coaches to decide upon a starting lineup. Although We dropped hard fought games to the University of Connecticut freshmen and to Hotchkiss, CHAIRMAN PRATT the team came back strong to defeat VVestminster and Berkshire while Loomis held the team to a tie. The last game of the campaign was lost to Taft, a long standing rival who re- placed Choate as the last game on the schedule. The spirit of the entire squad during the whole season was remark- able. VVhat the team lacked in Weight and eX- perience they more than made up in their relent- less drive and determina- tion. It is difficult to pick out those who starred because the team was so evenly balanced. The running of Ashley, Bartlett and Harris, and the fine passing attack were valuable assets to the offensive work of the team. In the line, the playing of Tyng and Neff will be remembered as the best in many years. deGanahl, an inspiring leader, formed the bulwark of the Kent defense, distinguishing himself by play- ing every minute of the season. Her- kert, a recruit from tl1e Juniors, and Peake, a member of last year,s unde- feated second team, also deserve credit for their splendid work in handling the re- spective end assign- ments. The playing of Curran and VVaters in the line and the blocking of Howe and the tackling of Maude were also consistently good. On October 4, the team ventured to Storrs to open its sea- . CAPTAIN DEGANAHL son against the Connecticut State Fresh- men. The starting lineup was as follows: Rorick, Herkertgendsg Curran, Wheeler -tackles, Harris, Bartlett-halfbacksg M a u d e-quarterback: H Ashley-fullback. Early in the first period Kent took possession of . the ball deep in enemy territory when Tyng re- covered a Connecticut fumble. However, the tremendous weight ad- vantage held by the freshmen proved too much for the Kent of- fense and the ball soon changed hands. The home team now began a sustained drive of sixty- five yards which resulted in the first touchdown of the day. The conversion was successful and the Kent team found itself trailing by the score of 7-0. The second half saw Kent a more determined team. Although unable to penetrate the Aggiefs defense with any consistency, the team managed to thwart the scoring efforts of their opponents. It was only by a long pass that the fresh- men achieved their second touchdownlate in the fourth period. The contest was hard fought throughout, with the captain, Jim deGanahl and Connie Tyng sparking the Kent defense. On the offense, Bartlett and Ashley were responsi- ble for a large ma- jority of the gains. The second game of the season was played on Alumni Field against one of the MGII. LOCK1' strongest Hotchkiss teams in recent years. The visitors showed a powerful ground attack with Vllilliams and Brown leading the way. In the first six minutes of play, Hotchkiss tallied twice and led 13-0. But the lighter Kent team came back strongly. Early in the second half it was apparent that the home forces were on an offensive march. WVith Bartlett, Ashley and Huntington tearing off long gains, Kent moved from its own forty to the Hotchkiss three-yard line. The visitors braced, however, and took the ball on downs. The remainder of the game was a defensive battle, with neither team able to make a substantial march. The game ended with the score thirteen to nothing against the home team. Due credit must be given to the Hotchkiss team. Their hard charging line and precision blocking worked beautifully with a speedy backfield. For Kent, Herkert and Waters were a constant menace to the success of the visitors. On October 17, the Kent squad jour- neyed to Simsbury with high hopes of breaking into the winning column at the expense of WVestminster. Nor were these hopes in vain. Shortly after the whistle, the charging Kent line surged through to block an enemy punt. Maude, playing alert football, fell on the ball in the West- minster end zone for a touchdown. A moment later he converted, giving the team a 7-0 lead. The remainder of the first half was scoreless, although both teams occasion- ally threatened. In the third quarter, Lud Ashley, climaxed a long march by plunging over from thethree-yardline. Nfaude again converted. The final quarter was highlighted by the offensive efforts of the home team and by the sterling de- fense of Kent. The exceptional playing i of Bill Curran and Captain deGanahl was largely responsible for the fact that but six yards were gained from scrim- mage by Westmiiister. The next encounter found Kent play- ing host to Berkshire. Before a large number of mothers, the home team scored its second victory of the season, 7-0. The opening period was marked by the fierce playing of both teams. Berk- shire's vaunted TU formation occa- sionally threatened, but for the most part the Kent defense was impregnable. In the second quarter, the playing was dominated by the inspired running of Larry Harris and the passing of Lew Bartlett. Witli the Blue and Gray backfield breaking loose for long gains, Kent drove deep into Berkshire territory. A short pass to Peake, who successfully twisted through the enemy secondary de- fence was good for a touchdown. The extra point was made and the home eleven took an early 7-0 lead. During the second half, it appeared that Kent would continue its scoring, but the fight- ing Green team halted several long marches by determined goal line stands. The offensive thrusts of Berkshire were also threatening, but the fine play of Neff, Tyng, deGanahl, and W3t6I'S stymied their desperate efforts and the game ended with a 7-0 victory for the Kent team. Throughout the bruising, savagely-fought battle, the line play of Neff and Tyng was a deciding factor. The backfield functioned Well, with Harris carrying the brunt of the attack. The following Saturday found Kent renewing hostilities with the Maroon and Tan team of Loomis. The game was played in a heavy downpour, and proved to be one of the muddiest exhibitions of football ever witnessed on Alumni Field. In the first quarter, Bartlett gave an excellent exhibition of broken field run- ning when he streaked, with help ofexcellent block- ing, sixty-five yards for a touchdown. The remain- der of the half found both teams hampered by the re- with Ashley returning the kick-off thirty-five yards to the enemy forty-five-yard line. However, an intercepted pass gave the ball to Loomis, and the visitors, with renewed de- termination, advanced stead- ily into the Kent territory. Although Tyng and NeH dis- couraged all efforts of gaining through the line, the lVIaroon Team skirted left end on a surprise play to reach the Kent goal line. A plunge tied the score, but the intended conversion failed. In spite of the long gains achieved by Ashley and Harris, the home forces were unable to push over the deciding tally and the game ended in a 6-6 tie. The Loomis team merits special mention for their hard playing and line sportsmanship. The last game of the season took place at Taft on November 8. It was a thriller from start to finish. Taft got off to a fast start by scoring two touchdowns in the first half. The Kent attack, although occasionally flashing its usual form, could not muster a consistent drive. The third quarter, however, saw a com- plete reversal of form. Striking through the air and on the ground with equal power, the Blue and Gray visitors coun- tered early in the third period with Harris taking a pass for the touchdown. Taft came right back, and with the help lentless torrents of rain which rendered the Kent passing attack ineffective.

A sustained march by Kent terminated in Harris driving off tackle for the visitors second score. The game ended with the score Q0-12 in favor of Taft. ,On the evening of November 8, the annual banquet was held in the study. Curran received the lVIitchell Trophy for proficiency and good spirit on the fieldf' an honor which he unquestion- ably deserved. Peake was elected by the lettermen to lead the team next season, while Norton and Harris succeeded Pratt and Locke, respectively as chairman and manager. K,s were awarded to the fol- lowing: deGanahl, Tyng, Neff, Curran, VVaters, Herkert, Peake, Bartlett, Ash- ley, Howe, Harris, Mantle, Rorick, Bailey, Brown, Dickson, Henson, Hunt- ington, Atkin, Mittnaclit, Downing, and VVheeler. The following players received numerals: Reid, Hooper, Bridgman, Hubbell, and Wfallis. The second team under the guidance of 5'TotoH Wallcel' and HSmoky', Smith, suffered defeats at the hands of South Kent, 15-7, Taft Seconds, 7-6, and VVooster, 14-7. However, they played hard football and deserve great credit. Despite the uninipressive record of the first team, the season was a success, for the team showed a spirit of persistence and iight that the game scores cannot indicate. The spirit of the 1941 team will live on in the history of Kent football. The F others' cmd Mothers' Association VVO of the most important organiza- tions connected with the life of Kent are the Fathers, and Motllers' Associa- tions. Both of these organizations meet annually to discuss the school and to undertake various forms of financial, social and athletic aid for the school. The Fathers' Association was organ- ized in 1919 and held its first meeting in New York City. Since then, the original aim of the association, which was to keep the fathers of Kent boys in close contact with the school, has broadened and a great deal of the financial aid which has been necessary for the various recent buildings has been supplied by them. Every spring there is a meeting of the associa- tion held at the school when the fathers are given an opportunity to spend a weekend par- ticipating in the life of the school. At this meet- ing the oflicersfor the fol- lowing year are elected, and the plans for the work that the organiza- tion shall undertake throughout the follow- ing year are discussed. The loyal support of the fathers is largely respon- sible for the construc- tion ofthe North Dorm, Sports Building, Auditorium, and Library Building, in addition to the dam which creates the pond named 'gFathers, Pondv. The meeting of the Motliers' Associa- tion, which was held this past year on October 25, had the largest attendance of any hlothersi meeting in the history of the school, Father Chalmers expressed his gratitude for the many blessings of the present school year, especially the installment of Pater in the comfortable apartment in the basement of the Li- brary. He then thanked the mothers for the grand work which they had been do- ing all year, especially their being re- sponsible for the planting around the new Library building and the convenient and helpful interest which they had taken in the chapel and the sacristy. The next thing which he mentioned was the Carnegie record collection, a group of 670 records covering all types of music and offering an excellent historical background. This collection was pre- sented to the school by the Carnegie Foundation with the understanding that the school was to pay one half of the cost of it. This debt was taken over by the Motliersi Association. lVIrs. Raymond E. Baldwin was ap- pointed president, with Mrs. Parsons as Vice-President and lllrs. Tirrel as Secre- tary and Treasurer. Matter 0 Form 'A NITED we stand . . . three small words uttered by Abraham ,Lin- coln. In those words lies the source of our happiness and success here at Kent. As soon as we crossed the Housatonic in September of our first year, we became a part of that group labelled the class of '4-Q, Taking us in hand on the second floor of the old main building, Bronx Park explained to us what form spirit meant. Still a little awed at exactly what life was all about, this term form spirits, crept into the back of our minds and took firm root there. The first sign of this Hspiriti' budding in us was the geometric progression by which the number of form communicants increased. f . We became one, whether serving de- tention or engaging in mass civil war. It can never be said that this fellow or that one was left out. The rest of the school soon recognized our independence, and we became as proud of it as our numer- als. Of course, at the opening of the fall term of third form year, we resented the influx of new fellows into our class. This came out in the form of Georgie Neff periodically walking into Al Emmanuel's room and trying to lock the latter in his closet, and various other trifling inci- dents. It was Pater who finally pointed out to us that these new fellows were just anxious we were to contribute to the form if we would only give them a chance. Sure ,nuff we did, and they did. Tun S'1'UDYfA Mnmoimnnu PLACE IN Livns or THE SIXTH Foinwmns From then on,11o one boasted that he was a charter member of the class of '4Q.', It was simply, a member of the class. Our pride in the form increased step by step. The first realization that we werenit just a bunch of dumb bunniesncame when our form led the school in scholastic aver- age. Despite the fact FALL TERM PARTY or DAVIS AND HALE that this soon became more or less habitual, when Uncle Ted read off our class at the top of the list that first time, we were a mighty tough bunch for the rest of the school to swallow. VVe are not to forget that faithful group of fellow classmen who waited outside Cliff Loomis, door to pick up the victims after the slaughter brought about by the Eng- lish exam. If we skip lightly over the record our form has made in front-page athletics and take note of our endeavor in the minor fields such as softball and form crew, we again find success written in bold type. Almost every member of the form turned out on free evenings to give the form high standing in the compet- itive softball games. In second form year, OIII' first crew captured the lower class of the regatta, repeated in third form year, and in fourth form year turned the honors over to an undefeated second-fourths. A spirit which out- shines that found on just ordinary teams has marked our class representa- tives for five years. Socially speaking, our form has ex- panded tremendously. VVe all remember Bill Currans' cider party in the base- ment of the old Study Hall. But other than this, feeds in second form year were far different from those of our senior year. In the old days, we used to lock ourselves in an empty classroom and see how much we could force down Olll' gullets. Contrasted with these was that admirable feed given by the Messrs. Benny Davis and Phil Hale. We shall always recall the friendliness and healthy spirit of that and other parties given during that memorable fall term. VVe can't very well pass over this sub- ject without recalling those nights in the study wherein we puffed contentedly on our pipes, and tea in the afternoon was attended with surprising regularity. All of this, studies, athletics, and our friendly get-togethers, whether in the study or along the corridors, or at a feed . . . all point to a year strong in friendship . . . stronger than any of us visioned it would be when we first arrived at Kent. lt has been proved through small and great trials to be the kind of friendship that lasts.

Jlorlon Music USICAL activity at Kent centers 1 mainly around the Glee Club, quartet, Form Choirs, and the Jazz Or- chestra. Mr. Gilliam is now in his four- teenth year as organizer and director of music at Kent. Under his guidance, those whose interests lie along the musi- cal line have ample opportunity to pur- sue them throughout the year. It is safe to say that a good majority of boys take part in some musical activity at the School, whether it be in the choral line or in the instrumental line. Soon after the opening of the fall term in September, trials for Glee Club mem- bership Were begun. After these trials were finished and the final group of tenors and basses were organized, rehear- sals commenced. The Club consists of fifty boys, the majority of whom are taken from the fifth and sixth forms. As is the custom during the fall term, two concerts were given. One of these was a brief recital for the mothers over their week-end in early October, and the other was the annual joint concert sung with VVykeham Rise at New Nlilford in the Christmas season. The final appearance of the Club in the fall term was when they gave a Carol Service in the Chapel. At the start of the winter te1'm, several new numbers were added to the reper- toire, in anticipation of coming concerts. In the middle of the term, the Kent Club was host to the Berkshire singers, who returned Kentis previous visit to Shef- field. Both Clubs sang before the student body, the Kent contingent rendering some of its newer songs. Likewise, a con- cert at either Wykeham Rise or Ethal VValker School is planned at the begin- ning of the Spring term. Meanxy'hile, be- tween these concerts, weekly rehearsals continued, with Mr. Gilliam directing the work. Along with the entertainment pre- sented by the Glee Club came the strains of the Quartet. Consisting entirely of sixth formers, namely Hale, Neilsen, lVIaude, and Allsopp, the Quartet sang along with the Club. Many were the eve- nings that they practiced in the audito- rium, rendering spirituals and folk songs, much to the glee of the lower forms. There is little doubt that this foursome added enjoy- ment to every Kent re- cital. And although, as is often the case, new material must be found, this yearis addition to the Quartet is certainly of the finest, and it has well deserved the back- ing of the entire School. Because of the brev- ity of the spring term, at the present time only one' program is definitely planned.This concert comes over Father'sVVeek-end,and in it the Club finishes the season by giving its guests a really excellent program. All in all, the Clubis half dozen concerts during the year are proof of the interest in Glee Club work. In addition to the Glee Club and the Quartet, one other choral group exists. It is the Form Choirs. Throughout all the terms this collection of about twenty- five boys from each form have practiced every Sunday morning, the purpose of the Choirs being to check lagging hymns in Mass. Through their work and efforts the number of hymns has increased and the quality of the singing has greatly im- proved. It is because of them that unity in Chapel singing has remained at a high level for many years. A type of music at Kent which defi- nitely does not go under the heading of choral music is the Jazz Orchestra. They are more commonly known as the Dukes of Kent . ln their hands rests the task of entertaining the student body during the Saturday evening meals. As THE QUARTET always, the time factor enters the scene, and thus the periods of rehearsal are often widely separated. Nevertheless, under the able direction of Emanuel at the piano, the DukesU are on hand al- most every Saturday evening. The members of the Orchestra do their own organizing and directing. Several tunes are played in the band's own arrange- ment, and occasionally one hears an original composition. Naturally, their repertoire consists of swing tunes and the previously mentioned arrangements. Lastly, there has been given to the School, espec- ially for those who do not enjoy participating in choral or instrumental music, a set of six hundred phonograph records from the Carnegie Corporation. The records are a collection of musical history, and together with the records already in use, the School possesses an ex- cellent group of recordings for everyone's benefit. VVith the addition of the Carnegie set, the Lower Library has already become host to a great number o in classical Sunday evenin ulty member, sistance of a Si arranges a pro ings.

This year proved that the Club is definitely on the upswing, for several worthwhile things were accomplished by the group during the year. Considering the fact that the French Club exists without the aid of a Faculty Advisor, and meets but once a week, its list of ac- complishments is to be warmly praised. The officers elected for the year were Robert K. Mortoii as President and Bernard Ryan, Jr. as Secretary. Early in the Fall the older members of the French Club decided to break a cus- tom that had long existedg they let the members take turns in planning and con- ducting the meetings. Thus those un- derlings who formerly had the habit of sitting unassumingly in the background and merely listening to the conversation carried on by the more knowing ones found that they had a chance to gain more experience in handling the language and speaking it before their assembled confreres. Many evenings were also spent in imbibing the French culture through recordings of the works of the great French masters. Later on in the Fall Term, the French Club astounded the School by adopting a French refugee in England. Letters to D the child were written and money was sent. That this act on the part of the Carole was worthwhile and also stimu- lated interest is shown by several anony- mous gifts that went toward the support of the refugee. In the VVinter Term a French play, .Lauer llleuble, was chosen for presenta- tion before the School. The play, in eight scenes, was rehearsed in the Wiri- ter and presented early in the Spring, climaxing an excellent year. The fact that the French Club is not under supervision of a Faculty member is noteworthy, for this past year especially the fellows in the organization have taken it upon themselves to create more interest in their weekly meetings. return engagement, mak- chances of winning the d Gold skat- books. while later Hockey OACHES Bill Nadal and Dave Tir- rell were faced with a tough propo- sition at the beginning of the 1942 Hockey season when they called for can- didates and found only five lettermen at their service. But with these as a spirited nucleus, a fighting but diminutive sextet emerged to turn in an excellent record when the books were balanced at the secession of hostilities. Six victories were racked up against three defeats, and two of these deficits were the work of potent college teams, the Yale Freshmen and Uncle Sam,s own Plebes from VVest Point. Berkshire proved to be the sole prep school squad which could push the Blue and Gray into the dust, but in a ing a fitting climax to the season, the tide was aptly turned by a gal- lant t h o ug h mump- stricken K e n t squad. Two deadlocks one with Taft and one with South Kent nullified the teamis newly-formed Housa- tonic Hockey League, and the F.H. Sill trophy, presented in honor of the Headmaster Emeri- tus, went to Berkshire while they glided through his desperate teammates entered their second game of the season with no one to tend the nets, and did such a superb job in there that he stayed in front of the cage for the rest of the season. The squad owes much to him for his performance. On January 10th, following two hectic post-vacation days of rearmament, the Kent boys journeyed to Ne w Haven to oppose one of the most powerful Fresh- man teams in Yale history. The Elis pushed in four goals in the and five in the next two, Tilghman tallied the lone ifirst session while Billy visiting goal late in the final period of that opening night 14-1 debacle.

It took another week for Mother Na- ture to give in to the prayers and goodly hecatombs offered on her altar to permit another engagement. The hopes of a visiting Blue and Gray sextet at Shefiield on January 28th were shattered when Berkshire took advantage of some faulty covering to nip Lew Bartlett for four tallies by the half-way mark of the sec- ond chukker. Bill Tilghman injected some hope into the cause by sinking in a long shot near the end of the period, and Barry Wood scored early in the last session, but Kent never was really back in the contest. The final Sunday morning found a doggedly determined South Kent sextet crossing sticks with their mother school. Both squads skated themselves ragged trying to beat their opposing net-tenders, but the game went into a scoreless over- time and ended up in a 0-0 deadlock. On the following afternoon the Blue and Gray squad warmed up on almost perfect ice at Lakeville. The action was dull and listless going until the third period, when Barry Wood broke the ice only ten seconds after the face-off and put his squad out in front, where they remained for the short period of five ticks of the timekeeper's stopwatch 3 but twenty seconds more found Wood again putting his men into a Q-1 lead which this time they would not relinquish. On February 4th came the annual exodus to VVest Point to engage the Army Plebes, this year in the company of the wrestling squad on a similar mis- sion. An old face, that of Hal Beukema, Kent '41, made things look more homey CHAIR STUMI-I on the spacious Arena, and Lew Bartlett. saw plenty of faces too. Unfortu- nately, most of them were new ones, and they left their mark to the tune of seven goals to four. Barry W'ood chalked up his first hat trickn of the season and Bill Curran came smiling through with a lone tally to polish up his record. This defeat at iVeSt Point only served to make the Kent sextet more eager to encounter Wlestminster School five days later. A warm spell stretched inconven- iently between the two games, so a slow start was only natural under the circum- stances. Ray Brock got his third of the campaign early in the first, but the lead was surrendered early in the next frame. Larry Harris put his teammates back on top soon afterwards, only to have the battle evened up in the third period. Then in a sensational overtime splurge, Barry WVood slapped in two tallies un- assisted, and the trip home from Sims- bury was a march of triumph once again. The game with Gunnery on the Kent ice February 11 had literally a touch of the professional in it. Hostilities were presided over by two delegates from the New York Rangers, Captain Art Coulter and the rookie Bill Juzda.

A brisk breeze and mumps combined to make things tough for the visiting Kent team, which lost both Don Nielsen and Larry Hrris due to the bug. But Bert Dickson, Daisy VVarfield, and Tommy Walker took turns flanking Barry VVood's vacant wings, and to them goes the credit for styrnieing what had once been the most potent offense in the Housatonic Hockey The second team completed a medio- cre season with three wins, four losses and one tie.

Morton The Public Speaking Society HE Public Speaking Society was fortunate during the past year, in again securing the services of Mr. George Hayes as the faculty coach. With Jack Bunzel, as president of the organization, working with Mr. Hayes, a much more informal basis was worked out for the meetings. To begin with, informality definitely was striven for. That is, in- stead of having people stand up and make long complicated speeches, the meetings were used as open forums for discussing topics which everyone was sure to know something about. Such topics as the possibility of Kentis be- coming co-educational, whether or not the council at Kent School should be improved, became the subjects of heated discussions in these open forums. The first formal debate was held with Hotchkiss at Kent on November 6. In reality it was not a debate, but rather a panel discussion on the topic: What Kind of a Peace Should an Allied Victory Pr0duce?', In a panel discussion the speaker is not compelled to take sides. Each speaker is allowed to have the floor for the total of six mil utes, and he may divide his allotted time speeches as he chooses. 1 into as many lfVhitley and Hodder of the fifth form and Tilghman and Allsopp of the sixth form were the speakers for Kent. Two weeks later a team was sent to Hotchkiss for another panel discussion, this time on the subject: Could Hitler Organize Europe?', O. B enson Davis and Fred Rankin, the main speakers for ' l the visitors, both stressed t they felt Hitler could orga e point that 1 nize Europe, as did the Hotchkiss debaters, but none of them had much more to contribute to the discussion. This year, it was decided by Mr. Hayes and President Bunzel that there would be no decisions in any of the debates. Elimination of decisions, it was felt, would obviate the wild oratory and haranging whi employed to impress the h is usually c fudges: and also it was felt that the debaters could learn to speak better on th eir feet, thus fulfilling the main purpose of the Public Speaking Society. On December 3 the Yale Freshmen sent a three man team to Kent, while four sixth form members of the society journeyed to New Haven. Each team debated on this subject: Labor!s Right to Strike Should be Suspended for the Duration of the Present Emergency. The team which debated at Kent took the negative side, while the one at Yale spoke for the affirmative. Both the teams were rather badly outclassed by the Yale debaters. Jim Hodder, Bob Collier, and Pat Whitley, all of the fifth form, upheld the negative hereg while the sixth form team at New Haven was composed of VVheeler, Dave Green, and Douglas Duer. The perspective debate with Taft November 26th had to be called off. It was originally postponed until De- cember 10, but because of complications in the arrangements it had to be dropped entirely. However, the weekly meetings continued for the rest of the term. During the winter term there were no outside debates, the society confining itself to intra-mural discussions. The bulk of the work in the winter term con- sisted of open forum discussions on vari- ous topics on modern affairs as: That Hitler is One of The Great Heroes of the German peoplef' To start the season the club was thrown open to fourth formers, with more fifth and sixth formers joining the group. All things considered it was a success- ful seasong not so much perhaps from the view of outside matches, but from the View of what was accomplished in the society during the season. It was felt by both Mr. Hayes and Bunzel that, in concentrating on a smaller group of boys, more was accomplished. The weekly meetings were concluded at the end of the winter term for the duration of the year, and the season came to a successful end. The Alumni Association HE first time that the Kent School sixth former becomes acutely aware that there is such a thing as an Alumni Association is on the night of prize day. That night after the graduating sixth formers have received their diplomas they gather together on the big rock near the bell tower and sing the school song to the student body who are gath- ered below. From that time on the graduates are officially alumni. They join the Alumni Association that night up in the study. The average boy in the student body does not know much about the Associa- tion itself. The association is made up of nearly thirteen hundred graduates, and is run without any fixed dues.

Since 1937, the Literary Sup- plement has replaced the Kent Quarterly which, in the early days of the School was the only publication of the student body. Gradually, however, the News replaced the Quarterly in its original purpose. It served as the Schoolis news publication and it became a purely literary publication. In 1937, then, it was decided that a supplement to the News which might appear with it once a term would be more advisable and the change was made. The Supplement began to appear regu- larly, edited, however, merely as a kind of side line by the members of the News Board. This, through the course of years and because of the growing expansion of the News, proved to be a rather difficult assignment. Accordingly, last year, a Literary Society was formed, its whole raison d'et7'e being the publication of the Supplement. The plan proved successful, for the new society was able to give its attention solely to the Supplement. A real improvement, therefore, was noticed in the Supplement last year both in con- tent and in format. This year, the Society of nine fellows has made several changes. The policy adopted has been to print each article in its entirety on one page, instead of chop- ping up the pages with articles continu- ing from page to page. The rule between the columns has been removed to facili- tate following the article. The Society has tried to publish in each Supplement a group of the best articles representative of all the forms. However short it may have come in reaching this goal is a moot question. The effort at least has been made. It is hoped that even greater progress may be made in the future.

The entire season was marked by uncertainty concerning each starting line-up, and by the superlative spirit and fight with which the squad adapted itself to the unfortunate circumstances. WVith Bailey, Ashley, Rorick, and Bridge- man returning from the renowned aggre- gation of 1941, the prospects for a good season were extremely likely. These let- termen, joined by Bill Nimick, formed the first team, with Atkin, Brown, VVig- gins, John Milnor, and Baldwin filling in when called upon. The season opened with the team's trip to New Milforfl for a game with Canterbury. The home tea ing co-ordinated teamwork a scoring ability, proved a goo the Kent five. Although be end of the first quarter, the v terbury team, led by O'Brie to steal the lead from Kent end of the third period held . ing 34-24 advantage.

Again taking to the road, the Blue and Gray quintet attained their second victory in a hard fought game with Berk- shire. Kent ball-l1and- ling was much improved, and Nimickls fourteen points indicated a cap- able attack. The final count was 33-27. Playing on their own Hoor in the first home game of the season, the 4 Kent five rang up their l third consecutive vic- tory by defeating a fighting Gunnery team, 40-27. Overcoming an early lead, the home team displayed a spirited of- fense which gained the victory. Bill Nimick, scoring seventeen points stood out for the Kent team. Traveling to VVallingford, the home squad encountered a superior Choate quintet, and were vanquished by the score of 35-24. The smooth, deliberate play of the Choate team proved to be the deciding factor in the game. Ashley led tl1e Kent scoring, while Curtin and Foster CHAIRMAN HANFORD were the high scorers for Choate. The following game, a return engage- ment with Canterbury, was marked by the absence of Nimick and Mary' Rorick, offensive and defensive mainstays of the Blue and Gray team, due to the mumps. Their absence dealt a sharp blow to the hopes of the squad. The revamped line- up found Bridgman shifted from center to forward, Atkin at center, and Brooke Brown at the vacant guard position. Considering how little time this team had previously practiced together, the results were remarkable. The home five jumped to an early lead and maintained a 20-9 advantage at the half. The third and fourth periods were marked by the surprisingly smooth functioning of the home team. Bailey continually set up scoring plays, while Brown turned in an outstanding defensive performance. The final whistle gave Kent another victory, 40-29. Ashley was high scorer with seventeen points. VVednesday, February 4-th, Captain Bailey,s squad suffered its first league setback. Playing a veteran Pawling quintet the home team was no match for the undefeated visitors. The Pawling team exhibited a fast breaking offense and a tight zone defense. The Blue and Gray five, while showing fight, was nerv- ous and erratic. The passing of the team was below par and the offense also suf- fered a letdown. The final score 415-25, sent the visitors home still undefeated. ln the following game with Taft, played in the Sports Building, Ashley, Nimick, and Roriek all were unable to participate, and the shell of a team that represented Kent was no match for Taft as the score of 39-18 indicates. With Borick and Nimiek back in ac- tion the team journeyed to Gunnery, ex- pecting to repeat their earlier triumph. But such was not the case. Despite the fact that Gunnery won by the small margin of 30-27, the Kent five had little claim to superiority. There was a defi- nite sloppiness and lack of precision which marked a slump in their game. Gunnery, the underdog, played hard and deserved victory. Captain Bailey and Ted Bridgman deserve mention for their fine play. Expecting the worst, and yet hoping for the best, the Kent squad again tangled with the Pawling quintet, on the latter,s court. Unfortunately the team got what they expected rather than what they hoped for.

Atkin and Ted Bridgeman were also impressive in the Kent victory. The final score was 38-26. To end its season the Blue and Gray traveled to Loomis to play the second of its two non- league games. A g a i n Kent was represented by a handicapped team, but this time careless and inaccurate passes caused the downfall of the team. Ted Bridgeman, Kent center, should be singled out for his sterling play, not only in this last game, but throughout the entire season. Al- though an accurate shot, he preferred to pass to a teammate rather than try for a goal himself, which is praiseworthy in any athlete. At the banquet on February 26 Don Atkin was elected captain of the 1943 team, succeeding Charlie Bailey. After Bailey made his speech thanking Fr. Chalmers and Mr. Smith for their coaching, and also thanking the school for the backing and support they had given the team, Fr. Chalmers read out the awards. BKB,s were awarded to Bailey, Ash- ley, Rorick, Nimick, Bridgeman, Atkin, VViggins, Milnor, Baldwin, Brown, Chair- man Hanford, and Manager Green. Although the team was not altogether impressive as far as the scores are con- cerned, they nevertheless displayed a brand of basketball worthy of any Kent team. Handicapped every week by the loss of one or more of its men, the team still managed to fight to the end against all odds. As with crew, basketball practice is begun at the end of the athletic events of the previous term. All the fellows in the school who plan to go out for this winter sport meet for informal practice at the close of the football season up to the week of final examinations. While certainly the first and second squads deserve a great amount of credit, it is nevertheless equally true that the junior squads, who also have practice each day, are trained as early as second form year and thus become candidates for future squads. The Bells HE chapel bells, one of Kent's grandest possessions, Were cast at the Whitechapel Bell foundry of Mears and Stainbank, London, Eng- land. After being blessed in orthodox manner, they were sent to the school as a gift by Mr. and Mrs. Erank Humphrey as a thank offering for the life of their beloved son. For years Kent has been the only place in the United States that rings the Eng- lish Change system seven days a week. Now that the war has silenced the bells of London, we are probably tl1e only place in the world that rings the changes every day. This is certainly a great honor for every member of the band and the school is proud of such distinction. Fronl If When the bells were first brought to Kent, an Englishman trained in the art of ringing was hired by the school as an instructor for four years. However, in the autumn of 1935, he returned to Eng- land and since then the self-help system has shown its proficiency in another phase of our life at Kent. Every year a sixth former from the band is elected chairman of the guild. VVith the help of some of the older ringers, the student chairman instructs the younger boys who will some day take their place in the Hrst band. This student instruction has proved highly satisfactory and the ring- ing still maintains a high standard. Although we have become quite inde- pendent in the matter of learning how to use the bells, there are still some things TH E BE LL RINGERS Html' lfmlf: Nezzrffomb, Russell, T.

Unfortunately the large ropes used in the ringing are not made in this country and therefore we must obtain them from England. Because of the war, We are now having difficulty in replacing the present ropes which are Wearing out. Two complete sets of ropes have already been lost on the high seas and we cannot be sure when another set will be sent and if they are sent whether they will be able to elude the Nazi patrol. It is extremely fortunate that the smaller ropes used for chiming can be replaced in this country for they have become the constant diet of a family of squirrels that inhabit the tower. Among the faculty Mr. Loomis and Mr. Anders have taken a prominent in- terest in the guild for several years. Mr. Anders ofliciates at all the banquets and takes great interest in the band. lVIr. Loomis has been extremely kind in hav- ing the bell ringers down to tea at his Hrrrrzfs house each year. Last year there was a member of the faculty who took an ac- tive part as well as strong interest in the workings of the ringers. hir. Simmons was learning the ins and outs of ringing from the boys and no doubt he would have been a great help to the guild in years to come as a faculty adviser if he had not been lost to us through the selective service. Every hlonday, Tuesday, Thursday. and Saturday the novices ring the bells for practice and on the other nights the first band does the ringing. Before they have mastered the art, the newcomers ring bells which have been silenced. This is done by placing a bar across the mouth of the bell which holds the clap- per in place and prevents it from striking the bell. Other times at which the bells are rung are on Sunday afternoon and Sunday night. This is however a differ- ent type of ringing known as chiming which is done by one person only. Usu- ally the chairman or some other sixth former plays the chimes on Sunday after- noon and they are again heard in tl1e closing minutes of the Sunday evening adoration service. Last year, under the able leadership of Stanley Bo- dell, the bells were rung for the first time without the aid of an Attwater student. The last boys to study un- der our professional in- structor had graduated in 19410. On May first of last year when the administration changed again according to tradition, lVIarsom Pratt was appointed to succeed Bodell as chairman. Other sixth formers who make up the nucleus of the band are Brown, Allsopp, VValker, Newcomb, and Huntington. VVith these, Harvey, Russel and Dewey I make up the first band. The remainder of the society com- prises the following: Harris HI, Loomis, lVIathews, Rich. Rorick H, Jennys, Du- pont, Deatly, lVIacCleod, and Kingsbury. The bell ringing this year has again been a fine example of the efficiency of the self-help system and a great credit to the boys who give so freely of their time and energy to make it possible. The im- portance of this organization in school life cannot be over-emphasized. The fact that it is the only organized group which works without an instructor of any kind is in itself a notable feat. Every evening during Job Assembly and before the Sunday services the bells can be heard ringing: and during a few quiet moments of the Sunday evening service the Bell ringers play a hymn. Guests visiting the school have always commented on this achievement on the part of this group of boys, and we hope that the society will carry on the knowledge and traditions of the bells next year under the leadership of John Harvey. The Council T the present time, the Council, which originates from the Kent School Constitution, founded in 1909 by R. P. Titus, senior prefect of that year and now business manager, consists of eleven boys, of whom five are in the sixth form. The three prefects, along with the sub-prefect are picked by the Headmas- ter. The sixth form itself elects its own council-member. The remaining six members consist of three fifth formers and three fourth formers. The Chairman Headmaster to the School. Any com- plaint or suggestion may be carried per- sonally to the Council, and through it, brought before the Headmaster. In other words, the Council acts as a go- between, somewhat similar to the cabi- net of the President. The Council acts as the governing body of the School. Although it can only advise the Headmaster or make sugges- tions as to changes of policies or rules, it has full power in the matter of discipline. Part of the Councilis job is to enforce the rules of the School, and to see that discipline is carried out. An ex- ample of this is the matter of wearing hats and coats at all times during the winter term. of the Council this year is Richard H. Wood, the senior prefect, and with him are: William G. Curran, James A. deGanahl, Frank A. VVaters, Lawrence V. D. Harris, Edward R. Dewey, Thomas S. Wallis, Gerald S. Howe, Henry M. Lozier, John S. Biddle, Rich- are B. Cfushee. The six members of the Council from the fourth and fifth forms are elected by the student body, and not by the Headmaster. The Council, there- fore, acts as the representatives of the School, that is, the representatives of the School to the Headmaster and of the The Council must en- force this rule and must also penalize offenders. In this way, self-gov- ernment, a vital part of Kent School life, is handled. However, it is the job of the sixth form to back up the Council in all things, and likewise, to see that rules are obeyed. The general tone of the School rests in the hands of the Council and the sixth form. The Council usually meets every Thursday evening in the Mothers! room. It is at this time that the discussion of rules, attitude of certain boys, possible changes in rules, take place. The Head- master is not present at this meeting, and it is only after the meeting is finished that he is consulted. Then on Friday mornings, in job-assembly, the entire School is informed of any change in rules or regulations, and also of such matters as possible changes in tl1e daily schedule or the use of the pop-tent on Weflnesflays and Saturdays. Sometimes, there are no suggestions and the Council meeting is merely a discussion of the way in which the School is running. Father Chalmers, himself, announces these changes on Fri- day mornings. The Council is continu- ally working towards the ultimate end of trying to make Kent a better place. This year. the Council has been ex- tremely active. Perhaps there have been instances when the School felt the Coun- cil to be slightly over-bearing, bothering about things which concerned them not. But supposing we had a Council that did not interest itself, or did not care about the affairs of the School. A stagnant Council would breed a stagnant School. The fact that, with few exceptions, such as the addition of a sub-prefect to the Council, the School Constitution has remained intact, is certain proof of the THE COVNFII, need for and success of the Student Council. .It is the Council that sees to the matter of checking up on attendance, that changes table lists, that goes after a fellow who may have decided he wanted a private late-sleep. The task of running job-assembly also belongs to the Council. Twice each day, when lower formers have completed their jobs, reports are brought to the prefect's desk by inspec- tors. Then they are read out by one of the prefects along with any other an- nouncements pertaining to the matters at hand, such as Glee Club rehearsals or other activities around the school. Many are the minor duties of a Council mem- ber, duties which many of us seem to forget or overlook. If a fellow is missing during a meal. who must find him? One of the prefects. iVIay first will see the departure of the 1942 Council, a Council which has worked with untiring effort towards the bettering of Kent. lhzck limr: GIINIIIT, Bizlrllrf, Loafer, Horne, E.

Tyng, 145 lbs., Fewell, 155 lbs., Howe, 165 lbs., Hooper, 175 lbs., and Allsopp, unlimited. The team was undefeated for the third year in a row, and although there were only three for- mal matches, they were against worthy opponents. Kent defeated Hotchkiss 35-3, tied Taft 19-19, and beat the Army Plebes 16-1Q. Another match, against Hotchkiss, was called off by the latter because of mumps at Kent, as was the match with Choate, which Kent, by com- parative scores, was favored to win. One other match, which was informal, was held at Yale with some Jayvee and Freshmen wrestlers for the purpose of gaining experience. By comparative scores, for that matter, the VVrestling Team was about as good as any prep school team in the State, and next year's team, which looks quite as promising, certainly deserves a schedule that can do it justice. The actual season began a week and a half after the Christmas vacation, when the team journeyed to Hotchkiss and ran up its first tremendous score. Buck', Rankin obtained the first five points by default, George VVatson lost by decision to the brutish but deserving Hill of Hotchkiss, and the rest of the team, Benny Davis, Captain Tyng, Billy Fewell, Jerry Howe, Laurie Hooper, and Pete Allsopp won by quick falls. Jerry Howe recorded the shortest time, anchor- ing his opponentis shoulders in about a minute. Pete Allsopp performed very creditably in the unlimited class, al- though outweighed by at least twenty pounds. The outcome of the match itself was most heartening, and the horneward- bound team was in high spirits. The second match of the season, with Taft, at Kent, ended in a disap- pointing tie. Because Buckn Rankin had no opponent in the 121 lb. class, Ed Dewey wrest- DOWNING Chairman VFYNG Captain led a very good second-team 145 lb. man from Taft, and lost by a decision. George 1Vatson avenged his defeat of the pre- ceding week by pinning his man easily in the second period. Benny Davis ob- tained an easy decision over his oppo- nent, though he was unable to throw him. Billy Fewell, in the 155 lb. class, put up a game battle against Taft's Captain Mc- Cullough, but was forced to default in the second period because of an injured rib. '6Connie Tyng and Jerry Howe wrestled to disappointing ties in the 145 and 165 lb. classes respectively, the formerslightlyhandicappedbyawrenched elbow, and the latter a trifle cautious because of his inexperience. Laurie Hooper won, as usual, by a fall, in a thrilling match, and Pete Allsopp lost by a fall. It was disappointing to have bad breaks in this match above all, as Taft was rated as one of the best prep school teams. The Team journeyed to West Point on VVednesday, Febru- ary fourth, to trounce the plebes, 16-12. This match was most grati- fying in its outcome, as the Army Plebes are definitely high-class, ex- perienced wrestlers in collegecompetitionltan- R. lX'TORTON M anagcr kin, whose opponent was especially good, George VVatson, Benny Davis, and Pete Allsopp lost by decisions, Billy Fewell and Jerry Howe won by falls, and Laurie Hooper and Connie', Tyng won by de- cisions. Billy Fewell is to be congratu- lated on the astonishing feat of pinning his man in only 57 seconds. In the final informal match at Yale, in which the Team wrestled a motley collection of Freshmen and Jayvees, there was no score, but the Kent men appeared to have an edge, especially in wrestling knowledge, which is all to Coach BishU Colmoreis credit. The trip was much enjoyed, for the Team, with some of the more deserving spares, saw the Yale-Cornell 'varsity match, met and were coached by Yale's O'Don- nell, and had beautiful tenderloin steak dinners. The trip was voted an outstanding success from every viewpoint. In summing up the individual wrestlers, we find that 1Q1 lb. Buck Rankin was unlucky in either having his men 1 outweight him or default to him. George Watsoii, at 128, lost two decisions and made one fall,but he can be congratulated on meet- ing with the toughest of opponents. Benny Davis, Kent,s wrestling stylist, won a fall, a decision, and lost a decision in a rather unfortunate match with Army, but proved to be a standout in his class. Captain Connie,' Tyng won by a fall, a decision and tied with Taft, pass- ing on to succeeding captains the ques- tionable Nundefeated-captaini' tradition. Billy Fewell, at 155, wrestled gamely all season, winning two falls, and losing one match by an unavoidable default. Jerry Howe and Laurie Hooper must be always mentioned in the same breath as Kentis 'fbrute-strengthi' men. Both were unde- feated, Jerry Howe winning two matches by falls and tying one, and LaurieHooper winning two by falls and one by decision. Our outweighed h e a v y - weight, Pete Allsopp won one match by a fall and lost one by a decision and one by a fall. A newcomer, Pete Gilsey, beat out Pete Allsopp for the privilege of rep- resenting Kent at Yale. The Team is especi- ally grateful to the Uwrestlingcoach , ' Bish Clolmore, and the many fellows who came out every day to make the work of the team a success and wrestling no longer the last sport in the number of fellows out. Next year it is hoped that second team matches can be arranged so that the novices may prove their ability. In the final banquet, Laurie Hooper was elected Captain for 1943, while VVar- ren and Stevens were appointed Chair- man and hlanager respectively, to suc- ceed Slim Downing. The banquet was a little different from other years as the whole school ate together in the dining room, and then the vari- ous squads sought pri- vate rooms to attend to the rest of their busi- n e s s . VVKT,s w e r e a warded to Rankin, WVat- so11, Davis. Tyng, Few- ell, Hooper, Howe, and Downing. Numerals to Gilsey, Dewey I, VVar- ren, and Stevens. The fact that in the past years wrestling has become one of the outstanding sports of the entire year is due to several factors. First and fore- most of course is Coach Bish Colmore. Under his careful eye his squad has ac- complished something which no other in the school can boast. As was said be- fore, they have been undefeated for three years. Beside the efforts of Coach Colmore, the spirit which predominates, not only during the matches, but during the daily practices, is unsurpassable. ln each wrestler is a determination filled with light that in itself marks the keynote of a successful season. From the heaviest man on the squad all the way to the lightest can be found a keen interest in what is going on, with each member of the team eager to learn more every day. The reason for this eagerness goes back once more to Bish Colmore. At one time during the season the wrestling mats, situated in the basement of the Sports building, were covered with water because of a severe shower. As soon as the squad learned of this ac- cident, Coach Colmore, the managers, Captain Tyng and other members of the squad rushed down and mastered the situation. The fact that it was after nine o'clock did not disrupt the work which had to be done. Despite tl1e fact that the season was cut short on account of mumps, the team nevertheless enjoyed a most suc- cessful schedule, and it is hoped that next year success may be attained once more. Laurie Hooper, captain of next year's squad, has been a member of the team for three years, and will undoubtedly prove a wise choice as their leader. The return of George Watson and Jerry Howe will make secure two more posi- tions, and with growing interest wrestling should enjoy another good season. THE DRAMATIC SOCIETY Back Roux' J. lVclIs, Sanflov, W. llllzffcler, Tilglzmavz, If. rllorfon Front Row: Ryan, Ufarv, P. Hale Cl'r0.vizl0rz.fj, J. Bunzvl, D. Green, mmatics URING the fall and winter terms of IPAQ, the Dramatic Society pre- sented, first a drama and then a comedy. It would be well to say here, at the be- ginning, that '4Outward Boundw, by Sutton Vane, was received with great enthusiasm by the student-body in the fall term. This drama, however, was overshadowed by even better acting, in the comedy, 6'Out of the Frying Pan , by Francis Swann, given during the win- ter term. There is little doubt that any production has ever been so highly ac- claimed throughout the School, as this recent Broadway hit. Before discussing further this successful season, we want to say that Out of the Frying Pan was the greatest triumph by far for the Dra- matic Society during the past few years. In early October, the Society decided on giving 'i0utward Boundu, and soon afterwards, rehearsals began. To pick out one single star would be impossible. There were at least five characters who were outstanding. Head- ing the list were: Hale and Bunzel, as Mr. Lingley and Tom Prior, Ryan and Sandoe, as Henry and Ann, and Jones, from the fourth form, as Mrs. Midget. In respective performances, both Hale and Bunzel were excellent. The former put over cleverly, the character of the obnoxious, thoughtless, Mr. Lingley. The latter portrayed the sensitive Tom Prior, with exceeding skill. To pass on, without mention of Jones, would be un- fair. To those who saw his rendition of Mrs. Midget, there will always remain the thought of beauty and pathos. But aside from the acting itself, there was one other point that should be mentioned. Throughout the play, there were lighting effects which would do justice to a professional production. It was through the tireless efforts of Mr. Hayes, that such lighting was possible. A scale model of the stage was con- structed, and from it, all the actual effects were planned. ln the final production, the work of Mr. Hayes was revealed. It is no exaggeration to say that, with- out this lighting, many of the shadowy effects of the play would have been lost, Thus, with the aid of amazing lighting, and the fine support of all nine players, the Dramatic Society was able to put on this drama, as a Worthy successor to such former Kent School pro- ductions as 'iMr. Pim Passes Byu, and 4'Arms and the Man. At the start of the winter term, the Society, having just finished an English drama, decided to attempt an American comedy. It did not take long to choose Out of the Frying Pang. Immediately after this decision, tryouts for the final cast were begun. Again the names of Bunzel and Hale appeared at the top of the list, and again the two lovers, Ryan and Sandoe were in demand. Along with these stalwarts, a quartet of third formers was introduced into the cast. Of their parts, we shall speak more presently. The play HOut of the Frying Panu, was the first American comedy to be given at the School. It was a big under- taking, and in addition to this, Mr. Baker had to secure more players to fill the requirements of a twelve man cast. After carefully picking his actors, he once again introduced the schedule of an houris practice each day. And thus, the play began to take shape. VVeek after week passed by, and finally the dress- rehearsal was reached. As has already been said, the play, given to the School on a VVednesday night, was a tremendous success. There was Phil Hale as George Bodell. Our President of the Society seemed to fit the part like a glove. Then there was that inseparable pair, Ryan and Sandoe, as Marge. Supporting these three were VVarren, Boyd, VVells and Fitzgerald. Tony and But the most amusing couple, we leave till last. It was the com- bination of Bunzel and Bunzel. For it was Bunzel, the younger, whom lVIr. Baker uncovered as his future star. And as the squeaky-voiced Dottie Co- burn, he was unsurpassed. Wlho will forget the scene in which Bunzel makes love to Bunzel? In addition, a fine group of third formers, Crane, Burland and James, rounded out the cast. The production was so successful that it was decided to present it in town. That is the reason for the first showing coming on a Vilednesday night. As a benefit performance for the lied Cross, the presentation in Kent netted some- thing over one hundred dollars. lt would not however, be fair to stop here, without mention of the two men most responsible for the pleasure which the Society gave to the School. Mr. Baker worked harder, longer, and more often than all the others. He coached, put up scenery, and manufactured prop- erties. His suspervision was invaluable. Along with Mr. Baker, must go a word of thanks to Mr. Hayes. Through his efforts, lighting effects which never seemed possible before, were brought into being. Thus a season with two such smash performances would not have been possible, had not Mr. Baker and Mr. Hayes devoted so much of their time and talents to our dramatic work.

MQMM m zeaafana Daily communiques from the other world are always high spots for the three hundred men of Kent. Come gmail- timeng come all, and the extremely audible reverberations which echo through the mail-room are definitely a part of each day. Here we see a group of sixth formers milling about at recess, expectant of long overdue epistles. Long after the letters have been distributed, there are always a few depressed individ- uals who refuse to believe that the mail is out. These, however, are soon ac- quainted with the truth by their more fortunate comrades. lg ii - X so ,E is -i TTT? 'P' gays Behold, we see a youth, a tardy youth. This youth, attending that seat of learn- ing which is nurtured by mighty Algoe, is visited by the dire misfortune of be- ing not only tardy, but tardy for the morning meal.

A man of amazing mental ability and possess- ing a potent personality, the Looms, classes are interesting in a variety of ways. His ability to ex- pound forcefully on any conceivable subject, includ- ing Vermont farms, the originality of his ideas and opinions, and his extreme interest in school affairs, have won him a dominant place in the life at Kent. After the Saturday evening meal, dur- ing which the school orchestra serves as a raucous background, the candle-lit din- ing hall is the scene of the weekly Satur- day night school meeting. Here odd bits of news are brought before the assembled student body by the headmaster. Bill Nadal is seen announcing the two morn- ing chapel services and the prospect of a movie at eight o'clock. This shot of the youth of Kent, disporting themselves with their skates on the frozen surface of our friendly Housatonic, is not a shot which may be rightfully boasted by every Kent year book. It was as far back nineteen thirty-six that the student body last enjoyed the scope and freedom of this winter playground. As far down as the cliffs the boys would skate, and the problem of getting them off was not easy. aa., E 1'-1 The lads above are enjoying the sixth broadcast of Station VVRPT.

The 'Year Boo Board ELL, here I am, the Nineteen Forty-Two Year Book, and my success or failure is due to the fellows who created me, the Year Book Board. Quite a bunch they are, dug out of every nook and cranny of the class. You know, a volume of my sort covers rather a variety of items, such as extra-curricular activities, athletics, class organizations, histories, and so forth. VVith this fact in mind, Jack Bunzel, my real parent, who is president of the Board, did his level best to have the divers features dealt with in my pages handled by fellows who. because of actual participation, knew what they were writing about. Jack first realized how difficult this might be when practically every member of the class wished to add his own personal touch to the Book. And so .Iack's very first hours were some of his most difficult, but I am well content with the group he has chosen to represent me. For instance Jay Milnor, who is cap- tain of the baseball nine and president of the school Glee Club, wrote the articles on both of these activities. Con- nie Tyng is captain of Kentis mighty grapplers and also a prominent oarsman. VVho was better qualified than he to write the story of our successful wrestling team and last year's crew? Lud Ashely has been the mainstay of Kent football and basketball teams for years, fortunately, we think, his descriptive phrases on these sports ring as true as his dashes through center. Ernie Biglow covered the tennis situation from the position of a player and the fathers and mothers association from the view point of a man who knows. Bobby Sandoe borrowed grace from his future state and came through with the Alumni Association article. Tilly CWild Billj Tilghman, that paladin of the press, wrote the stormy year's history of the Kent News whose clarion voice he, as president, has di- rected. Tilly also covered the hockey pages in the right of a varsity player of no mean ability. Two fellows who, al- ways excepting Jack, perhaps did n ore to make me what I am today than any other pair on the board are Bernie Ryan and Don Harris. These fellows rolled up their sleeves and pitched right in to help Jack with everything from writing articles and taking pictures to getting the advertisements so necessary for my nativity. Frank Scheffy, epicurean, lit- terateur, and humourist, wrote the rough and raucous history of the class in traditional style and I count myself a lucky volume indeed to include his masterpiece. Jack often tells of the wor- ried look on Scheffis face as he desper- ately racked his fertile brain for anec- dotes and situations which have become a part of our class.

Photography plays a large part in the make-up of most year books and it is often assumed that the quality thereof may make or break the publication. If this be the case, I am made or broken to the tune of the busily clicking cameras of Dutch Holland, Nick Reid, and the already mentioned Bernie Ryan. Now don,t get the idea that all the fel- lows that were responsible for my crea- tion were these erudite ecrzfvantsg Bill Downing, as business manager, was sec- ond to none, save Jack, in keeping me on a firm financial keel. His task was that of keeping the books in order, and only a man like Slim could carry through such an undertaking. This keel was supported by the Herculean efforts of the advertising board, Tom VValker and his assistants, Bob Morton, and Peter Gilsey and VVare. Jack proudly points out his advertising board as the most successful in the history of Kent School Year Books, financially and socially. They were the ones who skirted the neighbor- ing towns and villages for that thing called money, and Tom VValker proved to be a wise custodian to the others. Before I stop talking about myself and the men who made me, I should consider it my privilege to tell President Jack Bunzel, who has burned the mid- night oil by my infant bedside for many a long evening, and who has spent a large part of his waking hours during the last twelve months with my Welfare on his mind, in behalf of his classmates and Qwith all due modestyj myself that he,s done me proudf, !

He is now attending a cram school in Nlaryland, and is to enter Annapolis this year. Schuyler Pulford likewise left at the end of Fifth Form year to enter the armed forces of his country, but his standing in our class has been given appropriate showing.
