But we of ,44 never appreciated him fully until Fifth Form year when the tur- moil and confusion of wartime scholastic acceleration brought us into one of the finest and most cherished friendships we shall ever know. His sincere interest in the welfare and future of each member of the class, his sage and kindly advice, his un- failing sense of humour will long remain among our dearest memories of Kent.

The reason is simple: the devotion of these men to Kent and all it stands for. This devotion manifests itself in many more ways than there is space to mention. Some of them are their willingness to coach sports as part of their duties, their willingness to tutor any boy simply in order to help him out, their frequent teas for the boys, and their continuous hospitality. lt would be no easy task to find another school where the masters and the boys are on as intimate terms as they are at Kent. For a master to call many of his students by their first names may be unusual some placesg at Kent it is commonplace. When a class graduates it begins to realize just how much it has learned from the members of the faculty, not only in studies, but also in life. Those ever devoted, never tiring men have been teachers, coaches, advisors and friends to us during our years at Kent, and to them we gratefully acknowledge an enormous debt of thanks.

We were the last hrats to whom he lectured from his accustomed seat in the Study. During our Second Form year, l'ater saw his dream of a completed Kent fulfilled with the erection of the Library Building. At the peak of his career. we saw him retire to the revered position of Ileadmaster Emeritus of Kent. Kent is l'ater's creation, and he is the veryjepitome of Kent. ideals. Hy his practicing of the spirit of self-sacrifice and simplicity of life. he pioneered in the educational world in his founding of a new and hetter type of hoarding school. Through his trait of personal self-reliance, l'ater made great strides with his school. advancing it along the paths of excel- lence. Ile has infused this ideal of self-reliance into the hearts and minds of countless alumni of Kent, thereby aiding them in the solution of their problems. I'ater's strongest single quality, that of direetness of purpose, has carried him to the culmination of his 1906 vision. In all his lahors for Kent, he knew what he wanted, sought after it, and has achieved it with admirable success in the completed Kent. An enumeration of l'ater's virtues and accomplishments would he lengthy as well needless. His whole personality and life is summed up in his school. The Class of 1944 salutes him and his work: we look to him with reverence and awe: and we extend our heartfelt good wishes for his continued happiness. The Reb. william Stott Cllhalmers, QD. B.

C, nsaouasvsn To the members of the Class of '44 Thirty-tive of you are in college or in military service of some kind. Twenty-two are here at Kent. It will not be long before you are re-united as alumni of the class of '44, Therefore, despite the changes which the war has brought to you as a class, you now take your rightful place in the history of Kent. I have no hesitation in saying that the fellows of the class who are here this year have done a good Job as sixth formers. The sixth form privilege of serving Kent has meant much to them. Together with the members of the class of '45 who accelerated they have led the school through a good year. UChuckn DeYoe became senior prefect when Jim Stallings left for Yale. Chuck has had the backing and respect of the whole school. I know those of you who are not here for your sixth form year are glad and proud that the often boisterous, always good-natured class of '44 has been a strong form this year. The thirty-five of you now in college or military service have been much in our thoughts. Except for three I hear from you and know what you are doing. Every one of you is doing well. Some ot you have encountered obstacles and set-backs. But in this testing you have BHOWH strength. This book tells of your years at Kent. Often you will look through it and think of them. You will show it to those whom you love. May you show forth to all men, in war and in peace, those things Kent stands for and values highly Come back when you can. God bless you.

For upwards of a dozen years Richard Lee Gilliam has been an important part of Kent life and activity, directing thc glee clubs, coaching baseball, teaching, and, more recently, doling out hour jobs. But even more than these accomplish- ments, we will remember Gilly for little things: his cynical wit, his marked ad- miration of Fred lVaring's glee club, his prowess at touch football, and even his self-conscious but joking attitude toward his receding hair line. Kent boys owe a good deal to Gilly, par- ticularly for his work with singing, not only in the glee club, but also in the chapel, where he persistently Cand some- times despairinglyj strives to create the desired effect. For all these and many other charac- teristics we will remember Gilly long after we have graduated. Embodying every quality that Kent stands for and is proud of. Smokey Smith has endeared him- self to all at Kent. Smokey's ac- tions on the field of sport and in the classroom thwart the im- pression given by his laconic Illilll- ner of speaking. As Alumni Sec- retary, few men havc devoted such time and effort to the school and ideals they love. Smokey's caustic wit, his untiring effort for a better Kent, and his warm companion- ship mark him as a man to whom the Flass of 1944 must point with pride. 'ffm Bill XYorthington is a man of many talents and easy-going nature. His classes in American History, always a favorite with upper formers, are greatly en- riched by his fund of pertinent sidelights on the issue in ques- tion. NYith his classes, chicken farm, Victory garden, aviary and librarian work, Bill lVorth- ington always has his hands full. Every February he supervises the TIME current affairs test, and then shames everyone with his own score. Bill Yvorthing- ton's Harvard green bag and battered moccasins have been a familiar sight for many years. As sole mentor of Chemistry and Biology, Pop NVoods has started many a budding scientist on a career of discoverykor de- struction. Few Chemistry or Bi- ology students will forget Pop's threats to doff his cleric,s collar and speak his mind. Nor will they forget his vehement scoldings of the miscreant who reacts ferrous sulfide and hydrochloric acid, stink- ing up the lab thereby. Being ex- ceeded only by his interest in his work, Pop's interest in sports and its players has made his appear- ance at the sidelines a familiar one.

In I H Qie Wzefecfs In May, 1943, James Stallings, Henry Lozier, and John Biddle were appointed Senior, Second, and Third Prefects respectively. Because of their approaching dates of induction, neither Lozier or Biddle were able to return to School in the fall. Stallings returned for one month before entering college. Their places have been competently filled by other members of the Class, but they will always be remembered as our Prefects. They led the Class during its most difficult period, the first month in power, and during its last month as a complete group. Year What follows is a presentation of one year of the School's activities in sports, clubs-all organizations. It is the climax of the participation of the Class of 1944 in that life, told in pictures and in words. But it far from limits itself to one class, it is the participation of the whole student body in that life, where dis- tinction of class and age are forgotten and ability emerges para- mount. The treatment of this section of the Year Book is a departure from tradition. Gone is the formal dissection of individual groups into separate articles. In this book a new, more informal, and we hope more colorful, scheme has been used. Chronology has super- seded classification. Individual sports alone have retained their old form-that of separate articles-for it was felt that they cov- ered too much essential ground to be merged with the other organizations. With this exception, the dominating factor has been the sequence of events. Thus, we begin with the Spring of 1943, on the next pages, from thence to Fall and Winter, and finish a year later with the preparation for a new Spring and the events which the next Year ' rt. Bo ok will repo E as 5 2 2 5 E f enf C-SCAN! ENT SCHOOL was founded in 1906 by Father Frederick Herbert Sill, O.H.C., graduate of Columbia Univer- sity and a young member of the Order of the Holy Cross. At that time Kent was something of an experiment in prepara- tory schooling. It instituted a system of self-help, something almost unheard of. Its student body, at first scarcely two dozen in number, was governed by the senior class and a student council. The responsibility placed in these boys helped to further a sense of self-reliance in them and, at the same time, facilitated the administration of discipline in the school. Kent advocated Simplicity of Life, SeU'- Reliance, and Directness of Purpose, three qualities sometimes questioned, but adhered to through the years with creditable devotion, nevertheless. It was on these principles that the school was founded and to them it owes its singu- larity and its enviable place in the ranks of American preparatory schools. In 1909 a Board of Trustees composed entirely of members of the Order of the Holy Cross took over the affairs of Kent School. lt has been the duty of the l members of this board to uphold by their decisions concerning the welfare of the school the ideals which Father Sill gave to Kent. Recently, the membership of the Board of Trustees has been changed and its numbers enlarged. As a result, final responsibility for Kent now resides in the hands of the alumni, three of whom are trustees: Mr. Henry E. Rus- sell, '96, Mr. Dominic Rich, '14-, and Mr. Edward Gushee, '12. Father Sill is a life member of the Board. Kent's alumni now number something over fifteen hundred. They are repre- sented by the Alumni Council whose members at present are Mr. Dominic VV. Rich, '14, Mr. Henry E. Russell, '96, Mr. Berwick B. Lanier, '14, Mr. Russell L. Post, '93, Mr. VV. Halsey Wood, '10, Mr. Morgan B. Brainard, '23, Mr. A. Grant Noble, '21, Mr. DeWitt Peterkin, Jr., '33, Mr. Edward T. Gushee, '12, and Mr. VVilliam Brewster, 'Q4. Mr. Kent' Smith, '28, is carrying on the work of Alumni Secretary left by Mr. T. Dixon Walker, '19, who is serving as a major in the Army Air Force. Although an alumnus of Kent may lose track of the internal activity of the school, he is always aware of the job Kent is doing, for he is kept in' fairly close contact with the school through the News and the Alumni 'Association. There are few schools which do so much for their alumni, or whose alumni, in THE COUNCIL Back row: Turner, Baldwin, Gushee, Esmond, Malloch Front row: Barton, Biddle, Stallings, Lozier, Gushee turn, keep up such great interest in their school. Besides the Board of Trustees and the Alumni Council, there is a Fathers' Asso- ciation and a Mothers' Association. Each organization meets once a year to discuss the events of the past year and to under- take various forms of financial, social, and athletic aid for the school. The Fathers' Association meets in the Spring Csee article entitled Fathers' Week- end j, while the mothers meet in the fall. At the meeting of the mothers, held this year on Saturday, October 23, 1943, the following officers were elected: Mrs. Ed- mund S. Parsons, President, Mrs. Don- ald Lambert, Vice-President, and Mrs. Thomas MacLeod, Vice-President and Treasurer. The most important internal organiza- tion of Kent School is the Student Coun- cil. These boys, either elected by the school, or serving as prefects, are charged with maintaining the ideals of our institution and the tone of the stu- dent body. All minor discipline is in the hands of the prefects and the sixth form- ers. Since May, 1943, when the Class of 1944 took over the duties of running the school, there have been a number of changes on the Council. These changes have been due either to the entrance into military service or college acceptance of members of the Class of 1944 who had been appointed prefects. The following have served on the Council: Henry M. Lozier, '44, James S. Stallings, '44, John S. Biddle, '44, Richard B. Gushee, '44, Lane VV. Barton, '44, VVood MCK. DeYoe, '44, Douglas S. Dickson, '44, Francis lt. Howell, Jr., '44, Charles R. Nielsen, '45, Malcolm K. Maclntyre, '45, Dwight S. Miller, '45, Raymond E. Baldwin, Jr., '45, Richard H. Deatly, '45, Roger W. Turner, '45, Robert WV. Es- mond, Jr., '46, Edward T. Gushee, Jr., '46, and Edmund S. Malloch, '46, Outwardly, the school seems to be governed by certain organizations, but actually there is something far more im- portant. There is a certain spirit and ideal embodied in Kent which trans- cends everything else. This spirit and ideal makes Kent more than just a pre- paratory school for college: it prepares a boy for life after college or without col- lege, and enables him to face life with a greater knowledge of life itself. Jifdeti , EL6M6Z NE of the most important organiza- tions connected with the life of Kent is the Fathers' Association. Its original aim was to keep the fathers of Kent boys in close contact with the School. but this aim has broadened and a great deal of financial aid, necessary for the construction of the recently com- pleted buildings, has been supplied by the fathers. lt has been a long-standing custom to reserve for the fathers the first weekend in May when they are given an oppor- tunity to spend a few days participating in the life of the School. At this time, they make a thorough investigation into every phase of Kent life. This year the Association had its meeting over the weekend of May 1. For these few days there was a varied and interesting schedule. Un Saturday afternoon, the l athers watched an excit- ing baseball garlic in which Kent de- feated lierkshire 5-3. Following the garlic were two-crew races between form THE MONKEY'S PAW crews starting from the boathouse and finishing by the North Dorm. A long program in the Auditorium was sched- uled for the evening. The finals for the Lawson-Tancred Public Speaking Prize were held in which three fathers acted as judges. The fathers, few of whom had previously had the opportunity to hear the Glee Club. were entertained by a short concert featuring the Octet. The highlight of the evening was a play. The 1llonkey's Paw, staged by a group of fourth and fifth formers working entirely independently of the Dramatic Society. Pet.er flandler of the Fifth Form directed the production and must be commended for his fine work. After this long and en- tertaining evening, the fathers retired, some to sleep in town and others at the School. The lfathers' Association held their annual business meeting Sunday morn- ing when they discussed what work the organization was to undertake for the following year. Mr. Titus made a brief report concerning the financial condition of the School. Also present at the meeting was Father Sill, Headmaster Emeri- tus. who was prevailed upon to make a speech. At this meeting the fol- lowing officers were elected: President, Gov- ernor ltaymond Bald- win of Connecticut: Vice President, Mr. l. C. lt. Atkin: Secretary, Mr. J. P. Humphreys: Treas- urer of the Fathers' Ath- letic Association, Mr. J. P. Goodbody. 24619.43 5....eZ..!! 560.4014 ACKED by one of the most enthusiastic base- ball-minded student bodies that Kent has had in a num- ber of years, a large squad answered Coach Nadalis call for baseball material early in April. Even though all the scheduled games were as yet tentative, the team worked hard getting themselves and the diamond in shape. lt was a formidable outfit built around a nucleus of five returning lettermen from Jay lVlilnor's powerful and fine-fielding 194-2 squad. Captain Jerry Howe was destined to carry on the duties of first- string pitcher that he had so ably handled in two previous seasons. The Bell brothers, George and 1Vill, had proved their ability the past year at first and third bases respectively and were looked on with great hopes for the 1943 season. Bob Nielsen was returning in left field along with Doug Dickson at second base. Gardner and Nadal were to take up the remain- ing positions in the out- field with Schmitt sub- stituting for Nadal. The squad's main headache was the catcher berth. but Frank Howell was switched from the infield to fill this spot. Don Atkin and Pete Reide- p meister were relief hurl- f ers with Bay Brock as their battery mate. Coach Nadal shifted Dickson to shortstop and put Red Blandy at the keystone sack. With this line-up, the Kent nine was to carry on through the season. The schedule opened, after the South Kent game had been canceled, with Torring- ton High School. Torring- ton has turned out to be one of the strongest teams in the State and remained un- beaten except for the encounter with the Kent nine when they were crushed to the tune of 4-1. Howe shone on the mound and the infield gave him the full support he deserved. Dickson led the attack at the plate collecting two hits out of three trips to the plate. The squad followed up this first win on the following Saturday by smashing Berkshire 5-3. Moundsman Howe turned in one of the best performances of the season allowing the Green and Gray only four hits. George and Will Bellmade many nice fielding gems in this game while Blandy and Dickson led the batting end. 4 4 Tllli FIRST BASEBALI, SQUAD Back Row: lloncli Gilliam, Chairman lloyd, Schmitt, Weed, Atkin, Mmiager liuekimglmni.

Jerry struck out a total of sixteen batters to raise his percentage to over twelve per game. Howe also exhibited his latent hitting ability when he collected three hits in four trips to the plate. George and VVill Bell also had their eyes on the ball this game and collected four hits be- tween them. Dave Nadal came through for the first time in the season and smashed three solid singles. By this time in the season the team was in tiptop shape as the Litchfield game proved. The fielding was just a touch off perfect and this factor aided hurlers Howe and Atkin to turn back the Litchfield nine 4--Q. For once there was less individuality and more working to- gether which is the mark of a well-oiled ball club. The Bell brothers once again came through with some sterling infield plays. Jim Stallings and Ans Gardner proved that they did not lack batting ability. Bob Nielsen collected the neces- sary number of hits to nose out Dickson for the Highest Batter's Cup. The greatest misfortune of the season came on the following day, not a loss but a cancellation of the Kent-Choate game. All season the squad had looked forward to the chalice that they would have to C0-CAPTAINS G. AND W. BELL avenge last year's humiliating defeat at the hands of southpaw lVIcCarthy. The season ended very successfully, however, with a total of six wins against the single loss to Hotchkiss. The second team, under Coach Smith and Captain Chuck DeYoe, had a mediocre season but must be commended on their victory over the Housatonie Valley Regional High School. The annual varsity banquet was held at Hobson's Lake. After the votes for Captain-elect had been counted, Jerry Howe announced that his successor for the 1944- season would be George and lYill Bell as Co-Captains. The following received their baseball K,s,': Howe, YY. Bell, G. Bell, Nielsen, Gardner, Stall- ings, Blandy, Dickson, Nadal, Atkin, Schmitt. Weed received his numerals substitute second baseman. Bucking- ham and Boyd were awarded K's as Chairman and Manager respectively. hir. Gilliam was given an honorary K for the work he has done for Kent base- ball squads in this, and in past years. As the yearbook goes to press, the prospects for the 1944- baseball season are somewhat vague. The only returning lettermen are Nielsen and Schmitt, many ol' the letternien from the class of 194--t having graduated in June, 194-3. How- ever, there are a number of younger players, many of whom were on last year's second team. and they should be able to help bolster the material for this year's squad. Among those who left last .lune were George and Will llell, f'o-faptains elect for the 1944- season. Games with other league teams have been scheduled already, although many of them are tentative at this writing. However, there is good reason to prophesy that the team will have a good schedule, much the same as they did last year. The 194-3 season included seven games, three of which were with league teams.

For several weeks the pros- pective candidates worked out on the rowing machines in the basement of the Main Building, Coach Colmore polishing their form and making changes here and there in the boatings in an attempt to form two well coordinated crews. ln March when the ice finally broke up, the river cleared, and the weather lost its wintry chill, Bish took the two crews out on the water. lt was the first time in sev- eral years that the crews had been able to take to the river before the end of the winter term. The early start gave Bish more time to iron out the faults of the individual members of the crews. After a short five-day spring vacation, the crews again returned to the river. The first crew was fairly well established, but almost every day there was a new face on the second crew, and it was not until almost time for its first race that the second crew was finally formed. The forms crews under the coaching of Mr. Filson, Mr. Worthington, Mr. But- terworth, and Mr. Brown went on the river soon after the first and second crews. and although they were ragged at first, they improved as the season went on. The form of the first Fourth and Fifth Form boats by the time of the regatta wa.s almost as smooth as that of l3ish's two crews. Un l athers' 1Yeek-end. Saturday. May 1. the second crew was ta.ken down the valley to race the South Kent first and second crews in four-oared shells, for the opening of the erew seasons of both schools. The water on the South Kent course. fanned by a high wind, was extremely rough and constituted a handi- cap to the Kent crews. The South Kent first four crossed the finish line three lengths ahead of the Kent stern four f'l'ime: 32035: and the South Kent sec- ond four finished two lengths ahead of the Kent bow four fTime: 31131. Un Friday. May 7. the first erew. cap- lained by liaurie Hooper, travelled to Princeton to oppose the Tiger 150 lb. Varsity erew. Since Princeton shells are starboard stroked, NYierum was moved from bow position to take the place of Biddle at stroke. Un Saturday, in spite of the strange shell and t.he starboard stroke, the Kent crew rowed with excel- lent form. The Princeton boat jumped ahead at the start and continued to in- crease its lead until it crossed the finish line two and a half lengths ahead of Kent. The time for Princeton was f 5:17:72 for Kent 5:27. Those who saw the raee remarked about the fine form of' the Kent erew. Since the race was Kent's first of the season, the high stroke of' t.he Princeton erew was hard to eope with. The next Vilednes- day, the first crew met the Salisbury first crew on the Ilousa- tonie at Kent in the midst of' showers. Salisbury was unaccustomed to eight- oared shells, but in spite of' this handicap they rowed remarkably well. At the start, although the Salisbury stroke was higher, the Kent crew pulled ahead, and continued to pull ahead until the last quarter mile when the Salisbury crew made a vain attempt to close up the gap of two lengths of open water between the two shells. Kent crossed the mile mark in 5:10 for its first victory of the season. Salisbury's time was 5:23. ln return races in four-oared shells at Salisbury on Saturday, Many 15, t.he stern four raced the Salisbury first four over a CHAIRMAN HARRISON -mu. live-eighths of a mile course. The race was closely contested all the way, Kent taking an early lead in spite of Salis- bury's higher stroke, and Salisbury pull- ing ahead towards the end. ln the last few strokes of the race, Kent managed to pull up to the Salisbury shell to cross the line in a dead heat. The time for both crews was 2:55, which established a record for the Salisbury course. ln the next race, the bow four, stroked by Paul Downing, stroke of the second crew, raced the Salisbury second at the beginning and 1 boat. Kent pulled ahead maintained its le a d N throughout the race, be- ing threatened only once at the end when Salis- bury put on a sprint. Stroke Downing met the challenge with a sprint of his own and his shell crossed the finish line two lengths in the lead. The time for Kent was 2:53, which broke the Salisbury record for thc CAPTAIN BIDDLE ...2W msm....,1 . . we second time in the afternoon. The Salisbury time was 3:03. On Tuesday, May 18, as had been agreed, the South Kent first and second crews combined forces in a Kent shell and rowed the Kent second crew on the Housatonic. The Kent seconds with their fast start gained a quarter length lead and increased it to a half a length at tl1e half mile barrel. At this point the determined South Kent crew put on a sprint which they main- tained for almost the entire last half mile. At the three quarter barrel, Slim Downing put the stroke up in his boat, but Kent was unable to pull ahead of the boys from South Kent, who increased their stroke to a 4-3 and finished a quar- ter of a length in the lead. For the remainder of the week the two crews worked hard to prepare for the Tabor races on hlay QQ, Tabor arrived at the School that Fri- ',hf day and went out on the river for practice on - Friday evening and Sat- - urday morning. The A ' '11. , Tabor style of rowing. 'W different from that of N,' Lt,V' ' S. Kent. was interesting to ' fii watch. lt called for a W lot of lay-back and al- most no feathering. On Saturday the sec- ond crew race was first at 1:30. an early time so Tabor could get home early. After a false start the crews again lined up and the race began. Kent jumped Tabor at the start with a smooth 4-1 beat. and looking bet- ter than they had all season. Captain Smythe's seconds. maintaining their lead. in the last quarter mile put their stroke up remarkably high to finish three lengths ahead of the Tabor seconds. The times: Kent: 4:4-5 Cwhieh set a record for a Kent second crewj: Tabor: 4-256. llenry liozier. number five in the sec- ond boat. was taken ill a few days before the race, but his place was well filled by Bob Locke. The first crews of Tabor and Kent. after another false start, were lined up again and sent down the Housatonic by the starter. Mr. Filson. Captain Laurie llooper's boys showed beautiful power and form for the entire distance of the race and maintained the lead that they rg had gained at the start. The Tabor crew had difficulty in setting their shell up and lost a lot of power washing out. Their threat towards the end of the race was of no avail when stroke Biddle ofthe Kent boat raised it to a 4-Q and crossed the mile marker two lengths ahead of Tabor. The time: 4:38, the third best time ever made on the Kent course.

Wm IIE 194-3 Tennis Team had one of the latest starts in many years be- cause of a delayed live day Spring vacation. The boys worked hard on the courts after their return, but they did not have an opportunity to play before the end of April. What with the war and bad weather, the Team played only tive matches and. of these, lost two. This year there was an innovation, in that the First Team received uniforms. The shirts were white with blue trimmings on the sleeves and neck. and with KENT spelled out across the front. The trousers were white with blue stripes down the sides. The 151-1-3 Tennis Squad had four re- turning lettermen and several up and coming members of the previous year's Second Team. With this strong squad it looked as though the Blue and Gray would have a successful season. The initial contest was held May 1 and was played on the home courts. The First Team defeated a weak Berkshire team, 7-0. There proved to be little com- petition in this first match for the home team: not a single match went into three sets, and the netmen took an easy win. The second match of the season was played against South Kent and this also proved to be an unbalanced contest, the final score being 8-1 in favor of Kent. South Kent generally plays the Kent Second Squad, but because this year they had an unusually strong team, they were pitted against the first Blue and Gray racketmen. As the match progressed, it THE FIRST TENNIS TEAM Back Row: Coach Freeman, Manager Stevens, Parsons, Chairman Phelan, Coach Humphreys Front Row: Jones, Lambert, Daly, Captain Humphreys, Blair, Collier, B. Humphreys looked as if Kent would win another shutout, but in the final doubles match Nlunds and Fellows of South Kent won a three set tussle from Jones and Parsons, despite the fact that the Kent pair put up one of the best fights of the afternoon. The third match of the season was held at West Point, where a far superior Plebe team won 11-3. There were ten singles matches, follier and Gaillard winning for Kent. Gaillard played two matches, losing the first, and winning the second, 6-2, 6--ff. Three of the four doubles matches were won by the Army team, Daly and Lambert coming through 6-Q, 6-3, with tl1e only Kent win in this portion of the match. The Team gained a great deal of ex- perience from their West Point defeat and on the following weekend van- quished a strong Hotchkiss squad by the score of 5-4. Captain Pat Humphreys played his best tennis of the season against Ford, the Hotchkiss captain. This contest went into three sets, but Ford, the superior player, won, 6-1, 4-6, 6-Q. Collier, Daly, Lambert, and Brud Humphreys won in singles. Blair and Uollier won in doubles, and with this win another victory was chalked up for Kent. The tennis season ended with an excit- ing match with Choate. This contest was the most important of the season. and it was taken by Vhoate, 6-3. Brud Humphreys, playing in the number three spot, beat his opponent 3-6, 6-3, 6-3. This was perhaps the most exciting match of the afternoon. Humphreys got oH to a poor start, but after the first set he became amazingly steady. The fourth match was won by Lambert, who de- feated his opponent after a hard-fought game. Kent lost the fifth match, but won the sixth in a long, exciting contest. Daly, playing for Kent, lost his first set, Q-6, but took the next two sets, 6-3, 6-3. Although Kent took three of the six singles, they dropped all three doubles matches and lost the contest, 6-3. The annual Spring doubles tourna- ment was held after the last match with Choate. The finals, in which Pat and Brud Humphreys nosed out Blair and Daly, were postponed until the day before Prize Day, after the interruption of the Sixth Form vacation. The two brothers were awarded the cup for the tournament during the exercises the next day. The First and Second Teams jour- neyed to Hobson's Lake for their annual picnic, where Coach Humphreys re- viewed the season and praised the mem- bers of the team for their cooperation in putting the courts into excellent condi- CAPTAIN DALY vw fi R V. .K tion and for the fine spirit displayed in the matches. After several speeches, the following were awarded their TKT's: Claptain llumphreys, Blair, lt. Humph- reys, Lambert, Vollier. Daly. Parsons. and Jones. Chairman Phelan, ltflanager Stevens, and Assistant hlanager Harri- man were also awarded letters. After the eight ranking players had voted, Captain llumphreys announced that Ned Daly had been eleeted captain for 1944. Ut' all the spring sports, tennis seems lo present the best outlook. There are four returning lettermen. they being faptain Daly, B. Humphreys, Lambert, and Parsons. Nimiek. Dooman. Green, and Sloeum remain from last year's seeond team. With these eight boys and the other tennis material in the sehool, sin! Coat-h Humphreys should be able to form a powerful squad. VVorlc has already started on the r-ourts: raking. eoating, rolling, and lining. VVith inereasing warm weather the players will be able to start praetiee and get into shape for the beginning of the season. Matt-hes have been seeured with VVest Point and Taft. lt is hoped that matehes will also be arranged with Choate and Hotehkiss. As in the other sports, there will be home-and-home games with South Kent. The leagues are being eoaehed this year by Messrs. Chadwiek, Freeman, Mills, and Father ltossmaessler. The leagues are important to tennis, as they are to any sport, for they give the younger players a ehanee to reeeive val- uable instruetion whieh will be of use to them if they are on the first team in later years.

EAR the close of the School year, 1943, the Sixth Form was granted a week's vacation beginning VVednesday, May 26. The reason for this holiday was to give the graduates a short vacation at home before leaving for the Armed Serv- ices or college. During this period the Class of 1944, who had already taken over the duties of the Senior Class, had a real opportunity to prove their ability in leading the School. On the following Tuesday the Sixth Form returned in time for the building clean-ups in the next few days. On VVednesday evening, June 2, the Glee Club gave an informal concert on the Dining Hall lawn for the beneht of those mothers, fathers, and friends of the student body who had already arrived. XVith much of the usual excitement Prize Day rolled around on Thursday, June 3, and the School had trimmed itself by then for this big event. After the School had their Corporate Communion and breakfast, the usual job assembly was held and at 11.00 A. M. every one gathered on the lawn in front of the Din- ing Hall for the commencement exercises. Following a brief introduction by Father Chalmers, Charles P. Harrington, of the Modern Language Department, arose as the principal speaker of the exer- cises. He stressed the importance of education during critical periods, point- ing out that the two characteristics of an educated man are his fund of knowledge and his understanding of humility. The wise man is he who says, The more you know about a subject, the less you know you know. He stressed the value of religion, a sense of humor, and an under- standing of the relation of the individual to the universe of which we all are a part.

Now, thirty-eight years later, Kent School is worth something in the neigh- borhood of El'S1,300,000, its property in- cludes some 900 acres of land, a dozen buildings, and its enrollment has in- creased to over 300. In 1907 Father Sill moved Kent School from the original site down the river to the present location, which was purchased for 966,000 The original farm- house, over 130 years old, now forms the northwest wing of the hlain Build- ing. In 19-1-0, when the Library Building was completed, the Main Building ceased to be the quarters of every Second Form. It is now used for offices, mail rooms, the headmaster's study, and has rooms for returning alumni. The Kent School dairy barn, out- buildings and farmer's cottage built in 1992 at a cost of 5854-,000. Today 'NQTC the farm has a herd of over one hundred pure-bred tested Hol- stein cows, raises some of its own feed Chay and cornij, and sup- plies the School with dairy products and root vegetables. The construction of the trained nurses. The Infirmary was aug- mented in 19Q8 by the It.A.D. House, built in memory of Robert Alfred Da- vison, deceased, who had been entered for Kent 1916. The lt.A.D. House is maintained in conjunction with the Infirmary, houses the resident physi- cian, and affords a clinic and laboratory for his use. In 1926 the present Dining Hall was constructed at a cost of SQQL000. The building houses the main dining room and kitchen, three store rooms, 'a milk pasteurizing room, two floors of bed- rooms for boys and help, and three mas- ter's suites. As is fitting, the most beautiful build- ing on the school grounds is the chapel. Of Norman architecture, it was con- structed in 1930, its cost being covered by gifts from the alumni, and now con- stitutes the center of Kent life. The chapel seats approximately 350 persons, its congregation usually consisting of the student body, members of the faculty and guests of the school. Daily early farm was followed in 19'23 with the In- firmary. which cost 5lS53,000. The building provides four private rooms, four wards, X- ltay and sterilizing equipment and quar- ters for two resident BELL RINGING GUILD Ba k Ro : Davison, du Pont, Fox, Allison, Bullard l'r nt R w: Loomis, Baldwin, Chairman Howells, Miller, Murray morning communion services are held in the chapel, as well as evening prayer services and Sunday communion at ten o'clock. The Kent chapel has become known throughout the state for its archi- tectural beauty and is visited often, es- pecially during the summer, by people in no way connected with the school. Above the chapel rises the bell tower whose bells are almost as well-known as the chapel. They were the gift of Mr. and Mrs. Frank J. Humphrey, as a thank offering for the life of their beloved son. The Bell Ringing Guild, made up of members of the student body, assumes full responsibility for the use of the bells, with ringings each evening and during much of Sunday mornings and after- noons. Last Spring Charles Russell, '-1-4-, was chosen president of the Bell Ringing Guild, but. as he was unable to return to school in the fall, his place has been taken by Harry Howells. 1Yith the help of some of the experienced members of the Guild, Howells has seen change ringing carried on in the best Kent tradition. The first band of the Guild includes Howells. J. Baldwin, duPont. Miller, Loomis, Bullard, Ribble, Fox, 1VIurray, Davidson, and J. Allison. On the second band are Duffield, Steven- son, Spicer, Glover, Roosma, Schermerhorn, Walker, and MaCM3hOl1. ln 1934- the Sports Build- ing adjacent to the football field was erected at a cost of 331,000 which has been paid by the Kent School Fathers, Association. Together with the Field House, built in 1915, and the locker room Annex, added in 1928 Cat a total cost of S33,000j, the Sports Building takes care of the need of space for indoor athletic activity and the need of locker rooms. The main floor of the Sports Building is occupied by the basketball court, one of the finest in these parts. The basement is given over to locker rooms and a large floor for wrestling. By 1936 the size of Kent School war- ranted centralized classrooms and a social center. Consequently, the Auditorium was erected in 1936-7 at a cost of 3394-5,000, to provide an auditorium for school assemblies, study halls for each of the four lower forms. a classroom for each master, and laboratories for the study of Biology, Chemistry, and Phy- sics. The Auditorium also houses the Stickney Library, the office of Mr. Evans, Assistant Headmaster. the Alumni oflice, the Stat Store, and the 1VIothers' room. The third and fourth floors of the river side of the building are devoted to rooms for members of the Fifth and Sixth Forms, and two mas- ter's suites. The most recent addi- tion to the Kent buildings, the Library Building, was constructed in 1939 at a cost of 5BQ22,000. It pro- vides rooming space for over one hundred boys and contains the school library, which now possesses some seven thousand books. The family of one of the masters occupies the apart- ments on the left hand side of the lower floor, while Father Sill lives in the cor- responding apartments on . the right side. The money for the final payment on this building, 357000 contributed by alumni and friends of the school, was presented to Pater on his seventieth birthday, March 10, 194-4. There remains but one step toward the completion of Kentethe recon- struction ofthe old Main Building. The aggregate of buildings which forms the campus of Kent School has been built largely by small gifts from many friends of the school, and is a testimonial to afaith in the manhood which Kent produces. From Field House to Boat House Kent is equipped with athletic facilities adequate for all of the sports in which the school participates. There are three football fields, one each for the Midget and Junior squads, and one for the first 'L if in and second teams. ln the winter rinks are put up on the first football team field and on the field just below it, thc dust bowl , for the hockey teams. Two of these rinks are comparatively new. one being less than five years old, the other being of more ancient vintage. The hockey players also have access to Father's pond when it is frozen over. Basketball and wrestling have use of the Sports Building, as already men- tioned. In the spring the baseball team uses the diamond laid out on thc lower football field. 1Yith careful at- tention this diamond has come to be one of the finest in the Housatonic valley. The school owns and uses eleven tennis courts, all of which have an 011-tou.s'-cas coveringfin common parlance known as red stuff . Five of these courts are between the first football field and the Junior field, while the remaining six are just on the school side of the state road and near the entrance to the school. At the other end of the school property is the Boat House in which are kept the crew shells belonging to the school. ln all there are eight shells, three of which are fairly recent gifts of the late Lord ltothermere, who presented the shells to the school at the occasions of Kent participations in the races at Henley in England. NEWS BOARD Back Row: Gates, Curtis, Buxton, Malloch Second Row: Watson, Locke, President Rich, Handler, Dickson Front Row: Daly, Schmitt, Reid, DcYuc, Barton Missing: Fish rr urning now from the physical as- pects of Kent School to its organizations and activities, one of the first products of the school in which a new boy takes interest is the Kent .'Y011vs. Published weekly during the school year, the .Ycuvs records every phase of the school life. ln hlay, l943, when the class of l94-l- took over the duties of running the school, the editorship ol' the .Yews fell into the hands of -lack ltich, who was able to put out the remaining issues for the spring term before leaving school to enter the Y-12 program at Harvard. The 19-M Board was successful in ob- taining a make-shift News room for the portion of the term during which it ran the Xclzvs. The common room on the second floor of the Auditorium Building was given over for the use of the Board, and a center of activities. ln September, 194-3, when school re- opened, Peter Uandler took over the responsibility of running the .Y6ll3.9'. With only a skeleton of the original Board remaining, he gradually formed a new organization to carry on the paper. Ile added a number of sixth formers to the Board: Vharles Nielsen Cas Manag- ing Editorj, John Baldwin, YYilliam Beatty, llarvey Day, Robert YVeltzien, Elliott Lambert, and John Wiley. Lack of experience handicapped the Board considerably for the first weeks of its activity in the fall term, but gradually the situation began to improve. The greatest defects in each week's paper were the pictures. Because of the war, photographic material has been scarce. and below usual quality. However, with the beginning of the winter term, the pictures in the .Ye11v.s' were sharply im- proved, and, with them, the whole as- pect of the paper. A new feature in the .YCIIW this year has been the Literary Column , taking the place of the Literary Supplement of past years. ln the column have ap- peared articles or stories written by members of the student body, whether or not they were connected with the .Yffws itself. Another feature has been the C'ontributor's Column in which have appeared letters from alumni or friends of the school. This year has been a difficult one for thc Xezvs. Many of its original staff were unable to return to school in the fall, materials have been scarce. and, because of the war, there has been less actual news within the school. Despite these handicaps, the .Ye11'.s' has been able to carry on without in any way letting down the standards for which it is known. Une of the most unique Kent or- ganizations is the Fercle 1'll'f17I!'ClliS. Its membership is almost entirely made up of boys who are able to speak French fluently. lt is a rule of the club that French be spoken at the meetings from the time they are called to the time they adjourn. tvnder this scheme, boys who have had the opportunity to travel in France and learn the language, or boys who are native Frenchmen are able to keep up their contact with the language. lYith Mr. Mattoon as coach, the l'ercIe 1'l7'fIllClIl.S has been able to keep up many of its regular activities this year. hflany of its former members returned to school in the fall and others have joined the ranks of the club. They have had a number of speeches and debates in French and were able to present a mock-trial. ln all. the year has been successful for the Vercle fvfflllltllli-9, and the prospects for success next year are good, as many of the members are younger boys who will be able to return to school in the fall. A great blow to the lfcrclff I'lI'l1Hf'lII..S' as it was to the whole school, was the death of Jacques Dourif in November. Jacques was president of the club at the time of l1is death. THE CERCLE FRANCAIS Back row: Cropsey, Kerr, W. Donahue, Dunham Front row: DeVos, Veit, Mr. Mattoon, Rogers -q----gn, -ns-svn-nu-u QL 1943 cfizrolldafl geaaon ITH the return of only two letter- men from last year's team, the prospects for the 1943 football team looked far from bright when school re- opened in the fall. During the summer, the Athletic Association had decided to play a full outside schedule instead of the intramural system which had been employed the year before. Although material was scarce, there were a num- berof younger players, some of them new I b o y s, w h o Came out for the squad and who eventu- ally turned into well-sea- soned players on the first line-ups. The seasonis record of three wins and three losses was not as good as those of the past years, but, considering the many handi- caps involved, the whole team must be commended for their efforts. In the second week of practice, after vigorous training had whipped the squad into condition, the team began to take shape for the first game. Dickson and Maclxityre, the two returning letter- men, held down the halfback positions: Simmen was fullback and Nielsen was quarter. The line was made up of Flagg and Howells at the ends, Schmitt and Nadal at tackle, Miller and Von Glahn at guard, and John Baldwin at center. Un the whole, the team was light, but it had the advantage of being fast. Against the early opponents, this speed was a deciding factor, but against the heavier teams, Taft and Cranwell, lack of weight hindered the Kent eleven. On October 9, a team from George Junior Republic came down to Kent to open the season with the home contin- gent. The visitors were younger and lighter than their opponents, but in- cluded among their numbers some sur- prisingly good players. Kent started off the scoring in the first few minutes of the game when Dickson and Maclntyre made quick touchdowns. From then on the game was something of a slaughter, as the Kent aggregation ran up 57 points for one of the highest scores in the history of Kent football. Simmen, Dickson, Maclntyre, and Whitelaw starred in the backiield, while honors were shared fairly evenly by the linemen who held Junior Republic to two first downs. Although the game afforded little opposition for the Kent team, it did provide a chance for them to work together and show their mettle. Also the game gave most of the squad an opportunity to play, as thirty players saw action. The line-up for the second game, the first of two with Berkshire. was un- changed. On October 16 the Green and VVhite travelled to Kent to try their luck with the yet unscored-upon Blue and Qr X' ' ' .4 316' Q- gm, - 1 '- 5 P'11-s, gf.. -' '1R.,f- f . - ..1-Lrw '- v Hx 'QTTLH- ff, iw..-1 -9 X- :- f' -M ' L L' ,f'4.-,341',i2h- N M N. nalfdfmftl 'low Wu if Nvffxtqy ,.- ,4k., , Qgu v WQV, ,fn , .. ,af'k:,5f.,M .. - L: a-,,...:f' , Mr A, .

Later in the half Sim- men went over from the 5-yard line for another score. Near the close of the game, Frank Howell tossed to Whitelaw for the final tally. Unfortunately Bob Nielsen broke two ribs in the game and was unable to play for the remainder of the season. Lane Barton, who had been elected captain for the 194-3 season, was unable to return to school in the fall. He is now serving in the U. S. Army. Before the return Berkshire game, Malcolm Mac- Intyre was chosen captain to fill Bartonis place. Having amassed a total of 109 points to their opponents' 0, the Kent team encountered their first dangerous oppon- ent on the following Saturday as they played hosts to the Cranwell eleven. The visitors employed a T-formation which completely baffled the Kent squad until late in the second period. MacIntyre received the opening kick-off and was downed on his own 28-yard line. A thirty-yard gain on the first play was fol- lowed shortly later by a touchdown pass from Dickson to Howells. Lambert con- verted, and the score, after only a few minutes of play, was 7-0 in favor of Kent. However, Cranwell soon came back with a long sustained march, featuring T-formation plays, to tally. On the play after the Cranwell kick-off, Doug Dick- son took the ball for a twenty- yard gain, but fractured his leg when he was tackled, and was lost to the team for the rest of the season. Kent had not yet mastered a T-formation defense, and Cran- well was able to score again before the half. Going into the third period the score was 12-7 in their favor. After the Kent kick-off, the visitors were unable to advance, and Kent took over the ball on their own 21 after a Cranwell punt. Simmen carried to the Cranwell 46, and Whitelaw went off tackle for 11 yards. A pass to Cady put the ball on the 20. After three plays had been stopped, Whitelaw went over for a touchdown, returning the lead to Kent, 13-12. XVith the Kent line holding their line plays, the Cranwell contingent turned to the air, and completed their only pass for a fifty- yard touchdown near the end of the third quarter. Kent was unable to tally again, and the game ended in their first defeat, 19-13. On November 13, the team travelled to Nvatertown for the big game of the sea- son with Taft. Taft had a large, fast, and aggressive team which had been undefeated, and which proved too strong for the less ex- perienced Kent team. CAPTAIN MacINTYRE rElected during seasoni MANAGER DALY f CHAIRMAN DeYOE , l After the initial series of plays, in which neither team gained, Taft's power began to tell. Their first six points came on a long pass. The conversion was suc- cessful, and the score was 7-0 for the lted and White. Long passes and reverses mounted the score to Q1-0 at the half. The Kent team started the third quarter determined, but were unable to hold the Taft attack. Going into the last quarter, Taft led 34--0, and made one more score to lead 410-0. In the closing minutes of the game, Kent launched a suc- cessful passing art- A tack which net- ted them their singlescorewhen Frank Howell threw a touchdown pass to Wlhitelaw. The conversion was unsuccess- ful, and Taft came out on top, 40-6. ln a post-season game, an undefeated Vanterbury team journeyed to Kent to play the thrice victoribus, twice defeated Blue and Gray. VVith a light, fast at- tack, Canterbury pushed back the Kent team, and won the game. 39-6. White- law made the lone score for the home team on a pass from Howell. PVT.

'With the prospects of a game in Madison Square Garden with St. I'aul's, the school team was put to work on the job of getting into condition. Kent had not played in the Garden since 1932 so the coaches went all out to secure a sufficient opportunity for practice before the St. Paul's encounter. Accord- ingly a game was arranged in the New Haven Arena with the Hillhouse High School for the night of December four- teenth. The team, having had only two hours' practice, put up a determined fight before 3,000 fans as the fast-skating high school proved themselves superior to the still untested Kent squad. In the first period, after the action had see-sawed back and forth for the opening minutes, Hillhouse moved ahead on a pair of tallies by Purcell and Simpson. The count remained this way until 3.15 of the second period when Ted Armstrong scored on a pass from Mickey Morehead. With another Hillhouse score, the teams went into the last frame with Kent trailing 3-1. A few minutes of action saw a score by each side. Then Hillhouse tallied twice again in quick succession and Kent followed up with the last score of the evening to leave the final count at 6-3 in favor of the home team. Between the New Haven game and the end of the fall term, the team was fortunate in having enough ice to get into shape for the impending St. Paul's encounter on December sixteenth in New York. On the fifteenth the team went down to South Norwalk to practice on inside ice. On the following day, before 3,500 fans, the Blue and Gray lost to a vastly superior St. Paul's sextet. Kent's lack of reserves and comparative lack of experience took its toll, as the team went down to the tune of 12-2. The only bright spots of the game for Kent were the two solo dashes by Mac- Intyre, as he scored the two tallies of the losers unassisted. The proceeds from the game were given to the St. Paul's School Camp, an institution for the under- privileged boys of large cities. The team did not assemble again until January nineteenth, after a five week vacation. Because of poor ice conditions the first three games were postponed. The team finally saw action on January thirty-first against a powerful Choate aggregation. This first game of the regular season found DeYoe, Shepard and Maclntyre holding down positions on the first HOCKEY TEAM Back Row: Coach Tirrell, Manager King, Miller, Daly.

The team played well in spots but was unable to stop the fast-moving Choate forwards. who dented the Kent goal five times. The Blue and Gray made several breaks, but were unable to pass the Choate net, tended by ltubseman. The final tally found the home team at the short end of a 5-0 score. The following Wednes- day saw a faster and better Kent team defeat South Kent 3-Q in a continuation of a tradi- tional rivalry. South Kent started the scoring with two goals by Hunt in the opening minutes of the game. Morehead came back for Kent with a tally near the end of the frame. After a scoreless second period, the Blue AKC RAY BROCK, Captain and Gray started fast with a goal by Shepard on a pass from DeYoe. lYith the score tied at Q-all, Shepard tallied again near the end of the game to give the victory to Kent, 3-Q. Plans had been made for other encounters with South Kent in a home-and-home series, but weather conditions prevented the fulfill- ment of any of the scheduled meets. The fifth encounter of the season saw Kent come from behind and tie Hotchkiss l-l in the last minutes of the game. Playing on soft ice on the Kent rink, the teams were evenly m a t c h e d. Hotchkiss scored in the second period after repeated ef- forts were held off by the Blue and Gray defense- men and goalie. Finally, after a skirmish in front of the net, Van Dyke tallied on an assist from I'athcart and Swift. The third neriod saw hoth teams playing a rough game of hockey, as Six players went off the ice on penalties. llowever. all twelve players were in action when Shepard tallied on a pass from Schmitt. There was not enough time for an overtime period, so the final score remained at l-l. After the Hotchkiss game, an election was held for a captain to fill the place of Bay Brock who had heen unahle to return to Kent to fulfill his posi- , tion as captain of the 1944 team. Aviation cadet Brock is now serv- ing with the Army Air forps. Nlalcolm Mac- lntyre was chosen to act as captain of the team for the season. Un Fehruary seventh the squad journeyed to Watertown to encounter a team from Taft. Taft got off to an early start as Betts poked the disc past Kent goalie .lohnny Fairchild at 2:35 of the first period. Late in the second period, Taft's stalwart defenseman scored at 12:13 :unassisted on a screen shot. Kent had its MANAGER SEAMAN CHAIRMAN BENTLEY I iii 7 4 , 1 1f,,f, . V f: v,-I ' I 9 3. A tb v-'..

After dropping a poorly-played contest to hlillhrook School, 3-l, the Kent team played hosts for a return en- gagement with Taft and avenged their previous defeat hy a decisive 2-0 score. ln this game the Blue and Gray exhibited their lmest hockey of the season with good pass- ing, checking hack. and covering. Neither team was ahle to score during the three regu- lar periods, and it was not until the over- time that Kent came up with the two tallies. Shepard scored hoth, one at -1-:56 unassisted, and the other on a solo dash at 9:29. For this game Morehead was moved up to the first line. where he re- mained forthe rest of the season. On February fourteenth the Blue and Gray travelled to Lakeville to play the Hotchkiss sextet. llotchkiss started early. scoring three goals in the opening frame. Kent came hack in the second period when Faptain Maclntyre drilled a shot into the upper right hand corner of the cage and followed it up shortly with another tally. ln the third period Schmitt drove a hard shot past the Hotchkiss goal, evening the score at 3-all. Hotchkiss came hack with the final tally and took the game, 4-3. f i s On Wednesday, February sixteenth, the team took their annual trip to West Point to encounter the Plebes and with hopes of a.venging the previous year's 5-4 defeat, in which Ray Brock had pulled the hat trick. However, the pow- erful Army contingent, sparked by players of varsity caliber, easily out- played the Kent men and took the game by the score of 5-0. Nearly all the mem- bers of the Blue and Gray squad played as Coach Nadal used both the second line of Tirrell, Armstrong and DeYoe, and the third line of Daly, Turner and Humphreys. The final game of the season saw Kent and Hotchkiss fight to a Q-Q deadlock. Shepard accounted for the first Kent goal when he took a pass from Maclntyre and fired the puck into the net. Later in the game Dave Nadal took a face-off and made a long freak shot which dribbled past the Hotchkiss goal. Three five- minute overtime periods failed to produce a winner, although the Kent forwards continually pounded at their opponents' goal. This game brought to a close the 1944 hockey season, which consisted of two wins, seven losses and two ties, a total of eleven games. Taking into consideration the acceleration and wartime graduation of five lettermen of the class of 1944, this record is not as poor it might seem. At the annual hockey banquet the following members of the team received letters: Captain Maclntyre, Morehead, Shepard, DeYoe, Armstrong, Schmitt, Howells, Fairchild, Von Glahn, Humph- reys, Nadal, Parsons, Tirrell, and Chair- man Bentley. Charlie Shepard was awarded the Hawley Trophy and Mickey Morehead was elected captain for the 1945 season.

Vaptain Howell, Dickson, YVhitelaw and Simmen were the only returning lettermen and proved to he a smooth-working combination throughout the entire season. llowever. liamher, l3ul'ont, llarris, Baldwin and Tooker progressed admirably and played excellent hall as they gained experience. liven though the squad was continually at a disadvantage hecause of height, its superlative spirit and light more than made up for this deficiency. MAH!! Seaman rx ' rw lhe season opened against laft on the Kent court. Voach Fhalmers told the team that Taft was already half way through its schedule and was an admit- tedly fine squad. The Kent team took the floor with hut a week of practice hehind them yet determined to put up a stiff fight. The start was erratic for Kent and the hall was lost many times hecause of nervousness. lt may he said. however. that the defense was good throughout the entire grarne. Vaptain Howell scored the first hasket just after the start of the second period on a long shot. This was the only Kent score until the last three minutes of the game. At that point, Whitelaw hroke away twice to rack up four more points for the Blue and Gray. The final score was 6 to 39. The team showed a great deal of speed and set up many plays hut this was offset hy inaccurate shooting. Un the next. Saturmlay, the team was host to fanterbury school from New Nlilfortl. During the first half, the play was fairly even with Kent baskets by lfaltlwin, Simmen anfl Wihitelaw. The half entletl with Kenton the short, encl of a lti to 9 score. Scoring in the thirfl quarter was heltl mlown by tight rlefensive play on the part of both squacls. Dick- son ancl Whitelaw managerl to break through to bring the score at the start of the last periocl to 18 to lsl-. The fourth quarter proveml to be the best part of the game. The play was fast. anal Howell, Whitelaw anal Balclwin managed to sink several baskets. The Canterbury style of play was still too fast anal the shooting too accurate antl the game encletlz Kent 22, Vanterbury 35. The next contest was one which gave the squacl the conticlence that was so batlly neetletl. George Junior Republic was hanmlerl a 4-2 to 19 lacing by a. better working ansl more accurate Kent team. The visitors scorenl first but Kent founrl the range when llowell put a long shot, through the hoop. Dickson then followetl with three baskets, ancl l.ambert anml NYl1itelaw each sank two. Dickson matle one more as the periotl enflecl. Kent lt-5, ltepublic 2. The next periotl saw Kent, reserves on the tloor who heltl up the leaml ancl equallecl the ltepublic Squa4l's scor- ing. The thirtl periocl provecl to be an- other runaway for the starting line-up. Whitelaw leml the attack with three bas- kets ancl Howell, Dickson anal Lambert contributetl goals. The half entlefl with Kent in the leafl by a score of 35 to 13. With Dickson scoring four points anal Howell antl tYhitelaw each making two, the team pulletl away to a 4-2 to l-l- leacl.

Tooker then joined the aforementioned trio. and at the end of period three Kent led 36 to 19. Both learns were substi- tuting freely but the Kent substitutes continued to pile up the points. Aided greatly by Lam- bert's 15 points the final score stood at Kent 45, ltegional 25. For the tirst time in the history of the two schools, a match was arranged with Hotchkiss. Although it was the first outside game for the Lakeville quintet., they showed a fast attack and worked very smoothly. The first half was fairly close with Kent goals by Howell. Sim- men. Nielsen and tYhitelaw. .Xt the start ol' the third period the score stood Kent 15, Hotchkiss Qt. The advantage which Hotchkiss held in height soon began to have its effect as they pulled away 37 to 27 at the start of the last quarter. Uverconlidence took its toll as the final score was Kent 29, Hotchkiss I-l. The score book now showed four wills against tive losses. The team closed the I9-lr-It season at t'anterbury with Vaptain Howell. lJnl'ont. Nielsen, Lambert, lioote and Harris playing their last game. The smallness of the fanterbury tloor once rgain cramped the Kent, style of play as the tinal score was H- to 52. There isn't a great deal to say about the game for it was obvious that Kent was outclassed from the start. Howell and l7ul'ont were the high scorers with three points each. .Xt the banquet, HKU awards were made to the following: faptain Howell. NYhitelaw. Dickson, Baldwin. l.ambert. Harris. lioote, t'ady, Sim- men, Tooker and tlrittin. Nielsen thanked l ather t'halmers and Mr. Smith for all ol' their help as coaches and also thanked the school for the excellent spirit with which it backed up the squad. This was done for Vaptain Howell who was in the intirmary. .Ks Hay Baldwin was elected Vaptain forthe next season. tl1el9-H basketball was over. As compared with those of past years. the 1944- basketball season was below average in the consideration ol' games won and lost, due partly to inexperience. but largely to the entrance into military service ol' members of the previous sea- son's team who would otherwise have returned to play this year. However. the spirit and etfort shown by the mem- bers ol' the team made up to a great extent for their comparative lack ol' ability. ltlfletbltll til 'l'IIl'Z Hill- SEASON Kent ti Taft 249 Kent Q2 t'anterbury 35 Kent LQ George Jr. Republic I9 Kent 245 Regional High Citi Kent el-U Gunnery 222 Kent 51 Gunnery QU Kent 15 Regional High 25 Kent 29 Hotchkiss ll Kent 22 Taft 4-3 Kent I+ tiantcrburv 52 DRAMATIC SOCIETY Back Row: Rogers.

Q... ga N April, 194-3, when the 1944 Year Book oHicers and board were selected, no one quite knew how a year book should be compiled or what kind of a future the present publication would have. Since that time, a great deal has been learned: that a year book is a big job and that it is hardly safe from the fortunes of war, conflagration, and acts of Providence. In early meetings the board decided to revolutionize the plan of the year book. lt was decided to place the em- phasis in the activities section on chrono- logical order: sports, however, being covered in separate articles. The ad- vantages of this departure from tradition lay in the opportunity to make the book more informal and in the space saving possibilities. The section of the book covering sports and activities is little more than two-thirds the size of the corresponding space in past books, and yet contains less dull and more vital, in- formal material. Because the war forced approximately half the class to leave school in June, a considerable portion of the work on the book was accomplished during the spring of 1943. Dave Tyson, our astute business man- ager, set to work on the adver- ed a long-standing prejudice and wrote the tennis article, while Dave Tyson penned the crew article. Archie Malloch wrote a stirring and well- appreciated tribute to Uncle Ted, and Jack Rich turned in an appropriate tribute to Pater. Five members of the board, van Deusen, Rich, Reid, Mal- loch, and Biedler, gathered weekly in the Mother's room to collect data for the class history. Van had been elected class historian, but found little time during the summer at Harvard to complete that important article, and it fell into the lap of Malloch who came through in double- quick time. John Curtis put in much time designing the cover which graces the outside of this book. Cameraman Charlie Buxton spent most of the spring photographing both Kent and the class of '4-4 and turned up with some fine pictures. Unfortunately, a fire in the darkroom in which he was working early in the summer destroyed a portion of his efforts and much of it had to be done over. Chuck DeYoe wrote the article on Fathers' Weekend, and Pete Candler tising situation, persuading fa- 1 thers and friends to furnish X gf enough advertising to fill more M O Q k l than half the quota. Ned Daly assisted Mr. Leonard Simpson, the photographer, and super- vised the taking of the formal 3.41 e----- exif' pictures of the whole class.

The results of early graduation as- sumed almost catastrophic proportions. The year book was left with few of its original members, no photographer, no business manager. and literally nothing to hold together the various forces which comprised its dwindled staff. However, there remained hope, and somehow or other we managed to come through. Most of the work was carried on by mail between all points of the compass: Kent, Harvard. Queens University in Fanada. and wherever else members of tl1e board were ensconced. WYhen school resumed in the fall, work on the book had progressed sufficiently that the remainder could be executed without too much trouble. Doug Dick- son wrote the football article and com- pleted the lines of the form. John Vurtis spent a good deal of time mounting informals. and Dedee Schmitt and Ned Daly took over Tyson's job in the ad- vertising department. Later in the year Fhuck DeYoe dashed off a hockey ar- ticle, and Frank Howell was given a place on the board to write the basket- ball article. John Wiley, '45, Elliott Lambert, '45, and John Noxon. '4-6, all did a grand job helping with the pho- tography. Ordinarily all the pict.ures would be taken by members of the class. but the 'LH' book was forced to let. down its hair and call on lower formers. They deserve much credit. A year book is supposed to picture both the school and the class. It has been the aim of the 194-4 Year Book Board to do both, and we hope we have been successful. We have tried to forget class prejudice when dealing with the school, and have made every effort to make the class section as representative as possible of the class as a whole. ln later years the year book will be prac- tically the only tie to hold the class to- gether and it is therefore of extreme im- portanee that every segment of the class be able to find itself represented in the book. ln some ways, this ideal has been difficult to attain, but every effort has been made to achieve it. lf this book-H our year book-fis well received, we shall have fulfilled our highest purpose, the aim of portraying Kent School and the class of 1944.

But he could not quell the open warfare which continually raged in study halls. Early one autumn morning a pile of mattresses in the attic of the North Dorm was ignited by spontaneous eom- bustion. but the contlagration was sub- dued in its infancy when Nlusky Mat- thews, our grizzled trapper, spotted the smoke and turned in an alarm. Nlusky was our real celebrity that fall but YYray l5entley's knickerbockers and inflam- mable temper won him considerable fame.

Chick Downes' Latin class was responsible for a form institution which has never died out. Buck Biddle's Philadelphia pro- nunciation of Latin was the cause of con- siderable merriment. We managed to swallow quamquam rhyming with clamclam , but ibam rhyming with I am was too much for us. From that time Buck was Ibam Biddle. Examination at the end of the term confirmed our suspicions that we were not a brilliant form, but, as in the years ahead. we were undisturbed.

The shell generally designated for our use was the .Ilgo. but in common parlance it was more often known as The Old Sieve or Cleo- patra's Barge. However, we finally learned to set her up well enough for both port and starboard to row at the same time. Olly coached us from a single scull and had no difficulty keeping up. Brooker Bassett was elected president for the term, completely seducing the voters with his southern charm and an intriguing little song that started l wish I were a fascinating lady! Some of the best after-lights rough- houses in the history of the form took place on the connecting hall of the Li- brary Building. NVe bombarded each other with water, paperwads, brooms, and dustpans. The fertile mind of the Kent adolescent left no missile untried. no weapon untested. For two weeks we were subjected to the irascible temper and vast knowledge of Cliff Loomis in English. We dwelt in daily fear of being snatched bald- headedn and Dave Spooner escaped that gruesome fate only by a sagacious crew- cut. We completed our crew season success- fully by winning a race with our Third Form opponents, the first time this had happened in the history of the school. At the crew feed that followed, we fin- ished our ice cream and then spent an Soup Son yn hour shoving each other into the Housa- tonic. The heat of the day made this pastime agreeable to all but Dapper Danu Armstrong who was clad in his best burlap at the time of his immersion. Exam week found us totally unpre- pared for academic endeavour. NYhen final marks came in, Jack ltich and Bob Locke turned out to be the only lights in that vast intellectual gloom which was the Second Form. On Prize Day we watched the Sixth Form graduate. Our own graduation seemed incredibly remote then, but when we went to bed that night we realized that we had completed the first stage of our life at Kent. We returned to Kent in the fall of 1940 to find that we were no longer the select group that had left the school in June. Uur form now boasted nearly thirty new members including such extraneous mat- ter as Zombie Anderson, Herman W'eidenkopf, and Bull Shealy. Life in the North Dorm appeared to be some- what ascetic at first, but soon we discov- ered that by shaking one wall we could make the whole building vibrate, and diversions of this sort made our existence tolerable. Even the tyranny of Richter and Raymond did not dampen our spirits. Day and night they approached us with the question, Have you felt the lash? Whether our answer was affirma- tive or negative, they immediately be- lahoured us with the notorious weapon. They took delight in cutting Ted Arm- strong's ties just below the knot and burning his shoe polish. One night Bill Shealy climbed around the gutter and locked their room from the inside. iVe shall never forget liichter's plaintive obsecration, Hey, Bob, can't you hear me? Let me in. It's your friend Pete! It was in fall term that Dave Spooner, with the financial backing of his room- mate, braved the icy billows of the Housatonic. Those were the happy days of the Meat Congress! Sunday migra- tions to Eddie's were the popular week- end pastime. The trip seemed rather Shadow Pe tc long the first time but we soon grew used to it. However, when the Fourth Form council members started to accompany us, the expedition seemed to have official sanction, and much of the thrill and excitement was gone. That autumn Bonnell Spencer busied himself with the distribution of apocalyptic tracts. Dave Tyson made and lost millions with his football betting sheets. Hank Lozier was elected president again, but notwithstanding his disci- plinary efforts, we preserved the wonted turbulence of the form room. Hank played host to the form one Saturday evening after lights and entertained us in his room with a portable radio and the music of Gene Krupa. Hank further distinguished himself by playing left tackle on Tote's undefeated second team. Mr. Bovie's Latin classes were always entertaining. He greeted us each morn- ing with theninjunction, Have a green job! He then bombarded us with texts of Caesar's Commentaries. How we hated them! They had no vocabulary John Rock u L W af' X , 3 -sa-,iwsew . ' Win , Q K 1 . s I and no notes save the neat inscription on the inside cover: This is a green job. Chick Downes' History class was a period in which we gave vent to our international sentiments. Isolationists Fish and van Deusen were daily assailed by their interventionist classmates. At first Chick tried to appease us by promis- ing to sponsor a nymph hunt on Mount Algo at the end of the year. But we were skeptical and he was forced to incarce- ate us beneath his desk, and failing that, to open upon us a chalk barrage. One day he hit a travel poster in the back of the room and great was the uproar when it was discovered that he had sunk a battleship in Dover harbor. At this time the obnoxious weed came into common use. One Saturday evening Dogmeat Ellis surprised a group of our stalwarts on the familiar triangle road. He threatened to hurl an axe at anyone who ran, and Buck Biddle was heard to emit a mournful, God told me not to. Newt Dwight We journeyed to lVallingford that year and watched our undefeated team battle the Choate eleven to a 12-IQ dead- lock. Thanksgiving flashed by and brought in its wake Christmas examina- tions. Unfortunately, there was a heavy snow fall in exam week and we found snowball fights far more attractive than studying. NVe had a tremendous battle with the Fourth Form one night on Pater's Field, and were winning until their reinforcements arrived, clad in football equipment. Another pleasant pastime was that of going into a. fellowls room, opening his window, and shouting to the boys outside, Here, fellows, have a shotln Jones and Bently dashed into their room one evening at the five and found a veritable snow drift on their floor. We had a wonderful vacation and re- turned in early January, each of us try- ing to look more debauched than the next. We exerted ourselves athletically in the winter term and managed to place George Wfatson on the wrestling team, Brook Bassett on the second basketball team, and Tom Dewey on the second hockey team. We had three form hockey teams besides, and on one occasion out- brawled the Wallis Aggies. Musky Mat- thews continued to trap the wily rodent from which he received his name and he was dubbed Natty Ned the Naughty Naturalist. VVe left for spring vacation in a jovial mood but our return was not so happy. Father Chalmers met us with the news Sam Chuck . ,KMA I in X-6 Blondie Mui that our vice-president Brook Bassett, had been very seriously injured in an automobile accident. For three weeks we hoped and prayed, but on Easter Saturday, just before the service we received word of his death. That evening, in the quiet of the chapel, we thought of him and of all the happy hours we had spent with him. We remembered the words. And soonest our best men . . do go. We made ourselves thoroughly conspicuous that spring when we all appeared in red and white form caps. Spring fever gripped us and spurred us on to bigger and better villainy. A section was given a work holiday one morning and instructed to be-honey the lawns of Kent. lVe secured one of the farm trucks and each time we passed the form room we bombarded the open windows. Buck Biddle was much disturbed, for not only was the study hall in an uproar, but his own roommate had been one of the honey precipitators. The first Third Form boat, coached by Wild Bill Simmons, won two glorious victories over the first Fourth Form boat. George and Vl'ill Bell, and Doug Dickson 1 . l Long Tom Poiss played on the second baseball team. Jim Stallings used to play a spectacular game of ball on the second floor hallway of the North Dorm. Une afternoon he hit the fire alarm. He was forced to hold his thumb on the button for nearly half an hour until Richter informed him that the thing had been disconnected all the time. Lozier, Biddle, and Gushee were elected to the Council that spring, and to celebrate their triumph we staged a gigantic roughhouse in the North Dorm. The ,ggi last month of the term was spent in swimming and sunbathing and the ,ff last few days in writing examinations. Prize Day morning was dull and grey and it was decided to hold the exercises in the Audi- torium. Pater formally announced his retire- ment and handed over the running of the school to Father Chalmers. Fourth Form year found us back in the Library Building. We occupied both first floor hallways and the second floor hallway south. The library itself became our common room and we soon recog- nized the folly of signing for books that we removed from its shelves. Before many days had passed we all knew of Cactus Goofy Zombie Anderson's brief service with the Canadian 48th Highlanders. But Zom- bie could not hold his own against the new and wildest addition to our ranks, Smokey Stone. Smokey taught us how to throw knives and carry lighted cig- arettes through study hall. His stories of bank robberies and train wrecks, though not strictly veracious, were highly enter- taining. The authorities tolerated him for two terms, when it was decided that Kent was no longer the place for George. Black Bill Curran amused us that fall with a series of stinks on the first floor hallway north. The first brought forth his solemn and now famous, The bell had rung: late to bed! Another time he found sixteen fellows in the ucanl' at nine-thirty, and started to expound on the evils of nocturnal bull sessions. Sud- denly he broke off and said, Shealy, what are you laughing at?,' Replied William, I'm laughing at McNair. Curran turned and asked Twitch, What are you laughing at, McNair? The answer came quickly, l'm laughing at Shealyf' The discussion was carried no further. Un that same hallway lived Chick Downes, who, in a moment of mad- ness, had extended a general invita- tion to use his radio. He soon lost all claims to the main room of his suite, and on Sundays he had to drive up Benonc General the mountain to read his paper. Une evening he came into his suite and after rummaging through his effects for a few moments, he asked us, What did you guys do with my cigarettes?', YVhen upper formers tried to usurp our privi- leges and play records on Chickys phono- graph, we defeated them by throwing the main power switch on the hallway. Fourth Form year saw the first days of the Farm Squad. Led by Bonzo Beach. a number of boys helped in the menial tasks about the school farm. Our princi- pal representatives were Ben Harrison, Newt Davis, and Bud Seaman. Unfortu- nately for these fellows, their work clothes emitted odors which were not particu- larly fragrant and often caused deroga- tory comment. However, they did a good job and aided greatly in pulling the farm through a serious labor crisis. ltoughhouses that fall were elaborate. Many times was Lozier and Biddle's room assailed by the washroom mop and wastebasket. Our greatest triumph eame on the night that we made Sc-hmitt's bed disappear. Wray Bentley eonstrueted a radio and an eleetrie hot seat. The former was eonfiseated when he turned Bob llope too high: the latter was con- fiseated when he used it on one of the prefeets. Our first organized insurrec- tion took plaee when we all put adhesive tape over our right eyes and marched into job assembly. The little eoup was wisely planned for the Thursday before Mothers' Weekend so that during the days that followed we were not punished. That fall we had ten men on the second football team but our real gridiron talent was not shown until the Sunday after- noon when the Library liions elashed with the Bedroom Bums on Alumni Field. Thanksgiving that year was an up- roarious one. Many of us went home and those who remained at sehool did not find entertainment lac-king. Fhristmas vacation was soon upon us. From the very first. day of winter term we watehed Bay Broek to see if he would live up to his advance billings. We were not disappointed. Ile did yeoman work on the first hockey team. George Watson filled the 128-pound elass on the wres- tling team, and the second basketball team was made up almost entirely of fourth formers, Anderson, ltoriek, Spooner, Kingsbury, and Weed. Stukney llairy It was in winter term that Smokey Stone wandered into a sixth period math elass about fifteen minutes late. iYhen questioned by Mr. Mellowell, he casu- ally explained. lVIorning silver, sir. Countless of the brethren were enrolled in lN1r.Tirrell's Assume the Angle elub. Lane Barton created a stir one day when he got up at the end of elass and literally walked off with his chair. By February, we did not tremble at Mr. Tirrell's tlum- dering, That will do for you! We were disturbed, though, when he kept us in one afternoon and had us write out Q00 times .Yom fufsons trop de fzruif dans In elasse fr1111ef1l'.s'e.' ' The class of '-1-Q took an intense dislike to Bill Shealy and on no day in the win- ter term did he have less than five hours on the board. He was given steady after- noon work in the News room on top of the Auditorium Building. and he wreaked terrible revenge upon the Sixth Form by drinking all the beer they had hidden up there. Bill Rabbit Dahvid Green and his friends tortured us all year with the delicate repasts which they prepared on their electric stove. On Sunday mornings we used to rise and sniff loudly outside his door in the hope that he would invite us to share his bacon, eggs, and English muffins. Late in the winter term we expressed our disapproval of Buck Biddle's holiest administration by a raucous Ibam cam- paign. Snake lilies were a common sight on the campus, and the climax came when the first floor hallway north was lavishly decorated with coloured chalk and inscribed bed linen. Bill Curran tried to discover the protagonists of the plot and when no confessions were forth- coming, he declared, O.K., you guys, Iirn perfectly willing to stay out here all night. And with that challenge, he brought out a three-legged chair and sat down in the hallway. No one did own up and we were sent to bed at ten o'c-lock. Nick Sid In the spring Buck Biddle occupied the number four position on the first crew and we were convinced that it was he who rowed Kent to victory over Tabor. Doug Dickson and the two Bell brothers gave the form a good represen- tation on the first baseball team, and Ned Daly, a newcomer, showed fine form on the tennis courts. In the council elec- tions, Jim Stallings took Blick Biddle's place as third member. In the spring the BTA operated on a tremendous scale. Dickson received ex- travagant dividends and Barton learned that it was easier to secure a new pair of athletic socks than to wash the old pair. An enterprising group of nearly half the form absconded with thirteen cases of coke. The authorities were beginning to say nasty things about the class of ,44 when we wrote our final exams and dashed off for the summer vacation. Our return to Kent in the fall of Fifth Form year was observed by bacchanal rites aboard the Pittsfield Express. Van Deusen remained with the train until the last stop and then trekked overland to school. Later Sid Howells and Buffy Barton joined Van to make up the famous Lawnmower Squad. Intramural football got underway quickly and Mr. Tirrell's Blues showed the way in the senior division. Later in the fall a varsity team was formed which beat Berkshire and lost a close game to Taft. Basil Up-Jupp X l hico Beak In Fifth Form year some of us lived in the Dining llall and some of us in thc Auditorium Building. Owing to the negligible size of the Sixth Form we took over the former Sixth Form hallway and even the famous common room, gorgeous with a charred rug and an electric clock which lost ten minutes every day. We used to watch contemptuously as Sabu Urane and Bill Blair wandered down the hallway flashing jars of peanut butter and glorying in their naughtiness. That autumn we were initiated into the mysteries of plane geometry. Mr. Mcllowcll inculcatcd the idea that naturally was not an adequate geo- metric proof for either a proposition or an original. The most inspired suggestion in the whole course came from Barton who piped up one day, VVhy don't we study the history of geometry, sir? After Thanksgiving military drill was started. Under such competent marti- Bob Bob nets as Geoffrey Warren we learned to right face, and about turn. Wie were a recalcitrant lot, however, and a mock-heroic parade with broomsticks and paper hats put an end to an already retrograde scheme. We scarcely heeded the Christmas exams, so quickly were they upon us, but we did owe a great deal to Dick Kings- bury for foretelling the propositions that were to be on the geometry test. We returned in W'inter Term to find that Bill Shealy, now Pfc. USNICII. had once again joined our ranks. At about this time members of our form started to journey to New York to take Army Air Corps tests. These excusrions always managed to include a visit to Nick's or the G. A. The Fifth Form supplied much of the athletic talent in the winter. The hockey team, though short on practice and ex- perience, was long on spirit. The wres- tling team rendered the auditorium mephitic each afternoon and then opened the windows so that evening job assem- blies were gelid procedures indeed. The basketball team performed deeds of valour and many were its heroes, includ- ing Dave Spooner who used to cauterize his lungs in the wrestling closet and then emerge with darkness in his soul. Those of us who had taken on extra courses found that we were not given time enough to study, and private study 754 W? swf? f 5 ye wf ww , . A,,, Awe., k,,, 4, W, ,,, ,. M - ....4,.,,,,.

This latter group was the more efficiently run, with a sergeant- at-arms to wake the members up and a proctor who took attendance. Musky Matthews showed up near the end of the term and gave glowing ac- counts of his cruise to Oran with the in- vasion fleet. At about that time some of us started to take a special Trig class with Deac Anders. He delighted us by referring to Shealy as the boy with the hairf, and by asking McNair, a chronic absentee, whether he had enjoyed his golfing over the weekend. Spring vacation that year was little more than an extended weekend and we returned eager for the power that was to be ours on May 1. As it happened, we very nearly did not come into power. VVe chose early spring for a series of escapades which had no precedents in the history of the school. VVray Bentley started a small explosives plant on the second floor of the Auditorium with chemicals misappropriated from Fr. lYoods, laboratory. The authorities be- gan to get wind of the matter when other members of the form evacuated the rooms adjoining Bennyls little den. He was told that his act was plain down- right thieveyu but even after this serious indictment he remained his serene self. He also learned how to change the tum- Griff Bob blers in locks and he did wonderful things to the door of the common room. By the end of the term even he could not open it. A rather unfortunate incident occurred when a considerable portion of the class formed what later became known as the U21 Club and used various houses up the valley as dens of iniquity. This nefar- ious activity was exposed when the own- ers of the homes returned. Had it not been for the action taken by Father Chalmers, the class of ,44 might have had a representation behind bars. The boys involved came off sadder perhaps, but certainly wiser. Necker Reid, roommate of Powder Don Sextdn, was our most notorious hero that spring. One day after Sacred Studies, he was dared to light a fire in the form room wastebasket. Nothing loth, he dropped a lighted match and walked away. Spike Spooner nursed the adoles- cent flame with pages of the Bridgeport Herald. Soon a tongue of fire was licking the ceiling, and satisfied with our pyro- Inaniacal efforts we sat back and Watched our little creation grow. But Bish Col- more, with ever-keen olfactories, dashed in and with the aid of Larry Filson, evacuated the blazing basket. Notwithstanding these and other inci- dents we did come into power. Jim Stall- ings became our senior prefect, Hank Lozier our second prefect, and Buck Bid- dle our third prefect. Stickney Dick Gushee was appointed sub-prefect and Lane Barton was elected Sixth Form council member. Owing to inclement weather, we were delayed in painting our rock. On the first bright morning, though, we set to work and in resplend- ent blue and gold we inscribed our M , We had known since September that many of us would not be coming back next year, and in the month that re- mained Father Chalmers extended to us many privileges which had not been ac- corded to fifth formers before. ive took over our duties. Jack Rich did a splendid job with the News, but looked the weari- er for it. Bob Locke started to organize material for the year book and Dave Tyson, the business manager, had col- lected more than half our advertisements before he left in June. In sports, Buck Biddle stroked a first crew which beat Tabor handily. The Bells and Dickson starred once again on the baseball team and Ned Daly played havoc with his opponents on the tennis courts. Nc ker Reidy Un Prize Day nearly half the class graduated. Some we11t into the service and others went to college. We were sorry to see our form split asunder but we rejoiced that we had been able to have that last happy year together. During the summer a number of the members of the class of '4-4 returned to school for two months of classes previous to entering college or the armed services in the fall. We found Kent a different place in the summer from what it had been during any year. Short pants be- came the latest fashion: softball became a major sportg and rewards of weekends were offered as a stimulus for bigger and better marks. We saw Mr. Chadwick prove his ability as an Indian wrestler and almost everybody prove theirs as poets. We were nightly assailed by all manner of insects-Mr. Chadwick wrestled with these last also-but there was retribution in the form of frequent feeds and weekly excursions to town. lVe spent a good deal of the time search- J ack Rock ing for infamous John Harvey's keys and finally discovered them when the pond was drained. VVe found studying somewhat difficult under the strain of a lack of letters from vacationing friends and family, but managed to do enough work to fill the demands of our mentors, most of whom we came to know better than we had before. Uncle Ted turned piano teacher and regretted it soon when Ned Daly and Johnny Reid took to tickling the ivories at all times of the day and night. Charlie Russell spent the summer trying to see eye to eye with Mr. McDowell, while Doug Dickson gave up his beloved baseball for some- what unsuccessful single sculling. NVe listened to Fred Wlaring every night on Bill Hammond's radio with hopes of gaining some pointers for Gillyls Glee Club in the fall, and gazed all day with admiration at Jim Stallings' persever- ance in wearing one pair of blue shorts all summer. There was ample opportun- ity to visit Pater in his apartment and Russ DeDce hear him tell stories of thc school in the years gone by. All in all we had a good time during the summer session and like to think that we did some profitable studying. VVe parted early in August, some of us to take a long vacation before entering college, others of us to take a shorter one before returning to school in the fall. Johnny Reid adjourned to his fashion- able estate on Long Island: Garry Jupp went to join MllSky lVIatthews and Si McBee in the Merchant Marineg Ned Daly started on a tour of the eastern seaboardg and Doug Dickson took up his seat behind Mel 0tt's Giants dugout. VVe returned the customary two days early to put the school in order before the arrival of the remainder of the student body. ive began to realize just how many fellows were no longer with us, as we heard tidings of Ray Brock, Charlie Skiff, Dave Spooner, and Twitch McNair in the Air Corps, the group at Harvard, Don Sexton selling powder to the Army, and Beak Kingsbury revelling in the Navy. For our own part, we suc- ceeded in taking over rooms and even apartments which were a far cry from the ones we had occupied at the begin- ning of Second Form year. Some of the masters' apartments in the Library Building were turned over to our use, while one ubiquitous group grabbed the room above Uncle Ted's in the Audi- torium. VVe played a repeat performance at the apple farm in Avalon with Cliff A. B. Powder D n I M 5 M r ...W s,., Bull Shep Loomis giving vent to his anger over Daly and .Xrmstrong's hourly epileptic fits. .lack lfllagg ran into an old Scarsdale flame on the farm and was last seen try- ing to get back a charm bracelet. The football team started off their season with a 57-0 victory against a team from George Junior Republic. Seuss Schmitt was the only player who managed to last out sixty minutes against thcln. During the week,,C'harlie Shepard ran his team roughshod over llaltimoron Monk lfiedler, and flhuck DeYoc became more and more proficient. as football chairmen. ln October, Senior l'rcfect Jim Stall- Rastus Spike ings and Second Prefect. Dick Gushee left school to enter Yale and lvilliams respectively. ln the first of two changes, YYood DeYoe was chosen to fill Jim's position, Doug Dickson became Second Prefect, Frank Howell Third l'refect,. and two accelerated members of the class of 1945, Nielsen and Maclntyre, took over the duties of Sub Prefect and Sixth Form Council member. Phil l5oote's pre-breakfast trips to the Dining Hall always provided an inter- esting spectacle of weights and balances. l'hil's equilibrium not being up to par, as often as not, he would topple off the edge of the boardwalk by the Blain Building. After all, he would say, that boardwalk isn't. too wide. Une morning in history class before lwr. Worthington had ar- rived, we were preparing to give Harvey Day the proverbial boot. out the window. Suddenly, Mr. NYorthington himself burst in the room, asked what we were doing and how far it was to the ground. Un being informed that the fall was only a one-story drop, he put. in laconically, Take him up an- other floor. Near tl1e end of October Be- none Gaillard decided that things were becoming too much for him and enlisted in the Ma- rine Corps. XVe packed him off Goldie Van to Parris Island with best wishes. One more member of the Class of 1944 was gone to swell our representation in the services. Kent's phone bill began to look like the national debt when word was passed around that the annual Sixth Form dance would be held in early November. Charlie Shepard ran the gamut of the Hartford belles, Dedee Schmitt put in a certain request with John Roberts Pow- ers, and Sid', Howells ignited an old flame from the fashionable Miss Porteris School. NVe tried valiantly to engage Tommy Dorsey and his cohorts, but ended up quite satisfied with Charlie Barber. Bill Shealy and Jim Stallings turned up for the dance, as did Hank Lozier, escorting a certain young lady. Frank Howell spent the evening demon- strating the latest dance steps straight from Brooklynis famous Flatbush Ave- nue. The remainder of the term flew by quickly, and after exams were over, we found ourselves entering Maclisvxn Square Garden to see the long-awaited hockey game with St. Paul's School. VVe were pleasantly surprised to be accosted by some of our sub-deb friends selling pro- grams, and returned several times to buy from them. Needless to say, they did a good business. That night, after the dis- appointing defeat, most of us regained our spirits over the tables at La Rue. The next morning, we wearily break- Muddy George fasted at the Biltmore and then ad- journed to our respective homes for a five week vacation. Pawn', Yveltzein and Rook Day added another indoor sport to Kent's already swelling rostrum. Their brain- child, the Chess Club, was received with joy by all the chess enthusiasts in the school, and elimination contests were undertaken with vigor. Day managed to keep Weltzein in checkmate for most of the term. As luck would have it, there was ample ice during the vacation. but as soon as we returned to Kent, it disappeared and the hockey team was forced to confine its activities for the first week to climbs up Mount Algo. Captain Frank Howell's basketball team, however, had no wor- ries about weather and walked by the rinks each day with a rather condescend- ing look. Eventually winter came back in force enough to provide ice for eleven hockey games. In the middle of February some of the alumni members of the class returned from college for a slapstick hockey game lack Hugo on the river, and various parties. Johnny lteid, with George and 1Vill Bell, l1itcl1- hiked down from YVilliams, Bob Locke came down from Harvard, and Jim Stall- ings dropped over from Yale. On the whole it was a collegiate weekend with representatives from Vtfilliams, Harvard, and Yale, and an about-to-be representa- tive from Princeton in the form of Doug Dickson who left school the following' Monday to enter Princeton. Sixth Form year has been an odd year. For the first time in the history of the school, elements of two forms coincided to make one senior class. The members of the Class of '45 who accelerated into our class did a good job and made just as good sixth formers as we did. We got to know them well, and we believe that the experiment, the necessary experiment, has been successful. However, the Class of '44 started together in 1939 and meant to finish together in 1944. That was as it should be, but that could not be. Though we did 11ot go forth together, we are all members of the class of 1944. always be able to think of We shall the happy days that we passed at Kent and of the friendships that we made. We shall recall particularly the inas- ters and the many pleasant hours that we spent with them. 1Ve shall never have a complete reunion, but in the years ahead these memories are the ties that will bind us to Kent. . if -Q,....,,,.. -- ,A i., 1- Vw of 1- W - A, , hw ,Liv ,Q 5 . . - , Weir 'A adm., ,,..,g,....
