We are proud to be able to express a small portion of our gratitude by dedicating the 1960 Kent to Mr. John Conover, our form advisor. Throughout five years he has worked unstintingly with us in the classroom and on the sports field, not to mention his imaginative work with the Science Club, and his unusual hobby of making stained glass windows. We shall not forget his tireless energy and his undaunted sense of humor. We salute him as a friend and teacher. Dr. Edward Teller and Father Patterson at the Second Kent Seminar. March. 1960.

SECOND FORM TEAR A short-haired man with glasses and a striped blazer sat behind the desk checking off names with his pencil, handing out plastic covered name tags, and barely hold ing back a cheerful grin of welcome with his facetious quizzing. “You don't have any bubble-gum or chewing tobacco, do you?” “You know that flame-throwers and machetes are contraband.” Many frightened boys passed before this ominous interrogation and then removed their baggage to their new rooms with the help of a parent who would remark. My. but it really is small, isn't it?”, and the apparent assistance of a tall bearded senior who would invariably remark, tongue in cheek. “Oh. well, you’ll soon get used to it.” The families left their sons to explore a new home. Timidity was soon overcome and by dinner at the end of the afternoon, forty-three of these lads had discovered themselves to be fortunate members of a new and excitingly clandestine organization, the class of 1960. During early week, when the twelve year olds were wondering what they were doing in the same study hall meetings with two men named Sullivan, the learning was fast and furious. We were frantically tested again and again for sectioning, lectured on the checking system by the student bank's eloquent Miss Bogart, and then hurriedly shown where mail, laundry, and food appeared and disappeared. The most lasting impression was that made by Mr. Armstrong's presentation of Study Hall rules and the common courtesies due a master, ideas which had never occurred to us novices. The important concepts of job and room inspections, good study habits, and Mr. Otis Benson Davis' fiery written work regulations (almost as fiery as his tests in later years), appeared most significant. Grasping the fundamentals of study. We learned the ropes on our own. often the hard way. but perhaps the best way. Fake form rank was first recognized in the case of hardened phonies, tagged Kepner and Ferster. who shut up the first south's first bull-sessions, posing as third formers, threatening to sting frightened Dave Fuller and Jim Knapp. Another surprise came in later years when we saw Pookie Delevett for what he really was. rather than boy wonder J. Allen F.' the lad who had glanced once around the room. and. seeing no base plug or wall socket exclaimed. Oh well, now I guess I’ll have to build a dynamo! Since then.

By the time big Mike Harper had instilled in his roommate. Joe Bright, the idea that he was big and strong and handsome and fuzzy and couldn't see how the girls could resist him. George Porter and Porky Alexander had already partitioned their room with chalk lines. Hardly seeing eye to eye then, except when toe to toe. they roomed together five years later. The mighty redhead Chan Kirwin disappeared to the third form to replace Toffler who had disappeared altogether. Larry Hughes and Pete May were weeded from the rest of the class, as were Branny Sweitzer with small size 10's then. Summit's own Smith, and Luke Fouke. elected form officers. It wasn't enough to learn all the team captains. Leigh Faldi shrieked out instructions for cheering and singing. Soon, however. Pete Alford, brother of two old Kenties. began teaching everything he knew about these things and rapidly assumed the position of number-one spirit director. Tatro. Boeing. Licorice. Preview of better things. Call Wally Moody. Joe Bright, and Chriss Clapp made the honor roll consistently, and when a second form record was tied with twelve honor roll students for the year, they were exempted from Study Techniques the next year. Christmas vacation came as a relief, but regretfully it flew by and soon we found ourselves trudging back to face a cold, bleak winter and even bleaker exams in terms of results for most of us. But. as innocents will, we made it through our winter term with just one fall. Spring Term came and students of ancient history turned to mapmaking, while others discovered the significance of an inexhaustible water supply. Luke Ferster discovered and utilized an ultra modern weapon, the boomwad. and stinging reprisals of Oh. fudge! were often heard from his roommate’s bed. Some of the afternoons in the can room were so glorious when a plastic wastebasket full of soggy toilet paper could turn an unsuspecting outsider into a stumbling mass of papier mache. Everyone will certainly remember the highlight of the entire season, the infamous riot of 1956. Confounded by the persistent cries of We want a holiday!” after Sunday night’s meal, we joined in. The riot included two marches on the Rectory which that night had no Rector, an almost-successful attempt to cross Freedom Bridge, the placing of the tennis bleachers on the road leading to the campus thus blocking it off. and one long procession along Route 541 as far as the dike rinks shouting at the top of our lungs current songs of rebellion and revolution, where we were temporarily stopped by the entreaties (or more correctly, orders) of Willy Howard himself. Needless to say. we did not get a holiday, but we did have the privilege of a lecture from the Headmaster on the uselessness of such diversions the following morning. Other incidents to be remembered are the fabulous case of Sweitzer vs. Alford with a full courtroom trial in a history classroom which was settled by Sweitzer breaking down and withdrawing from the courtroom. Officers Skinner. Bright, and Thayer arranged with Messrs. Conover and Tiger at the gates. Smith, our form advisors for our years at Kent, to close the year well. The fact of final exams was softened with the relaxation of a wonderful form picnic in Macedonia Valley, after which we all took off for a well-deserved summer vacation. THIRD FORM TEAR The fall of 1956 came quite soon, and suddenly we were back at school again, joining in the first undergraduate reunion of the class of 1960. But this time we were a step ahead of the game. We could expect to start putting on weight, for now we were to sit higher at the table, nearer the benevolent table-head, source of all nourishment. We were greeted by a motley group of new faces, about twenty of which were to become tied to us by the everlasting bonds of form unity. As we came to know them, wc showed them the community way of life at Kent. Although Tom Brew and Dave Baiter had run with the foot- Cartographcr Morris ball boys. Pete May was the only one of us to see action. Tim Griggs and Tyler Smith shone for the senior Algos, sporting a speedy backfield. The former, however, got most of his exercise after lights doing many push-ups. and running up and down stairs for the mighty Jeremiah Sullivan, whose wrath he had fired so often. Be- Lime Pits ing in such well-kept shape. Tim saw a moment of glory, dressing for one game, and getting some good rest. Even without our help, though. Buzz and Drax spirited very good undefeated seasons. Camel Dunn was the object of much pity when he broke his pointed beak, and he has been a sad case ever since. Spike Baldwin rivaled Socks White in climbing ability, being able to handle all the school building's vines and gutters. If a strangely squat and hulking figure flung itself from the window sill into the middle of the moonlight in the center of your room, you were at least sure that it was one of the two. Spike was the kind, and the only kind, that would get up at 4:00 on the morning of his most important final exam and go up to the meadow to go fishing. Re-elected officers Sweitzer. Smith, and Skinner called themselves the “S trio arranged a steak banquet to keep our class going through the term. inn that summer. As a matter of fact. 1960 also provided Steve and Alex as ground crew fodder for Mr. Armstrong's antipoison ivy campaign that summer. The mastermind also pushed a big costume party in the Rectory, promoting form interest and tea party spirit. However, ring leaders Ferster. Alford, and Clapp reneged on their publicized prizes when their decisions were attacked and the idea of the whole affair crumbled with internal politicking. Everyone enjoyed it. though, and the disguises. Satchmo. Elvis, etc., were priceless. Returning from Christmas holidays, most of us hit the ice again. Branny perhaps most of all. now a fast rising goalie having proved himself unfit for any other position. We guess he really did learn to skate eventually after several years of just standing and sitting. Rabbit Skinner captained the new Junior Hockey team and a turtle was seen rapidly crawling about on the second team mats, looking for his brother. At mid year we showed our true worth to the school. Wh«-, more, we won cbe game as g;,, BolIengicr and Umfundis Haggerty led US to second place in the school’s scholastic standings. Being both on the high roll, they soon left our league. New Council representatives Connecticut boys Howie Wolfe. Tony “was late to the meeting” Dunn, and Toph Clapp managed to swing the class down to watch Marco and the Bergers wipe up the New Haven home ice with a strong Yale frosh squad. That completed the first undefeated, untied season for Coach Nadal in thirty-six years. Mitch, rooming with Honor-Roll Kepner (strictly alternating indicators, the latest thing according to “The Blue Bible”) began his gray period with a letter a night and drawn shades all day. Why hide such a noble brow? Fong and the Goose watched a crew race on the school side of the river and brought some little treasures about half of the way home. The antique collectors were to enjoy a pleasurable two weeks at a small happy valley Senior Prefect in a moment of relaxation Representation continued when we put the original Kent version of The Nairobi Trio'' and magician Jose Bright in I957’s variety show. Frank Thayer and Shmoo Brooks played second tennis. Pete May worked for a baseball letter, while six sweated out a season with the second team, and John Skinner. Larry Hughes. Toad Revson. and Hondo Brookfield pulled big oars. Reading The Wind in the Willows” in our English classes helped to bring forth the gleeful Toad character. We watched Neddy Hobbs. Bob Vandervoort. Dick Ward, and Price Gripekoven run up the numerous aisles with numerous other honored tappees. closing an exciting week which sawr Gage and Reed soaked, and Prefect Baker spirited away to a dark mysterious room above the chapel, securely bound. We also watched the hillside turn green w'ith the strokes of ’58. and then plowed through a grueling set of exams before being allowed to wend our separate ways home in peace. Many ‘58ers w'ere be ginning to show their teeth already, and. although w e could not know it then, the infamous spaghetti-bender Nino Inganni was just warming up to a great career as a genial table-head the next year, w’ith the aid of his buddy-pal Simmy. Then, as the momentous day finally came. ufe ran off into the wilds to breathe the fresh air elsewhere. The hockey team, about a million years ago. -. to R.: McClelland. W. L. Smith. O'Hara. Thorpe.

FOURTH FORM TEAR Many of our form came back early for sports to start off the fourth form year, and we eagerly awaited what promised to be a most promising season with Jake McCandlcss' last year of coaching. It was just that, too. with the exception of the single heart-breaking loss to Choate. Perhaps some of the victories were due to the valuable efforts of Pete May and W.B.S. Down on the air-strip Breck and Sleepy Ken had made the team, and later, people like your reporter were forced to find more appropriate names for the undefeated record which the team had. Some of our more reactionary members were horrified to find that the form table system had been instituted in the Dining Hall, and' we were all forced to add to the Golden Rule the phrase “after you've taken some for yourself.” in order to keep body and soul together. To add to our difficulties, we had to cope with the voracious appetites of such paragons of the sixth form 3S Nino and Simmy. All right, who drank the glass wax? Magnificent job. This year was the last of the Thanksgiving vacations and it was properly celebrated by Mitch and Kep. who celebrated so well on the train coming back that they were rewarded a few extra days of school at Christmas vacation. During the winter. Goo-goo managed to break Goose's nose for about the fourth time, and Glick O’Hara caused a mild disturbance when Goober Canterbury locked him in the hallway closet, to spend a few lonely hours in the dark. We were also pleased to see Turtle Ahlborn taking second place in the Connecticuts on Gillis Hamilton's undefeated grappling team. Bill Burton, rooming across the hallway from Slim Tim. met a singular fate one evening. It seems that Bill was making his usual Michaelangdo couldn't have done a finer job. uncomplimentary noises in Tim’s direction, arousing in the latter a paroxysm of rage which did not end until Bill was wrapped around a bedpost crying for mercy, which finally came in the person of Charlie Kindleberger. From that moment on. at least for a while. Bill was loath to arouse the ire of the usually mild mannered Grunion. Frank Thayer became quite popular that winter when he was appointed King Grammie. and graft and corruption flourished under his skillful hands. We are proud to see that his skillful management of this task was rewarded with a later appointment in the chapel. In the Norge. Alf and Goose formed the Gourmet Club, which consisted of pooling their funds for Goose's weekly trips to Dr. Mangles, the town dentist. On their hallway with them dwelt what Panther termed the biggest bunch of hoods in school. Here also flourished the ••Bubble. Bubble. Toil and Trouble. ncw,V formed Yogi cult, and some were even suspected of the cardinal crime of radiator worship, which was at one time threatening to completely undermine chapel attendance. But the thing for which we will remember that winter term most was the appearance of a new face in study hall. The skies darkened and the heavens shook, the day when Walt Moody did not make the Honor Roll, and for the first time that august personage came under the wrathful rule of Dangerous Dent Rouse. Also, a member of our form whom we had thought lost forever, appeared that winter, as Tony English returned from a sojourn to the British Isles. Perhaps it was also during the winter term that someone very carefully shut Mr. Wizard Docs it Again. ______the study hall door with the result that Dent very nearly dislocated his shoulder as he straight-armed the solid and adamant oak. to the amusement of all but Dent. Spring term was highlighted by those lucky members of the danceform who were chosen to be dance waiters for the big spring dance. We smoked legally and charmed our newly acquired dates until all hours of the night, and then re- Tote’s new pair. turned to make our less fortunate members as jealous as we could. The term seemed to go very fast as many of us were busy with new athletic achievements. Jim. Frank, and Colin found successful places on the tennis squad, and turned in rather good seasons for the team. On the diamond. Cholly, Blake. Tyler. Turtle. Tommy, and Mayo made a strong nucleus for the baseball team. No one was fortunate enough to join the KSBC. but Joe was lucky enough to be chosen to accompany the Henley on Thoreau and friend. Better things to come. its journey to England. On the last day of the term, some of us arose in the dead of the night to paint our numerals on the rock down in the valley, and we were all more than pleased to see that 60” shining at us as we trudged to breakfast. Unfortunately we were quickly apprehended and all the fourth formers in sight were commandeered to scrub the rock with brushes and turpentine. As we were later to learn, this was to be the last year we were to sec some of our members. Morgan. Spike, and Pedro Mayo were all to be missed, come next fall. So we sat in on the last job assembly and went our ways for the summer. to return next year with some new responsibilities and many more headaches. FIFTH FORM TEAR In the fall of 1958, most of us came back early for football and soccer. Our hopes of being able to sit near the head of the table were squelched, as we learned that, contrary to popular rumor, there would again be form tables. We were, however, allowed to stay up till ten o’clock, and this, along with weekly Art History lectures made the prospect of returning rapturous. Goose, however, managed to eliminate the ten o’clock deadline on several of his bi-weekly biology marathons. In the fall. Pete Murray’s soccer team went undefeated. and in football John Toffey and Jack Sa- Moment of Repos for Hard-Working Painters, poch. Princeton protege, coached a four-two-one record. The best of the year's sports were highlighted by Fergy's wrestling, and Dates’ hockey teams. On the dormitory scene, evenings were made bearable by such diversions as the Clod” Griggs- Clutch’’ Smith fight which went for twelve three minute rounds. After a close and tension packed fight. Clutch triumphed by the sizable margin of 25-23. Clod” Hides from Camera: Clapp Looks Alert. The Championship So««r Team Stores Again. Some Holiday! Fifth form year also saw the birth of several rooming combos which have since been perpetuated. Igor and Goo-Goo. the famous (or should we say infamous) petty system beaters, first joined ranks on the hallway of the inimitable Fumbles Fouke. a one time member of our fair class. Their room then, as in sixth form year, was rather like a cross between a locker room and a swap shop. Mitch, destined for fame as Kent’s representative to a Student Christian Gathering (in New York) teamed up with “Slim” Syd Smithers. Their room, like all previous and future Mitchell rooms, came complete with four bottles of assorted hair tonic, exotic perfumed letters, and a gallon jug of Bay Rum. But naturally it was severely lacking in sufficient lighting. Those of us who had the privilege of residing in the Club Norge will always remember the Danbury bound Jamon. who on Thanksgiving Night was stopped halfway across freedom bridge, by Lex “The Flex” Baxter, and had to jog several times around the North Dorm field in order to avoid what had previously looked like an inevitable capture. A short-lived weekly journal of sarcasm entitled The Inquirer was introduced at the end of Fall Spring vacation arrived after a long Winter Term, and once again Keppy. accompanied by Harlcs. stayed a week after, out of pure devotion to the school. The gods returned a week early, and when the rest got back we found second crew made up of six of us. Clutch Smith was still having trouble finding first base, and they say that one of his chucks from short went into orbit, and has not as yet come back. As Spring Term wore on. and we do mean wore, our class was distinguished by the ever present grey flannels, blazer, and school tie. set off by a clean white shirt. Tapping was close at hand when Fumbles begged us to keep the “twelve angry men” out of trouble, and avoid a hell week. We complied only after he accepted 1960’s ultimatum on certain matters of current importance. When the smoke had cleared and “It's been a good year in the very real sense of the word” had been said, it was Woobah. Branny, and Tony who won coveted cushions, and Dago was chosen to lead the school for our senior year. Term. Alf and Joe penned the fifth form contribution under the name of Boswell and Johnson.

Our final year at Kent started with the form party at the Columbia Club the Saturday night before Early Week. At the dinner we learned from Father Pat that Sidney Towle was to be an Assistant Headmaster, and Principal of the Girl's School. The banquet was a great success through the efforts of Tim Griggs. After the dinner we made our way in small groups to the Broadway Theater where we were to see Ethel Merman in Gypsy. Our thanks go to Mr. William Dozier, who for many years has paid for the Sixth Form tickets. The next week consisted of answering stupid questions from newly acquired sponsees. and nursing aches and pains received through the courtesy of Big Bob and Little Jack. Steve Gladstone and the footballers started off with three impressive wins, and few of us will forget the wat Clod. Ty. and Woobs rambled against Suffield Soccer started off slowly, but as the team became more tenacious and adroit, they ended the season strongly, with a 2-1 victory over Hotchkiss, previously undefeated in league play. Their final record for the season was 4-4-2. Football, hampered by wet weather and fast opposing backs, finished up the season with a 3-4 record. Late Fall Term. Mike Mitchell carried his mighty brains to New York City where he represented the school at a nationwide conference of Christian young people. Mitch will always be remembered for his thorough and concise report on the conference to the school. Cocktails at the Rectory. Kepncr about to throw coke at Thayer. Some of us had waited for the big dance weekend for five years, and for many, all expectations were fulfilled. With Zombie's imaginative and suggestive decorations, and a “Beat the Russians” space ship theme, many formmates did surprisingly well, even some of the more timid. On the weekend after sports were over, we went to see Harvard trounce Yale at New Haven. This proved most satisfactory to many pro-, if not future Harvardians. For some of us. Christmas Vacation came three weeks early, as the Hockey team bummed around the Southern New England Circuit for days at a time, trying to find a place to practice in preparation for the Hotchkiss game in Madison Square Garden. When the game finally came off. the team lost 7-1. despite a wildly cheering crowd. After that, we went our various ways to enjoy what was guaranteed to be a whale of a vacation. After a brief meeting of the Exchange Club, as well as various other affiliated organizations, we cruised back on the night express to a long and hard winter term in the very real sense of the word. With the prospect of Midyears (the last marks our colleges were to receive), and College Boards, the coldness of winter term became even colder. Among the masters who didn't disappoint us with their exams were Mr. Bredberg. Mr. DeVillafranca. the English Department's wit. Mr. O. B. Davis, and. of course, the Headmaster himself. The only pleasant highlight was the winter dance at which we entertained the good old group from Dobbs and St. Margaret's. Towards the end of the term we were entertained by a group of Westover debaters who drew a record crowd to watch the distaffs (Karen Kroll. Carolyn Lincoln, and Cathy Drew) win over the Kent specimens, debating on the topic. Resolved: The Woman's Place is in the Home.” Trobs: always the Life of the Party. Skin . Loovit, made the Bermuda scene, and the Horseshoe Bar at Elbow. Horseshoe Beach In Warwick: and the A.B.C. will long be remembered. Syd, Kep. and Ty gained a small amount of fame as they were the only ones to retain their gas. tronomical equilibrium. Spring Term of our Diny piuli” d 8‘ last year finally arrived and after the perennial flood-waters had subsided. the stick - ball games, trips to the farm after dinner, sucker killing expeditions, and general tapering off began. The success of the coed debate enticed several sixth formers to join Knappy's debaters. Among these hopefuls were Mickford O'Hara and Demosthenes Alford who subsequently, for membership requisite, had to debate negatively on Resolved: Chapel should be compulsory.” Regretfully they lost. Toward the end of the term, the B.C.B.C. (Bermuda Coral Beach Club), a highly esoteric organization of Bermuda-bound sixth formers, began to hold nightly meetings in the Dining Hall after dinner. Syd. Kep. Tates. Bubbles. Doi. Ty. Tone, and Indolence united. 32 Weekends were highlighted by an occasional visit by t h e Goose who finally broke down on Dance Weekend and brought the Tiger with him. College rejections and acceptances were received the same week as the Dance. We developed a system whereby we would predict a senior’s acceptance or rejection by the thickness of the envelope. Harvard was by far the most popular place, but a good many of us got into other Ivy League Colleges such as Tyler Smith who despite Biology managed to satisfy the Yale requirements. Before we knew it. the Dance Weekend arrived, made extra-enjoyable by the charming weather. Smith and Alford, out hackers Dunn with a million bucks on his shoulder. But the doc still says it doesn't hurt After a token review, and a few not quite so tokenish exams (which included an appetizing morning dissecting pigs), the form party at Dago's was only seventy-four hours away. The hours passed quickly as we went through the ceremonies on Chapel Hill and the pre-Prize Day dinner. Then our last and most enjoyable Chapel service ended, we made our last goodbyes. and we went our separate ways. Do you really mean it?

THE CLASS OF 1964 When the Class of 1964 arrived at this happy valley, it was immediately evident that it was a truly outstanding form in the very real sense of the word. After the uphill pull at the beginning of the year, it proved itself in all the phases of Kent life. In extra curricular activities, we were represented by Steve Stoner, who played the drums for the Ambassadors. There were also many boys in the Choir and Glee Club and little Pete Harvey sang in the Numinous Nine. Nick Cummings sparked the Second Basketball team, once breaking the tie in the final seconds of the game. On a certain eventful Saturday, Allen Marshall wrestled on First Team and Hal Duel on the Second Team. In hockey. Sandy Macintosh and John Horton played defense on the Junior Hockey Team. In the spring. Dave Losce. our form president, was an outstanding starting pitcher for Second Team. Bob Edwards was the starting shortstop. Academically we had our moment of glory when Hugh Windy” Hazelton led the school. He led the form most of the time, but Ric Beardsley and Allen Marshall each led the form for an indicator. Our form officers should not be left out of the picture. They were Dave Losee, Pete Smith and Buck Coyne. Some Dance Weekend this is! As wc moved up to third formers in the school year of 1959-1960. our class showed outstanding characteristics in the fields of academics and athletics. When our last year's members returned, we found nineteen new boys who were quickly accepted and many of which became our foremost leaders. In the fall we were represented in the Council by Schwable. Neely and Brooks. Jim Brooks lettered on the varsity soccer team while Dick Morrison won his numerals. Russ Pae. Phil Davis, and Jeff Fugelstad made the 2nd football team. In academics, newcomers Ward Wellman and Jim Hamilton led the form for the fall indicators. Winter term found Romie Glenn and Phil Davis lettering on the varsity basketball team, while Spike Read and Kim Littel starred for the 2nd team. Dick Morrison was outstanding as an alternate be ‘ween first and second wrestling. Mike Brooks and Dave Symonds played for 2nd Hockey while Jim Brooks. Sandy Moore, and Bill Swift led the junior hockey team. Romie Glenn led the form.for Mid-Years. Ward Wellman. Phil Davis and Dick Morrison were elected to lead us for the second half of the year. Spring term saw Phil Davis and Chuck Girdwood make the varsity baseball team while Neil Stringer. Mike Kestler. Bunk Read and Dick Morrison made the second squad. Mike Brooks played on varsity tennis while Romie Glenn and Curt Schade starred on the seconds. Pete Neely accomplished the outstanding feat of making 1st Housie boat in Club Crew. Jim Hamilton climaxed the academic year by leading the form at Finals. It is a safe assumption that our class excelled (or at least stood out) as a unit and gave great promise of things to come in ’65. THE CLASS OF 1963 The Third Form. .. to R.. First Row: W. Barrett.

THE CLASS OF 1962 The “anything for kicks” class returned with two objectives: getting off the bottom of the academic heap and suppressing the rab and the Fast crowd, which wc more or less (or less) accomplished by the end of the year. Sorn Ryan. Tom Carey. Ollie Andrews. Jack Tewksbury. Scott Cauchois. and Sam Watkins played on first soccer. Tom Foukc. Tersh Baker. Gus “Blue dot for sure-shot Gallup, and A1 Hague lettered in football. supported by George Kalnins. the Goot. John Dewing, and W. H. Brine. Dew was our class president while Chuck Hamilton.

Bipper. and George Semler trooped across the tundra to Pater's rink, where George centered first line and received his letter. Basketball saw 25% of the fourth form on the J.V. which won all but—well, they had a winning season. Harold was second in the Connecticuts. Herb 'Fully captained the J.V. When spring h3d sprung (along with gnats and poison ivy), the Varsity baseball team made its appearance with six fourth formers along. Doo-doo at third. Georgie at short. Lighthouse Gus at first.

Scott Cauchois was high on the tennis ladder, and Chuckles Hamilton stroked the Styx aiming ever or the echelon attained by Looney, who flew to Henley. Tex Kalif's voodoo plant started the wave of vandalism that left Watrous' name all over the school: Jon Brown's crusading fight for freedom of the press: Penguin's gaucheries in bug class were among the things which distinguished us as '60's biggest headache. Harmless entertainment THE CLASS OF 1961 The class returned as fifth formers in high spirits for its last year as rabble. We found new privileges awaiting us: Late Night Study Hall (until the wee hour of 10:00), and for the first time dances (even later—10:15). Brute was President with Chuck. Dune, and Tom behind him. An impressive number of fifth formers were starting on varsity teams, with Charlie and Rick being chosen captains of Soccer and Football. The most exciting new privilege was the weekly entertainment in the Lecture Room under the auspices of Mr. Breasted. Week upon week we attentively studied the history of art armed only with water guns and cherry bombs. Waiting for a second attempt. Dates arriving at the Rectory. The long, snowy winter term was alleviated only by the dance with St. Mag's and Rosemary Hall. At the end of the term. Beagle was elected Hockey captain. Chipper chief wrestler, and Wilt the Stilt—obviously B-Ball. At the end of the year, as the tapping ceremony rolled around, we apprehensively waited to see who our new officers would be. Art Van Brunt was to be the new Head Manager. Chip Strang Library Proctor. Tim Carnes Dining Hall Steward. Dave Waters News head. Bill Quayle Verger, and Tom Harvey Sacristan.

Captain Steve Gladstone. Coaches Mattoon. Toffey. and Sapoch. FIRST FOOTBALL offense, sparked by Tyler and Blake Smith. Alan Hague. Doug Ahlborn. and Tim Griggs, played its best against that team in several years. Ahlborn went wild with an 81 yard run in the second period, and was amply backed up by a smoothly working group of blockers. On defense. Tony Dunn did a magnificent job at end. and the tough line of Bill Burton. Rick Dawkins. Colin Brooks, and Chris Kirkland kept Choate gains to a minimum. Kent showed constant superiority to Choate in ball handling and defensive play, and won the game by a score of 24-12. At Newport a week later, the team beat St. George’s School by a score of 16-12. Tyler and Blake were both effective runners, and Alan Hague threw two touchdown passes. This year's varsity football team was marked by some of the best spirit seen at Kent in recent years, but unfortunately a combination of poor weather conditions and a lack of needed scoring potential brought the season to a dose with a losing record. In the first game of the season, against Choate, the Tyler Smith skirt right end.

The next weekend Kent outscorcd the Suffield Acad emy 52-36 with two touchdowns by Tyler Smith, two by Blake Smith, and three by Tim Griggs. In this game the team showed its full scoring potential as Dave Baiter. Chris Kirkland, and Steve Gladstone opened gaping holes in the Suffield forward wall, and backs Branny Sweitzer and Dago Springs led the attack beautifully. In the best defensive effort seen at Kent in years, the team lost a very close game to Trinity-Pawling because Kent did not use their breaks to the same advantage that T-P did. and the visitors won 12-6 on a muddy field. Tim Griggs scored early in the game, and Kent appeared to be on its way to another win. Tony Dunn. Rick Dawkins. Bill Burton, and Steve Gladstone contained the T-P offense until late in tbe game when they scored twice, the second time on a pass interception. In what turned out to be a combination football game-swimming meet. Hotchkiss won their first game from Kent in five years. Tyler and Blake could not keep pace with the Hotchkiss ariels. but the defensive line of Colin Brooks. Steve Gladstone. Skip Smith, captain-elect Rick Dawkins, and Dave Baiter held the opposition's running attack to a minimum. However. Bill Burton and Tony Dunn, both out with injuries, were sorely missed because the Hotchkiss backs had all the time they needed to complete their passes. Ty outruns Choaties. Pitas : You're ruining my form! Blake Smith readies for pass as Griggs throws block at T.P. Before a large Dance Weekend crowd Kent continued to be jinxed by the teams who. for so long, had been beaten by the Blue and Gray. Loomis, after a famine of six years, beat Kent 26-0 and reeained the Loomis Spoon. Kent also lost to a very spirited Taft team in the fourth consecutive muddy game of the season. Whether or not the element of mud had anything to do with the squad's poor showing in the last four games is debatable. but it should be noted that the team scored 92 points in the first three games which were played on dry fields, but only six in the next four. At the banquet at the end of the season, the team was congratulated for its undying spirit and drive, and the awards were presented.

Second Football Although this year's second football team compiled an unimpressive 1-2 record, they did not consider it an unsuccessful season. Starting the year with only a few members returning from last year's squad, the coaches worked on perfecting basic skills like running, tackling, passing, and blocking. During the month of practice before its first game, the inexperienced team had several scrimmages with the South Kent varsity and improved enormously. However, the scrimmages were costly because Bill Kay and Kim Littel. first-string backs, suffered severe shoulder injuries and were out for the season. The team opened the season against Trinity-Pawling at Kent and won 14-6 over the strong visitors. Bill Quayle and Sid Towle excelled in the backfield for Kent and were responsible for the team’s two touchdowns. The next game was with the powerful Millbrook varsity which beat the spirited Kent seconds 25-14. George Semler and Tex Kalif scored for Kent in the second half. Syd Smithers and Jeff Slaughter, who had joined the team shortly before this game, added a great deal of depth to the line. In the final game of the season the seconds met the reserves of the Choate varsity. Choate was well tuned up for this game and won 20-0. The Kent team never caught the scoring spirit it had had earlier in the season. At the banquet Coach Downes announced that a more complete schedule was being arranged for the next season. He said that although the team didn't compile a good record, he believed that it was a successful season from the standpoint of experience gained for the potential members of the next season's varsity. Semler and Nock running against Millbrook. SENIOR FOOTBALL This year in senior club football the Housies punched their way to victory with an undefeated season. Coached by Mr. Conover, they compiled the superb record of eight wins and no losses or ties. The Algos, coached by Father Penfield. had a 4-4-0 record, while the Massies, coached by Messrs. Smith and Grey, finished third. The Housies. led by a potent backfield of Hamilton. Brooks. Girdwood. and Wellman, plus a heavy and hard-hitting line, won the season with little difficulty, yielding only three touchdowns. The Algos, captained by Bill Swift, made a strong bid early in the season, but then faded. Future Aspiration JUNIOR FOOTBALL I he junior football league was championed by an undefeated Algo squad, which was captained by Schwablc and coached by Mr. Rogers. The Massie squad, led by Hallowcll and coached by Mr. Austell, finished second with a 3-3 record. I he Housies, led by Mueller and Neely and coached by Mr. Cluett. ended up in the cellar with a winless record. At the end of the season, the winning Algo club encountered a tough Taft squad which used a complex series of plays considering their age and size. Using a barrel series, the Tafties overcame the Algos 26-0. Victorious Housatonic Seniors They were sparked by Nash Read's running, Pete Longnecker’s passing, and Bill Allyn's blocking. The Massies, due to injuries, went winless despite some fine running by their captain, Jerome Glenn. Nash Read led the teams in scoring with thirty points, while Brooks and Wellman, both Housies. scored twenty-six points apiece. Glenn and Hamilton both had eighteen points. In the outside game with Taft, the Housies were defeated by a much heavier squad 22-0. despite many fine runs by the backfield. Champion Algo Junior A. Coach Partridge Captain Morrison Coach Pavlovich FIRST SOCCER With only four returning lettermen. this year's soccer squad must be commended for its season. It was a difficult job to organize a team capable of working together. As the season progressed, the team, under the able direction of coaches Partridge and Pavlovich, proved that it was able to bounce back after a disappointing start. The returning lettermen were Bruce Morrison. Tom Stanton. Breck Alexander, and Whitney McClelland. Under the leadership of these men. the team was able to overcome the handicap of inexperience. Hopes were high for the Choate game. Kent scored the initial goal. But Choate was out for revenge for the 7-1 beating they had taken the year before. They got it. The weakness of the team to work together showed up in this game. In the second game of the season against Kingswood. the team showed a marked improvement. Although hindered by rain and forced to play on the club field. Kent dominated the play for the majority of the game. However, the line failed to take advantage of its numerous opportunities. Kingswood managed to penetrate the Kent defense and score on four fast breakaway plays. This second loss was discouraging, but the team did not give up.

With three games, which provided badly needed experience, behind them, the soccer team was determined to beat Taft. They did so in seventy minutes. With the score tied at 1-1, the game went into double overtime. The line came through with the winning goal. The half-back line began working together. Kent looked like a team. N. Jewett fineues Plagued by bad weather, the team soon became accustomed to playing soccer in the rain and mud. but in the Trinity-Pawling game Kent was unable to break the 2-2 tie in the double overtime. As in the Kingswood game, the score was a disappointment because Kent obviously dominated the play. The team which had lacked the scoring punch put in ten goals in the next two games. Stainback bools . . . Stanton readies . . . Having improved steadily during the year, the team was ready for its last game of the year: Hotchkiss — inevitably a strongly contested bout. This year it was even more so: Hotchkiss needed the game to clinch the league title: Kent was determined to make it the finale to a successful season. Trailing at the half by one goal. Kent refused to give up. Putting on a strong offensive drive. Bruce Morrison, inspired by coach Partridge’s pep talk, tied the score at 1-1 in the third quarter. Bruce Morrison and Jim Brooks battle for the ball. The fourth quarter was a battle with Breck Alexander breaking up many Hotchkiss drives. With less than a minute to go and the ball deep in Kent territory, it looked as if a tie would be fortunate, but then the line put on the drive it had been saving all season. On a pass from Steve Crytser. Whit McClelland put the ball past the Hotchkiss goalie with less than one second of playing time remaining. The season ended in triumph! At the Soccer Banquet, the following received their letters: Captain Bruce Morrison ’60. Breck Alexander ’60. Peter Alford '60. John Ashby ’61. John Brooks ’61. James Brooks '63. Doug Cornwall ’61. Steve Crytser ’60. Hugh Hardcastle ’60. Whit McClelland ’60. and manager Don Stuart. Numerals were awarded to Oliver Andrews. Joe Bright. Tom Carey. Scott Cau-chois. Dick Crosbie. John D’Arcy.

The Captain’s Trophy, awarded to the most valuable player, was presented to Breck Alexander. Tom Stanton received the Winlow Trophy for aggressiveness and team spirit.

CLUB SOCCER The fight for domination of club soccer this fall was vicious. All three club teams fought their hardest to win first place, and it was not at all certain who would win the season as the final round of games came into play. The Massies. although underrated by the other clubs because of their comparative lack of experience, made a strong bid for the league. Reinforced by two cuts from the varsity in mid-October. the inexperience soon dwindled, and the Massies finished the season with thirteen points. Greatly feared because of their experience and potential, the Housatonics almost won the league competition with fourteen points under the able coaching of Mr. Breasted. They began their games with a strong lead which, however. steadily decreased for the duration of the season. In a strong rally at the end. the Housies did. nevertheless, nearly take the league championship. The Housies were sparked by right wing Pere Wroth, left wing Mike McCann, and goalie Bill Burton, who did consistently fine work. However, the team which fought with the most determination, and which eventually won the league championship was the Algos. Through the fine play of fullback Tim Carnes. Captain Bruce McClenahan. and a hard-hitting line, they were able to stay near or at the top of the competition throughout the season. After a tense playoff game at the end. the Algos emerged the victors with fifteen points. Special thanks are due to Coaches McCracken and Bacon of the Massies. Cartwright of the Algos, and Breasted of the Housies. who im measurably aided the success of the season, as well as Messrs. Bredberg and Hustvedt. who refereed the games.

THIRD WRESTLING This year, under the direction of Coach Richardson. the Third Team gained much valuable experience in outside matches, and the 1-2 record does not do justice to either the spirit or prowess. The first match was w'ith the Gunnery Junior Varsity. It was the first time that any members of the Kent team had wrestled in outside competition. Although Gunnery won eight of the ten bouts, the Kent team wrestled well. With the lessons of the first match well learned, the team went to Trinity Pawling to battle their second squad, and trounced them 22-5. doing Escobosa working a stand-up. Club Wrestling team.

T.P. came to Kent for a rematch, but this time they left behind their two lightest boys, juggled a few weight classes, and brought five members of their first team. Trinity-Pawling won, but it was a moral victory for Kent. Pac and Escabosa both did well wrestling against experienced first team men. The real value of the season will be apparent in the winter of 1961, when experienced third teamers battle for positions on the first and second teams.

The team had two exceptional players in Bill Quayle and Bill Burton, the two leading scorers. Kent’s first game was against a polished Kingswood team. The squad, plagued by inexperience and lack of hustle, lost 44-31. Kent then played Gunnery and. in a fine team effort, stuck with the taller visitors through the whole game. However, it lost after an overtime period 48-46. In their game against Canterbury, the team found the scoring punch with Bill Quayle as the high scorer. Kent won a narrow victory 49-44. Kent evened their record at 2 2 with a win over Trinity-Pawling School as Bill Burton piled in 22 points for the team, and Captain Blake Smith played a superb defensive game. He was able to limit T-P’s biggest scoring threat to 3 field goals. Bor� on up and over. Now you have it. now you don't. Kent then lost their next six games to Taft (twice), Choate, Westminster. Berkshire, and Hotchkiss. In this string of games Bill Burton scored 40 points and had an average of 16 rebounds. Bill Quaylc managed to score 54 points and averaged 4 assists per game. Kent’s second victory over Trinity-Pawling came on the strength of another masterful defensive job by Blake Smith and another decisive effort by Bill Burton who made 22 points and 19 rebounds for the Kent team. This victory was regarded by Coach DeVillafranca as one of the most rewarding of the entire season. Command Decision Quaylc in action The team went to Hotchkiss School for their second meeting with the Leagues’ only undefeated team. They lost only after a great effort which unfortunately fell short during the final period. After defeating Canterbury School and losing to Berkshire, the Kent team played Gunnery to find out who would place third in the League. As is usually the case. Kent played their best game of the year against Gunnery, but unfortunately it was a losing cause. Kent fell behind 37-23 at the half, but by scoring 21 points in the third period, the team came within 5 points of the Gunnery Precision work by Mike Mitchell. squad 49-44. However, after a high scoring final period, Gunnery won with a four point outburst in the last ten seconds. by a score of 70-66. At the banquet both Mr. DeVillafranca and Blake Smith agreed that this year’s squad with only two sixth formers, was representative of a building year for Kent Basketball. Both expressed their belief that next year the team would achieve an excellent record. The performance of players like Burton and Quayle doubtlessly contributed to this belief. They also expressed their appreciation for the interest and support of the student body during the season. Bill Burton. Doug Cornwell. Phil Davis. Rick Dawkins. Romie Glenn. Peter Goodbody. Toby Kennedy. Mike Mitchell. Mike Pollock. Bill Quayle. and Captain Blake Smith received their letters. Bill Burton was elected the Captain for 1961.

SECOND BASKETBALL The Second Basketball team had a comparatively good season this year. The team was made up of several players from last year’s team, plus valuable contributions from the clubs. Their record was seven wins and five losses. The team captained by Tersh Baker had a 3-2 record when they first played the Berkshire squad. It was in this game that their scoring potential first showed itself. At the end of the first two minutes. Kent had a 10-0 lead. The first platoon then came out for a rest and the second one fell a little off of the scoring pace, although they decidedly held the upper hand. The final score of the game was the season's scoring record: 66-30. As the season progressed, they won several more exciting games. One of the most exciting of the games was against the same Hotchkiss team which had previously defeated the Kent Team by a large margin. Kent fought its way from behind to win in the last few minutes of play 30-29. Littell on a jump shot There was great improvement in fundamentals and in teamwork as the season progressed. Tcwks showed fine hustle, which earned him a berth on the varsity. Cliff McClenncy had great success in slamming the ball down opposing player's throats on defense. Hilton Clark was a double threat, a good hustler, and unmistakenly tagged a Ringer.” Chuck Hamilton led the team in baskets scored. Mr. Sapoch did a good job of coaching the team and with the team’s apparent success, the future for Kent basketball appears to be bright. At the annual banquet, all members of the team were awarded their 2nd’s by Mr. Sapoch. who also commended the team for their fine performance. CLUB BASKETBALL Club Basketball was won by the Housatonics. Their only loss was to the Macedonians and this was due largely to the fact that playmaker Charlie Morrison was unable to render his valuable self to the cause. During the season the Housics were known for their fast defense, elusive offense, lightning passes, accuracy from the outside, and help from sixth formers who couldn't make the First Team. The Housics B league team won second place with a record of five wins and three losses. The bulwark of the team was athlete Jeff Slaughter whose size and backboard play were the keys to the Housie victory. Coach Toffey's Macedonians, under Captain Syd Smithers. took second place in the league competition with a record of six wins and two losses. The Massies put most of their stock on Smithers whose rebounding and general play-making helped the team on their way. The B league team edged out the Housies for first place. Outstanding Massic players were dashing Hugh Harbi-son. enlivening Peter Off ill. as well as high jumpers Taylor. Withe, and Schade. The Algos were last in League competition in both leagues. This was attributed to the playing of Pete Harvey. Pete Grimm, and Allen Delevctt. The season was helped immeasurably by the unique refereeing on the parts of Mr. Partridge and Mr. Harold Brcdburg. A team made up of players from all three clubs played outside games with Trinity-Pawling. The Housies lost 32-30 to a strong T.P. third team, but the Massies were able to beat a T-P fourth team 42-20. In the former game Grimm. Van Brunt. Parker. Couture, and Jones played for the losers, while in the latter. Frey. Smithers. Mattes. Harvey, and Ryan played.

Captained by defense-man Dick Springs, the team was built around a nucleus of three veterans who had played during the 1959 season: Springs, a defenseman. Tyler Smith, wing, and Brandon Sweitzer, goalie. The team’s first game was 3gainst Hotchkiss on December I 6 in Madison Square Garden. Kent had only seven practices before this game, and the lack of ice- time hampered the players, who took the short end of a 7-1 score. Ty Smith scored the only goal for Kent. Immediately after Christmas Vacation the Blue and Gray were thrashed by a powerful R.P.I. Freshman squad 1,0-0. Discounting the second period, when R.P.I. erupted for six goals in five minutes. Kent played a tremendous game against superior skaters and shooters. Goalie Sweitzer played an outstanding game, making 45 saves, and Smith and Springs played their usual hard-hitting game. Stock advances against Hotchkiss 120 In its first league game, Kent tied Choate in an overtime match. 3-3. Hugh Hardcastle sent Kent into the lead in the last period with a goal, but Choate tied it up with 38 seconds left in the game. Neither team scored in the overtime.

Kent again had a lead in the closing min- Council of war utes. but with Kent a man down because of a penalty. Hotchkiss tied up the game and won it in overtime. Dick Springs scored two goals this game on two solo dashes. Trinity-Pawling fell victim to the Varsity by the score of 7-2 for the team's first win. Jim Mell. Ted Stock, and Tony Dunn did most of the work in this tilt and between them collected four goals. Attack against Yale The team's next two games, against the West Point Plebes and Taft, were dropped by scores of 8-3 and 4-1. The squad was outpowered in the Army game, but against Taft did a commendable job. Taft scored three quick goals, but Kent came back strong, and George Semler picked up a score. Ty Smith. John Skinner, and Dick Springs put in one of their best performances, and Sweitzcr kicked out 37 Taft shots. Defensive play Scramble against Hotchkiss The next week of the season saw South Kent and Berkshire fall by scores of 6-0 and 6-1 to the Blue and Gray. Kent, then, however, lost its rematch to Choate 4-0 in a disappointing game. From this point on. the team could not bring itself to win the big games and dropped contests to Taft 7-2. Williams freshmen 6-0. and Hotchkiss 7-2 but handily beat South Kent 4-0. At the annual banquet, letters were awarded to Branny Sweitzcr. Bill Burton. John Skinner. Pete Conze. George Semler.

SECOND HOCKEY The 1960 Second Hockey team compiled a record of four wins and seven looses during their season. Lack of experience and practice proved an important factor as Kent dropped its first game to Taft 8-2. Captain Bob Tatro scored both goals. Next Kent was edged in overtime by Choate 2-1. In the third game the team lost to the Millbrook varsity by the same score. Kent's next game was with Hotchkiss to whom it lost 5-3. Then Taft came to Kent and smashed all hope for revenge for the first match by winning by a tally of 5-2. Reversing the losing tide, the team swamped the Wooster varsity 4-1 and Berkshire 4-0. for its first two wins of the season. High scorers for the two games were Bob Tatro. Joe Bright, and Sid Towle. The squad then defeated South Symonds and Watkins up the icc A galluping attack Kent and Gunnery by scores of 2-1 and 4-1 respectively. However, the team's brief hope for a winning season was thwarted when Kent lost to Hotchkiss 7-5 in overtime. In the final game of the season, the team again lost to Choate 5-3. Although the record was not a winning one. the team made up for this by its fine spirit. As the scores indicate, it made steady and increasing improvement as the season progressed.

JUNIOR HOCKEY This year, under the direction of Coaches Park and Bacon, the Kent Juniors compiled a record of five wins and four losses. The team lost its first game to a small, but tricky Princeton Country Day team 1 -0. However, it emerged victoriously from its second game against the Millbrook JVs 2-1. The following Wednesday a strong and aggressive Canterbury team visited Kent and defeated the Juniors 6-3. In the next two games the Juniors lost to the New Haven Peewees and a fast Taft team. Kent's second victory was over a scrappy South Kent team 7-2. Despite the fact that Captain Sandy Moore was out with injuries, the team defeated Gunnery by a score of 4-0. It won its last two games by overpowering Hotchkiss School by a score of 1 -0 and mangling Greenwich Country Day 5-1. The leading scorers for the season were Jim Brooks, with 14 points. Jeff Fuglestad with 10 points, and Captain Sandy Moore with 7 points. The quality of certain players is indicative that Kent Hockey has a lot to look forward to. in the years to come, in terms of success. CLUB HOCKEY The Algos, coached by Mr. Gammon, and captained by Bruce McClenahan won A league hockey. Their record was four wins, one loss, and one tie.

Captain Tom Stanton The varsity baseball team compiled a record of six wins and seven losses this year. The season's mild success was mostly because of Coach Partridge and Captain Tom Stanton, who helped greatly to keep up team spirit and the desire to win. The first game of the season, with Hopkins Grammar, ended in defeat 1 1-8. Play was not outstanding, but Bruce Morrison and Tyler Smith each got two hits. The next game, however. Kent beat a strong Choate squad at Wallingford by the score of 9-5. Team performance was at its best: Dave Baiter came through with three hits, and pitcher Tom Stanton lasted the whole game with a strong showing. After losing two well-played but score-short games with Suffield and the Plebes. the team began to show its potential as it defeated Brekshire by a score of 8-3. 131 Tyler Smith wing onf to left field The Trinity-Pawling game was one of the hardest played of the whole season, but the opposition managed to take it by a score of 4-3. After eleven scoreless innings. the Team managed to make three runs, but this last-minute spurt was not enough to win the contest. Jack Fuller pitched his best game of the season, keeping the T-P batters well under control most of the time. This loss was somewhat alleviated, however, by a well-played victory against a highly-touted Loomis squad. 5-1. Blake Smith started the scoring drive on a run from third during a wild pitch, and Tom Stanton kept the Loomis team to four hits. After losing again, this time to an undefeated Hotchkiss squad. Kent bounced back to trounce a strong Taft nine 6-0 before an enthusiastic Dance Weekend crowd. Stanton this time kept his opponents to three hits, and Taft's only threat of the day was stymied by a superior snag in deep left field by Blake Smith. A strong team from Cranwell defeated Kent by a tally of 5-0 the following Monday. This was a bad day for the team as the opposing pitcher managed to keep Kent to no hits. This loss was made up by an extremely well-handled victory against a strong-hitting Kingswood team. 8-7 The result was in doubt until the second extra inning, when kent pulled up from behind with a strong scoring sprint to win the game. Doug Ahlborn starred by hitting a towering triple to deep left-center field. That Sunday the varsity took its last victory of the season by trouncing the Alumni 7-1. Tom Stanton went the route for the varsity, allowing only four hits. Mention should be made of the sharp fielding of Hank Stanton '33. Tom's father. In a dramatic climax at the end of the game, with two out and the bases loaded. Tom forced his father to hit a pop fly. George Semler crosses the plate In the last game of the season, the tiring effects of term papers and a thirteen-game schedule showed up clearly. Hotchkiss, still undefeated. trounced Kent by the score of 13-0. Kent fielding was somewhat weak, as was the hitting, but Tyler Smith hit one long and powerful single. Sixth formers Stanton. Morrison. Ahlborn. B. Smith. T. Smith, and Baiter all turned in creditable performances in their last game for the School. Immediately after the Hotchkiss game, the entire Kent squad boarded a bus for New' York, w'here they took in a night game between the Yankees and the Senators. The Yanks showed superior hitting and pitching all through the game, and trounced the visitors 5-1. On the way home, the squad stopped for a steak dinner.

SECOND BASEBALL The Second Baseball Team had a fairly good season. Losse opened the season with a one-hitter, however. a throwing error gave Forman four runs. Kent managed to get the five runs needed to win the game. In their next game, however, they were outplayed at bat and in the field, and lost to the Millbrook Varsity 4-3. Russ Hines Dashes to First The following week at Sufficld the team played well behind the second one-hitter of the year pitched by Losee. Stenger and Stringer each had two hits apiece. The team's best game of the season was against Taft, which it won 16-6. Bunk Read was the hitting star, as he had a single, a double, and a triple. Hotchkiss' seven run fourth inning was enough to defeat the team 10-5 in the y j next game. Kent then tied Choate 3-3 in a game well played by both teams. Everything went well against Jr. Republic as Kent romped 10-0. Nine errors plagued the team in the Loomis game, as it lost 12-1. Kent lost the final game with Hotchkiss 9-5. On the whole, much progress was made during the season, though the record doesn’t show it. m. • || - ' THIRD BASEBALL After splitting up early in the season, club baseball got under way. Coached by Mr. Toffey. Mr. Sapoch. Mr. Austell, and Mr. Cluett. the teams started working hard on infield and batting. The third team, captained by Hilton Clark, opened the season on the first team field, playing host to the Gunnery Juniors. In spite of the accurate pitching of Andy Curtis and a well-rounded infield of Ned Leber at first base. Bill Mattes at second base. Hugh Harbi-son as short stop. Russell Hines at third base, and Clark behind the plate, the thirds, inexperienced, dropped a close one 5-3 to more experienced visitors. The best game of the year for the thirds was their 14-3 victory over the Berkshire Juniors on the losers' home field. Russell Hines started for Kent but was relieved in the bottom of the third inning because of arm trouble. Ned “fireball” Leber relieved him and finished the game for the win. Dave Viger. a consistent hitter. Mattes. Harbison, Couture, and Clark held together an errorless infield while Spike Read. Andy Curtis. Jeff Withe. Pete Harvey.

The First Crew, captained by John Skinner, opened its season with a race against the Yale 160 lb. varsity. Kent's oarsmen had three weeks of practice prior to the SECOND CREW RECORD Kent over Yale by 1 ‘length Kent over Andover by 4 lengths Kent over Tabor by 3 lengths Kent over Dartmouth by 2 lengths Kent over Harvard by 1 length Kent over Poughkeepsie by 1 Y lengths Kent over Arlington by 3 lengths Kent over Tabor by 1 ' t lengths to win Worcester Regatta race, but unfortunately Yale had spent the winter on their rowing machines. Therefore, in wind and rough water. Kent found itself behind and neither leg drives or a sprint could close the length that Yale won by. Kent made up for this the following weekend at Andover. where they won by a length. This was one of Kent s finest races. The crew had to come from three-quarters of a length behind at the start to catch Andover at the half mile and then pull ahead to win. Kent opened its home season with a resounding victory over Tabor. Father's Weekend was highlighted by a clean sweep of the Harvard-Yalc-Princcton Regatta. This was the first time Kent won this annual event. Kent won the morning race over Yale by two lengths and the afternoon race over Harvard by nearly a length. Manager Bob Tatro checks Shell at Worcester as '59 Captain Lowell Johnston looks on. On Dance Weekend the big blue and gray oarsmen took on the Poughkeepsie varsity who had just barely been defeated at the Schoolboy National Championships in Detroit the previous week. Kent put on a tremendous start and kept the lead for the rest of the race, finally winning by two and one-quarter lengths, crossing the line at a very low stroke. Kent ended its regular season by going to the New England Interscholastic Regatta at Worchester. Their chief competition was Andover, along with the Henley-bound Tabor and St. Paul's crews. Like the last race with Andover. Kent fell behind a few positions at the start but later pulled ahead with a fine sprint to win by one and one-quarter lengths. The Second Crew also had an excellent season as they went undefeated. In the first race of the season, on the choppy course at Derby, the Kent boat took on the Yale Junior Varsity lightweights. The Kent boat led the more experienced lightweights throughout and resisted the mighty Yale sprint to win by a length. Seeking a more effective combination for the first crew.

This new combination was not long in proving its tenacity and adroitness. The following weekend it raced against the second Andover crew along with the firsts. After a slow start, it pulled ahead to win by an impressive lead of four lengths. Barnacle inspection. The home season also opened for the seconds with a race against Tabor Academy. This race was relatively easy as the crew swept to victory by three lengths. For the first time in the regatta history, the Kent seconds competed with the second lightweight freshmen crews from Harvard. Princeton, and Dartmouth. To Pete Grimm s delight, they finally broke into the shirt trade, taking spoils from both Harvard and Dartmouth. Both races were good ones, although Dartmouth didn't pose much of a threat. The race with Harvard was close but the Kent boat managed to keep a narrow lead from the quarter-mile mark on. The following Saturday, the crew won an easy victory over the Poughkeepsie High Seconds as it increased its lead more and more as the race progressed. The following week the crew faced the first crew from Arlington Central High School. This time it won by two and a quarter lengths, keeping a steady, low stroke throughout the whole race. 138 Seconds before Worcester Race New England Intcrscholastics. The seconds ended their season by winning the Worcester Regatta by over a length. The crew got off to early start but got caught in the wake of a large yacht and very nearly tipped over. The crew stopped, recovered. and although then in fifth place, they charged ahead to win by open water. The annual crew picnic was held at Mr. Walker’s, enlivened by anticipation of the coming Henley trip. Varsity letters were awarded to everyone on both the first and the second crews, due to the undefeated record of the latter and the coming trip to England.

Kent had earned the right to compete in the Henley Royal Regatta in England from June 29 to July 2. This was the fourteenth time that a Kent crew had been entered in Henley. Kent has won the Thames Challenge Cup four times: in 1933. 1938. 1947. and 1950. As one of the many encouraging telegrams put it. It's time to win the cup again. This crew can.” After the victory at Worcester over a one mile course, the crew directed all its efforts toward training for the longer, one mile-550 yard Henley distance. Workouts became shorter but more intense. As soon as exams were out of the way the boat began to race the upstream Henley course twice daily under the expert supervision of Coach T. Dixon Walker. A course record was set and then broken before the shell and oars were packed. Transportation of a 61-foot shell is a tricky business. Here years of experience is an important factor. Somehow Tote managed to get the I'.D.W. from Kent to the Queen Mary unscratched. The shell was tied securely along the ceiling in the Seaman s Bar on the Pig V Whistle deck, keel up to protect its delicate skin. The shell was taken from Southampton to Henley by lorry. Again, amazingly, it survived the trip without a scratch. A loud cheer for ■ CREW'' from the assembled Kent-ies and friends on the pier was heard as the Queen Mary got under way just after noon on June 15th. Two rowing machines were soon set up on the fantail. During the five day voyage the crew, rowing in pairs, had workouts each morning and afternoon. Curious sailors with their mugs of beer spent some of their off hours watching the boys “race the Henley distance.” Coach Walker and Cox Thun patiently worked with each pair. A dock strike in Southampton slowed the crew down. In spite of this, the shell, baggage and boys cleared customs and were in Henley in record, time. 140 Henley photegrapht taken by George Bushell Son Practice on Saturday morning. Lunch was waiting at the Little White Hart Hotel, where the crew ate most of its meals. Private homes in a quiet neighborhood provided bed and breakfast. Down at the river the crew found that the Kent shell was housed in Tent One. and that once again the boys were fortunate in having Percy Bullock as their boatman. It was not long before the shell was unpacked and rigged. The first practice was encouraging. The crew had made a good start. And. although almost voiceless for a time. Mike Thun proved himself to be one of the finest of Kent's Henley coxwains. His skill as a cox brought the shell safely through the regatta. As 179 crews were practicing on the river, including cox-less pairs and fours, this was a praiseworthy feat. On the Thames numerous brushes.” or informal short distance sprints, were held with English crews who were entered in the competition for the Princess Elizabeth Cup and The Lady's Plate. The crew was fortunate enough to get a full distance race with their friends and tent mates, the first boat of Jesus College. Cambridge. Tote even managed to arrange a brush with the Thames Rowing Club's Grand Challenge crew. Last practice before the first race. Kent defeating the Star Club by 1 Vi lengths in the first round By the luck of the draw, most of the good crews were concentrated in the top half. Kent drew the Star Club in the first round. This group of men. mainly from the R.A.F., was rumored to be very nippy.” or fast off the stake boats. They were. At the end of Temple Island, after a fast, smooth start. Kent led. but only bv a couple of seats. The heavier Star crew, averaging 178. seemed to be hanging on. They were still there at the barrier, the 550 yard mark, where Kent’s time was a record tying 1:57. Slowly Star began to fall back as Kent settled to a smooth 35. Kent had open water at Fawley. the halfway mark. The gap widened and Star was never able to close it. No sprint was necessary. Kent swept across the line an easy length and a half ahead: the time, a fast 6:52. Kent defeating the National Champs.” Washington Lee Noon on Thursday found Kent waiting for the start with Washington Lee High School, winners of the National Schoolboy Regatta for three straight years. The “National Champions” had failed to meet their own challenge to Kent in 1958. This was Kent's long-awaited opportunity. A poor start cost Kent over half a length, but. row ing high, they had closed the gap by the barrier. Kent led by just under a length as they passed Fawley in 3:19. Kent had spent a lot to get ahead and Washington Lee was able to inch up. Starting their sprint early in a final bid to regain the lead, they managed to close the gap to a third of a length. But the light had flashed —the race was over. Kent had beaten the National Schoolboy Champions in a fast 6:50. “The finals of the Thames Cup are today. Percy told the crew on Friday. The Kent-Harvard race was expected to be one of the best races of the regatta. It was. The crews were evenly matched. The older and more experienced Harvard 150's, officially averaging 160 were racing the younger Kent School Boat Club, officially averaging 170. “Determination best describes the attitude and efforts of the Kent crew. After a remarkably smooth and powerful start. Kent trailed by four positions. Rowing into a slight head-wind. Harvard was at the barrier in 1:58. They had failed to ncrease their lead. A surprised Harvard crew realized that this was not just another race. Kent was ..till with them at Fawley. At the mile Harvard had increased its lead to half a length. Kent had howed the body of the race at a very powerful 36. Even so they began a beautiful sprint at the foot of the enclosure. Harvard began to crumble as Kent closed the gap. The crowd went wild. But the race wasn't long enough. Harvard had won what they later admitted to be their hardest race by one and a half seconds. It was a great race, one that Kent can be proud of. They had rowed a beautiful race—they had rowed their very best. Everyone was talking about the race—not about Harvard, but about Kent. Harvard went on to win twice on Saturday, beating The Tideway Sculler's School in the semi-finals and the Detoit Boat Club in the finals. Thus they became the second boat club in history to win the Thames Challenge Cup three years in succession. The Kent crew packed its shell early, but they knew that they could be proud of what they had done. Tote was. Harvard defeating Kent in the quarter finals. The First Massifs winning over the Second Arlingtons CLUB CREW The competition in club crew this year was always keen, but the Housatonics came through very strongly with an undefeated and untied record. The Algos came in second, and the Macedonians were close behind. Pre-season speculation pictured a close race between the Algos and the Housies. and the Massies were counted on for pressing competition. No one foresaw the Housie The Second Algos just before a race domination which later took place. This might have been partly due to a daring new innovation this year: the Housies showed up in their first race in spanking new white shirts with satin preen bands, custom made for them by W. H. Brine. They were grossly imitated, but not equaled by the Algos, at a later date. The Housie crew was ably captained by David Waters, and coached by Mr. John Conover. The strong oars of Hanford O’Hara also contributed to the success. The Algos and Massies were captained by Win Sargeant and Hank Hamilton respectively, and coached by Mr. Park and Mr. Colmore. In the first race of the season, the Algos took the Massies by a small margin. only to be beaten again by the Housies. Then in the first Algo-Housie race, the Algos were beaten by a little open water, which proved to be only a taste of what was to come. 144 Third Housies Work Out The First Housie Boat raced Berkely College (Yale), and won by almost a length. The second Housies came in second in their division, behind the Algos. In the C division the Algos also came out on top. with the Housies second. and the Massies third. In other outside races. The Massies beat the Arlington High School Seconds. and the Algos lost to a South Kent crew rowing in fours, and later beat them rowing in eights.

L. to R.: Johnson. Sweitzer. Dunn. Springs. Harvey. Smith. Wolfe. Skinner. Hamilton. Pollock. THE COUNCIL At the first meeting of the Council in September of 1959. Dick Springs, the Senior Prefect, was made Chairman: Branny Sweitzer was chosen Secretary, and fourth-former Andy Wolfe Sergeant-at-Arms. It is the job of the Council to uphold the traditions and the democratic way of life of the school. In the Council are representatives from each form. It is the responsibility of the individual members to communicate to the Council the suggestions and problems which their formmates have, concerning various aspects of school life. After discussing a particular issue, the voting portion of the Council, made up of the fourth, fifth, and sixth form members, decides on a measure which is then referred to the Administration. Besides handling student and faculty suggestions, the Council also decides on necessary disciplinary problems. such as assigning further penalties to those boys who accumulate too many hours in a given week. This year the Council was even more helpful and far-reaching than in previous years. The Council sponsored a very successful variety show this winter. In addition it was helpful in solving problems like ones that occurred in the Library and Chapel. The Council is the direct link between the student body and the Administration, and as a result it plays a crucial role in Kent life. THE GUILD The intellectuals who attended the bi-weekly meetings of the 1960 Guild heard some very interesting papers on a wide range of topics—from advanced science to current events, from Christian theology to Existentialism. Even non-scientific minds were stimulated by George Cady's lengthy disertation on Topology. By cleverly intermingling jokes and interesting demonstrations of paper with only one side George managed to hold everyone's interest for at least half of the time—a rare feat for a Math paper. Jim Phyfe didn't do so badly on the Theory of Probability either. Jim Knapp opened the world of fantasy to the more narrow-minded members who suddenly realized that Theology wasn't so dull after all. Tony Morris stirred up a lively discussion on the subject of Christianity vs. Existentialism. Everyone had a scare when Tim Black stopped suddenly in the middle of his paper saying he couldn't find the next page, but breathed again freely when the missing manuscript turned up on the floor next to Fr. Patterson’s feet. Tim continued without further difficulty. Escabosa's paper was the most entertaining paper of all. He described the process of nominating Presidents though refraining from expressing an opinion. Tony r Bright lectures on Homer. English showed that Rudyard Kipling wasn't as heartless an old coot as some have said he was. These are only a few of the masterpieces that provided Tuesday night entertainment for some twenty-five adult and adolescent members of the Kent community. As a whole it was a good year, although many feel that the members were perhaps a bit too merciful with their comrades when it came to the discussion and questioning periods after the delivery of the paper.

THE BLUE KEY Since it was inspirationaly conceived of in 1951. the Blue Key society has been the official host of the school. The membership consists of especially qualified sixth and fifth formers, and in addition, many fourth formers have helped the Blue Key to carry out its responsibilities. The sixth form members this year were: Jim Phyfe (Chairman). Bob Anderson. Tony Dunn. Steve Gladstone. Mike Mitchell. Skip Smith. John Skinner, and Frank Thayer. During the year, members met visiting teams, served punch at teas, policed athletic events, parked cars at crew races under Jim Phyfe and Buffy Barton of the Kent Police, and helped to organize several school functions. such as Father's and Mother's Weekends. T his year the Blue Key undertook a new responsibility. Several members of the Society were appointed by Mr. Uhle to show visitors and prospective students around the school. The main idea behind the institution of this new activity of the Society was that visitors and prospective students would get a better idea of what The Blue Key. L. to R.. Seattd: Anderson. Thayer. Phyfe. Smith. Dunn. Gladstone. Gripps. Ashby. Mitchell. Skinner. Standing: Kennedy Sargert. Van Brunt. Waters. French. Kirkland. Albert. Harvey. Grimm. life at Kent is really like by hearing it from one of the students. The boys who conduct these tours also give their impressions of the boy and his family to the Admissions Department, thus facilitating the admissions process. This idea, however, is not original with Kent. Many schools and colleges around the country have societies which perform much the same functions as our Blue Key. It is hoped that in the future even more responsi- bilities will be delegated to this vital organization. At the annual banquet the members were awarded their keys in thanks for their many services to the school. Special thanks must be given to the advisors. Mr. Howard and Mr. Nadal. and to the Mollenhauers and the numerous faculty wives who were of great assistance at the many teas. —Jim Phyfe 150 THE KENT NEWS -DflEOTaNEWS by Pete Alford Si Joe Bright As the Editors of this year's News, we attempted not so much to change drastically the content of the issues, but rather to complete the job with more organization and efficiency. The three Senior Editors: Tim Black. Tony Gordon, and Jim Phyfe. carried much of the load of proofread ing and headlines. Sports Editor Whit McClelland was responsible for his Page 3.” and Allen Delevett kept our last page supplied with advertisements. A board of three Features Editors, consisting of Dave Kepner. Jim Knapp, and Hanford O'Hara, worked on the Second page, trying to add informative, interesting, and entertaining writing to the News. Several of the innovations which appeared in the News this year were the “On the Hill column. Clapp's Corner (keeping readers up to date on extracurricular activities), and People are Talking About. Throughout the year, series of articles were written on subjects like the duties of different Sixth Form officers, behind THE KENT NEWS EDITORIAL BOARD EDITOR IN CHIEF MANAGING EDITOR Peter Henry Alford Joseph C.

The News also experimented with cartoon features this year, with Gabriel” in the Fall, and “Kalump in the Sping. Student photographers took over more of the picture taking for the News this year, and we are thankful for the Photography Club and its many hardworking members. The News could not operate without the Associate Editors, reporters, typists, and. most important. Mr. Ronshaugen. whose advice and guidance saved many a late Monday night session. The I960 Cauldron Board. Left to Right: Bright. Hanna. Alford. Griggs. Clapp. Chamberlain. THE CA ULDRON This year Kent’s literary magazine. The Cauldron, appeared twice. Due to a varying amount of student interest and participation, the winter issue was dropped. The format change which was instituted last year with great success was continued, and the magazine retained its former size. Under the direction of Faculty Advisors. Messers Cluett and Fuller. Editor Tim Griggs, assisted by fifth formers Stuart Chamberlain. Duncan Pollock, and John Ashby, managed to compile several good pieces of student writing. Included among this material were a one act play, as well as the standard short stories. the cauldron Art editor Chris Clapp made sure that both issues were attractively illustrated. Peter Conze assisted him in this. It is hoped that next year the fifth formers who were so instrumental in putting out the 1960 Cauldrons will have benefited by their experience enough to do a good job. fall 1959 ?40 THE 1960 KENT Here is the 1960 Kent, an account of everything that has happened at Kent School this year—caught by the camera and the typewriter. As you leaf through the pages of this book, ou will see no major changes from last year’s format, but several minor ones. Perhaps most noticeable is the change of text type to Benedictine Book, and Headlines to Baskerville Italics. In addition, we have divided the sports section logically by season, and have replaced the historic but trite Sixth Form paragraphs with a series of hopefully humerous commentaries on each individual. We have followed up the policy started last year of interspersing the advertising section with photographs. The staff works out in the open Mr. Rice: the advertising type. The staff of the Kent this year worked for a degree of efficiency in getting the job done, as well as a high standard of quality. The Editor-in-Chief was Hanford O'Hara, who by a little native luck, and a lot of support from a fine staff, managed to bring the operation to a close in good time. Managing Editor Jim Knapp was an indispensable aid to efficiency, and amazed many with his ability to dummy page after page of text. Photo Editor Tony English, an experienced photographer himself, was quite successful in coordinating the efforts of others to supply needed pictures. Business Manager Allen Delevctt ended all financial worries with his aggressive pursuit of his task. Senior Editors Tim Black and Ken Korfmann were especially helpful toward the end of their effort when much clerical work remained to be done. Dave Kepner and Chris Clapp penned the Class History, while Pete Alford and Tim Griggs edited the comments on the senior pages, amidst much malicious laughter. Tony Gordon and Bruce Morrison did much for activities and sports, respectively. In addition to the regular staff, we would like to thank Mr. David Rice, who spent long hours doing the most difficult work, and Mrs. Rice. We would also like to thank Mr. Raydon Ronshaugen. who helped out on photographs. Also, we feel it out duty to recognize the following, who gave a good deal of their time to the Yearbook: Walton Moody Skip Smith Doug Ahlborn Ted Stock Joe Bright Charles Countee —Hanford O'Hara Hilton Clark Jon Brown David Mueller Bill Travis 153 THE GLEE CLUB AND KENTONES In the fall of 1959 many nervous voices were heard coming from the vicinity of the North Dorm attic. From these voices, many of them inexperienced. Mr. Gilliam developed a very fine singing organization. The repetoire consisted mainly of spirituals including a rousing rendition of Great Gittin' Up Morning soloed by Tony Dunn. Another popular song was Poor OF Lazarus with Doug Ahlborn and Newman Baker sharing the solo honors. There were many dosc- harmonied folk songs as well, however, such as the famous Shenendoah. Because of bad breaks—sports-wise and weather-wise —Mr. Gilliam was able to schedule only three formal concerts for the Club. One was with St. Margaret s one with Dobbs, and one for the fathers on Fathers' Weekend. The Dobbs concert was a highlight of the season since it was a concert consisting of three joint numbers including a novelty number Country Style. L. to R.. First Row.: S. Chamberlain. R. Hines.

The record was well done and certainly one which all the boys involved were proud to have made. The Kentones contributed to Kent's music substantially this year, disregarding the false starts and off-pitches given by their pitch-pipe Jim Mell. 154 Kcntones. L. to R.: Tewksbury. R. Hines.

The brightest spot on their calendar was the Jamboree of groups from ten other prep schools, which was held in the auditorium. May 1st. The Whiffenpoofs of Yale also took part. They were ■ pooped by Bill Weber ’56. Besides the concerts and the annual trip down to Sherman, the boys displayed their work at the various dances held at the school. Everyone seemed to enjoy the numbers—slow or fast. This was basically a result of the fine work done by this year's soloists who were: Tom Stanton. Blake Smith. Doug Ahlborn. Newman Baker. Barry Hamilton. Jay French. Bill Coleman. Bruce Morrison, and Russ Hines. Since only seven -of the sixteen were sixth formers, a strong group is expected for 1961.

At the beginning of the year, try-outs were held, and the membership of the choir was filled as quickly as possible, so that the group could soon begin giving the school effective leadership during the evening and Sunday morning Chapel services Meetings were held Fifth Periods on 'Tuesdays, and Friday evenings after supper. Father Patterson then announced to the school that Ted Stock had been appointed Precentor of the Choir for the. coming year. Since some of the members had been members in preceding years, work went quickly in getting the hymns and chants ready for the regular Chapel services. The group was thus able to get an early start in getting ready new music for the special musical services during the year. Among these were the annual services of les- sons and carols, which preceded the School s adjournment for the Christmas and Spring vacation. Along with these services, the Choir during the Fall and Winter terms sang at churches in New York City. New Canaan. Bronxville. and Washington. Conn. During Spring Term, the Chapel music centered around the festival of Easter. On the Wednesday preceding Good Friday, the Choir sang the Passion with the assistance of Ralph Warren. ‘58. the first Precentor of the Choir. As a suitable finish to a fine year of sing ing. a record was made in the Chapel of the music which was sung daily in the Evening services. This was the first time that such a recording had been attempted. On one side the Choir sings an Evensong service, and some of its popular anthems, and on the other side the entire school sings the most familiar hymns. THE AMBASSADORS On a cool night last fall. Pete Alford staged a football rally before the Choate game. Among the incentives to cheer was a group of trumpet, drum, and trombone, which played the football song, the theme for 77 Sunset Strip, and a piece called “Rock and Roll. The piece became Kent’s 1 hit for 1960, The Housatonic Rock : the group became the Ambassadors. Several weeks later, the group, with Ward Wellman on the trumpet. Stu Chamberlain on the piano. and Steve Stoner on the drums, turned up for a brief appearance at the Fall Dance, where they caused 3 mild sensation. From this point on. the group gained stature rapidly. Appearances in the Auditorium before the movies brought fame to new numbers, and original lighting effects by Jim Thorpe and Bill Goodbody added a great deal to the performances. Season highlights included the winter dances, when the group was joined by Pere Wroth's sax. and Bob Anderson on bass 3nd electric guitar. Wellman also played the electric guitar for several sensational duets. The Ambassadors thank Thorpe and Good-body. along with recording engineers B. Hamilton and Straite for their help. 157 BELLRINGERS’ rung. Since this was the first time this had been rung in the country in many years, the band received nation-wide publicity. One of the highlights of the year was the December visit of the Groton School's band, the only other change ringing band in the U.S. During their visit, they rang Hunting with their eight members. combined with members of the Kent band. It was the first time in a long time that this had been done with all ten bells. Also during the visit, the Kent band rang several variations of the Grand-sire Doubles system with six bells. Later in the year. Kent paid a return visit to Groton. Ringing on this year's crack six were: Barry Hamilton (treble). Hugh Hardcastle (two). Donald Stuart (three). Dick Crosbie (four). Chairman Jeff Headden (five), and Bill Goodbody or Jim GUILD This year's Guild was one of the finest ever trained in the United States. Because of their complete separation with the rest of the ringing world and a complete turn-over in membership every five years, it has been difficult to train a proficient group. However, within the past few years, a great deal has been done to improve the quality of the ringing. This year. Grandsire Triples were rung almost every Sunday, and on Easter Day a Quarter-Peal (1.260 changes) was successfully Phyfe on the Tenor. Dave Bailey. Dave Kirkpatrick, and Rick Chamberlain also rang for the band. The Guild takes this opportunity to thank Mr. Howard, whose constant interest and enthusiasm have made this year one of the best in the Guild's history. Dtluicr . .. to R.. Bottom Row: BulUn. Wolfe.

THE PUBLIC SPEAKING SOCIETY climax of the season was undoubtedly the West-over debate, in which each school won a victory. Needless to say. this debate was the cause of much renewed interest in debating. Five of the members attended a Mock Democratic Convention at Gunnery in the Spring. It was a very interesting experience, though the Kent delegates could not succeed in pushing their chosen candidate through. The Society wishes to express its gratitude to Mr. Worthington for his assistance as advisor. The Public Speaking Society this year had both an interesting and successful season. Starting with only eleven members, the membership increased steadily during the year, with greater interest being shown by all. The outside debates started in January, and took place every two weeks for the remainder of Winter Term. A league was formed with four other schools, and Kent had the best record at the end of the four rounds. Kent came close to being undefeated, but fell down badly the week of the debate on whether males should wear wigs. The THE INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS CLUB The International Relations Club is an organization in which boys may increase their knowledge and understanding of many different countries around the world. President Tony Morris. Vice-President Dune Pollock, and advisor of the Club. Mr. Henry Syer. organized an interesting program. Mr. Emmanuel Johnson of Liberia was the first outside speaker. In his talk he explained the position of Liberia among the new African republics. John Smithies '60. spoke at the next meeting on Cuba and its role in international politics. Smithies explained how Castro came to Crytscr reads. Dele vet t. O'Hara. Moody Watch Camera.

One of the most interesting meetings of the year took place later that month when Dr. John Wallace. Vice-President of the “Experiment in International Living” spoke to the club about the various ways ir. which American students are able to travel in Europe, under different youth programs.

He discussed many aspects of the area, including the expanding oil economy. The climax of the year was a trip to the United Nations made by some of the members. They attended a meeting of the Economic and ? Social Council, and were given a guided tour. _____________________________________ Sid Smitbcrs shouts while Tim Griggs listens in “The Hairy Ape DRAMATICS Kent Dramatics continued its policy of experimenting with theatre forms as yet undeveloped at Kent with two major productions. The Zeal of Thy House, by Dorothy Sayers, and The Hairy Ape by Eugene O’Neill. The Zeal of Thy House was presented in the School Chapel at the end of Fall Term. This religious drama, directed by Mr. Roy Richardson, was a daring experiment in total theatre”: it incorporated difficult acting parts with intricate technical effects and live music. Mr. Austell held the lead role of William of Sens, a medieval church architect suffering from sinful pride. Father Costin was cast as the Lord Prior, while Mrs. Joyce Von Schmidt undertook the part of Lady Ursula. Other lead roles were played by Syd Smithers. Tony English. Skip Smith. Johnathan Hanna, and Chris Clapp. Fr. Penfield composed and conducted music which was sung by a Chorus in the rear of the Chapel. Jim Thorpe, Chris Kirkland. Stu Chamberlain, and Bill Goodbody handled the backstage chores. The success of the production emphasized the ability of Kent to The chapter meeting in “The Zeal of Thy House' Director George Porter and Cast of Submerged produce religious drama—an achievement that can be credited to Mr. Richardson. We are sorry that he is leaving Kent, but we are happy that his time will be well spent in writing. Mr. Austell directed The Hairy Ape. Instead of futile attempts at realism, the sets, lighting, and acting were blended to create an effect which was often bizarre, but always effective. Syd Smithers took the title role of Yank, an Ape like soldier trying to find desperately his true place in society. Supporting parts were held by Miss Tini Pousselt. Mrs. David Rice. Tim Griggs. Mike Mitchell. Joe Stow-ell. Blake Smith. Toby Kennedy. Skip Smith. Pete Al- ford. Dave Kepner. and Hank Hamilton. The sets and lighting were designed and produced by Mr. Richardson, and Jim Thorpe. Their assistants were Bill Goodbody. Stu Chamber-lain. Rick Chamberlain. Ollie Andrews. and Joe Stowell. Mr. Austell’s production was well received, and it left no doubt in anyone’s mind that he had the ability to take over not only Mr. Richardson’s job. but the new Girl’s School theater as well. Six Seniors: Jim Thorpe. Syd Smithers. Blake Smith. Skip Smith. Whit McClelland, and George Porter tried their hands at directing, as they each their own play during Spring Term, as members of Mr. Richardson’s theater seminar. By mutual aid. and with Mr. Richardson’s advice and criticism, these boys capped very effectively, what was one of Kent School's most successful seasons. Syd Smithers Restrained in Scene from The Hairg Ape LE CERCLE FRANCAIS This year the French Club, under the direction of faculty advisor Mr. Mattoon. studied an elementary course in Russian. Mr. Mattoon. who has been taking an advanced Russian course, helped the club to learn the fundamentals of Russian grammar. With the aid of language records, members of the club were able to speak simple Russian sentences. The meetings were conducted entirely in French. Those who took the course were: Walt Moody. Tony Morris. Tony Dunn. Hanford O’Hara. Fromader. Engel. Stu Chamberlain, and Mrs. Uhle. Mr. Mattoon was pleased with the progress of the students especially since the club met only once a week. EL CLUB ESPANOL The Spanish Club, under the direction of Mr. Colmore. was fairly successful this year. The club met every other week during the year, except for a brief period in the winter term when members were busy at Mid-Years, and various other engagements. The meetings, under President Timothy Black and Secretary John Smithies, consisted mainly of a series of short talks given by members. Among the highlights of the program were John Smithies’ penetrating comments on the Cuban situation. Russell Pae's discussion of his native land. Uruguay, and Tim Black’s impressions of Mexico. Some meetings were also devoted to listening to various types of music on records, representive of different parts of the Spanish speaking world. 164 Too bad. he was a nice guy. Also visited were the Dudly Town Caves and. what is now becoming an annual rendezvous, a visit to the caves at Millertown. Taking full advantage of the holidays this year, the club was able, for the first time, to take overnight trips. The first trip, led by Mr. Rob Grey, was a five mile hike to Mr. Worthington's cabin located in Macedonia Valley. This trip was limited to three seniors and Mr. Rob Grey. 4 OUTING CLUB The Outing Club, instituted by Mr. Rob Grey, began the year with a total of seventy-five members. This, however soon dwindled to about twenty-five, who were genuinely interested in the outdoors. This enabled the interested to go on more trips. With the help of Mr. Rice. Mr. Conover. Mr. Gammon, and Mr. DeVillafranca. the club took many interesting and varied trips. Among the most interesting feats were conquests of Bear Mountain and Mount Riga. Several trips were taken to Bish-Bash Falls, where after a good climb, everyone had an opportunity to go swimming. The second trip was to Plantain Pond, under the supervision of Mr. Rob Grey and Mr. Gammon. Seven members of the club were able to make this trip. Both trips proved very gratifying and were a pleasant change from the stiff atmosphere of the campus to the leisurely atmosphere of nature. The officers this year were President Joe Stowell. a gentleman farmer from Altoona. Pennsylvania. Vice-President Chris Albert from New York City, and for It was a long way down, but we made it. Secretary-Treasurer the club was privileged to have Mr. James Allen Fitzhugh Delevett. Jr. an outstanding sportsman from Fairfield. Conn. The club wishes to express its appreciation to Mr. Rob Grey for his sound and effective leadership of the club during the year. PHOTOGRAPHY CLUB Chris Clapp with prize winning painting. (Picture taken by a member)- The Photography Club has never lowered itself to take on a name like “The Shuttcrbugs” or The Lense Wipers. but we seldom lowered ourselves to anything, for that matter, even the Yearbook or the News. This may seem like a pessimistic opening but there are two ways of looking at it. Perhaps we have been the favorite scapegoat of the Nev s and an incorrigible headache to Pete Alford, but we have accomplished some things, in spite of the utter inexperience of our president. Tony English. Even if we do spoil ninety-five per cent of our pictures, even if the chemicals have to give up their bottles in favor of coffee, and even if none of us knows what the correct developing time for super hi-pan is: at least we take so many pictures that enough come out for a decent showing (if we keep the ratio of success to failure secret). Thus to all the members of the Photography Club, from the most newly joined member to the most veteran Lord of Darkness and red light. I say thank-you and well-done. To those of you who feel that there is foul play afoot because you have been charged good money for pictures untaken, unordered. or unreceived: I would say. “Hold your peace, for we have never aimed to please.” THE CHEERLEADERS The I960 Cheerleaders.

CHESS CLUB The Chess Club, sporting a membership of fifty players, enjoyed a very successful year with more chess being played than ever before, a 5-1 record in outside competition, and for the first time, an international chess match by mail. At the first meeting of the year, the club elected George Cady as President. Dick Cros-bie as Vice-President, and Alan Hague as Secretary. The first match of the year was against Hotchkiss, when Kent won 3-1. Winners were Dave Slack at the number one position. Chris Janus at 2. and George Cady at 4. while Tom Grove dropped a long game at number 3. Kent’s next victim was Canterbury where Janus. Slack. Cady. Hague, and iVHgruder were all victorious in a 5-0 shutout. Kent next defeated South Kent by a 3J4-1 'A score. Slack. Hague, and Grove won at 1.3. and 5 respectively, while Janus tied at number 2 and Cady lost at 4. Loomis was the next team to lose to the Kent squad as Slack. Janus. Grove, and Lanny Springs won while Cady lost. Another shutout was achieved at Berkshire as Slack. Janus. Cady. Grove, and Springs all won. The final match was a rematch against South Kent. which Kent dropped by a close 3-2 score. Another highlight of the year was when Kent's second five tied Canterbury. By the time this article was written. Slack. Janus. Grove, and Cady had all made three moves by mail against their opponents from the Bentbridge School on the Isle of Wight in England. Another highlight of the year was a demonstration of three-dimensional chess by Mr. Fuller, the owner of one of America's few such sets. The Club's top five players enjoyed this very much, and had a lot of fun actually playing a three-dimensional match. Frank Thayer and A! Hague ready for moves in league match. SCIENCE CLUB The Science Club was again divided into four sections—one for chemistry, physics, biology, and astronomy. The chemistry section was the largest. Each member was assigned a laboratory desk, and given materials with which to do the experiments he wished. Experiments performed ranged from micro quantitative analysis to the making of plastic. A phosphine fire lamp which blows smoke rings at the will of the operator was also constructed. The members of the astronomy section continued last year's project of grinding telescope mirrors. In the physics section a cloud chamber, which is a device for observing the trails of sub-nuclear particles and radiation of radioactive materials. was built. For Biology. Jeff Slaughter and Tony Gordon ordered some radioactive iodine and phosphorous isotopes from the Oak Ridge laboratories. With the phosphorus isotope Jeff did an experiment which showed how readily yeast absorbs radioactive phosphorus. Tony did an experiment on half life with the iodine isotope, determining that the isotope has a half life of about eight days. During the course of the year, three talks were given � o the club. George Cady presented his Guild paper on Topology. Jan Jacobi delivered a talk on the solar system, mentioning the planets, comets, asteroids, and the sun. Mr. Symonds delivered a lecture on tree identification. MUSIC SOCIETY The Music Society was privileged this year with having Mr. Leander Dell'Anno as its faculty advisor. He provided excel lent recorded selections from a wide variety of subjects. Mr. Dell'Anno who teaches piano and music appreciation courses, played records ranging from classical to modern jazz. During the year he was responsible for arranging Sunday concerts in the Auditorium. These included the Paul Price Percussion Ensemble. The String Quartet, from the Hartford School of Music. and Chamber Music by another Hartford group. Among the speakers at the Society's meetings were Mr. Emmanuel Johnson who talked on African music, and Mr. Syer who gave a lecture on the mathematics and physics involved in musical and sound waves. Seven members went to the Bushnell Memorial building in Hartford to see a show entitled Jazz for Mod- erns” featuring Maynard Ferguson. Lambert. Hendricks. Ross, and Dave Brubcck. Three members also went to New York City to hear the Weavers play at City Hall. This year’s club officers were Steve Gladstone. President: Warner Smith. Vice President, and Bob Anderson. Secretary.

Though Barry Hamilton built a sailing boat and Sandy Taft a phono- graph-radio-tape recorder cabinet, gun racks, small tables and book shelves were most popular. The shop was well equipped with modern power tools enabling members to do precise work in relatively short time. THE SKEET CLUB Vicious guns, and Brown The Skeet Club had a membership of ten guns this year. It was limited to very few weekends due to poor weather: however, those weekends it was able to go it greatly due to his tremendous experi ence. Joe Stowell. president, and Dave Kepner. vice-president, were the two best shooters. The Club will continue to be restricted to fourth, fifth, and sixth formers. as it is felt a member should have previous experience in using fire arms.
