Mr. Dwelle taught English and history and, in 1922, also assumed the duties of assistant headmaster, Five years later, due to the ill health of Headmaster Brent, Mr. Dwelle accepted virtually all the responsibility of running the school. Mr. Dwelle became King School's sixth headmaster in 1932, following the death of Mr. Brent. For twenty- five years, the Headmaster taught, reassured, and punished as the various needs arose. He also under- took the teaching of Latin, physics, and mathematics at various times, while continuing ,the instruction of history and English. For a quarter of a century he worked toward the goal of our founder-Hiram Ulysses King-a fine boys' college preparatory school in the city of Stamford. Then, in the spring of 1957, the Board of Trustees regretfully accepted Mr. Dwelle's resignation. At the commencement exercises for the class of 1957, Headmaster Dwelle turned his post over to our present headmaster-Mr. Jackson-and ac- cepted the title of Headmaster Emeritus. During the past two years, Mr. Dwelle has con- tinued at the school, heading the Building Fund Com- mittee, aiding Mr. Jackson, and, as always, helping the students by every means at his command. Next September, for the first time in forty years, the pro- gram at King will not benefit from the guidance of our Headmaster Emeritus, for, while he will retain his post as a trustee of the school, he will not participate in its daily operation. In recognition of his contributions to King School, and in tribute to the man himself, we-the Senior Class -are proud to dedicate the nineteen hundred fifty- nine Kingsmen to Vernon Averell Dwelle. We feel that this is a tribute, too, to the closing of a golden age in the progress of King School.

Terry attended Greenwich High School before en- tering King as a member of the Junior class in the fall of 1957. He quickly made his presence felt on the athletic field, and during his first year at King he played varsity football, basketball and baseball. This year, as a senior, Terry was co-captain of the football team and was one of the mainstays of the basketball squad. As a iunior, he was a member of the publications staff. Terry is especially interested in mathematics and science, and out of school he spends much time making improvements on his car. In the fall Terry will attend Northwestern as an engineering student, and we are certain that he will meet with continued success in his chosen field. 4 l 5 . ig The gray ghost if RICHARD EMMETT DEEMS, JR. Coming to King from the Taft School, Dick became a member of the Senior class in September, 1958. He immediately joined the varsity football squad for pre-season practice and won himself a position in the line. His ability and enthusiasm made him a valu- able member of the team. In addition to football Dick has also contributed to the success of the Dramatics Club in the production department. Mathematics is one of his favorite subiects, and after a year at the University of Colorado Dick plans to pursue a career in Naval architecture. We are sure that success will be his. 3 of pg pf MICHAEL EDWARD FERTIG Make transferred to Kung from New Canaan Hugh School ln September 1957 as a member of the .lunlor class Durung has flrst year at Kung he dnd not find the tlme to enter unto extra currucular actnvltles to any real extent but as a Semor he became one of the outstandmg lunemen on the varsnty football team ln addltlon to thus Mlke has been on the advertusmg staff of the Publucatlons Board and has partlclpated ln the Dramatlc Club He has also been an avud follower of the varsuty teams and has been IH attendance at all games leadmg the cheermg In the fall Make wull enter the Umverslty of Connecticut where he wull undertake a course nn Busmess Admmustratnon We are confident that his pleasant manner will be an asset to hls future success i X E11 1 JN 1 p H., 1 X V f Am X ' 8 l I DOUGLAS RICHARD MOFFITT Doug entered King from Dolan Junior High in the fall of 1956 as a member of the tenth grade. Doug's main extra-curricular activity at King has been in publications. As a Junior he held the position of Asso- ciate editor, and as a senior he has been the editor. Also, Doug has participated in dramatics-both as an actor as well as a member of the production stalt. Doug has always been a good student and has been especially interested in mathematics and science. As a junior Doug was awarded the English prize in spite of his great liking for mathematics. ln the fall Doug will attend college in Switzerland at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology where he will begin his engi- neering studies. In the future he plans to be a chemical engineer and we all know that he has the ability to be outstanding in his field. 33-- LAWRENCE JAMES PERUZZI Larry became a member of the Junior class at King in the fall of 1957. He had previously attended school in England plus a year at New Canaan High. During his first year at King, Larry concentrated on his academic pursuits, but this year he became a member of the Dramatic Club and displayed a real talent for acting. Larry's favorite subiect is history, but he has no specific field of study in mind for the future. Larry does plan to return to England to further his education, and we are sure that he will be successful in whatever he does undertake to do. A 3 RICHARD WILLIAM PRICE Dick entered King as an eighth-grader in the Fall of 1954 after leaving Rogers School. He immediately entered into the athletic program by playing J.V. football and baseball. Although he played varsity baseball as a sophomore, Dick will be remembered for his basketball skills as a varsity player for three years. He was co-captain of the team as a iunior and captain during his senior year when he made the All-League team. Dick has also been active on the publications staff, being feature editor during this year. He showed his versatility further by participating in the Dramatic Club. In addition, Dick has been a Student Council member for two years, holding the office of Vice President as a senior. In the fall Dick will enter Wesleyan and although he has not yet decided upon a definite course of study, there is little doubt as to his being successful in whatever career he chooses to pursue in the future. ROBERT WEBSTER REYNOLDS Robert Spider Reynolds came to our campus in the fall of 1955 as a freshman from Dolan Junior High School. Since then he has become an integral part of life at King. He was a valuable cog in the 1955 J.V. football team. In 1957 he advanced to Varsity but was forced to give up this sport after numerous injuries. His career in the classroom has been extremely successful, his name consistently appears on the honor roll and in his junior years he captured the scholastic award at the end of the year. Bob has made many contributions to the school publications, having held the position of co-editor in his iunior year and business manager this year. When the Student Council was reestablished in 1957, Bob was elected assistant vice president and this year was elected president. Next year he will be seen at Dartmouth where his plans include a maior in economics. This tentatively will be followed by further study in Business Admin- istration or Law School. Whatever the final decision may be, success will be his. Q 5- S .S ix... VINCENT JOSEPH RINELLA, JR. Vince entered King in the ninth grade in September, 1955 after previously attending Burdick Junior High. Vince has not only been among the leaders of his class academically, but in extra-curricular activities as well. He has been a varsity basketball player for three years, being co-captain in 1957-58 and making the All-League team as both a junior and as a senior. He was also a member ofthe varsity baseball team as a sophomore and a junior. An injury in 1956 ended his hopes of playing football for King. As a junior Vince was assistant-secretary of the Student Council and was a Council member this year. In addition to this he has been on the publications staff and during this year he played leading roles in the Dramatic Club productions. As a junior, Vince was awarded the Sherman prize for excellence in the study of French. Outside of school his hobbies include jazz and piano playing. Vince plans to enter Brown University where he will major in pre-law. With his many talents and pleasant personality we know that he will meet with success. , pr- wi THOMAS HUBERT SNYDER Tom came to Kung un the fall of 1957 as a member of the .lumor class after havmg attended Gunnery School Tom s pleasant personaluty and sense of humor have brughtened many a clay at school In hrs two years at Kung he has been actuve on the edntorlal staff of the publications In addotuon to benng nts Aclvertnsmg Manager thus year Durmg thus current year Tom was elected Secretary of the Student Councnl and had the thankless 'ob of tabulatmg and posting demeruts Toms plans for the future Include a Busmess Admumstratuon course at enther Syracuse or the Unuversrty of Muchlgan and then a career nn advertnsung The characterlstncs that he has displayed at Kung make us feel that success ln the future for Tom ns a certamty V1.7 'gunz ROBERT BOWDITCH STONE Haulmg from Holderness School Bob entered Kung as a member of the Junior class m the fall of 1957 Durung hrs two years at Kung Bob has been a varslty baseball player bemg captam of the team thus year He proved a capable leader and helped to durect has team to the league champlonshnp In addmon to baseball Bob has also been on the staff of the Publlcatrons as well as belng a member of the Dramatlcs Club Hrs favorute academlc sublect IS hrstory and he wall follow a Luberal Arts course at Franklun and Marshall nn the fall In whatever career he chooses for the future we are certam that ut wnll be a successful one for hum ROGER MARSHALL POOLE Roger entered the Senior class at King in February of 1959. He had been graduated from Stamford High School the previous year and came in for post grad- uate work in preparation for entrance to college in September. Roger fitted in with the group very easily and immediately made friends with everyone. In the Fall Roger will enter Hobart College where he will follow a course in Liberal Arts. In whatever field he chooses in the future, we know that he will meet with success and that he will be well liked and respected by his future colleagues. HAROLD EDWARD JOHNSON, JR. Ed came to King during the middle of his Senior year. He is a native of Olkahoma and had previously attended the Thomas Jefferson School in St. Louis. Even though he arrived late on the scene, Ed quickly entered into the routine at King and made friends with everyone. During the Spring term he was a mem- ber of the varsity baseball squad. In the fall Ed will enter Grinnell where he will study Business Adminis- tration. We feel that his stay at King has been much too brief, but from what we have learned of him in this time we are sure that he has a successful career ahead of him. 0 1-J if Back row left to right Todd Varnum Scud Fish Jim Cummings Chan Brown, Alan Levine, George Brown, Bob Rondano Ed Hines Front row Ronny Allen John Teets John Moulton Joy James, Alan Mintz, Dick William Cameron Allen Richard Charles Anderson Clarence Channing Brown George Walter Brown James Michael Cummings Charles Scudder Fish Edward Lloyd Hines Francis Wadsworth James Alan Sherman Levine James Marr Milne Alan Robert Mintz John Woodman Moulton Robert Peter Rondano David Vincent Rowland John Barrett Teets Robert Todd Varnum Back row, left to right: Jet?

Time to have fun, Not study a rule. Swimming and sailing, And fishing and such. Compare this to school And school's not much. Camping and hunting, A whole lot of fun, But I can't begin Until schoolwork is done. The trees will grow leaves, The flowers will bloom, Hey, Duck your head, Look out for the boom. But really in Spring, Fishing means most to me, And until I'm sixteen A license is free. Near the beginning of April, The trout season will start And to outwit a trout You must be pretty smart. But spring will end, And summer will come, By that time, I hope, All my work will be done.

Back row: Manager Mike Park, Thorne Allison, Bob Consolino, Ted Owens, Craig Brinker. The T958 Six-Man Varsity Football team was, beyond all doubt, the finest team ever to win the Tri-County League Championship. Under the direction of Coach Jackson, the team routed each rival force by a fantastic score. In its five tests, the King squad scored 231 paints to i2 for its foes. Opening their season with three home games, the Kingsmen crushed Daycroft, 32-0, Roosevelt, 40-0, and Cherry Lawn, 33-O. ln the three tests, Todd Varnum put on an astound- ing scoring spree, recording Ti TD's. Terry Allen, Thorne Allison, and Bob Rondano also figured heavily in the scoring, while John Teets and John Moulton handled the defensive duties superlatively. Venturing to Cedar Knolls for their first road contest, Coach Jackson's charges won their fourth game, 60-12, Varnum dashed to three more TD's, while Allison and Alan Mintz scored two six pointers each. Phil Cohen secured both Cedar Knoll's TD's on fine runs. Playing defending league-champions, Hamden Hall, at New Haven, the varsity six recorded their last victory by the most fantastic score in Tri-County history, 66-O. After being held scoreless in the first period, the Colonial Roaders scored 35 points in the second quarter to wrap up an easy triumph. Varnum scored three more TD's to finish the season with a total of T7, a league record. l l -MAN VARSITY FOOTBALL After an absence of four years, 11-Man Varsity Football returned to King. Despite a lack of depth, the team played extremely well, dividing two hard-fought contests. Following a successful scrimmage against Milford Prep, the Kingsmen lost a heart- breaking test to Brunswick, 18-14. The Maroon and White, via TD's by John Moulton and Thorne Allison, led 14-6 at the half, but the heavily manned Greenwich outfit proved superior in the remaining half and eked out the victory. Arch-rival St. Luke's provided the second foe for Coach Jackson's charges in a home test played before a tremendous crowd. King played an inspired game, completely rout- ing the New Canaan team, 32-8. Todd Varnum turned in a great game, scoring three TD's. Allison and John Teets also recorded six pointers in the victory.

Journeying to Hackley for their first road game, the JV's were defeated 35-'IO but scored their first TD on a pass from John Kellog to George Reese. The Maroon and White concluded its season with losses to Rye, 44-O, and Fairfield Country Day, 35-T4. In the latter test, John Galassi and Ricky Washington both scored King TD's. --us.

INTERMEDIATE FOOTBALL For the first time at King, an Intermediate Football team was formed, with boys from the fifth and sixth grades participating. Although the team did not win any games, it made a creditable showing. Those who served under Coach Burnett outstandingly were Curtis Watrouse, Tom McLaughlin, John Gardener, Sam Johnson, and Hugh Bigelow. After sustaining a heart-breaking I6-8 setback at the hands of Rippowam Village at home, the Intermediates were routed by Harvey 20-O on the road. In the first game, Curtis Watrouse secured the King TD on a fine run. Venturing to Rippowam Village for a return match, the Kingsmen were defeated by an identical I6-8 count, Tom McLaughlin recorded the Maroon and White six pointer, while Watrouse scored the extra two markers. The Intermediates finished their campaign by dropping a hard-fought, 6-O contest to Harvey. Throughout the season, the squad played fine ball and deserved a much better fate. In part, its lack of success may be attributed to the fact that Coach Burnett's force averaged from 20 to 40 pounds lighter than the opposing squads. SGCCER After an absence of many seasons, Soccer reappeored at King this year. Under the leadership of Mr. Peters, a team comprising of boys from the eighth and ninth grades was organized and played three games. The nucleus of the squad consisted of Claude Peters, Dave Rasines, Allen Sullender, Ed Olson, Peter Steele, Keith Woodman, Terrel Walker, and William Moulyn. Opening their season with two tests against Haithcock, the King kickers were de- feated 4-O at home and 'I2-O at Greenwich. The Kingsmen concluded an unsuccessful campaign by dropping a road game to Greenwich Country Day, 5-l. Big Dave Rasines booted in the only King tally of the season. As Coach Peters said at the Father and Son Dinner, it was the courage of the boys and their willingness to tackle a sport with which they had had no experience that made the year a success in the King tradition of sportsmanship, despite its poor mathematical outcome. Next year, some of the players will have experience and a little more weight, which will undoubtedly enable the team to put forth a better showing. 1915... gy Qiykl, Q R sf W...

VARSITY BASKETBALL The l958-59 Varsity Basketball season proved to be one of the most successful for King in many years. The team won l2 of T4 league games, to finish a strong second in the Tri-County standings. After opening their season by walloping Cedar Knolls, 55-20, at home, the Kings- men upset St. Luke's, 41-28, at New Canaan. With Price and Allen dominating the re- bounding, Coach Olson's forces led throughout the test. Rinella, who had 'I8 points in the first game, poured in T9 against the Saints. Returning to Stark School, the Varsity five crushed Daycroft, 52-29, and Roosevelt, 50-26, with Rondano and Allen pacing the scoring. However, Brunswick stopped the King victory streak at four by eking out a 40-38 victory.

The 1959 King School Varsity Baseball season proved a vast improvement from previous years. Under the guidance of Mr. Olson, the team won the Southern Connecticut Prep School Baseball Championship with a record of five victories and one defeat. Overall, the squad was 9-3, a complete turnabout from the 1958 campaign, which found the Kingsmen on the long end of an 'I-8 record. The championship team was paced by the outstanding batting of Captain Bob Stone and was built around o powerful batting attack and fine speed, which made up for an inadequate defense and erratic pitching. Jeff Teets, Allen Salvatore, Jimmy Cum- mings, Dick Anderson, Alan Mintz, Bob Rondano, John Teets and Todd Varnum were the other eight players. The King nine opened its season with a come-from-behind triumph over St. Luke's in a home game. The Saints broke o scoreless tie with two runs in the sixth inning, but the Kingsmen tallied five times in the bottom of that frame to win 5-2. JeFf Teets was the victorious pitcher, striking out ll, and allowing but one hit. The second King game was a road test against the defending League champions, Hamden Hall. ln this game Anderson hurled a brilliant no-hitter, downing the Hallmen 'll-0. The big right-hander fanned T3 and walked only one in a tremendous effort. Stone led the hitters with two singles, while Rondano blasted a home run. Daycroft provided the next opposition for the Maroon and White in another road battle. The Kingsmen led all the way-gaining a 5-2 victory. Anderson was the winning pitcher in relief. Still on the road, Coach Olson's charges downed Cherry Lawn 6-2 as Anderson and Teets combined to hold the Darien outfit hitless. John Teets was the outstanding hitter for the victors. Defeat was sustained for the first time when the Kingsmen dropped a 9-7 decision to Brunswick in a road game. The visitors trailed 9-2 entering the seventh inningg then recorded five runs but their rally fell short.
