To this end. there has been inserted a form section including the names of the students and the photographs of each class. In order to add to the interest of the advertising department, a log of the more important events of the year has l een included with the advertisements. The Hoard has endeavored to increase the attractiveness of the annual by a few alterations in design. More than the usual number of snap-shots, photographs, and drawings accompany the edition. In general plan, the 1924 Year Hook has l een closely followed. The actual compiling of the edition has l een entirely in the hands of the Sixth Form. The Hoard would like to express its appreciation, however, to Father Sill for much helpful criticism and advice.

NADAL (Kent 1917) Assistant to the Headmaster Served in the United States Marines, 1918-1919. 10 17 history of tfje Class of 1925 FOUR years ago this Prize Day, there sat among tlie throng of guests assembled for the graduation exercises a group of boys set apart from their contemporaries by their extreme youth and their appearance of awed interest in the ceremonies of the day. This body was the least noticeable of those gathered under the elms; it represented the present Class of 1925 at the end of the first lap of its career. There are not many in our present number who recall the events of that first Prize Day, or the months preceding it which went to make up our first year at Kent. There remain indistinct memories of the confusion of the first days— alcoves, many brooms and dust-pans, jobs to be done, all mingled with a general awe of Sixth Formers. Then there was that notorious resort, the Second Form room. It had an atmosphere of study, and the rows of obedient figures which lined the desks upon the appearance of Father Sill or Mr. Anders or other celebrities conveyed that impression to the world at large. To us, however, the old room arouses memories of periodical rough-houses, a surreptitious exchange of missiles when Squires entertained us during study periods. Second Form year is always picturesque, and it is unseemly for any class to boast of being more capable trouble-makers than were its predecessors. But “The evil that men do lives after them , and the difficulties of Second Form year outlive in tradition accomplishments either scholastic or athletic. We lay no claims to notoriety. We may, however, with pardonable pride point to the fact that during our tenancy, the alcoves were referred to as the sewer of iniquity . Such was our entry into the School. The next year, we found our ranks considerably increased. Some few familiar faces were lost to us, but we had assumed responsibility for more. We began the year with anticipation and elected (’lark as president, an office which he had filled the previous year. We had left the old Dorm and were separated throughout the buildings prepared to enjoy life. The football season that fall was rather disappointing. Choate and Hotchkiss each defeated Kent upon our own field, but the team achieved a memorable victory over Pawling, tying the Columbia Freshmen. Already the Form had begun to show indications of athletic strength. Stafford and J. Palmer made the squad while our Form team took one of the three long-remembered contests from the Fourth Form eleven. That winter,.!. Palmer made the hockey team,our first letter man. Another matter which may seem remarkable in the light of the Form’s present scholastic record was the fact that the marks turned in for the Autiim Term showed the Third Form at the head of the School. And the school average was over seventy at that. The Spring of our Third Form year saw the grading of the athletic field which gave the School a second football field and a fine baseball diamond. The freshets of that year caused the flood which carried away the old bridge and the rude 19 20 awakening of the inhabitants of the Field House in the dead of night to plunge through icy water knee-deep to the more sheltered buildings higher up. Forest fires later on caused diversion and not a little excitement. But the most significant event of the Spring was the organization of Kent's first crew. With the appearance of a shell on the river. Fr. Sill's long-cherished hope for a School crew became a reality. These agencies hel| ed to make the Spring a busy one. Jones and J. Cheney made the baseball squad, though the team suffered a rather unsatisfactory season. The crew took fifth place in the Yale Regatta, an auspicious beginning. On May first, another Fifth Form assumed executive duties, and a new Council was elected. Our representatives were J. Palmer and It. Cady, our other nominees being ('lark and Stafford. Prize Day came again and we bid good-bye to another group. We departed next day, but with a deeper sense of our significance in the school life. Our Fourth Form year possessed a peculiar importance for us. No longer were we lower formers. Through our representatives on the Council, we shared in the School authority. Athletically we were well represented. Palmer was elected President that fall and has not yet been removed from office. The undefeated football team of that year will lx long remembered. Jones and J. Cheney made their letters as regulars and have been valuable men ever since. The hockey team duplicated the performance of the eleven, concluding its schedule with a thrilling win from the Princeton Freshmen by the score of 2-1. J. Palmer was again a regular. Meanwhile, the strip of land between the Chapel and the creek afforded a busy scene as the walls rose for the New Infirmary. In the Spring, it was to be complete. Work had also begun on the new bridge, but progress was slow, and the temporary wooden structure erected to replace the original one still stood through the winter. The Spring Term passed speedily enough. The crew was fast, though Choate twice nosed out the Kent shell in the Yale and Harvard Interscholastic Regattas, each time after a hard race. On May first. Palmer and Cady were reelected to the Council. In June came another Prize Day. This time we began to realize that some day we, in our turn, would be going forth from Kent. In our Fifth Form year, two facts were clearly brought home to us early. The first was that our abilities ran rather to brawn than to brain. The other showed us that we lacked unity and many other attributes of a useful Fifth Form. There were many things to Ik accomplished before we could assume authority. We supplied many candidates for the football squad, but the results were below those of the previous year. The hockey team that year was a strong one. The team defeated St. Mark's, Pomfret, Choate, Hotchkiss, Lawrenceville, and, as in the previous season, wound up its schedule with a bitterly contested win over the Princeton Freshmen. 21 J. Palmer scored the only goal of the game after four overtime periods. The Crew won the Harvard Regatta the following Spring, though it was not so successful in the race at New Haven. The baseball team made a record as good as that of any previous Kent team in that sport. Two games only were lost; Pawling was defeated, 8-4. for the first time in history. All the letter games were victories for Kent. The tennis team was undefeated after a hard schedule. In all of these sports, we were well represented, and the Fifth Form captured first honors in the inter-class track meet. The School was represented that year in the Interscholastic (dee Club Contest in New York for the first time. Under Mr. Kitson's direction, all branches of music prospered. Building operations of the Spring included the erection of a cottage at the end of the football field for Mr. McDowell and the laying of the foundations for the New Dining Hall. The climax of the year was reached for us on May first. Bright and early in the morning, we swarmed up the gaunt old rock armed patriotically with abundant red. blue and white paint. The flag hung at half-mast; we let it hang. Our efforts on the rock produced a red ’25 outlined in white upon a blue background. The combination was not quite what we had hoped for; but the day would have been entirely successful had not one of our members fallen from the top of a tree, luckily without permanent injury save to the tree itself. That evening, we formally assumed charge of affairs. J. Palmer, R. Cady, and Coyle took their places on the platform, and the Fifth Form inspectors went on duty. That Spring was a golden one. Next year was ahead with all the privileges and joys which appertain to the Sixth Form year. That Prize Day sobered us, however. Its significance was stronger than ever before. Behind us were four years, ahead but one. What was the last and l est to l e? Then the ('lass of ’24 went up the hill and left us as virtual Sixth Formers with full responsibilities upon us. We entered our final year with high hopes. The outstanding feature of the year has been the completion of the New Dining Hall. In September, the walls were already built. Soon the roof was completed; interior work progressed rapidly. Day by day, the building grew up to its present state. Any attempt at its description here is ineffective. Few, if any. who read this book are ignorant of its location, size, or beauty. R. Cady, captain of football, led his team through a very successful season. Hotchkiss alone defeated the eleven. Pawling was overwhelmed by the largest score ever made against that school. Choate, Berkshire and Westminster also went down to defeat. The Sixth Form was well represented on the gridiron, eighteen out of twenty letter men being from our number. The hockey season was hampered in the latter half by unfavorable weather conditions. The team, composed of veteran material, faced the stiffest test of any Kent hockey team. Notable victories over Choate, Pomfret, St. Mark’s, Yale and Princeton Freshmen were achieved. The team, however, suffered two 24 YEAR. defeats, at the hands of the Harvard Freshmen and St. Paul’s School. The phenomenal February thaw brought about the greatest flood the Housatonic valley had sustained in many years. This thrill was followed by the swift break-up of the ice-jam. The river was clear enough for the first shell to be launched the day before Washington’s birthday. These events and many more have one by one become our history. We of the Sixth Form have seen in their passing the approaching of our own Prize Day when we, soon to become alumni, perceive close ahead the end of our school careers. What Kent has done for us we can never fully express, neither can we ever hope to repay our debt to her and her Headmaster. To the School, we owe undying loyalty, for she has lies to wed on us whatever qualifications we may possess for accomplishing the tasks that the future holds in store. I o “Pater we owe a gift of undying affection and gratitude,- a scant return for his loving friendship and trust toward us in all our days at Kent.- Now the time is at hand for us, too, to go forth from the School. Yet. in departing, there will be “no sadness of farewell”, for as alumni we shall never in spirit forsake Kent. «5 LYME. 26 Cfje (f raimating Class Joseph Wellington Palmer, President Lyman Bushnell Brainerd John George Breck Alexander Montgomery Brooks David Redman Burbank, Jr. Ernest Ilvde Cady, Jr. .

Hart 67 3Tfje Council r | 'HE School Council, as provided in its Constitution, consists of three members from the Sixth Form and two from each of the Fifth and Fourth Forms. The Sixth Form Councilors, or Prefects, are appointed on May first by the Headmaster and are his representatives. The other members represent the School and are chosen in the following manner. About three weeks before May first, the Third and Fourth Forms meet and nominate four members each. The names of these candidates are submitted to the School and at the annual schoolmeeting on the evening of May first, ballots are cast, two being elected from each form. The Prefects for the coming year are announced at the same meeting and the new council adjourns at once to the Headmaster’s Study to choose a Chairman, Secretary, and Sergeant-at-Arms. The Council meets regularly once a week during the school term. At these sessions, it is its duty (1) to consider all complaints, petitions, and other matters that are submitted in writing by any student or master, provided it be pertinent to the welfare of the School as a whole or any considerable group thereof; (2) to recommend to the Headmaster any measures which seem to be for the best interests of the School and a furtherance of a thorough understanding between the Faculty and the student body; (3) to censure and advise any student whose conduct is in direct violation to the spirit and traditions of the School. A brief review of the Council’s history may make its position in the School clearer. In the Spring of 1908, two boys ran away from the School during the Headmaster’s absence. The master in charge called into conference the three prefects and several other Sixth Formers to decide what the penalty should be. Such meetings were frequently held during the following term in connection with school affairs. The Headmaster felt the need of a representative body of the boys through which lie could clearly make known his wishes and to which the boys might bring any petty complaints they desired to make. To fill this need, the School Council was created in the Fall of 1908. The organization was first considered as an experiment but it soon proved its worth and came to be accepted as a school institution. The constitution was drawn up and has been in use with practically no changes up to the present time. The Council for the past year has been: J. W. Palmer, ’25, Chairman; It. G. Cady, 25, Secretary; W. R. Coyle, Jr., 25; L. T. Smith, ’2( ; J. P. Bent, ’2( ; R. I). Irving, ’27; M.

Neither publication has undergone any changes of arrangement or appearance, although some alterations have been effected in the make-up of the Quarterly. The News has been issued as usual throughout the year. As yet, the enlargement of the paper, recently discussed, is unaccomplished. The only fact worthy of mention in connection with the News is the change in its time of issue. In order to make the paj er a more up-to-date record of events, its issues arc published every Tuesday instead of every Thursday. 'l'he Quarterly, however, has undergone some changes in its composition. The principal cause for change was the growing need recently felt for a truly representative literary publication, an accurate gauge of the School’s literary ability. The Quarterly had no previous intention or claim to this function. When the first issue of tjie magazine appeared in 1908, its avowed intention was to be a news record of the school life for the benefit of friends and alumni. After the News was established, the Quarterly continued as a record and expression of Kent life, limiting itself to articles upon topics of particular interest to friends of Kent. The need for a literary magazine has grown greatly during the past year. The equipping of the Quarterly to fulfill this need has by no means been accomplished in one year. If the change is to be carried out, it will be gradual. The first efforts made in this direction aimed at a larger range of articles from a larger list of contributors. This step was a necessity in making the magazine truly representative; it was also a requirement if any variety was to be found in the contributions. Fiction has been tested and short poems and sketches particularly sought for. These have been introduced with a further view toward variety and in order to make it possible for a worthy piece of description or narration to find a place among the School's l est work. But for these additions, the Quarterly has retained its usual features. A new system governing the competitions has been instituted. The competitions are limited to no specific length of time, while there is no limitation to the number of heelers to Ik finally accepted. The principle of this method is that the Hoard may choose as many heelers as are desirable, while under no obligation to accept any if none have shown sufficient talent. A heeler is accepted only after he has had enough experience to prove his ability, The competitions have also been open to Third Formers to the end that there may be a larger and more capable board available when the Sixth Form is reached. 74 Cijc jfeunbap cfjoolsi IN 1018, in accordance with the wishes of Father Sill, Louis Cuyler, ’20, John Coulthard, ’20, and Grant Noble, ’21 undertook the responsibility of establishing the first Sunday School in the village of Macedonia, about one mile from Kent. When they began their work, there were only thirteen children in the school; but, before the year ended, the enrollment had risen to twenty. During the seven years since its founding, the Sunday Sc hool has had a maximum attendance of thirty children. As an extension of this work, in 1928 another school was organized in North Kent under the leadership of Nathaniel Noble, ’24. This group was fortunate in having for its meeting-place a small, well-equipped chapel, formerly used by the Congregationalists of North Kent. With the books and materials brought from Kent, it has been possible to hold a more or less elaborate service each Sunday afternoon. The classes, two in North Kent and five in Macedonia, arc arranged according to the ages of the children. The eldest range from ten to twelve, the youngest, from three to six. The lesson books, which arc suited to the different classes, have, many of them, been donated by friends of the work. It is the purpose of the Sunday Schools to give the children some knowledge of the life of Christ, the lives of some of the .saints, and a little Church history from both the Old and New Testaments. At Christmas, each Sunday School is given a party at which the children receive gifts and present a program of entertainments. They show their appreciation and enthusiasm by teaching each other poems and stories without the help of the teachers. In the Spring, l cfore the close of the season, picnics are held in the fields near the Sunday Schools. The parents, who never fail to attend these parties, provide most of the refreshments. Both children and teachers participate in the games played. This work is made possible through the generous gifts of Mrs. Bartlett and the contributions of the Kent School students whose interest supplies teachers as well as hel|H rs. Volunteers for these positions serve one year as assistants before taking charge. The following have taken part in the work this year: II. C. Helliwell, 25,1). R. Burbank, ’25, G. C.

Under Mr. Ernest Kitson’s able supervision, these two groups have risen to a high standard, aiming at a broader and more classical range of accomplishments than ever before. Some of the best music has been successfully undertaken,—the compositions, for instance, of Bach, Brahms, and Beethoven. While the clubs have appeared less frequently before the School than last year, more outside concerts have been given. In addition to the trips to Wykeham Rise and New York, where the Interscholastic Contest is annually entered, the (ilee Club, in conjunction with the Classical Orchestra, has presented a varied program at the Town Hall once each term. The first of these concerts was delivered last spring, being met with such surprising success that Mr. Kitson determined to continue the custom more frequently this year. In the (ilee Club, Mr. Kitson has had to cope with the usual difficulty arising from the lack of first tenors. The only remedy for this has been to seek out those whose head tone or falsetto would encompass the desired range. The club has profited greatly by the occasional advice of the father of one of the boys. At the time of the writing, prospects for the annual contest in New York are far brighter than last year when the club, really devoid of all experience, competed for the first time. For the past year, the officers of the Club, appointed by Mr. Kitson, have been: J. Van B. Griggs, President; J. G. Sherman, Vice-President; and Ralph W. Cram, Secretary. The Classical Orchestra's progress has l een due in a large sense to the excellent tutelage of Mr. J. P. Russell and Mr. Carl Piseatello, the latter teaching the cello, the former, the violin. Mr. Russell and Mr. Piseatello visit the School Tuesday and Wednesday of each week. Inasmuch as the Classical Orchestra now contains a viola, Mr. Kitson considers developing a string quartet l efore the end of the year. No mention has yet been made of the Dance Orchestra. The latter, led by Coyle, is quite up to the standard of previous orchestras but may hardly be classed as an organization since it has not rehearsed regularly and has appeared only on special occasions. Music has l een greatly aided by the complete equipping of the Form House for club rehearsals and for Mr. Kitson’s Second and Third Form classes in Musical Appreciation. The Form House has thus acquired the title, “Music Box”. Music’s greatest need at Kent is now tradition. Before last year, there were no traditions and few standards to work for. An attitude of indifference toward music inevitably resulted, and it is this attitude which Mr. Kitson is trying to overcome. Indeed, in the short period that he has been at Kent, he has accomplished wonders. 7« Clje Co=operattbe Stores THE Co-operative Stores are divided into three departments, the Stationery Store, the Athletic Store and the Pop Tent. The Stationery Store supplies the books required for tl� e regular curriculum as well as pencils, pads, and other necessary articles. The Athletic Store, as the name implies, furnishes athletic equipment needed for the various sports. The Pop Tent, which is named somewhat erroneously, since it neither sells pop nor is a tent, vends candy and other confections. As the School has grown larger, the Co-operative Stores have become more ami more an essential part of the Kent system. In the early days of the School, “Frere” Hobbie maintained a small supply of books and pencils in his room from which he supplied the needs of the hoys. In 1910, the business branched out to a room in Basement Hall B, assumed the name “Stationery Store and flourished under the management of some Sixth Formers supervised by the “Frere . Mr. Hobbie built such a firm foundation that when he left the School in 1917, a Sixth Former, with his assistants, was able to carry on the business successfully. Two years later, the organization moved to its present quarters adjoining the Common Room. A great need had l een felt for an Athletic Store simply because the boys found it inconvenient to send a long distance for their equipment. Consequently, in the Fall of 1914, a gloomy room in the basement of the Main Building, since occupied by a furnace, became the site of a new store. From here the store moved to the quarters in Basement Hall B, recently occupied by the Stationery Store, but in 1923, it once again changed its location, this time to the Lower Hall in the Main Building. This year it shares the somewhat enlarged quarters of the Stationery Store. The most popular store is the pop tent. Its peculiar name seems to date back to the early days of the School when a tent was pitched on the athlectic field from which pop and candy were sold. During the Spring and Fall, business is carried on in a substantial shack, replacing the original tent, standing near the grandstands on the edge of Alumni Field. In the winter months it holds sway in Basement Hall B in the store which was once occupied in turn by each of the other two organizations. 77 Dramatics' r | AUE reign of drama at Kent has extended over a period of nineteen years. During the first year of the School, plays were produced in the town by rival companies from the School. For a brief period, however, the cause of dramatics lay dormant, and not until 1911 was that far-famed farce, “What Happened to Jones”, presented. Four years later, Mr. Charlier organized and coached the cast of William Gillette’s, “Secret Service”. From then on, many one-act “thrillers” written and directed by Father Sill incited much enthusiasm. The latter still remains. Not a play has l een produced that has not received the whole-hearted backing and interest of the student body. Dramatics were placed on a par with other school activities in the Fall of 1944 when “The Ghost of Jerry Bundler”, a one-act English play was presented under the direction of Mr. C. V. Wright. This production awakened a new feeling: dramatics must be organized. Accordingly, J. T. Frey, M ay man ieths, and Henry Bragdon were appointed a committee to consider other plays for staging, and to chose the casts. Later that year, the never-to-be-forgotten “Terror by Night”, a clever but difficult play in three acts built alx ut Sir Conan Doyle's great creation, “Sherlock Holmes”, was successfully staged under Air. Wright's supervision. J. T. Frey in the leading role was admirable, while “My dear Watson”, Hoyt Spelman, Jr., and J. Bagstcr-Collins in the part of the villain impressed the School as being accomplished actors. Indeed, the whole cast was unusually well chosen. With its departure in the spring, a gap was left in the field of dramatics that was not easy to fill. Only three remained to carry on the work and to keep future productions up to the standard set by the “Terror by Night”. The Thanksgiving play in 1944 was entitled “It” after a drama by Ix rd Dunsany. The work of W. Lang more, Muldaur, and (’. Bragdon was especially praiseworthy, all three cleverly filling difficult speaking roles. It was here evident that an ample supply of acting material remained upon which Mr. Wright might depend for the two plays which were to In given in the spring. One was the “System of Dr. Tarr and Prof. Feather”, translated from the French by II. Bragdon and Mr. Wright. The acting of Charles Muldaur in the part of a lunatic was admirable, l eing effected with precision and finesse. Henry Bragdon also stood out in the part of a reporter. The “Crimson Cocoanut”, by Ian Hay, was the next presentation and constituted the first humorous attempt that had l een made for some time. Not without some misgivings was it offered by the Coach and Dramatic Board. The applause with which it was greeted, however, proclaimed it one of the best. R. Wagner as a waiter was naturally amusing, while Russell, taking the role of a grumpy old man, was recognized as promising material. 79 Thus far this year but one play lias been given, “A Game of Chess”, by Kenneth Sawyer Goodman. C. I). Stillman as the Governor of Kronstadt in Russia gave an excellent protrayal of a Russian nobleman, performing his part with uncommon finesse and clarity of diction. Coyle rendered a skillful interpretation of the part of an anarchist foiled by the ready wits of the governor. 'Phe staging was a feature, due to the efficient work of B. T. Lyall, Stage Manager, and the help and advice of Mr. Gordon Haight, a member of the Faculty. Plans for the production to come later in the year have not yet taken definite shape. Before closing, we should not fail to say a few words of appreciation to Mr. Wright in recognition of his services. Since he returned to the School in 10-24, he has devoted much of his time to dramatics. lie has raised them to a high standard solely through his interest in that branch of art. The lion’s share of the credit attending a successful production should go to him, for by his creative interpretations and tireless coaching, he brings to the plays whatever success they meet. Mr. C. V. Wright Coach of Dramatics 80 Cfjc iHlumnt gtesociatton THE Alumni Association was organized in 15)07 on the first Prize Day. Osgood IVrrv, Anson Gardner, and Alfred Sweet, the first graduates of Kent, were the charter members. The Association now has an enrollment of about four hundred and fifty, and all who have graduated, or whose form has graduated, are eligible to become members. The former method of fixed dues has been given up, and each member is now expected to contribute something to the Alumni Fund. The Fund pays for the prizes for Essays and Public Speaking, which are awarded each Prize Day, and for other expenses of the Association. The meetings are held annually, usually sometime during February. There is also a meeting on the evening of Prize Day to welcome the new members from the graduating class. The organ through which the association is known to the school officially is the Alumni Council, which is composed of Samuel S. Bartlett ’18, Chauncey A. Crawford ’Of), Douglas (’. Crawford TO, Alexander H. Woods ’ll, and Theodore F. Evans To. The Council meets at the school at least once a year and makes a thorough inspection of the equipment and management. The faculty and representatives of the various student organizations and activities are interviewed, and a report is made to the Headmaster. The Council also makes such suggestions that may come up out of the investigation. The Council held its annual meeting in February and, after the customary reports had been read, a resolution concerning the Alumni Endowment Fund was adopted. The resolution states that a fund, known as the Kent School Alumni Endowment, be created and inaugurated by the sum of fifteen hundred dollars to be appropriated from the Treasury. Until the principal of the Fund reaches twenty-five thousand dollars, no part of the interest shall be paid to the Kent School Corporation. After it has reached that amount, the Corporation shall receive the interest of the Fund. The annual reunion of 1945 was held over the week-end of Washington's Birthday, and thirteen classes were represented by the forty-five alumni who attended. It was the largest gathering of graduates in the last few years. The hockey game between the school and a team of picked alumni, which always arouses great interest, had to be canceled on account of lack of ice. All other parts of the program were carried out successfully. The officers of the association are as follows: President, Samuel S. Bartlett T8; Vice-President, Douglas (’. Crawford TO; Secretary, Chauncey A. Crawford ’09; Corresponding Secret ary-Treasurer, Dixon Walker T9. Class Secretaries: C. A. Crawford ’08 and ’09, 1). W. Kent TO. A. H. Woods ’ll, W.

There was founded a few miles below Kent a school to Ik run under the same plan as that already established at Kent. This institution was named after its parent school, l eing called South Kent. Samuel S. Bartlett and Richard Cuyler, both alumni at Kent of the Class of 1918, were the Headmaster and Assistant Headmaster, respectively. Stanley Goodwin, Kent ’40, completed the Faculty. To find a more suitable site for the founding of a school would be difficult. South Kent is situated on the east side of a hill overlooking a small pond, and facing Kent Mountain. The building consists of an old farmhouse reconstructed to satisfy the demands of such an institution. Nearby is a plot of ground suitable for an athletic field, and a plentiful water supply has been provided. The location further affords good drainage. The purpose of South Kent is the same as that of Kent; namely, “to provide at a minimum cost for boys of ability and character, who presumably upon graduation must be self-supporting, a combined academic and scientific course. Simplicity of Life, Self-Reliance, and Directness of Purpose arc to l c especially encouraged.” The school opened a year ago last September with an enrollment of twenty-four scholars, a number which increased to twenty-eight at the beginning of the Winter Term. There were but two forms, the Second and Third. Last Fall the curriculum included the Second, Third, and Fourth Forms and the enrollment had risen to forty. A form will be added each year until 194( when there will be a complete course of study. The Faculty was augmented last Fall by Father Kemmis, an English priest, who was secured as resident chap- 84 lain and master of French. The Housemother lias been Miss Clara I)ulon, who has proved most careful and efficient in this capacity. At South Kent, as at Kent, the jobs are all taken eare of by the students. A council has been formed, but, owing to the age of its members, it has not yet reached the stage where it is able to handle the greater responsibilities. South Kent has thus far shown up well in athletics. The football team, coached by Mr. Cuyler in the Fall of 1948, won decisively from Rumsey Hall and the Gunnery Juniors. The team suffered two defeats because it was much outweighed, one at the hands of the Canterbury, the other from the Pawling Juniors. These opponents were held scoreless until the afore-mentioned handicap began to count. The big game of the season was with the Kent Juniors and this was lost, 7-0 due to the greater experience of the other team. The 1944 season was considerably broken up through sickness. A brilliant victory of 18-3 over Gunnery and games lost to Rumsey Hall and Pawling Juniors were as far as the season progressed. '1'he hockey and baseball teams have also shown evidences of material that should make for strong future combinations. The sextet has alternated playing the Kent Third, Fourth, and Fifth Form teams, while the nine has had on its schedule Rumsey Hall. Gunnery, and the Kent Juniors. It is probable that time is short before South Kent will find a place on all of the Kent first team schedules. The Autumn of 1944 was somewhat interrupted by the breaking out of scarlet fever. There were only two cases; notwithstanding, it was thought best for the rest of the school to return home for a period of three weeks since there was no place where contagious diseases might be quarantined. Not a great deal of work was lost, however, for by shortening the Christmas and Faster vacations two days each, much was regained. An experiment of much interest was tried at South Kent last summer which materialized successfully and became of great avail to the school financially. Mr. Bartlett and Mr. Cuyler, under the direction of the head farmer, were responsible for an unusually abundant crop of tobacco, staying at the school during the greater part of the summer for the sole purpose of nursing this undertaking along. Out of the the two and one-half acres of land cultivated, the profits amounted to fourteen hundred dollars. There is a striking resemblance between the founding of Kent and that of South Kent. Nineteen years ago, Kent was established. A farm-house was the only building the school owned. A group of eighteen boys and three masters assembled there to found an institution wherein one might find training in “Simplicity of Life, Self-Reliance, and Directness of Purpose.” Today Kent is what they aspired to make it. A similar event took place in the Fall of 1943 when South Kent came into being. The first two years have been successful and encouraging. South Kent’s progress is being followed and will continue to be followed with the greatest interest of the students of Kent who wish Mr. Bartlett all success in years to come. 83 Clje jfatfjers’ gtesociation THE Fathers’ Association of Kent School has, during the five years of its activity, done much to promote the welfare of the School and to incite the interest of the fathers. At present, the Association is a definite organization. Its financial support, especially in connection with the various building undertakings, has been of great consequence. Recently, it has appropriated funds for the construction of a new athletic field. The most important phase of its work, that of keeping the parents of boys in touch with the School, is carried on through the annual conference held in May. The history of the latter may be of some interest. In the Autumn of 1919, the Headmaster called a meeting of the fathers in New York City to discuss matters pertaining directly to the life at Kent. It was at this time that the fathers determined to hold a conference at the School. The meeting thus planned was to take place in February. When the appointed date approached, however, the mercury descended to twenty-two degrees below zero, and, according to all reports, the Association had a hard struggle for existence. It was decided, therefore, to postpone the conference in future years until May in order that the fathers might more fully appreciate the beauty of the School's surroundings and maintain their health at the same time. This plan was adopted and has since been followed with success. The conference has adhered to its original program each year with but a few slight changes. Last May there was a record attendance of seventy fathers. The latter began to arrive on Friday night. That evening, they met the Faculty in the Headmaster’s study; College Hoard marks were talked over and means of improving the tone of the School discussed. The following morning, the fathers were divided into committees to inspect the school plant. Inspection was made of every department of the life. In the late morning and in the afternoon, the fathers were at liberty to see the school teams in action. Tennis, crew, and baseball were in order. Saturday evening, the fathers were the guests of the Dramatic Association, which presented two one-act plays. On Sunday, after the morning service, there was a business meeting at which the committees on inspection rendered their reports along with any suggestions for improvements which they deemed necessary. Accounts were looked over and addresses delivered by Mr. Charlier and Father Sill. After dinner, the fathers and sons went to the field to participate in the annual game. Strangely enough, the fathers lost for the first time, 13-9. The game was the last scheduled event of the conference. These conventions are always enjoyed. The fathers share the boys’ rooms and enter in every way into the life of the School. The success of the meetings may be measured by the increasing numbers in attendance. At the first meeting, thirty-six were present; seventy attended last May. 84 fje abio Club AT Kent, radio has had a small but important part in the life of the School for a number years. In the winter of 1921, the kitchen in the rear of the Form House was transformed into a wireless room. A set was assembled by the boys interested in wireless and electricity, affording an opportunity for a few to learn something about the theory of the science. In the succeeding years, the club has been enlarged and improved. Classes for the purpose of learning the code and becoming acquainted with the different phases of radio have l� een organized recently. Last year, however, the need was felt for a bigger and better outfit. Therefore, due to the energetic work of two members of the Sixth Form, one hundred and twenty-five dollars was subscribed by the School towards the purchase of a five-tube neutrodyne set. A friend of the School kindly offered to undertake its construction. After completion early in the Spring Term, the new set was installed in the Common Room. A loud speaker which remained from the previous outfit was hitched up for the benefit of the School. In the Fall, the set was again connected up. Much interest and not a little excitement was evinced in the play-by-play results of the World Series, while later many fellows gathered in the Common Room to listen to the accounts of the big football games. The speeches in the Presidential Campaign aroused a good measure of enthusiasm, several members of the Faculty and Sixth Form listening to the election returns until the small hours of the morning. Throughout the year, music and concerts have l een received regularly. The Radio Club was reorganized during the Fall Term by King, President of the Club. At the first meeting, he explained the purpose of the club and outlined the policy for the coming year. The intricacies of the set have been disclosed to the members, while regular meetings have been held from time to time. The following have l een members during the past year: Olcott King, President Sterling McMillan, Sec'y-Treas. Allen Culbertson W. Harris R. Baker Cuyler Hazen Breck Edey Hough Bright Frey Jacoby Burkham Gaylord R. Kent Burroughs Hamilton Litchfield Coyle Harmon Lukens John Lincoln, 0perator McDougal Sayre R. Oakley L. Smith Perry S.

The present dining room and kitchen have long been inadequate, and there has been urgent demand for more bedrooms—both for boys and for servants. The realization of all these virtual necessities is fulfilled in the New Dining Hall, which, it is hoped, will be in use by the time the Year Hook is published. Five years ago, architectural plans for such a building were worked out by Mr. Sylvester of Boston, but it was not until the Fall of 1943 that Father Sill began concentrated efforts for the raising of the money necessary to carry these plans into effect. To Kent parents and alumni he issued an appeal for the $400,000 which was required. Hv last September, $73,000 had actually been paid, and through the untiring efforts of Father Sill and the generosity of those who had interests in the School, the remainder was either pledged or loaned so that the work of construction might proceed uninterrupted. Just to the northwest of the New Infirmary, ground for this building was broken on the seventeenth of April last year, and since that date progress has been remarkable. Before school closed in June, the laying of the foundations was well under way, and at the time of its reopening last Autumn, with the exception of the tile roofing, the exterior was practically complete. Some of the floors and partitions were also in place. During the next two months, the tile roofing was entirely finished and the heating plant and the electrical and plumbing equipment installed. As the Christmas Holidays opened, the rough plastering had been completed throughout as well as the walls of the whole second floor and the ceiling of the dining room itself. On account of the many upstairs rooms, the remainder of the work had to proceed much more slowly. Nevertheless, the contractors, II. P. Cummings Co., of Ware, Mass., declared that they hoped to have the building ready for occupancy by the first of April, 1945. The dining room is to be beautifully paneled in oak along the walls. Tables and chairs to match have been donated by the Mothers’ Association. The dining room will have a capacity of three hundred under ordinary circumstances, but by rearranging the tables on special occasions, many more may l e comfortably provided for. The dining room is of such height that it occupies two entire stories, but over the kitchen wing there are accomodations for household help. Rooms for forty-four boys are on the third floor together with the most modern shower and washroom equipment. The culinary, refrigerating and storage facilities are up-to-date and will be more than adequate for the demands upon them. 87 President Vice-President Secretary Kent 5 Kent 4 R.

Rhinelander Richmond Robbins Roots Sands Symonds Woodward 89 Cfjeste THREE years ago, the first Chess Club was organized under Mr. Hilliard's direction. A good measure of interest was shown at the start, the Club early gaining a large enrollment. Fred Hawkins became President and, with Mr. Hilliard, arranged several tournaments. Interest was heightened considerably during the Winter Term bv the visit of Mr. F. J. Marshall, Champion of the United States. After winning two blindfold matches against consulting teams in one afternoon, Mr. Marshall encountered over fifty opponents simultaneously the same evening, taking all of the games with the single condescension of a draw. Later in the year, a team of five was selected to engage in a match with Taft School. In this first meet, Kent was defeated 3-2. The following Autumn saw the Club very much changed. Graduation had caused many vacancies, but these were promptly filled by enrolling new members. Ralph Wallace was elected President, a position previously occupied by Hawkins. That Winter, two matches were played with Taft, and both were Kent victories. M. Maclay, at board No. 1, played brilliantly against an unusually strong opponent. The scores of the matches were and 3-2. In the Fall of 1923, Rich was chosen President and P. II. Rhinelander, Secretary. Mr. Marshall paid a second visit to the School during the Fall Term, but on this occasion, especially in the blindfold matches, met with less success. On one board, he was defeated by the School team in consultation, while on the other, the masters secured a draw. In the next term, another contest was arranged with Taft, the result of which was a complete Kent victory t 5-0. Last Autumn, the Club was joined by several members of the lower forms who were practically devoid of all experience in Chess, but who, with some training in the principles of the game, gave signs of promise for future teams. This was encouraging inasmuch as the 25 team was composed entirely of Sixth Formers. Rich retained his position as President, I . Rhinelander became Vice-President, and Sherman, Secretary. Shortly after Thanksgiving, Mr. Carlos Torre, a Mexican champion, also champion of the Western United States, spent two days at Kent, during which he played and won several consultation matches and gave one simultaneous exhibition. On March 7, the team decisively defeated Yale University, 4-1. F. Rich, on board No. 1, played brilliantly and won against an unusually strong opponent. In addition to the match with Taft, the team is contemplating a possibly fuller schedule this year, and, not having lost any members of last year’s team, looks forward to a successful season. 90 IG loaiR l-.A«aa ?.gy - ha WAISAflA wm i uy yjj kJi XT' ENT is now entering upon its fourth year of rowing. Each year, with the enthusiasm of the student body behind it, the sport has developed, increasing from the small nucleus layed in March, 1922 until now over one third of the School participates either on the various form crews or on the varsity squad. The 1944 first crew undertook a difficult schedule including two freshman races and two regattas. Prospects for the season were only fairly bright since but three letter men returned. Captain Mart, stroke Grant, and Helliwell. The other places in the boat were filled by members of the previous year's second eight. Work on the rowing machines was carried on through the winter and twenty days of practice had been held on the river by the time of the first race on April 40. The Yale Freshman 150-pound crew came to Kent for the first meet which took place under ideal weather conditions. As usual, the race was rowed over the one-mile course. The two boats raced on even terms to the half-mile mark when the Kent stroke was quickened from thirty-two to thirty-six and the School eight gained the lead. A Yale spurt during the last quarter was futile and Kent finished one quarter of a length ahead of its opponent. The following week, Kent easily defeated the Columbia Freshman second eight on the home course. Grant was not forced to employ a higher stroke than thirty at any time and his crew steadily pulled away from the other until the two were separated by three lengths at the finish. On Friday, May 9, the first crew shell was taken to Derby in preparation for the Yale Interscholastic Regatta. A brief workout was held on the Housa-tonic that afternoon, and in the evening, all of the competing crews assembled at a banquet at the Hotel Taft in New Haven. The race was called at 4:45 P.M. the following day. Kent possessed the inside course. Other eights • 9.‘{ I). R. Burbank Captain of the 1925 Crew participating were Choate, Culver, Episcopal Academy, DeWitt Clinton, and New Rochelle. Kent got off to a poor start and, with Episcopal Academy, trailed the other boats to the three-quarter mile mark. The stroke was raised at this point and the crew gained steadily to the finish, placing fifth. The race was won by Choate, Culver being second. Kent’s was perhaps the prettiest form of any combination on the water, but the higher strokes used by the other eights gave them the advantage. The following Friday on the Charles River, however, all competitors were left far in its wake and Kent finished three lengths ahead of the nearest t oat. It was the School’s second entry in the Harvard Regatta, having placed second to Choate the previous year. The crew rowed in beautiful form at a high count. I'p to the half-way mark, Lynn led slightly but it was here that Kent began its winning spurt. Lynn finished second, Huntington, third, and Brookline, last. At a banquet following the regatta. 1). R. Burbank was elected captain of the 1945 eight. The second crew listed but one race which it lost to the Choate seconds by three lengths on the home course on May 17. The Choate eight was decidedly superior, its victory resulting from a steady advance. The next week a Junior four-oared combination went to Wallingford where it raced the Choate Juniors, losing by a length and a half. The form crews, coached by Mr. Walker, practised faithfully through the spring. The Interclass Races were held on Prize Day and, for the first time, on the upper course. The Senior races were won by the Fourth Form over the Fifth Form and the Juniors by the Second Form over the Third Form second crew. All of the races were fairly close. This annual regatta provides an exhibition of what is being done in the lower forms to develop strong oarsmen for future years. Just as each year the number of fellows wishing to row has increased, so the equipment has been enlarged little by little to meet the demands for a larger Elyot Henderson crew organization. For the first year of rowing, two Manager of Crew 94 second band shells were purchased from the New York Athletic (Muh and oars were secured at a nominal price thru I)r. Howe of Harvard. The old chicken-house which stood by the river was converted into a boat-house, and soon a float appeared. Machines were installed at the same time in the gymnasium. Later the School was presented with a shell from Yale by 191 k - J MMl wav encouragement. The following year two new | } shells, the gift f Mr. -I. S. Cosdcn. were constructed ■ {99� ™l by Davcy and Son of boston. A new boat-house was I built to house them and a launch procured for coaching purposes. A new set of oars also arrived from Avling and Son, England. A fund under the leadership of W. It. Coyle ’25 has been completed to purchase a new racing shell. Specifications have been drawn up for the latter, which is expected along with a new set of sweeps by March 1. The boat is being constructed by Sims and Son, of Putney, England. Work has been started in building a more permanent float. The latter will complete the crew equipment. The prospects for the 1925 season are bright. Six letter men have returned, Burbank (Cap’t.), Helliwell, E. Cady, R. Cady, J. Palmer, and Murchie besides the coxswain. Col more. These men, with the addition of the l est from last year’s second crew, should compose the strongest eight Kent has had thus far. Owing to the amount of work to be covered on the course and in the boathouse, two managers have been elected for the season of 1925, W. R.

Winning over such strong teams as Choate, Hotchkiss, Taft, Berkshire, and, for the first time, Pawling, the team will long be remembered as one of the best, if not the best baseball aggregation ever seen in action on a Kent field. Thirty-five players reported to Coach Nadal on April 9. With eight letter men and five numeral men remaining from the previous year, the prospects for the season were most auspicious. The veteran pitchers. Bent and Sanford, were mainstays of the team. Their excellent work throughout the season was probably the greatest factor of the nine’s success. With. J. Cheney, Goetze, Howell, and Jones again at their regular positions and with Muldaur at shortstop, the infield was exceptionally strong. The material for the outfield did not seem very promising at first, but due to Mr. Nadal’s fine coaching, a first-rate outfield was formed consisting of Cosden, Fearing, and B. Cheney. The team won the first game of the season from Salisbury by a score of 5-4 on Saturday, April 28. Sands’ triple with bases full and Sanford’s pitching proved too much for the opponents. The following Wednesday, April 2(5, the New Haven Boys’ Club met defeat when, in the seventh inning, Kent came from behind on Bent’s triple which brought in two runs. The score was 4-8. Striking out nineteen men and allowing but two hits, Sanford pitched the Kent nine to its third victory of the season over Hopkins Grammar School on April 80. The team played errorless ball and came through with a 8-1 score in its favor. Saturday, May 8, the first defeat was received in a well-plaved game against Westminster by a 1-0 score. Captain Bent of the home team and 1)9 Curtiss of the visitors did fine work in the box. On May 7, the team downed Gunnery on the home diamond after a seven years break of first team competition with that school. The Kent nine showed improvement in its batting by amassing seventeen hits. In the box. Perry and Fearing allowed but six hits; score: Kent. 8; Gunnery, 4. Saturday, May 10, with perfect support from the rest of the team. Sanford pitched a no-hit, no-run game against Canterbury at New Milford. Fearing batted 1.000 percent and was responsible for several of Kent's six runs. For the first time since 1!)1( Hotchkiss was defeated on May 11 in a game characterized by the heavy hitting of both teams. Erratic fielding and Quinn's wildness gave the home team four of its runs;—the final score was 5-3. On Saturday, May 17, the Kent team went down to its second and last defeat before Irving at Tarry-town. Inability to hit in pinches lost Kent a number ,, . . . ,n... of runs, for twenty-one players reached first, and Captain of the 1925 ream . 1 opportune batting would have scored them, lhe heavy hitting of the Irving team earned for it the 8-2 victory. In an eleven inning game, the nine defeated Berkshire 5-8 on Thursday, May 22. By tying the score in the ninth, the team averted defeat and won in the eleventh. After losing for three years, Kent turned the tallies and won from Choate on May 24 in a hard-fought pitchers’ duel between Sanford and Tracy. The former allowed only four hits and struck out fourteen men. Both nines went through the game without an error and although Choate threatened to score several times, they were unsuccessful, Kent winning by the score of 1-0. The game with Taft on May 28 was the ninth victory of the season, the score being 6-5. Howell’s triple with bases full put Kent in the lead in the second inning and Taft was unable to overcome this advantage through the rest of the game. Captain Bent, although hit freely, worked well with the basemen and kept his opponents from making their hits count. 100 L. S. Hoffman Manager of the 1025 Team The season's second game with Berkshire was won after a rally in the latter part of the contest. Sanford and Bent divided the pitching honors, allowing Imt four hits. The score was 5-2. The climax of the season was reached when the team defeated Pawling 8-2 on Wednesday, June 4, the first time in the history of the School that Kent has overcome Pawling in baseball. In the third inning, ten men faced I eonard, the Pawling pitcher, and six runs came in. In the fifth inning, two more hits, a double hv Muldaur and another squeeze play, raised the score to eight. Sanford pitched very well until the eighth when he passed two batters and allowed two out of Pawling's three hits. He struck out seventeen men. A week later, a post-season game was played with Canterbury at New Milford. The play was close until the eighth inning when Kent scored five runs and won, 5-3. Kent made but four hits, one being a home run by J. Cheney. Much credit for the success of the season is due to Coach “Bill Xadal, 'I7y whose unstinted efforts and self-sacrifice instilled in the team that fighting spirit which was responsible for most of its victories. At the conclusion of the season, Graham Jones was elected captain of tli 1925 nine. At the same time, Hoffman was appointed manager for the coming year. £fje Reason Kent Opponent April 23 Salisbury 5 4 April 20 New Haven Boys’ Club 4 3 April 30 Hopkins Grammar 3 1 May 3 Westminster 0 1 May 7 Gunnery 8 2 May 10 Canterbury 0 0 May 14 Hotchkiss 5 3 May 17 Irving 2 8 May 21 Berkshire 5 3 May 24 Choate 1 0 May 28 Taft 0 5 May SO Berkshire 5 2 June 4 Pawling 8 2 Total 58 34 Games won 11 2 101 Name £fjc {Team Position Form Bent (Cap't.)

With a harder schedule than had been faced before, the team wound up the season with six victories to its credit and no defeats. For the first time in the history of the School, the team was awarded full “K’s”—blue letters on a grey background. These letters were given in recognition of an undefeated season. A lack of material was evident at the start. Captain Palmer being the only letter man who had not graduated. As soon as the courts were put in condition, a large squad reported to Coach Humphries for practice. Hamlen, W. ('lark, K. Moore, P. Rhinelander, and Langmore were chosen to fill the vacancies on the team. The first match with Columbia Freshmen had to be cancelled owing to a steady rainfall. On May 10. the team journeyed to New York to play Poly Prep. 11. Palmer was defeated by Stokum in a fast match, but played well in the doubles coupled with Hamlen, defeating Stokum and Faison 0-4, 7-5. The remaining matches were all won by Kent. In the Yale Interscholastics, held at New Haven the following week, the team finished in fifth place. Due to the fact that some of the best players of the tournament were met in the first round, Hamlen was the only Kent player to reach the third frame. II. Palmer, however, in the first round, put up a fine game against the winner of the tournament, twice having his opponent at match point. K. Moore, after easily winning in the first round, was downed in the second in a three set match. W. Langmore and W. (’lark likewise succeeded in taking their first round matches, but in the second, they were both eliminated by their opponents. 107 II. Palmer Captain of the Team During the two ensuing weeks, Kent faced five teams, all on the home courts. On the twenty-second of May, Pawling was overcome 5-4. Ha mien’s victory was the most closely contested, and after much fine tennis on both sides, he emerged the winner, 10-8, 7-5. Hamlen’s net work was the feature of his playing. Woodward and Yeomans substituted for the second doubles team, K. Moore and P. Rhinelander. Their playing factored in scoring another victory for Kent. Choate was encountered several days later. II. Palmer, on court one, exhibiting fine form defeated Lockhart in straight sets. K. Moore’s accurate placements were mainly responsible for his victory over Stoddard. P. Rhinelander, after losing the first set to his opponent, played a brilliant game and rallied to win the deciding two 6-3, 6-3. In the doubles, Lang-more and ('lark scored a well-earned 6-3, 10-8 victory over their adversaries. Three matches were called off on account of rain but not until Kent had scored a margin of victory. Canterbury was defeated 4-3. Clark’s steadiness and his deep court playing enabled him to overcome E. Devereux 6-8, 3-6, 7-5. Two substitute doubles teams were again used, and again Woodward ami Yeomans won their mateh. The last two schools, namely Berkshire and Bridgeport High School, were overcome 6-1. 6-0, respectively. In the match with Berkshire the only encounter to go three sets was in the doubles. P. Rhinelander and K. Moore, although they lost the first set 3-6, took the final games 6-4, 6-1, thereby making the tally 6-1. The match with the Bridgeport High School completed the schedule. With five letter men back—H. Palmer, W. Clark. K. Moore, P. Rhinelander, and Langmore—and with Palmer again as Captain, prospects for the coming season are unusually bright. Among the improvements planned in the new athletic field are five tennis courts. These have been generously donated by the father of one of the boys, and will be constructed directly north of present foot- j j K Davis ball field. The work should Ik completed early in May.

The season's record, embracing six victories, one tie, and one defeat, approached that of the 1922 championship team. Prominent among the victories was that over Pawling, 57-6, the largest total ever rolled up by Kent against Pawling in football. Berkshire and Westminster were also defeated by decisive counts. The season was crowned by a well-earned 13-6 victory over Choate. The team's chief power lay in its attack, but the defense eould always Ik relied upon and at times did brilliant work. Certain players continually stood out. Captain R. G. Cady, right halfback, whose end runs always meant an advance for Kent, proved himself to Ik an able leader. The return of his brother, K. II. Cady, who led the '23 eleven, contributed notably to the strength of the backfield. Jones, fullback, and J. Cheney, a tackle, both veterans of the 1922 team, were mainstays of the defense. In addition, Jones offensive work, especially in the Choate game, was a great factor, while his punting for the season averaged forty yards. In Muldaur. the team possessed one of the fastest quarter-backs in this part of the country. The fact that these stars were in the line-up. however, did not prevent coordination. Altogether, it was unity rather than brilliant playing which gave the team the advantage over its opponents. This unity was owed to the Coach M. I). Nadal. From the start, strong material for the backfield was in abundance. Of the fifteen who reported for early practice, seven—most of them backfield men— were veterans. To develop linemen to fill the vacancies caused by graduation was the problem. The latter was partly solved by the return of Hugh Russ, Kent '17, Lafayette 21, a guard on the Lafayette championship team, who 113 gave his services as line coach for a week. By the time of tiie first game, a line had developed around J. Cheney, Pond and Burhank—“K” men from the 43 eleven. The New Haven Boys’ Club brought to Kent its customary group of clean, hard-fighting, hard-tackling players for the first game on September 27. Neither team advanced beyond the other’s thirty during the first half, but in the second. Kent had the ball in foreign territory most of the time. E. Cady scored the single touchdown in the third period. The game showed a fair offense and a consistent defense in running plays. The following week brought opportunity to test the reserve material. The 33-0 score amassed against the Pittsfield High School proved that the second string men were able to carry on the game without materially weakening any positions to which they were assigned. The Williams Freshmen were encountered away on October 11. Kent’s attack was superior to that of its opponents, three times threatening to score. While the line was considerably outweighed, it was encouraging to note the strength and fight of the defense when it held for four consecutive downs on the three-vard line. Although a 3-3 tie was the result, this game was distinctly encouraging in that it pointed to the style of play later exhibited by the team in its big games. The Hotchkiss team proved itself too strong and too fast for Kent at Lakeville on the eighteenth, delivering the season’s only defeat, 4 2-0. The contest was a bitter struggle from start to finish. Kent gained consistently, but the defense was unable to offset the splendid interference of the Hotchkiss men. The next week, however. Pawling was overwhelmed 57-6 on Alumni Field. The first half, ending 18-6 in Kent’s favor, seemed to point to a close result. Pawling owned an aerial attack against which Kent had no apparent defense, and the outcome was far from certain when the teams lined up for the third period. In the final quarters, however. Pawling was kept from additional scoring, while Kent’s attack, led by Muldaur, was unchecked and amassed forty-four points. The Berkshire game, also played at Kent, was taken by a 34-7 score. The opposing team, possessed of a passing attack even superior to Pawling’s, completely outplayed Kent in the second half and might easily have won. Kent scored twenty-seven points early in the game. Muldaur, eluding the entire Berkshire defense, dashed eighty yards for the final touchdown in the last quarter. R. G. Cady Captain of the 1925 Team 114 In this contest, flic Kent line was impregnable, all of Berkshire's seventeen first downs being gained through her aerial offensive. Westminster, one of two schools having an advantage over Kent in the number of football games won, brought a powerful eleven from Simsbury on November S. both lines were impenetrable, and the two teams were compelled to punt frequently. The visitors were out rushed eleven first downs to five and met defeat, 40-0. The game marked the first between Kent and Westminster since 1911, and the outcome evened the total of victories. On November 15, the team lined-up against Choate at Wallingford. Though Kent had bowed to Hotchkiss and though Choate was undefeated, the former eleven held a slight advantage, having played seven games to its opponent's four. In the scoreless first half. Kent was out rushed. The final periods, however, showed a marked contrast. The ball was in Kent’s possession practically the entire time, and the visitors completed two unbroken marches from the thirty-yard line. Choate’s only score resulted directly from Cottrell’s eighty-five yard dash immediately after Kent’s first touchdown. The individual star of the game was Jones, whose successive gains in the first half were the mainstay of Kent’s attack, while his punting and defensive work contributed greatly to the 13-6 victory. Other football organizations were unusually active through the season. The seconds, coached by Mr. Humphries, sacrificed all chance of drilling on their own plays in order to give the first team the proj er scrimmaging. Through a lack of coordination, the seconds lost to all their opponents, the Canterbury, Gunnery, and Hopkins Grammar first teams. The Juniors, under Father Sill’s guidance, carried successfully a schedule of four games. The George Junior Republic eleven and the Berkshire Juniors were overwhelmed 69-0 and 40-0, respectively, while Rumsey Hall was defeated 40-14. The Pawling Juniors were superior by two touchdowns, winning 14-0. Mr. Walker had charge of the midgets as in former years. Two teams practiced regularly, the pick of these playing the South Kents Seconds; the result was a 7-6 victory for the Kent midgets. Four Senior league teams were organized early in the Fall and were coached by Father Sill. A schedule of seven games each was played off. Team 1), captained by J. Holwill, winning the series. At the close of the season. Muldaur was elected captain and R. Fowler appointed manager of the 1945 eleven. 115 Cije Reason Kent Septeml er 27 New Haven Boys ’ Club 7 October 4 Pittsfield High School 33 October 11 Williams Freshmen 3 Octol er 18 Hotchkiss 9 October Pawling 57 November 1 Berkshire 34 November 8 Westminster 20 November 15 Choate IS 176 Clje Ceant Player Position Height Weight Age B.

The 1924 team, however, listing a schedule with more games against stronger teams, equaled and bettered the previous season’s record. Judged in the light of the scores rolled up by these two teams, the 1925 season at first appears less brilliant. Of the ten games played, only seven were won. But after a second look, considering the schedule, which was the most difficult any Kent team had ever faced, and weighing defeats with such teams as the Championship Vale Varsity, Harvard Freshmen, and St. Paul’s, with victories over such schools as St. Mark’s, Pomfret, and Choate, the 1925 sextet stands out as perhaps the strongest hockey team that Kent has ever had. By overwhelmingly defeating the Yale and Princeton freshman aggregations and offering substantial opposition to the Harvard '28 team, Kent probably made a letter showing than any other preparatory school against like freshman teams. In holding the Vale University sextet scoreless for three periods before succumbing in the fourth, Kent accomplished what had heretofore been considered impossible in interscholastic hockey. All credit for the success of the season is due to Coach Sill. He gave freely of his time and advice on the rink, and his untiring efforts were responsible for the strength as well as the spirit which characterized the team throughout the season. On the Hobart Baker Memorial rink at Princeton, the team met its first defeat in a pre-vacation contest with the Vale Varsity. During the three regular eighteen minute periods, Kent held the university scoreless. Vale’s 3-0 victory, gained in the fourth session, was largely due to the work of Captain Jenkins in the goal and to liberal substitutions. The forward line, consisting of Captain 121 J. Palmer, II. Palmer, and Jones, threatened the Yale cage frequently. The first stages of the contest were played fairly evenly, hut Yale’s reserve strength enabled her to score three times in the five-minute overtime period. Defeating Berkshire 4-0 in a heavy snowstorm on January 10. the team commenced its regular schedule. Teamwork was impossible because of the weather; Kent’s victory was due solely to individual superiority. The home team showed flashes of form. II. Palmer and Jones played particularly well for Kent. Berkshire had very few shots at the Kent cage and never threatened seriously. On its first regular trip, the sextet played two games: one against Harvard ’48 and the other against St. Mark’s. In the former, Kent’s somewhat superior individual strength was unable to offset the unusual coordination of the freshman combination. The playing was fast and hard throughout, the yearlings winning 5-4. In the first period, the teams battled on even terms, although the freshmen kept the puck in Kent territory much of the time. Three rather easy shots were scored against the School team in the second period, but in the third. Kent braced and held its opponents to equal scoring. The St. Mark’s game, played on very poor ice at South boro, was won 4-0 by Kent. The puck was in the middle of the rink most of the game, both defenses effectually breaking up all rushes. Practically all shots were taken from long distances. II. Palmer and E. Cady each scored in the second period. The rival captains starred. Pomfret and Canterbury, the next two opponents, were met on excellent iee at Kent. Both games were taken by the home team. 11-0 and 14-1, respectively. II. Palmer scored twelve of Kent’s twenty-five points in these two games. In the Pomfret game, J. Palmer scored two goals single handed within the first thirty seconds of play. In spite of the spectacular work of the Pomfret goal-guard, the visitors’ goal was so constantly peppered that the home team found little difficulty in scoring at will. Notwithstanding the high score J. W. Palmer Captain of Hockey amassed against Canterbury, the team was not up to O. I). Smith Manager of Hockey 144 its usual standard, a lac k of coordination being prevalent. More than once a second string line was substituted, and the latter held up its end well. The Kent sextet gained a decisive 6-1 victory over the Yale freshmen at New Haven on February 4. Although the ice was fast, playing was rendered difficult by the unusual arrangement of lighting. II. Palmer scored three goals for Kent, J. Palmer, two, and Jones, one. Captain Palmer was the outstanding player of the game. Throughout, skating was fast on either side. Vaughan, the Yale center, broke through for his team’s only goal in the first period. Unfavorable weather conditions necessitated the cancelling of the games with Pawling, Hotchkiss, Canterbury, Berkshire, and Williams 48. In a fast, hard-fought contest at Concord, Kent met defeat at the hands of the St. Paul’s team on February sixteenth. Though outskating and outplaying its opponents, Kent was outgeneraled by the home team which, after socring early in the game, maintained a four and five man defense, thereby countering all Kent’s attacks. Though the puck was kept generally in St. Paul’s end of the rink during the first period, it was in this session that the home team’s single and winning goal was scored from a difficult angle. Jackson, in the St. Paul’s goal did much to forestall Kent’s terriffie attack later in the game. The culmination of a successful season was reached when Choate was defeated 4-1 on poor ice at Wallingford. The Choate goal-guard, PfafT, was responsible in a large degree for the closeness of the score. Choate staged a rally in the final period which threatened to overcome Kent’s two-goal lead when Tappen broke through for a score. In the final game of the season, the team overcame Princeton ’48 at Princeton, 7-1. Captain Palmer, of Kent, again starred. The fast skating of the Kent stickmen was at all times superior. This fact was noteworthy inasmuch as the visitors had had practically no practice for nine days.

The MORGAN HORSE The Pride and Product of America The Morgan is the oldest distinct breed of horses developed in America. Justin Morgan, the founder of the breed, was foaled in Massachusetts in 1793, and died in Vermont in 1841. This stallion has ever since been known by the name of his first owner. Justin Morgan. During his lifetime Justin Morgan, the horse, was especially noted for speed on the run for short distances, for strength in pulling heavy loads, for brilliance on the parade ground, and for endurance and pleasantness on the road. Today Justin Morgan remains famous first of all for prepotency, because, down to this very day, his descendants still look and act like him.
