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
