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
