BRONX And t sen there it that fellow that ue will always remember at Bronx. Since bit arrival at Kent after being in the service during the war, Bronx Park’s contributions to the school have been many. These have included enlarging and reshuffling the library, coaching league sports, and guiding each successive Second Form during its early days at school. Our afternoons have been set off by Bronx’s famous afternoon teas. Suavely self-assured, he has prosed himself a boon companion to everyone. Librarian, coach. Second Form advisor, elegant man about the campus, Bronx is indeed a saluable part of Kent. SIMON LF.GRF.li Army, the scourge of second form ancient history-students, is one of the most often seen of the masters at Kent. Mr. Armstrong’s more frequent appearance on the campus proper is due to his extra class-room activities such as bang the formidable administrator of justice at the hour board and the head man at the Athletic Store and that elegant spot where the elite meet to eat,” the Pop Tent. In his capacity of directing the boys with hours, he sees that many useful things are accomplished around the place. Firm in assigning tasks, Mr. Armstrong is rigid in the execution of same. Zhe library. tltc classrooms . . . MORNING CLASSES And then after morning job assembly, comes the daily routine of classes. Classes begin about five minutes after the end of assembly and the last period ends at twenty minutes past three. There is a break of an hour and twenty minutes for lunch. The fine faculty at Kent provides some of the most interesting and most edifying classes to be found anywhere. Fortunately, from the standpoint of both the master and UNCLE TED Uncle Ted Evans has been at Kent longer than any of us can remember, and as long as most of the faculty can recall. He has devoted these years to unfailing service to the school and to the succeeding Sixth Forms as they have prepared to enter college. Uncle Ted’s kind good humor has always served to lighten tht days at Kent. His contributions to Kent have includea not only managing our curriculums and aiding us in our activities around the place, but also helping with our mdmdual problems. During the beginning of Sixth Form year in the capacity of assistant Heaa-master, he turned in a good job of running the school. Thanks for everything. Uncle Ted.

MR. R. Although Mr. R. formally known at Raydon Rons-haugen, it new tbit year, we feel that we know him well already. His friendly manner and interest in the affairs of the school are evident. .Mr. Ronshaugen, the new chief of the scholastic side of Kent, has already-made improtemenls in the study courses, and we know that he will make many more in the years to come. He has also shown a keen interest in the extra-curricular activities at school. We only regret, Mr. R., that you didn't arrive at Kent earlier so we could have known you better. . . . and the office the student, class periods at Kent arc informal and lead to general discussions of the topics at hand. This informality is made easier by the smallness of the classes, but assignments are difficult. In order to give the best preparation for college, a great deal is demanded by the Kent faculty, and a great deal is delivered. BEAR Bear Brown is one of the most popular and most able masters on the campus. His jocular Latin classes are familiar to most of us. There are few who haven’t been both fascinated and edified by Mr. Brown. Bear always has a friendly word for everyone. Who hasn’t received bis cheery hello professor?’’ Mr. Brown’s fun-loving nature and clever witticisms have become an integral part of Kent. However, be is always on hand to aid any student in need of extra help. Bear is one of those rare men who can make good education pleasant. DEAC Raconteur, mat! ematical genius, and dyed in the wool Republican, that’s Deac. Deac Anders has not only the foregoing qualifications but also manages to expound the respective enigmas of Physics and Sixth Form math. Familiar indeed is his outraged Hell’s Bells, Arabella!” when some unwitting blunderer goes astray. We will none of us forget Dene’s fascinating stories told in a growling bass. As for his politics, the G.O.P. would be in a sad way were it not for Mr. Anders. Added to bis list of accomplishments, he is also a league football coach. We’re thankful we didn’t miss Deac.
