JOSEPH'S CHAPEL ix THE SCHOOL HOUSE THE DINING HALL . Q I O ,TQ A me ' ' ,,, 3 P THE DEDICATIUN Pop Woods has spent one half of his life teach- ing science at Kent. lt is dillicult to pay htting tribute to this leader of boys, builder of men. and dedicated priest who so perfectly embodies the three Kent ideals: Directness of Purpose. Self-Reliance, and Simplicity of Life. Nevertheless, we seek humbly to render honor by dedicating the 1955 Yearbook to the man who has meant so much to Kent, on the year he retires after 31 years at the school. His enthusiasm and inspired teaching have led Kent boys through countless hours of biology and chemistry, and indeed of every branch of science. Yet, more importantly, his willingness to assist us with his ready advice and knowledge has presented to many Kent boys a living manifestation of the Kent ideal and spirit. He has opened the door to a fuller realization of our life and purpose at Kent. Pop Woods will be remembered for many reasons: his presence in the stands at every Kent home baseball gameg his threats to doff the clerical collar to prop- erly speak a piece ol' his mind: his perennial cry of The sixth form is the worst form in the schoolug his ruddy face beaming below his battered Maine fisher- man's cap with its long black visor, his daily walks with Mrs. Woods up Nlacedonia Valley or down the river road past the boathouseg his acid-stained khaki laboratory coat, his customary seat in the Prefects' Stalls in Chapel, and his assistance at the celebration L I7 4-lille ' fs, h' . . of--1 THE REV. WILLIAM C. WOODS, Ph.D. of the Holy Eucharist in St. ,loseph's Chapel. These memories and many more will he imbedded forever in the minds of Kent men and boys. Of the results of Pop Woods' years here since 1924, two of the most tangible are the Science Club and the Science Museum. In 1948, Pop formally launched the Science Club, an extra-curricular or- ganization for upper formers especially interested in the natural sciences. The Club meets in the well- equipped laboratory on the top floor of the School l-louse Sunday evenings to discuss, demonstrate or experiment in geology, mineralogy, electronics, elec- trolysis, entomology, evolution, and explosives. The Science Nluseuni was begun in 1924 with a few modest collections of insects. Wfhen space was pro- vided for it in the new Auditorium in 1937, more extensive material uas sought, and glass cabinets were acquired. A large number of biological, botan- ical, and geological models are on display. Included are skeletons from the shark to the human, teaching models ol all zinimuls from the anioelm to the cut, and nn excellent series in einlmryology and human physi- ology. Nlany more vuluahle items are housed in the museum, such as two mineral collections. Fr. Vlfoodsi own local insect collection. and representative speci- mens from all the animal phyla. l'1r. Woods received his 14.11. from Wesleyan llni- versity in 1913 and his 1'h,D. from Cornell in 1917. where he taught Entomology from 1913-1917. From 1917-1919. he scrvcd in the Ariny overseas in the World War. following which he taught Biology at Wesleyan lroin 1919-1921-. ln 1921, Fr. Sill met Pop who was studying lor the priesthood. and persuaded him to institute a course in Biology at Kent, hegin- ning in 192-1. He has heen here cver since then. His course in Bug as we and others for many years hefore us called Biology, has heen il source of much enjoyment and understanding of our selves, in both moral and physical aspects. There is much more to he said ahout Pop, hut it will sullice to say that his life is Kent in living matter and that his influence on our lives is, and will con- tinue forever, to he strong and immediate. We shall always talk about you. Pop Woods, whenever we gather to refresh memories of our days at Kent. Your direct activity at Kent has drawn to an end, hut your inlluenee will he carried luv all of us whom vou knew and taught and guided. .I 1 .n V, .,, ' iblir Q1 p el 4311, .1 i'X ' . THE CHANGING KENT SCENE While the Class of 1955 was at Kent, many changes took place in all parts of the physical plant. The purpose behind this progress was to realize Pater's plans for a permanent Kent, in which the facilities for play and for study will be even better. Several major improvements will be completed in time for the celebration marking Kent's first fifty years of existence, and they will set the standard by which the school will continue to progress in its second half- century. The forty-ninth class was able to benefit from some of these projects. This was especially so in the field of athletics for this year the new addition to the Sports Building was opened. as were several all-weather tennis courts. On im- portant weekends and after most athletic contests, guests have been entertained in the new Trophy Room. The sixth form has been invited to receptions and to weekly teas in the new Rectory. For practical and aesthetic reasons, the Old Main Building has been moved, thus leaving the center of the campus open, but surrounded by the seven buildings. On the following pages are pictured the projects undertaken while the Class of l955 was at Kent. DECEMBER 1054 FEBRUARY 1955 THE NEW AUDITORIUM MAY 1955 dz, .Agri It Els..

A Story of a Five-Year Life and the Sixty Men who Lived It. 21 u SECOND FORM YEAR 'lihe thirteenth of Fepteniher. l95tl. is a date that will long he i't-ineinlwn-al among loxers of the forty-ninth anniversary 1-lass. lfor it was on that day. that forty-one highly bewildered young QI1'Illlf'lllt'll lilst gazed on the spacious Kent campus. To meet these set-ond lormf-rs were forty-one rather tired looking sixth lormers, w ho were to he sponsors. Between their eflorts and ours. no gradually learned to tell the Dining: llall from the Chapel. When elasses 1-om'ent'rl two days later. we found ourselves eonlronted with lour highly interesting masters. Our Latin mentor was tht- lute l'iny Baker, a man of immense size. ln the math loom. we inet g l'iny's opposite. llarry Hoyle. an ext-t-f-sive-ly round man who had come to teach his first class. lfnglish was drills-d into our heads hy our heloved Jim Draper, while lor history we were eonlrontcd by the terrifying hjackw Armstrong. who we soon learned had recently become dis- tinguished hy lvuilding singlehandedly his own comfortable house on the river road. We sr-cond lormers were. we thought. the undisputed masters ol the eonnertingr hallway and the second north of the Lilmrary. and it was on those hallways that most unusual things hap- pened. Une mernorahle ineident occurred shortly after we arrived. Pete Louderhaek marshalled us all into the hall shortly after lights to memorize an inspiring song. which we later learned had the unohtrusive title of the Kent School Football Song. Woe be to the luekless lmoy who didn't know everything that happened when the Blue and Cray team fell in line. Although the nearest we got to partieipating that year was gazing at Captain Davenport livhind the preieetis desk. wc proved enthusiastic supporters. ln the middle of the term. we r-hose Tim Loring. ,lohn De- Witt, and George Wehmeyer as our form ollieers. Along with Mike Ellis. George had recently made the honor roll. One of the most notalile ineidenis of that year nas the mak- ing of the film. The Kent Way. All of us watt-lu-fl. eagerly hoping to take our first steps toward Hollywood. Some of us were seen nohly carrying out the system of self-help. ,lust before Christmas vacation. one memher of our form. Orrin MacLeod proved himself a good deal nearer Hollywood than most of us, while treading the boards in the play, 'LA Night at an Inn. if A number of pleasant surprises awaited us on our return from Christmas vacation. We found that the Mother's Associa- tion had furnished money to double the size and renew' all the equipment in the kitchen. Since we waited on table so much. we could truly appreciate this change. Another piece of good news was that on Wednesdays. we were allowed to sleep until the sinful hour of seven. We rabble greeted this evitra hour of sack with loud cries of joy. For this term we chose as our ofhcers. Chris Allen. Terry Putnam, and Bill lnce. The cold of the winter term promoted many new and un- heard of luxuries. Such was the roman bath--Wedge Rob- bins, own brainchild. Stopping up the shower drains and blocking half the shower room doorway, he soon raised the warm water level to several feet, as enthusiastic rabble basked until job time. Inspector Plumber Mills didnit think much of it, but it continued thus for several weeks. On Shrove Tuesday. the school relaxed to hold a gala Mardi Gras party. complete with refreshments, music, and form skits. MacLeod and Mat: Mills portrayed to the ignorant upper formers the second former's plight on his first night at school. During the term. Dan Myerson and Don McGuire decided that the Kent News was overlooking the class of '55. The result was the Rabble Rouser, our own form newspaper. This jour- nalistic endeavor was wildly successful, claiming a circulation of over forty. and brought forth several informative issues. One day that term, we found our native habitat, the second North of the Library invaded by the authorities. who placed there the now famous second hand store, where all sorts of shady transactions are known to occur. Many second formers rejoiced at being able to buy luminous pink ties for only fifteen cents. The end of term was marked by much excitement, as the basketball team beat Gunnery to win the Tri-State league championship. We returned from vacation to what all the old boys assured us was the best term of the school year. We soon found that, what with the warm sun. introducing such illicit pastimes as sun bathing, together with long hikes and Sunday picnic lunches, the old boys were quite right. Beside the traditional stickball, our form became renowned for excellence in Johnny ,lump the Pony which was engaged in daily in front of the Mail Room before night study hall. fe -:.f j V, 11?3L,,l,,W'o 4, V ji: I I v 1 an ,sa 'Wig .',i :vga K 5 N ' L . -' . it 'fe 'tl' f ' ki!

Many of us that term put our feet through shell bottoms for the first time. Even those who did not row lined the course on Saturdayto watch the far-famed Kent crew. At our first Htappingii ceremony, Hawk', Millspaugh, Lee Alborn, Jim Hinkley. and Jim Tewksbury were chosen as '52's prefects. A second tradition, the painting of the rock. saw a weirdly colored 52 appear on the hillside. A few days later, we received the biggest thrill of our life by being dismissed from Job Assembly as third formers. f I uv' ti . ' .. 5- 4 ,ju if ' : Z ' ' T '. 11.1 x . s 4. X ,, -'r . .Q f' . 1 .

Not the least of these was the fact that the class enroll- ment had leaped to T2 with the admission of thirty-six new boys. Une new thing was that the new boys had been back for tl whole week. as the battle-scarred veterans of second form year arrived on the scene. Also the third form did not. as had third forms before. rule the North Dorm. for the rooming sys- tem was changed to divide all boys more evenly throughout the school. , Two new stars had arisen on the curricular horizon. First we found ourselves taking two lfnglish courses instead of one. being subjected to an tutorial reading program. In addition. we found that Jack Armstrong had deserted the plains of Marathon to teach study techniques to the two lower fornis in Mr. Evans' old olliee. We also discovered to our horror that our classes were each to be one hour long. The grounds and buildings had also been somewhat changed. l ootlJall games were now held on the upper field instead ol the more convenient Alumni lfield. lfr. Wrvst's house had been moved from Chapel llill. and left half a niile up the road. where it was occupied by Nlr. Kingsbury. The reason for this mow was soon made clear to us. as a great arehitectual project. to build hr. l'al's new home. was being undertaken by Matty Mills' father. During the fall term. each form undertook a form projectg our class did not escape. for the majority of our fellows spent the day picking potatoes in the fields south of the boat house. where a good many bloody potato battles were waged. ln spite of ourselves. however. we managed to have a record harvest. We chose Tim Loring. .lack llorner. and Bill lnee to lead us this year as officers. and we were pleased to learn that they were to attend the regular council meetings. During October. a revolutionary announcement was made which shocked but delighted even the most radical third former. Fr. Pat proclaimed that our Thanksgiving Holiday would be extended to the incredible length of four days. On October 31, the school presented us with the first Hal- low'e'en Carnival. This caused much merriment. since every form had its own small share of the fun. The doughnuts and cider were rapidly consumed by all but a few hopefuls who waited a few' days for the cider to turn hard. ,lust before Christmas vacation. an all-third form production. Four on a Heath. graced the Kent stage. The four were Dave Gillespie. Pint Goodbody. Mike lfllis. and Styvie Bearns. When we came back from vacation. we found no lack of scholastic work. for we were to be subjected in three weeks to the first mid-year exams in the school's history. Everyone. it seemed. groaned even more than usual about the great amount Q .P ,Aa in ful! U' i l .af 5, . ': 1 Q .se .1 NNE. I to be learned. But a few of us, at any rate, appeared to survive. for when the marks were published nine of us had achieved honor roll or high honor standing. As a foretaste of what was to come in ,luly and November. a fierce campaign was started for various presidential candi- dates. Although several orators described in detail the merits of Taft and Kefauver, the school, following Bob Ward's bril- liant leadership and oratory, eventually selected Dwight ,Eisen- hower. After mid-year exams, when certain members of our form had nothing better to do, a new sport claiming many enthusi- astic participants was developed. It was the old art of tobog- gaming. with Chapel Hill selected as the trail. Tom Bliss, the owner of the toboggan. and Bud Holmes were enthusiastic devotees of this pastime. As the middle of the term drew near, we were asked to choose a new set of form officers. This time, Bill Wurts, George Wehmeyer, and Terry Putnam were elected. Chips Swallow had long been a little-appreciated member of the student body, or so he thought. He set out to remedy this sad fact by the most obvious and effective way possible. Consequently, one memorable day, each student received free one candy har from the Pop Tent, compliments of Mr. Swallow. Few of our form, or any form for that matter, will forget the memorable day when all did not go right in job assembly. Head Prefect Sandy Millspaugh had the misfortune to sit on a particularly noisy buzzer placed on his chair by one of his more ingenious tormentors. To the delight of all but Mills- paugh, the buzzer rang for several seconds before the victim discovered what everyone was laughing at. The Third Form this term presented its second dramatic endeavor, Lord Dunsany's The Lost Silk Hat, which stared Bob Schwartz, Vince Janke, and the old standby, Orrin Mac- Leod who as a poet particularly enchanted the student body with his poetic ejaculations. A hundred students crowded into the handkerchief-size Cun- nery gymnasium one Saturday of this term to see Kent lose a heart-breaking basketball game 57-56, thus abandoning its hold on the league crown. When we returned to Kent after Spring vacation, we dis- covered that the crew had acquired a new shell, the ,l.O.P. , which was shortly taken over by the second crew. We also found that the Rectory on Chapel Hill was nearing completion. Early in the spring, the league tennis candidates whose job it has always been to rake and roll courts for later use had their long-standing suspicions justified. Mike Ellis and several others triumphantly announced one day that they had found several edible carrots growing in the vicinity of the service line. and even venerable Coach llumphreys couldn't argue away the tangible evidence that was presented to him. The third formers living in the Library Building have good reason to remember the water pistols flourished by members of the sixth form. llon Benjamin was especially renowned for his dead eye which could pick off underformers at incredible distances. The unfortunate part of the whole matter was that the underformers supposedly were not allowed to carry these dangerous weapons and therefore had to be careful when we used them. This spring, as before, the picnic lunches were greeted with a special favor. as boys eagerly grabbed at the chance to have a meal away from school while sitting by a brook or half way up Mount Algo. The only fault with this system was that it tended to encourage the slightly more illicit sport of swim- ming, which though banned. was nevertheless enjoyed by many of our form. Un May first, we watched in awc as the new prefects were chosen. This being the end of our second year at Kent, we now really felt as though we were getting somewhere. We loudly voiced our approval when Bob Ward was selected Senior Prefect to be assisted by Art Hodges, Howie Patterson, and Charlie Tighe. We listened with interest as Bob read us the statement of the aims of the Class of '53, together with several new rules to insure a just measure of respect for the sixth form. A little while later we were given our Hrst chance to put up a slate of oflieers for the entire school to vote on. We were all highly pleased when it was announced that Tim Loring, Bill Wurts, and George Wehmeyer were to be our Hrst voting student council members. 5-tu ki . 2 KQQQA with - - 17' Eu.. f 'F at During the year, our form had been unusually active in athletics with Treat Walker and Bubbles Shattuck making the second football team in the fallg Dave Drouet being on the basketball starting live, Matt Mills and Jimmie Grey being on the skiing team in the winterg while in the spring, Bubbles made baseball and Dave played with the tennis team and several other members starred in the leagues. ,lust before Prize Day, the class of 1952 put on a highly effective production of King Lear. Few of us who saw it could doubt that Jay Kohler gave an excellent performance as Lear. The next day, the Class of 1955 watched their second Prize Day. To our delight, the much loved Butch Wilson was the choice for the Columbia Cup, while Grubby Hoerle received the Headmaster's Cup.

There were four new masters, one of whom was the father of our formmate Graham Fuller, New with lVlr. Fuller were Nlr. Breasted. who was to lead many of us through the unknown paths of lfnglish prose and poetry. lVlr. Crocker and lVlr. Gifford, One of the major changes in school life we found on our return was the new Permissions System. This system run hy our old math master, lVlr. lloyle. provided for more rig- orous checlcups and more doleful penalties for the luclcless fellow who was ahsent from a school activity without an excuse. or who piled up a sufliciently large amount of late- nesses. This fall, Carlos Bussche was starting on the hrst soccer team, while Dave Drouet. Treat Walker and Holi Shattuck managed to win herths on the first football team. Few will forget the thrilling mass parade which occurred this year heforc the hrst football game of the season. Highlighted by the ancient school jeep. a mascot goat supplied hy Senior prefect lioh Wartl. a loucl school hand and hauners galore tincluding ,lack Marescais and Chris Allenis realistic tiger-skin Hagt, this spirited rally doubtlessly struck fear into even the hardest Trinity-Pawling heart. The tragic ending of the story. however. is that in spite of this spectacle. the team lost hy a score of 13-T. ln the mid-term indicators this fall. a respectable ten of our form managed to achieve llonor Roll standing. with a record two achieving High Honors. One unfortunate incident which occurred during the fall w as the loss of the Silver Spoon to Loomis. as the football team dropped a game T-tl in the midst of the traditional had weather. llowever. few' lienties lct themselves he so depressed that they could not avail themselves of Loomis hospitality lui stuffing themselves with cider. cocoa. apples and doughnuts. The successful fall term llallowr-'en Carnival featured a skit by each form and several games of chance. The fourth form was represented with one of the easiest games on the Midway We considered it a great honor one week during this term when Carlos Busscln- was named by the NEWS as 'Sports Star of the Week. lle was the first member of our form to be so honored. A short while before Thanksgiving. the fourth formers rooming in the Auditorium decided that the school jazz band w as not working up to par. and. consequently. formed their own band, which even gave a Saturday'-night concert in the Dining llall. This organization included ,lim Reynolds. Bill Phelps, ttilt lfasman. Don Macwiltie and Russ Hubbard, and was sparked by' enthusiasm of the highest calibre. When we returned from Thanksgiving Recess, we found the basketball floor in the Gym completely renovated, affording a better playing surface for all basketball candidates. With thirteen members of the form on the Honor Roll, we adjourned for the Christmas Vacation in December. -.1 .6 ir When we returned from Christmas Vacation. the Common Room, which was to contain couches. ping-pong tables. a radio. card tables and various games, was under construction. This term. Dave Drouet started on the first basketball team. Murray Baldwin obtained a slot on the first team wrestling squad and Mat Mills dominated the ski team, One of the major features of this term was the sixth form presentation of The Little Mau. starring Ron Morris as a rather bewildered European traveller. An impromptu aeronautics show occurring during our mid' year Sacred Studies exam highlighted an otherwise dull exam week. As boys lined the campus. an unknown pilot buzzed over the Dining Hall roof. down the valley. and over the Chapel. Not the least of the school achievements this term was the basketball teams now-legendary game with Berkshire. during which Kent managed to obtain a record score. winning by 90-50. Our own Dave Urouet helped by putting in li of these points. lVlid-year examinations came and went. with nine fourth formers still on the llonor Roll. Une member of the form attained High Honor Roll marks. The basketball team edged out Gunnery' 58-55 to take the Tri-State League Championship, on February 14. This was Coach Hoyle's second League championship in three years of coaching. The Common Room was officially opened late this term. ln addition to the games supplied. the CR managers arranged a ping-pong tournament for all underforniers. One new development of this term was the new'-style athletic banquet for each sport. livery' boy out for each sport was inxited to the feasts formerly reserved for first teams. Sports movies to top off the steak dinners satisfied all of ns. A few days before spring vacation. the Dramatic Society presented Ben ,lonsonis The Alchemist. None of our form- mates, however. was in this production. Spring term brought all that is associated with it: hikes and picnic lunches on holidays and Sundays. stick-ball on Wednesday evenings. and, for some, nature study. Carlos Bussche picked up two large hlacksnakes, which he kept in his room as pets. After bothering fornnnates with them, he spread the word that they were rattlesnakes. His play worked as expected. for Vultch Voorhees' hate of reptiles kept that esteemed sixth former from inspecting for three days. It was a red-faced inspector who was finally let in on the gag. This spring, '55 undertook to put on another one-act play. Bob Schwartz, Bill lnce, Robin Hoen, Jack Maresca and Bruce Parker starred in Su-bmerged, a drama of men in a submarine. With fine acting by Schwartz, this proved to be our most successful production so far. 3 Yi. Our Form Project consisted of tarring the walk in front of the Field House, paying for the tar ourselves. Scattering, raking and pounding tar tjoel Roberts vigorously claimed he had pounded the entire Autobahn single-handedl. we felt we had done something really constructive. The April 25 indicator marks included 14 formmates on the Honor Rollhthe largest number to dateg and Mike Ellis led the school, becoming the first '55er to be so honored. On May 15, we all filed into Chapel to watch our third 'itappingw ceremony. Ed Hughes was chosen Senior Prefect with Bill Balfour, Bob Ober and Charlie Patterson as the other prefects. Ed gave a talk on integrity, the goal for '54-. Our fifth form year had begun. On May 24-, it was revealed that the first crew would com- pete in the Thames Challenge Cup races in Henley, England. This was the first crew, whose Season we had followed as students, to engage in this competition. A few days later, we once more offered a slate of candidates to the school for our Council Members. This time. George a I . . A nb. t ,L . uyfig. ,, i mil: 1 U 4 in 3 ss 1 s Wehmeyer, Bill Howard and Terri Putnam were chosen for the council in our fifth form wear. At the end of the year. we learned with interest that Dave Drouet had been elected captain of tennis for the W3-1 season. He was the first tHf'llllDPl' of our form to be honored with a captaincy. A few days before Prize Day. we watched Mr. Davis star in the faculty production of Barrieis The r fKllI1tI'HlII1' ffrirlzlon. This play was well done and well received by thc' student body. Our third Prize Day came and went. as 'liony Abbott. 'Sits Exchange student to England. ret-eix ed the Columbia Cup. and Ted Davidson got the Heacltnastefs Cup. After a week of exams. our fourth form year was mer.. and ne rm-tired for n three-month vacation, FIFTH FORM YEAR Wlwn the vlass of V753 is-turin-d to lxent lor its filth form war. it lound two new masters.

During.: the lfall Ti-rm. our form was required to take the Vovational tluidunve 'lin-ts. Despite the derisive remarks from sm-it-ral quarters ahout playing lintr- ganies with pins. we took these tests. most of us hnding out that we were meant for ilitvllfliggu-i's. as might have het-n vxpeeted, Nluvh to our delight. we found that the foothzill team was duo to liavu an exceptionally good season. ln its lirst gains. it heat Trinity-l'awling 33-12. following: up this viutory hy heat- ing lterkshire Lllvtl and Kingswood IH-fi, On Us-toher 31. as was the vustoin. the animal Hallow'e'en Carnival was put on, transforming the North Dorm Field for one night into a gay old place indeed. We felt especially hon- ored this fall. hevause three of our form. Stuyvie Bearns. Cra- ham lfuller. and ljskil lfrieson put on an inspired skit which vlaimcd to represent the typival prep-school kiti-hen and its various woes. As each mcmher ol the student hody, strangely enough. seemed to had a parallel to someone he w as acquainted with. this perforniaiirre was well reveiwil. On a i-old and wct day on Mothcris weekend. the foothall team smeared llotchkiss hy the 4-omlortahle score ol 11-tl-T. One Saturday night this term. the class of 19511 had a supper danve with damsels from St. lVlilt'tlttl'L't-S School. Although most 'Y n 1- ,d H ... 1 '1 W' Q5 up in of us would have liked to attend. we were 1-onsoled by being allowed to take over the running of the svhool. We inspected jobs that night tmadly forgetting our ownt and took our places as tableheads. The only sad thing ahout this was that the next morning we assumed our old plaves as hlth foriners, still waiting to take permanent power. The next week, Kent hrought hack the Silver Spoon from Loomis hy whipping that school 34-T. This left only one game to go to make an undefeated football team. We were all pretty excited about the coming game with Taft. also an undefeated team. lnfortunately. the team the next Saturday was some- what undermanned due to injuries. and we lost 20-6. But despite this game. no one vouhl deny that the team had enjoyed its hest record sim-e we value to Kent. ln the middle of this term. two new masters arrived on the scene. Mr. Maillet came to teach German, while Mr. Conover joined our ranks to teach Mathematics and Physics. Toward the end of the term, Bob Schwartz left our form to take his place among the Sixth Formers. While we wished him the best of success. we realized that we had lost one of the better men from our ranks. At the end of the fall sports season Carlos Bussche. to no one's particular surprise, was elected captain of soccer, while Bob Shattuck was elected to lead the next seasonls football team. As we went home for Christmas vacation, we were delighted to learn that our Honor Roll membership had jumped from its former lowly status of three to a total of sixteen. Shortly before Christmas vacation. a sad event marred the life of the school. Mrs. Armstrong died very suddenly. Upon our return the students raised enough money that a stained- glass window might be installed in the sacristy of the Chapel in her memory. We learned when we came back that the school had made an interesting trade. swapping the old Triangle road beneath Mount Algo in return for the road behind chapel. This agree- ment was made so that we could demolish the chapel road and build the new auditorium building on it in the future. The town. in turn, undertook a great project to make the 'iTri- anglen road passable. At the beginning of the second semester. Mr. and Mrs. Fred- eric March gave the school an interesting talk on their recent travels among the Creek people who had recently been ren- dered homeless by a series of earthquakes. The school re- sponded well to this appeal. and a few weeks later, several large hampers of clothes donated by the school and by the boys' families were dedicated in Chapel for the aid of these people. During this term. the school was smitten with grief on learning that the famous Joe Coletti had retired from his den - .- . - . , .,'. . ,z' f in the basement of the Main Building. Although many students agreed' that no haircut was better than a haircut from Joe, the school procured a new barber, Pierre, who proceeded to oc- cupy said den on Wednesdays and Sundays. ln the middle of February, the class of 1955 had its first dance at Kent. All the week before, we were busily helping the Sixth Form prepare the Auditorium for the big night. On Saturday, we were hosts to a group of girls from Westover School from one o'clock in the afternoon 'til about eleven. The -whole form agreed that the dance, with Lester Laninls band tcomplete with beanies! was highly successful. Later on in the term, we heard Mr. Rourke give a talk on the work of Gilbert and Sullivan. This talk, which was illustrated by records and slides, was quite interesting and highly amus- ing, as Mr. Rourke showed off his original brand of humor. -1. fr'-vi gl One morning during this term. the school woke up to find that someone had carefully' placed chickens from a nearby farm in each one of the classrooms. Those hirds. not especially en- joying their confinement. had proceeded to raise havoc in their confinement. and had exceedingly amused all except the boys who had to sweep out the classrooms for a jolt. as well as the original owner of the fowls. When people started to inquire who had donc the deed. the finger of suspicion was immedi- ately pointed at the class of 1955. although that class main- tained its innocence to the last. During this term. Dick Voigt of ilu- class of 1953 returned to school hringing with him lQli's Chosen Six of Yale, the Jazz Band of which he formed a part. The chosen ones took over the llining Hall that Sunday afternoon and for about an hour and a halt' entertained us with their music. At the end of the term. Murray Baldwin was picked as the V953 wrestling captain. while ni-wcoiner llal lliichios and Dave Drouet were chosen as co-captains for the N53 liasketball team. Having managed lo put sixteen fifth formers on the honor roll. we departed for a three week spring vacation. When we came hack from the vacation. we found that more changes than ever had taken place. One of the first things we notieed was that someone had apparently' kleptoed the Old Main Building. Our anxieties for that edilice were. however. eased when we discovered it sitting proudly where part of the South Tennis Courts had lrecn. yo' .fe , 'N' ,.. ,, , 'O' 'P I R-'Fear ,Mins-fu... ... K g th, My Q f ggi' 7 -L . ,snr-: . - , wifi :ig gg , Ni, f gig is -. . ii 43, 'fi' ' Another change was that the new addition to the Sports Building. long a fond hope in the minds of basketball enthusi- asts. was ahout to hecome a reality. Un l ather's Weekend. Mr. Nadal. wielding a shovel like a yeteran. liroke thi- ground for the new huildjng. During this term. ilu- numher of dances given to the lifth form was raised to the astonishing total ol' ty-ol This time. the young ladies came from the Emma Willard School. arriv- ing shortly' after lunchtime. and leaving at ahout eleven. The Auditorium. this time. was decorated in the theme of a balmy South Sea Island. Phil lVlalen's hand was playing. and did a highly competent joh of it. Despite the pouring. cold rain which was entirely unsuited to the theme of the dance. the form enjoyed themselves. Shortly after this dance. the notorious period known as Hell Week set in. Various sly pranks were pulled on the school hy. presumably. the class of 1055. Hutyric acid. which does not smell like altar of roses. was somehow smuggled into the prefeet's rooms. making them quite uninhahitahle. The greatest prank of all occurred a bit later. The Fifth Form. apparently bored with the humdrum life at school, left in the middle of the night and went down the road to the Old School, where a few valiant souls tended the fire, while the rest retired to hen-houses and the like for a little sleep. After a smuggled breakfast, we attempted to choose our colors for Numeral Rock. Finding this dull, and slightly illegal, we dashed up the side of Mount Algo and down the other side to find the school quite as we had left it. A few days later, the school assembled in Chapel to see the new prefects chosen. After waiting four years, we were finally able to see our own formmates assume places as prefects. Bob Lawrence and Ruddy Turnbull were appointed to head the Newsg Murray Baldwin and Hal Pachios were chosen to take charge of the chapel. Willie Howard, Jack Maresca, and Terry Putnam were appointed prefects of equal rank. Finally, Eddie Hughes walked up the aisle to tap Bill lnce as our Senior Prefect. A little later, we learned that Joel Roberts and John DeWitt were the kitchen heads with Tim Loring Steward of the Dining Hall. At a form meeting a few days later, we elected Wally Ruckert as our Council Member. Few of us will forget the class period during which O.B. neglected the study of Moby Dick to explain to us the strategic defense of Numeral Rock. This briefing was brought into use as we defended the Rock that night: the only crushing defeat of the campaign going to Raggy Kress who was treed without his nether garment. We won the battle and the next day we swarmed up to paint the Rock, the surrounding area. and ourselves. with ll light pur- ple and white color scheme. As usual, the fear arose that there would not be enough paint for the entire Rock. By scrimping. we managed to adorn the crag with an enormous 55 to gaze down on the Happy Valley for a year. That evening we took our places as Sixth Formers. a treasured and honored post io which each of us had long aspired. As our motto we chose Respecl. We pledged our- selves to uphold respect for the masters. respect for other's belongings, and respect for ourselves. We determined to start the year off well in the application of these ideals. The day before Prize Day the class of l955 put on its most ambitious project as Graham Fuller. Bob Schwartz. jack Maresca and Bill lnce took the leading roles in Shakespearcds Henry IV. We had all worked extremely hard on it. and it was quite successful. Prize Day was cloudy, but still upholding the old Kent tradi- tion of no rain for Prize Day. Don and Ray Kress were awarded the Columbia Cup, while Billy Starke was the re- cipient of the Headmaster's Cup. A short examination period followed Prize Day. and the class of 1955, now full-fledged Sixth Formers. left sch rvci l for a long three-month summer vacation. sus N :gp - Ig., --- SIXTH FORM YEAR During the summer preceding our Sixth Form year we managed to keep pretty well in touch, due to an address list that we had drawn up in june. Bill Ince wrote us all letters in the middle of the surmner explaining our coming duties and inviting us to attend the form party. This party was held the Friday night before we returned to school, a week before anyone else. We gathered at the Colum- bia Club in New York, where we had dinner and beer. That evening we went to see Shirley Booth in By The Beautiful Sea talthough some of our members seemed more intent on watch- ing Marilyn Monroe come out of The Pajama Came across the streett. After the show we gathered at the club for more brew and a short form business meeting. The next morning sixty- odd bleary eyed Sixth Formers staggered on the train for Kent. Among the innovations that we met at Kent was the two- hour-a-week speech course conducted by Mr. Fluhartyg a course we had elected to take the preceding spring. One of the most radical changes was the new marking sys- tem. Now, instead of being marked with 70's and 80's, we were marked with 2's and 3's tand 5-'sl. In addition, letters were given: S, E, or U, to indicate whether our effort had been satisfactory. We also found that the building plans were coming along. The new Auditorium Building had ceased to be a dream and was in the blueprint stage, while the Sports Building was coming along nicely, despite the steel strike. Shortly after we returned, we learned of the arrival of l.imey Rae. our linglish exchange student. He soon set up V :I 1 5'3- l My rf M' 12 court on the second floor of Club Norge with l7udge', Fraser. Early in the term the distinguished author. Alan Paton, visited the school for one night. ln response to his visit. it was toted shortly afterwards to contribute all the chapel offerings to help him in his work in South Africa. On one bright October Saturday. a new phenomena tempo- rarily invaded our corner of the world in the form of a uniformed Choate band. showing great gusto. if not skill. which fascinated the Kenties by wending its way from the rail- road station to the football field. along with some 500 Choaties. Evidently the band worked. for Choate won by the score of 26-14. Also showing great wind and spirit was our small hurricane, Miss Hazel. After elaborate preparations were made. she did little damage except to blow down an occasional branch. At the end of the first marking period. the Sixth Form dis- covered that they had eight men on the Honor Roll. On Thursday. Uctobcr 28. the annual flallowe'en Carnival was put on by the Hflll and sixth forms. We had several acts in it to delight the mob. Vince ,lanke brought his famed belly dance. which he had been practicing in the shower room for four years, to the Kent stage, where he proved to be the most popular attraction. In a slightly more serious vein, Jim Reynolds, Tim Loring. and Wedge Robbins and the irrepres- sible Vince made some pretty close harmony with a few popu- lar numbers. They were acompanied by the school jazz band, which also featured some of our more talented formmates. During this week, the question appeared ls '54 ever going to have a Yearbook? When it finally arrived. it was snatched rlp by Kentivs who had been waiting for more than a month in great expectation. On lNlother's Weekend it was announced to thc school that a picture taken by that inveterate photographer. Fr, West, was being put on a Christmas Card to be sold to all who felt friendly to the Kent School Library. Due to great publicity by Russ llubbard and llrrmx. a number of these works of art were purchased. The event of the term took place on the weekend of Novem- ber 6 and T. The Fall Dance for which the entire form had long awaited was finally hercl The Auditorium was decorated to look like Hernando's Hideaway by means of silhouettes on the walls and a fascinating mural which lVlr. Hustvedt and Hank Feldman prepared for the occasion. Phil Nlalerfs Orches- tra supplied the music for thc sixth form and their dates and the fifth form and their dates from Master's School. On Sunday most of us trudged up to Numeral Rock, as Sixth Formers always do. A picnic on Chapel Hill followed. The weekend was brought to a highly successful conclusion by a tea dance in the Auditorium. Une of the big events of the fall, as any underformer could have told you, occurred the next Saturday. Our unsuccessful football team met a favored Loomis team at Windsor and, while not winning, managed to tie the game 7-7. This was particularly significant since it was the first time that a school had kept the coveted Silver Spoon two years in a row. Some of the Second Formers, however, probably never saw the last half of this exciting game because cocoa and dough- nuts had been served to the entire Kent student body during the half-time intermission. On December 11, a distinguished member of our form made himself even more distinguished. Stuyvie Bearns appeared on a television panel show, answering various questions about ein'- rent affairs with a suavity that made his less fortunate form- mates gapc. .fr 5 K Fifiigftt As the fall term drew to a close, the usual athletic banquets were held. Bob Lawrence and Murray Baldwin were given football awards and Bud Holmes was similarly honored in soccer. On December ll, twenty-four hopeful souls went to Torring- ton to take the NROTC tests. They all returned with grim predictions that nobody had a chance of passing. As is the custom, the night before Christmas we congregated sho'rtly after lights to serenade the faculty with the more fa- miliar Christmas Carols. Carrying candles and singing lustily such old favorites as Silent Night and Alouette. we made the rounds of the faculty, ending at the Rectory where. after having sung 'tOh Holy Nighti' and The Man Upstairs, we were treated by Father Pat. - li' When we returned to school in January we found that plans for a new library were progressing rapidly, as Mr. Harry Hatcher donated many of the books to fill the new shelves being planned in the Auditorium. The plans for this new library were then placed on view for everyone in the student body to see. Speaking of construction, a week or so after we returned. the long legendary new gymnasium finally opened, so that all the students could admire it properly. To dedicate the building. Mr. Maillet's basketball team soundly trounced Canterbury. As usual, the first three weeks were spent in cramming for the midyears, which proved more rigorous than ever before. Mr. Newton gained particular fame by treating the Sixth Form to a little five-hour number. At the end of the examination period, however, it seemed that Mr. Newton's sincerest effort had been of naught for the twelve of us who made the Honor Roll. At this time, Mike Ellis was awarded nienibcrsliip in the Cum Laude Society for his scholastic achievements. The first week of February, the lee Carnival. postponed so many limes in the past lvccausc of unfavorable wcathcr was sk 4u. finally held in near-perfect ice conditions. The hockey rink was graced by four young girls from Boston who executed turns that brought gasps from even the most hardened hockey fan. After that the Kent boys, a bit less graceful, but just as determined, went ahead with their own special events. Toward the end of the term. as the Lenten season came around. the Sixth Form started to give the traditional Lenten sermons at the cven-ing service. Bill Ince led oft on Ash Wed- nesday. followed hy many others of our form speaking on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays. On March 12, the College Board Exams were finally staring us full in the face. This day, instead of merely taking the Scholastic Aptitude Tests as we had the preceding May, we took three additional Achievement Tests. Those of us who had glibly put down for our three college choices Harvard, Yale, Princeton began to be a little bit more uneasy beginning March 13. fm ir - - J'-'al , ,lust before the end of Winter Term the form had made a radical change in the setup of the school. It was agreed that meaningless inspections were often assigned just so that everyone could have responsibility. After much discussion, pro and con, the form decided to revert to the original philosophy of inspections whereby only those boys who seemed best fit to handle responsibility were granted an opportunity to exercise it. The remaining members of our Form were to take over jobs, such as Night Dish. We put this system into effect the first few days of the Spring Term. The night before we went home for vacation, we were doubly treated. Mr. Rourke got up at the end of dinner to give a short talk on Winter Term Prize Day. It turned out that the prizes to be awarded were for the best spirit on Night Dish, 'I-L the least contribution to the barber's new Buick. and so on. Here again, lVlr.- Rourke showed his great and original humor for which he is famous. After supper, the school assembled in the Auditorium to see the Dramatic Connnittee's presentation of Arsenic And Old Lace. The class of T955 found Mike Rae. Bob Lawrence, Bombay Baker. Joel Roberts, Chipper Swallow. and Jack lVlaresca taking major roles in this humorous comedy directed and produced by Mr. Fluharty. This play was perhaps the best that we have seen at Kent. At the end of this term. ten of our brethren had made the Scroll, two of them having made High Honors. The entire school adjourned at this point for the three-week Spring Vaca- tion. J 3 One Sunday morning early in Spring Term, after our return, the Glee Club, which included many of our form, was heard in a broadcast over WTIC in Hartford. Those of us not so fortunate as to participate broke out our contraband radios to hear Gilly's club do a competent job. Without a doubt, one of the major events of this term was the infamous Form Work Holiday. That Tuesday morning, the entire form started on such jobs as landscaping the area near the new soccer field, landscaping behind the Sports Build- ing and changing the old road in front of the Chapel into a lawn. As the day progressed, however, many things happened that were not planned. There was a bitter fight versus those working on the soccer field and those assigned to the sports building area. The result was two minor casualties. Despite such diversion, a great deal was done toward beau- tifying the school grounds. Perhaps the most beautiful was the large 55 which was neatly sown in the new lawn in front of the Chapel. e . jliina --3 gp ,sf . H if 2 Qi Y 42 LIFE . . - , . . W ,t ' . ' ' ' an .-fa-. 38' 1,,'j'Q'gg.L tttt t - ln early May, Father Pat told us that John Sessions was to be our Exchange Scholar to England. On Father's Weekend the annual Lawson-Tancred speeches were given. This year Graham Fuller spoke on- ibut not inl Esperanto, Dan Garrison gave a talk on the Formosa Islands, and Mike Rae gave us his impression of America. On Prize Day we learned that Graham had won the 355 prize. The next weekend, the Glee Club again distinguished them- selves by singing in the evensong service at the Cathedral of St. John the Divine in New York. We enjoyed our few hour's freedom in the Big City. In the waning days of May, Mr. Newton announced the opening of the Annual Alumni Essay Contest. This essay, written on The Christian Idea of Education, was one of the major projects in Sixth Form English so a good many entered. Bill Wurts won the S25 prize for the best entry. ,, L . , On May 14-15 we held our Spring Formal with Phil Malen again providing our music. This dance, being strictly Sixth Form, was very successful and we all enjoyed it. The next day, most of the couples, including Joel Roberts, trooped up to Numeral Rock to see our 55 for the last time. The next night we saw our last tapping ceremony as Charlie Appleton, Charlie Brainard, and Rusty Wing were tapped to succeed Terry Putnam, Jack Maresca, and Willy Howard as prefects of equal rank. Bill Ince tapped Dick Baiter to follow him as the fiftieth Senior Prefect at Kent. We now had but ten days left in pawn-r. On the twenty- fifth of May, the class of 1956 went to paint the Rock, signi- fying their ascent to the honored rank of Sixth Formers. The next day, the first of our Exam Week, we walked out of Job Assembly, leaving the class of 1956 entrusted with the sacred task of guarding all that we had stood for. We were then, to all intents and purposes, Alzmzni. The only thing that sep- arated us from our Graduation on June 2 was a short, much- dreaded and tedious Examination Week. .lnnv Svvoml was ai rulrl annl vluumly Prim- Huy for uni' r-lass. hnt luckily. tht- ruin ht-lit nfl until owning.

MOOSE His chest expanding amid the swelling cries of I go Ego , Moose rose to a position of respect and responsibility with '55. If not telling stories of Mary or Gail, Moose could be found seeking help in Math during a conference period. In his unique fashion, Moose has mirrored all the virtues of a Kent and Yale man, and a gentleman and scholar. STRAIGHT ARROW Who follows the straight and narrow-Straight Arrow! This cry trails the hard working, quiet, New York radio star and society man down the aisles of Job Assembly. Terry once again puts on the stern countenance and ailects the severe voice that terrifies the Rabble. But beneath all the show of strength and sternness is a friendly, likeable, respected guy, whom rabble and fornimates alike respect for the good job he's done as one of Kent's best prefects.

His athletic talents are summarized in saying that he is a fleet-footed bench warmer, and over- weight groaner, and a grimacing oarsman. Many a peaceful night has been shattered by his piercing cackle emerging from his Library retreat. We are all certain that if the Eastern Songbird hits the books at college as hard as he has scanned various periodicals at Kent, it will be a dillicult task keeping him OH the Deanis list. CRUSTY Crusty Chris has blossomed into a King Casual during the five agonizing years he has had his roots planted at Kent. Despite his irregular sleeping hab- its, Boude has constantly amazed all with his aca- demic rating.

DROOP Who typifies the perpetual Kent posture slump,', and who is it that 'always appears so slothful even under the most exciting circumstances? None other than Drouet. Although a pacifist at heart, Dave is constantly on fire internally with a will to win. Whether it is on the athletic field or in pursuit of a tough night's homework, he works to come out on top, and usually does. Droop has combined excellent athletic ability with hard work and a fine personality to become a leading member of our class.

A I .QV SPUD Though this l,'lIill'ill'lt'l' is 1-ornmonly known as Spud, all his friends assert that ,he is not a vegetable, hut a weed. Trailing from the sophisticated suhurhia of Greenwich LUSAJ, this modern Vifeary Xvillie is noted for an extenhive vocabulary, a marked tendency to hibernate, an aversion for all forms of law and order, and an alrility. semi-iniracnlous, for clamher- ing onto the Honor Roll. Now he moves from Com- mon ROOIII to Cornell. BRUSH Brush is easily identified by his campaign to teach the world a second language, Esperanto, and for this cause, he can often be seen around the school, attempting to sell unsuspecting rabble copies of Esperanto in Ten Lessons. Kent's amateur philol- ogist can be found ready to discuss the topics of the day in any one of the seven or so languages he claims to know. ln what time he is willing to sacrifice from his devoted language study, he moderates the discus- sions of the local soap-box organization and writes weighty documents for his Lit. and Contemp. classes.

SMOKELY Showing great aftinity for the cylindrical sin, Little Rick still managed to sleep away his study halls. When not asleep, he could usually be found in the shower room, practicing his off-pitch solo for the Bakefs Dozen.

Fcluu-l. , . mx ,fx R '-K ,L -C -., X The achievements of this ycar's football squad would appear to be few, but the hard work which they exhibited in the many practice sessions shows this to be false. The seven games that were played all showed that the boys of the team played their best. A squad of 50 boys returned from summer vacation with the sixth form on September 16 to vie for positions on the team. Under the guidance of Captain Bob Shattuck, the hard process of conditioning began. Bolstered by the return of 11 lettermen, the outlook for the coming season was favorable. After a week's conditioning period had passed, Coaches Chester Brown, Philip Downes, and Dave Hanson began to teach the all-important plays. First they would be carefully explained, and then run through endlessly by the squad. As the days went on, the Football Team began to show itself worthy of the name. The competition for the individual posi- tions was stifi and each player exhibited this in his aggressive- ness. On Saturday, September 25, the team had its inter-squad scrimmage. The entire squad worked hard and sought to exhibit its skill that day. The Blues consisted of the first line and the second backfield. The opposing Grays had the second line and first backheld. The results of this contest indicated the superior play of the line. Harold Pachios and Tuck Hicks played outstandingly. The two accounted for the three touch- downs of the victorious Blues. Also, the good showing of the first backfieid brought high hopes that the season would be a successful one. After the scrimmage, practice continued on an even rougher pace toward the oncoming game with Trinity-Pawling School. Spirits were high and after the game equipment was issued, the team was prepared for the first game of the season. 5luna'ing: Mills, Rucker-t, Howard, Timpson. Recd. Kneeling: Baite-r. Gillespie.

On the next kick-off, the Kent team drove deep into enemy territory, but was stopped at the 16. Choate's defense again proved too strong after Baldwin recovered a fumble and could not pene- trate the visitor's zone. The second half was tainted by some costly fumbles on the part of the Blue and Cray. One occurred on the 25 and soon after, Choate went across. At the end of the third quarter. Choate returned a Kent punt for a 45-yard touchdown, to make the score 19-0. In the final period, Kent made their bid to even the score. The first came when Bob Reed passed to Jon Topham in the end zone. Later. Tuck Hicks passed 24 yards to Reed who sped 60 yards to score. Both touchdowns were followed by good extra points by Detwiler. Choate scored once again in the final minutes, to make the hnal score 26-1-1-.

KENT 1 -LOOMIS 5 An undefeated Loomis squad outplayed Kent in all re- spects, gaining an easy 5-1 decision on October 13 at Kent. Loomis' Dickinson tallied twice in the opening quarter as the opponents kept the play in Kent territory for most of the period. Strong defensive work by each team prevented any further scoring in the second quarter. A-fast early second half assault on the Kent goal netted Loomis two more points. The last quarter defensive play of Tom Margetts and Leigh Faldi limited Loomis to only one other tally, while right- wing Brainard stored on a half-field solo flight in the last two minutes of the game, making Kent the first team to score on Loomis that season. Mid-season matches with Taft and Canterbury were post- poned due to illness in each school. Between games Coach deVillafranca kept the squad working on new offensive attacks while the backfield went through defensive drills. KENT 2 - THOMASTON 1 Kent gained its first victory of the season October 28 with a 2-1 triumph over Thomaston High School thus evening the season's record at one win, one tie, and one loss. Thomaston's Rayder scored early in the first period but, only minutes later, Kent's center forward Allen drilled a pass from Bainard into the opposition's nets to even the score. Sloppy play by each team ensued and the first half ended in a 1-1 tie. In the last quarter, Estabrook fired the winning goal with less than five minutes to play after a score by Bussche had been penalized. Goalie Margetts again shined defensively, stopping many hard shots that would have been goals. - if ,mg ---an-...,...,,,.. fauna..-w KENT 3 - IIOTCHKISS 3 On Wednesday, Oct. 6, Kent overcame a half-time lead established by the seasoned Hotchkiss team to tie the Bear- cats on their home field 3-3. An aggressive Lakeville team playing faster ball, and, capitalizing on Kent's inexperience and lack of confidence, scored three first-half goals, while Paul White sank a half-field free kick for Kent's only tally. ln the second half, Captain Bussche's inspiring drive and spirit coaxed the team to beat Hotchkiss to the ball every time. After Bussche's scoring penalty kick, the Bearcats tightened up their defense but could not stop a final Kent driye which paved the way for another Bussche goal. A ten- minute overtime failed to break the tie. Most of the team, at the end of the season, felt this game was their best in view of upsetting Hotchkiss and playing fast and hard soccer.

A third period. fifteen-yard goal from the left side of the field by Bussche tied the contest but Moran of Taft tallied on weak Kent defensive work.

Hatfield scored in the first quarter and in the last period Allen took advantage of sloppy play by the Trinity- Pawling goalie and again of a fast break from mid-field, thus completing Kent's scoring. The game was an exhibition of strong supporting play on the part of the Kent halfbacks and swift line play. KENT 2 -- BERKSHIRE 4 A 4--2 defeat at the hands of Berkshire ended the season. Scoring for Berkshire was done in the first two quarters while Kent's scoring came in the first and third quarters.

However, the never-say-die spirit that characterized the team throughout the season accounts for the many closely fought games. ln the season's opener an am:curate-shooting Canterbury five handed the Blue and Cray their initial defeat. Although Drouet and Pachios, co-captains, threw in twenty-seven and tucnty-two points respectively, the team could not match the 41871 shooting average exhibited by the deadly home team. Sporting a well-balanced attack uhich saw four men hitting dou- hle figures. Choate handed the Kent five their second loss of the season. 52-45.

The Blue and Cray had three men in double figures with Drouet and Wurts scoring fifteen points apiece, and Hicks following with thirteen.

The team was again coached by Kent Smith and Bruce Parker was captain. The twelve-game schedule opened as the Seconds defeated Canterbury 25-24.

Pete Magee began a four-game streak of being high scorer with 14. In the third game Canterbury was encountered and again beaten, this time 42-37. Scott Wakefield shared scoring honors with Magee, each having twelve. The first loss was against Taft 75-46. Following this came the second loss as Trinity-Pawling won 37-30.

The team then finished its successful season by easily beating Berkshire 54--32, Mills scoring 20. Much credit must go to Coach Smith who molded the team.

Having no organized practice because of a lack of ice the team went to West Point to gain experience. For the first game, with Westminster, the line-up was Captain Appleton, center, Don MacWillie and Peter Schmitt, wings, Bill and Frank Bates, defense, and Dick Alford, goalie. The score was 3-4, Appleton, MacWillie, and Bill Bates scoring for Kent. The Salisbury game was more organized but the Blue and Gray could not retaliate against Salisbury's third goal in the overtime, leaving the score 3-2. Scoring for Kent were Mills and Appleton. In the third game, the team was unable to prevail against the well practiced Plebes. The score was 1-9 with MacWillie scoring the lone Kent goal. After the Christmas Holidays, Kent again met Westminster in a league game with different results. Having had steady ice since the end of vacation, the team had worked out its kinks well enough to win 4--0. The first goal was scored by Bob Fryberger. Appleton scored the second goal in the third period on a pass from Jerry F ryberger. The latter scored the third soon afterwards on a pass from his brother Bob. Matt Mills placed the final goal with an assist fom Don MacWillie. The starting line-up was fixed at Appleton, B. Fryberger, J. Fryberger, B. Bates, F. Bates, and John Holmes. The team next went to Sheffield to meet Berkshire. The home team got off to a fast start by using a fast break-out play which our defense had trouble in counteracting. However, when the defense was changed back to line the team in the third period, we scored two goals, both by Jerry Fryberger. However, Berkshire continued their drive and concluded with six goals. Our line up was Appleton, Mills, MacWillie, B. and J. F ryberger, and Holmes. The third game was against South Kent, played away. In the first period Jerry Fryberger took a pass from Appleton and scored. Three goals were made in the second period: Bob Fry- berger's at 1:18, Appleton's at 10:20, and Mills' at 13:05. Early in the third period Bob Fryberger caught a pass from Mills and scored. The final score was by MacWillie on a slap shot. The score was 6-2. The next league game was played at Lakeville against Hotch- kiss. The Blue and Cray failed to check the Hotchkiss six which scored two in the first period, one in' the second, and two in the third. Kent's two goals were scored by Appleton in the third assisted by MacWillie, and by MacWillie assisted by Appleton, leaving the final score at 2-5. The next game was played at Kent against Choate. This was perhaps the team's roughest game of the season. There was good team work on both sides but the Kent line of Appleton, Fryberger, and Fryberger finally broke through and scored the third goal in an overtime. At 2:01 of the third period Bob Fryberger scored the first on a solo. Assisted by Jerry Fry- berger, he also scored the second. ln the overtime, the first line scored the winning goal at 6:18 while the defense held off repeated Choate offensive drives. The final score was 3-2. The line up again being Appleton, the Frybergers, the Bates, and Alford. The team next traveled to West Point to play the Plebes again. However, the Army boys were still too powerful for the Kent team, though the Fryberger's elusive play discomfited the Plebes no end. Kent's first goal was scored at 4:35 of the first period by Bob Fryberger, assisted by his brother. The Plebes then started to score, getting three in the first period, two in Top: Captain Appleton prepares to pass to Fxyberger.

The next game was against Berkshire again, this time a league game. For the first time the team played on a land rink which was totally different from either pond or artificial ice. The rink also had a slight rise in the middle. However, the Blue and Cray overcame this and turned in a spectacular record. The first goal was at 6:00 of the second period scored by Jerry Fryberger after Berkshire had scored late in the first period and early in the second. After Berkshire scored two more in the third, the Kent team rallied even though one of its defense men, Frank Bates, was momentarily put out of the game by smashing into the fence while trying to stop a goal. Bob Fryberger scored at 5:26 on a solo, Macwillie at 12:00 and Jerry Fryberger at 14:30. The score was even so the game went into overtime. The Blue and Cray now at full AEK its -V 'liaa st. ttee 1' me eeoo:::'e: A ele Q, I J A sg, .1 Appleton centers the puck. strength, battled hard and finally scored on a slap shot of Jerry Fryberger's assisted by Bob.

The next League game was played at Watertown where, after a week without practice, the Kent team suffered a 3-11 defeat.

Bob F ryberger scored the fifth and Don Mac- Willie the sixth. Though there were four goals let in the Bates brothers gave very good protection to Dick Alford. The Annual Alumni Hockey game was played at South Kent on' February 20 after a futile attempt to save the melting ice at Kent. The Alumni, bolstered by the exceptional goal tend- ing of Bill Jones '54, handed the team a 3-1 defeat. All three of the Alumni goals were scored in the second period, the first by Collins, the second by Mell '54, and the third by Humph- reys '4-4. The lone Kent goal was scored by Bob Fryberger on B.

By the second period's final whistle Taft had put four goals in past Sam Robinson, and the score stood 5-0. With Humphreys again in the cage the Taft squad scored two more goals.

With Sessions unable to play, Kent was still able to defeat the Wesleyan freshmen 7-2. Since the doubles team of Margetts and Plowden-Ward- law was forced to default because of time, there was only one loss in this match. The following match against Loomis proved to be the deciding one for the league championship. The home team defeated Kent 5-4 in one of the best matches of the season.

However, after splitting the six singles matches, Kent lost two of the doubles, with only the Drouet-Sheridan combination coming out on top. A strong Choate team gave Kent its worst defeat as they won 9-0. Sessions showed up best but an injury hampered him and he lost a close match in the first slot. On Dance Weekend, the Trinity Freshmen fell before the powerful Kent squad and returned to Hartford the losers by an 8-1 score. Drouet and Sessions dropped their doubles match for the only Kent loss. West- minster was the next team to fall before the Kent men 9-0. Traveling to West Point, the team took on the Plebes and emerged the victors by 6-3. Stephenson won h-andily, and Devereux and Margetts triumphed in long struggles. The doubles teams of Drouet and Sessions, Devereux and Stephenson, and Dunn and Plowden-Wardlaw all won. The following match with Hotchkiss was rained out and never played which necessitated a tie for second place. lt is worthwhile to note that Hotchkiss lost to Loomis by a greater score than did Kent. The last match of the season against Taft saw Kent win 7-2. Stephenson, Devereux, Margetts, and Plowden-Wardlaw won in the singles and all of the doubles teams won. In reviewing the accomplishments of the season, it is easy to see that although the team lost to the teams outside the league, their longer practice and more experienced players provided great experience to the Kent team, and was probably responsible for the good league record. This year, the team had the added advantage of being able to play on many excellent courts. Beside the two new all-weather courts next to the Sports Building which extended to them the opportunity to practice before spring vacation and immediately after wet weather, the first five courts in the north area were spread with a green material which made them quick drying and kept up a smooth surface through- out tbe season.

By winning four out of its six matches, the squad had one of the best sports records of the year. Many new players were developed and four club players advanced to positions on the second team. At the start of the season the team was composed of Bob Lawrence, Dick Alford, Stewart Dunn, Rick Oakley, Steve Plowden-Wafdlaw, Sandy Allen. Blayney Colmore, and Bill Fraser. As the season progressed, Pete Wilkins, , Dick Baker, Dick Tyson, and Steve Thayer joined the team from the clubs, ,, a U - e No captain was elected this spring. ln the opening match of the season, on April 23, the Seconds defeated the k my H , Canterbury Seconds by a score of 5-2.

The teams of Wing and Fraser. and Colmore and Alford emerged victorious in doubles. In the next game of the season, second tennis beat Berkshire 5-2. 'Seven men played for the Blue and Gray, as they won three of the singles and both the doubles matches. In the last match of the season, the Kent Seconds bowed to a strong Choate team 6-1. Plowden-Wardlaw playing No. 1 for Kent was the only winner for the visitors. The best individual records for this season are held by Dick Alford and Rusty Wing who respectively won more singles and doubles matches than any other players. A an 2 gl T ' ll if in F!

BASEBALL As the balmy spring weather floated over the Happy Valley, the baseball team took the field for their first practice. Led by Captain Don MacWillie at first base, other returning lettermen were Bob Reed in the outfield, Mac and Tuck Hicks handling the battery position. The season record was four wins and eight losses. Because of a washed-out game with St. Peter's on Wednesday, April 13, Coach Nadal scheduled a game with the Berkeley College of Yale Uni- versity on Saturday, April 17. ln a hard-hitting seven innings, Baiter and Wehmeyer collected two hits apiece while Bill Wurts' two-out double with the bases loaded hit the big blow of the game for the Blue. Never- theless Berkeley won 10-6. The next week proved more fruitful for the team as they won their first two games of the season. On Wednesday the Blues traveled to Washington, Conn. where, behind the superlative pitching of Mac Hicks, Gunnery was smashed 11-1. Mac struck out twenty of the hometeam as ,lack Detwiler smashed a long triple and Whitney Coyne followed with a double. During Fathers' Weekend the first nine played the most exciting game of the year. The Blue 8: Gray overcame a six-run deficit and relief pitcher Wehmeyer let in only two earned runs. Entering the game with three strike outs to set down the Berkshire rally Wehmeyer went on to baflle the Green. Kent scoring started in the seventh inning when, with two outs, pinch-hitter Shattuck scored Wurts from first on a long double to left center. Tuck Hicks batted Bob in with a single through the box. George Coyne followed Charlie Appletorfs hloop single with a long drive and brought in two more runs. After two unearned runs in the eighth sparked 5 . , 1 -tame , B Top: Detwiler dodges one.

Kent went on to score one run in the bottom of the ninth with two outs on Reed's base hit. a stolen base, and an error on an overthrow at third base. The following week saw a reverse in the trend set in the previous two games: losing to Choate 4-1, and letting Berkshire gain their revenge by a score of 7-5. Wednesday saw Choateis Newberg fan eighteen Blue K Gray and give them only six hits. Kent's only run came as a result of play in the first inning. Whitey Coyne continued pounding the ball with his usual double in the lead-off and scored on Reed's hit. From here on in it was scoreless ball for Kent. Hicks had a rough time in the first but after allowing three runs he settled down to pitch fine ball. April 30, at Shelheld, Mass., the Blue Sa Cray was once again stumped. this time by the Green of Berkshire. Allowing three runs in the first, things looked grim for Wehmeyer. but Kent's hurler settled down and remained unscored upon for the next five innings. Kent scored in the first on Coyne's hit, an error, and a fielder's choice. Again Coyne singled in the third and scored on Reed's long drive triple to right center. The Blue scored in the fifth and again in the seventh but this 5-3 margin was not enough to hold a lead. The Green bounced back with four runs in the bottom of the seventh to win the game. Sporting a 2-3 record the nine hoped to move up to the .500 mark by defeating Trinity-Pawling, and for the last time during the season they were above the halfway point. T-P saw Tuck Hicks gather three hits and Captain MacWillie two. The following Saturday was the beginning of a new era in the annals of Kent baseball-it was the beginning of a five game losing streak, and this was begun when they were soundly thumped by Loomis 11-4. Kent got its runs in pairs in the first two innings. Baiter collected two hits and one run, while the Fourth Form whiz, George Coyne, got one hit and scored twice. The next week Kent dropped a close one to Hotchkiss 5-41 and were then smothered 11-1 by Taft. These two losses made Kent's record 3-6. ---- -4 1.1-1 WT Q5 -t . Baiter streaks to first. Y 1,. .

Continuing in its pattern of getting soundly smashed. Kent dropped two of its four remaining games: to Kingswood 12-3 and then to West Point ll-4. In the Kingswood game the Blue Si Cray used three pitchers to quell the team from Hartford. In doing so they allowed eight walks and struck out eight. Un Saturday. May Zl. a strong Plebe team routed the Kent nine. Mac flicks managed to go the distance. and in doing so he struck out ten while walking three and allowing ten hits. Kent hit the Plebcs we-ll hut were unahlc to bring the runners around. The final gznne of the season was well played by the Blue 8: Cray and netted thcm a third place tic in the league standings. George Wehmeycr started things off in the first inning when he knocked in Reed and flicks with a long single. Hotchkiss countered with two in their half of thc first and then got three more in the second. But in the fifth Mac flicks and Coyne drew walks and scored on ground outs hy Mac-Willic and Tuck flicks. ln the next inning Kent clinched the game when. with the bases loaded, Coyne was hit by the pitch and MacWillie singled to put Kent ahead 3-5. Monday, May 30. the annual first and second team picnic was held. Tuck flicks was elected next year's captain while Wehmeyer won the Hates Trophy. The batting trophy went to Mac Hicks. Don MacWillie along with Whitey Coyne was awarded the Otten Trophy for runs batted-in. Ks were given to Captain Macwillie, Appleton, Baiter, Coyne. Detwiler. the Hicks, Reed, Wakefield, Wehmeyer.

Left with only two returning players from last year's undefeated squad. the team had little experience but improved greatly as the season progressed. Coached by Mr. Kent Smith and led by Dave Gillespie. the spirit of the team was good. The teanfs opening game was with the Millbrook first team at Kent on April 23. Millbrook had strong hitting and Kent was able to score only in the fifth inning. The final score was 26-4 in a seven-inning: game. Schmitt hits hard. sn A fs 588-1 BASEBALL On Wednesday. April 27.

April 30. Junior Republic scored two runs in the second, but Kent pulled ahead by getting three in the third. The opponents continued to score two in the third, two in the fourth, and three in the fifth. Kent pitchers gave up six hits while Junior Republic gave up four. In its fourth game of the season Kent lost to Hotchkiss 6-2 on May 4. Kent got two runs in the first. but was unable to score after that. There were costly errors on both sides. but the first two runs of the Hotchkiss squad were attributed to Kent errors. They got one run in the third and in the fourth and two more in the bottom of the sixth. On Wednesday, May ll, Kent played a close game with the Choate seconds at Choate. They lost, however. 9-6. Kent's last game was a return match with Hotchkiss on May 21. Kent was out hit 10-4 as their pitcher gave up only four walks.

Rowing conditions were ideal when the crews lined up against the Yale opponents. the 150-lla, Varsity. viith a slight tailwind leaving the waters practically unruflled. The home eight started at a pace of forty two strokes per minutes and the Yale shell held eveng however. dropping to a powerful thirty-five. the Blue and Cray began to pull away from their straining rivals. rowing at a thirty-seven. After a short sprint at the half way mark. the Kent hoat had almost three quarters of a length. Yale vainly attempted a sprint. but rais- ing the heat to a forty, Kent pulled away and flashed across the line a full length ahead ofthe Elis in the fast time of 4:44. The following week found the crews from Lower Merion. Penna., High School racing the Kent crews. The home boat jumped the Maroon at the start. and lowering the stroke. rapidly pulled away to cross the finish line with no real strain in 5:06. more than two full lengths ahead of the visitors. The following day. the crew packed the Arthur Derby and left for Cambridge for a race with the Harvard 2nd Heavy Freshmen crew on Monday. Conditions that afternoon on the Basin, where the race was to be held. were so adverse as to warrant setting up another course on the Charles, which was only three quarters of a mile long. A stiff wind-driven rain slashed diagonally across the chopping waters of the course. At the start, the Kent boat hold even and the Cantabs had only a position at the quarter. But the superior power of the heavier Crimson eight soon began' to show. and at the finish, Harvard had a full length on the Kent boat. The following week. thc Blue and Gray crew. once more on home water, bounced back to row to a victory over a power- ful Shrewsbury High School by one and one half lengths in the record breaking time of Ll-:29.5. slicing one and half sec- onds off the old time of 4:31. ln the racing start Kent jumped to a little more than a half length lead, and these relative positions were maintained until the sprint. The fleet Kent boat The excellent form of the first crew. upped the stroke to a forty one, and finished going away. A week later the crews left for Princeton where the firsts were again to race a 2nd heavy freshmen crew. The Lake Carnegie course was placid and sunny when the crews lined up for a floating start before a Houseparty weekend crowd. Kent jumped in the start to a two-position lead. Against the Tigers superior power, the Blue and Cray was forced to row at the high rate of thirty-seven, staving off the Orange and Black with leg drives as the crews jockeyed for positions down the course. As the three quarter marker flashed by, both crews were sprinting and were still even. Princeton sped across the finish a slim six feet ahead of Kent in the fast time of 5:04.

Kcnt's dance week- end, the crew found themselves faced with a second heavy freshman crew of an Ivy League opponent. Once again the start was floating, and the Yale boat was about three quarters of a length ahead because of a curve in the titer. The Kent eight picked up about two positions in the start, but the Yale men were more powerful and soon began to pull away. The Blue and Cray attempted to catch their opponents at the half, but this was to no avail, and when the three quarter flag was passed, the school oarsmen began a sprint, which though fail- ing to catch the Elis, gained a quarter of a length on the collegians who crossed over about a half a length ahead in a time of 5:03. Keutfs time was 5:05. The crewis next opponent was Nutley High School from New Jersey, on the Housatonic. The home crew was about a half a length 'ahead at the cud of the racing start, and lowering the stroke, began slowly to pull away. Kent was leading by a length after a half a mile and continued to gain. having picked up another half length by the three quarter ma1'ker. Raising the stroke for a short sprint. the Blue and Cray raced away to win by almost three lengths. Sixth form exam week interrupted thc crews rowing sched- ule to some extent in the week following. but on Friday the crews loaded the Cushee on the racks and set out for Worcester.

The Elis were jumped by a deck at the start, hut lowering their powerful stroke to a thirty- four, they managed to pull ahead at the quarter. By the half-mile barrel, the overstroked seconds were slightly behind the Elis and were never able to catch them. Yale increased their lead to a length by a series of leg drives before the three-quarter mile barrel. The seconds stretched their sprint early at the three quarter. The Kent boat rapidly closed the gap between the two shells to less than a deck, though their attempt was in vain as the Yale boat crossed the finish line one half a second better than their opponents. The visitoris time was 'l-:47 to Kents 11475. On Saturday. April 23, the second crew, facing the Lower Merion Seconds were jumped at the start hy two positions. At the quarter they were still one position he-hind. hut hy the half the two crews were even. Raising the stroke and apply ing leg drives, Kent was able to pull ahead by a quarter of a length at the three-quarter marker. With both crews upping their stroke to a 40, the more powerful Kent crew was able to gain another quarter length and finished a half a length ahead of the visitors.

The next race of the season was against the Princeton 2nd 150- pound freshmen on May 7. Getting off to a quick start, they over- stroked the Tigers and were ahead by half a length at the first quarter. After a series of leg drives, Princeton was ahead at the three quarters. but Kent gradually increased the lead and won by two seconds. The next Saturday, Kent easily beat Yaleis 2nd 150-pound Varsity by six seconds. Never going above a thirty-five, Kent was ahead by a length at the quarter. Yale's leg drives at the three quarter failed to bring them up to Kent. Gaining another half length, Kent fin- ished at 5:22. The Seconds won their fifth race against Belleville High School. Jumping to a three quarter of a length lead, Kent increased this to a full length by the quarter. Kent's sprint brought them across a length and three quarters ahead at 5:07, a seven second margin. To conclude the racing season, the seconds raced at the Worcester Regatta. The competition was with Shattuck and Halcyon of St. Paul's, Brown and Nichols, Technical High, Tabor, and Andover. Kent pulled ahead at the start, but was soon caught by Shattuck. By the half, Shattuck was a half length ahead and increased this to a length by the three quarters. At the finish Kent had only been able to pick up a quarter of a length in their sprint and came in 2.5 seconds behind Shattuck, followed by Halcyon, six seconds behind Kent at 6:10. At the termination of the season, the annual picnic was held at Mr. Walkeris house. Everyone's thanks were expressed to Allen Stowe who was captain of the Blue and Gray Seconds and to Mr. Walker who so successfully developed eight oarsmen into another winning crew. Crossed oars were then awarded to all the boat and Tooman who had replaced Tarhox midway through the season.

LEAGUE HOCKEY The Algos, coached by Mr. Barton, captured the league hockey championship this year by losing only two games out of ten played. The Nlacedoniatls came in second, with the Algos in third place. Again this year, the leagues were divided into A and Bn groups so that everyone was given an equal chance to play and so that the competition was even. The better players com- posed the Au group. As in previous years, the ice conditions were poor at the start of the season. However, with a great deal of care, there was average iec from mid-year on. ln the first game. on February 2. the Algos triumphed over the llousies fi-l. Fourth formers Dave Curtiss and Roger Mac- Millan slarred for the winners, although the playing was not outstanding on either side. ln lnid-Eielvrtlzlry tin-ro was another week of poor ive.

Chris Allen. and Stoner for the Massies. lfour league players advanced to the second team through the r-hallenge system. Total points for the Housies was 24 while the Nlassies had lfi. The Algos dominated the play in League Baseball this year. as they swept to an undefeated season hehind the masterful pitching of ,Ierry Turnbull. The league season started later than usual because of a shortage of manpower for eaeh elub. hut when the defieit was made up. three games were played each week to make up for the los: time. The season opened as the Algos easily downed the Housatonics 7-3, and the llousies retaliated in the next game to whip the Massies T-l. The Algos then proceeded to trounee the Massies 10-4-, behind the two-hit pitching of Jerry Turnbull. The Massies lone victory of the season came as Lane Larson twirled a two-hitter to down the Houies 3-l. Following this game. the closest game of the season came as the Algos edged the Massies 4-3. Turnhull pitehed a no-hitter for the victors, while Larson threw a one-hitter in a losing cause. Six more games fol- lowed as the Algos won four to the llousies two. The Algos concluded the season with seven wins and no defeats. the Housies finished with three wins and four losses. and the Massies won one, as against seven defeats.

LEAGUE CREW The three league crews began rowing in the rowing room before spring vacation in preparation for the early spring rows. After spring vacation, there was a three-week preliminary session before any races were held. The three coaches, Mr. Park for the Algos, Mr, Davis for the Housatonics, and Mr. Ritchie for the Macedonians went out with their crews every afternoon to teach them racing fundamentals, including starts, sprints, and leg drives. At the end of this three-week period, all three first boats looked good and the guess as to who would take the league remained open. At the end of the first round of races, the Housatonics looked the best for they had defeated the Algos, who in turn outrowed the Massies. The Housatonic power was demonstrated in their May 3 race with the Massies. Jumping their opponents from the start, the Housies were nearly a length ahead at the quarter. At the half, they were still rowing at twenty-eight and had kept their length lead. By a series of leg drives in the last eighth of the course, the swift Green boat gained another half length to win by one and a half lengths. Another fine example of their rowing abilities was in the May 5 race with the second place Algos. Pulling ahead at the start, the Housies were able to win by three lengths without sprinting. They complete the course in 5:09. In the middle of the season, the.points were 6 for the Housies, 2 for the Algos, and none for the Massies. The Housatonics went on to remain undefeated. For this feat, they were given the honor of rowing two outside races. The first was with a Poughkeepsie High School crew, who won by three lengths, although, the home crew was ahead by three-fourths of a length at the quarter mile. The other race was with Berkeley College of Yale. Hiousips again had the lead at the half, but by a series of leg drives. the Elis had a slight ede at the three-quarters. and won by .5 of a . 1. 143 ,second in 5.18. Q..

Quite as a surprise, and apart from the work of the Dramatic Committee itself. the Class of l955 presented a series of skits entitled The Follies of 1955 to the school and its guests on the night before Prize Day. Despite the secrecy and shortage of rehearsals, it was well executed and did not fall into the traps of slapstick or ultra-subtle comedy. Michael Rae and ,lim Reynolds produced the play. which took the form of a musical with lyrics. The Overture featured Reynolds at the piano playing a unique variation of Crazy Otto. Such arrangements as Thanks to Television, The Urnlncn Mirror, Inferior Decoration, I Be- lieve, and Crnss over the Bridge, and Potted Shalcespenre fol- lowed with a trio or solo by singing seniors. Included in the cast were Treat Walker, Bill Robbins, Bob Laurence. Hal Pachios. Merritt Miller. Wally Ruckert. and Vince Janke. In summary, the year was quite successful, and we owe a debt of gratitude to Mr. Fluharty for his fine work. ...Q A scene from '551 production of Henry IV in the Spring Left In Right: Schwartz, Roberts.

THE CHOIR This TCZII' the choir has lweeu exceptionally active lmih in leading the congregation in singing. and in hringing in and teaching the congregation new songs and masses. With Yincc ,lanke as president. helping Mr. Gilliam in organizing and arranging the rehear- sals. the choir was alwle to learn many lnore songs. and even add a new section of ahout ten lioys in the hack of the chapel. ln the fall. with the proverbially unattenflalmlc rehearsals after sports on Tuesday and Thursdays. the choir managed to learn several new hymns. and teach the congregation a new chant for both the J'l'fc1gl11'ficnt and the fivlllllf l71'!71IAlI1iS. These were well received hy the school. At this time. several new memhers u ere tried out for the new section in the lm-k rows of the chapel. This Yew llloodfi a little shaky at first. proved to he a great help. hoth in lead- ership. and in providing a source for the new members to replace the graduating songsters. During the winter term. amid a flurry' of purple sheets and frantic rehearsals. the choir finally pre- sented to the school the new mass that Mr. Gilliam had written. The school. eager for the change. offered many compliments. Tllli CHOIR: Frnuf Row: .lanki-. Tyson. Wellington. Its-eel. Beard, Wariiig, lin-lm-r.

THE MUSIC SOCIETY This past year has undoubtedly been a most active and successful one for the Music Society. lt has not only gained new members. hut also new records have been added to the Societyis growing collection. The Music Society again led the school in membership, and with its modest dues, bought many new items and yet ended the year in the black. The Music Prize of twenty-five dollars given to the boy xx ho has shown the most interest in music while at Kent was given to ,lim Reynolds.

I. ik Nl r 1 aw lcr. Merrill. During the past year. the Bell Ringer's Guild received more hon- ors and publicity than any other preceding guild. ln addition to being the subject of a full page article on bell ringing in a prominent Connecticut newspaper. the members appeared on a television show. 0IllIlil1llS, on Easter Sunday. For this appearance, a film and sound track of the ringers in action was made before the school. adjourned for Spring Vacation. This film included several views of the campus and buildings against a background of ringing. Fr. Patterson then delivered a brief talk on Kent's system of change ringing. after which, he introduced the nine members who gave a brief demonstration of the tone of their respective bells. The film concluded with the entire group ringing together, showing shots of the bells in action and of the entire guild working with each other. On Easter Sunday. the guild members enjoyed seeing the show in the Rectory. Early in December, the hrst Iuand traveled to Groton School in Massachusetts. the only other school in the United States where the centuries old art of change ringing is still carried on. During the weekend spent there. they rang Crnmishire Doubles and Plain Hunt- ing. During February. Groton repaid the visit and rang several times on the Kent bells. Near the end of the fall tern, the Guild rang the bells for the wedding of Patricia Worthington. daughter of the History master at Kent. The bells were also heard on every significant occasion and on most every weekend. ln the spring. Slicrb Merrill and John Marsh were appointed co- chairmen for 1056.

PUBLICATIONS THE KENT Nfws In addition to claiming high-quality reporting and more pictures. the 1955 News can take credit for unique and unprecedented fea- tures: the largest issue of the News ever printed. a four-page 50th Anniversary supplement inside a regular four-page editiong an edi- torial in ten point type by the managing editor appeared for the first time on the front page: and more advertising than ever before was solicited. To confirm the quality of the f'Ye1c's reporting. the 1955 board, led by Editor-in-chief Hob Lawrence and Managing Editor Ruddy Turnbull, was awarded a first division prize at the Columbia Scholastic Press Association Conference. lop: Tlllf IUJS ISU-tllltz 51-ulutl: ,lont-s. lttner.

The attractiveness of the paper is due largely to his unrelenting effort to produce clearer. more telling pictures. The less glorious work of the News was delegated to the associate editors who were always willing to help. Sixth formers Dave Collins, Hank Feldman, Bill Fraser, Barry Holt, Ned Sheridan. Bill Wurts, and George Wehmeyer held'ass0ciate editorships. Three faculty members were actively involved with the News. Mr. Ronshaugen, faculty adviser, did not participate directly in writing articles, but often corrected errors in reporting and in policy that slipped by the editors. Mr. Ritchie, adviser of the 1953 News continued to write his weekly unewsletterv. Wish You Were Here and thus covered many interesting aspects of school life. Mr. Walker prepared the Alumni Column each week and kept the editors informed of important alumni activities. Throughout the year, efforts were made to enliven the News and to offer some variety in its content and appearance. This has been especially true of the second page, where editorial editor Bob lttner effectively used a bolder ten point type to alter the normal drab face of that page. He also moved the various columns to break up the monotony of the page. On page one, no two identical layouts were used, so that a more interesting page would be offered. The sports page constantly varied in make up. Sports Editor Margetts often related histories of past sports and teams, and established a new column, The Benchwarmerf' Again, the News was obliged to meet a strict budgetancl Advertising Manager Stuyvesant Bearns solicited enough ads to maintain the Neufs's self-sufficiency. Another 1955 New's first was a two-page Alumni Supplement made up completely of pictures. The four-page supplement to the April 14th is'sue included pictures of Kent in the early days, informal poses of several alumni as they were as students, mH9ENTT.

The editors sought a full coverage of all news to keep the readers entirely abreast of the school's happenings. ln achieving this goal, the News board received some criticism. yet was personally satisfied V with the assurance that the obligation to the outside-of-school audi- ence was well met.

More emphasis was placed on an artistic approach to the general layout than before. in hopes that the hook would he appealing to look at as well as to read. Four pages in the beginning of the hook were devoted to a pictorial review ol the changing Kent scene, as has been ohserved hy '55. Also. hecause we were aware of our debt to the faculty, individual pictures and writings of the masters appear in a special section dedicated to them, lfinally, more space was given to the league sports and the underforincrs since they both have played such a sig- nificant part in our lives at Kent. The leadership has been delegated among several people. primarily those on the hoard. George Vlfclnneyer and Bill lloward have shared the responsibility of raising the necessary funds for publication. This included writing end- less letters, making many personal appeals. and conducting a sales campaign. ,loel Roberts and his staff successfully collected a large store of photos from which to make the final choices and insured their clarity and proper size. Chips Swallow proved an eflicient managing editor by maintaining an excel- lent relationship between the yearbook and the school in sales. and the yearbook and the business concerns outside of school with which we dealt. As editor, Dave Collins combined the work of the above men with planning the layout and preparing and checking the copy in order that the book might be ready on time for publication.

This year. with a stall' of eleven boys. the Blue Key has greatly increased its responsibilities. For example. this fall during the football season. the members parked visitors cars. aided in seating guests of the school in the football stands. and in distributing game programs. Directly following the game, the Blue Key members ofticiated as hosts and waiters at the sports teas in the Trophy Room of the New Sports Building Ever since the Blue Key Society was grown in size and in its main function, the school.

Zlfjlll Particularly on weekends in which class reunions yt ere being held, the Blue Key assisted numerous alumni by serving as guides through the new .ww school plant. This spring, the main job of the Society was to supervise both the park- ing of cars and the spectator area at the finish of the crew races. Beside this, much was done on Father's Weekend to make this important occasion run more smoothly. Tin' lY llfUl'U fS t'l ' PFPPBTC all Yltf' Ff'll l T639 H!

One of the most interesting activities undertaken by the Blue Key members was in showing a group of foreign members of the UN Secre- tariat around the school and explaining the purposes of Kent. These are only a few of the duties of each Blue Key member. for there are numerous other minor functions which must be carried on throughout the school year. In recognition of the work the Blue Key has done. lVlr. Howard, faculty adviser. has decided to give each sixth form member a blue and gold pin in the shape of a K. The idea behind this award is to pay tribute to those boys who have sacrificed a great deal of time and energy in acting as the oflicial school hosts.

The east also included Hill lfasman playing Betty's father, Mike Ellis as the Commissaire de Police. Alexander Lukens as a hellhoy in a Paris hotel. and Boris Luts as the hotel's clerk. The comedy is based on a misunderstanding: that the in- terpreter can speak only French. ,lulien and Betty have eloped because Betty's father refuses to allow their marriage until Julien has become a partner in a bank.

Rorkt-, Meeting bi-weekly with the aid of Mr. Semler and in his classroom, E1 Circulo Hispano conducted meet- ings of varying character centered around things Spanish. The membership of the club was kept low so as to permit all discussion to be held in Spanish. The meetings ranged from listening to the music of Spain and South America on the music equipment provided by the club to discussions of slides of Spain and Mex- ico shown by Mr. Semler. One of the main aims of the club was to promote the members' ability to converse in Spanish. This was carried out through individual voice recordings to point out mis- takes and through discussions on varied topics and general conversa- tion. Such speeches as The Art ot Rullfightingn by Vice-President Bearns were always followed by question and answer periods in which all the members were urged to participate. Formal debates were onnnitted from the meetings on the theory that all discussions should be of a spontaneous routine and not settled and read as is so likely the case in a debate. Beside Bearns. the other officers were President Bussche and Secretary Hatfield. G E R M A N l.nkf-ns. Rue. and l.nls, Last February the German Club held it first meeting in order to elect its oflicer and to decide upon the agenda for the rest of the year. The club was made up of first to third year students and was under the su- pervision of Mr. Maillet. Joel Roberts was elected President. with W. B. lVlcGonky and Don McGuire filling the positions of vice-president and secretary. respectively. Because of the crowded Spring Term schedule. meetings were agreed to be held in the Music Room every other Sunday morning. At these meetings Der Deutsche Verein attempted to accomplish the aim ol' bringing about more knowledge of the spoken language as well as the culture of Ger- many through spontaneous conversation on current affairs. summer vacations. and happenings around school. This manner of round table discussions is an experiment for lVIr. Maillet who is trying to encourage interest in German throughout the school.

The club was greatly helped by the presence of a native German. Hans Hederer, who has been in the country a few months. At the frrst meeting, Hans delivered a talk on his life in Germany. and the response was so great from the club that a record Gircling the Globe with Speech--German was purchased. This is one of a series of records which enlivens interest in major languages and brings to life many personalities of other lands. The interest in the club has been surprisingly great and a trip to New York was planned to see a German movie. Later in the term. the chief occupation of the club was to analyze the German tempera- ment by an investigation of German opera. and folk songs and by listening to i'Faust'7 and Wagner. Tlllif CHESS CLUB: Seulefl: Lrunnleu, A. Dunning, llariss. Thayer. Marsh. Slrmrling: Reinicr. Bi-iler. Lippincott, Perry. T. Dunning, The Chess Club ended its 1955 season with a 1-5 won-lost record. having defeated only Canterbury. Activities began on December l. 1954 when the club met to elect oflicers and to plan future programs. Windy Harris '56 was elected president and llill Fraser '55 vice-president. Mr. Conover announced to the group that he would try to arrange for at least six outside matches before the end of the season. The arrangement for the chess ladderi' was determined as follows: the chess team consisted of five members who had worked their way up to the top positions and who then had to accept challenges from below them. lf a boy won a game. he was free to challenge again. ln all. there were about twenty- hve members in thc club. Un Sunday, January 30. the Canterbury team defeated Kent 3-2. john Marsh. playing the number hve position for Kent, scored the first victory during the opening ten minutes of the contest. ln the number four spot. llob Crunden took almost two hours to force his Canterbury opponent to concede. Steve Thayer and Pete llunniug. playing the two and three positions, respectively. dropped close games to their opponents just after Crunch-u's man 4-oncederl. Windy Harris. in the number one slot, lost his match at the decisive moment. thus giving a nar- row victory to Canterbul y. 160 llotchkiss edged Kent by the same score of 3-2 on Weclries- day. February 9. Crunden scored the first win for the latter in the opening half hour of the match. 'lihayer followed with a loss to the Hotchkiss number five man. Seconds later. Pete Dunning, playing number four. won a iery close contest to put Kent in the lead by a score of 2-I. ln its only win of the season. the Kent team vanquished Canterbury on a return match on Sunday. February 20. Dun- ning, who played number four on the Kent side. defeated his opponent in thirty minutes. Second to finish and to win was Marsh, Kent's number one man, who forced his opponent to concede the game after three-quarters of an hour. The tourney was decided when Harris, playing the number two position for Kent, forced his man to concede after an hour of playing. Thayer and Crunden, numbers three and five. were each check- mated by their Canterbury opponents. the latter after a hard fought struggle lasting almost two hom's. Vice-President Fraser contemplates The Phunlonfs move. Mr. Conover congratulated the club at the end of the year for the work and spirit the members had shown during the year. Although the year had not been a success in the w'on-lost column, he said that there had been a marked improvement over last year in every other respect. SCIENCE CLUB The Science Club. under the direction and guidance of Father Woods, had a long and interesting season this year, extending their range of study into almost all phases of the scientific field. The first lecture of the year, on the subject of chemistry, was given by Windy Harris. This was accompanied by a demonstration dealing with the spectacular aspects that may be produced by a mixture of different chemicals. One of the most interesting of these experiments was concerned with the creation of an ash-like substance which, upon contact with a certain chemicali expanded into a solid one hundred times its original size. The next meeting was presided over by Jeff Kittredge. He spoke on the oscilloscope and demonstrated some of its uses both as a novelty and as a highly valuable and practical instru- ment in industry. During the course of his speech he showed what the human voice looked like as registered on the screen of an oscilloscope. He also pointed out the difference between the graph charted by the machine reacting one time to music. and the next time to a plain noise. The scope also made it possible for the audience to tell the difference between a pure tone of only one note and a tone mingled with deviations from the pure tone, known as overtones. Kittredge explained that in the usual piece of music, all tones are impure notes or notes containing overtones. The actual pure tone in itself is both difficult to hear and unpleasant to the ear. THE SCIENCE CLUB: Seated: Beiler, Lippincott, W. Harris. R. llarriss. Perry. Standing: Collet, Westhorp, MacMillan, Hartney, Crane. 161 The third major lecture of the year was given by third former Craae. who demonstrated the amazing properties of black light. He explained how minerals containing phos- phorous glowed when in the presence of this 'gblackn or ultra- violet ray. The phosphorous glow. however, is not of merely one type. Its glow is modulated in color and make-up depend- nig upon the type and amount of other chemicals present in the phosphorous. These rocks subjected to the ultra-violet rays created many amazing and beautiful colors of varying shade and texture. Aside from these three major lectures various smaller ones were given by other members of the club, all being most inter- esting and informative. instilling in all the members a greater appreciation of the field of science and a greater intellectual curiosity to explore its various fields. This year marked the thirty first and last year of Father Woodis career at Kent. It has been only through him that the club which he started eight years ago has flourished and grown. Indeed, his very personality and presence has main- tained the club through the years and his contribution to both the Club and science at Kent is not one which will be quickly forgotten.

Winner flraham Fuller lfnllom lmll: tiarrison llollom lffglilf llac . ai The main emphasis ol the I'ublic Speaking Society during its 1954-1955 season was on versatility in speaking. The oflicers for the year. Graham Fuller. William lnce. and George Wehmeyer. as president. vice-president. and secretary respectively. felt that the Society had placed too much emphasis on research and pure debating during former years. As a result. variety nas the keynote for this year. The Society was particularly fortunate to have as one ol its faculty advisors Mr. Fluharty. a man with considerable cxperience in leaching courses on how to speak. and in aiding professional theater productions in speech direction. Formerly. much of the society's time was spent on lectures on hon' to speak. lVlr. Fluharty's course. oflered to the third and sixth forms. solved this problem and allowed the Society to put into practice that which had been learned in class. We had excellent advice then. at all times. with experienced critiques at the end of each meeting. Furthermore. Mr. Kurtz. as the other faculty advisor. was of unlimited aid on the content side ol public speaking. The fall term saw the introduction of a great many new teclmiques of speaking and arguing. The Oregon debate with its cross-examination of each speaker was used frequently. forcing the individual to think more clearly and to better express himself. Many extemporaueous speeches were employed on a variety of topics, usually humorous. A completely new device called a House of Connnonsl' debate was employed once or twice. This involved the proposi- tion of a bill which was to be passed through the llouse. Two speakers briefly presented the pro and con sides ot' a bill. and then debate was laid open to all to discuss the merits of the bill. After discussion was completed. a vote was taken to determine whether the bill was lo be passed or not. This encouraged the participation of all meinbers. Discussion and questioning from the floor after all debates was common procedure. Frequently recordings of famous speeches or actor's voices were played for the Society lo present an idea of techniques some of the top professional speakers used while speaking. Included were such personalities as W. C. Fields. Charles Laughton. Winston Churchill and Franklin D. Roosevelt. This term was also sparked, as was the rest of the year. by the presence of Michael Rae, Eng- lish Exchange Student and oralcur !'.Yfl'00l'tliIIHif6., providing us with many humorous speeches, very perceptive questioning. and in particular. the ability to bull. The winter term brought more debating than the previous one. Political topics were most frequently used, but the of- ficers did succeed in keeping away from the dull and tedious economic debate employing copious figures behind which the speakers could hide. One of the major accomplishments of this year's ofhcers was the creation of an underform or Junior Public Speaking So- ciety consisting of the formerly neglected second, third, and fourth forms. President Fuller took charge of this with the help of the other oiiicers during the winter. giving pointers, experi- ence, and organization to this group before they finally met independently in the spring. The first outside debate of the year was held with South Kent on the subject, Resolved: that radio and television facil- ities in the United States should be government subsidized. An afiirmative team consisting of Mr. Fuller, Mr. Clark, and Mr. Rae debated with South Kent at Kent, while a team consisting of Mr. lnce, Mr. Wing, and Mr. Garrison debated on the nega- tive side at South Kent. Both Kent teams were victorious. The spring saw the continuation of debating with one out- side debate with the Williarils College Freshmen. Un the sulr- ject. Resolved: that the linited States should extend diploma- tics recognition to lied China. uith Mr, Fuller and Mr. Rae ou the allirniatiyc. the Kent team lost a close decision. Apart. hut afliliated with the Society nas the l.auson-Tancrcd Ora- torical Contest on Fatheris Weekend. The competitors in this were Mr. Fuller speaking on lfsperanto. Nlr. Garrison on Quenloy and Matsu. and Mr- Rae on America as Seen hy an lnnocent Abroad. The winner. announced on Prize Day. was Graham Fuller. There was a definite improreinent in presentation and oral debating techniques this year. This was in part due to Nlr. be 1'- tr Unc menlber, Stuyiie Bcarns. cxlxibitcd his speaking Llllililics on CBS'- Youth Takes A Stand. Above: Ron Cochran. Beams. Prof. llilibitl.

P UNDERCLASSMEN The Underclassmen, as a general group have shown en- thusiasm aud initiative this year. They have lreen cooperat- tive ill helping the sixth form realize a goal of respect arouncl the school. In school life they have at-tell with maturity. something not always found in younger students. Filmlly. each form has shown a marked clegrec' of form spirit. wliivh results in strong school spirit.

Une of the fourth form projects was to make picnic' lunches for the sehool on Sunday. The Fourth Form. sometimes known as the problem forum achieved fame this year by plac- ing a third of its members on lirst or second teams, They have a great many men of responsibility and leadership who should prove effective under the new study hall set-up, whereby a number of cap- able monitors are made up into a staff. The class formed their own crew which gave some of them an . opportunity to work together and to have some fun. v.v.....,q----,pq ,,,m,U.
