Marsh T a .1 ames Patton Humphreys DEDICATION Who in the class 1956 will ever forget Humpo, master of Latin and Greek, witty sayings, and coach of many a tennis team? Among all the good and loveable things about Kent that we will want to remember, Jim Humphreys stands out as unforgettable. As a 'tribute to his 36 years of work for Kent and to his friendship and guidance to the fiftieth an- niversary class, we are proud to dedicate our yearbook to James P. Humphreys. Many of us first met him in third form Latin. There were naturally a few who took to Caesar and Cicero but the ma- jority forced Humpo to keep them awake with the flying chalk. Many won new nicknames and we all learned his famous words of wisdom. .lim Humphreys, scholastic record is a long and admirable one. He studied at Oxford University in 1914, then received his A.B. degree from Williams in 1919. He then returned to Europe and studied at the University of Paris in 1918-19. After a stint as an infantry sergeant he joined the Kent fac- ulty in 1920 and is now its oldest member. Many of the members of the class of 1956 who are alumni sons have fathers who were taught Latin and Greek by Humpo back in the 20's. He will continue his distinguished career next year when he will take a leave of absence and study at the Sor- bonne in Paris with his son, Brud. Outside the classroom Humpo is a familiar sight. He ref- erees league football in the fall and has coached first tennis for many years. As well as turning out some outstanding ten- nis teams he takes great interest in outside coaching. This spring he brought the Captain of the U.S. Davis Cup Team, Bill Talbert, to Kent to conduct a clinic. Much of the success of these ventures has been due to Jim's efforts. Despite all he does at School, Humpo is probably best re- membered as a lover of his dogs. He can always be found with one of his beloved boxers which he breeds at his home on the road to North Kent. They even attend daily classes with him. Recently Jim and his wife, Frankie, built a new house on the hill behind their old house and were planning a housewarming this spring. However, last January the en- tire school and town of Kent were deeply saddened to learn of Frankie's death. Jim's indomitable spirit had him back at his job within a few days and the housewarming event- ually went off as planned. This is perhaps a perfect example of the character and perseverance that mark Humpo's many years at Kent School. . ui The Rcvtnr and llczldnlaslvr. John U. Paltermun.

For that day marked the Class of '56's first showing here. If memory serves correctly, that September 12 was a Wednesday, and it was a nice, sunny day. We all had to be here hy 12 noon, and we made sure that we weren't late. Those of us that arrived early were given rakes, and before we knew it, we were raking freshly fallen leaves from the Chapel lawn. All of this marked the beginning of Early Term for all Kent new boys. Early Term was new that year, and the Class of '56, along with new boys from all other forms became the first f to experience this special orientation period. It was a long week, and we were a confused bunch. Bells rang continually all dayg we rushed from place to place, never quite knowing exactly what we were doing or where we were going. Honeybear, Bobby, Pete, Jerry, and Izz - 2nd form year, ?fSirH:, But Early Term , as dragged out and un- ending as it was, helped us immeasurably. We met and got to know Fr. Patterson, our Head- master. We found out from various masters what our studies would be like. We learned about the job system: that none of us could escape it. We discovered the sixth form fwhat monsterslj ran the school, and that Sandy Millspaugh was the Senior Prefect. And the things we learned best of all was that we were second formers, which didn't make us very important. Then one day Father Patterson reminded those of us who didnit realize it, that we were Kent's fiftieth class, and that 1956, our graduation year, was the year of Kent's Fiftieth Anniversary. We sud- denly felt like a very significant bunch. Early Term ended, and fall term began. The form was split up into three different buildings: the North Dorm, the Library, and the Auditorium. We all seemed to find friends in our buildings, and we began to feel a lot more at home. We did everything vigorously and eagerly. Most of us played junior football or club soccer. A few of our big boys, like Jack Detwiler, played senior league football. Time went on, and finally our first report cards were given to us. It was amazing! Our averages stretched from 65 to 88. And the man with the 88 was a smiling Russian spy by the name of Sergei Berezowsky. A disorganized-look- ing genius named Bunker was hot on the Rus- sian,s heels: Bunker had an 84 average. In the meanwhile. Jerry Baird and Bob McCracken just couldn't figure out those 15's in Latin. The term progressed rapidly, more indi- cators ended, the Algos proceeded to capture both senior and junior football, and the first football team, captained by the feared and re- vered Butch Wilson, pounded out a 50-50, three and three record. We won't easily forget the last game of the season with undefeated Hotchkiss. Our line and backs fought like wildcats. The final score was 26-19. lt was a great game. Fall term came to a close, and our first term at Kent had ended. We tore home for Thanksgiving vacation and filled our families' ears with confusing stories of our first exper- iences on the banks of the Housatonic. Winter sports started right after Thanksgiv- ing, and we learned that we had our choice of basketball, hockey, wrestling or skiing. As usual, our tastes were varied. We had representatives in all sports, and some of them did pretty well. Pete Schmitt, Dick Alford, and Bob McCracken looked promising in hockey, Dave Clapp, Mike O'Connell, Mac Hicks, and Bill Weber started for their clubs in basketball. Christmas vacation came and went. Most of us returned to school sporting new striped ties and grey flannels, which we were told were a mush Then the real business of the term be- gan. Snow fell, and we found out what Kent is like in the winter. I Five Tears Later, Still Fresh, and Eager '56 work holiday project before. . . . . .and after. Naturally, snow ball fights occupied about half our time. We feared no one for so we thoughtlll Our courage waned after our initial encounter with Bud Rockefeller, Bill Spall, Dave Gallup, Howie Teter, and their forces. Many a gallant member of '56 fell for ran, that fateful day. Before we knew it, we were in the midst of a terrible period called Exam Week. We stud- ied like fiends, and took each exam as if we were being whipped. We feared the results, and al- though we really didn't do too badly, we were still quite relieved when the exams were over. The long cold term died in March, and we all headed home for three weeks. We were all sort of optimistic at this time, because everyone had told us that spring term was great. Turns out that it was, too. For one thing, a lot of us got our first shot at an incredible sport called crew. We couldn't get it through our heads that some day some of us would probably be rowing on that first crew, the crew made up of mountains of muscle like Van Rensselaer, Hink- ley and Brown. Yet some of our boys did nota- bly well in crew that spring. Leigh Faldi fthe 90-lb Italian wonderj coxed the first and second Massies! They both won, too. Meanwhile, Jack Detwiler qup to 202, though still only 13j, Mac and Tuck Hicks fno one could tell them apart yetl, and Bobby Reed did remarkably well in club baseball. Dick Alford showed potential on the tennis courts the beat the Senior Prefect once or twicej. Hacks marked that first spring term. Who can forget the rainy day that this big Rikki Van Rensselaer, Chuck Mignon, and company threw around, clobbered, and literally buried Detwiler, Faldi, Clapp and Mac Hicks in the two-feet mud of the bogv. Or the day that Gallup, McHugh, and Mcllyer C52 alll carried on a water fight with second formers Qus, by gumlj Weber, Schmitt, Clapp, Detwiler and Damour. The weather got warmer, and the day for the tapping of the Prefects for the class of 1953 arrived. Bob Ward was the new Senior Pre- fect. Charlie Tighe, Howie Patterson, and Art Hodges were picked as the other three leaders. We thought the choices were good, but were all forced to listen to Lily Lonsdale describe how he knew who the Prefects would be all the time. Oh well, maybe he did know. Now who's on second? Final exams came, and our first year at Kent ended. We had been a pretty good form. Berezowsky had led the bunch academically. Bill Weber and Bert Waters had been our two form presidents. Did good jobs too. We were all eager to get back to our families for summer vacation, but most of us knew that Kent was going to be our real home for the next four years. At this point, the saddest occurrence of our Kent careers took place. Father Sill, known to us as Pater, passed away. Father Sill was the founder of Kent School, and although we had only been at Kent for a short time, we realized the great importance and significance that his life had held. We regretted not having known Pater better, and we were very sorry at his pass- ing away. Third Form Year! We were positive that there just cou1dn't have ever been a bigger bunch of wheels than us. We looked down on the new rabble fthe class of ,571 with disdain. One of the first things we noticed was the fact that our form was twice as large as it had been in the spring. We were outraged! Invaders, we shout- ed! Later that night Jack Detwiler, who had been back a week for First Football practice, told us just exactly who the good guys were. Well, we soon discovered that they were all good guys, and that they were as much a part of the form as we were. One of the first things we did that Fall was elect officers. The results show- ed that Reed, Waters and Schmitt were the peoples' choice. The football and soccer seasons started, and our form was again active in both sports. Jack Detwiler and John Heiser made Jim Draper's First Football squad, while new boy Charlie Brainard made First Soccer. Other new athletes Moments to remember. ' T T lr if The coaching staff - Messrs Partridge, Reed and Nadal. Mallee and that Doylestown girl. f showed up all over the form. Charlie Appleton looked good in football fsenior Massiesl, and Ned Hatfield was a definite comer in soccer. The Mas- sies won senior football. and almost went unde- feated. ln the Junior League, the Hoosies went undefeated and unscored-on. Tuck Hicks scored as phenomenal number of T.D's., and his brother Mac, Bob Reed, Dick Baiter and Dick Alford were also stars. The First Football team had its problems. Captained by Lloyd Davis, the squad won only two, while losing four. But we rooted hard any- way. I deVille, Benny, Humpo and Chick. One thing that Fall term did prove was the fact that we had acquired many new brains Hawkins, Wing and Harris constantly made the hallowed scroll, while Van Buskirk, a loafer turned prodigy, suddenly came up with an 87 average. Of worthy note is the fact that Bere- zowsky was still on the Honor Roll, and Charlie Appleton made the grade with a 80.00 average. fNo, he never made it againj. Thanksgiving came at last, and after this annual five-day break, we were back at school to start winter sports. New stars were unfurled. Rusty Wing, George Beard and Bill Weber made the Second Basketball team, while Charlie Ap- pleton and Charlie Brainard made the second hockey and ski teams respectively. Winter term and fneed we say itj more snow and snowballs. That Rockefeller guy was still around, and he was backed by Pawnshop Crane. They were relentless! The First Basketball team was great that year. At midyears they had only lost one game Ito Gunneryj. We all hoped they could snag the league title. Speaking of midyears, who can forget the Navy Corsair that buzzed the auditorium during the General Science exam? Rumor had it that the pilot was Nibby Anderson fsome might re- call his abrupt departure in '52j. It was fun pre- tending it was Nibby, even if it wasn't. As usual, we came out of exams in pretty good shape, and as usual, we were worried stiff over the results. Bight after exams we elected new officers. They were Rusty Wing, Charlie Brainard and George Beard. All three were new bo-ys that year. We veterans sat back and nodded solemn ap- proval. Living up to our greatest expectations, the First Basketball Team took the League title. In the last game of the season, the great Ronnie Tooman, aided by Morris, Topham and Voigt, pulled out one of the most exciting athletic con- tests in the history of Kent. Gunnery was the victim. The whole school went wild, and the team got champagne at their banquet. lt was a great day at Kent. Winter turned to spring, and the crew took to the river. '56 began to make a showing in spring sports. Iszard, McCracken, Holmes, and Faldi made good showings in crew, while Mac and Tuck Hicks, Charlie Appleton, Dick Baiter, Bob Reed and Jack Detwiler made the second baseball team. Foster Devereux f Lazooch j played on Mr. Grant's second tennis team. The First crew was good that year. In fact, they were good enough to go to Henley. We were proud of those guys, and they made a darned good showing in England. But all remember the time during that spring, when a chant for Mike Poler fthe cox of the crewj went up in job as- sembly How much do you weigh Mike? and the inimitable, sky '56, stood was sad when later. And that the unique, Mike Schereschew- up and said proudly: 168.,' It Mike left forever a few weeks was all for 1953. They were a good class. The new senior prefect was to be Ed- die Hughes. The school then voted for new council members. Wing, Brainard and Beard again made good. Of course there was the inci- dent that occurred when it was time to nominate men for council members that spring. It seems that the form suggested seven names. Out of these, only six could be offered to the school for the final vote. One name had to be left out. That Rusty, B. J., Tuff. . .and Linda. one name was none other than the incomparable 0tto's. On June 10th we left for three months at home, not really thinking of Prefects or council members. - In the history of almost any Form there is usually one year that is a little slow from the point of view of class achievement. Fourth Form year was such a year for us. Fr. Patterson had explained to us that many previous Fourth Forms had been do nothing forms. He asked us to try to avoid this, if possible. But we were just a little too cocky, and a little too smug to drink in his wise warning. It wasnit until spring term that we finally settled down, and we finished the year in pretty good shape. Fall term of that year found most of us with five subjects fhorrible thoughtlj. Also, most of us had Mr. Gilliam for Modern History. It was an experience that we won't soon forget. Per- haps the Phi Betta Kappa row of the sixth period section will remember it just a bit more vividly than others. Others of our class had the humorous Bear, Mr. Brown, for Latin. As Bear often said to Foster Devereux after a copy of one of the Latin department's soon-to-be-given tests was found to be missing: Ah yes, one missing. We had four new members added to our class that year. Tex Houston, Salty Al Peters, Mac Lukens, and, at mid years, Scotty Wake- field, all joined our ranks. We were glad to have ,em aboard. Early in the Fall we elected Jerry Bunker as our president. The Football team was good that year. The Blue and Gray marched easily through their first five games. Jack Detwiler played first string guard, and Charlie Appleton and John Heiser were on the team. The final game of the season was a heartbreaker. Billy Starke, the Q.B. was out with an injured back. In the first two plays of the game Skip Ulrich and Bill J ones, halfback and guard, were also knocked out. The final score was 20-6, in favor of Taft. We were sad, S.E.W. tries to quell the rabble. but we know that our team has done its best. It was also that Fall that 15 of us attended our first dance: as waiters. Charlie A.. was our head waiter, and we had a, great time, either trying to move in on Fifth Form dates, or sim- ply sitting on the sidelines smoking. The latter was a great privilege for us. The term ended with the Hawkins, Wing, Clark and Harris group still having their names show up on the scroll, Speaking of Jeff Clark must remind every- body of the first south hallway that year. It seems that J eff, Ted Dartford, Max Borland, Bob McCracken and some others had a sort of radio club going. It was a sad day when they all had to take the machines down to Hughes' room to be turned in. Oh well, rules will be rules! Thanksgiving vacation found the Hicks boys, Mick McClure and Alf staying at Kent out of sheer devotion for the school. What's all this about midnight rides in someone's Plymouth, men? We really arrived, as an athletic form, dur- ing winter term of that year. Charlie Appleton made first line hockey, and Brillo Brainard again We even tumed out to cheer soccer. U su... AWVV .,,.' The new auditorium. donned the hickories for the first skiers. Rus Wing and Bill Weber made the basketball team, while Beardy, Mac Hicks, Dave Clapp, Sherb Merrill, and Bob Reed made the seconds. Alf, Johnny Holmes, Mick McClure, Tuck Hicks, Otto Schmitt, Bart Bates and Put King played on Chick Downes' second pucksters. John Hei- ser and Al Peters were on the second wrestling squad. The winter of that year will be remembered as the time that two sixth formers, Bah and Ol- lie, took off. It was tough seeing Bah go, for he was basketball's top scorer. The most successful sport that winter was hockey, which put to- gether a nine and four record. At the end-of-the- season sports banquets, two of our guys Charles Brainard and Charlie Appleton, were elected captain of skiing and hockey. The Middle Dorm ' kg .,... .,, ...... w,Fm:f:1:,-sw.v-fm'-' .:Q1e,.ff:ffff'1ffHr-- The spring of that year brought crew, ten- nis, baseball, and a new sport, swimming. Car- ried on in somewhat secretive way, this swim- ming took place in the rapids above Mr. Arm- strong's house. Led by Fat Jack and Tucker, we spent many a hot afternoon in the cooling waters of the Hoosie. This term also witnessed many raids between the North Dorm and the Dining Hall. The North Dorm group headed by Brillo, Fat Jack, and Tuffy, met with buckets of water the attempted assaults from Club Dining led by Busty, Beardy, Honeybear, Dahoe, and Veeds. The fact that this all happened after lights makes it more interesting. Another incident that can't be left out was the trip made by Heiso and Rusty to Bennett Jr. As is quite often the case, they HH!! A visitor from the sky. were caught. A final incident worthy of note shall be called: the outhouse affairf' It seems that Hawk, Bobby, Swampy and Windy saw fit to move the old outhouse onto the road. Well, Scotty and Wimpy came along, and decided to knock it over. They all remained at school two extra days at the end of the term for their la- bors. ln spite of the penalty, the six of them plus everyone else got a laugh out of the whole affair. This all took place, by the way, during our form picnic in Macedonia. That picnic was a lot of fun. That spring the various sports did fairly well, and we had men on quite a few teams. The Hicks boys and Bobby Reed made the baseball team, Dev made the tennis team, and Leigh R am Faldi coxed the second crew. We also had a lot of men on second teams. The class of '55 came into responsibility at last, and we took over leadership in study halls. ,55's prefects were Bill Ince, Jack Maresca, Bill Howard and Tarry Putnam. It really seemed funny, having those guys who were just a class ahead of us tapped prefects. It all made us rea- lize that in just a year some of us would be in the same position. In the meantime, we decided that we would try to do a good job of handling the rowdy rabble in study halls. In the last week Busty Wing, Charlie Brain- ard and George Beard were re-elected council members. Then as a class we elected Dick Baiter our president for the coming year. Oh, by the The Hatch. way, Serg Berezowsky was still on the honor roll. Thus ends fourth form year, but before going on to fifth form year weld like to express our thanks to someone. This someone is Mr. Bill Armstrong. Up to the end of fourth form year, a Kent boy is an under former. Mr. Armstrong makes the three under forms his personal responsibility. He teaches them to study, he guides them, and he punishes them fwhen they need it, which is quite oftcnj. Our form was no exception. Mr. Armstrong yelled at us, belittled us, and work- ed us hard when we had hours. But he did it all for our own good, and we never will forget it. Thanks a lot, Sir! Fifth form year found our form slightly From Chapel Hill. smaller. Squeek Meyers, McGowan and Wharton fthe busj Green were missing. Also gone was the incomparable Bobey, Morgy', for whatever else he was calledj McCracken, the New Canaan Flash. Fr. Patterson told us that fifth form year was an important one from the point of view of getting into college, so we settled down to work. It was a bad year for football, but the grid- ders showed promise for the years to come. Tuck, Mac, Bobby, Jack and occasionally Scotty, all played first string. In the leagues, the senior Massies romped. Tuffy Stowe and George Beard were backfield stars. How about the Stowe-to- Clapp pass plays, when Fong would run out, cut back again, and Tuffy would throw the pass where Fong had just been, and the Chinaman would have to reverse again in order to catch it. A bit confusing but it worked. That was club football for you! In soccer. Brillo, Neddy Hat- field and Faldihi starred for the Blue and Grey. The booters also showed promise. The end of-the-season banquets came, and Jack Detwiler and Charlie Brainard were elected as captains of the football and soccer teams for the next year. The big flood hit Kent to Captain and the man who led the cheers. Before leaving fall term, mention must be made of our first dance. It was a dinner dance with Dobbs, and most of us had great times. Of course there was the preferred stock list, which helped out Wing, Devereux, Clapp and others considerably. Remember club stub Scotty? We're not really bragging when we say that we started the Kent-Dobbs relationship. Our mouths are shut when we're accused of trying to kill the same relationship. Of course, those who took part remember vividly the shav- ing cream fights and mock job assemblies that took place in Alford's room during, you guessed it, real job assembly. How about Wimpy and Mac? One last mention of fall term. It deals with the Halloweien Carnival which we put on, and which was a howling success. Faldi and Stowe starred as representatives of our form in short skit, and Alf won the costume contest. His cos- tume fcostume?J was a German flag and helmet. What imagination! We really had to work that year. We had to take five subjects again. fThat same terrible thought cropping upl. O. B. Davis was our Lit master. What a guy! Engrained forever in our heads is his lecture on quartering a robber in Elizabethan England and his strange likeness to a character we read about that year. I think that character captained The Pequodf' Fifth form Spanish students had Bish Colmore. Mr. Col- more always managed to combine humor and Spanish well, and his students will never have anything but respect for him. Then, of course, there was Art History. We all took it and we all had Mr. Breasted. Ten years from the time we graduate we're coming back to watch the fun. It seems that the chapel is going to cave in. Well, that's what we were told. Winter term was on us before we knew it. We were well represented on all first teams. Charlie Appleton, the captain, played first line hockey, while Dick Alford and Frank Bates played goalie and defense on the same team. Johnny Holmes played second string to Alf. Mac Hicks and Devereux played first string hoop, while Rusty Wing, Bill Weber, Dave Clapp and George Beard were also on the team. Ned Hat- field emerged from league hockey to make the first grappling team, and faithful Chas Brainard continued to lead the skiers. As usual, our guys filled many second team slots. The snowy term was an eventful one that year, and we were plenty active. In fact, Wyo- ming Mick McClure was so active that he left one night, never to return. The call of the wild! It was during winter term that we put on our second carnival of the year. The winter car- nival was held at the hockey rinks. Dick Baiter and Rusty Wing ran the proceedings, but we all helped in some way. Remember those figure skaters? They were good, and so were the re- freshments. Sports werenit too good that winter, but the majority of the teams sported a lot of men from our class and the class of '57, so prospects were bright for the future. At the end of the term Mac Hicks was chosen captain of basketball, Charlie Appleton was re-elected hockey captain: and Ned Hatfield was picked to head the wrestlers. Neddy also got the award for the most improved wres- tler. Spring vacation saw something new initiated into our form.

Early April and some members of the form a little more nervous than usual. Why? Well, it seems that tapping wasn't far off, and hard as it was to believe, it was members of our form that were to be tapped this year. The sprints were on, bets were being taken. At last some of our guys were on the crews. Leigh Faldi coxed the first boat, while Chuck Masters are human too. Mills, Tuffy Stowe, Bert Waters, Bart Bates, John Marsh and Put King rowed on the seconds. Oh, Terry Johnson fTall Terrl coxed the latter crew. In the meanwhile, Dev was firmly establishing himself as our form's tennis ace. Rusty and Alf were also up there. In baseball Tuck and Mac Hicks, Jack Detwiler, Bobby Reed and Dick Bai- ter were all regulars on the Coach Nadal team. Scotty and Wimp both saw lots of action during the season. Bobby sent the unit flying. Crew and tennis faired pretty well that sea- son, while baseball had a sketchy time of it. As the various seasons terminated, Leigh Faldi was elected captain of crew, Foster Devereux of ten- nis, and Redding Frazier Hicks of baseball. It was almost impossible to believe that members of our form now were captains or were captains- elect of every sport at Kent. As usual, spring term meant more hacking. Of everlasting memory is the night that the great Pete Magee, famed for his wit and versatility, took the jeep and cracked into a fence post. Luckily Dick Harriss, Lilly Lonsdale and some others ran to the rescue. If it wasn't one thing, it was another with Mage. lay, Nick, Russian, Art and Limey. . .1..,f:.,,.,,ftaaafhg--15: f--f 1 -ffm-. 1- '1 'Q W it We had our second dance that spring. This time Emma Willard and Westover were the vic- tims. There were more lists7', but they weren't so successful. That dance marked the first ap- pearance of a distinguished singing group known as The Discordsf' Included in the group were Rus, Alf, Veeds, Otto, Tuffy and Mage. Of more worthy note are the men in our form who can really sing. We have some able guys in our midst. Bill Weber, for instance, started singing in the glee club as a second for- mer. Bill was also a soloist for the club that year leach succeeding year, tool. Also, Web and Bobby Reed both spent most of their lives at Kent sing- ing for the Baker's Dozen. Chuck Mills also sang in the club ever since he came to Kent. Lance Larson, Art Crisfield, Pete Waring, Paul Feldman, Bert Waters, Put King, Bob Casey and Dick Tyson also sang for Mr. Gilliam's very ac- complished club. The glee club has always been a great source of entertainment for the school and the fellows in our class that performed in the club should be congratulated. Then, finally, that important night arrived. The night in which our prefects and other of ficers would be tapped. We all had ideas as to who the prefects might be, but none of us were really sure. Anxiously, we and the rest of the student body crowded into the chapel. After a short service, Fr. Patterson stood up to speak and the chapel became quiet. Fr. Pat. announced that he was creating a new and important job that year. The job was Library Proctor. This job was needed because of the building of the new enlarged library. Fr. Patterson then announced that the holder of this post would be Bert Waters. The Rector then announced that the post of Din- Willy - you ol' lover you. 1q, You can do it, Rusty! ing Hall Steward, so important to the smooth run- ning of the school, was to be held by Bob Reed. Both Bobby and Bert received loud applause and cheers. Then Bob Lawrence was asked to tap his successor as Editor-in-Chief.of the Kent News. Bob wandered around the congregation, and at last tapped the man. Dave Clapp ran to the front of the chapel to assume his seat. Then Hal Pa- chios went into the nave to indicate his succes- sor. Peter Schmitt was to take over Hal's Verger post. Murray Baldwin then tapped Denis Da- mour. Denny was to succeed Murray as Sacristan of St. Joseph's chapel. At last came the tapping of the prefects. Bill Howard was the first man to tap his successor. Amid cheers, Charlie Appleton came to the front of the chapel.'Then Jack Maresca went into the nave to find his successor. After a short search, Jack tapped Charlie Brainard. Tarry Putnam then walked to the back of the chapel, and a few seconds later Rusty Wing ran to the front of the chapel. Well, the moment was finally here. We were to find out who our senior prefect was to be. Bill Ince, ,55's head man, slowly went to the rear part of the chapel. Finally, after it had seemed that Bill in fact c0uldn't find his succes- sor, the outgoing senior prefect grabbed the new senior prefect. Dick Baiter was to lead our class and the school for the following year. And so we were to be lead by Baiter, Ap- pleton, Brainard and Wing. Damour, Schmitt, Clapp, Recd and Waters were to be the leaders in special segments of school life. Ah A week later we elected George Beard our sixth form council member. Dick Alford was picked to edit our yearbook. Jack Detwiler and Terry Johnson were appointed kitchen heads. Frank Bates and Ned Hatfield were to be co-op store heads. The new Cauldron editor was to be Bill Weber. Foster Devereux was to handle the new job of Sports Building Head. L Now we knew all our officers, and we had confidence in them. We also had ideals that we were going to try to live up to as sixth formers. We knew that we had a tradition to uphold, and we knew that to succeed as a senior class, we must follow the principle that had been set by Fr. Sill. At last we were sixth formers. The year actually started for us on Sept. 9th in New York City. We had our form party that night. First we ate dinner at the Columbia Club, then we all went to see the show Damn Yankees . Follow- ing the show we returned to the Columbia Club for a meeting. The party then ended fofficlallyj, but many stalwarts of '56 continued the gaiety into the wee hours funofficiallyj. The Tiger says no! Sandy and B. J. - but where's Fos- ter and Rusty? 22 The next morning we returned to Kent to help indoctrinate the new boys. As each new boy would arrive, his sixth form sponsor would greet him and his parents, show them around the school, and answer any questions the boy or par- ents had. Early week also was the first chance that Mr. .lake McCandless, new football coach, had at the first team candidates. After one day under Jake, everyone knew that the term sack,,' when applied to football, was out of place at Kent. Fall term started quite smoothly. We all seemed to have the same things on our minds: studying and winning football and soccer games. Shortly after school began, we welcomed two new members to our form. They were Dave Jones, the English exchange student, and Tors- ten Nykopp, son of the Finnish ambassador. We soon found out that the Lime and Nick F inn were great guys. When the first indicator grades came out, we were shocked to find that our form had the lowest form average in school. Bert Waters was our top man, while Clark, Harris, Waring fmath- ematician extraordinairej and others were up there. Mention should be made of the fact that the new auditorium and library were finished. Both buildings were made possible by the Fiftieth An- niversary Thanksgiving Fund. They were needed additions to our school. Of equal importance was Ki, weekend which took place in early September. The set- up was something like this: In the valley fields and in the north fields, tents were set up. The one in the valley was large enough to seat liter- ally hudreds of people. Those tents in the north field contained kegs of that strange beverage called beer. Also, down in Macedonia Valley, there was a huge outdoor altar to be used for chapel on Sunday morning of the weekend. As was expected, hundreds of Kenf alumni and friends showed up. The idea of the weekend was to celebrate Kent's fiftieth anniversary. The guests enjoyed everything from a Fifty Year Picture Exhibitv in the Common Room to a dance in the Sports Building on Saturday night. The school had to hire nearby camps to house all the visitors. The weekend was a great success and when it was over, we knew that the fiftieth year had begun. Before we knew it, Mother's Weekend was on us. The football team hadn't lost a game yet, Picnic on Chapel Hill. and the soccer team was sporting the best record in the history of that sport. The gridders' vic- tims over that weekend were the Green of Berk- shire. I guess we won't forget how rainy that weekend was. We thought that a flood proximat- ing in size the one that had struck Kent that summer might be about to begin. Our Fall dance was quite successful. The football team beat Williston, and the girls seemed to have a good time dancing in the Bere- zowsky-decorated gymn. E V e r y t h i n g went smoothly, thanks to Mr. Howard and Bob Casey Have a glass of water, fellas! fdance chairmanj. Oh, by the way, the weather was even good. fScotty and Fong, however, thought that nothing was goodl. The team kept on rolling, and so did the football team. After six straight victories, the team had only one game left with Loomis. All week long before that game the entire school, led by cheerleader Leigh Faldi, worked itself in- to a state of enthusiasm and frenzy. Rallies took place on Wednesday and Thursday. Friday found the school keyed up to a fever pitch. On Satur- day morning it was evident that there was going , to be a huge crowd on hand for the game. People were nervous right up to the moment of the opening kickoff, but from that moment on, no one worried. We walked all over Loomis. The latter played hard, but we werejust too much for them. The 'final score: Kent 47, Loomis 0. The coveted Loomis spoonn was ours. Where's that waiter? Of course, enough credit simply can't be given to Coach Jake McCandless, who took a foundation team and turned it into an undefeated single wing team. Jake was backed up by Chet Brown, who kept the linemen hustling, and by Benny Mattoon, who kept the ends busy and op- timistic by means of his famous saying nothing's definite yet. Also deserving of credit are the guys who played on the team. I ack Detwiler, the captain, was backed up by lightning Bobby Reed and the amazing Sullivan brothers in the backfield. Tuffy Stowe and Mac Hicks played the ends, while Bert Waters and Bob Adamson played tackle. Scotty Wakefield flater named all- prep, and Tuck Hicks covered the guard slots. Over the ball it was Bart Bates. Mike Tooman and Horkey Hegeler both started on defense, while Baiter, Borland, Schoel, Appleton, Marsh and Alford saw a lot of action. The rest of the squad worked hard all season long, and got to play in the majority of the games. The soccer team also closed with a great record. Charlie Brainard's boys fcoached by Mr. deVillafrancaJ posted a 4-2-2-record, the best in the history of Kent soccer. Ned Hatfield got the Winlaw Trophy. Thus, with the rumors of Bobby, Swampy and Bennett Jr. flying, the events of the fall term came to a close. We enjoyed the longer Thanksgiving vacation on record because the now famed Kent Seminar on the Christian Idea of Education was being carried on at school. Some of the most famed educators and theolo- gians of the world were in attendance. 6 ball in the corner. ....,, s 'f mv' I don't go out with girls anymore. . . Winter term, as usual, had much in store for us. Our guys had key positions on all sports teams. Appleton, Alford and Bates started on the hockey team, while Schmitt, Holmes, Stowe, Brainard, Wakefield and Tyson were also on the squad. Mac Hicks, Zooch', Devereux, and Rusty Wing started on the basketball team. Chuck Mills started most of the games, while J ack Det- wiler saw a lot of action. Bill Weber, Dave Clapp and George Beard rounded out our contributions to the team. Neddy Hatfield and Bob Adamson wrestled first team, while Ross Williams led the seconds. Stories will go on forever about that winter term. Some of them will undoubtedly be true. At any rate, rumors of missing trucks and the like are still flying. The weather was bad enough that term to make the form pretty restless. The hockey and wrestling teams were the ones to watch. Wrestling went undefeated, actu- ally trampling all their opponents. The teams only wish was that they could have wrestled the Williams Frosh fa match with them was cancel- led.J The hockey team also did well. After losing a couple of heartbreakers at the Lawrenceville Tournament, the team went on to post an im- pressive 14--2-1 record. One of the best records in a long time. Winter term brought a very welcome visitor to Kent. He was Mr. Alan Paton, the noted author. Mr. Paton became a friend of each sixth former, and in fact, of every Kent student. At the end of the term, the Kent School Fiftieth Anniversary Service was held in the Ca- thedral of St. John the Divine in New York City. The whole school attended. It was at the end of winter term that the second Cauldron came out. Bill Weber was the Cauldron's editor, and Web was backed up hy Pete Waring, Denny Damour, John Marsh and Al Stowe. We were all happy to see that Bill and his staff had made the Cauldron into a really good magazine. The school had the writers, while Bill and his men had the initiative and will to work. The results: a first rate Cauldron. Sing it, discords! This brought the events of Winter Term to a close, with the exception of a few incidents. One of these is the day that ,56 blocked both doors of the chapel with snow. The other is a rather bloody snowball fight held on the same day with the fifth form. Spring vacation began, and the southern route again was filled by '56'ers. Dave Clapp, Charlie Appleton and Rusty Wing comprised one group. Bob Casey, Ned Hatfield, Dick Tyson and Jay Banker formed another crew, Bert Waters, George Houston and Denny Damour a third, Who's that chunk, 3rd from the right? Mac Hicks, Max Borland, Bob Adamson, Scotty Wakefield and John Marsh a fourth. Foster Devereux went down thar a little later in the vacation. Naturally, all groups had tales to tell. Our last term at Kent finally started. It didn't seem possible, yet here it was. Cold weather marked this last term. It seemed as though spring would never really come. Members of our class began to get into col- leges, and on the whole, we did pretty well. We had really had the proximity of college brought home to us the month before, when we took college boards. They were rough! Stag line. . . Step right up and win a priz Howgate's bar and grill. Ya' got that, Tucker? Leigh Faldi coxed the crew which had Stowe, Bates, Marsh, Mills, King and Waters on it from our class. Tuck Hicks, brother Mac, Jack Det- wiler, Baiter, Appleton and Wakefield played first baseball. Devereux, Wing and Alford rep- resented us on the tennis team. The crew had a rough first race, but went on to a fine crew. They wiped out most of their remaining opposition. We were proud that our crew was a good crew. Baseball and tennis both did moderately well. Spring dance weekend was a great success. We had nice dates, and they had good times. It was a leisurely weekend. Everyone just seemed to relax. Dick Voigt's QKent '53j band was great, even though Dick eouldn't make it himself. Chronologically, that was about the last event of interest during spring term. However, there are a few odds and ends that we won't forget for a long time. How about the infamous Marsh started, Clapp organized, and Stowe ledw 'holiday' affair. Or the night Voigots showed up with his chosen six? Both are fine memories. Then came the night when our form tapped their successors in the chapel. Our leaders' tasks were through. We thought that they had done a darned good job. As far as we were concerned, only exams stood between us and graduation. A sometimes long and some times short five years was coming to a close. Our careers at Kent were soon to be finished. Before we knew it exams had flown by and that day of days, June lst, was upon us. The long awaited Prize Day dawned bright and warm but by the end of the afternoon a summer thun- derstorm interrupted the exercises. The night before we had enjoyed the final presentation of the Dramatic Club entitled See How They Run. But today everybody was thinking of the future, not the past. . . . our crew was a good crew.

After this was over we returned to our rooms to finish up that last bit of packing or try to find that last green sock. Most of us had been keeping our white bucks clean and ducks pressed but there were a few who had to beg, borrow, or steal the graduation uniform. The many alumni and guests began to flow into the school and the campus took on a carnival flavor. Our last meal was a buffet lun- cheon served graciously by fifth formers but most of the '56'ers were too excited to eat much. At last we began to gather for the proces- sion and when we saw all our formmates in ducks and blazers it made quite an impression. The seniors walked down the lawn amid the ap- What more can be said? of us. 1 N plause of the school and the guests while the masters and alumni followed in pairs. We stood as Fr. West delivered a short prayer followed by Dick's welcome, his last official function as our senior prefect. Bishop Stephen Bayne gave the main address telling us what the future de- mands of us and how we must face up to it. It was short and effective. The trophies were then given out with Bobby getting Pater's Mug, Bob Waring receiving the Columbia Cup and Bert re- ceiving the Headmaster's Cup. By this time the overcast skies had forced us to retreat to the There's a little M.T. in all From top to bottom: Mac, Magee, and Al.

Most of the form drove off to attend the form party at Brillo's house. An account of the party would necessitate a much longer year book and so a few words will have to do. Other classes may duplicate our academic or athletic records but no class will ever duplicate that party. The nightly routine: bridge and butts.

Congratulations Bob and Boh RINKY-TINK Long will Rinky-Tink be remembered for his valiant efforts to lead the class of '56 throughout Kent's Fiftieth Year.

Since that time, he has become a com- petent athlete, a conscientious student, and a wonder- ful guy. Recently, his daily reports on activity at the Medical Center have proven invaluable to all. Keep up the good work Max, and the best of luck from '56.

Such a contact proved invaluable to the form, for, as the closest student to the school scene, he undertook the secretarial work of form parties, and became dance chairman by unanimous approval. To his class he will always be a valued friend, especially remembered by the cry Let's go to Bob's house. CHAPPY Monroe, who joined us as a third former, hails from Hartford, Conn. Through his four years of drud- gery, Monroe has been seen tuning in his radio with Teddy Drat or thinking how to help Tombo get better reception on Natty Bumpo's aerial. It's off to M. I.

It isn't often that Art gets to breakfast on time, but when he does it's with a burst of good cheer. Known as Uncle Art to the boys on his hallway, he has made a name at Kent by show- ing forth his ability as head of the clothing drive. We'll all miss that great guy who took the shirts off our backs for the cause. LEOPARD Known about the campus as the Peorian Crusher or the Manhattan Creeper, The Lep has favored us with his continental knowledge for five long years. Best known for his close relations with B. Altman's and Rye, N. Y. he has been known to say that the only thing these two paradises lacked was a good brand of spot remover.

Opt of the machine lept Drat, cos- mopolitan elite, straight from the Communist-infested jungles of Malaga. The first thing he asked for in his grating Down-Under twang was a cup of tea. Ted has always managed to get through with no work, sur- rounded with T.V. sets, radios, hot-plates, Hi-Fi sets, and a mass of tangled non-insulated wire. Oh well, it will all be legal at M.I.T.

Nevertheless, he is the only member who succeeded in inviting his own date for the class of '55's Senior Prom last Spring. Arriving at the dance with a broken camera and a bag of flash bulbs ap- propriated for the occasion, he posed as official cam- eraman for UP funder-privilegedl. Oh, many were the innovations that this budding young man has accom- plished: the use of Study Hall V, second form respon- sibility, and exploding doorknobs to name but a few. mu- DICK Dick has oftentimes been heard swearing over his math book. This determination has been with him at all times and has paid off For Morning has won many friends among both sexes. Besides his uncanny abilty to escape Charles Otten while studying late, Dick had had many tales to relate from his Bridgeport adven- tures. Also it is an accepted fact that there is nothing as unshakeable as his loyality to Mime. Here's a toast to Morning! PARVIS Ned came across the bridge in the fall of '51 mumbling something about beautiful Spanish eyes. Since that time he has been seen busy on the soccer field and in the co-op stores, not to mention being captain of the first undefeated wrestling team in 12 years. Famed for his resemblance to Howdy Doody, Ned will be remembered by all for his stick-to-itive- ness and initiative.

MUNGY Mac Hicks rose from a grubby second former to a mungy sixth former in 5 short years, loving every moment of time.

TUCK Since coming to Kent as a second former, Tuck has made quite a reputation for himself, both athleti- cally and academically. Tuck, with the help of his brother Mac, has put Doyelstown, Pa., on the map to stay. One thing that can be said about Tuck is that he really likes Kent. He likes it so much that he has re- mained at school even during vacations. Not many in the history of the school have shown so much devo- tion. JOHN Here's another member of the happy gang from Bronxville. An enthusiastic member of the football, tennis, and hockey teams, in the spring he is only too ready to forsake the racquet for a golf club. In Public Speaking he was a well-known figure for his forceful arguments, only to lose to Westover in his major de- bate. Also he is known throughout the select circles as president of the Kent-Vassar-Bennett Trucking Cor- poration, busted in late March for illegal practices. JOHN PHARR HOLMES JR.

It's 'Honeybear' known for his fierceness and lively sense of humor. A severe attack of appendicitis overtook him in the middle of his sixth form year though, and since then 'Honey- bear' has only been seen pushing racks through the dishwasher, eating his weekly supply of honey, or painting the 2nd crew megaphone. LIME After less than a month in this country the Lime had managed to meet at least one girl in every college in New England and in a month and one-half had two girls in the same house at Smith. The rest of the year he sat in his hideout in the Club Norge trying to think of plans for leaving the Happy Valley for a weekend. Each Wednesday night Dave could be found expres- sing his views on the Public Speaking Society, and in the Spring he might he found rowing four on the se- cond crew.

He has done an excellent job in the many stage productions this year and also as chairman of the bellringers. He will long be remembered by '56 for his willingness to help others and as a very likeable guy. CHUCK Whether it is strumming on the old banjo or fil- ling out numerous college applications, Upster will be remembered around the Kent Halls for his friend- liness towards all. In the fall, he kicked the old pig- skin and in the early spring, he could be found pul- ling a big oar for the Crew. CHARLES EDWARD MILLS JR.

Always a popular guy, Al often came up with worth while suggestions in form meetings, tif he made them in timej. BOBBY Bobby, as his many girls from Northfield call him, became the popular inmate of the infirmary after a triumphant gridiron season. From this vantage, Bobby mocked those unfortunates still attending classes and spent most of his spare time adding twenty pounds to his frame.

TIPON Concord, Mass. is not known to Kenties as the starting place of the Revolutionary War. Rather it is known as the stopover place for Dick when he isn't out West, in the Sands Hotel of Fort Lauderdale, or at Kent.

X 4 ' 'C M 'l an t SCOTT WAKEFIELD JACK SULLIVAN 2 I I S n S E The first football team achieved one of the best records in recent years as they compiled a'record of seven victories as against no defeats. Captained by Jack Detwiler and coached by jake', lVIcCandless, Benny', Mattoon and Chet Brown, the squad showed superior sportsmanship on the field and tremendous spirit in pratice. Combined with the spirit of the school, these three factors were the main at- tributes to Kent's outstanding gridiron success. About sixty boys returned the day before Early Week began in the fall. Sunday afternoon the first practice was held, and the boys soon realized that they had to work if they wanted to stick on the team. The coaches too had their work cut out for them because of the indoctrination of the single wing formation. Everyone had to forget last year's pat- terns and learn the fundamentals of the single wing. In about a week or so, the squad began to shape up. The backfield was bolstered by two brothers who were new to Kent this fall, Jack and Jerry Sullivan. Along with Bob Dick Alford scores third-period touchdown in opening game against Trinity-Pawling. Choate quarterback rushed by bard-charg- ing Kent forward wall. Defensive end Bob Schoel makes tackle as Hicks, Wakefield. and Waters close in. as Reed and Captain Jack Detwiler, these four boys were soon to form the starting backfield for the season. Offensivelygi the ends were soon to be Mac Hicks, a letterwinner from last year, and Al Stowe. Bert Waters and Bob Adamson nailed down the tackle positions, while Tuck Hicks and Scott Wakefield secured the guard slots. Frank Bates rounded out the starting eleven at center. TRINITY-PAWLING On October first. the opening game of the season was played at Kent against Trinity-Pawling. Early in the first period, Jerry Sullivan's thirty-four yard dash through the center of the line accounted for Kent's first score and he then booted the extra point. Bob Reed tallied early in the next quarter on an eighteen yard reverse to put the Blue and Cray ahead 13 - 0 at halftime. In the third quarter, Jack Sullivan threw two touchdown passes, one to Dick Alford and the other to Bobby Reed. Jerry Sullivan converted once Williston would-be tacklers reach for high-jumping Jack Sullivan. Bobby Reed outruns T. P. de- fender for touchdown. Buzz Sullivan scores only touch- down in Choate game. ,P-we-u.,.,,w.,., ,,, ku, V, .v.v,...-f - to put Kent ahead 26 - 0. The final seven points of the game came when Dick Baiter carried the ball twenty-three yards to paydirt and Sullivan again converted to give the Blue and Gray a 33 - 0 victory. CHOATE During the following week, the squad practiced hard because they knew that the Choate game at Wallingford was going to be one of the toughest of the season. Saturday turned out to be a dismal day for a football game as it was raining continually. The rain let up in the final quarter of the game. The rain was not able to stop the Blue and Gray but penalties almost did. Neither team was able to make a sustained paydirt march in the first quarter and as a result, the scoreboard showed the score as 0 - 0 as the first quarter ended. In the second period of the game, .lack Sullivan fired an eleven yard pass to Bob Reed who scampered into the endzone, only to have a fifteen yard penalty nullify the well-executed play. Soon after the second half began, Scott Wakefield blocked a Choate punt which Kent recovered on their opponent's thirty-four yard line. After the ball was worked down to the eight yard line, Jerry Sullivan crashed over center for the only score of the day and a 6 - 0 victory. Neither team presented much of a scoring threat in the last quarter, but Bob Reed broke up a possible drive as he inter- cepted a pass. Throughout the game, Kent was penalized one hundred-forty-five yards. BERKSHIRE The Mothers' Weekend game with Berkshire was Kent's next encounter of the season. Because of weather conditions, the game was played on Sunday even though it was still raining. Mr. Nadal and Mr. Humphreys refereed the first half of the game because the regular officials did not show up until halftime. Kent took a 6 - 0 lead on a long pass from .lack Sullivan to speedy Bob Reed in the first quarter. Jerry Sullivan tallied another touchdown on the Wedge play and a short pass to Charlie Appleton accounted for the extra point as the Blue and Gray increased their lead to 13 - 0. In the last half, Bob Reed scored two more touchdowns, one on ' a thirty-three yard reverse and the other on a fifteen yard pass from quarterback Jack Detwiler. Jerry Sullivan made two conversions good and gave Kent their third straight vic- tory, 27 - 0. Bruce Tarbox fights through mud and Taft defenders for six points.

WILLISTON The Dance Weekend game was with Williston Academy. The first three quarters of the game were scoreless, but both teams threatened to break the deadlock. Early in the last quarter though, ,lack Sullivan tallied from the twenty-seven yard line to give the Blue and Cray a 6 - 0 lead. Two min- utes later, an intercepted pass and a long run by Jack Sul- livan set up Bruce Tarbox's plunge to paydirt from four yards out. Jerry Sullivan's conversion was good to put Kent out in front 13 - 0. Another two minutes elapsed before Jack Sullivan scored from the five, and his brother Jerry again converted to boost the Blue and Gray ahead 20 - 0 As if that was not enough, Dick Baiter made the score 27 - 0 as he tal- lied from the six yard line with two minutes remaining, and Sullivan's extra point attempt was good. Williston scored in the last minute of the game, but Kent still won 27 - 7. HOTCHKISS In the most exciting game of the year, Kent had to come from behind twice to down Hotchkiss 33 - 21 at Lake- ville. Jack Sullivan tallied-the first touchdown on a twenty- three yard dash around right end and his big brother Jerry converted. Bob Reed then scored on a tricky thirty yard Statue-of-Liberty handoff to give the Blue and Gray a 13 - 0 halftime lead. Hotchkiss then went ahead 14 - 13 on two quick scores in the third period. Bobby Reed then put Kent ahead again on another Statue-of-Liberty handoff, this time from sixty- two yards out and the conversion by Jerry Sullivan was good. Hotchkiss then retaliated to take the lead once again 21 - 20 as the third period ended. Early in the fourth quar- ter, .lack Sullivan gave the Blue and Cray a 26 - 21 lead and his brother's conversion upped the lead to 27 - 21. Jack's tally came on a thirty-seven yard punt return. Late in the last quarter, a pass from Jack Sullivan to Bob Reed account- ed for Kent's final score of the day to give the Blue and Cray their fifth straight victory. . , 4 .ws-e gf., f s TAFT On November fifth, the football team journeyed to Watertown to play a weak Taft squad on a muddy field. The first period was scoreless, but early in the next quarter, Jerry Sullivan tallied on a wedge play from nine yards out. Bruce Tarbox followed suit for Kent as he scored from the twenty- four yard line as he ploughed through the center of the Taft defenders. Jerry Sullivan booted the extra point to give Kent a 13 - 0 lead at half time. As the third period ended. Taft was able to get the hall into Kent territory for the first time since the beginning of the first quarter. In the final period, Bob Reed tallied his ninth touchdown of the year on a snap- py twenty-seven yard reverse play. Three minutes later, Dick Baiter scooted around his right end and into paydirt. Jerry Sullivan's two extra point attempts were good as the Blue and Gray increased their lead to 27 - 0. Taft struck back for their only score of the game with less than a minute remain- ing, but the final score was 27 - 6.

LOOMIS The last game of the season was against Loomis on Kentis Alumni Field and nothing could go wrong for the Blue and Gray that day. Scoring in every quarter of the game, Kent routed Loomis 47 - 0 to retain possession of the coveted Silver Spoon trophy for the third straight year. In the first quarter, Jack Sullivan threw two touchdown passes, one to Bob Reed which was good for fifteen yards and another to Mac Hicks which provided Kent with a 13 - 0 lead. .lack Sullivan threw another pass to Bob Reed for another six points, and tallied one himself to give the Blue and Gray a 26 - 0 halftime lead. Sullivan brothers click again as Buzz leads Jack through big hole in Williston line for another six points. Bobby Reed outraces Loom- is defenders to score his third touchdown of the game. Capt.

Bolstered by the return of nine lettermen, among them cap- tain Charles Brainard, Ned Hatfield. Leigh Faldi, Paul White, Drax Williams, Pete Kuhn, Bill Estabrook, Jerry Turnbull and Sandy Allen, forty boys reported for Early Week practice. After cutting the squad down to a workable number of twenty-six boys, Coach deVillafranca began to polish his team for their scrimmage with Viewpoint School which turned out to be a five period affair. Both squads benefited from the play as they both improved throughout the game. CHOATE The first game of the season was played against a good Choate squad at Wallingford. In the first period, both teams drove deep into each otheris territory but were unable to score. Leigh Faldi made many outstanding saves as goalie which thwarted many of Choate's offensive drives. When Kent was on the offensive, Charlie Brainard spearheaded the attack, but neither team was able to score and the game ended in a scoreless deadlock. The starting lineup was pretty well set after the Choate encounter with Bill Estabrook and Charlie Brainard at the wing positions, Drax Williams and Jerry Fryberger at the in- side position, Sandy Allen at center, Paul White, Ned Hat- field, and Pete Murray as halfbacks, Jerry Turnbull and Ted Dartford at the fullback slots, and Leigh Faldi as goalie. HOTCHKISS On Wednesday, October fifth, the Blue and Gray were defeated by a strong Hotchkiss eleven 2 - 1. Both teams played well in the first period, with the Bearcats of Hotch- kiss breaking thtough for the first goal of the afternoon on a twenty-yard kick from the right side of the penalty area. Both teams scored in the second period as Drax Williams tallied for Kent on a penalty shot.The opponents quickly went ahead again on a well-placed kick from fifteen feet out. The Blue and Gray were superior on offense in the last per- iod but were unable to score. LOOMIS A week later, the booters journeyed to Windsor to play a superior Loomis eleven and were defeated 3 - 1. Loomis netted two goals in the first period while the Blue and Gray,s lone goal came in the second period as Bob Fryber- ger scored on a pass from in front of the cage to make the final score 3 - 1. BERKSHIRE The team's first victory of the season was a whipping of 5 - 2 of Berkshire. Drax Williams and Bill Estabrook tallied Kent's first two goals of the afternoon in the first period, Berkshire then scored, but Pete Kuhn came through in the third period to put Kent ahead 3 - 1. Bob Pagano netted Kent's fourth goal as he rifled one past the goalie from twenty feet out, and then Drax Williams closed the Kent scoring on a beautiful shot from in front of the net. Berk- shire was finally able to get their second tally of the day with less than two minutes remaining in the game to give Kent a well-earned 5 - 2 victory. CANTERBURY Kent's game with Taft was rained out and rescheduled at a later date. Thus the next game was at New Milford against Canterbury. They jumped to a 1 - 0 lead, but Sandy Allen quickly knotted the score early in the second period. Charlie Brainard and Bill Estabrook were quick to follow suit to give Kent a 3 - 1 lead. Sandy Allen tallied his second goal of the game to give the Blue and Gray their final mar- gin of victory.

Suffield wasted no time in scoring their only goal of the game in the first per- iod as a corner kick finally got past the Blue and Gray goalie after some scrambling in front of the cage. The second per- iod was scoreless as both teams could show no signs of mus- tering up a scoring drive. Kent kept the ball in Suffield ter- ritory for the majority of the third period. and when Bill Estabrook was pushed from behind. Drax Willianls, Kent's left inside made the shot good to knot the score. The in- spired Blue and Gray team continued to dominate the play throughout the remainder of the game. but were unable to break the deadlock. This Suffield team had earlier beaten Loomis. who previously downed Kent 3 - 1. TRINITY-PAWLING The soccer teamfs next victim was Trinity-Pawling. Drax Williams was the first to score early in the opening period on a shot from the side. Bill Estabrook followed suit on a shot from the left side of the goal to give Kent a 2 - O lead. Jerry Fryberger broke through the Trinity-Pawling defense in the second period to tally on a fast driving shot up the center. The opponents finally scored, but the Blue and Gray went ahead 4- - l as Sandy Allen dribbled the ball up the Esta-:brook boots one from the corn r l.apla1n4.llarllc Brainaid and Lapl.-elt-vt Drax Wil- liams close in on Choate goalie in second period. middle and into the T.-P. nets. Drax W'illiams tallied the final goal of the day in the fourth quarter to give his squad a 5 - l win. TAFT After two postponements, the Blue and Gray finally en- countered Taft on the pond field which was extremely mud- dy. Both teams played well in the first period despite the conditions of the field. ln the middle of 'the period, Dick Tinker scored the only goal of the game on a well-placed shot from about fifteen feet in front of the cage. Throughout the remainder of the game. both teams remained evenly matched, but neither team had the scoring punch that was needed. Leigh Faldi was instrumental in the win as he made many excellent saves at goalie. This l - 0 victory gave Kent its first winning season in Kent soccer history. At the annual soccer banquet in the small dining room, Drax Williams was elected to captain of next year's squad, succeeding Charlie Brainard. Preceding the election of cap- tain, Father Patterson congratulated the team on their good record stating that even though soccer may never rise to the heights that football has at Kent. it has established itself as an important Kent sport.

Mr. deVillafranca congratulated his team on a job well done and proceeded to award the Winlaw Trophy to Ned Hatfield. This trophy is awarded annually to the player on the team, other than the captain, who shows the most aggressive play and team spirit throughout the season. The coach said that even though he was sorry to lose the members of the sixth form who were on the team, he still hoped to have as good a season next year because of the great number of returning lettermen. Sandy Allen bounces ball off his head in Berkshire Fryberger and Allen dribble ball into opponenfs territory in an attempt to score.

Gunnery Hotchkiss Pete Murrav The 1956 hockey team achieved one of the best records in recent Kent School history as they won fourteen games, lost two,and tied one. The two losses were administered by Lawrenceville and Taft and the tie was with St. Paul's. Mr. Nadal's charges, led by Captain Charlie Appleton, practiced for two weeks before the opening of the Lawrenceville Tour- nament at the beginning of Christmas vacation. The starting lineup for the year was settled by the opening game with St. Paul's. Captain Charlie Appleton was center, the two wings were Bob and Jerry Fryberger, the defensemen were Frank Bates and Pete Murray, and the goalie was Dick Al- ford. All but Murray were members of the starting sextet from the previous season. The opening game of the Lawrenceville Tournament was against St. Paul's. After the Blue and Gary's opponents took a one goal lead, Charlie Appleton sent the game into overtime as he scored early in the third period. After two five minute sudden-death periods, a coin was flipped to de- termine the winner and St. Paul's was the victor. Special credit goes to Dick Alford, the Kent goalie, who made a total of thirty-five saves in the game. Two hours later, a tired Kent sextet was defeated by Lawrenceville 2 - 0, but in the final game of the tournament, the Blue and Gray pucksters overcame New Hampton 2 - 1. Charlie Appleton and Bob Fryberger provided the winning margin for Kent. BERKSHIRE After the Christmas holidays, the Kent squad began their regular season as they journeyed to Sheffield, Mass. to play Berkshire.

SOUTH KENT Three days later, South Kent was defeated by the same score of 3 - 1 as Bob Fryberger netted two goals and Apple- ton one. The next two encounters were breezes for the Kent ipuckters as they swept by W6SlllliHSl6Y in their first league game 9 - 0, and then romped over Hotchkiss 8 - 1 for their second league win. CHOATE ln one of the closest games of the year, the Kent hoc- key squad managed to halt a late Choate attack to defeat the latter on their own rink. Bob Fryberger put Kent ahead 1 - 0 early in the second period on a pass from Appleton. and the same duo tallied in the third period for a 2 - 0 lead. Choate rebounded with a goal of their own, but were unable to knot the score thanks to the sparkling play of the Kent defense- men, Pete Murray and Frank Bates.

Taft built up a 2 - 0 lead before Kent scored their only goal of the game when Jerry Fryberger tallied assisted by Charlie Appleton late in the second period. The winners went on to net three more goals in the final period to hand the Blue and Gray their initial loss of the regular season and their first league loss. SOUTH KENT South Kent was then downed by Kent 5 - 0 to close out the league competition for the team. Pete Murray and Frank Bates each scored a goal in the first period to put Kent ahead 2 - 0. Appleton, J. Fryberger, and Schmitt finished the day's scoring. YALE ln a special ceremony, the new artificial hockey rink was dedicated on Feb. 12 and given the name Pater's Rink. Both Father Patterson and Mr. Nadal made speeches thank- ing the donors, and after this, an exhibition by the Yale Un- iversity hockey team and the Kent team took place. Even though the two teams swapped defensemen, the combination of the Yale forward line and the Kent defense prevailed for a 5 - 2 victory. LOOMIS The Blue and Gray were then host to an inexperienced Loomis sextet, and they sent the visitors down to a 9 - 1 de- feat. In the first game ever played under the lights on Pater's Rink, Trinity-Pawling was routed 7 - 1. The final two games of the season saw the Blue and Gray defeat both Gunnery and Hotchkiss. The Gunnery game was won 6 - 1, and Kent built up an early 4- - 0 lead before Gun- nery was able to slap the puck home. Two more goals by the Blue and Gray were scored in the final period to provide Kent with their final margin of victory. A E Q HOTCHKISS 110 The last game of the season was a close contest all the way as Kent took an early 2 - 0 lead in the first period and then had to hold on throughout the remainder of the game as a greatly improved Hotchkiss sextet continually threatened to score, but the Kent defense was able to hold them score- less. The two goals of the game were scored by Charlie Ap- pleton. Thus ended one of the most successful seasons in re- cent years at Kent. The high scorers for the year were Bob and Jerry Fry- berger who compiled forty-five and thirty-three points, res- pectively. Charlie Appleton was third with twenty-five points to his credit. The two defensemen, Frank Bates and Pete Murray followed with ten and seven points, respectively. This accounted for the majority of the team,s points through- out the season.

Two of the four defeats came at the hands of their traditional rivals, Taft. In the first en- counter of the year, Taft soundly trounced the second team pucksters, with .lay Banker procuring the only goal for Kent in the 7 - 1 loss. On January 21st, the Blue and Gray were again defeated, this time by Choate 2 - 0. Excellent work by the Kent goalie Tom Humphreys kept the scoring down to a minimum. On February first, Dick Tinker netted two goals and Denis Damour tallied one as the seconds beat Berkshire 3 - 0. The won-lost record was evened at 2 - 2 as the New Haven Pee Wees were trounced 6 - 0 four days later. Two goals by Tinker and one each by Pete Brainard, Herrick, Baptiste and Baiter accounted for the win. Bert Waters faces off with Gunnery man.

' n FIRST BASKETBALL The first basketball team had a mediocre season as they won only four of their fourteen games this year. However, the prospects for the coming season look good. The quintet was coached by Mr. de Villafranca and by the first game, he had Mac Hicks, Foster Devereux, J ack Sullivan, Rusty Wing and Bill Weber as the starting nucleus. CANTERBURY On January 7th, a slow starting Canterbury five re- bounded from an eight point deficit at half time to hand the Blue and Gray hoopsters their initial defeat of the season by a convincing 58 - 43 score. Wentworth, the victors' captain, paced his team's attack with nineteen points, while Mac Hicks and .lack Sullivan led the losers with ten points apiece. By half time, Kent led 31 - 18, but Canterbury took a 39 - 37 lead at the end of the third quarter, and went on to win easily. WESTMINSTER Westminster handed Kent the second loss of this year's campaign in a non-league game 47-37 on the victor's court. Serrailes and Pettee led the winners with fifteen and four- teen points respectively, while Rusty Wing netted nine points for the Blue and Gray. Westminster jumped to a quarter lead of 9-5 and increased their lead to 24-10 at the half. Kent began to narrow down the opponents advantage, but were unable to overcome the deficit. THE GUNNERY .lourneying to Washington, Conn., the first basketball squad dropped their third game, this time to a fast moving Gunnery quintet. Braman led the victors with twenty-five points and I ack Sullivan paced the Kent attack with sixteen points. The first quarter was close as Gunnery took a 12-11 lead, but at half time, they led 32-21. The home squad con- tinued to pour in the points in the last half as they led 45-27 at the end of the third quarter and 59-37 at the game's end. Kent warms up before 52 - 50 win over Canterbury. LOOMIS In their second non-league game, the Kent quintet was soundly trounced by Loomis 74-42. .lack Sullivan netted eleven points in a losing cause on the winners' court. The score was 15-7 at the end of the first quarter, and 41-23 at intermission. Loomis kept on netting the points as the score went to 58-34 and finally 74-42 at the close of the game. CANTERBURY Playing Canterbury for the second time, the Blue and Gray hoopsters had to come from behind to nip the Can- tabs in overtime 52-50. This was their first Tri-State League win. Foster Devereux and Sullivan tallied eighteen and se- venteen points respectively for the victors, but were again over-shadowed by Wentworth's twenty-six point performance. Mac Hicks jumps high to net two more points.

With seventeen seconds left in the tilt, Canterbury led 48-45, but Jack, Sul- livan drove up the center for a quick basket. He was fouled on the shot and sank the free throw thus sending the game into overtime. Foster Devereux then put Kent ahead 50-48 only to have the score knotted again at 50-50. .lack Sullivan then netted the final two points to give the Blue and Gray their final margin of victory. TAFT In one of the best played games of the year, Taft had to fight from being undefeated, but eventually wound up on the long end of a 61-49 count. Gaut had twenty-two points for the victorious Taft squad while J ack Sullivan and Rusty Wing had thirteen and ten points, respectively, for the Blue and Cray. The score at the end of the first quarter was 18-16 in Taft's favor, but at half time, the score was tied at 29-29. The Blue and Gray started to fade in the last half as the opponents led 49-39 and were never headed again through- out the remainder of the game. TRINITY-PAWLING Playing in Trinity-Pawling's bandbox gym, Kent drop- ped their fourth league game 59-35.

Chuck Mills and .lack Sullivan paced Kent with fourteen and twelve points respectively in the Taft game. Sullivan was the high man in the Trinity-Pawling game with eighteen points and against Hotchkiss with twenty-two points. The last two of the games were all close until the final quarter when the opposition stopped the Kent attack to go on to win. BERKSHIRE The final game of the season.was played against Berk- shire on their own court. Despite the former loss to the Berk- shire squad, Kent showed more fight than they had showed throughout the season as they were victorious 53-45. .lack Sullivan amassed the highest single game total of points this year as he netted twenty-six for the Blue and Gray. Kent got off to an early 19-10 first quarter lead and increased it to 34-14 at half time. Berkshire began to find their range in the final half as they steadily narrowed down the score, but Kent still led 42-36 at the close of the third quarter. In the last quarter, Kent outscored Berkshire by two points to make the final score 53-45. Thus the Blue and Gray hoopsters ended their season with a record of four wins and ten losses.

Af- ter the dinner, the squad watched Yale trim Dartmouth in a basketball game 75-67. Before the college game though, the team listened to three speakers after dinner. Mr. Nadal was the first speaker of the evening. He talked about the history of basketball at Kent, especially the years that pro- duced good teams. Mr. Maillet then talked about the second team statistics. His squad was also present at the banquet. Mr. de Villafranca, as the final speaker, expressed his hopes for a good season next year. The highlight of this yearis schedule, he said, was the 53-45 victory over Berkshire in the final game of the season. He then announced that Jack Sullivan was elected to captain next year's hoopsters. George Beard was awarded the Jordan Trophy which is given to the boy who has shown the most spirit on the squad. The coach emphasized that even though Beard played very little throughout the season, he never complained and worked hard. In the last game of the season, he proved his worth as he handled one of the guard positions expertly. The Jenkinson Memorial Trophy, which is given for proficiency in foul shooting, was awarded to Jack Sullivan. Jack netted forty-nine points on fouls, and a total of one hundred-ninety nine points for the season. Foster Devereux was next in the scoring column with one hundred and thirty- three points, and Chuck Mills was third with seventy-nine points. Rusty Wing had forty-five points to his credit. Letters were awarded to Richard Baker, George Beard, ,lack Detwiler, John Putnam, Jack Sullivan, Jerry Turnbull, Rusty Wing and manager Mac Lukens.

SECOND BASKETBALL This year, the Kent second basketball team, although not having a too impressive record 17 wins as against 5 los- sesj, did beat every team they encountered at least once dur- ing the season. The team worked well together, having a good reserve of depth and many experienced players. All the games they lost were very close matches all the way. This year's team was coached by William F. Maillet who ac- complished a commendable job in turning out a winning season. Sherb Merrill, the only senior on the squad, was the captain and eventually high scorer for the year. The twelve-game schedule was opened on a good note as the Kent seconds soundly trounced Canterbury 46-39. Sherb Merrill and Pete Fairchild were the high scorers for the game with ten points each for the victors, while Buzz Sullivan and Dave Williams each netted nine. The Blue and Gray continued their winning ways as they easily beat the Gunnery seconds 47-40. Kent's high scorer for this game was Dan Larsen with thirteen points. But the winning streak was snapped as the second hoopsters dropped four out of their next five games. The first loss of the season was sustained at the hands of Canterbury, who had earlier lost their first game of the season to the Blue and Gray. The lead changed hands many times, but finally the Canterbury quintet pulled the game out of the fire with a 40-36 verdict. Rob Wilkins paced Kent with fourteen points, while Buzz Sullivan was the gameis leading rebounder. Next, playing in the Kent gymnasium, the J. V.'s lost their second game of the year to Taft in the last twelve seconds 39-38. This was followed by a loss to Trinity-Pawling in the T.-P. gym. With the record now at two wins and three defeats, the Kent seconds lost another heartbreaker. This time Hotchkiss came from behind to win 44-40, with Sherb Merrill scoring thirteen points in a losing cause. Ned Hobbs outjumps Gunnery opponents to net two more points for the Blue and Gray seconds. The winning column was finally broken into again in fine style as Kent trounced the Berkshire seconds 54-40. Kent's left forward Ned Hobbs scored sixteen points as he led the team to victory. The last loss of the season for the Blue and Gray seconds was administered by Gunnery by the score of 58-51. Ned Hobbs again netted sixteen points for the Kent hoopsters, while Jerry Sullivan and Dave Williams excelled on the rebounding.

Their first victim in this final splurge was Taft, who was defeated 53-48. Next, the Kent hoopsters revenged their loss to Trinity-Pawling as they downed them 36-33. The game was marked by extremely good defensive play which accounted for the low scoring contest. After this, the Hotchkiss seconds were downed 51-37 as Kent guard Fred Stoner tallied sixteen points. The season ended very nicely as Berkshire was defeated. This time the score was 67-44. This last game, as in the first game of the season, saw the Fair- child-Merrill combination high in the scoring column with twenty and nineteen points respectively. Much credit must go to Coach Maillet who successfully molded the team into a fast quintet, gave it spirit, and in short, made it go. Captain Sherb Merrill not only led the team in scoring 1103 pointsl for the season but was ahead in both assists and steals. Dave Williams controlled the boards for the most rebounds offensively, while Ned Hobbs edged out Buzz Sullivan in the defensive rebounds department. Pete Fairchild stood out on the foul line making 76? of his shots. The team, during the entire season, scored a total of 557 points to its opponents' 509. Buzz Sullivan lays up another tally for the Kent seconds. At the annual basketball banquet, Captain Sherb Merrill was awarded his numerals, while Rob Wilkins, Pete Fair- child, Sherry Snyder, Russ Holmes, Lowell Johnston, Charles Canterbury, Bill Estabreok, Dan Larsen, George Coyne, and Fred Stoner all received their 2nd's.

'- r r -r 'mmimrr FIRSTCREW The first crew rowed to five victories and two defeats this year as they earned for themselves the honor of competing in the Henley Royal Regatta this summer on the Thames river in England. The prospects for the first boat returned to Kent a week early to begin conditioning for the rugged schedule which faced them in the coming weeks. Coach Tote', Walker, as usual, had the difficult problem of select- ing the eight oarsmen to represent the Blue and Gray colors, but it turned out that the seven returning lettermen from last year's second crew and Dick Reed formed the final boating. This year's captain, Leigh Faldi, who coxed the first crew last season, was the coxswain again this year. After practicing twice a day until school opened again in early April, the crew was getting into shape, and two weeks later, they journeyed to Derby, Connecticut, for their annual opening race with the'Yale 150-lb. Varsity. The boating for the race was as follows: bow - Putt King, 2 - Chuck Mills, 3 - Mike Tooman, 4 - Dick Reed, 5 - Frank Bates, 6 - Allen Stowe, 7 - .lohn Marsh, stroke - Bert Waters, and coxswain - Leigh Faldi. At Yale, the Kent firsts lined up at the stake boats at 3:45, and were in the inside lane, a quarter of a length he- hind their Yale adversaries. The Elis held their slim advan- tage 'til the quarter marker, when the Blue and Gray began to close the gap. At the halfway marker, Kent trailed by a deck length. The rough water began to have its effects on the visitors as Yale led by half a length at the three quarters, and finally by length and a quarter as they crossed the finish line irf 5:12. The Blue and Cray were clocked at 5:17. The following week, Kent was victorious as they swept to a two length victory over Lower Merion High School from Pennsylvania in the time of 4:43 on the Housatonic River here at Kent. Kent jumped their opponents by two positions in the racing start and lowered their beat to a thirty-four. The Blue and Gray led by three quarters ofa length at the quarter marker, and a length at the half. Bert Waters, the Kent stroke, lowered the beat to a thirty-three, while Lower Merion kept theirs at a thirty-five. Despite this, Kent led by a length and a half at the three quarter, and picked up another half length in the sprint to win the race going away Lower Merion's time was 4:51. Fathers' Weekend was the biggest event thus far in this season as the second freshman boats from Yale, Harvard and Princeton came to Kent to take part in a regatta with Kent During the course of the day, Harvard beat Yale, Kent beat Yale and Princeton defeated both Kent and Harvard to win the day's event. In the first race of the day, at 10 o'clock in the morning. Harvard easily downed Yale by one length. The times were 4:53 and 4:57. Kent encountered Yale fifteen minutes later in what proved to be the most exciting race of the day. Kent took a short lead in the racing start and dropped their beat to a high thirty-seven. By the quarter mile barrel, the Blue and Gray led by a quarter of a length and at the half by halfa length. Kent was still rowing a thirty-seven when Princeton began to make their bid for the lead. The Tiger boat rapidly closed the gap, and finally led by half a length going into the last quarter of the race. ln the sprint, Kent began to steadily close the gap between the two shells, and finished a scant five feet behind Princeton, whose time was 5:46. The Blue and Gray were clocked at 5:47. At four in the afternoon, Kent lined up against Yale Kent took a quick lead of a deck length at the start, and in- At the right, Kent is shown edging up on the Princeton second freshman boat in the regatta held at Kent Fathers' Weekend.

Rowing a thirty-four, Kent led by three quarters of a length at the half. Yale made their bid as they closed the gap to a half length, but in the sprint, the Blue and Gray gained another half length to win in the time of 4:57. Yale was clocked at 5:00. Princeton proceeded to win the event as they swamped Harvard by two lengths. The times for the race were 4:54 and 5:00.5. Before a Dance Weekend crowd of three hundred, the first crew won their third race of the season as they downed Shrewsbury by two lengths. Kent was never headed as they jumped to a quarter lead in the racing start, and at the half mile barrel, led by a deck length of open water. Going into the last quarter of the race, the Blue and Cray's lead was one and a half lengths, and they sprinited home two lengths ahead. Kent negotiated the course in 4:58, while Shrewsbury was clocked in 5:07. On Saturday, May 12th, Kent won their third race in succession as they trounced Belleville High by two and a half lengths. The Blue and Gray have never lost to a high school crew, excepting in the Nationals two years ago. Kent jumped to an early half length lead in the start of forty-two strokes per minute, and then lowered the beat to a low, powerful thirty-four. Belleville gained a quarter of a length on the front-running Blue and Gray, but Kent immediately checked their opponents with ten leg drives. At the quarter mile barrel, Kent led by a full length. The lead remained unchanged until after the half mile marker when Kent up- ped their stroke slightly and increased their lead to a quarter of a length of open water. At the three quarter marker, Kent led by two lengths, Belleville began their sprint, but the Blue and Gray did not need one as they flashed across the finishline two and a half lengths ahead of their opponents. The times were 4:52 and 5:00.5. At the end of the day's races, the Belleville and Nutley crews presented a plaque to Tote,, Walker, the Kent coach. The plaque was given to him for good sportsmanship and fellowship which he and his crews have shown to them in the years preceding, ever since the three crews have been rowing against each other at Kent on the Housatonic. The first crew race that was scheduled for Sunday, May 20th, with the Syracuse second freshmen crew was cancelled because of illness on the part of Syracuse, so the next race was the New England Inter-scholastic Regatta at Worcerster, Mass. May 26th. At Worcester, the Blue and Gray oarsmen placed first in their division for first eights. For the winning crew, the day brought another satisfaction in an announcement by Father Patterson that they were to represent Kent in the Royal Henley Regatta this summer in England. Rowing a- gainst six other crews, the Kent firsts negotiated the course in 5:10, a length ahead of Andover. At the right, the Blue and Gray firsts are a quar- ter of a length ahead of their Shrewsbury op- ponents. At the left, Shrewsbury and Kent line up for the start of the race which the Kent oarsmen later won by two lengths. The first crew race got underway at one in the afternoon as seven shells lined up for the floating start. Shrewsbury took a short lead over Kent at the start, and proceeded to hold their slight edge until after the quarter mile mark. Rowing at a high thirty-seven strokes per minute, the Blue and Gray pulled even with Shrewsbury and then ahead. By the half way marker, it was obvious that the race was between Shrewsbury, Andover, Shattuck and the leader, Kent. Going into the final half mile, leading by half a length, Kent was still stroking at a thirty-seven and pulling away from Shattuck and Shrewsbury. Andover was still pressing the Blue and Gray oarsmen despite the latter's half length lead. With an eighth of a mile remaining, it was obvious to all what the outcome would be. Kent sprinted home a length ahead of Andover, and one and a half lengths ahead of Shat- tuck. Shrewsbury, Tabor, Halcyon and Technical High fol- lowed in that order. Andover was four seconds behind the Blue and Gray. By their victory, Kent oarsmen became the first recip- ients of the new Sill Trophy, a silver bowl given in honor of Father Sill, founder and longtime headmaster of Kent, to be presented each year to the winning first eight. Kent's name is inscribed on the silver band on the base five times, not including this year. They have failed to win the regatta only three of the nine times they have entered. The annual banquet was held at Tote Walker's home the following Wednesday. After steaks were enjoyed by all, Mr. Walker gave a speech concerning the crew's excellent 'ik The first crew returns to the dock after the grueling race with Princeton. showings throughout the year. Their spirit and sportsman- ship were the qualities that impressed him most, he said, but their outstanding rowing could not be overlooked. It takes these three qualities to make the crew what it has been throughout the year. He thanked Leigh Faldi, the crew's captain, for his help and fine work through the season. Mr. Walker also thanked the managers for keeping the boat house in good shape and being on the ball and ready to help. He especially thanked Lance Larson, the head mana- ger, for his consistent good work. Father Patterson commended the crew on their fine showing and expressed his belief that the crew would bring back the Thames Challenge Cup from England. If they did not bring it back, he would not be disappointed because he said that they would have done their best, and that was all they could do. KN crossed oars were then awarded to the members of the first crew by Mr. Walker. The following received them: Putt King, Chuck Mills, Captain-elect Mike Tooman, Dick Reed, Frank Bates, Al Stowe, John Marsh, Bert Waters, cap- tain Leigh Faldi and Manager Lance Larson.

The second crew had a disappointing record this season as they were able to win only one of their six races. As in the past, the crew was coached by Tote Walker, and this year was led by Terry Johnson, the coxswain of the boat. Along with the first crew candidates, the second crew pros- pects returned a week early from spring vacation to get into shape for the coming schedule. The boating was settled by their race with Yale 150-lb. Junior Varsity boat. Charlie Brainard was at bow, Cliff Conway at two, Sean Sculley at three, Dave J ones at four, Bruce Tarbox at five, Bob Schoel at six, Frank Beane at seven, George Gage at stroke and Terry Johnson as coxswain. At Derby, Conn., the second crew was jumped at the start, but came within two positions of the lead at the quar- ter mile marker. This was the closest they came to being ahead throughout the remainder of the race. At the half Yale led by a length, and went on to win by three and a quarter lengths. On the following Saturday, the seconds lost to a superior Lower Merion High School crew by one and a half lengths. The visitors from Pennsylvania were never headed a they jumped to a quarter length lead at the start, and increased it to a length at the half mile barrel. From there, Lower Merion went on to win easily. The second crew is shown bending their oars as they go into the sprint with Nutley High School ahead by a length. I The Blue and Gray seconds won their only race of the year as they trounced the Princeton Frosh 150-lb. J. V.'s by two lengths. Kent quickly opened up a half length lead at the quarter mile marker, and at the half, to three quarters of a length. At the three quarters, Kent led by one and three quarters of a length and went across the finish line eight seconds ahead of the Tiger boat. Kent's time was 5:02, while Princeton was clocked at 5:10.

The Blue and Gray oarsmen were defeated in their next two races as Nutley High School won by over a length, and Poughkeepsie High School won by a length and a half. In the Nutley race, Kent took a short lead in the racing start, but were soon overcome by the visitors and were never able to catch up again. In the sprint, the Blue and Gray closed the gap to one length before Nutley went across the finish- line.

On Saturday, May 26th, the second crew turned in their best showing of the year as they placed third in the New England Interscholastic Regatta in their division. The race is held annually at Worcester, Mass. They lined up for the racing start against eight other crews. They were: Tabor, Shattuck, Halcyon, Shrewsbury, Technical High School, Belmont Hill, Browne and Nichols and Andover. After the racing start Kent was sixth. By the half mile marker, they had moved into fourth place and still were coming on strong. In the sprint, they edged past Tabor and crossed the finish line six inches behind Shattuck of St. Pauls, and half a length behind the victor Andover. At the annual banquet held at Mr. Walker's house, the crew was congratulated for their excellent showing at the Worcester Regatta. Mr. Walker then awarded the small K crossed oars to the members of the second crew. They were Cliff Conway, Charlie Brainard, Sean Sculley, Dave Jones, Bruce Tarbox, Bob Schoel, Frank Beane, George Gage, Terry Johnson and Manager Bill Lane. Dick Tinker was awarded his numerals as he rowed in the place of Dave Jones at the Worcester Regatta because the latter had an infected hand. Manager Merrill Bailey was also awarded his numerals., and Managers Gillis Hamilton and Dave Westhorp were given their seconds.

'l'- 5 7 7 4 T PLEBES The first team record for the 1956 season was five wins and six losses. Although this would seem to be a fair show- ing, it was disappointing because three of the games lost were by a one run margin. As in past year's the team was coached by Mr. Nadal, and this year was led by Tuck Hicks. In the few days before spring vacation, the team was busy repairing the diamond and bringing in new clay. After the vacation, practice was delayed by heavy rains which made the fields too soft for play. Though the team missed Bobby Reed, who was disabled, it received great help from Jerry and Jack Sullivan who stood out as catcher and cen- terfielder. GUNNERY The season got underway as Kent whipped Gunnery 4 - 3 and overpowered Berkshire 12 - 4. The Gunnery game at Kent was a tense affair in which the visitors nearly knotted the score in the seventh inning. Kent's hitting and fielding in this game was rather shaky. .lack Sullivan stood out on offense and defense as he collected four for four at the plate. Hitting and fielding came to life in the first game with Berk- shire as the Kent assault included eighteen hits off two Berk- shire hurlers. Everyone who played hit safely, and in one of the outstanding hitting displays in recent Kent baseball, Captain Tuck Hicks blasted five doubles in six trips to the plate. CHOATE The squad first met defeat at Choate on April 25th. After trailing most of the game, Kent managed to tie the score in the top of the ninth inning 7 - 7, only to throw it away in the tenth on a wild throw. In an effort to catch up, Coyne drove a triple into left field in the eighth inning to score the tying run, but costly errors lost the game. BERKSHIRE On Fathers' Weekend, Kent again downed Berkshire. The team as a whole played steady ball and Jack Detwiler picked up the win for the Blue and Gray. It was in this 7 - 4 victory,however, that the shortage of base hits began that plagued the team for the rest of the season. 124 The worst showing of the year came against the West Point Plebes. .lack Sullivan and Scotty Wakefield were the only ones able to solve the pitching slants of Rhindflack. Kent, however, was able to hold its own until the six run outbreak in the seventh inning. This was mainly the result of errors. Jack Detwiler pitched well and helped his cause with a triple. The score was 10 - 1 when the game was called in the eighth because of rain. LOOMIS The next two games were disappointments as Kent lost to Loomis 3 - 0 and to Hotchkiss 7 - 1. It seemed as though Kent should have knocked around the pitcher of these two clubs much more than they did, but the Blue and Gray's of- fense could not get started. Kent had only four hits against Loomis and six against Hotchkiss. A strong wind blowing in from left field held up the extra base hits of J ack Detwiler and Tuck Hicks in the latter game. Tuck Hicks is about to slide safely into second base against Hotchkiss amqmssw - Jack Sullivan crosses home plate with one of the seven runs in the 7 - 4- win over Berkshire. TAFT The squad once again displayed good baseball, as they edged past Taft 2 - 1. The team scored the winning tally in the ninth inning on two beautiful squeeze bunts, one by Mac Hicks and one by Dick Baiter. George Coyne previously scored in the sixth on .lack Sullivan's booming double to right field with two men out. Mac Hicks pitched exception- ally well in this game as he struck out nineteen Taft batters, walked but three, and allowed only four well spaced singles. An exceptional catch was made by the Taft shortstop when he speared a line drive off the bat of Scotty Wakefield to end the ninth inning and the game. KINGSWOOD Against Kingswood, the Kent bats again came to life as the squad pounded out ten hits off the deliveries of Drew. But despite this batting spree by the Blue and Gray nine, the game was thrown away in the last two innings when the home team, Kingswood, scored six times to overcome Kent SCHEDULE Kent 4 Gunnery A Kent 12 Berkshire Choate 8 Kent Kent Berkshire Plebes 10 Kent Loomis 3 Kent Hotchkiss 7 Kent Kent 2 Taft Kingswood 10 Kent Kent 8 Trinity-Pawling Hotchkiss 4 Kent 10 - 9. By the fifth inning, Kent had accumlated a 9 - 4- lead, sloppy fielding and Kingswood's late hitting spurt decided the game. George Coyne, Jerry Sullivan and Tuck Hicks led the hitting attack in the early innings of the game as the first two got two hits apiece, and the latter getting three. TRINITY-PAWLING The team bounded back from this dishearting defeat on May 21st as they took Trinity-Pawling by the measure of 8 - 2. Kent again played a steady game as they did in the early part of the season, and Mac Hicks continued striking out opposing batsmen as he whiffed fourteen. In this game, Whitey Coyne stood out on offense with a single, a double and a triple, while Dick Baiter and Scotty Wakefield hit two singles apiece. Charles Appleton played good defensive ball, and Jerry Sullivan played exceptionally well at first base, even though the position was new to him. Kent went to work in the early innings as they garnered five runs in the first two frames. The big inning was the second, as with two men on base, Whitey Coyne tripled with two men on base and scored himself as the relay from the centerfielder got past the Trinity-Pawling catcher. HOTCHKISS The last game of the season, the second Hotchkiss game, was another disappointment as Mr. Nadal's charges lost 4 - 0. The team got only four scattered safeties, and never had more than one man on base in any one inning. As in the first game with Hotchkiss, the slow breaking stuff of the visiting hurler threw the Kent batters off balance. In the Hotchkiss game at Kent, Charlie Appleton, in the top photo, misses the ball, while in bottom photo, Dick Baiter hits a high fly in front of plate. mwmma..,-W... .... wtmm--.s.,.w ...ma..fm...,s-.i.ew...,-f.-....,.,,,. ,... ,.....,N...,. .sf.-- .s,.,,,....,.M...., .... ,,......1...Aw..s ,... sa, , fi. ,-.- .....,...,..,.,,,. ., At the annual banquet held in Macedonia Valley at the picnic grounds, Whitey Coyne was elected captain of next yearis baseball squad. Mr. Nadal gave a short talk con- cerning the season, and also pondered on the prospects for next yearls team. The only trouble, he pointed out, was that there is a dire need for a pitcher, since Mac Hicks and Jack Detwiler were graduating this year. Tuck Hicks then con- gratulated the squad on their fine spirit shown throughout the season and wished George Coyne the best of luck for the coming season. Coach Partridge, who was new to Kent this Kent baserunner is picked off between third and home by Berkshire catcher. year. also congratulated the entire squad for their sportsman- ship on and off the diamond. Mr. Nadal, in turn, thanked Mr. Partridge for his help in pitching during batting practice and his assistance as pitching coach. The following were a- warded their letters: Charlie Appleton, Whitey Coyne, .lack Sullivan, Jerry Sullivan, Mac Hicks, Tuck Hicks, Jack Det- wiler, Dick Baiter and Scotty Wakefield.

SECOND BASEBALL The second baseball team had a record of two wins and four losses this year. Left with six returning players from last year's team, the squad was able to attain a better record than shown in previous years. This year the team was coached by Mr. Smith and led by Ned Hobbs. The team's opening game was with the Millbrook first team on April 18th, when the squad was edged out by Mill- brook 4 - 3. Nick Hagerman, who had a record of two wins and two losses for the year was the losing pitcher. In the second game of the season, Kent was shut out by a powerful Taft team 4 - 0. They scored twice in each the second and sixth innings, while Kent, who threatened continually throughout the game, was unable to score. Pete May, the second string pitcher absorbed the loss for the Blue and Gray. On April 20th, the Kent seconds defeated a Junior Re- public team for their first win of the season. The game was a see-saw battle until the last inning when the winning pit- cher, Nick Hagerman, put down Jr. Republic in order, and his team mates pushed across the winning run for the 8 - 7 victory. Kent took their third loss at the hands of a superior Hotchkiss team 8 - 2. Nick Hagerman sustained the loss, his second of the season as his team mates were only able to col- lect two hits off the Hotchkiss pitcher. Pete Fairchild and Ned Hobbs collected the only two hits, and both were long singles to left field in the first inning. On May 9th, Kent dropped its fourth game of the sea- son, this time to the Choate seconds. The game proved to be a pitchers duel as Kent collected three hits, while the victors had only two. Three errors, four stolen bases, and the loss of control by the Kent pitcher accounted for the 3 - 1 Choate win. Kent's last game of the season was a return match against Hotchkiss which the Blue and Gray won 10 - 9. Nick Hagerman was the winning pitcher. Kent trailed most of the game, but in the last two innings, pulled the game out ,of the fire. At the annual banquet, all members of the squad re- ceived their 2nds.

K, , FIRST TENNIS With only two returning lettermen from last yearis ten- nis squad, Foster Devereux fthe captain-electj and Steve Plowden-Wardlaw, this year's team compiled a mediocre record of four wins and eight losses. Coach 1'1umphrey's squad finished third in the Southern New England Tennis League, beating Taft and Westminster while losing to Loomis and Hotchkiss. With the aid of powerful opposition provided by many college freshmen teams, the netters did commend- ably well in their four league encounters. The first match with Trinity-Pawling was cancelled be- cause of rain, and the 1956 season formally opened against a powerful Deerfield squad. The Kent team displayed an evident lack of practice and experience as they succumbed by a score of 6 - 3. Captain Devereux was impressive as he carried Simmons to three sets, finally losing 7 - 5, 7 - 9, 6 - 4. Putnam in the sixth position, won Kentis only singles victory. The Yale freshmen match was a decidedly one-sided affair as it found Kent on the short end of a 9 - 0 score. The next match, against Taft, saw Kent finally win its first vic- tory of the year 5 - 4. Foster Devereux, Steve Thayer, John Putnam and Rusty Wing scored the singles victories, while Putnam and Thayer teamed up to win the third doubles match with ease. In the following week, Kent dropped two close encount- ers, first to a well-rounded Williams Freshmen squad, and then to a Wesleyan Frosh team 5 - 4, before a large Fathers' Weekend crowd. Hampered by wind and rain, the Kent ag- gregations proceeded to bow before an over powering Loomis team 7 - 2. All the matches were close, but the visitors from Windsor came through in the pinch to provide their margin of victory. Steve Thayer won his match 6 - 3, 6 - 4, and John Putnam' also won 7 - 5, 10 - 8.

On the following Wednesday, Kent was beaten again, this time by Choate 8 - 1. Rusty Wing was the only winner of the day for the Blue and Gray netters 6 - 2, 6 - 4. Dick Alford lost the closest match of the day to Chapin 6 - 4, 2 - 6, 6 - 3. The Trinity freshmen tennis squad was the next loss for Kent as they barely lost 5 - 4. Devereux, Plowden-Ward- law. Wing and Thayer all lost their singles matches, but John Putnam was victorious 6 - 1, 6 - 1, as was Dick Alford 6 - 2, 6 - 0. In the doubles, Kent took two matches as Devereux and Plowden-Wardlaw defeated their opponents 6 - 2, 6- 2, and Wing and Alford came through 6 - 1, 6 - 1. Thlngs were brighter for Kent's tennis team the next week, as they won two matches, one from Westminster and the other from Trinity-Pawling. The Westminster match saw all but one of the singles matches taken by Kent, and all of the doubles won. Foster Devereux lost 6 - 4, 6 - 3, but Rusty Wing won a close match 6 - 4, 8 - 6. In the third singles, Steve Plowden-Wardlaw won a hard fought victory 4 - 6, 7 - 5, 8 - 6. This was by far the best match of the day. Kent's number four man, John Putnam won his match quickly as he outlasted his opponent 6 - 4, 6 - 4. Dick Alford squeezed past his man 7 - 5, 8 - 6, and Rob Wilkins slaughtered his man 6 - 1, 6 - 2. Kent also won the doubles rrifflwhes, the closest one being Foster Devereux and Steve Plowden-Ward- law edging out Morgan and Hecht 5 - 7, 6 - 4, 6 - 3. The other two doubles matches were easy victories for Kent as Wing and Alford crushed their opponents 6 - 1, 6 - 2, and Thayer and Putnam trounced their Westminster men 6 - 4, 6 - 1. This was a particularly satisfying victory because it was a New England League match. .-I ' --W - ...,.n..,-. ----M , . ,. ., .. .L J - ff ii A f SCHE DULE . 11-,,g 7, Deerfield 6 Kent 3 ' 1- ',..

Wing was soundly beaten in the first set, but for a while it seemed that he might win the second as the score was tied at 4 - 4. However, his opponent went on to take the last two games. In the longest match of the day, Steve Plowden-Wardlaw barely edged past his opponents 7 - 5, 3 - 6, 9 - 7. John Put- nam then won his match easily 6 - 1, 6 - 4.

The only doubles victory of the day came when Devereux and Plowden-Wardlaw easily conquered their Taft opponents 6 - 2, 6 - 3. The annual tennis banquet was held in the small dining room Wednesday, May 30th. After the dinner, Mr. Humph- reys spoke concerning this year's tennis team, saying that even though the record was not an impressive one, the squad had to consider that four of the matches were against col- lege freshmen teams. He also said that he admired the spirit of the squad throughout the season, and that the prospects for the next year's season are particularly bright because of the return of five of this year's letter winners. Those return- ing are Allen, Plowden-Wardlaw, Putnam, Thayer and Wil- kins. Foster Devereux was awarded the Hamilton Trophy, symbolic of the best singles player in the school and the Spring Doubles Cup along with Rusty Wing.

The 1955 football season marked the return of the sin- gle wing to Kent football. Since the T formation had been used since 1949, the introduction of the new formation meant hard practices and long hours of learning the basic fundamentals of the new pattern for the first team as well as the leagues. Its success, however, was as evident in the clubs as it was on the first team. JUNIOR LEAGUE FOOTBALL In the opening game of the Junior leagues, the Mace- donians, coached by O. B. Davis, downed the Algos with the aid of Tom Gurney, their captain, and his superior running and passing. The Algos first and only tally came in the fourth quarter on a long run by John Holmes. Preventing the Algos from further score by a strong defensive game, the Massies secured the game with a 14-6 victory. The following Friday, the Hoosies downed the Massies in their first game of the season 7-6. Though the Massies scored first, their opponents remained spirited and in the last minutes of the fourth quarter, they scored seven points which decided the game. The Hoosies 50-0 victory over the last place Algos was followed in similar fashion by the Massies' 20-0 win over the Reds. In the Hoosie-Algo game, Blake Smith scored 42 of the Housatonics 50 points. The rest of the season con- tinued with the Algos remaining in the cellar position and the Massies finally being overcome by the I-Iousatonics' su- perior attack. The Juniors' season was highlighted by a tilt against the Trinity-Pawling third string, against whom the All-Stars lost 31-7. INTERMEDIATE LEAGUE FOOTBALL The first game of the Intermediate League was won by the Hoosies 6-0, who defeated the Macedonians in pouring rain. A strong Algo eleven defeated both the other clubs in the next two games. Though the Massies seemed to be lag- ging behind, they rallied to upset the Algos 20-12 in a close game and then managed to shut out the Hoosies 13-0. The Massie team was sparked by Luke Fouke, a fast moving half- back, who for a third former showed great potential. On October 8th, the unpredictable Algos, capitalizing on a strong offense, returned to trounce the Green 40-0. The Hoosies then dropped another tilt to a determined Massie team 27-7. The Massies decided the league title in the final series by overcoming the trailing Hoosies 13-0 and the Algos 12-0. Under the leadership of quarterback Jim Zadra, the Blue team shut out the winning Taft School intermediates with one touchdown which climaxed a sixty-yard drive. Mr. Conover coached the winning Macedonians. SENIOR LEAGUE FOOTBALL As the season's schedule got under way, the Massies drubbed the Hoosies 13-0 in the Senior League. The second game again saw the Blues victorious as they downed the Al- gos in a hard fought game 13-6. In a see-saw battle against the Hoosies, the Red team dropped their next game too, 12- 7. During the next week, the Massies again displayed their superior attack by trouncing the Hoosies 20-0 and two days later the Algos 28-7. Beard and Hank Truslow, both in the deceptive Macedonian backfield, excelled in the Blues' wins. Winning the league mathematically, the Massies shut out the .f,..-J' Blake Smith, on right, moves in on Trinity-Pawling ball carrier in Junior All- Star game.

The Reds and Greens continued to battle for second place as they fought to a 7-7 tie the following Thurs- day. The Blue team extended their undefeated streak to se- ven games as they downed the Hoosies 26-6, but the defeated Greens followed suit to whip the Algos 32-0. the Macedo- nians, supported by the skill of Hank Truslow and George Beard, co-captains, brought the season to an end as they whipped the Taft seniors 34-13 to close out an undefeated season. George Coyne was also instrumental in this victory. Earlier in the season, Mr. Smith coached his Blue team to a 28-0 victory over the South Kent Second team. These easy victories, as well as the keen inter-club competition, displayed the first team potential that has been predicted for the coming year. LEAGUE SOCCER In the first two games of the season the Algos and Housatonics were both victorious. The Red team established their lead and had high hopes of their second straight un- defeated season. The closest any opponents came to them were the Hoosies who lost their 3-1 lead to the desperate Algos in the last two periods to bring the game to an exci- ting 3-3 tie. As the season drew to a close, the spirited Red team edged the Hoosies 1-0 to tighten their grip for the title, and the Massies dropped two more games to each of the other clubs. In the last three games of the season, the Macedonians came from last place to clinch second as they won 2-1 over the Housatonics, and broke the Algos undefeated string with another 2-1 victory to tie the Massies for second with the Hoosies. A playoff followed in which the Massies were vic- torious in a close game 1-0. Both the Algos and Housatonics had experienced captains in Terry Johnson and Torsten Ny- kopp respectively. Thus soccer in its sixth season of club competition has established itself as a proving ground for the first soccer squad. LEAGUE HOCKEY Owing to good weather and the new artificial rink, League Hockey was able to conduct a very competitive and successful season. The Massies won the league on the last day of the season and the Algos and Hoosies took second and third respectively. The Massies were coached by Fr. Penfield and Dan 0'Brien was captain. The Hoosies and Algos were coached by Mr. Grey and Mr. Park respectively. The first game of the season showed the Massies and Algos tied for first place, in which seemed to be a duel be- tween two equals. The Algos were supported by a strong de- fense of Hylbom and Kenyon. The Algo line was equally strong because of the return of MacMillan, Curtis and Sy- monds. The Massie team also had a strong defense supported by Truslow and Rouse. Their line was not as strong as the Algos at the beginning, but greatly improved by the end of the season. The Hoosies strongest point was their defense. By the time of the last games of the season, the Algos 133 Action in a league soccer game on the club field in Macedonia Valley. and Massies were tied for first place, and the Hoosies were completely out of the running. On Wednesday, February 18th, the two top clubs rnet to determine the winner. The Massies barely squeezed by the Algos 2 - 1. Neither team was able to score in the first period, but in the second stanza, the Algos took a one point lead on MacMillan's goal. The Massies tied it up minutes later on Graham Gurney's goal. In the third period the Massies again took the lead as Lip- pincott put the puck past the Algo goalie, and never lost the lead thereafter. Good goal tending by Hodges saved the Mas- sies time and time again, and helped to give them the cham- pionship. The new artificial ice rink helped the leagues have a better hockey season. . . 1. 5. ., N1 Action between the Algos and the Hoosies in a A league hockey game. On Wednesday, February 22nd, a Junior team, which was formed by Mr. Park from the league, went to South Kent junior team. It was a very close game as the Kent Jun- iors edged out South Kent 4 - 3. On Friday, February 24th, the same junior team faced a New Haven Pee Wee team on home ice. The Kent team, which had defeated the Pee Wee,s earlier in the season, dropped the tilt 6 - 2. The juniors were off to a good start as Pete May scored the first two goals of the game. Then the visitors knotted the score, and at the be- ginning of the second period, broke the game wide open as they drove three goals by Kent Goalie Sweitzer. This loss gave the juniors a record of two wins and one loss for the year. A great deal of credit should be given to Mr. Park who had coached the team and formed a winning combination. With the new rink at Kent, the leagues can be assured of seasons similar to this in years to come. LEAGUE BASKETBALL The Housatonic captured the league basketball cham- pionship during a very exciting season which was not de- cided until the final game of the campaign. The season showed a nip and tuck battle between the Hoosies and Mas- sies which ended on the last day when the Massies lost to the Hoosies 52 - 48 in overtime. High scorer for this year was Sherry Snyder who netted 207 points. He was followed by the captain ofthe Macedonians, Lance Larson, who had 198 points. . The first week of play showed the Massies and Hoosies tied for first place with four points apiece. This came about as the senior Massies took both of their games, while the Housatonics won in the senior league, and won two games in the B leagues. Sherry Snyder was the high scorer for the week, while captain Tex Houston of the Algos was runnerup. At the end of the second week of play, the Massies and Hoosies were still tied for first place. The Massies stayed on top because of their 49 - 30 defeat of the Algos, and a 41 - 19 defeat of the Hoosies. The Hoosies- retaliated in the B league as they won twice, and in the senior league as they defeated the Algos who did not win a game all season. 134 The Massies took a slight edge over the Hoosies at the end of the third week of play as they defeated the Hoosies 44 - 35 and the Algos 58 - 42. Lance Larson paced the Mace- donians this week and ,lohn Butts of the Hoosies was the second highest scorer in the leagues this week with 22 points. Two more games followed in the next week as the Mas- sies crushed the Algos 85 - 27, but lost a close one to the Houastonics. Then on Saturday, February 18th, the league All-Stars went to Trinity-Pawling where they defeated their third team 58 - 34. Snyder, Hagerman and Larson paced the All-Star attack. Once Kent got the lead, they never relin- quished it throughout the rest of the game. The Housatonics played tremendous ball in the last week as they overcame a Massie lead to win the champion- ship. In the other game of the week, the Massies once again trounced the Algos 85 - 19, with Sherry Snyder and Lance Larson pacing the Blue attack with 36 and 26 points re- spectively. The Hoosies and Massies each won a game in the B League as the former won 17 - 14 and the latter 52 - 48. LEAGUE WRESTLING The clubs had a much bigger chance for competition this year as there were forty members of the student body out for wrestling this year. The weight classes, however, were not evenly matched, which prevented inter-club competi- tion. However, in an outside match, a league wrestling match was held against the Wooster third team and the Kent men were easily victorious. All but two of the club members were victorious. Several of the league members gained valuable experi- ence in exhibition bouts held before the first team matches. Turner of the fourth form, Waddicor, Ahlborn and Saltus of the third form were among those who wrestled in exhibi- tion matches this past year. Besides filling in for injured members of the first and second teams who would otherwise be forced to forfeit their matches, many of the club mem- bers were invaluable in practice. Under the able coaching of Mr. Gifford, the clubs showed their potential by the close of the season. Many of the underform wrestlers in the clubs have good chances of securing for themselves positions on Kent wrestling teams in the future years ahead of them at Kent. Nick Hagerman takes a jump shot from side. Housatonics and Macedonians start overtime game in which the Hoosies were victorious 52 - 48 to give them the league championship. LEAGUE TENNIS As usual, practice for all the spring sports was to com- mence two weeks before the ending of winter term, but be- cause of the poor condition of the clay courts, this time was spent in reconditioning them. During the beginning of the spring term, club activity continued to be hampered by bad weather but the club members ran to the white barn every day to get into condition for the season. Besides the running, most of the club members were able to practice on the all- weather courts. When the clubs finally got to the courts, the first week or so saw the league contenders jockeying for positions on their respective ladders. Carleton Powell secured the num- ber one positions for the Housatonics, Jim Dixon did like- wise for the Massies, and Jim Perry for the Algos. In the opening match, the Algos shaded the Hoosies 6 - 5 in a close contest which saw almost everyone going to three sets. The next week saw a very decisive contest as the Macedonians defeated the Housatonics 8 - 2. In the third week of play, the Massies edged out the Algos 6 - 4. Although the struggle appeared to be even, the Blues turned the tide in the doubles tournament to take the three out of four matches played and climaxed the victory for the day. The league ladders were not too well balanced and were upset by challenge matches up to the second team through- out the year. The final results of the season showed the Al- gos and Massies tied for first place with two wins and one loss each, and the trailing Housatonics with one win and three losses to their credit. This year, the Algo coach was Mr. Maillet, the Macedonian coach Mr. Hustvedt, and the Housatonic coach was Fr. Low. Each coach did much to in- spire the keen competition of which the final results are indicative. LEAGUE BASEBALL Baseball had a very good club season despite the small turnout of players. The Housatonics took the league by de- feating the Macedonians on the last day of play. The club coaches for the year were Mr. Brown, Mr. Downes and Mr. McCandless. They coached the Algos, Housatonics and Macedonians, respectively. The first game ofthe season was between the Hoosies and the Algos, and the former team came out on top 12 - 1. Blake Smith went the route for the victors as he scattered three hits. Bieler rapped two triples and a single while Pan- cho Baiter and Dwight Collin each collected a double and a single for the victorious Greens. Brandon Sweitzer then tamed the Housatonics for the Massies as he pitched a masterful game for an 8 - 5 win. Ted Dartford paced the Macedonian attack with a booming triple and Blake Smith and Bieler each collected a double in a losing cause. The Algos won their first game of the season as they edged out the Massies 8 - -TLEBOD Tatro was the winning pit- cher, while Sweitzer absorbed the loss. The Housatonics be- gan to roll as they crushed the Algos 11 - 2 as Blake Smith picked up his second win ofthe year. Smith won again as he tamed the Macedonians - 0 in a hard fought game as the Hoosies took over the 'league lead. Fred Stoner picked up his first victory of the season as he shut out the Algos 8 - 0. Stoner allowed only one hit, which was garnered by .lim Ferguson and that was only a single. Mitchell and Cush- man were the batting stars for the winning Macedonian club. In the seven innings on May 2nd, the Housatonic out- slugged the Algos for an 8 - 7 win. Ferguson weilded the big bat for the Algo squad, as did Collin for the Hoosies. Then on May 3rd, the club reserves who had seen little action in the regular games, lost to a similar South Kent squad 4 - 2. It was also learned that The Housatonics would be minus their star pitcher, Blake Smith, as he was asked up to the second squad. Macedonian - Algo competition in final league game won by Massies 2 - 1 LL., W,,. The next game of the year saw the Macedonians Squeeze The boating for the undefeated Massie firsts was: how out a close 8 - 7 verdict over the Housatonics. The Hoosies took a commanding 7 - 0 lead in the first inning as there were many errors on the part of the Massie fielders, but the Massies started to settle down to a serious game as they started to hit and field expertly. They scored four runs in each of the next two innings to take the lead, and never re- linquished it throughout the remainder of the game. Fred Stoner was the winning pitcher, while Blake Smith suffered the loss. The Macedoians, as league leaders, played a game with Forman School, but came out on the short end of a 10 - 8 verdict. The strong bats and fast pitching of the winners were too much for the Massie nine. On the club field at the same time, the Housatonics ran up against the same odds as they were soundly trounced by South Kent 11 - 2. ,,,: 3 5 F teet etee eatl , ,e , L ..

On May 17th, the Hoosies downed the Algos 7 - 2 in a loosely played contest. Buck picked up the victory, while Ahlborn absorbed the loss. The league was then decided as the Algos defeated the Macedonians 5 - 4. This put the Hoosies team in first place, followed by the Massies and the Algos. LEAGUE CREW Although hampered by had weather, the club crews were able to enjoy a very successful season. The first and third Massies finished with undefeated seasons, as did the second Algos. Mr. Ritchie was the Massie coach, while the Algos and Hoosies were coached by Mr. Park and Mr. Davis respectively. The clubs were able to use three shells - the Pater, the Sill and the J.0.P., and therefore got in more pratice than usual. 136 - Hanf, 2 - MacRitchie, 3 - Zadra, 4 - Lippincott, 5 - Boyd, 6 - W. Stowe, 7 - VanDervoort, and Schwindt at stroke re- spectively. The captain and cox of the crew was David Haist. The Massies beat the Hoosies and Algos three times in suc- cession and thus gained the traditional outside race with the Berkeley College of Yale. The Massies won by a two length margin and thus won the trophy which was given to com- memorate the many races between the Kent clubs and the college. The start of the race was close, but at the half mile barrel, the Massie crew poured it on and Berkeley was never able to catch up. In the first division, the Massies were almost beaten by the Algos to end their defeated season. This occurred on Wednesday, May 2nd, when the Massies barely defeated the Algos by three feet. The Massies were able to jump the Al- gos at the start by a length, but at the half, the lead was cut to half a length. The Massies were unable to pull away while the Algos kept gaining. As they neared the end, the Algos showed a beautiful sprint which fell short by three feet. The Massies were never threatened in any race after this race, as they won the rest by over a length and a half. The second Algos had no trouble in winning their division as they defeated all of their opponents by over one length. The most competition was given by the second Hoosies, but they were no match for the second Algos. The Algos, as in past years, were coached by Mr. Park. In the third division, the Massies were undefeated as they were coached by Mr. Grey. Runnerup to the Massies were the Hoosies who were also a strong crew. The Algos were last. Because of the bad weather, the thirds were un- able to get as much practice as they wished, but they ended the season in good shape despite this and thus helped to make the league more competitive than ever before. The Macedonians, who rowed only half mile races, won all their races in the third division, by well over one length. Al- though the third Algos jumped them at the start and held a short lead until well over the half way mark, the Massies went on to win.

Coach Tote Walker and Mrs. Arnett .lulier at the presentation 138 of the new Sill Trophy. By virtue of their victory in the New England Inter- scholastic regatta, it was annonuced by Father Patterson that the 1956 Blue and Gray oarsmen would definitely compete in the Royal Henley Regatta from July 4-th through the 7th in England on the Thames River. It was stated that in addi- tion to the regular crew, George Gage and Frank Beane would be the spare oarsmen, and Lance Larson, the mana- ger, would make the trip. This was to be the twelfth time Kent would be represented in the Henley Regatta. The only other United States crew to compete in the regatta was to be the undefeated Princeton 160 lb. varsity, who were also going to compete for the Thames Challenge Cup. The 1956 Henley Crew began their strenuous workouts in the States on June 5th, They rowed twice a day until June 19th, when they packed the Edward T. Gushee, oars and other accessories they would need in England. A pair of rowing machines were also packed for use on board the Queen Mary. The monotony of the two weeks at Kent was broken up by various movies in Dover Plains and New Milford. Leigh Faldi, the captain, added a bit of laughter to the crew when he fell in the Housatonic as he was warning the oarsmen to watch their step on the dock while putting the shell in the water for their daily pratice. On June 19th, after a dinner given the previous night by Father and Mrs. Patterson at the rectory with all the fac- ulty present, the crew departed for Bronxville, Greenwich and New York to spend the night. At 11:30 A.M. on June 20th, the shell was loaded on the Queen Mary, and at 5:30 P.M., the liner left for Cherbourg and Southampton. On board ship, the oarsmen worked out twice daily in shifts of half an hour each. Mock races were held against various English and American crews who have competed against Kent at Henley. The Queen Mary landed at South- hampton June 26th, and the Kent squad proceeded to Henley and the various private homes in which they were to stay. Headquarters were set up at the Hermitage Hotel where the crew ate their meals. In the afternoon, the crew met Percy, their boatman, who was to take care of the shell. The first row on the Thames was held in the afternoon, and as expected, the crew had a difficult time setting the boat up. One change was made in the boating. George Gage rowed in the place of Chuck Mills., and Gage stayed in the boat for the races. The day before the races, Dick Reed became sick, so Mills rowed in the four position during the regatta. With the exception of Sunday, the crew practiced twice daily 'til the opening day of competition on July 4th. The crew had many short races and starts with other crews throughout the practices.. These races were called brushes. The main brush was held with Jesus College of Cambridge who were entered in the competition for the Grand Challenge Cup. The Blue and Cray held their own, and on the following afternoon, Sunday, had tea with them at their coach's house on the Thames. On the opening day of the regatta, Kent lined up at the stake boats against Burton Leander Rowing Club at 3:30 P.M. The Blue and Gray were jumped at the .start by half a length. Both crews rowed a high thirty-eight until the bar- rier, when both boats were even. The time to the barrier was 2:09. Kent went ahead by a canvas as they overstroked their opponents by one beat at a thirty-five. By Fawley, the Blue and Gray were stroking a thirty-six and leading by three- quarters of a length. Kent's time to the half way mark was 3:38. Burton Leander closed the gap to a canvas again after passing Fawley, and the lead remained unchanged until Kent reached the enclosure, rowing a thirty-eight. As the leaders sprinted home, the margin of victory was increased to half a length. The time for the race was 7:35. At 3:35 P.M. the next day the Blue and Cray faced London Rowing Club and were jumped at the start by a canvas. London proceeded to reach the barrier in 2:08, three- Tlzejqnal workout bww the races begin. ,,i,,,,a.,4 ., 1 . . . A . a , ff- - , ff . ,,, . . g r ,,,,, N.- 'g', , J., -'gt'-gy? 4 It lifigf. ..

S. entry began to steadily overcome the opposing crew and just before Fawley, Kent had a half length lead. They passed Fawley in 3:35 and led by half a length. Upping the beat to a thirty-five, Kent continued to pull away and as they entered the enclosure, were ahead by two lengths. The Blue and Gray sprinted the last ten strokes and picked up another quarter of a length as they crossed the finish line in 7:39. Kent's next opponent was the undefeated Vesta Rowing Club on Friday July 6th. At 12:20, both crews got off to a Kent downs London RC. 66l.S'Z.bl. fast start with Vesta taking a slight lead of a canvas. Kent's lower stroking crew slowly edged up on the front-runners, and drew even at the barrier. Both crews continued to bat- tle for the lead, but Kent's low powerful stroke opened up a half length lead at Fawley. At the mile mark, the Blue and Gray led by just about one length, and in the sprint in- creased their lead to one and a half lengths as they went across the finish line. The barrier time was 2:07, the time to Fawley was 3:34, and the finish time was 7:22. This victory pushed the Blue and Gray oarsmen into the semi-finals against Princeton Saturday morning. The Kent-Princeton race got underway at 12:15. Kent was jumped at the start by a canvas. Rowing a thirty-eight, the school boys were unable to overcome the Tiger lead, and by the barrier trailed by a quarter of a length. Princeton was understroking Kent by three beats at a thirty-three. At Fawley, the collegians led by a half a length and were slowly pulling away. Entering the enclosure, they led by one length, and finished the race with a quarter of a length of open water between the two shells. The times were Barrier 2:07, Fawley 3:37, Finish 7:38. Later in the afternoon, Princeton went on to capture the coveted Thames Challenge Cup as they defeated the R.A.F. At a semi-banquet that evening Mr. Walker congratu- lated the crew and said that there was no disgrace losing to a crew of Princeton's caliber. Thus ended the competition for the 1956 Kent crew.

The student council at Kent has the responsibility of protecting and fostering the traditions and the way of life of the school, and it also sets the tone of the school in the light of the ideals of Kent as set up by Pater many years ago. Its job encompasses all aspects of this life which concerns the students. The council is made up of seventeen members of all five forms. The voting portion of the council is composed of the four prefects, and the form council member, and those elected representatives of the fourth and fifth forms. The non-voting representatives are the second and third form members. The first meeting of the 1955-56 council was held in May of 1955 at the annual picnic. At this first meeting the officers for the coming year were elected. Senior Prefect Dick Baiter was elected Chairman, John Wing secretary, and Ned Hobbs was chosen sergeant-at-arms.

The meetings were opened with a short prayer, followed by the reading of the minutes of the last meeting. After this any old business carried over from the previous meeting was discussed. The new business was then begun, 'and the suggestions for the week which the students had placed in the Council Box were read, discussed and if necessary, were voted upon. The discussion of the weekis hours usually ended the meetings. The minutes of the meeting were read to the student body the following night in Council Assembly. A certain portion of the student body were invited to attend the Council meetings each week and were able to see the council at work. The Council keeps the students in touch with the run- ning of the school and gives the students a chance to bring up any problems which may occur through the year. KENT MUSIC A few years back some of the luckier '56ers were able to take Gilly's Modern History course, and learn his famous slogan, Drang Nach Oslenf' Later Gilly became familiar to us all with his capacity as the producer of superlative Glee Clubs and Choirs year in and year out. Gilly and his cvnical humor will long be remembered hy us of '56. GLEE CLUB Upon viewing the 200 candidates for the '56 Glee Club, it became evident that the organization was to be composed of a large number of raw recruits. With this in mind, Mr. Gilliam began final rehearsals on Sept. 18, and on all pos- sible Wednesday and Friday nights that followed. Having confidence in his fifty-two members. the director started off with a trail song. the well-known Halls zyflvy, which was later to be conducted by Mike Tooman. Bill Weber and Bob Reed were the club's student of- ficers, being assisted by Bert Waters, who assembled dance lists for the dances and helped take attendance at rehearsals. On December 3rd, we boarded the buses for the first time to head for St. Margaretis School in Waterbury. Follow- ing dinner, the club sang for the student body fSt. Margaret's club did not sing because they do not start rehearsals ,til after the mid-term examsj. Pete Iszard sang a solo in Cruci- jixion, followed by Chuck Mills in Manga Time, a Carib- bean folk song. The concert was fairly short, and our hostesses were very hospitable the whole evening. The dance proved most enjoyable, and many of the buys left with the hope of hav- ing another concert with them. On April 14, our second concert with St. Margaret's was held, this time at Kent. An added attraction over the first was Bert Waters' singing of My Sou! it Anchored in the Lori and Lowlands by the whole club. The success of the meeting was completed with a dance and refreshments in the lecture room. The Westover Glee Club made its appearance at Kent on Feb. 18. The Kent rendition of Gershwin's I Got Plengf zy Nuttz'n' was a favorite, as was Bill Weber's solo in a ca- lypso known as Ugbl Woman. After a few meetings passed we acquired several new members. With determination to start a lasting relation with Emma Willard, the club journeyed to Troy on March 3. The long trip was well worth it. Bob Reed was at his best in Satarfs debut. a great success at Emma Willard. This suc- cess showed that the club was now well ready for the two New York appearances on the next weekend.

The success of these two concerts was the aim ofthe year'.s hard work. Saturday evening, March 10, they sang in the grand ballroom of the Waldorf Astoria at the dinner celebrating Pater's birthday. At the great 50th Anniversary Service in New York Cathedral on Sunday, with the whole student body present, the club contributed three hymns, the first being Adoramus Te, by Palestrina. Cliff Conway, '57, accompanied the second hymn, GZOUJ to God, and our last hymn also, Benedicite by Beethoven. After this service, every- one returned to school. After Spring Vacation, they had two concerts left. The first, with St. Margarefs, was previously mentioned. The last of the year was the annual concert on Fathers' Week- end. Bill Weber sang Summertime, accompanied by .lim Mell, '60, on the piano. Talent for conducting was displayed by Mike Tooman again as he led the club through Adoramus Te. Thus the Glee Club ended its activities for the year 1956. Under the direction of Mr. Gilliam, the club progres- sed from a group of fifty-seven individuals to an organization capable, on a good night, of producing enjoyable music. BAKER'S DOZEN With the graduation of the class of 1955, the reserve of experienced club members was very much depleted and likewise, the Bakeris Dozen had lost most of its members, leaving seven places vacant. Returning in September the school had new members, and Mr. Gilliam and the club of- ficers began to try various combinations of boys who were interested in belonging to the group. The 1956 Baker's Dozen. The Westover Glee Club at Kent. By October, thirteen members had been selected and the group began the slow development that was to culminate in a closely-knit organization of surprising capabilities and entertainment potential. Regular meetings were held after supper in the auditorium or some secluded spot such as a classroom. As the accoustics of a room have a great effect on the sound produced, the Dozen practiced in various loca- tions to achieve adaptability. Bill Weber, a club officer and five year member of the Dozen, led the organization, offer- ing helpful criticism and giving the all-important pitch. Slide Trombone was one of the first renditions to be added to the repertoire and turned out to be one of the best selections. Tuba soon followed as baritone Cliff Conway lent his solo talent, while the basses pumped away on the um-pah background. The first concert of the year was held at St. Margaret's and the thirteen made their successful debut there. Mike Tooman's Lazy Bones and Bill Weber's I Talked to the Trees were the most popular numbers by general consensus. Mike, the personality punch of the group, provided much amusement with his free and easy interpretations in Tuba and jingo. Dick Tinker and Sandy Allen kept the tenor riding high, while Chuck Mills held the basses in check. Bob Reed, second tenor and club president, had to bow out of the Dozen temporarily due to illness. This was a definite loss to the group, however, Nick Hagerman was soon ushered in to fill the vacancy and did a fine job even though he had had little previous experience. All in all, the members of the Baker's Dozen had a great deal of fun in the association with each other. Bill We- ber, Bob Reed and Chuck Mills will be sorely missed. But the Baker's Dozen will carry on, and under the guidance of Mr. Gilliam is sure to produce good music in future years. This year's Baker's Dozen were: Dick Tinker, Sandy Allen, Lowell Johnston, Dan Larsen, John Wellington, Grant Rudnicki, Bob Reed, Nick Hagerman, Bill Weber, Cliff Con- way, Bob Sterne, Chuck Mills, Mike Tooman, and Lee Lor- ing. 147 THE CHOIR This year the choir has been exceptionally active both in leading the congregation in singing, and in helping to teach new hymns and the final part of Mr. Gilliam's Mass. The choir was able to accomplish a great deal. Organists Cliff Conway and Aims McGuinness, with the aid of Mr. Gilliam, were able to improve the caliber of music played at chapel services. At the start of the year, Mr. Gilliam was faced with the problem of filling those positions vacated by last year's mem- bers who had graduated. By October, these positions were filled, and the 1956 Choir was started on its singing career. Perhaps the biggest event of the year was the choir's singing in the Cathedral of St. John the Divine. Together with the Glee Club, they performed the intricate Benediriie. The choir and club were accompanied by Cliff Conway. The important Fiftieth Anniversary service went well, and many compliments on the high quality of singing were later heard. In future years, Mr. Gilliam hopes for greater rewards for the choir. With the installation of the new organ and the placement of the choir in the back of the chapel, the ability of the songsters will be put to a greater test. Rehearsal for the Emma Willard concert THE KENTNEWS One of the positions most sought after each year by in- coming sixth formers is a position on the Editoral Board of the Kent NEWS. To many, it is the prospect of seeing one's name on the masthead week after week that is attractive. To a few, however, it is the prospect of putting out a paper and being in on the making of the news that is appealing. Be that as it may, those who do make the Board usually turn out to be well qualified and willing workers. Such has been the case this year. The NEWS staff of the class of '56 has done a commendable job in turning out issues of high journalistic standards. Particularly noticable has been the general appearance of the paper. Good make- up is a goal which past NEWS Boards have been working for many years. Head man this year was Editor-in-Chief Dave Clapp. It was Dave's business to see that the NEWS was running smoothly and that all were doing their jobs. Aside from this, Dave's specific job was to make out the dummy, an out- line of each week's paper which must accompany the copy to the printer on Tuesday. When the headlines, under the supervision of Dave, were written and typed up, there was no more work for the editor until Monday night, when the NEWS, faculty adviser, Mr. Ronshaugen, and Dave set to the task of fitting the copy to the dummy. This was a job which usually took them well into the night, and no issue was really wound up until about ten minutes before the copy had to be put on the train late Tuesday morning. Managing Editor this year was John Hawkins. The managing editor is the one member of the NEWS staff who has to be on the ball all the week long. Hawk's work week began on Tuesday morning, when he collected list of the previous week's academic and administrative develop- ments from the faculty adviser. To this list he added various topics of interest to the student body. If he was lucky Hawk was able to assign all the articles to writers before the end of the day. Around Friday the finished articles began to roll in, Features Editor Alford with late copy. 148 The NEWS board looking over some of the past issues and it was .lohn's chief headache to make sure they did come in, by Sunday at the latest. Saturday Hawk made out a list of the articles with their estimated length and gave it to Clapp. Monday night and Tuesday morning he spent attend- ing to last minute details while the editor and the faculty ad- viser were fitting the NEWS together. A great amount of credit must go to the features edi- tor, Dick Alford. On Alfy's shoulders was the burden of writing the editorials. Week after week, issue after issue, it was Alf, and usually Alf alone, who had the job of filling those twenty dreaded inches of editorial space. He was the man best suited for the task, for only he could tread any de- gree of confidence that intricate path between what the fac- ulty wants and what the student body wants. Dick's was a difficult job, and he performed it well. John Marsh, this year's sports editor, must also be com- mended for an exceptionally fine job. Entire responsibility for a whole page of the NEWS was placed in his hands and he did his work capably. John assigned to a particular writer the coverage of a certain sport for the entire season. Occa- sionally he assigned a special feature to a writer. The articles began arriving on his desk on Sunday evening. Thus he had a little more than a day and a half to prepare his part of the NEWS for publication. As he received each article, he proofread it, making minor corrections, or sometimes rewriting a whole story if necessary. Then he himself wrote a headline for each article. Later that night John made out a dummy for his page, and checked that he has the necessary sports pictures. He spent Monday night and Tuesday morning rounding up late de- tails and helping Clapp and Mr. Ronshaugen put the NEWS together. Advertising manager this year was Leigh Faldi. Leigh's task has been to go out into the business world and sell ad- vertising space in the NEWS. Through Leigh's efforts, several advertisers were secured during the year. Ned Hatfield handled the job of circulation manager. Neddy saw to it that the News was put into students' mail- boxes and that wrappers, which have been addressed in Mr. Walker's office, are sent up to the printer, who mails the NEWS out to the parents and alumni of the school. Ned was also in charge of exchanging papers with other schools. Checking late Monday night copy. NRAYQQ At Kent - everyone reads the NEWS. Some of the outstanding stories this year were those covering the Kent Week-end celebration last fall, the Anni- versary Dinner and Mass in New York last March, the Sem- inar held here at the school during Thanksgiving Vacation, and a feature article on Mr. Nadal, Director of Athletics. Each year the editor and the managing editor look for- ward to the annual New York Times journalistic clinic. This year Clapp and Hawkins drove down to New York with Mr. Ronshaugen in February to represent Kent. The hints of the Times staff proved useful to the NEWS' staff. The associate editors this year were Paul Feldman, Fos- ter Devereux, John Holmes, Lance Larson, Allen Stowe, Ar- thur Crisfield, Winslow Harris, and Sergei Berezowsky. The photographers were David Westhorp and Bob Esslinger. Dapper Radar, Kent's efficiency expert, has become a familiar figure to all of us in our five years in the Happy Valley. Flashing his smile wherever he goes, Ray can often he found working on the NEWS or Yearbook, taking excellent pictures, or trying to explain why Johnny gets 5's instead of 3's. 149 J Dave Clapp tries unsuccessfully to convince Westover girls, the audience, and the judges. PUBLIC SPEAKING The major objective of the Public Speaking Society during the year was to arouse more interest in the society and gain more actual debating experience for the members. The officers of the society, John Wing, President, Geof- frey Clark, Vice-President, and Leigh Faldi, Secretary, set out to arouse more interest in the society on the part of the members, by two methods: Giving the fifth form members a greater opportunity to speak, and scheduling more outside debates. It has been felt that the fifth form had tended to be- come apathetic because they did not debate very often. It was also felt that outside debates would encourage better preparation and give better experience, as well as arouse in- terest in the society by the members and the school as a whole. The main emphasis during the fall term was upon gain- ing speaking experience. All the new members were required to give a short talk upon admission. Many other short speeches on varied topics were assigned so that almost every- one spoke by himself before engaging in a debate. Toward the end of the term the program was shifted to a series of three main debates. An attempt was made to include at least one fifth form member on each team. 150 The first major event of the Winter term, and the most important one of the year was a double debate with the Westover School for girls on the subject, Resolved: that the federal Government should grant financial aid to qualified needy high school graduates for higher education. The neg- ative team at Kent consisted of Russell Holmes, David Clapp and Allen Stowe and the affirmative team at Westover con- sisted of John Holmes, David Jones and Paul White. Need- less to say, this event was the best received and attended of the year. Unfortunately the enthusiasm of the participants was not matched by ability, for both Kent teams lost. Another team was defeated in the second outside debate of the year with Hotchkiss. The team, Winslow Harris, Peter Schwindt, and John Bender debated the negative side of the topic, Resolved: that the federal government should grant subsi- dies to secondary education institutions. The remainder of the society's program consisted of formal debates and occa- sional extemporaneous speeches. The Spring term was highlighted by two other outside debates. The first of these was the almost traditional debate with the Williams College freshmem. The subject was, Re- solved: that Red China should be admitted to the U. N. Representing Kent, on the negative were Rusty Wing and Sergei Berezowsky. After a very interesting and close debate the freshmen won by a split decision of 2 - 1. The closest that the society came to success was in a two-man debate with Gunnery defending the negative side of the subject, Resolved: that the Supreme Court decision on Segregation be enforced in the next 5 years. The judges decided that the debate was a tie since the Kent team consisting of Peter Schwindt and Paul White had the better content and the Gunnery team, the better presentation. On Father's Week- Public speaking officers Faldi, Wing. and Clark. Westover speaker convinces self, opponents, audience, and judges. end was the annual Lawson Tancred Memorial Oratorical Contest. The three contestants were John Holmes, who spoke on Law and Freedom, David Jones, who spoke on the Eng- lish Speaking Union and William Weber, who spoke on the advancement made in the Middle East. On Prize day Wil- liam Weber was announced as the winner. While the Public Speaking Society had little success in its outside debates, several encouraging trends developed. The fifth form was given considerably more debating ex- perience, especially in outside debates. This 'experience should result in an improvement in the quality of Kent de- bating teams. There were more outside debates with other schools during the year than in any other. The interest which these debates aroused indicates a large area for development. Another important innovation during the year was the adop- tion of the two-man type debate used in most interscholastic debating. The use of this form prepares the members of the society better for debates with other schools and also for de- bating in college. 151 In accordance with a tradition that was instituted several years ago, all candidates for club officers were re- quired to give campaign speeches upon nomination. Elected as officers for the coming year were Peter Schwindt, Russell Holmes and Rodger Salman. In order to insure themselves of a more successful So- ciety next year the officers for the class of 1957 have insti- tuted a plan whereby the membership of the society shall be more limited than in the past. The faculty adviser to the society was Mr. Howard Delano, master of the third and sixth form speech courses. The society was fortunate in having Mr. Delano as itsladviser in that he has had considerable experience in debating as a student at the University Vermont and as debate coach and instructor at Howe Military. Mr, Secretary, call the roll. THE 1956 KENT Here is your 1956 KENT - your chronicle of the people, the places, the activities, and the events that affected your life at Kent. Here are your masters, your friends, the organizations to which you belonged, the ball teams you played for, and the dances to which you went, all caught by the camera and the pen to make a permanent record for you. This Yearbook is no doubt as much a form project as anything that the class has undertaken. The work involved was of such magnitude that it would have been impossible for the small staff to complete the job without help. Conse- quently all the boys of the class of '56 contributed to the Yearbook to various extents and aided the editor a great deal with their writing. The task was not an easy one. Major and minor crises occurred at regular intervals, but when the going seemed roughest there always seemed to be people around who were glad to lend a helping hand. Although the majority of the work was done in the spring term, the yearbook actually began to take shape last fall. Many ads were gathered, thanks to Leigh Faldi and Bob Casey. These two handled the business end of the work in efficient fashion, securing a large number of ads from this vicinity and also from New York. Throughout the year sports pictures were sold mainly through the efforts of editor Alf along with his indispensable number two man, Johnny Marsh. In the spring came the dummy layout, photographs of all activities, sixth form informals, and more than fifty thousand written words. It was during this time that Alf and Johnny, with a good deal of help from sports editor Lance Larson, literally put together the yearbook. Speaking of Searching for a suitable picture to fill a space. 152 The Yearbook staff at work on final copy. photographers, the three working for the yearbook this year have turned in excellent work. One of the aims of this year's editor was to have as many good pictures as possible scat- tered through the pages, and Westhorp, Esslinger, and Mr. Ronsbaugen really came through in fine style. The pictures turned out by the boys were invaluable, and Mr. Ronshau- gen's efforts both as' photographer and as faculty adviser have helped to make this 1956 KENT a success. Harris, Hawkins, Waring, Lukens, and many others took over the typing the vast amount of material gathered. Dave Clapp applied his talents to the project of writing the form history, and did an excellent job. Rusty Wing worked hard fixing up the activities section. Meanwhile Alf and Johnny organized and directed all this work from their head- quarters in the yearbook room, doing a good deal of the work themselves. A thousand things remained to be done - pictures had to be retaken, articles rewritten, and many separate sections had to be transformed into a whole. As many of these details that could be completed before graduation were, but at the commencement exercises there were prizes awarded and speeches given that had to be in- cluded as part of the 1956 KENT. Editor Alf, Johnny, and Lance returned the following Monday to complete the work and prepare the book, except for the Henley article, for pub- lication. After several days of constant work the book was ready. Mr. Ronshaugen put on his final approval and it was sent to the publishers July 1. Those above are the staff who did the job of planning and writing the yearbook. They hope that their efforts on the 1956 KENT has been to your liking. THE CAULDRON After an inactive year, the CAULDRON was success- fully put back into circulation in 1956, under the able lea- dership of Bill Weber, editor-in-chief, and Pete Waring, managing editor. The three issues were distributed both to students and faculty. Setting immediately to the job at hand, the Board began in October to establish the machinery necessary for the pub- lication of any literary magazine. Copy was submitted to any Board member, who was to place it in the hands of the edi- tor or the managing editor by a predetermined deadline. Each article underwent a preliminary scanning by the Board member receiving it. Usually on the first weekend after the copy deadline, the Board convened formally to make the pre- liminary selections for the issue, and to discuss questions of editorial policy. It was throughout the succeeding week that many hours of work went into the final preparation of that copy which had been selected for publication. And this was Art Editor Damour's busiest period too, when he received and judged numerous cartoons, and illustrations. Then came the final assembly stage. The Sunday before the mailing deadline, the Board met, prepared to work until the issue was ready for publication. Senior Copy Editors Al Stowe and Foster Devereux proof-read feverishly for typing errors, misspelt words, and grammatical mistakes. Denis Damour put finishing touches on his cover design and other artistic aspects of the magazine. About this time Johnny Marsh, technical editor, began planning his layout for the issue itself. Waring and Weber constantly made last minute changes and decisions in an attempt to keep the apparent confusion at least partially organized. By the evening of that Sunday, the issue was usually ready for final assembly. It will be a long time before the seniors of the '56 CAULDRON Board forget the all-night sessions needed to put together the magazine in its most appealing form. We believe that this final meeting, all in one sitting, was of great importance in producing a publication of interest and con- tinuity. no B 99 O.

In the spring of 1955 this organization was revised and enlarged so that there are now twenty members. Each spring Father Patter- son appoints ten fifth formers who together with the old fifth formers of that year, are the offical hosts for the next school year beginning in the fall. The first weekend of the present school year saw them participate in the organization and running of Kent Week- end. During this weekend over 2000 alumni and friends of the school were guests of the school. The members of the society parked cars, registered the guests, served refresh- ments at teas, waited at the dance, and were available at all times to help visitors. The society also helped out in the same way at week- ends for the fathers and mothers. The mothers' weekend saw an unusal twist in the duties of the members for due to the floods, the boys had to push and pull the mothers' cars out of the North Dorm field. Other important weekends on which the society helped out were Winter Carnival, K Day, and Dance Weekends. At K Day they were on hand at the crew races to keep order and be ready to help visitors. At the Winter Carnival they met the girls who journeyed here to trip the light fantastic with Kenties, and also helped at the dedication of Pater's Rink, recently completed. We of the society would like to express our thanks to Mr. Howard, our faculty adviser, for his help and cooperation throughout the year. We would glso like to thank the Mol- lenhauers and the faculty wives who helped us at the recep- tions and teas.

The schedule of matches included such schools as Wooster ftwicej, Fairfield ftwicej, and Hou- satonic Valley Regional High School foncej for the first time. The final record was 1-4. The first match of the year was with Fairfield Prep School at Fairfield. The first five, Marsh, Harris I, Dunning Dunning, Perry and Thayer contemplate moves. I, Crunden, and Reimer made the trip. Also taken along for experience were the numbers six and seven men, Thayer and Perry. Fairfield came out on top in a close encounter 3-2, while the exhibition matches split one for Perry of Kent, one for Fairfield. In the return match at Kent several weeks later, Fairfield was also victorious 3-2, with Crunden and Dunning winning. The match with Housatonic Valley was notable as the first match between the schools. This is only the third year of chess activity at the school, and they are trying to build up a schedule. Kent was victorious this time, by a count of 5-0, the only victory of the season. The final matches of the year were with Wooster, whose team was in several tournaments, playing in over ten mat- ches this year. Due to the heaviness of their schedule, the season was carried over into spring term for the first time, THE CHESSCLUB vrJ0HN19 As head of John Marsh's powerful pawn pushers, John Conover will long be remembered as a good natured guy and a proud poppa. His friendly smile and winter-time knickers will be familiar 155 when Wooster came here for the return encounter. They won both matches, the first 3-2, with Marsh and Dunning winning, and the second, 316-116, with Thayer winning and Perry stalemating. One major change in this year's activities was the change in the meeting system which had been in effect for the last few years. This year saw no meeting except for the election of officers and for occasional information as to rank. The draw for matches was posted bi-weekly, and the results were turned in to Vice-president Crunden. This eliminated com- petition with other activities, and allowed members to play when they wished, rather than at any specific meeting time. Perhaps the most obvious result of this, if rumors of a match with Westover can be counted out, is the increase of active members from somewhere around twenty to thirty-seven. Another change was in the election of officers. Due to the heavy load which most sixth formers have, it was de- cided to have underformers in the offices of vice-president and secretary, and have these officers attend to keeping the ladder up to date and arrange outside competition. Elected in the fall were Bob Crunden as vice-president, and .lim Perry secretary. John Marsh was this year's president. An exciting match with Regional High. THE ART CLUB This year the Art Club moved to new quarters in the new Auditorium. This immediate freedom of movement, after the cramped quarters in the old Library attic, brought many boys down to see what went on. The Club during ,55-,56 was comprised mostly of un- derformers who were not able to take the Art Fundamentals course offered to the fifth and sixth formers. This interest and industry turned out few really valuable objects, but by working by various times on problems given by the adviser, and accepting his criticism, theyshowed considerable im- provement. Several exhibitions shown in the Lecture Room this year were sponsored by the Art Club. Outstanding among these was a collection of Canadian paintings which Mr. Student work in painting and sculpture was on display in the Lecture Room this spring. STEVE Anyone dropping into Kent's modem Art room can usually find Mr. Hustvedt teaching an em- bryo Da Vinci or turning out another one of his own excellent paintings. Steve, with his authen- tic backdrops and his fine acting, has also done a great deal for dramatics. A typical Wednesday night in the Art Room under the supervision of Mr. Hustvedt Rourke consented to exhibit. His collection is among the best of its kind and the exhibit drew a great deal of atten- tion. Along with the exhibit a movie on Canadian landscape painting was shown. Also there was a large exhibition set up by the members of the Art Club and art courses, in which a wide range of media was exhibited. An artist of the week contest was sponsored by the club. It was won by Fred Moffatt. It is hoped that in coming years the many underformers can be urged to complete more projects in their' spare time, so as to stimulate competition. For the first time the Art Club offered faculty mem- bership to masters and their wives who wished to use the facilities of the Art Room during the evenings. This proved a rather successful experiment, and will be continued. Stephen Hustvedt, the faculty adviser and art master at the school, gave criticism to the members during the regu- lar Wednesday night sessions. Every few weeks he would present to the Club a sketching problem involving the use of art fundamentals. Dick Harriss polishes a new table under a watchful eye. One of the newest extra curricular activities at Kent is the Woodworking Club, founded this year. Started during winter term under the direction of Russell Parcells of the Kent School staff, the club has attracted many woodworking enthusiasts and hobbyists. The boys of the club,have turned their energies to many useful projects, both for their rooms at school and for their homes. Projects have ranged from bookcases and small tables to larger tables and cases, as well as many knicknacks. The club has been divided into three one-hour sessions, meeting on Sunday afternoons and on Sunday and Wednes- day evenings, to facilitate the use of the equipment. The school has made available a full range of power and hand tools for the use of the club, and the workshop is located in the new auditorium. With the equipment it is possible to make nearly any size project. For example, one of the pro- posed projects for the club consisted making a skiff for the school sailing fleet, under the direction of Mr. Parcells. With Mr. Parcells' excellent technical service, the year must be considered to be a successful one from the quality and quantity of completed projects. trious. WOODWORKING The large membership of the club listed members from every form in the school, proving the support of the student body. The sixth formers were Dick Harriss, Jeff Clark, Dave Lukens, and Ted Dartford. Fifth formers were Bruce Tar- box, Fred Underwood, Sean Sculley, Hank Truslow, John Rorke, John Parker, and Pete Dunning. The fourth form had a large representation with Fisher, Cruden, Butts, Don Larson, Canterbury, Graae, Hamilton, and Hanf. The third form was represented by nine members including Wedell, Gullingsurd, Jones, Clark, Petty, Murray, Elliot, Estey, and Morris. The second formers were Bright, Stock, Cordon, Smith, Sweitzer, Johnson, and O,Brien. This is an encourag- ing response for such a new organization. 'i Creative woodworkers at work.

This past year, the Bell Ringers' Guild has been more active and has accomplished more than any other Guild in recent years. With five members returning from last year's first band, the Guild looked forward to a good year. Under the direction of Co-chairmen John Marsh and Sherb Merrill and the faculty adviser William Howard, mimeographed information was sent to members during the summer to prepare a program for Kent Weekend held Sep- tember 16-17. Again over the Thanksgiving Holidays, eight boys returned to ring for the Kent Seminar held November 26-28. Starting out the year only knowing Plain Hunting and Plain Grandsire Doubles, the first band increased their repertoire by learning the many different variations of the Grandsire method. With the aid of two more bells they soon learned Grandsire Triples along with its variations. Turning to new fields, they learned the Stedman principle and rang Stedman Doubles. .1 A year ago last fall at the wedding of Patricia Worthing- ton, the chiming hammers on the bells were broken. Damp weather had shrunk the ropes so that the clappers were pulled up in the way of the swinging bells. As the boys rang, several castings were snapped. At the beginning of this year the set was replaced and once again hymns were played at the Sunday night services. In the fall much enthusiasm for the art of change ring- ing was shown by the new members. As soon as the chair- men had reduced the membership to working size, the new boys began to learn the fundamentals of ringing. This year was the twenty-fifth anniversary of the Bell Ringersi Guild. The Bell Tower was built and the bells poured in 1931, and the Guild was instituted the following year. To commemorate this occasion the first band has been record- ing the different courses on tape.

We of '56 first met Willy in his seem- ingly-impossihle Math class and ever since then we have admired his straight-forward and business- like appearance. As adviser of the Bell Ringers this year Mr. Howard has done his usual good job. 158 MUSIC SOCIETY This past year has been a very successful one for the Music Society. One might say that this was a year of altera- tion for the club as a whole. Mr. Willoughby Newton, who had served in the past as the faculty adviser to the club, was on leave of absence during the past year. Consequently, a new adviser had to be picked, so Fr. William Penfield acted as the faculty head for the year. The Music Room, situated in the Dining Hall, was in bad need of repair, as was made evident in the early weeks of the fall. The room had become a storage area for broken furniture, a collection of old rec- ords, which have been replaced by their long playing con- terparts, an old piano, and a large amount of trash. There was no room for the members to listen to their own records, so Fr. Penfield and the Society's committee redecorated the room. This job was completed by Thanksgiving vacation. All the extra furniture was removed, and much of the old was repaired. Using the mattresses that were left over after the school beds were redone, the Committee made a new couch. Setting up the machine for a session. PANTHER Although he feels more at home around study halls than spinning records, Fr. Penfield has done a good job as adviser of the Music Society this year. Arriving at Kent our fourth form year, Fr. Penfield immediately became known as a good athlete and as an avid music lover, both jazz and long hair. Some musicians hit it off. The old records were removed to a safer place and stored where there was room. The redecorated room was throughly cleaned once a month at least so that it would never again become so out of hand. The Society met twice a week, on Wednesday and Sun- day nights. One committee member would be in charge of the meeting and he would play records from a certain pre- selected medium, such as jazz, coneerti, opera, symphonies, or musical comedies. Any members of the Society were al- lowed to use the room at any time as long as he was accom- panied by a member of the Committee. Again this year the Society had the largest number of members as compared with other extra-curricular activities. Besides these regular meetings the Society scheduled a talk by Mr. Rourke on Gil- bert and Sullivan and a Yale jazz concert. High Fidelity and Downbeat magazines were donated to the Library this year by the Society. The Committee for the year were: Dick Alford, Monroe Chapman, and John Hawkins from the sixth formg John Wellington and Fred Underwood from the fifth formg and Woodruff and Fisher from the fourth form. DRAMATICS GEORGE Although Mr. Delano has completed only one year as a master at Kent, we have all come to know him very well. ln his extra-curricular capacity as faculty adviser to Public Speaking and Dramatics Club, George has done much to improve the ability of the members. As adviser of each of these organizations Mr. Delano has done a tremendous job and well deserves our praise. ln the play See How They Run the officer tries to find the real Vicar Lionel Troop. Dramatics has seen one of its best years the 1955-1956 season. This is in a large part due to the fact that Kent's new Auditorium has been fully equipped with everything that the Dramatics Club needs, from a new stage with exten- sive lighting effects to an oil cloth to cover the make-up table. The new stage this year is about one third larger than Kent's old one and has the advantage of wings in which in- tricate scenery can be placed. Also, the lighting this year is entirely new. From an enamelled control board in the wing, the operator can control every light, spot light, color border light and floor light in the auditorium. For a make-up and dressing room the actors have the small dining room which 160 offers them space and easy access to the stage. Probably one of the most interesting new additions are the two speakers flanking the stage, from which intermission music flows. Besides these technical improvements, the Dramaties Club has had the advantage of the help of a new adviser. Mr. Delano, this year's speech teacher, has done a great deal to further dramatics at Kent with a shrewd choice of pro- ductions and development of technical effects. He has also put in many hours with individuals in an attempt to improve their native acting ability. The Dramatics Club's fall production was the comedy, Harvey.,' The play was mainly concerned with the prob- lems of Elwood P. Dowd, played by Terry Smith, who had as a faithful friend a six-foot tall rabbit, and his family. Other players, Mrs. Gifford and Dennis Damour turned in excellent performances for the evening. Promoting for Harvey was Joe Hinkley. John Well- ington was the stage manager for the production, Jack Det- wiler and Mac Hicks shared the lighting honors, while the man responsible for properties was John Elliott. Dowd at the sanitarium discussing his friend, Harvey, in the play Harvey. ford from left to right. In the winter term, Dramatics attempted sometlfing new in a Variety Show. The basic set on the stage was a cheese- cloth curtain, which could be used as a solid curtain or a silhouette screen according to the use of the lighting. In this way, many new and different effects kept the show flowing from one act to another. The show started off with a short farce called Box ana Cox, with Daniel Richter, John Wellington and Linda Byrnes. The second act was a Charleston exhibit by Jimmy Mell and George Odom. Following them was a barbershop quartet with Mr. Hustvedt, Mr. Partridge, Mr. Mattoon, Mr. Maillett, and Mr. Delano. Their customers were Jimmy Mell, Tom Dunning, Peterson, and Larry Casserley. Mr. Hustvedt, as a German professor, gave a lecture on the hiccough. The Bakeris Dozen then sang a few selections among which was Bill Weber's I Talked Toxlhe Trees. Jimmy Mell came on A scene from Harvey, with Dan Richter, Terry Smith and Mrs. Gif- The masters' Barbershop Quartet in the Variety Show. again and this time gave a tap dancing exhibition. A musical interlude followed by the Kent School Trio, with Dave Cur- tiss and Hugo Robertson on the electric guitars and Gil Stan- ley on the snare drums. They were joined by Pete Magnuson and Drax Williams playing the harmonicas. Mr. Delano ended the affair with a spectacular knife throwing act, cli- maxed by a can-can featuring several sixth formers. For the Dramatics Club's final presentation of the year, Mr. Delano decided on See How Thgf Run, a farce in three acts. In this play there was an exciting mix-up in people's identities as John Wellington, John Parker, Sherb Merrill, and Terry Smith all pose as the same man - Vicar Lionel Troop. Carl Hicks, Mr. Maillet, and Mrs. Gifford search for evidence to prove the proper indentity bfleach man. Finally, the entire situation is cleared up and allhare allowed to con- tinue their lives peacefully. The promoter for See How They Run was Steve Thayer. Properties manager was John Elliot, and John Sterne took care of the lighting. The stage crew for the Dramatic Club this year consists of Preusse, Buckner, Sowerby, Monsarrat, and Masonf A scene from the Variety Show. 161 The second form: Left to Right, Front Row: Hughes, Anderson, Knapp, Peterson, O'Brien, Baldwin, Harper, Mitchell, Smithies, Alexander, Alford, Clapp, Mell Stock, Thayer, Skinner, Bright, Sweitzer, W.

Inevitably some of us had wondered, . Where is the North Dorm? We soon became adjusted and fell in with the daily grind. Under our first form officers, Branny Sweitzer, Blake Smith, and Lucien Fouke, we started under way. Some of the things we did were not what you would call good, but there was a marked improvement in some ways as we went. The talent of our form was marked as Pete Alford, Jim Mell, Hugh Hardcastle were accepted into the Glee Club. In the Variety Show Jim Mell and George Odom of '60 danced their way to local stardom. Entertaiment at the Second Form Booth. The quality of the form improved and we hit our high point with fourteen formmates on the Honor Roll for the first semester. Lead by Walt Moody as well as Chris Clapp and Joe Bright, we made our best attempt scholastically. On the playing field we had Pete May, Pancho Baiter, and Blake Smith starring in league football. When the ice came we were well represented on the Junior Hockey team with six of our class on the squad. Spring arrived in the Happy Valley and we saw John Skinner, Joe Bright, and Frank Thayer as our new form of- ficers. These three, in collaboration with Mr. Smith and Mr. Conover, our form advisers from the faculty, arranged for a form picinic at Macedonia Creek above the school farm. Following a hearty meal of hamburger, potato chips, and punch, we engaged in the Kentie's pastime, Frisbee, and paper plate racing on the stream. The novelty of crew on the rowing machines soon wore off after toiling on the river. On the baseball diamond we had Pete May pitching for the second team. Frank Thayer climbed to the top of the Hoosie club tennis ladder. As Spring fever halted most excessive brain work, the approaching exams presented just worry. As in the midyears, several lads emerged successfully from the final exams. Now everyone is tense as we rapidly near vacation. The Class of '56 has disappeared except for our Henley material. Faces beam at the thought of the three months of loafing in view. THIRD FORM When the Class of '59 returned to Kent for the start of its third form year, some twenty new members were on hand, ranging from Sugar Holroyde to the Friendly Wazir. As classes began we were introduced to Rugged Ralph, with his un- U -ish paragraphs, and to George, in whose Barber Shop Tom Dunning and Chumley Casserley made their con- tribution to Kent dramatics. Soon we elected Lowell Johnston class president, .lohn Williams vice-president, and Gurney Williams secretary. Sportwise, members of the class won five letters and eight 2nds . Pete Murray got two letters, for soccer and hockey, Charlie Pagano got one in soccer, Fergy one in wrestling, and Robin Wilkins one in tennis. The eight 2nds,' went to one wrestler, two members of the second basketball team, two of second hockey, and three of second baseball. Wherever there was activity at Kent, our form was well represented. We placed members on varsity hours, the first string stage crew, the school sailing team, the Great Mob, and the Terrarian Competition. Fred Sharman showed con- siderable ability as a fireman, and Pete Sowerby gained schoolwide acclaim for his plate scraping prowess. Mention should be made of our occasional revels in the Study, such as the one illustrated in our informal picture. Notable there are Spaz Spafford fwho is fan-crazyj and Prep Gurney fwho is seasickl. With the arrival of midyears the Rising Sun shone on most of us, but Tombo Clark began to lead the school as a matter of course. Our form officers for the second half year were .lon Truslow, Pete Murray, and Grant Rudnicki. The third form: Left to right, Front Row: Holroyde, Snyder, Noriega, Jones, How- gate, Clark, Charles, Murray, Truslow, Rudnicki, Larsen, Vrooman, Brown, Mon sarrat, Yang, Dunning, Casserley, Sowerby. Second Row: Schonfeld, Williams Withey, Gurney, Preusse, Buck, Freeman, Shar-man, Spafford, Estey, Sterne, 'N QA Q A Sunday night hack in the Study. The '59 Press, put out by Whitey Gullingsrud and Leo Damrosch, managed six single sheet issues during the Spring Term, featuring Gurney Williams' popular poetry and mak- ing Chumley famous for his greasy goatskin shorts and his well-fed ties. Messrs. de Villafranca and Costin arranged an end of- the-term dinner and picnic for us. At the school elections Lowell Johnston, Jon Truslow, and Gurney Williams were chosen our new officers. We will not easily have forgotten the fiftieth anniver- sary celebration when we return to Kent for our twenty-fifth reunion in the year 1984. Robertson, G. Gurney, Petty, Ruckner, Sidebottom, Gullingsrud, Fouke, Dam- rosch, Wedell, Miller.

From the moment we crossed the bridge in September until we were freed in June, we had the most successful year of our Kent careers. Academically, '58 breezed through a year touted for its killing curriculum, eclipsing all honor roll marks. In the last two indicators we had 25 on the honor roll, which earned us a holiday, and 28 on the final indicator, to lead the school. The George Hodges Bartlett Prize, presented to the best student in Modern History, was given to John Hyland at the underform prize dinner. Athletically, the class of 1958 had an outstanding year, too. Two fourth formers, Schoel and Cripekoven, received their K's for playing on the undefeated football team. For wrestling on the second undefeated team of the year Schoel, Zadra, and Baiter recieved their K's. Another fourth former, Hyland, was awarded the wrestling trophy for most improvement during the season. Schoel also received a K crossed oars for rowing on the second crew in the Spring, and Nautical Ned Hobbs skippered the second baseball squad. With this nucleus of first team athletes, '58 can look forward to an enviable record in sports two years from now. x The class of '58 was outstanding in other fields, too.

Later in the Spring Schoel and Canterbury started a campaign, not unlike the annual spring sweepstakes, to gar- ner the prize for excellence in nature study. Bob Schoel managed to win for the second time. None of us are likely to forget the celebration of Kent s fiftieth with all its opportunities for extra voluntary work.

FIFTH FORM This year the class of '57 began to assume responsibili- ties by taking over the study halls. As an experiment, the class initiated a new system of form study halls with a single fifth former in charge of each. This system proved more ef- ficient than the old one and will be continued in the future. The fifth was also given the privileges of late night study hall and of studying in the Library during the regular study hall time. Fall term two stalwart brothers named Sullivan left the backwoods of Maine to join the class. They both turned in outstanding performances on Kent's undefeated football team as did Bruce Tarbox and Mike Tooman. Meanwhile the soccer squad was strengthened by a record number of fifth formers, and in the winter the Fryberger twins man- aged to outskate all opposition on Pater's Rink. '57 was also well represented on other teams while Mike Tooman and Dick Reed won coveted berths on the Henley crew, the former being elected next year's captain. The fifth form proved its prowess in the classroom as well as on the athletic field this year. Nick Joukovsky, Peter Schwindt, and Jerry Sullivan took turns leading the form, while about fifteen others maintained steady honor roll averages. Bailey, Joukovsky, Schwindt were also elected to the newly formed Students' Guild. The class of '57 was fortunate to have a record of three dances this year. All were held jointly with the sixth form. Girls from Dobbs and Ethel Walkers teamed up to make the fall a big hit. Dobbs came again in February for the gala Winter Carnival which featured a supper, dance and a skat- , ing party. 165 5 On Sunday, May 20, the traditional tapping ceremony was held in the Chapel. At this time, Dick Baker, Roger MacMillan and Jerry Sullivan were tapped prefects and Henry Truslow became the Senior Prefect for 1957. David Curtiss and Lee Loring were named Chapel heads as Sacris- tan and Verger respectively. Sean Sculley was tapped as Edi- tor of the NEWS, while Jerry Turnbull and Peter Schwindt became Steward and Library Proctor. The following Thursday the Class of '57 officially as- sume their responsibilities and George Coyne was announced as the sixth form council member. Enjoying the Dance Weekend football game.
