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.

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. . .
