l i W: tr' Bruce was also known for his delicatessen, which was finally exposed during one stink. The hallway sixth formers ate for weeks after the discovery. The coming of xs inter term brought new enthusiasm into the scene, Mike Tooman played for the second haskcthall team, and Paul White won his letter in wrestling, while Don Porter and Whitey Nlauldin graeed the second team mats. lliek Brown was the most hopeful hockey prospect in the form as he made the seeond team. News of the death of Martha Armstrong sorrowed us greatly, and the whole community reflected deep regret at her passing. Much around the school was changed during this year. The Old Main building was moved to its present location by the south tennis courts, and the road through the campus was grassed over. Un Father's Weekend, ground was broken for the new Sports Building. Wrhitey Coyne and Lee Loring played for the see- ond baseball team, while Steve Plowden-Wardlaw look- ed promising on the second tennis team. Whitey Mauldin, rowing six on the first Hoosies. was the most advanced oarsman in the form. Toward the end of the term the school elected Lee Loring, Whitey Coyne and Hank Truslow as our Coun- cil members for fourth form year. Nick ,Ioukovsky and Merrill Bailey shared the academic honors for the year with identical averages of 86.67. Soon our third form year drew to a close, and we departed for our summer vacations.

As the term progressed, various new members of the form became renowned throughout the school for their individualistic traits. We had not been in school long before we became aware that we had inherited a most eccentric export from the Mid-west, George Gage. Most of us gazed in awe at this long-haired lad with the thick horn-rim med glasses. Once, during supper, George demonstrated that the can-can could be performed on top of a serving table, much to the amusement of the school and to the displeasure of the Senior Prefect. Dave Cnrtiss was soon tagged with the nickname of Dog , and showed his prowess on the guitar while playing with the Kentones. We were pleased with our new masters. Rugged Ralph Ritchie drilled us on the finer points of grammar and tried to instill in us the fact that Lester day was gravy day. Mr. Smith, after much haranguing, finally got ns to realize that it was absolutely worthless if we didn't get the given in the proof. It was a unique experience to have Bear Brown for Latin, and all of us turned in prairie papers Qwith wide open spacesj at one time or another. Bob Fuller never ceased to amaze Mr. Humphreys as he reported a score of ninety per cent or better on all of his denominator tests, while scoring in the low twenties on his indicator tests. As the year progressed the form showed more and more stability and cohesiveness. The first north hallway of the library showed perhaps the most spirit. Speedy Howell, the hapless inspector of the hallway, was con- tinually hailed with derisive comment. Owing to this, he stung our formmates more hours than any three other sixth formers. Nort Gage will never forget the time he was hid- ing behind his door, waiting to jump the next person to enter. When the door opened Nort placed a well- aimed foot in a strategic area of his victim, only to find that it was, of all people, Father Pat. Over in the North Dorm, Sandy Allen, Rumba Harriss, Whitey Mauldin, and Don Porter wielded power. Sandy could be found any time lying on his bed, scan- tily clad, reading one of his unparalleled collection of paper-backs. Once in the Club Norge, fifth former King McCreery stumbled into an unfortunate incident. Feeling his coming power a little prematurely and having threatened Bruce Tarbox and Whitey Mauldin with a cold shower if they were late to bed, he found himself being roughly and briskly borne into said shower room where he was thoroughly drenched, clothes and all.
