The Sullivans soon made it clear that they, too, were of outstanding ability in the sport, with Jack easily gaining the starting slot in center field, and brother Jerry squatting behind the plate. Both proved to be excellent hitters, and boosted the team a great deal. Steve Plowden-Wardlaw, Mulch Baker, Juan Putnam, and Steve Thayer burned up the courts for '57. Although their record was mediocre, we knew that it was a building year toward next year's squad. Another milestone occurred when Father Patterson instituted the Guild. Nick Joukovsky, Merrill Bailey, and Pedro Schwindt were elected as charter members of the honorary society. As the term progressed, there was much specula- tion as to who would be our leaders for sixth form year. In May we experienced our first taste of College Boards and decided that they were not any too easy. The tapping ceremony finally came. Peter Sch- windt was tapped as library proctor, and Jerry Tumbull was appointed dining hall steward. Sean Scully became editor-in-chief of the News, and Dog Curtiss and Lee Loring were to be the chapel heads. Then Dick Baker, Roger MacMillan, and Jerry Sullivan were chased up the aisle as prefects Finally the big moment came, and Dick Baiter tapped Hank Truslow as senior prefect, amid deafening cheers. A week later we learned that we had elected Whitey Coyne as our sixth form Council member. Nick Jouko- vsky and Merrill Bailey were' to be editors of the year- book and Cauldron respectively and Fred Underwood was announced as the new chairman of Blue Key. After deciding that our form colors should be dark red on black, we journeyed up to Numeral Rock with the paint buckets. Sean Sculley utilized his artistic talent -. by drawing les jeunes filles en nude on formmates backs. Socks White was a great help in accomplishing the heavy work, such as the lowering of the log scaffold over the face of the rock. At the end-of-term picnics, Whitey Coyne was elected captain of the 1957 baseball team, while Plowdy- Wardlaw copped that honor among the returning net- men. Dos Hombres Tooman was elected crew captain for the coming year. The school rejoiced when it was decided that the first crew would represent Kent and the United States at the Royal Henley Regatta. When Prize Day came, we could hardly believe that next year it would be we who would be wearing the white ducks and blazers, Hank Truslow expressed hope for the coming year, as ours was the class which was to embark on the second half-century of Kent. Our administration moved smoothly into a position of res- ponsibility, and after exams we left for our last summer vacation as Kent students.

Alumni Weekend brought many of the old grads back to the school. They spent their time watching the soccer and football teams scrimmage and exchanging stories of their old Kent days. A football rally preceeded the first football game with Gunnery in which the team brought back a 41-0 victory to prove that the high hopes for them were not unwarranted. Both Sullivans. Mike Tlltblllilll. Bruce Tarbox, and Hank Truslow dominated the baekfield play. while Dick Baker, Nort Gage, Dick Reed. and Whitey Coyne held the line together. The school was visited by Tubby Clayton who re- presented the Winant Volunteers of London, whose job entails social work in that city's bombed East End. He urged us to consider helping them in a fine cause. Extra-curricular activities soon commenced. Peter Schwindt quickly organized the Public Speaking Soc- iety. whileiVlike Tooman and Lee Loring assisted Mr. Gilliam in getting the Glee Club rehearsals underway. Midway in October, we received a new member into the form from Haiti. Carson Charleston, soon dubbed with the nickname Boola , made a welcome addition to the community. French students were pleased with the arrival of Mr. Georges Ferir, who taught at Kent this year under the auspices of a Fullbright grant. Mr. Ferir is from Belgium. where Mr. Gifford is now teaching under a similar grant. John Halfnight, our English exchange student, finally arrived and it was not long before we all knew the Lime well and were amused with his fresh foreign approach to Kent life. The first indicator proved that the summer months had dulled even the most acute minds in the form as only six members made the scroll. Mother's Weekend brought continued success to the teams as soccer trounced Canterbury 6-0 and foot- ball dowued Taft 31-0. During the weekend. the Glee Club gave its first performance of the year and was well received. The term seemed to be going very well at the mid- point with a fine school morale. The prefects and the sixth form officers were doing fine jobs in their respec- tive areas of responsibility. The new boys seemed to be working into the routine with few exceptions. The traditional carnival was held successfully un- der the direction of Steve Plowden-Wardlaw. even though bad weather forced the proceedings into the Sports Building. As the presidential elections drew near, Pedro Schwindt conducted a poll to discern the school's atti- tude toward the candidates. Ike swamped Adlai, 24-2-38. When the next indicator rolled around, the form ap- peared to have gotten on the stick. for fourteen of the brethren made the scroll, with Pedro Schwindt nabbing high honors. is - -1555.1
