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

llanee Weekend was. for many reasons. the higll point of the fall term. Un Saturday, the two teams elimaxed an outstanding season by defeating Hotehkiss in both eneounters. The soeeer team. by far the most sue-eessful that Kent has ever seen, finished up with a 6-2 reeord. The football team tallied its sixth straight win of the season. thus eompleting a seeond undefeated eampaign under ,lake Mefiandless. The danee was very sueeessful also. Muleh Baker's Margie and Hank Trus- lowis Mareia were the most renowned dates and all the underformers gave them a seeond glance. The Towns- mo-n played in the Sports Building deeorated in a grotto motif. and all seemed to agree that all was per- feet. Dos llombres' Bakers Dozen harmonized for a 'fake WNY, ,MJ 5 ? Z a - Q Q X X few numbers during intermission. and Dog strummed a few basie ehords in the trio. Sunday was frigid. but the pienie was held in spite of the eold. The afternoon was spent pursuing diversions not possible without the girls. who seemed to like Kent in spite of its weather. The next weekend the elass boarded busses bound for New Haven and the Yale-Prineeton game. lt was a miserable day, and those of us on the football team hoped that this might give the underdogs of Prineeton ,lake's alma mater. a ehanee to overcome the Ellis. However, this proved not to be the ease. as Yale dom- inated the play throughout the game and easily handed the Tigers a defeat. There were several busses from Miss Porter's of Farmington. but we never did see any of the oeeupants. Most of us were driven to the point of distraetion by the hordes of raeeoon-eoated. ulartini- mixing eollege grads sprawling on blankets or moving about the eampus in their Bentleys with built-in bars. At the football banquet. Jerry Sullivan was eon- gratulated along with the rest of the team for the fine season. The Mitehell Trophy was awarded to the entire team. one of the strongest in Kentis history. At the soeeer banquet. the liaptain's liup was presented by Drax williams to ,Terry Turnbull. Pete Kuhn was awarded the Wiinlaw Trophy for spirit and ability. Thanksgiving vaeation was marked by brevity twe had to be baek by Saturday nightl and frustration on the part of many who eould not see the H arvard-Yale game. Arriving baek at sehool. we were optimistie about the winter teams whieh were starting to praetiee. When the iee was made ready. Bob and Jerry Fryberger led the drills. whipping the squad into shape. Nort Cage led a host of experieneed wrestlers. and great optimism was expressed for the eoming season. s SN
