CT 1959 KENT KENT SCHOOL KENT, CONN. Gel me roil a XII by Fcininger Museum of Art, Rhode Island School of Design Each Monday evening fifth form year we sat in a darkened lecture room viewing slides of art masterpieces and listening attentively to a conservatively dressed scholar. At first we failed to appreciate the instruction we were receiving, but gradually we discovered not only that there were differences in the quality of painting, sculpture and architecture, but also that we were now able to differentiate between good and bad art. As this understanding grew, we found ourselves more perceptive of our surroundings, whether in an art museum or rowing on the river. For the first time we were aware of the problems of perception and perspective, the subtle differences of color, and the numerous challenges an architect faces, whether designing Hagia Sophia or a dormitory for the new girls’ school. Mr. Breasted is not only a most able and competent instructor, but following the example of his father. Professor James H. Breasted Sr., he is a distinguished scholar in his field. His lectures were almost frighteningly learned, but eventually we matured enough to be able to appreciate his scholarly presentation of the material. Mr. Breasted has also earned our affection outside the classroom, particularly as an able soccer tactician. His skill as a coach is not surprising in view of the little-known fact that he won several varsity letters at Princeton—two of them in soccer. The Class of 1959 takes pride in dedicating its yearbook to Mr. Breasted as an expression of its gratitude to him. He has taught us a standard of artistic judgment and excellence, both in and out of the classroom, which will serve us well for the rest of our lives. We salute him as a master and a friend. JOHN OLIVER PATTERSON Rector and Headmaster The Class of 1959 expresses its grateful appreciation to Father and Mrs. Patterson for their leadership, wisdom and inspiration. 5 SERVING KENT: 1958 1959 HOARD OF TRUSTEES John O.

In the full of 1954 no one at Kent had heart! of Brigitte Bardot, the space age. intercontinental ballistic missiles, or even the Class of ’59. On Sunday. September 15. forty-three insignificant and frightened youths crossed the bridge whistling “Sh-boom”, little suspecting that a mere 21 were to last out the full five years. We were allowed a brief glimpse of our sponsors, who then wandered oil to soccer and football practices, while we proceeded to the Dining Hall to consume the first of hundreds of Sunday turkey dinners. Few of us remember that first week at all clearly; pretty gen-erally confused, we wandered from lecture to lecture, and heard Mr. Armstrong tell us to sit near the front of the class. Thursdav brought the return of the old hoys, who appeared to us the height of sophistication and suavity. We were somewhat annoyed, however, to find that even the third form was entitled to starve us at the table. Jobs and inspections began in earnest, and we were all very pleased to find that we had nothing to fear from the genial, always-ready-to-help sixth formers. Soon we elected our first officers: Lowell Johnston and John Williams, both future prefects, and IIhi Synn. destined for glory in the class of '515. The fall sports season was somewhat embarrassing for the varsity football team, coached by the venerable Bear • Hot bread in hand Brown and led by the bulky Bubbles Shattuck. Soccer in those days was generally frowned upon, although Carlos Bussche was rumored to Ik- skillful at the game and our own Pete Murray almost made the team. Our true glory came in the lower leagues: the Junior Life isn’t all that bad! 74 Massies boasted a gangling John W illiams at end. Rob Wickett at fullback, and a tiny Monkey Gurney, who amazed one and all with his passing arm. Finally, at Thanksgiving, we faced the rigors of our first cleanup and returned home, hoping to impress our parents with our grown-upness. After an all-too-brief Christmas vacation, we were ready for an unknown enemy, the midyear exams. Most of us, however, did fairly well. A few of our formmates found glory in winter sports, as Fete Murray made second hockey and Jim Ferguson, a slim 137 pounds, wrestled for the J.V.'s. In the elections early in the term. Pete Murray was chosen president. Gullo vice-president, and Grant Rud-nicki secretary. Terrors in the Juniors: Ferguson. Miller and Sehonfeld Mr. Armstrong's jovial blusterings enlivened our class in Study Techniques, as did Rob SpafTord’s feat of breaking a wooden sword with his back. Chucky Grant and Steve Kurtz presided over a review of the ancient world, and Smoky Smith consumed an incredible amount of cigarettes while instructing us in the elements of algebra and geometry. In the spring Wilk made second tennis, while Prep Gurney towered head and shoulders over everyone as a pitcher for the second baseball team. Future crew gods Lowell Johnston and John Williams rowed against each other in the second boats of their respective dubs. As the term drew to a close, we made our first all-night stands, completing the traditional maps of the ancient world for our lovable master, Mr. Armstrong, and watched Dick Baiter. Charlie Appleton. Brillo and Rusty Wing tapped as the next year's prefects. The Rock was painted blue and gold (the colors ran) and we went home for a well-deserved summer vacation after an exhausting evening of Gone uith the Wind in the old auditorium. Viva la Noriega! 75 Gallia est omnia divisa in partes trcs . . Boice Returning the following fall, we found that we hardly knew the school: there was a brand-new auditorium where we saw Bad Day at Black Rock our first Saturday hack: the old auditorium was now the library, the old library was now the reception and lecture rooms, the mailroom was now the laundry, the laundry was now the business office, and even Pierre the barber had changed his place of business. Our first weekend was devoted to moving innumerable numbers of chairs in and out of the Great Tent set up on the soccer field for the Fiftieth ceremonies; we were rewarded with a holiday. What really impressed us most, however. was the array of new faces which was to make up the backbone of our future glory. While Rill Relyea and Russ Merritt were gone, there were almost twenty newcomers, including Sugar Holroydc. the Friendly Wa ir. Screaming Dent, and last but certainly not the least. Holy Cosine Rob. Our favorite master was soon Rugged Ralph Ritchie, who l et each of us a coke that he would misspell “it s before midyears, and demanded that we PYIRP while pushing the pencil, to say nothing of turning out un-“U”-ish paragraphs.

Mason Future star —Noriega and Hold « Holroyde, Morris, and Monsarrat cV himself with a very modest speech. Officers that fall were Lowell. illy, and G. Williams; Tombo Clark began to lead the school. However, we showed that our true worth was on the athletic field as Sneaky Pete and Pinky started on the soccer team. Jake made Kent football feared as the Sullivans. Reedo and the Hicks twins shone in an undefeated season. The hallowe’en carnival featured our class pig, saved at the last moment from an untimely end by a humane group who carried it off squealing to the football shack. This was the year of our long Thanksgiving vacation, as we went home for a week. Winter term was as dreary as ever, hut Ferg earned a k“ in wrestling, losing two matches which eventually proved to he his only losses in four years of competition. Cushman and Pinky were on second wrestling; Murray was the surprise of the season as he gained a starting berth on an excellent hockey team. Spring term saw Tommy, Froggy and Nick on Robie. Preu se, Steve and F'erg on dish Capture the flag? Sounds like fun. second baseball, while Vi ilk played first tennis and earned the first of his nine K s. Meanwhile Gullo began to publish the ’59 Press, a small but popular paper which featured Gurney Vi illiams unfinished poetry and immortalized Chumley's greasy Bavarian goatskin shorts. Our new form advisers. Mr. Dc illafranca and F ather Costin, arranged a picnic for us which was held in the Macedonia valley park. Hank Truslow, Bear Sullivan, Mulch Baker and Doc MacMillan were tapped as prefects for '57, and Duck Smith became the first Dean of Managers. In the school election, Lowell, Trus and Gurney Williams were chosen to represent us in the council the following year.

In dramatics we saw Geoff Mason as a hobo in If'interset, Robin Wilkins and Tony Swain as Indian chiefs in the Variety Show, and a group as a chorus for Murder in the Cathedral. As the Glee Club season got under way, Golden Voice Tony Swain began his career as King Snowman. A frii-nd from the West. FOURTH FORM YEAR Fourth form year we felt that we were at last upper-formers. At the tables we were much less oppressed, although to our indignation we were forced to wait. Again our ranks were swelled: Marco, Dates and Harv appeared from Duluth and it was rumored that they planned to play hockey; the others were Leaper, Larr. Tony, Studs. Barker and the affable Bob Gette. Also new was John Toff, for whom Saturday was anecdote day; like every class before us. we were highly impressed by Gilly. For the first time members of our class liecame Mr. Rourke’s Math A.P. whipping posts. Six of our class played first soccer, with Wilkie coming from Algo football to play first-string goalie, and Pete was elected captain for 1958. First football enjoyed an unparalleled season: Taft did the best job of our six opponents, holding us to 30 points. Ten 59ers were on the squad: Trus. Luke. Lowell, Willy, Wink. Ferg. Dent. Tony, Gramps (who scored ‘59‘s first touchdown) and Dick Ahlborn. Gramps also gained attention later in the year by responding with a piercing shriek on seeing the dead snake placed in his study hall desk by a few of bis formmates. In winter sports '59 came into its own, with Dates completing a line of Fryberger brothers, and Marco turning in an outstanding job in the goal as hockey went undefeated and captured the league championship. Pete, of course, returned at defense. Ferg was the only varsity wrestler, moving up to 157 and going undefeated. Wilkie won his letter in basketball and Louie starred for All quiet on the Western front. 78 Left to Right. Front Rou-: Ed on. C. Gurney. Cliarle . Dunham. Holme , Wit hey, Fouke, Tniflow. J.

Harv Edson made the first floosie crew even though he had never rowed before: Trus, Lowell and Willy were among the later, crew immortals who rowed first boat in the leagues. Nick and Prep made first baseball. Nick as second-string catcher behind the legendary Bear and Prep as a pinch-hitting infielder. And Barker French joined the ever-present Wilk. securing the number two tennis spot behind Plowdie. Then there was the group which returned from southern climes with glorious tans and spent the term working strange magic upon their hair. We were honored by the periodic visits of the old commuter.

Slalap 17 found Byron cast as a wealthy playboy, Gullo as a comic Brooklynese and Gurney a violent German. The glory in it all. While it is interesting to note that the Class of 1959 returned in the fall of its fifth form year with 59 mem-l ers. it is even more interesting, and somewhat of a class record, that in June it left with the same number. New honors and privileges were accorded us as we took charge of the study halls. sta ed up legally to the late hour of 10:00 and even enjoyed our first dances, which also lasted 'til the ridiculously late hour of 10:30. Every Mondax night special entertainment was provided in the lower lecture room as we explored the history of art with water gun and camera. In English, classes were divided between Roy and the Beard, involving a study of the Greek Theater and an unusually close reading of a book about a whale; dropping a few stragglers, Varsity Math forged on to new fields under the able assistance of R.E.K.R. Safely in numbers. Our class also made up the punch of almost every 58 team. Pete was re-elected soccer captain in an undefeated season, while Louie and Wilkie were named with him to the all-New Kngland team. Football lost only one game in Jake’s last )ear as Fcrg, Trus. Willy and Dent started, and Dent was elected to lead the squad in ’59. Fight others were also on the team. In winter sports we were equally strong. Monk joined Harv. Dates and Marco on the hockey squad and proved himself a highly aggressive player. As was expected. Dates was chosen to lead the team for the coming year. Pinky and llairhall were on the champion New F.ngland wrestling team, and Ferg went all the way to win the New Kngland title in his 177 pound weight class. His captaincy, like Dates', was no surprise. Louie and Wilk again started on the basketball team, with Louie sweeping the postseason awards and being elected captain. Spring came and many of our numbers once again migrated to the sunny South for three weeks, following the intercontinental habits of Cushman and Pagano. The oarsmen, however, returned early: Luke. Lowell, Chris. Harv, Trus. and Willy all made second crew, which completed an undefeated season. Lowell was elected captain for 1959 varsity, joining baseball and tennis captains Nick Monsarrat and Robin Wilkins. Shortly after a harrowing bout with our first College Boards, the Rock was painted I for the first time l in a glorious red and gold. Unfortunately. a mysterious white “H” soon appeared over our handiwork, and the job was re-done. I ndaunted, the unknown visitors defaced the Rock again; this time, however, our restorement was permanent. Noriega. Hobbs, ami M m arrat—three bench-jockey of con-idcrable experience. I-ale in May the various high officers were appointed for the coming year in the eagerly awaited tapping ceremony. Sugar Holroyde was tap) ed to he Dean of Managers; the difficult job of Dining Hall Steward went to Jon Iruslow, while Miller and Whitman were chosen to look after the Chapel (which is located between the Bell Tower and the Dining Halh. The Library Proctor was Dick Ahlborn, and Gurney Williams succeeded Hanf as News editor. Next. John Williams. Lowell Johnston, and Pete Murray were tapped as prefects and. finally. Lucien Fouke ran up the aisle to assume the position of Senior Prefect. The last few days of the term were spent adjusting ourselves to our new-found positions as Seniors. Most of us underwent the experience of ‘'accepting responsibility without incident and greatly enjoyed the added freedom that was entailed. Most of us also became thoroughly disillusioned about the thrill of being “in power as those jobs which appear so glamorous to the underformer became tedious daily routine. We bid the class of '38 a sad ( ?) farewell and settled down to the pleasurable business of final exams. Finally the last exam was over, and the happy task of packing was all that remained. Bright and early Friday morning. June 3. evervone wa bidding adieu to his friends and thinking about the next ninety-odd days of complete mental relaxation. Fall term, fifth form year; Cushman hide in shadow a« Gurney defie the camera. SIXTH FORM YEAR Karly in September we assembled as sixth formers at the Columbia Club in New York for the traditional party, ably organized by Jon Truslow. After beer and a hearty meal, we adjourned to the theater to sec The Music Man, starring Robert Preston and Winky Bangs. Bob Cushman sported a Captain Ahab l eard until five minutes after Father Pat noticed it. However, the name Hairball” stuck with this affable second-hand proprietor. We took our responsibilities in stride, confusing our spoil-sees and trying out for varsity sports. New to our form were “Yo-Chan” Yamamoto and the diplomatic representative from the Empire, John Chamberlain. Handling important positions were Luke Fouke as Senior Prefect and Lowell Johnston, John Williams and Pete Murray as his cohorts. Jon Truslow was dining hall head, Harv Kdson senior council member, Dick Ahlhorn library Proctor, Sugar llolroyde Dean of Managers, Gurney Williams I etcs editor, Byron Miller and Chris Whitman chapel heads, and Bob Cette King Weed. And of course Dent Rouse. Tiger of the ards. was to be on hand all year to set his boys shovelling snow at three in the morning and digging up grass in the spring. Notable roommates at this time were Positive Pete and Negative Ned. Among the new masters were Messrs Sapoch. Cluett, Rice. Cartwright and Baxter, some of whom taught at least a portion of our class. And we were exposed to music under Mr. Dell ’Anno, many of us clamoring for fogging the Scales. Mr. Syer's Varsity Math section forged on to unheard-of heights, while a large group were exposed to the P.S.S.C. physics course, immortalized by Harv Edson’s “Huwwo!” Fall sports were very successful, as soccer went undefeated and won the Western New England league trophy over such competitors as Deerfield and Mt. Hermon. Pete Murray was captain for his second year; Robin Wilkins distinguished himself as the first goalie to score at Kent. Dates had a phenomenal thirteen goals and Craig Yrooman clinched the season with the winning goal in the Hotchkiss game. On the football team. Jon Truslow proved the I’ll be gla ! lo conu- back tomorrow. Chan Kirwin humbly receive.. the Dorothy Clifton Spoon. season's most consistent back, and Tom Gurney gave the fans a thrill with his onside kicks that saved the Taft game. Fall term saw our first dance weekend dates from home, with Mr. Howard earning enormous gratitude by getting almost anyone from almost anywhere. Naturally the Kentones were prevailed upon to sing, led by Em hracahle Rudnicki and also featuring Honey-Throat Swain. Mason’s Florida twang was a source of general delight, and Gurney Williams soloed in St. James' Infirmary. The general N.A. was increased by the absence of Thanksgiving vacation, but some hold that Robin Wilkins' community sing more than made up for it. Our form contributed three of the four-man cast for A Sleep of Prisoners: Geoff Mason. Byron Miller and the Ruddy Lime. And it was about this time that the college interview crush ceased, with nobody sure yet where he wanted to go except Ferg, who was wanted by Wesleyan for some reason or other. John Morris had the dubious pleasure of seeing Robin's picture in This Week magazine. After Christmas vacation we returned to face a really dismal winter term. In hockey Dates continued to make unassisted scoring look ridiculously easy, while Pete, llarv and Tom also starred; the team tied for the league At least we tried. Well get you yet. Lime. The Miller Marauders vs. Ferguson Fighters. leadership. Meanwhile Kandy wrestled his way to a Connecticut championship, llairball amazed one and all with his ability to weigh 121 pounds every week, and Ferg took the Best Wrestler trophy at the New Fnglands by pinning three times to succeed himself as champion at 177. Dick Ahlborn, Pinky Pagano and Boh Yang also distinguished themselves on the mats. Ix u Buck and Robin Wilkins stood out on the basketball team. The ill-famed Inquirer began publication, featuring Boh Cette’s acidic comments about school life. The general monotony was otherwise broken only by a hit of merriment in the library which had to do with a snowball fight. And a figure in black broke up the Buck-Preusse gambling syndicate which had been the chief tourist attraction of the Club Norge. Hardly had the ice broken when the crews were on the river, captained by Lowell Johnston and stroked by John Williams. Harv, Luke. Chris and Trus were hack from last year's seconds, and Rud and Johnny Morris made the big jump from the leagues. Howie l eat out his roommate for the J.V.’s, and Flex was elected captain of that eight. After spring vacation, which saw many new tans and led Froggy to recount a number of interesting Mexican experiences, the other two sports began to think about organization. Nick captained the baseball team, backed up by Mike, Monk and Rcega; Barker and Wilkie engaged in a weekly battle for tennis supremacy. And surprises which greeted our return were the marriages of Messrs Baxter and Downes. Within a few days we were made prize suckers by Mr. Reynolds, the new Group Dynamics master, who turned out to be none other than Playboy caftoonist Shel Silvcrstein. brought up At the count of three we’ll sing together.

Dance weekend came early—some three weeks ahead of the leaves—and a number of exploring parties found new interest in Numeral Rock and the surrounding jungle. Swimming soon became somewhat legal, along with raft permission for which a few managed to get the required signed letter from President Eisenhower, and nobody in school felt safe without his buddy.

THIRD FORM As we ventured across the Bridge of Sighs, lacking three of our original members, we found nineteen new form-mates awaiting us with open arms on the other side. Tweaks. Baldy. Fumblina, and Vague all made second football, while Sam Watkins played in a number of games for first soccer. During this term of prolonged N.A.. our animal spirits were guided by Chuck Hamilton. Fidel Watrous. and Clija Watkins. By Christmas our form was first in the field of low averages, and we had enrolled eight members in the L. and M. club. Winter Term saw George Semler on the second hockey squad, and second basketball was almost entirely made up of third formers. Herbie. Allen, ami Goose wrestled for the seconds. At this time we elected Dewing. Semler. and Ozzie to the Council. Spring Term found Scott on First Tennis. Dewing and Callup on First Baseball, and I.oony coxing second crew. Tweaks made second tennis, and four berths were filled on second baseball. Grove was number four on the chess ladder, while Hague be-came supreme pawn pusher. Hews awoke five times during the year, to the surprise of all. All in all. it was an enjoyable year with no fatalities on record. Third Former eagerly helping the das of 59 to graduate. 93 When we came hack, we stormed through exams, and then went down to watch Bill. Wilt. Dune. Jack, and Doug shooting for varsity basketball, while Hick Dawkins captained the second team. Over in the pit. Newinie, Mike and Chip wrestled admirably for the varsity, while Ash and Stu mangled their second team opponents. After spring vacation, the big fight was in club crew, where a predominately strong fourth form llousie first boat edged the Algos for first place. As the year ended, we looked forward to the coming one. with its responsibilities, as fifth formers. FOURTH FORM The Class of 1961 returned last fall feeling very important in its new position as fourth formers. The spring before we had elected Bruce McClenahan to be our form president, and. at the same time, elected Tom Harvey, Dune Pollock and Pete Conze to represent us in the council. Soon after our return, down on the gridiron we saw Dune. Jack. Chris and Hick proudly displaying the Blue and Grey, while down in the valley Ash. Brooksie. and Charlie played for what proved to be the school's second undefeated soccer season. Ajax, who was the only member of the form to play varsity football third form year, was unable to play due to an injury. Meanwhile, we were getting to know and like the two new members of the form—Chuck Johnson and John Mcll-wain. After what seemed an unbearably long time. Christmas vacation rolled around, and we all went off to the pleasures of home and female company. Cla of 61. t root Row, Left to Right: Ubert. Burton. Frey, Stuart. VYV,thorp. Patch. Noble. Strang.

FIFTH FORM The Class of ’00 began its last year as underformers by supplementing the fall varsity sports with several members: football claimed sixteen of us. six of whom started. The soccer cause was strengthened by the support of eleven others. Steve Gladstone and Bruce Morrison were elected to lead their respective sports for the coming year. A long and tedious term aroused the voices of malcontent which found their outlet in the newly established Inquirer. We all will remember Bill Burton’s advertisement of his “Pre-Lcnten Special. Tigers sunbathing on the rock. With Bill White, Dago Springs, and WBS captaining our winter sports for the coming year, there is every hope of having three excellent squads. We have been very potent in the classroom this year, leading the school frequently. This year has been a well traveled one. for many of us took to the highways and hi ways leading to Middlcbury. Waterbury. Simsbury, and other points of similar interest. With the advent of spring vacation, many of the more frivolous persons in the form took to the ski trails and proved themselves as apt on the slopes as at their desks and on other travels. The leaders for the spring sports for the coming year are Colin Brooks, tennis; John Skinner, crew; and Tom Stanton, baseball. At the tapping ceremony. Dago. Blake. Bran, and Tony Dunn ran down the aisle to assume positions as prefects for the coming year. Class of '62. From Row. Left to Right: Knapp. Slock. Springs. Brooks. Phyfe, Johnson. Kepncr. Sweitzer.

Second Football RECORD CHOATE 26..........KENT 6 KENT 28 ... .TRINITY-PAWLING 20 KENT 14 ....JUNIOR REPUBLIC 0 KENT 6.......TORRINGTON 0 Led by Bollengier, Gallup skirts Torrington High's left end. Losing only one game out of four this year's second football team performed very well, in spite of its inexperience. Hard play and a desire to win more than overcame this handicap. Kent lost the season opener 26-6 against a powerful and experienced Choate team. Choate scored all four of its touchdowns on a well-executed reverse play. Kent's only score came early in the second quarter, when fullback (.buck Johnson scored from the three-yard line. Kent evened its record with a 28-20 victory over Trinity-Pawling. T.

Club Football Because of a lack of manpower, the usual Senior League clubs were divided into two equal teams: the Blue Team, coached by Mr. Smith and Mr. Grey, and the Green Team, coached by Father Pen field. The Blue and Green teams each won one and lost one during the regular season. Since the winner of the league was to play Taft, a final game was necessary to determine who was to play this outside game. In this hard-fought contest, the Blues defeated the Greens 12-0. In addition to these hard-fought intramural games, each team played the South Kent J.V. and the Regional Valley High School J.Y.. teams. In the first contest with South Kent, the Greens lost, the score being 19-16. The Blues’ first outside game was with Regional. The final score was 22-20 for Regional. However, the Greens easily defeated the Regional team 22-6. In the Taft game, the Blues were downed, although they played well, by a superior Taft team. The score was 22-6. The Junior Leagues this year were marked by exceptionally skilled coaching and hard and spirited playing. The three clubs were coached by: for the Housies. Mr. Bacon and Mr. Gifford: the Massies by Mr. Conover and the Algos by Mr. Rogers and Mr. Baxter. The Housies lead the league, with the Massies second and the Algos last. The Housies main strength was in their size and in the good backfield of Hamilton. Stengcr. Tully, and Girdwood. The small Mas sie team was sparked by George Sender. The Algos were led by Sellwable. Brooks. Gammack and Sanders. The Housies lost both games of the first round, but then went undefeated in the remainder of the club season. In the post-season game with Taft, they emerged victors by the score of 40-6. George Sender and Tom Gammack from other teams joined in the win. Phil Davis sparked this game with his long runs and punts. Defensively, the Housies were very strong, allowing Taft only one touchdown near the end of the final quarter. This year the league showed promise of things to come. Many of these young players may very well be seen on the varsity in the very near future. The Junior team in action against Forman.

Before the half was over, Charlie Preusse and Tom Stanton had scored again for Kent. More goals followed suit in the second half, featuring Fryberger and Stanton. Choate’s only score was a solo shot by the center forward, just out of the reach of goalie Whit McClelland. The team looked forward to a good year. KENT 2 — KINGSWOOD 0 In the second match of the season. Kent outplayed a defensive Kingswood team during almost all of the game. A better indication of the game than the score is the record of shots; while Kingswood made only three shots at Goalie Wilkins, Kingswood’s goalie had to make more than 50 saves. By placing most of their team in front of the goal, the Kingswood team was able to break up all but two of the Kent attacks. Craig Vrooman finally scored in the middle of the third quarter on a beautiful shot from thirty yards out. In the fourth quarter Bob Pagano scored an insurance goal. KENT 3 — SUFFIELD 1 Playing offensively from the opening kickoff, the Kent team outplayed Suflich! Academy before a crowd of over 2(X) students and mothers.

Byron Miller scored on a pass from Bruce Morrison early in the second half. Dates Fryberger scored the final goal on a solo from right wing. Goalie Wilkins played well in his second shutout of the week. Although the game was never in doubt. Kent’s play was visibly inferior to that shown in several of the previous games.

However. the scoring punch was lacking again, and it was not until the fourth period that Dates Fryberger came through with two tallies to win the game minutes before the final buzzer.

They jumped into a (juick lead by winning their first five games. The Massies and Algos then closed in. while the Green squad fell into a slump. The Algos, led by Bruce McClenaban and Jim Well, put up an excellent fight for the league championship. However, the Massies. sparked by John Sterne and their goalie. Dick Crosbie, were defeated in their last game, to give the Housies the championship. In the game before the last one. the Algos had given the Housies a chance to tie for first place, as the Bed team, out of the running at the time, had summoned up enough strength to defeat the Housies. This left it all up to the Massies. who, although they fought hard, were defeated by the Housies in what turned out to Ik a very close game. The season had many exciting games, and several exceptional new and promising players, such as Tom Grove. Tony Gordcn. John Dew ing. Sam Watkins, Tom Carey, and Scott Cauchois. The last few games, the clubs fought extremely hard and well because of the close race for the championship. During the greater part of the season, the Algos and the Massies were continually trying to catch up with the Housies. But the Housies in their prime kept a good margin until the Algos got hot and beat them two games in a row. Then the Massies started to win. and the race went all the way down to the wire. Unfortunately, the traditional post-season game with T-P was cancelled. This year the clubs were fortunate in having excellent coaching. Mr. Brcastcd's fine job contributed greatly to the success of the Housic team. In his first season as a soccer coach. Mr. Cartwright did a commendable job as the Algos nearly coped the championship. Mr. Pavlovich is also to be commended for his work on the Massies; he is expected to move into a position on the coaching staff of the Varsity next year. The players thanks go also to Mr. Brcdbcrg and Mr. Hustvedt for their competent refereeing of the games. On the whole, it was a very successful year and we look forward to seeing many of the players on the Varsity next season. O. B. DAVIS First Wrestling RECORD KENT 30.................

Club Wrestling The Kent Club Wrestling Squad progressed very well during the season due to the expert supervision of Coach Roy Richardson. Probably the main incentive which caused the clubs to work so hard was the promise of outside matches. The two matches in which the clubs participated were with the Gunnery and Wooster Junior Varsity teams, respectively. In the match with Gunnery, Bill Diamond, at 106. lost a very close match. Dick Morrison, wrestling at 115, pinned his opponent. Chuck Girdwood. at 121. however, lost. Larry Estey wrestled a fine match, but was unable to win. Perry Wroth, at 138 pinned his man.

The team wound up with a record of four wins and II losses. Captain Buck and Robin Wilkins led the scoring. For the first time in many years the team played its first game before Christmas vacation. This proved a profitable change, as the result was a win over the inexperienced Kingswood team 42-38. The second game of the year was perhaps the team's best effort, a 42-40 loss to a highly favored Gunnery team. Sporting three men over 6'5 and one of the best guards in the league. Gunnery appeared overconfident, but Kent held the lead in the first half. The second half was nip-and-tuck all the way, but was lost in the closing seconds. Captain Lou Buck was outstanding with 20 rebounds and 18 of Kent's 40 points. The next game was a disaster for the Kent team, as they ran into a shorter but much faster Loomis team and were trounced 53-34. Buck and Hobbs were high scorers for Kent with 8 points apiece. In the next encounter Kent lost to Canterbury for the first time in four years as a result of scoring only ten points in the entire first half. Blake Smith turned in an outstanding individual performance by throwing in 17 points. The final score was 43-39. In their fourth straight home game Kent was handed its fourth straight loss, this time by league champs Trinity-Bawling 69-56. Kent played well, however, with Buck and Wilkins hitting 17 and 16 points respectively and Quaylc going with 16. In the season’s biggest heart-breaker Kent lost to Taft after a double overtime. Captain Lou Buck was again outstanding, with 18 points and 16 rebounds. The final score w as 60-58. Kent finally got back into the winning column by defeating a taller Choate team. Buck was exceptional under the boards, while Robin Wilkins led the scoring with 18 points. Kent ran into disaster again as they met a hot-shooting Hotchkiss team and were soundly defeated by a score of 58-34. No Kent player hit double figures. In the next game. Kent overcame Taft to avenge their previous loss in an overtime defeat. Buck ar.d Wilkins led in the scoring with 17 and 16 points respectively and Mike Hobbs threw in the winning foul shot, the only point in the overtime for a 47-46 win. Kent played another good game losing to Trinity-Bawling in T-B's gym. The small gym hampered Kent's play, but Robin Wilkins was able to score 21 points. Once again Kent ran into the hot Hotchkiss team and was badly beaten 70-47. The game was rough and hot-tempered. Wilkins and Buck again led in scoring with 14 and 12 points, respectively. 115 In Kent's high scoring game of the year they were overcome by Berkshire because of a lack of defense. Buck poured in 26 points and pulled in 18 rebounds. Qua vie also hit for 15. The final score was 1 61. Kent avenged its previous loss to Canterbury in the next game by overcoming them 52 47. Kent fell behind in the first quarter, hut a strong team effort overcame ll.e deficit. Buck was an outstanding leader in this game.

Wilkins led in scoring while Buck pulled down 24 rebounds. At the banquet Captain Lou Buck was awarded the Jenkenson Trophy, awarded for sinking the most foul shots, for the second year in a row.

Second Basketball Hus year's second basketball team wa.s coached by Jack Sapoch and captained by Kick Dawkins. Although the team fought hard throughout the season, they failed to win any games, which was largely due to the inexperience of the players. In the first game of the season against Gunnery. Kent played the type of game that was to he typical of the season. In the first quarter, the Kent team found themselves behind by five points. The second quarter was played with Kent gaining a 12-9 lead. The third quarter was a seesaw battle, with Kent retaining the slight edge of 16-IS. The fourth quarter proved to 1h Kent’s undoing. Both the offense and the defense failed to hold out as Gunnery scored 23 points to Kent's 3 to win the game 36-18. The season progressed in this manner. Kent usually played equally with their opponents for three quarters and then completely fell to pieces in the fourth. Kent dropjH'd the next four games, and then came up against a strong Choate team. Kent's 31 points were not enough to win. Phil Davis. Romie Glenn, and Sid Smithers all starred. However, the speedy Choate team stole the hall continually and won the game by 19 points. Hotchkiss proved to he the strongest opponent of the year. Sid Smithers was strong under the hoards, pulling down most of the rebounds, hut the terrific shooting percentage of the Hotchkiss team proved too much. The Canterbury game was the closest of the season. The team lost by one point in the closing seconds of the match. Gunnery won the final game of the season, pulling ahead as before in the final period. At the annual basketball banquet, all the members of the team received 2nd's. Although the year was unsuccessful, the coach complimented the team on good spirit and attitude shown by the team as a whole. A good deal of new talent will be available next year. fi Second basketball team. First H u. .. to R.: Liltrll, GoodlKxly. Smithers. Dawkins. Mitchell. McClenney. Glenn. Second Roic: French. Hocm.

Ibis year the Varsity Hockey Squad, captained by Dates Frybcrger. compiled a 104 record and tied for first place in the Housatonic alley Hockey League. The opening game of the season was with the ale Freshman. Kent, being somewhat out of condition and playing at Yale in their warm indoor rink, was defeated 8-2. In the next three games Kent showed much improvement. defeating Loomis and Choate soundly, winning 8-8 and 8-1. respectively, and then downing Hotchkiss 2-1 in a closer match. Following midyear exams. Kent traveled to West Point to play the Plcbcs. Being somewhat tired from exams, and playing on “The Lake.” which is a nickname for the rink because of its great size, the team failed to hold a 4-1 lead and was defeated 6-5 in tin last period. fter defeating Taft 8-0 and South Kent 6-0. the team experienced a few difficulties which cost them losses to Choate 5-3 and St. Nick's Hockey Club of New York 9-8. After the St. Nick's game came the Alumni. The old men put up a great fight and gave the varsity quite a scare, but the first team outlasted them and won 4-3. Kent launches an offensive again-i Choate. 120 one of Kent's greatest all-time stars, said “We could easily have won three out of the four games we lost, hut we just didn't seem to have it on those days—ju«t one of those days, I guess.” At the annual Hockey Banquet.

Lack of ice and insunicient experience proved taxing as the seconds lost their first game to Taft 10-1. Aggressiveness seemed the major story on the ice. and it was this clement that Kent lacked. Jon Truslow scored the only goal in the third period. Once again.

The second line did all the scoring for Kent, with the exception of one goal scored by the first line. Hotchkiss then fell in a close game 5 4. Kent was forced to protect a 4 goal lead and ultimately had to score a fifth as they were sorely pressed in the third period. A slow South Kent team fell 4-1 as George Sender starred on the ice. A replay with the Taft team was the highlight of the season as the overconfident Tafties fell 2-1. Goals by Hardcastle and Truslow provided the margin of victory. South Kent then lost again 4-1. Kent defeated Milbrook again 7-1 and downed Gunnery 3-0. In a sudden death overtime period neither team scored and Kent tied Hotchkiss 1-1. The last game of the year saw Kent down Wooster 8-0 as Captain Nick Monsarrat completed his hat trick in the third period. Good line play overpowered the slower Wooster players as the defensive team of Wolfe and Bangs proved inpene-trable. This year's team set a record for the most games won. the most goals scored, and the most points scored in all the years Second Hockey has existed at Kent. With this in mind it is evident that next year's Varsity will have new material with which to work.

A well rounded, eager lloosic basketball team won the highly contested league championship this year. The Hoosie attack was spear-headed by a Sharman, Ten is berry, Morrison combination which proved to he too strong for the other teams. At the outset of the season, it appeared as though the Algos had the best chance of winning the league. I ndcr the able guidance of coach-Mattoon. and the co-captains. Rudnicki and Mason, the Algos won their first three games, heating the Hoosies 49-24, and the Massies twice by a large margin each time.

Charlie Preusse's speed and ability made him the team's high scorer. Chris Whitman. Tim Carnes, anti Linton Studdiford were strong on defense, ami Tim Noble, Jim Phyfe. anti Bruce McClenahan sparked the line play.

Alford and Sweitzer, however, were playing against two able opponents. They lost their first set but were able to stage a comeback and win their next two sets. The score was 4-3. I he last two matches were a match w ith Hotchkiss and a return match with Taft. Kent beat Hotchkiss 7-2 and a greatly improved Taft team 6-3. The second tennis team. First Row. L. to R.: Tewksbury.

But. as seems to be typical of their luck for the past few seasons, they had some bad breaks and close calls and wound up with a 3-8-1 record. The members seemed fairly equal in ability, consequently 11 of the 14 were regular starters. The coaching staff of Mr. Partridge, Mr. Nadal. Mr. Gilliam, and Mr. Pavlovich proved invaluable. In their first game Kent encountered a more experienced Hopkins Grammar team and lost 6-0. The game was very close, until the opposition exploded for five runs in the fifth inning. After that, good pitching put the game out of reach. Gallup looked good at first base in his first game. The second game was a little better. Kent winning 3-2 against Suflield. The team scored a run in the second and third innings. Each team scored in the seventh, after Suflield had scored one in the fourth. Tom Stanton looked very good, pitching the whole game. Mike Hobbs added support at the plate in this game. The next game saw Kent come up against a strong Choate team. Despite the efforts of the one hit pitching of Tom Stanton and Jack Fuller. Kent went down in defeat. 4-1. The Choate team seemed to capitalize on every mistake that was made. Bruce Morrison looked very good at bat and in the field.

Monsarrat was the out- standing player in this game. As Kent met Trinity-Pawling, it looked as though they were going to keep on w inning and have a successful season. Kent won 8-3. Pawling started the scoring with three runs in the first inning, hut Kent fought hack and kept on adding runs. Everyone hit safely for Kent in this game. In the next game. Loomis put a damper on Kent as they won 13-3. Loomis collected 11 hits while Kent could gather only five. Even though behind by such a large margin, Kent never let up. a characteristic of the team play all season. Bill Noriega played an outstanding game. The next game saw Kent lose a heart-breaker to Hotchkiss in 11 innings. 5-4. 'I'lie teams were evenly matched but Hotchkiss got the breaks in the 11th. They scored the winning run on a freak grounder through the infield. Then in Kent's half of the inning. , Doug Ahlborn hit a long drive to left field which looked like a sure home run. but it hit a T lawnmower and Doug was put out at third. Tom Gurney looked exceptionally good in his first Kent next travelled to Watertown to ploy Taft. Even though Kent outhit Taft, they lost 7-3. Kent held a 2-0 lead going into the fifth, hut Taft unleashed a five run barrage. Kent fell to pieces after that and was able to score only once more. John Dewing was the outstanding player of the game getting three hits in five attempts. Ihe Kingswood game was a misfortune for Kent. The game was called on account of rain after six innings giving Kingswood a 10-5 victory. Kent had the bases loaded with one out, and Dewing at the plate, when the rains came. The alumni pulled an upset by beating the team 8-2. The alumni clearly outplayed Kent in the field as well as at bat. Bill Burton's long double resulted in the team's runs. Kent played one of its best games as they tied Cranwell 5-5. With a five to one lead in the ninth, it looked as if Kent had won the game. But Cranwell came to life and scored four runs to tie it up. Previous school commitments prevented the game from being continued. In his first game on the first team. Dave Baiter hit two doubles. The last game of the season was another defeat at the hands of Hotchkiss, 8-3. Ahlborn and Baiter hit well for Kent, but the Hotchkiss team was too powerful. At the Annual Banquet Gurney announced that Tom Stanton was next year’s captain. Doug Alhborn got the batting trophy, and Gurney got the H.B.I. trophy.

Second Baseball This year's second baseball team was a great improvement over those of the past few years. With a 3-4 record, they indicated real hope for Kent baseball in the next four years. After only .wo days of practice the squad journeyed to Millbrool. to play their varsity squad. Kent lost 4-0. mainlv bee use they failed to garner many hits. It was. however, a good game, with excellent pitching for both sides. For the second game of the season, the squad went to Suflield to play their Junior arsily. Kent won 7-6. Credit for this victory must go to the squad for their tremendous improvement in hitting, and esjiceially to Allen Hague, who pitched the team to victory. The third game of the season was played at I aft against their J.V. squad. Again. Kent showed good hitting ability, getting 13 hits in 31 trips to bat. Bob Cushman was very effective behind the plate. The fourth game of the season was at Hotchkiss—the first of two games with their J.Y.'s. In a tense game, the Kent squad lost 2-1. It was a pitcher’s duel all the way. and special credit must be given to the Kent battery of Cushman and Quayle. A week later the Kent seconds went to Choate to lose to their J.Y.'s. 10-5. This was Kent's worst showing of the vear. Two members of the infield. Charlie Prusse and Sam Watkins, played an excellent offensive and defensive game. This match saw our only home run of the season—Denton House s 300-foot line drive over the heads of the Choate outfield. The next game was against Junior Republic. Here Kent found an easy victory, winning the wet. muddy game 16-3. In the season's last game the Kent squad again met Hotchkiss—this time on our home ground. In another tense game, marked by great pitching on both sides. Kent was defeated 3-2. Newman Baker at third base, and George Semler at short stop were especially outstanding in this game.

Junior Baseball Junior baseball. which consists of Kent's third and fourth baseball teams, began its season by winning the first three games against Forman, Millbrook. and Trinity-Pawling.

Andy Curtiss was the winning pitcher, lie pitched shut out hall until the ninth inning. On Father's weekend, the Trinity-Pawling thirds were defeated by Kent's third team. 6-4.

The game against Forman was unofficial because it was called on account of rain after five innings. The last two games of the season were against South Kent. The fourth team lost the first one 5-0.

Its influence reaches into every aspect of the school which concerns the students. The Council is composed of seventeen members representing all five forms. The voting portion is made up of the fourth, fifth, and sixth form members. The first meeting of this year’s Council was held after the tapping in May of 1958. Lucien louke, the Senior Prefect, was elected Chairman; John Williams was elected Secretary, and Michael Pollock. Sergeant-at-Arms. Meetings were held every Thursday night. They opened with a short prayer, and the minutes of the last meeting were read. Any business left from the last meeting was discussed, and new business was brought up and voted on if necessary. The week's hours were reviewed, and Saturday night study halls were assigned, (dosed meetings sometimes followed. The Council meetings are o|K n to any interested students so that they can find out more about the council which represents them. The Council is the direct link between the student body and the administration, and as such it plays an important role in Kent School life. Harv, l.owell, John. Pete, and . . .

The Guild was founded in 1956 by the headmaster. To enter the society, a candidate must show special talent in at least one of the scholastic departments and must maintain a satisfactory average in all of his other subjects. The nomination is made by the head of the department in which the candidate shows talent, and it must be approved by the student’s other masters. This year the Guild met once every two weeks. After the traditional steak dinner two papers were read to the brethren. A question and answer period followed each meeting. Schonfeld |iie«iion an a-M-rlion l y Chamberlain. One of the most interesting talks of the year was given by Mr. Courtney Stone, a field engineer from General Electric. He lectured on the possibility of life on other planets. Other high points were Chris Whitman’s talk on Boolean Algebra and Joe Bright’s original Pontius Pilate play. The most amusing incident of the year occurred when John Black found out that the author of the book from which he had taken most of the material for his paper on Saint Exupery was coming from Yale to attend the meeting. John was rather relieved when he found out that this was only a practical joke. New members were announced at the beginning of the year and after midyear examinations.

One or two people, or even a staff of five or six. can do little by themselves. Countless hours must be spent by a host of others taking pictures, printing them, writing articles, proofreading, typing and performing the myriad other tasks that are essential to the production of a satisfactory book. Following the example of recent years, this yearbook speaks primarily through pictures, and it is hoped that those selected will prove meaningful to the reader. A secondary objective has been to give the book an air of greater informality, and here again pictures are of ke importance.

This year, as always, the main object of the editors of the KENT NEWS was to make their year the best. When they were appointed at the end of last year, the decision was made to make the NEWS more attractive to both the alumni and students. This required several changes. Page One was changed by the use of more pictures in order to lighten the reading. The second page was allotted more of a variety of material. In every issue the editors tried to inclqde an editorial, a humor feature, and a cartoon. Another innovation was a series of alumni biographies. A successful issue of the NEWS requires the co-ordinated work of all of the staff. Editor-in-Chief Gurney Williams and Managing Editor Barker French headed the group. Copy Editors John Sterne. Craig Vrooman, and Mike Hobbs did a tremendous amount of work and were in a sense the backbone of every issue. The Sports section covered a full page.and Sports Editor Bill Noriega handled his job with great finesse. Randy Saltus took charge of the headline meetings, a great relief to the editors. John Snyder pulled in a lot of advertising, and Peter Sowerby handled the circulation end. The NEWS wouldn’t be news without the w riters, and the Contributing Editors deserve special mention for their work in this department. Putting I he News to tx-«l on Monday night. I'ndrr former plan a mass attack on the headlines. Missing—Saltus. Another crowd kept calm by the Blue Key. The Blue Key Society, in its role of ofiicial host for the school, has had the full support of its members, faculty advisors Mr. Howard and Mr. Nadal, Mrs. Mollenhauer, and the many boys who volunteered to help out when regular members were not able to participate in certain activities. During the year, members of the Society met visiting teams, policed athletic events, served at teas, and hclj ed in the organization and planning of several school functions, especially Mothers and fathers Weekends. In addition, the Blue Key undertook a new duty, that of showing visitors and prospective students around the school. It is hoped that in the future more responsibilities will be delegated to the Blue Key. At the annual banquet in May, the graduating members were awarded keys in recognition of their contribution to the Society. Those receiving them were: Chairman Jack Black.

Kent's literary magazine, appeared this year. Sixth form editors Leo Damrosch. Gurney Williams, and Dick Ahlborn instituted a change in format which reduced the magazine to two-thirds its former size and made possible one column of print per page instead of two. The Fall issue placed more stress than ever before on ait work, under the direction of George Porter and Mr. Hustvedt. Despite the efforts of the editors and faculty advisors. Messrs. Fuller and Cluett. student interest was not such that more than two issues were published; however, the experimentation in various fields which was undertaken made the effort worthwhile. and several good pieces of student writing did find their way to print. Special mention is due to fifth formers Tim Griggs. Anthony English, and Branny Sweitzer. who did much of the work on the Spring issue, and thereby gained the experience to do a good job next year.

As always, most of the credit for the success of the concerts goes to Mr. R. L. Gilliam, who conducted many of his own arrangements. Assisting him this year were Grant Rudnicki and Gurney Williams as officers. Early in the fall, fifty-three boys were selected from the hundred ai.id fifty who auditioned to make up the four-part club. As usual, the auditioner was faced with the possibility that the tenor voice could easily change into a full-fledged baritone Indore the end of the season. After a number of rehearsals and a brief concert on Mothers Weekend, the Club gave its first outside performance at St. Margaret’s School in Waterbury on Dccemlier 7th. Among the numbers sung were Praise Ye the Lord and Cabin Hoy, the former from the Russian Liturgy and the latter a solo by Tony Swain. A sup| er dance followed the concert. Shortly before Mid-Years, the Club gave its second concert at St. Mary’s in IVekskill. New York.

One Sunday late in Winter Term, the Club recorded a few of its Iwtter numl crs. For the second year. Mr. Gurney Williams engineered the session in the Old Gym. Over three hundred copies were sold at Kent and at several girls’ schools in the area. In one of the most satisfying of the year's concert’s, tin Club went to Dobbs Ferry. Before the dinner dance, the Club sang several of the year’s more |n pular numbers, as well as one or two new ones. Grant Rudnieki. Bill Bangs, and Doug Ahlborn soloed in a new arrangement of Loivlamls. In their part of the program, the girls sang a varied and interesting program and demonstrated a talent and responsiveness to direction seldom equalled. Karly in the Spring Term, two benefit |M rformances were given. About half of the Club, including the kentones. sang at the annual Men’s Club dinner of the Sherman Presbyterian Church, fter dinner in the parish house, the miniature club sang, among others. Rocka My Soul ami (.rucifixion. Several weeks later, the club sang at a benefit for the Sharon hospital. Mso on the program were the Wehautuck High School Band and the Millbrook Glee Club, which sang sc oral Kent arrangements. In keeping with the tradition. Fathers’ Weekend was the last concert of the year. The Club sang one new number. Root II ayfaring Stranger with a solo by Grant Rudnieki. as well as several of the year’s l est number.-. 151 Kentones The Kcntono harmonizing moothly al Sharon. Competition for membership in this year’s Kentones was particularly keen. After extensive juggling of personnel, Mr. Gilliam finally chose a well balanced group of thirteen voices. The members were: first tenors—Jon Truslow. Bill Bangs, lony Swain, and Jack fewkshury; second tenors—Grant Kudnicki. Bill .Noriega, and John Sterne: baritones— Lowell Johnston, Gurney Williams, and Dick Ahlborn: basses—Doug Ahlborn. Ilarland Johnson, and Geoff Mason. Grant Kudnicki was appointed “pitchpipc” for the group. I he Kentones appeared as the lighter side of all the Glee Club concerts and once alone at the Prep School Octet Jamboree. At the end of the season, the club had amassed a repertory of about fifteen numbers, many of which employed the services of Kudnicki. Mason. W illiams and Sw lin as soloists. Favorites among the female audiences were Slecpytime Cal. hmbraccablc You. Summertime. Honey Hun. St. James Infirmary, and Louisville Lou. The latter gave Bill Noriega a chance to display his charming personality'. 1959 KENT SCHOOL Numbers h tin Kentones occupied the reverse side of the Glee Club record. Mr. Williams. who recorded the record, contributed highly to its success, and the Glee Club and Kentones wish to express their gratitude to him for his efforts.

The responsibility of the Choir remains the same: the preparation of the music sung at our daily services and the Sunday Eucharist. In addition, the Choir prepares music for special Feasts and Holy Days. This past academic year special services were held on ALL SAINT’S DAY to commemorate the life and work of two distinguished Anglican composers, the late Ralph Vaughan Williams and the late Martin Shaw. On the eve of the boys’ departure for the Christmas Holiday, the FESTIVAL Of LESSONS AND CAROLS was held in the Chapel, all members of the community taking an active part in the service. Grant Rudnicki. John Sterne. Bruce McClenahan. and Orlando Springs sang solos at this service, which is becoming a very meaningful experience in the life of the School. During the EPIPHANY SEASON, a service of music was held, and just prior to the beginning of the Spring Holiday a Passiontide Service of Lessons and Hymns wh celebrated. Also at this service the Gregorian Setting of the St. Matthew Passion was sung by the Choir with the school singing the part of the Crowd. Soloists at this service were the Precentor Rudnicki. Sterne. Doug Ahlborn and Springs. In Eastertide the Choir sang special music appropriate to the Season. In all of these special services, the Choir was assisted by the ‘Numinous Nine', a rather dubious title for a group of talented and experienced singers in the Choir. Since the Choir means boys and leadership, the school was particularly fortunate this year in having as Precentor. Grant Rudnicki, a singer of sensitivity and extraordinary ability. Grant was appointed Precentor by the Headmaster, succeeding Ralph Warren '58. Kent’s first Precentor. The Choir met twice a week for forty-five minute rehearsals. During the course of the year it was able to increase the number of Psalms sung at Evensong. Several new hymns were added to the repertory as well as settings to the Evening Canticles. In many cases at Evensong an anthem or a plainsong hymn was sung during the Festal Seasons. The members of the Choir are justly proud of their accomplishments. It looks forward to another productive year in 1959-1960, hoping among other things to visit many parish churches.—W.N.P. The Choir: William N. Pen field. Director. Front Row, Left to Right: Holme .

It has equaled or bettered any record of achievement set by past bands of Kent or Groton, and in doing so. has brought up the standard of ringing to a level never yet attained since the departuie of Isaac Atwater from Kent in 1933. Since then the ait of ringing the changes has l een passed on from class to class by the boys themselves. Because of their complete separation from the rest of the ringing world, the Guilds of the past few years have let the quality of the ringing deteriorate from the standard set by the Knglish towers tof which there are thousands, there being only two in the United States -Groton and Kent l. During the last four years great progress has l ecn made to rectify this situation. This year courses of Grand-shire Triples tan eight-bell method | ealed forth from the tower nearly every Sunday. In the past this was done only once or twice yearly, if at all. Also this year there have been several valid attempts for a Quarter-Peal t 1260 changesl on five bells, many of which got far beyond the half-way mark before someone fell out of place. The social highlight of the year, a trip to Groton, was the band's initial ringing in a strange tower. 'I he members of the first band making the trip were: Cady. Ilardcastlc. Croshie. Skinner. Stuart. Headden, Goodbody. and Whitman. The Guild is indebted to Mr. Howard, whose constant inteiest has made this a most successful year. Since Gris W hitman is the only member of the band graduating, it is hoped that Chairman-elect Jeffrey Headden can further the accomplishments of the Guild next ear. Tlir fir t hand.

It was built around a nucleus of four returning members: President Larry Dunham; Vice-president Louis Buck: Secretary Charles Prcussc; and Arthur Schonfeld. The primary success of the Society was to hold regular weekly meetings throughout the year. For the most part, the fifteen members displayed a lively interest in the year’s activities, especially in the intra-Societv debates. At the decision of the officers, outside debates were held to a minimum; in seven such debates, Kent compiled a four and three record. At the first meeting in September, all applicants for admission delivered speeches on what they thought should be the objectives and activities for the Society. Schonfeld and Dunham of the Affirmative won the year’s first debate on the topic, Resolved: that the Ivy League Colleges are superior. There followed several weeks’ discussion on the national debate topic, a comparison of the French, British, Russian and American educational systems. During the fall, all members gained considerable experience in formal debating. I ate in February, four mcmliers I Dunham, Knapp. Chamberlain, and Preusse participated in the Chesire Tournament, having prepared extensively in the previous weeks. Debating for the negative on the national topic. Preusse and Chamberlain won all three debates while Dunham and Knapp won one of three for the affirmative. On February 26, Kent entertained a four-man team from Canterbury on the topic, Resolved: that the Federal government should control all United States public education.” and the result was the most heated debate of the year. Arguing on the affirmative side. Kent’s team of Ashby, Ferguson. Slaughter, and Buck lost a close decision. Next year's elected officers are Knapp, Slaughter, and Ashby. They hope to organize a league of debating teams with nearby prep schools, which would greatly stimulate interest in debating. Science In an effort to enable students interested in science to concentrate on some specific field of their choice, this year's Science Club was divided into four groups: Biology under Mr. Bredberg, Klee-ironies under Mr. Gammon's able hand. Chemistry with Mr. dc illafranca and Astronomy under Mr. Conover. The aim of each section was to give the members instruction in a certain field and to do something for the betterment of the Kent Science Club. Mr. Gammon's section took up the study of the principles of electronics and radio construction. They prepared demonstrations of some of the aspects of radio and finished the year with the construction of regenerative receiving sets to be used in next year's physics classes. The chemistry group spent its time checking out complicated experiments to lie used in next year’s advanced placement chemistry course. This work was both interesting and successful; Jim Thorpe derived pure alcohol by the distillation of molasses. Dick Ahlborn. the club's president, performed an experiment designed to determine the value of a basic electro-chemical unit, the Faraday. Mr. Bredberg's biology section also did some valuable work, utilizing the new equipment purchased this year. Stuart Stokes took a number of micro-photographs of uni-cellular creatures which will be used as demonstration slides in future classes. David Slack conducted experiments with the cross-breeding of fruit flies and gathered data on the genetic effects of this breeding. Top: Astronomers primling their lenses. Middle: Members of the chemistry branch. Hollom: Chemists Parker and Ashby. Club Mr. Conover, the faculty chairman of the club, took charge of the astronomy section. They found the current satelite launchings very convenient for practical applications of theory learned in the meetings. The Questar telescope was used for observing the satclites and the stars. Much of the meeting time was devoted to the grinding of parabolic mirrors for use in amateur telescopes. This section also sponsored a lecture by Mr. Courtney Stone, who spoke to the school on missiles, rockets, and the problems of space travel. Due to the efforts of the faculty advisors, this year has been very productive,and it is hoped that future science clubs and classes will l cnefit from the club’s work.

Outing Club r The Outing Club was formed several years ago under the direction of Mr. Hubert Grey. Its main purpose is to give interested students a chance to see some of the more interesting spots of this region. Originally, it was considered a hiking club, but this year's activities included mountain climbing and spelunking. 'I he art of rappeling, which consists of lowering one’s self backward down the face of a cliff with a rope around your middle, was learned by trial and error. This past year was a very active one with many trips to various places of interest. Some of the more interesting places visited were the caves near Millerton. New ork: the cliffs and caves near Simsbury, Connecticut; and the Stone Chapel —a combination gorge and cavern near Dover Plains, New York. I he caves near Millerton were extensively explored w ith the help of the club's new carbide lamps. Most of the rock climbing was done on cliffs near the local Indian Reservation. The officers for the outing club this year were Robert Cushman. President; Alan Holrovde. Vice-President; Robert Cette. Treasurer: and Henri Wedell. Secretary. Mr. Grey and members on ice. 158 CHESS L U B Thayer and Hague plot mayhem. The Chess Club has had a successful year, winning fi e of its six matches and all four of its league matches. The first match was played with Hotchkiss. Kent won, 4 to 1. Slack. Thayer. Schonfeld, and Grove won while Hague, number one. lost. The second match was with South Kent. The team won. 3 to 2. Hague. Thayer, anti Grove won, and Schonfeld and Slack were beaten. The third match was against Millbrook. one of the threats of the league. Kent edged them. 3 to 2. Slack. Hague, and Schonfeld won. while Thayer and Gordon lost. The fourth match, against Loomis, ended in defeat by a score of 4Vi to V . This was a non-league match. Hague. Schonfeld. and Grove were unable to attend. Slack. Thayer, Club President Sharman. and Vice-president Cady all lost while Gordon stalemated. Kent then plaved a non-league rematch with Hotchkiss, winning this time 3 to 2. Slack. Hague and Grove won: Gordon and Cady lost. The final match, a league contest with Viewpoint, ended in complete victory for Kent who won 5 to 0. Slack. Hague. Thayer. Schonfeld. and Grove all checkmated. A league match with Canterbury had been scheduled hut it was cancelled due to limited time. The team’s 4-0 record puts them in a good position to win the Gambit League Cup for 1959. Every man on the starting team ended with a winning season. Hack, who played in the number one s|x t for the second half of the year, won four and lost none. Hague went four and one: 1 haver went three and two: Schonfeld went three and one and Grove went undefeated by winning all four of his matches. 159 Dramatics Society This year the Dramatics Society, very ably directed by Mr. Roy Richardson, concentrated its effort on three major productions—one each term. In addition, there were several excellent “workshop” productions of shorter length. Christopher Fry's religious drama. Sleep of Prisoners”, was the Fall play. As was the intention of the author, the production took place in the Chapel. The four male roles were intensely acted by Geoff Mason. Ryron Miller. John Chamberlain, and Doug Ablborn, all of whom did outstanding jobs. The March presentation was Samuel Spewack's comedy. “Two Blind Mice”. Faculty wives, Mrs. David Rice and Mrs. John Sapoch. played the two old ladies employed by the defunct “Office of Medicinal Herbs . The male lead. Skip Smith, was supported by Sid Sinithers and Leo Damrosch. Especially entertaining was the humorous courtship of Mrs. Robert Cluett by Robin Wilkins. Mr. Jan Austell directed. Mr. 0. B. Davis completed the year with a laudable directing job on Richard III . English Exchange Student John Chamberlain played the title role, with Tony English's fine portrayal of Buckingham in support. The following deserve special mention for their efforts in a technical capacity: Mr. Jan Austell. Mr. Ioffe) (lighting!, and students Denton Rouse. Bob Cushman. Charles Preusse. and Lou Buck. This year for the first time the Dramatics Society was under the central control of a student committee which, aided by a faculty advisor, coordinated and organized ail the different aspects of successful play production. A newly purchased portable “dimmer” was most valuable in creating new lighting effects, as was a set of black curtains.

The club grew rapidly and now includes eighteen guns, from the Fourth Form through the Sixth Form. At the end of the 1958 season Henri Wedell and Boh Cushman were voted President and Vice-President of the club for the year 1959. The club had quite a successful year, although considerably hampered by rain in the Spring. At the In-ginning of the year Mr. Gifford and Mr. Sapoch were selected as faculty advisors, ami great appreciation is due to them for their help throughout the season. Woodworking The Woodworking Club began this year with enthusiastic participation by about fifteen students. All the work was under the supervision of Mr. Parcells. Meetings were held every Wednesday afternoon and lasted from one to two hours. Most of the smaller projects were finished by Christmas vacation. At this point there were only a few steady members remaining, and they all had long range projects to complete. The most popular of these were bookcases ami enclosures for hi-fi speakers. The shop is very well equipped with modern power tools, enabling the memliers to finish large projects in relatively little time. 162 Mr. Parcells direct project of member . I 1 Mr. Romhaugen speaking to tin-club on NEWS photography. A picture taken by a member. This year the Photography Club was considerably more active than in recent years. This was due primarily to the efforts of Mr. Rons haugen who gave a great deal of time ami effort every week. The club was a great help to the Kent publications by supplying main of the photos used. Special mention must be given to Beckett, Bullen, Engel, Fulton, Goutell, Grant. Green. Jones. Stokes. Tully, and Yamamoto. It is hoped that next year's club will meet with such success. Left: Five member at work in the dark room. Art Club 'I his year the Art Club under the direction of Mr. Hustvedt undertook more projects than usual and enjoyed a very successful year. Among the most noteworthy accomplishments was the showing of several films, some of which the whole school was permitted to attend. Although most of the films were of an explanatory nature, a few were very entertaining. Outside of the regular meetings there were many sketching trips made by some of the members. At the Thursday meetings Mr. Hustvedt. with the assistance of President George Porter and Vice-President Steve Gladstone, helped members with any problems of design or technique on the various projects. At these meetings Mr. Hustvedt would analyze or criticize works done during the week and help the members begin new projects. From time to time lectures and demonstrations were given on subjects such as portrait painting. 164 Above: The artists I trying to look disorganized I: Crytser, Gladstone.

L A N G U A G E THE GERMAN CU B: The German Club this year was an informal affair. It elected Grant Kudnicki and Gurney Williams a its officers and then settled down to business. Business was very enjoyable. Herr Cartwright, the faculty adviser, obtained several books of German beer songs, and on Wednesdays during fifth period the class would gather and sing songs first in unison and then in parts. THE SPANISH CU B: Under the direction of Mr. Colmore, the Spanish Club met every other Thursday during the vear, carried on a program of short talks, and listened to records. Early in October Roberto Pagano and Federico McPhail were elected President and Secretary. At other meetings Antonio Swain spoke on the origin of superstitions in primitive man. and Craig Vrooman on impressions of a night in Haiti. Later in the year. Timoteo Black presented an analysis of the Cuban situation, and Cisco Smilhers spoke on conditions in Castro's Army. Records were provided by Federico for other meetings, and all in all. the year proved to be very successful. THE FRENCH CLl B: The French Club operated this year on a semi-active basis. Bi-weekly meetings were begun fairly late in the year. Larry Estey, John Black, and Bill Bollengier were elected officers of the club. Plans included a debate, a short French play, and some French films. Readings of several French skits were held, and before Christmas vacation some French Christmas carols were played. The faculty advisor. Mr. Mattoon. provided recordings of various dialects spoken in France, which proved to be very valuable. Above: The German Club playing their recorders.

The Music Society The Music Society had. as usual, a fairly large turnout this year. A week after the student body returned in September, elections were held to vote for the officers of the cluh. Stephen Gladstone was elected President, Skip Smith. Vice-President, and Whitney McClelland to the post of Secretary. With the loss of John TofTey as faculty advisor, we were forced to find a new advisor. It was unanimously decided that the school's new music teacher. Mr. Dell’Anno, should fill the position. With this year's dues many new records have been added to the society’s growing collection. Thanks to Mr. Dell’Anno, the society’s records will be available at all times to the members of the society and also to any students of Music Appreciation. With Mr. Dell’Anno as faculty advisor, the society is looking forward to many successful years in the future. The Weather Club A real expert, Bill Allyn. lectures Hamilton, Hannah. Hamilton. Beckett, Stokes, and Scovill at a meeting ot the Weather Club. The Weather Club was quite successful for its first year of operation. This small club for underformers offered to its members, through the lectures of W'illiam Allyn. a basic understanding of the functions of the weather. This basic understanding is necessary before further study may be accomplished. Towards the end of the year the rules of forecasting were discussed. Because of the size of the club, it was felt that only two officers were necessary. William Allyn, ’61, was elected President, and James Beckett was elected Secretary. The other members were Jon Hanna, Stuart Stokes, Richard Frohmader, Jed Scovill. and Barry Hamilton. The club’s faculty sponsor was Mr. Humphreys, who asisted with some of his famous feeds. The Members listen to Mr. Rourke's discussion of his trip to Russia. International Relations Club This ear Anson Gardner, Kent ’08, organized an International Relations Club at Kent. He appointed Byron Miller. Jr.. ’59. as President and Fred McPhail, '59, Vice-president. The purpose of the club is to try to promote ami stimulate knowledge of foreign countries and people, primarily by discussions headed b masters and students who have done a great deal of travelling. Although it was not done this year, in the future, members who do not have much travelling ex-perience may help by preparing papers on current events or a particular country. Started in January. the International Relations Club held three meetings this year. At the first two Mr. Gardner talked on several countries of the Middle Fast, since he has travelled greatly in this area of the world. He illustrated his talks with pictures, books, maps, and souvenirs which he had purchased on his trips. Mr. Rourke was the guest lecturer at the third and final meeting of the year. He discussed ami answered many questions about his trip to Russia the previous fall. His principal topic of the afternoon was education in the technological field in Russia. After this meeting Tony Morris and Duncan Pollock were appointed as President and ice-Prcsident. respectively, for the year 1959-1960. As this particular activity proved to be of great interest to the members, it is expected that next year will be marked by increased activity. The members for the year were John Chamberlain. Yo-chan Yamamoto, Tony Morris, Joe Bright. Steve Crytaer. Pete Alford, I-arry Dunham, Tyler Smith. Hanford O'Hara, Hugh Hardcastle. Tim Black, Jim Thorpe, Wilt Burton. Mike Frey, Dune Pollock.

A Girls’ School at Kent ? “Every citizen of the I nited State must lx? educated to the limit of hi capacity if this nation is to survive as a democracy.” This statement, made recently by Dr. Robert N. Hutchins, reflects the spirit with which the Vance Committee undertook the project of expansion of the Kent community. After considering and rejecting various plans for expansion, this committee finally decided to attempt the construction of a girls' school—to l e located near the present site of Kent and founded on similar principles of Christian res| onsihility and education. This ambitious undertaking was announced and described in the Report of the Rector and Headmaster last October: “While the girls' department is an integral part of Kent School, there will be a separate faculty, separate facilities, ami separate classes. The plan is for what is known as ‘coordinate education , a system we believe offers all the advantages and none of the disadvantages possible in co-education. According to this plan the Rector and Headmaster will also be in charge of the girls' division, along with a Principal who is to be under his direction. The department heads of the present school will also officiate at the new division over a faculty evenly split between men and women, and the admissions and fluctuating tuition policies now in effect will continue for the girls. The school will open with a freshman and sophomore class of about fifty students each, and will then expand by class to a four-year curriculum offering approximately the same college preparatory courses that are now taught at the boys’ school. The proximity of a girls’ school o| erated on the same principles and striving for the same goals as the present school offers unlimited opportunities for both groups to mature, to learn together God’s purpose in life, and to bring to their lives more significance, learning and stature. The geographical location of the school presents an opportunity to the architect and builder to use almost unlimited imagination in designing, building and landscaping, and they will make full use of this freedom. The school has a magnificent location, the six hundred seventy-five acre site included in the purchase of the Hobart Rawson property by the Hoard of Trustees. Situated on one of the highest plateaus in Connecticut, it will boast an exciting combination of open grounds, pond, hillocks, oaks, great maples and evergreens. The view from any one of the buildings will be unbeatable, with the Catskills visible 40 miles to the west and the Litchfield Hills to the east. Construction will be undertaken all at once for the classroom building, the auditorium—gymnasium, the dining hall and the four dormitories (each to house 50 girls . As a result the girls will not have to undergo an uncomfortable interim period of building. The way of life will provide very little deviation from that employed so successfully in the boys’ school; the terms Self-help and directness of purpose will manifest themselves widely as the male model is copied. Although the school is five steep miles distant, it is speculated that numerous non-academic activities will be shared by the students of the two schools.
