DEDICATION September, 1919, King School marked the begin- ning of one of the most important and exciting eras in the eighty-three years of its growth, that was the year Vernon Averell Dwelle came to King. Mr. Dwelle taught English and history and, in 1922, also assumed the duties of assistant headmaster, Five years later, due to the ill health of Headmaster Brent, Mr. Dwelle accepted virtually all the responsibility of running the school. Mr. Dwelle became King School's sixth headmaster in 1932, following the death of Mr. Brent. For twenty- five years, the Headmaster taught, reassured, and punished as the various needs arose. He also under- took the teaching of Latin, physics, and mathematics at various times, while continuing ,the instruction of history and English. For a quarter of a century he worked toward the goal of our founder-Hiram Ulysses King-a fine boys' college preparatory school in the city of Stamford. Then, in the spring of 1957, the Board of Trustees regretfully accepted Mr. Dwelle's resignation. At the commencement exercises for the class of 1957, Headmaster Dwelle turned his post over to our present headmaster-Mr. Jackson-and ac- cepted the title of Headmaster Emeritus. During the past two years, Mr. Dwelle has con- tinued at the school, heading the Building Fund Com- mittee, aiding Mr. Jackson, and, as always, helping the students by every means at his command. Next September, for the first time in forty years, the pro- gram at King will not benefit from the guidance of our Headmaster Emeritus, for, while he will retain his post as a trustee of the school, he will not participate in its daily operation. In recognition of his contributions to King School, and in tribute to the man himself, we-the Senior Class -are proud to dedicate the nineteen hundred fifty- nine Kingsmen to Vernon Averell Dwelle. We feel that this is a tribute, too, to the closing of a golden age in the progress of King School. L-4
