LENNOX C. FOGG, JR. “Misty” entered Kingswood in the Third Form and soon became distin' guished in athletics, being a member of the Second Baseball and Soccer Teams in both his freshman and his sophomore years. He also played hockey during his first three years here. “Lennie” has been a member of the Choir for four years, lending his lusty voice to the bass section. In his junior year “Foggy” joined the Hews board in the capacity of As' sistant Circulation Manager. Because of his talent and faithful service he was elected Business Manager the next year. During the past two years, “Len” has been a mainstay on the First Soccer Team, earning his letter both years. This year he was elected a Prefect, which is one of the highest honors that a Kingswood boy can obtain. Len is a rabid “fiend” for jazz music, the mere note of a trumpet being enough to start him “swaying.” He is also a great golf player, spending the greater part of every summer on the links, although last summer he spent a month at Fort Devens and is expecting to do the same thing again this summer. This spring “Foggy” did an excellent job as manager of the First Base' ball team, earning a major “K”. His ability to make the “kids” of the neighborhood chase fly balls was little short of amazing. Len’s other activities include his service as one of the Business Man' agers of the Class Book, and he did occasionally manage to show up at Mathematics Club in his junior year. Next year “Foggy” is headed for the University of Pennsylvania and hopes to attend the Wharton Sch(x l of Finance with three other members of the Senior Class. If his record at Kingswood is any indication, we all feel sure he will be very successful in the future. 15

RAYMOND J. DUNN, JR. “Ray's” career at Kingswood com menced in the Third Form. In that year he swung into sports with Second Team Soccer, Hockey, and Intermediate Baseball. The following year found “Raymie” on the First Soccer Team, again on the Hockey Team and follow ing closely behind the “eight'ball” in the spring. As a hard fighting full back, Ray more than earned his “K” in soccer last year. The Choir, greatly in need of members, found an outstand ing one when Ray gave his talents to a most important and worthwhile cause. Among other important obligations last year, Ray managed to attend and to make advancement in the Math club. This year was marked by noteworthy accomplishments. For the sec ond consecutive year Ray won his letter for soccer, doing much to bring success to his team. Because of unfavorable hockey weather, Ray had very little chance to prove his worth on ice. In the spring he again turned to baseball and all its glory. One of the most distinguished honors that Kingswcx)d has to offer was bestowed on Ray this year, when he was made a Prefect. The T cws Board welcomed “R. J.” this year, not as another name in the “Spotlight” column, but as an “ace” reporter. Ray will long remem ber his tedious experience in trying to get an interview with Paul White man at Bushnell Memorial. Ray enjoys the Photography Club, and finds amateur photography a fascinating and interesting pastime. His modesty in regard to the fairer sex leads us to be lieve he is quite a favorite with them. Yet, “Shirley”, we all agree that “the man who blushes is not quite the brute” or “Em i ly ing?” Ray is headed for Trinity and then M. I. T. With him go our best wishes for still greater success. His friends at Kingswood are numerous; his pleasing personality and genial manner of mix- ing have made him a friend to all. 14

JAMES S. FOSTER “Jim entered the school in the Fifth Grade, and this year he was one of the few remaining original members, who started way back in the “old days . In the Sixth Grade Jim won the Dux Prize for leadership in studies, and he also played on the Lancaster Football Team. “Mouse added a great many points to his club's score through dis- tinction in studies. He played club football for three years and club base' ball for two years, and in his last year in the Junior School he was elected the President of the Lancaster Club. He was a member of the Lancaster relay team which broke the record for the 440yard run and received a cup. Upon entering the LJpper School, Jim was elected President of his class, and has held that position for four years, being this year President of the Senior Class. Jim won his letter three years in succession on the First Football Team, and was a regular on Coach Gargan's undefeated team of two years ago. Ever since the Sixth Grade, “Mouse has been interested in the work of the J'lews, and this year he was elected Editordn-Chief of the school paper. He has been a Prefect this year, with all the other duties that he has had to carry out. He also has worked on the Senior Class Book in the capacity of editor. Jim's outside activities are as numerous as those that he has in school. His favorite pastime is skiing, or should it be pronounced “shiing ? Jim is going to enter Dartmouth next fall, and we all know he will make the best of his opportunities up there in the country where men are men. There is a possibility that Jim's interests may carry him into the field of journal' ism, or business administration. He hopes to enter the Amos Tuck Business School at Hanover. We all wish him the best of luck and success. 16
