CITATION TO THE CLASS OF THIRTY-NINE On Kingswood’s battle front when hardy foes — Insidious habits, ever prone to raid, 111 customs, savage ignorance — arose. You faced them self-reliant, unafraid, Repulsed them, bore the Wyvern standard on Year after year throughout the long campaign Of school days. So, your valiant legion gone, Its bright courageous spirit shall remain, An inspiration often called to mind By those who fill your sector in the line. Well fought! Your comrades who remain behind Pay tribute to your banner, Thirty-nine! h. w.g.

OREWORD This book is presented by the Class of 1939 as a token of our esteem for the ideals and traditions of Kingswood— for the feeling of fairness and universal friendliness which per- vades the entire school. But neither the grounds and buildings nor the students create this democratic atmosphere: it emanates from a liberal and magnanimous headmaster through an equitable and sympathetic faculty. It is our hope that we have, in our years here, become imbued with this spirit and that it may always be with us.
