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.

ROBERT T. BARRY Bob” entered Kingswood in the third form and immediately plunged vigorously into school life, playing on the intermediate football and baseball teams and winning his intermediate K” in the former. In his next year Bob earned letters on both the inter- mediate football and baseball teams, and was a member of the hockey and rifle squads. As a junior he was a first team man in football, hockey, and baseball, and joined that group of sluggers” which went under the mis- nomer of the class basketball team”. In the senior year he completed his enviable athletic record by again ob- taining awards in football, hockey, and baseball, and again striving for the class basketball team. Aside from being a good athlete, Bob has also been a mental whiz” — in his senior year he made the Honor Roll and was a member of the chess team. This same year he also received two of the highest positions attainable: he was made a prefect and elected the class president; he has competently filled both these positions. During his spare time Bob can be found up to his neck in model T” ’s. He has an insatiable desire to find out what makes them tick (and refuse to), and constantly appears in physics class with bulging pockets containing coils, generators, and other spare parts. Bob is quite reticent about his feminine friends, but he is reputed to be anything but backward in this respect. Of course he considers himself omniscient in their wicked wiles and has never yet been caught. Watch out Bob! One of these days they’ll use a bear trap. Next year Bob plans on entering Princeton with several other seniors. We feel confident that he will have good luck there and continue his bril- liant record. 10
