Jr. It is a special privilege for me to baptize this Book, because 1942 is the first Class of which I have been the Form Master. More pleasure than duty, I am afraid, has been involved in my job, but I shall always be grateful for the chance it has given me of improving my acquaintance, and I hope that friendships formed this year will permanently endure. I envy the Class the high hopes and adventures that lie before them. They will not belie their training here, or fail to make their proper contribution to victory and peace. G.R.H.N.

What is to come They know not; but each flyers heart is steeled. His mind, his muscles trained, each sense intent His leader’s call to combat to obey. Up. up those great birds soar, on duty bent. To battle savage foemen far away. Each navigator, pilot, gunner knows That on his prompt, calm readiness depends Some portion of our country’s might, which flows Unstinted to protect our homes, our friends; He must not hesitate—he must not quail— Though Death's black chasm yawn, he will not fail!

Harold Willard Gleason %2 JAMES LATIMER BELLIS At the beginning of our eighth grade year, a small, bashful, and quiet hoy en- tered our class in the person of Jim Beilis. He soon proved himself to he anything hut insignificant by excelling in all sports in which he participated for the Lancaster Club. As time went on, Jim came more and more out of his shell. By the time that our class entered the senior school, he had proved that he was a leader as well as be- coming one of the Darling Doctor’s Mon- day morning colic kids. This change into a regular weekender is still a problem as to whether it was for better or worse. His Fourth Form year was rather stag- nant when it comes to being outstanding. Although he did play Intermediate soccer, Jim had an unfortunate accident in the winter when he injured his knee and was kept out of hockey. This was the year that Jim decided to see how the other half lives and consequently did a great deal of prowling about on weekends. Last year was a gala one as Jim became a shining light in our class. He was elected secretary of his class at the beginning of the year and became a stellar part of the varsity soccer team. Continuing throughout the year as a kingpin in sports, he played a vicious game of both hockey and lacrosse and finished up the year as a three-letter man. This year the tables turned. Jim, who used to be one of the few Oxford woman-haters left in our set, gained quite a good deal of interest in them. Now his favorite extra-curricular activity is “wolfing” a certain member of Oxford. In the short time that he spends in school he has managed to find time to cap- tain the soccer team through a brilliant season and play a rugged game of both hockey and lacrosse again. Needless to say he proved himself to be still an all-around athlete and good guy. As most of us know. Jim is headed down the river for Wesleyan, where he hopes to “pass” the next few years. 8 CARL MICHAEL BENGS '42 When school opened at the beginning of the freshman year, the class had a new member in the person of Carl Michael Bengs who, entering in one of our more notorious years, proceeded to hold his own in a scholastic way with little trouble. In the fall of this year Mike played tennis as one of two who chose this sport. That first year, and, for that matter, each year since then he has gone out for skiing in the winter term. Unfortunately this skiing has consisted mostly of running the mile because of the rather consistent lack of snow. The sophomore year found “Mike” a little more interested in extra-curricular activities. The Rifle Club attracted him to its membership and he promptly won his first seven bars. Mike’s athletics this year followed the same pattern as the previous year. In his junior year he changed his athletic program violently by entering football, also violently. The end of the year found Mike a member of the Wyvern board to which he contributed from time to time. In the spring term he was listed as a member of the softball team, but he passed the season without showing up to a single session. After 1940 had slipped into the past and this year was upon us, “Car- michael” was again to be found on the football field, but this was soon changed to a blanket excuse from exercise. He widened the scope of his extra-curricular activity by enrolling as a member of the Choir and Choral Club to which he has lent his support throughout the year. His contributions to the Wyvern con- tinued, and he was elevated to the post of Exchange Editor. This spring Michael again was among the members of the softball team. This year, however, he exercised faithfully. His main hobby is his music. Unlike most of his classmates he tends to keep pretty strictly to the classics of which he is the class master. Though uncertain about his choice of college he expects to follow a pre-medical line. 9 '42 ROBERT EVERETT CARROLL, JR. As the Class of ’42 began its glorious Fourth Form year, there was a stranger in its midst, a fellow named Boh Carroll. It did not take long for Boh to become one of the gang, and he soon entered whole- heartedly into its various activities. To start the hall rolling, he secured the left end position on the Intermediate football team and thus obtained a letter. In the Dramatic Club, Bob l egan his thespian activities as a chorus girl in that memorable tragedy. Little Red Riding Hood. By this time Little Robert was a member in good standing of “Doc” Craw- ford’s “colic club,” a position he has man- aged to retain ever since by virtue of his cadaverous Monday morning appearance. During the winter he hibernated as an obscure member of the hockey squad, but in the spring he awoke as a member of the new ly formed lacrosse group. In his junior year. Bob continued his previous program of sports, having nowr advanced to the first squads, while in the spring, in appreciation of his lacrosse prowess, he was elected captain of the team. He became a member of the class “Board of Directors” and won his class numerals. To his activities in the Dramatic Club he added those of the Math Club and second rifle team. For his work on the News board, he was elected assistant editor and in this capacity edited the second page. In June, he was chosen to be a Prefect for the year to come. Bob received some bad luck next football season for he fractured a verte- bra in practice and thus was benched for the season. Hockey time found him rarin’ to go again and he was awarded a letter for playing right wing. In his spare time Bob shot well on the first rifle team, and in the spring continued his duties as lacrosse captain for the second year. As proof of their faith in Bob’s ability the class chose him to edit this classbook. Bob was on hand at all the social events and very rarely was he unaccom- panied. Bob plans to enter Yale this summer where along with his regular course of study he will prepare for a possible career in the Navy. 10 %2 EDWARD BALDWIN CHAMBERLIN Round and chubby, Ed, the future Ed Diablo of the class of 42, first set foot on Kings wood’s grounds in the sixth grade. He soon became well adjusted and as he was well advanced for his years, he proved to lie a mainstay in the York club, mainly due to his outstanding participation in all major sports. Things went well for Ned in the sev- enth grade, and his year was highlighted by the famous trip to the shore with Doc Crawford and his strong-arm gang. For the next three years Ed played In- termediate football, skiing in the winter. By the end of his Fifth Form year Ed was well up in the top rank of his class. He had received his letter as a guard on the first football team and was elected next year’s captain. His versatile athletic- ability was also shown on the hockey rink and the lacrosse field, for which sports he won his “K”. His activities did not stop with sports, for because of his endless labors for the Kingswood News, he was elected Assistant Editor, and also a class member of the Student Council. In his last year as a mighty senior, Ed did a fine job as a Prefect, and although he was put out of commission in the first game of the season, he made a good football captain and kept up the spirit of the team. In winter sports Ed has also been outstanding. His playing this year on the ice was most notable and it served to put him in good shape for lacrosse. But alas, his appendix acted up and out it came so that he couldn’t play lacrosse and had to l e content to spend his exercise periods getting a tan. Perhaps with more interest in living than learning, Ned has lived up to the standards of a Kingswood 42cr. He is to be seen at all the big social functions, either with his own girl or somebody else’s, and his car’s to be seen nearly every afternoon somewhere near Prospect Avenue. Ed plans to go to Bowdoin, and if he keeps up the good work, he should have no trouble in Incoming a successful doctor. 11 %2 the Board he actively participated SEWARI) RUSH COFFIN Rush Coffin entered the class at the beginning of our First Form year. His athletic program in the junior school was filled by participation in football, skiing, and baseball in all of which he contrib- uted greatly to the York Club. The freshman and sophomore years found Rush engaging more in school life. He entered into extra-curricular activities of all types, in the meanwhile adhering pretty well to his former athletic program. He became a regular contributor to the Wyvern and earned a position in the Dramatic Club by a very good perform- ance in The Taming of the Shrew. Rush’s junior year began with foot- ball in the fall months. As a member of in writing of the Wyvern. Again a princi- pal member of the Dramatic Club Rush starred this year in Sunset Becomes Rhythm. He was again to be seen on Monvay’s Hill with the other members of the skiing squad. This spring Rush decided to take a year off from baseball and so he tried his hand at tennis. Always one of our more outstanding students, he has held his place in the class this year with ease, at the same time extending the scope of his extra-curricular activities. As co-editor of the Wyvern he has worked hard to make this year one of the best in the history of its publication. This fall Rush was a member of the first football team and at the end of the season was awarded a major K in the sport. President of the Dramatic Club, he acted the part of the main character in A Night at the Inn. This spring Rush is again to be found on the baseball field as a member of the first team. As an officer of the newly formed Junior Club he was influential in having it accepted by the student body and has served it well since its formation. Rush’s latest contribution to the class is his acceptance of the posi- tion of a Classbook editor. Rush plans to enter Wesleyan next fall, where we feel sure he will add great- ly to its program. 12 '42 ROBERT BLAKE COOLIDGE, JR. Boh first blessed Kingswood with bis presence in the seventh grade, and after considering several offers, be signed with the Lancaster Club. Bob immediately took an active interest in all school activities, an interest which has continued through- out his school career and will be stopped only by the close of Kingswood’s doors in June. By that time, I think, no school club or organization will have been without Bob’s services at one time or another. The close of school this spring will mark the end of Bob’s fifth year with the Kingswood News, where he has served as a sort of jack of all trades. In addition to this, he has served time in the Dramatic Club, the Choir (one often hears his sil- very notes floating from the last row of the choir loft), on the first football squad (where he and Ralph spent a very exciting season acting as technical advisors to JoeG.), in the Common Room as a monitor, and as a bustling mem- her of the lacrosse squad. This year Bob made a very successful business venture: that of managing the Tuck Shop. Besides the pleasure of handing out candy to the youngsters, this job had its pecuniary aspects as well, both of which enticed the “I’ll try anything once” spirit of our hero. “Coolie” has been an executive of some note during his school career. The opening of the winter season has always brought Blake into his own as he assistant managed and managed many a basketball team to fame. His great task ended this year when he managed the first team. Having a great sense of humor. Bob has gone from class to class with jokes, pranks and witticisms. For some he has received applause and for some, the paddle. Bob plans to enter West Point where his waist will become waspish, his phy- sique like Atlas’s, his knowledge unlim- ited and his fame reaching to tin far ends of the world. In fact Robert will undoubt- edly become an institution. 13 212 RICHARD FISK DIMOCK I' ■ ■' • ■ - I- I ' ' ' i- ••:!■ ■•••: K !!.;•- '■■■•■■ ' . : 1 .

Spud has occasionally become blue in the face trying to squeeze cheers from the stands, but as a rule he man- aged to keep the student body in a continual uproar. The Club Committee awarded him his class numerals for his meritorious work in the lower school. In his Fifth Form year. Spud once again rose to the limelight by winning the improvement prize for graduating second in the class and followed through by being made a Prefect this year. For athletics Spud has played intermediate football, and this year he played first team soccer. Spud’s interests are far-flung as well as varied. Although his specialty is horses, he manages to find time for the fairer sex, shooting galleries, flying, fast driving, horse-racing, and above all he holds a charter membership in the Unholy Three. This organization has long been the scourge of West Hartford, but further details must he censored because of the war. Spud rates as one of Doctor Craw- ford’s “colic kids’’ and although he has so far managed to escape the long arm of the law, he has never been able to evade the Doctor’s eagle eye. Spud plans to attend the University of Arizona, where he hopes to join the R. 0. T. C. and thus obtain a commission before the draft catches up with him. We all wish him luck. 14 RICHARD EDWIN DUNNE, JR. Dick’s smiling face first adorned the Kingswood campus in the fall of 1938, when we of ’42 were Third Formers. He began the year playing on the Intermedi- ate football team and receiving his letter. During the rest of the time he played club basketball, inter baseball, shot on the range, and wrote for the News. The following fall was a happy one for “Richard,” for he was chosen presi- dent of the class, for which he never has paid the cigars. That year he was a letter- man on the inter soccer, basketball, and baseball teams. His interest in the News and rifle were continued and he also added his bit to the Glee Club rehearsals. “Big Dick” augmented the first foot- ball eleven his Fifth Form year and filled out his sports program with inter- mediate basketball and first team baseball. His fluent French led him into the Societe de Francais du Kingswood. Ever the man for a full program he com- pleted his with work on the News, publicity board, rifle range, and as Lost and Found monitor. Dick was one of the four returning lettermen on Joe’s football team last fall and this winter he blessed the hockey squad with his presence as manager and substitute goalie. This spring he was a letterman on the first baseball team. The News was again fortunate to have his services as a sports reporter, as was the publicity board. Besides l eing one of the original Prefects appointed last June, he was also Student Mail Carrier and a member of the French Club. When away from Kingswood “Tarzan” spends much of his free time chas- ing blondes and the rest of his spare moments thinking of ones whom he has already chased (only thinking of one at a time though). In line with his social life Dick did his bit in preparing for the in- formal dance given in April. This summer Dick will be joining the ranks of the Harvard men where he plans to follow his father as a doctor. Keep up the good work, Dick, and you’ll come out on top. 15 belted'. O.C. 6c«ry y 'n y WILLIAM FRANCIS EUSTACE, JR. “Lucky Bill” entered Kingswood in the Third Form. After a slow start scholas- tically, he made the honor roll and has been a regular member ever since. In June he won the Dux prize and that he has won each succeeding year. Bill also be- came a regular frequenter of the rifle range, qualifying as an Expert Rifleman and winning the senior school rifle cham- pionship. Early in his Fourth Form year, he was drafted by the Dramatic Club to play the part of a fetching young woman. The thespian remained in the club and has taken part in many of the plays which have since been presented. That year, too, he became by virtue of his trumpet playing (?) a member of the Kenyon Street (is there any more beer in that can, Joe?) Barrelhouse Boys, a hot little jive outfit, which was to become, with a few additions, the Kingswood Orchestra. For three years Bill played soccer. In the winter, track and skiing occupied his time. In the Spring, he played a combination of tennis and softball. This year, however, he decided to forego athletics, although on cold winter nights if one looks closely, he can be found ice or roller skating, and it is rumored that he holds no aversion to galavanting about astride a horse. With the orchestra out of operation this year, Bill satisfied his musical craving by joining the Choir and Choral Club. He is also a staunch supporter of the French table. Bill’s worst vice is his love of dancing, which has held him within Mrs. Godfrey’s Barn for seven or eight years. With one exception he is the only member of the class still attending dancing school. He received his nickname by virtue of an automobile trip, during which he was the chauffeur, to a nearby city. This excursion established his reputation as the “best” driver in the class. The only plans for the future Bill has are to enter Harvard this spring and to get married some day, after he has trav- eled around the World. 16 HART QUIGGLE FENN Hail or Quiggle, it’s purely a matter of preference, is one of the few members of our class who entered in the fifth grade. Nearly all the others who entered along with him have deserted the ranks, but Hart has remained loyally in the school. As no one seems to be able to remem- ber any further back in history than the eighth grade, we must gather up the threads of “Quigg’s” astounding record as a student and all-around man of the world at this point. The first item that caught our notice was that Hart was cap- tain of the Lancaster football team in this year. During the winter this athlete un- doubtedly took up skiing. Being a man of talent. Hart flew, flitted and, though we blush to mention it, probably flopped hither and thither among the snowbanks. This man of the barrel staves continued his very brilliant career throughout the next four years, and as a result we feel that we can say that he certainly and without any doubt cuts quite a caper when the North wind blows. Along with his knack of skiing Hart has worked hard and diligently to acquire the knack of sheing. During his Third and Fourth Form years, Hail squirmed and sweated for the little “K” football team. Naturally this intensive training stood him in good stead when he went to work for the first team. This year he ended a glorious grind on the gridiron by playing as a regular guard on the team. Now to turn from H.Q.’s athletic abilities to those of the stage. He socked the spectators with squeaks, squirms and squeals when taking the part of a sweet little “skirt” in one of the produc- tions of the Doctor’s Dramatic Club. As “Buster” plans to be a bustling business man, he will enter the portals of noble Leicester College (known in the liest circles as the big “L”). Beyond these plans we have not been impolite enough to inquire, but we have found out his views of the present world situation and what should he done about the deplorable con- ditions. Hart seems to be slightly worried concerning his draft number, but we’re sure that in time he will make a general containing the best of qualities. 17 212 In the eighth grade Bill really got “in the groove” athletically. He started out by gaining a letter for his center playing on the Intermediate football team, while in the winter he received a Wyvern for hockey. That spring he captained the York baseball team and in his spare time won the Junior School rifle championship. As a Fourth Former Bill received his third letter for football completing three years of admirable playing as pivot man on the Inters. When winter rolled around again. Bill was out on the ice striving for one of the defense positions on the first team. This year he did not go unrecognized and as a reward for his efforts he was made a regular, and thus received his first big “K”. That spring Bill captained the Intermediate baseball team from his berth at first base, which he held for a second season. WILLIAM WOOD FISHLR Bill joined our gang in the seventh grade and immediately became a staunch supporter of class activities. To this day, whether it be picnics, parties, or “bull ses- sions,” he is usually there putting in his two cent’s worth and getting the most for it. Quiet and unassuming, Bill has re- mained a popular member of the class throughout its colorful career. A junior now, Bill played regular guard on the varsity football team where his playing did not go unnoticed for he was given a position on the All-State Prep School team at the close of the season. Hockey and baseball completed the year and as a reward for his consistently good playing on the hockey team he was elected captain. As a senior, Bill went hack to his favorite position, that of center, and was again a regular on the varsity. As hockey captain he led the team through a success- ful season, winning six and losing hut two. In the spring he was a sort of utility man on the baseball team, seeing sendee both as a first baseman and as a relief pitcher. Bill hasn’t definitely decided as to which college he will attend hut he is at the present slightly inclined toward Dart- mouth where we all feel that he will he as popular as he was here. 18 %2 SAMUEL COCHRANE FOSTER In September of his seventh grade year a pug-nosed kid with his shirt hang- ing out passed through Kingswood’s gates for the first time. Sammy lost no time plac- ing himself foremost both scholastically and athletically. Biggest in the class then, he still holds that record. A small girl was heard to gasp as he trotted by, resplendent in football regalia, “There’s that wonder- ful, big Sam Foster.” He played on the Lancaster teams in the seventh grade, then played on the Intermediate teams in his eighth. In the third form he was on the first football squad and the other two in- termediate teams. From then on he played on all the first teams, receiving his letters in Fifth Form football and baseball. He was one of the few three letter men this year. Sammy is a distinguished rifle- man, was the team’s high scorer, the Wyvern business manager, captain of the baseball team, Student Athletic Representative, a Prefect, and a business manager of the Classbook as well as Harvard Club Prize winner. These are good samples of his ability as a leader. Through all his years he’s had an outstanding and coveted attribute: he is well-liked by everyone he comes in contact with. The exception to this might l e an opposing end or ball-carrier. Another example of people’s esteem for Sam, would be the fact that he’s been going “steady” with one girl for two and a half years. This, by the way, is the class record! Sam has always claimed he has a purely scientific mind, and so it is only proper that he should head for Yale’s engineering school. There he will probably take up mechanical engineering and tackle the problem of building a bet- ter mousetrap. With the world the way it is, it’s pretty hard to make any plans for the future, but wherever he goes or whatever he does, we wish him the best of luck because he certainly deserves it. 19 '212 WILLIAM HARBISON FURNIVALL When we entered the Fifth Form class- room on Tuesday, September 17, 1940, we found that an addition had been made to the illustrious class of 1942. That same day, Bill Furnivall gamboled gaily onto the soccer field and became the first-string goal-guard, thereby earning his major K. Elated over his success on the soccer field, “Furnie” decided to try his luck on Mr. MacDonald’s Intermediate Basketball squad, and in that manner dawdled away the winter term. Spring found him chas- ing foul balls and letting the Governor’s son sit on the bench beside him as he held down the position of assistant manager of baseball. His other extra-class activities have consisted of being a member of the News, Publicity Board, a Library monitor. Math. Club, Chess Club, Dramatic Club, French Play, and the second Rifle Team. Last fall Bill, as goalie with Chick’s crew, played all but about five min- utes of the season’s total time played. During the winter, Will’s athletic activity came to almost a standstill when he joined Joe’s new calisthenics squad. This spring he has taken over the first baseball squad since he was made manager. “Furnie’s” grades have always kept him near the top of his class, and be- cause of his scholastic record, he was awarded the Korper Scholarship last fall. Bill’s chief hobby is the theater—not too high-grade. He considers a Sat- urday morning lost that doesn’t find him first in line for the opening of the doors of the “State.” Following up his theatrical hobby, Bill is chief scene shifter and lighting effects operator for the series of professional children’s plays sponsored by The Junior School. He is also a real magician’s fan, and has learned enough of the patter and the sim- pler tricks of the trade to enable him to mystify some of us on various occasions. Bill’s best subject is mathematics which he expects to make much use of in pursuing a course in engineering at that institution which is the pride of New Jer- sey and Mr. Jacobus—Princeton. 20 '42 DAVID BREWSTER KITFIELD After hitting almost every school in the country, Dave wound up at Kingswood in his freshman year. Ever since he has been in the school, “Kit” has played soc- cer, his favorite sport. From the first day of the season to the last he is easily located on English Field. Off the playing field Dave has been a participant in almost every extra-curricular activity and club. He has been one of the foremost promoters of photography in the school since his third form year. Besides winning top hon- ors in the Camera Club, he became secre- tary of it in his sophomore year, only to win the title of president the following year. In addition to his duties in these capacities, Dave has held positions on both the Wyvern and News. Dave’s skill at the noble and classical rhythm referred to by the general public as “boogie woogie” is widespread knowledge. At almost any social gath- ering he can be found seated before the “ivories” surrounded by a large circle of admiring spectators. It must not be assumed, however, that Dave’s talents are limitecUlo these narrow fields. His abilities in the field of writing are quite extensive; he is, moreover, an ardent reader of Thomas Wolfe. This fall Dave displayed unequaled spirit in soccer. Although unable to attend the last two games of the season because of an unfortunate case of appendicitis, he was awarded his major K. The position of school cheerleader was Dave’s this year, and he worked very hard to do a good job at it. He has one of the best records in the school for attendance at The Doctor’s Mon- day morning clinic. The greatest contribution which Dave has made to his class is his management of the business board of the class book. Predictions for college in Dave’s case are extremely difficult as he intends to work for a commission in the Navy. In any case, we feel sure of his success and wish him the best of luck. 21 212 CHARLES CORNELIUS LYNCH In the fall of 1937 the portals of Kingswood were thrown open to Charlie Lynch, a smiling, happy-go-lucky-fellow, who was destined to become one of the most popular and versatile members of the class of ’42. Charlie immediately joined the Lancaster Club and distin- guished himself by winning his Wyvern in football. In the winter he turned his attention to the sport of skiing and spent many an enjoyable afternoon on the snowy slopes under the leadership of Mr. Goodwin. In the Third Form Charlie played intermediate football and everyone re- members a certain game with Deerfield in which early in the first quarter he was told to warm up preparatory to replacing some one in the starting line up. At the conclusion of the game Charlie was still warming up. This subject has always been a sore point with him. In his Fourth Form year Charlie forsook the more rugged side of football for the position of manager of the Intermediate team. In this capacity he gained his letter and in the winter term he retired to a “white collar” job and spent the winter as chief cook and bottle washer in the Physical Education Department. During the Spring he divided his talents between softball under Mr. Mendenhall and the tennis court. During the Fifth Form year Charlie really blossomed out and became assistant manager of the first football team, a very thankless position which calls for more work than most people would be willing to undertake. In the winter he continued his managerial activi- ties as co-manager of the hockey team for which he gained a minor K. He joined the News and Publicity Boards and his sterling efforts on the News won him the position of editor-in-chief. This year Charlie was one of the origi- nal Prefects as well as manager of the football team, News Editor and a main- stay of the Publicity Board. Charlie will enter Rutgers, where he plans to take a course in journalism to prepare himself for the life of a novelist. 22 %2 JAMES FRANCIS LYNCH, JR. The man with the fancy pants (on his car, you understand) entered this noble institution in the Third Form. That fall, believe it or not, Jimmy took up soccer under Mr. Willie’s supervision. The general belief is that he gave up in despair because of the lack of spirit of the rooters. He had been so used to the public limelight that this lack of enthu- siasm on the part of the spectators simply appalled him. Maybe this was the year when the gallery which has always fol- lowed the intermediate soccer team was watching football or golf. Well, anyway it all goes to show what can make a school lose a fine athlete. The next year this mysterious Don Juan became a meml er of the Camera Club, and as far as we can find out, he spent most of the year in the darkroom. Oh, yes, this year marked the close of his athletic career. At this point James, as “Doc” calls him, joined our class and he spent most of his time becoming acquainted with us and our peculiarities. Then came the junior year when our elusive friend disappeared entirely for at that time he became assistant business manager of the News. He gal- loped from pillar to post pleading and groveling for ads to fill up the spaces in the News. We have heard a rumor that that year the News was made up of three pages of advertisements and a page of news. We have been unable to discover whether it was this year or not that the one and only “two o’clock jump” came into being. Whatever year it really was, this characteristic has been the envy of many, but no one else seemed to understand the involved for- mula that Jim used to achieve success. For a slight sum the wizard might be per- suaded to divulge the info necessary to make an immediate get-away soon after lunch. Lo, the man of the saying, “Here today gone tomorrow,” became a senior and also became the head boss of Bis. Managing the News. We have seen him several times this year, and we wish to report that he was looking very well and had a fine tan. 23 %2 FRED M ACC A BE, JR. Fred joined the class of ’42 in the sixth grade, and immediately started out on his soccer career by playing for York that year. Young Maccabe also took a rifle in his hands for the first time and tried to fill that illusive black circle with lead fired from a none too steady gun. Not being one who discourages easily, he has continued his rifle and has, throughout the years, col- lected eight bars and a government medal for marksmanship. Fred’s life in the junior school was, for the most part, quite uneventful so I will go on to the Third Form where his membership in the Camera Club brought him an honorable mention in one of the school contests. This year also saw Maccabe charging down the soccer field for the Inter- mediates and displaying the skill and stamina which enabled him to become such a valuable member of the first team in his junior and senior years. In his Fourth, Fifth and Sixth Form years Fred, aside from the activities already mentioned, found himself a member of Mr. Goodwin’s ski group, and lately he has been seen about school looking through a transit at someone hold- ing an elongated ruler and shouting “mark” at nobody in particular. He has also joined the ranks of the first-aiders and is now the proud pos- sessor of a diploma which entitles him to give artificial respiration to anyone at any time. Fred has attended most of the social functions about Kingswood, and of late he has been observed practicing the Turkey Trot and the Virginia Reel about school in preparation for his week- ends which are largely spent in ham dancing. Since tire rationing has gone into effect Fred has been riding about town on a bicycle which is loaded down with all the comforts of home, except a heater and a cigarette lighter, and Fred says that these will be delivered any day now. Next year Fred will enter the Univer- sity of Virginia where he will take a B.A. course. 24 %2 CHARLES FRANCIS MANSFIELD On a September day in the year 1937, Charlie Mansfield made his debut in the seventh grade at Kingswood. Almost at once he began to make a name for him- self by gaining a regular position on the Lancaster soccer team as a fullback. Chubby then went ahead in his studies, preparing for the day when be would get his diploma. Mr. Jacobus enrolled him as a regular member of his English class, a class which bad a knack for losing and gaining members quickly. Towards the end of the year, in May, Chubby was elected Secretary of the Lancaster Club, an office which he carried out exception- ally well. Again in the fall of his eighth grade year he won his large Wyvern at the same position. Chubby won many friends during these first two years by his friendly manner. Upon entering his freshman year, the class of ’42 elected Chubby class secretary, and re-elected him again in its sophomore and senior years. This year also saw the “West Hill Wizard” looking about at the various extra- curricular activities, the Wyvern Board, the Dramatic Club, and the Photog- raphy Club, which he was to join in his sophomore year. The Fourth Form year found Chubby playing as a substitute halfback on the varsity soccer team, a position which he completely took over for the next two years and where he was a great asset to the team. The school awarded Chubby his Major “K” two years in a row for his untiring efforts on the soccer field, and the tennis team used him to great advantage this year. This year Chubby was elected perma- nent class secretary and co-editor of the Wyvern, as well as being voted a Prefect at mid-years in recognition of bis ability. Next year Chubby plans to enter Cor- nell. where he will take up Scientific Farming. We know that be will do as well there as he did at Kingswood if he keeps up his good sense of humor, and his friendly manner towards all. The school will miss him next year. 25 42 EDWARD WILLIAM MINK, JR. Ed became a member of the Kings wood clan when be transferred from the Thomas H. Patterson Grammar School in Bristol and entered the Second Form. Immediately joining the Lancaster Club, he played right wing on the club soccer team. In his Third Form year Ed was to be found in the shop, surrounded by boat kits. Here he turned out model boats in mass production style. The following year Ed signed up for the Photography Club, played on the intermediate soccer squad, went out for skiing in the winter term, and spent the spring term on the tennis courts. During the fall session of his Fifth Form year, Ed could be seen trudging to and from the soccer field loaded down with water buckets and the other impedimenta of the first soccer team. He was now assistant manager of that noble troop. Mr. McKee’s Glee Club also benefited by Ed’s presence. In the Sixth Form Eddie became manager of the first soccer team and duly received his major “K” for his services. Ed is probably one of the out- standing experts on the 3:30 departure in the school (naturally excepting Jimmie Lynch, the ace of them all), and he and his ’40 Buick Coupe mysteri- ously vanish on time every day. Ed’s favorite recreation is skiing, and he avails himself of every oppor- tunity to pursue it, spending much of his time on Suicide “6” in Vermont or the “Nosedive” on Mt. Mansfield. Other hobbies in which Ed indulges are model trains and “beating it out” on a newly acquired set of drums. He also gets a great deal of enjoyment out of add- ing numerous trimmings to his sparkling blue Buick. Its bright wheels and glitter- ing chromium trim are a familiar sight on the campus. Ed’s personality, generosity, and good nature make him well-liked by all his classmates, and although his college plans are not definite at this time, he is sure to make good in the college of his choice. 26 '42 ATWOOD COLLINS PAGE, JR. Kingswood School was honored in 1934 by the entrance within its walls of one At- wood Collins Page, Junior, a likeable chap who soon made a name for himself both scholastically and athletically. He was promptly placed in the York Club, and made the victorious York soccer team. In the First Form “Bookie” achieved the noble task of building a rowboat which sank at its launching in Trout Brook. As a member of the notorious Third Form “The Saint” was one of the two members of his class who made the rifle team. Two years later he was elected cap- tain, leading it through one of the most delightful years in its history. “Boxwood,” as an illiterate member of the Senior Class preferred to slander him, has gone out for soccer, skiing, and softball, respectively in the fall, winter, and spring of all his senior school terms. The only exception to this was lacrosse, at which our hero was a pioneer, going out for it the first year it was played here. In his Fifth Form year “Bookie” guitared in the newly-formed orchestra, crooned his way into the Glee Club, and wrote sonnets in study hall. Although not a great scholar, preferring the more serious aspects of life, “Bookie” reaped honor and glory in his final exams, and he won the biology and chem- istry awards. Collins concluded this eventful year by receiving a prefectship. Prefect Page made the first soccer team in his senior year, and in the spring decorated the softball field. Continuing his musical career. Bookie has joined the Choir and liecame a member of a radical harmonic group which crashes about in the music rooms. He was again elected rifle captain and successfully led the team through its difficult schedule. Outside of school, “Bookie’s” chief interest is science. He reads scores of scientific books and knows bacteriology from a to z. His secondary hobby is music, at which he is very energetic, play- ing both the guitar and piano. Atwood expects to attend Lafayette College, and then continue his work at Harvard Medical School. RALPH STAGE RAREY Ralph Rarey entered this class in his third form year, in the fall of 1938. He played Intermediate soccer during the fall, and in the winter term a combination of winter sports and track-pounding kept him out of mischief to a certain extent. The springtime found Ralph enjoying sun baths on the tennis courts. Ralph’s sophomore year was mem- orable because of his performance as a student of Miss Custard’s School for Young Ladies in the Dramatic Club’s pres- entation of Little Red Riding Hood. Such of his spare time as was not occupied by the Dramatic Club Ralph spent on the rifle range, where he showed considerable promise. Ralph continued playing inter- mediate soccer, hut he changed to hockey from winter sports. Spring again saw him playing tennis. In his Fifth Form year “Rollo” left the soccer group to play intermediate football. During the winter term he was dormant as far as athletics are con- cerned, concentrating his energies on studies and extra curricular activities; he continued his rifle and joined the French Club, refusing to let his knowledge of French stand in the way. He also became a member of the Fifth Form Math Club, and even though math was not his best subject Ralph enjoyed and bene- fited from the club. In the spring term Ralph became a member of the newly formed lacrosse squad, which must have satisfied any brutality in his nature, as tennis had not. His senior year found Ralph promoted from the intermediates to the first football squad, for which he gladly passed many an afternoon on the bench. “Rollo’s” last winter term at Kingswood saw him building himself up to incredible propor- tions with the various Yogi exercises of Joe Gargan’s calisthenics group. In the spring term Ralph was again a valuable member of the lacrosse team. He was a member of the senior Math Club and also a member of the circulation hoard of the News. Ralph is planning to go to Trinity, where he hopes to study for the medical profession. 28 '42 DENNIS C. REDDEN, JR. September Seventeenth, 1941, was in- deed a lucky day for Kingswood School, because it was on that Tuesday morning that Dennie Redden officially became a member of the Student Body. After having completed his regular course of study at William Hall High last year, Dennie ambled across Trout Brook to continue his academic career at the home of the Wyvern. Since he had captained and starred on Hall’s soccer team the previous year, it was generally thought that he would have little trouble becoming the spearhead of the attack as a member of Chick’s merry men. However, after Mr. Gargan had one look at his build. Redden, although he had never played football before, was persuaded to see if he couldn’t put all that muscle to much better use by taking over the responsibilities of the quarterback position on Joe’s undermanned eleven. This he did, and his running, passing, kicking, and defensive playing were a large factor in the team’s success. As soon as he had his bearings at Kingswood, Dennie began his extra-cur- ricular activities by joining the sports staff of the News where he and his crys- tal ball got together and batted out some surprisingly accurate football predic- tions. Last winter Dennie easily won a starting berth on the hockey squad, since he had also captained that sport while at Hall. He was in the forward line where he featured in most of the scoring plays. This spring Dennie again proved his athletic ability by becoming a regular in the infield of the Wyvern nine. Because of his shyness, Dennie hasn’t taken a big part in the school social activi- ties, but the other members of the class are carefully keeping their feminine friends out of his sight for fear that his red hair and handsome features will win his way into their hearts. Dennie is still undecided as to his col- lege, but he says he has a slight inclina- tion towards Cornell or Colgate. 29 '42 DOUGLAS JAMES ROBERTS, JR. Jim entered the Class of ’42 in its Third Form year and has been engaged in its activities, of one sort or another, ever since. He immediately took up soccer, a sport which occupied his autumn after- noons thereafter. Ever since he was big enough to pull the trigger of a BB gun, Jim has led the squirrels of Prospect Ave- nue and Bolton a merry chase, and un- doubtedly this practice was not in vain for he quickly earned a place on the Second Rifle Team. Skiing was his winter sport and spring found him involved in the ten- nis racket. To start his Fourth Form year off with a hang, Jim was awarded a K for Inter- mediate soccer as well as a letter for shoot- ing on the First Rifle team. During the winter he became active in the Camera Club and also continued to ski. In the spring a broken ankle banished all his hopes of baseball success and he was forced to fade out of the sporting spot- light temporarily. In his Junior year, Jim climbed up another rung in the ladder of his soccer career and became a member of the First Soccer squad. His steady shooting on the rifle team harvested another letter for him, and to his interests in the Camera Club he added those of the Math Club. The balmy spring weather lured him out to the softball diamond and he could frequently he seen chasing Scotty’s wild throws to first base. At the start of his Senior year Jim played fullback on the First Soccer team thus gaining a major K. During the winter he won another letter for Rifle, played on the class basketball team, par- ticipated in the Math Club. Chess Club, and last hut not least the 3:30 Club. In order to round out his sports career, Jim decided to try his hand at lacrosse and won himself a defense position. Next August Jim is planning to enter Randle School to prepare for Annapolis. We all feel sure that upon graduation from there he will he appointed an ad- miral and detailed to the important job of patrolling Bolton Lake in his re-fitted row- boat. Whatever his job may he, we all feel sure that he will he a success. 30 %2 CHESTER ARTHUR SNOW, JR. Chet first roared through Kings wood’s gates in 1939, accompanied by his Model “A” Ford. He entered the Fourth Form, after coming from William Hall High School, with hut one goal in mind, and that was to prepare himself for a college career. In his Fourth Form year he imme- diately joined the Rifle Club, and has been an outstanding member of it ever since. Chet played intermediate soccer, and was content with running the mile throughout the winter and spring terms. The Fifth Form year found Chet a member of the orchestra, in which he very capably handled the position of drummer. He wrote the Swing Column for the News, in which he discussed the very latest popular records on sale. He was a mem- ber of the Math Club, and received bis letter for rifle. As usual, he stuck to running the mile as hi$ form of exercise. Chet really went places in his senior year. He started off with a bang by joining the Choir and the Choral Club and since that time has been a faithful member of them both. He was again a member of the Rifle Team. Chet’s atti- tude toward music changed from the popular style to the classics. He wrote a column for the News, entitled, “The Music World,” and in this column he discussed the works of great composers whom he ardently admires. During this year, Chet built up quite a library of classical records, not to mention the hundreds of popular records that he has been collecting over a period of years. Incidentally, if you ever need a good mechanic, just call on Chet. He has taken his flashy blue Ford apart count- less times, and it still has that distinctive purr which is known to all Model “A” owners. Chet plans to go to Worcester Tech next fall and delve into the mysteries of mechanical engineering. In the words of Chet himself, “I'll get that car running right if it takes four years of college to do it.” Seriously though, we wish him loads of luck. 31 '42 lived down. DAVID GROTE THORNTON In the fall of 1937, a new member joined Doe Crawford’s notorious Eighth Grade. Dave began his athletic activities in which he has been most outstanding during his years at Kingswood as a mem- ber of the York Club by playing football, basketball, and baseball. At the end of the year he was awarded his Club pin. In the Fourth Form he won letters in intermediate basketballl and baseball and was awarded the Anthony Prize for being the most outstanding member of the class. This year also Dave had his first encounter with the law. Rcturuing from a game with a carload of baseball players, he was stopped by an officer for doing 38 m.p.m. in a 35 m.p.h. zone. This he has never Dave changed from football to soccer in the fall of his Fifth Form year, and succeeeded in winning a letter in this sport. He also won his colors in bas- ketball and was elected captain of the team. He was elected president of the class, a position which he continued to hold, and in June, he was appointed Senior Prefect, by virtue of which he heads the Student Council. During his Sixth Form year he served on the Business Board of the News. Most of Dave’s interests lie outside of school. He enjoys sailing his boat on Coventry Lake, and once served a term as president of the Coventry Sailing Club. Before the present tire and gasoline situation, Dave spent most of his Sunday afternoons riding around in his flashy, multi-lighted convertible. His favorite hobby is listening to “good” bands, notably Sammy Kaye and Claude Thornhill. Disregarding studies (one of his minor vices) most of Dave’s time in school has been taken up with sports, with the exception of a brief flight into the Math Club in his Fifth Form year, and he plans to continue his athletic activities when he enters Leicester Business College next fall. 32 nillAllOB FIRST FOOTBALL SQUAD Front row, left to right: W.

SI LITERATURE ’42 WE’RE not quite sure how much of this you are going to be able to swallow, but there’s no harm in trying. The first form master with whom we were blessed was Mr. Werner, who told us all about the great clubs of York and I ancaster. Naturally at this time we couldn't add much to the actual score of the clubs, but what we lacked in skill we had in wit, humor, and otherwise. Hart had quite a time with the Doc’s cupids. Whenever he viewed their rotund forms, he was so convulsed that he couldn't speak for several weeks. At this time Bookie had a narrow escape, and as a result Kingswood practically lost one of her fair sons. Being excused from exercise naturally meant that the dear boy was to be called for by Auntie. When she arrived, her nephew was nowhere to be found. Finally after searching diligently for several hours, Merriman retrieved the lad from Trout Brook with all his clothes on and with the temperature at about ten degrees below zero. E. Bartlett ran about sixty yards for a touchdown in football and thus won great acclaim and an undying fame in the annals of Kingswood. Then one day in midwinter W. Greene, G. Crawford, and A. Werner decided to give a skating party, which closed with a gusty hockey game. The unhappy result was that Willie had his beezer bashed, the blood flowed, the “Hairbrush Kid” flew into hysterics, while Artie the Smartie wrung his hands and tried to look helpful. During the next year we had the Dear Doctor as our form master and our shoulder to cry on. Throughout this year the class was taught in mathematics by Mr. Blake and his memorable niece. Mr. Jacobus dismissed Huntting from class when he supposedly Bronx cheered. During this year practically the entire class set out for an unbelievably calm visit to Ned’s cottage. There were no casualties other than Anthony, who consumed lbs. and lbs. of chocolate and other items with the usual results, and also John Marshall Holcomb III, who almost succumbed. Owing to a pillow of goose feathers and a case of asthma, wheezes, gurgles, gasps, and groans rang out from the poor soul. Many thought him quite dead, but luckily it was only the pillow. All through the year Spud had attack after attack of appendicitis, but as one might have easily guessed, none was very1 serious, and the patient recovered immediately upon leaving the school grounds. Again we were graced with the Doctor as our leader and friend. The year did not fully begin until the school had been running for several weeks, for at the end of this time Andrews and Coffin entered our midst. Because of the complete illiteracy of the class. Latin was not even attempted during this year. Mr. Jacobus petrified the poor, pathetic English students to such an extent that the boys lost their color along with their brains, all in one wallop. Naturally we expect some 54 %2 one to bring up the question of what brains they ever actually had, but we assure you that this has absolutely nothing to do with the case. Hapgood came to school and brought with him Mr. Landon. who enjoyed himself so much within these fair walls that he remained for the rest of the year. Mr. MacDonald was married quietly during the Washington’s Birthday holiday, and when B. Fisher heard the news, he mused as to when the Doc would do likewise. Spud came back with the retort that Doc or Mr. Williams wouldn’t get married (too old), but maybe Mr. Jacobus would, for he was quite good-looking. As a sequel to Spud’s ailment. Freddy now devised the system of the one and only Scratchy Throat. During the year the majority of the class made a second visit to Ned’s cottage. The only difference in the trips was that this time every one was forced to foot a tidy little hill when the crowd bashed in windows, busted plates, and enjoyed them- selves thoroughly. The poor distraught Doctor was heard to mumble in his beard. “Never again, never again.” Now the class reached the point where they were the big frogs in the little puddle instead of being little frogs in a big pool. Mr. Crawford was still with us, (how he stood it is more than the average person is able to figure out). The club committee consisting of Dimock, Hunter, and Allen for the Yorks and Anthony, Foster, and Mansfield for the Lancasters formed that memorable Club Hoorn foi the first time and began to raise money in many different ways. (How well do we remember.) J. Williams had a very fascinating year slaving and striving for Mr. Sharp, while Anthony and Weld had an equally fine time with Mr. Greene in his Community Civics. Weld didn't really seem to enjoy the year though we can’t for the life of us discover why. Now after waiting anxiously for many years the class began that intriguing study of French and Latin. The only other point which seems to catch our notice is that the Discipline Committee baffled and be- fuddled those’ members of our form who happened to come in contact with them. The smoke was so thick that the pathetic students were unable to see whom they were talking to. Now we have entered (believe it if you can) the senior school. It turned out to he rather dull after all so the class did their bit in attempting to enliven the school. With Mr. Farquhar as form master and with McCain and Mansfield as officers, the class was unbelievably a bunch of HELL RAISERS, though there was no reason for them to be. The students did have quite a time in study hall under George Flynn when everyone insisted on seeing just how much noise he was capable of making by stamping his feet. Believe you me they were definitely enthused over the results and they were rather dismayed when all their privileges were taken away from them. Well, such is life. The low water mark was reached when the boys simply couldn't seem to understand either French or Latin. At this point quiz kid Eustace joined the ranks to sweep us on to new heights. Also at this time Dunne the lover appeared upon the scene. Again thinking of our innards we wish to mention that Foster and Anthony managed at one luncheon to consume 55 '212 seven hot dogs and one half a dozen doughnuts apiece. You can guess at the results, and if you don't succeed, we won’t enlighten you. Along with this falls one Mr. Huntting with his famous and fabulous chicken sandwich. Together with a very cute little cotton chick this sandwich was digested day after day in that period before lunch when the boys were in Mr. W s I tin class. Now getting on in the world, the class became Fourth Formers. Once again under the jurisdiction of Doc Crawford, we had Dunne and Mansfield as our officers. Lo and Behold, who should appear but: (taken without permission from a famous poem) “I would not use the dirty weed.” said Utile Robert Heed. Now comes upon the stage for the first real appearance: GIRLS—GIRLS—GIRLS and more GIRI«S. Beilis brought forth from hiding his midget. Need we go any further into this discussion? The gents of the form cooked up a typical plot or plan (whichever you prefer). Over the program “Music by Request” there was heard weekly: The Beer Barrel Polka, requested by Mr. Mendenhall; varied songs by request of the Duke; Mr. Jacobus in his requests was often engaged; and Mr. C. was so often quoted as engaged that the announcer called him a bigamist. Miss Custard's School was produced, including a marvelous recitation by Fenn (in circular drawers) on the Woman's Province. with Eustace, and a ravishing chorus made up of Coolidge, Carroll, and Coffin, who couldn't stand it any longer and so left the stage in the middle of the act accompanied by himself. The others stayed to the finish, and as a result they were never the same after that. During the year Dunne appeared with a new girl. Charlie had unfortunately to sell his Austin. By this deal he made no profit whatsoever. With such business acumen as this, he can’t help becoming a financial success. The fabulous chicken sandwich was completely consumed this year, and Huntting left from lack of food. Chet breezed into school in his sky-blue chariot with the pink plush cushions and the built-in jelly beans. Thornton sauntered off with the Anthony prize, and soon afterwards set out for Waterbury. Mr. Waterman found his Latin class this year very well prepared, and with this in mind all the students received swell-elegant grades. Good old Doc Elliott struggled with the upper French, and it was a struggle. Now the class reached new and startling places when they became members of the Fifth Form. With Mr. Gleason as form master, and Dave and Jimmy as officers, the class was very well behaved. At the very beginning of this year one Smith and one Dimock visited Montreal, to enlist in the Canadian forces. Naturally they stayed at the Mount Royal and went on sight-seeing tours every spare moment. Doc missed them so much that he spent seventeen of those elusive little green scraps on a forty-minute telephone argument. Finally after viewing life in Canada, the bad boys came home; i. e. Smithy on the train, and Spud on the plane. (N. B. The Doc didn’t even spank them). This year the class had a major part in staging that magnificent performance of Fillipeening Figaro. During this play such famous characters appeared as: Mansfield the mother, and a street car full of Mandy Foster. Bum Coolidge. Henrietta (Carroll. W. C. T. U. Thompson. Cheapgirl Smith. D. A. R. Eustace, and Little Boy Blue Beilis. Since this play received such 56 %2 widespread acclaim, the Dramatic Club decided to do one with Oxford. In this drama the class was ably represented by Don Juan Coffin doing his stuff. As an added interest Hush pursued a sheet frantically over the stage. Humm. quite a physique the boy has! A very interesting and instructive time was had by some of the class when they met Mr. Mendenhall in chemistry. Boom-Crash-Stink-Phew! Everyone was very much charmed by drinking Chamberlin's distilled wine, and in sampling Smith's water pipe. Most of those who did grew very woozy and have stayed thus for practically a year. You can sec what a fine subject chemistry is. This year many of the class began to enter into the activities of either the News or the Wyvern. Bengs seemed to enjoy his spring exercise very much as he never appeared. No. we're mistaken on that statement; Carmichel came out to view the situation once. That wild Ed Mink began at this time to visit Eddie O'Connor's, and he has kept up a very fine record. Whee! Dunne had a new flame. “It can't be true!'' gasped the world. Yes, those boys have now become seniors. Well, well, and well, strange things happen all the time. With Mr. Nicholson as form master the class was well represented if you know what we mean. Dave and Chubby were officers and many of the fellas were prefects. Dunne the Lover came to school ohing and ahing and sighing with a new Blossom Girl in his wallet. Dave, Jimmy, and Ned went to Oxford this year. The class under W. the W.’s supervision compiled the student's Bill of Bights and thoroughly enjoyed themselves thereby. Furnivall got 100; what did you get? Beilis finished Wool worth’ Easter eggs; they finished him. Mansfield kissed manfully; the audience roared. The Junior Club became the Cafe Society of Hartford. Jimmy (L.): here today, gone tomor- row. That's what you expect after two o'clock! Dave enjoyed the lunches at school immensely; he didn't enjoy the Doc. Kedden. that brokendown debauchee, struggled through the year, making team after team. Roberts and Harey ended their checker match with a score of 187 to 194. M ho won? Why ask such a foolish question? And so does this chapter close with deep and prolonged sighs, for soon there are only memories. But maybe they are better after all. The class of 1942 now- separates and scatters far and wide as does chaff when blown by the wind.
