Richard Thomas Allen Third Form —'45 Dick One school’s loss is another’s gain as the saying might well go. Such was the case when Dick left Hall High School and let fall the shadow of his much talked about nose on the Senior green at Kingswood. He joined Mr. MacDonald’s basketball and baseball teams, the latter of which he was elected captain, and showed so much promise in that sport that he caught the last two first team games. Rich was promoted to the fourth form and again joined the MacDonaldmcn in football and basketball, playing on the first team in baseball. Dick’s name hit the gossip column in the News when the father of one of his girl friends caught him in an affectionate good-night on the doorstep. Playing the part of Romeo in the Dramatic Club production for that year must have gone to his head. Nose, president of his class, joined Doc’s hairbrush, the dormant fourth form dance committee, and the News, of which he was later made managing editor. His fifth form year was filled with many activities, playing first team football, basketball, and baseball. The Dramatic and Choral Clubs, the News and school and class dance committees were honored by his presence. During this eventful year, Nose saw the upper part of New York City in a place called the Alamac, in Times Square, and also the other side of Boston in such places of good reputation as The Old Howard, etc. In his sixth form year, Dick again played first team football but found, to his utter dis- may, that his organ of smell was not as impregnable as previously supposed. When he was finally excavated from the corpulant body of a teammate, parts of his nose could be found on almost any section of what was left of his face. He did a fine job as News editor, and Prefect, giving up winter athletics to. smoke his pipe, study, listen to hill-billy music, and prepare for the captaincy of the baseball team- Middlebury 8
