Millard Stevens Bartels Bart” Steve is one of the last two boys in the school, to have spent eight years at Kings- wood. Many times “Bart” used to baffle Mr. Nicolson, the late founder and head- master, in some of Mr. Nicolson’s famous Bible classes. Steve immediately became a member of the choir, and he joined the York Club. He won his pin by getting Wyverns for different sports. Bart played soccer during his Fifth and Sixth Grade years, but he decided that he would like a rougher sport such as foot- ball. Since the First Form Steve has been a steady member of some football team as a defensive end. He won his numerals after playing on the illustrious O’Harc football team. When Steve was in the Fifth and Sixth Forms, he received a major “K” for football. During the winter months “Bart” could be found in the afternoons, wrestling in the “Black Pit” with Coach Knapp yelling for more blood. Steve thought that wrestling could get him in shape best for lacrosse. “Bart” took up lacrosse in his Third Form year, and he showed that he had great ability from the beginning. Steve was a starting member of the team in both his Fourth and Fifth Form years. Both years Steve won a letter for his fight and spirit. Although Steve was very busy with athletics, not to mention his studies, he still found time for some extra curricula activities. Steve joined the XVyvcrn literary board in his Second Form year and has been writing for the Wyvern ever since. He also is writing the first part of the class history for the Blacf( and Crimson. “Bart” teamed up with Gate Salsbury in their Fourth Form as one of the insurance salesmen in The Showoff, and they stole the show. Steve also acted in the Kingswood-Oxford production of Our Town. When George Jenkins left for Wilbraham, Steve became business manager of the News. During the eight years at Kingswood, Steve has done a creditable job in his studies. We know that Steve's attitude and his willingness to help others will always bring him friends. 8
