Sidney Scott “Sid” Sid slid enigmatically into the class in our Fourth Form year. In spite of Ap Scavcrn’s and Ed Knapp’s interest in him he remained more or less anonymous until spring. Then, due to his father's white college reunion coat, he was just about to be awarded the concession for red- hots and rootbeer when the coach recalled his ability on the football and basketball jayvee squads and gave him a chance at bat. This worked out so well he was elected captain of I. V. baseball the next year. The Kingswood News had to share his sports column with the West Hartford News but consoled themselves by figuring they had, therefore, a real pro on their staff. Sid had come alive musically during the fall by taking up the drums and joining Tony Dominick, Ted Dufficld, and Steve Jones in Steve’s basement. Sid was lucky to have parents with such resilient cars as his practise sessions really rocked the rafters. In his senior year, Sid’s sport column helped spark up the up-and-coming Kingswood News. He joined Sam Jones in the jazz connoisseur department, and in this capacity wrote an article on Hirdland for the Wyvern. Being adept at percussion by this time, he ground out the rhythm for the “Beat Taft” rally the night before the game. Thus inspired, Sid went out on the field the next afternoon prepared to die for old Kingswood, and the hemorrhage he got in his leg as a result kept him out of athletics from that first game of the season till January. His drumming survived, however, and more laurels landed on him for his background music in the oriental style for the Kings wood-Oxford Dramatic Club production of the play Iuidy Precious Stream. His rhythm was also heard in various dance bands around town. Every now and then in the years to come, we confidently expect to pick up Metronome magazine, or some sports periodical, and there will Ik another of his famous letters to the editors, bringing back fond memories of his cffcrvcrscent Sportswisc days. 28
