In the Fall of 1954, Dick joined the class of ’57 as a fourth former, coining from Sedgwick Junior High. Upon his arrival at Kingswood, he picked up the nickname of ' Art , given him by a couple of his classmates. In his sophomore year, Dick chose soccer as a fall sport, and was a member of the JV team. That winter, he joined Mr. Goodwin's ski group, which to his surprise, turned out to be a winter track team. Scholastically, Dick had the troubles of a new boy, but soon became accustomed to the new system. Because of his mathematical ability, he found himself in Mr. McGuinn's A Algebra class, and has remained in advanced math divisions since then. During the junior year, Dick obtained his JV numer- als in soccer. He decided to give up skiing in favor of joining the ranks of the morning hoopsters for the winter season. One of Dick's outside interests is shortwave radio. He carries on a correspondence with many foreign countries, and receives a number of letters from behind the iron curtain. In his senior year, Dick played on both Varsity and JV soccer teams, and was a player on the Badgers” basketball team. He was a hard-working ad-getter and photographer for the classbook, and also was a member of Mr. Green's Foreign Policy Association. Scholastically, Dick hiked his average close to the Honor Roll level. Dick's baby-blue Chevrolet, his good study habits, and his helpfulness will be remembered by the class. Best wishes, Dick. 19

Dave joined the class of '57 in the Third Form year. In addition to playing football and baseball, he made the Honor Roll and since then has been a steady member. In his Fourth Form year, he joined the News Staff and the Press Board, and in the Fifth Form was elected to the Student Council and Dance Committee. The senior year found Dave working on the Classbook, having been chosen its editor. In addition he was elected a Prefect, Vice-President of his class, and awarded the Korpcr Scholarship. In his sophomore and junior years, Dave played on the J.V. soccer squads and in his senior year played for the Varsity. Many afternoons he could be seen gleefully doing laps around the new field and enjoying every blasted minute of it. To everyone's surprise, he led the team in scoring. He also was elected to the all-conference team. During the winter of his Fourth and Fifth Forms, he, along with many others, joined the non-skiing skiers group. In the spring, he joined the newly formed golf squad, earning his letter in his sophomore year. In his senior year, intra-mural hoop was his winter choice. He was captain of the Wolverines and his highly biased articles concerning his team could be read in the News. Dave's en- gaging grin and likeable ways should be an asset at Williams where he will be headed this fall. The class of '57 wishes him the best of luck. 18

Mike came to Kingswood in the Third Form from St. Joseph School in Hartford and established himself as one of the high-ranking students in his class. In his first year Mike played football, basket- ball, and tennis for Lancaster and made the Honor Roll for the year. And in his second year Mike switched from football to soccer and was a member of the J.V. soccer team. Despite Julius Caesar and Arrowsmitb he managed to maintain his position on the Honor Roll. In his junior year Mike won his numerals as manager of the undefeated J.V. soccer team and also reported these games for the Hartford Courant as a member of the Press Board. In addition, Mike became the varsity reporter midway through the season. In the winter he became one of the morning hoopsters who sweated out seemingly endless afternoon study halls, and in the spring he joined the popular afternoon athletic group which specialized in softball. He won his letter as manager of the Varsity soccer team in the Sixth Form. He again handled the reporting of the games for the Courant. Mike continued his Press Board work on a larger scale in the winter by reporting the Varsity Basketball team's encounters. His deadly set shot won him a starting berth on the Pistons in the Intra-mural Basketball League, and in the spring Mike became a member of the tennis team, using his two hand style of play. We all wish Mike success at Trinity and in what- ever field he enters. 20
