RICHARD LOUIS FEINBERG Dick Dick joined the Class of ’59 in his third form year. Throughout his school life, he has es- tablished a very creditable record. In his sophomore and junior years, Dick was a faithful member of Werner’s Warriors and Mali’s Maulers. He retired to the position of manager of the Maulers in his senior year and helped lead the team to its many victories. In the winter seasons, Dick took part in the intra- mural program by playing basketball and, in his fifth and sixth form years, by keeping up with the rugged routine of “cross-city” running. In the spring, he could be found on the tennis courts subduing any valiant opponent who would dare challenge him. Dick was a conscientious and faithful student during his four years at Kingswood. He ob- tained an exceptionally high score on his mathe- matics college board, and it is in the engineer- ing field that he hopes to find his profession. In his senior year, Dick joined the Classbook Committee, the Foreign Policy Association, and the Dramatic Club. The Class of ’59 will al- ways remember him for his sense of humor and for his new cars and wishes him the very best of luck in college and in the field of engineering. 20

FREDERICK STUART FARQUHAR Fritz Fritz is the foremost politician of the Class of ’59. Every year since the second form, he has held various class offices ranging from president to treasurer, and he has ably repre- sented his class several times on the Student Council. Because of his interest in student government, Fritz received the Trinity Prize at the end of his junior year. As a fitting climax to his political career, he was elected Senior Prefect and treasurer of the Student Council. Unfortunately, Fritz contracted polio during the summer preceding his first form year and, for a time, was completely paralyzed. He never lost his cheerfulness and great determination, however and has since made a truly remarkable recovery. He returned to the sports scene first by managing J.V. football and then by becoming a stalwart fullback on the Warriors. This past year, he received his numerals for Varsity soccer. Fritz’s forte, however, is his golf game. He has been on the golf team since a freshman and has won his letter for developing an amazing tee shot that ends up behind the tee instead of in front of the green. Scholastically, Fritz has always done well, making the Honor Roll most of the time and winning the Korpcr Scholarship as a senior. This past year, he also dominated the News by becoming Editor-in-Chicf. Fritz’s many witty remarks and his all-around cheerfulness and helpfulness will never be for- gotten by the members of the Class of ’59. Good luck to a grand guy! 19

THOMAS BUCKLEY GALVIN Rock Tom came from East Hartford in the fall of 1954 to join the Class of ’59. He immediate- ly joined the glorious York Club and played football, basketball, and lacrosse. During his five years at Kingswood, Tom has moved steadily up the athletic ladder. He has been a regular member of the Varsity football team since his sophomore year and has played Varsity lacrosse for the past two seasons. Tom’s solid build and his firm stance on the gridiron have earned him the nickname of “Rock.” Anyone who has played opposite him on the line will vouch for the appropriateness of this title. Rock has been nominated for a class office since his fourth form year. He finally defeated his opponents and held the position of class treasurer as a senior. Elated by his political suc- cess, Tom drove out to Watkinson School and deposited there thirty-four feet worth of his rear tires. (He claims that this figure is absolutely correct since he went back to the scene and paced off the distance.) Tom’s friendliness and good humor have won him many friends. He will always be remem- bered for his ready smile and his relaxed at- titude towards life. 21
