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

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

JONATHAN ALAN GOLD Johnny John came to Kingswood in the first form from Bloomfield. During his six years as a member of the Class of ’59, he has worked hard and benefited greatly from his op- portunities. He attacked his studies with vigor and established a very satisfactory scholastic record. Happy and relieved to depart from math at the end of his junior year, John was a little perturbed to find that it appears in physics, but he kept up his spirits and attacked it rather cautiously. Always a staunch supporter of the fine art of wrestling, Johnny has frequented the “Black Hole” in the winter since his entrance to Kings- wood. He was a member of the wrestling team from his freshman through his senior year and hopes to continue the sport during college. Many times John turned down extra food at lunch so that he could maintain his proper weight. In the fall, John could be found on English Field, contributing greatly to the high spirits of Werner’s Warriors, later changed to Mali’s Maulers. When spring rolled around, he joined the intramural tennis group and challenged anyone and everyone to a fast match. In his junior year, John joined the elite Wyvern Board and received credit for having one of his editorials published. Johnny wasn’t prejudiced, however, and so he joined the News Board also, and, in his last year, the Classbook Committee. The Class of ’59 will always remember John for his many humorous remarks (which he would utter at the strangest times) and for his hilarious imitations of certain people. 22
