Kingman's resignation as headmaster was received with regret by the trustees, faculty, and students alike. In the ten years of Mr. Kingman's leadership Pembroke-Country Day School has made great advances. Within this time, school spirit, student government, and an increased sense of personal and group responsibility have reached their present high stage of development. Hand in hand with the spiritual growth of the school has gone the expansion of the school's physical plant. Foremost has been the building of the Phillips Memorial Gymnasium and the Howard Flagg, Jr., Auditorium, completed in 1949. This building provides the students with one of the finest basketball floors in the city, as well as furnishing many other excellent athletic facilities. The build- ing program this past nine years has also included the addition of more classrooms in the middle school, remodeling of the junior school, and several upper-school rooms, as well as the building of a new headmaster's house. Other general improvements, including two Lay-Kold tennis courts, a new shop and garage, and a new driveway were added this past summer. All of these improvements have helped keep pace with the rapid growth of the student body, which has reached a peak with an enrollment of three hundred and twenty-one boys, as compared with only one hundred and ninety-six when Mr. Kingman came to us. Thus it is understandable that our outstanding headmaster will be sorely missed. The alumni and iudents will remember him for the leadership and guidance shown them. Parents will remem- . . . 7. . . , . . er t e candid sincerity with which he discussed a sons problems or conducted a school activity. Teachers will remember the outstanding manner in which he led school life and directed the schoolls affairs. Many and varied -will be the .pleasant memories he will leave behind, but everyone will remem- ber, above all else, his congeniality and warm sincerity. We all join in wishing Mr. Kingman good luck and continued success in his new field of endeavor, as assistant to the president of the Worcester, Mass., County Institution for Savings. J
