Mvhen a boy enters the Second Form, he is confronted by a problem of terrible proportions-three years of Latin with the stern overseer of Room Seven, Al Smith. At first, he is awed by the fore- boding messages on the walls and by the perplexing mysteries of an expired language, but once he acquires a vague knowledge of the fundamentals, and be- comes accustomed to the Hjusticel' of the Hwoodsll system, he begins to realize that Al is one of the softest-hearted, best- natured masters at the Academy, and by the time he reaches the Fourth Form, he can gaze with scorn upon the frightened countenances of bewildered Second Form- ers. In addition to over thirty years of teaching at the Academy, Al has coached many a successful football and baseball team, organized a conditioning course, and given courses in ltlnglish, Hygiene, and Astronomy. Chief among his non- academic interests is his lively four-year- old son, who is occasionally seen about the Academy in various stages of youthful activity. Page twelve Kenneth Hunter spent his early life in Des Moines, lowa, and later attended Grimiell College, from which he was graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree in 1913. In the next few years, he did post- graduate work in English in a variety of schools, among which were the 'l'niversity oil' Michigan, Harvard, Chicago, Minne- sota, and the University ol' London. Thereal'ter he taught in the Des Moines high schools, the lfniversity of Chicago High School, the lvniversity of Michigan and the l'niversity of Minnesota. ln 1922, he came to the Academy, where. besides teaching lflnglish, he has enjoyed a twenty-eight-year career as coach of the CW team. Recently he has taken over the tutoring of the golf team. ln what leisure he can find, Mr. Hunter enjoys reading, the movies, and his grandson, who proniis- es to be a chip off the old block if Mr Hunter has anything to say about it. Mr Hunter is also very fond of playing golf. ln his own words, I am still hoping to improve my game befoi'e it is too latell' M'e sincerely hope he does. 7
