To us such names as Tiedemann and Kemmis are relics of the unknown past, but there are those of us who have not forgotten the teas that Father Robertson used to give us in his room, or the long, involved ghost stories he used to tell in the dormitory after lights. It was he who was chaplain in the days when we had the old chapel, and it was he who had much to do with securing funds for the one which we now use. He died as he lived!in line of dutyfand we of the Class of '35 wish to commemorate here his loving services towards us. The School has been exceptionally fortunate during the past year in that it has been able to command the services of two chaplains-Father Mayo, who is now in his third year as chaplain of South Kent School, and Father Gorham, late of the Liberian Mission of the Holy Cross. Father Mayo has a long record of service behind himg he was coffounder of St. Andrew's School in the mountains of Ten' nessee, and he is one of the leading members of his Order. Father Gorham is fresh from coping with the negroes of Liberia, and we of the graduating class will not soon forget the discussions that went on every Friday night during the past year in his Sacred Studies class. To both we extend our thanks for what they have done for us. page SCUC71 1935 SOUTH KENT YEAR BOOK 1935 RICHARD M. CUYLER, A.B.

It will require harder work and more initiative of them than they have been accustomed to. But in the end it will instill in them a selffreliance and directness of purpose which will prove invaluable to them when they come in contact with the world. This editorial greeted the eyes of the class of 1935 the first day they arrived here. This history is not going to attempt to review the past Eve years with an eye as to what was said above. It prefers to give an informal sketch of our lives here. But before we begin, it seems fitting to say that our class appreciates deeply all that South Kent has done for us. Whether we realized it at the time or not, we now see the truth that lies in that editorial. ik Pk Ik Woodrow! The conductor's voice echoed down the South Kent car, and slowly the train came to a standstill. We all piled off dragging suitcases, packages, and dufflebags with us, all of which we were very glad to entrust to the care of Martin and his wagon. For the first time we climbed the hill to school, each think' ing of the next five years with many and varied emotions. Our original class was a motley crew! We no longer have a Pud Thomas four esteemed secondfform presif dentj nor a Barnacle Mooreg Bill Hayward and Micky Downs have dropped off the s roster too. Our lives were the average ones led by any bunch of brats with football being the chief topic of the day. Then came Half lowe'en with the hunt for something original to parade around in before the faculty and their wives. That Hallowe'en stands out very vividly because two nights before the big event shots were heard down at the pump house. Mr. Goodwin spread the whole school into a state of nervous excitement by spreading the story around that a lunatic had escaped from Wingdale. He actually bull' dozed a majority of the boys into pulling their Shades down at night to keep this man from shooting at the windows. The tension in the dormitory was terrific, and not until we heard Dicx page twentyfsix X. 1935 SOUTH KENT YEAR Book 1935 that it was a joke were we able to sleep in peace. The next notable occasional was the annual dorm feed with the customary hot dogs. Under the influence of pop, some of us were actually cajoled into singing. No his' tory of a class at South Kent would be com' plete without mentioning Thanksgiving. That is the day when a boy can invite up as many relatives as will come for midfday din' ner. It happened once in the dark ages that one boy had a table full of grandmothers, aunts, uncles, and so on. A full two weeks beforehand the Old Man has us call the clans together. Then the wild morning assemblies when he checks over the guest lists. George is not sure whether there will be five or just twog jim says his father is coming and perhaps two sisters and an aunt. So, tablefseating is no easy task. Well, the day finally gets here, and after a chapel service we Cand the Old Manj wait expectantly. Oh, the horror of seeing your car, in which you expect to find three people, arrive with four! You rush to the study, apologize, POP'EYE relatives is slightly dimmed by such ordeals But it is worse yet when your family fails to appear on time. It sounds as though Thanks' giving contains nothing but mishaps. This is not true. The waiting and dishfwashing is well taken care of by the boys whose families do not come. The day goes off as smoothly as clockfwork, and as many as ninety full and very impressed people drive off that after' noon. Vacation was drawing near. Soon we were oiling our jobs and places. The smell of oil pervaded the school, a smell which we soon learned to associate with going home. The winter term went along quickly. Apparently the cold weather ruined our YACK voices. More than once we were criticized it and it is all over. The joy of seeing one's page twentyfseven .X 1935 SOUTH KENT YEAR Boox 1935 for the way we sang in chapel. Those of us who could played league hockey. The rest of us would pull on our skates and, in varying degrees of excellence, manage to get from one end of the lake to the other. Some of us were sadly lacking senses of balance, all of us dreaded the fish holes on the north end of the lake for a while, but even the worst skater could dodge them. There is little more to say of this term. We had the usual snow, and sometimes when we woke up in the morning it would be inside the dormitory. We also learned to dress in extrafquick time because of the temperature. ' After a spring vacation the new term al' ways seems hard. The ground is still thawing out and the roads to and from school are veritable mud holes. Anyhow we cheered up as soon as baseball began, and by the middle of the term we realized that it was the best one of all. Speaking of base' ball: one of the big features of the kids' season was the time when Pop McCoun hit a home run and forgot to touch third base. Fortunately Pop arose to the situation and . managed to get back to third before the ball. May First was upon us and we witnessed with a great deal of interest the ceremony that goes with the picking of the new prefects and the induction of each fifth form. We received a couple of shocks due to final exams, but nevertheless Prize Day arrived. Pop car' ried off the honors for us that day when he received the cup for the best all around junior Athlete. Next day, feeling like typical men of the world, we set out for a good long vacation. Before we go on to tell about the next four years, it seems fitting that we mention some of the familiar characters about the school. T Certainly Tom Boyd, the Martins, Mike, and AL l:dU?'-slfhiilsu, Xu' -R -........ A ,. JANES page twentyfeight 1935 SOUTH KENT YEAR Book 1935 Duncan stand first in our minds. Tom seems to be everywhere at onceg working inside and out, and above all handling those everfpresent salesmen. There is not one of us who has not said goodfmorning to Mrs. Martin at least once a day when we pass her on one of her many trips between the Old and New Build' ings. She, in turn, has had a cheery smile for all of us. Martin, though quiet, always has a hello and some comment about the weather. Along with him we find Vic. And then comes Mike. With brush and bottle in hand he scampers all over school. If he is not whistling, he is grinning. We soon found that Dunc's face meant and still does mean f . both food and kitchen. And last of all come Benny and Hermann, inseparable companions. 9 Q MURCH 1: as ak When school opened the following fall there were a good many new boys in our class, although a number of the former members did not return. The old ones lived in the fifth form hallwaysg the ' ' new ones in the dorm. These two factions had numerous raids on one another. Some' times we got away with them, but other times we did not. When elections for class president were held, our form chose Larry Newhall. That fall our form average was quite a bit higher. Chamberlain and Turner were on the honor roll and after our record of the year before, it was a relief to know that we were helping along the school averf age for a change. Talk of the new chapel at last materialized. Ground, just beyond the New Building, was broken on November the twentyfsixth. The Nativity Play which had been omitted the year before was given the Wm night before vacation. Before such perform' page twentyfnine 1935 SOUTH KENT YEAR BOOK 1935 ances the schoolroom was the scene of great activity. Benches blocked the front of the room to form the stage, and down in the old chapel three or four people wrestled with the organ trying to get it upstairs. In the evening the schoolroom would be filled to overflow' ing. The result was always worth the work, and everyone was left full of just that much more Christmas spirit. The winter was very unseasonable. We did not have much ice, and soccer leagues were organized to keep us busy. There was a good deal of digging going on, for the chapel foundations were being laid. When that was T Hnished, work was discontinued because of lack of funds. g Shortly after our return from spring vacaf tion we held a class meeting and nominated Newhall, Gildersleeve, Pullman I, and Thomas as candidates for fourth form council members. The fateful day arrived, and Newhall and Gildersleeve won the elections. That spring two of our mem' bers, McCoun and Gildersleeve, were on the baseball team. Prize Day arrived in no time at all, and at last we could say that we were honest to goodness upper formers. Ik if if ARTY Six new boys joined us when school ref opened. We were sorry to see that Gilder' sleeve did not return. His place on the council was not filled. During the summer a new wing had been added to Father Robert' sonls house, and Mr. and Mrs. Cameron, who had been married in june, were living there. Barnacle Moore, Pud Thomas, and Pop Mc' Coun got their letters in football. On the eve of the HooverfRoOsevelt elections the school was the scene of a very bitter cam' paign. Besides the Republicans and the Democrats, there was a large group of Social' DUTCH page thirty 1935 SOUTH KENT YEAR BOOK 1935 r ists. This latter group took quite a beating from the conservative element, the Republif can Party. They claimed that the Wood' ward's announcement of a Socialist tea influf enced a number of rightful Republicans to take a radical outlook. Naturally, the Socialists would have nothing to do with such a theory, and they refused to commit themselves. However, the biggest surprise of all came from the Hoogendunkers. Placards bearing the pictures of jacob Hoogendunk were borne around school. During the elections members of the various parties practically threw dust' pans at one another. The Democrats were disgraced by inviting their mascot in to par' take in the celebrations. The noise proved to be a bit too much for his delicate senses, and he was very promptly ejected. Soon snow appeared, and winter had set in. Ice was on the lake when we got back, and hockey was once more taken up by practically everyone. McCoun and Merrell made the first team, the rest of us stuck to the good old leagues. Arty Turner and his cohorts won the series. That term talkies came to South Kent and were hailed a great success. Before the opening performf ance some were inclined to be skeptical, but Smoky we were all completely won over by the end of the evening. Many of us still remember our fourth form banquet. After a large and satisfying meal, we retired to the Old Man's to smoke pipes. The rooin became dense with smoke and soon some of us had to bid a hasty goodfnight. One of our members still tells the story of the boy who was sitting next to him on the couch, literally blowing wreaths of smoke around the room. Suddenly his complexion turned from red to white, and then from white to green. Very calmly he ARCH pulled out his handkerchief and, covering his page thirtyfonc 1935 SOUTH KENT YEAR BOOK 1935 mouth, walked out sedately. We always have admired his ability for pulling himself through embarrassing circumstances with such ease. He was not the only one, though. A good many found themselves suggesting that they step out into the cool, clear air. In spring term we started work on the chapel. Father Sill came down from Kent to conduct the service at the laying of the cornerstone. Some of the hardier ones in our form were allowed to help with the actual work of constructing the chapel. The fact that we had a share in building it makes it mean twice as much to us. Those of us who worked there were favored with the acquaint' ance of Mike Choppenblok . His use of the Kings English proved to be most enlighten' ing. From our nominees for the council, Pull' man I and Barnum were elected. We had rep' FRITZ resentatives in each one of the spring sports. Allen Merrell and Pop McCoun received baseball lettersg Arty Turner got his in crew. Tommy Townsend and Freddy Milne were on the tennis team. Two weeks before graduation Miss Dulon, our housemother, died. Her death was a shock to us all, and the school has felt her loss terribly. We feel privileged to have known her. On Prize Day, the grad- uating class received their diplomas in the new chapel. Ik ik ik Two new members joined us in the fall, although several Old Ones did not return. Starr Barnum's position as council member was filled by McCoun, Of course all of us inf spected the chapel as soon as we arrived. Q Doc Williams had given us a new organ, and ' one of our form, Whittemore, played it. Our football season was goody Baker, Cowan, McCoun, Townsend, Turner, Thomas, and Manager Whittemore received their letters. At the annual football banquet, Tom was elected captain. For the first time, the Nativ- ity Play was given before the altar in the new chapel. The new setting made all the differ' ence in the world. It was not only more Q N appropriate, but it also gave us plenty of room A to spread the thing out in. Sam page thirtyftwo 1935 SOUTH KENT YEAR BOOK 1935 We returned to school after Christmas vacation to one of the coldest winters in years. We had wonderful ice, and Merrell, McCoun, Turner, and Waller made the first hockey team. At the end of the season, Allen Merrell was made next year's captain. Then the blizzard of 1934 hit us, and how we shovelled! It took us one day to open up the road to the station. Some of the drifts were at least ten feet deep. For weeks the snow stayed with us, and many were introduced to the art of skiing. Fortunately there were no calamities, but how we got away unhurt is a mystery. Some of the three' point landings, as well as the bellyfflops, witnessed by pe' destrians seemed unbelievable. At the end of the term, plays were put on. Four members of our class presented one with the Old Man as coach. We are glad that we had a share in Rossiu the inauguration of dramatics at South Kent. It looks as though they are here for our entertainment for many years to come. This spring was a significant one for us because on May First we took over the reins of the school. It hardly seemed possible that it was time for us to step to the helm. The big night arrived. and Newhall, Whittemore, and Merrell were appointed prefects. At that very time we received the sad news of Pop Taylor's death. l Earlier in the term we were glad to welcome Mr. and Mrs. Cuyler back from their honey' moon. It was during this term that Stu Cowan set up his amateur radio station in the print shop. The clickfclick of his telegraph key would summon a large gang to his side. The code proved very annoying for some of the more curious ones, but once he installed his microphone we rested at ease. Then the day dawned when the old familiar landmark of the Ice House on the other side of the lake 1 was taken away. It was with regret that we saw it go, but the landscape is far better I without it. Merrell and McCoun received baseball letters again, and Pop was elected captain. Cowan and Turner were on the l crewg Arty was made captain of that. ' ' Townsend, Milne, and Waller played on the Tom tennis team. The term was over before we page thirtyfthree 1935 SOUTH KENT YEAR BOOK 1935 knew it. It had been a busy one and a happy one. The day after Prize Day, we set out full of bright hopes for the year to come. PF ik ik Many of us were back at school a couple of days before it opened. We took advantage of the chance to grab good desks and chairs, and between looking after our own needs and those of the school, we found plenty to do. With the exception of Ward Carrington and Pud Thomas, and the additions of Lisso Mims and Bob Raley, who joined us in the winter term, the form was unchanged. Two new masters had joined us. Mr. Wagner was taking Mr. Patterson's place, and Mr. Knopf was in place of Mr. West. Father Mayo and Father Gorham took turns coming down from Kent, so we had a chaplain here all Warn the week. The Old Man had moved his study across the hall to Mr. Cuyler's quarters who was now living in the Straight House. Miss Bull's oilice was lodged in the adjoining room. Sixth Form Sacred Studies were started under Father Gorham, and we have enjoyed our Friday evenings with him. Mrs. Eschmann, mother of last year's Senior Prefect, was our new housemother. She has added a great deal to our life here. Football started the day after school opened. There were lots of sixth j - formers on the squad, and we had a good time together on the field. We will long remember the Gunnery Game, 14f14. The spirit shown by the players and by the student body was one of which we can be justly proud. Town' send, Cowan. Newhall, McCoun, Turner, johnson, Milne, Baker, Murchison, Leonard, and Manager Whittemore were awarded let' ters. ln the period after football a soccer team and touchffootball leagues were organf ized. The former played several games, and a combination of the latter journeyed to Kent. Many are the tales of their speed and agility. By now, we were drinking tea and attending sixth form night regularly. The tea was par' ticularly appreciated when the days got colder, Und some of us became regular tea hounds. i Sixth form nights brought the pipe rage, and - ff Ted Eschmann Cclass of '34 and an occasional Sw page thirtyffour 1955 SOUTH KENT YEAR Booicgg 1935 visitorj kept in close touch with the Wilke Pipe Company. Before vacation we witnessed two plays, The Monkey's Paw and Four Of A Kind . Our form was well represented in the casts of both. Rumor has it that the cast of Four Of A Kind went through a hurried rehearsal shortly before the performf ance and were dismayed to find that they had practically forgotten their lines. In spite of all that, the show was a great success. Al Merrell's Chinese, if not authentic, was at least extremely realistic. That fall the parents of Karl Burr Cclass of '34Q presented a very beautiful pitcher to the school to be known as the Headmaster's Cup, and to be given to the boy outstanding in integrity, school spirit, and leadership in the graduf ating class. Once more the Nativity Play brought us to the end of another fall term. There was a noticeable change in the school's appearance when we got back. During vacation Martin and Victor had cut down the Pine Tree. For years it had been the highest thing around school until the chapel spire was built. Perhaps it felt that it deserved a rest, awellf earned one at that. This term was the occasion of two rather important week ends. First of all we had the alumni reunion. Over forty of them returned, and the school had its hands more than full. The Sixth Form was asked to join the gathering on Saturday night, and a good time was had by all. The other weekfend was rather unique for South Kent, too. It was when the feminine influf ence hit the school for sure. Five sixth formers invited girls up. Unfortunately the weather man let them down a bit. The slush was terrific. Nevertheless the rest of us saluted those five for the way they overcame all such obstacles. Six of our form got their letters at the annual hockey banquet, They were Merrell, McCoun, Turner, Townsend, and Managers Baker and Leonard. The last week or so of the term brought a German Measle scare. The infirmary was soon full of the i bugs. However, everyone was discharged in Jorma time to go home. CHUCK page thirtyffive 1935 gg SOUTH KENT YEAR BOOK 1935 And now it is the middle of our last term at South Kent, an almost unbelievable fact. May First saw us relinquishing our oihcial duties and turning to the more menial tasks of dish washing and grass cutting. We had had a good year and were sorry to see it over. Perhaps a peek at the sixth form ina lei' sure moment would mean as much as anything. First of all, if we look up at the New Build' ing we see the strangest things sticking out of Gillispie's and johnson's window. Whatever they are, they are large. We blink and rub our eyes, but it takes us a good while to wake up to the fact that they are nothing more than white socks and sport shoes on Guppy's feet. Beneath this window we are apt to see a group sitting on the benches. Usually we 1 would find Pop 'n Al, and Rossy, plus Tommy, Liss George, and perhaps Snipe with his Spanish book. In one of the windows above we find Dave's cheery grin looking down on those below. In the next room we hear the clicking of a typewriter which means that Jack is doing his history. From a far corner a voice is heard. Sure enough, there is Wes taking a sun bath. Smoky or Stu are driving up with the mail, and Arty tears down to get his spring under' wear . Arcie comes sauntering by with a blicky. Dutch is cutting the grass, all the time cursing the lawn mower for not having its own power of locomotion. Strains of music are heard from the chapel which tell us that Whits is pushing the keys on the organ. Suddenly a window in the Main Build' ing opens, and Dick's voice floats through the air. He wants Milne, and Fred tears out of the New Building with YEAR Booic data in hand. A scuflling in the Coffee Room means that Lisso and Janes are at it again over the chess board with Bob refereeing. The past four and a half years have blended in together, and we find ourselves remember' ing and living many happy days. Cameras are seen everywhere, each one frantically trying to record our lives here at school. Our last term together has been a perfect one, and it has enriched our memories of South Kent a hundred fold.

THOMPSON page forty 1935 SOUTH KENT YEAR Book 1935 l THE BRAIN TRUST HE various political elements in our Form began to bicker at a very early age. One evening in our Fifth Form year they gathered together to cure the def pression and other ills. This, the Hrst meeting, was typical of the subsequent ones. Garbled accounts of these gatherings got around School with the result that the disordered organization was dubbed the Brain Trust. Questions ranging from the KingHsh to King George held the spotlight during the early part of the evenings, while the closing minutes were passed downing fromage a la Boyd or aromatic Gorgonzola. Gastronomic appreciation of foreign culture was further promoted at a special meeting or picnic by Beefsteak Tartar mit ei und butter brot. The various members, although they can show no specihc conclusions for the many evenings of discussion, all feel that the organization was highly successful. Started because of interest in presentfday problems, it pulled these problems apart and gave the members a chance to see them. It discovered the easiest answer is not always the best and that the problems of society are closely interfrelated. The members take this opportunity to thank Mr. Woodwzird for his interest and guidance. page fortyfone 1935 SOUTH KENT YEAR BOOK 1935 l THE YEAR BOOK LAWRENCE j. NEWHALL ..... . . Editor JOHN P.

Four plays were presented in that year, one a courtroom farce by some of the present graduatf ing class entitled, Four Rogues and a Rascal. In that epic Newhall played the role of a judge, while Murchison was a negro chickenfthiefg Turner was cast in the part of a prosperous but unscrupulous manufacturer, and Chamberlain played the part ofa wily criminal lawyer. This year as we go to press, several plays have been presented, two at Christmas, one at the close of the winter term and two early in the spring term. The plays this year were not put on by separate forms, as was the practice last year, but talent was drawn indiscriminately from the whole school. The actors are .ndebted considerably to Messrs. Bartlett, Woodward, Cameron, and Cumming for their services as directors. Two plays were presented at Christmas: The Monkey's Paw and Four of a Kind. In connection with the former play, we shall never forget Whittef more's soulfshaking sobs in the part of Mrs, White , or Newhall's acting as Mr. page fortyffour 1935 SouTH KENT YEAR Booic 1935 White , nor will we soon forget their illffated son, Milne. The other drama was dominated by the Chinese characterization put on by the inimitable Merrell, the comic element being supplied by johnson as L'Crawls. The sup' porting characters of this latter play were Gillispie as the cherubic Father jerolomenn, Cowan as jake, and Baker Cwho seemed particularly well castj as the unkempt Smike. At the close of the winter term crime came to South Kent in The Duke and the Dices, v l in which HOLISCOH, already I'nOtECl for his ' '... HOPHEAD GANGSTERN characterization of the Sergeant in The Monkey's Paw, rose to new heights as jake, the speakeasy proprietor. With some difficulty we recognized a classmate when Waller came on the stage made up as a hophead gangster. Milne took in this play the part of a soft spoken bouncer, while Martin and Lehmann gallantly provided the love interest. Subsidiary gangster fcomplete with derbyj-Echeverria. Early in the spring term two more plays were presented, one in French. The style of acting displayed in these plays was perhaps the best shown by student Thespians. Formerly, there had been good and poor actors, the eight participants in these plays were almost uniformly good. We would never have supposed that Maxwell would have made such a good comedian as he proved to be in Les Assureursf' or that Hoey could have so successfully impersonated a mem' ber of the weaker sex. We admired, too, Lane's suave villainy in Brains, and the Scotch and Cockney roles played by Macpherson and VanSand. All in all, these plays revealed to us unsuspected depths in our classmates and members of lower forms. Some of the plays have been so good that several will probably be revived later in the year. In concluding, we hope that the rise of the Drama, in which this class has played so important a part, will continue after we have left South Kent. PF PF PF Bk This year one of the alumni presented a plaque to the School, on which is to be inscribed the name of the boy who does the best work in dramatics, either in acting or in stage managing. This has added a lot to the lasting interest in drama at South Kem. page fortyffive 1935 SOUTH KENT YEAR BOOK 1935 ,tmwwww e 'm' To THE LADIES BACK in 1923 when the School began, Miss Dulon undertook the duties of housemother, besides doing willingly and cheerfully everything else that came along. When the Faculty began to marry and settle down, their wives did exactly the same thing, and they are still doing it today, making every boy feel happier and more at home here at School. On every festive occasion the dining' room has shown the results of their labors, and the hard work connected with the Nativity Play is largely in their hands. This year they introduced weekfends for the Sixth Form, providing chaperonage and lodgings for the girls. There is not a boy of the class, moreover, who does not remember with pleasure his first tea' party and the many others that followed. These teas played a very important part in our Hrst years at School and we are duly grateful, and we wish to thank the women of the Faculty for their kind interest and help. Since we have been here, we have seen many new arrivals among the Faculty wives, and also several of the younger generation. We now have four faculty households and seven children at South Kent. Each newcomer has entered fully into the life of this small community. Along with the work of the wives of the Faculty goes the work of the women page fortyfsix 1935 SOUTH KENT YEAR BOOK 1935 of the School staff. Mrs. Eschmann's job as Housemother is probably the most inf volved of any at South Kent. As head of the vvomen's staff, the Housemother has always had to carry on a great variety of duties-supervising the School's diet, ordering and checking supplies, keeping the boys' socks in repair, keeping an eye on the running of the laundry, seeing to the health of the boysAthe administrative details are endless. Together with Mrs. Eschmann we must also mention Mrs. Martin, who aids the Housemother conf , . Mas. ESCHMANN siderably in all of these myriad details. The social side of the Housemother's job is equally important. She arranges all teas for athletic events, and plans the various form and athletic banquets. She has also seen fit to extend to the Fifth Form the privilege of a weekly tea-the best in School, say connoisseurs. Also, the Housemother gives a birthday party for each student when his day comes around, and this, too, entails much work. Having taken on this allfinclusive post in succession to Miss Dulon, Mrs. Eschmann has worthily carried on during the past year the functions of her predecessor. Comparatively unnoticed but very important in the life of the School is the Infirmary. To the maimed and the halt, to those suffering from the many little ills and injuries arising from a strenuous school life, it has always been a haven of refuge. For the past four years we have had Mrs. Lyon in charge of the Infirmary. Her tireless care for the inmates has be' come proverbial. A returning alumnus once asked if Mrs. Lyon still treated each patient as if he had pneumonia. Any pres' ent member ofthe School can answer that question. During the current year Mrs. Lyon has given an average of sixteen treat' ments a day, or thirtyftwo hundred odd during the school year, the ailments range from broken bones through indigestion to the common cold. We of the Class of 1935 proffer our sincerest thanks for what she Mas. LvoN has done for us. page fortyfscvcn 1955 SOUTH KENT YEAR BOOK 1935 CHESS NEW activity this year has been the chess team. Last fall Mr. Knopf, who played chess at Yale, organized a team here. About twelve fellows proved interested, and the best players were picked by a series of tournaments. Later in the term the team went up to Kent to play their team which is coached by Father Gorham. The match was played in the Library before a large audience, which may have been slightly disconcerting to the players. All our men played too fast and with' out much thought so that we lost that match 5f1. A return game was arranged for the next term and was played in the dining room at South Kent. The familiar surroundings proved beneficial as we drew them 36 playing much better chess all around than in the previous match. Towards the end of the term a match with Gunnery was arranged to he played at Gunnery. This time we only took five men over and easily defeated their team Yayzflyg for our first victory of the year. As the YEAR BOOK goes to press a return match with Gunnery has been scheduled. Also scheduled is a match, to be played at New Haven, in which the Hrst three men of our team and the first three men of the Kent team are to play the last six men of the Yale team. Thanks are due to Mr. Knopf for the trouble he has taken in coaching us in the finer points of the game and in arranging matches for us. page fortyfeight 1935 SOUTH KENT YEAR Boolc 1935 T fx . gsm fx , ' l VL R T1-nz STRAIGHT Housri FROM THE TANK page fortyfnine 1935 SOUTH KENT Yri AR BOOK 1035 r'-H--'ll I iii' ia. 2' 1 2 .B A M.. 5 Tm' X701 rNc:rR UVNVRATION P11gv 1'1fry ,x Ng H mx' M 1935 SOUTH KENT YEAR BOOK 1935 Q?

ECHEVITRRIA, MURci1lsoN, CRITTENDEN, ENNIS, BAKER, MILNE, BARTINE FOOTBALL AST fall we returned to School with seven letter men and lots of green material to be turned into a football team during the season. The record of one tie, one defeat, and four victories speaks well for the efforts of the coaches and the spirit of the squad. The team got olf to a good start, defeating Kent Seconds 21fO. All the scoring was done by McCoun during the first two periods. The rest of the game was un' eventful except that the South Kent line held their opponents on the threefyard line for four or Eve downs late in the third period. The second game, played at Wooster, proved to be a much better test. We were losing 6fO at the end of the half, having been outplayed and outfscrapped most of the period. However, we came back in the second half with vigor and scored two touchdowns, winning the game 1216. Cowan scored the first on a line plunge while Turner scored the other on a long pass fro'n Johnson. Our only defeat of the season was to Lenox in a closely fought game, by a score of 12f6. Lenox had a strong, heavy, powerful team. They relied greatly on a page fiftyfninc 1935 SOUTH KENT YEAR Book 1935 power play straight off end by which they gained most of their ground. South Kent lost chances of scoring two or three times by fumbles. Behind 12-O at the beginning of the last period, South Kent began to advance up the field, McCoun and MacPherson doing most of the running. Then on a long pass from McCoun to Turner, the ball was taken to the threefyard line where McCoun plunged over for our only score. We proved ourselves capable of good football in running up a score of 3810 against Salisbury. We did not score at all during the first half, however, and were perhaps even outfplayed. On the other hand, Salisbury did not have the ball for more than two minutes during the second half. Cowan and Turner both did some beautiful open held running. McCoun and Cowan scored two touchdowns each while Turner and Johnson each scored one. In a rather poorly played game South Kent edged out Canterbury 2048. We started out well by advancing the ball up to the twelvefyard line, and after some well executed plays, McCoun plunged over for the first touchdown. A little later, on receiving a punt, Turner ran seventy yards for another touchdown. It was one of the most beautiful openfeld runs seen all season. After that, except for the first part of the third period, South Kent became noticeably weaker and had a hard time keeping the lead. Canterbury gained most of their ground on wellfdirected passes. The last game, played against an undefeated Gunnery team, was one of the best exhibitions ever put on by a South Kent team. The first half was quite un' eventful as the ball seefsawed back and forth. The line showed some excellent defensive work while Newhall and Cowan did a good job in the backiield knocking down the numerous Gunnery passes. At the beginning of the second half, Mc- Coun, after one or two first downs, ran off tackle for sixty yards to make the first touchdown. Turner placefkicked for the extra point. Then Gunnery scored, after completing two long passes and an end run. The quarter ended 7f7. Again, at the beginning of the fourth period, South Kent scored after advancing the ball up to Gunnery's twentyfyard mark where Turner went over on a pass from johnson. Then in the same way as before Gunnery took the ball to our eighteen' yard marker where Francis, on a beautiful statuefoffliberty play, scored the second touchdown for Gunnery. The game ended 1444 with South Kent on the way to another touchdown. The spirit with which this game was played was remarkable. The line played as hard as possible throughout the entire game, both on the defense and offense. The backfield worked with splendid precision and cofoperation, and they all emphasized the fact that the team was the unit, not the individual. At the annual banquet Malcolm Severance was elected to succeed Captain Townsend. There were several speeches by guests, captains. and managers, com' commending and thanking the coaches for their splendid work. page sixty 1935 SOUTH KENT YEAR BOOK 1935 I Standing'CoEs, KURrz, MILLER, JONES, Los, HUMPHREYS, WALLER II SiII1NgfMILNE, WALLER I, PULLMAN, TURNER, MURCI-nsON, NELLIS, LEONARD SOCCER ITH the football season ending on November 19th and the Christmas vacaf tion not commencing until December 21st, there was quite a problem of how to fill the gap. Hockey, we hoped, would start soon, but meanwhile Mr. Cummings suggested a soccer team, and with his help things soon got under way. The fellows split between soccer and touch football, but we managed to organize a team with sullicient substitutes, and practices went quite smoothly. After a few days of this preparation, a home and home agreement was entered into with Salisbury. On November 27th we journeyed North to test our ability at Salisbury. Besides enjoying ourselves tremendously, we defeated our plucky opponents by a score of 34, Turner, Milne, and Newhall starring. A few days later the Salisbury team came down here and we played on the baseball field. The visitors won this encounter by the score of 3f2, the South Kent team appearing rather too sure of the result and not starting to play ball until too late. The last game was played here against Kent. We can make little comment on the game except that Kent had a far superior team and deserved their victory, 8'1. We hope that in future years there will be opportunity to develop the game here at South Kent. Mr. Cumming did a fine job, and we thank him for it. page sixtyfonc 1935 SOUTH KENT YEAR BOOK 1935 Slrmdmg MANAK1IfR LITONARD, ECIIHVITRRIA, MOORF, TOWNSEND, MANACTITR BAKER, MR. CUYLFR Siirmg MACl'llI'RRl3N, CRlTTI'NIllfN, TURNITR, CTAPTAIN MERRELL, MCCDUN, Si1vri1ANcr, HousToN HOCKEY HE record for this winter's hockey season was five victories, one tie, and three defeats. The only disappointment for the year was that we were unahle to play Kent hecause of unsatisfactory weather conditions. Whether we won or lost it would have heen a wonderful game, and we were sorry to have missed the good hockey it would have provided, The first line was made up of Turner and Crittenden on the wings with McCoun at center. Macpherson was in the goal with Captain Merrell and Severance at the defense posts. The second line included Townsend, Moore, and Echeverria. The season opened on january 10th when Lenox journeyed down here. The score was Zfl in favor of the visitors. Turner scored our only goal and Captain Merrell was our outstanding player. On the whole, the team showed a lack of smoothness and cofoperation. The team rested two weeks hefore playing their next game. This was against Canterhury and was played away. The score was Sfl in our Rivor, which gives a pretty good idea of the type of play witnessed. page sixtyftwo 1935 SOUTH KENT YEAR Boox 1935 Two days later, on January 28th, the sextet met Roxbury at home. This was another fairly sloppy contest, with South Kent on the short end of a 2f1 score, The game was very erratic, although the second line played well. On Wednesday the 30th we defeated Gunnery 5f3 in a most exciting game on our rink. Going into the last period we were behind 3-1, but due to the fine spirit on the part of the entire team and particularly the good playing of Captain Merrell, McCoun, and Turner, we came out on top. The following Saturday South Kent subdued Berkshire 4-1 in another home game. Although the ice during this game was a bit sloppy, it was interesting hockey to watch. Crittenden and Severance stood out very well in this encounter. On February 6th our sextet met the only really superior team of the season. We journeyed to Lakeville to play Hotchkiss and lost 2f1 in an overtime period game. The work of Macpherson at goal during this match was laudable. Lenox was defeated on February 13th, in our return match with them played up there. The score was 5f1 in one of the best games of the year. The ice was good and the team seemed to click in such a way that we ran up a good score, with Turner and McCoun paving the way. This was a satisfying result and revenged our former defeat. The following game was played in the New Haven Arena against Roxbury. This was the first time that a South Kent hockey team had ever played on indoor ice, the score was a 3f3 tie, the teams being evenly matched. Severance and Mer' rell played their defense positions with real ability. The last game was at Washington and ended in a victory for us over Gunnery by the close score of 3f2. This match was played the day after our experience on the indoor rink at New Haven, and we considered it well done to defeat Gunnery again when they expected a decisive victory. Captain Merrell, McCoun, Turner, and Townsend all played well, perhaps because it was their last game for South Kent in hockey. A week or so after the end of the season the annual Hockey Banquet was held. Letters were awarded and next year's captain elected. A great deal of thanks as well as credit should be extended to Coach Cuyler for this year's happy season. We know the record would have been poor without his able coaching. page sixtyfthvee 1935 SOUTH KENT YEAR BOOK 1935 , l Standing MR. BAR1-Lu'r'r, PULLMAN. STURGHS, PNNDLE, EASTBURN, MANAc:im GILLISPIE Sitting Tiiomsulm. MERRELL. NlfWHALL, CAPTAIN MCCOUN, MACPHl'RSON, MOORE, Los BASEBALL N April 2nd the South Kent Ball Club held its first official practice. Five letter men reported together with a promising hunch of kids. The rookies showed up well and Coach Bartlett told reporters that he prophesied a successful season. Manager Gillespie did well in his new joh and helped the team hy his hard work and suhtle wit. A prefseason practice game was arranged with Kent High to test the team and give some needed experience and confidence. This game showed general weakness, hut especially in pitching and hatting. These defects were remedied hy putting Merrell hehind the plate and McCoun on the mound, with Moore as relief pitcher. There followed several days of concentrated hatting practice. On April 24th Salishury came down to take a game l6f8. The team was sloppy, and little improvement was shown for the effort put forth. Spirit, however, was not lacking, and hetter playing was to he expected in the future. A snappy Romford team gave us a lesson in play on the 27th, when they stole the show 12f5. Our fielding showed up very hadly, hut pitching and hitting were improved. page sixtyffour 1935 SOUTH KENT YEAR BOOK 1935 By concentration on batting, we got the best of Kent High on May lst. However, the fielding was very weak. Captain McCoun showed his strength to the admiring audience by hitting a triple. On Father's Weekfeiid, May 4th, the team came through in fine shape, beat' ing Gunnery 7f6 for the first time in five years. This was in every respect a good ball game. Gunnery made their last two runs in the seventh inning and just missed tying the score. McCoun came through again for two more threefbaggers. The team showed improvement all around. The Kent 2nd Team defeated us 14'13 on the home diamond in a very sloppy game. Kent got fifteen hits in five innings, and we got fourteen errors. However, South Kent garnered 14 hits on the offensive, but faulty base running cut down the score. The next week, the team lost a hard, close game to Kent, 3fO. Merrell and Los pulled a double play, and Newhall caught a hard liner, while McCoun allowed only five hits. South Kent had fifteen men left on the bases. Three major victories followed, Canterbury was downed at South Kent when the home team hit ten times safely with Merrell and Moore hitting triples, McCoun blowing himself to a pair of doubles, while Newhall singled twice out of two trips to the plate. Canterbury was not able to bat against speed and McCoun had little trouble in holding them to three hits and retiring 11. On May 22nd, Pawling, fresh from a victory over Hotchkiss, played the team on home grounds where was witnessed the closest and most exciting game ever played at South Kent. With the score tied 4f4 for four innings, two extra inf nings had to be played before the deadlock was broken when Newhall crossed the plate on an error for the winning run. The black and scarlet team made nine hits off the three opposing hurlers while McCoun held the opponents to six blows. The team gave him good support while Eastburn and Macpherson ran away with the fielding honors, the latter turning in one of the most consistent games any inflelder has ever played at South Kent. South Kent travelled up to Lenox on the 25th of May and scored its first win over Lenox in four years with McCoun hurling South Kent's first no hit-no run game and fanning 12 men while he also led the batting with Macpherson. The score was OfO for five innings and then combining errors with timely hits, five runs were made in two innings. Three more games are left on the schedule, Ridgefield, Romford, and Gunf nery. If the team continues its playing of late it will come through the season as South Kent's strongest nine. The work of Mr. Bartlett in coaching the players has been inspiring and instructive, to say the least. page sixtyffive 1935 SOUTH KENT YEAR BOOK 1935 Wuirrsmoan, WALLE11, TOWNSEND, CAPTAIN Mu.Nia, BARTINE, MARTIN, MR. WAGNER TENNIS ENNIS at South Kent has always meant a good deal of hard work. As usual, this season was prefaced by brushing, rolling, and marking. Much of the unnecessary top soil has been blown off the courts during the past years, however, and there is now a good, hard surface of clay. Mr. Wagner has filled the vacancy left by Mr. Patterson as coach of tennis, this season. His enthusiasm, not only in helping the squad with their difficulties, but also in the care of the courts, has proved to be a valuable inspiration. The improvement shown by members of the team is sufficient witness of his efforts, and the squad wishes to thank him for the interest he has taken in the sport. Because there is more material out for tennis, as this publication goes to press, than ever before, Mr. Wagner has seen ht to add a number six man to the team. This position will be filled by either Whittemore or Leonard, each of whom played on the second team last year, and who, together with Edmunds and Baldwin, will compose the second team this year. Milne, honorary captain, who has taken over the duties of manager, has been improving steadily. He is holding No. three place at this writing, but can be page sixtyfsix 1935 SOUTH KENT YEAR Book 1935 counted on for better tennis toward the end of the season. He has line form and only needs practice on the execution of his strokes. Townsend, last year's No. one man, is unquestionably the best player on the squad and has retained his last year's position. Formerly, his serve was his strong point, but, under the direction of Messrs. Patterson and Wagner, he has so improved his form that it is equally as good. For the past two years Townsend, upholding the high standard set by his brother, has been the leading light in tennis in all its phases at South Kent and we hope he continues at college. Bartine, who is the No. two player, has improved his form from an erratic slashing at the ball to a good, steady quality of tennis. He has a powerful serve and a forehand that speeds low over the net. With a little improvement on his backhand, we can expect some fine tennis from him. Baldwin, at the time of publication, has the edge over the other possibilities for the No. four position. He has shown great improvement and is one of the few examples of first year men making the first team. We may expect even more from Baldwin in the future. The positions of Waller and Martin, as well as of Leonard and Whittemore, have shifted around considerably. Waller has missed much practice but is a well' rounded player. Martin, who played No. four for the first two matches, has also missed too much practice to be advanced, but he is a very steady player. Leonard and Whittemore were new possibilities for this year. The former has a strong service but the latter exhibits better form. Townsend and Bartine compose the first doubles team. Because of their fast serves they are a powerful combination but their net play is a little weak. However, any faults they may have might be overlooked as they have not been playing to' gether very long. The second doubles team is as yet undecided. The team lost to Pawling with a 4f3 score. Townsend beat the No. one man, Bartine, the No. two. Milne lost to three, and Martin won in the No. four posif tion. Waller at No. five lost. Whittemore and Leonard dropped the second doubles and Townsend and Bartine lost a well played third set, which decided the match by the score of 9f11. This same team lost to the Kent seconds, but with a slightly different combination and only playing three men, it won over Romford, 3f1. Canterbury was victorious in its match with us, but it was a close match: 4f2. A greatly altered South Kent team took over the Gunnery team, 5f2. Townsend won at No. one, Bartine at No. two, Milne at No. three, Baldwin at No. four, and Leonard and Whittemore at five and six positions respectively, lost. There is, at the time the year book goes to press, one more match to be played with Gunnery. page sixtyfseven I., COW'.AN, SFVFRANCIT, ENNIS, CAPTAIN TURNER DAN'Il'S 1935 SOUTH KENT YEAR BOOK g 1935 CREW CREW practice began this spring on April 2nd. A larger squad than ever before reported for the machines, but there was a large element of inexperif enced candidates. However, no boat touched water until a solid week had been spent on the machines, and the quickness with which the crew came to its polished form is probably due to the intensive preparation. The opening race was with the Princeton junior Varsity 150s. The date was set for the Saturday of Father's Weekfend -May 4. As Princeton brought but one boat, the race was a triangular one with our Second boat as the third competitor. The South Kent First boat crossed the line in the very good time of 2:57, and the Seconds finished at 3:05, a deck length ahead of Princeton, which was timed at 3:06. This victory was naturally an encouraging one, particularly for the Second crew, and we looked forward to an excellent season for both boats. Th: boatings in this race and all subsequent ones were as follows: First Boat: Bow, Turner CCapt.jg No. 2, Ennis: No. 3, Severance: Stroke, Cowan, Coxswain, Davies. The Second Boat: Bow, Nellisg No. 2, Echeverriag No. 3, Baker: Stroke, Crittendeng Coxswain, Merrill. The next week was spent in very hard preparation for the Choate race, and time trials showed excellent results. Choate arrived on Saturday at noon and had a trial spin before the race. The Choate Seconds won by a deck length in 2:57, in rather rough water, while our Seconds finished in 2:58. The varsity race was the thrilling race everyone expected with our First boat going into the lead at the finish with an even, powerful stroke to win by a deck length in 2.53. Choate's time was 2.54. The following week was spent in getting ready for Pomfret. Both crews rowed at different times so that the boats would not forget it was only practice and begin an unofiicial race. Pomfret arrived on Friday, May 17, and stayed overnight. Their First stroke was unable to row because of a strained back, so the Second stroke rowed in both Pomfret boats. The first race was at 1.30 and the second at three o'clock so that the stroke might have time to recuperate before rowing again. The lirst boats were off on time and South Kent led all the way until just off the boathouse, fifteen yards from the finish. Here someone washed out and the lead of half a length was lost as Pomfret went into the front. There was no time to catch up and Pomfret won by the customary deck length in 2:49. We finished a second later. The Second Boat defeated the Pomfret Seconds by a deck length. The time was 2.56. This was an excellent race and showed conclusively that the Second boat had approached closer to the standard set by the varsity than in other years. The loss of the Pomfret race has spoiled hopes for an undefeated season, but we can still look forward to ending with a good record. The races remaining are two with Salisbury, a race with St. George's at Newport on May 25th, and the Interscholastic Regatta at Worcester on June lst. This is the best crew schedule we have ever had and for it we have Mr. Cameron to thank. Coach Cameron joins with the squad in thanking Mr. Bartlett for the new motor and oars received this year. They helped out and are deeply appreciated. page sixtyfnine 1935 SOUTH KENT YEAR Boox 1935 ATHLETIC RECORD, 1934f35 FOOTBALL BASEBALL South Kent vs. South Kent vs. 21 Kent 2nds O 8 Salisbury 16 12 Wooster 6 5 Romford 12 38 Salisbury 0 7 Gunnery 6 6 Lenox 12 13 Kent Znds 14 20 Canterbury 18 1 Wooster 6 14 Gunnery 14 0 Kent 3 - -- 13 Canterbury 4 ' 1 1 1 50 5 Pawling 4 5 Lenox O 57 65 HOCKEY SOCCER South Kent vs. South Kent vs. 1 Lenox 2 3 Salisbury 1 1 Roxbury 2 2 Salisbury 3 8 Canterbury 1 1 Kent 6 5 Gunnery 3 - - 4 Berkshire 1 6 10 1 Hotchkiss 2 1 5 Lenox 1 I TENNIS 3 Roxbury 5 South Kent vs. 3 Gunnery 2 5 Pawling 4 W -F O Kent 2nds 7 31 17 3 Romford 1 2 Canterbury 4 5 Gunnery 2 13 18 CREW South Kent Firsts defeat Princeton J.
