BULL 1890 - 1955 After twenty-eight years of unselfrsh and devoted service to South Kent Miss Bull died on August 10, 1955. Everyone with whom she lived and worked knew her as a kind and warm individual. For this, and for her loyalty to and love of the school and all it represents, she will be long remembered. May she rest in peace. 2 A -- ' ' iff 55753m,f-f! -1l'1 ,L1,,1 M V ww Nz, f . ggi. yn, :A-A L fi THE CLASS OF1956 1 P RESt E NTS THE wSOUTI1WffFENTm'Y'fARBOOK M,,.Mm...,f -MW., SOUTH KENT SCHOOL TO THE BARTLETTS May their retirement be as fruitful and beneficial ro them as their thirty-two years at South Kent have been for others. 4 YEARBOOK 1956 The news of the retirement of Mr. and Mrs. Bart- lett came too late last June for the 1955 Yearbook to do full justice to the event in its pages which were even then prepared for the printers. At the time of his retirement Mr. Bartlett, with thirty-two years of headmastership behind him, was the senior headmaster in point of service of all the headmasters of the group of schools with which South Kent is regularly associated. Mr. and Mrs. Bartlett have returned to Eastham on Cape Cod where they plan to keep themselves happily occupied working, reading, and watching their grandchildren arrive and grow up. They also plan to travel and see some of the Alumni from time to time. They will be missed here at South Kent not only The Bartletts and two grand-children because of their devotion to the school, its students, faculty, alumni, and friends, but also because, as in- dividuals, they were so truly a part of the place that its personality seemed, in a measure, to be theirs. The familiar face and voice of the Old Man will be remembered often as individuals perhaps uncon- sciously recall certain events and actions with which he was connected . . . conducting the evening chapel service . . . calling out of the Study window . . . speaking in assembly or after supper Chumorously, informatively or forcefully as the occasion demandedj . . . calling vigorously as he hit flies to the outfielders . . . counselling individuals in the Study . . . sitting on the porch on a Spring evening . . . handing out diplomas in St. Michaels Chapel. In his speech at the school on Prize Day Mr. Bartlett spoke of victories in this process of learning and educating that few individuals ever realize occur. We feel that Mr. Bartlett has perhaps experienced , mmm Mr. Bartlett - 1956 and been responsible for more of these victories than either we or he may know. Possibly the best summation of Mr. Bartlett's achievement at South Kent is reflected in the citation awarded him by the Independent Secondary Schools Group of the New England Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools which was read at the Boston meeting of the Association by Chairman Frank Lloyd on December 9, 1955: Over twenty-live years ago a young man from Lafayette College picked out a lovely farm site in a little Connecticut valley for a school. Sam Bartlett, known affectionately as the Old Man , and a friend, named their school South Kent after the little village in which the farm was located, It was the grim de- termination of these two young men that nothing was going to stand in the way of or interfere with their desire to provide an education centered in God's truth. The school has grown and prospered under your leadership without compromising in any degree the high purpose for which it was founded. Your fellow workers in New England are honored to be able to pay you this tribute today. -'we fa if Mrs. Bartlett SOUTH KENT SCHOOL 1 . w '-. h .Ry f .A fa, 2 ff! ' -f NT --I, THE FACULTY L.

Thrown together in a strange situation many did not adjust themselves scholastically or otherwise, and many were just plain fog-bound . But by the middle of the first term we were able to cope with any of the every- day problems that confronted us. The entire form , played on the Midget football squad, helping it to the undefeated season it sustained. Hallowe'en was a day of apprehension and fore-- boding. For under penalty of the Lake all the new boys had to learn two French ditties and be able to recite them before a howling frenzied mob of old boys yelling oom beef stew and plank, chisel, chiseln. In spite of all these threats though, the wettest boy was one sprayed with an Indian pump. In all it was a gay time and offered still more surprises for our form members. .LE- George,' -Tommy - ' , At the end of the fall term in the annual Nativity Play Bob Hastings, Sherbie deGarmo, and Peter Lee were shepherds. , V After a welcome Christmas vacation we all re- turned to a South Kent of a different hue - biting cold weather, snow-covered ground, and a frozen lake. Our first day we had a 'ibaptism of fire in the snow shoveling two rinks clear on the lake. However, na- ture was against us and snow was the daily weather prediction. We wondered whether there would ever be time for skating. As most of us had never skated before we ended up on the Tripods fighting for the puck and skating on our ankles and numerous' other places. I Groundhog Day was overcast and dreary , as usual, we read on the second page. Spring, we hoped, was around the corner. When it finally arrived we were slightly disap- pointed. Mud, rain, and spring fever set in with punctuality. But once baseball, tennis, and crew were begun things began to pick up. Bob Hastings, Kib Hyatt, Pete Tulloch, and Bruce johnsoniwere on the Midget baseball team, while Murray Mathews, Raoul Semler, and Pete Lee tried their hands at crew. f -For several weeks sports were oY1r only diversion. Then Mothers' and Fathers, Weekends arrived and the school was a hive of activity for two days on both weekends. Before we knew it, Prize Day had arrived and we were pushed up a notch to Third Formers. Amid our own made screeches and those of our friends we headed home to -return as Old Boys the next year. I THE THIRD FORM Our Third Form year was marked by two charac- teristics. One was the large increase of our form from nine to thirty-four. The other point was the mock Presidential election we held at school. Among the many delegates up for election was the famous Yan-, kee Clipperu, Nick Perrone. The vote was a unan- imous election of Nick and in keeping with his election promise he provided free sodas for the school. Also as part of the platform for improvements he raised the price of haircuts to 75 cents. In football we were ,represented on all three of the lower teams, helping the Kidgets to another un- defeated season. YEARBOOK 1956 'ffa 1 ' , 'fit fi. 1 ,fi . f l L , . J 'S rerf . ,.B0b,.

'This served to enhance the skating ' G 2t't A somewhat, but there was still the lack of balance on the part of many of our form and we remained down on the Leagues and Tripods. In June there were two- pleasant respites at. Mothers' and Fathers' Weekends. The entire school enjoyed the play The School for Husbandsi' by Moliere. In June we elected Denny Vant and Peter Dyke to the Council and Denny Vant was also elected Pres- ident of the form for the coming year. THE FOURTH FORM Our Fourth Form year began on September 22. We arrived at the school to Hnd numerous changes. The Old Building was scraped down completely and repainted. A,new .wing was being added to the In- firmary for Miss Woodruff, the new'nurse, who was taking over the duties of Mrs. Lyon. Mr. Goode re- turned from a leave of absence with the Navy to take fl , Titus 1- H t... r T ,g 1 jglfav :wx Beaky custodianship of the Dorm. Perhaps the biggest change, though, was in the administrative branch. Mr. Bartlett, for thirty-one years Headmaster, was taking a leave of absence. Mr. Wister was named Acting Headmaster for the coming year. The fall term progressed as usual with pleasant breaks at Hallowe'en and Thanksgiving. In athletics the high spot was the defeat of the Gunnery by the boys from Pigtail. Pete Richmond made the Winning catch for South Kent. The next page of our Fourth Form history began in early january. The winter term can be chiefly remembered for its sixteen out of twenty-four after- noons spent wielding a shovel. Because of this heavy snowfall both land rinks were skatable for a period and several games were played on them. Even a few evenings were spent on the lower rink. It was in this way we skated, shoveled, and waited for the re- lease of the spring term. SOUTH KENT SCHOOL A H A . OO., Nw l ll If 1 ll ssl 3, :tl Es..i :ritual , A j iO t Mouse It finally dawned, dismal and wet. Members of our form said unmentionable things on the baseball field and at the lake. But eventually the weather warmed up and our spirits with it. Soon it became too warm and the annual bout with spring fever began. On Fathers' Weekend, the Fathers' Association announced that a drive had been started to raise 35300 from 300 people in three years. The success of this drive is seen in the new Library. The rest of the term whizzed by and Prize Day was on us before we realized exams were over. Tom Allan won his letters in crew. Lee, P. D. won the prize for leading the form, and Bob Hastings won the cup for the Best All-Round Junior Athlete and the Junior Public Speaking Prize. According to tradition our form waited at the final lunch. Almost too soon Prize Day, the spring Riche term, and our Fourth Form year were just a tale to tell the new boys who were to arrive the next year. The next day summer vacation began, and amid the screeches of sprung new boys, and the sedate fare- well of the older ones, we left. THE FIFTH FORM Our Fifth Form year, the first year of responsi- bility, found the Old Manu back at the helm as Headmaster. However, the faculty suffered the loss of Mr. Gillette who left to go into the antique busi- ness, and Mr. Whittemore who was on a leave of absence to finish his Ph.D. New appointments included those of Mr. Arthur Smith in the Math department, and Mr. Leonard Adkins as a special tutor. On the Council from our form were Peter Dyke and Tom Allan. Denny Vant was again elected Pres- ident of the form. Fish Dave YEARBOOK 1956 Moose-Jaw On the football team from our form were Pete Richmond, Tom Allan, john Richardson, Denny Vant, Rocco Rush, Murray Mathews, Frank Welch, Dick Rex, and Bob Hastings. Although the team lost five of its seven games, including the Gunnery game, it never stopped playing good ball. Changes on the staff included the addition of Mrs. Baruth as secretary to help Miss Bull, and Paul Austin on the Kitchen squd. The winter term found Pete Tulloch and Pete Richmond on the hockey team. Pete Tulloch was elected the next year's captain. It was during this term that the form first assumed Sixth Form respon- sibility in the form of Fifth Form Weekends. After the quick spring vacation we ended our last term as underformers. Bit by bit we were as- suming the leadership of the school. On the Pigtail Arthur Moody was appointed Editor-in-chief while Bob Hastings, Tom Allan, Peter Dyke, and George Worthington filled in as associates. On june 2nd, the choosing of new Prefects, com- monly called by Doc Henry The Samoan Bride Hunt , assumed its annual importance. Tom Allan was chosen Senior Prefect while Bob Hastings and George Worthington were named as the other two. Peter Dyke was elected sub-Prefect and Peter Tulloch was elected form president. On Prize Day John Richardson won the prize for leader of the form, Bob Hastings was awarded the Connecticut Harvard Club Prize, and Arthur Moody was presented with the Dramatic Plaque. Also on Prize Day, during the ceremony in St. Michael's Chapel, it was announced that Mr. Bartlett was re- tiring that summer. Mr. Wister was named to assume the Headmastership for the coming years. Birdie Rich THE SIXTH FORM By Tuesday before school opened our entire form had returned to South Kent from as varied places as California and Arizona, and nearer ones such as Hartford and Millbrook. The lawns were mowed and the buildings swept after their three months' rest, and all was in readiness for the return of the rest of the school on the following Thursday. There had been few improvements made on the building as most of the attention was paid to the completion of the new Library. Our form, numbering eighteen, had a healthy rep- resentation on the first team. The lettermen were co- captains Tom Allan and John Richardson, Pete Rich- mond, Bob Hastings, Pete Tulloch, George Worthing- ton, Dick Rex, and Kib Hyatt. The season ended with no wins for the team- although they played hard and spirited ball. SOUTH KENT SCHOOL Richie', There were five of our form represented in the fall play, Command Decision, the first production at South 'Kent directed by Mr. Stephens. They were Bob Hastings, John Richardson, Jack Coleman, George Turner, and Dave Seaberg. In the Nativity Play Arthur Moody was Mary, Tom Allan -was the Angel, Bob Hastings was Zac- charias, Peter Dyke was Joseph, and Pete Richmond, George Worthington, and Kip Hyatt were the Magi. Halloween, providing a sparse amount of costumes and skits, was marked by the singular event of taking several new boys to the Chandler House to be spoken to by the Great High Mogul himself. The winter term, whitened by the usual huge amount of snowfall, saw only three members of our form on the hockey team. They were Captain Pete Tulloch, Pete Richmond, and Kib Hyatt. Tommy Allan's League team, the Ums , won first place. On the Ham 'n Eggers from our form were Tom Allan Bob Hastings, Bruce Banning, George Worthington, George Turner, and Arthur Moody. ' Then the great historical event occurred. At the end of the term, just before College Boards, the school held its first dance. It was with Low-Heywood and was limited to the upper two forms only. -After the girls had supper they went up to the Schoolhouse where the dance was held. The Schoolroom was done in an Oriental motif, and the two punch pourers looked like something out of Genji. There were even Jap- anese signs on the wall that read Drive slowly , Sharp turn , and This way out . Then came the home stretch. After five years of reading, 'riting, and 'rithmetic the last pages are turned over. They are brief and mostly in note form: N '2 I ..LOuP,, Nyorge Mothers' and Fathers' Weekends, The Forsyte Saga, term papers, exams, and graduation. With a wish of success to next year's Sixth Form we now end our history at SKS. But for years to come '56 will con- tinue to make history in the pages of alumni notes and we hope we can make it as successful as possible in the South Kent tradition.

For the negative South Kent team the speakers were Bob Hastings and Jack Coleman. In the Winter Term four members of the debating team lost to Canterbury on the question Resolved: That Capital Punishment Should Be Abolished . Representing the negative side for South Kent were Bob Hastings, Jack Coleman, Alan Pease, and David Seaberg. In the Spring Term members of the club attended the annual Housatonic Valley Spring Forum. The topics under discussion were the farm problem, for- eign aid, and desegregation. A On April 20, an affirmative and a negative team from South Kent debated Trinity-Pawling on the question Resolved: That Kruschev and Bulganin Should Be Invited to This Country . The debate was a tie with the negative team, Bob Hastings, David Seaberg, and Tom Shapiro, winning, and the allirma- tive team, Jack Coleman, Legare Cuyler, and Russell Patitz, losing. Advisor Hays CHESS With the return of Mr. Whittemore as faculty director this year the club had a full schedule. How- ever, due to sickness, the rounds with Milbrook and Viewpoint could not be completed. The final record for the season was two wins and three losses. The team was defeated by Canterbury twice and Wooster once. In the return match with Wooster, however, South Kent won and then beat Millbrook in the one match played with them. The five board members were, Captain Clifton Hyatt at board one, jack Agate at board two, jim Allen at board three, Russell Patitz at board four, and Dean Baldwin at board five. SHOP Late in the spring of 1955 Mr. Goode undertook to move the Shop from the old position by the Post Office into the Trunk Barn. This was effected for the most part during the summer. Mr. Brown helped to put a new roof on it and to insulate it. The only part left to be done in the fall was the inside. Chip Monck helped immensely by building several ben- ches, stools, and tool racks. Mr. Wittenberg was ap- pointed director of the Shop, and Leo Hays, from Kent, came down to help Advisor Wittenberg the boys in their projects. Some of the more inter- esting ones this year were a speaker enclosure, a pair of skiis, the repairing of a shell, a modern table, a toboggan, a workbench, two shelves, a coffee table, and a book stand. The more active members were Bruce Banning, Allen Ermentrout, Dick Rex, Steve Gravereaux, Dan Gravereaux, Francis Coleman, and Peter Kemper. A ART , With no faculty director and no regular meetings the Art Club suffered greatly from a lack of interest this year. However, a few boys, throughout the year, managed to benelit from the facilities offered. Some clay modeling was done, some charcoal and pencil sketches were produced, and a few boys went outside and did some oil or Water color paintings.

The Playhouse D RAMATI C S Under the new direction of Mr. Stephens and the assistance of President Bob Hastings and Vice Presi- dent John Richardson, the Playhouse presented its first production of the year, Command Decision . The drama is centered around an American Army Air Corps base in England during the war that is Carrying on bombing missions over Germany. Featured in the cast were Roger Neidlinger, Bob Hastings, and john Richardson. Ably portraying the more important minor roles were Jack Coleman, Lenny Gibbons, Sandy Severance, and Legare Cuyler. In the spring the Mothers and Fathers saw the comedy Room Servicen. The action is based around the occupants of a hotel room who, in trying to pro- duce a play, are also trying to keep the room without paying for it. The situation is further complicated by the arrival of the general manager who wants to evict them. The leads were played by Brian Wood- ward as the occupant, Bob Hastings as the General Manager, Roger as the Hotel Manager, and john Farr as the leg man.

The most important and also the most eagerly awaited event of this school year has been the completion of the new Library. The important buildings at South Kent are the best buildings. First came the Harmar Brown Infirmary, then the St. Michael's Chapel, and now the Library. There is only one word which really describes the Library and that is - wonderful. No one who so much as walked through the Old Library can help but be thankful for the new Library building. Above is a picture taken in the fall term just after the outside of the building was completed. Below is a picture of the main reading room looking east into the librarian's office and towards the magazine rack. The door leads to the coat room and lobby. The fact that the Library has the most comfortable a far cry from the tiny lightless closet on 'Middle B chairs in school is something of an inducement to Old'.

THE FOOTBALL SEASON The football season held perhaps an unjust amount of disappointment, discouragement, and poor weather for South Kent, but still the team never gave up. That is quite a feat for a team that suffered seven losses. An experienced team from Millbrook won the open- ing game 21-6. Millbrook scored touchdowns in the first, third, and fourth quarters. The Cardinal and Blacks' lone tally was the result of a short pass over center to Pete Richmond. The second game was a close one but Wooster won 14-12. Towards the beginning of the final period with the score 14-0 Pete Tulloch passed to Pete Richmond I Co-captains, Allan . . . . . . and Richardson Y a t '. .' .,.. t A ' 3 Coaches, Brown . . . . . . and Adkins for a gain of fifty yards. Gill Peabody then crashed across the goal line for a touchdown. With four minutes to go South Kent regained possession of the ball on its own 45-yard line. A passing and running attack marched the ball to the opponents' four yard line from which Gill Pea- body plunged across for South Kent's second touchdown. On the following Saturday a strong Westminister team overpowered the Cardinal and Black 31-7. South Kent scored its only touchdown in the last period. Dave Wheelock plunged across after a pass from Pete Tulloch to Nick Frost had set up the play. YEARBOOK 1956 Pete Richmond tackles Westminster. A week later Salisbury defeated Pigtail 20-12 in a clean, hard-fought game. Having allowed Salisbury thir- teen the first half, the Cardinal and Black began to iight back in the third quarter. Gill Peabody drove through the line for South Kentis first touchdown. Salisbury scored once more in the next period. Towards the end Nick Frost snatched a pass from Bill Farish for South Kent's final tally. Against Canterbury the first half was marked by sloppy tackling which allowed three touchdowns to score. In the second half the Cardinal and Black put up stronger opposition, but it was a case of too little too late . South Kent scored at the end of the fourth period when Pete Tuloch threw a pass to Gill Peabody for sixty yards. Kibby Hyatt recovered a fumble for the extra point. 'Final score: Canterbury 28, South Kent 7. Berkshire won the next contest 39-7. The team did not show much of the spark that it had in previous games. In the final chapter Pete Richmond threw a pass good for forty yards to Nick Frost who scored the only touchdown. The Gunnery game is the game that will be remem- bered from the 1955 season. It was a well-played, hard- fought, spirited game in spite of the snow that continually fell throughout the game. Nick Frost runs away from Gunnery. Bill Farish against Salisbury. ns sl: ' Gill Peabody gains against Westminster. South Kent started the ball rolling by scoring a touch- down in the opening period on a sixty-five yard run by Sandy Severance. Gunnery tied it up 6-6 in the second quarter and then broke into the lead at the beginning 'of the closing quarter 13-6. South Kent refused to give rn. They scored on a five yard run by Gill Peabody, the team's best 'running back of the day and of the season. Then with six minutes to go Gunnery broke away for sixty yards for a touchdown.

A record of three wins and nine losses does not sig- nify outstanding success, but the season was better than the record suggests. Three of those nine losses were missed by a single point, while three others allowed only a two point margin. There were only three decisive defeats all season. The sextet defeated Westminister twice. The second game, which took place during a raging snow storm, was the only game of the season to be played on the Brunet Rink. The contest against Choate was the best game of the season. temperature Choate was just barely the South Kent sextet 3-2 on their own artihcial rink. On Washington's birthday, South Kent gained its third victory by downing Canterbury 5-4. john Farr scored four of the live goals.

THE BASEBALL SEASON The most remarkable news about this year's ball club was the improvement it made. With only five returning lettermen, and the rest of the team consisting of seven boys recruited from the lower team and two New Boys, the team was green. The first five games of the season were lost by rather decisive margins, but the team did not give up and they did learn to play baseball. The next two games were lost by only one point, while the two following games were won. Any club that can take the lickings at the beginning of the season that this team did and then come through with a strong finish, defeating some of the very teams that it had lost to so badly before, merits no- thing but the highest praise. The Fathers' Weekend 4-3 victory over Canterbury was the most exciting game of the season. john Farr led off the fourth inning with a double and scored the first run of the game on 'Mouse' Tulloch's single to left field. Canterbury picked up three runs leaving South Kent be- hind 3-1 at the close.of the seventh inning. john Farr began the Cardinal and Black's rally in the eighth with a single to centerfield. Tulloch sacrificed to advance Farr to second. Pete Richmond hit to the shortstop, who threw to THE BASEBALL RESULTS third to put out the sliding Farr.

The Kidgets started off the season with a ragged offense which they quickly mended. The defense, sup- ported by the tackling of Steve Hoitt, Chad Lockwood, Trent Smith, and Pete Moon, made things exceptionally diflicult for their worthy opponents. The most spectacular play of their 54 season was Steve Merrill's eighty-yard off-tackle touchdown run in the Canter- bury game. Steve also scored four touch- downs in the Salisbury game, two in the Berkshire game, and one each against Canterbury and Gunnery. Other promi- nent figures in the scoring column were Jim Allen and Spencer Reynolds. Legare Cuyler and Pete Finch gave helping hands in the backfleld while Nick Leem- ing served coaches Waller and Smith as a general handyman.

The Midgets never allowed their spirit and enthusi- asm to lag. All the Midgets played well this year. jim Schwartz achieved a most impressive record of seven touchdowns while Dave Welsh perhaps worked the hardest as he crashed off-tackle for three touch- downs and five extra points. Stew Townsend and Steve Graveraux each threw a large number of good passes. jen' Geilich and Schwartz were the major receivers. l 6 i , .ia The Midget Game Captains: jim Schwartz, Alan Hewat, john Haines, David Welsh. SOUTH KENT SCHOOL' Ham 'N Eggers: Bruce Banning blocks puck shot by Hotchkiss player No. 36. Players are, from left to right: Bob Hast- ings, Banning, Chip Monck, Dan Gravereaux, Alan Mathews, No. 36 Hotchkiss, Reeve Cantus, and unidentified Hotchkiss player. Old Man Winter was not overly kind this year, but he was considerate enough to allow each League team to play twelve or thirteen games apiece. The race was close this year and the Old Men still posed their usual threat. They were bolstered with the addition of Father Chase and one clay they even had Mr. Whitte- more on the ice. The Ham 'N Eggers did not have a great deal to write home about, but they did well in their own right. It is dillicult for a disjointed team to play successfully other teams which have been practicing together every day. Bob Hastings, Tom Allan, Bruce Banning, Lenny Gibbons, and Chip Monck were the more familiar fig- ures on the team, While George Worthington, Pete Kemper, Henry Lavino, and Arthur Moody helped a great deal. The Midgets, who are Second and Third Formers selected from the Leagues in the same manner as are the Ham 'N Eggers, won three of their four games this year. Steve Graveraux and Bob Dickerson were the more prominent figures in the scoring column, while Tom Leever, Perry Butler, Nate Tracy, John Richards, and Steve MacWillie also contributed to this department.

Still there were spots of some very good baseball on the Kid diamond. jim Allen was the main hurler for the Kids. He was relieved by Bruce Banning and Jim Schwartz. Ruf Coes did an excellent job catching. The rest of the infield jobs were filled by Len Gibbons at first base, Steve Merrill at second, jim Schwartz at shortstop, and Bob Dickerson at third base. The Midgets' fine record of eight wins, three losses, and one tie gave them the valley championship. Pitching is the mainstay of any ball club and Tuck Ingersoll pro- vided the Midgets with some excellent hurling. Short- stop Keith Braden was described by THE PIGTAIL as the sparkplug of the Midgets' infield . Some of the others who made themselves known either at bat or in the field were Deen Baldwin, Ted Madara, 'Marcus' Haines, Jeff Geilich, and Tony Adams. The lowers crews were outstanding in their greenness this year. Six members of the Fourth and Fifth boats were New Boys while others included converted baseball men and an ex cox. The Fourth boat iinished the season with Bob Rodenberg, Cox, Chip Monck, Strokeg Marshall Pea- body, Threeg Gill Peabody, Twog and Chad Lockwood, Bow. The Fifth boat was composed of George Gilliam, Coxg Rogere DeVore, Strokeg Jim Barr, Threeg Peter Finch, Two, and Stan Marsland, Bow.
