SOUTH KENT SCHOOL PUBLHISPEAKING Coach Stephens The season began in the Fall Term with an in- formal discussion between South Kent and Regional Valley High School on the topic Resolved: That the Federal Government Should Take a Firm Stand on Integration. 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.
