f' 'rt SOUTH KENT SCHOOL THE SIXTH FORM INFORMALLY AND CLASS HISTORY In the fall of 1952 eight small and bewildered little boys entered South Kent for their first year. This motley aggregation was the start of the class of 1957. Most of them were on the midget football team which had a 3-2 winning season that year and which ended the sea- son by defeating Rumsey Hall 33-0 in a snowstorm. Their joy was short lived however, for the next day the first team took its worst defeat from the Gunnery, 52-0. Mr. Small was in constant contact with us, kicking us around the football field for not doing calesthenics and occasionally emerging from his lair in the dorm apart- ment when coat-hangers were rubbed on his radio aerial. The winter term saw the return of eight of the most crestfallen young gentlemen ever to set foot on the cam- pus. A good bit of the first few days was spent in the usual way, getting the lake ready for skating. The tripod league was decidedly off balance that year as team No. 3 coasted to a 15 point victory. In the spring the Second Form went out en mane for baseball. Mr. Brown's midget team had much depth that year and had a successful season. Tony Price came within an inch of making the first team but threw his arm out trying to get the position of Tony Crossley, who was injured. Prize Day came at last and Alan Mathews received the prize for being the head of the Second Form for that year. On the whole, the Second Form had a success- ful year, leading the school repeatedly when the marks came out and furnishing the lower teams with some fine material. Tprldu The Pope On September 23, 1953 our form returned to find itself numbering twenty-six, fourteen confused new boys having been added to the pot. The new members, how- ever, soon became accustomed to life in the Dorm under the watchful eye of Mr. Goode, recently discharged from the Navy. Reeve Cantus, a new boy, was elected presi- dent of the class. Our third form year alsoibrought big changes in the administration. Mr. Wister was appointed Acting Headmaster while Mr. Bartlett was on a year's leave of absence which provided him with a well deserved rest after his thirty years of service to the school. Miss Wloodruff began her first year as the school nurse when Mrs. Lyon went into what she termed her semi retire- ment . The big sports news of the year was made by the football team when they defeated the Gunnery 13-7. It was the first Gunnery game victory in five years. The riot which ensued about the Gunnery campus will not be soon forgotten. Thanksgiving, soon arrived and the student body, unaided by the Sixth Form which was given the weekend off, consumed 140 pounds of turkey. A ll.,
