SOUTH KENT SCHOOL THE'WORKSHOP The workshop, which is located on the top floor of the trunk barn, we started under the direction of Mr. Goode in 1954. Later, under the direction of Mr. Wittenberg, new lights, a stove and more tools, the latter of which were given by a number of fathers, were added, with the aid of Leo Hays, an unusually talented carpenter from Kent. This year Mr. Smith is filling in as the faculty sponsor of the workshop in the ab- sence of Mr. Wittenberg. With his help and instruction there has been much activity in the shop. Douglas Millet, a professional cabinet maker, has also been offering instruc- tion in carpentry for many of the boys. This year has seen the completion of many such projects as speaker cabinets, vari- ous sorts of furniture and a holder for the Paschal Candle in the Chapel. Since the impetus created by Mr. Goode four years ago the general interest in the shop has seen a great increase and many more boys have come to see the amount of derived from such work. The Paschal Candle genuine enjoyment and practicality can be CHESS The chess team had a mediocre season this year splitting four of the five marches, the battle with Canter- bury was called off because of chicken pox. In our first match against Viewpoint School Agate, Patitz, and Baldwin won their matches to spearhead the attack, while Budding added to the impact by forcing his op- ponent to a stalemate. The resulting score was a SM- IM victory for the Cardinal and Black. The second match resulted in a loss to Wooster, 3-2, but the next contest was a victory for Pigtail g conquering a favored Kent team 3Vg-lk. Matches were won at boards one, three, and five by Agate, Baldwin, and Allen. In the final bout of the season South Kent was downed by a superior Millbrook team 4-1, Agate was the only survivor. The S.K.S. team was staffed by Agate at board one with Patitz and Baldwin at two, three and four, Burton at two, four and five and Allen at boards two and five. jackson and Posselt played one game each at the five spot. Coach Whittemore is expecting a fair season this com- ing year with all but Allen, Posselt and Patitz returning.

Although the team was able to move the ball consistently it was frequently thwarted from grinding out the final crucial yards which often would have yielded a winning score. The season opened with a home game against Mill- brook, a strong and destined-to-be undefeated team. South Kent, young and lacking experience, lost its opener by a 35-13 margin. The final period, however, showed much promise. John Farr passed over center to Sandy Sever- ance who sprinted sixty-five yards for the first touch- down. Captain Peabody bucked over for the conversion. Seconds later, taking advantage of a fumble South Kent drove to the seven yard line and Farr then skirted the end for the second score. The following Saturday the team met Wooster in what proved to be the season's most discouraging game. South Kent fought and outplayed the smaller Wtnoster team during the first period but after two sustained drives ..,, . fwilwfwf' tf.'11' 5 Q f F Sf' is . M . eetet , with Captain Peabody Coaches Brown . . . appeared to have given up. In the closing minutes of the game South Kent finally pieced together a thirty-yard drive capped by Will Farish who plunged into the end zone for the only score for South Kent. The final tally was 12-7. After a gruelling week of practice a revitalized South Kent team played one of its finest games of the season, dropping a close decision to Westminster 20-14. The game was marked by steady drives from both teams and the pressure was never off. Legare Cuyler made two spectacular kick-off run-backs, one to the Westminster thirty-three yard line. Early in the game Pat Smith passed forty-five yards to Farish who was driven out of bounds on the fifteen-yard line. From there Gill Peabody drove through an eight-man line for the score. Minutes later, after Westminster scored on one of its breakaways, South Kent drove seventy yards to the two-yard line. Farr skirted the end for the second score for South Kent. He then passed to Farish for the extra point. 1 N ,. 'nl' T ll. 1 f a to ,I fi t Max +V, .A an t -,- R - 1. nga - - 'l' ' i l av N i r cf, H, a X SH fu ' ' . Vx , . . Adkins . . . and Mankin
