As Second Formers, we were immediately introduced to one of the more sordid aspects of the school as we set up shop in the Dorm. We soon became used to the grind of the life of the Daily Boy , though we never could avoid the Hour Board. One of this year's new boys would have an awfully hard time recognizing the Sixth Form as it appeared in those days. We bore none of the partonizing self-conhdence which is the mark of the Prep School Senior. We felt about as big as we looked - mighty small. Of course, there was no mistaking our spirit. That was amply exhibited when Pee Wee Richards, tipping the scales at eighty pounds in full football uniform, knocked out an opposing player twice his size in a Midget football contest. Pee Wee and the rest of the form helped guide the midgets to a 2-2 season which featured outstanding victories over Rumsey Hall and Kent. One of our hrst Form efforts was to elect Archie Frost as our President, As the year progressed, Archie proved to have many talents in many directions, not merely restricting himself to his administrative duties or to the faculty daughters. A born ladies' man, Archie was adjudged the best looking thing on the campus when he donned a wig and some other necessities for a girl's role in the Playhouse production. He also made good use of his dulcet voice, not only in the Glee Club, but also as a Crew ,,.. Magate ,--fx. Dr. Shapipsn Coxswain and a participating member of various Dorm Hell- raising Sessions. The Fall term of 1955-54 dragged by quite quickly, featuring the ordeal of Halloween and the gustarory satisfaction of Thanks- giving. where Botch Kemper and Burr Vogel tied for the title of the I7orm's biggest eater. We returned from the Christmas respite feeling almost like Old Boys. That is, until we were introduced to the totally new sensation of cleaning rinks. It was demonstrated that, in order to stumble around on the Tripod rink, we had certain obliga- tions to fulfill in the form of scraping, sweeping, squeegeeing, moving boards, and all of the other joys of a South Kent Winter Term. I guess we survived. How? Who knows! As one dis- gruntled individual put it, It kills time. Anyway, it was not long before the glorious Spring Term, Spring Fever is a common malady among the young, and we were no exception. We got rid of our frustrations in many 9 I n nr-x .us ns First Team Pat SOUTH KENT SCHOOL XVaggy ways. the least of which was sneaking OLII of the Dorm at night. Sneaking out of the Dorm during the Spring Term is an exploit which lar exceeds panty raids for danger and excitement. Of course. there were some who preferred the more exotic pleasure of climbing the Dorm roof tslope of H9 degreesl. Why? Because it's there, said Mallory MatDougal tten ascentsl. On the whole, we could look back at our first year as an eventful one, filled with the things which make life exciting, such as all those classes with Ma Brown. One might even venture to say that we were sorry to leave after Prize Day, not mo sorry, but with a lump in the throat, Upon our triumphant return as Old Boys in September of 1954, we were joined by twenty New Boys, which made us a definite power in the school. We all had to become acquainted with Mr. Bartlett, who had taken a sabbatical the year before. We all grew to like and respect him as had thirty years of South Kenters before us. As the Fall Term was launched, we elected Peter Lee to lead our unruly mob. As is traditional, our Fall Term was taken up uf' Abdul - , ,'.1 ei D Lk J , 'arf A s ,e Q xg Q 7,1 .mb uv Marti with football. The greater part of us once again sparked the Midgets. Some of us, w ho had grown sufficiently, however, made the upper teams. Legare Cuyler, our faculty brat , john Farr, and President Lee, all were stalwarts of the Kidget backlield, while Botch Kemper anchored the Kid line. As the term progressed, we got dunked on Halloween, stuffed on Thanks- giving, and sprung for Christmas in almost no time at all. In the winter, we attacked the hockey problem with varying degrees of success. Cree Cuyler was a sensation on the First Team. john Farr, Pete Finch, and our Canadian Flash , Russ Patitz, sparked the Leagues, and Al Hewat's Hot Shots battled it out with jack Tripletts' Cads on the Tripod level. Ma Brown organized a Midget team which, with a minimum of con- fused practice, managed to tie lndian Mountain, after losing to Ramsey Hall. The big moment of the Winter Term came when the Trustees met and authorized the new library. Expectations arose, as did Docs morale, as did everyones French mark. We were greeted on our April return by the rumble of bull- ie. Y- Pease YEARBOOK l958 Ki f 1 Speaker of the llouseu XY'.S.l:. 1lo7ers, 11s CXti1lV.lfl0I1S l7L'Q.lI1.

Mr. Stephens' top directional efforts featured Will Farish, Al Mathews, Alan Hewat, Ricky Tompkins, Pat Smith, and Marshall Peabody, Also fea- tured Qwho could miss it?J was the more than usually surrealistic set by Legare Cuyler, our own contribution to the art world. Such enthusiasm was generated that the play was going to go on the road , someone said. Ah, well . . . The Xmas Period of Change slipped by as usual lall too shortly and we found ourselves back for the grey days in what seemed like only a week's time. We found our form represented on the hockey team at every starting position. With Mal Lloyd, john Farr, and Captain Cuyler spearheading the offense and Gill laying 'em out behind the blue line, our team improved amazingly, progressing from the opening day's l-l-l fiasco with Taft to a last-game victory over Berkshire. For the leagues, we submitted to the Old Men , and did quite well in our mid- years. Towards the end of the term, the social activity perked up and there were dances with St. Margarets and Viewpoint, A proposed dance with Foxhollow had to be postponed, however, because of a chicken pox epidemic, which, it seemed, many of the girls hadn't had. From the looks of the inlirmary, we hadn't, either. At tcrm's end, we were subjected to the brainwashing tech- niques of the College Board tests and then sent on our way, to prepare ourselves for Spring Term, We walked back up the Hill with our baseball mitts, tennis rackets, or chamois-seated crew pants under our arms, prepared to make the most of this, the last term, before the weight of the school would rest upon out shoulders. johnny Farr captainecl the baseball team to what can only be called an up-and-down season. The proof of this is demonstrated by the two Berkshire games. We won the first one at home, 1-0 on Pat Smith's two- hitter. Then we made the mistake of venturing into their terri- tory. With the aid of a minor dust storm and a 100 m.p.h. gale, they fought us to a tense, 35-2, win, The Second Team, led by Peter Moon, did a bit better, posting a 9-3 record. The tennis squad had its usual season and the brightest spot on the Crew was provided by Alan Pease's third boat, although the first boat Congo C-Poole Pee-Wee SOUTH KENT SCHOOL Mal You bet they're Tacsf' featured such competent crab-catchers as Chip Monck, Pete Lee. and Mal Lloyd. Mothers and Fathers Wec-kentl were sparked by the Play- house's Gold in the Hills , a real old-style melodrama Ccomplete with hissing of the villainsj. Among the surprises was Mrs. Richards' playing of the feminine lead and jim Lanier's ample disguise as a great undercover agent, As the year ended, we took over for the annual, Hell Week which features just about everything, including exams. Messrs. Cuyler, Pease. and lfarr were the new Prefects, Gill was the Senior Class President, and Farish fdon't ask us howl J , the Sub-Prefect. Biggest disappointment of the year's end? It was when Waggy had to give up his bicycle to take up an inspecting job. The first burden on the new Sixth Form was having to come back early, two days early. The new boys arrived one day before the rest of the school, and finally the old boys sneaked in. The Football Team, with the Peabodys' leadership, and the coaching of Birdie Edwards, '47, drove to a 3-2-1 season, the best in many a year. The high point was, of course, the Sl-I4 win over The Gunnery, preceded by a weekend which featured more spirit than had been seen at S.K.S. in many a year. Even our sedate sacristan got caught up in the frenzy, as Cess threw what appeared to be the sacristy door on the bonfire on Friday night. The Fall Term also was marked by the wave of Asiatic Flu which went through the student body like a bat out of the Schoolhouse basement. At one time two thirds of the school was incapacitated, the top fioor of the old building was an emergency ward C37 patientsj, and several strange ladies in white uniforms were spotted on campus. By sheer willpowet, however, we were out of it by Thanksgiving time. The night before Thanksgiving vacation began, we celebrated Hallowe'en fyes, the Flu did scramble things a bitp in the traditional Play- house method. The skits were arranged to fit all tastes, from the humorous, All or Nothing , by Frog and Rec-Kee , to ,lg Green the macabre, I Hold Your Hand in Mine , gruesomely acted out by Battling -lack Agate. Within three weeks of that night we had left, returned, and left again, this time for Christmas. The Winter Term swept down upon us and almost imme- diately brought us face-to-face with Mid-Years. We did have time for some hockey, first, with the first team's first victory over Taft in five years and the overtime victory over Hotchkiss. The newly-organized second team also provided some thrills, with the Idiot Line of Monck, Hewat, and Farish releasing some of the tension with comedy. Immediately following Mid-Years, the Sixth Form gave its Follies , the biggest hit of which was Jim Lanier's piano playing and the biggest surprise of which was Tom Shapiro, who turned out to be the best looking female around since Archie's voice changed. As this Year Book is inked, we have yet half a year to spend under the domination of the Schoolhouse Bell. If it follows the precedent already set fsuch as Ted Madara's egg-fighting with Mr. Whittemorej we should have a fairly raucous Spring Term, ending our respective years at South Kent Cyears which range from two to sixj on a high and happy tone. Mad one YEARBOOK 1958 D Y SCUTH KE . 3? fa-Wray! i 51: Early Birds In the wee hours of the morning, an enterprising and sleepy observer might see lights in the Library, Classroom I, or some other such place flicker on. This marks the unofficial beginning of a South Kent day. Several hours later he might see a solitary hgure tottering down a walk about a half an hour before rising bell, on his way to serve in morning chapel. At 6:50, 7:00 or 7:30, depending upon the day of the week and the time of year, the day officially begins. The bell clangs, and soon afterwards the buildings erupt, spilling forth students, hrst timidly, as ground-hogs seeking their shadows, and then more boldly. Gradually the students' lungs and eyes become accustomed to the morning air. These stumbling somnambulists descend upon the dining room for the morning gruel and rolls which await them. After breakfast comes the job period, the making of beds, the sweeping of hallways, etc., after which, the school gathers in the study hall for job assembly. This having been disposed of the school settles down to the relaxation of morning classes. For five class periods and a recess we occupy ourselves with the pursuit of knowledge, before dispersing for lunch. After a hasty sampling of the kitchen's wares, we return to the classrooms for two more periods. Classes over, we set our respective courses towards the athletic fields for an afternoon of physical exertion. In the late afternoon comes another job period, followed, of course, by another assembly. Immediately preceding dinner is evening chapel, where our bodies are rested in favor of our souls. Following dinner there is a night study hall, ending the day by tiring out the brain. At 9:30, for everyone with the exception of the Fifth Form who may study until ten, and the Sixth Formers, some of whom have been known to use No-Doz , lights go out and the day ends . . . 479905 fg ,Mew J Morning Server XX f X. if s, TX at if A ,lit K-9 ,9 Rising, Bell Already?

Shakes- peare's Twelfth Night represented an accomplishment on all sides. ln the hrst place, the set was designed by Richard Clasler, an undergraduate at the Yale Drama School. lt was conceived to transform the Playhouse into an lilizabethan-type stage and, under the capable car- pentry of the building crew, it well succeeded. ln the second place, the girl's parts were played by girls, lwith the exception of Al I-lewat's lisping Mariah! St. Margarc-t's School supplied two young ladies to take the romantic parts of Olivia and Viola and their direct- ress, Mrs. Ryc Trier jackson, helped Mr. Wittenberg in the gruelling task of preparing the show. ln the third place, there was music. Witli the aid of Mr. Booth, the Playhouse rang with the strains of Old English songs, as sung by Archie Frost, as Fabian, and jimmy Lanier, as the guitar-playing jester. The whole show, ingeniously conceived and remark- ably prepared was enthusiastically received by the crowds on Fathers Wfeelcend.

The old art room was taken over by the Biology Laboratory. A new ceiling and fluorescent lighting have added to the workableness of the room. Aside from Mrs. XX!ood who has been a constant help, Mr. Neufeld, a local artist has given time regularly to help us out. He conducted a series of classes during Tues- day afternoons during the fall term. The main efforts of the Club were directed to- ward the exhibit of the Housatonic Art Asso- ciation, an association made up of nine schools in the area. All the entries were as- sembled here in late january and the final selection and judging of the show took place in the Library. Cuyler won hrst prize in oils and the prize for technical competence. Coes, Richards, and Scott Kuhner, also entered exhibits. The work generally has been charcoal, pastel, and pencil sketches with some diver- sion into oils and sculpture. Other current members are Craig Kuhner, Jeff Stoddard, Bill Riker, Rick Wfoods, Bill Heuss, Sheldon Potter, Phil Kobbe, and Mike Ward. f N New 4 5 ' 1 -1 . I .

The first match was some- what of a surprise as the team swept Canter- bury 5-O, all the games being completed within twenty minutes. Against Millbrook, however, the team went the whole time limit in a 3-2 win. The trip over to Milbrook was rudely interrupted when Mr. Wliitte- more's car broke down and the boys had to run two miles in the snow to get to the school in time for the match. This exercise conditioned the players, and the team took Viewpoint 5-0. The Cardinal and Black's next match was a draw with Wtmoster, ZW- ZM. This put the team into contention for the title, but because of an outbreak of measles the Kent match was postponed until the spring term. Our hopes for the cham- pionship were crushed with a 4-l loss to Kent, and the season ended with a three win, one loss, one tie record. The order of chess boards remained al- most identical for the season. The boards were: Jack Agate, one, Rod Burton, twog Dave Budding, three, and Dick l.oveland, four. The fifth board was played at various times by joe Jackson, Tex Castiller, and joe Kemper. YEARBOOK 1958 THE GLEE CLUB Back row fl. to r.J: Lowe, Riker, Wheeler, Barr, Ainley, Smith, P., Frost C.

Pf2CfiCC ACCOMPAN IST: Tollefsen The Glee Club spent the Fall Term in preparation for a special Nine Lessons and Carols service in the Chapel. This service was presented on the Sunday before Christ- mas vacation. Among the Carols prepared by the Glee Club were Lo, How a Rose E'er Blooming, Sing, Ye Sons of Men, and Sing, Oh Sing. During the Winter Term the emphasis was placed on rehearsing the Hartford Group for its performance of Handel's Mcrriala at the Spring Choral Festival. The concert, given on April 27th in the Bushnell Memorial Director Booth Auditorium in Hartford, featured twenty representatives from South Kent in the cho- rus of Glee Clubs and Choirs from sixteen schools. Among the other highlights of the year were an Evening Prayer service at St. John's Church in New Milford, a dance at St. Mar- garet's School in Waterbury, and an outdoor concert for the guests on Father's Weekend. Also, as an adjunct to the Glee Club, an Octet was formed which warbled at most of the school's functions and delighted many with its intimate harmony. SOUTH KENT SCHOOL THE WORKSHOP Although the workshop received very lit- tle public notice during the year many proj- ects were undertaken and completed by those whose inclinations led them to be creative woodworkers. jackson Kemper, Chip Bettle, jay Cumming, Chris Mabley, Bill Dillen and many others were active in the shop. The facilities of the shop have grown con- siderably since it was first started four years ago. It is hoped that next year we shall be able to secure the services of an instructor who will be in the shop once a week or more to give help to those who want to avail themselves of the opportunities afforded. The Green Thumbs THE CAMERA CLUB The Camera Club has been only sporadi- cally productive in recent years but this year there was a burst of activity sparked by Mike Thomas, Dave Budding, Jim Lanier, Bill White, and Chris Mabley. Between them they processed many of the pictures which are seen in this edition of the yearbook. Meetings were held weekly to organize their activities. Next year it is hoped that the Club will be even more active. All done but the trimmings In the early days of the school a group of dedicated and public-spirited students decided to do something about improving the looks of the school grounds. Under the aegis of Miss Dulon they planted and cared for several gardens as well as much of the shrubbery which is even now to be seen around some of the older buildings. In recent years Martin has been tending to the necessary pruning and cultivating, but with the retirement of Martin a group of students under the leader- ship of Alan Pease combined to accomplish the necessary work. This work has been done completely voluntarily in the best tradition of the original gardeners. Like those names of the early workers the names of those who worked on the grounds this year will be en- graved on a shield which will be put on the large apple tree by the walk in the center of the school grounds as a fitting reminder of their good work.

SOUTH KENT FOOTBALL South Kent can look back on the 1957 football season as one of accomplishment and success. Although the re- sults could have been more favorable, the team is to be congratulated for success where others had failed during the preceding seasons. With the final victory over the Gunnery, the record stands at three wins, two losses, and one tie. The season opened at Millbrook where the team showed great promise and fine spirit. Although the game resulted in a scoreless tie, South Kent proved to be the stronger of the two teams, since it had possession of the ball for most of the game. The defense was excellent, but some- how our offense was not able to grind out the last few yards to victory. The following Saturday at Peekskill, N.Y., South Kent had its first taste of victory over St. Peter's School. The score of this first game between the two schools was 19-O. During the hrst half, the ball was exchanged evenly between the teams but during the second half, our team showed its superiority. On the fourth play of the second-half, South Kent scored on a forty-yard run by Bob Comstock. Co- Captain Gill Peabody ran the extra-point. Nothing could stop the team after this, and William Farish and Co-Captain Marshall Peabody scored the remaining points. On the following Saturday, Mother's Weekend, a large crowd saw South Kent lose to Westminster on the Eastburn field. South Kent started the scoring with a forty-yard run by Farish. The lead was only temporary, however, as the Westminster powerhouse wore down the team and went on to win 19-7. After the Westminster game, South Kent played thc Asian Flu and lost. A great deal of manipulating with the schedule occurred during the flu epidemic, but finally a rematch was set with St. Peter's. Two weeks had passed since our last game, and there was some doubt as to whether or not the team would be up to par. However, all fears were calmed when the team got on the field, and once again Backfield Coach Edwards Head Coach Brown Line Coach Mankin YEARBOOK 1958 -Jain ff Farr pitching out against Millbrook South Kent emerged victorious by a score of I9-6. The Cardinal and Black scored in the first period on a pass from Farr to Moon. The conversion was unsuccessful. South Kent scored minutes later when Marshall Peabody ripped through the line for ten yards. Pat Smith booted the extra- point. ln the opening moments of the third period, Farr passed to Tompkins for the last South Kent tally. St. Peter's scored its lone touchdown in the closing minutes of the third period. On November 12, the day after the game with Saint Peter's, South Kent lost to a better team from Salisbury by a score of 12-0. The defense of both teams was outstand- ing, but Salisbury broke through in the middle of the third period for two touchdowns. After that, the team held its own. Much praise must go to the team for the fine spirit it showed. l-lad it not, the strong Salisbury team would have had a much easier time than it did. The highlight of the season came on November 16, when South Kent played its traditional last game with the Gunnery. A superior South Kent team ran through a fight- ing Gunnery team Sl-l-4. Since the Gunnery had won for the last few years, spirits were unusually high in South Z john Farr, winner of the Garfield Trophy Kent. The first score of the game was made for the Cardinal and Black on a pass from Tompkins to Comstock. Smith's extra point try was wide leaving the score 6-0. The Gun- nery scored in the second half and was successful in its attempt for the extra-point, leaving the score at the end of the first period 6-7. The South Kent team went into the third period with tremendous spirit. During the whole period, Gunnery con- trolled the ball for only seven plays. South Kent scored twice with Comstock and Farr running the ball. At the beginning of the fourth period, Gunnery scored leaving the score at 19-14 in favor of South Kent. South Kent tallied twice more on passes from Farr to Comstock and Lloyd. South Kent played its best during this game. Offensively and defensively it surpassed the efforts shown in the pre- ceding games. The james R. Garfield III trophy was awarded to John Farr. Guy Mankin's trophy for linemen was awarded to Peter Moon and Chad Lockwood. The greatest praise, how- evre, goes to each and every member of the team and the coaches, headed by Coach Brown, whose efforts made the season what it was.

HOCKEY SEASON 1958 The hockey season started Cafter only three days on the icej with a hard-fought 2-0 win over Taft. A good share of the credit for the victory went to goalie Marshall Peabody who made 27 close saves. Aggressive opposition and poor hockey, however, accounted for a 4-0 loss to Kent the following Saturday. At Wfestminster a week later the team was very slow moving, falling behind 5-0 in the first period. However, the team did come back to prove that it could play hockey by outscoring Westrninster in the last two periods with a goal each to the credit of the first line of Farr, Lloyd, and Cuyler. The second line of Leever, Lyttle, and Frost, A. also began to be effective. The next game against Hotchkiss was a real thriller. The game went into a 5 minute overtime with the score at 1-1. At 3:26 Hotchkiss scored to take the lead. Then at 3:56 Mal Lloyd tied it up. After 8 minutes of continuous play by the first line and defense, Captain Farr fired and scored the clincher a scant 10 seconds short of the final whistle. The team shook off its mid-term exam cramps with a sweep over Canterbury 5-1. Perry Butler, freshly moved up from the second team, scored a goal to break a first line monopoly, and promptly became a regular defenseman. The team was again defeated by Choate 5-0 and by Kent 5-1. Salisbury, however, bowed 6-1. Coach Humphreys Captain Farr YEARBOOK 1958 MH Cuyler slips one in On February 15th the team went to Taft for a return match. It was a fight from the start. Two neat goals by Defenseman Haines and Center Lloyd put us in the lead. Shortly after, Taft came back to score. Cuyler netted the third S.K.S. score in the first period. Taft again retaliated to close the gap 2-1 as the time ran out. For the next wo periods S.K.S. probably played some of its best hockey of the season. The power play worked well save for that final step. Although dominating the play Taft only tied the score near the end of the second period. The game went into overtime at 3-3, and it was a fight to the end. Several penalties hampered the team and S.K.S. was overcome with 15 seconds remaining. The next week we were neither able to break a 3-5 tie with Hotchkiss nor were we able to penetrate the Army on Saturday. The final Choate game the following Wednesday, the last game for a team which had played together for the better part of four years, was a tighter and more frenzied game than the 5-2 score would indicate. Finishing strong we bore in but were unable to overcome Choate's early lead. The trip to Philadelphia to play an allegedly Old Men's team was also an experience. 1' I 'x., ., wg K iw ui?-i,'1'iSf, sr - ' - ' lt9WQ??5QilfQ23f'ilfH'suaat..'faa!'45xa,la. 1 . The Peabodys in action Gill Peabody, Marcus Haines, and Perry Butler held the defensive positioning with assistance from Lockwood. Bob Comstock moved up about half way in the season to fill a slot on the second line which fought well during the whole season. The first line-up was made up almost entirely of old timers who started with Coach Humphreys and who came along together to conclude, if not the most successful, at least a very enjoyable season.

SECOND TEAM HOCKEY The old Ham n' Eggers, an unorganized group chosen from the leagues, became out- moded this year with the advent of the Sec- ond Team, a well coached farm club for the varsity. Because of the growing compe- tition in the Housatonic League, it was felt that our players must have more coaching before reaching the first team. The new squad made its debut in grand style by defeating Wcmoster and Hotchkiss, and tying Kent. From this point on the picture darkened considerably as the team lost its initial spark. It was actually not until the hnal game with Taft that the team un- leashed its potential quality in a game that proved to be the hardest fought game of the season. +m........ ff' What, Me Worry? Although the Second Team lost the ma- jority of its games, the season was far from unsuccessful. Two first team lettermen, Bob Comstock and Perry Butler, had their initial training on the new second team, with many other players receiving a valuable hockey education for next season. The lines and defenses changed so often that it would be f .sa 3 , iw impossible to list them accurately, but much . credit is due to Seniors Farish, Hewat, Tomp- . as . kins, and Rianhard, Juniors Frost, Lavino and Finch, and Sophomores Lyttle, Smith, and Maton, for giving the new second team a successful beginning. .

The first races were held at St. Mark's, where South Kent was overcome by three superior crews. On Alumni Weekend of the following week, the weather was so bad that all baseball and tennis had to be postponed, and a large crowd watched The Gunnery de- feat our first three crews on Lake Waramaug. During the next week some changes were made in the boatings, and although the second and third boats lost, South Kent's first defeated Salisbury here at Hatch Pond.

On Regatta Weekend at Lake Quinsigamond, the South Kent crews again met the boats which they had raced during the scheduled season. The third boat, stroked by Barr, beat Salisbury in the invitation race, and the first boat, stroked by Monck, beat Choate in its consolation race. The second boat, stroked by Cowan, lost both races to much better crews. The whole crew squad would like to thank the coaches, Messrs. Dingman, Small, and' Smith for the help they rendered this season, and also the Father's Association and an anonymous donor for the gift of two new shells for next season.

The fourth and fifth boat season was characterized by much competitive spirit although the record of victories was not particularly impressive. The season for the lower boats began with the fourth boat racing a dead heat against the Gunnery. The fourth boat raced Salisbury at South Kent next and lost by two boat lengths. The next race involved both boats at Salis- bury. Although the fifth boat lost by two boat lengths, the fourth boat lost by only one. The highlight of the season was the Regatta involving South Kent, Salisbury, and Gunnery at South Kent. Both races were well rowed with South Kent taking second in each. Gunnery took first in both races, winning the first boat race in 3:02 and the fourth boat race in a blazing 2:55.5.

THE BASEBALL SEASON The baseball team this year again failed to produce any victories in the early part of the season. This failure provided the team with a final record of only 4 wins and 9 losses, which was the same as the record of the previous year. More than any other factor, the major problem was the team batting, although Will Farish led the team with .3-40. A team batting average of .204 is hardly enough to provide many victories. The season began with four successive losses of league games to Salisbury, Canterbury, Westminster, and Gun- nery, removing S.K.S. from any contention within the league. However, on Saturday, Apr. 26, South Kent came through with its first triumph of the season against a new rival, St. Peter's, 10-8. A long triple by Legare Cuyler and a brilliant relief stint by Bob Comstock were instru- mental in the victory. Then S.K.S. lost its next three games to Berkshire, Canterbury, and Westnuinster before the most powerful hitting attack to date, led by Captain john Farr who had a double and a single. Then, on Fathers' Weekentl, the S.K.S. baseball team reached its peak by defeating Salisbury, 8-4, behind a home run by Bob Comstock and triples by Skip Chapman and Pete Moon. Skip Chapman also started on the hill but was unable to go the route and was provided with able assist- ance by Pat Smith in relief. As a climax to the season, Pat Smith, in his last pitch- ing appearance at S.K.S., threw a one-hitter at The Gun- nery to lead the team to its third successive victory, 5-1. Then, in the final game of the year, despite a home run by Tom Leever, S.K.S. lost to Berkshire, 6-2, in a hard fought battle. In closing, highest praise must go to Messrs. Edwards and Richards for their excellent coaching and advice.

This year the team, playing on the four new courts which were constructed on the Bruner Rink, showed a vast improvement. Younger boys have evinced a greater interest in tennis, resulting in a depth which has always been lacking. This year the squad competed against Millbrook, St. Peter's, Gunnery, Wooster, Salisbury, Canterbury, and the Kent seconds. Of these the team defeated Wooster and St. Peter's. On the ladder in descending order were the following: Cal Frost, Mal Lloyd, Archie Frost, Stu Towns- end, Bob Gardner, Ken Fertig, and Dave Fuller. The Frost cousins played the first doubles, while Lloyd and Mathews filled the spots of the second doubles. Mathews was this year's captain, but because of past football injuries he was unable to participate in singles competition. Durin the earl art of this ast season man indi Coach Humphreys Captain Mathews Y P ' viduals diiinguished themselves by? working very lfard to get the new courts in shape. Al Mathews, Marshall Pea- body and Bob Waldner led the willing workers. Coach Humphreys was, as ever, in good coaching form and he succeeded in showing the players many of the fine points of the game. First Doubles in action?
