The Kingswood School Class Book, 1945 (West Hartford, CT)

Slim, but attractive, class book with just light wear to boards. Overall very clean inside and out and tightly bound. Small bit of foxing to first and last pages only. The Kingswood School was founded in 1916 by George R.H. Nicholson as one of the nation's first independent day schools. It was named for his alma mater in England and consequently retained that school's crest, motto, colors of crimson and black, and symbol, the Wyvern, a mythological winged dragon with an eagle's claws and a serpent's tail. It 's sister school, Oxford, was for girls only and was founded in 1909. Today the schools are joined and co-ed. School actually served elementary age boys as well as those in high school, and they are featured in the photos, though the emphasis is on the class of 1945, the average age of which was 17-1/2 according to an interesting page of vital statistics. Book measures 8"x11" and has 88 pages -- and a sense of humor. If you would like me to look up somone for you please use the contact button and I'll be glad to do it.
