At graduation in 1979, the Fenn School Board of Trustees established an English prize to honor the long and dedicated service of William O. Travers, English teacher and assistant headmaster from 1956 to 1979. Mr. Travers’ keen interest in writing and his long-held desire for a composition prize prompted a contest to be created in each division of the school for which submissions of imaginative, creative, and descriptive writing were sought. This year, in the Lower School, Colin M. Regenauer, a fifth grader, received the Travers Prize, with Honorable Mention awarded to fourth grader Gray M. Hussey. In the Middle School, the winner was seventh grader Raef J. Gormley, with Honorable Mention awarded to seventh grader Daniel J. M. Broun. In the Upper School, Adam N. Jolly, a ninth grader, received the prize, with Honorable Mention awarded to ninth grader Benjamin W. Stone.
