The Belmont Hill School Yearbook
1 9 3 5
THIS FIRST BELMONT HILL SCHOOL YEARBOOK IS DEDICATED TO THE MEMORY OF OUR TWO HEADMASTERS, REGINALD HEBER HOWE 1923 to 1932 and WILLIAM HAROLD TAYLOR 1932 to 1935
WILLIAM HAROLD TAYLOR MR TAYLOR was appointed the second headmaster of Belmont Hill in 1932. He had been closely associated with Dr. Howe, both as an undergraduate at Harvard, and for many years as a fellow teacher at Middlesex School. In the short time he was at Belmont Hill he made few changes in the organization of the school, as he found himself in sympathetic agreement with most of the traditions which had been established under his predecessor. In addition to his executive duties Mr. Taylor directed the annual musical play. Under his able direction these productions shortly reached new heights of perfection. It was while he was busied on his third production that he fell ill, and then just as his condition seemed improving he suddenly died. Mr. Taylor's friendliness was the trait that most of the boys will remember best. To any of them seeking advice, to those perplexed or in despair over some problem, his quick sympathy, his infinite patience, and kindly counsel were consolation.

AFTER THE death of Mr. Taylor, Mr. Morse was appointed headmaster, and the class wishes to extend to him the hope that he will bring the school to new heights in the future. Of our teachers during this last year, Mr. Wilson is the representative of the history department. In his day, he was a star hockey player at Andover and Harvard, and he is now the coach of this sport at Belmont. Mr. Jenney, a graduate of Browne and Nichols as well as Harvard, reads us the Latin poets, and coaches the tennis players as well. Dr. Shapiro, Harvard '14, whom we associate with French during the past few years, succeeded Mr. Taylor in the German class. Last year Mr. Hamilton taught Geometry, and this year his job is to try to push us through the much-dreaded Physics examination. Mr. Willey is teaching both sections of the English class and he is one of the few members of the faculty who do not come from Harvard, being a Princeton graduate. He is also the coach of the baseball team. Mr. Alexander coaches football and teaches some of the mathematics. Mr. Jackson is the other member of the mathematics department, and Mr. Keller teaches English History and the first few years of Latin. This year Mr. Downes assisted in the coaching of the hockey team during the illness of Mr. Wilson. He teaches only the lower classes, as does Mr. Dow, who will select the yacht racing crew. Thomas R.

The Cast of H. M. S. Pinafore
Dramatics Two ONE-ACT plays were given last fall in the Field House. It was the first time such a form of entertainment has been presented for several years, and the newly-formed Dramatic Society, of which Charles Butcher was chairman this year, was without doubt responsible for the renewed enthusiasm. Mr. Wilson was the coach of the first play, "The King's English." The play in general was lacking in the action and excitement expected, but the acting throughout was excellent. Orson Thomas, Donald Ebersole, and Malcolm McNair had the leading parts, assisted by Eaton, D., Holcombe, Baldwin, Foster, Clement, and Silver, E. "The Drums of Oude," coached by Mr. Taylor, certainly made up for any excitement that "The King's English" lacked. Gordon Donald as Captain McGregor, Warren Dellenbaugh as Mrs. Jack Clayton, and Campbell as Lt. Hartley all turned in excellent acting in extremely difficult parts. Minor characters were played by Butcher, Richardson, Loomis, and Silver, E. The annual Gilbert and Sullivan Operetta presented this year was "H. M. S. Pinafore." A great many difficulties and setbacks encountered the cast during the last ten days, but in spite of all these, the production was given as scheduled on the 21st and 22nd of March. Mr. Taylor's illness, which necessitated calling upon Mr. Arthur Lamb of Middlesex to assist in the coaching, and the arrival of several cases of German measles the day of dress rehearsal, were among the handicaps encountered. The large cast included several excellent principals; Brewster as Sir Joseph Porter; Fuller as Ralph Rackstraw; Wood as Captain Corcoran; Ellis as Buttercup; and Eric Cawley as Josephine. Minor parts were played by Baxter, Fay, Greene and Summers. The chorus of sailors included: Beane, Butcher, Dewey, J. Eaton, D. Eaton, Elwell, Mercer, Pratt, Richardson, Shapley, Tappan and Turner. The following Dramatic Productions have been given during the stay of the class of 1935 at Belmont Hill.

Debating
Tarbell, Foote, Morse, Brewster, Campbell, Butcher
THE DEBATING team, coached by Mr. Morse, was composed of Foote, Tarbell, Campbell and Butcher. The first debate was at Belmont on Wednesday evening, January 30, with Middlesex. The subject, with Belmont upholding the negative was; "Resolved, that both the manufacture and sale of all munitions in this country be placed under permanent federal control." Following the rebuttals delivered by Foote and by Whitney of Middlesex, Belmont was awarded the decision, by vote of three to one. On March 13 the annual debate with Groton was held in the chapel at Belmont, and for the second successive year the Belmont team was the victor. The subject was, "Resolved, that the economic forces leading to war under capitalism are greater than those under socialism." The Belmont team was the same as that in the Middlesex debate, except that Brewster took the place of Tarbell. The decision was unanimous and thus the Belmont team completed its second undefeated season. A second team, composed of Brewster, Butcher, Fuller and Richardson, defeated the Middlesex second team in its only debate. The Debating Society this year elected Charles Butcher as chairman, with Petri as clerk until the middle of the year. In most of the debates this year the vote has been close between conservatives and liberals. Tarbell, Gordon, Donald, and Butcher were among the leading conservatives, with the liberals led by Foote, Campbell, Brewster, Baldwin and Taussig. At the annual dinner of the Society, Brewster was elected chairman for the coming year, and Baldwin clerk. In the debate in this annual meeting, an attempt to amend the constitution radically was defeated, but a liberal resolution condemning the naval maneuvers near the Japanese Coast was adopted overwhelmingly.

ABOUT A week and a half before school began last fall, the candidates for the first football team met and received their first talks from Coaches Hoague and Alexander. Although the team of the previous year had, for the most part, graduated, the coaches found that they had a pair of strong tackles in the form of Tom Talbot and George Tarbell; two veteran guards in Captain Carstein and Dave Lawrence; and the three other letter men to fill the backfield and one end position, namely Mercer, Wheeler, and Silver. On September 29, the team inaugurated the season by bowing to a heavier and more experienced St. George's outfit at Newport, R. I. It was a rainy day and resulted in a game characterized by fumbles and slippery playing by both teams. On the following Saturday we played our second game. This time our opponents were from Portsmouth Priory and although it was also raining for this game, the team began to click for the first time and the result was our first victory of the year. On Wednesday, October 10, the Roxbury Latin team journeyed to Belmont for what proved to be a highly exciting game, and gave Belmont its second victory of the season. The
following Saturday morning found the Belmont eleven on the Milton Academy field. Even though this game added to our list of defeats, the spirit displayed by our team in its second half comeback left the Belmont supporters with a distinct feeling of satisfaction. The first half of the game was a three touchdown rout by Milton, but in the second half it was an entirely different Belmont team which outplayed their opponents steadily. On the 27th the team came up against its old rival, Nobles, or more correctly, Noble and Greenough. This proved to be the outstanding game of the year with both teams fighting hard for the victory which finally went to Nobles. It should be added here that the line, although outweighed by ten or more pounds to the man, turned in an outstanding performance. The last two games on our schedule proved to be rather one-sided in our favor, but both of the opposing schools, namely Browne and Nichols and Brooks, showed very creditable spirit against a stronger eleven. Throughout almost the entire season the team was lined up as follows: the line was composed of Wheeler,Talbot, T., Lawrence, Meyer, Carstein, Tar-
bell, and Butcher, while the backfield consisted of Silver, Wood, Tappan, and Rice. The season's record of four wins and three defeats should, I believe, be considered satisfactory, especially in the light of the fact that at no time was the team beaten by more than one touchdown with the exception of the opening game. A large part of the credit for this record should go to the line for its fine defensive and offensive work and also to Ted Silver for his brilliant passing which earned many points. There were two minor teams in the Upper School. The Senior Coefficient team,coached by Mr. Downes, lost one and won two games. The Junior Coefficient team was coached by Mr. Morse, and had a record of two victories and two losses. • The following were awarded their letters: Car-
stein, Lawrence, Tarbell, Talbot, T., Butcher, Wheeler, Silver, Rice, Tappan, Wood, Meyer, Mercer, Dewey, Page, Williams, and Foster. A letter was also awarded to Manager Campbell. Meyer has been elected to captain the 1935 team, and Moody appointed as manager. A record of the first team's scores follows: St. Georges 20, Belmont Hill 0. Belmont Hill 14, Portsmouth Priory 0. Belmont Hill 13, Roxbury Latin 0. Milton Academy 19, Belmont Hill 13. Noble and Greenough 21, Belmont Hill 13. Belmont Hill 26, Browne and Nichols 0. Belmont Hill 21, Brooks 0. A. W.R.

THE HOCKEY season for 1935 saw the first team with a record of 5 wins, 4 losses, and 1 tie. The junior and lower school teams were undefeated. Good weather prevailed through most of the season, and only two of the scheduled games had to be cancelled. Early in December the first ice of the season arrived, and the team had a good many practice sessions behind it before going into the Boston Garden on the 21st to face the powerful Harvard freshman sextet. Several of our graduates, notably Hicks, Eaton and Emerson, and the entire first line of last year's undefeated Milton six were on the freshman team which completely outclassed us in the first two periods. Near the end, however, our defense tightened, and the brilliant play of Rice in our goal characterized the latter part of the game. There was ice through most of Christmas vacation, and informal practices were held several times and the team was in good condition for its first game in January against Country Day. The ice was very poor at Newton and good team play was lacking on both sides, Belmont winning by a 6-2 margin. In the last two periods, a great many penalties were given out in what was probably the roughest bit of play witnessed all year. On Monday, January 14, was played one of the
most exciting games of the season, the 1-1 deadlock with Noble and Greenough. Because of the biting cold, only a few persons from Belmont watched our team come from behind to tie the score late in the game by virtue of a beautiful goal by Butcher. In spite of the rough ice it was a clean, hard fought contest throughout, with Harding playing brilliantly for the Dedham team and our defense players doing an excellent job to keep him covered. Darkness prevented the playing of an overtime period. Two days later Belmont went to Brookline and defeated Rivers by a margin of 8-1. In this game the second line and the defense did a large portion of the scoring. The hockey team suffered a severe loss after this game when Mr. Wilson contracted the grippe and later had to undergo an operation for mastoid. For this reason he was unable to coach again for the rest of the season, and his place was filled by Mr. Downes, who last year was the coach of the undefeated Junior team. On Saturday, the 19th of January, in our first home game, the team continued its fine play with a victory over Milton Academy, 4 to 1. A large part of the credit for the victory goes to our excellent defense of Carstein and Dewey, and to the play of Rice in the goal.
It was snowing when we left for our game with Andover on the 23rd, and by game time a regular blizzard was howling. After a scoreless first period the snow on the ice made it necessary to cancel the rest of the game, and unfortunately we were not able to play with the Andover team again. That same blizzard proved to be a record breaker, and on the next Monday the school looked forward to the seemingly hopeless task of clearing the deeplydrifted snow from the rinks; but everyone cooperated, from the faculty to the lower school, and the rink was ready for play on the 30th of the month for our return game with Noble and Greenough. With the first game having resulted in a tie, Belmont Hill was wild with excitement when Harry Wheeler scored in the first period. We maintained the lead until the last 5 minutes of the game. Then Harding, the Nobles star player, flashed three beautifully executed goals past Rice to give the Dedham team a 3 to 1 victory. It was a hard game to lose, with every player turning in an excellent performance. On February 1, we played a supposedly weak Roxbury Latin team; but our visitors turned in the biggest upset of our season when they won by a 2-0 margin. A postponed game with Middlesex was played off the next day, and Carstein and Dave Eaton led the team to a 4-0 victory. Our annual game with Brooks, scheduled for the 2nd of February, was called off due to sickness at the North Andover school. Our last week of regular games was opened when we went to Southboro on Feb.6 to attack the powerful St. Marks six. This was another thriller; both teams scored in the second period to tie the game at 1-1. In the last 15 seconds of the final period, St. Marks scored the goal which gave it victory. The last game of the year was a 2 to 1 overtime victory for Belmont against Governor Dummer at Belmont. Butcher scored in the last period to tie the score and Dave Eaton sank the winning goal in the opening minute of the overtime. The game was played on ice that had been considerably damaged by a thaw, and the numerous pools of water slowed up the play tremendously. Following the regular season, a special game was played, with the sixth form, assisted by the faculty, opposing the rest of the school. Rice, Carstein, Butcher, Johnny Eaton and Peavy led the six formers, supplemented with Messrs. Chadwick, Jenney and Baxter. Dewey, Wheeler, Elwell and Tappan were the leaders of a hoard of players who tried in vain to overcome the senior-master com-
bination. The game was tied at 3 to 3 after an overtime period had failed to break the deadlock. During the year the team was lined up as follows; the first line was composed of Butcher on right wing, Dave Eaton at center and Wheeler at left wing. This first line functioned capably in all the games and all three members made a good many goals and assists, leading the squad in this respect. At defense were Tubber Carstein and Steve Dewey, both of them contributing a good many excellent assists, and doing brilliant work in their capacity as defense men. In the net, Captain Art Rice made brilliant saves in almost every game and throughout the season his work was steady and dependable. The second line ' was composed of Eaton, J., Claflin, and Tappan. Spare forwards were available in Wood, Peavy, and Thomas. Clark was the spare defense player. The second team was coached by Mr. Baxter and in a short season won one and lost two games. They split in two games with Middlesex and lost to St. Marks. Peavy, Elwell, Kayser and Priddy were the outstanding players. The junior squad, coached by Mr. Downes, was undefeated and untied in their four games and for the second successive year captured their league Championship, a fact which bids well for the first teams of the next few years. They defeated Longwood Day, Country Day, Rivers and Fessenden. The leading players were Jim Baldwin, Stacy Hulse and Dick Loomis. The Lower School team was also undefeated, but was tied once. This team was coached by Mr. Lawrence and Sandy Ellis and Gus Summers stood out. The following were awarded letters: Rice, Dewey, Butcher, Carstein, Wheeler, Eaton, D., Tappan, Claflin, Eaton, J., Thomas, E., Foote (manager) and Petri (asst. manager). Steve Dewey has been elected captain for next year. C. F. The record of the first team follows: Harvitrd '38 7, Belmont Hill 0. Belmont Hill 1, Noble and Greenough 1. Belmont Hill 6, Country Day 2.

THERE were only six lettermen from the squad of the 1934 season, and many new and promising players, so that it was obvious that there would be considerable shifting around on the team before the best combination was selected. The veterans were headed by Captain Ted Silver, regular first baseman. The others were Wood,shortstop and leading hitter; Dewey, left-handed pitcher; Rogers and Carstein, outfielders; and D. Eaton, second baseman. Among the newcomers were Kayser and Tappan, catchers; Mercer and Beane, pitchers; Summers, third base; Hosmer and Fuller, pitchers or outfielders; and J. Eaton, outfielder. Four pitchers, Mercer, Dewey,Hosmer and Beane, showed their respective abilities in the opening game with Rivers, played April 17. Belmont won easily 14 to 6 as Hosmer christened the season by blasting a homer over the left field fence. In the next game Belmont beat Beacon 6 to 4, with Dewey, Beane and Hosmer pitching. The first of a string of defeats came from the hands of St. Marks at Southboro, and on April 27, Prouty's fine pitching was the cause of a defeat from Middlesex,9to 3. On the first of May came a heartbreaking defeat from Noble and Greenough, 12 to 11, after ten innings of play characterized by many errors. Four days later Governor Dummer came to Belmont and won 9 to 6 as the home team went to pieces after playing great baseball in the first four innings.
Two runs scored in the ninth inning enabled us to gain an 11 to 10 victory over Brooks school at North Andover, with Dewey and Hosmer on the mound. These same two pitchers led the team to victory over the Harvard Second freshmen on May 11. During the next week we suffered two shutouts, the first from Milton by a score better forgotten, the second 9 to 0 from St. Georges. Five runs in the third inning gave Middlesex its second victory over Belmont on May 22, by a final score of to 4. The failure of the infield to back up Mercer's fine pitching in a disastrous sixth inning caused Belmont's defeat by Groton, 9 to 5. On the 29th Roxbury Latin won a close game, 7 to 5, as Dewey pitched, and the last game of the season with Tabor, on June 1, was postponed because of rain. The coaches were Messrs. Willey, Baxter and Downes. The Junior squad was coached by Mr. Keller. The record of the first team follows: Belmont Hill 14, Rivers 6. Belmont Hill 6, Beacon 4. St. Marks 6, Belmont Hill 2. Middlesex 11, Belmont Hill 3. Noble and Greenough 12, Belmont Hill 11. Governor Dummer 9, Belmont Hill 6. Belmont Hill 11, Brooks 10. Belmont Hill 12, Harvard Freshmen 2nds 9.

As SOON AS the midyear exams were over, and the hockey season finished, the crew squad started to work on the machines down in "Cole's Hole," but it was not until the first day of April that a potential first crew took its opening spin on the Charles River. Coach Parker Hamilton had only two veterans, Tom and Dudley Talbot, from his last year's crew, and the remainder of the 1934 second crew furnished the rest of the experienced material. On the 27th of the month, an informal race against the Kirkland House crew took place. Just before this race, a change in the crew was necessitated by the loss of the two Talbot brothers until after the B & N race. Meyer and Lawrence were drafted from the second crew and Rice hurriedly shifted to stroke. Belmont won by about two feet. Another setback came during the next week when Tarbell, Rice and Williams were lost for our Groton race and three completely inexperienced substitute oarsmen brought up. In spite of this fact, however, the race on the Nashua River was the high spot of the early season, Belmont winning by about a quarter length after a close and exciting race. Both first and second crews raced Browne and Nichols on May 11, and both lost by several lengths on the one mile course over the Charles River. The first crew had no race on May 18, but the second crew, split into two fours, raced the Brooks
3rd and 4th shells at North Andover. The second four, stroked by Clark, lost by about a length, while the first four was defeating their rival by a half length. On May 25th, we raced the powerful and undefeated Tabor eight, again on the Charles River. Tabor gained a slight jump on the start, and pulled out to nearly a length ahead during the middle of the race. Belmont gained some of this back during the sprint at the finish, but Tabor crossed the line twothirds of a length ahead. The time of 5:18 was quite fast for the conditions. On May 31, both first and second crews raced St. Marks in Marlboro. The first crew raced without the services of Talbot, D., with Williams taking his place. In the opening contest of the afternoon, the second crews of the two schools crossed the finish line with the St. Marks eight ahead by about a length, after a close fight from the half-way mark. In the first crew race, St. Marks gained the jump at the start, and on the corner at the halfway point pulled out about a length lead which they maintained until the finish. The time for the course was 5.28. The regular first crew during the season was; bow, Meyer; 2, Butcher; 3, Foote; 4, Tarbell; 5, Greene; 6, T. Talbot (capt.); 7, D. Talbot; stroke, Rice, and Breed, cox. Clark, Holcumbe,Foster, and Lawrence rowed in the Groton race.

Social Events THE SIXTH FORM DANCE will be given on the evening of June fourteenth, with the music of Jim Polk and his orchestra. A committee for this dance is working hard for its success, and is composed of George Tarbell, Arthur Rice, and Robert Campbell. There have been a good many dinners and banquets for the different activities of the school this year. A dinner, followed by theatre entertainment, was presented for the football squad at school last fall. The hockey lettermen had the pleasure of enjoying dinner at the home of Rice following the end of that season, and Talbot entertained the crew at his home on the evening of the last race. The Cum Laude Society held its annual dinner for the initiation of new members in April, and in May the annual meeting of the debating society, preceded by dinner, was held. Over the week-end of Washington's birthday, most of the senior class were entertained on the annual Williams house party in Peterboro, N. H. Skiing, upsetting cars, and other activities filled a most pleasant week-end. On the afternoon of Sunday, May 26, the new Sixth Form common room was dedicated. This very beautiful room, given by Mrs. Underwood in memory of her husband, is located in Underwood House.
Acknowledgements THE YEARBOOK BOARD wishes to extend its thanks to all those who have helped in the work, and especially to the following: to three members of the faculty, Mr. Morse, Mr. Parker Hamilton, and Mr. Wilson, who have advised us and worked with us from the start; to Greene and Wheatland for some of the snap shots which are used; to Mrs. Howe for the use of the picture of her husband; to Miss Sharkey and Miss Rhodes for their help and their patience on the work done in the office; and to all those who have co-operated by working to get advertisements.

Loyalties Compliments of THE SEXTANT
The passing years but strengthen the ties between a fine old school and its graduates. Sons take up the thread of their fathers' loyalties, proud of a mutual tradition and code. So it is with S. S. Pierce's. Today's customers are so often the sons and daughters of yesterday's loyal friends, their satisfaction a proof of their fathers' and mothers' sound judgment.

NEW DEAL LOSES SUPPORTER During one of the President's trips through Georgia it is reported that when he was introduced to a local mayor who was noted principally for the fact that he had a family of seventeen sons and was an ardent Democrat the following conversation took place: "Well," said the President,"I am certainly delighted to meet such a staunch Democrat and loyal supporter of the New Deal. I suppose all your sons are Democrats too." "Well, it's this way," said the local mayor,"Sixteen of them are Democrats all right, but little Jimmie, he took to readin'."
