The BELMONT HILL SCHOOL YEARBOOK
1940
BELMONT
MASSACHUSETTS
FOREWORD the impossibility of concealing our crime any REALIZING longer, the 1940 Yearbook Board wishes to take full responsibility for the publication. Before sentence is passed we would like to say a few words in defense of our work, in view of the enormity of the offence. We have endeavored to present an account of the most important and interesting happenings in the past school year. We have attempted to profit by the experiences of previous Boards, incorporating any of their good points and attempting to correct any of their mistakes that have been shown to us. In addition we have tried to advance some new ideas of our own, in the hope that they will make a better book from all points of view. It is our hope that this book will preserve for the ages the pleasant atmosphere that we have experienced in our stay at the school. Without further ado we now pass this book, our only class publication, on to you for your judgment.

THE SEXTANT production of the school magazine continued this year without inTHE terruption in spite of several irregularities. The regular board of the Sextant consisted of Harold Rooks, editor-in-chief; H. Porter, Dewey, Ellis, S. Brown, editors; Donald, business manager; Gifford and Randall, assistant business managers. For the spring issue, Clark Bennett and Edmund Billings acted as coeditors-in-chief, during the absence of Rooks. In the graduation issue, sixth formers gave over the task of publication to a board of lower formers consisting of Bennett, Billings, Clough, S. Brown, A. Davis, and D. Morse. Gifford and Randall formed the business board. The biographical sketches of the masters were continued this year, and those of Mr. Sawyer, Mr. Moffatt, Mr. Coleman, and Mr. Staples appeared. The sketches of all the masters have been published now and these interesting paragraphs will not be a regular feature henceforth. Among the most notable stories and essays published were Five Years Later, by Wendell Morse; The Belmont Hill Murder Case, anonymous; and The Physiographic Background of the Western Front, by Patrick Staehle and John Weston. The Abandoned Farm, by Robert West was the outstanding poetic contribution. The best editorial was written by Rooks in which he discussed our constitutional prerogative to think, act, and write as we please. The outlook for next year looks promising with the board already trained in their responsibilities. We wish the Sextant the best of success in serving the school for many years to come.
THE CAMERA CLUB Enthusiasm in the Camera Club lagged this year with the result that its membership did not exceed fifteen. The customary exhibition was not held, but the club did produce its excellent school calendars again. Although there were no other general activities, members enjoyed the use of the dark-room, and made many excellent pictures, as they have in the past. We hope that the Camera Club, led this year by the graduating William Byrnes and Richard Pleasants, will continue to exist and provide pleasure for those who have chosen photography as their hobby.
THE STUDENT COUNCIL a successful first year, the Student Council was continued another AFTER year to solve many school problems. It consisted, as last year, of the presidents of the top three forms and one member chosen from each of these forms. This year Ellis, Storer, and Parson, form presidents, and H. Porter, E. Brown, and Tarbell composed the council. Among other things, the council handled with great efficiency the school drive for the Community Fund, and solicited the highest contribution ever made at Belmont Hill. In its handling of this and other problems, the Student Council has proved its value to the school as a whole. May it become a more significant and more powerful instrument in future school life. 4 43 }
DRAMATICS before Christmas vacation the Lower School put on a short play. SHORTLY This play, entitled Padda's Miracle was an entertaining playlet having to do with the conversion of heathen Saxons to the Christian religion. The Lower School, under the direction of Mr. Innis, built and painted all the scenery. Although short and by no means an elaborate production, the play was a success from every standpoint. Much credit is due Mrs. Morse and Mr. Densmore for their excellent coaching of this play. For the big production of the year it was decided that the school should revive the tradition and give an operetta. The Pirates of Penzance was chosen and as early as the first of February, Mr. Moffatt had members of the cast attend rehersals in the chapel. Full attention, however, was not turned to the show until after Washington's birthday when every effort was given in an attempt to put on a good performance. The part of Fredric, the pirate apprentice, was ably taken by Burbank while C. Wilson acted the part of Mable. E. Billings was the Pirate King and W. Dewey, his Lieutenant. J. T. Knowles took the tongue-twisting part of General Stanley, the Major-General; R. Lenk acted the part of Ruth; and C. F. Morse, the part of the Sergeant of Police. The girl chorus was composed of members of the Lower School and a few members of the Second Form; the chorus of Pirates and Police consisted of members of the upper forms. It was decided that there should be only one performance, on March 29, with a dress rehersal on the preceding night. The dress rehersal was unusual in that there were none of the expected first-performance imperfections. However, the dress rehersal promised an even better show for the next night. One of the most applauded scenes of the operetta was that which featured the Policemen's chorus and H. Morse. In both the dress rehersal and the regular performance this small yet efficient-looking policeman drew a laugh from the audience. The performance on the night of March 29 was exceptionally well-acted and the whole production will go down as one of the best the school has ever produced. The effective scenery was done by Mr. Innis, assisted by Pleasants and H. Porter; the lighting, by Butcher and T. Porter. Much credit is due Mr. Sawyer, Mr. Moffat, and Mrs. Morse whose helpful and patient coaching was responsible for the play's success.
ART The Art D,epartment, under the direction of Mr. Togneri, has had a very successful year. A great many boys have taken advantage of the opportunity to try their hand at drawing, painting, and modeling. The results of this enthusiasm have been exhibited from time to time in the dining room, and at the operetta, on March 29, a number of paintings were put up in the Field House. Outstanding contributors to these exhibits were Burbank, Rand, Kent, and Pond. The Sixth Form is especially indebted to Burbank for his cartoons of the members of that form. It is hoped that both interest and participation will increase next year.

FOOTBALL 1939 1939 football season started on September lo, somewhat earlier than THE usual, and with a new coach, Mr. Alexander. He and Mr. Downes deserve much credit for developing a team that fought well even against superior teams. The record for the season was three victories and three defeats. Captain Crocker, Francis, and Wilkinson, in the backfield, were among the many veterans from last year's team. Ellis and Foster on the ends, Tarbell and E. Morse in the tackle positions, Lawrence at guard, and Byrnes at center were the line veterans. Carstensen took over the other guard position. Storer, Allyn, and Saul showed much promise for next year in the backfield. The season opened on September 30 with a game at St. George's in Newport. After St. George's had scored in the first period on a safety, the team pulled itself together and proceeded to push over three touchdowns. One of these was a seventy-yard runback of a pass interception by Wilkinson. The final score was 19-2 for Belmont. On the following Friday, October 6, Roxbury Latin was host to the team. A blocked quick-kick deep in Belmont's territory set up the only score of the game. The team missed the excellent bucking of Francis in this game for he had broken his thumb in the opening game and was unable to play. Roxbury won this game by the narrow margin of 6—o. On the next Saturday, the team went to St. Mark's with great hopes for a victory. Francis was back with his hand done up in a cast, but Lawrence was out of the lineup with a seriously pulled stomach muscle. A superior St. Mark's eleven gave the team its second defeat, 13-0. The Browne and Nichols game on the following Saturday saw many changes in the Belmont lineup. Ellis was moved to tackle and Pleasants took over his end. Tarbell, who had played tackle, was moved into the backfield and Monahan took over Lawrence's guard position. The combined running efforts of Wilkinson, Storer, and Crocker gave Belmont a 33-0 victory. A hard clean game was played with Noble and Greenough on the following Friday, October 27. The second half of this game was played in a light drizzle. The two teams were evenly matched and Noble's scored on two long runs only through the defensive lapses of the team. A drive in the fourth period by Francis, Crocker, and Wilkinson produced Belmont's only score, giving Noble and Greenough a 14-6 victory. For the final game of the season the team journeyed to North Andover to play Brooks. Determined to win, the team took only four plays to score the first touchdown on a lateral from Crocker to Francis. Storer scored on a sixtyfive-yard run also in the first period, and Crocker scored the final touchdown in the second period. The highlights of this game were Wilkinson's running and Carstensen's pass interception. The substitutes gained valuable experience in this game and contributed materially to the 20-0 victory. The running_of Wilkinson and Storer was a great factor in the success of the team. Francis's line-bucking and kicking and Crocker's passing and blocking also deserve much praise. In the line, the offensive and defensive work of Carstensen, E. Morse, and Lawrence was of the highest quality. At a meeting of the lettermen, Richard Foster was elected captain and Tucker was appointed manager for next year. The following were awarded letters: Captain Crocker, Foster, E. W. Morse, Monahan, Byrnes, Carstensen, Ellis, Pleasants, Francis, Tarbell, Wilkinson, Lawrence, Porter, Storer, Saul, Allyn, S. Parson, M. Smart, C. F. Morse, Eckfeldt, and Wheeler, manager. 4 49 1

HOCKEY 1940 year's hockey team got off to an early start for cold weather brought THIS ice in the first week in December. Captain Smart at center, Byrnes at right wing, Porter H. at right defense, Pleasants at left defense, and Monahan in the goal were the veterans of the first team. Butcher took over Bacon's left wing position to round out the first line. Ellis, left wing; Wilkinson, center; and Porter A., right wing, composed the second line, on which Porter was the only newcomer. Before the regular season started the team traveled to Exeter for a practise game, which resulted in a i to I tie. The first scheduled game of the season was played at the Boston Skating Club rink against the Harvard Freshmen. It was an evenly fought game although Belmont showed lack of practise particularly on the offense. Byrnes opened the scoring for Belmont at the end of the first period. However, the team was unable to hold the lead and the Freshmen scored two goals in the second period to win the game 2 to 1. The second Freshmen game was played at Belmont on January 6. Excellent ice conditions made the game exceptionally fast. Belmont was unable to score and after a hard fought game the Freshmen won 2 to o. On the following Wednesday, January ro, Belmont gained a victory over the River's hockey team by a score of 8 to 2. As have been all previous games between Milton and Belmont, the contest on Wednesday, January 17, was hard fought and close. Milton opened the scoring with two goals. Byrnes tallied on a pass out from Butcher near the end of the first period. Belmont took the lead within the first two minutes of the second period on scores by Butcher and Byrnes. Smart scored in the final minute to give Belmont a 4 to 2 victory. On Saturday, January 20, Belmont played Noble and Greenough in one of the season's important games. The game was a clean, hard-fought match throughout. Belmont scored two goals in the first period on shots by Ellis and Wilkinson. Butcher and Pleasants tallied in the second peroid to end the scoring for Belmont. Noble's shot the puck past Monahan early in the third period to avert a shutout. The score at the end of the game was 4 to i for Belmont. Belmont's only defeat of the season in schoolboy competition was registered on Wednesday, January 24, by a hard-skating Andover team at Andover. Andover scored two goals in the first period and one in each of the second and third periods to win this game 4 to o. On the next Friday, Belmont defeated Governor Dummer 8 to 3, and on the following Monday, Roxbury Latin, 5 to 2. The fastest game of the season was played on Wednesday,January 31, against a good St. Mark's team. Pleasants scored in the first period to open the scoring. Byrnes tallied in the second period on a pass from Smart, and Butcher and Pleasants got goals in the third period to defeat St. Mark's 4 to o. The team played what proved to be the last game of the season when they shutout Middlesex, 3 to o, on Saturday, February 3. Henry Porter scored early in the first period assisted by A. Porter. Byrnes scored in the first period also and Smart sank a goal in the second period to give Belmont a victory. The lettermen elected Warren Carstensen captain for the 1941 season; Bennett was appointed manager. The following were awarded letters: Captain Smart, Butcher, Byrnes, Carstensen, Ellis, Monahan, C. F. Morse, Pleasants, A. Porter, H. Porter, Tarbell, West, Wilkinson, and Donald, manager. 53

Crocker, forwards, Francis, center, and Allyn and Ben Smith, guards, formed a veteran starting combination. The lack of practice was evident throughout the whole game, but Belmont put up a good battle, losing by a score of 26 to ii. On the following Thursday, February i, the team played Browne and Nichols School. The one day of practice in between the two games had excellent results for Belmont nosed out the Browne and Nichols team in a well played game, 28 to 26. Crocker led the scoring with a total of 10 points, beating Eckert of the visitors by one point. After the mid-year vacation, a strong squad journeyed to Cambridge for a return game with the Browne and Nichols team. The squad was composed of the five starters of the first game and S. Brown, Captain Monahan, Knowles, Saul, Smart, and Tarbell. Sylvester Brown, a dark horse from the intramural league, turned out to be the star of this game, scoring ten points to put Belmont in the lead in the first two periods. However, he was finally covered and Browne and Nichols drew away to win in the third period 29 to 26 despite the efforts of a fresh second team. The next week, strengthened by the return of Francis, the regular center, a full squad traveled to the wide-open spaces of the Harvard Varsity Court in Cambridge. Here they engaged the crack Harvard Domitory team. Belmont led for three periods because of excellent teamwork and the alternation of two full teams, but Harvard's superior reserves told in the second half of the game. Smart was the high scorer in this game, but even his efforts failed to gain a victory, the final score being 27 to 2.3 for Harvard. After the regular basketball season the second team challenged the first team to a game to decide which was really to be called the first team. This post season thriller between Crocker's A team and Monahan's B team resulted in a narrow victory for the A team. Although the season may seem to be disappointing in many respects, it must be remembered that there was very little time to bring a good team together and that the coaching was necessarily informal. Don Crocker led the list of high scorers. The team deserves praise for the fine spirit it showed throughout the whole season. Much credit is due Mr. Coleman for his untiring efforts in coaching and arranging the games of the season. In accordance with the recent athletic policy of forming intramural teams, the school was divided into six basketball teams this year. Each of the teams was under the leadership of a sixth former and he was responsible for getting his team together for the games. Eckfeldt, Crocker, E. W. Morse, Monahan, Ben Smith, and Francis were the leaders of the teams. After a round-robin series, Francis's and Smith's teams were tied for first place with Crocker's team in third place. This tie necessitated a play-off between the two teams in first place. This game proved to be fast and exicting and Francis's team finally eked out a victory by a mere four points.

Powell, mgr., Mr. Sawyer, Carstensen, Parson, Porter, Hadley, Ellis, Mr. Keller Crocker, Smart, Co-capt. Monahan, Co-capt. Byrnes, Tarbe11, Sargent, Pleasants
BASEBALL many veterans back from last year's team the prospects for this wITH year's team looked bright at the begining of the season. The record of six victories and four defeats at the time when the Yearbook went to press justified the early season optimism. Co-captains Byrnes and Monahan, Ellis, H. Porter, Sargent, Tarbell, Smart, and Crocker were the veterans from last year. The team opened the season with a game at Cambridge with the Harvard freshmen. Belmont played very well against this team losing by only three runs, to to 7. On Wednesday, April 24, Belmont was host to Noble and Greenough. Belmont blew an early game lead of six runs in the eighth inning to lose the game, 15 to 14. This was a very long game, lasting until almost dark, which made it difficult for the players. On the following Saturday, April 27, Belmont played the second home game of the season against St. Mark's. St. Mark's led throughout the whole of the first nine innings, but Belmont pushed across enough runs in the last half of the ninth to win, ii to io. On the next Wednesday, May t, the team journeyed to Groton for the fourth game of the season. Belmont won this contest by seven runs, TI to 4, playing good baseball throughout the game. On Saturday, May 4, Belmont traveled to North Andover to Play the Brooks baseball team. The team won this game behind the fine pitching of Bill Byrnes, who allowed only one hit and struck out 14 men. The final score of the game was 4 to i for Belmont. On the following Monday, May 6, Belmont was host to the Roxbury Latin baseball team. The team entered this game with high hopes for a victory over the Roxbury team. These hopes were rudely shattered as Roxbury won this game by a score of it to 6. On Wednesday, May 8, the Brooks team traveled to Belmont for a return game. Belmont had no trouble in winning this game by thirteen runs, 16 to 3. On the next Saturday, May II, the team went to Governor Dummer to play a good hard-hitting game. Governor Dummer led for most of the game but Belmont came from behind to win ig to 7. On Wednesday, May 15, the team journeyed to Milton to play a strong Milton team, which had already beaten several of its opponents by very large scores. In a disappointing game, from Belmont's viewpoint, Milton gained a victory 13 to 4. Belmont lost this game to a smart hard-playing Milton team which took full advantage of all the breaks in its favor. On Saturday, May 18, Belmont traveled to Newport to play St. George's. Belmont got off to a shaky start allowing six runs to the opposition in the first inning. However, the team rallied and H. Porter allowed only a few scattered hits in the last five innings to win the game, 13 to to in this contest. As in the Governor Dummer game there was very good hitting. As the Yearbook went to press, there were still four scheduled games to be played and one open date. It is hoped that the team will continue its fine playing for a successful season. The pitching of Brynes and H. Porter contributed in no small part to the success of the team. Mr. Keller, assisted by Mr. Sawyer, was again in charge of the coaching. Except for a few infrequent lapses in the quality of playing, the team showed excellent ability throughout the season. The regular lineup was Ellis, catcher; Porter or Byrnes, pitcher; Sargent, first; Tarbell, second; Smart, short; Crocker, third; Parson or Hadley, left field; Monahan, center; and Pleasants, right field. The following were awarded letters: Co-captains Byrnes and Monahan, Ellis, H. Porter, Sargent, Tarbell, Smart, Crocker, Hadley, Pleasants, Parson, Carstensen, and Powell, manager. 59 1
Mr. Dow, Allyn, C. F. Morse, Smith, E. Brown, Butcher, mgr. Burbank,Lawrence, Capt. E. W. Morse, Francis MacLean H. Morse
CREW season practice started this year shortly after the Washington's EARLY birthday vacation, with rowing on the machines in "Cole's Hole." Mr. Dow was again coach this year and was ably assisted by Dave Lawrence. Captain E. W. Morse and H. Lawrence provided an excellent backbone around which to form the crew as both had been members of last year's crew. H. Morse, last year's coxswain, was the only other veteran member of the crew. Burbank at bow and Francis at stroke filled out the first boat. On Saturday, April 27, the first and second crews journeyed to St. Mark's to row a half-mile race. The second crew race was rowed first and was a close race for the first half of the course. However, St. Mark's superior weight told in the second half and their boat went ahead to win by one and one-half lengths. The first crew race was never in doubt, however, Belmont gaining a lead at the start and increasing this lead throughout the course. The first crew rowed this course in the excellent time of two minutes and forty-nine seconds. On the next Saturday both crews traveled to Groton to row the three-quarter mile course on the Nashua River. The second crews again rowed first. The Groton boat, which had beaten the first boat in practice, showed its power by beating the second crew by one and one-half lengths. After one false start the first crews got away, Belmont jumping into the lead. Belmont slowly increased this lead until at the finish it was about three lengths. The first crew showed great power by rowing the course in three minutes and fifty-two seconds, clipping eight seconds off the course record. On Saturday, May II, Belmont rowed its first home race in several seasons against Exeter. A strong head wind blowing directly down the course made this a long and tiring race, and a difficult one to start. The second crews again raced first on a three-quarter mile course starting at the John Weeks' Bridge on the Charles River. The Exeter seconds out-weighed our second crew and showed this advantage by winning easily by some five lengths. E. Brown replaced the sick Francis at stroke for this race. As at Groton there was a false start in this race, Brown's slide becoming jammed soon after the start. After repairs had been made, the crews again started and Belmont pulled away to an early lead which they increased to five lengths by the finish. The last four-oared race was rowed on Saturday, May 18, on the same course as the preceding Saturday against Brooks School. The second crew race, rowed first, proved to be the most exciting race of the year. At no time during the race was there open water between the two boats. Brooks led as they neared the finish, but an excellent sprint gave Belmont a one-foot lead as they crossed the finish line. The first crew continued its fine work by defeating the Brooks first boat by two and one-half lengths. This victory over Brooks gave the first crew an undefeated season in fours. As the yearbook went to press, there was still one race left in an eight-oared shell against St. Mark's at Fort Meadow Pond. The Yearbook hopes that the crew has an undefeated season, the first in many years. The wisdom of changing from the eight-oared shells to the fours was amply proved this year by the splendid record of four victories in four races. This record is due, in no small part, to the excellent coaching of Mr. Dow and the attitude of the crew itself. Captain Wendell Morse is to be congratulated for his excellent leadership. The following were awarded letters: Captain E. W. Morse, Burbank, Lawrence, Francis, H. Morse, Allyn, C. F. Morse, Smith, E. Brown, and Manager Butcher. 4 63
INTRAMURAL HOCKEY YEAR the Intramural Hockey League was taken out of moth balls THIS and found to be in excellent condition, needing surprisingly few repairs. It consisted of the same teams as last year except for the "Forty-Niners" who failed, as Mr. Wilson said, to find any gold. The franchise of this club was taken over by the "Hornets," led by one who was known by the sinister appellation, the "Green Hornet." The season was an excellent one, with good ice and playing conditions up to the very end of the season. One of the greatest improvements was the replacement of the alarm clocks with more accurate stop-watches. Under the old system the alarm was supposed to go off when it was time to change lines, but the clocks were so inaccurate that the alarm might go off immediately upon being set or half an hour later. The system of having a person holding a stop watch was much more accurate. The Mohawks, coached by Mr. Chadwick, proved to be the best team. The Mohawks were not at all impressive at the beginning of the season. but then usually managed to eke out a victory and their playing improved greatly during the year. Their teamwork, which was developed as they played, proved to be the determining cause for their victory. The Hornets, coached by Mr. Sawyer, started the season as a powerful team. The Hornets were a hard-playing and ably led team with a great deal of spirit, but they eould.myt keep up the fast pace they set early in the year. The Knickerbockers, coached by Mr. Jackson, played consistantly good hockey throughout the entire season. This team was just beginning to find itself at the end of the season when it gave the Hornets a 10 to o white-washing. The Indians, coached by Mr. Dow, experienced a poor season. The team played hard and was very ably led, but it lacked the material with which to stage a victorious season. A play-off game was made necessary by a tie between the Hornets and the Mohawks. The Mohawks won a hard fought game by the narrow margin of to o. The Mohawks received the MacPherson Trophy and medals were presented to the individual members of the team. 65 I
INTRAMURAL BASEBALL athletics have played an important part in school activities INTRAMURAL this spring, as they did during the winter term. The school, with the exception of those boys on the first baseball squad and the crew, was divided into four teams. A master led each one of these teams, which were impartially chosen by Mr. Sawyer. Mr. Wilson led one of the teams and he promptly christened his squad the Bullfrogs for the frogs in the lagoon. Mr. Alexander named his team the Bull Moose; Mr. Jenney called his the Wildcats; and Mr. Jackson attached the appelation of Hawks to his team. Games were played once or twice a week, weather permitting. Mr. Wilson was in charge of arranging the schedule of games. As we went to press, eleven games had been played and much enthusiasm was shown in these contests. At that time, Mr. Alexander's and Mr. Wilson's teams were battling each other to stay out of the cellar of the league, and the Hawks and the Wildcats were fighting each other for the leadership. The intramural league not only allows more boys a chance to play baseball, but it is felt that it definitely improves the calibre of first team material in years to come. Any boy in the intramural league who shows enough promise is given his chance on the first team. The Yearbook wishes the best of success to all teams in the league and hopes that this excellent addition to athletics will continue in future years.
