To the Men in the Service

.Ilthough we have attempted to exclude all mention of the war from this yearbook, we, of the Sixth Form, would like to take this opportunity to pay homage to all the men in the zirmed Forces of our country.

The hardships and dangers which they have

undergone have made it possible for us to complete our last years here at Belmont Hill.

In the years to come we will be increasingly glad that show our appreciation for all he has donefor us, by to chose we dedicating this yearbook to Mr. Maxwell. He has won our warmest friendship and respect. His companionship and guidance in the classroom and on the athletic field have deeply enriched our years here at Belmont Hill. We will always remember the countless evenings he has worked with us in his study and the innumerable hours he has spent with us in spraying the rinks and assisting us in all our activities. For these things and many others we owe him more than we can ever express in words.

DEDIC

To the Class of 1915: Time: September, 1913 Place: Belmont Hill School gymnasium Event: Pre-season football practice and my introduction to the boys, who were then mostly fifth formers, but who one year laterformed the team that will go down in Belmont Hill School history as one of itsfinest. Thefirst boy to introduce himself that day was a member of your class, and I shall always remember his straight-forward, resolute, and sincere manner. He was, and is, characteristic of your whole class.

To me, this spirit is the essence of a good school, as well as of a good class.

It pervades the whole student body, and when attained there is no doubt as to the success of things athletic, scholastic, and spiritual.

In two years you have given to Belmont Hill what many schools work years to attain. I refer to the accomplishments of your elected Student Council. You have made the first step from external authority to the internal authority of guiding one's own conduct and shaping one's destiny. This is the end toward which every good school works and you have made a grand beginning.

My associations with you on the football field, hockey rink, and baseball diamond have been an inspiration that will remain with mefor years to come. You have been the integral part of every team, and the loss of so many key men will be difficult to surmount. Let us hope that the spirit shown by you will carry on and inspirefuture classes.

I know that I speak for the faculty when I say that Belmont Hill will always welcome you as alumni, and it will always salute you for your accomplishments. Furthermore, your mathematics teacher and coach will be at the head of the batting order on that welcoming committee.

Headm

Dear Graduates:— I am glad that you asked me to write a few words for your yearbook because it gives me the opportunity to express to you my appreciation of the fine spirit of co-operation with which you have gone about your work and play at Belmont Hill.

It has been a full year, hasn't it, and not always an easy one. Perhaps your Headmaster sometimes asked more of you than was quite fair, but I can truthfully say I seldom found you wanting and your record sets a mark for succeeding Sixth Forms to shoot at. You have accomplished much of which you can be justly proud. Your athletic teams have made splendid records and we never had cause to complain of your sportsmanship—which is certainly more important than the victories you chalked up. Your publications and glee club were most successful, and this yearbook, which you leave as a testament to your last year as undergraduates, speaks eloquently of the kind of spirit and morale that has animated all your efforts. Your leadership as a Form and in the Student Council, if sometimes faltering, was always the.e in the pinches. Your devotion to Belmont Hill and what it stands for could never be questioned.

As you leave us I hope you will take with you as a foundation stone of all your thinking one ideal which is engraved on the Chapel wall, -Working together is the principle idea.- Can any of you ever forget what this accomplished on that rainy fall afternoon at Groton? Without it, this past year would not be filled with the bright memories of so many successes and so much happiness, for it was only through your willingness to assume the management of numerous activities of our school life that we were able to do so much. I am confident that if you have made this principle your own, Belmont Hill will have given you the most valuable treasure it has to give.

I can only add, Good Luck to all of you. Remember you are Belmont Hill boys and we are counting on you. God bless you.

Sincerely,

aster

THE SIXTH

FORM HISTORY With this history of our Form we hope to keep vividly alive all the fond recollections of our many years spent at Belmont Hill.

The history of our Form officially began in the year 1936 when Dick Jones entered the Lower School ultimately to become the lone member of that original Class A that still remains. From all that Dick tells us about that first year we gather that it was a slightly unhappy one, for him, at least. His only clear memories are of the "big" boys in Class D who used constantly to bully him.

Jay Angevine, Teddy Read, and John Hurd joined "poor little Dick" the following year. It was in Class B that the famous triumvirate of Angevine, Harry, and Hurd gained exclusive control of the honor list week in and week out. Art classes were transferred from the cellar of the cottage, which is now Mr. Densmore's house, to the art room in the new Speare House building. That was the year that the "mysterious plague" of measles and chickenpox occurred just before the operetta. These "old timers" also remember the fire in the swamp that according to the newspaper reports nearly destroyed the Field House. • The next year Bob Bacon joined the Form which was now Class C. Johnny Marno and Dick Swan both entered from a different class and made prominent additions to the class. Upon our arrival in the fall of that year we were thrilled by the devastation caused by the hurricane. The overturned Morse garage was the most exciting sight that met our eyes. The pleasant outdoor classes, the play squad, the trips through factories and the numerous fads of yoyos, peashooters, and marbles also are to be remembered from that year.

In 1939 Benny Crouch, Johnny Fraser, Ken MacLean, and Hermann Rudenberg came to Class D. This was the year that Mr. Densmore assumed the direction of the Lower School and it must be admitted that we weren't exactly as co-operative with him as could be expected. These eleven boys who survived those Lower School days still remember the struggles between the Reds and the Blues, the hilarious science classes with "Spike" Downes, the splendid girl chorus they made in the school play, the fearsome mathematics classes with old "Bull" Alexander, Johnny Marno's masterful portrayal of Padda, the seal, in the Christmas play that year, the fun we used to have in Mr. Sawyer's first period Latin class, and many other little incidents such as the breaking of the "T" square by Mr. Moffatt on Parker Thomas's unfortunate posterior.

The transition to the Upper School was an important and thrilling one to the class. The majority took full advantage of the new freedom. The addition of Jack Blodgett that year brought another leader to the Form. Memories of French classes with "Yogee" Staples and the barrage of erasers directed at the less resourceful members of Mr. Alexander's math class were formed in our young minds. The fear of "coffinization" dominated many of our actions that year. Many of us were unfortunate enough to fall victim to a fast sales talk by a representative of a musical instrument concern who, under the pretense of arousing interest in a school band, made a small fortune for himself.. Needless to say this musical enthusiasm was short lived. That year, also, meals were no longer served in luxury, for we boys were forced to wait on tables. That spring several members of the faculty were seen one Sunday afternoon peering out from behind trees and "shooting" at each other. It took several weeks for these masters to convince the school that they were not in their second childhood but simply taking part in State Guard maneuvers. We also vividly remember how old "Buck" Jenney could place baseballs almost in the lagoon from the cage field whenever the Wildcats needed an extra run or two.

Woody Allen and Bob French joined the class in the Third Form year. We remember that year especially well because it was not only the year that the United

States entered the war, but it was also the last year of the old regime here at School.

The strained war nerves resulted in the inclusion of a tremendous number of civilian defense activities at school, most of which were of dubious value. A bombing scare, a week or so after Pearl Harbor, failed to impress us particularly; in fact we rather enjoyed the day we got off as a result of it. Mr. Boecklin joined the faculty that year, and many of us can remember how he sat silent for over ten minutes in his first French class trying to decide where to begin. As the years roll on, it becomes increasingly obvious that Mr. Boecklin's fund of information is so inexhaustible that there are neither beginnings nor endings. Mr. Miller, who had suffered a spinal injury during the summer, was forced to conduct his general science classes in the Infirmary for the major part of that year.

For the second year in succession the faculty could be seen "playing cops and robbers" but this time members of the student body were allowed to participate.

Mr. Morse left School that spring to enter the Navy and Mr. Wilson assumed of Headmaster. The next year was to bring a large turnover both in the faculty duties the and in the student body.

Our ranks were swelled in 1942 when Dow Emerson, Bob Cameron, Bill Gelotte, Jim Fulton and John Simmons entered Form IV. Mr. Hamilton became our Headmaster that year. With him came Mr. Gregg, Mr. Funk and Mr. Whittier. We were saddened by the loss of one of the members of the original faculty in 1923, Mr. Wilson, as well as Mr. Jackson, Mr. Willey, Mr. Jenney and Mr. Downes.

Many of us never understood what Mr. Keller did with the money we gave him when we were negligent in our French preparation. On the days after an especially poor class recitation, however, he always seemed well supplied with Corona-Corona's. Mr. Turnbull's English classes and "Alex's" Aeronautics were also parts of our schooling.

Jack Blodgett was elected Form president that year. The efforts of one of our members to cast his vote more than once were seriously frowned upon by Mr. Miller.

Our athletic prowess began to come to light that year as many of us won our letters in various sports. The Fifth Form room provided a place for us to cool off after lunch, but relaxation here was out of the question as Dow soon noticed. The Rifle Club was inaugurated that year as was the calisthenics drill. Loud cheers inevitably greeted Mr. Whittier when he rose to the occasion of flexing his muscles. Public Speaking was another innovation. We were inclined to doubt its worth, however, when we, for three weeks straight, listened to Dick tell of his trip to Maine during the previous summer.

Mr. Keller's accounts of the Olympic Games were ended, much to our amazement, with a reversal of the international decision as to who was victor. We were also introduced to the obstacle course which had been built. Not accustomed to the peculiarities of such a course, many of us made mistakes of crawling under the hurdle or going around the barrels.

Mr. Croke appeared that spring to conduct the intramural baseball program.

Though his team was usually ahead, he continued to voice his dissatisfaction on the distribution of the players. Girls, we remember, took over Speare House during the graduation dance and some couples arrived in horse drawn vehicles because of the "pleasure ban" at that time.

Our Fifth Form year saw us all become "big" boys. Boyd Higgins, Phil Farrington, George Roorbach, and Haskell Casey were the new boys that year. Jim Fulton was president. He and Jack Blodgett were our representatives on the newly formed Student Council. The "old" members were saddened by the loss of Mr. Alexander and Mr. Miller. The arrival of Mr. Maxwell, Mr. Harris, Mr. Mallett, Mr. Forbes and Mr. Harling, however, made up for this loss. The most serious thing that happened to us that year was seen on the table after the loss of Frank the cook. Mr. Croke began his career as football coach and "Robbie" continued to show us how to use the blades. Mr. Keller missed most of the baseball season when illness overtook him but the diamond was watched over by Mr. Maxwell. Memories of Mr. Forbes' Friday morning per,

formances, Frank Miller's story on his capture of "the Borer," Mr.Harris's mind-reading act without snakes, and the noise of the early morning bird walks, are still very much alive.

"Bake" and Jay continually amazed us with their soap box speeches and their knowledge of the Russian language. "Swanie" left us that year to go into the Maritime Service. He sent greetings via a letter, to "Mr. Maxwell, Mr. Mallett, and all the other employees of the School." Ken MacLean also left to go into the Air Corps. Gone were the days of the Mohawks, Indians, Greenhornets and Knickerbockers, when a new all inclusive intramural program was introduced. We still wonder how the teams are chosen, and why Mr. Harris is always able to find the other team's substitutes, but never his own. Volley ball was one of the new games instituted under the revised program. This sport proved too much for the faculty, as they were defeated by the "allstars" in a post season contest. A last memory of that Fifth Form year is the fact that "Emmie" had the highest batting average. We conclude that his hits are necessary to allow him time to jog to first base.

In our Sixth Form year, "Stretch" Rogers, Hugh Smith, Roger Curtis, and Tom Kauffman joined our numbers. Mr. Harling left school in the spring of 1944, and Mr. Richards and Mr. Johnson joined the faculty in the fall.

Jack Blodgett was our president. He, Dow Emerson, Johnny Marno and Phil Farrington headed the Student Council, and many of us tried our hand at ruling over the vast majority of lower formers. Jim Fulton and John Fraser took over Phil's and Johnny's duties upon their early graduation. Soon we began to realize the responsibilities we had to carry in this, our senior year. Setting an example, doing our English and Physics assignments, publishing the Yearbook and Sextant, and arrangi•ng and decorating for dances were some of the problems we had to face. Other difficulties, present only among the boarders, were those of finding a fool-proof blackout system and an efficient means of getting to breakfast on time, after having awakened three minutes before.

Six of us attended the Summer Session this year. From what the rest of us have heard from Johnny, Phil, Case, Bake or Roge, we conclude that none of our stories about the "good old days" can top their campaigns against assignments, exhaustion, and bugs. Simmie was the sixth partner in that .summer corporation, but the Navy, somehow, soon became more appealing to him. Bake left us in November of this year to go into the Air Corps. His passion for explosives would have been satisfied by"Stretch's" "booby" traps which caused a few amazing incidents in the dormitory.

Some of the new innovations this year were the arrival of the red bus, the students' library committee, the prevalence of bird walks on which we were not apt to be seen, and the exclusion of masters from intramural competition. Birthday greetings by us, at lunch, were always rendered on the flat side. Hurd continued to teach us and our teacher in science classes. Mr. Maxwell's classes were usually delayed by the arrival of latecomers from the "hell hole."

Our athletics were very successful this year and were marked by the first football victory over Groton. Mr. Croke's calisthenics before football practice were so thorough that he was not allowed to display his talents further in the spring. The hockey season brought a clean sweep over Groton and St. Marks. Basketball again became a major sport aided by interests from Indianapolis and Waterville. "Stretch," however, made us all basketball conscious with reports of the unbeaten team from his home town. Mr. Keller was able to coach baseball this year, and he really made some of us work. The crew after taking over the Charles River for their water highway forgot how to apply the rules of the road when they paddled "downtown." Games with the faculty were always postponed by the latter, leading us to conclude that Mr. Croke had got us too well in shape last fall to suit them.

We finally got our sheepskin in hand and danced merrily that night. Some of us even were awarded "Cum Lousies," but all of us were more than sad to have to leave Belmont Hill where many glorious years of our life had been spent.

Summer Session, 1944 Last summer five students plugged through a half year's work in nine weeks to complete the second successive year of the School's summer session program. There is much that could be said about many aspects of that term; much that will be forgotten by some, but never by those six assignment-griping students: Haskell Casey, Roger Curtis, Phil Farrington, Bob Bacon, John Marno, and last but not least, Harry Wadsworth. Yes, there was a lot of work to be done, darn hard work tooâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;and it was done. However, for those who took the summer session there will always remain memories other than those of studies: "Flit," tag in the rain, 10:00 P.M. frappes, H. W.'s mainstays atop the flag pole, Sunday nights in the Sixth Form room with only five more days and four more nights until another weekend, 85 degrees Farenheit, "You hammerhead," mosquitoes, and a '37 Ford. Nor will we forget Mr. Maxwell's ceaseless efforts both in class and at his house in the evening; Mr. Hamilton's "short" English assignments; Mr. Mallett's "one hard history volume in nine short weeks;" Mr. Whittier's "snap" German course; and that fourth year French course Mr. Funk made Harry spend so much time on each weekend. No boy could ever owe a school more and in this yearbook we wish to express what little thanks writing permits for what the summer session has done for us.

Our Classmates in the Service

Kenneth Lee MacLean, Jr.

Richard Hyde Swan "Szvannie" "Dick"

John Bemis Simmons "Simmy"

Mac left School in the fall of 1943 to enter the United States Army Air Corps.

His untimely departure brought the sudden realization that in a short time we too, would be called upon to serve our country.

Athletically he is to be rememb9red as the form's first letterman, for as a Second Former he won a letter in crew. In addition to being a letterman in crew in '41 and '42, he participated in dramatics in '40 and joined the Glee Club in '43.

He has been taking his Basic Flight Training at Waco, Texas, and was due to receive his commission in May. We all miss Ken and wish him the best of luck in years to come.

Swannie's departure in January, 1944, to enter the U. S. Maritime Service deprived the form of one of its charter members and a great deal of its color.

Dick entered Belmont Hill in 1936. He earned letters in crew '43, football '44, took part in dramatics in '40, and was a member of the Rifle Club in '43.

Dick trained at the Maritime Academy at Hyannis and now is preparing to â&#x20AC;˘ receive his commission on June 8 aboard a training ship.

Swannie had been so much an integral part of our Form for so long that his absence has been keenly felt this year. The Yearbook misses his shrewd business brain and the whole form his inimitable and entertaining personality.

Simmy joined the United States Navy last July and entered the Quartermaster Corps just before school opened this fall, after having attended the summer session.

He joined the Form in 1942, and soon proved to be a valuable addition. Simmy was not a natural athlete, but he worked hard on both the football team and the crew and finally was rewarded with a crew letter in '44.

Recently he has been in Boston preparing for service aboard a P.T. boat as Quartermaster. We shall remember him for his amusing antics and his remarkable and ever-present talent for producing laughter. Good luck, Simmy! We know you will be welcome no matter where you go.

Student Council After a substantial beginning last year, the Student Council made great progress toward obtaining an effective student government. Jack Blodgett, Dow Emerson, John Marno, and Phil Farrington represented the Sixth Form; Al Locatelli and Stan Mack the Fifth; Bob Gelotte, the Fourth. John Fraser and Jim Fulton were elected after midyears to replace Marno and Farrington who graduated at that time.

Under the leadership of Jack Blodgett, the Council took over the management of study halls, the taking of attendance in chapel, and the supervision and serving of crackers.and milk. They also improved the attitude of certain unco-operative boys by talking to them. This policy has proved more successful in some cases than disciplinary action by the masters.

The Council also suggested several ideas toward the improvement of the daily routine.

A library committee was originated for the purpose of reclassifying all school overseeing the library thfough a system of monitors. These monitors have the books and been conducting library periods and supervising the withdrawal and return of books.

The Student Council also suggested a meeting with the Sixth Form which proved of great value. Following this, separate committees of four Sixth Formers met with members of the lower forms to ascertain their views and ideas for improving the School.

In taking these steps the Council has furthered the ultimate aim to increase the authority of the students themselves and to make the students feel they have a share in the running of the School. This plan will eventually call for complete disciplinary control by the students instead of the faculty. It is hoped that, with increased co-operation, the Council will in future years become a more prominent link between faculty and student body, thereby greatly raising the tone and morale of the School.

The Sextant This year's Sextant board continued the policy of revision begun last year and as a result several important improvements in the magazine were effected. The cover was enlivened by changes in the colors and design, the athletic write-ups were made less formal, the introduction of cartoons by Eph Martin and Bob Bacon added life to the literary pages, once again an entire section was devoted to the Lower School, and the modern two-column page aroused favorable comment from many quarters. The continuation of the Faculty biographies with sketches of Messrs. Densmore, Boecklin and Turnbull, and the enlargement of the School notes also marked the year's wcrk.

The membership of the editorial board was also enlarged. Editor-in-chief John Fraser had capable editors in Bob Bacon, Boyd Higgins, John Hurd, and Hugh Clarke, as well as Dick Cameron and Phil Cardeiro, who were elected before the Spring issue in preparation for next year. This expansion in the magazine, moreover, was made possible through the untiring efforts of business managers Jack Blodgett and Jim Tillotson in the financial department.

The excellence of the material submitted to the board this year enhanced the quality of the literary section. The Sextant did not find itself dependent upon the Sixth Form, since compositions by the lower formers were numerous in this year's issues.

Moreover, the increase in the number of stories written in the lighter vein helped to balance the more serious articles.

A new board has taken over the work on the graduation issue and with sincere confidence in their capabilities we extend our best wishes to them for another successful year of publication.

Glee Club The Glee Club this year was again under the very able leadership of Mr. Forbes.

Jack Blodgett was elected President of the Club and John Hurd, Secretary. The club began its semi-weekly rehearsals early in the fall. With the prospect of a joint Christmas Concert with Buckingham, the number of rehearsals was raised to three a week.

The concert, which was held on December 14, began with a group of carols sung jointly.

Our Glee Club then sang "Ye Watchers and Ye Holy Ones" and "In Dulci Jubilo."

The concert was completed by the joint singing of "Gloria, In Excelsis Deo." A dance after the performance and several piano solos by a few of our club members completed a very pleasant evening.

When the Glee Club was invited by Mr. G. Wallace Woodworth to join the Harvard Glee Club Concert of January 21, a Netherlands folk tune, the "Prayer of Thanksgiving," was sung jointly by the two clubs.

Although the bass section was weakened by the January graduation of Haskell Casey, John Marno, and Phil Farrington, the addition of several new members compensated for this loss.

Another joint concert, followed by refreshments, was held with the Brimmer and Our Glee Club sang a group of three negro spirituals. "The Heavens are School.

May Telling," by Haydn, and several choruses from "Oklahoma" were sung by both groups.

This concert completed a very full and enjoyable season. It marked the rising interest in Glee Club activities which has taken root in the last few years and which, we hope, will become a permanent part of the school.

Rifle Club The Rifle Club's forty-one members again convened under Mr. Boecklin's direction in the fall and elected Phil Farrington, president; Eph Martin, secretary; and Teddy Read, treasurer. The Club was again affiliated with the National Rifle Association.

In the middle of December the best marksmen in the Club began shooting for the first of several monthly matches. The team, made up of Phil Farrington, Jay Angevine, Teddy Read, Hermann Rudenberg, Pete Simonds, and Sam Caldwell, competed against about 300 schools and military academies throughout the United States. The experience gained by this competition was invaluable and enabled the Club to compare their talents with the high standards of marksmanship set by other American schools.

As the Club's activities were curtailed by the numerous other School activities, shooting was limited to those trying for the National Rifle Association awards. Phil Farrington and Eph Martin left the Club at midyears. However, Phil had shot all the required targets of the interscholastic matches.

As in the past, the Club had an intramural club league competition during the month of March. "The lead is still flying," remarked Mr. Boecklin when asked about this and other Club events.

Nature Club The Nature Club, which Mr. Harris had been running on an informal basis, was officially organized in January as thirty "nature lovers" responded to "the call of the wild." Mickey Hamilton was elected President and Bob Andrews, Vice President.

The varied interests of the club members are centered around a desire to see as many birds as are present among the winged species. On early morning bird walks and all day field trips the boys have fulfilled this desire. All birds seen on Belmont Hill are represented by means of cards placed on the bulletin board in the dining hall.

Ninety-seven birds were seen on Belmont Hill in 1944. New birds have been attracted by the feeding station. Rare birds, such as the Larred owl, the long-eared owl, the saw-whet owl, and the shrike, have also been discovered this year.

A journey to Rockport, in co-ordination with the Massachusetts Audubon Society field trip, was enjoyed by those members most interested in birds. The first official School trip was made to Plum Island, Newburyport, on March 4th. The Audubon Society guides proved to be a valuakle aid to the bird fanciers. The expedition, which covered all of ten miles, proved exhausting to many as was made evident by the numerous absentees on the following morning.

Birds do not constitute the only interest in wild life. There is also the shrew and the star-nosed mole; and, of course, mice and squirrels have been removed from their lairs. Insects, reptiles, and amphibians have been collected too, and taxidermy practiced on some. Mr. Harris and the Nature Club also have poisonous snakes, three rattlers and two copperheads, which have been displayed in lectures and at the Sportsman's Show in Boston.

The members congregate in the museum to carry on their activities. For this purpose nature magazines, a complete borrowing library, and a comfortable chair have been placed at their disposal.

Dramatic Club This year, for the first time in four years, a play was produced by the Upper School. The play,"A Slight Case of Murder, was a highly successful comedy enjoyed by all who attended on April 28.

Contrary to past procedure the cast this year included girls who added a great deal to the excellence of the play. We are greatly indebted to Kathryn Pauley, Lydia Hurd, and Greta Backer who gave up so much of their time to make the play a success.

Kent Fuller added much to the quality of the production by his fine interpretation of Remy Marko, the blustering ex-gangster. Al Polidura was excellent as the Italian cook, and his accent was enjoyed by all. George Roorbach was the comedian in the role of Mike, the ex-henchman who turned butler. Dick Cameron and Rickey Conant were notable as Lefty and Chance respectively.

Mr. Funk, the director, deserves much credit for the fine production, as it was due to his tireless effort with the actors and stage crew that the play was so great a success.

The cast consisted of Kathryn Pauley, Lydia Hurd, Kent Fuller, George Roorbach, John Hurd, Richard Cameron, Richard Conant, and Daniel Bickford in the leading roles, and supporting actors Greta Backer, Hayden Coon, Alfonso Polidura, William Moore, Stephen Boireau, Paul Kaufman, Robert Stetson, James Welch, Sandy Ferguson, and Robert Andrews.

Art The Art Department under the able supervision of Mr. Togneri has again had a successful year. Although suffering the loss of last year's foremost artists, Robert Bacon and Ephraim Martin, its work has, however, remained of high caliber, as much new talent has been discovered. Alfonso Polidura has contributed gay paintings marked with a Mexican influence. Bill Megowen has shown talent in oils, while Ben Wheaton has become noted for his cartoons. Aussie Wood is fast becoming a proficient modeler.

Eph Martin finished some skillful pen and ink character studies before his departure.

The Lower School is well represented by Malcolm Daley, Steve Curtis, Andy Sears, Teddy Greene, and Truman Casner.

John Hurd has been assisting Mr. Togneri in making a topographical map of the school. On its completion a model showing the present and future buildings will be constructed.

Early in May, the annual Field Day Exhibition was held. The variety of the mediums and the volume of the work that marked this display were greatly enjoyed by parents and boys and gave evidence of Mr. Togneri's ability to make creative art a vital interest in the lives of so many boys here at school.

Public Speaking In Public Speaking this year the usual system of fifth and sixth form classes was abandoned in favor of formal debates. Debating has been noticeably absent from the school scene for several years and the resumption of this activity has fos'tered an increasing interest in social and political affairs. The first debate, which was held in the gym before the entire school, concerned the question of whether the United States should actively participate in the supervision of liberated countries. The speakers for the affirmative, directed by Mr. Turnbull, were Hugh Clarke, John Hurd, and Jay Angevine.

Boyd Higgins was the rebuttalist. Mr. Hamilton coached the team defending the negative which was comprised of Kent Fuller, Hermann Rudenberg, John Fraser, and Gerald Doherty. The affirmative side was declared the victor. In view of the recent controversy in Greece, theâ&#x20AC;˘arguments presented by both sides were extremely interesting.

Chapel speeches by each member of the Sixth Form also formed a part of the program. Public speaking is an essential part of every boy's education in that it gives him a sense of self-confidence which he will need in later life. Much credit is due to Mr. Turnbull for his constructive criticism.

LOWER SCHOOL Dramatics On December 13th the Lower School, under the expert direction of Mr. Funk, presented Franz Schubert's opera "Fernando," a Singspiel in one act. The production proved a great success and brought to life some fine operatic talent.

The event marked the first performance of the English version of the opera in this country.

Athletics The football team took Browne and Nichols twice, with scores of 19-0 and 26-7, and lost two games to Fenn School, 12-0 and 6-0. The team consisted of quarterback Teddy Greene, halfbacks Pete Coffin and Jimmy Gill, Teddy Tillotson at center, and Bert Eaton and Joe Shea in the end positions. The team was managed by Tommy Burnside. . A second team and midget squad drawn from Class B also had an exciting season.

Excessive snow prevented a full hockey season this winter, but two games were played. Browne and Nichols was swamped 7-0 and Fenn School was defeated 4-3 in a close game which necessitated an overtime period. Later a ski meet was held at the Arlmont Country Club with Browne and Nichols.

In the opening game of the basketball season Browne and Nichols was defeated 36-6. All indications point to a successful season, for the Lower School possesses much excellent team material.

Other Activities Again this year, the Lower School has been turning out wonderful work for the American Junior Red Cross. The manual training group made weaving frames, games, and puzzles as aids in the rehabilitation of wounded soldiers.

Mr. Harris introduced a program of bird study, and as a result every boy became a member of the Junior Audubon Society. This opens a wide and interesting field and is a great addition to the School's activities.

Coach William E. Croke

Varsity Football This year's football team smashed out an impressive record of six victories and one loss. We were scored upon in only one game. This record may be attributed to the expert coaching of Mr. Croke and Mr. Maxwell, to the leadership of Capt. Dick Jones, and to the splendid spirit of teamwork and determination which prevailed among the members of the squad. This year marked the first time that a Belmont Hill football team has beaten Groton.

The opening game was with Cambridge School at Weston on September 30.

The starting line-up was as follows: Rogers and Higgins at the ends, Fulton and Emerson as tackles, Farrington and Fraser at the guard position, Marno at center, and a backfield of Cameron, quarterback; McCarthy and Bob Gelotte, halfbacks; and Bill Gelotte in the fullback position. Capt. Jones, who played guard ordinarily, and halfback Locatelli were unable to play because of injuries. Belmont was not in trouble at any time, and steamrollered its way to a 33 to 0 victory.

On the next week the team tackled Rivers here at Belmont and subdued the opposition 12 to O. Smart supplanted Rogers at an end position. Belmont was again not in trouble defensively, but the strength of the Rivers defense kept our score down.

McCarthy and Bill Gelotte scored a touchdown apiece. Capt. Dick Jones was able to return to action in this game.

October 14 marked the defeat of a strong St. Mark's team in their own home territory. Belmont scored in the first quarter with a left tackle plunge by halfback Bob Gelotte. However, a stonewall opposition and penalties prevented Belmont from ever reaching the other eleven's goal line again, and the game ended 7 to 0, the conversion being made by Bob's brother Bill. This game marked our second defeat of St. Mark's on the gridiron. Roger Curtis made his first appearance in this game as an end.

The next game was with Groton. Belmont came through to win with a score of 13-0. Groton was the favorite, but the Belmont warriors were determined to win.

They gave everything they had, and in the process revealed that they were the strongest team in the history of the school. A triple pass from Bill Gelotte to Higgins to Bob Gelotte enabled Bob to run 44 yards to score. Jim Fulton sped 81 yards on an intercepted pass for the other touchdown. The game was played at Groton.

Browne and Nichols next approached the Belmont Hill lion and was gobbled up 25 to 0. Touchdowns were made by McCarthy, Locatelli, and Roger Curtis. Belmont played a hard, fast, and clever game.

The bad news came when Belmont Hill journeyed to Middlesex. We were defeated 16 to 6 by a powerful Middlesex adversary. Bob Cameron scored in the second quarter, but the Middlesex team, undaunted, scored before the end of the half and converted. The third quarter was a deadlock, but in the fourth quarter the opposition gained a decisive lead with a score and a safety. Both teams were powerful, but the Middlesex eleven outplayed our forward line and fielded a superior offensive.

The final game was with Brooks, here at Belmont. We smashed through for a 19 to 0 victory, thus proving that our morale had not been broken by our loss at Middlesex. Touchdowns were made by Bob and Bill Gelotte and by Bob Cameron. Brooks nearly scored in the last part of the game, but Belmont threw the enemy back.

Jack McCarthy was elected next year's captain, and Robert Andrews next year's manager. The following were awarded letters: Capt. Jones, Capt.-elect McCarthy, Cameron, Curtis, Emerson, Farrington, Fraser, Fulton, Bill Gelotte, Bob Gelotte, Higgins, Locatelli, Marno, Roorbach, Smart, and â&#x20AC;˘ Manager Jack Blodgett. We are all proud of this year's team, and are grateful to them for the standard of courage and co-operation which they have set for the School in the years to come.

The Forties Squad The opening game of the season was with Belmont Junior High on October 9 here at School. The starting line was i.e., Cardeiro; I.t., Alcaide; I.g., Kittredge; c., Kingman; r.g., Davis; r.t., Powers; r.e., Vaccaro; Wykoff, Dalbeck, Harvey, and Beede filled out the backfield. The two teams were fairly even in strength, and there was no score for the first three quarters. However, in the final quarter Junior High proved it had a slight edge and the final score was 620 in their favor.

On October 13, the squad traveled to Dedham to meet Noble and Greenough's second team. We were outweighed twenty pounds apiece by the opposition, but managed to put up a plucky resistante. The final score was 27-6 in Noble's favor. Jimmy Harvey made Belmont's lone tally.

October 25 marked the beginning of the team's success. St. Sebastian journeyed to Belmont, and after a tough, swaying battle, the home team managed to come out on top 6-0. Mike Foster made the score.

On November 2, Belmont chalked up its second win by defeating a Rivers eleven on the home field. Our squad showed its power early in the game as Harvey and Wykoff each scored in the second quarter. Foster ran eighty-four yards in the third, to set up a tally by Jim Harvey. A last minute Rivers rally ended the game 20-7.

The final game was played with Middlesex at Concord on November 8. Both teams tallied in the first half, but Middlesex failed to convert. The second half was a deadlock, and the game ended 7-6 in the Hilltoppers' favor. Harvey made Belmont's only score.

Beside the skillful guidance of Messrs. Keller and Whittier, the work of Jimmy Harvey deserves special praise. Foster, Wykoff, and Powers also played outstanding football.

The Thirties Squad The first Thirties Squad game was played at Newton with Fessenden School on Thursday, October 19. The starting line was as follows: 1.e., Harvey; 1.t., Moore; 1.g., Avery; c., Casner; r.g., Wiswell; r.t., Wallingford; r.e., Blodgett. Stedfast took over at center on the kickoffs, and Daley, Dunphy, Goss, and Ferguson provided the backfield talent. Fessenden made its initial touchdown early in the first quarter and followed it by another in the second. During the last half, the aggressors added two more tallies to their total against the Hilltoppers, and although a late game rush carried Belmont to the two-yard stripe, the team was unable to net a touchdown. At the end of the game the score stood at 26-0 in favor of Fessenden.

On Wednesday, October 25, the squad played an entirely different type of game with Roxbury Latin. It was marked by the most rapid scoring, kicking, fumbling, and intercepting of passes of any game played by the School this year. Willmann at halfback scored five touchdowns, while Daley, Quinn, and Goss scored one apiece. The final score showed Belmont to be the victor, 63-0.

The following Wednesday brought Belmont to Rivers School in Brookline.

Belmont definitely established its superiority by two touchdowns in the second quarter.

The squad scored twice in the third and once in the fourth quarter to make the score 34-0 at the close of the game. Especially noteworthy were Dunphy's running and Stedfast's kicking.

The final game of the season was played on Wednesday, November 8 at Belmont against a decidedly heavier and more experienced Middlesex team. The visitors managed to score once in the second quarter but determined resistance kept the total down and Middlesex was unable to net any further tallies in subsequent periods.

The team played its best game of the year even though it could not manage a win. The game ended with the visitors holding a 7-0 lead over the Hilltoppers.

Captain John Marno

Coach Hugh Robertson

Varsity Hockey Forty-six hopefuls, the largest squad ever to appear for hockey, reported to Coaches Robertson and Maxwell for pre-season practice. However, when the season opened, the squad had been thinned to sixteen. Captain John Marno centered the first line supported by Bill and Bob Gelotte on the wings. Jim Fulton and Jack McCarthy started at defense and Dow Emerson held down the goal. Jim Harvey, Jack Blodgett, and Wyman Smart made up the second line. This combination rolled up an impressive record of thirteen wins and two losses while scoring fifty-eight goals, to its opponents twenty-three.

Belmont Hill opened the season with a practice game and downed the Harvard Informals 1-0. The team's first real test came in the Boston Skating Club conference after an earlier cancellation of a game with Belmont High. In the first contest Belmont defeated last year's co-champ, Middlesex, 4-2, to avenge the 1943 tie. Captain Marno scored twice. Jack Blodgett and Bill Gelotte completed the scoring. Vermont Academy offered little opposition in the next round, bowing 8-2 as Captain Marno scored four times.

The Blue and Red six captured the title in the following contest by swamping Governor Dummer 6-2. Bill Gelotte and Marno each scored twice.

Thayer Academy was next beaten 4-0 in the first game on Belmont ice. The first line accounted for all of the scoring. Bob Gellotte tallied twice while brother Bill and Johnny Marno each hit the nets once.

A powerful Andover aggregation proved to be the first stumbling block for Coach, Robertson's charges and overran them 5-1. The visitor's offense proved too much for the Hill team. Marno scored the lone Belmont tally.

In an effort to give the second line more scoring punch, Bobby Gelotte was shifted to center on the second line and Jack Blodgett was promoted to Gelotte's wing position.

This combination seemed to click as the team rolled over Milton 5-1 with Blodgett scoring twice.

Belmont avenged a last year's defeat when they defeated St. Marks 4-1. Jack Blodgett, Johnny Marno and Bob Gelotte accounted for all the goals.

Our next opponent, Exeter Academy,outskated a stubborn Hill team 5-2. This was our second and last defeat. Jack Blodgett led the losers with two goals.

After trailing the visiting Groton six by three goals at the end of the first session, the Red and Blue came back in the final two periods to win 5-4. Led by Captain Marno, who scored twice, the home team completely outplayed their opponents and Jack Blodgett scored the winning goal.

Noble and Greenough proved to be the team's next victim as they fell 3-1 at Belmont. After the visitors had jumped to a 1-0 lead, Johnny Marno scored twice and Wyman Smart once to ice it up.

Repeating their performance in the Skating Club, Belmont downed Governor Dummer 6-1 at South Byfield. Dow Emerson turned in a perfect job at the goal before being relieved late in the contest. Captain Marno and Jim Fulton paced the winners with three and two goals respectively.

In the final game on Belmont ice, the Hill team smothered Rivers 6-1. The goals were well divided with Johnny Marno scoring twice.

Despite an injured hip, Captain Marno led his team to a final 4-1 victory over Brooks in the Skating Club. Jim Harvey gave a preview of the future when he scored two goals. Bob Gelotte and Jack. McCarthy also scored.

John Marno led the team in scoring with 30 points, while Jack Blodgett, Bill Gelotte, and Bob Gelotte tallied 13, 12, and 11 respectively. Jack McCarthy proved the outstanding defenseman. The following boys received letters: Marno, W. Gelotte, R. Gelotte, Blodgett, Smart, Beede, Harvey, Jones, McCarthy, Fulton, Emerson, and Manager George Roorbach. Wyman Smart was elected Captain of next year's squad.

Basketball Because of the enthusiasm displayed last year, basketball was promoted to and the team played a full fourteen-game schedule. Under the coaching sport major a Mr. Crosby the team won eight games and lost six. The first team and Croke Mr. of and Bob Cameron as forwards, Stretch Rogers at center, Nemrow Dick of consisted and Capt. Boyd Higgins and Roger Curtis as guards.

In the season's opener, Cathedral High downed the team 52-41. The Hilltoppers led 13-0 at the end of the first quarter, but faded toward the end. Nemrow scored twenty points.

The South End Boys' Club won a close one at Belmont, 56-50, after a nip and tuck battle all the way. Nemrow scored sixteen points while Rogers and Higgins each netted fourteen.

The quintet turned in their first win 36-22 at the expense of St. Sebastian's.

Nemrow and Rogers led the attack with 16 and 12 points respectively.

Belmont downed Rivers in their next encounter, 34-31 in an overtime. Curtis's goal clinched the game soon after Cameron's foul shot gave Belmont a one-point lead.

Tom Knight replaced Nemrow in the lineup in this game.

On Saturday, February 3, the home team downed St. Mark's 45-22. Cameron and Higgins led the scoring with eight points apiece.

The team next played Lawrence Academy, winning 45-29. After three close quarters, Belmont Hill pulled ahead in the fourth stanza. Rogers scored seventeen points.

After leading 22-0 at the end of the first period, Belmont coasted to a 59-25 win over Browne and Nichols. Rogers sparked the attack with twelve baskets.

In a hard fought game, Woburn High defeated the team 46-30. Rogers and Cameron each tallied ten points.

Milton Academy proved too much for Belmont in the next game. After to an early lead, the Milton quintet managed to crush the home team 62-20. off getting On February 21 Thayer Academy also surpassed the Blue and Red five and defeated them 56-24. Rogers and Higgins were the individual scoring leaders.

Getting back in the win column, the team downed Browne & Nichols in the next encounter 26-21. Rogers and Higgins accounted for fourteen points.

Rivers was Belmont's next opponent and victim. They succumbed 25-20.

Rogers had a field day with nineteen points to his credit.

St. Sebastian's was next defeated in a return engagement 28-22. Bob Gelotte took over as a forward. Rogers again sparked the team as he accounted for ten points.

In the final game Belmont won its fourth straight by again downing Lawrence Academy 42-34. Rogers and Bob Gelotte scored thirty-one points between them.

The team had a successful season in spite of the loss of two key players, Roger Curtis and Dick Nemrow. However, Hugh Clarke and Tom Knight did an excellent job of filling in the gap. Rogers led the team in scoring with 152 points, followed by Higgins with 85 and Bob Cameron with 55. The team owes much to Capt. Higgins's enthusiasm and to his tireless efforts to earn for basketball its recognition as a major sport. Hugh Clarke was elected captain of next year's team. The following were awarded letters: Captain Boyd Higgins, Stretch Rogers, Roger Curtis, Hugh Clarke, Bob Cameron, Tom Knight, Woody Allen, and Manager Hugh Smith.

Captain William Gelotte

Coach George W. F. Keller

Baseball Unprecedented warm weather this year, enabled Mr. Keller and Mr. Maxwell to hold regular baseball practice during the two weeks preceding spring vacation.

A large squad of about fifty candidates was soon reduced, and after the spring vacation, was cut to twenty men. With eight returning lettermen, and several talented newcomers, the prospects for a successful season looked good.

Captain Bill Gelotte and Dave Beede provided the pitching talent, and alternated at third base, while Jim Fulton and Dow Emerson worked behind the plate.

Benny Crouch shifted to first base, and Jim Harvey and Bob Gelotte held the p3sitions around the keystone sack. Emerson, Boyd Higgins, Bill Allison, and Red Nemrow handled the outfield duties.

A practice game, played with Belmont High School on April 10th, showed the play of Captain Gelotte, Emerson, and Beede to be deserving of praise.

Because of printing conditions which necessitate an early deadline, the Yearbook is unable to report on any games. We are, therefore, printing the entire schedule.

Captain John Marno

Coach William O'Leary

Crew

On March 7, twenty-eight candidates reported for pre-season practice on the machines. Although Captain Johnny Marno was missing and but three lettermen were present, the prospects were cheerful, for the large squad included many potential oarsmen. This year through the combined efforts of Mr. O'Leary and Mr. Hamilton, the crew was able to row from the Riverside Boat Club on the Charles River. Another improvement was the purchase of an eight-oared shell from Harvard. This new addition, together with two fours and another eight, enabled twenty-four candidates to row each day. After daily sessions on the river during vacation, the following crews were chosen.

In the first boat were Daley, cox; Conant, stroke; Roorbach, 3; Hurd, 2; and LocateIli, bow. The second boat was made up of Coombs, cox; Livingstone, stroke; Doherty, 3; French, 2; and Clarke, bow. In the other two boats Mack, Sherwood, Bickford, Dalbeck, Tillotson, and Simonds show great promise.

All the races were rowed on the Charles; the schedule is as follows: Saturday, April 28

Brooks School, fours—three-quarter mile

Saturday, May 5

Tabor Academy, eights—three-quarter mile

Saturday, May 12

Open

Saturday, May 19

St. Mark's School, fours—three-quarter mile

Saturday, May 26

Browne and Nichols and Noble and Greenough, eights—three-quarter mile

As these races were yet to be rowed when the Yearbook went to press, the board can only extend their best wishes for a successful season.

Next year, although from the first eight only Conant and Livingstone are expected to return, the prospects are hopeful, for many hard working candidates have been groomed in the two eights.

Intramural Competition The Intramural Athletic competition was especially keen this year. All the boys not out for the first team participated and the teams were again guided by Mr. Turnbull, Mr. Whittier, Mr. Harris, and Mr. Mallett.

SOCCER Soccer games were started immediately after the completion of football.

The Bull Meese established an early lead and maintained it throughout the race. The winners were led by Charlie Carothers, Danny Bickford, and Dave Clark, whose previous experience proved of great value. The Bullfrogs finished second but were never a serious threat. Bob Stetson and Felix Forte stood out for the runners-up.

The Wildcats led by Dick Cameron finished third. George Walter, although a member of the cellar-dwelling Hawks, outshone most of his rivals and used his past experience to great advantage.

HOCKEY The hockey season was greatly curtailed as a result of the heavy snowfall. Several times the intramural games were postponed so that the first team rinks might be cleared. The race resulted in a triple tie between the Bull Meese, Wildcats, and Bullfrogs.

The Meese, aided by the work of Dick Kingman, Bill Allison, and Joe Basso, led all the way, only to fade in the home stretch. The Cats were led by Don Livingstone and Jim Wykoff while Johnny Fraser and Fritz Willman starred for the Frogs.

RIFLERY At this writing, the intramural riflery matches have not been completed, but the results to date show the Bull Meese in the lead with a score of 355 out of a possible 400. The Bullfrogs are second with 322, and the Hawks trail with 304. Sammy Caldwell of the Bull Meese leads the individual scorers with a high of 94. His own teammate Charlie Carothers tied with Jay Angevine of the Frogs for second berth, with 88 points apiece.

BASKETBALL Basketball assumed a new importance in the club leagues because of the short hockey season. The Hawks started off with a bang when they won eight straight games.

The leaders, sparked by Dick Nemrow, Jack Blodgett, and Bob Gelotte, were too much for all opposition. The Bullfrogs were the nearest rival, but placed a bad second. Dave Beede starred together with Skip Corwin. The Bull Meese placed third paced by Bill Allison and Jack McCarthy. John Quinn and Dick Jones were outstanding for the cellar-dwelling Wildcats. Mr. Whittier and Mr. Harris refereed and were in need of police protection more than once.

VOLLEYBALL After a beginning last year, volley ball proved to be a.big hit. The Bullfrogs jumped to an early lead but faded in the stretch as the Hawks took over. Bob Gelotte, Jack Blodgett, and Benny Crouch starred for the winners. The Bullfrogs managed to salvage second place through the efforts of Dave Beede. The Meese finished a close third led by Danny Bickford and Joe Basso. The Wildcats again finished last in spite of the good playing of Dick Cameron.

BOXING Winning every bout except one, the Bullfrogs took the boxing crown in a walkaway. The Bull Meese came in second followed by the Cats and Hawks in that order. Jorge Echavarria and Hugh Smith, both Frogs, proved the outstanding pugilists.

Jorge knocked out Hugh Clarke in the second round after a hard-fought match. Smith defeated George Roorbach in a very close bout. Jim Fulton was the outstanding heavyweight beating Joe Basso in an exciting fight. Danny Greene and Paul Kaufman staged one of the hardest matches, with Greene getting the decision. Mr. Maxwell judged the matches and Mr. Croke was the referee.

SQUASH Although we will be forced to go to press before the results of the squash tourney are known, we feel sure that it will be closely fought. Last year Bob Gelotte defeated Sandy Ferguson in the finals and the Hawks won the team competition.

BASEBALL We hope that baseball will be as exciting and as hotly contested as it was last year. The club league title was not decided until baseball season last year and it looks as if the same will be true this year. Unfortunately our early wartime deadline makes it impossible to give the final results.

The Sixth Form wishes to express its sincere appreciation to all the advertisers who have, in large measure, made possible the publishing of this book. With this acknowledgment it hopes to repay in a small way their kind co-operation.
