2edication, ...

In Mr.Sawyer the Form has found a friend and counselor in the classroom and on the playing field. Himself a graduate of Belmont Hill, Mr. Sawyer has taught the members of the Form Latin, English, football, hockey, and baseball. This he has done with a verve and a sympathy which made learning from him a pleasure. But more important than any knowledge of irregular verbs or the hit-and- run play, he has taught all of us a scale of values for a full life: in short, how to live. For this and for the years of pleasant good fellowship we have spent with him the Form has tried by this dedication to express a small portion of our undying appreciation of a great man—Mr. Sawyer.

ae Sixth, Jorrn, We submit the following to stand as the history of the Class of 1950. In case of future suspicion as to its accuracy, all we can say is that we wrote it with tongue in cheek.

while Teddy Greene ran as his close competitor and both received honor pins. The class as a whole was indeed showing itself to be very promising in the academic field.

On the morning of September 13, 1942, the last graduating class of the half century began with the quiescent quartet of Teddy Greene, Mac Miller, Cy Strong, and Ted Tillotson in Class B. This was a modest start toward a mid-century class of the atomic age, but at least a pop in the right direction. Since records for this year are scanty, we will take this heaven-sent opportunity to provide some sentiment for mush addicts: mush, mush, mush, mush!

In Class D, under Pete Coffin's auspices, Robin Barnes, alias The Asp, Charlie Swift, alias The Match, Mort Clark, Joe Shea, and Jimmy Stedfast found themselves involved in the mystic society of Madam Wong. Our headquarters were in the infamous Hi-DeeHo, but the zenith of our elusive action was a Hallowe'en party held in the home of George Devine, who, finding things rather difficult, had decided to make another attempt at Class C. The three boys from Concord, Bob Billings, Johnny Moore, and Pete Wilson, preferred the academic life to the scandalous society of the underworld; while Tommy Burnside and Hayden Coon were busy in their darkrooms. Once in a while, we were able to see Dick Zavarine. Apparently Dick didn't appreciate our ways, athletic or scholastic, for because of his infrequent visits to school none of us was really ever able to discover just what Dick's purpose was as an inhabitant of this planet.

Mac Miller, for some reason or other, became pessimistic about his future and left us the following year to become a nomad in other schools. The class, however, had a few new candidates for the job which lay ahead.

Dave Alcaide, Bob Andrews, and Pete Frye joined our lusty organization in Class C. At midyear we were joined by George Devine and Bob Watson. This year proved to be a little more lively than the previous one.

Looking back to those days of our youth, we remember a certain member of Class B by the name of Phil Swan. Poor Phil proved to be our chief means of recreation. A favorite pastime was to enclose Phil in one of the Lower School lockers. But that was not enough: one day poor Phil found himself seated in a waste basket surmounting a table in the front of our study hall. Much to the anger of Mr. Johnson, Phil wouldn't go to his seat when told. What with studies and Phil, we didn't find it very difficult to keep ourselves occupied throughout the year.

And there were those who regarded their studies seriously, even at this tender age.

Already Dave Alcaide showed positive signs of being our mathematician and electrician,

This year the class began to show promise in the field of dramatics. Under the direction of Mr. Funk, Class D, in spite of its lack of maturity, was able to produce Franz Schuberes Fernando. Alcaide, Greene, and Swift had the leads and showed great promise.

Even though the entire class participated, Mr. Funk and Mr. Forbes turned out a fine job!

All of us, with the exception of Bob Watson, who preferred to remain with his confederate, George Devine, moved on into the mysterious Upper School, with nothing but a rude consciousness of impending catastrophe. It was an eventful morning, that of September 15, 1945, and our Form found its

world vastly enlarged. The Winchester immigration quota rose to inconceivable heights.

We found ourselves among a very versatile and learned group of individuals from the land of the Mystic Lakes. "McGooch" McDavitt amazed the boys with his "did I ever tell you" tales, and the next year found "McGooch" flying to school at half past eight on his big red motorcycle. Already Dixon Pike and "Shorty" Tucker found themselves getting "scrounged" in Mr. Keller's math classes.

Eddie Pride and Dick Davis entangled themselves in the water sports, and Eddie later became an oarsman for our crew. Dick Wansker found a companion in Mac, and it wasn't too long before Dick took a decided interest in vehicles with only two wheels.

Belmont also contributed to our Form, for Mike Carchia came with his educated pasteboards and the charming naivete for which his 'questions are famous. Jim Flett entered as the top authority on the big rigs; in later years even Mr. Koslowslci was happy to obtain a few pearls of Jim's knowledge of trucking. Naughty boy Phil Swabe, who achieved his somewhat dubious fame by anticipating the Kinsey Report by a half decade, just wasn't able to keep out of trouble. Mr. Maxwell claimed he was going to purchase Phil as a bean pole for his garden, but between Phil's putting on a little weight and Mr. Maxwell's bean crop failure, Phil lost probably his only opportunity of association with a clinging vine.

name of "Smiley." Later on, however, he was able to voice his opinions and became the most distinguished member of our Form.

Our ornithologist came to School from Cambridge, for with Bob Paine came the birds. Our top athlete came from Lexington.

By the time he had graduated, Harold "Chip" Hoolcway had won seven letters, a couple of M.V.P. trophies, a League championship, and a love for bowling "stickers." Another interesting character also joined us from the land of revolutions, Charlie Gragg. Poor Charlie has really led a tough life these past few years. He never missed a Lone Ranger program, and he became so completely frustrated over his dancing lessons that he gave up dancing. He was known as the brain of our class, and he certainly earned himself that title when he forced the ERB to change their exams. From the land of the Minute Men came Tom Sawtell of Lincoln. He left his plough for the world of dramatics, and later becoming a crew enthusiast, stroked the first boat in his junior and senior years. Our true aliens were, however, imported from greater distances. Andy Sigoumey came up from Princeton to inform us of the world of jazz.

Ted Bovey came flying in from Carlisle, land of the dinosaurs, while the Wigglesworth Machinery Company engaged in its chief advertising adventure in sending Giff to Belmont Hill.

The faculty this year contributed four new those owned by Messrs. Burroughs, faces, Hose" "Scarlet Bill produced Arlington Nazzaro.

dent of the Form. John Leahy, the Littleton constructor, Gene Chase of Winchester and the White Spot, and deadline Russ Carpenter from Medford completed the outlying talent.

The only home-town boy was David Lang Clark, known as D.L., a mild looking lad who claimed he wanted to enter the ministry and who occasionally felt the urge to cook waffles at 3 A.M.

The next year, returning from our summer vacations, we found again strange faces in the faculty. Mr. Downes returned from waging the Second World War in the basement of the Pentagon to conduct a third one in "Operation History VI." The battle of words was once more opened in an attempt to acquaint Sixth Formers with the historical facts With both the faculty and the form thus of life. Mr. Loomis, having seen his way reinforced, we managed to live through our through four years of the Army, joined the last lower form year.

there was Jack Shaner. Jack and Ed Neiley were the South's contribution this year. Ed was a Virginia gentleman and proposed to continue the Civil War only in the drawing room, but not Jackson! He was organizing an Army of the Fighting South to march on Boston to the tune of his pipe, which Jackson played like Custer at the Little Bighorn. In addition to being another Lee, Shaner was also the first to bring a real knowledge of bridge to the School, a game which was to — but that's getting ahead of the story again.

The last addition to the Form this year was Howie Bouve, who achieved the distinction of being told that, regardless of the laws of nature, if he wanted to go to Belmont Hill, he had to shave every day. He and Shaner worked out an agreement with the powers that be to keep the stubble under some sort of control. In this year of vacillation between lower and upper forms, the Form began to make its first real impression. Gragg and Pike had crashed the Sextant board the year before, and Wansker had become our first varsity athlete, in basketball, but now the Form really began to come into its glory.

Howe won his football letter; Bouve and Coon were regulars on the soccer team; Pike began his hockey career; Hoolcway and Wansker made the basketball team; Hookway, Howe, Rambach, and Wigglesworth were all baseball lettermen; and Moore repeated his letter in crew to join Clark and Barnes, who had coxed in 1946. The Form pervaded other activities too: Sawtell won an art prize; Alcaide, Barnes, Bouve, Bovey, Flett, and Paine were members of the Rifle Club; Alcaide, Carpenter, and Flett joined Coon in the Dramatic Club; and Jack Shaner was our first representative on the Student Council.

The year progressed fairly quietly. Mr. Maxwell's iron hand brought the errant mathematicians under a sort of control, which applied to everyone except Alcaide, who came to class only when his electronic activities permitted, and to Herr Whittier, who utilized the blackboard for personal references. This was also the year that the GWFK Breweries sponsored the Friday morning assemblies, and egg-throwing predominated in

faculty athletics. The year came to an end as Coon copped the biology prize and Gragg the junior scholarship medal, the latter a feat that was not recognized until the next Christmas.

As the Fourth Form merged into the Fifth, we lost two more boys, as Wansker, our basketball ace, peddled his services elsewhere and Zavarine's shadowy existence came to an end, as he simply dropped from the rolls of the Form, never to be heard from again. But the autumn revealed five new faces in our class. From the Orinoco came Joaquin Avel!Ian to teach Mr. Whittier soccer. Joaquin was a product of Caracas, where the people spend all Saturday resting up for and all Sunday recovering from their Saturday nights.

George McLaughlin was our last hockey import and a very busy man, for, as far as any other member of the Form could discover, what time he didn't spend on the rinks he spent loafing by the seaside, and what time he didn't spend there he spent driving around the countryside. New York yielded Dick Winger, another bridge expert; and Newton gave the School its last treasure in Jerry Maloney, football player, cartoonist, and rifle shot extraordinary. These two were to add to an immortal collection of boarders in Speare House in the Form's last year, a collection that for sheer diversity of talent will never be equalled in any prep school. The last of the Winchester crowd arrived in the person of Pete Gray, the School's cheerleader and immortal as the boy who introduced "Oh, hell" to Belmont Hill.

The faculty made no changes in line-up, being content to face what promised to be a harrowing year with a pat hand. The math department now had everyone but Alcaide under control, and the science department caught the Form between biology and physics thanks to the lack of a chemistry genius.

But Mr. Fisher was forced to face the full brunt of a history section preparing for Mr. Downes. By midyear he Had taken to throwing several members of the Form out of class with the explanation, "You know too much."

By finals he was reduced to giving a cumulative exam, which failed miserably when boys

began leaving early. If history failed to keep up with the exuberance of the Form, the French course, quickly turned into something resembling a bull session, outdid itself and produced some of the most incorrigible extroverts with which society has ever been saddled.

athletes, Billy Gindele, who rode horses professionally, played bridge on a percentage basis, and became the Form's liaison man with Concord Academy. Finally, we annexed Dudley Richards, who was to become Eastern U. S. Men's Figure Skating Champion and who livened up our hockey games with exhibitions during intermissions. We understand that Dudley is a swell guy, but we have no first-hand report, since, as far as we can determine, he lived in the Skating Club and came out only for dances.

The Form's achievements were hardly all scholastic, however, as Johnny Moore became our first varsity captain, piloting the crew in his Fifth Form year. George McLaughlin became the first intramural pitcher to use a fast ball, curve, and change of pace as he After seven years, the Form was together mowed down intramural batsmen until ele- and we proceeded to make history.

This year the Sextant won a national first prize for excellence, only to discover that it was too advanced for the rest of the School, whereupon it went out of business in its old format and a new type of magazine to cater to the masses took its place. After considerable prompting by Mr. Keller, the Form undertook two Friday morning shows. Carpenter and Swift, assisted by others, including two men named Rodgers and Hart, produced the sensational A Little South of Terrific. Alcaide and Coon placed second in New England's Science Fair at M.I.T. with their superspeed Versatron, and Bob Paine's superspeed growth showed signs of stopping under eight feet, but only signs. Russ Carpenter built his Sixth Form fence, and the whole form joined gleefully in keeping the lower formers off it; Russ also headed the Dance Committee with deadly efficiency, making it impossible not to enjoy yourself while you could. The Hasty Heart was Gindele's first and Coon's last triumph on the Belmont stage, and the spring concert of the Glee Club saw the first (official) chorus performance of a Swift-Carpenter tune.

The end came swiftly on the eighth and ninth of June. On the eighth the baccalaureate service, at which the Reverend Mr. Afterton of Belmont gave a very fine talk, was held in the morning. Prize Day came that afternoon. The many honors won by members of our Form in this last year are modestly omitted here—since you will have to plough through them, anyway, in the immediately succeeding pages. David Baxter, of the Class of 1930, President of the Alumni Association, who was introduced by the Headmaster, gave the principal address. Like Mr. Baxter, President Daniels delivered a mercifully short

speech in the hundred degree heat. He presented the class gift to the School, a gift that was as much of a surprise to the Form as it was to the rest of the audience, because the condition of the Form meetings by this time made it impossible for any one to know what he was voting on. The day's activities ended with the excellent Glee Club concert in the evening.

The end of the year and the Form's undergraduate life came the next day. Alcaide maintained a perfect record to the last, handing in his history thesis an hour before he graduated. To be more serious, at the commencement exercizes Mr. Hamilton gave a concise but thorough review of the School's progress and present problems and then introduced the principal speaker, Dr. Szent-Ivany, former President of Hungary and now a member of the faculty of Massachusetts Institute of Technology, who gave a moving address on the needs to maintain democratic standards, as exemplified in America, in a torn and troubled world. Mr. Henry Meyer, President of the School, awarded the diplomas. The Reverend Mr. Daniels, Fred's father, pronounced the invocation and benediction.

In the evening the Form was together for the last time. Mr. and Mrs. Hamilton entertained the Form and their guests at a dinner dance in the tent. We were sorry to hear Mr. Hamilton's announcement that Mr. Loomis, despite the inducement of years ahead without the Class of 1950, had decided to leave, we hope only temporarily, to do graduate work toward his doctorate in history. Fred Daniels made his last announcement, that the Yearbook had been dedicated to Mr. Sawyer, and you have already read what we tried to say about him. Then the prom followed, and by sometime the next morning the Form had disbanded and our years at Belmont Hill were at an end.

_Alt„JDar This is a column by the editor; and its purpose is to give him room to make certain acknowledgements and to include the rag, tag, and bob-tail that seem to fit nowhere else.

First, we should like to extend the thanks of the Form to the boys who made the Yearbook possible and to Mr. Willey, who now has the job of typing and proofreading this entire book. (Adviser's parenthetical note to future Yearbook boards: the weather gets very hot in Boston in late June and July.) Tom Sawtell and Ted Greene provided the funds, from ads and circulation respectively, to pay for the publishing of this tome. Parenthetically, while we are on the subject of money, we apologize to Tedford-Harvard, whose duly subscribed ad was not published by last year's Yearbook board. This oversight, we trust, has not occurred again. You might check by turning to the advertising section. Hayden Coon and Giff Wigglesworth have contributed a remarkable collection of photographs to this enterprise, without which the Yearbook might be awfully dull reading; and Gerry Maloney turned in the finest set of cartoons a Belmont Hill Yearbook has ever published.

While we are passing out bouquets, the Form congratulates: Mr. Keller, who completes this year his twenty-fifth year at the Hill and who has done so much to change the School from a small collection of outbuildings on Belmont Hill to the Belmont Hill School of today and, we hope, of tomorrow.

Mr. Innis, who also completes this year twenty-five years of devoted service to the School. In addition to his innumerable contributions to the improvement and maintenance of the plant of the School, he has made a unique contribution in the development and continuance of the Sixth Form panels.

Mrs. Miller and Frank Grady, who have nourished the Form through its existence without a single recorded fatality and, what is more significant, without losing a single customer to the Arlmont.

Muffin, who pulled through her near-fatal operations to return to action with undiminished spirit.

Finally, the Houses of Maxwell and Chase & Sanborn and of Lady Fatima and Lord Chesterfield, without whose aid we never would have stayed awake long enough to write this.

Now that the serious part of this section is over, we can recall a few memories of our undergraduate years not exactly suitable for the Form history. Do you remember that famous Friday morning show staged for Mr. Whittier's benefit by Avellan and Ayuso that wound up with Whittemore holding the Vaseline? We wonder how many in the Form know who started the gas generator in Mr. Mattlage's final physics class or who really put the holes in Mr. Downes's ceiling. We would like to explain to Mr. Jenney that the "Jenney makes the best even better" sign left on his automobile early in the morning of June 10th was meant as a token of our genuine and deep appreciation, not an attempt to land him in jail. Speaking of Form memories, maybe we should tell Mr. Loomis that the back door of Cole's Hole was never burglar-proof and Mr. Mattlage that his physics cabinets can be opened by lifting the bolts from the hinges. As far as we know, all those Lucky Strike packages Livermore collected never won any one anything, not even a free Lucky; and we regret to inform the public that a race between the Sawtell Dodge and the Shane Ford never materialized, which saved the Massachusetts highways from a

fate worse than McDavitt. Under the heading of "Now It Can Be Told," we reveal that Mac's motorcycle never exceeded the speed of sound and that Mac survived unmarred through a nodding acquaintance with a number of telephone poles. We would like to inform Mr. Koslowski that Howard Johnson's trash cans are now chained down, but that would end the suspense and besides, Mr. Kos asked for them. We grieve that Winger's applejack never got into full production, because it promised to make life damned interesting for a while. Remember the prayer that began, "Our Spike, which art in Room 12"?

Unfortunately it never got into print, but we have, and here reproduce, a communication

from another Spike in the wheels of progress, explaining the lack of a baseball write-up: "Inkwell (editor's name): This is all I've had time to do (200 of a promised 1000 words).

I have no baseball information. My Mother's getting married Saturday and leaving for Europe. We're selling the house and I've been packing and cleaning up, morning till night. Stay calm. Spike." We stayed calm.

One final word: the title "After Dark" refers to the time this Yearbook was written.

We wish next year's board much luck; they'll need it.

ae (="Cower School The year 1949-50 in the Lower School will be remembered as a highly successful one, not only in the classrooms, but in extra-curricular activities as well.

In football, the "Pups," Lower School J-V contingent, blazed a new trail by winding up a second undefeated season, edging Meadowbrook and Fessenden in home and home contests. Richy Spence, Art Freeman, Ted Welch, Bob Cain, Ken Cowan, Guy Turnbull,

and Pete Blackman were the usual starting line, with Donny Allison, Chris Benda, Tom Mostrom and Tony Federer in the backfield.

Mr. Gregg and Mr. Burroughs coached the team. The Midget team under Mr. Mulliken split with Fessenden on a home and home basis, 20-0 and 14-19, polished off Fenn, 19-0, and dropped a close decision to the Juniors J-V team. The starting line-up included Jonny Wilcox, Laurie Wilkins, Pete Burch, Ted Davis, Neil Blacldow, Gil Swift, and Bruce

Hammond on the line, with Tom Hunt, Bob Togneri, Jim Parkhill, and Tom Goodale in the backfield.

The basketball and hockey seasons also showed a comfortable margin in the win column. In hockey, Tom Mostrom, Jim Parkhill, and Tom Goodale made up the first line, with a second line of Don Allison, Tom Hunt, and Dave Canfield supported by subs Hugh MacMahon and Guy Turnbull. The defense was handled by Jonny Wilcox, Gil Swift, and Bill Kellett, with Ted Davis doing a fine job in the net. Scores were: Lower School 2, Fenn 1; Lower School 5, Fessenden 1; Lower School 4, Arlington Jr. High 7th 3; Lower School 1, Fessenden 1; and Fenn 3, Lower School 1. In basketball, Bruce Hammond, Jonny Wilcox, Mort Leavitt, Bob Cain, Dave Canfield, Tom Goodale, Tommy Hunt, Bill Kellett, Hugh MacMahon, Tom Mostrom, Jim Parkhill and Bob Togneri all saw service during the season. The team defeated Browne and Nichols twice, 29-18 and 37-30, and Shaw House, 28-25, but lost a close encounter to Park, 27-24.

Baseball saw one of the strongest nines in years line up under Mr. Mulliken's watchful eyes. The starting group included Dave Canfield on the mound,Ted Davis as catcher, Bob Togneri at first, Jim Parkhill second, Tom Goodale short, Tom Hunt third, with Bruce Hammond, Mort Leavitt, and Jonny Wilcox in the field. Hunt and Wilcox also relieved as pitchers. Subs included Tom Mostrom, Jim Wilson, Bill Kellett, Laurie Wilkins, Bob Cain, Hugh MacMahon, Tony Federer, Neil Blacklow, Bill Griswold, Art Freeman, and Walt Welch. The season saw the team defeated only once by a strong Belmont Junior High seventh grade outfit. Wins included two over Fenn, 5-3 and 8-5, Friends' Academy of New Bedford, 12-8, and Shaw House, 11-7. There was one tie with Arlington Junior High West's seventh grade, 6-6. A word of praise goes to Pete Taylor for his excellent managing, not only in baseball but in other sports. The Pups baseball team also had a good year, setting down Fessenden twice, 3-2 and 7-4, and losing only one game to Meadowbrook, 11-9, after beating them, 12-3.

One of the big events of the year in the Lower School was the annual dramatic pro-

duction. With Mr. Burroughs turning out incredible numbers of original and catchy tunes and with Mr. Mulliken continuing to pour out effective script, the tradition of Lower School shows has continued; and great credit for the success of this year's production, "Golden Daze," must go to Mr. Togneri, who has taken over the direction so ably. Peter Taylor as the director, with his scriptman, Arthur Murphy, and their stage manager, Robert Togneri, will long be remembered. Particularly noteworthy were the performances of Hugh MacMahon as the leading lady and James Parkhill as leading man.

Lower School Prize Day was held in the Chapel on Wednesday, June 7. Mr. Densmore welcomed the boys and parents and then introduced Mr. Whittier, Director of the Second Form, who spoke to Class Seven about their responsibilities next year. He also introduced Francis V. Scanlan, President of next year's Sixth Form. After this, Mr. Densmore awarded the various prizes. Letters were given for outstanding athletic achievement.

Thomas Goodale and Jim Parkhill were announced as finalists in the tennis tournament.

Bill Griswold and Neil Blacklow accepted the cup for the Pawnees, who were the winners in the intramurals this year. The Barker Debating Trophy was won by the Apaches, their team being made up of Hugh MacMahon, Peter Taylor and Thomas Goodale. The Jury Painting Award first prize went to David Canfield. The Parents' Ballot Painting Award first prize was given to Peter Blackman. A special award by Mr. and Mrs. Togneri for artistic effort went to William Davis. The Burroughs Music Prize was awarded this year to Hugh MacMahon. The Gregg Social Studies Prizes for excellence in project work were given to Thomas Hunt in Class Seven; in Class Six to Peter Burke; and in Class Five to Claude Welch. The Director's Prize to the outstanding boy in Class Seven was awarded to Robert Togneri. Fifteen boys were awarded honor pins for having a "B" average for the year.

After awarding the prizes Mr. Densmore introduced Mr. Hamilton who spoke to the class about becoming members of the Upper School. The exercises closed with the singing of a hymn.

Under the leadership of Scott Rambach as president and Jack Shaner as secretary, this year's Athletic Council made several important decisions.

It was felt that in most sports there was a lack of competition for positions throughout the season. After thoroughly discussing the matter, the Council recommended a change in policy which was adopted. Under this policy a smaller first squad would be chosen, and candidates for varsity teams would first have to prove themselves on second teams.

By picking likely prospects from second teams and sending any varsity player to a second team for further development, the coaches expect more lively competition and higher morale throughout each playing season. It is hoped also to avoid fixed varsity teams which are difficult to join after the first game and to provide more coaching for those who do

not immediately make the first or second string.

The Council voted that all lettermen be awarded white sweaters for their first letter, rather than making a distinction by colors among the sports. This means that all lettermen will win equally prized recognition for significant athletic contribution. It is up to future players to make this letter valuable by giving their best all season.

As the School has grown enough to compete in more varsity sports with other schools, new sports have been made letter sports. This spring the tennis squad, led by Captain Bob Billings, proved that it could take on varsity competition, and the Council voted to make tennis a letter sport.

Throughout this year the Council has remained a vital channel for the boys to share with the coaches in making the athletic program of the School active and worthwhile.

The Work Squad continued to function through the year as a great asset to the maintenance of the School. The program allows boys when they are not participating in any of the organized sports to carry out certain duties maintaining or bettering the physical plant of Belmont Hill. The work not only provides exercise for the boys but also supplies them with a feeling of adding concretely to the School.

Many of the jobs were everyday ones such as collecting and dumping papers and ashes and washing windows. By having these duties performed by the boys, the maintenance crew was relieved to do more skilled work. Thus the Squad indirectly made possible the completion of a number of important tasks around the campus.

However, a large number of jobs accom-

plished created new things. One of the largest and most obvious of these was the landscaping done around the addition to the Field House. Boys worked furiously to dig out clay and fill in with good soil, and the beauty of the shrubbery and lawn should be a pleasant reminder of hard work well-spent. Much work was done around the athletic fields. The football field and baseball diamond received special treatment, and the hockey rinks were put in better condition.

It is obvious that the labors of the Squad produced two important results. First, the appearance of the campus was very much improved. Second, and equally important, the program instilled more pride in Belmont Hill's condition in the boys who carried out the work.

Sextant This year's Sextant board, for the most part composed of Sixth Formers, adopted a policy of working independently of faculty supervision. This policy was by no means a reflection on Mr. Funk or other faculty members, but sprang from the feeling that if the Sextant was to mirror student achievement, then the students alone should publish it. After all, Mr. Funk had done too much of the work too long, and it was about time we did our part!

The new board started their term of office by producing a topnotch graduation issue in the spring of 1949 commemorating the twentyfifth anniversary of the School.

The effects of student independence began to be felt in the fall issue, first by Russ Carpenter as editor-in-chief and, as the deadline approached, by the other members of the board. By dint of hard work during the last moments, however, the issue met its deadline and maintained the Sextant's high standards.

These first two issues were good enough to win a place in the first division in the Columbia Press Association Contest, the highest

honor available to a preparatory school magazine.

With the spring issue, however, the lack of alignment of the Sextant with popular desire took its toll. The student body had been becoming increasingly indifferent to the Sextant, and the board was carrying the full load. A half dozen boys proved to be too few to carry on the magazine successfully, and the spring issue was a month late. The standards remained high, as Tom Sawtell won an honorable mention in the Boston Globe contest for his poem and the magazine itself received honorable mention for make-up. The old Sextant, however, perished with the spring issue of 1950.

With graduation came an excellent first issue from a reorganized board. The new format included such changes as an enlarged page size, a photo-cover, and rearranged layouts and is the result of a greatly enlarged board divided into specific staffs under faculty supervision. To Editor "Tony" Porter and his co-workers, who have made a magnificent start, we wish the best of luck.

yee CIU Because School opened a week later than usual, the Glee Club decided not to give its usual Christmas concert and instead to prepare for a joint concert with the Walnut Hill School Glee Club in March and the annual spring concert the night before graduation.

David Howe was again elected president of the group, Giff Wigglesworth was the vicepresident, and Will Little filled the newly created position of manager and librarian.

On March 29th Walnut Hill joined the Glee Club in presenting one of the most enjoyable evenings in Glee Club history. The two groups were particularly fortunate in having as conductor in three of his own compositions Dr. Randall Thompson. He led the singing of "Alleluia," "The God Who Gave Us Life," and "Pueri Hebraeorum." Dr. Thompson's great skill and musical knowledge were warmly appreciated by all.

On June 8th the Glee Club gave its spring concert. Although the mid-August heat made the Field House something like a large oven and special intermissions had to be called, the work of the Club was excellent throughout the entire program. Included in the singing were selections by the double quartet of T. Davis, W. Little, Wigglesworth, R. Blacklow, Daniels, Staples, Whitman, and Grozier; two original songs by Charles Swift and Russell Carpenter of the class of '50; and a fine solo

by John Grozier, in "The Battle Hymn of the Republic."

The Glee Club owes most of its success to the able directing of Mr. Burroughs and the skillful accompaniment of Mr. Funk. To them go the Club's deepest appreciation and thanks.

2ramatic Citt Not wishing to rest on its laurels gained from the productions of previous years, but feeling that another play of high calibre should be undertaken, the Dramatic Club selected The Hasty Heart, by John Patrick.

This play, written while the author was in the Pacific area during World War II, is a story set in a British military hospital there. Incidents of light humor and uninhibited jokery are depicted, but the main story concerns a suspicious and unsocial Scottish soldier named Lachie who, though he does not know it, is mortally ill. The men in the hospital ward attempt, despite the barrier of personality conflict, to understand Lachie's attitude and make him understand their outlooks on life. Despite the somber theme, the play ends on a hopeful note, since the young Scotsman's hard shell of pride is broken, and he finally sees the value and sincerity of the friendliness offered him.

The role of Lachie, which demands real acting ability for the varying moods of resentment and tenderness, of brooding and bravura, was portrayed feelingly by Ted Davis. Russell Carpenter, a veteran of three

previous plays, took the part of Yank, a brash and popular American soldier. Other men in the ward were played by Hayden Coon, as a Falstafflan Cockney; Thomas Metzger, as an introspective ex-prizefighter from Australia; Charles Swift,as a mellow New Zealander; and Robin Barnes, as an African Basuto. David L. Clark played an exhausted British medical officer, and Richard Winger was his orderly.

The only feminine role of the play, that of an understanding nurse, was well acted by Bill Gindele.

A very important part of the Dramatic Club, the production staff, worked hard and fruitfully. The one set represented authentically a hospital hut in the jungle. Mr. Duncan directed the work of the stage crew, which included David Alcaide, Thomas Stetson, Robert Ward, and Ely Pierce.

An innovation this year for the Dramatic Club was the presenting of short one-act plays at the Friday morning assemblies. In all the activities of the Club the guiding spirit has been Mr. Funk, who as director has been primarily responsible for the success of dramatics at Belmont Hill.

CIJ This year, the most successful in the history of the Rifle Club, was so due partly to the effort of its officers, Gerald Maloney and Giff Wigglesworth, and partly to the Club spirit which was admirably drawn out by the Director, Mr. Robert Rice. Each of the fortyodd members had the use of the range once a week for practice or for the fulfillment of National Rifle Association qualification targets. The following were the season's highest scores from each position: (10 bull) prone— Cogswell, 100; standing—Maloney, 84;(single bull) prone—Maloney, 50; sitting—Cabot, Maloney, 49; kneeling—McNeil, 48; standing— Cogswell, 46.

The four qualified N.R.A. expert riflemen, Bovey, Cogswell, Edmunds, and Maloney, assisted by Avellan, McNeil, and Paine, made up the School rifle team. The first match was held at Middlesex on February 9, and Belmont Hill won by a single point. The high scorers were Bovey and Maloney, each with a 97 prone. The following week the team

shot a postal match with Tabor. Though Belmont Hill was much improved over its previous match, Tabor's experienced marksmen won easily. Maloney and Bovey again tied for prone honors with 97 each.

An invitation to join a rifle league with Exeter, Andover, St. Paul's, and Tabor was accepted and a postal match arranged among Andover, Exeter, and Belmont Hill. Exeter won with Andover second, and Belmont Hill a close third. High scorer was Bovey with 98 prone. Maloney was a consistent high scorer in every match from the standing position with an 81 average.

The cave-like structure we call the rifle range was the scene of spirited competition during the intramural tournament. The Bull Frogs scored a one point margin over the favored Hawks to take the Intramural Rifle Cup for the second straight year. Roger Cogswell of the Hawks won the Rifle Medal with a perfect score of 100.

_At Under the direction of Mr. Togneri the art program continued with unabated success.

Productive activity was stimulated both in class time and in Thursday afternoon sessions.

Besides the work of such established artists as Curtis, Draper, P. Gragg, Harrison, and Strong, this year saw the rise to fame of Peter Stevens, whose work won him the jury award on Field Day and Mr. and Mrs. Togneri's prize for outstanding work. Harrison won the popular award on Field Day and had the distinction of having his play posters banished to the Sixth Form room as too risque for public display.

This year the parents'art program remained in full force with Monday evening and Friday morning classes for both parents and faculty wives. Next year several of the faculty men threaten to participate. The products of these

classes were displayed on Field Day with the boys' work and almost stole the show, as many of the younger generation discovered that their progenitors still had a spark of life after all. Mr. Togneri is contemplating even further progress with more advanced members of this group next year, with a Boston exhibit as the final goal. The progress of the art program augurs a bright future for the brush and paint section of Belmont Hill, for which the credit is due to Mr. "T" and his patient development of talent in boys and parents alike.

The photographs above show some of the work of the Lower School (upper left), of the Upper School (lower left), and of the parents (upper and lower right). Critical comparisons are welcome. We hope you like all of them!

shop During the year the Shop expanded its quarters and equipment. Formerly, the maintenance shop and the woodworking shop were together in the basement of the Field House. The removal of the maintenance shop gave Mr.Innis and his classes more room. The installation of fluorescent lighting also made better working conditions.

Much of Mr. Innis's time was taken up during the year with the Sixth Form panels. Although when assembled on the walls of the chapel and dining room they are beautiful, there are struggles to choose a subject, struggles to transfer pictures onto wood, and worse struggles to make progress in chipping the wood. Some boys, realizing that one chip with a chisel by Mr. Innis produced better

results than many of theirs, worked out the intelligent scheme of having Mr. Innis "demonstrate" until he had done much of the work.

Sixth Formers could receive the compliments of their relatives and friends and say calmly, "It took a lot of time and patience, but it really was fun."

Mr. Innis's time was not all spent with Sixth Formers. There were Second and Third Form shop classes also, and the products of these show his fine guidance. Numerous projects were completed which were exhibited on Field Day. Most people feel that manual training is extremely important in the education of boys.

There can be no doubt that Mr. Innis provides highly skilled and inspiring instruction.

2ance Committee The committee this year gave three successful dances, as well as a Glee Club dance with Walnut Hill and the Fifth Form dance. The football dance in the dining hall on November 12 utilized autumn's colors, while the remaining dances were greatly enhanced by the use of the new common room. The WhyNot dance on March 4 found the gym turned

into a ship. In the atmosphere of a police station, complete with the masters behind bars, an arch in the shape of a lock, and the Yearbook cartoons and pictures on the walls, the year was climaxed by the prom on June 9.

Chappie Arnold provided all music. Congratulations are due Chairman Carpenter, Lipkin, Maloney, Rambach, and Stedfast.

5,0d./I This year's football team won three games and lost four. The victories were decisive, over Roxbury Latin, St. Mark's, and Brooks.

Two of the defeats, those by St. George's and Middlesex, were equally decisive the other way; the other two defeats, at the hands of Groton and Governor Dummer, were heartbreakers.

The squad started practice the week before the opening of School with a great deal of spirit and optimism. Lettermen from the preceding season were Hookway and Maloney, ends; Pierce, C. Strong, and Lipkin, tackles; W. Little and McDavitt, guards; Turley, center; and Gill, Rambach,Perry, and Captain Howe, backs. Talented newcomers were Walters, a fine back, and, from last year's reserves, Billings, Pike, Hurley, Lussier, and Casner.

In the opening game a heavier St. George's line bottled up Belmont's ground attack. Taking to the air, Gill and Hookway combined on an eighty yard pass play to score. But

WILLIAM CROKE, Coach

St. George's had already scored twice and added one more to win, 19-7.

The team then rebounded to crush Roxbury Latin, 34-0. Early in the first quarter Don Walters ran back two punts with excellent blocking to give Belmont a 14-0 lead. Hookway scored on a pass from Gill, and Rambach went over on a twenty yard gallop. Near the end of the game Walters made a fine catch of a Gill pass to complete the scoring.

The next Saturday found Belmont playing St. Mark's at Southboro. Recovering a St. Mark's fumble early in the first period, Belmont drove to a score, with Howe and Rambach carrying and Walters plunging over to tally. St. Mark's immediately drove deep into Belmont territory but was finally stopped by the fast-charging Belmont line. Later in the game Scott Rambach drove across to complete the scoring. Belmont stopped several more drives to win, 12-0. The one blight on the victory was the loss of Don Walters for the season.

The next week a spirited and determined Belmont eleven met a favored and heavier Groton team. In the opening minutes Hookway scored Belmont's touchdown on a pass from Gill. The team outplayed Groton during the first half with rugged defensive play. In the third quarter the big Groton team bulled its way to a touchdown on fourth down. The kick for point was good, and since we had missed ours, we had to accept defeat, 7-6.

Governor Dummer found the team down after its hard battle with Groton and got off to a 13-0 lead early in the game. Both touchdowns were scored on fourth down. Then Hookway took a pass from Gill and went fifty-five yards to score, and in the third quarter scored again on a long pass; but the Governors picked up another touchdown to nose us out, 20-13.

Minus the services of end Gerry Maloney, back Scott Rambach, and guard Will Little because of injuries, the team faced a strong, machine-like Middlesex eleven which rolled to two touchdowns in the second period and two more in the third. The Belmont ground attack was choked off, and the usually accurate air attack was held by what looked like a six man backfield. Romaine, the Middlesex halfback, was the best back we faced all year and paced his team to a 28-0 victory.

CAPT. DAVID HOWE

In the final game of the season at Brooks the team played a fine game. Gill made a sixty yard punt return for the first score. Captain Howe scored later in the period on a handout play, and a few minutes later raced thirty yards to put Belmont ahead, 18-0. Brooks scored soon afterwards on a long pass, and at the beginning of the second half added another touchdown. Belmont countered the next time it got the ball, Gill leading Hookway with a long pass down the middle; Brooks came right back with another one, also on a long pass. In the last period Gill sewed it up.

Fading to pass, he elected to run instead and covered the necessary eighteen yards, aided by opportune blocking by Lussier. The final score was 31-18.

Coaches Croke and Mattlage deserve a great deal of credit for their patience and hard work in behalf of Belmont Hill football.

Letters were awarded to Captain Howe, Captain-elect W. Little, Billings, Carpenter, Cline, Daniels, Flett, Gill, Hookway, Hurley, Lipkin, Lussier, Maloney, McDavitt, Pierce, Pike, Rambach, Stedfast, C. Strong, Turley, Ulfelder, Wigglesworth, and managers Alcaide and D. L. Clark.

SOCCER TEAM First row: Smith, Avellan, Clarke, Sawtell, Greene (Capt.), Bovey, Spencer, Coon, Govan. Second row: Cragg C., Dunn, Winger, Shane, Studley, Riley, Mr. Duncan, Mr. Whittier.

occer ,S) This year's soccer team, with a record of four victories and five defeats, gained fifth place in the Gummere Cup Soccer League, finishing ahead of Brooks, St. Mark's, and Browne and Nichols, but behind Noble and Greenough, Governor Dummer, Tabor, and Milton. Though the final record was only mediocre, the '49 team was definitely a corner, improving steadily throughout the season and finishing strong.

The team that took the field for the first game was greener than the grass they trampled underfoot. The only veterans were Captain Teddy *Greene at halfback; the fullback combination of the "old pros," Hayden Coon and "Mole" Spencer; and that master of dribbling, Joaquin Avellan, at forward. But Jack Shane came along to guard the goal, Sawtell and Bovey at the halves, and Riley, Studley, Harvey Smith, and Winger up front.

Later on, D. B. Clarke, Dunn, and Govan came into prominence.

Initial inexperience showed up in the game with Governor Durnmer, which was lost, 7-1.

WHITTEMORE WHITTIER, Coach

Our passing was very ragged, our charges weak and indecisive. Late in the game Avellan scored on a pass from Riley. The brightest spot was Captain Greene's great play.

In the next game we matched feet with Groton. Having learned the hard way against Dummer paid off, for the team had much more poise; they were outcharging the heavier Groton backs, controlling loose balls, and passing and dribbling with far greater certainty.

Goals were scored by Avellan, Riley, and Smith, and a fourth was called back. Captain Greene'again played a great game, and Coon at fullback repeatedly broke up the Groton attack. The game ended with Belmont ahead, 3-0.

Our first game with Nobles, eventual league champions, was a scoreless ball game through the first half; but then the backs caved in, for once, and Nobles scored three goals and might well have had more except for the miraculous saves by Shane in the goal. Avellan and Bovey fought hard up front, but we lost, 3-0.

In the St. Mark's game the teams were very evenly matched. Avellan scored in the first period. In the second, Riley faked the goalie out of position and rammed the ball into the nets. St. Mark's then got one in. The second half started with Belmont in control, but an aroused St. Mark's team made the fourth quarter a nightmare for the defense, but Clarke, playing his best game, Coon, and Shane held them scoreless and we won, 2-1.

The next contest involved a full day's trip to Marion. Tabor scored twice in the first six minutes. In the second period Tabor was held scoreless, but they broke loose for one each in the last two periods to beat us, 4-0. Another defeat, in our second game with Nobles, followed. A hard fought first half saw Nobles ahead, 1-0. In the third period Dick Winger scored a perfect goal on a cross from Riley, but Nobles came back in the fourth quarter to get two to make it 3-1.

One of the best games of the year was played when we met Milton. Coon and Riley were out of the game, but their places were well filled by Govan and Dunn. In the first minute a deflected penalty shot gave Milton a quick lead, and later in the first period a pass dribbled by Shane to give Milton the decisive goal. Belmont got its only goal when Avellan scored on a skillful penalty shot. The second half saw an inspired Belmont team

CAPT. THEODORE GREENE

take the field to outplay Milton, but our shots were off just enough to miss and we lost, 2-1.

The season ended with two victories. At Browne and Nichols the first half seemed to consist largely of polite passes and ineffective shots by both sides. Smith scored our only goal. In the third- period an easy shot got by Shane, and this was a blessing in disguise.

The team caught fire and scored three goals to wrap up the game, 4-1. Smith, Avellan, and Winger shared the honors.

The final game of the season, played at Brooks, was the best played and most exciting of the season. For the first half both teams battled fiercely to score but were thwarted.

In the third period Avellan found an opening and booted the only goal of the afternoon.

Letters were awarded to Captain Greene, Captain-elect H. Smith, Avellan, Bovey, D. B. Clarke, H. Coon,Dunn, Govan, Riley, Sawtell, Shane, Spencer, Studley, Winger, and manager C. Gragg. Since nine of these players are Sixth Formers, next year will see us starting off again a little shy of experience. We shall sorely miss Joaquin Avellan's expert ball handling, Ted Greene's driving play, and the fullback "old pros" mentioned above. However, this year's second team provides much material to take up the slack; and with the coaching of Mr. Whittier and Mr. Duncan we have no fears for the future of soccer at Belmont Hill.

HOCKEY TEAM First row: Perry, McLaughlin, Cleary, Pike (capt.), Riley, Ferguson, Devine. Second row: Mr. Koslowski, Pride, Gill, Casner, Tucker, Stedfast, Walters, Leahy, Mr. Maxwell.

Although just four lettermen remained from last year's undefeated team, Coaches•Koslowski and Maxwell fashioned a sextet that came close to being the equal of any Belmont Hill squad. Led by forwards Captain Pike and Gill and defensemen McLaughlin and Perry and bolstered by Riley and Casner and newcomers Walters and Cleary up front and by Ferguson at defense, the team had an abundance of scoring ability and a strong defense.

Devine and Aitken shared the goal tending.

The record of the 1950 team was twelve victories and two defeats. Unfortunately, one of the losses was to a spirited Middlesex team and cost us the championship of the new Independent School Hockey League. This was our only defeat in schoolboy competition.

The opening game found Belmont facing Boston Technical High. Captain Pike inaugurated the scoring. Then Riley got two quick goals, and in the second period Tucker and Cleary added two more. In the third, Walters got three on blistering shots to end

JOHN KOSLOWSKI, Coach

the scoring at 8-0. The following Saturday Belmont played Boston English, and again the score was 8-0. Belmont drove to a first period lead on two goals by Riley and one by Pike. Before the game was ended, Riley collected two more, Walters, Pike, and Gill one each.

The first defeat came at the hands of Harvard Freshmen. After leading, 3-2, in the second period,a fighting Belmont team was finally worn down by the powerful Freshmen, 8-3.

In the first league game Belmont overcame St. Mark's, 6-1. The scoring was split: Pike, Riley, and Cleary of the first line flashing the red light, as did Gill once and Walters twice for the second. Playing in a snowstorm at Andover, the team managed to fight through the drifts and come home with a victory, 3-2. First period goals by Gill and Casner and Perry's long screamer provided the edge. McLaughlin, Perry, and Ferguson played fine defensive hockey.

Showing some of their best form of the year, the team decisively defeated an excellent Noble and Greenough sextet in a league game at the Boston Arena, 6-2. Cleary had two goals; Casner, Pike, Riley, and McLaughlin one each. A reversal of form followed, and the outcome of the league game against Governor Dummer was doubtful throughout. Except for the first period when Cleary and Riley combined for two quick goals,the team played uninspired hockey. After a scoreless second period, Riley added the clincher to make the final score 3-1.

In the next game a hard-skating, determined squad from Middlesex won a 5-3 victory and the league championship. Belmont sorely missed defenseman McLaughlin, and the team was unable to generate a consistent attack.

Belmont bounced back in the next game and beat Milton Academy, 4-1. Perry, Gill, and Cleary spearheaded the attack with a goal apiece. Belmont Hill won again three days later, blanking traditional rival Brooks, 9-0.

The team next played Lexington High. The score was tied, 4-4, at the end of regulation time. Perry,Pike, Riley, and Casner had scored for us. In the sudden-death overtime Riley came in close on the Lexington goalie and gave Belmont the game, 5-4.

Belmont Hill kept intact its record of no losses to Groton in our hockey history with a

CAPT. DIXON PIKE

decisive victory. The Hillers, led by Perry, who set up four scores, blasted in five goals to win, 5-0. Cleary scored two,and George Ferguson, colorful defenseman, scored his first goal of the season on a blinding shot from the blue line.

The team next met the Boston city champions, East Boston High, and buried them, 9-2. The third period brought us six goals to sew up the game.

The team was invited to spend a week-end at Princeton; their host 1?k, s the Lawrenceville School, whose hockey team Belmont Hill played and defeated, 8-3. Off the ice, our hosts gave us a wonderful time. In the game, played at the Hobey Baker Memorial Rink, Riley scored four times, Casner, Pike, Cleary, and Gill once each. Some sort of record was set when Riley scored three goals in seven seconds of playing time.

Leader in assists was Cleary with 20, followed by Captain Pike with 13. These were the playmakers. Leaders in goals were Riley with 22, Cleary with 14, and Pike with 11.

Letters were awarded to Captain Pike, Captain-elect Casner, Aitken, Cleary, Devine, Ferguson, Gill, McLaughlin, Perry, Riley, Stedfast, Tucker, Walters, and managers Leahy and Pride.

BASKETBALL TEAM First row: Scanlan, Nazzaro, Hookway (capt.), Cline, Cranney. Second row: R. Blacklow, C. Strong, Shane, Studley, Mr. Croke.

dall The initial winner of the newly organized Independent School League basketball championship was Belmont Hill. After only five years of organized basketball at School, and some pretty discouraging moments, Mr. Croke this year put together a team that won thirteen games against three defeats and in the league lost only its first game and then went on to win eleven in a row.

The usual starting lineup was Captain Hookway and Cranney, forwards, Cline at center, and Scanlan and Nazzaro, guards.

Capable replacements were Shane, who substituted brilliantly for Cline when the latter was ill, and Cy Strong, Studley, Copeland, Manly, and Vrotsos.

The first two games of the season, not in the league, were easy victories. Rivers was beaten, 58-38, and Cambridge School, 61-13.

In the first league game we got our "comeuppance." Belmont was overwhelmed by a quick and skilled Milton team after leading during the first half. After the season was

WILLIAM CROKE, Coach

over, Mr. Keller wrote in the Alumni Bulletin: "Every championship team has to get some breaks in order to win. By and large, these boys made their own breaks, physically speaking, but to my mind they got a fine psychological break in losing their first league game to Milton. It was a 29-41 loss, following convincing non-league victories over Rivers and Cambridge School; but the main thing was that it took the pressure off, and early in the season got rid of any ideas of an undefeated season.

The team bounced back to overcome a hard-fighting St. Mark's quintet to win their first league victory, 32-25. In the next league game Belmont's fears of Noble and Greenough were dispelled by a decisive victory, 72-41. Bill Cline's ball handling and Chip Hookway's pass interception were too much for the visitors.

Hookway's 24 points were the highest Belmont score of the year.

The Governor Dummer game proved to be one of the most exciting games of the year.

With a second to play and the score tied, Scanlan swished a one-hander from the foul line to give Belmont its first victory over Dummer, 55-53. Nazzaro played excellent defensive basketball.

Belmont defeated a hard fighting but inexperienced Middlesex team, 54-36. The next game, with Browne and Nichols, was another contest won in the second half as Belmont came to life to win, 49-41. In our next game with Brooks, Belmont quickly gained a lead and was never in serious trouble to win, 39-26.

Through these games Hookway and Cline continued to be high scorers.

The next game was with a rising Nobles team and perhaps really won the championship. The odds were against us., since we were playing on the Nobles court and were without the services of ace Bill Cline because of illness. However, John Shane filled in ably at center and was high scorer with 16 points. We came from behind in the last minutes to win, 52-47.

Then came our two-game losing streak, fortunately to non-league teams. An overoptimistic Belmont five met a speedy Groton quintet on the home court and was soundly beaten, 56-38. We next travelled to Newport to play St. George's and took another licking, 67-43.

The rest of the season saw four straight victories and the clinching of the league

CAPT. HAROLD HOOKWAY

championship. The first of these four was the game of the year. Milton, leading the league, had just lost to St. Mark's; and if Belmont could take this game, the Hilltoppers would move into first place. After falling ten points behind in the first quarter, Bemont passed Milton in the final period and held a one point lead at the closing bell to win, 37-36.

Belmont then played host to an improved Brooks team, which almost upset the apple cart. We held on, though, to win, 38-34. Two one-sided victories over league opponents finished the season. Cline, Hookway and Shane continued to pile up points as we defeated St. Mark's, 62-45, and Middlesex, 65-38.

We should like to quote again from the Alumni Bulletin: "It was a well balanced outfit. We had a really stellar center; yet the team showed its all-round qualities by pulling out some crucial games when this player was side-lined by illness. We had capable reserves who time and again came through when the pressure was on. But more than that, this team had that extra drive, that psychological factor which makes a team come from behind and pull out the close ones."

After the basketball-hockey victory dinner, given and attended by the fathers of the members of the two teams, letters were awarded to Captain Hookway, Co-Captains-elect Cranney and Scanlan, Cline, Nazzaro, Shane, C. Strong, Studley, and manager R. Blacklow.

BASEBALL TEAM First row: Cleary, Cline, Walters, Lipkin, Rambach (capt.), Gill, Shaner, Hoolcway, Turley. Second row: Mr. Maxwell, Swift, Kingman, Ulfelder, Cranney, Shane, Scanlan, Nazzaro, Gray, Mr. Sawyer.

gaJektll With veterans returning to all positions except shortstop, left field, and first base, the baseball team got off to a fast start and won six of its first seven games. Until sloppy play and something that looked like indifference overtook the squad, it seemed that we were to have a great year; but a bad tag-end to the season left the team with a mediocre record of eight victories and six defeats. In the Independent School Baseball League we won four and lost three to finish in the middle of the pack.

The first game was played against Browne and Nichols and resulted in a 12-5 Belmont victory. Gill's four hits helped Franny Scanlan to his first win. The starting line-up had Gill behind the bat, Scanlan, Nazzaro, or Walters throwing, an infield of Hookway at third, Walters or Lipkin at short, Lipkin or Kingman at second, and Cranney at first, and an outfield from left to right of Shane or Ulfelder, Captain Rambach, and Shaner.

The team's first league contest saw Belmont

MAYNARD MAXWELL, Coach

Hill best defending champion Groton, 4-1.

Scanlan started and Walters relieved in the seventh, the pair holding Groton to two hits as Walters paced the attack with two doubles and a triple. But Belmont came a cropper in the next game as we attempted to take Milton on Patriots' Day. Bill Cline started, was the victim of an unearned run in the first, then lost control and walked five men in the second. Nazzaro relieved and Nash belted his third pitch for a grand slam and the ball game.

The final score was 13-1.

The week ended on a happier note. Scanlan beat Governor Dummer, 8-3. The high point of the game was a triple play, started

by Scanlan himself, to get out of his only serious trouble. Next to fall was Middlesex as Walters, until now a reliever, came on to hurl a two hitter. Belmont bats boomed, Rambach leading the parade with a triple, and we won, 11-1. St. Mark's was our next opponent. Scanlan and Walters again teamed for the victory, Walters getting credit for his second league triumph as he stopped St. Mark's, 7-4. Hookway came out of his batting slump to pace the Hill to victory with three hits and five stolen bases.

Bill Cline beat the Harvard Freshman "B" team, 8-7, in a game marked by nine Harvard errors. On Field Day Belmont dropped a 5-4 non-league game to Brooks, as a general listlessness seemed to overwhelm the team.

However, Belmont snapped out of its coma and turned in a good game when we played Nobles, even though we lost, 5-3, to the eventual league champions. Walters started and went all the way, having only one bad inning when he lost control and walked in a run.

Rivers was then taken into camp, 11-5, with Cline and Scanlan doing the pitching, Turley catching, and Ulfelder playing left field. Belmont met Brooks again the next Wednesday, this time in a league game, and crushed them, 15-3, to atone for the performance on Field Day. Scanlan was the winner, having a shutout until he was lifted in the ninth.

Belmont lost its final league game, to Roxbury Latin, in a ruinous eighth inning that saw Walters knocked out and Scanlan, who relieved, the victim of a flock of errors. Despite Walters's two home runs the final score was 13-8. The defeat left Belmont with a four and three record in the eight team league, good for fourth place behind Nobles,

Groton, and Milton, and ahead of St. Mark's, Roxbury Latin, Brooks, and Middlesex.

Belmont dropped two non-league games to end the season. Tabor's fast team, paced by a brace of homers by Hunter, took a close game, 8-5, after knocking Scanlan out in the first inning. Bill Nazzaro's fine relief job went for naught as Belmont's batters failed to produce enough runs. The final game was a nightmare of lackadaisical baseball. Governor Dummer finally won, 9-8, as Walters's support crumbled. The highlight of the game was Captain Ralmbach's three-run homer, our only hit off Samborslcil This was not a bad season: no record above .500 is bad. But it could have been better.

There are pleasant memories of it: Swifty's endless supply of gum, the least of his chores as an incomparable manager; the drive and spirit of Captain Rambach and of Jack Shaner; and most of all the patience and baseball "know-how" of Coaches Maxwell and Sawyer.

On Prize Day, Jimmy Gill, captain-elect, was awarded the Coaches' Base-running Trophy, and Hal "Sure-Fisted" Hookway received the Trophy for Greatest Improvement in Baseball.

Letters were awarded to Captain Rambach, Captain-elect Gill, Cleary, Cline, Cranney, Hookway, Kingman, Lipkin, Nazzaro, Scanlan, Shane, Shaner, Turley, Ulfelder, Walters, and managers Gray and Swift.

CREW Sitting: Moore, Dunn. First row: Sawtell, Pierce, Stetson, Barnes, Daniels (capt.), Staples, Dodge, Pride, Chase. Second row: T. Davis, Mr. Duncan, Mr. Whittier, Wilson.

Crew Although the crews won few races this year, it was a pleasure to match our best with fine crews and lose rather than pick on sure things. This spring the prestige of crew was advanced immeasurably by the happy addition of the redoubtable Mr. Whittier as assistant coach to the "old salt" of the Concord Navy, Skipper Roger Duncan, who has done such a fine job of coaching and has worked innumerable hours on our boathouse, boats, and other crew equipment. Although Mr. Whittier began as a novice, he quickly learned the ropes(we do use a few) and soon the placid basis of the Charles rang with the battle cry of "Watch those riggers!" Early practice on the machines prospered under this dual mastery, and the crew soon learned that we meant business.

Our first test of speed was with Noble and Greenough on home waters. Cheered on by a few hardy spectators, the crews took bad lickings. The third boat, though ably stroked

by Whitman, was outclassed by a Nobles crew

which did the half mile in 3:12. The second boat, with Captain Daniels at stroke, gave the Nobles boat a good run but lost by four and a half seconds in 2:58.5. The first boat, of Tom Sawtell, Ely Pierce, Tom Stetson, and Robin Barnes, coxed by the veteran Johnny Moore, put up a good fight but lost to a better crew by six seconds in 2:59.

All the boats went back to practice with redoubled vigor to prepare for one of our best competitors, Exeter. By now Mr. Whittier was more seaworthy, and we were fascinated by his debut as a coxswain with a fuming pipe clenched in his teeth. In the Exeter races we were handicapped by illness which took Dodge out of the second boat and Whitman and Thomas from the third. The third boat rowed against Exeter like men inspired, and although they lost by four and one half seconds, they finished in three minutes flat. The second boat met a similar fate. Exeter won in 2:49. The first boat race was a desperately close battle. Exeter found that they were unable to do much more than match a neat Belmont boat from the start to the last stretch.

Here Exeter beat our sprint with a spurt of power at a very high stroke. They proved their superiority by finishing in 2:44, five seconds, or about one half a length of open water, ahead.

TENNIS TEAM W. Green, Hurlbut, Billings (Capt.), Donovan, Grannis

Jenni4 This year's tennis team, in Belmont Hill's second season of interscholastic competition after a lapse of many years, won the right to be considered competitors in a major sport.

With the graduation of most of last year's team, coaches Howland and Jenney had planned simply to build for the future. But four Fourth Formers, Charlie Donovan, Pete Grannis, Neil Hurlbut, and Bill Green, came along to assist Captain Bob Billings in the top five spots. After losing the first three matches, the team then won four out of five to finish with a .500 average.

With the construction of the new addition to the Field House, one of the two School courts was torn up, and the other court, despite a refinishing, was not in top-flight condition. Once again, the Belmont Tennis Club very graciously offered the use of the club courts, but these courts were not playable until after the first match with St. Mark's, and the team had little or no practice until after its second match, with Middlesex.

Ai CHARLES JENNEY LEROY HOWLAND Co-Coaches

The lack of practicing time was very evident in the first two matches. The seedings were not yet accurate, and the players were not yet fully conditioned. Against a more experienced St. Mark's squad Belmont was easy prey, losing 9-0. Against Middlesex, however, Belmont put up a stubborn fight even though we lost, 6-3. Donoman and Hurlbut won thrilling three-set victories in the singles, and Hurlbut and Billings teamed for a victory in the doubles.

Belmont next dropped an abbreviated match at North Andover against Brooks, which was called on account of darkness.

Donovan, Grannis, and Green gave us an even split in the singles, but we dropped the one doubles match completed and therefore lost, 4-3.

Against Groton the famine ended. Despite the absence of Captain Billings, we won, 5-4.

Donovan, Grannis, Green, and Ward took four of the six singles, and Grannis and Green took the clinching doubles match. The team went on to beat Roxbury Latin, 4-2. Grannis, Green, and Denny Little won singles matches in straight sets, and Grannis and Green had little difficulty in winning their doubles match for the victory. This was an especially pleasing victory, since three of our best players, Billings, Donovan, and Hurlbut, were unable to play.

In a match with the Milton Academy second team we scored a clean sweep,7-0, five of the seven matches in straight sets. Perhaps another year we can take their first team!

Hurlbut, Donovan, Green, Grannis, and Little took the singles matches, and Donovan and Grannis and Green and Little played in the doubles.

However, a return match with St. Mark's showed that we still have room for improvement. St. Mark's had at least kept pace with us in improvement, and we went down to defeat, 7-0.

The last outing of the year was with Browne and Nichols, and this time we had the sweep in an abbreviated match, 5-0. Donovan, Hurlbut, and Billings won the singles matches, and Hurlbut and Grannis and Billings and Green took the doubles, all in straight sets.

CAPT. ROBERT

BILLINGS

Mr. Howland and Mr. Jenney, both very fine players themselves, showed a world of patience and skill in developing this team, and tennis is definitely on its way at Belmont Hill.

Letters were awarded to Captain Billings, Captain-elect Hurlbut, Donovan, Grannis, and Green.

Second3eam, Jooilall Under the guidance of Coaches Fisher and Loomis the Second Football Team enjoyed a successful season of four victories, one tie, and one defeat. Harrington, Hurlbut, Manly, and Captain Vrotsos were usually in the starting backfield, behind a line of Porter, Cabot, Devine, Whitman, Barnes, Sullivan, and Paine.

The Cambridge School varsity came to Belmont for the season's opener. Foster and Cleary, substitute backs, scored our touchdowns to win, 13-6. Belmont then traveled to Milton Academy to play a 6-6 game. A long pass from Vrotsos to Grannis set up the score, and another pass to Frye brought the marker.

Belmont returned home for the next game and defeated St. Mark's, 7-0. Nickerson led the attack and scored the only touchdown.

Porter took a pass for the point after. The next game proved disastrous as the visiting Belmont eleven was overpowered by Groton, 34-0, but we came back to beat Browne and Nichols, 12-0. Harrington scored the first touchdown. In the second half, Rochford at

quarterback pulled one out of the hat, a pass from Nickerson to Porter, for our second score.

The final game of the season was perhaps the most spirited and best played. With both the regular quarterbacks sidelined, Fran Scanlan stepped in to face an unbeaten, untied, unscored upon Governor Dummer eleven.

Dummer scored first, but a Scanlan to Hurlbut pass tied the score. Again Scanlan threw to Hurlbut for a touchdown, and in the fourth period Winty scored again on a quick-opener.

On the next kick-off, incidentally, Winty stole the ball from the arms of a very much surprised Dummer back, at which, it is reported, the Lexington Chief of Police remarked, "I always suspected there was a thief in that Harrington family." Anyway, we won a fine final victory, 21-6.

Numerals were awarded to Captain Vrotsos, Aitken, Barnes, Cabot, Devine; Foster, Harrington, Haskell, Hurlbut, Manly, Nickerson, Nowak, Paine, Porter, Rochford, Sullivan, and Whitman.

With an unfortunately small turnout of candidates in September, Coaches Jenney and Downes had difficulty in putting together eleven men at one time for the Seniors football team. The starting lineup for the opening game with Rivers included Kingman, J. Copeland, Ober, and Kirk in the backfield, Cogswell and Donovan at the ends, and Worthen, J. Strong, A. de l'Etoile, W. Green, and Thomas in the line. Later, Cleary, Alden, Draper, and Fleck were valuable additions.

In the opening game the two squads were well matched, and at the final whistle the two teams were deadlocked, 0-0, with Belmont on the Rivers five-yard line. The next week the Seniors were overpowered by Roxbury Latin, 19-12. Kingman and Cogswell scored for Belmont, on a pass interception and a completed

pass. Browne and Nichols was the next opponent, and with a revamped lineup the Seniors won, 14-6. Ober and Fleck scored the touchdowns. The next week St. Mark's took advantage of Belmont fumbles to win, 7-0.

Then Noble and Greenough proved to be too powerful for the Seniors. On a pass interception and a fifty yard march the visitors tallied the only touchdown of the game to win, 7-0.

In their final contest the Seniors played good football against a rugged Brooks eleven.

Overcoming a one touchdown deficit, Cleary and de l'Etoile scored, with Donovan and Cogswell making the extra points, to win, 166. This year's Seniors squad lacked numbers, but both the players and their coaches deserve great credit for a very creditable record.

The second hockey team again this year utilized every inch and minute of skateable ice.

Mr. Sawyer and Mr. Downes succeeded in forming a formidable team, which won five games and lost only two. The season's opener saw the squad divided. The day's results showed an even split: a 5-1 loss to Middlesex and a 5-1 victory over Milton. Bob MacArthur scored the lone goal at Middlesex, while Carpenter, Kingman, D. Little, Rochford, and Tucker hit the nets on home ice. The next day, led by Beckett, Greene, and J. Strong, the Hilltoppers invaded Governor Dummer to hand them a 3-1 defeat. Then a team of lower

formers met Lexington Junior High at the Skating Club and lost, 3-2, with Beckett and Strong flashing the red light. In a return game on Milton ice Govan and Watson scored two goals apiece, and Carpenter, Rochford, and Welles one each to rack up a 7-1 victory. The season ended with a 4-2 victory over Noble and Greenough. A third period rally won a close game, when Rochford, Strong, and Watson hit the strings.

Mr. Whittier's second basketball team got off to a slow start, losing four of the first six games; but then they went into high gear to win six out of seven for a very respectable season's record of eight victories and five defeats. After a narrow loss to Rivers, 30-26, and a one-sided victory over Cambridge School, 29-13, we lost two more, to Milton, 30-19, and to St. Mark's, 23-19. After an easy victory over Noble and Greenough, 50-25, we lost a heart-breaker to Governor Dummer, 28-25, after being tied at the three quarter mark. Then came a run of victories: over

Middlesex, 28-26; Browne and Nichols, 36-15; Noble and Greenough, 34-28; and St. George's, 29-27. A close loss to Milton, 37-33, was followed by two more victories: over St. Mark's, 37-25, and Middlesex, 49-37. Scores in return games are indicative of the progress made during the season. The individual star was Neil Hurlbut, high scorer in eleven of the thirteen games. Numerals were awarded to Haskell, Hurlbut, Hurley, Lussier, Meister, Paine, Pendergast, Tosi, Ulfelder, and manager Cooke.

After an 8-5 loss to Browne and Nichols, we crushed Milton, 16-1, but then lost a four inning game to Noble and Greenough, 6-1, and kicked away a game with Middlesex, 6-5.

Then things got better. We shelled Brooks, 16-8, and won another tight one from St. Mark's, 5-3. A second loss to Middlesex, 7-2, was our last defeat. Five victories followed.

We defeated Cambridge School, 6-3, and a

four run rally in the ninth beat Brooks, 7-6.

Studley and Cogswell paced the attack. Governor Dummer fell before a 20 hit barrage, 24-3. Bill Cleary got six hits. The return game at home with Dummer was a different matter.

We got just one hit, a double by Studley; but that was enough,since de l'Etoile pitched a nohitter to win, 1-0. An 8-5 victory over Browne and Nichols, reversing the score of our early loss, ended a fine season. Numerals were awarded to AveIlan, Beckett, Cogswell, A. de rEtoile, Hurley, Meister, Riley, J.

in,trainu,ral Ath,leticJ Intramural athletics continue to play a very important part in Belmont Hill activities.

This year on Prize Day Bob Paine came forward to receive the Intramural Trophy for the Hawks, since he has been an outstanding member of that club. There was, as usual, a long and hard-fought battle for the championship.

Touch football had a very brief life in the fall as rain and mud allowed only twelve games to be played. The omnipotent Meese, a perennial favorite in this sport, bowed out to a strong and fast Hawks squad (powered

by Mr. Loomis), while the Cats and Frogs were trampled by the two giants of the gridiron.

Volley ball proved to be the most protracted sport of the whole intramural program as forty-six games were played. This year's powerful Hawks team, with many veterans, won going away. The lowly Frogs jumped into second place, closely followed by the Meese. Incidentally, the advancing age of the faculty was clearly shown when the Sixth Form All-Stars took the old men into camp twice in the annual volley ball tournament.

Basketball was as successful as ever, though the hockey varsity was forbidden by Mr. Kos to play for fear of injury. After numerous scrimmages, the Hawks and Meese, well stocked with second team material, were tied for first, with the Cats third and the Frogs in their usual position.

The hockey season was scarcely longer than last year's season of two days, as only eight games were played. When the ice had melted away, the Meese were on top of the pile, followed by the Cats and Frogs, while the lordly Hawks were discovered in last place.

Bud Staples, representing the Meese, was awarded the hockey trophy on Prize Day. Intramural riflery again showed itself to be an important sport, as many high scores were turned in. The Frogs, old hands in the art of shooting, led with 380 points, amassed by Grozier and Maloney with 96 each and Barnes and Lussier with 94 each. Only one point behind came the sharp-eyed Hawks, led by Cogswell, who blasted a perfect 100 and walked off with the intramural riflery trophy.

Going into the baseball season, it was anybody's guess as to the winner of the year's Intramural Trophy. Either the Meese or the

Hawks could win this coveted honor by becoming top team in the bat and glove tournament, and the other clubs were not completely out of the running. Mr. Croke complicated things by adopting the policy this year of stocking his junior varsity ball team with material from the intramurals; hence the competition was wild and woolly, and the coaches never knew whether the second baseman or center fielder would be on tap next day or not. Nevertheless, the system was good: several boys graduated to the second team and there, under Mr. Croke, gained experience that furthered their development as potential members of the first team.

This year, too, the umpires were older boys, chosen by Commissar of Intramural Baseball Funk on a voluntary basis, with the surprising result that there were fewer arguments than in the past. Special credit should be given to Carpenter, Coon, McLaughlin, and Stedfast for their excellent handling of the games.

When the next to the last bats had been broken, the Hawks, Meese, and Cats were all tied for first place, while the Frogs had unhappily played doormat for the other teams.(Mr. Funk, a long-time rooter for the Athletics, and coach of the Frogs, plans to be buried along side Connie Mack under the dugout at Shibe Park.) There seems to be some controversy as to what happened in the final week of the season, but the official results are that the Hawks won the championship by a single game, with the Meese one game back and the Cats two. (The adviser to this Yearbook, who in his youth coached the first team, in the era before Keller and Maxwell, is still sure his Hawks won, but perhaps not. Anyway, Mr. Fisher's Meese and Mr. Turnbull's Cats, the defending champions, made a great drive for the pennant.)

On Prize Day Bob MacArthur, star pitcher of the Hawks who won three games in four days in the last week of the season, received the baseball trophy on behalf of his team.

But it is unquestionable that the intramurals this year have shown great competitive spirit, fine sportsmanship, and improvement in ability on the part of the boys partaking in them.

Future second and first teams will certainly benefit as a result.
