Text from Pages 1 - 96 of the 1937 volume:

Presented to THE BELMONT HISTORICAL SOCIETY AptnJP 2a 15 |j £ CLASS of 1937 THE PIONEER BELMONT HIGH SCHOOL SB™ ■ Mi E ■■■ ■ to 1 if ' in fl i 7 1 i Jy 1 1 hi:.! PHH � FOREWORD ♦ I X PUBLISHING The Pioneer , the first yearbook to be com- piled in Belmont High School since 1926, it has been the aim of the staff to record in permanent form such happenings as may prove of lasting interest, and to present, as accurately as possible, a composite picture of the year ' s accomplishments. We have endeavored to make this a volume of retrospection, to afford a means of recapturing the spirit of Belmont High School when the future shall dim our memories, and to make it live again as it did in those student days which we are about to leave. If, because of our initiative, the Pioneer becomes a permanent institution in the school we shall feel that our efforts, however insignificant they may seem in comparison with those of the future, will have been permanently rewarded. In all sincerity we hope that our work will meet with the approval and commendation of our classmates, who, by reason of their unselfish support, have been the real power behind whatever success we may have attained. T. K. NEWELL DEDICATION r T ' 0 MR. THOMAS K. NEWELL, our cap- ■ able adviser, for his untiring effort and enthusiastic encouragement, we dedicate the premier issue of The Pioneer.

Q TWENTIETH REUNION— CLASS OF 1937 Belmont Country Club June 11, 1957 N O FURTHER announcement than this small card sent to each member of that most illustrious of all classes, 1937, was necessary to assure an almost perfect attendance at the reunion on June 11. As each “old grad arrived, he was greeted by the busy chairman of arrangements, Eddie Devine, manager of the Red Sox, the present World ' s Series Champions. Eddie ushered everyone down the receiving line where Don Scorgie, apparently very much at ease in his natty Admiral’s uniform, was standing next to Coach Bill Burke who was bragging about his Rose Bowl football team. Marguerite MacKay, the class secretary, was discussing her latest book on psychology with Barbara Stoddard, the newly appoin ted president of Smith College, her alma mater. After passing through the receiving line, everyone scattered into interested, merry groups. Ruth Kelley was proudly telling of little Ruthie’s new tooth to Martha Kelsea who interrupted to show Junior ' s pulse (Junior grows more like his father every day). Charles Gates, the well-known historian, engaged Page Fifty-two in a heated discussion with Frank Lewis concerning a debate on “Capital Punish- ment vs. Study Hall” which Charles recently judged. Frank is a prominent criminal lawyer and he has his own views on the subject. Over in the corner a group of bookloVers were gathered. The co-authors, Willard Littlehale and Harold Small, busily autographed their popular book “W hat to Feed the Growing Hoy.” Donald Hubbard Freeman, the winner of the Swan Poetry Award seemed little changed by fame and was easily recognized by his much-publicized flowing tie and long hair. Douglas Orr joined the literary ranks and explained to Muriel Jenkins that his best-seller “High School Daze” was an autobiographical account of his educational career. Muriel heads the teaching staff at Belmont High, preparing students for their English College Boards. The new arrivals, Dorothy Farey and Paul Prelack have hurried to the Country Club, delayed by the numerous curtain calls at the close of the drama “La Pattutti,” written by the leading Broadway playwright, Elizabeth Davisson. George Sloan, the respected theatre critic was also in the party and unreservedly praises Libby. Shouts of laughter issuing from the dining room drew everyone’s attention to “Itchie” Whiting who was recounting his adventures in the thirty day bicycle race. “Itchie” owes his success to his early training of pedalling up Washington Street in nothing flat. Salvatore Toste, “The King of the Roads,” having hitch- hiked from Texas to attend the reunion has decided to “hitch up” with Itchie on a bicycle built for two. Pouring tea (?) at the head table in the best Belmon- tian manner, was Louise Birch who has just returned from India where her mis- sionary husband is stationed. Returning on the same boat with her was Made- moiselle Hubbard, fashionable modiste, who had been viewing the styles designed by Eleanor O’Neil the promising Schiaparelli. Mademoiselle Hubbard has made elaborate plans for her fall fashion show to be modelled by Betty Elroy, Helen Atwell, Shir ey Parker, Eileen Murphy, and Edna Sweeney, all fair Belmont demoiselles. Over by the punch bowl, the eligible bachelors, Walter Ward and “Mushy” M aver, were renewing old acquaintances. Walter, quite dapper with his carna- tion, denies the rumor in the society columns linking his name with Beacon Hill’s Mary Alice Nelson. Quentin’s stable of thoroughbred horses are his pride and joy and he is the honored possessor of many blue ribbons. His ace jockey, Gerry Yetman, was thrown during the steeple chase and is limping around with a sprained ankle. Nancy Jones married a “gentleman farmer and as enthusiastic as ever, is describing the fun of chicken raising to Vina MacLean, who finds her duties as the wife of an army officer very numerous. Vina, however, does enjoy chaperon- ing the West Point hops. Dick Hartwell applied his high-pressure sales talk in order to sell a Ford V-16 car to the great newspaper man, Lester Hawkins, now president of the Hawkins Associated Syndicate, while John Everett, textile manufacturer, promised the financial backing for Richard Dolbear’s latest invention, the “Robot Mind.” Page Fifty-three As a relaxation after such serious conferences, the entertainment committee headed by Dan Kenney, the versatile piano player, presented Leo Atamian’s jazz band, (’laddie MacDonald, Gene Krupa’s successor, was featured at the drums, while “Evie” Greenleaf, the violinist and A1 Gorman, the sax player harmonized together. As an added attraction, Anna Jevelekian, radio star of the “Betty Davies Do-Xut Hour” program sang many popular song hits reminis- cent of 1937. In another group were — Loraine O’Hara, head of the Boston Y. Y. C. A., and Bob Parry, director of the Parry tunnel recently constructed under the Charles River, Dan Lear, editor of a Broadway gossip sheet, was just about to relate an interesting anecdote when a disturbance at the door interrupted everyone. Jimmy Hyde, the commanding officer at West Point had forgotten his invitation and was having difficulty convincing Guy Black, the head doorman, of his identity. Jimmy certainly looked different in his full dress uniform, com- plete even to sword. After Jimmy ' s late arrival, Mary Nercessian, Secretary of Labor in Presi- dent Reynolds cabinet, expressed the regrets of the President who was unable to attend due to a peace conference with Afghanistan. Charlotte Douglass sent a cablegram explaining that she was playing in the international tennis matches at Wimbledon, England. John Carroll was “among those missing” as his por- trait of President Reynolds was being unveiled at the dedication of the new Chicago Art Museum . At the end of the announcements, a hurried telephone call came from Irving Gay and Jack Gough explaining that their car broke down at Waverley Oaks but to wait for them, they’d run over. Doc. Lois Blanchard, the first woman to receive an honorary degree from Harvard, was playing an exciting game of tic-tac-to on one of the tablecloths with David Grindell. They were constantly interrupted by Connie Arnold’s “kibitzing.” Connie has been the country’s foremost race driver since she broke Sir Malcolm Campbell’s record the day after graduation. Her mechanic, Jean Miller, tried to persuade Emily McGonagle, the successor to Emily Post, to ride home with them, but Emily’s husband was sending the limousine for her. Finally, at a signal from Bradford Lang, everyone assembled on the steps of the Country Club to have their pictures taken. With self-conscious looks and much nervous fidgeting, the alumni “smiled pretty for the birdie. At the click of the camera, a regretful sigh escaped from the friendly group — the reunion was over. With renewed promises and hasty last minute reminders, the classmates slowly retraced their steps and headed homeward. Then, as the echoes of the laughing good-byes still lingered, the twentieth reunion became the happiest of all lasting memories. Dave Romsey — Margaret Porter. Page Fifty-four Page Fifty-five FOOTBALL W ITH only six light lettermen as a nucleus around which to build his team Coach Newell must have looked forward to a disastrous season when he gazed upon the stiff schedule lined up for his gridiron forces in 1936. The first three games saw two defeats; the first of these was inflicted with considerable difficulty by the strong Weymouth team which remained unbeaten throughout the season. Following this hard struggle the team came back with a vengeance, and after being defeated in a weird contest with a heavy Win- chester team began a drive to the Middlesex League title which was culminated by a hard-earned triumph over Lexington in a game marked by the success of the tricky Belmont offense. Although outweighed at least twenty-five pounds per man, this scrappy out- fit gave a potent Arlington team a considerable argument before dropping the decision by one lone touchdown. This battle was the season ' s thriller. Completely outclassing a befuddled and amazed Watertown team, Belmont ended the season in a sea of mud and a blaze of glory, by thoroughly trouncing their ancient rivals in a game long to be remembered as the wettest and coldest debacle that the boys ever played through. The following seniors received letters: Co-Captains Burke and Woolfrey, Amodeo, Casey, Everett, Hyde, Johnson, Itiordan, Romano, Scorgie, Shea, Sliney, Shapiro. The schedule was as follows: Belmont 0 Weymouth 12 Belmont 12 Belmont 0 Belmont 7 M aynard 8 Winchester 19 Stoneham 6 Belmont 1. Belmont 25 Belmont 13 Belmont 6 Belmont 6 Watertown 0 Concord Lexington Arlington Framingham 6 7 14 0 League Games. Page Fifty-six BASEBALL T HE 1937 baseball season comes in with a large question mark hanging over it. In ’3(5 this team was somewhat of a headache for Coach Harris; for each succeeding game brought more hard luck. The first half of the schedule saw Belmont holding doggedly to the cellar position. Meanwhile, their star pitcher became ineligible and Captain Joe Morris, All-Middlesex catcher, left school. By mid-season, however, no more changes were being made and the team began to function smoothly together. Of the six remaining league games they lost but one; that to Lexington, league champs. This put them in a tie for second position. The team has yet, however, to avenge beatings at the hands of Water- town and Arlington. A question remains as to whether they can begin again where they left off last year. Only three lettermen return to represent the Senior class. First and foremost is Captain Eddie Devine, who combines a potent bat with an uncanny ability on the pitcher ' s mound. Irv Gay, returning to third base, is a master at the art of laying bunts and a dependable fielder. The third is Don Scorgie, utility infielder and outfielder last season. Three other seniors seem likely prospects; namely Jack Shea, second baseman, Bill Burke at left field, and Bob Gilmore, pitcher. Outstanding among the juniors is catcher “Toots” Thomas, one of the best hitters in the league. A repetition of his .421 average would be useful in- deed. Joe Rizzo returns to shortstop and another sophmore, Bruce Cargen, seems likely to hold the third outfield post. At this stage only one sophomore seems sure of a first string job. Lanky Webber has shown class in his work around first base. Page Fifty -seven GIRLS’ BASKETBALL T HE GIRLS’ basketball schedule this year consisted of b oth interclass and varsity games. The former contests afforded a method of testing the less- experienced players in real competition without necessitating placing them in the varisty line-up. Under the capable supervision of Miss Ellison, who, during the absence of M iss Hill directed its activity, the squad perfected many new plays, and de- spite the seeming lack of balance in the scores, the games were nearly all well contested. During the course of the season, C aptain Margaret Porter distin- guished herself by her unusual play; also, the rest of the team deserves credit for its play, which was certainly of a satisfactory calibre. As the varsity team was composed entirely of seniors, next year’s team will face the difficult task of effecting a complete reorganization, and forming an entirely new sextet. However, a great deal is expected from the capable substi- tutes. Letters were awarded to the following seniors: Captain Margaret Porter, Manager Ethel Bornhofft, Dorothy Farley, Nancy Jones, Barbara Sexton, Bar- bara Stoddard, Lois Blanchard. The schedule was Belmont as follows: 0 Melrose 3 (Interclass) Belmont 1 Lexington 2 (Interclass) Belmont 13 Winchester 43 Belmont 12 Arlington 32 Belmont 18 Melrose 33 Belmont 19 Lexington 32 Page Fifty-eight FIELD HOCKEY O NLY two members of the undefeated varsity team of 193o returned to the field hockey wars in 1936; but despite this apparent lack of experience, the team of last fall played well enough to win three games, while dropping two, and tying two others. That this green aggregation was able to more than break even in seven games, is a tribute to the expert coaching of Miss Hill, and to the aggressive leadership of Margaret Porter and Betty Davies, Captain and Man- ager respectively. Despite this oft-recurring handicap of inexperience Miss Hill has never failed to put a well-coached and perfectly poised team on the field for every game. Field hockey is a game of few scoring opportunities, if the activity along this line during the past season can be taken as a general criterion. For in seven games, only ten goals were scored, six by Belmont, and four by opponents. Of the total, no more than two were scored in any one game. The last three games of the season were deadlocks, with this year’s varsity managing to tie the unbeaten crew of 1936 in the first alumnae game in the field hockey annals of Belmont High. Five seniors received varsity letters: Captain Margaret Porter, Manager Betty Davies, Grace Ann Hubbard, Lois Blanchard, and Barbara Sexton. The schedule was as follows: Belmont 2 Lexington 0 Belmont 0 Watertown 1 Belmont 1 Winthrop 0 Belmont 0 Concord 0 Belmont 0 Melrose 2 Belmont 1 Winchester 1 Belmont 1 Alumnae 1 Page Fifty-nine BOYS’ BASKETBALL T HE 1936-7 basketball team was called out by C’oach Wenner early in De- cember for the express purpose of preparing it for the tough fourteen game schedule which lay ahead. As a result, the whole outfit was capable of roaring along on all cylinders by the time the season opened. Four victories in succes- sion, the last over a strong Arlington team, certainly augured well for the re- maining ten battles; but when the next four games showed a complete reversal of form, it was evident that the team as a whole lacked the general stability nec- essary for consistency. This may be explained by the fact that of the five men who were generally considered as starters, only one, Captain Gay, was a senior. The others, although they did not lack competitive experience, gave evidence by their occasionally erratic play that inconsistency, not lack of ability, was to be the bugaboo of the team. Four wins in the last six games, making the sea- son’s record eight and six, did little to alter this belief. Next season, as seniors, these fellows should settle down to normalcy and do justice to their unquestioned potentialities. Captain Irving Gay, and his successor, Leo Donahue, were the outstanding members of last winter’s quintet, although no one of the five could be singled out as responsible for any defeats the team suffered. The senior lettermen are: Gay, Atamian, Flynn, Schreiber, Jameson, and Toste (Manager). The schedule was as follows: Belmont IS Wellesley 8 Belmont 22 Wakefield 25 Belmont 43 Stoneham 22 Belmont 26 Stoneham 13 Belmont 29 Wakefield 10 Belmont 21 Watertown 18 Belmont 33 Arlington 27 Belmont 20 Winchester 32 Belmont 1.5 Winchester 18 Belmont 25 Lexington 15 Belmont 17 Lexington 29 Belmont 28 Reading 32 Belmont 12 Heading 25 Belmont 21 Melrose 13 Page Sixty HOCKEY T HE afternoon of February 13 brought to a close the most disastrous cam- paign in the annals of Belmont hockey. Handicapped by a lack of players sufficiently fast to cope with their speedy opponents and by a lack of practice to develop the material on hand, Belmont took possession of last place the open- ing day and remained firmly intrenched there. The close of the season found the team with the unenviable record of ten defeats and not a single victory. The team is a member of the Greater Boston Interscholastic League and has the good fortune of being able to play each Saturday afternoon at the Boston Garden. Much credit should be given to Captain John Shea for his inspired leader- ship and play. In the late stages of the year, the group showed great improve- ment, casting visions of success a year hence. As only Shea and Everett are lost from this past season ' s outfit, Coach Harris looks forward to a first division position in 1937-1938. At a meeting after the close of the season ' s activities, Hugh Sharkey and Joseph Rizzo were elected co-captains. Senior lettermen: Everett, Devine, Johnson, Macdonald, Shea. The schedule was as follows: Belmont 0 Belmont 2 Belmont 2 Belmont 1 Belmont 2 Rindge 1 Arlington 7 Cambridge 11 Medford 2 Stoneham 9 Belmont 2 Belmont 1 Belmont 0 Belmont 1 Belmont 1 Melrose 6 Newton 2 Cambridge 3 Rindge 5 Arlington 4 Page Sixty-one TRACK T RACK is one sport which, during the past few years, has always compiled a consistently good record at Belmont. And while many fine runners have competed in the red and blue colors during this period, it is undoubtedly true that the largest share of credit for this string of successes belongs to Coach Wcnner, whose expert tutelage has fitted many fellows to go on to college and enabled them to compete with the best in the country. This year, with a majority of lettermen returning, hopes are high for a duplication of last spring’s undefeated record. Co-captains Powell and Hyde have only to maintain the fast pace they set in ’36 and they will corral many points in the middle distance runs; other lettermen in these events are Reynolds and Taylor, both of whom are certain to be close on the heels of their captains. Besides these four, other returning lettermen are Arico, Gilley, Brassil and Rior- dan. In addition, the sophomore and junior classes are well represented in this year ' s team, a fact which would seem to assure at least two more good seasons in track and field before any dearth of material will arise. This season will find two new events added to the track and field competition, namely, pole-vaulting and hurdling. Coach Wenner will run up against the prob- lem of inexperience in initiating the pole vault, but current indications are that the squad possesses several excellent hurdlers. As we went to press with the Pioneer, a late flash informed us that on April 15, Belmont overpowered a strong Brookline track and field outfit by a point total of 1 Hi to 38, in an interclass meet, the first of the season. Page Sixty-two SOCCER A LTHOUGH the won and lost record of the 1936 soccer outfit failed to land the team any higher than third place in the Middlesex League stand- ing, it is deceiving in that it does not reflect the true calibre of Captain Joe Lin- ton ' s fighting hooters. After a string of fairly easy early season victories the eleven ran up against the omnipresent injury jinx, which sidelined such top- performers as Frank Comery and Tommy Howarth. As a result, later games found the team definitely on the toboggan, as evidenced by surprising losses to inferior aggregations which had earlier proved easy victims. On the surface, the season was a disappointing one. It is no secret that Coach Wenner had hopes of a far better showing by a team which indisputably had latent class. Taking damaging injuries into account, however, it must be admitted that they did as well as could be expected. The line-up did have its weak spots; but these were more than offset by the superior ability of the majority of the regulars, as demonstrated by the selection of Thomas, Luetters, Linton, Toste, and Howarth to the All-Scholastic soccer eleven. Of these five, three are juniors and have one more year of competition. They arc Thomas, Luetters, and Captain-elect Howarth, who should lead one of the best teams in the circuit next fall.

Our activities during the year have been varied and interesting. Marjorie Wood, Chairman of the Program Committee, has furnished delightful enter- tainments for our monthly meetings. Mrs. Parks and Miss Dorothy Stromberg offered readings, and Ilovey ' s kindly furnished the gowns for our highly pleasing fashion show. The talks by some of our older Belmontians about their various experiences in college life originated a unique program. At Christmas, the club was respon- sible for the extremely amusing play, “The Pampered Darling, which was pre- sented in the assembly hall before the entire school. Our outstanding achieve- ment of the year was the successful tea dance, with Charlotte Douglas as the efficient chairman. Then, too, we must not forget the fine entertainments fur- nished by our own talent. We sent flowers to Miss Miller, at Christmas, in appreciation and in memory of her devoted and self-sacrificing service of so many years for the betterment of the Belmontians. To Miss Lanigan, we are most grateful for her staunch sup- port and friendly attitude. We know our successors will carry on where we have left off and maintain the high standards of the Belmontians through the years to come.
