Senator P. C. (’rafts went into seclusion at his hotel after hearing the startling news, for it had seemed evident that the president would upprove the hill. On March 1, last. Senator Crafts introduced the hill which if passed would have rendered illegal the sale of cigarettes to high school pupils. Crafts was ardently upheld in his fight by Senator Northrup (M ass.

Boston, June 14—The Hotel Bradford studios of Station WAAB were the scene of a riot late this evening as two armed gunmen, giving the names of James (iateley and I-eo Yet man, held up the announcer, Walter Brcslin, as he was about to introduce Buster Miller, appearing for the first time on the new Carpenter Canned Crabmeat program. Miller outwitted the two by quickly seizing a chair and throwing it at them and then retrieving their guns. Brcslin dashed for the nearest telephone and called the police. The gunmen were taken to headquarters where they are lieing held for questioning. As yet no explanation has been given for the holdup. Rumor has it that Mr. Miller was to give a talk on the subject of Jurenile Delinquency, which (lately and Yetman were trying to prevent, no doubt fearing exposure.

Murphy Sports Football With a nucleus of three twoyear lettermcn, commonly known as the “three horsemen,” Arico, Rizzo, Dwyer, great expectations were held for the 1987 fall edition of the Red and Blue. The aggregation did more than fulfill prognostications by finishing second in the Middlesex League and a signal triumph over Watertown. Belmont was extremely impressive in the initial contest with Weymouth, by playing a scoreless deadlock. In the next encounter, Belmont journeyed to Maynard where it gave further evidence of great power by winning 19-0. The Red and Blue steamrollered I exington until the scoreboard read 19-6. In its next engagement, Belmont ran up against Winchester. The Winchester stalwarts combined power ami speed to emerge the victor 19-6. The prevalence of injuries developed the Framingham game into a disheartening contest with Belmont on the short end of a 40-6 score. The following Saturday found Belmont taking a slow contest from Concord. The Arlington eleven turned in a 14-0 defeat for us a moral victory. In the Stoneham game the Red and Blue warriors shellacked the visitors 25-6, with the backfield wielding the major portion of the brush. The 1987 Thanksgiving result was a glorious smashing victory for the Belmont football team by the score of 19-6. The Red and Blue play was sensational throughout with the Arico, Foley and Rizzo combinations in the backfield and line working in perfect coordination. There is no one person entirely responsible for the success of our football team, however, our efficient coach and super strategian. Mr. Thomas K. Newell, deserves much credit. 146 Soccer Far from the glare of the limelights, pushed to the sidelines by the razzle-dazzle” glory of football, the Soccer team has had its most successful season. Piloted by Coach Mel Wenner, the team has fought its way through the makeshift schedule of an unorganized league, to seven victories, including a super-colossal triumph over Mr. Newell's mighty gridiron stars. This fall a seemingly hopeless task facts! Mr. Wenner, for he was handicapped by having the smallest Soccer squad yet seen at the High School, but however, he developed the material on hand and produced one of the best teams he has ever had. Captain Tommy Howarth was a splendid leader, he was literally all over the field filling up gaps in the defence, passing accurately to his forwards, and always yelling words of encouragement anti advice to his teammates. In the forward line, Johnny Luetters, the high-scorer on the team with eight goals chalked up to his credit, deserves praise for his aggressive spirit, elusive dribbling, and deadly drives. These two seniors will be sorely missed next year. Koss, a natural soccer player, is noted for his fearlessness on the offence and skill in dribbling has elevated him high in the opinion of his fellow players. In fact, he was unanimously elected as the 1938 captain. With such men as Captain-elect Koss, Morandi, Bornhofft, Prentice C'askie, Canton, Ray, and last, but not least, little Kay Ripley, Belmont will surely be leading the league in 1988. This winter a meeting of several High School coaches will be held, and Mr. Wenner has all hopes that a new league with keen competition will be formed. 4 48 } Girls’ Field Hockey Keeping in mind the glorious record of the undefeated team of 1985, the hockey squad of this year, under the able supervision of Coach Jane Hill, started their season with the largest group of prospective players in the history ofBcl-niont Field Hockey. To Miss Hill is due profound commendation for her patient leadership. After several weeks of hard work, on the part of both Miss Hill and the girls, the team met Lexington on the home field for the first contest of the season. Although both teams played well, Belmont held the upper hand the entire game and the Ilillites came out on top. Malden then came over with intentions of victory but Belmont undermined their intent and again they went off the field with flying colors. The following week Miss Hill led her rapidly improving players against Arlington, which turned out to be a faster game than the preceding ones; the Arlington girls scored for victory in the last few minutes of the game. The fates favored Watertown in the next game and the final score was 1-0. The squad then traveled out to Concord and by superior playing achieved a win. Reassured by their victory, the girls went into the Winchester game, the final of the season. In spite of the spirit of the Belmont girls, Winchester scored a victory. The girls elected as their leaders for next year, Winifred Saurwein as captain, anti Sadie Inferrara as manager. Those receiving letters are: Captain Agnes Curtis Sadie Inferrara Manager Dorothy Groner Barbara Wilband Lucia Griffith Winifred Saurwein Joan ( alley Mary Linton Gertrude Dwyer Ruth Chaffee Alba Leone Anne Mac Knight Anne Prescott Mary Foglcr Nancy Lowe Katherine Kingston ( 50 } Basketball While the snow lay heavy on the ground, the Belmont High Basketball team made indoor court history with one of the most successful seasons on record, with Captain Leo Donahue, Ralph Thomas, and Bill Parks, veterans of two campaigns. Seniors Prescott Crafts ami ill Cannon, with two seasons of play under their belts, and Frank Coolc. The Belmont quintet began the 1938 season impressively, whirling through the first five games undefeated. However, the next three encounters were registered on the red side of the ledger, dropping one to the annual nemesis inchester, a hcartbreaker to a vastly improved Watertown five, by the difference of one foul shot in the last two seconds of play, and a loss to the Concord quintet. With spirit exemplified by Coach Mel Wenner, Belmont rolled through its next six contests in championship style, winning five of them, and avenging the previous loss to Winchester, by making the victory one of decisive margin. The effort of three season’s play resulted with Belmont completing its schedule to become co-holder of the Middlesex league title, with a league record of nine wins and three losses. The season was officially closed with the presentation of the trophy of the Middlesex league championship to the school and letters awarded to the following: Gms. Gls. Fix. Fix. Ralph Thomas, rf 14 77 18 174 Ixro Donahue, lg 14 48 46 84 William Parks, c 14 33 14 78 Willard Cannon, If 14 18 10 46 Franklin Code, rg 13 9 6 44 Ross Burns, util 8 6 3 15 Prescott Crafts, util 13 0 6 6 151 } Girls’ Basketball Although the girls’ basketball team failed to win all their games this year it had a successful season as far as enjoyment is concerned. Having practised under Coach Jane Hill’s direction throughout December, the girls opened their season with Lexington on January 1). and in the three class games tied the visitors. In the second class game with Cambridge Latin, Belmont lost a very close game. The following week the varsity team was picked to play its first game with Winchester at Winchester, but unfortunately lost this game to a team which went through the season undefeated. After dropping another game to Arlington, the Belmont girls finally trimmed Concord 4.5-5. The last game with Lexington was so close it proved a halt! one to lose. The team had as its captain Katherine Kingston, a forward and as its manager Anna Kckler, a guard. Those girls who participated in the varsity games and received their letters are: Barbara Shanlev Sadie Inferarra Anne MacKnight Anne Prescott Anne Gilberto Anna Kcker Dorothy (ironcr Mary Fogler Katherine Kingston 153 } Hockey The 1937-1938 Belmont High Hockey Team did not fare so well in the fast Greater Boston league, winning only two games and tieing one, but it can look hack on one or two bright spots of the season with satisfaction. For the past two years or so Belmont had gone gloomily on its way losing consistently, in fact, there were nothing but goose eggs laid in the Belmont win column. This year’s team was running true to form until they met their archrival. Arlington. Playing inspired hockey they sprung one of the biggest upsets of the season, winning three to one. After that Dame Fortune smiled no more. Although giving most of the other teams good battles, Belmont was being slowly relegated to the cellar, its customary spot. However, in a nip-and-tuck combat with its co-cellarite, Newton, Belmont came from behind to win three to two, and lo! lifted itself from the bottom of the league. While the team will lose two senior lettermen, the stellar co-captains .bn Rizzo and Hugh Sharkey, optimistically look forward to more successful seasons. “Bud” Henry, speedy forward, has been elected to lead the sextet for 1938-1939.

Sorely lacking in Seniors, the balance of Sophomores and Juniors was especially high, but Jefferson, Airco, Taylor, Fontaine, Page, upheld the upper classmen’s honors. Jim Jefferson flung a mighty piece of iron as lie constantly out-tossed his opponents with the shot. Ted Arico zipped past hundreds to the tune of 10.03 but was inched out by Bob Walker in the broad jump. This hefty lad is the glint in his coach's eye for many cleanups in next year’s meets. That Carrol man leisurely loped his half miles as the other teams tasted always of his heels. All trackmen have always appreciated their coach, Mr. Wenncr, who has been the power behind the baton. It takes keen mind to ferret the various talents of the squad and help them to develop that skill. W ith the | eppiest of pep talks and sturdiest words of encouragement, Mr. Wenner as coach is tin tops. Bud Fontaine flies speedily over his hurdles and plays a consistent first. Tommy Taylor, the Co-Captain of the team, known as “piston-legs” has also played No. 1 man in the 440. The other Co-Captain, Fred Gilley, was unfortunate enough to injure his foot and keep him out of the high jump. However, Jimmy Quinn and Ed Kinchla have been riding high and are expected to lie killer-dillcrs for next year in the high jump. Because of an evenly balanced team, anti fine coaching, much success has been realized this year as in the past. 155 } Baseball Establishing a new precedent by opening the 1938 season with snow upon the ground, a squad of forty reported for the Belmont High baseball team. Led by Seniors ('aptain Thomas, Parks, Cannon. Lynch, Dawson and Restuccia, Coach Lewis Harris formed his 11)38 nine. As the season progressed, it was evident that there are stars in every galaxy for Bill Parks became the dean of moundsmen against Stoncham by limiting them to three hits in eight innings and striking out eleven. The battery became a formidable one with Captain Ralph Thomas l chind the plate shaping up as one of Belmont’s most versatile catchers, with a generous average with the hickory. Bill Cannon rounds out the outstanding trio because of his skilful fielding and ap| carcd to be the foremost slugger of the outfit. Sophomores Murphy and Buckley, and Frank Ray, a Junior, ap| car to be the brightest prospects for next year’s aggregation and from whom Helmsman Harris may expect much. With much credit going to the squad of forty rabid hickory and horschidc followers, and to Coach Harris for his excellent tutelage, the season may be considered one of great success. 157 } Tennis The tennis team which has represented Belmont High School in 1938 has, undoubtedly, produced the most splendid record of any in the school’s history. Though encountering such reputedly strong opponents as those from Arlington, Watertown, and Melrose, Captain Preston Reynolds and his fellow racqueteers have accounted for themselves admirably. Craig Scott, Reynolds, and Robert Rougeot maintained throughout the year their positions as the three singles players; yet no less creditable was the work of the doubles combinations. Though the schedule called for a seven-man team in each match, there was such an equality in ability among the prospective doubles teams that Coach William Nagle retained a squad of twelve players. In this way, a fair system of alternation was carried out. Fortunately, the team was not comprised wholly of Seniors; indeed, seven of the twelve members of the squad were Sophomores and Juniors. As a result, the school may expect another successful season in 1939, with a nucleus of such players as Rougeot. Lifner, Jacobs, Goodman, Marcottc. Marcum, and Roobyan. The schedule was as follows: May 3—Winthrop at Belmont 5—Arlington at Belmont 9—Belmont at Watertown 11—Belmont at Ix‘ ington IS—Melrose at Belmont 17—Belmont at Winthrop 20—Watertown at Belmont 23—Belmont at Arlington 25—Lexington at Belmont 27—Belmont at Melrose 31—Waltham at Belmont 4 58 } Tennis The first announcement of the 1988 tennis season for girls brought out a large group of sophomores, juniors, and seniors. In general, the candidates for the team were excellent material, and it was with great difficulty that Miss Hill made her final decision. The team is composed of sophomores Stephanie Burton and Jessie Tufts; juniors Janice Phipps and Ruth Flanders; and seniors Ruth Chaffee, Joan ('alley, Barbara Wilband, Dorothy Groncr, Anne MacKnight, Jean Allison and Marjorie Wood. Of these, only two arc on the squad for the third year; three for the second time; and the remaining find this their first experience in school tennis. After several practices, the girls elected Anne MacKnight as captain. This is her third year on the tennis team. The schedule for the season is a difficult one and intensive practice is under way. However, with the leadership of Miss Hill and Miss MacKnight, it is believed that the team will, as usual, be a successful one winning or losing with the best of sportsmanship. The matches are as follows: May 12—Lexington 16—Winchester 20—Watertown 24—Arlington 26—Concord 31—Melrose June 2—Malden (59 Organisations Student Council The Student Council for the school year of 1987-1988 started out under the leadership of John Luctters as President, Joseph Aricoas Vice-President, Eleanor Thayer as Secretary, and Miss McCormick as Advisor. However, due to the fact that a student may hold only one office in school activities. Joseph Arico, President of the Senior Class has been replaced by James Lynch as Vice-President of the Council with Ruth Luctters later elected to Secretaryship because of the eligibility rule. At the football games last fall the Student Council was offered the chance to earn money by selling ice cream and candy. This is the only way in which the Student Council has been able to gain income. The money derived from this sale totaled $1(54.45. Part of the money naturally paid expenses and the rest was used to send flowers to sick members of the school, to send representatives to the Student Council Convention in Medford. Some of the measures that the Student Council has approved and passed are: first, the sending of Student Council members to the grammar schools to give short talks on sportsmanship; next was the organizing of the Sophomore and Junior Classes, and a more definite organization for the National Honor Society: also it sponsored a soccer game between the football and soccer teams, the proceeds of this game being used for the year book. Subject to discussion was the basement privilege in study halls, an early dismissal from school at 1:15, new subjects to be used in the school curriculum, council control of advertising in the school by posters, the reading of magazines in study halls, and other topics of vital interest. The Student Council has met at an average of twice a month, and in those meetings many new measures for the good of the school have been discussed and introduced. 4 62 } Red Cross In its second year, !!).‘{7-.‘$8 the Red Cross organization of our school, composed of representatives elected by members of the respective homerooms, effected many projects which were of service to the school, community, and even to foreign lands, with much satisfaction on the part of the members who feel that they have really been a practical and successful institution. In September, 1!).‘I7 under the leadership of Miss Onthank, as faculty advisor, Dorothy Kimball was elected President, Mary Fogler, Vice-President and Treasurer, and Hester Dolbear, Secretary. Prescott Crafts has continued his work in the Boston council as Senior delegate and was assisted by Ruth Ripley, Junior delegate. As has been the custom for many years the Red Cross issued their call for toys or money to be used as Christmas gifts in other countries. Belmont High School, through the efforts of the representatives, collected sufficient toys and money to fill thirty boxes for distribution. After much preparation the members congregated in the library December 41 for a party to be given for tewnty needy children between five and eight years old. (iames were played bv the children and supervised by the delegates. Refreshments also were served to the children. In February, cookies were sent to the Chelsea Naval Hospital on the request of the council. As has been our custom attractive Easter favors were made for the Veterans Hospital in Bedford. In our attempt to serve our fellowmen this Club has shown the school that it is more pleasant to serve than to be served. The members appreciate the assistance rendered by Miss Onthank and Miss Dorntee and wish that future members may have equal and even greater success in the years to come. I 63 } Belmontian Club UK BELMONTIAN CU B has enjoyed another successful year under the leadership of its advisor. Miss Miller, and its officers, Marjorie Wood, President; Eileen O'Connell, Vice President; Cara Fisken, Secretary; and Barbara Bunker, Treasurer. The meetings were most enjoyable due to the efficiency of Joan ('alley, Chairman of the Entertainment Committee. She was able to secure two well-known personages as speakers: Judge Emma Fall Schofield who lectured on “The Art of Living, and Dr. Samuel Lindsay whose subject was The Art of Living Together.” An extremely interesting talk was given by Mrs. Water-house, a blind woman from the Perkins Institute, who. with her “sccing-eyc dog, spoke of the wonderful work being done by these animals. At the Christmas meeting the ever-popular play entitled “The Birds’ Christmas Carol was presented, and this performance was repeated for the High School Christmas Assembly. Through the influence of Miss Miller we were able to hear the Madrigal Singers of Radcliffe, and at the same meeting Miss Caroline Smith of the Bishop-Ix-e School gave most entertaining readings. Miss Bowry of Filene’s presented her Framing the Face lecture demonstrating various coiffures on different types of girls, and the annual fashion show, in which the Belmontian members acted as models, was presented by Ilovey’s under the direction of Miss Kane. The Refreshment Committee, under the capable leadership of Eileen O’Connell, served delicious refreshments at each meeting. A formal dance, with Ruth Chaffee as chairman, was held in May, concluding the Belmontian activities for the year. (64 } Girl Reserves The (iirl Reserves are the younger members of the Young Women’s Christian Association. With the guidance and companionship of the older members of the Y. W. C. A., the (iirl Reserves plan and carry out many activities. This club life gives girls the opportunity to broaden their outlook and personality. They learn how to work in groups and how to undertake responsibilities. In 1936, Miss Helen MacQuillan, secretary of the Younger (iirls’ Department of the Y. W. C. A., introduced the (iirl Reserves Club in Belmont. Later under the supervision of Miss Martha Hanf, the club was formally organized. During the first year Lois Blanchard was the president. Cnder her leadership, many activities were sponsored. In the year 1937 Miss Hanf was aided by Miss Thompson, a representative from the Y. W. (’. A. The new officers were: Esther Carlson as president, Jean MacCann as vice-president, Anne Gilberto as secretary, and Betty Richards as treasurer. One of the most outstanding activities of the year was the Harvest Frolic, which was a success both socially and financially. In addition to this, there were other activities in which only club members participated, such as a sleigh ride and a bicycle picnic. As one of the club’s purposes is service, on Thanksgiving baskets were filled with food, and on Christmas toys were given to children in the Waltham Hospital. During meetings there have been interesting speakers on the program. One was Mrs. (i. Eliot Louckes, who spoke on “Personality, How To Develop It,” and another was Miss Alfreda A Tocher, whose topic was Bulgaria.” In union with the Y. W. C. A., there has been a Reeognition Service, several conferences, and the annual banquet. The growing interest in the (iirl Reserves and the Y. W. C. A. has resulted in the establishment of a community committee. Mrs. Harris Reynolds is the chairman of this group. (65 } Senior Play “Double Trouble,” is a fast-moving comedy portraying the troubles of a group of girls and their dramatic coach while looking for realistic action for their play. In trying to discover how a hero would act when he discovers a girl screaming for help after an attack by a burglar, they encounter some unexpected events. What with people disappearing into closets and boxes, it is sometimes not quite clear whether or not there is a real burglar, all of which leads to a fast-moving climax. Eileen O’Connell, Pat Merrill, and Joan ('alley, together with Marjorie Wood, portrayed well, each with a different style, the three girls and their coach. Phil Smith and Ward Tucker were the properly bewildered victims of the hoax, which was further complicated by the appearance of Hay West, a “pug, who later was discovered to be the boy friend of the girls' maid, Millie McKeon. Still more complications arrived in the |x rson of Addison Powell, supposedly an English Nobleman, but in reality only a butler, who was engaged to Debbie Sargent, sister of Eileen O'Connell. The arrival of the girls’ aunt, Anne Gilberto, caused no end of trouble, and matters were made worse by the sudden appearance of Eunice Fagan and Alice Noyd, “best girls” of the two boys. The whole situation was cleared up by the Irish policeman. Ward Carter, as the asbestos rang down upon a very successful performance. (66 } “Mikado” Every year the students of the Belmont High School present an operetta the proceeds of which go toward the Comery Scholarship Fund. 1 his year the chorus presented ami made an all-round smashing hit of that ever delightful Gilbert and Sullivan operetta, Mikado. The following students blended their vocal talents to make a wholly entertaining and enjoyable program: The Mikado of Japan George Walsh Nanki-Poo . Moran Yegian Ko-Ko Philip Smith Pooh-Bah . . Addison Powell Pish-Tush . Edward Prentice Go-To . . James Robertson Yum-Yum . PittiSing . Peep-Bo Katisha Nee-Ban Gloria Helm Hilda Phillips Isabel Heaton Mildred McKeon Robert Anderson The Chorus included: Erdine Chaffee, Arline Chaffee, Edward Kinchla, William Lindroth, Leonard P. Pray, Dana Reed, George Walsh, Robert Anderson, Robert Schreiber, Donald Flockc, Gerard Amodeo, John Talbot, Emil Wichur, Lawrence Langley, James Robertson, Elizabeth von Thurn, Jean Garrity, Eileen Hughes, Virginia O’Connell, Claire Lito, Natalie Dane, Virginia Smith, Caroline Fort, Sylvia Erikson, Lucy Dexter, Cynthia Hanson, Janet Fish, Agnes Killing. Margery Hayes, Virginia Ulmer, Helen Mannix, Charlotte Tucker, Barbara (’ole, Ann Kenneally, Anne McCarthy, Marylove Rcdcker, Betty Sharpe, Margaret A. Bittiek, Eleanor Birch, Betty Breen, Constance Yeats, Ruth Ripley, Louise Fouhy, Barbara Sexton, Esther Carlson, Verna Murray, Emma Peterson, Roberta Berry, Harriet Fisken, Stefanie Burton, Carolyn Berry, Barbara Shanlcy, Frances Knapp, Shirley I etts, Jean O’Donnell, Claire Roberts, Eleaine dc Castillo, Mary Callahan, Mildred Ellis, Margret Coffey and Betty White. This splendid production was coached by and under the direction of Mr. Freeman, Belmont High’s new and capable choir director and band master. Yes, Belmont High has a good right to be proud of its fine chorus. 167 Debating Club FOUNDED in 103.5 at the request of a group of young men desirous of some assistance in public speaking, and headed by Miss Gertrude Miller, head of the English department, the Belmont High Debating Club has progressed much. The greater part of the first year was spent in club organization and activity confined to the club. In 1036-1037 under the guidance of Mr. Charles Myers as advisor, the club took upon itself two debates on the official subject. Resolved: That electric utilities should be governmentally owned and operated. In our first debate before the assembled school we were defeated by the prize-winning Cambridge Latin team. Defeat, however, failed to destroy the spirit. However, we were again unsuccessful against the Arlington High School team. At the close of the season new officers were elected. They were Thomas Howarth, President; Ward Carter, N ice President; Robert Northrup, Secretary; Ernest Comeau, Treasurer. In a program before the school we presented a very successful forum on “What Armament Means to the Youth of America.” Prescott Crafts, Robert North rup. Ward Carter, and Thomas Howarth aided in the discussion. This year has been a big one in the history of the club, for we have participated in three interscholastic debates, presented one program for the whole school, and numerous argumentative programs in the club itself. Under the guidance of Mr. Meyers we have grown into a club we feel is worthy of its place in school activities. The graduating members wish to extend many thanks to Mr. Meyers for his help and wish them much increased success in the years to come. 68 } Latin Club Since its founding in 1935, the Latin Club of Belmont High School has been successfully functioning under the motto, “Vincit qui se vincit” (he conquers who conquers himself). Until 1938 the Latin Club had been open only to members of the Association for the Promotion of the Study of Latin, but in 1938 the Club extended the membership to any student in the Latin Department. At that time the Club adopted a new name, Summa, meaning highest, but it retained the original motto. Summa elected the following officers for 1937-1938: Consults (Co- Presidents) Douglas Caskie Ruth Ripley Quaestor Tabularum (Secretary ) Anne McCarthy Quaestor Aerari (Treasurer) Raymond West Aediles (Program Committee) Dana Reed Herbert Griffith Betty Henley Charlotte Tucker Censores (Membership Committee) Mary Medding Myron Kaufmann The following officers were appointed for 1937-1938: Pontifex Maximus (Installing Officer) John Luetters Augur Carl Goodman 169 } Bowling Club Finding both pleasure and enjoyment the Belmont Bowlers have “howled ’em over” as the pins clicked over to cheek a constant number of strikes for this aggressive team. Comprised of both hoys and girls, the mixed group not only insured a full male attendance hut surprised them by proving that the “weaker sex” was wrongly named. League games have been anticipated and realized as the alleys resounded victoriously with Belmont wins. Under the amiable and competent coaching of David “Scoop” O’Connor, the players have been instructed in lines never previously equalled. The “Alley-men” were divided into five teams: “Boston College” being the high scorer with Garfield Fralick as Captain. Dartmouth’s rollers were headed by Edward Grant ami were just barely “nosed out. Harvard’s” captain was Moran Yegian, Yale’s,” George Sauter. The girls' teams consisted of “Radcliffe headed by Alfreda Ehwa, “Lasell” by Pauline Allen, Wellesley” by Ruth Fay, “Vassar by Rose Tricomy. The season, topped off by a super-elegant banquet of turkey and trimmings at the Junior High School, spelled the assured continuance of the Belmont Bowling team in future years. The financial necessity of the feed was mightily met by the following method: at each ami every practice involving a slight cost, one-fourth of the bill was inserted into the swelling pocketbook of the club treasury. 170 } Band The Belmont High School Band has increased its membership this year to fifty-five players. By means of a concert early in October we paid off a deficit from previous years and bought a new bass tuba. The band played at all the football games and at numerous public functions including the Constitution Day parade and exercises, the Alumni banquet, the Kendall school P. T. A., the school committee open forum and several school assemblies. With the help of the athletic association we purchased several new uniforms. The band is now completely equipped with capes and hats. For the first time, the high school band participated in the Massachusetts and New England Music Festivals in Fall River and Burlington, Vermont. The members of the band had a pleasant social time as well as a profitable musical experience. With many new players expected from junior high next fall a bigger and better band is in prospect for the new school year. Able Mr. Freeman deserves much credit for the marvelous results achieved through his efforts. 4 71 } Orchestra The high school orchestra has appeared at all the assemblies this year and at several community functions. The string section participated in the Massachusetts and New England Music Festivals at Fall River and Burlington, Vermont. The orchestra has the following instrumentation: 10 violins, 1 cello, 1 string bass, 1 flute, 6 clarinets, 2 saxophones, 2 trumpets, 2 horns, 1 trombone, 2 drums and piano. The most important work of the orchestra was the playing for the “Mikado” which was presented for the scholarship fund on January 15. This operetta gave many of the members their first experience in this type of playing. Under the skillful baton of the vari-talentcd Mr. Freeman the players have filled the hall with the sweet strains of the lighter classics and “Ted” Prentiss played sub-director, a great worker and help to all concerned. This organization even pleased the “swing minded” audience, definitely creating a type of enjoyment that appealed to all. 72 } National Honor Society During the third year of its existence in the Belmont High, the National Honor Society has continued to forward the principles of character, leadership, scholarship and service in the school. The activities of this year have been confined to electing officers, choosing an advisor, and formulating plans for the continuance and observance of the ritualistic ceremonies. In previous years, the society has had other towns perform this ceremony. Practicing its own principle of Leadership, they have drawn up their own plans for the impressive degree of initiation. Unfortunately the society has lost one of its members to another state, Margaret Helscth, but the remaining senior members consist of: President, Philip Smith; Vice-President, Ward Carter; Treasurer. George Haylett; Secretary, Mary Foglar; Dorothy Groner, Dorothy Kimball, Marjorie Wood, Margaret Waterhouse, and Frank Nelson. Advisor Ralph Higginbottom, proved to be a wonderful helper, ami his numerous suggestions and sage decisions, together with those of this talented group resulted in a coordination worthy of the best of groups. The inspiration offered to join this group has been a compelling incentive to strive for better character, sensible leadership, higher scholarship and unselfish service to the school. 4 73 } Cheer Leaders Nothing would be more incomplete than a football game without cheerleaders. Belmont High has always boasted a colorful group of cheerleaders and, the eight who cheered the ’.‘17 team on to victory were I . ’. Crafts, Ward Tucker, Ida Terassi, Alyce Noyd, Yetta Gittelson, Stephany Burton and Gertrude Dwyer. B.H.S. B. H. S. Bah! Rah! B. H. S. Rah! Rah! I loo Bah! Hoo Bah! Belmont Fight. Oh, Yeah Oh Yeah!
