Daniel, you have a great deal to live up to and to be proud of! (he mumbles again, and slings an eraser out the rear window.) That is the caliber of the pupils I had that year!

He has persuaded Hans Walz and Warren Kennerly to join him, and nurses a secret ambition to make a comedy team out of the outfit. Warren has taken his chemistry to the mountains with him, teaching it in a log school-house, ami plans to name his first born after the great Crocker. And, incidentally, E. Charlton Crocker, Sc.

Composed almost entirely of seniors, the eleven rang up a last minute victory over a stubborn Weymouth aggregation in the opening encounter. Because it was hampered by injuries, the team showed erratic form until the final game, when it ran Watertown into the mud in a dazzling victory. Occasional flashes, such as the Lexington game, illuminated a potentially fine team, but bad luck and the absence of a scoring punch combined to keep Captain Thomas Foley from leading his men through a brilliant year. Yielding little ground to any team, the line had great strength, and tore the opposition apart when functioning smoothly. The back field, led l� v Foley, who was really immense throughout the year, was light but hardhitting. To Coach Newell goes a world of credit for his endeavors to rebuild the team, hard hit by the previous graduation. Those receiving letters were: Thomas Foley, Captain; Donald McLean, Manager; Arico, Burke, Burns, Cashin, Centauro, Connolly, Dwyer.

As a result, the whole team had at least a year’s experience, and, to all practical intents and purposes, appeared to be one of Coach Wenner’s finest squads. However, the team was held scoreless for four straight games, and not until the Lexington game was Belmont able to throw off the jinx. With only a temporary setback because of the loss of the second Medford game, the team, perhaps rejuvenated by the Colder weather, won its three concluding games. Belmont’s poor showing in its opening encounters can only be explained by bad breaks, occasional lack of cooperation, and strong opponents. Those receiving letters were: Kenneth Ross, Captain; Gedney Baldwin, Henry Bornhofft, Paul Cahalanc, Douglas Caskic, Kenneth Conroy, Roy Jenkins, Edward Prentice, Donald Puffer, Dana Reed, John Reed, Robert Reid, Raymond Ripley, Hans W’ulz. and Herbert Williams.

With the reputation of former teams behind them, the members of the squad worked hard to continue the record. The first three encounters resulted in two victories and a tie for Belmont; although the next game was close, and brought forth some fine playing on the part of the Belmont girls, their chances for an undefeated season were gone. However, since the next game was with our arch-rivals, Watertown, the old Belmont competitive spirit was revived and our team chalked up another win, the score being Belmont 4, Water-town 0. The season was closed with a party at which Martha Albro was elected captain for next year, ami Camille Gilberto, manager. Much of the success is due to Miss Hill, the coach, and to the members of the squad who cooperated in the enjoyment of a worth-while fall season. Although the team regretted being unable to win every game, the moral victories won bv good sportsmanship and fine hockey playing were enough to satisfy the team ami to make the school proud of them. Those receiving Varsity letters were: Winifred Saurwein, Captain; Sadie Inferrera, Manager; Stephanie Burton, Arline Chaffee, Katherine Congdon, Eleanor Donahue, Jane (lately, Camille Gilberto. Patricia Gorman, Margaret Keefe, Man Keefe, Katherine Quinlan, and Bette White. The schedule follows: OcIoIht 4 Belmont 1 Lexington 0 ()ctol er 13 Belmont 4 ('oncord 0 October 40 Belmont 1 Malden 1 October 47 Belmont 0 Arlington 1 November 1 Belmont 4 Watertown 0 November 3 Belmont 3 Winthrop 0 X ovember 9 Belmont 0 Winchester 4 (54 1 Hockey The 1938-30 Belmont High School Hockey Team was undoubtedly the finest aggregation produced by Coach Harris since the eventful 1984-33 season. The team completed the year with three wins, two ties, and five defeats. Perhaps the most amazing individual feat of the season, not only from Belmont's viewpoint, but from that of the entire league, was Carl Westiund's ‘ IIat Trick” (that is, three consecutive goals in one game) against Cambridge High and Latin School. This is the first record of such an occurence in the (ireater Boston Ice Hockey League for at least the last five years. Tribute should Ik paid to the brilliant and courageous hockey playing of Frank Bay. Frank was chosen on many All-Star teams by the coaches and newspapermen who witnessed all of the games. Truly this was a fitting tribute to an excellent player. The leadership of Captain Bud Henry was all that could be desired. Through: out the entire season he kept trying to improve his playing in every way possible. The result was that he was the most improved player in the league. At the close of the season the lettermen elected “Putto” Murphy as a successor to Bin! Henry. He is a hard-working lad and will do much to fill in the gap left by his predecessors. He was chosen to play for the All-Stars’ second team by the coaches. The season’s results were as follows: Belmont 4 Melrose 4 Medford 4 Belmont 0 Belmont 4 Newton 4 Stoneham 3 Belmont 1 Bindge Tech 3 Belmont 4 Medford 6 Belmont 4 Arlington 5 Belmont 3 Belmont 4 C. I atin 4 Belmont 4 C. Latin 0 Bindge Tech 3 Belmont 4 I 55 J Basketball The 1938-89 basketball team was called out by Coach Wonner early in December for the express purpose of preparing it for the tough 15 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 a row, the first over an undefeated alumni, certainly augured well for the remaining eleven battles; however, the next five games showed that the team lacked the general stability necessary for consistency. This may be explained by the fact that only two of the starting five, Edward Morandi and Donald Puffer, were seniors. The less of Captain Franklin Coole, the team’s only veteran, during an early practice, was a painful headache to Coach Wenncr as well as to the team. The quintet, trying desperately to pull out of the slump, won a close game from a strong Watertown team on its home grounds; however, this upset had no effect on the remaining seven games. Next season, as seniors, the team should settle down to normalcy and do justice to their unquestioned potentialities. Ross Burns, next year’s captain, was the outstanding member of last winter’s quintet, although all five could be singled out as equally responsible for the team’s earnings. The senior lettermen are: Coole, Captain; Holt, Manager; Conroy, Mailhot, Morandi, Puffer. Quinn, Tilton, and Webber. The schedule was as follows: Varsity 23 Alumni 22 Belmont 21 Concord 27 Belmont 23 Lexington 22 Belmont 20 Lexington S3 Belmont 19 Reading 10 Belmont 3!)

Coached by Miss Jane Hill, the 1939 team enjoyed a most successful season, winning four of the six games played. The girls opened their season victoriously with a win over Ix'xington, the score being 40-10. hi the second game with Winchester, Belmont lost a closely contested and hard-fought battle. After dropping another game to Arlington, the Belmont team regained its winning form by conquering Concord decisively, with the scoreboard finally reading 38-17. The team, captained by Catherine O’Harc and managed by Ann Kenneallv, closed its year quite satisfactorily by nosing out Lexington 31-29. These girls who participated in the varsity games and received their letters are: Catherine O'Hare, guard; Ann Kenneally, guard; Helen Bohlman, forward; Erdine Chaffee, forward; Jane (lately, guard; Mildred Gilberto, guard; Sadie Inferrera, forward; and Helen Mannix, forward. The girls chosen to lead the team next year are Erdine Chaffee, captain, and Katherine Congdon, manager. 158J Boys’ Tennis The tennis season for the Belmont High opened on April 48 when many promising players reported for practice. The team is composed of seven men; three singles and two doubles teams. Among those playing singles this year will Ik George Lifner, Holn-rt Rougeot, Wilfred Marcotte, and Lawrence Roob-yan. Some of the doubles players will he James Markham, Stuart Gilmore, Douglas Scott, Kdward Gildea, William MacDougall, and Walter Irving. Thomas Toler has been appointed as manager. Although there are not as many Senior players as last year, it is hoped by Coach Nagle and Captain Marcotte that this year’s team will be as successful as last year’s, if not more so. schedule is as follows: May 4 Tuesday Belmont at Melrose 4 Thursday Winthrop at Belmont 8 Monday Arlington at Belmont 10 Wednesday Belmont at Watertown 14 Friday Belmont at Lexington 16 Tuesday Melrose at Belmont 18 Thursday Belmont at Winthrop 44 Monday Watertown at Belmont 44 Wednesday Belmont at Arlington 46 Friday Lexington at Belmont I 59 J Track Captained by the invincible Bob Carroll, and with optomistic Mel Wcnncr as coach, the track squad hopes to continue the tradition of being probably the most successful of the school teams. Although Mr. W’enner’s expert coaching doubtless will aid and abet the team in its struggle lor honors, the following will bring in many points: Charlie Cherry in the 100; Jack Hcnnessy in the furlong; Bob Walker in the broad jump and dashes; Dick Whiting and Paul I.eary in the 440; Ted Lang and Bill Carroll in the half; and Ed Kinchla. Jimmy Quinn, and Fred Gilley as high jumpers. Fred was unable to enter competition because of his poor foot last year, but the team is expecting big things Irom him this season. The several annual meets with neighboring schools act as breathers between the five important events of the season: the Worcester Interseholasties on April 49; the Middlesex Interseholasties on May 0; the Fitchburg Relays on May 40; while May 47 will find two battles taking place: the State Meet at Newton and the Needham Interseholasties. The Wennermen intend to continue to walk off with the trophies and blue ribbons as past squads have done at Fitchburg, Needham, and Belmont, but Mel has his fingers crossed when he speaks of the W oreester and State Meets; he knows, however, that his men want to win as much as he does. |«0| Baseball The Baseball team was called out by Coaches Harris and Kgan during the April vacation, and opened its season the following week with a smashing defeat over Concord, last year’s league leaders, to the tune of 23 to !). If the team can continue such an excellent record, Belmont is certain to replace Concord at the summit. Certainly, this initial victory augurs well for a successful year. Headed by Seniors Coole Donahue, Ray, and Cargcn, Juniors Murphy, llazlctt. Buckley, Conley, Boundy, and Kgan, and Sophomores Toomey and Swain, the squad shapes up well with a promise of great things to come as the season progresses. Next year, too, the team should continue its success, with Pitchers Buckley, Hazlett, and Swain and Catchers Conley and Boundy forming an impregnable battery. I he schedule for the remainder of the games follows: April May June 2, Tuesday Concord at Belmont 1 Monday Maynard at Belmont 3 W ednesday Belmont at Stoncham 5 Friday Lexington at Belmont 9 Tuesday Belmont at Winchester 12 Friday Reading at Belmont 15 Monday Belmont at Watertown 10 Tuesday Belmont at Concord lit Friday Belmont at Reading 23 Tuesday Belmont at Maynard 24 ednesday Belmont at Arlington 20 Friday Stoncham at Belmont 31 Wednesday W inchestcr at Belmont o Friday Belmont at Lexington 0 Tuesday Watertown at Belmont 62| Girls’ Tennis When Miss Hill called for candidates for the girls tennis team on April 40, a large group of sophomores, juniors, and seniors reported. From this aggregation a varsity squad of approximately ten players will 1m chosen. Ruth Flanders and Jessie Tufts are the only two girls among those who received letters last year who are returning to this year's team. With these two girls as a nucleus. Coach Jane Hill will form the starting team. The squad this year will undoubtedly be one of the youngest in the history of the school, but whether this fact is an asset or a liability, time alone will tell. This year, for the first time, the team is to have the privilege of using the second floor of the Concord Avenue Field House as a locker room. This opportunity should prove a great convenience to the team, as it has to the field hockey squad. The schedule of games for the season is as follows: May 11 Thursday Malden at Belmont 15 Monday W inthrop at Belmont 45 Thursday Concord at Belmont 4!) Monday Watertown at Belmont June 1 Thursday Lexington at Belmont 6 Tuesday Belmont at Arlington 164] ORGANIZATIONS Student Council Under the capable leadership of Advisor Miss McCormack ami President J. Douglas Caskie, the Student Council has enjoyed one of its most successful and helpful years since its inauguration. With its treasury replete with a gift from the Class of 19.88, and with the proceeds from the sale of candy, ice cream, and coffee at the football games, the student council has been able to aid many students in obtaining much-needed medical assistance, to purchase flowers for sick students, and to send representatives to the Eastern Division of Student Councils Convention held at Watertown. Many innovations and renovations in the school program have been made or suggested by the Student Council during the past year. Among these, the introduction of Christmas trees ami carols in the halls during the week before Christmas, the revision of the traflie system, the innovation of School Spirit Week, the restoration of the warning bell at 8:10 o’clock, the insertion of council-controlled extra periods during which clubs and various organizations could meet or hold committee meetings, and the organization of the sophomore class, were activities of outstanding interest to the school and to the student body. The officers for the year were: Adiisor:- Miss McCormack President:—J. Douglas Caskie I ’ice- President:—Donald Pu ffer Secretary:—Ruth Luctters 166) National Honor Society The National Honor Society is an organization which has not yet gained its deserved rank among the school’s activities. Admittedly bearing the most prestige of any student group, the society has been slow in assuming the duties and privileges allotted to it. However, under the capable supervision of Mr. George IIigginbottom, the Society is bound eventually to enjoy its well-merited distinction. Members arc chosen by the collaboration of the teachers with the office on the basis of Scholarship, Leadership, Character, and Service, the four precepts of the organization. The impressive ceremony of initiation was conferred in May, 1039, upon approximately 0 candidates by J. Douglas Caskie, Shirley Ix-tts, Ruth Ripley, and Dana Reed, symbolizing the four precepts. The members of the organization accepted in 1936 were: Robert A. Hawkins, President; Dana Reed, Vice-President; Ruth Ripley, Secretary; Hans Walz. Treasurer; and Douglas Caskie. Elsie Cutliffe, Hester Dolbear, Jeanne Garrity, Phyllis Gilbert, Barbara Hanson, Elizabeth Henley, Carlton Ix hr, Shirley Letts, Naomi Sawyer, Gertrude Scribner. Jean Thompson, and Everett Throndscn. Needless to say, the National Honor Society, as yet only a few years old. offers a powerful incentive for universal excellence among students, and boasts a bright future. 167 | Junior Red Cross The Junior Red (toss has just concluded a most enjoyable season; its members feel that they have not only profited from their work, but have contributed to the happiness of others. Kvery home room in the school is represented in the organization, thereby bringing a feeling of cooperation to the club. Miss Onthank is the faculty advisor; the officers are: Stephanie Burton, President; James Markham. Vice-President; Patricia (iorman. Secretary; and Shirley Cole, Treasurer. Kuth Ripley and Kleanor Lynch are representatives to the Boston council. Numerous and varied activites occupied the meml crs throughout the year, in fulfillment of their aim of service. For each holiday the Red Cross made menu covers and small favors which were sent to the I . S. Naval Hospital. They prepared scrap books as well, and helped to keep the hospital’s cookie jar well-filled. Their annual project was the children’s party at Christmas-time for twenty-five underprivileged youngsters of Belmont. The work was planned and directed by club members, and this year it was a greater success than ever before. Funds for the activities of the Junior Red Cross are raised by subscription each fall. In the spring the club, assisted by the Spanish, German, French, and Latin Clubs, presented its International Frolic,” to provide for expenses of the several clubs. By their contributions the school aided this organization in furthering the spirit ami purpose of the Junior Red Cross. Thus every student can join the club members in saying “We Serve.” (68) Latin Club The Latin Club, “Summa, has had a most successful year under the leadership of Miss Johnson and Miss Steucrwald as faculty advisors, Jessie Tufts and Dana Reed as Consuls (Co-Presidents), Norma Greenleaf as Quaestor Tabularum (Secretary), Raymond Ripley as Quaestor Aerari (Treasurer), and Ruth Luettors and Herbert Griffith as Censors (Membership Committee). Since the inspiring inauguration service there has been a series of interesting meetings, including talks by members which broadened their knowledge of Roman civilization ami customs; Miss Hutchings of the Boston Museum of Fine Arts gave two illustrated talks, one on Greek athletics and festivals, and one on Virgil; several graduates of colleges brought valuable information on Latin courses after high school and the importance of the language in later life; demonstrations and translations by students of several classes were given, ami Latin games and ceremonies were enjoyed. In the meetings, more understanding of Roman dress and customs is fostered, for they are carried on with the officers wearing togas according to Roman procedure. Because of the white togas and their red ribbons, garments which were an integral part of the Roman costume, Summa adopter! red and white as its official colors. This club, “an association for furthering the knowledge and appreciation of the Roman customs and language, as the constitution states, is a growing organization bringing much of value to its members. 169) Belmontian Club The last few months of this year were busy ones for t lie Belmontians, with the annual dance following close on the heels of “Skidding.” Two such successes in one year speak highly for the cooperation of our members. Under the direction of Miss Miller and this year’s officers: Elisabeth von Thurn, Isabelle Gunn, Virginia Garland, and Bcttyane Ross, the club has completed another happy and profitable season. The Program Committee, headed by Ruth Luetters, and assisted by Priscilla ( lark ami Winifred Sauerwein, representing the Refreshment and Hospitality Committees respectively, has prepared for us some of the most enjoyable meetings that we have ever had. We were fortunate in securing Mrs. Douglas Mercer of Brookline ami of the Y. W. C. A., who spoke to a gathering of members, teachers, ami guests from the student body on “What Kind of World Do We Want? A former member, now with Slattery’s, arranged a fashion show for the May meeting, and in June the election of officers occupied the center of attention. At earlier meetings, we were entertained by a presentation of “Green Eyes From Romany, and a demonstration by dancers from the Baptiste School of the Dance, as well as a lecture on how to make the most of one’s appearance by a representative of Filene’s. At Christmas another play was presented entitled “Just What They Wanted ami Mr. Freeman offeree! a song, “() Holy Night.” The year’s activities were brought to a fitting close by general participation in the State Music Festival, held in Belmont. [70] Debating Club The fourth year of the Debating Club under the guidance of Mrs. Hornsey and Mr. Jacobs has proved to be one of the most profitable seasons in the short history of the organization. Although the team started late in December, and although the original membership was very small, the club’s stature increased not only in quantity of members but in quality of debating. The officers, chosen at the final business meeting of last year, were: Douglas Caskie, President; Myron Kautmann, Vice-President: Dana Reed, Secretary; and Warren Kcnnerly, Treasurer. Several club debates have given the members much experience, including subjects such as Chamberlain's policy of appeasement and the topic of progressive education. These have led up to the two highlights of the year, the Arlington and Watertown debates which were held before assemblies in each school as well as in our own. Arlington proposed to us the subject of Plan E, and the ultimate phrasing of the question was. Rewired: That the city manager system with proportional representation is the best form of municipal government. Robert Hawkins ami Fred Stockwell took the affirmative, debating at Belmont on May 3, while Charlton ('rocker and Howard Sharpe traveled to Arlington to debate at the same time with a team from that school. The second debate, held on May 1(� , was on the national high school debating subject. Rewired: That the United States should establish an alliance with Great Britain. Shirley Larmour, Dana Reed and Warren Kennedy took the affirmative, speaking at Belmont, while Margaret Coffey, Douglas Caskie, and Myron Kaufmann debated at Watertown. 171| Girl Reserves The (iirl Reserve Club, the Younger Girls Department of the Y. Y. C. A., which was organized at Belmont High in 1936, has completed a most profitable year. This year the club has the largest enrollment of the Reserve Clubs in the (•renter Boston area. It is ho| cd that in the future the insignia of the (■ irl Reserves, a blue triangle—the sides of which represent service, loyalty, and friendship, within a circle—the symbol of internationalism, will be worn by an increasingly larger number of girls at Belmont High. The 1938-1939 officers were as follows: President, Margaret Coffey; Vice-President. Camille Gilberto; Secretary, Klizal cth Richardson; Treasurer, Carol Blanchard; and Club Advisor, Miss Martha Hamf. A supper meeting o| ened the activities of the year, with Miss Florence Shaw, the Boston Director of the Younger Girls’ Department as guest speaker. This was followed by regular monthly meetings, numerous committee meetings, and special activities. Two colorful dances were sponsored: a Hobo Hop in October and a May Dance in the Spring. Karly in December, an impressive Recognition Service was held; during the ceremony the girls were received formally into mem! ership in the Club. Later in December the organization presented a play, “The Music Box,” for the Christmas assembly. At a Mother-Daughter Program in the latter part of May “The Marble Faun, by Nathaniel Hawthorne, was presented bv the Dramatic and Music Groups. Many girls and boys received instructions in ballroom dancing from Miss Brenda Boynton. During the course of the year, several speakers were enjoyed. M iss Florence Shaw described Christmas in Palestine; Miss Camille Gilberto, a club member, described her trip abroad; and Miss Louise Mudgett, director of dramatics at the Y. NY. C. A., spoke about dramatics as a vocation. 172 1 Bowling Club This year again the Howling Club of the Belmont High School, composed of a large and enthusiastic number of both boys and girls, has completed a most successful season. I’nder the supervision of Mr. O’Connor the organization, like many others in the school, was unable to get an earlier start than January, but once it truly got going it made the pins fall at an astonishing rate. This year the enlarged membership of the club necessitated the formation of three separate leagues. With approximately thirty members in each league, two of these were centered at the Waverley alleys while the other frequented the School Street establishment. 'File officers for the girls were Kvelyn King, Rose Tricorni, and Sylvia Parker, while the boys had Robert I’orand and Charles Pelleriti. As always a large number of the club’s members participated in the New England Howling Tournament. Much enjoyment was gained from this contest, and two Belmont girls, Sylvia Parker and Kvelyn King, were among the winning contestants. At present the plans for closing the season are not completed, although a banquet, similar to last year’s is under consideration. In any event, the organization feels that it has gained much in the way of enjoyment and exercise from the bowling in which they engaged, and hopes that next year’s club will continue their success. 1731 Band Orchestra 174 1 Spanish Club The Spanish Club has enjoyed a most successful year under the leadership of Miss Dorntee ami its officers; Malcolm Smith, President; Marjorie (iurney, Vice-President; Marjorie Cook, Secretary; Muriel I)a Costa, Treasurer; and John Murphy, Press Agent. After two years of inactivity, the Circulo Kspanol has l een reorganized this year, through the help and cooperation of several pupils interested in its activities. This club was originally formed for a dual purpose: that of enlarging its knowledge of the Spanish speaking countries of the world, and that of pleasure At the meetings there have been several interesting talks on Peru, and initiation ceremonies for all the members. The biggest event of the year was the Pan-American Day assembly on April the 14th at which moving pictures of a trip through South America were shown. The club also assisted in selling candy at the operetta. It has met at least twice a month on the first and third Tuesday afternoons. In May a dance was given by the smaller clubs of the school, including the Spanish Club. The members appreciate the assistance rendered by Miss Dorntee and wish that future members may have great success in the years to come in keeping the Spanish Club a growing organization. [75] German Club 'Hie public activities of the German Club during 1938 and 1939 have been very limited, due to the fact that there has been only one German class of seventeen students. Regardless of this, however, it was ably conducted under the guidance of Miss Dorntec and a group of officers with Roy Jenkins as President, Lloyd Philpott as Vice-President and Cornclic Sell as Secretary and Treasurer. Cornelie had just arrived from Germany, and gave the club a true German atmosphere. Due to her kindness several members were able to correspond with some of her friends in Germany. The pin of the club is a small dachshund standing on a bar upon which is printed the name of the organization, “Die Dachshunde. The members of the club are as follows: Trijntje Auer. David Carr, Harriet Fiskcn, Mildred Hanson, Roy Jenkins, Wilfred Marcotte, Stanley Mc( leod, Jane Merrihcw, Paul Murphy, Lloyd Philpott, Mary Reardon, Cornelie Sell, Richard Smith. Rerle Stanley, Claire Tito, Hill Trube, and Louise Zulalian. At the meetings which were held on the first and third Fridays of each month, songs of the various German universities were sung ami refreshments afterwards were served. 'Flic members felt that l eing a small group helped them to enjoy their meetings. They sincerely hope that next year’s club will enjoy themselves as much as they did. 1761 French Club The French Club has been a glowing success in spite of the fact that it was only started this year. With the cooperation of the students and under the excellent leadership of Miss Bridey it has had from its inception a membership of over one hundred students from the second, third, and fourth year classes. It is admirably conducted under its officers: Robert Glass, President; Betty Henley, Vice-President; Shirley Letts, Secretary; and Jessie Tufts, Treasurer, and its meetings are wholly carried on in French according to French rules of order. In well executed meetings we have had such fine entertainment as an enjoyable French play put on by the members. A young French graduate student at Harvard has given us a greater understanding of French customs and traits, and also an excellent insight into our own country by his whimsical remarks from impersonal observations. The ?se features, together with French games and songs, have brought us a wider enjoyment of the French language and a broader understanding of the French people. A club that commenced as a success, the French club holds great promise for continued pleasure for future classes. I77J OPERETTA by vw.S. pKtCYnAH ACTIVITIES Senior Play The Senior Class decided to present, as its Senior play for the past year “Clarence,” a comedy in four acts by Booth Tarkington. The play was a success whether on the stage, screen, or radio, and our class felt assured of a profitable performance. The efforts of the east and the seniors as a whole were rewarded by the presence of a large and appreciative audience. Clarence Smith (John Tracey) is mistaken by the secretary (Ruth Ripley) of Mr. Wheeler (Robert Griffin) as a job-hunter. Clarence witnesses a family row of the Wheelers so calmly that Mr. Wheeler sends him out to his home as a man-of-all-work. During the course of the play Clarence succeeds in untangling the mix-ups of the various members of the family. Mrs. Wheeler (Margaret Coffey) recovers the love of her husband which she is losing to Miss Pinney (Shirley Larmour). Cora Wheeler (Ella Jane Davies) is infatuated with Hubert Stem (Robert Glass), who in turn loves M iss Pinney. Bobby (Everett Throndscn) Cora’s brother, is meanwhile worried about having kissed Della, the maid (Helen Sullivan), who is engaged to the butler, Dinwiddie (Richard Akeroyd). After Clarence cleverly, but at times unwittingly, straightens out the family’s affairs, he reveals his identity as a renowned entomologist. Cora and Bobby are sent to boarding-school while Dinwiddie and Della, and ( larcncc and Miss Pinney plan to get married. Mr. Southworth, our coach, was aided by many efficient committees. Much of our success is due to both of these parties. 180J Fiesta Oil Friday and Saturday, February 10th ami 11th, a oast of 7.5 studonts presented the world premiere of “Fiesta, ’ a new operetta about old ( alifornia just prior to and during the Mexican War of 1848. The songs were written by Phyllis Brown Freeman, the words by her father, Verne B. Brown, of Santa Monica, (’alifornia, and the music was orchestrated and directed by her husband, Warren S. Freeman, supervisor of music in the Belmont Public Schools. The capable cast was as follows: Senor Don Juan Gomez Senora Gomez, his wife Isabella, their daughter Juanita Friends of Isabella ('oncliita Dolores Rosiia, a young servant girl Lieutenant Window Hill Owens, his friend Pablo Soldiers of the Mexican Army Joseph (iustie Margaret Coffey Dorothy Parker Ruth Ripley Charlotte Tucker Patricia James Stephanie Burton Raymond Hamel George Smith John Tracey Charles Jefferson Raymond Ripley Richard Akeroyd Robert Daniels Dana Reed Caleb Kendall llartolo K atony Manuel, the villain Jose 1 Manuel’s Pedro j companions Father Felipe, a Spanish Padre The chorus supporting the cast was: Martha Albro, Mary Barker.
