Here each evening, in addition to the music of the Trub Trubedours, a magnificent floor-show is presented, starring such well-known entertainers as Howard Parker, direct from Arthur Murray’s in Xew York, and his partner, Mi.ss Pat Fiehling, in a hilarious exhibition of that ([uaint, old-fashioned dance step, the Jive. Here, too, we have that outstanding comedian, Jimmy Drab, in his inimitable IJHio version of Stepin F ' etchit, and that gorgeous dancer. Miss Harriet Fisken, in an authentic Hawaiian hula. But now, on with the music, and for his first number Hill has .selected the popular new ballad by Preston “Brother” Hicks, entitled. “Foo, Foo.” The vocal will be done by a charming little blues singer. Miss Natalie Sears. :f: : c Announcer : Among the celebrities here tonight we note the popular actress, Mi.ssPhyllis Thompson, .seated at the table of the owner of this beautiful night club, Mr. Robert Rougeot. At his table also are Mr. Ross Burns, recently re- turned from a skiing exhibition at Sun Valley, and his charming wife, the former Phoebe Neal. ( ur club is filled this evening with famous personages from nearby Belmont. Today that town celebrated the return of many of her favorite sons and daughters, who came to participate in the festivities of the twenty-fifth anniversary of their graduation from Belmont High School. Over to my right I see (irace John.son, famous for her portrayal of “Baby Snooks;” .seated beside her, re.splendant in his blue and gold uniform, is Captain Robin Mack. Mack started his nautical career filling holes in old boats and by constant “plugging” has achieved the post of Captain of the South Boston Ferry. Seated near them is that shining star of New York .society. Miss Stephanie Burton, accompanied by Profe.s.sor (ieorge Nacknikian, the great mathematician, author of Figures Don’t Lie, Or B Men Leave Home. Approaching the center of the hall I see the well-known fashion designer. Miss Skippy (iill, accompanied by the .socially prominent. Miss Ann Ma.son. For our next number we had intended to pre.sent the famous ( ' ough Drop duo, the Smith Brothers, Bill and Dick, but owing to the fact that both have 44 developed severe attaeks of hoarseness, they will be unable to i)erforni; so in their plaee we shall substitute those popular comedians, Jack Slifer and Don ( ampbell, direct from a record-breaking appearance on Broadway. Ladies and gentlemen, Slifer and Campbell! Announcer : We return you now to our studio. H: :}: 5k 5k Announcer: This is Station WBHS in Belmont, Mas.saehusetts. Through the courte.sy of the McMurdie Discount and Finance Corporation, whose slogan is, “Here today, gone to borrow,” we bring you Dave (Jardner and the latest news from the world of sports. Gardner: (iood evening, sport fans! Out at the Belmont Country ( ' lub this afternoon we saw a most thrilling elima.x to the National Open Match when Paul Donahue came from behind to edge out last year’s winner, Eddie Egan, by the margin of a single stroke on the thirty-sixth hole. On approaching the final green, Mr. Egan mistook an egg lying on the fairway for his golf ball. Said Mr. Egan after the match, “I guess the yoke’s on me.” While this was going on at Belmont, out in Indiana, Eugene “Jeep” Libby broke the track record in the Forty-third Annual Indianapolis Speedway Race in his powerful Sheerin Supercharger. Brendan Boundy, coach of the New York Orangers’ Hockey Team, does not seem di.scouraged at his team’s record of fifty-two straight los.ses. In a statement today. Coach Boundy .said, “Wait till next year.” Up at Hanover, John J. Mur|)hy, athletic director of Dartmouth, announced the appointment of Herbie Arieo as coach of the (Ireen’s football .squad for the coming year. Reid Buckley, manager of the Boston Bees, informed us over the ’phone this evening that Lefty Hazlett, after pitching his team to two victories in the W’orld Series last year, is holding out for a salary of $45,000. This is your sports commentator, Dave (lardner. I’ll be back at the same time tomorrow night with more news from the world of sports. 45 Announcer: This is Station WBHS, Belmont, bringing you the latest weather report. The next voice you hear will be that of ( harles Cashin, the gloomy weather man. Hfi ( ' ashin: (iood evening, everybotly! From the appearance of the weather map this evening tomorrow will be a fairly good day. This evening will be un- usually cold for this time of year; the indications arc that there will be a slight frost on Belmont Hill, while down in the Winn Brook, a heavy fog is expected. Announcer: This weather report is .sent to you through the courtc.sy of Berndt’s Bakery. Don’t forget; always ask for Berndt Bread. Wc now bring you our own news commentator, Wally . hern. Ahern: (iood evening, Mr. and Mrs. North .Vmerica and all the fish at sea! This is Wally . hern, the voice of Belmont, giving you the latest news flashes. This was a big day in Belmont, fpr the famous class of 1940 gathered at Belmont High School to celebrate its twenty-fifth anniversary. In addition to the leading citizens of the town, members of the class from distant cities appeared to lend glamour to the occasion. Of course, the highlight of the day was the visit to Belmont of our fellow- townsman and member of the class of 1940, the President of the I ' nited States, Richard Whiting. . t ( ' oncord . venue Field tonight a monster gathering heard the President address his former classmates. Other members of the cla.ss who spoke briefly were Senator Howard Sharpe, Miss (iertrude Moore, President of Wellesley ( ' ollege; and the candidate for (iovernor of the State, Gordon Scott who has been running for the past eighteen years. . t present he is employed as a lunch-guarder on the local WPA project, which is tearing down the sliding doors in the high .school gym. Miss Eleanor Lynch, . mba.ssador to France, although expected to attend the reunion, cabled that she had lost her French dictionary and did not remember the French for “ticket to .Vmerica;’’ con.sequcntly Mi.ss Lynch was marooned in Paris. One of the features of the celebration was the reception tendered Mr. H. Lloyd Philpott, profe.s.sor at Luna Tech. The chairman of the committee. District .Vttorney Herbert (Griffith, pre.sented Profes.sor Philpott with a gold medal, the gift of the citizens of Belmont. The Profe.s.sor, after many years of intensive study, recently j)ropoundc l the amazing theory that “Walls keep the ceiling from resting on the floor.’’ 46 A special dispatch brings word that Miss Muriel DaCosta and Miss Muriel Fleming have had paint ings accepted by the French Academy, it will be re- membered that Miss Fleming got her start in the world of art when she painted her father’s house while a pupil at Belmont High. (’lark Kendall, who became an amnesia victim immediately after taking his final examination in advanced math, has recently recovered his memory. Mr. Kendall says it all .seems like a dream in the fourth dimension. This concludes my news broadcast; and .so until tomorrow I remain your Belmont correspondent, Wally Ahern, who w ' onders how many of the class proph- ecies mafle in 1940 have become the realities of 1965. 4 : 4 : Announcer: Station WBHS now pre.sents a late evening preview of high- lights in tomorrow’s program from this station. , 1 p.m. A talk on Beauty Culture by that famous authority.

Daniels 49 FOOTBALL This year’s Red and Blue aggregation ean proudly boast a better than average season. For when the dust of the many battles had lifted, Belmont rested securely in a top tie for Middle.sex League honors with Winchester, despite the fact that the latter outfit tasted defeat at the hands of our eleven, who incidentally went through the .season unbeaten and unseored upon in league competition. Two early-sea.son .scorele.ss deadlocks with Stoneham and Maynard, in which the Belmont force was vastly superior, marred the otherwi.se elean record and brought about the afore-mentioned title. Outside of the league the team did not fare so well. Weymouth and the heat took a 6-0 toll in the initial encounter. Columbus Day .saw the Red and Blue, riddled with injuries, soundly defeated by a (’ambridge Latin team. In its next engagement, Belmont bounced back into the win column with a clo.se decision over strong Framingham and then dropped a 14-0 verdict to ( ' lass B leaders Brookline. Five and six touch down routs of Lexington and ( ' oncord brightened the .schedule while giving an idea of the power the team pos.ses.sed . Thank.sgiving Day proved a headache to the loeal gridsters. Succumbing to an air raid that filled the ether with pigskin, Belmont fell vietim to a fine Watertown eleven by a ' ■2.)-6 score that in no way indicates the clo.seness of the contest. Fos.sessing no individual star, the team functioned as a unit. The baekfield showed flashes of speed and power, while the line at times was immense, ( ' onsid- erable eredit must be given to our coach, Mr. Xewell, for his efforts, to his assist- ants, the Messrs. MeCovern and llus.son, and to “Doc” (irinold for the numerous .serviees he performed in our behalf. 52 4,1 ii r Lot ' If 0 1 V L pP|lB|B L SOCCER TEAM When Mr. Wenner first realized that only two lettermen. Captain Paul Cahalane and Ray Ripley, were available for soccer, his hopes for a successful season were not too high. Through a little high-pressure salesmanship, some promising Juniors and Seniors became squad members; the result, however, left much to be desired. The highlight of the year was the penalty kick by Lowry Roobyan, converted basketball star, which resulted in Belmont’s sole victory, (ireat praise is due ( ' aptain Cahalane and Captain-elect Bill Mannix for their stellar performances in every game. Although Belmont could not boast the league’s highest .scoring line, it certainly took the size honors; for the team’s forward wall consisted of no lesser brutes than Manuel Silva, Jimmie Devlin, Ray Ripley, Lowry Roobyan, and George Clifford. 54 FIELD HOCKEY Challenged by the admirable records of former teams, the Belmont High School hockey squad of 1939 started its season determined not to let down the standard. Inspired by the goal they had set for themselves, the girls, under Coach Jane Hill’s able management, began a drive for an undefeated season by scoring a victory over their arch rivals, the Arlingtonians. With this added impetious, it was an easy task to down Concord to the tune of 4-0. Overconfidence, perhaps, accounted for the defeat of Belmont by Winchester and Lexington and although hopes for a perfect record were gone, the squad’s spirit svyere not crushed. For- tune again smiled at the Watertown and Winthrop games as the team emerged with two ties. The season ended in a blzae of glory as Malden went down to defeat be fore the B. H. S. girls with the overwhelming score of 5-1. The last official act of the team was the election of next years leaders, Ann Pettingill, Captain and the Walz Twins, Co-managers. Those receiving letters are: E. Donahue K. Ray K. Congdon J. McCoubrey B. Kimball K. Quinlan E. March M. Keefe A. Pettingill S. Burton M. Gilberto, Manager ] r. Albro, Captain M. Carroll 56 HOCKEY Displaying the drive and figlit so characteristic of all Belmont teams, the 1939-40 hockey sextet made a respectable showing in the fast (Ireater Boston I eague. Paced by Captain “Putto” Murphy, the team reached the highest place in the league standing since the glorious days of George Ford. Polly’s pucksters were fast and aggressive, constantly bombarding the enemy cage, but they were slightly on the erratic side. Skating to an early lead with a win over highly-touted Melrose, the Belmont forces looked like potential cham- pions, but lapses in territorial coverage and a spasmodic offensive attack frus- trated first-place dreams. Becau.se of their stellar play. Captain Murphy, Charlie Cashin, “Dasher” Daley, and Bill Talbot were cho.sen on the Greater Boston All-Star Teams that defeated Catholic High of Montreal, Boston College Fre shmen and the Bay State League All-Stars.

This was a disappointment to (’oach Wei Wenner who had high expecta- tions for this year’s quintet with such competent lettermen as ( ' aptain Burns, Donahue, Buckley, and Hoohyan returning and with Bill Peppard ably filling in the other guard {)osition, but because of poor breaks and lack of baskets they never got started. The .sea.son was highlighted by the close competition of ( ' aptain Burns and Donahue in a highscoring duel in which the former won out and also by the Wennermen’s smashing victory over the undefeated faculty in the annual post season fracas. The squad consisted of Bill Peppard, Lowry Roobyan, Ross Burns, Paul Donahue, Reid Buckley, Warren Sheering, Tom O’Xeil, Eddie arsh, Parker (’arleton, Herbie Griffith, “Smokey” Kelleher, Bill Mannix, and (xuy .Jack.son. The eight lettermen were Burns, Donahue, Buckley, Roobyan, Peppard, Kelleher, (iriffith, and Sheerin. ( ' o-captains Marsh and Mannix were elected for next year. 58 WRESTLING In an effort to have a more varied athletic program ] Ir. Harris introduced the strategic sport of wrestling into the Belmont High School. This group of powerful pachyderms was under the expert tutelage of ( ' oach “Larry” McGovern and although late in getting started, came along fast to enter the Massachusetts Interscholastic Wrestling Tourney to bid for “class titles.” Following these bouts Mctioverns gruesome grapplers were hosts to the Koxbury Latin outfit and dropped a close decision in the last few bouts. The boys wound up a fairly good season on April 3 in an exhibition match with the Perkins Institute of Water- town. The squad includes: Tony Boschetti, Dick (iarafano, Eddie Giblin, Tom Hazlett, Captain, Russ Holden, Pere Holmes, (R1 Krulee, Tony LaScola, Bill McDougal, Jim Mantineo, Phil O’Dell, Tom Regan, Rob Rooney, Lowry Roobyan, Dom Rizzo, Jordie Silver, and Harry Willard. 59 GIRLS’ BASKETBALL Althougli the girls’ basketball squad did not succeed in winning all their games this year, it had a very successful season as far as fun and good sportman- ship are concerned. Having practised for two weeks under ( ' oach Grey’s direc- tion, the girls opened their season by tying the Lexington girls in a class game. The following week the varsity team was picked to plaj ' its first game against . rlington at Arlington, but unfortunately lost the game to their opponents. -Vfter dropping another game to their “grudge” rivals, Winchester, the Belmont girls finally trimmed ( ' oncord by a very large margin. The last game with Lexing- ton was so close that it proved a hard one to lose. The team had as its captain, Natalie Paige, a guard, and as its manager, Katherine ( ' ongdon. Those girls that participated in the varsity games and received their letters are: Natalie Paige, ( ' aptain Mildred Betts Mildred (iilberto Barbara Nowell .Jessie Tufts Margaret Keefe Katherine Quinlan Margaret Heines Martha Lynn Roberta Berry 60 BASEBALL This year’s Red and Blue aggregation of “willow wielders” was ealled out the second week of April by Coach Harris, and by the turnout of potential “Big Leaguers” a very successful season seems in store. M entor “Polly,” looks forward to one of the best seasons in years, with such formidable veterans as ' urJ)hy, Buckley, Hazlett, Cashin, Egan, (luthrie, and Toomey returning from last year’s campaign. The elo.sest battles for positions will take place behind the bat, around the initial .sack and probably the keystone hassock, with Buckley, Hazlett, and Swaine bearing the brunt of the mound duty. The Harrismen open the season at Winchester, April ‘24, where they play the very competent Winchester contingent, which may be Belmont’s only Water loo as far as copping the gonfalon in the Middle.sex Circuit is concerned. The schedule is a s follows: Wednesday April 24 Belmont at Yinchester Friday April 26 Reading at Belmont Tuesflay April 30 Belmont at ( ' oncord Friday Alay 3 Belmont at Reading Tuesday May 7 Belmont at Maynard Friday May 10 Stoneham at Belmont Tuesday May 14 Manchester at Belmont Friday May 17 Belmont at Lexington Tuesday May 21 C oncord at Belmont Wednesday May 22 M atertown at Belmont Tuesday May 28 Maynard at Belmont hTiday May 31 Belmont at Stoneham Tuesday June 3 Lexington at Belmont 61 TRACK Though the season is yet to open, the prospects for another Wenner-coached powerhouse are unusually bright. Aided by (lej)endable upper classmen and a promising group of sophomores, optimimism is the word of the day. Arico, ( ' arleton, Imler, Apt, and Hennes.sy are fully capable of bearing the sprinting burdens, while Whiting, Long, Cahalane, and Weeks should take ami)le care of the middle-distances. The field event outlook is not quite so roseate, even though valuable points are assured in the broad jump. I ' ndoubtedly high-jumpers and shot-putters will blos.som forth with the sea.son to evenly balance the team. With the cindermen’s brawn and “Uncle” Mel’s much-needed brains, a winning com- bination seems inevitable. All efforts this year will be directed to bringing back to Belmont the coveted ( lass B State Trophy. Sandwiched in between the annual Fitchburg Relays and the Needham and Middlesex Interscholastics are a veritable .store of inter- esting dual meets, with Lynn English and the Amherst Relays lending new names to the schedule. Whatever may be the prospects, it is the unenviable task of this year’s team to maintain the high standards and fine record .set by past Bel- mont scpiads. BOYS’ TENNIS GIRLS’ TENNIS STUDENT COUNCIL The responsibilities whieh devolved on the Student Council during the past year were well handled under the direction of our efficient an l competent advisor, Mr. Iligginbottom, and president, Ruth Luetters. The treasury is abounding because of the proceeds from various activities such as the sale of candy at the football and basketball games, and the profits from our informal dance. The -students generou-sly supported our efforts at the athletic games and the dance was socially and financially succe-ssful. The Council was instrumental in arrang- ing medical assistance for tho.se who were injured while competing in the sports and in -sending flowers to students who were ab-sent from .school for any length of time. Repre-sentatives were .sent to the Eastern Division of Student Couneil Convention held at Natick, Massachu.setts. Also, the Council carried out and propo.sed many suggestions. Among these, the introduction of the Traffic Patrol System, the .sale of candy at basketball games, the .sponsoring of a danee in honor of the Thank.sgiving Day game, and not only the.se, but innumerable other activities of interest to the .school and student body. The officers for the year were: Mr. Iligginbottom, Iclri.sor; Ruth buetters. President; Jack flenne.s.sey, ’ice-President; Mary ( ' arraher, Secretartj. (iS NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY Under the able supervision of [r. Higginbottom, the Belmont Chapter of the National Honor Society has become more and more an ins{)iring factor in school life. It offers a real incentive for the attainment of excellence among stu- dents. In 1939, the following members of the organization were accepted: Richard Whiting, President; Raymond Ripley, Vice-President; (iertrude Moore, Secretary; Jessie Tufts, Treasurer ; Helen Alexander, Roberta Berry, Muriel DaCosta, iMildred Drolette, Marjorie Elmes, David Gardner, Barbara Kimball, Ann Mason, Jean O’Donnell, Phyllis Thomp.son, Charlotte Tucker, and Stanley Warshaw. The members acceptetl this year were initiated at an impressive ceremony in May, 1940. The National Honor Society, as it was originally conceived, deemed high Scholarship a requisite in awarding its honors; today, however, the Society also recognizes Leadership, Service, and Character in receiving new members, and thus has broadened the scope of its influence. 09 ORCHESTRA BAND 70 LATIN CLUB The Latin Club, “Summa” has just concluded a most successful year under the guidance of INIiss Steuerwald, iNIiss Johnson, and Mrs. MacRury, who took ] Iiss Johnson’s place when she was ill at the beginning of the year. The officers for theyear w ' ere : Ilow ard Sharpe and Jean O’Donnell as Consuls, ( Co- presidents) ; Elizabeth Paulas Quaestor Tabularium, (Secretary); Stuart Cleveland as Quaestor Aerari, ( Treasurer), and Constance Joslinand Charles Kohler as Censors, ( Member- ship Committee). The members have enjoyed many interesting meetings, including lectures on Pompeii and Herculaneum by Miss Hutchins of the Boston iMuseum of Fine Arts, and by Professor Robathan of Wellesley College. This organization is a great stimulus to further study of Latin and the Roman civilization for the conventional costume of the Romans is w ' orn by the officers and the Traditional Roman customs are emphazised. 71 RED CROSS CLUB The National Junior Red Cross is one of long standing and far reaching enter- prise. In the high school, the Junior Red Cross has been carrying on its activities for several years. The scope of its work is of necessity limited, but within these bounds they do much constructive work. Their first activity takes place in early fall; as soon as the club is organized; a tlrive for funds is launched. This year the money was used to fill Christmas boxes for Polish children, to finance a party at Christmas for underprivileged youngsters, and to contribute twenty-five dollars to the milk fund in Boston. The Red Cross Club cheers the lot of many veterans with menu covers on the holidays, favors at Easter, and by filling their cookie jars. They aided the local senior chapter to launch their drive by joining in the Red Cross parade through Belmont. Eleanor Lynch and Betty Akeroyd represent the club at the Boston Metro- politan Chapter House where meetings for these Juniors delegates are held monthly. The Boston meeting enables scho ols to exchange ideas and to receive suggestions from the Director of the Juniors. There are thirty-five active members who carry on the work under the guid- ance of iSIiss Onthank. The president of the organization for the past two years has been Stephanie Burton. The vice president, Phyllis Thompson, Marjorie Cook is secretary and Edward Berndt, treasurer. BELMONTIAN CLUB The Belmontian Club has experienced another successful year under the expert guidance of Miss Miller and the leadership of its officers, Jessie Tufts, President; Harriet Fisken, Vice-President; Miriam Fleming, Secretary; and Elea- nor Birch, Treasurer. Cynthia McKee, as chairman of the program committee, secured some fine entertainment for the club, while Harriet Fisken and Phyllis Thompson were excellent co-chairmen of the refreshment committee. Throughout the year, the club has had the opportunity to hear many enter- taining, as well as educational programs. Readings were given by Mrs. Hazel Chandler Parks, whose work is familiar to us all, and also by Miss Louise Miller of Emerson College. We were fortunate in obtaining such excellent speakers as Margaret Eggleston Owen and Mrs. von Ladau, of the Jackson von Ladau School of Fashion Design. The club was successful in presenting several plays this year. The first of this type of entertainment was a one-act play entitled, “Between Dances,” the next was a combination play and pageant, “Where Lies the Child,” which was also presented to the school; the last plays given at a meeting were entitled, “Nobody’s Home” and “Husbands Supply” and directed by Miss Seeley of Emerson College. Besides these, the annual Belmontian play, entitled “The Mad Hatters” was presented in April. A fashion show, sponsored by Filiene’s, with some of the club members act- ing as models, and last but not least, a formal dance, given in May, drew an effective conclusion to the club’s activities for the year. 73 DEBATING CLUB Although the Debating (’lub as it is now organized is five years old, the history of debating in Belmont High School is a long one. The first on organiza- tion called “The Belmont High School Literary and Debating Society,’’ was formed in 1898. Among the charter members was Miss Gertrude Miller. This year’s club has a membership of twenty with : Howard Sharpe, President; Gilbert Krulee, ice- President; Eleanor Lynch, Secretary; and Alan Cherry, Treasurer. Mrs. Horn.sey, the coach, instructs the members in the finer points of con- tention. They have held two debates with both Arlington and Concord over the question. Resolved: “The Federal (iovernment Should Own and Operate the Itailroads.’’ So indicate the really conservative nature of debating clubs it might be added that in all four ca.ses the negative side was victorious. Although preparation for debates with other schools occupies the attention of the members, still there are inter-club debates throughout the year. Open forum discu.ssions enable all to voice their opinions extemporaneou.sly. 71 FRENCH CLUB The French Club enjoyed unusual success during 1939 and 1940 under the capable leadership of Miss Bridey. This year it has a membership of about one hundred and ten students from the second, third, and fourth year classes. The officers of the club are: Raymond Ripley, President; Jean O’Donnell, Vice- President; Gertrude Moore, Secretary; Stanley Warshaw, Treasurer. Several interesting meetings have been held; the first meeting was a French “Information Please’’ program, with a “board of experts’’ made up of members of the club. On another occasion, a lecture, illustrated by films, was given about Paris. At still another meeting, the members heard a most enlightening talk given by Mrs. F. Everett Dyer, a Frenchwoman who described, from personal knowledge, present conditions in war-time France. The Christmas program, consisting of games and French carols played by some of the club’s own musicians, was very much enjoyed. These meetings have brought to us a deeper understanding of the French people as well as a finer appreciation of their language and their country. It is hoped that next year’s club will continue to enjoy as much success and pleasure as was experienced this year. At the April meeting, slides and sketches by some art students illustrated a discussion of tendencies in Modern French Arts and corresponding tendencies in French Music. SPANISH CLUB Under the leadership of Malcolm Smith, President; Herbert Arico, Vice- President; Eleanor Birch, Secretary, and Janice Walker, Treasurer, the Spanish ( ' lub enjoyed its second successful year since its revival in 1938. The club’s activities were ably guided and supervised by Miss Dorntee, the Spanish teacher. For the second time, the club voted to remain Spanish in preference to Fan- American although English is spoken mainly at the meetings. A full program of events was carried out at the monthly meetings of which the most important were the Pan-American Day and Farewell to Seniors Party. The.se features plus the Spanish games and songs have increased the interest in this modern language, and the members all hope that Miss Dorntee and her future clubs will have years as excellent and successful as ours. 76 GIRL RESERVES The Belmont Girl Reserves, the younger girls’ group of the Boston Y. W. ( ' . A., began their club year by having a “cook-out” supper at Cedar Hill in Waltham. The newly-elected president told of her week’s stay at the Girl Re- serve Conference at Camp Pequot in Connecticut where she acted as a represen- tative of the Girl Reserves Clubs in greater Boston. It was during this conference that she gained a great deal of valuable information concerning the relationship between the Girl Reserves and the Y. W. (’. A., and also had the opportunity of hearing the problems, the functions, and constructions of the (iirl Reserves (dubs in the New England States. The officers for the year 1939-1940 were as follows: Aliss Nielsen, President; (ieraldine Amodeo, Vice-President; Ann Amodeo, Secretary; Genevieve Wells, Treasurer. At the Christmas meeting, the dramatic group presented the play “The Boy of the Meadow,” after which Waissal and cookies were served. “Personality” proved to be an interesting topic for discussion during one of the meetings, and so was followed up by discussions concerning “Clothes” and “Boy and (iirl Relations.” The last meeting of the club was held in May at which time the new officers were installed and an interesting entertainment followed. Two delegates from Belmont were .sent to the Mid- Winter (’onference at Lowell where a testimonial was given, dinner was served, and interesting topics were discus.sed by the girls. Next year will be the fifth anniversary of the club and its members hope to find the insignia of Girl Reserves — a circle — the symbol of internationalism — and within the circle a triangle signifying service, loyalty, and friendship — more prominent in the life of each of its members. BELMONTIA This year marked the appearance of Belmoniia, a paper devoted to the news and activities of Belmont High School. The first two editions of the paper were mimeographed, but .so enthusiastically was Belmontia received that it was po.ssi- hle to have the third number printed, and the paper has appeared in that form at intervals since then. I’aul 1). Mnrphy was appointed its first Editor-in-( ' hief, and he and his staff, under the capable guidance of Mr. ( ' arl (i. Ohson, of the faculty have worked hard to j)roduce an attractive and interesting publication. The Staff of Belnumtia: Paul 1). Murphy, Editor-in-( ' hief ; David (iardner. Sports Editor; Howard Sharpe, Business Manager; Lloyd Philpott, Circulation Manager; ( ' arl (1. Ohson, Eacultg Idriser. Members of the Staff; Bernice Bean, Margaret Black, Alan Cherry, Stuart Cleveland, Holland (’otter, Caroline Cox, Hollis Holden, (iilbert Krulee, Eugene Libl)y, Elizabeth Orr, Ruth Stevens, Joan Wright. SENIOR PLAY As its Senior Play for the j ast year, the Senior ( ' lass deeided to i resent a well-known eomedy, “Bachelor Born,’’ by Ian Hay. In sj)ite of a rij)-roaring blizzard, a large and aj)j)reeiative audience was i re.sent and plea.santly snrprisecl by the excellent histrionics of the cast. Barbara Fane (Jnlia Doyle ),di.s,sati.sfied with the demoralizing etfeet of Paris, on her nieces. Button (Phoebe Neal), Rosemary (Phyllis Thompson), and ( hris (iNrargery Hayes) decided to bring them to her old friend, (’harles Donkin (Harry (Jarrett), who is a Hon.semaster at arbledown School for Boys. The students (Paul IN.Tirphy, Raymond Ripley, Jack Slifer, Herbert Arico, and Francis Sharkey) and the j)rofcssors (Donald ( ' ampbell, Milliam Lindroth, and Stanley Marshaw) are properly wowed by the bewitching and romantic antics of the girls. Because Donkin finds it difficult to maintain order in his House, the Headmaster (Robert Lawthers) demands his resignation; but through the clever manipulation of Sir Berkley ( Malcolm Smith), Mr. Ovington is ap- pointed to fill another position, and Donkin succeeds him as Head. Throughout the play, Donkin remains impervious to the romantic bustle all about him and remains to the end, a true bachelor. Other capable members of the cast were Aliss Nielson and Barbara Cole as matron and maid, respectively. The Senior Play committee was eomposed of the following: Malcolm Smith, Barbara Kimball, Harriet F ' isken, and Jeanne MeC’ou- brey. 79 THE GONDOLIERS On the evenings of January 18 and 19, the lusic Department of the Belmont Senior High School, under the direction of Mr. Freeman, presented the famous (dlhcrt and Sullivan operetta, “The Gondoliers,” for the benefit of the Sanford B. ( ' ornery Scholarship Fund. The plot complicates it.self about the lost heir to the throne of Barataria who was mixed up in infancy with the .sons of a Venetian gondolier. It is believed that one of the.se .sons is the rightful king, but finally he is found to be Luiz, the Duke’s drummer-boy. The capable cast was as follows: The Duke of Plaza-Toro (a (irandcc of Spain) Luiz (his attendant) .... Dou Aldamhra Del Bolero (the Grand Inquisitor) Mareo Palmieri . ... . (iiii.seppe Palmieri . ... . Aptouio ...... Frauee.seo ...... (iiorgio ...... Annibale ...... The Duchess of Plaza-Toro Casilda, (her daughter) .... Gianetta ...... Tessa ....... Fiameita .....
