FOREWORD In the future, when the present events shall have become mere mem- ories, if this yearbook shall bring back to its readers a pleasant recol- lection of their days at Belmont High, its purpose will have been ful- filled.

FOOTBALL W ith a nucleus of six veterans, five of whom started the annual Turkey Day Classic with Watertown in the ’39 campaign, Captain Justin Walsh, Jimmie Shedd, “Ozzie” Henry, Joe West, and Alex MacLean, the head mentor, Mr. Newell held great expectations for the 1940 edition of the B. H. S. grid brigade. They not only fulfilled all of Mr. Newell’s fondest hopes and desires, but also exceeded all Main Street quarterbacks’ prognostications by decisively winning top honors in the Middlesex pigskin loop. The aggregation dropped but two decisions throughout their eight game schedule, these being to class “C” winners, Wey mouth, and defending class “B’ champs, Brookline. But as you know, every cloud is not the proverbial silver-lined affair it is cracked up to be, so the red and blue warriors found out, when they learned that their once postponed tilt with the traditional rival, Watertown, was not to be played at all. It was a great day for the Irish when fleet-footed Tommy O’Neil smeared Parker Carleton’s pass to put the initial fray, with Maynard, on ice, for a 13 to 6 victory. Belmont then chalked up 6 tallies to Stoneham’s o, for their second consecutive win, but that fateful day at Weymouth they met their Waterloo to the tune of 25 to 7. I he Belmont eleven steamrollered a strong Kail River outfit, on Columbus Day, till the scoreboard read 20 to 7, to hit their winning stride once again. ' I ' his victory might be credited in part to “Rock” Giblin’s fifth column activities, for he unintentionally sneaked into the Fall River huddle every time he got the chance. In the next engagement the red and blue stalwarts were held to a 6 to 6 tie by an inspired Framingham team. Bob Caskie and Buzz Olson were elected co-captains for the ’41 season, and although they are the only returning veterans the team promises to follow in the footsteps of the now past heroes. Well, the best wishes from the members of the 1940 outfit, to you future starlets. 18 SOCCER TEAM The soccer team passed a successful season under the able leadership ot Coach Wenner and Captain Bill Mannix. As in ’39, the team’s forward line was one of the smallest of the league, but fight made up for size proving the saying, “It isn’t the size of the man in the fight, but the size of the fight in the man.” Not only a team, but many fast friendships were formed, which after all, are one of the most important reasons for having school teams. Next year will undoubtedly see a far better squad since six ot this season’s first team, three of whom were chosen for the All-Star team, will again be soccer men next year. Belmont closed the season by having Captain Mannix, Ed Marsh, and Erling Klafstad, Captain-elect chosen on the All-State team. { 10 FIELD HOCKEY Under the able direction of Coach Dorothy Cash and leadership of Captain Ann Pettingell and Doris and Ursula Walz, managers, the Belmont High School field hockey team of 1940 got off to an optimistic start by leading Lexington through three-quarters of the game, only to have it end in a tie by means of a “penalty bully,” the use of which, even the umpire admitted, was rare. One doesn’t doubt this as the penalty is only inflicted when someone sits on the ball: This disappointment did not squelch the spirits of the players; however, it served as a prediction, for the majority of the games were ties. The last game with Watertown was postponed many times because of cold weather, but rather than cancel it, the teams agreed to play anyway. However, neither gained any- thing from this hardy experience except frozen limbs, as the game ended in a 0-0 tie. The last meeting of the squad was to appoint next year’s captain and man- ager who are: Tessie Smith, Captain ; and Audrey Cline, Manager. Those receiving letters are: Ann Millan, Carol O’Connor, Barbara Sullivan, Ann Pettingell, Audrey Young, Doris Walz, Rosemary O’Connell, Ursula Walz, Elsie March, Betty Cook, and Tessie Smith. Ol CROSS-COUNTRY TEAM The cross-country track team opened its first season in seven years under the leadership of co-captains Dick Gysan and George Weeks. Under the super- vision of Coach Olsen the team trained earnestly, taking trips out into the coun- try where the boys built up their endurance by strenuous training. Several members showed definite signs of improvement. The team showed up very well this year and there is promising material for the coming year. i 12 }• RIDING CLUB The Challedon Riding Club is one of the many active clubs in the Belmont High School. The club consists of about twenty regular riders. This group rides every Tuesday afternoon and meets every Wednesday noon during utility period for a business meeting. They also study the parts of the horse and its equip- ment. The members of the club have had felts made for their jackets and later some of the members hope to have club pins. The club has been guest of and host to the Watertown Riding Club and have had very enjoyable associations with them. In the spring the club is going to put on a horse show for the student body. 03 STUDENT COUNCIL The Student Council this year has given us more and better assemblies than ever before. The series of very interesting speakers on a variety of subjects which were selected last year by the Council, has been received with great enthu- siasm by the students. The Council and Red Cross Club were generously sup- ported by the student body in their work of supplying many Christmas baskets with food and turkeys for needy families. By selling candy and ice cream at the football games and by sponsoring a dance during the February vacation, the Council kept the treasury supplied with funds. Besides these activities, the Council in its regular meetings carried on dis- cussions upon problems concerning the school and the students and attempted to find solutions. The officers for the year were: Mr. Higginbottom, Advisor ; Mary Carraher, President; Bill Mannix, Vice President ; Ruth Daniels, Secretary. f 14 } LATIN CLUB The Latin Club, “Summa,” has completed an extremely enjoyable year under the direction of Miss Eteuerwald and Miss Noreen, the faculty advisers. The officers for the year were: Robert Welch and Helen Masson as Consuls (co- presidents); Ruth Abbot, Quaestor Tabulamm (secretary); Joan Wright, Quaestor Aerarii (treasurer); with Arlene Ricci and George DeMars acting as Censors, (Membership Committee). The club has heard several interesting and instructive lecturers: Miss Johnson spoke before “Summa” on “I Am An Enemy of the Good” and also entertained the club with moving pictures of her trip in the Mediterranean. Miss Hutchings, from the Boston Museum of Fine Arts, lectured on “Homer and the Iliad” and “The Wanderings of Odysseus.” Dr. Herbert Magoun told us “The Use of Studying Latin” and Dr. Robert Green spoke about the Latin poet, Horace. {15 BELMONT HIGH SCHOOL BAND Keeping in mind the memorable accomplishments of the “World’s Fail- Band’’ of 1939-40, the band of this year, under the able direction of Warren S. f reeman, has taken large strides towards a complete symphonic organization. New uniforms purchased at the end of last year proved to bring much color to the field all during the football season. Some appearances of the band were at the Legion Parade, Annual Concert and Dance, and Installation of Junior Legionnaires. The Eastern and Western Massachusetts Festivals in the spring of 1941 were among the activities the band participated in. The membership is ever increasing with a steady flow coming in annually from the junior high. A new peak was reached with a total of eighty members. Instrumentation includes some unusual instruments such as the oboe and the bassoon. 1 16 1 HIGH SCHOOL ORCHESTRA The orchestra is one of the divisions of the music department of the Belmont High School. It consisted this year of about forty members. The orchestra supplied music for several ot the assemblies and also assisted in the operetta. It has been the custom of the orchestra at Christmas time to go around to the different schools of Belmont and present a short Christmas program, and this year made the thirty-fourth year that this custom has been carried out. The orchestra also plans to take part in the Spring Festival. 117 } JUNIOR RED CROSS CLUB The Junior Red Cross Club has accomplished wonders this year, giving aid and helping in all fields whenever possible. All this was due to the excellent guiding of Miss B. Onthank and the cooperation of: Betty Akeroyd, President; Ruth I.owery, Vice President; Helen Redmond, Secretary, and Patricia Burton, Treasurer. Among the club’s numerous activities for 1940-41 were: 1. The sponsoring of a Christmas Party for thirty needy children. 2. Giving Thanksgiving Baskets. 3. Sewing twenty bomb shelter suits for children abroad. 4. Making baby layettes. 5. Clothing twenty-four needy boys and girls. 6. Making Easter menus and favors for hospitals. The club wishes to thank all students and teachers who responded so gen- erously to our Annual Red Cross Drive, making it the most successful one in the history of this organization. { 18 } BELMONTIAN CLUB The Belmontian Club has experienced another successful year under the supervision of the Misses Mathews, Calderara, Blennerhasset, Onthank, and Mrs. Howarth. This year the club has a membership of three hundred with Nancy Rich, President ; Mary Carraher, Vice President; Barbara Dernier, Secretary; and Anne Pettingell, Treasurer. Rosemary O’Connell, as chairman of the program committee, secured some fine entertainment for the year, while Doris and Ursala Walz served as capable co-chairmen of the refreshment com- mittee. Throughout the year the members have enjoyed some interesting, as well as educational entertainment. Readings were given by Miss Anastasia Kirby, who is well-known on the radio. We were fortunate in securing such speakers as Dr. Helen MacGillicuddy and Mrs. von Laudau, of the von Laudau School of Fashion Design. With some of our own girls as models, we had a fashion show, sponsored by W m. Filene’s and Sons. At one of our meetings a play was given entitled “The Christmas That Bounced” which was also presented to the school at the Christ- mas assembly program, and, in addition, the annual Belmontian play, “Little Women,” was presented in April. A formal dance was given in May which brought the club’s activities to a successful conclusion. { 19 DEBATING CLUB The Belmont High School Debating Club has had a long and successful history since its founding in 1898 under the name ot the Belmont I,iterar and Debating Society, but the past season has proved to be one on the most active and interesting ot all. The club is composed of about thirty members with the following officers: Robert Welch as President , Margaret Black as Secretary, and Priscilla Greeley as Treasurer. During the past years we have been under the expert guidance ot M rs. Evelyn C. Elornsev. Our program for the first half year consisted of intia-club debates. Also a series of speech classes, under the direction of David Crockett, was arranged for interested members. The last half of the year was occupied by three inter-school debates with Concord, Arlington, and W atertown. I he intellectually stimulating topics were as follows: Resolved , “That the power of the federal government should be increased.” Resolved , “That chain stores should be taxed more, even dispro- portionately so, than independent stores.” f 20 FRENCH CLUB The French Club has enjoyed another successful year under the capable direction of Miss Bridey and the officers. This club has always had a popular appeal for students of French, and this year is no exception; the membership consists of one hundred girls and boys from second, third, and fourth year classes. The entertainment Committee’s plans included games, a Christmas play, a lecture in French, an annual contest for ambitious French students, and several other varied and interesting programs. The value of these meetings, which are conducted entirely in French, is not only the pleasure derived from them, but also the opportunity to gain ability in hearing and speaking the language. The officers for the year are Eva Appelbaum, President ; Doris Walz, Vice President; Josephine Salvo, Secretary ; Richard Davis, Treasurer. { 21 GIRL RESERVES The Belmont Girl Reserves were off to a good start with their first meeting in November. Under the capable guidance of Miss Richmond and their officers, Virginia Ferranti, President ; Julia Connelly, Vice President ; Genevieve Wells, Secretary; and Laura Malaguti, Treasurer, the club had a successful year. Inter- esting speakers, entertainment, and refreshments kept the meetings going at a brisk pace. To introduce new members to the aims and purposes of the Girl Reserves, the play “Down to F.arth’’ was presented at the first meeting. Old members participated in this event, and were rewarded for their efforts by an appreciative audience. During the year the club had the pleasure of hearing two excellent speakers. The first, Mrs. Mary Roy, spoke on “Christmas in Vienna” and her fascinating work in puppetry. Also at this Christmas meeting, gifts were brought by the members and distributed to children at the North F.nd Union. Because of her engaging discussion of Boy and Girl Relationships last year. Dr. Mendenhall was asked to return again this year and renew her discussion of this lively topic. A group of eighteen girls under the guidance of Miss Richmond and Miss Shaw spent a week-end at a winter houseparty during the February vacation. Outdoor sports, such as skating and skiing, furnished an opportunity to enjoy the country weather. As a fitting climax to a successful yeai, a mother-daughter tea was held in May. The members reviewed the club’s aims and purposes to find their signifi- c ance in service, loyalty, and friendship. 122 } BASKETBALL When the snow lay deep and the icy winds howled, the dim, but hallowed confines of our alma mata echoed, not with the names of the forgotten grid heroes or the whispered accounts of what had passed in the detention room, but the booming thud of a basketball on the hardwood court. Every afternoon the hoopsters worked hard under the tutelege of the master himself, “Uncle Mel,” and the result of their labor was one of the best quintets ever to carry the red and blue spangles into the fray, and to victory. Led by co-captains, Billy, “the butcher” Mannix and Eddie Marsh, this outfit was one of the finest since the immortal team of 1935 that won 18 straight games. They walked over their opponents and chalked up tallies in the win column that closely resembled telephone numbers. With Hank Durham and Buddy Imler on the defensive points and the co-captains teaming with Parker Carleton and Guy Jackson on the forward wall, the Belmont defense was prac- tically impregnable. Aided by such stellar reserves as Rogers, Dyer. Jack Stuart, Frank Prescott, and the seasoned veteran Tom O’Neil, it is easy to understand the team’s success, for “Uncle Mel,” could at any time send in a reserve aggrega- tion equally as strong as the varsity. i 24 } HOCKEY TEAM Belmont High’s Hockey Team had a discouraging record this year in the G. B. I. League. Belmont has won one game and lost ten and there are only four games left to play. There is a good reason for this poor showing and here is the explanation: Johnny Thurston, right wing, broke his wrist in the third game with Stoneham; Alex MacLean lost four teeth in the Melrose fray; Jim Devlin, right wing, broke his collarbone in the Medford encounter; and Paul White, speedy left winger, received a cut that took seven stitches to patch up in the Cambridge Latin skirmish. Polly Harris’s team this year had only four veterans back from last year; Alex MacLean, “Doc” Cunningham, Vernon Harding, and Chris Ray. Little “Billy” Dewire, sophomore goalie, only 92 pounds did a great job this year in the goal, also “Tubber” McBride. Brucie Mather, a little shaver is showing great improvement and ought to be very good next year. Phil Stedfast is improving fast and has the makings of a good defenseman. Jim Devlin, Johnny Thurston, and Jimmy Shute, junior wings, and Johnny Mahler, also a junior, show great promise and will probably lead the team to a more successful showing next year. •{ 25 } GIRLS ' BASKETBALL With a capable squad of girls from whom a well-balance varsity was selected, the basketball team opened its season by defeating Watertown 32-19 in an exhi- bition game at Sargent College. Although the girls have already played Medford, Malden, Winchester, and Lexington, a class game, the girls hope to finish their schedule victoriously. This year the team elected Rosemary O’Connell, Captain and Christine Curtis, Manager. Those who will probably receive letters for the first or second teams are: Betty Apollonio, Jane Drisko, Elsie March, Rosemary O’Connell, Doris Walz, Anne Pettingell, Christine Curtis, Carol O’Connor, LIrsula Walz, Theresa Smith. Sheila Hoskins, Grace Papazian, Cecilia Pelletier, and Mary Connolly. The success of the team depends in a great amount on the excellent coaching of Dorothy Cash. Her inspiration has been an incentive to the girls. 126 ]■ WRESTLING This year began its second season in the grunt-and-groan game under a new coach, Mr. Storer, who has shown great ability in teaching the boys. Since the sport is still fairly new, the team was still quite inexperienced. T his year Belmont entered the Old Colony League. They also attended the State Meet in March. Outstanding on the squad was “Rock” Giblin, undefeated 155-pound champ who has hopes of winning the State crown this year. “Tony” Boschetti struck tear into the hearts of his opponents, and little Guy Arno shows great promise foi his next two years. The weight classes were Guy Arno, 100 pounds; Harry Willard, no; Tommy Williams, 118; Armando Boschetti, 123; Gilbeit Krulee, 128; Richard Belliveau, 135; Robert Curtin, 145; Edward Giblin, 155; Tony Boschetti, 165; and Gene Boisoneau, 175. With six of these men re turning, Bel- mont has great hopes for next year. d 27 } THE OPERETTA The students of the Belmont High School each year present an operetta, the proceeds of which go toward the Comery Scholarship Fund which was founded several years ago in memory of our former principal, Sanford B. Comery. This year the high school under the able direction of Mr. Warren Freeman and M iss Ruth Holbrook presented the well-known Gilbert and Sullivan operetta, “The Pirates of Penzance.” The following students played important roles: Harvey Pigg, Warren Mills, Richard Daniels, Joseph Murphy, Ruth Stevens, Betty Weichel and Patricia James. The operetta was presented on Thursday and Friday, January 16 and 17, 194 1 in the high school auditorium, the music being supplied by the high school orchestra. {2S NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY The Belmont Chapter of the National Honor Society has this year been under the guidance of Mr. Hanrahan. Under his able direction, a committee of members collaborated on writing a uniform description of the marking standards. In 1940, the following members of the organization were accepted: Gilbert Krulee, President; Ann Pettingell, Vice President; Rosemary O’Connell, Secretary ; Carol O’Connor, Treasurer ; Margaret Black, J ane Blood, Jean Cleveland, Richard Davis, Connie Hamblen, Maiguerite Juechter, Betty Learned, Meroe Morse, Warren Mills, Josephine Pizzi, Nancy Rich, Doris Walz, Ursula Walz, and Martha Walker. The members accepted this year were initiated in an impressive ceremony in May, 1941. The honors of the National Honor Society are awarded on the basis of Scholarship, Leadership, Character, and Service. {29 BELMONT Hl-y CLUB The idea for the Belmont Hi-Y was born during the first weekend of Decem- ber in 1939. The inspiration for the club was instilled by the Fiftieth Annual Older Boys’ Conference in Worcester. The Belmont delegation to the conference returned to Belmont with the basic plans for the Hi-Y. Nothing happened until early this September when a committee discussed with Mr. Shipman the possibility of a Hi-Y Club in the high school. Mr. Ship- man approved heartily and securred as directors Mr. Husson and Mr Storer. From then on it was smooth sailing. The first meeting was held in October with five members. Since then the club has made plans to include thirty-five members in it’s roster. The Hi-Y Club is affiliated with the Boston Y. M C. A., and under the sponsorship of Mr. H. C. Hoople, Associate Y Secretary. It’s purpose is “To create, maintain, and extend throughout the school and community, high stand- ards of Christian character.” It’s platform is, “Clean Living — Clean Speech — Clean Athletics — Clean Scholarship.” The officers elected for the 1940-41 school year were: John Anthony, President ; Theodore Hoople, Pice President ; Maxwell Brenton, Secretary; Walter Connell, Treasurer. { 30 } F. T. A. The F. T. A. Club has enjoyed a most successful year under the leadership of its officers, Barbara Teland, President; Margaret Wilson, Vice President; Nancy Morrissey, Secretary-Treasurer. The constitution of the club was drawn up by Margaret Sturgis and Evelyn Smart. Although this is only the first year of the organization, it has joined the National Education Association which sponsors clubs such as these throughout the United States. The club has enjoyed many interesting and entertaining meetings at which Mr. Spalding and Mr. Shipman have been the principal speakers. The members have been allowed to visit many of the schools in Belmont. The club appreciates the assistance rendered by Miss Dorntee and Miss Davis and wish that future members may have great success in the years to come in keeping the F. T. A. a growing organization. •f 31 } GOLF TEAM The prospects for an undefeated golf team this year are very good; we are lucky to have with us this year “Jim” Sullivan, Caddy Champ, and “Clayt” Clancy, Junior Junior Champ. Jim scored an unbeatable 71-74-145 to set a new caddy record at the Furnace Brook Country Club. “Clayt” scored a win over Bob Johnson 4 and 3 at the Wollaston Country Club to cop the Junior Junior Trophy. Belmont, with these two outstanding lads ought to be right up in front in the standings. Jimmy Devlin, injured hockey player also shows great promise. Harry Oterri, a Belmont Spring bag-toter, who also took place in the Caddy Championship hits a long straight ball. “Dorn” Rizzo and Mike Car- micheal, Belmont Spring boys, also play fine golf. Dick Robinson and Chris Ray, Arlmont Country Club boys, are coming along pretty well. With Coach O’Connor showing the boys a few pointers, they ought to round up into a winning club. BASEBALL In detense of their cherished state championship, the ball club of the ’41 season fought with tooth and nail for every point they tallied in the win column. Although they tailed to retain possession of their honors, the nine was one of the best in years. Paced by returning veterans Tommy O’Neil, Johnny Tootney, and Hank Durham, the outfit won the better part of their contests. Other lads who proved their worth on the playing field, were Chuck Clark, Doc Cunningham, Dependable Russ Swaine, who was handicapped last year by a sore arm, Bob Grant, Jimmy Shute, and Louis DiGivani. The red and blue willow-wielders sorely felt the loss of last year’s inter- scholastic twirlers, Tom Hazlett and Reid Buckley, but O’Neil. Swaine, and Bill Ryan carried on nobly and filled the opposition’s box-scores with more goose-eggs than the nest of the proverbial goose that laid the golden eggs. Also missed were such standouts as Johnny Gutherie, “Putto” Murphy, Kd Egan, “Red” Brown, Dave Gardener, and Charlie Cashin. These never-to-be-forgotten heroes carried the fair name of our “alma mammy” to heights never attained before by a Bel- mont team, and the ’41 unit did their bit to keep it on the top of the heap where it belongs. Much credit is due Coach l.ew, “call-me-Polly,” Harris for his super strategy and developing of material. His ability has been proved n the two seasons when he sent his team to the Massachusetts state championships. When they were not given an outside chance on winning, “L Tele Polly” showed them the way and they did the rest, and when they showed so well in the last year, it was largely due to him. He taught the boys something, more important than any of the plays used on the diamond, and that was character. Well, “Lncle Polly,” you won’t be forgotten in years to come, for one could not easily forget the spirit with which you coached these potential big-leaguers on to victory. { 36 f TRACK Once again “Uncle Mel’s” merry milers and speeding sprinters waltzed off with their share of wins, as is usually the case with all Belmont track teams. Paced by veterans Parker Carleton, “Buddy” Imler, and Tom Greehan the cin- dermen shoved as many trophies as could possibly fit into the cabinets for this purpose. These were the only returning senior standouts, but the balance of the squad upheld their alma mammy’s honor and pulled the team through. As you realize there must be unsung heroes on every team, lads who were not starlets but did their bit to keep the red and blue on blue on the beam. These were Bob Caskie, Guy Jackson, Wally Brown, and Harley Morrill. “Terrible” Tony Boschetti chucked a mighty chunk of iron as he consistently out-tossed all opponents in the shot put. Ted, the kid, Carleton, zipped off the shorter distances in time that sounded like your old man’s hat size, and diminutive Buddy Imler fared exceedingly well in the broad jump, for he out-jumped everybody in this event, including the bovine that hopped over the moon, to win many a close decision. But the brains behind the outfit, as there must be a strategian to direct all teams, was Coach Mel Wenner. A more able maestro was never behind the wheel to coach a Belmont team. It takes a keen mind to uncover and develop a track team but “Uncle Mel” is just about tops in Greater Boson high school cinder circuits when it comes to this department. 138 OUTING CLUB Officers: President — Muriel Woodruff Vice President — Anita Stengel Secretary — Lolita Laveaga Treasurer- Josephine Lentine Sponsors: Miss Ames Miss Thompson Activities of the year, 1940-1941 September Hike and supper, Prospect Hill, Waltham October Hike, Fresh Pond November Sightseeing and outdoor luncheon, Plymouth December Christmas Party February Hike, Belmont Hill April Roller Skating Party May Hike, Arnold Arboretum June Beach Party 139 } TENNIS Led by “Pop” Nagle, the tennis team expects to have another fine season this year. In 1940, the league standing could have been higher, but Belmont had the honor of having its captain, “Chick” I ifner win the state championship tournament. In ’41 the team will be made up mostly of such returning letter- men as Tommy Tolar, Rogers Dyer, “Bang-Bang” Cannon, Ronny Scott. Warren Mills, Gil Krulee, Jack Richardson, Peter Grimes and Holland Cotter. Since it is too early to make predictions, we can only wait and hope for a Belmont victory. f GIRLS’ TENNIS Due to unforeseen circumstances and the snow, we are unable to say just how successful the tennis team will be. Howevei , with most of last year’s team still present and under the competent direction of Miss Cash, prospects are hope- ful. The following girls received letters last year who are still with us: the unas_ suming, Janet Hyde, the “whiz of doubles,” Elsie March, a “winning girl,’’ “Dottie” King, a “steady player,” “Jerry” Amodeo, and “Critty” Curtis. For the past two years these senior girls have enjoyed extremely mectorious seasons having lost only two games. Recently, Elsie March was chosen as man- ager of the team, but a captain won’t be selected until a later date. Although a definite schedule has not been completed as yet, we expect to play the following schools: Malden, Winthrop, Concord, Watertown, Lexington, and Arlington. •141 SOPHOMORES President — Daniel Prelack Vice President — Jack Adams Secretary — Naomi Corey Treasurer — Bruce Mather Class Advisor — Mr. W enner A new Sophomore Class entered the High School this year. At their first class meeting they elected officers. With the help of a few Sophomores, two or three successful plays have been put on this year. I wonder what the Juniors and Seniors would do with out us — even though they speak of us as “the little Sophomores.” In the athletic field, the newly formed Badminton Club has been heartily supported by the Sophomores. The greatly appreciated gym which was so looked forward to last year, is surely wonderful 1 The end of the year is last approaching. Soon the students will have the long-waited-for title of Juniors. Rah! rah! rah ' for the Juniors of next year! - II LJT r A W L JB | y y F m m r r i j J 1 -yrjM H r r j £ r - - i FT r 1 Girl Nancy Ahlquist Dot Whiting Jean Silk Pat Corr Louise Lynch Best-looking Most Popular Most likely to Succeed Most Athletic Most Versatile Boy Chuck Levis Dan Prelack Don I .earned Eddie Holden Bruce Mather JUNIORS President — James Shute Pice President — Guy Jackson Secretary — Ruth Daniels Treasurer — John Clifford This school year has been more than an average one for the Class of 1942. It has proved to be an eventful and beneficial year, not only for the class, but for the entire school. The first Junior class meeting saw the birth of a new system, a system soon adopted by the Seniors and Sophomore Class, whereby, Class officers were elected by nomination petitions and primaries. At their second meeting, Mr. Newell was introduced as the new class advisor, and his plans for the future were greeted with enthusiasm. Also the Junior class was very well represented at the meeting of the Year- book and Junior-Senior Prom committees. We feel, and justly so, that with such a promising start, the class of 1942 will be a credit to Belmont High in all of its undertakings.

Wilder, Calvin “Cal” Bowdoin College ISO } SENIOR PLAY The Senior Class this year chose as its Senior Play, “Jonesy,” a comedy by Anne Morris and John Peter Tookey. A packed house was piesent to behold the efforts of the talented seniors in the play; as was shown by the frequent laughter and applause, their enthusiasm was well rewarded. The cast, which worked hard to make the play a success, included the follow- ing: Barbara Bishop, Mary Carraher, Barbara Gogen, Fdith Hatch. Nancy Rick, Richard Chisholm, Charles Clark. James Griffin, Richard Hackenburger, Fred Leonard, Bill Mannix, Bill Miller, and Frank Prescott. Helen Redmond, Richard Davis, and Spencer Greenwood conscientiously did their parts as understudies, and Margaret Black and Marjorie Harwood acted as prompters. Carl Larson and James Kendall assisted Jordan Donovan and George Clifford with the stage work. More pleasure was added to the performance by the music which the high school orchestra played between the acts of the play. In spite of the fact that the Senior Play was held on Friday, the thirteenth, and that there were thirteen members in the case, it was a great success. The Senior Play Committee was composed of the following: George Clifford, Con- stance Hamblen, Marguerite Juechter, Betty Learned, Alex MacLean, and Josephine Pizzi. I 82 I THE CLASS PROPHECY TRAVELOGUE It was midnight in New York, in the year 1955. We were making our way slowly through heavy traffic to the Cunard Pier where the largest ocean liner in the world was waiting to take us on a trip around the world. The ship was the last word in size, luxury and speed. It was designed by George Clifford, a mem- ber of the Class of ’41 at Belmont High School, and an alumnus of M. I. T. George had planned the first trip for his honeymoon — the sailing was delayed and George was in a state of nervous exhaustion. His bride, the former Frances Inglethron, had not changed a bit and was late, even for her own honeymoon. With bells ringing and horns blowing the ship finally got started on her way to foieign lands. The journey across was pleasant but uneventful. Allan Davis spent all the time in his stateroom completing his last volume of the Davis Encyclopedia. When we landed at Liverpool, our first stop, we were amazed at the way the town was built up after the successful winning of the war by Great Britain, with the help of the L’nited States. We stopped for a few days and took a motor ride to Wimbledon. The cham- pionship tennis matches had just been completed, and an American girl, (also a member of the spectacular Class of ’41) Miss Christine Curtis, had won the world championship. On to Bordeaux, France. A motor trip brought us to Paris, where the ladies’ minds were full of styles. On one establishment we met another member of the Class of ’41, Miss Barbara Sullivan, who is studying the Parisian styles so that she can write an article for her own magazine, Harpers Bazaar. We also met Jeanne Owens and Patricia Stickel, who were both most successful models of French clothes. The next day we flew to Berlin, which was struggling back to a normal condition. That night we attended an opera, mostly to hear the great singers Patricia James and Dorothy Parker. When we stepped on the plane the next morning for Paris, we were met by the expert pilot of the air lines “Pete” Wight, who was wearing a beautiful white sweater with the embroidery “Belmont ’41.” Well, back to Paris and then on to Switzerland where we found Jack Richard- son, now a famous skier. Jack was looking most healthy after being out in the fresh air. W e flew back to Bordeaux and sailed down along the coast to Spain. Well, well, WELL! ! Hello — Here’s Bill Miller, a very wealthy man. One of Spain’s famous vineyard owners, and let me tell you, the wine was delicious. Just a short stop at Africa informed us that Carol Harrington was learning a rendition of “An African War Dance” from the natives while her husband, Bill Mannix, was engaged in replenishing the meat supply of the Mannix Market. Now back to the ship and down the Mediteranean Sea to Italy. One evening, while reading or at least attempting to read an Italian newspaper, I was able to recognize the names of Agnes Bellantoni, Antonia Boschetti, Andrew and Paul Centauro. My, but that Class of ’41 was really worthwhile. After dinner, on to the art galleries, and there I found on one of the most famous paintings the name Edmond Reardon, and what a lovely painting it was. 183 } I heard from a conversation with a friend that Martha Walkei is in Rome still searching for Nero’s fiddle. Good luck, Martha! No more time for Italy. We boarded a plane and spent a day in Greece. There as the star reporter of the New York Trikune we saw Joe West, with his ace photographer, Sherman Grimes. l ime flew and so did we. Back to the boat and the next stop was at Turkey in Asia. There we had an opportunity to see some U. S. newspapers. In the movie news, there was a picture of that handsome Bud Imler, the idol of hundreds. Turning the page, there was a cartoon by Joe Shaughnessy which I must say was most clever. After a delight- ful trip through Turkey, we boarded the boat again and sailed through the Suez Canal. On the Red Sea we stopped at some ports of Egypt. One party we met consisted of some professors and teachers on their sabbatical year from the various famous colleges of Boston. We enjoyed lovely visits with Dorothy l ove- land, of Wellesley College; Barbara I. eland from Radcliffe; V irginia Mann, Esther, Malsolm, Arline Ricci, and Jane Blood. Next we sailed across the Arabian Sea and stopped in India for a few days. In one group of wild animal hunters I could have sworn that “Chuck” Clark was among those present, but was promptly informed that “Chuck” while on vaca- tion in Arizona had become interested in farm life and was now a champion hog caller. That seemed to be all the news from India. Now we settled down on the ship for a long sail to China. Most of our time was spent listening to the radio and dancing. Our favorite programs were the news items over the United States nei works. The announcer, Ered Leonard, kept us interested. Some of the items gave us the up to date news and featured to a large extent the members of the Class of ’41 at B. H. S. Senator Krulee was mentioned frequently because of his efforts to get bigger and better lunches for the Belmont High School students. One announcement informed us that Henry Durham had made four home runs in one game and is the leading batter in the American League. Another sports item was to the effect that Parker Carleton finished 30th in the annual B. A. A. marathon. Parker claims he would have won the race if he hadn’t started on the wrong foot. Ered also announced that “Tony” Boschetti has supplanted the “Angel” in the field of wrestling. It was announced, too, that Russell Swaine, owner of the Boston Braves, is still trying to pull his team out of the hole. Many of the talks on the radio were also interesting to us. Alex MacLean of the Chicago Daily News gave a talk on how to become a successful cartoonist. On another program, the President of the Boston Chamber of Commerce, Warren Mills, gave a business talk to the High School boys on how to get enough money to take the girls to Johnson’s after the Senior Prom. One night we heard an entrancing musical concert by Donald Lockhart’s orchestra. The featured songs were written by Jean Cleveland. Another night, we enjoyed the beautiful exhibition dancing performed by Peter Grimes and Eva Applebaum. We steered our way through Chinese junks into Canton Harbor. We were 184 I greeted at the w harf by Robert Horn, who was running a rice plantation. He gave us some of his famous chop suey. The next morning we took a plane into the interior of China. We visited some of the schools and met some of the leading missionaries. Among the group were Walter Irving, who had lost all interest in girls; William White, who was teaching the kids how to play Chinese Checkers; and Edwin Burnock. While flying back, we had as our hostess the charming Virginia Moore. The world trip practically completed, we started for the good old United States of America. Among other news items broadcast by radio we learned that Barbara Gogan is private secretary to a prominent sports’ announcer; also, that Betty Learned is now President of Kansas State University. That is not all— Betty attained nation-wide recognition for her splendid book “Life Among the Buffaloes.” Well, it seemed no time at all before we found ourselves in California. It seemed good to be again in the United States. Here we find in the movies Nancy Day, Helen Redmond, and Evelyn Turner. At the dock, we met Frank Prescott, who is still peddling papers. Rather eager to arrive back at New York we wasted no time and naturally took the quickest way — airplane. Only a matter of over night and there we were on Broadway. It seems that there is also some news around here and Boston. Namely — Anne Pettingill, professor at Wellesley, has at last won the annual hoop rolling contest. Barbara Dernier was lecently listed among the ten best-dressed women in America. Donald Lukens has at last achieved his life’s ambition of being a member of the Quiz kids. Carol O’Connor is a dental hygienist because she likes to experi- ment with laughing gas. Nancy Rich is still head dietician at Smith College, in spite of many offers to go elsewhere. Nancy says “My heart belongs to Smith.” Janet Hyde recently won a contest sponsored by a breakfast food company for her essay entitled “I Found Pep.” Thomas O’Neil, I understand, is chief usher at the Strand Theater. His suc- cess is due to his outstanding ability to get around in the dark. Audrey Young has grown a quarter of an inch and has been promoted from the Children’s Department where she modeled baby clothes to the School Girls’ Department of Jordan Marsh Company. Justin Walsh betrayed his fellow-townsmen by accepting the post of football coach at Watertown High. Richard Gorman, recent unsuccessful candidate for President of the LT. S. A. is now running for office of dog-catcher in Belmont. So ends our enlightening trip of the world. I know that without doubt every single person in that unforgettable, marvelous Class of 1941 has attained the highest success. 185 1 SENIOR CLASS SUPERLATIVES Best Student Best Looking Best Natured Best Dressed Best Dancer Best School Actor, Actress Most Athletic Most Drowsy Most Sarcastic Most Versatile Most Quiet Most Dependable Did Most for B.H .
