With money obtained from the selling of candy at football games and a collection, money belts have been purchased for members of the school who have entered the armed forces. The council also bought a service flag. With the entrance of each boy into the service, a star to represent him was placed on this flag. Again this year the Student Council sponsored several interesting assembly programs. One of the most interesting of these was the program presented by the F. B. I. The officers for the year 1942-1943 were: President, Daniel Prelack; Vice-President, Phyllis Burns; Secretary, Leone Halliday; and Treasurer, Warren Wettlaufer. 3 0 [47 1 JiUlLOX dxoih Fouhy ; Secretary 1 ' lam and ; t the outset of the school year, the following officers were elected in the Junior Red Cross: President, Rob Vice-President, Virginia Graham; Joan Sibley; Treasurer, Dick and the advisers Miss Richmond and Miss Woodruff.

The twenty-five children greatly appreciated and enjoyed the Christmas party given by the organization for their benefit. Practically everyone in the High School was seen in the corridors with one of the novelty pencils sold by the club during the March campaign. Thus the students can join the club members in saying “We Serve.” I 48 1 onox ( 1 nder the direction of Mr. Meyers, the National Honor Society has completed another successful season. The officers for the year were: President, Joan Willander; ice-President, Don Learned; Secretary, Lois Fish; and Treasurer, Betsy Houser. Other members of the society were: Jean Silk, Evelyn Smart, Ruth Berry, Peggy Sturgis, Joan Sullivan, Shirley La Fortune, Marion Schinkel, Mariana McLaughlin, David Walker, Isabel Kelleher, Terese Hughes, Jean MacCaulev, and Katherine T urner. During the year Don Learned, David alker, Lois Fish and Mariana McLaug h- lin, left for other schools or the armed forces. In addition to setting the standard for scholar- ship, service, character, and leadership, the a c sociation helped pupils who had suffered long absences cover the material thev had missed. [ 49 ] rr«o ' n [ l xamatia (JlilIj ( 7 he Dramatic Club u of Mr. MacCloskey, is under the direction one of the largest and most active clubs in the school. This year a new form of initiation has been intro- duced; each member desiring admission is re- quired to perform before the club. Many of the programs presented by guest speakers have been open to all students. The new pins worn by the members have attracted a great deal of favorable attention in the school. Interest in dramatic art has been aroused among the mem- bers by attendance of public performances. Under the able leadership of Robert Tevalof. President: Peggy Sturgis, Vice-President ; and Connie Del Duke. Secretary-Treasurer, the club has progressed considerably during the past year. I 50] ( he Belmontian Club has always stood for good character and commendable scholarship; to be a member signifies leadership and good citizenship. Throughout the year Belmontians have lived up to the stand- ards. By the purchase of a one hundred dollar War Bond, a contribution to the Red Cross, and sponsorship of a serviceman ' s dance — we have tried to do our share. Under the capable leadership of this year ' s officers: Louise Lynch, Dorothy Whiting, Isa- belle Kelleher. and Nancy Ahlquist the club has had another pleasant and profitable season. Among other interesting programs, the club was entertained by Mrs. Anton de Haas who spoke on Army nurses and Mrs. Baker whose subject was “Personality and the Girl.” ( furtherance of an appreciation and clearer understanding of Roman culture and literature is the purpose of the club. The officers and many of the procedures of the organization correspond to those of the ancient Roman government. For entertainment, the club had many interesting speakers and a few programs presented by the members themselves. The Latin Club has certainly lived up to its name. “Summa (meaning the highest), during the past year due to the cooperation of its members and the commendable work of its advisers.

With a membership of over 140. the club had an active year. The chief events included a lecture in French on the Free French Movement, a joint meeting with the Latin Club, an interview with a French officer, and an illustrated lecture. The club provided opportunities not only for en- tertainment but also for a better understanding of France, its people, and its tongue. The officers for the past year were: President, Dorothy Elkind ; Vice-President, Joan Willan- der; Secretary, Lolita Laveaga; and Treasurer, Robert Kennerly. The success of “Le Cercle Francais is due chiefly to the leadership of Miss Bridey, its faculty adviser. 53 dJliz IBand ( mmmm 7 he Senior High School Musical Service organization pears at many school and functions throughout the year.

Since that time it has grown so that now it is one of the major clubs of the school. During the month of March the club spon- sored a poster contest. The winner of the first prize was Marion Thomas; second prize, Robert Ahearn : honorable mention, Claire Verdone, Jean Harding, Jean McNaughton, Mary Dia- mond and Robert Hopkins; the most original poster, Rocco Bruno. Fifteen of the members of the club have joined the armed forces since September. The members who have read the greatest num- ber of books for the year are Frances Patnode and Richard Palm. The club’s officers were: Betty Stone, Joseph Curley, Barbara Walsh, and William Flynn.

The activities of the club were guided and supervised by Miss Dorntee and Air. Solano, the faculty advisers. This year the club celebrated Pan-American Day by holding the initiation of new members. At a later meeting, an educational movie on South America was enjoyed by the members. Besides the regular program of events, Span- ish games and songs have increased the interest in the language itself, and the members all hope that the future “Conquistadores” will have years as enjoyable as theirs. “Seguir Adelante.’’ [ 57 ] Ck IOLZ ( mmm T he third seasox of the A Cappella Choir was successful under the direction of Miss Ida Marie Bunting, who replaced Mr. Freeman in this activity when he joined the Xavv. The choir appeared at the service held at the High School in honor of Belmont men in the service who have been reported missing or dead and in the Memorial Day program. As in past years, a small group from the choir visited all the schools at Christmas-time presenting a pro- gram of Carols. The second Christmas Concert was given bv the choir shortly before C hristmas and was pronounced a success. I he choir en- joved its work and hopes that it may become larger and he able to do more when peace returns. 58 Ok (L amzTia 2U — y i [ ]•: Camera Club, advised this year by our new teacher, Mr. French, had a very successful year. The aim of the members of the club was to achieve perfection in the devel- oping ' a nd enlarging of the pictures which they took. The students spent many enjoyable extra- curricular hours of activity working in the dark- room, which they themselves helped to equip, and afterward discussing with fellow members the results of their work. The interest of others in the club lay primarily in getting new and original “shots,” and it is to these faithful pupils that we owe most of the candid pictures in our yearbook. However, no matter what the interest of the individual member, everyone worked together in every club enterprise, making a well organized and interesting club. 1 59 1 V a-tw e_ ' y arr ' PTi [60] SHEA [ 61 ] JootuaLL cA Coach Lucien Lisbeth Managers Blair Harding John Hill lt iiougii the Red and Blue gridsters had only an season, bright spots punctuated the schedule.

We lost only to Watertown, a close game, and to Med- ford, local champions for years. Much credit is due to Jean Macaulay, Stella Femino, Peggy Carroll and Kay Comeau, who so successfully employed the new zone-guarding svstem instituted by Coach Cleary last year. And these are the forwards who contributed to this year ' s victories — Eileen Foley (highest scorer), Marion Macaulay, Nancy Casey, Jane Drisko and Nancy Lane. The girls on this year ' s junior varsity show great promise, so we expect just as excellent a record next season. Receiving j. v. letters are Eleanor Greehan, Alice Porter, Marion Marsh. Mary Jane Cumerford, Betty O’Brien, Mary Flanagan, Leah Garfin and Florence Azzone. [ 65 ] Coach Aleerta Cleary Manager Catherine Comeau Ds Earn Coach Lewis Harris Managers Don Cash in- Charlie Powers ' The hockey team had undoubtedly the most successful season in a decade as proved by its stellar play, and the numer- ical statistics of the fast G. P . I. League. The sextet got off to a slow start due to its lack of confidence and experience but wound up the season in a blaze of glory by winning four of its last five league games. Only the loss of one game kept the Harrismen from a first place berth and a playoff position. Also the team p ' ayed two victorious non-league games this year; one with Belmont Hill School, and one with Browne and Nichols. Belmont had the honor of placing four men — Dewire. Mclnnis, W hite, and Mather — on the all-star team. Others on the squad were: Fleming, Kelly, Levis, Brown. Harding. Winter, Esslinger, Toomey. McCoubrey, Dawson, Shedd, Ellis, and iggin. I 66] aptain Jean Macaulay led our field hockey l ' temu through a successful season, including victories over such formidable rivals as Winchester, Lexington and Concord. Joanna Green held down the difficult center position on our fast forward line. She was ably supported by speedy Eleanor Greehan ; Jean Macaulay and Stella Femino, two wings who will be hard to replace; and Alice Ryan and Pauline Glazier. These girls were backed up by a strong de- fense consisting of goalie Marion Macaulay, who held off all opposition; a great pair of fullbacks, Peggy Carroll and Kay Comeau; Alice Porter, invaluable at center half; and Alary Crowell and Lura Williams, our two sophomore stars. We can expect an equally successful season next year, for we still have many of our better players. Joanna Greene will be captain, and Eleanor Greehan, manager, for the season. Coach Alberta Cleary Captain Jean Macaulay Manager Alice Ryan [67 Uxaatz Ut zanz Coach Meldon Wen nek Captain Jack Mead Manager William Abely ed by Captain Jack Mead the 1943 track team was really going places when this yearbook went to press. Coach Mel Wen- ner seemed dubious as to whether or not this year’s speedsters would come through in the traditional Belmont style, and he was really pleased at the amazing showing our bovs made at Concord, the first meet. Returning men were Captain Jack Mead, Jack Adams, Will Tufts, Will Wheeler. “Rock” Gib- lin, Armando Boschetti, Dave Lyons, Ray Price find Newell Austin and Frank Kronenberg who left 11s for college and the army respectively. Other members of the squad included Ken McLeod, William Apt, Donald Maynard, Robert Brooks, Paul Rugg, Richard kleber and William Abely as manager. 1 68 1 ISaizlcaLL ZJzam espite the war the baseball team has J ) gotten off to a great season. The team lost Dan Bulmer, John MacBride and Bill Martin to college and the war. Most of the veterans returned from last year. They include Mike Palm, Bill Dewire, Richard Roche, Joe Smith, Paul White, Richard Luetters, Steve Colonotto, and Warren Bazirgan. The team to date has won all its games and Polly Harris has hopes that we will again walk off with the State Championship. Other boys who are working hard are: Joe Elliott, Bill Toomey, Kenny Egan, William Brown and Paul Corcoran. There are also some promising young Sophomores: Joe King, Chester Harrington, and John Fleming. Coach Harris has seldom failed to put out a great team. Coach Lewis Harris [69 1 Coach David O’Connor Captain Clayton Clancy C7, zam i he High School Golf Team, captained J by Clayton Clancy, will try to repeat last year’s performance by winning the State Championship again. Although many players have been lost to the armed forces, and Mr. O’Connor, the coach, has left, the team shows good promise. Clayton Clancy semi-finalled in the National School-Boy Championship last year, and will again he number one man while his part- ner will he capable Billy Flynn. Fancis Lom- bardo. Jack Wilson. Warren Ellis, and Daniel Shaughnessy comprise the rest of the team. All the boys have had enough experience in tourna- ment golf and they should have another success- ful vear. [ 70 ] (Izoii- (loiintxu 22Jzam urinc the past two years, the Cross- Country squad has been extremely limit- ed. Two years ago, it consisted of six men. blit this year the squad increased by 33 per cent to eight men. Although literally over- whelmed by a mob of opposing contestants, our runners gave an excellent account of themselves at both the Arlington and Brookline meets. Captain Xewell Austin led the Belmont run- ners in both meets, and was always on the heels of the winner. The rest of the boys on the squad included Capt. -elect John DeSalvo, Paul Morse, George Blood, George Severance, Malcolm Rug- vie, Alton Carr and John Hopkins. AA ith a larger squad and the same enthusiasm shown by the runners last fall, Belmont could easily have successful Cross-Country teams.

S. were transformed into the paths of Dogpatch, Kentucky. None of us will ever forget that memorable day. Who could forget our prize-winners — Roger Merrill peeping coyly out from under his gorgeous plumed hat? Nancy Light prancing around in bright yellow, high-buttoned shoes? Marryin’ Joe Campbell beaming down on “Daisy” Howe and “Lil” Dave? — for that matter who could forget the cider jugs or even Salomey, the pig? Photographers from various Boston newspapers attended the dance and took pictures of the prize-winners. All in all, the day was a great success and a credit to the class of ’43. one might think, for “One Mad N ight” is merely the title of the play presented by this year’s senior class. It was a comedy in three acts and was heartily enjoyed by the crowd who turned out for it. The title was extremely appropriate for the plot leads the hero out to his country-home where, to his astonishment, he discovers that an insane asylum is housed under his roof. From then on anything can and does happen. Odd characters drift in and out, and laugh follows close upon the heels of laugh as the fast moving farce draws to its conclusion where everything is nicely settled. The cast which did such a grand job, included Jeanne Damon, Dick Stockwell, Rocco Bruno, Nancy Davis, Joe Ducey, Greg Shorev, Connie del Duke, Bob Tevalof, Charles Jennings, Ruth Berry, Mary Atwood, Nancy McCann, Pat Ducey, and Roger Merrill. 0 n Friday, November 20, Belmont citizens met in the High School auditorium for One Mad Night. This is not, however, quite as bad as [ 76 ] [78 | [ 79 ] |S ' | gA i if t Ml [ � HP. « rOAV ■ u� Q 1 D he Senior Class Banquet was held on Janu- uary 27th, earlier this year because many of the bovs were about to enter the service. The tur- key dinner was delicious and the music of Marvin Burgess superb. After dinner, Mr. Shipman and Mr. Shibles addressed the class. They both expressed their belief and faith in the boys and girls as leaders and shapers of the future. The highlight of the evening was, of course, the entertainment. Janet del Castillo as chairman of the banquet, assisted by Jack Adams, Dick Luetters, Dave Lyons, Greg Shorey, Joe Campbell, Bob Seaver, Dot Whiting, Marie Denish, and Nancy McCann won the enthusiastic applause of the entire class. The show was in the form of a radio broadcast, the various skits being very clever. Dick Luet- ters, Dot Whiting, and Robert Seaver did a take-off on the “soap box opera,” and Nancy McCann gave a fascinating recipe. For one program, the audience was transported to Germany, via the imagina- tion, where Joe “der Fuerher Campbell gave a stirring oration. Probably the part most enjoyed by all was the trip to the “Nose Bowl ” and the five charming specimens of feminine beauty. In the reveal- ing garb of cheerleaders, “Queenie” Prelack, “Legs” Giblin, “Gypsy Rose Brown, the exotic “Josephine” Smith, and “Sunva” Bazirgan literally brought down the house with their humorous antics. No one will ever forget their cartwheel cheer. It was out of this world. Dancing concluded an extremely pleasant evening.
