Belmont High School Belmont, Massachusetts 1944 Foreword . . . The 1944 issue of 'The Flue Print is presented with the hope that it will serve as a link in our chain of memories between the past and the future. PRINCIPAL 1939-1944 In Memoriam . .. Wayne Milner Shipman His courage and integrity will ever serve as our inspiration. ll of us who did know Wayne Shipman will remember him as long as we live, and whenever we think of him we will be better for the thought. There arc people who, by paying a great price and by traveling alone the road of pain and suffering become the invisible guardians and inspiration of their loved ones and their friends . . . “ ‘These are they who have come up out of great tribulation as the Scripture says, ‘into the glory of man’s hope.’ They are the victorious ones, and I acclaim Mr. Shipman a victor not for himself alone, but for many others; for his lovely family, his innumerable friends. There came to him suddenly the stricken body, the long and bitter struggle, and then the radiant and unconquerable spirit. That is the victory that overcomes the world. Against such a glory as that, how insignificant are all the triumphs of human vanity . . . ‘‘It has been my privilege to know a great many laymen and a great many churches. 1 could make a list of one hundred who would stand out for strength, loyalty, talent and Christian character. I could reduce the number to fifty, to twentv-five, to ten. 1 would even then put him among the very first whom I would name. T have been privileged also to know a good many schoolmen. Here also I would give him a high place. The greatest educators arc those whose primary equipment is character upon which is built their skill ... “I salute his gentle, brave, triumphant spirit. I thank God for his release from suffering and freedom of his spirit in the measureless reaches of eternal life ’ Excerpts from the eulogy spoken by the Kf.vp.rrnd Everett C. Herrick, president of Andover Newton Theological School, at funeral services on January 26, 1944. [51 Dedication . . . To George Higginbottom, our friend and principal, we the class of 1944 respectfully dedicate this Yearbook, in appreciation of his interest and guidance in our problems and activities throughout the year. he shortage of manpower is a national concern. This past year many of you have willingly and very capably contribut ed much to alleviate this situation. It is obvious that conducting this war to a successful conclusion will necessitate not only accumulating each ounce of raw material that can be located or salvaged but the judicious management of all human resources. Materials cannot be wasted by unqualified individuals awkwardly doing jobs for which they are not fitted. The armed services, production lines, private industry and business as a whole require men and women with ability, imagination, determination, resourcefulness and energy. Slightly more than a decade ago, graduates, as you are now, were shunted in the background, discouraged and made to feel unnecessary, but you today arc the country’s greatest asset. Decisions must be made, and it is essential that they be based on considered judgment with primary emphasis on the contribution that each of you can make to the war effort. Our country has already selected some of you for pilot training, others will be selected as bombardiers, mechanics, and all other specialists needed to win the war. From others we must provide scientists, engineers, inventors, professional services of all types needed in the post-war period. For some of you two plans will be necessary, one for the war years and the other for the post-war period. You, together with other graduates, comprise the nation’s greatest, most precious resource and the talent that will be required during the critical years of war and of the reconstruction that must inevitably follow. “Great deeds are not performed by strength alone, but by perseverance.”—Dr. S.

(Vice-President John Fleming had recently joined the armed forces.) Flections were held for representatives on the Junior-Senior Prom Committee: and those elected were Bob Brooks, Jane Buxton and Terry Nowak. A letter was read from Mr Shipman thanking the class for its Christmas remembrance. Plans announced by the committee for the prom follow: Date, April 28; time, 8:30; place, cafeteria; orchestra, Dick Seeley’s (nine-piece); price of tickets, $2.30. By April 11 th, the class had planned two events in addition to the prom.

Acting talent, too, has been discovered: Irene Pearson, Kay Pauley, and Yin Moore played in the hit, “Junior Miss.” Musicians, as well as writers and actors, have sprung up in our midst. A dance band recently made its debut at the DeMolay banquet. Edith Kieling represents her class in war work as the champion sophomore bandage-roller at Surgical Dressings. Making the first team in Girls’ Hockey, was June Lawrence. Similar honors went to Jeanne Campbell on the Basketball team.

They are still striving “to promote a more perfect high school, to enhance our school spirit and activities, and to arouse the pupil’s interest in his own school problems.” Although servicemen have priorities on the top-notch maestros, the Student Council secured several assemblies with both educational and entertainment value. The Council also sponsored the music in the cafeteria, brought to students “via Vic” during lunch period. Under the leadership of Dot Cheney, Jack Lyons, Jacynth Thompson, Frank MacPherson, and Mr. Higginbottom, the Student Council enjoyed a successful year. The embers have not burned out, nor will they ever as long as our successors keep the spirit of this organization alive.

The purpose of the club is “to create an enthusiasm for scholarship, to stimulate a desire to render service, to promote worthy leadership, and to encourage the development of character in pupils of the Belmont High School.” As the Nation? 1 Honor Society does not sponsor any large school activities, the student body does not fully understand the importance of membership, but those who take an active part in the organization, agree that it is a grand success. The officers for the year were Jack Anderson, Dorothy Coleman, Betty Keegan, Wilbert Greenlaw and Mr. Meyers, club adviser. [ 53 1 ■ Aiirr K'mtiAu. ■ DL 6 ( ‘ This year the Junior Red Cross Club proved a necessary organization, and deserves much credit for its many vital services. The proceeds from the annual drive for funds set a new record for future years, and were donated to various charity groups. The usual custom of distributing Christmas gifts to needy children and making Easter favors for Hospitalized veterans was continued. In addition to these services, the girls formed regular surgical dressing units which turned out a monthly average of about five thousand dressings. Other projects were undertaken throughout the year, making our club both interesting to its members and unusually worthwhile. Under the direction of Miss Richmond, Miss Woodruff, and the officers—Dick Flamand, Phyllis Burns, Joanne Nagle, and Doris Gara-bedian—the Junior Red Cross Club has completed the most successful year in the club's history.

This year the club achieved its every aim under the able leadership of Dorothy Weichel, Edith Kronenberg, Joan Sibley, and Betty Coombs. The monthly programs proved to be unusually interesting to the feminine minds. Speakers from the Boston Seaman's Club and from a leading beauty house. Taking a prominent part in social activities, the girls scored a big hit with the “Spirit Dance” and the traditional Belmontian formal. The club donated generous funds to two worth while organizations and also to the Senior Class gift. With the kindly assistance of the advisers, the Misses Anderson, Blennerhasset, Caklerara, Mathews, and Mrs. Howarth, the Belmontian Club may look forward to many more equally successful years. JAh [55 1 U zamatia dtuu r r Oankixc high among the many suc- 7 cessful clubs this year was the Dramatic Club, under the direction of Mr. MacCloskey. The club was fortunate in having an increased membership, together with an abundance of talent in this interesting art. Having elected competent officers—Jack Anderson, Ruth Coombs, and Vincent Heavey, the first highlight of the season was in the form of a Christmas play, which was received by an amused and satisfied audience. In addition to the regular meetings, the Belmont High Dramatic Club had the honor of jerving as host to the Massachusetts State Drama I'estival.

At one of the regular meetings, Miss Louise Wisecopf, from the Library Department of the New England News, presented an entertaining lecture on new books. Another club event which was of value to the entire student body was the thrift shop sale at Christmas. The proceeds were donated to the Belmont Home Front Committee for remembrances for our boys in service. Throughout the year, many other interesting meetings were held, all contributing to the success of the club. We wish many grand years to those who will carry on.

Many colorful meetings were planned, which had appeal for beginners as well as more advanced French students. At the Christinas party, celebrated with the Latin Club, the members enjoyed games, carols and talks on French customs. Later in the year, a French Navy officer discussed his experiences as a member of the Fighting French Forces. Miss Stevens, club adviser, also showed slides and lectured on France, while at other meetings various speakers were heard. Not only was our knowledge of France increased, but also the opportunities for speaking and hearing French were furthered. We wish to thank our officers—Catherine Comeau, John Picariello, Norma Ricci, and Paul Cox for successfully leading the club. • On ■ [581 i j he Latin Clup., Summa, opened its en- joyable year with the customary instal-lation of officers, according to the ancient and impressive Roman ritual.

The club was also very fortunate in securing several interesting speakers from the Museum of Fine Arts and others well acquainted with Rome. Under the direction of its faculty advisers, Miss Steuerwald and Miss Xorcen, Summa was announced a complete success. The officers for the year were Paul Elliott and Robert Smith, Consules; Audrey Murphy and Eugenia Sullivan, Quaestores Tabularum; Robert Regan, Quaestor Aerarii; Sylvia Jackson and Ruth Coombs, Censores; Jane Masson, Ann Johnson, Joan Appel, and Eunice Cronin, Aediles; Janet Hawkins, Pontifex Maximum; and Thomas Daily, Augur.

In March, the members took part in a series of Spanish games, with a reward of extra refreshments for the winners.

At various times throughout the year, members of the club participated in the WBZ Xcw England Junior Town Meeting of the Air, while still another activity was the entrance of contestants in the Bryant and Stratton History Radio Quiz.

Several students, having a keen interest in music and its benefits, secured the able assistance of Miss Anderson as their adviser. Together, the founders drew up a set of bylaws, and immediately put their plans into action. Although the club had a late start, its success is obvious, and the members were provided with many entertaining programs. A visit to Mrs. Jack Gardner's Palace, an RKO production, and a Symphony concert were among the activities held outside the regular club meetings. Everyone wishes to thank the officers—Barbara Ferguson, Mary Lou Cosgrove, and Mary Westergaard—for leading this fine project so successfully.

German has by popular request been returned to the curriculum of the high school; and with the return of the study of the language, there has come also the request for a revival of the club which was a most energetic organization in the years 1934-1938. At club meetings one can enjoy songs of German student life. There is the chance to carry on the study of and to use the fascinating old German script. One can collect German proverbs, learn stories of German operas, and take verbal trips to various places of interest. Bozo Wow Wow! die frohen Dachshunde— 14’oof!—die Dachshunde—Woof! Bozo Wozo!

Our violinist is Ethel Ginsburgh, and trombone player, Nan Schmidt. All of these girls also play in the orchestra under the direction of Mr. Walter Smith.

Seven thousand spectators and the bright lights of the Boston Garden were all taken in stride by the lads, as was Newburyport in their initial tilt, 28-26. The B. H. S. hoopmen returned to topple Framingham in a thrilling overtime game by a 33-29 count, thus earning the privilege of meeting Braintree in the Class B finale. Phe big night came, and a terrific turnout of local fans squeezed into the Garden, only to see the Battling Belmontians edged out, 40-36, in a close, hard fought game. A beautiful trophy as Class B runner-up was some consolation to the Orchard Street Five. I 68 J ( mmmr 11 e Girls' Basketuall teams completed a very successful season this year; for — the first team dropped only two games, and the seconds were undefeated! The Varsity, under Captain Kay Comeau, lost the opening game, to Winchester, and another to Watertown, but rallied together for the following games to win over Concord, Arlington, Malden, Melrose, Lexington and Medford. The high scoring forwards were Eileen Foley, Eleanor Greehan and Marion Macaulay; the guards, Mary J. Comerford, Kay Comeau, and Betty O'Brien. The excellent second team was made up of forwards Florence A .zone, Jeanne Campbell, Pat Learv, Jane Burke, Marjorie Douglass, and Nan Schmidt; and the guards. Joan Appel, June Lawrence, Gloria Gruhn, Lura Williams, Nancy Birch and loan Hanley. Certainly Miss Clearv and the members of the team deserve a vote of thanks for the cooperation and work that they put in to make this fine record possible. I 69 | Ai.berta Cleary Coach Cat i i eri n e Co m ea u Captain WlI.FREI) PARO Coach Dt Earn i 7 he antiquated ix)cal superstition that Belmont High School ‘’can't’’ have a good hockey team was completely dispelled this year, and the initial steps toward the rehabilitation of B. H. S. Hockey transpired under the leadership of our popular new coach, Wilfred Paro. Despite a mysterious mid-season slump, the Orchard Street Sextet finished up with a won 8, lost 4 record and turned in many stellar performances. One of the highlights of the season was a 5-1 triumph over Watertown, and another was the 4-2 win against potent Exeter. The best of them all, however, was the Medford game, where the undefeated rivals had to score in the last minute to edge by the scrappy B. H. S. club. Captain Bill Brown and his teammates played Inditing hockey all the time, and although they didn’t finish at the head of the list, they made every game a real battle. Maybe it’s the start of a new era in Belmont hockey, but only time will tell. 1 70 I William Brown Captain ( 111- long desire of the field hockey team ____ finally came true—an undefeated season— the first in seven years. There were ties among our victories, but not once did the opponents overcome our snappy forward line. Considering that Belmont was scored upon only once, a strong word should also he put in for the stalwart playing of the defense. Under the leadership of Eleanor Grcchan, captain, the team came out on top at Concord and Winchester, and tied with Melrose, Arlington, and Lexington. At a Boston Field Hockey Association tournament, Belmont was victorious in two and tied the third. 11 ere Kay Comeau, Eileen Foley, Eleanor Greehan, and Marion Macaulay were chosen for the all-school team. 'flic team is indebted to Coach Cleary, who in her third year at Belmont, proved that “the third time never fails. Albkrta Cleary Coach Ki.banor Gref.iian Captain Dzam Lewis Harris Coach Arthur Down Captain {W ITII TWO impressive Middlesex League wins in as many starts, it's a lair bet that the harassed Harrismen will cop that diamond diadem once again this season. I he opener against Concord was a thriller and the localites had to work hard to gain a 5 to 4 verdict with Jack Gibson on the slab. Xext was the Stoneham tilt, which was a wild game, as the 24 to 16 score in our favor well indicates. Veterans from the ’43 campaign are Ken Egan, Joe Elliott, Hill Brown, Bill Donovan, Art Dowd, Ered Gronberg and Paul Cochrane. There’s a bumper crop of good material which, with a bit of experience, should do a fine job. We seriously doubt if we have a potential State Championship C bib hidden away in the wilds of Concord Avenue Held; however, these B. H. S. lads will be definitely in there every minute of every game. [72 1 Uxaafz Earn n the basis of recent performances, the IJ 1944 track team should be another top notch one for Coach Wenncr. There are two reasons for this line of thought. 1 he first is the cinder stars’ triumph over Lexington and Concord in the annual Patriot’s Day meet which was held at Concord. A second strong reason is the 50 to 27 win over Winchester at Concord Avenue. In both these meets, Captain Will Tufts was outstanding, particularly in his specialty, the broad jump. All squad members are working bard ; morale is high, and by mid-season these lads should reach their peak. By the time you read this, you may place your correspondent in the category of a perfect prognosticator or just another poor guesscr. Wanna’ bet they’re tops? |73 1 M kldon Wen n er Coach William Tufts Captain .« • « rr unz d f[ad n y( n November nineteenth, the senior ___J class presented “June Mad ' a sparkling and hilarious comedy of modern youth. The story concerns Penny Wood and Chuck Harris, the boy next door, as they go about the frequently difficult, but always amusing business of growing up. When Penny’s Uncle Mervyn, only five years older than she, brings Roger Vaughan, a senior and killer-diller, home from college, she forgets to be a man-hater and succumbs to an attack of calf-love. In her efforts to make herself attractive to the fascinating Roger, she almost disrupts two families, hut the discovery that Roger is double-crossing Mervyn by trying to steal his girl brings her back to normal and incidentally to Chuck. Jeanne Olsen played an unforgettable Penny, with Bob Fouhy, as Chuck, and Jack Anderson as sophisticated Roger. The supporting cast consisted of Helen Crepeau, Betty Keegan, Wilbert Greenlaw, Vincent Heavey, Ann Quigley, Joe Smith, Dick Jordan, Barbara Jopling, John Picariello, and Ruth Thomas. The play was produced under the superb direction of Mr. Edmund M. MacCloskey. Ably assisting were Nelson Moore, Ruth Thomas, Barbara Jopling, as stage managers; Kathryn Nuzum, Eileen Kearns and Natalie Kearns as assistant stage managers; and Stanley Birch, lighting technician. nn , Uumoz ( 7 he Student Council in collaboration with the Dramatic Club presented the Broadway bit, “Junior Miss ' on February eighthteenth. 'Phis was no ordinary student production because members of our faculty played the adult roles. The audience beheld Mr. MacCloskey as the bewildered father of an even more bewildering daughter, who has just become interested in bovsand dates; Mrs. Hornsey. 7 as the patient, sympathetic mother; Mr. Leonard as Uncle Willis, who was endeavoring to recover from a ten-vear stretch, supposedly; Mr. Kolouch, as a pompous and self-important businessman, and last, but hardly least, Mrs. Brown, as Ellen, his lovable daughter and secretary. Junior Miss, alias Judy Graves, and her inseparable pal, Fuffy, engage in a conspiracy to marry Uncle Willis to Ellen, who they think is in love with Judy’s father. This little plot disrupts a family as well as a law partnership until, miraculously, everything ends happily. 'Phe student cast of this hilarious comedy included Irene Pearson, Kathryn Pauley, Jean Thrasher, Elaine Mac Kenney, Donald Oster-berg, Vincent Moore, Jack Anderson, Nelson Moore, Wilbert Greenlaw, John Higgins, Herbert Waite, Chester Harrington, and Bradford Munroe. The usually forgotten understudies were Barbara Ahern, Nancy Soller and Betty Keegan. aiety and laughter prevailed at the senior v—banquet, Wednesday evening, February six-—tecnth. From the “Star Spangled Banner ’ to “Goodbye Now,’ everyone had a memorable evening. Needless to mention, no one went hungry as the platters were licked clean by the dignified and serious seniors. President Joe Elliott presented the speaker of the evening, our popular principal, Mr. Higginbottom. Our inimitable English instructor, Mrs. Hornsey, was caught off guard as Joe asked her “to speak to his class.” As for the floor show—genial “Flip” Elamand outdid himself as master of ceremonies and orchestra leader, to say nothing of his rendition of “No Love, No Nothing.” Kcet tapped to the rousing rhythm of our student orchestra. A certain Waverley politician (do we need to mention whom?), Bob Moore, the incomparable, was much in evidence, soliciting votes as the next Mayor of Waverley. Two girls with strangely masculine appearing legs, swooned outside of the Keith Memorial at five o'clock in the morning, waiting to see “Frankie ’ Upon looking closely, they seemed to resemble Ludy Bonfiglio and Bob Moore. The harassed announcer of Station BHS was frequently interrupted in his advertisement of Wenner's Weeds, the only cigarette, by such antics as Mr. B. hunting for his radio and Pop Nagle scouting for post office employees. The cowboy music makers, the Shoplifters—Sydney Locke, James Mazzeo and Kenyon MacLeod—transported us to the wild W est and hack again. The tuneful songs of those beautiful girls, Jacynth Thompson, Dorothy Weichel and Doris Stauffer, brought the house down. The curtain closed as the entire cast sang a rousing finale. The senior banquet of the class of 1944 was over. 181 1 Belmont Vocational High School Donald Moore, Director IVonfs by IIf.rbkrt Davis Music Arranged by Harold Clrkikk -yfl-Pp t a— =4 =Fi= - i 4—A- = -r t 42. 0 f— £L —3— =$= C ( 7 iORUS •- L— te== =43, =4 -- ■ 1 j -- a j n Jp -fn +- 4 11|3 j 3?—— J? . s r w-u . ■ . r— —1 J— rfn- J VJ 0 f r I1 L d—' — r i —i r t t St p i ...
