To Joseph Kolouch — in ap- preciation of his comradeship and guidance, both as teacher and assistant principal, the Class of 1945 gratefully dedicates this Yearbook. MR. JOSEPH F. KOLOUCH hen WE graduate” has been a phrase often used during the past three years, and now it’s here — graduation, a little more serious than gay as we had expected, but still a definite milestone. Leaving high school?” What do you plan to do?” In these war years, the boys let Uncle Sam settle that; the girls have more freedom of choice. How- ever, all of us regard Belmont High School as the hub of a wheel from which we separate and spread like spokes, and, in this year of 1945, our only rim is the earth itself. Some will cover many miles and countries physically; some will labor mentally with concentration they never dreamed they possessed; many of us will meet unpleasant realities — homesickness, unfairness, dishonesty — things which scarcely touched our school lives. However, we have absorbed much democracy, and now we must live it. Wherever we go, we must live the things we believe in. This ideal must be constantly before us. No matter what race, nationality, or creed we contact, all will understand what we believe when we live by our beliefs. Sometimes Belmont High School has seemed like a jail, sometimes a refuge, sometimes just plain fun. But always it has been our daily business and the center of our activities. We have experienced our share of victorious foot- ball, basketball, and baseball teams as well as losing ones. We have had school plays and dances — good, bad, and indifferent. Some of our classes we have enjoyed, others . . . Even so, it was all our school. Though we wander far, and pass years in many places, memories are deeply imbedded. Twenty years from now, a football game will cause us to remember a close one against Watertown; a half -forgotten name on the page of a newspaper will bring forth the remark, Why I knew him at Belmont High School. And so our thoughts will travel back to our high school hub, Belmont High School. Mike and Tim, Co-Editors (Reading from left to right — Rows 1, 2, 3, 4) Row 1 Miss M. Louise Dorntee Miss Dorothy M.

Richmond [6 map ali 7 he culmination of your public school training has witnessed unusual events from kindergarten to graduation. The venture upon your educational program, significant as it may have been at the time, was overshadowed by the worst depression in the history of this country. This economic maladjustment, though in no way your responsibility, was indirectly shared to some extent by you through the additional sacrifices made by your parents. Emerging as graduates, you are more deeply aware of the conflict which engulfs practically every nation in the world. The educational pursuits of some members of your class have already been interrupted by their response to the call of duty in the service of our country. Additional members of your class will accept the challenge to duty in the not too distant future. The sacrifices which you are about to make are totally unlike and in no way commensurate with those made as you embarked on your educational careers. The results of these conditions and future events have to some degree helped to shape your future; stimulated a keen interest in local, national, and world-wide social and economic conditions; and aroused a more conscious realization of the part you must play in the future. The two unparalleled events are a challenge to your integrity, a respon- sibility which you must share to prevent any similar chaotic condition and to build a world of tolerance, peace and happiness. You must, above all, learn to maintain a strong and intelligent loyalty to the principles for which this nation is fighting.

Any worthy pride must stem from the knowledge that our young people go out from our school with a determined allegiance to the true and the good, with a sure knowledge of the meaning of brotherhood, and with a willing acceptance of those individual sacrifices without which there can be no victories. These have done so, and we are gratefully proud of them.

We wish to thank our class officers, Bob Connelly, Eddie Grant, Jackie Buckley, and Anthony Cristofaro, for their leadership during the past year. ... A vote of thanks also goes to cafeteria cashiers George Howard and Harry Papazian who were so good at taking our money for the whole year. . . . Attention! after prolonged deliberation, we have awarded the title of Most Energetic (at 2:15) to David Diamond. The way he flies out of class is amazing. . . . Won’t future students be thankful when David Richard rewrites all physics and math books so that they will be more understandable. . . . Congratulations to our playboys and girls: Roger Krause, Wendell Batchelder, Herbert Waite, Nat Emens, Elaine McKenney, Beverly Cover, and our other demons for the drama. . . . News flash! Little David’’ Brindley and Jim Hepburn have recently received a patent for their reversible vests. . . . When we asked Mike Chivers, famous for his knowledge of scientific facts, to give his explanation of the perplexing problem, Why do birds fly south in the winter?” he answered, Because it’s too far for them to walk.” . . . During the past year, Andy Scoop Kelleher has been under a long-term contract with 7 he Star newspaper, reporting the feats of John Kelley on the Garden ice. . . . How thankful the boys of B. H. S. are for the camerawork of George Howard, Bruce Johnson, Elliott Jacquith, and Roger Bacon. . . . Fashion note! We can’t fail to mention the torrid ties of Stewart Hobbs, Bill Stickle, Fred Bacon, Chet Harrington, and Guy Reny. ... In a recent press conference, Moe” Morrow and Joe King, Waverley’s pride and joy, respectively, made the state- ment that, as a post-war project, they w ' ould construct an Atlone Country Club. Watch your local newspaper for further details. . . . Political advertisement 1 Richard Betts, the son of you know ' who, strongly recommends to us the entire Republican ticket for the next election. . . . Paul Hughes, one of the strong, silent type, recently made an eloquent plea that Parent-Teacher Meetings be continued throughout the summer months. . . . And, dear reader, if we haven’t mentioned you above, it is because we save this last comment for you: — we think that YOU are the cleverest, best looking, and sportiest member of the Class of ’45.

As a class, its first decision was to request class rings during Junior year. This was an innovation in school history. Individually, Juniors began early to come to the fore in various phases of school activities. Gus Jackson proved outstanding in soccer, basketball, and track. Bob Dudley, Don MacDonald, and Andy Wettlaufer starred in the football lineup, and in hockey, Jack Martin had the honor to be named one of the G. B. I. All-Stars. Virginia Butt retained her prominence in the literary held as editor-in-chief of The Star for the second year. Notable for their achievement in radio discussions have been Rick Wheeler and Joan Appel. By mid-March the class had already elected its committee for the Prom, set the date for May, and initiated plans to make that dance a fitting farewell to the Seniors and a successful climax to an eventful Junior year. Helen E. Bridey Adviser omort CLASS OFFICERS Jean Imler T reasurer Joseph Lane President Bruce Levis Vice-President Ruth Mead Secretary aJJ N Tuesday, January 31, the Sophomore class met as a group for the first time this year. At this time Mr. Higginbottom introduced the class adviser, Mr. Orton. President Joe Lane, Vice-President Bruce Levis, Secretary Ruthy Mead, and Treasurer Jean Imler were elected as officers. As far as talent and athletes go, this class has a promising future. Bernie Bailv was the only one to make this year’s varsity football team, while Donna Tufts and Ann Comerford made good on the girls ' basketball team. Bob Rousseau made the varsity hockey team and Ronnie Morlock helped the J. V.’s basketball team go undefeated for the second year. Many of the Sophomores are on the staff of The Star. Ann Kirby and Gus Paraghamian seem to be the future crooners” of B. H. S., and Phil Towne ' s Orchestra is really going places. With all this talent, there is no doubt the Class of ’47 has a very bright future. Mr. Albert J. Orton Adviser Vkai Man My bilemma There’s talk at all the corners, There’s whispering through the halls; Who’s taking who and when and why, Keeps echoing from the walls. The Senior Prom is coming, The time’s approaching fast. When all the boys are taking stock And wondering whom to ask. My friends all have their steadies, They sure have got it bad; They’re urging me to take my pick But I’m a bashful lad. My Father’s tux won’t fit me, I cannot drive his car, I haven’t got a girl at all. Oh well, I’ve got my Ma! Kenneth Y. Wright, Jr., Class of ’45. As he saunters Down the street, People stop.

Joan Delmonico, Class of ’47. VdA ! I PUT MY faith and trust in you, I thought I could rely, But how you disillusioned me! I wish that I might die. I made you my ideal, you see, And so I copied you. I should have copied someone else. For now I’m flunking too. Patti MacAfee, Class of ’45. [ 54 ] OL Student C ouma V HE STUDENT COUNCIL has successfully carried out several enterprises this year under the leadership of Mr. Hig- ginbottom and the following offi- cers: President, Alan Glass; Vice- President, Robert Dudley; Secre- tary, Ruth Coombs; Treasurer, Andrew Wettlaufer. A series of Pitt Parker programs sponsored by the organization has been enjoyed by members of all classes, both for their entertain- ment and educational value. The sale of programs at football games and the profits from maga- zine subscriptions sold during Curtis Week have enabled the club to purchase a Public Address System for the school. A comedy, Professor, How Could You? given in conjunction with the Dramatic Club, was another outstanding feature of a successful year. r se ] d 7 HE FOUR cardinal principles of scholarship, J leadership, service, and character determine membership in the National Honor Society, which is the highest scholarship organization in the school. The purpose of the club is ' to create an en- thusiasm for scholarship, to stimulate a des ire to render service, to promote worthy leadership, and to encourage the development of character.” Under the guidance of club adviser, Mr. Meyers, and officers Joan Probst, Janet Hawkins, Anne Richard, and Thomas Hyde, this has been an active year for the group. Members successfully managed and enacted the play Quality Street,” which was given for the benefit of the Comery Scholarship Fund. Throughout the year the sale of United States War Savings Bonds and Stamps was also conducted by this organization. At an impressive service in the spring of each year, the new members, elected by the faculty, are initiated. At this time members pledge themselves to strive in every way possible to make the society’s high ideals, the ideals of their school and of their life.” [57 ] o yt arly in the school year the offi- cers of the Cercle Fran ais — President, Guy Reny; Vice-Presi- dent, Mary Jane Comerford; Secretary, Jane Masson; and Treasurer, Herbert Nickerson — under the guidance of their adviser, Miss Stevens, met and discussed plans for the club’s activities. These in- cluded French games, the annual Christmas party in collaboration with the Latin Club, a talk by Mr. Macjannett who operated a camp in France for young people, and a prospective visit of a French Naval Offi- cer, and films of France in war time. As every meeting is conducted in French, the club serves to better the stu- dent’s understanding of the language, to improve his ability to speak it, as well as to provide a background knowledge of the country and its customs. [ 58 ] Jhe panisk O rganized in November, the Spanish Club be- gan its activities with a Christmas party with entertainment and refreshments. A performance of Spanish and American music and dances took place on April 13 to celebrate Pan- American Day. Colorful costumes were worn for each number. Mexican dolls were sold to cement the good neighbor” relationship. The officers who have helped to make the year so successful follow: President Chet Harrington Vice-President , Genevieve McInnis Secretary Anthony Cristofaro Treasurer Edward Andelman Press Agent Ruth Mead The club enjoyed a farewell banquet May 29. At this meeting the incoming officers were installed, and an evening of delightful entertainment pleased everyone. •— w Dwyffc T9 — 7 HE MEETINGS of SUMMA have included a variety of programs, all with the purpose of __ y encouraging interest in the customs and liter- ature of Greece and Rome. First we installed our officers, using our Roman ritual, now traditional with the club. The Christmas meeting with the French Club was, as usual, a popular program featuring games and music. Next we revised our constitution, providing for a Senate and officers with the duties of those in the Roman Republic. A dramatic program in March was followed by a series of illustrated lectures, two from the Museum of Fine Arts and one by Dr. Robert M. Green on the Latin of King Alfred’s Court.

The officers follow: President, Paul Egan; Vice- President, LaRue Hosmer; Secretary, Irene Pearson; Treasurer, Denning Nicoll. After a lapse of ten years the club pins are again seen around our school corridors, for many members are wearing the little Dachshunde. The club had a real Christmas party, complete with a Christmas tree, gifts, and German cookies. January brought snow and skiing and pictures of Hannes Schneider. The club enjoyed a Souvenir Day program at which members presented articles, old and new, that had come from Germany. The club also sponsored an International Get-Together of the foreign language organizations of the school. We feel that the Dachshunde have had a highly successful year and are on the way toward becoming well known in our school life. hi unde, die bellen, bets sen nichtl [ 61 ] d 7 he vital needs of a country at war were dealt with by the Junior Red Cross Club as it under- _ y took many helpful activities. Early October found us busily engaged in filling Christmas boxes for the children of Europe, and in November we made Thanksgiving favors for the Veterans ' hospitals. Later in the month, the annual membership drive proved a great success. During January, many members did clerical work for the Blood Donor Center; others cared for children whose parents were donating blood. Our next project was a cheerfully colored afghan, knitted by the girls. A second drive, this time for playing cards, brought pleasure to our wounded servicemen in the hospitals. In the spring, a Roller Skating Party was a happy climax to the year’s work. Congratulations to every member for a fine spirit of cooperation. The officers are: President, Doris Garabedian; Vice-President, Orianna Richards: Secretary, Ann Levis; Treasurer, Katherine Kelehar. L 62 ] ) I nder the capable leadership of Jane Buxton, Jj President; Joanne Nagle, Vice-President; Ruth (_ Coombs, Secretary; and Nancy Rooney, Treas- urer, the Belmontian Club completed a very successful year. Highlights of the year ' s program included a talk by Mr. Stengel of the Home Front Committee, Mary Carr Baker’s talk on Boy and Girl Relations. and a fashion show and tea for the mothers. In keeping with the aim of service to others, dona- tions were made to the Red Cross Drive and the Seeing- Eye Dog Fund; thirty Christmas boxes were mailed to former Belmont High graduates now in the service and hospitalized in this country, and the club members voted to stand ready at all times to assist the Home Front Committee in any way possible. The highlight socially was the Belmontian Formal, which was very well attended in spite of snow blocked streets. The advisers who helped keep club affairs running smoothly were the Misses Anderson, Mathews, Cal- derara, Blennerhassett, and Mrs. Howarth. [ 63 ] Jlie eJ ramatic CL V _c_ Z r o- n � . he dramatic CLUB, under the supervision of Edmund M. MacCloskey, President Ruth Coombs, Vice-President Vincent Moore, and Secretary-Treasurer Elaine McKenney, has accomplished much this year. There have been many instructive pro- grams and entertainments, among them, readings by Irene Marmein, director of The Boston Stock Company, and also readings by Anne Reed, professional mono- loguist, as well as skits, plays, and entertainment by members of the club. It took an active part in the Massachusetts Drama Festival, which was held in Somerville on April 14, and also put on a comedy in three acts, Professor, How Could You?” on April 27, sponsored by the Student Council. There are 120 members in the Dramatic Club this year, the largest number in its history, and we sincerely hope it will continue to increase and progress as it has up to this time. [ 64 ] II 1 _ H. Iff vj ■ 1 1 j n il TV 1 W j 1 ,J M L - worms ow in its fourth year, the Bookworms ' Club is one of the largest and most popular clubs in the school. Letters from boys who were former members and are now in the service, urge that it be con- tinued. It is being continued, and in a grand manner, for a library of almost two hundred books has been accumulated, and we now have an enrollment of sixty members. Books, which are purchased with the bian- nual dues of the club, have been selected to satisfy the reading appetite of every bookworm. Many interesting activities comprise the program for the year, such as our annual book poster contest and talks by some of the men and women who write, pub- lish, and distribute books. We’re sure that in the future our club will continue to extend to more and more students the privilege and pleasure of reading really fine, well chosen books. [65J Jl ome n (Economics •G s. — • Q I he home economics club was formed for the first time this year. At present we have a membership of approximately thirty girls, with many more prospective members. The first meeting in December, the following officers were elected: President, Pauline Sullivan; Vice- President, Ann Anderson; Secretary-Treasurer, Grace Roche. Mrs. Albert of the staff of the Academie Moderne, at the March meeting, spoke to the club on personal grooming. We hope that next year, as the interest in the Home Economics Club’s activity increases, our membership will be larger, our meetings more frequent, and our contribution to the social life of the school more varied and serviceable. The advisers are Miss Eleanor McAuliffe, Miss Katherine Kearney, and Miss Ethel Irvin. [ 66 1 n i cience an qrapluj 7 he science and photography club, sponsored by Mr. French, was newly organized this year as a chapter of the Science Clubs of America, a national organization for the advancement of science. The officers are Janet Hawkins, President; Joan Bren- nan, Vice-President; Helen Ryan, Secretary-Treasurer. The regular meetings of illustrated talks on various phases of photography, science movies, and a program of science hobbies were supplemented by trips to B. B. Chemical Company, United Drug Company Labora- tories, and M. I. T.’s atom-smasher. Members had many opportunities to develop and print photographs. The art committee, with Charlotte Fowler as chairman, painted a very striking chemical mural for the walls of the chemistry rooms. In May, the club had an outing at the home of Mr. French. This year the membership has been limited to forty- eight. The club promises to have a most outstanding program next year. [ 67 ] n B, ' elmont senior high school is justifiably proud of its band which was present at every home football game last fall. Before the game and during the half, when the band marched down the field with drum-major Dotty Carter in command, the crowd demonstrated by their cheers the wonderful school spirit which prevails. Every night that Belmont played in the Tech Tourney the band was there. This lively group was also on call for any civic organization which asked for its presence. At the Vocational Conference, it contributed one half hour of concert music under the direction of Walter Smith. In a parade, when the blue and red uniforms are seen, a strong cheer can be heard throughout the throng of spectators. Why? The Belmont High School Band is coming! [ 68 j 7 he a cappella choir has just completed an- other memorable year under the capable leader- ship of Miss Ide Marie Bunting. As a result of the biweekly meetings, held in the auditorium, several interesting programs were presented for various groups in town. The annual Christmas con- certs given for the elementary schools of Belmont were greeted with hearty enthusiasm from student body and faculty alike. Participation in a program for the Bel- mont Woman ' s Club brought deep appreciation for the many interesting selections. It might be well to mention that several members are talented in fields other than that of singing. Hope Franklin was our flutist, while Loryne Koebele and Roberta Allen frequently accompanied the choir on the piano. Jean Thrasher aptly handled the vocal solos for the group. [69] VL wiiomij he astronomy club is one of the new and very active science clubs to be organized this year. Meetings have been held every second week. There are about twenty members. Mr. A. R. Clish, science instructor, is the club sponsor. The aims and purposes of the club have been as varied as the number of members. We have learned much about the sun and the many members of the sun’s family. We have learned to name and identify many of the common constellations and all of the constellations in the zodiac. Some members have been busy on home activities which have helped make the formal meetings of great in- terest. Members have made slides of the stars in the spring, summer, autumn and winter skies. Some have been building simple telescopes and a few have been constructing simple planetariums. We look forward to the building of a large tele- scope for the school next year. [ 70 ] a •i ??

A «K 1 a The star, which is really the fifth newspaper Belmont High has had in its history, originated in the minds of Virginia Butt, now its editor-in-chief, and Yvonne Burkett, now back home in England. These two girls were directed to Mr. Leonard, and the three formulated plans for what is now called THE STAR. To their minds a school newspaper should: 1. Be of service to the entire school. 2. Be good enough to be permanent. 3. Be financially secure. For these goals the staff of THE STAR labors: Editor-in- Chief, Virginia Butt. Sports Editors — Florence Azzone, Andy Kelleher, Ron- ald Englund. Business Manager — Irene Pearson. Exchange Manager — Ann Collins. Photography — Roger Bacon, Bruce Johnson Club Editor — Ann Levis. Feature Editor — Virginia Cass. Staff — Martha Apollonio, Jeanne Berry, Nancy Birch, Jeanne Campbell, Sylvia Darrow, Jayne Dwyer, Barbara Dean, Joan Dwyer, Virginia Egan, Joseph Fasciano, Ethel Ginsburgh, Paul Hughes, Patricia Leary, Ellen Manning, Ruth Mead, Terri Nowak, John O ' Reilly, Carole O ' Rourke Betty Ann Owens, Donna Tufts. Adviser — Robert W. Leonard. [ 71 ] ) FTER SUCCESSFULLY COMPLETING its Second J school year, the Music Club is gaining wide _ yV recognition among the members of the student body and faculty. During many of the meetings, vari- ous members were given opportunities to display theit previously undiscovered talents. In the latter part of the year, the club was entertained by guest soloists from select music schools in and around Boston. Some out- standing concerts of the winter and spring seasons were brought to the attention of and attended by interested members. Grateful thanks go to Miss Anderson, the capable adviser, and to the officers: Jean Thrasher, Loryne Koebele, Martha Apollonio, and Anthony Cristofaro. [72] ' JLJ, onivn C“7 HI by Vi he forum club has been capably led this year by Arthur Chivers, President; Rick Wheeler, Vice-President; Ellen Manning, Secretary; John Appel, Assistant Secretary, and Miss Anderson, Adviser. Under the club ' s sponsorship, on November 7, a presidential election was held in the High School. On March 10, several members participated in the question period of an international broadcast in which Yvonne Burkett of Croyden, England, a former B. H. S. student, presented her views of American and British education. Rick Wheeler and Roland Muller discussed the G. E Bill of Rights on WBZ’s New England Junior Town Meeting of the Air, and Mary Jane Comerford and Joan Appel took part in a Newton High School program which was recorded for transcription in for- eign countries. Talks by Miss Priobala Mangatrai from Lahore, India, and Mr. Marvin Behrens, WBZ news commen- tator, were thoroughly enjoyed. Best wishes, Rick and Joan, for an equally successful program next year. [ 73 ] J T was the night of November 17 at about 8 o’clock, and the auditorium was filled to capacity with an expectant audience The curtain was up; the stage was bare. Suddenly the cast entered at rhe left, and the audience was hushed. We find Jack Ellery directing the final rehearsal of a mystery play. During a scene between Jack and Claudia, two shots are fired by Morton Hill on cue. Jack reels and falls. Suddenly it is discovered that Jack is really dead, and not acting. Panic, frenzy, and fear grip the assembled players. And here is where Sheriff Pete Cullen enters. He jumps into action, and, much to his bewilderment, finds that everyone in the company would have a motive for murdering Jack. So, now, who DID do it? The unforgettable performances of Roger Krause, Herbert Waite, Terri Nowak, Beverly. Cover, James Timberlake, Wendell Batchelder, Patricia Mac- Afee, Betty Ann Owens, William Stickle, Paul Hughes, Sylvia Jackson, Nancy Birch, and Kenneth Dick, combined with the unchallengable directing talent of Mr. MacCloskey, the assistance of Jean Thrasher, Ellen Manning and Mrs. Hornsey, all molded Murder in Rehearsal” into a most enjoyable senior play. O N two nights, February 2 and 3, the curtain rose on the home of the Misses Throssel of Quality Street. Here, then, began the story of the maiden ladies of this street, the youngest of them all being Miss Phoebe, and of the dashing Captain Valentine Brown. Barrie’s play of the Napoleonic War era is the account of a young man who leaves behind all he loves to fight for his country’s cause in time of war, and of the changes wrought during his absence. It is mainly, however, the story of the gallant women on the homefront who remain behind to fly their own flag. The leading roles were played by Ann Levis, Roger Krause, and Janet Hawkins. The supporting cast included Wendell Batchelder, Anne Richard, George Howard, Jane Masson, Gloria Folger, Doris Garabedian, Sylvia Jack- son, Nat Emens, Herbert Nickerson, Herbert Waite, Ruth Struik, Thomas Hyde, and Ruth Olson. The production was directed by Mr. MacCloskey and was presented by the National Honor Society for the benefit of the Comery Scholarship Fund. [ 74 ] � OB )S JD loYV ft ( Ckttvay ijiWft ' TV. Vv outA cy emor tep right UP, folks. Step right up, and hear about a great show. Yes sir, that ' s what the critics are saying, A great show.” Of course, at every banquet, the part before the show is popular too. Seen at the head table during the festivities were Mr. and Mrs. Shibles, Mr. and Mrs. Higginbottom, Mrs. Hornsey, Miss Bridey, Mr. and Mrs. Haugh, Anthony Cristofaro, Bob Connelly, Jackie Buckley and Ed Grant. May it be here stated that Mrs. Hornsey can pack a lot into a five minute speech! The spot light on the stage disclosed our Master of Ceremonies, Andy Kelleher, ready to conduct us through the evening’s entertainment. Those lovely, charming ladies — John Kelley, Blair Harding, Chet Harrington, Bob Morrow, Paul Hughes, and Jack Dacey — in their short skirts and long curls, lent their support (in the form of a chorus line) to Jeanne Kirby’s Jennie.” Girls began to squeal as Frankie” crooned I’ll Walk Alone,” but some- how — lack of vitamins perhaps — the Swoon King swooned himself. The limp body of Mr. Sinatra, alias Jack Gibson, was carried olf the stage on a stretcher by two McLean attendants. One of the evening’s real treats was the dancing of Dot Carter as was Jean Thrasher’s rendition of Night and Day.” The torchy warbling of our own Dinah Shore, Jean Seaver, accompanied by Tony Cristofaro at the piano, was indeed memorable. Talent seems to blossom in B. H. S., and no show could be complete with- out hearing Rita McGuinness’ latest song hit. Rita’s song to our Alma Mater was sung by those slick seniors. Jane Buxton, Sally Mapplebeck, Marilyn Carter, Jeanne Kirby, and Rita herself. The wailing girls of Mr. Anthony’s program, the news reports ” of Flash Dacey, and the antics of Gerard Place and Andy Kelleher rounded out the entertainment program for the senior banquet of 1945.

V6« a. c Vus c oem, q 7 here is A lot to the writing of a theme. One doesn’t just pick a subject, J sit down and write. Of course, you can try that, but if you are any- thing like me, you will find yourself making stars or writing out the alphabet. I always remember, when I try to write, that I haven ' t read the funnies, but there are other ways of putting off the issue; does mother need anything at the store? It is my honest opinion that best results are obtained by waiting until the last minute; meaning midnight of the day your theme is due. That way, you know it has to be done and can’t be put off any longer. What you think makes sense at midnight may be a riot to your teacher at 10 A. M. And you might find yourself with an A.” (This will probably be neutralized by your mark in punctuation.) On the other hand, a piece written two days before may make the writer ask, Did I write that?’’ when he hands it in. Perhaps it got a little sour ’tween the cup and the lip. However, let us return to our midnight hero. Having struggled through one side of a page by means of large writing and eight paragraphs, he wonders how long his composition should be. With that a harsh voice echoes through his mind, screeching, Stop when it ceases to be interesting!” I’ll take that hint. Walter Cheever, Class of ’45 1 80 1 (f oijS ’ d aihetlall earn ) late flurry of two baskets gave Braintree High a 30-27 victory over Belmont High in __ T the Tech Tourney finale, and thereby snatched the Class B crown away from our Wennermen for the second straight year. Just previously, the Red and Blue had triumphed over Rockland 37-29, and over Winthrop 46-4 1, to gain admittance into the finals. This year’s great quintet made a clean sweep of the Middlesex Loop with 14 wins and a season’s record of 18-4. Co-Captains Eddie Grant and Bob Morrow led the scoring parade, Grant scoring 245 points. Bob Jackson completed the highest scoring trio in the league. Dave Brindley and Jack Donahue were great at their guard shots, Brindley being voted an All-Tourney guard. Besides all this, the Red and Blue boasted a grand second team of King, Weedon, Marciano, Conti, and B. Grant. Although most of this season’s team will graduate, an undefeated J. V. outfit gives promise of another great season. 82 ] CJi ’ asLtlJi Vi earn Q he girls’ basketball team completed an un- defeated season by winning their game with Melrose: 21-11. The girls, coached by Miss Cleary, were led by Captain Mary Jane Comerford. The forwards, Jeanne Campbell, Nancy Casey, Pat O’Reilly, and Martha Apollonio, compiled a total of 220 points. The guards, to whom must go much credit for keeping their opponents’ scores down to a mere total of 79 points, were Mary Jane Comerford, Lura Louise Williams, and Gloria Gruhn. In only two games were the Red and Blue threat- ened. These were with Lexington, Belmont’s tradi- tional rival, and Arlington. The final score, however, found Belmont three or more baskets ahead. In no game did the guards allow their opponents to score more than 17 points. The second team, captained by Nancy Birch, was not as successful as the Varsity, although they fought with a spirit worthy of Belmont High. [ 83 ] J ' focLeu ' Ot ' earn ack of proper practice facilities hurt Bel- mont’s hockey chances more than anything else this past season. With practices few and far between. Coach Frank Bennett faced the tough task of trying to keep the squad in shape for their Saturday encounters. Captain Jack Kelley, however, brightened an otherwise dull season by figuring in 28 of the Red and Blue ' s 34 goals and just falling one short of the individual scoring crown. Kelley’s dominance is shown by the fact that no team, except Cambridge Latin in the season’s finale, could hold him to less than two points per game. High spot of the season was his six points against the league champs, Stoneham. After surprising Rindge, 5-3 in their opener, the local icemen fell into a seven game slump before shading Arlington near the season’s end. Kelley, besides being All-Scholastic cen- ter, was chosen as the Outstanding Schoolboy Hockey Player by the Boston Sport-Light, while Jack Martin was chosen for the G. B. I. second squad. 84 ne of the best soccer seasons in years was en joyed by this season ' s hooters. High spots of a season which featured live victories were wins over Tabor, Governor Dummer, and Milton, plus a 2-2 tie with a championship Medford outfit. The team also had the satisfaction of taking the season series with Watertown, two games to one. High scorers were Cap- tain Roger Westcott and Art Marciano. Other members of the first team were Cleary, Beamon, Jackson, Fey- ling, Foust, Glass, Emens, and Butt. } OlCKFUHEy I 85] APTAIN GLORIA GRUHN led the girls’ held hockey team, coached by Miss Cleary, to victory in hve of their eight contests. Members of the forward line included Mary Jane Comerford, Gloria Gruhn, Ann Collins, Mary Crowell, and Mary Lou Doggett. They were backed by the defense, consisting of Pat O’Reilly, Lura Louise Williams, Virginia Butt, Nancy Birch, Martha Apollonio, Barbara Harris, and goalie, Joan Appel. The Jay Vees were led by Captain Jeanne Campbell. At the Boston Field Hockey Association Tourna- ment held at the Winsor School, Mary Jane Comerford and Lura Williams were honored by playing on the All-Scholastic team. The season closed with a decisive victory over Melrose, the first in seven years. The girls of the Red and Blue fought zealously in every game, and won the majority of them, losing only to better teams after closely contested conflicts. [ 86 DootLli Zk earn -JHE belmont high football machine enjoyed a very successful season last fall. A five and three record was creditable as the Red and Blue stepped out of their class to tackle four Class B outfits. Our new coach, James Mastrogiovanni, after a disappointing opener, did a great job in bringing the squad back to top form for the remainder of the season. High spots of the year w 7 ere triumphs over such powers as Wey- mouth and Brookline, plus a 6-0 victory over rival Watertown. Captain Bob Connelly proved an able leader and played heads-up ball at his center position. Harry Papazian w 7 as high scorer while Jack Kelley proved to be the best ball carrier. Veteran Dick Shea plus newcomers Don MacDonald and Andy Wettlaufer rounded out a well balanced backfield. Bob Carroll, Joe Pellegrino, and Captain-elect Bob Dudley -were king-pins of the line. Prospects for next year are good and if all goes well, a fine team can be expected. V t © Q 0 © [ 87 ] EaseLtt 7 earn NOTHER MIDDLESEX LEAGUE championship seems in the offing for this season ' s edition of baseball at Belmont High. Already the squad has won four games with ease, and if they con- tinue to display the same brand of baseball they have shown to date, they should go through the season un- beaten. A veteran infield includes Jack Gibson, Art Goulter, and Harry Papazian. The outfield is comprised of Weedon, Morrow, and Connelly. A strong pitching start is composed of Myles Coates, Eddy Grant, and Joe Pellegrino. Andy Wettlaufer is behind the plate. With hitting, pitching and fielding all excellent, Coach Harris appears to have another great ball club. [ 88 ] JmcL iJe earn oach wenner has had the ability to produce f good track teams during his coaching at Belmont, V -- and this year is no exception. The Wenner-men made an auspicious start by trouncing Winchester 59-18 and then dropping a close 381 2-29 1 ? decision to a crack Cambridge Latin outfit. Star sprinter is Bob Jack- son, who also has had success as high jumper. Hosmer, Cullen, and Savage are outstanding performers in their respective events, while Don MacDonald and Dave Brindley personally take care of the broad jump and shot put. Seven meets have been scheduled and the team will be pointing for the big events of the year — the State Relays and the State Meet.

Moore, Director J N order that the Town of Belmont might continue to offer its young people every educational opportunity found in the best schools of the country 7 , it was decided by a vote of the townspeople to establish and maintain state-aided vocational education. In September, 1943, the Belmont Vocational High School actually began to operate. Its primary purpose is to fit pupils for profitable employment. Teachers who were educationally qualified and who had worked a minimum of eight years in industry were chosen to teach the following trades: automo- tive mechanics, machine work, electrical and acetylene welding, sheet metal work, and cabinet making. In September, 1944, it was found necessary to add to this list drafting, electricity and radio work. One half of the student’s day, which is six hours in length, is spent in the shop. This time is devoted strictly to productive work finished to industrial standards. The other half of the day is spent on academic and related subjects. Each student’s progress is recorded on a progress record sheet, and he can tell at a glance just what his proficiency 7 and standing is in his class. A very important phase of the program is the Work Experience Policy.” This plan allows sophomores, juniors and seniors to measure up against full industrial conditions while still registered as members of the school. In the sophomore and junior years a boy is allowed to go out into industry and work for remuneration for fifteen days per year. In the senior year, a boy who has fulfilled all requirements may be permitted to leave school as early as April 1 to work in the industry for which he has been trained. This program, although very young, has already started to prove its worth. It is open to boys who intend to go to college as well as those who plan to enter industry or the business world upon graduation from high school. [ 92 ] mex Mb ' :v l - -Vcxpr.c tr Q- oc e. Wj.
