Belmont High School Belmont, Massachusetts 1147 ETHEL F. SWAN Dedication The class of 1947 takes pleasure in dedicating its Yearbook to Miss Ethel F. Swan. Throughout our years in Belmont High School she has guided us along paths of right living and good citizenship. Not merely interested in giving knowledge from a book, she has succeeded in imparting a philosophy of life to us which will influence our thoughts and actions whatever our destinies may be. She lives in our hearts for the standards of integrity, good sportsmanship, loyalty, patriotism, and tolerance, which she not only teaches, but which she practises. 4 3n jfflemortam In 1946, Mr. Philip S. Snow, a beloved and revered teacher at Belmont High School, passed away. The entire school mourned for him, knowing that they had lost a true friend, a worthy companion, and a fine man. Both students and faculty wished to keep his memory alive with something tangible and lasting. Accordingly, the memorial here pictured was carved by Mr. Carl G. T. Olson, the design being suggested by Barbara Pierce. In grateful memory, it has been presented to the school as a constant reminder of the high courage and ideals exemplified by Mr. Snow. 5 MR.

In a sense there was a feeling of uncertainty, confusion, bewilderment, new adjustments—personal and social—to be made, and in general the unveiling of a new world faced you some twelve years ago. With the combined influence of the school, home and church, in addition to your initiative, ambition and purposeful attitude, your progress and success have been gradual but always positive toward a well defined goal. The realization that your immediate goal has been achieved presents a new challenge to your sense of values, requiring the formulation of worthwhile objectives. You will once again encounter the realm of new experiences, perplexing situations, but all have significant bearings on the progress that will determine your continued success. The individual who can carry his share of the burdens is the one whose work, for its merit, is respected and admired. A high sense of responsibility is the one essential characteristic required of all in modern occupational life. With the full realization that a consumer measures and evaluates the goods in terms of the seal and trade mark of established manufacturers, so, too, you carry with you the seal and trade mark of your community and school as an impelling force motivating you to achieve the very best in your selected vocation. You will, therefore, need to scrutinize well the past, consider the present, and plan wisely for the future. GEORGE HIGGINBOTTOM Principal 7 HISTORY Class History 1947 Of all the youngsters that turned their footsteps in the direction of the little ol’ red schoolhouse on September ninth, there was one particular group whose steps were a little more hurried and whose smiles were just a little brighter. This was the day of all days, for they had come through eleven years of school unscathed and here, finally, fulfillment of all the dreams they had had ever since coming to B.H.S. as slightly scared sophomores. You could have noticed it easily—the air with which they sauntered into classes, the tone they used when addressing underclassmen, the familiar nod with which they greeted teachers. These were all the unmistakable sisrns of a new found freedom ... today they were seniors! First, there had to be organization. That meant electing class officers and committees. After much excitement and competition, the ballots were counted and recorded, and the long awaited news spread like wild-fire. Top honors went to Bemie Higgins, “lizzie” Paragham-ian, Betty Blackham, and Ronny Morlock, who stepped into the shoes of president, vice - president, secretary, and treasurer, respectively. At the first class meeting Bernie Higgins announced that a Senior Senate was to be formed consisting of members representing the different sections around town, and that they were to be the official people to approach in the event that action was necessary. Comprising the Senate were “Flash” Piraino, Connie Coffin, Josephine Thomas, Dick Kelle-her, Ruth Mead, Bob Mark-ussen and Bruce Levis. The first big change to be made by these people was the installation of a victrola in the 10 cafeteria during the lunch periods. Just about this time, the news circulated that the Cross Country team was to be reorganized under the direction of Coach Olson, with Bob Markussen and Bob Nugent as co-captains. Because of lack of experience and practice, the team lost the first two meets, but before long it went on to prove itself not only capable, but able. The lettermen included Jimmy Telford, Ted Houston, Gerald Burns, Ralph Stevens, and next year’s cocaptains, Bob Rogge and Harry Maclnnis. The club calendar suddenly came to life, and the first group to get under way was the National Honor Society. This industrious group immediately set out to think up an interesting, lucrative activity which would “aim to please all.” A play was decided upon, and the necessary arrangements were made. But more of that later. Perhaps the hardest working club ever to set up shop in B.H.S. was the industrious accumulation of girls known as the Red Cross Club. Under the direction of Miss Richmond, the club engaged itself in the sort of work which showed a definite flavor of altruism. Some of the activities included Christmas boxes for the veterans’ hospitals, a knitted afghan, and time spent in Red Cross centers helping to sew and sort clothes for needy children. No femme feels really “in,” until she’s made the Belmontian Club. With Joan Garrett at the helm this year, things really got off to a smooth start. A candlelight ceremony initiating all new members was the club’s first enterprise. Following that, the meetings featured such interesting programs as an impersonating pianist and some charming ladies from the Elizabeth Arden Beauty Salon, who frave the girls some tips for good grooming. 11 No sooner had the word been issued, than aspiring Thespians gathered ’round Mr. “Mac” to find out all there was to know about the Dramatic Club. Members of the senior class critically surveyed the efforts of the lower classmen on initiation day, and those who made the grade participated in the Christmas play, “Christmas at Barney Magee’s.” Sports played a prominent picture in the fall scene. As was the case with many of the teams this year, the field hockey team, captained by Joan Shaughnessy, got off to a poor start but improved with the passing days. The best games of the season were the defeat of the “Min-utewomen” who had previously been undefeated, and victory over a stubborn Newton team. High scorer was Audrey Shepherd; next year’s team will have Gilda Toscano at its head. On the other side of the field, soccer played its part in the local sports’ schedule. Two victories over Water-town and the upset of a previously undefeated Tabor Academy high-lighted the soccer season. This team was ably captained by Ronny Morlock. Edging next in line, and certainly not to be overlooked, is the most popular of all sports, football. Everyone turned out to all the games, complete with cowbells and megaphones. The cheering was led by those eleven pert cheerleaders who had plenty of vim and vigor to perform their jobs well. Co-captained by Bernie Daily and “Uzzie” Paraghamian, the team had its share of ups and downs. Their record for the season showed four wins, five losses and one tie. But considering that they played with teams outside their class, which offered much stiffer competition, we can’t help regarding the outcome with a softened heart. The biggest thrill of 12 the season was tying Winchester, the Class C Champs, who had previously been undefeated and untied. Outstanding in his guard position, Daily was the main man in the line, while in the back-field, Paraghamian and the dynamic new junior. Vern Wynott, were outstanding. Coach “M” seems to see a bright future ahead, for twenty-two lettermen will be back next year, with Vern as captain. This business of being a senior meant work, we found out. Plans had to be made for the future. A Cap and Gown Committee headed by Ginny Egan and composed of Pat McDermott, Ruth Rooney, Arthur Skinner, and Mark O’Leary decided that the official diploma-receiving outfit would be the traditional black. But, with due respect to the fairer sex’s whim for wanting to be different, they will boast white tassels on their caps, while the males are happy with the black tassels. Along this line also, was the pleasant problem of class rings. Last spring a committee was formed for the express purpose of handling this matter. Bernie Daily, Bruce Levis, Jack Kasper, Betty Blackham, Ginny Egan, and Maria Aveni composed this group and selected the patterns. Members of the Student Council could be found at all the home football games cheerfully selling programs; and the whole school has enjoyed many Pitt Parker Assemblies sponsored by this organization. “Flash” Pir-aino was its capable president with Ginny Egan assisting him as vice-president. One of the “musts” on every senior class schedule is the annual Sadie Hawkins’ Dance. Inspired by the comic strip “L’il Abner,” this event found B.H.S. in full colloquial regalia. The dance’s success was due in no small part to efforts of the excellent committee, including Ruthy 13 . : ... Mead, Pauline Marobella, Jack Kasper, Phil Towne, and Jimmy Telford. Prizes were presented to the following: Charlie Bond, the typical L’il Abner; Connie Anderson, the perfect Daisy Mae; and Gerald Shirley for his appropriate outfit, boasting of red flannels topped by a barrel supported by suspenders. The teachers had their share of fun, too, with Coach M.” and Mr. Meyers attracting the most attention from the flirtatious females. Everyone had a large dose of fun and enjoyment. Selected out of the feminine department of the class were ten fortunate lassies who were invited to become Honorary Members of the Woman’s Club. They were picked after careful consideration because of their fine scholastic and social records. The lucky girls were Evelyn Blish. Caroline Brentlinger Sheila Brown, Jane Connor, Hope Franklin, Joan Garrett, Mary Lou LeVan, Phyllis Locke, Catherine Napoli, and Jean O’Brien. Not to be out-done, the boys had to be elected into an honorary society, and for them it was the Junior Ro-tarians. Stepping up to take these new honors were Tom Alexander, Peter Cruik-shank, Vincent Daily, Stanley Hazen, William Jophng, Bob Markussen, Ronald Morlock, Bruce Levis, John O’Reilly, Bob Schmalz. For something different, it’s the Latin Club. Its history and unique meetings make it something really out of the ordinary! The first meeting was given mainly to the installation of officers: Pontifex Maximus, George Hoysradt; Consuls, Caroline Brentlinger and B e r n i e D a i ly ; Aediles, Betty Ahern, Elaine Braff, Jane Murphy, and Bob Fahey; Censors, Lorraine Johnson and Sally Andrews; Questor Tabularum, Brenda Conlon; Questor, John Byrne; and Auger, Albert Howard. Taking part in the musical 14 end of the programs were the Vestal Virgins headed by Elektra Afentakis. For the artistic temper-ment, the Oil Painting Club held forth with regular sessions for the “brush and palette crowd. Now in its second successful year at B.H.S. it served as an impetus to encourage those talented in art to express their ideas on canvas. Under the excellent supervision of Miss Hogan, the club gave exhibitions at intervals throughout the year to show the increasing progress they had made, and also gave the members a chance to compete for recognition. Never let it be said that to be a “Bookworm is to be a disreputable character! In B.H.S. it’s nothing short of an honor to belong to the Bookworms’ Club. Membership in this group affords you the privilege of reading all the best sellers without having to wait around for them in the public libraries or in bookshops. There are books to suit every taste, whether you crave a good romantic novel or a lively westerner. Those trim, good-looking uniforms certainly are eyecatching! Yes, we had plenty of reason to be proud of our band, for they did a grand job at all the games, adding the right touch just where it was needed. Mr. Nettleton, new to the school this year, did much to increase the size of the group and directed it with real style. This next club is of special interest to camera enthusiasts, although all those interested in any sort of science attend. Of course, we’re speaking of the Science and Photography Club, which was greeted with unbounded enthusiasm by all. In the President’s shoes. Bob Schmalz gave a very interesting talk on cameras at the first meeting. A trip to the Harvard Observatory was another interesting high-light in this club’s activities. The next date on the cal- endar to he circled consnic-nuslv on the senior’s memo hooks, was November fifteenth—the ni ht. of the Senior Pl � v. The hall was nacked «s the curtain went nr) and th° nlav held the undivided attention of the audience until the nerformers came out for their final curtain call amidst ear-splittinv applause. The play presented was “The Connecticut Yankee,” featuring Bernie Vrot-sos, Nancy Bearens, Barbara Campbell, “Les” Freeman, Sally Morgan, Ann Walker, Katherine Carmickle, Mary Jane Doherty, Jimmy Consi-dine, Lowell Kennedy, and Joe Fasciano. Last, and certainly not least, was the outstanding performance of Don Richmond whose clever interpretation of Merlin was side-splitting. The play was operated entirely by the students, even to the mechanical work backstage. It was a job well done, and no praise can be too superlative for the cast and Mr. Mac. Whether it’s Bach or Boogie, you found it in the programs of the Music Club. President Roberta Allen kept the meetings moving at a rapid pace, and saw to it that all appetites for music were satisfied. Some of the most interesting meetings were the Home Talent Programs, in which the students were encouraged to show what they could do in either the vocal or instrumental line. Once a month the Publication Club went into a huddle, dashed off to cover their assignments, and the net result of the hurrying and scurrying was a four page monthly, “The Star.” Co-editors Ginny Egan and Joan Delmonico knew no peace ’til the last copy was distributed, and they were always on the job to keep the customers happy. The size of the German Club certainly didn’t betray the busy undercurrent of its members. Although it is only a small club, it has been one of the most active in the school. Its first meeting 16 was primarily to elect officers. and the results showed Phyllis Locke as president, John Bok as vice-president, Dick Heintz as secretary, and Stanley Hazen as treasurer. At this meeting it was decided that the club would go to see the operetta “The Student Prince” as their first project. And go they did with a very pleasant evening resulting. Other projects included sending Christmas cards to the teachers, and a dance given with the Spanish Club. The stronger sex won all the honors when it came to the Spanish Club. Bruce Levis was elected president; Jerry Dee, vice-president; Joe Cummings, secretary; and Francis Megan, treasurer. The program committee—Ruth Mead, Connie Coffin, and Barbara Dean— planned many varied and interesting programs, from movies in “espanol” to Home Talent Programs. From the profits of the dance run with German Club the club was able to have a banquet which was a fitting close to a prosperous year. Stepping forward to claim their own for the first time in several years, the hockey team jumped from last place to third in the G. B. I. League. Under the leadership of Bob Rousseau, the team climbed steadily, and made Mr. Frank Bennett, their popular coach, a mighty proud man. Johnny Beeten, Bill (Badman) Keefe, Joe Hilberg, and Fred Bailey were the seniors who made the squad. Captain Rousseau made the G.B.I. All Scholastic Team, and “Skippy” Vig-irolo, outstanding sophomore center, made the 2nd All Star Team. Coach Bennett loses only five men this year, so the prospects for next year are very bright. On February 14 and 15 the footlights of B.H.S. again shone as the National Honor Society presented a rollicking farce comedy, “Bachelor's Wife.” Donald Richmond, Merlin ol the Senior Play, 17 aroin stole the show with his hilarious oresentation of he bachelor’s wife. Bernard Vrots°s ahi” nlaved the bachelor who had sponged for vears from his father -T i m m v Con si dine. Sheila Brown. Evelvn Blish. Barbara Dean Phvllis Lo e. and Bob Schmak composed the rest of Hi cast; each did his part in making the nlav one of the best we’ve had at B.H.S. Ranking: as one of the most popular sports, basketball drew some of the largest crowds. With popular Mr. Wenne at the coaching end of it. nobly assisted by Mr. Husson, it’s no wonder that they’ve made Belmont proud! As April 17th drew near, all the Honorary Members of the Woman’s Club were busily planning for the annual exhibition. Those much planned projects for chemistry and physics had all been handed in. and now it was up t the committees to arrange them for display. As you entered the cafe there were language displays in one corner, science in another, tasty food prepared by the home economics classes, and dainty frocks by the sewing classes. And then the vocational exhibit! Whoever thought that right here in B.H.S. we had expert woodworkers, metalworkers, electricians, and auto mechanics! Everything from cabinets, chairs and tables, to waste baskets and electrical plans for a house 18 were there. Parents and friends came in droves to see the work done bv the students of B.H.S. All of a sudden it occurred to us that here we were with two short months ’til we donned those Ion dreamed-of caps and gowns. The senior banquet was next on th° agenda, and as in past years, it was an event that was most anticipated. On the days crept. Everyone’s attention was focused forward to the biggest social event of the whole year — the S e ni o r Prom. This was it— this was the last stepping stone that led to that diploma. And so it was that your senior year I assed. The time had slipped by unnoticed and now you were ready to show the world what you were capable of doing. There was the future stretching out like a huge, shining highway, and in the hazy distance, dreams to be realized and goals to be reached. There were new friends to be made and new knowledge to be gained. It was the beginning of a new and challenging experience, and the twelve years of lunch boxes, report cards and homework had just been a period of training. Yes, the future was waiting and the highway beckoned, for the road signs read— i uck, Success, and sappiness! —Joan Delmonico 19 147 Student Council First Row: J. Lovegren, P. Maro-bella, V. Egan, V.

We were like the filling of a sandwich; uplifted by the sophomore under-slice, ana perhaps a bit suppressed by the seniors above us; not literally, of course, but then, we knew we weren’t the youngest and newest in the school, and we weren’t the eldest and best, either. Just a happy medium. We have not made what could really be called “history,” but perhaps when we are the “upper crust” on the high school sandwich, we shall have a better chance to be successful. Football!! Cheers, shouts, and clanging of the much rung cow bells, plus the faces, sometimes muddy, of our outstanding players are brought back by the very mention of the word. Remember some of the tricky passes caught by Bill Caskie with Ed Conley on the throwing end? How about Vern Wynott? We’ll never forget this active new-comer who stepped out on the football field with a keen eye and a sure foot to take his place on our team. There are many more I could mention; in fact all the returning letter-men deserve a word of merit. Coach Mastrogiovanni is a wonderful coach and a “swell guy.” We have hopes of giving him a championship winning team next fall with Vern Wynott as captain. Although we don’t do as much raving about our soccer team, Mr. Wenner and his boys did a wonderful job. With Tom Cain and Arkey Cummings as co-captains, and with fellows like Amby Redmond and Bob Cashin and all the others back, the team’s good reputation should be kept up. Girls’ field hockey showed plenty of “zip,” and with Gil-da Toscano, Jean Fisher, and others, next year should be a “zip-a-dee-do-dah” year. 84 - Basketball!! The junior boys certainly made a wonderful showing on the court! Pres. Don Cass, Vern Wynott, next year’s captain, Bill Cas-kie, and Charlie Caruso are only a few of the many who are headed for the 1948 Tech Tourney. We expect them to walk off with the trophy without any difficulties. Hockey, with our old pal Mr. Bennett and that popular goalie, Paul Kellev (how’d V get in this column ? He’s only a sophomore!) to help out Jack Butt, Wally Flewelling, and all the others showed us, by last winter’s games, that we have some good junior ice-men. Baseball, with all those hard-hitting players like Don Cass, Steve Cucinotta, and the last of the Wettlauffers, for a while at least, surely did make that diamond sizzle! Around the track we saw many familiar faces, whose owners made us proud. Burgess Powell was superb. Tom Ashley, whose smiling face is a familiar sight to us, is a miler who’s done justice to Ed Savage’s record. Not only in sports did we try to keep up with the precedent set before us, but also in dramatics, we have Bill Quigley, who appeared twice on the stage of Brattle Hall. Right on our own stage we saw Joan Carroll, Bert Mul-lany, and others in the Christmas production. Even with our superb officers—Donald Cass, president; Thomas Newell, vice-president; Connie Clark, secretary; Louis DePamphilis, treasurer; and Miss Verna Ames, adviser, we’ll never be quite as good in everything as the Class of ’47. Won’t it seem funny not to have the same old crowd up ahead of us? Who’s going to take Uzzie’s place? We wonder if we can make the “Star” what it was this year. We certainly will miss you. Seniors! Best of luck to every one of you. Come back and see us when you can. Again, best of luck and farewell. 85 Sophomore Class History Last September a group of wide eyed people entered the portals of Belmont High. Here at last was the moment for which they had waited. They were entering high school, that glamorous place of fun for all—with handsome seniors, Sadie Hawkins’ Dances, parties and so many other pleasures. They looked around the good old campus through rose colored glasses. This illusion faded, however, in the first class in which homework was assigned. Cruel realization that high school involved as much, if not more, work than junior high flooded the sophomores’ hearts. But they soon took courage and looked on the bright side of matters. It was still high school, they remembered, and they were willing to give it a try! In the fall came football games. Enthusiastic spectators thronged the field cheering for the home team. Ths sophomores were in the lead where vocal cheering from the stands was concerned. They quickly learned all the cheers and songs and yelled with gusto at all the proper times. The future looks bright for next year, for Eddie Boyle, Russell McLeod, and Jackie Jannoni,— all were put into action in one game or another. When Christmas time came around, the sophomores were still in there pitching. Bobbie Jean Elliott, Regina Kelleher, Ann Gushee, and Bob Schmitt were all part of the cast of the Christmas play—“Christmas at Barney Magee’s.” We all enjoyed their rendition of the play, and our eyes were opened to some new talent. In due time the basketball season came in all its glory. The sophomores shared the school’s enthusiasm in support of our wonderful team. They had a personal interest in the team also, because Bob Fahey, Sonny Bonanno, Ralph 86 Bates, Dave Ripley, Dick Marciano, and Eddie Boyle took part in some of the games. As the senior class leaves B.H.S., we feel sure that “Mel has ample talent for his teams in years to come. Besides basketball games there are always hockey Karnes to go to at the same time. At the Garden and at the Arena the sophomores conducted themselves as B. H. S. students should. Paul Kelley was the starting goalie. Other sophomores who played regularly on the first team were Ronald Butt and Skippy Vigglorolo; stiH others served as reserves. Miss Cleary’s teams also boasted many sophomores. Those playing field hockey were Janice Bertram, captain of 2nd team, Kathleen Flannery and Louisa Kirlin; in basketball, Marlene M a 1 o o f, Margaret O’Hara, Edith Sullivan, Eleanor McGrail, and Janice Bertram. Success is foretold for her future teams also. Brain children of the class include Anne Gushee, Anne Swenson, Peter Wester-gaard, Paul McElroy, Bob Edmands, Martha Hazen, Don Williams, Francis Nugent and many others. In February the sophomore elections were held Eddie Boyle, Bob Fahey, Bobbie Jean Elliott and Paul Kelley were elected president, vice-president, secretary and treasurer, respectively, with Mr. B. Carson French as class adviser These lucky winners assumed responsibility fo-their group admirably, although their class did not take an active part as a whole in any special function. They are looking forward to the junior and senior years with rightful anticipation, for here is a fine group of people with many potentialities.
