Text from Pages 1 - 136 of the 1948 volume:

P.o. BOX ,25 01 BELMONT, MA 0217 Q c.nttALi orewor J Before any of the great works of man can be completed, there must be a plan — a blueprint. The purpose of the BLUE PRINT staff has been to com- pile a faithful record of the Class of 1948, not only for the members of this Class, but in hope that this BLUE PRINT will serve, in some measure, as a guide for the classes that are to follow. May the records of achievement here recorded, serve as an inspiration to us all, pointing the way to the goal of high ideals and of accomplishment in the years that are ahead.

Under their guidance, we have attained great heights of success which have given us all a delightful warmth of pride in our school and community. From top center, clockwise: LEWIS S. HARRIS, B. ALBERTA CLEARV, LUCIEN A. LISABETH, CARL G. OLSON, WILLIAM S. NAGLE, FRANK R. BEN- NETT, JR., WILLIAM T. COWING, MICHAEL J. EGAN, G. JAMES MAS- TROGIOVANNI. T. MELDON WENNER MR. GEORGE HIGGINBOTTOM Principals Wl edSacj e Q J OU have heard discussed, or perhaps have witnessed, what is described as a per- ( feet football play — a play in which each player carries out his assignment, the _ details of which were carefully worked out previously by the coach and rehearsed by members of the squad. In a sense this represents perfection, and yet the funda- mental mechanics of this or similar circum stances indicates the preparation of well developed plans, the execution of which depends upon the perseverance, initiative, fort- itude and the desire to win on the part of each individual. Though it must be admitted that other factors are involved, too much emphasis cannot be placed upon the source and pattern to follow. The formulation of plans is not confined solely to athletics, but rather extends in all directions and projects from all forms of activities. The goals to be attained, however, will require essentially the same enthusiastic approach and the overwhelming desire to succeed that is demonstrated on any athletic field or endeavor. The BLUE PRINT has been the result of the cooperative efforts of its staff mem- bers, with details and plans well established and a preconceived pattern to be followed. Similarly, the school has, through its curriculum, made available a general pattern for your progressive growth and advancement, and has encouraged and assisted you in out- lining and developing educational and vocational plans which will bring you the greatest personal satisfaction. Tomorrow, there will be no one to shape your course of action, no one to develop your plans, but the blueprint of your method of approach, your goal to achieve, and success to attain will be an individual enterprise. 5 FIRST ROW Albert J.

Verna B. Ames Class Adviser Jo the C (ad5 194-8 It has been a pleasure to work with you for the past three years, and now that they have come to a close, may I pass on to you this thought by Robert Whitaker: Live for something, have a purpose, And that purpose keep in view; Drifting like a helpless vessel, Thou canst ne’er to life be true, Half the wrecks that strew life’s ocean, If some star had been their guide, Might have long been riding safely, But they drifted with the tide.

Familiar walls greeted the members of the class of ’49 when they returned in September to their Junior year at B.H.S. This was to be perhaps the most enjoyable year for the ' 49’ers, as the trials and bewilderments of the Sophomore year were over; and it was still another year before job-finding and college-seeking wor- ries would begin. A full year including plenty of studying, ample social life, and an abundance of sports was in store, and good times were shared throughout the year by all. The important thing for the autumn months was football, and large crowds turned out to back the players and to cheer, led by cheerleaders Ann Connor, Nancy Richards, and Ruthie Acheson. Cheered on to a very successful season were Eddie Boyle, who was on the receiving end of some fine passes thrown by “Skippy” Viglirolo; Jack Jannoni, next year’s cap- tain, who did some very fancy running and passing; and Bob Stennes, “Hank” Ferracane, Russ MacLeod, “Red” Marsh, and “Butch” MacArthur, who all turned in stellar line play in B.H.S.’s forward wall. Coach “M” admired and respected by all, is leaving, and we are truly sorry that he will not be back next year. So long, “Coach,” and thanks! The Junior girls were busy through the fall season also, and had some good times while working hard at field hockey. Jane Frisbee, Eleanor McGrail, Claire Ducey, Jane Brown, and Janice Bertram all turned in fine performances for Coach Cleary. Mr. Wenner, our very- well liked and busy “coach of three sports,” had his hands full during the fall with plenty of soccer men and a very rugged schedule. “Sonny” Bonanno, next year’s captain, Dave Ripley, Jim McBride, Bob McLellan, Dick Marciano, Bob King and John Shaughnessy Continued on Page 111 omore PRUDENCE I.

C 7 HE Sophomore Class met for the first time as a group on February J 17, 1948, to discuss the election of class officers. It was announced at this meeting that Miss Mathews would be the Class Adviser. In March, the members of the class cast their ballots for Paul Redmond, pres- ident; Gordon Fitch, vice-president; Lilia May Conlon, secretary; and Ruth Brown, treasurer. The Sophomore Class was well represented in sports this season. Whitney Walsh played varsity football; David Reidy, Harold Beilis, Joseph Crotty, and Francis Coyle, varsity hockey; Dick Watson, basketball; John Govan and Sterling Hardy, cross country. The girls also brought their share of glory to the class. Eleanor Quinn played on the girls’ junior varsity basketball team, while on the second team in field hockey were Joan Englewald, captain ; Beverly Hartrick, Eleanor Quinn, Connie Napoli, Lucille Levis, Claire Macdonald, Glen MacKenzie, Joan Giacolone, and Dianne Gaffy. In academic, athletic, and social activities, this class will make its mark !

C ouna HE Student Council, a fine organization J of high standards, planned and spon- sored drives and programs for the gen- eral welfare and benefit of the school. Each homeroom chose a representative. This past year, the Council conducted the worthy Infan- tile Paralysis Drive and the magazine sub- scription drive for the athletic fund. In March, representatives attended the National Student Council Association Convention held in New Bedford. The Student Council assemblies, enjoyed by all, included an interesting program by the noted Dr. Arnold Young, on the correct usage of English words. Miss Virginia Drew, hand- writing expert, surprised some of the students by giving an analysis of their character through penmanship. Mrs. Shoemaker pre- sented a fascinating account of her diving ex- periences, while investigating the sea-world dowm off the Florida coast. These are only a few of the entertaining and constructive as- semblies. 56 FIRST ROW: C. Goss, M. Edgerton, R. Dresser (Treasurer), A. Holaday (Secretary), S. Schatzki (President), P. Dexter, R.

Rational onor Ok URING most of the year, the National 1 Honor Society membership has consist- ed of thirty-two members of the Senior Class, who were elected on the basis of their possession of the qualities of Scholarship, Character, Service, and Leadership. Under the direction of its officers and the adviser, Mr. Charles Meyers, the Society pre- sented a three-act comedy, “Broken Dishes,” for the benefit of the Scholarship Fund. The play was coached by Mr. Edmund MacCloskey, and the cast consisted of Winnifred Baker, Sally Andrews, Alma Swift, Paula Whiting, Loring Brace, Edward Yaglou, and James St. Clair, who were members of the Honor So- ciety; and Arthur Shaw, Kenneth Russell, and Robert Schmitt, who were members of the Dramatic Club. Eight members of the Society participat- ed in a national scholarship contest on March sixteenth, thereby ending a most successful season. 57 FIRST ROW : P. Dexter, M. Wallace, S. Andrews, R.

These honorary members are entitled to attend any of the meetings of the Belmont Woman’s Club, which are very inter- esting and varied. This year the organization sponsored the annual all-school exhibition, and also held a very successful tea. Belmont High School was also honored by having eight boys chosen as honorary members of the Belmont Rotary Club last fall. At the first meeting of the club in October, all of the boys and their fathers were present. The boys were asked to attend the regular meetings, and they thoroughly appreciated this opportunity. Each organization offers a scholarship to the school every year. This is just one of the many services that they perform for the com- munity. 58 FIRST ROW: C. Hughes, F. Nugent (Secretary), G.

Although small in membership, it has broad- ened its interests and activities by contact with outside organizations. Under the Club’s sponsorship, a WBZ Junior Town Meeting of the Air program was held in January for the entire student body, with Arl- ington High School jointly participating. This was recorded and broadcast over station WBZ the following Saturday afternoon. A visit was made to a Harvard Law School Forum discussion, and two delegates attended the Massachusetts Civic League Association.

The Club has always taken a prominent part in school activities, holding regular monthly meetings. Belmontian Day is much looked forward to, a day when all the latest styles are on display. The meetings had very interesting pro grams, such as a Home Talent Show and a skit, “The Town That Whispers,” which was dramatized by some of the members. As in the past, it was decided to send a donation to the Seeing-Eye Dog Fund, the Club’s good deed of the year. This year the club achieved its laudable aims with the able leadership of its officers and with the kindly assistance of the advisers. 60 FIRST ROW: J. McKearin, E. Sweeney, B. Nersesian, A.

MILES of happiness prevailed on Sat- urday evening, December twentieth, for Belmont High School was the scene of the traditional formal dance sponsored by the Belmontian Club. Eight o’clock arrived, and then began rhythmic strains of Hal Reeves’ Orchestra, which provided a delightful evening for everyone. The gliding couples whirled about the room that was brightly decorated with Christmas trees and colorful streamers. During this festive occasion, pictures of the couples v ere taken. Twelve o’clock struck; the dance was over; and a wonderful time became a golden memory. In appreciation we want to extend our thanks to Miss Prudence Mathews, who was the adviser for the dance, and Naomi Cox, who acted as general chairman.

J NDER the competent direction of Miss l j Marion Steuerwald and Miss Evelyn Noreen, and the splendid officers, the members of Summa have enjoyed a very suc- cessful year. At the first meeting, the officers were elected. They were installed with a colorful ceremony when the club met next. A Christmas program was especially enjoyed at this meeting, when there were Vestals’ carols and an exchange of gifts. During the year, the club was most fortu- nate to have as speakers Mrs. Kathleen 0. Elliott, whose topic was “Ancient Latin Manu- scripts,” and Dr. Robert M. Green, whose sub- ject was “The Life of Ovid .” Much valuable information was gained from these meetings. A home talent show, a film on ancient Roman times, and a trip to the Boston Museum of Fine Arts were other profitable programs. 62 FIRST ROW: A. Parsons, H. Lowe, J. Hedin, S. Andrews (Secretary), B.

As a result of the cease- less efforts of its officers and the guidance of Miss Rebecca Satterlee, the club was privileged to enjoy many well-known speakers and movies. At the Christmas party many of the members had a chance to try their skill at acting with French dialogue. Their skits were very amusing and entertaining, and hidden talents were discovered. The numerous meetings kept the club very busy and good times were had by all. With this enviable record of accomplish- ment, the French Club looks eagerly “au futur.” 63 FIRST ROW: N. Browning, N.

Ci ircu HE Spanish Club, under the progressive direction of Mr. Joseph Solano, elected its officers for the year at its first meeting. In celebration of Christmas, the club held a Pinata. The members sang Spanish Christmas carols and played several Spanish games. Re- freshments were served that were enjoyed by all. During the year, at a few of the meetings, the club was privileged to see movies about Spain and Spanish America and the sports played in those countries. These movies helped the Spanish students to gain a better under- standing of the people whose language they were studying.

Early in the fall, the school took notice of the initiation of the new members, who were required to wear different colored socks for three days. Non-conformists washed the steps of the school with a tooth- brush. This keen spirit continued throughout the year. Among numerous activities, the Club presented German movies, held a dance in the spring, and finished up the year with a hilari- ous party. Instead of having a Christmas party, the club donated ten dollars to CARE for a package to be sent to Germany. The ef- forts of Miss Louise Dorntee, who served as adviser, were highly appreciated. It is hoped that next year’s club will be as successful Gluck auf ! 65 FIRST ROW; C. Clark, S. Kn owl ton,, J. Bacon, M. Harrington (Secretary), J. Carroll (President). B. Conlon (Vice-President), N.

C, rote C“7 HIS year the Red Cross Club has again J proved itself a worthy organization, and deserves a great deal of credit for its never-ending service. A feeling of satisfaction should be felt by all those who contributed their time giving pleasure to others. The annual Christmas Boxes were sent to the needy children in Europe. These boxes contained warm clothing, toys, and food. Many of the members made gaily decorated favors for Christmas and Easter, which were sent to Veterans’ and chil- dren’s hospitals. Each year the members contribute some projects for their service to the club. New and original ideas brought forth a variety, includ- ing joke books, colored favors, children’s toys picture books, and afgan squares. These gifts were sent to near-by children’s hospitals. 66 FIRST ROW: A. Parsons. P. Ashley, J. Conway, E. Ashe, S. Centauro, E. Frassica, M. Moulton, M. Breen, L. Stevenson, H. Vogel. SECOND ROW : B.

Several members of the club attended meet- ings of the Red Cross Council in Boston each month. New and helpful ideas were gained from these meetings and put to use. These girls had a chance to find out what other Red Cross Clubs were doing all over the country, and learned more about the service done by the Red Cross Workers. Entertaining parties were given on several occasions, and a good time was had by all. Other projects were undertaken throughout the year, making this club one of the busiest and most popular. With the cheerful assis- tance of Miss Grace Richmond and Miss Mir- iam Loring, the officers made this year suc- cessful. 67 FIRST ROW: P. Dexter, R. Hanlon, J. Bacon, E. O’Brien (President), B.

C7 HE Music Club of 1947-1948 proved J enjoyable for all music lovers, whether interested in classical, semi-classical, or popular music. It provided varied and inter esting programs, such as diversified “home’ talent, lectures, and its annual visit to the “Pops”. The Club sponsored a new and dif- ferent Christmas program in cooperation with the Band and Glee Club, with the assistance of the Art and Commercial Departments of the School. Admission was by invitation, and an enthusiastic audience enjoyed an excellent program on December eighteenth. Each meet ing during the year was arranged by a differ- ent committee— -a plan which greatly stim ulated interest in the Club. For a most successful year, all wish to thank Miss Dorothy Anderson, the adviser, and our splendid officers. 08 FIRST ROW; E. O’Neil, A. Harvey, R. Cusolito, R. Denaro (Vice-President). A. Bruno, H.

Larger this year than last, it played at most of our football games, several basketball games, and took an active part in the Armistice Day program. The high spirits and pep of the students were roused by the band’s playing at some of the football rallies. On November twenty-second, the band performed for Boston University. Its mem- bers have received an invitation to return next fall. During the Christmas season, the brass ensemble visited each of the elementary schools, and also serenaded the high school students with carols. The band played an im- portant role in the Memorial Day exercises. Graduation was its last public performance of the year. 69 FIRST ROW: D. Morton, G. West, S. Centauro, M. Leander, B.

The club met twice a week and proved its vocal ability at the Christmas assembly. One of the best liked occasions of the year was a Christmas program sponsored jointly with the Music Club. It was evident that the club members had worked hard to make this celebration a success. Some highlights of the evening were solos by Joan Shurrocks and by Ruth Bolan and selections by the sextette, all accompanied by Carol Bryant at the piano. A climactic finish resulted in a Christmas tab- leau, portraying the birth of Christ. The club has had a prosperous year and is looking forward enthusiastically to another, with many of the present members returning. 70 FIRST ROW: Mr. Brule, F. Ryan, C. Goss, N. Mazzeo, J. Rippe, J.

O j- aintin ACH Wednesday afternoon the Rem- brandts of Belmont High School eagerly entered the art room with brushes, paints, and palettes. There, with the willing help of Mr. Brule, they produced their paint- ings. On favorable days, some went outside where they captured landscapes; others re- mained in the art room, to do still life sub- jects, or paint something original. When the pictures were finished, frames were made and painted for them. At the end of the year, an exhibition of the members’ work was dis- played in the library. To help them in their work, visits to mu- seums were made where the students could study the different techniques of the masters. This was the third year of the Club’s ex- istence. May it flourish as well in the future! 71 ■MM FIRST ROW: J. McKearin, N. Browning, N. Cox, M. Moulton, L. Stacey (President). J. Baldwin (Secretary-Treasurer), J. Rogers (Vice-President), E.

At the first meeting, under the direction of Miss Theresa Smith and Miss Katherine Kearney, the officers for the year were elected. The program committee, whose chairman was Marilyn Moulton, immediately arranged a very interesting and enjoyable schedule for the year. One of the outstanding events that was enjoyed by all the members was a talk by Miss Doris Steele, stewardess of the Northeast Airlines. Miss Steele informed the members of the club about the qualifications and duties of an airline hostess. She gave many interest- ing accounts about her experiences while being an airline hostess. For another of its meetings, the club held a talent program, in which many of the club members displayed their individual talents. 72 FIRST ROW: C. Hughes, H. Vogel, F. MacMillan, M. Moulton, L.

In addition to this, she told about the life of a model. Her talk was of great interest to all the girls. The annual fashion show was sponsored for the third time in as many years. The girls modeled the clothes that they had made during the school year. This affair proved to be an- other of the outstanding programs provided by the club. The Home Economics Club, now in its third year, is one of the most worthwhile and in- structive organizations for girls in Belmont High School. May its prosperity continue for years to come!

Many interesting lectures, movies, pro- jects, and trips were enjoyed by all. Among those were visits to the Harvard Observatory, the M.I.T. Laboratories, and the New Eng- land Science Fair, a speaker on Astronomy from Harvard, and a talk on Snakes by a mem- ber of the club. Helping on the Cancer Drive was the club’s special community project. The photographers of the club were given special attention and soon became experts at develop- ing and printing their own pictures. The last meeting of the year was the cook-out, which was highly successful as usual. We extend a wish for continued prosperity to those who follow in our footsteps. 74 FIRST ROW; P. Dexter, J.

J worms ) ] OW in the seventh year of its existence, l the Bookworms’ Club has grown in both size and popularity. The club was formed to enable its members to purchase the latest books as soon as they were available. There is now a library of over three hundred books, purchased with dues paid by present and former members. Barbara Campbell, last year’s president, established a precedent by presenting to the club a deluxe edition of “The Robe” by Lloyd Douglas. In a recent poll taken by the club, the fol- lowing books were found to be most popular with the student body: “Mrs. Mike”, “Rebec- ca”, “Gone with the Wind”, “Jane Eyre”, and “Green Dolphin Street.” We feel that the club fills a very impor- tant need in the student body: that of sup- plying many entertaining and worthwhile books to its members. 76 FIRST ROW: D.

Clish, the first meeting of the Radio Club was held, and it was decided that the projects for the year would deal chiefly with electronic devices. During the year some of the members of the club became proficient in radio code, while others experi- mented with various kinds of radio apparatus, such as coils, condensers, antennae, tubes, os- cillators, and resistors. A greater part of the year was occupied in such projects as build- ing a signal generator, a Geiger-Muehler counter, and exhibiting ultra violet radiation. Some stress was put on the receiving and sending of code which would help the boys in- terested in becoming “radio hams.” There were no special meetings held by the club, but informal meetings took place at various intervals during the year. 77 FIRST ROW: A.

Anyone could join the club provided he offered some kind ot entertainment for initiation. These initiation programs furnished the material for a good part of the meetings throughout the year. This gave an excellent opportunity to a stu- dent to show dramatic ability, and much of the talent for the yearly productions was found in this way. Accordin g to the custom of having at least one professional program during the year, Mrs. Miriam Cahalan of Arlington presented a splendid program of monologues.

Dke Sc emor O N November twenty-first, the Senior Class presented the sparkling comedy, “Three Live Ghosts.” The setting was in London, England, at the home of Mrs. Gub- bins in the year 1945. Her son, who was reported dead, returned from the war with two strange companions, who were also supposed to be dead. The confusion they caused and the outcome provided a hilarious plot. The performance of the cast was excellent. Claire Hughes played the unforgettable Mrs. Gubbins, and Bob Dresser portrayed her son Jimmie with gusto. Others in the cast were equally fine in their respective roles. The play was produced under the able direc- tion of Mr. Edmund M. MacCloskey. Thanks also go to the different committees who helped to make the play a success. 79 Remember ?

Kevin Davis suffered a knee injury in his first scrimmage, and Mark Gif- ford was troubled with two bad ankles all year, and because of that, never did seem to reach his potential brilliance.

(Country earn urn HE best team I ever coached at B.H.S.,” stated Coach Olson. “With such top running men as Jack Nor- mile, Bob Rogge, and Harry Maclnnes,” he said, “how could we help but win such honors as third place in the divisional meet, and fourth place out of thirty-three teams compet- ing at the State Meet at Franklin Park?” You may be surprised to learn that the team which won the State Championship was none other than Watertown, over whom we had triumphed twice before in dual and quadruple meets. As for the dual meets, B.H.S. really did her best job. Out of six starts, the “Olson- Men” were beaten only twice: by Arlington, 24-33, and by Melrose, 24-35. They also won a quadruple meet by winning over Watertown, Brookline, and New Bedford Vocational. There were only four seniors on this year’s team: Co-Captains Robert Rogge, and Harry Maclnnes, Jack Normile, and Norman Dewar. Therefore, next year’s team should really be a champion because of the large group of return- ing experienced runners. 85 FIRST ROW: R. Celi, W. Caskie. J. Stanley, C. Caruso, V. Wynott (Captain), T.

Not only did our tall, good-looking courtsmen capture the Eastern Massachusetts Tourney crown, but they went on to surpass the Ver- mont Class B Champs and bring back the New England Class B Championship. In the three tourney games, the Wennermen demonstrated their power by steamrolling Middleboro High, St. Patrick’s of Watertown, and B. C. High. During the regular Middlesex League con- ference, B. H. S. competed with the following teams: Reading, Lexington, Melrose, Stone- ham, Concord, Wakefield, and Winchester. They won every game. Out of three non- league games played, Belmont dropped two to superior Waltham and Gov. Dummer, but came back to hand Watertown a setback. Continued on Page 107 86 FIRST ROW: M. Kerr, J. Reynolds, J.

The team; showed real basketball skill when they nosed out a stab- born Winchester team by one point! They also beat Concord by only one point. These close scores indicated that in order for a team to win, it must have teamwork, and under the direction of Coach Alberta Cleary, these girls have developed that teamwork which enables them to come out on top. Tall Jeanne Fisher just seems to reach up with those long arms and grab the ball away from the backboard while the opponent’s for- wards st and around bewildered. “Clown” Helen Vogel can “swish” the ball in the basket from the floor, while Joan Reynolds is a valuable player also. 87 FIRST ROW : A.

The team was especially lucky in having a large number of veterans return from last year’s squad. The entire infield was experi- enced and lined up as follows: catcher, Paul Macdonald; first base, Steve Cucinotta; second base, Don Cass; third base, John Wettlaufer (1947 all-scholastic) ; and shortstop, Ed Conley. In the outfield Bob Martin again roamed the center field “pastures” and even pitched when the occasion arose. “Sonny” Bonanno, Herb Kelly, Joe Lally, “Amby” Redmond, and Mark Gifford took turns in the two remaining out- field posts. “Skippy” Viglirolo and Bert Mul- laney were the veteran pitchers and starred in the “chucking” roles.

OFTBALL, a favorite girls’ sport, opened its season the last of April. Many of last year’s team returned to continue their good record. Janice Bertram came back as pitcher; Jane Brown, catcher; Gilda Toscano, first base; Marlene Maloof and Jean Rippe, second base; Jeanne Fisher, third base; and Joan Reynolds and Claire Ducey, fielders. Few spectators were around to witness these high-spirited games. Mr. Kolouch, how- ever, was a faithful and favorite follower. The season opened May fourth at Winchester. We played at Arlington and Lexington. Malden, Newton, and Concord were our guests. Hing- ham was dropped from this year’s schedule and Newton added, due to the relative distances. The team had a memorable season under the popular coach, Miss Cleary. 80 FIRST ROW : W. Kasper, P. Walsh, C. Atwater, J. Spuria, D. ClafT. SECOND ROW: Mr. W. Cowing, H. Casson, K. Russe ll, L.

Led by Captain Louis DePamphilis, Bill Grennell, Ken Russell, Harold Casson, Joe Spuria, Fred Vona, Peter Walsh, Bill Kasper and others presented fine com- petition. The schedule this spring included Cam bridge Latin, Arlington, Rindge Tech, and Lex- ington. Each team was played twice. Our “home games” were played at the Oakley Country Club. In a golf match, there are two men from each school playing on a team. Two of the B. H. S. high point twosomes were DePamphilis - Spuria and Grennell - Vona. The season of 1948 was very successful and we hope the following years will bring forth equal quality. 90 FIRST ROW : E. Sanford, R. Fahey, M. Dolan, E. McGrail, E. Sullivan, H. Vo-gel, J.

Not to be outdone by baseball and track, many candidates ap- peared for tryouts for the girls’ and boys’ ten- nis teams. Miss Cleary’s girls’ team was very fortunate in having all but one of the players from last season return. All of the players being ex- perienced, the team really went to town. The Misses Sullivan, McGrail, Kerr, Frisbee, Dolan, McKearin, and others did a grand job. “Pop” Nagle’s boys’ team showed its usual vim, vigor, and vitality, led by Captain Stephen Schatzki. The boys were not so fortunate in having all of last year’s team back, but with the Captain, Casson, Fahey, and others, they had a top season. The schedule for both teams included Win- chester, Concord, Malden, Arlington, Lexing- ton, and Newton. 91 FIRST ROW: H. Vogel, T. Mazzei, G. Toscano (Captain), J. Bertam, G. West, M.

The score was 1-0, the beginning of the “jinx,” which h eld through our encounters with Arlington, Lexington, Brookline, and Winchester. We beat our last opponent, Malden, 1-0, and thus made a noble conclusion for a hard season, dis- playing the best of sportsmanship and team spirit. Miss Cleary and Belmont High have good reason to be proud of the 1947 field hockey squad. At the Boston Field Hockey Association’s meet, Captain Gilda Toscano and Gloria West were chosen all-scholastic. Gilda was center, not only in position but literally the center of the team. She was ably backed by Jeanne Fisher and Mary King, halfbacks, and Gloria West, fullback. Glen MacKenzie and Janice Bertram were two bright stars on the hockey field who will shine on next year’s team. We’ll see all you senior and first team players at the Boosters’ Club Banquet. Which will it be, sweaters or jackets to wear under your letters? 92 FIRST ROW: R. Hanson, P. Kelly, R. MacKenzie, R. Butt, J. Viglirolov R. Young (Captain), R. Sylvia. SECOND ROW : Mr. Bennett, J.

MlocLeu % earn O UR loyal pucksters started off a roaring- season with a slight fizzle, by bowing to Stoneham and by tying Melrose. These setbacks urged the boys on, and in the next two games they walloped Newton and Rindge Tech by lop-sided scores. Arlington High, the G. B. I. Champs this year, were shut out by the B.H.S. icemen in their first encounter. They roared ahead again, drubbing Cambridge Latin on the following Saturday. The last league game was lost to Medford by a last-minute score. Next on the agenda were the play-offs. At first the going was a little rough for the “Ben- nettmen”, being beaten by rugged Arlington. In the next round, however, the boys were ready for Stoneham, and gave them quite a pounding. In the last play-off, Medford emerged victorious. (Continued on Page 117) 93 FIRST ROW: A. Bonanno, J.

Tom Cain and “Arky” Cummings were the Co-Captains and stand-outs. Bob Cashin, Steve Casey, Eddie O’Brien, and Ronnie Butt were the senior main stays of the team. Some highlights of the season were a double win over our arch-rival, Watertown, and a 4-2 win over the M.I.T. Freshmen. Bel- mont outplayed the bigger and more exper- ienced team throughout the game. As there will be a talented host of first- stringers back next year, the team should be terrific.

He was fortunate in having many veterans from last year return, who formed the backbone of the team. The boys were successful in their first meet by coming in a close second to a strong Watertown team. Those outstanding in their respective fields were as follows: Bill Caskie and Tom Arena, broad jump; Ed Boyle, 220 and 440-yard dash; Pete Prendergast, mile run; “Burgie” Powell and Wally Flewelling, 880-yard dash; Cliff Swenson, short-put; Jack Jannoni, 220-yard dash; Vern Wynott, 100-yard dash; Tom Cain, high jump; and Caskie, Boyle, Jannoni, and Wynott 440-yard relay team. Bob Russell also should be given credit for the fine way in which he managed the team. 95 ■ G V jJWQM 1 B r ft J rrTffrrnm A CONVENIENT BRANCH OF THE WORLD’S LARGEST SPECIALTY STORE In the Long Run You and your friends will prize the portrait that looks like you — your truest self, free from stage effects and little conceits.

A promising crop from last year’s .jayvees and sophomores will bolster the ranks of these veterans.

Coach Bennett’s hockey team got off to an excellent start this season, due in no small part to help from the Junior boys. Goalie Paul Kelley turned in many fine games, with four shutouts to his credit, while “Skip- py” Viglirolo, Ronnie Butt, Owen Cote, and Bill Marsh did a lot of scoring; and “Sam” Sylvia and “All Star” Gurun did very well at defense. Bel- mont’s final standing was a second place tie with Medord. Coach Wenner turned out a superior basketball team this year, with help from “Sonny” Bonanno, Eddie Boyle and “Hank” Ferracane. Our boys won the championship of the Middlesex League and finally hit the jackpot in the Tech Tourney - Eleanor McGrail, Edith Sullivan, Marlene Maloof, Margaret O’Hara, Janice Bertram, and Joan DuPont performed well in Coach Cleary’s highly successful basketball team. Many familiar faces such as Bob McLellan, Jack Jannoni, Ronnie Butt, Jim McBride and Bob Willander were seen running and jumping around the track during the spring. Skippy Viglirolo returned to the mound this spring. Helped along by “Tony” Bonanno, Owen Cote, Roy Carlson, and “Peck” King, the team really went places! Outstanding racquet-swingers, Eddie Boyle, Alan Casson and Edith Sullivan were stalwarts of Mr. Nagle’s and Miss Cleary’s tennis teams. Although we have a class filled with athletes, sports are not the only major accomplishment of the Juniors. Teachers say the ’49’ers are very intelligent. Martha Hazen, Don ald Williams, Eddie Boyle, Paul McElroy, and Teddie Robbins seem to head the class in the mastering of languages. Bob Fahey, Francis Nugent and Ann Swenson are superb English schol- ars; Bob Edmands, Martha Hazen, Donald Williams, and Bob Fahey are experts with the protractor and compass, while Paul McElroy, Ralph Hinckley, Owen Cote, and Teddie Robbins are standouts in the sciences. There are many specially talented people in our class. Bob King, Clista Dow, and Jean Morris are fine artists. Mary Mannix is an accom- plished piano player, while Joan Shurrocks has a fine soprano voice. Dick Marciano’s Spike Jones impersonations are novel ! In October the class officers were elected: Russ MacLeod, president; Bob Fahey, vice-president; Nancy Richard, secretary; and Bob King, treasurer. Aided by their able class adviser, Mr. B. Carson French, they carried out their customary responsibilities and did a tremendous job, with the help of the committee, on the Junior-Senior Prom. They also enabled the ’49’ers to get their class rings in their Junior year, a new and satisfactory method. We should like to wish the Seniors of this year good luck. It will be a tough job, but we know we can fill their shoes, and next year we’ll work hard and play hard for old B.H.S. ! Good luck again, and good-bye. Ill E, R. Millen Co.

Belmont was well represented when the G.B.I. All-Star squad met the Canadian team. Paul Kelley, one of the best netminders; Dick Sylvia, outstanding defenseman; Ronny Butt, an expert stick handler; and Skippy Viglirolo, the team sparkplug, ail made the first team. Bob Mac- Kenzie and Dick Young rounded out a well-balanced second team. When asked to give his opinion on what next year’s team might be like, Coach Frank Bennett said, “If we can only get an outside rink for the boys to practise on, then I’m sure we’ll have a championship team; only three boys will be missing from this year’s team. Having to practise at 4 o’clock in the morning really takes something out of the squad.” BAXTER ' S MARKET QUALITY MEATS AND FRESH FRUIT Choice Fruits, Vegetables and Groceries 239 BELMONT ST. Tel.
