Belmont, Massachusetts 1 riS- 1 MR. GEORGE HIGGINBOTTOM Principals tl c W HE success which characterizes your present achievement will be enjoyed by thousands of other young people throughout th e coun- — S try. Graduation has been the result of a gradual learning process, the assimilation of information which is to provide a rich background for worthy citizenship. It is the realization of a cherished and much desired goal. It now signifies the branching out into many diversified fields of endeavor. Throughout your school career, you have become acquainted with those principles of thought and action which uniquely characterize Amer- ican democracy. These principles have been responsible for the progress which our country has achieved. You must be ever conscious of the ben- efits which you derive from your citizenship: the security of your life, the security of your home, the four freedoms — these, and many more, are benefits which are yours because of a good government. It is, therefore, not only your responsibility but your duty to make decisions based upon the adherence to the principles which have made the framework and functioning of our government impervious to all undesirable elements. 6 SENIOR CLASS OFFICERS Secretary, Sally McGonagle; Treasurer, Robert King; Vice-President, Jack Jannoni ; President, Owen Cote.

With this idea in mind, a dance, which netted over one hundred dollars for the fund, was held in October. Scholastically, the class is most successful: Sona Haidostian; Barbara Johnson, a new girl whom we welcomed at B.H.S. this year; Charles Parsons, who won a medal for excellence in the nation-wide competitive Latin examination of the A.P.S.L. ; and James Hekimian are a few of the outstanding students of the Junior Class.

From reports, Bob Atwater has a bright future ahead, along with many other hoop-crazy kids. Miss Cleary’s teams of both basketball and field hockey boasted many stars of which we may be proud. Hockey came next with Bob Busa, Don MacKen- zie, Bunny Keefe, and Bob LeBlanc leading the sophomore lineup. (Continued on Page 107) 48 1. Whatcha looking at ? 2. “Penny, please!” 3. Oops! 4.

This year, some of the entertainers were Norman Coates Webster, a story teller; Garnet Hazard, an artist; George Gorman, a humorist and authority on dialects; and Dick and Betty Wels- bacher, experts on American folklore. Each year, members of the Student Council sell programs at the football games. Also, they help worthy causes by collecting money in the home- rooms for different associations such as the Salva- tion Army and the Community Fund. When plays and school dances are held, the Student Council members do their share by selling tickets in their homerooms.

For the first few months of the school year, the Society consisted of seventeen members who were chosen last June. Then in November, twenty-seven new members were initiated into the group. The Society presented a three-act mystery, entitled “The Cat and the Canary’’ coached by Mr. Edmund MacCloskey, the proceeds of which were contributed to the Scholarship Fund. Mem- bers of the cast included Sally McGonagle, Martha Hazen, Ann Gushee, Shirley Melvin, Bob Schmitt, Larry Hayes, Ralph Hinckley, Ted Robbins, Bob Edmands, and Russ MacLeod.

The Woman’s Club, in past years, has shown its interest in Belmont High by supporting various school functions, and by award- ing two scholarships to qualified graduates. It is indeed an honor to be represented in such a worthy, local group. “Service above Self’’ is the high-minded motto of Rotary International. By means of the Junior Ro- tarian movement, the organization attempts to in- still this ideal, and similar ones, in the minds of young people. Therefore, out of the student body eight senior boys are chosen each year to represent the school at Rotary meetings, where they observe the qualities which insure success. 56 FIRST ROW: D.

Its monthly meetings presented such out- standing speakers as a delegate from the United Nations Conference who reviewed the economic situation in Europe, and Commissioner Mahoney of the Fair Employment Practice Commission, who discussed problems of discrimination in Massachu- setts. In December, we were privileged to join with Newton in presenting a demonstration Town Meeting program for the New England Association of Social Studies Teachers. Once again the Club was happy to meet with the Periclean Forum at Arlington High School to enjoy an interesting Town Meeting and a social get-together. To develop a program for television presented the greatest challenge of the year. 57 FIRST ROW: D. Livingston, E. Whittemore, B. J. Elliott (Treasurer), S. Robart (Secretary), S.

It is a club which stresses high standards and helpful social activities. Among the many events of the year was the Winter Formal, held on December eighteenth in the cafeteria. The gay holiday air and the cheer- fulness of those who attended made the evening a huge success. The Club met monthly and had various types of entertainment at each meeting. The members enjoyed a moving picture, several interesting talks, and a home talent program. With the help of the advisers, Miss Calderara, Miss Blennerhassett, Miss Kearney, Mrs. Howarth, and Miss Magee, the officers and the two hundred and forty-three members, the Belmontian Club de- rived pleasure from a most successful year. 58 FIRST ROW : R.

In late December, the club celebrated the Saturnalia, the Rom an equivalent of Christmas, marked by exchange of gifts and by Latin games like those of old Rome. Throughout the year the members were entertained by a diversity of speakers ; Mr. Joseph Solano spoke on Medieval Latin and the Romance Languages; Miss Barbara Wriston of the Boston Museum of Fine Arts gave an illustrated lecture on Greek Athletics, and Dr. Robert M. Green of Harvard spoke on Plautus, Terence, and the Latin drama. On other occasions, members gave informal musical, literary, and dramatic programs which served to give a more thorough knowledge of the Latin past and its great- ness. 59 FIRST ROW: R. Duquette, A.

A carefully planned schedule included a talk by M. de Montalembert, the French Vice-Consul in Boston, a colorful Christ- mas party with a charming French girl-an agregee- who contrasted French and American Christmas customs, a program dedicated to the appreciation of French Music, a movie concerning France, and a very interesting display of French paintings pre- sented with the aid of the Art Department. The purpose of the French Club is to offer its members the opportunity to become better ac- quainted with France, its people, its culture, and its history. The meetings are conducted in French, and all talks are given in French by the people who come to speak to the club. 60 FIRST ROW: J. Frisbee, J. Currier, J. Green, R. Carlson (Treasurer), R.

Th e v— year was started off in superb fashion by Senor Claude Riche, President of El Club Hispanico of Harvard. Mr. Riche spoke in the Spanish lan- guage on “Why Spanish Is Interesting. At the next meeting of the club an excellent movie called “Tierra Mejicana” was shown. As a result, club mem- bers learned a great deal about Mexico and Mexican customs. The biggest thrill came at the Christmas party, when the versatile Dick, “Spike Jones”, Marciano performed on the same bill with that famed radio team, Hum and Strum. These three headliners, plus the food, helped to make the Christmas party the best one in years.

I LTHOUGH the Dachshunde Club is the smallest club in the school, it is a lively w club and each fall one becomes aware of its existence by its weird initiation stunts. This year saw a revival of interest in the Christmas season; for the first time since the World War there was a Christbaum — the tree without which no Ger- man Christmas is complete. At the meeting, gifts were exchanged, and several German Christmas carols were sung. In fact, singing is an important phase of German life. Thus we are glad to an- nounce that future meetings are to be enlivened by the famous Schnitzelbank song, thanks to Mr. Bet- tencourt’s contribution of a poster to guide us through the intricacies of the ever popular ditty. We sign our report with a Gluckauf — “Good Luck” to the class of 1949. 62 FIRST ROW: N. Richards, A. Connor, V. Weeden, S. Boyle (Treasurer), B. J. Elliott (Secretary), M. Maloof (Vice-President), C.

Then in rapid succession came the Red Cross Drive, where daily progress was indicated on the big red cross in the cafeteria; the filling of Christmas boxes for children over-seas ; the making of holiday favors, afghans, scrap books, menu covers, and cookies for veterans’ hospitals; and the designing and making of oilcloth toys for children’s hospitals. Perhaps the most worthwhile of all our projects this year was the organization of a first aid class, taught by Mrs. Butler. The forty girls who enrolled in this course are especially well fitted now to fulfill our club motto, “ We serve.” 63 GntlABeDirtN FIRST ROW: S. Robart, C. Imler (Secretary-Treasurer J.

Miss Dunn spoke to the girls on “Manners and Dress in Business,” a subject which all found quite informative. At later meet- ings Miss Sadon, Chief Hostess of Eastern Airlines, and Mrs. Albert of the Academie Moderne were presented to the members. The annual Home Talent Program, Fashion Show, and a roller-skating party were included in the Club’s activities.

With many other bands of the Greater Boston area, they played at a Boston University football game at Fenway Park. This year the drum majorettes were rewarded with new, smart uniforms which they themselves made. The rest of the band received citation cards and bars, indicative of the number of years which each member had served in the band, and Belmont High School Band insignia for the shoulder of the uniform. These symbols were designed by Carol Bryant. By enlivening student functions through- out the year, the Band showed itself to be a vital part of school activities. 65 FIRST ROW: B. Koch, J.

The enrollment well exceeded the two hundred and fifty mark, a large percentage of which were male participants. During the year, the club added spirit to many assemblies. Some of the programs included an operetta and a music- week-evening. The Glee Club had what might be termed a well balanced musical diet. The members studied everything from Bach to Waring. With many of the members returning next year, we are sure that the club will be every bit as successful as this year’s was. 66 FIRST ROW: A. Connor, M. Curtis, J. Boyer, H. Morton (President), A.

Under the direction of Miss Dorothy Anderson and the officers, many fascinating programs were arranged. This year much stress was laid on “home talent’’, and many exceptional shows were presented. Among the most interesting of these was the one at Christmas time in which many of our students dis- played their fine musical abilities. Other programs consisted of various lectures, instrumental demon- strations, and a film concerning a music camp. In the spring, the Club wound up the year with its an- nual visit to the “Pops” concert. 67 FIRST ROW: B. Dow, C. Dow, D. Barron (President), B. Crowley (Secretary-treasurer), J. Gara- bedian, J.

Work was divided into groups: the making of posters for various organizations in the school and community, and the acquiring of new skills in various media. Those snappy posters for the Hobby Show, Senior Play, and the P. T. A. Council Series that you saw about the corridors were made by our aspiring artists. Another project undertaken by the club was an exhibit in the Hobby Show. With work contributed by the members, the officers were able to arrange an attractive display. The Art Club has made a good start; let’s keep up the excellent work. 68 FIRST ROW: P. Coyne, S. L. Whelan, R. Donnelly (Treasurer) J. Kennedy (Secretary), R.

Of special interest were the trips to the B. B. Chemical Com- pany, the Dewey Almy Company, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, the Coca-Cola Plant, and the Hood Rubber Company. For recreation, the club held its annual hot dog roast in New Hamp- shire. At club meetings, Mr. Clish, the adviser, gave practical lectures on the fundamentals of photog- raphy, which served both to increase the interest of those already acquainted with the field, and to introduce others to it. Throughout its career, the club has tried to give its members a clear view of science so that it will be a reality to them rather than something incomprehensible. 69 FIRST ROW; N. DiLuna, B.

This popular monthly, the Belmont High newspaper, sold thousands of copies this year, and was brought back once more onto an even financial keel. This was due, in part at least, to able business manage- ment, and of course to the many fine columns. Jinx Wonders, the sports page, Profiles, and several other regular features, along with fine news cover- age, all helped to make it a successful and profitable year for the Publication Club. 70 FIRST ROW: B.

DL Liu worms r l HE best in current literature is what the Bookworms’ Club has to offer its members. y In 1940, when the club was first organized, there were only ten members, but during the past nine years, the growth of its membership and library has been an outstanding example of the students’ interest in the organization. This year we had approximately one hundred members and added many new and interesting books to our library; “Remembrance Rock”, “Woman with a Sword”, “No Bugles Tonight”, “The Red Chair Waits , and “The Big Fisherman” are among the most popular. For the second year, “Mrs. Mike” was ch osen by the student body as their favorite book, followed by “The Robe”, and “The Babe Ruth Story.” Each student enrolled in our club has an oppor- tunity to develop a love for good literature. 1 FIRST ROW ; C.

Starting with a nucleus of about ten members who planned the first meeting, the club enlarged slowly as more people qualified. Only those students who presented a satisfactory entertainment and were passed by Mr. “Mac” and the committee could be- come members. This kept the club small, and the inembership was only talented members who were interested and willing to work. There were many programs presented by this club which has now taken its place among the best clubs of our school. May it continue to supply to the school productions, students with dramatic ability and interest. 72 D. Williams, A. Gushee, J. McBride, S. Melvin, J. Beattie, R. Kelleher, R. Schmitt, E. Muller, E.

Jim Beattie, as the unwitting soldier, was as suave as Ed Rice, the cast-off suitor, was amusing. The little sister, Edith Muller, was particularly painful. Bob Schmitt and Regina Kel- leher were very good as the helpless but hopeful parents. Directed by Mr. MacCloskey, the whole production evinced much hard work on the part of the director, actors and actresses, and the many committees which aided in the producing of the play. It certainly was the best Senior Play we’ve seen for many years. Sincerely, An Admiring Audience. 73 FIRST ROW; K. Reagan, J. Frisbee, E. Coyne (Vice-President), R. Stevens (President) D.

M OR the first time in many years, Belmont High School formed a Ski Club. It was the brain child of Penny Coyne and Anne Fey- ling, and soon had a long list of interested students. Mr. Lloyd Smith agreed to take over the advisory position and, with a membership of about fifty, the new club was launched. Varied entertainment was arranged by the ever-diligent Program Committee. Twice the club members profited from lectures on youth hostels, ski equipment, and skiing facilities. During the winter, movies were shown on the Bos- ton Ski Train, Skiing in the Alps, a Sun Valley Ski Chase, and Ski Instruction. On March 5, thirty-six members of the club traveled by bus to Temple Mountain, New Hamp- shire, where even the non-skiers enjoyed them- selves. This brought the activities of the Ski Club to a close with a flourish. 74 FIRST ROW : R Stennes, C. Pappas, J. Gurun, R. MacLeod, W. Marsh, R. MacArthur. SECOND ROW : W. Dayton, J. O’Donovan, G.

Coach Lis- abeth did an excellent job with the inexperienced squad. The new assistant coach, Mr. MacBain, comes to Belmont from his coaching position at Hanover, Massachusetts. The record of one victory, four ties, and three losses compiled by this year’s eleven, certainly is not truly indicative of the team’s ability. Yes, with a few smiles from Dame Fortune, the team could undoubtedly have gone undefeated. Injuries to “Butch” Corcoran, “Gordie” Fitch, and “Franny” Coyle before the season’s schedule opened, and later to Jack O’Donovan in the Framingham game, hurt the team.

The squad was heavily handicapped by only two weeks’ training, and therefore, failed to place enough runners to win the dual meets. They placed sixth and ninth in the Pilgrim division and Middlesex League races respectively. However, at the time of the state meet in November, the boys were in top condition and came away with the fourth place honors out of a field of twenty teams in the class B race. Captain Ralph Stevens was outstanding, win- ning the Haverhill meet and carrying top team honors in five others. Hubert Maguire was an- other top man, crossing the finish line ahead of Stevens in the Arlington and Divisional Meets. Fol- lowing closely on their heels were Howie Scribner, John Harman, Bob Mungovan, Gerry Brace, Joe Faulkner, Henry Kerr, Sterling Hardy, Jim Lea- mon, and Dave Martin. 77 FIRST ROW : W. Wagner, J.

Their en- viable record was five victories, four losses, and two ties. The boys’ team unfortunately lost two varsity fullbacks, John Shaughnessy and Jimmy McBride, all season. In the second game, Bobby McLellan mangled his knee, and was out for the season. Nevertheless, with three substitutions, the boys still won more than half their games. The Booters were excellent in their defensive work, holding the opposition to a 1.2 goals-per-game average. Meanwhile, Bill Kasper, Captain “Sonny” Bonanno, Dick Marciano, and “Buddy” Gerace were busy getting goals for our side. Other seniors who helped the team’s success were Dave Ripley, Henry McKenna, Ralph Bates, Bob King, and A1 Blankenship. 78 FIRST ROW: D. Johnson, J. Rippe, J. Bertram (Captain), L. Kirlin, J.

In the forward line of stars were Janice Bertram, Eleanor Quinn, Joan Engewald, Claire Ducey, Gwen Struik, and Joan Marean. Excellent backing was provided by Louisa Kirlin, Judy Green, Doris Johnson, and Jean Rippe, while Glenn Mac- Kenzie and Kathleen Flannery were the two reliable fullbacks. Margaret Morrison was the competent goalie. Four home games were played with Brook- line, Concord, Newton and Medford. The girls had particular satisfaction in defeating Newton, as this team is always a formidable rival. In this clash, Janice Bertram and Eleanor Quinn scored the two goals. Four games were played away: Lexington, Winchester, Malden, and Arlington. Here’s hoping Miss Cleary has another undefeated team next year ! 79 FIRST ROW: T. Lallier, R. Marciano, R. Watson, A.

The great work that these girls have dis- played proves that Coach Alberta Cleary knows how to make superior teams. The players on the team comprised Edith Sul- livan, Jane Frisbee, Janice Bertram, Cathy Kerr, Jane Brown, and Alice McGrath.

With a few breaks either way, the squad would have gone “all the way.” The shining light was James “Skippy” Viglirolo, who won the leading scorer crown. The diminutive co-captain put a fitting climax to his three year high school career New Year’s Day, when he racked up a total of eight points against Rindge Tech.

The team developed slowly in the spring because of bad weather and the inexperience of its members. However, it was a powerful group when the day of the first meet arrived.

The girls, sparked by the outstanding play of Edith Sullivan, Eleanor McGrail, and Jane Frisbee. once again emerged without a loss.

The opening game at Weymouth and the farewell game against Water- town stand out as the best games of the year. The team lost a heart- breaker to Weymouth, a Class A power, 7-0, but defeated Watertown 27-6. Captain -Jack Jannoni, with his excellent play, was an inspiring leader. Eddie Boyle scored five times, Fred Bellissimo twice, and Skippy Viglirolo and Jack Jannoni each once during the season, to ac- count for Belmont ' s nine touchdowns. In the forward wall, Russ Mac- Leod, John Gurun, and Bill Marsh were outstanding all year. On the 25th of November, a fighting, underdog Belmont High Eleven met its traditional Thanksgiving Day rivals from Watertown and emerged victorious by a score of 27-6 in the best game of the year. Fred Bellissimo opened the scoring for Belmont by plunging over from the five, midway through the second period. A Watson to Beilis pass was good for the extra point, and Belmont led 7-0 at half time. In the third quarter, Captain Jack Jannoni scored from five yards out, but Watertown came fighting back to score, and it was 13-6, going into the fourth quarter. Our boys then poured it on, and scored two touch- downs, the first on a quarterback sneak by Skippy Viglirolo, and the sec- ond on an intercepted pass by Fred Bellissimo. Belmont’s last two points came on a Watertown safety made through Billy Marsh’s effort. The team finally played up to its true ability. In fact, it is very hard to single out the outstanding players. Captain Jack Jannoni re- ceived the McHugh Trophy as the outstanding Belmont player in the game. To sum it all up, it was a fighting climax to a hard, fast football season. At the annual banquet, Wicky Walsh and Charley Pappas were elect- ed co-captains of next year’s Eleven. We wish them, Coach Lisabeth, and the team the best of luck in the coming season, and may it be a success- ful one in every way.

Melrose finished in the second position, and Lexington and Win- chester trailed in that order. The Governor Dummer game was the most exciting game of the season. Last year’s championship team lost a thriller to the Dummers 60-56, and our quintet was out to avenge the loss. Belmont led 25-24 at half time, and the game was even, as the buzzer signaled the start of the fourth period. Governor Dummer held a lead of 40-39 with 10 seconds left to play, when Captain Sonny Bonanno sank a free throw, forcing the game into overtime. Belmont took the lead on two quick baskets by Eddie Boyle, but with 10 seconds remaining. Captain Deering of Governor Dummer scored from half-court, deadlocking the game 44-44. At approximately the two minute mark of the sudden death period, Eddie Boyle scored, and Belmont won 46-44. The Tech Tourney took place on the 10th, 11th and 12th of March. The team defeated Christopher Columbus 50-26 in the first round, and St. Patricks of Watertown 41-32 in the semi-finals. However, Belmont met its match in the finals, succumbing to a good Milton team 31-26. Milton led all the way and was out in front at half time 14-11. The season was a great one regardless of the last game. Our grand coach, Mr. Wenner, did a great job in developing this year’s inexperienced team, which compiled a record unprecedented in the history of the school. Captain Sonny Bonanno, plaving with bad ankles all season, was a great leader. Dickie Watson, Red MeBride, Jack Dunbar. Eddie Boyle. Dick Marciano, and Ted Lallier formed the back bone of this year’s sound. Son- ny Bonanno and Eddie Bovle were first team choices on the Middlesex League All-Star team, and Jack Dunbar was a second team choice. Dickie Watson was elected captain for next season.

Another boy who stood out all season and who rose to still greater heights in the All-Star games was “Red” Marsh. Jack Jannoni, the other member of the first line, placed on the All-Star second team. Jack was Johnny-on-the-spot all year long with his timely scoring. Jack McDougall, Lou Doyle, and John Gurun alternated at right defense. The second line, composed of Owen Cote, Bobby Hanson, Wickie Walsh, and Bill Kasper, scored two goals all season. One was the first goal of the year, and the other was the second-to-last goal of the season. Both were tallied against Medford. The two outstanding games of the season were played against Arling- ton. The first meeting was a 3-3 tie, and Arlington held a 3-2 edge in the second game. These games displayed some of the fastest hockey in th-- League. The two teams were so evenly matched that the games could have gone either way.

Capped with a glorious victory, the football season climbed the lad- der of success with the able assistance of several junior players. Under skillful guidance from Coaches Lisabeth and MacBain, Charlie Pappas and Harold Beilis helped withstand the onslaught on the line. Dick Wat- son, Wicky W alsh, Gordon Fitch, and Ralph Pecora were outstanding in backing up their teammates. At the annual football banquet, Pappas and Walsh, both deserving of the honor, were elected co-captains of next year’s team. Also bitten by the sports bug were Alphie Marsh and Charlie Crisafulli. These boys, who are next year’s co-captains, did a splendid job on the soccer field, with Buddie Gerace, Johnny Caruso and Bob MacMillan at their sides. Coach Wenner’s boys’ basketball team is one of the most respected in the state. From the Junior Class, champs like Dick Watson and Wal- ter Nelson were chosen to play on the varsity squad to help keep up that reputation. We of ’50 look forward to next year’s team with Dick as captain. Glistening skates, whizzing puck, and fast moving Belmont players often decorated the Arena during the hockey season. 1950 donated Wicky Walsh, Franny Coyle, and Gordon Gilson to this top team. The Junior Class is proud to have athletes such as these and also such as those who participated in our baseball and track teams in the spring. Last, but not at all least, we pay tribute to the juniors of Mr. Nagle’s tennis team. So far, the Class of 1950 has had its share of tragedy and enioyment. Let us hope that, with good luck and hard work, the year will bring many honors to the members of our class. AUTHORIZED REFRIGERATION SERVICE WM. B.

The sophomores held their first class meeting in February and at that time Mr. Clish was introduced as our Class Adviser. Primary and very close final elections soon followed. Emmett Atwater, Henry Halligan, Joyce Bok, and Mary Blackham; president, vice-president, secretary, and treasurer respectively, are awaiting their opportunity to serve.
