Belmont High School - Blueprint Yearbook (Belmont, MA)

Text from Pages 1 - 160 of the 1970 volume:

BELMONT SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL BELMONT, MASSACHUSETTS The old structure still stands with experience and age, through trying times its corridors have bellowed agony, and its cafeteria has swelled up with ecstacy. How diversified Belmont High has been. What we would now call the present — it has taken on new leadership, with regard to a principal; it has taken on student government, no more codes for students’ clothes; and it will take on a new form, but the Old will not die. Within less than a year, the darkening red bricks will collect their ivy, and the old Orchard Street school will be long-forgotten. Old must give way to Young, but what is new today — is old tomorrow. The fire it survived or the double sessions begun in March, will all become ancient history in the annals of the town of Belmont. The final construction of a new Belmont High, will succeed in preparing its youth for the future — this once accepted as current events, will soon sit side by side with countless items of old news. The New will include a campus-big and beautiful; who could ever have dreamed of such a reality! Yet the dream will soon be fulfilled. But before it is, we, some of the members of the Old — the class of ’70 — wish you — the long line of classes who will be entering the New — a sincere hope, that the New will serve you — as the Old has served us. Howard Goldstein 2 The Old 3 Administration Mr. Robert J. O’Donnell Principal Mr. George W. Stone Assistant Principal The three members of the administrative staff are men often left unrecognized by students. They are the ones who deftly handle the intricate and time-consuming details related to organizing the func- tions of the administration. Mr. O’Donnell, in his second year of office, has been developing effective curricular plans for the new high school. He has listened with genuine interest to the wishes of student groups and has at- tempted to implement those requests which were practical and desir- able. Devoting their time to the regulations and the code of the high school, Mr. Stone and Mr. Sullivan have been capable assistants to the principal. Mr. Corrigan, as director of the vocational-technical portion of the school, has co-ordinated curricula to teach young men the vocational skills necessary for a technical career. Each man has successfully fulfilled his duty to enhance the bene- fits that students may receive from a public education. They are responsible for earning Belmont High School the fine reputation that it has. Mr. John J. Corrigan Part-time Director of Vocational-Technical High School; Metal Fabrication; Key Club Mr. Robert D. Sullivan Administrative Aide 4 Miss Dorothy M. Anderson Dean of Girls; Acting Head Counselor Mr. William J. Brogna Guidance Counselor The Guidance Office was a busy place! One by one we made appointments and often waited to discuss program changes, electives for the next year, SAT’s, ACH ' s, college selection, career plans, part-time em- ployment, and a myriad of other details. Some of us enjoyed taking the Kuder and other interest and apti- tude tests. Once in a while we just needed to talk things over; sometimes for encouragement and direction, and other times just to sit down with an interested listener who would let us think out loud about our personal prob- lems. Now we are leaving for higher schools and colleges, employment, and life. We thank the counselors for their guidance along our way.

Why can’t I take Spanish instead of English? . . . Why do our books always omit the best Shakespearean pas- sages? . . . What vocabulary lesson are we having to- day? ... You children do not even know how to write a paragraph! ... So that’s why Hester Prynne had an “A” on her dress! . . . doesn’t parallelism have some connection with Geometry? . . . finish the books and write your theme . . . similes, metaphors, personifica- tion — after reading that poem I feel completely allit- erated . . . Moby Dick is alive and well in Belmont . . . don’t say it, write it! ... Why can’t we have a course called Conversational English? J i Miss Jenette Rigaud English; Shakespeare Club Miss Mary G.

French writers are the greatest, but we would get to know them a lot better if they didn’t cut out all those good parts. Guten Tag und Willkommen for your next 3 years of Deutsch mit Herrn Penta. In diese drei years, you run into interesting dialogues of Fritz mit his “Wie geht’s” und “danke” ’s; die deutsche Bible, Cochran — chapter 1 1 ; Schiller’s ballads oder Sachsse’s senility — Gott in Himmel!!— You might not find a gute recipe for Sauerkraut mit Herrn Penta, aber it would be safe zu sagen, you learn your Deutsch. Miss Patricia Keating Latin; Latin Club; Sophomore Class Ad- visor Mrs. Jeralyn Epstein French; Senior French Club; Junior Class Advisor 12 Mr. Arthur J. Martellucci Spanish; Spanish Club Miss Eve Chambers Spanish Attention! Latin is alive and doing quite well at Belmont High. Even Caesar’s advanced military tactics are fun and easy to understand when demonstrated by Miss Keating. There is a lot to be learned from Cice- ro’s defense and prosecuting tactics, “but I shall pass over these things.” And if one reaches the poetry of Horace, he discovers that much of what Horace wrote is applicable even today. Students are first introduced to Spanish through conversational drills. As the class advances, the trans- lating of select passages and the writing of simple compositions is gradually incorporated into the curricu- lum. At the same time, the classes are exposed to an explanation of Spanish speaking people and their ways of life. Italian Class is not only a period devoted to the development of fundamental skills and grammar, but also to the candid review of Italian ways of life. Through dialogues and letters, students strengthen vocabulary and pronunciation and at the same time, learn to differentiate Italian forms of emotion through figures of speech.

And if you’re one of those scientific atheists who doesn’t believe in atoms, you’ve really got a problem . . . “But Mr. Cowing, I tried to keep the sulfur under the hood!” . . . “How’s 99.999% error? . . . Let’s see, if the answer should be 37 ions, then if I fix this mass . . . “What’s STP got to do with chemistry?” If you don’t think chemistry is useful, well . . . what would blondes do without H 2 0 2 ?

Hey, “Ma”, did you know that you equal “F” . . . It’s freezing in here . . . Girls take physics? ... Is it 6 strawberries per basket or 6 meters per second? . . . Bring in your post- ers! (do they have to pass the censors?) . . . What do you mean there’s no centrifugal force?! . . . Who knows what happened in this experiment? . . . Now, if I take the angle of reflection in the convex parabolic mirror . . . Why did I take physics?? Problem: What is there besides the classroom of lec- tures, descriptions, movies, slides, and discussion? Materials: The scientific method in approaching a problem. Hypothesis: The laboratory, where the pleasant undertaking of dissecting frogs, synthesizing substances, and alloying amino acids occurs amidst the omniscient and omnipotent smell of fermaldehyde. Observations: Such familiar sights as the model of DNA (deoxyribose nucleic acid), the 30 live lizards, the 27 croaked crickets or even Mr. Howick’s pet tarantula. Data: Mr. Holbrook’s taxing talks timed to taxon- omy and genetics are of utter importance. Conclusion: Between the classroom and the laborato- ry, one can learn a great deal about life through the study of biology. Mr. Charles R. Holbrook Biology Mrs. Sandra M. Cortese Biology; N.H.S.

Young ladies DO NOT wear PANTS in an office. Looks like hieroglyphics to me. Leave room for foot- notes at the end of the page. You only have two days to complete your manuscript. You’ll have to keep your nails trimmed in order to be a good typist! Miss Johnson, my ribbon is on backwards. Did anybody ever figure out what that Norelco lesson 1, 2, 3, 4, means on the stenotrainer? Are your initials on the back of the paper? 21 Fashion Design Miss Katherine F.

Smith Home Economics; Mathematics Good cooking is an art, and students in the Foods Class are cultivating it through experience. A relaxed atmosphere is created, and it is comparable to a good home situation. After learning basic techniques, these skills will be applied to serving meals to outside groups and teachers. Several awards and prizes are available to the students: the Betty Crocker Homemaker of the Year Award, the Annual Crisco Award, and awards for the best cook in BHS and the outstanding home economics student. Other benefits? Well . . . You don’t have to eat the school lunch! Foods Department 23 Mr. M. Donald Plummer Art Director Mr. Roger M. Mulford Art; Art Club Mr. Richard J. Clancy Art Mrs. Gretchen S. Sanderson Art; Art Club; Yearbook 24 Even with the addition of midyears and finals this year, art still reigns as the most popular elective of- fered by the school. More and more students are dis- covering that this is the course to take for freedom of expression and a relaxed atmosphere. Creativity is en- couraged. and the art department hopes that if a student is truly interested and has just a little imagina- tion, talent will be the result. The works of art on display in the halls are proof of that. And since we all know that artists must suffer, we accept such hard- ships as having to share one old, worn-out sink between two classes. 25 Music Music I is the answer to the question, “How did this ever get started?” Students trace the history of music as well as its relation to art and learn of the lives of past composers. The course is “general and non-technical,” and enjoyable even if you are not musically inclined. To all qualified students, BHS offers a more inten- sive course — ear training, music theory, and elemen- tary harmony . . . “You mean we have to write an original piece?” Even now the clarinet section is dreading that their part will again be in the violin’s range, and all ponder the first wavering strains of the “Mr. Tower March”. Mr. Howard A. Nettleton Music Mr. William M. Tower, Jr. Instrumental Music 27 Vocational Mr. John J. Corrigan Vocational Interim Part-time Director; Metal Fabrication; Key Club Mr. Carlton L. Seaman Machine Shop; Track The excellent facilities of the Belmont Vocational- Technical High School allow the student an opportu- nity to learn skills for the attainment of gainful em- ployment. Towards this end the student is taTight to manipulate all types of tools and machines — and in the process he comes to value the importance of preci- sion and the art of craftsmanship. This growing aware- ness should lead to an appreciation of his own worth and to an understanding of his human dignity and approaching manhood. This development instills in the student an attitude of responsibility which will permit him to become a useful member of adult society as well as a successful and reliable craftsman. 28 Mr. Dominic J.

Wheaton Pontiac t e-LMONT ■ft4 AnnPi Driver’s Education “Never allow a piece of work to leave your hands until you are proud of it.” Perched atop their stools, with pencil and ruler in hand, the members of the mechanical drawing class are learning the “universal language.” Precision and accuracy make this course a challenging one, and their mastery gives the student a feeling of pride and accomplishment. With the basis that this course provides, he can go on to many inter- esting and challenging occupations. The opportunity for creativity is there, but at the same time, you have guidelines for your work . . . “Don’t play with the T- squares!” . . . The next step is to build that cottage you’ve designed. Mechanical Drawing “If you don’t look. I’ll give you 30 lashes in front of the school!” It is a well known fact that Mr. Hede- mark has nerves of steel. Who else could take 30 students at 20 minutes a piece, every week and still have patience with each little darling? . . . “You didn’t give me a hum hum?” But everyone has to start somewhere, and if we go through a few stop signs . . . Well, we’re sure to improve by the next lesson . . . “Let’s take the Chapman Tour.” Driver’s Education has been fun and profitable, but our only regret is that we gave the teacher a whiplashed neck!! 32 Recognition Howard A. Nettleton Director of Music Carleton L. Seaman Machine and Track Carleton L. Seaman was appointed Machine Shop Instructor in the Belmont Vocational High School September, 1944, after teaching at Wentworth Institute during World War II on the U.S. Naval Training Program. He is a graduate of Wentworth Institute and of Fitchburg State College. Interested in sports and especially in track, he was appointed to coaching duties on the Cross Country and Spring Track programs. In 1951 he started the Indoor Track Program and had State Championship teams in 1955, 1960, 1961, and 1963. In this field he was President of the Mass. Track Coaches Association. Anyone who knows Mr. Seaman realizes his interest in fishing. He has been a member of the Newton Anglers Club for many years. Mr. Nettleton is completing thirteen years of devoted service to Belmont High School. Under his able leadership, the Music Department has added an important dimension to our student activities. Interested music students have had ample opportunities to continue their musical studies in both curricular and co-curricular organizations. Our band has performed admirably on the football field in the fall. Both band orchestra have brought praise through their Spring Concert. Mr. Nettleton’s vocal groups were eagerly sought by local organizations. Their delightful renditions enhanced our reputation in the community. 33 ACTIVITIES ACTIVITIES ACTIVITI DRAMA AWARD: L.

Its purpose is to enrich the lives of its members. Certain grades must be maintained to stay in the club, which is composed of junior and senior girls. Meetings were held monthly and some form of entertain- ment or a speaker was provided. Formal initiation for new members was held this year in the fall. Another annual function was The Mother- Daughter tea when girls taking fashion and design modeled their creations for the other club mem- bers and their mothers. 38 National Honor Society Pres.: J.

Despite the wonders of computer programming, which scheduled less than 20 people into the band period, the band did manage to assemble en masse each Saturday morning for practice and the afternoon foot- ball game. The most memorable and successful game was certainly with Cambridge High and Latin. There was little rivalry between the two bands in the stands, each having contributed equally to the half time show. Then Cambridge High and Latin Quintet visited the Belmont stands and taught the band the tune now fondly called “Jazz Thing.” Long live their trombone player!! Band 40 Color Guard Capt.: B.

Glee Club Mr. Nettleton, who refuses to have an ordinary sound- ing Glee Club, teaches the girls not only the proper way to sing and hum but also trains their ears to hear the harmony in the music. If a stranger walked in during a Glee Club practice and saw the faces the girls made and heard all their ooo ' s and ah’s, he’d surely think he’d entered the Bel- mont High Funny Farm. This seemingly bizarre behavior is really a very professional way of warming up and . . . Well, if you don’t believe me come to the concert! Adv.: Mr. Nettleton. 43 Pres.: C. Villars; V. Pres. : R.

Les Copains Modern French culture played an important part in the activities of the French Club this year, which began with an intellectual finger painting session for all those budding Renoirs. Students vigorously discussed plans for activities such as viewing modern French movies, and the theater sectors of the paper were scanned. As a result, a modern French play at the Loeb Drama Center was viewed, and it would have been “magnifique” if the characters had spoken “en anglais” (and maybe moved their arms a little . . .) C’est la vie. 44 Pres.: S. Garber; V.Pres.: P. Boundy; Sec. : P. Small; Treas.: M. Meehan; Adv.: Mrs. Lord. We had JUNIORs who Frolicked, FMertained, CZ attered and CLowned aroCnd buoyantly — which all added up to a great time in the Junior French Club! This year we embarked upon a campaign to familiarize students with France’s fine points. We had speakers talking about her various cities to help us decide what sights to see on BHS ' s or one’s own trip to France. As always we ended the year with delectable delicacies during our delicious dining at a French restaurant. Les Compagnons 45 Pres.: H. Goldstein; V.Pres.: L. Typrowicz; Rec. Sec.: J. Raidl; Corr.

Among the numerous social activities were parties, ping pong, tobogganning, and even making a German din- ner. Culturally, the club has had the opportunity to at- tend a wide variety of plays, operas, and lectures, both in English and German. The annual German event, “Tivoli,” at Boston University, was again a great suc- cess. In the field of athletics, the club has formed a volleyball team and other language clubs were chal- lenged. In all aspects, Der Deutsche Verein has long been a club of continuous activity and this year was by far no exception. 46 Chairman: L. Goldenberg; Co-Chairman: R. Hecht; Sec.-Treas.. J.

The Russian Club has staged many activities this year in order to earn forty-three thousand dollars to pay for a trip to Russia. Students swarmed to the cafeteria to partake of deli- cacies at the Russian Club food sales. A gala Russian Club dinner celebrated the end of mid-year exams, to the gastronomical delight of all who attended, and re- sulted in an increase in the size of the Russian Club Treasury.

The Roman Era was characterized by strong family ties, elaborate dress, power struggles, the extremes of poverty and wealth, corruption, and reform. Latin schol- ars wrote about this era with flair and insight, so that their works can be enjoyed and applied even today. The Latin Club realized this, and tried to illustrate Roman works and culture this year through movies, plays and other functions. Latin is certainly not dead, and the Latin Club is enlightening more and more people to the fact that it can be useful and enjoyable. (These don’t taste like Latin cookies?) Attenzione! Attenzione! Hey, will everybody get quiet! No, Dick, I’m sorry you can’t join; you never took Italian. Where do you want to go out to eat? I think Italy is out of the question; well, Carbo’s Sub Shop isn’t much better. O.K., we’ll go to the Ramada Inn with the Span- ish Club. Bocci — You’ll drive. Mr. Veneri, where are you going to eat? All right. I’ll have lasagna and mani- cotta, too. You better fork up the money! But the bill comes to $2 1 8.46! Impossible! How could thirty kids eat that much? Mr. Veneri! Help!! Pres.: J.

After a jumbling of dates, various decisions over menus, and cancellations of reservations, the whole troop headed off to the Ra- mada Inn for an eventful dinner. In addition to the club’s gastronomical adventure, both ' social and educa- tional events have been planned. All in all, the Spanish Club combines a relaxed atmosphere with an active schedule to produce a very rewarding experience for all its members. 49 Pres.: H. Komfeld; V. Pres. : C. Broner; Sec: : J.

In an effort to make the seminar programs more and more informative, the club polled history classes for ideas concerning subjects and speakers to include in dis- cussions. This proved very successful, and at last word members were still in search of Roxanne Dunbar, Jona- than Kozol, and the local faction of SDS. Adv.: Miss Almquist. Forum Club Public Speaking Club The Public Speaking Club sprang into this year with activities to loosen up the body such as hopping around like a kangaroo, vaulting over desks, and driving imagi- nary golf balls. But PSC is not merely an athletic organi- zation! The members gave speeches on personal ex- periences (How to Demolish a Canoe) and read poetry and plays for voice interpretation. They learned to speak without shuffling their feet or fiddling with their fingers. PSC hopes to enter a contest to display its ora- torical skills. Ad infinitum! 50 Pres.: R. Manuelian; V. Pres. : M.

Science Club Inspired by the third period physics class’ redecora- tion of room 210, the Science Club again took up the task of finding centrifugal force, wherever it may hide. Beginning at a member’s home in Belmont, where in- stant insanity and a study of the flight patterns of pil- lows occupied an industrious evening, the group pro- ceeded to the nation’s capital, in hopes that the hidden force might be there. Unsuccessful, yet undaunted, they regrouped and headed toward the Cape. And there, in a small back room, the search was ended. The handwriting was on the wall, word for word from the physics book . . . “there is no such force.” 51 Art Club Pres.: S. Blomdahl; V. Pres.: G. Boyages; Sec. : K. Anderson; Treas.: J. Seneca; Social Chairman: J. Harrington; Adv.: Mrs. Sanderson, Mr. Mulford. This year the Art Club experimented with a new idea. The jobs normally handled by the art department became workshop material for the club members. They worked on signs, posters, and de- partment requests. The new Signpress aided in producing professional looking signs and gave the students a new art ex- perience. — ' ' V. v } • . . .

In its second year, the Belmont High Chess Club con- tinues to display an intellectual atmosphere as it matches wits among its members. Tension builds with each game, as the teams slowly eliminate the pawns, knights, bishops, rooks, queens and finally — the king! The terrific tension is terminated by a climatic check- mate. What breath-t aking action there was as the Club played its thrilling match against Belmont Hill, which ended in a draw! The strained brains of competition were then at ease. Whether one is a member or not, one must agree that chess stimulates not only the mind, but also the spirit of intellectual competition. Chess Club Pres.: G. Quinn; V.Pres.: E.

This merry group could be seen every Saturday at football games wearing maroon and white shakers and belting out cheer after cheer. They were responsible for the vibrant decorations of buses and leading the motorcade to games, a hearty bake sale, and free coffee and donuts for the band and cheerleaders after the Thanksgiving game. Maybe next year they will sell the Marauder beanies and bumper stickers! 55 Pres.: M. Chrusz; V.Pres.: R. Canina; Sec. : L. Betts; Treas.: A. Hintlian; Historian: D. Hansen; Adv. : Mr. McGuirk. The Varsity Club consists of the students in the school who have had the honor of receiving their varsity jackets through participation in some varsity sport. The club has become very active this year and so far its main project has been the selling of crew shirts. With the backing of the students in the club this fine organization is sure to have continuous success in the future. Varsity Club 56 Pres.: S. King; V.Pres.: R. Egan; Sec.: M. Chrusz; Treas.: G.

The Pancake Breakfast, which was postponed from January to May, was the | club’s major source of funds for the scholarships. Dur- j ing the spring there were inter-club meetings with the i key clubs of Arlington and Wayland, which were inter- i esting for all those in attendance. The Key Club ended I the year on a successful note. 57 Pres.: J. Berio; V. Pres.: L. Matz; Sec. : L. Goldenberg; Treas.: L. Bedig; Adv.: Miss Rigaud.

This is the way to kill a wife with kindness.” But the show must go on— despite chipped thumbs, bruised heads, and various broken collarbones . . . The Shakespeare Club chose the Taming of the Shrew as its annual play. The members had a choice of trying out for a part or contributing to the final production by working on the costume, makeup, set, lighting, sound or advertising committees. All efforts were coordinated into the performances by the assistant director, produc- tion manager and our faculty advisor-director, and the production was put on in May. 58 59 Entertainment Society The Entertainment Society is a new title for an old club that has been reorganized this year. The original Drama Club was formed in 1940 by Mr Edmund MacClosky, who advised the club until 1957 The club presented productions during the Thanksgiv- ing and Christmas assemblies; they used timely subject: with scripts written by the students, scripts of old radic programs. Between 1943 and 1946, the Drama Clut competed in the Massachusetts Drama Festival. Miss Ruth Zimmerman advised the club from 195! until 1961. During this era, the Drama Club was sue cessful with entires in the Drama Festival and variou other activities. Miss Emily Gross took over in 1962 am stayed until 1964. The last year Belmont competed ii the Massachusetts Drama Festival was 1962. The Drama Club continued with workshops and var- ious productions. In 1965, Mr. Paul Nichols headed a very active club, which did Shakespearean readings and a theatre-in-the-round production of the Greek play, Antigone. During the summer of 1969, a drama club was con- ceived with the aims of providing an organization open to the entire school with workshops, readings, and pro- ductions, just as Mr. MacClosky had done thirty years before. It’s a separate entity from the Senior play and the Shakespeare Club. Miss Currie directs its plays. The Entertainment Society entered the Massachusetts Drama Festival with the one play, Wit’s End. It is off to a good start and the club is destined for success in the new high school. Stage Manager: R. Hydren; Producer: R. Watters; Adv.: CURSE YOU. JACK DALTON!

The council has worked endlessly in pursuing its goals; to increase school spirit and to promote a better learning atmosphere throughout the school. At the weekly meetings, repre- sentatives debated the more basic problems confronting our school, such as study halls, dress code, exam sched- ules, and curricula, to mention only a few. It is very encouraging to note the increased activity of the 1969- 70 student council, and with added support of the entire student body, there is great hope for an ever more par- ticipatory council in years to come.

Football A season which started with great promise ended in a very disappointing loss to Watertown. The Maroon Marauders won their first two games by scores of 14-8 and 7-0 over Lexington and Reading respectively. The Marauders displayed a tough defense against Reading, keeping the Rockets out of the end when they had a first down on the Belmont three. Some hard nose tackling was done by Tom Mulligan and Mike Pizzi on the left and by Dick Delacy and Jim Connelly on the right. Jim’s brother. Bob, had already picked off two Lexing- ton passes the week before. Against Reading, however, the Marauders lost the valuable services of running back Steve O’Neil when he was sidelined for the season. The homeless Belmont team travelled to Melrose where they almost pulled a major upset. However, inabil- ity to score spelled their downfall, failing to score three times inside the Melrose ten yard line. Belmont won only one more game and finished the season with 3 wins and 6 losses. 78 79 1 I l Captain: K. Allen; Coach : Mr. Seaman; Manager: K. Van Uitert. Cross Country The cross-country team suffered a disappointing sea- ' son this year. They finished last in the Middlesex League and without a victory. Adding to the disappoint- ment was the fact that Coach Seaman was fin- ishing his long coaching career after this year and the runners were not able to give him at least one victory. The team had a couple of pleasant surprises with many good sophomores, especially Wally Swanton, running well. Art Battle, Dick Kelley, and Joe Tryon started running much better late in the season and show a lot of promise for next year. Keith Allen, Bob Pitts, and Rick Markussen were consistent runners the whole season. Even though we had many good runners we still could not pull out a victory even though we almost won a hard fought battle with Melrose. Some people say we did!

In 1968 if some one mentioned “State Championships” or even “League Champions” to the team he would be laughed at. But if the question was asked to the Soccer squad this year the reply would be quite different. Bel- mont became co-champs of the Middlesex League. All through the season Belmont played a tight defen- sive game lead by John Feeley, Dave Malenka and Bob Norris. But its offense didn’t slip by unnoticed. Captain Tony Dutra led the way to many victories aided by Brian McKenney, Bill Boyle, Mark Chursz, Rick Free- man, John Caccamo, Andy Sims, and Jim Cook. Earlier and tougher practices called by Coach MacBain and Russell was a contributing factor to the teams success. Success, however, was shared with another team, the Minutemen from Lexington. A playoff was held and a tough Belmont kept pace with Lexington, ending the game in a 2-2 tie with 6 overtimes. Another playoff was held to see who would enter the “States” and this time Lexington downed Belmont 1-0. Belmont still had it co- champ title but did not go in the championships. Belmont proved to itself and to everyone else that soccer is here to stay and that Belmont can play it with the best of them, and maybe next year, “state champi- ons” will become a greater reality. Coach : Mr. Russell. I Jb li wo 81 Captain: M. Chrusz; Coach: Mr. Hayes. Basketball Despite the disappointing season that the Belmont High basketball team experienced this year, fine efforts were turned in by many of the individual players. Led by Captain Mark Chrusz, who scored over 300 points, the Marauders pulled some near upsets throughout the year. Artie Rouse and Jim Connelly were strong on the boards, while Bill Boyle, Dave Hansen, and Brian McKenney added strength and depth to the backcourt. The team spirit was often lifted by the defensive play of Tony Dutra. With many returning J.V. and varsity players, Coaches Hayes, McGuirk, and Mullin are look- ing forward to a promising season next year. 82 83 For the second year in a row, Belmont High’s hockey team missed qualifying for the States by one game. That one game was a loss to the League champion. Stone- ham, by a score of 2-1. To make matters worse Stone- ham scored the winning goal with only 23 seconds re- maining in the game. Led by all-star defenseman and captain Steve Blanch- ette and high-scoring (29 points) center John Cac- camo, the Marauders created havoc among the top three teams, beating Stoneham once, Wakefield twice, and tying Melrose twice. Belmont’s downfall came from lesser clubs, however, as they lost to Winchester twice. Concord and Reading once. Hockey Belmont Won 9 Lost 5 Tied 4 84 The indoor track team has had a disappointing year. The team, co-captained this year by Bob Pitts and Ralph Canina. has seen some individual efforts and per- sonal improvements. The team has three outstanding sophomores in Wally Swanton and Billy Markussen in the two mile and Wally Littlewood in the high jump; three fine improving juniors in Joe Tryon in the mile, Arthur Parsons in the 1000 and Chuck Gangas in the 300. and has seen such seniors as “rookie” Bill Auffin- ger who has done a good job for his first association with the hurdles, Bob Pitts in the 600, Ralph Canina, greatly improved in the shot put, Rick Markus sen in the dash and Mike Najarian in the mile. Mr. Seaman, who is now in his last year as track coach, is optimistic as any good coach should be about the future.

L’ot- tima direzione, da parte di rettori e professori; I’adeguata impostazione dei programmi di studio e la sua per- fetta organizzazione. 123 HISTORY OF First high school, 1867-1897 School Street (Old Town Hall) Aerial view of present school (with Roger Wellington building) Mr. Henry H. Butler, Principal 1881-1899 Second high school, 1897-1917 Moore Street (now Town Hall Annex) Belmont Senior High School. 1917-1970 Orchard Street The earliest high school classes met in the basement of the Congregational Church. In 1867, the high school was in a large wooden building on School Street, and the two rooms in the upper story were used for classes. Thirty years later a new high school, adjoining the Town Hall, was constructed on Moore Street and was used until 1917. It was then that the present Belmont Senior High School was constructed behind the Roger Wellington School which served as a junior high. The Roger Wellington building was annexed to the high school on Orchard Street when the new junior high opened in 1927, which is located on Washington Street. Mr. Charles Jenny, Principal 1900-1906 Mr. C. Eugene Klise, Principal 1906-1910 Mr. Frank A. Scott, Principal 1910-1921 Mr. John R. Olin, Principal 1900 126 New wing, 1964 — Orchard Street New school, 1970 — Concord Avenue Roger Wellington building (annexed to third high school) 1927-1964 School Street In 1963, Belmont was faced with building a new high school or an addition to the old high school. It was decided that a new wing be built. A year later, the Roger Wellington building was torn down, as the new section was well under construction. On March 10, 1967, a spectacular $2 million fire left little more than the new wing. It was decided that the junior high school be used for double sessions for the remainder of the school year. Classes were later re- sumed in the present high school. On November 18, 1968, a decisive vote was made in favor of building the new school, on Concord Avenue which should be com- pleted by September, 1970. Mr. Robert J. O ' Donnell Principal 1968 Mr. Sanford B Ccmery Principal 1921-19.15 Mr. Willis B Gifford Principal 1916-19.19 Mr. Wayne Shipman Principal 19.19-1944 Mr. George Higginbotu n Principal 1944-1968 127 BELMONT S LARGEST | NEWSPAPER OHk« ond Plant 19 FIETT RO.

How diversified Belmont High has been. What we would now call the present — it has taken on new leadership, with regard to a principal; it has taken on student government, no more codes for students’ clothes; and it will take on a new form, but the Old will not die. Within less than a year, the darkening red bricks will collect their ivy, and the old Orchard Street school will be long-forgotten. Old must give way to Young, but what is new today — is old tomorrow. The fire it survived or the double sessions begun in March, will all become ancient history in the annals of the town of Belmont. The final construction of a new Belmont High, will succeed in preparing its youth for the future — this once accepted as current events, will soon sit side by side with countless items of old news. The New will include a campus-big and beautiful; who could ever have dreamed of such a reality! Yet the dream will soon be fulfilled. But before it is, we, some of the members of the Old — the class of ’70 — wish you — the long line of classes who will be entering the New — a sincere hope, that the New will serve you — as the Old has served us.

Steadfast for us your spirit true — Accept our heartfelt praise. Well guided by you through the years, In many ways we’ve grown; Now time for change again draws near — Hope springs from trust you’ve shown. O Belmont High we sing of you, And knowledge shared with all; Of books and classes, homework too — And laughter in your halls. As hearts now fill with memory Of teachers and good friends; O Belmont High — we part from you, Advancing once again.
