'Ill' Foreword In this book, we, of the Sixth Form, 'wish to establish a permanent record of our last years here at Belmont Hill. We wish to extend our deepest gratitude tolall those who have helped to compile this booli: especially to fllr. Turnbull for his helpful counsel and proof reading, to Ulf. Adams for his 'valuable assistance, and to Jllr. lllahoney for his superb photographs. Contents Dedication Faculty Sixth Form School Activities School Athletics Advertisers To Our Classmates in the Service Although the war is over, we of the Sixth Form would like to dedicate this page to our elassmat's in the Armed Forces. We will always regret that they were not here to graduate with us. There is no doubt that their presence would have lent vigor and a greater aehievement td our last years at Belmont Hill. llfe would like to Iahe this ojnjnortunity to wish them all every happiness and the Lest of luch. L eclication We of the,Sixth Form dedieate this yearbook to Mr. Grohe as a small token of o-ur deep appreciation of all he has do.ne for us. He has always been a true leader and friend to us. He has taught as to play the game hard and clean whatever the owuteome. His' in- fluence ozn our lives has been profound. His friendly counsel and help not only on the athletic fela' but in all our school activities have put as eternally in his debt. life will always remember him' and what he1 stood for. To the Class of 1946 For when the One Great Scorer comes to write against your name, He writes - Not that you won or lost - but how you played the game. . . . Grantland Rice Each moment that you gave to the sports you loved, here at Belmont Hill, every bead of sweat that ever oozed through your young pores in the exhilaration of a game, all the physical development in which your bodies ever reveled, all the teeh- niques asnd skills you ever learned in each. separate sport you followed, - all shall have been in vain and reduced to a mere materialistic memory, unless their real and abiding lessons are translated into moral stamina. Did the execution of a play call for courage on the football field? Then have the courage not' to compromisef your principles on the broader playing-field of life. Did you have to make quich decisions on the basketball court? Then don't vaeillatc before the dictates of a right conscience. Did you train yourself to play fair on the baseball diamond? Then remember that fair play is the sporting edition of the Golden Rule. Did you pull with your team to win the game? Then wall' arm in arm witlz your fellowman to goals of commosn achievement. PVere you proud of a clean and sound body? Then be more proud to possess a mind that is sound and pure! Unless your future lives are so inspired, your days at Belmont llill shall have been nothing but shadows without ssubstance, matter without form. William E.

The news of his death was both tragic and unbelievable as everybody at Belmont Hill was looking forward to his return. ffl was the original member of our form, entering School in 1939. He was one of our leading athletes. His enthusiasm and natural ability enabled him to win his football letter in his Third Form year, after being outstanding in Lower School athletics. He continued to play a superb game at half back until two years later when a knee injury sidelined him for most of the season. He rowed on the first boat in his Fourth Form year, was acting Crew Captain in 1945 and was elected Captain for 1946. dl , always a leader, was elected President of our Form three times and was a member of the Student Council last yeaz. dl attended St. lllark's Summer School last summer where his magnetic personality won him many friends among both boys and masters. lie was in charge of younger boys, a position which he held with distinction. He had something about him that made him friends wherever he wepnt. His ready smile, keen wit, and kindly spirit made him a favorite with everybody. All the men who taught him both here at Belmont Hill and St. 1Uark's held him in the highest esteem. ' dl has been sorely missed. We all remember the happy times we had with him both in and out of class and he has left a blank spot in our hearts that will be hard to jill. He was one of the backbones of our form and was always a staunch supporter of Belmont Hill School. ln his comparatively short life dl has left an indelible impression on this school and on all of us who knew him. Wfe will always cherish and be inspired by his memory. ROBERT GEORGE ANDREVVS Doc Andy Entered: '42 Age: 18 U.

Our Classmates in the Service STAN MACK JACK MCCARTHY . EPH MARTIN Stan entered the United States Navy last year, after spending the summer at St. lVIark's Summer School. He received his boot training at the Great Lakes Naval Training Station. He was then transferred to Bainbridge, lllaryland, where he is now serving in the Personnel Discharge Department. Stan came to Belmont Hill in 1941. He was our Class President last year and served on the Student Council. He was a member of the Glce Club and won his letter in crew in ,45. His personality and leadership had made him such an important part of our form that he was keenly missed this year. Jack joined the Navy in April, IQ45, and went to Sampson in August after two months at St. lVIark's Summer School. From Sampson he went to a corps school in San Diego and was then sent to Dublin, Georgia, where he is now serving in a hospital. Jack came to Belmont Hill in 1940. He was an enthusiastic member of the Glee Club for five years. Jack, an excellent athlete, received his football letter in ,43, ,44, ,45, and was elected Captain for '46. He was also a fine hockey player, receiving his letter in y45. Mac's loss has been keenly felt. His athletic ability, ready smile, and friendliness have made him one of the outstanding members of our form. Eph enlisted in the United States Navy in January, 1945. He received his boot training in lklemphis, Tennessee. From there he went to Oklahoma and later to Jackson- ville, Florida, to receive training to become an aviation machinist mate and gunner. He is now serving in this capacity in Brunswick, Maine. Eph became a member of our form in 1943. He was a member of the Rifle Club and the Glee Club, being secretary of the former last year. Besides this activity in clubs, Eph was an excellent artist, drawing for the Sextant and for his own enjoyment. Our form lost one of its most valuable members when Eph left. His abilities and his quiet and sincere manner will make him welcome anywhere. Best of luck in everything, Ephl JOE DOHERTY VVYMAN SMART Joe entered the United States Navy last July. He received his boot training at the Great Lakes Naval Training Center. He Was then transferred to the Fargo Barracks 111 Boston where he is now. Joe entered school in October, 1943, from Nlilton Academy and soon became popu- lar. Hc was a member of the Glee Club and, although he was not a natural athlete earned his letter in crew ill ,45. Joe, always one of the form's spark plugs, has been sorely missed. VVe all regret that his magnetic vitality was missing from our ranks this year. VVyman enlisted in the United States Navy i11 Nlarch, 1945, and Went to boot camp at Sampson, N. Y., in May ofthe same year. He is now at San Diego, Cal., where he is at- tached to the Fleet Postoffice. VVyman's admission to School in 1940 started a five year career which we of thc older part of the form are not likely to forget. He had a rare and delightful sense of humor. He was a letter-ma11 in hockey in ,44 and '45 and was elected Captain for '46. He also earned his football letter in 215. Wyfman has given a trophy to the School to be awarded to the most improved hockey player each season. lt is things like this that make us remen1ber VVyman and regret that he could not have been here this year to graduate with us.

At the start of the school year Al Locatelli, Stan llflack, Hugh Clarke, Jack Sullivan and Tom Knight represented the Sixth Formg Don Livingstone, Bob Gelotte, Aussie VVood and Dick Cameron the Fifthg Danny Bickford, the Fourth. Whit Calkins and Bob Andrews were elected to take the place of Stan Nlack, who was drafted, and Al Locatelli, who died before returning to school. Robert lVare was elected to take the place of Hugh Clarke who graduated in February. Following the decision made the previous year, the Student Council met all the new boys entering Belmont Hill the day before school opened. They attempted to explain to the new boys the purpose of the Council and to discuss with them the part they must play in co- operating with it. It was felt that this meeting was quite successful and that it helped the boys to understand their relation to the School the first day. lt is hoped that this policy will be con- tinued in the future. Hugh Clarke was elected Chairman of the Student Council, while Jack Sullivan be- came Secretary. Tom Knight was elected Treasurer to take care of the money collected from the Charity Fund drive which was organized by the Student Council in the fall. The purpose of this drive was to combine the many varied contributions asked of the student body through- out the school year into a large Charity Fund collected at one time. A substantial sum of over five hundred dollars was collected which was divided among several charities, noteworthy among which were the Red Cross, Community Fund, lylarch of Dimes and Unitarian Service Committee. lVlembers of the Council again supervised crackers and milk, but did not take over the management of the study hall. The suggestion box placed in the study hall promoted many well-considered ideas by the boys. These suggestions were discussed by the Council and some resulted in changes in the School to the ad vantage of the boys. It is hoped that with increased cooperation from the whole School and with inspir- ing leadership from the upper forms the Student Council will eventually become an indis- pensable part of the School.

They were Dick Cameron, Aussie XVood, Ricky Conant, Phil Cadeiro, Jimmy Angevine and Paul Kaufman. Danny Bickford was elected to help .lim Tillotson, the business manager, whose efforts in the financial department were rewarded by a substantial bank account at the end of last year. This year,s Sextant board considered the improvements made in last year's issues so good that the only change involved the enlarging of the Lower School section. The graduation issue featured Alfonso Polidura's oil painting of a fishing jetty in Nlaine as the best painting of the year and skillful line drawings by Ben lfvheaton. The magazine published short biographies of lX'lr. Funk and lVIr. Togneri, as well as interesting accounts of the activities of Mr. Jenney and Nlr. Sawyer during the war years. Among the outstanding features of the graduation issue were the illustrations by Art Lawson who entered the Sixth Form this year. Unquestionably his skill will continue to stimu- late artistic interest in the Sextant. I Two pages were reserved in this issue in memoriam to Al Locatelli who died in the fall. A portrait of Al was reproduced and a write-up of his short life was included. Best of luck to Dick Cameron and his board for the new spring issue which at the time of this writing is just going to press, and congratulations to Hugh Clarke for the two issues he so ably edited. i Fourth Row: Spencer, Smith, Boireau, Dalbeck, Conant, Snelling, Cameron Third Row: Mr. Burroughs, Wigglesworth, Campbell, Robertson, Allison, Clarke, Kingman, Nemrow, Avery.

This program was originally planned as a joint concert with the choir of the St. lVlark's School, but an epidemic of influenza prevented the participation of St. lVlark's choir. l'Vith very few changes in the program, the concert was given as scheduled, with the aid of a large group of Lower School and Second Form boys to sing the descants in some of the numbers. lt proved to be an interesting occasion. The second appearance of the Glee Club was in a joint concert with the Brimmer- llflay School on April 26th at the Charles Street Nleeting House in Boston. Selections by El- gar, lppolitof-lvanoff, Haydn, and a group of lighter numbers by Rogers and Noel Coward were sung jointly by the two clubs, as well as individual groups by each club. A dance at the Brimmer-ilflay School followed the program. Cn Nlay 24th in the Field House the Glee Club presented what is hoped will be- come an annual Home Concert. This was a formal concert which featured classical selections as well as numbers in a lighter vein. Que interesting selection, sung in German, was The Peat Bog Soldiers, which was written by prisoners in a German concentration camp. John Snelling played the immortal Chopin Polonaise as a piano solo, and the Barber Shop Quartet added humor as well as harmony to the occasion. The program closed with the stirring Franck arrangement of the 150th Psalm. The club has shown marked improvement during the year in its precision, attacks, releases, and tonal quality. Sincere appreciation is due lVIr. Funk for his capable accompaniments at rehearsals and performances. The club was under the direction of Mr. Burroughs.

Boecklin, the Rifle Club reached for the first time its maximum membership of 45 boys. The Club elected Bob Andrews, President, Hugh Clarke, Vice-president, Tom VVard, Secretary, and Paul Avery, Treasurer. As in past years the Rifle Club was a member of the National Rifle Club Asso- ciation and started shooting in the National Postal lllatches in December. There were four such matches, one each in December, January, Februaiy and llflarch. Belmont Hill School was represented by Edward Bovey, Mike Foster, Charles Carothers, Sam Caldwell, Gordon De- Voto, Howard Bouve, Peter Farnsworth and Pete Simonds. This group, by their excellent shoot- ing, managed to bring the School's standing up to the first half of Class B, which was a definite improvement over past years. Over 300 schools participated in these matches. Foster, Simonds, Bovey, Caldwell and DeVoto distinguished themselves by attaining the highest scores in all four matches and were rewarded with the team brassards for 1946. In the intramural competition between the four School clubs, the Bull llfleese gained first honors. Edward Bovey was awarded the Belmont Hill School Nledal for highest marks- manship. He shot a score of 96 points out of a possible loo. To the delight of lVIr. Boeeklin the rifle range has been improved so that the boys will be better able to shoot. Also, through the National Rifle Association the School has been able to buy a much needed new target rifle. Lower School The Lower School has found the year centered considerably about the exciting move to the new building. Any move brings adjustments: to new surroundings and routines, to new possibilities and ideas. Although a few weeks have not been enough to get a full program going, most of the facilities in the new building are being used. M1'. Togneri, in his art room has found a renewed enthusiasm, the shop has been under Mr. Carroll, bedraggled specimens are lugged to the science room for Mr. Harris' admiration, and Nlr. Burroughs continues to exclaim over his pine-panelled music room. Already, several issues of a new bi-weekly, The Lower School Log, have appeared. The Spring play, Treasiure Island, went into rehearsal early in March for an April production under the direction of Mr. Funk. The football team after a slow start finished strongly with a 24-Ot victory over Fenn and two closely contested O-0 ties against Browne and Nichols and Roxbury Latin. The Hillers tasted defeat twice at the hands of Fessenden. The open dates featured inter-squad games be- tween Red and Blue teams. This was the first season in several that the Lower School has fielded regular eleven-man squads. Excessive snow after the Christmas vacation prevented a full hockey season, but the team was able to play a three-game schedule. The Lower School sextet secured an even break with Fenn, winning 5-1 and later losing 6-O. Fessenden, however, completed its undefeated season by defeating Belmont Hill twice. The basketball team opened its season with a I2-9 victory over Browne and Nichols, later losing to the Boys' Club and Fessenden.

Croke U.S.N.R. Varsity Football The football team this year was hampered by incxperience and lightness. VVith one returning letterman it was plain at the beginning of the season that a lot of work had to be done before a well-rounded team could be fielded. As a result of the coaching of hir. Croke and lvfr. Koslowski, called Mr. Kosl' by the boys, a well-rounded team faced our opponents. VVC greatly missed the playing of Jack lXf'lcCarthy and VVyman Smart, now in the U. S. Navy, and Al Locatelli who died in October. Our football season started off with a bang this year on September 30th with a 24.-O victory over Cambridge. The starting line-up was as follows: Corwin and Wilson on the ends, Basso and Snelling in the tackle slots, Clarke and Conant as guards, and Hession as center. In the backfield we had Foster and Harvey as halfbacks, Quinn, I., playing quarter- back, and Bob Gelotte as fullback. Jim Harvey ran for three touchdowns with Bob Gelotte coming up with one. The attempted conversions failed to click. On October 5th we played Rivers at Belmont and won a 25-O victory. Each back- Held man took his turn crossing that last white line, with Gelotte making the only conversion. Although Belmont was never seriously in trouble, there was obviously work to be done before the next game. The first bad news the team received was on October 13th in Southborough. The team really displayed all its ability in this game, only to see its margin of victory disappear with less than a minute to play. The score at the end of the game was St. lVIark's 12, Belmont 7. Bob Gelotte plunged through for 6 points and passed to Quinn for the seventh. It was in this game that Hodgdon proved his sterling worth as an end. Even though Belmont Hillys eleven lost, there seemed to be promise of a successful season. The next game, which proved to be disastrous, was with Groton on October 20. Belmont was outplayed during the entire game, by a far superior team. Hitting their un- yielding line was like hitting a stone wall. The game finally ended with the one sided score of 4.5-o. On October 26th, we went down to Browne and Nichols in Cambridge. It was a rainy afternoon and the field was very muddy. The score was tied - I3 up. Jim Harvey scored both touchdowns. For one of them he ran from the Browne and Nichols, forty-one yard line. Both Harvey and Gelotte sustained injuries in this game. Middlesex came down to Belmont on November 3rd and overpowered Belmont Hillfs eleven 34-12. Don Livingstone played fullback in this game. Belmont threatened several times, but was unable to produce a third touchdown.. H rv d F the I2 points. a ey an oster were responsible for The final ame of the season was in North Andover a ainst Brooks. A ain we were g g g unable to overcome our opponents, losing I3-O. VVilson started at end and Neyman at one of the tackle spots. Jim Harvey was hurt again. Ricky Conant was elected Captain of next year's team. Letters were awarded to the following: Joe Basso, VVhit Calkins, Hugh Clarke, Ricky Conant, Skip Corwin, Ulvlikel' Foster, Bob Gelotte, Jim Harvey, Bill Hession, Bob Hodffdon, Don Livin stone, Don Powers, Don Quinn, Iohn Snellin Dick Wilson and an g . gy lvlanager Bob Andrews. Next yearls managerial position was left tentative. VVe all look forward to a more successful season next year with a more experienced team and twelve returning lettermen. W I l Y 1 E f Third Row: Daley, Grozier, Casner, Caldwell, Campbell, Dodge, Pride, Creelman, Welch Second Row: Mr. Whittier, Blodgett, Willmann. Fisher, Wiswell, Wigglesworth, Smith, Moore, Farnsworth, Flett, Mr. Jenney Front Row: Knight, Kelleigh, Dunphy, Allison, Wood, Avery, Kaufman, Howe, Deyoe, Biddle, Swift The Forties Squad This year, for the first time in the School's history, the Forties used the T-formation, which was adopted for two reasons. First, to provide the Varsity practice against this often used formation, and second, to give future Varsity players experience with it in the event of its use by the First Squad. For the game with St. lWark's the starting line was l.e., J. Swift, l.t., VVoodg l.g., Kaufman, c., Avery, r.g., Casnerg r.t., Kelleigh, r.e., Campbell. The capable backfield con- sisted of Howe, Deyoe, Allison and Dunphy, with Daley as alternate and Stedfast for the kicking. This game was played at Belmont on October 13th with St. lkiarkls scoring in the first and third periods to win I3-O. Our team fought hard, but was slightly outclassed by its more experienced opponents. The following VVednesday the team registered the first of its three consecutive wins. The team played Browne and Nichols at Cambridge where the first tally was made in the third period on a pass from Allison to Swift. The backs constituted the main weakness, dropping many kicks, so that the final score was only 6-O in favor of the red and blue. For the game with the lkliddlesex C team it was found necessary to borrow mem- bers of the First Squad to raise our coefficients to those of our opponents. In the second period Spike Howe scored around end for Belmont, and in the next a pass from Howe to Allison made the final score and clinched the game I3-O. HSpiken Howels shifty and talented running deserves special mention. In its final game, Belmont delivered a crushing defeat against Noble and Greenough at Dedham, winning 32-O. The first tally was made early in the game by Howe, While sub- sequent touchdowns were scored by Howe, Allison, Swift and Dunphy. lkluch of the success of the team is due to Coaches lVhittier and Jenney. They developed backfield players who give promise of becoming Varsity stars. The outstanding back was Spikel' Howe, but Allison's running and passing, and Dunphyls blocking showed great promise. Third Row: Biilings, Pike, Strong, Nazzarro, Carchia, Paine, Coons, Grozier, McDavitt, Bover, Alcaide, Wilson Second Row: Mr. Burroughs, Hurley, Coon, Daniels, Swaebe, Tillotson, Davis, McKay, Pike, Moore, Mr. Duncan Front Row: Eaton, Tucker, Haig, McGoldrick, Harvey, Quinn, Gill, Greene, Coffin, Barnes, Hookway The Thirties Squad On the 18th of Qctober the Thirties Squad opened its season at Rivers School with the following in the starting lineup: l.e., Eaton, l.t., Tucker, l.g., lVIcGoldrick, c., Coffin, r.g., Haig, r.t., Barnes, r.e., Hookway, lhb., Gill, rhb., Harvey, f.b., Quinn, L., Capt., q.b., Greene and Nazarro. Although the team was near victory several times during the course of this game, it was unable to defeat its opponents, and suffered its only loss of the season - 7-6. The next game of the season was one against an uncoached neighborhood team - The Red Falcons. During this game the Hilltoppers were able to make up for their de- feat by Rivers by winning 33 to O. The chief scorers for Belmont Hill were Quinn, Harvey, and Gill. Although Belmont was able to make its plays Work to perfection in this game, it had to be on its toes every minute as The Falcons had some very tricky plays, particularly from the T-formation. On November 6th, Roxbury Latin Thirties came to Belmont and were defeated I3-O by a Well-coordinated team. The visitors Went into the air in the third quarter, but failed to score. Throughout the game Belmontls passes and reverses kept the opponents baf- fled. During this game Belmont Hill lost the use of its first string quarter back, Teddy Greene, who broke his Wrist. This was an exceptionally fast game and both teams displayed good football. In its next encounter with Fessenden, the Hilltoppers were confronted with a con- siderably lighter line so Carchia, Eaton and Cofiin were benched in order to even up the lines. Even with this change, Belmont did not have any trouble in winning 35-O. Jim Gill is to be congratulated for his fine line bucks, which along with Captain Leigh Quinn's cagey calling of plays and Dovey Harvey's pass snatching, accounted for the sizeable score. This was an unusually successful season for the Thirties With three Wins and one defeat. llfuch credit goes to Coaches Duncan and Burroughs for their untiring efforts. The following also saw action during the season: e., Pike, J., e., Pike, D., g., Grozier, c., Strong, g., Coons, t., Sawtell, lhb.,J'ohnson,rhb., NIcDavitt, E.

Varsity Hockey Of the forty boys who reported to Coaches Koslowski and ilflaxwell for pre-season practice a squad of Fifteen were retained. The first line was made up of Dave Beede, at center, with Joe Kittredge and ,lim Harvey at left and right wings respectively. Bob Gelotte and Don Livingstone played the de- fensive positions with Jim Tillotson and Dave Alcaide alternating in the nets. The second line consisted of Jack Sullivan at center with Jim VVykoff, Doveyl' Harvey and Donn Quinn alternating at the wings. The squad finished the season with a total of eleven wins, five losses, and one tie. The squad took part in the Greater Boston Prep School Clinic and lost to Noble and Greenough. However, they topped Miltoii, Governor Dummer, and Brooks in the next three scrimmages. The school was invited to participate in a tournament at Dartmouth College in which the Hill team lost to Vermont Academy, but came back strongly to beat New Hampton and Hanover High. lVIilton Academy, the next victim of the Hill team, lost by a score of 6-2. Dave Beede tallied three times, Joe Kittredge twice, and Jim Harvey put in the final point. St. lVlark's journeyed to Belmont for a well-played contest which ended with the Hill team on top 7 to 3. Dave Beede again scored three goals, Aloe Kittredge two and -lim Harvey and Campbell each one. Steve Skilton joined the team in this game, playing defense. r The next game, at Exeter, was one of the toughest of the season. Although edged out 3-2 by Exeter, the Hilltoppers played excellently with .lim Tillotson in the nets making 40 stops. .lim VVykoff and Dave Beede made the Belmont goals. The trip to llfliddlesex next resulted in a 4. to I victory for Belmont. .lim Harvey came up with two goals, and Bob Gelotte and Joe Kittredge completed the scoring. Though lacking Joe Kittredge and Don Livingstone because of sickness, the Red and Blue triumphed over Noble and Greenough, 4-2. Jim Harvey and Dave Beede each made one tally, and Bob Geflbtte earned credit for two. The fdlilhoxviiig day Belmont Hill played host to Governor Dummer. ln the second period two goals, fwith assists, were credited to -lim Harvey, Dave Beede and Bob Gelotte. Governor Dummer came back with two oals and in an overtime period neither team was able 1 1 g to score. The game ended in a 2-2 tie. Belmont High School came up on the Hill next and proceeded to walk off with a 5-3 victory. Dave Beede, ,lim Harvey, and Bob Gelotte tallied for the Hill team. Rivers School traveled to Belmont for the next game and lost 8-2. The first line accounted for two goals. This game afforded the entire first team as well as some second team players some lively competition. Lawrence Academy proved to be the team's next victim as they fell 6-O. Aloe Kit- tredge and ,lim Harvey paced the victors with two goals each. The final game at the Skating Club with Andover was a heartbreaker. The second period ended with a 4.-2 lead for Belmont Hill. The third period, however, was discouraging and ended in a 5-4 victory for Andover. Dave Beede scored two, and Joe Kittredge and Bob Gelotte each accounted for one. Dave Beede led the team in scoring with 26 points, while Joe Kittredge, Bob Gelotte and Jimmy Harvey scored 16, I4 and I3 respectively. This yearls captain, VVyman Smart, was unable to lead his team because of service in the U. S. Navy. His position was ably filled by Dave Beede and Bob Gelotte, Letters were awarded to Captain-elect Dave Beede, Don Alcaide, Rick Conant, Bob Gelotte, -lim Harvey, Joe Kittredge, Don Livingstone, Don Quinn, Steve Skilton, jack Sullivan, -lim Tillotson, .lim VVykoff, and managers f'Skid,' Sherwood and Bob VVhite. X Second Row: Mr. Croke, Calkins, Canfield, Nemrow, Harrington, Kelleigh Front Row: Snelling, Lincoln, Clarke, Hodgdon, Swift, Knight 1 l Captain Hugh Clarke Coach William Croke Basketball The 1945-1946 season saw the basketball team ably coached by Nlr. Croke, compile a record of 7 wins and 9 defeats. The first team consisted of Capt. Hugh Clarke, Dick Nem- row, and Bob Hodgdon as forwards, Bill Lincoln at center, and Tom Knight and Ted Can- field as guards. In the first game Huntington School edged the team, 46-45. The team overcame a I4 point deficit in the second half only to see victory snatched away by a last second Hunt- ington basket. Hodgdon and Nemrow totaled 32 points between them. The team won its next game at The Cambridge School, 26-23. Hodgdon paced the team with I3 points. Belmont lost a close one to St. Sebastian's, 33-29 on January II.

Hodgdon tallied IO points while Nemrow and Knight each notched 8. Governor Dummer was the victim of the Red and Blue on Jan. 18, 35-27. The team turned in one of its best games of the season as Hodgdon and Nemrow led the scoring with I7 and 12 points respectively.

Quinn, Snelling, Skilton, Allison l w l , CaD'Cai1l B011 Gelffite Coach G. W. F. Keller Baseball This year the baseball season started about two weeks before our spring vacation. Nlessrs. Keller, llflaxwell and Koslowski turned out with about forty candidates but this squad was eventually cut to fourteen players. Our first game was at Groton on April thirteenth. The starting lineup was as fol- lows: Skilton, c, Calkins, pg Gelotte, fb, L. Quinn, sb, Beede, ss, J. Quinn, tb, J. Harvey, lf, Corwin, cf, and Savage rf. Belmont Hill won IO-7. It was an encouraging victory and a good beginning for the season. The following Wednesday the Hill's team journeyed to the Rivers School at Chest- nut Hill. We kept up our record with a 23-3 victory. The first taste of bad news was received on our own field on Saturday, April twen- tieth. St. Mark's came down and beat us 4-1. Qur next game proved disastrous even though it was a beautiful day to play ball. The team was held to a scoreless and hitless afternoon. The score was Milton 6, Belmont O. On April twenty-seventh the game with Roxbury Latin was rained out. It was played the following Monday at Roxbury. Again, Belmont bowed to their opponent, losing 4'3- At last the team came through to end their losing streak. hliddlesex came down to Belmont on lklay first, only to be beaten 11-6. Dave Beede pitched a nice game for the whole nine innings. Belmont was off to another winning streak. Governor Dummer came down to the Hill on May fourth, only to be turned away on the short end of a hard fought game. In the first seven innings everything looked bad for Belmont, but by the ninth inning the ball game was tied up. Finally, in the eleventh, J. Quinn doubled, Skilton advanced him to third and J. Harvey squeezed him home with a perfectly placed bunt. The final score was 5-4. On another warm day, May eighth, Browne and Nichols came up to Belmont. Again, the Hill's nine were successful.

X X ...ZLW , .1 - P f f Third Row: Wood, Sullivan, Basso, Tillotson, Sherwood K Second Row: Mr. O'Leary, Conant, Dalbeck, Livingstone, Siedler, Mr. Duncan Front Row: Clark, Barnes Captain Al Locatelli daelmggei Duncan Crew For pre-season practice on the machines forty boys reported to Coaches Duncan and O'Leary. After working for two weeks developing the correct form and getting the feel of it, the boys graduated to the river. This year while waiting for the completion of a new boathouse the first two fours rowed from M.I.T. with the third four and the two eights using the Riverside Boat Club. To ease the coaching job, Mr. Pride was kind enough to lend his power boat to the School for use as a launch by the coaches. Cn Saturday, April 27th, the first race of the season was held. Participating in it were Pomfret School, Noble and Greenough and Belmont Hill. After a slow start our sec- ond boat lost by three lengths in the half-mile grind with Pomfret, but nosed out Nobles by a very small margin. The first boat met with misfortune when the bow man jumped his slide on the second stroke, so we were out of the running right from the start. The lineups were as follows: first boat - bow, Sherwood 5 two, Livingstone, three, Dalbeckg stroke, Conant, cox, Barnes. Second boat - bow, Bassog two, Tillotsong three, Siedler, stroke, Sullivan, cox, Clark. On the following Saturday the crew journeyed to Brooks School at North Andover. The lineups for the first and second boats were the same as the previous week with one change - Siedler took the place of Sherwood, bow, on the first boat. The first boat won this race by a length, but the second' boat, although showing considerable improvement over the previous race, lost by six seconds. The next race was at Groton School. The first boat got off to a good start, got the lead and managed to keep it, winning by a quarter-length. The second boat had a lead of a quarter-length at the half-mile mark, but was unable to keep it and lost by a length. On Saturday, May 25th, the crew was host to Exeter Academy. Due to illness, the lineups on the first and second boats were completely changed and the seatings were as fol- lows: first boat - bow, Siedler 3 two, Sullivan, three, Dalbeck 3 stroke, Livingstone 5 cox, Barnes. Second boat - bow, Sherwood, two, Vaccarog three, Bassog stroke, Simondsg cox, Clark. After getting off to a slow start, the second boat was holding its own against Exeter and was even with them when joe Basso's seat broke in two, thus ruining any chance of winning. In the first boat race our crew got off to a quarter-length lead and managed to keep it up to the last fifth of a mile when Exeter pulled away and won by one length. Both crews rowed against a very strong head wind which made the timing unusually slow. The following Thursday, May 31st, the crew traveled to St. lVlark's School, South- boro, for its final race of the season. With extremely rough water and a heavy head wind both crews were defeated - the first boat by two lengths and the second boat by four lengths. All of the crew members will be returning to school next year with the single ex- ception of Sullivan so we look forward to a successful season. Letters were awarded to the following: Barnes, Basso, Clark, Conant, Dalbeck, Livingstone, Sherwood, Siedler, Simonds, Sullivan, Tillotson, Manager Wood. Don Livingstone was elected Captain for 1947. 5 L 5 A E Intramural Competition For the second consecutive year the Bull lNIeese won the contested Intramural Sports Trophy. Despite the fact that there was no doubt as to the final outcome after the first four sports had been completed, the competition remained strong throughout the season. The guiding genius behind this year's program was hir. Croke. Immediately following the conclusion of Varsity football, a new series of touch football games was initiated. The final count showed Mr. VVhittier's Bull Meese with Bill Allison, jim Stedfast and Doc Savage leading the league. The second place Wildcats, sparked by Arthur Lawson and Don Livingstone, only lost their early lead in the last game of the season. This left the Hawks, sparked by john Swift and Mr. Sawyer in third place, while not even lVIr. Harris, 'ASkip Corwin and Dave Beede could keep the Bull Frogs out of the cellar. This winter the hockey program was greatly curtailed by the lack of ice and pro- fuseness of snow. However, the Bull Meese, led by an outstanding first line of Doc Savage and the two Pike brothers, took full advantage of the short season to come out on top. The assorted talents of Bob Stetson, Don Blodgett and lVIr. Harris could only gain second place for the Bull Frogs. For the VVildcats and Hawks, who finished third and fourth respectively, the outstanding players were Arthur Lawson, Paul Avery, Pete Simonds and John Swift. Again this -year the basketball series was long and spirited because of the curtailed hockey season. The Bull Meese, starring Dick Kingman, Bill Allison and Dave Clark, jumped to an early lead. However, the closing whistle showed hir. Whittier's squad tied with Messrs. Duncan's and Sawyer's Hawks starring Nick Norwood and John Swift. This left the Frogs and Wildcats in joint possession ofthe second berth. These two clubs had such outstanding players as Skip Corwin, Dick Cameron, Don Alcaide and Arthur Lawson. This year's volley-ball was not only very popular, but also skillfully played. As in basketball the Bull Meese got early possession of the lead, only to tie with the Hawks for the final round. Mr. Whittier, Sam Caldwell and Joe Basso starred for the lvleese, and Red Nemrow and Bob Gelotte for the Hawks. The Bull Frogs and VVildcats again tied for sec- ond place. Their stars were Dave Beede, Tom Knight, and Bill Lincoln. The Intramural Rifle Trophy was won by the Bull Meese with a score of 335, Ted Bovey's highest individual score of 96 gained second honors for the Hawks, who beat out the Frogs by only one point with 321. Don Burger starred for the last place Wildcats with a 92. As always, this yearls battle for the Intramural Baseball Trophy was hard fought. The Bull lbleese jumped out front at the start, but soon gave way to the Hawks, who in turn relinquished the honors to Mr. jenney's Wildcats during the closing battle. The Bull Frogs, with jimmy Gill, but no playing coach, remained in the cellar throughout the season. The winners were led by Bob Hodgdon, Don Alcaide, and Spike Howe, while Don Powers, USandy Ferguson, Joe Kittredge and Mr. Croke paced the Meese and Hawks. Numerous times dur- ing the season Messrs. Mallett and Burroughs proved their mettle in their capacity as um- pires. This spring an Intramural Track Meet was inaugurated. It was won by the Wild- cats who featured the all-round runnng ability of Bob Hodgdon. Joe Kittredge's 100-yard dash helped the Hawks to place second.
