P' 4- Cdlrr emurmm Qxlhert jluseph ifnnaielli, Ur. .filfter an illness of hve weeks fllbert Locatelli died on October 10, 1945. 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.
