The Sixth Form Histor With this, our Form history, we hope to keep vividly alive some of the reminiscences of our years at Belmont Hill. The history of our Form begins on an au- tumn day in 1942 when Leigh Quinn and Andy Casner entered the Lower School as members of Class C. This was a memorable year, with the introduction of the Low Bridge Club in Mr. Densmore's cellar and the current fads of yo-yo's and marbles. It was that year of 1942- 43 that the Lower School Commandos spent their afternoons charging over the obstacle course. The rainy day readings also became famous when Mr. Densmore read from the humorous The Real Diary of a Real Boy. The next year saw the addition of Dove Harvey, Winslow Coons, and Fritz Willmann to the senior class D of the Lower School. Our class got off to a fine start when we first had the privilege of classes in Eliot House. In- volved with the confusion of the Hrst day, Mr. Densmore sent Class D to room five for a Latin class. It wasn't until the period was half over that we realized that the square root of 2 had nothing to do with Latin and so adjoumed en masse to room six where we discovered our Latin teacher, Mr. Keller. This also was a memorable year with the class privilege to the Hy-de-ho. Mr. Harris conquered the class with his interesting science course. He made bird walks famous and intro- duced to his class many hair-raising creatures such as the Black Widow spider, poisonous snakes of all kinds, and giant turtles. Mr. Forbes, though, quickly gave Mr. Harris com- petition when he foisted on the class a music appreciationn course and became famous for his Friday moming concerts of such songs as Take My Bridgework Back to Mother, Ra- tion Blues, and Deacon jonesf, Mr. Togneri aroused the artistic talent in the form with his daily art classes. Although very popular with the boys, he was quite a vicious criminal to the parents, whose cleanly clothed children often arrived home with colored spots of paint on their clothes. The annual D Day was spent at the circus this year, much to the sorrow of Mr. Densmore who had Hfteen roaming clowns to look after. Spring brought the water pistols and baseball, with most of the class testing their arms with the blackboard erasers. In this memorable season the miniature Red Sox played a suc- cessful year of baseball, only to have their record marred by the powerful Second Form nme. After two years under the guiding arm of Mr. Densmore we were swept into the rush of the Upper School completely unaware of our new responsibilities. No longer were we forced to wear our raincoats on rainy days, for now we were men. Although we were men, we were no longer the big wheels of the Lower School, but just humble cogs of the Upper School. To accompany us through the grave struggle of the Second Form, Nick Norwood, Frank Dickinson, Bill Allison, Mel Higgins, john Pike, Bob Haig, and Dave Biddle were added to the class. Most Second F ormers are the cause of long discussions in faculty meetings, and we were no exception. In no time at all we had leamed the tricks of the trade and become regular supporters of the Saturday morning sessions. Our delinquency up to this time had been appropriate to our adolescence but now as- sumed amazing proportions when varsity cox Win Coons maneuvered the Belmont Hill crew clear through a Harvard single on the Charles River. It was in this year that the powerful six man football team of the Lower School graduated into the ranks of eleven man football without
