ANGELO TOGNERI 4 In the thirty-four years that Mr. Togneri has been at Belmont Hill he has been a close faculty friend of every Belmont Hill boy and graduate. He has worked under- standingly and in most cases patiently with every sixth for- mer in his panel efforts. As art teacher, wood carver, and friend, Mr. T. has been most able to come into contact with the soul of Belmont Hill--the boys themselves. On the Athletic yields and in the years after graduation Mr. Togneri is a strong supporter of all that is and was Belmont Hill. 5 TABLE CONTENTS FACULTY SENIORS THE SCHOOL 54 ACTIVITIES 60 ATHLETICS 80 LOWER SCHOOL 122 ADVERTISING 31 QE Q BRIEF GLANCES A good time was had by all.

He came to Belmont Hill in 1942 and is now in his second decade of distinguished leadership of the School. As :I conclude my nineteenth year as Headmaster of Belmont Hill, I feel privileged to have helped to build this School to its present high standing and to have contributed something, I hope, toward making this past school year a happy and meaningful one for all its boys and especially for the Class of 1961-an outstanding class by almost any standard.

In the beginning there were fourteen souls: A. Brooks, L. Cass, W. Claflin, G. Demers, R. Dixon, C. Hill, T. Lee, S. Livingston, H. Mosher, D. Price, P. Weiss, W. Hofmann, W. Welch. All were dark and meaningless souls. 2. Yet verily Mr. R. Lounsberry, Gregg did lift the euphoria of peaceful evenings from our innocent minds. Henceforth and forever we had homework. 3. Water Bombs, yoyi and water pistols did reign supreme and many masters were floated away. Verbum Sapintibus quoth the oracle, or your time will be long and bitter. 4. Yea we had much endurance and we were much detained., 5. Hug Mug did tape his fingers to watch them turn blue. Liver watched in horror and shed rivers Nott, Lerner, Scaring, Evans, Keleher, Cass, Cornwall, Lewis, Duncan. Fifth Row: Hurd, Headley, Purcell, Street, Kimball, Leavitt, Lee. Sixth Row: Ross, Higonnet, Gilman, Hennings, Welch, Rowan. Seventlz Row: Livingston, Clark. of Crocodile Tears. 6. Hoffman and Croke didst limp home: Shin the Shins was a much abusing game. 7. We wished to impeach the duly elected class officers. But lo, we did only hide their books behind library shelves. 8. We did wish to get Mosher at the Arch, but he was too big. Verily he did cream us. 9. Bitter was the fifth grade rest. 10. Through the sixth and seventh grades we did pass. ll. Price and Dixon were caught on their hands and knees, gazing reverently at the mark board. The Deacon who caught them thought they were praying and did bestow his blessing. 12. Yea it did seem as the end of the world when the sky fell down in Mr. Greggis class. Then the world itself did fall. And many erasers did exit through the windows. 13. The weasel's tail magically did appear through the hole in the science room door. And Mu- sic Classes were hated. 14. Dorsey did find a broken pheasant egg in his pocket. 15. And amidst Loud Applause, Butterball Bill Hofmann verily did descend through the Study Hall Ceiling. 16. Cage Cat Carr of the Lynn Comets did ap- pear. And W. Welch, the Goalie, did perspire much. 17. Many did revel in the stories of Bill Cowper- thwaite. Little was learned except magic by Merlin the Magi who produced a flattened frog in Moo- Cow's notebook. Oh, how the Cow did bellow and Merlin did do a Disappearing Act. 18. The Iroquois scalped all. Liver, too, was al- most scalped: he could not bear the nature walks. HE: thought truly the scarlet tangerine, a bird, to be a ruit. 19. The Warm Spring did come and the Cow did hold the class outside. Alas, Leavitt and Dorsey were Kicked In. 20. And Mr. Morton was truly astonished when a Crash of Many Books echoed through the Study Hall at exactly Noon. Yea, much of the multitude was detained. 21. ln the Last, many did fiunk the Music, of the Cow, much was grafted from the Store, many went withouttthe Canteen and Crackers, and many more went with Pockets Bulging. Mr. D. did object, but with D-Day the Monkey House cage did open. And we were Men of the Middle School. Chapter ll 1. Yea, over the Hill did tramp much ugliness and Abomination. And many, seeing the Zest of Such a Class, did add unto it. Lo, Meaty were the additions to the Heavenly Host. l 2. .And, Lo! Verily the Wrath of John Henry did strike terror into the Breasts of Many. And the Oracle spake unto us, saying, Verily, verily I say unto you, ye are the Worsej' And we learned with Great Haste that we had come from a wicked Go- morrah, the Monkey House. 3. And verily it came to pass that later one George Demers looked back, and was transformed into a Pillar of Salt. The days of the Study Hall were filled with much Wickedness and Tribulation. 4. Mr. Funkas Sacred Bulls on the study hall walls were sacrificed in many strange and diverse ways, and straightway did he proclaim a Bull Pro- hibiting Such Action, for he was truly inphalabull. 5. And Hill and Demers did sell much Fire and Brimstone unto the people, but it was written that this should not be, and they Fell by the Wayside. 6. Yea, did Mr. Tuplin seek cover to watch in secret from Mr. Downes' office, for many Catapults were brought up against the Seat of Knowledge. 7. Verily did Sam Brown wax wroth, and did pierce the Foot of Jack Cullen with his Blade of Steel, woe to him that should bear the tale unto his parent. 8. This was truly the Year of Tuplin: whose gar- ment was filled with Cockleburrsg who was plagued by Keleheris Lee-Mon Morang Pi on the chart of gathay, and Dorsey's Tuplinski on the Steppes of ussia. 9. And an invisible hand wrote the Name of Rug,' and Punjab,' on the Walls of Elliot, And the Wastepaper-basket burned and was not consumed, but the fiery wrath of Punjab was suddenly extin- guished. And yea, we were Much Detained, all to- gether. Chapter III 1. Lo, the Giraffe from the Ark of Noah arrived and was welcomed, Goalie Rowan also, and once more did Welch perspire mightily, but without Rea- son. 2. Yea, Ethics descended upon our souls like a Dark Mist. 3. David slew Goliath mightily, and nevermore took his repast at Howard Johnson. 4. And before the Multitudes Leavitt was com- pelled to reveal all his Sin: and he spake and con- fessed, and the Multitudes were much amused. 5. The Crew Chariot was driven through the Citadels by the Flying Carpet with much Harsh Sound. 6. And it came to pass that the Eternal Conflict of Goodness and Evil was almost won, but lo, the Lagoon of Despond opened wide and swallowed many, and the perfect record became as a Leaf in an Evil Wind. 7. The Name of the Commencement speaker has perished from the Minds of Men, but the mem- ory of the Persistent Caterpillar has lived immortally. Chapter IV l. Then came the Year of Student Government. Continued on 11029 26 2. And in that year, Peabody was very nearly raised to the Throne, but Price spake Harsh Things against him, prophesying many evil things and Pea- body was called but not chosep. Alas, Price was al- most stoned for speaking against him, but the Clique was merciful Thank Heaven for small favors, saith Price. 3. Power came to a few who ruled mightily over Eliot, but alas, much smoke went up the chimney, and with it went the System, for Mr. Calder looked with a dark eye upon Welch and Lee as Study Hall Entertainers. 4. Much fable arose, and the Names of Gail Zeguran and Sue Farnsworth were sung in All Places, high and low. 5. Wade waxed Eloquent, and extolled the Mer- its of Good Taste before the Multitudes while wear- ing a coat of many colors and other diverse raiments which did not become one another. 6. Revelry became commonplace, and the Courts of the Unruly were filled with rejoices as the Cupids cried out, saying, Verily, Crazy Joe stand- eth upon the corner, and, Come thou, Little Dar- lingf' and the strings of their lutes twangeth and plunketh. 7. A tribute was rendered unto Mr. Duncan in the form of a Camera, yea, Ty Peabody did offer it up with the Words: . . . for all that thou hast, done to us, Sirf' 8. Lo, the prophets Purcell and Street did ar- rive, and put much wisdom before the people, for they were Wise beyond all understanding. Chapter V 1. Toby found fault in grey flannel raiments, and took Football I unto himself. Alas, Alack, lamenteth Coach Preston, Alle1uja, Rejoice crieth Coach Fisher. 2. Many did find repose in the classes of Jack Fisher, yea they slept even as dead men. 3. And Gerard Q. Walworth did put many to shame saying, Hie thee to thy desk, for thou art ovah de cliifln 4. Many did heed the call of the wild and verily did go to Stowe. Many were made merry and so also the mechanics who did subsequently reassemble the un-merry chariot of Peabody. 5. It was resounded that Cortez beeth Heathen and did jump greatly the butterballs, Mr. Cocchiola saith that he did speak well of us, but we doubted anyway. 6. We did journey all of us to the seat of the Capitol of our Commonwealth. We did vieweth in- cognito great wads of sheckles passing from hand to hand on the forum floor. It came to pass that Mr. Fisherls vision was somewhat clouded driving us home. Let ye not let the smoke geteth in thine eyes, we admonished. But it did and many were detained. 7. Cavalier Kimball did venture forth upon a Conquest. And it came to pass that the great warrior was cut mightily by the Saber. And again, and again. 8. The Sixth Form did bid us challenge, and was truly, for it is so, snowed by us. It was a great victory. 9. The Spring cometh and the Emperor didst inquire of our desire Collegiate. Verily we would say unto him our choices. Verily he would laugh. And verily he would tell unto us the cold facts. 10. Herein I returneth thy History Notes, pro- claimeth Jack Fisher. Yet where beeth mine, sire? quoth Eliot Harrington. f'Oh yes, thou hast done well, Eliot, replied Mr. Fisher. To which Eliot sayeth, Eh, eh, eh, kind sir, for verily I hath not given them to thee? 11. A certain Italian of great merry-making planned forth a Prom Party. 12. And from the pen of the Emperor did come epistles to us that sayeth, Look ye not upon the wine that is red. 13. And it came to pass because in truth we all did pass, into the Eden that is our Final Year. Chapter VI 1. In the cold September of that Ultimate Year, for many endeth much hardship, as we were re- quired but four labors, not five. 2. There were forty-seven of these. 3. Many digits did turn yellow, for ours was the pleasure of the Common Room. 4. And unto Euclid did worship once more Kim- ball, Harrington and Scott. Verily a distinguished triangle. 5. And the multitudes did come forth in great numbers to see The Great Pumpkin rise magically from The Patch. 6. Unto the Rally came Victor the Bear. Twixt he and the Emperor it was love at first sight. And lo, Elwell was jealous. 7. Yea, we did chant in reverence the school iight song. Yet many knew other words. Continued on page 158 CARL HENRY AMON III 40 Scotland Road, Reading, Mass.

STUDENT COUNCIL Continuing to maintain student leadership at Bel- mont Hill, the Student Council had a vigorous year. In the fall the Council embarked on a program of in- viting men outstanding in their professions to speak to the student body about their vocations. The nrst speaker in this Career Orientation Series was Gover- nor Foster Furcolo, who discussed law and govern- ment. Other speakers were Dean Chaffee Hall of the Harvard Business School, Mr. Lewis W. Warren of the Lower School who spoke on salesmanship, Dr. Joseph Hayman, Dean of the Tufts Medical School, and Dean Robert B. Stewart of the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy. In October, the school passed an amendment to the School Constitution which revised the election procedure. The major change was the replacement of the indicative listl' of seven candidates with a list of the nominees. To promote student interest and participation in school functions, a Spirit Committee was established under the auspices of the Council. The Spirit Com- mittee encouraged attendance at games and other activities. The Annual Charity Drive received 35702, the largest amount ever contributed to the appeal. Sub- stantial contributions were made to Cancer, Care, United Fund, and Foster Parents Plan. Under the Foster Parent Plan, the school decided to continue its support for Vassilios Getimaglou. Other donations were made to the Jimmy Fund, United Negro Col- lege, Massachusetts Heart Association, Perkins In- stitute for the Blind, Muscular Dystrophy, and the association for Retarded Children. The Council investigated the possibility of the school's receiving milk at lunch, the Administration was sympathetic, and now a half-pint of milk appears at each place. In an effort to improve the Howe Library, the Council organized a Book Drive in the spring. A Library Committee led by Trevor Higonnet com- piled a list of books useful in advanced study and research in English and History. This list was then mailed out to parents and alumni. The Council continued to be responsible for the Howe Study Hall and the Reading Room. Good proctors and cooperative student body minimized disciplinary problems. During the course of the year, the Council also supervised the Crackers and Milk Squad, the Towel Detail, and the Canteen. Litter from the Canteen products was not a major problem because the Stu- dent Body understood that as soon as papers ap- peared, the Canteen would disappear. Handbook revisions were submitted at the end of the year. First Row: Livingston, Welch, Scott, Scaring, Hennings. Second Row: Elwell, Annis, Kimball, Parker, Mr. Maxwell, ATHLETIC COUNCIL The main accomplishment of this year's Athletic Council was the modification of the controversial training agreement. Under the leadership of Chris Scott, president, and Joe Soaring, secretary, the Council decided to discontinue that part of the agreement which forced everyone who wished to compete in Varsity or J.V. sports to sign a pledge stating that he would uphold the agreement. The Council took this action because they felt that the thought that the signed agreement helped to strengthen the resolve of border-line cases had not been born out by events in the three years of its existence. Training violations were few and far be- tween this year as the agreement was finally enforced during the year by the Council. The Council also considered limiting the term of its faculty advisor to three years, strengthening the requirements for school letters, and prohibiting all those engaged in Varsity sports from engaging in other sports outside of School. This year's Welcoming Committee headed by Joe Scaring was most effective in performing its duties of taking visiting teams to their locker rooms and providing refreshments and any other assistance necessary. The Welcoming Committee's task was assumed by a large group of volunteering Upper Schoolers who illustrated the Belmont Hill spirit to a full extent. Participating on this year's Council were: Chris Scott, captain of soccer and tennis, and president of the Council, Toby Kimball, captain of basketball and baseball, Wade Welch, hockey captain, Steve Livingston, captain of crew, Joe Scaring, captain of football and Council secretary, Ken Annis, baseball representative, Bob Elwell, tennis representative, Geoff Parker, president of the Student Council, Jim Hennings, managers representative, and Mr. Max- well, faculty advisor. SEXTANT The presentation of the three issues of the Sextant was particularly successful this year. The magazine maintained high standards in the quality of the ma- terial and its journalistic arrangement. The staff was especially pleased about the fine sketches and photo- graphs contributed by the Sextant Art Board. The staii of the Sextant was headed this year by Frank Purcell '61, who had worked on the magazine through his Junior year. The majority of the work in the magazine was done by the Senior associate editors: Kenneth Annis, William Clailin, Robert El- well, Richard Leavitt, and Tison Street. The younger staff members also made a large contribution to the high standards of the Sextant. These boys are: Carl Casselman, Robert Egan, Michael Nigro, and David Wallace, representing Form Vg Donald Andreson, Stuart Davis, and Peter Shaw for Form IV, and Chris Elwell and Bill Sullivan, representing Form III. The Art Board deserves special credit for its su- perior contributions. Anthony Belluschi '61 headed the Art .Board and did practically all of the sketches for the three issues. John Perry handled the photo- graphy, including both sports shots and artistic con- tributions. John Litvack, the third member of the Art Board will take over as head of the staff next year. The Associate Editors continued to put out the usual features, Short Sightings, which makes editorial comments on happenings around the school, and Sport Scene, which reviews the current athletic sea- son. The Editors followed the cover and title page renovations introduced by last year's staff. The high- light of the season came as the Sextant was awarded a First Place Award by the Columbia Scholastic Press. The Sextant collected 947 points out of a pos- sible 1000. This represents the highest total ever scored by the magazine. The total represents an acknowledgement of the imagination and high jour- nalistic skill of the members of the staif. The.Dwight R. MacAfee Memorial Sextant Prose Prize was awarded this year to Tison Street prima- rily for his comic one act play The Passage of Time, which will appear in the Graduation issue. This year the George von L. Meyer Memorial Poetry Prize went to Richard Leavitt for several of his contributions, including If Poisonous Minerals . . ., Second Genesis, 'fPastoral,,' and Gomorrah Robert Egan was elected from the f1fth Form to head the Sextant stair' next year. The present stall added James Young '63, Jack Reed '64, and George Warren '64 to the list of Associate Editors who will select the material for next year's issues. John Lit- vack will head next year's Art Board. 1 First Row: Perry, Elwell, Claflin, Annis, Purcell, Belluschi, Leavitt, Street. Second Row: Shaw, Cole, Casselman, Nigro, C. Elwell, Mr. Sawyer.

PANEL Volume VIII of the Panel enjoyed the enthusi- astic support of the student body and the adminis- tration, while evidencing sincere dedication to the principles of sound journalism. The value of the paper and its behind-the-scenes activities were set forth most poignantly by Mr. Fredrick C. Calder, faculty advisor, at the annual Panel Banquet. The following are exerpts from Mr. Calder's presenta- tion. The essence of the Panel spirit can only be de- tected in the character of those memorable occasions called Panel Nights Cof which parents are aware be- cause these are the alternate Thursdays when your sons go to school and never come home at alll, those Panel nights when the various editions of this news- paper are born. Panel night under Volume Eight has enjoyed the usual ups and downs, but I have been impressed this year more than ever before with an aura of frenzied activity and variety. Several im- pressions come to mind. Frank Purcell, bent over quantities of copy, me- ticulously counting words to be double checked by Steve Headley, who invariably finishes with an en- tirely difierent totalg Carl Amon and Ronnie Wood- bury making a run for the Reading Express at about 10:30 P.M. only to be halted at the gate by one of the chief's cohorts, who insists that they return to rewrite the punchlineg the terror-stricken faces which appear in the faculty room to half inform, half ques- tion me with 'Sir, Leavitt's disappearedf I think of the unfortunate Fifth Former chosen on a certain evening to extract late copy from over- burdened writers. His task is to use persuasion, and finally coercion to stimulate the writer's imagination, or failing that, his typewriter. It goes something like this: Hello, is Tison there? Clong pausel, Hello, Tison? Have you finished Street-Scene? fthe replyj Well, Ilve started it . . . Tison, have you begun to write? . . . Well, Ilve conceptualized it, I have the idea and thatls the important thingggg Tison when will you have the copy? You've got to have it by 9:30 or I'm finished. And the frenzied Fifth Former puts down the receiver. At this stage I intervene with some soothing remark about the insignificance of life, only to be drenched by a stream of conscious- ness. But Sir, Annis said to get the review of the Modigliani Exhibit from Street right away and I told Annis I wasn't even sure Street had been to the exhibit and he said 'I don't care, we've got to get this column on P. 2g' but Kenny . . . 'I don't care if you have to go to the Exhibit yourself, get that story inf And Sir, if I don't they threatened me with Claiiin and I'll have to count heads for the rest of my life. And so it may go on Panel night . . . . . . All of this is part of the spirit which I associ- ate with this vital part of the Belmont Hill commu- nity. The standards set by Volume Eight have been, I think, the highest ever, their sense of humor and intellectual vigor have been unflinching. And it is my belief that they will recollect their experience with the Panel as one of the most instructive and challenging in their educational careers . . . Volume IX was elected as follows: Editor-in- Chief, James H. Cole, Business Manager, Jeffry A. Lockshing News Editor, James A. Litvackg Feature Editor, Michael F. Nigrog Sports Editor, Mark J.

Second Row: Wilworth, Mr. Richardson SCIENCE CLUB The innovations initiated in 1959 within the Sci- ence Club were carried further under President Leo Cass '61 by the 1960-1961 Science Club. Under the more restrictive entrance requirements, the Club was left, at the completion of the winter term of 1960-1961, with a nucleus of active and dedicated members whose main interests lay in extracurricular scientilic investigation, rather than in weekly amuse- ment hours. There were, however, periods reserved for the presentation of entrance speeches by pro- spective club members and the occasional showing of scientilic iihn-strips and Bell Telephone scientific movies. The one outside speaker to address the Club was Dr. Robley Evans, father of Ronny Evans '61. In preparation for the annual Science Fair, ad- vance reports were submitted in the hope that by thus requiring members to outline their progress to date, no eleventh hour, erector-setl' projects would be put into the Fair. As March 15 and the Fair came, however, most of the 20 prospective en- trants failed to appear. The six projects which were exhibited, though, were of very high quality. The Can't you see it, sir? Hrst prize was won by Leo Cass '61 with an exhibit investigating the qualities of chromosomes in or- chids, with some methods of counting these chromo- somes also demonstrated. Second prize was taken by Larry Willwerth '62, who entered an atomic model, showing the electrons of various atoms. This adjusta- ble atomic model was donated after the fair to the Belmont Hill Science Department. Other entrances included an exhibit on the planet Mars and an at- tempt to create diamonds by the use of a carbon-arc. Officers in this year's Club were President Leo Cass, '61, Vice-President Jeff Dorsey, '61 and sec- retary Randy Nott. In the elections for next year's officers, it was decided that only those who had met the entrance requirements could vote. Under this innovation, Donny Robinson '62 was elected presi- dent and Larry Willwerth, '62 was elected secretary. It was felt that the office of vice-president was non- functional and the post was therefore dropped from the Club. Hopefully, the foundations laid during the past years will aid President Robinson in enlarging and invigorating the Science Club. Cass wins first prize School views exhibits at Science Fair.

LYCEUM During 1960-1961, the Lyceum fully maintained and, indeed, expanded its position in the school. Led by two-term President Jeff Parker, Vice-President Antonio Gilman, and Secretary Robert C. Duncan, and advised by Mr. Roger F. Duncan, the club won a majority of its debates. In the first debate, against Browne and Nichols, the Lyceum was defeated. Belmont Hill, represented by Parker, Gilman, and Duncan, argued the affirma- tive of Resolved: That the Secretary Generalship of the United Nations should be significantly strengthened? They lost, however, when the judges agreed with the Negative that should', was, in ef- fect, identical to would The second debate was won by Belmont in a re- match against B. 8c N. with Stuart Davis, Michael Nigro, and James Cole arguing the Negative of the same topic. Belmont Hill convinced the judges that the Aliirmative's plan of U.N. control of nuclear testing was unsound. In the third debate of the season, Parker, Gilman, and Robert Bell upheld the resolution: That the Federal Government should aid public school di- rectlyl' against Governor Dummer. Their loss, said the judges, was due to their failure to quash the Negative's argument that Federal aid equalled Fed- eral control. The following debate was held at Belmont Hill against Middlesex. Belmont Hill, defending Re- solved: That the Electoral system should be radically alteredj' with Daniel Barnard, Jonathan Petrie, Rod Fernald, and Richard Dixon, succeed in convincing the judges that a direct popular election of Presidents was desirable. l Lyceum President Parker. The final regular debate of the year was held against Milton on Resolved: That the majority is always right? With Parker, Cole, and Duncan up- holding the afhrmative, Milton won in a debate noted for the vagueness of terms, premises, and arguments. The Lyceum concluded its season with the An- nual Banquet. The special feature on this occasion was a debate tournament in which Governor Dum- mer, Noble and Greenough, St. Mark's, and Belmont Hill participated. Debating on the resolution, That the President of the U.S. should be elected by direct popular votej, each school sponsored an affirmative and negative team. With Parker and Gilman arguing the affirmative and Cole and Nigro the negative, Belmont Hill won 4-2. The aiiirmative was unde- feated. In a post-season debate, Belmont Hill drew Brooks in a closely contested debate on Resolved: That the U.N. should be significantly strengthened. Thus the final record of the Lyceum was 6-5-1. Intramurally, the year was the best in the Club's history. Standards for admissions rose, bringing with them an amendment requiring entrance speeches to be judged on quality. Impromptu speaking rose in quality. All in all, the members participated more actively in the Club's affairs than in the past, as can be seen by the increase in the number of debates. Gilman charges Parker with conservatism. Duncan debates. Nigro, Cole, and Barnard were elected President, Vice President, and Secretary for next year. In April, the Lyceum sponsored the Annual Pub- lic Speaking Contest for the Woodbury Prize. M1- chael Nigro won the prize with a vituperative attack upon Socialized Medicine. Also in the finals were Parker and Gilman. ,,Zi.,,,,,,,w.,..,.Q,.a,rw-..W.WW...r,,...wis.ai 4l:Mumme:taifmf:awiat:f: c- r f 1 - DRAMATIC CLUB Under the Direction of Mr. Bertram S. Shapiro, the Dramatic Club presented as its annual Decem- ber production an evening of three one-act plays. The plays presented were A Boy Comes Home, by A. A. Milne, 'CA Sunny Morning,', by Serafm and A Marriage Proposalf' by Anton Chekhov. Mr. Shapiro took on the job of director this year, and he was ably assisted in this job by Richard H. Dixon, president of the club. A Boy Comes Homel' starred Richard Dixon as Philip and Thomas H. Lee as Uncle James. Support- ing roles were taken by Thomas Saliba, as Aunt Emily, Donald Robinson, as Mrs. Higgins, and Peter Maclaurin, as Mary. The play is a comedy concern- ing the events which take place when a boy comes home from the First World War and cannot adjust himself to normal life. His Uncle James dreams that Philip is about to shoot him, but awakes to find his nephew completely acquiescent to his wishes. The second play on the program was HA Sunny Morningj' which starred George Olive, as Donna Laura, and Charles Karelis, as Don Gonzalgo. Sup- porting roles were played by Paul Pietz, as Juanito and William Karelis, as Petra. This drama is the tale of the meeting of two former lovers in a park in Madrid. They do not recognize each other at first, but they gradually come to realize that they were lovers long ago. A Marriage Proposall' starred William H. Cla- flin, the club's treasurer, as Tshubukov, Robert Egan, as Lomov and Prentiss Claflin, as Natalia. The comedy takes place in nineteenth century Rus- sia, and is the story of a comedy of errors centered around the unannounced intention of Lomov to marry Tshubukovis daughter..Natalia does not know this, and she soon regrets the remarks she makes to her would-be suitor. The evening was very successful, and the plays were produced, as usual, by Leo M. Cass and his five stage crew members. It is very encouraging for the future to the club to see the large number of younger boys who took part in this year's production. Donald Robinson was elected president of the club for next year, Thomas Saliba will be Treasurer as well as head of the stage crew. Dixon and Mr. Shapiro discuss the Play.

CUM LAUDE SOCIETY Each year, a small number of Fifth and Sixth Formers are elected to the National Cum Laude Society by the faculty in recognition of their aca- demic excellence. Half of each classis Cum Laude Membership, the top ten per cent of the class, is selected at the close of their junior year. Last year's members, elected from the class of 1961, were Ste- phen Wentworth Carr, Antonio Gilman, Frank Bus- ser Purcell, Curry Tison Street and Ronald Glen Woodbury. This year, from the Class of 1961, five new mem- bers were chosen bringing the total to twenty per cent. They are Carl Henry Amon, Bernard Trevor Higonnet, Richard Perry Leavitt, Thomas Haskell Lee, John Randolph Nott. In addition, James Hillard Cole, Robert Gerard Egan, Michael Francis Nigro, Jr., Peter Mark Sha- piro were chosen from the Class of 1962. Equivalent to the colleges' Phi Beta Kappa, the Society was founded in 1906 and called the Alpha Delta Tau Fraternity, dedicated to the encourage- ment of high ideals of work in secondary school. Election to the Society constitutes a recognition of distinguished scholastic excellence at the preparatory level. A scroll and key are presented to those attain- ing membership. Belmont Hill has maintained a chapter of the Society since 1928. First Row: Wallace, Morrison, Burke, Scott, Rowan, Palmer, Croke. Second Row: Linter, Staflier, Sullivan, Merrill, Livingston, Hall.

Modica is the beginning of a fine choral tradition at Behnont Hill. With a nucleus of only a few returning from last year's club, Mr. Modica reduced the size of the club to twenty, and proceeded to prepare for the annual Christmas concert, held this year with the Lower School in the Chapel. Attendance was excellent at this concert, over- llowing the Chapel as the Upper School Glee Club sang g'Let Us Now Praise Famous Meni' by Wil- liams, t'Jesu, Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiringw, by Bach, and Masters In This Hall by Holst, and also Ye Watchers and Ye Holy Ones by Gilb. The Club then joined the Lower School choir to sing another Holst song, Christmas Day. The high point of the year was a joint concert, sponsored by the Belmont Hill School Parents As- sociation, of the Glee Club with the Harvard Far Eastern Tour Glee Club, on April 21. The two clubs joined to sing Handel's Let Their Celestial Con- certs All Unite. A final concert was held in Chapel in late April as the Club sang f'Were You There, a negro spirit- ual highlighted by the solo of Peter Rowan '61. Lance Palmer provided the solo as the Glee Club then sang Rain on the River. A great deal of credit must be given to Mr. Modica who through his knowledge of music and his understanding patience produced one of Behnont Hillls finest Glee Clubs. President Christopher Scott and Vice-Presidents David Burke and Peter Rowan will be replaced by Lance Palmer as President, Da- vid Wallace as Vice-President, and Wink Willet as Librarian. Glee Club rehearses for Harvard concert. HUMAN ITIES This year an optional, non-credit course in Hu- manities was once again offered to a small number of qualified Sixth Formers. The group reviewed one book a term, and the members met once a week with Mr. Aloian to discuss the reading. Those Sixth Formers who participated in the Humanities class were Ken Annis, Steve Headley, Trevor Higonnet, Sam Hurd, Tom Lee, Frank Purcell, T ison Street, Wade Welch, and Antonio Gilman. The first work discussed was John Milton's Para- dise Lost. A highlight of the first term of Humanities was an evening at the house of Mr. and Mrs. Aloian for the final meeting of the term. The second book which the group read was Ideas in Context, a mixed bag of ideas, notions, and emotions which have moved the minds of men throughout the centuries. The book contains the works of many distinguished authors, including such philosophers as Ortega y Gas- set, Nietzche, John Locke, Ralph Waldo Emerson, and others. The third and final book was The Birth of a New Physics by I. Bernard Cohen. Mr. Cohen explores that aspect of the great scientific revolution which occurred during the Sixteenth and Seventeenth Centuries, which pertains to the founding of a new concept of physics. The Humanities class was smaller this year than it has been in the past, and it was felt that more was accomplished this way. The constant participation on the part of the members was very encouraging, and Mr. Aloian hopes to continue next year with as avid a group.

This was largely due to the return of five members from the previous season. On Sunday, January 22, Belmont Hill defeated Brooks, 3-2, in a tight match. Stephen Carr '61 on second board defeated his opponent handily, while Jonathan White '62 and Lawrence Willwerth '62 eked out close decisions, Trevor Higonnet ,61 and Secretary Antonio Gilman '61 both lost tight games. One week later, Belmont Hill trounced Middle- sex, 5-O. Carr won a tight game on first board against Middlesex Captain Bill Weld. Gilman mated his op- ponent without trouble on second board, while White and Willwerth won close games in the third and fifth spots. Higonnet picked up his opponentis queen on the sixth move and had no trouble there- after on fourth board. On Sunday, March 5, Belmont Hill defeated Mil- ton, 3-2. Missing its first board player, Steve Carr, Behnont Hill missed defeating Milton by a far more decisive score, since Milton had been blanked by Middlesex. Higormet, Gilman, and White on the first three boards quickly obtained decisive advantages. President William Clafiin '61 and Willwerth on the fourth and fifth boards obtained but lost leads and were defeated. On April 16, Behnont Hill again edged Brooks in a rematch at North Andover, 3-2. Although Carr and White on first and fifth boards lost close deci- sions, wins on the middle boards by Higonnet, Gil- man, and Willwerth proved enough to clinch the victory. Brooks was by far Belmont Hill's toughest opposition. On May 7, Belmont Hill overcame Roxbury Latin, 3-2. Although Willwerth was mated in four- teen moves on fifth board, Carr and Higonnet, on the first two boards respectively, defeated the oppo- sition. White and Gilman drew their matches on fourth and third boards, due to the former's loss of a rook in the end game and the latter's lead of only two pawns at the end of two hour's play. 1-Iigonnet and Gilman plot chess tactics. In the final match of the season, Belmont Hill swept pass a revamped Middlesex team, 4M-M. Higonnet and Willwerth easily defeated their oppo- nents on second and Iifth board, while Gilman and White won drawn games thanks to their adversaries' mistakes. Carr drew with the formidable Weld. Although the Chess Club will never have been defeated going into the 1962 season, the prospects look rather dim. With only White and Willwerth re- turning from this year's team, the club will have to rely chiefly on new talent from the lower forms to bolster their chances. A I First Row: Victor.

SPIRIT COMMITTEE This year eight Sixth Formers organized the Spirit Committee in an attempt to alleviate a problem which has beset the school in recent years-namely, the lack of interest shown by the students in regard to Belmont Hillls athletic and extracurricular events. This year's committee hopes that it at least made a start in increasing school spirit. The Spirit Committee was formed at the beginning of the school year. Its members included Robert Elwell, who was elected chairman, Chris Scott, Ty Peabody, Eliot Harrington, Richard Dixon, Joseph Scaring, Stephen Carr, Geoffrey Parker, and George Keleher. During the fall, the committee put up posters which publicized the coming games and which urged every one to attend. On the Friday afternoon pre- ceding the opening contests of the season, the Com- mittee held a rally in the gym. The starting players on the football and soccer teams were introduced to the spectators, movies were shown, and the rally ended with four cheers. The Spirit Committee also organized and ran the annual Friday Night rally before the final fall con- tests. The captain and coaches of each team made a speech, refreshments were served, and the bonfire was set off. However, the highlight of the evening was the appearance of the then unnamed school mascot, a bear. Arthur Brooks '62 subsequently won the contest to name the bear with his entry Victor the Bear. This entry earned him a coupon worth 13? when redeemed at the canteen. ln the winter and spring terms the Spirit Commit- tee continued to put up posters, and Victor dazzled the spectators with his skating and basketball exhi- bitions. The members also urged students to attend extracurricular events and sold tickets to the play and to the Glee Club concert at Harvard. In the spring, the Committee drew up its consti- tution which states its purposes and the procedures for electing new members. Richard Birnie, Daniel Barnard, Eric Bradlee, Arthur Brooks, Carl Cassel- man, William Lynch, Donald Robinson, David Wal- lace, Wink Willet, and William Ross all of the class of 1962 were elected to next year's Spirit Committee.

If we exam- ined our athletic record over the years, with the above as the sole Creation, I wonder if we could not pick out a boy, or a group of boys, who attempted to carry out the meaning of this proverb. Perhaps it is something that the coaches of future Belmont Hill teams should attempt to in- still in every member of their squad. Maynard W.

FOOTBALL The 1960 Varsity football season started with high hopes as an exceptionally large turnout was greeted by coach Fisher. Returning were a corps of lettermen from last year's team led by Captain Joe Scaring plus several promising members of the J.V. team. The Varsity backfield was strong in ability and depth. Captain Scaring was the blocking back in the team's single wing ollense. Bill Lynch, Ken An- nis, and Doug MacLean saw plenty of action at wingback while Geoff Bartol improved with every game at fullback. The workhorse of the team was tailback Ty Peabody, who was the primary ball car- r1er. In the line there was evidenced aggressiveness and determination. Toby Kimball and Steve Living- ston proved to be two very capable ends. At tackle there were Doug Hall, Jon Smith, and Bill Herron. Eric Bradlee, Pete Rowan, Wade Welch, and Dave Burke were the guards, while Bill Croke and George Keleher worked at center. The season itself witnessed three ties out of seven games. And of the other four games two were de- cided by one touchdown. The season could right- fully be termed an exciting one. The very Hrst game with Milton was to typify the season with its thrilling moments. Milton opened the scoring, taking a 6-0 lead, only to have the Hillies roar back and take an 8-6 lead at halftime. In the second half, the time running of Lynch and Peabody presented a well balanced attack which tallied twice more to Milton's once to gain Belmont Hill a first game victory, 22-14. Peabody scored all three touch- downs in the victory. In an even more exciting game the Varsity tied Nobles, 22-22. As a result of touchdowns by Pea- body, Kimball, and Annis and four extra points by Kimball, the team had built up a 22-14 lead. How- ever, With only forty seconds remaining in the game Coach Fisher. Nobles tallied on a pass play. On the crucial con- version try a short pass found its mark, and the game ended in a tie. Jay McCormick of St. Mark's scored five touch- downs in the next game to personally lead his team to a 38-18 triumph. Again the Hill offensive shone, but the defense could not contain the hard-driving and elusive St. Markis backs. Ken Annis scored twice for Belmont on pass plays while Peabody tal- lied on a short run. The defense again proved to be the team's undo- ing in the Groton game which ended in a 12-12 tie. The team had built up a 12-0 lead at halftime, but Groton came on strongly in the second half to tie the score. The game ended with Belmont on the Groton eight yard line. In the next game the team was really up for the annually rugged contest with B 8z N. The team was rewarded for their efforts with a bruising 25-6 victory. The most exciting game of the season was played the following week, against Middlesex. It was a see- saw battle all the way. The Hill opened the scoring on a pass from Peabody to Kimball. Middlesex tal- lied after a sustained drive of 68 yards. With seven minutes to go in the game, Middlesex again scored to lead 14-6. However, the Hillies fought back and scored on a Peabody to Annis pass. This same com- bination tallied the extra points to earn the tie. In the final game of the year, Governor Dummer defeated the Varsity, 24-14. Two fine Dummer backs proved too much for the Hill defense. Living- ston and Annis scored for Belmont.

Second Row: Manager Wilson, Maxwell, Amon, Clark, Woodbury, Price, Claflin, Coach Preston. SOCCER While the record of this season's Varsity soccer team was not very impressive, the team nevertheless Coach Preston. was certainly better than this record would lead one to believe. With only three wins against nine losses, the campaign was the worst statistically in coach Frederick B. Preston's tenure as coach. Two of these victories came in the Private School League, ena- bling the team to take sixth place in the league. At the commencement of practice Mr. Preston greeted only six returning lettermen and about twenty Varsity hopefuls. It was evident that the coach faced a lack of experienced players. It was this very aspect that plagued the Huskies through the first part of the season along with a mysterious inability to score. Coach Preston sprinkled his vet- erans throughout the fullback, halfback, and line positions. Captain Chris Scott anchored the half- back line, while Sam Hurd saw considerable full- back duty. Ron Woodbury switched between games to both of these positions. In the line Wink Willett, Brad Dewey, and Hank Amon were expected to do the most scoring. Amon occasionally played fullback and halfback as well. However, the keynote of the season was to be the team's exceptional spirit. With the exception of a very few games, the team maintained constant drive and came 'up' for most of the games. This character- istic was demonstrated in the very lirst game against Milton, a squad that was eventually to tie with Brooks for the league title. Milton showed up the Hill's inexperience by tallying four goals in the iirst half. After a halftime talk on their 'shorti game, the team came on to play inspired and sophisticated soccer. In the third period Wink Willett and Hank Amon scored goals, and early in the fourth frame Bob Duncan scored. However, this startling come- back was halted by Milton, who recovered from the Hillies' sudden surge, and Milton emerged the vic- tors. In their second contest, against Lawrence, the Huskies were victorious, 2-1. This victory, how- ever, was disappointing from the Belmont view- point. The team failed to capitalize on numerous breaks and played a ragged defensive game. The two Hill goals came in the last period as did the Lawrence tally. Tom Werman scored on a corner kick, only to have Lawrence tie the game shortly thereafter. Brad Dewey scored from directly in front of the net to give Behnont the victory. After this game it was obvious that the team would have to make some important adjustments if it was to have a successful season. The Tabor hex again halted the Hill in their next outing. Coach Preston has yet to beat a Tabor team, the only squad on the schedule of which this can be said. Domey of Tabor played havoc with the inex- perienced defense as he slid through for three goals. John Perry scored the loan Hill goal after it was evident that Tabor would be the victor. lt was in the Groton game that the lack of a scoring punch was most evident. The Huskies controlled play and had numerous scoring chances but were unable to tally. Meanwhile Groton cashed in on their relatively few scoring thrusts with four sharp scores. However, this game and the next proved that you cannot win a soccer game on spirit alone. Willett traps the ball against Governor Dummer. Captain Christopher Scott. In probably their best effort of the season, except scoring, the team was defeated by St. Marks 1-0. Excellent defensive play marked both sides as the game ended in regulation time with the score knotted at O-0. Earlier St. Marks had missed on two penalty shots. In the overtime a penalty was called on Belmont and a penalty kick was awarded St. Marks. This time they made it good. After several line changes the team was defeated by a strong Lincoln-Sudbury club 4-2. Captain Chris Scott scored two penalty kicks to give the Varsity their only scores. Against Medford the squad produced their best offensive effort of the season only to lose their fifth straight game, 5-3. The defense witnessed two lapses, and Medford turned these into scores, but otherwise they played a fine game. Tim Claflin scored twice on close up shots and Brad Dewey once 'for the Hillies. A final rally was futile in this game. In the next two games the Hill team faced their cellar dwelling rivals, Browne 84 Nichols and Noble 84 Greenough. If the team was to make anything of the season it had to be in these games. As it turned out, the team won both games on fine efforts. Against B 8: N on the huge Harvard soccer field the team's short game clicked. The team missed several excel- lent opportunities, but Bob Duncan was able to score to give Belmont a 1-1 halftime tie. In the second half solid defense and a crazily rolling ball that scored gave Behnont the win. Against Nobles on a mud soaked field the Huskies sloshed their way to a 2-0 victory. Captain Chris Scott scored on a pen- Continued on page 88 Continued from page 87 alty kick and Bob Duncan on a 'head' for the Hill's goals. These two triumphs gave the Hillies sixth place in the league. Sandwiched between these wins was a loss to a strong Andover team, 6-0. The high point of this game was the fact that the Hill defenses, improving with every game, held Andover scoreless in the sec- ond half. The Brooks game was the most one sided of the season as Belmont completely controlled the game. However, it was the same old story of the failure to score. In the first period Brooks was able to get the ball near the Hill goal only once. In the second pe- riod a defensive lapse enabled Brooks to score and to win, 1-O. In the final game of the year the Hillies were un- able to come 'up' as they had done so many times before, and Governor Dummer defeated them, l-O. The game was played on a mud soaked field which hampered both teams. After a scoreless first half, the Governors were able to score in the third period on a shot into the corner. This loss marked the third time that the team had been defeated by a 1-0 score. Had the team started the season after these games were over the result would unquestionably have been much better. For it was not until the final games that the team started to play consistently as a unit with a vastly improved defense. Nevertheless, this team will be remembered for its spirit.

HOCKEY When asked to say a few words about this year's Varsity Hockey team at the pre-tournament banquet at Lawrenceville, Coach Gerard Walworth predicted, 'fWe might not be good but we'll be awfully sneaky. This prediction turned out to be quite apt, for in the process of compiling an unimpressive 9-8 record the team snuck off not only with a surprising 3rd place finish at Lawrenceville, but also with a tie for the Private School League with St. Mark's and Middle- sex. In the opening game of the season, played at Lawrenceville, the lightly regarded Hill Varsity up- set second seeded Taft, who had previously defeated the Princeton Freshmen, by a 2-0 score. For two periods Taft dominated the play, but a determined Belmont defense was able to hold the bigger team scoreless. Early in the third period, J on Smith tallied for Belmont on a pass from Price. Then, with only a minute to go and Taft applying the pressure, Smith picked up a loose puck and drove it home to insure the victory. That same evening the team met Nichols School of Buffalo in the semi-finals. Nichols jumped to a 1-0 lead in the first period and threatened to add to it constantly. Until late in the third period it seemed as if this lone goal would be enough, as the tired Hill team was unable to mount any real scoring threat. However, Ty Peabody soloed at 1:38 of the final session to force the game into overtime. After a tive minute sudden death period failed to break the dead- Coaches Walworth and Boocock. lock, the game was decided by simultaneously penalty shots taken by one player from each team. Unfor- tunately, the result of this bizarre ending was a heart-breaking 2-1 loss for Belmont. On the following day the team came from behind twice to defeat St. Mark's for third place. Ty Pea- body played the hero's role in this uphill fight as he knotted the score 2-2 with only 38 seconds left in the game and then converted a penalty shot after a sudden death over-time failed to break the tie. Returning from Lawrenceville with high hopes for an outstanding season, the team met with dis- appointments. First and foremost of these was an 8-0 clobbering at the hands of an overpowering St. Sebastianls six. Of this loss not much can be said except we should have stayed in bed. Morever, the third period jinx that was to plague the team in four of the next five games first appeared in this game. The Varsity rebounded from this fiasco to pin a 2-1 loss on a strong.Middlesex team in a crucial league encounter. Middlesex opened the scoring midway through the first period, but Dick Birnie equalized for Belmont in the second stanza and the game was forced into sudden death overtime. Then, after 55 seconds of this overtime period, Elliot Har- rington broke the deadlock to give the Varsity the win. The next three games, all non-league contests, were disasters for the Hill team. First, Behnont High scored two goals in the final three minutes to over- take the Varsity, 2-1. Then a Deerfield powerhouse, which had copped first place at Lawrenceville, ex- ploded for four goals in the last period to smash the Varsity, 6-0. The sting of this loss was compounded by a back injury to Rob Elwell in practice the follow- ing day, losing him to the team for the rest of the Captain Wade Welch. season. In the final and worst game of this slump, Groton scored four goals in the last seven minutes to hand Belmont a 5-3 defeat as sloppy defensive work wasted two goals by Price and one by Harring- ton. However, on the Saturday following the Groton game all these disappointments were forgotten as Continued on page 92 Harrington tries to hammer the puck home. Continued from page 91 the team overpowered Milton, 6-2. Jon Smith and Dick Birnie led the way with two goals each, and Peabody and Livingston added single markers as the team posted its second win against no losses in the league. Following this morale boosting win, the team journeyed to Andover only to bow, 4-1, to a team that was to go undefeated in schoolboy competition. Belmont simply could not match Andover's depth and experience, and only Bob Duncan's goal on a slick assist from Bill Morton and Captain Welch's 34 saves kept the game from turning into a rout. A return to home ice failed to bring better results as Exeter's three goal second period enabled them to defeat the Varsity, 4-2. Although the visitor's superior depth eventually proved too much for the undermanned Hillies, Belmont put up a splendid tight as first liners Peabody and Price both hit for goals on assists from Birnie, filling in for injured Elliot Harrington. A return to league competition following these two losses brought mixed results. First, a balanced attack by the first two lines paced the team to its third consecutive league victory, a 7-3 trouncing of Brooks. Peabody led the way with a three goal hat trick, while Duncan and Mills each chipped in two and Aldie Harrington one as the team achieved its highest goal production of the year. However, the rematch with St. Mark's on the following Wednes- day proved to be a bitter disappointment for the Hill as only Dewey was able to dent the nets and St. Mark's triumphed by a 3-1 margin. This loss Peabody scores against Belmont High goalie. ended all hopes for an undefeated league record. The next game with Noble and Greenough was the turning point of the season as the team had to win to keep its hopes for a share in the league title alive. After almost two periods of scoreless hockey, Nobles tallied while Belmont was two men shy and they protected this margin until late in the third period. However, Elliot Harrington's tremendous two goal effort in the last four minutes turned a 1-0 deficit into a 2-1 victory. Belmont's determination and strength in the clutch were the deciding factors Team poses after Larenceville victory. in this contest between two superbly matched teams. The championship-hungry Hillies continued their winning ways on the following Saturday as Browne and Nichols was victimized by a 4-1 count. Elliot Harrington's two goals and Jon Smith and Brad Dewey's singles supplied the necessary firepower. Now only Governor Dummer stood in the way of a tie for the league title. Because of inclement weather, the crucial Dum- mer game was played at Andover. There the Varsity ran into an inspired Governor sextet aiming for a big upset. Dummer jumped to a 2-O lead early in the first period, but Behnont fought back as Dick Birnie and Dave Mills capitalized on passes from Dewey and Peabody. Then, at 2:55 of the second stanza, Birnie, winner of the Wyman W. Smart, Jr., Hockey medal for the greatest improvement, netted the eventual winner. In the hnal period the Governor's mounted rush after rush in a frantic attempt to knot the score, but Belmont's defense, spearheaded by Goalie Wade Welch, preserved the victory. Behnont's newly crowned co-champions con- cluded the season the next day with their fourth Goalie Rowan saves. 93 consecutive win: a 4-0 rout of Rivers. Elliot Har- rington swelled his season's total to 11 goals with a hat trick, and Dave Burke scored his first of the year as the team upped its season marks to 9-8. As the record will show, this year's team lacked the super-stars of previous years and their tremen- dous scoring punch. Yet, crucial goals by Peabody, Harrington, Mills, and Birnie, strong defense by Liv- ingston, Smith, Price, Dewey, and Bartol, and the solid backbone of Captain Wade Welch in the goal produced many important victories. Much credit should go to coaches Walworth and Boocock for moulding an inexperienced outfit consisting of only six returning lettermen into a hustling unit which improved steadily under their coaching as the sea- son progressed. And a special pat on the back should be given to Pete Rowan, who played little but con- tributed so much. J on Smith was elected to captain next year's team by the fourteen lettermen: Capt. Welch, Captain- elect Smith, Bartol, Birnie, Dewey, Duncan, A. Har- rington, E. Harrington, Livingston, Mills, Peabody, Price, Rowan, and excellent manager, Dan Barnard.

BASKETBALL Although narrowly failing to capture for the fourth consecutive year the New England Class UB cham- pionship, this year's Varsity Basketball team, build- ing on records of past years, ran up a record-break- ing win streak of fifty-five straight games. This broke Winchester High Schoolis 1956 record of fifty-three consecutive wins. In addition, this year's team also won the Private School League for the fourth straight year. The starting team of this year's squad consisted of live seniors. The team was paced by Captain Toby Kimball. Kimball, besides averaging close to thirty points per contest, gave Belmont important control of the backboards game after game. The two other major contributors in the scoring department were forward Ron Woodbury and guard Ken Annis. Hank Amon, the quarterback of the team, and forward Steve Carr, while scoring their share of points, were the defensive specialists. This year's squad was blessed with a strong bench which allowed Coach Croke to rest his starters frequently while not letting the attack suffer. Senior Bill Croke and Sophomores Doug Amon and Doug MacLean paced this bench, followed by Ron Druker, Jim Hennings, Sam Hurd, and Joe Scaring. In accordance with its overpowering rebounding strength and timely shooting, the Varsity met with many different defenses. Milton and others used an all court press. Browne 8: Nichols used a five man zone on Kimball alone. Brooks stalled the game by not shooting. However, on no occasion was an op- posing team successful in forcing the local quintet to play on its terms. Except on rare occasions, all the opposition got was one shot at the basket before losing possession of the ball. l l Coach Croke. In the iirst game of the season, the team com- pletely outclassed an inexperienced Rivers squad as the visitors tumbled, 86-18. Coach Croke gave all the first year players valuable experience in this game. Milton provided Belmont with their toughest league contest, bowing on Belmont's home court, 91-60. The score is deceptive, however, because Milton led at the end of the lirst period after demon- strating a phenomenal shooting average. But in the second half Belmont scored 24 points while holding Milton scoreless. This broke the game wide open. Kimball was the high scorer with 33 points. In their Iirst away game of the year, the team easily beat Noble 8: Greenough, 73-48. Belmont took an early first quarter lead and was never headed as Kimball pumped in 27 points. In the next three home games against St. Mark's, Middlesex, and Governor Dummer, the Hillies scored three more victories although they did suffer a brief scare from Dummer before conquering them, 80-61. Kimball tallied 93 points in these three games while Ken Annis chipped in with 59. Groton was given a better than even chance of upsetting the Hill in the next game, but both teams played below par with Belmont winning, 51-34. Kimball, Annis, and Woodbury with 19, 16, and 14 points respectively were the high scorers. Continued on page 96 Captain Toby Kimball Woodbury grabs for the ball. 95 Toby tries to pick off a rebound. Continued from page 95 A sharp-shooting St. Sebastian's quintet fell by an 84-6l count. After a close lirst half, Belmont pulled ahead in the second half, paced by the shooting of Kimball and Annis. In the next two games, Behnont saw some weird defenses and offenses, but overcame Brooks, 88-45, and B 8: N, 84-53. In the B 8c N game, all live of the Black Knights massed around Kimball, leaving the other four players free for short jump shots. Woodbury came through with 22 points in this game. Winning their frfty-first straight game and nearing the record, the team trounced St. Paul's, 78-45. Capt. Kimball played one of his best games as he tallied 33 points and pulled down countless rebounds. Nobles was next to fall by a 94-45 score. Four of the five starters hit for double figures in the triumph. St. George's was stopped, 51-34, as the team equalled the state win record. Both teams got off to a slow start, but as usual, Kimball came through with a late rush, scoring 27 points. In the final two games of league play, the team defeated St. Mark's and Brooks by scores of 76-46 and 64-48 respectively. The first of these victories established a new win record. In the annual Cap- tains' game, the Hilltoppers won handily over the less organized captains by a 77-46 score. Kimball and Annis had 26 and 22 points respectively. For the fourth consecutive year, the team was entered in the New England Tournament as a Class B private school. In the semi-final round they faced an undefeated Tabor quintet, a team with three tall boys. In the first half, the lead switched back and forth, but Behnont managed to take a 30- 25 half-time lead. In the third quarter, both teams played deliberate, sure shot basketball as Belmont Toby dips and shoots. 96 Six foot seven Kimball sets it up. Amon scores. upped its lead to six points. With live minutes and fifty-six seconds left, Tabor received a big break when Capt. Kimball fouled out after scoring 21 points and snaring 29 rebounds. Despite this handi- cap, the locals managed to keep the lead with foul shots by Amon and Annis and by freezing the ball for five minutes. With 56 seconds left in the game the team held a six point lead. However,. Tabor's height hnally took charge, and the men from Marion narrowed the lead down to just one point with just eleven seconds left. Belmont lost the ball on an er- rant pass, and Bill Fentonas buzzer beating layup ended the Hillls win streak at 55. Lettermen Captain Kimball, C. Amon, D. Amon, Annis Carr.

WRESTLING Tough competition, and the loss of seven of last year's top scorers, combined to give this year's wres- tling team one of its roughest seasons. In the final count, the record was two matches won, one tied, and nine lost, the latter mostly by significant margins. In battle with strong, Needham High, the team suffered a humiliating defeat: six men were pinned, four lost decisions, and only one of the Hill's grap- plers, Captain Andy Cornwall at 167, managed to pin for Belmont. The score: 5-42. With the Wellesley team, the record was even more upsetting. Seven Hill matmen were pinned, three lost in decisions, and again, only Cornwall pinned, to make the score 5-44. Once more, in the Nobleis match, Belmont's margin of defeat was far greater than in the tight matches of last year. Because of the results of previ- ous matches, no victory was expected, but the num- ber of Hill scorers was disappointing. Only Jerry Diamond C127J, Tim Claflin 0213, and George McConnack C1105 scored for Belmont, while four Hill men were pinned, and the rest lost by decisions. The final score was 9-32. The Governor Dummer contest, again was a dis- appointment. Many, if not all, Hill wrestlers were in better positions when they were unexpectedly re- versed and pinned. Only two Hillers scored: Art Brooks C1385 with a pin and Tim Clafiin H213 with a decisiong six Hill men were pinned, giving the Dummers the edge, 8-39. In the B 8: N match, the results seemed to forecast better things to come. In one of the closest, but nevertheless decisive, matches, Belmont overtook a Coach Jordon. perennially strong Brown 84 Nichols team, 25-24. George McCormack C1105 and Tim Claflin C1215 won decisions, .Terry Diamond C 1275, Arthur Brooks C 1385, and Andy Cornwall C 1675 pinned, while Steve Headley C1475 and George Keleher C1575 tied their opponents. It proved to be the most interesting of the Hill matches. Against the usually weak Rivers team, the Hill matment rolled up their most decisive margin of victory, 35-15. For the first time, Belmont pinned seven wrestlers, winning eight of the eleven bouts, only Keleher C1575 and Bill Herron CUNL5 fell to Rivers pins. The remaining Rivers points were awarded through a BHS forfeit. With the Rivers meet, the Jordanmen had ex- tended their winning streak to two, and they wished to continue in the Roxbury match. As it came out, a single forfeit in the 115-pound class turned the tide to defeat. The Roxbury contest, nevertheless, was close right down to the end. In the matches, Behnont and Roxbury were about even. Hill men took the 110, 121, 127, 147, and 177 pound classes while Roxbury captured the 133, 138, 157, 167, and UNL classes. The forfeit broke the delicate balance: 23-26. Signs of a brighter season were again dampened by a defeat at the hands of powerful St. Mark's. A forfeit C1155 and two decisions by Headley C1475 and Cornwall C1675 were the only points garnered by Belmont. Six Hill grapplers were pinned and two lost decisions to bring the score to ll-36. A defeat was suffered against Brooks. Facing one of the weakest teams in the league, Belmont suc- cumbed, 16-3l. Bad luck seemed to run through the whole program. Captain Cornwall was unable to wrestle in this and the final four meets because of a knee injury. Hill wrestlers were pinning all the way Captain Andrew Cornwall. until they themselves were unexpectedly. reversed and pinned. McCormack Cl105, Claflin C1215, Brooks C1385, and Furcolo C1775 all won their matches, but four Hill men were pinned, one match was forfeited, and the rest of the points disappeared in decisions. In the St. George's match, another certain Hill victory was lost through a forfeit by Cornwall. Bel- Continued on page 100 Wrestling bench cheers Claflin on. Continued from page 99 mont's matmen tied St. Georgels in matches, taking the 115, 121, 127, 138, and UNL decisions, while St. George's took the 133, 157, 167, and 177 classes. The 110-pound bout ended in a tie as did the meet, 23-23. The Milton contest was highlighted by two Bel- mont forfeits, and the result reflected this. For Bel- mont, McCormack C1103 pinned, while Brooks C 1383 and Rochlin C1153 won in decisions. Four Hillers lost in pins and four by decisions, making the score 11-32. In the last match of the season, Belmont did bet- ter, but failed to capture the expected victory over Lawrence Academy. This was probable again due to forfeits in the 147 and 167-pound classes. Jerry Diamond C1273 and Art Brooks C1383 pinned, Roch- lin C1153 won a decision, while Furcolo C1773 tied. But the initial success was oilset by four pins and three decisions for Lawrence. With Headley and Cornwall wrestling, the meet might have turned out differently from the linal 15-31 score. Top scorers this year were Brooks C1383 and Claflin C1213, both tied with a 7-5 record. Brooks pinned 6 out of 7 wins, and the matches he lost were usually tight decisions. Claflin pinned 3 times and won easy decisions in the remaining four successesg he held the seasonis record for the quickest pin, subduing his St. George opponent in 36 seconds. Other wrestlers with promising possibilities for next year are George McCormack C1103 with a 6-1-5 record and Jerry Diamond C1273 with an even 6-6 record. Clailin tries a reverse. Crusher Brooks The Wrestling Trophy, awarded annually to the boy making the greatest contribution to the sport, this year was presented to Captain Andy Cornwall.

BASEBALL In a season filled with ironies and disappointing late inning losses, the Varsity baseball team finished the season tied for fifth in the Private School League. The team was unable to come up with key hits and vital defensive actions to support the usually strong pitching which they received during the season. l Coaches Croke and Aloian. In the opening game of the season, Belmont Hill was soundly defeated by Groton, 10-2. Unable to come up with an effective pitcher, Coach Croke re- sorted to using five different hurlers, Hank Amon, Dave Mills, Ron Druker, Capt. Toby Kimball, and Steve Carr Cin order of appearancel. In the field, Belmont hurt themselves with four untimely errors. At the plate, the Hillies were struck out fifteen times. The lone Belmont runs scored in the eighth inning when Captain-elect Bill Lynch tripled with men on second and third. Dropping their second straight game, the Varsity met a strong Boston Technical High squad. The Crokemen were blanked by the score of 7-0. While the opponents had nine hits and excellent pitching, Belmont had only three safeties and weak pitching. Breaking out of their early season slump, the Var- sity playing at home, whitewashed Rivers, 17-O. Throwing hitless ball for the first half of the game, Hank Amon gave up only three hits to the visitors. The entire team exploded from the batting slump, as eight of the nine starters connected for hits. They scored seven runs in the first two innings and added tallies in every other frame. Playing at Middlesex, Belmont lost its second league contest, 2-1. Scoring in the second inning on a single by Doug Amon, a sacrifice bunt by Hank 102 Amon, and a run producing single by Steve Carr, the visitors maintained the one run lead on the strength of the fine pitching of Hank Amon. A clutch double play in the bottom of the sixth temporarily saved the game for Belmont. With a man on third and one out, Middlesex attempted a suicide squeeze play, the bunt was a pop-up to Hank Amon who Hred to third to catch the runner off base. The in- ability to supply support to the pitcher lost this game for Belmont, in the last inning with men on first and third, a triple for Middlesex ended the game. In their third league game, Belmont lost another close one, this time to St. Mark's, 4-2. Pitching in tough luck again, Hank Amon allowed only five hits. But again, the failure of the Hillies to connect with key hits lost the game. The main problem was the leaving of men on base, twelve runners were stranded during the afternoon. St. Mark's scored three runs in the last time at bat to win the game. Playing the Harvard Freshmen BU team, the Var- sity was downed 18-7. Scoring the majority of their runs on walks and errors in the opening three in- nings, the Freshmen jumped to an early lead. How- ever, when Ron Druker came in to pitch in the fourth, he held the visitors to two runs on two hits. The home team tried to even the score, but the at- tempt came too late. Hosting the Browne and Nichols team, the Croke- men won their first league victory. The strong pitch- ing of Hank Amon and the hitting of Capt. Toby Kimball and Captain-elect Bill Lynch paced the team to the 11-2 victory. Continued on page 104 Captain Toby Kimball. A new look at the baseball team. Kimball snags one at first Continued from page 103 Led by the hitting of Toby Kimball, the Varsity streaked to their second league victory, 15-10 over Milton. The game was highlighted with nineteen hits, twelve walks, and eleven errors, it was a regular slam blast battle. Playing the ultimate league champions, Belmont Hill defeated Governor Dummer, 7-4. Pitching in his first victory, Dave Mills gave the team its third league win. The seesaw battle finally resolved in the fifth, when Toby Kimball lashed out a double with the bases loaded. Belmont fully capitalized on all of Governor Dummer's seven errors. The weak pitching which had plagued the team at the beginning of the season, returned for the Noble and Greenough game. Traveling to Dedham, Belmont was swamped, 19-l. After the Varsity scored their lone run in the first inning, the home team took advantage of poor control and numerous errors to score their I9 runs. In one of the most exciting games of the season, the Hillies defeated St. Sebastianis, 12-10. Losing 10-4 in the sixth inning, the Hilltoppers scored 3 in the sixth and 3 in the seventh to even the score. Go- ing into extra innings with men on second and third, Ken Annis laid down a suicide bunt which, on a freak play, scored both runs. When St. Sebastianis had loaded the bases in the bottom of the eighth, relief pitcher Amon retired the side for the win. In their last league game, the Varsity evened their record at 4-4 by defeating Brooks, 5-4. The game was a pitched battle between the two teams in that as soon as one scored, the other would retaliate and even the count. Belmont won in the last inning when Doug Amon doubled and scored on a passed ball. Somebody is safe as the Rivers catcher drops the ball. In a post-season game at Governor Dummer's commencement, the Hilltoppers were overpowered, 10-0. The Governors maintained a steady barage of hits on Pitcher Hank Amon. Letters in Baseball were awarded to: Capt. Kim- ball, Captain-elect Lynch, C. Amon, D. Amon, An- nis, Birnie, Carr, McLean, Mills, Price, Woodbury, and Managers Egan and Lockshin.

CREW Overcoming numerous shakeups in the make-up of the first four boats, this year's Varsity crew under the leadership of Steve Livingston finished the sea- son with one of the finest crew records in the history of the sport at the school. The season was success- fully capped with the second boat tieing Exeter for first place at Quinsigamond, and the first boat taking a third behind South Kent and Exeter. In the season's first race the first three boats out- rowed Noble 81 Greenough while the fourth boat suffered the only loss. The first boat with Livingston, Hall, Worthen, Rowan, and coxswain Clafiin crossed the line a half-length ahead of Nobles. The second boat led by stroke Duncan beat Nobles by lk lengths with the line time of 2:48. The third boat race proved to be the most exciting of the day. After each crew exchanged the lead, Belmont finally edged out to win by a quarter of a length. The fourth boat lost by IIA lengths. A traditionally strong Exeter crew swept the Hill squad in the next race. The first shell stayed with Exeter through the balance of the race but were out- sprinted at the end and lost by a half length. The second boat found itself in the closest race of the afternoon as it lost by only six inches. Both boats were timed in 2:53. Exeter's third boat jumped to an early, lead, and extended it to two lengths over the smaller Hill crew. Belmont's fourth boat stayed 106 Coach Duncan commands near their more experienced competition, but fell back to lose by two lengths. In the second annual Ducey Cup Regatta, the Belmont Hill crew raced Brown 8L Nichols and Brooks School to win the silver cup. Victories in the first two boats and a second place by the third boat gave them the win. A rearranged first boat of Dun- can, Hall, Worthen, Rowan, and A. Harrington pow- ered Belmont Hill to the finish line IM lengths ahead of Brooks. The second boat of Livingston, Petrie, Cass, Barnard, and Claflin won easily by ZW lengths over Brooks. In the fourth boat race Browne 8a Nichols posted an excellent time of 4:05. Brooks came in second ahead of Belmont. B 84 N also won the third boat race, although the Belmont crew was only two seconds behind the victor's 4:06. In the fourth race of the year, the Varsity crew out-rowed Groton's first and second shells, but lost in the third boat race by a decklength. Both first boat crews rowed together for two-thirds of the three-quarter mile race. But Belmont took a length lead at the start of the final sprint and won by W length. In the second boat race Belmont took a length lead at the start of the race and held it throughout to win by four seconds. The third boat lost by a deck length on a poor start and never re- gained this margin. Belmont iinished two seconds behind Groton's 4:24 time. Rowing against St. Markls on the Charles River, all four boats gained easy victories over their much weaker opponents. The first two boats turned in vic- tories by three lengths while the third and fourth boat triumphs were equally as impressive. This race did not prove to be a good prepping for Quinsiga- mond as the 'competition was not too stiff. In this race the second boat raced as the first because it had outrowed the first boat in recent time trials. At Quinsigamond the second boat avenged its earlier defeat at the hands of Exeter as they tied them for first in the second boat race. The first boat Captain Steven Livingston. placed third behind a very strong South Kent crew and Exeter which had defeated them earlier in the season. Letters were awarded to Captain Livingston, Cap- tain-elect Barnard, Cass, Claflin, Duncan, Hall, A. Harrington, E. Harrington, Petrie, Rowan, and Worthen. First boat strains. Time travels.

The 1961 Tennis Team recorded one of its best seasons in its history as it won seven matches while losing five. The teamls defeats came at the hands of the traditionally strong teams, among them Milton, St. Markls, and Middlesex, all of which have much more practice time than the Belmont squad. This better-than-average squad was able to win the close matches that they had been losing in past years. The starters were Lanse Palmer, Kent Parrot, Capt. Chris Scott, Wink Willett, Jon Smith, Ted Counihan, and Rob Elwell. The continued good play of Counihan, a Second Former, and Parrot, a Third Former, gave encouragement for the future. Unfortunately, three of the lirst tive matches were against the three strongest schools mentioned above, but the team rallied from these defeats to finish the season with only two more losses. They won their last five matches to end the season on a happy note. In their first match the team was defeated by a Strong Middlesex squad by an 8-1 count. The number three doubles pair of Parrot and Counihan managed Belmont's only win. Chris Scott came the closest to winning in the singles as he succumbed to the Mid- dlesex captain, Holcombe, 12-5. Belmont High School was the Varsityls first win as the Hillies shut them out, 7-O, via four singles wins and three doubles triumphs. Belmont Hill tal- lied 84 games to only 21 for the visitors. Milton downed the Varsity in the next match by a 5-2 score. Wink Willett, playing the number three position, won his singles match, 12-0, over Hallett, and the doubles combination of Parrot and Counihan won again, 12-8. Belmont's second victory was again a shut-out as the team beat Roxbury Latin, 8-0. Palmer, Parrot, Scott, Willett, and Elwell won their singles matches handily. All three doubles teams, led by Palmer and Willett, won in straight sets. Playing the third strong team in the first five matches, the squad came close but lost to St. Mark's, 6-3. Palmer and Parrot in the singles competition and Palmer and Willett in the doubles managed victories for Belmont. Playing Newton High, the team lost a close match by a 3-2 score. Kent Parrot won his singles match and Willett and Counihan combined for a doubles victory. Palmer, number one, was downed by New- ton's Hecht, 3-6, 2-6, 2-6. Facing the M.I.T. Freshmen for the first time, the Varsity was defeated by an 8-2 score. Parrot and Smith were the only victories, winning 12-9 and 15- 13 respectively. Against Brooks, the squad won a close 5-4 match, Parrot, Willett, and Counihan won singles victories while Palmer, Scott, and Smith all lost in three sets. In the decisive doubles competi- tion Behnont came through with clutch victories. Continued on page 112 Captain Christ Scott. Palmer gets set. Parrot strokes his backhand. Continued from page III Following a rained out match with St. Sebastianls, the Varsity easily defeated Rivers by the score of 6-1. Palmer, Scott, Counihan, and Elwell all won their matches handily. Parrot met stiffer competition but squeezed out a 12-10 win. ln the doubles matches, Bartol and Maclaurin won 9-7, but Segal and Furnald lost, 12-10. On Father and Son Day the team routed St. Se- bastian's, 7-2. After Palmer, Willett, Smith, and Counihan had won easily, Scott came from behind to win, 2-6, 6-3, 6-0. Playing St. Sebastianas for a second time, the Varsity again won, this time 7-1. Willett poses. Counihan smashes a forehand. Palmer swept his match, 6-4, 6-1. Parrot easily won 6-0, 6-1 over an opponent who beat him in a previ- ous encounter. Scott and Smith won by identical scores of 7-5, 6-1. Counihan and Densmore were involved in the closest matches of the day, Couni- han winning 6-4, 6-4, and Densmore 5-7, 6-3, 12- 10. In the doubles Palmer and Parrot won, but Scott and Smith lost. Winning their fifth straight match, the tennis team overcame Browne 84 Nichols, 6-3. Palmer, playing below par, lost his match, 2-6, 3-6. Parrot, winning his eighth contest of the season, defeated Shurcliff 6-4, 7-5. Willett captured his sixth victory, 6-3, 7-5 112 over Austin. After Palmer and Willett had lost their doubles match, the teams of Parrot-Counihan, and Scott-Smith triumphed. The final match of the year was rained out. Governor Dummer was the sched- uled opposition. Letters were awarded to Capt. Chris Scott, Cap- tain-elect Wink Willett, Ted Counihan, Bob Elwell, Lanse Palmer, Kent Parrot, Jon Smith, and Mgr. George Keyes. Lanse Palmer received the trophy as the player who made the most contribution during the season. 113 Smith clowns.

JUNIOR VARSITY FOOTBALL Lack of depth and experience characterized the J .V. football team as they went through the season with only one victory and six defeats. A shortage of big linemen who could consistently open holes for the backs plagued the team all year. Furthermore, the squad experienced difficulty in the fundamentals of blocking and tackling. The team did show a fine determination for victory, but were far outclassed at times. ' The bright spot of the team was the backfleld. Doug Amon's passing was consistently good, and the running of Carl Casselman, Chris Fremont- Smith, and Stan Colla improved with each game. Bob Foster was particularly good on defense. In the first game of the season, the J .V.'s faced a strong Milton squad. Early mistakes led to Miltonis 16-0 half-time lead. However, in the second half, the J.V.'s rallied for two touchdowns. Fremont- Smith scored first on a long run, and then Bob Foster scored on a 60 yard pass play. Unfortunately, nei- ther extra point conversion was obtained and the game ended with Miltonis winning, 16-14. 114 A traditionally strong Noble 84 Greenough downed Belmont, 20-8, in the second game. Neither team was able to score in the first period as the fine defenses of both teams stood out. In the second period, the J.V.'s halted a Nobles drive on their own four yard line. However the Crokemen were trapped in their own end zone, and Nobles was awarded a safety. Nobles then proceeded to score twice on long drives. In the second half, Belmont opened up the game with many long passes. One of these resulted in a touchdown for Belmont as Chris Fremont- Smith grabbed a Doug Amon aerial. But Nobles also tallied on an interception to make the final score 20-8. St. Mark's had too much power as they drove their way to a 38-0 victory. The backs of. St. Mark's raced through large holes that were consistently opened by their foreward wall. The lone win of the season came at the expense of Browne 8: Nichols by the score of 30-12. In this game, strong blocking and effective tackling were combined successfully for the only time during the season. Against Groton the J.V.'s were again shut out. This time it was by a 28-0 score. For a while it ap- peared as if the team could hold off the Grotties, but their depth proved too much for Belmont. The J .V. backfield was unable to get untracked largely be- cause of the line's failure to open holes for them. The J.V.'s suffered their second successive shut- out at the hands of Governor Dummer by the score of 36-0. The first score came after only two minutes of the first period on a fifty-four yard pass play. Three times the Governors tallied on plays of fifteen yards or more as the Hill defense was unable to stop the Governors from making long gains. In the season's finale early tallies by Middlesex were enough to defeat the J.Vfs, 30-14. Middlesex capitalized on Behnont's poor ball handling, and the hard inside running of their backs. Joel Shapiro tal- lied Belmont's last touchdown as the game ended. Numerals were awarded to: Amon, Atkins, Barn- ard, Birnie, Bonner, C. Brooks, Bush, Casselman, Colla, J. Duncan, Egan, Foster, Fremont-Smith, Furcolo, Morton, Shapiro, Victor, Whitelaw. Junior Varsity Football SE N IOR FOOTBALL Having another successful season under the coach- ing of Mr. Aloian and Mr. Worrest, the Senior foot- pall team collected a record of five wins against one oss. Outscoring their opponents, 72-6, the seniors used a rugged defense with a very strong line. The offense was also led by this line, which continued to open up large holes in the opposition. The line was led by the teamis co-captains, Bill Diamond and Paul Silk. The team was led in scoring by quarterback Paul Dorsey, with Roger Bergen and John Smethurst second and third respectively. Smethurst also led the backfield in defense while coming up with many open field tackles. In their first game, the Seniors pushed Rivers up and down the field as they overpowered Rivers, 36- Senior Football 115 0. Dorsey led the team with three touchdowns and Roger Bergen ran well from the fullback slot. Playing a much larger Milton team, the Seniors showed that their smoothly run split-T formation could not be stopped. After Bergen scored on a dive in the second period for six points, the Seniors held Milton scoreless. This game was possibly the team's best all year. Playing at home, the Seniors secured their third straight shutout, beating St. Marks, 8-O. Although at first fooled by St. Mark's belly series, the team re- covered in a short time. Then they proceeded to score and finally win. This game was marked by the excellent defensive performance of end Chip,' Spilios. He came in and caught his opponent many times with jarring flying tackles. Also in this game, fullback Roger Bergen played the whole second half with a fractured finger. Losing their only game of the season, the Seniors fell to Browne and Nichols. Although they played a fantastic defensive game, a lapse of one play was enough for B 84 N to score. The final score was 6-0. In their last two games, the team climaxed the season with two shutout victories over Noble and Greenough and Middlesex, 8-O and 14-0 respec- tively. The team, by mid-season, had two basic forma- tions, the split-T and the single wing, but proved to be mostly a split-T team. Other backs were Bern- stein, Parrot, and Solar, while other linemen were Herman, Koslowski, Pietz, Taylor, Viles, Weeks, and Wicks. JUNIOR FOOTBALL The Junior Football team compiled a record of two wins and four defeats. Their offense was often very impressive, but the defensive play left some- thing to be desired and proved the downfall in many games. Tailback Robin Murray was easily the team's offensive star as he consistently was able to tum in long runs. Tom Amon, Ernie Broadbent, and Mike Croke also added to the running attack. The line was anchored by the line play of Gunnar Wood, Charles Whipple, Leon Chase, and William Gilpat- rick. In their first game of the season, a strong Fessen- den squad, which eventually went undefeated, beat Behnont, 26-8. Fessenden built up a first half lead of 20-8, and the Juniors were unable to over come this margin despite the fact that the defense stiffened in the second half, and held Fessenden to only one touchdown. Robin Murray tallied all of Behnont's points. Murray put on a one man show in the second game as he scored all of Belmont's points in their 20-0 romp over St. Mark's. The defense on this encounter played its best game of the season as it held St. Markis to only three first downs all after- noon and tackled the Marksmen backs for numerous losses. This initial victory avenged a 24-0 defeat of a year ago. In the next game, a diminutive Browne and Nich- ols squad beat the Juniors, 8-0. The backs of B 8: N, because of their size were able to slide through the Hill defense with consistent success. The Belmont attack suffered noticeably with the absence of Robin Murray. The victory avenged the 44-0 pasting the Juniors administered to B 84 N last year. Junior Football Rivers handed the Juniors their second consecu- tive defeat by the score of 28-14. On the very first play of the game, Rivers tallied a touchdown and never was headed thereafter. The Belmont touch- downs were scored by Bill Gilpatrick, who recov- ered a Rivers fumble in the end zone, and Robin Murray on a short run. In their finest game of the season, the Juniors trounced Roxbury Latin, 46-22. At the half, the score was dead-locked at 14-14, but led by the strong running of Murray and Amon, the Juniors rolled thirty-two points in the second half. Murray scored three times while Amon scored twice, with Broadbent and Ulfelder tallying once apiece. Noble 84 Greenough defeated the Inghammen, 36-28, in the season's H1131 game. Belmont led 20-14 at the half, but was unable to hang on to the advan- tage. The highlight of this half was a fifty yard pass from Randy Byrnes to Ernie Broadbent. Robin Murray scored eighteen points for Belmont. Tom Amon added the extra two points. JUNIOR VARSITY SOCCER This year's Junior Varsity Soccer team, coached by Mr. Duncan and Mr. Boocock, compiled a record of eight wins and one defeat. This formidable record surpasses any previous J .V. Soccer team accomplish- ment at Belmont Hill. Playing their opening game with traditionally strong Milton Academy, the J .Vfs defeated Milton for the first time in many years, by the score of 4-2. After Milton had jumped off to an early lead in the first period, Behnont rallied with four goals by Por- ter Coggeshall, Peter Shapiro, Aldie Harrington, and Jon Lovell. In its second game, the J ayvees overpowered Lawrence Academy, 3-1. Belmont's first tally in the second period came when Jeff Lockshin scored on a close-in shot. After Lawrence had evened the score, Peter Shapiro put Belmont back into the lead with a goal in the closing seconds of the first half. In the final quarter, Belmont clinched the victory when Aldie Harrington tallied. 116 Extending their undefeated season, the J .V.'s de- feated Tabor, 3-0. Leading Behnont to a shut-out victory, Aldie Harrington scored all three goals. Midwa-y through the first period, Harrington scored unassisted, to put the J .V.'s in the lead. Harrington's other tallies came early in the second and late in the fourth quarter. The Jayvees suffered their only setback when a larger and faster Roxbury Latin Varsity team de- feated them, 4-2. After a seesaw battle in which Jim Scott and Pete MacLaurin scored, the visitors rallied in the third and fourth periods to capture the victory. Returning to the win column, Belmont Hill de- feated St. Mark's, 2-1. Again, all of Belmont's goals were scored by the team's high scorer, Aldie Har- rington. After Harrington broke the scoreless dead- lock, St. Mark's tied the score. In the final seconds of play, Harrington pushed in a goal for the victory. Playing previously unbeaten Browne and Nichols, the Belmont Hill J .V. Soccer team pulled out a 2-1 victory. Belmont goals were scored by Peter Shapiro and Trevor Higgonet. In the final period, Browne and Nichols scored their lone goal, but could not put in the equalizer. Dominating the play throughout the entire game, the J .V.'s defeated Thayer Academy, 3-1. Belmont goals were scored in the second period by Jeff Lock- shin, and in the fourth by Trevor Higgonet and Jon Lovell. Scoring their second shut-out win, the J ayvees de- feated Brooks, 3-O. Midway through the hrst period, Jon Lovell scored to put Belmont in the lead. Aldie Harrington and Mac Perkins scored insurance goals in the second half. Finishing their highly successful season, the Belmont Hill J .V. Soccer team downed Governor Dummer, 3-0. Jim Scott scored the first goal on a penalty kick in the first period. Aldie Har- rington tallied on a close shot in the second period. ln the fourth quarter, Trevor Higonnet scored an insurance goal on a head Much of the credit for the yearis success is owed to the line defensive play of goalie Bill Rose and the fullbacks, Captain Don Robinson and Dave Wallace. JUNIOR SOCCER Belmont Hill's Junior Soccer team began its sea- son with a distinct disadvantage because of inexperi- ence, from age or playing time. It was a building year for Coaches Plumer and Richardson especially in the line, as four regulars were Second Formers. Be- cause of this age deficit, there was a size handicap, in addition, five starters had never before played soccer. As the season progressed, these players gained playing skills and tricks, hence the team's last half pickup. The first game resulted in a 1-1 tie with a larger Brooks team. Jack Denny-Brown scored the only Hill goal. The second tilt was a frustrating 4-3 set- back from Fessenden. Belmont had a 3-1 fourth period advantage on thestrength of Page's two goals, but lost the lead in the final minutes, and the game in overtime. A third game made for a second defeat, as Lincoln-Sudbury broke a 1-1 tie with a last sec- ond penalty shot. A fourth game ended in a 1-1 dead heat with Browne and Nichols. In both of the single scoring games, Andy Page was the whole scor- ing ofiense. The following home Milton contest was again a losing cause, as the Juniors were beaten, 2-0. Both opposing goals came in the final half, one of them accidentally kicked in by a Belmont player. At this period came the turning point of the year for the team. Pike School was Belmont's first victim, and the 2-0 score does not indicate the margin. All members of the team saw action, and Pike was held even by the second and third teams. Claflin and Zofnass scored in the second period, and goalie Donovan preserved the shutout with nice stops. Numerals were awarded to: Captain Robinson, Coggeshall, J. Dewey, Garth, Keyes, Lockshin, Lovell, MacLaurin, Merrill, J. Parker, Perkins, Petrie, W. Ross, J. Scott, P. Shapiro, Shaw, and Wallace. Junior Varsity Soccer The next contest was a revenge for an earlier loss to Milton. By hustle and good defense, the Plumer and Richardson coached men came out with a 3-1 victory. Page, Denny-Brown, and Zofnass scored for Belmont Hill. The last game was a matter of pride, a victory would salvage an even season for the team. Unfortunately, it took a clutch goal by Harry Jor- dan, who perhaps possesses the hardest shot on the squad, to gain even a tie. The final record stood at two wins, three losses and three ties. Over the season, the offense was paced by Andy Page, scorer of five goals. Second Formers Zofnass, Claflin, Jordan, and Spitzer alternated in the line, thus gaining valuable experience, and contributing goals and assists. Jack Denny-Brown and Brian Joyce switched off at the center position, and to play the trailing, playmaker position as well. Chris Elwell at right wing filled out the starting line. Junior Soccer JUNIOR VARSITY Despite injuries and illness, the Mr. Sanford coached J.V. basketball team emerged with its first winning season in four years, with an 8-7 record. The squad was a well balanced, well distributed one with one senior, four juniors, five sophomores, and two freshmen. The equality of the players' ability is manifested in that, after two high scorers, seven players scored between 24 and 54 points. The schedule began with a win over Rivers, 36- 24. Roger Bergen put in 13 points, then missed the next seven games because of an appendectomy. A strong Milton quintet overpowered the Hillies, 46- 23. The next game, played without John Perry and Bergen, resulted in a 27-17 defeat at the hands of Noble 84 Greenough. The J .V.'s broke their losing streak with a sound victory over St. Mark's, 34-23. Bob Bell was high scorer with 12 points. However, Milton trounced any win skein hopes with a 39-24 win. Governor Dummer added another loss to the record by cap- turing a 33-29 decision. At this point, the team began to pick up. They defeated St. Sebastian's, 43-22, with Lynch, Nott, and Shapiro scoring a majority of the points. Brooks was the next victim, 42-34, as Lynch scored 14 and Bell, 9. Browne 84 Nichols edged the J.V.'s in a close game, thus momentarily breaking the streak, and causing Lynchls 16 point burst to go for naught. St. Paul's expedition to Belmont was celebrated by a 57 point scoring splurge by Belmont, while hold- ing St. Paulis to a mere 24. High scorers Bergen and Weinbaum combined for 28 points. The Noble 84 Greenough rematch added another Hill victory, but lost Bill Lynch to the team for the termination of the year, because of a broken nose sustained in the heat of action. Bergen accounted for 8, and Perry, Bell, and Shapiro, 6 each to pace the scorers, but it was Mike Austin's last minute jump shot which clinched the 34-31 win. BASKETBALL This winning bubble was pierced by a 57-27 slaughter at St. Markis court following the exam week. However, a 28-14 win at Brooks, paced by the 6 point efforts of Perry and Austin, gave the team its 8-7 winning record. On paper, the team leader was Bill Lynch, scorer of 73 points in just 10 games. Paper, however, does not measure the all-around aid on offense and de- fense Capt. Lynch gave the team. Besides his high scoring, he set up plays, made picks, and engineered many fast breaks. John Perry scored 71 points to finish second in scoring, and also contributed many rebounds. Perry and Lynch seemed to personify the ideal club spirit and hustle. Backcourters Roger Bergen, who scored 48 points, and Bob Bell, who scored 54 points, combined with Lynch to assist in many scores. Mark Weinbaum scored 46, Joel Shapiro 35, and Randy Nott 29, as big men under the boards. Be- sides their impressive totals, all added important re- bounds for fast breaks. Junior Varsity Basketball JUNIOR BASKETBALL Although the Junior Basketball team had a dis- appointing 3-7 record, the team always displayed fine spirit, and prospects for the future are good as the squad had good height. Coach Inghamls charges played top notch basketball on occasion, notable in the first B 84 N game. Other times, they left much to be desired. The Juniors seemed to play their best basketball away from home where they had a little more running room. In their first game of the year, the team fell before St. Markls, 30-23. The team made only three of thirteen foul shots to account for the defeat. Porter Coggeshall, the high scorer for the year, had tive points. Tom Amon's three point play near the end of the game gave the Juniors their first victory of the sea- 118 son over Middlesex by a 21-19 count. Sandwiched between two losses to a strong Fay squad, 38-20 and 30-29, was a defeat at the hands of St. Sebastian's, 47-18. Fay employed to great advantage the fast break play with their two very quick guards. In their best game of the season, the squad de- feated B 8c N, 39-29. Porter Coggeshall went on a scoring rampage as he made 22 points on shots from every possible angle. In a return match with B 8L N two weeks later, however, the tide changed and the Black Knights won, 50-24. Belmont's defense was very ragged, and B 84 N was able to tally 26 points in the second half. Against Milton, both the A and B squads went down to defeat. In the A game, Milton jumped off to an early lead and maintained it throughout the contest, winning 32-13. In the re- turn match with Middlesex, the Juniors were de- feated, 39-27. In this game, the locals could not keep up a sustained attack. Coggeshall had five points for the losers. In the final game of the season, the team played one of their better games and defeated St. Mark's, 41-35 in the return engagement. The game was very close throughout, with Belmont managing always to maintain a slim lead. Coggeshall had fourteen points for the winners. At the close of the season, Porter Coggeshall was elected Captain by the squad consisting of Tom Amon, John Beal, Mike Croke, Bob Foster, Bill GilDatrick, Henry Norr, John Palmer, John Reed, Bob Rines, Alan Solar, Bob Solar, Bob Wales, Edgar White, Phil Wilcox, and John Wright. JUNIOR VARSITY While not bettering the record of the squads of the past few seasons, this year's J .V. Hockey turned in a very credible 7 wins, 5 losses, and 2 ties. The individual scoring honors went to wingman Butch Maxwell with 2 goals and ll assists for thirteen points. Close behind him were Roger Mattlage and Wink Willett each with 12 points: Willett and John Smethurst both tallied 7 goals to pace the club in that department. Other linemen, Walter Densmore, Paul Dorsey, and Pete Maclaurin, all scored their share of points also. Coach Smith was fortunate in that he had a fine defense composed of Tom Saliba, John Duncan, Phil True, Don Robinson, Dick Victor, and Pete Shaw. Not to be forgotten was the excellent goal- tending of Tom Clark, who was later elected captain of the team. In the first game of the season, the J .V.'s tied St. Sebastiarfs, 3-3. St. Sibbies rallied to tie this one in the last period after goals by Bob Duncan C23 and John Smethurst had given the J .V.'s the lead. Milton became Behriont's first victim by a 3-2 score. Dens- more, Bob Duncan, and Worthen scored for Belmont. Andover shut-out the team in the next game by a 4-0 count. Belmont had one goal disallowed as Greene and Adden each scored twice for Andover. Following an 8-0 romp over a much smaller Law- rence Academy squad, the J .V.'s went down to de- feat at the hands of Milton, 1-0. The team played its second tie of the year against Boston Latin, 2-2. In the annual jamboree played this year at Gover- nor Dummer, the J.Vfs won 2 of their matches. Middlesex proved to be the eventual winner. Returning to their winning ways, the J .V.'s trounced Brooks, 4-0. Densmore tallied 2 goals while Smethurst and Mattlage each scored once.

I Junior Basketball HOCKEY overtime goal. Paul Dorsey scored for the Hillies in the first period, but Nobles tied the game late in the third period and went on to win. Winning their fifth game of the year, the J .V.'s downed St. Mark's, 2-1. Dorsey scored twice in this game with assists going to Saliba and Maxwell 123. Belmont scored twice in the first period of the next game with Browne Sc Nichols and that was enough to insure a 3-1 victory. Maclaurin, Smethurst, and Dorsey scored Belmont's three goals with assists go- ing to Saliba, Mattlage, Robinson, Willett, and Max- well. In the Hnal game of the season, Middlesex was victorious over the J.V.'s by the score of 4-2. Wink Willett scored for Belmont midway through the first Deriod, and Maxwell did likewise in the third period. Middlesex tallied once in the first and third periods and twice in the second.

Junior Varsity Hockey JUNIOR HOCKEY On Saturday, February 25, the Junior Hockey team made school history by defeating Arlington Junior High School, 3-2, in a sudden death over- time to bring the juniors their first Suburban League Hockey title. Probably one of the finest Junior teams in the school's history, they compiled an amazing 14-and-1 record. Starting the season strongly, the Juniors defeated Walpole, 3-1. Each of the first linemen, Kent Parrot, Ken Martin, and Captain Ed Chase, scored to gain the victory. The next game against Brookline was an easy win for the Juniors, 6-1. Newton and Needham Junior High Schools fell next to the Junior power- house, 5-3 and 6-1. The Dedham game was a walk away as Belmont trounced, 8-1. The Juniors, not fully realizing the strength of the Wellesley team, fell 5-1. The next game saw the Juniors come from behind to defeat the B.C. High Freshmen, 4-2. With this record, the Prestonmen were eligible for the play-offs in the Junior High School Suburban League competition. They faced Belmont Junior High in the semi-finals. The Junior High School, aided greatlyby their star, Bob Gardner, took a quick 2-0 lead in the first period. However, the Juniors bounced back with two goals, only to have the Junior High School go ahead again, 4-2. Kent Parrot got his third goal of the game when he scored halfway through the third period. With about five minutes remaining in the game, Ed Chase tallied the tieing goal for the Juniors, which put the game into overtime. During the overtime, the High School nearly scored, but goalie Chris Elwell made a spectacular save to keep the Juniors alive. With about a minute left in the game, Ed Chase scored again to win the game and give the Juniors the opportunity of competing in the play-offs. Belmont now faced Arlington in the final contest for the Suburban League crown and the Boston JUNIOR VARSITY The Junior Varsity baseball team, under the coaching of Olin H. Ingham, produced the finest record at Belmont Hill this spring, finishing with a 9-2 slate, including a seven game winning streak. The season began with a contest played at Milton due to poor field conditions at the Hill. The Ingha- men were unable to give pitcher John Smethurst much support at the plate, but nevertheless managed to score eight runs on walks and errors, defeating the opposition 8-4. A week later, the Jayvees lost a disappointing 5-3 game to Governor Dummer. In their next meeting, however, the Junior Varsity warned the league as they crushed Middlesex 21-6 under a barrage of hits. The team followed up this victory in similar fashion trouncing Browne Sc Nich- 120 Globe Championship Trophy. Belmont took the lead at 5:15 in the opening period, only to have Arlington come back at 9:46 and tie the first period score, 1-1. Belmont, fired up by their fine coach, Mr. Frederick Preston, took a quick lead with Ken Mar- tin's goal. However, at 1:34 of the final period, .Ar- lington again tied the score, sending the game into overtime. Kent Parrot tallied at 4:56 of the sudden- death overtime to gain the championship and tro- phy. At the end of the game, Ed Chase was pre- sented the trophy on behalf of his team. It is now in the Belmont Hill trophy case. The Juniors also played six private school games, winning all of them. They trounced St. Mark's, 9-1, Browne 84 Nichols, 6-0 and 5-3, Middlesex, 6-1 and 6-4, and Milton, 8-4. V The team wasn't entirely based upon the first line. The second line was a strong but young line which should aid the team in the coming season. This second trio, composed of Randy Byrnes, Jack Litner, and Peter Mueller, scored eleven goals as a unit. The first line boasts an amazing fifty-three- goal output, while the team scored eighty-one goals in fifteen games. gm,,M,mi,, ,,,:- J -ga. . 1, ,.f..isa:fs2f' gi. -, I, -1' .., . , ............ ..

By scoring three runs in the final inning at St. Mark's, the Jayvees made it three straight, de- feating the Marksmen 6-3. 4 Continuing their streak, the Hillies squeezed out a 4-3 victory against Browne 8: Nichols due to the fine pitching of Chris Fremont-Smith and several timely errors by the opposition. Three days later, the team squeezed out a 10-9 triumph over the Bel- mont High Sophs,,' as the opposition scored nine runs in the final inning. Belmont Hill took its sixth straight-its third straight by one run-winning 8-7 over Milton under the clutch pitching of second former Ken Martin. Another one-run, 4-3 victory, and the J ayvees won their seventh straight from St. Sebastian's. But the Governors came to town again, and smashed the Junior Varsity and its streak, 11-6. The Inghamen finished strongly, however, with a 14-9 defeat over Brooks, giving the team their ninth vic- tory of the season against two defeats. Coach Ingham and his team are to be congratu- lated on their fine sportsmanship and their excellent season's record. Junior Varsity Baseball SENICR BASEBALL The 1961 Senior baseball team had a short but successful season as the team compiled a 3-2 won lost record. Four games were cancelled because of rain during the season. The pitching staff of the team was composed of Randy Byrnes and Porter Cogge- shall. The infield stalwarts were Bill Sullivan at first, John Stafiier at second, Chipper Spilios at short, and Ed Chase at third. The outfield was made up of Miles Fletcher, Andy Page, Warren Herman, and John Weeks. The catchers were Tom Koslowski and Gunnar Wood. In the first contest of the season, Browne 84 Nich- ols downed the Seniors, 5-4. Belmont was leading until the score was tied as B 84 N rallied in the fourth inning. B 84 N came up with a run in the last of the seventh to clinch the victory. Byrnes and Coggeshall pitched for Belmont. After two games with Rivers and Milton were canceled because of rain, Belmont came back with a win against St. Markfs by a 2-1 score. Byrnes pitched for the Seniors giving up five walks and striking out five. The score was tied going into the last inning when Coggeshall hit a triple and Page poked a single to center scoring the winning run. At Father and Son's Day, the Seniors got revenge on Browne 84 Nichols by downing them 7-4. B 84 N took a 3-0 lead, but couldn't hold it. Spilios started Belmont's rally with a double driving in two runs. Page also drove in two runs with a bunt. The return match with St. Mark's was canceled because their bus broke down. The Seniors won their third game in a row by defeating Middlesex, 13-9. This game was played with errors for both teams as Belmont capitalized on its opponents errors. Cogge- shall was credited with the win, as he gave up only five hits. Roxbury Latin held the Seniors to only one hit as they blanked Belmont, 4-0. Senior Baseball JUNIOR BASEBALL The 1961 Junior Baseball team, which was coached by Messrs Sawyer and Worrest, had one of the best records that a Behnont Hill Junior Base- ball team has had in many years, finishing the sea- son with a 7-2 record. This record was highlighted by a seven game winning streak in which the Juniors won the last seven games of the season. The first two games of the season were very close contests. In the first game, Belmont dropped a squeaker to Fessenden, 8-7. Belmont lost its second contest to Rivers, 6-5. Belmont showed great hitting potential against Rivers, but their bad fielding proved to be the deciding factor in the game. Belmont's first win of the season was registered against Browne 84 Nichols at Cambridge. The Hillies showed their greatest clutch performance of the year, coming from a 5-0 deficit to win 6-5 . Clutch hits were registered by Jay Stewart and Tom Amon, who both had two hits apiece. Jack Reed also collected one hit. In their first home game of the season, the Juniors clobbered Fenn School, 16-3. Belmont gathered 13 121 runs in the first inning on nine hits. Jay Stewart was high man with three hits out of four times at bat. The Hillies next traveled to Noble and Green- ough School to swamp the Noblemen 8-1. Behnont's Hfth inning, which posted four runs, was a big step toward the Win. Playing before a large Father and Son Day crowd, and also opening a four-game homestand, the Jun- iors met Browne 84 Nichols in a return meeting. B 84 N took the lead in the first inning 3 to 2, but as in other games, Belmont came up with a big inning. In the third frame, the team scored six runs. Milton invaded Belmont Hill for its seventh game of the season. In the first inning, the Juniors scored nine runs, and the Juniors felt secure of a win. After a Milton rally they won 9-8. In the last two games, Behnont showed much ability, beating St. Sebastianfs 7-1 and Roxbury Latin 4-2. Jack Reed and Pete Mueller led Belmont hit- ting during these contests, Reed getting two hits, and Mueller three.

Mr. Modica replaced Mr. Taylor and also taught English. Under Class Seven President, Jim Andreson, aided by Class Six President, Hap Ellis, and the Student Council, the School had outstanding leadership. The Fall sports season was highlighted by a fine Intermediate Football team under Mr. Warren, which although edged by Fay 6-18 in the opener, won over Rivers, St. Mark's, Nobles, Fessenden and Browne 84 Nichols. Co-captains Jack Reed and Jim Andre- son sparked the team from their backfield positions. At ends were Mueller, Stiles, and Moulton, at tack- les Silk, Suttenberg, and Auditoreg Lintner and Downes at guard, and Poulin at center. Other back- field starters included Moore, McManama and Ewart. Fisher was the kicking specialist. Other squad members were Porter, Atkins, Auditore, Cahill, Mattlage, Taylor, Griffin, Grady, Blout, Counihan and Casselman. Mr. Morton's Cubs fared less well, winning over Park, and earning a tie with Rivers, but losing two close games to Fessenden. Dave Pick- man was captain and halfback. The Soccer Team, with only two or three starters back from the previ- ous year, had to concentrate on building under Mr. Plumer and Mr. Gregg. Pike and Applewild were defeated, but the team was beaten twice by Fessen- den and Shore and in a finale return game with Applewild. Charley Dane was captain and high- scorerg the work of Rick Stearns in the goal was notable. Mr. Warrenls Hockey Team developed better than expected. Although the first two games were lost, the The annual play was a great success. Mr. Densmore. first in three years, the team shored up weak points and ran out the string with double victories over Browne and Nichols and Shore, a win over Read- ing, and a final victory over Fessenden. George Mc- Manama centered the first line with Williams, Elwell and Lane alternating at wings. At defense were Vernaglia, Ulfelder, Parson and Grady. Downes, Dana, and Holmes made a second line. Other squad members were Pickman, Fisher, Osborne, Ewart and Trodella. Captain Dave Moulton did a fine job in the nets. The Second Team coached by Mr. Morton, tied Arlington and Reading, but lost to Fessenden. The Basket-ball Team was one of the best on record. Starters for Mr. Plumer were Lee Chase at center, guards Captain Fred Poulin and Gary Suttenberg, forwards Jim Bolan and Jim Andreson. The team defeated Shore twice, and also Reading, but were edged by Browne and Nichols and Lincoln. The baseball season was less successful. Mr. Mor- tonis Midgets won two from Fessenden and a single game from Belvidere, but dropped four close games to Shore, Roxbury, and two to Rivers. Captain George McManama played third base. Pitchers were Downes, Parson and Bolan, with Poulin and Lane alternating behind the plate. Ulfelder, Trodella, Sut- tenberg, and Vattor were other infielders and Grif- fin, Dave Pickman, and Moulton were outfielders. The Cubs under Mr. Warren won three from Park, Fessenden and Pike, but lost two to Rivers, and single games to Roxbury and Fessenden. Steve Bell pitched and Dave Ewart caught. Hap Ellis was cap- tain and third base. Tennis was again a popular activity. The annual tournament had a big draw. Finalists were Dave Arnold and Dave Ewart with Arnold the winner. Linc Holmes, last yearis tournament winner, was forced to withdraw because of a leg injury after reaching the quarter finals. The Intramural Cup was received for the trium- phant Iroquois at Prize Day by Bill Ulfelder, their 124 staunch leader. The race was a tight one all year with a hundred points covering all four teams at the end. The Apaches, last yearis cup winner, were run- ners-up. In debating, the Pawnees, losing last year for the first time in many, surged back to take the Barker Trophy, defeating the Apaches in the final. The winning team were Fred Poulin, Lee Chase, and Chester Atkins. Under the direction of Mr. Modica, the reorgan- ized Lower School Choral Group sang several num- bers at a well-received Christmas concert in the School Chapel. In March many of this same group combined with others for a highly successful produc- tion of The Pirates of Penzance by Gilbert and Sul- livan. Mr. Modica and Mr. Togneri directed the show. Dave Robbins played Frederic and Line Holmes was Mabel, Fred Poulin was the Major General. Taylor, Hartz, Olive, Dabrowski, Auditore, Herman, and Suttenberg played the other leads. There are many traditional events which have grown up with the Lower School and which, with a certain realization that it was for the last time, were held through the year. The Carnival was a big and noisy success, with a deluge of pennies swelling the Lower School's Charity Fund total. The Sixth Grad- ers waited all year for the Seventh grade steps, but could use them only briefly as they move on to be Form I next year. An unusually large eighty percent turn-out of fathers visited classes in the spring, and many stayed for lunch and a triple-header ball game in the afternoon. Class Seven's outing, D-Day, was again at the Densmore place in Princeton on a show- ery day, but with the usual cook-out and visit to the Auto Museum. A few hardy fishermen connected on a local stream. Finally, it was the last week, with exams. The Pawnees edged the Mohawks in the Treasure Hunt for the coveted treat at Brighams, and the aging Faculty bravely but successfully took on an eager Class Seven in a ballgame. Chester Atkins, as Editor-in-Chief, and with a hard-working staff, brought out four of the best edi- tions of the Log on record, with an especially good final uyearbooki' issue in June. On Wednesday, June 7, the annual Lower School Prize Day was held in the Chapel. After a short speech of introduction by Mr. Densmore, he intro- duced Richard Birnie, President-elect of next year's Sixth Form, who welcomed Class Seven to the Upper school. Then came the distribution of prizes by Mr. Densmore. David Arnold won the tennis tournament award. William Ulfelder accepted the intramural cup for the triumphant Iroquois. Then the Pawnee team of Chester Atkins, Leon Chase, Frederick Poulin came up to receive the Barker Debating Trophy. Art rec- ognition went to Theodore Casselman, David Moul- ton, Martin Mugar, and John Welch. The Gregg Social Study Prizes went to Gregory Auditore, and Paul Vernaglia, with honorable mention to Lincoln Holmes, Roger Lerman, Thomas Porter, Anthony Thompson, David Williams, Chester Atkins, Leon Chase, Charles Hamilton, Steven Hartz, David Moulton and Frederick Poulin.

For the next fifteen years, grades five through seven, and oc- casionally a fourth grade, were housed in what is now the Second Form Study Hall Building. In the summer of 1937, Mr. Barker left on his sabbati- cal. When Mr. Barker died just before he was sup- posed to return, Mr. Phillips Wilson continued in his position until 1939. At this time the Lower School had from forty-five to fifty boys. Mr. Edward Densmore had come to Belmont Hill in 1936 to teach French, and in 1939, Mr. Morse, the second headmaster, appointed Mr. Densmore Director of the Lower School. Mr. Richard L. Gregg, senior member of the Lower School faculty, joined the school in 1942. During his nineteen years of service, he has taught Lower School social studies. In 1960, while Mr. Densmore was on sabbatical, Mr. Gregg assumed the job of acting director. He is now taking a sabbatical to Europe, he is expected to return in February. Entering the school in 1954, Mr. Newell H. Mor- ton is the principal teacher of Lower School mathe- matics, including the new arithmetic which has been recently offered. Mr. Morton also does a consider- able amount of coaching on the Lower School teams. Dividing his time between directing athletics and teaching, Mr. William E. Croke came to the school in 1943. As a part-time member of the Lower School faculty, Mr. Croke teaches two courses in arithmetic. Mr. Davenport Plumer has been teaching Lower School English and science for the past six years. Mr. Lewis Warren, who came to the Lower School in 1958, has been teaching Lower School geography and history, Mr. Modica has been director of music at the Lower School for the past year. During the early years, the Lower School had only twenty-tive boys, and the whole school amounted to no more than one hundred. By the time the Lower School Building was completed in February of 1945, the Lower School had almost doubled in registration, and since then has gradually increased, now aver- aging sixty boys a year. The increased size of the Lower School in later years permitted a wide range of activities and tradi- tions to spring up that will become extinct and per- haps forgotten next year. The most famous of these are the intramural teams, the Mohawks, the Iro- quois, the Pawnees, and the Apaches. These teams, competing on a point system, were scored on every- thing from work projects to sports. Their reward for winning over a short period is the placing of their banner in the study hall, and for the year, the in- scription of their names on a cup. These teams were especially valuable because they organized their own meetings and elected their own officers. Other organ- izations were the Lower School Log, published live or six times a year, a literary and news magazineg the Barker Memorial Trophy which was competed for on an intramural basis and the Student Council Forums, which gave a chance for the student body to ask a panel of Student Council members ques- tions. Some of the other traditions that will die next year are meaningful primarily to the boys who have gone through the Lower School. These include Class Seven Steps, the Carnival, Effort List, Spring First, and D-Day. Life at the Lower School will never fade away from the memories of its now distin- guished alumni.

He took great pride in being able to tell me the names of the returning graduates, and day after day we would sit on the stone fence and swap stories about graduates. One of his happiest days was when I couldn't remember a graduateis name. Such devotion is rare today, and although he has left us, he will never be forgotten by any boy who knew him. 128 Q SPONSORS Dean and Mrs. Pietro Belluschi Mr. and Mrs. Leonard Mordacai Dr. and Mrs. Richard Bush Mr. and Mrs. Scott Parrot Mr. and Mrs. Edward A.

M MOBIL OIL COMPANY A Division of Socony Mobil Oil Company, Inc. 150 East 42nd Street, New York 17, N. Y. 157 C Ol'lffl1Il?d from page 26 8. Ben Hur Burke's car remaineth whole this year. 9. And cometh the next evening. Yea, did be- hold a festive occasion at the abode of Mills. And verily did one with a greasy tongue imbue many with doubt. It was a time of famine as with passion did those many wish to continue school. Amid this was great talk of Mr. Shapiro's dancing lessons and Acting triumph at the Fall Sports Dance. 10. Hockey starteth and Basketball keepeth go- ing. ll. At Lawrenceville did Jerry Q. head with great haste for the Nassau Tavern. And withal verily was he photographed by the one with the greasy tongue. 12. And did Toby soon discover to the shock of the multitudes that, in truth, Saber was the one. Grindstone in hand he did seek to dull the blade's edge. 13. New Years did come and it came to pass that the weight of the Scales did burden several. 14. And Burke, axe in hand, did chopeth at the Wood. 15. Henceforth and forever, Burke and Eliot hath not Female Companions. 16. Several did go to Stowe, yet much more were verily scared by the Evils of Brew, be as it may, one was kindly permitted. 17. And now did we le-arn that Rose had gone Rabbit hunting. 18. There were much words made in the markets of Sport1n' Life', Scott. He was much toasted, hosted, and soon thereafter engaged. 19. Upon the altars did casteth Price and Rowan a new concept. The Emperor and high nobles were much displeased and Chapel remained the same. Woodbury did instruct us through sleep teaching thereafter. 20. And it came to be leamed by the many that Dumpling Dan Hennessey's boilers would verily never freeze in the cold of the winter. For in truth they were filled with alcohol. 21. And the Princeps of Hockey, 'fHow Comef' Welch did entertain greatly at North Conway. Yea, didst the few see Peabody refuse muchly to take to skis. Harrington saveth the day and did don the slats. He did hitteth a tree. Several went to the Square Dance which was a lively party. Filled with actionj, quoth Burke. 22. Many knees were bloodied and few survived as the Fifth Form was crushed by us. 23. And it came to pass that many were crushed mightily by the rolling Cue-Ball. Many were behind the Eight Ball, and even others did play chess which defied all Physical Laws. 24. And Tabor didst come as the Barbarian hordes and did crumbleth the Empire of the Basket- ball Team in ten seconds. 25. The warmth of Spring cometh and several didst find their bare arms most ugly. They lacketh adornment, sayeth they, and didst find Lefty Liberty and J ack Red Cloud to decorate them. But alas, no one did get to see Red Cloud's anchor. 26. The Chapel Committee was formed that we of the school might choose our reverence. Yea, they were guided by others who were the real masters of the Chapel's fate. 27. The Senor gave up on Spanish three and the class was serenaded to the tune of El Rancho Grande. Wait til exams, sayeth gleefully the Senor. 28. Exams arriveth and we find ourselves ahnost out. Elwell did realize this and did entertain the many in their honor again and again. Many did case the joint of Elwell. 29. The day June 9 did come and we did pass forth unto the road of serious challenge. Look ye at both halves of the road, we were told by distin- guished men of great erudition, and Eliot did cry loudly, Yea, for verily I hath graduated. 30. That very morning did Burke get a date for the Prom and was happy. It was his second date of the year. 31. Rolly did play beautifully and then we did drive to Eliotfs for a dry after party even though it did rain. 32. The next morning did the multitudes of new alumni follow excellent directions to Wade's in Nahant. Go ye from Wellington Circlej' but, alas, no one Knew where Wellington Circle beeth. Most didst arrive using radar. 33. Jon Smith, still of the Plebian masses didst find alluring the charms of Gail Welch but yea she did proclaim his masculine body transparent. Quot- eth she, I canst see plain through thee little boy! 34. In the market places the bones did roll and the money changers did flourish. 51. uixon did proposetn many toasts and was tgain in the spirit of things, or should one sayeth that he spirit of things beeth in him.
