The effort and preparations which have produced our Yearbook have been directed toward the preser- vation of the tradition and the function of Belmont Hill for all those who have taken part. It is our hope that it will be accepted as a symbol of our feeling for the school-the deep pride, faith, and devotion which has grown within us all during our years at Belmont Hill. Our thanks go to the faculty, students, and friends who have helped make this Yearbook possible, in their spirit of cooperation they are typical of those who have combined to make the Belmont Hill School.

ROGER FENN DUNCAN For seventeen years Mr. Roger Fenn Duncan has proved to the boys of Belmont Hill that a philosophy of competence which demands the pursuit of impossible perfection can often result, not in frustration, but in achievement. The charge which sparks this extraordi- nary man continually invigorates his English students and crew. Yet nothing captures more succinctly, we feel, the mental and physical energy that is Mr. Duncan than his advice to Lyceum debaters, imparted with a sincerely facetious smile: Deny everything, admit nothing, and shout loudly for prooflv 4 CONCERNING DEDICATED MEN At graduation time the word dedicated is used frequently and loosely. Last J une Mr. Hamilton was dedicated, so was Dr. Fuessg so was the faculty as a whole, at one time Dick Birnie referred to me as dedicated. Danny Barnard was described as a dedicated crew captain, and even this book is dedicated. And always there is an implication that the dedicated one is somehow almost too noble to be a mortal man, that very few people, least of all the speaker, are dedicated. There is also a suggestion that if the dedicated one had a little more ordinary common sense, he would at once cease to be dedicated and make a little money for himself. I see the word in a very different way. By derivation it means Hhaving given - having given oneself for a purpose worthy of the gift. I believe that most people are dedicated, and I am sure that all happy people are. Look at it this way. Each of us is like a man who is given a million dollars and is told that he must spend it all within the year. He can keep none of it, take none of it with him. He can give it away, invest it, spend it in riotous living, do as he likes, but on New Year's Eve it vanishes with a stroke of the magician's staff. Your treasure is your life. How would you spend it? The world is a complicated and apparently confused place, but it appears to be governed by natural laws. Would it not be worth while to untangle the confused mass of empirical knowledge and scattered observation we have before us and reduce some part of it to a comprehensible system? Then, perhaps, if we under- stood the system, we could use and develop it further to untangle more confusion. Behold, then, the dedicated scientists, picking away at the knots in this prodigious- ly tangled fish line and trying to reduce it to order. There are some two and one-half billion people living on the earth. We have productive capacity enough to keep them all well fed. Yet a large percentage are hungry, and some are starving. Would it not be worth while to spend some of our treasure finding out why this is true and seeing what can be done about it? Behold, then, the dedicated agronomist or economist. These two and one-half billion people are often at odds with each other. They disagree on fundamental beliefs about the proper way to conduct their lives and governments, about the relationship they feel must exist between God and Man, about what is really good and true and beautiful. The dedicated philosopher, priest, or statesman spends his treasure in this cause. It would be tedious to outline the work of other professions. Doctors, lawyers, teachers, businessmen, artists, carpenters, and plumbers-each has his dedication, that on which he spends the treasure of his life allotted to him. In the next few years you will decide how to spend your treasure. Make an intelligent and conscious decision. Pick something which you feel is really worth doing and which you enjoy doing. Prepare yourself for it as effectively as the current stage of human knowledge will allow, and go to it with all your energy and imagination. This is really what dedication means. In this sense almost everyone you know is dedicated. Join us. We will be glad of your help and proud to have you with us. R.F.D. 5 Q n l ? 'S F 'fu 5 6 Every year I am cdnsulted by young college graduates and by some who have been engaged in other kinds ofbwork as to the attractions of teaching as a career, and what is required of a man to be suc- cessful in this profession. My answers in- variably reflect my appreciation of the kind of men who have served on the fac- ulty of our School and the responsibilities they gladly assume in serving our boys. Many of them have done so with a spirit of dedication to Belmont Hill and their work here for many, many years. No words of mine, howeverg could ever prop- erly express my appreciation of how for- tunate the School has been in having them or what they have contributed to the lives of so many young men. These are the kind of people who should teach and for- tunately do. y , Charles F. Hamilton FACULTY 7 CHARLES FREDERICK HAMILTON, A.B Headmaster Mr. Hamilton was graduated from Williams in 1933.

I take great pleasure in recording here my congratulations to the Class of 1962 and my sincerest wishes for your future happiness and success. You have been a staunch, unified group of boys who have given much to your school and in return, I feel, received much. We shall look on you as a strong class among the Alumni of Belmont Hill, and I hope we may continue to help you realize your ambitions for yourselves and for those worthwhile endeavors for others which Iam sure you are well prepared to undertake.

Q E v L i Q z 3 1 20 In facing a brave new world, which is not always so brave, but ever new, a Senior is cog- nizant of the sense of already belonging ta a group which has been unised for a common purpose. Sometimes the unity has been uneasy and the purpose dimmed, but the feeling re- mains and forms a pattern that never fails to touch the measure of a lifetime. There will be other groups, some perhaps more permanent, but none will bring more poignant ties. It is on the threshold of maturity that man first catches a glimpse of the stature which is his to com- mand. That look, when shared with others, is unforgettable. John Henry Funk SENIORS First Row: Egan, C. Casselman, Robinson, Birnie, M. Nigro, Wallace, A. Brooks, Second Row: R. Stewart Litvack, Lockshin, Bartol, Druker, Hall, Third Row: Karp, P. Shapiro, J. White, J. Smith, Fourth Row: Hightower, J. Parker, Morton, Perry, Lynch, Fifzlz Row: CLASS EXPLANATIO Actually, it's pretty difficult to explain exactly why. You just don't know about this sort of thing. You never know. That's why it's probably best to take it from the beginning, where it all started. That was in the Lower School, in Grade Five. There were thirteen of us then: Nigro, Egan, Duncan, Druker, Robinson, Moravec, Mattlage, Densmore, Burroughs, Berman, Danser, Ladd, and Wales. We were just a bunch of kids, not really knowing what to expect. The tirst shock of reality came early, as we, in our own innocent fashion, tried to enter the Monkey House by the stairs in front. The lot of us was immediately assailed by a screaming horde who told us in no uncertain terms that the 'Seventh Grade Steps were saorosanct. Well, that killed that, and for two years we had to go in by the side door. Pretty soon we got settled into routine. In the afternoon, we would all traipse into the Rest Room, and listen to Mr. Gregg read us Red Horse Hill, a story of love, lust and passion for the eleven-year-old mind. It was all about a kid who had a horse-might have been a dogg we're not sure- and the horse ran away. C75 Enough of that. We found to our surprise that Robinson was the only intelligent one among us, being alone on the first Fifth Grade Honor List. He had learned to do things the Belmont Hill way. This 1 Willwerth, Furcolo, Weinbaum, Bradlee, Willett, Har- rington, Sixtlz Row: W. Ross, Boehlke, Meyer, Colla, Keyes, Moravec, L. Palmer, Cole, Duncan, Seventh Row: Barnard, Petrie, A. Johnson, P. Worthen. Missing: E. Hubbard. was also the only time that Nigro ever missed it. Anyway, it was enough to make a president of Donny, an honor the distinction of which we doubted some, since the Howe Building hadn't been built yet, and real student govern- ment was as yet uninitiated. Fifth Grade geography class found Robinson combing Nigrois hair, and Nigro combing Robinson's hair as Mr. Gregg explained the rudiments of cartography. Shortly thereafter, it was found that the Super List had evaded the grasp of this intrepid pair. And so it went. While the birds sang merrily in Mr. Gregg's favorite swamp, we moved on to the Sixth Grade, all except for Bing Burroughs, who moved on with Dad. The next year we returned. Our numbers were increased by Ted Bush, Mike MacMann, Charlie Starr, Bill Ross, Bill Karp, Drue Linton, Peter Shaw. Paul Weiss, and Jon White. Really not too much happened that year. Maybe it was because we thought we'd have enough fun when we elected David Berman president. We still didn't have any student government. But the year wasn't entirely empty. They divided us into sections, and we came to realize the difference between A, B, and C. The midgets had an un- defeated football season, and Mr. Gregg got mad at Nigro again, breaking his beloved globe in the process. It all started when Nigro and Starr began to prove, quite con- vincingly, that the North Pole was not the top of the earth. Oh well! Music classes were fun too. Every Friday we'd crowd into the specially equipped music room Clines on the blackboardl, and while Mr. Cowperthwaite cleared the frogs out of his notebook, we had spitball fights. No- body ever won these battles, though, not even Mr. Cow- perthwaite. By now we had begun to relish institutional food, Mr. Croke, who made up the seating assignments, liked to sup- plant his fare with birthday cakes, amassing a grand total of eleven during one two-week stint. There were few com- plaints, though, and even fewer left the Sixth Grade hungry. It was a good year, if you like that sort of thing. Seventh Grade arrived, and the Sacred Steps were ours. Other new additions were Wink Willett, Doug Hall, Don Rutley, John Litvack, Aldie Harrington, and Dick Birnie. Also a new music teacher arrived-the third in three years-and after a while he too gave up and went to Cornell. Robinson returned as Class President, starting his immortal string, which was fine, except that it was broken at an unfortunate time. Football saw Dougie start early, playing the older role, also playing on a particularly huge Junior football team. On the soccer field, Wink showed us that maybe besides turning red in Mr. Smith's English class he might be of some use to the Varsity in a few years. Jaro, or Yogi, as was fashionable, started a debating club, but parliamentary procedure, something which would prove to be of great use, demoted and dejected Jaro to the rank of member. Charlie Starr was not a good citizen, so Mr. Gregg gave him two half hours, one for being last in the milk line four days in a row, and the other for being sad. These two, along with the other thirty-six left a record never to be broken. Ladd learned how to play sports, and win, even if it wasn't the nice way, but he won often enough to get Mr. Dis prize. Elvis Hall thought that this was most un- fair, and we experienced the first of much bull that un- fortunately was in store for us. Litvack won some art prizes, which, unfortunately, were the first of many for him. Druker won a scholastic prize, which, unfortunately, was the last for him. Sping turned out to be a big time for baseball. Ladd was of great assistance when he was able to swear to himself, and avoid being censured by Mr. Morton. Druker was pitching some then. Graduation came and we got our first look at Mr. Funk. Golly, he wore nice clothes. The Second Form came, and we found that we had gained Wallace, Weinbaum, Lockshin, Cole, Bartol, Web- ster for a while, Howlett, McCormack, Stewart, and Nichols. It was a long walk over the hill, but J.H.F. gave immeasur- able fatherly assistance to help us make the climb. He taught us about all sorts of things in Ethics class, includ- ing sex. Some of us escaped taking it until the following year, and that was when we had Worthen, Pete let us know that it would be a far better course if he taught it, and few doubted. We believed him then. Some started to learn that money and happiness are nearly interrelated and so began to sell book covers at a small 200fZ: profit. Most of these had some college on the front, and so we started to choose our colleges by the beauty of their book. Not many chose Harvard, though, because Doug let us know that only finks went there, and he played Senior Football. That was that, and so everyone chose between Notre Dame, Michigan, Ohio State, and Stanford. They were awfully pretty. The Howe building finally came and with it came stu- dent government. We had our own Howe in fifth period study, but he wouldn't write us a constitution, so it was no good. What's a student council without a constitution so they can have something to do, like rewrite it. We didn't know, so Robinson didn't railroad anything really shaking at the Student Council meetings. We started to appreciate the new Chapel services, and particularly enjoyed an ex- hibition during which Bolan nearly blew apart the Chapel. That was fun. We were denied the benefits of Mr. Downes because they hoped to ease the transition from the Monkey House by letting us take only four courses. Even Nigro. Some of us had it even easier because we took Latin from the Jeep. Karp started to twitch a little more, but it didn't seem to hurt him much because he beat Nigro in Latin. We had a good Junior hockey team, but Ladd and Berman had considerable trouble deciding who would play first line. Mr. Sawyer settled it and neither did. During that term we had a perfect record for detentions, but three days before the term was over, four boys trespassed over the white line. Mr. Funk informed us that we were animals, but later revoked the detentions, and we finished the term like a bunch of nice guys. As Third Formers we nobly assumed responsibilities as heads of the Middle School. Some of us learned more about the man in the front office as we struggled through our first year of French with him. We would renew acquain- tances with him in the Sixth Form, but until that time, as he said, we would remain dead from the waist up. He de- cided that he would give us hours that year, and to make up for last year's escapade, five of us served them standing. Some of us fainted and others did at the Tabor basketball game afterwards. We had a dance, but all of us left at eleven to go to the Kos's for a little bit quieter atmos- phere. Mr. Funk disapproved, and we never saw the second dance which we had been promised. Politics came to the Hill in the form of posters that could stick on anything. This was ended when Charlie Starr put one on the clock in Eliot and a few periods ran longer than expected. Some of us tried to learn about ancient history, but most of us spent our time gazing at the Moon. Egan, Litvack, and Wallace played the lead in an operetta which went well except that Litvack's voice changed three days before show- time, and so the girl ended up singing considerably lower than the boy. The boy, incidentally, was Egan, whose voice didn't change until he started making Sextant announce- ments when he was a senior. Danny' Barnard arrived three weeks late, and we all thought that he was a little rich kid from Europe. It was disappointing to learn that he was only another little wasp from Winchester, who had gotten the measles. He was the first to go steady, however, CLindaJ and he even kissed her after some pretty basic coaching from Worthen. All of us found out about Belmont society from Mrs. Nott's dancesg that was our last year of assemblies. It was also the first year of Ivy Joe Gurney. We had a fine time in English III- A8cD while Mr. Gurney diagrammed masterpieces of Eng- lish literature so that the board looked more like it be- longed in Room 18. Even Cole got disturbed when the cockroach in the inkwell of The Secret Shafer turned out to be a symbolic synthesis of Man, Woman, Birth, Death- Infinity. Mr. Gurney snapped his belt and made sure we had gotten that. It was a good year, though, and out of it we got Brooksie, Casselman, Barnard, Worthen, Dick Reed, Henry Meyer, Joe Greenleaf, Stan Colla, Sognnaes, and V. J . Petrie, and Bruce Stone, theoretically. These were growing years, and the following year we took in John Perry, Al Johnson, John Parker, Will Morton, Pete Shapiro, Jon Smith, and, for a while, Lonny Marquand. Lonny meant well, but he was misunderstood. Mr. Dun- can couldnit understand why Lonny didn't like to do his work, and Mr. Maxwell didn't realize how much Lonny enjoyed smoking in his room. Unfortunately, these mis- understandings accumulated, and Lonny left the school in a cloud of smoke with the flag at half-mast. Petrie was falling apart at the seams, and this was more than Ivy Joe could take. As V. J. sauntered into class one day looking his usual impeccable best, Mr. Gurney got stuffy, and sent him back to the dorm, just because Jon had no socks, buttons, or bows. Time passed, and few noticed any marked change. Jon Smith came, and astonished us all with his superior intellectual capacity. He was obviously a highbrow. After a couple days in French II, Jon thought he'd best go back and set the pace at the premier level, feeling that course to be a particularly searching experience. Student Government had become the real thing, and we ran our own study halls. Everybody hummed, and Mort, with his golden tones, failed to evade the Druker dragnet. Sgt. Druker let us know, however, that it was Willwerth and White who were the bad apples in that study hall. Worthen filled Markis bed, and Henry's shoes with shaving cream. He filled Petrie's shoes too, but Jon remarked that it felt rather pleasant, and sloshed off to class. That was the year when they made apple-jack in the dorms, until Dan Hennessey discovered it and raided the rooms. Strangely, no one complained to Mr. Mattlage or Mr. Funk. Don Rutley not only got his hair cut in the wrestling room, but got his face cut in a locker room brawl with MacDonald. Then he got cut again, caught sneaking a weed on the J.V. bus to play the Governors in baseball. The next cut occurred shortly after graduation. Doug decided to play games with V.J., and happened to catch him out of a gaming mood. The game ended with Petrie striking out, and the Christian Crusader leaving study hall with his nose streaming with his red badge of courage. Star Promotions worked for a rematch, but Hall denied any anti-semitism whatsoever, and the issue was dropped. John Perry forgot about his hair that year, and after a while, we forgot about John, not being able to see him. Stanley started a doozer of an eraser fight which Dick joined because he hadn't gotten responsible. It ended when some hammerheaded youngster got it in his lap. Aldie was continually marked absent from study hall because he sat behind Bartol and no one could see him. Time marched on, except in History IV-D, where time was subjected to somnambulism, and slowed to a sleepy dawdle. This early exposure to Mr. Fisher was ignored by V.J., who preferred to withdraw into his overcoat to ponder an Israeli newspaper. He still pulled the highest mark in the class. That's V.J. for you. The Fifth Form year came and so did Foster Furcolo, George Keyes, Bill Lynch, and Rheinie. Hall started Eng- lish with the crew coach, but feared that he might jeop- ardize his chances for the first boat, and switched to Mr. Willey's class. Arguments raged as to which man was harder. Lockshin settled it when he was temporarily forced to stop drawing rocket ships in Mr. Willeyis class while Egan and Casselman continued to write ridiculous notes in Mr. Duncan's A-section. There is still considerable speculation, however. Pistol Pete Worthen came back from Nevada to excite Doug with tale of love and lust in the Wild West. Eric kept quiet. Our days began with football history class, featuring Mr. Fisher. Many of us were stimulated, mostly by broken chairs and massacred table tops. fRemember Ronnie's girl'?J Half of this stimulus was gone by March, however, when the Decency Committee removed the tables. There was al- ways the challenge of historical interpretation. for there was a whole new language to be learned. Mainly the lang- uage of the instructor. In Fifth Form History we were Bahtol, Meyah, Darukah etc., and we learned about squat- tah's rights. Jack Tylah, the Kansas Nebrasker Act, and Nick Biddle of the Bank of tha You Nited States. We really began to get a kick out of being frustrated, confused and llunked by Mr. Fisher's multiple choice tests, which Smith said were objectionable, but which most of us said were ambiguous. All we could hope for was that the test would be subjective, and that his wife would correct them. Mr. Shapiro came to the hill to sell Israeli bonds, to explain in detail how to shoot a lion without ruining its pelt, to tell some tragic tales of the war, and to tell us French vocabulary words that we should know. Henry Meyer gulped and sputtered in French III about getting to work and let's-stop-talking-about-tennis-and-Mr.-Humphreys'-dog until Mr. Humphreys told him to shut up. Fall sports were nothing to speak of and Ron didnit get a letter. Winter came and Barnard assumed the full title of Dan the Manfagerl. Rather than get his shoes all icy and cold, V.J. hopfooted it to the dining hall in his bare feet one wintry eve. Not too long afterward, he surprised and im- pressed Lanse and Ron and everyone else by wearing a new tie. Mr. Max had to send him back to the dorm, how- ever, to put a shirt on. Casselman challenged the Sixth Form to a snowball fight, which we won hands down, up- setting more than a few by disabling Capt. Andy Cornwall and Jungle Jim Hennings for the remainder of the season. The Basketball team lost on Black Wednesday and there was gloom. We really didn't know why because the wres- tling team had been losing for years. Captains were elected and Ron didn't get a letter. Spring came and our thoughts turned to love. Eric and Doug fell into the Palace of Love and were fascinated by Fabulous Fanny and Cupcakes Laroo. As far as Doug was concerned, though, there was Tina, and there was Panny, and there were probably two or three more that he planned to marry at one time or another. Pokross voiced his opinion on the humor of the whole thing and almost got made into soap. Aldie was trapped in a web of love with Marnie Weeks-was this Doug's influence? Dick was so mad after Aldie set him up with a pig that he broke his station wagon. Birnie possessed an extraordinary temper. Crew was being seasoned by Worthen who seemed to have just no energy on Mondays. There was some greatly excited speculation about this, but it soon Petered out. Some thought he was just worn out from talking. The Panel room became Cole's hole, and everyone could hear Perryis scarf. Jim was quiet and tried to be a medalist. Mr. Preston got stopped speeding to Quinsigamond in the great yellow monster, except for the second boat, this was the only speeding done by the Crew that day. Lanse was number one on the Tennis Team and was elected president of the Glee Club, thus successfully completing his grand entrance to the Hill. Other elections suddenly transformed Dicki and Danni into President Birnie and Cap'n Barnard. Dougie would have to be content with being Bruno. The year ended and Ron wasn't given a letter. Ron also managed to flunk the History final along with two-thirds of the rest of the members of Mr. Fisher's General History bull sessions. Few were very upset at seeing the Fifth Form year come to a close. True, there was happy song of Claudia and Ginny, but Claudia moved to Washington and Ginny wouldn't be seen again until the following December. By the time we were seniors, we were down to forty-two. Forty-one actually, but rather than let us be an odd class, Ax Bohlke came over from Germany to swell our intel- lectual ranks. Not only was Ax like brilliant, but he was almost as tall as Mr. Calder, and could still walk like the rest of us. This was unquestionably a big boost to our morale-Mr. Calder later moved Ax to Mr. Ingham's sec- tion-but it was sort of disconcerting to have him finish sixth out of the whole class in the first term. Ax was a nice guy anyway. We were seniors, though, and this weld been waiting for. When you're a senior you get all sorts of honors and priv- ileges, like walking out of Chapel first, and we'd heard that there was really nothing quite like it. Some of us had waited eight years for this, and two had waited nine. The disillusionment started to set in early. Schedules had been changed, and we could only walk out of the Chapel first three times a week. As if that weren't enough, the seventh period had been made into classroom time, cutting out the after-dinner smoke. And then there was the Threat of completely cutting out the Common Room, that Cradle of Sixth Form Liberty. To top it all off, one villainous mem- ber of the faculty looked darkly at us and informed us that inactive seniors would attend study hall throughout the afternoon. Massive trauma. President Birnie explained that this was all a part of growing up, and that he too would have to miss his cigarette, that he too would have to suffer right along with the rest of us. There were those who doubted him. As it turned out, however, the Jeep ironed out all of our problems, and the senior year we had en- visioned began to take shape. This was the first of many times throughout the year when we discovered that in time of crisis, Mr. Hamilton was a senior's best friend. The year started off Well, however, Litvack broke up with Teddi, and along with about 2096 of the class, got into Columbia the next day. Lasell Junior College was subse- quently discovered, and Casselman went on a Fox hunt. This was shortlived, but there were notable recurrences during the year. Shapiro began early, setting a pace of 3.2 days of school attended per week. There was speculation that he would shatter the mark set by Bruce Stone from 1958-60, but Pete proved too consistent, and the only record shattered was the one sent to the colleges. Danny was going with J aneg there were those who disapproved. Athletics got under way, and the outlook for football was excellent. There were seven starters returning, with the addition of Bobby Walsh and a secret weapon which was hopefully called Peter Worthen. Worthen was about 6-3, 200 lbs., and by far the strongest player on the team. Coach Fisher realized that with some work he could bring out Worthenls tremendous potential as a football player, and so he let him kick off, sometimes. The team had good support, however, and in spite of an unfortunate opener, the school was behind them all the way, win or tie. Blest be the tie that binds. On the soccer field, the team spoiled an otherwise perfect record by winning its eighth game. They had spirit, desire, determination, sportsmanship, con- sistency, and injuries, few lettermen, and fewer goals. Birnie recognized the shortcomings of the team, and re- marked that it doesn't matter whether you win or lose but how you play the game. We sure hoped so. During the fall we became aware of the existence of an individual who called himself Bruno Hallinski. We knew that in reality he was actually Doug Hall, but Bruno was not very smart, and didnit realize this. These frequent lapses of identity-i.e. Doug one minute, Bruno one minute later-were misunderstood until we read Hamlet and found out that this was only his antic disposition. Tragic. We also found that the best way to tell Doug and Bruno apart was by what they said. Bruno would say that he was gonna rippumapart and Doug would mention that he was going to get married. Either way we had to humor him. The interim period between the end of the sports season and exams was, as always, a busy time. The Athletic Council found time to award letters to l4fZ: of the entire student body. This really put it on Lynchie, although he was pretty much recovered by Christmas. Mr. Walworth prepared for Hockey, putting marks on all the boards that had to come down. Bill Karp of the Work Squad helped out by taking down all the boards with no mark on them, and while explaining to Mr. Walworth in Cole's Hole, knocked down the fire extinguisher and sprayed the entire storage area. Everybody, even Mr. Aloian, hated him. The season's-end migration to the Common Room took place as expected and there were many surprises. Doug-it may have been Bruno-learned that George Keyes was a senior when the latter protested wildly at being thrownout of the Common Room. This was some- thing in itself, George not being a wild sort of guy. But as we assumed Georgie into our ranks, we lost Bobby Walsh. Walshie was revealed to be a Fifth Former by Mr. Jenney, who discovered this while writing out the first term comments. The Common Room took in a new faction of pipe smokers-e.g. Smith, Egan, Johnson, Parker, Brad- lee, etc. Hall told Smith that no, he didn't mind him smoking a pipe, only that he resented having Smith empty it into his motorcycle boots. Smith grunted his regrets and emptied it into Doug's pocket. Arture asked yase ou no, if this was not ver' fonny, and the Perfect Eric responded in an unintelligible Cuban accent. This was not unusual for Eric, who incidentally was taking out a girl whose name was the Perfect Berg. Honest Dave Wallace began to turn out the Great Yel- low Rag quite regularly, and it could not be denied that everyone in the school realized what was going on in the Student Council meetings. Probably as a result of his un- believable cleverness, Honest Dave was made Class Sec- retary. That should teach him. As we settled down for the winter, we settled down. The activities began again, and as before, Lyceum and Glee Club led the list. Lyceum attracted a great crowd, on paper anyway. Nigro harangued about how everybody should sacrifice his time and effort to debate, but it usually turned out that he and Garth talked themselves dry when- ever a date rolled around. In fact, the only time he ever got any real response was when it was surreptitiously re- CContinued on p. 1531 DANIEL FLETCHER BARNARD JR. 16 Taft Drive, Winchester, Mass.

The members of that group universally admired for their unity showed their colors that morning and displayed themselves as one of the most unconventionally- minded classes that has yet struggled to the top of the hill. The emotional strain of the growing young body, which Mr. Funk so profoundly told of in Ethics Class, was decided evident as Ron Druker gained the fixtures of Liz Taylor, Mike Nigro took on the piece-of-hair-over-one-eye and block mustache of the Fuhrer, Doug Hall returned to the Bruno Image for a I-got-ma-foball-wit-me-too college interview, Don Robinson gave an off-the-cuff demonstration of how-to-run-a-class by B. Shapiro, and Bob Egan voiced the views of a foreign soil in a performance that brought him back to the good old days of the Dramatic Club. Esquire Day was indeed a day when letting oil steam was hopefully innocent enough to injure no one except the culprits themselves when Graduate School reference sheets start rolling in. 47 CLASS POLL Most Likely to Succeed Mike Nigro Done Most for Belmont Hill Jim Cole Shyest Ax Bohlke Most Popular Eric Bradlee Best Driver J .A.L.

Together they have molded a unijied spirit and a school with an enviable position. The maturity, both intel- lectual and social, of the student body is one of the school's greatest assets. The desire for growth, the ability of self-administration, and the sense of individual responsibility make the school a success. Belmont Hill is non-static, and is constantly meeting new challenges. It is not living in traditiong but is continuously creating one. Nathaniel B. Bates THE SCHOOL 'ss' FIFTTJ FORM First Row: Bernstein, Wilson, Peck, Maxwell, Garth, Bell, Perkinsg Second Row: P.

Student Council Under the direction of President Richard W. Birnie and Vice-President Donald B. Robinson, the Student Council continued to maintain student leadership at Belmont Hill. The Council supervised student-proctored study halls in Howe Building and the Reading Room, and with the aid of newly-revised study hall rules, good proctors, and enthusiastic stu- dent support, a minimum of disciplinary action was necessary. With the Fourth Formers moving into the old Lower School building, the Student Council em- barked upon a program to provide them with stu- dent proctoring. In the fall Fifth Formers ran the study halls, while in the late winter members of the Fourth Form assumed the job of proctoring. After a gratifying beginning, the study hall be- havior and cooperation deteriorated somewhat, and faculty supervision returned for the closing weeks of school. Running the annual Charity Drive, the Student Council collected a record total of 95716.00 in con- tributions. Guided by ballots which students had iilled out at the commencement of the drive, the Council divided the money proportionately among fifteen worthy charities. The school continued to subscribe to the Foster Parents Plan, through which it has for two years supported Vassilios Getimoglou, an underprivileged Greek boy. The American Can- cer Society, United Fund, Care, The WGBH-TV Reconstruction Fund, The Massachusetts Heart Fund, and the Jimmy Fund also received generous contributions. Hindered by schedule complications, the Coun- cil was able to sponsor only two outside speakers. The first was Father Boyle of St. Joseph's Parish in Belmont, who spoke to the school on the customs and beliefs of Catholicism, and the second, Mr. Sabam Saigian, who told of his native land of Indonesia and the role of the World University Service there. In an attempt to revive the Book of the Term program, the Council sponsored the reading of Slums and Suburbs, by James B. Con- ant, however, a qualiiied speaker could not be found to comment on the book. The Student Council continued to run the Can- teen as in past years. Although an excessive amount of litter around the campus forced the Canteen to be closed temporarily, it was soon reopened and ran well for the rest of the year without a litter problem. For the first time, a system was arranged with the American Vending Company by which the Coun- cil received 5'Z: of the money put into the machines. This commission amounted to over S70, which was used to purchase books for the school library. Recommendations for the iirst time solicited from the faculty aided the Council in its annual revision of the school handbook. X . xi' ,f First Row: Brooks, Willett, Lynch, J. Smith, Bradleeg Second Row: Mr. Croke, Robinson, D. Amon, Birnie, Barnard, L. Palmer, Mr. Ingham. Athletic Council This year's Athletic Council set firm in every- onels mind that to win a Varsity letter, a person must make a real contribution to a sport. Recently the feeling among the student body has been that letters were haphazardly awarded to nearly every member of a Varsity team whether a player's per- formance during the season merited it or not. To correct this apparent failing in the letter-awarding policy and to give credit to those team members who most deserve it, the Council tightened the require- ments for receiving a Varsity letter. In the fall the Athletic Council met to elect Mr. Ingham as its faculty advisor, William Lynch, base- ball captain, as its President, and William Willett, captain of soccer and tennis, as its Secretary. The Council also included the captains of the other Varsity sports as well as Lansing Palmer, the tennis representative, Donald Robinson, managerial rep- resentative, and Richard Birnie, President of the Student Council. In response to the controversy that arises each time letters are awarded, the Council considered the possibility of having the coaches and captains of the particular sports without the Council decide who should receive a letter. This idea was not ac- cepted because it took away one of the Council's main purposes, that of establishing the criteria for awarding letters by vote of an unbiased student sampling. After the defeat of several compromise proposals, it was, however, finally decided that when the time came to choose recipients, the coach would discuss his team members with reference to periods, matches, or innings played and not deal in ex- cessive personality evaluation. The Council also voted that there should be two types of managers in hockey and crew: a team manager and a rink or boathouse manager. Letters would be awarded to both of these managers if they were in the Upper School. Going into effect next year will be a plan which the Council adopted to give special meaning to the color of a letter sweater. Anyone receiving a Var- sity letter would be eligible for a blue sweater. White letter sweaters, however, would be given only to boys who have received four or more Varsity letters in a variety of sports or three letters in any one particular sport. This measure thus gives extra recognition to those boys in the school whose ability in and contribution to athletics makes them out- standing. President Lynch organized the Welcoming Com- mittee this year which did a fine job of answering the needs of visiting teams. Volunteers make up the majority of this committee. First Row: Litvack, Lockshin, Cole, Weinbaum, Perry, Second Row: R. Stewart, Wallace, Nigro, C. Casselman, Smith, Mr. Calder. Panel Volume 9 of the Panel reached new heights of journalistic success by winning a Medalist rating in the Columbia Press Association's thirty-eighth an- nual competition. An unprecedented score of 966 out of 1000 points merited the Medalist rating, the Association's highest, which had eluded Belmont Hill's student newspaper for the previous six years. Editor-in-Chief James H. Cole was assisted by a skilled adviser, Mr. Frederick 'SFCC' Calder, and by a worthy Editorial Board: News Editor John A. Litvack, Feature Editor Michael F. Nigro, Jr., Sports Editor Mark J. Weinbaum, and Photography Editor John F. W. Perry. Although Business Man- ager Lockshin's T-Bird fundi' never materialized, his Panel fund proved adequate. Volume 9 instituted two new columns on the editorial page, and modified a third, to broaden the paper's scope and keep it from becoming a closed shop. Art Beat, handled capably by Stuart Davis ,63, viewed everything from foreign films to Jack- son Pollock with an eye to clarity. Bookmark,', an addition reviewing current literature, filled an important void in the newspaper's responsibility to its readers. i'Open Forum, written by volunteer- ing guest columnists, was expressly created as an outlet for student thought on significant issues of general interest. More full-column editorials enhanced treatment of school issues. t'Challenge And Responsej, J .H.C.,s statement of hope that students' sense of respon- sibility will parallel gains in material, was particular- ly well received. In the news department Editor Litvack, con- scientiously turning in his quota of stories issue after issue, reported many significant events in the school's life, including the language lab's opening, the proposal of a developmental reading course, and beginning work on the new gym. Feature Editor Nigro pushed and pulled his har- ried subalterns in a veritable imagination mill, cap- ping his department's achievements with a timely, extensive interview with Representative Harrison Chadwick on corruption in the Commonwealth. The sports department matured with experience under Editor Weinbaum, who soon became past- master at producing perfect live-column heads and managing reams of sports fact and figure, especially for the Panel's statistical summary at the end of each season. Photographer Perry was admittedly the most pro- fessional editor of the lot, snapping, performing algebraic gymnastics to make picture proportions tit, developing, and even scooting off with Nigro to Tufts for a retake when, on one occassion, a sub- ordinateis vital film didn't develop. The final task for Volume 9's editors was the election of their successors, those valiant few who emerged from the competition: Editor-in-Chief Stu- art A. Davis, News Editor Robert H. Bell, Feature Editor Frank G. Bernstein, Sports Editor Rodman A. Furnald, Photography Editor Henry H. Atkins, and Business Manager H.

Egan produced three fruitful issues of the publication, completing Volume Thirty-nine. Egan was assisted in the selection of material by Sixth Formers Daniel Barnard, Carl Casselman, James Cole, Michael Nigro, and David Wallace, Fifth Formers Donald Andreson, Stuart Davis, Charles Peck, and Peter Shaw, Fourth Formers Christian Elwell, William Sullivan, and James Young, and Third Formers John Reed and George Warren. John Litvack, John Perry, both '62, and Chester Atkins '66 served on the Art Board. The Columbia Scholastic Press Association, judg- ing, because of schedule discrepancies, two issues of Frank Purcell's Volume Thirty-eight and only one of Egan's, rated the Sextant in the f'Second Place category. Awarded 746 points out of a pos- sible l'00O, the magazine was given the lowest score it has received in recent years. The publica- tion was described as 'fdignified but unimaginative. The Sextant, which has perennially had one foot in the literary-art category, was again entered in the classification and lost points rather heavily on the creativity, balance, and makeup displayed by the Art Department. The makeup and content of the whole magazine were also criticized for their general mediocrity, but specific pieces were singled out for originality of treatment. The Sextanz retained its two traditional depart- ments, the quasi-flippant Short Sightings and Sportscene, a summary of the school's athletic activities. As a result of Columbia's criticism, the magazine's makeup became bolder, particularly in the use of pictures and unconventional placement of pieces. Egan's three issues contained a wide spectrum of prose and poetry selections. The December issue featured a two-page spread of cat pictures by Photo Editor John Perry accompanied by verse from T. S. Eliot. and among other selections, included com- positions by Peter Shapiro C'fWashington to New York J and Donald Andreson C'Another's Life J and poetry by James Cole. Contained in the spring issue were social satire by Carl Casselman, rural pathos by J. Alexander Moravec, and several re- sults of Sixth Form poetry classes. Egan's final pro- duction also presented various selections of poetry, as well as f'Letter to Cameron by Stuart Davis, 'fThe Recognition. a tale of repressed consciousness by Cole. a football epic by Egan, and Casselman's portrayal of a compulsive social failure. The Dwight R. MacAfee Memorial Sextanz Prose Prize -was awarded to James Cole, while Richard Stiles '64 received the George von L. Meyer Memorial Poetry Prize. In the spring, the Sextant Board elected Charles Peck its next Editor-in-Chief, and chose Robert Bell '63, Richard Stiles '64, Paul Zofnass '65, and Frederick Poulin '66 as new Associate Editors.

Lyceum 9 Guided by President Michael F. Nigro, Vice- President James H. Cole, and Secretary Daniel F. Barnard, the Lyceum had a season of varied and instructive activities. l96l-62 saw first the introduction of an organized program of classes in public speaking for the bene- fit of new and prospective members, in accordance with the amendment approved last year to the Ly- ceum Constitution. These classes, conducted by Mr. Roger F. Duncan, the organization's faculty adviser, took place during the three weeks preceding Christ- mas vacation. Following the Christmas holidays, the Lyceum be- gan what proved to be the fullest debating season in the organization's history, largely the result of holding as many dual contests as possible. In the first debate, January l2, Belmont Hill, represented by Henry H. Atkins '63, Robert H. Bell '63, and Nigro, lost to Governor Dummer on the National High School topic: 'fResolved: That the Federal Government should aid public education with direct grants to the states. The Lyceum suffered a double defeat at St. Mark's a week later on the same topic. David F. Hightower '62 and Nigro, upholding the affirmative, lost 689 to 687 on a point-system basis, the scoring system for the negative team of William W. Garth '63 and John H. Lovell '63 was not announced.

The affirmative, consisting of John A. Litvack '62, Frank G. Bernstein '63, Cole, and Barnard achieved an 840-725 victory on the resolution that The United States should continue to support the United Nations whether or not Red China is admitted. The negative team, despite an excellent rebuttal, was defeated. February 4, a negative team of Cole, Garth, and Lovell avenged an earlier defeat by winning over Governor Dummer, again on the national topic. For the seventh debate, a team of Hightower, Cole, Barnard, and Nigro successfully upheld the resolution that f'The John Birch Society is harmful to American society against Noble and Greenough. February 24, Belmont split a pair of contests with Tabor Academy. Robert F. Stewart '62 and Garth were successful in attacking Federal aid to education, while the affirmative team of Palmer and Nigro received an adverse decision. March 2, a team consisting of Robert L. Rines '64, Stuart A. Davis '63, Atkins, and Bell defeated Brooks unanimously on Resolved: That the Federal Government should subsidize public bomb shel- ters. March 9, the Lyceum again split, this time with Browne and Nichols, on the topic: Resolved: That the United States Government should secure the immediate overthrow of the present Cuban regime. Cole and Nigro, pointing to their opponents, lack of evidence, successfully maintained that no such action should be taken. An affirmative team of John W. White i62 and Hightower was defeated. The Lyceum concluded its regular season with a banquet and debating tournament at school the evening of March 15. The topic was Resolved: That United States Government aid to Yugoslavia should be signiticantly reduced in the fiscal year 1963? Belmont Hill teams, consisting of Cole and Nigro, for the affirmative, and Davis and Lovell for the negative, were successful in three of four con- tests against opponents from Tabor and Dana Hall, thus winning the tournament for the second year in a row. The occasion was also the first instance of co-educational debating at Belmont Hill. ln a post-season reciprocal event, three teams travelled to Dana Hall May 8 for an informal tournament from which Belmont again emerged vic- torious, winning two contests. Intramurally, several events of note marked the season, including numerous impromptu speaking contests, and guest speakers Mr. Robert D. Ward, who discussed Pan-Africanism, and Mr. Edward Watson, an expert on whaling history. Garth, Bell, and Atkins were elected President, Vice-President, and Secretary for 1962-63. ln April, the Lyceum again sponsored the Public Speaking Contest for the Woodbury Prize. Mr. Jenney, Mr. Calder, and Nigro serving as judges, awarded the decision to Daniel F. Barnard for his speech against the John Birch Society. Lyceum President Nigro, interrupted to have picture taken. Barnard, Cole and Hightower defend the John Birch Society. x gk k .

Chess Club With a total of twenty-nine active members, the Chess Club reached a new peak in membership during its 1961-62 season. In the past, limited in- terest has confined the organization to a fairly ex- clusive group of Upper School boys, but recent rising interest on the part of lower formers has brought considerable growth to the Club and promising pros- pects for its team. Although the size of the Club increased, suc- cess in matches unfortunately did not equal past records. This year's chess team, composed of the Club's top live or six players as determined by chess ladder competition, suffered the first two defeats in the Club's three year history by falling to Brooks and Roxbury Latin. Two thirds of its top players having graduated last year, the team was unable to continue its winning ways but still did a respect- able job for itself. In all, the Chess team won three matches, tied one, and lost two. After being soundly trounced in their first match, 4-1, by a strong Brooks team on January 21, the Chessmen faced a quintet from Middlesex on Feb- ruary 25. The contest was hard-fought all the way but resulted in a draw. Two weeks later saw Milton Academy journey to the Hill and give the Chess team its first victory of the season, 3-2. However, when the Hillies met Roxbury Latin on April 11, Belmont this time fell victim to the short end of a 3-2 score. Defeat seemed to temper the Chessmen and patch up the holes in their attack, for the linal two matches of the season saw Belmont again on the winning side of the ledger. A strengthened team fought a rematch with Milton Academy on May 6 and upset the opposition, 4-1. A week later Lex- ington High challenged the Hillies but were handily out-maneuvered in a 4M-1 W conflict. Capturing an undefeated slate for the season, Richard E. Stiles 164 was the team's outstanding player. Seeing a promising future in Stiles, the Club elected him next year's President to succeed Jona- than W. White '62. David R. Pokross '63 also filled a clutch position on the team and was chosen in- coming Secretary to replace Lawrence A. Willwerth '62, Strong support during the season was con- tinually shown by players George Keyes, Henry Meyer, Jefiery.Lockshin, William Ross, and Axel Boehlke, all '62. If interest from the lower formers continues and the oiiicers maintain the enthusiasm instilled in the Club by White and Willwerth, the Chess team can look forward to another respectable season next year. Photography Club This year saw the commencement of a new extra- curricular activity, the Photography Club. Formed by Henry E, Cooper '63 and Daniel F. Viles Jr. ,65, the Club experienced immediate expansion demon- strating significant interest in photography on the part of many students. Oi-licers for the first year were Cooper, Presi- dent, Gilbert G. Campbell '63, Secretary, Charles J. Thomas '64, Treasurer, and Viles, Representa- tive. Under their guidance, the Club sought one gen- eral objective-to train a group of photographers who can be of service to the school and its publica- tions, as well as developing a valuable skill for their own benefit. The ofiicers hope the Club will continue to be a serious and strong organization, overcoming the problems of earlier attempts which, shortly after their start, crumbled because of mis- direction. Probably the highlight of the Club activities this year was its part in the annual art exhibit, con- sisting of some twenty-one pictures, the best of those taken by Club members over the last year. With subjects ranging from a fossilized fern to a burning bungalow, the contest was won by Club President Henry Cooper for his portrait of Mr. Roger F. Duncan. lt is hoped that the Club will continue to grow in the future and become an important part of the Belmont Hill School.

Science Club An expanded membership, more than double that of last year, brought a new, wide variety of interests and skills to the Science Club for 1961-62. Under the leadership of President William C. Ross and Secretary Lawrence A. Willwerth, both '62, the Club was more active in submitting research proj- ects and papers than any other Science Club in recent years. Under the Club constitution renovated in 1959, candidates gained membership, which is on a yearly basis, by submitting a paper, delivering a speech before the Club, or by building a project for the annual Science Fair. Weekly meetings on Monday were devoted to lab and research work and on Thursday to entrance speeches and films. Among the topics discussed as entrance require- ments before the Club were the principles of navi- gation by Alan H. Johnson '62, the shielding of rocket nose cones by Charles A. Whipple '64, and the ins and outs of probability and chance by Porter E. Coggeshall 764. An IBM-sponsored film analy- zing the development and operation of the computer was also shown to the members. The Club's one outside speaker was Dr. Ascher Shapiro, professor of engineering at MIT and father of Peter M. Shapiro '62. Dr. Shapiro spoke on the advancement of scientific education and, in particu- lar, the new techniques by which science is taught in schools today. He demonstrated an experimental projector that instead of using rolls or reels of film employs small cartridges of film which can be in- serted or removed easily in a few seconds. No re- winding is ever .necessary because the film is con- tinually winding in the cartridge. In operating the machine, Dr. Shapiro showed portions of Physical Science Study Committee films on two aspects of fluid dynamics, wave interference and refraction. The annual Science Fair which the Club sponsors was put on in March. It was considered a great suc- cess because of the increased number and high qual- ity of projects compared to those of last year. In addition, there were several projects entered by stu- dents other than members ofthe Club. This has been a practice followed through the years, though the Club sponsors the Fair, the participants in the Fair are not limited to Science Club members. First prize was awarded to David E. Nizel ,66, who built a flipniac electric computer that performed one hundred and forty-four manipulations of a mathe- matical system based on the revolutions of a hexagon. Nizel went on to the State Mathematics Fair later in the month and captured first prize in the eighth grade division over fifty-four other entrants. Second prize at the Hill went to Stanley A. Colla and John O. Parker, both ,62, who together submitted a live demonstration and photographic analysis of the be- havior of waves in a ripple tank. That none of these boys were members of the Science Club is proof that anyone has a fair chance of winning. Honorable mention was awarded to Peter M. Hurley '64 for his graphing and discussion of the effects of radioactivity, to Jaro A. Moravec ,62 for his exhibit showing the development of wet and dry cell batteries, and to Club President Ross who con- structed a potentiometer which tested the pH value of solutions. Included among other projects in the Fair was a transistorized phonograph set entered by John D. Starr ,64, a working display of the Citi- zen's Band radio through which Glenn W. Merry and Paul F. Pietz, both '63, carried on man-on-the- street interviews around the campus, and a project built by John H. Dewey '64 on the effect of colored light on the respiration of plants. In its last meeting of the winter term, the Science Club elected Peter Feresten '63 as next year's Pres- ident, Glenn Merry as Vice-President, an office rein- stated because of the Clubls increased membership, and Paul Pietz as Secretary.

Experiencing a member- ship growth of 23 to 42 within a year, the Club improved both in tone and versatility under the di- Etition of Frank A. Modica in his second year at the 1 . On Sunday, December 17, the Glee Club and forty boys from the Middle School Choir combined in the Chapel to present the annual Christmas concert. Student organist Gilbert G. Campbell '63 accompanied the Clubs in several numbers. Mrs. Barbara Wallace, of King's Chapel, Boston, sang several arrangements of her own as guest soprano soloist in the concert and then joined the Clubs' 82 voices in the traditional English Melody of O Little Town of Bethlehem? To alleviate the crowded conditions that had occurred in past years at the one afternoon presentation, the Glee Clubs performed two concerts, one at 4:30 and the other at 7:00 in the evening. The second concert was a Dana Hall vesper serv- ice given in Bardswell Auditorium in Wellesley. The Glee Club arrived for an afternoon rehearsal van, Merrill, Lintner, Maxwell, F.

The Dana Hall Glee Club performed a group of pieces alone in the con- cert as did the Belmont Hill Glee Club, after which the groups combined to sing Hallelujah, Amen by Handel and t'The Lord is A Mighty God by Mendelssohn. Campbell again acted as organ solo- ist. Owing to the success of the program, another joint concert has been planned for next year. Wednesday, March 14, saw the Glee Club travel to the Massachusetts General Hospital to perform a concert with the Buckingham School Concert Choir. Patients, nurses, and doctors attended this program in the Chapel, where each week a dilferent school glee club in the metropolitan area is invited to sing. Two of the selections by the Belmont Hill Glee Club that were particularly well-received were a staccato-studded arrangement of the Negro Spiritual Set Down Servant and a rendition of the mournful Rebel Soldier? After the Buckingham Choir sang a few numbers, the Belmont Hill Club then joined the girls in the majestic piece, The Lord Is A Mighty God. An invitation has again been ex- tended to the Club to sing at Mass. General in early 1963. A joint concert-dance has also been scheduled with Buckingham for February 9 of that year. The final concert of the season was held at his- toric King's Chapel in Boston. Invited by Director of Music Daniel Pinkham during this, the 275th anniversary of the Chapel, the Club sang two selec- tions at the service. It has been an annual tradition for King's Chapel to invite independent school glee clubs to perform at the church. The choral arrange- ments presented by Belmont Hill Were Jerusalem- And did those feet- in ancient timesn and g'Ye Watchers And Ye Holy Ones? Commenting on the success of this year's Glee Club, Director Modica said, I do hope that the growing interest which was evident in the large number of boys who auditioned and the Club's ex- panded membership that resulted will continue to develop, and, I am sure, add greatly to student life at Belmont Hill. Much of the Club's achievement can be credited to President Lansing R. Palmer, Vice-president David G. Wallace, and Librarian William W. Willett. Robert A. Walsh, Gilbert G. Campbell, both '63, and Gerald M. Green '64 respectively will become the new officers next year. At Commencement Glee Club pins were awarded to those Sixth Formers who have been in the Club for at least two years: Douglas Hall, Eliot Hubbard, John Litvack, Lansing Palmer, Robert Stewart, David G. Wallace, and William Willett. Director Frank Modica Glee Club in practice session. First Row: Druker, Bradlee, Willettg Second Row: Smith, Casselman, Hall, Brooks. Dance Committee The Sixth Form Dance Committee began opera- tions in the winter of 1961 under the chairmanship of Eric D. Bradlee. After being elected to the post by the class of '62, Bradlee chose as his assistants Arthur Brooks, Carl Casselman, Ronald Druker, Douglas Hall, Jonathan Smith, and William Willett. In accordance with tradition, the February Winter Sports Dance of 1961 was given by the Dance Com- mittee in honor of the graduating class. The Dance took place in the Common Room while the inter- mission entertainment, held in the gym and organ- ized by Brooks and Casselman, featured a contest between a folk singing group from Winchester, a rock and roll combo from Newton, and a barber shop quartet from Belmont. Audience response measured by an applause meter awarded the win- ning S25 check to the Winchester Gleemen. SB5 con- solation checks went to the other two groups. The Winter Dance was such a success that Herbie Wayne's Band continued to provide the music for the Fall Sports Dance. Dinner parties for their res- pective teams by football captain Bradlee and soccer captain Willett preceded the dance. As in past years, the walls of the Common Room displayed photo- graphed heads of the football and soccer lettermen atop caricatured bodies by Mr. Togneri. Pumpkins and other signs of autumn decorated the mantle and the area around the fireplace. Folk singing by six Glee Club members comprised the intermission entertainment. John Litvack on guitar and banjo headed the group which also included Douglas Hall, Eliot Hubbard, Lansing Palmer, James Scott, and David Wallace. The February Sports Dance, planned by the Fifth Form Dance Committee headed by Thomas E. Werman '63, proved a successful tribute to the class of '62. The music was provided by the six piece band of Nick Abrahams, Jr. consisting of drums, sax, piano, trombone, electric organ, and vibra- phones. A small rock and roll group from Newton South High School supplied the entertainment dur- ing intermission. For the first time in school history, the annual June Prom was held outside in the Graduation Tent. A dinner party honoring the Senior Class was given by Mr. and Mrs. Hamilton preceding the dance. At the Prom a small dance floor lighted by Japanese lanterns was placed at one end of the tent while informal groupings of chairs were scattered around the grass area. Ken Reeves and his eightpiece band provided the music. The Revellers from Newton en- tertained with rock and roll during intermission and later played at Geof Bartolis after-party in Milton. Spirit Committee The Spirit Committee, founded by Robert N. Elwell '61, was formed to promote student interest in Belmont Hill athletic and other extracurricular activities. As a result of the group's efforts in publicizing coming events and conducting sports rallies, attendance at these affairs steadily improved, and the Committee made a start at solving the perpetual problem of student apathy towards school activities. Composing the Spirit Committee were nine Sixth Formers: Daniel Barnard, Richard Birnie, Eric Bradlee, Arthur Brooks, Carl Casselman, William Lynch, Donald Robinson, William Ross, and Wil- liam Willett. Each was a member of one or more clubs, committees, or Varsity teams and represented the views of his particular organizations in Com- mittee planning. During the fall the Committee put up posters in Bolles Corridor, Howe, and Eliot publicizing the weekend athletic contests, and distributed line-ups at the games. Before the opening contests with Milton, a large rally was held in the gym. The starting football and soccer teams were introduced, and after speeches by the coaches and captains, Lansing R. Palmer '62, assisted by John Perry Wicks and Charles R. Peck, both '63, led cheers, as the three continued to do during the fall. Foot- ball movies of one of last year's games were then shown. The enthusiastic support from Belmont students at Milton was indeed gratifying. The annual Friday night rally before the iinal fall contests against Governor Dummer was also organized and run by the Spirit Committee. The captains, coaches, and Headmaster each made a few remarks to the large turnout, after which the Committee served cider and doughnuts. A Gover- nor Dummer football player was then hanged and burned in efhgy in the bonfire. In Chapel that day Varsity players had also spoken to the Middle School to arouse interest, an idea that was re- peated several times during the year before im- portant contests. The improved student support that resulted from the Spirit Committee's activities was responsible in part for the fine performance of school teams during the fall and, indeed, the rest of the year. Victor The Bear made his appearance at the rallies, the football, soccer, and basketball games, and learned how to skate between periods on the hockey rink. Artistic, multicolored posters continued to attract spectators to the games and to Glee Club con- certs, Lyceum debates, and the Science Fair. In the spring the Committee revised its consti- tution and elected Douglas Amon, Henry Atkins, Douglas Bonner. Rodman Furnald, Charles Karelis, Charles Peck, McEwan Perkins, Paul Pietz, Robert Walsh, and John Perry Wicks, all '63, to compose next year's Spirit Committee. QW' First Row: Casselman, Robinson, A.

Shapiro and the skill and cooperation of the Club made the evening a complete success. Regarded as the best of the English drawing- room comedies, the play reflects Wilde's extremely cynical view of the practical value of middle-class morality, and contains many witty epigrams that typified the disintegration of this Victorian society. The action of the play concerns the marriage of two young girls, Gwendolen Fairfax and Cecily Cardew, to men called Ernest. George E. Wyner ,64 and Club President Donald B. Robinson ,62 played Gwendolen and Cecily respectively. Their two betrotheds were acted by V. Jonathan Petrie ,62 and Charles H. Karelis '63, a veteran of pre- vious Club performances '4Stalag 17 and A Sunny Morningf' Algernon Moncrietf CPetrieJ and John Worthing CKarelisJ both pretend to have the name of Ernest, a name with which the girls immediately fall in love. But when Gwendolen and Cecily find out later in the play that neither one of the boys is really named Ernest, they call off the marriage and run out on Algernon and John. After a short separation, the girls realize that they actually are in love and return to make up. Both men agree to have the Reverend Canon wood, Croke. Bonner, Petrie, J. Worthen, Campbell, D. Andreson, Weeks, Perkins, Mr. Shapiro. Chasuble, played by Jonathan W. White '62, chris- ten them with their real names when Lady Brack- nell, Gwendolen's mother, enters. Lady Bracknell, acted by Peter J. Maclaurin ,63, informs John that he and Algernon are brothers. Their parents having died, neither one knew this. John furthermore is not named John at all. Lady Bracknell found in some old army lists that the name of Mr. Moncrieff, the boys, father, was Ernest John, and that being eldest, John had originally been christened Ernest after his father. Upon hearing the news, the lovers happily embrace and look forward to getting married. Other supporting members of the cast were Fred- erick A. Quinn '64 as Miss Prism, Cecily's govern- essg William H. Gilpatrick '64, as the manservant, Lane, and Donald C. Andreson '63 as Merriman, the butler. The stage crew did an admirable job and built elaborate scenery under the leadership of Stage Manager Paul F. Pietz 763. Thomas H. Saliba '63 as Business Manager handled the eco- nomic affairs of the Club so well that it actually made a profit this year. The Club chose Karelis as its new President and re-elected Pietz and Saliba for a second term. The officers hope for more lower form participation next year and the same cooperation and versatility among the Club's members evidenced in this sea- son's production.

Cum Laude Society Since 1928 the faculty has elected a small num- ber of Fifth and Sixth Formers to the National Cum Laude Society. Equivalent to Phi Beta Kappa in college, the Society was founded in 1906 as the Alpha Delta Tau Fraternity, dedicated to the en- couragement of academic excellence in secondary school. Half the Sixth Form's Cum Laude Society mem- bership, the top ten percent, is selected at the end of the junior year. Chosen last year from the class of 1962 were James Hillard Cole, Robert Gerard Egan, Michael Francis Nigro, Jr., and Peter Mark Shapiro. Alden Clark Harrington, Jaroslav Alexandr Mor- avec, John Ferguson Weir Perry, and Victor Jon- athan Petrie, the remaining ten percent, were elec- ted to the Society at the end of their senior year, along with Stephen Wallace Aubin, Hooper Law- rence Brooks, Maynard Campbell Maxwell, and David Ralph Pokross, Jr. from the class of 1963. The Society held its annual conference on May 3 at Exeter Academy. Cole, Egan, Nigro, and Shapiro, along with exchange student Axel Boehlke repre- sented Belmont Hill. This conference centered on Asian and African nationalism, the paths it will take, and this country's posture towards it. After first treating the topic in discussion groups, Society members reassembled after lunch to hear an ad- dress by David Edward Owen, Gurney Professor of History at Harvard University. Humanities As in past years, an optional course in Humanities was again offered to members of the Sixth Form, during the winter term. Meeting once a week under the direction of Mr. David A. Aloian, a group of twelve boys discussed reading taken from an an- thology entitled Ideas In Contest. This work con- tains short selections from numerous authors and philosophers grouped in different categories ac- cording to their moral or intellectual significance. The selections themselves are in varied forms, in- cluding short stories and anecdotes for purposes of illustration as well as more abstract critiques and expositions. The first general question which concerned the class was the nature of manls relationship to society. Readings from Charles Dickens, Ortega y Gasset, Joseph Wood Krutch, Charles Darwin, Friedrich Nietzsche, Andrew Carnegie, Upton Sinclair, Wil- liam Faulkner, Leo Tolstoy, and Time Magazine discussed the role of the newly-risen mass man, the exceptional man, and the non-conformist in the modern world. The group then focused its attention on the problems of the mind and the process of learning. The most provocative selection of this section was an excerpt from John Locke's Essay Concerning Human Understanding wherein he proposes his famous rabala rasa theory of the way the mind absorbs knowledge. Other pieces were taken from the writings of Will Durant, Stendhal, William James, and Bergen Evans. The final category of discussion was that of Ethics and Morality. Basic reading for this part of the course included Ralph Waldo Emerson and Nietzsche. The group attempted to consider the nature of good and evil from an unbiased point of view, interspersing discussion with references to modern psychoanalytic discoveries. The consensus finally reached tended to disparage traditional con- cepts of evil as an unnatural state, and supported more modern interpretations.

Almost Club The Belmont Hill Chapter of the Societas For- tunatorum, Paene is a relatively unknown organi- zation, receiving little of the recognition it deserves. After all, the club's motto, Don,t count your chickens before they hatchj' is an old maxim of Ben Franklin, and he was famous. Furthermore, the pledge of faith and devotion signed by each member reads: Sic semper detritus manae Brun- disium copiam, which is Latin, although it has absolutely no significance whatsoever. This year, the Almost Club admitted seven mem- bers from the Class of '62. These members were: Douglas E. Hall, Captain of Football and Crew, almost, Robert G. Egan, member-in-good-standing of the Dramatic Club for four years, almost pres- identg Donald B. Robinson, who almost set a record by being president of the class for seven years, Richard W. Birnie, Captain of Hockey And Base- ball, almostg Ronald M. Druker, almost the Basket- ball Captain and nearly a six letter man, John A. Litvack, almost the Editor-in-chief of Volume IX of the Panel. Litvack almost got in the picture, but arrived thirty seconds late, having been down at the Hobby House finishing a picture which almost won the Popular Art Award. After the new members had been announced, the club adjourned to elect a president and a fa- culty adviser. Almost all were present in room 16 except for one who has trouble with numbers and went to room 18. They found him there holding his own elections, which, incidentally, he won unan- imously. This election was annulled, however, due to the absence of a quorum falmost all members must be presentj and another election was im- mediately held. At the end of nineteen ballots, the election was deadlocked in a seven way tie, and the issue was abandoned as almost' ridiculous. In the elections for a faculty adviser, there were, at final count, thirteen different winners, each of these modestly declined the honor. It was decided that the Almost Club would have to make do without a faculty adviser. Since almost,' only counts in horseshoes, this year's club decided to direct its talents in that di- rection, organizing the Varsity Horseshoe Pitching team. The squad finished its first season with a seemingly unimpressive slate of 0-12. This is not a true indication of the real merit of the team, which set a league record by losing twelve straight matches by one point. Throughout the season, the team displayed great spirit and superior courage, determination, and sportsmanship, representing the school well at all times. Commons Club First Row: R.

Palmer: Sixth The Year in Sports When school sessions began in the fall a general attitude of optimism toward an experienced foot- ball team and pessimism toward a young soccer team was reflected. There was reason for such a feeling. In football: a front line of formidable size and a backfield of age and experience. In soccer: veteran Coach Preston was gone with Mr. Plumer replacing him, only three lettermen were returning, and these from the unsuccessful squad of last year. Often, the opening game of the season is used as a yardstick for a team by both spectators and the players themselves. When both Varsity teams met Milton Academy away, they were admittedly facing stiff competition. It is ironic that the out- come of both of these events should provide little true indication of the season ahead. Symptoms of some of the faults of both teams showed up, how- ever, in the openers. The gridmen could not handle the pass defense in their single wing formation and the soccer team could not find the needed Row: Bowen, MacLean, Walsh, Wilson, Parrot, Silk, Perkins, Seventh Row: Dewey, J.

That first Saturday the gridmen recorded their only setback, losing 12-6, in a poorly played contest and the booters battled with Milton to lose on the single goal of the game scored with seconds remaining in the first half. Unforeseen at that time was the three win, three tie, one loss slate of Coach Fisher's 'fplatoonsn and the one win, eleven loss slate of Coach Plumer's 'fgroupf' Following the Thanksgiving Vacation the hockey rink opened, the basketball court was equipped with baskets, and the tiny wrestling room was filled with sweating grapplers. Again, the story was youthfulness., The hockey team possessed six sen- iors, five juniors, three sophomores, and one fresh- man. In spite of their ages, there was real talent. The lack of Varsity veterans meant that teamwork had to be developed-and this it was. The potential material pulled the squad through to an excellent, 11-3 record, with victories over Deerfield, Exeter, St. Paul's and Belmont High, as narrow decisions It is one of the major strengths of Belmont Hill that every boy has a chance to participate in athletics. In the present age, many of our young men do not have this chance. Too often they go only as far as the button-pushing stage -turning on the TV, feedinggas to the ride- around mower or the car. They get their sports vicariously, by watching, and only become ex- pert at criticizing real athletes and oyficials, ex- pert at sitting. .

Casselman, Bartol, Colla, Foster, Egan, Mr. Football Seven returning lettermen seemed to promise Coach John W. Fisher and the 1961 Varsity foot- ball team that their season could be extremely successful, and indeed, the squad lost only one game. Yet, three tied contests kept 1961 from being one of the Hillfs best years in football. The entire team was well-balanced and well- versed in the single-wing offense, now three years old at the school. Belmont's backfield boasted both speed and power, experience and talent. Art Brooks called the signals from the blocking back position, while Bob Walsh and Doug MacLean did most of the ball carrying as tailbacks. Bill Lynch played at wingback, and Geoff Buffalo,' Bartol filled out the backfield at the fullback slot. The offensive line was equally talented, pos- sessing dual assets of weight and strength. Carl Casselman and John Duncan alternated at center,, with Doug Amon and Dick Birnie at the end posi- tions. Captain Eric Bradlee and Big Bill Herron, guards, and Doug Hall and Jon Smith, tackles, comprised the formidable fourf'-the inner line. Defense, one of the team's Strongest points, was amply reinforced by such stalwarts as Bob Foster, Foster Furcolo, and Joel Shapiro, in conjunction with most of the giants already mentioned. Bob Egan deserves notice as a 130 lb. tiger who made good on defense. Fisher, Mr. Mattlageg Third Row: Barnard, J. Shapiro, MacLean, D. Amon, W. Herron, P. Worthen, Furcolo, Parrot. In their first clash of the season, against Milton, the Fishermen suffered their only defeat. Capital- izing on a Belmont fumble in the first period, the Miltonites marched forty-seven yards to the three before being halted. But on the next series of plays Belmont fumbled again, twelve yards out, and Milton passed for the first score three plays later. A second touchdown pass in the third period ac- counted for the home team's second score and the winning margin. Belmontfs first score of the season came in the final quarter when Bob Walsh tallied Coach Jack Fisher. on a seventeen yard fake-reverse play. The main defect in this 12-6 defeat at Milton was Belmontfs inability to mount a sustained offense and maintain a consistent defense. The following Saturday Belmont took out its frustrations against Noble and Greenough. To fire up the first line, Coach Fisher started the f'Cin- derella Line of Birnie, Dan Barnard, Egan, Dun- can, Bradlee, Dick Vietor, and Amon. Belmont took the opening kickoff and raced sixty-five yards in seven plays, climaxing the drive with Buffalo Bartolfs ride into the end zone on a wedge. Bob Walsh ran the second half kickoff back for twenty- five yards to start another Hill scoring march, four plays later he ran twenty-five yards through the middle for Belmontfs second T.D. In the final quarter, Walsh again scored, and passed to Amon for the extra points, closing the score at 22-0. Nobles' defense couldnft contain the Hill offense, while their own weak offense was unable to pene- trate the Belmont line. Following their easy win over Nobles, the foot- ball team fought an uphill battle to gain a 14-14 tie at St. Mark's, the first of three deadlocks they Middlesex's Garrettson about to score. would experience. Despite Belmontfs valiant de- fense, the Lions finally scored from the one-yard line. The Hill had held off St. Markfs from inside the five for seven plays. Taking the return kickoff, the visitors pushed down to the fifteen-yard mark- er, where Dick Birnie scored on a reverse-pass from Bill Lynch. Bob Walsh scored the extra points, and the first half ended in an 8-8 tie. The Marksmen scored again early in the third quarter, immediately before Walsh ran sixty-eight yards around left end for the tying touchdown. The en- tire last stanza was played inside the Belmont thirty-seven yard line, and the outcome was in doubt until the final seconds when St. Mark's attempted held goal fell inches short. Depressed but not discouraged, the team bounced back to beat Groton, 12-0, before a large home- coming crowd. The first two periods ended score- less stalemates, despite fine running by Bob Walsh, Bill Lynch and Doug MacLean. The line showed no difficulty either in containing the Groton offense or opening holes in the opposition defense. Mid- way in the third quarter, Bill Herron recovered a Groton fumble, and Belmont marched downfield to the Groton six-yard line, where Bartol plunged home for the first score of the game. Another Gro- ton fumble, recovered by Jon Smith on the visitoris thirty-six line, set up two fine runs by Bob Walsh and Bill Lynch, and put Belmont on the two-yard line. Then Walsh scored on an end run. All through the game Groton was unable to muster an effective drive past the home team's stalwart defense. In the poorest played and incontestably dustiest game of the season, Browne 8a Nichols fought brave- Captain Eric Bradlee. ly to hold Belmont Hill to a 0-O tie. During the first quarter neither team could mount a sustained attack with the ball changing hands five times. The entire period was played between the two thirty- yard lines. Early in the second quarter the Brownies drove to the three, but the formidable four held off the attack. Belmont couldn't get beyond their own thirty-yard line in the first half. Things looked promising for the Hill in the third frame, as the offense drove fifty yards on fine runs by Walsh and MacLean. However, the attack died on the un- crossable B 84 N thirty-yard line. The game ended, with both teams notably disorganized and obviously frustrated, with the ball changing hands seven times. Upset by the Browne Cgl Nichols game, Belmont Hill bounced back to play its hnest game, de- feating previously unbeaten Middlesex, 16-14. Middlesex quickly opened its infamous air attack, passing continually to score on their first set of downs, the tally coming on a Garretson pass from the Belmont ten-yard line. But the Hillies roared back with their own running attack, with Bob Walsh dashing thirty yards off tackle to put Belmont into the scoring column. Walsh also scored the extra points, which proved to be the winning margin. Early in the second quarter the Hill tailback scored Belmont's second touchdown and Doug MacLean went over for the extra points on a reverse. Then, late in the half, Garretson opened another aerial bombardment, going eighty yards in twelve plays for the visitors, second score. The Middlesex ace passed again' for extra points, and the half ended 16-14 in favor of Belmont Hill. ln the second half, the Hill defense sparkled, stopping Garretson's passing attack cold. The Belmont win can be cred- ited not only to the relentless offense, but also to the unflagging defensive effort. The last game of the season against Governor Dummer was an anti-climax when compared to the Middlesex triumph. The Governors started the scoring on a pitchout from the Belmont fourteen yard marker, and Belmont responded with a drive from their own fifteen-yard line and the first Hill TD. Bob Walsh scored from the Dummer fourteen on a fake reverse. The second quarter produced no scoring, and the first half ended all tied at 6-6. Governor Dummer opened the second half scoring as Mike Vetarski galloped fifty-six yards off tackle for his team's second score. Geoff Bartol used his weight to fight into the end-zone from the two-yard line, after Belmont marched downfield from its own thirty-five. Governor Dummer took the lead for the third time, scoring from fifteen yards out. Then Belmont fought back to the Governor's two, and tried a quarterback sneak. The ball was fumbled. but Dick Birnie recovered the ball in the end zone for the touchdown and the game ended a tie, 18-18. All in all the team had a fine season. Bob Walsh scored fifty-six points, Geoff Bartol eighteen, Dick Birnie twelve, and Doug Amon and Doug MacLean two each. Belmont scored eighty-eight points, against fifty-eight points for its opponents. The defense registered three shutouts. But the three deadlocks and the inconsistent play kept the season from being really outstanding. In View of its 3-1-3 record, Belmont had neither a winning nor a losing season, the team followed no logic, beating Middlesex but losing to Milton, a team which was soundly walloped by the red- men. Only against Nobles and Groton did the offen- sive and defensive factions both operate at peak efficiency, while in other contests, such as Browne 8a Nichols or Governor Dummer, only half the team operated really well. Brooksie blocks the Black Knights. A strong contingent remains for the 1962 squad, to be led by Captain-elect Doug MacLean. If the spirit, characteristic of 1961, combines with con- sistent play from all the team, Belmont Hill can look forward to a strong football squad. This year, letters were awarded to the following: Captain Bradlee, Captain-elect MacLean, D. Amon, Atkins, Barnard, Bartol, Birnie, A.

Soccer The record of one win against eleven losses for the l96l Belmont Hill Varsity soccer team gives little indication of the tremendous spirit, unity, and skill which the team continually displayed during the season. Coach Plumer, handicapped by a delinite lack of experienced Varsity material, had to rely on the previous year's J.V. soccer team to adjust to the faster, more rugged play of the Varsity, Conse- quently, with only three returning lettermen, the team found it necessary to work primarily on inter- team scrimmages. While these practices gave the team a certain degree of unity, the emphasis on fundamentals and individual skills had to be sac- rificed. In addition to their lack of experience, the Hillies were also plagued by injuries throughout most of the season. Both the first and second goalies, Ron Druker and Mark Weinbaum, were hurt and unable to finish- the season. Ron Druker sustained a head in- jury prior to the opening game but continued to play until the contest with Medford. Ron's performance in the games against Tabor and St. Marks, as well as his record of stopping seven out of eight penalty shots against him, gained Ron a reputation as the league's Wilson, Werman, Coggeshall, Johnson, P. Shaw, Dewey Perkins, Harrington. Coach Davenport Plumer. finest goalie. Mark Weinbaum, who did a fine job substituting for Druker, broke his thumb and was disabled for the remainder of the season. Injuries at other positions also hindered the team's overall effort. Mac Perkins received a badly cut leg which forced him out of action for the latter part of the fall. Captain Wink Willett played the schedule with a knee injury. Don Robinson missed a number of games because of a leg injury, while the absence of other players from single games merely compounded the team's ineffective- ness. In the first contest of the season at Milton, the Hill's offensive drive and hard play kept the ball in the Milton end for the better part of the opening two periods. But scoring was hindered by the lack of individual control. The team's preparation did seem to be paying off until Milton broke through and scored with only four seconds left in the re- mainder of the game with Milton defensively maintaining their lead. After this first loss, the soccer team showed even greater determination. Lawrence Academy saw the fired up Hill team take an early lead when Captain Wink Willett booted one home. Lawrence, aided considerably by several South Americans, scored once in the second and third periods to pull ahead. The Hill tied the contest on a shot by Aldie Har- rington with only a few minutes remaining. A. Gonsales then scored the victory, 3-2. Tabor Academy defeated the Hill team 5-2 in a game that was much closer than the score seems to indicate. The Tabor squad, having had the ex- perience of playing together for two or three years, Captain Wink Willett. High-scorer Peter Coggeshall runs a Groton gauntlet. completely dominated the play in the opening min- utes and kept the ball in the Belmont endg Tabor finally scored towards the end of the first period. Porter Coggeshall came right back and scored on a play that had been worked out during the previous week. Early in the second period Captain Wink Willett scored on a corner kick to put Belmont out in front. Goalie Ron Druker came up with some spectacular saves, and the Hill team was able to hold Tabor until late in the third period when they scored their second goal. It wasnit until late in the fourth quarter and following Druker's replacement that the team crashed through with three quick goals by one South American forward to give them victory, and Belmont its third defeat. The Groton game proved very disappointing for Belmont, as they were defeated for the fourth con- secutive time by a fast moving team. Due to all around sloppiness on the part of the Hillies, Groton led at the half-time, 4-1. They then pushed across three quick goals in the fourth quarter. Porter Coggeshall scored again, but Belmont Hill still went down, 7-2. Looking desperately for their first win of the season, Belmont worked hard in the week before the St. Mark's game. Mr. Plumer introduced some new plays, and shuffled the lines around. The first period showed the results of the Hill team's work, as well as their inherent spirit. Towards the end of the quarter, Captain Wink Willett broke away from two St. Mark's fullbacks and scored unassisted. Again Ron Druker came up with many fine saves to keep Belmont ahead. tThere was a total of 23 saves by Belmont and only eleven by St. Mark,s.D The Marksmen, controlling the ball for most of the next two periods, finally scored toward the end of the thiru period. The score remained tied until early in the last period when St. Mark's scored again on a penalty shot. They scored soon afterwards to make the score 3-1, and to clinch the Varsity's fifth straight setuack. Medford High School defeated Belmont, 4-1. The Hillies showed spirit and determination as they dominated play during the first quarter, and Porter Coggeshall booted one by the Medford goalie on a pass from Captain Wink Willett, giving Belmont the lead. Later in the first half Medfordls right wing took advantage of faulty coverage in front of the Hill net, and knotted the score. Once again, the second half proved disastrous. Belmont Hill went all out, but Medford High scored three times in the third quarter to hand Belmont another defeat. Belmont was again overcome the following Wed- nesday by a strong Browne and Nichols team, 6-1. First period action saw the home team score once while BSLN scored three times in each half. The lone Hill score came on a shot by Porter Coggeshall, as Willett and Mattlage controlled the ball well at newly assigned inside positions. Thayer Academy handed Belmont their eight straight loss, defeating the Hill, 5-1. All five Thayer goals came in a disastrous first period, while their goalie did well in keeping Belmont scoreless during the quarter. In the third period, Werman scored his first goal of the season. J .V. goalie, John Dono- van did well in accomplishing shutout goal tending for the last two periods. Captain-elect Mattlage races downfield. POOF! The soccer team won their first and only game of the season against Noble and Greenough, 2-1. Al- though Nobles dominated the first period and scored their only goal, the Hill offense picked up in the third quarter. Mattlage booted one in on a re- bound from his own penalty shot, and in the fourth quarter Captain Wink Willett scored on a pass from Mattlage. Donovan made twelve saves. Brooks handed the Hill team another setback with a 3-1 score. They scored twice in the first quarter, although in the second period Belmont kept the ball in Brooks' end and finally scored. A final Brooks score came in the game's closing minutes, and the varsity took its ninth defeat. The Soccer team was defeated by Roxbury Latin 2-1, because of two goals scored in the fourth period. Belmont fought well throughout the first half, with Aldie Harrington firing the team's lone goal on a pass from John Lovell in the second period. Belmont was again defeated in its last match with traditional rival Governor Dummer, falling by a score of 2-O. Scott, trying to protect the goal after Litvack had been pulled out of the nets, blocked the ball with his hand and a goal was awarded the Governors. Following a second Dum- mer score, Litvack held the visitors scoreless in the last half. But Belmont couldn't put the ball in the G. D. net. The record certainly would have been more successful had the team been able to maintain their first period proficiency for the duration of each contest. Nevertheless, in view of the team's loss of several important players at crucial times, and considering the consistent disappointments the team faced week after week, the hopeful attitude and desire to win which persisted is indeed a credit to every member of the squad. Letters were awarded to Captain Willett, Co- Captain elect Mattlage, Co-Captain elect Scott, Coggeshall, Dewey, Druker, Griefen, Harrington, Johnson, Litvack, Maxwell, Perkins, Perry, Robin- son, Shaw, Werman, Wilson. Following the season the ex-captains' soccer tro- phy was awarded to Wink Willett, whose incredible drive and determination kept the team together throughout the fall.

Atkins, Dorsey, Hockey The 1962 Varsity hockey squad, in compiling an 11-3 won-lost record, was called by many one of the finest hockey teams to represent Belmont Hill. The team earned this title, not only by their fine record, but also through their constant hustle, desire, and excellent sportsmanship. Following five weeks of practice, during which time coaches Walworth and Boocock were able to mold a strong team with only four returning letter- men and a number of juniors and sophomores, the squad defeated Middlesex, 5-2. After spotting Mid- dlesex one goal in the first period, Belmont came back strong in the second on tallies by Ken Martin, Kent Parrot, and Ed Chase to take the lead before the Redmen were able to score their second marker. In the final period Belmont controlled the play, with Dick Birnie and Martin adding insurance tallies. In a game dominated by explosive oiienses, St. Sebastian's was able to outscore Belmont Hill, 8-7, utilizing an overtime period. Playing at the Keller Rink, the visitors jumped to an early lead with two quick first period goals. Then Mac Perkins and Martin evened the score with a goal each be- fore the end of the period. From that point on, until just before the end of regulation time, Belmont Mattlage, Parrot, Mr. Boocock, Third Row: Mgr. Bar nard, Walsh, E. Chase, K. Martin, Mgr. Hubbard Coach Gerard Walworth held the lead by one or two goals, consistently, however, two goals apiece for Martin and Bob Walsh, and one by Birnie, were equalized by quick St. Sebastianis tallies. In the overtime period, the Saints dominated play and scored with 30 seconds remaining in the game. Despite the loss of three seniors because of Col- lege Board exams Cand Managers Barnard and Hubbard for the same reasonj, Belmont came out on the upper end of another overtime contest, downing Deerfield, 3-2. Again Belmont Hill started slowly and fell behind two goals before Birnie was able to backhand one by the Deerfield goalie. Just two minutes later, Martin evened the score on a long Hip-shot from center ice. The score stood at 2-2 throughout the third period and into an over- time, until Martin was able to hammer the puck home from a scramble in front of the Deerfield cage. Assists on the winning score went to Birnie and Aldie Harrington. Although not playing to their standards set in previous contests, Belmont edged out Groton, 5-3. The Hill mounted a strong attack, but missed the net on many close-in shots, and awarded Groton three goals through carelessness in the defensive zone. Belmont goals were scored by Harrington C2j, Chase, Parrot, and Walsh. Travelling for the first time in the season, the Varsity overcame a spirited Milton sextet, 4-1. Be- cause of line changes during the week, the play was inconsistent, with Belmont pressing hard in the Milton end, and then being pinned in their defensive zone by aggressive Milton forechecking. For the first time in the season, Belmont started fast with three goals by Parrot, Walsh, and Birnie. In the second period, Belmont, perhaps overconfi- dent in view of an easy first period, lost its drive, and the home team was able to push across a score. A slowdown in action by both teams char- acterized the final frame with the only goal being scored on a breakaway by Martin. Playing one of their best, but at the same time most disappointing games of the season, Belmont lost a heartbreaker to an Andover team which has gone through the past two seasons undefeated against prep-school competition. Spurred on by tele- Captain Jon Smith grams of encouragement from parents and alumni, as well as a large crowd at the Keller Rink, Belmont held the advantage in play until the third period, slimly outshooting the strong Andover team 25-24. In the first period, Harrington pushed across a re- bound from a scramble in front of the Andover cage after shots by Chase and Parrot. Captain Jon Smith scored his first goal of the season when set up all alone by Ken Martin. Andover then countered in the second period with two goals by their strong first line. Before the end of the period, Smith soloed for his second goal of the game to give Belmont a one goal advantage going into the final stanza. President Birnie loses the puck. As the game progressed the depth of the Andover team was the decisive factor, as a rested first line was able to outplay Belmont, score two goals and win the game, despite the efforts of a strong defense in front of goalie Henry Atkins, Bob Walsh and Mac Perkins, who played most of the game sparked the defense. Despite the outcome, the Varsity proved themselves to be a formidable team both offensively and defensively, scoring three times against a team which had registered three shutouts at the Lawrenceville tournament, and by holding highly publicized Jackie Morrison to a single assist. Showing a slight let down after the Andover loss, the Varsity nevertheless beat Exeter handily, 6-3. Belmont seemed able to score easily when they played hard, but suffered temporary lapses in play which allowed the Exeter goals. Goals for Belmont were scored by Smith 525, Martin, Harrington, Walsh, and Parrot. The Belmont defense turned in another line game, holding Exeteris classy Cap- tain and iirst-line center, John Stevens, to a single tally. Led by Kent Parrot with four goals, and Captain Jon Smith with three, Belmont overwhelmed a weak Brooks Varsity, ll-1. Belmont, as in the beginning of the season, started slowly, and was unable to score in the first period. But in the next period, the Hill mounted a devastating attack and came up with five goals. The game ended with much the same kind of play, Belmont dominating the action and adding six more goals. Other Hill scores were registered by Harrington 125, Martin, and Tom Sa- liba, his first of the season. Parrot chose to continue his hot scoring stretch, collecting four goals and leading Belmont over St. Paul's, 5-0. Just as in the earlier games, Belmont was held to a single tally in the iirst period by a close checking St. Pau1's team. In the second and third periods, the skating ability of Belmont was the deciding factor, as Parrot and Walsh broke through the St. Paulfs defense for three and one goals respectively. The next two games, against St. Mark's and Noble and Greenough, marked the low point of the season. In the St. Mark's contest, Goalie Jim Mays held the strong Belmont attack scoreless, the only shutout registered by an opposing goalie all season, while his teammates collected two goals. Belmont controlled the play for most of the game, but was thwarted time and time again by the sparkling play of Mays, who had 28 saves as compared to 20 by Henry Atkins in the Belmont goal. St. Mark's was able to take good advantage of their scoring op- portunities and collected on a rebound oil the back- boards, and again while Belmont was a man short. In the Nobles game, Belmont seemed to lack the hustle which it had displayed in earlier games, and was forced into an overtime period before they could beat the stubborn team which had lost to Brooks the week before. Nobles tied the score at two all late in the third period, but Jon Smith ended the game with a goal at 2:14 of the overtime period. High-scorer Parrot weaves through an entire team. Tie-up in front of the Groton net. In the last three games of the season, Belmont was able to outscore Browne and Nichols, 6-3, Bel- mont High, 3-1, and Governor Dummer, 7-1. The B8LN game, played at Harvard's Watson Rink, was for the most part controlled by the Hill, al- though the B8cN lirst line was able to collect three goals. Against Belmont High, the squad played up to its midseason form again, after three somewhat sloppy games. Parrot with two goals and Harring- ton with one accounted for the Hill tallies in this closely-fought contest, with neither side dominating play for any length of time. Belmont Hill finished out a good season with a flourish, swamping Gov- ernor Dummer 7-1 in a twice-postponed contest. Ken Martin and Dick Birnie led the attack with two goals each, and Smith and Parrot notched the other tallies. Captain-elect Perkins heads up-ice. Leading scorers for the season were Kent Parrot with 24 points, Ken Martin with 23, Aldie Har- rington with 20, and Jon Smith and Dick Birnie with 17 and 14 respectively. The outlook for next year appears extremely good, with Captain-elect Mac Perkins leading a group of nine returning letter- men, along with a number of hopefuls from a strong J.V. team and an undefeated Junior team.

Amon, MacLean, Bergen, Second Row: Mgr. Lockshm J. Shapiro, Coggeshall, Whitelaw, Mr. Croke. Basketball Varsity basketball Coach William Croke was quoted as saying at the start of the 1961-62 season that the team would suffer from inexperience. A possible reason for this statement: the loss of the five starters and the return of only two lettermen, Captain Doug Amon and Doug MacLean, both '63, to the depleted squad. In addition to Captain Amon and MacLean, sen- ior Ron Druker, junior Buck Hallowell, and sopho- more Porter Coggeshall iilled out the starting line- up. Three more seniors, Bill Lynch, John Perry, and Mark Weinbaum supplemented junior George Whitelaw, and two sophomores, Roger Bergen and Joel Shapiro as reserves. The first contest of the season, a home game with the Rivers School, was to be a harbinger of future activity by the Varsity. Belmont Hill fell to the Rivers five, more properly the Rivers four plus Tom White, by a slim five point margin, 62-57. White came up with 27 points, collecting a majority, 22, in the final half. Belmont's offensive was paced by MacLean in the first sixteen minutes while Captain Amon took over with a scoring punch of 12 in the last half. However, the Hill could not surmount the visitor's attack, being outscored by Coach William Croke four in the closing two frames. After dropping the opener by such a close de- cision the determined hoopsters met Noble and Greenough on Belmont's court. Here Nobles broke the long reign of supremacy held by the Varsity basketball team Cfor five years the Varsity had been undefeated in league playl, downing Coach Croke's quintet, 59-57. Trailing at the midway buzzer by five, Belmont Hill cut into the lead by three and was held at that by Nobles' potent threesome of Boon, Brown, and Nicolls. Captain Amon C17 pointsl, Hallowell C13J, Shapiro C9l, and Coggeshall C95 were the sharpshooters for the home team. Three points separated the Varsity Basketball team from breaking its two game losing skein in a low-scoring, sloppily played contest against St. Mark,s which ended at 36-33. The seesaw first half put the score at 13-13, as Captain Amon hit for four free throws and one field goal. A third period surge by the St. Markers almost put the game com- pletely out of reach for Belmont. Middlesex School turned a victory into a rout, outplaying a f'cold Varsity squad, and outscoring it by a 63-25 margin at Concord. The Red 84 White's fast break offense and full court press splintered Belmont Hill's attempts at recovery from an 11-1 deficit. While the defense held the Hill in check, the offense, powered by Garretson C19 pointsl and Shapiro is outjumped by Milton. Captain Doug Amon Warner C163 rolled on. Shapiro, Captain Amon, Druker, Hallowell, Whitelaw, Perry, and Weinbaum were scorers for Belmont. On January 20, Governor Dummer hosted the Belmont Hill Varsity and turned it back to the tune of 45-34 for the Hill's fifth consecutive loss, and fourth in league competition. Fighting all the way Cthis was its best played game up to datej, Belmont knotted the score at halftime, 15-15. Be- fore the visitors could recover their second quarter pace, the Governors had opened up with a six point lead. Ellis and Maier excelled for the home squad in the final two stanzas, using the fast break to full advantage. Belmont's Hallowell was deadly in the corner, striking for four baskets in the last half, and compiling a final output of 15 points. As in many of the previous ball games the Varsity Hilltoppers, after a practically even first half, fell behind in the final two frames to drop their sixth game, to what was to be an undefeated Groton quintet, 56-46. It was a close game throughout the four periods, Groton leading in the first, Belmont by one C24-235 in the second, Groton by three in the third and then by ten in the final frame. Captain Amon was in top form, as he was high point man for the game with 24. Druker CSD, Hallowell C7J, Weinbaum C3J, Coggeshall C2J, and Whitelaw C25 picked up the remainder of the baskets for Belmont Hill. At last, the Varsity gained a much needed and deserved victory over St. Sebastian's School at New- ton, 50-36. St. Sibbies was unable to restrain Bel- mont in the first two quarters as the Hillies com- piled 15 in the first and 20 in the second to lead at the half, 35-20. This high scoring spree by the Varsity tapered down in the final stanzas when substitutes were put into play. The home team picked up one point on the Hillies. Captain Amon QISJ, Hallowell C14J, and Coggeshall C93 were high men on offense, while Bergen aided the squad with his ballhawking. A noisy North Andover crowd cheered their basketball team to a 20 point triumph over Belmont Hill, as the Hillies recorded their seventh loss in eight starts. A height advantage was made into a rebounding advantage by the Green men. At the first quarter buzzer the Hill was behind by 5, but at the end of the half they had slipped back by 16, 33-17, as Brooks spurted, scoring a quick 22 points. Captain Amon and Hallowell pumped in a col- lective 32 points for Belmont, while Captain Farr and Swithenbank combined for 35 for the home team. For Belmont Hill's second victory and first league win, the Hilltoppers halted Browne and Nichols in the final minutes with a 49-44 score at Cam- bridge. Fighting an uphill battle, the Hillies, be- hind at half time, went in front by two at the third quarter mark. Clutch playing on the part of Captain Amon, MacLean, and Hallowell during the closing minutes gave Belmont victory number two. It was successful shooting from the foul line that make the difference for the visitors. Six players made the scoring column for Belmont: Captain Amon C17D, Hallowell Cl0D MacLean 195, Whitelaw C7J, Druker QSJ, and Weinbaum CU. Three more straight losses, to St. Paul's C50-393, Noble 84 Greenough C45-413, and St. George's C63- 32J respectively, brought the total to ten defeats. A low shooting percentage at Concord, N. H., prevented the Varsity from overtaking St. Paul's, although trailing by only five at the half. The Varsity's contest against Nobles was a real squeak- er, the Hnal decision up in the air until the closing buzzer. Rough playing was featured by both sides. The score was deadlocked at 9-9 in the first frame, but as the lead switched back and forth during the next two periods, Nobles took the advantage at the end of three, 31 to 30. St. George's was another story. Although Belmont had considerably more shots, its low percentage of shots completed was the determining factor as the visiting St. Georgeis five trounced the Varsity. Despite the remarkable 38 point performance by St. Markis sophomore Shimkus, the Varsity hoopsters edged St. Mark's, 69-63 for the third, and what was to be the final, win of the season. Belmontis 35-27 advantage at midpoint in the game was too much for St. Mark's to overcome. MacLean, with 21 points, was outstanding for the Varsity. Captain Amon 1123, Hallowell 1105, and Coggeshall C91 added the extra punch for Belmont. In their Hnest performance of the year, the Varsity quintet bowed to a league leading Brooks squad, 62-60, in a heartbreaker. Belmont? in front MacLaine is mobbed by Nobles. Hey! that's mine! by three at the end of two quarters, and leading by eight at one point during the third period, lost its edge to Brooks in the final eight minutes, and trailed by two with tive seconds remaining. Belmont was unable to produce. The Varsity was outscored in each of the second, third, and fourth frames in its last contest of the season with Milton Academy, and was downed, 48-37. After the 7-7 deadlock of the first period was opened up by Milton, the Hilltoppers fell completely out of contention. Belmont's poor shoot- ing percentage, the weakness which plagued the team throughout the season, was evidenced in this contest as the Varsity converted only 12 of 71 shots. A season record of 3-12 and a league record of 2-8 were posted by the basketball team. Brooks concluded its schedule on top of the league with an 8-2 slate. Lettermen for the season were: Captain and Captain-elect Doug Amon '63, Roger Bergen '64, Porter Coggeshall '64, Ron Druker '62, Buck Hal- lowell '63, Doug MacLean '62, Joel Shapiro '64, George Whitelaw '63, and manager Jeff Lockshin '62, Captain Doug Amon was awarded the Ex- Captains' Basketball Award for 1962 and was also selected for the Private School All League Team. 101 Season's Record Belmont Hill Belmont Hill Belmont Hill Belmont Hill Belmont Hill Belmont Hill Belmont Hill Belmont Hill Belmont Hill Belmont Hill Belmont Hill Belmont Hill Belmont Hill Belmont Hill Belmont Hill Belmont Hill 57 57 33 25 34 46 'SO 38 49 39 41 32 101 69 60 37 Rivers Noble XL Greenough St. Mark's Middlesex Governor Dummer Groton St. Sebastian's Brooks Browne 84 Nichols St. Paul's Noble 8: Greenough St. George's Alumni St. Mark's Brook's Milton First Row: P.

Wrestling The graduation of four of last year's wrestlers, and the departure of three others, accounted for the loss of all but two of last year's varsity lineup. As a result the seasonls record was rather dim: two wins, and eight losses. The start of the season was highlighted by the starvation diet of Captain Art Brooks, who was able to pare off more than thirty-two pounds before crossing the mat, and the rugged physique of Pete Worthen, whose muscles were early inducted to the service of the team and the consternation of the opposition. These two hardy wrestlers started train- ing early and were to lead the team through a dis- appointing season by dint of their constant victories, they became punctual denizens of the varsity sweat- room and, by the end of the season, their incessant efforts had resulted in their scoring more than half of the points won by the team during the season. In its first match, with strong Needham High, the team's record was encouraging, when compared with the previous year's results: Belmont grapplers Art Brooks 0385, Al Solar 11473, and Pete Worthen CUNLJ pinned their opponents while three others, Jon Hubbard C1 101, George McCormack 11213, and Foster Furcolo C1671 resisted pins from the Need- Coach Gil Jordan hammen. The coordination of the team helped keep Needhamis score down to 34, with B.H.S. itself tak- ing 15 points. The Nobles match again seemed to foreshadow a good season to come: Art Brooks 0385, Al Solar 0475, Foster Furcolo 0675, and Pete Worthen CUNL5 won decisions over their men and John Lit- vack 0275 tied his opponent. The four decisions, unfortunately, failed to make up for the pinning of four Hillmen, giving N8cG 28 points, Belmont 14. With the match against Governor Dummer the tide turned against the Hill, and the succeeding matches, with the exception of one, ended in near routs for the Varsity matmen. The meet with the Governors was a disappointment, not because the Hill lost, but because of the number of Belmont wrestlers pinned: nine grapplers fell to Dummer- men, while only one, Foster Furcolo 0675, man- aged to prevent his own pin, Art Brooks 0385 alone scored for Belmont Hill, putting the match at 48-5 . Browne and Nichols, which B.H.S. had defeated in ,61 by a margin of one point, trounced B.H.S. in '62 by a score of 28-16: Pete Worthen CUNL5 gave the team its only pin, while Art Brooks 0385, Paul Silk 0575, and Foster Furcolo 0675 scored with decisions, Carl Casselman 0775 tied his match. However, four Jordanmen were pinned and two others were downed in decisions. Rivers was the third straight disappointment for the Hillmen, while B.H.S. grapplers took the Rivers- Captain-elect Paul Silk reverses his man. i i E Captain Art Brooks men, they did so by only three points Cas against 23 points the previous season5 and with the ad- vantage of two Rivers forfeitsg three Hillies, Harry Jordan 0215, Foster Furcolo 0675, and Pete Worthen CUNL5 pinned their opposition to garner points for Belmont, but four Hillmen succumbed in decisions, and two were pinned. Even considering the fact that B.H.S. wrestlers Art Brooks 0385 and John Litvack 0275 might have triumphed over their opposition, the margin of victory was nevertheless discouraging. The fight with Roxbury Latin was no more heartening: only two pins were scored for Belmont by the perennial duet of Brooks and Worthen, and these constituted the sole points garnered by the team, the rest of the bouts were marked by six Roxbury pins, and three Roxbury decisions, bringing the final score to 39-10. The contest was remarkable, in one respect, however, Pete Worthen QUNL5 finished the meet with what proved to be the fastest pin of the season, he pinned his fellow grappler in a Hat 14 seconds. St. Markls turned out to be even more of a challenge, and the result was accordingly more lopsided: the only wrestler to score was Paul Silk 0575 who took his opponent in a clear decision, seven B.H.S. wrestlers were pinned and the re- maining three were beaten in decisions. U Usually weak Brooks School came up with a strong wrestling group that rolled over the Hill's wrestlers, while Belmontmen tried hard, only three grapplers managed to score: Art Brooks C1473 with a pin, and Foster Furcolo C1673 and Pete Worthen CUNL3 with decisions, five wrestlers were pinned and three lost in decisions, to bring the contest to a 34-11 finish. The meet at St. George's reversed the trend and gave the Hill its first victory since Rivers: the school's matmen took all but three classes, scoring four falls and three decisions, there was one forfeit Cthe 115 pound cIass3 and the meet ended with a heartening score of 34-11. The Milton meet proved to be the toughest con- test of the season, and yet in all the classes Bel- mont's wrestlers put out their best: Art Brooks C1473 scored with a decision, but unfortunately the remainder of the Hill's team was beaten in a medley of seven pins and three decisions. The outcome of the final contest was a dreary 44-3. At the Interscholastics, a week after the final meet, all but two of the Hillis wrestlers were elim- inated in the first round of this three ring event attended by eight schools, however, two Belmont wrestlers made good showings in this first round: Foster Furcolo C1673 lost his match by a paltry point to the future champion, and John Litvack C1273 was downed by the weight of a referee's de- cision. Belmont's two strongmen-Art Brooks C1473 and Pete Worthen CUNL3-worked their way up from semi-finalists, to finalists, to champions by ten o'clock of the meet nightg at the end of a rough season, these two wrestlers had exhibited skill, perseverance, and powerful drive and had added interest to the season's ten meets as well by their never-ending line of victories. Top scorer for the year was Captain Brooks C1473 with a powerful 9-1 record, followed closely by Pete Worthen CUNL3 with an equally impressive 7-2. Brooks pinned five out of his nine opponents and lost his only match in a close decision. Worthen, in his first year of wrestling, matched Brooks, rec- ord of five pins and carried off honors for the quickest pin of the season as well. - The Wrestling Trophy, awarded annually to the boy making the greatest contribution to the sport, this year was presented to Captain Arthur Brooks. Art not only got the team to work out every after- noon, but, more important, he never displayed disap- pointment over defeat, bolstering the morale of the team by his rousing shout before each meet. Letters were awarded to Captain Brooks, Cap- tain-elect Silk, Casselman, Furcolo, Hubbard, Jor- dan, Litvack, Quinn, Solar,.Shapiro, Worthen, and manager Moravec.

Baseball Fielding a much stronger squad than anyone anticipated, the Varsity baseball team escaped from the doldrums of a two year stand in iifth place, rising by dint of a 6-3 record in the Private School League to a third place Hnish. On the sea- son their total record was 10-4. Though the team had weaknesses in its pitching and iielding and occasionally slumped at the plate, it nevertheless managed to combine its many strengths to come up with a very successful season. With eight lettermen returning next year, in- cluding the entire infield save the catcher, and in view of their performance with a strong J. V. group coming up, the prospect for next year's season looks promising. Opening the season with a healthy display of its hitting prowess, the Varsity banged out eight hits in slipping by favored Groton, 3-2. Going the dis- tance for the victors, John Smethurst struck out eight while allowing only two men past second. It was his first victory. Ken Martin, Duke,' MacLean, and pitcher Smethurst contributed two hits and a run scored apiece, while Ron Druker and Bob Walsh each chipped in one single. Extending the season's good beginning, the Bel- Coach William Croke mont nine came from behind to swamp Boston Technical, 9-5. Ahead 4-1 in the fourth, the Technicians ran into a six run deluge highlighted by a bases-loaded single by hurler Smethurst. A two run throwing error by Tech pitcher Dean capped the Hil1's scoring, and brought Smethurst's second victory. Striking the double figures for the first time, the Hillmen romped over Garretson-powered Middle- sex, 16-5. The losers committed eight errors, gave up twelve walks and two wild pitches to hand Belmont the victory. Setting the pattern in the Hrst stanza, the Crokemen tallied eight times on a scant two hits. Though Middlesex scored two in the first, one in the fourth and two more in the sixth in a vain effort to catch up, the Hillies surpassed them, scoring two in the second and third innings, three in the fourth, and one in the fifth, Victimizing St. George's, the Varsity again used a heavy bat in gaining its fourth straight win, ll-4. Timely hits by Birnie, Butch Maxwell, and Roger Bergen allowed the victors an early 4-0 lead. Ap- pending one in the fourth, two in the fifth, and one in the seventh, the Hillies brought the score to 8-4. Then with one run already in, in the eighth, a booming double by Bob Walsh brought two more scampering home to complete the score. The win was pitcher Ken Martin's first. Continuing with his winning way, southpaw Birnie prepares to bowl 'em over. Captain Lynch Smethurst won his fourth victory, the Varsity won its fifth, both at the expense of Browne and Nichols, 14-7. Dazzled by the release of catcher Dick Birnie's power, specifically a long single and a double which narrowly missed being a home run, and Duke Mac- Lean's three belts, the hapless Black Knights failed to recover. The sixth straight victory of the season was a 5-l decision over Rivers. Pitching for his second win, Ken Martin went all the way, giving up only three hits and a walk while striking out six. The sixth frame was the biggest for the Hilltoppers, as they scored three runs, taking advantage of four walks, an error, and a double by Ron Druker. A Rivers rally was stopped in the seventh, but not before they had squeezed one over to spoil Martin's bid for a shutout. Suffering their first loss of the season, the Var- sity was edged out by a Milton Academy team in a 3-2 upset. Neither squad could manage more than two hits, but the breakdown of the Hillies' fielding, which had threatened collapse several times be- fore, as well as a few well placed walks, were all that were needed to clinch the victory. In the sec- ond, the Varsity scored both of its runs on a series of walks and errors by the opposition, but pitcher Reimers held the Varsity scoreless for the rest of the game, throwing twelve strikeouts. Swamping Governor Dummer, 17-9, before a large Parents' Day crowd, the Varsity exploded from their temporary slump for twenty hits. Con- secutive safeties by Walsh, Birnie, MacLean, Max- well, and Dorsey, produced five runs for the home team in the second stanza. Putting together five more hits, the Crokemen notched another five tallies in the fourth. In the eighth, Belmont added still another five on four hits and three walks, the big blow being catcher Birnie's bases-loaded triple. Birnie led the offensive attack with a double, a triple, two singles, and five R.B.I.'s, while Druker and Martin chipped in with three apiece for the victors. Meeting the future League champions on home ground, the Hillmen succumbed to an 11-0 white- washing at the hands of Noble and Greenough. Unable to mount any kind of hitting attack against pitcher Roy Boon, and unable to support their own hurler in the field, the Hillies were far easier prey than they should have been. Captain Lynch, Birnie, and pitcher Smethurst were the only ones to reach base safely, while twelve N8LG hits fattened the visitors' averages. Dropping its second in a row, Belmont showed some improvement in the field, but reverted to the batting slump begun at Milton, falling to St. Sebas- tianls, 6-3. The Saints blasted hurler Ken Martin for fourteen hits and took advantage of five walks and three errors to capture an early lead. Behind 6-0 in the bottom of the eighth, the Hillies threat- ened to come from behind. Second baseman Paul Dorsey's timely triple with MacLean on first notched the first Belmont score. Dorsey was driven across the plate on Roger Berg- enis single. Bergen himself later scored on a wild pitch. In a game sparked by the pitching of John Smethurst, the Varsity took their fifth League win by downing Brooks, 7-4, to secure third place. Holding onto a shutout until the fifth, when three errors cost him a lone run, Smethurst showed great form and retained a no-hitter until the sixth.. Scor- ing first, the Hillies made it 2-0 on a single by Maxwell, a triple by Walsh, and a sacrifice by Birnie. Adding three more in the second on hits by MacLean and Druker, a walk, an error, and a sacrifice, the Crokemen went ahead 5-0. The scor- ing was capped by Walsh's two-run triple in the seventh, his second of the day. Hosting St. Mark's in a game previously can- celled, the Hilltoppers suffered their fourth season loss and third League defeat, 15-11. Mounting their best hitting attack of the season, the Varsity could not overcome the shoddy pitching which allowed thirteen walks and gave up eleven hits. Starting off in high gear, they jumped on opposition pitching for three hits and five runs as they batted around in the first stanza. Falling behind 10-5 in the third, the Varsity notched two more on back-to-back sin- gles by Bergen and Martin, and then the tying three came in the fourth on Captain Lynchls single and a long double by Druker. The home team's last run came on a sacrifice by Dick Birnie with the bases jammed, but the effort was in vain as the Marksmen slugged out five more runs in the final frames. Ending the competition the way it had started, 108 Pitcher John Smethurst, voted Most Improved Player. Belmont easily downed Roxbury Latin, 4-1. Though they collected only three safeties, the Hillies hit the ball hard and frequently throughout the game. Three errors by the Roxbury catcher and a stolen base netted one run for Belmont as Lynch con- tinued his plate-crossing habit. Finally reaching Roxbury pitching, Belmont unloaded two of their three hits along with three walks for three tallies. A single with two men on brought Roxbury their only run. Smethurst walked away with the victory, striking out six and chalking up his seventh win. In a post-season game with Governor Dummer, Belmont could not quite equal its previous effort, when it had trounced them, 17-9, but did manage to squeak by on Smethurst's pitching. Catcher Birnie stole around the basepaths and was singled home by Smethurst in the second for the first run. A double by Smethurst with a man on accounted for the second run, and a single by Druker bringing in Smethurst was the decider. The Governors nearly caught up, threatening to deadlock the game in the eighth stanza, notching one run and placing two men in scoring position. But a perfect strike to the plate by center fielder Lynch killed the tying effort and the game ended, 3-2. The Coaches' Award was given to John Smeth- urst for most improvement and contribution, and the Langdon Prouty, Jr., baserunning trophy was awarded to Captain-elect Robert Walsh. Letters were awarded to: Captain, Lynch, Cap- tain-elect Walsh, Amon, Bergen, Birnie, Dorsey, Druker, MacLean, Martin, Maxwell, Smethurst, and managers Egan, Hightower, and Lockshin. In ad- dition a fine coaching and substitution record was turned in by John Perry and Jack Cullen.

Crew Optimism pervaded the area around the Belmont Hill boathouse as the 1962 crew broke tradition, as well as the ice, and began practicing during the first week of Spring vacation. Coach Roger F. Dun- can saw the engine roomf' and cox of 1961's record-setting first boat return to the scene, and two more of last year's lettermen, Call five were seniorsj, providing just the right number to com- plete a powerful and experienced first boat. On paper the shell appeared unbeatable, and the first day of crew saw Jon Petrie, Pete Worthen, Doug Hall, Captain Dan Barnard and Aldie Harrington take their places on the murky waters of the Charles. The spirit of the situation was certainly high, but the first week turned out to be nearly useless, with no single crew rowing together more than once. Bad backs and the common cold eclipsed the oarsmenis efforts to join together, and it wasn't until the second Monday that things really started to work. With the first boat finally together, the coach could more-or-less concentrate his talents upon the conception of a second boat. Gradually that shell took shape, and by the end of a week at school Eric Bradlee, John Dewey, Paul Silk, Doug Bonner Coach Roger F. Duncan and Jim Young made up the second crew. They were neat oarsmen, and Bonner was a determined stroke, but the inherent flaws of undersize and un- derage boded ill for the boat's future. The crew worked nearly a month in preparation for its first regatta, a tri-meet on the Charles with Noble and Greenough and Browne 84 Nichols, each crew after the silver Ducey Cup. Out of Belmont's efforts during that period, there emerged not only a third and fourth boat, but a significant fact: the second boat, albeit demonstrating better oarsman- ship than in the first shell, could not provide keen competition for the Hill's finest on even short drags. This was unfortunate, for although the first boat did work hard to achieve peak efficiency, they were never to experience the tense competition of a challenging second boat, which not only would have forced them to row above their capacities', but also would have been, a unique pressure, pro- viding valuable experience for the shell before up- coming races. The crew's opener came on a day when the lower course was unquestionably ruined with wind, but each crew faced the same difficulty and the race went on as planned. The Ducey Cup is awarded on a point basis, each victory or second place in each of the four races contributing a certain point value, increasing with the importance of each shell. The opening contest saw the Hill fourth boat, rowing a low but remarkably neat stroke, finish ahead of B8LN and Noble and Greenough by a respectable margin. The third boat, shaken up by the injury to their :,fj:4 man, John Duncan, only days previously, didn't fare as well and finished second behind Browne and Nichols. The Hill second crew also placed behind the black shirts from Cam- bridge, as their lower stroke was overpowered by the victors shorter, higher count. In the primary event, both the Belmont Hill and B8cN crews started out ahead of Nobles, and raced neck and neck down the course. Less than 30 strokes from the finish, the Hill crew made a ca- tastrophic attempt to raise the stroke on the windy, river and instead became depressingly disorganized. B 84 N, which had rowed a higher stroke throughout the contest, sprinted safely home to a stunning IM Captain Dan Barnard smiles. length victory. On the basis of points, Browne and Nichols beat the Hill, 30-13, to capture the Ducey cu . Ilgollowing this first defeat, the crew returned to practice, eager to work and anxious to improve. Cox Aldie Harrington, in the first boat, took the opportunity to remove any doubts the shell had, urging them that to have a winning season they would have to drive themselves harder. Under his guidance, the boat began to work at cutting down their travel time, and at the end of practice that week they could cover the W mile course in 2 min., 45 seconds. Among the lower boats, the fourth Captain-elect Doug Bonner strokes second boat. crew, under stroke Henry Atkins, surprised on- lookers by beating the third boat in a time trial, the displaced third boat could never regain its position, though at times, only a few feet separated the crews. Pren Clafiin replaced Jim Young as cox of the second, when the latter proved too big for the job. The biggest dual meet of the season for the Hill oarsmen is their annual contest with Exeter, a school which has never fielded a poor crew, and rarely appears with less than a championship group. This season, Belmont looked back at four consec- utive sweeps by the red men, dating to 1958. The meet appeared headed for the same result, as Exeter took the opening three contests by open water. Fi- nally, the two first boats headed down the upper course, with Belmont surprising the New Hampshire men by taking a deck length lead off the start. It didn'tflast, however, the visitors pulling even by the halfway mark. Then a 10 stroke middlesprint sent the Hill crew close to half a length ahead of their opponents, and they fought Exeter's rally for the last M1 mile, beating them by M a deck length. It was the first Belmont victory over Exeter in their last twenty starts, and the coach, not to mention the crew, was ecstatic. Meeting Groton the following week in the sea- son's first away contest, Belmont Hill was no longer an underdog or darkhorse. Instead, the Grotties first boat wanted to definitely avenge their loss to Exeter, suffered two weeks previously, by beating the Hillies. As the 4th, 3rd and 2nd Belmont boats fell victim the only encouraging facet was Henry Atkins' third boat which rowed considerably above its norm and lost to Groton by less than a deck length. Then the first boat rowed its worst race, me- chanically speaking, of the season. Following a dis- graceful start, the pressure of the situation forced the scared crew to retain its exhausting sprint count -about 37 strokes per minute. But they were powerful enough to bull their way into a half-length lead entering the final turn, where Groton began a last effort. The crews sprinted nearly 30 strokes, during which time, Groton cut the Belmont lead to close to a foot, but the visitors still won, by a foot. The same 3-1 ratio that had emerged with Exeter prevailed at Groton, and the first boat had learned that it was in excellent condition, but couldn't afford to panic under the stimulation of a race. At Southboro, the season's fourth and Hnal dual meeting took place with St. Mark's. Traditionally, the Hill has been successful against St. Mark's, al- though doubt might overcome optimism when a school is faced with an opponent whom it has failed to beat during the year. The fourth boat won its first race of the spring, however, handily downing the Marksmen by open Water. Following an obvious letdown from their previous effort against Groton, the third boat splashed its way to an inglorious sec- ond place position, trailing St. Mark's 75 lb. coxs- wain by two lengths. Then the Belmont second boat, which had worked hard throughout the season, im- proved noticeably, yet falling consistently to strong- er crews, easily trounced their opponents with a respectably lk length win. It was their first taste of cherry pie in 1962. The first boat took close to a length lead on its starting 15 strokes and although rowing a lower stroke they worked smoothly enough to extend the margin another length by the end of the three-quarter mile race. Belmont was again de- prived of a sweep, but they returned home jubilant. The season's final effort was at Lake Quinsiga- mond where the crew met schools from all over New England in the annual regatta. Hope for vic- tory rested on the first boat, riding the crest of three successes as they prepared for the meet. The third and second boats failed to qualify in the morning races, and finished honorably with vic- tory, in the consolation contests. The first boat, in its morning heat, rowed its smoothest race of the season, coming down the long course at a low and powerful 30 strokes per minute. They easily quali- fied, finishing second out of seven shells. First boat docks shell after upsetting Exeter. In their afternoon race, they were tense and ex- pectant at the start. On the command, they started fast with only Exeter staying with them. The boat came down the course with peak efficiency, but couldn't prevent the Exeter shell from moving ahead nearly a length. Belmont Hill attempted a middle sprint of 15 strokes in an all-out effort, but Exeter countered with their own spint and stayed ahead. The Hill crew, despite supreme drive, couldn't maintain Exeter's pace, and died in the final quarter mile. Browne 8a Nichols and Groton took advantage of the depressed oarsmen, as they passed Belmont and finished second and third, respectively. A fourth place finish in their final heat was by no means a disgrace for the Belmont Hill first boat, Exeter, the winner, had established a new course record of 3 minutes, 56.4 seconds, to break the mark set by Belmont in 1961 by more than 5 sec- onds. It was a rewarding season, filled with both suc- cess and disappointment, and marked with the same spirit which sparks Hill crews to unexpected heights year after year. Following the returning of four shells to Harvard, letters were awarded to Captain Barnard, Captain-elect Bonner, Bradlee, Claiiin, J. Dewey, Hall, Harrington, Petrie, Silk, Worthen, and the crew's hard-working manager, Don Robinson. 113 i Seasonls Record FIRST BOAT 1. Placed second in Ducey Cup Races. 2. Beat Exeter. 3.

Tennis After initial losses to Middlesex, Milton, MIT Freshmen, and St. Markls-all by close decisions- in the first six contests of the Tennis season, it was the perseverance and determined confidence of each member of the Varsity squad which enabled the team to finish out the schedule with an eight game win streak, shading such competitors as Noble 8a Greenough and Tufts' Freshmen, and a final slate of ten wins and four losses tlast year's record, 7-55. Again, as in past seasons, it was unfortunate that the Varsity was unable to practice earlier, not being in top form until mid-season, and was unable to play the formidable threei' of Middlesex, Milton, and St. Mark's later in the spring. The formidable three have the double advantage of being boarding schools and having indoor courts, thus, attendance and practice area are of no consequence. Had Bel- mont Hill been able to play them later, the slim losses suffered might have been turned into victories. Once Belmont got rolling, however, it was hard to halt, as the last eight consecutive victims realized. The netmen compiled a total of 141 points, singles and doubles competition combined, in the fourteen game slate, compared to the opponent's 67. This Spring Term a new system of scoring was Coach Michael F. Humphreys employed by the majority of the schools with which Belmont Hill participated. Reasons for changing to the two-set system, with one point for the winner of each set-according to Coaches Humphreys and Howland-were that this would shorten the length of the matches and would place the burden upon each player to settle down in the contest. In what actually might be called a pre-season, or at least a newly scheduled, match, Belmont Hill opposed Tabor on the wind-swept Hill courts. Out of the top four positions, filled by Lanse Palmer, Kent Parrot, Captain Wink Willett, and Ted Counihan in order, the netmen took seven of eight points, as Palmer split his match 6-0, 4-6. Pete Bowen, at number five, split his sets also, 8-6, 5-7, while Rod Furnald, trailing directly behind him in rank, dropped a pair, 5-7, 2-6. A complete doubles vic- tory was marred by the final 3-6 set loss registered by the number three combination of Axel Boehlke and Furnald. Matches number two and three were lost to Middlesex, first, and then Milton a week later by identical scores of ll-7. Parrot came up with the only win over Middlesex while four of his team- mates tied and one lost in the singles competition. Belmont Hill fared poorly in the doubles, bowing in the one and three positions, but Parrot and Counihan salvaged one point for their 7-5, 6-8 tie. Again, against Milton Parrot posted the lone singles triumph with Bowen in the sixth slot knotting his two sets at 6-4, 1-6, Palmer, Captain Willett, Counihan, and Smith were topped. Attempting to recoup some of the lost ground, Belmont rebounded with two ties C:f:l:l Parrot and Counihan-8-6, 0-6, Captain Wink Willett. 41:3 Smith and Bowen-3-6, 6-43 and one victory 05:2 Willett and Palmer-6-4, 8-63 in the three doubles bouts. Following two defeats by such small margins, the Varsity netmen blanked Roxbury Latin 4-0 on a three singles-one doubles contest. The best of three sets system was used at Roxbury. In his first try at the number one spot, Parrot overpowered his op- Captain-elect Ken Parrot returns backhand. ponent with two love sets, after letting down on the first one, 4-6. Both Palmer and Captain Willett sur- passed their singles opposition easily, as did Couni- han and Willett in the one doubles match. M.I.T.'s Freshmen tennis squad handed Belmont Hill its third setback in five games, pulling the match out at 5-4. The Frosh team, preferring to play the best of three sets, picked up wins over Palmer and Smith, who both Went the three set distance, and Bowen, who fell in two sets, 3-6, 3-6. In what the tennis coaches termed the outstanding singles events of the season, Parrot downed M.I.T.'s Long, 6-8, 7-5. 6-3, and Captain Willett beat Comey, 6-1, 0-6, 6-4. Although the experienced twosome of Parrot and Counihan halted their opponents 6-2 and then 13-11, two three set setbacks suffered by Willett and Palmer, and Bowen and Smith pre- vented the Hillies from turning the tables on M.I.T. Due to inclement weather on May 2 the Varsity played on indoor courts at St. Markis. Capturing seven points out of a possible ten in singles matches, the hosts gathered two more in doubles play for in- surance and outdistanced Belmont Hill, 9-5. After Parrot had split his match, Palmer met an old rival, Magowan, and finally emerged victorious in both sets, 11-9, 7-5. Parrot and Counihan were tabbed for their first doubles loss of the season, while the Willett and Palmer combination was triumphant. The 15-3 victory over Newton High, 11-7 upset over Noble Sc Greenough and 5-4 win over Tufts Frosh were the start of the Varsity's final eight game win skein. All singles matches with Newton High were recorded in Belmontls favor. Smith and Bowen in the third doubles spot were the only combination to lose to the Newtonians. Teamwork was in evi- dence 'as Belmont Hill tripped up a highly touted Nobles squad. Counihan, Smith, and Bowen each contributed ZW points, Palmer and Parrot lk apiece, Captain Willett added M point. Belmont's singles edge was upheld with ties in the three dou- bles sorties. Deadlocked with Tufts at the end of the singles matches and at the end of two doubles games, Parrot and Counihan helped make it a win- ning effort with their doubles play. St. Sebastian's, Belmont High, and Browne 84 Nichols were no competition for the Varsity, falling successively by the scores of 16-2, 18-0, and 8-2. The solo loss of the afternoon against St. Sibbies was marked by Smith in the fifth position, 4-6, 4-6. St. Sebastian's compiled only four games to Belmont Hill's sixty in the singles matches excluding Smith's setback. Hill Jayvee recruits were called into the Belmont High encounter. J. Palmer and Moulton, and Furnald and Weinbaum handily toppled the High School opposition as did the rest of the Varsity squad. In trouncing B 84 N, the Hillies were victors in three matches and tied the remaining two. Governor Dummer absorbed the eighth straight victory of Belmont Hill's tennis squad in the season's finale. Belmont collected three splits-by Parrot, Willett, and Smith-and three wins-by Palmer, Counihan, and Bowen. The Governors only triumph Palmer slaps it. Ax Bohlke powers his serve.

Running from the single wing, the Hillies empha- sized speed and offense, but no team was able to rack up more than ten points against its stalwart de- fense. Backs Ken Martin, Roger Bergen, Don Andre- son, and John Smethurst spearheaded the attack while Paul Silk, Buck Hallowell, Eben Moulton, and John Weeks anchored the line. Opening the season at home, the Hillies were shaded by Milton 8-6. The Jordanmen tallied early in the game on a long reverse by Andreson, but the spectacular play was nullified by a backfield-in- motion penalty. Milton bounced back to score on a 25-yard pass play and to add the conversion in the second period. The second half saw Bergen throw a scoring pass to Smethurst, but the Hillies were unable to add the extra points. The game ended with the J ayvees halting another Milton drive. One week later, Noble and Greenough handed the J .V.'s their second and last loss of the year, 10-8. Dominating play in the first half, the local eleven scored in the second quarter on a pass from Bergen to Hallowell to lead 8-O at halftime. Nobles bounced back in the succeeding periods to hold Bel- mont scoreless and to add the tying touchdown. On the last play of the game, the Hillies attempted to Senior Football In their first season as Senior football coaches, Messrs. Humphreys and Boocock handled a most successful team. Allowing only twenty points while scoring one hundred and thirty-six, the Belmont Hill Senior football team compiled a perfect record of six wins and no losses for their third undefeated season in five years. The Seniors traveled to Rivers for their first game during which their strong defensive play held Rivers pass from their 5 yard line, but the Nobles' defense broke through to score a safety for the victory. Belmont tasted victory for the first time against arch-rivals St. Mark's, 24-0. The J .Vis broke the scoring ice on a pass from Martin to Hallowell, and, moments later, George Wyner intercepted a pass and rambled seventy-five yards to score again. In the second half, Martin raced around end for an insurance touchdown, as the Hillie defense held the Marksmen to short gains. In one of the most exciting games of the season, the Jayvees came from behind to defeat a strong Groton eleven, 22-12. After Belmont had scored two points on a safety in the early minutes, Groton re- taliated with a long touchdown run through the cen- ter of the line to vault into the lead. Belmont charged back into an 8-6 halftime lead on a pass from Martin to Hallowell. Back-to-back touchdowns highlighted the opening of the second half, as Andreson passed to Rod Fernald, only to have the Grotties score over center to keep the margin at two points. The Hillie defense stiffened and held the opponents scoreless the rest of the way, while Martin broke the game open with a scoring jaunt over tackle. Governor Dummer was the next to fall before the powerful Belmont offense. Roger Bergen scored both Hilltopper touchdowns on bucks through the center of the line. Ken Martin kept the defense honest with his long passes, which set up the second tally and accounted for the second conversion. Belmont kept the ball in the Governors, territory for most of the game, and it was only in the last ten seconds that the visitors could mount a scoring drive to make the final score 16-8. The final game of the year found the Jayvees put- ting on the most awesome offensive show of the season. While the defense allowed Middlesex only one first down on the entire first half, the J ordanmen rang up twenty points. Bergen, Wyner, and Andre- son launched spectacular scoring runs, and Bergen cracked through the line for the conversions. With ten seconds left in the first half, Middlesex passed for its lone tally. Belmont added two touchdowns in the second half on runs by Martin, and Kent Parrot caught a Martin pass for the final tally of the game. Numerals were awarded to: Andreson, Bergen, Chase, Furnald, Hallowell, Martin, Moulton, Olek- siw, Shaw, Smethurst, Spilios, Stafiier, Taylor, Weeks, Wicks, Wood, Worthen, and Wyner. scoreless. The grinding running attack of Tom Amon and Robin Murray gave Belmont a 14-0 victory. The Seniors, running out of their single wing formation, may have seemed a bit inhospitable to Milton in their first home game as they romped to a 22-6 victory. During the first period, Belmontfs at- tack was halted by penalties, but Murray, Fletcher, and Amon each scored in the third and fourth quarters. The team next met a strong St. Markfs team at Southboro and defeated them 20-0. In the first quarter, Fletcher and Murray connected for a thirty 118 yard touchdown pass. In the second quarter, Murray scored on a'St. Markas fumble and Amon's two point conversion game Belmont a 14-0 halftime ad- vantage. Murray ran thirty yards for another six points and the Seniors gained their second shutout. The following week, the Seniors traveled to Browne 8: Nichols and buried the Black Knights 32-0 for victory number four and shutout number three. Murray scored on fifty-five yard and sixty yard runs in the first half. He also tossed a touch- down pass to Koslowski, with Amon running for the extra points. Murray and Amon both scored in the second half. Belmont, playing on their home grounds, com- pletely dominated the play in a 28-8 victory over Thompson Academy. Murray opened the scoring in the first quarter with a one yard dash. In the second quarter Fletcher scored on an eighteen yard run and Koslowski plunged two yards to score in the next period. Murray ran sixty yards for the Hill's third touchdown and clinched Belmont's fifth straight win. Amon added two points for the conversion and Thompson made two additional points on a safety. In their final game, the Seniors went all out to defeat the formerly unbeaten Middlesex Senior foot- ball squad and to gain an undefeated season them- unior Football This yearas Junior football team enjoyed an un- defeated, untied record-one of three such records posted in the fall season. Coached by Messrs. Ing- ham and Worrest, the squad employed the short- punt as their most effective formation. The season's opener saw Belmont defeat Fay School 6-0. The only score came late in the Hrst half when George McManama passed to Jack Lint- ner for the T.D. In this game, the Juniors, primarily a running team, had to resort to their aerial attack to hit paydirt. The Juniors, in their second game, rolled over St. Mark's by a score of 32-0. Peter Mueller, George McManama, and Jack Reed each tallied once while Dave Ewart led the attack with two T.Ds. Jack Lintner added a set of extra points. In the next game, Belmont Hill defeated Browne 62 Nichols Creversing the score of last year's contestj 8-0. The break came when McManama clicked with Mueller for a thirty-five yard first down. On the following play, McManama sprinted thirty yards along the sidelines for the only score of the game. The Juniors handed Rivers a 41-14 defeat in their fourth win of the season. Dave Ewart rose to the occasion as he scored twice and kicked a twenty-five yard field goal. Harry Moore, Peter Mueller, and Jack Lintner also scored in this one-sided contest. The following game saw the Belmont Juniors crush Roxbury Latin by a score of 38-6. George McManama scored twice and combined his efforts with Jack Lintner for another touchdown. Reed, selves. In the first half, Amon scored the Hill's first touchdown on a two yard rush and Fletcher ran for the extra points. These were the only points scored in the opening two quarters. In the third period Middlesex scored on a Belmont fumble. Amon then ran fifteen yards and Broadbent plunged two yards to score and defeat Middlesex 20-6. Murray's inter- ception and sixty yard dash in the last period was unfortunately nullified by a clipping penalty. Ewart and Fisher also tallied and Ewart kicked two extra points. Afterwards the B team played a short game which they won 8--O on a TD by Jack Fisher. In their sixth and final game of the season, the Juniors rolled over an early-scoring Noble and Greenough team 35-6. Belmont could not quite get moving until after Nobles had pulled ahead 6-0. Once again, the fine play of Dave Ewart highlighted the game as he scored twice and kicked an extra point. Other scores were made by Jack Reed, George McManama, and Bill Karelis. Dick Stiles and John Grady added two more points trapping a Nobles back in his endzone for a safety. Commenting on the team's record, Coach Olin H. Ingham said, The main factor in this team's record was courage. The boys knew they would get their bumps and they took them and gave them outf' 119 unior Varsity Soccer The 1961 Junior Varsity soccer team, under the direction of coach Roger F. Duncan, broke even with a 5-5 record this year in a season highlighted by a smashing victory over Roxbury Latin and an upset victory over traditionally powerful Governor Dummer. In the opening game of the season, Belmont easily defeated Milton Academy, 4-0. During the first half, neither team was able to control the play long enough to score. Belmont started quickly in the second half as Bill Garth tallied in the opening minute. Harry Jordan, Jim Young, and Dave High- tower added insurance goals to complete the scoring. Led by center-forward Harry Jordan, Belmont easily defeated Lawrence Academy, 5-0. Jordan opened the scoring in the first minute of play and later pushed across three more tallies. Chris Elwell added the final tally. Tabor cut short Belmont's winning streak at two games, defeating the Hillies, 3-1. The fast, strong Tabor team was able to control the play throughout the game, scoring in each of the first three periods. unior Soccer The Junior soccer team broke even in 1961 with a record of three wins against three losses. The sea- son was highlighted by an impressive 7-0 win over Milton in the third game of the season. Two days after their scheduled opener with Brooks was rained out, the Juniors began the season with a loss to traditionally strong Fessenden, 5-2. In the first two periods, Fessenden was able to push across four goals. In the second half, Belmont out- scored their opponents 2-1, fboth scores being made by Jimmy Bolanl, but was unable to overcome the advantage Fessenden had gained in the first half. Unable to break into the winning column the juniors lost their second game of the season to Bel- mont Junior High, 3-2. The Junior High took a 1-0 lead in the second period, although the Hillies came back to tie the score near the end of the third quarter. The Junior High dominated play in the third period and outscored the Hilltoppers 2-1 to gain the victory. Fred Ross scored Belmont's only goal on a penalty shot in the fourth period. Roxbury Latin, fielding a J.V. team for the first time, was swamped by Belmont Hill, 17-0. The strong Hill attack was led by Jack Denny-Brown with five goals. In the following three games, Belmont suffered three close defeats, losing each by only a single tally. At St. Mark's in a fast, close match the J .Vfs lost, 1-0, despite the alert effort of goalie John Donovan. In another fast game the J.V.'s were defeated by Medford High, 1-0. Belmont had a number of scor- ing opportunities upon which it was unable to capi- talize. Medford scored on a long shot midway through the third period and hung on for the win. Belmont suffered its third straight defeat at Browne 84 Nichols, losing 2-1. David Hightower gave Bel- mont the lead in the first period, but B 8a N came back with two goals on a short score and a penalty shot. Belmont ended its losing streak at Thayer, win- ning 4-1. The home team opened the scoring in the first period, but Belmont, sparked by Fred Ross, came back with four goals in the second half. A powerful Brooks team defeated the J .V.'s, 4-0. A strong defense held the Belmont attackers score- less, while at the same time the offense was able to push in four goals, despite goalie George McCor- mack's excellent play. In the final game of the season Belmont upset powerful Governor Dummer in an overtime contest, 2-1. With mere minutes remaining in the overtime period, Jim Cole tallied to break the deadlock and give the J.V.'s an even season. At the season's end numerals were awarded to the following: Captain F. Ross, Beal, Cole, Danser, Denny-Brown. Donovan, C. Elwell, Garth, Gill, Hawkes, Hightower, Jordan, Keyes, McCormack Merrill, Ockenga, Parker, Price, Wheelwright Young, Zofnass, and Manager J. Russman. 7 7 Both Belmont Hill goals in this closely fought con- test were scored by John Kronenberg. Travelling to Milton, the juniors captured their first win of the season, blanking their hosts 7-0. The constant hustle and team drive of the juniors domi- nated this one-sided contest. Belmont started first, taking a 2-0 lead in the first period on scores by Frank Garrison and Ken Spitzer. Other goals were scored by Tom Frost t2J, Jim Bolan, John Kronen- berg, and Captain Ted Counihan. Travelling to Cambridge for their fourth game, the juniors were edged by Browne and Nichols, 2-1, in an overtime contest. Belmont controlled the play throughout most of the game, but unfortunately was able to score only once. B Sc N tied the game in the fourth quarter offsetting Counihan's first period score, and won the game on a penalty shot in the overtime stanza. In a return match against a much improved Milton squad, Belmont was forced to come up with one of its finest games to defeat the visitors 4-2. Ted Counihan, hitting for three tallies, and Ken Spitzer, with 3 assists on crosses from his wing position, led an aggressive attack. The fourth Hill goal was scored by Bolan in the fourth period. In their final game of the season, the juniors evened their record by defeating Governor Dummer 1-0. Belmont controlled the play throughout the game, but couldn't put the ball in the net until the fourth quarter when Tom Frost blasted home a cross from Spitzer. The Hill defense then held off the Governor attack to clinch the victory. unior Varsity Basketball The 1961-62 Junior Varsity basketball team, building on last years 8-7 record, compiled an im- pressive record of twelve wins and two losses. The J.V.,s sported a young squad with five juniors and eleven sophomores. Beginning their season on the home court against a fast-moving Rivers team, Belmont overcame a six-point half-time deficit to win, 34-28. Bob Bell, leading the offensive drive, threw in twelve points to put Belmont ahead in the third quarter. This, together with Rod Furna1d's brillant rebounding, clinched the victory. Again on their home floor, the J .V. quintet pulled out another game in the second half to breeze by a stunned Noble and Greenough team, 31-24. This game was sparked by the play of George Wyner who netted fourteen points. Next, the Hillies clashed with a tough St. Mark's team at Southboro. The team got off to a slow start, but managed to outscore their rivals by a scant five points, 37-32. A second away game saw Belmont pull another closely fought match out of the Hre and squelch a late Middlesex rally 24-20. Once again, Rod Furnald starred with clutch scoring and re- bounding. Attempting to stretch their win-skein to five, the team succombed to traditional rival Governor Dum- mer at South Byfield. Despite a brillant third period rally by Wyner and Lovell, the Governors held their lead to a 29-34 Hnish. Goaded on by the loss, the Jayvees ran away from a St. Sebastian team by 32-13, and repeated their performance before a demoralized Brooks au- dience to the tune of 23-6. The entire squad con- tributed a surprisingly equal amount to both the scoring and to the defense. Still on an away court, Belmont subdued a strong Browne and Nichols quintet in a much closer con- test, 48-42. The Jayvees, playing a powerful St. Paul's team in Concord, N. H., were barely able to find the basket and suffered their second and final defeat of the season by a score of 17-32. Belmont once again defeated Nobles in a higher 121 scoring, return match, 46-33. A rough but inexperi- enced Cambridge Academy Varsity found more than their match in the strong and continually im- proving Belmont squad. Once again Furnald turned in a well-earned high-score-total of thirteen points, with Wyner not far behind throwing in twelve. Remarches with St. Mark's and Brooks resulted in two additional victories for the Hill, with scores 47-37, and 30-23, respectively. In both contests Bob Bell turned in twelve hoops. The .T.V. Quintet ended their extremely successful season with an easy 35-26 victory over Milton. The season's top scorer and best rebounder was Rod Furnald, compiling a formidable 85 points. His steady rebounding was a major factor in all the team's victories. Backcourtmen Bob Bell and George Wyner were equally spirited in a hustling defense and a high-scoring offense, netting 74 points apiece. Other top scorers included Feresten with 51 points, Green, 37, Palmer, 25, and Croke, 24. Numerals were awarded to: Bell, Bowen, Croke, Feresten, Green, Griefen, Palmer, J. Scott, White, and Wyner. unior Basketball Although the Junior basketball team outscored their competitors by over fifty points in the course of the season, they were unable to Hnish with a win- ning record, finishing with five wins and six losses. Belmont registered an impressive opening 65-15 victory over St. Markis. However, next week a Middlesex squad was able to put itself out of reach of Coach Olin Ingham's Juniors, 38-30. Much like the St. Markis game, Belmont Hill forged ahead of Noble and Greenough at halftime and was unbeatable from then on, collecting the largest number of points in the fourth frame. The hosting Juniors totaled 55 while Nobles hit for 16 points. unior Hockey The Belmont Hill Junior hockey team continued its winning ways of last season, taking the Suburban League Junior High Hockey trophy for the second year in a row, while notching its second consecutive undefeated season. Belmont opened the season against Malden Cath- olic at the Boston Arena with a 6-0 win. Defense- man Tom Koslowski scored twice in the first period, followed later in the game by Jeff Martin C2J, Pete Mueller Clj, and Chris Rowan CD. B. C. High was the second victim of the Juniors, losing 4-0. Gordie Olive led the Belmont attack scoring two goals, with Chris Rowan and Ted Counihan each hitting for one. The defense starred, allowing only five shots on goalie Bill Ulfelder. The Juniors notched their third shutout against Catholic Memorial, 2-0. Pete Mueller scored in the first period and Tom Koslowski in the second for Belmontis goals. Belmont I-Iill's opposition finally broke into the scoring column near the end of the Belmont-Newton Jr. High game, but Belmont came out on top, 2-1. Prenny Clafiin opened the Hill scoring in the first period, and Tom Koslowski closed it in the second period. Falling behind by nine at the midway buzzer, Nelson and Reed rallied for Belmont Hill to place the squad within three of St. Sebastian's. Several baskets in the final period clinched the ballgame for the St. Sibbies team at 32-26. Triumph number three was notched against Brooks a week later, 32-19. Building up a lead of 25-15 at the end of three quarters, Belmont added to its advantage with points by Bolan, Nelson, and Reed in the final period. It seemed to be a repeating cycle of victory, loss, victory, loss for the Juniors as Browne 8: Nichols came up with a fantastic 26 point second period to win, 59-43. Amon, with the season's high total of 22 points for a single game, provided the needed scoring punch to push the Junior squad ahead of Milton Academy, 49-41. Nelson C7J, Troup 171, Beal C4J, Spitzer C4J, Chase C2J, Zofnass C2J, and Baker C15 collected the remainder of Belmont's output. Christian High, Middlesex, and B 81 N, in suc- cession, toppled the Juniors from the even slate of three and three which they had posted so far. Gill- ingham and Christopher poured in a combined 40 points for Christian, to sustain their four point half- time margin as Belmont Hill fought back all the way. Despite the tallies of Amon, Beal, Chase, Fisher, Nelson, and Reed, Middlesex once again edged out the Juniors, by practically the identical score as before, 39-30. B 8: N also took its return match with the Hill, romping over the visiting team 42-24. In the final contest of the schedule, the Jun- iors found their fifth victory over St. Markfs, 32-22.

Geordie Olive, Mike Fennolosa, and Robin Murray regis- tered twice, while Tom Koslowski, Tex Lintner, and Ted Counihan each scored once. Belmont Hill extended its win streak to six with a 5-0 win over Lexington Jr. High. Single tallies by Geordie Olive, Randy Byrnes, Chris Rowan, Pete Mueller, and Jeff Martin clinched the victory. Goalies Pickman and Ulfelder made but three saves during the entire game. The impressive win streak was broken by Milton, who gained a 0-0 tie with the Juniors. Belmont con- trolled play throughout the game, but was unable to score on an excellent Milton goalie. To avenge this tie, the Hillies bounced back to trounce Middlesex, 12-0. Tom Koslowski and Gordie Olive scored the hat trick, while Jay Stewart tallied twice. Single scores were registered by Mike Fenellosa, George McManama, Bill Blout, and Ted Counihan.

Goals were scored by Mueller 133, 122 and Fenellosa C21 Olive, Stewart, Williams, Murray, McManama, and Koslowski each marked once.

Wing Geordie Olive had a field day, netting four goals in the Belmont romp, while single tallies were registered by Mueller, Fenellosa, McManama, Murray, Moore, Price, and Ewart. In the semifinal round of the championship, it took the Hillies three regular periods plus three overtime periods to beat Stoneham, 3-1. The game was scoreless until the third overtime period, when Tom Koslowski, Pete Mueller, and Mike Fenellosa hit pay dirt to put Belmont Hill into the finals. Between the semifinal and final round games, the Juniors found time to beat Brown and Nichols again, 5-1. Geordie Olive and George McManama each scored two goals, while Mike Fenellosa tallied once. Belmont copped the league championship in the final game of the season, beating Melrose Jr. High, unior Varsity Hockey Although four times the victims of disappointing one-goal losses, the Junior Varsity Hockey team still put together a creditable record of 5 wins, 5 defeats, and 1 tie. Moreover, the J.V. puckmen regained the league championship with a thrilling 3-2 triumph over a strong Noble and Greenough sextet at the annual all-day jamboree. For the second consecutive year, Butch Maxwell led the scorers with 9 goals and 2 assists for a total of 11 points. Close behind were John Smethurst and John Weeks with 7 and 5 points, respectively. The Hilltoppers also benefitted from solid defensive play on the parts of Sullivan, John Dewey, John Duncan, and Don Robinson, meanwhile, Captain Chris El- well sparkled in the nets. In the season's opener, the J .V.'s were unable to cope with Andover's wide passing game and dropped a 2-0 decision in the last period. Three days later, Maxwell found the scoring touch, tallying both goals to lead the Smithmen to a 2-0 win over Deerfield. The jubilation was short-lived, however, as Milton proceeded to hand the local sextet their second loss of the young season, 3-2. Maxwell and Worthen pushed Belmont into a momentary lead in the third period, but Miltonas Cutler quickly knotted the score and his teammate, Guild, fired the winning goal at 1:56 of the ensuing overtime period. The Jamboree found John Smethurst's two goals providing the margin of victory over Middlesex in the first match. Against Governor Dummer, Max- well tallied in overtime for a 3-2 victory to gain a place in the finals. Two weeks later, the Hilltoppers met Nobles for the championship. 4-0. After a scoreless first period, Belmont Hill finally tallied, with Geordie Olive, Pete Mueller, and Tex Lintner finding the mark. Randy Byrnes scored in the final period to end the game at 4-0, and the season at 13-1-0. Unable to score in overtime, the J .V.'s had to settle for a 3-3 tie with Brooks. Maxwell tallied twice and Weeks added another, but the Smithmen were unable to hold on to their slim one-goal mar- gin. Gaining revenge for their Jamboree loss, Mid- dlesex shaded the J.V.,s, 1-0, on a second period goal made during a scramble in front of the nets. St. Mark's added insult to injury by handing Bel- mont its fourth loss, 2-1, on two goals by Breese. But the Hillies regained their winning ways against Browne 84 Nichols who fell, 5-0. The final game of the season, Middlesex led all the way, and although Maxwell put Belmont back in the game late in the final period, the J.Vfs were unable to get the offense in gear. Middlesex won 2-1 to end a successful season on a disappointing note. Numerals were awarded to: Capt. Elwell, Dewey, Duncan, Maclaurin, Maxwell, Robinson, Scott, Shaw, Smethhurst, Stiles, Sullivan, True, Vietor, Willard, and Worthen. unior Varsity Baseball Following an almost consistent pattern of big wins and big losses, the Junior Varsity baseball team compiled an impressive 8-3 record on the sea- son. Blessed with an arsenal of heavy bats, the Sanfordmen have undoubtedly set a record for the most runs scored in a single season with a total of 122. 91 runs were scored in the first five games. Coach Sanford's pleasant afternoon at Mid- dlesex was brought about by a 7-1 victory by the Jayvees. Seven strikeouts for pitcher Byrnes and a good performance in the field gave the Hillies an encouraging start. Taking advantage of fourteen walks and eleven hits, the Hillmen trampled Governor Dummer 23-3. The highlight of the game was Captain Chip Spilios' triple with three men on. A ten strikeout effort turned in by hurler Coggeshall kept the visitors in check. A blazing finish afforded Belmont a 12-11 win over Middlesex in a rally-sparked victory over the Concordians. An eight run fifth inning came about as the result of seven walks, three errors, and a Senior Baseball Expectations were more than fulfilled as this sea- son's Senior Baseball Team, coached by Mr. Olin Ingham, cruised to an almost undefeated season, dropping only one, their last game, for an 8-1 record on the year. Gaining a big lead in the early innings, the Senior Hillmen managed to retain the victory in spite of a seven run Browne and Nichols rally as they downed the Black Knights by a slightly smaller margin than they had held earlier in the contest, 10-7 . Pitchers Jay Stewart and Pete Mueller held off the B 8L N threat while a nine hit blitz over five frames gave the victors their edge. home run by Spilios. Hill pitching gave up thirteen walks and eight hits compared to ten and five re- spectively for Middlesex. Notching their fourth win in a row, the Jayvees held a solid lead all the way as they breezed past Browne and Nichols, 21-8. Third baseman Ed Chase came up with the big hit of the game, a homer with the sacks jammed to put the home team out in front 5-0 in the second. Absorbing their first loss, the Hillies were downed 19-5 by the Belmont High Sophs. The Sanfordmen capitalized on three walks and four hits to push their five runs across in the bottom of the second, but fifteen walks by three pitchers and an abundance of hits enabled the Sophs to gain an easy victory. Three clutch hits in the fifth by Koslowski, Brown, and Quinn for three vital runs gave the Hill a come-from-behind victory over Milton for their fifth win. Pitcher Byrnes struck out ten for the win. Meeting St. Marks for the first time the Jayvees slipped by their opponents 5-4 before a large parents day crowd, The decisive run came on back-to-back singles by Byrnes, Weeks, and Koslowski. Travelling to Governor Dummer the Hillies took advantage of the teamls weaknesses and trounced Governors 20-6. A slow start enabled the opposition to gain a 6-0 lead, but Belmont bounced back with one in the second, five in the third, six in the fourth, four in the fifth and sixth, on a total of fifteen hits and thirteen walks. Disintergrating before the Jayvees' seventeen hit attack, Brooks fell 15-3. Unable to come back in the stretch, they were sanfordized. The final contest of the season saw Belmont edged 7-6 in extra innings by Nobles. Twice the Jayvees enjoyed two-run leads, but after deadlocking the contest in the sixth, the Noblemen came through to win it in the eighth. Numerals were awarded to: Captain Christopher Spilios, Brown, Byrnes, Chase, E., Coggeshall, Flet- cher, Foster, Green, Koslowski, Page, A., Petri, F., Quinn, Scott, J., Stafiier, Sullivan, Wales, R., and Weeks. Taking their second victory in as many games, the Hillies swept past Rivers, 8-4, on the hurling of Rob Nelson who went all the way, striking out eight. Hits by Stewart and Gilpatric combined with a series of walks and errors netted Belmont eight runs in the first stanza. A fine clutch pitching stint by chucker Tom Amon gave Belmont a 5-4 edge over Milton and its third consecutive win. Down 3-0 in the fifth, the Hillies rallied for three runs on hits by Captain .T ack Lint- ner, Ulfelder, and Reed, and appending two more in the sixth went out ahead, 5-3. For Amon it was his first win. A fifteen run fourth inning provided the Hill with a satisfactory lead as the Seniors took their fourth win at the expense of Brooks, 24-1. The Big Green were held hitless and scoreless through the fourth by the pitching of ace Stewart. Taking their fifth in a row, the Seniors dropped B 8a N for the second time in a suspenseful come- from-behind victory, 13-12. The win was secured only in the final frame as singles by power-hitter Ulfelder and Tom Amon tied and won the game. Reliable pitching by Stewart and Mueller netted the Seniors another walk-away triumph as they fiat- tened St. Marks, 9-6. Holding the opposition to a scant four hits, the Hill pitching team prevented a sixth inning rally from developing into a victory for the Marksmen. A nine hit offensive output gained the Hillies their early 9-3 lead as they notched their sixth straight win. Riding rough-shod over Middlesex, the Seniors put themselves way in the lead as a result of Cap- tain Lintnerls grand slam and took the game handily, 7-2. Jamming the sacks on singles by Amon, Wood, and Moore, the Hillmen set the stage for Lintner's blast in the sixth. Nine runs in the final stanza gave the Hilltoppers their eighth consecutive win as they trounced Rox- bury Latin, 12-6. Behind 6-0, the Ingham-men unior Baseball Perhaps one of the strongest Junior Baseball Teams seen in recent years, compiled an only fair record of 5-3. Yet two of their three losses were by one run and all were close contests. Opening the season on a strong note, the Juniors swept past Fessenden, 7-1, on home ground. The Hillmen gained an early lead and kept it by dint of a seven hit attack and seven walks. An equally strong defense was sparked by three hit pitching of Rick Fisher who notched nine strikeouts on the way to his and the Juniors first win. Losing a heartbreaker by one run in the final frame, the Hillies were edged 6-5 by Rivers. A first inning home run by Fay temporarily put the Sawyer- men out in front, 3-0, but coming back with two in the second, two in the third, and one in the fourth, Rivers went ahead by two. An additional tally in the fifth proved the decider as a two run rally, led by hits from Fisher and Captain MacManama, fell one short. A crushing 12-1 victory over Browne and Nichols gave the Junior Hilltoppers their second win. Bang- ing out a total of nine safeties in the short four in- ning ball game, the Juniors gave pitcher Ed Galla- gher plenty of support, while he limited the oppo- sition to a scant three hits. Dropping another close decision, Belmont was downed by St. Sebastian's, 6-4. The Saints posted a four run first frame lead and added two more in the second, before the Juniors got started. Seven hits 125 notched three in the third before their nine tally splurge. Suffering their first defeat at the hands of Noble 8: Greenough, the Seniors fell, 9-6. At one point the Noblemen had built up a 7-0 lead, but this was narrowed to 7-6 before they added the final two. brought in a run in the fourth and three in the fifth for the home team, but to no avail. Overpowering Noble and Greenough, the Junior nine showed their offensive prowess, knocking out eleven hits and gaining their third victory, 13-2. Con- tinuing in their winning ways, the Juniors dropped Browne gl Nichols again, by the score of 8-1. Mound-man Fisher scattered the opposition's five hits while Captain George MacManama led the offense with two hits and three runs scored. The win left the Juniors at 4-2 on the year. Dropping their second game to St. Sebastian's and their third defeat of the year, the Hilltoppers fell, 5-4 in a rally sparked confiict. In the final game of the season, the Sawyermen whitewashed Roxbury Latin, 9-0. An outstanding performance by Rick Fisher, who threw a one-hitter, highlighted the game. Intermediate Football An outstanding Intermediate Football Team came through with its first undefeated season in school history this year, being unscored upon while notch- ing 130 points for themselves in the live game slate. Coach Warren felt that it was one of the best squads he had coached. In the opener, Belmont jumped on Fay, 28-0. Ahead 14-0 on two tallies by Co-Captain Jim An- Cub Football In a tough season which saw nary a single victory laurel for them, the Belmont Hill Cub Football Team endured, and played hard with a bitter deter- mination, but to no avail. They did well against competition which was supposedly out of their league, while not seeming able to launch an effective dreson after the first half, the Hillmen quickly widened their lead on scores by Vatter and Co- Captain Pren Claflin. Meeting tougher competition, the Hillies could manage only a 14-0 whitewashing of Rivers. The Warrenmen netted all their points in the first half, as both Andreson and Claflin reached the end zone. Off on a scoring spree, the Intermediates trounced St. Mark's by a considerable margin, 48-0. Scoring touchdowns for the victors were Vatter and Clafiin, with two apiece, and Vernaglia and Freedman each notched one, while Steve Bell of the Cubs added still another for the forty-eight point total. Meeting Noble and Greenough for the first time, the Hillmen chalked up their fourth and easy vic- tory, 29-0. The first tally came in the first quarter as Andreson capped a long drive. Other scoring for the Hill was accomplished by Dave Pickman and Vatter, while Pete Fisher booted the final extra point. Winding up the season with an unblemished slate, the Intermediates knocked off Fessenden 14-0, add- ing still another to their list of victims. On the first tally, Dave Pickman dove across from inside the ten yard line. Moulton added the second T.D. on a pass from Claiiin. Much of the credit for this season's success must be given to the line which held the opposition score- less in every contest. Outstanding among the line- men were: Chuck Hamilton, Andy Frazier, Jay Welch, and Hap Ellis. attack against those on the official slate. Leading the team in ground gaining and scoring was Steve Bell with twenty points, Pickman came in a close second in the ground gaining department, while Will Elwell was number one passer and followed Bell in scoring with a scant two points. Opening the season at Fessenden, the Hillies dropped their first contest, 14-8, with forebodings of more of the same to come. Scoring for Belmont was Steve Bell in the first half with Elwell adding two on the conversion. Playing Derby School in the second contest of the four schedule, the Cubs were whitewashed, 14-0, in a difficult game which might have been pulled out. Facing Browne and Nichols for the third tilt of the year, the hapless Cubs were downed again by the decisive score of 28-8. Doing all the scoring for Belmont, Steve Bell broke through the Black Knight's line for one score and added two points on a pass play authored by Will Elwell. Concluding the disappointing season with yet another defeat, the Cubs were grounded again by Fessenden, 16-6. Again Bell put Behnont in the scoring column as he crashed through for the lone Hill tally. Playing the last quarter of an Intermediate con- test, the Cub eleven fared better than they had in their own competition, outscoring the opposition, Noble and Greenough, 6-0, as Holmes scored. Intermediate Baseball Setting an impressive record for any Intermediate team, the Hill Intermediate Baseball Team ended their season with live wins, two losses and a tie. Coached by Mr. Morton, the team consisted in the main of Hap Ellis as number mound artist, assisted by Audltore who also wore the fool's toolsl' on occasion, when Robbins was not in possession of them. Phil Wilcox, a threat at the plate, held down first base, while Tony Tompson covered the second sack. Pete Fisher and Andy Myerson alternated at third and Will Elwell plugged the gap between second and third, with Charlie Osborne the backbone of the outfield. In the leadoff game of the season, the Intermed- iates slipped by Fessenden by the score of 7-5. Going the distance for the victors, Hap Ellis held back the opposition while his teammates provided him with just a little more than enough back-up to ease by with the victory. Taking their second win by a little closer margin, the Mortonmen edged out Roxbury Latin, 3-2. In gaining his second triumph in as many starts, Ellis again showed good form. In an indecisive conflict, the Hillies and Browne and Nichols came out all knotted up, at 9-9. It was a bad day for Hurler Audi- tore who was unable to get that one run from his batting mates. Cub Baseball Coach Gib Warren's Cub baseball squad of four- teen players finished out its schedule of five games on May 23 with a slate of three victories and two losses. Captain Steve Bell, starting pitcher through- out the season, had a high batting average along with teammates Jim Coleman, Charles Dane, and Richard Stiles. Taking on Fessenden School in mid-April Bel- mont Hill captured its first victory ll-4, in a game which featured a barrage of walks for the Hillies. Belmont's single hit was registered by Dane in the third frame. Nearly one month after their first victorious en- counter the Cubs shut out Rivers, 8-0, on a one- hitter by Bell. The one hit, a double, came in the final inning with two outs and two strikes on the batter. A return contest with Fessenden on May 16 Went to the squad from Newton by the score of 7-2. Coleman, relieving Bell, could not prevent Fessen- den's offensive attack while the Cubs could not hit off Fessenden's improved pitching staff. Losing to Rivers was a painful ordeal, since the victory edge was by ten runs, 14-4. However, darker days followed close by, for the Intermediates dropped their second in a row, ll-2, to Pike. Com- ing out of the slump, the Hilltoppers pounced on B 84 N., ll-6. A further sign of their recovery came on May 16 as they took revenge on Rivers, 14-8. Capping the season, the Hillmen again nosed out Fessenden in a 7-6 decision. Base-on-balls given up and errors committed by Belmont Hill determined the May 18 contest in favor of Roxbury Latin, 6-4. Again when Bell tired, Coleman came to the mound, but he too, was unable to check the opposition. In the final game of the season, a close decision was gained by Belmont Hill's Cubs, as five players were walked during the last inning to place Belmont at a two to one run advantage. Bell received credit for the team's third triumph and his third victory. Mr. and Mrs. David W. Bernstein Mrs. Walter H. Birnie Mr. and Mrs. H.

BELMONT CENTER ESSO STATION 7 Channing Road General Auto Repairs Road Service Tires - Batteries - Lubrication Class Explanation fcont.j vealed that the Great Iron Curtain surrounding Dana Hall could be penetrated by talents other than those of the Glee Club. Following this triumph, the organization again slipped into the oblivion of lunchtime announcements, and Casselman and Petrie left by the side door. Druker left the Glee Club once too often, and he couldn't come back. Mr. Modica thought we were a nice group of boys and made sure that he repeated everything three times, which usually left live minutes to sing. We traveled to Dana Hall for a meet, but lost, 1-0. Palmer decided that everyone should hear him sing because he was president and so he established a practice of singing solos with the group even though we were singing too. Study halls for seniors became almost nonexistent as we found new frontiers of amusement. Before, we had always signed out for Panel, Lyceum, Yearbook, or something like that before we went out to fool around. This was kid stuif and really not much fun at all. We learned to direct our attentions to the Howe Reading Room, where we formed round table discussion groupsg Mrs. Lewis's Office, where we found a good friendg and the Hobby House. The Hobby House eventually became the great favorite, mainly be- cause in it we found one of the most good-humored, and yet most sympathetic and understanding individuals that any senior ever knew. Whenever we had a gripe or a problem that neither a parent nor a faculty member could solve, we naturally turned to the l'Paisanof' In addition to doing half the panels, Mr. Togneri listened to complaints about food, tests, faculty members, and the administration all year long, and never once was there the fear that something a little bit nasty might get the wrong person. Our hats will always be off to Mr, T. Just before Christmas, Mr. Aloian ventured into the restrooms in Howe and read the writing on the walls. This proved genuinely upsetting to him and we heard about it the following day in assembly. He pronounced such scrib- blings as immature, shameful, immoral, and also lousy po- etry. The very thought of it upset many people and almost as many amateur poets. After Christmas vacation, the Basketball Team played and lost its iirst game to Rivers. This was a good thing, 153 because it reduced the pressure. After a few more games, there was really no pressure at all. At about this time, everyone started giving speeches in the chapel assembly. Doug and Arthur did an intensely intellectual analysis of the blues, Arthur played records of some remarkably tal- ented fellow who could play the harmonica and imitate a coyote at the same time while, Doug explained thought- fully some interracial ramifications. Casselman rose one Friday morn and explained the psycho-sociological im- plications of Mother Goose and the nursery rhyme. Shortly thereafter, Litvack ascended and warbled wonderfully about an untrustworthy hussy named Jenny. It was about this time that John had decided that Ginny was just not right for Carl and so he wouldn't speak to him for two months. Needless to say, this slowed work on the Yearbook con- siderably. The year rolled on, like a Hat tire you might say, and we made it through mid-term exams. Everyone dutifully set his mind to wasting time until spring vacation, that glorious time of mud and water, unless you go north or south. Some went sunning to the south, and had great fun even though they didn't get into Life magazine. Some went skiing to the north, notably to a gathering at the Worthen Homestead near Wildcat!, New Hampshire. Dougie was troubled and put very much in pain by the recurrence of two little problems, the account of which held great fas- cination for Birnie. The pres. was learning all sorts of new words and phrases, the use of which gave him unimagin- able delight. While in the north country, Bradlee, Brooks, Casselman, Hall, and Worthen set some sort of record for taking full advantage of a moon in New Hampshire. No- body won any prizes for thesis preparation, however. Ex- cept for Nigro, that is, who read twenty-six years worth of editorials .in the New York Timesg word had it, though, that this was just for fun. When we returned from a Nirvana. of two weeks with- out homework, the only things we had to worry about were the thesis, Advanced Placement Examinations, Finals, and, oh yes, college acceptances. It was a pretty quiet time. As Carl put it one day, Well, there's not much to do now, is there? . . . fellas? History classes began to get interesting as Mr. Calder ran out of witticisms and started to lecture verbatim from Fairbank, although he was nice enough to ask us what parts he should read. The thesis came up from time to time, but was always quickly dis- posed of, proberbly because it was not a sufliciently nebu- Ious consideration to spend time on. Nevertheless, we knew we had to do one-it was on the assignment sheet if nothing else, and we kept hearing about Purcell's, so we also knew that no one escaped. Willwerth was especially diligent, and by the time Mayday had rolled around, he had slogged through the African desert on the trunk of Rommel's tank to the tune of eighty-five meticulous pages, which his sister typed at 26 each. Hightower finished his at 4:58 P.M., having had to wait for the afternoon edition of the A tlanm Journal to see if the Supreme Court agreed with him. Mr. Calder did anyway. Karp had a good time with smoking and lung cancer, pasting pictures of finger- less hands and handless fingers torn from library books, on the Howe bulletin board. But there were still butts in the Common Room. Bradlee, having missed the experience of a Fifth Form History paper, found himself unequal to the task of producing thirty pages, and satisfied himself with nine. Mr. Calder was not so satisfied, and regardless of what Mr. Fisher said, would not give Eric the cus- tomary football five. Axel learned to type on the evening of the 30th, completing a short, self-taught, home study night course. But the big day for most people was April 16. Most people, anyway. Dean Coleman had long before relieved the suspense for many, but the Crimson quota was down some. The Big Green looked to many, and fortunately, many looked to the Big Green. Middlebury tried to get away from being a security college, and no one got in. Casselman and Willett got into Williams, and formed a Western College Clique with Perry and Petrie, who went even further, like California. Spring sports were something of a high note. Seventy people climbed into eight shells, and more by good luck than good management, nobody drowned. Mr. Fisher han- dled the, Baseball overiiow-after all, thirteen is quite a sizeable team-- and under the heading of Health Club, everyone enjoyed softball, football, capture the fiag, weight lifting, skipping rope and skipping out. As the spring moved along, the spectre of Advanced Placements appeared on the horizon. For Nigro it was almost too much, as. he struggled through the week, consuming fifteen hours dis- coursing on everything from the comedy of Plautus to the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus. After this session, Finals were something of an anticlimax for many. But there was Esquire Day, which turned out to be the best in years. Mr. Hamilton wasn't there maybe out of fear or respect, but even if he had been we're sure he would have appreciated the Fuhrer and the Bagel. More was to come later in the day as folksongs were sung in the Hobby House, a mob of us stole Perry's car, and Jon White's performance in a stickball game showed us that maybe he would pass the physical at West Point. Worthen aided F.C.C. in a psychological experiment by running off with a persecuted Fourth Former. Classes were held on the lawn. 154 Finals came. One week later we reluctantly pushed our bodies out of bed, and then we got up too to come to the Baccalaureate. We were greeted by a pleasant surprise as the Rev. Mr. Jellis said a lot and said it well. We found out that all teenagers weren't bad and that religion was more forward than back- ward. Prize Day was monotonous as ,Cole brought a wheel- barrow, but Birnie gave a real clever parody on run-of-the- mill, trite graduation speeches. Brooksie got the Dodge award, which was no surprise as he had been working on his '54 most of the spring. The next day everybody grad- uated, and Brows was lifted. The Prom was great as we all Danced on a table top which Eric had rentedg Lockshin, after four weeks of going through the Dana Hall address list, ended up asking the same girl who had already agreed to go in December. He lost her later on the way to the airport during Ba1tol's party, maybe because he fiew too high. Smitty decided that the school needed a twist exhibition, and so he led the seniors in a revival in spite of his date's disapproval. Some went to Bartol's party, and some took their dates home, everyone found dates at Bartolls party, though, where some of us played musical girls. There was a steady stream of beer, and we toasted everything from birth control to Sarah Blanding. Bimiels date became disillusioned with the pres., and Lockshin took over momentarily until he lost her too. We discovered Bartol's pool and some went swimming while others went in. Then we went to Keyes's breakfast party. Worthen was so anxious to get there that he went down Rt. 2 at 110 m.p.h., and John Law reigned him in for a court appearance at nine. Some ate breakfast and others kept eating. The milkman proved unsociable, and wouldn't join us in a beer. Smitty wasn't believin' it. After a day of rest, we all traveled to Carl's house on the Cape for a party. There was swimming for those who weren't still swimming, and others began to swim again. The beer supply figured out to exactly three beers apiece, but Petrie and Worthen, goaded on by Hightower, thought this was too socialistic, and kept things unbalanced. Meanwhile, it occurred to some people that the time had about arrived when the Yearbook had to be sent to New York, and a bedraggled group began to appear with some irregularity, Casselman and Barnard with their wives, in the chambers of what was now our Alma Mater. Everyone said that everything was just fine except for Nigro, who, unfortunately, was not too far off. The lousy pessimist, We came down to the thirteenth of June with everything sort of almost all done, with the exception of some make- up, copy, and pictures and things like that. We had two days to complete one-hundred and fifty-six pages, and Shin had three days to garner sufficient loot to print the whole cataclysmic failure, since he had been lying to Mr. Simonds all spring about how much he had. So here we are, strug- gling on the night of the fifteenth, hoping against hope that Mr. Hamilton won't leave for New Hampshire before this gets written because then we will really be in duck soup, and with Carl champing at the bit because he has to leave for Maine with Ginny at 6 A.M. tomorrow, do we have problems. Now you know why. SCHOOL HYMN How happy is he born and taught, That serveth not another's will, Whose armor is his utmost thought, And simple truth his utmost skillg Whose passions not his masters are, Whose soul is still prepared for death Not tied unto the world by care Of public fame or private breathg Who God doth late and early pray, More of his grace than goods to lend, And Walks with man, from day to day As with a brother and a friend! This man is free from servile bands, Of hope to rise or fear to fallg Lord of himself though not of lands, And having nothing, yet hath all. Henry Wotton I r B 1 X N.
