r-Lr d a ° ra mam PUBLISHED BOSTON publV LATIN SCHOOL SW CD eel i ication We, the Class of 1945, consider it a privilege and an honor to dedicate this, our Yearbook, to our esteemed master. FRED PARKER HAMILTON PIKE During, his long, and faithful service at our school, he has been beloved by all who have known him as friend and teacher. We are proud to welcome him as a member of our class. CLASS OF NINETEEN FORTY FIVE: My regret at leaving the Latin School is lessened by my leaving in such good company for I esteem it no small honor to become a graduate of Latin School as an honorary member of your class. You know how high a privilege is yours and also how great an obligation it entails. You will, I have no doubt, meet that obligation in full in the service of your country and in doing your part in the work of rebuilding a world of fine men. I have great admiration for the way in which you have kept calmly busy with the work of preparing for the tasks which lie ahead. May your highest aspirations be attained. That is the sincere wish of Your friend CJo reword The Latin School is more than a building and a tradition. It is a living institution, one which annually sends about two hundred and fifty young men into the world. Because of circumstances beyond its control, the Class of 1945 differs from former graduating groups. Pearl Harbor came when we were freshmen. Since that December day, we have witnessed many changes in our daily routine. As special wartime courses found their way into our school and as our older brothers donned their country’s uniform, we began to think beyond the narrow confines of our daily existence. We have learned to discuss aspects of inter- national affairs with as much familiarity as we once dis- cussed teachers, classmates, and sports. The time has come for the Class of 1945 to step forth and face the world. Even before graduation, the class is greatly dismembered. About half of us are already serving in the armed forces or obtaining a partial college course prior to induction. Under such conditions it might be easier to forget some of our classmates. To aid us when memories grow dim, however, we shall always have Liber Actorum, 1945. On her pages are our faces, records, and activities. We have tried to make this book a reflection of the life and spirit that are the real B.L.S. — the school that will linger in our memories.

(Powers 111 essage You boys of the graduating class are fin- ishing your secondary schooling at a time of great uncertainty. Under normal conditions, you would go directly on to college and be- gin to make plans for your life-work. Now, the continuity of your education is one of the casualties of war. If physically sound, you will certainly be called to the armed services of your country, and there is likely to be an interval of two or more years before you can pick up again the studies which you had hoped to carry on. I know that each of you will accept this situation philosophically and in a patriotic spirit, realizing that the service of your country is your first and most important duty at this time. The carrying-on of war is a stupendous organized effort, and victory requires that every individual perform his allotted task to the best of his ability and with the utmost devotion to our cause. I am confident that the boys of this class will prove themselves in no way inferior in this respect to those Latin School boys who, in all our Country ' s wars, have sprung eagerly to her defence. My earnest advice at this time is that you settle your admission to college before you are called into the Service. Then, upon the restoration of peace, you will not have to worry about fulfilling admission require- ments. The government will assist you finan- cially in your college expenses, and most col- leges will treat you considerately in view of the interruption of your studies. I urge each of you to persist in your col- lege plans, not only for your own sakes but for the sake of the nation. With the return of peace, our nation will be faced with stag- gering problems: the reestablishment of civ- ilian industries, the reemployment of vet- erans, and the readjustment of war workers, the relations of capital and labor, our rela- tions with other nations, and many questions equally confusing. The country will need men with trained minds and broad vision. I do not mean that boys in college will have to solve these problems. But times passes quickly; and before you fully realize it, our leaders of today will be ready to pass their burdens on to you and your generation. It is your duty, to yourselves and to your coun- try, that you be prepared, mentally and spir- itually, to take up those burdens. Page Eleven 635-1945 North Side School Street 1645-1748 To be able to look back over three hun- dred and ten years of worthy achievement is the heritage that belongs to the students and graduates of the Boston Public Latin School. Founded on April 23, 1635. by the Town of Boston, the School enjoys the distinction of being known everywhere as the mosr an- cient and honorable” public school in Amer- ica. A man who would know the history of Boston during any of its many, many years would do well to study the records in the School Library. For in the lives of its young men is found the story of a city and of a nation. Early in America ' s infancy one of the first settlers of the Massachusetts Bay Colony, the Reverend John Cotton, sought to establish a free school in the new world, to be modelled in curriculum after Free Grammar School in Boston, England. Town archives show his success and record the approval of Philemon Pormort as the first Master, who was to keep the School at his own house. A year later, as enrollment increased, Daniel Maude was chosen to assist him. Head Master Pormort, seeking religious freedom in the New World, became dissatisfied with the doctrines of Bos- ton ministers and so joined the followers of Mrs. Anne Hutchinson and founded the town of Exeter, New Hampshire. As a re- sult, Maude became headmaster; and the School moved to his home until the erection, in 1645, of the first schoolhouse. To this day, the street on which the first schoolhouse stood is known as School Street. School was opened in these times by the master’s reading Attendemus, the roll call, and rhymed psalms from the Bible. It dosed with the Latin Deponite Libros, Set down the books.” The town allowed fifty pounds and a house to the Master; and thirty pounds to his assistant, known as an Usher. In addition, the rents of Deer, Long, and Spectacle Islands were assigned to the sup- port of the School. The celebrated Ezekiel Cheever, who was generally regarded as the best teacher in the colonies and who had authored the famous Accidence,” the accepted Latin Grammar, became head master some time later and served in that capacity until his death in office in 1708. His successor, Nathaniel Williams, was the first pupil to become headmaster. During South Side School Street 1748-1812 Page Twelve Williams’ years the Master’s salary was raised to one hundred pounds, and the usher was still supplied at the Town’s expense. In 1734 Williams resigned; and John Lov- ell, his assistant, was appointed to the va- cancy — to become the pride of Boston’s par- ents and the terror of its youth.” The years of Lovell’s office were the beginnings of dis- content and the seed-time of revolution among the colonists. Lovell ' s son James, an ardent patriot, was appointed usher in 1760. The father had always been a strong Loyalist. For a time they taught from desks at opposite ends of the schoolroom and voiced opposite political convictions, thus typifying many a Boston family in those trying times. Boys in the winter of 1774-75 brought sleds to school and in the afternoon coasted down Beacon Street across Tremont Street and down School Street. A servant of Gen- eral Haldiman, subordinate commander of the British troops in Boston and resident on School Street, cut up the coast and put ashes on it. The lads made a muster” and pre- sented their complaint to the General him- self. Hearing their case, he ordered his serv- ant to repair the coast, saying that he had enough trouble with Boston men and wanted none with Boston boys. The School closed on the morning of April South Side School Street 1812-1844 19, 1775 as Headmaster John Lovell, hearing of the rout of English soldiers at the battles of Lexington and Concord, angrily cried: War’s begun and School’s done. Deponite libros.” At the evacuation of Boston in March of the following year, both the Lov- ells sailed with Lord Howe to Halifax, Nova Scotia; the father as Howe’s guest, the son below decks as a prisoner of war. For admission to the school in this period, it was necessary for the candidate to read a few verses from the Bible. Each of the six or seven classes of the school sat at different benches as they studied Latin, Greek, and the elementary subjects.” Classes started at seven o’clock in summer and eight in the winter, and dosed at eleven. The afternoon session lasted from one o’clock until five. After the regular lessons, pupils attended a nearby writing school. Thursday mornings at ten the school was dismissed in order that pupils might attend the Thursday Lecture,” a custom borrowed from Boston, England. The Latin School opened under Samuel Hunt following the departure of the Lovells. He ruled with difficulty until 1805. He was succeeded by William Bigelow, who after nine years of still rougher going, also re- signed. This period of scholastic rebellion ended abruptly with the advent of Benjamin Ap- thorp Gould and his introduction of the misdemeanor mark.” He also founded the School Library, began the practice of decla- mation, and caused regular reports of schol- arship and conduct to be sent to the parents. Page Thirteen Gould’s successor in 1828 was another author — this time Frederic Leverett, whose Latin Lexicon’ ’ soon was adopted as a standard volume. He remained in office three years, resigning to become head of a private school. One of the most important among the earlier masters assumed his duties in 1836. He was Epes Sargent Dixwell, a former in- structor at the English High School. During his term of fifteen years the Library took shape and became an actuality. In passing, it is interesting to note that Dixwell had with him as usher the famous Edward Ev- erett Hale; while the succeeding master, Francis Gardner, had Phillips Brooks. Both of these ushers later distinguished themselves as great religious leaders in Boston. Gard- ner, himself, was one of the most renowned men of New England in the middle of the nineteenth century. He edited a series of Latin textbooks, vigorously opposed any al- teration of the School’s time-honored curric- ulum, made both many friends and many enemies, and was eminent as a just and prac- tical Yankee. He died in 1876, the first mas- ter to die in office since Ezekiel Cheever. With increasing enrollment, the School found it necessary to move first to quartern on Bedford Street and a generation later to a double building on Warren Avenue which it shared with the English High School. The master at this time was Dr. Moses Merrill, who reorganized the method of instruction and the subject-matter on a sane and more Warren Avenue Corridor Page Fourteen modern basis. A man of high character and strong moral influence, his work with but few changes from his original plans lives after him as an active memorial. The noble men who have followed him in our times are more vividly remembered by the present Masters and Alumni. To en- deavor to estimate the scholarship, integrity, and love of duty of these men is but to repeat the traditions of their calling. To speak of Arthur Fiske, the great Greek scholar; Henry Pennypacker, the nationally famous Chair- man of the Committee of Admission at Har- vard College; and the well-loved Patrick Campbell, Superintendent of Boston Schools from 1931 to 1937 serves not to open new facts to the historian, but to recall pleasant memories of student days to the reader. The growth of the School and its conse- quent establishment in its imposing edifice on Avenue Louis Pasteur is remarkable. Des- pite its rapid growth, its graduates continued to make themselves a more distinguished group than any other American school pre- paring young men for college. The members of this year ' s class must per- force feel the great tradition which has been handed down to them. All of us must un- Corner of Assembly Hall derstand what we have inherited. Three hundred and ten years of solid achievement may be interpreted as the dream of a colonial minister come true. We owe our success to the patient devotion of masters who have given their lives to the teaching service; to the deeds and ideals to noble graduates ; and to the industry and perseverance of the thou- sands of students who have been Latin School boys.

At twelve-thirty, the Graduating Class of 1945 filed into the School Hall, while the school band, under the direction of Mr. Sor- dillo, played its opening selection. Already in the hall were the juniors, sophomores and families and friends of the class. Mr. Gardner, acting in place of Mr. Powers, immediately turned over the meeting to the Vice-President of the Graduating Class, Bertram Rodman. The latter, speaking in place of President O’Neil, who is in the armed forces, delivered a brief, but fitting address. He then called upon Merrill Lov- inger and David Yarosh, w r ho brilliantly played a piano duet arrangement of the opening movement of Beethoven ' s Fifth Symphony. Next on the program was the Class Ora- tion, in which Peter F. Hines proved his oratorical prowess. After a musical inter- lude by the band, Deane George-Adis and Kenneth Donovan delivered the Class Proph- ecy. Its unusual opening and — (who can tell?) — uncanny foresight rank it as one of the best ever. Next, Norman Cutler de- livered the Class Will, in which the class left everything, including some things it never possessed. An address by Francis R. Sweeney, ’20, Colonel in the United States Army, had been scheduled next. The Colonel, who had come to the Latin School on Friday, was unable to leave his Washington post again on Monday. Following a long-established tradition the Seniors rose and sang their Class Song, the words and music of which were written by John M. Hughes. Following this, they slowly filed out the center aisle, accompa- nied by the strains of Auld Lang Syne. Special credit must go to the Class Com- mittee, composed of Francis J. Collins, Chairman James J. McMorrow, Co-Chairman Matthew D. Branche, William J. Con- nor, Albert H. Crowley, Charles F. Field, Peter F. Hines, Gerald B. Kelley, Francis X. McLaughlin, John K. Meany, Robert J. Murphy, James W. O ’Neil, Edward L. O’Neill, Arthur N. Pernokas, Bertram Rod- man, Richard C. Semonian, Richard L. Sidman, James L. Trayers. Lest we forget, due mention should be made of the forgotten men — the ushers. Chief Usher was Richard B. Sullivan, assisted by his aide, Paul C. Haley. The ushers were: Capt. Warren A. Colson, Capt. Frank J. Finnegan, Capt. Paul A. Kennedy, Capt. Paul J. Stamatos, Capt. David Yarosh, Lieut. Alan R. Bush, Lieut. Theodore A. Coshnear, Lieut. Theodore P. Valias, Lieut. Joseph T. Vanderslice, Lieut. Stanley E. Jensen. Page Twenty -two Glass i Banquet An orgy of ticket selling and last minute preparation ushered in the first banquet ot the Class of ’45, held in the Monaco Room of the Hotel Lenox. For a few days pre- vious to May 10, the banquet date, it seemed doubtful that there would be any food at all. All apprehensions were dispelled, however, when the waiters brought in the main course, Lobster a la Newburg. After the one hundred guests had dis- posed of one hundred-twenty ice creams for dessert, our genial toastmaster, Lee J. Dunn, rose to introduce the speakers. The first was Mr. Pierce, who read let- ters from two boys in the Armed Forces, Class President Jim ' ' O ' Neil, and Bill” Shields. Both expressed deep sorrow at not being present, and their words reflected the thoughts of all the members of the class who are serving their nation in various parts of the earth. Mr. Levine then spoke of the intangible attractions which constantly turn a graduate ' s thoughts to his Alma Mater. He showed the importance of maintaining class unity in the years to come, and demonstrated that it is the duty of every member of the class to attend the banquets and reunions which serve to hold the group together. Acting through Secretary-Treasurer Mur- phy, the class then presented a gift to Mr. Fred P. H. Pike, retiring master, and Hon- orary Member of the Class of ’45. In a humorous, but sincere address, Mr. Pike ex- pressed his gratitude and avowed that he would rather be old than dead.” He has no intentions of remaining idle, however, and intends to follow the example of other masters who have retired in the past few years, and are still as young looking as the day they left B.L.S.” Thus the first of what will be a great many annual reunions came to a successful conclusion. Much of the credit belongs to the Banquet Committee, composed of Rob- ert Murphy, chairman, Matthew Branche, Francis Collins, Leo Foley, Gerald Kelley, John Kenny, James McMorrow, James O’Neil, Edward O’Neill, Arthur Quinn, Bertram Rodman, William Shields, Richard Sidman, Walter Spillane, and James Sulli- van. Page Twenty-three Trayers Concentrates Mass Formation Piano Duet A Few of the Boys Glass Oration Mr. President, most distinguished visitor, learned members of the faculty, my fellow classmates: it was almost six years ago that I sat here in this hallowed hall for the first time, and filled with various sentiments of awe, timidity, and determination, listened to those immortal Biblical words that are read each year by our headmaster at the opening Latin School exercises: Wisdom is the prin- cipal thing, therefore get wisdom and with all thy getting, get understanding.” Our presence today gives proof that to some small extent we have taken wisdom in the ways of books ; the years ahead will be stern and impartial judges of the measure of understanding and wisdom in the ways of men we have also attained. And as we sat here then, I wonder how many could foresee that the world surrounding us was shortly to crumble into the fiery abyss of bitter and bloody world war — a war from which, try as we did, America could not remain aloof? How many could see that an age deteriorated through misdirection and misuse of the gifts of life by the selfish and atheistic, was fast approaching its inexorable conclusion under the leadership of those nations which epito- mized then, and epitomize today, of that dis- graceful era, its every blindness, its every folly and cruelty, its consummate greed? It is pathetic and pitiful to reflect that there are youths of our age in every corner of the earth who would almost have given their right to Heaven to share the happiness and fun we have known here these past years. For us there was never any real fear that the walls protecting us from the elements might suddenly topple upon us; here we have known security of mind under the tender hands of our alma mater; no generation in the past in any country has known the com- plete freedom from fear, from want, from oppression, and freedom of religion that we have enjoyed. But posterity and mankind will demand its price: humanity will accept no excuses, if falling into the footsteps of our fathers, we accept not and fulfill not the duties which this titanic struggle has posed for us. War in all its deadly fury has crushed the spirit of that selfish, tyrannical, cynical world we knew six years ago, but it cannot crush the spirit that builds worlds anew; and it is given to our generation, to America’s youth, to be the architects and builders of a world so virile and so Chris- tianized that our sons may never have the triumph of their Class Days marred by fore- boding thoughts of the future that lie un- spoken in the darkest recesses of our hearts this afternoon. Sad but inevitable thoughts that make mockery of the youthful mirth of this our Class Day: that in the far regions of the universe, many of our number, in- cluding our distinguished Class President, have already joined the fray which most of us are shortly to enter. Ah, it is indeed pain- ful to consider that one of them or one of us seated here now, may never return to this life and land we all love so dearly — for which we w ' ill give our lives if duty so demands. And as the glad but sad day of Gradua- tion draws nigh, it gives us infinite pleasure, as it will so many times in later life, to un- lock the gates of our hearts and be engulfed in the veritable flood of happy memories that pour forth: Meminisse iuvat” - — how joyful it is to remember. In our ears still ring thunderous cheers of Thanksgiving Day crowds ; the voice of some would-be Demos- thenes at Public Dec”; soft music of prom orchestras ; the coach ' s whistle on the prac- tice field; the din of the lunchroom and the ear-splitting silence of the office; the flag flapping in the breeze at Prize Drill and the heavy tramp of marching feet at Street Pa- rade. And above all else, the sweet remem- brance of friendship among ourselves, the mutual experiences we have weathered and shared. These and many, many more will be our fond recollections conjured up whenever in the future we see some familiar face or hear some friendly voice hailing us — recol- lections of Latin School. The name of this school will ever remain for us a symbol and a link: a symbol of all that we cherished, en- joyed and strived to achieve in our youth, and a link that bridges the chasm between childhood and manhood. It is Latin School that has trained our minds for sound judgment; given to us a proper set of values and the secret of living and learning. The future alone is able to apply the test and discover whether or not we are good craftsmen and use to best ad- vantage these priceless tools with which Latin School has rewarded us in return for our all-too-small payment of industry and perseverance. It is no mean bargain we have attained, gentlemen. Let our gratitude to her be amply expressed in the living of clean wholesome lives with eternal Paradise as our ultimate goal ; let us live as good citi- zens in the nation so many of our older friends and brothers have already died to protect and preserve ; let us live forever faith- ful to the ideals of our nation, with charity Page Twenty-six for all peoples less fortunate than ourselves and with malice toward none; let us live, in short, as Latin School men have always lived: leaders in their community and country — whatever be their chosen field of endeavor or profession. For the world we live in, and the world we build for our offspring to grow up in, will only be as good or as bad as we are in personal life; it can be no better, and it will be no worse. It is no easily attained goal that is set for the Class Orator to leave his classmates with an ideal burning in their hearts; an in- spiration never to be forgotten. With this in mind, I would humbly reiterate the words of Oliver Wendell Holmes: And whether a man accepts from Fortune her spade and looking downward, will dig, or whether he accepts from Aspiration her axe and cord and looking upward, will scale the lofty ice, the one, the only success which it is his to command is to bring to his work a mighty heart.’’ And so it is, my fellow classmates, gone forever are the joyful, careless days of boy- hood and high school and in their place only We, the members of the Class of 1945, in the act of bursting our educational shackles, having been adjudged of sound body and mind, do hereby declare this docu- ment to be our last will and testament and herewith bestow these bequests upon the fol- lowing, whether they be willing or unwilling recipients: To our Alma Mater, now in her three hun- dred and tenth year, we leave the exalted in- signia of Supreme Marshal to be perpetually bestowed on those found worthy. To our learned Headmaster, Mr. Powers, we leave a new Class I, that should cause him less worry and trouble than we did, but will be, no doubt, far below the high standard we have set. To our esteemed classmate, Mr. Pike, sin- cere wishes for a long and happy life, un- marred by atrocious French translations and pronunciations. To Mr. Dunn, our genial librarian and adviser, we bequeath a portable loudspeaker system to broadcast his whereabouts. To Mr. Rosenthal, an air ventilation sys- tem. a world torn by death and destruction, na- tions clawing at each other’s throat, man’s incomparable inhumanity to man. The path before us is a long, long path and the way weary. Nevertheless, in such a world our works, though many and difficult, are mani- fest and clear: to conduct our daily lives so as to be worthy of everlasting life when the last breath of this one will have at long last escaped from our breasts; to carry on the war to final and unconditional victory ; to achieve and maintain a just and lasting peace with all nations; and last of all, to reach those pin- nacles of happiness, fame, and success to which we all aspire in the weaknesses of human nature. These then are OUR works, and the one, the only success which it is ours to command is to bring to these our works mighty, mighty hearts — the hearts of America’s proud youth wherein lies her only hope. Aye, mighty hearts; hearts refined with wisdom and tempered by understand- ing. Mighty hearts, minds, and souls, sol- emnly, fervently, sincerely dedicated now and forever, Deo et patriae’’ — to God and to country. Peter Francis Hines ’45 WtU To Mr. Carroll, a detective outfit — com- plete with badge, magnifying glass, and fin- gerprint set. To Mr. Marson, English themes and Reg- ister contributions which need no correc- tions. To Mr. Shea, a book on How To Cure Hams,” and a lock for the Assembly Hall. To Mr. Canned, a new knife with which to peel his apples. To Mr. Lucey, Burns’ brother. To Mr. Levine, a quiet, peaceful home- room period graced with the presence of thirty-six Seniors. To Mr. Gardner, an entire Class I taking Latin and Greek. To Mr. Wilbur, a new set of farm tools. To those who have been yet unable to break their shackles and are thus forced to remain, we l eave the following: To Class II, the status of Seniors, in 1945, raised to such glorious heights, and our com- missions as Marshals, in Commander Car- roll’s Culinary Cadets. To Class III, the art of going to every football game on one ticket. Page Twenty-seven � EPT.- THE MVtlAWH OCT.” ELECTIONS (frontdoor) TOU’LL BE SORRY. ECr Rlrt S,Dl f$, PICTURES. -NUP PET) JAN.

Page Twenty-nine Glass [Prophecy Ladies and Gentlemen: The graduating class of 1945 regrets to announce that there will be no Class Prophecy this year. For an entire year we have tried to secure a proper medium of prognostication, but we have found none. The war has delivered Latin School a great blow. Today we are unable to have a radio broadcast, as government regulations have curtailed programs; we have searched high and low for crystal balls, but there is a shortage; Ouija boards have been sold out; witches are dead; divining rods are extinct; fortune tellers are in jail. . . . There is no place where we can turn. . . . We did have one last hope, but that seems to have perished — ( Collaborator rushes onto stage from behind curtain.) Wait! I am here.” Phineas Fogg! We had given you up for lost.” I have been on my quest for a year. Now I have returned from the other side of the globe — with the boodle. The Prophecy?” The Prophecy!” The Prophecy.” ( Together , to audience.) Through the deserts and storms of Asia I traveled, by caravan and by foot, through the province of Tai-Yuen-Fu, the Kingdom of Chen-Yow, the city of Kan-Chu, through the mountains of Kao-Yee and the sands of Ki-Chee, until I came to the ancient lost city of Chel-Sea; and there, in a remote lamasery 1 came across the fourth-dimension crystal of Marco Polo and stepped through it. 1 was in the year 1965. . . . I walked through surrealistic down-town streets. Suddenly, a voice yelled, ’’Taxi,” and a helicopter swooped down. The sign on the door read: Berlinguet Helicopter Service, Boston ' s Finest.” Where to, Bud? I ' m looking up my classmates of . . . say — well, if it isn’t Reckless Bob’ Woolf. How did you get a license to drive again after your 1945 career? Cinch. The Kelly-Corcoran combine runs City Hall. They even bought my old Chevy.” Take me to the ’45 Club. We were up only one minute, E.S.T., when a shrill siren and the harsh voice of a motorcopter-cop made us pull over to a cloud. Where do you angels think you’re fly- ing?” Well — John Curran! I’m dropping in on the ’45 Club.” B.L.S. Rah, rah. Come on, I’ll escort you.” As we glided into the street, I glanced at a theatre marquee: The Colson and Gourzis Theatre. Today is Bank Day — $300 — You Can’t Take It With You”; also playing, Living the Life of Grossman ; starring Starr and Starsiak, and that likable lover, Lovinger. Directed by A. Sullivan; pro- duced by E. Sullivan; written by F. Sullivan; costumes by J. Sullivan; lyrics by R. Sul- livan ; from an original poem by Sandberg. On stage — in a meddlesome medley — those villains of stage, screen, and radio: Saxe, Singer, and A. B. Sullivan. Beside the theatre was a huge billboard, by Cavanaugh Dood It, Sign Co., advertising the Valias Dainty Donut Shop, the Vazakas Fruit Stand, and the Fotos Photo Studio. (Valias was the inventor of the Dryless, Dunkable, Digestible Donut with not one, not two, but three large gaping holes.) The gigantic sign read: On hot days, drink Thursby and Swett’s Root Beer. Nearby, another signboard straddling the roofs of the Coca Cole Plant, the Gulo Glue and Jello Factory, and the Dawson brewery, read: Don’t do it ! Drink Healthy Lipson’s Tea.” Arriving at the ’45 Club, I was greeted by a genial host, Mr. Matthew Branche, and escorted inside. Lounging in a chair was plump, indifferent Mr. Dreben, who long ago had solved the question, What this country needs is a good five-cent cigar. He was smoking a pipe. Squatting on a stool was lean, phlegmatic O’Keefe, who dropped on hands and knees, and begged multimil- lionaire John Kenney for a dollar and fifteen cents for a cup of coffee — he wanted to drink it at the baseball game. Asking Kenney why he donated millions to such worthless causes and not to educational institutions, I overheard his flat, dignified response to O’Keefe: I like him, he’s silly. In an- other corner was Siegal, America’s most suc- cessful businessman — self-made by a simple scheme: instituting the Post-War Siegal Spuckie in High School lunchrooms all over the country. In the center of the room was one of the Club’s newest acquisitions — an aquarium, featuring the weird creature found by Prof. Katz on an expedition — the eight- legged Ostoposides. I went up to a man pointed out as head- master of Latin School. It was Kennedy. He asked, How about taking in a night club? The new, super-duper deluxe Caso Manana. Or maybe you’d like the wrestling matches — the new masked opponents ' The Page Thirty Fox’ vs. The Wolf’. ' ' At that moment Goldsmith, the successful journalist, came in. I glady bought a newspaper from him. It was the Boruchoff Bugle.” The headlines blared: ” Dutchy’ Holland New Symbol of the ' Lily White League.’ ” I learned much from the inside pages. The Masters Russo Opera Company had taken over Boston Garden, which had just sheltered the Fitzgerald Flea Circus — it was run out of town because it was getting in the people’s hair. The great impresarios were presenting a new opera ' Two Gentle- men of Verona: Giardello and Quaglieri”; or, A Barber Pole Grows in Roxbury.” Baby-Face” Glennon and Six-Gun” Vanderslice had been apprehended, and the missing subway-station Orbit gum machines replaced. Prof. Bernard, LL.B., B.A., L.S.M.F.T., formerly with the Monotonous Mavgie School of Elocution, had just published his book, Roman Rubble,” a translation of Caesar, Cicero, Ovid, and Virgil The ten-year presidential campaign of Plain” Joe Richards has terminated with great success under his powerful manager, Cornelius Coughlin. Without doubt, Rich- ards will be our next president ... of Tid- dleywinks, Inc. Bert Rodman, former fifth Vice-President of Garbage Man ' s Local No. 2222, has ac- cepted a position as second Vice-President at Svensson Downs Race Track. He was quite familiar with race tracks from his Latin School career. Disgusted, I turned on the radio. This is Harry Von Finks, your announcer, with just another reminder that Television will be introduced any year now, since the project has been placed in Finnegan’s hands. Donavan, the retarder, has been ousted. And now, a request performance of the overture sweeping the country, composed by Yarosh the Great, that new concerto. Bill the Squeeler,’ otherwise known as William Tell.’ Wait! Flash: We have just re- ceived word about the latest expedition of the intrepid Prof. Katz into the heart of West Roxbury. He visited the cannibals to get the inside dope, but the cannibals got the dope’s insides. . . . Workers at the McLaughlin Amalgamated Chewing Gum Company have gone on strike. They object to the Chew as you go’ policy . . . which has been stuck on them for ten months. Flash: Sidman, Glazer, and Kaden, owners of the Shindler Mfg. Co., have been apprehended. They are charged with being promoters of Dr. Miller’s All- Around Miracle Tonic, a drug guaranteed to build flesh and bone, dissolves the flesh and hair when used as a hair tonic, and disintegrates the teeth when used as a den- tifrice — also good for washing dishes and bathing the baby. Do you feel blue when you ' re in the pink? Does your cigarette taste the same lately? What you need is Dr. Semonian’s Chapstick. Remember — Chapstick spelled backwards is Kitspach — which means! — Nothing. Flash: Branche, Bush and Berry, Co-Chairmen of the National Rhodo- dendron Society, have pressed suit against author Smith for his new book, detrimental to the encouragement of cultivation of plant life in America, — ' A Tree Grows in Bed- ingfeld ' s Back Yard.’ We regret that Jerry Avergun’s Band, with the theme song Please Let Him Aver- gun’ will not be heard at this time in order that we may bring you a special program from the Capitol. . . . After six months of red-hot wrangling, with the aid of Senator J. J. Collins and Congressman Burns, Con- gress has passed a bill to make West Rox- bury part of the Union ' Now, under the sponsorship of Hines Soup, that new, improved Sluppy, Spoonless beverage which you drink from a perforated can, we bring the Indianapolis Stringless Or- chestra, under the direction of Leopold Kasowski. Tonight’s presentation: Peter- kofsky and the Wolf, composed by Michael Strogoff. Wait! Flash: The program has been cancelled as the entire audience left the Slade Symphony Hall for Mulhall Hall, where Lurie, The Voice,’ has arrived by suprise to sing the nation’s hit, Turalura LURIE.’ Do you need money? Then go at once to the Fay, Finn, Fingerman, and Flannery Loan Company. Get your name on our waiting list, and well take care of you. Our money is as good as the paper we print it on. Remember — you can get as much as 4 G s from the 4 F’s. Do you need real money? Then come to the O’Neil and Murphy Loan Company, the company with the unbelievable policy: no money, no property, no security neces- sary. Murphy is O’Neil’s right-hand man. When you pay up your loan, Murphy gives back your right hand. Delicious, wholesome, chewey, and fooey are just the words for our new candy crea- tion — ' Footsie Rolls,’ made by the Karas Kandy Kompany, the sanitary factory. . . . Our candy is untouched by human hand. . . . We roll it around with our feet. Are you buying a new car this spring? Then buy the sensational, newly-invented, light-as-a-feather car, the new Capobianco Comet,’ built by Robertson the Mechanic. Page Thirty -one It has the new chromium body — chrome fenders, chrome bumpers, chrome running boards, — in fact, it ' s the chromiest car on the market. ' ’ Now it behooves us, as it has never before behooven us, to bid you all Farewell with our warning: Don ' t let all this happen to you.

Through the years teams un- der Coach Charlie” Fitzgerald have always set a high standard for their successors. This year’s team, although it lost to its ancient rival English, was able to meet the test. We cheered when Dorchester went down, 6-2, as a result of the classic running of Walter Harwood in his own end zone . . . hailed the victory over Commerce when Franny” Collins shone . . . groaned at our defeat at the hands of B. C. High ... re- joiced at the smashing victory over Memo- rial, as Bill” Shields starred . . . were thrilled with the story-book finish of the St. Mark’s game as Bert Rodman repeatedly smeared the opposition . . . and wept over Second Down, Six to Go Defensive Giant the defeat at the hands of the boys from Montgomery Street. Much credit is due our scat-back Captain Walter Harwood ( the greatest back I ever coached” — Fitzgerald) for his indispensable efforts. The educated toe and trusty right arm of Jim” McMorrow proved to be the difference between a fair and a good season. Dick” Semonian and Fran” Collins ran opposing linesmen ragged all season. The scythe-like blocking of Jim” O’Neil and Bob” Murphy were other key assignments Page Ninety-six The Line of Most Resistance in the Purple attack. Shields and Rodman on the flanks cleaved the way for their more publicized backfield colleagues. Let us also remember the second stringers and the subs that make a first team possible. Theirs is the hardest job — with not even a hope of recog- nition. This year ' s team will be wiped out by graduation. The whole line, from end to end, and the entire starting backfield will receive their diplomas. It is up to those members of the squad who are returning and to the lower classes to fill the gaps and keep Latin near the top of the high school heap.

Victorious in all but two of its fifteen Boston Conference games, the boys lived up to expectations. Our squad, under the competent guidance of Coach Steve” Patten, convinced every one that the Purple and White had a quintet of championship power. In years to come we shall remember how we cheered the victory over Roslindale in which Bert” Rodman scored twenty-five points . . . the comeback the Purple and White made in the Memorial tilt . . . the win over Charlestown, as Capt.

But we wept and wailed when the Blue and Blue beat us with but a second and a half to the game . . . Capt. Bob” Woolf, a magnificent player all season long (high-scorer of the team), was the bulwark in the English game, when he scored fourteen points and contributed to that immortal fourth period which almost beat the Blue and Blue. Bert’ Rodman, hold- ing down the other forward slot, was well known in the league for his pugnacious play and his accurate center shots. Stringbean Joe” Vanderslice was generally considered the best defenseman in the Conference. Prince Hurd, a tall center, was known for his fast and accurate passing. Fifth man of the starting quintet was Sophomore Jim” Savage, a tall defenseman, who, together Off the Boards Page Ninety-eight with his upper-classman Vander”, con- trolled the backboard while the more pub- licized forwards scored many points. Out- standing substitutes were Jim’ ' O ' Neal (next year’s captain) and Nat” Jones.

Al- though they were greatly handicapped during nost of the season by ineligibilities and boys leaving for college, the Latins refused to be counted out and never yielded until the final bell had resounded. The hockey team was led this year by Cap- tain John Kenney and Jim McMorrow. McMorrow, besides being a stellar hockey player, was also outstanding in other sports. He will long be remembered for his in- credible feats as a leader of Latin ' s eleven. Aiding these boys on the front line were Charlie Connors, Jim McHugh, and John Meaney. This trio formed a fast-skat- ing line, and their stick-handling and shoot- ing ability afforded the opposition much trouble. Sullivan and Phinn formed the defense; and if, by any chance, an opponent sifted through the defense, he still had to beat Al” Bauer, the man behind the men. These boys were considered the first- stringers.” However, the line of demarca- tion between first- and second-stringers is not so clearly drawn in hockey as in most sports, and much credit is due to Latin spares.

Jouncin’ Jim” Page Hundred fClCR Although the Purple and White track- sters have not in recent years claimed the best team in the city they have established a reputation for always contributing some of the city’s outstanding athletes. This year was no exception as Latin finished third in the annual Regimental track meet, bowing only to English and Technical. The crowning achievement of the season was Latin ' s winning third place in the State meet behind ever-powerful Newton and Malden. Matt” Branche led the Latins with a first place both in the hurdles and high jump. Although there were very few track meets during the season, several performers outshone the rest. Without doubt Matt Branche was the outstanding man on the Latin squad. Running the 50-yard hurdles and entering the high jump, he captured first place in every meet in which he competed. Warren Colson, who ran the 50-yard dash, was certainly the fastest member of the team in the short distances. Dave” Gilbert was almost invincible in the Class C hurdles, equalling the record of 6.6 seconds in the Reggies.” Behind its record-breakers, the Purple and White boasted many other stars: Tom” Jackson, a brilliant 600-yarder; Dick” Curran, winner of the Reggie C 440; Gerald Diamond and Ed Schlosberg, Class D stars; and Dempsey, Sager, Greeley, Aron- son, Lazarus, Murphy, and many others who contributed to a great season.

They’re Off! Page Hundred and One aseoci As the season progresses, little can be re- ported of the fortunes of the Purple and White nine, but possibilities of capturing a City Conference Championship loom bright. When the call for baseball candi- dates was issued in March, approximately one hundred fifty would-be stars reported to Coach Fitzgerald. Since the only eligible lettermen were Captain Dutchy” Holland, Bill Glennon, and Eddie O ' Neil, the Coach was fortunate in being blessed with a squa d of new hopefuls, who show much promise. The mound assignments are filled by Lefty Kenney of football and hockey re- nown and Dave” Gilbert, a junior. On the receiving end of the battery is Prince Hurd, a capable catcher. In the infield we find Delang and Dawson fighting it out for first, with Powell, Glennon, and Bergman rounding out the all-important infield. In the outer gardens Latin is fortunate in hav- ing ample material; but Dutch Holland, John Meaney, Bill Greeley, and Ted Coshnear are the outstanding candidates at present. Gerald Vogel and Rocky Stone are this year ' s capable managers. In the two games to date, the Latins have emerged victorious, winning the opener be- hind the four-hit pitching of Dave” Gil- bert and annexing the second with Lefty” Kenney toeing the mound. The hitting has been a little weak, but the Purple and White batters and tossers have begun to iron out their difficulties and should be in full stride for the remaining games.

Wiseman The Purple and White tennis team this year promises to have the most successful season in its history. Led by Co-captains Matt Branche and Bert Rodman, who should be seeded one-two for individual honors in the state playoffs and also boasting the return of two other lettermen, Sidman and Strogoff, the Latins should uphold their high tradition on a difficult seven-match schedule, besides the several all-state tour- naments. Among their opponents are Phil- lips Exeter Academy, Belmont, Newton, Brookline, Huntington Prep., Winchester, and Roxbury Latin.

(PuU, tcations ca visers The purpose of an adviser is to guide policies and restrain the wild impulses of student editors. Messrs. Dunn, Marson, and Gordon have admirably carried out both these functions. The Yearbook is the pet problem of Mr. Dunn. His years of experience have proven invaluable to this year’s staff. It is difficult to conceive of editing a yearbook without his advice and assurance. Mr. Philip Marson The Register is handled by Mr. Marson. H is task is to accept or reject all written material and to proof-read the magazine. Foresight, sympathy, and a willingness to let the staff carry out its own ideas (within reason), are his principal attributes. Mr. Gordon’s Function is to watch the bank-account. He collects the cash from the Register room agents, and makes sure that bills are paid for. To him we are thank- ful for the fact that the books balance at the close of the year. Mr. Aaron Gordon Mr. Lee J. Dunn Page Hundred and Six Richard Sidman Chairman Alan Bush Alfred Strogoff Deane George-Adis Arnold Goldsmith Committee This page is reserved for the boys who have labored to make Liber Actorum, 1945, the finest ever. The work is divided into three main classes: (1) Planning the layout, (2) Assembling the written material, (3) Gathering money. The first phase, which involves all the photogra- phy, was ably taken care of by Bush. Proof lies in the more than sixty candid shots which adorn this book. The sports section was written by Strogoff, while George-Adis and Goldsmith gathered senior and club write-ups. The financial and circulation angle was ably cared for by Yarosh, Karas and Burns. The entire enterprise was cor- related by Sidman. In addition, there are members of the Register staff who have assisted by carrying out the mani- fold minor tasks which inevitably occur. Those who de- serve mention are David Wolf, Robert Stiller, Stanley Fox, David Berry, Alfred Sullivan, and Herbert Goldings. David Yarosh Charles Karas Donal Burns [Register Last September, certain things happened which instantly pointed towards a successful year for the Register. The newly-appointed Executive Board began to ask its friends for literary contributions. At the same time, an ambitious, but naive staff sets its sights at 95% subscription and forty pages of adver- tising for the year. To the amazement of everyone concerned, both literary and finan- cial requirements have been met. Bolstered by the early successes the editors decided upon some improvements. Since they had not yet learned to appreciate the better types of literature, the members of the Executive Board had never been able to enjoy the Register. This year the situation was helped by adding pictures and drawings for the benefit of those who don’t read. Then the Lords and Masters page was reinstated, so that in fifty years we might say to our grandchildren, Now, this nice man gave me a 90 ; that very genial man gave me a 75 ; this very, very kind man gave me a 60 ; and that extraordinary , may he rest in peace.” There was also a reason for the ex- ceptionally large issues this year. Because of war conditions, the magazine was printed on much thinner paper. Our 36- and 40-page issues were no thicker than the 28-page copies of a few years ago. If we printed a 28-page issue now, it would be almost in- visible. In spite of our dreams and schemes, we realize that the sixty-fourth edition of the Register is neither radically different from, nor particularly better than its predecessors. Not being the modest type, we feel that the first traces of an improvement have been made, and take consolation in Plato’s state- ment that the beginning is the most impor- tant part of the work.” Page Hundred and Eight Page Hundred and Nine Second Row: Berry, Stiller, Karas, Goldsmith, Sidman, George-Adis, Yarosh, Strogoff, Fox, Burns.

Officers President — David Wolf Vice-President — Deane George- Adis Secretary — Edward Chandler After discontinuance for one year, the Art Club was revived and carried through a successful season under Mr. Brickley’s di- rection. Though the group was handicapped by wartime exigencies, it managed to move along on its own. Work undertaken at meetings consisted of model, portrait, and still-life drawing, through the medium of pencil, charcoal, or crayon ; water color and poster point assignments; practise in block- ing and shading, perspective and composi- tion. The sizable group of Seniors gave lectures, personal tricks-of-the-trade, and constructive criticism for the benefit of the many lower classmen. Aspects of art, both subject-matter, and method, were ably dis- cussed by specialists: for cartooning, pen-and- ink drawing, and linoleum cutting — George - Adis; drafting and blocking — Wolf; animal anatomy and drawing — Katz. Working thus, hand in hand, one with the other, the junior Rembrandts gained valuable experience and turned out abun- dant and excellent material for library ex- hibitions, the M.S.P.C.A. Poster Contest, The Register, and advertisements of school productions. Page Hundred and Ten Camera A shortage of film, enlarging paper, and money were not enough to prevent the Cam- era Club from enjoying an interesting season. Meetings were devoted to lectures and dem- onstrations. The keynote was variety, with re- touching, copying, advanced enlargement, and artistic composition among the subjects. Wartime shortages of equipment pre- vented the club from accomplishing much outside work, but Goldings and Bush made up for this lack by means of demonstrations of photoflash and photoflood photography and of elementary processing. Two other activities engaged the interest of members: (1) preparing the vast amount of photographic material which adorns this Year Book; and (2) reviving the Salon, which had not been held in three years. These accomplishments, plus the highly suc- cessful weekly meetings, show that it takes more than wartime difficulties to quench the desire for knowledge and improvement among Latin School ' s cameramen. Officers President — Alan R. Bush Vice-President — William Trayes Secretary — Herbert Goldings Treasurer — Leonard Radlo Faculty Advisers Mr. Francis Carroll Mr. Benjamin Scully Page Hundred and Eleven Gk jess Stimulated by a membership drive which increased the enrollment from thirteen to almost fifty, the Chess Club enjoyed a highly successful year. Under the able supervi- sion of Mr. McGuthn, weekly meetings were held. By means of intra-club tourna- ments, the members increased their skill, and selected their team. In addition to playing the other members of the Greater Boston Chess League — Brook- line High and Cambridge Latin — the team engaged successfully in matches with the pawn-pushers of English High, Roxbury Memorial, and Milton High. Outstanding players were Leo Boruchoff, Dick ' ’ Mas- ters, Burt Dreben, Marty Finks, and Jack” Wohwill. The prospects for next year look bright, with Harold Hominoff, Warren Cikins, and Edwin Masters as officers for 1946. Mr. McGuffin Wins!

Sullivan Secretary — E. P. Kelly Serge ant -at -Arms — J. E. J. Richards At no time in the past has the Debating Club been more active and argumentative. The immense problems of war, coming peace, and post-war conscription provided much ground for discussion. The Club en- gaged in numerous formal and informal de- bates with several high schools and with Boston College. Hines, Sullivan, Kelly, and Richards distinguished themselves by out- standing performances in interscholastic pro- grams and in upholding the reputation of both Club and School. The crowning achievement was the intro- duction of Town Meeting discussions into the school program. Each of six assemblies, attended by two classes at a time, began with formal arguments: three members of the Club upholding the affirmative and three the negative sides of the issue under debate. Then the moderator declared the forum open, and members of the audience were permitted to ask a question of any one of the six speak- ers. Intelligent interest on the part of the student body marked these open forums. Dr. Marnell’s concluding observations and sum- mary became a popular highlight. The Club’s bi-weekly meetings featured this type of de- bate. Thanks to our genial director, Dr. John E. Collins, and four able, determined officers, the Debating Club has risen to new heights. Active debaters, in addition to officers, have included H. W. Corcoran, O. N. MacLeod, B. J. MacGovern, D. M. Burns, N. Cohen, T. M. Coyne, J. J. Doyle, W. J. Cronin, and P. A. Kennedy. So I Sez . . . Page Hundred and Thirteen 7 ) ra mattes eu The year 1945 contributed greatly to the fame of Latin School thespians. Ably di- rected by Messrs. Russo, Callanan, and Marnell, the Club successfully staged two productions which live up to its great tradi- tion and reputation. The first was a pageant entitled, His Truth Marches On,” written, produced, and directed by Peter F. Hines. It was presented both on the radio and at the annual Wash- ington-Lincoln Day exercises. The cast included the following: Narrator Peter F. Hines ’45 George Washington Francis Finnegan ’45 Abraham Lincoln Oliver N. McLeod ’45 General Eisenhower William Cronin ’46 Announcer Thomas J.

Much credit is due also to the unseen and unheralded toilers behind the scenes — the stage crew headed by Paul Kennedy, produc- tion manager; Dave” Reardon, scenic man- ager; Jim” Gourzis, property manager; Warren Colson, stage manager; Bob” Tomasello, electrician; Dick” Lyons, and Irwin Zonis. Then in May the Club concluded its hard work with the production of a Charlie Chan mystery, The House Without a Key, which justly deserved the praise showered on it from the standing room only” audience.

Sullivan Secretary — Henry Smith Faculty Adviser Mr. Max Levine Allons enfants . . Under the diligent guidance of Mr. Levine, the French Club experienced one of its best seasons. Phonograph recordings, magazine and newspaper articles, joke books, poems, lectures, and map studies served to acquaint the boys with the lan- guage and customs of France. As usual, the Club had perfect attendance, in accordance with its strict policies, and more than suc- ceeded in maintaining the hi tjh level which has distinguished Le Cercle Francais. With a special map of France, the Presi- dent gave a lecture on the geography and economics of the country, and a talk on the battle of Waterloo. Henry Smith’s excellent reports set a precedent for future secretaries. Fisenstadt and Cohen delivered weekly talks on current events. All members were active participants and have profited greatly by their work. The boys extend their heartfelt thanks to Mr. Levine for his conscientious labor throughout the year, in presenting a weekly program of interesting and educational con- tent. Page Hundred and Sixteen Qlee Prior to 1940 it was a custom of the Glee Club to provide each year, for the entertain- ment of the student body, a musical produc- tion. This practice has been abandoned, however. Now, the function of the Glee Club is to provide vocal accompaniment at the holiday exercises. The Club is under the direction of Mr. T. Francis Burke, Assistant Director of Music, Boston Public Schools. Hit That High Note! Officers President — Robert L. Chaput Vice-President — Matthew D. Branche Secretary — Arthur J.

Mahan This year the members of the Highway Safety Club have enjoyed the most success- ful season in the eleven-year history of the Club. The attendance, the largest ever, proved beyond doubt that students of Latin School are interested in acquiring a knowl- edge of safety rules. Several speakers, well versed in safety education, delivered interesting talks on de- fensive driving, safety regulations, and re- quirements of a good driver. All talks were followed by open forum sessions, which greatly stimulated interest in the meetings. During the year several pamphlets and a text book entitled Man and the Motor Car were distributed among members. In April, certificates were awarded to those boys who passed the highway regulation test Eventually — Why Not Now? given by the Registry of Motor Vehicles. The Club is grateful to Mr. Mahan for his effective work in directing the year’s activities. Page Hundred and Eighteen President — Thomas W. Buckley Secretary — Robert Crowley Vice-President — John Young Treasurer — Morton Kliman Faculty Adviser — Thomas F. Mahan Say It with Flowers” For the first time in the history of the school, a Horticultural Club has been formed. Under the direction of Mr. Thomas F. Mahan, faculty adviser, an enthusiastic group of sixty boys has met since early March and made plans for active participa- tion in the Victory Garden movement of this war year. Speakers prominent in the field of agri- culture have addressed the meetings, and excellent films on the raising of vegetables have been shown. Several members are actively engaged in a prize contest sponsored by the National Victory Garden Institute of America. Re- sults will be made known in the fall of 1945. Our adviser, Mr. Mahan, is assistant di- rector of the Boston Victory Garden Cam- paign of 1945. Page Hundred and Nineteen JLite retry Continuing its policy of supplementing the School English course with material which cannot be covered in class, the Liter- ary Club enjoyed another successful season. At each meeting, a talk on a famous book or author was delivered. Among the subjects were Swift ' s Gulliver ' s Travels,” Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales,” and the lives and works of Frank Stockton and Sinclair Lewis. Dr. Callanan, faculty adviser, provided illuminat- ing comments after each talk, and also deliv- ered an excellent review of Gabriel Cal- loway,” by Mary Lavin, which is currently appearing in the Atlantic Monthly. To pro- vide a mid-season diversion, the club was treated to a recording of Julius Caesar. In addition to the talks, frequent literary quizzes were held. This form of intellectual exercise proved popular. As a corollary to Poe ' s Gold Bug,” the solving of a crypto- gram was successfully attempted at one meet- ing, and continued at subsequent gatherings.

Finn The three aims of the Music Appreciation Club are, first, as the club’s name implies, to develop an ' appreciation of good music; sec- ond, to keep the members informed about current musical events ; third, to provide an opportunity for enjoying this form of recre- ation during school hours. Representative selections from all phases of the classics have been performed on rec- ords at the weekly meetings. Beethoven and Brahms were supplemented with the modern masters, Prokoffief and Shostakovich. Occa- sionally, the popular field, as represented by Arty Shaw and Danny Kaye, was invaded. A series of talks on current and classical music was delivered by David Yarosh, Mel- vin Saxe, David Caplan, and Burton Dreben. Before the end of the year, the club is scheduled to enjoy a concert by its own gifted musicians. In addition, there is to be a visit to Symphony Hall during the Pops” season, which is under the direction of Ar- thur Fiedler, an old Latin School boy. The Music Appreciation Club is extremely grateful to Mr. Julius G. Finn for his master- ful leadership and advice during the current year. Page Hundred and Twenty-one (drckestra Secretary — Jerome H. Avergun The Latin School Orchestra has completed a successful season under the able leadership of our director, Mr. Trongone. During the year, the orchestra has performed at several school functions and has done very well indeed. Although many veterans had been lost through graduation, the orchestra reached its usual high standards. Members were eager to learn techniques from Mr. Tron- gone and responded effectively. In spite of the fact that many hours were necessarily spent in rehearsing, the musically- minded members of the school were eager for the chance to master their instruments for the chance to master their instrument and appreciate the language of all peo- ples.” Paqe Hundred and Twenty-two an 2 rum and dduqle (3orps Page Hundred and Twenty-three ENRICH YOUR LIFE . . .
