Invaluable knowl- edge, indelibly impressed upon each of you while under my wings, will serve you well as you earn your place in society. Graduates, fortified with wisdom, seek higher education and build upon the strong foundation of Boston Latin School an enviable structure of learning, which must inevitably inure to the benefit of advancing civili- zation and serve as a source of pride to me, your Alma Mater. You cross the threshold to enter a world torn asunder and chaotic. All the , product of barbarism in an allegedly advanced civilization! It is for you to grasp the Torch of Knowledge from these ruins, and strengthened, fortified, and encouraged by the wisdom imparted to you, to carry forward, to eternity, unquenched that Torch of Knowledge! Be not dismayed nor dissuaded from your goal. Boston Latin School enjoins you to perpetuate its traditional standards and principles. Endless are the oppor- tunities offered you, in the new era unfolding! You have witnessed but the infancy of science and the arts. Materialism alone is no goal. Spirituality is an essential requisite to your advancement and peace of mind. I shall watch your progress. Godspeed to you, and may the voyage on which you are about to embark end in success. Your Alma Mater Page Six PROLOGUE The school year 1946-1947 smiled beneficently upon Boston Latin School and bestowed upon her the bountiful gift of the Graduating Class of ’47. Though the smallest in numbers for years, its members received, individually and collectively, the highest honors in many fields of endeavor. Athletic championships, literary awards, and national scholarships are but a few of its attainments. Its ingenuity and resourcefulness have originated the novel Red Cross Assembly, brought for the first time in the school ' s history the “Medalist Award” to the Register, drawn a widely, wildly acclaimed Class Will and Prophecy, maintained the high stan- dards of the school, and proudly added a wealth of achievement to the three centuries and twelve years of Boston Latin School’s life. It is therefore fitting that the 1947 Liber Actorum should serve as a ready reference to the many memories and reminiscences of our days at B.L.S., and as a monument of appreciation to our Lords and Masters, who patiently and arduously moulded the infancy of our careers. We record for ourselves and posterity the divers acts, deeds, attainments, and awards earned by the Graduating Class. A novel and appropriate style is resorted to in presenting our Year Book, in that an element of coherence is adopted. The theme opens with Alma Mater address- ing words of encouraging advice and opening vistas of opportunities. Continuity is carried through by five characters: Zeus, King of Gods, representing the Faculty, our Administration; Athena, Goddess of Wisdom, and thus naturally depicting the Seniors; Winged Victory, connoting our various victories and Activities; Disco- bolus, symbolizing all Athletics; and finally Apollo, “secretary” to Zeus, typifying Organizations. The editor has earnestly endeavored to have Liber Actorum adequately and vividly portray our scholastic life, to enable each of us to relive the same, in juturo, and to recall the days spent as a happy, carefree group at Boston Latin School.

ADMINISTRATION JOSEPH L. POWERS, Headmaster Page T irel re A MESSAGE FROM THE HEAD MASTER During the war years my Year Book message was addressed to boys who knew they were about to enter the armed forces and understood that their education was to be interrupted for an indefinite period and perhaps brought to a tragic end. The plans which they had made for college and for their future careers had to be suspended, at the best; and no boy could tell what lav ahead of him. We know with how splen- did a spirit those boys accepted the situation and offered their futures — in so many cases, their lives — to the defence of our country. Thank God, you are not called upon to make such a sacrifice. You can make your plans without any foreboding that they will suffer such dislocations as your elder brothers had to face. As the representatives of the nations meet in conference, we hope and pray that they may work out some arrangement which will ensure a lasting peace in the world. At any rate, please God, the probability of war seems remote at present; so you will doubtless be able to complete your education without interruption. This does not mean that you have no problems to solve. There is the immediate one of admission to college, and you all realize the seriousness of that problem. With civilian admissions limited because of the operation of the G. I. Bill, a high-school graduate’s chances are poor unless his scholastic performance and his personality record are high. That situation is likely to ease off somewhat after a few years; but just now it is apt to mean rejection, and post-graduate work, for boys with merely passing records. There is one interruption which may affect all secondary-school graduates. I refer to the possibility that the Congress may vote for universal military training. This would mean that a graduate would have to spend at least a year in training, either following his graduation from school or within the next four years. He would probably be allowed to choose his time of service; and each boy would have to settle that question according to his own plans- bearing in mind that much may happen in four or five years’ time. I think it is fair to say that the boys of Class I will, in all probability, be able to finish their college education without disturbance and should make their plans on that basis. Incidentally, they should pass the word along to the oncoming classes, that admission to college is harder to gain than it used to be. The Head Master and the Faculty extend sincere good wishes to you boys of 1947, and trust that you may prosper in college and in all your undertakings.

As the day of our graduation draws near, it brings with it a day of strange meaning — a day, which, in itself, is paradoxical — a day of elation and joy, and yet one of dejection and sorrow. It stands as the link between two periods of our lives, and as we look back we cannot but feel joy at our various experiences in Latin School with its happiness and sadness, its tasks and warm friendships, its competitions and ambitions in the classroom, in athletics, in declamation, in debating, in dramatics, and in music. And then again, we cannot help feeling mournful at the thought of depart- ing. There is, however, one thought which ought to be most prevalent in our minds; that is forgetting the sadness of the present day and looking forward to a brighter future. The influence of our Latin School days has impressed upon our minds and has instilled in our hearts the traditional Latin School principles, which have become synonymous with the guiding beacons of our lives. They have formed our very characters and have molded our very fates. The road of life lies ahead of us. Some of us will go off to college; others to work; and still others, to the armed forces. But wherever we may go, we have life to test us. Only one of the highest endeavor can compensate for the debt we owe to the Latin School. As we go forth from this institution into the Babel-like universe where our status among humanity is to be determined, our school beckons us to carry on the line of progress into the future and to advance with confidence. The oppor- tunities for a classical education that have been extended us in the six or four seem- ingly long, but actually short, years just passed are the seeds that will germinate and mature into accomplishments. Our mental, moral, and physical capabilities are just blossoming. One of the things we have learned at the Latin School is to know no go al short of perfection. As the future calls to us, let us go forward with fearless fortitude and let us always remember “Finis opus coronat.” — “The end crowns the work.” The influence of our education at B.L.S. has become a vital nower within us which will spur us to sublime actions, raise our souls, and urge us on, as it has urged on the countless Latin School graduates be- fore us. Our country needs encouragement Non scholae sed vitae” and enthusiasm in these most critical post- war reconstruction times, in these times of a “war of nerves”, in these times when thinking men are needed more than they were ever needed before. Who is there but her youth, fresh from the temples of learning, who are to be the leaders of to- morrow and the architects of the world? The potent power of a Latin School educa- tion was intended to prepare us for the work of men. The talents of which we are now possessors are for the service of all humanity. As B.L.S. graduates, we are under a sacred obligation of duty that permits us no halting-place except per- fection and the best use of the golden opportunities God has granted us. It is out of the endless human experi- ences of this famous old Latin School; it is out of the manner in which this institu- tion has been the scene of so much human energy for more than three centuries; of dreads and aspirations; of doubts and fears; of trials and tribulations; of soli- tudes and associations; of acquiring of faith and of losing of faith; of temptations and joys; of victories and despondencies — it is out of all this that, hanging like an immense cloud, rising in the form of a va por, the long history of our famous school and its generation of famed men gradually and mysteriously but finally very lucidly, presents itself as a sublime crea- ture which we call the Latin School, with V.igr Seveny-iwo human characteristics and abilities, with eyes to smile or express disapprobation; with a countenance to command or re- proach us, with a determination to rule us and impress standards upon us for life. We go sorrowfully forth from this hal- lowed hall and these well-known scenes. We are severing, perhaps forever, the sac- red cords that bound us to one another and to the school, which has been our guide and protector throughout the past six or four years. We wish to thank Dr. Powers and the members of the faculty for their constant guidance during our stay here; we regret most keenly that many duties may not have been done well or correctly, that great opportunities have been neglect- ed, and have slipped away into the irre- vocable Past. Rut the principles we have learned here will never pass away — they will never die, for they were non scholae sed vitae “not for school but for life.” John E. Rexine, ’47 CLASS PROPHECY Announcer: Ladies and gentlemen, we now present the hair-raising story of a man who has traveled into time. We have here tonight Dr. Mulhern, who has just returned from a visit to 1967. He will tell you of his experiences. Mulhern: Thank you. This horrible tale began last night when I ventured into the home of Professor R. Sumner Kel- son, where I had heard there was some mysterious invention to be found. 1 pried open a window and found myself in the professor’s laboratory. Before I could in- vestigate further, the lights snapp ed on; and there stood the professor himself, a mad glint in his eye. His two stalwart assistants, Bela Cahill and Boris Corman. followed him, each with a gun in hand. In 1967 . . “So?” shouted Prof. Belson, “You have come to steal my invention, eh? Well, you may have the pleasure of being the first to test it!” At this the professor drew back a curtain and revealed a huge appara- tus in the shape of a boot. “Heh, heh!” cackled the professor. “ ' Phis is my time machine, which can transport you into the future. Get inside!” He pressed a button, and a door opened in the side of the boot. Once I was inside, he turned a dial; electric wires began to flash; and suddenly I began to feel sleepy . . . sleepy . . . (yawn). . . . My sleep was interrupted by a rough hand jostling my shoulder, and I was pull- ed to my feet by a brawny officer look- ing suspiciously like Leo Kelly, who tried to arrest me for vagrancy. When I re- sisted, he blew a whistle; and six police- men —Casey, Cadigan, Hennessy, McGilli- cuddy, Mulcahy, and Silberberg came running. After they had hustled me into a squad car, I was driven to headquarters. As we drove, the police radio blared: “Calling Car 25; calling Car 25! Happy birthday! You are now twenty-six. . . . Attention, all squad cars. Be on the look- out for John, alias Joe, alias Pete, alias George Gallagher, accused of illegally dis- tributing “Bob” Trayes’ book ‘Forever Andelman’, which has been banned by the Watch and Waldman Society. Attention, Officer Zimmerman of Car 13, operating in West Roxbury. Proceed to Bellevue Towers and tag all illegal parkers. Also beware of a suspicious-looking character wearing an unmistakable grey soft hat. That is all.” Upon reaching headquarters, 1 was con- fronted by the D. A., Kilduff: his assistant, Page Seventy-three Hagerty; and his secretary, Miss Lana (that’s Alan spelled sideways) Miller. But the D.A. dismissed me because he was checking on a case — a case of beer that should have been delivered from Crotty’s Brewery in South Boston. On my way out, I passed by the court- room where a case was being tried. That vigorous defender of public rights, “Honest John” Connelly, was accusing the defen- dants, “Pretty Boy Joe” Flaherty and “Influence” McElroy, of counterfeiting five- dollar bills. When McElroy was asked how he was caught, he replied, “I guess I shouldn’t have used McLeod’s picture in- stead of Abraham Lincoln’s.” The result- ing uproar caused dignified Judge Hayes to have the courtroom cleared, over the strenuous objection of defending Attorney Tomasello. In order to find out as much as possible about Boston in 1967, I took a tour with the Silverstein Sightseeing Service, con- ducted by McCabe, known to thousands as the “Human Loudspeaker System.” Our first stop was the Rosen Rodeo at the Bos- ton Arena. Among the prize-winners were Hugh Murphy for broncho-busting, Mc- Lellan for calf-roping, Ed Murphy for lasso-twirling, and Phil Flaherty for bull- throwing. Then we attended a show at the R.K.O. Theater (that’s Rosenfeld, Karger, and O’Brien). On the screen was a “Thin Man” picture starring “Al” Levenson, while the stage show featured Phil Spataro’s All- Girl Orchestra. Dapper “Ed” Blake was master of ceremonies. On the same bill were “Bow-tie” Berman, the swoon-croon- er; Singer’s Midgets; and Ingall’s Trained Seals. But we had to leave before the show was over in order to see the new hit-play at the Shumrak Theatre, “Antonelli. Get Your Gun”, starring Mayer Rubin. “Cary” Grant, and “Claire” Leondar. The bill- board said that the play was produced by Wilson, directed by Lyons, and written by Irwin Miller. However, we arrived too late for the matinee. The theatre was being swept by our renowned broom-pushing classmate, Avram Goldberg. We then proceeded to Boston Common, where we witnessed a tense chess match between Cikins and Schlosberg. Darnels, the referee, finally disqualified Schlosberg as physically unfit to continue and award- ed the victory to Cikins. Disgusted bv this brutalitv, we wandered into the Public Graudin, where we took a ride on the Swangren Boats. Our last stop was Radio Station WBLS located across the street. We arrived just as the Billy Durante program was going off the air. Announcer Warren Finn stepped to the microphone and said, “Here is Bump Hoffman, your WBLS sports ex- pert, presented by Lande-Struch cigarettes. But first listen to J. H. ‘Speed’ McSweeney, the famous tobacco autioneer. Let that hy- sterical chant remind you that Lande- Struch means fine tobacco. Remember, L.S.M.F.T. Here is what Mr. F. J. Irons, independent tobacco buyer of West Rox- bury, North Carolina, has to say: “Ah’ve been smokin’ Lande-Struch cigarettes for nigh onto 37 yars.” And the amazing fact is that Mr. Lyons is only 38 years old. And now, Bump Hoffman: “The big news in sports tonight is Homo- noff’s amazing victory over Lazarus in the hundred-yard dash. No details are avail- able yet, but it is reported that Homonoff won by a nose. Out in Indianapolis on the Speedway Bob Bond has broken his own speed record, set back in 1947 on the Veterans of Foreign Wars Parkway. His nearest competitor, Wally Abrams, trailed hopelessly behind Bond’s jet-propelled car, which he bought from Madman McLean, the Smiling Irishman. “The latest news on the big baseball scandal is that Commissioner “Happy” Cameron has banned “Home Run” Ducote from baseball for life because Ducote has been discovered associating with Jorges Parziale, President of the Mexican League. “And now a message from our sponsor.” “Men, are you feeling mighty low? When looking at a leopard, do you see spots before your eyes? Do you get heart- burn if you swallow your cigar? If so, try Dr. Golov’s Vitamin Pills. Listen to what Dwight Allison has to say: ‘Before I tried Golovs’ pills I was weak; I had no muscles, no appeal. But after taking one of Dr. Golov’s pills, I have been chased all over Belmont by hundreds of beautiful girls, and remember, Golov spelled backwards is Y’olog, which is almost the same as Golov. So, if you’re at death’s door, don’t worry, Golov’s vitamin pills will pull you through. “And if you try Golov’s vitamin pills, don’t forget to visit Digby O’Donnell’s LTn- dertaking Parlor. O’Donnell has had a perfect record of achievement for twenty years: no one who has tried O’Donnell’s has ever gone anywhere else. Remember, you’ll be a lucky stiff if you can be buried by O’Donnell, the amiable undertaker! “Here is your New York newsboy, Wal- ter Wingsted.” “Good evening, Air. Mrs. North and South America and all the ships at sea: Page Seventy-four Let’s go to press. Flash! The twenty- seven-month-old strike at the Pappas Pea- nut Packing Plant has finally been settled by Labor Relations Expert Gerald Foley. Foley says the workers will no longer be paid in peanuts. “Here’s news about the atom bomb. Pro- fessor Terry, winner of the Nobel Prize in physics, has been appointed to the Atomic Energy Commission. Prof. Terry says he expects to get a real bang out of his job.” “Mothers, are your children always ask- ing for food? Get rid of them the easy way by giving them Grillo’s Grisly Griddle- cakes. Grillo’s Griddlecakes are economi- cal, too. What you don’t eat of them can be used to patch uo your old spare tire. Remember, try Grillo’s; they really stick by you. Yes, sir; Grillo’s really stick. Now, back to Walter Wingsted.” “The mysterious voice of Mr. Hush on the radio program ‘Truth or Cohen-se- quences’ was finally identified last night by a lucky contestant, Michael Bucuvalas. For the last six months, the program’s announcer, Norman Shapiro, has offered fabulous prizes, including twelve dozen pairs of Silk’s Nylon Hosiery, a life supply of Campbell’s Soup, one hundred Red Seal Records of Rosengard’s Recitations of Famous Literary Works, a complete course of lessons at Prof. Rittenburg’s Dancing School, and squatter’s rights to 160 acres of land in the unexplored section of West Roxbury, to any one who could identify the deep voice of Mr. Hush, emanating from behind a drawn curtain. At last we can reveal that this voice was that of none other than James Savage, Sixth Vice-Presi- dent of the Fifth National Rank of Brigh- ton. “And now for the mail as time will al- low. Mr. Richard Curran, United States Ambassador to France: In accordance with your recent letter, I have conferred with Chairman Rexine of the Boston School Committee and Headmaster William Al- berti of the Boston Latin School about the matter you propose. However, they refuse to allow the Lawton sysytem of teaching French to be introduced into the Boston Schools.” “Mr. Garvin of Ashby-Del-la-Zooch: I have forwarded your letter to the movie star in question. Here is your reply: ‘Dear Joe, I am deeply affected by your sentiments. In accordance with mother’s wishes, please wait until I’m eighteen. Your Pin-Up Girl, Margaret O’Brien’ ” “Attention! Here is a last-minute bulletin just reecived from Admiral Boyd at Glocca Mora. He says, ‘Things are fine.’ “Now I return you to my sponsors . . “. . . who are Robert Corcoran — ” ■ . . and George Mulhern.” Page Seventy-five Know all men and Latin School Roys, by these presents that We, the members ot the Class of 1947, being of minds numbed by six years (more or less) of Latin School training and of bodies destroyed by Phys.

To Mr. Wilbur: The team of Gallagher and Kilduff to pull his plow. To Mr. Peirce: A gold pass on the Needham Local, N.Y. N.H. H. R.R. To Mr. Canned: A dumb waiter (thick, that is) to carry his lunch to the base- ment. To Mr. Renson: P.G.’s who come to class on time, and a loud speaker blaring, “Shut up! Shut up! ! ! ” To Mr. Carroll: a gold drum-major’s baton with which to lead the platoons in their march to the lunchroom. To. Mr. Sheehan: an unabridged volume of original English sentences. To Mr. O’Leary: (1) Six new brooms for his broom pushers; (2) A copy of Max Shulman’s classic, “Feather Merchants”; (3) The entire fiddle section of the Roston Symphony standing on chrome-trimmed soap-boxes.

To Mr. Russo: Our theories on nuclear fission explained in the King’s English. To the custodians, en masse: the hope that now we are gone, they will once again be able to smile. In addition to these joint blessings, the following members — bereft of all material possessions as a result of Class Rings, Class Dues, Class Dances, Class banquets, and Ted Murphy — give, devise, and bequeath the following: Curran and Abrams leave the stuffed ballot-boxes of one of the closest elections in the history of the school. Swami Relson leaves a well-worn pair of boots on the stage of the Assembly Hall. Berman leaves Velia to a swooning Class Six.

Rond and Irons leave Mr. Cleary in a quandary as to the disappearance of two white sweaters with L’s of Meliboean purple. brilliant, Constant, Keane, and Gallant leave their names to some less fortunate member of Class 11 so that he may become the “typical Latin School Roy.” DelYecchio drops the mantle of Rig Rill Hayward’s defense on the shoulders of_ his brothers. Corman and McSweeney, riding Shumrak and Marinella, and led by Sheriff Jim Savage, leave North Station to go gunning for the referees of the Latin-Patten game, spurred on by vociferous shouts from tuxedo-clad manager Hob Trayes. Garvin leaves a sunny disposition and ready smile . . . ahem!!! Miller, Shapiro, Harach, Ingall, et al leave Messrs. Marson, Gordon, and Rosen- thal crying on each other ' s shoulders and waving the Medalist award. Rlake leaves a copyrighted speech to the members of the Clover Club on his theories on capitalism. Boyd leaves his crimson blush to future physics classes. Homonoff leaves the hope that next year’s Virgil students will be able to read their own handwriting. Kruhmin and Shefftz leave notes for an unabridged history, laying bare the skeletons in the Latin School closets.

Rexine and Mulhern leave the Hall still quivering from the impact of their sten- torian voices. Etter leaves five packages of ill-used flash bulbs to next year’s photography staff.

MacElroy leaves a strong accent over the second syllable of his last name so that it may be pronounced MacElroy. McLean leaves his secret of how to see things out of the corner of one’s eye. Last, but indeed not least, DuCote leaves a Confederate flag and a record of “Zip A Dee Doo Dah”.

Just when they seemed headed for a great season, however, the Latin gridsters ran into a combination of powerful opposition and a streak of bad breaks which slowed down their torrid pace, but still gave them a creditable record of 5 wins against 4 losses. Memorial was overwhelmed in the opener by a score of 19-0. . . . Powerful B.C. High was edged out 2-0, on a safety, with John Gallagher making the tackle in the end-zone. . . . Commerce was the next vic- tim as “Art” Garcia sparked a powerful Latin ground attack. . . . The Purple reached their peak in the 27-0 rout against Dorchester as “Wally” Abrams ran wild. . . .

Page Eighty-lhrec BASKETBALL Those who had the good fortune to watch the 1947 edition of the Purple and White baseball team in action saw one of the greatest athletic teams ever to rep- resent historic old Latin School. For three successive years the Patten coached quin- tets have been near the top of the Bos- ton Conference; and this year they reached Down for another” the pinnacle by smashing their way to the City Title and the Class B Championship of the Tech Tourney. In a banner season, jam-packed with thrills from start to fin- ish, the Latin hoopsters went through with only a single loss in fifteen games and took the tournament crown in three straight. The only disappointment came when they lost to Patten Academy for the New England Class B championship. The Purple and White made history and gave warning to the rest of the League when they opened the season with that memorable 48-0 shutout over Brandeis. After a narrow win over Roslindale on Marinella’s basket in the closing seconds, Latin proceeded to run rough-shod over Jamaica Plain and Charlestown, with ’’Little Sam” still leading the way. “Nat” Jones was the key man in a hard fought victory over Tech, and Capt. “Jim” Savage “stole the show” as B.L.S. won their sixth in a row from Memorial. Then, after los- ing a heart-breaker to an under-dog Com- merce team, Latin came back to edge out unbeaten South Boston 22-21. I hey led the Purple rooters through agonizing sus- pense again, by taking a similar decision from B. C. High. With “Jonesy” setting a torrid scoring pace, Mr. Patten ' s charges disposed of high-flying Dorchester and fol- Page Eighty-jour lowed with victories over Trade and Brigh- ton. The last obstacle in Latin’s road to glory was removed when dangerous Hyde Park was throttled 23-13, mainly through a brilliant performance by “Jim” Savage. The victory over East Boston clinched the title, and the crowning point of a great season came with the thrilling 25-23 victory over arch-rival English, featured by “Fran” Collins inspired play and “Jonesy’s” last- minute winning basket.

Page Eighty-five TECH TOURNEY The Big Five” After one of the greatest seasons in Latin School history, the Purple and White bas- ketball team received a bid to the Tech Tourney. Turning aside some of the best opposition that could be thrown at them, the “dark-horse” Latin quintet came Make it FOUR” through to win the Class B Championship of Eastern Massachusetts by sweeping three successive games. In the opening contest against Milton, Latin ' s fast-breaking offense had rolled up a sizable lead in the first half; but when Collins and Corman went out on fouls, it was the good play of Captain “Jim” Sav- age and Subs “Charlie” McLeod and “Dick” Walsh that saved the day. Then, in the game against powerful Central Catholic, Latin ran into a team that was also great defensively and in the first half our boys could not even score a field goal. But the Purple came roaring back to forge a 20-19 win out of what seemed a hopeless cause, when late-game baskets by Corman and a foul by Walsh tied the score, and “Nat” Jones’ great clutch shot in overtime, followed by Marinella’s dribbling, gave Latin a victory in the most thrilling game of the year. In the final, once again Latin had to come from behind to overhaul fav- ored Reading in an end-game rally, with “Nat” Jones sparking the Purple to a glorious 28-23 win and with it the ( lass B Crown. Then “Steve” Patten ' s great Purple team went up against Patten Academy of Page Eighty-six Maine for the mythical New England “B” Championship. Latin built up a comfort- able lead, which dwindled rapidly when Savage, Collins, and Corman were forced from the game via the foul route. In spite of a heroic effort by game little “Sam” Marinella, who put Latin in front, 31-29 with two minutes left and was “killing the clock” with his sensational dribbling, fate and the referee frowned on B.L.S. and Patten tied the score. The undermanned Purple bowed out gallantly as they went down fighting in a heart-breaking overtime 35-32 loss. Mr. Patten’s “great bunch of kids” who made possible the team’s success will not be forgotten. Captain “Jim” Savage, an inspirational floor-leader, was a great de- fensive player. “Nat” Jones was a clever ball-handler and a deadly scorer in the clutch. “Sam” Marinella often broke loose to score on the “fast-breaks,” and his dribbling was the talk of the Garden. Big Elliot Corman, a stand-out defensively, blossomed into a first-class pivot man in the Tourney. “Fran” Collins (Captain- Elect), great off the backboards, was a vital cog in the Latin offense. Also in- strumental in making this memorable season were the Purple subs — Shumrak, Walsh, McLeod, Finn, and Sullivan.

The team not only com- pleted the season on a very pleasant note by its win over rival English, but also £ Missed, darn!” showed its true ability and an indication of what may be expected next year. Experiencing their second successive season under a new cocah, the boys were forced to adapt themselves to a different style of play. Perseveringly, Coach Lam- bert brought his boys along slowly until finally they rewarded his labors by defeat- ing our traditional rivals. The team was fortunate in having Dwight (“Shorty”) Allison and “Gene” Higgins as Co-captains. These two boys, seasoned veterans, steadied the team throughout the season. “Al” Stein, centering for “Joe” Crehan and converted Defenseman Gene Higgins, made up the first line. This trio formed a fast skating and sharp-shooting line, which afforded opposing goalies much trouble. “Al” Quirk and “Joe” Connelly, who have come along fast, paired up on defense, while “Jack” Barry tended the nets. Much credit is also due to the omni- present alternates — Terry, Tomasello, White, Kent, Maguire, Stevens, Monafo, and especially to “Bob” Sullivan, who suc- cessfully guarded the cage during the Eng- lish game. Page Eighty-eight Although a quick glance at the record would indicate a poor season, one cannot forget the innumerable handicaps over- come by both coach and team and also the late-season victory over English High.

Page Eighty-nine TRACK The Purple and White speedsters of the current season did not win any champion- ships, but this made their presence felt “over the Boards” at East Armory. In the four “quad” meets of the regular season. Some form” Latin took only one first place, one second, and two thirds. In the “Reggies,” how- ever, the Purple came through nobly to beat out Technical for runner-up honors behind Boston English. In Class A B, Latin was woefully lack- ing in top-notch runners. Junior “Joe” De Lang was the only stand-out as he gar- nered a total of 2314 points in the Hurdles and High Jump. The only other consistent point-getters w ere “Joe” Rosen, always a threat in the “600”, and “Ed” Dempsey, who showed great promise in the “1000.” Captain “Dick” Curran, Reggie “600” Champion last year and a potential record- breaker this year, was recuperating from his football injury; and his loss was most keenly felt. Class C proved to be Latin’s greatest source of strength and furnished no less than four “firsts” in the Reggies. “Cy” DelVecchio, top-scorer with 35 points in the Hurdles and Broad Jump, took a first place in the Reggie Broad jump. “Gerry” Diamond was unbeatable in the 50-yard dash and tied the Regimental record. The equally invincible “Larry” Sperber sped to victory in the “220.” The other first place was nettled by the crack C-relay team of Diamond, Markoff, Meterparel, and Sper- Pctge Ninety ber. During the season many points were reaped in the field events by Shot-Putter “Mike” Mabry and High Jumper “Tom” Bonner. Other Class C stand-outs were Markoff, Meterparel, Johnson, Gelles, and Kelly. Latin’s well-balanced Class D was paced by lanky “Jack” Goldberg, the team’s high- scorer, with 39V2 points, who also added eight points in the “Reggie” Hurdles and Broad jump. Other Class D luminaries were “Jim” Jones and “Dave” Cooper in both running and field events. Dashmen Campbell and Pearson, and Shot-Putter Young. With the bulk of Latin’s scoring power in the lower classes, Track is definitely on the “up-grade” at B.L.S.; and the day may not be far distant when the Purple will rise up to knock off English from its lofty throne. Coach FitzGerald has been working patiently with these youngsters for some time, and he hopes to reap that long- awaited reward. Much credit must be given to “Bob” Yarbrough for a most efficient job as manager. Lettermen Bonner, T.; Campbell, S.; Connelly, J.; Cooper, D.; Curran, R.

Page Ninety-one It’s out of the park!” Latin is fortunate in having three cap- able moundsmen in “Phil’’ Barach, “Joe” Garvin, and “Bill” Alberti, with “Joe” De- Lang doing relief work. Donning the “big harness” will be squat, “Buzz” Barton, a clever and capable receiver, who also uses the bat with authority. Around the in- field, we find Eli Young, a promising young Sophomore, and “Gene” Higgins, fighting it out for first; “Buddy” Powell, a Junior, but playing his third year, has again cap- tured the “keystone sack” with his flashy play; while “Tommy” Dowd and Harry Hewes, two classy infielders, round out the all-important short and third positions. In the outer gardens, “Fitzy” has two speed- merchants in “Steve” Meterparel and Jerry” Diamond, who should cause havoc on the basepaths. Left field is still un- settled, but “Joe” Garvin and “Bill” Al- berti, two potential sluggers, will probably be seen there, depending upon who is pitching. T he team is capably managed by Elliott “Pebble” Stone. The hitting, as usual, has been poor; but Coach FitzGerald hopes his “hitless wonders” will cop their share of games by good, sound baseball, i.e., taking advan- tage of breaks. The old screw-ball” Page Ninety-two At this writing little of hope can be re- ported concerning the Purple and White nine. After “picking over” the one hun- dred and fifty odd candidates, Coach Fitz- Gerald decided to “string along” principally with his youngsters and J.V. “farm prod- ucts.” ■ - Schedule April 15 Commerce 17 Roslindale 19 Harvard Frosh 21 Charlestown 25 Dorchester 28 Roxbury Memorial 30 St. Marks May 2 Hyde Park 5 Brandies 7 Jamaica Plain 9 Trade 12 B.C.

Page Ninety-three Captain — Emmanuel Balkin Playing Manager — Donald Swartz Faculty Adviser — Mr. Walter McCarthy Tennis is fast becoming a major sport in Boston; and this year Mr. Walter Mc- Carthy has stepped to the helm at Latin School. With four returning lettermen and a few additional boys with experience, Coach McCarthy has the makings of a first-class outfit, which should live up to the standard of last year’s Championship team. As is the custom, approximately thirty hopeful candidates have been vying for the seven positions on the team in a series of eliminations beginning early in the spring. The only definite starters in the singles are “Donny” Swartz, “Sid” Shaer, and “Men- dey” Balkin. Captain Balkin, unbeaten last year, and Playing-Manager Swartz are fighting it out for first position; but Shaer, a freshman who shows great promise, may usurp the No. 1 slot before the season is over. For the two “doubles” combinations, veteran “Av” Goldberg is one sure starter, while the other three posts are being hotly contested among “Dave” Bloom, “Shell Page Ninety-four Hart, “Al” Levinson, and “Sid” Schwartz, all of whom saw limited service last year, and new-comers Sumner Silton, “Ken” Rarrabee, and “Rob” Sheffield. Coach McCarthy looks forward with confidence to a rapidly expanding schedule of thirteen matches. The schedule em- braces matches with the nine other mem- bers of the ten-team Roston Conference. State and City Championships, and out- side matches with Huntington and possibly Hingham and Quincy. Each match con- sists of five games — three singles and two doubles, with one point being awarded for each game. The Tennis team will be com- prised of fourteen players, with seven men on the first team and a like number of substitutes.

Page Ninety-five GOLF As the season gets under way, predic- tions are not in order, but the possibility of a city championship, followed by an invitation to the Massachusetts State High School Golf Tournament, looms bright. When the call for candidates was issued this spring, only sixteen hopefuls, includ- ing three veterans of last year’s team, re- ported to our new mentor, Mr. Frank Sul- livan, former golf coach at Technical High School. Although Coach Sullivan plans to build his team around three handovers — “Bob” Walsh, “Bob” Coyne, and “Danny” Grant, he insists that no position is clinched. Three others will complete the six-mam team. All games will again be played at the Franklin Park Links. Instruction is given to all, both novices and advanced players, bv a professional every Monday afternoon. The boys, mindful of the post-season invitation awaiting city champions, were eager to tackle their tough schedule. An- other attraction of the season was the tournament to decide the city championship for individual players.

Owing to lack of facilities and the distant site of the meets, the number of candidates was small, but the few who did participate brought credit on them- selves and honor to the school. The natators of Latin School had their work cut out for them as they twice faced the best New England could offer at Gard- ner. Massachusetts, center of New England Swimming Tournaments. “Mike” Mabry displayed his versatility by donning bathing trunks and, without the slightest provocation, captured first place at both meets in his specialty-diving. The relay — composed of MacElroy, Mc- Sweeney, Gettes, and Mabry — finished a surprisingly strong second in the Gardner Interscholastic Meet, but did not fare so well in the Meehan Schoolboy Champion- ship Meet.

Page Ninety-eight CLASS V AND VI TRACK Latin’s Class Y and VI Track concluded a successful season by finishing a strong fourth in the “Little Reggies.” Under the able guidance of Mr. Gordon, the young- sters made an excellent showing in every meet, and the school may be proud of their efforts. As last year, the boys were classified according to age; Class F, boys under thirteen, and Class E, under four- teen. In the “Little Reggies,” Latin did re- markably well, considering that entries were limited to Class E and F; while all other schools, being junior high schools, had boys in Classes C and D. Walter Lethin, Jean Ellis brother of Court Ellis, and Flar- old Bower were outstanding in this meet. . . . The Midget Relay — made up of Pasco, Fiore, Lethin, and Galloway — really put Latin in the junior Track limelight by cap- turing first place in both the K. of C. and B.A.A. meets. The graduates of the Latin “farm sys- tem”, already making their presence felt, should make Latin a st rong contender in track circles in the years to come.

Segal Vice-President — Alfred Lee Secretary — Jay Fleishman T reasurer — Harry Cahill Faculty Adviser Mr. Robert B. McCreech The President speaks” Through the efforts of Mr. McCreech, the Club’s new adviser, and the cooperation and interest of its members, the Art Club enjoyed a profitable year. The principal activities were the draw- ing of the human figure and the creating of landscape scenes. Good results were achieved. Numerous pieces of work, from chalk sketches to charcoal drawings, were composed during the bi-weekly Tuesday meetings. Criticism and discussion on each were encouraged. President Segal spoke frequently on car- tooning, stressing fundamentals. Alfred Lee proved himself an expert on human anatomy, and the Club benefitted consid- erably from his advice. Besides entering the annual National Auto Safety poster contest, the Club took part in the compe- tition for the insigne design of the Massa- chusetts National Guard. Page Hundred and Six In order to awaken and add to the mem- bers’ appreciation and knowledge of great art, Mr. McCreech arranged for weekly exhibitions of classic paintings in the Latin School as an inspiration and an incentive to the betterment of the members’ own skills. Also included in this category were the Club’s frequent visits to the Museum of Fine Arts. These excursions proved ex- tremely interesting and illuminating, af- fording insights into real art. Thanks a re due the new but extremely capable adviser, Mr. McCreech, as well as the Club officers, without whose efforts the all-inclusive program of this year could never have been accomplished.

McCreech . . . then let go” The Aviation Club continued its regu- lar schedule, following its successful reor- ganization a year ago. The Club, as in the past, has endeavored to acquaint members with the fundamentals of aviation and with the building and flying of m odel airplanes. The President gave interesting talks on the theory of the model gas engine, the ignition system, and the operation of the motor. A small gas engine was demon- strated at one of the meetings. Other in- teresting discussions included those on the construction and flying of models and the theory of the propeller. Milton Barber of Class III gave an in- teresting lecture on the principles of jet propulsion, types of engines, fuels, and speeds. This talk was further enhanced by the actual operation of a model jet-type engine. Page Hundred and Eight Other discussions and talks which proved interesting were those on microfilm tele- metering, aerodynamics, aviation’s physical laws and constants, aviation designs, con- trol systems, formation flying and nomen- clature codes. Another highlight in the year was the Flying Meet, held in October in the Gym- nasium. Spreregan won the grand prize for the longest flight. His was an unusual model, capable of many feats almost im- possible to build into model planes. The Club has been fortunate indeed, in having such a High- Flyer as Mr. McCreech for Faculty Adviser. It was his idea to institute a quiz period at the beginning of each meet, with the highest scorer the re- cipient of a prize. This was but one of the many novelties in the Aviation Club of ’46, ’47.

The program adhered very closely to last year’s schedule. Members gave lectures on vari- ous subjects dealing with the intricacies of photography; the fundamentals being dis- posed of after the first few meetings. Highly technical talks on focal-plane shutters, anastigmatic lenses, spherical aberration, reflex-graflex operation, photo- engraving, color photography, and many other phases of “the Art” were presented. Supplements to these reports, in the form of slide-lectures from the Eastman Kodak Company were given, proving highly in- formative and interesting. Intra-club contests were staged, covering still-life, action, and table-top photography. In addition, the Club’s Annual Salon, open Page Hundred and Ten to the entire school, was held in May. This covered all the afore-mentioned fields, with prizes for each and one grand prize. The officers are to be commended for a hard job well done; for, besides conducting the affairs of the Club, they were respon- sible for the photography in this publica- tion and in the ‘‘Register.” Paul Etter, Vice-President, held the post of “Official School Photographer,” and it is to him that most of the credit for “Liber Ac- torum” is due.

All of last year’s first team were back: Belson, Homonoff, Cikins, Schlosberg, and Schwartz. Three of last year’s second team also were present: Mil- gram, Herbert, and Kraft. Rounding out the second team were Glassman and Gros- ser, with alternates Kolovson and Yphantis. The first match of the season, on No- vember 22, was held in our library against our ancient rival, English High. Our tradi- tional enemies were rapidly vanquished, 7-3. On December 2, the team travelled to Roxbury Memorial High School, where the newcomers to the league barely eked out 2% points against our hardened vet- erans. Page Hundred and Twelve On January 17, came the long-to-be- remembered match against Milton High School in their Chess Room. To secure extra points, the Supervisor of their team had, previous to our coming, shuffled his team, so that the ninth board was playing first board, etc. But this scheme was foiled through the fiery protests of the Latin School Club’s President. In this event, George Grosser won his much pub- licized victory over a far superior player. (Incidentally, to the whole team’s conster- nation and astonishment, it was served ice cream and cake at the conclusion of the match.) The final score was 8 V 2 -IV 2 . On January 24, the classy team from wealthy Brookline High School was met confidently in our library and smashed, 6%-3%. Janu- ary 31, we journeyed to English High School, and made our way into their li- brary to win, 6 1 2 - 3 1 2 . February 7, 1947, marked the massacre of Memorial — 9-1. March 7, Milton again was slaughtered. On March 28 we won the championship beyond all doubt by subduing Brookline High in their spacious library, 6 1 2 - 3 1 2 . At this writing two matches with Cam- . . . after three hours . . . bridge High and Latin School remain to be played. Credit is due Mr. Van Steenbergen, who gave the Club his full cooperation and sup- port and unsparingly gave his time to the team in its drive to the championship.

Page Hundred and Thirteen DRAMATICS CLUB She’s D-E-A-D! The year ’46-’47 saw several productions by the Dramatics Club. Besides the an- nual three-act play, the school witnessed an original play and a revival. The suc- cess of all of these was gratifying. “The Magic Christmas Tree”, a phan- tasy, written by Paul W. McGillicuddy and directed by Dr. Marnell, was presented to Classes IV, V, and VI at the Christmas Exercises. The story deals with two crusty old bachelors and how they were filled Master electricians” with the spirit of Christmas by a wonder- ful tree. The clever dialogue and excellent acting were very effective. The cast in- cluded the following: Kenneth G. Gallant, John E. Rexine, Francis C. Cadigan, and Frank Del Vecchio. James A. Wilson was the Stage Manager, and Peter L. Galanis was at the switchboard. A sketch based on the famous coasting episode in the city’s history (in which Latin School boys actually took part) was given at the Washington-Lincoln Exercises. This was written by Mr. Dunn and was originally part of the school’s Tercentenary Pageant, celebrated in 1935. The success of that year was repeated. The vivid cos- tumes enhanced the lively acting of the players. The skit was well received. The cast included Robert J. Corcoran, Robert J. McCabe, Charles R. Spataro, James R. Savage, Robert W. Bacigalupo, and Joseph S. Brown. Dr. Collins directed: Richard E. Lyons staged and lighted the show; cos- tumes and makeup were by Mr. Carl Krebs. “Ten Little Indians”, Agatha Christie’s recent Broadway hit, was the play selected by Mr. Russo for the major production of the year. This work, in which there are no less than eight murders, was as exciting a show as has been seen in recent years. The audience, engrossed throughout the Page Hundred arid Sixteen play, was kept guessing up to the final cur- tain. The play was an instantaneous suc- cess. Credit and praise are due the Girls’ Latin School Dramatics Club for their co- operation. Mr. Russo, assisted by Dr. Callahan, ably directed the rehearsals. Dr. Marnell was Business Manager.

Rexine Vice-President — Edwin Schlosberg Secretary — Philip Crotty Faculty Adviser — Mr. Max Levine Les Trois Mousquetaires” The French Club had an interesting and active program. There were lectures on many sides of French life, including con- temporary subjects. At the beginning of the year there were lectures on the French language. These included talks on the French language in general, Canadian French, and French in the U. N. Assembly. French sports were ably and thoroughly discussed, including the boxing of Marcel Cerdan, Schlosberg’s favorite topic for many a meeting. The lives of Louis Pas- teur, Napoleon, Alphonse Daudet, Maurice Chevalier, and Victor Hugo were discussed. The President gave a talk on Victor Hugo and his famous “Les Miserables,” a ver- sion of which was recently in Boston as a movie. Zimmerman gave a talk on Ver- sailles, supplemented with many pictures and charts. The French Club took sev- Page Hundred and Eighteen eral trips, via books and maps, to Paris, and a diplomatic voyage to the Moscow Conference. The main attraction of the year was the visit of a French war-bride, Mme. Jac- queline Taylor, who gave a lengthy descrip- tion in French, of her life in France, her experiences, and her trip across the Atlan- tic. There was a question period, in which the members of the Cercle asked her ques- tions and got their answers in French. Much interest and comprehension was developed in French this year in the Cercle, and much gratitude is due Mr. Levine and the following active members: E. B. Glass- man, J. F. Arena, K. C. Gallant, S. H. Zimmerman, and R. Rosengard. Reconversion in France” First Row (left to right): Rosengard, Sullivan, Rexine, Mr. Levine, Schlosberg, Crotty, Foley.

He was a great man” Officers President — David Bloom Vice-President — Werner Sievers Secretary- Elias Thomas Treasurer — Daniel Power Faculty Adviser — Dr. Francis E. Galline Program Committee Warren Cikins Harvey Seletsky Interesting if you understand it” The German Club, second youngest or- ganization in the School, and only in its second year, met with great success. The Club was organized last year by a group of enthusiastic Class I German students. It was not ’till January, 1946, that the Club was made official. This year it has become one of the largest in the School, and meets regularly on Tuesday in Room 116. Under the direction of Dr. Galline, this year’s German Club far exceeded all ex- pectations. The Club was fortunate in having professors from Harvard and Bos- ton Universities as guest speakers. Early in the season Professor Carl Vietor of Bos- ton University conducted a lecture on Ger- man literature, with the comic writer, Wil- helm Busch, as his subject. His talk, pre- sented in German, was illustrated with Page Hundred and T wenty slides. In February, Professor Budde of Harvard showed many interesting slides on ancient relics found in German museums, and commented briefly on them in Ger- man. On March 18, Mr. Max Cohen pre- sented an interesting talk in simple German on prewar youth movements in Germany and their importance. These highlights were supplemented by several discussions by l)r. Galline, who recapitulated many of his experiences in Germany. Several talks were given by members. Among those particularly active in the Club’s affairs are E. Kruhmin, H. Seletsky, I). Bloom, W. Sievers, and E. Thomas. The purpose of the German Club is to familiarize the students with the German langauge and to discuss German culture and history. Several of the members are native Germans, so that the Club enjoyed many informal talks in colloquial German. In the near future the German Club hopes to obtain recordings of German folk- songs. Other interesting talks by guest speakers have been arranged through the When I was there . . . ” efforts of Dr. Galline, to whom the Club is deeply grateful for the time and work he has spent to make it successful.

Page Hundred and Twenty-one GLEE CLUB Barber-shop Quartet” Officers President Edward W. Berman Vice-President — Arthur Sugarman Librarian — James Kennealy Secretary-T reasurer — Joseph Sullivan Faculty Adviser — Mr. Julius G. Finn Musical Director — Mr. T. Francis Burke In our Latin School, students often get together after a day’s work, to rest their weary minds with a bit of Brahms or a miscellany of postage stamps; or, perhaps, they engage in a discussion of world af- fairs. Few clubs, however, combine satis- factions as does the Glee Club. Up to 1940, the Glee Club was accus- tomed to present a Gilbert and Sullivan operetta yearly. This annual practice was abandoned in 1941 at the request of the Director of Music of the Boston Schools, partly b ecause this undertaking involved too much preparation. The years that fol- lowed were devoted to choral work, con- sisting, in the main, of spiritual and early American folk music. More recently the function of the Club has been to provide vocal accompaniment at assemblies as well as school radio programs. Throughout this Page Hundred and Twenty-two period the Club has been ably directed by Mr. T. Francis Burke, Assistant Director of Music in the Boston Public Schools. Mr. Julius G. Finn has served as Faculty Adviser since 1942. This year the Club has had a vigorous program. It gave its traditional presen- tation at the Christmas Exercises. The fine old hymns of Yuletide were sung by the chorus. At the Washington’s Birthday Exercises, February 14, the Club again gave an ad- mirable performance with appropriate choral selections and solos. The presenta- tion was warmly received. On a radio program, sponsored by WCOP, the Washington’s Birthday Pro- gram was repeated. The presentation, in its entirety, was recorded for the school. In addition to its regular functions, the C lee Club has planned a program of its own to be presented sometime in May. Selections for the chorus and the octette have been made, and solos by members Silent Night” will be given. This will be the first time since 1940 that the Club has attempted such an undertaking.

McElroy Vice-President — John Gallagher Secretary-T reasurer — Gerald Foley Faculty Adviser — Mr. Martin R. Lohrer The Highway Safety Club has enjoyed one of the most successful years of its career. Mr. Martin Lohrer replaced Mr. Mr. Murphy as Faculty Adviser. It is to him that most of the credit is due for reno- vating the Club and for leading it through such a successful year. The program was made up of several old and new features. Lectures, talks and expositions were delivered, covering all phases of safety on the highway. Prospec- tive license holders were afforded much valuable information. Movies, slides, post- ers and illustrative literature were shown all members. Page Hundred and Twenty-jour An innovation was adopted as outdoor demonstrations were staged. Many mem- bers also were afforded great opportuni- ties in watching the Highway Safety Course, given on Worthington Street, by the Teachers College. All in all, this year was a banner one. The Club owes much to Mr. Lohrer and the Officers, whose efforts made the Club effective and worthwhile.

Etter Vice-President — Robert Bond Secretray — Paul McGillicuddy Treasurer — Gerald Foley Faculty Adviser — Mr. Clinton B. Wilbur The Horticultural Club is a compara- tively new club in the school, having just finished its second year. Organized under the direction of Mr. Mahan, it was this vear continued under the guidance of Mr. Wilbur. The primary purpose of the Horticultural Club is to further the knowledge of boys who are experienced gardeners and to pro- vide material for boys interested although not actually participating in any agricul- tural work. It has been the aim of the Club’s lectures to make each meeting in- teresting for both types. During the present year, Mr. Wilbur has delivered several lectures on vegetable farming, farm tools and harvesting. The Club President lectured on compost, or- Page Hundred and Twenty-six ganic gardening, roses, bulbs, and fall care of gardens. Several times slides were shown. At one meeting slides on both familiar and unfamiliar garden flowers were exhibited. It is planned to have lectures emphasizing spring planting and care. Sev- eral field events are planned, including visits to the City Green House, located at Teacher’s College. We are fortunate in having for our Fac- ulty Adviser, Mr. Wilbur, who operates a large farm in Ashland. He is particularly interested in vegetable gardening and fruit trees. Flower gardening is not forgotten either; for many varieties of flowers, both perennial and annual, are placed around his house.

Page Hundred and Twenty-set en LITERARY CLUB Webster spells it C-A-T” Officers President — William A. Cohen Vice-President - John Rexine Secretary — Norman Shapiro Treasurer — Frank Alpert Faculty Adviser Mr. James A. S. Callanan How true, how true” The Literary Club, while adhering to its general policy of supplementing the school English course, further broadened its in- terest by an intensive study of contempor- ary literature. The study this year was divided into three categories: modern fic- tion, drama, and poetry. Much emphasis was placed on Eugene O’Neill’s writings in connection with the production of his recent plays. Theatre-going members of the club were called upon to report on the worth-while productions in Boston and New York. The works of John Dos Passos and Sher- wood Anderson, as examples of modern fic- tion, were presented in talks by two mem- bers, Leondar and Shefftz. In the ensuing discussions, as per custom, literary and philosophical influences of the times were stressed. In the field of poetry, Edna St. Page Hundred and Twenty-eight Vincent Millay and Carl Sandburg were selected as exemplars of modern verse. As pleasant minor diversions literary quizzes were conducted. Also, the Club, selecting from its own and other libraries of records, presented a wide range of good drama, including “Hamlet”, “Macbeth”, and Dickens’ “Christmas Carol.” The Club will complete its year with a presen- tation of the “Othello” records, recently purchased. The classical writers of English Litera- ture were not subordinated; for the second major discussion was on the development of the novel. In this series such writers as Fielding, Defoe, and Richardson were studied. The attention of the Club was later focused on Matthew Arnold, Carlyle, and Ruskin. The post-lecture discussions were illum- inating and frequently involved pertinent questions. Among the subjects treated were a consideration of the seeming irre- concilability of great tragic drama with our existing pattern of life; and the topic: “Style versus Sincerity in Comedy.” This year the membership reverted to the workable number of several years ago; and although participation was voluntary, The story of King Arthur” members displayed a willingness to cooper- ate. The great extent of literary coverage and the notable success was attributable, in the main, to the wise and capable di- rection of our Faculty Adviser, Dr. Calla- nan.

Although the Mathematics Club got off to a late start this year, it enjoyed a suc- cessful year. Many fields of mathematics were touched upon in the interesting lec- tures given by the members. Some of these lectures involved college mathematics, for such is the custom of the Club. The assistance of Mr. Cannell proved an in- valuable aid. Among the many lectures where those on Analytic Geometry and Probabilities by the Club President, Anthony Pappas. Allen Odian, the Vice-President, gave a humorous dissertation on Zenos Paradoxes and a talk on Cycloids. “Fascinating Magic Squares’’ was the title of a lecture given by Daniel Grant. Frank Alpert dis- cussed Einstein’s Theory of Relativity in a forum of Club members. Class IT was not to be outdone in the Page Hundred and Thirty Mathematics Club. A comprehensive talk was given by Epstein on the characteristic properties of graphs. The Club was, on occasion, engaged in solving difficult prob- lems brought in by members. The Mathematics Club should serve a twofold purpose: first, it should interest the students of the School in mathematics; secondly, it should provide an opportunity to expand one’s knowledge in mathematics and train one’s mind to think mathemati- cally. This year much has been done to attain this goal. So therefore . . .” Front Row (left to right): McGillicuddy, Bloom, Pappas, Mr. Canned, Odian, Alpert, Cote.

McCreech 1 Plan of attack” At no time in the past has the Modern History Club been more active and argu- mentative. The immense problems of post war readjustment, domestic problems and current events provided much ground for discussion. The Club engaged in many intramural debates. Meetings were held bi-weekly at which time the members dis- cussed current topics in open forum style. Each program opened with formal argu- ments by two members, one on the affirma- tive side, the other on the negative side of the question. The arguments were follow- ed by questions from the body of members. Unusually informative movies were showm which depicted life in Australia and New- Zealand. The Club was especially fortunate in obtaining several lecturers from Harvard University who were well informed on Page Hundred and Thirty-two topics of interest to the members. Allen Lee Crouch, Military Attache in China, spoke to the Club on that country’s cur- rent problems. C. H. Wu, from the De- partment of Economics, Harvard, also spoke on China. N. Kishner Murthy spoke on India. William Marden spoke on New Zealand. Thanks to our genial directors, Mr. Wil- liam H. H. I’eirce and Mr. Robert B. Mc- Creech, and five able, determined officers, the Modern History Club has risen to new heights. Active members in addition to officers, have included Geoffrey Paul, Francis O’Brien, Marvin Silberberg, Philip Barach, Joseph Stone, Warren Cikins, George Grosser, Irwin Miller, Norman Constant, and Norman Milgram.

Page Hundred and Thirty-three MUSIC APPRECIATION CLUB Modern Mozarts” Officers President -Arthur M. Daniels Vice-President- -Norman Shapiro Secretary — William Cohen T reasurer — Bernard Kliman Record Committee Avram Goldberg Harry Saver Jay Fleishman With their indispensable committee whose responsibility it was to select and procure the recordings for each meeting, Arthur Daniels and Mr. Julius G. Finn conducted the club in one of its most in- teresting years. The diversity of the pro- grams was such that every musical taste was satisfied, w T ith works ranging from Bach to Stravinsky, from Beethoven to Ger- shwin. In arranging the year ' s schedule, special attention was given to the old masters. Mozart was represented by his 40th Sym- phony and also his Haffner Symphony; Beethoven’s contributions to the year’s pro- grams included his 3rd, 7th, and 9th Sym- phonies, his 9th and 15th Quartets, and his 5th (Emperor) Piano Concerto. Works by Bach and Haydn were also performed: the 3rd and 4th Brandenburg Concertos e Hundred and Thirty-jour of the former, and the Quartet, Op. 54 of the latter. As representations of the Romantic school of music, two compositions of Tchai- kovsky were played, his violin concerto and 5th Symphony. Two Brahms sym- phonies were performed, his 1st and 4th, as well as his 2nd Piano Concerto. Other composers from this group included Cho- pin, with his piano music; Schubert, with his 8th (Unfinished) Symphony; Dvorak, with his 5th (New World) Symphony; Mendelssohn, with his Scotch Symphony; and Wagner, with his immortal Operas. Many modern compositions found them- selves entertaining the members. Sibelius ' s 2nd Symphony and Violin Concerto, a symphonic work by Samuel Barber, Ravel’s famous Bolero, Enesco’s Roumanian Rhap- sody, were all among the widely heard pieces of the Modern School. Although there was an abundance of better known compositions, many less popular works were featured throughout the year. Such music included the London Symphony of Vaughn Williams, the Violin Concerto by Walton, and the Polovtsian Dances by Borodin. A special program familiarized the members with the work of a Latin School alumnus, Leonard Bernstein, whose “Jeremiah Symphony was presented. ”1 think we broke it” Toward the end of the year, many mem- bers attended one of the novel “Pops” Concerts, directed by Arthur Fiedler. This visit proved most enjoyable to all those who were present. The officers of the club are most grate- ful to Mr. Finn for his generous aid in the organizations behalf. It is hoped that by attending the Music Appreciation Club its members have increased their under- standing for the finer types of music.

Cikins Vice-President-, Harold Homonoff Secretary — Howard Leondar T reasurer — Harold Sugarman Faculty Adviser — Mr. Julius G. Finn The Poetry Club has enjoyed a most successful season in spite of the fact that its activities were started late in January. Under Mr. Finn’s able direction, the works of many outstanding poets have been stud- ied and discussed. Since there w T as very little time available, it was decided to limit the Club’s functions to the appreciation of the works of prominent poets of the present day. The members were permitted, how- ever, to have their own works reviewed; and much constructive criticism was offer- ed. One of the chief interests of the Club has been the different points of view and opinions as to what the poem under dis- cussion signifies. It was interesting to learn the wide range of interpretation pos- sible. With the help of Joseph Auslander’s ex- cellent book on poetry, “Doorways to ICige Hundred and Thirty -six I Poetry,” the members furthered their un- derstanding of the art. Talks and debates were held on such modern writers as Rob- ert Frost, Countee Cullen, Elinor Wylie, Edgar Lee Masters, and many others. The structure and musical effect of met- rical composition was pointed out by Mr. Finn; and an interesting comparison of modern trends and those in all the other arts was made. A trip to Flarvard’s Wi- dener Library of poetic recordings was planned; but because of unavoidable cir- cumstances, had to be postponed. It is hoped that the Club will get into operation earlier next year so that more will be ac- complished. . . . his fill.” Page Hundred and T bit ty-seven RADIO CLUB This condenser usually goes first” Officers President — Robert R.

Members gained a basic knowledge of simple radios, thus supple- menting their Science course. Mr. Wales, our Faculty Adviser, proved of invaluable assistance when difficult problems arose. The activities included talks and demon- strations on home-made apparatus by the Officers and active members. One of the Club’s main projects was the construction of a one tube bread-board demonstration model triode receiver. Another entailed the assembly of a superheterodyne set. The lectures, covering subjects ranging from the simplest receivers to the most complex broadcasting systems, were highly informative and interesting. These led to discussions by the Club, enmasse, during which periods many interesting theories were voiced. Page Hundred and Thirty-eight In the coming scholastic year the Radio Club intends to carry a more intensive pro- gram; for this year late organization and small membership limited the Club’s ac- tivities.

This year, the Science Club has accom- plished much under the able leadership and direction of Mr. Robert Wales, our faculty adviser. The program has been wide and varied. 1 ' here have been lectures, demonstrations, and movies. Films on Aeronautical Phy- sics proved to be particularly interesting. Odian gave a demonstration on the elec- trochemical activity series and a lecture on the quantum theory of light, which in- cluded a discussion on the wave-particle dualism of light. An interesting talk on Atomic structure and Nuclear Fission was given by Fleishman. Initiating a new custom, the club under- Puge Hundred and Forty took the Edison Centennial Project. Pap- pas, Odian and Fleishman reproduced some of Edison ' s early inventions for the hun- dredth celebration of the birthday of the great inventor. The purpose of the Science Club is three- fold: first, it should promote interest in science; secondly, it should provide for a greater understanding of this enormous sci- entific world; and thirdly, it should provide an opportunity for scientists of the future. In our opinion the Science Club, has at- tained its goal this year. Let us hope that next year’s Club will be as successful. Edison did it.

Goldberg I icc-President — Geoffry Paul Secretary-Treasurer — Robert Bacigalupo Faculty Adviser Mr. Richard McGuffin Phis year has seen the continuation and expansion of Stamp Club activity, which began last year after wartime interruption. Owing, in many instances, to the able guidance of Mr. McGuffin, the Club has enjoyed a successful season. Continuing the valuable contacts made last year, the Club received literature and stamp lists from the United States Post- Office Department and from well-known dealers. Also, stamp periodicals were dis- tributed at the meeting so that all members could keep up with the latest develop- ments in philately. At each meeting the new issues from foreign countries were discussed, and spec- ial interest was noted with every new de- velopment in United States commemorative stamps. The “Smithsonian Institute,” “Kearney,” and “Edison” issues drew spec- Page Hundred and Forty -two ial attention. There was much interest in first-day covers, and information concern- ing their procurement was supplied by President Goldberg at each meeting. For- eign stamps of interest included commemor atives honoring the late President Roose- velt and stamps celebrating the United Na- tions Organization. The first issue of the new-born Philippine Republic received much attention. At every meeting a club member gave a talk on some phase of the hobby. Discussions included such varied topics as “The Equipment Necessary for Collectors’’ and “The Financial Cycles of the Stamp Market.” A member of the Club from Australia gave an interesting talk on the stamps of his country. After each discussion, a period of brisk trading and auctioning ensued, and the members had the opportunity of examining each other ' s albums. The program this year stressed the en- joyment as well as the educational value derived from stamps, and the Stamp Club encouraged many members to agree with that wise philosopher who once said. “Twice happy is the man who has a hobby, for he has two worlds to live in.” First Row (left to right): Blake, Hite, Kaufman, Goffin, Bucigulupo, Goldberg, Paul, Sheffield.

Page 1 1 undred and Forty-three MUSICAL ORGANIZATIONS The School is deeply indebted to its three branches of Musical Entertainment: the Band, the Drum and Bugle Corps, and the Orchestra, for their well-rounded season of excellent performance. The Band, under the able direction of Mr. Fortunato Sordillo and leadership of Captains Robert McCabe and Francis Cadigan, served us dually during the past year, performing at School Assemblies and on Brize Drill Day. School Boy Parade saw both the Band and Drum and Bugle Corps in action, leading Latin School to victory. Air. Joseph Donovan as well as Captains Dingwell and Tabs are to be commended for the Corps’ excellent show- ing. The intricate and complicated ma- noevres performed on Brize Drill Day were indeed a fine example of the superb tute- lage of Mr. Donovan. The Orchestra’s ser- vices, although mentio ned last were far from least. School Assemblies were enliv- ened by their appropriate music, and visi- tors were amazed at the “better-than-High- School” orchestra, under the guiding baton of Mr. Joseph A. Trongone. Our musicians’ photographs are shown below. Their quality definitely measures up to their quantity. BAND First Row (left to right): Goodwin, Searle, Brown, Rosenberg.
