LIBER ACTORUM Published by the Seniors OF Boston Latin School Boston, Massachusetts June, 1953 DEDICATION THE CLASS OF 1953 DEDICATES THIS LIBER ACTORUM TO THE FACULTY AND ALUMNI OF THE BOSTON LATIN SCHOOL IN RECOGNITION OF THEIR CEASELESS EFFORTS TO MAINTAIN THE HIGH SCHOLASTIC TRADITIONS OF ALMA MATER AND TO PERPETUATE THE ANCIENT IDEALS OF THE CLASSICAL EDUCATION George L. McKim Mr. McKim’s Message The year 1953 marks the end of one era and the beginning of another. It is the year in which the Democratic Party of Roosevelt and Truman lost control of the government of the United States to the Republican Party of Eisen- hower and his followers. It is the year in which Stalin died and Malenkov took over the reins of government in Russia. It is the year in which the Boston “Braves” transferred their franchise to Milwaukee, Wisconsin. And it is the year in which you young men graduate from the Boston Latin School. Truly, it is no ordinary year that sees the end of your secondary school career and the beginning of your college course. As I write these lines, the Communist aggressors in Korea, China, and Russia are putting out peace “feelers”, and the Western nations are cautiously considering them. The outcome of the peace con- ference about to be held will have a very important bearing on your future and the future of the world. Yet, I cannot refrain from warning you that our country can- not afford to be lulled into a false sense of security; and that it cannot afford to slacken its present plans for national defense. Hence, our government must of necessity continue its present draft policies, and the continuance of these policies will mean that you young men must look forward to at least two years of military service. So far as I am able to ascertain, the prospects of military service do not seem to worry you boys too much; but it is your parents who look into the future with anxious eyes. On their behalf, may I urge you to start your college careers in the fall, and to pursue them insofar as you are able. Each year, I witness some of our graduates needlessly dropping out of college to enter the armed forces. This, I believe, is a mistake. The country will be far better served, from the short-term point of view as well as from the long-term point of view, if you boys stay in college and earn your degrees. The country needs leaders, and it is to you that it looks for leadership. The country needs trained leaders, and the only way it can obtain trained leaders is for you young men to complete your college education. Long before you complete your college education, you will have to decide upon your life’s work. Naturally, you will want to succeed, and bring great honor to yourselves, your families, and your school. I wish I could give you a secret formula for success, but I am afraid I am unable to do that. May I suggest this: — Re- member always that you stand or fall on your own work. It may seem to you, now, that the above advice is no formula for success. You may now think that you will never fall, but will always stand erect. Let me assure you that you will have a great many falls before you realize the soundness of the counsel given. As you graduates leave our hallowed halls, I am reminded of a New Year’s message delivered in 1939. Although you are not at the beginning of a New Year, you are at the beginning of a new era. Here is the message which I would like to make my own: — “I said to a man who stood at the gate of the year, ‘Give me a light that I may tread safely into the unknown;’ and he replied, ‘Go out into the darkness and put your hand into the hand of God. That shall be to you better than light and safer than the known way.’ ” FOREWORD In tlin prge ' s of this Lihcr . ctorunt, we, the Class of 19, ' )3. have recorded tin ' e ents ol our final year at tlie Latin School. W ' e have reviewed the many phases of the school-life which v.as taniiliai to every one of us. With words and pictures, wc have atliered ineinentocs of our hist days here, .so that in years to come we niav lock had; upon them for pleasure or, pc ' rhaiJS, consolation. Althouf lt tire interests and activities of members ol cur Class have been ckverr-;- fi; d, one symbol has united us all. I ' liat, of course, is the Class Ring. The school :cal ujron its stone renrinds us constantly of Alma ' later. The numerals on its band link us by an mdesti ' uctable tie with our classmates. Indeed, as the emblem of oiu ' f ' l.- ' ss, the ring has become th.e fundamental sign ol our affihation with the Latin School. It has rcprescn ' .t ' d the basis upon which our academic lives have been built. It is pro;3 ' ' r thcri,fore. that this ring be used as the .symbol of our class record. . atin School is symbolized by the ring, v ' arious aspects of school life are wali reflected by the nrany facets of its stone. In one, appear likenesses of our masters. In c.nctl ' cc c.an tx plainly seen our own images. In a third are found pictures of special events in our school calender. In a fourth are photograjohs of athletic contests; and a hftli is a view ol club activities. rJaturalh ' , .e cannot always see a line representation of Latin School life in th.c ' se pictures. To our eyes, the reflectiems have frecjuently been somewhat distorted. In many cases, what has been the actual situation and what has appeared to be the si nation have been completely different. They hav ' C produced the apparent truth as well as the real truth. Losing all the reflections — both real and apparent, wc have compiled in this vfilume a conijrlete review of our Latin School days. We have shown in careful detail our many undertakings in tlx ' ir actual form. At the same time, however, we have attempted to r ' cord our personal impressions of these same activities. f .VeULTY Si.Nions 17 AnriviTiE.s 87 , thletics 111 .

Class President’s Message We have, after a long and hard iiull for many of us, at last reached our day. The struggle — and it has been that- — to achieve our Latin School diploma is nearly over. We look forward, eagerly, to that June day when we shall receive the prize that we seek. Three hundred eighteen years ago, at ‘‘a meeting upon imblick notice’’ the Latin School was founded and in its founding began American public education. P’rom the beginning the masters and the graduates of the School have held high cherished traditions- — some inherited from iMirope, but most becoming traditions by the continual use in our school life. It is thereby, no unu.sual situation we find ourselves in today — for Latin School boys have celebrated the founding of their school for over three centuries. It is our hope that Latin School boys will continue to celebrate Anniversary Day-Class Day — Ad Mullos Annas. Our school has had a long and glorious history. It has been .said that the story of American History might well be written from the names on the frieze of our Assembly Hall and in the stories of the boys who attended our .school. ' e stand at the beginning of the three hundred nineteenth year of our Alma Mater. We, the Class of 19,53, resolve that our deeds will add to the history of the .school and of our country. Though much of our schooling has been through the period of the so-called “cold war,” we face the future secure in the training we have receired here. The time is now here when we jtass from the receiving to the giving. As members of the Boston Latin School Association we shall help our younger brothers. I must imiire.ss on you, my cla.ssmates, that united effort is greater than single effort. When the Cla.ss has reunions it falls on each of us, individually, to join the grouji in order that the Cla.ss may be strong and the Alumni, therefore, stiong. We must add, to the Alumni assembled, a strong, cohesive force that through united efforts the training wv r( ' - cei ed may be available to all young men of ability in Boston. To Mr. McKim and the Faculty we wish to exjiress our thanks for a j( b well done. We thank our relatives and friends, here and absent, for their encouragement through the trying years. To Class II we should be living examples that “It can be done.” We. therefore, as a Cla.ss, on this the first day of another yeai ' in the history of the School, resolve to do our share, whatever it may be, in making this world a safer, saner place, and that as we go to our individual destinies we never forget the fact that wo arc Latin School boys.

Ring Committee The Class of 19,o3 had not yet survived its Junior year when ominous signs of Class 1 appeared in the form of the election of a Ring Committee, A representative of each of the ten Class II rooms met in the Library to make the annual decision for a ring style. The solution was to offer no less than four varieties to the members of the Class. Onyx or amethyst, heavy or light, Scho- lastic Jewelers soon came to relieve each member of a crisp five-dollar bill (or five old one-dollar notes) as deposit. With the prom- ise of the rings in September, 1953, the Class began to realize that Senior life had arrived. September came, and — to the credit of the Committee — so did the rings. Far happier was the trip to the Library; now the Class of 1953 had something to show from B. L. S. other than books. The novelty of that gleam on the fourth finger of the left hand may wear off ; but, for the moment, the rings were the center of attraction. The members of the 1953 Ring Committee were Charles McCarty, John Markonish, Leonard Pitotsky, “Dave” Goldberg, “Bill” Dolan, “Bob” Volante, “Ted” Nichols, Barry Gale, and “Pete” Balgochian. 91 Firgt h ' ow : ( loldhorg, Beiniti, Hasiotis.

Class Day The traditional Class Day Exercises for the Boston Latin School Class of 1953 were held in the Assembly Hall on April 17, with the usual full program of speakers. Mr. George L. McKim opened the meet- ing by reading his message to the graduating clas s, which appears on page 5 of Liber Actorum. The Head Master turned the exer- cises over to Robert Patrick Fitzgerald, Presi- dent of the Class, who addressed the members and their friends. His speech was followed by the deliv’cry of the |)rize-winning Class Ora- tion by .Alan Ira Levenson. The lighter but much awaited part of the program followed, in which students and masters alike were subjected to the good- natured humor of the Class Prophecy and Class Will. The Prophets, who did their “see- ing” in the midst of the Sahara, were Alan Jay Cushner and Henry Saul Heifetz. The 92 accuracy of their predictions is debatable, but the performance was enjoyed by all. Donald Stephen Evans and Sheldon Stephen Gordon read the Class Will, written by them in collaboration with Richard Irving Harris. This whimsical list of the bequests to the School, and masters by certain members of the class was also well received. The musical talents of certain individuals in the Class of 1953 were by no means over- looked in the Class Day E.xercises. Carl Ed- mund Nordahl rendered a vocal solo, accom- panied by Burton White. William August Welch played a clarinet solo, with the piano accompaniment of Bernard Arnold Wise- blatt. The Boston Latin School Band played a spirited medley under the direction of Mr. Joseph Trongone. The Class was indeed fortunate to have had, as its invited speaker, Brigadier-Gen- eral Thomas Connell Darev, ’28, of the LTited States Air Force. General Darcy’s address was a timely one and embraced sev- eral subjects of importance to the boys of the graduating class. He naturally mentioned the inevitability of military service, regardless of any change in the attitude of the world powers. The General also mentioned peace- time advances which have come and will come as a result of our war efforts. He stated emphatically that he is sure that inter- planetary e.xploration will be a reality in our day, a remark of no small interest in our “science fiction” times. In closing. General Darcy recalled his own Class Day in 1928. when his speaker left the Class with the suggestion to think always in life. Corres- pondingly, the Class of 1953 was told by its speaker that the important word to carry in- to life is veritas, truth. General Darcy’s Latin School education and his brilliant record in the military made him a highh’ outstanding and enjoyable speaker. The final part of the program was the singing of the Class song, which was written by Gregory Babikian. Although most would agree that the Class would not be successful as a chorus for a Metropolitan Opera pro- duction, the rendition of the song was marked by at least a degree of sincerity. Tin highly successful dav was closed with the Cla.ss of 1953 marching out to the strains of Auld Lang Syne. Credit for the enjovable program belongs in many quarters. Mr. Gordon F. Irons worked tirelessly to assure the success of th ( xerciscs. Thanks are due also to Mr. Philip ! ' arson, to Mr. Michael A. Famiglietti, the director of the Glee Club, to Mr. Trongone, and to the entire Class Day Committee and their ushers. Fiisl l{f.u ' : Tolinan. Hasiotis. Moriarty, Mr. McKim. Alioam, Cliamhras, Mar.

Prize Drill Boston Latin School’s eighty-ninth annual Prize Drill Exercises were held on AVednes- day, April 29, 19 )3. The weather was perfect for participants and sjjectators alike as twenty three conijjanies, led by their Senior officers, competed for places in the close-order drill exhibitions. d ' he two winners were the 4th Company, commanded by Charles Chambers, in the 1st Regiment competition; and the 10th Company, led by Joseph Moriarty, in the 2nd Regiment. These two boys were jjro- moted to the rank of Colonel. The othei’ jjrize-winners were: 1st Regiment — (2) 10th Company, Colonel Matthew Ahearn; (3) 9th Company, Lieutenant-Colonel Chris- tos Hasiotis; (4) 7th Company, Major John Harrington; (.o) .oth Company, Major Bur- ton Schwalb; and (6) 6th Company, Major Allan Patriquin; 2nd Regiment — (2) 9th Company, Lieutenant-Colonel Robert Mar- shall; (3) 5th Company, Major Edwin Tol- man; (4) 3rd Company, Major Jay Loyall; and (5) 1 st Company, Major James Gibbons. Twenty individual citations, ten for each regiment, were awarded to those boys ad- judged most proficient in the Individual Maual of Arms Competition. This year’s excellent group of finalists taxed the judges to the utmost before the winners could be found. For the second year, an exhibition by the Trick Drill Team was presented. This special group, each member of which is chosen for his sjrecial ability in drill maneuvers and rifle control, was commanded by Keith O’Donnell. I’hcir remarkable precision dis- play was entertaining feature of Prize Drill Day. The musical organizations provided en- livened performances during their parts of the ]3rogram. The Drum and Bugle Corp ' was led by Captains Myron Cohen and Joseph Mc. ' voy. Captains Alan Levenson and William Welch commanded the Senior Band; and Captain Maury Goldman, the Junior Band. Individual awards were gi en members of these groups for excellence in I usical work. Lieutenant-Commander Will- iam L. Cannon’s tireless efforts brought about • lie higlily succcssfid Prize Drill of 1953. 94 95 First h ' uw: Nichols, Fitzgerald, White, Kaimegieser, Hasiotis.

The many Seniors who attended were treated to an enjoyable meal and much interesting conversation from classmates, most of whom had left school for summer work three weeks before. The real entertainment came from our guest speakers, led ( or goaded ) on by Toast- master Lee J. Dunn. The annual cigars took their inevitable toll, but all agreed that the evening was a great success. The credit for planning and supervising the details for the Class Banquet goes to the able Committee, who themselves ere given valuable counsel from the genial and experi- enced Mr. Dunn. The Banquet was the last class meeting before Graduation, and the fond farewells were to last only until hic e ening of June 1. 96 Career Because of the success of last year’s Career Day, another such event was held in 1953. This year, Latin School’s guest speakers appeared on three different days; and the members of Classes II and I bene- fited immensely. At all the assemblies, Mr. George L. McKim presided. On March 24th, three distinguished alumni spoke. Dr. Norman L. Lavers, ’32, Professor at the Gordon College of Theology, spoke about careers in the field of religion. He commented, of course, that the remuner- ation of such careers are small materially, but that the spiritual gains are enormous. The legal profession was represented by Mr. Edmund Burke, ’22, President of the Boston I atin School Association. Mr. Burke, a successful Boston attorney, gave a highly factual and interesting address and pointed out the many difficulties in the way of be- coming a good lawyer. The last speaker on the program was the famed musician, Mr. Leonard Bernstein, ’35, Director of the In- stitute of Fine Arts at Brandeis Lhiiversity. Mr. Bernstein’s witty comments were highly instructive to those boys interested in careers in music, but he pointed out that only people who are willing to make sacrifices for the art will succeed. Two speakers visited the school on March 26th. Manufacturing and salesmanship were reoresented by Mr. William M. Ginsburg, ’33, President of the Serta-White-Cross Day Company. As had all the previous speakers, Mr. Ginsburg stressed the importance of a good liberal education for success in any field of endeavor, as well as in life itself. The Reverend Charles F. Donovan, ’29. Dean of the Boston College School of Edu- cation, spoke on careers in the field of teach- ing. Father Donovan, too, emphasized a point brought out by most of the guests when he sa ' d that the most important sub- ject to be na-.tered hi all careers is English. The final day of the Career assemblies was April 14th. Mr. Roger B. Tyler, ’12. Presi- dent of the Workingmen’s Cooperative Bank, spoke lor banking and finance; but Mr. Tyler said that he has found the best pre))aration for such careers to be the law ' . Engineering N ' .as discussed by Dr. Nathaniel H. Frank. ’19, Head of the Physics Department at tlv.- Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Dr. Frank commented on the many exrellen; positions ax ' ailable in industry and research lor graduates of engineering schools. He said h. ' ' believed that this condition would not change radically for some years. The final speaker was Dr. Leroy M. S. Miner, ' 01. formerly Dean of the Harvard School of Dental Medicine. Dr. Miner mentioned a subject ol great interest to many boys, the medical school situation. At the end of each day’s exercises. Class I was allowed to remain in the Hall and ask questions of the gentlemen who had spoken. 97 Firf t How: A ' hite. Kannegieser, Fitzgerald, Hasiotis, Dolan.

L. S.’s old haunts were either previously engaged or had discon- tinued such functions. The final decision was, however, an excellent one; and the Senior Prom was held at the Hotel Somerset Princess Ballroom on the fifteenth of May. The music was provided by Johnny Mc- . teer and his orchestra. Dancing was the general order from eight to midnight, at which time the couples left for home or for a famous night-spot on the Worcester Turn- pike (which shall be nameless). The success of 1953’s Prom was due to the hard work of Chairman Fitzgerald and his Committee. 98 Class Oration By Alan I. Levenson Not many years ago, we sat in this Assem- bly Hall for the first time. We had just entered the Latin School then, and our ca- reers here were beginning. Now the mo- ment is rapidly approaching when we shall sit in the Hall for the last time. Our Latin School days are drawing to a close, and within a few short weeks we shall graduate. As we look back upon the time that we have spent here, we become conscious of many things. We realize how fortunate wc are to have been able to attend this great school. Wc appreciate the full value of what it has offered us. Wc recognize the marvelous advantages which we have en- joyed as Latin School boys. Our Alma Mater has indeed been good to us. Throughout our high school careers, she has helped us and protected us. She has trained us to think intelligently and to act righteously. She has prepared us to enter our community and to become worthy citizens. Truly, she has carried us far along the road toward maturity and wisdom. Most of our experiences here are simply memories now, but they are memories which will remain with us always. Who will ever forget the football games and the wild ex- citement that accompanies them, or the com- petition of Prize Drill and the Schoolboy Parade, or the eloquent Declamations and the fiercely contested debates? These wc shall remember forever, and in later years we shall treasure them as mementoes of this wonderful period of our lives. Amidst all these reminiscences, however, we find that today our thoughts arc pervad- ed by a feeling of gratitude and apprecia- tion. We realize now that we have not been working alone. The successes which we have achieved and the accomplishments which we have reached have not come solely as the result of our own efforts. We are indebted to our masters and advisers for their cea.se- less toils in our behalf. These men have not concerned themselves with personal gain or advancement. Rather, they have devoted themselves to us and labored for our benefit. Then, too, we are thankful to our parents. who have done so very much for us and have made .so very many sacrifices for our happiness. They have rejoiced with us in our pleasures and grieved with us in our sor- rows. They have stood by us constant- ly, always ready to offer a.ssistance or con- solation when it was needed. Last, but cer- tainly of no small proportions, is the grati- tude we owe to our nation and to our fel- low-Americans. Surely, the vast majority of them is unknown to us; nevertheless, it is they, and they alone, who have made our education — indeed our very existence — pos- sible. Many times have they fought and even died so that we might be free. Alany times have they offered their lives as secur- ity for our welfare. It would indeed be difficult to pay such debts as these. Undoubtedly, the people who have aided us neither recjuest nor expect any compensation. Perhaps, however, we can satisfy them best if wc simjrly remember words of the Biblical Prophet Micah and resolve “to do justly, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with our God.” As we celebrate Class Day, our most nat- ural desire is to look back, to review the path cf events which has led us to this moment. Such retrospect, however, is hardly adequate or appropriate at this time. As intelligent ouths we must turn our eyes toward tomor- row. Our concern should be the seeds which we are about to plant, not the crops which we have already harvested. Naturally, we cannot make any definite plans for the future. The uncertainties of the modern world place specific decisions of this nature in the realm of absurdity. What we must do instead is to prepare a general code of living for ourselv ' es. We must shape a pattern of behavior which will be applica- ble to every phase of our existence. Per- haps, at first thought, this seems to be an insurmountable task; but, actually, it requires nothing more than a bit of intelligent rea- soning. First, of course, we must determine for ourselves a goal — a goal which is worthy of men of intelligence and character. Then, perhaps even more important, we must re- solve to labor diligently and continuously until that goal is attained. During our years at Latin School, we have become accustomed to hard work. Now let us remember that in the years to come, our labors cannot and must not cease. During the remainder of our lives also, we must develop and obey a set of high mor- al standards. In the modern world there seem to be many people who look upon eth- ical conduct with scorn or even contempt. Indeed, there arc many persons who appar- ently have lost all sense of decency and have replaced it with a lust for wealth and mate- rial gain. We, however, cannot allow ' our- selv’cs to become members of this group. Rather, we must always strive to do what we know is right, not what we think is most expedient or most profitable. The road ahead of us is not an easy one. It is beset with treacherous pitfalls and severe obstacles. We must face it, nevertheless, with courage and determination. Even in these trying and uncertain times, we must follow our course confidently and hopefullv. Innumerable misfortunes may be heaped upon us and countless handicaps may be placed in our path. The road, however, still lies before us; and, as always, “it is the bus- iness of life to go forward” upon it. 11)0 Class Prophecy Scene: The Sahara Desert; Time: 1980. Setting: Cushner, in torn clothes, comes crawling onto stage, groaning, “water.” Heif- etz, clad in Arab robes, enters from other side, sees Cushner, and bends down.

Whatever you’re doing here, give me some water. I’ve been lojt in the desert for three w ' eeks, hunting for ... ski slopes. But how did you get out here? Heifetz: Well, right after my graduation from Latin School, I went on a trip to Afri- ca. During the e.xpedition, my safari was raided by the great Arab sheik, Mitch Ma- loof ; and I became a prisoner of the Arabs. I am now one of Shiek Maloof’s chief as- sistants. second only to his harem-keeper, Haig Aghjayan. Cushner: Well, what do you know? Cushner Heifetz: Isn’t it a small world? Heifetz: Listen, Al, I’ve been stuck away in this desert for 27 years, with no news from the outside. Can you tell me something of what’s goin’ on?

FOOTBALL For the first time in more than thirty years, a B.L.S. football team took the field without the Gyiidanee of Charley” FitzGerald. After a thirty-one year tenure of service, Mr. Fitz- Cferald bowed out as head coach. He was rt ' plaeed by his able protege, Walter McCar- thy, under whose supervision the team, hav- ing finished the season unbeaten, tied with Boston College High for the Conference title. No players on the team could be termed ‘outstanding’, yet the team had depth and balance and the ability to come through when the chips were down. The offensive backfield consisted of Hasi- otis at quarter, Fitzgerald and Dickey at halfback, and Connelly at full. The defens- ive backfield was made up of Dickey, White Kannegiescr. Latin was fortunate in having two excellent backs in Connelly and Fitzger- ald and one of the better two-way players in the Conference in Frank Dickey. Hasiotis did not win the quarterback spot until late in the season; but, once he was given the chance, he performed capably. Latin’s line, the best in the Conference, w ' as composed of the following players at the defensive posi- tions :r.c., Levine; 1. t., Simehes; 1. g., Aghja- yan; c. Doherty; r. g., Casey; r.t., Piraino; 1. e.. Smith; The offensive line was composed of the following: l.e., Allen; l.t., LaTorraca; l.g., Hailer; c., Doherty; r.g., Casey; r.t., Me- 114 land; r. e., Dailey. The kicking chores were ably performed by Donny White and A1 Forgione. Latin outscored ther opponents in the course of the season, 208-83. Latin got off to a slow start, losing to South Boston in a 15-minute scrimmage in the Jamboree and needing two last-period touchdowns to beat a rugged St. Mark’s eleven. In their first Conference game, how- ever, B.L.S. surprised the experts by battling to a draw with a highly favored B.C.H. squad. If Latin had been able to get any kind of break, they could have upset the Eaglets. Latin had no trouble whatever in getting through the rest of the season un- beaten, as team after team succumbed to Latin’s superior depth and balance. The sea- son ended on a triumphant note when the Purple administered a 30-12 shellacking to their arch-rival, English. Record Latin 19 St. Mark’s 7 I atin 13 B. C.

BASKETBALL The year 1953 saw the B.L.S. quintet snag third place in the torrid Boston Conference race. Defeats by Dorchester and English, combined with an upset by Technical, pre- vented the Latin five from getting its first city championship in six years. Coach Patten employed a highly success- ful zone-defense and a potent driving of- fense throughout the season. The greatest thrill of the sea.son was provided when the Purple quintet scored thirty-nine points in a game against Technical. The sparkplug of the team was “Hooking” Jim Francis, whose 312 points established a new Latin School scoring record. Captain Bob Fitzgerald and Frank Casey capably manned the guard positions, while fighting Frank Dickey and set-shooting “Sonny” 116 Watson were the mainstay forwards. Joe McAvoy, Ed Dailey, Ralph Meland. Jack Stebbins, and Bob Watkins also saw much action. Others who well deserved their purple “L” were Joe Honan, Merv Weiner, John Kolsti, John Dwyer, and A1 Patriquin. Thanks are due manager Paul Greene for a job well done.

HOCKEY After serving two years in the Navy, Coach “Ed” Lambert returned to take over the B.L.S. hockey team again, and succeeded in putting together a team which was one of the better in the Conference. The team got off to a fast start, easily beating Commerce, Dorchester, Jamaica Plain, and Trade in that order. In their next outing they were tied by an underdog Memorial sextet, main- ly because of a remarkable exhibition of goaltending. Ill luck continued to plague Latin in their next contest, as they suffered their first loss of the season at the hands of Technical in a game which could have gone either way. In the final game of the sea- son, the Purple went down to defeat before their arch-rival English, when a stirring comeback was thwarted. The team finished 118 in third place, with a season’s record of four losses, two defeats, and a tie. The first team was composed of Baker and Kelley at wing; Coakley at center; Loy- all and White at the defensive positions; and Collins, in the net. Although Paul Kelley was the leading scorer on the team, it was Cap- tain Ed Coakley who was the sparkplug and playmaker. Coakley, finished the season leading the league in assists. Collins’ net- minding was superb throughout the season, as he allowed only ten goals to be scored against him. Loyall and White played some excellent defense, bottling up the opposition continually and taking the brunt of the bur- den oflf Ed Collins’s shoulders. Latin was fortunate in having an excellent second team, compo.sed of Gene McLaughlin and Art Garricre, at wing; Bob Schroeder, at center; and Glavin and Kent, at defense. The outlook for 19,53 is promising, as many underclassmen will return to the fold— - prominent among them being Paul Kelley. Jack Connelly, Bob Schroeder, Art Carrierc, Stubby Altmeyer, Doug Wilson and Gene McLaughlin. “Ed” Lambert’s excellent coaching and Keith O’Donnell’s eflfective managing made the season a memorable one.

TRACK After sweeping through its opposition in quadrangular meets for the third consecu- tive year, the BLS speedsters humbled Ro - hury Memorial and arch-rival English in the Regimental Championship. The Class A contingent, one of the strong- est in years, boasted many top-flight perform- ers. Outstanding were Dick Wharton, A1 Horwitz, Bob Orfant, Vin Falcone, and Bill Bradley. Other consistent contributors were Jack Boussy, Tom Flynn, Phil Arena, Ed Howard, and Ronny MaeKay. Foremost in Class B were Art Mayo, Bob Paquette, Bob Holtz, Saul Troiano, John Dobbyn, Merrill Sidman, Leo Cox, Dick Marshall, A1 Serser, and Harvey Ginns. Class C ranks were filled by Reggie double record-winner Dave Rosenthal, Pete Fran- chi, Charlie Carp, Mel Abend, Fran Ruoto- lo, Don Pearson, Bruce Golden, and Dick Murray. These boys and other Class C 120 tracksters, who showed considerable promise, foretell a propitious 1954 season. Needless to say, behind the gloriou achievements of these boys lay hours of skillful coaching and hard work. The Liber Actorum e.xtends heartiest congratulations to the entire championship squad, Coach Fitz- Gerald, and Co-Managers Chuck Gorodetskv and Bob Dunbar.

CROSS COUNTRY The Latin School Harriers easily dom- inated the Boston Scene in 19, ' )2. B. L. S. won the City Championship by emerging triumphant in the cro.ss country Regimentals as Dick Wharton placed fourth, Bill Bradley fifth, and Tom Flynn eighth to spearhead the Latin contigent. The Purple then proceeded to come within a hair of winning the State Meet as Dick Wharton took second place, Tom Flynn seventh, and Bill Bradley tenth, leading the team to second-place finish. Outstanding performers throughout the season were senior Dick Wharton (co-cap- tain) and junior Tom Flynn. These two were selected to represent Massachusetts in the New England Meet. Other sterling perform- ers were Bill Bradley, Bob Livolsi (co-cap- tain) Chet Rose, Don Pearson, and Jack McGuire. Promising youngsters are Paul Epstein, Mel .Abend, and Flarvcy Gins. 124 GOLF Another excellent contigent of Latin School golfers seems headed for the City championship. Last year’s top six starters returned to spark the aggregration. Out- standing were Scott Soyall, Frank Scigliano, and “Ed” Coakley — ably followed by “Ab” Baker, “Charley” Fox, and “Jim” Gibbons. “Ed” Glasser, “Bob” Holtz, and “Joe” Brandley completed the starting team. The Liber Actorum extends best wishes to the Latin School golf team in the hope that it may continue its winning ways and bring another championship to B. L. S. 125 Firnt Rinc: Mason, Limmer, Ciowloy. Snyder, Ayines, Banks, Kelley. Second Ri.ic: Damn, Stevens, Kaplan, Wassennan, Haddad, .Vlheretti, C!o ernor, Lynch, Mr. Lambert. SWIMMING This year B. L. S. celebrated the return of its varsity swimming team. Five year.s have elapsed since the team, under the cap- able leadership of “Mike Mabry, captured fifth place in the state-wide competition, held every year at Gardner. The team competed against such schools as Brookline High and Huntington Prep; and, under the leadership of Coach “Ed” Lambert, performed nobly as a result of fre- quent practices at the Roxbury Boy’s Club. About twenty swimmers spearheaded the Latin School contingent. Outstanding per- formers were Captain “Mel” Snider, “Red” Perchard, and “Reggie” Mason. 126 Fimt Row: Watkins, Heifetz, Yamioni, Co-Caj)t., Mr. Thomas, Bernstein, Co-Capt., Jacobson, Wliite.

TENNIS Carrying on in the tradition of Latin School tenni,s teams of the past, the 1953 aggregation seems destined for the City championship. Undefeated so far in match play, the Purple and White has not lost a single point. Sparking the team have been Co-Captair “Bunny” Bernstein and Nino Yannoni. Other Senior players included “Hank” Hei- fetz “Marty” Jacobson, “Burt” White, and “Al” Aymes. Playing third singles was Wat- kins, a sophomore who shows great possibili- ties. Other promising lower classmen are Stone. Kamers, Cerul, and Rosenthal. 127 Firsl Raw. A lanis, Maiicini. Ishouri, Harlow, Tacolli, Feldman, Haynes, Schlo.ssberg.

Class V and VI Baseball Through the good training and smart coaching of Mr. Lambert and his three associates — Collins, Preincn and Reilly — the Class V and VI 1953 baseball team is heading toward the top of the ladder. Mr. Lambert has put in hours of conscientious training with the .squad, and at this time the team is enjoying an undefeated season. The leading prospects for Mr. FitzGerald’s Junior Varsity Team of ne.xt year are “Tex” Tacelli, outfield; “Art” Harlow, catcher; and Fred Haynes, outfield. Other performers of note include Adams, Hancini, Ishouri, Schlossberg, Feldman, and Berg. 12Ji Firnt Row: Feinstein. Shultz, Schlos.sbeig, Haynes. Wa ' sli. Oilanle. Second Row: Sullivan. Gray.

Class V and VI Track Our Cla.ss V and VI track team posted an imposing record in the 1953 season competing against twenty-two junior high schools and a larger number of elementary schools but entering a team in only one class, the Purple and White tracksters finished third, with a total score of 18 points. Spearheading the B. L. S. four-man con- tingent was Saunders, who equalled “Art” Mayo’s 60-yard dash record. Swepon took hrst place in the 120-yard dash, while Grant placed second in the 176. These three boys combined with Toley to smash the Class E relay record. The Liber Actorurn extends its congratula- ion to the team and to Coach McCarthy and hopes that these tracksters may be scoring varsity points for B. L. S. in the years to come. 130 131 Publications Advisers Lee .1. l)rxN Philip ] Iarson Aaron Gordon Alfred Rosenthal 134 Yearbook Committee Levine Yearbook Aides OoLDIXdS Kelly Van NON!

Heifetz Co-Chairman Morris Ctoldings Cii.yrles Smith Ricii.vrd H.vrris In 1952 - ’53, the Latin School Register, oldest .school publication in the country, enjoyed a highly successful year. The coveted Medalist Award of the Columbia Scholastic Press Association returned to Latin School as the Register garnered the amazing total of 961 points out of a possible 1000. Credit for this achievement goes to many sources. Co-Editors Henry Heifetz and Albert Forgione merit congratulations not only for their work in making up the issue, but also for their frequent contributions to the literary and art departments, respectively. Plaudits must also go to the other members of the Executiv ' e Board : Morris Goldings, Literary Kditor; Charles Smith, Business Manager; and Richard Harris, Advertising Manager. Other Seniors who hgured prominently in production of the issues were writers Thomas 136 j. Hegarty, Marshall Lifson, Albert Klainer. Harvey Grasfield, Harold Goldberg, Alan Gushner, William Welch, Abraham David- son ; and photographers Barry Robinson and Paul Kelly. Promising underclassmen in- cluded Bruce Nielsen, Herbert Waxinan, Marshall Horwitz, Gerald Ryan, Shelbournc Lyman. Donald Watson, Jayson Taylor, and Herbert E. Millstcin. ■■ s al ays the ?c� Ltcr was indebted to its faculty advisers Messrs. Marson, Rosenthal, and Gordon. With the 72nd year of publication drawing ro a close, the Seniors, in leaving the Register to their cajjable successors, c.xtend the wish that the magazine may continue on the high lc els of literary quality which it has held in the past.

Goldings Treasurer Philip J. Arena Faculty Adviser Lt. Cmdr. V. L. Cannon The Boston Latin School Chapter ot the National Honor Society marked its fifth year by continuing an ambitious program of worth-while activities. Lhider Mr. Cannon’s direction, the Sav- ings Stamp Committee worked each week to keep up the School’s high sales record. Early in the year, a rejircsentative of the Treasury Department awarded Latin School a citation for leading the city with over eleven thousand dollars in stamp purchases. The presentation seemed to increase interest in the important project. The Society’s committee of twentv bovs was headed by Co-Chairmen Marshall Lifson and Robert Volante. In December, twenty-eight more members of the Senior Class were inducted at cere- monies in the Assembly Hall. Burton was ehairman of the meeting and delivered the ojiening remarks. He was followed by four members who diseussed the requisites lor admission into the Honor Soeiety. The speakers were Morris Goldings, on Scholar- ship: . lan I. Levenson, on Service: James D. LIB Gibbons, on Leadership; and Thomas J. Hegarty, on Character. Christos Hasiotis was the marshal. On Wednesday, April 15, forty members from Classes II and I were inducted at similar ceremonies. This year’s fund-raising event was a lively basketball game between the Society and the Faculty. The gymnasium was filled for the struggle; and, after a hectic game, the Faculty won. The afternoon, however, was a great success for the Society financially. I’hanks are due the members of the Faculty for their good-natured assistance in this activity. .■ s the Class of 1953 membership leaves the Honor Society, the lower classes must realize that they will soon be called upon to take the lead. If all students conduct theii Latin School careers in accordance with the standards of the Society, success is assured. First Row: Patri(iuin, Heifetz, Tolmaii. Brofman, Yannoiii. Marshall. White ' .

Scott Loyali, J’ice-President Martin Forsberg Secretary Frederick Tishler I’reasurer William Fahey The Bowling Club began competition in early November, with fourteen teams com- peting for the 1953 trophy. The matches, as usual, were held at the Ffuntington Alleys every Friday afternoon. At the outset, it appeared that the race for the championship was going to be a hard fight among the teams from 335, 332, and 312; however, this expectation was quickly ujjset when the team from 335 consistently romped to victory. The victorious team was made up of “Fred” Tishler, “Frank” Murphy, “Ed” Glasser, “Harry” Partamian, and “Bill” Cunningham. During the keen competition, which lasted five months, “Pete” Balgochian achieved the highest single string — 134; while “Fred” Ti,shler bowled the highest 3-string total — 348. The victorious team from 335 broke the high string total, a record which had stood for five years. 140 Ve wish to thank Mr. Richard Thomas for his assistance. We wish the best of luck to ne.xt year’s officers for an equally successful club.

I ' ice-President James Gibbons Secretary Robert Volante I ' reasurer Morris Goldings Chairman of Activities. ...Tuomas Hegarty Under the guidance of Mr. Levine, the Cerclc Franqais enjoyed one of the most suc- cessful years of its existence. Mr. Levine’s inexhaustible knowledge of French culture, geography, and customs proved invaluable in serving to supplement the di.scourses given by the members. Much of the success is due, also, to the impressiv ' e enthusiasm dis- played by President Segal. Outstanding among the speakers were Charles Segal, Morris Goldings, and Thomas Hegarty of Class I ; and Harrington, Solo- mon, and Dorfman of Class H. This past year, the members of the Cercle Francais were especially fortunate in welcom- ing two guest speakers: Mr. J. P. Hanrahan and Mr. P. Mather, who both recently spent a year in Europe. 142 Discourses were given on such important subjects as I’Academie Frangaise, le Mardi Gras, la Marseillaise, Robespierre, Aloliere, Dumas, Rousseau, Merimee, and Madame Curie. Thus the two aims of the Cercle Frangais have been accomplished : the promotion of interest in French culture, manners, and life: and the encouragement of the use of oral French. The members of the Cercle Frangais of 19.t2-1953 wish next year’s Club the best of luck for a successful year.

At the initial meeting, we were privileged to hear Mr. John O’Day, of the Registry of Motor Vehicles, talk on Highway Safety. During the remainder of the year, meetings were enlivened by the use of films, safety tests, and talks by the Senior officers. On February 7, the Club went on the air, and presented a half-hour program on Highway Safety over radio Station WMEX. Club President Barry Robinson acted as moder- ator; the other Senior officers, as panel mem- bers. We heard selections by the Latin School Glee Club and by .soloists Richard Finkel, Thomas Hegarty, and Ronald Stone. The accompanists were Burton White, and Ber- nard Weiblatt. Carl Nordahl, of the Glee Club, ofl ' ercd a song. The entire program 144 was written by Mr. Bergen, and credit for this educational program should go to him. Mark Russo directed the music. .• t the end of the school year, members were once more able to take the oral section of the license e.xamination through the High- way Safety Club. Those who passed this test had to take only the driving section of the Registry examination when they applied for a licen.se. To climax the year, driver reaction tests were once more given to the members. Although some credit is due the Club efiiccrs-Robinson, Cunningham, Kelly, Brady and Silva and the members of the Executive Board White, Pitotsky, Simehes, and Weiner, most .should go to the Faculty Adviser, Mr. William B. Bergen, who, in his first year as spon.sor of the Highway Safety Club, has, with his untiring effort, made the Club one of Latin School’s most activ ' e and progressive organizations. Fir.

IT) Modern History Club Prcsdnit Burton Sciiwalr u (’-President David Cantor Seeretary Samuel Fish ' J ' readuer Edwin Tolman In a year highlighted by great historic happenings, the Modern History Club again conducted a very active program. Although its meetings were held only infrcquentlv because of the after-school classes for Seniors, the (juality of the Club did not lessen. The opening meeting featured an inform- ative talk by Mr. Pearson on the electoral system. The Eisenhower-Stevenson debate, held during the second meeting, was one of the most colorful and enjoyable events of the year. The controversial investigations of Senator McCarthy also provided material for a hotly contested debate. To supplement these major happenings, papers and discuss- ion, prepared by the members on historically important current events, were frequently given. 146 New features introduced by the President included the showing of motion pictures and the keeping of a Current Events Notebook. Gerard Bemis, Harold Partamian, Michael Factor, and Harvey Grasfield were respon- sible for the organization of the book. The Club’s successful year was due to the guiding effort of Mr. Pearson and the spirit of co-operation of the members. Members who were noted as most zealous and diligent in the activities of the Club include Morris Goldings, Edward Cohen, Joshua Kaplan, Marshall Lifson, James Gibbons, Irwin Boris, and Stephen Stearns.

Among the most prominent fea- tures were stamp auctions, quizzes, talks, and an extensive trading program. Outstanding members who either gave talks or conducted quizzes are John Dasey, Jason Berger, Gediminas Sveikauskas, Davad Shapiro, Christos Ale.x, and Robert Freed- man. d ' he talks were on such important philatelic subjects as “First-Day Covers,” “Pre-Cancels,” “Rare Stamps,” and “The World’s Rarest Stamp.” The quizzes were given on the various topics which make stamp-collecting interesting. The less-exper- ienced members of the Club profited much from these informative presentations. 148 I’he Stamp Club had the privilege of N])onsoring one of the best and most im- portant activities in the history of school clubs. This was a donation of stamps to the Kingbridge V ' eterans’ Hospital in the Bronx, New York. The officers of this Club collected over 2000 stamps, which were given by the members. The soldiers at the Hospital re- ceived them gladly and derived long hours of pleasure from the generosity of Latin School Boys. The members of the Club are grateful to Mr. McGuffin for effort, time, and patience spent to make the Stamp Club the success that it is. Mr. McGuffin has done much to make this “hobby of kings” more ( njoyablc to the student of this school. Fir.- t Row: (iolilh erg. Dailey, Cutter. Alex. Cant ' )r. Mr. McCiitiin.

It brought to the student body a program of activities illustrating basic principles of avi- ation. Technical lectures were delivered by the better-informed members of the Club, while, in addition, the entire group parti- cipated in discussions of the theory of flight and the art of modelling. Demonstrations of model aircraft were frequently given. - visual education jrrogram was under- taken in order to illustrate the complicated operation, iicrformancc, and importance of the air]flane in the “air age.” Much of the success of the Club during this vear is due to the excellent guidance of Mr. Mur]rhy. who reidaccd Mr. Bowers as faculty adviser. 150 First Row: Rudman, Fox, Forgione.

Camera Club The Camera Club, in keeping with its purpose of helping those students who wish to further their skills in photography, pre- sented a program of instruction which cov- ered the fields of picture-taking, developing, and printing. This year’s Club meetings were highlight- ed by a special course illustrated by colored slides shown by a special arrangement with the Eastman Kodak Company. The first slide, “How to Develop and Print Pictures,” not only showed the mechanics of the pro- ce.ss involved in making a picture, but also explained the general theory behind all pho- tography, that is, the relation of the negative and positive images. From this simple be- ginning, the course soon assumed a more comjjlicated aspect. To explain the mys- teries of exposure and composition, another slide lecture was given on “How to Take Good Pictures.” It was felt that the mem- bers benefited greatly from the simple graph- ic lessons.

Debating Club in the pa,st, the members of the Debat- ing Club this year conducted an active and varied jjrogram of intramural debates and forums. In addition to the work done dur- ing regular meetings, several programs were presented in the Assembly Hall for the ben- efit of the student body. These town-meet- ing forums had topics such as the direct election of the President, election of Massa- chusetts judges, and lowering of the voting age to eighteen. The first of these was re- corded and later broadcast as yjart of the Boston Public Schools’ Radio Hour series. All of them, in addition to providing de- bating experience, enabled boys of all class- es to gain better understanding of important current issues. Under the able direction of its sponsor. Mr. P rank J. Sidlivan, the Club also provid- ed its members with instruction in debating and jxublic-spcaking technic|ues. Such train- ing. together with the speaking practice which members had, is expected to prove itself ver - valuable to all the boys who j)ar- ticipated. President Marc H.

Gulesian Faculty Adviser Mr. EmvARD Donah iie One again this year, the activities of the Dramatics Club were confined to the tech- nical and mechanical aspects of play pro- duction. A group of boys interested in the theatre served on the school’s stage crew and thus were able to gain an insight into the complex behind-the-scenes work reejuired by any play. In addition to the problems of “running a show,” such matters as set con- struction, lighting design, and make-up were also explained to the members of the crew. The Club’s work was not all theoretical, however, for the boys were given many opportunities to make actual use ot their knowledge. They provided assistance at school assemblies and at all other jjrograms jjresented in our hall. By means of this ])rac- tical cxjiericnce, the boys were able to de- velop their theatrical skills even further. Certainly, every one who ]iarticipated in the jjrogram profited greatly from it. Thanks arc due, of course, to Mr. Edward Donahue, the sponsor of the Dramatics Club, for the in- alu.ible assistance which he oifered through- out the season. 1, ' )4 Firxt Row.

Since the school curriculum does not include such training, the experi- ence was invaluable. At the meetings, which were in reality after-school classes, boys learned the rudi- ments of music and poetry techniciuc, in order that each might learn to appreciate a true masterpiece. The assistance of Mr, Jul- ius Finn, the Faculty Adviser, w ' as invaluable to the members and officers in developing and nurturing an interest in the arts. He deserves their sincere thanks.

Geography Club President Loren Waldman I ' ice-President Elliot Bird Secretary Rorert Kaplan Assistant Secretary Al.an Kapl.an Although in only its second year of exist- ence, the Geography Club has had a suc- cess which puts to shame many of the older and better-established clubs. Begun in 19, ' tl, the Club offers to members of Class VI an opportunity to study geo-politics and its re- lation to world affairs. Mr. Avery, the faculty adviser, planned this year’s interesting program of events. During the school year, movdes and slides illustrating many phases of geography were shown. Field trips, organized by the mem- bers, included a visit to the State House, the ■Airport, the Science Museum, the Museum of Fine Arts, and the Baker’s Chocolate Plant. The Club also debated and discussed the position of the United States in Korea. Idle Club’s success was due not only to the active participation of its members, but also to the patience and aid of its advi.ser, Mr. Avery, who worked tirelessly for the benefit of the members. 1.56 First Row.

This year, a novelty was introduced into the program of the Club. Not only were speeches given on subjects concerning the literature and culture of Germany, but also selected members were requested to give their opinions of Germany’s political statu. ' - ' . Certain “radicals” must hav ' e been waiting for such an opportunity to give others “a piece of their mind.” Naturally, heated de- bate ensued, every time. At the end of such a debate, Mr. Mosher would introduce a compromise acceptable to both factions, and all but a few would leave the meeting with an expression of satisfaction on their faces. The senior members of the Club remain thankful to Dr. Galline for his constant de- votion to the Club during the many years that have passed and wish to express their thanks to Mr. Mosher, the new adviser, for his efforts to keep the German Club an or- ganization of high calibre.

Greek Once again, the Greek Club carried on a varied program to stimulate the interest of its members in Greek art, customs, drama, life, language, and literature. This year, the Club celebrated its third anniversary, under the guidance of a new faculty adviser, Mr, James Locke, and enjoyed one of its most successful seasons. The highlights of this year’s program con- sisted of themes delivered by its members and by distinguished guests. The Club was fortunate to hear an informative talk by the Honorable Basil Calevras, the Greek Consul of New England; and to listen to Mr. John E. Rexine, a B.L.S. graduate, a holder of the Fulbright Scholarship at Harvard Uni- versity, who spoke on “The Trial of Socra- tes.” Among other talks given during the year were “The History of the Greek Alpha- bet,” The Greek Orthodox Church,” “The Athenian Code of Laws,” “The Olympic Games,” “The Story of the Iliad,” “The Lives of Great Ancient Personalities,” and manv more.

Latin Club President Ch.xrles Segal dce-President Isaac Druker Secretary Ch.arles Berlin Treasurer Malcolm Elias The Latin Club of 1952-1953 enjoyed a ino.st ,succes.sful and fruitful year. Lender the guidance of Mr. Miller — the enthusiastic laculty sponsor who gave to the Club un- stintingly of his time, advice and energy — and under its capable officers, the Latin Club offered its members a varied and attractive program of etymology, mythology, and Ro- man culture. President Segal lectured on etymology, and Secretary Berlin on derivation. Mythological anacrostics were conducted by the President and Cohen. Falks were gi ' en on Cicero, Manilian law, Pompeii, Roman Roads, . cjueducts, and the Jugurthine War. Two films dejiicting ancient and modern Rome were shown to the members. Because of their active interest in the Latin Club, the following members were appointed to the Program Committee: Cohen. Dori- r ' an, Solomon, of Class II; and Geller of Cfiass III. It is hoped that in future years the Latin Club will continue to stimulate and instill in its members an appreciation for Latin and Roman language and culture. 160 Firtit R(jW. Heifetz, Hailer.

Literary Club This year, the Literary Club abandoned its customary procedure of reviewing an l criticizing books and plays. In place of the old program, there was substituted a scries of discussions which traced English literature from the time of the Anglo-Saxon writers. The Club became even more radical when it added etymology and vocabulary to its pro- gram. This new feature is expected to aid the boys in preparation for the Scholastic Aptitude Tests. Thomas Hegarty gave the first talk of the year on the Anglo-Saxon period in English literature, and other interested Club mem- bers discussed the other epochs in order of time. In mid-January, Joshua Kaplan con- ducted the first vocabulary quiz, which Dr. Callanan, the Faculty Advi.ser graciously furnished to the Club. The oflTicers hope that, in succeeding years, the new program will be continued and ex- panded. They also join with the members of the Club in extending sinccrest thanks to Dr. Callanan, wTose untiring eflforts were responsible for the success of the Literary Club this year as in the past.

Mathematics Club President Melvyn Snyder ] ' ice-President Edw. rd Crowley Secretary Walter Silva Treasury Gene Weiner Sergeant-at-Arms William O’Rolirke The Mathematics Club was founded some years ago for the purpose of helping and en- couraging boys interested in mathematics. In recent years, the custom has been to discuss and e.xplain topics outside the regular school curriculum in mathematics. The first topic undertaken this year wa. a study of the slide rule. Informative lectures were given by the members on the theory and varied uses of the indispensable “slip-stick.” Later, the Club learned more about descrip- tive geometry. In a large measure, the succe.ss of the Club is due to Mr. Arnold Grcenhalge, faculty adviser of the group, whose helpful suggestions and extensive explanations were a consta nt source of knowledge. The Club prides itself on the fact that every member had an opportunity to dcveloji mathematical skills and that boys in Class I soon found that the instructions given at the meetings vsc ' re an invaluable aid in their studies. 1G2 FirKt Row.

The aim of the Club is to acejuaint students with the “how” and the “why” of weather. In order to create interest in this subject, simplified explanations of the functions of weather-forecasting were given by Dailey, Hailer, and the Faculty Adviser, Mr. DufTy. To stimulate further interest, the Club pre- •sented motion pictures on the practical application of weather-forecasting. In the future, the Club’s plans include an ever-widening sphere of endeavor in the ' many phases of meteorology, from the ele- ment of instrument-reading to the more complex matter of artificial precipitation.

Radio Club The Radio Club, which is subdivided into the Morse Code Club and the Amateur Radio Society, has reached a position of pre- eminence among the radio clubs in greater Boston during the three years in which it has operated under its present constitution. Ai the time of this writing, conservative esti- mates place the number of licensed amateur radio operators who will have been turned out by the time of the June graduation at nearly seven score. The encouraging note is that most of these boys are of the lower classes and will remain to carry on as club leaders long after the present officers have graduated. The rewards for hard work in the organiz- ation come to the club in the pleasure they receive from associating with Radio Ama- teurs throughout the world, to whom they speak via their Radio Station WITEM.

Levenson I ' ice-President Donald Evans Secretary Vincent Falcone Treasurer Paul S. Janjigian The members of the Re d Cross Club this year participated actively in various pro- grams sponsored by the Boston Metropolitan Chapter of the American Red Cross. In addition to conducting the Annual Junior Red Cross Fund Campaign in our own school, the boys served as volunteer workers at the Massachirsetts Regional Blood Center and as staff a.ssistants at the Red Cross Chapter House. The Club also sent represent- atives to the meetings of the Junior Red Cross High School Council of the Boston Chapter. Our group was thus able to work with similar organizations in other schools. . t the Club’s opening meeting of the season, the members, each of whom rep- resented his homeroom, were given an outline of the purposes and programs of the Ameri- can Junior Red Cross and of its international parent body. Thanks are due Mr. William Powers, who guided and aided the group in all its under- takings. 166 First Row: Solomon, Goldberg. Grasfield. Shuman, Si)illane. Kolodny, Putter. Brofman. Harris.

Sailing The purpose of the Sailing Club is to pro- mote an interest in the sport, so that members will take advantage of the Boston Park De- partment sailing facilities. During the past year, qualified members di.scussed various phases of the handling, navigation, and racing of small boats. Through the efforts of the Club and its officers, many excellent films were secured to illustrate these discussions. Thanks for the success of the Club, which is in only its second year, are due to Mr. Pheeny, the Faculty sponsor, for the time he has devoted to the club. Club President ' ice-President ....

Science Fiction Club t his year saw the founding and organiz- ation of a new club in the Latin School — the Science-Fiction Club. The purpose of this group is to advance and increase an understanding of the combined fields of science-fiction and fantasy, and at the same time to supply adequate copies of de.sired magazines and books for the member’s en- joyment. The highlights of the year’s activities were mainly in the form of lectures, debates, and discussions. Included in these was a talk on the treatment of future society in the books “Brave New World,” by Aldous Huxley, and “Earth Abides,” by George R. Stewart. Discicssions on both space and time travel were featured also. A good-sized library was built up both bv contributions from the members and bv purchases made during the year. The success of the library, as well as all other under- takings of the Club, was due in great measure to the able adviser and founder of the Club, Mr. McNamara. President Robert J. Swartz I’ice-President Thomas P. Carrigan Secretary Saul B. Troen Treasurer Alan J. Ward Librarian Roger N. Millen 169 Musical Organizations As in past years, the musical groups played an important part in the success of Latin Scliool activities. The organizations — the Orchestra, the Band, and the Bugle and Drum Corps — lent color to the events of the year by their excellently p erformed num- bi ' i ' s, suited to the tenor of the event. Boston Latin School maintains its Orches- tra for those boys who are interested in the classical and symphonic types of music. L ' nder the patient tutelage of Mr. Joseph A. Trongone, the boys of the Orchestra re- hc ' arsed long and well to present the credit- able performances giv ' en at the school’s time- honored assemblies. As a further honor to the Orchestra, many of its members were espec- ially selected to play in the Boston Public School Senior Symphony Orchestra and the . 11-State Orchestra. The Band, for its initial parformance, put on a stirring exhibition at the Latin-English lootball game. In addition to playing at various school assemblies, the Band climaxed the year’s activities at the annual Prize Drill Exercises and in the Schoolboy Parade, in which it copped top honors. Mr. Joseph Trongone — - who generously took over the Band at the death of Mr. Sordillo, its long- time leader and mentor — and Captains . lan Levenson and William Welch are to be complimented for the outstanding showing of the group. The Bugle and Drum Corps, which de- lighted the School with its performance on Prize Day, performed its traditional function with credit on the day of the highly com- {)ctitive Schoolboy Parade, when for the third year it won the title of “the best schoolboy Drum and Bugle Corps.” Credit is due to Mr. Joseph Donovan, its leader, and to Cap- tains Myron Cohen and Joseph Me A -o -.
