DOYLE Headmaster’s Message Each year, throughout this nation of ours, a new group is added to the ever-growing army of those who have finished their secondary school education. You have now joined this vast horde. But you are a very special group. You are i)roducts of the olde.st public secondary school in these United States. You are graduates of a school which for three hundred twenty-one years has held rigidly to the purpose foi- which it was tir.st founded, that of preparing its graduates for college. The Boston Latin School is world-famous for its classical courses of study and its rigorous standards of discipline. Our alumni throughout the years have brought great glory to their Alma Mater by their great successes in their chosen field. They did not attain these successes by chance. Each one of them achieved his present position by hard work and unfailing devotion to the principles which the Masters in this school tried to hold eternally before them. Not one of our famous sons was satisfied with mediocrity. Unfortunately, this mediocrity of which I speak has become the curse of our present way of life. So many of our contemporaries seem to be satisfied with ju.st getting by. You yourselves have shown signs that this disease has affected you. Many of those who entered with you fell by the wayside. They were infected and succumbed; you were exposed, shook off the infection, and recovered. You have proved your worth. You have conquered yourselves, your handicaps, and your disappointments. You have persevered where others have failed. Now you .stand at the threshold of even a greater challenge. If you follow in the footsteps of the thousands of boys who have left these halls in bygone years, you will go on to college. You will .still be faced with many difficulties. Whether you succeed or not is strictly up to you. If you are satisfied with mediocrity, your life in college can be easy and pleasant. If you want to stand out, to be a leader, to gain for yourself an honored place in society, you miust re- solve now to use every ounce of will, energy, and intellect you possess to reach the goal. Set your sights high and never waver in your course. We are proud to welcome you into the ranks of our Alumni. We want to be more proud of you in the years to come. We want to receive word that you are on the Dean’s List, that you are leaders in college activities, and in later years that you are successful in your chosen field. You can do it. You have been given the training necessary to carry out any program you choose. Use it. Work hard, scorn miediocrity, and we shall be happy to acclaim you as one of our worthy graduates. CONTENTS FACULTY SENIORS ACTIVITIES .... ATHLETICS .... ORGANIZATIONS FOREWORD P or a period of 321 years the Boston Latin School has jjro- vided a classical background for countless students. Many of its grad- uates have achieved lofty positions in busine.ss, politics, the learned profe.ssions, and the arts. Perhaps no alumnus who has received his entire formal education from this school has left so indelible a mark on so many fields as Benjamin I- ranklin. When people hear the name of Benjamin P ranklin, some immediately think of the man who risked his life with the kite, key, and string in a thunder.storm to prove a theory; others think of the states- man, through whose untiring efforts France entered the Revolutionary War on the side of the Colonies; .still others think of the witty pub- lisher, whose “Poor Richard’s Almanac’’ informed and entertained a new nation. Surprisingly enough, these are only a few of Mr. Frank- lin’s accomplishments. He has contributed much to literature, educa- tion, science, civil reform, and even sports; and has well deserved the honor of being called one of America’s founding fathers. We, the Class of ’56, to commemorate the great man, are including in our yearbook some significant excerpts from his life and letters. Surely he was one of hi.story’s most inspiring examples of individuality and ingenuity. TMT . ha ' s sVrange ; � t ujorV«,e i be We. ‘ Beujare of The Tencier T� -ap Brother Pau.

IRONS Hriii) of 1 ( ' port mcxt The chief aim of the English department is to enable puiiils to use their language correctly through work in gi ' ammar and composition. It also tries to inculcate a love of reading in the pupils by the study and inter- pi-etation of many of the great books of our literature. I ' he English department takes special pride in the out.standing record of the “Register” in the national competition conducted by the Columbia Schola.stic Press Association. For eleven successive years the “Register,” under the dii-ection of Mr. Marson, has led all other schools in its class (1500-2500 pupils) and gained the coveted Medali.st award (a special prize for unusual di.stinction) six times. Another feature of the work of the English depart- ment has been the Declamation program, which has been carried on almost from the earliest days of the school. Each boy may compete with other boys five times a year, before three teachers, for the pri ilege of speak- ing in the Public Declamations, which occur five times a year and a)‘e o])en to jiarents and friends. Twelve or more of those speakers adjudged the best are selected for the Annual Prize in May. A combination of the school marks with the marks of judges selected from distinguished graduates determines the award of prizes. Mr. Jameson, Mr. Nelville. and Mr. Frank E. Sullivan, who have had charge of the Declamation program in recent years, have kept uj) the high standards of their predecessors. First Row: Messrs. Neville. O’Keefe, Russd, Irons (Dept. Head).

Specific aims include the ability to i;ronounce and read Latin; the ac([uisition of a Latin vocabulaiw ; the mastery of Latin foimis; the abil- ity to apply simple, fundamental rules of syntax; the ability to turn English sentences into Latin; and the ability to translate easy Latin at si ht. The more genei ' al aims are accomplished through the study of Latin and Latin authoi ' s. One of these is the increased ability in the use of English, with a better understanding of vocab- ulary and a knowlcffge of the simpler principles of lan- guage structure. This accomijlishment should biing about also a greater ability to learn other foreign languages, Erom the study of Latin authors should come the de- velopment of a historical and cultural background with (a) increased knowledge of the life, hi.story, and institu- tions of the Romans; (b) an api reciation of Roman influence on Western civilization; and (c) a broader understanding of social and ])olitical problems of today. From the study of Roman literature there should also come about the develoi)ment of a right attitude toward social relations: service, self-sacrifice, patriotism, honor, respect for authority, self-control, love foi ' law and order, loyalty, courage, and the like. Finally, the study of Latin should bring about the development of good mental habits, such as accuracy, thoroughness, logical thinking, sustained attention, jjer- severance in the face of difliculties, and dissatisfaction with failure or with only partial success.

KOZODOY (III 1)1 l)i ' j)arliiii ' iil MATHEMATICS DEPARTMENT ] Iathematic.s has been an integral part of the course of study at Boston Latin School throughout its long and l)roud history. Today, more than ever, we find that a knowledge of the fundamentals of this subject is of utmost importance lo the educated person. In nearly all tields of endeavor, the influence of mathematical methods makes itself felt more and more. The various courses in mathematics offered in the school have as an initial goal inculcation of orderly habits of neatness and accuracy in the student’s work and in his thinking. In this subject, logical sequential thought is the core of the course. Beyond this, there is to be found in all phases of the coui’ses in mathematics a continuing stress on the interdependence of cause and effect, on the development of the ability to determine ultimate conclusions from known data. For those students who demonstrate superior mathe- matical competence and power as well as the inclina- tion to study beyond the minimum requirements, there exists a course which prepares candidates for admission lo technical institutes. The growing and urgent demand for trained technicians and technologists with a good mathematical backgi’ound has resulted in a continuing search for ways and means to increase the scope and content of mathematics courses at the secondary school level. A start has been made in this direction in our school. It is the hope of the [Mathematics Department that revisions in the curriculum will enable our pupils in the jiear future to enter college with sufficient preparation to permit them to begin at a higher level in college courses than is presently possible. It is ecjually our hope that his may be effected within the general framework of the traditional training upon which the fame of our school rests. First Row; Messrs.

GERMAN At the end of the freshman year all l)oys must make a choice for Class III between the two electives, Greek and German. Roughly speaking, three out of four boys elect German, which they must then study tor at least two years. In the Senior year German becomes an elective. Usually about thirty boys continue the study for the third year. These boys, who have shown lu’ohciency in the language, prepare them.selves by diligent work to win extremely high marks in the German Achievement Test for college entrance and to obtain scholarshii) awards. Of the class of 1954 more than fifty per cent of the Senior German class continued successfully the study of the language at c(rllege. Roys of only two years’ prep- aration have also been able to continue the .study — especially at M.I.T., where, after a refresher course, they proceed with the work in scientific German. The good results prove that, during the two years of preparation in German, great efforts are made by mas- ters in the German Department to give a sound founda- tion in basic vocabulary and elementary grammar. Pu- pils are taught, by con.stant jjractice, to read and write the language and, by means of easy conversation and special language records, to understand and speak it. The German Department insi.sts that boys also learn the e.ssentials of geography and culture in Germany and follow pertinent current events. The German Club, sponsored by Mr. Herbert Zoll, but run by the boys themselves, presents programs of in- terest to students of German. Members listen to speak- ers, see films, and read news])apers to make their meet- ings worthwhile. Mli. VAX STEEXHEIUiEX Head of Deparfmenf ( First Row: Messrs. Weinert, Van Steenbergen (Dept.

LEVINE H ) iil of I r iKiit FRENCH ' riu ' Fi’ench Department has always been faced with two prol)Ienis: the first, that every student in our cho d is re(iuired to take French foi’ three years; the second, that a comparatively small number will choose the elec- tive Senior Fi-ench course. V’or the first three years the hb ' ench teachers strive to give students a sf)und under- standing of basic French, which consists of the gram- matical constructions of the language, the useful vocab- ulary of every-day life, necessary verb work, and the ability to understand S])oken French and to use it in ordinary conversation. The reciuired textual reading helixs to broaden the .student’s ho)-izon with reg:ard t(j the history, geogra])hy, and social life of France. In the fourth year of French the student is preparing for the College Board Achievement Test: and, he is gaining, in addition, proficiency in oral woid , in-omoted partly by the use of s])ecial phom-graph records. The “Cercle Francais, an extracurricular activity — with otticers chosen from the fourth-year students, but with many members from the three-year boys — has helped to bring honors to the French Department. Some of our outstanding students have been presidents of the French clubs of Harvard, Boston College, and Brandeis; and one of our to]) students won tir.st prize in the New England contest of the American Association of Teachers ' of French. At present we have two of our former .stu- dents on the faculty of the Pb’ench dei)artments of Har- vard and Bo. ton College. First Row: Messrs. Fitz( ieiald, Levine (Dept. Head), Sculfv, MeCiiLlin.

I HISTORY The orfranizntion of the Itoston Latin School hy de- partments allows and enconraKes specialization within : a certain area of educational activity, but collectively the several departments should strive to achieve the common objective of a liberal arts education. 1 Traditionally, history is one of the humanities, and necessarily the teaching of history is part of a genei ' al i ro- gram directed toward the education of the free man. The his- tory department, in this common endeavor has established specific objectives: (1) to encoui-age a critical approach lo the problems of history, (2) to present history as a dynamic subject, (3) to encourage independent reading and exploratory work beyond routine assignments, (4) I to develop the ability to interpret the present in the light i of past experiences, and (5) to train young men for the I duties and obligations of citizenship. At the same time, i the uniciue character of this school thrusts upon us a peculiar responsibility. We are training not only for citizenship but for leadership. Generations of leaders who have attended the Boston Latin School remind us j of the school’s great and challenging mission in this democracy. I In recen t years many students in the history depart- ment have brought honor to the school and to them- selves. Each year since 1947 a Latin School boy has won first prize in the Hearst American History Contest, and, for the past four years with the exception of one year, first prize in the Massachusetts Federation of Labor Conte,st. In the College Board examinations the results i have been creditable and satisfying. The Head of the history department appreciates the unselfish assistance and cooperation given him by the masters within the department. First Row: Messrs. Barry, Sullivan, Godfrey, Pearson (Dept.

CARROLL Hrad of I U jxtrtmcnt SCIENCE Four years of science are offered at Boston Latin School. In Class VI, science is mainly physiology and hygiene. Topics considered are composition and struc- ture of the body and the hygienic principles and prac- tices of good living in school and at home. Science, offered also in Class V, is usually called Gen- eral Science. The subject area deals with the materials and forces of Nature and Man’s utilization of them. Lec- ture demonstrations on such topics as air, water, weather, climate, heat, light, and sound illustrate basic principles. In the Senior year both physics and chemistry are offered. Classes are held five periods per week, including one devoted to laboratory work. Topics considered in physics include machines, heat, electricity, light, and sound. Chemistry deals with matter and its changes. Fun- damental laws and theories of chemistry, metals and non-metals, acids, bases, and salts, certain organic com- pounds, and related mathematical problems are some of the areas considered. IModern life and jirofessional training requires a good background in science for proper appreciation of prog- ress and invention. In fields such as medicine, dentistry, and engineering, scientific background is a prerequisite. B.L.S. students who hope to enter these vocations get good training. In addition to formal courses, the annual Boston Sci- ence Fair, IMassachusetts Science Fair, and similar activ- ities give students great oi)portunities to develop projects of their own intere.st and design. The Boston Latin School Science Club is an organization which permits students to discuss, consider, and demonstrate many subjects in which they are particularly intere.sted.

W’e, the clas.s of 1956, are gi’ateful for the good fortune to (lave had a.s our ma.ster.s during this past .rear men who have not only taught us academic subjects, but have been counselors and friends. Their advice and precepts have helped us through a most trying year, jind their understanding and insight have enabled us to overcome the many obstacles of our senior year. Without their help, our task would have been immeasurably greater. For us to repay them in some material sense is, of course, impossible. We can, however, do this by living up to the high ideals and principles which they themselves have exemplified and set before us.

The Latin Scho(d training has given gon the goirer; nse it.” Owing to the natural superiority ( f the “Better Boys, Room :;01 once again proved to be tlie outstanding homeroom of Sehola Latina. The students of French and Oreek led all other rooms in scholarships, prizes, and s])ecial awards. Our room motto was “Next year at Harvard.” The conhnes of 301 still echo with the sly. subtle witticisms of Rothenberg; and many a 301’er was heard to say, “Where’s Ladoulis now?” Carney Gavin, our ambassador to 306. was often heard orating or chuckling at IMr. Dolan’s dry humoi-. We still have the desk Joe Mooney wrecked during a history test and the memories of such illus- trious characters as “Beauvine.” Dick Segal, and his treatise on “The Mating Habits of the Australian Ants;” Tvlike Xieland, roving p’notog- rapher; and Nick Dushku and his memorable rendition of “To be or not to be.” Desi)ite our superior self-exi)ression. we still are indebted to our excellent masters. Few of us will forget the “Pi-ca-yu-nishin-co- he-ren-ces” of Mr. Russo or IMr. Dolan’s British-.style humor. We can still hear “Muzzey” saying. “Don’t ori v aln)ut a te.st : ahem, just keep your notebooks up to date:” or IMr. Carroll: “Engineers make good money . . . P rench interi)reters : mmm, very little demand for ’em.” To our homeroom ma.stei’, Mr. Le ine, we are especially grate- ful for his ceaseless efforts to teach us “the greatest French story of all time” and to make us “an exam])le for all other homerooms to follow.” Class Scribe: DAVID SPIEL 302 FRANCIS PATRICK HENNESSEY, A.B., Ed.M. Mathematics 1929 — ad midtos annos “Be Kiucerc.” Before we — the country-clubbers of 302 — leave for the Nation- al Open Golf Tournament, let us put down our golf-bags and recall for a moment the masters that made life pleasant in our last year at B.L.S. First of all, we offer our sincere thanks to Mr. Hennessey, who was not only a diligent math teacher, but also a patient counselor of the class. Can any one forget his daily greeting: “Did you get your ticket?” Although none of the “Americans of 214” ever got a chance at the $64, 000-question for their knowledge of American history, they will never forget Queen Liliuokalani of Ha-wa-ya. Nevertheless, Mr. Nemzoff has our nomination for the Nobel Prize, since he is the only man who can get 2000 “catch-words” from a 1500-word chapter. We extend our deepest appreciation to “Mr. Science Fiction”; for, while several of the “amiable bandits” had to settle for Harvard, at least no one — not even “The Agitator” — ended the year “hunched- backed.” Although impeded by his rigid bedtime schedule, Mr. Locke finally succeeded in enlightening the class as to whose face launched those thousand ships. — Whose? P-A-I-COS’S. Finally, let us recall the “old man on the bridge.” Although all the “buckeroos” and “ginks” found his physics test a challenge, they didn’t compare with those “pea-soiq) fogs” in which some one stole “Nate” Brown’s pants. . . . It’s all over now but the shouting. Class Snihes: TIM PHFLAN LARRY PFRLMUTER P.S. We sincerely hope that Frank’s frost-bite is much better. 303 Latin “Life is far too short and niuch too complex to give it less than gonr venj best.” PETER FRANCIS DOLAN, A M. 1938 — ad multos annos Th e budding geniuse.s of 303 have had presumably their last year in the Latin School further complicated by the presence of such illustrious masters as “Uncle Paul” Boylan and his 30-point “quickies” for chem- istry; “Uave” Miller, to whom we leave (a) life without Soble and (b) the hope that some year he will get a la Latin class: Mr. Bergen, to whom it was “all cut and dried ; Dr. McCarthy, whose pleasant demeanor made us “Wise Guy Seniors” feel at home; and, finally, Mr. Carroll, who is still attempting to pound the “Heat Sheet” into our heads. Titles have been bestowed on special members of the class: Coolest — Victor Palaza Most C(dlegiate — Ken Robinson Strongest — Lew Schwartz U.N. Delegate — Janjigian Funniest — Ed Whalen Smallest — Tony Piraino We wish to thank our homeroom master, Mr. Dolan, for his guidance and hard work on our behalf. Class Scribes: FREDERIC MARKET KENNETH ROBINSON 304 GORDON FREDERICK IRONS, A M.. Ed.M. English Department Head 1948 — ad multos annos “OpportimU n conies to all. Be readit fhroii( h noirk and education to make the most of it.” Room 304 has left its indelible mark on the school. Congratula- tory messages from Reykjavik, Pyongyang, Galway, and East Berlin have been received: but let us give due praise to our long-suffering masters. Because the class had chosen chemistry as its fifth subject, the boys were split into two groups (one luckier than the other). One “bunch of flannelmoLiths” assembled for class under the inspiring direction of the one and only Mr. Shea. In his laboartory every one acquired a knack for doing things “the Navy way.” The rest of the room gathered with Mr. Thompson in the room with the bottle of KIX on the shelf and learned that with a teaspoon of starch, a blowgun, and a bright blue flame, it is possible to singe the eyebrows of the lad in the first seat without even waking him. History was taught by that “loose constructionist” of 208 — “Muzz” Pearson. Among the known facts brought up was that the second chorus of “Rally round the flag, boys” was a significant result of the Civil War, according to ’’source material.” We shall try to forget Mr. Pearson’s quizzes on Canfleld, Faulkner, Dorf, Magruder, Survey Terms, Economics, Political Terms, and Current Events (whew!) ; but we shall never forget the work we put in and the results achieved. Mr. Boylan, the genial master of ceremonies on the “Something for Nothing” show, tried to acquaint us with a smattering of physics. Indeed, Russia’s lead in scientific achievements is in jeopardy while this modern Lavoisier continues to influence young men to pursue a scientific career. Our Latin periods were spent in 335, where we were exposed to an intricate system of 1-4’s, 2-3’s, and a b c !: d’s (answers to daily choice tests). “Hoppy’s” horribly horrornym sheets provided much entertain- ment for the class. To Mr. Lyons, our homeroom master and English teacher, we give heartfelt thanks — not only for his patient understanding, but also for his dry, subtle humor that has carried us through a most trying yet enjoyable year. 23 I Class Scribe: PETER CONLEY 307 THOMAS WILLIAM SHEEHAN, A M.

Room 307 or “Club 307”, as it came to be known, has been the nerve center for the Class of ’50. Although not given to bragging. Club 307 — when confronted with the facts — has to admit being the l est home- room ever to grace the Boston Latin School. Providing innumerable greats in all fields, the Club was resplendent with i)ersonalities. We were fortunate in having Mr. Thomas Sheehan as both English master and homeroom moderator. If ever a teacher had a pi’o- found effect on his pupils, Mr. Sheehan, by his wisdom and humor, is that one. In return, we hope we have not disaipminted our beloved master. For a course comjdete in every requirement of mathematics, we owe Mr. Peter Kozodoy richly deserved thanks. Under his guidance, we liraved the rigors of Math I and found that, with such a thorough back- ground, we had little trouble with “Ye Old C.E.E.B. For an interesting course in both American and World History, 307 is indeljted to Mr. Aaron Gordon, whose “fantastic stories” and “fascinating individuals” will never be forgotten.

Many of us were on athletic teams, and almost every one was active in some way on some club or committee. We take this opportunity to extend our thanks to Dr. Callanan, who attempted to instruct those “rascals” who could not “keep their heads shut as to their mouths.” . . . Mr. Liberfarb deserves great admiration for trying to cram a ten-year course in specific gravity into a few months. We also hope that at some future date he will receive his full-time lab assistant, who knows how to set up experiments other than those on mechanics. . . . Mr. Murphy we leave with the hope that some “block- head” will wake up and do something about the plight of the teacher. . . . We hope “J. Cicero” Cleary will be fortunate enough to have another class like ours, which appreciates the Classics (other than comic books) and recites the Aeneid or sings Schola Latina while traveling home on the dependable M.T.A.

And now, cats, to the clinking of keys and the rattling of empty kettles, let’s clean out ! to a chcrus of “Chain Gang.’’ Wanted by the real gone Gordie: a box of cough dro])s for Title- bomb. Also wanted: an explanation for the unusually high marks in the last multiple-choice test. Before we, the class scribes, respectfully submit ourselves to the horrors of Phys. Ed., we must convey our gratitude to Oozer (or is it Ozzer) for his invaluable aid in 319. Class Scribes: ROBERT WEINER MICHAEL S.

Ozer William Seejjraber Kenneth J Robinson 130 President’s Message Mr. Doyle, Mr. Richard, members of the faculty, friends, and last, but not least, classmates : The long- desired moment of every Latin School boy is rajudly approaching for us, the C ' lass of 195G. In a relatively short time, we shall 1 ‘eceive the diplomas for which we have struggled, lo! these many years. And, with the reception cf the diploma we shall leave this hall and the portals of Alma Mater — members, at last, of the Alumni of the old School. The Boston Latin School, where we have spent so many of our formative years, is owed a debt by all of us that we shall have a difficult task to repay. Our heartfelt thanks must be expressed for the solid foundation which our masters and advisers have given us. We hope that these men, whose efforts to instill in us a love of learning as well as the subject-matter, realize that we feel they have done a good job. On behalf of the class, 1 thank our parents for guiding us not only to partake of the Pierian Spring cf our School, but also for encourag- ing us to put forth our best efforts when the results of our schoolwork were not outstanding. As we look back cn what has happened during the years here, we cannot but remember a world filled with strife, with intrigue, and without consideration for the standards by which men once lived. During our entire lifetime we have seen nothing but wars and revolutions, and we have seen psychological warfare brought home to us. Nevertheless, we have also seen the dawning of a new age. Space and time are not words, but concepts — with the development of the atom bomb and of automation the work of the future. In spite of the strife, never was life more challenging and never more filled with opportunity for us. Our heritage can be seen in the names on the frieze of this Hall. We, the Class of 1956, look with confidence and faith to the future; and we have the courage to contribute to the future which shines beyond the dark clouds.

Two hundred thirt.v-live hleary-eyed ■senior.s of the never-to-be-forgotten Class of ’5() promenaded into the hallowed As- sembly Hall on A])ril 18 for traditional ( ' lass Day E.xervises. After the students and guests held been setited. Headmaster John J. Doyle gi ' eeted the assemblage. President Leo Topjitin thereu])on assumed the position of nuister (M‘ ceremonies and delivered his address. The program jirogressed with Carney Edward Cavin ' s inspiring declamation of his pi ' ize- inning oration. Fi’om the sublime to the more or less ridiculous, the class was confronted with an. “out-of-this-world” proi)hetic offering, pi-esented by Seegraber. Spiel. Weiner, and .Xenakis. As the Class had no - Ijeen informed of the futui ' e. the present reckoning was ai)tly taken care of in the Class Will by Portnick. Frank, and Pilato. Individual members then iiroceede d to demonstrate their versatility. Allukian entertained with his amazing agility in juggling, and Xieland provided an enjoy- able contrast with his well-received violin performance. It was once again oui’ pleasure and honor to have as guest speakei’ Howard J. Richard, ’81. a successful insurance man and columnist. His address ])roved en- lightening to all. As is customai’y, the program was con- cluded with the Class Song, written by Harold Porter. Credit for a successful jirogram is due to the tireless efforts of Mr. Gordon Irons, .Mr. F’hili]) .Marson, .Mi Houlihan and his Latin School Band, and to the entire Class Day Committee and their ushers. 82 Ring Committee First Row: Giuliano, Whalen, Sohmer. Chairman; Dorris, DiGang;i, Gavin. Second Row: Riley, Wolff, Lon ro, Lucido, Strom, Goldenberg-. The organization of the Ring C ommittee i.s the first sign to the boys of Class II that the perils of Class I will soon follow. A representative of each of the nine rooms meet in the Library to discuss ring styles. Cries of financial pain are heard when, a week later, a representative of Scholastic Jewelers comes to measure the finger of each boy and to “catch” him for a five- dollar deposit. Promises are given that the rings will be delivered early in the next school year. September of 1955 inevitably came, and — to the delight of the Committee — so did the rings. The Class has at least one bit of tangible evidence that it has en- dured four-to-six long years of Latin School training! I «3 I Eliot Sohmei’, ( ' hairi)i(in Prize Declamation First Row: S.

Strong em])hasis was placed on dramatic material by the finalists. As always, competition was very keen, and this year’s contest featured an inter- esting and long-standing rivalry among the upper classmen. The Judges, mem- bers of the Classes f)f 190G and 1931. needed the wisdom of a Solomon.

The annual Class Banquet was held on Monday, May 14, at the Empire Room of the Hotel Bradford. This year’s sump- tuous feast was held in honor of Messrs. Thomas F. Mahan, Abraham H. Gretsch, and Joseph Weinert, who retire to become honorary members of the Class of 195b. After consuming the delicious dinner of roast chicken, the members of the Class sat back, putting the traditional cigars, and listened to an entertaining array of speakers, goaded on by our witty toast- master, Mr. Dunn. With the bidding of fond farewells — that is, until Graduation Evening, the boys (excuse us, the men) went off in many directions. The Banquet would not have been the success that it proved to be, had it not been for the work of our aide committee. Thanks are especially due Mr. Dunn for his valual)le assistance in i)lanning the affair. I Victory Dance First Row: Clark. Mc ' Swiney. Cohen, McAulilVe, Coivi, Sciacca. Lucido.

The hctory Dance, a.s it ha.s been called for the pa.st three year. ;, was, on Thanks- .triving ' Night, necessarily referred to as the Puritle-and-White Dance: for, in the morning, the victory had gone to the Blue- iind-Blue of English, despite a gallant at- tempt by the Latin eleven. Our boys showed their courage, however, as they itrrived — btittered, bruised, and sadly dis- apiiointed. The night was theirs, and they well deserved it : for they had fought for victory down to the very last play. The arrival of Coach and l Irs. Walter Mc(’arthy helped cheer up the team, who, up to that time, had left the “partying” foi ' the fellows who had watched the game from the grandstand. When the IMcCarthys took to the dance floor, how- ever, the l)oys could not be outdone; and before the evening was over, low spirits, tired limbs, and sad memories were be- ginning to heal. The Victory Dance was, once again, a great success. Mid-Winter Prom First Row: Strom, Torpey, Garber, Brown, Donovan, ?kJarkey, IMcSwiney, Co-Chair- man; Pereira.

Although on February 22, our “boy.s on ice,” the hockey team, was defeated in a well-fought game by our arch-rival Eng- lish, the traditional Mid-Winter Prom — under the able co-chairmanship of Andrew Giullotti, Frederic Pereira, Walter Mc- Swiney, and Leo Topjian — was held the following evening with great success, tie- cause of a last-minute change in the ar- rangements, several boys and their dates made their way up to the Roof of the Hotel Bradford, only to learn that the dance was being held in the Carousel Room, located in the basement. Dancing to Herby Wayne’s Band was the general order of the evening from eight to twelve. Then the “guys and dolls” scurried to their “speedsters” and rode away to various night-spots to conclude a memor- able and enjoyable evening. S7 i Farewell Prom First Row: Coulon.

After exten.sive searching and much deliberation on where to hold the Fare- wall Prom, the Senior Prom Committee decided to secure the main ballroom of the Sherry Ftiltmore Hotel. White and pink dinner-jackets and blooming gowns added much to the beauty of the long- awaited affair, held on iMay 29. The tuxedoed gallants and their dates danced from eight to twelve to the music of George Graham and his orchestra. With the conclusion of the Cdrand iMarch and the choosing of a queen, the general order of the evening was to climb into the “old buggy” and head for one of the famous night-spots along Route Nine for a bit of food and good cheer. The class offers its heartiest congratulations to Chairman Topjian and his Committee for their effi- cient work in making the Senior Prom the success that it was. Prize Drill First Row; Ml ' .

The weather was ideal for both participants and specta- tors as twenty two companies, led by their Senier officers, competed for places in the close-order drill exhibitions. The top award of Brigadier-General was won by Captain William Gorman of the 11th Company, First Regiment. Win- ners of the rank of Colonel were Law- rence McDonald of the 6th Company, First Regiment and John Brazier of the 1 1th Company, Second Regiment. The other prize winners were : First Regi- ment -(2) 3rd Com])any, Lieut. -Colonel Donald Robinson; (3) 5th Company, Major Robert Donovan; (4) 9th Compa- ny, Major Joseph Longe ; (5) 8th Com- pany, Major John Niles; Second Regi- ment -(2) 5th Company, Lieut. -Colonel David Singer; (3) 6th Company, Major Peter Callaghan; (4) 10th Company, Major Vincent Di Gangi ; (5) 2nd Com- pany, Major William Seegraber. For the first year, an exhibition by the Honor Guard was presented. This spe- cial group, each member of which is cho- sen for his special skill in drill maneuvers and rifle control, was commanded by Sergeant David Swepson. The musical organizations provided en- livening performances during their part of the program. The Drum and Bugle Corps was led by Captains Frederic Pereira, Richard Samaha, John Daley and Ronald McMullen. Captains Barrie Bortnick, Paul Dratch, Philip lerardi and Laurence Lyons commanded the Senior Band. The entire school is indebted to Cap- tain Kelley, Mr. Houlihan, and Mr. Dono- van for their tireless efforts in helping to bring about the highly successful Prize Drill of 1956. CLASS ORATION Today, with mixed feelinys of anticipation and sadness, we em- bark on the first of that series of functions which will serve to separate us from this revered institution, which, for the last several crucial years, has dominated our lives and endeavors. W’e are the latest of a long line of youths who, for more than three centuries, have ])assed through the halls of Boston Latin School and have emerged with the indelible Latin School seal. Stimulated by our imminent departui’e, with a newly revived interest, we gaze fondly about this noble and familiar hall teeming with so many memories. The frieze, lettered with the names of famous graduates, catches our attention as it has on so many other occasions. Yet, on this 195(i Class Day, our attention lingers and a query insistently rises, “Could it ever happen — will the name of one of our number some day l e inscribed in that august company?’’ Perhai)s this is too much to ask: however, generations ago on a s])i ' ing day such as this, each of these commemorated Latin School boys sat with his respective classmates and listened to predictions, exhortations, and admonitions much as we do here and now. It is not impossible that at some distant date, one or even more than one from among us may be deemed worthy of such manifestation of esteem. Contemplating our centuries-old history has a dwarfing effect, but we can bolster our self-esteem by looking back to a day four or six years ago at the inception of our Latin School careers. It seems only yes- terday that some of us shyly or perhaps brashly entered the classic portal from Avenue Louis Pasteur. As we streamed into our Sixth Class rooms, we stared with wonder at that .strange figure in trousers — a man — presiding over a class. Soon we tasted the bitter and the sweet of this masculine world. We were neither loved noi ' hated. Our successes or failui ' es were taken as matters of course. It seems, there had always been something like us around and there always would be. A few students, who, immediately on entering, produced work of such high quality that honoi’s came to them from the very start, have continued to reap tangible rewards all through the years. Others — some soon, some later — fell by the wayside and severed their connections with ihe School. Whatever the reasons for these departures, we cannot act smugly superior, for we knew the boys as good comi)anions and we I’ecog- nized in man.v of them unmistakable gifts. Most of us, however, have a story of ups and downs. Occasion- all.v our mei’its would receive some recognition, but at other times — oh! the heartbreak! How humoly have we liowed before the parental repri- mand ! What bonds of brotherhood have we found among our fellows as we shai’ed our troubles and bewailed the unkind fates that placed us in such hai’sh predicaments! The Spartan regimen impressed us from the start, but it was only gradually that we came to discover something more than mental gymnas- tics in our studies. We began to discern first in one teacher, then in another, strong evidences of their deep love of learning. As the Latin tongue was slowly brought home to us, it began to reveal its splendors, ' then Pinglish and other languages took on a significance never before suspected. No good would be served by reciting the curriculum with pat commendations, ljut each of us has found in his own way certain areas that mean much to him. These areas ])oint towards a possible specialization in vocation oi- avocation. We already know our future mathematicians and scientists, and the directions of many othei’s ai ' e clear even though the exact ' ()als may he in (loul)l. W ' e fiave had some diversions. Onr l oot hall teams have roused our spirits and have hroujjfht honor to the School. ' I ' lie athletes of the foothall, hasehall, haskethall, hockey, and track teams hav(“ amazed the non-athletic hy the ma.rvelous energy and didve of hoys who could spend lonj - hours in Ki’uelin - training- and yet keep up to Latin School standards in studies. The motto — “IMens sana in corpore sano” — has been exemplified in all our sporting endeavors and Latin School has shown itself inferior to none in physical as well as in intellectual com- petition. As we look ai-ound this room, how many men can we count who.se infiuence will stay with us for life? It is much easier to thank them from the stage than it would he to do i in i)erson, for their contrihutions have often been so precious that mere ex])ressions of gratitude are painfully inadequate. Let us take with us out into the world a clear picture of our Latin School Masters and their all-important work, foi- it is possible that conditions may arise which could weaken the system that has made our valuable experience possible. What a tragedy it would be if, in the future, the boys of Boston were deprived, even to a small extent, of the opportuni- ties we have been so fortunate to enjoy! The small homogeneous body of the 17th century Latin School would have been amazed to hear predictions of the ethnical richness which would mark our 1956 school. There are, 1 am sure, but few parts of the world that have not been drawn upon to form our student body. C ' ountries mentioned in 17th century writings only as exotic and fabulous names have been the homes of families of our classmates. Asia, near and far, Africa, every part of Europe were familiar to the ancestors of some one or other among us. This profusion of influences has enlightened us and enlarged our horizons. Some of the hopes and fears, the contributions and traditions of otherwise remote groups have been imparted to us here at an impressionable time in our lives. Vith all these influences we have, un- doubtedly, become more enriched. Because of our many creeds and beliefs some of the most delicate problems must be avoided. In making the best of this situation, the place of the Latin School Master looms very large indeed. Men who firmly, though quietly give testimony to the primacy of the spiritual, men who are tolerant but who do not confuse tolerance of divergent views with indif- ference to right and wrong, these men make our education worthwhile. Our character development would be inadequate without the prudence and guidance of such superior men. To these men we give humble thanks. As much as we are indebted to our masters, we owe even more to our parents. Our parents have continually stood by us during our years at Latin School. They have suffered with us in our disappointments. They have rejoiced with us in our successes; they have encouraged us; they have prayed for us. We can never fittingly demonstrate our gratitude to our parents. To them also we give our heartfelt thanks. We have received a splendid training. Our habits of study have been developed; but our work has, of necessity, been prejiaratory. We have an excellent foundation. What shall we do with it? Various fields of endeavor beckon. The economic spheres are omnipresent and in- sistent. There are urgent problems to be solved. Man must live by the sweat of his brow and the lot of most will be to provide properly for those entrusted to their care. However, let us not forget those things which per- tain peculiarly to the mind and to the spirit. Latin School has for ten generations passed on to the world torch bearers in all that is most im- portant in the life of man. Let us of the Class of 1956 continue the tradi- tion. In the words of Dante; “Think of the seed you spring from. You were made Not to live the life of the brute beasts of the field But to follow ' virtue and knowledge unafraid.” CLASS PROPHECY SCENE Th iicfioH place on I’laiKt Ihif), notne- t ' nac ill till fiifnrc.

The season brought an end to Coach ‘‘Pep i IcCarthy’s domination over English as the I lue-and-F lue for the fii-st time in four years defeated the Latin School eleven. With Co-Caittains Emile Coulon. Joe Lucido. and Frank Rowan leading the way. the Purple easily knocked over their first five ojtponents : 5Iemorial. P .C. High. S(Hith Poston. Technical, and Dorchester. In these five games the Pui’ple outscored their opponents. 157-21. In the next game with Trade, however. Latin School wound up on the wrong end of a 13-12 score. This year, for the first time since 1951, in the traditional Turkey Day classic, Eng- lish nosed out a fighting Purple-and-White eleven, 20-14. This team compiled an enviable record and. until defeated by Trade, had amassed the State’s fourth longest winning streak and the best five-year record in the Con- ference. The offensive line was composed of Harry 5 ' ieira and 5’ince DiGangi at ends. I llX) I Ed Whalen and Joe Lucitlo at tackles, Hob McCool and Frank Rowan at juards, and Mike Napier at center. The offensive backfield was composed of Dick Levine at quarterback, Emile Coulon and Charlie C ' arp at left half, Howard “Bobo” Gray at ri ht half, and Slash Johnson at fullback. The points after touchdowns were taken care of by Stan “The Toe” Strom. The defensive line consisted of Mike Reilly, Tony Piraino, Jerry Feitelberg, Joe Lucido, and A1 Yaffe. Our line was backed by Bob McCool, Bob Corvi, and Frank Rowan. The defensive backs were Tom ftrown, Dave Swepson, and “Pops” Giuliotti. Other standouts were John Gertsen, John Broderick, Joe DeYesso, Jake George, John Flynn, John Higgins, Frank Crossen, “Tex” Tacelli, Jim Slovin, Brad Greene, Bruce Golden, Tom Laird, Jerry Catanzariti, Walter Kelley, Gerry Fal- vey, Ernest Zissis, Ed London, Vincent Basile, Barry Rosenthal, and Bill Kirk. Joe Parks missed the entire season as a result of an injury sustained in a pre-sea- son scrimmage, but remained faithful to the team to the end of the season. Next year’s outlook is bright with many lettermen returning. The new Co-Cap- tains are Bob McCool and Slash Johnson. Lettermen : Corvi, Gertsen, Broderick.

What the squad lacked in experience, however, it made iq) for in spirit and was a credit to the school in both victory and defeat. The starting five consisted of Fred Pereira, Bernie Plansky, Dick Goodman, Ken Robinson, and Stan Strom. Others who frequently battled for the Purple were Jim Carey, Steve Kelley, Tony Piraino, Johnny Hayes, Bob Powei’s, and Phil Clark. Our boys started strongly by completely overpowering Technical, but then found the going rough w hen they met tourney- bound Memorial and League Champ Dor- chester. Two hard-fought loses to B.C. High and English ])lus a thrilling one- ])oint victory over Trade closed out the first round of play. The second round was a reiieat of the first with wins once more over Tech and Trade. They journeyed to St. Sebastian’s for a non-league game re- sulted in a decisive victory. High-poiiil man for the year was P ' red Pereira, followed cdosely by Hernie Plan- sky, who showed yreat improvement as the season progressed. In the fii’st ann ual all- star game held at Boston (larden between the Boston City and Boston District All- Stars, Latin School contributed Captain Fred Pereii’a, who did an excellent Jol) as our representative. ] Iany thanks are due Coach Patten for his untiring efforts to im])rove the varsity and to Coach Tacelli, w’hose Jay Vee’s en- joyed a good season. This year’s manager was Chuck Sadowski, ably assisted by Tom Keaney and Frank Dusserik. This trio was acclaimed by many to be the best- shooting managers the team has ever had. Hopes run high for the success of next year’s team, under its Captain-Elect Bob Powers; for eight returning lettermen and and excellent Jay Vee scpiad are ready to battle foi’ jobs. The sky’s the limit.

The team started slowly; but as the season progressed, so did the team. The records are not all that there is to a game: for we did, indeed, have a very good team. We accepted any setbacks in true Latin School spirit. The first line of “Jack” McAuliffe, “Bob” Cohen, and Walt McSwiney i)layed in championshij) form. KM The prospects tor another season ai’e bright with a s(iua(l “jam-packed” with “naturals.” Special congratulations are in order for Defenseman Andrew “Pop” Guil- liotti, who not only played magnificently in every game, but was selected as a member of the All-Star team. Right beside “Pop” was Frank Crosson, who turned into a great defenseman. John Irwin was al- ways ready to spell “Pop” or Frank, and he promises to become a great defenseman. W ' hen the team lost Paul “Strube” Alt- meyer by graduation last year, things looked black, but two great goalies emerged : Ray Maguire and P ob McCook All in all, the prospects look very bright for next year, and the school may count on Coach Thomas’s coming up with another championship team.

Under the .supervi.sion of Coach McCarthy, the team made a yood .showing at all the meets. Latin took first place in the opening- meet, bowed to English in the second, and bounced back to win the Novice INIeet handily. In the fourth and most exciting- meet of the season, a triangular with Eng- lish and Technical, the Purple won by the narrowest of margins. Then, in the fifth, Latin walked away victorious. Finally, in the finishing meet. Latin edged out Tech and B.C. High to make it four consecutive wins. In the Reggies. Latin took second place with 72 points, while English won with 85 ponts. In Class A. the best scorers were Katz, Lieberman. Cahn. Ladoulis, Laird. Carj), SEASON’S RECORD and (Jreene. Lieberman was superb in tlie high jump, and Cahn scored heavily in the 440, while Ladoulis was master at the shot. In Class B, the best scorers were Gray, Kirk, Swepson, Slatteiy, Graham, Masotta, Karimbakas, and a newcomer to the team, Benny Yee. Kirk and Swe])son displayed fine form in the Reggies, each taking first ])lace: Kirk, in the 880; and Swepson, in the 440. In Class C, LaMarre, Biggar, Prince, Mancini, GerCsen, Karp, DeYesso, day- man, Zissis, and Elia contributed greatly to the success of the team. DeYesso was without equal in the hurdles.

The Latin School Ijaseljali team will enter the held as the (lark-horse of the Conference. Although no games have been played as of this writ- ing, a championship is not beyond reach. The team is a hard-hitting, defensively ef- fective, high-spirited, and experienced unit. The most striking feature of the team will be its strength up the middle. The battery, consisting of Ace Pitcher “Sum- na” Corvi and Catcher Joe Lucido, could l)e the best in the league. These two men will have to carry much of the load; and if they do well, the team should hang up a good record. The coach will have a pleasant job in choosing another pitcher or two in Saul Stick. Tony Piraino, Higgy Higgins, Tony Giantis, and Ray IMaguire. Pete Clark will be backing up Joe Lucido. ... It will be hard to get anything by the keystone combination of veteran shortstop Dick Levine and second-baseman Tom Brown. In addition to their value on defense, they l)oth ai ' e K(x d hitters. Emile ( ' onion, a I’eat clnteh hitter and one of the best defensive outfielders Latin has had in a long time, will be in center. “Ray” Maguire, the leading hitter and spark of last year’s team, will undoubtedly start in leftfield. For the rightfield ])osi- tion there are several aspirants from which to choose a starter: Frank Rowan, P ' rank Mancini, Tex Tacelli, Pete Falvey, and Slash Johnson. “Crazy” Smith will probably be wearng the first baseman’s glove on opening day. Smith, a good hitter, is a real “take charge guy.” Wally McSwiney, slick-fielding third-baseman, will have to be on his toes to keep his job from hustling Fred Karp. Credits are due Coaches FitzGerald and “Pep” McCarthy, Senior Manager Gene Soble and Assistant Managers Vin Di- Gangi, Jack Feitelberg, Charlie Teebagy, and Joe MacDonald for the success of the team.

After a loss to the Medford Freshmen, the Purple Soccer squad became sizzling hot and breezed through the season with three straight victories over Medford J.V., P rowne and Nichols, and Medford Freshmen; but it was finally cooled down by the young and vigorous Tech team. This year’s success may be accredited to the great improvement in teamwork and coordination. Furthermore, magnif- icent performances were turned in by George Ozols, Bob Dussik, and John Ga- lins. Captain-Manager Ozols and Co- Captain Dussik deserve special credit for a job well done. 1956 RECORD Latin 1 Medford Freshmen o O Latin 5 Medford J.V. 4 Latin 4 Browne Nichols 0 Latin 4 Medford Freshmen 0 Latin 1 Technical 5 Line-Ill) : Pease {hr), P.

Through the zeal of the boys and the voluntary coaching of Mr. Powers, however, the team was organized and jtracticed with enthusiasm. After the first plunge on January 17, when Latin outswam the Roxbury Boys’ Clidt, our team had many exciting meets against such groups as Huntington, Brook- line High, and the South Boston Boys’ Club. In the free style, Nordahl and Bent- ley scored several firsts, while Allukian and Kimtis piled uj) scores in the butter- fly and backstroke respectively. Many points were scored by our relay team and by means of the individual efforts of Levy, Thomas. Lalime. and Bernstein. It was. however, the spirit of the entire group that accounted for a successful season. Golf First Row; Drever, McAuliffe, Captain; Mr. Thomas, Donovan, Krovit.

The Latin School squad is bolstered by the return of several members of last year’s team, which went to the semi-finals of the State Four-Ball Tournament. Heading the list of returnees is Captain Jack McAuliffe, a four-year veteran. Other mainstays include Bob Donovan. Peter Drever, and newcomers Ed Krovitz, John Dutch, Leo Cannon, Bill Lynch, and Jim Tirrell. Prospects are bright for another City championship, which would be Latin’s eleventh in a row. Under the guidance of IMr. Simmons, also coach of arch-rival English, we look forward to another suc- cessful season.

Prospects for another City champion- ship appear very bright for the Latin net- men. Although several regulars were graduated last year, the team still retains much of last year’s “wallop.” The younger half of the famous Cerul Brothers will be the anchor-man of a strong team. A1 Brams looks as good as ever, promising great things in the future. Flanking these two will be Bob Caulfield, Bob Dussik, and Gamer. As usual, berths are open for the doubles spot. With amj)le skill and good weather, Latin will again romp home to victory.

With the clicking of typewriters and the snapping of cameras, the Yearbook Staff began the long, arduous, task of bringing- out a Yearbook for the Class of ’5(j on time. While gathering information on 230 odd Seniors, certain unfortunate mem- bers of the Executive Board were forced to waive the advantages of their daily at- tendance at classes and instead, work in the Library. Other members of the Staff had to wallow through the snow of three New England blizzards to deliver copy to the printer. Members of the Class were generally very co-operative in effecting the comple- tion of the Yearbofdi. Many Seniors, how- ever, required a bit of arm-twisting before paying the obviously reasonable rates. (These stragglers were, of course, few in number, about 225). Many “geniuses” helped to make it an even bigger and more impressive YearJtook by assuming such dubious titles as “Ticket-Collector at B.L.S. -English Football Game” or Ser- geant-at-Arms on Career Day.” Now, here in your hands, you have it — the finished product. For its apparent success we of the Yearbook Staff would like to thank our publication advisers — Mr. Marson, Mr. Dunn, Mr. Gordon, and Mr. Rosenthal — for their invaluable aid.

GOLDENBERG In its eighth year of existence, the Bos- ton Latin School Chapter of the National Honor Society again carried out a i)ro- gram of worthwhile activities. Credit for the success of this program is due to the direction of Mr. Kozodoy and Mr. Levine. Charles T. Ladtmlis proved an exception- ally able chairman. The Society continued to sell Defense Stamps and Bonds. Every Wednesday found the members of the Stamj) Commit- tee visiting each class in the schocil during the home-room period. I 12-1 I In December, thiiiy-ei} :ht more Seniors were inducted into the Society at ceremon- ies held in the Assembly Hall. President Joseph P. Lonj o, acting ' as chairman, de- livered the opening remarks. He was fol- lowed l)y four members who spoke on the four requisites for admission into the National Honor Society: Scholarship, Service, Leadershij), and Character. On February seventeenth, the Society presented a gala talent show in the Assem- l)ly Hall. This highly entertaining per- formance featured talented young people from both within and outside Latin School. From the proceeds it was possible to form three scholarships of one hundred dollars each, to be awarded to deserving members of Class I. At the conclusion of the show, Mr. Kozodoy expressed our grat- itude to Mr. Jameson for devoting so much of his time to the production of the affair. The show could not have been a success without the etficient toil of the Program, Publicity, and Ticket Committees. Each year the ranks of the National Honor Society must be filled anew by members of Class II who have proved their worth. Undergraduates should bear in mind that membershij) in the National Honor Society is the highest mark of dis- tinction that can be given a boy at Latin School. Aardvarks Foreground: Sai ' ill.

While The Wise Old Aardvark chanted monotonously, “Fa- des to Ilf am (I inatre amafa,’’ the new mem- bers, proudly wearing their bright crim- son robes, repeated at the altar the oath to uphold the ancient tenets of the society — namely, the spread of Aardvarkianism, the practice of vivisection, and the at- tempt to conquer the insect kingdom. At the big event of the year, the Aard- varkian banquet, the Pusillanimous Pis- mire read his poetry to an enraptured audience. Confusion, however, followed when the Little Aardvark attempted to explain the Einstein Unified Field Theory while those present were chewing fried Hies. The repast ended with the unani- mous decision of the members to found a Spinoza Society for the study of esoteric ethics. Readers will be happy to know that varoLis Aardvarks were dispatched to find new members for the Society. American Music Club First Row: Huskins, Wulf, Ginsburg, Ring-, Sergeant-at-Arms ; Ehrlich.

As the first meeting of the newly formed American-Music Appreciation Club was held late this year, not very much can be stated about the Club’s achievements. Al- though it is still in its infancy, the officers and Mr. Dobbyn, the faculty adviser, have high hopes for its success. One purpose of the Club is to create a clearer understanding of American jazz as an art, in all of its form.s — from tradi- tional, two-beat New Orleans to Modern and Progressive Jazz. With the kind as- sistance of Mr. Houlihan, a small jazz band has been formed. Several talks pertaining to various jazz artists, as well as analyses of terms such as “improvisation” and “counterpoint,” have been delivered, and valuable record albums given away in the Club’s raffle at every meeting. In the future, the Club hopes to have extra-school speakers and bands of renown. Deepest thanks from the officers and members go to Mr. Dobbyn, without whose assistance the organization of the Club would have been impossible.

With recent developments in rocket re- search and new tlving techniques, we are making jtreparations for a trip to the moon in the spring — i.e.. anything to avoid finals. The main puritose of the Aviation Club is to discuss types of planes and their con- struction, as well as general developments in aviation. All matters relating to model planes have been turned over to the Model Crafts Club. We began the season with an interesting talk, which Inmught the group at once into an enjoyable harmony. 12S In addition to lectures delivered to ac- quaint members with various i)hases of aviation, films from the Library were en- lightening. With the President Fishman’s movie projector, a visual education program was undertaken to illustrate, through films, the complicated operation, performance, and importance of the airplane in the “air age.” As a result of these films and the acute parking conditions on Avenue Louis Pi steur, the members of the Aviation Club have decided to petition for the landing- field on the roof of the school. With the cooperation of the faculty, we know ' that our project will be a success. The Club is grateful to Mr. Murphy for his effective supervision and practical guidance.

Its members, as in the past, met ev ' ery Fidday afternoon at the Huntington Alleys. The Club, we are hai)i)y to say, did not suffer from a lack of competition, for there were many good bowlers. Es])ecially note- worthy were Dussik, Prout, Jacobs, Shields, Chiten, and Newman. Room 307 carried off most of the team and individual championships in the race for intramural laurels. The team was composed cf “Bob” Dussik, “Jim” Prout, “Bert” Lieberman, “Charlie” Morse, and “Duke” Snider. Also, the two top individ- ual strings were recorded by this same 307 team, which managed to stave off the challenges of 301, 332, and 335. “Bob” Dussick bowled a 144, while “Jim’ Prout had a 127 to take second honors.

First of all, the basic e! ments were touched upon. Every oth.r Tuesday, under the able supervision of Mr. Dunn, talks on picture-taking, devel- oping, enlarging, and printing were pre- sented by members ; and questions wer ' asked and problems discussed. More technical subjects were later brought up, such as the workings of the Leica Camera and Cinemascope vs. Cinerama. At one meeting the color-slide record of a deer hunt in Maine was shown. This season the humblest Brownie” fan, as well as the most advanced photo- grapher. became more aware of photo- graphy as an art.

Room 311, or the Library, the Chess Club had a surpris- ing and welcome registration far in ex- cess of the combined enrollment of the last two years. Mr. Van Steenbergen and the Seniors have instructed those students who were either novices or rank amateurs in technique and etiquette.

Many members have profited immensely by instruction in careful re- search on the life, manners, and customs of the French people; and they have de- veloped a laudable flair for presenting a to])ic first in concise English and then in a free translation. Constant encouragement is given to practice in oral French. Not only have literary and historical subjects been treated, but special attention has been focussed on the immediate political prob- lems of France and the French colonial unrest. Some outstanding speakers have in- vented acrostics in the French style and crossword puzzles. Further, the Lingua- phone records have served to brighten many a meeting.

A high point of the year was a vocabulary contest and awarding of two German-English dictionaries to the winners. 1 MS I Glee Club First Row: Koss, Dunn, Helman, Maloof, Ruttenbeiff, Treasurer; Sing ' er, Secretary; Schley, President; Xordahl, Vice-President; Tafe, Mahoney, McGiath, Salmon.

Once again, the Latin School Glee Club had a highly successful year. Under the able tutelage of Mr. PMuiiglietti, an inter- esting and entertaining selection of choral music was presented at several school functions. The Glee Club performances at school affairs, are not, however, its sole activity. Throughout the year members’ voices are trained in informal classes, so that they may become skilled in group singing. The season’s activities were highlighted by the Christmas e.xercises, the gradua- tion ceremonies, and at the school assem- blies. Thanks are due Mr. Famiglietti, who presided at the semi-weekly meetings, for his patient and heli)fu! advice.

The pur- pose of the Club is to provide all those in- terested in the magnificent cultural tradi- tions of Ancient Greece an opportunity to develop this interest by discussion. Dur- ing the course of the year, President Roth- enberg and Secretary Bianco delivered in- teresting talks on Ancient Greek Poetry. In conclusion, we wish to thank the C ' lub’s Faculty sponsor, Mr. Locke, for his never- failing encouragement and assistance. ltd 1 Key Club First Row; Hog-an, Slifka, Piacentini, Tevan, Topjian, Treasurer; O’Neil, Vice-Presi- dent; Mr. Kozodoy, Goldbery, President; Murphy, Secretary; Wish, Ruttenberg-, Wulf, Rubin.

The Key Club — founded in 1952, under the capable supervision of Lieutenant- Commander Cannon and sponsored l)y Kiwanis, to provide service to school and community — began its work by perform- ing volunteer tasks in neighborhood hos- pitals. When Mr. Kozodoy took over as faculty adviser the following year, the Club, in addition to combining and expanding its hospital work, raised five hundred dollars for scholarships by selling advertisements for the Dramatics Club play. Kiwanis was so pleased with the ,iob that they matched the five hundred dollars. The boys ad- dressed over four hundred envelopes a week for the parent Kiwanis Club. For these and other services, the Chd3 re- ceived two awards at the New England District Convention. This year, with President Paul Gold- berg at the helm, the Key Clubbers, un- dertaking all the aforementioned tasks, have enlarged their volunteer work and their scholarship program. Boys now work not only at hospitals, but also for the American Red Cross, for the Red Feather Campaign, and at Freedom House. They have set their goal to raise two thousand dollars for scholarships. Members are privileged to have a guest speaker from Kiwanis at weekly business meetings. These gentlemen present short talks on opportunities in their fields and answer members’ questions. To Mr. Kozodoy belongs much of the credit for the success of the Club in its three years of existence. 1 14] Highway Safety Club First Row; (il ' een. Ferris, Markey, Allukian, Treasurer; Romano.

At the opening meeting Mr. Bergen, the fac- ulty adviser, welcomed the members and outlined aims and pur])oses. The large membership showed the desire of the stu- dent body to acquire the skills and habits necessary on the highway. During the year the Club enjoyed ques- tioning a panel of experts on rules and regulations of the Massachusetts Vehicle Law and a skit entitled “How to Buy a Used Car”. At the March meeting Mr. Condon of Hardware Mutuals gave a short talk, called “Automobile Insurance and the Teenager”. By means of numerous booklets, train- ing aids, and informal discussions many members became qualified to take the oral portion of the license examination, which, if passed, excused the aspiring driver from answering questions when he went up for his license. Much credit must be given to Mr. Ber- gen’s Club officers and the members of the Executive Board, who worked dili- gently to make the Club the success that it was. [143J Latin Club First Row; Katz.

The program con- sisted of talks on Roman life and customs, delivered bv members, and a series of lec- tures on etymology, given by President Lvons. The subjects discussed included “Slavery in Ancient Rome, “Latin Phrases in Current Use.” “The Roman Marriage Ceremony,” and “Criminal Pun- ishment in Rome.” In addition a group of acrostics (word-puzzles) was presented by Davison of Class II. Katz, Wilkie, and Shields are to be commended for their efforts in making the Club a success.

The Club, meeting regularly on alternate Mondays in Room 203, gave interested boys an opportunity to share their knowl- edge with others and to become more familiar with the masterpieces of litera- ture. Perhaps the word varietn would best characterize the Club’s program. In addition to literary quizzes furnished through the kindness of Dr. Callanan, talks were given on almost every phase and period in literature. Among other noteworthy lectures were the following: two talks by Ehrlich, one on the Shakes- pearean stage and the other on Chris- topher Marlowe; a talk by President Gavin on Dryden’s translation of the Aencid; two talks by King — one on George Eliot, the other on G. B. Shaw; and a talk by Ginsburg on Paddy Chayefsky’s views of television playwriting. Credit for a successful year is due not only to the Club officers, but especially to Dr. Callanan for his interesting and in- formative commentaries on the talks ; for his Dickens recordings, played at the Christmas meeting; and for his kindly encouragement and guidance.

Unfortunately, however, there were, in the course of the Clul s activities, a few casualties, as ob- served from the Secretary’s notes : 20 can- celled memberships. 14 nervous break- downs, and several incidental attempts to jump from the roof. Oh, well, there are quitters in every crowd !

At every meeting, models were exhi- bited, discussed, and judged by a selected panel of judges. The decisions of the judges were recorded each time, and prizes for the best models were awarded at the last meeting. During the year many interesting models were displayed from anticpie auto- mobiles to the latest in defensive aircraft. Although most of the models were strictly for display purposes, some were actually propelled by means of their own engines. Our deepest appreciation is due to Mr. Pheeney, without whom our program would have been impossible.

This contest, with (juestions concerning phases of American life, was a feature of this year’s club. PYr the purpose of discussing and ob- taining information on current events, the group was offered inexhaustible material. The many members, with an unusual de- gree of interest, made good use of this opportunity. Many discussions were held on vital world topics and events in the making. Talks were given on such subjects as the Geneva conferences, the tense problem at Cyprus, and Germany today. In addition, a scrapbook was kept of modeni events. All in all, the Club has had a successful year; and, thanks to the guidance of Mr. Pearson, the members were enlightened on “today’s news today.” [ 1491 Radio Club First Row: MenitofF, Botbol WNIKG, Sable, Rice, WlABQ, Secretary; Solomon W1 ’HH, Piesident ; Mr. Sullivan, Ha luntl WlVHV, Vice-President: Leafe WlAEB, ' I ' reasurer; Barnett WlABY, Wasserman, Petricone.

The operation of the school radio station, WITEM, was supervised by Mr. Higgins and Chief Operator Robert Solomon. Over thirty radio operator licenses were earned by members of the Club.

This year, in addition to the courses in First Aid, they have aided CARE in sending parcels over- seas, helped other organizations through- out the school, and served in hospitals and blood centers as volunteers. The eagerness and interest with which the members worked toward their goal and the full support given by the officers and advisers made this season outstand- ing in the Club’s short history. Founded in 1949, it has overcome the unwieldiness experienced in the first five years of its existence and has stepped forward as one of the school’s most dili gent clubs. Under the able supervision of Mr. Powers, the organization should continue to flourish and pursue its aim : to develoj) a spirit of generosity in the members so that they will aid those who are in need.

At its meetings, demon- strations and lectures are given by the ofiicers and members of the Club. It is hoped that these meetings will add to the success and enjoyment of the members as they pursue their respective sports. An additional function of the Club is to provide a place where those students who share a mutual love of outdoor sports can get acquainted and meet outside of school to fish and hunt together. It is only fitting that the Club express its gratitude to Mr. Fielding and Captain Kelly, without whose aid it would have achieved little.

The Sailing Club opened the 1956 season with a triumphant note, having the pre- vious season placed second in sailing com- petition at Lenox. Owing to this fact, an increased interest has grown in the Club ; for in the hearts of its members lies a sense of true sportsmanship, competi- tion, and the desire for further knowledge of the sea and ships. During the year the Club was divided into two groups : one section for the teaching of the funda- mentals of sailing to new members ; the other, for the further obtaining of racing technique by the moi ' e experienced mem- bers. To become a member of the sailing team, one must pass a test on the elements of sailing, whereupon he is allowed to take out a sailboat and eventually race in it. The Club is looking forward to more inter- scholastic and intramural competition at the Charles River and at Marblehead. Praise is due Mr. Powers, the Faculty sponsor, under whose able leadership the Club has functioned very effectively.

In addition to conducting trips, movies, lectures, and the like, this praiseworthy organization presents three unique assemblies each year (U.N. Day, Brotherhood, and Freedom). At present, plans are being made for a television program. Although these activities are commend- able, the S.S.C’s real importance lies in the fact that it teaches democracy and citizenship — not merely by words, as is most commonly the case, but by practice and demonstration. Much credit is due Mr. C. K. Avery for his great assistance in club and school affairs. Adviser, MR. C. K.

The Trick Drill Team, as it has been referred to during the past few years, re- ceived a major face-lifting this year. With the assistance of Mr. Doyle and Mr. Dunn, the team acquired new equipment which made the unit stand out in appearance wherever it marched. The team was also re-named the Boston Latin School Honor Guard. The Honor Guard was lauded for its snappiness and military bearing in such places as South Boston VFW Competition, when they won first place ; Dorchester Day Parade, when they took another first place; and in the Community Audition, in which they also won, prior to going on TV. The unit appeared again on TV on Sunday, February 12, 1956. Other places where they performed with distinction were the Charlestown June 17th Parade, The National Honor Society Review, the BLS Prize Drill, and the English-Latin Turkey Day game at Harvard Stadium. Under the direction and command of Capt. Louis Johnson and the expert ad- vice and guidance of Capt. Kelley, we are certain we have a winning team wherever we go. In addition, working with the Honor Guard is a superb Color Guard, under the command of Sergeant Dave Swepson. The Junior Drill Team, guided by Sergeants Dick Rubin and Ronnie Nigro, is also well on its way to becoming next year’s Honoi- Guard. Congratulations to our top-notch drill instructor, Capt. Kelley, and his Cadet Officers for another job well done. MUSICAL ORGANIZATIONS If a music-lover should walk into the n.L.S. rehearsal room during any home- room i eriod and hear the exquisite sounds of the ensemble, he would surely remark. “If only Sousa could hear this!” His idea of what would ha])pen if Sousa heard it is doubtful; but. nevertheless, one cannot help l)eing impressed by our musical or- ganizations. Aldy conducted l).v Mr. James Houlihan, the Band and the Orchestra are making names for themselves. This success is proved by their stirring performances throughout the year; for instance, the Band at the Latin-English game and at Prize Drill; the Orchestra at Prize Decla- mation and at Class Day. Instrumental- ists. from the biggest bass viol to the tiniest piccolo, give the school much to 1)6 proud of; and many of them have been chosen by i Ir. Trongone to play in the Boston School Symphony Orchestra and the Band. Thus, with goals high, the Orchestra and the Band are confident and cool. ' .j M ■■ i First Row: L.
