Having met the Rector and been shown our dormitor- ies, we had our first meal, awed to silence by the panelled walls glistening with the hallowed names of former Senior Prefects. After lunch we were taken on a tour of the School, and separate personalities, until then repressed by the presence of numerous parents, began to appear. Within the next few days most of us were pretty well integrated with the machine. Football had started with Lang Clay and Pete Douglas exalted to the Second Clubs, while we lesser beings enjoyed the noble sport on the Third Clubs under the tutelage of Messrs. Williams and Moore. Neddy Lord learned how to make life miserable for the opposing center by yanking his helmet off while he was passing the ball back, and Soupy Gardiner soon became famous for his habit of carrying hostile tacklers along with him on his way towards the goal. The Third Clubs triumphantly finished off their season with a hard-earned victory, 7-6, over the Second Club substitutes. By this time some of our members had fallen afoul of the powers that be. Tony Kuser came under Mr. Regan's displeasure for sliding chocolates up and down the table during meals, and while some carried off prizes for operating his toaster, others for various misdemeanours were stood at the window, euphemis- tically called watching for squirrels. On December 2 it was announced that the First Form officers had been elected with Gray as secretary and Myers and Gardiner as councillors. When Everyman was produced at the end of the term, George Myers and Ollie James took the parts of two blushing damsels. A week or so after the start of the Winter Term we were joined by Danny Coolidge. February brought the famous debate between A and B divisions in history. A argued for the merits of Egyptian as compared to Greek civili- zation, and a quarrel over the discovery of castor oil lead to tears and hot words on both sides. A history, however, recovered sufficiently from its defeat to present a portion of Aristophanes' Frogs, a short time later for the amusement and edification of the rest of the Form. The privilege of the Grot room was extended for the purpose of rehearsals, and it was there that Motley, engaging in the sword play that the text called for, struck down two opponents and the glass door of a bookcase. Pete Douglas and Motley were on the Gym Team in time for the exhibi- tion, and Guy Cary made it a short time after. To finish off the winter sports, Eric West edged out Pete Douglas for the new boys fives championship in a gruelling five-game match. In the Spring Term we all played baseball on the Third Clubs. One day Louisa Noble was standing by watching a game and made George Myers blush with pleasure-or was it pleasure?-by asking, Who's that cute little tyke? 4311 By this time a definite line of race and creed had been drawn between the upper and lower levels of Mr. Gallien's dormitory. Each tried to assert its mas- tery, and there were daring forays with pillow and water almost nightly. Gardi- ner with his usual independence turned Fifth Columnist and sabotaged his fellow dwellers in the lower level. The Nashua and the Squannacook were favorite holiday resorts, and many were the adventurers that set forth proud and dry who paddled back with drenched clothes and a couple of inches of water splashing around in their canoes. Une particular time the strife had been fiercer than usual with three canoes sent to the bottom. Afterwards Billy Gray, Lang Clay, and other participants, meet- ing Mr. Gallien on the river road, greeted him jauntily only to be shaken by the subtle question, Was the water warm today? There were other disasters, such as the time Myers and Clay tipped over while holding a shell for the start of a crew race but to mention one incident would be slighting others as interesting. So exams and Prize Day rolled round. Shurtleff got the first in the Form and Gardiner second, while Charley Bird carried off the woodworking prize. In the track meet Douglas won the high jump and Gray the broad jump. A hur- ried morning of packing, and we were off for the summer vacation. II Second Form year began conspicuously for us when seventeen new-kids joined the ranks, swelling our number to a potent thirty-nine. The new boys had varied first impressions, and poor Pete Walker was afraid he hadn't been brought up right when he watched G. Morgan unpack five tooth brushes from his trunk. This year the Form, led by that murderers' row consisting of Lord, Loring, G. Morgan, H. Morgan, and Motley, broke all existing records in the field of black- marks. Harry Morgan's favorite trick was reading in study period camouflaged by his raised desk cover. It wasn't the perfect crime, however, and one night Mr. Hallowell barked out, Morgan, stop reading and bring that book up here, whereupon both Gerald and Harry started for the front of the room. When they espied each other, each dove for his desk, and though H hoped for the best, Saturday found him back at his accustomed task. Some of us were doubtless preparing for our country's future when we took up bombing practice from the Library balcony. That didn't last long, however, since an unsuspecting librarian became the target, resulting in a soak for Ives. In Mr. Strachan's dorm Peaslee livened the nocturnal hours with shouts of Murder! Stick em up, I've got you covered! And then with a final burst of machine-gun fire he would drop off to sleep. One night Fletcher leaped out of Perrin's cubicle just in time to hear Mr. Strachan in piqued tones exclaim, By Jove, Minos, you have six blackmarkslu Mr. Moore's dorm was not lacking in excitement either, and when the prefects were not having their own row, Walker would roll marbles up and down the dorm for reasons best known to himself. Bath nights were a source of much merrimcnt, and Lord, Hall, and G. Morgan caused several major floods, while H. Morgan became the first casualty of the year when he demonstrated a foot- ball punt and flipped over backwards, spraining his wrist when he met the floor. 'l32l 3- 4331 X .-,,.nl, V,,, ,ii . wif, l ,fs- l l x pi' 1341 Capable as we were at that time of accumulating blackmarks, we also showed considerable talent in sports. Most of the Form were on the Second Clubs in football, where a thrilling season was carried off by an underdog Monad- nock team. Lang Clay battled on the First Waehusett's unscored-on first line at guard. The winter was one of the few honest winters we experienced at School. There was plenty of snow for the ski-fever men and plenty of ice for the hockey enthusiasts, although Chandler, Douglas, and Coolidge tried a little too soon and went swimming rather unexpectedly. Perrin was the new boys fives champion and several of us made the Gym Team. On February 13 Jim Hall, Harry Morgan, and George Myers established an all-time record for early swimming and said the water was fine, but we wonder. The combined eiforts of an efficient staff with Soupy Gardiner as Editor produced the Chromfcle. The Dramat had a gala year, presenting two fine plays, Murder in the Cathedral and The Yoemen of the Guard. D. Coolidge made an excellent nun in the former, and in the Yoemen, which came on Washington's Birthday, W. Gray starred as Little Phoebe. On this evening H. Morgan Che never could resist an impulsej surprised many of the audience and even more E. Peabody when he nonchalantly beaned him with Gone with the Wind as he was extricating himself from the prompter's box. The baseball season passed uneventfully with most of our Form playing on the Second Clubs, while the Third Clubs functioned intermittently by the flag- pole. On Prize Day Gardiner led the Form with Shurtlelf close on his heelsg Hadley received the Lower School Reading Prize, and J. Bacon was master printer. III We returned for the Fall Term of Third Form year to find the Faculty augmented by Messrs. Iglehart, Moss, and Sullivan, and our Form by Cummer, Herring, Mitchell, and Nields. The first day back the School was attacked by the hurricane, which resulted in great damage throughout the neighborhood, completely obliterating the river road among other things. The School was organized into squads, and chopping became a major activity as many blistered hands attested. The Weekly board as elected last year with Gardiner as Editor got under way. Little did they know of the stormy days ahead: the time the Weelky was printed only on one side, the six exposes that were censored, and the sudden demise of that purple sheet, the Wastebasket Special. The shoe-shining clan grew to huge proportions in the Brooks House cel- lar, and for a whole year the cellar resounded with zunked shoe brushes and the cries of mad pursuits. Likewise the schoolroom was the scene of many incidents, such as hats burning in the lights and Hollingsworth's period-long snooze. Also during the fall an unparalleled yo-yo fad broke out, and Lord won a contest in the village and returned with a prize sweater, much to everyone's amazement. 4351 St. Mark's was conquered 26-20 in a wild, rough game, while Lang Clay, our only representative on the squad, warmed the bench, and the Weekly's extra carried a picture by Mitchell. The Lower School soccer team was also victorious against St. Mark's, as J. Bacon scored the game's only goal. Those in Pest House were reported to have had many merry times when Mr. Nichols was away. They used a comforter to black out their lights, and successfully, too, until it caught fire. Notable, too, was the time Walker con- vinced himself he was on his death bed and strove to find his pulse. Failing to do so he was escorted to the infirmary terror-stricken. In Mr. Wright's dormitory Lord proved his weight by smashing his bed and passed an uncomfortable night on the floor. In the Winter Term occurred H. Morgan's famous flight the length of Mr. Wright's dorm after lights, trying desperately but unsuccessfully to escape the approaching prefect, Grant. Also Hadley belted Mr. Iglehart with a pillow when he was coming in to pull up his comforter. Play time rolled around again, and The Bishop Misbehaves was a great success with Hadley and D. Coolidge as members of the cast. In winter sports Crocker iiashed brilliantly on the First Club rinks. Perrin overcame Clay in the Lower School five singles, and Perrin and West defeated Clay and Gignoux in the Lower School doubles. But far and away the most important event of the term was th?!Rector's announcement that he would retire at the end of the next year. Next term it was announced that the Rev. John Crocker would succeed him. The Spring Term got off to an auspicious start when during supper a cow gained entrance into Mr. DcVeau's dormitory before she was discovered. The famous Carson-Hollingsworth fight behind the five courts was broken up by Mr. Regan when H. Morgan, as he was fleeing, uttered his famous Cheese it, the buzzard! G. Morgan ran behind the cage and completely disappeared into a hole, much to the wonder of all. In baseball J. Bacon was on the Second Squad. On the First Clubs the Monadnocks defeated the Wachusetts. while on the Seconds the Wachusetts won. On the river the Wachusetts swept the Club season. Mr. Howes took us, as the bug class, into the Harvard Museum and the Arnold Arboretum. At the Arboretum we wandered everywhere looking at tree specimens which we were supposed to recognize. But at every step a Good Humor man was right there. Very pleasant, Mr. Howes. Nields and Mitchell won the Form prizes. Gardiner won the Lower School printing prize, and Mitchell the studio prize. The Monadnocks won the track meet quite easily despite E. West's efforts to the contrary. The last night went off as usual, and J. Higginson was elected Senior Prefect. V Fourth Form year was a new experience for us. Now that we were in the Upper School, we assumed certain responsibilities and privileges. We had our own studies, we started competing in athletic contests with the Sixth Form, and, finally, we took over many new jobs and positions: Gardiner, H. Morgan, Ives, and Kane were elected officers of the Dramatic Association, Ives and Amory 1361 4371 i381 helped in the Athletic Store, H. Coolidge became manager of the Second Hand Store, Myers and Ives ran the Stationary Store, Kane, Cummer, and Degener were in the Book Store, and Myers, Cummer Degener, Gardiner, Hadley, Herring, Perrin, and Shurtleff were librarians. At the beginning of the fall term we missed Mr. Strachan who was enjoying his Sabbatical in Scotland, but his place was taken by Mr. Calhoun. Mr. Calhoun had to leave at the end of the term because of illness, and Mr. Philbrick filled the gap for the rest of the year. After the St. Mark's game in which Lang Clay earned his letter, organized sports were continued in Mr. DeVeau's dorm- itory in the form of midnight battles between Kane and Lyman. These thrilling bouts, however, were soon brought to a sorry end-six blackmarks apiece and a night trip to the Rector's house. The advent of winter snow and cold was accompanied by several incidents. One night after lights the occupants of Mr. Wright's dorm staged a tremendous row which included putting chicken-paste in Bowlie Shurtlelfns bed and sprink- ling tooth-powder about Fred Cummer's cubicle. Unhappily an especially alert Sixth Former arrived at the wrong moment to administer thirty-six blackmarks. In Hundred House Gardiner and Walker took up the practice of flooding their study with steam from the radiator. When Hyde, their hall prefect, came in one night he was told that it was just that he'd been working too hard. Oh, he replied, Well, don't let it happen again. He didn't get much work done after that. Upon our return from the Christmas vacation, we discovered that Mr. Williams was engaged to Miss Elizabeth Patterson and was planning to leave in order to take over the headmastership of St. Christopher's School in Richmond, Virginia. Gray was elected President of the Junior Debating Society this year with Crocker as Vice-President and Walker as Secretary. The Demosthenes with Myers as their able captain defeated Gardiner's Ciceroes, 3-1. Hollingsworth had a part in the Washington's Birthday play, Sister Gold. With the Spring term came the baseball season, and three of the form, Crocker, Coolidge, and Gignoux, played in most of the games and received their letters. We were positive Spring had come when we heard the sweet tones of Pot- ter's guitar and were awakened bright and early to the shrill cries of the Crocker- Coolidge bird-club, hunting for a new species of robin. The high point of the term was the burial of Gardiner's and Walker's potted petunia which had perished from an overdose of asperin. It was carried out to its appointed burial-place in a long and somber funeral procession, accompanied by much wailing and many dirges. At the moment of inhumation Mr. Thomas burst forth from a faculty meeting and cruelly ordered the rites to cease. As our first year in the Upper School drew to a close, Gardiner was elected editor of the Record with Herring and Lord as assistants. On Prize Day Shurtleff and Patterson tied for the Form Prize, Smith carried away the French Prize, and Hadley and Walker shared the Debating Prize. fl39l V At the beginning of this year we were cordially met by the new head- master and Mrs. Crocker. Besides the Crockers there were many new faces confronting us when we returned. In addition to the arrival of several English boys, there were changes in the Faculty. Mr. Loewenberg temporarily took over Mr. DeVeau's position in the Latin department, Mr. Kremer replaced Mr. Williams as chaplain. Mr. Strachan returned from his sabbatical to conduct an unforgettable series of twilight sacred studies classes, which invariably began with Coolidge's bird calls echoing through the Schoolhouse and ended with Mr. Strachan's worried Oh, good heavens! My dorm! and the mad dash to our respective houses. Most of us dwelt in studies down the regular Fifth Form halls, but several were scattered in more remote quarters. Myers and Hadley, self-termed The Axis, dwelt in luxurious sleeping studies, far from the madding crowd. The British War Relief descended on the School with somewhat startling effects. The sight of football heroes painfully clicking knitting needles became common, and odd, complicated machines for making socks popped up in various unexpected places. These were unnerving enough, but the coup de grdce came when Lord appeared in the Fifth Form Thespian Society's benefit play as a colossal oriental idol. The St. Mark's football game was played in a drenching downpour, but Groton gained the victory, and Clay, Crocker, Gardiner, Gray, Hollingsworth, Holt, Perrin, and West their letters. The Winter Term opened with the perennial glowing anticipation of the Washington's Birthday dance and soon encountered the no less usual postpone- ment of the same, this time mumps were responsible. Two innovations were made this term. The most pleasant was the boon of an additional half-hour of sleep on Sunday mornings, a privilege balanced by boys making their own beds. Secondly, the Mish underwent a series of changes, including a new constitution, more restricted membership, and the addition of the Food Shop and the Boys' Club. A great many Fifth Form contributions were accepted by the Grot from Hadley, Gardiner, H. Morgan, and others. Walker, Hadley, Gardiner, and Myers represented our Form on the debating team. Hockey gained some ground in its battle for recognition as a major sport, and in the four games played we split, losing twice to Lawrence Academy, but defeating Brooks and Middlesex. The dance postponement in no wise daunted the Dramat, and the School witnessed an impressive presentation of R. U. R., in which Hadley and Hall had outstanding roles. The Spring Term was a full one. The dance finally came off, and not even rain could dampen our spirits. Clay's study was appropiately bedecked for the occasion by his little playmates to his uncomfortable amazement. The week-end was further enlivened by Carson's memorable rendition of Wee Baby Blues, ably assisted by Filley and Clay. -l40l- 4411 'U H21 ..? C The forest fires provided a welcome change from School routine, and it was great sport to dodge hose-winding after having gamboled through the woods all afternoon squirting an Indian pump at elusive embers. With an all-Fifth-Form infield and catcher, it also was a Fifth Former, Gignoux, who batted in the only run in the St. Mark's game, to give us a 1-0 victory. The new Grotonian finally came out under Hadley's direction and was brightened by the addition of an illustration by Mitchell and destined to con- tain a musical score by Nields. This term saw the appointment of G. Morgan as minor sports manager, a coup d'etat which brought to a draw his keen rivalry with Frisky Fred Cum- mer, and the Form was so overcome with emotion that it could not be restrained. He was borne on exultant arms into the Library after lunch and set upon a pedestal. He raised a hand, the clamoring mob was hushed. Gentlemen, he said fand a thunderous cheer arosej, I don't know why I was elected minor sports manager, I guess I just beat Cummer out. But it ain't fair to rush me till I get hitched. With that he deftly leaped to the ground and proudly made his way out amid the tumultuous cries of the School. It was during this term, too, that an alert dormitory prefect turned a flashlight on Motley after the appointed bed-time-swinging gaily from a lofty beam. The prefect boomed out an authoritative accusation: but Motley, ever swift of wit, shot back with a crafty I'm just going to the lavatory, and the befuddled prefect limped back into his lair. The great day of the year finally dawned, and with a not-too-well-co- ordinated farewell to the Sixth Form we bade the School au revoir, handing in book reports at the gate. VI There were many changes in the Faculty when we returned this September. Messrs. Regan, Lynes, and Richards had retired, Mr. DeVeau had returned from Tucson, and Mr. Strachan had left again, this time to study at the Cambridge Episcopal Theological Seminary. He is expected to rejoin us next year. Messrs. Satterthwaite, Freiday, Gammons, and Comstock had joined the Faculty. On its birthday the School was regaled with a revived squibbing ci la Hellzapopin. Potter as Groucho Marx, Gray imitating the new Senior Master. and Hadley in the r6le of an Ecuadorean miner all were star performers. Lord's plaintive cries as the 220-pound baby were the outstanding attraction. The airplane-spotting post atop Schoolhouse-soon to have a sunny and comfortable cupola-was put on a twenty-four-hour basis with masters and Fifth and Sixth Formers sharing watches during the day. The Fifth Annual Conference of the Church Schools of New England was held at Groton this year, and a very nervous Lyman greeted the visitors as they arrived, despatching his Fifth-Form minions to show them their lodgings in Mr. Moore's dormitory. The discussions between members of Fitchburg High and the Sixth Form, so successfully started last year, were continued. Shurtleff, 4431 Walker, Mitchell, Gray, Myers, and Crocker represented the Sixth Form at these meetings. On the afternoon of December 7 the School was amazed to hear the news of Pearl Harbour. Immediately armchair strategists sprang up on all sides, maps were hurriedly produced, and we all made hasty exorts to discover the whereabouts of remote islands mentioned in rival communiques. Impending food shortages had no effects on the activities of the various gourmet clubs of the Sixth Form, the Boudajoi and Epicureans in Hundred House, in Brooks House the Thin Man's Club. As the term drew to an end Shurtleff, Coolidge, Chandler, and Holt were elected School Prefects. The Rector read the Christmas Carol, and we then departed for the vacation. The skaters had much reason to rejoice this winter, but our skiing brethren fretted for lack of snow. Likewise, the newly-organized snow squads, under H. Morgan, Coolidge, Chandler, and Amory had little chance to show their ability. The hockey schedule was crippled by the measles, while the young and vigorous basketball team played three games, and most of us merely loafed. Half way through the term the whole community was saddened by the death of Mr. Lynes. His funeral took place in St. John's Chapel, and School prefects acted as pall-bearers. The Debating Society grew riotous upon occasion, particularly when the members almost succeeded in voting attendance at meetings voluntary. The high point of the season came when Hadley employed a new technique and traced the progress of the psychopathic soul with skits and slides. Mr. Nichols and Mr. Iglehart answered their country's call, While the threat of military service brooded over other members of the Faculty, and many masters and their wives took courses in first aid and fire-fighting. In the field of informal athletics there were noticeable inventions. There were glorious grows or Greek class rows, gromps or glorious romps by Walker, Lord and Gardiner Cwho found innumerable little games to play with a canoe and the river icel, and that king of sports, sicket, or Sixth Form Cricket, played with a cane and a small globular pillow, a species grown only in the Sixth Form room. April 11 brought a bewildering maze of achievement and aptitude tests which replaced the regular college board examinations this year. With those out of the way we set down to enjoying to the utmost our last school days, so- called the happiest of our life. The dance week-end came and went pleasantly, and the play and other events, written-up elsewhere in this issue. As we go to press we feel apologetic for the many omissions and gaucheries which we have doubtless committed in this chronicle, but we, the Sixth Form, have written it ourselves Csince we could arouse no interest in any of the mastersj, and, if it is not an improvement, it is at least a change. And now, while the sun floods our studies, and merry cries from the playing fields assail our ears, we refiect that in a short two weeks after Prize Day, we will be back at work although in different surroundings. But for the academic calm, the good times, the education, and the foundation which Groton has given us we humbly thank her. 'l44l' THE FORMS -ll . 1.,...f.....-. ..,.. . W .-1 .4 lluvk Rolf: ll.

III-INRY IIOLT, Ill 4541 Missionary Society Although the full results of this year's work are not known, we at least are able to say that the Missionary Society has been active and thus far successful. During the Winter Fall term we elected twenty-two Fifth Formers to the Society, and formed a new constitution which eliminated excessive debate, gave more scope to the separate committees, and provided for a budget committee which would regulate their expenditures. In the Winter term we opened our annual drive in the School for contri- butions. This year, owing to the considerable income of the Food Store, the drive was conducted on a different basis. The Publicity Officer made a speech before the School explaining the purpose and activities of the Society and opened a two-day pictorial advertisement drive. After that several members of the Society went around and asked for contributions. The shake-down technique was completely abandoned, and boys were allowed to give on the installment plan. We are extremely pleased to have received 3700 in contributions. Besides being more ethical, this system has the advantage of keeping the School in touch with the activities of the Society. This S5700 plus the 85400 which the Food Shop will have made by the end of the year will give the Society a total income of 31100. Most of this money had already been spent in many useful activities. The Boys Club, opened at the beginning of this year, has been a great success. An average of fifty boys from Groton Village has come every Tuesday night and boxed, wrestled, and played basketball for over an hour. This term we are planning some soft-ball games and possibly a feed. We have continued supplying several families with daily milk. The investi- gation Committee has been useful, and the Sunday School teachers continued their work in the community. The Christmas parties, run by Walt Amory, were, as usual, much appreciated, as was Jim Hall's impersonation of Santa Clausg and old clothing was efficiently collected by Reggie Gignoux and handed over to the district nurse. One of the highlights of the year was the Fifth Annual Conference of Church Schools which was held here for the first time. Seven schools were provided for by a Reception Committee, ably headed by Tony Lyman. The main topic of discussion was The Place and Purpose of Church Work in Secondary Schools, and we obtained valuable information on the methods and organization of the other societies. We feel that the Missionary Society has shown itself to be a valuable or- ganization, and we hope that in future years, it will become more and more useful in the communnity. i55l liuvk Rolf: Mr. Kromer, Mr. Crocker Fzlflh Razr: Mr. Gallic-n, Mr. fi2LllllIl0IlS, Mr. I7eVc-nu, Hr.

Received about two days later, they were immediately put into use by some thirty-nine of us who had a distinct end in view. What were they? Why, football conditioning exercises, of course, de- signed to offset the languid lassitude of lazy life. The rock-bound coast of New England resounded to the creaks and groans of would-be All-Americans, as we put on one final spurt before appearing at Groton 011 September 16, faced with a seven-game schedule. Before even the first game had been played, we lost the services of II. Coolidge, end, who hurt his knee in a hard practice session and just barely was able to return for the St. Mark's game. On September 26 we faced a team from Roxbury Latin which was also playing its first game of the season. This team we beat by a score of 34-0, mostly because of their kindly and polite nature. When they had the ball, they would come out of the huddle and beam at us as if bubbling over with joyful friendliness. As they assisted us to our feet, they always found something to congratulate us on, which we found rather disconcerting. A Roxbury player was later heard to comment on the Groton Machine with awe, but this was mainly because of his friendly disposition toward us. On the following Saturday a determined Pomfret team visited us. Both sides played hard, and we carried the day 26-0. During the following week some of the team members were feeling as though we couIdn't be beaten. After all, We had sixty points for us and none against us, and our condition had been much better than that of our opponents, due to the untiring efforts of our coaches, but it seemed that something was coming to subdue us. It came. It came in the person of a well-polished Middlesex team, starting quickly and clicking ca1'ly. With a 1'apid Hurry of passes they gave us our one defeat of the season, 19-7, and for a while it seemed that they were never going to stop, despite three gallant single-handed tackles within our five-yard line by Captain Clay, On October 18, after l1avi11g our overconfidenee knocked out of us, we set out for Belmont Hill, and, after a few unsuccessful attempts, managed to turn f65l the bus i11 the right entrance for the gymnasium. The game was hard-fought all the way, with many penalties being given to both sides, but when the returns were in, we had won by 19-0. Temporarily reinstated, in the eyes of the coaches, we spent the next six hard days preparing for a home game with English High. Early in the week there had been heard on the football field a raspy sound some- what similar to the noise the New York Air Raid Sirens didn't make. This turned out to be Mr. Faversham who had heard of the defeat and decided it was time for him to come up and give his annual aid to the tackles. It was not waste time, as we met and defeated by a 20-0 score on the next Saturday an English High outfit fresh from a lavish write-up in the Boston Herald. Then there was that Milton game! Feelings of overconfidence were replaced by other emotions, not at all dampened by the inches-deep water and mud in which the game was played. Although passing was out with a wet ball and the refcrees said they had never officiated in worse weather, we put together six points in the third quarter which was a slim but victorious margin. But the big one was yet to come, and, as we began the last long period of practice, we knew that the rest of the season would count for little if we let this one get away, St. Mark's at Southborough. The first half was interesting only in that defensive play on both sides was so good Cor offensive play so badj that there were eight exchanges of punts. We led by one touchdown going into the second half, and then put over three more to clinch the contest 26-0. This was an extremely hard fought battle, and St. Mark's was at a disadvantage because of injuries. The team this year was composed completely of Sixth Formers. At left end there was Pete Douglas, who hadn't played for two years but could catch a ball thrown anywhere near him. Next to him at right tackle was Jean Carson, whose job it was to supply the beef and heft to his side of the line. Captain Lang Clay was next at left guard, and his play throughout the season was most inspiring. His pet trick was to lean in one direction and jump in the other with the snap of the ball, but his main force came from plain impetus or, as Mr. Noble would put it, t'drive. Sly and slippery center Sylvester Gardiner came next. To him was given the gift of guessing. If any opposing player was in doubt, he could always ask Gardiner where his own team was going to play the ball. The left guard berth was held down by Tony Perrin who always said that his was the best position, as no coach could really see just what he was doing in the middle of the melee. He might have been called the rock of Gibraltar except that the rock of Gibraltar never moves. Tony did! His position was not weak- ened any by the presence of 200-pound Val Hollingsworth at left tackle, whose bellow sounded like a stiff nor'easter coming up. The left end was John Crocker, Jr., who, although light, was gifted with a pair of hands that could catch passes accurately, and he was a good defensive end. Whenever John gets down into position it docsn't pay to watch his eyesg he doesn't look where he goes. In the backfield we had Johnny Motley at fullback, where he specialized in the straight line plunge. One could never tell if he was more interested in the stands or the game, but his bow-legged action evaded many a would-be tackler. Henry Holt was the blocking back, compared to whose job the labors of Hercules 4661 1 E were slight. His big day arrived when a play was concocted in which, after two reverses and a fake pass, some one lateralled the ball to him. This was known as the flea-flicker, and he and John Motley contested bitterly for the glory of being the flea-catcher. As the ball, however, never got any further than the first reverse in practice, it had to be scrapped, and Henry settled down to un- dramatic but devastating blocking. Eric West was the other half back and he specialized in reverses and shifty running. It appears that he ran so fast that tacklers could grab him, as he whizzed by, only by the sweater, and in each game he lost another piece of it. Velocity being his specialty, he could never keep his shirt on. Bill Gray was the lad who directed the team in the huddle, and on the offense he passed, ran, and kicked so well that the Boston Herald described him as pulling levers to win a game. The B team this year did much relieving throughout the season, and more than held its own in every game it played. Shurtleff, Cary, Walker, Amory, and Coolidge will graduate from this team, but Captain F. Coogan, Ames, Robb, D. Gray, T. West, A. Key, W. C. Loring, and W. Crocker should form the nucleus of a successful team for next year. Under the usual and consistently excellent coaching of Messrs. Noble, Wright, Whitney, Gallien, and Hallowell, we are sure that it will at least be giving the most it can possibly give. , -U - ,. Y... YN Y Y. .-.Q---W ----W V M- -..M .... l63l A-1 4 w 1 P Z f.

Crocker has been an inspiring captain, and the team behind him has been consistently hard-working and cooperative. The victories have been won by d team and not by individuals, and it has been exceedingly hard for opponents to put hits through our infield or outfield. The latter part of the batting order has been almost as dangerous as our first five, reputedly good hitters, Whatever the final results of the season, there will be no lack of good fielding, batting, and pitching.

L, E .. 1 L 'Z 53 '1 -I -.f m z V: 5 'T i Rowing The erew season opened informally in the last weeks of the Winter Team with rowing on the maehines ill the gymnasium. With only two veterans, Vaptain Gardiner and Hollingsworth, returning from last year's sueeessful sec-ond boat, prospeets for this year were relatively uncertain. The iee left the Nashua suffieiently early to permit three days of rowing on t.l1e water before the Spring vaeation. When the Spring Team opened on April 7, there were only three and a half weeks before the opening raees with Belmont Hill. The first four was seated with Gardiner at stroke. Hollingsworth, Shurtleff and Uhandler, and R.. Lawrenee as eoxswain. The seeond four seatings settled to Biddle at stroke, Holt, H. Morgan, Uabot, and Ilely-Ilutehinson as cox. From the very start the first four showed a marked superiority over rho seeond in strength, endurance and speed. But tl1e development of smoothness eame slowly. and the erews faeed Belmont llill on May 2 with only one full time trial under their belts. Both Belmont erews defeated the eorresponding Groton fours by eon- siderable margins: the seeonds by four lengths, the firsts by two and a half. In eaeh raee the Groton boats suiiered from the eatehing of erabs and poor blade- work. The Belmont erews, however, despite rowing in a borrowed boat, were able to maintain a higher stroke over the whole three-quarter mile course and led throughout both raees. On the next Saturday, May 9, Groton suffered a second defeat at Brooks Sehool. The raees were rowed at North Andover against a strong head wind and in rough water. The Brooks second four won easily by several lengths. In the raee for first fours, Groton led for the first minute, but shortened up as Brooks began to pull away to a slight lead. In the final quarter mile erabs again destroyed what ever ehanee Groton had of repeating the previous year's fine final spirit. Brooks finished about three lengths ahead. At this writing there remain raees with St. Mark's at Groton and with Noble and Greenough at Dedham. The expectation that the Groton boats will 4751 show more speed than in the disappointing early regattas is based on some good practice performances and an improvement in bladework which should reduce the possibilities of disastrous crab-catching. After the Brooks races H. Morgan was moved into the first boat at two and O. James replaced Cabot in the second boat at bow. Train took over Lawrence's coxing duties when the latter was forced to undergo an appendectomy operation. On May 12 the first Club regatta was held. Mr. Whitney's first Wachu- setts, ably stroked by Cummer, pulled away in the final quarter mile to a one length victory over Mr. Zahner's Monadnocks, stroked by Myers. The second Monadnocks defeated the second Wachusetts, these crews rowing the old racing fours, now some forty years of age, but still doing noble service. The third Wachusetts defeated their Monadnock rivals. One striking feature of the 1942 season is the number of Sixth Formers rowing on tl1e School and first Club boats. Biddle, stroke of the second School four, is the only oarsman on the first crews not in the Form of 1942, and several of the Club crew members, notably the two strokes, are also members of 1942. Despite the lack of victories at this writing it is apparent that this Form has been unusually well-represented on the river, and that it will be sorely missed when another season rolls around. -l76l P swf 'Z .

The Wachusetts won the gym team match. set of rules was drawn up for each sport, governing the extent of organization and outside competition to be allowed. These were quite effective and were observed in all sports except basketball where the limit of two outside games was over-stepped. Actually five games were played, and school appointments were broken, due to the failure of the Athletic Association to provide adequate supervision of this sport. On account of the shortage of labor this year many boys have been helping the neighboring farmers and the School during the Spring Term by doing various kinds of work. Several boys cleared out the prunings of a large sixty-acre orchard near-by. Furthermore, the tennis courts are being taken care of now by boys, and work is being done on the golf course. A couple of boys are baling waste-paper for the Red Cross, and two others are helping the planting around the place. The tennis team, consisting of W. Gray CCaptainJ, Robb, Douglas, Shurtlefi. Bator, Martin, and D. Gray, has games scheduled with Milton on May 30, Brooks on June 3, and St. Pauls' on June 6. Except for Martin and D. Gray this year's team is made up entirely of veterans and there is good reason to hope for a successful season. Tennis and golf, however, were not the only sports that this year's spring term provided. Two entirely novel and original sports were introduced into the school- sicket and bomo . Sicket is played with a cane as bat and a small, hard pillow from the Senior Prefect's study as a ball. In all other respects sicket is like soft-ball. Bomo is a slightly more dangerous sport played with a wicked, wooden boomerang specially sharpened at the edges. The idea of the game is to stand at thirty paces from one's opponent and lop his head off-making the boomerang sail back into your hands. This sport enjoyed the popularity only of a select few, who made up the homo club -an organiz- ation of the foolhardy. Sometime during the track season West and Hadley will go to Boston to the Boston College track meet to participate with other schools from all over New England. The Track Meet on Prize Day will culminate a year in which minor sports have become increasingly important, and next year, since major sports will be even more seriously hampered by the lack of tires and gasoline, minor sports will have to help fill the gap. 4801 Fives Team K lay. l':lllvrmll, lv:-S, X. l'm-rrm. lullblbl.
