There, all the adults seemed to be having a jolly reunion while you furtively stole nervous glances at those other sweating boys, as you heavy-heartedly unpacked trunks in your dormitory. A roast beef dinnerisomehow ended after interminable scrutinizing of other new kids, and farewells to families were dried away by the sight of much jollification through the afternoon, as old boys returned to pound one another in laughing excitement. That evening your dormitory master began the long process of acquainting you with the manners of this strange new world, and for some weeks you moved in a pleasant coma of blissful mystifieation at the surprising discoveries every single day produced. Before long you came to know one another, what with such helpful introductions as My name is Wicky, I caught an eleven-and-one-half-pound salmon-want a picture of me? A few days after this, Mr. Andrews in the first form room, having warned that the next one to ask a question would get a blackmark for an answer, promptly met Dirk Roosevelt's with not only the promised dusky, but with expulsion from the room. Curtis was wiser, in be- ginning to sleep through Mr. A's classes, a practice he became more and more expert in as the years went on. Welling, meeting a similar fate at the hands of Mr. Lynes, had the additional thrill of being sent to the Rector, where, confused in the etiquette of the occa- sion, he opened his explanations: Mr.-Sir-Doctor-Rector-Peabody-Sir-''g in fact he never got much farther, for the Rector seemed to dispatch him in a twinkling. Your first weeks were spent in mild mauling of one another in Third Club football under Mr. Robertson fprophetic note in the Weekly: Coogan, quarterbacking the Third Club Team, was outstandinguj, no mention made, of course, of how Russell piggy- backed him to his smashing gains, pleasant variations in these weeks included the School's fifty-third birthday, when, after a blissful day on the river, you put on blue suits to parade from the schoolroom to the dining-room singing John Brown's Body to the exciting strains of Mr. Call's trumpet. There followed one of Miss Cram's superb banquets, the shout, We want blue bottles , a silence, a scraping of chairs g a fine song and then merry adjournment to the Hall to see your first school movie, Sabu in Elephant Boy. As you became acquainted with traditions, one by one, the Rector told you of more, when he dedicated the Memorial to Mr. Gardner and preached about him one Sunday late in October. You were next shown Hallowe'en as observed in Groton when Mr. Gallien sent you to bed staggering deliciously under the burden of a mammouth feed, and thrilled by Mr. Jorgensen's prestidigitation. On the morrow, according to the Weekly, The preacher in morning chapel was the Rev. John Crocker, '18, a graduate of the school. By this date you were so used to seeing Chub Peabody's team steam-roller all opposition you could hardly be blamed for wondering at the upper forms' hysterical celebration of a 26-6 victory achieved at Southboro earlier in the afternoon. After the Armistice Day holiday which immediately followed, you decided upon Kingsford and Howe as counsellors and Davison as secretary. Thanksgiving caught you unaware of how easy it was to un- cover relatives in the Boston area, so after hearing Mr. Dick deliver the address in chapel, most of you spent the day in frolic hereabouts, winding up again in a dinner of unfor- gettable excellence. By now Roosevelt had entered the famed shuttle system in Latin, i21l in which he was fired on altemate days from first Mr. DeVeau's, then Mr. Andrews' di- vision, so that for the rest of the year what Latin he learned was largely in the detention of whichever master could recall having seen him in class. Bewildered by this form of democracy, Dirck urged Distler to help dispatch a letter to Hitler, in which the form's slave system was baredg Coogan served Davison, Poillon served Kingsford, served Hoyt, served Howe, and Howe? Further evidence of democracy's decay was seen at Mr. Regan's table, where Mr. Washburn the trustee uttered his classic: I don't know about you boys, but I like the tips just after Mr. Regan had succeeded in training you to love canned asparagus from butt to tip. The term ended in a glorious climax of the Dramat's presenta- tion of Murder in the Cathedral, of dreaded examinations, the Carol Service, the Rector's reading of The Christmas Carol, and a generally festive Yuletide spirit. The Christmas issue of the Weekly marked the literary debut of Coogan C a few birds were hopping around, trying to find a few crumbs as something to keep them warm- J and of Chambers whose eccentric item Whippersnapper, Sr. began a career that was to culminate in his being Editor-in-Chief of the Grotonian. You were soon introduced to the winter term's characteristic activities: the Service of Lights, Mr. Lyncs's sing-songs and piano recitalsg debates, to which you were in those days invited by special dispensation: gym exhibit, in which Howe and Welling won their first stripe, the dance, and the production of Yeoman of the Guard in which many of you took part. By this time Davison had ominously soaked his first blackmark, but deGersdorii' to the Rector's astonishment had not yet identified Howe in the form. Mr. Zahner had capped Robb with a waste-basket, Crocker had recited to Mr. Gallien God sped, cried the watch, and Mr. DeVeau's Latin grades had skyrocketed with the aid of catalytic agents from Bruces' fountain. A late February ice-storm provided you the rare opportunity of skating in front of the schoolhouse, on the tennis courts, and on the football fields. The earliest excitement of the spring term was the dramatic departure of Distler and Roosevelt. Some of Robb's letters from glamour-girl Brenda Frazier were found for certain to be entirely authentic, but he-man-Hoyt, contemptuous of such social precocity, demonstrated the modern Spartan boy by carving his finger and continuing to butter his bread until he passed out cold, to be gloriously borne from the table, dripping blood, in the arms of an awed prefect, to Mither. Easter was at school that year, and was marked by the Rector's dedication of the Davison Room, in which you were to pass many happy hours. On your Third Club diamond by the flagpole, Messrs. Moore and Nichols strove to reduce the menace to passers-by of your erratic batting: you were proficient enough, though, to climax the season by defeating the Second Clubs 10-6, as well as by drubbing the third and fourth crews. Meanwhile on the river Ozzie had been terrify- ingly canoe-wrecked in two feet of water, had shrieked t'Help, but seemed not to learn, as he spent most of the season steering fine Monadnock shells into the luxuriant shrubs of the river-bank. In spite of measles, May Services not held in the Town Hall, St. Marks' defeat of us 3-2, and Nobles' win on the river, your spirits survived, in fact so exuberant were they on one occasion in the dormitory that Robb and Gould emerged with six each, and the whole dormitory with a three-day exile. The Weekly's picture of your first Memorial Day is standard reading: after a preliminary inspection of uniforms, the School Company marched to Chapel to attend the Memorial Day Service, then fell in again, led by the Fife, Drum and Bugle Corps, and marched to the village to join the parade there. The Misses Peabody served refreshments at the cemetery, and the Exercises at f23l the Mound were held, after which the Company marched back to the Town Hall, to storm Bruces' when the 'Company dismissed' command was given. On the traditional-style form picnic at Baddacook, everyone had a wonderful time watching Messrs. Hallowell, Nichols, and Gallien do all the work. Prize Day Exercises were duly awesome, and in the afternoon deGersdorff, Crocker, Coogan, and Russell placed in the track meet. Second Form year opened with Ames, Cabot, Nicodemus, Reed, Treadwell, Tucker, Vreeland, and Witte added to your dwindled ranks, the new faculty faces were Messrs. Iglehart, Moss, and Sullivan, as if this were all not enough excitement for the opening day, the hurricane came the next afternoon to set the tempo of your whole term, really, with its subsequent days of floods, blisters, clearing of trees and bushes, and the minor casualties of Mr. Hallowell on crutches and of Vreeland's exacting his ounce of flesh from Russell. You were now fanatic yo-yoers, even entering a contest at Bruces'g those of you who were second Monadnocks fought under White helmets CDavison, exasperated: Reed, do you know ONE play? Reed: Yes. Which one? I've forgotten it. D, you fought a plague of mosquitoes, the result of hurricane-stump puddles, while the upper forms fought fires in the School's first Fire-Fighters' Reserve Unit. The tempo continued as Ames knocked out Coogan in M. T. class, Gould was ejected by Mr. Thomas fWhy didn't you say so in the first place?J, Mr. Robertson shadow-boxed a fire effectively with his extinguisher, Coe nocturnally molested Davison and Kingsford, Ames spanked Roosevelt once a week for the latter's shouts of father, father, and Roosevelt proved to Mr. Moss that twice nothing was two cats, while Ames, Cabot, and Vreeland had a marine engagement in Mr. Moore's lavatory. With the defeat of St. Marks 26-20, foot- ball gave place to soccer, the new field was begun, Hallowe'en brought its feast, a lunar eclipse proved to be small cosmic stuff after a hurricane, the new marking system was introduced, and Mr. Strachan was soon giving the Thanksgiving Day address, this time to a wiser form, who had almost without exception in one short year discovered a crop of near-relatives in the Boston area. You were learning. After Mr. Gardner's birthday, the term raced on to the Dramat's Twelfth Night, in which Russell starred as Olivia. Coogan made the pages of the Weekly, twice this time: Cudolls lie in disorder all over the dismal place, nobody cares about them- D. So busy were you in the winter term getting out a Chronicle that you scarcely noticed the succession of bizarre trial lighting effects in the chapel, the founding of the Band in the Dome, the opening of Bruces' branch office in the Stationery Store, or the spirit-movements of Mr. Thomas's annex table, as Curtis innocently munched on. So many of you were oFf-ex in January that the Peabodys opened their hospitable parlor to you for aftemoon use. Your present reporter's review of The Bishop Misbehavesn included the following significant account of a new-kid who was to become President of the Dramat: Cabot should go far-etc. On February 25th, after dinner, Bishop Lawrence as Presi- dent of the Board of Trustees announced the unanimous approval by them of the Rector's resignation, to take place in June of your Third Form Year. The spring term brought its holidays, canoe-trips on which Howe did ape-acts, nigger-baby games tough on Ames, who, however, seemed to avenge all, illogically enough, by nearly drowning Mr. Nichols on the form-picnic. In the literary world, Crocker tear- fully insisted to Mr. Dick that it was Yose-mite, while Robb on another occasion in the same locale was pathetically forgotten and left standing in a corner while the next class trooped in and laughed, resulting somehow in Robb's departing with four blackmarks. But Vreeland redeemed the class in the Prize Day Weekly: a horrible feeling of guilt l24l N W.. 1 ,v- A ,A .1- P passed through me as I realized how I had murdered my loyal valet as he raced to save me from the guillotinef' On Prize Day, Russell having eoxed a crew that term and won his letter. turned to track to join Ames, Poillon, and deGersdorff in jumping high and broad for ribbons, proudly received at the Last Night Exercises. Brassert, Bator, and Salm joined your ranks in Third Form yearg Mr. Calhoun appeared to teach you English fand printingb, but left at Christmas to be replaced by Mr. Philbrick. Mr. Moss began to film the Peabodys' last year. but violently objected during club football games to Mr. Thomas's neutral, unbiased indications of where Salm ran out of bounds on every play. Mr. Thomas so convinced you in class that you were a row of pins that you became pin-minded about Ames's seat in Brooks House schoolroom. Coe, in the village without permission, had the ironic luck to thumb a ride from the master-of-the-day, who promptly put him off village for the rest of the term. Coogan learned what it meant to handle a worm with kid-gloves, as Biology hcame the course of the hour. After the 26-20 defeat at Southboro, the weeks moved swiftly through IIallowe'en and Thanksgiving, when your scribe gave the address, and so to the final week, when the Dramat featured Davison as the goat-boy in Sister Gold, Cabot and Kings. ford in K'Pipe in the Fields, and Vreeland in The Old Lady Shows Her Medals. In the winter term play, Charley's Aunt, Cabot distinguished himself 3 but for sheer dramatic e ect Reed's oration f God made the country, man made the cit-y J de- serves mention, as your own Weekly would have said. In other theaters of activity, Mr. Philbrick's hitting trees time and again while coasting t Jolly fun, isn't it? j, Chambers's pelting of Mr. Iglehart at the entrance to his cubicle both remind us of the major snow event: the snow-fight back of Mr. Nash's in which Poillon tinted the walls of the fort a brilliant, contrasting scarlet. Undaunted by the vanishing snow and ice in the spring term, Davison, Vreeland, and Kingsford found roller-skates, rolled to Townsend Harbor, thumbed home, sold the skates, just before the Rector announced at the close of school next day, No roller-skat- ing. The other sports of the term seem confused, though, to your chronicler, who finds for example that Ames, having broken five oars and numerous riggers in April, was a promising pitcher by late May, anyway, he was the equal of any prowlers he encountered subsequently in Mr. Iglehart's dormitory. On May 5, fifty-five graduates, one from each form, presented the Rector and Mrs. Peabody the volumes of letters and snapshots of all graduates, together with cash presents from both graduates and school, silver boxes were at the same time given to Betsey and Margery. Other remembered snatches from the term: the mural in Mr. Nichols's classroom, the biology excursion to Boston, including Iiobb's experiment with citrus fruit, the band's debut on Memorial Dayg and finally, of course, the never-to-be-forgotten Prize Day of the Rector's retirement. You returned to Fourth Form year to find the Crockers here, and many changes, the gym had had a fire, Messrs. Kremer and Lowenberg were new masters, and Mr. Strachan had returned: Forbes and Johnstone entered the form, and Willcox was to do so during the year, the Good Will House opened its doors: knitting needles appeared. In the Presidential campaign. Davison, Welling, Kingsford and Curtis opened Republican headquarters, Witte and Tucker the Democratic, pamphlets, stickers, buttons, and heated words fiew everywhere, as Mr. Iglehart loaded an incredible number of you into his Gar- gantuan Cadillac on the junket to hear Willkie speak in Lowell. It was indeed a hectic time, what with Mr. Sullivan's thirty-six blackmarks to Mr. Lynes's students, the seances in Ames's study, Welling's moist, photographic pose outside Brooks House, the pillow-fights, l27l' 4. ff' -1 ,Q Gould's strategic placing of a flash-bulb in Knowlton's cubicle-light, and many another incident that needs no recording here. Innovations of the winter term included the hour's extra sleep and making of beds, Sundays. R. U. R. was the play, Reed's study the center of newspaper accumulation, the Green Dragon Society the social diversion , Robb the non-stop debating star, Gould the non-stop slider into Brooks House prayers. Also remembered: Willeox's bleats to Salm to cease snowballing his cubicle, and Coe's friendly, cheery Good-night, Gurnee, as he went by after Hundred House prayers. In the spring term eight of you became librarians, The Food Shop opened with impressive ceremony, and flags were captured in the maze. Davison caught a fly in the Tufts Freshman game, not another soul being available by that time to play right field. In the three-day forest fire, Reed vividly recalls his finesse in giving Mr. Thomas a lift in Mr. Robertson's car CMr. Robertson, for all he knew, having been left to burn to a einderj. Not all the adventure of the term was in the fire, though, for Hoyt, Welling, Howe, and Curtis prowled the roofs and lawns of Brooks House at unconventional hours, Mr. Nichols was awakened by realistic bugle-notes, Willcox encountered tonsorial attentions on the form--picnic, and the faculty rolled you in the aisles with The Happy Faculty Hour and Information Please. On the last night Nicodemus led your singing in gestures guaranteed unique in the history of that occasion. Fifth Form year brought Messrs. Comstock, Freiday, Gammons, and Satterthwaite to the faculty, Mr. Strachan was again away. Among the highlights of this term were Mr. Beasley's numerous searches for Vreeland on the tangled slopes of Monadnock, ably assisted by Brassert, Robb's and Coogan's Virginia Reels in Mr. Wright's dorm, Hoyt's blushing interpretation of the true but dry meaning of a sun-dial, Ames's hypnotic eflortsg Curtis's stolid acceptance of a prefcct's three blackmarks, the defeat of St. Marks 26-0, in which encounter Coogan, Crocker, and Robb won letters, Reed's debut as cal-pianist, Davison's and Reed's sensational pull-out, take-out, black-out play in C-team backfield, Willeox's swim with its dire effects on the Grot Room ceiling, and many another easily recalled episode tending to offset the increasing effects of war's shadow over school life. The winter term seems a recurring vision of evenings when Mr. Wright, supervising the popping of corn while he nonchalantly bid and played six hearts, deftly sampled the ehoicest morsels, to exelaim, quietly, hm-hm, as the assembled form awaited this ver- dict of approval amid a breathless hush. The afternoons were given zest by Poillon's dis- pensing of interesting patent medicines to the hockey-squad, while as long as we had river skating, Howe had a superb vanishing act guaranteed by your chronicler to send shivers through any spectator. Mornings in the schoolhouse found the History Department more successful in suiting the subject to the patient, Willcox, than did the Mathematics Department, whose wares were, after all, so obvious. In the spring came the deferred play, Petrified Forest, your first counting dance, fthe censor has been at work upon this part of the manuscriptj, Hoyt's and Howe's subsequent discovery of much good humor, Mr. Thomas's deferred strawberry festival, Chambers' adventures with the out- board motor, and Willeox's natty appearance in impeccable garb for day-labor on Mr. Gallien's Work Squad. Other evidences of the war's impact, incidentally, included air- raid drills, watches on the O.P., a diminution of sugar, entertainment by your form on a May Sunday of forty convalescent soldiers, and bond and stamp sales. This in the main and by and large is the fifth-form history, but for any further detail, look it up in Muzzey. ' THE HISTORY OF OUR FINAL YEAR IS ON PAGE 33. I29 1' ....

Very well, then, see other pages of this yearbooklj suddenly thrust upon you, including the breaking in of Messrs. Abry, Mommsen, Hall, Blackwell, Buttrick, Walen, P. W. Richards, Mcryman, at the outset, and Mr. Wickens at Christ- mas. A challenging year was soon humming along, daily bed-making, table-waiting, coal- shoveling, and scrap salvage being the chief new tasks, gone were some of the familiar luxuries in the cuisine, as were also blue suits, stiff collars, and patent leather shoes for eeonomy's sake. As Captain Johnstone's soccer season closed, two new members of your form suddenly made their appearance, Addison Weber and Paul Gurnee, moving into Kingsford's and Welling's study and settling down comfortably in tweed jackets with pipes and newspapers, but with such poise as not even to turn their deer heads when hailed jovially by name. A long, eventful term wound up with a colossal send-off beer party for Mr. Satterthwaite ftotal consumption of beverages: beer, one, Coca-Cola, forty-eighth, and vacation came and went in a twinkling. The winter term opened in traditional gloom and in a flurry of seasonable athletics, including badminton and the heaving of Mr. Loew- enberg's car from snow drifts as the chief diversions from muscle-building commando programs. Foe slept off the vacation in Mr. Mommsen's class, Vreeland wandered in a daze about North Station after those grueling preliminary examinations, Kingsford failed to haul Mr. lfreiday through a window from a snow drift, though Coe and Bator found often that the reverse direction was surprisingly simple. Funniest of many gay moments at the head-table was Mr. Crocker's serving the apricot cream pie onto no plate at all. As for the midyear examinations, and Leave It to Psmithf' and the dance,-let each reader here supply his own recollections. The spring term with its snowy, cold April, curtailed rowing and baseball programs, its day of endurance contests in College Entrance Exami- nations, and gradual arrival of the impossibly full but evanescent month of May seems already a kind of telescoping of all spring term memories over the six years. Other pages of this volume will readily bring to mind the real history of the final year, with its sweetly solemn Prize Day that for most of you was to end, for a while at least, your formal educa- tion, until the immediate task of serving your country was accomplished. In Wordsworth's words which you have countless times heard the Rector quote, Happy time it was indeed for all of us. -A. G. G. l33l Fourfh Razr: f'. Morgan, V. Erhari, G. Coogan, I .

ATHLE IC Football The Groton Team was fortunate this fall in being able to play a full seven game schedule despite the war and transportation difficulties. Some schools, for example Hotchkiss and Kent, whose geographical location made their trans- portation problem more serious than most, were forced to abandon their sched- ules entirely. The question of whether or not to have outside games this year was carefully considered by the headmaster and the faculty Athletic Association and an affirmative decision was made for several reasons. In the first place, it was felt that the outside games give an impetus and tone to football through- out the School which cannot be attained by intra-mural competition alone. Furthermore, the friendly contact and relationships with other schools, which are furthered by athletic contests, seemed to be a healthy and valuable thing for both boys and masters. The fact that almost all other Massachusetts schools were planning to continue their schedules with the elimination of long trips, and that all our opponents were anxious to play us, naturally influenced our decision. Finally, it seemed unwise from the point of view of school morale in this particular year to substitute a new and experimental intra-mural fall program in place of the usual football season which we were prepared for and which the boys were anticipating. The Pomfret trip was called off because of the time involved in the train trip. This was a keen disappointment to the squad, but we were fortunately able to fill that date with a home game with Lawrence Academy, the first between the two schools. Our prospects appeared anything but bright this year, inasmuch as we had lost by graduation last year's entire First Team and many of the regular replacements. Furthermore, with a small Sixth Form, only ten of whom were on the squad, we knew we would have a young, green team. In spite of these obvious handicaps, there was some reason for optimism in the calibre of several of the candidates whom we knew about from last year's performances on teams B and C . Captain F. Coogan, D. Gray, A. Key, and T. West formed a promising nucleus for a backfield. J. Robb at center, Ames and W. C. Loring at guard, H. Davison, Cabot, and F. Amory at tackle, and W. Crocker at end were the leading contenders for the forward wall. Poillon, E. Scott and Martin carried on a three-way competition for the other end, and all three saw a lot of action during the season. As is so often the case with a squad which is both young and green, the spirit and enthusiasm ran high, and the desire to learn coupled with an en- during capacity for hard work, enabled the coaches to bring the team along faster than had been expected. The first game, which was played with Roxbury Latin after only seven days of practice, was a pleasant surprise to the Groton camp, but not to our veteran opponents, who were defeated by the score of 21 to 7. l48l' 11llI'lIIU 1 11111111 N1111111111111 1111 111111111111 X111 1111111' 1111111 li 111 IX 11111 1111111 1111111 1111111111 11111 11111 Nlgll 11 1 11111 N1 1111' 1111 N1 lNl1l1 11111111, I1 lllllll 111 1 N 111111 1111111 11llNXl1l1 111N 1 1 111111 1131111111 11111, IIII1 111111111 11121 111 11 1111 111:1111l flllx aww 1 111 1111 11 1l111lN111l1 111X1l1l11l 11111 1111x1111111111 1111111111 11111111111 1111111N1 11N 11111 111 1111 11111 1111111 1111' 11111 111 11111 11 111' 11111 1111111' 111111111151111l1111, 1 Ill 1111N 111 111 N 1, 11 11111 N111111l 11N 11111 111ll11l1111XXllN 1111 1111 11111 1J11l1Nl 111111111 11111 11111N 111 1 11111 1111' 51 11111 111 11111111 111111111 N1111g111 1lIl1 1 1 1 1 1 1 111 111111111111 111 1111 1111 11111 1111111 1 I1 1 1 Ill 111l1111X'1'11N1ll1 111 111111111111 11111 11111 1111111 11 17 X111 1,1 11 1 1 1, l1l11ll11111, 11111 11111111111 N1 111 1111111 11111N 111 1 11711111 11111 GS .. ..':' G 111. xvllglll N11 X1 11 lhllll 11 111111,5:111, I 11111111 ll 1 111111 ll C14 111 ll ' l 1 1111! 1 111N1111, 11 11111 Illl 1 N After a comparatively easy victory over Belmont Hill, in which Coogan as usual was the mainstay of our offense, we lost a hard-fought game to a heavy and well-balanced team from English High, three touchdowns to two. The Groton team, though badly outweighed, fought grimly throughout, but finally succumbed to the versatile running and passing attack of the visitors. Captain Coogan was again our outstanding ground gainer and pass thrower. As Milton had beaten St. Mark's the week before by a one-sided score, there was little question in Groton minds this year as to which was the objec- tive game. In accordance with long-standing tradition, this contest was as usual waged on a slippery field which required mud cleats, but the weather was fair. Milton was undefeated and Groton was the decided under dog. It was the same situation as the year before when Groton had been the only team to upset Milton. This year, however, the fates had decreed otherwise, and Mil- ton won a stubborn defensive battle by scoring a lone touchdown on a short- side pass over the line. Our only consolation was that we had out-rushed them decisively and stopped their vaunted running attack before it ever got started. It was a weird game, both teams playing with such spirit that there were fre- quent misplays and errors. The most disastrous one for us was a phantom pass from center due to a missed signal when we had a first down on the Milton nine-yard line. The St. Mark's game was played under the most difficult weather condi- tions anyone can remember since the freezing game at Southborough ten years ago. The temperature was 15 above zero, the ground was frozen as hard as rock, and an icy gale swept across the field with cruei velocity. Spectators and players were numb most of the time. The St. Mark's team, which had been through its most dismal season in years, played its best game and almost upset a dazed Groton team which had obviously hit its peak the week before and was distinctly below par. But for the almost super-human efforts of Fair Coogan, who fought his way through blue jerseys like a maddened bull until he finally made a touchdown practically unassisted, the game would have been a. scoreless tie. Due to the devastating wind, passing was out of the ques- tion, and consequently they were able to mass their defense against our running attack. Though St. Mark's never threatened to score, they fought desperately throughout the game and confused us with a close defense. In the opinion of the coaches the season was a distinct success, and, as we tried to express to the team at the football banquet, we cannot remember a squad which, because of its excellent morale, enthusiasm, and resiliency, was more enjoyable to work with. Captain Coogan and the other Sixth Formers on the team provided the necessary leadership which set the tone for the season. L.M.N. 450 I I 1942 Football Season Groton Groton Groton Groton Groton Groton Groton A Roxbury Latin 7 Lawrence' Aradvniy 12 Middlvsvx 0 Belmont Hill 0 English High 20 Milton 7 St. Marks 0 4521 Baseball As the ice on Romeyn softened up, Captain Robb and Goodyear were able to shift their attention from pucks and sticks to balls and bats, and practice in the cage got under way. The loss of last year's veteran infield and a catcher left some important vacancies to fill, but the coaches felt secure in the outfield with D. Gray and F. Coogan, both capable hitters and good ball-hawks, remain- ing. The pitching seemed certain to hold up with Ames to back the seasoned Goodyear. Winter continued on to the end of April and outdoor practises were handi- capped by freezing gales and gray skies. Nevertheless, a team began to shape together. George Martin won the third outfield post and Howe's pep and quickness gave him a slight edge on the extremely capable young Zabriskie behind the plate. The infield which faced Governor Dummer in the first game had Robb on first, Erhart at second, Witte at shortstop, and Goodyear at third. Shortstop had been a serious problem-Washburn had left the School and Low had been hit in the eye in batting practice. Groton started badly and bunched walks and a couple of hits gave Dummer a lead which was never wiped out, though we outhit them 12 to 5. Goodyear started the next game with Lawrence and turned in a no-hit per- formance for five innings. He and Gray got two hits and Coogan hit a long triple to help us in winning 9 to 0. In the first Middlesex game, Goodyear kept their seven hits well scattered and hit a home run. Coogan got another triple and Gray, Witte, and D. Key bagged two hits apiece to make the score 9 to 1. At Belmont Hill, Coogan hit a towering home run in the teeth of a gale and Goodyear breezed to a two-hit shut out 8 to 0. An infield shakeup moved Robb to short and brought Coogan to first, with Al Key and Caleb Loring re- ceiving outfield trials. The wind was blowing harder than ever at Lawrence as Groton won a wild 15 to 10 game marred by infield lapses. Martin got four hits and Robb tagged one for three bases. On the following Wednesday an English High team absorbed a record 18 to 3 drubbing. Their pitching was unusually weak and their hitting as well. Coogan, Goodyear, Martin, and Gray all hit for extra bases, but the seven errors com- mitted by Groton were an ominous indication of the debacle to come against Milton. 4531 Nllllllll gut! llw IllI'lilll! on il slmlqy lll'Ul0ll lllll1'lll mul. llSlIl ' ' Fw tlu lwunl zmcl flmluwl up style- ul' luiltingg. lnamalggm-nl tu gglvv Us :a V1-ry 11npl1':1s:mI Zll.lt'l'IlUHIl , hrulml s ll11l'lw'n lnls Sllflllltl lmvc- lu-1-I1 vnullgggll lu Wm -111 urrlm IIN lull Qfilllll xml tlw ll'2lIll lwpl trying, lm! 1lSll1lllllll llnumll-1' slurnl l lllQQ1llJXXll tlu 1'lll'l2llll Hll :1 ll In ln mlm-lvzll. llnvmg 1'm-r'm'm-11-ml lrnm ilu- Mllton sllovk wm- ilu-11 llaul :ln mls v B to l Vl1'lUl'X nw-1' Nllwllllvsm-x. llumlyvaxl' l'1lllll4'll l'oll1't4-ml lmltl-rs.

We hope to win them all and behind Goodyear's pitching, we have a fair chance of doing so. The infield is improving, Coogan, Goodyear, Gray, Robb and Witte are hitters of real power and con- sistency, and Coogan and Low are dangerous base-runners. The former has been a veritable nightmare to opposing batteries. Let us hope they all come through against St. Marks, which apparently has a strong defensive team. The prospects for next year seem fairly bright, with a good young battery, J. Gray and Zabriskie, and some capable infielders. Army service seems likely to deprive us of Goodyear, who would certainly have been elected captain and who, in his Sixth Form year, should have proved himself at least the peer of Charlie Devens. His control, speed and change of pace have been the greatest factors in the success of Groton teams over the last three seasons. R. K. I.

Baseball bats and gloves can be carried in trains and busses, but racing shells are another matter. With no outside races a first crew season would be pointless, so the authorities voted to have only the club races and to make up an honorary School Crew at the end of the season. Thus the two clubs reign supreme on the Nashua, and the First Monadnocks and Wachusctts are tops, This arrangement is for the duration only. The cancelling of races with other schools has of course been a disappoint- ment to Groton oarsmen, but they have taken it cheerfully and with an admir- able spirit, and their devotion to the finest of outdoor sports has been as enthusiastic as ever. After all, rowing is rowing, and the joy in the race and the satisfaction in victory are as great-almost-when one's opponents are Wachusetts for Monadnocksj as when they are Noblemen. Furthermore the boys' disappointment has been somewhat mitigated by the recent announce- ment of an informal eight-oar mile race with Middlesex, to be rowed on the Nashua in the week of May 23. This may or may not be after the end of the club season, but in any case it will be after this article has gone to press. Even the club season cannot be covered here In Toto, since the YEAR Book must be printed before the School's unusually early closing date, June 10. The system of having only club races-a system which has flourished at St. Paul's for sixty years-takes the writer back in memory to the early days when the Squannacooks and Hemcnways, the latter named for the donor of what is now called the Canoe House, raced for the cup which now stands oppo- site the Monadnock-Wachusett cup in the school dining-room. The last race in that series, in 1903, is recorded on the cup as a dead heat. A Squannacook- Hemenway race in those high and far-off times aroused almost as much in- terest and excitement as a St. Mark's game. But I was asked to write about present-day oarsmen, not about their grandfathers. The Wachusetts were fortunate this year in having six of their last year's victorious first eight again available and in inheriting David Biddle, their stroke and captain, from the 1942 School Crew. In the First Monadnock shell are five who rowed in the same boat a year ago. Francis H. Cabot III is their captain and stroke. As in the past, the club season is a two-out-of-three affair, but only one regatta has as yet been held. On Friday, May 14, the muddy water of the Nashua was churned up by eight racing crews, and, believe it or not, so efficient was Mr. 'l57l Zahner's management that none of the four races was behind schedule by so much as a minute. The Fourth Crews, rowing in four-oared barges, raced from the start to the float, and the Monadnocks won handily. The Thirds, using the same boats, rowed a slightly longer course-about three-eighths of a mile, the Wachusetts nosing out by four feet in a hair-raising finish. Did a Monadnock crab have something to do with this result? It did! The Second Crews-eights-rowed upstream from the finish to the float. The boats were nip and tuck until the home stretch, where the Modnanocks, showing more reserve power, pulled ahead to win by a length. The regatta ended with the race between the First Crews, rowed on the mile course over which Groton crews have raced for well over half a century, quorum pars . . . The Wachusetts got away to a good start, and Biddle drove his crew hard in the opening sprint, so that they were nearly a length ahead at the float. But Cabot stuck to it, with his crew backing him up well, and the Monadnock bow was all but overlapping the Wachusett rudder for the next half mile. In the last quarter Biddle raised his beat, and the red crew went away to win by one and three-quarters lengths in the fast time of 5:07. The second regatta is scheduled for May 21 and the possible third for the 28th. At a meeting of the First Club Crews Cabot was elected Captain of the River. Mr. Zahner is the First Monadnock coach, as he has been for many years. It was hoped that Mr. DeVeau would coach the Wachusetts, but his illness made this impossible, and the elderly writer of these lines was drafted to take his place. We two veterans have also done some work with the Second Crews, but they have been coached chiefly by Mr. Strachan QWJ and Mr. Nash CMJ. Mr. Strachan also coaches the two lower Wachusett crews, and Mr. Blackwell the Third and Fourth Monadioiffcs. 7 H. H. R.

'l58l Minor Sports Among the ranks of conscientious objectors to football in the Fall, were many who wished to continue and improve the interest in soccer. Captain Hugh Johnstone was seen daily displaying phenomenal tactics, both offensive and de- fensive, as the Upper School teams met in mortal combat each afternoon. When football was over and those gladiators of the grid iron swarmed over the soccer fields, a School Team was formed to play St. Marks' in the traditional battle. With Johnstone, Bator, Cabot, Coe, Hoyt, Kingsford, and Welling all adding to their power, we fought grimly for victory, but were overcome in the end 3-2. The Winter Term of 1943 saw far more Fives activity than has been evident before Cdespite the fact that this year's balls were allegedly rocks j Captain Cabot, Crocker and Witte gave many hours patiently teaching the finer points of the game to new boys who were eager to learn. In the climactic tournament, Frank Cabot conclusively proved his superiority by winning the Singles Cham- pionship. fNot satisfied with this achievement, he then went on to defeat Mr. Wright in a thrilling match, a feat which has seldom been equalled in Fives history.J An annually sore subject among winter sports enthusiasts is outside hockey games. However, after some persuasion and high pressure aid from Mr. Buttrick, several games were arranged with Middlesex, Lawrence Academy, and others. Only those with Lawrence and Middlesex were played, because of the usual thaws and snow. Of these, we could only manage to win one game from Lawrence, dropping two to them and one to Middlesex. Having been barely defeated by the latter 3-2 on their ice, a return game on our rink was eagerly anticipated. However, when the appointed day finally arrived, so also did thc rain and thaw, thus obliterating our chances for revenge. Captain Robb, Howe, and D. Key made up the first line, with A. Key and W. C. Loring at defense and Goodyear in the nets. Mr. Buttrick, whose fame as a semi-professional goalie was soon wide spread throughout the School Calthough we were never once favored with an exhibitionl, ably increased enthusiasm forhockey, organizing the Clubs into Rangers and Bruins led by Coe and Gould. The usual unruly games were played with disputes and arguments running wild, but when all was over, the Rangers appeared to have won more decisions than the Bruins and thus took the season. Basketball continued to rise in popularity especially among the Fifth Formers with only Coogan, Robb and Poillon to uphold our honors on the floor. The season was climaxed by a thrilling and high-scoring game with Middlesesx which we finally pulled out 40-38 among feminine shouts of glee over the Washington's Birthday week-end. Several matches were played between this team and the masters on week-day afternoons. These, too, turned out to be most colorful with shouts of Shoot, Gurnee and Sink it, Paul, echoing through the Gym. In most cases the score could never be determined at the end of these games, but we are led to believe that the boys came out on top. 4601 Snrvly notm-worthy ol' montion lic-rv nrt- thc- various forms ot' t'omm:1nrlo . . , . . tzivtim-s p1':u'tim'1l :it N-hool this Xt'1ll'.
