We believe tl1at the year has been one of honorable achieve- mentg we hope that between the covers of this book will be found a clear and complete resume of all the events that have aided in making 1923-1924 a happy and successful year. We have depicted our school as we have known it at work and at play. It is our sincere wish that our efforts will result in preserving for our classmates many pleasant memories.

Let this page testify, however, that the supreme achievement of this school has been the development of character. Here we pay tribute to those who were taught by their old school to love lifeg who, when the call to duty came, however, feared not to die. No greater evidence of character, no greater achievements will be found recorded on the pages of this book. .Aw ,4 ' K- ,mia .. , . ,ig,.-, .T '15 199555 S3E? .L' 3Rinetp years Gntnarh IN 1834, on a farm facing what is now Main Street, approximately opposite the present location of Piedmont Church, were erected three buildings, the home of the Worcester County Manual Labor High School. The manual labor was done by students who worked on the farm in part payment of their board at the rate of eight cents-or less-per hour. These boys dined at tables separate from those 2CCup1ed by the boys who paid cash, but received substantially the same fare except that their table was not supplied with doughnuts. Tuition was 35.00 to 36.00 per term, room rent 82.00 per term, and board 81.20 per week. For twenty years the Academy continued in this location, meanwhile selling portions of its land to the railroads which came to stir the mechanical-minded students in the early forties. I' From. 1854 to 1869 the school led a first precarious and later more stable existence in ai new location at the corner of Belmont and Summer Streets, near What is now Lincoln Square. In 1869'Mr. Isaac Davis, who had been president of the Board of Trustees since the founding of the Academy, contributed largely from his private purse, and enabled the school to purchase the abandoned Dale General Hospital, the present Davis Hall. Built about 1850, the old hall had housed successively the Worcester Med1cal'College, and the Ladies Collegiate Institute-which added the north and south wings-, and had been a United States hospital for Massachusetts soldiers In the Civil War. From 1869 to 1880 the Academy occupied Davis Hall as a co- educational schoolg then girls were no longer admitted to the boarding department, and Worcester Academy soon became exclusively a boys' preparatory institution. In 1882 there came to head the school a man whose name is written large in Academy history, Daniel Webster Abercrombie, better known, like the immortal Arnold of Rugby, as The Doctor. Space does not permit a fitting tribute to the lman, but merely a tabulation of the additions which he made to the material equlpment of the school. Walker Hall was built in 1890, and named in honor of the President of the Board of Trustees, Mr. Joseph H. Walker. In 1892 Dexter Hall and Adams were completed. The Kingsley Laboratories were dedicated in 1897, an addition which gave a scientific equipment unsurpassed. The Megaron, the living room and later the treasure-house of the school's memories, was com- Pleted in 1905. In 1912 Gaskill Field provided' a more ample playing space in one Of the most attractive and best appointed fields to be found in the possession of a Preparatory school. The last, and to all boys old and new the crowning addition, Was the gymnasium, finished in 1915. Under the guidance of one principal the Academy had expanded from Davis Hall alone until it occupied the buildings and grounds which constitute its present material equipment. S In 1918 the Academy came under the guidance of the present headmaster, I amuel Foss Holmes. What Worcester has achieved and is under his leadership, Ct this book bear witness. 11 XV.-XLKER HAl,L THE MEGARON m. ,, ' ..

Sergeant-at-Army ' H121 members of the class of 1924, thirty-six in number, started on their school career in September, 1920. At first they did not especially distinguish them- selves, but soon a few joined the Glee Club, and the members of the class fought Very hard in the class games, One of our classmen made the varsity football team that season. After the Freshmen were a little better acquainted with the older men, four were initiated into societies. Throughout the year there was an average of three men on the honor roll, and the school was led nearly all year by a Freshman. In 1921 the class returned apparently wiser, for again the school was led by a member of the class, and over half the names on the honor roll were those of Svphomores. During this year five more classmen were given a hot reception into the societies, making a total of seven Sophomores initiated, two of the others not having returned. The class again fought for the athletic titles, but the upper class- mCn kept to the fore. .A Sophomore won the annual cross-country run, and in the Winter term the basketball and swimming championships went to the credit of the class of '24, Seven men won varsity letters, one of these being a 3-letter man, incidentally the one who made the football team in his first year. The class came back in 1922 with fourteen of its original members. We Won the class soccer championship after a close contest with the Seniors. The wrestling and basketball titles were added to our laurels in the winter term. Three varsity teams were captained by Juniors in the fall and winter terms, and fourteen letters Were awarded to class members. NVe had eight men in the Dramatic Club, six On the Vigornia Board, six on the TowERs Board, nine in the combined Nfusical Clubs, fifteen in debating societies, and seven on the spring track squad. In November Mr. Wade was elected faculty adviser for two years. 1n April llle class petitioned the faculty for their privileges, which were immediately given them. We helped 'the Seniors put over a very successful junior-Senior Dance, and m May our own dance went over with a bang. 35 am- ,, we 'N , if a gr' - W-........- 1 , as A , t beuiur Iaisturp QContinuedJ In September, 1923, the veterans of the class returned to school with best hopes for an exceedingly successful year. The old members of the class were first called upon to elect the monitors, the most important task of the year. Then came the election of oliicers, a source of much speculation. The class, however, was not entirely self-interested, but took a part in every school activity, a fact illustrated by the number of Seniors who were awarded their W's. On the football team We had seven men-not a large number, but could those seven play football? I Wonder. We had ten men on the soccer team and three on the cross-country. Not least of all was the class championship soccer team. During the winter an unusually small number of Seniors were in gymnasium classes. We had very large representations on every varsity team. Five Seniors Won their letters in swimming, all except one of the basketball team were Seniors, and Afour classmen were wrestlers. Of course, athletics alone did not fill the minds Of Seniors. The Senior Prom was not a minor activity, and all but one of the parts Of any importance in the winter play were taken by classmen. After the weatherman decided that he had sent us enough snow, the sun at last Caine out in all its glory to shine upon the many activities of the Spring. The various squads were called out, and a goodly number of Seniors responded. The letter-men have not yet been chosen, but it is a safe bet that a large number of Seniors will be on the lists. Other activities have occupied our attention, also. The Dramatic Club and Glee Club had a large percentage of Seniors in them. The debating teams were Igafle up of nearly all Seniors, and the orchestras were almost wholly composed of enlors. The work that has been accomplished this year by the class is a result of the co-operation of every man in the class with our Faculty Adviser and the Head- master. We think that we have made a few strides ahead of past classes in several WQIYS. We have tried our very best to live up to the ideals of the school and hope that other classes to follow will go much farther than we have gone, until the plan of Class Government shall have become not an experiment but an established fact. 37 CC USTERN is the most quiet and unassuming fellow on this sunset gilded hilltop.

Buster hails from Whitinsville, Nlass., but all we know about the place is that there was a railroad wreck near it in March. Some town and some boy! And did you notice him tripping the light fantastic at the Senior Prom? Since they say Providence is a wild town, we hope Buster watches his step.

A. dramatics, by making a part in one of the Fall Plays. In the Winter Play, as the old bewhiskered English baron, he drew more laughs than anyone else by his clever character impersonation. Johnny', was the real reason why the Seniors won the class soccer championship last fall. He was the Senior goal-tender, and saved his teammates from being scored on many times by his excellent blocking. In the Junior game, Johnny stopped twenty- one attempts for a goal in one half alone. The fellows in Dexter made things too hot for Johnnyg so he moved up in dormer in Main Davis to freeze nearly to death during l the winter. l Glee Club '24g Numerals Class Soccer '23g Fall W Play '23g Winter Play '24. , JOHN Cmrifonn ALLEN johnny Wesleyan 38 ERE is the fellow who many times was very instrumental in guarding our goal in soccer last fall. Aesop, one of our select New Yorkers, played a halfback position, and his timely boots out of danger helped the team to a great extent. It is said that Aesop', tried to play pool in the Spa one day, but gave it up as a bad ' job, for in addition to not learning anything about the game, he' came out with his present nickname bestowed upon him by Damon. Aesop,' says that since last Xmas, he abhors going home on vacations in drawing rooms filled with fellows who must have their pull on the nasty weed. Aesop was always plugging, and he got results.

Rui University of Texas OGER says that he has no nickname, but we can remember that at one time he was nearly named Eskimo Roger was the Glee Club's standby with his good voice and ability on the piano, and he often played in Mr. Thompson's place at the morning chapel services. Roger played the part of the leading lady in one of the Fall Plays, and also in the Winter Play. It is an accepted fact that he made the best-looking girl that has acted on the old Kingsley stage in many a year. Some young lady remarked after seeing the Winter Play that she could teach him some- thing about love-making, but that remark detracts nothing from Roger's acting. In fact, we are sure that Roger, our Eskimo from Upper Montclair, N. J., could make a name for himself as a second Julian Eltinge.

The Spring of '22 witnessed the arrival of Henryon the Hill. We owe a great debt to Henry, for it is he who sponsored Worcester's Glee Club. Many of us can remember when Worcester was without that organization, and now that we have it so firmly established, thanks to Henry, we wonder how we ever got along without it.

Upon entering school last fall, Brad went out for the cross-country team. He was kidded a great deal about his flat-footed stride, which is usually considered not good running form, neverthe- less, he stuck to it, and won his letter in cross-country. He was one of the fortunate ones to go to New York with the Glee Club, and told us on his return that New York was quite a nice place. Brad was not very well known about school, as he was naturally quiet and busy with his studies, which he handled in good shape. There was one thing about Brad , however, that we never could quite under- stand. Why did he take French 4 under Mr. Blanchet when, as he said himself, he did not need the credit for college? I'lENRY CHASE PAGE, JP.. Henry Rensselaer P. I. WESLEY Fniznnruc PATIENCE OMEHOW we'd always pictured patience as a rather slow, quiet, and modest virtue. We realized our mistake about January, 1923. When Patience per- sonified descended on the school from a town named Hartford Cdaown in Connecticutl, we soon learned the truth about patience. He is far from slow and quiet. Either on the board track or chasing delinquent Vigornia assignments, he steps about right speedily. Now this virtue on feet confesses to one weakness, that of liking to see his name in print. Luckily it's a weakness easily satis- fied for him. Pat should go far, and we hope he does. He's jumped the gun on the rest of us, for he had one virtue handed him at birth.

'ti We x Ciba jlliluniturial Quart System HE idea of the Board of Monitors is so well fixed in the traditions of the school that we can scarcely conceive of a time when it was not in force. It has been operating for manyyears,for thirty-seven to be exact,and the tablet in the Megaron bearing the names of the Head Monitors of theschool bears witness to the age of the system. In 1887 the first Monitorial Board was instituted by Dr. Abercrombie with the Reverend Hartwell Bartlett as Head Monitor. The idea differed in many ways from the present system, both in manner of selection and in duties. For many years, up until about fifteen years ago in fact, the Board was selected by the faculty and was five in number. Some years the number varied, there being six or seven members of the Board. Although in most ways the early monitors were given less power than at the present, yet they had one seemingly great responsibility. That was marking the school on deportment. About fifteen years ago the first signs of the present conception of the system appeared. It was then that the Monitors were first elected by the Senior class from a list of ten submitted by the faculty. This method continued with varying modifications, with strong Boards and weak Boards until 1919. In that year the urgent need of a readjustment was felt. There was leadership neither in the class nor in the Board of Monitors. There was a strong Junior class that year, however, and it solidified rapidly. When the class of 1919 returned as Seniors, they forged and put into operation the present Senior plan with the assistance of hir. Holmes and the faculty. This.Senior plan provides for a Monitorial Board of seven elected by the Senior class and approved by the faculty. The Head Monitor is still chosen by the faculty. This 'plan also embodies the Senior privileges and pledges the Senior class to helpful leadership in the school. lt is interesting to make a survey of what the Head Monitors have done since leaving school. Of the thirty-seven three are dead, twenty-one in business, four are ministers, one a teacher, two are lawyers, one is a physician, five are students, and one is unaccounted for. The twenty in business include presidents, secre- taries, and treasurers of corporations, athletic supervisors, one with McMillan in the Far North, a graduate secretary of the Philips Brooks House at Harvard, an official of the English Speaking Union, and several salesmen. Therefore, it can easily be seen why we should be proud of our monitorial system. u The Board of Monitors for 1924 was composed of Ralph W. Turner, Head- Monitor, Courtney F. Bird, Hayward S. Houghton, Charles N. Proctor, Richard D. Rheutan, Charles H. Stallman, and Robert W. Stoddard..

Secretary JAMES ELMER BARRETT . ...... . . Treasurer IX members of the class of 1925 left the protection of the parental wing at a tender age and entered the prep class of the Academy. Two of the number entered the lower grade of the Junior school in 19193 the other four joined in 1920. These six are the charter members of the class of 1925. As preps of course they merited little recognition except that they were envied by the upper school at chapel time when the youngsters gathered in Adams Hall for their crackers and milk. With the milk of the prep class days still Wet upon our lips, we started on our school career strengthened by a goodly number of green candidates, who added a rare luster to that emblem of first-year unelightenrnent and verdancy. In this year, for the most part, we were lookers-on at the busy activities of the school, and we looked with admiring eyes at the feats of those great men in the upper classes. Far remote was the thought that some day the honor of being school heroes would be ours. Gradually the greenness wore off, several members of the class showed a bit of gray matter and topped the school honor list. Two freshies became wearers of Sigma's purple, while two others put on the red and white badge of Lego. S As, blooded sophomores we blossomed forth in 1922 with real Worcester pirit.' The class took an active part in every branch of school life. Fourteen school letters were won by Sophomores. The class was represented on every school team. Four of our members were in the Dramatic Club and three sang in the Glee Club. At mid-years The Ranking Ten were led by a member of our class. The societies selected six more of our number, bringing the total to ten. On the athletic field the class distinguished itself not only by its large representation on varsity teams, but by winning the Wright and Ditson baseball trophy. Perhaps the most outstanding proof of the class' athletic ability is shown in the fact that three of this year's captains were chosen from our ranks. Last September the class was nearly intact and set out with a determined spirit to show what it could do. We Won the class football championship from the Seniors. Naturally we are represented strongly in every school activity, so that next year we may step into the places of the Seniors and fill them capably. There are nineteen Juniors in debating societies, a larger number thantusual. The class was late in selecting its faculty adviser and organizing. However, when Doctor Freeman was elected as the adviser, he quickly prepared the Junior Plan for our endorsement, and petitioned for the privileges, which were granted. With strength and confidence we look forward to next year with determination to uphold the ideals of the school and our class. 85 'I 'N Q, 3 E M I. ,.

HE Worcester Academy branch of the Y. M. C. A. opened a most active and successful year on the first Saturday evening with the annual reception given in honor of the new fellows in order that they might get acquainted with the old fellows and the masters. About Christmas time the Y distributed the school manual, in which was printed a directory of all the students, along with the school cheers and songs. The regular weekly Y meetings were held during the fall and winter terms. In these, different members of the faculty spoke, including Mr. Holmes, Mr. Beazley, Mr. Wade, and Mr. Currie, traveling secretary of the Y. M. C. A., who was making a tour of the New England prep schools and colleges. Besides the weekly meetings and the speakers, the Y was able to obtain several outside speakers. Mr. Harris of the Appalachian Mountain Club gave a very interesting illustrated lecture on climbing Mt. Katahdin, one of the most beautiful mountains in Maine. A colored quartette from the Hampton Institute in Virginia gave a very delightful program of negro songs, and Mr. Cornish, a graduate of that institution, spoke on the life and the work of the school. Mr. Furlong, an author of several outdoor books, gave an illustrated lecture on Pata- gonia. Mr. Oldys delivered a most interesting talk on birds and bird music. Carveth Wells returned to us again this year and gave another fine travel lecture. The school was very fortunate this year in obtaining the Y. M. C. A. Con- ference on April 26 and 27 of all the Preparatory Schools of Central and Southern New England. During the Winter term, the KY resumed the weekly student Bible Classes that have been conducted for the last three years under the super- vision of Mr. Beazley. These classes were held in the different dormitories on the first six consecutive Monday evenings of the winter term, and were led by the fellows themselves. After the school closed last spring, the school again sent down delegates to the Y. M. C. A. Conference at Blairstown,.New Jersey. The delegates were headed by Mr. Holmes and Mr. Beazley, and included Charles Stallman, Samuel Hull, Russell Bath, Everett Ashley, and Stewart Bliss.

Schmclzcr, '24, The Ghost Storyf' by Booth Tarkiugton. 104 ,Lil an AE, p Utne fall Germ laps HE Worcester Academy Dramatic Club this year opened the season with the presentation of two short comedies, one by Richard W. Schmelzer, '24, and the other by Booth Tarkington. A The first, a farce in one act called Shakexpeare Elopes, was very cleverly done with Howard Trivcrs and William Neilson in the title roles. The story was that of a young, eccentric Shakespearean biographer, who, while visiting the home of his publishers, arouses the suspicions of the police by his peculiar actions. A detective, with the purpose of spying on him and possibly arresting him for being a Supposed escaped convict, bribes the family butler to disappear temporarily so that he may take his place. just as the young author is about to elope with the daughter, he is accosted by the disguised detective with a warrant for his arrest, but the real butler comes to the rescue with a newspaper report of the capture of the convict. The matter is cleared. up, and the couple proceed with the elopemcnt. Those who took part in this play besides Trivcrs and Neilson were Thomas Humble, Robert Tripp, Charles Dreifus, Frederic Ayer, Donald Sisson, and Maurice Robin- son. The other play, also a one-act comedy, was The Ghofl Story. This was put on very well with Parker Wood playing the part of the young fellow home on a vacation from college. He is especially interested in a certain young lady, played by Roger Brigham, who is quite popular with the younger set, but whenever he calls on her she has a houseful of guests and he never gets a chance to talk to her. Finally, on the very night he is to go back to college he calls on her, hoping to get a chance to be alone with her and tell her what is on his mind. Just as he gets to the most important part of his tale and is just ready to pop thc question, the usual crowd of young people come in to spend the evening. The hero tries to tell a ghost story so gruesome that they would leave, but just as he comes to the climax of the tale, the girl in question bursts out in hysterics and after quieting her, the crowd leaves, making him come with them. But he sneaks back, quite concerned about her condition and finds her perfectly all right, for she had pretended to be hysterical in order to have her guests leave. After some prompting by the girl, he finally asks her the well-known question, and is accepted. Others in this play were Chapin Riley, Horace Burton, Stewart Leber, John Allen, Norman McDonald, Fisher Hills, Holman Clark, and Lincoln Stoddard. 105 Ji ' 'ran , - ..,...........L-........ fi V' we rarazas winter iBlap Gite Glbampiun A comedy in three acts by Thomas Louden and ALE.,-,Thomas CAST Jane Burroughs fWilliam's motherl . .

Director HE Glee Club this year has had a most successful season and under the fine directorship of Mr. Dean Winslow Hanscom, a singer of note himself and one who has had awide experience in directing Glee Clubs and in choralwork throughout the East, they have accomplished wonders. Mr. Hanscom built up a Glee Club that would be very hard to equal in any school the size of Worcester in the country. The Club held rehearsals twice a week in the Glee Club room in the gymnasium, and after rehearsing all fall, they Went to New York on the second of February, where they competed in the Second Annual Interscholastic Glee Club Competition in which they conducted themselves with much glory for an organization that had existed for only two years. Each school entered sang three songs, a song selected by the club, a prize song selected by the judges, and the school's own song. Out of the nine preparatory schools, among which were Andover, Choate, Peddie, Kent, Loomis, Brooklyn Polytechnic Prep., Hotchkiss, and Taft, we received fourth place. On March twenty-seventh, just before the boys went home for the Spring Vacation, the Club gave a concert before the school in the Chapel. Then on April eleventh, there was held in the Gymnasium what might well be termed the First Annual Combined Concert of the Worcester Academy Glee Club and the Girls' Glee Club from the Bancroft School. This was a very successful affair and the whole program spoke well for Mr. Hanscom's excellent tutelage. As a result of this concert, the Club sang before the General Convention of Rotary Clubs at their invitation on April twenty-second in Worcester. Here they sang before a group of over six hundred business men from all over the country. Not enough credit can be given to Mr. Hanscom for his work in putting the Glee Club on the map, and we feel that it will form a precedent for future Clubs that will be a matter of pride to Worcester. 112 4 Qzzcfao 3 Mfmu P'- 1 wmmzq bzMl4-X .Am , ?......W.M....,.....,..,....-M.-a......- . - i i .-.-...Nm--1----Q--M-......... 3 . ff 1 , ' 2 , 5,5 ,Cm with QQ? ,.., - ' ' 123 fl we . .su Mi li ' 2 I 'i1li'i 5 Behating ROR many years debating has been 'a big factor in the development and growth of the student body. This last year has been no exception. This branch of student life has not been confined to the debating societies, but has also been carried on by the members of the Senior class in chapel. As a part of the English curric- ulum, four Seniors debated each Friday morning of the fall term on assigned subjects. This gave the fellows excellent practice in writing and delivering their speeches. The first of the inter-society debates took place on Tuesday evening, December eighteenth. The debate, which was between the Agora and the Legomathenian Societies, had for its subject, Resolved: That the political prisoners sentenced under the espionage act during the World War should now be given their liberty. The judges' decision was awarded unanimously to the aflirmative,upheld by Agora. In the second inter-society debate of the year, which took place on Saturday evening, February ninth, Sigma opposed Lego. The subject was, Resolved: That the Philippine Islands be immediately granted their independence. The decision was unanimously in favor of the negative, upheld by Sigma. The last inter-society debate of the year took place in the Megaron on Saturday evening, March twenty-second. The debate, which was between the Sigma and the Agora Societies, decided who was to have the second leg on the cup. Sigma, up- holding the aliirmative, won the unanimous decision of the judges. The subject was, Resolved: That the United States should immediately enter the World Court under the Hughes Reservations. The crowning feature of the year in debating was the Worcester-Williston Debate. The subject of the debate was Resolved: That a new voter in the coming election should cast his ballot for the nominee of the Republican party, assuming that Calvin Coolidge will be the nominee. Worcester's home team, consisting of Ashley and Teele, with F. Dow as alternate, upheld the affirmative, winning the unanimous decision of the judges. The team which went to Williston to uphold the negative of the same question was made up of Hackett and Turner, with W. Patience as alternate. This team won by a two-to-one decision. Thus Worcester won her second double victory in four years. For the first two years the results were ties. 117 -D 'f'fW l ' 'lIf i'li ln!

Lego has always been fortunate in having leaders in the various activities of the school, and this past year has been no exception to the rule. Many new fellows attended Lego's fall reception, at which Mr. Holmes gave them a concrete view of the value of the debating societies both to the school and to the individual fellow. Soon after this reception, Lego was able to occupy her remodeled room in Main Davis, of which she is justly proud. By obtaining the highest scholastic average of any of the three societies in 1919-20 and in 1922-23, Lego already has won two legs on the scholarship cup given by the Harvard-Worcester Academy Club. Lego is now making a strong bid for the permanent possession of the Cup, for they are attempting to win the cup for the third time this year. In 1922-23, there was a triple tie in the inter-society debates, Lego iirst winning from Sigma, and then losing to Agora. Lego met with less success in debating in 1923-24, losing two debates, the first to Agora and the second to Sigma. This makes Lego all the more determined to come back strong next year. Lego's motto is No reward without effort, and the Senior members who are leaving are con- fident that the members in 1925 will successfully carry the standards of Worcester Academy's oldest society to the foreground in all activities.

Throughout the many years of active work, her aim has been to promote both brotherly feeling and good citizenship among the members' of the whole school. She has always stood for upright 'character and high attainments in scholarship. Sigma has excelled in athletics, however, she has not made athletics the essential quality in selecting her members. Sigma's fall reception was attended by many new fellows, who received a glimpse of society life in the school. Speeches were given in which the guests were told the qualifications that were needed to make a society at school. The annual spring banquet was held last year in the Bancroft Hotel. After an enjoyable dinner, several speeches were given by the honorary members and a few society members, and music was furnished by the Sigma Orchestra. The Christmas turkey dinner was another function which added to the plea- sant memories of the school year. Sigma has now two legs on the scholarship cup offered by the Harvard- Worcester Academy Club. This year, she has proved to be very successful in debating by winning from both Agora and Lego, thus getting the second leg on the Gaskill Debating Trophy. Sigma started this year very strong with fifteen members of the previous year back. All the members have struggled to keep the motto of the society, which has been Quality and not Quantity.

That she has been successful in the first is shown bythe comradeship of her members, both to each other and to those outside the society. As for her debating activities, a slight summary will show that this branch of society life has not been neglected. In 1920 Agora won her first leg on the Gaskill Debating Cup, and brought about a triple tie in 1921 and 1923. She has always been well represented in the Worcester-Williston debates. Last year the negative team was composed of Agora men. That Agora does not lack in scholars is shown by the fact that she won the Harvard-Worcester Academy Scholarship Cup in 1918-1919. Agora opened the society life of the school with a very successful reception in her room in September. Another big occasion which provided much enjoyment for the Society was the annual turkey dinner which came just before the Christmas vacation. It will long be remembered for the unexpected debating talent that was shown by two of our honorary members, Mr. Delahanty and Doctor Freeman. just before the close of the winter term, Agora gathered in her room for a general good time in which some of the newer members took a most active part. Agora won her first debate this year from Lego, but lost the cup to Sigma in the last debate of the year. However, she feels that she has had a most successful year, as her members have shown an abundance of good-fellowship and comradcship. HONORARY MEMBERS MR. SAMUEL F. HOLMES V MR. ROBERT J.

Its founder, Dr. Abram WV. Harris, conceived the idea that a society in secondary schools similar to the Phi Beta Kappa Fraternity in colleges would stimulate more interest in scholastic attainment. Since its conception in nineteen hundred and six, the Society has grown by leaps and bounds, until, at the present time, there are more than forty chapters, distributed among all the important secondary schools of the country, and more than two thousand six hundred members. The Worcester Academy chapter was established in nineteen hundred and twelve. This organization was originally called the Alpha Delta Tau Fraternity, but the name was later changed to the Cum Laude Society in order to avoid confusion with the Greek-letter fraternities of an entirely diiferent nature. The Society, which has been incorporated under the laws of Maryland, has recently amended its constitution so as to open its membership to girls as well as to boys. The object of the Cum Laude Society, as stated in its constitution, is the encouragement and reward of high scholastic attainment on the part ofthe students in secondary schools.

Trivers was elected president. The other Officers were Augustus F. Elias, vice-president, and Roger Brigham, secretary. - At the semi-monthly meetings papers were read on topics of historical import- ance. Through the efforts of Mr. Farnsworth, several well-known outside speakers were obtained. Dr. Langer of Clark University, formerly an instructor at the Academy, spoke on Some Secret Springs of the War. Mr. Maxwell Savage of the Unitarian Church gave a very interesting lecture On The Youth Movement. During the spring several trips were taken to historical places in and around Worcester. One Of the spots visited was the home of Rufus 'Putnam in Rutland. It is with real appreciation that the members of the History Club thank Mr. Farnsworth for his earnest efforts to make the Club the success that it has been.

Trainer HE football season of 1923, although not quite so impressive as last year's, was one of the most successful in many years. Coach Delahanty started the season with only three letter-men and no captain. Harnden was later elected to this position. The new material looked none too promising, causing many doleful predictions around the school, yet Coach Delahanty moulded a team that gained one of the most impressive victories over Williston in years. The schedule opened with Andover as the opponent at Andover. Our light and inexperienced team sprung a welcome surprise by holding the heavy Veteran Blue and White team to a scoreless tie. Worcester missed a touchdown by only an inch in the second half, after a wonderful series of line plunges by Harnden, Kennedy, and French. Andover tried an unsuccessful place-kick in the closing minute of the game. The second game, which was against the Springfield College Seconds, gave the school its first chance to see the team in action. Although outweighed by the collegians, we showed better teamwork and handled the ball more cleanly. Our touchdown came in the first quarter and was indirectly the result of a penalty against Springfield. Starting from the middle of the field, Harnden's men gained four successive first downs, and French carried the ball over for the first score of the season. Springfield tried numerous passes, but only a few were successful. Turner intercepted one on theirthirty-yard line, and Harnden scored three points on a dropkick. The number of injuries sustained in the preceding game rather hampered our team in the next game. Cushing, however, was under a greater' disavantage, as her men had not entirely recovered from the effects of fighting a bad fire two nights before. A new star, Follett, was uncovered in this game. He made several fine end runs. The first touchdown came as the result of line plunging in the first quarter. Harnden went through tackle for the score. Savage circled end for the second touchdown in the last half. Turner intercepted a forward pass in the closing minutes, and the second team, with Harnden in, scored the touchdown. Follett again starred in the Brown Freshmen game when he ran back a punt for a touchdown in the second quarter. A recovered Brown fumble on her twenty- yard line in the last quarter paved the way for our second touchdown. Line plunges brought the ball to the one-yard line, where Follett made it two touchdowns for the day. Harnden got the extra point after both touchdowns. The following week we met Exeter in the biggest home game of the season. Exeter came down from New Hampshire looking for revenge for last year's defeat, 147 ,.w,,,.........,. ..., M.- ,Q,, ,,..,.. ...M ..,, ,,.....-...-a..- .A.,- W .... W ,. , -... ,... ..... .... .ff 11- A 'fil'fTi3H3 ...W but they got it only after the hardest kind of work. Outplayed for two quarters, Exeter came back strong in the last quarter and scored two touchdowns. Wright was the outstanding player of the game. He was down on every punt and corralled several loose balls. Worcester scored a safety in the first quarter when Elliot of Exeter was tackled behind his goal line after Harndenis attempt for a field goal had hit the scrimmage line and had been recovered by Exeter. WVorcester lost several fine opportunities to score as the result of fumbles or intercepted forwards. Exeter's first touchdown came as tl1e result of a fake play on our fifteen-yard line. Pine intercepted a forward pass on our thirty-yard line a few minutes later, and line plunges carried the ball over. Both attempts for the extra point were successful. The next game furnished many thrills, as it was not won until the last quarter was over. We outplayed the heavy Springfield Freshmen team, but at first were unable to score. Finally Coach Delahanty's men uncovered an aerial attack that was extremely successful. As neither team could gain steadily, there was a great deal of kicking,in which Harnden had a slight advantage. In the last quarter, Harnden tried an unsuccessful dropkick. A series of line plunges again brought the ball into position, and Harndcn's dropkick was successful. Worcester recovered a fumble on Springfleld's twelve-yard line, and the touchdown was soon gained. The season ended with a great 34-7 victory at Easthampton over our ancient rival, Williston. Turner was the star of tl1e game, scoring two touchdowns, al- though playing center. He first intercepted a forward pass and ran for a touch- down. Later, on a trick play he received a forward pass and earned us six more points. Williston was again fooled by our wedge formation, and in the second quarter Harnden ran back the kickoff for a touchdown. Worcester started the game with a rush and had a touchdown after a series of line plunges lasting only three or four minutes. Williston started an aerial attack in the second quarter which proved very successful. Crosby, their colored star, caught a forward pass and raced thirty yards for a touchdown. They lost a fine opportunity to score in the first quarter when they recovered a fumbled punt on our three-yard line. Four attempts at line plunging only gave them a loss of a yard. Another touchdown was added to the Red and Black's total in the third quarter as the result of line plunging and end runs by Harnden, Savage, Follett, and Meany. Five out of the six at- tempts for the extra point were successful. The close of a markedly successful season came with the ball in Williston's possession on our fifteen-yard line. R6Sl1l'I16Z Y NV.

The New England Champion- ship honors were won, starting, perhaps a second span of these honors. The season opened with a practice game with Clark University. Although Clark played well, Worcester won by a score of 4 to 2. The first real game of the season was with the Chinese Students of greater Boston. They proved superior to us, and won by a score of 2 to 1. Two games were scheduled with the Harvard Freshmen, but the first one had to be called off because of rain. On October 27, we held them to a tie III a game played on Soldiers Field. The Freshmen held us scoreless until a minute before the final whistle, when we scored and tied the score. The following week Andover came down with a strong team, but the Academy team was too powerful for them. We made up for the defeat of last year by a 1 to 0 victory over the Blue team. The undefeated Springfield Central High team was the next on the schedule. iVe were able to score at will and defeated them 6 to 0. The team made its second trip of the season when it went to Wilbraham, The home team was very strong and held us to a scoreless tie. The next team to go down to defeat was the hitherto undefeated Holyoke High team. The score was 2 to 0. The season closed on November 23 with a 2 to O victory over the Springfield Technical High team. hffuch credit is due to Coach Beazley and Captain Martino for their tireless efforts to help the team in victory or defeat.

CLAUSEN .Ma11ager,JAMEs W. CAMPION, Jn. Coach, GEORGE W. JONES H15 cross-country team under the leadership of Captain Tom Clausen had a brief but fairly successful season. The team engaged in two dual meets and the Harvard Interscholastics, losing the first meet but placing sixth in the Har- vard meet and closing the season with a victory. Coach Jones faced the task of training inexperienced material, but he had Captain Clausen and Rheutan, letter-men, as a nucleus around whom to build the team. The team's first opponent was the Springfield College Freshmen. The race was held on Friday, October 26, over our regular three and three-quarter mile course. The Freshmen proved too strong in numbers, winning 22 to 35. Captain Clausen led the way, but the Springfield runners won the next four places, closely followed by Conger and Coleman, the only other Red and Black harriers to place among the first ten. In this race Clausen came close to the school record by cover- ing the course in 19 minutes, 17M seconds. On November 3, our team journeyed to Cambridge and carried off sixth place even though Captain Clausen was unable to run because of a strained tendon. Conger finished twelfth in the meet, first for our team, Rheutan, Schervee, Coleman, and lVfcDonald following in order. The season was successfully terminated by an overwhelming victory over the M. I. T. Freshmen on November 10. Our team established a record by Winning the first five places, completely outdistancing their rivals. This team-work gave our harriers a perfect score, 15 to 45, which showed the fine results of Coach Jones's faithful training of his new team. Captain Clausen sacrificed a chance to break the school record in order to pace his men a11d led the runners through the gate, followed by Conger, Coleman, Rheutan, and SCllCI'VCC,,fiI1iSl1l!1g in the order named. The good coaching of Mr. Jones, the faithful work of tl1e squad, and the fine leadership of Captain Tom Clausen are responsible for the success achieved by the team this year. SUMMARY October 26 W.

HARDY Manager, I'IAYw,xRn S. HouGu'l'oN Coach, JOHN S. NIERRIMAN LTHOUGH the team started the 192-1 season with several rapid-fire victories over strong opponents, it was unable to keep up the fast pace, and ended the season by being defeated by our ancient rival, Williston. This slump was probably due to the fact that in the latter part of the season several regulars were taken from the team, because of illness. Five of the seven games were Won, victories being gained over such teams as the Harvard Freshmen, Exeter, Wiilbraham, and the Springfield Freshmen. The two games lost were to Andover and Williston. Of the five victories, four were won with high scores, the team scoring forty points or more in each one. ln these games the opponents were held to very low scores,one team tallying twelve points onlyand another but thirteen. John McGill, our fiashyforward,aided by Herb Cooley, starred on the offense, and,ab1y backed by a sturdy defense, scored the majority of the baskets. On the defense Con Hurley was invincible. But it cannot be said that there were anyindividual stars, for in every game the team played as a unit. In all the games, team work was an out- standing feature. The most interesting game of the season was the one with Exeter, the game being played at Exeter. The Red and Black quintet gained the lead at the very outset and held it throughout the game, although it was hard pressed to keep the lead at various times. Doc Watson played a sterling game for VVorcester with three fioor-baskets to his credit. The first game lost was to Andover with a thirty-one to twenty-eight score after an overtime period of five minutes had been played. Both teams played well, although Andover held a slight edge. For the opponents, Mumby, with nine fioor- baskets, was the individual star. Williston was the other team to score a victory. This game was also played on foreign territory. The score was thirty-nine to nineteen. The following men received letters: McGill, Cooley, W'atson, Kennedy, Follett, Hurley, Allard, Lashenske, C. Stallman. SUMMARY VV. A. 40 Harvard 1927 12 W.

DELAHANTY THE swimming team went through a successful season, winning seven out of ten meets. Mr. Delahanty built his team up around the five letter-men from the 1923 team, Harnden, Matheson, Campion, Folger, and Somerville, who all showed improved form over last year. The season was marked by tank records being broken in practically every event. Harnden lowered the time in the 20-yard dash to 242 seconds, and broke the record in the 100-yard swim with the time of S8 seconds. The W. A. 200-yard relay team made up of Somerville, Ellsworth, Shaw, and Harnden set a new mark of 1: 452 seconds in this event. Wingate of Andover broke the tank record in the 200-yard swim, swimming the distance in 2:23i seconds. Captain Harnden was the star of the team, swimming anchor on the relay team, and a consistent winner of both the 50 and 100-yard swims. Matheson dove very we1l,winning his event in all but two meets. Campion, Jones, and Gillis alternated as Matheson's partner in the meets, and all performed creditably. In the plunge, Fletcher was our best man, with Campion often pressing him. Shaw, a first- year man, was very useful on the relay team, and in the 50- and 100-yard swims he aided materially with much-needed points. Ellsworth, another first-year, Somerville, Hackett, and Folger all swam well in the shorter events. Winslow was a valuable man in the 200-yard swim, and even substituted in the 100 and the relay with success. The other 200-yard man was Gregory, a first-year man, who won his event in several meets. The team was a very well-balanced one, and deserves a great deal of praise for its splendid record. The presence of so many first- and second-year men on the team, who are developing rapidly, ensures another successful team next year. Harnden is to be congratulated for his remarkable swimming and fine leadership, Mr. Delahanty for the splendid team that he developed, and Shapira for his splendid work as manager.

WRIGHT LTHOUGH the prospects for a good wrestling team at the beginning of the A year seemed poor, a successful season was carried through by the unbeatable spirit of Captain Breed and his team. In a hard schedule of five meets the team gained two victories, were defeated twice, and wrestled to a tie against Andover. Early in the season lack of coaching handicapped the team, but this was rem- edied when Coach Wright took charge. Under his instruction the men developed greatly and demonstrated their skill against the strong Brown Freshmen team, conquerors of both Andover and the Harvard Freshmen. ' Against Andover the team also did well, winning two decisions and a fall, whereas Andover scored two decisions and secured a fall when Barrett unfortunately tripped and was pinned to the floor, making the result a tie. The team surprised the school when it decisively defeated Springfield Freshmen in the first meet. Despite their inexperience and lack of coaching our grapplers won two falls and two decisions. In the next meet, however, the result was reversed, and the M. I. T. Freshmen won every bout except the 115-lb. match, which Luis Chibas won by a fall. l On Washington's Birthday, the Harvard Freshmen wrestlers just managed to win by a decision. In the five bouts Worcester won two decisions and the Crimson three. Then came the team's splendid victory over the Brown Cubs. Wally Lee and Red Barrett won their first falls, and decisions were won by Breed and Plakias. Pieras a freshman in his iirst meet held his opponent to a draw. 7 7 In the objective meet of the season at Andover, the team put up a hard iight, but our rivals matched our strength and held 'us to a tie score by gaining a fall over Barrett. ' ' f h We ma well call Worcester's fourth year in wrestling successful be-cause o t e Y fine leadership of Captain Breed, and the coaching of Mr. Wright, aided by the faithful spirit of the team. Letters were awarded to Chibas, Captain Breed, Lee, Plakias, Enders, Rideout, Barrett, and Manager Richard Schmelzer. MATCHES W, A Springfield Freshmen S W. A M. I. T.

Some very good teams were produced, making the competition in all sports keen. The Seniors won three championships in soccer, basket-ball, and wrestling. The juniors won the football championship, the swimming meet was won by the Second Years, and the First Years led the way in the cross-country meet. The Juniors, winning the football championship for the second time since the inauguration of class football, had a fast aggressive team, and decisively out- played the Seniors in the deciding game, after the first game had ended in a scoreless tie. Gillis of the Juniors was the outstanding star of all the teams. Other men deserving mention were Page, Tripp, and Seiberg of the Seniors, La Freniere and Bischoff of the Juniors. Those receiving numerals were Gillis, Bischoff, La Freniere, Moore, Pelaez, F. P. Newton, Jacques, W. F. Smith, Fletcher, Pitman, Breed, Rhodes, Ayer, and Crawford. The Seniors, after losing their first soccer game, braced, and won the rest of their games. As in the football series, the championship depended upon the last game between the Seniors and Juniors. This was a very hard-fought game, the Seniors winning by a score of 1 to 0. Gutterman, Allen, and Dominguez played consistently well for the Seniors, and Urban, Ternes, and Neilson were the Juniors, stars. Gutterman, F. L. Dow, Marcy, H. Clark, Shattuck, Allen, Warren, Dominguez, Dewart, Kaufman, Hendrickson, and de Pombo received numerals.

I am submitting an editorial written by myself. It is very good and very clever. The joy of Prep School It is very nice to be in a big preparatory school with a whole lot of boys. To be very successful in school one must leap and frolic with one's classmates. The youthful exercise is good for the muscles. All boys should leap and frolic. It is also very nice to play with one's teachers. The influence of the older and more matured mind is very stimulating to youth. One should always like one's teacher for they are Very learned and wise. I like all my teachers. The joy of having something hard to do in school is unsurpassable. After overcoming a hard obstacle the youth is ready for his leap or frolic. ' The little girls which one meets in a great, big prep school are always very nice. They are or should be the inspiration of all the nice little boys. ' If the girls and boys could leap and frolic together, wouldn't this be a pretty world? Note to Editor: Dear Sir: After reading my editorial over again Iim inclined to believe that you will want me to manage your paper: so I'm informing you that if you will ask me in a very nice way, I'll be very glad to take your place as I'm such a good writer. Alfectionately, r IVAN IDEA 199 I , I... Q letters uf a Jfresbman ' Worcester Academy, Worcester, Mass. Sept. 18, 1923 MY DEAR ALICE: g I I arrived safe in Worcester as you see by this letter. This town is sure a big burg. I I'll bet I'll have a dandy time here this year. Probably be able to go out every night. Tomorrow we have exams, but I'll knock the old exams for a loop! They say they are easy and everyone passes. I am rooming in Davis Hall and it is some dormitory. Will write tomorrow. As ever, Oswald Sept. 19, 1923 ALICE ME DEAR: , Had to get up early today. The bells rang at a quarter of seven. I jumped right out and got to breakfast in lots of time. I was the first one there. They tell me they give a prize for the first one at breakfast every morning. I bought a seat in chapel for a dollar from one of the fellows. One of the fellows wanted to sell his radiator to me, but I have one in my room so 1 don't want another one. Must stop now as it is nearly ten. Witll love, Oswald Sept. 20, 1923 MA CHERE ALICE: They called out the football men this afternoon and I went out. You know what a hero I was in the Suncook game last fall, so I ought to make the team here all right. They tell me I'll make the team easy and maybe I'll be captain in a few years. Somebody threw a pitcher of water at me tonight, I ducked the pitcher, but got all the Water. Well, I must study now,'so good-bye. Ta Ta, Oswald Sept. 22, 1923 DARLING ALICE: I fiunked all my exams, but I am not worried 'cause nearly everyone Hunks here. I still hold the record for being the first one at breakfast every morning. I ought to get the prize because I have very little competition. Someone heard Mr. Del, the athletic coach, say I was a blossoming athlete and would make the team easy. I guess I am making them all set up and take notice. Some of the fellows went out on Sunday afternoon with girls, but you know, Alice, I am always true to you. .

Screeeech, Meoooow, ooooooooOOOOOh, raaaaAAAAAAAH. I am going to tell you a story about a SMALL CROWE. This CROWE used to feed in the FIELDS near the cross RHODES. The CROWE was a very WISE BIRD, and used to STOW his food away: One day as the CROWE was taking a sun-BATH a MILLER came walking toward him over the HILLS, breathing the sweet, fresh AYER. The MILLER stopped, having found a piece of WOOD, and had just started to HACKETT when a noise made him TURNER- ound. In doing so he TRIPPed over a STONE. The MILLER threatened to kill the CROWE and FREY him because the CROWE had laughed at him. But the CROWE only laughed MOORE and MOORE. The CROWE calmly Hew off to get some corn to drop into the BEEKS of his little BIRDS. The MILLER ran home and got his gun. He took a RIDEOUT over the HILLS to where the CROWE was. He shot at him again and again, but his AMES were always poor. The BIRD finally flew away. Although the MILLER waited with great PATIENCE, the CROWE did not return. Exhausted, the MILLER took a. KNAPP upon the ground, but in doing so he caught a bad cold. When he returned home the doctor said, ' Don't KAUFMAN. ' - As the CROWE was a HARDY BIRD he lived happily for many years, but the MILLER became delirious and slid down a BANISTER and broke his neck upon the HALL floor.

Greetings and Best Wishes to the Class of1924 COMPANIONSHIP is vital to boys. Three to four years in a good school mean many life-long friendships that are helpful and stimulating. If the battle of Waterloo was won on the fields of Eton, then surely every Worcester boy gains from his training in citizenship and in habits of application, and from his intimate friendships, power for the battleground of his manhood.
