But This We Know: He came to us-a smiling lad With serious intent, who stayed Too short a while. His ho es were highg And when he studied, worlied, or played, Wve learned his worth. Then we could sec ln him the useful man to be. He lived with usg He served with usg He gave his thought and time to usg He grieved with usg Rejoiced with us, So made himself a part of us! And we have heard how much he meant To those who proudly called him Son!', So fine he was that when he went- Ah, then, it seemed that life was done! For life was good, and life was dear, And life was sweet when he was near. He lived with themg He served with themg He gave his thought and time to them. He grieved with them: Rejoiced with themg So made himself a part of them! Now do we hear it said, He died! ls not our vision growing dim? Yea, we fwho bowed our heads and cried, He's ours! Wie will not part with himlnb Renew the faith that we put by: We tell you now, He did not dieli' For This We Know: They do not die who touch our hearts: They only visit Distant Parts. They turn aside! And this is sure: what love created will endure! -H. H. Wade E? 9 SET-+ x 1952 Warner Memorial Dedication AS W li recall the many inspiring student gatherings of the year, the spot- light is focused on that evening of April 9. when the first glimpse of the finished Lewis .l. Warner memorial proved overwhelming. This magnificent structure, flooded with lights. stood out sharp. clear, and beautiful as the arriving guests paused. struck by the beauty of its Georgian design, faced with red briek, set off by four huge marble columns. Few had realized the impres- siveness and artistic perfection of the interior as they alighted for the formal exercises of the dedication. The dedieatory exercises were simple. yet very impressive. Mr. Warner came so that the Hnal ehapter might be written in the ambition of his beloved son. The school regretted that Mrs. Warner was unable to be present. After the overture, Mr. llohnes welcomed the guests and paid tribute to the memory of Lewis. Ile then introduced Mr. Warner who had spared no expense in molding his son's ambition into stone. The simplicity and deep emotion of his speech of presentation will long be remembered. l hope that you of the future will derive as much benefit from this school as my boy did, were his opening words. llc then formally presented the building, which was accepted for the trustees by Paul B. Morgan, to the school. Mr. Morgan expressed the appreciation of Mr. Warner's generosity by these words: We are grateful for this building. We value it for its memory, for Ftzq- l952 757' i1 its sentiment, for its educational value. It brings to us the newer side of educationf' The impressive unveiling of Lewis's portrait, now hanging in the Boys' Club room, followed. Ralph Hewitt, president of Lewis's class, presented the portrait, and two monitors of the same class conveyed it to its appointed place. Mr. Stevens then paid a deep and touching tribute to Lewis. A play by the Dramatic Club, selections by the Glee Club, and the premiere showing of Edna Ferber's poignant story, So Big, concluded a memorable evening. Drew Eberson, the architect, personally conducted Mr. Warner on a tour of the building. The completion of this memorial, suitably adapted both for the showing of moving pictures and the presentation of plays, represented the culmination of a long cherished idea of Lewis before his death. The classic murals, symbolizing Lewisis leadership, charity, love for family, relationship to his friends, and appreciation of artistic values in life, add to the beauty of the interior, which is hung with rose. The back stage draperies of aquamarine, the tapestries toning with the decorative scheme, the statuaries-reproductions from famous museums in Europe-against the mellow ivory walls, all serve as a notable memorial to one of the truest and ablest of the younger alumni. Mr. Warner, in giving the auditorium, left nothing undone to make it the most modern with all the latest inventions and improvements. We are unable to thank him sufficiently for his generosity. 11 l 12 . 1 , Nik '55 I3 -5U'u- I95z E O Trustees, faculty, and student council, -- upholders of Worcester Academy on the long trail toward the Achievement of the Honorable O 14 ADL ,,,,f 1 15 U UT- I 'W T HE I ' i932 Q al Xi Gy I 'f'iiW'-S- ff- ff V' Ti iii ff 'A wil. f A U. if -I LW E ...-- -' z Board of Trustees MR.

ABERCROMBIE, beloved tutor of thousands of students, and Principal Emeritus of Worcester Academy after thirty-seven years of faithful service as Headmaster, was born in Bolling Green, Macon County, Ala., on November 25, 1853. At the close of the Civil War the family moved to Cambridge, Mass., where Daniel attended the grammar and Latin schools, and graduated from Harvard with the degree of A.B. in the year 1876. He had intended for some time to enter the law field and so attended the Harvard Law school. He was destined, however, to become an educator. In 1877 he accepted the position of Master in Classics at St. Mark's School at Southboro. Here it became evident that he was born to teach, and his aptitude was so un- mistakable that he discarded the idea of studying for the bar. From St. Mark's he went to Vermont Academy where he was an instructor for four years. ln 1882 he came to Worcester to enter upon his long and distinguished career at the Academy. The death of the Headmaster in the following year left a vacancy for him to fill. His career at W. A. is best summarized by an editorial reprinted from the Worcester Telegram: When Dr. Abercrombie became princi- pal of Worcester Academy, it was a small school, narrowly sectarian, unimportant to the outside world and almost so to Worcester. Meagerly housed beneath the four towers of Davis Hall, it lacked the equipment of a great preparatory school. When Dr. Abercrombie retired as principal in 1918, Davis Hall was one of two me dormitories. Dexter Hall had been built to meet the demands of a rowing enrollment. Recitations were Eeld in Walker Hall and in the Kin sley laboratories. Recreation was possibge on Gaskill Field, a little wa farther up on Providence Street, or on the cam us itself, or in the fine new ymnasium. ll'he boys ate in Adams Haig, with their teachersg and they read and played intellectual games in the Megaron. But the full measure of Dr. Aber- crombie's long stewardship is not to be found in the splendid plant on Providence Street. It lies rather with thousands of Worcester Academy alumni- old boys, they are called at the school. In every state of the Union, in almost every nation, some measure of Dr. Abercrombie's talents may be found in the work of bankers, statesmen, farmers, soldiers, lawyers, sailors, writers, composers, artists, manufacturers, engineers. The career of an educator is erha s most spectacular when it is pursues in tfie halls and uadrangles of our great uni- versities. tbut there are few colleges or universities in America which have not found their work easier because what they had to teach could be laid upon the solid foundation of secondar education which had been built by Dr. Abercrombie and his fellow teachers at Worcester. Dr. Aber- crombie personally had made the dead lan uage of Aristotle seem alive to hun- dregls of boys. And he had surrounded K 19 ..-1, I-Ui J- l93z himself with other teachers of competence and talent. There were men like the late Fred D. Aldrich, whose French textbook had just become a standard when its versatile author turned to the teaching of mathematics and astronomy. Old Worces- ter teachers generally taught well, As- sistant Principal Harry Seymour Ross became dean of the Emerson Colle e of Oratoryg Samuel F. Holmes succeeded Dr. Abercrombie as headmasterg Donald Mac- Millan gave up physical instruction at Worcester to become a world-famous explorer. evout in his religious belief, Dr. Abercrombie was never narrow or intol- erantg he led Worcester away from a sectarianism that followed his own faith and made it truly undenominational. A strict disciplinarian, Dr. Abercrombie pal- pably suffered when he had to pronounce in chapel some dark morning one of those sterner penalties which sometimes became necessary. Scholarl , loving the classics of ancient Greece, Er. Abercrombie was not pedanticg he delighted in the school's gymnasium, in the green turf of Caskill ield, in the sensational athletic successes of the school's many fine teams. When a Johnny Mayhew became an all-American halfback by nomination of Walter Camp, not even Mayhew could be more pleased than Doc A, his old teacher. When Worcester lost its big game to Williston, no back or line pla er on Union Hill was more sorrowful than liis principal. Dr. Abercrombie's fame as an educator spread and was recognized during his period at the school as shown by the galaxy of honors bestowed upon him from universities and colleges. Harvard, his alma mater, conferred upon him the honorary degree of LL.D. Brown University gave him his master's degree, Dartmouth the honorary degree of Litt.D., and Colby the honorary degree of LL.D. lie was made a trustee of Brown University and of the Newton Theological Institution. His excellence as a tutor, moreover, brought this remark from the late Charles W. Eliot, President of Harvard University, during a visit to the headmaster's Greek class: Dr, Abercrombie, this is not Greek you are teaching, it is life. Dr. Abercrombie has now left us, but the work he accomplished lives on. His memory will be sustained for years to come by men all over the world whom he inspired and taught. No greater tribute can be given him than the inscription on a tablet now in the school Megaron. It reads: To Da. DANIEL W. ABERCROMBIE, Litt.D., LL.D. Principal of Worcester Academy from 1882-1918 Inspiring teacher, wise administrator, master builder in things material and spiritual, uncompromising idealist who found the school weak and left it strong. 20 ll I ..l I 44 CITQD- J E ' I .- T1 Worcester Academy Hymn O God of youth and manhood., Great Captain of our race, We pray Thee grant to Worcester The blessings of Thy grace. Make her a light to all men, ln wisdom guide her way, And may our Alma Mater Reveal Thy truth each day. Defend the sons of Worcester, In honor keep us trueg And when we tire or falter, Our courage, Lord., renew. Make us in every conflict The champions of right, And in the hour of darkness Protect us by Thy might. Confirm in us the union Of mind and hand and heart, And make us firm in friendship When time our ways shall part. Where'er our lives shall lead us, We ask, O Lord, that we And all the sons of Worcester May serve mankind and Thee. -L. J. Smith 21 4, FUT- 1952 Zi ' S Fred Davis Aldrich WCJRCPISTEIR ACADEMY suffered an irreparable loss on October 4, 1931, through the death of her beloved Senior Master, Mr. Aldrich. During the winter term of the previous year his health had been impaired by an attack of the grippe. When the ninety-eighth year of the Academy was opened, the inspiring figure of Mr. Aldrich was missed on the campus by those who had previously exalted in his comradeship. He was confined to bed at his home, but the hope of all that he would soon return to his classroom was not lost. No graver shock could have affected those of the school who knew or had heard of his achievements than the sudden news of his passing. The service to which he dedicated his life lives on and can never die. Fred D. Aldrich was born in Thompson, Conn., and there he attended the public schools. Having completed grammar school work, he enrolled at Dean Academy, but left before graduation to become a bool-:keeper in the Slater Mills. ln 1889 he decided to return to school, and chose Worcester Academy, from which he graduated in 1891. While here he was extremely popular and brilliant, receiving two of the highest possible honors-the presidency of the senior class, and class salutatorian with first honors. Brown University welcomed l1is unusual ability after his graduation from the Acad- emy. llere he was prominent in undergraduate activities, being a member of Phi Beta Kappa, president of the junior class, business manager of the Brunonian and president of the Brown University Athletic Association. For ten years no student had received the rank in scholarship which he attained. ln the fall of 1895, he came to Worcester Academy, with the Bachelor and Master of Arts degrees, as an instructor in modern languages. Later he was transferred to the mathematics department of which he later became the head and supervised for twenty years. His love for modern languages did not wane, and he became a joint author of a French Grammar used over the entire country in secondary schools and colleges. Ile was termed by his friends as a man who could teach practically anything. During recent years, Mr. Aldrich assumed the duties of Senior Master and Alumni Secretary. His tasks were many, his labors arduousg but he was unstinting with his talent. Serving the Academy faithfully for thirty-six years, he was a nationally famous author, lecturer, and astronomer. An authority in the latter field, part of the credit for the naming of Pluto can be 22 03 5121-15- T l93z traced to him. 'l'hc Worcester Evening Gazelle contained his weekly articles on the stars. llc was, moreover, a director at the Leydon Tutoring School at llanover, N. ll., and a part owner of Little Squam Lodges, a tutoring camp at Ashland, N. ll. Mr. Aldrich always found time for activities broadly bene- ficial to boys and men. The vesatility which made him a successful teacher made him successful in many contacts outside of the classroom. To those who knew him, Mr. Aldrich's eongeniality and unselfishness were most evident. Whether on the campus or in the classroom his pleasant good morning and keen smile were always apparent. Mr. Aldrich lived for Worcester Academy and the upbuilding of the institution. To him the old boys of the school owe great devotion, for it was he who was at hand when a thoughtful, kind, understanding, cheerful person was needed for consolation or advise in time of worry. The thousands of friends join with our headmaster in this beautiful group of verses which so well characterizes Mr. Aldrich: His life was gentle and the elements So mixed in him, that Nature might stand up And say to all the world, 'this was a manl' The passing of Mr. Aldrich leaves a great void in the hearts of those who had the privilege of sitting in his classroom. W'ords cannot plumb the depths of sorrow attendant upon the loss of so dear a friend. To know him was to love him. More than a generation of students have marveled at a man who could be so dynamic, yet so tcndcrg so keen, yet so sympathetic, so versatile, yet so unassuming. He gave himself unsparingly to the Worcester he lovcd and to the Worcester that loved him. llis influence has woven itself into the very fibre of our souls. Somehow we are different because our lives have been touched by his and we pray that, in some small measure, we may reflect his beneficcnt example. llARol.n W. Pm-:ssoN, W. A., '17 Faculty, '21 I remember with the utmost distinct- ness the da that Dr. Abercrombie au- nounced in cliapel in Walker Hall his great delight in the assurance which he had just received that Fred Aldrich was coming from Brown to Worcester and would be- come a member of the staff for the coming year. The eagerness and expectation aroused by Dr. Abercrombie's enthusiastic prospzeetus proved to be justified beyond anyt ing that could have been anticipated. As a pupil of Fred Aldrich and in later ears in a friendship which I valued very highly, my affection and respect for him constantly increased. His death is an irreparable loss to the Academy institutionally and even more definitely a loss to hundreds of Academy men individually. Of no one of these is this more true than of myself. ERNEST M.

BURR BULKLEY PRESCOTT W. ROBINSON BERNARD C. MCDON.ALD ANTON KISHON DAVID PRESTON JAMES H. VEINO ON A time-honored tablet in the Megaron are engraved the names of the Head Monitors of the school. Since 1887, when Dr. Abercrombie first dispelled the haze of distance between master and pupil by placing some authority of student life into the hands of the students, this traditional oliice has been the Academyis highest honor and gravest responsibility, and none so honored has failed his trust. ln the early days of its history, the monitorial board was composed of from five to nine seniors, who were chosen by the faculty. In 1919, however, the full burden of election was given to the class, and any idea of aloofness was thus erased. Further progress was made in 1927, when the Junior class was given a representation on the Council. The present system of Senior and Underclass privileges was then devised through the collaboration of the Faculty and Student Council. Now, more than ever, the feeling is prevalent that the monitorial board is the strong weld between school, faculty, and student body, representing the spirit of Worcester Academy throughout the year. On Friday, October 2, in the presence of the student body and faculty, Headmaster Samuel F. Holmes installed the forty-sixth Board of Monitors of Worcester Academy. Calling the five seniors and two juniors to the front of the chapel, as has been the custom for many years, Mr. Holmes administered to them that sacred oath grown venerable with over a decade's use: Do you, in the presence of your classmates who have elected you and of the whole school, promise to undertake the responsibility of leading the school as wisely as you know how, in work and in play, through victory or defeat, whether popular or unpopular, so that this Academy shall be the home of honorable things?', This year the student body has been particularly fortunate in its choice of monitors, for no better leaders could have been picked. Through the fine organization, excellent membership, whole-hearted co-operation, and splendid work of the board, the year of '31 and '32 has been successful in its every phase-scholastically, socially, and athletically. .Ll 35' I952 The sayings that a chain is only as strong as its weakest link and that a team is only as strong as -Q its substitutes are well known. So with schools the saying holds that a school is only as good as its student body. What finer student body could there be than this year's . . . one in i which each member strives to Achieve the Honorable. O 36 .. 4.

Sergeant at Arms I Til S l X years ago, when Walt Beth, ,lere Jenks and Ed. Brewer first climbed the Providence Street hill, the nucleus of the class of 1932 made their first appearance on t.he hilltop. Since that time, aided by new additions to the ranks, they have blazed a path of glory through four school years. The Class of '32 is typified by its tremendous activity and interest in school affairs. During the last four years the members have held important posts on all athletic teams, the honor roll, school publications, debating teams, and Academy Players. But it was not until the Junior year that they became a tremendously important factor in the school life. ln the spring term of ,3l Mr. Taylor was unanimously elected class advisorg he has more than fulfilled the trust placed in him. Not one of those graduates who attended the Junior Banquet will ever forget that memorable occasion where we made plans and set goals for the ensuing year. Last fall eighty-five seniors started their final year in prep-school. Soon the monitors of the class were elected, and later the class officers. Then followed an epoch-making school year. The Senior Promenade was an unprecedented success, one that will be very dimcult to surpass for many years. Then the dedication of the Lewis J. Warner Memorial came in our year of ascendency. The Senior Banquet followed in the late part of May. On ,lune 13 we will have reached the cul- mination of our secondary school career when the Commencment Exercises will be held. To those of 1933 we can say, A fine example has been set for you. Follow it on your journey to 'Achieve the Honorable' and you will bring glory and honor to your school. .11 l -I 39 M - Ig 40 -' U'U'u- Q I952 , B SAM UEL LAU RICNCE ACII Larry Ash llarvarml 3580 WvASllINGTON A LOVER of music and fine litera- ture is 6'Slarry, whose stentorian voice and prehistoric singing marked him as a native of Cincinnatiis wide open spaces.

TIIE year book is a storehouse of memories. Its pages become yellowed and torn. Its pictures, in time, seem a relic of long years ago, but it always holds an interest for the old boy. Between its covers is written an account of the happiest years of a man's life, and in its story, memories of old friends are brought back. True friends never grow tiresome, and good times, like old pewter, mellow with age. Probably the first Worcester Academy year book, giving an account of all four classes, was the Codex, the 1900 edition. It certainly must have created a stir when it came out! This was a year when the Academy Weekly, the Hobo Club and the Annual Senior Sleighride were the high points of interest. The picture of the Codex staff, seated on chairs covered with animal skins, the Beau Brummels of the school with their necks encased in high, stiff collars and their hair parted in the middle, and the Hower bedecked title pages all are tremen- dously interesting. We are deeply indebted to Mr. Charles H. White, the class advisor, and Mr. John Daniels, the editor-in-chief, for starting what has now become one of the school prides. From 1900 until 1922 there remain no copies of a year book, but in 1922 under the advisorship of Mr. Fred D. Aldrich the Meltillg Pot appeared. Marked improvement had been made since the days of the Codex, and the Meltilzg Pot was a very finished piece of work. Then, perhaps, because of the recent addition of the new gymnasium, it was the monogram of each page. The Melting Pot was much like the recent year books except for the fact that it was less voluminous. A few years later the Melting Pot became the Towers and, since then, the year books have retained much the same features. Thirty years have produced a fine group of year books. We present to you the 1932 Towers. We have tried to live up to the high standard of previ- ous years and hope that the trust has been kept. 147 'U s- CU C CQ 0rn1a,' Mvlg The C L3 f- I rm 5 fi 5 z E G-4 f I C I' 11 L5 Z P - - u- cd f Bl Z Ld 'n I Ld Q L 4: if u :Q Virlzlle mu: FHLUERUA, MUGRATH, CRANE, NATIUN, TORRANCE, L1clrrExs1'ElN Front row: MR.

FARNUM History of the Vigornia THE Vigornia has made much progress in the past year under the efficient and competent supervision of its editor, Daniel W. Abercrombie, III, with Mr. Farnum, its faculty advisor, working with a capable group represent- ing the three upper classes. New ideas gained at the New York convention of the Columbia Scholastic Press Association, attended by the editor and advisor, have been carried out in headline schedules, a clearer type and a double column editorial page set-up. Special feature articles by prominent alumni, college heads, and Academy faculty were obtained. This year the Vigornia gained a third place in the C. S. P. A. contest as compared with its fourth of last year. Fifty-six boys, a quarter of the school, have, at various times throughout the year, worked on this publication. All gained experience in writing, in getting advertisements, and in having varied responsibilities which will stand in good stead in college and business work. 149 150 f?f?'f f 'w M qff 'E7' 11111 NK M fx M g ,, I4 ' ' ff WS W KW y -Q YT Wmyxkif ,MXX KX - 'ax X b ..

Faculty Advisor AS IN previous years, members Hlld officers of the W. A. C. A. were the first to make the new boys welcome to W. A. at the opening of the year. A committee consisting of H. Johnson, Torrance, Brewer, Rocheford, John Thomas, Thompson, Reynolds, McDonald, Preston, and Westcott took them to their rooms and distributed W. A. C. A. blotters. On the subsequent Saturday evening Mr. Noyes and the committee were hosts at the annual reception held in the Megaron. Here new students were introduced to the faculty and to the old fellows. A student leader in each of the extra-curricular and sport activities was called upon to give a brief account of his organization's prospects for the year. At one of the first meetings, Johnson, Westcott, and McDonald spoke on some of their impressions of the 1931 Blairstown Conference, summing up a few of the important addresses and outlining the daily program. Mr. Noyes and thirteen fellows made up the Worcester delegation to that affair. A new plan of holding the meetings proved very successful. Every other Wednesday evening an outside speaker or member of the faculty addressed the gathering. On other occasions speeches and debates were offered by Inembers of the Forum. Open discussions were held after all talks. The W. A. C. A. collected this year a large supply of Old clothing for unfortunate miners in Kentucky, and sent a sum of money to aid a student working his way through Hampton Institute. They also sponsored the annual red book. In February tlIe cabinet and Mr. Noyes attended the conference of New England Schools, held this year at Yale. The cabinet gave an interesting report of this session before the entire school. The Christian Association seems to have attained its purpose completely: to equip the student in solving the many problems which inevitably confront him throughout the year. 15?--I The Boys' Club Mn.

NORMAN PHILLIPE LETARTE . CHARLES L. STEVENS . . . Faculty Advisor President V ice-president Secretary Treasurer Head .flfonitor TIIE Worcester Academy Boys' Club originated in the fall of 1926, when Lewis J. Warner, at the suggestion of Mr. Charles L. Stevens, made arrangements for the school to purchase some second-hand motion picture machinery. Mr. Warner, however, generously gave the machines and enough money for redecorating the hall in the basement of Walker Hall. Lewis initiated the idea of having each boy in school buy a chair, thereby becoming a charter member of the Boys' Club of which Lew was the first president. The names are now on a plate in the Boys, Club room in the Warner Memorial Building. Each year every W. A. student automatically becomes a member of the Club by paying ten cents for each program pre- sented. In March, 1927, Mr. Warner came to Worcester for the dedication of the theatre at which a world premiere was held. He promised then that as soon as talking picture apparatus was found suitable for small auditoriums, he would see that Worcester Academy was so equipped. In the absence of his father in Europe, Lewis himself furnished films for the school. Thus the Academy became the first school in the world to have talking pictures. Every year a world premiere has been shown, except in 1931 when the program took the form of a memorial service to Lewis. Mr. Stevens has been faithfully and effectively carrying out Lewis's idea by procuring pictures both for entertainment and educational value. The Boys' Club Cabinet often helps in selecting the pictures shown each week. An additional duty of theirs, begun in 1930, is the giving of charms to the athletic teams. The Club must be commended for its diligent work in fostering entertainment and good will, and it is sincerely hoped that future members will carry on in tl1e same spirit with which Lewis Warner organized the Boys' Club. 155 J .iii . ,XJ f I fl ,.,1 s i I x Y' if V 'N Q' xdxk if 5 X3 XF in 's I J f 5 l952 M 'E M LES , L D U Q- ACTIVITIES Li.

Treasurer FOUR years ago Mr. Wade called the Hrst meeting to order and limited the membership of the organization to fourteen boys. Now the Forum is so strong in the school that thirty-two members were admitted and membership to it was coveted by many more. Next year rigid membership rules will be enforced and only eighteen Seniors and seven Juniors will be admitted. The Forum has a triple purpose: to develop excellence in public speaking, to develop excellence in parliamentary procedure, and to develop school leaders. To achieve these purposes part of each meeting is given over to parliamentary lawg the rest of the time is taken by the giving of prepared speeches and one grab box talk, which is extemporaneous. The fact that on the average each Forum member belongs to three other school organizations shows that the third purpose is achieved. The Forum has Inany projects. It sponsors the W. A. C. A. Debates and Thursday evening readings in the Megaron. This year it sponsored the Declamation Contest and gave a prize of live dollars to the winner. Members of this organization are more and more taking an active part in the leading of Friday Chapel, when the speeches are given by the Seniors and Juniors. It is the Forum members who participate in the annual Worcester-Williston Debate, which was this year changed into a symposium which created editorial comment in three papers. On May 6, the annual banquet was held at Brigham,s. The Blue Moon Serenaders played sweet music while the Forum members ate in luxury. After the repast, the Club adjourned to another room where the last meeting of the year was held. A varied program of speeches was given by guests and mem- bers. As a climax to the yearis work, Mr. Wade gave shingles to those who participated in the Worcester-Williston Symposium. Mr. Wade has served the Club well both as advisor and leader. We know the meetings will be as pleasurable and profitable in years to come as they have been this year because of his exceptional guidance. 159 . 5 L Qi' V5 - ei T 9 - 492 t i W -33353 ?.

ISU IHS year marked the inauguration of a new type of Woreester-Williston . llc-hate. The idea made the affair a symposium rather than a formal dehate. judges were abolished: hut at the end ofthe speeehes the audienee voted. not for one team or the other. hut for the side of the question whieh seemed right. This eliminated any tendeney of the dehaters to impress the judges: hut yet it provided kill inventive for good speaking. lIlHSllllll'll as the audienee would naturally he impressed hy the most ahly presented side. Briefs of the dehates were exchanged between the two sehools. The teams eonsisted of three men eaeh. The first two were eonstruetive speakers. presenting the arguments of their team. The third refilled the opposition. and summed up his own eontentions. The allirniative teain remained at home: whereas the negative journeyed to l'iilSllliillllJl0ll. At Woreester the debate was held in the Warner M emorial. The Worees- ter team. consisting ol' lloward johnson. George Norton. and Bernard Nlellonald. ahly upheld the aflirnlative of the statement The hes! way to prepare for peaee is to prepare for war. The audienee was in assent with them. At Williston the Woreester tealn was eoinposed of Ira Trivers. Edward Zraiek. and William ZPIIIHII. Again the well prepared and well delivered arguments ol' the W. A. dehaters prevailedg and the vote of the audienee favored the eontention of the negative. The new idea has proven sueh a sueeess that it will he adopted for future debates.

Advisor BEST club in school! -that's what Doc says. And why shouldn't it be with the inimitable Doc on the quarterdeck? The purpose of the club is to give the students of United States History and Ancient History an idea of the atmosphere which existed in the periods which are studied. All of the programs were given with this purpose in mind. Last Fall the Club made a pilgrimage to the Rufus Putnam House in Rutland. There it saw the simplicity in which one of the great generals of the Revolution lived. An afternoon was also spent by the Club at the Higgins' Here one of the best collections of armor in the country was seen. On the following Sunday Doc gave his lecture on Old Worcester which was illustrated with slides. At a later date Mr. Peckham, who traveled in Europe last summer, spoke on A Summer in Old Romef, Armory in Greendale. Music represents the spirit of an age. In realization of this fact, the Club sponsored several musical programs throughout the year. In recognition of the Washington Bicentennial, Doc,' spoke on Washington's Travels. This was followed a short time later by an elaborate program of Music in Wash- ington's Dayw which was produced through the aid of Mrs. Farnsworth. At a still later date the Worcester Philharmonic Orchestra played for the school in the gymnasium. On May 15 the school was glad to hear again the reper- toire of the Worcester high schools Little Symphony Orchestra. Un May 25 the History Club ended its season of' activity by invading Lexington and Concord. -rl ..I 163 , , A f 1f1f 'T'f'Y 'U. 5, - -v.., fX,m J K A , L . v - 4 If .ffiftq f ,. il k f',' el N lf- . fw Q ffm 11.5 u 5 8 in 4 A f -1' X' Qv iff' ' u x-. sfwg- Q yi SY U .

Librarian TIIE Science Club, organized to care for an increasing interest in the varied fields of Science, that classroom work does not satisfy, began to emerge from its chrysalis in 1931 under the eyes of Messrs. Small, Rader, and Dalrymple. Another principle of the organization was to present each year to the school and guests one speaker who is an authority in some scientific field. The first meeting was held on December 6 when Kaliski, Brown, and Bulkley gave talks on astronomy to a small gathering in Walker Hall. In January The origin of the earth was the topic discussed. Mr. Presson at a later meeting spoke on bacteria. During March a committee drew up a brief con- stitution, deciding that new members would be admitted on showing interest by making a speech on some scientific topic. Meetings were held Thursday evenings of each week, in the Legomathenian Room now jointly used with the Forum. Refreshments, kindly furnished by the wives of the faculty members, made the meetings much more pleasant. The club has sponsored the planting of a Siberian Elm in front of Davis llall, and the shrubbery at the entrance to Warner Hall. The new organiza- tion emerged full grown when on May 9 it presented in Warner Memorial Alfred O. Cross, Ph.D., of Bowdoin College who spoke on Birds of the Ca- nadian Labradorf, The guests were the student body, parents of Worcester boys, the Forbush Bird Club, the Bowdoin Alumni of Worcester, and the Worcester Natural History Society. 165 - 1. 1 Ui A l if Q9 xv 'JF ' ' fi 160 THE i932 3? iq 5?

The Fall Play IT IS certain tl1at the ghost of The Phantom Pilot, tl1e fall production of The Academy Players, will haunt the historic theater in Kingsley Hall for many years to come. A mystery play, to be a success, must be convincingly real to the audience, and no one may truthfully say that the unusual characters, the ghostly flight, and the eerie sound effects of The Phantom Pilot left the audience unmoved. Malcolm McAlpine, as Bimp, a typical English cabman, completely won the audience by his acting and his cockney accent. His sudden appearance as a detective brought the play to its climax. Mr. and Mrs. Morgan CCharles Nation and Curtis Torrenceb, two smooth swindlers, were villainous enough to satisfy the most exacting of the critics who were present. Oliver Flanders, playing the part of the Pig-Woman Qalthough actually one of the ring of coun- terfeitersj, was very dramatic and mysterious, especially in the scene in which the Phantom Pilot flew over the mansion. The roles of Madame Eva, a believer of spirits, and Professor Alexander, a suave magician, were well played by ,lohn Westcott and David Preston. Allen Philips was an ideal heroine, as Mazie Wendell Seabrook. ,loseph Guerin QMagnoliaj and Robert H. Eckhart fEpidemicQ will be long remembered for their interpretation of the colored servants. Arthur Kennedy excelled as the lunatic masquerading as an asylum guard. The part of Mr. Boggs, the lawyer, who dozed through the most terrifying scenes of the play, was masterfully acted by Francis Kenney. Every feature of the Fall Play approached perfection. The costuming, directed by Mr. Farnum, was flawless. Stage manager Foster, aided by his assistants, Robert Lape and Robert Barrington, performed their back-stage work smoothly. The electrical effects were well managed by Roscoe G. Bicknell, I r. Mr. Whalen played appropriate music during the intermissions. Daniel W. Abercrombie, 3rd, and his corps of ushers all did their part to make The Pahtom Pilot a success. Mr. Smith, as director of The Academy Players, worked constantly to maintain in The Phantom Pilot the high standards of excellence which he established with his very first production last yearg and he most certainly lived up to all expectations. 169 I70 Utfs- J I93z 4 Q ' Winter Plays ON MARCH 19 the Academy Players, again directed by Laurence J. Smith, gave as their winter presentation a series of three one-act plays. The first was a tragedy, A Message from Khufu,', by H. Stuart Cottman and Le Vergne Shaw. A party of explorers led hy Professor Hardin CWilliam ReedD discover and open the tomb of the ancient Pharaoh Khufu. A jewel taken from the dead man's hand causes the death of all but one of the party. Reed was vividly supported by Gordon Rogers, Ralph Livingston, and Arthur Kennedy, all of whom held the suspense of the audience. This production was entered in an amateur contest in which Kennedy won second prize for individ- ual acting against a brilliant field of amateur actors. The second play was The Mouse, a comedy by Louise Van Voorhis Armstrong. This story is of a bold pirate Cplayed by Charles Ferraroj who fears only two things-mice and women. The scene is in a deserted castle on the coast of England. Arnold Colgrove and Franklin Costello played a young and an old pirate respectively. Joseph Guerin played a petty thief, and Tom Torrance the part of the girl who steals the pirate's gold and escapes on the thief's horse. The third play of the evening was The Little Father of the Wilderness by Austin Strong and Lloyd Osbourne. This play takes place at the court of Louis the fifteenth. Malcolm McAlpine did an exceptionally fine piece of work as the Little Father, ably assisted by a cast which included Chester Foster as Frere Gregoire, David Preston as Captain Chevillon, and Allen Phillips as Mlle. llenriette. Charles Gore played Frontenac very well, a11d Julian Trivers was a model court dandy. The story is of a backwoods priest who is summoned to the king's court to settle a royal bet. Later, however, he is made an arch- bishop because of his noble work among the Canadian Indians. Mr. Hanford A. Farnum and Roscoe G. Bicknell deserve great credit for the costumes and scenery. The work of the executive staff was flawless. To Mr. Smith and the players we must give unlimited praise for their masterfully portrayed and interestingly contrasted productions. In recognition of his splendid work, McAlpine was elected president of the Academy Players. 171 5 A Y v. 3 x .. 1 0 s I Ni. fs 5 '5 'lf J -5 Q ,1 I 3 3 ,N s bl 9 x l952 'ii , K hfwj1fE E - ,RX W 'ig N X - wkwjwf ,, il Glee Club The 9' ki Y E at Q ,- -I Lil E- -L ,W Q L E K I -r CD 'L fr I v u: r E4 - :E v 'C Lf - I Lil if : lil E B'- E 4: if : VC I LII E-1 'n A rv hh il E C E 'L 5 f 1.

During the year the club, though limited in number and without the incentive of the New York trip, accomplished more than has been done for many years. Concerts at two churches in the city, at various school affairs, at the Y. M. C. A., and the second annual concert with the Williston Glee Club constituted the year s program. The Glee Club also had the privilege of singing at the dedication of the Lewis J. Warner Memorial. Since the necessity of preparing for the New York Concert was removed, the Club had the opportunity to learn and sing almost twice as many songs this year as had been done before. The program of Christmas hymns, ancient and modern, proved successful wherever it was given. The quartet, composed of Moore, Barney, Flanders, and Stiles, sang numbers at several concerts, and will do so at the Dexter Prize Speaking Program. Prescott Robinson's loss to the Club at mid-years was severely felt. Both as president of the Club and as leading bass, Robbie was invaluable. The Worcester-Williston Concert was even more successful than last year's. Ou Friday evening, April 23, the Williston Club came to Worcesterg and on the following day our Club journeyed to Easthampton. A dance given after each concert for the members of the clubs and their guests was a popular innovation. These concerts have been such successes in the last two years that it is the wish of both organizations that they may be firmly established in the programs of the years to come. Singing at the graduation exercises will complete a very successful year of the present Club. 175 .f-ffm U Cfwrjj U-U TT LJ ififgfff, ' f F 6 A 5 1: r ,X Wh ,+V-4? y ' 9 Lf I 9 if 7 1 fp 'G 'QQ 'Try 7 --vw W 'ww Y f NE 7'-L xl -X 3 M' 'F5 ,ENE 2 .4 ' 1 LA I 4' E- I -L E-' I N :zz C I 7 554 LF VE 5.1. .Im Q In QE Wg E- PQ i - 1 J ul E 1 4 A - 4 --'J 1A 176 THE l93.a Orchestra DURING the past year the Blue Moon Serenaders have played for six tea dances given in the Megaron and Gymnasium, at the term dinners, and at several class and club banquets.

A novelty was afforded by the orchestra when it played at the Washington Program on January 31.

Jezukawicz THE 1931 Worcester Academy football team under the stalwart leadership of its captain, Norman Letarte, achieved a record of five victories, one defeat, and one tie, and made a strong bid for the mythical New England Preparatory School Championship. There were many vacancies left in the lineup by graduation, and Coach 'fHad', Presson sent many new faces out on the gridiron in the first game. Only Ca tain Letarte, Love, Kishon, Ladroga, J anien, Pauk, and Goodman remained, from last year,s varsity squad. The 1930 Gray squad contributed F rigard., Kaliski, Soulliere, Sharkey, and Brewer to the varsity team. The first game with St. Anselms roved to be a hard one for the untried squad and it was not until the fourth, period that F rigard romped over the line for the lone score of the day and an Academy victory 6 to 0. The team functioned well considering it was its first game of the season. Dean, always a hard fighting team, presented a strong defense and a see- saw battle ended in a 6 to 6 tie. Cushing was W. A.'s next opponent, and the light Ashburnham eleven proved no match for the Red and Black, who scored a 31 to 0 victory. A wet field hampered the speed of both teams. Harvard Freshman with three former Academy players in their lineup were the next invaders on Gaskill Field. The teams battled evenly for the greater part of the game, each threatening to score. The second period found Ritchie interceptin a Freshman pass and scoring a moment later. Frigard kicked the point ager touchdown. This proved to be the only score of the contest.

A pass, Frigard to Ladroga, accounted for Worcester's 7 to 0 margin of victory. Holy Cross freshmen this year achieved their first victory in twenty-six years over an Academy eleven. The purple with a 12 to 6 win was the only team to mar the Red and Black 1931 record. Pauk accounted for the W. A. touchdown when he intercepted a pass and raced eighty yards through a broken field. The Academy closed its season at Keene, N. H. with a 34 to 0 victory over the Keene Normal eleven. The Keene line proved to be too weak for the hard running W. A. backs. Practically every member of the varsity saw service in some part of the contest. Coach Presson and his staff are to be congratulated upon molding together this fine football machine out of new material, and Captain Norm Letarte is to be praised as its fighting leader. Each and every man on the squad had a large share in the team's success. SUMMARY October 3 W. A. 6 St. Anselms 0 October 10 W. A. 6 Dean 6 October 17 W. A. 313 Cushing 0 October 24 W.

Couch WILLIAM P. REED ........ Captain 'PHE work of the Gray's, or Worcester Academy Junior Varsity, and Coach Lawrence F. Whalen should be highly commended, for besides turning in a very successful season, they gave invaluable aid in enabling the varsity to make a strong bid for the New England Preparatory School Championship. Each Week the Gray's changed their plays to those of the varsities opponents and worked in unison to produce a powerful Academy array. The Gray's suffered a defeat at the hands of Pomfret Academy in the opener, 19-7, but they came back to whip Worcester North High the following Saturday, 27-0. The next week the Junior Varsity defeated the W. P. 1. seconds, 32-0. In the final game of the year the Worcester Trade School nosed out the Academy, 7-0. The members of the Gray's were Capt. Bill Reed, Allen Chase, Horace Houghton, William Titley, Charles Doonan, August Bounakas, Robert Ayers, Howard Richardson, Gordon Winlocke, Dunbar Sherman, Gordon Rogers, John Erskine, Gordon Harrington, and David Becker. 1 1 1 1 185 I 80 Soccer Varsity SHARPE, THOMPSON GORFINKLE, K.

Captain FREDERICK II. THoMPsoN . Manager MR. JOHN MASON ........ Coach IN VIEW of tl1e fact that only one letter-man, Captain Nunez, the star goalie, was on hand, Coach Mason did a really creditable job of molding a soccer team. Handicapped at the outset of the season by a squad of W inexperienced players and by ineligibilities, he whipped into shape a fine 44' aggregation. After a practice game with Commerce High School, the team met a stronger Dean eleven and was smothered by a 9-1 score. A week later the Red and Black made an unsuccessful invasion of Tabor Academy, being defeated by their hosts, 4-2. The next game, at Exeter, found a vastly im roved Worcester team, whose smooth passing overcame the Exonian defense by a 3-1 margin. b Captain Nunez and Larry Dow, aided by splendid teamwork, were instru- mental in avenging our defeat of the preceding year. 'T ' The following contest was against Andover. Worcester was forced to bow, 3-1, to the splendid playing of the heavier Blue and White foe. The Harvard ,35 team, which subsequently overwhelmed its own varsity, was too powerful for our booters. The result was a lop-sided score of 5-1. Freed from ineligibilities, the hilltoppers won a 5-3 victory over the Springfield Frosh. Dow was outstanding, scoring three goals. The last scheduled game was with our traditional rival and gave them a -- hard-earned victory. Williston played a fast game and was slightly too power- 1 ful for our eleven. LINE UP g.

Coach FOLLOWING last yearis National Championship team, this season was not as successful from the standpoint of victories. Only four lettermen returned from last year. With new material Had,' Presson made a fair showing. In the first meet, with Gardner High, Basil Francis, the individual star of the season, set a new school record in the 100-yard breaststroke. W. P. I. freshmen, and Springfield Frosh, also defeated the Academy in their next two contests. January 30, Basil Francis won the senior N. E. A. A. U. 220-yard breaststroke at the Worcester Boys' Club. The first victory of the season came when the natators defeated Dean Academy, 39-23, the outcome of the meet hinging on the relay. Traveling to New Haven, the team was swamped by Yale Freshmen, 48-18. On the following Tuesday they journeyed to Brown only to he turned back, 47-15. by the F rosh. Francis again set a pool record, and Lee and Hedquist, both W. A. ,31 starred for Brown. Harvard Freshmen emerged victorious in their first pool encounter with the Academy since the World War. On March 1, Francis won the Junior National A. A. U. 220-yard hreaststroke championship at New Haven. His time was 2 minutes 523 seconds. The next week the natators invaded New Hampshire for the annual meet with Exeter, to be defeated, 44-18. On March 5, Andover eked out a 34-28 victory in the Academy pool. Francis set a new school record of 9.5 seconds in this meet. The last contest of the season was a thriller.', The W. A. team was leading at the relay only to lose this event and the meet, 33-29. A week later, the Academy won the Brown Interscholastics for the third consecutive year, gaining permanent possession of a handsome bronze cup. THE SCHEDULE January 16 W.

Worcester won two pre-season games with the New England School of Accounting and Becker College. Wentworth Institute next bowed to the Academy hoopsters. Then a powerful Yale Frosh quintet broke this string of victories. During the season Worcester Academy defeated Huntington, Andover, Assumption College, Harvard, '35, M. 1. T., '35, and Williston, playing a fine brand of basketball. Springfield, '35, Exeter, Dean, Cushing, and St. Anselm's won by only small margins. Laurence McGovern, stellar center, was high scorer of the season with 137 points. Paul Love and Tauno Frigard, speedy forwards, scored 96 and 90 respectively, Captain Goodman chalked up 57 from his guard position. Paul Lefebvre also did well in checking the offensive of opposing teams. Ladroga, Ritchie, Doonan, Nation, and Rogers all contributed to the success of the team. SUM MARY December 9 W. A 54 N. E.

Coach TO LOOK back upon a season which doesnit boast a single victory and call it successful is rather difficult to say, but such is the case of our 1932 hockey season. Handicapped by the lack of veteran material and confronted by one of the hardest schedules in recent years, our hockey aspirants were forced to limit their training to running on the board track because of the inclement weather. However, they were faithful at their training and dis- played a high brand of sportsmanship and an excellent fighting spirit which marked their steady progress throughout the season under the careful eye of Coach Larry Whalen. The quality of work accomplished eclipsed that of past seasons and from this point of view, the season was an overwhelming success. Pitted against our ancient rival, Exeter, without a single practice session, proved too great a handicap to hurdle and we could not cope with the superior attack of the Exonian outfit. The following week we were forced to yield to our traditional rival, Williston, in a fast and hard-fought battle at the Sprin - field Arena. For the third time our team was forced to face formidabie opposition without practice and lost to the powerful Harvard Seconds in the Boston Garden. Taking advantage of a short cold spell, our puck-chasers played four games in as many days. After losing out to the Holy Cross varsity, our boys played inspired hockey against the Holy Cross Freshmen only to lose a heart- breaker after three torrid overtime periods. Lester Barrett, outstanding for W. A., caged three goals. We renewed our athletic relations with St. Mark's Academy the following day but lost another thriller 3 to 0. Our forward wall shelled the Blue and White net with a barrage of shots but the remarkable saves of their goalie prevented us from scoring. The season was brought to a close with a slam-bang overtime against Brown Freshmen which we lost 5 to 4. Les Barrett, Norm Letarte, and Cedric ,Ianien accounted for the Worcester goals.

Spring Manager MR. GEORGE W. JONES .... . . Coach THE WINTER SEASON LED by Tony Kishon, National Interscholastic Champion in both the discus and hammer events, the W. A. track team enjoyed one of its most spectacular indoor seasons in recent years. McNeill, running the dash, three hundred, and lead-off man on the win- ning relay team in the B. A. A. S., was high scorer of the season, scoring twenty-seven points. Kishon was a close second with twenty-three and One- third points. At Exeter, Anton shattered our school record in the shot-put with a heave of fifty-three feet. Another record breaker, undefeated through- out the season, was Buck Core, our thousand-yard flash. Griffith in the dashes, Choquette and Moore in the six hundred and relay, Denning in the thousand and relay, and Costello in the high-jump were all stellar performers. Other point winners were McDonald, Loring, Brown and McKenna. The Red and Black team began their successful season by tying Hunting- ton 16-16 for first honors in the B. A. A. meet. In the next meet, we bowed to Huntington, 40e27. Then, avenging the defeats of the past few years, we defeated Exeter, 38-30. The climax of this brilliant record was a well-earned victory over the Brown Frosh 36M-26M. THE SPRING SEASON COACH NJICGERB JONES welcomed a very promising array of sprinters, hurdlers, distance men, and weight throwers this spring. Many of those who performed so well in the successful winter season joined forces with the team again, along with several promising newcomers. The dashes were taken care of by McNeill, Griffiths, McDonald, Loring, and Muncy. The hurdles were strong with Phaneuf, veteran from last year, in the best of form. Captain Kishon continued his unblemished career as the greatest weight .1 W- man to have ever led a prep-school team. Gore, undefeated during the winter, Ll again starred in the half-mile run, while Denning, Choquette and Moore participated in the quarter. SCHEDULE I May 6 W. A. 80 Brown Frosh 40 May 14- W. A.

Others who saw active service were Soulliere, Veino, Houghton, Fay, Rogers, Scharshmidt, and Seaver.

IGQINZERS I 'Y' Q Q Club Football FORTY-TIIREE candidates reported for practice last fall to Mr. Bockoven, who organized a league of three teams and refereed all the games. Great enthusiasm was aroused by the stirring co11tests, and the keenest interest was shown throughout the season. The Red team was coached by Mr. Raderz, the Blues were instructed by Bernie McDonald, and the Green eleven, which won the championship, was under the tutelage of Charlie,, N ation. The Greens, piloted by Shorty Ferraro, the outstanding ball-carrier in the league, and ably assisted in the backfield by Edmands, Fay, and Collin, clearly showed themselves to be the best team by going through the entire season without a defeat or a tie to mar their brilliant record. The Blue aggregation, with Joe,, J ohnson's line plunges, supplied the strongest opposition to the Greens' climb to the top of the league. The Reds proved to be a fighting eleven, but were hit hard by injuries. Cowboy Winslow and Gavitt made most of the gains for that team. The lineups: THE GREENS THE BLUES THE REDS Position q.b. C.

Club Baseball INSTEAD of the regulation baseball, playground baseball was played by the Red and Blue Club teams this year because of lack of a suitable playing field. Interest, however, was not lacking in this sport. Three days a week the two club teams would meet on the campus under Had', Presson, and go through a vigorous exercise in their very interesting games. The Reds usually won. Those who saw active service were Sawyer, Kerr, Gavitt, Jeppson, Foster, and Livingston. Club Tennis TIIE large number of fast playing non-varsity netmen created a lively circle in club tennis. The Greens, last year's champs, were reversed in per- centage while the Blues climbed to the top. Ach led the leaders, Guerin the Blacks, Chandler the Reds, and Flanders the Greens. Those who played regularly were Barney, Stark, Thomas, Foley, Black, and R. Phillips. 211 2 FEATURE!

JOEL BULKLEY WILLIAM REED rf.-XUNO FRIGARD JOHN THOMAS WORCESTER celebrated its annual Senior Prom in gala fashion on Febru- ary 20 in the gymnasium and danced until twelve o'clock to the syncopa- tion of Bert Lowe and his Ritz-Carlton Orchestra. As the guests drove llp to the gymnasium, their attention was immediately attracted by a lighted sign reading 1932.,' Upon entering the gym all were astounded by the transformation that had taken place. The ushers escorted the guests to a canopied shelter where they were presented to the Patronesses, Mrs. Holmes, Mrs. Morgan, Mrs. Bullock, and Mrs. Church. The cerulean canopy above, the blue and gold draperies, the class numerals, and the S. S. Wforcesterf' from whose deck the orchestra played-all helped to give the appearance of a seaside dance pavillion. The soft lights and sweet music gave the event a Utopian atmosphere. As the dance progressed., the desire for refreshments forced the dancers to adjourn to the balcony of the pool for ice cream and cake. The balcony was hung with blue and gold lights while the pool itself was bordered with palms. The babbling of the fountain in the middle of the pool completed the pleasant atmosphere. The evening frolic was prefaced by a swimming meet in the afternoon and a tea dance in the Megaron, which was given and arranged for by Mrs. Holmes. The Seniors are indebted to the Junior Ushers, who helped greatly in the decorating and who handled so well tlIe problem of ushering, for their assistance in making the Prom a success. The ushers were: James Veino, head usher, Marshall Crisman, William Engler, Jr., Chapin Fay, Charles Gore, Reginald Howlett, Richard Moeller, Kenneth Sharpe, Burton Stark, and William Titley. The Prom Committee and Mr. Taylor deserve much credit for their choice of the orchestra, for the beautiful decorations and the smooth running of the event, and also for their choice of durable programmes which were suitable to keep as soI1veIIirs. The graduating Seniors will long remember that wonderful occasion, Our Senior Prom. il ...I 215 ' ' k - Q. x xx -7 x . 1 ' 1 - ' K ' 3 g 2- E xl I Xxx Q , 'fi n v K ,Fx ,- -,.. ... ........ , 1 H D Q 1 ' 2123 L55 'J 4 4 V 1 L m 'Rs V' 1 'I'Iu- Prom f:0llllllilll'1' lfurlf nur:lHl IAkI.l'2X . xlilllllli l l'lllIl nur: .loin 'I'lum xx Hlclfllv.

At the beginning of the year there were few who rode regularly, but with the coming of spring the members increased to about twenty. Some of the boys had ridden little, but before the year was over they were becoming quite proficient in the sport. This club was organized primarily to allow those boys who enjoyed riding the privilege of doing so. However, that was not the only reason. Under the able tutelage of Mr. Rader and Tom Dreyer the boys were taught the essentials of real horsemanship. Many afternoons were spent in ac- quainting the boys in handling their horses. The boys on these school days resembled a cavalry troop more than boys out for a pleasure ride. All kinds of tactics were usedg and, though these school days were rather tiresome, every boy will admit that they were very helpful. As time went on those boys who became more skilled riders were allowed to jump. Mr. Dreyer was never too busy to help a boy who was learning. Before the year was over nearly every boy had learned, and all agreed that it was a thrilling sport. Mr. Rader set four things before the Riding Club this year which he hoped it would accomplish: to give those wl1o enjoy riding the privilege of doing so, to teach them to become better riders, to teach each one to appreciate the sport, and to help make boys realize what a good companion a horse really can be. Through the untiring efforts of Mr. Rader those aims have been accomplished to a great extent. 219 l9a2 Senior Celebrities Most Popular-Preston, Bulkley, Letarte Done Most for W2 A.-Letarte, Zraick, Bulkley Most A t to Succeed-Bulkle , Zraick, McDonald Best Alliround Fellow-McAl,imine, Bulkley, Preston Best Athlete-Frigard, Goodman, Ladroga Handsomest-Phaneuf, W.

Banish fear, have faith in your future, choose the difficult rather than the easy road. May success and growth in power await your honest effort. May you bring honor to Worcester Academy.

The Personality Drug Store 56 Front Street Worcester, Mass The Stamp of Personality Psychologists endeavor to analyze the human mind into its component parts, to trace the development of character with particular reference to the effects of heredity and environment. There still remain, however, subtle and indefinable elements which make up the personality of a man, and identify him with the principles and practices for which he pre-eminently stands. Personality is the basis of sound business, and the first essentials are-honesty, conscientiousness, good faith. Personality in business constantly strives to attain the ideal of enduring service, to create lasting confidence and good-will. It leaves every transaction open until that purpose is fully accomplished. Personality is a constituent of every prescription dispensed by the Brewer organization, is wrapped in every package which leaves the Brewer Store. It is woven into each surgical appliance made by Brewer 81 Company, and in- sures the proper function of the elastic hose, the protec- tive brassiere, the abdominal belt, truss, or bandage, the orthopedic brace, the sanitary or athletic supporter. The Brewer organization includes members associated with it for more than a quarter of a century-men who are real apothecaries-to whom the ideal of service is sacred- in whom doctor and patient may safely place implicit faith and trust. ii, Kg? ti T V Brewer St Company, Inc. 56 Front Street , Worcester, Mass. , Wr l llT'1 The Personality Drug Store M A f1uluIl..llA I My QA I mlimll ,gt aassfrl J pf ' 2 .1 'il .dr 1 fl 5: I 5 .nl ,.,i'1 fii V.
