Athletic Representative PWIOVVI a puny body four years ago the 1933 Class of Worcester has swelled into an imposing majority of the school. ln the year '31-'32fthe junior yearfthey cattle to the fore and began to make preparations for the following year's activities. They ushered at the Senior Prom and at Commencement and in other ways assisted the boys who were then seniors. They unanimously elected Mr. Noyes class adviser and held the Junior Smoker under his guidance. During this year the class had eight letter men in football, eight in Gray football, six in soceer, five in swimming, three in basketball, five in hockey. ten in track, seven in baseball, and four in tennis. ln the fall of 1932 perhaps ninety seniors started to hew their way to the top- most position in Academy activities. Let it suflice to say that every athletic team, the publications, dramatics, debating, in fact every activity in school, gathered its nucleus from the Class of '33. Especially fine was the excellence in studies, for the ranking ten of the school always boasted at least eight members of the senior class, while the honor roll was filled with '33 names. The Prom was made a wonderful success by Nlr. Noyes and the committee, who worked not only untiringly, but with unusual wisdom and skill. Then the anniversary of the dedication of Warner Nlemorial took place. When the Senior Banquet and Commencement have slipped into the past,,33 will feel that their preparatory school life was just about all that it could be. 21
