WHITNEY, '01 CLASS OF 1937 In Memoriam Those who love ami serve shall never die. DR. CLARENCE A. BARBOUR, President of Brown University, a distinguished leader of educational and religious thought, a valued Trustee of Worcester Academy from 1929 to 1937. Dr. Barbour was a profound student of life, a teacher of great power, an eloquent speaker, a minister to mankind, a man for whom it was natural to look unto the hills, yet one who could look straight ahead toward reality. He was a true friend Whose capacity for Service, devotion to truth, simplicity, and kindness marked him as a great servant of the Master whom he gladly served. Resolved, therefore, that there be recorded in the permanent records of Worcester Academy this expression of belief that in the passing of Dr. Barbour, Worcester Academy has lost a wise and devoted friend, our country one of its great Christian gentlemen. Fon THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES or WORCESTER ACADEMY Chapin Riley, Secretary May 14, 1937 Time declares their good and proves their immortality. MR. GEORGE WALKER, an honored graduate of the Class of 1887, a Trustee from 1915 to 1936, the inheritor of a name notable in the annals of Worcester Academy. Mr. Walker's interest in and affection for Worcester were deep, in his passing, we lose a sympathetic friend, a wise counselor, a loyal alumnus. Resolved, therefore, that there be recorded in the permanent records of Worcester Academy this expression of regard for the memory of a distinguished graduate, a loyal member of our school's governing board. FOR THE BOARD or TRUSTEES OF WORCESTER ACADEMY Chapin Riley, Secretary May 14, 1937 18 Fair Worcester AIR-FAIR HARVARD Fair Worcester enthroned on the hills in thy pride With the city domes gleaming below, A gem on the robe of a beautiful bride, Or a crown on a beautiful brow. Thy children return to thy favorite halls With more joy than the home-flying dove, Their hearts beat with gladness to answer thy calls, As they bring thee their tribute of love. Dear nurse of our childhood! dear friend of our youth! To our hearts what fond memories throng 5 From thy chalice we qualfed the rich draughts of thy truth, And our souls through thy strength were made strong. No landscape was ever so fair to be seen, No such sunsets crown day's busy hours, No friends like the friends of our boyhood have been And no mem'ries as happy as ours. O favored of Heaven, thy sons have engraved Their bright names on the wreaths of thy fame. To guard thee and guide thee, around thee has waved God's broad pillar of cloud and of flame. Still onward and upward pursue thy fair march, Like an army with banners unfurled, While God bends above thee His covenant arch And before thee lies waiting the world. -S. F.

Little did they realize that they were forming the nucleus of thc most outstanding class in many a year. These three, Handleman, Locke, and Rocheford, augmented by a dozen or so embryonic Hilltoppers remained intact through the trials and tribulations of their Sophomore year. The next fall, with the addition of thirty-six more enterprising students, a Junior class was formed which proved to be one of the most outstanding classes ever to be produced here on Union Hill. Mr. Earle W. Peckham, as their class adviser, definitely was the cause of this marvelous result, for without his clear thinking and intelligent leadership the class could not have accomplished what it did. Not only did this group manage, under the able chairmanship of Robert K. Louer, their customary Junior Prom on February 1, a truly memorable event, but also sponsored a Fall Dance as well as a popular Sports Dance, held April 25, which was well attended and enjoyed by all classes. Their banquet took place in the latter part of May, with a very interesting entertainment, including speeches by the Headmaster, Mr. Smith and others. But the class did not limit itself to social activities alone, for it was well represented by its members on all fields of athletic endeavor. This group returned in the fall of its Senior year to find its ranks enlarged to thc total of approximately one hundred and twenty-five members, composing the current class of 1937. They showed remarkable foresight in the selection of Mr. Peckham again as their class adviser and Honorary Faculty Member. Thus they entered the present year with high hopes of adding even greater laurels to their already numerous achievements. In a class meeting called early in the year, they re-elected Justin Haley as president. On March 13, the class held its Senior Promenade, a truly memorable event in its history, for not only did the committee, headed by C. Haefela and A. Curtis with Mr. Peckham as Adviser, outdo itself in the matter of decorating the interior of the gym and pool, but the music furnished by Frank Daley's band was the tops. Notably important was the athletic record for the past year. The football team, by winning every game with the exception of two ties, received thc figurative title of New England Prep School Champions. The track, baseball and basket- ball teams also enjoyed their best seasons in years. With the Class Banquet scheduled for June 3 and Commencement, June 14, we regret- fully leave Worcester Academy, the scene of pleasant acquaintances with both Faculty and Student Body. And so we enter into the realm of Worcester Academy Alumni, meaning that our preparatory school days are over. So with best wishes for a successful year to the Class of '38, and a desire that they carry on our illustrious record, we realize that our time has come to bid a fond farewell to Worcester Academy. 33 CLASS OF 1937 CHARLES ROGER ABBOTT Hog 60 WALNUT STREET, CLINTON, MASS.

Although Worcester played an offensive game throughout, both the scarcity of plays and the lack of the necessary punch to score brought about a scoreless tie. A week later, this team, now possessing a distinct fighting spirit that was to characterize its playing in later games, defeated an old rival, Cushing Academy. Captain Mahoney illus- trated the true mettle of this newly inspired team when, on the initial play of the game, he made the first touchdown of the season. The two other Worcester touchdowns were made by Walter Wishoski and Johnny Lendo. Cushing's tally in the last quarter made the final score 19-6. Although a great victory, the loss of Moose Hanlon's services for the remain- der of the season nearly neutralized this achievement. On October 17, the team travelled to Cambridge to encounter the Harvard Freshmen. Because of a leg injury, Bernie Hefner, a regular guard, was replaced by Syd Burrows, while Vic Schaefer aptly took over Syd's duties at center. A strangely-kicked ball by Lendo was caught over the goal-line by Tom Healy, W.A. 1936, for Harvard's touchdown. Eager to overcome that lead, the Hilltoppers fought gamely through mud and rain and finally Lempke lunged over for Worcester's touchdown. Both tries for the point-after in this game failed, thus making the score a tie, 6-6. The team, now fully unified, encountered the Yale Freshmen the following week. Fighting hard throughout the entire contest, Worcester found itself near the end of the game on the short side of a 13-12 score. With three minutes left to play, a spectacular pass from Mahoney to Wakeham placed the ball in scoring position. A line plunge carried the ball over and put the team ahead, 18-13. Worcester Academy, on October 31, entertained W.P.I. Seconds here at Gaskill Field. The home team ran up the score of 44-0 by means of long completed forwards, powerful line drives, and excellent blocking and broken field running. Beautifully executed passes gave Worcester a 19-0 victory over Dean Academy. Coady, Wakeham, and Mahoney figured predominently in this traditional struggle which was Hlled with hard knocks, bruises, and scratched limbs for the members of both teams. W.A. defeated Huntington Academy, 18-0, on November 14. Coady, playing his usual brilliant game, skillfully ran through Huntington's weak defense for two touchdowns, whereas Kelliher scored the third by falling on a kick blocked by Don DeLuca. Each member of the varsity squad deserves special commendation for the exceptional combination they produced, but, of course, even greater credit must be given to the talented direction of Had Presson, and to his assistants Mr. Bockoven, backfield coach, and Mr. Sargisson, line coach, the individuals who had most to do with the fine result. The season produced many fine teams but, unfortunately, all of the best teams did not meet. It has not been the policy of W.A. to claim championships, but the outstanding record of this year's team, undefeated and tied only twice, certainly places it among the best of New England Preparatory Schools. 71 CLASS OF 1937 Iirzrk row: S:u'gs-mit, Mr. W':1ti1-l'fim-ld, N.

Don Jackson, trotted onto Gaskill Field to encounter Monson Academy. Both teams, fighting doggedly, failed to score until the third period when the lone tally of the fray was made by the opponents. Their faults corrected by the apt Percy Waterfield, the team departed for Dudley to meet Nichols Junior College. A challenge game, this proved to be a fast-moving and closely- contested struggle which ended in a 1-1 tie. October 14 saw the Academy team playing Dean Academy on their home field. The teams seesawed back and forth until Jimmy Sanderson sneaked one by the goalie and the game was ours. George Marshall booted through another one to make it an air-tight victory. The team travelled to Andover on October 17 determined to do or die, but they didn't do-and, moreover, they didn't die. They fought bravely throughout the battle and played a game worthy of high praise. When the final whistle blew, the score was 0-0. Captain Jackson, playing his usual steady game, starred for Worcester. Brown was entertained at Gaskill on October 21. From the start, it was apparent that our team was victory-bound. Piling up a score of 4-1, they maintained this advantage throughout the game. Dick Locke, with one day of practice, ably filled Moore's shoes and became the star of the game, accounting for two of the four goals. October 31 rolled around and found us wishing our team the best of luck in their journey to Williston. Williston scored early in the game, having the advantage of the home field. In the third period, Kozlowski sent the ball through the goalie for Worcester's only score. Another tally byWilliston made the score 2-1. The Academy played host to Harvard Frosh on November 7. Harvard had the advan- tage at the outset, but the wearers of the Red and Black were not to be so easily beaten. Moving smoothly and proficiently, the Academy began to click. Each team made one goal. ' The final game of the season came on November 11 and we found Clark our opponents. The hardest fought game of the year, this proved to be very exciting. Playing equally well during the entire game, the teams found themselves scorelessly tied. Much of the creditable result of this year's soccer team can be attributed to the expert coaching of Percy Waterfield and Bill Shaw and to the splendid leadership of Don Jackson. Moreover, too much cannot be said for the spirit of the boys. They were trying all the time, playing clean but hard soccer, which was another factor in a successful season. 73 CLASS OF 1937 Front row: O'C7onnell, Boley, Magnuson, J. Mussman, A. Mussman, A. I.

Union Deknis Horton ' Mussman, J. Drayton Hurley O'Connell THE SEASON ST. PETERlS HIGH was the Gray's first opponent of the season. An intercepted pass and a long run subdued the Grays 12f0, although Dcknis, Ainslie, and Kozicky shone for the home team. The first of the two games played with Nichols Junior College was lost 6-0, but in the second encounter, the Grays returned the insult by winning 19-7. Forward passes caught by Connor and Jones, and a pass intercepted by Melanson accounted for the three touchdowns. On the coldest day of the fall season, the Grays lost 32-0 to Worcester Trade School. Co-captains Mussman, Heywood, Connor, and Underwood deserve recognition for their persistently enthusiastic ball playing, as do the rest of the team. The Grays, scrimmag- ing with the varsity, gave both teams considerable practice and also helped the coaches to find the weak spots in the varsityg a thing which had much to do with the latter's success.

The only veteran who returned was the high-scoring Vic Schaefer. Coach Bockoven was undaunted, however, and carefully watched the inter-club games hoping to find a few more stars in this blue atmosphere. That he was successful is evident by the following record of the season. Eager for victory the Red and Black quintet, led by Captain Vic Schaefer, trotted onto the floor and proceeded to defeat easily the New England School of Accounting. Victory was so sweet that they wanted more. They tasted it again when they played Lawrence. Three days later, our boys dropped a game to the Harvard Freshmen after a close battle. Huntington was unlucky enough to be our next opponent at which time Worcester made amends for this defeat. Andover and Wilbraham came along but proved to be the better teams. The Red and Black then played host to Brown and after vying evenly for the first three quarters finally broke away to chalk up another victory. Springfield Frosh, Dean, and Exeter were the next teams to oppose our lads, who, though they battled bravely, were unable to defeat these three fast ball clubs. Cushing was the next victim. Williston with a speedy brand of ball proved troublesome and was victorious in this game which closed the court season for another year. 77 CLASS OF 1937 Bark :ow Mr. Pri-sson, li. Wilson, R.

Dean Academy was the first opponent. Worcester won every event except the 100-yard free-style, making the final score 51-15. The medley team broke a school record. On January 27, Worcester beat W.P.I. Frosh in their own pool 37-29. Captain Radner took first place in the breaststroke whereas Wilhelmy easily won the 200-yard free-style. Due to a disqualification and a delayed start, the team did not place in the Harvard Interscholastics on January 30. Worcester lost to the Brown Freshmen, 37-29, on February 3. Even though there were four champion swimmers on Brown's squad, our mermen took first place in the 200-yard free-style relay and the 150-yard medley relay. To Springfield Frosh, Worcester lost 40-26. Captain Radner and the relay team won first places in their respective events. The 200-yard relay was the deciding race in the swimming meet with Huntington. Worcester finally beat their rival with the score 38-28. Upham and Wilhelmy took first places against Exeter, but the latter easily won 42-24 on February 20. In the return meet with W.P.I. Freshmen, February 24, Worcester won 52-14. Another school record was broken by Wilson, Radner, and Wilhelmy in the medley. Worces- ter placed fourth in the Brown Interscholastics February 27. Radner was second in the breaststroke, Wilhelmy was fourth in the 200-yard free-style, the medley team was first in its event, and the relay team was third. On March 13, Brookline was beaten 39-27, thus climaxing a very successful season. 79 CLASS OF 1937 lfaclr lr'ou': Mr. llnrvvy Szwgisson, Wishoski, Kicrnzmn, W2llii'll2LITl, f12ll'IYl0ll I ron,L lfrmx' Wzxllzwv, Mnhunc-y, Denning, II11Ilfi'l', N:1lmir'lwc'k JMK IJENNING Cyl71lflII'II VYILLIAM C'AlcMr:N . .

Johnny Wallace won both the 300- and 600--yard races. In the Eastern Seaboard Relay Carnival held February 13, Worcester won the Prep School crown with the snappy combination of John Wallace, Paul Mahoney, Aaron Naboicheck, and John Denning in the medley. The following week Worcester lost to Northeastern Freshmen by the small margin of 37-31. Captain Denning broke a school record in the 1000-yard dash. Worcester's three high scorers, namely, Wallace, Hunter and Denning, collected 14 points in the New York A.A.U. Scholastic Track Meet, February 27. The National 440 was won by John Wallace. On March 3, the Worcester Trackmen buried Huntington 59-18 with three firsts for Hunter, two for Wallace, and one apiece for Captain Denning, Mahoney, and Naboicheck. Still eager for more honors, the outstanding team consisting of John Wallace, Paul Mahoney, Fred Wakeham, and Aaron Naboicheck traveled to Providence on March 7 and returned with the National Junior A.A. title in the 1000-meter relay. To climax an already spectacular season, the track team won the Prep School crown at the Bowdoin Interscholastics held March 20. Hunter was the highest individual scorer although Captain Denning, Wakeham, Alexander, Mahoney, and Naboicheck added considerably to produce the ultimate score. 81 CLASS OP 1937 Ifront row: Pit-cvwicz, MacGregor, F02Lfil0l', Ackvrman, Leif Back row: Mr. Avis, l'nion, Lzirson, Gugnv, Mr. Mille-r F ' IiENmc1oK FEATHER .....

However, with an abundance of new material, Coach Bockoven was able to produce an undefeated baseball team. The opening game of the season was played April 21 with Lawrence Academy. We emerged victorious from this fray by defeating our opponents 8+3. Three days later the team traveled to Cambridge to encounter the Harvard Frosh, and won 10-7l The game scheduled for April 28 with the Holy Cross Frosh was cancelled, due to inclement weather. The next contest on the list was played at Gaskill Field with W.A. playing host to the Brown Freshman contingent. After a close game we finally were able to pull away and win 6e5. On May 5 we defeated Wilbraham 643. The scheduled contest on Alumni Day, May 8, with Exeter, was cancelled. The following Wednesday we encountered Dean, and were victorious. The, score was 5-0. The game with Huntington on May 15 was postponed because of wet grounds. The date of publication of the Towers prevents further tabulations of the baseball season. 87 CLASS OF 1937 Firsl row: llllllllllllj llunter, Alexander, Denning, Mahoney, Wallace, Kiernun, O'Malley, Ross. ,lliflrlle l'Ull'.' llnyes, Seramfin, lflhheson, Sl1IIlIll0l'llll, lN'Ioore, Hurt, Totti, Duvzml.

William CLASS OF 1937 U8 Underwood as Laker, the anarchist, came off splendidly in his brief tragi-comic appearance. One of the most finished bits of acting was contributed by Gerard Besse as the reluctant royal bridegroom, Prince William. When it was announced just before the Christmas vacation that the dramatic society had chosen Shakespeare's tragedy of Macbeth for its winter play, there were many who were startled by what seemed the temerity of the organization. Mr. Smith made a new acting version of the drama, Robert Louer, Robert Trimble, and Richard Locke constructed an elfective unit setg Donald Smith exerted his executive ability as Business Manager, and the actors studied their roles with unusual care. The result was a veritable triumph for Eta Kappa Alpha-a triumph which began when the first lines were spoken in the town hall of Littleton, Mass., on Friday, March 19, and which ended only when the final bow had been taken in Warner Memorial on March 20. Writing for The Evening Gazette of March 22, George Foxhall, well-known dramatic critic, said in part: We feel that this opening of the treasure house of Shakespcarian litera- ture is an important thing. 'Macbeth' was an undertaking of great industry and praise- worthy skill, beautifully produced by Mr. Smith and well performed by the entire cast. William Underwood played Macbeth with a fine understanding of the character, fitful, superstitious, ambitious, weak, and violent. Robert O'Connor as Lady Macbeth held his audience all but breathless while he unfolded a revealing portrait of ambition, frustration, passion, and pathos. Gerard Besse played Macduff brilliantly, carrying his climaxes with a sweep that gave the thrill of power and personality. Another brilliant set-up of staging and of acting was in the scenes of three witches, which were played with ghoulish glee by Robert Louer, Robert Trimble, and Richard Locke. Leslie Moore also reviewed the production in The Telegram, mentioning especially David Murphy as the drunken porter-A a rare bit of low comedy -and Joseph Norton, who played Malcolm with proper clarity and straightforwardnessf' The entire cast, concludes Mr. Moore, was competent. Nancy Burncoat, feature writer of The Sunday Telegram, describing the performance more than a week after it had taken place, said, The tragic intensity of the march of doom across the stage as set by one William Shakespeare in majestic mould lingers after the evening is over. The members of Eta Kappa Alpha feel that their work in modern comedy and Eliza- bethan tragedy this year has been a creative undertaking of some artistic value. The old members recall the past with pleasure, and the younger group look forward to carrying the torch of dramatic art into new fields of enjoyment and endeavor. 99 CLASS OF 1937 l rnnt raw: Ilnlvy, Kahn, Salts-r, Ainsliv, Hzwfvlzx rk rmr: Gamglw, J.
