WADE, TR. Business Manager KIMBALL R. WOODBURY Photography Editor F REWGRD A yearbook can never tell a complete story except by implication. It is the sincere hope of the editors of the Towers that somewhere, between the long rows of taces and lists of achievements, the reader may catch a gleam, not only of the events, but ot the spirit and mind of Worcester Academy as Time paused tor the instant known as 1940. It is with the purpose of symbolizing this spirit and mind of Worcester that the editors have chosen the school motto, Achieve the Honorable, as part of the theme for this book . . CONTEN S BOOK BCHDK BCHDK BCHDK BCHDK BOOK FACIJLTY SENICDBS CLZXSSES ATHLETICS ACTIVITIES ADVERTISEMENTS D DICA TID We of the Class of Nineteen-Forty gratefully dedicate this Towers to ROY CHESTER BARKER a man of untiring patience and helpful understanding, Whose unceasing efforts have made the su of this class possible CCGSS I HAROLD W. PRESSON September 5, 1895-March 31, 1939 Richter once said, Ot great deeds I make no account, but a great lite I reverence. He knew that great deeds are soon forgotten, but that the influence of a great life continues to grow stronger with the passing of time. . . . The lives of those ot us who knew Had Presson will always be richer and better as a result of his friendship.

In the first few years of the Club's existence, the mem- bers used to get together and sew, but at meetings today, they have guest speakers, a business meeting, and re- freshments. One of this year's most interesting meetings was held on March 225 it was a reunion of former members, and Mrs. Robert l. Delahanty was given a Davis Towers gavel for coming the long- est distance. Every year the members of the Thimble Club sponsor a foreign film in Warner Memorial, the proceeds of which are used for a two hundred and fifty dollar scholarship, given to a boy in school who is deemed worthy and deserving. This year's moving picture, The Life and Loves of Beethoven, proved to be one of the most successful in the club's history. HAEHIEVE THE HUNURABLEH 25 ,vw O I . ff ..

Spear The fifty-fourth Board of Monitors, whose membership of nine was com- pleted last November, sincerely under- took the carrying out of their oath. In the presence of my classmates who have elected me and of the whole school, I promise to undertake the responsibility of leading the school as wisely as I know how, in work and in play, through victory or defeat, whether popular or unpopular, so that the Academy shall be the home of honorable things. Worthy of the trust placed in them, the monitors fulfilled their obligations in a commendable manner. Although the monitors dealt efficiently with difficulties which arose among the students, their work did not stop here. Realizing the advantage for seniors in having a dormitory to house their guests during the Senior Prom week-end, the monitors were instrumental in obtaining this accommodation. Such additional functions as this illustrate the construc- tive addition which this year's board contributed to WA. Under the able leadership of Head- monitor MacDougall, the board was formed into a well-organized and ef- fective body. Their cooperation in- creased their effectiveness and made possible the fulfillment of their duty as an important cog in the school's machinery.

Historian Adviser CLASS UF NINETEEN FUHTY enior Class History Four years ago there came to Worces- ter Academy twenty-two boys who made up the largest freshman class in the history of the school. Proud of their large number, they have come through to the senior year with the overwhelm- ing total of one hundred and twenty-six students. From that original group of freshmen many senior class leaders have sprung, including, to mention only a few: two monitors, a senior class officer, the editor-in-chief, business manager, and photography editor of The Towers, the editor of The Vig- ornia, the day boy representative, and the captain of the golf team. As sophomores the Class of 1940 deserve a few words of praise. The first sophomore class in many years to organize as a unit, they elected Mr. Roy C. Barker as adviser, Dick Sargeant as president, and Bob Howard, Kim Woodbury, and Wally Anderson as the other officers. The highlight of the sophomore year was the first Freshman- Sophomore Dance in the school's his- tory, featuring Ccan you recall that by- gone era?J a dance known as The Big Apple. The sophomore year was closed with a grand picnic, with softball and hamburgers the order of the day. The class increased in numbers in its junior year, and through the unerring guidance of Mr. Barker the year was most successful. The lunior Prom was an outstanding event. The Megaron was crowded with gay couples dancing to the music of Bob Freeman and his orchestra. Briel, as chairman of this affair, deserves much credit for the unique winter sports decorations. The lunior Banquet, with its vivid mem- ories of President O'Malley's intro- ductions, excellent faculty speeches, Bill Ryan's cigar, and a Laurel and Hardy movie, will not soon be forgotten. In September of the present school year the class reached its peak, with O'Malley again president, and other officers Meyer, Kameese, Sheehan, Duffey, I. Ryan, and Howard. On March fourth the most memorable event of the year, the Senior Prom, took place. Mr. Barker, Chairman McClel- lan, the committee, and the junior ushers had organized one of the finest proms the school has ever had. All will remember the Queen of the Prom, Miss Munsey, and the smooth music of Tommy Reynolds and his band. Many too will remember bad driving condi- tion as a fortunate excuse for late returning from the dance. The Class of '40 has been outstanding both in scholastic and in extra-curricu- lar activities, being well represented on the honor roll, on school publications, and in the dramatic and debating societies. In athletics too the seniors were successful-with perhaps a special bow to the Ryans, Wilson, Feldman, and Crane, the vital cogs in an undefeated swimming season. Special praise also goes to Coach Sargisson's senior relay team. Captain Sheehan, Sharpe, O'Malley, and Bianchi made an en- viable record in all the meets they entered. With the class banquet scheduled for lune 8 and Commencement on June 10, we regretfully prepare to leave Worces- ter Academy, the home of fast friendships made among both students and faculty. As we join the ranks of Worcester Acad- emy Alumni, we shall cherish fond mem- ories of the days when we were students on the hilltop. With all best wishes to the Class of 1941 for a successful senior year, we take our leave-regretful in parting, proud of our record.

Make us in every conflict The champions of right, And in the hour of darkness Protect us by Thy might.

Murphy One of the highlights of senior year is the annual spring election of Worcester Academy boys to Cum Laude. This society was originally founded by Dr. Abram W. Harris in 1906 at the Tome School, Port Deposit, Maryland, and was started at W.A. in 1912. Cum Laude, originally called Alpha Delta Tau Fraternity, is much the same as the Phi Beta Kappa of colleges. This secondary school scholastic society has 1 A CLASS UF NINETEEN FURTY gained much prestige since its inaugura- tion, and it is now practically the only recognized secondary school scholastic fraternity.

Assistant Coach Coach Bockoven was faced this year with the unpromising task of moulding together a football team which had only one letterman returning from last year's strong aggregation. Despite this handi- cap the Academy opened its season on September 30 with a convincing 19-0 win over Lawrence Academy. The veteran O'Malley and newcomers Meyer and Noyes each contributed a touch- down to the cause, While Antaya's line play gave evidence of the high quality of work he was to display in every game. ELASS UF NINETEEN FURTY The red and black wave was less fortunate in its next three encounters. At Cushing, hampered by injuries to Noyes, O'Malley, and O'Donnell, and facing the strongest Cushing team in many years, Worcester went down tc- the tune of a 13-0 score. Two blocked kicks were the breaks which led directly to the scores. The following Saturday, October 14, the Harvard Freshmen in-- vaded Worcester with one of the finest yearling teams in the East. Led by McNichol, one of the most brilliant 76 running-backs ever to appear at Gaskill Field, the Crimson triumphed, 19-O. At New Haven on October 21, the Academy lost its third straight game, this time by a 26-7 margin. The Acad- emy touchdown came as a result of two brilliant pieces of running and some splendid blocking. Intercepting a Yale pass almost on the Worcester goal line, Meyer returned the ball to mid-field. On the very next play, O'Malley broke loose around his own left end for a touchdown. O'Donnell made the con- version. The Hilltoppers broke their losing streak in their next game to trounce Huntington, 20-O. The Academy dis- played a versatile offensive, featuring several forward and lateral passes, with Noyes accounting for two touchdowns, one on a thirty-yard gallop following an interception. The third score came when the alert l. E. Foley recovered a fumble behind the Huntington goal line. Playing without the services of O'Malley and Meyer, the Red and Black, nevertheless, closed the season in a blaze of glory with a 26-12 win over a powerful Monson team. The game was both hard and rough, but scores by O'Donnell, Noyes, Wilbur, and Galliher spelt the victory. In general the team was probably stronger than its record of three wins and three losses would indicate. Injuries hampered the team all season, but the three defeats were all at the hands of exceptionally potent opponents. Co- captains Antaya and Noyesg backs O'Malley and Meyer, and linesmen Barrett, Antaya, Foley, and captain-elect O'Keefe all deserve mention for out- standing performances. To coaches Bockoven, Sargisson, and Brown a bow for bringing the team along nicely to its two final victories. SCHEDULE Date Opponent Place W.A.

Coach Shaw's soccer team, with rather dubious prospects for a success- ful year, opened its season with seven lettermen, headed by Captain Mac- Dougall, from last year's team. Of these seven veterans five were backfield men, and the lack of experience in the line was apparent in the season's opener, a 2-O loss to Watertown High, October ll. The following Saturday, an improved Academy outfit battled Nichols lunior College to a l-1 tie. A lack of scoring power was still evident, as several fine chances were missed. Wednesday, October 18, found the Worcester booters traveling to Monson Academy to be nosed out 3-2 in a loosely played game.

Despite these handicaps Worcester played its finest soccer, and may well feel proud of the narrow margin of the 1-O defeat. On October 25 the powerful Brown Freshmen team routed a crippled Acad- emy line-up, 5-1, at Providence, but Coach Shaw's men came into their own on October 28, to trounce Williston for the first time in nine years, 3-1. The sea- son ended gloriously with an overtime 2-1 win over the strong Harvard Frosh team. Special laurels go to Leo Anderson, and next year's co-captains, Grant Nel- son and Doug Sylvia, who supplied most of the scoring punch, to Captain MacDougall, whose play and leadership was an inspiration, to defense-man loe Sheehan, who thwarted many an enemy scoring threat, and to Coach Shaw and the whole team for the improvement made throughout the season.

Although opposed by stiff competition, W.A. showed up well in this opening encounter. Facing one of the strongest teams in the city, the Grays bowed in defeat, 21-O before Commerce High School. Evi- dently intent upon making up for the previous week's defeat, the Gray team scored its first victory of the season by defeating Northbridge High School, 7-6. Winding up their season, the Grays were defeated by Classical High School of Worcester, 19-O. This year's team, although not always victorious, was a hard-working, hard- fighting group. A great deal of credit is due Mr. Keck for turning out a competent team from the comparatively inexperienced material available. Co-captains Beamer and Kameese, players Price, Melanson, Kokins, and Moroz were outstanding on a squad which may very possibly furnish some of next year's varsity material.

Bockoven This year's edition of Worcester Academy's basketball team balanced its books with a record of eight victories and eight defeats. The team, with no veterans in the first line-up, displayed a lack of consistency which stood them in poor stead in a few games. Had the team been able to maintain steadily the high calibre of play shown against Andover and Exeter, the record would have taken its place with the best in the last fifteen years. The WA. men got off to a good start with a slashing 46-26 win over the Clark layvees, but three days later the same starting five bowed to a strong Monson array, 35-23.

The high point of the season was reached in the following game when a highly-touted Andover team went down to a 48-29 count. The team play and pass work was of a very high order in this contest, and Captain Preston was setting up some beautiful plays for for- wards Quiri and l. l. Foley. The Bockoven quintet suffered a sharp relapse after the Andover win, and five defeats were chalked up against them before they emerged from their mid- season slump. The 45-36 loss to the Harvard F rosh was the first of these, and it found the Academy team in probably its poorest exhibition of the year. Cush- ing, always a hard team to beat on its own floor, edged out a 38-35 win, and Lawrence, beaten earlier in the season, had a six-point margin on W.A., again in one of its less creditable showings. The next two defeats were at the hands of Exeter, 43-42, and the Brown Fresh- men, 57-37.

The losing streak was snapped when the Hilltoppers gained revenge on Cushing, l. l. Foley leading the way to a convincing 42-27 win. The W.P.l. layvees were the next victims, 45-37, but Williston, with two of the finest for- wards in New England, downed Bocky's men, 55-33. The last game of the season, played on Worcester County Day, was probably the most exciting, and the overtime 39- 38 margin, made the finale a glorious one. Most of the team's difficulties this year may be blamed on the fact that the team was composed of five men who had never previously played together. Individually, Captain Preston was a fine passer and play maker, Don Abbott, a high scorer and smooth ball-handler, and Babe Quiri and the two Foleys hard workers and consistent scorers. Coach Bockoven deserves a world of praise for the success he achieved with an inexperienced team. SCHEDULE Opponent Place W.A.

Feldman came within three-fifths of a second of breaking the National Inter- scholastic Prep School Record and did succeed in setting a W.A. school and pool record. The early meets this year were all won handily, Worcester being entirely too powerful for the majority of its oppo- nents. Even Andover, always strong, was submerged by a sixteen-point margin. On February tenth the mermen tied with the powerful Harvard Frosh, at 33-33, the only deadlock of the season in a dual meet. Against Exeter the 84 following week, however, Worcester avenged last year's only defeat, by a score of 37-29. The rest of the meets were fairly easy for the well-balanced Academy team. W.A. and Pawtucket High School tied for first place in the Brown Interscho- lastics with 44 points apiece. This meet, held at Brown on March 2, afforded keen competition against many excellent teams. At the end of the season the team was awarded major letters for its undefeated record. Coach Wally Hedquist did an excellent job of coaching in this his first year at WA., and we hope that next year he and Captain-elect Sylvia will have another fine team.

The first meet of the season saw the Hilltoppers win the 1200-yard relay at the Boston Y.M.C.A. Relays. At the Prout Games Worcester triumphed to become the New England Prep School Mile Relay Champs.

Finishing their season at the Bowdoin Interscholastics, the W.A. trackmen placed fourth, with Sheehan scoring a first in the mile.

Captain Frederick R. Avis . The reason for the rapid increase in fencing as a winter sport at W.A. and consequent successful seasons has been largely the fine coaching of Fred Doc Avis. With six returning lettermen as a nucleus, this year's team won five out of seven matches in a very difficult schedule. The first two meets, against Cranwell Prep and the Brown Freshmen re- spectively, were easy victories for the Hilltoppers. The following match against the excellent Exeter team proved a much more difficult obstacle, but W.A. gained a creditable 5-4 victory. lohn I. Weinheimer, '42 . . Manager . .

Coach The current edition of the Red and Black baseball team, with five veterans and an abundance of new material, enjoyed one of the most successful seasons in the school's history. As the Towers went to press, the team had won all of its first six games. After having been delayed and forced to practice in the gym by many days of inclement weather, the baseball men finally went outdoors on April fifteenth. Coach Bockoven soon molded together a fast-fielding infield and a hard-hitting outfield. The mound staff was strong, for it included veterans Tom Galliher and CLASS UF NINETEEN FURTY Harry Leete, and a promising newcomer in Walt Curtin. The first game, with the Brown Fresh- men, was cancelled because of rain, but the Hilltoppers opened the season on April 27 with a slashing 11-3 win over a favored Monson team, thus avenging last year's defeat. Tom Galliher, burly right-hander, pitched the entire game and blinded the Monson batters with his dazzling speed. The hitting of Captain Kenary paced the W.A. attack. The Red and Black continued their winning ways with a 5-2 win over a powerful Harvard Freshman team on the 90 following Wednesday. Harrison Leete pitched brilliant ball, restricting the F rosh to five hits. The Hilltoppers unleashed their heavy artillery as they chalked up their third straight victory of the season at the expense of Huntington School, by a score of 14-9. Walter Curtin, twirling his first game of the year, coasted to an easy victory. Pat Barrett was the hitting star of the game, slashing out a home run and a triple. The next game was the high point of the season, as the W.A. nine topped Holy Cross for the first time since 1931, by a score of 8-7. To Harry Leete, who relieved Tom Galliher with the bases loaded and no one out in the eighth and the score standing at 7-6 in favor of Worcester, goes the credit for turning almost certain defeat to victory. He later singled in the ninth and scored the winning run. He also pitched the next game against Lawrence Academy, which Worcester won handily, 10-2. The hit- ting and fielding star of the game was Tweet Guiney, who not only handled nine chances in the field without an error but also hit two triples and a single. On May 15 the Bockoven men jour- neyed to Ashburnham to shut out Cush- ing, 3-O, in one of the best-played games of the season. Tom Galliher was again on the mound and in top form for this contest, as he let the hapless Cush- ing batsmen down with only four scat- tered hits. Coach Bockoven, to whom much credit should go for developing the team, says that this was one of the best- spirited ball teams that he has ever coached and that it is the first team that he ever had on which every man was a potential extra-base hitter. This 1940 team under the splendid leadership of Captain Frank Kenary will go down in the annals as being one of the finest teams W.A. has ever had, with an excellent chance of being the first team since 1914 to be undefeated.

The per- formances given by the whole cast were uniformly good, and the audience was kept in gales of laughter by the amusing situations and clever characterizations. More lines to learn, more cues, more rehearsals, and Eta Kappa Alpha was prepared for its second triumph of the season. On March 16, after taking a road trip to Charlton, Mass., to perform at a home for the aged, the footlight players produced another comedy in three acts, Glen Hughes' Running: 104 Wild. The scene was a desert inn, which had its quota of queer transientsg namely, lim Boyce, as an eccentric old biologist, Cassius Barnes, as an ap- prenticing G-man, Bud Holt, as the inn- keeper's nephew, and Lew Wilson, as a play producer traveling incognito. The feminine roles were amusingly played by George Bates, Bob Williams, and Mickey Rafkinp with Paul Menard ex- cellent as a colored maid. The story involved a fake murder, a fake sheriff, and a neat denouement. The Ocarina Quintet made its initial appearance during this play, and it appears that the ocarina is here to stay. lack Ryan and Phil Knight also lent able talents, with lack dancing and Phil singing. Eta Kappa Alpha sent three of its best men to Worcester State Teachers Col- lege on the night of April 6, to compete in a play contest against other schools and colleges. Boyce, Ryan, and Wilson put on a one-act play called To Kill a Man. These three boys brought honor to Eta Kappa Alpha and W.A., for they won second place: while Lew Wilson won first prize for the best piece of acting among all the contestants. On May 31 the school was given a preview of future W.A. stars, when Mr. Smith presented a group of boys from the lower classes, acting with obvious enjoyment and gusto, in a lunior Play. The performance was greeted with equal enjoyment and gusto by the audience. This year's season added a few more laurels to the splendid record of Eta Kappa Alpha, and to its director Mr. Smith, who has set so high a standard in all his productions, must go the bulk of the credit. The hard-working staff, whose names are listed at the beginning of this article, and the talented group of actors also deserve a Word of praise and tribute.

The lofty yarns used in these fabrics are usually spun on a machine called a Mule, which uses a principle similar to hand spinning-drafting and twisting the fibres at the same time. This principle is one of the oldest now in use in the textile industry, but even so it makes a stronger more uniform, more lofty and more accurate yarn than do more recently discovered methods. These newer methods have come into general use in some branches of the textile industry because of their economy. In the last year or two for the same reason they have made some progress in the woolen industry, but this trend has recently been retarded by the development of a Mule with a larger spinning package, which has enabled the Mule to manufacture wool yarns just as cheaply as other spinning methods land in some cases more cheaplyl. This so-called GIANT Package Mule has been de- veloped by lohnson 61 Bassett, Inc. of Worcester, Massa- chusetts, which company has manufactured Mule spinning machinery since 1870.
