The group, composed of wives of the faculty and trustees, enjoyed at its regular meetings lectures on such topics as Home Decorating and instructive musical programs. In addition to these meetings the club has sewn for the Red Cross and sponsored a scholarship film in Warner Memorial. The annual film, the proceeds of which are used to establish a scholar- 25 ship of two hundred and fifty dollars for a Worcester Academy boy, was entitled The Baker's Wife, a French produc- tion. The raising of this scholarship was undoubtedly one of the largest tasks of the year, the film being shown before three capacity audiences and necessi- tating a great deal of hard work on the part of the club members. Special praise is due Mrs. Tozier, under whose direction the film was presented.

Such, however, was the case when, on September 27, five members of the fifty- fifth Board of Monitors, towered over by Paul Fleming, took the traditional Moni- torial oath: Do you, in the presence of your classmates who have elected you and of the entire school, promise to undertake the responsibility of leading the school as wisely as you know how, in 29 work or in play, through victory or de- feat, whether popular or unpopular, so that this Academy shall be the home of honorable things? This board was com- pleted by the addition of four more members, elected by their fellow class- mates in November. Throughout the year these nine Moni- tors won the respect and admiration of the entire school by the efficient manner with which they dealt with all student problems. It can be indeed said of them that they truly achieved the honorable. 1-XCHIEVE THE HONORABLE First row: P. D. Sullivan, Hickey, N. Brown, Conqdon. Second row: O'Keefe, McGlory, R.

Adviser CLASS OF NINETEEN FORTY-ONE zniur Glass iaistnrg Four years ago, thirteen very young boys arrived at the portals of Worcester Academy. They were the incoming Freshman class and the first to occupy North Davis as a younger boys' dormi- tory. Although Freshman classes at that time were not fully organized as far as officers is concerned, the class, under the leadership of Mr. McAlpine, carried on an active program. A dance and a picnic helped instill in the members a feeling of class unity. In the Sophomore year the class, now increased to 28 by the entrance of new boys, chose as President, Grant E. Nelson. Under his guidance, the officers, together with representatives of the first-year class, ran the annual Freshman-Sophomore Dance. The Meg- aron was gaily hung with multi-colored streamers and had tables at one end, set apart from the main dance floor in the style of a cabaret. Many couples from both classes attended. The year's activi- ties ended with a fine banquet at Put- nam and Thurston's. Coming back to W.A. in the fall of its lunior year, the class elected Paul R. Flemming as its leader. Throughout the year the class proceeded to take a much more active part in school life, being well represented both in scholastic and extra-curricular activities. The main social event of the year, the lunior Prom, was held April 27. The Megaron, decorated by the Prom Com- mittee under the able supervision of Ralph L. Thomas, Ir., represented a spring garden. A large group of en- thusiastic dancers enjoyed the smooth music of the Boyntonians. All who attended agreed that this was one of the most enjoyable and successful dances of the school year. Late in May the class held its banquet 31 in the Megaron. It is at this banquet that the nucleus of the following year's Board of Monitors is chosen. After a stirring address by Mr. Blanchet, the class wisely chose Flemming, Quiri, Hickey, Thomas, and White as its monitors for 1941. Of the original class of 13, 9 had reached the Senior year. The class had, however, increased its ranks to a total of one hundred and fourteen students. In the fall of its Senior year the class selected Joseph F . Hickey as Class President and a capable group of class officers. Becoming Seniors did not stop these young men. Both the old and new members have contributed greatly to the success of the class. In athletics the Seniors were successful, producing un- defeated football and fencing teams, and fine baseball, basketball, and swimming teams. The class had also many out- standing scholars who have made the grade and achieved the honorable. On March 15 the class held its Senior Promenade, at which the splendid music of Bert Lowe helped make the dance enjoyable. The interior of the Gym- nasium was attractively decorated under the guidance of Ralph Thomas and his committee. Additional thanks must be given to Mr. and Mrs. McAlpine for their great help in the making of this grand occasion. After studies are over and final exams have been completed, the Senior ban- quet will be held. This celebration will be followed by graduation and diplomas. Although graduation will send the members of this class far away from Worcester Academy, its history will be carried on by each of its members- may they succeed in life as they have here at Worcester Academy, as members of the class of nineteen and forty-one.

Styles One of the highlights of senior year is the annual spring election of Worces- ter 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 and universities. This secondary school scholastic society has gained much CLASS OF NINETEEN FORTY-ONE prestige since its inauguration, and it is now practically the only recognized secondary school scholastic fraternity. It is certainly a rare privilege to belong to this fraternity, since member- ship is conferred upon only those students of the senior class whose records distinguish them as the out- standing scholastic leaders of their class. Heartiest congratulations to this year's unusually large group. 60 V Z 4 'MW' M' f f nf In , , ff , U 'J PPUDHKEQ We, the editorial staff of the Towers, after having lived with our fellow classmates for a period of time now nearing an academic year, and after having observed certain of their traits and characteristics, make a feeble attempt to prophesy what the future holds in store for the members of the Class of 1941.

Under Mr. Shaw, its adviser, the class held a combined dance with the sophomores. In May, the freshmen were guests at a picnic at the Williams' estate on Damon Pond. The activities of the class as sopho- mores consisted mainly of a merry Christmas party in the Megaron, an annual banquet held at Putnam and Thurston's and presided over by Presi- dent Paul I-Ianna, and a joint picnic with the freshmen at the Daniels' home in Rutland. As juniors, the class held its first meeting for the purpose of electing officers and outlining plans for the CLASS OF NINETEEN FORTY-ONE Adviser coming year. The first event was the lunior Prom, held in the Megaron, Under the supervision of Bob Wood- ward, chairman of the prom committee, the hall was attractively decorated in a nautical scene. Fifty couples enjoyed the rhythmic music of the Boyntonians. This prom will be remembered as one of the year's top dances. In May the class held its annual ban- quet in the Megaron, Thomas Cottrell presided and introduced the various speakers. Before adjourning, five of next year's monitors were elected. The lunior Class, under Mr. Shaw's able guidance, has made fine scholastic and athletic records and looks forward to continuing success in its senior year. 'YO First row: G.

Coach Harvey P. Sargisson This year's football team replaced Worcester Academy on the heights it enjoyed a decade ago, when Worcester was the perennial New England Cham- pion. Not since 1929 has an Academy team gone undefeated, as did this year's aggregation. Led by George Yak O'Keefe, an inspiring leader and great tackle, the team scored six consecutive wins, yielding to the opposition only two touchdowns, while rolling up an im- pressive record. In the opening game a strong Spring- field College Iunior Varsity eleven furnished the Hilltoppers with rugged CLASS OF NINFTFFN FORTY-ONE . . Coach opposition. First and fourth period touchdowns by Reid and Ioyce paved the way to Worcester's victory. The following Saturday, October 12, the Red and Black played Harvard Fresh- men at Boston. An early touchdown by lim Reid and some fine defensive work by the line, especially the guards, made the second win possible. October 19 found the Hilltoppers at Groton, where they met and routed a weak Lawrence team 19 to O. Returning to Gaskill Field for the Huntington game, the team scored six touchdowns, completely out- classing the Boston team. Huntington 74 scored twice, however, and the hopes of being unscored on were crushed. The last home game of the season against Cushing was played in a down- pour that transformed Gaskill Field into a sea of mud. A tremendous last period surge netted Worcester three touch- downs and the most important win of the year. Cushing returned to Ashburnham with nothing but memories of a fifteen game winning streak and some very de- jected rooters. Worcester again left the city to meet its final opponent. The team travelled to Lewiston, Maine, to meet the previously undefeated Bates Fresh- men team. Even without the services of Lank Soule, Yak O'Keefe, and lackie Ioyce, the Hilltoppers came out on the long end of a thireteen to nothing count. Angy DiModica and Bur McGlory scored Worcester's two touch- downs, while lim Reid added the point after. The consistently fine play of Norm Brown, Soule, Learned, Congdon, and O'Keefe in the center of the line, plus the fine wing play of Darelius and loyce, gave Worcester a line that was unquestionably the best of any New Eng- land prep school. A host of fine ball carriers made Coach Bockoven's hardest task that of selecting those to start. White, McGlory, Mitchell, Falconer, Reid, and McGinn were the mainstays of the backfieldp but Herb Bridges, Leo Anderson, lohnny Foley, and Roger Roberge all played fine ball for the Red and Black. Angy DiModica, Kozy Kozicky, Bob Bowman, Gene Young, and Red Captain O'Keefe Hansen all started games in place of injured regulars and, together with Thomas, Haigh and Flemming, who saw action in most of the games, helped to make the season the successful one it was. The contributing factors in the success of the team can be traced to the coopera- tion and fellowship exhibited by all the members, who acted as a unified club with a total absence of individualism. It would be unfair to close this article without a tribute to the untiring efforts of Head Coach Bockoven and assistants Brown and Sargisson in moulding a group of candidates who had never played together into a smooth-function- ing aggregation which closed its season with a perfect record.

Co-captain Coach William P. Shaw's soccer squad opened its season with only five lettermen, headed by co-captains Sylvia and G. Nelson, from last year's team and, although hampered by a number of in- juries, displayed a very creditable record in winning four out of nine games and tying a fifth. In their first game, on October 5, the Hilltoppers easily subjugated an inex- perienced Worcester Tech Freshman team by a score of 3-O with goals by G. Nelson, Urban, and Conroy. On October 9 at Dudley, Nichols lr. College defeated the WJ-1. booters 3-1, with Nelson scoring the only goal in a game in which the Red and Black were hope- lessly outclassed by a veteran Nichols outfit. In an evenly-played game on October 12 the Harvard Freshmen edged out Worcester by a 3-1 margin. Urban scored our only goal, while both Hay and Conroy exhibited fine playing. Fighting off a last period rally by the Monson team on October 16, the Hill- toppers came through with a 3-2 win, in which two of the goals were scored by Basil F. Harrison ..... Manager William P. Shaw ..... Coach Urban and the third by co-captain Sylvia. On October 19, the Red and Black played a beautiful game, tying Phillips Andover Academy l-1 on a brilliant goal by Zurbach. On the following Wednesday the team outclassed a Brown Freshman squad but was defeated 1-O by failure to take advantage of sev- eral scoring opportunities. The Worces- ter losing streak continued October 26 with a 1-O defeat from Williston. Despite mud and heavy rain, the Worcester team was victorious 3-1 over Tufts Freshmen, with two goals by Zur- bach and one by Urban. In their final game of the season the W.I-1. booters downed M.I.T. F rosh at Cambridge 1-0. Nelson scored on a fine pass from Zur- bach, while 1. Cottrell made a spectacu- lar block of a penalty kick to preserve victory for Mr. Shaw's soccermen. Mr. Shaw, ably assisted by Mr. Butler and the co-captains, deserves large credit for the marked improvement shown by the squad as the season pro- gressed, even with an exceptionally hard schedule.

They came back, however, in their second encounter with a rushing 32-O victory over North High School. Opposing one of the strongest teams in the city, the Grays suffered a 19-O setback at the hands of Classical High School. Determined to atone for this defeat, the Gray team fought to a 6-6 deadlock with St. Mary's of Milford. In the last game of a fairly successful cam- paign they were edged 2l-l9 by Mary E. Wells School of Southbridge. Although the team was not always crowned with victory, it proved to be an exceptionally hard-working and hard- fighting squad. Much credit is due Mr. Keck for grooming these varsity stars of the future. The most outstanding play- ers on this year's team were Bates, Eremian, Pappas, and R. Perkins.

Quiri . . . . . Captain Harold N. Bockoven Worcester's basketball team experi- enced rather mild success this year, but they beat three of their most re- spected foes, Exeter, Monson, and Cushing. When the team had an ex- ceptionally good day, it was as good as any prep school team in New England. Cancellations early in the season be- cause of the influenza epidemic proved unfortunate, because it wasn't until the middle of the season that Coach Bock- oven was able to get all his players together and thus discover his strongest five. The team, Without the services of Captain Quiri, lost a close but loosely- played game to the Clark lunior Varsity CLASS OF NINETEEN FORTY-ONE Frank A. Nelson. . . . Manager Coach in the opening encounter of the cam- paign. The second game of the season found the Worcester group playing on the small Monson court. The change from their own large court didn't seem to bother the Red and Black, as they did an efficient job of disposing of their respected opponents. l. l. Foley's set shots and the bucket play of lackie Ioyce were the features of the game, although Murphy of Monson turned in a fine performance for the losers. After this Worcester lost to two extraordinarily fine clubs, Springfield and Dean. The Springfield coach admitted that two of his men were better than most of his varsity performers, and the Dean team 80 went to Glens Falls to represent New England in the annual tournament there. Although the Hilltoppers did not fare too well against these two teams, they gave notice that they would win their share of games before the season ended, which they proceeded to do. Other losses for Worcester came at the hands of Cushing, Brown, and Harvard. The team showed its best form of the year against Williston, when it rolled up sixty-eight points. Foley and Joyce paced the attack, each going over the twenty mark. A driving second half offensive over- came a small Exeter lead, and, soon after the second half opened, the Acad- emy raced into a ten-point lead which they increased to sixteen in the fourth period, as Worcester won its most prized victory of the year. Another highlight of the season was the defeat of Cushing. Playing before an overflow crowd that turned out for the first night game in a decade on the Hilltop, the team put on a fine exhibi- tion. Babe Quiri was high scorer and led an attack that netted thirty-three points in the first half, as compared with Cushing's fourteen. Other Red and Black victories came at the expense of Huntington, Lawrence, and the W.P.I. Junior Varsity. Unsung heroes in many of the games were Hank Govcni and Bob Bowman, who not only turned in'sterling defensive performances but set up plays well and handled the ball with precision. Bow- man was effective off the boards, while Govoni's specialty was pass intercep- tions. Hank was elected to lead the team next year in a close contest with Bowman. Joyce was high scorer for the year with 144 points, while John Foley and Bob Quiri put on a close race for second, with Quiri winning by one point. Mr. Bockoven must be commended on his fine work in molding a squad which contained only two lettermen into a well- knit unit that never stopped fighting. SCHEDULE Date Opponent Place W.A.

Hedquist One of the biggest splashes at Worcester Academy this past year was made by Coach Wally Hedquist's tank brigade. After the nineteen consecutive victories of the 1939-40 Red and Black swimming team, observers believed that the Hilltoppers' winning streak would not continue into this season be- cause of the general inexperience of the team which was to bear the colors of W.A. Coach Hedquist, with the inval- uable assistance of Captain Doug Sylvia, started the boys from scratch and de- veloped a group that made for itself an enviable record. The mermen started their season lanuary l5 by drowning the W.P.I. CLASS OF NINETEEN FORTY-ONE Robert H, Woodward, lr., '42 . . Manager Coach Freshmen, 45-25. Next, they took on the Springfield College Freshmen, de- feating the gymnasts, 36-30. Dean Academy bowed to W.A. a week later, losing 45-21. On Feburary 8, the Red and Black displayed a powerful ex- hibition of speed to beat Brookline, 52-14. Exeter was the next victim, los- ing, 36-30. This was a close meet all the way through, with W.A. coming from behind in the last event, the 200- yard free-style relay, to clinch victory. The W.P.I. Freshmen returned February 19 to try to avenge their earlier defeat, only to get another ducking. This time the tally was 41-25. The meet with Gardner, which followed, was one of 82 the hardest fought of the campaign, but the Hilltoppers came out on top, 37-29. '1'he M.I.T. Freshmen joined the list of victims four days later by dropping their meet, 41-25. Up to this point in the schedule, Worcester had increased the number of consecutive wins from 19 to 27, but, since every good thing must come to an end, so defeat awaited Coach Hed- quist's boys on the day following the M.I.T. meet. Brown University's aqua- tic stars snapped the winning streak by handing the Hilltoppers their first defeat in two seasons and only their fourth in five years. The score was 41-25. Three days later, the Harvard Freshmen swim- mers trimmed WA. by the same score, 41-25. On March 8, the swimmers traveled to Providence, where they entered their last meet of the season- the Brown Interscholastics. W.A. placed third in the meet, in which twelve schools were represented. Outstanding in their performances this past year have been: Captain Doug Sylvia, Worcester's leading exponent of the 50-yard free-style and the 200- yard relay, Ted Deckel, a speedy breast- stroker, who participated in the 100-yard breaststroke and the 150-yard medley r l Captain Sylvia relay, freshman lohnny Hawkesworth, master of the 100-yard and 200- yard free-style races, Bob Wilhelmy, brother of Roland Wilhelmy, who cap- tained the 1938 tank team, an expert in the 200-yard free-style, Damon Howard, captain-elect and a very capable diver, and backstroker Bernie Briskin, Cali- fornia's contribution to the Red and Black mermen.

Manager Frederick R. Avis ..... Coach Great credit is due to Coach Fred Doc Avis for modeling the undefeated and untied edition of the 1941 fencing team. The unblotted record of six consecutive victories is considered as the leading school performance in the East, and the swordsmen easily won the laurels of the New England Preparatory School Fencing Championship as well as beating the highly-touted freshmen out- fits of Yale, Dartmouth, Brown, and Harvard. The Hilltoppers took to the road for a match with the Yale Freshmen fencers, whom the Worcesterites laid low by the score of 18-9. At Andover, two weeks later, the team subdued their hard- fighting opponents to the tune of an CLASS OF NINETEEN FORTY-ONE l8V2-SM victory. In both these early conquests land for the entire seasonl the foil team, composed of Captain Leslie Shumway, Bob Leander, and Roland Gaeta, upheld Coach Avis' predictions by running roughshod over their toes. The next Saturday the toil team visited Exeter, where they crushed their op- ponents, 8-l. The second team, made up of Gil Congdon, Gerald Rosen,Clyde Gould, Ned Hanscomb, and Nick Dra- cos, overcame Exeter's second team, 6-3, thus avenging a defeat at Andover. One week later, the Dartmouth Indi- ans at Hanover were rudely scalped, 21-6. In this victory, the foil, epee, and saber teams combined to overwhelm their toes. Following up this victory, 86 the W.A. fencers, fighting on their own mats for the only time this season, de- lighted a large Worcester County Day audience by crushing Brown University Freshmen, 20-7. Three of Brown's bouts were won by lohnny Hill, an Avis pupil of last year's team. Travelling to lohn Harvard's territory, the Hilltoppers vanquished the previous- ly undefeated Crimson cubs, 20-7, in a hard-fought match in which the epee team, consisting of loe Hughes, Dave Adams, and Roger Taylor, really came into their own. Carl Dorman, Gil Congdon, and Bill Hibbard were out- standing in saber, and Ed Peckham, Bill Sheldrick, Bill Walpole, and Curly Hamilton saw action in most of the meets in foil, epee, and saber respec- tively. Finishing the season unde- feated, the team was granted a major letter by the Athletic Association. SCHEDULE Place W.A. Opp. New Haven, Conn. 18 9 Andover 18,12 826 Exeter, N. H. 8 1 Hanover, N.

The Hilltoppers launched their season April 26 at Gaskill Field against the Brown Freshmen. Despite lim Reid's masterful mound performance, the Academy lost the contest, 2-l. Reid yielded but three hits. The Red and Black nine travelled to Cambridge on April 30 to meet its next opponent, Harvard. When the smoke of battle cleared, the Crimson freshmen had trounced the Hilltoppers, ll-7. The next game was played at Gaskill Field, May 3, where a large Alumni Day crowd saw Bockie's men receive CLASS OF NINETEEN FORTY-ONE 90 their third consecutive setback of the season at the hands of Exeter Academy. The contest was tied by Worcester in the eighth, but the visitors put the game on ice by scoring two runs in the ninth, to win, 7-5. Monson was the Academy's host for the next game, played on May 7. When the team returned to the campus that night it brought back another defeat. Monson had taken the free-scoring contest, 10-9. Because of rain, the next two games on the schedule, one against the strong Holy Cross freshmen and the other against Lawrence, were called off. Worcester won its first game of the season from Huntington on May 14, with a score of 8-7. Gustafson was given credit for the win. Don Murphy hit the Academy's first home run of the season, putting the Hilltoppers in the lead, which they held for the rest of the game. lim Gallagher had a perfect day at bat, getting four hits in four trips to the plate. The team started the season without a captain. It remained so until after the Captain Gallagher Monson game, at which time lim Gal- lagher was elected. The Huntington contest was the first in which he led his team-mates. Bob Woodward served in the capacity of team manager and Ted Halperin was his assistant. SCHEDULE Date Opponent Place W.A.

At eight o'clock the first of the seventy couples attending the dance had arrived and had been presented to the patronesses, Mrs. loseph M. Hickey, Mrs. F. Harold Daniels, Mrs. Gordon Berry, Mrs. Har- old H. Wade, and Mrs. William W. McAlpine. The Prom Committee, headed by Ralph L. Thomas and aided nobly by the lunior Ushers, with Robert H. Woodward, lr. as chairman, had done a beautiful piece of work in decorating the Gymnasium. As one entered, sil- houettes of Warner Memorial, the Meg- aron, Abercrombie House, the Gym- nasium, and Dexter, Davis, Adams, and Walker Halls, contrasted with the white of the canopy, gave the impression of walking upon the campus. Colored spotlights, playing on the ceiling, and a revolving crystal shower which threw sparkling stars of light around the hall heightened this effect. Above the orchestra, set at one end of the room, was suspended a large Worcester Academy seal lit by a yellow spotlight. Over the entry the class numerals in silver glistened against a deep-blue background. Ferns, set at 101 various places around the hall, com- pleted the decorations of the Gym- nasium itself. In the pool a gleaming fountain played upon lilies and lily pads, among which floated decoy ducks. The rippling waters reflected softly colored lights strung in myriads around the 5594 balcony. The largest contributors to the evening's enjoyment and success were, naturally enough, the versatile orchestra of Bert Lowe and the lovely voice of lean Collins. At last, however, much to the sur- prise and sorrow of the dancers, the strains of the closing number announced the end of a most pleasant evening, long to be remembered by the members of the Class of 1941 and their beautiful partners. 1-XCHIEVE THE HONORABLE First row: Falconer, Flemming, Thomas, Bousquet, O'Keefe.

Under the able direction of Mr. Laurence l. Smith, the club produced l acob Lear's The Valley of the Ghosts in the fall term. The scene was laid in a haunted house lo- cated in a valley of the Missouri Ozarks. Fred Pierce and Iohn Murray, both new- comers to the Academy stage, co- starred in a brilliant performance replete with mysterious organs, ghostly screams, weird singing, and a great deal of gun- play. George Bates, in the role of a Negro servant girl, gave, as usual, a superb performance. Laurels go also to Edward Hanscomb, Basil Harrison, Bud Meeker, and Bob Woodward for fine supporting roles.

Director The setting and the handling of lights and effects were excellent, thanks to the untiring efforts of Tommy Hay, Bill Underwood, and Bernie Rothwell. Al- though cramped for space, Eta Kappa Alpha gave a good show on its road trip to the Masonic Home in Charlton. lnitiations were held on the Wednes- day following Christmas vacation, and a fine time was had by allf even neophytes. ln the winter term Mr. Smith chose Shakespeare's Comedy of Errors, celebrating what may be the 300th year since its first presentation. The cast went after the disheartening task of memorizing the Bard's immortal lines with dogged zeal. The play was finally 104 presented Saturday, the 22nd of March. It was a beautiful production, resplend- ent with color and fine acting. Lewis Morris and Kenneth Hamilton played the Antipholi, while Edward Hanscomb and William Brannen played the Dromii. The girls' parts were taken by Bradford Yarber, Iohn Murray, Richard Webster, and Ernest Ross, whose excellent char- acterization of the abbess left nothing to be desired. Eta Kappa Alpha entered the play contest at the State Teachers College again this year, when they presented Yellow, a one-act play dealing with a father's loyalty in the face of a gangster's gun. Donald Atwood, Robert Wood- ward, lohn Murray, and Basil Harrison played their parts well. The play, al- though it did not receive a prize, was acclaimed by all who saw it. It was presented on March 22 as a curtain- raiser, and, as all the members of the cast had parts in the Comedy of Errors, they bore up wonderfully under the strain of having two plays to memorize. To Mr. Smith must go heartiest con- R. Woodward and Mr. Smith gratulations for an excellent dramatic season. Were it not for his fine direction, his helpful criticism, and his cheery words when things seemed blackest, the plays would not have met with such success. The entire student body extends a hand to a fine director, producer, and friend. 105 UACHIEVE THE HONORABLE First row: Hay, R. Woodward, Feldman, Mr. Tozier, Stergios.

Shaw for the pur- pose of creating interest in government and world affairs, used to full advantage the turbulent conditions at home and abroad as a rich source of discussion material for its regular meetings. ln addition to these meetings the club sponsored, as usual, a sympo- sium, The World in Which We Live, under the leadership of Worcester Academy's popular visiting professor 113 of Current Affairs, Howard L. Davis. The club also conducted the annual Time Current Events Contest. Prizes were awarded this year to Mr. Edward L. Butler of the faculty, and, in the stu- dent body, to Donald G. Schine, Franklyn P. Bousquet, lr., Edward F. Fanjoy, lr., lohn P. Ashey, 2nd, and Robert L. Wald.

Feldman At a quarter to seven on every other Sunday evening of the past school year the Worcester Academy Scrawlers Club convened in the room of Mr. Robert D. Thornton, its faculty adviser.

Schine, would present original com- positions, either a short story, an essay, editorial, short play, poem, or a prayer. The club hopes to arouse an interest in CLASS OF NINETEEN FOHTY-ONE Arthur R. Hansen Donald G. Schine creative writing at Worcester Academy and to start a literary magazine. Two years ago it was decided that the annual Bowdoin Book Prize would be given only to a member of the Scrawlers Club. The winning story is published in the Commencement issue ot the Vigornicr. At each meeting ot the organization the themes were criti- cized, both adversely and favorably, by the members. Each meeting was con- cluded with refreshments. 114 First row: Mullen, Gorfinkle, Mr. Brown, L. Doane, W. Crawford. Second row: Halperin, I. L.

Schine One of the most enthusiastic but at the same time one of the groups which works most quietly is the Worcester Academy Photography Club. At its bi- weekly meetings Mr. Brown, adviser to the club, led discussions on camera technique and composition. However, the bulk of the group's activity was carried on independently by the various members, who could be seen snapping pictures of all phases of Worcester Academy life. 115 Many valuable hours of training and experience were spent by the members in the club's dark-room, located in Kingsley Laboratories. Many of the group were exceptionally helpful to the Photography Staff of The Towers, sub- mitting a large number of their most valued prints. The culmination of the year's activi- ties was the annual salon exhibit of work done by the organization, held in the Library at Commencement. HACHIEVE THE HONORABLE First row: A.

This year, however, an extremely enthusiastic group refused to let this obstacle stand in its way. Under the leadership of Mr. Rader and by dint of much hard work, the mem- bers built a fine and complete rifle range in the basement of North Dexter The popularity of this sport is attested by the facts that in the first years of its existence the club has had a total of 35 students and that the range has been in almost constant use. The club is a mem- ber of the National Rifle Associationg and as such, its members are entitled to shoot for medals and bars. CLASS OF NINETEEN FORTY-ONE 116 First row: Hanscomb, Harrison, L.
