Second row: Cottrell, Nute, Littlefield, Howard Boorcl of Monitors Nine young men, upon being in- ducted into office as the fifty-sixth Board of Monitors, solemnly answered Yes to the revered oath: Do you, in the presence of your classmates who have elected you and of the entire school, promise to undertake the re- sponsibility of leading the school as wisely as you know how, in work or in play, through victory or defeat, whether popular or unpopular, so that this 29 Academy shall be the home of honorable things? After this simple but impressive cere- mony, the Monitorial Board, headed by Bob Bowman, dealt efficiently with school matters throughout the year, carrying on in the traditionally honor- able way of former class leaders. One can state that they truly maintained and strengthened Worcester's name as a home of honorable things. Achieve the Honorable 5 g f5 3'7 X First row: Rothwell, President McGinn, Skakle.

Historian Senior Closs I-listory The Worcester Academy Class of 1942 originated with a nucleus of twelve freshmen: Adams, Dorman, Cottrell, Carey, Hanna, Hughes, Williams, Wein- heimer, Carey, Curley, Davis, and Emmons. From this small group have sprung two monitors and the captains of this year's swimming and fencing teams. Directed by Mr. William P. Shaw, the class as sophomores elected Paul Hanna as president. Highlights of the year centered in a gala Christmas party in the Megaron and a wild and woolly picnic at the Daniels estate in Rutland. The ensuing Fall of 1940 brought about the election of T. I. Cottrell as Iunior Class President. With Meek, The Haunt, in the role of tax collector, the financial resources of the class soared to great heights. Inspired by this and the encouraging words of W.P.S., the Iunior Prom Committee, headed by Bob Woodward, consci- entiously created a nautical atmosphere for that affair in the Megaron. The scintillating tunes of The Boyntonians added the finishing touches, resulting in a thoroughly enjoyed evening for all present. Climaxing the year occurred the Iunior Banquet, with its usual quota of cigar victims, and resulting in the election of Bob Bowman, Don Beach, Tom Cottrell, Damon Howard, and Ray Littlefield as the first unit of the Moni- torial Board. The Fall of the Senior year saw the entrance of a class of 107. The first noteworthy step taken by the Class of 31 1942 was the installation of Dick McGinn, Don Skakle, Bernie Rothwell, Bud Meeker, Bob Woodward, Frank Mich- alak, and Karl Rohde as officers. The induction of the final unit of the Board of Monitors followed shortly in November. March 14, the evening of the Senior Prom, was undoubtedly the date of the topflight social event of the season. Sam Donahue and his band, solid ex- ponents of that super-jive, with defi- nitely a great future ahead, covered the music situation. The affair was hailed as genuinely successful, and credit goes to Chairman Bob Wood- ward, the Senior Prom Committee, and the I unior Ushers. Scholastically speaking it might well be said that the class has achieved the honorable. Its members have assumed a major portion of the leadership in scholastic honors and extra-curricular activities. In athletics they were the mainstays of the teams. The hockey sextet, comprised almost totally of seniors, produced a sensational unde- feated record, and were acclaimed as New England Prep School Champions. The valiant efforts of the football, basket- ball, baseball, and other teams have also been well recognized. Still dazzled by the fresh recollection of its days at W.A. and with the joys of Commencement still ringing in its ears, the Class of 1942 steps into the world hoping for reunion and success. To future seniors, the Class of 1943, we extend our most sincere wishes for the success they deserve. ?s: Achieve the Honorable The Class as Freshmen Z5 5 Class of Nineteen Forty-two i s? andAas Sophomores - f- 5 -ga 'pw Class Officers, Iunior Year I I W I 1 w W 1 I i Y l XS if Achieve the Honorable X i - b F . , M H, : f- 2:55 S :H Q' S. f 1 I ROBERT C.

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, From thy chalice we quaffed 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.

O'Sullivan, Gerald Rosen, Lawrence B. Siewers, and Gordon Stanley. A class picnic was the high point ot the year's activities. The activities of the class as sopho- mores consisted of a banquet at Putnam and Thurston' s, presided over by David H. Adams and the class adviser, Mr. Butler. As juniors, the class held its first meeting in the Megaron, under Mr. Tozier's guidance, tor the purpose ot electing officers and outlining plans for the coming year. The results of the elections were: President, Robert R. Wilhelmy, Vice-president, Sueling Li, Class of Nineteen Forty-two Secretary, Charles Call, Athletic Rep- resentative, Lawrence B. Siewers, Treasurer, Ernest J. Ross, and Sergeant- at-Arms, Dyer Weed. The tirst function was the Junior Prom, held in the Meg- aron on Saturday, April 25. The prom committee under Chairman Ross spent much time and thought in decorating the dance floor. Dol Brissette's orchestra played good music. All who attended will remember this Prom as one of the most important social events of the year. In May the class held its annual ban- quet in the Megaron, with Bob Wilhelmy presiding. The class elected their choices tor next year's tive monitors. The Junior class, under Mr. Tozier's expert guidance, has made a fine showing in all fields.

Manager Harold N. Bockoven . . Head Coach Harvey P. Sargisson . , . End Coach Roland K. Brown . With few veterans from last year's team returning, Coach Bockoven had to mould a football team of almost entirely new material. Under the inspiring leadership of McGinn, the team com- piled a seasonal record of two wins and four setbacks. The Hilltoppers' first game was with Huntington School in Boston on Friday, October 3. A long run by King together with his placement kick in the closing minutes of play proved the margin for Worcester's initial victory, 7-6. Class of Nineteen Forty-two . . Line Coach On Saturday, October 18, the Red and Black played Lawrence Academy on Gaskill Field. Sparked by Captain McGinn, the team rolled up an early score of twenty points, which gave Worcester a shut-out victory. The following Saturday, Worcester played host to a powerful Harvard Freshmen eleven and was barely nosed out by the Crimson Cubs in a hard fought battle. This 'I-O defeat was the Hilltoppers' first in nine consecutive games. Fine defensive play by the line 'IO together with exceptional running by the backs made this the year's best game. In the next game Cushing, our tra- ditional rival, played host to Worcester on November 3. The Cushing team, previously undefeated, completely out- charged and outplayed Worcester, which was apparently suffering from its great game with Harvard. The final score read 20-O. On November 5, Worcester Academy played the powerful Brown Yearlings, who proved their superior power by scoring a 21-7 victory. This game was featured by Deary's spectacular catch of King's pass in the end zone. Worcester journeyed to Franklin on November 15 to renew gridiron relations with another ancient rival, Dean Acad- emy. Dean, undefeated in two years, completely outclassed the Red and Black. Touchdowns scored by McGinn and King saved the Hilltopper's from a shutout. Coach Bockoven used substi- tutes freely in this game, thereby giving all reserves a chance to earn their letters. The game was featured by runs by McGinn, Rohde, Michalak, and Cameron. Despite injuries which handicapped his play, the outstanding lineman of the season was Bowman. The work of Marsoopian, Darelius, Toomey, and Nute also stood out. Bourget and Clason dis- played exceptional ability in the end positions. Eremian, Deary, Weed, Call, Briskin, Siewers, Perkins, Heiman, Schultz, and Foster played well in sup- port of the regulars. 71 Captain McGinn Captain McGinn starred in the back- field and was ably supported by the three other regulars, King, Rohde, and Michalak. Mitchell, Cameron, and Gillis showed up well in reserve roles, while Devine, Walker, and Shipton also saw service. Although this year's record is not so outstanding as that of some previous years, Worcester Academy came through one of its hardest and most gruelling schedules, showing a generally fine spirit throughout. Head Coach Bock- oven and his able assistants, Mr. Brown and Mr. Sargisson, are to be commended for their tireless efforts to build up a well coordinated aggregation.

Coach Handicapped by the lack of forward material and faced with one of the longest schedules in years, the soccer team underwent two weeks of intensive drill under the guidance of Coach Shaw before the first game. In the opening encounter at Gaskill Field on October 4, the team showed promise, although losing in a 2-O overtime battle to the rugged Dean Academy outfit. The following Wednes- day, Worcester was host to Nichols lunior College. Ed Tan's score in the first period and Captain Urban's in the fourth accounted for our 2-O win. Class of Nineteen Forty-two The Hilltoppers traveled to Cambridge on Saturday, October ll, and lost a hard- fought, well-played game to Harvard in the final quarter by the score of 2-O. Away from the campus again on Octo- ber l5 the Red and Black dropped an- other game, l-O, to Monson Academy and lost the services of Tom Cottrell, who was laid up for the rest of the season with a leg fracture. Back at Gaskill Field, Worcester faced Andover on the following Saturday and lost a bitterly contested 1-O decision. lourneying to Clark College on October 21, the Red and Black chalked up a 2-O 72 win over the Freshmen as a result of Tan's two tallies. On October 25 Williston faced WJ-X. on the Academy's home ground and completely outplayed the Hilltoppers for three periods. The final score read 5-2, with Tan again responsible for Worcester's goals. At Providence on October 29, Worcester faced the Brown Cubs. In an exciting nip-and-tuck game the Acad- emy was nosed out by the score of 2-l despite Urban's tying tally in the third period. A week later the Worcester Tech freshmen easily took the measure of the Red and Black, 2-O, in a poorly played game. On Saturday, November 8, the soccer team closed its season by defeating the M.I.T. freshmen in a rough contest at Gaskill Field. Urban's last period goal gave Worcester its third victory. Throughout the season the exceptional playing of the backfield, especially Tommy Hay, Williams, and Cottrell, kept the opponents from running up their scores. Goalie Mullen, Lockhart, Reese, Mills, French, and Dalrymple also rendered valiant service defensively. In the forward wall the work of Cap- tain Urban and Tan stood out, while Beach, Webber, Gibbs, Rafkin, Li, lohnston, and Evertsen played well. l 73 N QI5: Achieve the Honorable Z? ?g: 4 First row: Sharry, Deary, Captain Govoni, Kowicz, Skakle, Romano.

The absence of Coach Bockoven at the begnning of the year did not daunt the Red and Blackp for under the leadership ot Captain Hank Govoni, the team won its first four games. Although the team lost six out ot fifteen games, four of them were heart- breakers which were dropped by a mere four points. At Harvard the game was closest.

This year's aggregation, cap- tained by Damon Howard, was defeated only three times in the course of a twelve-meet schedule and placed fourth in the Brown Interscholastics. Account- ing for the majority of first places earned by Worcester were lohnny Hawkes- worth, Bernie Briskin, and Captain Howard.

M.I.T. Freshmen dampened Worces- ter's hopes for an undefeated season when the Freshmen won the opening meet, 44-26. But in the following meet, the local tank unit was given a chance to cop its first victory and did so Very handily at the expense of an inexperi- enced and unbalanced Worcester Tech Freshmen team. Following the easy Tech triumph, came five more victories in succession, until the powerful Exonian swimmers 76 hung another defeat on the mermen. Brown Freshmen was the next unit to be defeated by Worcester. Brown, like Worcester Tech, proved a breather because of the lack of their usual dazzling material. From this point on, competition became more keen, but Worcester managed to sink such well- balanced outfits as Dean, Andover, Brookline, and Springfield Freshmen in order. An overflow crowd jammed the gal- lery of the local gymnasium to witness the exciting Springfield meet. It was one of the closest contests on the 1942 Worcester schedule. The thunderous volume of echoing cheers of the loyal Hilltopper rooters spirited the Hedquist mermen with the much needed drive which was necessary to nose out Springfield, 37-29. The next meet with Exeter proved disastrous as far as a Worcester victory was concerned. It was Exeter from beginning to end. In the remaining three meets of the season, Worcester triumphed over Gardner and W.P.l. Freshmen but lost to Harvard Freshmen in the season's finale. The Harvard meet was the high- 77 Captain Howard light of the season for the Worcester mermen. The swim took place at Cam- bridge one Saturday evening early in March.

The relay team of Brown, Latimer, Meeker, and Nute placed second, while Rothwell came Class of Nineteen Forty-two within a split second of tying the world's high hurdle record. The next week Captain Meeker won the lOOO at Andover, where Rothwell broke two cage records and won the 300. After meeting the Northeastern Freshmen in Boston, the team went to Huntington to turn in its best all-around performance of the year. Hoopman MacDougall took time out from the basketball court to win first in the high jump, and Meeker turned in one of the year's best per- formances in winning the lOOO. Another high point of the year came when the school sent Captain Meeker 78 and Rothwell to New York to compete in the National lnterscholastics. Rothwell came back with the Prep School High Hurdles titlep while Meeker placed a very close fourth in the IOOO. To close the season the team went to the Bowdoin Interscholastics in Brunswick. Rothwell broke a Bowdoin Interscholastic hurdle record and also took first in the 300. Meeker placed a very close second to the famed Van Dorpe of Seyton Hall in the lOOO. The team won second-place honors after other fine performances, especially from MacDougal1 and Nute.

Following Easter recess, Coach Bock- oven had a host of candidates answer his opening call to practice.

There were only six veterans as a nucleus in the squad of twenty-five, those being Captain Bowman, Paul Mitchell, Harvey Dare- lius, Ray Littlefield, Hank Govoni, and Dick McGinn.

His teammates, aided by errors and bases on balls, collected seven runs from Darelius and won the ball game, 7-2. Dick McG-inn, Worces- ter third baseman, was the only Acad- emy hitter able to solve Bryan's classy deliveries, when he collected three singles in five trips to the plate. Govoni, Bill Sharry, and Delano were the other Hilltopper batters to hit safely. Harvard Freshmen invaded Gaskill Field on Saturday, April 25, and went 84 back to Cambridge with a 6-4 victory over Worcester. Don Skakle, who divided his athletic time between doing mound duty for the baseball team and wielding a tennis racket for the tennis squad, pitched for Worcester. Don got off to a poor start. In the first two innings he yielded five hits and five runs. Then he settled down, lost his nervousness, and showed great skill in holding Har- vard to one run in the next seven innings. But the first two innings were more than enough to give the lohnnies a 6-4 victory. Dick McGinn sparkled at his third base position for Worcester.

There were nine veterans on the squad, forming a strong nucleus, while many of the new men showed remarkable progress. lt is impossible to report any results of games, since the Towers goes to press before any scores are in. The rewards ot hard work and a fine spirit should mean a creditable number ot wins, however, and the team and its coach Class of Nineteen Forty-two have earned the commendation and backing of the entire school tor their efforts. Although this year's team was small, it made up tor the lack ot number by maintaining a fine competitive spirit. Captain Tommy Hay and the nine veterans from last year's team were Comstock, Cottrell, Briskin, Heiman, Siewers, Williams, Reese and Doane. The first year men developed very well. Doc Avis did a fine job and the whole team appreciates his helping them to learn and play lacrosse. 88 0 Q ,WN gffqvn VKX a A Jll 23-E16 Q 0 Rl f Q Q 1 Saw fs? 'J x 4 Aczfivifies X Senior prom On Saturday evening, March the fourteenth, the outstanding social event of the year took place-the Senior Prom. As each of the seventy couples that attended entered the Hall, they were presented by the ushers to the patron- esses, who were Mrs. Edward LaCroix of Wellesley, Mrs. Robert l. Bowman of Winthrop, Mrs. Harold H. Wade, Mrs. Roy C. Barker, and Mrs. Charles W. Tozier. Because of the untiring efforts of the Prom Committee, with Bob Woodward as Chairman, and of the lunior Ushers with Sammy Kowicz as Head Usher, the decorations in the Gym were very impressive. A large rotating crystal ball, suspended from the center of the ceiling, threw a scintillating shower of multi- colored variations of light on the cloth- covered walls. Directly facing the entrance, over which the silver class numerals stood out against the deep blue background, was the Worcester Acad- emy seal, suspended over the orchestra. Colored lights around the borders of the pool were reflected in a large fountain rising from the center, while the splash- ing water formed myriads of gorgeous crystals. Sam Donahue and his orchestra con- tributed a large share towards the out- standing success of the affair. His torrid tunes and his lilting soft ballads will never be forgotten. All good things must come to an end, and as each couple left the dance floor at twelve, they carried with them mem- ories of a never-to-be-forgotten evening. 91 33: Achieve the Honorable SENIOR PROM COMMITTEE First row: Beach, Underwood, R.

Electrician Eta Kappa Alpha, under the ingenious guidance of Mr. Smith, enjoyed a typically fine year. For the fall term play the club presented Gold in the Hills, a nineteenth century melodrama, aimed to thrill the audience. The promi- nent stock characters were our heroine Nell, that irresistible bit of charm whose heart is pure as snow, played by Ernest Ross, while the hero, a son of the soil, was nobly portrayed by Raymond Little- field. A new acquaintance to W. A. fans, Donald Fogg, dramatically played the villain, black with sin and mustache. Felicitations should also be presented Class of Nineteen Forty-two Basil F. Harrison . . .

Parts made to entertain the lower intellect of the pit featured the comical gestures and win- some voice of MacDougal, and the derelicts Mills and Hay. Setting and lighting effects were made possible by Charles Bourget, Bradford Gibbs, and Bernie Rothwell. Worried initiates reached the frater- nity clubroom one night in lanuary, not knowing what fate was in store for them. They emerged smiling, despite a very eventful evening. 96 On the eleventh anniversary of its last successful presentation by Eta Kappa Alpha, Mr. Smith, with his usual sureness of touch for Shakespeare, directed a highly successful version of The Taming of the Shrew for the Winter term play. For its road trip the play was taken to Fort Devens and per- formed before an appreciative audience of convalescent soldiers. The following night it was presented in the Warner Memorial. The shrew, Katherine, was sullenly and shrewishly portrayed by Donald Beach. She met her match in the forceful Petruchio, Kenneth Hamil- ton, who proved himself the actor of the year by the poise and intelligence he brought to the part. Contrasting lovers, Bianca and Lucentio, were portrayed with conventional sweetness by Herbert Cohan and Raymond Littlefield. Due credit should be extended to Donald Fogg, Carl Dorman, Alvah Meeker, and Basil Harrison, all of whom handled their roles capably, and to Richard Murphy, who stepped into his part on short notice and carried off comic honors. Under Mr. Smith's patient and skillful guidance, Eta Kappa Alpha has steadily advanced to the Very front ranks of secondary school dramatic clubs. The year 1942 has added new laurels to an already splendid reputation. 97 ,E 5? Achieve the Honorable X 'x i E First row: Wald, R. Woodward, Scola, Mr. Tozier, Weinheimer, Fanjoy. Second row: H.

Formerly a debating club, the group has, since 1933, devoted its attention solely to science. The year began with a membership drive which added eight to the member- ship ot the club. The howls ot the novitiates at the initiation could be heard almost across the campus. The regular meetings of the club were supplemented by guest speakers and by occasional movies of scientific interest. Mr. Avis showed a series of films which, needless to say, had biology as their . Faculty Adviser subject. Mr. Small gave a demonstra- tion of the very unusual powers of liquid air, while Mr. Keeler amazed the students with a display of the tricks of physics, for example, an unattached faucet with water running from it. The trips which the club formerly made to the factories of Worcester were discontinued this year because of the secrecy surrounding production for national defense. The officers of the club were: Rafkin, president, Briskin, vice-presidentg Un- derwood, treasurerp and French, secre- tary. A successful year was climaxed by an outing and banquet. l 99 Achieve the Honorable Z5 ?? 5 First row: Russell, Ross, Bell, Steele, Mr. Keck, Montgomery.

Saxophone Although the Pied Pipers lost the services of several outstanding mu- sicians who graduated from last year's well remembered orchestra, they were able to begin this year with a strong nucleus of experienced players, plus several talented newcomers. By their ardent enthusiasm and fine cooperation under the capable leadership of Mr. Keck, they made rapid progress and soon earned opportunities to play at numerous social affairs around Worces- ter, in addition to Worcester Academy dances. One of their more important engagements on the Hilltop was the tea dance at which the girls from Howard Seminary were guests. Their sweet melodic style aroused favorable com- Class of Nineteen Forty-two Roger S. Benoit , Trombone Dyer Weed . . Trumpet Philip Hensel . . . Trumpet lames Montgomery . .

Pied Piper music was familiar to Shrewsbury ears, as the group furnished music for several informal dances there. That they were able successfully to undertake these engagements should be considered a remarkable achievement when one is reminded that most of the boys had no previous experience with a modern dance orchestra. During this last year, as in previous years, this organiza- tion has done a great deal in developing the talents of boys with some degree of musical ability. Much credit is due Mr. Keck for his patience, encouragement, and hard work. lOO First row: Fanjoy, Rafkin, Rothwell, Baker, Hay, Meeker, Mr. Barker. Second row: Briskin, Siewers, G.

The activities of the club got off to a rousing start in the fall with the initiation of a large group of very green, decidedly nervous, but nevertheless promising group of neophytes. The meetings during the year were given over to practice in extemporaneous speaking and open forum discussion, with occasional instruction in Parlia- mentary Law, given by Mr. Barker, the c1ub's adviser. Topics discussed ranged 101 from international affairs to Worcester Academy problems, but all meetings were characterized by vigorous debate. The highlights of the year were a winter dance, attended by thirty-five couples and smoothly run under the capable direction of Curly Hamilton's committee, and a spring banquet at which next year's officers were an- nounced. Featuring the banquet was the competition held by club members for the Ashley Cup for excellence in public speaking.

The student prizes were awarded to Hadley Martin, Dudley lones, Robert Wald, and Davis Metcalf. Raymond Littlefield and Carl Dorman, Politics Club members, addressed the student body on Lincoln's birthday. Regular bi-weekly meetings were held throughout the year.
