TOZIEB MARCH so, 1910-DECEMBER a, 1942 The death ot Mr. Tozier for the boys who knew him is the loss of a personal friend for he had all the qualities which characterize that rarest of persons, the truly great teacher. He possessed a thorough knowledge and understanding ot his subject and the ability to communicate that understanding to his students. He had a genial sense of humor, which made dullness impossible. And, best ot all, he had a warm heart, which sympathized with the problems and difficulties ot those whom he taught. The time has never been nor ever shall be when men like Mr. Tozier, whose life meant so much in terms of service to others, can die without moving us to the deepest sorrow.

The annual film, The Forgotten Village, the proceeds of which are used to establish a scholarship for a deserving Worcester Academy boy, was presented in Warner Memorial in April. The efforts of Mrs. Harvey P. Sargisson, chairman, and her com- mittee should be commended for selecting a film of such realism and interest. The presentation of this film necessitated a great deal of hard work on the part of the club members. We appreciate the contributions and interest of the Thimble Club in our school activities and hope their untiring efforts will not go unre- Warded in the future. 4 5-:Q fir I KM 'I l?l'4'?f 61 I l If 'Q A all: '. .

In December the re- maining four boys were inducted as members of the already capable board. The Board ot Monitors under the earnest guidance of Charles Call, Head Monitor, provided the resolute leadership and the closer relationship between faculty and student body so necessary in times when our national lite emphasizes hard work, discipline and attention to duty.

Historian Senior Class History The Class of l943 began its ex- istence at Worcester Academy tour years ago when twelve somewhat be- wildered but determined freshmen appeared on the campus to form the nucleus ot a class which has now in- creased to almost seven times its original size. Oi these twelve, Brown, Fyte, Long, R. Murphy, O'Connell, O'Sullivan, and Siewers are still in the Class ot 1943. During their Fresh- man year the members ot the class made an inauspicious acquaintance with the Senior Bench, but in general, under the guidance ot Mr. Edward L. Butler, they thrived in their existence. In the following fall several more students introduced themselves as members of the Class of 1943, and its membership increased to twenty- seven. In March, Class President David H. Adams presided over a very successful class banquet at Putnam and Thurston's, good food and cigars being the order of the day. Later in the year at Webster Lake at a picnic held jointly with the freshmen. This was the last class function at which Mr. Butler was present, for at his departure from W.A. at the end of the school year Mr. Charles W. Tozier assumed the duties which Mr. Butler had so ably carried on. As Iuniors, the class, which had grown to number fifty-one, elected Wilhelmy, Li, Call, Ross, Siewers, and Weed as class officers. On April 25 hearts were a-flutter and voices gay at the lunior Prom, Dol Brissette's orchestra furnishing the music. The Annual lunior Banquet was held in Adams Hall late in May. After a delicious meal, over which Class President Wilhelmy presided, Mr. l. Victor Blanchet gave the principal address. Call, Kowicz, Li, Ross, and Wilhelmy were elected to the Board of Monitors for the coming year. At the end of the lunior year the class again lost a faculty adviser when with regret they saw Mr. Tozier leave the school. However, the Class of 1943 clearly showed a determination to make their final year at Worcester Academythe most successful one of all. When the class returned in Septem- ber, Mr. William W. McAlpine was made Class Adviser, and Mr. William B. lennison assumed the duties of Adviser to the Towers. The class voted Donald W. Fogg as president to lead them through their final year, the other officers being Kowicz, Long, Martel, O'Sullivan, Fontaine, and Reese. In December Fogg, Garfield, Mar- tel, and O'Su1livan were installed as monitors to complete the Board. With the end of the fall term, Mr. Wade, our much liked headmaster, departed from W.A. The Class of 1943 was sorry to see him leave, but it was pleased with the choice of Dr. Campbell as Mr. Wade's successor. On March 13 the Senior Prom, the climax of the year's activities, was held in the Megaron, which for the first time was the scene of this gala occasion, and over forty-five couples attended the affair. Mr.McAlpine and Ernie Ross and his committee did an excellent job of decking out the Megaron in red, white, and blue streamers arranged in a V theme, and the glittering silver ball suspended from the ceiling made a big hit. All who attended proclaimed the dance a great success and the flowing rhythm of Andy lacobson and his orchestra smooth. The Class of 1943 was well repre- sented in all phases of the school activities. Many helped maintain the records of the several undefeated teams which functioned during their stay at W.A. The class also had its scholastic leaders-many consistently placed high on the honor roll while at Worcester. The Class of 1943 is the second class to graduate during World War II. Many of its graduates will go di- rectly from commencement and the happy memories of the Senior Ban- quet into the armed forces. It is cer- tain that they will distinguish them- selves and Achieve the Honorable. Class Officers, Iunior Year 31 I 1 1 J, , 5 . I . - 1- L' ' - ff I DAVID H.

French Sueling Li Cum Laude is an honorary society which recognizes high scholastic achievement in preparatory schools. Founded in 1906 at the Tome School, it is the only recognized pre-colle- giate honor fraternity. Worcester Academy was one of the first to join, entering in 1912. The Society originally had a Greek letter nameg but because of possible confusion with others of similar names, it was decided to adopt the name, Cum Laude. Only those who have lohn R. Reese Robert C. Shoemaker, lr. George H. Woodward maintained a high standard through- out their four years may be elected to the Society. The key, symbol to the Society, is awarded at an induction ceremony during Commencement week-end, and is an ever-present reminder of prep school days. The secret hand- shake is a bond ot recognition and friendship to all members wherever they meet. We congratulate the members from the Class of l9-43. Fair Worcester Air-Fair Harvard Fair Worcester enthroned on the hills in thy pride With the city domes gleaming belowp 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 throngp 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.

As mem- bers of this ambitious group, William Bloom, Courtland Cross, Ted Hal- perin, Dexter Harris, lohn Hawkes- worth, Robert Martin, and Robert Wald showed that they were to lead the class in future activities. This year the lunior class was composed of forty-three students. A large number of boys new to the school were included in this group. The first class meeting, at which Mr. Peckham was appointed class adviser, the following boys were elected to lead the class, Robert Wald, Presi- dent, Tom Hartwell, Vice-president, Dexter Harris, Secretary, Robert Martin, Treasurer, and Si Sweet, Athletic Representative. ' so The lunior Prom, highlight ot the year, was held in April, and forty- five couples enjoyed the music of Russ Cole and his orchestra. The Megaron was decorated with red and black Worcester banners, and the school seal occupied a prominent place. Bob lohnston was chairman ot the Prom Committee, assisted by lack Dolan, Harry Spencer, and lim Andreson. President Wald presided at the lunior Banquet, which was held in Adams Hall late in the Spring term, and at which speeches, good fellow- ship, and songs were the highlights. The affair was climaxed by the elec- tion of the Board of Monitors for next year. The Class of 1944 is looking forward to a glorious Senior year at Worcester Academy.

Going into its last game with Nichols Junior College, WA. had chalked up five straight victories including a 30-O win over this same Nichols aggregation in an early season practice tilt. In the second Nichols game, the Dudley array, though outplayed throughout, put up a sufficiently strong goal line defense to pull out with a 7-7 tie. In its first game Worcester de- feated an inexperienced Huntington eleven, l9-O. Bill Thompson and Ray Fontaine were standouts, the former being directly responsible for thirteen points while the latter's forty yard touchdown sprint was equally impressive. Two weeks later at Lawrence Acad- emy, a third period safety and Fon- taine's beautiful ninety-one-yard run- back of an intercepted pass provided the winning 9-O margin over a tough Lawrence ball club. Between these two games the 30-O practice victory over Nichols was registered with the all-round bril- liance of Al Carr a feature. W.A.'s fourth victory came one week after the Lawrence game when the Worcester Tech freshmen went down to a 13-O defeat. Frank Letizia, Carr, and Fontaine all excelled. The traditional game with Cushing netted a hard won 14-13 W.A. victory. Bill Thompson's point-after place kicking abilities meant the difference between victory and a tie here. Throughout the season the open field running of Bullet Fontaine and the defensive play of Dyer Weed shone probably above all else and it seems fitting that these two were named co-captains. However, to each of the other players a great deal of credit must be given for their contribu- tion in molding one of the strongest teams in recent W.A. history.

Manager In spite of the curtailed athletic pro- gram, the WA. soccer team played three local games, failed to gain a victory. However, because of the lack of a coach Captain Li took over that posi- tion and with the assistance of Mr. Alec Mason and veterans lohnston, French, and Reese, did a praise- worthy job of moulding the green squad into a hard-fighting outfit. At Gaskill Field in the first game of the year, the soccermen suffered a 5-l setback at the hands of the Clark varsity. In the final period Blossom booted in Worcester's one score. In the second game, the Hilltopper booters encountered the W.P.l. fresh- men at Tech Field. The game was close and hard fought, and the preppers played well, but the final score stood 2-O in favor of W.P.I. The red and black returned to Tech for the final contest of the year. Both sides were greatly handicapped by a strong wind. For four quarters and one overtime period the two teams battled to a scoreless deadlock, but in the second overtime period the engineers rallied to score and won a hard-fought game. Throughout the season Li and lohnston played brilliantly for the attackers while Boyce, Reese, and French were defensively effective. All the members of the team deserve praise for their noteworthy perform- ance and fine team spirit. First row: Shuttleworth, Curley, Kowicz, Creedori, B. Murphy. Second row: Sweet, Strickler, Boyce, Taragowski, Mr. Bockoven Basketball STAFF Samuel A. Kowicz .... Captain Mr. Harold Bockoven . Coach This was a difficult year for Worces- ter Academy basketball. Because of gas rationing and other wartime re- strictions, Coach Bockoven was forced to cancel the regular schedule and get games with local teams. In the first of these, an unofficial contest with North High, Capt. Sam Kowicz turned in a beautiful guard- ing job against Andy Laska, North's highly-touted forward, and as a re- sult, the Bed and Black squeezed out l. . a 34 to 30 win. Then the team suffered two quick defeats at the hands of a clever Worcester Tech l.V. aggregation. But in the finale with Clark, Chan Creedon's twelve points led the way to a WA. victory, giving the team a season's record of two wins and two losses. The team and Coach Bockoven are to be con- gratulated for a season which showed steady improvement in the face of severe wartime handicaps. First row: Harris, Martin, Wilhelmy, Brindamour.

Robert Martin and Bob Wilhelmy stood out in the meet with Martin taking a first in the 200-yard tree-style, and Wilhelmy capturing the 50-yard tree-style. Cross took a second in the lOO-yard breaststroke, and Martel came in to show in the IOO-yard tree-style. Brindamour placed in the lOO-yard backstroke. Pemstein, Aronson, and Harris completed the squad. A special tribute should be paid to Harris for his excellent work in the inter-club swimming meet, wherein he took a first in the lOO-yard tree- style and won the diving. Captain- Coach Wilhelmy may well be proud ot his squad. it V it tl First row: Fifield, Shutfleton, Kelly, I. Baker, Stinson.

Manager Mr. Harvey P. Sargisson , , Coach Due to transportation difficulties, Coach Sargisson was unable to sched- ule any meets for the winter track squad. However, the relay team was invited to the B.A.A. meet held in Boston on February 3. The team, consisting of Baker, Bilotta, Fifield, Kelly, O'Sullivan, and Shuffleton, placed a strong third. An especially large group of underclassmen prac- ticed with the squad every afternoon and many prospective lettermen were discovered. Rangy Dan Kelly, sopho- more wonder of the track, was defi- nitely Coach Sargisson's find of the year. Two other underclassmen who should do big things in the future are George Fifield and Sol Bloom. With a little practice and coaching freshman Ralph Breed may develop into a crack high hurdler. With so much young talent, next season's track team should be particularly successful.

Manager Mr. Frederick R. Avis . . Coach The nineteen forty-three fencing team, the eighth since the sport was instituted by Coach Doc Avis, con- centrated on building, from the raw- est material, winning teams for the future. Although handicapped by the return of only one letterman, Capt. Dave Adams, Doc turned out a team which might have proven poi- son to the usual college freshmen squads. The proof of this was the out- standing victory against the Yale lunior Varsity on February 27 at New Haven. The fencers won by the score of 15 to 12. The short season was also highlighted by two exhibitions for the entertainment of the personnel and patients at the New Base Hospital of Fort Devens and three exhibitions at the U. S. O. Club in Shirley, Massachusetts. Members of the Varsity were, in foils: Brown, Cohan, and Kistler, in epee: Captain Adams, Paradis, and Weaver, in sabre: Kelleher, French, Daniels, and Woodward. The mana- ger was Ted Halperin. First row: R. Carroll, McSweeney, Curley, Kowicz, Shuffleton, Kelly, Zorn. Second row: Mr. Bockoven, Sweet, Dewar, Wilhelmy, Campbell, l.

Hefner, Ir. . Manager Mr. Harold N. Bockoven . . . Coach The first practice session at Gaskill Field revealed many experienced ball players plus several diamonds in the rough. After two weeks of steady practice, a snappy club was weeded out from the many candidates by Coach Bockoven. The team took their first game of the season with a six to four win over Shrewsbury High. The first nine consisted of Bob Krieger, ace hurler, Bog Carroll, first base, Dunk Dewar, secondg Don Shuffleton, short, and Terry McSweeney, third. The outfield territory was trusted to three of the team's most valuable players, Captain Sam Kowicz, Doc Curly, and George Carroll. The boys from Shrewsbury kept the Academy nine on their toes throughout the game. The Bockoven boys took to the field in the last of the ninth, leading six to four. The climax of the inning came with three men on, the count three and two on the Shrewsbury batter. Throwing all his speed and control into one last effort, Bob Krieger grooved one across the plate for the strike that saved the game. As the Towers goes to press, the team has played no further games. A good season is, however, certainly in store for them. Although the nucleus of this year's team will be lost through graduation, many reserve under- grads will be left for next year's team. First row: Fifield, Stinson, Call, E. Ross, Thompson.

Sargisson .,., Coach This spring approximately twenty- five candidates reported for spring track. Ot this group, veterans Call, Fifield, and Stinson, together with newcomers Brindamour, lohnston, and Thompson, have thus far proved to be the mainstays of the squad. As the Towers goes to press, the track team has not yet competed in any meets. However, under the ex- cellent coaching of Mr. Sargisson the team expects to make a good showing in meets with the Worcester high schools as well as Spencer and Hold- en. It is hoped that in the New England Preparatory Schools meet at Andover the Sargisson men will make as creditable a record as last year's team, which took third place. First row: P. Spaulding, R.

Barker This year's tennis team had only two from last year's galaxy ot stars, Robert Wald and Sueling Li. Having to fill in the remainder ot the squad with new additions, Coach Barker turned to such aspirants as Bob lohnston, Ruskin, Long, Greene, Boyce, Paul Spaulding, and French. The squad was outstanding in its age group with freshman Spaulding and juniors lohnston, Wald, and . Coach Ruskin occupying places right up at the top of the ladder. In future years Worcester may look back at this squad as the nucleus for the coming successful teams. Several matches were played with high school teams and the WA. squad under Coach Barker proved a well- rounded outfit playing with conti- dence and zeal. isiii?gEEEES!!!!!!!g, 1 Ig'- ix S- X X R XXX M, xmlum X. Q4 -1l'l'1m NL- xiix ' ' I P C::f44LiiViiie4 Senior Prom As always the outstanding social event of the season, the Senior Prom, took place on Saturday, March 13. Attended by the greater part of the Senior Class, the Prom was held in the Megaron for the first time in the school's history. The change was necessitated because stringent new fire laws and wartime shortages made it impossible to use the Gym. On entering, each of the forty-tive couples was presented to the Pa- tronesses: Mrs. LeRoy A. Campbell, Mrs. F. Harold Daniels, Mrs. William W. McAlpine, and Mrs. Earle W. Peckham. Andy lacobson's orchestra pro- vided the music for the occasion, and the choice was applauded by all who attended. The Megaron was decorated to con- form with Worcester Academy's war- time spirit. A victory theme was fol- lowed throughout. V's with their at- tendant . . . -'s, Worcester Academy initials, and red, white, and blue streamers ornamented the walls and ceiling. The Academy seal overhung the orchestra and a revolving ball, resplendent with a myriad of mirrors, cast designs in light over the dancers. In the old Gym was a table decor- ated in red and white, a spotlight making even more brilliant the red carnations on its surface. As the guests slowly departed, taking their leave of the patronesses, in every mind there was no question that the Prom had been a success, a success which was proof of the ex- cellent job done by the committee and the ushers.

War-time speed-up of the school program prevented the usual two-play season. Adam's Evening, directed by the club's jovial director, Mr. L. l. Smith, was presented in Warner Memorial after the Winter Term Dinner. The audience, in a receptive mood after the good fellowship in Adams, sat down to an hilarious and enjoyable evening.

The solemn ceremony of initiation into Eta Kappa Alpha faced the new members soon after spring vacation. The boys survived the ordeal and were pronounced members of this group of players, stage-hands, and good-fellows. Eta Kappa Alpha deserves further mention because of its contribution to our school life and its value to those who participate in the productions. First row: Shoemaker, Gillmore, E.

Founded shortly after Worcester Academy was organized, Lego has had a long and successful career. This year Lego continued with her old tradition-Dave Adams, Presi- dent, seeing to that. He, Vice- president Russell French, and Treas- urer Sueling Li were instrumental in opening the new clubroom in Main Davis, generously turnished by Mr. Small before joining the army. Lo- cated on the second tloor ot Main Davis, the clubroom is comfortable Mr. Clittord H. Littlefield and contains all the accumulated archives ot Lego's past. This year two new members ot the taculty, Mr. O'Connell and Mr. Little- tield, were inducted as honorary members ot the society. During the year Doc Avis gave several lectures on blood types and on the organization and work ot the blood banks here in Worcester. Club members were invited on a tour of inspection ot the oldest blood bank in the city, located at Memorial Hospital. The highly successtul year ot 1943 was climaxed by an outing and a picnic.

This year the thirty-seven club mem- bers have been firing in their North Dexter range regularly for the National Rifle Association course. At present, there are twenty-nine bar sharpshoot- ers and eight sharpshooters. Because of war conditions, am- munition has been difficult to obtain and, consequently, there have been few competition matches. When members of the club grad- uate from the Academy they will have had valuable training in the care, construction, and use of guns. This experience will be helpful to them as well as to Uncle Sam when they take their places in various branches of the armed forces. Standing: Masters, Long, Call, Bloom.

The year was highlighted by the Central Massachusetts lnterscholastic Chess Tournament wherein Wood- ward, Long, Li, and Call made an excellent showing against players from W.P.I., Holy Cross College, Clark University, and Assumption College. ln April the Massachusetts State Chess Club sponsored a tournament, which was won by our own Malcolm Long who distinguished himself and the Academy by becoming Worcester County champion. Competition was keen within the club during the year with Li, Long, Woodward, Call, and Halperinfighting all the way and finishing in that order.
