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.

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.
