In 1940 the nucleus of the Class of '44 began their career as W. A. students. Of the original group, Bill Bloom, Ted Halperin, Bob Martin, Bob Wald, Ken Dornes, Lem Manchester, and Herb Cohan survive. With Mr. Arsenault as class adviser, the small but determined group weathered the storm of their first year at the Prep, coming out still determined but much wiser. In the fall of forty-one, the size of the class was increased by twenty. Mr. Jacobs was appointed adviser and guided the group through another interesting year at Wor- cester Academy. A number of new boys were added in September of 1942 bringing the class up to forty-four. At the first class meeting, Mr. Peckham was appointed class advisor and the following were appointed to lead the class for the ensuing year: Wald, Hartwell, Martin, Harris, and Sweet. The highlight of the junior year was, of course, the junior prom. Over forty couples danced to the lilting strains of Russ Cole's orchestra. Another important event of the year was the banquet held at Putnam and Thurston's, presided over by President Wald, at which good food and good fellowship were the order of the day. Five of the monitors were elected for the coming year. They were Wald, Martin, Morey, Johnston, and Gallagher. At the first meeting of the much awaited senior year, the class chose Jack Dolan president with Johnston, Martin, and Hitchcock to assist him. Bob Johnston was appointed head monitor by the faculty. The class started the W. A. social whirl with an informal dance in the Megaron after the Deerfield game. The committee, headed by Bob Johnston, chose Russ Cole for music. The band provided smooth melodies for a very successful and well-attended dance. In December, the monitorial board was completed with the addition of five new members. Because of Bob Gallagher's entry into the Maritime Service, five were added instead of the usual four to make the nine. The new members were Berg, Davis, Ward, Harian, and Stephens. On January 8, the biggest social event in the life of a Worcester Academy student took place. The Senior Prom was a huge success mainly because of the untiring efforts of Joe McGuire and his prom committee of Harian, Berg, McCarthy, Wald, Stephens, First Rnfw. lr!! fo righl: J. Baker, W.
