On january 23, the first mid-year commencement in the history of Worcester Acad- emy was held. Bob Martin and Bob Wald, valedictorian and salutatorian, respectively, lcd the list of twenty-six graduates. Bob Johnston, voted by his classmates as the member of the class who had most nearly fulfilled their ideal, was awarded the Sigma Cup. Witlm the mid-year graduation, vacancies again appeared on the monitorial board and in the class offices. Openings on the board of monitors were filled by Hartwell, Zorn, Filield, McCarthy, Roe, and Kennett. Bob Morey was elected class president and Fifield, Berg, and Kennett his assistants. In the last of May, the class banquet was held in Adams Hall. After an enjoyable dinner, several addresses were given by various people connected with the school. The class of '44 has come through its four years at W. A. in a blaze of glory. Already many of them are making a name for themselves and for the school at various colleges, and many are carrying on the fight against the Axis. The senior class is grateful to those who made their stay at Worcester Academy a success. In particular, we wish to express heartfelt thanks to Mr. Blossom who assisted in making the Senior Prom a success in the absence of Mr. Peckham and to Mr. Metcalf who started the Towrzas ball rolling. All in all, our stay here has been a pleasant one and an experience not to be for- gotten. Whether we go to college or into the armed forces, we shall always remember the benefits derived from Worcester Academy and will always strive to Achieve the Honorable.
