From this group John Blossom, Klebe Campbell, Al Goldberg, Charlie Morrill, Joe Thomas, and Dick Ulian survive, four of these six finally becoming Monitors. Under the guidance of Mr. Harvey Sargisson the class endured the trials of their first year, climaxing it with a joint Fresh- mon-Sophomore party at Abercrombie House. Returning in the fall of 1942, the determined students found their class exactly doubled. The activities of the year were limited to another joint Freshman-Sophomore gathering at the Head- master's house, where games and refreshments were the order of the day. The election of McSweeney, Butler, Stewart, and Dunlevy as class officers started the third year off in 1943. Everyone was prepared for the first of his two big years at the Prep. At the beginning of the spring term, the Junior Prom Committee under the able leadership of Don Simon did a magnificent job decorating the Meg- aron for the gala occasion. This important social Rhennmc Coldberi. Fifth Mr, Rader event was attended by nearly seventy-five couples, who danced to the sweet strains of Bob Pooley's orchestra. The second highlight of the year was the Junior Banquet held in Adams Hall, where good food and entertainment were enjoyed by all. Terry Mc- Sweeney presided, and Mr, Blossom and Mr. Smith gave the class some laughs and words of advice. At the conclusion of the evening Mc-Sweeney, Du- fresne, Dunlevy, Simon, Stewart, and Ulian were elected to the Board of Monitors for the coming year. With the end of the year also came an unex- pected loss to the class. Mr. Sargisson, our excel- lent class adviser, left the school to teach at Groton Academy. However, his position was most ably filled by Mr. Harold C. Rader. At the first meeting of the class as Seniors in October, 1944, Dick Ulian was elected to lead the class through its final year, assisted by Dufresne, D. Stewart, Dunlevy, and Butler. .lohn Blossom was chosen to take Don Simon's place on the Mon- itorial Board after Don was drafted into the Navy. The faculty had appointed Terry McSweeney as Head Monitor at the close of the preceding year. Starting the social hall rolling for the year was the first of the Senior activities, the Senior Hop, held in the Megaron on the evening after the Cush- ing game. The Monitorial Board acted as the dance committee and obtained Harry Elner's or- chestra to provide the music for a completely sue- I?6SSfll.l dance. In December, Butler, K. Campbell, Dunlevy, and Thomas were installed as Monitors, completing the board. January 20th was a date which marked the climax of the activities of the year in the heart of many a W. A. student. On this evening was held the Sen- ior Prom, a complete success because of the un- tiring efforts of Frank Dufresne and his committee of Abeles, Erickson, Harney, Palefsky, McSweeney. and Jacobsen. The couples danced under a green and yellow canopy to the smooth rhythms of Morty Gould and his orchestra. Sixteen members of the class departed from their friends and classmates on January 27th, when the second mid-year graduation in the history of the school took place. Bernard Ruskin and Jay Kap- lan delivered the Valedictory and Salutatory addresses. May 26th brought the Senior Banquet, the final social event of the year. With several guest speak- ers on the program, the banquet was enjoyed by all, President Ulian doing an excellent job pre- siding. During its four years at Worcester Academy, the Class of '45 has achieved honor for itself in many fields. Members of the class have participated on the diamond, field, and track, helping to add more undefeated teams to the long list of which the school is proud. Many have consistently placed on the scholastic honor roll. Doubtless the great majority of the class will serve in the armed forces of their country, taking with them many happy and never-to-be-forgotten memories of their days at Worcester Academy. We feel certain that whether on the battlefield or at home the members of the Class of '45 will uphold their outstanding school record. and continue to 'LAchieve the Hon- orablef' MR. HARVEY P.

'f .John- won enior Prom Prom, held at On January 24th came the long-awai that time because of the mid-year graduation. After a week of untiring effort by Frank Dufresne's committee and the Junior ushers, the Megaron was very festively bedecked with a canopy of green and yellow streamers radiating from an intricate center design featuring the flags of the United Nations. At the far end of the room was a large flower arrangement of white carnations forming a '45 against an impressive green background. As each young guest entered, she was presented with an inscribed silver barette. Morty Gould and his orchestra provided the music, a choice that was most enthusiastically received by the forty couples who attended. The patronesses were Mrs. Campbell, Mrs. Daniels, Mrs. Dufresne, Mrs. Mcsweeney, Mrs. Ulian, and Mrs. Rader. The low lights and soft music helped to make the four short hours pass in the twinkling of an eye, and on the stroke of twelve the guests departed with the strains of Fair ' ' ' s.

They are Aronson, Bailey, Breed, Carlson, Ayres, King, McKinley, Metcalfe, Shenk- man, Skaff, and Wickstrom. During the Freshman year the activities of the class were climaxed by a joint Freshman- Sophomore party held at Abercrombie House. ln September, 1943, the total membership of the class was brought to forty-two. With Tuller, Aronson, King, and Baker as class officers, the Sophomore year got olf to a flying start. Another Freshman-Sophomore fling was enjoyed, and highlighting the year was the tremen- dously successful Sophomore Hop. In 1944, with a total of forty-seven members, the class began their Junior year under the leadership of Trowbridge, Ayres, Aronson, King, and A. Harvey, with Mr. Barthelman con- tinuing as a very efficient class advisor. After much planning one of the biggest social events of the school year came olf on April 14th, when the Junior Prom was held in the lavishly decorated Megaron. Over fifty couples danced to the melodious strains of Dol Brissette and his orchestra. Full credit must be given the committee of C. Johnson, Skalf, Bailey, A, Harvey, and Kennedy for making this year's Junior Prom one of the most successful in many years. The whole class expectantly looks forward to their last and most eventful year at W. A. Ulassof 46 Fin! Row, lzft to right: Breed, Fox, Kennedy, A. Harvey, Ayres, Trowbridge. King.

Founded in 1834 and organized as a science club in 1933, Lego has had a very active and prosperous year. Several lectures by outside speakers were given. as well as scientific talks by the faculty advisors. Mr. Avis took the members on a tour of Memorial Hospital, which proved very interesting for the more medically minded boys. ln November a well-attended barn dance was held in the old gym. which had been decorated in truly rustic fashion. Another informal dance for the members was held in the Megaron in March. and a picnic at Doc Avis's camp finished a very successful year. MATHEfIAl UCIETY OFFICERS President: Anthony D.

Organized . installed in the cellar of North Dexter, the club has steadily grown in membership, and the range is open three or four afternoons a week for the use of the members. The club is a member of the National Rifle Association and annually competes in the postal matches sponsored by that organizataion. Fortunately, the club's activi- ties have not been seriously hampered by the ammunition shortageg but the members longingly await the day when more rifles and equipment can be purchased. This year a match has also been organized among the club members, the winner's name to be inscribed on a cup owned six years ago when a well-equipped range was by the club. Farr Worcester AIR-HF AIR IIARVARD' Fair Worcester enthroned on the hills in thy pride With the city-domes gleaming belowg A gem on the robe of a beautiful bride, Ur a crown on a beautiful brow. Thy children return to thy favorite halls With more joy than the home-flying doveg Their hearts bear 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 throngg From thy chalice we qualfed 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. 0 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.

Chapman I The 1944 football team will be remembered in the annals of Worcester Academy for its bang-up undefeated season, consisting of four victories and one tie. Opening at Shrewsbury, the Hilltoppers were deadlocked 7-7 by the stubborn opposition of the Colonials. Shrewsbury scored first after recovering a Worcester fumble. However. with Captain Terry McSweeney and Art Fox leading. the Worcester aggregation soon tied the score after a 25-yard drive. The following week W. A. trampled over Lawrence 34-0. with Charlie Butler, McSweeney. Bob Stewart, and Bud Clarke scoring. The next opponent, Dean Academy, was closely downed 7-6. After Art Fox carried the ball 51 yards for the winning goal, Kleber Campbell made the all-important conversion. In the last quarter Dean unleashed a well-planned aerial attack that produced one touchdown. The day was saved. however, through the efforts of fast-charging Dick Kennedy when he blocked the Dean conversion attempt. The highlight of the season came on November 4, when the traditional Cushing game was played at Gaskill Field. Art Fox again starred by racing 60 yards to pay dirt. In the last few moments of play Cushing intercepted a lateral and reached Worcester's 14-yard lineg but the dogged home team held, and the game ended with Worcester ahead 7-0. The Hilltoppers finished the season on November 11, when they sank a weak Admiral Billard Academy team 32-0. No account of the 1944 team would be complete without paying tribute to Captain Mc- Sweeney and Art Fox, who were the mainstays of the backfield, and Jerry Dunlevy and Don Clarke, who backboned the line. Coach Favulli can justly be proud of his team's excellent record. Captain: xlilllllill Aguirre Coach: Wir. Perry W'aterlield .llanagvrr ' .. 1 Paul 1 The 19-14 edition of the W0l'4'0bl0f Academy soccer team was the most successful 'i 1929. for it finished the season undefeated in six games.

The two games with Monson provided the Hilltoppers with their toughest opposition. On the team were four of our Latin-American neighbors Aguirre, Mitrani. and two Posada hrothers, Ignacio and Gustavo. Aguirre was without douht one of the best soccer playcrs seen at Worm'ester in many years. He scored 19 of the ICRIIIIQS goals, and his tricky hall handling amazed and hefuddled the opponents all season. Mitrani, captain-elect of the 1945 team. was our star defensive player. being expertly hacked up in the goa1 by Bob Madden. Standouts on the lille were John Blossom. Mcgherry, and Greg Stewart. An unlimited amount of credit must go to Coach Waterfield, who did an excellent job in weldi fine team. ng together such a 001101 firm! Ruiz: lffl In nzghl: fi, Posada, l'enusta-in C1 ' X1tSl:crry.

Campbell III Under the able direction of Coach Mike Favulli, the 1945 basketball team completed a successful season with eight victories in twelve starts. Starting slowly, the cagers quickly developed into a high-scoring outfit that averaged 45 points per game. After losing two of its first three games to the Navy-studded Worcester Tech J. V.'s, the Red and Black caught Huntington. Monson, and Cushing on the rebound before yielding to an exceptionally good Andover five. Following a romp over Lawrence, the Hilltoppers lost a free-scoring game to a heavy Dean team in the latter's unfamiliar gym. For the rest of the season no one came close to heating the hoopmen as they ran roughshod over their remaining four opponents. During this last period, the team reached its peak in its final game with Cushing. Scoring at the rate of a basket a minute, the W. A. basketeers completely outclassed their ancient rivals by smart offensive and defensive floorplay, and made a clean sweep of the two-game series, avenging Cushing's double victory last year. Among the chief factors in the team's success were Captain Frank Dufresne, Don Clarke, Captain-elect Deen Rowe, and Art Fox. Dufresne and Clarke played very fine defensive ball. while the latter pair were the mainstays of the offense. Rowe maintained an average of better than 12 points per game, and Fox sank 10 per game. Other members figuring in the team's achievements were Charlie Clarke, Murphy, Dunlevy, K. Campbell, Mcsweeney, Thomas, and Danekind. With four varsity holdovers, next year's team should continue to enjoy the success of the 1945 array. lla kethall .l.V. Curwh: Hr. Gvorgc- l.

His twentieth year in fencing and his tenth year as fencing coach at Worcester proved to be an outstanding one, for the Academy swordsmen defeated the West Point Plebes, who were barely able to tie the team last year. The members of the winning team were Captain King, Crawford, and Spaulding in foilg Rourke, Ayres, and lVlacGilvra in epeeg and Kennedy, Coodale, and Aheles in sabre. Because of war-time transportation difficulties, only a few matches were possible. However, on January 27th the team met Admiral Billard Academy, and began its undefeated campaign by easily winning the match 20-7. The following week the team travelled to West Point to take on the Plebes. Determined to avenge last year's tie, the visitors began hy taking both the foil and epee events 5-43 but victory was not secure until the Worcester sabre team had won 6-3, thus completing the 16-ll triumph. Again on March 3rd the W. A. fencers encountered Admiral Billard Academy in Connecti- cut and finished the season by beating them 19-8. Q Captain: G. Willard King Coach: Mr. Frederick R.

The swimmers' first meet was with Ionic Boys' Club, who came out the victors by two points in a heartbreaker. Captain Don Stewart and .ludge both placed first in their races. Gardner High, the next foe encountered, proved too powerful for the Worcester swimmers. The Gardnermen copped first and second places in every event except the 200-yard relay, in which the Academy relay team of Judge, LaBranche, Aronson, and Breed prevented them from making a clean sweep. ' With a more experienced and better pre- pared team, Coach Friberg may look for- ward to greater success next season. Firyt Row. left In right: A. llarvey. Breed, D, Stewart. Conn, Lilian, Smith.

Dual meets have been scheduled with Gardner and Spencer High Schools and with Moses Brown. The team will also compete in the New England Preparatory School meet at Andover. As the TOWERS goes to press, we feel sure that the team will win honors in every competition. ack Ba ehalli Captain: Kleber A. Campbell, lll Manager: Louis ,l. Rose Coach: llr. llichael Favulli On the first day of practice. Coach Favulli was greeted by at host ol' thirty-four candidates. Among them were seven lettermen returning from last year's team: Bagley, K. Campbell, Cipriani, Dufresne, Kennedy, Mcsweeney, and Spaunburgh. After one week of concentrated practice. the squad was cut. and uniforms were issued to twenty-one players. The season opened with a six-inning prat-tive game with Classical High School. Lee Hood and Pres Bagley both pitched well, and the Academy batters romped over the opposition. The rest of the team consisted of Dufresne, catcherg K. Campbell, firstg Cipriani, secondg McSweeney. shortg Kennedy, thirdg and D. Clarke. Murphy, and Aronson, outfield. Two days later the Red and Black came from behind to nose out St. ,lohn's in another practice tilt.

Abbott, Nlayo, Lamar, Nlanager Wlth thoughts of the crushing defeats received by last year's very inexperienced squad, the 1945 team hopes to avenge these losses and come through the season in a fashion more typical of Worcester Academy teams. Last year's returning lettermen include Captain Carlstrom, Doug Wilson, Carl Chapman, Ray Goodale, Gene Crowley, Al Goldberg, and Bruce Crawford. The team is much heavier and more experienced this year, and there are many promising newcomers on the squad. This year's schedule proves to he a gruelling one, for the team is to play three games in nine days. On April 28 the first game of a home-and-home series is to he played at Gaskill Field with Lawrence. The following Wednesday the squad travels to Andover to play their J. V. team. On May 5 the Hilltoppers again take to the road to play Lawrence. Following a week's rest, the squad is to play Governor Dummer Academy away. A game with Deerfieldis J. V. team on May ll at home completes the schedule. Captain: Victor M. Carlstrom Coach: Mr. Frederick R. Avis 4ssistant Coaches: Mr. Frank F. Friherg, Mr. George I. Kalil L a U ID 0 S S M anage. .
