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 throng, From thy chalice we guatfed 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 crowned day's busy hours, No friends like the friends of our boyhood have been And no mern'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. board of trustees . ..

We of the TOWERS staff feel that our l953 yearbook contains something of ourselves. Long hours of effort and toil have gone into its production, and we endeavored to contribute our best skills to our senior project. The business staff deserves special recognition on the achievement of their goal. ln this increasingly price- conscious world their simple, effi- cient solicitation was highly appre- ciated. Through their endeavors we have been able to produce a quality yearbook. We express special gratitude to Mr. Russell C. Knight and Mr. John R, Bushong. Mr. Knight of the Stobbs Press, Inc., injected his stabilizing in- fluence and contributed greatly to the format and artistic motif. Mr. Bushong of the Bushong Studios was indispensable with his creative pho- tography and his thorough work as class photographer. We owe the largest portion of our thanks to Mr. Robert D. Metcalf, the Towers faculty advisor. His con- stantly helpful guidance was the spark that ignited interest in our yearbook. His years of journalistic experience were of unappraisable value in our work. In conclusion, we sincerely hope you like our yearbook. We wish it to occupy a venerated place on your library shelf.

On the evening of December l3, l952, Eta Kappa Alpha, the dramatic club of Worcester Academy, returned to the custom of presenting a three-act play at the conclusion of the fall term. Mr. Laurence J. Smith, the faculty ad- visor and director, had chosen Oliver Gold- smith's She Stoops to Conquer, and it proved to be a very colorful production. John Weston was the bumptious Tony Lump- kin. Lorna Wahlstrom, Harvey Levin, Marilyn Maykel, and Barry Walker were involved in a love quadrangle. Norman Goldman, Betteiane Bockoven and Leonard Silverman portrayed the possessive parents, Robert Linney and Mary Rader were humorous servants. The dramatic clubs presentation of Rest As- sured on March 21 will long be remembered as a hilarious performance. Harvey Levin and Norman Goldman in the stellar roles of the feuding fathers displayed rare gifts of comedy, while Jan Hardy and Barry Walker were close seconds in garnering the laughs. Sue St. Pierre was excellent in the sympathetic role of the mother, and she was ably supported by Leonard Silverman, Dorothy Cotton, and Ronald Sift as beings from another world. James Burns and Lorna Wahlstrom supplied a gen- uine heart interest. Virginia Rice, Robert Nab- han, John Weston, Bradford Luckingham, Don- ald Fisher, and David Hale contributed fine character vignettes. Credit must also be given for the strenuous back stage work of Mr. Smith, Andrew Farrisey, Robert Glass, Ellery Royal, and Herbert Collins. IDA Ll3I'IA ii - fx QL... CO!..L . This years Glee Club was an exceptionally good one, featuring an Octette. This latter group also per- formed on its own at various gatherings, such as the Worcester County Alumni festivities in the Megaron on December second. The Club as a whole made its first appearance ot the year on December thirteenth at the term dinner. They presented four numbers, including the lively 'iSet Down, Servant ana, in contrast, Fred Waring's ar- rangement of You'Il Never Walk Alone, Conrad Iohnson and Robert Bates did commendable jobs as soloists. The next afternoon found the Glee Club singing in the Annual Christmas Carol Concert in Warner Memorial Theater. The highlight of the season was on izebruary fourteenth when the Glee Clubs of Worcester Academy and the Bancroft School combined forces to give one of the most finished concerts heard on the Warner stage in years. Members of both clubs also gave a preview of next year's operetta, Gilbert and Sullivan's The Gondoliersf' Much credit is due to Mr. Fogg and Miss Ries, who spent many hours in preparation for the concert and directed the clubs with great precision, and to Mrs. Rader and Mrs. Howe for their tireless efforts in accompanying the clubs perfectly through many long rehearsals. Ken Patrick must also be lauded for his pinch-hitting for Mrs. Rader when needed and for his role as accompanist for the Octette. The second term dinner was very successful and enioyed by all. The Club sang two numbers, and the Octette sang two. The Club did a particularly fine job on Yale's Whiffenpoof Song. The Octette dedi- cated a popular arrangement of Dry Bones to Mr. F. Harold Daniels to climax the singing. The Glee Club will conclude a very successful year at the Baccalaureate and Commencement exercises. They will sing several selections, including Gounods beautiful Solitary Lieth the City. First Row. left to right: Mr. Eben Fogg. Peter Burbank. Conrad Iohnson. Peter Morton, William Rabinovitch.

VIGURNIA Owing to the success of the business staff under the management of Lawrence Seder in obtaining ad- vertising, The Vigornia was able to publish a very colorful paper. Richard Talamo, Editor-in-Chief, as- sisted by Richard Friedman, reintroduced o cartoon section. The editor also celebrated The Vigornia's dia- mond anniversary by a more extensive use of photo- graphs. Under the guidance of Mr. Metcalf and Mr. Fogg, the paper made great strides in its improvement. ln coniunction with the Camera Club, a photo con- test was sponsored by the paper this year. The first prize of ten dollars was awarded to Sidney Sobel, the second prize of five dollars was awarded to Bruce Martin, and the third prize of two dollars was also earned by Bruce Martin. The judges were Mr. O'Hara, Mr. Bushong and Mr. Metcalf. The year closed with the customary six-page Com- mencement issue, and The Vigornia continued to be, as always, an asset to the Academy.

This year a large number of boys, who included many beginners, joined the group, which is most ably led by Mr. Peckham. Under his expert instruction, the boys showed much interest and ability, and soon Worcester Academy boasted ot another fine chess squad. Larry Seder, president and number one chess player of the club, and Norman Gold- man, secretary-treasurer, did a fine iob, along with the others, in the first inter-school match of the year with Classical High School. Besides their match with the Worcester Boys' Club, the W.A. Chess Club has met weekly for intra-mural compe- tition. With the fine leadership of Mr. Peckham, it is most certain that this organization will continue to be one of Worcester Academy's most outstanding activities.

The Chips and Slivers Club was founded by the late Mr. Ralph P. Robinson for such purposes as introducing new boys to school lite and entertaining visiting teams. A Chip is the son or brother of an alumnus or a faculty member, and a Sliver is a boy who is related in any other way to an alumnus. This year there are ten Chips and forty-two Slivers. This year's otlicers are: Richard C. Talamo, president, Roger D. Clemence, vice-president, Con- rad P. Johnson, secretary, and Norman H. Goldman, treasurer. On February seventeenth the Club held its annual Father and Son Banquet. The program in- cluded a buffet supper, an illusrated lecture by Edgar Rowe Snow, and a basketball game with Leicester Junior College. First Row. lett to right: Sidney Sobel. Nathan Grace.

Finding conditions rather unfavorable for a darkroom, the club embarked upon a program consisting mainly of lectures and movies. Among the programs prepared by the club, three were most outstanding. Mr. Bushong, the senior class photographer, gave an interesting lecture on lighting effects in portrait photography, illustrating his talk with portable lighting equipment. After winter vacation George Harper showed the motion pictures he took during his extensive travels in Europe with the U.S. Army. Highlighting their activities for the year, the Camera Club in co-operation with The Vigornia, sponsored a photo contest featuring cash prizes. Sixty-two years old this year, Sigma Zeta Kappa, the Worcester Academy debating organization, completed a very active and pro- ductive year. At the first meeting Advisor Dean Blossom gave a large turnout of debating enthusiasts an introduction to parliamentary procedure. On December ll, four members of Sigma Zeta Kappa, Michael Abodeely, Lawrence Murphy, Eugene Hanrahan, and Sid- ney Sobel, engaged in a debate during chapel period. The topic: Resolved that the North Atlantic Treaty Organization Should Form sigma zata kappa a Federal Union, was vigorously pants.

The Rifle Club, under the supervision of Mr. Harold Rader, is indeed unique for reasons A other than those creditable to most clubs. At Worcester, as at other schools, most organ- Q izations receive acclaim for excelling in competition, but this is not' true of the Rifle Club. ln on obscure and ideal corner of North Dexter, this club, which belongs to the National e Rifle Association, gives to its eighteen members the advantage of learning and practicing the proper poise in firing and caring for the rifles the club possesses, The officers of the club are Angelo Scala, President, Ernest Jones, Vice-President, and Ronald Rubler, Secretary and Treasurer.

Expectations at the start of 'the year were high, but the team was playing in the shadow of last year's great club, which had a record of six wins and no losses. The bulk of the credit goes to the coaches. Mr. Favulli and Mr. Schluntz. With- out their able guidance and inspiration the 'team would not have had the spirit and the enviable record that made it outstanding. Emma On October 4th in Providence, Worcester Academy's 1952 football team displayed much spirit and promise, but failed to overcome a definite lack of experience in losing its season's opener to an underrated Brown Frosh Club, 7-0, Brown's only touchdown came in the second period after two successive fifteen- yard penalties that put the ball on our thirty-yard line. The lone tally came on a pass play. The rest of the game was fairly even with Brown getting the breaks when it counted. ln the final period the Crimson and Black drove to the Brown eight-yard line, only to lose the ball on a fumble. We gained a great deal of experience from this game, and the coaches were pleased by the sparkling performances of backfielders Richie Klim and Ioe Mills, who both moved the ball con- sistently. Anyone who saw this game would have said that this team had the spirit and potential to turn in many stellar games throughout the remainder of the season. Jlafzaaacf On October llth the Crimson of Harvard came to Gaskill Field with double intentions of winning this game. The first reason was that they were seeking revenge for last year's defeat at the hands of the Hilltoppers. The second and just as inspiring incentive to win was that the coach of the Harvard Freshmen, Bob Margarita, was sending his club against a team which had for its tailback, Pete Margarita, his brother. The Academy was not up to par because of the loss of an ace linebacker, Leo Smith, who had torn a cartilage in his knee. From the opening kickoff both the fans and players knew that no quar- ter would be asked. and none given. Neither team scored in the first half, but in the opening moments of the final quarter, Harvard connected on a long pass for a forty-yard scoring play. Minutes later. Harvard's su- perior depth showed again. and they scored on a short running play. The game continued without further scor- ing, the final tally being Harvard 13. Worcester Academy 0. Now both fans and players were wondering about the merits of this Worcester Academy team. '71Illan The Crimson and Black team went to Tilton with a burning desire in their hearts. A bit wary of Tilton be- cause of pre-game reports, Worces- ter played cautiously during the first few minutes of the game, but mid- way through the first quarter Richie Klim went back to punt, and, unable to get the ball away, he ran seventy yards for a score. From this point on a happy but small Worcester Academy rooting section saw a tight game turn into a rout. We went on to score five more touchdowns, and the final victory was by a lopsided 38-6 margin. Both the forward wall and the backfield outplayed their opponents man to man. The game was highlighted by several spark- ling runs by Klim. Mills, and Daig- neault, and by the brilliant defensive work of Iim Ronan, Bob Novelli, and Dixie Morrissey. a reserve end. The victory was a well deserved one, and the trip home was made considerably shorter by our initial success of the 1952 campaign. luadfiacfzwieiii On October 25th the Crimson and Black took the field against a strong Massachusetts Freshman team as the decided underdog. From the opening kickoff it was clearly evi- dent that the Hilltoppers were up for this one. Twice in the first quar- ter, Worcester Academy drove with- in the Mass. State ten-yard line, the first time as a result of an electrify- ing interception by Mike Kowalczyk. Finally toward the end of the half, after a sustained drive, Ioe Mills scored from two-yards out on a line buck. At the half it was Worcester Academy 6, Mass. State 0. However, in the third quarter, after a series of penalties, Mass. State succeeded in pushing across a touch- down. They also added the extra point to make the score Mass. State 7, Worcester Academy 5. Through- out the fourth quarter Worcester was stymied by a strong Mass. State de- fense. Then, with four minutes re- maining. Worcester gained posses- sion on their eight-yard line. Then, with Dick Klim sparkling with his running, Worcester Academy moved into Mass. State territory. aided by a long pass to Buffalo Bill Wilson. Finally, behind the astute signal calling of lack Brennan, Klim scored from the four-yard line to send the crowd into delirium. Seconds later, after Mass. State had tried two des- peration passes. the gun sounded to end the game. The final score was 12-7. Outstanding for the Crimson and Black were Co-Captain Mike Tomp- kins, Bob Novelli, Frank Lanza, and Ioe Mills. Re ea On the afternoon of November lst. a travel-weary Worcester Academy team took the field against Rens- selaer Frosh. The team was tired. and the field was lacking in grass and smoothness of contour. How- ever. the first three times we handled the ball we scored. and at the end of the first quarter we were leading by a score of 18-0. Rensselaer was a game team. but they were no match for the big Red's superior depth and coaching. The final score was 52-6. and each of our eight touchdowns was made by a different player. These men. who all played dazzling football through- out the afternoon, were Dan Bova. Fred Santos. Ioe Mills. Dick Klim. Iim Connors. Bob Weiss. Bill Wilson. and Mike Kowalczyk. In the line there was no one standout. The whole line fought and charged hard all afternoon. This served as a good chance to polish up new plays. The Crimson and Black were simply whetting their appetite for the ob- iective game against Dean Acad- emy. lean On Saturday. November 8th, fol- lowing a rally the evening before. a spirited Worcester Academy team took the field against a heavy. ex- perienced and talented Dean squad. Thanks to the rally and a parade. which was held iust prior to the game. the team was fired up and settled down after the opening kick- off for consistent yardage on the ground throughout the first period. Then. twice in the second period. behind the running of Ioe Mills and Dick Klim. Worcester Academy drove within the ten-yard line of Dean but could not score. The half ended with the score. 0-U. However, this was Homecoming Day at Worcester Academy. and Coach Favulli sent the team down from the clubhouse with fire in their hearts and a burning desire to win. The team went right to work. On defense they pushed the Dean club back to its own fifteen-yard line. On fourth down. Brad Lucking- ham broke through on a brilliant play to block a kick. End Bill Wilson picked up the ball and scampered over for the touchdown. Dick Klim rushed for the extra point to make the score. 7-0. Dean came back to score. and the score was 7-6, Wor- cester. In the fourth quarter. on our own thirty-yard line on fourth down. lack Brennan. the quarterback. called for a punt run with Dick Klim carrying the mail all the way to the five-yard line. From there. Ioe Mills scored to wrap the game up. So the team brought home the bacon as predicted. 14-6. 74414 In the season's finale. Worcester Academy took the field against a highly touted Tufts Freshman team. The Tufts squad was small in num- bers. but the players were large and rugged. During most of the first quarter the game looked as if it might be a close one down to the final gun. but suddenly our offense began to click for long gains and our defense wasn't giving up an inch. The game ended with Worces- ter Academy winning 31-U going away. ln the backfield. Ioe Mills and Richie Klim ripped off repeated long gains behind the fine blocking of quarterback lack Brennan. On the defense, Iim Ronan. Bill Wilson, and Bob Novelli played a tremend- ous game in the line. while Frank Lanza and Mike Kowalczyk did a whale of a iob in backing up the line. The way in which this game was played was not only a tribute to the fine coaching we had through- out the year. but was also a dazz- ling climax to a great season.

The experienced Carlos Ceppas and Andy Logan were the only members returning from last year's team. However, many new and eager candidates responded to Coach Morris' first practice session. After two weeks of hard and ex- perimental practicejthe soccer boys were ready for their first game with Monson. The experienced Monson team defeated W. A. by a 2-l mar- gin. Bill Smith scored the lone Wor- cester goal. Captain Carlos Ceppas played a brilliant offensive and de- fensive game. Eager for victory, the W. A. boot- ers were greatly inspired for their next encounter with Nichols Iunior College. W. A. took an early lead because of the scoring of three goals by Ceppas, Andy Logan, and Andy Farrissey. The Nichols team re- sponded with a furious attack and emerged with a 5-3 victory.

Eidt, Brad Crockett, our goalie, and Don McPherson were the defensive standouts. The soccer team now iourneyed to Wilbraham and lost to a highly rated Wilbraham team, 2-U. Andy Logan and Carlos Ceppas played inspired ball for the whole game. Their determined play had a definite effect on the W.A. team. Williston Academy was the next W.A. opponent. The well-organized Williston team emerged with a 3-l victory. Carlos Ceppas scored the only Worcester goal, while Phil Graham, Ron Smith, and Brad Crockett played a good defensive game. The W.A. team emerged victorious in their next game by blanking Cushing, 2-0. San Agustin scored first and Carlos Ceppas followed suit with a nifty goal. The stout W.A. defense, headed by Eidt, Logan, and McPherson, held Cush- ing scoreless. OCCBI' The most exciting game of the year was with Lawrence. Lawrence emerged with a 5-4 victory, only after playing a double overtime. Time after time the W.A. team came from behind to tie the score, thus forcing the game into overtime. Carlos Ceppas scored three goals, and Bud Royal scored one for the W.A. team. The final game of the year was played at Suffield. The Suffield team was eager to win, since that particular day was their homecom- ing day. A highly spirited W.A. team played their best defensive game of the year and held Suffield to a scoreless tie. To single out any particular individual would be diffi- cult, since everyone played a maior role in playing Suffield to a stale- mate. The W.A. soccer team finished the season with a record of one victory, five losses, and one tie. The team played inspired ball at all times and always conducted themselves as good sportsmen. Coach Morris did a good job in welding the team into a well organized unit and deserves a great deal of credit. Coach Barron first assembled the winter track team in the gym on November 30th. Around thirty boys came out. but as the grueling practice progressed. a few quit. The boys practiced on the campus and at Holy Cross' track. The team was rounded into shape by the Christmas re- cess and was ready to go by the third week in Ianuary. The team was young and lacked experi- ence. The first competition was the B.A.A. Indoor Games on Ianuary thirty-first. which featured a prep school relay. Time trials were held, and a team of Wagner. Stubblebine. Graham. and Durant was selected. Silverman and Samia went as alternates. Our boys were lost at the first cor- ner. although anchor man Durant gained on his leg. Moses Brown won. The first dual meet was held on February seventh. The Barron- men. minus runners Durant. Deig- nan. Weiss. and Bragaw. traveled to Exeter. where they were turned back by the novel score of 72-0. A little wiser in track lore. the Hilltoppers met Wilbraham on the latter's track. Durant. Goldman. Levin. Paul Graham, and Power all scored thirds as Worcester lost by the score of 63-5. Steadily improving. the Red and Black lost to the University of Massachusetts at Amherst by the score of 45-13. lack Durant won the thirty-live yard dash and Weiss captured the shot put. On the fourth of March the team hit the road again. this time for Huntington School in Boston. It was a tough meet. for the team was in contention all the way. although Huntington won, 45-27. Weiss won the shot and Ioe Smith took second. Terry tied for first in the high iump. and Durant. Deignan and Paul Collins took seconds in the l000. mile. and 600. respectively. Stub- blebine. Graham and Goldman also scored. Although the team failed to gain a single victory. it accom- plished much.

VARSITY At the outset of the 1952-1953 Worcester Academy basketball sea- son, there was little hope for an extremely successful year. This lack of hope and faith was incited by the fact that one of the most im- portant assets of a top-ranking basketball team, height. except for center Ierry Cofield, was noticeably absent from Coach Edward Schluntz's Hilltop hoopsters. How- ever, as the season progressed game by game, what the team lacked in height, they made up by their aggressiveness, speed, ten- acity, and spirit. Envying Wor- cester's excellent record of the 1951- 1952 season, every team in the cir- cuit was out to defeat this year's squad: but, because of their inspired play, this year's quintet, led by the two able and willing captains, Eddie Eidt and Andy Farrissey. turned a seemingly unpromising season into a successful one by compiling a fine and well-earned 13-3 record. During the campaign all the games were exciting, but only the most outstanding will be mentioned in this article. Opening their season against the 1951-1952 New England Prep School Champions, the Worcester five, skill- fully coached by Mr. Schluntz, de- feated Monson Academy in a fast action tilt. Ierry Cofield scored twenty-five points with Ed Eidt and Walt Donovan having nine and eight points each respectively. The Wor- cester men proved to be superior in both ball handling and shooting. Cofield's dead-eye was errorless: his defensive play was also superb. The first hall was close, but Mon- son's men tired early in the third quarter. As a result of Monson's fatigue, Worcester took advantage of their vulnerability. Walt Dono- van, handicapped with four fouls in the first half, came through brilliant- ly during the last quarter with four quick hoops. As the final bell rang, the Worcester quintet led. 51-47, for a fine victory. On Ianuary 21st, Worcester Acad- emy's basketball team routed An- dover on the latter's court. The Hilltoppers' fast break was very effective against Andover's zone de- fense. The tremendous rebounding and high scoring of Co-Captain Ed Eidt and the speed of the Academy cagers gave them a commanding 78-49 victory. The Worcester Academy basket- ball team defeated Lawrence Acad- emy at Groton, 65-50, on Ianuary 28th. Leading in all periods, the Crimson and Black collected twenty big points in the final canto in regis- tering their fifth victory. All of the starting five hit for double figures but Co-Captain Andy Farrissey led the way with his amazing one- handed push shots, scoring four- teen points. On February fourth, the Hilltoppers defeated Wilbraham, 55-45. In the absence of Ierry Cofield, Bob Pickett took the starring role for Worcester and played his best game of the year. Bob hooped twenty points and was great on rebounds. On St. Valentine's Day, amidst the color and excitement of Cushing's Winter Carnival weekend, the high flying Worcester Academy basket- ballers defeated Cushing Academy, S2-48, before a hybrid audience of Penguin and Worcester Academy rooters. The slick operating Crim- son and Black forces of Coach Schluntz registered their eleventh victory in a sterling and impressive team performance. Ierry Cofield, Andy Farrissey. lim Burns, and Ed Eidt hit for double figures with Ed collecting twenty-one points to be high man for the Hilltoppers in the fray. A few days later. Worcester nosed out Leicester Iunior College by the close score of 58-54. The Schluntz- men finally pulled it out in the last few minutes. The contest was clinched through the efforts of two men, Bob Pickett and lim Burns. With less than two minutes left and Worcester slightly in the lead, Pick- ett made two foul shots and Burns put the game on ice with a driving lay-up. Andy Farrissey was high scorer with seventeen points. At the close of the regular season, Worcester's outstanding team was invited to participate in the New England Prep School Basketball Tournament. On March llth, we met Admiral Billard Academy on a neu- tral floor at Pomfret School. With the help of their fast break and Andy Farrissey' spectacular out- side shooting. Worcester moved into an early lead. Excellent rebounding by Ierry Cofield and some amazing ball-handling by the entire team enabled us to hold that lead throughout the first half. At the out- set ol the third period. the Hill- toppers increased their spread to nine points: but. as play progressed. Admiral Billard began to hit and rapidly closed the gap. Early in the fourth quarter, they gained a lead which they never relinquished. The final score read 64-57. It was a heartbreaker to lose, but the team deserves a great deal of credit for its hard. clean playing and ex- cellent sportsmanship. It would be a most arduous task to depict any single ball player as being the standout star of the en- tire season. The successful season was due. primarily. to team effort. It was a satisfying spectacle to watch the fast and clever Hilltoppers defeating much taller quintets. Whether in a victorious or losing cause. Worcester Academy's basket- eers put on a colorful and stellar performance. VARSITY BASKETBALL - First Row. left Richard Morrissey. Andrew Edward Eidt. Iames Burns. Bradford Crockett.

They also placed fifth in the New England Prep School ranks. On Saturday, Ianuary 17th, the team opened their season away from home with a meet with Mount Hermon. which Worcester won by a score of 41 to 34. Perhaps the pres- ence of the Northfield School for Girls had some effect on the swim- mers. The following Wednesday the team met the M.I.T. Freshmen in our home pool and defeated them soundly by a score of 48 to 27. We took six out of a possible nine first places. lim Connors, Mel Burrows, Dick Canton, Ronnie Smith, Iack Kalaiian. and the Medley Relay cap- tured these firsts. At the Academy pool on the fol- lowing Saturday the team met the Worcester Boys' Clubs and trounced them. The swimmers walked away with every first place in the meet.

On Ianuary 28th. the Academy mermen met Brookline High in our own pool. Again the team won. with Mel Burrows. lack Bush, lack Kalaiian. Ronnie Smith, and lim Connors taking the first places. The final score was 45 to 30. The next meet was with Deerfield Academy. whom the Academy had never beaten previously in any swimming competition. However. the Hilltoppers continued their winning streak and won by a score of 46 to 21. making five straight victories. We took every first place with one exception. Three days later the mermen met and defeated Worcester Iunior Col- lege at the Y.M.C.A. pool. Ronnie Smith took top honors over Bob Leblanc. an old prep school rival. Burrows piled up his sixth win of the season by again taking an easy first place. On Saturday. February 7th, the mermen traveled to Gardner High and won again by a wide margin. Connors. Smith. Kalaiian. Burrows. and Canton took first places. which. along with the seconds and thirds. made the final score 47 to 29. After a week of practice the swim- mers met the powerful West Paw- tucket team and again won to make their record eight and none. The pool record for the 100 backstroke was broken by Bob Plourde of Paw- tucket in a time of l:03.8. The final score was very close. 381!2 to 36lfg. On February llth. the Worcester Mermen outclassed Huntington School in the latter's pool by a score of 50 to 25. The Academy swimmers took eight out of nine first places in this contest. Our final dual meet of the season was with Williston Academy. who gave Worcester their only defeat of the season. The Williston team also broke two records during the fray. Rex Aubrey and Miller broke the records in the 100 freestyle and the 100 breaststroke respectively. Monday. February 16th. the Acad- emy swimmers defeated the favored Holy Cross Varsity Squad. Worces- ter Iunior College. and Worcester Tech Varsity in the annual March of Dimes Benefit Meet at the Y.M. C.A. The Medley Relay team of Mel Burrows, lack Kalaiian, and Iim Connors broke the pool record. Connors. Burrows. and Smith took first places to run up a score of W.A. 40. Holy Cross 38. Worcester Iunior College 19. and Worcester Tech 17. On February 28th. the team trav- eled to Hartford. Conn.. for the Trin- ity Interscholastics at Trinity College. The mermen placed third in this meet behind Williston and Hotchkiss. who placed first and second respectively. Canton. Connors. Kalaiian. Smith. and Burrows took the points in this meet. The next and last meet of the season was the New England Prep School Championship Meet at An- dover Academy. Ronnie Smith placed fourth in the prep school ranks of the diving. Mel Bur- rows placed third in the 100-yard breaststroke behind Don Miller of Williston. who placed first. Dick Canton and the two relays also placed and took enough points to capture fifth place in the meet. The team record is one of which the school may be proud and should be an inspiration to the squads who will follow. Everyone connected with the team can be proud of its record.

Everyone got down to work quickly, but as the TOWERS goes to press, the opening meet is a week away. Coach Barron is counting on Captain Iack Durant for ' the hundred-yard dash, the one hundred and twenty high hurdles, the two-twenty lows, and the broad iump. Fred Terry will high jump, and Bob Goettlich will throw the iavelin. Lou Bragaw, Cal Carr, and Paul Deignan will handle the distances, as will Don Wagner the four- forty. Monty Warman will assist Durant in the hurdles. Novelli, Luckingham. Cosio, and Skatl have also looked good in early practices. VARSITY BASEBALL As the TOWERS goes to press, the W.A. nine has not started its sea- son. The team has ben hampered by rain and cold weather, but Coach Schluntz has done a fine iob in preparing lor a tough twelve- game schedule. The pitching staff will be led by George Harper and Lefty Ioseph. Bob Weiss and Ioe Smith will handle the catching duties. The infield will be chosen from Ace Brennan, Iack Daig- neault, Andy Farrissey, Walt Dono- van, and Captain Eddie Eidt. the only letterman from last year's nine. Pete Margarita, Mickey Kowalczyk, Dave Iordan, and Clyde Kittredge are the leading outfield candidates. The team is well-balanced, and it should have a very successful sea- son.

After a fierce battle with the elements to secure some decent playing weather, the 1953 edition of Worcester Academy varsity tennis finally got under way on the Gaskill Field courts. Mr. William Billy Power, of the Worcester Tennis Club, new coach of the netmen, expertly put all the can- didates through their paces until he had selected those who comprised the team which, as we go to press, has yet to go into its first match. Billy Novak, crack number one man, is followed by Captain Carlos Ceppas in the number two position. Third place is capably manned by Larry Seder. With this array of players, supported by several other fine competitors, and with the excellent coaching of Billy Power, the 1953 tennis team at Worcester Academy should provide some very stiff opposition for such scheduled tennis luminaries as St. Mark's, Andover, and Brown Freshmen.

This spring, Worcester Academy can expect a winning season from its golf team, under the very able direction of Coach Clifford Littlefield. Returning from last year's squad are Captain Roger Clemence, city champ Bob Rappel, long-hitting Brad Crockett, and fiery Andy Logan. Assured of a spot on the team is pre-freshman Iimmy Dolan. Great promise in early matches has also been shown by Bill Belanger, Chet llfantozzi, Iim Burns, Milt Frem, and veterans Dewey Clason and Ierry ones.
