Editor's Note

II1F31

Well, it looks like this yearbook is just about finished. It's been a lot of work,starting last June with the Spring Supplement. Now I know what you're thinking, any idiot could make a yearbook.

Well, it was tough for me,so SHUT UP! In close to 300 pages I have I tried to capture a year of inspirational teachers, hardworking students, successful athletics and drama productions, and the nuttiest senior class the school has witnessed in a while. I hope years from now,the members of the Class of 2000 can look through this book and not only remember those faces from the past, but all the good times we have shared,from skits in Chapel to the crazy football games to the Route 2 incident.

I'd like to thank all the people who helped make this happen. In particular, I'd like to give a shout out to John McAlpin for his hours of dedication and for always changing the word "beer" to "b" so as to insure a yearbook that is appropriate for the whole family. Also, I would like to thank Arnie Lohman for his supervision and help and all those who contributed photos, particularly Harold Prenatt.

Lastly, I would like to thank David Pattison. Yeah you, you big lug!

While David did not contribute directly to the yearbook, he has been a source of inspiration to the entire staff. So, David and the Class of 2000,I present to you the Belmont Hill School Sundial.

Mr. Ambielli

From the moment you step into Mr. Ambielli's class room, you notice there is something different about him. Mr. Ambielli's enthusiasm and youthful energy make him the most approachable adult on campus. Mr. Ambielli is rarely seen without hordes of excited students crowded aroun him, whether they are I.P.S. students on the way to blow something up or / members of the Military Technology Club, also, on their way to blow something up. It is clear that Mr. Ambielli loves the Sciences. He always enjoys the work done in class, happily claiming,"Taster's choice?"

Because Mr. Ambielli cares so much about what he teaches, his students care about what they learn. If you were to ask Mr. Ambielli the best part of his job, chances are he would respond, the students. Mr. Ambielli is always willing to help a kid,in the classroom, on the soccer field, squash court, or tennis court, or in any other situation. When his Physics class has pizza parties on Friday afternoons, Mr. Ambielli spends time talking to each of his students about their lives. Mr. Ambielli, simply put, has the two characteristics of an incredible teacher: a genuine love for his subject and a genuine love for the kids. We salute you, Mr. Ambielli!

Mr. Martellini

Few teachers have as great of an effect on Belmont Hill School's daily life as Mr. Martellini does. Perhaps this is because he never leaves the place.

First thing in the morning, Mr. Martellini and his son, Marco,are in the Dining Room,having breakfast and talking with kids. By the end of the day, you can find Mr. Martellini helping boarders with their homework. In between this time, Mr. Martellini teaches Math,coaches Varsity Basketball, i and makes himself constantly available to his students. In the classroom and on the courts, Mr. Martellini strives to fulfill the ideals of Belmont Hill.

He appeals to students both as a role model and as a friend. Clearly, Mr. Martellini would not dedicate so much of his time and energy to the young men of Belmont Hill if he did not care greatly about each student he deals with. In return, students care deeply for him. Mr. Martellini is understanding and easy to talk to. Mr. Martellini has a sharp intellect and a talent for engaging students in Math. Furthermore, Mr. Martellini has a good sense of humor,starting every new Math topic by announcing, "Okay,big dummies..." The senoir class would like to co-dedicate the 2000 Sundial to Mr. Martellini in recognition of all his efforts.

Headmaster's Message

It is my great pleasure to welcome you to the millennial edition ofthe Belmont Hill School yearbook. The school you see depicted in these pages has a proud history of seventy-six years. Even in that time, relatively brief for New England schools, Belmont Hill has established powerful and enduring traditions. Like their forbearers back to the 1930s, this year's Sixth Form has studied Latin, attended chapel, carved panels, sat down together for meals with faculty. This "happy band" of seventy-seven Sixth Formers has also maintained the School's traditions of excellence in the classroom, on the athletic fields and on the stage.

At the same time, these boys leave a school that has changed in important ways over their six years. Physical changes certainly abound. The Hamilton Chapel has been enlarged and modernized — gracefully; the Science Center has been doubled in sized, its space changed — indeed improved — beyond recognition. Students have at their disposal vastly more computers than the boys who entered the School in the fall of 1994. Although the Class of2000 will not be able to enjoy its use except as alumni, the Jordan Athletic Center is transforming the sports facilities ofthe school.

Program too has changed. The introduction of Mandarin Chinese and Greek, senior projects, the expansion of our off-campus learning alternatives...all of this has come as these boys have spent their years here.

Thus the Class of2000 has seen a school both constant and changing. I hope in these pages you capture a sense of all this, but even more importantly, a sense ofthe vibrancy and spirit of this place. For those who walk its grounds, that spirit is palpable. Best wishes to the Class of 2000, and may all who read the pages of this yearbook feel ever more bound to this special place.

Youth is like having a big plate of candy. Sentimentalists think they want to be in the pure, simple state they were in before they ate the candy. They don't. They just want the fun of eating it all over again. The matron doesn't want to repeat her girlhood - she wants to repeat her honeymoon. I don't want to repeat my innocence. I want the pleasure of losing it again.

-F. Scott Fitzgerald.

The destination, the place toward which my life is tending, is the journey itselfand not the final stopping place.

Andrew Coughlan Killian Varsity Soccer,2nd Team All League Varsity Hockey Varsity Baseball SAAD,Peer Tutor "It is not the critic who counts, nor the person who points out how the strong person stumbled or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the person who is actually in the arena; whose face is actually marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes short again and again, who knows great enthusiasm and great devotions, whose life is spent in a worthy cause; who,at best, knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and at worst,if failure wins out, it at least wins with greatness,so that this person's place shall never be with those timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat."

In Memory of Sean Mead

Reflections on Ah-Ummm After his Departure to Canterbury School: "Sean Mead was a good guy. He never robbed, burned, pillaged. As far as I can remember,I never saw him spit on a baby or push an old woman's wheel chair over. Yes sir, Sean Mead was indeed a good guy."

-Mr. Goodband "Ocassionally there comes a man who greatly affects all those he meets. Slater Cram was one of those people. Wait, who did you say this page was in memory of?"

-Mr. Melvoin "I hate him!'

-Sean Mead "Sean Mead taught me to love a woman and scold a child."

-Mr. Prenatt "One time Mead and I were playing Blitz and...Forget this, I'm gonna go play Blitz.

Come on, Westy!"

-Andrew Zook "I'll never forget his voice. It was so soft and soothing. Sometimes he'd just hold me and tell me everything was going to be all right. In early Spring we'd bring a blanket outside and Ah-Umm would bring out his acoustic guitar and sing "This Land is Your Land,This Land is my Land" to me. He knew all the constellations and we'd look for Orion together. I'm sorry, do you have a tissue?"

-Mr. Bradley

Mahendren Subramaniam I would like to thank first and foremost, my parents for all the love and support you have given me throughout these long and rough years. Without you,I am nothing. To Mr. Brownell, Montoya, Sweeney, and McAlpin: You are the reasons I may become a teacher(May the Lord save us all). Mr. Gallagher, although I had the honor to be your student, I was certainly priviliged to know you.

We may not see eye to eye on certain subjects, but I have so much respect for you.

You stand for what you believe, and there is nothing more admirable than that.

Mr. Goodband you are as sweet as "sugah" and are the only man I know that can deliver the worse news with the kindest smirk. That smirk will be missed. Mr. Kirby and Mr. Fleming, thank you for everything you have taught me and how to be a competitor.

To my friends, I love you dawgs for life. Franklin the best of luck to you. Keep in touch or I will run my foot up yl booty. Jeb and Sammy G I know I always say to you guys that you are just my acquaintances. You have been grossly misinformed.

You are friends that I have been blessed with and will never forget.

Mendy you take care of Kim for me or else I'll have to do so myself alright. You take care lir man.

Killian I will not touch you. Stop asking me. Kurt thank you for always staying over and helping me clean up after or of my small "get togethers". Jamie the best of luck to you. Ed I love you man,take care. Colin A I love you and your sister, mmmmmm Taylor Allen, Boyle you my elf for life, mmmmmmmm Colin Boyle.

Lee and Steve, you will never know how much I appreciate you guys. Chip, Daiske, Morone, Micozzi, Fatty E,Ed's click, Ryan, Morrell(He's scared of me), Casey,Zook, Al Smith, Frashure; I may have or may not ham been friends with you guys, but you were all good to me and I appreciate it. Good luck and ESCUCHAN! To anyone I left out, my bad. To those that wronged me,to hell with you. To the friends I once had but lost along the way,I'm sorry. I'll take with me the good memories.

I got no pics of my boys becuz I make em all look too ugly, and ctiz I have no real friends.

"I'm a peaceful man,and a sexy man"

Too Sexy!!!!

I love you GooBag. My cousin 4ever <3 "you got any change?""who likes to tase? Mook likes to taste."

"I wrote a song about it, like ta hear it hear it up""You can call me Dirty and then lift up yo...""Yeeees, Cuban B" "You must have some special mangina""y u ungrateful he-b!tch""Franklin you so husky...and supple, did I mention husky?"

To all those I care about, may you reach all your goals. Ed, Kamie, Franklin, Lee, and Steve, without u guys I would have been nothing, I love you chumps. You have taught me so much about myself. My only regret with knowing you and how good you a truly are, is that I have to lose you in the future. "peace to the gods and the earfs, na mean."

Accomplishments: Varsity Football IV, V. VI. ISL Champs '98,'99 Varsity Wrestling IV, V. Diversity Comm. V. VI. Thank You: I would like to extend the deepest gratitude to all the teachers who worked with me,especially: Messrs. Greene, Martellini,Gallagher,Bradley,Fleming,Montoya,Stewart, Goodband, Bertelsen, Ambielli, Doc Fast and Doc Voc. Without the guidance and support you gave me I wouldn't have made it.

Mom & Dad: Even though I may not always show it, I want to say that I appreciate everything you've done for me. Without you showing me the way I would not be where I am today. I love you.

Good Luck: DeJuan, Clarence, Kurt, Max,Sam S., Gavin, Arthur, Pat H., P.J., Eric S., Mike S., Jason R., Bobby D., Reggie, Dozie, Mike D., and anyone I may have forgotten about. If I went through and came out on top, I know that each and everyone of you can do the same. DeJuan and Clarence stick together and depend on each other, that's the way to survive. Kurt good luck next year in football, you know what you have to do.

Vovo: Even though I lost you physically, you are still remembered within. You showed me the way and how to survive, and I must now follow in your footsteps.

We Wear The Mask We wear the mask that grins and lies, It hides our cheeks and shades our eyes,This debt we pay to human guile; With torn and bleeding hearts we smile, And mouth with myraid subtleties.

I look up to you and have not led me astray. I want to thank you for being a friend as well as a sister. I love you and hope that you accomplish everything you want to in life.

Lanaii, Laticia, and Miguel: Twins even though I may make fun of you, I want to say I love you and would do anythingfor you.

Miguel you can always depend on me and I want you to be a better person than me, so stay out of trouble. I love all three of you and hope to see you move on to bigger and better things.

Arthur Francisco Tolentino, Sr. (1926-1996)

Why should the world be over-wise, In counting all our tears and sighs?

Nay,let them only see us, while We wear the mask.

We smile,but,0great Christ,our cries To thee from tortured souls arise.

We sing, but oh the clay is vile Beneath our feet, and long the mile: But let the world dream otherwise, We wear the mask.

-Paul Laurence Dunbar

Class Story(well,sort of)

by Steve Vallarelli and then Justin Kir-axle after Val gave up

She's lump,she's lump,she's lump. She's in my head. She lump,she's lump,she lump. She might be oh,hello. I wasjust sitting here,reminiscing about the good old fashoned bye-gone days. It was a wonderful time of youth,discovery, hope, wonder,and slugs. Yes, we dolled many a slug. Ebb,you are welcome! (I)h, the memories just wash over me,like the crystal clear waters of a cool mountain stream. 'They all come back to me now,and I can't help but feel overwhelmed. This sense of nostalgiajust serves to show how far we've really come,and what a weird trip it's been.

But amidst all this change,one thing has always remained the same:the nuttiness. Yes, we never forgot our nutty roots. Ehh,or maybe we didn't!

The Middle School was an interesting time for our class. T'he alpha males primarily consisted of Marcello,Baker,Sahba,Lush,'Terry,Ccâ&#x20AC;˘nor, Eidenburg,and a young,fair-haired Cinderella story by the name of Steve Vallarelli. We had the hockey group,the smart group,and the intellectually impoverished group of which I was/am a member. The major group on campus at the time was The Nutties, made up of Marcello,Conor, Malloy,Stoney,and Platten. There was also a quite memorable group whose only prerequisite for joining was a penchantfor shadiness and obscurity: The infamous Meaclowbrook Crew.'This group ofrecluses and kleptomaniacs had a stellar lineup offorgettables,such as J.C.Samuels,Chris Ferguson,Rob Eidenburg,Mahendran,and Justin "Denial"I<rane. Yet although our class was strictly divided into several major cliques,the one common thread which wove us together was nuttiness.

This was the era ofthe extra nutty, and he reigned supreme. We had chalk fights in Mr.Cressey's class, eraser fights in Mr.Wood's class, we left"gifts"in the crawlspace ofHowe,and had brutal'nosh pits wherever there was a spare five feet of space. 'There was the time when we broke down the branch ofthe tree outside ofHowe,or knocked over and nearly destroyed a certain "history"teacher's desk. I remember our class trips to New York and D.C.,and all the chaos that ensued. Do you recall the 60-man pillow fight,the visit to 42nd St., Mr.Cressey setting the official land speed record,Uncle Jesse,or thatfight between those two homeless guys on the sidewalk? I know I do. Memorable events in D.C.included 'Terry's magazine,Franklin's"accident"in the van with Mr.Cressey,nutties in the U.N.,and everybody getting ripped off by Foakley and Rolek dealers. We also found out the many abilities ofSpeckler,his face and dancing skills. It is also important to note that this was around the time when the notorious"13ough" was born. It may have actually started out as more of a"Shmough",as the latter was shouted repeatedly by Conor and Stoney during the memorable performance ofShectr- Maciriess _ Either way,Marcello has since been commonly referred to as13ough,13ough Kid,or Steele Magnolia by the social elite ofour class. Long story short, we came out ofthe Middle School bumpin'and grindin',leaving a trail ofnervousfaculty behind and an uncertain future ahead. Oh were we boisterous or what? Yeah, we were.

We goin'upper school, we goin'upper school! Finally we arrived to the promised land,a place of sneakers for all, and top buttons for none. In this magicalland, we were also blessed with the wondrous novelty offree blocks. For the majority ofthe class including myself,these were useful times for recreational reading and extra creditresearch projects. After successfully driving Ms.Cote to retirement, we moved onto Goody.'The rarely-attended study hall in the chapel basement still had its outbursts of"Sahba, Sabatoge"and"stroke"butthefreedom which Upper 170

School showed us drove us to new locations ofexploration and growth,the snack bar and library corridor.

We played ring toss with tape rolls, arid made friends with both the lunch room arid rnantainence staff: Sally,Lefty,Tcâ&#x20AC;˘Fo,arid Edmund,Carlos,and Winston,basically anything we could do to not do our work.

Sophomore year: well nothing really happened sophomore year.

Junior year,the year ofthe Skeez. Finally we were seniors,thanks to the sadness ofthe Class of'99. We controled the corridor and the cheering at games,and just after we received these senior privileges we blew them by throwing an octopus on the ice... twice.This, however,couldn'tcompare to the zany shananigans that were to come.

Senior year was our crowning achievement. Five years ofhours,and suspensions were alljustlbuiliding up to what the faculty had dreaded,the Class of2000.

Our undefeated footballteam aroused the emotions of the entire school,as did the alcohol in the parking lot.

-This fan support was shown during weekly sign days and our chapels,both of which had to be stopped due to censorship ofthe Man. We continued our streak of good kids gone bad with a plethora ofsuspensions arid sanctions. We walked into senior year thinking,"there is no way they can get us all in trouble." That was proved wrong,as we actually got the entire school in trouble by forfeiting the Republican Convention.

From chalk fights to octopi(pluralfor octopus), the nuttiness held true. We left our mark on the school. Who would have thought that we could change the Honor Code,cancel the Republican Con-vention,stop traffic on Rt.2,arid make Mr.Melvoin say "Pus,Pus,Pus" and the F word. 13y the way what is carnal knowledge anyway? A teacher was once quoted as saying "the problem will graduate," and we finally did. For better or for worse(probably for worse),no câ&#x20AC;˘ne will ever forget the Class of2000,ehh., I swear it.

THE 1999 FOOTBALL TEAM FINISHED THE MILLENNIUM WITH ONE OF ITS MOST EXCITING and successful performances. Although we lost the New England championship ) to New Hampton,the spirit and enthusiasm ofthe crowd that attended the game m. on November 20th contributed to making it one of the biggest sporting events held at BHS in recent years.

This senior class finished the year with their second ISL championship 4 and an overall record of22 -1-1 during their varsity years at BHS. This accomplishment is due in great part to the leadership, character, strong work ethic and camaraderie demonstrated by the senior class, especially the four captains, John Clifford, Andrew DeMarco, Ben Finnegan, and Brendan McCafferty.

The key games during the season included the opening win agai Belmont Hill had its most successful passing offense in many years with John Clifford throwing fourteen touchdown passes and Kurt Bennett catching 11 touchdown receptions. John was chosen as one of the MVP's of the ISL for his offensive leadership and production.

This team, a reflection ofthe captains, was a talented football group; but more importantly, they manifested the traditions of BHS in terms of sportsmanship, character, and scholarship.

Next year's captains, Scott Aldrich, Kurt Bennett, and Andrew Cleary, have the personality and athletic ability to continue the strong football tradition.

Season Record:8-1

THE 1999 SOCCER TEAM SURPASSED MOST PEOPLE'S EXPECTATIONS considering the youth of the squad. After graduating eight starters, the team was expected to finish in the middle of the standings in the ISL. With great leadership from our captains and a very talented sophomore class, the squad was able to surprise many coaches around the league.

The team finished with a record of 11-3-1, and the season was highlighted by an invitation to the New England Class A Prep School Tournament. The success achieved this year has to be attributed to the complete team effort and commitment the players displayed throughout the season.

The team enjoyed early season success by putting together a seven game winning streak, which provided some wellneeded confidence that carried through the season.

Co-captains Marcello Micozzi and Matt Murphy provided the team with great role models.

The depth of the team was tested several times this year due to some unfortunate injuries. The team's success has to be credited to those players who stepped in and performed magnificently. One of those players was Zach Page who had to take over for Marcello after he went down with a knee injury and was gone for most of the season. Matt Murphy did an outstanding job all season as a utility player in different positions, winning ISL Player of the week honors after scoring two game-winning goals.

The defense finished third in the league by allowing only 10 goals. All-League GK Brian Killian and sweeper Rich Trussell were two steady performers solidifying the defense, and Thayer Hirsh and Matt Drasser did a nice job covering the opposition's best players. The Midfield was lead by Junior Chris Cotter and ISL All-League player P.J. Scheufele. The outside midfield was a key contributor to this year's offense with Senior Kevin Duff, named the team's most improved player, leading the team in assists.

Joe Grause's hard work and heading ability were an inspiration to the team.

With such a young talented group of players, expectations are high for next year. We hope that with some hard work, we will be able to win an ISL title.

Season Record:11 3 1

WITH TWENTY-EIGHT RUNNERS, THIS YEAR'S CROSS-COUNTRY TEAM BEGAN THE season with depth and developing talent. Senior captains Al Smith and Ben Wells led the varsity to the top ranks of the ISL, finishing 2nd out of 14 schools in the Pingree Invitational and 4th out of 16 in the ISL's at Groton.

In the opener at Pingree our first pack of Smith, Wells, and junior Mark Rounds finished 9th, 10th, and 12th respectively setting a pattern that would be repeated throughout the season, with most oftheir finishes within 10 seconds of each other. All three would go on to finish the season as all-league runners in the ISL, each winning an individual medal at the championship.

Another pack of Evan Campisi and Mike Dougherty began to develop as a second formidable powerhouse by mid-season and underclassmen Rob Rose, Chris Henry, Tom Purcell, Alex Orr, James Oliver, Dave Crane and the three Andrews, Parker, Muir, and Ward all helped fill out a large and talented varsity squad.

In varsity dual meets,(7-2 record in ISL competition), we posted convincing victories over Middlesex, in a pre-season scrimmage, St. Sebastian's, GDA,Lawrence, Brooks, BBN,Thayer, and Rivers with our only losses going to St. Paul's by 3 points and Roxbury Latin by 2.

JV also finished with an impressive record (8-1) losing only to RL and beating all other opponents in both dual meets and the ISL championships.

Talented up-and-coming runners like Andrew McCarthy, DeJuan Lewis, Beck Sloman, Kyle Bergeron, Ben Burakoff, Rob Crane, Mehdi Alhassani, and Nikhil Sahni all show promise for the future.

Joining coaches Kirby and Zamore, Tyson Trautz, a record holder in the two-mile while a student at Chevarus High in Maine and a recent graduate of UVM,added his energy and enthusiasm to the team. Mark Rounds will be next year's varsity captain.

Season Record:8-3 4th in ISL

THIS WAS A YOUNG TEAM WITH ONLY SEVEN seniors, and there was always at least one player unable to play in each game. As a coach, I was always creating new lines and pairings on defense.

Chris Casey was the captain and leading scorer.

Senior defensemen Andrew DeMarco and Chris Unger were solid all year, and Andrew was named to the all ISL team. The team lost eight one goal games, but they never gave up. I was impressed with their character and effort. This team was able to play some outstanding games, and my 500th win as a Belmont Hill coach was one ofthem - an 8-0 victory over Nichols School. In that game freshman Ray Ortiz scored a pure hat trick and Jon Wyson played his first game as a forward.The team had a perfect game against Thayer winning 1-0 with Casey scoring the winning goal with only a minute to go in the game. The last game ever played by a Belmont Hill hockey team in the Keller rink was a 3-2 victory over BB&N. Andrew Cleary, Ray Ortiz and Chris Casey all scored in this game. Also, Matt Brogan and Kevin Galvin were outstanding in the goal all year, but especially in this game. John Clifford and Jared Libby did an outstanding job all year as our best defensive forwards. Next year's captains will be Scott Aldrich and Kevin Galvin.

ON FEBRUARY 16, AN ERA ENDED WHEN THE BELMONT HILL WRESTLING TEAM defeated Milton Academy in the final varsity match ever to be held in a room which has both witnessed the growth of Wrestling at Belmont and made an indelible impression on every visitor's memory. It was also a victory which, after an injury plagued season, secured a 3rd place finish in the ISL and inspired us toward a dramatic performance at the Graves Kelsey Tournament.

Last year's very young team returned a little bit older, but our only seniors remained 2 time Captains Doug Tierney and Sam Stonberg. Their superb leadership by word and example have been critical to the success of this program over two challenging rebuilding seasons and they deservedly share this year's Gilbert S. Jordan Trophy for "Greatest Contribution".

Our lineup varied greatly over the course of the season as various strains and sprains occurred and healed and the team owes a tremendous debt to our Athletic Trainer Jerry Foster and his staff for their expert care and rehabilitation. When all were healthy, which did not happen until the very end ofthe season, Ike Stonberg and Andrew Feldmann led the way to a fast start in the lower weights. Indeed,Ike won the Graves as a freshman and Andrew placed second and earned the William "Bingo" Emerson award for "Most Improved". Juniors Mark Rounds and Ben Tse anchored the 119 and 135 pound weight classes and were elected at season's end to captain next year's team. Brendan Conroy at 125 finished the season with key wins against Brooks and St. Paul's and was recognized for his sportsmanship with the Henry B. Sawyer award. Sam Stonberg made it a family affair at the Graves when he also took a first while co-captain Doug Tierney earned a 3rd in the tough 140 pound class. And then it was a sophomore affair with Reggie Gossett at 145, David Mahnken at 152, Andrew Bagnell at 160, Sean Higdon at 171, Clarence Bates at 189, Bob DiMatteo at 215 and Mike Shannon at heavyweight. Max Bahamon, DeJuan Lewis, Mike Darman, Matt Fay, Harley Brown and Ryan McGee all filled in effectively at varsity positions and it was inspiring how often teammates successfully picked up the slack and filled in the gaps.

An injury ridden loss to Governor Dummer early in the season kept us out of contention for first place, but there was no small measure of satisfaction in tying second place Brooks with a lineup still incomplete.

However, by the Graves we were ready and 9 teammates placed as we pinned our way past St. Marks, Brooks and Milton to earn second as a team as well as the David Coe Trophy for the "Most Improved" squad. On Saturday, March 4,Ike Stonberg won the New England Championship at 103 lbs. and joined the proud ranks of Jamie Binnall, 94' and Kayvon Bina, 97' The youth and experience of this team bodes well for next year; our first in one of the finest athletic facilities in New England. Come see us. In closing, I would like to thank my fellow coaches — Dick Hoffman, Chip Tarbell 76' and Mike Zadig as well as Todd Davis and Peter Folan 93' who helped out at important points during the season. I would also like to recognize our Captains' mothers — Dee Stonberg and Jane Tierney — who for two seasons have set the ISL standard for team hospitality. Finally, I offer personal thanks to our Athletic Director Ken Martin who has, in all my years as Varsity Coach, been a good friend to wrestling at Belmont Hill.

-Coach Don Bradley

ENTHUSIASM WAS HIGH FOR THIS YEAR'S BASKETBALL TEAM AS WE SET Out to defend our much-loved home court during its final season. Having qualified for the New England tournament the past three years and with three starters returning from last year's New England semi-finalist team, we were determined to give the gymnasium an appropriate send off. Unfortunately we were unable to produce a win loss record comparable to our recent seasons. It was a frustrating, attimes heart-breaking,season.The team finished with a 14-10 record,ofwhich eight losses occurred in the final two minutes of play.

However, when I think back on the season,I have to say that the qualities of the BHS players easily eclipse the painful losses. There were several times this season after particularly painful defeats,thatI was worried before the following practice about how to build the kids' motivation for the next game. On each occasion, however,the natural optimism and fighting spirit ofthe team put my worries to rest. The players always came to play hard, to learn and to take on personal challenges.

The team was well led by co-captains and returning starters Marcello Micozzi and Matt Murphy,who were strong leaders throughout the season. The starting lineup was rounded out by senior Mike Dougrey, who showed impressive insight on the floor, and defensive specialists juniors Kurt Bennett and Mark Mendoza. Freshman sensation Sean O'Grady provided great fire power on offense, leading the team in scoring, and earning All-League Honors.

Sophomore Jason Riley provided strong backup and additional muscle on the offensive boards. Other key contributors includedjuniors Matt O'Grady,Mike McCarthy,George Spilios,Taylor Davis,and Sophomores Chris Bucci and P.J. Scheufele. Next year's co-captains Mendoza and Bennett will lead a returning team looking to expand their offensive talent while carrying on their effective defense.

This season's ups and downs included injuries at the start of the season to both Murphy and Micozzi, resulting in early losses to Rivers and Nobles by a combined total ofthree points. We were a young team,with ten underclassman, and some inexperience was evident at times,especially at the start ofthe season.

Once the team was healthy, our trademark hard-nosed defense,led by the allout approach of Micozzi, made us a team to be reckoned with. We snatched big victories from Groton,St. Marks and Proctor,all ofwhom went on to qualify for the New England Tournament. A lasting image ofthe season is ofMicozzi time and time again sailing through the air, horizontal to the ground, literally throwing himself after a loose ball and coming up with it.

The thrilling capstone ofthe season was our very big win in the gym-closing season finale against rival Governor Dummer. After falling behind early by 14 points, the team rallied tenaciously behind the play of Murphy and Riley and eventually prevailed in a thrilling overtime. So,even without a entire season of wins, we did succeed in coming up with a wonderful send-offfor the gym and memories that we will be able to look back on with pride.

A special thanks to assistant coaches Erik Bertelson and Oris Bryant whose support and guidance were crucial. Also thanks to Mr. Foster, Mr. Ferguson, Mr. O'Brien and the BHS maintenance stafffor all their help in the gym. Once again thanks to our fans for their support and we look forward to seeing you next year in the Jordan Gymnasium.

AT THE BEGINNING OF OUR SEASON WAY BACK IN NOVEMBER,IT WAS HARD TO SEE HOW THIS YEAR'S TEAM WOULD BE ABLE TO RISE TO THE LEVEL OF LAST YEAR'S GROUP OF OUTSTANDING SKIERS. A LACK OF SKIABLE SNOW DURING THE PRE-SEASON PREVENTED THE COACHING STAFF FROM EVEN BEING ABLE TO EVALUATE SOME OF THE NEW PROSPECTS. THE ANNUAL PRE-CHRISTMAS TRIP TO CRAFTSBURY REVEALED THAT OUR TOP FOUR:EVAN CAMPISI, AL SMITH,CHASE JOHNSON,AND TOMMY MARTIN WOULD PROVIDE ENOUGH TALENT TO KEEP US NEAR THE TOP OF THE SIXTEEN-TEAM PUBLIC SCHOOL LEAGUE WHICH HAS SO GRACIOUSLY ALLOWED US TO SKI IN THEIR MEETS AT WESTON SKI TRACK FOR THE PAST SEVERAL YEARS.IN ADDITION,THERE WERE SIGNS THAT ROBERT ROSE,JEREMY BALBONI,AND PAUL KELLEY WOULD EMERGE ASA SOLID NUCLEUSOFSECOND-TIER SKIERSFOR LATER IN THE SEASON AND FOR NEXT YEAR AS WELL. AS THE SNOWS OF JANUARY MADE THE SKIING SOME OF THE BEST IN RECENT MEMORY,WE SOON FOUND OURSELVES AMONG THE TOP THREE TEAMS EACH WEDNESDAY IN THOSE SIXTEEN -TEAM MEETS AT WESTON ONLY CONCORD CARLISLE(WITH TRANSFER STUDENT SCHUYLER BOYLAN THEIR BEST SKIER (OUR FASTEST SKIER LAST YEAR))AND WAYLAND,PROVED OUT OF OUR REACH ON A REGULAR BASIS. AS THE WEEKS WENT

BY WE WERE ABLE TO AMASS AN IMPRESSIVE RECORD OF 27WINS AND ONLY SIX LOSSES. TOWARD THE END OF THE SEASON AN INTERESTING PHENOMENON BEGAN TO MANIFEST ITSELF. I SPEAK OF THE SUDDEN AND SPECTACULAR SUCCESS OF SECOND FORMER, PETER EVANS. ALL OF A SUDDEN, HE BECAME OUR SIXTH MAN,THEN FIFTH.AND FINALLY OUR FOURTH BEST SKIER,AMAZING NOT ONLY HIS OWN COACHES,BUT ALSO,THE COACHES OF THE OTHER SQUADS WHO FOLLOWED HIS METEORIC RISE TOONE OF THE TOP TEN SKIERS IN THE LEAGUE. AT THE NEW ENGLAND CHAMPIONSHIP RACE,HELD THIS YEAR AT THE HOLDERNESS SCHOOL ON FEBRUARY 23RD,WE FIELDED A TEAM OF MARTIN,CAMPISI,JOHNSON,AND EVANS WHICH FINISHED FIRST IN DIVISION II IN THE MORNING FREESTYLE RACE.THIS WAS A REMARKABLE FEAT IN THAT WE MANAGED TO BEAT THREE OF THE SO-CALLED'SKI ACADEMIES"IN THE PROCESS(KIMBALL UNION,PUTNEY,AND PROCTOR),LOSING ONLY TO GOULD AND HOLDERNESS. IN THE 6K RACE. TOMMY MARTIN FINISHED SEVENTH OUT OF A FIELD OF 97 SKIERS ,BECOMING ONLY THE SECOND BELMONT HILL SKIER TO EARN ALL-NEW ENGLAND STATUS. EVAN CAMPISI FINISHED JUST OUT OF CONTENTION FOR THESE HONORS BY FINISHING A STRONG TWELFTH.CHASE JOHNSON , WHO BROKE A BINDING AND WOULD HAVE FINISHED MUCH HIGHER, CAME IN A STRONG EIGHTEENTH,JUST AHEAD OF ROBERT ROSE IN NINETEENTH PLACE. ALTHOUGH WE DID NOT FARE AS WELL IN THE AFTERNOON CLASSICAL RELAY( A TECHNIQUE WHICH WE CANNOT PRACTICE VERY OFTEN LOCALLY )WE HUNG ON TO A FIRST PLACE FINISH IN OUR DIVISION AND A VERY RESPECTABLE FIFTH OUT OF FIFTEEN TEAMS IF THE SKI ACADEMIES ARE ALSO FACTORED INTO THE MIX. WITH THE RISE OF PETER EVANS AND THE CONTINUING IMPROVEMENT OF CHRIS CAMPISI,PAUL KELLEY, CHRISTIAN VON RICKENBACH, ROBERT ROSE, JEREMY BALBONI, DAN RABB AND MANY OF THE OTHER YOUNGER SKIERS, WE NOW FEEL VERY POSITIVE ABOUT OUR CHANCES TO CONTINUE OUR WINNING WAYS NEXTSEASON - WITH THE HOPE FOR MORE AND EARLIER SNOWS TO PUSH THE TEAM ALONG.MY MANY THANKS GO OUTTOTHIS SEASON'STWO WONDERFUL CAPTAINS,EVAN CAMPISI AND TOMMY MARTIN.THEIR EFFECTIVE LEADERSHIP AND KINDNESS TO THE MEMBERS OF THE TEAM HAVESET WORTHY STANDARDS FOR NEXT YEAR'S CAPTAINS, ROBERT ROSE AND PAUL KELLEY,TO EMULATE.

THE SEASON FOR THE ALPINE SKI TEAM BEGINS WITH DRY LAND TRAINING AT THE END OF November and normally goes for one and a half weeks. This year we had dry land for the entire month ofDecember due to the unusually warm weather. We were unable to ski at all before Christmas. Not until the first day after vacation were we able to go to Nashoba Valley Ski Area and have our try-outs.

We made our selections for new members of the ski team, and those chosen were Kennedy Richardson (2'''' form), Geoff Homer and Jesse Garfinkle (3rd form), and Brendan Koeniger and Andrew McCarthy (5th form). We looked forward to another year with the addition of some strong middle school skiers.

Every Wednesday throughout January and February all eight ISL schools who have ski teams participate in races at Nashoba Valley and a tally is kept throughout the season to determine the overall winner. Both Varsity and Junior Varsity race simultaneously on courses side by side. A total of two hundred racers participate, each taking two runs. In order to count for a team, a racer must complete both runs and the total time is calculated.

Our first race in January was held in less than optimum conditions due to the warm weather, so the skiers took only one run. The Varsity team came in fourth, with only Geoff Homer placing well with an eighth place finish. Our second race was stronger with three skiers finishing in the top fifteen; Geoff Homer,Pat Dowd (a sophomore) and Tin Hangoc(a Senior who was one of the captains this year). During February our team improved tremendously; especially with Chris King moving up from JV and becoming our top finisher for the last three races with places of a 6'h, a 2nd and a 5".. Geoff, Tin, Pat, and Colin Boyle (another Senior) also did well and we moved into first place coming into the last race of the season. We were nine points in front of Thayer. Unfortunately we did not ski the course in this race well, which had soft snow and ruts. We ended in second place, and ended the season only five points out of first place. It was a disappointing race that day, but the overall improvement of the team throughout the season was fantastic. Other Varsity racers included Seniors Ben Wells(the other captain), Lee Navins and Jeff Westcott. Another freshman this year, Robbie Nock, helped the Varsity team a great deal throughout the season.Chris King received All-League status for his race results, and he and Pat Dowd were elected captains for next year.

The Junior Varsity team again won every race and showed some promising skiers for the coming years. Third formers Jesse Garfinkle, Sophomores Karim Nahabet and Will Simmons, plus Juniors Brendan Koeniger and Mark Robinson will all be vying for Varsity positions next year. These five skiers are very close in ability and it will be interesting to see who will fill the vacant spots from graduation this year.

As has been the case for too many years, we once again skied on very limited snow throughout much of the season. But coaching with Holly Martin again has made the winter a very enjoyable one for the team and me. She continues to be a strong leader because of her knowledge ofski racing and her enthusiasm for the team and skiing. We also welcomed Chris Butler on board as a part time coach and look forward to his being more involved with the team next year. We know that next season we will once again compete against a strong Thayer team, but we should have the strength and depth to once again win the League title. For the three of us who are coaches, it continues to be a very rewarding experience to be working with Seniors through Middle Schoolers at the same time and feel great team camaraderie.

I personally would like to thank all of the parents who were our fans and patiently waited at the bottom of the hill, standing in snow, to support their sons and Belmont Hill. Also many thanks to the parents who brought food for the team members after they raced, and those who helped with the scoreboard. All of this helps to make our ISL races run smoothly, and continues to make me proud to be a coach of a Belmont Hill team.

THE VARSITY SQUASH TEAM HAD A CHALLENGING WINTER. BOTH COACHES AND players, stunned by the realization that they would be without the services of the top two players they had counted upon for the season,wentto work to create a team character with a group that returned no seniors and no player higher than #4 from the previous year. It was felt unrealistic to think ofanother I.S.L. title, so a goal of a winning record was quietly suggested.

Our team was also challenged by the constant traveling to find international wide courts now used by virtually all ofour opponents. We are grateful to our athletic department for funding our play at Brandeis and at Healthpoint in Waltham,and especially grateful to Bill Cleary and Harvard for allowing us to practice in the early evening in Cambridge and to Concord Academy for lending us the use oftheir new facility for several Saturday matches. Although play on these wide courts surely helped us compete, we began to feel a bit homeless in the process.

After an undistinguished beginning with losses to St. George's and St. Paul's,the pattern ofthe season began to take shape when we won an exciting match against a strong Tabor team in Marion. Thanks to spirited come from behind play of Todd Basnight and Rob Dunn at the number 3 and 5 positions. we were able to pull out an exciting 4-3 victory. After losses to Groton, Deerfield,Brunswick,Andover and Exeter and easy victories over Portsmouth Abbey, Brooks and St. Mark's and Nobles, the team needed to bear down in both Middlesex matches to even their record at .500. Once again, the team produced two 4-3 victories over Middlesex in perhaps the two most exciting matches ofthe season. Co-captain, Mike Brennan, A.J. Nary and newcomer, Alex Jacquet all had a strong hand in these matches with close nail biting victories. So,the stage was set for the final Match with Milton and the team did not disappoint. Again,Brennan and Jacquet produced wins at#2 and 6. But it was the steady play ofCo-captain Jon Katz and sophomore,Rich Trussell at #1 and #3 that clinched this last match. Victorious in every close match,these two players provided the glue for our overall third place finish in the I.S.L. Both Jon and Rich were voted league all-stars for their strong efforts this season.

At the Intersholastics, Belmont Hill competed well, finishing tenth out of some 35 teams, a spirited and remarkable conclusion for this group of overachievers. Jon Katzfinished in the top six ranked players in New England.

Both he and Mike Brennan took on the challenge ofleadership capably. Both fellow varsity coach John Ambielli and!are optimistic about next season. The top 12 players are returning, we will have our own wide courts, and we will have the achievements of this past season to build upon.

I wish to thank all the parents who followed our team so avidly this season.

They are a fine supportive group. And I especially wish to thank John Ambielli, who has shared the coaching duties with me the past five years. He is a fme mentor to our players and a great friend to me.

MANY THANKS TO THE GREAT TEACHERS,COACHES AND STAFF OF BELMONT HILL SCHOOL

Justin, Your graduation from Belmont Hill is a proud day for all of us who love you so much. You have grown from our little guy who made us laugh with everything you did - from carrying Mickey around with you wherever you went, to memorizing lines from all the movies you saw...You have grown into a wonderful, kindhearted, mature, bright young man. We are so proud of you and all that you have accomplished. Have great fun at college, allow yourself to grow, follow your dreams, continue to challenge yourself, and remember, we'll always be there cheering you on!

The Best of What's Around

By Dave Mathews,from Under the Table and Dreaming Hey my friend It seems your eyes are troubled Care to share your times with me Would you say you're feeling low and so A good idea would be to get it off your mind See, you and me Have a better time than most can dream Have it better than the best And so can pull on through Whatever tears at us Whatever holds us down And if nothing can be done We'll make the best of what's around Turns out not where but who you're with That really matters And hurts not much when you're around If you hold on tight To what you think is your thing You may find you're missing all the rest She runs up into the light surprised Her arms are open Her mind's eye is Seeing things from a Clearer side than most can dream On a better road I feel So you could say she's safe Whatever tears at her Whatever holds her down And if nothing can be done She'll make the best of what's around Turns out not where but what you think That really matters And hurts not much when you're around

Dear Joseph: We can't believe that six years at Belmont Hill have passed so quickly!

We are so proud of you!

Lots of Love, Mom,Dad,John, Alex 244

FAST YOUR DREAMS

Hold fast your dreams!

Within your heart Keep one still, secret spot Where dreams may go, And,sheltered so, May thrive and grow Where doubt and fear are not.

0keep a place apart, Within your heart, For little dreams to go!

Still think of lovely things that are not true.

Let wish and magic work at will in you.

Be sometimes blind to sorrow. Make believe' Forget the calm that lies In dissillusioned eyes.

Though we all know that we must die, Yet you and I May walk like gods and be Even now at home in immortality.

We see so many ugly thingsDeceits and wrongs and quarrelings; We know,alas! we know How quickly fade The color in the west, The bloom upon the flower, The bloom upon the breast And youth's blind hour.

Yet keep within your heart A place apart Where little dreams may go, May thrive and grow.

Hold fast-hold fast your dreams!

Dear Brendan, If you can keep your head when all about you Are losing theirs and blaming it on you; If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you, But can make allowance for their doubting too; If you can wait and not be tired by waiting, Or,being lied about, don't deal in lies, Or,being hated, don't give way to hating, And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise; If you can dream - and not make dreams your master; If you can think - and not make thoughts your aim; If you can meet with triumph and disaster And treat those two imposters just the same; If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools, Or watch the things you gave your life to broken, And stoop and build 'em up with wornout tools; If you make one heap of all your winnings And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss, And lose, and start again at your beginnings And never breath a word about your loss; If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew To serve your turn long after they are gone, And so hold on when there is nothing in you Except the Will which says to them:"Hold on!"; If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue, Or walk with kings - nor lose the common touch; If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you; If all men count with you,but none too much; If you can fill the unforgiving minute With sixty seconds' worth of distance run Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it, And - which is more - you'll be a Man my son!

Love, Mom,Dad and Andrea

To Belmont Hill you went a boy With some unsureness,fear, yet joy.

And now you leave, a fine young man To make your mark, we know you can.

The road was steep and sometimes rough You showed us that you had the stuff.

A challenge now and then, you bet; But that's to be expected, met.

You've done it right with spark and flame You've showed us how to play the game.

To be yourself was always first; If for the best or for the worst.

As you depart from Belmont Hill The tools you've forged will serve you still.

We are so proud of who you are Of what you'll do as you go far.

Our love, Lee, always do expect; But, more than that, our deep respect.

GOOD LUCK! Mom,Dad & C.J.

The choices we make in life must come from deep within ourselves.

Wherever your travels take you remember that we love you and are always here for you.

CONGRATULATIONS KEITH ON A JOB WELL DONE Love, Mom,Dad and Graham

Dearest, son Nicholas: You are our first born son. You were a pleasant baby, always waking with a smile on your face. What a time it was trying to raise a boy so energetic as you. You kept us on our feet.

You loved life, loved being a boy, gave your sister a run for the money, played hard, and fell asleep on your way to the pillow. It hasn't always been easy and of course, now that you're older, we haven't always agreed, but one thing is for certain: We are so extremely proud of you.

Always keep your priorities straight. God is always first in everything. Then follows family, education, career, love, your offspring and friends. God is eternal, family is forever, friends come and go. We will always be there to help you make the right choices and even when you stumble.

Nick: It wasn't so long ago that I watched as you made your first cry declaring your entrance into this world. As your Dad, I was so proud to have a son. Nothing else mattered then, it was you and I. I was never one for sports but you introduced me to that world. I remember the various games, matches and tournaments that I went to just to watch you play/compete. Your focus and concentration spoke to me of the depth of your being and your drive for success.

Enjoy your youth and freedom while it lasts. Someday you'll look back and wish for it again.

Remember, you are the embodiment of my hope and dreams for the future. Keep focused on your career goals. I have always told you that you could be anything that you wanted to be. Remain determined and undaunted in your endeavors. Never accept defeat. Set your goals high and bring home the GOLD. Get all your education now. There will be plenty of time for love later. How proud VoVo would have been of you, his namesake, on this day. My prayers are with you.

Love Dad Nicholas, my firstborn son, They say "only the strong suvive." Well, since birth you have been a survivor. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; I'm very proud of you. I love you very, very much. Remember God always in life and you will go far.

Love Ma

Dear Nick, .... If I had a twin, you would be him. I am proud of you' Remember, you can do anything you want and believe you are capable of doing. I am behind you all the way and will be there for you always.

Love ya Ne Ne Dear Nicholas, You've been a great brother to have around. Your jokes are your best talent. I hope you enjoy college life, but don't forget where you came from.

Love always, your number 1 sister, Lanaii Dear Nick, Although we fought a lot,I will miss all the good times we had together, and all your funny jokes. Thank you for having the patience to help me with my homework. I hope you have fun when you go away to college. Good luck and I'll miss you very much.

Love always .... Ticia Dear Nicholas .... I hope you have a good time at college. I'll miss you while you're away.

I'll remember how you used to pick on me. I'll miss the times when you came home from Belmont Hill and would do stuff with me. Hope you have a good trip. Think about me.

All my love always, MiguelAngelo

To My Grandson Nicholas, You've been a wonderful grandson who has brought much joy to our lives. Being born on our 30th anniversary, and being named after your grandfathers made you very special to us. You alone can make your name greater than how it was given to you. We've been so proud of you. Remember, your first priority in life is God. Keep your mind on Him and everything will fall into place. He will guide your path.

Even the stars are not limits to you. Your brightness puts the future within your grasp. Go for the gold. Let nothing interfere with your career. We love you and will always stand by you.

Sorry Vovo couldn't be here with us.

You were one of the twelve lights that brought tremendous joy to his life. As you have a special place for him in your heart, so also he had a special place for you in his. He's watching over us as we celebrate this day with you. He'll never be far from you because he continues to live in your heart.

With all my love and God's blessings, Vozinha To our first Grandson Nicholas, You are about to take that big leap â&#x20AC;&#x201D; out of high school into life â&#x20AC;&#x201D; real life. Remembering that you will always find and have your Heavenly Father near and present.

With all our love; Grandma, Grandpa, Gage, Aunt Sheila, Jacob, Joshua &Todd To the first Godchild that we shared Nicholas, We wish you the best that life can offer. When in the valley of decision, follow your heart and truth will shine through. Keep your eyes on God and He will steer you away from the pitfalls of life.

Love & Prayers .... Godfather Phillip, Dinha, Denee & Jade Nicholas; Congratulations on your graduation. As you start your journey in life, begin by asking God to show you His purpose for your, then step out in FAITH, and the knowledge and wisdom will follow.

With love, Uncle Olander, Aunt Janet, and your five cousins from the south To My Loving Nephew Nicholas; You have been blessed with your grandfather's name and you have his legacy to uphold.

Chase, to paraphrase your own words: "'There are basically two types of friends.

The first type is very special and very close. You don't have many of them, hut they'll be your friends forever, whatever you do, wherever you go.

The others are special too, and although not so close; you have many of them, and you'll find even more wherever you go and whatever you do.'"

We are proud of your teachers and With love,

your hard work and grateful to classmates.

Spring Sports

This year's track team faced many challenges right at the beginning of the season. The first problem being, it no longer had a full track due to the construction ofthe new athletic facility.

Though the team spent a lot oftime travelling to Belmont High and Milton Academy for practices, the squad continued to work hard thanks to the leadership ofsenior captain's Franklin Bright, Matt Murphy and junior captain Kurt Bennett. After the first four meets of the season were cancelled, the team finally was able to race for the top of the league against powerhouses such as St. Paul's and Thayer. After a slow start, the team jumped to victories over St. George's, Moses Brown, Hyde and G.D.A. thanks to the terrific running of senior distance-men, Al Smith, Mike Dougherty and Evan Campisi. In the I.S.L. Championship Meet, the boys from Belmont fought hard and ate well thanks to chefs Mr. Bennett and Mr. Murphy. Sophomore standout, Ryan Scudellari jumped a height of 5'10," which was a personal best and good enough for third place. Junior Mike Costello took the cake in the 800m and Franldin Bright threw an awesome 45' in the shot put. The team finished fourth, however, the results don't show the hard work and desire put forth by the team, especially seniors Ben Wells and Jeff Brea in the javelin. Next year's squad looks to jump back to the top of the league with its new facility. It looks to be led by sophomores Ben Nauman,Janet Rothmeier and Reggie Gossett along with next year's captains Steve Gogolak, Mike Costello and Kurt Bennett. The team would like to thank coaches, Bryant, Trautz, Stewart and Fleming, but especially Mr. Kirby who put more work into this season to give us the facilities we didn't have, even if it meant being our personal chauffeur to Milton twice a week. We can't thank him enough for all the time he has spent with the track program throughout the years. He deserves this new track more than anyone does.

-Matt Murphy

This year's sailing season started with promise as we defeated St. George's, Brewster, and Falmouth early on. These wins came with little surprise as our Varsity skippers Thatcher Spring, John Stakes, and Alex Munnell returned from their successful summers. John placed high in the results at the Atlantic Coast Championship and the competitive Cork Regatta in Canada held in Lasers. He then went on to place 6th in the New England Triple Handed Championship in J22's which gave him valuable experience at the helm. Thatcher again captured 1st place in the New England Double Handed Championship and 6th at the Junior Double Handed National Championship held in Kaneohe Bay, Hawaii in late August. Rounding out the Varsity team were crews Jason Tse, Kyle Bergeron, Patrick Dowd,and Alden Reid.

In the New England Fleet Racing Championship held this year at M.I.T, the team finished third, which was good enough to secure a spot for the team at the National High School Fleet Racing Championships at the US Sailing Center in Long Beach, California. Also qualifying were Tabor, Brunswick, George Stevens, and Fairfield Prep.

At Long Beach, we faced the top twenty schools drawn from regional qualifiers around the country. While the five qualifying schools from California gathered at the regatta following nine months of consecutive practice, Belmont and the other New England Schools came after only seven weeks. Through the heavy, consistent West Coast sea breeze, Belmont Hill sailed a strong series finishing 8th and claiming the title of top New England school. Tabor, Brunswick, George Stevens, and Fairfield Prep finshed 12th, 1i 4A th, 15th, and 18th respectively.

Newport Harbor won the series with the four other California schools following in order.

Although this year's graduating seniors will be missed, new talent seems to be ready to take their places. Upcoming skippers and crews include Brendan Koeniger, Patrick Dowd, Alex Munnell, Alden Reid, Andrew Miller, and Patrick Hughes. Next year's season should prove to be exciting.

Belmont Hill's Team 2000 in golf was arguably one of the strongest the school or the ISL has ever seen.

Returning the same squad for the third straight year, the Hillies came into the spring positive and ready to play some good golf.

Led by senior captain and number one player Jon Wyson, Belmont Hill started off hot with decisive wins over Milton, Andover, GDA,and Rivers before running into a solid Nobles team. At the Dedham Country and Polo Club, Belmont Hill put forth a valiant effort, but fell just shy of the win with some clutch play by the Nobles #6 man, and thus ended up losing the match 4 to 3. The next tough match came against a new league power in Lawrence Academy. Lawrence escaped with a 4.5-2.5 win over Belmont Hill at their quirky home course in New Hampshire. After this loss, the Belmont golfers knew it was time to step it up, and they went on to win seven matches in a row, including a valiant 5-2 triumph over Nobles.

Right in the middle of this winning streak came the ISL tournament, hosted by the Wollaston Golf Club in Milton. The top five golfers from the squad took the day offfrom school on May 15th to compete, and brought home the tournament title with a score of 323, one stroke better than the Middlesex team, and two better than Thayer. Number two player Jon McHugh and number three, Conor D'Alton, played very well in the windy conditions, posting scores of80 and 78 respectively, which was good enough for all-league honors. Captain Wyson shot an 81, playing very well on the back nine, while number four player D.J. Hynes shot an 85. Jeff Hamilton shot an 84, rounding out the team's scores. Belmont's consistent play was a key component in the win, with all players catalyzing the victory.

After the ISL tournament title, the Hillies got right back to work, defeating Middlesex at the beautiful International Country Club in Bolton. Belmont then squared up against Lawrence and tied them at the home course, Belmont Country Club, in their rematch. The season ended with a difficult tri-match at Concord Country Club versus Middlesex and St. Sebastian's. The team arrived focused once again, and knocked off the Arrows 6.5-1.5, but Middlesex proved to tough on their home course, and took the match 4-3. However, this loss didn't matter because the Hillies had already clinched the league title by one point over Middlesex and a point and a half over Lawrence, successfully culminating their three-year quest.

Next year the team will lose six valuable seniors, including Jon Wyson, Jon McHugh, Conor D'Alton, Greg Nicolls, Joe Grause and Joe Morone. All will be missed very much as the team tries to defend their title against stiff competition next year. Next year's returnees will be led by captains-elect D.J. Hynes and Jeff Hamilton, along with Fourth Formers John Quinn and David St. Clair, as they hope to tackle the league once again.

With the loss two All-Star players from last year, the pressure for scoring goals and winning the games was spread over a larger group. On attack, John McGraw (captain), Chris Cotter, Pete Doyle, and Taylor Davis held the primary positions as offensive threats. However, Beck Sloman has proven to be skilled and will no doubt charge the offense in future years. At midfield, senior and All-League player Mike Egan, led the team with his face-offs, defense and powerful shot. Justin Platten, another senior proved himself as the fast break champion with his lightning running ability. In addition, seniors Chase Johnson and Justin Krane filled in at midfield positions. Justin proved himself as a fierce defensive midfielder and earned a spot on man-down. Also on midfield were talented juniors such as Matt Drasser, Zach Page, and Keith McCarthy. Amazingly, three strong sophomores stepped in at midfield starting positions including Ryan Hurd, Kent Harrington, and Taylor Duke. Andrew O'Brien became a ground ball vacuum over the course of the season at long stick midfield. On defense, George Spilios and Scott Aldrich (captain) controlled the opponents' offense and became excellent ball rushers, while Senior Ben Finnegan punished offences with his bone-crushing stick and body checks. Senior Ed Kirby and Junior Rob Dunn were responsible for keeping the ball out of the net. Filling in on defense were Joe Schipanni and Joe Dougherty. Sophomore Andrew Ward was also an important part of the team.

Near the end of the season, the coaches in the ISL vote for All League players. Belmont received three, which went to Scott Aldrich, Mike Egan and Andrew O'Brien.

After some tough early games, coaches and players alike prepared themselves for a long season.

Yet it was impressive that no one gave up even after the extremely disheartening injury of Jared Libby, a star midfielder who would have been key in winning the ISL title. After a win over Lawrence, a weaker team in the ISL, Belmont Hill began to build its confidence and different players assumed roles of scorers, cutters, and defensive rushers. Later, Belmont Hill would rise to beat a tough St. Sebastian's by a tremendous comeback, which sparked a feeling among players that they had a chance to win the ISL. In a few weekends, Belmont faced a stellar St. Paul's team, who had beaten the former champions of the ISL, and played an outstanding game winning 9-5. This put the team in a position to play an undefeated RL team and possibly tie for the ISL title. Unfortunately, RL proved to be unbeatable. Although Belmont Hill did not win the league, the lacrosse team exceeded the expectations of the fans, players and coaches.

Inspiring leadership and undaunted intensity lifted the Belmont Hill Baseball team to the top ofthe ISL in an impressive season. Seniors Brian Binkoski and Chris Unger provided pitching prowess, frustrating hitters around the league, while John Clifford quarterbacked the tight defense from behind the plate. Captain Keith Morrell held down the hot corner at third base, and provided solid power in the lineup. Hard hitting junior Andrew Cleary played flawlessly at shortstop, but made his most valuable contributions at bat, spanking out many homers in the games. Juniors Matt Brogan and Kevin Galvin platooned at second base, and senior Brendan McCafferty played first base. McCafferty returned from an early season injury to complete the rock solid defense with his trademark "splits." In the outfield, Seniors Andrew Killian and Andrew DeMarco, along with junior John Katz, caught everything hit their way, and punished any base runners foolish enough to test their throwing arms. DeMarco won team MVP honors, as he led the Hill's high octane offense. Juniors Mike McCarthy and Jake Wells provided valuable assistance to the Coaching staff, and Junior A.J. Nary dutifully warmed up the pitching staff in the bullpen. Just as important to Belmont Hill's success as the player's onfield prowess, was the behind the lines genius and leadership of head coach Ed Gallagher and his assistants, Coaches Simourian,Powell, Gedman,Brownell, and Michals. Together they taught the team both the technique and the intensity, which made the Belmont Hill baseball team a winner.

For the Varsity Tennis team, the 2000 season was one of success in the face of tough challenges. With the new Jordan Athletic Center under construction and the old rink/tennis courts transformed into a weight room/indoor practice facility, the racquetmen were without courts and a locker room. The team, led by coach John Ambielli and captain Mike Brennan, adapted by switching practice time between public courts in Belmont and indoor courts at the Winchester Indoor Lawn and Tennis Center and Woburn Racquet Club, and played their home matches in Winchester and Woburn.

Things were not made any easier when senior Pat Malloy, captain and number one player on the team since his freshman year, decided to focus his energies on squash (Pat is a top five nationally ranked squash player). The team had also lost its number 2 player, Nick Lacaillade, who left after last season for Taft.

Yet these setbacks only made the team stronger. Led by the strong leadership ofjunior captain and 1st singles player Brennan, as well as the steady presence of seniors Andrew Zook (2nd singles) and Tin Ha-Ngoc (3rd singles), the team bounced back from an early defeat to Thayer to win five straight matches. Especially impressive was a 10-8 victory over rival Roxbury Latin, in which the lower singles ladder and strong doubles play seized the day for the victorious Hillies.

Despite losing narrowly to undefeated St. George's, and later to league champions Milton, as well as Nobles and Groton, the Hillies never went down easily, nearly upsetting powerhouse teams that came into the matches expecting an easy victory. Belmont Hill trounced over teams such as Rivers, Brooks and St. Mark's, to finish the season with a respectable 10-5 record, good for 6th in the ISL, which is perhaps the strongest league in Massachusetts.

Finishing with the same record as last year despite having lost its top two players and its home is a testament to the team's determination and grit. The impressive teamwork ofthe Hillies was most evident in doubles where the teams of Brennan and Ha-Ngoc (1st doubles),Zook and freshman Andrew Leisman(2nd doubles), and sophomores Rich Trussell and Todd Basnight (3rd doubles) played with the best of them. At St. George's, after losing 8-4 in singles, the determined doubles teams took the courts to give St. George's a 10-8 scare that came down to the last doubles point.

The team will again say goodbye to two of its top three this year with the departure ofZook and Ha-Ngoc. The rest ofthe team will return, however, seeking to replicate a stellar 2000 season.

The Varsity Crew team started its training early this year with several people participating in the World Indoor Rowing Championships in February. This allowed us to be very efficient when we finally got on the water the week before spring break under the demonic coaching supervision of Mr. Wood and Mr. Richards. During the second week of vacation we held double session practices and the top four boats began to distinguish themselves. The fourth boat, made up of Rob Basile, Matt Fay,Rob Rose, Ben LeClair, and coxswain Ed Wellington went on to have a very successful season despite their small size, losing only to a very strong Nobles Crew. Our opening 5-boat race against Deerfield, Gunnery, Brooks, and St. Marks was a success with wins in the second and fourth boats, and second place finishes in the first and fourth boats. However next weekend only the fourth boat won against BB&N and we had to give up the Ducey Cup. Then the following weekend the first boat pulled out our only victory ofthe day against Nobles, beating the two-time defending National Champion crew to gain back the Basset Cup for the first time in three years! Despite this success, again only the fourth boat won in our annual tri-race against Brooks and Groton. The second boat began to gain some steam though and both 2nd and 4th boats beat St. Marks in our last regular season race ofthe year at home. Going into the final weekend of racing at the New England Championships, the final lineups were set: in the third boat, Andrew Muir, Andrew McCarthy, Jackson Bell, Fred Tressler, and cox Charles Psoinos; in the second boat, Tom Martin,Phil Arias, Paul Kelly, and cox Alex Demers; and in the first boat, Chip Gibson,Dave Hyde,Stu Leiber, Matt O'Grady, and cox Tim O'Connell. All four boats seem to be peaking in this last week and are looking forward to some hardearned success at New England's.
