Just as the motto of the United States declares one from many , so have we, the Class of 1957, come together at Amity from the towns of Bethany, Orange, and Woodbridge. Al- though we will soon be separated, the Embers will remain a warm reminder of experiences we shared together. 4 Mr. Hiram Tindoll DEDICATIDN lt is with the utmost pride that we dedicate the 1957 EMBERS to Mr. Hiram Tindall. Through his guidance, unselfishly given, we have come to know him as a teacher, an adviser, and a friend. He has ac- complished more than his position calls for in aiding the members and promoting the activities of the Senior class. With warmest regards we look upon him as a person who will always occupy a special place in our hearts and memories. 5 What could be more of 0 problem than the . -1-X.: - 4,.. ,u-..:..

PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE In this, our last year at Amity, we have had many tasks beset us, the preponderance of which have been carried out faithfully and with a mini- mum of failure. Not the least of these has been the iob of strengthening traditions and creating new ones which we feel would be desirable and beneficial in the ensuing years. Among the traditions which we feel we have in some measure strengthened, is that of the school tie, composed in part of cooperation and amity between faculty and student body, and pride in scholastic and extra- curricular achievement. We would be the first to admit that it was not all sweetness and light, however, nothing would be good if it were not for contrasting bad, and by the same token, nothing would succeed if there were no failures by which to measure success. We shall, I hope, be remembered for our triumphs, rather than our very few wholehearted but unsuccessful attempts. ' Sincerely, Reid 24 FRANK ANNICELLI Orange l can resist anything but temptation Anything for a laugh . . .You never know what he's going to do next . . .

Its obiectives are to assist in providing co-operation and unity among the students and faculty in all extra-curricu- lar activities and to give everyone an opportunity to share in school responsibility. This year, the council has done a tremendous job. It has carried out many proiects in order to meet the needs of the school. Amity should be proud of its Student Council. However, this year could not have been suc- cessful if it had not been for the exhaustive work of the executive board, the initiative of the represent- atives and alternates, the excellent guidance of the faculty advisers, and the enthusiastic support of the whole student body. I wish to take this opportunity to thank every single person who has helped us during the year. Sincerely, Ken COUNCH SENIOR COUNCIL OFFICERS Left to right are: Pat Richter, Recording Secretary: Penny Langeler, Treasurer, KennethLKehrer, President, Andy Bishop, Vice-President: JUNIOR COUNCIL OFFICERS and Marion Hill, Corresponding Secretary.

Mr. James Dunleavy and Mr. Richard Johnson are in charge of the Senior Council, while Mr. John Jennings has organized the Junior Council, composed only of the Junior High Mem- bers This year the Council has been very busy in sponsoring the Curtis Magazine Drive, the Awards Assembly, the E.

The play Turn Back The Clock is a hilarious story which proves that the teenagers of the 1920's were no different from the teens of today. Judy Wolfe aptly played Evie, the rad- ical daughter of Mr. Uoe Glorialand Mrs. Uudy Wain- manl Palmer, who drives her parents, especially her father, to distraction. Evie's two boy friends, Charlie Hill fDick Clareyl and Johnnie Stone CReid Kaplanl, prove to be a source of hilarity throughout the play. Larry Palmer CNed Buntonl and his sister Sally fMarion Hilll, under a comic cover, tie this typical family of the era together. Such characters as Maybelle Harrison CMary Ellen Harrisonl, Irene lsherwood CBarbara Wiesl, Phyllis McSorley QMary D'Aurial, Hilda the maid CDonna De- Veglial, Barbara Bannister lPat Maxwelll, her brother, Ollie fPat Siskl, and Slim Bascombe KDavid Dedrnanl add to the comic scurry which was so vividly portrayed on the Amity High School Stage.

Also rating high were the Italian dishes, as rich apizza. But the boys are not selfish in their proiects. They often served coffee and snacks to the teachers on Thursday.

Although the record was only 2 wins against 5 losses the team was as impressive in defeat as they were in victory. ln several of the games they far surpassed their victorious opponents in yards gained, first downs and in most of the categories in which the winning team usu- ally excels. Vito Luciani, the Captain, let the team in scoring with 5 touchdowns, scoring the first touchdown of the cam- paign and the second in the history of the school. This occurred on a pass from senior fullback Mike Sirowich in the first game against North Haven, a play which covered 77 yards in all. The next week, Amity played host to Griswold, a game which resulted in a loss for the determined but out-gunned Golden Bear. Amity and St. Mary's met at East Rock Park, where the Golden Bear bowed again O-6. The play of the defen- sive team was outstanding however. The team and the cheerleaders took a fairly long trip to Central Falls where they met Plainfield High. Both the cheerleaders and the few spectators witnessed Amity's 4th loss of the season. However, Amity's total yardage was twice that of the opponent. Again Captain Luciani scored the touchdown, with the final score 12-13. Out- standing defensemen of the game were Ken Cunningham and Ken Luciani. The first win of the season, long overdue, was the first in the short history of the school. This game was played against Cheshire High at Cheshire. The entire team played precision ball, both offensively and defensely. First Row: P. Fielding, G. Graham, K. Hunt, J. Claffey, S. Coppola, R.

After only a few short prac- tices they plunged into the Jamboree and came ont in second place with three wins and one loss, that to mighty Hamden. Coach Dunleavy says, The way to win is to skate and play your hearts out all the time, and especially to stay out of the penalty box. With Rusty Williams in the nets, two strong and able defensemen, Co-captain Mac Chatfield and Paul Lazay, and back-checking lines, goals scored against Amity have been kept at a very low minimum. On the other hand, the scoring potential of the lines and the defense was excep- tionally high. Co-captain Jerry Couden was the leading play maker while Charles Harger had led the scoring department, including two hat tricks . Both defensemen have good hard shots and inev- itably their long blue line ones were the best. Playing good hard hockey seems to be the key to success for Amity's hockey team as they fully realized their greatest desire . . . to go to Providence for the New England High School Hockey Tournament. In District League play they ended up in second place with a 5-2-l record, good enough to fulfill their desire. In total play they had a creditable 7-3-l record. Rusty Williams HCDCKEY Hustle!!

BASKETBALL e 1956-57 season saw the Spartans win their first cage victory in the school's short history-a 48-43 decision over Eli Wh't .Th ' ' ' ' 1 ney e steady fans were repaid with many thrilling games, particularly the twin successes against Cheshire and a rev enge victory over Shelton. In spite of inexperienced and opposing t h . . . eams t e Amity five managed to rack up a very creditable 7-10 won-lost record, a decided im rovem t Th p en over last year's O-8 record. As far as we can see it was a good season with tangible results to show for sincere efforts of all concerned. Mr. Halpin put every talent at his disposal into the building of his team ' h wlt out whose guidance it is certain that things would have been much worse in the scoring columns. Although many of the squad will be graduating with the team losing such fine basketeers as Captain Ski Clla k D p r , ave Dedman, Steve Boyle, Al Schlitter and Mike Sirowich, the out- l ' ' ' ook for next season isnt at all dim Ken Meyer and Joe Sills th . e I season's top scorers will return as well as Bud Peterson, Tom Mag- en J h ' ' au, o n Brown and Paul Lockwood. In addition there will be much good talent coming up from Jack William's Jay Vee 5, which k d - mar e a successful IO 7 season.

All opposition in class B was decisively broken by the Amity Mermen. As there is no official class B swimming championship Amity has won this honor by virtue of having beaten every class B school in the State. In overall competition Amity has the distinction of finishing 3rd in total scoring for all classes. Ten records in all have fallen before the powerful Amity swimmers. These record-breaking events were led by Captain Jim Giebler's time of 20.7 in the 40 yard freetyle in the first meet. After the ice was broken, record times were es- tablished again and again, there were four new record times. Although swimming is not a spectator sport and is very little publicized, our team has drawn and interested an large number of enthusiastic and proud followers.

BOWLING Hampered by inexperience, the Amity bowling team never- theless showed fine form throughout the season. Special mention goes to Capt. Ken Kehrer, one of the highest scorers in the league and also to John Bell, Ernie Grabber, and Dick Kehrer, who, al- though novices to organized bowling competition, have been re- sponsible to a large extent for the success of the team so far. High scoring honors go to Ken Kehrer with the high game Amity's golf team, finishing a creditable 1956 season, re turns shortly to the rolling lawns of local clubs. As the golf season give any results. However, on the basis of last year's record and the fact that all the lettermen are returning this year with a-season of experience under their belts, we feel that the oncoming round of matches promise to be highly successful. One of the highlights of the 1956 matches was the excep- tionly fine score of 79 made by Captain Art Decko, who comes of 154 and the high 3 games with 345. - 2.1, , .1 doesn't begin until after the Embers publication we are unable to ,T xk-:,h E , n' .., -I X 17 .
