CLASS HISTORY
We the members of the class of 54 enterrng the
seemmgly mammoth halls of the Ansonla Hrgh
School four years ago as Bewrtched Bothered and
Bewrldered freshmen had one dream to become
hrgh and mrghty semors
Now that we have reached that model of perfec
tron and are gradually prepartng to leave our be
loved Alma Mater we can recall the numerous events
that played an rmportant part rn the realrzatron of
our dream
Wxth the electron of our freshman class officers
Barbara Ftsher presldent Ann Marle D1G1orgx v1ce
presrdent and John Glenn secretary treasurer w
made the first advancement toward our goal Before
long the talent and the abrlrty of the freshmen were
recognrzed ln the hlgh school band and on the Ob
server staff
After months of preparanon our efforts were
rewarded wrth the presentatlon of The Belle of
Barcelona our annual operetta vxhnch proved to bc
a great success In the leads vsere ohn Blake Joyce
Dreher Lourse Hummel Gene Sadlowskl Wrllraraa
Glenn and Sal Ferla
As our hrst year of hlgh school came to an end
we looked forward to an enjoyable and restful vaca
tron But that summer wrth the tragrc death of ohn
Blake a popular classmate we suffered a very great
oss
We returned m September to the Ansoma Hrgh
School gettlng acquamted agarn wrth some of our
old classmates whom we had not seen all summer
Although we were strll Strangers IH Paradrse
lf was wonderful to be an actual part of the lllgll
school
Startmg wrth a bang we elected Sal Ferla ean
Hallett john Glenn and Lmda Mayer as our class
officers
The sophomore football heroes that year were
Tony Vellturo john Stanko john Karlok Bernard
Odoy Charles Peters Bull McAll1ster and Hugh
Collms Representmg us on the basketball team were
Anthony Vellturo and ohn Glenn The gurls also
showed thelr prowess nn athletrcs by gammg merrts
on the Honorary Volleyball Team whrch included
H
40
Genevreve Chapllnskas Marron Dechxo Edxth D1
Lalla Jean Hallett Gene Krupa Marre Morganellr
Ahce Petryshyn and Gene Sadlowskx
Many soph dramatrsts exhrbrted therr actmg
talent by jornmg the Dramatrc Club
Lawrence Brett was the lone soph who par
trcrpated rn the Pubhc Speakrng Contest
As unxors we were only one step away from our
goal But T111 Then as full fledged upper classmen
we eagerly set to work by electmg our junior class
leaders Sal Ferla presrdent ean Hallett vice pres
rdent john Glenn treasurer and Lmda Mayer secre
tary Unfortunately Lmda left our hrgh school to at
tend Shelton Hlgh but she was ably replaced bs
Barbara Frsher Patty Smlth and Donald Redshavu
left th1s year also for prrvate schools and Sandra Bus
well left to attend Mllford Hxgh School
It was not long before we had the pleasant task
of selectxng our long awarted class rlngs Black onyx
was agreed upon as the stone The rmgs were to be
engraved vuth our class motto-Ad Astra Per Aspera
john Cooke Mrchael Egan Rrchard Huzl Edward
Grxfhn Mxchael Patulak John Hemenway ohn
Glenn and Maurrce Meade jomed our football squad
that year At the annual football banquet Bernard
Odoy and Brll McAllrster were selected as co captams
of our football team
lohn Glenn served as our basketball captam
Robert Wedln Jon Hall oe Mastroslmonl and
Rrchard Schull were the rumor baseball players
Cheerrng our teams on to vrctory were two peppy

FOOTBALL
On August 29, while most of the students of the A. H. S.
were still enjoying their lengthy summer vacation, about
forty boys headed, purposefully but reluctantly, towards the
clubhouse at the Athletic Field for their first official practice.
Under the guidance of head coach Charles Jarvis and his
able assistant john Gondek, the team held double practices
for two weeks during very warm weather, but soon our
team began to take shape.
Although the season was prophesied by many as a poor
one, the team proved to be a success in winning seven out of
nine games, while losing to Stamford and Hillhouse.
ANSONIA-20, LEAVENWORTH-O
Led by their able co-captains, "Bernie" Odoy and Bill
McAllister, the untested A. H. S. team took the field against
a poor Leavenworth team. With McAllister providing the
punch with his two touchdowns, which earned him the
honor, "back of the week," Ansonia downed Leavenworth
with some strong line defense which starred pint-sized
Collins and two rough tackles in the persons of john Cooke
and "Big Sam" Olenechuk. Ansonia's third touchdown came
by way of a Lawlor to Ahern aerial.
ANSONIA-13, SHELTON-7
With one win under their belts, Ansonia took the field
against Shelton in the first night game of the season. A
crowd of 4,000 fans saw Marty Lawlor score Ansonia's first
T.D. and co-captain "Bernie" Odoy add the winning touch-
down. Co-captain Bill McAllister, Hugh Collins, "Chuck"
Peters, and "Sam" Olenechuk were the big guns for the
A. H. S.
ANSONIA-9, CROSBY-0
This was the do-or-die game of the season. If Ansonia
could win this game the season might prove to be a success-
ful one. This game was all "jack" Karlok. His electrifying
50 yard touchdown run and continual lengthy gains, broke
the backs of the CrQsby players. Also starring in this game
were "Mike" Egan, "Chuck" Peters, Hugh Collins, and
"Bucky" Glenn.
ANSONIA-0, STAMFORD-12
Placing a 3-0 record on the line, the forces of Coach jar-
vis met a strong Stamford eleven on a cold October night in
a game witnessed by 4,500 fans who were sorely dis-
appointed at the outcome of the game. Although defeated
by two touchdowns, Ansonia outplayed Stamford and beat
them physically with strong line play which featured Hugh
Collins, Bill McAllister, Sam Olenechuk, John Cooke, Mike
Egan, "Chuck" Peters, and "Bernie" Odoy.
ANSONIA-7, HAMDEN-6
Sporting a 3-l record, the charges of Coach Jarvis took
the field against Hamden on a rainy Friday afternoon. Al-
though Hamden took an early lead of 6-0, late in the third
quarter a Lawlor to McAllister touchdown pass gave An-
sonia at least a tie. Then came the crucial moment, with
Vellturo holding, Cichon split the uprights with the win-
ning point. A defensive standout was Hugh Collins.
ANSONIA-34, TORRINGTON-14
Led by the swift running of Tony Vellturo, the Ansonia
football team rolled to a 54-14 victory over Torrington at
Nolan Field.
Vellturo was a busy bee all afternon as he scored three
touchdowns in the Lavender's biggest offensive spurt of the
season.
Ansonia's first T.D. came on a one yard bolt by Vellturo.
Minutes later Vellturo again scampered 15 yards to paydirt
as Ansonia zoomed ahead 15-0.
After the visitors sliced the deficit to 13-7 on a pass play
from Kulas to Koplar, jackie Karlok, Lavender speedster,
rumbled over from the four yard line for a 20-7 margin.
Once again Ansonia scored as the alert Vellturo intercepted
a Torrington pass and dashed 42 yards for a touchdown.
Ansonia completed its scoring on a 17 yard bolt by Billy
McAllister. With the Ansonia reserves in the game, Torring-
ton scored on a 4 yard plunge by Koplar for the final score
of the day.
ANSONIA-18, DERBY-0
Highly favored Ansonia pounded out an 18-0 victory
over rival Derby before 4,500 fans at Nolan Field.
Sparked by Tony Vellturo and the timely passing of
Marty Lawlor, Charley Jarvis' grid gang rolled to two first-
half touchdowns to seal its sixth win of the campaign.
The first Lavender six pointer was all Vellturo. After
sprinting for 52 yards to the 9 yard stripe, Vellturo pocketed
the remaining yardage on the ensuing play for a 6-0 ad-
vantage.
Lawlor set the stage for the second T.D. with a pass
interception and capped it by pitching 25 yards to co-
captain Billy McAllister for another Lavender T.D. and a
12-0 difference at the half.
The Lavender didn't score again until the Hnal period
when Bernie O'doy battered over from the four yard stripe
for the final score of the evening.
Sam Olenechuk, turning in one of his best performances
of the season, joined the rib rattling Hugh Collins and Mc-
Allister as the top Lavender defenders up front.
HILLHOUSE-25, ANSONIA-15
Bowen Field was the same old boneyard to the high fly-
ing hopes of another good Ansonia eleven. Hillhouse stacked
up Ansonia 25-15 as it played one of its best games of the
season. The main misfortune was the first period loss of
Marty Lawlor, deft ball handler and passer.
Hillhouse opened the scoring on a 62 yard T.D. run by
Charlie Gray. Then after co-captain Billy McAllister capped
rm 60 yard march with a four yard sweep for a 7-7 tie, the
.Iarvismen allowed Johnny Daniels to go 85 yards on the
following kickoff for a 15-7 Hillhouse edge,
However the Lavender got six points when Tony Vell-
turo, swift moving halfback, raced 47 yards to a T.D. on a
handoff from Billy Hall to earn a 15-15 stalemate.
It was Hillhouse the rest of the way as the Lavender,
now minus John Cooke because of a second period injury,
began to wilt. Hillhouse moved to the ten yard stripe, from
where Charlie Gray cracked over for a 19-15 spread. After
an Ansonia interception the Ac's proceeded to add the
clincher as they moved 75 yards in 12 plays to the ten yard
line, from where Gray again cracked over to complete the
scoring with a 25-15 Hillhouse victory,
ANSONIA-52, NAUGATUCK-7
Employing some eye arresting T.D. tours to chew off
yardage in big gulps, Ansonia's well balanced football team
rolled to a 52-7 victory over Naugatuck to cap a surprising
7-2 campaign before 5,500 spectators at Nolan Field.
Tony Vellturo, a late season shocker to the opposition,
was the back breaker to the Greyhounds. The senior speed-
ster raced through the bewildered Greyhounds on an electri-
fying 75 yard touchdown tour on the opening kickoff, Late
in the same period Vellturo gobbled up a Marty Lawlor
screen pass and went 45 yards to paydirt to make it 15-0 and
offset a second quarter Naugatuck T.D. by Ray Marinko on
a pass play.
It was co-captain Billy McAllister who finished the Grey-
hounds for keeps in the Lavender dominated second half.
"Mighty Mac" climaxed a 45 yard march with a one yard
bolt to make it 20-7 and then again hit paydirt as he rum-
bled 24 yards following an interception by the alert co-
captain Bernie O'doy.
johnny "Bucky" Glenn kept the scoring ball rolling in
the closing minutes of play. The double duty center, a wing-
back defensively, speared an ill fated Doiron aerial on his 58
and raced 62 yards unmolested to the payoff stripe. Coach
Jarvis cleared the bench in the fading minutes with the
jayvees holding Naugy scoreless.
