Scanning over these years it hardly seems possible that we were those glowing seventh graders who entered Bassick Junior High School in September 1932, eager, yet just a little afraid of what lay before us. That very year, Lantern Land , an Ori' ental Operetta, with none other than Florence Pearson, Arthur Loven, William Supple and Julia Geslien, four of our Seniors, in its cast, was presented under the direction of Miss Rose Beck. Our meditations take us back to the days when Miss Gallahue was engaged in attempting to impress on our seemingly impenetrable minds, scientific deductionsi and Miss Kavanah, with a similar goal in mind, placed before us the cold bare facts of mathematics. Unforgettable also, was the presentation of the play Broken Dishes , in which the Bassick faculty demonstrated their theatrical talents. This splendid entertainment was not repeated despite the well-earned praise it received. We students often wondered why. At the end of our first happy year we looked forward to the coming one when we would not be the babies of the school. You can imagine our disappointment When, coming back in 1933, We discovered that the seventh grade had been discon- tinued, making us the babies again. Patiently we anticipated the arrival of pupils who would not look at us with a know it all expression, but it was only in 1935 as sophomores that our infancy came to an end. Therefore in 1935, with a newly acquired importance, we undertook the grave problem of selecting our officers for the next year. Thus we started our social career. Nov. 5, 1936 NOV. 25, 1936 Feb. 2, 1937 Apfii s, 1937 -After carefully counting our ballots we ordered our blue and white class banner which has graced all our affairs. -Our first dance, The Pig Skin Party , with plenty of cider and doughnuts. -The Junior Tea when the Junior girls acted as hostesses to their mothers in a gayly decorated library. - Girls' Day when the Seniors defeated the Juniors in the Athletic Contests and the Juniors gained revenge, for Helen Kocsis, the Junior class secretary, walked away with the honors at the Fashion Show held later. May 28, 1937 Although we were sorry to leave a joy-crammed junior year, we looked forward with eager anticipation and new found dignity, for we were to become Seniors in September! Oct. 15 Dec. 2 1937 1937 -The Junior Frolic. Music, baloons, fun, and souvenirs. -The Barn Dance a huge success featuring square dancing, cider and doughnuts. -We Seniors enjoyed a humorous and interesting lecture by Mr. George Felch who had travelled extensively in South America. As an unusually thrilling climax, Mr. Felch blew an arrow at a tar- get some twenty-five feet away. Feb. 16, 1938-The long awaited Senior Play, Seventeen proved a tremendous hit. Bob Willie Castelot and Rose Jane Kessler shared top honors with the rest of the cast receiving well merited praise. Mar. 17, 1938- Shure and didn't we all have fun at the Senior Frolic?

It is their duty to collect dues and to report to the home room all business carried on at the meetings. Delegates' meetings are held at least once a month for the purpose of exchanging ideas and to lay the foundation for all class activities. At all meetings the secretary's report is read and the financial statement is given by the treasurer. The director of social activities also gives a summary of all coming events. The president of the class usually presides.

Student Council The Student Council has a representative from each home room in the school who is also a home room president. Secondly, there is a representative from each club and organization sponsored by the school who also attends the meetings. The odicers for this year are: president, Robert Tellalian, vice president, Jean O'MalIey, secretary, Shirley Cunningham, and treasurer, Joseph Massimino. This organization is carried on in a democratic manner. All proposals are voted upon by the body, and are brought up through the home room leader from the individual home room meetings. An important function of this club is the granting and issuing of charters to different school organizations. The members of the Council act as ushers for all the assemblies during the year as well as carrying on the regulation of trafiic in the building. The following things have been done during the year by the Student Council: a telephone booth has been installed for the use of the students, arrangements have been made for the changing of the lavatory doors, the planning of school hand-books, and the painting of white safety cross walks at the school driveway are all projects carried on during the year. Mrs. Katherine F. Mullins is the sponsor of the Student Council. Page Fifty-one 6221: .lr 'f s-wp.

National Honor Society The Bassick Chapter of the National Honor Society of Secondary Schools is an organization which aims to create an enthusiasm for scholarship, to stimulate a desire to render service, to promote worthy leadership, and to encourage the de- velopment of Worthy character in the students of our school. Yearly, students of the Junior and Senior classes are chosen by the faculty to be members of the society. Not more than five per cent of the Junior class and fifteen per cent of the Senior class may be elected. A first honor standing is required for mem- bership as well as evidence of leadership, a desire to serve, and a fine character. The class at present consists of twenty-two members, all active in our school's life, ready and eager to serve Whenever called upon. This has been an active year for the organization. It has served the Red Cross, helped during Organization Week and on Visiting Day, and sponsored a candy sale, the proceeds of which were used to invite Miss Jill Edwards to speak at a school assembly. At its annual induction, the club presented a gift to the Scholarship Loan Fund. In addition to these activities, the club has conducted several interesting pro- grams including question bees and group discussions. Several parties were given at the homes of members, and a Scavenger Hunt helped raise funds for the Student Loan. Before the year is over, the society expects to give a picnic for all members, past and present, at the summer home of its president, Jerome Bernstein. Fifty-two L.

Scholarship-Leadership At two assemblies held on October 21 and October 22 in the school auditorium, a record group of twenty-four juniors and twenty-two seniors was awarded the coveted Scholarship-Leadership pins. These pins are presented annually by the members of the United Civic Clubs of Bridgeport to encourage outstanding qualities of scholarship and leadership in Bassick students. They are awarded on the basis of the student's work of the previous year. The silver pins given to juniors are returned at the close of the school year, but if the seniors live up to the standard under which they were awarded the gold pins, the pins automatically become their own property at the end of the year.

Library Squocl The Library Squad was organized to acquaint its members with the Library, and to aid the students of the school in their search for reading material. By doing the actual work of shelving, slipping, and cataloguing, the Squad is able to carry out its purposes. Various projects concerning library work are given out to help them. The new members must, in order to enter the Squad, pass a period of probation, and upon successfully passing it, they are brought into the fold by a novel initation and party. The traits desired most in the girls are accuracy and ehiciency. Included on the Library Squad's program for the year are a trip to Yale College, New Haven, and several parties and socials. This year's Book Week, November 18, 1937 was observed in the traditional manner of giving a Faculty Tea at which the new books were exhibited under the idea of a Magic Highway. The present officers are: president, Helen Berger, vice president, Dorothy Koether, treasurer, Helen Jacobisky, secretary, Marjorie Bowen, student council delegate, Mary Mikusky, and director of social activities, Jean Toth.

Ifolion Club The main purpose of the Bassick Italian Club is to preserve and perpetuate Italian folk songs, folk-lore, and folk dances. The club is open to members of the Italian classes and to all students interested in Italian culture. Its activities have been varied and numerous. The musical accomplishments of the group have taken them to WICC Radio Station, where they participated in the Italian Civic Project, to Poli's theater Where, to the strains of the Bridgeport Symphony, directed by Mr. Frank Foti, they sang for a meeting of the Connecticut State Teachers Asso- ciation. Many local gatherings have enjoyed their programs including: the Cosmopolitan Club, the Washington M. E. Church, and the Authors' Club. In school activities, too, the club has been active, taking part in the Bassick Bfevities, and several school assemblies.

Order of Bossick Secretaries The Order of Bassick Secretaries is an honorary organization composed of those students enrolled in the secretarial curriculum who have secured honor grades in commercial subjects and promotion marks in all other studies. The objectives of the club are to stimulate further interest in secretarial work, to develop closer relationships with business firms of the city, and to further the wel- fare of the Commercial Department of Bassick High School. During the year 1937-1938 the O. B. S. successfully sponsored an Alumni Christ- mas Party, a Valentine's Day party to welcome the new junior members, a colorful May Day Dance, and the annual Senior Banquet. The members visited the Southern New England Telephone Company, the Post-Telegram, the Superior Court, the Children's Ward of the Bridgeport Hospital, Borck 8: Stevens, and several other outstanding organizations. Interesting forums were arranged, at which time Mr. Frank McKee and several Altrusa Club members presented valuable suggestions to assist in achieving success in the business world. In addition the O. B. S. handled the administration of the Annual Commercial Contest for all commercial classes in Bassick High School. Miss Agnes Scully is adviser of the club, and the officers include the following: president, Lillian Weiss, vice-president, Lillian Broadley, secretary, Virginia Willi, treasurer, Charlotte Petersen, director of social activities, Helen Kocsis, program director, Beatrice Keropian.

Chess Club With an outlook for a chess season none too bright due to the loss of all of last yc.r's phenomenal first team and part of the second team, the chess club started its fall work with a registration of sixty-one members. A fine spirit of responsibility and cooperation resulted in the formation of a team led by Lyonel Finizie, which first took the measure of the Danbury team, then Port Chester, and then a strong team of B players from the Stamford Chess Club, this got them off to a good start. Marking period reports cut two from the list and a weakened team drew with a strong Central High team captained, incidently, by a former Bassick champion. But the club is fulfilling another of its functions, that is, to help all who come to it to enjoy their leisure time. That the members who do not make the team or top positions do enjoy it is shown by the fact that the club numbers almost as many members at the end of this year as it did at the beginning. The winner of the annual tournament, which carries with it the title of champion of the school, was Lyonel Finizie. The team members were: Lyonel Finizie, Robert Finnerty, William Whalen, Donald Herdman, Lucian Lapinski, Walter Owens, and James Lesko.

Dromotic Club The Dramatic Club of Bassick High School, having a membership of eighty-five students, is one of the active clubs of the school. The club is divided into a sopho- more, junior, and senior unit, each one contributing its share to the entertainment of the meetings held monthly. In addition, each group gives a one-act play for an assembly for its particular class. Three very fine assemblies were given by members of the club this year. . The purpose of the club is to foster any dramatic ability which members of the club may have, to discover new talent, and in general to increase a love for the better things of the stage and screen. The oflicers of the club are as follows: president, Dorothy Russell g vice-president, Raymond Olive, secretary, Myrtle Osborne, treasurer, Rose Kessler. Miss McNulty is the adviser of this club.

Seventeen The senior class chose for its successful dramatic production for 1938 Booth Tarkington's Seventeen. Full of youth, laughter, and music, .Yeuenreefz centers around Willie Baxter and his first real love affair. It is with an almost tragic seriousness that Willie moves through the play, trying to vvin the affections of the silly, baby- talking Lola Pratt. But accompanied by her tiny dog, Flopit, her friend, May Parcher, Whom she is visiting, and Willie's and May's friends, Lola does not stop at one conquest, but continues to attract others. Throughout the play there is a strong under current of truth in the character- ization of youth's adolescent struggle. It is with a feeling of genuine pity that the audience beheld the effect of Willie's first disappointment in love and life. A pity somewhat lessened when he conformed to the wishes of his family by announcing his intention to go to college. Page Fifty-nine FRONT ROW: Left to Right:-Robert Ervin, Peter Miller, Mr. W. L.

Stage Crew The stage crew was organized for the purpose of assisting in the rehearsal and production of all stage activities, such as assembly programs, senior plays, moving pictures, etc. The members also have assisted in preparing the auditorium for all of the school dances. Among the many events to which they gave their assistance, are the Bassick Brevities, the Senior Class Play, Seventeen, the Senior Barn Dance, the Junior Pumpkin Hop, and the Senior Frolic. The organization of the crew is based on the Sea Scout organization and carries out the Scout principle of Doing a good turn daily, as scarcely a day passed during the year, but some member of the crew did some worthwhile piece of work for the school.

Junior Trofiic Safely Commission The Junior Traffic Commission is one of several such organizations in each of the High Schools of Bridgeport, Stratford, Fairfield, and the State Trade School. The council composed of the officers, delegates, and sponsors of the above schools, together with Mr. Young, Asst. Supt. of Schools of Bridgeport, Judge Paul L. Miller of the city Traffic Court, and Mr. Haines of the Travellers' Insurance Company is very closely allied with the Governor's Traffic Safety Commission of the State of Connecticut. The Bassick unit held regular meetings on the second and fourth Thursdays of each month, at which rules of the road, safety driving, and motor vehicle laws were discussed. The officers attended all meetings of the council and took part in planning the program and providing the entertainment for the mass meeting held in the Bassick Auditorium on March 29. Irene Buckley represented the Bassick unit in a radio interview over Station WICC on October 17. Irene Buckley, Jack Jensen, and Peggy Norton gave short talks on the com- mission's activities at luncheon meetings of the Rotary Club, Kiwanis Club, and the Manufacturers Association. A state conference sponsored by the Governor's Commission was held in New Haven on April 4, at which the Bridgeport Council provided the program with the Bassick Commission doing its share of the work. The officers of the club are: Irene Buckley, president, Ernest Schmidt, vice- president, Mary Wilson, secretary, Mr. W. L. Brown, sponsor.

Bossick Voice Business STQH: The chief function of the Bassick Voice business staff is to defray the cost of publishing the Bassick Voice and Yearbook, Early this year the staff made a spirited and successful subscription drive by obtaining 975 five-issue subscriptions. At weekly meetings, the various members of the club are given assignments to canvas prospective advertisers, collect copy, and make reports on the financial standing of the Voice The club is composed of fifteen members from sophomore, junior, and senior students who are interested in the business department of newspaper work. The students who belong to this group have a rare opportunity to observe and participate in branches of newspaper work which are little understood by most people.

Bossiclc Voice Literory Stuff One of the most active of the various school organizations is the Journalism Club. This club, which is open to all students interested in Journalism, puts out five issues of the Bassick Voice plus the annual yearbook and acquaints the students with the development of a successful publication. The members of this club must necessarily observe one requirement, correct English. They must have a fairly large vocabulary and a knowledge of correct grammatical construction of sentences and paragraphs, as well as correct rhetorical construction. This year the Voice began its ninth year of publication after having won a first place award from the Quill and Scroll society of Northwestern University for a paper of merit. The staff of the Voice , to which much credit is due for the success of this year's publications, is as follows: editor-in-chief, Lillian Weiss, managing editor, Norman Birnbaum, news editor, James Schwartz, rewrite editor, Edward Hebditch, sports editor, Harvey Friedman, girls sports editor, Jean Heller. The feature editors are: Jane Hancox, Jean Heller, Jack Bailin, and Barbara Phillips. Miss Harrigan is the literary adviser of the club. Page Sixty-three WK .

Debating Club Twelve students, who wished to learn the fundamentals of debating, went to Miss Rose A. Heanue in November, 1937, with the suggestion that she sponsor a debating club. Miss Heanue agreed to their suggestion, and the Bassick High School Debating Club was formed. Any student may become a member by regular attendance and interested participation. The meetings held on consecutive Mondays, consist of a business meeting, instructions on debating technique, and a debate. The speakers are volunteers, debating a subject suggested and voted upon by the members of the organization at the previous meeting. Some of the debates which have been enjoyed by the club are: Resolved: That U. S. should join the League of Nations, College athletics should be subsidized, That the small college offers greater advantages than does the large college, That the U. S. government should refuse to give military protection to property which is owned by its citizens and which is on foreign soil, That war except in cases of invasion or internal rebellion should be declared by a direct vote of the people. The club after more instructions and practice hopes to be able to meet the chal- lenges of more experienced teams. Granted a charter in january 1938, the club now boasts of a large and interested membership.

Make-Up Club Luckily or unluckily, the Make-Up Club consists of thirteen members this year. They compose a school organization which has the responsibility of selecting and applying make-up material for various effects in the amateur dramatics given in Bas- sick by Bassick pupils. To make beautiful those who are not, to make old those who are young, and to make more beautiful those who are already beautiful, is easier said than done. It is only after considerable practice and observation that our student artists are permitted to work on players, because definite skill is essential. The make-up squad has been active in each stage production given in Bassick. Many unusual assignments have been met by the group and accomplished with suc- cess. Perhaps the task which required the greatest effort both physical and mental was the making-up of twenty-five Indians for the Bridgeport Centennial Pageant in 1936. But hard as it may seem the vvork has always proved interesting, and it affords the members an enjoyable and instructive means of passing time after school. Membership in the Make-Up Club is open to students who have imagination, artistic sense, patience, dependability, and willingness to cooperate at a moment's notice. It is also important that students live near the school or on a line of transpor- tation convenient to the school so that they can be here evenings at rehearsals and performances.

Bossick Chorus The Bassick High School chorus of seventy-five voices has for its main objectives development of voice, appreciation of good music through the study of the Works of the best masters, and to give pleasure to the school, not only through the rendition of beautiful songs, but also through the socialization and bringing together of various groups in ensemble and community singing. A full all music program was presented at the Christmas Assembly on December 22. The chorus sang in the Bassick Brevities on December 9 and 10, the Inter-High School Jamboree at Central High on February 10, the Bassick Concert May 19, and the graduation exercises on June 23 and 24. The chorus feels that it is its responsibility to furnish all vocal music for the various school activities where music would contribute to the success and beauty of the school performance.

Orchestra One of the most active and worthwhile organizations in Bassick High School is the orchestra, which is under the supervision of Mr. Augustus Zavory. This group provides an excellent opportunity for its members to obtain practical orchestral training. It also makes the pupils realize that the result of combined forces in music is the same as the result of combined forces in any other field. The orchestra has played at various assemblies, and it has also aided in making the following events more entertaining, the Varsity Show, the Senior Play, the Musical Jamboree of the three high schools, the county meeting of the P. T. A. held at Bassick High School, and the Graduation exercises.

College Informofion Club A College Information Club, the first known of its kind, was organized in Bassick this year for the purpose of giving students facts that they should know about college preparation, such as the cost of a college education, college admission requirements, the choice of college according to vocational aims, and the directing wisely those who lack qualities necessary for a college education. The group was divided into committees which reported back to the club on these various aspects. Among the topics of these reports were, Cost of Going to College, Admission Requirements, Methods of Admission, Which College, Personality and Character Requirements, Who Should go to College, and Scholarships and Student Help. After the reports, questions were asked from the floor. During the year the club had several guest speakers including Mr. John Young, assistant superintendent of schools, and Mr. Frank McKee, an authority on this subject. The officers of this club are: president, Harvey L. Friedman, vice-president, Sey- mour Baum, secretary, Elinor Zeluffg corresponding secretary, Ruth Bacon, and treasurer, Norman Birnbaum. Dean Mary Gallahue is the sponsor of the club. Page Sixty-nine W' by 1 1 -VFX ' f ie Saw r f' Mi: 7,1 , 'Z 2 TX?

Junior Closs The Junior Class was organized in May, 1937, under the sponsorship of Mrs. Lillian Altman. Class officers were elected, and plans were made for the coming year's activities. The first Junior affair was given in the cafeteria by the girls to welcome the sophomore girls to Bassick. The party offered a hilarious opportunity for all to get acquainted amid community singing, drama, entertainment, games, and refreshments. The first Junior dance was The Pumpkin Hap held on October 8 in the auditorium, which was gaily decorated in Hallowe'en colors. Karl Graf's orchestra furnished the music. On February 2 the girls sponsored the Junior Mother's Tea, with about one hundred seventy-live parents and teachers attending. The social activities for the year were closed by the Junior Frolic held in the auditorium on May 20. Page Seventy , i. ..-.1 ,T.

Junior Teo On February 4, 1937, the girls of the Class of 1938 entertained the parents of the Junior Class. Tea was served to each guest and a social gathering followed. The Bassick Faculty attended the affair and had an opportunity to meet the parents. Eleonore Lange, Roberta Niesley, and Miriam Morris rendered several piano selections. The Junior girls provided the cake, made the tea, acted as hostesses, and decor- ated the school library. Red and White was the predominant color scheme. At five o'clock in the afternoon a weary hut happy group of girls left Bassiclc glowing with the happiness of success.

If a girl desires to play and her home-room has no team she may become a member of the X team. This team cannot earn as many points as a home-room team. In the sophomore league there were eleven teams. In the first round 212 defeated 195 203 defeated 1105 305 defeated 3155 108 defeated 175 112 defeated 15. In the second round 203 defeated 2125 108 defeated 3055 112 defeated X. In the semi-finals 108 defeated 2035 112 defeated 213. In the finals 108, captained by Helen Meyers' Won the Soph. championship by defeating room 112. In the Junior league 214 defeated 2045 217 defeated 2015 116 defeated X 5 217 defeated 214. Then 116 captained by Elinor Anderson Won the Junior class champion- ship. The picture on this page is one of Home Room 303. This room was Junior Cham- pions last year, but fell in the third round this year.

Basketball Champions There were 12 teams in the senior league, and every game was a real thriller. ln the first round 314 defeated 206, 303 defeated 118, 207 defeated 103 defeated 306, 310 defeated 312, 311 defeated 304. ln the second round 303 defeated 314, 207 defeated 103. ln the semi-finals 207 defeated last year's Junior champions 303, 310 defeated 311. In the final game room 207 captained by Peggy Bitzer defeated room 310 captained by Betty Hawley. In the inter-class play off the Junior team defeated the Sophomore team by the score of 30-24. The Senior-Junior play-off was a hair raiser. This game had to be played one lovely spring evening. At the half the score was Seniors 12, Juniors 11. The final score was Seniors 22, Juniors 21. High scorer and an outstanding player was Anne Kon- drativv, a Junior. Also on the Junior team was Elinor Anderson, Helen Chmura, Marcia Ashkins, Eleanor Ballog, Helen Abbot, Marjorie Bowen, and Helen Brady. The Senior team is pictured above.

Soccer Soccer and volley ball are called minor sports because of the system of organ- ization. The Sophomore class had one soccer team with Dorothy Anger as captain. Although the Junior team, captained by Martha Choate, defeated the Sophomore team 2-O, 6-O we are expecting a much closer contest next year. The Senior class had two teams, the championship team captained by Irene Homko and an equally strong team captained by Ann Choate. In this play-off the score was 2-2, 4-2, 4-2. In the junior-senior play-off the score was 0-2 in favor of the juniors, 4-2, 4-2, in favor of the seniors. Each member of the winning team received 25 points. At the time this was written the volley ball tournament was just getting under Way. Strong teams have been entered by all classes and the championship is anyones. Soccer has been growing in popularity each year. We hope that with the completion of the Harvey Went Field to add Field Hockey to our fall program.

Rl cl I ng Riding, hiking, and bowling are individual events that begin in the fall. Last fall two hikes were held, one to Ninety Acres and one to the Cascades. More will be planned for the spring. A girl may earn not more than twenty five points in this event. One point is awarded for each mile that the girl walks. Jean Walsh is our manager this year. Outstanding in bowling, we have Ann Choate, Geraldine Lineburgh, Margaret Palanchar, and our very efficient manager Blanche Farina. To date Ann Choate is high single string scorer with a pin fall of 124. A girl may earn two points a week by bowling 80. High man for the year receives 25 more points. Mary Rock is manager of the riding group. As yet we have not awarded any points for this event, but when our group is large enough we would like to hold a Gymkahama. Peggy Bitzer is our most enthusiastic horsewoman. Page Seventy-seven LEFT TO RIGHT:-Jane Hancox, Martha Choate, Ann Choate and Betty Hawley. Tennis Tennis, track, and swimming are spring individual events. That is each girl works for herself-no team is necessary. In swimming events our two Andersons, Elinor and Jeanne are outstanding. Marjorie Mason, Betty Hawley, Bernice Randall, Jane Henry, Virginia Gregory, Jean Hughes and our manager Ruth Zeluff will also be among our Winners. In track events we will find Blanche Farina, Bernice Randall, Betty Hawley, and Martha Choate up front. Bernice Randall is manager of this sport. In tennis we still have two ex-champions here at school. Ann Choate who was champion in 1936 and Jane Hancox who beat Ann last year for the 1937 champion- ship. Ann Choate and Betty Hawley have been double champs for two years-'37 and '38. Jane Hancox, our tennis manager, has written to Junior College, Central, Harding, Fairfield, Westport, and Stratford asking the girls in these schools if they would care to play a friendly match with our tennis players at Bassick. We are looking forward to these matches as well as our hard fought tournament. Page Seventy-eight 4 FIRST ROW :-William Kohler, Robert Holmes, William Siering, capt.g Robert Bradley.

Tennis Our tennis season started off with a bang, and the first three schools we met went down. A rain storm in Bridgeport and a fair day in Danbury caused a mix-up and we lost a forfeit match to that team. Fairfield then took the boys on an off day and things did not look very bright. The State Tournament, however, gave the team a chance to really show their stuff. We carried off second honors when Holmes entered the finals in the singles event with Kane of Stratford. Holmes was not quite equal to the strokes of Kane and lost a close match. William Siering captained the team.

This is our third year in the sport, and we have climbed from a lowly beginning to second place in the State Association, whose membership numbers thirteen high schools of the state. Hart- ford Public has been champion of the State for the past four years, while all the other schools scramble for second place. This year it fell to Bassick, followed closely by Crosby. Our hnal standing in the league was .778 having won seven out of nine meets. In the state individual championships at Yale, Robert Tellalian took second in the 220 yard free style and third in the 100 yard free style. Robert Warren took a third also in the diving.

We started off with a nice win over West Haven and then proceeded to lose four of the next five games. Just to renew the confidence of the folks in the law of averages, we waded in and won all the rest of the games, live in number. The rain washed out one game, and the season ended up with seven wins and four defeats. To show Mr. Ripley just how weird a ball game can be, Moe Check pitched a no-hit game against New Canaan but lost 1 to O. He accomplished this by hitting one batter and walking the next three. Moe was wild-so was Mr. Harrington. John Maloney is the 1938 captain and may he have lots of luck.

Basketball The Christmas holidays of 1937 came and brought with them a horde of happy alumni eager to strut about for the first time before wondering eyes of the under- graduates. Trailing along was the Alumni basketball team, the only uniformed alum- ni team in the state-that we know of. And were they out to trim their poor old alma mater. They stumbled and fell, but probably they were happy that Bassick had a team good enough to beat them. After a bad week-end of three defeats, we Won four in a row. Hillhouse tipped us and then we won live more in a row. Bassick was placed eighth in the state in the state ratings and won its right to enter the Tourn- ament by defeating New Haven Commercial. Bad luck on the Part of some of the other top ranking teams in the preliminary round left us seeded in fourth position. Paired with Derby in the championship round was not lucky for us, however. We lost and hung up the green and white satins for the year. Our chief claim to fame is the fact that Bassick has been the only Bridgeport team in the championship round of the State Tournament since 1935. Norman Ritchel and Charles Petrushonis are co-captains for 1939. Page Eighty-two . . . l- .l l- - . . i illli- ll.. 11- ..ll.

Football The 1937 football season brought forth nothing which made us puff up with pride. In the first place, the team vvas deprived of its regular coach, Mr. Harrington, and secondly We had a nine game schedule including some of the major high schools of the state and Westchester County. Our early season victory over Central was one bright spot, while the very line stand the team made against Hartford Public eased some of the sorrow of other defeats. Another bitter pill was the Fairfield game on Thanksgiving. Bassick tallied ten first downs to one for Fairfield and outrushed them 156 to 74 yardsg but when Fate paid off, Fairfield had gathered three points on a last minute field goal, and all We saved from the mud-pie, was the fact that we pushed them all over the fieldfyet lost -small consolation. With Mr. Harrington back at the helm with the help of Capt. Herbie Rapposch and the old station wagon, it seems we must go places in the 1938 season.

First: To the Board of Education goes our heartfelt appreciation for all the privileges that we have enjoyed during our brief stay in our beautiful school. Second: To our understanding principal, Mr. Jeffery, we leave another group of students who will attempt to live up to our ideals and standards.
