The rooms in which the tea was held were bright with red and white flowers and crepe paper decorations in the patriotic color scheme. lfach mother and teacher wore an identification card in the form of a tiny American flag. This tea gave the mothers an opportunity to meet the teachers socially and the girls themselves practice in the art of entertaining. Tiny cakes and hot tea helped to produce in everyone a friendly feeling which made this gathering a very happy occasion. 'Mi ' f ' A llrs. Church, Kliss liallard, and hliss Huntress, together with the class adviser, Kliss Donahue, and various committees of girls, worked willingly to make the tea the success which it was. Une of the most enjoyable of all the senior socials, this tea will long be one of our pleasant memories. 55 I, 0 GJ 1 ' ,ll qv ' Ft Ofv . f' ' ' Q5 nf 'fi 5 I - 1 0 tt1t4tt 't -my , Q I ...I ...cf I f in 1 Glau VVay back in the dim, forgotten past, Sept. 7, 1938, to be exact, we, the Class of 19-11, entered Bassick High School, a group of frightened, awe-stricken boys and girls, looking ahead with anticipation to the happy hours and cheerful days which we hoped awaited us. ln Maj, 1939, we were officially organized as a class, when, much to the delight of all of us, Bliss Anna L. Donahue was appointed class adviser. The first thing we did was to elect the oflicers who were to lead us during our junior year. As president we chose Julian Sohon, better known as Chien, who has justified our choice by his competent leadership in all class affairs, both social and scholastic. Rosemary C Boogy',j Keating, the good-natured young lass known to all for her winning smile, became our vice-presidentg and lovely, suave Jeanne Finney, our secretary. VVe en- trusted our financial affairs to happy-go-lucky playboy, Fred Leibyg and vivacious Nlarge Wilson, she of the gorgeous red hair, was placed in charge of our social ac- tivities. Thus equipped with capable leaders, we were prepared for an active junior year. At the first meeting of the classofficers, Sept. 1, 1939, slight adjustments had to be made. llluch to our regret, lklarge VVilson had withdrawn from our school, so Rosemary Keating took over her job as director of social activities. The runner-up for president, Ed Ham, our blond, good-looking basketball star, was made vice- president. These arrangements were accepted unanimously by the class. The auditorium, patriotically decorated in red, white, and blue, was the scene of our first social, the Junior-Get-Acquainted Dance. Although some of us were shy about asking fellow juniors to dance, the affair was a sparkling success, featuring such novelties as a broom dance, a string dance, and an elimination dance. Gene Kelly was a peppy master of ceremonies, and we were entertained by Ruth lslowitz, Peggy lWcCarthy, and Egea Dolci. On Thanksgiving Day we were sorely disappointed to see the Bassick Lions bow to the Fairheld Foxes, our rival team. The Junior Frolic, Feb, 2, was conceded by all to be the high spot of our junior year, with Elmer Wise the master of ceremonies, and Karl Graf supplying the music. Lewis Hoskins entertained us with a television demonstration on Feb. 8, 19-10. Shirley Werner televised beautifully, and Alex Kaminski was a rare sight indeed with the many colored creams on his face. Bassick was outstanding in basketball that year. After winning city, county, and state championships, we defeated the Pawtucket, R. l., team to become the New England champions. Bill McFadden scored the winning points, with Joe Oslai and Ed Ham outstanding for their brilliant playing. The girls had their fling on All Girls' Day, March 29, 19-10. A fashion show with a hilarious skit helped make the day a success. 56 Our mothers and the faculty were entertained by the junior girls at the Junior Mothers' Tea, April 10, 19-10. Many mothers found out things from the teachers which we had hoped they wouldn't. The only thing left to complete our year was the election of senior oHicers, 1Way 2-I-, 19-10. We expressed appreciation of competent service by re-electing our junior oliicers without a change. At last came the beginning of the long awaited senior year! At our first senior function, the trip to VVest Point on Oct. 5, 1940, the girls thrilled to find that cadets were really as handsome as they had hoped, and the fellows enjoyed the exciting foot- ball game which the cadets won, beating VVilliams 20-19. A delicious meal at Bear lllountain Inn, and a roller-skating party topped off the day. 'fYoung April , our senior play, was a complete sell-out by the afternoon before the performance, Nov. 22, 1940. Chic Sohon and Shirley Danenberg were very realistic lovers, with other talented members of our class contributing to the fun. Friday, Dec. 13, rolled around, but such an evil-boding date held no terrors for us, as it was the night of our Senior Frolic. In the auditorium, appropriately decorated with black cats and horse shoes, we danced again to the music of Karl Graf. Peggy lN'lcCarthy was a charming emcee , and Bette Houston, Lloyd Halpert, and others assisted her in putting on a grand entertainment. Donald Flohr of the lylodern History Club took first prize in the annual N. H. S. Question Bee on March 19, 19-11, with Jean Barnes taking second prize. The senior girls spent many busy hours dressing cupid dolls to look like characters of Shakespeare for the Library Squad Exhibit, March 20, only to have the Art De- partment take the prize. Bassick again took the honors at the Connecticut Inter-scholastic Swimming Championship, lllarch 22, 19-11. Kenny Kost, for the third successive year, was first in the 100 yard backstroke. VVith table decorations of red, white, and blue, the Senior Mothers' Tea was held on April 3, 1941. All Girls' Day was again celebrated on April 2-I-, with the customary fashion show, games, and refreshments. VVe felt that our school life was drawing to a close when, on llay 23, 19-ll, we had our final class meeting. Officers' reports were made, followed by skits from our class play. Class Day, June 6, was our last day of school, and we realized with a tinge of regret that it was nearly over. The prom came at last, June 18, 19-11, the thrill of a life timel It was truly a gay affair at the Ritz Ballroom, the girls fresh as daisies in their new evening frocks, and the boys all looking their very best. lt was our last social event as seniors, and we enjoyed it to the fullestl The following days, June 19 and 20, were graduation. VVe had at last reached the end of our high school careers-boys and girls no longer, but men and women setting forth in the world with eyes hopefully turned toward the future and what- ever it held in store. JACK ENNIS ANNE MARIE MCLAUGHLIN 57 'k i' 1 41 if Wed! '7fup On October 5 at the unearthly hour of 6:30 a. m. Hassick seniors all over town arose to gaze upon a glorious morning. By eight o'clock all were gathered together in seven comfortable buses, ready to begin their journey to VVest Point. After traveling through the colorful countryside singing at the top of their lungs, the group arrived about noon at a wooded park in New York State. Here they enjoyed the picnic lunches they had put up at home. The next thrill of the day was the ferry trip across the Hudson. Everyone piled out of the buses to watch the progress across the clear, cool-looking river. Upon their arrival at West Point, the class scattered to the four winds. Some watched the Inspection and Regimental Reviewg others strolled around visiting the many points of interest at the academy. Soon it was time to climb to Michie Stadium to see the game between Army and Williams. The excitement of the game can be imagined from the final score: 20-19 in favor of Army. Then the travelers, thrilled but chilled, journeyed to Bear Mountain Inn, where a delicious dinner warmed them and gave them strength for the evening ahead. The entertainment for the evening was roller skating, and, amazingly enough, those old seniors had sufficient energy left to whirl around the Hoor until nine o'clock. At that hour they reluctantly climbed into their buses to be- gin the homeward trip. The memorable day ended at midnight. Hut the happiness of the day will not soon be forgotten by the senior class.

For, on that long- awaited evening, Young flfiril, the Senior Play of 19-H, was pre- sented to a delighted audience. 1-es., The hilarious comedy told the story of the scrambled love affairs of the liclntyre children and their friends. After three acts of heartaches for the young people and headaches for their elders, the play finally ended happily for all concerned. Under the able direction of llliss lHae lNIcNulty the cast per- formed their roles with charm and conviction. The effectiveness of the play was greatly enhanced by the stage sets, designed and constructed by hir. VValsh, lXIr. Brown, Blr. Buckley, and their capable student assistants.

Shop The Work of the metal shop falls into four di- visions: sheet metal pattern development, sheet metal work, bar and strap iron work, and simple machine tool operation. The practical value of such a course is ap- parent to anyone who considers the extent to which modern living and civilization depend upon metals and machines. 1441 The students of the art department are given an opportunity to explore and develop their interests in the field of art and to increase their appreciation of beauty. As a result of this training. some become successful in commercial art yvorkg and others, because of a love of beauty acquired in the art classes, have a life-long en- joyable hobby. Zlechical Shep In the electrical shop course pupils study first the simpler forms of practical wiring and then progress to a course in house and automotive wiring and repairing of portable home electrical equipment. Strict observance of the National Electrical Code is stressed. Safety in the home use of electricity and first aid for shock are also featured in the course. iolag. The purpose of the course in elementary hiologv is to develop scientific thinking and attitudes and to im- part information concerning our living environment. This aim is accomplished through the study of the origin, growth, improvement, and inter-dependence of plants, animals, and human heings. Gaakincj. The ahilitv to prepare appetizing, well-balanced meals is useful to girls all through their lives. ln order to develop this ahilitv the cooking classes teach pupils scientific food values, efficiency in the purchasing and preparation of food. and a knowledge of canning and preserving. Training is also given in serving and tahle setting. paacfice Office Practice is a course which teaches advanced seniors in the commercial curriculum the duties ot a xvell- trained, efficient secretary. Among the skills which are mastered in this course are tvpexvriting, transcribing shorthand, and using modern ofhce equipmentfsuch as voice-writing, duplicating, and adding machines. Jfaane planning Ulm! Zn ' Home Planning is a practical course open to junior and senior girls. These girls study home management! the budgeting of time, money, food, etc. They are also taught the principles of good design in the planning and decoration of houses. Perhaps most important of all, they are made aware of the problems involved in human relationships. Because poise, self-confidence, and assurance are needed in the business world by high-school graduates, a half-year course in oral English for commercial seniors was begun this year. The course is divided into three parts: dramatic interpretation, poetry study, and per- sonality building. Thirty-three pupils were enrolled this year. In September all commercial seniors will be required to take this course. Cooperation between the United States and the countries of Latin America depends ultimately upon the degree of understanding that develops between the peo- ple of the two continents. In an effort to foster this un- derstanding, our schools are again offering courses in Spanish. This study of Spanish will aid materially in making the Latin Americans our friends, for ignorance is usually the real cause of suspicion and distrust. uniofz. Glafuiwl .E The -lunior Classical League is a national organization affiliated with the American Classical League. Students of the Cicero and Vergil classes are eligible to join.

' lt helps them to develop an interest in music, to improve their tech- nique, to learn the cooperation required in unison playing, and to be- come acquainted with various styles of conducting. Interest thus stimulated may lead to a musical career or to an appreciation of music which will bring life-long pleasure. ln the course of the school year the group has entertained at nearly all Bassick assemblies, the Senior Play in November, the Spring Play in lylarch, a Kiwanis Club dinner at the Stratfield Hotel, and the graduation exercises.

The club is com- posed largely of boys from shop classes and is sponsored by Klr. lVarren L. Brown. Some of the productions on which these boys worked during the year were Young xlpril and fum' illnfl. They also arranged the platform for all assembly programs and concerts. The work of the stage crew begins many weeks before the actual presentation of a play, and reaches a climax on the night of a per- formance. Then the boys, after arranging the stage, wait for the first cue, turn down the house lights, and open the curtain. During the play they produce the required sound effects. At the close of each act they lower the curtain and go on stage to reset furniture. After the final curtain, it is they who light the auditorium, strike the set, and leave everything in apple-pie order. After that there is nothing to be done until the next perfor- mance. ond Saloomey, Stephen Szilagyi, Robert Loecher, Mr. NVarren L. Brown, Robert Newton, Louis Papp, VValter Gattert Sfcond Row!

Because of the emphasis which national defense placed on flying, there was a demand for a club of this nature, which would be informative and instructive. The first meeting was attended by fifty-three members who desired to study the theory of flight and the practice of piloting. A ground school course was set up and government publica- , tions used as texts. In llay an examination on the work of the year was conducted. The three receiving highest ratings were awarded T, ' ' half-hour practice flights at the local airport, where they were in fi actual control of the plane in the air.
