Resolutions are presented by delegates and are discussed and voted upon in the usual democratic manner of yeas and nays As the United States government's purpose is to keep peace among the states and to maintain the spirit of democracy by a repre- sentative form of government, the purpose of the Student Council is to keep harmony between the faculty and adminis- tration and the student body. Following the tradition of American ideals, the Student Council is interested in giving aid to such charities as may warrant it. This year, they have contributed a tidy little sum to benefit the lVest Side Boys' Club, believing that just such contributions will promote the welfare of the future leaders of America. The Council also plays a part annually in the Red Cross Drive. This year money was donated by the student body and collected by the Student Council. The faculty adviser is Nlrs. Katherine I .

Senior Delegates The skeleton in the closet of the Senior Class is the group of class delegates. These representatives are the framework which supports the classy chassis of I9-I-2. Yes, indeed, if it weren't for these guys and gals, we just couldn't hold together. They meet once a month to discuss class business and plan our successful activities. Their job is to keep their home rooms in contact with the senior oflicers and their grand adviser, llfliss Helen C. Anderson. These toilers also have the morbid job of tapping each senior for his contribution to the old class coffers. We pause a moment in tribute to their unhappy, overworked souls . . . Cpausel. These administrators of the affairs of the Senior Class were elected in the home-rooms when we were still unimportant, ignorant juniors. Cls it possible?J But since the proof of the pudding lies in the eating, their successful record proves we weren't so dumb after all. CWe knew it all the time.l 53 ' Class History Now that our days at Bassick High School have drawn to an unavoidable close, we, the Senior Class of 1942, look back to that momentous occasion of three years ago when for the first time we passed through the portals of our beloved Bassick. Now with lagging tread and heavy heart we make ready to depart for the last time through those very same gates by which we entered. During our sophomore year the basketball team won everything from the city title to the coveted New England championship and the players were accorded the many honors which they so richly deserved. ln the spring of 1940 we organized as a class under the sponsorship of Miss Helen Anderson. Class officers were chosen to represent us for the coming junior year. The very capable leaders selected were as follows: President, Robert Anderson, Vice President, Clara Bereczg Secretary, Doris Andresen, Treasurer, Robert Lesser, and Director of Social Activities, Agnes llflolloy. VVe were no longer down-trodden sophomores, but respected juniors as we strode proudly into Bassick in September, 19-1-0. The first social event was the very novel and informal Sadie Hawkins Hop, with whirling square sets and Tom Curley's snappy swing arrangements. The affair was highly successful as well as enjoyable. A Two weeks later, the very English Mr. Eastwood Adams lectured on that romantic land of odd creatures, strange peoples, and curious weapons-Australia. Motion pictures illustrating the subjects of his talk and his demonstration of how to throw a boomerang made his lecture both interesting and instructive. lylarch 13 marked the date of the Junior Mothers' Tea, at which we junior girls and our adviser, Miss Helen Anderson, served as hostesses to the faculty and the mothers of the eleventh grade students. .Orders for class rings were taken at the beginning of April. During the latter part of the same month a fashion show sponsored by the junior girls was staged in the gym as part of the annual All Girls' Day activities. We shall never' forget the gaiety of the show, at which time the girls had the opportunity to promenade before an appreciative audience of sports-minded lassies. There was a lavish display of Hnery and folly. Among the lovelier examples of fashion were Anne O'lVlalley, Elaine Osborne, Ulla Roghart, and Carolyn Clark. The fugitives from the nineteenth century were most ably represented by Sally Bed- worth and Joanne Stiles. lt was a hilarious success. On May 9 the long awaited Junior Frolic, the biggest social function of the year, took place in the school auditorium. The event was also the occasion for the presentation and coronation of the May Queen, a ceremony which was conducted amidst much pomp and gaiety. ' . The election of officers who were to represent the class during our last year aroused much excitement. So successful had our junior year been, that we re- elected the same oflicers to administer our affairs during our all-important senior year. In September, 1941, we became seniors, perhaps the greatest responsibility of our hitherto unburdened lives. Our first assembly as lords and masters of the school was conducted by our class president, Robert Anderson. On Saturday, October 11, sleepy-eyed seniors arrived at Bassick for the annual class trip to West Point. Busses transported the group to New York and the Alex- ander Hamilton carried the three hundred or so Bassickites to the Point. After the game, in which Army defeated V.lVI.l., everyone enjoyed a superb dinner at Bear Mountain Inn, and roller skating climaxed the end of a perfect day. The senior play, 'fStage Door, was a complete success, and the brilliant acting of Dory Andresen and Bob Loecher made it an extremely enjoyable performance. It also brought forth very fine dramatic talent in the persons of Connie Smith and Erwin Mott in the supporting roles. The amusing effect of Bob Gervais' and Stan- ley Berger's cigars added to our enjoyment. The vile attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7 precipitated the United States into the greatest conflict the world has ever seen. Several members of the class of '42 answered the call to colors shortly after the outbreak of hostilities. Among those who volunteered for the navy were the following: Stanley Kost, John Hastie, How- ard Tomlin, and Harvey Sherman. Besides these, our first and only draftee, William Gecsey, registered for service in our armed forces. The spirit of Christmas predominated at the Senior Frolic on December 12. Santa Claus, in the person of Herb Tiny Zokas, distributed presents to the foot- ball teamg the most appropriate being a bottle of Tom Collins Mix to next year's football captain, Thomas Patrick Joseph Collins, Jr. The gala affair was a huge SUCCESS. The next event was the annual Senior Mothers' Tea. The music provided by Mary Ellen Keller and Beverly Solorow insured an enjoyable afternoon for mothers, faculty, and girls. Laurels to the fine committee that made the affair a success. All Girls' Day arrived according to schedule on April 23. A committee under the new gym instructress, Miss Myrtle Berger, worked hard to make the rally a memorable success. Ar our last class meeting on May 21, 1942, our class officers and able adviser bade us farewell and concluded a well-done job. On June 5, 1942, we met as a group for the last time before graduation. There was fun and frolic for all in an informal afternoon spent in reminiscing over our past experiences. June 11, 1942, was the date of the long-awaited prom. We enjoyed ourselves beyond our fondest expectations. But at last on June 18 and 19 came our graduation! It was the happiest and yet the saddest day we had yet encountered. And now, as we venture forth to conquer new Worlds, imbued with courage and determination to subdue those obstacles which Life will surely fling into our paths, may we be ever guided toward the successful attainment of our goals by the inspiring motto of our class: f'Onward ever, backward never. ARTHUR SAMUELSON AGNES MoLLoY FANNY SELLAS +1 WEST POINT That roar you all heard about 5:30 on the morning of October ll, 19-ll, was just 304 alarm clocks doing their duty. For the seniors had been threatened with all sorts of drastic measures if they weren't at Bassick at 6:-l-5. And, though we didn't think they could do it, there they were on the dot, ready and rarin' to go. At seven, a buzzing mob of shivering Bassickites boarded the nine buses, and started on their way, joyously singing together in every key from A to Z. Arriving at the Hudson River Day Line Dock, the now wide-awake gang boarded the xllexanrlrfr Hamilton and proceeded to annoy the rest of the passengers while steaming up the Hudson. Finally VVest Point was reached, and the happy holidayers headed for Klichie Stadium and the Army-V.lYI.l. game. According to the fellows, the game was super, according to the girls, the cadets4welll 56 45' SENIOR TRIP After this, the hungry crowd invaded Bear llfountain lnn for dinner, where they did them- selves proud with cheers, songs, and other tidbits. Then, everyone Cwell, almostl donned skates and proceeded to Zip all over the huge rink like so many Supermeng and when at 8:-l-5 the y were cordially invited to leave for the buses, it seemed as if things were just starting. At approximately midnight, the gang arrived safely home, weary and ready for bed. Now, forgetting this idle chatter, the Class of '42 wishes to express its sincere appreciation to Kliss A nderson, its class adviser, and to the rest of the chaperons, whose cooperation enabled the Senior Class to have such a wonderful day. 57 Class Will We, the Class of 1942, of Bassick High School, City of Bridgeport, County of Fairfield, State of Connecticut, United States of America, being of sound mind and body, realizing that the virtues and worldly knowledge we have acquired during the past three, four, and in some cases five years, cannot be excelled, graciously dis- pose of them as follows: First: to Mr. Jeffery, our esteemed principal, we leave our deep appreciation for his Wise and kind guidance during our years here.

Senior Mothers' Tea l3assick's own Peacock Alley was gay and glittering on the afternoon of hlarch 25, in honor of the Senior Niothers' Tea. At the same time many a male heart did flip-flops as our own senior beauties strutted through the halls bedecked in the latest spring fashions. To keep the spirit of '42, the rooms were decorated in maroon and white to match the class banner. The girls even used maroon carnations in the center piece, and maroon can- dles on the table. Clever people, these seniors! Mary lCllen Keller and Beverly Solorow entertained with music, hut we think they missed their cue when they failed to play Deep Purple. ln these pleasant surroundings, the mothers and memhers of the faculty relaxed and talked things over. As for the daughters,f well-what with keeping one eye on the guests, the other on the food, and hoping that lVIiss. . ........ and lyiom didn't accidentally run into each other-they had just about time to hreathe. Bliss Helen C. Anderson, hirs. Cecile Church, lkliss Alice Ballard, Kliss Florence Huntress, lNIr. VVarren Brown, Nlr. Henry VValsh, and hir.

VVhatta performancel lfven the critics from the peanut gallery thought PN it was good. The drama told the story of the trials and tribulations of aspiring actresses deep in the heart of Broadway. The story is an old one, but as played by the thespians of the Class of Y-PZ, it took on new life. ' Dory Andresen, Bob Loecher, and Erwin Xlott handled the roles with the ease of vet- erans. The whole cast made the best of what little comedy there was, and even added some of their own. Remember when Duane Hull unveiled that picture of Connie Smith, which was turned with the blank side toward the audience. Then to top it off, lllarv Ann Sher- wood exclaimed before she realized what was going on, lsn't it beautifull lllr. XVarren Brown, illr. Henry xVillSll, bliss Alice Harrigan, bliss Helen Anderson, Miss Betty .lane Allen, Miss lllary Nichols, and their committees all deserve credit for their backstage assistance that made the affair one of the most successful of the year. 61 GIRL Agnes Nlolloy Audrey Anderson Agnes Molloy Bette Houston Sally Bedworth Bernice Candee Rosalie Blank Clara Berecz ltlartha Gulyassy Louise Bevans Joanne Stiles Joanne Stiles Mary Ann Sherwood Doris Andresen Irene Bagdon Bette Houston Louise Bevans Jennie Cunningham Evelyn Biebel Audrey Anderson Irene Bagdon Mildred Halpin Doris Andresen Phyllis Brennan Sally Bedworth Martha Gulyassy Characteristics rllost Popular Best Looking Done fllort for Class rllost Inrliefizlluzl ,Host Likely lo Surveerl ,Uost Colleyiate ,Host Talkatiw fllost 1'll'iKIllHj' Quietert Cutesl Best flthlete Wizrierz fllost Uptimistir' iwost Digniyiea' fllost Artistic BOY Robert Anderson Joseph Takacs Robert Lesser Dick Oburchay Arthur Samuelson Dick Oburchay Robert Newton Harold Reinhard William Moll Glen Chatter Raymond Rapposch Louis Abriola Kenneth VValker Donald Flohr Victor Boero Robert Anderson, Robert Porter fllost PlFIlSillgI Personality fllost Vi1'ar'iou.v rllost Business-Lilee Best Naturerl ,Host Aittractifve Best Danfer illost Bashful Best Dressen' fllost Courteous flfost Reliable Fafulfy Joy Glen Chaffer Ira S.

The boys learn to put to practical use their knowledge ot decimals, fractions, and other math devices. This study prevents many confused, befuddled minds and turns the pupils in the right direction as far as shop work is concerned. MECHANICAL DRAWING Any day in Room 310 you can see some busy bees bending over drawing boards knocking out snazzy drawings of a steel cylinder as seen by a person standing on his head tive feet away. These geniuses are the Bassick Nlechanical Drawing class- es. They are preparing themselves for a life of engineering, toolmaking, drafting, or some other mechanical pursuit. PROBLEMS OF AMERICAN DEMOCRACY The members of the Problems ot American Uemocracy classes study the economic, social, and political problems that face our nation. And you may be sure that there are many of them. They also study the soluf tion of these problems. There arc scores of lucrative positions awaiting them in NVashington, lJ.C., if they can only solve the many dilemmas that now confront the nation's cap- ital. CHEMISTRY The chemistry course consists of daily textbook assignments, which in- clude ten pesky questions to be an- swered at home and the terrific equa- tions and facts within the pages :is- signed. However, the classes do find diversion from their regular textbook routine in the form of bi-weekly laboratory periods, during which they mess around with acids and bases, hoping and praying that no explosions will halt their progress. GIRLS' GYM Casey at the Bat and the Daring Young Klan on the Flying Trapeze, though justly famous, were mere cream-puffs in comparison to the lovely ladies in Bassickls gym classes. Throughout the year, these gorgeous samples of womanhood try their hands at almost everything from tiddley-winks to jiu-jitsu. Nothing daunts them in their search for the body strong and beautiful. So, if you're feeling and looking like the last rose of summer, just enroll in a gym class and get those muscles rippling with the best! COMMERCIAL ENGLISH Commercial lfnglish is a class where something new has been add- edl During the first part of the year, Bassick's contributions to the business world of tomorrow delve into the mysteries of composition and grammar. Then they spend the latter half of the year struggling with oral expression. As for the progress of this experiment, it may be summed up in a few words: So far, so good. saw!! -jf TYPEWRITING lfnrollees in the ty pewriting class- esgafter they have mastered the A, li, C's of the keyboard--are tauglht the many uses to which the typewriter may he applied. 'llhey are also subjected to timed tests, at which calm nerves are a welcome visitor. 'llhe speed and accuracy required in these classes may harry the typists at times, hut these strict standards make for efficient office employees. HOME NURSING One of the capital concerns of these home nurses is child care. Now with defense on their minds, they also spend much of their time wrap- ped up in their efforts to learn first aid. After becoming thorough with thermometers and the like, these girls do a turnahout and get a few pointers on prevention. This kind of instruction makes them some of lfncle 5am's favorite nieces. WOOD SHOP 'llhe hoys who work with tools and wood produce almost everything from a tiny hanging hookshelf to a mon- strous piece of scenery for some of Hassick's dramatic extravaganzas. It is also up to them, although not of- ficially, to keep the school in good shape hy repairing hroken seats, desks, and other miscellaneous oh- jects of timher that suffer a relapse.

Nahonal Honor SOC1etY The National Honor Society is the peppy organization ? with all the hrains. ln other words, to he a member one must have attained an average of 90? and he an all-around model guy or gal in leadership, service, character, and citizen- ship.

You seem a hit skeptical about the truth of their labor. Here's proof: They swabbed decks at the Deck Dance, Uctober 2-l. As a result of their tedious job of selecting the class banner, they became blue in the face--so did the banner.

German Club Clesundheitl is the extent of the average person's knowledge of German. 'l'he members of the German Club, however, know all the words: for the purpose of this club is to broaden its members' vocabularies through conversation, dramatics, and song. Another aim of the members is to learn of the culture and background of the old days in Germany. The tra-la-las which often float from the club room may not be too euphonious, but as the students lift their lofty voices in song, they are getting some really practical experience in the use of the German language. ln other activities, such as drzunatics, or a reasonable facsimile there- of, they are adding still more to their v-a-s-t knowledge of German. Klrs. Roberts' scoop artists often have the smell of printer's ink about them, for they publish every marking period a newspaper called Die 1Jl'llf.Vl'lItf Sflllllllli It deals with classroom activities, national topics, and has quite a few humorous and novel feature articles.

I got enough troubles as it is.'l But don't you see, Joe, youlre just what the U.B.S. is looking for. As matters stand now, the lack of male members in the Com- mercial Department makes this thing aln all-girl affair, and that ain't good. ' Handicapped as they are CU the girls are doing all right. During the Community Chest campaign, they acted as student auditors. In December, they sponsored a candy sale, and they ushered at the annual Commercial Teachers' Convention. The O.l3.S. was behind the commercial contests, toog and behind the O.B.S. was lyliss Flora Neubauer.

It can't happen here, because within Bassick is the Junior Traffic Safety Commission, whose purpose it is to see that the poor innocent pedestrians of Bassick aren't run over by maniac drivers who think they own the car, road, and universe. This club, which holds bi-monthly meetings, often hears lectures by the bigwigs of safety in Connecticut. These lectures attempt to point out what's safe and unsafe when someone is walking along the sidewalk, road, gutter, etc., minding his own business and a moron in a car comes swishing along at the merry clip of 70 or 80 miles per on a 20 m. p. h. road. The Hassick branch of the Commission is one of the many established in the high schools of Bridgeport and vicinity. The members of these clubs frequently pour forth brief talks be- fore l'. T. Afs, civic clubs, etc., pointing out that Junior should play on the sidewalk and not dash out from between parked cars to an untimely death. This group, under the supervision of Klr. VVarren L. Brown, has promoted safety within Bassick and has even cut the number of speeding and miscellaneous tickets awarded to Hassick drivers. This IS an accomplishment.

Dramatic Club '1 ,f III C I f Une of the largest and most popular clubs in Bassick is made up of a bunch of Uhamsu known in more formal circles as the Dramatic Club. These kids, who are aspiring thespians of the first water, turn out some mighty fine productions. The casts of both the Senior and Spring Plays are largely re- cruited from among their members and they also throw to- gether on the spur of the moment little one-act plays for the benefit of their fellow actors. The chief aim of this Tllififw de 1gI1A'3'if1Il!', under the di- rection of Xliss hlae hIcNulty, is to promote interest in dra- matics within our hallowed halls, and to increase the students' appreciation of the better things that the stage and screen have to offer.

And if hc-'s lucky he'll get a reasonable facsimile of Stars and Stripes Forever or some other equally stirring tune. ln other words, youlll be sitting in on another clambake of the Bassick Ur- chestra. Hut this isn't the only time that these matchless musicians make with the music. lt's their tempo that sets the pace for almost all of our assemblies. Since they're really solid senders, they're often hired out for free to participate in civic functions all over the city. They are worthy representatives of Bassick no matter where they go, because they are always in a rut. COh! excuse us, we mean in the grooved VVhether they're at Hillside Home or the Kiwanis Club, they never tail to give a good performance. hlany of the members intend to make music their career Clienny Goodman, please notelg so those silvery tones that have rung throughout Bassick's halls represent their first step on the ladder of success. - Bassick Chorus Our future' Nelson Eddys and Jeanette lVIacDonalds are enrolled in the Bassick Chorus, which is under the direction of bliss Cora DI. Purviance. 'lihe group is a veritable army--its membership totaling one hundred and seven. However, the only maneuvers they participate in are of a strictly non-combatant nature. Opera- tions for the year were a full all-music program at the Christ- mas assembly, December 225 a Bassick concert on the evening of April 305 and a l'l,et Freedom Sing program on lklay 22 at Central High School. A selected chorus furnished the sing- ing for graduation exercises on June 18 and 19. The size of the organization gives assurance to the world OW that there will not be a dearth of vocal aspirants for many years to come-a situation which is either good or bad, ac- ne-cf--v cording to the way you look at it.

Stage Crew A penthouse in New York, a Chicago stockyard, a log cabin in the Klonroe wilderness, or what have you? Given a few essentials the big, brawny QU members of the liassick Stage Crew will set up any of the above typical American scenes in the twinkling of an eye. Of course, the boys will divulge no professional secrets as they always work behind the curtain during Bassick's stage presentations. 'lihat curtain serves the stagehands another purpose alsoh they never suffer an attack of stage fright , at least they would like you to believe that. As the group is organized like a Sea Scout Ship fnaval re- cruiting otheer, please notel, don't be surprised if you hear an Aye, aye, sir, come floating out from behind the scenes. Proof that the boys love their work and school is that they perform their assignments during study periods and after the two o'clock gong rings. The skipper of the good ship Stage Crew is Mr. Wiarren L. Brown, the squad's sponsor, and the group also boasts of first, second, and third mates, a yeoman, and a quartermaster.

Unlike the hams and stagehands the artists need not be present when liassick's plays are enacted. 'liheir bit is com- pleted long before the curtain goes upg nevertheless, they play a very important part in the success of the school's dramatic ventures. Under the direction of hir. Henry Vvalsh the squad designs the sets for the Senior Play and the Spring Play. You can see, therefore, that these boys do not demur at making a scene. It is also quite evident that the artists can draw their own conclusions. XVorking hand-in-hand with the group are hir. john F. Buckley and his wood shop classes, who erect the sets designed by the members of the Scenic Artists. lt is possible for the Scenic Artists to attain the unique dis- tinction of being one of the audience even though they con- tribute an important part to the proceedings on the stage. 'lihey're definitely key men, but are still able to take things easy on the big night and complacently witness the labors of the cast and stage crew. M., 'Hn .... ... 1.

These literary geniuses really put the best hours of their lives into assembling group and individual photographs, writing grinds for each senior, digging up the extra-curricula activities of all seniors, writing captions for group photos, identifying faces in group pictures, and writing the class will, history, and prophecy. The members of the stali have been meeting each day at two p. m.: and under the guidance of llliss Catherine Cullinan and of their charming editor-in-chief, Sally liedyyorth, have slaved until the sun sank in the west. 'lihe yearbook has come to be more than just a senior meni- ory boolcg it is a true picture of Bassiclc seniors-their activities, sports, and class room studies.

The bibliophiles who are members of this group care for our library by repairing worn books and cata- loguing new ones. 'lihey also stamp library cards when some industrious soul wants to take out a tome for reading or other sinister purposes. 'libey pick up all the tricks of the trade from their adviser, Bliss Natalie R. Lamb, who knows all there is to know about running an eflicient library. The girls, for it is strictly a female affair, are also in charge of the exhibits held every now and then in the library for the benefit of . . . of . . . well, anyone who happens to be ambling by the library door at the second the show opens. As in past years the Library Squad also pours when the faculty drops in for a spot of tea some sunny day in the Spring. bliss Lamb and her flock, in general, keep the reading matter of liassick spic and V Y A as 1.4149-,.u span and ever ready for the taking.

Spring Play Ever Since Eve , a merry little melodrama, was the production offered by the local thespians on April the seventeenth. Although the play lacked a single hatchet murder, a black-face number, or a trained seal, nevertheless it held its audience breathless from the opening tussle to the final clinch. The plot had to do with the troubles of four would-be editors when they attempted to put the Christmas edition of a high school newspaper. Naturally, everything possible occurred to johnny, our hero and editor-in-chiefg and naturally, Susan, our heroine, was the cause of all his difficulties, which included measles rinter's bills a rather mixed-um tto nut in mildlyll Christmas edition, and i P v l l . the loss of a beauteous Southern charmer. However, naturally, Cthere we go againl Susan did get her man, and Johnny did get his position on an honest-to-goodness paper. llliss Mae lllcxulty again accomplished tht- almost impossible by polishing up eleven diamonds in the rough and turning them into a team of Barrymores. To hir. Henry lf. NValsh, lllr. Alohn F. Buckley, and their student associates must go a bunch of petunias for the snazzy setting they whipped up like so much cream. The effective lighting of the production was due to the manipula- tions of llr. Yvarren L. Brown at the switch. The big buildup received by the play must be credited to Kliss Alice Harrigan's inspired publicity. Baby carriages, lawn mowers, typewriters, and wring- ers were supplied by hliss Betty -lane Allen's properties committee. 95 - w x Q 1 2 1, i 1 i Front Rmw: Thomas- Collins, Kenneth Walker, joseph Makauskas, Victor Boero, Richard Oburchay, Raymond Rapposch--co-captain, Robert Anderson-co-captain,VVilliam Moll, Edmund MacCollin, julius Gold, Albert Strelecky, Edward Sheehan.

Co-captains, Bob Anderson and Ray Rapposch, and other outstanding players, although they did noble work on the gridiron, saw the team win only one game, while losing four during a tough and tiring campaign. The gridders looked like a football team until they reached the opponents' fifteen or twenty yard line. From there they would not budge, much like a stubborn mule. This turned out to be a most perplexing problem and caused no end of anxiety for Coach Harrington and other leaders of the team. 'llhe work of many players stood out during the season, but the team members themselves thought that the outstanding performance was turned in by Kenny VValker. At the end of the season the letter men elected Tom Collins captain of the 1942 team. 08 Firxt Rofw: Raymond Rapposch-manager, Fred Daly-co-captain, joseph Takacs-co-captain, Mr. Henry S Lyon-coach.

Basketball . . . 1942 A -e ,Q For the seventh time in its existence Bassick High has been represented in the state basketball tournament. This time the Lions entered with a record of nine wins and seven losses. Torrington High's team, however, brought the Bassick sea- son to an end on iwarch 2 in a qualifying-round game at the New Haven Arena, capitalizing on twenty-seven personal fouls by Bassick players. Our team captured third place in the county conference league, finishing behind Central and Danbury, who both beat the Lions twice during the campaign. Une of Danbury's vic- tories was a thrilling overtime -l-5--l-l win in the Bassick gym. The cagers' outstanding triumph was their great comeback victory over the Harding team in the two teams' first encounter of the year in the Harding gym. VVesley Ritchel, third of the now famous basketball brothers, was elected to serve as captain of the 19-l-2--l-3 cage team, succeeding Joseph Takacs and Fred Daly, who turned in creditable performances during this season as co-captains of the Lyonmen.

'lihe natators had splashed to wins over six schools, while dropping hut two meets, these to Hartford Public and VVaterbu1'y Crosby. As a result of their fine showing during the season, the squad was ranked as the third best in the state, being preceded by the two schools that beat them in their only defeats. ln the state swimming meet at Yale's exhibition pool, the Lions picked up four second places, one third, and a tie for fourth in another event, again showing their prowess to other state aquatic squads. Besides ranking third in the state, the team also won the city championship with decisive victories over Central and Harding. Many of the squad's best swimmers are seniors and will not be hack next year, however, the number of capable members who will return promises another good season. THE RECORD , Uppunfnlx .

G.A.L.A. - 'lihe members of the Girls' Athletic Leaders' Association are those femmes, who, between the ages of three and nine Z or so could be found climbing trees or playing an exciting game of cops and robbers. A tomboy background, however, is X not the only requirement for admission into this athletic Q sorority. Un the other hand, a gal must attain 90? in gym, or scrape together fifty or more points by doing such things as hiking a few hundred tniles, sinking 99 out of a 100 baskets, or executing a few double Hips into a foot or so of Hifi. 'lihe organization is famous for the lovely little outfits the K pledgees are forced to sport around as part of their initiation. 'lihe members have also thrown some nifty candy sales this year, and sponsored the ever popular All Girls' Day jamboree, at which the members outdid each other in all sorts of con- tests from rope-jumping to potato races and all stuff like that therel 'lihe association had three advisers this year: llrs. lfdith , 1 .

Chess Club This year will rank as a memorable one in the annals of llassick's chess history. It was the first time the Chess Club failed to cop the championship of the Southern Connecticut Chess League, of which it is a member. This feat had become almost as certain as death and taxes, judging by past records! but the present squad finds itself in the unprecedented position of an also-ran. Uvershadowed as they are hy former figures, the present team's scores look quite deflated. However, if past experiences are frogotten, the current squad's record shapes up as being a fair one. The club won -l tilts, tied 5, and dropped -l to their foes-across-the-board. The lllessrs. Albert Fleischer and Frank Ham, unhappy over the current showing, are looking forward to next year, hoping that the derailed llassick Flyer can get hack on the right track. Undoubtedly, they woud not mind playing a full schedule with Staples, their favorite cousin this season. 'l'Iili RECORD Ifn,fyi4'I.- Upponfntr lia5.rir'k Upponrntx 5 . . Staples . . . 0 ZH . .

Highlights of the campaign may be summed up, thus: Doe Nelson was an all- around star, against Danbury he attempted to make a putout in right field from his shortstop's position-Roy Green, after getting hardly a hit all season, knocked out a home run in the first Harding game-Luckner struck out three Harding players in a row in the ninth inning of the first encounter with tying and winning runs on the bases-Ray Rapposch's favorite spot for hitting the apple was behind the score board in right center Held-Harold Rohlman turned out to be the most promising rookie of the year-and Rapposchys lusty .444 boosted the team's batting average to about .295-Coach -Har- rington looks forward to a promising 1942 season with the return of many of last yearls stars.

This gives a much better idea -f- -T- - of the calibre of the squad than the records would seem to Wil - imply.
