Bef cause our first reunion may occur in the notfsofdistant future, it is our intention to arrange a second reunion, the date of which shall be determined at the time of the first reunion. The Alumni Com' mittee in charge of these reunions ,shall consist of the class officers and the authors of this pact. They shall disclose a dehnite place of reunion three weeks in advance of the gathering. This information shall be posted in the school lobby and shall appear in the daily newspapers. At this gathering, all members of the class, regardless of occupation or residence, are expected to attend, either alone or with wife and husband. No one shall appear inferior or superior to his fellow classmates, nor shall anyone be intentionally absent through lack of success. It is our sincere hope and prayer that the date of our reunion shall be in the near future in order that we may honor especially those of the class who shall have contributed their efforts in the armed forces to our winning of the war.

How far away that seemed when on September 3, 1941 we, the Class of 43 crossed the threshold of Bassick High School, immature and awe-stricken children looking anxiously forward with mingled hope and fear to the days ahead. In March, 1941, we were organized as a class under the guidance of Miss Marion C. Larkin, our capable and unassuming class adviser. Our first task was to elect the officers who were to represent us during our junior year. We nominated candidates on May 12, 1941, and three days later we elected our officers. Thomas Brothers was chosen as president. He has filled this office ably by his excellent leadership in all class activities. Vivacious Doris Forsberg was our choice for vicefpresidentg and the demure Hildegarde Woyt became our efficient secretary. We placed Roger Olander, the financial wizard, in charge of our treasury, and elected ,Mary Riley, the epitome of perfection in leadership, personality, and versatility in handling her diversified duties, as director of social activities. These competent leaders together with Miss Larkin were formally introduced at the first class meeting on june 13, 1941, and thus the class prepared for their forthcoming junior year. In September 1941 as we returned to school once more, we felt quite elated since we were now juniors. Not yet the top men, but by no means the underdogs October 24, 1941 was the date of our Navy Day Deck Dance aboard the S.S. Bassick. The juniors spent the evening dancing and entertaining to the music of Karl Graf and his orchestra. The affair was a tremendous success and earned for us an enviable reputation. It was our misfortune to learn of the sneak attack of the japanese on Pearl Harbor, December 7, 1941. This catastrophe brought the United States into the greatest conflict of history, and many of our boys immediately volunteered their serv' ices. The day will indeed remain with us as one of the blackest in the lives of all Americans. The first order for our pins and rings was taken on january 13, 1942. In the following month we chose our class colors of navy blue and white, and ordered the class banner. On March 20 the banner was presented to the class by our president, Thomas Brothers, at our first sponsored assembly. Mr. Burton L. jackson, the Mar imba King, entertained us with some classical and popular selections at this assembly. On St. Patrick's Day, March 14, the junior girls entertained at the Mothers' Tea. Our own Peacock Alley was adorned with Irishfgreen decorations and flowers. The girls on the committee deserve credit for making the tea the success that it was. In the early part of April, the annual fashion show was held on All Girls' Day with the junior girls again conducting the ceremonies. The latest spring styles were modeled by our gorgeous beauties, and the affair was a social success. Our junior year was drawing to a close, and we again had to elect officers to represent us in our important senior year. Since our junior year had been such a successful one, on May 23, 1942, we elected the same officers as a recognition of their loyal and efiicient service. With the coming of September, 1942, we became seniors and assumed the greatest responsibility of our otherwise carefree lives. We now had the task before us of leading the school in all affairs. The Hrst senior assembly of the year was the sponsored assembly Musical Hits of 1942 BC. which proved to be both educational and entertaining. Our first class meeting as seniors was held on October 2, 1942 when plans of the year were laid out by the officers. At this time, we also learned of Thomas Class History Brothers' election to the office of Governor of Connecticut Boys' State, a compliment to his abilities as a leader and as a speaker. ' The senior play, Every Family Has One, was finally presented on December 4, after being unavoidably postponed because of fuel oil rationing. june Watson and Thomas Brothers were the realistic lovers in the cast while Marion Lindholm, Joan Morris, Mortimer Bernstein, George Paul, Barbara Seim, Eunice'Anne Whitney, Laurette Barry, jane May, Robert Moskovitz, and Charles Pulaski provided the humorous element. We solemnly observed the anniversary of the attack on Pearl Harbor on Monday, December 7, 1942. We had been in the war for one year, and we were truly begin' ning. to realize the seriousness of war and all that it signified. The spirit of Christmas predominated at the Senior Frolic on December 11. With two huge Christmas trees, candles, and lanterns, the auditorium was indeed the scene of a White Christmas. Don-Roy's orchestra provided the music, and the event was a gala success. Incidentally, we had an honored guest at both the Junior and Senior Dances in the person of a small feline who made his presence quite secure at the Christmas Dance with Miss Cooney as his charming chaperone. On the same day, the eighteenfyearfold boys registered for the draft under the new prof visions of the Selective Service Law. On january 14, 1943, the final order of pins and rings was taken. With the decorations blue and white, the class colors, the Senior Mothers' Tea was held on March 17, 1943. An enjoyable afternoon was had by both the faculty and the mothers. All Girls' Day was celebrated on May 5, with the usual fashion show, games, and refreshments. At our final class meeting the ofiicers bade us a fond adieu, and Miss Larkin our class adviser thanked us for our cooperation and assistance in making our years at Bassick the very pleasant ones they were. We were fortunate to have had such an able and considerate adviser. Without Miss Larkin our efforts would have been in vain. She was always a splendid inspiration. On May 28 came our long awaited prom at the Ritz Ballroom. The girls looked their very best in their summer gowns, and the boys looked most distinguished in their white coats and dark trousers. It was an enjoyable evening and one that will long be remembered by all. ' Class Day, June 4, was our last day of school, and we spent an informal after' noon reviewing our past experiences. Our high school days were coming to a close and we realized with regret that we should soon be leaving Bassick. At last, on June 24 and 25, came graduation. With sad, yet eager hearts we take leave of our teachers and classmates and turn toward the world of tomorrow, keeping always in our hearts the motto of our Alma Materg Onward ever, Backward never.

Although the record was not praiseworthy, the gridiron squad proved a hard team to score upon, therefore setting itself as a hard team to beat. Harding and Central High Schools were the only two teams that were able to hold the Lions scoreless and score themselves, both squads beat' ing the Green and White 13f0. Norwalk High Schools gridders were Bassick's lone victim of the season losing to the Lions 13f6. The annual Thanksgiving classic between Fairfields and Bassick's football teams ended in another scoreless deadlock, Bassick still yet to win their first gridiron contest from the Fairfield Foxes. Captain Tom Collins and Coach Herb Harringtoifs letter men elected Gus Linardos captain of the 1943 football team. 72 Second Row: jack Casey, joseph Wallace, Neil Conklin, Mr. H. S.

Baseball al Bassick I-ligh-1942 The Bassick baseball team was able to win but two games out of eleven in the disappointing season of 1942. The club played good ball, but came apart at the seams during tight moments, allowing their opponents to go in front to win the ball games. Henry Rydz carried the brunt of the pitching and turned in some masterful performances on the mound, but weak hitting and loose Helding at crucial times steered victory from his path. As the team was dropping one close game after another, the batting and fielding averages fell off considerably. Captain Ray Rapposch, batting champion in 1941, dropped to .273 for 1942. Harold Milvid, on the other hand, was the weakest hitter in '41 with a .O87, but he led the club in '42 with a lowly .296. The team batting average was a scanty .198. On the defensive side of the game, the Lions erred thirtyfone times in the eleven games, and their fielding average was .913. At the end of the season, the Lions had won but two games, the opener with Danbury and an important game with Fairfield, and they had finished in the cellar in both the City League and County A Conference. Mike Gachi, who played great ball at shortstop and who pitched two tight ball games, was elected captain for 1943 at the close of the 1942 season.

Harding, however, heat the Lions twice hy scores of 4 to 1, thus annexing the city championship for the East Side school again. In the other matches, Coach Carr's charges had only a little trouhle in stopping the Central and Fairfield crews. Central was ahle to gain hut one point in its one match with Bassick, while Fairfield could capture only two points in its two matches with the Lions. Lesser, Carroll, Meikle, and, in one instance, jiler played the singles, while McLaughlin and Porter teamed up with one of the former to play the douhles. The numher two douhles team usually made up of jiler and Porter was the only group to go undefeated during the hrief season. The season record: ' Bassick Opponent 4 . Central . . 1 l .

Our honored and revered fnot Paul, halls echoed with our joyous laughter and song! Elaine Creenbaum offering noble assistance in the latter. Our hopes and plans for hard work were as high as one of Mr. Davis's hydrogenfiilled balloons. September 16: There seems to be a slow leak in our balloons. September 23: Balloons completely deflated!!! October Z: Cur first class meeting as seniors! Chummy Riley gave us our schedule of events for the year: Roger, a picture of our financial status: and Tom told us his adventures as i'Boy Governor of our fair state f-a veritable Wendell Willkie, this boy! October l5fl6: First order of pins and rings for this year were taken. Roger raked in the fees with a slightly Morgenthaufish grin on his shining face. Must remember to save our coke money fdid we say coke ?j to pay thc balance. November 18. Fuel oil rationing is supposed to entail a sacrifice, but this was no hardship for us --'-- a prolonged weekfend. Contrast in the halls after the announcement: andante and allegro. Senior play cast enjoyed a brief reprieve. December 4: After two weeks of postponement the great day finally arrived. Bob Moscovitz's emoting had the audience in tears, and a good time was had by all. December 11: Enjoyed ourselves at Senior Christmas Dance. Cnly person missing was Santa Claus, and even he appeared in miniature. In obtaining decorations for the dance Naomi Weintraub and Joni Morris caused a minor traffic jam on lviain Street, trying to carry four huge lanterns apiece which insisted on stubbornly falling apart directly in front of a Connie Line bus.

At Bassiek this applies to those of both sexes. April 28: All Girls' Day. Today we saw the junior girls present a very interesting fashion show.

Spring Play Cn Friday evening, May 7, 1943, the dramatic club under the direction of Miss Mae McNulty presented the annual spring play, Skidding, a comedy in three acts by Aurania Rouverol. The play, the original of the Andy Hardy series, deals with the life of a typical American family. judge Hardy, who is seeking the nomination and re-election to the courtfhouse, Ends more trouble on his hands when his two married daughters, Myra and Estelle, leave their husbands and come back home. His son, Andy, finds plenty of woe when Marion, his sister, breaks her engagement to Wayne Trenton IH, who immediately starts courting Polly Benedict, Andy's girl friend. To top all this, Mrs. Hardy, who blames her husband for the family trouble, leaves home. She returns later to send Myra and Estelle, who have realized their mistakes, back to their husbands. After Aunt Millie, an oldfmaid school teacher, shows Marion, now a member of the Idaho State Legislature, that she shouldn't lose Wayne, and the judge is nominated to the supreme court, the play ends with everything straightened out and everybody happy.
