Now on the threshold of this life, Before proceeding on our way, With faith to Thee our eyes are raised. O Lord, we pause a while to pray. We ask not wealth, but a Worthy duty, Sharing laughter, song, and beauty. Endow us with a spirit free To work for all humanity. With steadfast purpose, aim, and Will Not just to do our share, but more, To aid our brothers with our skill, To struggle, hope, progress, and score! For, if the goal is worth achieving, Forever we'll go on believing That we must try to do our best, our bestg And leave to God, to God and time the rest. Father, grant our plea, All our trust we place in Thee. Amen diff lj:iili.iligiE,Esl-jjiif gi tt ati 000 00 'G' EDITORIAL STAFF Wada and Mum Ag eazlool .Qaff Editor-in-Chief . .

Lasting friendships with classmates and faculty members have enriched our lives and have better prepared us to face the future. Because We are eager to share success, joy, and an everlasting associa- tion with each other, our class hereby announces its earnest intention to hold a reunion in ten years. The reunion committee, consisting of the class officers and the author of this pact, assumes the responsibility of making public the exact date and plans for the reunion in all local newspapers, in the school bulletin, and by any other available means. It is understood that all members of the class are expected to attend, regardless of social status or engagements, alone or with their families. We, the undersigned, pledge our sincere desire to fulfill the terms of this pact.

SENIOR DELEGATES Two people from each senior home room, one boy and one girl, have the thankless task of squeezing fifty cents from the students of their home room. You would think that once they had performed this ardous duty they would be permitted to rest quietlyg but no, these over- worked people then have to decide how to spend the money they have collected. For some strange reason, they seem to find that this job is a trifle easier to perform. In general, the senior delegates have a hand in all of the class festivities. They have charge of publicity, tickets, and decorations for senior dances, they organize the class trip, they spend days and nights counting votes for the class characteristics. In addition they must keep their home rooms informed about all senior activities. And for all their pains, they are rewarded with such comments as VVha'd'ya want, more money? or Don't bother me, I gotta finish my homework. f ll ou ze Boy Richard Norell Herbert Gullberg ll Richard Nore John Saul Zoltan Lucas Richard Orsage Robert Scanlon llartin Swanhall Fred lhloody Nicholas Abriola Gus Seaman joseph Cottle Kenneth John a ehatactet, lllos t Popular Best Looking Don JI rllost S011 F lllost for C11 155 'lost Izzfliwirlual Likely to Surreed .Most Collegiate lllost Talkatiw rllost Frinzdly Quietext Cumr Bm Arhleff Biggm Flin Bm .lvtor lhlarjorie peat Girl Brennan Patricia Pettit lhlarjorie Brennan Janet Skane Natalie Comen Estelle Leonowicz Sara Klein 'SOB Greta Andei Claire Gifford Elizabeth VVargo is Florette Dion Ann Klarie Yveingart Rud Boy Richard Luca s james Dionis R ohert Gulyassy Klarshall Kidder Christy llletsopoulos Raymond Norell Richard Orsage Robert Gulyassy Kenneth Johnson Calvin Larson olph Tohis Iohn Pericas llfosl Pleas .qeniot P n 2110 W irfim flloxt Optinzisfir llflost Dignified fllost Business-Like lllost Jrlisfic Best Dressed llflost Courteous llfost Reliable Peppiest Xl lost fl'I11xi1:z1l lien' Danrer Best 14 dress 25 ing Personality Louise MCK Estelle Le se McKnight Greta Anders Helen Dore Dorothy Vanco Lorraine Le Girl Helen Dore Dorothy Krosky Rita Repko Anna Foley Agnes Odette night onowicz on dger lVIarjorie Brennan ufvetything .9've get fefonga to ou CLASS WILL OF 1948 We. the Class of 19-l-8 of Bassick High School, still being of sound mind and body and having gain- ed parole from our beloved Institution, realize that we must go forth into the world and face common ordinary people, adjusting our lives to conform to the accepted standards of society by disposing of our superfluous characteristics acquired during our three, four, or in brilliant cases five years in high schoolg therefore we bequeath our treasured possessions: First: To Mr. Roth, who has affectionately called us His Class , we leave pleasant memories of our days at Bassick, our sincere appreciation for his many kindnesses, and our deepest sympathies that he didn't graduate with us. Better luck next time, F. G. R.! Second: To Miss Gallahue we leave our grati- tude for her patient and untiring efforts in our behalf.

Tfwenty-first: To lVIr. Davis and the beloved lab we bequeath pot holders, a box of Duz, gas masks, an adequate ventilating system, and Bob Scanlon's distilled Water. Twenty-second: Oscar Melvin leaves a throng of girls awed by his golden voice. Twenty-third: Cal Brunning and lylerilu Elliot leave their reserved seats at the basketball games to Lois Gronberg and Anne Pasqua. Tu'enty-fouth: To John Bjorklund, Bob COh, how that violin sings when he plays it ll Gulyassy wills his Winsome personality. Twenty-fifth: Ethel Angyal and Ruthie Bowden leave their cheerleading ability to anyone with a strong heart. T'wenty-sixth: Peg Blagys will never leave the Dodgers. Twenly-se1fenth.' To Phil Ness and Bob Wollert, Elliot Bechtel leaves his inches. Twenty-eighth: Eva Landauer and Joan Garrity leave a challenge to all red heads. Twenty-ninth.' Bob Sampson leaves his penny bank idea to anyone with enough nerve. Thirtieth: The Advanced Math students leave the Chief memories of their good times. Thirly-first: Jack Murphy and Sara Klein leave their profusion of words to resound through the halls of Bassick. Tlziriyfseconrl: Blond and suave Marty Swan- hall leaves his ways with women to Ralph Broman. Thirty-third: Cute Bob Sass and Kippy Smith leave their dramatic abilities to John Beard and Arthur Sherwood. Thirty-fourth: To Harriet Leipner, Dot Vanco leaves her sweet, pleasing voice. Thirty-Ffth: Rita Repko wills her sophistication to Mary Lou Rossignol. Thirty-sixth: Petite Bobby Hay and Dot Kro- sky leave - and all the boys follow. Thirty-sez1enlh.' Sharpshooter Gus Seaman wills his terrific high scores to Donald Borgman. Try and beat them, Don! Thirty-eiglzllz: Belle Marks leaves her interior decorating schemes for the school library to Yvette Lipschitz.

An officer of the Dramatic Cl b . u and of the Junior Classi- cal League, he also pl'1vs inte l . 1 , r-c ass basketball, football, and baseball. Joe's able assistant is ' ' vivaclous Joyce Stanley, of the twinkling eves and friendl , y smile. Joyce is a member of the Spanish Club and G.A.L.A. The class records and correspondence are kept by Mary Lou Keegan. Efficient and attractive Mary Lou is on both the literary and business staffs of the l'oice. She also is active in the Ushers' Guild, the Dramatic Club, and the Spanish Club. 62 VVh . oney matters, Dan Olah is the man to en it comes to 1949's m see. Danny Boy is an enthusiastic sportsman and also a member of the Stage Crew. The junior social functions are handled by capable Jean Johnson and Dick Kish. This is the first year that a class has had social co-chair- men. Pretty Jean is a member of the A Cappella Choir, L.A.W., and the Voice Business staff. Dick is on the J.V. Basketball team.

VVith Mrs. Katherine Mullins as 'conductor' the home room presi- dents meet once a month to discuss issues of im- portance to the school or to vote on particular measures, with harmony as their chief objective. Under the spotlights are Robert Gulyassy, presi- dent, Patricia Shannon, vice-president, Nlarilyn Holmes, secretaryg and Robert Sass, treasurer. The chief work of the council this year has been the placement of a bronze plaque in the school lobby as a memorial to the alumni who gave their lives in World War ll. On the lighter side, issues of general interest to the student body are thoroughly investigated. Believing that Now Is the Hour , the Bassick Student Council re- mains eager, well-informed, and 'quick on the upbeat.' ll ou ce the Top h B'o klund Ra mond Norell, Michael First Rofw: Betty Ann Sager, Elizabeth Thayer, Nancy Sprague, jo n 3 r , y R b R 'd J mes Kish, Audrey Fox, Margaret Kennedy, Marilyn Molander Kundrath, Robert Gulyassy, 0 ert er , a Second Rolwi Rudolph Sabados, Susan Steck, joan White, Robert Sass, Eugene Busko, jack Warren, Archie Fortin, Reno Piccioli, James Cashavelly, Harold Peck, VValter Zackrison, john Csogi, Arthur Sherwood, james Lecza, Patricia Shannon, Carol Martine, Jerry Frank.

You see them in the choir, in dramatic skits, on the football and basketball teams, at Voice meetingsg and you usually find their names on the honor roll.

The choir opened its season early in November with a combined high school con- cert at the Klein blemorial, which turned out to be a bang-up success. Before anyone had time to catch a breath, Christmas loomed near. This Christmas found the choir caroling on a radio broadcast, on a program heard through the tower of the Hungarian Reformed Church, and finally at our own impressive Christmas assemblies. The last appearance of these 'iangelsu at the Spring Concert only affirmed the fact that Bassick has an A Cappella Choir of which it may be proud.

Along with their editor-in-chief, Donald Pious, they have worked practically every night after school to make the yearbook a musical interpretation of life at Bassick. The staff has had lots of laughs in bringing this yearbook to you, and it sincerely hopes that you will have just as many laughs reading it. 83 i l COMBINED CHORUS First Row: Myron Freedman.

Any time, any day one can find a group of choris- ters melodiously tuning up under the direction of Miss Laing. After weeks of this constant practice of chords, scales, and do, mi, sols , the members of the chorus were finally ready to make their big debut at the Christmas assembly. Their successful performance at this assembly was duplicated at the Spring Concert, which featured equally delightful singing. Everyone who heard the program agreed that each selec- tion by the Combined Chorus was truly a song to remember . Ram, fian, Ram .1 .1 'QQ Riff 'qgyusiiu 'SX ll FOOTBALL TEAM OF 1947 Firxt Rvfwi.

The Green and VVhite opened its 1947 season by trouncing Mil- ford. lt then went on to defeat Central. For- tune turned, however, and Bassick was upset by strong Harding and Greenwich Squads. It was also overpowered by Stratford and Danbury. A pounding line and smart backfield upheld the traditions of Bassick by tying Fairfield, its arch rival, in the annual Thanksgiving Day game. In the first half, Bassick could do nothing against its heavier opponent. But in the second, playing on sheer nerve and grit, it completely outplayed the rival team. Although hampered throughout the season by injury and the loss of players, Bassieles football squad proved itself well worthy of the school's reputation for fighting teams.

That's how they went all season with Bas- sick sprinting in the last few minutes of every tense game. The quintet started the '47-'48 season with five straight wins. This winning stretch included the big upset of the regular season, the last-minute victory of the Green over Central's Red and Black cohorts. Stamford knocked Bassick out of the undefeated classy and from then on, the Lions ll ive lffe 'pvc fffinutes funn had a little rougher sledding, winning seven, while dropping three contests. All in all, how- ever, it was a most successful season for the team, with the final totals showing twelve wins against four losses. This was more than enough to quali- fy Bassick for the state tournament. After an easy qualifying victory over Meriden, Coach Lyon's boys had an off night, and Were badly beaten by Hillhouse. But this defeat in no way darkens the bright season record, and the boys who helped compile that record deserve, for their sparkling play, plenty of credit.
