FOOTBALL Berlin 0 American School for Deaf 25 Berlin 0 Simsbury 6 Berlin 7 Canton 7 Berlin 12 Southington Javees 0 Berlin 7 Canton 0 Berlin 0 Plainville 27 The Berlin High School football team took to the gridiron for the first time last fall. Coach Herbert L. Hall, assisted by Rev. George Y. Flint as line coach, developed a hard-fighting team. Led by Cap- tain Girone, the team had a successful season, with two games won, one tied, and three lost. Next season’s team promises to be a winner, too, if Coach Hall can replace the graduating Senior backfield men, for Rev. Flint’s stalwart and sturdy linemen will play again. The team and squad were as follows: Girone, Knapp, McKeon, Fritzson, Kristopik, D. Roby, R. Roby, Thomson, Zimmerman, Fusing, Johnson, Kanupka, Znosko, Kasiski, Maguda, Morse, Read, O ' Brien, Brusick, Benenti, Ellsworth, Lawrence, Guite, Hannon, Rich, and Baretta.

Florence Miglioli leaves her courage to defend her ideas to Marie Sullivan. “You’ll appreciate that courage, Juniors.” We make this last desperate attempt to rid Edward (iacek of his many-times-willed blush. It is still in his possession, we notice. To Miss Ryan and Mr. Carbo, we leave a new set of brushes and cleaners. Wallace Kingsbury bequeaths his traveling knowledge to Leslie Clark. John Moore and John Knapp leave, not without a few tears, their positions on the varsity team to John O’Brien and Edward Maguda. Ronald Thompson, Gardner Williams, and Joseph Zigmont will their History books to Antoinette Simeone, W alter Mayer, and Mary Paskewicz. We hope that history will not repeat itself on test papers. Norma McC.orkle, Betty Walsh, and Lenore Cistaire give their ski pants to three East Berlinites who will walk to school in a blizzard. Clara Biskupiak, Agnes Peterson, and Stella Godek, leave their positions as librarians to the three most literarily inclined Juniors. May Freshmen disregard the senior privileges so that there will be a steady supply of house cleaners! Emily Drust leaves to Mary Horbal her method of restoring the blonde loveliness to her hair. Esther Brechlin leaves her ability to keep her hair neatly dressed to Adele Lukasiewicz. Helen Budzinski leaves all the tender tears she has shed in the movies to the most “hard-boiled” fellow in the junior class. Florine Day leaves her “unsuppressable” desire to get up and give oral topics in English class to Lillian Collins. Carolyn Derlaga leaves to Harry Wall one of her pies. Irene Pedemont leaves her “tender love” for little bugs to Edith Barattiero. Perhaps you remember the day Irene screamed so hysterically when an innocent little creature strolled by her seat in Mr. Kram- er’s English class. Anna Indelak leaves her love for the Show Boat to Florine Colby. Elizabeth Michaels leaves her “ I dare you” eyes to Catherine Holyst. Mary Lukasiewicz bequeaths to future editors her extraordinary ability for editing “The Berlin High Lamp.” May ye future editors forestall as many difficulties in as pleasant a way as did she. To the Junior Class we leave Room 8; the title of our class book, “The Berlin High Lamp”; and our class colors, blue and gold. We hope that the last two may become traditional and that they will mean as much to future Seniors as they do to us. To the Sophomores we leave our dignity. To the Freshmen we leave our leadership and initiative. Any property or personal possessions of ours that may remain in addition to the items specified we give and bequeath to the Board of Education. Finally, we do hereby name and appoint as the sole executor of this, our last will and testament, our class advisor, Miss Mary C. Mulcahy. In witness whereof we, the class of 1936, the testators, have set our hand and seal on this nineteenth day of June in the year of 1936.

ORCHESTRA The musical activities of the Berlin High School are under the direction of William V. Harris, a man of unusual initiative, courage, idealism, and ability. The high school orchestra has shown its musical merits at a number of functions in the vicinity of Berlin High. It is composed chiefly of younger members and promises to become an orchestra of great renown in the near future. The Berlin High Music Club, organized in January, presented a Christmas Musicale which met with great success and was well received by an appreciative audience. This musical extrava- ganza was made possible only through the cease- less efforts of its accomplished director and the excellent cooperation of the large cast. Mr. Harris ' most successful endeavor in the realm of music was the Berlin Choral Society. It is the first of its kind in Berlin and its initial performance, “The Seven Last Words of Christ,” by DuBois, proved the musical value of just such an organization. The baton of Mr. Harris has led dreamy, religious, military, and bombastic selections and each time, instilled with his vibrant personality, has thrilled audiences and brought fame to Berlin High School. Our musical future looks bright and a continuance of like remarkable achievements is assured. GIRLS 7 BASKETBALL Although the girls do not engage in interscholastic competition in the field of sports, they show a keen interest in all their intramural activities. Basketball, in particular, has been the cause of many a furious battle. Among the various teams, the “Whippets” and “Deming’s Five” have been outstanding. In oilier sports, the girls have divided their interests among soccer, baseball, and tennis. In tennis, the tournament usually means a fight to the finish between the two Juniors, Mary Fagan and Barbara Norton. In all the sports the girls have displayed the same good spirit of cooperation and sportsmanship so necessary for a fine organization. It is indeed a credit to their enthusiastic coach, Miss Gertrude Bunce.
