FOOTBALL In its second year of organization, the Berlin High School football team was somewhat less successful than the team of the previous year. However, with John O’Brien as Captain, and coached by Herbert, Hall and Albert Robinson, it fought sturdily and its sportsmanship is to be commended. The season ended with two tied games, the others, being losses. The team and squad were as follows: Ellsworth, Rich, Maguda, Brus- ick, Morse, Hannon, Delian, Read, Law- rence, Patterson, Centurelli, Yantz, Dyer, Boardman, Pesenti, Maier, Gardner, Bacarro, Guile, Derlaga, Motyka, Lemieux, and Moore. Sadey, and DeLowery acted as managers. BASKETBALL The basketball team, under (lie supervision of Coaches Herbert Hall and Albert Robinson, had a fairly successful year. Walter Mayer was the captain of the Berlin five. The good sportsmanship and fine work of the team are praiseworthy. Out of the nineteen games played, four were victories.

very swiftly in our rocket ship, we soon found Berlin. We located Berlin High and found Catherine llolysl teaching French and Dante Georgini working out a difficult physics problem with his class. Your physics marks were certainly envied by your classmates, Dante. The ranch of Lillian Collins, who was married to a big game hunter, was our next stop. We found Mary Fagan in a very familiar role — that of veterinarian, curing a tame lion of insomnia. Next door we found a Boarding House conducted by Alice Bodack. Raymond Riggott acted as doorman here. Helen Panasewich could be seen in the act of preparing the noon-day meal. The welfare of the inmates was supervised by Mildred Stange. Picking up the “Berlin Beacon” I was confronted by glaring head- lines — “Notables Return Home.” Reading on 1 learned that these were none other than Mary Pas- kawicz and Lincoln Ellsworth, famous travelers and Richard Fagan, tennis champion. Turning the pages 1 glanced through the “Book Review” written by Mary Horhal and noticed that a second volume of Gloria Haddock’s poetry had been published and could be obtained at the Sullivan Book Shop. Marie always managed to have a recent best-seller. The Sports page also informed us of the activities of Walter Mayer, commentator and writer, and Edward Magada, second Babe Ruth. Tired of seeing all our classmates inactive, we asked Dr. Reedheman if he couldn’t use the same sub- stance that brought us to life to bring them back again. With the use of powerful machinery he soon spread the gas all over the whole western hemisphere. An acid had also been added which would tend to make the person return to the land of his childhood. Soon Berlin possessed the same atmosphere and Berlin High echoed with familiar sounds. Signed HELEN KBIWACKI HELEN ANNE WILCOX
