a 77170 liesditi eM-iah School feesdln, Gaanectictd Volume. 11 dedication We, the class of 1947, proudly dedicate our yearbook to Mrs. McNickle, secretary to Mr. MacLaughlin. In all her relationships with us she has displayed kindness, co- operation, and patience accompanied by a friendly spirit, which will remain foremost in the memories of our class. Marlin V. MacLaughlin Superintendent of Schools Kenneth L. Mackenzie Principal To the Members of the Class of 1947: Congratulations to each of you. You have com- pleted your public school education, and have attained a high school diploma. That diploma shows that you have completed twelve years of work in school. It does not, and cannot, indicate what you have earned during that time. You have a reward, but only time can measure its value. Your parents and your school have worked with you to make the most of the opportunities offered. What you accomplish in life will prove the extent to which their efforts, and yours, have been successful. With confidence in your ability, and with faith in your efforts, I bid you Godspeed. To the Members of the Class of 1947: The graduating class of 1947 is to be congratu- lated upon the successful completion of four years of high school work at a time when the doors of opportunity in American life are again open. You entered high school at a time of unpre- cedented world-wide strife and distress. The strain and hardship are now at an end. The very magnitude and acuteness of the na- tional and international distress of the recent past have increased the need for intelligent and skilled workmanship in every field of human en- deavor. Your opportunities for human service are manifold. As you leave the shelter of your homes and high school to face the problems of the world, remem- ber that we are all interested in you and in what you do with your life. We trust that you will, in the words of Horace Mann, “Be ashamed to die until you have won some victory for humanity. 5 Mr. Marlin MacLaughlin, Superintendent Mr. Kenneth MacKenzie, Principal Mrs. Lillian McNickle, Secretary Miss Eleanor Bolin Miss Margaret Flannery Mr. William Gibney Mr. William Harris Mr. Arthur Kevorkian Mrs. Zelda Kravitz Miss Marie LeVan Miss Helen Lynch Miss Elizabeth McBrien Miss Florence Miglioli Miss Sarah Planting Miss Ruth Spangenberg Miss Violet Thompson Miss Norma Wolf Bernard Brennan Editor-in-Chief Carol Johnson Graham Hall Assistant Editors Barbara Johnson Literary Editor George Seddon Photography Editor Larry Kellum Sports Editor Patricia French Art Editor Jlcwup, Zditosib, M Ucuje Students of Berlin High School: This year the Lamp Staff has endeavored to raise the standard of their yearbook and to set a precedent for the many yearbooks to come. Something that has never before been tried in publish- ing a yearbook at Berlin High School is the addition of adver- tising. This advertising was added to partially defray the expense of the other improvements. I sincerely hope that this 1947 Lamp will bring back many fond memories of Berlin High School, and that it will continue to please its readers in years to come.

GEORGE GILBERT SesuHcesnett During our years at Berlin High School we were proud of the members of our class who enlisted in the armed forces. These classmates, who are now in the army and navy, have served in Japan and Korea. They received their training in numer- ous camps throughout the United States. WILLIAM MITCHELL RAYMOND EDWARD PANASEWICH DESROCHERS 23 GlcuU ptvosphecif, Washington, D. C. May 16, 1959 Dear Glenda, On this lovely spring morning I just had to write and tell you the latest news. Last week, after receiving an invitation to dinner at the White House -from Charles Merritt, U. S. President, I called Bernard Brennan, my theatrical agent, and cancelled my appointment with him. We were to look over a new movie script which Florence Pajor, well-known movie writer, has arranged for me. I arrived at the White House driveway just as Ricky Heinzmann alighted from his latest invention, a boat with four wheels and two wings. His two airline stew- ardesses, Betty Ann Fitzgerald and Ruby Clauson, rushed to meet me. It seemed that they, too, had received invitations from President Merritt. Apparently this dinner was to be similar to a class reunion. We were met at the door by the receptionist, Marian Johnson, who greeted us warmly with the words, “Hi, folks! Gee, it’s been ages, hasn’t it? It seems longer than twelve years. Don’t you wish we were back in good old B.H.S.? Oh, guess what! Carol Johnson was able to come. At first we were afraid she couldn’t be- cause she was to have made a report on her latest discoveries in surgery to doctors in Vienna, but she’s put it off until next week. Well, come in and see everyone.” We walked into the East Room where everyone was milling around, and we mingled with all our old school chums for a few minutes before dinner. After greeting the President, I was near Graham Hall and Bert Desrochers, so I stopped to talk with them. Graham was discussing his dairy business and “I now produce the nation’s best evaporated milk,” he told me proudly. Bert, who had realized his life-long ambition of being the father of a LARGE family, was asking Graham to deliver ten cases of evaporated milk to his home the next week. “It takes quite a bit to feed ten children,” he explained. The next group I met was composed of Joanne Seibert, Barbara Johnson, Mil- dred Slater, and Betty Ann Gooby. Joanne is a bacteriologist in a laboratory at the University of Southern California, where she is working on secret research for the government. Mildred Slater owns a pharmacy and runs a restaurant in New York. Muriel Larson is her nutritional adviser. Barbara Johnson always wanted to be a social worker, and what acclaim she has received in lowering the divorce rate in New York. She is busy day and night, especially settling the disputes between Betty Ann Gooby and hubby Joe. Just as I turned toward another group, Herby Krause, first chef of the nation, announced that dinner was served, and before we knew it we were all tasting Herby ’s delicious spaghetti dinner with fried turkey (a recipe he worked out him- self). As we sat at the table, we compared notes on our experiences and the profes- sions we entered after leaving Berlin High. Lorraine Rochefort has her long- dreamed-of advertising office, with eleven secretaries and stenographers working for her. This number includes Anna Mayer, Betty Kieffer, Marion Giannotta, Janice Woods, Bertha Symanski, Sally Marino, and Margaret Sampl. Katherine Vandrilla is a private secretary, but, instead of working for Lorraine, she is employed by Marco Rockefeller, and she loves her job. 24 Richard Overstrom is a state trooper in Massachusetts, and he came to the dinner in his dark blue uniform with “genuine gold” buttons. Our Class of ’47 turned out four very fine auto mechanics. Alfred Tee, John Badal, Bill Drachenberg, and Bill Payanis all went into business together. They own a huge auto repair shop here in Washington, D. C, and they have named it “The Four Busy Bees.” George Seddon is a dentist. If anyone wants a tooth pulled, his office is to be found in Brooklyn. Bill Norton is a promising young lawyer. It looks as though he will go far. When Howard Cable retires from his position as Attorney-General, I am sure Bill will be there to take his place. We had an elementary teacher in our midst. Jean Carlson, so patient with child- ren, makes a wonderful instructor. The only trouble is the little girls are complain- ing because the little boys are all in love with their teacher. Marceline Allario, or rather Mrs. Guarino, now wears a golden wedding band on her finger with that big beautiful diamond. She can cook now and Tud no longer gets indigestion. Betty Abel, a Powers model, attended the dinner wearing an adorable creation styled by Pat French, who designs clothes for actresses and models. Jack Puppel was also present. He owns a swank yacht club, you know, and Steve Baccaro and Donald Corr manage it for him. When I asked Betty Belmont how her stenography was coming on, she re- plied, “What do you mean? I’m a swimmer, not a stenographer. Why, do you know, 1 won the Florida State Championship for swimming in 1955? Wait until I see Esther Williams.” Norman Ericson is a jockey. He rode “My Lady Slipper to a quick win in last year’s Kentucky Derby. Robert Meigs showed us something unusual when he brought a few colored chicken eggs with him to the dinner. He is experimenting with these eggs and apparently there is some way in which he can obtain red, green, and purple eggs simply by adding dye to a hen’s food. Lucille Luddy is a graduate nurse and she is working in a grand new hospital in Nebraska. Two other nurses, Betty Lou Fleischer and Marie Venturo, were present at the dinner. Betty Lou is interested in bone surgery, while Marie is studying blood chemistry. Rita King sat next to me at the table. She owns a fox farm, and those beautiful silver foxes of hers are breath-taking. She brought pictures of them with her. After dinner Larry Kellum kept us enthralled for hours telling us his narrow escapes from elephants and lions which he hunts in Africa. He has already had one of his books, titled “Hunting,” published. Bill Dornfried told us something of his profession. He is a deep-sea diver, and he has brought to the surface of the ocean everything from sponges to pearls. Ronnie Griggs is heard on the radio every day. He is one news commentator that will look at both sides of a question fairly. After chatting a while we all settled down to listen to Lois Hill play the piano, accompained by Arlene Tack and her magic violin. Lois plays the piano for the Philharmonic Orchestra of Los Angeles, and she has played in Carnegie Hall. Arlene has her own radio program, and everyone listens to her “Sunday Evening Hour of Music” each Sunday night. Well, we had a remarkable class, didn’t we? We didn’t all turn out as we had hoped, but I think we are all pretty well satisfied. We hope Miss McBrien, our Senior Class adviser, is proud of us. We’re proud of the way she brought us up.” I hope you are all well and I shall see you in Hollywood next year.

Gibney, the Berlin High School football team turned in a very successful season. The team set a new school record by winning five games and losing only two. The two defeats came from the hands of Westport and Southington, two class “B” schools. The team had a fighting spirit and a great ability to come from behind to turn a defeat into a victory.

Although at the season’s outset prospects were promising, a win- ning team failed to materialize. Berlin possessed no scoring offense, and its defense succumbed to the scoring momentum of such teams as Lewis, Ellsworth, Plainville, Farmington, Sacred Heart, and others. Berlin did gain twin victories over Durham. Although Berlin did not enjoy a winning season, its gallant spirit and sports- manship cannot be overshadowed, for it is only a true champion who can play the game with his heart, win or lose. flaAehall With the close of the 1946 baseball season the Berlin High School team turned in a success- ful campaign with seven victories and six defeats. With seven of the starting nine men returning to the lineup Ber- lin again expected to field a suc- cessful team. The letter men who returned are S. Baccaro, L. Kel- lum, C. Vigra, E. Soroka, P. Tinsley, J. DiMugno, and Carl Focareto. QUee ileade il The cheerleaders, under the capable guidance of Miss Ruth Spangenberg, worked well this year, boosting the morale of the players and leading the spectators and loyal rooters of Berlin High. New cheers, such as the Hud- dle Cheer, the Flag Cheer, Ber- lin’s on the Court, and a few more, were added to the list of cheers. The girls on the squad were: Anne Centurelli, Audrey Cooney, Carol Griggs, Sallie Johnson, Jane MacLaughlin, Marcelyn Poppel, Frances Recck, and Lou- ise Sokolowski. The girls alternated as mana- ger at every game. 38 Qi h ' fealJzetLall This year a regular girls’ bas- ketball team was formed with Miss Violet Thompson as coach. For the first time in the history of Berlin High School the girls played against outside schools. The starting lineup was: Right Forward, Barbara Repczynski; Left Forward, Jane Conger; Cen- ter Forward, Sylvia Jones; Right Guard, Rita Beaulieu; Center Guard, Nancy Baldwin; Left Guard, Pat Gould. Substitutes were: Josephine Tinti and Louise Sokolowski, Right Guards; and Ruby Clauson, Cen- ter Guard. Aticltesiif, The Archery Club was inactive during the fall months, but in the spring they entered two teams in the national tournament under the direction of Miss Marie LeVan. The teams made a good showing and should be compli- mented on their efforts. 39 Athletic AteXHUatian Under the guidance of Mr. Kenneth L. MacKenzie the A.A. has done an excellent job in run- ning the financial affairs of the athletic teams. This year they sponsored a magazine drive to raise money to buy new uniforms for next year’s teams. C. Vigra, D. Corr, R. McCain, S. Baccaro, L. Kellum, C. Merritt, R. Avery, R. Palumbo, B.

Eligibility is determined by scholarship and leadership. The Council serves as an advisory board, considers problems of the students, and cooperates with the student body to make all extra- curricular and social activities a success. Graham Hall served as president, and Miss Marie Le Van acted as adviser. i he Student Court this year consisted of Judge, Bernard Brennan; Prosecutor, Ronald Griggs; Clerk, Charles Vigra; and Adviser, Miss Marie LeVan. The Student Court is to be congratulated for its work in maintaining order in Berlin High School. BtuAesit Cou it The Traffic Squad is a part of the representative group of our student govern- ment made up of students selected from the classes by the officers and approved by the faculty. During the past year the squad consisted of about 15 members, including the following officers: Captain, Stephen Baccaro; First Lieutenant, Charles Vigra, Desk Secretary, Jean Carlson. Miss Marie LeVan is the faculty adviser. The Senior Court firmly upheld its duties as protector of the many senior privi- leges during the year. Charles Merritt served as judge, Florence Pajor as clerk, and Bernard Brennan as prosecutor. The Music Department and the high school Music Club are endeavoring to develop and instill in the minds of all students “the will to be musical.” They realize that time is an element — their present time enjoys the awakening of interest and musical possibilities — their future time looks promising. Vocal, instru- mental, and theoretical music will be a definite part of the high school curriculum. The Chemistry Club meets under the direction of Mrs. Kravitz twice each month. These meetings provide an opportunity for further research in the field of Chemistry and also interest in this field students who otherwise would have no op- portunity to become familiar with this subject. The Motif Club, consisting entirely of senior girls, enjoyed an active year under the able leadership of President Muriel Larson. The other officers were: Vice Presi- dent, Janice Woods; Secretary, Anna Mayer; Treasurer, Sally Marino; Program Chairman, Betty Lou Fleischer; and Adviser, Miss Marie LeVan. This year the Berlin BEACON became a printed newspaper with Miss Helen Lynch as adviser. Members of the staff included Jane MacLaughlin, editor-in-chief; Bill Lane and Ralph Meyer, assistant editors; and Aline Silsby, business manager. b antcUic Club The Dramatic Club met for the first time January 7, 1947. At this meeting they elected the following officers: President, Marian Giannotta; Vice President, Rita Roy; Secretary, Clarissa O’Connell; Treasurer, Maxine Hinton. Miss Sarah Planting served as adviser. The two sophomore biology classes united to form a Biology Club under the sponsorship of Miss Norma Wolf. Officers were: President, Ann Karlsen; Vice President, George Pollard; Secretary, Patricia Brennan; Treasurer, Stanley Zipadelli. Kenneth Schultz headed the com- mittee for by-laws and objectives, and Faye Gooding was in charge of the programs. The general aim of the club is to increase its knowledge of biology through field trips. tl 1 ,.J O LI T MISS ELIZABETH McBRIEN nibute The Class of 1947 wishes to thank its senior adviser, Miss Elizabeth McBrien, for all she has done to make its last year at Berlin High School successful.
