These years were not always easy and calm: sometimes the going was rough and storm clouds threatened, as when studies seemed to become just too much to bear. But. somehow. these storm clouds were for- gotten, and the waves rolled gently once more. Just as the sea is complex. life at Branford High has been filled with many events: classes, formals. parties. clubs. exams. sports, plays. and assemblies. The 1963 MILESTONE has attempted to record these events which our own class of 1963 has made a part of its sea of life. It is with this experience that we will jour- ney forth from this microcosm, this cove, to the great expanse of sea which lies before us. JOHN S. PICNDLETON. IH President's Message We, the Class of 1963, have reached our goal of graduation. It is with mixed emotions that we come to this point. We realize that probably this is the last time we shall all he together as a class. From the beginning of our freshman year the members of our class have seemed to enjoy a strong feeling of unity. This bond of friendship and this spirit of co- operation has carried us to high levels of achievement in athletics and scholarship and made our social events outstanding successes. Now, at graduation, we are eager to meet the challenge and accept the responsibility which will be thrust upon us. Thanks to our parents and faculty we enter this new world with a feeling of security. Like Tennysonas Ulysses, 44We are a part of all that we have met. Our courage has been good: our courage is great. We begin a new venture knowing that Branford High School will al- ways be a vital part of our experience. JONATHAN A.

It is with this in mind that we dedicate this book to a person who has contributed greatly to our progress and achievement. As a senior advisor, you have helped us choose what is best for the class. Your unceasing efforts and helpful suggestions have made these years ones which will long be remembered by all of us. ln deepest thanks we dedicate this 1963 MILE- STONE to a versatile teacher, author, and coach -Mr. Dominic Cote. A typical French class pose This is a common sight in any football game. Administration As you depart from high school, you are enter- ing an era when the conditions of life are changing rapidly. Travel is faster, communications are more rapid, and ideas are competing with ideas with ever greater intensity. In the midst of change, you will sometimes question your goals and your stan- dards. You will have temptations and opportunitiesg doubts and convictionsg defeats and hopesg and all types of experiences. This is life. You are also maturing and assuming new respon- sibilities. As you move into these new responsibili- ties, you are undoubtedly aware of the hopes of parents, teachers, townspeople and friends who wish you well and who will be proud of all your ac- complishments. You have completed high school. A goal has been achieved, but there are other goals to reach. Plan well. use your strengths, andisucceed. Go ahead with courage. Please come back and visit when you can. WILLIAM H. JAMES It is time for you to work at one of the most difficult tasks in life - looking at yourself. This is a hard job, but it can be most rewarding. Take time to think, as an individual, about what you have done in the past, and what you should do now and in the future. You may originate some search- ing questions about yourself: What value do you place upon your individuality and your talents? 'Your personal feeling may be the spark that ignites a dormant Creativity. Are you willing to admit that your education is just beginning? In order to obtain understanding and a modicum of wisdom, you are required to con- tinue your learning. You must also determine the best way in which to continue your education. Do you procrastinate? Much of your time could be Wasted waiting for the right moment, the opportune hour or day and the inspiration. Do you face unpleasant tasks with courage? It will be essential for each of you to do what needs to be done, when it has to be done, Whether or not you agree. Do you fear making decisions for fear of making mistakes? An error teaches a lesson. providing you are aware of what is being taught. ERNEST C. HATFIELD fa -sv S! . i..t 'F Assistant Principal George N.

The college course contains a liberal sprinkling of topics which acquaint the student with everything from classic to contempor- ary works. The freshman year involves units in grammar 4ba- sically a review of junior high school grammarb, poe- try, and short story and essay writing. Students study everything from Homer's Odyssey to Dicken's Great Expectations. ln addition, there is a study of spelling, vocabulary, and sentence diagraming. The techniques of book reporting and reviewing are taught, and the student is encouraged to expand his reading interests. The next three years are an extension of these topics. Sophomores are required to read fulius Caesar and Silas Marner. American literature is the theme in the junior year, with The Scarlet Letter, The Red Badge of Courage, Moby Dick, and The Bridge of San Luis Rey required reading. The junior year involves an in- troduction to College Board Tests, which is continued in the senior year. English literature from Beowulf to Shawls Pygmalion is studied also. Business English follows a course similar to that of the college course. However, there is greater drill in the skills of grammar, punctuation, and sentence struc- ture, which would be used in business. This course tries to correlate with the other business courses, such as shorthand. However, the Business English also gives a strong background in other phases of English, such as literature and composition. The General English course is very similar to the college course. They follow the same course of study in literature. The major difference lies in the fact that there is less emphasis on outside reference work and grammar than College English.

A Q .-Q 4.4-1- 15 l Mathematics We are fortunate in having a Mathematics de- partment which covers every phase of mathema- tics Within the three curricula offered. The de- partment tries to develop students, through math- ematics, so that they will be able to think and reason for themselves. The mathematics requirements for students pursuing the business and general courses are much the same. Freshmen in the business cur- riculum are required to take Mathematics I. Cen- eral course students may choose either Mathema- tics I or Algebra I. There are no additional math courses required of these students in their remaining years. However. they may elect any one of the following: Mathematics II, Algebra I, Algebra II, or Plane Geometry. To the college course students, six mathematics courses are offered. These courses enrich the pu- pilis background for college mathematics. A math course is required of college preparatory students in the freshman, sophomore, and senior years. Algebra I and Plane Geometry are com- pulsory in the hrst two years, and one of the following courses must be elected in the senior year: Algebra II, Advanced Algebra and Trig- onometry, Review Math I, or Review Math H. We have not only math courses required by col- leges and technical schools, but also special class- es geared to prepare students for entrance ex- aminations to these schools. A well developed mathematics program stands fully equipped to prepare students for whatever type of mathematics they may encounter in the careers which they choose. UNOW let's see!

Science The different branches of the Science department -Q Earth Science. Biology, Chemistry, Physiology, and Physics -have similar purposes. Each tries to stimulate an interest in itself, to prepare the students for college science, and to help the student better understand the scientific method so that he can solve every day problems which arise. Earth Science, a freshman elective, concerns the basic principles of geology, meteorology, and astronomy. Biology, required of all sophomores, involves the study of plants, animals, and man, and how each lives. Juniors in the college preparatory course must study Chemistry. Chemistry is divided into three groups - or- ganic, inorganic, and nuclear. Seniors have two science courses to choose from - Physics or Physiology. Physics teaches the mechanics of motion, heat, light, sound, basic electricity, and basic nuclear physics. Physiology, a new course introduced in 1962, involves a deeper study of man and the functions of the human body. The science program also includes a course for ad- vanced students. Freshmen may study Biologyg sophomores may take Chemistry, and juniors may study Physics. As we can all see, the Branford High School science program is well-equipped to train its students for college science.

Languages This department has courses in French, Spanish, and Latin. College Preparatory students are urged to take at least three years of a foreign language: however, all pupils regardless of curriculum may elect four years of each language. The general aims are: to develop the skills of listen- ing comprehension, reading, and Writing a foreign language: to impart physical and cultural knowledge of the native lands of the languages: to provide op- portunity to meet college language requirements: and to offer the students a new concept of learning. Pupils are trained to acquire the ahility rect patterns of speech through imitation tion. Good pronunciation and intonation achieved through the language laboratory. Reading and writing are developed as much as pos- sible without reference to English. Because Latin is not conversational, students learn grammar and do extensive reading. They study fulius Caesar.

There are two divisions of study in the business curriculum - secretarial and cleri- cal. The secretarial students receive basic and advanced training in shorthand and typing. Clerical students study bookkeeping as well. The Hrst year in the business course offers basic subjects for all students. Included are English I, World History, Business Mathe- matics, Junior Business Training, and Phy- sical Education. In the sophomore year, the actual busi- ness training begins. Students receive basic training in Bookkeeping I and Typing I, taken in addition to the other required sub- jects - English II, Biology, and Physical Education. Junior business students advance even further and decide definitely on a secretarial or clerical career. These students are also required to take English III, United States History, Typing II, and Physical Education. By the time senior year arrives, students have followed a well-rounded program of studies. Secretarial students receive further training in shorthand and transcription. They also learn to use various office ma- chines, such as the calculating and adding machines, the dictaphone, and the duplica- tors. In their fourth year, the clerical stu- dents receive training in general ofiice pro- cedures, Business Law, and Salesmanship. In addition, both groups are required to take English IV and Physical Education. It is hoped that upon graduation, these students will be well qualified to obtain an excellent position in the business World. 31 ,JF if Sandy Coates, Mary Lou Pis- citello, and Kathy Skolonis work out problems on the calculating machines.

Paul Schoeller, and Mervin MCCI Industrial Arts Since there is no industrial arts curriculum, the program is being offered to all students in the three courses f College, Business, and General. A variety of subjects is offered to introduce boys to the mechanic skills and to give them a solid background in these skills. Industrial Arts and lVlechanical Drawing are offered in the freshman year. In Industrial Arts, boys learn to use Various tools, such as the lathe and the circular saw, later applying this knowledge to wood and metal crafts. Mechanical Arts prepares students for such fields as architecture or engineering. Sophomores may expand their knowledge by tak- ing further courses in these subjects. Work becomes more advanced, as is also true of the junior and senior years. A course combining Power Mechanics and Elec- tricity is also offered to students. In Power Mech- anics, students learn the whys and wherefores of engines, eventually progressing to the overhauling of a car. After students master the fundamental concepts of Electricity. they work with radios and television tubes. After four years a student hopefully attains a thorough knowledge of the basic principles of the industrial arts. IR Q is x K A rmpletely overhaul a Car engine in Power Mechanics. iw TI' f.

Its purposes are to help students develop the ability to enjoy music as an expression of a universal lan- guage, to develop an appreciation for all styles and media of expression, to lead the talented students to further studies, and to help students build a worth-while collec- tion of records. Art This course is a full credit, four year program designed to give each student an opportunity to explore various art media. Special emphasis is placed upon the stu- dent,s own exploration and interpretation of the basic elements of design. Projects are usually planned on a group level, however, each student is encouraged to do advanced work in whatever area he is most interested. Art, offered to all pupils, provides a means of interpretation for these students.

The same is true of high school students. If it were not for these hard-working ladies who prepare the lunches, the pupils could not travel very far. The beautiful appearance of Branford High School is due to the time-consuming job of cleaning and maintenance done by the custodians. We, the students of Branford High School, thank you.

Under the excellent guidance and assistance of its advisor, Miss Seavey, the council has been very successful in all the projects it has undertaken. A few of the more important projects under- taken this year were: the planning and running of Youth Day, the revision of the Student Council Constitution, and the forma- tion of a student handbook to be distributed in September of 1963. The council is a member of the Connecticut Federation of Student Councils and the National Association of Student Coun- cils. Last year the council sent five representatives to the Con- necticut Federation of Student Councils' annual summer work- shop held in Lakeville, Connecticut and one member to the National Association of Student Councils, conference held in San Gabriel, California. Representatives will be sent to both the summer workshop in Lakeville, Connecticut, and the National Convention. which will be held in Ann Arbor, Michigan.

Row Three: Laurel Breding, Nancy Zallin, Joachim Schnabel, The Dramatics Club is an organization designed to acquaint students with fundamentals of the theater. Two meetings are held each month for just this purpose. At the first meeting of each month, the oliicers conduct a business meeting, followed by workshops. ln the workshops, club members learn the various skills needed to produce a play, such as scene building, lighting, and costuming. At the second meeting, a one act play is presented by some of the members for entertainment. They use knowledge gained in the workshops for this production. Each year two full-length plays are produced, one in De- cember and one in April. This year the Dramatics Club pre- sented Pygmalion and Anne of Green Gables. The club has traveled to Stratford to see King Lear at the Shakespeare festival and has been to New York to view Abe Lincoln in Illinois. ln March the Dramatics Club participated in the Connecticut Drama Tournament, presenting This Dream in America. Under the supervision of Mr. Zimmermann the club participates in a full year of rewarding activities. President , . John Pendleton Vice President ..,. .. ,..,.

Shaw's story of the impoverished Cockney flower girl and the zealous Professor of Speech who transformed her into a Lady was handsomely mounted and presented in a manner that was a credit to all concerned. John Pendleton commanded the stage as Professor Henry Higgins and demonstrated his ability to portray amply the range of a Shavian hero. Now befuddled, now dominating, scalding in contempt, at times regal, at times cruel, he expressed the scorn of Shaw for mortal failings as he plunged through to his inevitable success.

A fine group of supporting players acted as foils to these superb twin performances. Alan Bruce as Colonel Pickering portrayed the English gentle- man back from India as to suggest that if ever BHS should choose to pro- duce another farned team. they have a ready and experienced Watson to team with an obvious Holmes. As English ladies, Nancy Lauterhach and .lean Hanna expressed the essence of the British middle and upper class. Roy Ogren as the fraudulent Hungarian, Nepommuck, was a delight to the audience. The play was further flavored by the characterizations of Kim Schnahel as Alfred Doolittle and Janet Riesman, ,loan Sellev, and Michael Donofrio as the pompous Eynsford Hill family. fllichard Weed 1 Branford Reviewl 'Ll-low-do-you-do?,, 5 K 5' Wfhe creature is nervous, after all TE LITTL www HI must have my hanging - my hanging '6Have you remembered everythingfp' JA UAR r A p zgjs y You Won't be losing a daughter.

Youth Once a year Branford offers to its young people, the leaders of tomorrow, an opportunity to step ahead in time to become the governing officials of today. Sponsored by the Student Council for the purpose of promoting knowledge of and interest in local government, Youth Day has become a traditional high light of the school year. On this day students gain valuable first-hand information when they themselves participate as members of Representative Town Meeting or When they experience a typical working day in the life of a town official. Council members work closely with the school adminis- trators, town ofhcials, and the League of Women Voters to make the event a most meaningful experience for the mem-- bers of the student body who in a few short years will be taking over the duties of responsible citizens in reality. ln all events leading up to Youth Day, legal procedure is stressed and is followed as accurately as possible. Students first register as Voters and as party members. The three parties - Totoket, Quinnipiac, and Algonquin s 5 Wwni' fu 5 5 E Board of Education Seated: Mary Link, Janet Griffin, Marie Richitelli.

Color- ful posters line the corridorsg handbills and printed cards extol the qualifications of the contestants. Campaigning is heated and vigorous. When voters go to the polls, they cast their ballots on real voting machines sent by the town to the school. Stu- dent oflicials chosen by election include members of the Board of Selectmen, Town Clerk, Tax Collector, Town Treas- urer, and members of the Boards of Assessors and of Edu- cation. In turn the proper elected oliicials appoint fellow party members or other qualified students to assume the duties of Superintendent and Assistant Superintendent of School, Town Engineer, Assistant Town Clerk, Welfare Supervisor, and members of the Board of Fire and Police Commissioners.

Elmer Tyler has seen to it that our football, basketball, and baseball teams have been run properly for four years. As manager, Elmer checks equipment, aids the coaches, and does odd jobs. He has been a very important part of our sporting or- ganizations at Branford High School. Each year the Sweater Award is pre- sented to the girl who has the highest num- ber of points in girls, athletics by the end of her Junior year. If two girls have almost the same number of points, a vote is taken by the girls in school. The votes are based on sportsmanship, participation in intramurals, and varsity and junior varsity action. Jane Kilpatrick received the Sweater Award this year. She has actively partici- pated in varsity hockey, basketball, and softball since her Freshman year. ln her Senior year she became co-captain of the girls' varsity basketball team.
