ESTHER OSTERBERG Librarian i r V ' . -z..-.s THE GREEN AND WHITE STAFF imz-A.? - . as .- EDITORIAL THE ATOMIC AGE When the American B-29 dropped the first atomic bomb on Japan, a new era in civiliz- ation was heralded. The new era brings with it revolution in science and politics. For the moment we are interested in the new po- litical phase. To the American people, it is a bitter pill to swallow-to realize that no part of the United States is immune from an atomic at- tack. The wide stretches of the Atlantic and the Pacific no longer have any defensive value, an atomic war would be so catastrophic that the world would probably never sur- vive it. How can a future atomic war be avoided? The only way that peace may be maintained is for the United States and the other na- tions of the world to form an organization that would insure world security. The United Nations of today might solve the p1'oblem. However, no world organization will be successful if balance of power, spheres of influence, and power politics are to be used by the various states as has been practised in the past. All the governments in the or- ganization will have to be sincere in their dealings with the United Nations and each country will have to abide by the Charter. What part will the United States have in this organization? The United States of America must play an active part in the United Nations to assure the world that the American people want peace and are deter- mined to prevent further wars. The Ame1'i- can youth can no longer maintain his non- ehalant attitude toward international affairs because the United States has so suddenly been brought into the heart of world af- fairs, The American youth will have an im- portant role in World History. America will have to be ready to keep the peace. An atomic war may truly be 'the war to end all wars. , WWW szumugg ' Av' MARY ALVES Shortie Parking Place: Portsmouth. Pastime: Movies.

Lslwrgmmaav 4-ill.- 4.-lla, CLASS PROPHECY COLLEGE PREPARATORY New Year's Eve, 1966, and here I am shipwrecked on a deserted island. What a predicament! No doubt this will be the quietest New Year's Eve that I have spent in a long while. I remember how we used to celebrate back in my high school days. Gosh! I wish I knew what they're doing now, the old gang from the College Preparatory Class. Suddenly, there was a bolt of lightning and a crash of thunder and there stand- ing before me was a small man with a flowing white beard that reached to his ankles C365 day shadowj. Around his neck an hour-glass was hung and in his left hand he held a sycthe. To my utter amazement, I realized it was Father Time. Your wish is my command, said he, would you like to go back to your home town and see what's become of your classmates? Natch, natch, your kindness and generosity is only exceeded by your ravishing handsome face. At the stroke of midnight, Father Time turned his hour glass and disappeared in a cloud of sand. As the sand settled, there was disclosed a stork carrying a small infant dr-essed in a zoot diaper. I caught on to the stork's feathery back and I was soon dumped on the roof of the Hotel Belvedere which was now under the man- agement of ANTHONY SANTULLI who had built a roof garden, named the Star- light Room. There was a wild New Year's party going on. Everyone was drinking milk. The master of ceremonies of this gala affair was FRED A. BRUNO who was in the act of introducing the crooner of the evening, DAVID MIRABASSI. Swooning at his feet were PEGGY UZELLE VIERA and three or four other characters. Lead- ing his own one-piece orchestra was JOSEPH GEORGE, playing, Rhapsody in Light Pink. Joe is conducting his orchestra during the off season from his reg- ular duties as player-manager of the Boston Braves. While sitting at my table watching the floor show, I felt a trickle of soup running down my neck, I knew without looking up that it could only be LARRY RODRIGUES. It was. He was working as a waiter. As the floor show hand ended and I had not seen all of my classmates, I got up and depart-ed. I stepped into the elevator, finding the operator to be none other than THOMAS VACCARO. After being such a wizard at math, it certainly is a let down to find him a Big Time Operator. I guess he has had his ups and downs. Leaving Hue elevator on the first floor, I proceeded through the main lobby to the front door which was opened for me by an extremely polite doorman. When my eyes became accustomed to the glare of the handsome red uniform with its glittering metals, I perceived beneath the shiny visor, the features of ANTHONY FERRARA. I transperambulated the street and stood gazing at the new modern post ofiice constructed of gold bricks. From out of the huge portals strolled a hand- some, dignified looking gentleman whom I immediately recognized as RICHARD J. MCGINN. Upon inquiry, I discovered he had risen to position of postmaster- general. This was not odd for in his younger days he had plenty of practice in the game of post-office. Continuing on down Hope Street, I discovered BufTington's Drug Store to be under new management-now known as JOSEPH SOUSA'S Bargain Basement. The real brains behind this concern was SAVY VITELLO, general manager. As I left the drug store, I heard the patter of tiny feet coming from around the corner. When the stampede of twenty or more children had passed, I stepped from behind the door Cwhere I had leaped for safetyh and came face to face with the proud parents-ANGELA CANNIZZARO and JOHN MAI- SANO. Angela always had a hobby of collecting things. In the small gale stirred up by this herd, I noticed a paper being blown along. Upon picking it up, I found that it was thc Bristol Phoenix, now edited by MARY ELIZABETH VER- METTE. Bet always had a knack for picking up news. After reading it over, I found that MARY LOU SERBST and CATHERINE CONNERY had been ap- 33 43 K i-Q, YT it ..1, ..,.. WWW ii. pointed co-principals of a certain Newport high school and that IRENE CORREIA was their secretary. A front page article concerned BARBARA SHUSMAN, the first congresswoman from Rhode Island. At that moment ANTHONY BERNARDO strolled by with his banana wagon, attempting to sell his fruit to the housewives of Bristol. Suddenly a Hash of red streaked past. It was the' decrepit Echo Soda truck, driven by the president of the corporation, CHARLES LOMBARDI. Upon speak- ing to him he informed me that the former owner JACK MOREN was now being employed as assistant to the assistant janitor. After looking at the racks of soda, I became thirsty, so I decided to walk along Thames Street to find a place to quench this thirst with a milk shake. The enchanting strains of a beautiful voice drifted to me from a night club with a huge neon sign, proclaiming it to be the Monte Carlo of Bristol. Attracted by this voice, I entered, and found that it belonged to FRANCES ANN DOYLE. Seems that music runs in Lalie's family. At a nearby table, an alluring card game was in session and I decided to try my luck. Two of the men at the table seemed familiar but I was unable to place them. After a few hands, I began to think my luck was not with me, for the two familiar gentle- men were FRANCIS VELLECA and SALVATORE CARULLI. Knowing from past experience that they were a pair of cards, I immediately inquired as to the honesty of the game. Without so much as a word to me, they stood and summoned the burly bar-tender who was none other than ARTHUR SHERMAN. It seems that Art was also acting in the capacity of Chief Bouncer. Placing a strong hand on my collar, he tossed me through the swinging doors. The hard cement sidewalk rose suddenly to my left ear and then everything went black. The darkness slowly turned to light and I found myself once more on my little deserted island, under a palm tree, a bottle in my hand and my head aching. I may spend the rest of my life on this island but I am contented, for I have seen the fortunes of my classmates. ' ALBERT OSTERBERG, 1946 GENERAL CLERICAL AND HOME ECONOMICS It was such a warm day and having nothing to do I decided to take a nap. I soon fell asleep and found myself in the year 1966. Since my marriage to my old schoolmate I have been away from Bristol almost twenty years. I was now strolling down Hope Street, in my old home town. Well I'll be a so and so, if it isn't my old friend, PHILOMENA CASTRO talking to her school day heart-throb. I thought by now she'd have him around her little Hnger. Oh! Well, she always had a weakness for blue eyes and I guess she will never change her mind. ' I kept walking down Hope Street wondering about my other pals. As I was passing by a little white house, I heard a familiar voice, and as I turned to see from where it was coming, I recognized LORRAINE SILVIA. She was yelling her lungs out at her twin sons, who were trying to jump from ,a second story window with umbrellas as parachutes. She told me they wanted to become paratroopers like their dad. I asked Lorraine about HELEN ROMANO and MARY ALVES. Shq told me they had both married, and were now living in Portsmouth. I became very thirsty, so I walked into a familiar drug store. A tall thin girl took my order. Looking up to see who the clerk was, I found it to be LYDIA BRAGANTINE. She had gotten thin, since the last time I saw her. As I was sipping my cabinet a tall girl came and sat next to me. She talked to me, but I didnlt recognize her until she told me her name was ANTONETTE MURGO. Why, of course, how could I forget good old Etta, who always had an answer for everything. . ETTA told me JENNIE CAVALIERI was in New York, singing on the radio with Kay Kyser and Iskabible. After leaving the drugstore, I walked up to what used to be the Pastime. It was a nightclub, with CARMELLA GIORDANO as the main attraction, she did some very difficult acrobatic dances with the assistance of ESTELLE VONA. 35 4 When Red's dancing was over, out came MARGARET MARSHALL, as short as ever. She carried a violin just a trifle smaller than she. I wonder what made her change from piano to violin. She used to play the piano so well! Walking out into the lobby I saw BEATRICE NERO dressed in an evening gown and her hair was dressed in the very latest up sweep. She was getting ready to sing at this night club. Imagine Beatrice choosing singing as a careerg she never could carry a tune when in Colt. When her number, which was surprisingly good, was over I left the theatre, and was waiting for the bus when ALICE GARVIN came along and we began talking. She told me MARY SCOLARO had become partners with her in the new Bristol Airfield. They were having difficulty with one of their pilots, who was no other than JANE D'AMICO who was taking her beau for a ride, free-that's un- derstood. After arriving home, I turned on the radio and much to my surprise, I heard THERESA SOUSA and ELIZABETH LIMA, vocalists, known as the Western Night- ingalef' I can remember the times they interruped us in H. A. with ther melodious singing., , With the help of noisy children I awoke from my dream. I Wonder what all my friends will really be doing in 66, but I guess I'l1 have to wait to see what the future has in store for each and everyone of the class. JENNY CAVALIERI INDUSTRIAL ARTS Say, did you ever go fishing out on the bay? Let me tell you what happened to me on a fishing trip. The waters softly rippling around my boatg the sun shining down, a good lunch for myself and plenty of worms for the ish. Now, I ask you what could be nicer? There I was, my line bobbing around in the water, my five and ten cent straw hat pulled over my eyes, and I was enjoying life. Suddenly there was a tug at my line. I roused me! I grabbed the fishing pole. I pulled! I tugged! I swayed and nearly toppled into the water but I pulled all the stronger and landed the biggest, yes, the biggest shoe I'd ever seen. It was enormous! Sticking from the shoe was a piece of paper which I pulled out and as I did it expanded, grew larger and there before me was an orchestra-an orchestra of strings and the leader ANTHONY MACIEL all dolled up in a monkey suit. Those strings moaned and groaned and Anthony increased the tempo. Suddenly one broke and popped me on the head with so much force that I fainted and thought I was on a huge trans-Atlantic liner and the captain was none other than DOM PERRONI all dressed up in gold braid, and near by polishing. the brass was a lad whom I recognized as JOE CORDEIRO who we all thought would get rich raising homing pigeons. Here he was in the Navy, and very busy. Now recovered from my faint, I watched that shoe wiggleg it fascinated me. It wiggled some more and ,out crawled a bat, one with two wings but he suddenly turned into a real bat in the hands of a coach, Coach HARRY ANDREWS, who was delivering a pep talk to an invisible group. He was telling them that the play he was teaching them was the famous one used by the Colt-Champions, in 45. Some line-Harry. At that moment, the shoe moved again, and out stretched the biggest tongue I'd ever seen, but soon it took shape which I recognized as ILARIO MARINO. He looked around, then started to dance the craziest steps. A second Fred Astaire! He kept saying got to get it! got to get it! and he kept dancing around until he toppled into the sea with a splash which sent foamy water over the deck in which I recognized ANTHONY MARSHALL, all dressed in white. A good humor man. He looked as if he had some ice cream cones so I reached for one but it was nothing but foam which slipped through my Hngers and as I looked to tell Ant what I thought about him, he wasn't there at all. Gone with the foam! With a snap, two buttons popped off that old shoe. They rolled around the dock, then assumed the forms of cops, and there indeed was RICHARD TORREY and ANTHONY DEMARAIS, police-men! Funny, heh! Guess they got their train- 37 000 ing as traflic cops at Colt. Anthony went to kick the shoe but instead out stretched the laces which tripped the boys and they both fell overboard. Those laces wiggled, squirmed and there before me stood JOHNNY BALZANO and PAT ANNARUMO. From their conversation I learned that Johnny owned a big circus and that Pat Annarumo was one of his clowns. I also learned that JOHNNY BAKER was a lion trainer! Imagine that now. The sole of the shoe began to flatten and soon I saw a big arena and a boxing match was going on. CHARLES CORREIA was the favorite boxer and he sure could fight and ELDEN BEALS was Charles' trainer. Beals who we all thought would be a big rancher and own his own racing horses. A big wave now struck the boat, I awoke, looked for the shoe, it wasn't there and my line was bobbing up and down. I grabbed it and landed the biggest fish I'd ever seen. JOHN MATTES, 1946 COMMERCIAL One summer day while I was walking down a busy street in New York, I noticed a sign that read, Madame Zawmi, come in and learn your future. I stop- ped before the door, my curiosity was all aroused, what would I and my classmates be doing in 1966. I opened the door and was greeted by a foreign looking woman. I told her why I had come, so we went to a nearby room and sat down at a small table. Madame Zawmi told me to gaze into the crystal ball and the minute I looked at it I fell into a trance. This was my vision. Walking down a country road, I noticed a small cottage with a young woman sitting on the porch. Coming closer I noticed that it was MARY PREZIOSO. I ran up the front stairs and after exchanging greetings Mary told me that she had married and was the proud mother of twins. After talking about good old Colt, Mary handed me a telegram which I read through two or three times. Finally I was able to speak. Holy Cow! Is this true? TILLIE REBELLO elected first woman president of the United States! Well, Tillie said she was going to run for president and she finally made it. Mary then said that she was Waiting to hear a special broadcast from Carnegie Hall. She turned on the radio just as the announcer was saying, On today's pro- gram, we are presenting a very famous pianist who is making her first appearance here. We are proud to present Miss LOUISE TEXIERA. What a concert! Louise played the classics superbly. After the broadcast, Mary and I went down town to a tall building which we entered and took the elevator to the eighteenth Hoor where I saw a door with the letters Andrew's Dancing Schoolf' I could hear a voice saying, 1-2-3 kick, 1-2-3 kick. I opened the door and saw ANDREW BOZZARIO teaching a class of girls the ballet, and they were all so graceful. After spending a few minutes with Andrew, we left his studio to take the elevator when I noticed on another door a sign which read, Hope Realty Company -MARY NAPPI, President. I met Mary, a big-shot in the real estate business. Who would have thought it possible. After visiting Mary for a short time, we left and took the elevator to the first floor. We left the building and proceeded up-town where we stopped before a very neat baker shop. We entered it and up from behind the counter popped HORTEN SE CARREIRA in a big white hat and long white apron. She told us that she and her family were running this bakery. The name BAKER always did appeal to her. We spent a few minutes with Hortense then left her. It was then that Mary told me that MARTHA MILLER and VIOLA SYLVIA were running a home for elderly women. I just couldnlt believe it. I thought they would marry very young. What cvcr became of the two Bill's? This is u question only they can answer. ' Walking on, we came to a drug store where printed on the window was the name, NANCY FERRARA, Proprietor. We walked in and I heard a husky voice 39 KEY CAD TO BABY PICTURES ON PAGE 43 1 40 bellowing out orders. Two strawberry sundaes. Give them the works and lay the cream on thick. I couldn't believe my ears. This couldn't be the Nancy who always had to be asked to speak louder whenever she had to recite way back in those days when we were in school. How times do change! I now bought a magazine and was I surprised to see MARY PACHECO'S picture on the cover. She was now a movie actress soon to appear in her first movie with her co-star Larry -I couldn't make out the last name as the print was blurred but I had a very good idea. Hastily, I began to urn the pages when I came upon a picture of DOROTHY AUGUST and JENNIE CAVALIERI who were now famous sopranos with the Metropolitan Opera Company. I remember when they sang for our school Christmas Party-those were the good old days-and now they are singing for millions to hear. Mary and I left the drug store, and it was then that I heard a bit of news that really opened my eyes. ROSALINE AUGUST, ANNE BRUNO, and ROSE DIAS had become vaudeville stars and were now known as the Three Esmeralda Sisters. As they were good friends in school I guess they just couldn't bear to be separatedg so hence the trio. Walking back towards Mary's home we heard a voice saying. Join Guevre- mont's Union, and your troubles will be over. There on the top of three soap boxes stood MARGARET GUEVREMONT who had started a musicians union to compete with Mr. Petrillo. Leaving Margaret to carry on her work, I remembered I had seen all but two of my classmates. Mary told me that WINIFRED AIELLO had become a hair stylist and was working for Paramount Studios. So that's where the actresses get their hair styles. We were nearing Mary's home when all of a sudden a group of boys came dashing by and who do you suppose was chasing them. It was none other than ANNE RAMOS. This was certainly a big surprise. Anne was always a quiet girl in school. Mary told me that it was Sadie Hawkin's Day and the race for a man was on. Why those boys wouldn't want to be caught is beyond me. By this time we had reached Mary's home, and time to say goodbye. All of a sudden I felt someone shaking me. What's the matter? asked Madame Zawmi. You seem to have been in a trance ever since you set your eyes on the crystal. Maybe I had been in a trance but I did not tell Madame Zawmi about it, she might want me to tell her about her future, too. ESTELLE VONA, 1946 GENERAL I was taking my first airplane ride and was very excited about it. We were soaring through the sky when suddenly the plane rolled over and I fell out. I was terrified and in my excitment could not find the rip cord. Oh, my goodness, no wonder! The pilot had forgotten to give me a parachute! Surely, I thought, this is the end of me. Just then I landed on a green cloud. I was feeling very comfortable sitting there on the cloud when suddenly an army of girls approached me and without a word led me to a very beautiful garden. At the far end of the garden was a throne which was surrounded by hundreds of beautiful girls and to my amazement, on the throne sat LOUIS STANZIONE. Oh, well, you were always popular with the girls, Weren't you, Louie? After greeting me, Louis began to talk about our old high school days. I asked him if he knew what had happened to our former classmates. Louie replied that living on a cloud had its advantages. During these twenty years since graduation, he had been able to look down from his cloud and see everything that went on below. He told me to look down on Bristol and lo and behold! There was FREDDY COSTA with ten-no fifteen children. Louie informed me that two days after graduation Freddy had married .... well, you know who the girl was, don't you? Crack! Crack! What is that noise? Why look! There is a large woman coming down Hope Street, cracking a whip at a man. Why, it can't be. It's RALPH ABENANTE and his wife. Well, times certainly have changed! 41 KEY IBD TO BABY PICTURES ON PAGE 43 42 Over a large building, which I had never seen before, I noticed a sign which read: Jones Brothers Cough Drops-Better than Smith's. At each end of the sign were pictures of the founders of the company. I never would have recog- nized them if Louie hadn't told me that they were JOSEPH ARRUDA and JOSEPH FERREIRA, both of them had long, flowing beards. I must remember to try their product. ' A Looking towards Metacom Avenue, I noticed a very ultra-modern building. Whatever can that be, I wondered. After taking another look, I realized that it was a bank. I looked through one of the windows, and saw CONNIE BRIGGS dictating a letter to her secretary, ALBERT OSTERBERG. On the door of her oflice, printed in gold letters, was the sign Constance Briggs, President. It didn't take me long to conclude that Connie had started a bank to compete with the In- dustrial Trust Company. Next to the bank was an artist's studio and on the sidewalk was, of all things, a cow with a rope around its neck. On the other end of the rope was MARY OLIVER and her assistant JOHN MATTES. After I had stopped laughing, Louie explained that Nklry was probably trying to drag the cow into her studio to use as a model. Looking eastward, I saw many chickens running around a large field and chasing them was ROSE PALMA who was now engaged in the poultry business. It looks as though Roselhad better run much faster if she expects to get her chickens back. It certainly was a pleasant experience to be able to see what my former class- mates were doing. I was about to thank Louie when he asked me if I hadn't forgotten LUCIA SAVIANO. No, I replied, I didn't forget Lucia. After all, she was the pilot of my plane and when I get back to earth I'm going to find her and give her a good piece of my mind for forgetting to give me a parachute.

Witnesses: Hendrick Van Ooster Christina Zutphen Hans Smocke 47 A BASHFUL BOY'S FIRST DATE Beads of perspiration stood out on my fore- head and my face and ears showed a slight tinge of red which did not come from the setting sun. My eyes were wide open in wonder and expectation and I tried to ap- pear very nonchalant, happy, and carefree. Nervously my hand jumbled for the bell but did not find it for there was no bell. My hand then wondered to my back pocket and there I found my comb and for the fifteenth time, I gave my hair a going over. Gaining in part my confidence, I knocked softly on the door and of course she didn't hear me, so again I knocked, only louder. This time it seemed as though it might have attracted at- tention for I could hear footsteps in the hall- way. Suddenly, for it seemed that way to me, the door opened, and I heard, Hello, Vellec, come right in. tGulp7 Hello, Butch, a voice says, that voice being mine but I don't recognize it. You're late, quoth she in a tone which inferred that she knew you would be any way. I am? I mean am I. It was farther than I thought and my legs are kind of tired be- cause we had practice today. All this rushes from my mouth, like racers at the sound of the gun, then I stare stupidly in apparent disbelief that I could say so much at one time. Have you met my mother? she questions and because I neither answer yes or no but just shift my hands from my side into my pockets she says, Mother this is Francis Velleca. Remembering my manners I then reply, How do you do. I'm very glad to meet you. My chest expands at this moment for I con- sider this act one which took great courage but while thus contemplating in aforemen- tioned manner Buich's mother reawakens me saying Oh, Yes, Butch has mentioned you often. Again I went back to my think- ing, thinking in which way the last was sup- posed to be interpreted. But being in a cheerful mood, I cast aside all suspicion and begin, though maybe a little weakly, to en- wait upon topics of the present while my date takes time out to put on her coat, at least that's what she said she was going to do. After realizing that I am a failure as an orator or commentator I began to wonder just what Butch was doing, and I was re- lieved of this troublesome worry when I realized that the coats do not have zippers but have to be buttoned. 48 Finally she appeared and announced that she was ready to leave, inwardly I heaved a sigh and said that I also was ready to go. As we left the house Butch receives her final instructions from her mother who also says to both of us have a good time and reminds us in a sterner voice not to arrive home too late. Part of the ordeal is over I think to my- self but I am suddenly awakened to the fact that two blocks have passed during which I have been thinking to myself and not a word has been spoken. Nice night out, isn't it? Nice for walking, anyway. Butch looks at me, not without an air of surprise and being very talkative replies, Yes, it is a nice night out. Then she relapses into the subconscious state from which she was so rudely taken. Four blocks pass and I get up enough courage to say, Do you think the movies will be good? I don't know, but the actors are good, she manages. With pride you hear these words and marvel at the intelligent conver- sation you are having. Suddenly, Butch seems of a new spirit, we are nearing the theater and Butch is alive with talk. Look, Vellec, there's Ant and Charlotte ahead of us, and. of course, Jack and Ann are here, but look, there goes that stupid 'Skippy' Flair with that cute blonde, she's such a nice kid, too badf, And so it goes. How many, the woman at the ticket win- dow asks? Oh, uh two, say I clutching my dollar bill, as I could a brother going off to war, then sorrowfully passing it on to the woman be- hind the window and receiving two tickets in return. The two of us then enter the theater and while Butch departs for Ladies' Room the ushers and I chat conventionally until she returns, at which point I leave them with a smile. Then, my kid brother gets up from his seat and walks towards me so he can say with a big smile stretching from ear to ear, Hi Ya, Francis. I never knew I had so many friends for everybody in the theater seems to want to say Hi, Vellec. Carefully looking over the prospects, we decide on where we will sit only to find the seats saved, but not being proud we select another two seats, and, after a seemingly mad scramble, reach there just in time to wrest the seats away from another couple who had eyed the same seats. After a few preliminaries, such as helping Butch off with her coat, we were settled in our seats and sat there in saturated silence for twenty min- utes awaiting the beginning of the movie. Finally the lights go out, and the movie be- gins. I found the movie not very spectacular and sat minding my own business in bored, indifferent silence Inside me a conflict wages Why don't you hold her hand. No, she wouldn't want me to. Sure she would. Go ahead. No, I don't daref' And so it goes and the picture ends, you help her on with her coat, then proceed to enter in the train of fellow humans struggling to get out of the theater. At last, you are free. Where is Butch? Uh, here she is. Now begins the long homeward trek. I asked her if she'd like to stop at the local eat shop but she said she didn't. Mind you I only asked out of common courtesy, for we couldn't very well stop on twenty cents. That was a close one, I remark to myself. I ask her if she liked the movie to which she replies that she liked it very much but you know very well she was bored stiff Cand not only by the movie.J Huffing and puffing we finally reach her home and there jumbling around for words I asked her if she'd like to go out with me again next week. CI know I had her in a ticklish positionj I'd love to, she answers with the sin- cerity that convinces. I then bade her a polite goodnight and wearily turned away from her house toward my home thinking that next week I had better prove a far more interesting escort. The next morning my friend says to me, Have a good time, Vellec? Wonderful! say I. - -Francis Velleca, '46, CHILDREN IN ENGLISH LITERATURE There is in English literature very little about children. All the poetry and prose were on subjects such as religion and adven- tures of heroes. Two immortal poets in Eng- lish literature, Milton and Shakespeare, ne- glected childhood in their writings. Shakes- peare, the greatest portrayer of human na- ture the world has ever known, failed miser- ably in attempting to paint the character of a child of Macduff. Perhaps the reason for this shortcoming was that during this period adults played the parts of children on the stage and never could play them convincing- ly. Shakespeare, therefore, disregarded them and did not waste time writing lines which could not be appreciated by his audience. Interest in children began in England with the Age of Romanticism. At this time num- erous social reforms were brought about, among them the prevention of child labor. There were more human emotions repre- sented in literature. Wordsworth wrote a poem about a little girl, Lucy Gray, who lost her way in the snow while bringing a lan- tern to her mother to light her way home. Wordsworth often described his own child- hood, as in Hlntimations of Immortality from Recollections of Early Childhood, in which he sums up his philosophy of childhood. This poem teaches that the kinship with nature and with God which glorifies childhood ought to extend through a man's whole life and enrich it. The natural instincts and pleasures of childhood are the true standards of a man's happiness in this life. He also wrote Childhood and School-Time. Sir Walter Scott wrote Lullaby of ai Infant Chieff' Charles and Mary Lamb together wrote Tales from Shakespeare 08705 pri- marily for children, but it is enjoyed by young and old alike. They wrote Poetry for Children too. Charles Lamb alone in his Essays of Elia told about his love for chil- dren in Dream Children. The Child in the House by Walter Pater is an exquisite and imaginative treatment of the sensitive boy who was himself. Other than these there are few examples of children in the liter- ature of that period. Children really came into their own in the Victorian Age. Tennyson often turned his mind and pen from lofty thoughts to simple childish lullabies like Cradle Song and Sweet and Lown In The Cry of the Chil- dren Elizabeth Barr-et Browning voiced the protest of humanity against child labor. Dickens wrote a great many books about children. His own life as a child, poor and lonely, longing for love and society, laid the foundation for those heart rending stories of childhood which have moved so many readers to unaccustomed tears. A type of character found in most of Dickens' novels was the innocent little child, like Oliver, Joe, Paul, Tiny Tim, and Little Nell, appealing powerfully to the childlove in every human heart. David Copperfield reflects the char- acter of Dickens. Nicholas Nickalby help- Q ed mitigate the evils of private schools in England. Oliver Twist, whose hero was a poor child, the unfortunate victim of society, tried to reform the evils under which the poor in England were living. Old Curiosity Shop was another novel of Dickens in which a child played a prominent part. Probably the most famous and best loved children's book in the English language is Alice in Wonderland, written by Charles Dodgson, better known as Louis Carroll. Car- roll, shy in the company of adults, loved children and knew and understood the world of imagination in which the most sensitive of them lived. So he put his little friend Alice Lidell into a dream story and became famous as the author of Alice in Wonder- land. Alice figured in another story, Through the Looking-Glass, in which she had a series of adventures on a giant chess board. George Eliot wrote Silas Marner, a novel in which the hero who has been thrown into despair by the loss of his money is brought back to life and happiness by the coming of an abandoned child to his fire. In the early part of Jane Eyre Charlotte Bronte told about Jane's life when she was a little girl, living in her cruel aunt's house and later, being mistreated in a horrible charity school. A book which mothers read to their chil- dren at bedtime, a fascinating story of a chimney sweep, is Water Babies, by Charles Kingsley. Treasure Island, an absorbing story of pirates and a hunt for hidden gold, will al- ways be read by children. The author, Rob- ert Louis Stevenson, also wrote A Child's Garden of Verses, which includes Up in a Swing, Where Go the Boats, The land of Counterpanej' My Bed is a Boat, For- eign Lands, The Unseen Playmate, and others. In Twentieth Century literature, are two outstanding authors who wrote for and about children. They are Rudyard Kipling and James Barrie. Shiv and Grasshopper by Kipling, an English version of a Hindu lulla- by, represents what is probably the oldest form of poetry and the most widespread be- cause there is hardly a man anywhere, sav- age or civilized, who lacks the cherished memory of a mother singing in the twilight. Captains Courageous deals with a spoiled boy who fell overboard from a liner and found his manhood when picked up by a schooner from the Gloucester fishing fleet. Kim, reflecting the experiences of a boy 5U who wandered over India with a holy man. Tiger Tiger tells how a baby was saved from a man-eating tiger by a mother wolf, who brought him up to run with the pack. The other great portrayer of children in the twentieth century, Barrie, wrote the im- mortal Peter Pan with its boy hero who would never grow up. The other books about children that he wrote are Sentiment- al Tommy and Tommy and Grizelf' A study therefore of children in English literature, shows complete neglect in the early periods. Through the years there has been a gradual increase in interest, until in modern times, children have assumed their proper place in literature. -Barbara Shusman, '46.

Salvatore Carulli American Students Chorus of Dutch girls Professor McSpindle and his American stu- dents arrive in the village of Oseudorf to study botany while the people are celebrat- ing a holiday. Ned and Dick fall in love with Christina and Katinka, and when their at- tempts to spend more time with the girls are thwarted by McSpindle, Ned and Dick induce the professor to dress in his Sunday best which would make him resemble an escape thief of tulip bulbs. As soon as Mc- Spindle dresses himself similar to the way the thief is dressed, the burgomaster, Van Ooster, arrests him. Christina informs Ned that she has some stocks her father had acquired in America which Ned finds to be valuable. He convinces Christina not to sell her stocks cheaply to the burgomaster, and when Aunt Anna discovers that the real thief has been captured, Mc- Spindle is released from jail, and Christina sells her stocks for the just price. -Joseph George. '46. THE FATEFUL PITCH Tom was feeling very happy today. And why shouldn't he? Tom Blake was the left fielder of the Boston Bees who had swept through the season and were now engaged in the world series with the Detroit Tigers, the American League champions. The series had gone six games already, but everyone was certain that the Bees would win the final game for their hitting in the last two games had been terrific, and Tom Blake was the in- dividual batting star on the Boston club. Tom was certain that the final game of the series would be his greatest one because his fiancee, Marcia Lee, was coming North from Florida to see him play for the first time. The weather turned out to be fine for base- ball on this October day-yes, one might say a typical Indian summer day. National League Field was filled to capacity two hours before the contest was scheduled to start, and there was definitely an air of victory in New England of this day. Darn, muttered the Bee's left fielder as he was going out to his position on noticing that his girl was not in her box behind third base, something ought to be done about the inefficiency of the railroads. I'll bet her train will be so late she'll miss the whole game. The game progressed with each team bat- ting very earnestly. To the Bees, this game was a must, for they had come a long way from rockbottom to the top, and this victory would give the team financial support to keep the boys playing next year. ln the last of the eighth, the Boston boys tied the score at three tries. As he went out to take the field, Tom was still wonder- ing what had happened to Marcia who hadn't appeared yet. Out in left field, he noticed that some thoughtless fan had thrown a pop bottle into the field. As he was about to toss the bottle off the field of play, he noticed that a note was tied to it. While a wild argument was ensuing at home plate over the umpire's decision, Tom read what was written on the note, and turned pale. Your girl is being held hostage. If the Bees don't lose the game, you lose her. Blake had heard about these gamblers and what they were capable of doing. Tom was in a daze. The Tigers went down in order in the ninth, and the Boston Bees came to bat. After the first two men went down, succes- sive singles by Culler and Holmes, and a pass to Cooper loaded the bases for Bees. Tom Blake was the next batter. He seemed oblivi- ous to what was going on, and before he knew it, the count ran out to 3 and 2. Then Tom realized the predicament he was in. Was this note a hoax written by some Tiger fan. Was it real? Could he run the risk of sacriiicing his girl for the team. What else could he do? The Detroit pitcher got set. Down came the pitch. What could he do? What would you do? -Joseph George, '46, ANALOGY OF THE PSYCHOSIS OF THE STUDENT TO AFFECT CEREBAL CONFUSION Acknowledgement: This future liturgy, a metrical composition displaying creative imagination. accumulat- ed by two sublime idealists, is a maximum poetical conception psycho-analyzing the cerebal functions of a necessitous, despondent student. We realize this may sound slightly poly- syllabic, but the authors, by a synallagamatic contract, in their attempt to imitate the ini- mitable, wish to express their gratitude to Gertrude Stein for her inspiration. This might also be called the Futile Sys- tem. In the school there was a boy, A boy in the school there was a boy. In studies he found for him no joy. No joy in studies he found for him no joy. In studying he had his own way, His own way in studying he had his own way. He worked all day so he could play, So he could play he worked all day to play. Trig, Solid, and French were Greek, Greek were trig, Solid and French were Greek. ' In books for knowledge he sought to seek. To seek for knowledge he sought in books to seek. From studying so hard he went mad, Mad from studying so hard he went mad. This proves what is achieved by studying, my lad, My lad what studying achieves this proves, my lad.

WHAT MAN HAS MADE OF MAN One blue Monday morning as I was atten- tively participating in a discussion in our English class on Wordsworth's 'tLines Writ- ten in Early Spring, I suddenly realized that our teacher was making a heartwarming announcement to the class that a 1'ive-hun- dred word essay on What Man Has Made of Man, would be due the next day. So the next period, sitting at my desk, I tried to write this essay or at least think of a logical excuse for failure to do so. Having failed in the latter and feeling sure I would fail in the former, I decided to attempt this terrific struggle with all of the blood, sweat, toil and tears that I could master. So I finally con- cluded to ask various people for their views, and at the close of school, I started my sur- vey. The first person I met was a policeman whom I knew very well. He was rather pessimistic in his reply. He told of the numerous robberies and slayings that were going on all over the world, and how people were forever cheating one another Sum- ming up his remarks, I knew that he thought that Man was trying to destroy Man. Thanking him, I went on with my survey and the next person I met was a nurse. She was quite optimistic because she saw many doctors working long hours every day help- ing Man, trying to alleviate suffering, and the nurses, too who likewise worked for the good of humanity. Leaving her I met a lawyer who told me that he made his living on the evils of man. For example, he said, I just left the courthouse after winning a case for my client who had been cheated out of four thousand dollars by his own sister. Yesterday, I had a divorce case and the day before I had two robberies, so you see, Man isn't very nice to his fellow Man. Afer making this remark, he introduced me to a young man who had been in the ma- rines. This chap told me of the Japanese atrocities and beastly brutality, and he left me wondering if I could get home without being robbed or murdered. The next morning I proceeded towards school with these thoughts in mind. I thought about the inventions, the medicines, the art and music that Man had developed through the ages, then I thought of the wars that were waged during the ages and although undecided about the success or failure of Mun in helping his fellow being, I did de- cide that Satan had a pretty good foothold in the minds of Man and that it would take a greater interest in Religion to correct What Man Has Made of Man. -John Maisano, '46. A SENIOR'S THOUGHT While sitting at my desk one day, I looked outside to see The days were getting warmer, And the birds were on the tree. I knew the time was coming To leave the dear old school, Why, it seemed like only yesterday That we entered and followed each rule. We had our various problems, About our English, math, and P. D. But who can ever compare it, To our games and victories! The seniors are all in a dither now, But still sophisticated they remain. For they realize what they're leaving And that another class will reign. But we are proud of our high school And hope our successors will be, too As proud of Colt as we were. And to Her will always be true. -Nancy Ferrara, '46. ENGLISH. XII BC-1 This English Class of '46 Was always full of funny tricks Talking, laughing, and full of fun 'Twas hard to get our day's work done. Roz, Mary, Tancy, Ann, and Rose Who lov'd to read poetry and prose Martha Viola, and Estelle In English grammar could not excel. Zaz, Ralph, and little Freddie, Who with their book reports were never ready, Louise, Irene, Margaret, and Dot In English Class were always smart. Nancy, Wini, Bickey and Tillie Never were so very silly Joe and Andrew who lov'd many a sport Never gave English a mere thought. Carmine and Louie, two new members in our class Who helped to brighten up our class We thank Miss Bradford who patience had, For wc never intended to be bad. -M. Miller, '46. -V. Sylvia, '46. IT'S TRUE ' One night several months ago as I sat a-er- doing my homework and thinking of the his- tory lesson we had had that day, about the period of the Renaissance and the Reform- ation and Henry VIII, I idly flipped the dial of the radio which I had turned on to aid Cahemh my concentration. Unable to find Bing Cri- I mean the opera, I was about to turn it off when a nasal voice broke in through the station, bending nearer I caught the words: Ladies and Gentlemen of the radio audience you have just heard five min- utes of the transcribed music of the Renais- sance Rhythm Boys, brought to you by the Chic Beheading Robe Co. makers of the new streamlined gore-absorbing shrouds. Just the thing for our up-and-coming victim to make his or her debut in. Remember the motto of our company, You pay more, but there's less gore. Now Station H-E-N-R-Y takes you to the Henry VIII Memorial Ball Park, where a double header will take place. We now switch controls to our on-the-spot- at - every - killing,-always - there - ready- and-willing reporter, who is covering this event:- Hello! Hello! Hello everybody! This is your roving reporter right on the spot for a story. As you know, today, the Henry VIII Memorial Ball Park is featuring a double header. First on the list is the beheading of Anne Boleyn, former wife of the illustrious owner of this stadium and second Roger the Rogue, a commoner. Before proceedings be- gin we will now take you down into the stands to see what snatches of conversation we can pick up. Take it, George:- We are now down in the stands. Oh it's a maxi- mum crowd today. The sun is shining bright- ly and what fine way to start the season. Now I am going to ask you to listen closely and you may be able to hear some of the comments being made by the fans. Get your programs here, you can't fell the victims without a program! Well Bill, at last things have come a head. I think that Henry the Eighth is a no-good skunk. He's a big-Help! Ahgg!-Oh this pleasant hate we return you to the press box. The first up is a woman yes it's Anne Boleyn. The fans seem to like her they're giving her a big hand. The executioner lifts the blade, several attempts to drop it cor- rectly are madeg the fans are going wild! Wait, Wait I think-yes, she's out! Pandemo- nium reigns. What? No, No, I didn't mean it, guard, really, please, please! CNasal voice breaksb Due to conditions beyond our con- 53 trol we are unable to iinish this broadcast. Our reporter made the error of insinuating that anyone besides Henry VIII reigns. What followed I didn't hear because static and my mother intervened. Anne St. Ger- main this is the first time I have ever had to tear you away from the opera at 11:30,', she stormed. But mother, that was--. Oh well what's the use of explaining she'd never believe me I still say, though, that I did hear it really I did. Don't put me away. It's true! It's true! -Anne St. Germain, '48. EASTER IN BUNNY TOWN Down in the valley, near the great river, there was much excitment in Bunny town. For it was the day before Easter and not an egg could be found. You see, all the egg- makers, bunnies like old Dr. Thistlewaite and Councilman Bunniiuff were off at a con- vention in nearby Moleville and the little bark boats which were to bring them back down the great river had been sunk in a big storm just the other day. And so. there they were, stranded in Moleville, while their fel- low rabbits in Bunny Town held their heads and took aspirins by the dozen-for what was Easter without eggs? That night, there were meetings in all the fashionable hutches of the town, meetings at which nothing was done, for Bunny Town was in a state of chaos. Meanwhile, in a broken-down shack by the river, little Orville Rabbit, an orphan, who was ridiculed by the others because he believed in fairies and because he was not so smart as say-Henry and Harry Hare, sat wondering what he could do. Orville hadn't been invited to the meetings because no one thought he was bright enough to have a good idea. Finally, after much thought, Or- ville silently slipped out into the night. The next day, the sun rose on a sad Bunny Town. It was a glorious morning, but there was no joy in bunny hearts. Mr. Cottontail, an old and respected villager, walked sadly over to the door of his hutch, but what he saw ouside caused him to shout to his wife, Look, Look at what's in the street ' His shout aroused all the other villagers who came swarming out in nightgowns and bath- robes. As a matter of fact, the Widow Fluff- ball came out in such a hurry that she didn't even have time to take the curlers out of her ears! And guess what they saw? Yes, it was a big cart of eggs with a swell card attached bearing the words- Compliments of the fairies and their friend Orville Rabbit. -M. L. Cantwell, '48. THE ELEMENT OF BEING EARNEST The dictionary states that the element of being earnest means to be zealous and direct of purpose, fervent, with sincere or serious intent. Men who possess this quality of earn- estness are of the type which are able to keep walking steadily in the path that they have chosen, despite the many obstacles faced along the way. One will certainly reach his goal if he possesses this characteristic. In my opinion, earnestness goes hand in hand with perseverance because while per- severance is the constant effort, earnestness is the enthusiasm which backs up the effort. Perseverance and earnestness are the forms of energy which enable us to develop suffi- cient strength of will never to be discouraged by the task we have to encounter in accom- plishing what we set out to do. Using an illustration of the preceding state- ment, I will turn my thought to a man who is familiar to all of us, the recently deceased president, Franklin Delano Roosevelt. He definitely possessed those two qualities, per- severance and earnestness in his make up which made him one of the immortals in the annals of American History. ln the year 1921. the year in which Roosevelt was climb- ing high in the field of politics, he was strick- en with infantile paralysis. Many people thought that this was the last of him. Mr. Roosevelt had a different ideag he overcame his deadly sickness and rose to the nation's highest office. How did he accomplish this? By use of the characteristics, earnestness and perseverance. Great men who have possessed these out- standing elements in their character make up- along with Roosevelt, were Benjamin Franklin, Abraham Lincoln and Thomas Edi- son. Two high school students are given assign- ments to do regularly, one, whom I shall call John, possesses intelligence but lacks the quality of being earnest, the other, Bill, is earnest but not too intelligent. Bill hands his assignments in on time but John does not. The term ends, who in your opinion should get the better mark? You must take in consideration that John receives high rat- ings in his tests and oral reports than Bill does. but in my opinion the better mark should go to Bill because he had tried harder, using the element, earnestness. In conclusion, I shall take the word, earn- est, break it apart, letting each letter stand for a characteristic which has to do with the element. E, represents enthusiasm, the way which you approach the object, A, for the 54 ardent manner, R1 the riches you will gain by being earnest, N, the necessity of this particular quality, E, stands for effortg S, for sincerity and finally, T, for tactfulness. -Albert Osterberg, '46, TOO LATE Yes, too late-everything was always too late for me. Even Van the man in my life was too late. For although he loved me, he met me too late, for he was engaged to Mademoiselle Duchin, the richest and most beautiful girl in the country But even now, it was too late, for I had signed my confes- sion and had left it with the hotel clerk. To Be Opened at Midnight, when it would be too late for anybody to do anything because here I was directing the taxi driver to the Old Stone Bridge. I began to realize that that this was the end-the only way out. As we reached our destination, another taxi drove up behind us, and I recognized my boss, editor of The Flash, who was running after me and screaming something about losing my job. Surely, he didn't know yet. This is a good break for you. You'1l cer- tainly go places if you get this story. He rambled on about the murder of Mlle Duchin, the murder that I already knew about. I decided to do one last favor for my boss and so directed the taxi driver to Riverview Drive. I arrived at the beautiful mansion and looking as eager as I could, I asked the D. A. for the gruesome details. He showed me the body, and then suddenly shocked me by say- ing that it was suicide. ' Yessiree, no clues, no murderer, no mo- tive. and as he raved on I smiled to myself and thought, How stupid of him-the per- fect murder! Ha! No murderer, no motive, but I did have a motive. Yes, I was insanely jealous of her. Van had wanted me, not that beautiful snob, and I would get him or else-but now, wasn't it too late? Too late? No, for once it wasn't too late. It was sui- cide, not murder, and I was free. But then I thought of the note To Be Opened at Mid- night. I must get it! It's not too late! But the clock struck twelve-too late again. They'd be on my trail now. But they would never get me. I took some pills from my pocket-death in ten minutes-the only way out, and waited patiently for death. But here was Van, talking to me. In the midst of the excitement, he wanted to talk to me. I couldn't believe my ears He was proposing to me-telling me everything-the suicide the fire in the hotel-what! My confession would be in ashes now I was free at last! I'll go places now-at the Flash I'd be chief reporter. I'd marry Van, and be happy for the rest of my life. But too late, certainly, everything was al- ways too late for me. Even from the start. everything was too late. -Catherine Connery, '46 A FAIRY TALE CFor the little brothers and sisters of those who buy the Green and White.J Once upon a time in Fairyland, there lived a beautiful little Princess Cfor what kind of a fairy tale would this be without a Prin- cess?D The Princess lived until her sixteenth year in her fatheris golden palace Cwhich to ordinary Grown-Up Eyes may have looked like a buttercupl. About this time she began to feel bored with her sheltered life, so with her parent's permission, she set out on a trip to see what the rest of Fairyland looked like. Before she left, she scooped out the inside of a dandelion seed and packed some clothes in it. Two strong little goblins were sent along with her to carry her luggage and protect her against harm. A few fields away there was a large fairy kingdom ruled by a Prince whose noble face and manly form caused every feminine heart to love him at first sight. But he had a violent temper which he lost very often. This was sad because it was his only draw- back from happiness. Two things that the Prince was constantly searching for were a beautiful maiden who would stay in love with him and help him rule his kingdom, and a way to cure his temper. He was be- coming discouraged because he could not get either of these two things. He was riding his snow-white steed about the country side one day, when his heart stood still, for he had seen the little Princess, and she was the lady of his dreams. The little Princess saw him at the same time and fell madly in love with him. The Prince decided then and there that he would make her his wife and resolved never to lose his temper so that he would never lose her love. Then he had found the answer to his problem and that answer was unselfish love. And so they were married and lived happily ever after. -Barbara Shusman, '46. A DAY IN TYPING CLASS The lunch period is almost over and every- one is standing on the curb stone waiting for the bell to ring, especially the people who are going to typing as they want to be sure to get a good typewriter. The bell rings, and to the onlooker it seems as though a race has started. Every- one is running across the street into Andrews School, up the stairs and into the typing room. Books and papers go flying. Who's trying to grab a Royal or an Underwood? Someone yells, Save me that Tin Can CUnde1-wood? or, get me that Royal. Everyone is talking at once, each trying to be heard above his friends. This goes on until the teacher arrives and makes the class come to order. Each person then starts to work on his or her assigned task, each one saying he is go- ing to accomplish something this period. They type a few words and then-an error. Out comes the eraser. The error is corrected and then the typing goes on. Then another error. Slam, bang goes the carriage and the pupil starts making faces or calls the type- writer names as though it were the type- writer's fault. Time is slipping past and before long there is a stack of crumpled paper beside each typewriter. The end of the period is drawing near and a few people are working like mad trying to finish what they have started, others start to pick up their papers and get their books in order, and others have been sitting ready to leave for about fifteen minutes, having given up long before. The bell rings and as is expected everyone starts talking again. After the room is put in order the pupils proceed to their next class hoping that to- morrow they will be able to accomplish more. -Estelle Vona, '46. DOWN WITH WOMEN Don't be fooled by laughing eyes, Don't be flattered or idolized, For these are the traits of women. men, Taking you for all your worth, and then, Casting you aside like a butterfly, Without even the twinkle of an eye, They'l1 smile at you and say, Im true, And before you know it, you're through, So step in line, and come along, Away from women and their song, And let your motto always stay, Down with women from this day. -Anthony Bernardo, '46. THE THREE FIGHTING GUARDS It was after the embarrassing volley ball game with the sophomores that made us de- cide right then and there that we would de- feat them in the basketball tournament The volley ball season ended with the proud sophomores as victors. Basketball season opened with the under classmen superior in number and with this disadvantage, the loyal seniors were at every practice with the ardent desire to fulfill their determination to win. After weeks of practice, positions were as- signed and teams formed. The Senior First Team consisted of Mary Lou Serbst, Frances Ann Doyle, Irene Correira, Carmela Giordan- co and Martha Miller as forwards with Anne Bruno, Rose Dias, and Roz August as the three fighting guards. After weeks of anxious waiting, the Seni- or-Soph game was fought From the sound of the opening whistle un- til the clang of the closing bell, each Senior ri L EU la CLASS OF 1944 Josephine Abate, Student, R.

After the first quarter the seniors were all smiles and at the half the upperclassmen were ahead by a seven-point lead. Though no one said anything the seniors secretly thought that they would win, but they were dumbfounded when the sophomore forwards were sinking every try. The score was rolling up and with one minute more to play the score was tied. During this last minute, every Senior player woke upf' but the odds were against them. The ball was in sophomore hands with the forwards ready to shoot and sink them but the three fight- ing guards tried their last play. A senior guard intercepted a pass, threw a swift ball to Mary Lou Serbst and our top scorer sank a nifty basket. The whistle! The game was won! The fighting guards dream had come true. -Anne Bruno, '46. iEVl2li'l!I S Susie Cupolo, Crown Fastener Corp., War- ren William Di Salvo, U. S. Army Joan Doyle, Student, R. I. C. E.

Bill of Rights. These young men should be an in- spiration to the student body because the majority of them have seen foreign service, have mingled with men of all types, and yet returned to high school to complete their education, which was interrupted by the war. They are here because they realize that an education is of the utmost importance. This decision of these soldier-students to return to continue -their studies should inspire each and every underclassman to do his best to acquire a good sound education. If these boys who have seen so much of the world and who have matured in so short a period of time realize the value of a good education and are willing to settle down and plug, at least, we, the members of Bristol High School, who have never had to face any real hardships, should be able to concentrate on our studies and to prepare ourselves to be better fitted as future citizens to govern and protect our magnificent country. SO THERE LET THEM REST ON THEIR SUN-SCORCHED ATOLL The island of Betio is situated at the tip of an atoll, named Tarawa Atoll. Tarawa Atoll is one of the many that make up the Gilbert Islands. The Gilbert Islands is that group that lies five hundred miles south of the Marshall Islands, in the central Pacific. One can readily realize how inconspicuous Betio island is to the world. Yet, to a world at war, this island, less than a square mile in size, became on November 20, 1943, the most conspicuous island in the world. By November 1943, the United States was definitely on the offensive. Actually our forces were engaged in the early stage of offence, for up to this period, Guadalcanal was the only island we had taken from the Japanese. Our Navy needed bases on the Marshall and the Gilbert Islands. The Gil- berts were next on the list. Betio Island was the key. To conquer Betio, Naval Task Forces moved into the Gilberts. Troop-ships loaded down with Marines, Battleshipsg Coastguard landing- boat crews, various detachments of Naval land base personnel, including Seabee con- struction crews and with them came the new- est battle paraphernalia. On D day, November 20, 1943, after years of minutes, came the zero hour. The result is history: Everything went wrongg an Admiral is credited as saying, After we shell that fort- ress, if there is a mosquito living, l'll eat my hat. The Japanese Imperial Marines who were defending the island suffered little or no casualties by the Bombardment. Aerial Photography had failed to uncover the barbed-wire that surrounded the island, underwater. Thousands of yards of this barbed-wire lay silently below the surface of the water, in waiting for the landing par ties. The greatest of all impediments was that the depth of the water surrounding Betio had not been computed correctly or not computed at all. The men of the Second Marine Division never reached the beach in their landing craft. Six hundred feet out, the boats hit upon the rough, sharp, strong, coral reef. In the time it takes one to snap his fingers they made up their minds to face sure death. They could easily have faltered. They went in on their objective. Five thousand Japanese Imperial Marines, the cream of their race, the cream of the Japanese Armed Forces, were now confident of victory. For here they were entrenched along the beach in the strongest of pill-boxes. These pill-boxes spaced fifty yards apart. Typical Japanese smiles and smirks passed over their faces now. They could see clear- ly through their machine gun slits, the Amer- ican Leathernecks attempting to wade in. Each pill-box had machine guns mounted, covering a restricted cover of fire. The fire began and it was never to cease until each American lay dead in the water and this end was more probable than possible. Seventy-two hours had gone by. In this, the bloodiest seventy-two hours in Marine Corps History, the job was ended. The United States Marines reduced 500 pill-boxes and the estimated 5,000 Japanese to a stink- ing mass of coconut logs and rotting bodies. The few coconut trees still standing were but thin high stumps. All around the coastline concrete anti-boat blocks laced with barbed wire still protruded, challenging still. The unconquerable will of the marines had won out. They had made a landing here and there around the island. These landings were the foot-holds that enabled more Ma- rines to land and where the first landings were made the reef held bulks of amphibian tractors and other landing craft that tried to reach their goal. The Official number of Japanese dead will never be known exactly but the number of Jap prisoners taken is known. Known very well to be none at all! The Official number of American dead is 1,026. It is hardly an accurate figure. It is the opinion of the men who buried our men, to be more accurately stated, over 3,000 men. This figure is an abstract figure but I believe it to be closer to the truth than the former. Let it be understood that conditions immedi- ately following the Battle prevented an ac- curate number being ascertained. So now we have in the central Pacific, in the Gilbert Islands and on the Tarawa Atoll a prominent Battle ground on the lit- tle coral isle that is Betio. On Betio is buried a conspicuous number of Americans. I have heard and read many tributes writ- ten in memory of the fighting Marines. I remember well a sign written on a coco- nut log gate, leading into the main cemetery on Betio. It reads: Here lie Officers and Men of The Second United States Marine Division who Fell in Action on This Atoll, November 20, 1943 So there let them rest. On their sun scorched atoll. The wind for their watches, the waves for their shroud Where Palm and pandaners shall whisper forever A requiem fitting for heroes so proud. -A. J. Dennis, Jr., '47. A VETERAN'S THOUGHT Here I am, back in the harness of school again! How many times have I thought how calm and peaceful it would be to be a senior once more in the Bristol High. In the service, far out in the Pacific and Atlantic waters everyone had a chance to think of the dearly loved schools which he once attended. Yes, from the cold rough Atlantic to the warm sunny Pacific, fellows from every state used to wonder if they would ever- have a chance to return to their respective high school, and carry on as of yore. Being extremely fortunate, I have been able to return to my studies, for which I thank God. To be back in school again gives me a great opportunity to use all I have seen and learn- ed in the service. Some of the very ideas which I talked about with Bristol fellows i while in distant lands are being realized to- day. How good it feels to be back in class learning the right way to do things, so that in the future a young man may carry out his normal ambitions without interruptions. -Louis Stanzione, '46. ON MY WAY TO TOKYO Our story takes place around the later part of the Okinawa Campaign, on board an American Battlewagon. All is quiet on board this night after a hard day with the Nips. We go below three decks and find a stern looking fellow on his bunk, writing letters. His name is Kriz BM lfc. Across, beyond him, we find a gunner who is look- ing forward to catch that first liberty boat to Tokyo. Down through the passage way we go, till we come to the younger crowd of the ship, where yours truly is pretty tired and get- ting underway for a good night's sleep. Then Miller with his rebel accent asks, Say, Al, lend me your soap? So up and out to my locker to accommodate my mate with some sweet smelling soap I received from back home. At last the lights finally go out, because it's nine o'clock. It is all quiet now and everyone is all snug in his rack wondering what adventure tomorrow will bring. Some- how we just do not get to sleep right away, until we think over the day's events. Reveille comes an hour before sunrise. We are still tired and for the most part dopey. Putting on our duds, we head for our battle- stations. Up to the fantail to Quad 16 and report to the gunner, who is in charge, that we are now manned and ready for the dawn, alert. We think that this is just awful, to wake us up so early in the morning when we are not bothered by the Japs. Miller al- ways helps the morale with some of his say- ings and one goes like this: This is the Ad- mira1's toy fleet, so just sit tight and pull in the slack. We now can see the sun dawning at the horizon. It sure is a pretty sight. Sudden- ly over the ship's loud speaker comes the word. Boogie 280-20 miles. A boogie is an unidentified plane. We now prepare for what may come-load our guns, put our helmets on, flash gear in and in some cases put on facial cream to prevent our skin from burns. We start our motors to put our guns into quick action. Everyone is breathing easy and staring at the hauldown. From the horizon comes our target. It is only a lost night-fighter from one of our flattops., We are breathing normal again and start kidding each other. Say, Big Al, I bet you were scared, comes from one of the shell passers. Who. me? Certainly not. Do I look like a cowboy or a Rebel from away down Geor- gia? I'm a New Englander, remember that. Then it comes all at once. Where is that? When did they let it in the Union? Do they wear shoes up there? It all stops when the word to secure from General Quarters is passed. Everyone is busily putting their shells, helmets and other gear in their proper places. It is a sort of game. The first one who gets through hits the chow line first. He then has the privilege of sitting back on the steel deck, where the after chow line is formed. Crack remarks are made to some of the sail- ors in line. Some of the remarks sound like this: How many times did you run through the line this morning, Ski? Only a rebel would eat what they have this morning, Mack? This goes on until eight bells or eight o'clock. It's time to turn to mean- ing time to start work. Down I go to the ship's laundry. We cease from work at the sound of six bells, which is sweet chimes to all our ears. Up to the hangout where working hours. When I get there, there is much talk coming from Kriz, that Bull Hal- sey is going to take us to Honshu to bom- bard it with our sixteens. It's argued back and forth until silence is brought about by the noon day news. It was sweet music to our ears, to hear that we will be headed for Lwyte at four o'clock for plenty of rest, vacation, and supplies. During the time of our return to port there are many happenings aboard. Some sights we long for, too. we meet after As we zig zag through the gigantic fleet, we hear many salty remarks coming from our mates. A few one might hear are: Here is the 'U.S.S. Washingtonf I've got a hometown friend on that. Look! The Franklin had rejoined the fleet. Boy, just gander your eyes on that super dreadnaughtf' Isn't that the Mighty Missouri? Then there's a long blast indicating the ship has stopped. Everyone cheers, as though it were a hero. Liberty Call is usually next of All Boots Alongside. Miller comes running up to me asking, Have you got your liberty card? The scuttlebutt here is that we get three 63 cans of cold beer and a cement basketball court. Getting into the boat is some fun. Finally we are headed for Iaclobban. We have all clean dungarees and we have more money than one can spend on a deserted Pacific Is- land. It does help the morale. On the beach we draw our rations of food and drinks. Then over to some shady spot to relax. After horsing around with a ball, we decide to find a native village to collect more curios for our personal collections. Arriving at a small village, the smell of the air seems awful after being at sea with the clean salt air. Natives live in broken down huts, some made of straw and mud. Natives come up to us asking if we are will- ing to trade their goods, made by hand, for our American cigarettes, which are our prize trading article on all the islands. After a fashion of sight seeing and trading, we start heading back to the landing. It was prob- ably a dead day ashore, but to hear Miller and a few others speak of the recreation party, one might think we were in Frisco or Los Angeles on a weekend. Arriving at the ship, we found two large cargo ships tied alongside, giving us our stores and ammunition. This was very un- usual. We often are in port for a few days or so, but something must be coming up. All of a sudden it dawns on me. It couldn't be true! Yet it didn't sound so silly either! Miller asked, What are you so quiet about, Al? Nothing I was just thinking what Kriz had told us about the Bull taking us to Hon- shu. Oh nuts, Al. The trouble with you is that you're too Asiaticli' Maybe I was, or wasn't I taking too much for granted? That night we had our movies on the main deck aft as part of our routine. It was us- ually some old reel that played at the corner Bifou for a month or more. It did help the fellows to relax, help the minds and soothe the body. At seven bells that night, we got unex- pected news over the ship's loud speaker. It was the skipper himself giving out with the latest news. This was It! This was what we were looking forward to. Our first chance to punch the Japs in their own backyard. We were to get underway that next morning with but a few ships to bombard, with our sixteens, the major island of the Jap home- land, Honshu. Our target was to be the Imperial Iron Works. I don't believe anyone slept that night with all the eiccitement. I spent most of that night down in the Mess Hall drinking Joe Ccolfeeh to keep my nerves calm. I also heard much talk that Kriz cleaned up a few of the boys that were betting against his story. The next morning brought us six miles from the Japanese coast. So far everything was running smoothly and no opposition un- til our first salvo let loose. Then it came, the timid answer of the Japs. They were Bring short, but it gave us something to think about. It all stopped when our secondary battery cut them short of their speaking. It lasted for some time. While pulling out of the considered danger area, we had a slight air attack, which did no damage to the battle force or to us. Little did we know that this was going to be our last bit of ac- tion and last shells fired in World War II for us. We got our orders on August 16, 1945 to proceed to Tokyo Bay. On August 18, we entered the lower part of the bay called Sagami Wan. The 28th saw us steam into the bay to occupy it. The majority of the crew vol- unteered for the beach landing operation as occupational forces. Division officers, for the most part, drew lots. The gunner and Kriz are still arguing who was the first bluejacket off the U.S.S. South Dakota to hit Japa- nese soil first. It was honor and glory they were looking for. The next thrilling day came on September second, the signing of the peace treaty on board the Mighty Missouri which was only a city block or two away from us We were like children with a new toy that day. It was also at this time that Admiral Nimitz used our ship, though the South Dakota was his Hagship. Our next and last thrilling moment, for the most part of the crew together, was when Admiral William F. Halsey took us beneath the Golden Gate Bridge that foggy afternoon in October, 1945. One more thing I'll re- member are the words the gunner told me as we were going under the bridge, with whistles blowing. Take a look, Al. Land of the Free, Home of the Brave, and plenty of wine, women, and song. -Albert H.

Why, hello, Mrs. Smith. How have you been? Just fine! I thought I'd drop in for a few minutes since I was passing by, you know. Won't you come in and sit down. I've been so busy getting Rose's clothes ready for school tomorrow. She is a Sophomore now you know and I can not realize it because it seems we just left there ourselves. Yes, I certainly remember how small we felt that first day at Colt High, and how the Seniors seemed so important and sophisticatedlto us. I couldn't help laughing when I saw Savy Vitello running around the school. The Seniors were having fun with all the Sophomore boys. And how about Francis Velleca and the way he blushed when he was told to propose to one of the Senior girls. Ant Bernardo also got his share of hazing. I was losing confidence in myself but gained it back when I walked into the Auditorium for our first assembly. Well, it didn't take long for things to start humming with our class. Be- fore I realized it, I was looking forward to going to our first class meeting for election of officers. Remember how we elected Fred Costa our president? Yes, he certainly was well-liked and still is. I just saw him the other day and he's just as happy-go-lucky as ever and still has that contagious laugh. By the way, who were the other officers elected? Don't you remember? Al Osterberg was Vice-president, Margaret Guev- remont, Secretary and Estelle Vona, treasurer. Our class really showed interest in school activities early in the year, didn't they? Wasn't the Hallowe'en Party fun. I still think everyone should have worn costumes. My. Al Osterberg shocked everybody when he walked in as Hollywood Joe. ' CFootball Song! If you love the game. Then came sports and we were very proud to see Sophomore boys on the football team. Then I was ex- cited about the A. A. Dance which was going to take place after football season. Yes. Believe me we Sophomores were well represented at that dance. My, was I surprised to see Joe George walk in with Sally Mapes and Bernie with Frances Ann. Then there was Peg and her Junior Mike, and Red and Skip. My, that year flew by and we were back in school as Juniors before we realized it. - You know, that year we were lucky to be put in the same homeroom, al- though we gave Mr. Walker more than one headache with our foolish antics. I think we had our election early that year, didn't we, because it was right after the Senior election which was early in the year. I'l1 never forget the arguments they had over that election. It's a wonder Mr. Canario didn't resign from his position as faculty advisor. Why, I believe that's what started the feud between the College Prep and Commercial Class. It really was silly the way the whole class acted. Anyway, we finally elected John Balzano. President, Dick Torrey, Vice- President, Margaret Guevremont, Treasurer and Estelle Vona, Secretary. What were some of the activities we took part in that year? Well, there was the Hallowe'en Party and that was a lot of fun. Yes, and the football games were always a lot of fun too, and especially when we came so close to winning the championship. I can always remember Catherine Connery and you cheering at the games.

I know it, but the girls gave the team all their support, and were looking forward to another A. A. Dance. Talk about dances! Why, do you remember the way the boys used to sit around and watch everyone else dance. I never could see why, because they really weren't bashful. Even Mr. Carlson's persuasive manner didn't help any. . Well, there was always a thing I never looked forward to and that was examinations, especially Sten! What a relief when they were over. Then the weather grew warmer and we were all turning our thoughts to our most important activity, the Junior Prom. Estelle and Margaret had quite a job keeping those prom bids in order and away from inquisitive people, especially you and me. 'CWALTZD The Auditorium really looked lovely that evening, the committee cer- tainly did a good job decorating the hall. Yes, and didn't Roz August look cute that night with those lovely flowers in her hair. Everything was very colorful and all the girls looked lovely. Don't forget the boys, they looked handsome. Finally we were Seniors and that Senior year was the best of all. CCLASS MARCH? I'l1 never get over that thrill of walking into the Auditorium with the un- derclassmen standing, I waited two long years for that. Oh, to be Seniors again. Remember the day we walked into Room 1 after class elections and we saw that Dick Torrey had been elected Presi- dent of the Senior Class and Al Osterberg, Vice President, John Balzano, Treasurer and you were the Secretary. Yes, I was very happy about it, and yet a little surprised too, I must admit. The Hallowe'en Party made a deep impression on me that year, the barn- dance was such a very good idea. Even the Christmas Party wouldn't have been a success without our tal- ented seniors, like Louise Texeira, Dorothy August and Margaret Guevre- mont. That magician was very funny. Remember how he fooled Catherine and Frances-Anne with those kerchiefs. And that rope trick with Lydia Bragantine. I wonder if she kept it. That assembly when the footballs, letters, and sweaters were awarded to the football players was something to remember. The boys were so bashful. Dick McGinn and K'Bull Roderigues would have made wonderful Christ- mas decorations with their green sweaters and red faces. The boys didn't keep their footballs long. I wonder if the girls still have them? Mine still is in good condition. I'1l never forget the way Carulli and David sang. I still wonder which one went off key? There were so many good times that it is hard to recall them without sadness. Yes, how about the operetta, and Beatrice Nero peeking out from the cur- tain at the wrong time. Will you ever forget those operetta songs? CSONGSJ ' Then it seemed like no time before we were taking our pictures for the Green and White, and looking forward to graduation. Oh, you're forgetting the most important times, the banquet and class day. I haven't forgotten. I never could, why those were the happiest day of my life. The girls tried hard not to show their tears on the stage, graduation night the attempt was very convincing. I wish that all the boys and girls who are or will ever be Seniors could 68 JUNIOR COMMERCIAL AND GENERAL CLERICAL JUNIOR HOMEMAKING AND INDUSTRIAL ARTS hear us talk. They say, Oh, I'm tired of school, I know because I once said it myself. Mrs. J: But when the realization comes upon you that it's going to be the last time you'l1 be in those corridors and classrooms, well you kind of feel different. Mrs. S: Well, Mrs. Jones it's about time we came back to the present and forgot our high school days. Mrs. J: Who could, and especially our Alma Mater.

After coming through with flying colors the Juniors are looking forward to returning to Colt as full-hedged Seniors. SOPHOMORE CLASS HISTORY The word sophomore is from two Greek words meaning wise and foolish: so, therefore, if we have appeared foolish or stupid at times, just wait, for our true characteristic of wisdom will be revealed in the future. We all admit we were pretty scared the first day we came to Colt, because of the fiendish grins of the upper-classmen and the gruesome stories we had heard. However we were assured by Mr. Burke that no bodily harm would come to us on school groundsg but ...., We received our schedules and with this aid managed to get lost very easily. When we asked directions, we were met with a look of disdain from the upperclassmen, who spat out that contemptible word, Sopho- more! But there was one place wc could find, though, the lunchroom. After a week of school was over, we were fairly well acquainted with Colt and proceeded to wade into our volumes of homework. Of course, this did not deter 70 - us from attending ths school dances, the football and basketball games, in large numbers. In football and basketball were many notable sophomore players.

No officers were elected in order to give each pupil a chance to preside. James Fusco served as the chairman. The club, which was active through-out the year, enjoyed many parties such as Hal1owe'en, Christmas, and Valentine. On December 21, 1946, the members of the club put on an original play at the annual Christmas Party of the Bristol Teach- ers Association. The play was entitled White Christmas and was the story of a man who re- ceived a telegram from the War Department telling him that his son was missing in action. Mr. Meyer, the boy's father, fell asleep and dreamed of the happy days he had spent with his son from childhood to manhood. The following year just be- fore Christmas Mr. Meyer's son walks in very unexpectedly and tells his father how he was forced down in the Pacific but finally was picked up by an American fiyer. This Christmas was the happiest in Mr. Meyer's life. The characters were: Anne Perry ..,.....,........,.., ....... ...........,,........ N a rrator Elizabeth Perry ,,..,. ...,....

NANCY FERRARA '46 FOOTBALL It is with pride that we can look back upon this past football year in which Colt ended its season wearing the crown of 1945 Class C Football Champions. This past season will also prove to be a happy memory to those who played on the squad and who will look back and remember their old football days! This season, though it might not have been the best in Colt history, ranks high when best seasons are being considered. The team had a record of 8 wins and 1 'defeat and 7 Wins and 0 defeats in league competition. Such an excellent record was achieved only by the close cooperation between team and coach and between team and team mate and also a common desire to work and win. In its first game Colt breezed an easy 32-0 victory over East Greenwich. Colt made a favorable impression on the crowd by scoring two touchdowns on its first two plays from scrimmage. With Andrews and Carulli spearheading the attack, Colt found no trouble in trouncing the St. Raphael B team 25-0. Colt's next assignment proved to be a more difficult task for North Providence proved to be a stubborn foe and the Colt forces could only manage an 18-0 victory. Highlights in the victory were Harry Andrews' consistency in running and Richard McGinn's spectacular 65-yard off tackle jaunt. Rushing to 2 early touchdowns, on a 1-yard buck by Velleca and a 25-yard slice by McGinn, Colt caught the bigger DeLaSalle team unawares. But the New- porters regained themselves and even threatened to mar Colt's heretofore unscored upon record. Colt registered another score in the final period on a 20-yard end run by Richard McGinn, The Burrillville Broncos, a feared and most important foe, were Co1t's next opponent. Burrillville had its usual powerhouse led by Skippy LaVoie and Charlie Pelletier. Burrillville, in a series of surprise plays, marched to the Colt 2-foot line early in the first period but the Colt team held the Broncos for 4 downs in one of the most spirited goal line stands in recent Colt history. The remainder of the half saw the game see-sawing back and forth around mid-field. In the second half Colt dominated the play and late in the third quarter, on a 82 ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION FOOTBALL TEAM 20-yard pass from Rene to Dober and a 5-yard power buck by Andrews, Colt scored and made the extra point on a pass from Raiola to Velleca. The Green and White forces never relinquished this lead and left the gridiron with then, undefeated and unscored upon record unblemished. In their next opponent, South Kingstown, Colt met a scrappy foe and could leave the field at the half with only a 6-0 lead which came by way of a 10-yard slash by Tot Carulli. In the second half Colt regained some of its form and scored 3 times on a 30-yard off tackle slant by Velleca, a quarterback sneak by Celone and a 70-yard run by Velleca. South Kingstown, however, became the first team to cross Colt's goal line when Sekator ran back a kickoff for 65 yards. The final score was 25-6. Colt's first and only defeat was suffered at the hands of the powerful Roger's eleven from Class B, 14-0. Drummond accounted for both Roger's scores on runs of 10 and 50 yards. Co1t's traditional rival, Warren, gave Colt an unexpected battle and the Bristol boys could only squeeze out a 12-0 verdict. Colt's scores came as a result of bucks by Andrews and Velleca each resulting in scores. Then came the championship game with Barrington, at Barrington. The field was packed and the day beautiful. Barrington received the kickoff and proceeded to march to the Colt 18 where the Colt forces with a determined effort solved their passing game and stopped their running attack. After this brief march by Barrington, Colt took over and began to dominate the play. In the second period Colt crossed up their opponents with an unexpected pass from Velleca to Bernardo which covered 40 yards and resulted in a score. The extra point was missed but Bristol led 6-0. Colt completely dominated the second half play missing a chance to score when they fumbled on Barrington's 10 yard line and the game ended with the ball on Barrington's 7-yard line. The team left the field 6-0 victors and Class C champions. Those playing their last game for Colt were Anthony Bernardo, David Mirabassi, John Balzano, Larry Rodriques, Anthony Desmarais, Jack Moren, Fred Costa, An- thony Ferrara, Joe Ferreira, Harry Andrews, Richard McGinn, Salvatore Carulli and Francis Velleca. FRANCIS VELLECA BASKETBALL Colt won its second consecutive Class C championship this year, sharing the basketball honors as co-champions with Barrington. This championship was more than just another championship for it typified the fighting spirit of the Colt team. When the schedule was half completed Colt rested in third place and winning the championship was considered an impossibility. But the Green and White forces knowing that the obstacles ahead of them were great went out and despite these obstacles took the Class C championship right from under the noses of Barrington and South Kingstown. Colt lost with its pre-season warmup games to the Alumni and Rogers by scores of 49-45 and 42-40 respectively. The team was led by Al Osterberg who scored 16 points in each game. Again led by Al Osterberg, the Colt five scored a 31-28 victory over Cumberland in its flrst league game. With Bernardo scoring 8 of his 13 points in the last quarter, Colt overcame Rhode Island School of the Deaf and defeated them 26-23. Dick Rene, scoring 17 and 21 points in Colt's two defeats of North Kingstown, 52-26 and Warren 51-27, sparked the Colt forces next two wins. Then the boys went on to win their fifth straight league victory scoring a 28-20 win over Sacred Heart. After winning five straight league games, Colt lost a heart breaker at the hands of South Kingstown. Although playing without the services of four regulars, the Colt five, with Osterberg playing a leading role, played an inspired game and lost only in the wanning minutes to Bruce Blount and his South Kingstown forces. Seventy-seven points, a Colt high, were scored against Co1t's next foe, Coventry, 84 BASKETBALL TEAM BASEBALL TEAM and Richard Rene scored the highest total for a Colt player thus far inthe season, 37, when Colt defeated East Greenwich 58-19. Many thought that Co1t's 36-34 defeat at the hands of Barrington really knocked them out of the Class C race. Barrington, with Gerry McMann playing mag- nificently and scoring the winning basket, ended the half season with a 9-0 record. Bernie Bernardo and Dick Rene were outstanding for Colt scoring 15 and 13 points respectively while Tot Carulli played a bang up all around defensive game. Beginning the second half of their schedule, Colt defeated Cumberland by a 57-38 score. Rene led the Colt attack in scoring 27 of Colt's total points. R. I. Deaf forfeited their game to Colt and then Colt went romping merrily on their way by trouncing Warren 65-28. Colt's blistering attack in this game led by Bernardo's sharpshooting had Warren in a daze. Bernardo was high scorer with 22 points. An unexpected scare was given Colt by North Kingstown who led Colt up until the last 5 minutes and then Colt managed to pull out a 34-29 victory. Tot Carulli scoring 8 points in these last few minutes paved the way for Colt's comback. Berard and Moreau, sparking the Sacred Heart offense, provided many miserable moments for the Colt five, but Colt stepping up the pace in the last quarter pulled ahead and won, 317-29. Holding the mighty Bruce Blount to 8 points, and along with Bernardo's deadly accuracy in scoring 19 points were the two main factors in Colt's 38-34 victory over South Kingstown at Wakefield. The work of stopping Bruce Blount was given to Al Osterberg and Richard Rene who performed their job flawlessly. The game was tied up at the end of the regular time and had to go into an extra period. Colt scored five quick points and put the game on ice. With Osterberg's 46 points featuring the play of the game, Colt defeated Cov- entry 74-25. Osterberg's total was the highest number of points scored by an indi- vidual player of the season. Osterberg continued on his scoring spree against East Greenwich. His deadly eye accounted for 28 points in Colt's 64-29 triumph over East Greenwich. The scene was Barrington High School gym and on the basketball court 10 high school boys deliberately and nervously were waging a battle to decide the Class C basketball championship. The dui-e1 was a defensive one, the game being nip and tuck all the way. In the last minute, with the score tied at 22 all, Velleca's 2 pointer decided the encounter and Colt won this thriller 24-22 to tie Barrington for the top and end their long but spirited uphill battle. Bernardo played an excellent all around game and led the scorers with 10 points. It was decided to have co-champions and Colt was to meet DeLaSalle in the State playoffs at Marvel Gym. In the playoffs Colt was overwhelmed by its Class A foe, DeLaSalle, by a score of 53-34. DeLaSalle played a classy game with a lot of excellent passing. The Colt five was not in its best form and could not match, off DeLaSa1le's backboards, DeLa- Salle's superior height. George Bryer took scoring honors with 21 points. This ended the Colt basketball season and those seniors participating in their last game were Joe Cordeiro, Al Osterberg, Anthony Bernardo, Salvatore Carulli and Francis Velleca.
