Bulkeley High School Class of 1975 It matters not how a man dies, but how he lives — James Boswell 2 UE.against.the wall. —I WK Who says we’re conceited??? The Lord prefers common¬ looking people.

Despite the fact that Mr. Cordon is pictured behind his desk, he is the type of principal who is more often seen in the corridors talking with students, watching, observing, grasping and taking in all that he can about the school and its students. He has been at Bulkeley for only a short time and he has won the trust of the students. His patience and good judgment have helped us through the bad times and guided us through the good times. For these reasons we, the Class of 1975, dedicate our yearbook to Mr. Ralph T. Conlon, Jr. ACADEMICS Never forget Bulkeley. Look back and remember. Remember the people who kept it going, the faculty and the administration. Smile when you think of them. They helped make you who and what you are now. Mitchel S.

English Great leaders are great leaders because through their command of vocabulary power and culture they are able to make others see and feel what they see and feel. Gain this power for yourself and you will have at your service the greatest force ever put into the hands of mankind. Joseph G. Brin Michael Brescia Victor Brygna Terry Flowers Charlotte Cagan Mary Caffrey Judith Kline Marion Hamlet William Foye Timothy Murphy Claire O’Toole Robert Pisarski Arthur Pepin Walter Blake Marie Gubitz Roy Lawrence Rita McCarthy Dominic Castagna Louis DeLoreto Math What we do may be small, but it has a certain character of permanence; and to have produced anything of the slightest permanent interest, whether it be a copy of verses or a geometrical theo¬ rem, is to have done something utterly beyond the power of the vast majority of men. G. H. Hardy Elinor Pease Daniel Riccio Charles Wagar Geraldine Lacker Gertrude Widerkrantz Lucille Blue Science Life is a wondrous phenomenon. I can only hope that some day man will achieve a deeper insight into its nature and its guiding princi¬ ples and will be able to express them in more exact terms. It is this mysterious quality of life that makes biology the most fascinating of sciences. To express the marvels of nature in the language of science is one of man’s noblest endeavors. I see no reason to expect the completion of that task within the near future. Arline Brick Albert Szent-Gyorgi Richard Gardiner Edward Korisky Dennis Nogiec Richard Prentice Helmi Pucino Theodore Stopyra Robert Sampl Steven Morrell Margaret Sapega Wesley Vandervliet History In our books lives the soul of the past, the achievements and makers of the past, who when understood, can provide guidance for the future. Looking backward and evaluating what has happened is an important part of looking for¬ ward and planning for the future. Howard H. Eibling Noreen Nagle David Kleinman Languages In the human relations a little language goes farther than a little of almost anything else. Whereas one language now often makes a wall, two can make a gate. Walter V.

In the case of Bulkelcy’s fine clubs they just add to what a great group of people Already had. We muse appreciate what these organizations have done for us, and think about the changes and hopes they bring for the future. We say thank-you to the clubs of 74-71 for a job well done, and good ' luck to the future clubs of BUS, who we know will do a job almost as gimd as we have done. Yearbook Staff The yearbook staff has had the difficult job of placing four years of memories, each one different in the minds,.o ' f 350 sen¬ iors, into a short book of 200 pages. ■ . 1 Trying to take a piece of everyone’s experiences and put¬ ting them into these few pages takes dedicated, hard- working and understanding people.

Honor Society These seniors have been hand cho¬ sen by members of the faculty because of their leadership, character and scho¬ lastic ability. These are a, fine group of people who have worked hard for four years and have earned the right to be as proud of their achievements and them¬ selves as we are.

If you ever walked down the hall and thought you saw someone you did not know, don’t be disturbed, they were probably from another school — part of the student exchange pro¬ gram. They try to learn, co mprehend and become friends with new people. Black Awareness The purpose of Black Awareness is to provide social and cultural activities for black students. r 99 Bulkeley ' s This group of people must pucker and fiddle before they can even practice. It takes hard working, patient people to play in a band. especially hard working to be able to play in a band as good as the band we have at B.H.S., because they are the best. 100 Mat Maids Mat maids arc a group of girls who are supporters of the wrestling team and help them out whenever they are needed. These are hard working girls who have enjoyed themselves in helping the team whenever they were able.

These people learn how to act and what goes on behind the scenes as well. ■) These people work ' hard to produce the .fine, work ' that they have, and they deserve a great deal more ' recognitiorf than these, few sentences can give them. t ■ ' 108 Rap Group These people discuss many things of great impor¬ tance.

They are losing five seniors who have contributed a great deal to this year’s squad. Co-captain, Paul Ciotto a point guard, had five assists per game and was a valuable asset on both ends of the court. Co-captain Steve Faulkner was the leading scorer as well as holding the rebounding honors. Ken Donlin helped out in the scoring department, and was also capable of playing tenacious defense. Tim Pitkin, a sparkplug off the bench, gave the team some of the needed depth and rebounding power. Willie Montford pitched in with his quickness and outstanding defensive ability.
