Vol. VI APRIL, 1910 No. 3 Editorial S the school year draws to a close, we can look back with pardonable pride on the record of the year. What high school in this state has proven itself more active in athletics than Bulkeley ? Some, it must be admitted, had stronger teams. This was due almost wholly to a larger student-body and greater facilities. We have already entered into football, basket-ball and track with fair success. ASEBALL, in which we have made a state-wide reputation in the past is entering upon another season. Whether or not Bulkeley shall live up to its “ rep. ” depends entirely on us. With-the five players remaining from last year as a nucleus a successful season seems assured. On paper, the team looks as strong if not stronger than any in this division of the Connecticut I. B. B. A. With an even break in the luck we should go to New Haven to battle for the state championship as in 1906 and 1907. Let everyone strive to make this a banner year. BASEBALL A 2 BULKELEY NEWS l JOTHING is more demoralizing to a A team than to have one or more of its members ineligible because of scholarship conditions. An athlete owes it to the school even more than to himself to see that he is in good standing. Let us hope that those coming under the ban will make a little greater effort in their studies and procure the necessary grade. CONDITIONS In IHemoriam 3osepb Benvenuti, ’os ws-m I rHE undergraduates as well as the Alumni of Bulkeley School have come to realize that someone has passed out of their lives and can never be replaced. The awakening is startling and painful. He has been called to his haven of rest by a Higher Power. vStrong and sturdy of character, with an ever-ready fund of good nature, he possessed those manly qualities that endeared him to all. Without a doubt he was one of the most popular graduates of Bulkeley. As an athlete he was without a peer in local high-school circles. The dash and vim which characterized his play at quarterback and short stop, made him the terror of opposing teams. He received the Latin Prize during his middle year. He sleeps now, free from care and suffering. His memory will be cherished as long as there are any of us who sat with him in the genial charm of his upright ways. God bless, dear old “ Chi.” ♦ m Bur OW to avoid exposure ? That was the question which Fred had asked himself more than a thousand times since he had used the money. Often his thoughts had centered about his self-justification, but in every instance he had come to realize the disgrace of his position. True, he had to support his invalid mother and true the fact, that a sister at college had created the demand which had meant temptation and finally— At the time he had been disgusted, heartsore, filled with a feeling of life’s unfairness. But only last night he had received a letter from the sister in which she had mentioned writing a story with a thief pictured in all the ugly cowardice of his character and she had even added an afterthought as to her loathing for such an individual and his aged mother when he read that letter to her, had taken the opportunity to express her ideas on the subject. Supposing they should learn ? The thought made him shudder. The tender words of his mother. What would she change to? Well did he know that the exposure, if it cau e, would break her heart. But what was the use of worrying ? The question he must settle was some plan, some sure way of averting that dreaded exposure. His employer might find out even though he had apparently covered every loop hole. If he had only known enough to resist the temptation to buy that stock. How he ached to get hold of that rascal whose slippery tongue had induced him to take the step. No plan came to him and it began to appear that he must confess or be found out. His face lost its accustomed look of happiness. His body became thin. Every morning he entered upon his daily task with fearful heart. 4 BUIKEIEY NEWS Then one morning it came. The mine had really proved a success. The papers boomed the stock. He sold out. That very night he fixed up his accounts and returned the money with the interest. The next morning his mother felt relieved upon seeing him so happy. Surely he was feeling better. And no one, but I, has ever learned of Fred’s narrow escape. I was praising him for his honesty, lauding him for his will power, when he told me. It all goes to prove that a man can never tell what he will do under definite circumstances until those temptations become real practical factors. Fred’s sister is now married and he and the mother are left alone to enjoy the finest love on earth. I! HE Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute at Troy, N. Y., which is the oldest school of engineering to be established i’n anv English speaking country, has completed a new laboratory for the departments of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering at a cost of $415,000. This building was erected with part of the million dollars given by Mis. Russell Sage. It is the fourth new building erected by the Institute within the last four yea s. Many new machines have been installed in the laboratories for the tests of strength of materials, one of these having a capacity of one million, two hundred thousand pounds. Two new club houses and the athletic field which contains a baseball diamond, foot-ball field, tennis courts, and running track, are situated on the campus adjacent to the buildings and therefore easy of access for students wishing to use them. The institute gives courses in Civil, Mechanical, and Electrical Engineering, General Science, leading to degrees, Civil Engineer, (C. E.), Mechanical Engineer, (M. E.), Electrical Engineer, (E. E.), and Bachelor of Science, (B. S.). During the past four years the number of students at the school has increased from 225 to 670. HE Basket Ball season, which has been quite successful • is at an end. In every one of the games played, Bulk-eley’s team work and passing surpassed that of their opponents. The Orange and Black however showed an inability to shoot, that should be corrected in future teams. This fact was strongly illustrated in the first Windham game, for if our boys had caged even half their shots we would have won. Both of the Windham games were won by our opponents. In the first game played at Williinantic, Bulkeley’s shooting was poor. The slippery condition of the floor may have had something to do with that. Noble played the best game for the Orange and Black, while Burns starred for the victors. Score, 53-20. The second game with Windham was played at home and was a hotly fought contest. Bulkeley’s team work was excellent and the shooting, although better than that of the first game was a little off color. At the end of the first half Bulkeley lead. Score 11-9. In the second period Windham played harder, making four field and one foul goal. In the same period Bulkeley made two points on free tries. Thus Windham won the second game and the championship. Score, 18-13.

Capt. “Mickey” Shea had ample revenge on Capt. “Jack” Gallivati for the events of Nov. 20, 1909. The largest crowd of the season was present to see the “ fireworks.” Score 29-12. The second game of the series and with it the city championship was won from the Training School Team. This was a very rough and fiercely fought contest. Bulkeley had better team work and a better eye for the basket than the M. T. S. boys. At the end of the first halt the Orange and Black was ahead. The good work was kept up through the second period Training never being dangerous. Noble, Shea and McGinley were the stars of the contest. Score 34-22. Lineup and Summary Bulkeley M. T. S.

McGinley, right guard on this year’s team and a very heady player, was elected captain for 1910-1911. The Track Meet was held on March 8th for the first time in two years. It was a grand success and Manager Beebe may well be proud of his work. The student body and the faculty are also to be to thanked for their hearty co-operation. The records of the last meet were shattered beyond recognition. Noble ’10 was the star of the evening, making the most individual points, and enabling his class to win the meet.

HERE’S something in Mr. Towne’s manner, There’s something in Mr. Ladd’s smile, There’s something tells the P. G’s., They had better study a while. On Feb. i, the school after considerable debate voted to reorganize the basket ball team. A. M. Beckwith ’09 was elected manager. T-l-r astonished his classmates by itching glass. D—n (a politician)—“ I have been elected. ” Wife (in delight) — “ Honestly !” D—n “ What difference does that make ?” Viets ’09 left for Spokane, Wash. February 19th. We all wish him success. Say is that the w’ind a-blowing or is it D—t’s mouth a-going ? Marsters ’13 has been appointed second alternate to the Naval Academy. M-l-e ’09 tells us that the batteries attached to the peanut machine cause sparks to be omitted. Morgan—Are you a vegetarian ? E—Oh no, I love good beef. M—Ah ! I wish I were a beef. E—Well, I like veal also. George Noble ’10 has been elected captain of this year’s base-ball team. A school play will be staged in April for the benefit of the Athletic Association. The teachers and Athletic Comipirtee decided on “ Union Station ” a comedy which has proven popular in many New England cities. Silently one by one. On the infinite class books of the teachers, Blossom the dear little gems, The forget-me-nots of the seniors. Crowley (at the Armory)—“Yes sir, if this track was only a straight track, you could run around it quicker. ” Borrowed Ulit |NCE a freshman was washed on the African Coast, Where a cannibal monarch held sway, And they served that freshman on slices of toast On the eve of that very day. But vengence of Heaven followed swift on their act, And before tue next morning was seen, By the Cholera Morbus the tribe was attacked, For that Freshman was terribly green. “Dear Father, am on the hog. Please send money to come home on.” Son. “ Dear Son, sell the hog and buy a ticket. ” Father. “ Caesar sic dicit on the cur egesi lictum. ” Freshman, (translating) “ Caesar sicked the cat on the cur ; I guessed he licked him. ’ GREAT SCOTT If Ivanhoed the bonny brae, And Athelstaned his tunic blue, If Friar tucked the food away, Pray what, oh what did Roderick Dhu ? At opposite sides of the sofa They sat with vain regrets, She had been eating onions, He smoking cigarettes. Here’s to the faculty, long may they live, Even as long as the lessons they give. If a body sees a body Thinking on a quiz, If a body helps a body, Is it teacher’s biz ? “ My son, you’ll find it takes tact and ingenuity to get along with the girls. ” “ Yes dad, and lots of money, could you let me have five? ” Indian Father, (after hearing the college yell of his son :) “ Umph ; You learn that at college ?” Son, (proudly) “ Yes ” Father, “ Good ! whiteman got some sense, teach boy war-hoop. ” IO BULKELEY NEWS Rock-a-bye seniors On the tree top, Keep on studying And the cradle will rock. If you get lazy And your marks fall, Down will go seniors, Diplomas and all. “ Your son is college bred, isn’t he ?” “ Yes, and in his case I should define college bred as a four year’s loaf. ” Teacher:— ‘ Is there any connecting link between the vegetable and animal kingdoms ?” Bright pupil:—“ Yes ma’am there’s hash. ” The Geography of a Woman’s Life. Cape of Good Hope—Sweet Sixteen Cape Flattery—Twenty Cape Lookout—Twentyrfive Cape Fear—Thirty Cape Farewell—Forty Waiter—(to gentleman who is looking at napkin full of holes) “ I’ll bring you another one sir. ” Diner—“ Never mind. The holes seem to be clean. ” “ Mother may I learn to swim ?” “Yes, my darling daughter. Learn at a correspondence school, But, don’t go near the water. ’’ Teacher—What figure of speech is, “I love my teacher. ” Pupil—“ Sarcasm. ’’ A minister was horrified one Sunday to see a boy in the gallery pelting the hearers in the pews with horse chestnuts. As the good man looked up, the boy cried out, “ You tend to your preaching mister I’ll keep ’m awake. ’’ THREE GRACES To kiss a lovely junior girl is faith. To kiss a pretty senior girl is hope, But, to kiss one of our dear school ma’ams is Charity. BULK E LEY NEWS 11 He kissed her on the cheek, It seemed a harmless frolic, He’s been laid up a week, They say, with painter’s colic. Jimmie giggled when the teacher read the story of the man who swam across the Tiber three times before breakfast. “ You do not doubt a trained swimmer could do it, do you James? ” “ No sir,” answered James,” but I wonder why hedidn’t make it four and get back to the side his clothes were on.” ‘‘You are the light of my life,” said Fanny, As she softly kissed him goodnight, Then came a voice from the top of the stairs, “ Fanny ! put out the light.” At the University of Wisconsin, a pupil undergoing an examination in English had been instructed to write out examples of indicative, subjunctive, potential and exclamatory moods. His efforts resulted as follow : I am endeavoring to pass an English examination. If I answer twenty question I shall pass ; If I answer twelve questions I may pass; heaven help me ! Prof, (after test)—‘‘Did you get all the questions ?” Pupil—“ Oh yes, it was the answers that bothered me.” ‘Twas in a restaurant first they met, One Romeo and Juliet. ‘Twas there he first fell into debt, For Romeo’d what Juliet. ter, Pa., The Morgan Record, Clinton, Conn., Eastern District Daisy, Brooklyn N.
