APRIL 1919 No. 2 SCIRE FACIAS ( tutorials £hir £5ratiuatton Y THEN the Class of 1919 entered Bulkeley School, a discussion of graduation would have been a vision too far into the future to even be considered. But four years have quickly flown and the vision has become a reality and a vastly important one at that. Everyone has different opinions and fancies concerning our graduation. The same is true of the NEWS. Of all the ideas we may consider at least these two we firmly believe in. First that the Class of 1919 should hold their graduation in the Lyceum Theatre. Second that the graduating members should attire in “cap and gown.” In reference to the first idea let us ask a few questions of those whom we believe to be deeply concerned. To the People of New London: Are you uot desirous of a graduation at which you may all be present? Do you not enjoy hearing what the commencement orators have to say to you? Are you not interested to see the boys of your high school, as school boys of 4 bulkeley news today, before they become the men of your city tomorrow? I hen will you help us to have a public graduation? To the Alumni of Bulkeley School: Do you believe that greater New London should be present at an exercise so momentus as that of a Bulkeley School graduation? Are you not willing to see the graduation of 1919 held as it was held for you? If so let it be known. Make your beliefs your convictions. To the Trustees of Bulkeley School: Can a mere saving of dollars and cents blind you to see the beauties of a public graduation? Can it make you claimants of a graduation in the school instead of in the Lyceum Theatre? Will it make you an instrument of hindrance in our effort? Do you believe that graduation should be for a chosen few, and not an invited all ? Trustees, we trust you for the truth. To the Faculty of Bulkeley School: Are you not the corporals in this army with its slogan of Graduation in the Lyceum?” Are you not going to express the opinions of your squads? Are you not going to lead us over the top to victory? If you are, then advance. You will not find us wanting. To the Class of 1919: Classmates, there is no need of us questioning you. • We have too long been side by side not to know our platform in this campaign for a public graduation. But there is an argument which we would like to put berore you and that is to adopt the cap and gown as the dress attire of our graduation. The days when colleges alone were the users of the cap and gown have now passed. Many of the high schools now advocate its adoption, New Haven High School, for instance. If the trustees should want to economize on the graduation let us do the economizing personally by the cap and gown. Nine out of every ten graduates feel they must buy a new suit for the commencement exercises and suits are very expensive just now. V hile for about three dollars each geaduate could rent a cap and gown. Outside of the economic saving it creates a uniformity of appearance and ‘that democratic equality” which should be the atmosphere of every graduetion. Think it over seriously, you graduates, and then fling boquets or vegetable rosettes for the adoption of the cap and gown. ©ur Cartoonist • G ROBERT MORRIS, JR., has again come forward and sent 11s another one of his much appreciated cartoons. Bob has always been a good . sport that way. All we had to do was to tell him that the News could use a BULKELEY NEWS 5 “good” cartoon and in a few days we were in receipt of one. Our cartoonist stayed in Bulkeley at least long enough to instill in himself that “olde time school spirit.” After leaving Bulkeley, Bob settled down in front of a drawing stand and began the uphill climb to renown cartooning. In spite of all obstacles our cartoonist pushed ahead until he began to make contracts with large art syndicates. Then came the clarion call, “to arms—to arms.” Bob Morris answered the call; he enlisted; he went across, and instead of facing a drawing stand he faced blood-hungry Huns for the protection of you and I. Even with all the cries, the tears, the heartaches, Bobby always saw the brighter side of life. During his service abroad members of the News staff received letters from him and every letter had a cartoon in it which showed Bob’s philosophy on the outcome of the war better than a hundred written volumes could have done. If everyone could have seen the glorious future as Morris did, the Germans wouldn’t have clung on as long as they did. When the boys came home Cartooning Bobby was among them with a gold chevron on his arm, but more noticeable, a smile on his face. Many no doubt like to know Robert Morris as a veteran of the World War, but for Bob himself he would rather have you know him in his chosen profession, that of a cartoonist. Cheers, dinners, and welcomings—Bob never had anything against them, but we noticed he soon emerged among the “passing throng” in his civies. Modest Bobby. We could continue writing about Robert Morris as a soldier, but our readers may wish to recognize him as a cartoonist. They have but to turn to page 18 of this magazine—for by his work ye shall know him. We shall enter upon no ecomium for Bob Morris—there he stands; judge for yourself. S?nl| to 5)rlp. TT has often occured during oratorial contests at the Bulkeley graduations that to decide the winner of the medal was a difficult task. Many times it has required a long debate of the judges, and in the end terminating in a partial disappointment of the audience This was never due to an unfair decision of the judges, but to the varied appreciations of talent among the audience. In the majority of cases the decision rests between two speakers, each of whom have about an equal number among the audience and judges who consider him the winner. Of course the laurels can only be placed on one for there has been but one prize. It is a medal donated through the generosity of Mr. Percy C. Eggleston. The staff of the BULKELEY NEWS realizes the perplexity in deciding the winning orator. At the same time we wish to lend a helping hand. Therefore the staff of the NEWS, beginning with the graduation of the Class 6 BULKELEY NEWS of 1919, will give a five dollar gold piece to the orator named by the judges as second best in the delivery of his oration. If the judges decide there is a tie for second place a five dollar gold piece will be given each holder of second honors. The prize is not given in any sense as a material reward, for it is too meager. But it is donated with the purpose of obtaining a more wider and satisfactory recognition of talent. We hope that our intentions will be met with approval by both the judges and the audience at graduation. Who Is He? There’s a dude who fools his way at school, A smile on his face, and a shine on his shoe; A diamond stick pin, and a stride on him too. Believe thouest me, he’s some slick dude. His hair is combed down all ’round his crown, The walls of his temples as thick as a clown; He walks with a spring like a swinging gate, He comes to school tho’ he’s always late. He goes to his classes with one lonely thought, “Though I’m always late, I’ll never get caught, I’ll slip in a seat that’s nearest the door, It won’t be long; I’ll be free once more.” He forgets his books, then thinks he’s swell, He hates his lessons; his teachers—oh well. Yet he expects 100 for being so slow, But when the marks are out he’s 30 or so. —Sisson '21 BULKELEY NEWS 7 The Seven Wonders of Bulkeley School. O DOUBT every pupil who has reached this advanced stage of his educational career has read or heard a little concerning the Seven Wonders of the World. Nevertheless there is a large proportion of us who have never made the acquaintance of the still more famous and interesting Seven Wonders of Bulkeley School. Since this is the case allow me to give you all an informal introduction, and quiz you about them. We will all admit that Old Bulkeley is classed as a marvel because of its out-put (not put-out) of prominent men consisting of lawyers, doctors, congressmen, clergymen, merchants, professors and newsboys. Yet the wonders that assisted in the moulding of their notable characters are not so familiar to us and they will be the subject of my questions. First we have the elevated ladder in the cloak-room. By what athletic promoter or far-sighted janitor was this gymnastic exerciser erected? Was this the sole instrument intended for the preparation of our renouned warriors of the track, diamond, and gridiron? Who can tell the date of its erection or its past history? The next time you go downstairs perform a few tricks on these self-blistering rungs and try to solve its antiquity. We will now turn our attention to the wall clock in Room 1. Its tireless hands never ceased long enough to permit them to write an auto-biography of its turning so I am at sea to relate its origin. Consequently I will restore to questioning. Was it the present of some “timely” graduating class or the remembrance of a prosperous alumnus? Well, what a trifling matter it is anyway so long as it continues to fulfill its chief function, that of telling us when good old 1.30 is at hatid. The third marvel is the marble fireplace directly under the previously foretold wonder. Doesn’t it seem a queer and out of the way place for such a sample of architecture? Was it ever deemed necessary to revert to this primitive method of heating? Did the architect have in mind the sitting-room of a certain stately colonial mansion? Well, it is obvious that it is there although its presence is unaccounted for and if some enterprising senior class would like to hold an old-fashioned pop corn festival they will know where to obtain an important factor of the ceremonies. Of course we are all familiar with Room 7. “The Cafeteria,” or Physical Laboratory. But why those ornamented lunch chairs? This species of furniture is seldom referred to as a part of a class-room. To a stranger these chairs surely present a most fascinating and amusing appearance with their artistically carved initials, trade-marks, slogans, numerals, pic- 8 BULKKLKY NEWS tures, and an undiscovered pre-his-toric code of hierogliphics. But don’t mistake this room for a wayside restaurant and yell out for a ham sandwich or a boiled egg or you will perchance be served an unappetizing goose egg with zero relish. So while in them let this be your motto, “Rest ye in peace, but eat at home.” Marvel number five is a much warmer one, being, in fact, the source of our heat. This source is located in the cellar, not far from the gas light, about which the venerable sages gather and discuss the perplexing topics of the day. How many of us knew that this furnace is a special design and make, being manufactured in this city by the Hopson Chapin Company and was set up in the year of our Lord 1899 A. D. (After Dark?) The Lunch Counter constitutes the sixth wonder. Yet when we want to partake of its products we do not hesitate and think of its origin or social standing. By what thoughtful janitor, teacher, or pupil was this useful commercial medium first established? Who did the erecting and painting? Nevertheless, with so cloudy a past the counter maintains its standing with the “Keep Smiling,” “Child’s” or “Churchill’s.” Every prospective student knows about the counter and we certainly must hand it to Jimmie for the wonderful way in which he keeps stock. Now I reach the climax and will use for the seventh marvel, although last but not least, the much abused and knocked Freshmen. For they as a group surely do confront us with a most complicated and troublesome problem. These men, boys, or children,come from the Lord knows where and their future is still more cloudy. Who is able to tell their reputation or abilities ? Does not the teacher wonder whether or not tl'ey are capable of learning anything ? Do not the Sophomores wonder when they can hold an initiation ? Do not the Juniors and Seniors wonder if any F'reshie will ever develop into a star baseball or football player? And their parents wonder if their dear little ones are able to maintain a satisfactory average. Do not the Freshmen themselves wonder and become amazed at everything from the Sophomores to the janitor? Well, the best and wisest advice to them would be to let them continue to wonder and some good day they will wake up and find themselves Sophomores, wondering how it ever happened. F. Gannon '20. A Perfect Day Two men were seen together One young, the other gray. Said the Old unto the Younger, “Pray tell me what you consider An ideal perfedt day.” At this the Youth responded With gesture of the hand, “You have me now abounded, For the answer’s so unbounded I hope you understand. In days of sunfiy summer I’d leave it all to them In bed I’d have my dinner, With more than plain sweet cider, And rise at 1 p. m. At polo, golf, or tennis An hour or two I’d pass. Then at a tea where life is bliss, I would not be a bit remiss; But still plan the eve with class. A banquet or a dance With ‘wine, women, and song,’ Or a brilliant cabaret perchance With mirth and gayety enhanced, And merriment ’till dawn. In the ‘wee small hours’ then I close this life of joy and play Thus leave the men and women. So this is my conception of An ideal perfedt day.’’ Then when the Youth had finished The old man spake to him, “My boy if you do all you say— Pray God, forgive your sin. You knoweth not a perfedt day.” —A. H. Gipstein ’20. 10 BUIyKELEY NEWS Diary Notes of a W. M. I. Girl. March i. So this starts the new month. Cloudy, as usual—I mean mentally. Well, if we’re not bothered by a bunch of B. B. (Bulklley Bolsheviki) hanging around, it will be some relief. March 2. Oh ! Hyacinth, we have a wonderful new attraction to our school. It is a taxi service which brings our fair (?) damsels to school morningly and takes them home afternnonly, (apologies to Webster’s dictionary). The proprietor of this rushing business is “Brick” Fowler. I know all the girls wish him the highest of success and hope he will continue the good work. March 3. Bill Wadleigh, I notice, is an interesting observer of aeroplanes. He is especially fond of looking Heavenward when walking wTith a lady from W. M. I. by Pete’s, Pat’s, or the Boston Candy. Well,—what of it, we all have our fads. Bill’s just happens to be noticeably “airy”. March 4. For those unable to read figures (in any sense) I will let them know today is March fourth. March 5. I don’t know how it is that Fitch finds Noauk the nearest port from which he can escort charming ladies to the movies. Personally I think Groton is geographically nearer—and besides think of the saving in car fare. Editor’s Note. The diary readings of the next four days were not published. They contained a lot of that---- anyway, you fellows wouldn’t enjoy it. March 10. A number of us were debating this great and weighty question today. How will Bob McBride tie his tie this summer without either a mirror, or one of us to do it for him ? This might appear like a nonsensical question; yet you must remember that Bob’s tie is just as important to him as having his cuffs a few yards below his jacket sleeves. March ii. The fellows ought to have good luck today at the popular game. I believe it’s 11 that wins. March 12. If this were October it would be the 427th anniversary of the discovery of America—but it isn’t so I will “sail on and on” into tomorrow. March 13. Today is unlucky for some and sums. I failed in math., and got some talking to at home. Just the same, summing it all up, I had some time. March 14. The ticker says the price of chewing gum is going up. I’m not fretting about the advance personally as I am for others. Abe Gipstein, Mdunis, and Skip MacDonald are going to be hit hard with the advance in the price of the aforesaid article. It is said it is their only means of keeping time while dancing—poor fellows. March 15. At last I found some one who doesn’t like to collect BULKELEY NEWS 11 money, and that general exception is Jimmie MacMahon. According to Hoyle, Jimmie was asked by his employer to do some financial collecting. The elements must have been against Jimmie for it was raining that day. He said the rain made the figures blurr. I guess they did more than that—they must have made the job blurr; at least, Jimmie isn’t holding it down any more. March 16. Today is Sunday and Sunday is church----for some. But in the afternoon a number of B. B. go up to Norwich to look or overlook the blushing maids of the hilly town. It seems to me that a city as inland as Norwich is certainly fortunate in having so many fish. March 17. Hurrah! St. Patrick’s day and the wearing of the green. We girls decorated ourselves in the memorial color, but none of us had anything on Brick Fowler’s Vanloou collar and green tie. More Irish in the boy than most of us think. March 18. Terrible catastrophe today. I was handed 3 demerits at at once—oh mama. March 19. Great news by B. L. P. (Bulkeley Lesswire Press). Bob McBride and Pendleton have anchored in a new harbour of attraction; it being as I have learned a candy store at the end of Connecticut avenue. I’ll let you guess the end. For Bob’s sake, I hear he finds the company of the new attraction more entertaining than that of W. M. I. sophomores. March 20. We adopted a French orphan at school today. Up till this evening none of the girls have seen the orphan or even heard from his parents. —Killian Lester '21 12 bulkeley news Squeals by the Squealer Again we have received these anonymous letters. We print them by request of the author. — The Editor. Well, fellows, here I am again. This time I intend to make my article very personal. I hope you will forgive me. I take the liberty to welcome Mr. Stevens, instructor in English tfnd Latin, to our Faculty. While I am at it, I may as well thank him for acting upon my suggestion as to the debate. It’s a lucky thing I am unknown or I would be strangled by the Senior Class for starting it. Mr. Sample, greetings. We all like you and appreciate your feelings of good will towards us. I am sure your sentiments are reciprocated by the whole school. While sitting here thinking of what to write, it occurs to me that they ought to start a paper at Sing-Sing called the “White and Black.” Now to get down to matters of great importance. You know, it just occurs to me that Round’s pretty little embroidered collar looked so natural on him that it was hardly noticed,-except by ONE. Once upon a mid-day dreary, as we pondered meek and leery, the head Collaborator came down the aisle and stopped before a desk in which the waste papers of uncounted centuries had accumulated. “Ah!” quoth he, “Evidently Mr. Slutsky sits here.” At this, one of BULKELEY NEWS 13 the students braver than the rest ventured to say, “Yes Sir, evidently. But now he has forsaken old Bulkeley and is teaching the doctrine of Socialism to the ignorant masses with the vain hope that he might in some dark and mysterious way kindle the remaining spark of intelligence in their hearts. When he found it impossible to become Principal of Bulkeley, he decided to become President of the United States on the Bolshivist platform.” “Indeed, well perhaps he had better reform himself first.” Quoth the raven, “Nevermore.” That singing in the morning is a good thing. But how about singing the school songs? I’ll bet half the Freshmen don’t know that we have them. Isn’t it strange how those who had military cards to fill out generally failed to find anyone at home to give the desired information. When will Babbidge finish “shifting” ashes and start to shift for himself ? What is the underlying cause for buying Bulkeley pennants at Wool-worth’s at ten cents apiece and trying to sell them to the Seniors at a quarter? It would be bad enough if they tried to skin the Freshmen. How do they expect to extract a quarter for a worthless thing like those pennants when some fellows go so far as dropping buttons in the collections that go for a good cause ? Ask McConnell, he knows. I hate to be critical (?) but it seems to me that from Norberta to Lillian is an awful jump,—even for Greenes. LOST AND FOUND. The following letter was picked up under Mr. Gipstein’s desk. Dear Abraham: As I have nothing to do and wish to do it I thought I would take my pen and bottle of ink in my hand and typewrite you a few letters. Please excuse this lead pencil. We are all well at present except my sister she was kicked by a mule in 14 BULKELEY NEWS the suburbans. The mule is not expected to live. Your rich aunt who died when you was here is still dead and doing nicely. Hope this letter finds you the same. After she died they found fifteen thousand dollars in an old bussel which she left behind, so you are no longer a poor man. You will be able to afford a bag of salty peanuts in nigger heaven for Tessy now. Your cousin, Maurice Stanley Gipstein, will go to work this morning; the job will last about six months, but the judge said he might get out sooner on good behavior. Business has been dull since you left, especially the saloon business. It s a good thing we have to close next July as we would close anyway, since Babbidge, Beran, and Woodworth have acquired the Bevo habit. I will close now, with regards. I do not feel well, I have been playing the vi-all-in. Yours respectable, C. Kuester. The owner may have the above letter on personal application to the Squealer. I am glad to see that Horace McConnell has fixed his desk. 1 he board of trustees ought to vote him a scholarship in recognition of his services, or else give him a life membership in the Carpenters’ Union. It was writh great pleasure that I read Phil’s article in the News”. It was some article, you have to hand it to him. He is There. That’s what I call wit. Let’s hope that we continue to see his valuable contributions. Have you heard our new Freshman Orchestra ? It’s a PIPPIN—Whew! Haven’t we a lovely piano here in school ? Wouldn’t it be a good idea to take up another collection and have it tuned ? You know it’s very easy to write knocks but it’s a good deal harder to be the object of them. However, I do it with the intention of helpfulness and not meanness. Think it over-----------No, Mr. Phillips isn’t the Squealer. BULKELEY NEWS 15 The more I see W. M. I. girls inveigling our pure and simple minded Seniors into buying them sodas, the more I appreciate the fact that Eve was crazy for an apple herself. The list of averages that came out last month looked like a record of the temperature, at the North Pole. And that Dramatic Club----Et tu Juniors. It certainly would be a shame if I were to leave this article without a few good words for Jimmy. He certainly tries hard to please the boys. He is one good fellow. Let us hope that he will continue to be one of the honored institutions of old Bulkeley. Well, as our friend Carl Kuester would remark,-As I have nothing to say, and wishing to say it, I will close with one last question,-Who is The Squealer ? 4 16 BULKELEY NEWS A Ghost Story. you fellows make me tired” said Dickson, “I don’t believe in ghosts anyway.” “You can talk that way all you want to,” retorted Brown, “but I bet you would be as scared as I was, if you had been in my position coming up the road past the old shack in that lane leading off the main road near the mill late at night with no moon shining.” (He winked at his companions). The men had been talking about ghosts, and Dickson had shown his contempt for anyone who believed in such things. Brown had made up the story which he told them in order to try Dickson’s so-called invincible courage. “When was this?” asked Dickson. “Night before last,” answered Brown, “I heard chains clanking.” “Huh, only your imagination,” said Dickson. “Well, I bet you ten dollars that you don’t dare sleep there to-morrow night.” “All right,” said Dickson, “I will go out there at seven o’clock and have the laugh on you in the morning.” “Don’t be too sure,” answered Brown. The following evening, Brown dropped in on Dickson just before seven o’clock to escort the bravo to the phantom shed. “What will we do if a ghost does show up?” he asked. “Use this,” said Dickson, producing a gun. He laid it down while he got together a few bedclothes. Brown seized the opportunity to empty the gun of cartridges and fill-the chambers with blanks. By this time, Dickson had got together the few articles that he needed and picked up the gun. Brown accompanied him to the supposedly haunted house and then returned home chuckling to himself. Brown waited until nearly twelve o’clock, and then, taking a sheet with him, he made his way to the haunted house. He entered secretly, and went up the hall to the door of the room in which his friend was sleeping. He then donned the sheet and, taking a short chain with which he had provided himself, he opened the bedroom door. His friend was asleep. He clanked the chain and groaned until the sleeping man awoke and demanded who was there. Dickson receiving no answer pointed the gun at the white figure and fired. Brown took a slug from his pocket and tossed it at Dickson. The Invincible Courage” fired again with the same result. Again he fired and again a slug hit him. He began to sweat with fear. “What was this object that was able to deflect bullets from its body so that they returned and hit the person firing them ?” Aiming the pistol trembling once more, Dickson fired at the mysterious form. Again the bullet was returned BUEKELEY NEWS 17 to the firer. This was too much for Dickson. He dropped the unfaithful firearm—scrambled down the back stairs, and ran out of the house. Brown watched, much to his delight, the fleeing form of the “Invincible Courage’ ’ disappear below the summit of the hill. —Charles D. Wolverton '20, It’s Pathetic ( That's where the humor comes in.) To end my worldly miseries, Did I think to do one day; I bought a rope and pistol, Which should have been O. K. I got the rope all ready, Stood on a chair up high. Clutched the pistol in my hand, And then I tried to die. I stood there for a moment, And thought an awful lot; I thought of down below me, And I thought ’twould be too hot. I therefore dropped the pistol, And the rope I loosed with haste; Just think my patient readers, All this had gone to waste. But if my next report card, Is still red, white and blue; My first attempt at suicide, I will again renew. J.

You will find there are simple things that tend to success. The first is good health. It is impossible for a boy or man to work against that handicap.

We wish to introduce Mr. James Russell Lowell, a cultivated gentleman, an American, a writer of charm, a man of books, one who browsed around in a library of four thousand volumes, for whom it was easy to say things in the form of a quotation, a good critic and interpreter with ideas of his own. He was a democrat—in fundamental ways one of the deepest we have ever had. To him democracy was more than a scheme of government—it was a spirit of life whose mission would not be fulfilled until every man strong in his personal independence was linked to his fellow man through a free and joyous co-operation based on intelligence. “Boy, page Mr. Le Paige, he has been sticking the hotel.” —Phil.

This meet as usual will be held in the State Armory, Friday even-Track ing, April nth. You all know that this display of local athletics could not be run last year owing to the fact that the government was using the armory for official business. But that disappointment should not in the least dampen this meet but should create more enthusiasm to prove that Bulkeley has not lost the “pep” that made her famous. Manager Thurston Pendleton and his assistant Ferguson have worked hard and earnestly in preparing for a banner meet. Great interest is being shown by the local Grammar schools, and the Naval and Military Academies, so we of Bulkeley School, who are running the meet, must be represented, and represent- ed emphatically. Our rival high school, Vocational, has announced her intention of contesting, and surely we must be prepared to uphold (and win) our conflicts with the local contester. The Bulkeley-Vocational Relay is the crowning feature, and possibly Norwich and Stonington will enter into the High School Relay. The Grammar School Relay also attracts considerable attention as does each individual contest. Professor Wynne Stevens has generously given his aid in coaching and training the Bulkeley men and intends to present a winning team. Physical Director Young of the local Y. M. C. A has been chosen to fulfill the position as referee. Surely he is known and liked by all and will no doubt officiate in a most satisfactory manner. To the winner in each event a handsome bronze medal will be a-warded. Second and third prizes BULKELEY NEWS 25 will be ribbon badges. Another chance for team work is given in the race between the classes. To the class scoring the most points the honor and distinction of having their numerals engraved upon the cup in the assembly room will be given. The chance of wearing those coveted numerals is also furnished and this should be enough to excite interest regardless of school spirit. The schedule is as follows: 35 Yard Dash...........Bulkeley “ “ “ ..............Open Running high jump......Bulkeley “ “ “ Open Running broad “ Bulkeley “ “ “ Open Relay..................Bulkeley “ Open Shot put (12 lbs)......Bulkeley “ “ “ “ Open Quarter mile run.......Bulkeley “ “ “ .............Open Relay...................Grammar Schools “ ........................High Schools Well, here’s luck to the meet and let every Bulkeley supporter prove his mettle. □ 0 H ! Spring is here and with it returns the awakening of all life. And since there is in Bulkeley School a certain amount of life that also has awakened and is beginning to take a vis-Base Ball ible and active form. Baseball is always associated with spring; consequently the national game is beginning to gain a foothold in our daily schedule and activities. Now we must have a baseball team, a good school team, and a victorious team. But in order to make any kind of a showing on the diamond, we require team work and assistance. This team work and assistance was never lacking in the last few years and in fact were the outstanding features of many Bulkeley champion teams. This spirit of good fellowship and sportsman-like habits has shown itself in the present Bulkeley fellows on previous occasions too numerous to mention. Now that spirit must back the attempt to form a school team. The effort to have Bulkeley represented on the diamond this year has been started and is well under way. Practice has been held several times at the Bartlett School grounds under the skillful directions of Professors Phillips and Sample. Several games with neighboring schools can easily be obtained; in fact, several schools have sent challenges. Since this is the case, get together and work for a fixed point; that of a well organized school team. There is plenty of good material and all it needs is a chance to show itself. This opportunity is now opened to you. Come out and at least make a try for the team. You can’t all pitch, catch, or play short, but you all can help by earnest practice and work to form a “Nine” that will be an honor to yourself, school, and city. □ 0 26 BULKELEY NEWS Courtesy The Day THEODORE BRITTON Football Mttr- 1919 HERE is our newly elected football manager for 1919. You all know him, or at least you should for he has held a conspicuous place in all of Bulkeley’s affairs for the last few years. He is a Foot Ball manager that should be one, as a reward for his excellent school spirit, if nothing else. In his very first year at Bul-keley he tried out for the team, and by hard and faithful work was made regular guard under Capt. “Toby” May. While in one of these games he received a severe injury to his ear which prevented him from playing the remainder of that season. Nevertheless at the very first call for volunteers for the 1917 squad, Britton was there despite his injury and condition from recent illness. Again while in a very close “battle” he suffered serious injuries to his back, which, upon the physician’s advice caused him to abandon football for that season, although very reluctantly. And during last year’s practice and games “Ted” was generally present to give his valuable and willing advice in tackling, falling, passing, or any part of the game. Britton’s activities did not embrace athletics alone. No, he was President of his Sophomore class and is now President of the present Junior class. He is a member of the Phi Alpha Mu Sigma fraternity and was sent to represent the school at the Older Boys’ Conference last February. When Bulkeley had military training, “Ted” was first lieutenant of Company A. His past record goes to show that he is a worker and his deeds as a football player will be, no doubt, on the level with his accomplishments as football manager. He has arranged several out-of-town games, and when his schedule is complete, it will evidently be as attractive as any of late years. Let’s hope that Manager Britton and Captain Babbidge with the support of the school will compose an A 1 eleven. These are the men who by their faithful services on the gridiron are to be remembered by sweaters and B’s: McBride, manager, Sullivan, capt., Beran, Babbidge, MacDonald Mansfield, Stewart, Barber, Bra-gaw, Howard, Noyer, Fitch, Joseph Mclnnis, John Mclunis, aud last but not least, Coach Phillips.

Note: Selected from a number of Junior history papers as the best essay—for many reasons. A T a very early stage, England was named by the Angels. In 400 years D. A. Julius Seizer invaded into England and drove the Kelts from England into Whales. The Brittons were the Saxons who entered into England in 1492 under Canut. They came from Brittany. They were brave and warlike people who engaged in cock fighting and also lived by fishing and manufacturing. After a long seige on Julius Seizer they beat him and ignominiously drove him off the country. England was then left in a rude state by the Druids who held religious services out of doors. The Druids were like the I. W. W., except they had no unions. At this time Alfred the Large rained in 272 years. He became famous by letting some pancakes burn on a Dane. Because of this deed he was made a king. The throne was later succeeded by William the Consumptive who was the first of the Mormons. Later England was rained by Rufus, who was named William because his hair was read. Edward the Black Prince founded shivalry which is a fight on horseback between to horsemen. These were sometimes called krusades because they fort in tornados. A nite errand is a man similar to a telegraph boy only he goes out in the nite to search adventures. Another famous king was Henry eight. He was a great widow having lost several wives. Lady Jane Grey studied Greek, Latin and German and after a few days was beheaded. Queen Mary also died. Elizabeth was called the Virgin Queen because of Virginia. She was pretty. Near a vampire but didn’t marry. She also wore a lot of clothes and had a lot.

Gannon 32 BULKELKY NEWS A money-counting expert in the United States Treasury Department recently made the record for counting 4,000 silver dollars in an hour, or 32,000 in a day. To show how vast a sum is a billion dollars, about which we are talking so easily nowadays, it would take this expert 100 years to count that sum in silver dollars, provided he counted 32,000 a day, day after day, without a single day’s vacation. ¥ When the American Eagle was first suggested as an American emblem, Benjamin Franklin bitterly opposed it on the ground that it savored too much of Julius Caesar, who used it as an emblem, and was too closely associated with royalty. Franklin wanted the American turkey as a national emblem, because he is a true native of America, whereas the eagle is not. ¥ In the present war, in thirty months the English Quakers have already helped to reconstruct more than 300 French villages, helped over 11,000 families and more than 36,000 individuals; built nearly 500 houses; donated some 34,000 packels of clothes and household articles; and distributed some $25,000 worth of farm machines, tools and seeds. ¥ The longest canal is not in America, but in China. It is the Grand or Imperial Canal and is 700 miles long. In America the longest canal is the Erie and is 363 miles long. Two of the shortest canals are among the most important: the Panama Canal, which is 54 miles long, and the Suez Canal, which is 100 miles long. Four million postal cards are printed every working day at the Government Printing Office in Washington. It is the largest printing office in the world, has a pay roll of 5 million dollars a year, and yet the executive head of this mammoth plant receives a salary of only $5500 a year. ¥ If the airplane that went from New York City to Dayton, Ohio, in 4 hours and 10 minutes, without a stop, averaging 132 miles an hour, kept this up for one day, it could easily go across the Atlantic Ocean from New York to Diver pool. ¥ 6,000 more boy babies than girl babies have been born in Texas since the entrance of the United States into the war. There has also been an increase in the number of plural births, there being 602 sets of twins and 12 sets of triplets. ¥ Taking a census is not so modern as we think. Moses took a census of the Israelites in 1490 B. C., and in 560 B. C. it was the law that every Roman should file an estimate of his estate and personal effe 5ls, under oath, every five years. ¥ Curious, isn’t it, that the first modern breech-loading cannon was invented by a lawyer; the Brennan torpedo was the invention of a clergyman; and gunpowder was the idea of a monk ! ¥ The 40 days of Lent recalls the very curious part that 40 has played in the world’s traditions and customs. The Deluge in the Bible lasted 40 days and 40 nights; the Israelites wandered 40 years in the desert. ¥ Lord Byron wrote a poem once, which consisted of 400 lines in the original manuscript. Before he was done with it, he had eight sets of proofs submitted to him, and had added 900 lines. BULKELLY NEWS 33 A Sophomore Musical? T ID you ever attend a Sophomore musical? The illustrious Carusos, Melbas, McCormacks, and Lau-ders of the class of 1921 once displayed their talents before a tenderhearted and most patient audience in what they had the nerve to call a musical. But in the ages to come it will be thumbs down for sophomore musicals as far as that audience is concerned. When I arrived at the House of the G Cleff, where the concert was to be held (they called it “held” but personally I much prefer to call it “h-11”) the Half Note twins were strangling the necks of their guitars in an effort to render a Spanish serenade. After a mad revel of ten minutes the twins expired (I mean off the stage.) Then came Augustus Tin-ore who attempted to go down a “Long, Long, Trail’’ through center. His ambitions were notably checked by what my senior friend pronounced as the hook. To relieve the monotony or monopoly the musical director, Mr. Wise Fool, a most kind sophomore, decided to replace the musical agonies by having recitations. Willie Neinhart was the first to dare the oral suicide. When Willie began “Sheridan’s Ride” I wanted to leave, but my companion said he felt bad and desired to feel worse, thus we stayed. So naturally did Willie recite that you could hear the galloping of the horses. (Later I learned it to have been the audience seeking safety). Lo. Vallet was the next to recite. He was a most considerate chap, for he did not sing “Ben Bolt,” but recited it. It was certainly pathetic, so much so in fact, that “The Wreck of the Hesperus” would have been a comic alongside of it. Then N. O. Brains jumped into the ring (I use “ring,” because we all began to see circles) and offered to meet all comers. He grappled “Hamlet’s Soliloquy” in his teeth and shook it to death. Next he scuddled the “Ships of State” with a right hander amidships. A half-nelson and a toe-hold disposed of the“Village Blacksmith.” The final recitation was given by Flamingo Crabbe. He squeezed the life out of “The Blue and the Gray.” Yet it was a very picturesque selection to the audience for at this time all of us were either blue or gray. Thus came to an end “the grand and glorious feeling” of hearing a Sophomore musical. But, dear folks, let us not be too harsh, for there’ll come a time—and don’t forget it—“when you may have a chance to attend such an entertainment.” On the other hand there may come a time “when you’ll regret it” that you ever spent a quarter to hear such agony. Nevertheless, sophomore musicals are GOOD THINGS----------to avoid. —P. Ho7t ard '20. 34 BULKELEY NEWS T)ROF.

He considered the League of Nations as the most important question. 0 0 'HpHE Senior-Junior debate was held at Bulkeley School Friday, March 1st. The Junior team were the victors of the contest. It was one of the most interesting debates ever held at the school. The success is largely due to the efforts of Wynne Stevens, who coached the team. “That Alcoholic Beverages be Prohibited in the State of Connecticut,” was the resolution. Negative arguments were made by the Senior team, the Junior arguing in the affirmative. Foollowing were the teams Affirmative—Gipstein, Captain, Howard, McConnell, Round. Negative—Pendleton, Captain, McBride, Gannon, Wadleigh. The judges were Miss Myra Cross Nathan Belcher and J. H.

He spoke of Mr. Kelly during his Bulkeley days, and how easy it was to prophesy the future of such a student. Professor Towne said Mr. Kelly was 36 BULKELEY NEWS a ‘ perfect gentleman.” The school flag was down at half mast in his memory. □ 0 THE students of Bulkeley School were honored on March 24th by the visit of two Yale students, William Corcoran and Kenneth Greene. The former, a graduate of Bulkeley in the class of 1914, the latter in the class of 1917. Both the graduates gave interesting talks on Going to College. Corcoran desired the students to know that going to college is not as hard as pupils of secondary schools imagine. Greene told of some of his experiences at Yale and of the self help bureau of that institution. Each of the speakers offered their services in any way to those who have any intention of going to college. Both Corcoran and Greene have been winners of scholarships at Yale. 0 0 THE Junior English class held its oral composition exercises on March 25th at the first period. The speakers and their subjects were: Frank Gannon, Ths Ace of Aces; Abraham Gipstein, From Skin to Foot; Jesse Greenes, A Dramatic Club; James Hinchey, The Evolution of the Locomotive. Prof. Wynne Stevens acted as chairman. The class members criticised the talks. 0 0 THE Senior class held a class meeting in room 8 at the third period on March 26th. Class President Thurston Pendleton suggested the holding of a senior dance. The suggestion was adopted. The dance will probably be held about the middle of May.

The NEWS profits by the comments of its exchanges. Thus we hope our endeavors will be profited by .others. QTtjru � 0ur “THE ACROPOLIS” We will have to give you the place of honor on our exchange list this time. This is not for alphabetical reasons, but because you merit it. You have fine editorials, fitting cuts, good composition and all the other requirements that establish a magazine as a champion of better journalism. “cabbage-head”. We can’t see why you head your jokes “School Notes” and your school notes “Doings” This arrangement we believe would be better if it were just visa versa. Judging from the JOURNAL it looks as though student poets are rare at N. F. A. Maybe they’re too modest to have their productions appear in print— eh editors? “THE QUARTERLY” We congratulate you on your worthy mid-year Graduation Issue. Your class roll is the gratifying result of an earnest effort, but you have produced something worth while. We will be pleased to have you call on us again. “THE GLEANER” You are always a welcome exchange. We were pleased to notice that you consider editorials and exchanges important functions of your magazine, at least in the January number. Why don’t you publish longer stories or articles ? We noticeably missed the 1 attler in the last issue. THE ACADEMY JOURNAL” Well, if you don’t feel in the mood to criticize us that is not the way we recognize you. We wish to compliment you on your printed respects to those who have joined the eternal alumni. Also we are glad to note that you make your exchange pages something more than a listing table. But now for a “THE CRITERION” A newsy sheet. We consider it the equal of any college paper. Your poem “American Motherhood” places the author in first place among our exchange poets. “THE SUBMARINE BASE JOURNAL” Glad to see you, local exchange. We compliment you on your large collection of advertisements. But why do you mix them with the reading matter? CONNECTICUT COLLEGE NEWS” Our sisters on the “hill” are publishing a paper worthy of attraction. We are pleased to state that poetry of quality is a frequent achievement of the “NEWS”. 9Sulfeelej SHOCK V Bulhdep String THE STUFF No-it-all...... Editor-in-chief Dewey Eat .........Ass’t.

The bicycle really gives more real good to the man or woman, boy or girl than any other vehicle—whether for business or pleasure. This is a strong statement to make, but listen : It is the safest vehicle you can ride. There are over three million bicycles in this country—seven bicycles to one automobile, and yet how often do you hear of a bicycle accident ? The improved coaster brakes make a bicycle instantly responsive to the will of the rider. You ride all day and only pedal one half of the time. The spoit is exhilarating, speeding along with every fibre of your body aglow with the in vigorating exercise. No wonder physicians recommend bicycle riding for oung and old for building up health and strength. The bicycle is a money saver when used by the merchant for delivery service, by the working man instead of uncertain and over-crowded trolleys, or f r any other purpose. I have a fine line of the best makes just in all equipped with coasters and all other up-to-date improvements. Come in and see how’ fine a bicycle you may buy at a small price.
