BULKELEY NEWS ‘ §qu ala bg tfjp j ?AY FELLOWS — Im going to let you in on a J little secret history concerning the past history of ' these pages. The publication of a page in the lleley News known as Squeals by the Squealer was t result of an idea of a former Bulkeley student, tanas C. Gannon, of the class of 1919. When Mr. Janon was a junior at Bulkeley in the latter part of ‘[117 he sent to the editors of the News the first Veals by the Squealer. He was able to keep his witity unknown until he became editor-in-chief of the t-sws in his Senior year. The writings of the Squealer proved to be very ?ular with the student body and its founder felt sorry pile must part with this child of his mind. However tai the literary efforts of the students began to arrive hands of the editor of the News, Mr. Gannon »overjoyed to find that someone had taken up the i of “ carrying on ” the writings of the Squealer, is “ someone ” later proved to be Merrill M. Bergen, who continued to write the Squealer duting his ■cioryear, 1919. During the School year, 19 19-20, James McCarthy continued the pages of the Squealer. The Squealer is now being written by—well, for [■t— by The Squealer. When is the football manager to be elected ? Why did “ Black Man ” change his seat in Spanis It is quite interesting to note that we have a prosp tive fire chief in our midst. It’s a shame Cassara got a white sweater, he mi rub all the exaggerated tan off the back of his neck. Judging by the empty seats mornings in the Juni section, they lead the school in tardiness as well as, averages. Is it to hide a dirty collar that Smith has his c collar turned up all the time ? There are quite a few fellows who seem to think singing period Friday is a recreation or play peri Some of the fellows ought to take the singing m seriously. The instructor in singing cannot get al very well if some few fellows are continually grabbin chance to whisper or detract the attention of the res the school by some caper. All of you fellows voter,; have singing and to get singing books so let s take singing period more seriously and get all that we from the instructions.
