The Board has attempted to portray student life in the classroom and on the athletic field, believing these two elements to be counterparts in the development of the boy at Bulkeley. The Editors have striven to produce this volume, not as an annal of general school life, but rather as a souvenir of Bulkeley—that the classes which follow may better appreciate their opportunities.

Wilson (16) Cl)t ulfeelep Hnnual 1923 Class History S we look back over our four years at Bu Ike ley, some things stand out more distinctly than others, which is natural enough. We have always had men on the ’varsity teams. Even when we were freshmen we made a splendid show in athletics and especially when it came to resisting the force of the sophomores when they attempted to give us the customary hazing. During our sophomore year we followed tradition in as much as we thought we knew it all. How we did try to impress upon the minds of Miss Cross, Miss Zahn and Miss Jordan our knowledge of ail subjects from Botany to Aviation, except the minor studies of English. History, Language and Math. It was during our Sophomore year that we remember the pleasant assemblies in room 1, which is now 1. 2 and 3. Mr. Towne used to lead us, by means of a ruler, through such songs as “Margie and hispering. After our rallies we used to march to classes singing “Cheer for Old Bulkeley. This was the year that Miss Jordan directed the orchestra which played such songs as “Chilli Bean.” It might well he remembered that we had two recesses and got out of school at 1.30 p. m. “Oh Boy! them was the happ) days.” We came under the jurisdiction of Headmaster Underwood when we became upper-classmen, and the very first day we lost most of our swelled headedness. We will admit that it was all for the best, but it was hard on us at first. Our Junior year was the most eventful of all. We had our daily crap games and bowling matches. For those who did not attend one of these affairs we might add that our equipment consisted of an iron ball smuggled in from the Physics Lab. and a few erasers. This might sound crude, but ask any fellow whether he enjoyed it or not. As for those who enjoyed the crap game there is a divided opinion. Some of us did not go into hysterics over the event, for we lost. The Junior Prom was the event of our school life. It was held at Danceland. May 26. 1922. Too much credit cannot be given to the committee in charge, for they had their trouble in making arrangements. First it was decided to hold the dance at the Crocker House. W e were then invited to hold it in the newr auditorium. At the last moment we were informed that the hall was to be formallv opened on that night and that the dance would have to be postponed. This did not trouble the committee in the least, for they hired “Danceland” for that same evening. W ords cannot adequately describe that Prom, but we will always remember the twentv-sixth day of May, 1922. We are glad to have been in Hulkelev in these years in which fate has destined us to be there. We have seen the school change radically, and yet remarkably, in its own material size and number of pupils. rhe class of 1923 entered with an enrollment just under the one hundred mark and today stands at the door ready to leave with less than half that number. To cherish the memories of both fellow classmen and masters, a fitting close for this history and also a brief summary might be: Our Freshman year, we endured it: Our Sophomore year, we enjoved it: Our Junior year, we did our d-----est; Our Senior year, we did it! 07) t )t 2NlUelep annual WILLIAM RUDDY—“Bill” Class President (3) (4); Prom. Committee (3) (4); Debating Squad (3); Football (4); Class Baseball (1) (3); Pot-Pourri; Student Council (3). Bill has been class president for the last two years and that speaks for him loudly enough to drown out anything we might say. However, we might join in and shout for him, but we hardly think he needs our aid, for he is capable of doing all the shouting necessary. (18) Cln ulkelep Annual RONALD P. ABERNETHY—“Ab”—“Abbie” “Red Mill” (3); Debating Squad (3); Classical Course. “Abbie” makes the least noise of any in the class. He is quiet of voice, but let us stop there. He takes part in all activities when they have nothing to do with debating, art, or athletics. However, his light did shine brightly one night, for he was starred in the “Red Mill” as an English T. B. M., and took the part to perfection. HOWARD T. BEEBE—“Speed”—“Beeh Class Baseball (1); Class Basketball (4); Track (1); Senior Commercial Club. “Speed” is the boy who invented the method of getting blood from a turnip. He can teH exactly how many gallons of H-0 a week the Thames empties into the harbor, because Vera lives in Groton, but then everybody knows that there are two pints to the gallon. HAROLD M. BEACH Debating Team (3) (4); Debating Council (3) (4). They say that still water runs deep; it sure does in this case. He is the man who precedes the morning sun, basing his arguments on two axioms, first, ’tis the early bird that catches the worm; and second, any poor fool can go to bed, but it takes a man to get up. GEORGE J. BORAS “Bulkeley Siren” (2); “Annual” (3) (4); Class Treasurer (1). George made a good record in his studies during the first two years. He showed exceptionally good talent in connection with the publication of the “Bulkeley Siren.” George is a quiet lad—but we have our doubts about the quiet ones. (19) Cfje 2?ulkelej Annual ROBERT I.. BRENNAN—‘-Bob” Football (4); “Red Mill”; Classical Course. “Bob” is just the kind of a fellow we can’t help but like. He has a goodly amount of Irish humor and his freckled face is always adorned with a smile. We should razz him in one way or another, but he is such a reg’lar fellow we haven’t the heart. THEODORE L. DANFORTH— “Ted”—“Dub”—“Pickle” Classical Course; Vice-President (3). “Ted” is our idea of a quiet, unassuming fellow. He is chuck full of a subtle humor all his own. When it comes to stepping out Ted is right there. He holds the undisputed title of class lady-killer. Well, Teddy, when you stand behing the pulpit don’t deliver your sermon on the evils of women. HUBERT A. DOWNING—“Hub”—“Hubbie” “Annual” (3) (4); Class Baseball (2) (3); Pot-Pourri; Baseball (4); Prom Committee (4). “Hubbie” is a cue artist. He is seriously considering writing a text book on “Shooting Pool Scientifically.” He finds that the average poolplayer does not talk to the ivory balls enough. (We all know what a little talk to other ivories will do.) AARON ELFENBEIN—“Bones” Pot-Pourri; Orchestra (1) (3) (4); “Bulkeley Siren” (2); “Princess Pat” (4); Double Quartette. Cast your glance upon the face of our clever ballet dancer. Many have seen Bones perform: in fact, he is so clever that even the Egyptian dancers try to imitate his syncopated movements. Bones is the envy of all the rest of us because the ladies “just love his dancing.” (20) Ije ulkelep Hnnual AVERY W. FITCH—“Doc” “Red Mill”; Entre Nous; Scientific Course. Doc is small, but there is a proverb that runs something to the effect that good things come in small packages; perhaps you know all about it—at least, you should know “Doc”, for he is one you can always place the utmost confidence in. EDWARD FOWLER—“Captain Eddie—“Ed “Red Mill”; Football (3); Captain (4); Track (3) (4); “Princess Pat”; Prom. Committee (4); Pot-Pourri; Double Quartette; “Annual” (3) (4); Radio Club; Entre Nous. Here we have a man of ability—an athlete, artist and ardent admirer of the fair sex. As an athlete he captained the football team. When it comes to drawing, he’s there—posters are his specialty. As an admirer of the—Well, anyway, Eddie sure can dance. EMIL J. GAGNON—“Red” French Prize; Assistant Football Manager (4); Assistant Baseball Manager (4). “Red” is one of that likable sort of fellows and is always ready to lend a hand. We hardly knew that he belonged to our class until he budded out as Assistant Manager of Football. “Red” isn’t a grind, but prizes don’t come naturally, do they? EDWARD CIPSTEIN—“Gip”—“Cippie” School Leader Medal 1920; English Prize 1920; Mathematics Prize 1920; Editor “Bulkeley Siren” (2); “Annual” (3) (4), Chairman (4); School Leader Medal 1922; Mathematics Prize 1922; Classical Course. “Gippie” is our pride and envy. He is our model so far as brair.-work is concerned. If any one comes around with a Math, example and says, “Gip did it”, we are absolutely sure that it is right. It never pays to argue with him, for he always knows what he is talking about, and, more than that, he is always right. (21) C|)e 2frulfeelej Annual JOHN S. GRAY—“Johnnie” Classical Course. Johnnie’s a quiet chap with a well-developed sense of humor. He was barn with a pack of cards in one hand and a book of riddles in the other. He’s full of funny stories which he is always letting loose, but the one he likes to tell best is the one about his initiation into the T. S. CLARENCE F. HALL—'“Euclid” Athletic Council (4); Radio Club; “Annual” Board (3); Junior Science Prize; Sophomore Spanish Prize. Hall, better known as “Euclid”, broke into Bulkeley’s “Hall of Fame” by his remarkable scholarship. He is another of the sedate, learned group of our class. There seems to be nothing in Chemistry that Hally has overlooked. He intends to study engineering; in our estimation he is sure to make a success in that field. MICHAEL J. HALL I SKY—“Mike” Orchestra (4); Class Baseball (2) (3); Pot-Pourri (4); Prom. Committee (4). Work seems to be Mike’s middle name. He is one of the hardest pluggers in the class. Whatever he attains comes only after a good deal of labor. Unluckily Mike’s ambitions for the football squad were cut short when he was injured in early practice. Well, Mike, we wish you the best of luck in life. ROBERT T. HENKLE—“Bob” Football Manager (4), Assistant Manager (3); “Red Mill; “Princess Pat”; Pot-Pourri; Xmas Chimes; “Bulkeley Siren” (2); Secretary and Treasurer (4); Class Basketball (4); Orchestra (1) (3) (4); “Annual” (3) (4). Bob’s a born comedian, gifted with a wit that borders on genius, which makes him feel perfectly at home on the stage. He showed great capability in his football managership. Everybody will agree that Bob’s a bright spot on the horizon of acquaintances. (22) fje 2Dulfeelep Annual EDWARD L. JENSSEN Bookkeeping Prize 1922; Senior Commercial Club; Junior History Prize; Commercial Course. Jenssen is another of our “out-of-town” boys. He is a prize commercial scholar, but as for Spanish, it’s his Jonah—he never could get it. Neither could we, so here at least is a man who is understood. His arrogant style, winning ways and perfect decorum have found him many a cheerful female companion to sit with him in the trolley. CHARLES J. KERRIDGE—“Chawrly” Prom. Committee (3); “Red Mill”; Entre Nous; Track (3) (4). Take one lingering and heart-rending look, ladies, at the Apollo Belvedere pictured here. He came, he saw and well those C. C. girls can’t resist his wiles. But do you blame them, since Charlie’s so collegiate and shakes such a mean foot when it comes to terpsichore? STUART KNOX—“Zup” Classical Course; Orchestra (4); Entre Nous; Track (4). “Zup” came to us soon after Christmas in our senior year and sure has been an asset to the class. He has a snappy appearance which never fails to attract the women. In spite of this affliction, “Zup” is a hard worker. Among his other abilities he is a musician of great note (mostly C sharp). RUSSELL M. LAY—“Sec” Senior Commercial Club; Commercial Course. Lay during his senior year spent most of his time in the office making out report cards and recording demerits, which probably accounts for his high grades and lack of demerits. Lay grew up quite suddenly in that he parted his hair in the middle, pulled his trousers down and started to wear glasses and a necktie. We hear he spends most of his time in Niantic. (23) fje ulkelep Annual LOUIS LEVINE—“Louey” Senior Commercial Club; Class Baseball (1) (2) (3) (4); Track (1); Football Squad (2); Assistant Manager Basketball (3); Captain Class Baseball (1). “Louey” is another one of the quiet element of our class, but don’t think that he has always been that way. In his freshman year he was one of our livest wires. There wasn’t anything he wouldn’t try. But, 1 suppose, he realized the benefits that might be derived from hard work and accordingly settled down to attain them. ALBERT LUBCHANSKY—“Lub”—“Legs” Basketball (4), Manager (4); Track (2) (3) (4); Double Quartette (4); Assistant Manager Basketball (3); Pot-Pourri. This gent’s future is hard to predict. He carries most of the running records around in his pocket, so he might make a good messenger boy but for the reason that he never shoots crap or reads dime novels. The only thing we have against “Legs” is that he won’t let us borrow his electric curling iron. WALLACE MAC DONALD—'“Gus” Football (4); Baseball (3) (4); Vice-President (4); Class Baseball (1) (2). Gus is certainly versatile when it comes to athletics. He plays football and baseball equally well, and everybody knows how well that is. “Gus”, we would like to know if you use the same caveman stuff on the girls as you do on several members of our class. JOHN W. MAC MAHON—“Mac” Football (4); Football Squad (2); Basketball (1) (2) (3) (4), Manager (3), Captain (4); Track (1) (2); Class Basketball (4); Underwood Typewriting Medal (3); Senior Commercial Club. Huge, husky and strong, that’s Mack. An athlete of no mean ability, he distinguished himself by being identified as captain of the basketball team and as a guard on the football squad. In spite of the fact that he has a dignified attitude and severe mien, he is always ready to have his fun and most of ours with the rest of us. (-’4) Cfte ulkelep Annual JOSEPH MUSCARELLA—“Mush” Senior Commercial Club; Football (4); Basketball (4); Class Basketball (4). “Mush” is a son of a son of sunny Italy. He has blossomed out during the year, playing on the football and basketball teams. On the trip to Leominster, it is said that he broke the heart of more than one girl of that city (ask Barry). BERNARD C. PECK—“Bernie”—“Bushnell” Football (3) (4) (2); Baseball (2) (1) (4); Prom. Committee (3). “Bernie” came to Bulkeley with the makings of a perfect athlete. He showed remarkable skill on the gridiron, being considered the best end in the state. His athletic career wound up on the diamond after being elected captain. He made a large number of friends at Bulkeley. DONALD G. PRINCE—“Dimp” Class Basketball (4); Commercial Course; Senior Commercial Club; “Orange and Black (2); Treasurer (3). “Dimp” is properly named, for he has two of the cutest dimples that were ever seen. These, with the aid of his patent-leather hair, captivate all of the young ladies of our sister school. “Dimp” will find it hard to get a job in an office where there are any of the opposite sex, for no employer likes to compete with his help. Therefore, we would advise that he start in business for himself. ELBERT P. RATHBIN Gug” Scientific Course. “Gug” is not exactly our idea of a sheik—but who can tell about these Noank fellows, anyhow? The only thing that we have against him is that he is inclined to generate H=S at most unsuitable times. We might add that he is immune from the effects of this scented odor. (25) Qttyt 2frulkele| Annual IRA RATHBUN Scientific Course. Ira is a country boy with lot of spirit. He is a hard worker and, in a few words, a good, quiet fellow. He won the football which was raffled after football season. HAROl.!) J. RUTMAN Classical Course; Orchestra (1) (3) (4). Harold entered Bulkeley with a remarkable past following him. He condescended to play in the orchestra for a few years and to attend school on time once in a while. His pet trick is to make a perfect recitation without his book open. His hair seems to be his best asset. MAURICE R. SALO—“Tessie”—“Beef” Football (4); Track (3) (4); Class Baseball (2) (3); Classical Course. Four years ago who would have thought that the quiet little lad would turn out to be the “Tessie” we know so well? He came to us a peaceful little country boy, but who can say he leaves us as he came ? “Beef” surely did make himself famous in football history when he picked up that ball in Stamford and ran for a touchdown. PERRY T. SHAFNER—“Ponzi” Manager Debating Team (4); Dramatic Club; Stage Manager “Red Mill.” Whenever we think of Ponzi we think of his beloved horse Lulu. They are seen so much together that they are beginning to look alike. It is rumored about school that “Ponzi” always kisses Lulu good-night. “Ponzi” can imitate barnyard noises to perfection. Cije ulkelep Annual AARON J. SEIGAL Debating Team (3) (4); Scientific Course. Have you ever come in contact with this fellow when he was feeling like transacting business with you; has he ever tried to ring you in on the most absurd bets; and then got away leaving you victimized? If he has, you may be rest assured that you are not the only one he has bewildered. JACK I). SMITH—“Smiuie”—J. I). When the photographer told “Jack” to look pleasant he didn’t know that “Jack” thought he was trying to be sarcastic. “Jack” is always looking pleasant, and as a rule says things that make others look pleasant, too. But why shouldn’t he? Anyone who hails from Mystic will always have something to laugh about. LEON H. SOLOMON—“Chink” Leon is a good boy, with much stress on the “good.” He is like other members—a hard worker. Yes, he drives a Ford—no crime in that. WILLIAM G. SPARCO “Bill” “Princess Pat”; Pot-Pourri; Christmas Chimes; Double Quartette; Owega. “Bill” entered Bulkeley with a great handicap in that he came from Missouri; but that isn’t the worst, he was born in Westerly. His greatest fault is his acting ability. He professes to be a singer and the two are nearly unbearable. His Missouri training aided the school greatly when he played the part of a country constable in “Princess Pat.” (27) dje ulkelep Jttnual LEON N. ST. GERMAINE—“Saint” Class Basketball (4); Football (3) (4); Class Baseball (2) (3) (4); Prom. Committee (3) (4); “Annual” Staff (3) (4); Class President (2). And now, ladies and gentlemen, meet St. Germain. He partakes of all school activities and shows an abundance of Bulkeley spirit. His specialty is shooting that line of his to some queen who is kind enough to listen to it. Needless to say “Saint” likes the opposite sex. CHARLES I. SUISMAN—“Sphinx” Debating Squad (3); Class Basketball (4); Class Baseball (2); Classical Course. “Sphinx” has been with us for four years and yet we find it impossible to razz him in the least. He is always ready for a frolic or a fight with anyone from Wein to Muscarella. His chief delight is to appear inattentive in Math, and when the Master calls on him he goes through the entire proposition perfectly (awful). MORRIS M. WEIN—“Weiny” Latin Prize (1); Second French Prize (3); Orchestra (1) (2) (3); Senior Prom. Committee; Classical Course. “Weiny” made himself famous in his scholarship during the early part of school years. He played in the school orchestra, where his violin did a lot of talking. We might add that he rolls a wicked ball when bowling. WALLACE G. WILSON—“Wally” “Annual” Board (4); Pot-Pourri; Double Quartette; “Red Mill”; Entre Nous; Manager Track Team. In his four years with us we have found him where ladies are concerned. A good student and a hard worker. Although not active as an athlete, he has come to the front as manager of the track team. Among his other accomplishments Gcrdor is an unusual artist. (28) (29) THE .JUNIOR CLASS Cjje 2?ulUelep annual Junior Class OFFICERS GERARD MARIANO, President EDMUND H.

The Junior Class, after settling down and becoming accustomed to their new program, began to feel the need of a president. A class meeting was called in the early part of October and after several members had been nominated, a vote was taken, the results showing that Lyle Farrell was elected president. In November each class was requested to put on a short play to be given in the Assembly. A committee for the play was chosen by the class president. Alden Fowler, the chairman of the committee, wrote a short skit, which was put on with the assistance of several other members of the class. Wallace Wemple was chosen from the Class of 1021 as a member of the Athletic Council. Hie class president having left school, a class meeting was called in February to elect new executives. At this meeting Gerard Mariano was elected president. Edmund Gannon was chosen treasurer, and the class decided that each member of the class should pay dues each month. The dues were to go towards defraying the expenses of the Junior Prom. A committee was chosen, consisting of Shirley Kilburne (chairman), Clarence Lund. Sanford Tuttle. Edmund Gannon and Alden Fowler. Though rather small in numbers the Junior Class has been well represented in athletics. Last year the Seniors were the only ones who carried off a prize in the annual track meet. The honorable and distinguished Class of 1924 also carried off one; the best cabbage that could be secured, bound round with the class numerals. In spite of what the foregoing paragraph may indicate, it will be admitted by everyone that the Juniors were well represented in football by Lund, Minnucci, Silva. Daniels, John MacDonald. Kilburne and Salo. Credit should be given to those who wrent out for practice and were prepared to take a place on the team should occasion demand. When it was announced that the debating season was open, the Junior Class was well represented by Freeman Elder, who, it will be remembered, participated in the Torrington and Willimantic debates, and by Thomas Elder, who has marked talent in that line. With spring at hand comes the announcement that interclass baseball games will be held. This announcement has caused manifestation of great interest on the part of the Juniors, and they soon hope to have a team that will be able to compete with the best that the other classes can produce. Eight members of the Junior Class were given a place on the Annual Board. They w'ere Freeman Elder. Thomas Elder. Wallace Wemple, Frank Ames, Edward Fisher, Charles Mahan and Sanford Tuttle. Now with the third term exams over, the class is settling dow'n for the last quarter, everyone determined to pass at least one Algebra exam before the end of the school year. (32) (33) •' 'V V .

Zuccardv (35) Sophomore Class History T the opening of the school year 1922-1923, nearly 100 young men, ranging between the ages of 11 and 17, registered as sophomore students at Bulkeley High School. A majority of these were a trifle proud, for they were no longer freshmen and regarded as babies. Shortly after the re-opening, Eddie Henkle of the Sophomore Class, who had been president during the Freshman year, called a meeting to elect new officers. George Sheflott, who had distinguished himself as a leader in athletics, was elected president. Walter Rice, also a stellar athlete and leader among the bo)s of the school, was chosen vice-president; while 1 red Tuttle, a young man of considerable literary ability, was chosen secretary and treasurer. The officers appear to have been well chosen; the Class of 1925 having been strongly represented in various school activities. Before school began Captain Fowler, a senior, called for candidates for the football team to represent Bulkeley High on the gridiron. Nearly one-half the squad was made up of energetic sophomores; striving for the various positions on the team. Although many were disappointed they are to be congratulated for the fine efforts which they made. While but little hope remained for a place on the regular squad those who tailed to make the first team formed a scrub team which gave the ’varsity much needed practice. Rice and Sheflott of the Class of 1925 made right and left half-back, respectively, playing good, hard, clean football throughout the season. Joe Barrv of the sophomores made full-back, sharing that position with the senior St. Germaine, while Eddie Henkle made second quarterback. Dillon, also a sophomore, made center and was one of the mainstays of the line all season. In basketball the sophomores produced a dark horse in the person of Ed. Taylor. His playing at forward throughout the season was of the stellar type. His accurate shooting won many of the games for Bulkeley. Rice again advanced into the limelight by playing a brilliant game, first at guard and later at forward. An inter-class league was formed, which presented some very interesting and exciting games. The Sophomore Class again came to the front by winning the first place in the league without a single tie or a defeat. Sheflott, Barry, Parisi, Hutchinson and Muscarella comprised the sophomore quintet, and after winning the league the team played many strong juvenile aggregations without suffering a defeat. Shortly afterwards the school presented several skits entitled Pot Pourri”, each class putting on a playlet. The Class of 1925 showed its dramatic ability, giving its play in a manner thoroughly creditable. Samuel Winram. who later played in the school play “Princess Pat . Ammond and Abe Watchinsky carried their parts well in the Pot Pourri” offering, while in the same playlet Stevens, Gray and Lincoln effectually portrayed feminine parts. William Beeves was appointed to represent the sophomores in the Athletic Council. The sophomores were also well represented on the staff of the Bulkeley Annual. Reeves, Morgan, Paton. Latham. Henkle and Lincoln being elected to the board. The 1923 track team was plentifully sprinkled with sophomores, who seem to have produced men for every form of sport. At present the candidates for the baseball team are out for practice and the indications are that the Class of 1925 will be strongly represented on the diamond. Any class that anticipates outdoing the Class of 1925. either in athletics or scholarship or dramatic or literary pursuits will have to get up at Three o’clock in the Morning.’ (36) (37) THE FRESHMAN CLASS The Freshman Class OFFICERS JAMES DEMPSEY, President LAWRENCE CHAPPELL, Vice-President ARTHUR SHI RTS, Secretary-Treasurer Oliver Abernethy Morris H.

Worrall (39) Cl)t 2frulfcelep Annual History of the Freshman Class (1926) NYONE who passed Bulkeley School on the morning of Septeml)er 12, srfw a crowd of shy fellows roaming cautiously about the grounds. Only a blind person could not tell by their appearance who the members of this crowd were; but, for the benefit of some who did not pass by the school, I will tell you that they were to be Bulkeley’s Freshmen for the ensuing year. The reason for their shyness was that they feared that at any moment the upper classmen might assemble their forces and rush upon them to inflict initiation. However, as no attack of this kind occurred, the “children” gradually became braver and even approached the school steps. Soon the bell rang and upon entering the building the Freshmen obtained their first interior view of their future educational home. They were lead to the auditorium where Mr. Underwood gave them a lecture, explaining the system of the school and notifying them that they must behave themselves. After this they were assigned to their home rooms, namely eleven, twelve, thirteen and fourteen which are the new rooms supplied by the annex. Upon reaching their rooms, the record of each new pupil was taken. Then they were divided into divisions according to their alphabetical standing. This being completed the records were sent to the office where, being checked up, it was found that this class was the largest one that had ever entered the school, numbering in all 160 students. When one or two days had gone by without any accidents befalling them, the Freshmen began to think that the initiation had been overlooked. Thev were wrong, however, for on the third or fourth day a notice was posted on the bulletin board stating that all Freshmen must come to school the following dav wearing no neckties and that anyone wearing a tie would immediately be deprived of it. This was signed by the upper classmen. In spite of this warning several Freshmen persisted in wearing their ties. True to their word, the dignified upper classmen soon had their ties and shortly, long strings of neckties could be seen strewn around the building. However, after this day was over the Freshmen were given their freedom. After school was well under wav the class held its election. Under the supervision of members of the faculty, votes were cast for president, vice-president, and secretary and treasurer. The men elected to these offices were James Dempsey. Law'rence Chappell and Arthur Shurts, respectively. The next notable affair that was carried out by the class was the skit which they put on in the Pot Pourri. The acting was excellent and the performance was interesting, for which considerable credit should be given to our youngsters. Soon after this they held a meeting at which a committee was appointed to select the class pins. After a time the pins were selected from a firm in Boston. The class had to wait a long time for them to arrive, but finally received them. The Freshmen also put out a basketball team. They played games with teams from the upper classes but they were always at the short end of the score. Even though they lost all their contests they were game to the last minute and never gave up hope, much to their credit. Up to this time, by taking part in the school activities, the Freshmen have shown fine school spirit. As it was mentioned before, the class is the largest one that ever entered the school and there is no reason why, if it keeps up the same spirit it has shown, it cannot be the best class that ever entered the school.

Early in the year Mr. Donner organized a discussion group among the Sophomores composed of twenty-five members. To be eligible a Sophomore must have received a college certificate grade in his Freshman History Course. Membership in this group is entirely voluntary and does not count any credits toward graduation. The object of the group is to give the boy an opportunity to discuss in an informal manner subjects in which he is genuinely interested. These discussions are characterized at all times by an admirable spirit of frankness and honesty. While the student has pleasure at the same time he is trained to reason and think while giving expression to his thoughts. At the present time the group is greatly hampered by the short space of time available for its meetings, but next year after the group has passed the experimental stage the time will probably be lengthened. Another innovation introduced by Mr. Donner was the open forum. The first forum wras on March 21. The subject being on the live question of the militant form of society versus the form of voluntary agreement, or whether the military school better fits a boy for getting ahead in life than the public school. A large number of students took part and decided overwhelmingly in favor of the public school. The purpose of the forum is to train the boy to reason clearly and to speak effectively in public. This first open forum was presided over by Mr. Donner, but in the future a student will be in charge, thus making it entirely of the students. One can see that in the course of time the open forum will become one of the most popular means of voicing the opinions of the student body. Towards the middle of March a call for candidates for the debating team was issued by Mr. Donner, the coach of this activity. The result was successful, over a score coming out for the team. From this number only five were retained, these composing the debating team proper. Under Mr. Donner the five went through much training in anticipation of the debate with Salem on April 7. The subject for debate w'as, “Resolved. That the United States should Own and Operate the Coal M ines”, Bulkeley taking the negative. The team that represented Bulkeley was composed of members of last year’s team, the speakers being Freeman Elder, ’24, Abraham Watchinsky, ’25, and Edward Henkle, ’25. with Thomas Elder and Aaron Siegal, alternates. For Salem, the speakers were Hyman Marcus, ’23, Lois Williard, ’24, William Kotarski, ’23, and Frederick Cavanaugh, ’23 (alternate). Although the judges gave Salem the decision three to two, the verdict might easily have been reversed. The splendid showing made by the team in its single debate was conclusive proof that the team was living up to the high standard set during the preceding year’s activity. The arguments brought forth by the Bulkeley speakers were clear, concise and well developed, being explained with the ease and force of experienced public speakers. While for Salem the debaters argued with confidence and oratorical ability, as was to be expected from a team that had passed through an undefeated season. Mr. Donner, the coach of all forms of debating activity at Bulkeley School, deserves all credit for developing such a fine team of speakers. The school owes him a debt, for he has made possible the open forum and has continuously done all in his power to further every kind of debating w:ork.

Pierce, the orchestra ! has become the finest organization at Bulkeley. No other activity in the school life gives so much pleasure to so many people, hut we have L become so accustomed to good orchestra music that we do not fully —appreciate the individual efforts of its members. Whenever occasion calls, the orchestra is always there, ready to please. Lately, not only at school, but outside of school, has it gained commendation and approval. Different affairs carried on outside of the school have given the people of New London opportunities to hear it play, to their enjoyment. At Hartford recently, it came in for its most worthy acclamation of the year. Plaving at the Hartford Armory, this winter, in a contest with orchestras from all over the state, it was pronounced the second best High School orchestra in the state. Playing such selections as Rachmanioff’s “Prelude”, “William Tell”, “Oberon Overture”, and the “Peer Gynt Suite”, and playing them well, proves the talent of the young players and the ability of the leader. Never has the orchestra yielded to so-called “jazz”, hut always has it given us of the best with classical music. We feel that much credit is due the orchestra for its accomplishments. Pot-Pourri N preparation for the coming musical comedy, Mr. Pierce decided to give everyone a chance to show' his talent in acting. A fair way was to put on a series of plays by the different classes and give everyone a chance to try out for the plays. As Christmas was near, it was decided to give an entertainment at the beginning of the holidays. Every class was to present a play of about thirty minutes and everybody was given a chance to try out. After the casts were selected, rehearsals were started and soon the skits were ready to he presented. On the night of the performance a large crowd was on hand and a big evening was expected. First on the program was a humorous playlet by the Freshmen, which ran off with great success. The acting wras fine and we see great possibilities in sight for coming plays. The leading role was taken by Max Socol, who kept the audience in laughter most of the time. The other characters were also taken by Freshmen and all of these did very well. The Sophomore Class was the only one to attempt anything musical, a short comedy being presented. As ladies were required in the cast, some members of the class volunteered to play feminine characters. The play was very creditably gi en and the audience was pleased with the acting. Next came the Junior Class with a combination of jokes and jazz. The jazz hand is to be complimented on their musical ability. The jokes showed originality, which is the very thing which most players strive for. The class came out strong in their songs and the audience was delighted. A very amusing play was presented by the Seniors, who portrayed a schoolroom scene with recitations in progress. The heart-breaking romances were shown with great ability and the parts were very well spoken. The songs and jokes were amusing. The class deserves much credit for their efforts. As a finishing touch, the faculty presented a plav. entitled: “Thirtv Minutes for Lunch”, with a very good cast. It was amusing to say the least and was presented with unusual ability. (49) ije 2frulfeelep Annual Social Activities HORTLY after school started a dance was given for the benefit of the football team. Fhe new auditorium provided the dance floor, making it unnecessary to engage other quarters. The hall was artistically and beautifully trimmed with orange and black streamers, the school colors. At one end was hung a huge black banner with an orange letter “B” boldly predominating. This was loaned by Professor Lawrence. M usic was rendered in a very capable manner by the Shepard Swanson Orchestra. Dancing began at 9 o’clock, ending at 11.30. A large number of Bulkeley boys escorting fair partners were present. A slump in the financial department of the Athletic Association necessitated the arrangement of another football dance a month later. This proved to outshine its predecessor in all ways. It had the advantage, however, for school was then in full swing and everything was going along on a systematic basis, students turning out then to support all school activities. The proceeds of this dance carried the football team through a successful season financially. The melodious music was provided on this occasion also by the same orchestra. With the close of the football season the basketball season was on. As there was not enough monev remaining in the treasury of the Athletic Association to take care of the needs of basketball, another dance was determined upon. The Mohican Hotel Orchestra was engaged for this dance, and provided excellent music. One of the most delightful affairs held at the school was the Senior Prom, given January 22. of the present year. The dance was held in the school auditorium. The decorations far excelled all former efforts in this direction. Augmenting the multitude of orange and black streamers, a mass of balloons hung from the center of the ceiling and added greatly to the splendid effect. During a “novelty” dance the balloons were released and a wild scramble to secure them followed, each of the dancers trying to annex one of the fancy rubber toys. Streamers and showers of confetti filled the air and settled upon the merry crowd. Favors in the form of hats, horns, mirthmakers and noisemakers were distributed during the evening. The event was one that will linger for a long time in the memory of everyone who had the good fortune to attend. The Mohican Hotel Orchestra was at its best and provided snappy numbers, which were appreciated and called for encores. The committee to whom credit must be given for this delightful affair were: St. Germaine, chairman: Ruddy, Wein, MacDonald and Fowler. Plans are now made by the Junior Class, 1921. for a Junior Prom to be held at Danceland. Ocean Beach. The date will be May 18. 1923, and Shepard Swanson’s Orchestra will provide the music. The committee hopes to outdo all previous Junior Prom affairs and is making extensive preparations for the event. Last year’s Junior Prom was a beautiful affair, and if th;s year’s class is to do as well, or better, a wonderful event is in the making. The committee in charge of the affair is Kilburne, chairman; Gannon, Lund, Tuttle and Fowler. The dancing will be from 9 to 12. (50) “The Princess Pat Presented by BULKELEY AND W. M. I.

I. gave the “Red Mill”, provision was made for another musical comedy to be given the following year. After much consideration “The Princess Pat” was decided upon. Many rehearsals were held before the play was presented at the Lyceum Theatre on February 15 and 16. The performances were very creditably produced and won favor with the public. M iss Irene Wendt, who played the stellar role in the “Red Mill” took the part of the Princess Pat. She will be remembered as an actress of unusual ability. Her charming voice captured the hearts of the audience from the start and when she sang “Love is the Best of All”, they were entirely at her will. Miss Marjorie Palmer, one of the leading characters in the “Red Mill”, took the part of Grace Holbrooke, which she portrayed with great ability. Her pleasing voice gained the approbation of the entire audience. The part of the pert French maid was taken by Marion Bowen; she carried off the part with a credible bit of acting. There were two comedians in this year’s play. One will be remembered as the sheriff in the “Red Mill” and this year as a self-made millionarie. This young man has displayed marked ability in acting, filling his parts to perfection. His name we need not mention, for most people recognized Robert Henkle as the villain of many plays. Aaron Elfenbein was the other comedian who kept the audience in laughter most of the time. He is a newcomer to the ranks of the actors of the two schools and deserves special mention for carrying off the part as he did. As an auctioneer he also showed marked ability. Next conies a young fellow who will be remembered as the Princess’s bettei half. The part of a jealous husband is one of the hardest to portray, but he creditably carried it. This chap, “Toto”, is known as Samuel Winram to his schoolmates. Donald Dunn, as an austere butler, deserves much credit. Last year he was the butler in the “Red Mill” and was received with great enthusiasm by the patrons of the theatre. General Holbrook or Alden Fowler was another of the hits of the show. His manner was just suitable for the part which he portrayed. He also was one of the veterans of last year’s show. The real funmaker of the show was William Spargo, who as the country sheriff, kept the audience in roars of mirth all through the performance. His acting in numerous plays have shown him to be an actor of ability. We regret very much having to lose him this vear. Another newcomer is W allace Wemple, who as the son of a millionaire, depicted that character wonderfully. His acting and his stage manner won him a place in the ranks of Bulkelev actors. Too much cannot be said about the wav in which the various teachers helped in putting the show across. To Mr. Pierce goes the credit of the success of the show. His tireless efforts for the success of the play will not be forgotten by the cast and chorus. Mr. Keeney and Miss LaFrance rehearsed faithfully with the principals everv time rehearsal came around. Their training of the cast could not bave been improved upon and thev, too, contributed much to the success of the play. Mr. Phillips, and Shirley Kilburne, 1924, managed the performances with unusual ability. A profit of about S750 was realized from the play, which was way beyond expectations. The profits were equally divided between the two schools, as had been done last year. -� 1 (52) (53) Football Coach—MR. T. J. O’BRIEN, Manager—ROBERT T. HENKLE Assistant Manager—EMIL J.

Accordingly Coach O’Brien and Manager Henkle decided on a schedule which was admittedly the hardest undertaken by any team in the state. This course was decided upon in order to test the ability of Bulkeley to compete with high schools many times as large. The season as a whole was propitious, one that we might look back upon with pride. A squad of sixty men all did their part towards putting out an eleven that won a major portion of the games they played in. But the most satisfying phases of the past season were the games with Leominster High of Massachusetts and N. F. A., Bulkeley’s old rival. The score of the game played jn Norwich, “44 to 6”, represents the worst trouncing that a Bulkeley team ever gave N. F. A. during their fifty years of football history. We would like to say, “Crosby was the first of Bulkeley’s many victims”, but a pretty run by Captain Coridco from the 20-yard mark prevents us from doing so. The final score of 14 to 6 reflects much credit on the efforts of Bulkeley, for Crosby is considered as good a team as can be found in the state. Bulkeley was hampered by the absence of Peck, our star end, an injury to St. Germaine and the weight of our opponents. Our only score came in the first period, when Captain Fowler circled the left end for a 35-yard run and touchdown. By constantly hammering our right end Crosby made a steady advance to a touchdown, which brought them on even terms with us at the end of the first half. In the last half Lally intercepted a Bulkeley pass and this, coupled with Captain Corideo’s run, proved our undoing. But the next game against Meriden, one of our old rivals, told a different story. The Bulkeley boys ran through and around the Meriden players at will. From the second half on, it was all Bulkeley and they surprised their most skeptical supporters. Coach O’Brien’s method was beginning to take effect. At the end of the game he was showered with congratulations on the fine showing of his team. The score of 19 to 6 represents the one setback which Meriden suffered all season. Sheflott, Fowler and Rice continually advanced the pigskin for first downs or caught long forward passes. Dillon’s work against Captain Kunz was most commendable. In fact everybody was in form that day. New Haven came down for our third game and the wise ones said, “fish”, the New Haven papers referred to it as a practice game for their veterans. Coach O’Brien and certain members of the student body resented the imputation of inferiority and put in a week of hard work, “for the practice game.” The result was that when the whistle blew for the first quarter, Eddie and his gang were ready to beat up anybody; by the way. New Haven wras one of them. Getting down to the game itself New' Haven had no more chance of getting a score than they had of keeping Bulkeley from getting one. Our visitors came close to getting a first down during the initial half of the game and they actually accomplished this feaj towards the close of the game. It would be a difficult job to pick any special feature of the contest, for the Bulkeley backs completed one hair-raising play after another and the linemen broke up most of New Haven’s pet plays. The ball seemed to be going the same way all the time and that was the wav our team was traveling. In the very first quarter Fowder demonstrated his football and incidentally his track abilitv by covering the distance from the 40-vard line to the New Haven goal line in almost no time. From then on Doc, Walt and St. set five yards as the minimum for their runs. Peck made two pretty catches of forward (56) )t ulkelep Annual passes, both for twenty yards. With all this wonderful work one would think that the final score would resemble that of a track meet, hut with an endless amount of tough luck we were only able to make a single score. So the, “practice game”, ended 6 to 0. About 200 students and supporters followed the team to Westerly the week after the New Haven game. Bulkeley did the expected and took the Westerly team into camp to the tune of 18 to 6. The playing of Sheflott, MacDonald and Rice was too much for the Westerly boys to overcome. In the first quarter Westerly-fumbled and converted the misplay into a touchdown. This bit of luck aroused the fighting blood of our boys and from the second quarter on they registered a touchdown a period. The first of a number of unfortunate casualties happened when Minucci, who was playing a fine game, crumpled up in a heap and had to be removed to a hospital. The halfbacks, Walt and Doc, played well together and were a hard pair to beat. Mr. Underwood summed up the Hartford game very nicely when he said. “Saturday, eleven moving vans came down from Hartford to play football with our boys.” They only outweighed us twenty-five pounds to a man. (Oh. if Ulanoff had only been eligible.) By plunging, banging and pushing, the Hartford backs, aided by their mere 1250-pound line, pushed us over our goal line four times and garnered 25 points. Not content with this large score, the Hartford eleven was guilty of ungentlemanlv conduct. In the last quarter Bulkeley opened up their bag of tricks which completely baffled their opponents. This final spurt brought the ball to the Hartford 30-yard line, where Sheflott made a pretty drop-kick and saved us from a shutout. Harwood, the star guard, played throughout the game with a broken shoulder—a true Bulkeley man. Gus MacDonald was laid up temporarily with a broken wrist. The real hard-luck contest of the year was played against Ansonia the following week. Ansonia never got any closer to our goal line than the 35-yard mark, while Bulkeley was inside their 10-yard line twice. Once Fowler carried the ball over on a long run, but the touchdown was disallowed. In the third quarter, with the ball on our 35-yard line, Ansonia decided to try a dropkick, realizing the folly of rushing against the strong Bulkeley defense. Andrews, a substitute, was rushed into the game. He was quite busy during his minute of playing, for he made the only score of the game, sent us down to defeat and incidentally entered Ansonia’s hall of fame. In the last five minutes of play Bulkelev getting possession of the ball on their 35-yard line advanced it to Ansonia’s 4-yard line. First down, four to go, ten seconds to play. Rice was called back on the old right formation. The scene was laid for a dramatic close of the game. But with our customary tough luck, a misplay came at this point: the ball took a sharp bound and rolled out towards midfield. We recovered it, but too late, for the whistle blew, and a sad crowd drew their weary feet homeward. Bulkeley clearly outplaved her opponents and the boys deserved to win. Stewart, Ansonia’s fullback, was the best player that we came across all season. He was Ansonia’s big gun. a steady ground-gainer. Fowler, Sheflott and Muscarello starred for Bulkeley. Exhibiting every indication of a mid-season slump, Bulkeley went down to defeat before the New Britain eleven. The defeat came as a surprise even to those who realized that the team w-as in a slump, because New Britain had previously-been defeated by two teams that Bulkeley had decisively beaten. The game was slow and uninteresting despite an occasional trick play. New Britain played above the form which they showed in their earlier games and unloosened some long forwards and some trick plays. While Bulkeley spurted only once—that was in the third period when Rice grabbed a 20-yard pass out of the air and raced 12 yards before (57) Tlje bulkeley Annual being brought down. Sheflott circled the end for 11 yards followed by a 15-yard pass to Peck. Barry advanced the ball to the 1-yard mark, where Fowler took it over. The try for point failed. Reynolds, the New Britain quarterback, shared greatly in his team’s success. He threw a pass for New Britain’s first score and later skirted the Bulkeley end for their second score. The final account read: Bulkeley 6, New Britain 13. The reason for the slump, Coach O'Brien decided, was a lack of experienced men to take the places of those who were injured or ineligible. All of the possibilities were watched closely the following week by Mr. O’Brien. It was finally decided to give Salo and Kilburne regular berths on the team in view of the fine work which they had shown, both in practice and in some of the earlier games. The squad then set out for Torrington with the colors flying and all hands on deck. Torrington, the conqueror of Ansonia, proved to be little less than a set-up for the rejuvenated Bulkeley outfit. The score, 13 to 0, does not begin to indicate the difference in the strength of the two elevens. Displaying the fight and dash of its earlier games the Orange and Black gridiron machine ran roughshod over its opponents. Torrington never got within Bulkelev’s 10-yard line—a truly remarkable record. Bulkeley, on the other hand, continually threatened Torrington’s goal line and missed another touchdown when the hall was fumbled on the 3-yard line. Although Bulkeley’s team displayed rare dash and fight, yet the spirit of the contest was furnished by a drunken Torrington rooter, when he ran out from the sidelines and made a perfect tackle of Captain Fowler, who was on his way to a touchdown. This act cost us another score, since the referee disregarded the rules of interference and let the run go for naught. Bulkeley smeared eleven of Torrington’s twelve attempts at passing, while they themselves completed seven out of eight passes, many of which were the hair-raising variety. The features of the game w'ere: a 12-yard pass from Rice to Fowler; a 25-yard pass from Fowler to Peck; another from Rice to Peck for 35 yards, and a beautiful run by Rice, who caught a punt and wormed, squirmed and twisted his way through the entire Torrington outfit for 30 yards. Rice was the star of the game. His punts were all good for 45 yards, his passing was fine and his rushing equally as good. The line spoiled Torrington’s plays w'ith clock-like regularity. This victory was just what the team needed and prospects looked good. The second game with Westerly, whom we had previously beaten IB to 7, was plaved on the Tuesday before the Leominster trip. Coach O’Brien thought it best to save as many first-string men as possible for the trip Saturday; and so when the Westerly men took the field they found an eleven opposite them made up almost entirely of subs. During the first half the subs held Westerly even and missed a fine chance for a score. The strong resistance put up by the visitors necessitated the sending in of the first team in the last half. By out-passing us in the last half Westerly out-plaved us. But Peck was on his job and put an awful crimp in Westerlev’s passing game by intercepting no less than three heaves. On one of them he raced 60 yards for a touchdown. Rice kicked a field goal from the 20-yard line in the earlv part of the third quarter. At one time Westerly had the ball on our 10-yard line, but the Bulkeley men held and took the ball on downs. The Thanksgiving Dav game against Stamford was lost by the score of 9 to 7. This is the closest score that the Orange and Blaik has been defeated by Stamford in their eighteen years of football. The contest was close and interesting from the starting whistle to the finishing onf. Each team scored a touchdown, but Stamford put in a dropkick for good luck. The dropkick settled the game and the Bulkelev boys had to be content with the great satisfaction of knowing that they had played the strong Stamford eleven to a standstill. This was the last game of the season. (58) (ST''- Qti)t ulkde lnnual ssu isj?.:; Norwich Free Academy and Bulkeley are intense rivals and have been for lifty years. It is sad to relate, but true, that Norwich has won a major portion of the games between the two teams. Last year we were beaten by Norwich, due to a niisplay after a closely-contested battle. This year the Bulkeley men headed by Coach O’Brien and Captain Fowler were out for revenge. A rally was held at school the day before the big game and the men were inspired with confidence. The whole squad started out for Norwich Saturday with the support of some 600 enthusiastic rooters. The Norwich people treated us with an unlimited amount of kindness (before the game). Fully 3000 people lined along the sidelines. Norwich always has had a fine cheering squad and this year was no exception. They also had a band there which ceased playing after the first half. Fowler kicked off to Norwich and hostilities commenced. After a couple of plays the Academy tried a pass which Captain Fowler intercepted. The Bulkeley boys lost no time and soon bad the ball over for the first score of the game. Norwich tied the count shortly afterwards, when Bulkeley failed to cover an onside kick. Things began to look interesting, but not for long. The Norwich ends proved to be weak and after three runs around them Fowler took the ball over for our second score. Fowler passed to Bice for the extra point. Norwich received and fumbled. McMahon recovered for Bulkeley. Fowler again tried the end and found a path for his and Bulkeley’s third touchdown. The second quarter was one penalty after another for both teams and no scores were made. In the second half the Bulkeley battering ram got under way and worked the ball down the field for our fourth touchdown. Sheflott made the touchdown and kicked the goal for the seventh point. In the last quarter the game was on the verge of deteriorating into a track meet when Rice intercepted a Norwich pass and made our sixth touchdown. Williams of Norwich made a 25-vard run around the Bulkeley wing before being stopped. It was a pretty run and Williams deserves credit. Near the end of the period. Captain Fowler made the seventh touchdown and forty-fourth point. Just before the whistle blew he ran 60 yards, but the run was of no avail for the hectic, one-sided game was ended. The Norwich men were in no condition for such a game, while Bulkeley was. The Norwich players dropped out one by one until the first and second teams were used up. The members of the third team stood shivering on the side lines praying that the contest would end before their turn came. While the game was in progress trouble was brewing on the sidelines. The Norwich rooters unable to stand the sight of seeing their players being trounced surrendered to the psychology of mob action and started trouble. The police led the Bulkeley men to their lockers at the end of the game. Vocational and Bulkeley are supposed to have little love lost between them. Yet John Dwyer, Vocational star, engaged in combat with some of the Norwich hoodlums in defense of Bulkeley. The Bulkeley management was struck a terrible blow when . F. A. broke tbeir contract and refused to come to New London. The game would undoubtedly have drawn at least 2000 spectators. Then, too, the team would sure have liked to play Norwich in New London. Leominster. Missing school Friday, November 7, was the first of many pleasures enjoyed on the three-dav Leominster trip. Despite the fact that this was an inter-sectional game played in northern Massachusetts, over a hundred Bulkeley supporters took the trip with Coach O’Brien and his eighteen charges. The team left early Friday morning, arrived in Worcester at noon and in Leominster two hours later. After we had glanced the town over and filled ourselves up at the hotel, we jumped into our football togs and went over to the school for a little secret practice. (5! ) )t ulfeelep Annual We ran through our signals and Walt, St., and Ed. did a little punting. We were very much impressed with the school, the field and the spirit of our friends. In the evening we were entertained at a theatre party by the Leominster coach and team, who had hired the theatre especially for that evening. A couple of pictures were shown and some amateurs displayed their wares on the stage. Most of the fellows would readily agree that the hit of the evening was, “It doesn’t cosfc a Penny.” After this busy day Mr. O’Brien decided to send us under cover at ten o'clock sharp. Not a whisper was heard all night. Saturday afternoon Captains Fowler and Barrett met for the tossup. Fowler won and elected to receive. He caught the kickoff and ran it back 20 yards. He passed to Peck who was laying on the other side of the field. Bernie lost no time and carried the ball to the 1-yard line, right in the shadow of the Leominster goal. Leominster prepared for a line plunge, but Fowler fooled them and took it over for our first score around the end. But this was not all, for the boys were playing in true Bulkeley style. Within five minutes another touchdown was registered, due to Rice’s two long runs. Fowler’s long run and Rice’s pass to Peck. Leominster thought that scores were in the air, so they received. Net gain, 20 yards. The line was holding good and almost broke up Leominster’s punt which we got at their 20-yard mark. With good interference Fowler made our third touchdown and eighteenth point. The 200 New London people made up in noise for that which the 2000 Leominster people lacked. The rest of the game was a little slower and not quite as interesting as the first quarter. The features were Peck’s 65-vard dash for a touchdown in the third quarter, which was disallowed. St. Germaine’s fine punting and our opponents’ lone score. Fowler and Muscarella were hurt, but not seriously, and they were none the worse for the melee. I have often wondered who felt best after this great victory. It would be hard to decide, but I think it was a tossup between Mr. Underwood, Mr. O’Brien and the team. After the game we all hurried back to the hotel to get spiffed up for the supper and dance which was given us at the school. We weren’t in bed at ten o’clock that night. Next year we hope to see the Leominster boys in New London and hope to give them as good a time as we all had in their home town. It was in the fall of last year that we heard rumors of having a new teacher at school who had the rare qualities of a scholar and athlete combined. He came and writh a bang which shook the very foundation of old Bulkeley. One might be stupid enough to ask if we were disappointed in him? We were like—. The members of the three upper classes well remember the first afternoon he got the boys out where the annex now stands. Even if they should forget that eventful afternoon they surely remember the two fighting teams he turned out, the 1921 and 1922 elevens—two winners. He faced a tough problem in picking an eleven out of the sixty candidates. But every man admits that the best players held down the different positions; showing that Tom is an A-l coach. Mr. O’Brien was the personification of a football coach, with a tongue that could slash and tear like a razor, but that got the best out of every one of his men. The best high school quarterback in this and probably many other stales, a true leader of men and the best football player Bulkeley has had in many a year— that’s Ed. Fowler. Too much praise cannot be given this man, not only for the marvelous stvle in which he conducted the team, but also for the fighting spirit which he displayed in all of the games. He made half of the season’s total points and most of his touchdowns were on runs of anywhere from 50 to 60 yards. In (60) Cl)t bulkeley Annual the two biggest games of the year, Norwich and Leominster, Eddie made the wonderful sum of 36 points. Most of his scores were due to his wonderful end-running ability, at which he was perfect. With his wonderful speed he was able to run straight out to the side-lines, cut in and get started before the opposing men had realized just what had happened. Here’s luck to you, Ed, and may Bulkeley have many more like you. The two biggest games financially in New London, the Norwich and Vocational, were not played this year. Added expenses were incurred everywhere and the Leominster trip cost the management a neat sum. Yet Henkle, manager, turned the season into a great financial success by meeting all these expenses—a remarkable feat when all the handicaps are considered. Bob demonstrated his great go-get-it spirit last vear w'hen he made the banquet possible by collecting a large sum of money. He had a novel way of selling season tickets. He would come in each loom, give a short speech, march down the aisle, throw a ticket on your desk and stait taking down your name. The hard schedule undertaken by the team was made possible by his fine managerial work, at which he will always be a success, if past work means anything. Walt Rice, at left half, carried the brunt of the work throughout the season. In a way we might measure Walt’s success by the team’s success. For he was the main ball carrier, did most of the punting, and threw the passes. His interference was par excellent, showing that he strove mightily for the team and for the school. In Torrington he reached the peak of his form, showing the home team, at their expense, just how the game should be played. Next year! W’alt; well, let's wait. Sheflott. at the other half, completed a pair of fast, furious, and skillful halfbacks. When he got started Sheflott was a hard man to stop. He accounted for 33 points during the season, being next to Fowler in this department. What would have happened over in Westerly if Doc hadn t been there? Yes, Doc, you won that game for us. But why, oh why, did you let that axe slip? At fullback we had a steady, capable man, equally as good on the defense as on the offense. St. Germaine was a master of the game, being able to size up the opposite team’s plav instantly. His punting seemed well when the team was in tight places. A good example being the Westerly game in New' London, when he kicked out from our goal line to their 10-yard line. Barry played about 30 quarters at fullback. All his kidding and good nature vanished when he was given the ball, for he put his whole soul into advancing the pigskin. Peck, at end, was one of the shining lights of the season. Passes were his specialty, and he excelled at this game. He made the unheard of record of catching nine out of every ten passes thrown to him. But besides this he gave good interference, broke up passes on his side of the line and played an excellent defensive game. The features of his play were too numerous to mention. But his best work was done in Torrington and Leominster. We regret that this is your last year at Bulkeley, Bernie, for we realize that many a moon will pass before we have another like you. Harwood and Minucci were two good guards who were both in the same boat getting injured at mid-season. Harwood was a man that would be a delight to any coach, his strong build, coupled with an unlimited amount of power and grit, turned back anv attack directed at his position. He was a tower of strength in all the games up to the time he was hurt. The Hartford game proved his undoing, however, for he sustained a broken shoulder in this game. We little wonder that Don was so well liked when we consider that he played throughout the Hartford game (Concluded on Page 94.) (61) Cfje 2 ulfeelep Annual Basketball Team MR. ALLAN W.

Basketball 1923 EFORE winter settled down, Coaches Falconer and Mansfield called a meeting of candidates for the basketball team. At this meeting members of the team of the previous year elected John MacMahon of the graduating class captain of the quintet. Manager Lubchansky told of lire schedule the team was to go through. The first two games that the Bulkeley hoopsters played were against the finest aggregations in the state. The first game was played at Bridgeport, the home team winning easily. The next game was with the fast Hartford High team, Bulkeley coming out on the short end of a large score. However, after intensive practice under Coaches Mansfield and Falconer, a team was turned out the equal of that of any other high school in the state. Branford was the first to test the mettle of the rejuvenated team and went down to defeat in a whirlwind struggle by the score of 28 to 21, due largely to the untiring efforts of Farrell and Taylor. Branford had previously defeated Bridgeport. The next game was with Savbrook. This proved to be a walk-away for Bulkeley, the local players dashing to a 46 to 11 victory under Captain MacMahon. The Alumni game the week following proved to be a great attraction. Because of the Christmas vacation many of the Bulkeley Alumnae were home. Many colleges were represented by the Alumni aggregation, among them were: Sammy Lawrence, Al. MacDonald, Jim MacMahon, Joe and John Mclnnis, Franky Shea and Chick Birmingham. The game was fast and hard throughout and when time was called the school team was ahead by the score of 37 to 25, due largely to the playing of Lubchansky and Farrell’s many successful tries for a point after foul. Our basketball quintet next stacked up against the fast and brawny Fort W right Independents. Using the five-man defense that the Bulkeley coaches had developed our team held its opponents to three field goals and four successful shots from the foul line, giving a total of ten points to the islanders, nine of which were accounted for by their star player Allen. For Bulkeley, Taylor and Lubchansky contributed generously, giving 32 points towards the total of 42. On January 11, Bulkeley journeyed to W'aterbury to meet the quintet of Crosby High. This team, which won the national high school championship last year, completely out-classed Bulkeley, burying the locals under a landslide of 75 to 14. For Crosby, White had a wonderful time dropping in field goals. This star forward made fifteen baskets, while for Bulkeley Farrell was the star, scoring more than half his team’s points. The next game was with the local “Y” Seniors. This team had been winning steadily until Bulkelev stopped them with a 35 to 16 score. In this game the Bulkeley team played rather loosely, not showing their usual pep and dash. Captain MacMahon led his team in tosses from the floor, getting five baskets during the game, most of them being long-distance shots, while Farrell showed up well with his snappy pass wrork. Bulkeley’s basketball team was next matched against the strong Stamford High quintet at Stamford. This was one of the hardest games on the schedule. Our team under Coaches Mansfield and Falconer put in some hard practice. But by the narrow margin of a single point the Bulkeley team was defeated, the score standing 38 to 37. The game was described by the Stamford sport writers as one of the (63) Cl)e ulfeelep Annual hardest fought and fastest games seen at Stamford. Two extra five-minute periods were necessary to decide the issue and even then there was little to choose between the teams who both played the best possible brand of basketball. Bulkeley was handicapped on this trip by having only the five men composing the team present. 1 he others missed the train. Our boys were loudly cheered by the Stamford crowd for their pluck and after the game everyone wanted to shake hands with them. I he next game scheduled was with Saybrook. but on account of the illness of three of her first-string players the game was called off. Manager Lubchansky with his usual efficiency secured a game with the Hilltops, a fast amateur aggregation made up from the U. S. Submarine Base. The game turned put to be a 32 to 21 victory for Bulkeley. The contest at all times was fast and both teams were compelled to exert themselves to the utmost to bring the ball down the floor for a tally. At the beginning of the third quarter the Hilltops were in the lead, but Taylor, who had been conserving his energy, began dropping the ball through the hoop with such rapidity that the successful ending of the game was never in doubt after this period. It was at this time that the Bulkeley basketball team was dealt a severe blow. Farrell, who up to this time had been covering the left forward position with glory, left school to go to work, and W alt Rice, who played left guard, had to retire from the game with an infected elbow. The loss of these regulars meant a great deal to the team, but Coaches Falconer and Mansfield produced dependable plavers in Bugs Silva, Zepp, Muscarella and Parisi, all of whom finished the season in ’varsity form. In the game with the Young Men’s Hebrew Association basketball team, Bulkeley ran up a record score. It took only five or ten minutes of play, when the new combination of Silva and Muscarella began to run smoothly, and at half-time the score favored Bulkeley 29 to 9. At the beginning of the second half Parisi made his first appearance with the ’varsity regulars, although he had played with the sophomores heretofore. Parisi replaced Silva at right forward and Zepp went in for Muscarella at left guard. Bulkeley’s team work improved as the game progressed and the final score was 61' to 14, in the school’s favor. For the losers. Pine was the star, making ten of his team’s points, while for Bulkeley, Taylor, Lubchansky and MacMahon played their usual brilliant game. The last game of the season was a return contest with the “Y” Seniors. Bulkeley had once taken the measure of this doughty team and when they met for the second time they were both full of fight. As a result of this feeling, the game was terminated at the close of the third quarter by a quarrel. The score on ending being 32 to 13, in favor of Bulkeley. Manager A I. Lubchansky of the Class of 1923 arranged a very good schedule. He gave a generous allowance of home games and booked some of the best teams in the state. Besides carrying on his heavy managerial duties he played center on the team the entire season, getting more than his share of the jumps and having the highest total of points scored. John MacMahon. the popular captain of the ’varsity five, played right guard in every game. Although, owing to his position he was not a conspicuous basket-shooter. he could always be relied on to keep his head and contribute a useful point whenever the opportunity offered. In picking the team he showed good judgment and was instrumental in bringing the team through a successful season.

A., baseball was being held at the gym, the baseball season did not open in full swing until the conclusion of the great indoor track meet held at the Armory. From the greatest number of candidates who ever turned out before in the history of the school. Captain MacDonald and Coach Phillips chose a squad which was destined not only to spread the name of Bulkeley all over the state hut also to establish by its record the delightful claim to the title High School Champions of Connecticut.” The longest and stiffest schedule ever drawn up for any athletic team at Bulkeley was undertaken and carried out to a successful conclusion, devoid of the pomp of rallies and banquets, minus the luxurious presents of sweaters, and, in fact, without anv recognition from the officials of the school. Out of a schedule of twenty-four games, seventeen were won on the field, three were forfeited and four resulted in defeats. The first game resulted in a 14 to 2 defeat at the hands of the heavy Milford Prep team at Milford. In the second game the Bulkeley team swamped the Deep River High squad under a 13. to 3 score at New London before about twenty fans. Once again did the bats of the Orange and Black players come into play, when they scored twelve runs over Westerly at Morgan Park on April 21. Zepp pitched masterly ball, shutting out the visitors with three hits. With the use of subs on Wednesday, April 26, Bulkeley defeated Deep River for the second time by a score of 8 to 6 on the latter’s home grounds. On Saturday, April 29. Bulkeley took the strong Middletown High team into camp bv a 7 to 0 score. This was a great battle. Zepp pitched his se ond no-run game, also holding his opponents to three hits. Only once did Andeen, Middletown’s ( rack pitcher, weaken. That was in the third inning, in which our swatsmen won the game. Billy Smith with three hits, and Skip MacDonald with two, starred at the bat. Chester Day, made two sensational catches. On May 2. the Rhode Island State College Freshmen, with five ’varsity men. defeated our aggregation by a score of 9 to 4. On Saturday, May 6, the greatest battle and victory of the season took iplace when the undefeated Crosbv High players. State Champions of 1921, crossed bats with the Orange and Black warriors. Up to this stage Crosby had defeated such first-class teams as Milford Prep, Bridgeport High. Wilby High. Torrington High, and Hartford High. Paradis. Crosby’s first-string pitcher, faced Zepp, Bulkeley’s (66) Cf]t 2frulkelep Annual main slabsman, with the largest crowd of the season present. There was no scoring until the third inning. Smith singled and took second on a passed ball. The Rabbit stole third and scored on Farrell’s single. Then in the fifth inning through errors and hard hitting the Crosby players secured two runs. But in the seventh inning the combined hits of Day, Smith, Farrell and Mclnnis resulted in Day and Smith scoring the tying and winning runs of the game, respectively. The Crosby players went down fighting, slashing hits barbarously with their hats, hut fast fielding quelled them. Io no one player can the success of that memorable dav he attributed. Zepp pitched masterly hall. Lyons and Day pulled off some sensational fielding. Smith and farrell hit the ball furiously and at opportune times. Bliven caught well. The MacDonald Brothers played steady ball. Mclnnis was the pivot of the whole defense. And when on that eventful evening the shades of darkness drew on, a thrill of joy passed through the hearts of those valiant nine players, of their coach and of their manager. Memory of this precious day will linger forever in their hearts. The sixth game resulted in the defeat of Morgan High at Clinton by the Bulkelev subs under a 17 to 3 score. The next day the Orange and Black squad returned home and with Turner in the box defeated Windham High 12 to 4. On Saturday, May 13, traveling to Stamford by auto and arriving there just one hour before the start of the game, the weary players through ineffective pitching, five errors and two misplavs allowed Stamford to score five runs in the first and two more in the seventh. The final score was Stamford 7, Bulkeley 5. On the following Tuesday the coming champs were defeated on the hilly field at Westerly, 16 to 12. But in the next game, with Turner in the box, the Bulkeley sluggers swamped the South Kingston High players 16 to 2 at Wakefield. On Saturday, May 20, another thriller was played at Morgan Park, in which Bulkeley defeated the strong West Haven nine, aspirants for the championship, by a 7 to 3 score. Zepp pitched a good game. Skip MacDonald with four hits and Bill Smith with three, were the batting heroes. Lyons, as usual when playing against a strong team, knocked out hits, scored runs and made put-outs when thev were needed. On Tuesday, May 23, with Parisi the freshman in the box, Windham was again defeated by a 16 to 3 score at Willimantic. May 24, Stonington High was defeated by a 15 to 1 score, with Turner twirling. Finally on Memorial Day the whole student body, the Headmaster and the Faculty, awakening to the fact that there was a ball team in the school, journeyed to Norwich and witnessed, after a nip-and-tuck struggle for the first four innings, the slaughter of their ancient foe by tbe deceiving score of 18 to 5. Turner was easily the shining light of the game, pitching invincible ball after he had relieved Zepp. Then followed an era of disappointment. The manager of South Kingston High sent a letter to the Bulkeley manager announcing the forfeit of the game to be played at New London on Thursday, June 1. Then came the telegram from Bridgeport High demanding that Bulkeley nine be at Bridgeport in time to start (67) GC )t ulkelep Annual the game by eleven a. m. To this the management consented despite the great difficulties. Then followed the flat refusal to play the game at all on that date, hut with the promise to play it off the week following. Finally, after much dickering in a telephone intercourse between the Principal of Bridgeport High and Coach Phillips, the Principal said, “We cannot possibly play this game due to the city ineligibility rules. So far as Bridgeport High is concerned, Bulkeley may claim the Championship. This was the end. I he game scheduled for June 6 between Morgan High of Clinton and Bulkeley was forfeited to Bulkeley along with the payment to the Bulkeley management of the guarantee involved. On Wednesday, June 7, Bulkeley journeyed to Stonington and defeated the named school by a score of 9 to 3. On Saturday. June 10, Bulkeley defeated the Norwich Free Academy by a score of 9 to 3. On the evening of the same day the players acted as hosts to their Norwich rivals at an informal dance given in the new auditorium. The dance was a complete success financially, as well as socially. After expenses had been paid, a total of $77.25 was realized. On Tuesday, June 13, on the Wesleyan College grounds, the jubilant Bulkeley lads defeated Middletown High hoys again by the score of 9 to 3. On this day a real good time was enjoyed by all. Through the generosity of Coach Phillips, an elaborate meal, the only one of the season, was partaken of by the players. On Wednesday, June 14, in one of the fiercest slugging duels of the season, the Bulkelev nine defeated the hard-hitting South Manchester team by the score of 11 to 5. On Saturday, June 17, the team won a close game from the Alumni by a score of 1 to 3. Thus ended the most successful season which any athletic team at Bulkelev has ever had. Rightfully may the team of 1922 claim the Championship, for onlv once had it been defeated by a Connecticut High School team. Hartford High was the onlv team which disputed the claim. Despite many offers for a game, Hartford refused to play Bulkeley. The Bulkeley team had the high batting average of .356 for the season, making 273 hits and scoring 218 runs. On the other hand the opponents had an average of .178, making only 125 hits and scoring only 94 runs. Captain William MacDonald, who held down third base, was the leading batsman of the season with a grand average of .470. Skip had the unique record of hitting safely in every game played, making a run of 27 games. Johnny Mclnnis, at shortstop, was the main factor in the defense. It was he who acted as a captain to them. Johnny Mac, at short, was third with the high average of .427, and was the leading run-getter, with 36 to his credit. Leo Lyons, at second base, proved to be a plucky player. Leo was at his best when playing against the strongest teams. Although with an average of .226, Fly hit the hall when hits were needed. Gus MacDonald, at first base, proved to be a valuable addition. Gus played the first sack well. His average was .347. William Smith, in left field, was the most sensational player of the whole (08) Cfn ulkelep Annual season. Kabbitt fielded marvelously all season, making only one error. He had a grand average of .462, being second on the list. He was the main factor in all the scoring. Lyle Farrell, in center, played his position well. Farrell was the team’s long-distance slugger. His extra base hits were timely and were responsible for many a game. His average was .425. Francis Day, in right field, was a fast, flashy fielder. He made several beautiful catches. He was a good run-getter. Whenever Daisy reached first, he always scored. Chester’s average was .314. Walt Rice, another outfielder, played his position in a very creditable manner. Rice’s average was .361. Johnny Bliven had another good season. Johnny handled the pitchers like Rav Schalk. There were very few stolen bases made against Bliven. His average was .267. Fred Zepp was Bulkelev’s mainstay on the mound. He won ten games and lost four. Zeke pitched two no-run games, allowing only three hits to each game. He also pitched another three-run game and one two-hit game. His batting average was .245. Cecil Turner, the senior member of the staff, won five games and lost none. Tuck has the distinction of pitching for four seasons at Bulkeley without losing a game. Altogether he has won about 16 games. His batting average was .250. The freshman battery, Parisi and Sheflott, showed up well during the season. Parisi won two games. Sheflott has a good wing and swings a dangerous bat. This pair should develop into stars in a year or so. Not only was the season a success on the field, but also it was in the matter of finances. Despite the many great expenditures at the conclusion, a sum of S23 remained in the treasury. Out of this sum made by the team itself, the sum of $7 was deducted to pay for the pictures taken of the team. Each player, Principal Underwood. Coach Phillips and the Manager were presented with one. The remaining 316 was given for the benefit of the Bulkeley Annual for 1923. The Freshman Class was greatly responsible for this fine showing. For from the sale of season tickets the sum of 8125 was collected from these younger boys, who willingly gave up their money with immense liberality. It was through Mr. Phillips’ influence that the Freshmen were induced to give to such a good cause. The money derived from the track meet and the dance of June 10 was another very great factor. Mr. Keeney was responsible for the track money which was 8100. To Mr. Underwood, who induced the management to hold the dance and who planned the function of it, is given credit for the benefit derived from the named dance. The rest of the money was obtained from the home games. These games were supported more by the fans of New London than by the students of (69) )t bulkeley Annual Bulkeley School. In only one instance was there any evidence of school backing. This occurred in Norwich on Memorial l)av. However, the prosperous termination of the season is due mainly to the willing co-operation and to the friendly conciliation of fellowship of all the players and Coach Phillips, who not only tried but did put Bulkeley among the leading interscholastic teams of Connecticut. Therefore, every member of that Bulkeley Baseball Team enshrined with this exemplified feeling of a completed work, will forever cherish the pleasant reminiscences of the spring of Nineteen Twenty-Two.

(70) Qltyt 2 ulkelep Annual A Recovered Memory HE slanting rays of a June sun, filtering through one of the windows of Tait Hall, fell caressingly upon the languid form of Harry Dawson, stretched out in a Morris chair. Slowly he stirred, disturbed by the thoughts of what next week would bring; for then his college ( Benton I was to compete with Rathblade, its most formidable opponent. By dint of hard work Harry had made the track squad, and had been selected to run on the relay team. I say “by dint of hard work , because it was for Harrv, for it seemed he couldn't remember the instructions which had been given five minutes after they were issued. As he was thus meditating on what the future held in 3tore for him, he was interrupted by a knock on his door. When the intruder was admitted, he walked slowly across the room with a serious look on his face. Well, Harry, I guess your memory, or rather your inability to remember, has got you in Dutch good this time,” was the melancholy salutation of Dwight Anderson. Dwight was one of Harry s friends, who pitied him for his inability to remember. “What have I forgotten now?” was the listless query. “Well, you’ve forgotten to take that make-up with Nebi for the second time,” came the rejoinder. Harry half started, but fell back into his chair, with despair plainly written on his troubled countenance. After a moment’s silence, however, he arose, put on his hat, and without so much as a word to Anderson, started off to see Professor Nathanial Everett Barton Irving, otherwise known as “Nebi.” As he mounted the steps to South Hall his heart was in his mouth, for, if he flunked physics he would lose his position on the track team. He entered Professor Irving’s office in an uncomfortable position, for what excuse could he give? He pulled himself together, however, and approached the professor. “Is there any possibility of a third chance to make up that test in physics?” was the blunt manner in which Harry opened the interview. “Well, Dawson, I haven't decided yet,” was the reply. If you were in my place what w'ould you do? Just suppose you had a lad come to you asking if he could make up a test which he had had a chance to do twice and had failed. Would you give him a third trial?” There was no answer. So Professor Irving continued: I don’t believe you would, and furthermore. I believe you are ashamed to be asking me such a thing at this moment.” “But sir, if 1 flunk physics, I lose my place on the track team, and besides, 1 didn’t fail to keep the appointment intentionally,” protested Harry. “I simply forgot. You may not know it, but since 1 started school in kindergarten, I have never been able to remember an appointment with anyone. Strange to sav though. 1 can remember my studies.” “You-m-m, I’ve heard of your inability to remember and you have my svmpathv. But what am I going to do? I ran for Benton myself once and I know how you feel. Nevertheless, if I gave you another chance to make up that test vou would forget as you did the other two.” (72) fje ulfeelep Annual “Bui sir, I wouldn’t, I’m positive!” was Dawson’s exclamation. “Well, Dawson, I’ll tell you: if, in the remaining days between now and Saturday, you don't forget once anything concerning your physics, I’ll give you an opportunity to take that test: but if you fail to remember even once, it's all up writh you in my studies.” As Dawson rose his face was a picture of thankfulness and determination. So overwhelmed was he with joy that he could only wring the professor’s hand. “I understand,” was “Nibi’s” parting comment. When Harrv returned to his room he found Dwight still waiting for him. “Well, Andy,” said he, “if 1 don’t forget anything pertaining to physics up to Saturday, I can run on that day with the relay team. So it’s up to you to help me, for if I was left alone I would he sure to forget. During the next week many fellows in college wondered what was the matter with Harrv Dawson. When passing him on the campus he nodded and said “Hello in a far-off and vacant voice. And stranger than that, he was always present in physics class, never missing a period, which was very unusual for him. So puzzled were the students that small groups gathered where the name of Dawson passed from one lip to another. Many surmises were made, but a flaw was found in each. It was soon whispered about, however, that his perfect attendance at physics had something to do with his running on the track team. When Harry entered his room on Friday, the evening before the tra k meet, he noticed an envelope lying on the threshold. Stooping, he picked it up, walked to the desk, and opened it. When he had read it he shouted “WOW! several times, and jumping onto the bed landed on Dwight whom he had not heretofore noticed. “Why the jig on mv anatomy?” was Dwight’s astonished demand. “Read! Read!” was all that Harry was able to shout at the moment. Dwight read, and with it came a sense of joy for the letter was from “Nebi . stating that Harrv was eligible for the relay team on the morrow, and that he should report after the race to arrange for taking his physics examination. Saturday dawned clear and bright for the track meet. In the morning the coach took the team for a stroll in the woods, to get their minds off the forthcoming meet. At noon they returned and, after having partaken of a light lunch they donned their suits and went out for light practice. At 1.30 the Rathblade team arrived, accompanied by a howling mob of loyal followers. At 2 the game started with the running broad jump. This was won hv Dean of Rathblade, Chester of Benton being second, while Chadwick of Benton was third. The score w'as then 5 to 4, in favor of Rathblade. Next came the high jump, which Rathblade also took, getting first and third places. This gave Rathblade a lead by 1 I to 7. In the 220-vard dash, however. Benton captured first and second places. The score was then 12 to 15, with Benton taking the lead. Thus the event progressed until the score stood 57 Rathblade and 56 Benton, with the final score dependent upon the relay race. The race this year was to be run in different style than previously, for instead of touching hands the baton would be used. Harrv was selected to run last and straighway took his position. The first two runners were about even, with a Rathblader 5 yards ahead of a Benton lad at the tape. Passing the baton to their comrades they lay down to regain their breath. The next Benton runner was awav like a shot and before his part of the race wras over he had gained 6 vards on his opponent. The next chap leggins it for Benton added 5 more feet to their lead. As the runner rounded the curve Harry (73) !)e 2frulfeelep Annual nerved himself. As soon as he felt the touch of his fellow runner’s hand he was away. Before he had run 5 yards however, he noticed the student body yelling madly and soon discovered the reason for their excitement. The baton—he had forgotten it! Swiftly he retraced his footsteps and was back again after his opponent, who hv that time was 10 yards in the lead. As he ran he thought what a fool he had been and how the students would laugh at him after the race was over. This was liable to cause his expulsion from the track squad, he thought. Why wouldn’t his legs carry him faster, he wondered. The distance between the two runners was lessening, but oh, how slowly! It seemed ages before he overtook the Rathblader, and then with a final burst of speed, he passed him and went on to the goal, crossing the tape a winner by 2 yards. Everything then seemed to go black before his eyes, and pandemonium broke loose. When he came to his senses he found himself seated in a tent with Dwight standing near. He dressed himself slowly and deliberately. During his thoughtful mood the timer rushed into the tent and cried: “I want to congratulate you! You knocked two seconds off the record.” A faint smile of joy crept over Harry’s face, and then he lay down to rest. Suddenly he arose however, and putting on his hat he started out of the tent. “Where are you going?” asked Dwight. “I just recalled that I have an appointment with Nebi”, was the triumphant response. Finis. A Theorem {With apologies to Lincoln.1 WENTY-TWO hundred years ago Euclid brought forth upon this earth a new theorem, conceived in logic, and dedicated to the proposition that all right angles are equal. Now we are engaged in a great examination, testing whether right angles or equal angles are equal. We have met for an examination on that theorem. We have come to the examination with only a portion of that theorem, but if our neighbors help those who have come unprepared, we shall not perish. It is altogether fitting and proper that they should do this, for we are unprepared, we did not study, and we cannot accept a zero. The mathematicians living and dead who have struggled with this proposition, have concentrated it far above our power to add or detract. The professor will little note what we write here, but he will never forget what we got here. It is for us—the unprepared ones—to crib the unfinished work of those who have thus far so nobly advanced. It is for us to crib the remaining; that from these studious students w-e take increased devotion to that theorem for which they gave their last full hour of study; that we here highly resolve that these students shall not have studied in vain: that this theorem under Euclid shall have a new proof, and that the proof of this theorem, by the theorem and for this theorem, shall not perish with a zero. (74) C!n ulkelep Annual The Turning Point HUMP! Then a short gasp was heard under the Jacksonville basket. At the sound, dead silence fell over the gymnasium. All eyes from the gallery turned toward the place where Walt Smith lay in a crumpled position, surrounded by players, referee, and Rich, the Jacksonville coach. Walt was heard to murmur something about his ankle, which was immediately inspected. A sad expression fell over all Jacksonville enthusiasts as he was finally carried to the dressing room. In a few moments, like an electric current, the news ran through the spectators, Walt had broken his ankle. The thought that Smith, the marvelous captain and flashing forward, was out of the game for the season and that chances for the Interscholastic League championship had suddenly gone fluttering to the winds, stunned the Jacksonville students beyond the power of words. The following afternoon, Rich spent in the sick-room with Walt. In vain they endeavored to find some way of filling the vacancy left by the captain's accident. It was hard to find a man with Walt’s playing ability or with his power to put snap into his team-mates. Several shifts were made in the minds of the two, hut to no avail. Finally the coach suggested Shorty MacNally. What. MacNally!”, burst out Walt, “Why he couldn’t drop a ball in a basket that was two feet away from him. “I know his shooting ability is absolutely rotten,’’ replied Rich, “but he has perseverance. He has the fighting spirit that we need and his shooting can be developed. All the spare time he has, he spends bombarding the baskets in the gym.” In the meanwhile the subject of this conversation was dashing back and forth under a basket, shooting a ball at it with each trip. Shorty was a blond with nearly white hair, a short turned-up nose and sparkling blue eyes. He was short, as his name suggests, but every ounce of him was good sound flesh. His ways and big open heart won him many friends. Occasionally as he ran back and forth he shot a basket much to his delight, but it was very seldom that he was happy as a result of shooting them. Shorty loved the basketball game above all other sports. It greatly distressed him because he couldn't shoot baskets and was, therefore, unable to obtain a position on the school team. Several times, after spending hours on the floor shooting at a basket until nearly exhausted and with little success, he was on the verge of giving up. but he was always encouraged by the coach, who told him to keep his head up and stick to it. Unknown to Shorty, the coach continually watched him during these long hours which he spent in the gym. Rich knew that Shorty had wonderful playing ability except for his deficiency in shooting baskets. Therefore, when Shorty was discouraged, he kept his spirit. One day when the coach saw that Shorty was about to give up, he called him aside and had a chat with him. “How are you coming along, old man? he asked. “Oh, sighed Shortv, “I can't find that basket for the life of me, so 1 guess I'll give up basketball and try something else.” (75) % ]t ulkelep Annual “Now don’t do that”, exclaimed the coach, “I know' a fellow who was in the exact fix you re in. He couldn t shoot a basket if his life depended on it, but he kept practicing until the turning point came and now l e is one of the best players I know of; so keep up your spirit and practice, and your turning point will come.” The hole made by Smith’s injury was filled by shifting a first-string guard to the position of forward, and the vacancy at guard was filled by a man from the scrub team. This left another vacancy on the scrub team, which Shorty was given the opportunity to fill. He played well in all practice games against the first team, but his eye for the basket was not yet developed. Seeing that he could not make points himself, he decided to always guard his opponent so well as to keep him from scoring. This he always did with excellency. There were only two more games left on Jacksonville’s schedule—one with Fairfield and the other with Greenport High. Jacksonville usually beat Fairfield, which did not put out a very strong team, but this year, with Smith’s absence, the outcome of the game was rather doubtful. Greenport High, however, put out a very strong team and was Jacksonville’s greatest rival. The championship of the league would be determined by the battle between the two and Greenport was believed to have the edge. When the whistle blew for the beginning of the Fairfield game, Shorty sat on the bench hoping that he would get a show. In the first half Jacksonville piled up a large score, so the coach told Shorty that he could play the second half. The beginning of the second half found Shorty in the position of guard. As the game progressed. Shorty took several shots, but could not score; nevertheless, he did some excellent guarding, which the coach noticed. Shorty’s defense work was by far superior to that of Jones, the man whose place he had taken. Rich, noticing the difference in the two men’s work, had it in mind to start Shorty in next Saturday’s game with Greenport, but he kept all this to himself. In an amazingly short time, as it seemed to Shorty, the day of the Greenport game arrived. When the coach read the line-up in the gymnasium, Shorty was duinfounded to hear his name read as plaving in Jones’ position. He was verv nervous before the game, but when the time came to start, he took the floor with grim determination. Playing for all there was in him. he tried a few shots, as occasion offered, all of which failed. He worried so about these poor shots that he let his opponent slip away from him with the result that he scored two baskets. After that Shorty woke up and determined that if he could not score he would at least keep his opponent from doing so. From that time on, his opponent scored no more points. Shorty’s team-mates weren’t so successful in guarding their men and taking advantage, the Greenport team kept adding to their score, which stood at the end of the half: Greenport 12, Jacksonville 5. As Shorty sat on the bench he heard the half-hearted cheers given by his school supporters, which told him that they saw defeat. He also heard them moaning over the loss of Walt. At the same moment, Walt hobbled over to him accompanied by the coach. They encouraged him, telling him to keep up his good work and to pass the ball swifter to his forwards. Shorty began the second half with the determination that he wouldn’t be a drag to the team if he could help it. Time and time again he took the ball the whole length of the floor only to pass it to a team-mate. Sometimes the latter would score; more often the delay gave the Greenport team time to block the shot. At the end of the quarter the score stood 16 to 8, in Greenport’s favor. In the last quarter Shorty, having dribbled the ball the length of the floor. (7G) Qt )t ulfeelep Annual found no forward to whom he could pass it. Pausing for a second, he took aim and shot, to his surprise the hall went through, scarcely touching the basket. A peculiar feeling came over Shorty. Was this the turning point? He seemed to think it was. A few minutes later he made another goal. From that moment on Shortv played like a transformed boy. Soon he netted two more baskets. His team-mates, noting his brilliant playing, also woke up and kept Greenport from scoring any more. The score now stood 16 to 16. “One minute to play!” announced the timekeeper. At the same moment the Jacksonville center committed a foul. The Greenport shooter made the free shot with ease, thus putting his team one point to the good. Shorty was frantic. As the ball was centered, he jumped in and was on it in a flash. Turning to start the dribble he saw the timekeeper with eyes glued on his watch, slowly raise the whistle to his lips. Although Shorty was scarcely past the middle of the floor, he took aim at the basket, as it was the only chance. A Greenport man attacked him like a bull, but was too late to stop the shot which went true as an arrow through the basket. The roar that filled the hall drowned out the timekeeper's whistle. No one needed to watch the scorer as he posted the score: Jacksonville 18, Greenport 17. All were watching the Jacksonville team, which, after cheering the Greenport men, carried Shorty on their shoulders to the dressing room, where the coach met him. “I came to congratulate you on your playing and for finding yourself”, he said, “the turning point is bound to come and it came to you all of a sudden as it did to the other fellow 1 was telling you about, who, by the way, was Walt Smith.” A New Year I’ve found by faith the friendly path That leads me through the year— And. lo, beyond the hate and wrath, Another year is here! A singing year is sweet to find, A singing year within the mind; A singing year for old and young, That from the faith they feel unsprung Their hearts may carry to the end Love for a fellow and a friend. —Selected.

Minucci got his in the Westerly game, when after making a tackle he crumbled in a heap. When he was examined it was found that his leg had been well bunged up. The injury kept him out for the rest of the season and the team had to go on fighting without his presence, which was at all times noteworthy. The other end was the most keenly-contested position on the team. Muscarella i he of the bushel-basket fame I did good work on the defensive, while on the other hand Daniels w'as best on the offensive. Coach O’Brien had his hands full trying to dope out the problem. They both played about the same number of quarters and whether Muscarella was in, or Daniels was in, we had a good man holding dow'n the position. Jerry Dillon, at the pivot position, was a hard, conscientious player of nerve and ability. Jed played more quarters than any other man on the team, hut this didn’t seem to have any effect on him for he improved, if there was room for improvement, with each succeeding game. When we played Meriden, Captain kunz, all-state center, couldn’t show Jerry a thing, in fact Kunz left the game in the third quarter all played out. You’re worthy of the honor, Jerry, and we feel certain that next year’s leader will bring out the best in each fellow and follow’ in the footsteps of Fowler. Salo and Kilburne were the men chosen to fill the places of Harwood and Minucci at mid-season. Two more capable men could not have been found, for they kept up the good w’ork which their predecessors had done. Ask Salo how it fecis to make a touchdown. He might blush and stammer, but he will finally have to fess up. It was in the Stamford game, Tessie as usual broke through the opposition for one of his tackles, but instead of encountering a player he came in contact with a decidedly foolish-looking ball. He thought he might as well pick it up as leave it there, so our own Tessie ranks with those other men who have made themselves famous in just the same way. Our other guard decided that he, too, would make himself famous. Kilburne also accomplished this feat over night in the Leominster game. He went wild making one tackle after another; breaking through the line and throwing the Leominster backs for losses time and again. M acMahon and MacDonald completed the eleven at tackle. MacMahon was the dread of his opponents, for he got through in every game. He used his strength to good advantage and it was seldom that Mac’s man got through. He played in everv game of the season, either at tackle or guard, but mostly at tackle, where he excelled. Every team has what might be termed the twelfth man. Bulkeley had hers, and a good one. too. MacDonald fitted in at halfback, tackle, or center. His playing was best at halfback, where he made many impressive runs. Eddie Henkle played second quarterback, getting a chance in nearly all the games. He filled bis position well and showed good judgment in his choice of plays. Special mention must be made of the subs whose w'ork was most vital to the team’s success. Forty subs stuck faithfully to their job, getting all the kicks and knocks in order to turn out a seasoned team. Then when there were positions open on the eleven the lucky men filled right in and carried on the good work. Those whose performances were most noteworthy were: Lund, Chapman, Montgomery. Brennon. Ruddv, Salo. J. MacDonald and Laskey. Laskey was a member of the first team until an injury put him out.

And side by side you’ve braved the tide, And struggled towards success; And shared each other’s sorrows, And each other’s happiness. Thus you began, and every man, No matter whence he came; From mansion or from humble home, Was rated just the same. And soon you learned, that what you earned, Was earned by work alone; And what you won you knew you won, By efforts all your own. Thus were your aims remoulded. And your ideals shaped anew; To fight your battles squarely, And stand steadfast and true. To subdue selfish instincts, Standing ready for the call: To live for Bulkeley spirit, Asking naught and giving all. But comrades true, the time has come. That we must separate; Though sad a parting, we are glad, To see you graduate. J C You go your wav rejoicing, And likewise we’ll do the same; As you start on your first inning. Of life’s great fighting game. So farewell, Seniors,—Classmates—Pals Mav fortune ever smile on you; Cod speed you on your way! And help you your deeds to do!
