Cije Semicentennial Reunion HE Semi-Centennial celebration and Alumni Reunion was held on June 29 and 30, culminating in a banquet at the Griswold hotel. This was probably the greatest and most far-reaching event in the entire school year, inasmuch as it was completely representative of the progress made by Bulkeley since her beginning some half-century ago. Her sons came from all over the country to be present in this celebration and represented various walks of life and all degrees of success. Friday evening, June 29, was devoted to commemorative exercises held in the school auditorium. Headmaster Underwood presided, and the program was opened with a selection by the Williams Memorial In-stitue and Bulkeley orchestra, under the direction of Howard Fierce. Mr. Underwood then delivered an introductory speech, taking as his topic “What School is to the Man.” He enlarged on the fact that “School and “Home” are practically synonymous in respect to their ideals and aims. William Ruddy, representing the class of 1923, spoke next, taking “Bulkeley School Spirit” as his theme. He cited examples from the past, showing the quality of the spirit that prevailed at Bulkeley, especially on the athletic field. The next speaker was Clarence B. Lund, who represented the class of 1922. He took as his subject “Out-of-town Boys and Bulkeley School”, speaking on Bulkeley from the view-point of an out-of-town student. Samuel B. Winram, on behall ol the class of 1925, came next, chosing for his topic “The Boys of Bulkeley . Following him, Professor Towne gave a “Resume of 50 Years at Bulkeley School. ’ 1 he next speaker was Max Sokol, representing the class of 1926. He spoke on “What it Means to be a Freshman at Bulkeley.” The last speaker of the evening was I )irector of Law Frank L. McGuire, who spoke on behalf of the city. He extended the greetings of the city, and congratulated the school on its progress. Upon the conclusion of the program the floor was cleared for dancing. The music was furnished by an orchestra under the leadership of Horace Fateh, a Bulkeley alumnus. Saturday afternoons was devoted to sports and Saturday evening the alumni banquet took place. The toastmaster was Mr. I owne, and the speakers were John F. Murray, George S. Chappell, and Lieutenant Governor Hiram Bingham. dje Rasters Mr. Homer K. I'nilenvood, M. A., Yale , I lead Master.

Short trousers seemed the accepted garb for most of us in those days, a fact which afforded the upper classmen, and especially the Sophomores, the opportunity ol making some pointed remarks upon the decreasing size of Freshmen. Our first day in Bulkelev was a sorrowful one for some of us, and many a Freshman wend- ed his way homeward minus his necktie or some other article of apparel. Freshmen were less than nothing at Bulkeley four years ago but such have been the changes wrought by time that some of us are beginning to wonder who will be the first Freshman Football Captain—or Manager of the Baseball Team. It was with unalloyed confidence that we assumed the role of Sophomores at the beginning of our school year at Bulkeley. But alas! A bit ol disappointment was ours. A new regime was in order and our fatherly advances toward the entering of class were looked upon dissaprovingly by the Powers that be. It is sad but true that the ancient Bulkeley tra- dition concerning neckties was last exercised on and not by the Class of ’24. But every cloud is lined with greenbacks, as the saying goes, and we suddenly found ourselves in the'limelight as the result of the track meet. For our remarkable efforts we were presented with a suitable trophy, a-ward by the Head Master himself. It was not until we had attained the dignity of Juniors that individual merit, hitherto lying latent, asserted itself. We had men in every branch of athletics, on the debating team and engaged in literary pursuits in connection with the Bulkeley Annual. We refrain from mentioning the names of these distinguished members since modesty forbids it. The big social event of our Junior Year was the Prom which we can in all humility say has never been equalled in merit by any previous class in the history of Bulkeley School. Incidentally there was no necessity for presenting us with a special trophy after the track meet. As usual, our high scholarship men took several prizes at commencement. In spite of the universal shortage of bananas during the summer we were back strong in the fall of 1923 anil while somewhat diminished in numbers we proceeded to make our Senior year a memorable one. Our accustomed large percent of men were out for football and contributed in a great measure to make the season a success. Sail to relate, Bulkeley had no basketball team this year and a great many excellent players in the .Senior Class failed to get an opportunity to display their skill. The tryouts for the debating team brought out a large number of men as did the competition conducted by the business department of the Bulkeley Annual. In short, what appears to have been a highly successful year has been completed. However, we shall not sing our praise too loudly for we are not out of the woods yet,—not while Mr. Falconer teaches Math, at Bulkeley, any- how. In conclusion the class of 1924 is glad to have been at Bulkeley these four years in spite of a few misunderstandings now and then, and it is with a feeling of sadness that we accept our diplomas and leave the friendly portals of our Alma Mater to set forth on life’s long journey. Class $ropljeq 'I'he brilliant rays of the sun shone resplendent upon the thriving metropolis of New London. It was ten years since the c lass of 1924 had graduated from that now famous institution of learning, Bulkeley School. This was our first visit to the old town since that far distant day when we bid farewell to our classmates to take up a position with Tom Z. Sock-a feller. One glance at State Street convinced us that the class of 1924 was there with the goods. The second hand clothing store of Ulanoff and Ulanoff was having its weekly lire sale and the proprietors chatted with us between sales. They were doing a rushing business. A little further up the street we came upon a sad sight. A broken creature, once a man, was sitting- in front of the Five and Ten selling safety pins and pencils. It took more than one glance to assure us that it was none other than our friend “Red Sullivan. Sadly we tossed him a nickel and turned away. Then a flaring showbill arrested our attention. It read as follows: •I). K. I H'W AND COMPANY. AT THE CAPITOL, SUNDAY NIGHT ONLY. A GALAXY OF YOUTH AND BEAUTY, SCORES OF PRETTY GIRLS HOT FROM BROADWAY 1 ! !” Poor lad! If he had not been kicked out of Oxford he might have gone far. Thus musing upon his sad fate we were nearly run down by a limousine which was tearing down State Street with a fine disregard for human life. The oaths and imprecations of the crowd testified to the esteem in which the owner was held. We gathered that it was that blank, blank guy, Davis. Made his pile back in the twenties, bootlegging. Wife left him when he took to opium . Now we decided to have a look at the seventy-five story Kilburne building. The Class of 1924 seemed to have a monopoly on the place, for many office doors were lettered with familiar names. We talked of old times with Mr. Hamlen, the elevator boy, grown grey with years of faithful service. “Yes boys”, he remarked as we left, “I’ve made lifting my life work.” The first office we entered was that of P. J. Boras who owns a string of restaurants as long as a bread line. We learned from him that our old friend Oscar Rutman is expected to graduate with the class of 1938. He is certainly to be congratulated on his perseverance. Suddenly in breezed Romeo Cleveland. He is to be complimented on his success in the forging business, at which he has made more money than Ponzi. He was taking up a collection to build a suitable memorial at Cedar Grove for George Cohen, whose suicidal attempt at lion taming reaped its inevitable reward. We gladly subscribed the two cents required. News of our arrival, spread rapidly. Clarence Lund, whose sensational divorce scandals have graced the front pages of every newspaper in the civilzed world, was another caller. He told us confidentially that he was planning a book to be entitled 1 low to be Happy though Married.” The happy reunion was interrupted however, as the notes of a mournful dirge echoed beneath our window. A funeral was passing. It was that of our former class president “Bugs” Silva. We learned that he had been killed the evening before in a friendly dispute about seven or eleven. Snatching our hats and coats we rushed out and raced the procession to the cemetery where we gave “Begs” a hearty send-off, Senator Freeman Elder telling some anecdotes which brought tears to the' eyes of many. The whole gang then adjourned to Cooper’s Undertaking Parlors, in Jim Main’s Car which reminded us of the good old days. At Cooper’s place we made a night of it. “Bootleg” Davis furnished the stimulants and “Blue” Hetherington’s Syncopated Jazz Babies the Rythm. “Sour Dough” Lshenfelder, whose disillusioned sex plays are privately produced, and whose love scenes are considered more passionate than those of F. M. Hull, delivered a four hour talk on the “Evils of the American Home.” As he has been married and divorced once every year since leaving high school he is in a position to speak with authority. Mr. Eshenfelder’s speech was broadcasted in place of the usual bed-time story from station WHAM. The pleasant gathering broke up early the next morning. The agony quartet, composed of Greenblatt, Lubchansky, Bitgood. and Ames closed the session with the strains of that stirring melody “If you Haven’t had Your Breakfast, You’ll Want Your Dinner.

GEORGE ELMER BITGOOI), Jr.— Bit ’ One of the requirements of a successful salt-water skipper is a voice that can be heard. No one has ever found out whether George wanted to be in the navy because he had the voice for it or whether he cultivated the voice because he wanted to be an admiral. At any rate lie’s going to sea, just as soon as he can find a coast guard academy or a naval school willing to graduate him. And he has a voice that rolls, and sobs, and thunders like the Mon-tauk Point foghorn. Class Baseball (1) (2) (3); Classical Course.

Even now he lias chubby cheeks and a dear pink complexion with just a suspicion of down on them. You can almost hear adoring matrons exclaim, “Hasn’t he sweet eyes!” His hair, parted in the middle, it is true, has a boyish cowlick at the back. But don’t let those details fool you. He has seen a lot with those eyes of his; behind that chubby face is a shrewd brain. Don’t start anything with “Fat ’ you’re not sure you can finish.

When the rest of Room 8 is in uproar, Robert looks on with his good-natured smile. He doesn’t quite understand why high-school Seniors should act like kindergarden children, but he is willing they should enjoy themselves even if it isn’t the sort of thing he would do. That’s the keynote of his existence—a genial tolerance. Scientific Course JAMES WILLIAM CLEARY—“Sonny ’ Here’s the man that’s out for a good time from the word go. Sonny doesn’t believe in studying but he usually gets by. With his childlike guilelessness he makes many friends, and a kinder-hearted, more unselfish nature we could never hope to know. DocaKoll ( V • r s GEORGE THUS. CLEVELAND—“Clevie The greatest asset of a young man is cheerfulness. We think “Clevie” knows this because lies never gloomy. Our happy friend is right at home in the water too. A regular fish. Besides his great aquatic ability he heaves some line, in fact, his line is his greatest weakness.

WILLIAM COOPER—“Willie” The will to endure, the will to succeed, behold it exemplified in Cooper. Not in vain has nature endowed him with those massive maxillaries. Nothing but sheer will power has carried him through Bul-keley, the will not to flunk. William is not an Einstien or an II. G. Wells but we’d just as soon have him around as either of them. We expect him to make fine mattresses. Rot Pourri (4); Commercial Course GEORGE MORRIS COHEN—“George M” George Co-hen, not “hail.

Spencer and Spenser, or Johnson and Jonson will pale into insignificance before the similarity of the names George M. Cohan and George M. Cohen. Cohan is the famous producer and playwright.

He plays the part of a dignified senior to perfection. We figure that his serious nature obviates any tendencies toward undue frivolity, take for instance, his nice dancing.

If there is anything he does not understand, he will dig and dig, until he does understand. He’s very sincere and we bet he’ll make a success in life. Commercial Course. DONALD ELTON DUNN—“Dunnie” Don’t compare him to Booth or Macready or Garrick. Rather call him a second Roscius, for Roscius was a comedian. Cicero defended Roscius in a law suit.

Zuecardy ulkeley Annual 9Q4 Cfje Class of 1925 | ASS AGE of time demanded in the spring; of 1923 the promotion of the Sophomore Class to the next step on the stairway of education. Thus when we applied, in the early fall, for admission to the factory of learning we found ourselves entering upon the pleasures and disappointment of another school year. All those who passed the mid-years will readily agree that we encountered naught but work and pleasure. At a special class meeting we decided that Sheflott and Barry hadn't taken on enough weight from last year’s presidency. In view of the situation we elected Sheflott president for the second successive year; a rare honor for a student of philisophy. That matter being disposed of, the class, as is customary, voted upon this year’s representative to the athletic council. W illiam Reeves, baseball manager for this spring, added another position to his already numerous, well-earned laurels. Then Porky appointed Barry chairman of the Junior Prom Committee. The Juniors have the' distinction of possessing two well organized groups—the discussion group, led by Mr. Donner, and the hookey gang, headed by Mr. Falconer. The first-named contains the pick of the Junior Class brought together to discuss the weighty questions of the day; the latter is composed of members of the third-period history class brought together to cuss the mental weight of the school. We also sent a mob a-round to help Mr. Pierce scratch the violins and other tools. In fact over half the orchestra is composed of energetic third-year men. But the exploits of the class of ’25 don’t stop there, for two small bodied but very large mouthed juniors spiel on the debating team. Probably the most notable achievement of the Junior Class was the winning of the state championship for high school baseball teams. The battery was made up of I taniels on the mound and Miellott behind the b it. Barry and Hutchinson roamed the infield in search of stray cowhide at second and third respectively. The outfield was represented by Rice and Mansfield, both accustomed to staying back. It is worth noting that Rice walloped the pellet around the lot for a grand batting average of .51b. The football team is also well sprinkled with Juniors, the backlield being eini ely so, while five out of the seven linesmen park their brogues m Rooms 1 or 2. An odd situation arose in that Dillon, a third year man at present, was captain of last years eleven. This honor was due Jerry because' of his standing in Bulkeley among the student body, in athletics, and most of all in the French and Latin Classes. Fern, because of religious tendencies, was chosen football manager for next year, while Sheflott, for the same reason, was elected Captain. Mr. Falconer for work as house detective, Mr. Donner, for effectually displaying the Arrow Collar styles for the season, Mr. Cole, for his fine support of the demerit system, Monsieur Hertell, for a good many hearty laughs, and last of all, Mr. llamlen for the many college credits which he has so kindly distributed, to all these the Junior Class wishes to express its hearty thanks.

Axson VL )t Class of 1926 I HE Sophomore Class got a poor start this year. Trouble developed [ 1 over the election of a President. The votes were collected; James Dempsey was elected. He declined the honor. Someone else—no one knows who—was selected in his place. Then Dempsey was elected to serve. Now the question is, Who is the Sophomore President? There was no order in the elections; they were carried out to the great dissatisfaction of the whole class. The results was never officially announced. Edward Kip admits that he was elected Secretary and Treasurer. There may be a Vice-President, but thus far he has successfully evaded detection. In spite of the fact that the class of ’26 was rather erratic in its organization, it has not been inactive in school affairs. During the football season, sundry Sophomores served as scrubs. Tim Connor was a regular and Robert Donohue was Captain Dillon’s understudy. One of Mr. Cook’s Sophomore English Divisions started the dramatic season at Bulkeley by presenting the Court-room Scene from the “Merchant of Venice.” After hard anti consistent practice the fellows were a credit to themselves, to the class, to Mr. Cook, and to Shakespeare. Richard Prentis was a lady-like Portia, Harry Nelson was the Duke, Arthur Schwartz was the revengeful Shylock, O’Neil made a handsome Bassanio, and Eddy Schinman played the ribald Gratiano. Mr. Cook deserved a great deal of credit for the success of this scene, for it was not the usual sort of farce attempted by boys of that age, but real drama. The Sophomores came out strong for the Armistice Day Parade. Blue and White were the colors chosen by our class. This banner had many followers. While “The Private Tutor” was being rehearsed, the Sophomores had to endure the surly, harsh temper of Mr. Cook. The trials of coaching Juniors for that play were too much for him. At the end of the second quarter, a change was made in the Class of ’26. The class was separated into divisions according to rank. This is a new idea at Bulkeley and has worked so well that it has already been applied to the freshmen. “The Filming of Uncle Tom’s Cabin” was the contribution of ’26 to the success of the Pot Pourri. Under Mr. Cole’s able coaching, the Soph- omore Barrymores showed what they could do. They almost captured the prize. Bill MacNamara, the photographer, did his part exceptionally well; he looked even tougher than he usually looks. The villain’s part, which every play must have, was ably taken by Harry Einhorn. Frank Norman looked like the original woodcuts of Uncle Tom. Max Sokol displayed his versatility by being the wife of Uncle Tom. Eliza Dreyfuss and his sawdust doll and Topsy Conner with his crooked bicycle furnished their share of amusement. If she could have mastered her cues, the spaniel “bloodhound” would have done the best acting of the evening, but she persisted in appearing at the wrong time. She even showed up in a tense moment as Mr. Cook was kissing Miss Morgan in the Faculty play. Mr. Pierce let up on his usual stiff lessons while he was coaching “Believe Me, Xantippe.” The long Math papers which the studious Sophomores religiously handed in were to be found, entirely uncorrceted, in the waste-paper basket. (Harry Norman found them there.) So far this year, Laurence Wilson and William Gragan have shifted scenery at every Bulkeley play except “The Private Tutor.” They furnished the outside noises at the Pot-Pourri, and the properties and artillery for “Believe Me Xantippe.” They are now considering offers from David Belasco and George M. Cohan. Except for a noteworthy closefistedness on the part of the inmates of Room 5, the Class of ’2b, has loyally supported every project that Bulkeley has undertaken. It has every intention of continuing to do so. 3ln itlemorian to Bussell C. Hyt, ’26 TIIK FRESHMAN CLASS dje Jfresfjman Clagg (Officers ............................

Now. boys and girls, you must remember that this was a very big school and that tin freshmen were very small both in form and in knowledge. Well, one day when they had been gently chaperoned into a herd, some great big mans in the persons of that vile tribe called the Sophomores were real mean and stole those innocent freshmep’s neckties; but there is always a God in heaven so Papa Underwood issued a decree that hereafter a Sophomore if he was naughty must undergo the penalty of five afternoon sessions or the equivalent of ten good hours sleep. Of course that immediately quelled any ferocious desires raging in the hearts of the upperclassmen and the babes continued their untroubled existence without a thought of the future and with the peace of contentment in their breasts. If you remember that famous day when the edict went forth that season tickets were to be sold for the support of the Bulkelev athletic team, you recall there was a great wailing and gnashing of teeth for the little freshmen had been taught to save every penny that came their way. However, due to the pressure brought to bear, a great change was wrought and the miracle came to pass. One bright day a cute little cherub walked up to our beloved teacher, Mr. Douglass, and said, “Sir, I want to help ulkeley Annum; 19 24 Bulkeley School. Never will 1 spend my money foolishly in pool games and in all night parties; no, I hereby resolve to give one penny every week for the support of good old Bulkeley.” The room was hushed into awed silence; Mr. Douglass, his weatherbeaten face the color of a dish rag, gasped, mad(' a heroic effort to express himself, and fell inarticulate and moaning to the floor. Thus, gentle readers, we have the sons of the idle rich to fall back upon. Since every Freshman has saved his money the aggregate must run into the millions. One day Papa Uunderwood announced that there was to be given an entertainment called a Pot Pourri. After the class meeting on the subject one far surpassing the others in wit and intelligence discovered that a Pot Pourri was not a cooking utensil but a program of class entertainment. Then to the wonder of the class he proposed that they should participate in this strange event. It was with fear and trepidation that the candidates ventured forth. 1'he result was overwhelming. I give you three guesses as to what sort of a play the darlings picked out. A skit entitled “Not Wanted, A Wife.” Perhaps they wanted the same experiences as were enjoyed by their brothers the Seniors without the inconveniences. Under the coaching of a man well qualified to understand the subject they turned out a production that was interesting from the psychological standpoint if not the dramatic. The babes did well and one would think that with all the practice that is in store for them some day, boys and girls, there will be a new company of Bulkeley actors, but that day is so far off that it makes me old even to think of it. In the line of brutal, degrading games, the dear children are green but willing and it is hoped that with a few more years of malted milk behind them that some day they will be able to take their place before the world and wc can say “Verily, here is a man!” Already some have come out of their chrysalis is enough to realize that things are happening in the world about them. They are assuming the proportions of men and with the casting off of their dresses they are to assume the habliments of men and case their unfolding limbs with the “long pants” of age and decorum. And therefore it is with a world-worn and tolerant gaze that we look upon the men of tomorrow and appreciate, while we cannot tolerate, their faults and misdeameanors. Bulkeley Annual !♦'i 924 - Pw rtr “£fje iPrtoate Cutor” ()n December 20 the Junior Class of Bulkeley School presented a three act farce entitled “The Private Tutor.” Approximately 400 people were thoroughly delighted by the plot, by the humor brought in at the appropriate moment, and by the splendid acting displayed by the entire cast. The play was particularly noteworthy for the new talent brought to light in the Junior Class and in the fact that the Junior Class has never attempted anything quite so pretentious as “The Private Tutor. “The Private Tutor” is reminiscient of college life. Suspension from school—a frantic effort to conceal the disgrace from the parents of the two boys— and finally the arrival of the parents themselves. The two chums, Fred .Spencer and George Garothers, are suspended from college for attending a prize light and the paternal visit brings on the whole story of “The Private Tutor.” Thomas R. Cook, who coached the play, succeeded so well in his efforts that it would be hard to bestow praise on any one individual. Samuel Winram, as Fred Spencer, admirably depicted the part of the young collegian who was constantly getting in trouble and calling upon his chum, George Carothers, played by Robert Lincoln, to help him. Lincoln as the chum took his role in the same professional way as did Winram and finally married the heroine as is characteristic of every good play. The part of the long suffering father who was worn out by the pranks and tricks of his son, was taken by Joseph Watterson. He was a true “Iratus Chremes” in every sense' of the word and his expression of disgust were amplified ten-fold by his black stogie. The leader of the German band was Herbert Fern who turned pedagogue for ten dollars a day. His maneuvers in breaking into society and evading the responsibilites of conversing with the ambitious mother, kept the audience in a state of hilarious laughter. Robert L. Shanklin, as Richard the butler, functioned as the dignified and stately personage in a respectable American home. Lenore Gagnon, as motherly Mrs. Spencer, made this part so real that the audience had to dry their orbs so great were the expressions of sympathy. Pretty, unsophisticated Lleanor Pendleton made Dolly Spencer a real and loveable character. Her devotion to Carothers and her plans to thwart her mother’s designs were executed with a fine display of acting. The modern element of life continued to function in the play with the appearance of Miss Eleanor Rose, who played the part of detective. The credit for the success of the play goes to Mr. Cook and the members of the class who assisted him in the numerous duties attending the play. Walter J. Barry and Edward Henkle, advertising anti business managers respectively, carried the financial end of the play very well. .Bulkeley Annual It 9 0.4 CAST OF PRIVATE TUTOR Fred Spencer ................................

As an incentive, a prize of five dollars was offered to the class giving the best act of the evening. This plan aroused great interest among the students and was so successful that Bulkeley School immediately decided to make it an annual affair. February i was the date set for the 1924 Pot Pourri. For about a month prior to that time the members of the various casts worked hard and faithfully, while every student looked eagerly forward to that evening when he would see his chums and well-beloved instructors on the stage. On the night of the performance the largest crowd that had ever attended an entertainment given in the school assembled, until Phil had to lock the doors. Before the performance the motley crowd was regaled with the dulcet strains of the combined Bulkeley and W. M. I. Orchestras, who were handsomely rewarded for their efforts. It is a well known fact that good things come in small packages, and this fact was borne out in the case of the Freshman. 1 heir act, entitled “Not Wanted, a Wife”, was amusing, to say the least. It was short and snappy, drawing many a laugh from the audience, which was with them from the start. Sophomore’s playlet, a comedy entitled “'Hie Filming of Uncle Tom s Cabin”, followed the freshman skit, Samuel Snitkin, taking the part of a movie director, and Rathbun, the “little boy” from Noank. portraying Little Lva, did some fine comic work. The entire cast deserves great credit for putting on one ol the best plays of the evening. At least it is certain that none of the audience went to sleep during this part of the program. After a brief intermission the faculty presented their play, “The Man In The Bowler Hat.” As the various members of the faculty appeared on the stage the applause was deafening, every entrance being taken as the signal for a short cheer. The height of the applause, which at times could hardly be distinguished from hissing, was reached when Mr. Ham-len and Mr. Aldrich appeared in the roles of viIlians; neither needed make-up, and their acting was perfect. Much ol the success ol this presentation is due to the able assistance of two members of the W. M. I. Faculty, Miss Morgan and Miss Adams. .Bulkeley Annual 19 24- The Junior class came forth with a mock trial. This was the longest act of the evening, and the audience became somewhat restless, although nothing happened. However, it was put across in fine style by the remarkable work of Winram and the loquacious Watch insky. Joe Watterson was the typical criminal, and Hilly Reeves a perfect specimen of a farmer. The hit of the evening came when the Seniors put on Shakespeare’s immortal tragedy, “J. Caesar. ’ I'he leading part was taken by George Cohen, whose Caesar all critics declare is admirable. Rrutus and Anthony were portrayed to perfection by C larence Lund and Donald Dunn respectively. The audience was kept in a state of continual laughter by the members of the cast, and too much praise cannot be given them for their unusual ability. After everyone had enjoyed a good laugh over this farce, Mr. James Hammond, who had been asked to judge the plays, was called on by Freeman Elder of the Senior Class to award the prize of the evening. He made a very interesting speech in which he pointed out the benefits of these performances and praised the classes for their splendid work and the spirit and ability which they had shown. After summing up the various skits and taking into consideration every detail, he finally awarded the prize to the Seniors, whom everyone seemed to think deserved it--at least everyone among the Senior Class. The orchestra which had been moaning for some time, finally broke forth into a lively march and the concourse trickled from the auditorium. Wo fee 1 sure that since the 1024 Hot Hourri has been such a howling success that it will be continued in the future but at the same time wo feel confident that it will be many years before we see a Hot Hourri the equal of that of 1924. ®)r Cast of tfjf J3tne Shutting J9otJ9ourri JDlnp Hrologue Speaker -- Julius Caesar .....

Pierce JBulkeley AnnualI 9Q4 ‘peltebe itle, Xantippe!’ is the custom each ye at when the two schools, Bulkeley and W. M. I. present a play at the Lyceum, the theatregoers were not disappointed in its presentation this year. It was said that this performance was the best of all the productions. Departing from the usual routine of musical comedies, a “real” play was presented and the results were beyond expectations. A more clever play could not have been selected than the Harvard prize play of Frederick Ballard, “Believe Me, Xantippe.” Xo, “Xantippe” is not a human being but the pet saying of George MacFarland, a rich New Yorker. To Wallace' Wemple fell this role. Little need be said concerning his acting ability, for in his two years of dramatics at Bulkeley, he has ranked as the top-notcher for light comedy parts. Along with his appearance and his dry wit, there was that something we call magnetism, which held the audience spell-bound. MacFarland makes a bet with his friend Thornton Brown, that he can commit a crime and escape arrest for the period of one year. 1 his part was taken by Samuel inram, who made the most of this comparatively small role. As tin- skeptical lawyer he left nothing to be desired and with his “I’m from Missouri manner was just the man lor the part. Brown’s friend, Arthur Sole, who is a detective, also takes part in the bet and endeavors to capture MacFarland. Joseph Watterson certainly had a chance to show his ability. Xo one could have looked more like a Sherlock Holmes than he did, for the minute he appeared on the stage, the audience knew he was from Scotland Yard. As a strong upholder ol tlie law, he contributed much to the success of the play. MacFarland almost eludes the police but is captured by the sheriffs daughter in the person of Dolly Kamman. This leading role was taken by Kathleen Pullen who was the hit of the show. Her manner, appearance and voice carried the audience completely and many declared she gave the finest performance of the play. Her father, the sheriff, was driven almost to distraction by her youthful whims. This part of the tolerant father went to Clarence B. Lund. His manner and personality had with it the air of the West and altogether he made the part seem very human. Donald Dunn as the jailor, was the comedian of the show. His scenes with Dolly were the most amusing parts of the play. His crabbedness and crustiness were accentuated by his voice and he kept tin' audience in roars of laughter throughout the performance. To Donald Hetherington fell the burden of two parts. His mterper-tation of MacFarland’s butler and that of the villian Simp Calloway were expertly portrayed. . . Miss Constance Pendleton as Martha with her motherly attitude touched the hearts -of the audience. As Violet, the vamp, Ada Stanton was typical ol the true western type of vamping countrv girl and no one could have played it better. Much of the credit for the success of the play goes to Mr. Pierce, who with his untiring efforts made the show what it was. He was ably assisted by Mr. Xorris who kept the show financially straight. The profits of the show were beyond expectations and it ranks as the foremost dramatic production of the two schools. ]t Reason I T would seem that debating- is not to be a lost art at Bulkeley School. With the advent of Mr. Donner the revival of interests has been startling. Since 1923 there has been a discussion group composed of members of the present Junior Class. This group meets during one of the recess periods for the purpose of discussing the topics of the day in an informal manner. It is interesting to note that this feature of school life is heartily supported by its members and that while it gives' no college credits its meetings are always well attended. A feature of the group consists in the occasional social gatherings which form an enjoyable part of a strictly forensic program. The training received in the discussion group affords a sound basis for the inter-scholastic debating work. The open forum which started in so well seems to have fallen into a decline. However it demonstrated its usefulness on one occasion. With Mr. Underwood presiding the school decided to take part in the Armistice Day Parade. It is pleasing to note that the members of the school did not hesitate to voice their opinions and that a feeling of self-consciousness was entirely absent. Prior to the advent of the debating season the Junior Class presented a debate before the school. The subject read, “Resolved, That Capital Punishment should be Abolished.” Messers. Sheflott and Watterson argued on the affirmative while Henkle and Barry spoke in the defense. Although the reasoning was not as lucid as it might have been the delivery was forceful and convincing. Barry speaking for the negative poured forth a stream of logic and inductive reasoning which together with Hen-kle’s forceful summary turned the scales of victory to the negative. This year only one inter-scholastic debate was participated in. The' management of the debating team had quite a bit of difficulty in arrang- iii”' a suitable schedule. The prestige of the Bulkeley debating team seems to have been noised abroad. The schools approached by the manager either had completed their schedules or were unwilling to compete with the Bulkeley orators. Finally Crosby High School of Waterbury was signed up for March 28. The question for debate was, Resolved, “That the Phillippine Islands should be given their Immediate Independence.” The picking of the three speakers was a long and arduous process. The final result gave us a team composed of veteran speakers, Edward Henkle, ’25, Abram Watchinskv, ’25, and Freeman Elder, ’24, with Thomas Elder as alternate. This trio have all taken part in various forms of public speaking and debating and were qualified to represent Bulkeley on the platform. In preparation for the Crosby debate the members of the team put in long hours of practice under tlu1 coaching of Mr. Donner. The trip to Waterbury was made by the speakers, coach, alternate, and Shugrue, tlu- business manager. The debate was held in the auditorium of the Crosby High School before an audience of 300. The speakers for Crosby were Paul Diederich, Samuel Myers, and Harold Morgan. These debaters argued clearly and concisely, putting all their power into their delivery. On the other hand me Bulkeley team speaking with the earnestness of conviction swayed the audience. However in the rebuttal the real test came and it was here that our team’s long hours of practice came to the fore. The announcing of the vote gave the decision to the Bulkeley debaters by a 3-0 vote. The Crosby team were perfect gentlemen both before and after the debate, doing all in their power to make the New Londoners feel at home. It is hoped that next year a debate can be arranged with Crosby High School at New London. The team deserves a great deal of credit for the debate came at a rather inconvenient time due to the quarterly examinations. However it was due to Mr. Dormer’s experience, forethought, and good judgment that the debate was another Bulkeley victory. THE TEAM ©ehating personnel Mr. Mathew J.

This record in only fair on paper but when one delves into the situation he can find much cause for satisfaction. Under a heavy schedule, we were able to bring out new players of ability, to give the backfield and line a chance to develop speed and particularly team-work, and we also learned how to take a beating. All this experience we hope will culminate in turning out a winning team next year. Our schedule, as arranged by Coach Aldrich and Manager Myers, called for nine games, only three of which were played in New London. The first game, played at home, ended in an unexpected defeat at the hands of New Britain High. But that was the least of our troubles for out of the next three contests in the western part of Connecticut, we were not able to annex a single victory; two defeats and a tie game with Crosby, was our share of the spoils. But the unlucky streak could not last forever accordingly we won our next home game in brilliant style over the strong Torrington outfit. We were defeated by Stamford, even though we outplayed them, on their own field. Then came our big game with X. F. A. at Morgan Field. The whole student body was thrilled by the remarkable' form displayed by the Bulkeley eleven in severely trouncing the upstaters. We split even on the remaining games, being defeated by Springfield Tech, and beating Westerly in the last contest. A rough review of the games follows. After three weeks of hard practice sponsored by Coach Aldrich ( who was aided by Frank Shea) we faced New Britain. The contest was a typical early season game, the back field fumbled frequently and the line proved ineffective. Nevertheless the game was exciting throughout, neither team being able to score in the first half. In the third quarter a fumbled ball was picked up by a New Britain player who ran unmolested from mid-field for a touchdown and victory. Disheartened by the defeat at the hands of a team we thought we could lick we fell before the strong Naugatuck team. We held the champions of 1922 to a 6-6 score in the first half due to a beautiful run by Rice after he had intercepted a pass. But the second half found us again incapable of scoring while the husky Naugatuck team, aided by Wright’s rot-, rolled up thirteen points. There might have been some satisfaction in the fact that we were able to hold the strong Crosby High Team of Waterbury to a 6-6 tie when we consider that Crosby has in the past given Bulkeley an annual beating. Yet in looking over the summary of the contest we find no fruit for satisfaction. Our comparatively light team was able to make 14 first downs against the three made by our opponents who outweighed us 15 pounds to the man. We showed more general knowledge of football than was shown by our opponents and we completed a total of nine passes. Our touchdown came in the second half after a series of runs and passes which ended in l)an-iel s scoring. Sheflott and Conners had the' opposition guessing at all times by their running, squirming dashes through tackle. Our lucky star failed to shine for the fourth consecutive time when we stacked up against the Ansonia aggregation. Ansonia made two well-earned touchdowns which netted them fourteen points while we got the proverbial goose egg. Our most effective weapons was the pass but even this failed to net us a score. Hack home after a disastrous western trip we backfired on lorring-ton High, who had hitherto been undefeated. The playing of the home team was pleasant to watch, the line was invincible, the backfield speedy and the whole team alert. We saved the assistant managers the trouble ol rechalking the lines between our goal and mid-field for we kept the pigskin in enemy territory throughout the contest. Sheflott capped the climax in the third period when he captured the pigskin and eluded the enemy in a dash along the sidelines. Many a favorable comment was heard along the sidelines about the ability of file Bulkeley team. I he Stamford trip was the longest ol the season and the most disastrous. Although the weather appeared to be perfect the playing field was what one would call sloppy. On the very first play a Stamford halfback went around the end on what appeared an easy play to stop, first the end attempted to stop him but he slipped and fell, next the halfback tried to end his run but shared the same fate as his predecessor. As a result te half- back literally walked over our goal line, liven then the Bulkeley team scored 16 first downs to their opponent’s 5, and gained 179 yards as against Stamford’s 64. But even though we outplayed our opponents we were unable to overcome the jinx that hounded us. However we reinstated ourselves the following week when we faced our old opponents X. F. A. at Morgan Park. Before a crowd of 2000 people we administered one of the worst beatings that a Bulkeley team has indicted on the Academy in 50 years of football history between the two rival schools. Rice could not be stopped, he completed one long run after another and scored three touchdowns. Sheflott and Barry each made one, and everybody else did their lull share in the great victory. As a result of the victory, a Norwich fan has offered 5 ,) K) dollars to the Academy team with the stipulation that they must defeat Bulkeley in both baseball and football in 1924. We wish you luck, Norwich, but don’t count to heavily on that offer. The best football team we came up against was the one from Spring-field Technical School which defeated us by the overwhelming score of 26-0. Our best football was displayed in the first half of the game when we outplayed them and held them scoreless. Experience and weight of numbers told on us in the last half during which we were helpless before the onslaught of the Tech. Eleven. The season ended in a game against overwhelming odds. We went over to Westerly to engage in a football game with the high school team; instead of doing so we had to play against the whole city. Numerous disputes arose on the playing field and along the side-lines from beginning to end. The only seniors on the team Kilburne, Lund, and Mahan acquitted themselves well in their last contest under the Orange and Black. The THE SQUAD Bulkeley team played good football all the way but whenever the ball was brought to Westerly’s goal line an official would impose a penalty on us. Under these conditions a score seemed almost impossible but after a series of off-tackle plays Sheflott took the ball over and then kicked the goal. These seven points represent the margin of victory which we think would have been many times as great had the game been played under ordi nary ci rcumstances. Coach Robert Aldrich came to us this fall from Monson Academy, which lost where we reaped the benefit. He got his early football training at Middlebury and afterward coached teams around Vermont. He is a keen student of football and has a good system which has borne fruit. He was aided on the managerial end by Myers who did excellent and conscientious work. Captain Dillon, at center, played a remarkably consistent game. He didn’t make a single costly misplay but on the other hand lie completed many brilliant plays. Jerry has proved himself a worthy Bulkeley captain at all times. The positions to riyrht and left center were occupied by Groton, in the persons of Brown and Gavitt. These two stalwart warriors, playing their first year of organized football, proved to be indispensable cogs of the team. Next year “Buckie” and “Brownie” will be hurling I. N. I. into the ranks of our opponents. Lund and Kilburne held down the tackle positions. They are hard players of the rangy type who bother any man they come up against. The line was completed at the ends by Daniels and Conners. I iHie figured particularly in the passing game at which lie was very adept. His defensive work was also well above par. Conners divided his time between end and quarterback depending upon where he was most needed. Tim is a good all around player and is exceptionally fast. The backfield showed all kinds of pep and speed, especially in Bice and Sheflott. These two players were the best pair ol halfbacks in the entire state. Bice is the dashing, squirming type of player who is best through tackle. Walt is a remarkable punter, averaging at least 40 yards. He and Sheflott accounted for most of the points scored. Sheflott very nearly approaches the ideal lootball player. He is capable ol g'iving the one necessary yard, a fighter from whistle to whistle, and on defense a sure tackier. The fullback position was pretty much divided between Barry and Mahan. They were both dependable, being able to hit the opponents line for a gain or to back up their own line. At quarter back we find bashful Eddie Henkle. the brains of the team. Many is the time that his watchful eyes have spied out a gap in the opposition and scuttled through for the precious yardage. Bated the fastest man on the team, few of our opponents had a chance of breaking through our line for a considerable gain. George Sheflott has been elected captain for the coming year in view of his excellent showing this year. With Sheflott as captain, hern as manager, Mr. Aldrich as coach and nine of the old team still with us, prospects for next year are the brightest Bulkeley ever had.

Edward Mansfield COACH PHILLIPS Cfje Baseball Reason of the year before having graduated with the exception of but two men Bernie Peck and Gus MacDonald, he had to build up a new team around these two men. It did not take the team long to round into shape. In fact, but three days were spent in preparation for the first contest with Norwich Free Academy, Bulkeley’s ancient rival from up the river. The Norwich team came to town confident of victory, but before this team realized what was happening three runs were tallied in first inning followed by nine more in the remaining eight, giving the Orange and Black an even dozen while the visitors were kept away from the plate. In this contest Mansfield, Hutchison, Sheflott, and Daniels were the outstanding performers. On Friday, April 20, Westerly high ball-tossers opposed the Bulkeley nine at Morgan Park. It was the second game of the season and was lost to the visiting team after a belated rally had failed to stave off defeat by the narrowest of margins—one run. After making a good beginning by defeating Norwich in the first contest of the year, this defeat by a 9 to 8 score almost disheartened the team, whose goal was the state championship. Bulkeley played its third game with Plainfield high at home on April 24. In this game the Bulkeley team showed the grit and stamina that characterized the Bulkeley teams. Overcoming a three run lead in the first inning and from that inning on showing an improvement over the previous performance the Orange and Black nine was once again on the knotty problem confronted J. Milton Phillips, our rotund baseball coach when he called out men for the first baseball practice of the year at the Y. M. C. A. gymnasium. His entire championship team right path for the championship of the state. Here again the inner defense of the Bulkeley machine performed at its best handling everything that came its way without a single miscue. Before the game was over the score had mounted to 9 to 4 in Bulkeley’s favor. The following day the good old Bulkeley team engaged in its fourth contest at home since the opening of the season. 1 his time the Stoning-ton High School nine were the locals’ opponents. Here again the Bulkeley team was forced to come up from behind to be declared winneis. But once the batting eyes were sharpened the Stonington boys were lei I in the dust, the final score reading 17 to 5. The Bulkeley batters had a great time of it at the bat and connected with the elusive pill on 19 oc- casions for a total of 34 bases. Then came two disappointments to the Bulkeley camp lor both the Crosby high and the South Kingston teams forfeited games to Bulkeley. On Friday, May 5, the Bulkeley team played out of its class when it met the strong Collegiate Prep team in New Haven. When the wearers of the Orange and Black arrived on the playing field a strange sight confronted them. Instead of a team composed of players about their size, nine old men, literally speaking, were seen cavorting around the field. First the Bulkeley team would be ahead and then, the Collegiate Prep boys, or rather old men, would take the lead. I ntil the last inning the score was deadlocked at 3-all when our girl shy hero Sheflott drew a free pass to first base. Then Mansfield smashed a double into deep center field. Sheflott by some good running made home and not only received a dollar bill from “Phil” but hi' also gave Bulkeley the lead. However this was only for a moment for in the last half of the ninth the Prep lads managed to squeeze two more runs and victory across the platter. Morgan High offered slight opposition at Clinton the following week. Om boys romped away with a four to two victory, the opponents two tallys coming' in tlie first inning as the result of an error. Dickson pitched a beautiful game allowing only three hits and striking out ten men. 1 he old jinx accompanied the nine on its trip to Westerly to play a return game. We found a strong opponent in the umpire who played a star game, nipping off at least five Bulkeley runs. The game had no bearing on the state championship but even then we wanted revenge on Westerly for the game they won in New London. But the gods deemed it otherwise for we got but one run, when Hutchinson knocked Sheflott in. Yet we remember that there are other years coming when we will beat Westerly more than six to one. The real test of whether the Bulkeley nine was capable of filling the shoes vacated by last year’s team came in the game with Hartford Public High. Comparative records gave the capital city boys the shade over our team, even though Bulkeley had yet to lose a title contest. A long rally was held in the auditorium, in which everyone was urged to be present at the big game of the season. The very first inning spelled the outcome of the game. Hartford started right off by finding Daniel’s curves for three hits and one run. Then came a sight which we will all remember long enough to relate to our grandchildren. Bice, lead off man, after fouling twice, shot a clean ball into right that went for three bases; Bernie Peck sent him in with a single; Daniels, not to be outdone, walloped the pill into deep center for three bases after which Sheflott singled, making a total of three big runs. Daniels, pitching superb ball, kept the Hartford ballplayers away from the plate until the last inning of the game when he loosened up to the extent of one run, in order to get home in time for supper. Meanwhile Bernie’s playmates nicked Van Orden for four mon-runs and sixteen hits. Thus the student body of Bulkeley School, the City of Hartford, and the inhabitants of our own fair city, awoke to the fact that we had nine ball tossers who would stand a chance with anything east of the Giants. The rest was a cinch. We met and defeated Stamford High School, champions of eastern New York state for two years, to the tune of 9 to 6. At the same time we overcame a jinx that has been present whenever these two teams meet, and they have been meeting since 1912. Ivrrors and free passes figured largely throughout the contest. Parisi was Bulkeley’s star for he stepped to the box in the eighth with two men on and none out, retired the side and saved the game. Of the following games the one against Norwich Free Academy is perhaps the most interesting. It was a return contest and was of the same nature as the first meeting. Our ancient rivals proved to be setups for the experienced Whaling City athletes. Fifteen hits and eleven runs were garnered from the youthful Segal’s delivery. Rice got three of the hits and four runs while Sheflott offered a double and triple in three trips to the plate. Two minor games now followed, those with Morgan High, a return contest, and Stonington High School. The Morgan High game was a comedy in nine acts. If our opponents had been presented with twenty-five runs they would have just nosed us out. As it was we staged a regular parade around the bases, crossing the plate twenty-five times. The average number of hits per man was three. Rice connected safely six times, got as many runs, and stole as many bases. Five home runs were made, something unheard of heretofor. An uninteresting game was played in Stonington shortly afterwards. The expected happened and Coach Phillips brought back a winner. The season officially closed with the South Manchester game, which we just managed to pull in by a 6 to 5 score. Bulkeley started off with a four run lead but it diminished to nothing by the time the fifth inning came around. Four singles won the contest in the eighth inning and by getting these runs the Bulkeley team put the state championship on ice. The managerial end of the team was ably handled by Curtain, who kept the team on its feet financially. Mr. Phillips gave the school and city one of the things for which he is famous, a championship team. “Hurry-Up” through his personality and achievements has endeared himself to every Bulkeley boy and graduate who has come in contact with him. Sheflott did the brunt of the catching, ending the season with a batting average of .423 and a fielding average of .931. The pitching burden was handled by a trio composed of Daniels, Parisi and Dickson. Daniels had the most effective delivery of all the slabsmen in this part of the state. He also broke an old rule and hit the agate for a goodly number of hits. Captain Bernie Peck was one of the mainstays of the fast infield. He pulled in everything thrown his way that resembled a baseball. We feel confident that our infield is one of the best in the state. At second Barry compiled the best fielding average of the team. Jumping Joe made but two errors while he had 33 putouts and 46 assists chalked up to his credit. Gaetano, a new comer, played shortstop in a highly creditable manner, taking the hottest of the hot in a casual way. Hutchson rounds out the infield at the dizzy corner. Barney walloped the cowhide for an average of .405 and also completed some plays that had the spectators on each others feet. The most remarkable record of the year went to Walt Pice, who got at least one safe hit in every contest played, for a grand average of .516. This average would make an impression in the most exclusive of baseball circles. Pice also fielded brilliantly making no errors in his natural position of left field. In view of this fine showing together with his rare personal charm Walt has been honored with the captaincy of this years team. Centerfield was roamed by no less a person than Gus MacDonald, a natural ball player. Gus distinguished himself in almost every game by pulling some stunt'that contributed toward the final score. Honny Mansfield parked his carcass in right field, and while he was there no apprehension need be felt from that quarter for if he missed it with his glove it must surely fall in his mouth. Honny is the kind to be relied on and a fine addition to any team. The prospects for this year are exceptionally bright as seven of last year’s team are still with us. Up to press time Pice’s Warriors, ably coached by Mr. Aldrich, have turned in six wins and no losses. Under pressure of a terrific batting attack coupled with some brilliant pitching by Daniels, the strongest of teams seem to be weak and another state championship appears to be in sight. f)el$a£2tng §f)0to!

Jfl. 3f. (0rcf)estra HIC orchestra went into training at about the same time as the football team. Mr. Pierce sent out his call for candidates during the first week of school. From the first of the year the ensemble has practiced faith-•ully tor at least an hour and a half each Tuesday and Friday. At first they scraped and tooted with a great desire in their hearts to win the State Championship of High School Orchestra they so nearly obtained last year. Then the annual meet of orchestras failed to materialize. They have attacked new and difficult pieces with a thoroughness that has brought them a considerable degree of success even in such compositions as Beethoven’s hirst and fifth Symphonies, Gounoud’s Damnation of Faust, Schubert’s Unfinished Symphony, and Haydn’s Military Symphony. The orchestra has done more than practice, however. About once a month they have received a fine supper for playing at some function at the hirst Baptist Church. They entered Society for an evening, when they furnished the music at a reception at the Mohican Hotel. Thev became “Odd Fellows” for the duration of an I. O. O. F. banquet in the Odd Fellows Hall in Groton. They produced harmonious sounds at the W. M. I. Alumnae Assembly in Bulkeley Hall. They tried to drown out the noise of crockery at the Boy’s Banquet during the Connecticut Older Boy’s Conference at the Armory. Of course they have also played at assemblies and Bulkeley dramatics. On February 20th, the Bulkeley and W. M. 1. Orchestras made its important public appearance alone. In spite of bad weather, almost two hundred music lovers braved the slush and sleet to attend. Merely to read the programme, was to realize the merit of the music offered. Miss Bitgood is not yet in the same class as Kreisler or Elman, but her execution was sure and her tone pleasing. Parisi chose for his first solo selection one designed to show his technique and versatility. The Schubert Serenade, on the other hand for phrasing and sweetness of tone. Parisi was even more pleasing in this than in the other selection. The piano duet of the Misses Campbell was an admirable bit of four-hand work. The orchestra was a unit rather than a collection of soloists. Their most pretentious number was Beethoven’s First Symphony. Far from being so far beyond their powers as to be painful, the orchestra made it seem almost easy. The Ballet Sylvia and the Evolution of Dixie were the selections the orchestra and the audience enjoyed most. While the season of 1923-24 has given no opportunity for achievements that would be of interest outside New London, the orchestra has done its best, faithfully, and its best is very good. If ever again in this state a meeting is held to decide the championship of High School Orchestras, Bulkeley and W. M. I. will be represented by a group that will be a credit to the schools and the city. ©je sfettibent Council Mr. Homer K. Underwood .................................. President Mr. Clarence E.

JUNIORS DALLY WITH TABLEAUX The junior class of Bulkeley School presented a pageant at the school auditorium last Sunday night. I lie entertainment consisted of a series of tableaux and was entitled “The Triumph of Virtue.’ It traced th • progress of Virtue down through the ages from the Age of Stone to the present day. The presentation was well thought out and well-produced. Probably the most striking figure of the evening was that of Joseph Barry, who enacted the role of Virtue. The young man was garbed entirely in white and held a lily in his hand. Following his appearance, the audience cheered for twenty minutes. Nothing like it has been at Bulkeley School for a long time, and tin junior class deserves a great deal of credit for having thus established a milestone in dramatic art at the institution. The first tableau represented Virtue in the prehistoric days and showed Adam refusing the apple from Kve in the Garden of Eden. The part of Adam was taken by Walter Rice, well known to Bulkeley students. The (Cont. on page 2) Directly upon the heels of the notorious W. M. I. exposure yesterday came the news that all was not well at the social given by the senior class of Bulkeley School last night. It is alleged that the boys misconducted themselves, and several revelations were made today that substantiated all previous rumors. In a statement given out to our reporter, Headmaster Homer K. Underwood said, “Unfortunately the rumors concerning last night s Senior Social are true. The boys conducted themselves badly, and it has been reported to me on good authority that several girls were present, although it was to have been a strictly stag affair. Needless to say, we are now taking measures to punish the offenders and are seriously considering cancelling the Vale-IIarvard crew-race next spring, as a warning to future delinquents.’’ It is not known just how the trouble started. Up to the time of intermission. the boys had been quietly playing “Clap In. Clap Out and “Going to Jerusalem.’’ When the refreshments were being served, a football star was observed taking a second helping of cake. As a result, the Athletic Council has ruled him off the hockey squad for next season. Immediately the students began fill-(Cont. on page 2) 2 THE WAY MODERN YOUTHS CHEW GUM WHILE BATHING SCRANTON, PA. — Hostesses in Scranton this week-end are quite perturbed by the ultra-modern habits of the International Correspondence School alumni, who are holding their annual reunion this week. It is claimed that these up-to-date youths take their gum into the bath with them and chew contentedly as they swab their necks. “I don’t know what the world is coming to!” stated one of the worthy matrons who are entertaining the alumni at their homes during the reunion, “In my days we never chewed gum!” It is reported that the purpose of the reunion this year is to raise an alumni fund for the construction of bigger and better dormitories for the Correspondence School. The present dormitories are pitifully inadequate, and most of the students have to board out of town STUDENTS SCANDALIZE LOCAL SOCIETY; BOYS BEHAVE BADLY (Cont. from page 1) ing their pockets with cookies and icecream. Policeman Ray was called in and managed to quell the wholesale consumption by walking out with the rest of the refreshments, although a storm of howls and hisses rent the air. The next breach of discipline came when several seniors refused to continue bobbing for apples and insisted on playing “Kiss the Pillow” and “Post Office. ’ After a general alarm, the fire department arrived and put them out. Our efficient police department sent up several reserves, and the rest of the program was more or less orderly. After the entertainment some students were observed chewing gum in a down-town candy-kitchen. School officials have their names, and they will be banned from the Mali Jong Team. Detectives working on the case state that they have found several flasks, all empty, in the room used by the Bulkelev Faculty. Headmaster Underwood offers no comment on this last fact. WEATHER FORECAST WASHINGTON April 13—Forecast for southern New England, western North Carolina, northern West Virginia, East New London, and S nth Groton: stormy, beginning June 17 and lasting through exams, unsettled during rest of summer, depending on what mark you get. It will rain in Westerly, that part of the state being all wet, anyway. Snow may be expected any day next winter, and if it doesn’t rain on the Fourth of July, something’s wrong. The merchants expect fair weather at Ocean Beach next summer, but there is no telling what they will get. Outlook for vicinity favorable, unless the City Council finally does get a police-woman.

Much credit is due Mr. Fiank HAM-len of the Bulkeley Faculty, who wrote the production and coached the students in their various parts. WISE OR OTHERWISE by HenR. Kshenfelder As soon as we started to fondle our well-known Corona, the thought (Cont. on page 3) THE WAY 3 WISE OR OTHERWISE (Cont. from page 2) flashed through our adamantine (see Mr. Tovvne) head that perhaps this colyum might be more justly entitled “Not So Wise.” So, with the usual apologies to the reader and everybody else, we commence our heinous career, murdering the English language with a light heart, and making as many cracks about the Faculty as we think we can get away with. Mr. Wimple, Chairman of the Bulkeley Annual Board, lias instructed us to remind you that each and every copy of the Bulkeley Annual that we are giving away for one dollar and a half costs the Board six dollars to publish. Therefore order your copies now, so that you will have plenty of time to figure out how to spend the four dollars and a half profit you make. The Society lor the Enlightenment of an Inquiring World is trying to find out just who does get that four dollars and a half, but in the meantime we are keeping our eyes on Mr. Wimple. While we are on familiar subjects, let us pause to say that there is no truth in the report that the Paramount Pictures Corporation has a scout down at the Coast Guard Academy looking for future star material. Even if they are seeking to replace Valentino, they should realize that Moke Lubchansky goes to Bulkeley. Neither is there any truth in the report that Mr. Frank Hamlen, late of Bates, was seen roaring drunk on State Street about 11 o clock last night. It was Bank Street. Perhaps the students at Bulkeley don’t appreciate what a genius they are harboring in their midst. You may talk about what a wonderful sleuth Izzy Einstein is, but please don’t overlook our own Izzy. He gets his man every time, what we mean! Incidentally we hear that the Hotel Royal is looking for a house detective. POME (First and last) A man we love Is M.

WIFE SLAYER CONFESSES TO CRIME QUAKER HILL, April 13—Harold Greenblatt, noted bigamist, broke down in the district attorney s office late last night and confessed to the slaying of Emma Haupfberg, his sixteen-year-old girl bride. Greenblatt, or the “Wolf of Bank Street as he is called by his business associates, wrote out a complete confession of the dastardly deed. In extenuation of the crime he is reported to have stated, “I couldn’t stand it any longer; she wanted me to buy her this and buy her that and buy her everything she saw. Her extravagance was ruining me.’’ The body of the young bride was found crushed in a trunk in the sumptuous Jersey love-nest that the banker had furnished for his wife. Her head was found by Police-Sergeant Falconer in a swamp several hundred yards away from the scene of the crime. Legs and arms littered the richly-furnished drawing-room of the Hoboken cottage, and, although Detectives Cook and Donner from the Central Office unearthed some important clues, the case remained a baffling mystery until the Greenblatt confession to-day. Greenblatt is well-known in the social and financial worlds. He will plead insanity when his case comes before the court, and those who know him say that he will be acquitted, lie has already served two other prison sentences, both times for bigamy. SCHOOL ORCHESTRA PLAYS PEPPY PIECES I lie Combined and Amalgamated Bulkeley and Williams Memorial Institute Orchestra gave a concert last Thursday evening at about 11 o’clock. Dr. Oscar Pierce directed the massacre, and very few in the audience escaped with unmutilated eardrums. Passers by in the street outside the hall where the holocaust took place turned in a riot call unthinkingly, but unfortunately the program was concluded before the police arrived at the scene of carnage. Despite the defective acoustics of the school auditorium, the orchestra did its best and mowed ’em down by the hundreds. The program was selected with painful care and was presented with malice aforethought. The first number was “She’s the Kind of a Girl That Men Forget’ and this was executed with promptitude and dispatch. Members of the audience said afterwards that executed was no woid for it. As an encore the orchestra played “Yes, We Have No Bananas. This touching lament was very effective in clearing the hall of many of the remaining spectators. The next number was a dance specialty by the versatile Mr. Ernest Falconer; it was entitled An Impression of the late Sherlock Holmes.’ Mr. Falconer out-did himself in this bit of terpsichorean art; it was unforunate that the rest of the audience did not stay to see the finish of his act. THE WAY 5 COMET SCHEDULED TO STRIKE EARTH. END IS PROPHESIED WASHINGTON April 13—The end of the world is at hand! According to Madame X., the noted prophetess, a large, unknown celestial body is scheduled to strike the world some time between 3:47 next Sunday morning and Starr Brothers Drugstore (Advt.) This heavenly visitor will probably be in the form of a comet of hitherto undreamed-of magnitude, and it will scatter destruction and devastation in its wake. Whole continents will be wiped out by the force of its impact, and entire races will be consumed by its poisonous vapors if they survive the shock of collision. There is no cause for alarm, however, as the end will come so suddenly that death will be painless and instantaneous. Madame X guarantees this and will refund your money if you are not satisfied. For the past four months scientists have been observing mysterious disturbances in the neighborhood of Aqua Regia, a star of the first magnitude, and it is generally believed that the unexpected comet is the cause of all the sun spots of the last three weeks. Static has been frequent oi late, due to the presence of some foreign body; these manifestations in the heavens seem to point out that a large mass is headed directly this way under incredible speed. The State Police have been warned and are ready to enforce the regulations of the road, but it is feared that the comet will disregard their orders and strike the earth anyway, probably in the neighbor hood of Ye An- tientest Burying Grounds. As strange phenomena have been observed in that cemetery since last spring, perhaps there is some ground for fear after all. It will be remembered that Madame X prophesied the Russian revolution, the World War, the Japanese earthquake, and the notorious Green-blatt hammer murder. She also prophesied the end of the world for June 8, 1907 and February 26, 1911, but it rained on both those days and the event had to be called off. Tex Rickard is promoting the affair this time, and temporary grandstands are in the process of construction around the Burying Ground. Here one may buy a front seat for the end of the world for only $250. The entire performance is to be broadcasted over the radio from the time the comet comes into view until the moment of its impact with the ground. The promoters guarantee nothing after that, inasmuch as comets are rather difficult to handle. Mr. Aldrich, of the Bulkeley faculty, will attempt to capture the comet, however, by putting salt on its tail. This is something new to science, and it has not been attempted for the last twenty years at least. Professor Lawrence, head of the Science Department at Bulkeley, stated in an interview yesterday that he did not believe that the reaction would go to completion, as the last comet he examined was thoroughly ionized from head to.-er, foot. nr—n ii—ii ii—ii i r-i c n ft r— ir—n ir—ri —idd Front Seats For ] END OF WORLD [ GET YOUR TICKETS NOW [ TEX RICKARD. Promoter N. L. CHAMBER OF COMMERCE 6 THE WAY ELINOR GLYN CALLS END OF WORLD BUNK! NORWICH, CONN. April 13- In an interview given out late last night, Elinor Glyn, notorious authoress, stated without reservation that she thought the end of the world was not due for several more centuries yet, and that the comet scheduled to blast the earth to pieces existed only in the minds of ignorant people who had not read her books. “The past has been full of similar instances,” she went on to state. “I remember in 1832, when I was a young girl, there was an end-of-t he- world scare, it took me a long time to convince my credulous parents that the whole thing was a newspaper story foisted upon the simple minds of the yokel peasantry merely to make more tainted money for Wall Street.” At this point she pulled out a little red llag and waved it around vigoiously. No, ’ she concluded, “this comet business is the bunk, or, as we say in England, ‘It’s all applesauce’.” Miss Glyn is in Norwich looking for her husband, who is alleged to have deserted her after reading “Six Days,” one of her most popular books. Her husband’s name before his marriage was George Cohen, but that isn't what Miss Glyn called him when speaking of him to the reporter. Cohen has been missing for three weeks, and Miss Glyn wants to make sure he's dead before she marries again. Or, as she quaintly put it, “I've been up for bigamy befoie.’ EDITORIAL The Honor System We, as a leading periodical and a moulder of public opinion, are heartily in favor of the Honor System for secondary schools. As a member of the student body of one of those secondary schools, we are still more heartily in favor of it. And when we seat ourself in an examination room with our pockets and various parts of our clothing stuffed with cribs, then is the time we pray that some day the Faculty will install the Honor System in Bulkeley. We’ll never forget the time we absent-mindedly pulled off our sweater in an English exam and helplessly watched all our carefully written and prepared dates and definitions go fluttering all over the room— With the Honor System there would have been no supervising instructor present to grap us by the ear and hurry us to the office and judgment. Under the Honor System we would not have used cribs anyway. Just a seat near Pete Boras and--------what have you eyes and ears and a mouth for? Of course we are in favor of the Honor System. It is a fact, however, that whenever the Honor System is installed in a school, the scholarship and marks of that school advance by leaps and bounds until even the stupidest pupil is achieveing perfectly astounding grades. If that isn’t a point in its favor, we’d like to hear one. At any rate, give us the Honor System at Bulkeley and we guarantee to pass Math. NOTICE!
