What difficulty we would have in making the present Freshmen believe that these fearless and intrepid Seniors ever approached the school with their hearts in their throats and their neckties in their pockets. That is about all we remember of our first year, the mad lust of the Seniors for our neckties. We entered upon our second year with abnormally enlarged craniums, a malady peculiar to Sophomores, and it took all year for the teachers and upper classmen to reduce them to natural proportions. We had one distinction that year which was very unusual, especially for a sophomore class. We had no president. However, it was not done for publicity, it was merely an example of our as yet undeveloped managing ability. One of the prominent activities of that year was the school's participation in the Armistice Day parade. Do you remember it? The class of 1926 turned out almost one hundred per cent. It was in this same year that “the mighty Julius fell, and the sheeted dead did squeak and gibber in the Roman streets,” for the class presented in the assembly a portion of that famous Shakespearian drama, “Julius Caesar,” to the amusement of all concerned. We only regret that the audience did not get the full benefit of Joe Cowhey's acting. In our Junior year, we began to show what we were made of. Originality was our strong point. The Junior Review, now a school institution, embarked merrily upon its career. Any bursts of genius that may be found in this book received their preparation by practice afforded by that paper. It might be well to note that its chief point of originality was that it was a school paper published at a profit. As a word of explanation to any who might be curious, the proceeds constituted a Junior English prize. Of course, the Junior Prom is always the shining light in the social life of a class, and to put it loyally, ours was the best ever. But so many of our members attend school dances that it is hard to remember which dance was which. Like the college board exams, we have the senior year to sum up our high school life. What makes up a school program? Athletics, dramatics, music and studies. The senior class has been well represented on the gridiron with more than one shining light. This year’s baseball team has a pitcher of the first magnitude. Our superiority in dramatics is not to be questioned. We have a perfect villain, and another star who could play Charlie’s Aunt to perfection. The orchestra just wouldn’t be an orchestra without Bob McCraw, our sole representative. After all, we go to school primarily to study, and so we are especially proud of our numerous dreadnaughts in that phase of school life. Some of our math sharks are so far advanced that they can add up figures looking backwards. With all these accomplishments, the class of 1926 is worthy of a bright spot in the history of Bulkeley School, but like all great men, only time will tell. CLASS PROPHECY S the rays of Old Sol shone resplendent upon the Great White Way of that once famous Whaling City, New London, the grinding of brakes rent the still air, and we gazed upon our fair city for the first time in twenty years. Yes, we had struck it rich and had decided to visit our old home town and the remain- ing classmates of ’26. The street was flooded with the name of our old classmates, and the first sight that our sore eyes met was the large barbershop, on the station corner, owned by Gipstein 6? Gershowitz, Inc. Their hair-business was certainly growing. Joe Gitlin appeared around the corner selling second-hand shirts and socks, and he told us how Levinson fs? Co. had gone bankrupt in the radio business when Benny had an argument over seven or eleven. We then hailed a taxi, and none other was at the wheel than our old friend, Brusa. Yes, he had achieved his ambition. He drove us to Sokol’s Flat Iron Building, and on the way we passed a huge, electric sign, in front of a new theatre, announcing the opening of, “Cinderella Finds Her Prince,” featuring Harry Einhorn and Betty Bronson. Poor fellow! Too bad he was kicked out of the Academie Francaise. That wizard of the tennis courts, “Way” Mansfield, was also featured in Pathe News in an exhibition match with Bill Tilden, IV. We reached our destination and bade Brusa farewell. We were amazed at the success our classmates had attained. “Ask Kinmonth, the Attorney, adorned the first door we passed, while Schinman’s Bowling Alleys were advertised as, “One Flight Down.” We then passed into the ballroom of this spacious building, and there Shurt's Collegians and Swanson's Olympians were having a battle of music, and it sounded to us like-----a draw. A huge explosion rocked the building and a dishevelled man, our old friend, Battles, came dashing down the stairs crying, Eureka, I have it.’ Poor fellow! He had been trying for fourteen years to manufacture artificial eggs using the H,S formula. We next dropped into the office of Hickey, the cartoonist, made famous by his “Nina and Percy” sketches, for a chat. We also called on our old friend, Dreyfus, of the firm Dreyfus, Dreyfus fs? Dreyfus. He was now a famed criminal lawyer, and he had just arrived home from an evolution trial down in Dayton, Tennessee. He gave us his opinion on “Modern Divorces,” and he seemed to know what he was talking about this time. We then adjourned to Byles’ Undertaking Parlors, where we were royally entertained by Eshenfelder and Cooper in a comedy skit called “Applesauce. Jazz Mac-Kay’s Symphonians, featuring that “king of the ivories,' furnished us with rhythm, over radio, from Radio Station WMI. The stimulants were furnished by Rye Briggs, the well-known “bootleg” soda king. This pleasant gathering broke up with the singing of the popular song hit, by the Dreadful Four, Eshenfelder, Cooper, Howe and Schwartz, How Long Is a Chinaman? LAURENCE H. WILSON ( La ) Pin Committee (1): Potpourri (2) (3) (4); Stage Manager. “Believe Me, Xantippe (2); Stage Manager, ‘‘Come Out of the Kitchen” (2); Business Manager, “Regiment of Two” (3); Business Manager, “The Whole Town’s Talking (4); Manager Dramatic Club (4), Biology Club (4); Ring Committee (3); Art Editor of Annual (4); Football (3) (4); Class President (4); Junior Review (3); Assistant Baseball Man-ager (4); Track. (3); “The Hautical Knot”; “Whole Town’s Talking”; Basketball Squad (3); Commercial Course. Macedonia had her Alexander: England, her Alfred; and we, “La Wilson. La is so well liked and able that no matter how hard we endeavor, it is impossible to describe him justly, so let us just say that without him the Senior Class would be a ship— noble, it is true—but a ship without a master at her helm. Bulkeley Annual 19 9.6 a- L' -:1 'r� 11 jf C ? ■ • ’ ... i 11 ■ Jls r - ■� '‘i!.i .. 3- 532 3 � : : JAMES H. ALLYN ( Jim ) Class Day Committee (4): Junior Review (3); Annual Board (Editor-in-chief) (4): Radio Club (4); Dramatic Club (4); The Man Without a Head ' (4); Potpourri Committee (4); Classical Course. Brains and ability are Jim’s main characteristics— pretty good ones, we say. The way that Jim took hold of the Annual Board to whip it into shape may he seen in the book itself. His scholastic ability needs no praise for it speaks for itself. So let’s say that he is going over big and let him alone. DONALD H. BATTLES ( Bat ) Julius Caesar (3); Junior Review (Editor-in-Chief) (3); Annual Board (4); Radio Club (Treasurer) (4); Classical Course. It doesn't seem possible that such a great amount of brains could occupy such a small place, but then, good things usually come in small packages. When “Don sets out to do a thing, nothing under the sun can stop him. (N. B.: This is the cattish little thing that wrote Barney's biography). CHARLES BRIGGS (“Pat ) Class Baseball (1) (2) (3); Basketball (1); Tracks (3). Pat delights in mimeograph machines. Just before exams Pat is especially popular, but then, he is always popular. You can tell Pat a mile off by his grin. He even smiles when he is playing baseball (classical), and that is saying something. LESTER J. BROWN ( Let ) Class Baseball (1) (2) (3); Classical Course. You might think Let stands for “let well enough alone, but such is not the case. He has even been known to have stuck his nose in a French book on occasions. They sometimes call him “Nut, but it is only in reference to his relation with the “nut brown maiden; Let” is nobody’s fool. JBulkeley Annual 19 26 'A o,i jrt --s = 3 - jiSC - BULKELEY ARMANDO L. BRUSA ( Bruse ) Pin Committee (1): “Julius Caesar'' (3); Junior Review (3); Class Baseball (2); Classical Course. Lo and behold! in our midst we have a stranger. He hails from the great open spaces, Poquiogh, the land of men (also of women and children). In spite of Bulkeley's good training, Brusa's savage nature often reveals itself when Einhorn appears. We know for a fact, though, that time tames even the wildest man. GEORGE H. BYLES (“Hun”) Classical Course. Hun's silence and dignified manner will make him a fine candidate for filling his father's shoes and undertaking the task of undertaking. If silence denotes a pensive man, then Hun is an ultra thinker. FERRIN CALLAHAN (“Fel ) Potpourri (4); Commercial Course. Here's a man that Ireland can be proud of. Fel doesn't have to shout his ability around the school. His quiet ways and fine ability speak for themselves. Fel's spellbinding strains did much toward bringing home the bacon in the Potpourri. JOSEPH W. CLARK (“Joey ) Radio Club (2) (3); Biology Club (4); Classical Course. Ladies and gentlemen, the character in this cell is a detriment to the historical welfare of the country. It has never been quite clear in Joey's mind whether Columbus crossed the Delaware or the Pacific Ocean. But he does know that W. M. I. is on Broad Street and that Mr. Pasquale uses no discretion in handing out demerits. But then Joey is of a good sort. .Bulkeley Annual, 19 26 Si V EDWARD P. COLLINS (“Eddie ) Football (2) (3) (4): Baseball (2) (3) (4); Class Baseball (1) (2); Basketball (3); Committee on Regiment of Two” (3); Potpourri (4); Committee on Junior Play (3); Committee on Senior Hop (4); Classical Course. Take notice, ye college football coaches, for here’s a man headed straight for the All-American team. Eddie's real purpose in attending school has never been quite clear to us, but we believe that it is for the sole purpose of becoming an athlete. Boasting is an institution that Eddie never indulges in; he figures that actions speak louder than words. EDWARD R. COMSTOCK (“Cummy ) Class Baseball (2) (3): Annual Board (4); Radio Club (Secretary) (4); Scientific Course. Wipe that grin off your face, “Cummy, and let the people see what you look like. Never mind him, kind readers, he always was shy, and modesty delights in seeking cover. But seriously, Cummy is a real hero, for in 1924 he sacrificed his collar bone to his Alma Mater, and football. And between you and me, Cummy hits everything as hard as he hit the line in that fatal game. RAYMOND R. COOPER ( Ray”) Classical Course. Who said that Ray’s initials, R. R., stand for railroad? There is an old saying that if your initials spell something, you will be lucky. If that is the case, Ray may sometime be president of the C. V. If he does, we will all remember him on boat-race day. JOSEPH L. COWHEY (“Hump ) Basketball Squad (3): Class Treasurer (3) (4); Junior Prom Committee (3): Junior Play Committee (3); Budget Committee (4); Junior Ring Committee (3); Julius Caesar” (}); Senior Hop Committee (4); Potpourri (4); Football (4); Classical Course. Ah! What have we here—a budding politician, with as wicked a line as ever landed a sucker. There's been a great deal of scandal about the mysterious letters that Hump” has been receiving from Leominster. Looks bad, Joe. Oh yes! Hump has played football, too. Of course he earned his letter: do you think that Joe would work all season and not get what he tried for, that’s not Joe. BulkeleyAnnuad I r i a sz _ A) 19 Q 6 ! •. - i'll! Jf £ . 5 5 £ � GEORGE S. CRAWFORD (“Lanky ) Class Basketball (1); Class Baseball (1) (2) (3); Baseball (3) (4); Classical Course. “Lanky should have been christened “Longfel' low both because of his height and fine record, but to make a long story short, we all agree that the longer Lanky is with us the better we like him. ERNEST L. DECKER (“Deacon ) Class Baseball (1) (2) (3); Trac (3). In school we find “Deacon” quiet and dignified, but away from school we find him—different. You never can tell what those unassuming fellows are thinking about. But joking put aside, “Deac” knows his “eggs when it comes to track matters. JAMES P. DEMPSEY ( Jim ) Class President (1) (2); Class Baseball (1) (2) (3); Budget Committee (4); Junior Ring Committee (3); Classical Course. What Ho, old Deah! 'Tis the Prince that approaches. All he needs is a monocle. Jim is noted for his exact dress, his endless search for pleasure and his scholastic ability. But, in spite of this, Mont-ville will be proud of Jimmie some day. MERRILL DREYFUS ( Barney ) Potpourri (1) (2) (3) (4): Annual Board (2) (3) (4); Business Manager (4); Assistant Manager, Honor Bright (3): Advertising Manager, The Whole Town's Tallying” (4); Assistant Manager Baseball (3); Manager Football (4); Debating Team (1) (2) (3); Council (3); Dramatic Club (1) (4); Junior Prom Committee (3); Latin Prize (2); Advertising Manager, Regiment of Two” (3); Julius “Caesar” (3); “Editor of Junior Review (3); Classical Course. From the appearance of the list of activities above, you might think that “Barney” was of quite some importance, but we know him better. The dear, little boy seems to have the knack of managing nearly everything. The funniest thing about “Barney” is his girlish giggle. Bulkeley Annual 19 26 'I: O � i'- ©‘I v M HARRY EINHORN (“High Hat ) Classical Course; Potpourri (1) (2) (3) (4); “Regiment of Two (3); The Weasel” (3); The End of the Rope (4); President of the Dramatic Club (4). It's really surprising what a city like Leominster can do to a formerly shrinking-violet type of youth. Behold now, the result! In the next padded cell, beloved populace, the President of the Dramatic Club, the arduous lover on and off the stage, and the great bulging chest and head of our demure (?) lounge lizard! “Darby, or rather, “High Hat, is noted for three things: his susceptibility to the Siren of Groton, his mutual dislike of cans, and his marvelous acting of a leading part in The Poor Nut. ANGELO GADA (“Alligada ) Scientific Course. Niantic must be a fine place to live in because Gada always has a grin on his face. Although he is called Angelo now, his name in the next world will be O'Angel. However, do not be deceived by this appellation, for he is a perfect devil with the ladies. JOSEPH D. GAETANO (“Joe ) Baseball (1) (2) (3) (4); Junior Prom Committee; Editor of Junior Review (3); Commercial Course. Babe Ruth had better watch his P's and Q's when Joe starts in. His brilliant work on Bulkeley’s nine has won a high place in our esteem. We are sure that the only thing Joe enjoys better than smashing the “horsehide is attending the sixth period History class. NORMAN A. GEORGE (“Norm ) Classical Course. Quiet and unassuming? Yes! But charged with sound knowledge that makes those who know him respect him. That's Norm through and through. He wiggles such a pair of loose-jointed feet in Math that we are sure he is a Charleston hound shark, or some kind of a bird. BULKELEY SAUL GERSHOWITZ ( Gertie ) Classical Course. Gertie took a trip to New York a while ago, and as a result was not seen in school for a few days. Let this be a warning to you, O butterflies of society, for the “Big City is a wicked, wicked place. LOUIS GIPSTEIN ( Gabby ) Classical Course. A man at the very pinnacle of knowledge—ready to fall off. One of these days, Gabby is going to take William J. Bryan’s place in Congress. Louie has been suspected of socialistic instincts, but, then, who wouldn't turn radical with all the fellows “pick-ing on him? JOSEPH D. GITLIN ( Yosef ) Debating Squad (2); Biology Club (4); Scientific Course. It has been said that Yosef’s continual tardiness is due to the way in which he dresses, but then tardiness at social affairs and a neat appearance denotes aristocracy. Joe’s one delight is to attend Chem class, where Mr. Laurence's sonorous voice soon lulls him into the realm of Morpheus. JOHN B. GRAY Classical Course. Johnny is the kind of fellow you can never get anything on. Just a regular guy, you know. But we often wonder why he insists on strolling by the Mystic Oral School in the presence of a certain young lady, whose name we refuse to disclose. RALPH GREENE Commercial Course Gentle Reader, do not be deceived. Ralph's surname has not the slightest connection with his character. On the contrary, we find him anything but “green.” Ralph generally knows what he is talking about when he says anything. He is always ready to give a fellow a helping hand. MAURICE HENDEL (“Moish ) Orchestra (1); Debating Squad (1); “Regiment of Two” (3); ' Weasel'’ (3); Potpourri (3) (4); Vice President Dramatic Club (4); “Whole Town’s Talking ; Scientific Course. “Isn't that gentleman the famous actor, Mr. Mcighan? asked an interested lady. Naw,” said Gipstein, “he's neither of those; he’s 'Moish'. Maurice is the sort of fellow that production managers are looking for. His dramatic ability ranks among the first in the school. JOHN S. HICKEY (“Hick ) Pin Committee (I); Julius Caesar (3); Annual Board (4). They call him Hick, but do not run away with false impressions, for John is anything but a hick. He is one of those likables in whom one is willing to place his confidence. His literary ability and humor was sufficient to place him on the Annual Board. HARRIS HOWE ( Deacon ) Committee for Charles B. Jennings Memorial (3); Classical Course. They call him Deacon, but—well, we'll let the W. M. I. misses tell us how those magnificent curls of his entice them. Harris is a good boy, and we are sure that in due time he will contradict that adage concerning the wildness of ministers' sons, and make something really worth while of himself. BULKELEY HYMAN ITZKOWITZ (“Hymie ) Class Baseball (2) (3); Baseball (3) (4); Classical Course. Hymie is another of the fellows who occupy “Pullman seats in sixth period History class. When a fellow's marks soar toward the blue, and he himself is well liked, what more is there to say? GEORGE E. KINMONTH (“Kimmie ) Classical Course. Wal, by heck, a man from the old home town, amid the farmyards and clamshells. Kimmie's one joy is realized when he corrects Math papers. Everybody likes Kimmie, but not on account of the Math papers. His blue eyes and crinkly blonde hair must play havoc with the Mystic girls' hearts. WILLIAM KIP (“Van ) Editor in Chief, Junior Review (3); Tennis Team (2) (3) (4); Budget Committee (4); Radio Club (4). Here's a man! Every corner of his rectangular dome chuckful of fine ideas. We often wondered how Van can be so popular at both Bulkeley and W. M. I., and at the same time keep his marks above par. MILTON KOSOWSKY (“Mashie ) Debating Squad (1) (2); Biology Club (3) (4); Classical Course. Mashie’s silver tongue and extensive vocabulary should, in some future time, help him toward attaining a position as a buttonhole salesman for a reliable concern. lBulkeleyAnnual ,,, ..... JACOB KURLANSIK ( Jake ) Commercial Course. “Jake is a terribly busy man. Whenever we see him he is dashing around recklessly. There must be some reason for his hurry. We are told by reliable authorities that he wields a wicked brush. We mean paint, not hair. BENJAMIN A. LEVINSON ( Bennah ) Potpourri (4); Classical Course. Bennah is one of the shining lights in Math. He even makes Mr. Pierce laugh. Room 10 must be his, for it's also his favorite battling ground. The way he pitches into Gipstein is enough to make even Gabby concerned. But he will get his just deserts someday, if everything that Gabby says comes true. ROBERT McCRACKEN ( Mac ) Commercial Course. You've heard of Dan McGrew! Well, this gentle-man's name is McCracken. His ambition, so we've been told, is to become a cow puncher and ride the plains of Groton. (On a horse, of course.) ROBERT McCRAW (“Mac ) Orchestra (1) (2) (3) (4): Junior Prom Committee; The Regiment of Two Committee; Football Squad (4); Junior Play Committee; Scientific Course; Bulk_eley Serenaders. Nero fiddled while Rome burned, but seeing that he wasn’t Scotch and that Mac” didn't live in those days, Bob will have to confine his talent to Bulkeley, and between you and me, we're darn (stronger words are barred) glad of it. But never mind, Mac, we'll burn New London some day so that you'll get hunk with Nero. Bulkeley Annual; 1 9 9 NiM t“i.nr i MARTIN McCUE ( Bill, “Mac”) Class Baseball (1) (2); Julius Caesar” (3); Regiment of Two” (3); Baseball Squad (3); Football (4); Budget Committee (4); Sport Editor (4); Potpourri (4); Classical Course. All right, Hercules, reveal your grinning phis” to the multitude. At a boy! Who would ever think that this was the face of a soldier, so young and gentle! But Irish blood and murder are bound to reveal themselves. But in spite of this, “Mac sure slings a wicked pig skin. So let's hope that some day he will sign his check with a General. HUGH MacKAY (“Mucka ) Class Baseball (2); Potpourri (4), Radio Club (4); Bul eley Serenaders (4); Scientific Course. Among us we have a musician of well known ability. Mucka at the piano was the shining light of the Bulkeley Serenaders. In a few years we expect ,• to hear him over the radio, with “Nina as his favorite encore. As Schwartz said of his get-up in the Potpourri, “Wee sleekit, cow'rin , tim'rous beastie, oh, what a panic with thy kilties! WAYLAND MANSFIELD ( Wales ) Annual Board (2) (3) (4); Photographic Editor (4); Tennis Team (2) (3); Junior Review (3). A dimple in the chin; a devil within. That can hardly apply to ' Wales. We can see him now with those dark lashes of his resting on that “skin you love to touch in profound slumber during the third period. But on the tennis court—WOW! Tilden, watch out. PETER MARIANO (“Pete ) Class Baseball (2) (3); Commercial Course. Pete has always stayed in the background as far as social activities go. You see, he lives back in the wilds of Waterford, and that probably accounts for that. But as for his academic standing, ask any commercial. Bulkeley Annual : L- t f r sz —r - 3 l n 9 9 ■ 11; JJ H. REES MITCHELL (“Mitch ) Potpourri (4): Dramatic Club (4); Scienti ic Course. Rees surely does like to come to school once in a while. And how he can twang those banjo strings! Well, he really did attend classes when he wasn't in Florida. His name may not be “Ike, but the way he makes that Ford go is a marvel. GINO MONTALI (“Gene ) Basketball (1) (2); Baseball (1) (2) (3) (4); Commercial Course. Gene's good right arm was the mainstay of this year's baseball team. He’s the one who can put it across. We bet he will make a lot of dough! JAMES P. MORAN (“Jim ) Pin Committee (1); Class Secretary (3) (4); Junior Prom Committee (3); Ring Committee (3); Classical Course. We must take off our hats to “Jim” for his wonderfully fluent translations of French. “Jim” has been on nearly all the committees ever formed. This is due to his good, plain, common sense. Stop laughing, we're serious. EDWARD B. MORGAN (“J. P.“) Radio Club (I) (4); Ring Committee (1); Orchestra (1) (2); Potpourri (4); Annual Board (1) (2) (3); Dramatic Club (2); Scientific Course. J. P. is an explorer, a scientist, and optimist, for he rejuvenated a tin-can, rode many miles in it, and says that he will travel many more miles in his flivver. Eddie’s interest is divided between the college and Bulkeley (the proportion is uncertain). One of these days Ed is going to graduate and fool everybody, so here's good luck to you. Old Man. .Bulkeley Annual, -19.Q6_., 5S3 Sr • f'V . .. - • ;i JASPER MURPHY ( Muffi ) Scientific Course. The call of the wild personified. Look at it! Muffi resides in Noank amid the aromas of wild flowers and fish. Jasper is a real American and doesn't care who knows it, and on top of that he's a ripping good fellow. ROLAND MURPHY (“Spud ) Commercial Course. Everyone has heard Spud, even if they have never seen him. Jim Marion has said that on certain days, long after school has closed, the echoes of his voice may still be heard in Room 4. But he certainly seems capable of keeping up with the fair sex. THOMAS N. MURRAY ( T. N. T„” Tom ) “Merchant of Venice” (2): Class Baseball (2) (3); Classical Course. T. N. T. stands for Taint No Trouble to help a fellow out. That's Tom's expression, and believe me he makes good. Tom is popular, cheerful, and Irish, so what more can we say in his favor? HARRY W. NELSON ( Socrates ) Merchant of Venice” (2); Julius Caesar”; Junior Review (3); Dramatic Editor (4); Potpourri (4); Dramatic Club (4); Man Without a Head” (4); English Prize (3); Second, History Prize (3); Classical Course. Groton has something to be proud of in the form of Harry. His literary ability has earned him the respect of the students as well as of the teachers. We wonder what he does in Groton to pass away the time? That's nobody's business. Here's to our future author (or dramatist)! Bulkeley Annual: r.v 19 Q 6 _ 'EM'V 11 i.t ;- -� ti FRANK H. NORMAN Merchant of Venice” (2); Potpourri (2); Radio Club (3) (4): President Radio Club (4). It was Frank who said that Math papers are the best for a furnace fire. If they had a degree of B. J. (Bachelor of Janitorship) at Bulkeley, Frank would probably pass it summa cum laude, for it was not his fault that Room 7 was cold on Monday mornings. BENJAMIN NOVITCH (“Benny”) “Julius Caesar” (3): “Merchant of Venice” (2); Classical Course. Ben comes from Waterford, the land of sunshine and open fields, sandy shores and babbling brooks, low tax rates, a fire engine and a town court. (No, this is not a real estate advertisement. This is simply an explanation why Benny is so good-natured.) There are rumors that he will open a branch haberdashery in Cohanzie soon. FRANCIS P. O’GRADY ( Red ) Class Baseball (1) (2) (3); Basketball (1): Commercial Course. Yes, Red is still with us and is still hanging on. When worse comes to worse, you’ll find Red willing and able. Yes, and he dances, quite well, in fact, and, of course, needless to say, he’s there with the ladies. EDWARD L. OLSEN (“Ed’’) Track Team (1) (3); Class Baseball (1) (2) (3): Baseball (3) (4); Orchestra (2); Commercial Course. Behold this bespectacled hero who delights in burning up the cinder paths. Mercury hasn’t got anything on Ed. Nurmi should well be afraid of his “rep with such a man at large. That isn’t palm-olive, he’s just blushing. BULKELEY 3ulkeley Annual;! 19 26 „•, . ODDIE T. OLSEN ( Swede' ) Orchestra (2) (3); Class Baseball (2) (3); Commercial Course. Swede's just another quiet, unassuming chap, but what underlies that manly countenance? Yes, that's the question. He is quite a stepper and wields a mean bow. Swede well deserves all he gets. TIMOTHY O'NEILL ( Tim ) Commercial Course. You have all seen a long, lean, lank figure walking around the school with his head down. Well, that's Tim. He has no need to keep his head down; we all wish we could be in his class. Tim is the perfect commercial student, and a prince of a fellow when you know him. RICHARD F. PRENTIS ( D.ck ) Merchant of Venice (2); Potpourri (3); Regiment of Two (3); Man Without a Head (4); Dramatic Club (4); Stage Manager. Whole Town's Talking (4); Classical Course. We might say that this was Einhorn's only rival on the stage, if Einhorn could believe he had a rival. Dick was a Venetian merchant, or a man without a head. If you read the list of activities above, do not be deceived that those are the plays that he put across, for Dick has a head just like other people. LAWRENCE RASIE ( Brass ) Commercial Course. Please do not embarrass the young gentleman by asking him where he got his nickname. “Brass comes from Gales Ferry; it is too bad he doesn't take Latin, it seems to be in the atmosphere up there. However, he takes short-hand, and that is almost as hard to translate. ,Bu LK ELEY Ann UAL;1 ‘ .Cw' f l,! -£4 ■■ s : HAROLD ROBINSON (“Robby ) Orchestra (1) (2); Basketball (3); Track 0) (-) (3); Class Baseball (1) (2) (3); Commercial Course. Robby doesn't say much, but what he does have to say is said. Here's that old adage, Still water runs deep. Robby’s modest attitude is just the surface for a lot of deep thoughts. LEROY LAMB ( Lamby ) General Course. Come on, you corn-fed papa, and strut your stuff. Ask anybody who Lamby is, and they'll tell you “dat he's the gink wot does de split.” One day the Freshmen were warned that if they wore ties they would meet the just deserts which all Frosh deserve. Lamby took this remark to heart and has never worn a tie since. ISADORE SCHUMANN ( Sheik ) Track (3); Class Baseball (3); Commercial Course. When Sheik runs around the track you can see puffs of smoke rise from the cinders. It's a generally known fact that cinders do not burn, but Sheik defies this law. By his name you might think Sheik was handy with the ladies. We do not attempt to disprove it. ARTHUR P. SCHWARTZ ( Red ) Merchant of Venice'' (2); Football Squad (2) (3); Football Team (4); Assistant Manager of Baseball (3); Manager (4); Junior Play Committee (3); Biology Club (3) (4): President (4); Budget Committee (4); Dramatic Club (4); Senior Prom Committee (4); Class Day Committee (4); Stage Manager, Whole Town’s Talking (4); Potpourri (4); Classical Course. We were thinking of having this picture done in color, but Mr. Kenyon suggested that the red was so bright it would probably show through anyway. Art is noted for his ability to make people laugh. We predict a fine future for him in a one-horse circus as clown. But, in spite of this, Red was one of the mainstays of the Bulkeley eleven. (S) ARTHUR V. SHURTS (“Art ) Secretary and Treasurer (1); Baseball (2) (4); Class Baseball (1) (2) (3): Junior Review (3): Potpourri (4). Art is one of our prominent club-men, both around school and on the diamond. He can’t even leave clubs alone evenings, but while the rest of his orchestra is playing, he taps on his drum, tin-can covers, cod-fish box, or anything else handy. Why does Art always blush when we sing the second verse of “Welcome. Sweet Springtime ? CHESTER D. SIEMERING ( Chet”) Track Team (3); Football (2) (3); Annual Board (4); Potpourri (4): Class Day Committee; Classical Course. If you don’t recognize this picture, just draw in an old black pipe, and there you have Chet, absolutely happy. Chet is almost a Bulkeley institution. He threatened to graduate a couple of years ago, but we are glad for our own sakes that he didn't. Every senior class has its “Grand Old Man,” and Chet Siemering is ours. MAX M. SOKOL ( Tinhorn ) Debating Squad (1) (2); Potpourri (1) (2) (3) (4); Cheer Leader (3) (4); Freshman Speaker at the Fiftieth Anniversary of Bulkeley, June 30, 1923, at 8:15 P. M. (1). There is one of two things the matter with Max: Either his hat is too small for his head, or the latter is too large for the former. But after all. Max isn't a bad sort. And he has ceased singing ever since he was forcibly evicted from Room 5 at the end of Mr. Hamlen’s boot. However, nothing in the world could ever keep him from orating. WILLIAM F. SULLIVAN (“Bill ) Football (4); Commercial Course. Bill is one of the “big” members of our class. Bill is so shy that he is afraid to blow his own horn, but we’ll do a little blowing right now. Bill can play football. In spite of that. Bill is a good sort of a skate.

Team (3); History Prize (3); Classical Course. Herb is not only noticeable for his lofty stature, but even more so because of his records in scholar ship. His physiognomy is always covered by a good natured grin, while his ability as a newspaper reporter is only surpassed by the way in which he tickles the ivories. KENNETH P. WOODS ( Woodie”) Scientific Course. “Silence is golden. Ken knows the value of this proverb; however, there is no telling what goes on outside of school. Ken is an easy fellow to like, and one who champions the Coast Guard Academy at most of their games. On the Q. T. we just know that he has the stuff in him that Coolidges are made of. EDDY SCHINMAN ( Ed, Archimedes ) Debating Squad (1); Class Baseball (1) (2) (3); Merchant of Venice (2); Assistant Manager of Baseball (3); Manager of Football (4); Radio Club (4); Physics Prize (3); Potpourri (2) (4); Scientific Course. There is not a student in Bulkeley who is not aware of Ed’s presence. He puts such small portions of gas in his car that the report is that he is trying to wean it. Eddie is very much at home in the chemistry “lab, probably trying to find a cheap substitute for gas. The success of last year’s football team was in many ways due to his work.

As freshmen, herded into the assembly like lambs, we were assigned to our rooms, and the inscrutable freshman masters escorting us there. Life was not so very hard for us then. We filled the corridors with laughter, noise, and made our (pencil) marks (on the walls). One hundred and fifty strong, we entered the portals of Bulkeley in 1923. In the Potpourri, we presented that famous skit entitled, “Not Wanted, A Wife.” As freshmen are helpless, the only thing we did that year was to elect class officers. William Rudd was our president this first year, and his staff negotiated for the rings. For a long time afterwards, the fourth year men felt the pinch of poverty, after paying for these rings. For the Armistice Day parade, we turned out in full force to march behind our banner. After a long and weary vacation, we were at last sophomores, but out of the one hundred and fifty, only one hundred met the new school year. Those that were left progressed finely, for they captured the Potpourri Prize with a Minstrel Show, the best ever given in Bulkeley. We appeared to be masters of all we surveyed, at least of the freshmen, but the iron hands of upper classmen held us under control. Let this be a warning to all future sophomores, to respect the powers of the Mighty Three Rooms, 8, 9 and 10. Many former sophomores rue the day of their rashness when they were forcibly ejected from Bulkeley. As juniors now, we fight bravely onward and upward, with only half of our original number. Things are not so hard on us, so at midyears, few dropped by the wayside. The Junior Review, originated last year by the Class of '26, was continued this year successfully. The football team had many juniors on its roll. Gray was elected captain for next year. The Baseball Team will have many juniors to help bring home the bacon again this spring. You will hear more of the Class of '27 next year when we are full-fledged seniors and have a more impressive record behind us, after managing our own Prom and Play. V Bulkeley Annual, 19 26 V: v -v.

Bulkeley Annual THE NOBLE SOPHS ROM all the grammar schools of the town, from Waterford, from the wilds of Mystic, Groton, Stonington, and the rest of those vague and unexplored regions, we came one hundred and twenty-five strong. We, the noble class of twenty-eight, the famous Sophs of the present time. After taking Bulkeley by storm the first day and astonishing the faculty by our marvelous intellects, we settled down to the four year grind, two of which have already passed. During our freshman year we were assigned rooms in the new building, the best in the school, as befitted our high station. The teachers that took care of us that year were: the most polite and efficient Hertel, the massive Canty, the well groomed and many languaged Sharp, and the keen-eyed Falconer. A few of the fellows chose the commercial course, but must of our took up classical studies. We received many compliments from the teachers, and were even mentioned in a prominent newspaper of the vicinity as having minds of the highest scholastic grade. Then came the class elections, at which we elected our most worthy brother, Earl R. Edgecomb, president. This venerable old sage safely guided us through the perilous and stormy year that followed. The other officers never exercised their authority in the least degree, to the extent of our knowledge, and therefore we cannot recall their names. The principal social activity in which we participated was the Potpourri. In this we displayed our fine dramatic ability. We captured second prize and missed first by a hair’s breadth. Small attention was paid to athletics, except singing in the Assembly, buying season tickets, learning the cheers and the rest of the usual activities. Really, we did not go out for the teams because we hadn't the heart to supplant athletes like Eddie Henkel, Sheflott and the rest of the gang that stayed in school for athletics only. The second year, were such a thing possible, our star shone brighter than ever. We were situated on the top floor under the efficient guidanceship of Masters Cook, who'll tell you he’s from the pinetree state; Shay, of the pugnacious look; and the sky-scraping Small. Quentin Walsh, the backwoodsman from Groton, was chosen president this year. The most important event of the year took place when we gave Mr. Cook some book-ends for a combined Christmas and wedding present. During this year we were destined to break all records in scholastic, athletic, oratorical, dramatic and artistic attainments. Our ranks were decreased in a small way by certain gentlemen who deigned to look upon study as a menial task which they were far above doing. But these same ranks were considerably increased by castoffs from the junior class. The juniors being a slothful and degenerated class, this is an unfortunate asset. This year we decided to give the poor seniors a chance, and sat back, allowing them to take first prize in the Potpourri. We didn't half try! From this summary of a truly great and good class, the knowledge is easily gleaned that '28 is the best in the history of Bulkeley, the greatest in the world, and the “chesti-est” bunch of humanity ever created.

Zito, Joseph Zuliani, Dante THE HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF 1929 N September last year a large group of boys stood outside the entrance of Bulkeley School. It was opening day, and these boys were new Freshmen. In a few minutes the doors were opened and we were conducted to the assembly hall, where Mr. Underwood, the Headmaster, addressed us. He instructed us concerning rooms, teachers and studies. We then chose our home rooms, where we were further instructed as to periods and books. Soon afterward we became acquainted with our studies and surroundings. October brought on the football season. Two Freshmen tried for the team. Of these two, Falvey succeeded. We were almost forced to buy season tickets. The slight reward of two hours less school on the day of the first game was offered to the room having the largest percentage of ticket buyers. Several classes of Freshmen got the reward, with 100 per cent. In the first part of November, quarterly exams were announced. Reports concern-ing them from upper classmen were not inspiring. On receiving the questions, we decided that they were not over estimated. After exams came reports. Nothing has been done to delinquents yet. About the middle of December came the long awaited Christmas vacation. This vacation lasted just long enough for us to forget a good part of what little we had learned. The second quarter was very short, and before we realized it, mid year exams were upon us. We had been warned of them long before the actual date of their coming, but still we were not ready to meet them. Perhaps the knowing that all who failed would be demoted spurred us on to desparate action. However, though the exams were pretty stiff, we came through fairly well. Early in the third quarter the survivors of the exams elected their officers. Lane was elected president, with Tighe as secretary and treasurer. One reason for this election was the necessity of officers for the oncoming Potpourri. This event occupies the mind of every scholar and the after school hours of the participants. We all look forward to this break in the monotonous school routine. In this way more than half of our Freshman year has passed.

The announcement was made that merited plays would be presented before the student body. Harry Einhorn was elected president of the Club. A worthy business manager was found in Laurence Wilson. Mr. Cook was chosen as the coach. Two one-act tragedies by the Yale Playcraftsmen were produced before the energy of the members was absorbed in “The Whole Town’s Talking.” The first one, “At the End of the Rope, depicted the frustration of the suicidal attempts of a young man by a similarly inclined old man. Harry Einhorn and Maurice Hendel played the parts convincingly. The second, “The Man Without a Head,” presented an old French chateau, where two Americans had taken refuge for the night. By reason of the ghost stories of the caretaker, a nightmarish climax develops, proving fatal to the voyageurs. Richard Prentis as the caretaker, and James Allyn and Harry Nelson as the two Americans, interpreted their parts realistically. (7) .Bulkeley Annual 19 Q 6 fT'A k '• S' •' AFe ipIV Hr'- !:, - •«S? - ? a £- ......... “THE WHOLE TOWN’S TALKING” N December 23rd, 1925, the newly organized Bulkeley Dramatic Club pre- jjr sented the play, The Whole Town’s Talking,” which was enthusiastically proclaimed as one of the best that has been staged in the auditorium. The audience rippled with laughter through the entire performance, and thrilled at the natural and direct elegance with which the varied characters were portrayed. The cast included some of the best actors in the school, who upheld Bulkeley’s dramatic traditions with credit. W. M. I. furnished the talent for the feminine roles. The farce was rife with humor, and it afforded many opportunities for talented interpretations. Henry Simmons, a paint manufacturer of Sandusky, Ohio, wants his shy young business partner, Chester Binney, to marry Simmon's daughter, Ethel. Harry Einhorn as Chester Binney did some excellent acting and convinced the audience of the haphazardness of his position. Laurence Wilson admirably presented the role of the elder business partner. Dorothy Winship took the part of Ethel with her usual charm and vivacity. Harriet Simmons thinks otherwise than her husband, and favors Roger Shields who has returned with Ethel from Chicago. Winifred McGuire's interpretation of Harriet was one of the outstanding features of the play. Maurice Hendel took the part of Roger Shields with credit. Ethel declares that she is not yet ready to marry, but when she does, it must be a man of the world, one who has seen life.” Simmons formulates a magnanimous project whereby Ethel would take considerable notice of the worthy suitor. Simmons and Binney unearth the picture of a great actress, Letty Lythe, and in their minds there spring wondrous tales of amorous delinquencies. In the actress's part, Florence Fitch bore herself with a demeanor befitting a movie queen. Across the back of the picture of inspiration they inscribe a passionate message. It is artfully conveyed into the hands of the feminine members of the house, and soon the whole town is talking about the love affair. All would have proceeded to a nicety as Simmons had prophesied had not havoc been wrought by the arrival of Letty Lythe and her fiance, Donald Swift. Broughton Pendleton expressed his part as Swift with considerable color. Chester and Simmons are thrown into confusion, and are indiscreetly exposed to rather uncomfortable complications. Gradually, through hilarious misunderstandings, the situation becomes critical when Swift reads the inscription on the picture. Shields and Swift, searching for Binney, grapple at each other in the dark. When the lights are turned on, Chester emerges without a scratch from behind a divan and conqueror'like majestically places his foot on the bruised contestants, prostrate and bewildered. Elizabeth Winship depicted the part of the dancing teacher, Sadie Bloom, with comic vehemence. Elizabeth Glass as the maid, Joseph NIcGarry as the taxi driver, Dorothy Church and Jean Foster completed the cast. .Bulkeley Annual a 19 26 J . u' Its first presentation proved so successful that the Dramatic Club was encouraged to attempt additional performances of “The Whole Town's Talking.” A second time it appeared at the school. Then, not content with its achievements, the club sought for laurels elsewhere. Their enthusiasm conveyed them beyond all barriers of precedence to Norwich town. Thus, once again, on February 15, 1926, the brilliantly successful play was pre' sented at the Community House at Norwich under the auspices of one of the N. F. A. sororities. The role of Harriet Simmons, which had previously been taken by Winifred McGuire, was portrayed by Jean Foster. Too much credit cannot be given to her fine interpretation of the part. CAST OF “THE WHOLE TOWN'S TALKING JBulkeley Annual 19 96 ih j- ' il £ - -■ THE 1926 POTPOURRI HE Fourth Annual Pot-Pourri held true to the course of being bigger and better than its predecessors. Slowly but surely it is asserting itself as an enduring and somewhat influential institution in the affairs of the school. With each advent the Potpourri grows stronger in spirit and purpose and finer in atmosphere. On the evening of February 18th a large enthusiastic audience honored Bulkeley's manifestation of dramatic talent, that flower of expression which blooms annually. Then did comedy and tragedy stalk forth to mingle the carefree synchronous sounds (some called it music) of sundry Seniors and the grewsome homicidal attempts of belated Juniors. The first act on the program, that of the Juniors, was a playlet entitled “Action,” which savored strongly of the melodramatic. The action, alas, was of the violent species incorporating the essence of “blood and thunder to the nth degree and resulting in barbaric depletion of the entire cast. But such is inevitable when a silk merchant, Messick, an aviator, Davis, thieves, McGee and Brown, bootleggers, Frasier and Curtiss, prohibition agents, Sweeney and Allen, and policemen, Rathbun and Minucci, rendezvous. This episode must surely have been recognized as one of Mr. Hamlen's thrillers. The Freshmen presented a musical score, Harmony Junction. with a hobo chorus that was verily a credit to the new fledged actors. Under the management of Head Master Underwood they developed a smooth, enjoyable act that attracted the audience from the first. The attempts of the aspiring band in vocal and pedaneous exertions proved successful and indeed amusing, to say the least. Gustus Mcnghi took the part of the station agent: John Petrosky, the magician: John Parks, the colored porter, and Newman Harrigan, the hobo king. A brief intermission succeeded while entertainment in sleight of hand was afforded by John Petrosky of the Freshman class. The best part of the program came when the Seniors put on their praiseworthy production. They attempted the unusual and presented an entirely original act called “Bulkeley's Own Broadcasting Station. The sketch was written in collaboration by several members of the class and despite the limited time produced a highly entertaining piece that was quite informative. The current gleamings of spasmodic exploits of our sad colleagues were contagious in their effects. The audience was kept in perpetual laughter by the humorous antics of the various members of the cast. Laurence Wilson majestically officiated as the announcer. He revealed his aptitude in his cognizance of the somewhat dubious intruder, Levinson. The football quartet composed of Schwartz. McCue, Collins and Cowhey rendered or, rather, heartlessly murdered several selections whose merits were in the balance. The entrance of the musicians was greeted by the heartiest laugh of the evening. Each one was attired at the dictates of his own ingenuity and the result was an extremely ridiculous array of apparel. The mainstay of the orchestra was Einhorn's “bellows and it was with untold agony that the rest were able to vibrate to the same key. Hickey's “bicycle pump readily followed as second in its proportionate voluminous outpour. The strains from Cal-lahan’s mouth organ were so emotional they were productive of tears. Embellished with an exceedingly red nose. Max Socol, as the speaker of the evening, presumptuously delivered an amusing tirade against prohibition. Verily the Senior production whose merits were fully appreciated by the audience was unique in subject and method. It was under the supervision of Mr. Pierce. The Sophomore's playlet. “A Thief in the House, was rife with moments of deep meditation and thought. Between periodical recurrences of oblivion the act had to do with a rejected lover, a thief masquerading as a police inspector, the inspector in the guise of a peddler and a negro mammy. Truly it did not lack for humor. Samuel Weinstein as the inspector and Louis Wool as the mammy were deserving of the highest praise for their realistic interpretations. While the audience was intent upon the Bulkeley Serenaders, who gave several popular selections with marked skill, a certain committee proceeded to dissect the results of the evening's havoc. Mr. James Hammond, as the spokesman for the judges, gave their decisions from the views of originality, dramatic ability displayed, and response evoked from the audience. The Seniors were awarded the prize amid the acclamation of the audience. Yet, to their credit, the Freshmen were but a half a point short of the Seniors.

M. I. ORCHESTRA “THEME AND VARIATIONS” |E could tell you in a very formal manner that the Bulkeley-W. M. I. Orchestra has just passed through a very successful season, and you would glance at the picture and say, “Oh, yes, the orchestra,” and pass on. But the orchestra is composed of human beings after all, and ought to be treated as such. Most of us do not realize how much we appreciate it. We get a lot more satisfaction out of hearing the “Glow Worm or a selection of Victor Herbert’s than we imagine. We never think of our orchestra as we do our athletic teams, but where is there a better example of team-work than an orchestra, and where is there more havoc wrought if one gets out of time and tune. Lanky Crawford might fail to catch a short grounder, and we would utter a few disgusted Oh's and Ah’s; but if Bjorge failed to catch the beat of Mr. Pierce’s baton, and began to play clarinet solos all over the place, our whole nervous system would be wrecked, and our ears would hear funny noises for hours. Of all the orchestra leaders we can imagine, Mr. Pierce has the most patience. Week after week for two or three years he trains an orchestra, and then what do the players do but graduate—then he starts slowly to blow another big soap bubble. One of Mr. Pierce’s biggest and finest bubbles burst last year. Now with a few left-over suds and a lot of fresh water and soap, the Blower of Famous Soap-Bubbles is just exhaling a deep breath, and we are admiring the result. If any of you facetious readers are amused at our simile, we will explain the resemblance. Our orchestra is built up with preliminary practice and painstaking care. It is an example of perfect unity. It is a pleasure to its audience. It improves steadily, and is at its best just before it fades out. BULKELEY SENIOR DANCE PROGRAMME 1.

The Bulkeley Bards of 1926 SONNET Hark now, ye age, pent in thy sager thoughts, Hark close, ye moral minstrels, as I sing My sonnet in petition that it bring Sweet wisdom from amongst thy solemn courts. Why must thou, in thy care of reckless youth, Build barriers (conventions of thy mood) For sake of us and for our general good, When bring they delusive thoughts in truth? A quiet voice replies in accents low, “For youth, in all its quests and warm desires, Both crippled age and mental strife will bring, If not by me its pace is made more slow, And held by morals from consuming fires, Which faster curfew’s toll of death will ring. Chester Siemering THE RAINDROPS The silver rain, the golden rain, The dancing, rippling, laughing rain! Stringing its pearls on the green leaf’s edge, Fringing with gems the brown rock’s ledge, Spinning a veil for the waterfall, And building an amber-colored wall Across the west where the sunbeams fall. Peter Mariano (Reprinted from The Magazine World, December, 1925) STORM WARNING A sullen, ominous quiet is in the air, And a penetrating chill. Long rays from hidden orbit earthward fare, Touching on a somber hill. The smoke from burning heaps of withered leaves Billows along the ground, And white caps top the rolling blue-gray waves Far on the distant Sound. Dull leaden clouds hang in the west, Of gross, misshapen form. Nature, preparing for some test, Is warning of a storm. Oliver Cooper THE GROTON WEAVER The weaver at his loom is sitting, He throws his shuttle to and fro. Foot and treadle, Hand and pedal, Upward, downward, How the weaver makes them go! By the weaver’s strength they go. Up and down the web is plying, And across the woof is flying. What a rattle! What a battle! What a scuffle! What a shuffle! Peter Mariano LE PETIT RUISSEAU Gushing up and splashing o'er the rocks Into a little pool to dribble down, Turning here, Gliding there, And jumping up and over like a clown. Then through the green meadow where cows gently graze, And under a willow and through a small glen, Along past the farm-lot where waves the tall maize, Across the old road to the woods, and then Pouring over a granite ledge and dashing down the rapids, Leaping, bumping, glancing off, swirling, whirling, laughing. Until its chattering current to a hollow roar is muffled, When o’er the last big water-fall, the river stills its chaffing. James Allyn IGNIS TERRUNDUS Before the fire of civilization I sit in fear and dread; There I crouch in consternation, Lest the fire be dead. Beyond the fire are all the vices. Jealousy, hatred, barbarity, ire; Superstition more than all entices; Suppress them 'ere they pass the fire! For when the fire, with dying embers, Blinks and flickers, then goes out, ’Tis then that man in vain remembers The need to keep such beasts without. ?Jorman George V - v V Bulkeley Annum, , .r 'U2Lja r� ' Tillie Daniels Baseball Captain 1925 Joseph Gaetano Baseball Captain 1926 Tom Davis Football Captain 1925 Philip Gray Football Captain 1926 BASEBALL TEAM Front Row (left to right): J.

It was the product of four years making, starting in the hands of Coach Milton Philips and coming down to the present stage. Mr. Philips began coaching these players when they were Freshmen and Coach Aldrich continued his task when they were Juniors. Last year, under the tutelage of Coach Canty, they became well nigh perfect, and it is doubtful whether their equal will ever be found here again. This Bulkeley team has won the state championship three times in four years, a record which has never been accomplished by any team before, and which has never come any where near being equalled. The schedule which Coach Canty, with the assistance of Manager Harris, decided upon is probably the toughest one ever undertaken by any Bulkeley team. It called for games with the most formidable high schools in the state and also with strong nines representing Massachusetts and New York. Out of fifteen games, Bulkeley lost but one, a most remarkable record. A brief summary of the season follows: After three weeks of hard practice, the Coach was satisfied enough with his balbtossers, and their first opponents were the Morris High players from New York. This team bore a good repu tation in sport circles there, and local fans were eager to match our home talent with the boys from the Empire State. Tillie Daniels was on the mound for Bulkeley, and he was master of the situa tion at all times. Morris High was only able to score 1 run from 2 scratch hits, while Bulkeley, hammering the pill at leisure, gathered in 9 runs. This game gave us a good start for our season. Bulkeley took a great deal of pleasure in playing N. F. A., as the final score seems to indicate, 18'2. Four pitchers were driven from the mound in the slaughter, while Tillie took things easy. The boys fattened up their batting averages, for they garnered 27 hits during the game. Weaver High of Hartford was our next victim in line, and they furnished slight opposition for our veterans. Our boys romped away with a 6'2 victory. Gino Montali exhibited a fine brand of pitching when he limited the Capitol City boys to 5 hits. Our schedule then called for a journey to New York to play a return game with Morris High and also to stack up against Fordham Frosh. Our boys were very much disappointed when rain halted the Fordham contest. That night the local team was entertained by the New York Norwich Club, and our players were guests at a banquet and a smoker. And the next day they met the Morris High team and again scored a decisive victory. “Hand' some Tillie Daniels deserved a no hit, no run game, but a hit was chalked up against him when Joe Parisi was blinded by the sun in right field, and “foozled an easy fly. The Bulkeley players took things easy and won the game by a score of 9'0. One of the few close games which occurred in the season was with Collegiate Prep of New Haven. The contest was not won until the last prep player was out. The score was 7'6 in our favor at the ninth inning. Our opponents had 2 men on bases, the tieing and winning runs, but the next player was forced out when he grounded to Gaetano. The next game was with the Commercial High nine from New Haven, and was a continuation of our winning streak. Eleven of our men pranced around the bases, while their rivals were only able to get 2 runs. Joe Parisi pitched a wonderful game for his team. Babe“ Booth lived up to his name when he connected for 2 circuit clouts. Bulkeley Annual V? T-.' V M 19 Q 6 Vi =d isti South Manchester was added to our long string of victories, and Captain Tillie Daniels and his crew whitewashed them 5-0. This nine was regarded as a strong team because it had hitherto been undefeated. The usual “jinx which accompanies any team was apparently with Bulkeley when they played N. F. A. in their return engagement. The up-staters administered the only defeat to Bulkeley when they defeated us in strategy by the score of 8-6. It was simply a case of overconfidence with the sons of Bulkeley. This game did not bear any significance towards the state title inasmuch as we had previously defeated them. They refused us another game, being content that they had beaten the state champions. Thereafter, Bulkeley assumed a more serious attitude towards their games, and it was simply one victory after another. New Haven Hillhouse came to this city with a string of ten victories and a wonderful baseball machine. During the earlier part of this game. Captain Tillie Daniels and his mates collected three runs, but were unable to secure any more for the remainder of the game. In the first half of the ninth, Hillhouse managed to squeeze two runners across the plate, due mainly to Daniel’s wabbling, and had three men on bases with two out. But he redeemed himself by striking the next man out. On Memorial Day at the Sub Base, Bulkeley defeated Crosby 10-2 before a crowd of 5,000 people. Tillie Daniels contented himself by allowing four men to hit safely and by turning eleven men to the bench via strikeout route. Our team paid a visit to the Brass City on the following week and gave them an unmerciful beating. Our local boys batted three pitchers from the rubber and accumulated 19 hits for a total of 26 bases. Joe Parisi pitched his usual good brand of baseball, and he received fine support from his team. Our boys came home from Bridgeport with a 12-4 victory. Another scalp was added to our belt when we vanquished the strong Windham baseball team. Gino Montali deserves credit for the victory by his wonderful twirling. He struck out ten men and allowed only seven hits. The support given to him by his team was faultless and the game resulted in our favor 7-4. The team which represented Leominster proved to be only set-ups for the more experienced and skillful Whaling City athletes. Parisi was in fine form, and his team gave him errorless support. The runs increased until the final score read 11-3. The last game of the season was with George Washington High from Meriden. It was a very one-sided affair, in which experience and ability in the art of baseball reigned. Tillie pitched a fine game, allowing only five hits. It was in this game that Joe Barry hit for a perfect day. He got five hits in as many trips to the platter. Coach Canty accomplished a wonderful task when he coached this team to state championship. He was ably assisted by Manager Harris, who is deserving of much credit in behalf of his untiring efforts to make the season a financial success. Captain Tillie Daniels bundled the brunt of the pitching burden, and he was considered the best slabsman of the state. It is safe to say that he was one of the finest pitchers who ever twirled for Bulkeley High. He was often relieved of his duties by Parisi and Montali, who pitched com-mendably. Gino is Bulkeley’s hope on the mound next year. Behind the bat we have Sheflott. George maintained fielding and batting averages far above par. We are confident that our infield was the best in the state. It was what one might call an airtight infield. Honny Mansfield covered the initial sack, and he was a fine addition to the infield. And second we find Joe Barry, who was considered as the surest hitter on the team. Barney Hutchinson jumped around the hot corner like a major leaguer. Joe Gaetano played shortstop, pulling in everything that resembled a baseball. Joe and Gino Montali should prove to be a big help to Coach Canty next year. Gino Montali roamed around left field. He was a very consistent player and a good man with the stick. Bill Booth, more familiarly known as Babe Booth, played center field. Babe had a mania for batting home runs. Tillie Daniels and Joe Parisi took care of right field, the one pitching while the other fielded. In addition to Gino Montali and Joe Gaetano, Coach Canty will be aided with plenty of available material to make next year a successful one.

Morgan THE FOOTBALL TEAM OF 1925 HE football season of 1925 was a most remarkable and successful one for Bulkeley School. Over fifty green and untried rookies constituted the squad from which Coach Canty was to form an eleven. He faced a very difficult problem because not one real veteran from last year's team remained. Nevertheless, Coach Canty, by his untiring efforts, produced a team of considerable merit. Most of these fellows did not have the least knowledge of football and it was up to Mr. Canty to teach them the rudiments of the game. It was not long before we realized that under his tutelage we were gathering up a pretty fair idea of what football is supposed to be like. From then on things went along rather smoothly. Managers Schinman and Dreyfus, with the counsel of Coach Canty, decided upon one of the hardest schedules ever undertaken by any Bulkeley team. It consisted of seven home games and three out of town games. They included the strongest teams which could be found throughout the state. Stonington was first on the list. We had put in two faithful weeks of practice, but there was evidence of lack of teamwork, nevertheless. We clearly outplayed our opponents in every department of the game. However, in the last half a Stonington player picked up a fumble and ran unmolested from midfield for a touchdown. We were in positions several times to push the pigskin across the line but lacked the necessary punch to do it. To show the real comparison between the two teams may be clearly indicated when we see that we made ten first downs to their one. The final score was 7-0. During the next week we prepared for the most difficult game of the season. We were discouraged by our game of the week previous and we were working hard to redeem ourselves. When we encountered the Capital City team we ran up against some experienced players who outweighed us 20 pounds to the man. We played a very commendable game but it resulted in our accepting the short end of a 19-0 score. It was a game in which weight and experience told the tale. Our next game was an intersectional contest with Leominster, Mass. We were treated in a cordial way by their team and were entertained at a theatre on the night of our arrival there. On the next morning we played, but were still unable to break our losing streak. Two touchdowns and a field goal netted Leominster sixteen points, while we used all our efforts in keeping the score from piling up. On that night we were made guests at a dance and we were treated in a royal way. Next year, when the Leominster boys come to New London we hope Bulkeley will receive them in the same hospitable way. After a discouraging and disastrous start we determined that this luck would have to change. Crosby, who usually hands Bulkeley an annual beating, was defeated by us in Brassco Park. We were outweighed and it was only our skill in football which enabled us to win. Marshall gave a fine exhibition of drop kicking, booting two field goals from the 35-yard line. Eddie Collins played a wonderful defensive game and his off tackle dashes were largely responsible for our victory. We got much encouragement from this game because Crosby had hitherto been undefeated and were being considered for state honor. The most thrilling and exciting game of the whole year was played with Commercial High from New Haven, at Morgan Park, before a crowd of 3,000 spectators. The teams were evenly matched and it was a tense struggle from start to finish. We battled on even terms throughout the game, with Commercial High using their 225-pound fullback for line plunges while we resorted to off tackle plays. Neither side was able to score and the game resulted in a scoreless tie. To break even with such a strong team was a victory for us, but unfortunately a Pyrrhic one. Joe Allen, our flashy little halfback, broke his ankle, and stayed out of the game for the rest of the season. Wilson, Collins and Falvey were hurt temporarily and were unable to play at Bridgeport the following week. 1 Bulkeley AnnuaeSA 9 96 • iie-. (• Our victorious rally was interrupted abruptly when we encountered the powerful Bridgeport eleven. The absence of six of our first string players was keenly felt and we were unable to withstand the furious charges of the heavier and more experienced players. We did our best and at the end of a one-sided game the score read 20-0. We were not only handicapped because of the absence of our regulars but also on account of the unfair manner in which the officials treated us. The game which everyone awaited with eagerness was our struggle with the boys from the Rose of New England. The game was a thrilling and exciting one which contained all the former bitterness and rivalry which has marked the battles between the two schools. In the first half our line was slow and our backfield sluggish, and we found ourselves on the tail end of a 12-0 score. We started off with a bang in the second half. One of the first plays Collins threw a forward pass to Gray, and Flip, after receiving it, raced 60 yards for a touchdown. The Bulkeley fans went mad and from then on the Orange and Black were the aggressors. A series of long runs by Collins and Menghi netted us another touchdown. Marshall put the game on ice when he drop-kicked the goal. From then on there was no more danger of scoring and the game ended in our favor, 13-12. It was a great day for Bulkeley. Encouraged by our remarkable victory from Norwich we continued our winning streak when we defeated the strong LaSalle Academy warriors. Flip Gray again distinguished himself when he scored another touchdown. Marshall assisted him in winning the game by booting a field goal. The only score LaSalle was able to get was a safety. The game ended with a score of 9-2. This game clearly showed that we were gathering an abundant knowledge of football tactics. Our line was unconquerable and our backfield kept our foe guessing at all times by their squirming, wriggling dashes. The last official game of our schedule was with the Fordham Freshman eleven. This contest might be compared to a father against son affair. We were fighting against overwhelming odds, being outweighed 20 pounds to a man. However, we started triumphantly, “Flip Gray intercepting a lateral pass and flying 40 yards through the air for a touchdown. Weight and experience told on us when the visitors retaliated, forcing us to submit to a sound beating of 26-6. We were worthy of commendation for our efforts in view of the fact that we were playing against men. On Thanksgiving Day we played a post-season game with Branford. This team proved no match for us and we whitewashed them to the tune of 19-0. In general, our football team was a success and we were wonderfully aided by the able instruction of Coach Canty. Managers Dreyfus and Schinman attended to the financial and field duties, respectively. They are to be praised for their efficient and scrupulous efforts. Captain Thomas Davis headed the team and played a wonderful game at guard in spite of his injuries which prevented him from playing in all the games. His team-mate was La Wilson. La was always there with his usual spirit and his defensive work was a mainstay to the team. Schwartz and McCue held down the tackle berths in a manner deserving of credit. Schwartz was considered the best tackle in the state. His ability in diagnosing plays and in defensive work earned for him a place on the all-scholastic team. The wing positions were taken care of by Gray and Brown. “Flip was noted for his fleet-footedness and his specialty was making touchdowns. JBulkeley ANNUAi fe, 1 t x i s f SZ —' 5.
