Hjistnrg of Hitlkrlry riiool ®nl in txrrrptu from Wlil Srrorbo from 1909 (Cataluiutr ijttjK. LEONARD H. BULKELEY, who died in 1849, left by will a fund of about $25,000, for the founding of a free school for the boys of New London, to be known as “Bulkeley School,” with the provision that the fund should be kept invested until a much larger amount should be available. The original endowment has been increased by several generous gifts pnd legacies, viz: From the estate of Mr. Asa Otis, $10,000; from the estate of Mr. Henry P. Haven, $5,000; and from the Hon. George F. Tinker, upwards of $11,000, for the construction and furnishing of an extensive addition to the building. Besides these large gifts, several good friends of the school have, from time to time, given liberally for specific purposes: Finishing and equipping rooms previously unoccupied, installing excellent chemical and physical laboratories, laying a substantial sidewalk about the school property, providing an excellent telescope, etc. The lot on which the school building is erected was a gift to the corporation from the City of New London. The original Trustees named in the will of Mr. Bulkeley. five citizens of New London who secured the charter for the school in 1850. under the corporate style, “Trustees of Bulkeley,” were; Messrs. Nathan Belcher, William C. Crump, John P. C. Mather. Henry P. Haven and N. Shaw Perkins. Of these Trustees, four served the school until death, the fifth, Mr. Nathan Belcher, resigned in 1884, after a trusteeship of thirty-five years. During the school year 1904—1905, the Trustees made some radical changes in the corporation management and in the course of instruction. Application was made to the General Assembly at its January session, 1905, for authority to amend the charter of the corporation. The amendment was duly authorized by the Legislature and was adopted November 17, 1905 by vote of the Trustees. This amendment provides for a board of seven instead of five Trustees. It also provides that one of the additional Trustees shall be the Chairman of the Board of Education of the City of New London, ex-officio, and that the other shall be nominated by the alumni of the school and elected under such regulations as the corporation may adopt. The adoption of the change of the charter increasing the number of corporators to seven made the Chairman of the Board of Education at once a member of the Board of Trustees. During the month of June, 1906. circular letters were addressed to the graduates, enclosing voting slips, inviting them to vote for an alumnus of Bulkeley School, a resident of New London, who had been graduated at least five years, as a nominee for Graduate Trustee of the corporation. This canvass resulted in the nomination of Mr. Sidney II. Miner of the class of 1886, and this nomination was ratified by vote of the Trustees. June 18. 1906. Mention should be made of a memorial that has been placed on the facade of the school by the efforts and generosity of the Daughters of the American Revolution. The bronze tablet is a memorial to Captain Charles Bulkeley, who served in the Revolution and the Wrar of 1812. and to Leonard Hallam Bulkeley, founder of the school, father and son, and it is most fitting that this lecord of the patriotism of one and the civic generosity of the other should be placed on the enduring granite walls of Bulkeley School. w3 ygUUUUUUHIf VUb V. UUHUif Jfamunrii As the representatives of the class of 1927, the editors have earnestly attempted in this School Annual to maintain the high standards of interest, quality, merit and distinction found in past Uulkeley year-hooks and to add, to the height of our abilities, to those characteristics. We ardently hope that the editors of the future Bulkeley Annuals, guided by these ideals, will, through the course of years, adding improvement to improvement, eventually produce the real “Utopia” of High School year-books and so will in this phase of Bulkeley School accomplishment, as in others, preserve the motto of our school: “Blepson Eis Ta Ora Look to llir Hills” $o $rrni (Cop Eyylratou A grahuatr of Bnlkrlrg rhool.

The renewed life and the productive activities of the Bulkeley Alumni Association date hack to 1922. The approaching Golden Anniversary of the school was the cause and inspiration of this renaissance. First began the registration of members when the school office undertook the hig task of locating every living graduate. Class rolls containing such residence addresses as were definitely known were printed in duplicate copies and these lists were given out or mailed to any and to all persons who might supply the desired data. The campaign was nearly one hundred per cent successful, resulting in the completion of a card index giving the exact addressses. occupational connections, and professional references of approximately one thousand graduates. The anniversary banquet in June, 1923 was an event of state-wide interest. Many alumni who lived far from New London returned for the celebration. This occasion proved so enjoyable that it was voted to hold reunion banquets annually. A constitution was adopted at the second meet ing and banquet of the Association in June. 1924. The Griswold hotel at Eastern Point was the happy rendezvous for these afternoon and evening gatherings for three successive years. Then the Mohican Hotel was chosen for the 1926 meeting with the same encouraging evidence in attendance and interest. Every year the program has been replete with entertainment and special features not omitting, of course, responses from popular grads of various classes and including brief addresses by Bulkeley alumni who have earned distinction. Special credit should he given to the Bulkeley Alumni Asosciation for the aid it renders Bulkeley throughout the year in promoting every worthy interest and objective of the school. This policy of constructive support and cooperation makes the Bulkeley Alumni Association not only an active but also a highly useful and important agency in our community life. The source of such inspiration and such worth while service is always to he found in the hearts of men lather than in the preamble and articles of a constitution. So in accounting for the excellent record of tin Bulkeley Alumni Association we find the origin of benefits and accomplishments in the fine spirit and loyalty of the individual members. Undergraduate students as well as alumni are grateful for the leadership of such men as C. C. Costello. Alfred Ligourie. Morris Lubchansky, Thomas E. Troland, Edward Eggleston. Edward S. Huntley, and Frank Joseph who have been the honored officials of the organization during the past years. The happy custom has become established of electing new presidents each year to guide the affairs of the association. The plan is certain to continue beneficial with so many capable and interested sons of Bulkeley roadv to “carry on.” SuIUfImj Alumni Association OFFICERS Thomas E. Troland, I resident Edward P.

AN the fall of 1923, one hundred fifty freshmen entered the sacred portals of Bulkelcy School. JJ Our timidity was magnified hy the upper classmen, who inflicted a good hit of hazing upon us. We soon came out of this fog, however, and elected Billy Rudd as class president. Under his guidance everything went along smoothly and w'e bought rings and almost captured the Pot Pourri prize. Incidentally, we were the last class to buy freshman rings. The following year, the one hundred that arrived got right down to business. We elected Philip Gray as our president and then took the prize away from the seniors in the Pot Pourri. breaking the ice for the first time since its inauguration. We also were the iron rulers of the three rooms 8. 9. and 10. hut many of our classmates were forcibly ejected because of their rashness. We tried hard for the class baseball trophy hut were beaten hy the seniors only after the hardest struggle ever fought on Morgan Park. For our third year, there were exactly one half of our original number with us. We elected Tom Davis as our president who was also captain of the football team. The Junior class was well represented in football and the season was very successful under Captain Davis. We gave a pleasing presentation in the Pot Pourri, featuring Mutt and Jeff, Frazier and Curtiss. Rathbun also played a very heavy role in this playlet. The next thing of importance was the Junior Prom which was very successful owing to the careful management of Davis. Then came the baseball season and two Juniors were to be seen cavorting on the regular nine. Locke was the mainstay of the pitching staff and beat Norwich at New London in a wonderfully played game. Joe Allen was the other regular and he was elected captain for the following year. We gave the play called “Slats,” with Thomas in the leading role, the profits were turned over to the school to buy a new flag. Now we arc in our final year and are dignified and austere Seniors. There are but fifty students left from our original number of one hundred and fifty. However, we cling zealously to Bulkeley traditions and at present are preparing for our Senior dance. We also expect to win the coveted prize in the Pot Pourri. Flip Gray led us through a fine season in football and track team is practicing daily. Frank Locke has been elected class president and so far has led us through all difficulties in admirable fashion. The Annual is our own production and the orchestra would not he at its best without the members of our class. Our class was well represented in the school operetta. Bulbul, and in fact we are in everything of importance. Thus we leave all our slogans and ideals for the under classes to follow— Farewell. (Claaa ftttipljmj 3T was a great day for Bulkeley School when the class of “27” entered its frowning portals. It was a great day when this same class left its smiling doorways to go forth and spread { the light of its superior wisdom upon a dull, cold but responsive world. The reader may think the above a bit presumptuous—but to illustrate:— In the spring of 1950, being told by Dr. Kerridge, the leading nerve specialist of New York City, that I needed a complete rest from the trials and tribulations of Wall Street, I ordered Captain Haskell to fit out my dirigible for a long cruise. Leaving New York on the 25th of June. I arrived at London the following day. The radio stations there were all broadcasting Lord Pendleton’s speech denouncing the lightness and frivolity of the modern age. After listening to this for a few moments 1 sent word to Captain Haskell to head straight for Glasgow. On the way 1 pondered over Pendleton and his actions. He had left the fair United States about ten years before, being convinced that the only country really capable of appreciating his great talent was England. (I guess he was right.) I stayed in Glasgow a week after finding out that my old friends Lenny. Jacques, Ortman, and Messick were located there. (They had combined to form the largest Whiskey Trust in Scotland—prohibition still being enforced in America.) From Glasgow 1 sailed direct to Dublin, in time to congratulate that fiery patriot, William I). Connor, on his stirring speech for a free Ireland, though I told him that he was in the wrong. He confided to me that Allen and Feeney were in lister raising troops for the cause. I left Dublin about noon and readied Paris during the “promenade” hour. Parisienne society was watching a review of Curie (our own Curtiss) and his mannequins. Curtiss had succeeded Coty, the famous modiste, and was showing the styles of “51.” He wore spats and looked very cute. I attended the Paris opera the same evening and recognized McGee, though he too had changed his name—Marge, and learned that he had been managing this great seat of art for the past ten years. The Opera was featuring the mighty American tenoric trio composed of Mr. Elihu Rathbun, Mr. Robert Brown, and Mr. Philip Gray. They closed with “Darling Nelly Gray” and as they sang my mind reverted to various incidents of the singing of the same song back in old Bulkeley assembly. While passing over Berlin the next afternoon, I listened to a series of lectures (Radio) by Professors Hick and Smiligin of the University of Berlin. They embodied a plea for making German the universal language instead of French and sounded very reasonable. My next stop was at Moscow. Here I bought a consignment of furs for the western world. The manager of the wholesale department was no other than Harold Dray, who I recalled had always been interested in furs. He was representing the firm of Davis and Olsen. The latter, he said, was up in Norway hunting bear. He also told me of the sad fate of Rakosky and Rodensky. They had been executed the previous day because of their Bolshevist preachings against the | powerful Czar Nicholas X. I had to pay toll to pass over Jerusalem. Lubchansky and Solomon were dictators of the new state of Judea. From here 1 marked my course for the States and two days later was sailing over New London, the capital of New England. Looking through the magnifying plate in the bottom of the car, I could see the huge electro-signs and read the most prominent of these: “The Republican candidates for the coming election—W'alter Grubner, Governor; Torbjorn Holt. Attorney General; Frank Locke, Comptroller; Thomas Reidy, Airway Controller; Benjamin Parker, Director of Education.” Wishing to see these now eminent men I had Captain Haskell moor the ship and was soon talking with Walter Grubner. We discussed old times and I traded notes with him. 1 learned that Frazier. White and Tooker had made considerable fortunes as corporation lawyers and that the former, after retiring from active business, had built a mansion with ceilings thirty feet high. Pennel was the head of the famous Mystic Oral School (here at last was a place where he could express his views and not be answered) and Woodworth wras his chief-of-staff. ably assisted by Skaling. I returned to New York satisfied both that my trip had accomplished its purpose and that my fellow students in the good old days at Bulkeley had all preserved the fine record of the Class of “27.” JAMES J. ALLEN (“Joe”) Classical Course Football (3), (4); Class Baseball (1), (2); Baseball (3), 4 ; Track (1), (2), (3); Annual Board (4); Pot Pourri (3); Junior Prom Committee; Junior Play Committee. “All's well that ends well seems to be the outlook that “Joe takes on life. He manages to combine a strong sense of humor with a genial disposition which has made him one of our most popular classmates. “Joe always can find some way to make a situation humorous even though it sometimes comes back to him as a boomerang, “Joe is also a fast man. both in sports and in private life. KOBERT BROWN (“Doc ) Classical Course Football (2), (3), (4); Basketball (2); Track (2), (3); Dramatic Club (3); Annual Board (4); Class Secretary (4); Pot Pourri (1), 2 , (4); Slats (3); Junior Prom Committee; Senior Dance Committee; Declamation Contest, Vice President. Here we have the illustrious “Doc, famed as an inveterate speaker and conqueror of the fair sex. We have not the slightest doubt that “Doc” has left many broken hearts behind him (ask any senior). Besides these two accomplishments he combines great ability as a football player and as a track man. “Doc has ability in one line though, he does not wear a belt. JOHN CALLAHAN (“Lefty ) Commercial Course Baseball 2 , (3), (4); Football (2), (3), (4); Class Treasurer (1); Pot Pourri (2). “Lefty’s height is no handicap to him. He goes where angels fear to tread. “Lefty has been known to open a book to study at times (they must have been “hard times ) ; but since the home study-card system was inaugurated we wonder whether he has improved or not. By the way, “Lefty played football, too. WILLIAM CARR OTHERS (“Bill ) Classical Course Junior Play; Bulbul (4� : Annual Board. lake a look at this lad. He has come to he I he most popular member of our class though In-lias only been with us for a matter of two years. Bill made his debut as a singer this winter, in “Bulbul. We were much surprised to see the extent to which some people will carry their enmities. WILLIAM I). CONNOR (“Groggy’) Classical Course Basketball (1); Pin Committee (1); Cheer Leader (4); Annual Hoard (4); Asst Football Manager (2); Junior Review (3); Junior Prom Committee; Regiment of Two (3); Dramatic Club; Pot Pourri (1), (2); Nautical Knot (3); Bulbul (4). “Groggy” is a man, every inch of him. Whenever the school runs into some difficulty, they call on “Groggy” to pull it out. Nevertheless, being a man does not make him sophisticated, for he isn't the least bit “uppish.” Wherever he goes he always makes a hit for he has a well-developed sense of humor. Oh, yes! “Groggy” is very popular with the younger set (of women). WILLIAM D. CURTISS (“Chink”) Classical Course Baseball Manager (4). “Chink” recently moved to Flanders. No, not in France, though there are possibly those who might wish it were. “Chink” is a small boy, but he can be heard everywhere. Me seems to be quite popular with the fair ones, and it is small wonder if he can josh them as he does us. Personally, we think that, though handicapped when it comes to size, he will come out on top. FREDERICK DAVIS (“Fred”) General Course Biology Prize (2); Football (1), (2), (3); Class Baseball (1), (2); Biology Club (2), (3) ; Annual Board (4) ; Junior Prom Committee; School Reporter (4) ; Slats Committee; Ring Committee (1); Radio Club (4). Would you ever suspect this fellow of doing wrong? “No,” you say. Well, you’re right. “Fred” is the best-natured fellow in the class. (For this we should get a good write-up in The Day.) “Fred” distinguished himself during the first years of school in his scholarship. We ought to “razz” him in one way or another, but we can't pin anything on him. THOMAS DAV LS (“Tom”) Commercial Course Annual Board (3), (4); Class President (3); Treasurer 4 ; Biology Club (2) ; Junior Play (3); Pot Pourri (2), (3), (4); Slats (3); Football (1), (2), (3), (4); Baseball (3); Class Baseball (1), (2), (3), (4); Senior Play (4); Prom Committee (3); Pin Committee (1). “Tom” brought his name into the limelight in the fall of 1925 by being elected football captain. “Tom” is a ban! player, and was one of the team’s most valuable assets. When it comes to other activities, “Tom' shines also, for he goes out for all the plays and contests that occur during the year. HAROLD S. DRAY Classical Course How many in this class are there who would not commit assault and battery on this? Words fail iis, to express our meaning. Many there are who would exterminate him with pleasure. Why, you say? Because he thinks himself a strong man and whenever an opportunity comes, he tries to show it. Needless to say, the ladies fall for this caveman stuff. KEITH EBBETTS (“Ebbie”) Commercial Course “Ebbie” hails from Noank, the town of wild and woolly clams, odors of old fish, and the movie center of this part of the world, outshining even Hollywood, according to “Ebbie.” “Ebbie” is the soberest and most dignified person we've ever seen, but despite this, there’s no telling what goes on outside of school. JOHN FEENEY (“Red.” “Jeff”) Scientific Course Football (3), (4); Track (4); Annual Board (4); Junior Prom Committee; Pot Pourri (2), (3); Slats (3); Bulbul (4); President (4). On the other side of this page you will encounter the countenance of one John Feeney, commonly know as “Red.” When “Red” adorns his visage with a frown, which, by the way, is not often, lie presents a truly frightful picture. Many a man on opposing teams has thought that he was contemplating assault and battery when confronted with his face. In spite of all his seeming willingness to do battle he is very good-natured. ROBERT MURRAY FLEMING (“Blondy”) Classical Course Pin Committee (1); Class Baseball (2). “Blondy” has often been heard to remark that he would rather see a good burlesque show than eat. Such things are liable to happen in the best of families. During the first part of the year “Blondy” displayed quite a poetic bent (Originality Plus), as most of us remember. He turned his poetry in on the installment plan, which seemed peculiar to say the least. Maybe he is planning to become a bard for a magazine which usually has its material in serial form. MORRIS S. FRAZIER (“Sky,” “Legs’) Commercial Course Pot Pourri (1), (3). “Alie ’ Lincoln was not the only tall and famous man in this country. “Sky” is just as lanky, if not more so. and his fame rests upon his coming to school late practically every morning. This, of course, makes him a permanent visitor at the seventh period. He also contributed his share to the Community Chest. It's a good thing that the Chest does not have to fit out fellows like “Sky,” for they would run out of material in merely clothing his nether extremities. PHILIP CRAY (“Flip ) Classical Course Football (1), (2), (3), (4); Track (2), (3), (4); Annual Hoard (4). Mystic should certainly he proud of this illustrious son. As an athlete he captained the football team. Besides being an all-around man of ability in athletics, “Flip is an artist and professes to be a “woman-hater, as to the truth of which we are unable to vouch. He is at least not averse to dancing. and he shakes a mean leg. WALTER R. GRUBNER (“Grubber”) Classical Course Budget Committee (4). “Grubber” first broke into our Hall of Fame by his high scholastic standing. Heretofore he has been relatively quiet, but during the last half year be has been getting more and more boisterous. Ibis may be due to some associations he has contracted. We are proud of him though, for he has passed all the college hoard exams so far. If anyone shows you something that “Grubber has done, you can be pretty sure that's it’s right. WILLIAM HASKELL (“Bill”) Classical Course Biology Club. There is one place where “Bill” does shine. That is the school lunch counter at noon. “Bill” says that lie believes in supporting athletics, consequently he eats as much or more than two others. “Bill has established the reputation of being the source of a long line (of bunk). Last summer Bill worked on board a ship. We wonder just what kind of a job he had? ARTHUR HICK (“Farmer' ) Classical Course Radio Club (3): Merchant of Venice (2). Although the World War has now been over for quite a number of years, “Farmer promises us that another will come along soon. In this next war “Farmer’ says that he will be the Commander-in-chief, or there will he something radically wrong. We all know how he has already distinguished himself in military tactics, being one of the foremost Boy Scouts in the city. TORBJORN E. HOLT (“Torb”) Classical Course Annual Hoard (4); Assistant Track Manager (3): Manager (4) ; Business Manager, “Bulbul”; Junior Review. “Torbie wasn't with us last year. No, he decided that he'd go South, and he cleaned up a few million and incidentally started the Florida boom, lie's another one of the old timers, hut lie's reliable, capable, and mysterious. At least, it's a mystery to us how he gets those marks. WILLIAM H. JACQUES (“Willie”) Classical Course Radio Club; Pot Pourri. “Willie sports a French name, but since he does not get along well with the French language, he must be pretty far removed. One good thing about “Willie” is that he has a car which will go almost anywhere. This is of great advantage to him since he can thereby go to many out-of-town games without expense to himself. He just dotes on telling funny stories, but most of them concern the happenings at the “Y . LOUIS KERRIDGE (“Louie”) Classical Course Junior Prom Committee; Senior Dance Committee; Bulbul (4); Pot Pourri (2); The Nautical Knot (3); Dramatic Club; Treasurer (2). “Louie” measures up to the necessary qualifications for a lady-killer, in fact, he's the class lady-killer. But for all that, lie's a hard worker, tackling everything he undertakes wholeheartedly, and for this reason he has sure been an asset to the class. But we don t have to do his shouting for him, since he can do all that himself quite well. WILLIAM LARI MORE (“Larrie”) Classical Course Larimore came here after the Christmas holidays from California. From all appearances, it seems that a pood many people are emigrating from the land of eternal sunshine to the “City by the Sound” (not meaning hy the noise). WILLIAM LUBCHANSKY (“Willie”) Classical Course Football (4). Who ever though of duhhing this husky fellow “Willie' ? When we first heard the name we looked to see some little w'eakling walk in, hut who should enter hut our beloved “Willie.” Nothing weak about this fellow. He practiced faithfully with the football squad this year, thus helping the team to gain many of its victories. ALBERT M ENG HI (“Ming ) Commercial Course Football (3), (4); Baseball (3), (4); Track (3). In the not-far-distant future we are likely to get considerable fame, for “Ming” is on the way to become a pugilist. This winter he knocked one of his opponents so cold, the said opponent thought that he had gone to the North Pole in his pajamas. “Ming starred in the football team for two consecutive years, proving to he one of our most valuable players. f RALPH J. MINUCCI (“Ling”) Commercial Course “Lings popularity with the fair sex is unquestionable. What feminine eyes could resist those handsome features and that dark wavy hair of his? Once we overheard him state that the reason he never goes to the movies was because he could always look in the mirror and get a good laugh. But good looks are no handicap, although many a good fellow has been ruined when he found he was the possessor of a handsome visage. But not so “Ling.” LAWRENCE MUISE (“Larry ) Commercial Course “Larry is another of our out-of-town hoys. He is a prize commercial scholar, hut as for French, well it s his Jonah. He never could understand French. For that matter, neither could we, so he is at least understood. His quiet ways have attracted much feminine company while riding to school on the car. HERMAN P. OLSEN (“Hym”) Classical Course Many things have happened to shock us this year, hut the thing that gave us the biggest jolt was the mustache that “Hym has cultivated. It was said that the era of facial adornment had passed, but from all outward indications, it seems that it has not. Despite this fact “Hym is a darn good fellow. PAUL ORTMAN (“Ortie ) Classical Course Baseball Manager (4); Junior Prom Committee; Slats (3); Pot Pourri (3). “Ortie in our estimation is what you call a good sport. One can go just so far with him and no farther, else you pay the penalty. His forte is matching pennies, at which he is very proficient, being able to win almost incessantly (as there are many to testify to, by the way). “Ortie became our baseball manager this year, though how he and “Chink manage to get along together is the eighth wonder of the world. BENJAMIN J. PARKER (“Benny ) Classical Course Track (3), (4). “Benny is another of our out-of-town boys, but he always manages to get to school on time, even on the stormiest days. He must have a system of his own. “BennyV’ favorite subject is French, for which we don't blame him, since he always manages to fool Mr. Hertell by pulling off a perfect recitation (another system of his own). BROUGHTON PENDLETON (“Pennie”) Classical Course Apollo had nothing on our “Pennie.” But can you wonder that he drives the ladies wild and strong men to tears, when you gaze at his picture? Though “Pennie” carries most of the jumping records around in his pocket, he says that there is one ambition he has never satisfied as yet and that is to figure out how many times he can be sure of winning at poker. JOHN PENNELL Classical Course Annual Hoard (4); Radio Club. Pennell is certainly one fast boy! To hear some of the stories he tells is to get a liberal education, with the accent on the “liberal.” Ilis exploits have become so famous that he has had an offer to publish them, it is rumored. His freedom of speech has. however, often been taken away from him, and he has been ostracized several times for it. But he’s a good fellow. JOHN G. PETTY (“Pet”) Classical Course Track (4). “Pet’s” arrival was the signal for the beginning of long and painful torture on the part of various members of the class. So now. we have found the explanation of all the smiles he gets as he goes down the street. Strong men are always popular. But we can comfort ourselves with the thought that mayhap they are laughing at him, instead. By the way, when will he get a haircut? RALPH RAKOSKY (“Ralph”) Classical Course Assistant Track Manager (2); Football Manager (4); Biology Club; Orchestra (2), (3), (4). Every orchestra must have a fiddler and Ralph takes that part to perfection in our famous organization, Ralph just loves to argue and it doesn’t matter to him on what subject the argument is waged. Whenever anything like this happens, there is no question as to who won the argument. By the way, does Ralph wag a mean tongue? (Yes 54, No. 1). ELIHU I. KATHBUN (“Belly”) Scientific Course Football (4). Behold, lhe famous Elihu, Eliliu Kathbun of course! Famous as a navigator of the Seven Seas, and as the place where the surplus stock of jelly-doughnuts go. “Belly” has visited every port in the world in search of better jelly-doughnuts, but he claims that there are none so good as those served in Noank, his home port. Quite right! “Belly” distinguished himself as a football player, too. THOMAS l KEIDY (“Mike” “Tom”) Classical Course Annual Hoard (4); Junior From Committee; Flay Committee (3); King Committee (1); Pot Fourri (3); Class Baseball (It, (2), (3); Senior Dance Committee (4). When “Mike” first entered the portals of this institution he was a perfect ringer for the “barefoot boy.” Ilis good old Irish grin has certainly brightened many otherwise dull days for us. During the latter part of the fall he got a job on the lunch counter, and now he no more bewails the fact that lie has nothing to eat. Though it's beside the subject, did “Mike” ever take any prizes for having the most freckles. PHILIP KICHMAN (“Phil”) Commercial Course Bookkeeping Prize. “Phil” is one of the brightest members of the class, especially, among the Commercial students, lb has distinguished himself as a scholar and as a good fellow. He is decidedly not a bore, for he can spring as many stories as the next fellow. He is well liked by everybody and we all wish him success. MORRIS RODENSKY (“Hymie”) Classical Course Kr! F.r! This handsome gentleman, is the bally, jolly Englishman, Rodensky. No, “Rodensky” does not sound like an English name, hut from “HymieV mode of speech one could easily mistake him for a native of Britain. In spite of this jinx, we think that “Hymie” will make a success in life. Here’s luck to you, “Hymie”! ISADOKE SAVIN Commercial Course Chesterfield is so far as we can ascertain by diligent inquiry, across roads somewhere between our fair city and Hartford. This crossroads has the advantage of having a filling station and general store. Hold! We're not trying to get you to move out there, but just trying to describe the kind of place Savin hails from. But from things we hear, it is quite a place in the summer. Savin is another member of our back-to-nature group. FREDERICK W. SKALING (“Fred,” Skates”) Classical Course Class llasrball (It, 12); Biology Club; Junior Prom Committee; Pot Pourri (1), (4); Slats (3). Did “Skates” ever try to beg or borrow anything from you? If he didn't, you’re the exception that proves the rule. Besides borrowing anything under the sun. he will also bet on anything from the actual number of blades of grass which will sprout up on the place next spring, to who is the most likely candidate for the insane asylum in Buenos Aires; but the worst part is that he generally wins. ICTOR SMILIGIN (“Vic”) Classical Course “Vic” is our most proficient exponent of the art of making the ivories go where they are intended to go, (not meaning African Ivories, of course). He also bowls a mean string. Never mind, Vic. someday you’ll be houseman. EARL SMITH (“Smitty”) Classical Course German Prize (2). “Little Boys should be seen and not heard.” That maxim fits “Smitty like a glove, for his reserve is unbreakable. “Smitty” believes in letting other People do the talking—Rodensky, for instance— and gathers whatever of wisdom happens to fall from other's lips, storing it up for his own use. Why is it that these small fellows corner all the gray matter? BERNARD SOLOMON (“Moses”) Classical Course When Solomon first came here he was christened “Moses, but why it was done is hard to say. Perhaps it s because he is so “wise. Nevertheless. he s a good sport (ask Skating) and is well liked by everybody. JOSEPH SL1SMAN (“Joe”) Classical Course There is one motto that “Joe” does not have to learn, and that is “to think before you speak.” Joe always does that. It is not very easy to befriend “Joe,” but when one does, he is a staunch and true friend. SAl L TANNENBAUM (“Salic”) Classical Course Annual Hoard (3), (4); Math Prize (1); Charles H. Jennings Memorial Speaker; Oratorical Contest (3). It seems impossible that anyone could stay out of school as long as “Salie” and get away with it, hut he did it. Though In hasn't condescended to attend school very often, we hear much of his breaking into the business world. Maybe he figures that an early start is the best. The best of luck to you, old man! HAROLD THOMAS (“Hal ) Commercial Course Junior Play Committee; Slats. Do not by any means get “Hal” Thomas mixed up with “Herb” Thomas, for neither of them will acknowledge tin slightest relationship. But you cun always tell “Hal by his smooth blond hair, (you know, the kind that girls like to rumple). Besides being one of our most proficient stenographers, “Hal” is very well liked. HOWARD TOOKER (‘Took”) Classical Course “Took” comes from a land of hills, sparkling waters, green pastures, sunny woodland glens, and odors; strong, vigorous, healthy odors; odors which step right up and knock one out. No, we’re not trying to sell any land or landscape, hut merely describing Lyme, as “Took' has endeavored to picture it to us. Some days it seems that the odors have taken effect on him. It is rumored that he will open up a general store there soon. WILLIAM WHITE (“Bill”) Classical Course Football Squad 2); Track Squad 13� , (4); Hud pvt Committee (4). “Bill s stunt is to try to pull off a perfect French recitation, hut lie doesn t seem able to get by with it. for Monsieur llertell always can find something to say about it. “Bill” still thinks that lie will be able to get off a one hundred per cent recitation some day. Yes. he drives a Ford, hut what of that? So many people do nowadays. FRANK WOODWORTH, JR. (“Woody”) Classical Course “Woody’s” a small fellow but just full of pep. Every once in a while he springs a set of funny stories which are all right sometimes and at other times . . . ? Though lie lives up near that popular institution on the hill, he does not seem to be seriously affected, if his queer behavior is traced to its real source, which seems to be from the effects of going to the Senior dance. JOHN YI RKOWIIZ Classical Course V urkowitz belongs to the wise portion of our class the makes wise-cracks). lie doesn’t say much, hut meditates considerably. We would like to know what his cogitations concern, but have never got up courage sufficient to ask him. He also drives a Ford to school. The story goes that one chilly morning, Yurkowitz was covering up his vehicle carefully, while a freshie was looking on solemnly. Suddenly lie remarked, “You needn’t cover it up. I saw what it was!” (Hlaiifl of 1929 CLASS OFFICERS Mourns St I.man, President Benjamin T. Marshall. Jr.. Vice-President and Secretary Aker, Surgest Allyn, Gurdon S. Anderson, Charles II.

[ Hjintnru of thr (Class of 1928 3 T was on one September morn three years ago when Bulkeley School was very highly honored with the class of 28. When the doors opened on that morning, more than five score of hopeful and ambitious hoys trooped in. A few minutes afterwards we were installed in our rooms and began our career as freshmen of Bulkeley School. After a few weeks we began to have a fair knowledge of the location of the various rooms and settled down to business, as it were. Our first work was to select our president. Earle Kdgecomh was chosen. It turned out to he a wise choice, as he led us safely and successfully through the year. The second and perhaps most important event came in the middle of the year—the Pot Pourri. We produced a play that took second prize only after a close, hard run with the Sophomores, who took first. At the end of the year we proved our worth as students when members of the Freshman class look some of the prizes offered in the various subjects. Thus our Freshman year ended. The next fall, with only a few missing from our ranks, we assembled again to begin our second year. This year the first thing we did was to elect Quentin Walsh as president. A few stalwart members of our class took up athletics. Needless to say they made first teams. Another very important event took place at Christmas, when the class presented Mr. Cook with a pair of book ends as a wedding present. With these and a few other minor events our second Near at Bulkeley closed. Now we are in our third year, and it is Hying fast. Our ranks have thinned out considerably since the day we were first made Freshmen. The majority, however, still remain and are plodding onward. So far this year no events of great importance have taken place. The midyear exams have come and gone, taking with them several members of the Junior Class. But now they are gone, and we have turned our attention to prepare for the Pot Pourri and the Junior Prom. These, beyond doubt, will he die most important events of the year, and then, after these, there remains only a few months before the end of our Junior year. There were many other happenings—some humorous, some sad. hut from the above outline of history is able to realize what a class the Class of 28 really is. one JoScpV S'-'Lcv vrv'L8 (Elass nf 1923 CLASS OFFICERS James S.

Dante (Hlaflfl nf ia2a AFTER taking al out three weeks lo become accustomed to tlie routine of tin school we finally settled clown to the hard four-year grind. We were well taken care of by our home room teachers who were the stern Mr. Canty, the equally stern Mr. Falconer, the mild mannered Mr. Hertell, and the well groomed Mr. Bain. Thus we started off on our careers as students at Bulke-iey School to imprint our names in the Bulkeley Hall of Fame. We began very auspiciously by buying football season tickets and thus supporting the team. We also had many members on the squad and one of these was a regular. In the first part of November, quarterly examinations were announced and we did our best to prepare for them. The report cards showed that many of our members had “flunked but nothing was done to them at the time. The second quarter was short because of the Christmas holidays and the mid-years were soon upon us. We made a good showing in these examinations and only a few of the delinquents were east out. In the third quarter, the survivors elected class officers and Lane was elected President, and Tiglie secretary-treasurer. We put on a very good play in the Pot Pourri and managed to gain second place. John Petrosky gave an exhibition of slight of hand tricks which was very pleasing to the large crowd that attended the performance. The fourth quarter finally rolled around bringing the baseball season with it. Two of our classmates were able to earn their letters which is highly commendable for first year men. Summing everything up, this was a very successful year. The second year found us rising in scholastic and athletic honors, c did not have as many students as in our first year hut we settled right down to hard work. We were represented in football by Watterson and Northrop who played center and fullback respectively. We passed the first quarterly examinations with much greater ease than in the preceding year as only the good students were left. The next thing of interest Wfff the Christmas holidays which came during the latter part of December. We have now finished the mid-years, received the report cards and are waiting for the worst. We elected Jim Watterson as our President because of his fine record at the school in both scholastic and athletic branches. We are now preparing for the Pot Pourri which we expect to win after vhc year’s experience in acting. We are w’ell represented in all branches of scholastic life and expect to have many members on the baseball team this spring.

Frank £hp (Ulaas nf 1930 Jjf AST September a large group of boys stood outside the entrance of Bulkeley School. It was the opening day and these boys were new Freshmen. When the doors were opened, we rushed madly in and raced about the school looking for our rooms. We were soon stopped however by some manly looking Seniors who directed us to the assembly. We were then addressed by Mr. Underwood, the headmaster, who told us the routine of the school, and gave us the rules we were to follow. We were led downstairs to our future class-looms and became acquainted with our home room teachers. October brought the football season and many Freshmen tried for the team and helped the regulars to condition by staying with the squad all season. W'e paid liberally for season tickets and showed that we were good sports. Quarterly examinations were then announced and according to advance reports from our upper classmen we had a hard grind ahead of us. I pon receiving the questions we decided that the advice was true. After the exams, report cards were given out but nothing yet has been done to those who flunked. F'inally the long awaited Christmas holidays arrived and we managed to forget all that we had been so careful to learn. Not long after our return to school the Mid-years arrived and by a supreme effort most of us were able to get by. The freshman class was also represented in the school Pot Pourri and the participants acted their parts well for beginners. At the start of the third quarter, class oflicers were elected by the survivors. Gordon Miepler was president and William Cornforth secretary and treasurer. Under the guidance of these officers we made ready for the annual Pot Pourri and every Freshman put his heart and iroul in preparing for the skit to be given by their class. We were still engaged in rehearsals when this book went to press. Thus more than half of our school year has passed. Epb iSiimattPHi|UPB IrONTINUING a custom .started last year the French classes staged a French play under the ex-pert coaching of Prof. Arthur I . Ilertell. This year's play proved to be even a greater success than that of last year. This year's production was a three-act comedy entitled “Les Romanesques and was written by Fdmond Rostand. The plot of the play was simple and effective. “Les Romanesques is the story of two romantic lovers just out of college. Their fathers, longing for a marriage that would bring about the union of their own .estates, feign haired to obstruct the course of true love and to precipitate the betrothal. Percinet and Sylvette, who have been reading “Romeo ami Juliet. fancy themselves the much-abused lovers of Shakespeare, ami fondly exchange never-dying vows over the vine-clad wall separating the two estates. Overhearing this idle talk, the indulgent fathers wire Straforel, a skilful hut harmless ruffian, to furnish excitement. On a fragrant moonlit night, Straforel enters the garden to kidnap Sylvette. At her cries the lover intervenes and heroically rescues his “beloved.” The plan succeeds; the betrothal ends the existence of the obnoxious wall, and none the wiser for the mock-heroic scene of which they have been the puppets, Percinet and Sylvette are triumphantly happy. The leisurely fathers miss the wall, long a material expression of their pretended enmity. Personalities and injuries bring on a war no longer feigned; the wall must be rebuilt; distance lends enchantment. These fathers must further vent their spite at the expense of their innocent children, who now share the grim pleasure of being enlightened. But the lovers refuse to carry out the marriage program. In the ensuing complications, scenes of lively and pretty dialogue, show the real inspiration of the author. Percinet and Sylvette are sad in their delusions; but Straforel. the universal genius and ex actor, reunites the two young people. The construction of the wall is abandoned, though probable indispensable, and again the gleeful lovers enter upon another happy period of life. Like most french plays, -it is clear in conception and in execution, beautiful and wholesome. From the beginning the attention was captured and held throughout to the end. Frederick Hyde as Percinet, the hero of the comedy, delighted the audience with his apparent sincerity, and deep feeling. Gurdon Allyn. taking the part of the young and beautiful lady, Sylvette, acted it out very well. John Farrell, as Pasquinot, the father of the hero, and Robert Ferguson, as Bergamin, father of the fair Sylvette, showed that they are ably qualified to carry on their duties in later life. Last but not least comes Samuel Weinstein in the role of Straforel, the ex actor and kidnapper. Weinstein carried his part well as did all the other actors. fBttlkplpg Annual Srriamatimt (CnntPHt 77[HE remarkable favor shown by both the public ami the student body in Bulkeley s revival of the old-time declamation jousts, is convincing evidence of the value and the enjoyment to be found in competitive public speaking. Two years have produced two high-grade and delightful programs in the school auditorium. The Bulkeley plan providing for practice and performance upon the part of all the boys attending school culminates in a big public contest when eight best speakers (including two students to represent each of the four classes) compete for first an� l final honors. The winners of these contests enjoy the distinction of being known as the Prize Speakers of Bulkeley School for the various years beginning with 1926. The name of each winner is inscribed on a beautiful silver cup known as the Bulkeley School Declamation Trophy Cup. The 1927 Contest attracted a large audience on the night of Tuesday, March fifteenth. Music added charm to the eloquence of spoken words, for the Bulkeley orchestra was present to play selections. The ability and performances of this organization are too well known to need special comment in this connection. Eight silver-tongued speakers (orators in the making) delivered selections of ten minutes’ length, each one in a manner that indicated not only a perfect possession of the printed page but a natural and appropriate expression of the author’s thought and feeling. The following is the list of the names of the contestants and the titles of the selections rendered: Robert O. Brown, Class of 1927 America and the League of Nations by Elihu Hoot. Harold Thomas, Class of 1927 The Annexation of Hawaii by Champ Clark. Murky Gruskin, Class of 1928 The Perils of the Nation by Benjamin K. Hill. Samuel Weinstein, Class of 1928 The Centennial of Voltaire’s Death by Victor Hugo. William Brockett, Class of 1929 Reply to Mr. Corry by Henry Gratton. Leo Kosowsky, Class of 1929 Selection from Bunker Hill Address by Daniel Webster. A. Moreland Cunningham, Class of 1930 Speech at Pan-American Exposition by William McKinley. George Rauscii, Class of 1930 The Contest in the Arena from Quo Vadis by Sienkiewicz. The decision of the judges resulted in a tie between Robert 0. Brown and Murry Gruskin. [ I Sttlbul, tijr ippratatt Niglitingalp AN the evenings of December 22ml and 23rd at the Bulkeley Auditorium, “Bulbul” was pre-Vil7 sented by the students of Bulkeley and W. M. I. This operetta was enthusiastically proclaimed as one of the best plays produced in the Auditorium. All but two of the principals had played in the last year's production, “The Nautical Knot.” The two leading players are the same as in that operetta. Mildred Farwell took the part of Princess Bulbul, the Persian Nightingale. She has figured in musical events for several years. The dainty perfection of her voice and acting was one of the outstanding features of the play. The principal male part. Prince Caspian, was taken by J. Newman Harrigan. He played the part of the prince, who in the disguise of a peddler came, wooed and won the beautiful Princess. The two newcomers among the principals more than justified their selection. Mynarda Bodel, as Lilia, the chief of the maids of honor, had a pleasing soprano voice and more than a little notable ability. The selection of Herbert Vogt was in the nature of a daring experiment, hut the director’s faith in the young star was justified from the earliest rehearsals to the last minute of the play. Vogt, for all his small stature and youth, was able to display all the fussy self-importance requisite for the peppery monarch. Vogt, who is only a freshman seems to have been the find of the show. The feminine role, that of Lady Ida, the court chaperone, was in the capable hands of Dorothy Gould. R. Broughton Pendleton played the part of Prince Caspian’s chum, Alain and Lilia followed in their respective chums' footsteps both in their vocal talents as well as their regard for each other. Dosay, the keeper of the royal cash box and Justo, the custodian of the royal spectacles, two parts of relatively minor importance, were acceptably filled by William Connor and Joseph McGarry. The two comedians played their parts well. One special part had been introduced into the play to fit an actor, Hyman Wilensky, even smaller and younger than Vogt, has been rewarded for his earnestness and downright ability by making him an understudy of King Iamit. Too much can not be said about those behind the scenes. The two coaches from W. M. I., Miss Marguerite Wickenden and Miss Marjorie Williams served with last year’s show, “The Nautical Knot.” The treasurer of the operetta was Torbjorn Holt and the sale of reserved seat tickets was held at Star Brothers under the direction of a committee of W. M. I. students. Mr. Pierce and Mr. Hamlin completed the coaching staff. Robert Fleming and John Feeney both acted in the capacity of stage managers and as it was their first time in this position, they did very well. Sfuninr Srbating Sram Above: H.

The debate was sponsored by the members of the Niagara Engine Company No. 1 and held in their engine house. About 200 members, in addition to their many guests, including tin mayor, city manager and prominent men of the city heard the debate. Preceding the forensic battle an elaborate banquet wa« served in an attractively decorated room of the engine house. Our loyal friend. James G. Hammond, acted as toastmaster during the ceremonies, introducing the Bulkeley disputants in his customary pleasing manner. The judges were. Professors Frank E. Morris. William B. Doyle, and Henry W. Lawrence. Jr., all members of the Connecticut College faculty. The resolution was as follows: Resolved that the City Manager form of government in New London should be abolished and the previous form restored. The Seniors upheld tfie affirmative and were represented by Robert O. Brown. Walter Grubner. William Connor, ami Arthur Hick, alternate. The Juniors upheld the negative and were represented by Robert Ferguson, Frederick Hyde, John E. Farrell and Francis McGuire, alternate. The Seniors were coached by Mr. Frank E. Hamlen. and the Juniors by Mr. Philip B. Pasquale. Both teams did themselves credit. The debate was a “nip and tuck ’ contest and furnished a continuous round of excitement and interest for all those present. The Niagara Engine Company has presented to Bulkeley School a large shield which is to be the official trophy commemorating these debates that are to be given annually hereafter under the company’s auspices. This shield is a beautiful, as well as an appropriate, gift to Bulkeley. It is approximately twenty-three inches high and twenty inches wide at the breast. There is ample space for attaching twenty-three plates bearing names of winners of the remaining contests.

(0rrhpatra ItjNDER the able leadership of Director Howard T. Pierce, the Bulkeley-W. M. 1. Orchestra is a very successful school organization. Although each year the orchestra is decreased by its graduating members, it continues in its path of musical achievement through the faithful service of Mr. Pierce and the cooperation of its new and remaining members. This orchestra plays some of the best classical music written; overtures, and symphonies, also many well-known musical comedies. In the second or younger orchestra, however, easier music is played. The second orchestra plays a large part in the life of the first and is really a branch of it; for in the former, young inexperienced musicians are trained in orchestral rendering in preparation for the work of the latter. The hard work and resulting success of these young musicians is duly recognized. Not only do they play for school dramatics, and school entertainments, but are in constant demand for their services at banquets, church and social gatherings in New London and neighboring communities. Its program so far this year is as follows: October 7. 1926—Entertainment at Methodist Church. October 22, 1926 -Teachers’ Convention at Bulkeley School. November 5, 1926—Banquet at Masonic Temple.

Sump. 18B8 JFroin Stoluruilti Vaatball While the nine has been doing better work than last year's team, yet it would not he amiss to say a few words about the playing of each individual player, commencing with Harris. Harris is, without a doubt, the best catcher in New London, hut his fault is in holding the hall too long before throwing it. Carroll's fault is in not watching bases, and is undecided while on bases. Bancroft, on first, is too unreliable, and hugs first too much. Congdon, on second, touches a runner with the wrong hand and stays too near second. Dray, on third, becomes rattled if he drops a hall. Crocker, short-stop, when he fumbles a hall generally throws wild. Belden, left field, does not assist third base and muffs easy flies. Saxton, center field, misjudges flies and cannot throw a ball. Chapman cannot run, either for a fly or around bases. In giving our ideas about the weak points, we do so that the members of the team can try and remedy them, and not with any idea of criticizing unjustly, but for their own benefit.

Haarball HE Bulkeley Baseball season of 1926 may be termed a success in the fullest sense of the V word. With but two men remaining from the two preceding years, the nine developed into one of the outstanding teams of the state. Facing a schedule composed of the best outfits in Connecticut, and a program as stiff as any Bulkeley baseball team lias ever faced, the squad settled down to business early in the spring. Many gloomy and unpromising prophesies were passed as to Bulkeley’s chance of having a team worthy of the name, but we took it all as fun, and did the thing that couldn't be done. On the day of the first game a team, green and untried, took the field for us against Deep River High School. Bulkeley’s much doubted team upset all dope and startled the critics who bad forecasted a disastrous season. Our fellows were on top at every angle of the game, and the score found Bulkeley an 8-2 victor. The second game found Bulkeley pitted against Ston-ington. Fielding and batting with a precision that spoke a defeat for many a team, the Bulkeley team emerged victor for the second time with a score of 6-2. It was at this game that the student body “woke up to the fact that Bulkeley really bad a team. From this time on Bulkeley never lacked whole-hearted support from the students. The critics now bad boiled down to the statement, “that a good beginning brings a bad end.” but those who knew had no fear for Bulkeley’s baseball record. Weaver High, from Hartford were our next victims. Bulkeley was on fire with a winning spirit and the outcome was never in doubt. After nine innings of batting rampage Bulkeley bad piled up nine counters while Weaver could count but five. The season was well on now. and Bulkeley wras yet to feel the sting of defeat. In our next encounter Morgan High furnished the opposition, but superb pitching by our staff and some remarkable fielding and batting turned the visitors back with an 11-1 score. The much discussed Hartford Public High team was scheduled to take our scalps. The Bulkeley team played its best to defeat this old rival and sent the Hartford boys home, a much disappointed group. In this grim contest Bulkeley crossed the plate 12 times while Hartford managed to gather in but two across. Locke’s air-tight pitching featured the game. Wilby from Waterbury followed but furnished only a workout for our boys, being forced to take a 7-2 beating from the Orange and Black. In our grand rival N. F. A. we found our next opposition. Norwich with a much-praised team bearing an excellent record, came down to the “man. Before one of the largest and most colorful crowds that has ever witnessed a scholastic event in New London, Bulkeley played as it can play when put to the extreme. Locke, pitching perfect ball, backed by an infield playing errorless ball, turned the up-river boys back on the zero end of the 1-0 score. Our next game took us to Providence, where, for the first time in the season, a defeat was administered to Bulkeley, the score being 3-2. In the early innings of the game Bulkeley played in a manner which assured us of a victory, but the trip by bus had produced its effect and the last four innings found Bulkeley away below par. The following week we again faced N. F. A. This time it was on their home field. Bulkeley found the Norwich twirler a rather mystifying gentleman, and aided by several pairs of slippery hands Bulkeley took a rather bad trimming. This statement is confirmed by the score which was 10-0. But every team has its day off (this was Bulkeley s). “After the storm comes the sun.” So it happened with Bulkeley, who now looked up and again saw light. After defeating New Haven Commercial by a 9-2 score we commenced to feel like ourselves. It was in this game that our outfielders displayed some real baseball, accounting for twelve put-outs by means of some brilliant plays in the outfield. Dwight Prep School traveled to New I ondon to take a crack at us, but the break went the wrong way for the visitors and Bulkeley easily won 11-2. Our last game was with Crosby High, but “finals, ’ held no fear for the Orange and Black. After a much less spirited game than we usually have with Crosby, we pulled the curtain on a 9-5 score for dear old Bulkeley. Throughout the season Locke bore the brunt of the pitching burden, twirling his curves to Ed Collins who was behind the bat. On first base we had Bunk Gorton, and just a little to his light covering second, Gino Montali could be seen gayly prancing around. Allen covered the third-stop in fine shape. At short Captain Gaetano held the colors and handled his position in a manner that clearly showed his three years’ baseball at Bulkeley to have been of value. In the zones behind the diamond standing among the daisies, we find Shurts. Decker, and Briggs who policed the open spaces in an irreproachable manner. The season had been far above expectations, and Bulkeley had a nine to be proud of. Coach Canty deserves no little credit for developing such a team and may modestly consider it a job well done. The team could fairly he put forward as a state champion, having won ten out of twelve games, hut forgetting championships, it’s another success tucked away in the annals of Bulkeley’s great athletic history. IFontball qitab. 192B Southall |fHE call for football candidates on the first day of school found a large number of aspirants out for the team. With but a few of the veterans reporting. Coach Canty settled down to the hard task of whipping a smooth-working combination into form. After a gruelling three weeks’ practice, the team tapered down to make ready for its first game. The coach had selected the strongest teams in the state for the schedule, but in spite of strong opposition the season was a decided success. The schedule called for the strong Meriden High outfit as our first opponents. The game was bitterly fought but Bulkeley’s lack of team work was very apparent. The team gave their best, but was finally forced to acknowledge defeat, not as bail as the score of 15-0 might indicate. The interval between this game and the next was spent in a strenuous effort to eradicate weaknesses and to develop a stronger defense. South Manchester was the first to feel our wrath and taste defeat. Bulkeley after an afternoon of strenuous playing, returned home with the bacon and a 7-2 score. A marked improvement was obvious in this game, as our defense shared the results of hard practice. Hartford Public High in Hartford was next, but weight and experience told on us. At the end of the first half the score stood 6-6 but the second half found Bulkeley pretty well crippled and the Hartfordites romped away at will. The final score was 19-6 for Hartford. New Haven Commercial furnished the next outfit to face us. Bulkeley was in just the right mood for a victory and went to work with a will. Menglii and Marshall were in fine form and tore through the opposition for continual gains. The afternoon was a decided success for Bulkeley the final score being 13-3 in our favor. Carmel Hall followed, but Bulkeley faced with the prospects of a drubbing from a much praised team rose to the occasion. The game was featured by Bulkeley's defense which refused to yield to the Carmel battering men. The final whistle found things as we wished, the score being 10-0. The schedule called for a trip to Providence to play I. Salle Academy. Bulkeley with a somewhat reorganized team, found the Rhode Island lads rather easy, forcing them to accept the short end of a 13-0 score. Allen’s brilliant playing accounted for a good many of our points and his slippery way will always stick in the memories of the La Salle players. Bridgeport High School was next on the program and it sure furnished the thrills. The Bridgeport outfit came here with a reputation of being a leading contender for state honors. The game was a battle from start to finish. First one team would rally, then the other, but both emerged on level ground with the score 7-7. We were greatly outweighed, but the team fought with an indoniit- able spirit throughout, which probably accounts for the fine showing. Our big game now appeared on the horizon. Bulkeley vs. Norwich. The game was slated to be played in Norwich and the home folks sure made the best of it, the whole city turned out. After four quarters of the most thrilling kind of football on a rather wet field, N. F. A. came out on top with the score 6-0. Bulkeley bad several chances to score but seemed to lack the power to put it across. The game was very hard fought and both teams were on the field “to do or die. A large crowd witnessed the game, and everything showed it to be a classic event. There was even an especially erected stand for the purpose of taking motion pictures of the battle. The last game of the season was against the East Hampton outfit from Long Island. Bulkeley, eager for revenge and still smarting from the Norwich beating, administered a 32-0 trimming to the New York boys. The team had gone through a very strenuous schedule and considering all. the season was a very creditable one. The team was headed by Captain Gray who played right end. On the other extreme Brown was stationed. Pendleton and Feeney handled the tackle positions and were responsible for many sudden ends, to various tactics employed by our opponents. The guard berths were ably swung by Lubchanskv and Kathhun. Both were men of rather large dimensions and accounted for manv windless lads. Steele was at center and played a very excellent game. In the backfield we have our four horsemen: Locke, Menghi, Allen, and Marshall. The four together formed a very agres-sive quartet and their runs around the ends brought many a spectator to his feet. Coach Canty must not be overlooked, for his untiring efforts to develop a team for the Orange and Black, are well worthy of praise. Without him the team would have been like a ship without a rudder. The season had not only been a success in games but something else was exhibited, which the school can well be proud of. It was the fine spirit of the forty boys who had so faithfully “stuck at if through the season, ami had remained on the squad right through to the end. Surely with such spirit as those boys exhibited, Bulkeley's athletic and scholastic future is secure. Jfnntball ©rant, 1926 Bottom Row, left to right: R. Palmer, J. Steele, F. Locke, W. Collins, J.

So far from being defunct was the team last spring that a few days after the annihilation of the baseball team on the N. F. A. grounds, the track men sunk their ancient rivals on their own grounds, leaving scarcely a trace. This was the only clear-cut victory over Norwich during the year of 1926. Bulkeley out-scored N. F. A. in seven of the eleven events, and blanked the up-river men in two of them. In the high jump four Bulkeley men, Crawford. Decker, Pendleton, and Locke, had cleared the bar when the last N. F. A. representative was eliminated. Again in the mile run, Norwich got no chance to score. A little Bulkeley freshman, Johnny Parks, tired out the Norwich pacemaker and then went on to win, a few yards ahead of his team-mate. Belden. Captain Olsen, who had won the half-mile shortly before in hollow fashion, made no attempt to win the mile and breezed in third. The first N. F. A. man to finish was hard put to get fourth place. The dashes were nip and tuck affairs between Armstrong and Courbois of Norwich, and; Phip Gray of Bulkeley, with the local flyer always in the lead. He won the hundred in ten and a fifth, and was first in the furlong, hut was disqualified for cutting in. Norwich runners had him nicely pocketed for most of the quarter-mile, but Joe Allen and Johnny Parks forced Courbois to extend himself to the limit early in the race, so when Phip started out around the pack, there was no one left to give him a race. Marshall picked up a second place in the hurdles, an event for which Bulkeley has no equipment, Pendleton had a field day in the field events, and Gentilella went into a tie for first in the pole vault, in spite of a sore leg. In general, a good time was had by all. The prospects for the spring track season of 1927 look even better. By graduation the team lost only Captain Olsen, a fine half-miler, and Crawford. Decker, Collins, and Wilson, second string men in the field events. Young Parks has moved to Philadelphia, hut Belden, his running mate last year, seems perfectly capable of handling the mile, with a little assistance from Woodworth, Parker, and some of the lower classmen. Indoor practice once a week at the Y. M. C. A. this winter has brought out considerable new material. Chapman and Sullivan look capable of extending Kerridge to the full in the half. Quentin Walsh, who did not run last year, will be out for the quarter with Locke and Munsch. Donohue, a good high-jumper, Buonano, Hedden, Morrisey, and Aguiar are a few of the lower classmen who will be up with the winners before they graduate. Steele and Petty, who transferred U� Bulkeley last fall, both have talents that will be valuable to the Orange and Black this spring, Steele with the weights and Petty in the jumps. Donohue and Petty have been pushing Pendleton in the high jump indoors, and Petty seems able to make the best broad jumpers in the locality look to their laurels. Most of the events are well defended by more than a single star. In the dashes besides Captain-elect Gray, Marshall, Petty. Walsh, and perhaps Crandall will give trouble to the opposition. Gray, Steele, Marshall. Pendleton, White, Feeney, and Captain Gray’s brother, Richard, are promising weight men. The one event scantily fought for is the pole vault. Johnny Gentilella has so far been unable to develop other vaulters to back him up. The indoor season closes with an interclass meet at the Y. M. C. A. on February 18. The outdoor schedule is not yet complete. Only a meet with South Manchester has been definitely arranged. Manager Holt is trying to come to terms with N. F. A., which does not seem very anxious to tackle Bulkeley in track, and he is angling for a third dual meet. It is hoped to have a schedule of three dual meets and to attend either the Yale or Brown Interscholastics.

Taxi Driver—“What do you mean by ‘Home, James!’? This is a public taxi!” Bulkeley Patron—“Oh, yes, I should have said, ‘Jesse James!’” Mr. Hamlen—“If I said I was handsome, what tense would it be?” Curtiss—“Pretense, Teacher Love Pretense.” STUDENT LIFE His Betrothed I “Dearie, I'm going to be in an amateur theatrical and I have to wear tights.

Mr. Cook—“Plural for whim?” Haskell—“Women.” Mrs. X—“Wasn't Fred's graduation a pleasant surprise?” Father—“Hell, no, we've been expecting it four years.” Did you hear this one?

Foster is designing cradles now, he developed such a good crib system. We never yet heard of an absent-minded professor who forgot to flunk anybody. Locke wants to know: “If a seedling is a young seed what is an inkling?” “So you know as much as the prof?” “Sure, he as much as said he couldn't teach me anything.” “What kind of men go to N. F.

I found that it had became nessarcary to read more books on literature of the right sort and get aquainted with the author's and their writings which would greatly Cultivate the brain memhrains in a manner to enable myself to write and read more inteligent which enables me to feel more homelike when writing or otherwise at ease. Take that wonderful book of “Hamlet” for instance. That is just as sweet of reading as any one would desire. He has some wonderful pomes in their such as “To be or not to Be.” Who would like to read a sweeter and more suitable verse than that. Shakesphere explains the story as he goes along in such a manner until one would have to get down hard to thinking, and I humble think that this gave me greatter desirous in mastering my last year of English. A Freshman’s brain is only as strong as its weakest think. 1st Stude—“Are you reading Artists and Models?” 2nd Stude: “Oh.

Its the dead silence they keen in there.” Are professors so absent-minded because their fathers were plumbers? “Skaling is very pathetic, isn't he?” “Yes, he touches me a lot.” Stude—“Doc, why does that cavity feel so big when I touch it with my tongue?” Dentist—“I guess it is just your tongue's natural tendency to exaggerate.” “Johnny, please be a good boy.” “All right, give me a nickel.” “What, a nickel?

He trumped his partner's ace. And was buried with simple honors. “Get out of class and stay out! ’—So he went on another of Cook's tours. GEOMETRY IN THE UPPER CLASSES The shortest distance between two pints is the width of the trousers' seat. No one is square in an eternal triangle. A hypotenuse is absolutely worthless as a pipe cleaner. Your angle is always the right angle. To describe some circles perfectly requires the use of some perfectly unprintable words. Parallel lines never meet, and if they did they probably wouldn't speak to each other. We wish all chords were lost chords. An equilateral triangle is probably three horses playing “Puss in the Corner.” NON CAMPUS MENTIS At the seventh period at 3 p.m.: “Hey, you got any demerits?” “Yeh.” “That's funny!

Dean—“Don't you know who I am?” Stude—“No, but if you can remember your address I’ll take you home. Rathhun—“How much is a ticket to Providence?” Agent—“$3.70. Rathhun—“Gosh, everything is high here. Why, over at Mystic they're only $2.88.” Bulkeley—“Will you remember me when I'm gone? W. M. I.—“How long are you going to be gone: Mr. Kcrridge (to Louis who had been caught sneaking in at 3 A.M.)—“Good morning, child of the devil.” Louis (very sotto voice)—“Good morning, father.” “Look to the Hills” for the High School. Mary had a little pet 'Twas neither lamb nor gopher But Mary had her little pet, upon the parlor sofa. . “Ma. I wish you wouldn't call me your little lamb when the folks are around.” “Why not, Eddie?” “Aw, it makes me feel so sheepish.” Editor—“Did you write these jokes yourself?” Me—“Yeh.

Let’s tell some jokes.” Mr. Hamlen—“No, let's not jest now.” Richie—“Papa, did Noah have a wife?” Mr. Smith—“Why certainly. Joan of Arc. Don't they teach you anything up to Bulkeley?” Principal—“So you got my letter; then why are you here?” Skaling—“Well, you see I read the inside first and it said, ‘you're expelled’ and then I read the outside and it said, ‘return in five days'.” “Why, I knew you when you were in short pants.” “Yes, and I knew you when you wore three-cornered ones.” 8itlkplpt| Srljoal gwtge 1920-1927 floum tijr 3ftrlb March, march on down the field fighting for Bulkeley, Break through the Norwich line their strength to defy.
