GRANDFATHER TO GRANDSON “Passing On Bulkeley Traditions” Sidney H. Miner, President Board of Trustees, Class of 188(5. Waldo Miner, Jr., Harbor School 1935, Son of Waldo Miner, Jr., Class of 1917, Who Breaks Ground for 1934 Addition. uj , - - - aj W BULKELEY SCHOOL 1926 19 3 4 DEDICATION To CARLTON SMALL, with heartfelt gratitude for his eleven years of gu idance, the class of nineteen hundred and thirty-four dedicates this volume of the Whaler . His unselfish devotion to the welfare of Bulkeley school has won for him the respect and admiration of the entire student body. IN APPRECIATION OF Alfred Ligourie, City Editor of the New London Day, a graduate of Bulkeley School in the class of 1901, and president of the Alumni Association in 1924-1925. His high scholastic record at Bulkeley now finds an appropriate supplement in his enviable record of achievement in the newspaper field. We present “Al” Ligourie as the exemplary type of City Editor, because in him education and knowledge have fostered the richer faculties of good judgment, a zeal for accuracy, and a sincere appreciation of the artistic elements of life. Having access, as he does, to the library and files of New London’s oldest newspaper and being a constant and interested observer of all present day interests and activities at Bulkeley School, “Al” is eminently qualified to become Bulkeley School’s official historian. IN RECOGNITION OF Cornelius C. Costello, merchant, town coui’t judge, and legislator. In every capacity, public or private, he is the same efficient, courteous gentleman. Mr. Costello has twice been chosen to represent the eighteenth senatorial district in our Connecticut Assembly—first in 1921-1923 and again in 1933-1935. He has also held the position of judge at the town court of Groton for the last thirteen years. He graduated at Bulkeley School in 1898 and represents with honor and distinction the Bulkeley men who have become successful merchants. Although Mr. Costello gives the maximum cf time and attention to business and to civic affairs, he is an active supporter of his alma mater and belongs to the cabinet of past presidents of the Bulkeley Alumni Association. “Connie” as his friends are wont to call him. is unequaled and unsurpassed as the raconteur of interesting stories about boys and men. His appearance at a school assembly is the guarantee of a rich fund of anecdotes which never fail to combine wholesome philosophy with sparkling humor. FOREWORD The class of nineteen hundred and thirty-four presents this book to the faculty, students, and friends of Kulkeley School with the following purposes in mind: To—record fifty-five glorious years of progress at Bulkeley. To—create a treasure house of reminiscences of the cherished scenes, the various activities, and the fellowship which made our days at Bulkeley so happy. “A thing of beauty is a joy forever.” We hope that we have made this book a thing of beauty.

He was born December 22, 1799 and he died December 19, 1849. He left an estate valued at something less than $25,000 to found a secondary school which should be free to boys of New London. In his will he provided that the funds should be kept intact until the trustees, who were named in the will, would decide that they were justified in the erection of the school. The board of trustees decided in the year 1870 that the estate had increased enough, in its careful management, to allow operations to begin. Accordingly, plans were secured from the famous architect, Mr. Eidlitz, and then the city presented a plot as a site. The main study-hall provided for forty-two boys. The school was opened in September, 1873 with Eugene B. Collester as principal, who had graduated from Amherst College in the preceding June. Mr. Collester resigned in 1880 and retired to Minnesota. The next principal was Ely R. Hall of the class of 1872 of Yale University, previously a teacher in Hopkins Grammar School. Mr. Hall remained in charge of the school until 1888 when he moved to Woodstock, Connecticut, to become the principal of the academy of that city until his death in 1920. The conduct of the school was then placed under Mr. Towne who presided until 1922. Bulkeley School discontinued the practice of a four-year curriculum for a three-year course in 1884. However, in 1910 the school readopted its original plan. Bulkeley School is the successor of the New London Grammar School which was founded in 1713, and maintained jointly by the town and the income of a fund established by Robert Bartlett. Nathan Hale was one of the masters of this school which was in 1873 discontinued in favor of Bulkeley. The legacy of this school was increased by various gifts and donations, notably from Asa Otis, Henry P. Haven, and George F. Tinker.

General Science and Biology. “A man severe he was, and stern to view, I knew him well, and every truant knew; Well had the boding tremblers learn’d to trace The day’s disasters in his morning face; Full well they laugh’d with counterfeited glee At all his jokes, for many a joke had he; Full well the busy whisper circling round, Convey’d the dismal tidings when he frowned; Yet he was kind, or if severe in aught, The love he bore to learning wras in fault; , While words of learned length and thund'ring sound, Amaz’d the gazing rustics rang’d around, And still they gaz’d, and still the wonder grew, That one small head could carry all he knew.” —Goldsmith. Page twenty-nine THE WHALER History of the Class of 1934 We are in the final year at Bulkeley; entering into the last days cf our all too short high school life. It has been a beautiful chapter in our career, one that we shall never forget and one that we sincerely believe has been helpful, guiding, and appreciated. Let us drift back to that first day when we entered Bulkeley as sheepish freshmen, gazed with reverend awe at the traditional halls, and started out to prove our worth. As are all freshmen classes, we were entirely humbled by the upperclassmen in inter-class sports; we weren’t the invincibles we had thought ourselves. However, not successful in sports, we balanced our budget by winning the Potpourri. Arthur St. Germain and Albert Tanenbaum were president and vice-president respectively of this first year. Ah; to the high peaks of “sophomoredom,” lead again by Arthur St. Germain. Again dismally we failed in football and basketball; oh, well, perhaps we weren’t fated to be athletes. But, wait, once more our histrionic value has been appreciated and we find ourselves winners of the Potpourri. What? we won the baseball championship; well stranger things have happened, but they’re few. A happy year; a successful year. And so up the ladder a rung to impudent juniors. As officers we elected two gridiron stalwarts; “Mace” Levine and James Logioco. Well we must bow our heads in shame, in fact in the deepest humiliation, for we lost not only in sports but also, despite a worthy effort, the Potpourri. However, in condolence, we have the fact that several of our classmates have formed the nucleus of our varsity squads. And now to seniority, the acme of our four laborious years. Again “Mace” Levine was given the honor of leading us, with Joseph Freeman as vice-president. But a dreadful blow had been struck—just when we were about to mop the field with our heretofore football conquerors, no schedule was arranged. Just wait till we reek our vengeance in basketball. We can, however, proudly point to the fact that nine of this year’s exceptional football team are seniors, and that some of them will continue to carry the Tiger’s banner in other sports. They have opened a new addition at Bulkeley, new rooms, new gym, and strange how symbolic it is of our career at Bulkeley. It has opened new rooms of thought, new culture of mind and body and has instilled in us an enthralling incentive to make Bulkeley as proud of us in future years, as we are of it today. Commencement hovers near, our departure looms somberly and we can sadly visualize the dissolving of “the gang” on the paths of humanity. Good-bye Bulkeley............. Vayc thirty-two 19 3 4 To A Loyal Friend MRS. ELIZABETH McINNICH The class of 1934 wishes to acknowledge the wide-spread esteem for one whose influence reaches beyond the bounds of praise. She has, for the last eight years, done much by precept and example to promote that mutual respect and understanding which is the basis of all group organization and good will. In her official capacity as custodian of the cafeteria. Ma” has always aimed to provide us with tasty, wholesome food. May she always enjoy the best of health to “carry on” with that unselfish spirit of service which has won for her the esteem of all Bulkeley men. Page thirty-three THE WHALER Class Prophecy On the fourteenth day of the third month in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and forty-nine, the good ship “Movie Star” embarked from the glamorous metropolis of New London on a globe encircling cruise. As I went down lower State street my attention was attracted by the fascinating fruit frontage of Tagliaferri and Mariani’s market. Patrolman Ray came up and helped himself to a razzberry—from Mariani. As I stepped off the curb a taxi guided by Morgan Smith whizzed by. Inside were Agen and Loiacono—apparently sleeping off the effects of a busy night. So I came in sight of the bustling dock. Watson and Watson, accosted me. They desired to know if I had my ticket for the journey and I immediately flashed before their frenzied eyes the pasteboard. As I bent to pick up my valise, I discovered that it was being born off by Cooper and Tanenbaum, porters par excellence. I followed them wearily up the gangplank whereupon I was unceremoniously conducted to the stateroom by the dashing steward, DeMaggio. Interested in the hubbub of loading, I took my place at the rail. I noticed Fones and Hilsberg supervising the loading of their personal supply of perfume in two colossal hogsheads. At the other end of the dock Petrosky was coralling his bevy of Russian beauties—fresh from a two-dav stay on Broadway. With a sonorous blast from Capt. Horan’s tug boat whistle we headed out to sea. Upon request pursuer St. Germain provided me with the passenger list. From it I learned that the card sharks Ebersole and Reilly were abroad, also Knie, so I sewed my purse in the lining of my coat. Also it appeared that J. T. Sullivan was leading an African expedition composed of Donnee, the Sanborns, and Gaskell. They were looking for a mate for Schwartz, something along the line of an Anthropoid. Dean was along also: he wanted a gold pheasant to breed with a Plymouth Rock, to get a bird that would lay gold bricks. I began to prepare for the evening’s entertainment in the ship’s saloon. The program for the evening was as follows: Kerridge, bass, (world’s basest), Mulvihill and Walker, the two black crows, with Azars’ “Antag-anonisers,” featuring Ransom, Glasbrenner, Wojcoski, and Missarki. Also at bottom of the program was italized Rafferty—bartender. Nothing of importance occurred until we reached France. Interested in wine making I visited the pheasant’s wine yards where Gelinas, Mallove and Leino, with their buxom wives, were peeling grapes. Our next stop was Arabia. There we saw the Arabian knight, C. P. Smith, charming his harem with tales of his mighty achievements on the field of battle at Bulkeley. Levine and Logioco were snooping around the harem, trying to get the inmates to Lux their undies daily. On the next lap of our journey, we almost met disaster. A yacht, piloted by Messer and Montague, barely missed crashing us. It seems that each thought the other was at the helm. However, we reached Greece safely. Here the Olympics were in progress. Collins, Spinner, Freeman, Bron-itsk.v, and L. Williams were entered. Beaudro was featured in the hundred yard dash. Perry and Phillips had the peanut concession, but Brown was trying to chisel in. R. Williams was acting as announcer. I was tired of sailing by this time so I took up my residence in Greece. Page• thirty-four 19 3 4 THE WHALER AGEN, MORTIMER “Morty” Commercial Course C’ass Football 1; Baseball 2; Class Baseball 1, 3, 4; Class Basketball 1, 3, 4; Varsity Basketball 2. “Morty” has achieved fame at Bulkeley for his pitching ability. Although he is not a varsity man, he is of that calibre. A loyal supporter of Bulkeley, his ancient but animated “Chewy” is often seen at out of town games. Ti � • AZARS, JOHN “John” Commercial Course Band 2, 3; Orchestra 3; Glee Club 2, 3, 4. “John” has a big reputation as a good natured fellow and even our hard-hearted teachers find it difficult to say that he is anything but a willing worker and an intelligent student. And you should see him toot his piccolo (“see” is used advisedly)! BAXTER, RICHARD M. “Flip” Classical Course Tennis 3, 4; Potpourri 3; “See You In the Funnies”; Hi-Y 3; Treasurer Hi-Y 4. Starting slowly, “Flip” has progressed with amazing speed. Rather bashful as a freshman he blossomed out in his last year or two as an expert tennis player, actor and student. •• •• BERRY. PHILIP “Phil” Classical Course Class Treasurer 1; Class Football 1, 2; Baseball 1, 2; Class Baseball 3, 4; Class Basketball 2, 3, 4. Girls, just take a look at him and you will agree with us that he is just about the best looking fellow that ever stepped out of our dear school. He’s a very quiet and modest fellow and immensely popular with the faculty. Phil’s a sure bet to make good. BEAUDRO, WILLIAM GEORGE “Bill” Classical Course Whaler 3, 4: Editor-in-Chief Whaler; Potpourri 3; Hi-Y 3, 4; Pres. Hi-Y 4. Here is the chief reason for the success of the year book. “Bill” spent many a night home when the other fellows were out, doping out the reason for this and that. His untiring efforts were plainly noticeable to both student and faculty. • • • • BLONDER. ISAAC “Izzy Classical Course Band 1, 2, 3, 4; Orchestra 4. “Izzy” is one of those quiet youths who mind their own business and keep plugging at their work. He has been a feature of our band for four years. He takes his work to heart, any mark below eighty stirring him to renewed efforts. A thinker and a worker. BRONITSKY, IRVING “Irv” Classical Course Class Baseball 1, 2, 3; Track 1, 4; Cross Country 1, 2, 3, 4; Capt. C. C. 4; Class Basketball 1, 2, 3, 4. On a cold fall afternoon you’ll see “Irv” running around in his B.V.D.’s just outside of school. “Irv” is the captain of the Bulkeley Hill and Dalers and a good one at that. “Irv’s” ambition is to beat a fellow like Cunningham. BROWN, RUSSELL Commercial Course “Russ” Class Football 1, 2, 3. 4; Class Baseball 1, 2, 3, 4; Circulation Manager of Whaler; Jr. Prom, and Senior Budget Committee; Class Basketball 4. Here is a fellow whose ready smiles have made a big impression in our hearts. “Brownie” is one of the best students in the school. You can bet “Brownie” will be a success. THE WHALER CABLES, GEORGE “George” Commercial Course Varsity Club 2, 3, 4; Track 1, 2, 3, 4; Cross Country 1, 2, 3, 4; Co.-Captain C. C.; Swimming 1; Class Basketball 1, 2. “George” has been with us off and on for four years. As you will notice “George” has made quite a name for himself as a runner. He’s an annual picture at Manchester on Thanksgiving Day, carrying off ribbons, banners and trophies of all descriptions. COLLINS, WILLIAM “Bill” Commercial Course Varsity Club 3, 4; Football 2, 3, 4; Track 2, 3, 4; Senior Budget Committee; Class Basketball 2. Here is a runner of genuine ability, an asset to any man’s track team. If you see a streak burning up the cinders on the 440 (or a handsome chap cheering vociferously for Bulke'ey) well—that’s “Bill”. COOPER, SAMUEL “Sammy” Classical Course “Sammy” is a class room wizard. Spurning all extracurricular activities, he has devoted himself to study (with what must be gratifying success) after the principles of the old school. s a s CROWLEY, CORNELIUS “Neil” Commercial Course Varsity Club 3, 4; Football 3, 4; Class Football 1, 2; Class Baseball 1, 2; Baseball 3, 4. “Neil” has won the respect of the school during his stay at Bulkeley. He is a fellow of few words but he accomplishes a great deal. On the gridiron and especially on the diamand, his work has been outstanding. If there were more people, who, like “Neil”, made their way with action rather than deeds, this would be a better world to live in. 19 3 4 THE WHALER r t mm m m DEAN, HARRY “Deanie” Classical Course Class Football 1, 2, 3, 4; Baseball 2, 3, 4; Class Baseball 1; Junior Prom.; Senior Commencement. Harry has been a great help especially in the Inter-Class League. Besides his ability in sports “Deanie” is a business man of the first order. DiMAGGIO, THOMAS “Fat” Classical Course Glee Club 4; Assistant Manager Baseball 2, 3; Manager Baseball 4; Dramatics 2. “Fat” has the distinction of being one of the big small fellows. It was hoped that he would reduce while chasing foul balls in his capacity of assistant manager. But he spent his spare time eating peanuts, and offset the exercise. DODGE, WILLIAM “Bill” Commercial Course Swimming; 3, 4; Interclass Baseball 2, 3; Class Foot-ball 2, 3. Dodge is possessed of one of those unquenchable good natures which are of the spark of lasting comradeship. Rough and ready four years ago, “Bill” is still ready but not so rough. It is a happy party that numbers him among its members. DONNEE, TOM “Tom” Commercial Course Commercial Arithmetic prize; Assistant Manager of Football; Track 3, 4; “Dulcy”; Dramatic Club 4; Rifle Club 3, 4; Swimming 4; Secretary of Whaler 4; Silver Typing Pin; C. T. Certificate. There are few who can do more with a rifle than I Tom. He blasts the centers out of targets with reckless abandon, and his trained fingers sure can run around the keys of a typewriter. THE WHALER DRYDEN. JOHN “Tex” Commercial Course “Tex” is a lithe, wiry fellow, a wonder on the trapeze and flying rings. He is also somewhat of a contortionist. (One night he got himself nicely knotted—and had to have his father untangle him.) EBERSOLE, WILLIAM “Red” Commercial Course Football 2, 3, 4; Varsity Club 3, 4; Track 3, 4. “Red” is one of our most versatile football players. He’s been at it for four years and is able to play almost any position. He gets along well at school. WTS T pni J .tt U FLAHERTY, JAMES Commercial Course Jim Tennis 4. “Jim” has journalistic leanings. He may be found any afternoon dashing about the “Day” office. He swings a mean racket too, when he takes a little time off. TS T� •i -� •; FONES, JACK “Jack” Classical Course Class Football 3; Class Baseball 2; Swimming 3; Class Hockey 2; Hi-Y 3, 4; Soph. Hop. Jack is an artist of no mean ability. His caricatures of the Gertrude, Hamlet, Rosencrantz, and Guilden-stern of Shakesperian fame had the school in an uproar. His posters are perhaps the reason for the success of dancing at Bulkeley. FRASER, GORDON H. “Gordon” Commercial Course Cross Country 1, 2, 4; Class Baseball 4. Gordon is a transfer from the “Waller Street Institute”. However, that can not be held against him as he has entered heartily into the affairs of Bulkeley, taking a crack at cheer leading among other things. FREEMAN, JOSEPH “Joe” Classical Course Secretary 3, Vice-President 4; Varsity Club 3, 4; Track 3, 4; Declamation Contest 1; Student Council: Hi-Y 4. “Joe” is popular, unassuming and hard working. His efforts with the javelin have swelled Bulkeley track scores for the last two years. While scholastically—well he’s tops. Proof of his ability are the numerous offices he has been honored with. U dU 11 GASKELL, WINFIELD “Gaskell” Classical Course Rifle Club 2, 3, 4. Gaskell has sharpened his eye shooting crab apples off the trees of Mystic, anyway, he's an expert shot. His Ford has carted Bulkeleyites (and W. M. I.—perhaps) over hill and dale to many foreign battlefields. VT « U It Ul GELINAS, EDMUND “Eddie” Classical Course It is pretty hard to get “Eddie” to talk about himself, but he has the “goods”. After school hours he generally helps his father, so we see little of him. We do know that he is able to get wf 19 3 4 THE WHALER GLASSBRENNER, JOHN “Glassy” Commercial Course Orchestra 1, 2, 3, 4. As “Glassy” is from the hinterlands we have not had much opportunity to observe his interests. However, the success of his musical efforts indicates his leaning. Look for him to be with a symphony orchestra in ten years or so. HANSEN, HENRY “Swede” Classical Course Library Prize 1; Rifle Club 1. “Henry” is an inborn tinkerer. His house is full of contraptions—most of which serve a useful purpose. He has used his tinkering ability to good effect many times in rigging lights and scenery for Bulkeley plays—and he is ever willing to contribute his services. HAYES, PAUL Commercial Course “Paul” Cross Country 4. Paul got tired trying to beat Bulkeley in Baseball and Cross Country for Tech. So he decided to get aboard the band wagon and help Bulkeley beat Tech. His transfer is ample evidence of his good judgment. HENDEL, HARRY “Harry” Classical Course This fellow is just about the toughest plugger in the class. He is always engaged in some business enterprize and never takes second place. “Harry” is also somewhat of a jokester, often sending classes into spasms of laughter with a well-timed remark. HILSBERG, GEORGE Classical Course “George” Track 2, 3; Manager of Track 4; Potpourri 3; Declamation Contest 1, 2. George is a fine orator. His work in the yearly Declamation Contests won the approval of the whole school. The speech he made at the Christmas assembly on the occasion of the presentation of a bottle of “port” to Mr. Hertell was a classic. HIRSCHFELD, FRANK “Hershey” Commercial Course Track 3, 4. Frank hails from the metropolis of New York. He is a lad of great possibilities. But Frank possesses one of the best personalities in our class, having won surprising popularity in the last two years he has been here. HORAN, THOMAS F. “Tom” Classical Course Potpourri 2; Dramatic Club 2, 3, 4; Jordan honor prize. Rifle Club. “Tom’s” a coming Barrymore. His performance in the “Valiant” in the sophomore Potpourri thrilled the audience. He is a most engaging talker, conversing fluently and intelligently on most any subject. HULLIVAN, ROBERT “Hully” Commercial Course Varsity Club 2, 3, 4; Sergeant-at-Arms 4; Football 1, 2, 4; Class Baseball 1, 2, 3, 4; Basketball 1, 2, 3, 4; Soph. Hop; Junior Prom.; Senior Commencement; Biological Editor of the Whaler. ‘Hully” is one of Bulkeley’s best all-around athletes. A capable basketball guard and a good center in football, he is also high scholastically. He made himself a valuable asset to the Varsity Club dances. 19 3 4 THE WHALER IMPELLITTERI, SALVATORE -Sal” Classical Course Secretary of Hi-Y. “Sal” contributes wholeheartedly to every cause, whether the contribution be one of time or money. He is willing and able to shoulder heavy responsibility. Nary an enemy of his is to be found, among students or faculty. JACOBI'S, RUDOLPH “Rudy” Commercial Course Band Manager 3, 4. “Rudy” is Mr. Pierce’s right hand man—and being Mr. Pierce’s right hand man means plenty of work. The numerous fine musical organizations functioning here and at W. M. I. take plenty of husbanding. KEENAN, JOSEPH “Joe” Classical Course Varsity Club 2, 3, 4; Swimming 2, 3, 4; Band 1, 2, 3, 4; Orchestra 1, 2. We admire “Joe” for his “stick-to-it” attitude in becoming an asset to Bulkeley. He has amazed most of his friends and the family by his splendid scholastic achievements during the last year, substantiating our belief that he is a “diamond in the rough” with a real lustre breaking through. KISSEL, WALTER “Walt” Classical Course Glee Club 3; Dramatics 4; Declamation Contest 3. “Walt” is one of the big boys of our class. He developed abruptly into an actor of talent in his senior year. With his height and vigor he makes a commanding orator. KNIE, WALTER M. “Walt” Classical Course Basketball 1, 2, 3, 4; Football 2, Class Football 1, 3; Class Baseball 1; Cross Country 1; Whaler 3, 4; Advertising Manager of Wnaler; Glee Club; Dramatic Club 2� 3, 4; “Dulcy”; Potpourri 2, 3, 4; Jr. Prom.; Declamation Contest 1, 2; Cheer leader 4; Hi-Y 1, 2, 3, 4. “Walt” is just about the finest cheerleader we have had in many a moon. His pep talks to the student body were inspirations. “Walt” is also a basketball player of no mean ability. KURPIEWSKL EDWARD “Eddie” Commercial Course Varsity Club 3, 4; Football 2, 3, 4; Class Football 1; Class Baseball 1, 2; Track 3; Cross Country 1; Class Basketball; Varsity Club 2, 3, 4. Many a time “Eddie” has demoralized the opposition with his long runs. The one up in Norwich was a pip and won’t be forgotten for a long time to come. “Eddie” brings to every difficulty a smile and a determination which cannot be beaten. LEIB, AMOS “Amos’ Classical Course Whaler 3, 4; Literary Editor; Band 1, 2, 3, 4; Orchestra 1, 2, 3, 4; Math. Prize 3; Rifle Club 1; Potpourri 1, 2, 3, 4; “Dulcy”, Christmas Play 2, 3; Dramatic Club 1, 2, 3, 4; Declamation Contest 1; Glee Club 2, 3, 4. Step up folks, and let us introduce the class wit. His humor has passed away many a long hour here in school. Judging by his work at Bulkeley, he will either be a comedian, a great musician, or a leader in the field of histrionics. '«v m lul LEINO, SULO “Sulo” Commercial Course Class Baseball 1, 2, 3. Sulo is a Niantic product. He swims and dives rather creditably, although unable to try for the swimming team. Rivaling his aquatic skill is his faculty for baseball. He was instrumental in that sport in the class of ’34 interclass championship. 19 3 4 THE WHALER LEVINE, MORRIS “Mace Commercial Course Class President 3, 4; Co-Captain Football; Varsity Club 3, 4; Football 2, 3, 4; Class Baseball 1, 2, 3, 4; Basketball 2, 3, 4; Junior Prom, and Senior Commencement Chairman; Business Manager of Whaler 4; Declamation Contest 1, 2; Assistant Manager Whaler; Budget Committee; Student Council. “Mace” is one of our finer athletes and a good scholar. His work on that Buikeley line gained statewide attention. Under his supervision many Bulkeley dances have turned out to be the very best. “Mace” is also the president of the class; a tough job in itself. 5T. [¥V IK i( U iu LILJENSTEIN, CECIL “Swede” Classical Course Varsity Club 1, 2, 3, 4; Football 2, 3, 4; Track 1, 2, 3, 4; Cross Country 1; Latin Prize 1; Dramatic Club; Student Council 2, 3; Vice-Pres. Varsity Club 4. “Swede” may seem a sober individual, taking his studies, as well as anything else which he undertakes, seriously; but, as seems characteristic of all Swedes, he is a humorist at heart. Also, he is a darn good footballer and a splendid student. LOIACONO, RICHARD “Dick” Classical Course Tennis 3, 4. “Dick” is planning his courses with the idea of eventually becoming a doctor. It is our bet that he will be a good one. His height and speed make him of value to the tennis team. LOGIOCO, JAMES “Jimmy” Commercial Course Class Vice-President 2, 3; Varsity Club 2, 3, 4; Co-Captain Football 4; Class Baseball 2, 3, 4; Class Football 1; Varsity Football 2, 3, 4; Basketball 2, 3, 4; Class Basketball 1; Class Track 2, 3, 4; Sophomore Hop; Junior Prom; Senior Commencement Committee; Joke Editor of “Whaler”. “Jimmy” is the best dancer in school. Athletically he is known as one of the finest ends in the state. “Jimmie's” good nature has pulled him through many a tough spot. He is also sort of a salesman (you ought to see him trying to boost “Ma” Mac’s sales.) MALLOVE. MITCHELL “Mitch” Classical Course Mitchell is a worrier (no, not a warrior). If something goes wrong and things have a way of going wrong now and then—he goes home and broods about it, whether it is his fault or not. This characteristic has helped his grades, as may be imagined. S3 S3 S MARIANI, ROLAND «R0|” Classical Course Roland is quite a radio man. Some say he is planning inventions to put Marconi to shame. He did a noble job taking charge of the class sales of the “Saturday Evening Post”. He may become a radio announcer, though, judging from the fine job of announcing he did at the Tech football game. a a g MESSER, CHARLES “Charlie” Classical Course Football 2, 3, 4; “B” Club 3, 4; Baseball 1, 2, 3, 4; Cross Country 1; Potpourri 3; Hockey Manager 4; Class Basketball 3, 4; Sec. of Varsity Club. “Charlie” is just about the smartest quarterback in the conference. Although he got his letter in football his pet diversion seems to be hockey. He was one of the leaders in the movement to revive that sport at Bulkeley. MISARSKY, SIGMUND “Ed” Commercial Course Band 1, 2, 3, 4; Glee Club 2, 3. “Ed’ is one musician who possesses a gentle disposition that makes him a friend of everyone. The faculty will confirm the statement that he is a hard worker and, consequently, a good student. MONTAGUE, LAWRENCE “Monty” Commercial Course Track 4; Cross Country 2; Rifle Team 1. “Monty” always has a pleasant smile and a pood word for everyone. He is a devoted advocate of the Haro’d Teen comic strip, greeting all and sundry with a cheery “Hi, Mi Fran.” However, he is quite able to make his own jokes. MOYKKYNEN, KAUKO “Kauko” Classical Course Track 1, 2, 3, 4; Cross Country 3, 4. Kauko is one of ’34’s handsomest. He has a head of hair that should entitle him to be an orchestra leader, although he has never possessed any such propensities. He is a familiar sight out at Morgan Park, where the trackmen cavort. MULVIHILL, DANIEL “Dan” Classical Course Football 3, 4; Class Football 2; Tennis 3. On first grlance you would report: “Dignified”. But four years together with him would give a more accurate report. He is “very clever”, with a refreshing, subtle humor. NEILAN, JAMES “Red” Commercial Course Hockey 4; Class Football 2; Class Baseball 2. It is hardly necessary to write a biography of a red head. They all seem to be happy fellows, with kindly nature hidden under their exterior pugnacity. O’CONNOR, RAYMOND “Ray’’ Classical Course Class Baseball 3, 4; Class Basketball 4; Cross Country 4. Ray knows his football. He won a prize by pick-,ng the right score of the Bulkeley-Norwich football game. Besides this he called every other department of the game correctly. Although he never won a prize for it, he also knows his baseball. «r «r • u PERRY, RUSSELL “Rus Commercial Course Class Football 1, 2; Class Baseball 2; Glee Club 1, 2. 3; Rifle Club 2, 3, 4. Rus” doesn’t hang around much but drop in at Armory and take a look at him. But watch out, he might hit you by mistake. (No, he is really not a bad shot, for a little fellow.) PETCHARK, WALTER “Walt” Commercial Course Class Football 3, 4; Baseball 3, 4; Hockey 4. “Walt” is another transfer from Tech. A ball player of ability, he is also holding down one of the defense positions on the hockey team. “Tech’s” loss is Bulke-ley’s gain again. PETROSKY, MICHAEL Classical Course “Mike” Secretary 4; President of Varsity Club; Varsity Club 2, 3, 4; Football 2, 3, 4; Baseball 1, 2, 3, 4; Basketball 1, 2, 3, 4; Sophomore Christmas Play; Junior Prom.; Senior Commencement; Student Council 4. When the U. S. recognized Russia Mike declared a holiday and had some Vodka. Being a class athlete, Mike made the all-state football team. He is also captain of the basket-chuckers. Good luck, Mike! THE WHALER PHILLIPS, GEORGE “George” Commercial Course “George” is not a band member but he sure can pound those drums. If there’s a parade, look for George, he’s sure to be in it. He can also drum some good marks from reluctant faculty pens. PRENTIS, ARTHUR Art Commercial Course Declamation Contest 1, 2, 3, 4. “Prentis, what is the answer to that example?” “100X.” “Did you check it?” “I double checked it.” And “Art” in his own inimitable manner raises another “belly” laugh. RAFFERTY, JOSEPH Iron-Man” Commercial Course Varsity Club 4; Class Football 1, 2, 3; Class Baseball 1, 2, 3; Class Basketball 1, 2, 3, 4; Christmas Play 3; Manager Football 4. “Iron-Man” radiates spirit, and lives on sporting lore. He knows just why Bulkeley will beat Tech, or why the Giants will cop the pennant. If you have a job to be done which requires conscientious effort, “Joe” will do it. RANSOM, ROGER “Roger” Commercial Course Band 1, 2, 3, 4; Orchestra 3, 4; Glee Club 3, 4; Serenades 2, 3, 4. Roger doesn’t have a great deal to say. He talks with his trumpet. When someone is out of tune, Mr. Pierce doesn’t look at him. Maybe it's his euphonious name that makes him so musical. RAY, WILBUR “Ray” Classical Course Varsity Club 2, 3, 4; Class Football 2, 3; Track 1, 2, 3, 4; Cross Country 2, 3. 4; Swimming 4; League of Nation’s Prize; Class Basketball 1, Class Hockey 3. Wilbur is possessed of unique versatility. If there are snakes to be killed, he can kill them in a twinkling. es sir, a mere twinkling. And as for rescuing drowning children, that’s his specialty. REAGAN, WILLIAM “Bill” Commercial Course “Bill” is one of our authorities on English. Judging from his studious aspect he must spend much time pouring over ancient tomes. The marks show signs of some activity, anyway. REILLY, ROBERT “Bob” Classical Course Class Football 1, 2; Class Treasurer 2. The index to all text-books. Give Reilly a word and he will tell you the book, page, and the line where you will find it. His special fort is History. ROGERS, ALTON Commercial Course ‘Al” Class Football 1, 2, 4; Class Baseball 1, 2, 4; Gregg Typing Award. “Al” is one fine student. Besides attending school this fellow works on a milk truck and is making good at both. In the spring “Al” takes a crack at baseball and usually goes places in it. Good luck, “Al”. 19 3 4 THE WHALER SANBORN, ROBERT “Bob” Commercial Course Class Football 4; Assistant Manager Baseball 2, 3; Manager Baseball 4; Rife Club 3, 4. “Bob” is exactly like his brother only perhaps a bit more studious. We have enjoyed having him at Bulke-ley, and we know that he is going on to impress others as favorably. SANBORN, EDGAR “Sandy” Commercial Course Class Football 4; Rifle Club 4. Almost any day you can see Sanborn saunter down the aisle with a rifle hung over his shoulder. Besides his shooting ability we have found him quiet, pleasant, and an all-round good fellow. ar� 1 f U u SCHOONMAN, WILLIAM “Bill” Commercial Course “Bill” has been a great source of laughter to us. We mean that monicker of his is pronounced differently by every teacher. But all who know him know him as a mighty fine student. TTf VT •• SCHWARTZ, HAROLD “Hal” Commercial Course Football 2; Class Football 3, 4; Class Baseball 3, 4. From the realm of land booms, alligators and sand crabs, from Florida, “Where the summer spends its winters”, came “Hal”. At first he divided his attentions between here and Florida, but he liked us so much, he finally stayed on here. SHELLOW, EDWARD “Eddie” Classical Course Class Football 4; Track 4. “Eddie” is a transfer from Fitch this year. Fitch is a great little school, and must have lost one of its best when Eddie left. His scholastic aptitude took the faculty by storm, his smile vanquished the student body. •t •• .mr arr l± « SIMPSON, CHESTER “Chet” Commercial Course Class Football 2; Class Baseball 2; Bowling 3, 4; Cross Country 2. “Chet” is the class bowler. Just let him get loose on the alleys and the pins have a wretched time of it. His long frame enables him to reach half way down to the pins, so he has a big advantage. f T Vn rfT. ItS u ftn SMITH, CARLYSLE PERRY “Bogie” Classical Course Varsity Club 1, 2, 3, 4: Football 1, 2, 3, 4; Class Baseball 2, 3; Swimming 1, 2, 4; Tennis 3, 4; Class Basketball 1, 2, 3; Sports Editor of the “Whaler”; Potpourri 1, 2, 3; Dramatic Club 1, 2, 3, 4; Soph. Hop; Cheerleader 3; Swimming Manager 4; “Sun-Up”; Christmas Play; School Correspondent 3, 4. Let’s call him Percy. (Would you rather call it quits?) Well let’s compromise and call him just another Smith. “Bogey’s” work on the tiger line was one of the reasons for Bulkeley’s “went to town” success. SMITH, DONALD “Don” Commercial Course “Don” has become known as a square fellow here at Bulkeley, and has always conducted himself in a gentlemanly fashion. His unassuming manner by which he is known has won for him the best wishes of all. SMITH, MORGAN “Morn” Classical Course Varsity Club 2, 3, 4; Football 2, 3, 4; Hockey 1, 2, 3, 4; Captain Hockey; Christmas Play 2, 3. “Morg” is well known as a football player, but if more fellows had seen him perform on the ice, his gridiron laurels would be forgotten. Can he skate! “He was a very parfit, gentle, knyght.” SPINNER, ARTHUR “Art” Commercial Course Track 3, 4; Class Football 1, 2. “Art” is an exponent of the ancient art of javelin chucking—he chucks a mean javelin. In this era of fla-grancy he has the rare gift of possessing real virtues and not “blowing” about them. JLS. St. JUS ST. GERMAIN, ARTHUR “Saint” Classical Course Class President 1; Class Treasurer 3, 4; Football 1, 2, 3, 4; Varsity Club 3, 4; Class Baseball 1, 2; Hockey 3, 4; Class Basketball 1, 2, 4; Varsity Basketball 2; Class Track 2, 3; “Whaler” Biography Editor; Dramatic Club; Soph. Hop Chairman; Jr. Prom; Senior Commencement; Student Council 1, 2; Vice-President; Student Council 2; George Washington Play 2. Don’t let the name fool you. “Saint” is one of the best and most likable fellows in school. He is also a very good football player, doing yeomanlike service, running down punts and snaring passes. ' s irr m 11 11 STROM, ATMORE “At” Classical Course Varsity Club 4; Football 4; Class Football 3; Class Baseball 3; Baseball 4; Class Basketball 3, 4; Plane Geometry Prize; Potpourri 2, 3, 4; “See You In the Pennies”; Declamation Contest 2, 3; “Dulcy” 4. Atmore is there whether “There” be mathematics, acting or football. These three feats coupled with an amiable disposition has assured him of success and popularity. “Attaboy” Atmore! SULLIVAN, JOHN T. “J. T” Commercial Course Rifle CJub 1, 2, 3, 4; Class Football 1. A big fellow, a big spirit, and a big help to Bulkeley. His rifle is a familiar instrument at Bulkeley, along; with that wheezy piece of junk known as a car. Our bet is that “J. T.” will score a bull’s eye in life. SULLIVAN, RA V MONI) “Ray ” Commercial Course Greg; ? Typing; Pin; Gregg Certificate. By nature “Ray” is a journalist. His story “Rackety Rax” was good. Here’s hoping; he’s headed for a big; time newspaper job. TAGLIAFERRI, EDMUND “Ed” Classical Course “Ed” has been lost to the rest of Bulkeley in his earnest pursuit of knowledge, although he has made himself respected by the teachers. He’s a willing giver, supporting Bulkeley activities generously. TAN ENBAUM, ALBERT “Tanny” Classical Course Vice-President 1; Harvard Club Prize; Dramatics 2; Sr. Budget Committee; Class Valedictorian. Hail to our Valedictorian. Bring on Einstein, Tanny will teach him. He’s been on top for four years now. He is a fellow with a fine personality, too. (As an example of his potentialities—he balanced the Senior budget!) TRAGGIS. DEMETRIUS G. Dim Classical Course Basketball 4. “Dim” is a transfer from Torrington. From advance dope he’s to be a wonder on the tennis court. The teachers all have a good word for him. � T W M. J . WALKER, THOMAS “Red” Commercial Course Varsity Club 4; Track 1, 2; Potpourri 3; Christmas Play. “Red” is the class baby, and how! Small in years but big in words, always handy with his wise cracks. His big ambition is to be a runner. «� WATSON, ELMER E. “Elmer Classical Course Rifle Club 2, 3, 4; Student Council 4; Pres. Rifle Club 4. Elmer is one of our army men. Besides belonging to the C. T. M. C. he is a crack rifleman. He possesses a ready smile which marks him as a “regular guy.” • • • • WATSON. JAMES “Jim” Classical Course Rifle Club 1, 2, 3, 4; Assistant Manager Basketball 2, 3; Manager Basketball 4. “Jim” atoned for his lack of stature (incidentally he has grown phenomonally in the last year or so) by hard work, and earned his letter as Manager of Basketball. His efforts on the rifle range are also commendable. THE WHALER WILLI A M S, LLO Y I) “Loyd” Commercial Course Varsity Club 4; Cross Country 4; Class Football 3; Class Basketball 2, 3, 4; Class Track 3. It took Lloyd several years of newspaper peddling to develop his running ability, but he was finally rewarded by being on the varsity cross country team. We know that this same spirit is going to carry him through a well-deserved and successful career. WILL1AMS. ROBERT “Bob” Commercial Course Class Football 3, 4; Class Baseball 2; “Whaler” 3, 4; Band 3, 4; Potpourri 3; Hi-Y 3, 4; Serenaders 4; Class Basketball 2, 3, 4; Class Track 2, 3. “Bob” has been active in all school organizations, including band, orchestra and every branch of inter-class sport competition. He toots a mean saxophone for Mr. Pierce and his Serenaders. n tt WOJOSKI, EDWARD “Ed” Commercial Course Varsity Club 2, 3, 4; Varsity Track 2, 3, 4; Cross Country 2, 3, 4; Orchestra 2, 3, 4. “Ed” is one who goes about his daily work quietly and in an unobtrusive way, at least we have found him so in our acquaintance with him. The spirit of work and play that characterized him at Bulkeley will surely uphold him in the future. ZITO, RUSSELL “Rosey” Commercial Course Varsity Club 1, 2, 3, 4; Class Football 2, 3; Class Baseball 2; Cross Country 1; Basketball 2, 3, 4; Class Basketball 1. “Rosey” is dependable and conscientious. He pushes hard behind his objectives making things better. Contrary to his size he has been a big man on the basketball court. 19 3 4 THE WHALER Bulkeley 25 Years Ago CLASS OF 1909 Bulkeley—students, faculty and alumni—hails with rejoicing the multifold benefits concurrent with the 1934 addition. But Bulkeley, especially the alumni, cannot withhold a sigh or so for the many landmarks which had to be sacrificed to progress. How many changes have taken place since these young men of a quarter century ago, now numbered among the city’s leading business and professional men, sat for their picture. The old tower on the far left is gone, the ancient elm in the center is no longer, the Bulkeley fence, part of which may be seen on the right, in front of the Nathan Hale school house, lives, like the famous Yale fence, only in the memory of those who have discussed midyears on its top rail. And Mr. Towne—has crossed the bar. Twenty-five years, beating against Bulkeley’s venerable walls like waves against the beach, have wrought many changes. Much of what has gone is to be regretted. But a wise hand has guided the change. Bulkeley, in 1934, has profited by the experience of Bulkeley, 1909. This class of twenty-five years ago made an exceptional record in the highest school of all—Life. Bulkeley men have always brought honor to their alma mater by their conduct in post-school life. The class of nineteen hundred and thirty-four hopes to be able to emulate the splendid record of the class of 1909.

Among the graduates of the classes of 1884, ’85, ’86 the reader will find many of these men have become famous in community, state, and national offices. These groups have produced mayors, councilors, a lieu-tenant-governor, congressmen and professional men in all walks of life. We, the class of 1934, humbly salute these men whom, we have watched climb the pinnacle of success. No finer example can we follow in achieving our goals. “Keep pushing—’tis wiser than sitting aside, And dreaming, and sighing and waiting the tide, In life’s earnest battle they only prevail, Who daily march onward and never say fail”. —Anon. Page sixty 19 3 4 Juniors! It hardly seems possible! Only yesterday we entered Bulk-eley and today we are three-quarters through. Yes, three-quarters of one of the most important epochs in our lives is over. We are at that stage where the great metamorphosis envelopes us. Half-boy and half-man. We are becoming interested in manly pursuits while we yet retain those pleasures which delight the youth’s heart. Some of us even boast of a beard. At this stage we meditate equally on the past and on the future. We entered, three falls past, as greenhorn freshmen, and soon realized that the days of pulling girl’s braids were over. The days of great work and plenty of it had begun. We ascended the ladder of education to “Sophomoredom.” By this time we had started to display our real worth and to take pride in doing it. We realized that the loafer may be accorded some attention in his freshman year, but in the long run Bulkeley insists on some achievement. Now we come to the present, cur junior year. We have taken the hurdles with nary a slip, a fact which, we trust, will tend to keep us up at par. For class officers we elected as President, John Thompson, Vice-president, Louis Esposito, and Secretary Treasurer, Benjamin Katz. In athletics, this year seems to be lacking in that leadership and coordination which is the basis of successful inter-class sports—in fact that movement was not even started. However we can point with pride to the fact that several of Bulkeley’s star players on varsity squads are juniors. Our career at Bulkeley may be summed up thusly: We lived in horror of high school as of a bitter medicine which for our own good we had to take. Next, we tasted it and found it much less bitter than we had expected. Finally, by repeated doses we became inebriated with it and grew to like it. So it is with Bulkeley. We have become inebriated with the high school spirit and find it not dry and laborious but highly enjoyable. Here in our little world we have all the joys and heartaches of a metropolitan city. As in a city, the industrious, and far-seeing attain the best results. Three hard years are behind us and, with but one year ahead to conquer, the greatest weight is off our shoulders. In this final drive we hope to reach greater heights than we have ever before attained. We realize that our parents, school, and community are looking to us. We will not fail. —G. F.

We are indeed proud of their achievements at Bulkeley. Our hope is that they continue to attain their goals and the success which hard work will award. Let us begin with a little self praise. In the 1933 Potpourri we offered a play “Our Dear Departed,” under the direction of Mr. Flood Reed. Lo, and behold! to our humble amazement the judges declared our presentation the best! We owe this to a fine performance by Ned Smith, Gerard Messer, Alvin Glattman, Joseph Belbruno, James Lathrop and Wells Lawrence. This fall we entered full of determination and pep. Our determination failed us and our pep disappeared when we heard those verbal exclamations of Mr. Ray Reed. They simply stunned us. But as time wore on we soon were outwording him. When the football games started we found that we had a star, James Santangelo. After an extended Christmas recess we entered the new building. Almost a whole floor was utilized by the sophs. Just below us we discovered a new gym in which we hope to develop a first-rate team, probably the “Soph-All-Stars”. Anyway we are a part of Bulkeley. The faculty realizes it from the amount of papers they have to correct. Looking forward to next year we hope to see all our crowd in long pants, including Burke. —M.

Examinations over, books distributed, and rooms assigned the class gradually settled into the daily routine of “readin’, ’ritin’, and ’rith-metic'’. Due to the fact of the unusually large enrollment the platoon system has been adopted until the new addition is ready for occupancy, at which time the regular sessions will be resumed. Banishment from playing football has been the result of this system for the freshmen since they are not dismissed until 4:45 P. M. General interest has centered around the band, an activity in which the freshmen have been able to participate. Among the momentous events which have marked this class’ calendar has been the N. R. A. parade. Marching by the entire class, music by the band, and a float by upper classmen were features of Bulkeley’s contribution to this function. Results of the class election found Charles Quarry as President, Richard Walker as Vice-President, and Raymond Ellis as Secretary-Treasurer. Assembling on November tenth with the upper classes, for the first time, the freshmen joined in a rally celebrating numerous events of school life. Perhaps when the regular schedule is in session the entering class may be able to distinguish itself but so far the freshman history has not been extraordinary. —R. K.

Costello Morris Lubchansky Thomas S. McGinley Board of Directors The Incorporators and J. P. T. Armstrong Arthur H. Shurts Samuel M. Prentis Homer K. Underwood Thomas E. Troland President Arthur H. Shurts Treasurer Samuel M. Prentis Graduate Athletic Manager Eight years ago through the kind generosity of Mr. Frederic W. Mercer, Bulkeley School became the recipient of one of the finest athletic fields, club houses and equipment in the State of Connecticut. Also, since then he has given generously to many school activities. This noble gift is under the managerial control of some of Bulkeley’s most esteemed graduates. They became the incorporators of Bulkeley’s splendid gift The incorporators are: Cornelius C. Costello, Alfred Ligourie, Morris Lubchansky, Thomas E. Troland, and Thomas S. McGinley. The next step in the organization was the selection of a Board of Directors. The above named incorporators by virtue of their office were the nucleus of a Board of Directors which was increased by the appointment of four additional members to include the following—all good men and true—J. P. T. Armstrong, Arthur H. Shurts, Samuel Prentis, and Homer K. Underwood. Thus it works out that the real ownership of Mercer Field is vested in the Alumni. Every boy when he graduates becomes in a very real sense one of the permanent owners of the field. Thomas Troland was elected president, Vice President, C. C. Costello, Secretary, Alfred Ligourie, Samuel Prentis was chosen to be Graduate Athletic Manager and Arthur H. Shurts, Treasurer. Under Mr. Shurt’s guidance and skillful supervision the association has been able to meet all current expenses and provide a surplus for much needed improvements at the field. Mercer Field is used at all times by all Bulkeley teams and thus the athletes receive a splendid training in character and health-building which are essential for individual growth and well-being in preparation for the playing of the game of life. 19 3 4 Page seventy-four CO-CAPTAINS Morris Levine James Logioco THE WHALER Football Team Backfield Thompson Messer ....

Left End 19 3 4 Page seventy-seven Football Contrary to custom, practice was called fully a week in advance of previous years. The Tiger Mentors, William F. O’Brien and John K. Balentine, had a goodly number of veterans returning from last year’s squad and they had in mind a change of system for the coming year, thus the early call for candidates. f ifteen members of last year’s varsity squad returned to their old haunts at Mercer field for another year. They were “Mace” Levine, James Logioco, Mike Petrosky, C. P. Smith, M. C. Smith, Bob Hullivan, Benny Katz, Art St. Germain, Scotty Thompson, Charlie Messer, Eddie Kur-Piewski, “Swede” Liljenstein, Jimmie Santangelo, Neil Crowley and “Red” Ebersole. All of these saw duty in last year’s games and big things were expected of them for the 1933 season. The squad had been at wcrk only a week, tackling the dummy, blocking and working on the fundamentals of the game when the coaches introduced a new system, combining the power of the old Rockne system with the deception of the Warner B C formations. Coach O’Brien had used, since being at Bulkeley school, the Notre Dame Rockne system of a balanced line and single wing in the backfield. The first tentative team which was picked remained intact throughout the season as the official first team. Logioco and St. Germain were at the end posts, Petrosky and Katz protected the tackle positions, C. P. Smith and Levine were the guards, but the larger part of the interference fell to them as they were continually pulling out of the line in order to run the interference, M. C. Smith was the pivot man. In the backfield we found Charlie Messer calling the signals and playing one of wing positions along with Scotty Thompson who played the left half back, the other half was Eddie Kurpiewski who did our kicking, passing and was on the end of our lateral, at the fullback post there was none other than Swede Liljenstein, who continued to tear the center of rival team’s lines to pieces with his bull-like rushes which were ever helpful to us. After practicing diligently for a month we were taken down to New Haven to open up against the strong Hillhouse High of that city. Hill-house had been the recognized state champions for the last two years. Since taking up relations with Hillhouse in 1929 we were never able to Page seventy-eight FOOTBALL SQUAD Bottom Row—L. R.

SCORES 19 3 4 Page seventy-nine THE WHALER emerge with a victory. Our best attempt was a 0-0 tie in 1930. We entered the game with the best chance of turning the tables on the Bowen men of New Haven since Coach O’Brien’s regime at Bulkeley. In the first half, two Bulkeley drives for a score were repulsed, and both of Kurpiewski’s attempts for a field goal went wide, the half ending in a deadlock. The last half was another story and the hero was Bulkeley. In the third period, we punted from midfield to the Hillhouse two yard line where the safety man allowed the ball to slip from his fingers. Levine grabbed it across the goal line to put us in the lead by 2-0. In the same period Thompson passed to Logioco from his own 45 yard line to the opponent s 25 yard line, from where the Bulkeley end raced across the double stripes to score. Wonderful blocking by St. Germain was responsible for the score for two New Haven men could have easily drowned Logioco, but Saint gave the hip to one of them to throw him off stride and took the other out with a clean body check. Kurpiewski drop kicked the extra point, putting us in the lead by 9-0 with the last period coming up. We made another advance to the Hillhouse 5 yard line. On the fourth down, Kurpiewski dropped back again for another attempt at a field goal. The ball was aimed straight and true, and it sailed through the uprights to bring the tally up to 12-0. Courtesy New Haven Register The first game at Mercer field was with the Stonington High team and Bulkeley scored before the game was two minutes old. From then on the Orange and Black tallied at their leisure to push the total up to 26-0 for the final score. The following week Bulkeley traveled to Westerly to add a 30-0 victory to its string. Logioco, Liljenstein, Kurpiewski and Thompson all had a hand in the scoring with Kurpiewski going across twice. Five touchdowns were made, but not a single extra point. Thompson scored two touchdowns and Kurpiewski and Liljenstein one each against Windham for the fourth victory. On the 28th of October we packed our baggage to play La Salle at Providence. La Salle had been the state champs of Rhode Island for the last two years and had run up a string of 23 victories with no defeats or ties marring its record. Bulkeley won the toss and elected to receive. The ball was kicked to Edward Kurpiewski who carried the ball forward ten yards where he gave it to the fleet-footed Thompson who reversed the field and with good interference raced to the La Salle 14 yard line. It was a run of eighty-five yards by Thompson who outdistanced every man on the field, except one; he was none other than the state champ of 100 and 220 yard dashes. What a break! Bulkeley was repelled on the goal line and forced to give up the ball on downs. The Providence team kicked out of danger and then started 19 3 4 Page eighty-one an absolute rout. They scored at will, having been given little opposition by the Tiger line. The half ended with the ball in the opponent’s possession and seemingly on the way to another score. No one outside of the men on the squad knows what Coach O’Brien said to the players during the half and no one can find out. After the half our team came from behind to administer the same sort of a drubbing that we received in the first half. Our line was strong, continually throwing the opposition backs for losses. Bulkeley rose to great heights and scored two touchdowns and one extra point, making the score 13 all. The Tigers could not overcome the lead the La Salle students had and so we had to be satisfied with a tie. Our next game at our home field was with Fitch high who came to Mercer field with the big hope of beating our team. The hope was short lived for we sent them back to Groton with a 27-7 beating ringing in their ears. The next week we lost our only game of the season to our arch rivals, Tech, after outplaying them in all departments by a 6-0 score. e had a full week of rest before the final game of the season and we entered the traditional in the best possible condition. What we did to Norwich was something to write home about. The final score was 19-0 and we finished up the season in a blaze of glory with a record of six wins, one defeat, and one tie. In the final Norwich game, nine members of the varsity played their last game of football for Bulkeley school. The only members of last year’s team left to the school this year are Captain Benjamin Katz and “Scotty” Thompson. There were several unofficial all-conference teams picked by several newspaper writers, but most of them differed in their selections. Every member of the first team was selected on some one of these unofficial teams, and Petrosky, was selected as a tackle on the all-state team, which was picked by a group of coaches throughout the state. o - o BASEBALL Bulkeley’s baseball activities of the 1933 season opened with Coach William F. O’Brien’s and Assistant Coach John K. Balentine’s call for baseball candidates which was exceptionally well answered. The varsity lineup which Coach O’Brien announced just before the first game of the season with Stonington at Mercer field found Messer catching, Moore pitching, Satterly at first, Barry and Capt. Miller at second and third bases, and Thompson rounding out the infield at short-stop. The outfield posts were taken care of by Kari, playing right field, Birmingham at center and Crowley at left. Petrosky, Ham, O’Connor, Petchark and Miner were the other regular pitchers. In the opening game with Stonington the Tigers hit hard but displayed such a ragged defense, that they lost 9-8. In their second game, the Tigers broke into the winning column at the expense of Westerly, 7-3. On the next afternoon we encountered a strong team from Windham in Willimantic. We were able to put down a ninth inning rally by Windham soon enough to win the game, the final score being 10-8. Birmingham and Thompson were our great aids in winning the game. The next game was with Robert Fitch. Going into the fray, Fitch had yet to defeat a Bulkeley athletic team. They emerged in the same state coming out in defeat by a 10-6 tally. This win primed the men for their game with Chapman to be played on the following Saturday, the 6th. But Jupiter had different ideas about the game and rained it out. Saybrook was the next Bulkeley victim. The Bengals played a ghastly field game, committing eight errors but made up for their laxity by blasting out 14 hits and an 8 to 6 victory. Bulkeley met its second defeat at the hands of none other than our deadly rivals, Norwich. Wonderful pitching by Walczak of Norwich, who held the Tigers to two hits and fanned nine men, was the chief cause of the Tiger’s downfall. The final score was 1 to 0. Coach O’Brien, following the Norwich game, shifted his infield around considerably. Satterly was moved from 1st to 3rd base; Capt. Miller from 3rd to shortstop; Thompson to 2nd base from short; and Page eighty-four 19 3 4 Top Row—Ass’t. Coach Balentine, Ass’t Mgr. Sanborn, Ass’t Mgr. Di Maggio, Ass’t. Mgr.

With this renovated infield, the Tigers took Windham into camp by a 9-1 score. The next game virtually put the team out of the championship race. Norwich lambasted us with an 8-0 defeat. Still groggy from the effects of the Norwich defeat, our team travelled to Stonington the following Wednesday. The Stonington team waited until the last inning and then took the game right out of our laps, 5-4. We managed to struggle through to a 6-2 victory over Fitch and the team looked so much improved over its last two showings that a faint light of hope was still left for a victory over Chapman Tech in the annual Memorial Day Contest. This hope was short-lived, for Tech took advantage of Bulkeley errors to eke out a 7-6 win in a game held up several times by torrential downpours. Another one run defeat, the fifth out of six, was handed to us by our New Haven friends, Hillhouse. O’Connor pitched marvelous ball until the 6th inning when he was nicked four solid blows which scored all three of the Hillhouse runs. The best we could do was to score 2 runs, thus dropping another game. The game with Tech which was originally scheduled to be played on the sixth of May took place exactly one month later. The tale was the same as the first game, incidentally, the score was the same also 7-6. The last game on our schedule found us administering a decisive victory to Westerly. Led on by Moore, who pitched a two-hit game, our players socked Westerly for 18 hits and 15 runs while whitewashing the team from Rhode Island. We finished the year with a .500 average, winning 7 and losing the same number. The outlook for next year, however, is very promising, with 7 of the varsity returning to school. THE WHALER Coming to Bulkeley in 1929, Coach O’Brien found that we were about the only school in this section without a basketball team. Mr. O’Brien immediately set about organizing a hoop aggregation that the school would be proud of. After he had been at the school for 3 years his efforts were rewarded. Capt. “Eddie” Barry, “Ernie” Miller, Paul Carney, Mike Petros-ky, Jimmie Logioco, Mace Levine, Walt Knie and Bob Hullivan, all of whom were on the squad for at least two years, won for him the title of the southern section of the conference and defeated our city rival, Tech. Bulkeley opened the season with a 31-27 win over the alumni played on December 27th. To start the new year off in the right manner the Tigers topped a highly rated Saybrook quintet by a score of 35 to 26. Capt. Barry and Logioco both played very well offensively and defensively. In the next game the team felt its first taste of defeat at the hands of New Haven Commercial. The New Haven boys played an air-tight man-to-man defense that the Tigers could not break through. The final score was 28-16. For the second time within a week our team met defeat at the hands of a New Haven team. This time it was New Haven Hillhouse. After trailing for the first three periods, the Hillhouse students came from behind in the last quarter to score 9 points to Bulkeley’s 1 and won the contest by a 16-11 score. In the next game the Tigers got back into their winning stride by defeating their traditional rivals, Norwich, by a score of 20-18. Again Capt. Barry pulled us through by scoring from almost any angle. Page eighty-seven Branford was the next victim by a score of 27-22. Barry and Pet-rosky scored a huge majority of our points. With two victories under its belt Bulkeley was beaten by Windham by a score of 21-19. We overcame a huge lead in the 3rd quarter only to be outscored in the final period by 2 points to give the upstaters the game.

Led by Petrosky, we defeated Fitch to the tune of 25-13 and continued the slogan “Fitch has yet to beat Bulkeley in a major athletic encounter.” Traveling north to Norwich, “The Rose of New England” to meet Norwich Free Academy, we inserted a thorn in their bush of hopes for a sectional championship. When the timer ended the game, the “Nor-wichites” found themselves on the very short end of a tally totalling 26-14. Petrosky was the hero of the evening. Again the team journeyed north, this time to meet Windham in the State Armory at Willimantic. Szatowski was chiefly responsible for our 30-20 defeat. Fitch again fell before our well-balanced team, this time on our home floor and the game ended with a score of 34-19. Capt. Barry and Ernie 19 3 4 Page eighty-eight THE WHALER Miller led the attack with 12 points apiece. Chapman Tech and Bulkeley had now to fight it out for the championship. The next game gave Bulkeley its first basketball victory over Chapman Tech and its first divisional title in the Eastern Conn.—Western Rhode Island Conference since having resumed basketball activities in 1930. The game was highly spectacular. The score at the half was 4-3 in Bulkeley’s favor. At the end of the regular playing time it was tied, 11 all, the Tigers having overcome a 6 point lead in the last two minutes of play to tie things up. In the first two five minute overtime periods both teams put up a marvelous defense, neither team being able to score. In the third period Butler, Tech’s star center, went out on personals. Both teams were able to score a field goal apiece, leaving the tally at 13 all. It was at the end of this period, that Coach Jack Conway cf Tech showed that he was a sportsman of the highest calibre when he allowed his team to finish the game without Butler, around whom the Tech team was built. Bulkeley, with its starting team intact and no more than two personals on any man, had nothing to lose and everything to win if the game was continued. Coach Conway was forced to substitute an inexperienced player for Butler and Petrosky scored the field goal that gave Bulkeley its first court victory over Tech. Our next game with Westerly finished sadly for Westerly, the out-of-state boys taking a 36-9 lacing at our city. Only three mere games, Branford, Chapman and Killingly before we were to meet Windham. The out-of-towners were determined to avenge defeat and were successful to a 28-25 tally. Bulkeley led at the half-time period, but was unable to hold Branford in the final half. Tech got revenge in the second encounter with Bulkeley pinning a 24-19 defeat on the Orange and Black. In this game we had no come-back for the dazzling display of basketball that was furnished by Capt. LeBlanc and Butler of Tech. The game was lots closer than the score 25-19 indicates. Two minutes previous to the final gun the score was tied at 16 all. But 5 mid-floor shots by the Tech guards overcame the encounters of Barry and Miller of Bulkeley. The regular season ended by taking Killingly into camp with a bombardment of shots, totaling to a 31-18 kill. Despite all work put in between this and the Windham game, Bulkeley, before a small crowd at the Norton gym was decisively beaten by 28-16. We were only able to keep within scoring distance of the Windham five during the first quarter, after that we were just another team on the floor and Willimantic did everything but walk on us in administering the defeat. We finished the season with 13 wins against 7 losses. The prospects for next year’s team look very hopeful with 5 varsity squad men returning to school. ---- sag 1 9 3 4 _ Page eighty-nine 1.

The first track meet on our schedule was a warmup affair with the Alumni. The meet showed up our weakness, no good men in the weights. We won, but only due to some fine running by our Captain Alex Wolfe. We fell victims to Tech and Norwich. Capt. Wolfe again “copped” two first places in each meet, the 100 and 220 yard dashes. Hillhouse invaded our home field and lived up to their advanced reputations. The state champs went back to New Haven victors by a 72-32 score. Taber De Polo, our great half-miler turned in our only first place. Before the interscholastics at Wesleyan, we were favored to win because of our great runners. Tech was forecasted to divide the field events with Norwich but did not live up to the forecasts and Norwich cut down our lead by emerging victors in all the field contests and thereby copping the meet. Norwich tallied 41 to our 38. The track team hired a bus to go to New Haven for the State Interscholastic Meet in the B Divisions. Wolfe pulled a ligament which meant giving away ten points to the opposition. We still contend that with these 10 points we would have been first place in the B Division. 19 3 4 Paye ninety-two TH E WHALER CROSS COUNTRY TEAM Front Row, left to right—E. Wojcoski, I.

Bulkeley’s Cross Country season for 1933 will not enter the annals as being one of its best The only victory that we scored in our dual meets was a decisive victory over Bacon Academy of Cochester. In all the other dual meets we suffered discouraging defeats at the hands of Norwich, Chapman Tech, Westerly and Stonington. In the state meet at New Haven, held by the Connecticut Interscholastic Athletic Association, Bulkeley, in competition with all of the teams in the state, emerged with third place. Ivar (Swede) Pearson, of Bulkeley, won the individual State Championship in this meet, leading the field by a comfortable margin. In the interscholastic meet of the Eastern Connecticut—Western Rhode Island Conference, Bulkeley likewise obtained a third place. The letter men, of whom five are seniors, include Capt. Irv Bronitsky, Swede Pearson, Ed Wojcoski, Jim Collins, Louis Esposito, Lloyd W and Manager Thomas Walker. Page ninety-three SWIMMING TEAM Front Row, left to right—C. P. Smith, P. Beard, S. Taylor, J. McKenna, C. Sullivan. Second Row—Coach Conrad, R. Daboll, D. Kerridge, J. Gager, C. Schaaf. For the first time in its history, Bulkeley was represented by a swimming team led by a faculty advisor. Mr. Conrad yielded to the requests of several students and took over the reins of a swimming team. After a full month’s diligent practice Bulkeley faced the Trinity College freshmen. To the surprise of everyone including themselves the Tigers won 32 to 29. At Plainfield, next on the list, the Bulkeley swimmers emerged the winners by a score of 48 to 20. In the same week, the Tigers met the Norwich team whom they defeated by a score of 36 to 29. In a return match, the Trinity College frosh gave Bulkeley its first taste of defeat 36 to 32, the relay being the margin of defeat. The Bulkeleyites next sank our Tech rivals by a score of 37 to 34 The morning after the Tech meet, the Tigers journeyed to New Haven to compete in the Yale Interscholastics. The free style relay team composed of Smith, Gager, Kerridge, and Beard qualified for the finals, but Coach Conrad withdrew his team from the finals. This meet ended the successful season of four victories and one defeat. Page ninety-four HOCKEY TEAM Front Row, left to right—J. Thompson, C. Messer, M. Smith, A. St. Germain, W. Langdon. Back row—J. Neilan, W. Berntsen, B. Wood, Coach J. Gagnon, T. Langdon, G. Messer, R. Lacey. Hockey, in spite of poor ice, was resumed in 1934 after a lapse of one year. The weather played a large part in determining whether games could be played, and many had to be scheduled away. Mr. John Gagnon was initiated as coach and his knowledge of hockey proved very helpful. The schedule was rather difficult, but with Capt. Morg Smith leading his eager sextet, was completed quite successfully. The first game of the season was with New Haven Commercial. At the New Haven Arena, our hockey team went down to defeat, 5-0. New Haven Hillhouse was next, this game also being played at the New Haven Arena. The Bulkeley team won 5-1. Two games were scheduled with the Alumni. The undergrads won both, the scores being 5-4 and 6-5 respectively. Hillhouse again was played, this time the score being tied 1-1. Pomfret Prep, the leading team of the state, took over the Tigers 3-0. Niantic was conquered by the score of 3-0. Salem proved much tougher but the team managed to win 6-0. These three games were played away from home. Commercial in a re-match, again was our superior, winning 6-1. The manager of the team this year was Charles Messer who tried to schedule the best teams in the State. Against such a schedule, and in spite of heavy handicaps due to lack of ice for practice, the team had a splendid record of 5 victories, three defeats, and one tie. Page ninety-five THE WHALER TENNIS TEAM Left to right—Baxter, C. P. Smith, Kerridge, Loiacono, Mulvihill. A tennis team was organized at Bulkeley this year under the able coaching of Douglas W. Young. Practice started immediately after the courts at Calkins park were put in order with the help of the team members. Due to an error in establishing the date the team from Norwich arrived unexpectedly and all the squad members were not present. With a reduced squad, Coach Young sent his charges against the wildcats of Norwich who have had exceptional teams in the past. Our team was defeated by a score of 6 to 0. The next game was with Chapman Tech, our traditional rivals, who were coached by George Perry. His team of seasoned players were defeated by the Bulkeley underdogs‘by the decisive score of 5-2. The tiger team was represented by Louis Decker, C. P. Smith, Richard Baxter, Loiacono and Dan Mulvihill. The singles were won by C. P. Smith, Baxter, Loiacono and Mulvihill. Smith and Decker won the double match. After the glorious victory over Tech the Bulkeley tennis flashes took over the Windham another conference rival by a score of 5 to 2. A return match was played with Tech and again Bulkeley triumphed by a score of 6 to 1. To their dismay the tennis team conquererors went down to defeat at the hands of a smart Norwich outfit to the tune of 4 to 2. The next match was with Windham which resulted in a complete whitewash for them by a 7 to 0 score. In the Plymouth High School meet Bulkeley emerged victorious by a scant score of 4 to 3. Honors should go to Decker who showed a style of playing which would class him as a school boy Tilden. Puye ninety-six THE WHALER RIFLE TEAM Front Row, left to right—E. Watson, P. White, W. Gaskell, J. Sullivan, J. Watson. Back Row—J. Fitzpatrick, R. Perry, R. Sanborn, L. Chandler, Tom Donnee, G. Mills. The Bulkeley Rifle Club having completed the successful season of 1932 winning three out of five scholastic matches, and having placed among the leaders in the National Junior Rifle Corps, has started its sixth year of success under the leadership of Carlton F. Small. Bulkeley Riflemen have this season completed the series of Junior Rifle Matches under the auspices of the National Rifle Association placing eighth in Class B. The highest score ever made by the team was 493 against Central High School of Bridgeport, Connecticut. James Watson was Star in this match with a perfect score of 100. Tom Donnee considered the best marksman on the team shot 100 against the Crosby Rifle Club of Waterbury, Connecticut. The other crack marksmen who always turn in high scores were Elmer Watson, John T. Sullivan and Jack Fitzpatrick.

Two rounds were played during the months of April and May during which time each class played a schedule of six games. The class of 1936 provided a sensational upset by decisively defeating all three of the upper-classes losing only to the Seniors in the last game of the season. The veteran Mortie Agen was at his best in this game and the sensational winning streak of the Freshmen was at last halted. The Class of 1936 won five out of six to capture first place. The class of 1935 finished second, losing only to the pennant-winners in well-played games. By winning from the Freshmen, the Seniors succeeded in pushing the Juniors into last place. Much of the success of the pennant-winning team was due to the able coaching of Okie O’Connor and the stellar twirling and battling of “Joe” Impellitteri. Other members of the championship team were Fad-den, Honosky, Lathrop, Redford, Reed, A. Impellitteri; Leary. Lubchan-sky, and Kononchick. Joseph Silva of the Faculty coached the Sophomores who finished second. The Juniors were under the direction of the versatile Mace Levine, and Mort Agen had charge of the destinies of the Seniors. Mr. Shay was ably assisted by John Corliss. Each year proves the value of this intra-mural sport which provides timber for the Varsity in future years, and also gives an opportunity in the spring to the well-known slogan, “Athletics for AH”. This is true more so because members of the Varsity and Junior Varsity as well as members of the track team are barred from competing in these games. Numerals are awarded to the class players winning this league. The season of 1934 should prove even mere successful than the last because Ernie Miller, Ed Barry and Satterly as well as Joseph Silva will be on hand to assist Mr. Shay in handling this ever-popular league. All teams will be out to prevent 1936 from repeating. The class of 1933 was the only class in recent years to repeat as a winner. Much competition is expected from the class of 1937 which has already proved its mettle in other sports at Bulkeley. 19 3 4 Pape ninety-eight THE WHALER Interclass Basketball Interclass Basketball enjoyed one of its most successful years during the 1932-33 season with approximately 40 students participating in the sport. All games were played on the Y. M. C. A. court, with Coaches O’Brien and Balentine alternating on refereeing. The class of 1933 put a veteran team with three years previous experience on the floor and, capitalizing on their opponents early season mistakes, succeeded in piling up enough victories to keep the championship from the onrushing Freshmen. The Freshmen, the class of 1936, started slowly but finished with the best yearling team ever seen in the school and took second place, missing the championship by one game. Their clashes with the Senior team were the high spots in the competition and never failed to draw a large following from both classes. Most of these games were overtime affairs that were decided by one or two points. The final contest went to the Seniors and gave them the title. The Sophomore team, class of 1935, played sensational but eratic basketball to finish in third place, while the Juniors set some sort of a record by finishing the season with fifteen losses and no victories. If spirit alone decided games the Juniors would have been champions for, despite the rough going they never failed to put a complete team on the floor. CLASS SUPERLATIVES Most Popular ...........

The Freshman class of 1936 won the event and it should be noted that this was the second time that a Freshman class has taken the honors away from the upper classmen. The first act was a presentation cf the Sophomore class entitled “Where the Cross Is Made.” It was a very difficult play by the famed Eugene O’Neill, but was acted quite admirably by a selected cast, directed by Mr. Ray Reed. The following constituted the cast: William Feldman, John Haney, Thomas Elliott, Henry Nigrelli, Anthony Sabila, Philip An-tonatos, and Dominic Mark. The W. M. I. Glee club furnished the next bit cf entertainment with humor by Beatrice Rosen and Elizabeth Fielding, solos by Geraldine Davidson, Beatrice Rosen, Mae Rheaume, and Phyllis Rogers; and trio numbers by Isabel Denison, Frances Hartman, and Phillis Rogers. Following this came the Junior class play entitled “Banquo’s Chair”, coached by Mr. Elbert Orcutt. In the cast were: Walter M. Knie, George Hilsberg, Atmore Strom, Thomas Walker, William Beaudro, Amos Leib and Charles Messer. The Bulkeley Glee club then gave a minstrel show starring Morris Einhorn, Thomas Hodet, and Amos Leib. Thomas Smith, Ray Sullivan, John Azars, Edward Brown, and Thomas Hodet rendered solos. The feature of the second night was the prize winning play of the freshman, “The Dear Departed” by Stanley Haughton, and coached by Mr. Flood Reed. The cast of the play included: Alvin Glattman, Joseph Belbruno, Girard Messer, Edward Smith, Wells Lawrence and James Lathrop. The second and fourth acts were similar to those of the preceding night with the addition of a humorous selection, “Minnie the Moocher” given by Morris Einhorn. To wind up the second evening of the eleventh annual Potpourri, the seniors presented “J. Caesar”, written by Stephen G. Harris. The coach for this masterpiece was Mr. Hamlen. The following, disguised as real Caesarian Romans gave a fine presentation of J. Caesar of today: Alexander Wolfe, Norman Adleman, Fred Keefe, Wallace Hobbs, William Fox. Thomas Hodet, Russell Looby, Russel Fitzgerald, Anthony Impellitteri and Harry Ryzerwic. On each night as an added specialty attraction two acts were given. The first was a dance by Rita Sullivan, and the second a contortionist act by Robert Buxton. The Bulkeley Serenaders played for these two acts and also before the commencement of the attractions for each night. Hilliard Spitz of the class of 1935 gave the introductory speech explaining the sophomore play “Where the Cross is Made.” The Bulkeley W. M. I. orchestra, directed by Howard T. Pierce, furnished musical entertainment before, after, and between the acts. Page one hundred two “DULCY” Marc Connolly and George S. Kaufman CAST Dulcy .............................

Haney, Jr. Henry, the butler ............. Elmer E. Watson, Jr. On December 15, 1933, the Bulkeley—W. M. I. dramatic club presented “Dulcy”, a three act royalty play by the well known Kaufman and Connelly pair. It was undoubtedly one of the finest performance ever to be witnessed on the Bulkeley stage. Under the tutelage of Mr. Ray Reed, “Dulcy” was added to the list of successful dramatic presentations so characteristic of his indefatigable endeavors. Notwithstanding the fact that the weather was none too inviting, and that a coat of ice covered the streets, a capacity crowd witnessed this excellent presentation. The play contained many diverse situations, as could be expected at a week end party or gathering, in which the play was set. Dulcy, a young wife, portrayed by Miss Barbara Lawrence, in her eager determination to aid her husband in his financial affairs, plans a week-end party at her home in New York. The important guest of the party is Mr. C. Rogers Forbes, played by William Feldman. He is a wealthy capitalist dealing in the manufacture of imitation pearls who has hopes of purchasing a formula from Gordon Smith, Dulcy’s husband. Gordon, played by Walter M. Knie, is the recipient of her unwitting blunders to aid him in the sale of the formula and an increase in his share of the profits. During the action many humorous happenings occur which tend toward the increasing enjoyment of the play. Some examples, such as the spooning of Mrs. Forbes with Mr. Van Dyke, the elopment of Angela Forbes with the sissified, self-conscious scenarist, Vincent Leach; and the love affair between Mr. and Mrs. Forbes when they make up, gave added humor to the entire situation. Amos Leib as Sterrett the advertising manager gave the audience many a laugh with his famous handshake. Tom Donnee, as Bill Parker, supplied many a laugh through his vivacious humor and sarcasm; and in the end supplied the greatest shock by announcing that he and Angela Forbes had eloped. This was so astonishing because it was hardly expected from “Willie” who was a confirmed bachelor, and was regarded by his sister Dulcy as still a youngster. The ideal butler, Henry, played by Elmer Watson was a masterpiece in itself as the majority of ether parts was filled with humor. Outstanding in the play were William Feldman in the character role of the middle aged Mr. Forbes, Walter M. Knie as the young husband, Gordon Smith; and Barbara Lawrence as Dulcy. The Bulkeley W. M. I. orchestra directed by Howard T. Pierce furnished the music. ' ■ ==- 1 9 3 4 “ Page one hundred three Declamation Contest On Friday, April 13, 1933, the annual declamation contest was held in the Bulkeley auditorium. Contrary to the usual custom, it was held in the morning at a regular school assembly. The entire routine of the contest was changed due to the fact that there was so large a student body, making it impossible to have elimination in each class by the faculty as in former years. The band played before and after the contest, and also rendered a selection during the intermission, at the first half of the contest. Now, a word concerning the choosing of the speakers. Each contestant from each class chose a short selection and delivered it before a group of judges, comprised of faculty members who decided as to who would represent the class in the finals. Norman Schlink of the class of 1935 won the contest and his prize winning speech was entitled “Salvage.” The opposition was very close. Second place was awarded to Edwin Brown of the class of 1936 who chose as his selection “Mark Antony’s Speech” from “Julius Caesar”. He presented a very difficult address in a very commendable manner for which he received a tremendous ovation. Besides Schlink and Brown there were the following who took part in the contest. Edwin Solomon, ’35 .............. “The White Settler” John Tubbs, ’33......“The Open Door” by Hugh Black Walter Kissel, ’34 .... “The Root of Courage” anonymous Atmore Strom. ’34 ....... “Excerpts from Franklin D. Roosevelt’s Inaugural Address” John O’Brien, Jr. ’35 ................. “John Brown” Wrells Lawrence, ’36 .... “Excerpts from Franklin D. Roosevelt’s Inaugural Address” The judges for the occasion were the Rev. W. Hoag, Harry Gordon, Lawrence A. Chappell, Clifford H. Belden, Joseph E. Dalton, Edward P. Calvert, and Peter C. Ward. THE WHALER The Serenades The Serenaders have been especially successful this year. Mr. Howard T. Pierce and his seventeen youthful musicians have seen to it that only the latest and best of modern music is played. At the beginning of the school year it was voted that the Serenaders play at all Bulkeley dances, and this snappy orchestra has proved very popular. It is also customary every year for the Serenaders to present an act with the W. M. I. Glee Club both at the Potpourri and at a local theatre. The musicians are as follows: Morris Einhorn, Milton Sheriff, Maurice Johnson, Lloyd S. Williams, Russell Fitzgerald, Morgan Daboll, E. Taylor Chamberlain, Per-ino D’Elia, Ellis Hartman, Joseph Keenan, Robert Williams, Isaac Blonder, Francis Tavlor, William Katz, Joe Ganey, John Bolyston, and Worth Davis. Glee Club The Bulkeley Glee Club, although it is the newest school organization has become quite a factor in the musical life of the school under the tutelage of Mr. Howard T. Pierce. The group has sung at three potpourris and at various assemblies. Last spring, five of the members represented the Glee Club at the Eastern High School Chorus in Providence. 1st Tenors Thomas Burke Benjamin Thorn Vernon Dickson Nicholas Donatello Wells Lawrence Thomas DiMaggio Francis Perry 2nd Tenors Maurice Johnson Milton Sheriff Max Boguslofsky Arthur Perry Norman Breed Baritones Basses John Azars Amos P.

Under the able direction of Howard T. Pierce, the orchestra has well proven its merit at various school functions. Last year the orchestra traveled to Newport, R. I., to enter the New England Music Festival and won third place in its class against competition of all New England. Membership in the orchestra is open to students of both Bulkeley and W. M. I. At all major dramatic events it is customary for the musicians to play an overture and entertain between acts. This year the orchestra offered a concert on one of the Bulkeley Cultural programs, which was very well received.

The Bulkeley Band under the direction of Mr. Howard T. Pierce is in the midst of a very successful year. For the first time in all its history, the enrollment has passed the fifty mark. This organization performed at the major athletic events, the Armistice Day and N. R. A. parades and gave concerts both in local theatres and in our own auditorium. There was no State band contest, but the Bulkeley band journeyed to Newport, R. I. last May and participated in the New England Music festival. In Class C competition the Bulkeley band took third place. The larger number of underclassmen, especially freshmen in the band is very encouraging, and gives much promise for forthcoming years.

These young men have learned to estimate and understand the value of keeping abreast of current events here and elsewhere through The Day's columns. Those among you who have not learned this lesson should take up the subject. Those matriculating to college will find The Day, sent by mail, a welcome P.G. subject.
