 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.
