As the curtain rises and the sands of the hour glass How slowly and steadily, we look upon the joys and sorrows we have experienced in our four years of high school. The parts we played will long be vivid in our memories as the drama of life rolls on. May we always feel that each enacted his role to the best of his ability. To our co-stars, our classmates and schoolmates, we bid farewell with the hope that the scenes we portrayed will long be with them. To our superintendent, our principal, our teachers, Father's Club, Board of Education, and city oflicials, who provided the stage and acted as coaches and directors, we wish to express our deepest thanks and sincerest appreciation. With- out their unsellish devotion, patience, and understanding, we would not now be presenting our dramatic closing after 720 performances. May this Yearbook be a souvenir of our role during four years on the Shelton High School stage that will bring many happy hours of retrospect in the years to come. -THE ARGUS STAFF, 1957. f-sr 'Qi 2 l :Simca -4' M li ya p, 1 ' f ek 7 ,w a , ss i of i , XM 1 h e A t lx f X , -N lg 'arf' 43212, !

FINALE Our play is drawing to a close The four great acts are almost through, Our cast prepares for the final call To enter a world that will be quite new. We look back on the past four years, Studying, working, doing our best. We've tried our hardest, done it well And in the end, we've passed the test. Slowly the curtain begins descending, Each person, each deed, all are as one. The moment of triumph at long last arriving, Our dreams now reality - our goal now won. -D.R. '57. 21 we-i if Vx' Sigh sv' 'N fX gPX Z' A LOOK BACKWARD MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING. We came on stage with apprehension, a little frightened, but eager-eager to meet the directors, tutors, and coaches who would mold us into leading players and stars of tomorrow. Although we were billed as Shelton High Fresh- men, we went on stage for the first time in the old Ferry theater. It wasn't long before potential leads emerged. Wayne Anderson and Rosalie Rzasa co-starred, with james Beses- check and john Viggiano in supporting roles. The Hrst part learned was that of being good students. Our reviews came out every six weeks and showed we were making progress. Under the expert direction of Mrs. Frager, Miss Vicari, Miss Verrett, and Mr. Bondos we took parts in the Hobby Club, Model Club, and Handicrafts. We also presented the Fresh- man Social very successfully. Time had fleet wings that first year. just as we realized we had overcome our stage fright, the curtain descended. TO HAVE AND HAVE NOT. We came back on stage a little more composed and relaxed, we had the feeling of our roles now. We knew the parts we were to play and had a beautiful new stage on which to perform. Co-starring roles were won by Carol Sticco and James Besescheck, while featured players were Peter Velleco and John Viggiano. We were no longer mere extras, but members of the chorus. Some of us were on the bowling team and in the chess and photography clubs. Small parts were played by our members in all productions, monitors, library aides, school band, and on the athletic field. Our banner presentation, the Halloween Hop, proved to be the musical of the year. Tragedy struck suddenly and sharply, affecting all-cast, directors, and stage hands. Our beloved director, Mrs. Margaret Pascucillo, departed from life's stage at the height of the season. In spite of our sorrow, in the best tradition of the theater, and as she would have wished us to, the play went on. OUR HEARTS WERE YOUNG. The curtain rose for the third year. No longer were we tyros. This was to be a big season, for now we were understudies for the greatest drama of our careers. This would tell whether or not we would succeed. Peter Velleco and john Viggiano, along with Carol Sticco and Mary Lou Tilki, won the lead roles. Again we knew anxiety when our great director, Mr. Tarbell, become seriously ill and took a leave from his duties. Miss Smith and Mr. Freiheit took over and we carried on. Cast as majorertes were Irene Michewicz, Mary Jo Lucas, Carol Sticco, Mary Lou Tilki, and Josephine Fufarog as cheerleaders, Rose-Marie Falco and Judy Smarz. The star of Brotherhood Week proved to be Grace Creed with her hrst prize essay. Masterminding the chess team were Ronald Berry, Ronald Taylor, and Lance Albrecht. The Spectacular for this season was the junior Prom. We were sprinkled with Stardust as we danced an Oriental Evening away. Hearts filled with happiness, we stood on our miniature Japanese bridge, over a looking-glass lake, and watched the curtain descend on our third and most happy performance. WINTERSET. At last we were stars in our own right. Our names were in lights. Our beloved leader was back with usg we were about to fulfill the promise we had shown. Top billing went to Walter Oko and Peter Velleco, while joan Chudy and Mary Lou Tilki were assigned supporting roles. Our troupe produced the valley region winner in the VOICE OF DEMOCRACY essay contest, Grace Creed. We were proud of our football team's unde- feated season because our company produced most of the stars. Others of our cast had their day in the limelight too. . . joan Chudy, the Betty Crocker homemaker, and Frances Cosci- ello, the D.A.R. girl. Mid-year tryouts came and went. Suddenly we realized we were ap- proaching the end of our long run. Frantically we worked, for there was still much to be done. The year book, variety show, senior banquet, the senior play, oh, if we could but hold back the sands of time. Our hearts grew heavy as we trod those beloved boards for the last time. As the curtain falls and we make our farewell bow, we say to those who worked so hard with us, In each of us you put a little of yourself, and through us you are reaching into eternity. G.C.'57.

All of these mold the individual, make him the one person who can play his specific role in the great drama of life. As we turn the pages in the years to come and dream of the past, may these scenes serve to recall those days, and the directors and coaches, the city fathers, admini- Your flag and my flag- Mr. Kingsley and Miss Collins decide on the answer at the high school office. stration, and our teachers, for the interest, patience, time, and effort they expended to prepare us for the long, long road which leads to success. The thespians look at their collection of Playbills as memory books, bringing back memories of the long hard road, studded with failures and successes. As the Playbill is to the thespian, so may these pictures in our Year Book, the result of the work of all the members of the Argus staff of 1957, be to us. The following pictures will serve to portray our theater and our play as we experienced it, and in this way become more than a mere picture book to leaf over lightly. It is rather a sweeping drama, puny as it may seem to the eyes of the adult world. It has had its come- dy, light and romanticg its fantasy, quizzical and effer- vescentg its farce, ribald and boisterousg and its tragedy, heavy and somber. 1 l Mr. Tarbell and Miss Zeigler begin a busy day in their office.

STUDENT COUNCIL The Student Council, the student governing body of our school, con- sists of representatives from all classes, clubs, and organizations, elected by their classmates and memberships. The main functions o fthe Council are being liason between faculty and student body, cooperating in the handling of minor school problems. This year it is also helping in the acquisition of illustrative materials- records, slides, film-strips-to help in the educational process, and donated a one hundred dollar scholarship to a graduate. Our Council holds membership in the Housatonic High School League of Student Councils, an organization making possible the sharing of ideas beneficial to all. It is the hope of the Student Council that its members, by learning the fundamental workings which.resemble the government in our democratic nation, will have a greater appreciation of the meaning of Democracy.

At the beginning of each period they collect absentee slips, sort and distribute mail, run errands, and in general render services when needed. These girls must have the quali- ties of courtesy, honesty, neatness, efficiency and trustworthiness, and be willing to serve with diplomacy. First row, left to right: P. Mut, V. Bomba, S. Norcross.

SPANISH CLUB On the third Thursday of each month we met and traveled along El Camino Real by way of film strips, records, and games. Activities, both social and educational, always had as their theme the furthering of our acquaintance with things His- panic. This, however, did not exclude other activities. A roller skating par- ty, a Christmas party, a trip to the theater, a picnic, and a trip to New York, are events which dotted our calendar and made for a successful year. And now we say, Adios, Y amigos . First row, left to right: A. Czaikowski, QI. Chudy, J. Devlin, R. Rzasa, B. O'Connell. Second row: G, Millea, B. Hamuka, M. Tottenham, R. Falco, C. Sharpe, I.

From the members of the club a team is chosen for games with other schools. The first team consists of L. Norton, President, R. Taylor, J. Slanski, F. Zeigler, and D. Weston. Matches have been played with Seymour, and others are pending with Darien and Cheshire. The game is one which trains the mind to think logically and look ahead. The members, who meet once a week to enjoy the mental stimulus of the game. Seated, left to right: L. Norton, R. Taylor, D. Weston. Standing: C. Albrecht, F. Zeigler, W. Slanski, A. Papier, H.

The program is planned to stimulate that interest, through dis- cussion hours, reports, speakers from schools of nursing, and with direct contact with representatives of vari- ous branches of the profession. Meetings are held regularly once a month under the supervision of Miss E. Smith, and whenever a visi- tor from the profession calls at the school to discuss the field. First row, left to to right: B.

DEBATING CLUB The Debating Club was organized earlier in the year at the request of a number of students interested in modern problems. The club met each Monday under the guidance of Mr. Zielinski. The basic element of de- bating-the ability to express ideas and to defend them under direct challenge-was instilled in the group. No attempt at interscholastic debate was made, but that is the ul- timate aim of all. Seated, left to right: G. Falco, J. Moore, A. Iadarola, E. Morris, N. Laico. Standing: A. Papier, D. Krause, F. Zeigler, President, C. Albrecht. PHOTOGRAPHY CLUB The Photography Club, one with small membership but great enthu- siasm, has been very active all year. Under the supervision of Mr. Frei- heit they have become quite elicient in the taking, developing, printing, and enlarging of pictures. The Argus staff is deeply indebted to the Photography Club for many of the illustrations of classrooms in ac- tion, assemblies, sports, and other school activities which are part of this, their Yearbook.

One project of interest to all was the making of pin-hole cameras. A field trip to study rock out- croppings and formations, a visit to the Bronx Zoo, and an address on scientific investigation by a member of the FBI were the highlights of the year's activities.

Its activi- ties have multiplied to the point rehearsals for the various events in which it participates overlap. The school year saw its participation in the War Memorial Dedication program, Memorial Day, Little League Day, and the Fourth of july celebration. Along with this it performed at football and basketball games, at school assemblies, and presented fall and spring concerts. Through the support of the Band Parents Club the members were privileged to enjoy the Ice Capades of 1957 and a picnic at the close of the school year. The school and community are proud of the mem- bers of the band for their ability as musicians, as a marching and drill unit, as a concert group, and as co- operative, willing, and well-mannered young men and women. They are a credit to all, especially to Mr. Nilson, band director. FRENCH CLUB The French Club is made up of second year French students inter- ested in the cultural aspects of French life. Meetings, held on the first Thurs- day of the month, featured programs prepared by selected committees. These included French games, slides of France, and one-act plays pre- sented in French. Holidays and spe- cial occasions were celebrated by parties fitting to the season. The members learned much about the literature and art of France and completed an enjoyable and profit- - able year with their annual trip to FRENCH CLUB First row, left to right: V. Bomba, J.

It provided an enthusiastic cheering section for athletic contests, and an opportunity for students to take an active part in such events. It helped promote school spirit and school pride, as well as being a good, con- trolled outlet for youthful enthus- iasm. PEP CLUB , Seated, left to right: G. Paskiewicz, D. ladarola, J. Micci.

The theme for this was T.V. Personalities. On our stage were the lovely, talented Dargon Sisters, Sergeant Frager with his drill team, Randolph CPC-rryj Herdman, our dancing doll, Beverly Walter, who assisted Mrs. Frager so capably with the production, and many others. The highlight of the evening was the Here Is Your Life presentation moderated by Mr. john Freiheit. Student body, faculty, and community were able to pay public tribute to Mr. Karl Tarbell, principal of Shelton High School, and a leader in education in Shelton for thirty-three years who is retiring in june.

SENIGR PLAY - Room For The Groom The Senior Play, a hilarious comedy entitled Room For The Groom, was presented Friday, April 12 to a delighted audience. The story evolved around young love and an interested family determined to help them attain happiness. One might say it all began with a ladder-a rickety, odd-looking ladder-and ended with the whole family using it in their efforts to help pretty Leslie and her hapless fiance, Bruce, elope. Calamity follows calamity and young love seems to be fighting a losing battle. Silly little quarrels, misunderstandings, an unemployed groom Qeven the Army doesn't want himj, a broken engagement. All appears to be lost. But love conquers all. With the cooperation of the whole family anything can happen and THEY LIVED HAPPILY EVER AFTER. Evelyn Allen ....................... ....

FOOTBALL With the opening of school in September came the period of rebuilding the football team for the coming season. Coach Finn and his assistants faced the first game against Seymour with trepidation. They knew not how well they had built. With Seymour defeated and Ansonia taken into camp in succession, they found that for the first time in many years they had molded a dreadnought. Cislo's ball handling and play calling was superb. Hill's ability to get downtield and snare passes was outstanding. Viggiano hit the line with power and force. When these men were held, Anderson swept the ends. The linemen blocked and held. There were no great stars, but eleven men moved as one, and with the end of the campaign came an untied and undefeated record, the best in the state. Two honors came to the Finn-men, the retention of the Shelton Looms Trophy for another year, and a special plaque from the C.I.A.C. in recognition of a record compiled against stiff Class A and B compe- tition.

A twenty game schedule was compressed into a ten week period, an average of two games a week. Although the squad was a green one, the boys persevered in their efforts. The goals for which they aimed were two, to win the Housatonic League crown, and to be one of the sixteen schools in- vited to the C.I.A.C. tournament. After winning the first game of the season against Woodbridge, the team had its successes and its failures. It was soon evident that the first goal was not possible to attain. Practically counted out of tournament play also, the team kept trying, and to the surprise of many, but not themselves, made it, ranked number sixteen in medium size school listing in the state. This was indeed a surprise, as it was necessary to defeat one of the most outstanding teams in that grouping, East Haven, to qualify. In a tense, tight game which went into over- time, the team did the impossible, coming through with the must victory. Pandemonium reigned supreme. Although defeated in the first round of tournament play by Killingly, the squad and the coaches are to be congratulated for their successes against great odds. 64 1.v.

A small, enthusi- astic, but inexperienced group answered the call, and practice got under way. The opening of the season was delayed by that vil- lain, jupiter Pluvius, and three games had to be re- scheduled. In spite of this, the squad, mostly under- classmen, hope to play the entire schedule of 16 games. The morale is high, and the team has voiced its con- fidence that, as the season progresses, so will its ability on the diamond. The question mark is the middle line-catcher, short-stop, and second base man. Should this trio come through, along with the strong pitching of veterans Cislo, Rich, and Brothers, it well could be that the league title will come back where it belongs. Coaches Murray, Skibo, and Frager are Working hard with their enthusiastic charges to make this possibility a reality. 1957 JUNIOR VARSITY TEAM First row, left to right: R. Purcell, H. Grifhn, S.

Sullivan ASSEMBLIES Student participation has characterized the majority of the assemblies during the year, with a variety of programs ranging from Shakespeare to community singing. The opportunity to per- form before the student body revealed that tal- ents, heretofore unknown, were possessed by many. The Thanksgiving season was remembered with a play portraying a Puritan school. A Puri- tan Prank, directed by Miss Lee, was much en- joyed. Tim Devlin, joan Stobierski, and Ray- mond Zabel proved to be true scene-stealers and comedians. Even then, boys would be boys. How not to play ball is demonstrated by members of the Pep Club. Once again, for the ninth time, Mr. Tarbell, Principal, had the pleasure of accepting the Shel- ton Looms football trophy from Mr. Andre Blumenthal, representing Sidney Blumenthal, Inc. We look forward to retiring this trophy but will miss seeing one who has become a real friend of the school, Andre Blumenthal. Lunch time in a Puritan school. Finally the eve of the big day came. A group of Pep Club members assisted in the pre-game rally. The tension was high, an undefeated record and state honors were at stake. The gallant war- rior-esses proceeded to show the Varsity how to play the game. Surely no more graceful and ac- complished gridiron stalwarts are to be found anywhere. Mr. Tarbell accepts trophy from Mr. Andre Blumenthal In February, in honor of two of our great presidents, the student body was privileged to hear an address by Mr. G. Ledbetter of New Haven, who discussed the problems of Brother- hood which faced our American democracy. The Reverend Mr. Champe, an old friend of the school and honorary alumnus, stressed the true precepts of brotherhood and what our following these would mean not only to us, but also to the world. Senior panel members discuss Why We Honor Washington. One group always welcome to the stage of Shelton High is the American Legion. This group of loyal supporters again showed its in- terest in the school. A committee from the organ- ization, led by Commander Mazur, presented a portable Batrow Neuromuscular Stimulator to the school. This will be of great value to the Athletic Department, and is much appreciated by all. Mr. Ledbetter, speaker, is flanked by Principal Tarbell and Reverend Mr. Champe. A group of seniors, selected from the Ameri- can History classes, presented a panel discussion on the topic Why We Honor George Washing- ton,', as part of the special assembly honoring Lincoln and Washington. All found the discus- sion both enlightening and interesting. There is indeed much more to Washington than the cherry tree, the Revolution, and the fact that he was the first president under the Constitution. Mr. Tarbell accepts Batrow Neuromuscular Stimulator from Commander Mazur. Everyone gets into the swing with the Bunny Hop. To open the winter season and to add to its funds, the Student Council sponsored the annual semi-formal Snowflake Ball which has become a highlight of the school year. ln a beautifully decorated auditorium the handsome gentlemen and their lovely ladies enjoyed lilting and dreamy melodies. The selection of the Snowflake Queen to reign over the dance highlighted this festive occasion. l-gi, e ll Mr. Tarbell gives nnal instruction before X-rays 72 are taken. The first social event of the school year was the Harvest Hop sponsored by the Sophomore Class. The student body turned out in large numbers making it both a financial and social success. The numbers most enjoyed were the group dances, especially the Bunny Hop, which served to break the formality and stiffness always evident at the beginning of a season. Budetti and Hudson honor Pat Godosky, Queen of the Snowflake Dance. On March 6th the Chest X-Ray Service Mobile Unit visited the school. Under the direction of Mrs. Marian Leonard of the American Red Cross, all students fifteen years of age and over, with parental permission, were able to take advantage of this service. We are fortunate in having such opportunities, for a well student is a good stu- dent, and illnesses promptly detected are more easily cured. EPILOGUE . . now the play is done, All is well-ended if this suit be won, That you express content, which we will pay, With strife to please you, day exceeding day, Ours be your patience then, and yours our parts, Your gentle hands lend us, and take our hearts. -SHAKESPEARE. As the last grains of sand sift through the hour glass, the curtain falls for the last time. The play is ended. Now there are but memories. The fears, the anticipation, the joys of success are now things of the past. Could we but start again, this time listening and following more carefully the advice and coaching of our directors. We have moved through the door for which there is no entrance. But this is not the end. It is but a beginning, a beginning on the circuit to the top. Ahead are new and exciting dramas, many of them, from which we may each choose. The locale will change, as will our associates, coaches, and directors, but the ultimate goal will be the same . . . success in the next phase of the drama of life. The struggle will be the same but different in that the competition will be greater than we have ever faced. May we all, as a result of the years just passed and the training received, be ready to take our places and play our parts with confidence, strength, dedication, and loyalty to the precepts of this, our country, which made all this possible. v':.- W1 IX S f .
