But to deprive a class such as ours of its Class Book-the best possible sou- venir of our high school years-was, we decided, out of the question, so we set to work determinedly even though it meant going to press a few months earlier. This year's graduating class is somewhat smaller than in former years because many of its members have left for service in our Armed Forces. These and the others who plan to leave after graduation will, we know, find the special war courses, the accel- erated physical education program, along with the regular activities of Hartford Public High School in- valuable aids to them in military life. The countless lessons which we have learned here will not only make us better able to participate in our country's war effort, but will help us take an active port in the building of a peaceful postwar world. With this in mind, we have chosen as our central theme Hartford Public High School-eBuilding for the Future. Thus we have acquainted you with a few of the 'tlihiiculties which threatened the publishing of this wartime edition. We have, too, introduced our theme and explained our motives in selecting it. There now remains to express our hope that you find enioyment in the pages of this, your Class Book. J. F. W., Editor-in-Chief. 7 Isnt g -1. K ,I 'X I wa e,.

It was the first high school in Connecticut to raise a service flag. We shall not soon forget that inspirational evening when the ceremonies were held on the school lawn. The program, which included an address by Mayor Spellacy and selections by the Bradley Field Band, was broadcast on the radio. The climax of the evening came when the Student Council officers raised the flag, which, at that time, contained 537 blue stars and 3 gold stars. As this is written, the number of blue stars has increased to more than 900, and the gold stars now are 5.

The Victory Corps is fast becoming the very heart of our school. It stands as another example of the fact that When Hartford High does some- thing, it does it in a big way. The Victory Corps needed no urging, no slogans or campaigns, it was accepted for what it is, and accepted wholeheartedly. Eager to be a part of the work of the Corps, the students have originated services which heretofore were unheard of. The enthusiasm has come from the far corners of the school! Clubs have added recurring services to their programs to qualify their members in the Corps. Each department, too, has sought to represent itself in the work. Volunteer hospital workers have been provided by the Girls Biology Club. The library has invited the sophomores to work there in a book drive, collecting books for the boys in service, making scrapbooks for the U. S. O., and gathering material on nutrition. The Sketch Club is providing posters. The Girls Lead- ers of the Physical Education Department has sent recreational directors to the settlement ho-. ses in the city. Groups under the Biology Department have been instructed in planting and caring for victory gardens. The usefulness of these groups has been recognized by the city, and, as a result, they have been furnished plots for their gardens. The Mathematics Department is encouraging through a special program better and larger numbers of mathematicians. The department has also been stressing the importance of mathematics, especially in these times. The members of the HPHS Fire Brigade, which was set up last year, are thoroughly versed in the latest Civilian Defense methods and take complete charge of policing the school during air raid alerts. The Home Economics Department is making soldiers' kits and doing work for the British War Relief. The Manual Training Department is making model airplanes which are being requested by the Air Corps. The Commercial Department has supplied the local Draft Boards with clerical workers. The members of the Boys Club are aiding in the janitorial service of the school, because of the shortage of manpower. They are serving as air raid messengers and as Civilian Defense fire watchers as well. The English Depart- ment is aiding students in writing good, interesting letters to service men. The Girls League by the time this is read will have trained and sent many of its members to child-care centers as aides. The clubs and departments have already caught the spirit of the fight, and the Victory Corps has been the impetus. It has proved its worth by contributing to the war effort, and by training pupils for actual service in the Armed Forces. Even with this, each day finds another activity and another service added to its score. The Corps was started with the temporary purpose of speeding the victory by engaging youth in the innumerable necessary civilian services, but we cannot but feel that the mark left on us by the Victory Corps will be an indelible one. 135 4 4 A -7- -3 li- C LU B S Builders for the Future NTIL this year, our clubs, which constitute the backsbone of school life, have thrived healthily and kept up the fine spirit of their founders. Our generation, brought up in a depression, is now faced with the difficult conditions of war. Some clubs have met the situation by discontinuing activities for the duration for patriotic reasons. Others, in spite of difficulties, carry on, and still others have given over their services to War Work. The Girls Biology Club, for example, was the first to take steps toward doing its part in the Victory Corps. The work they have clone, their association with patients and the hospital staff, has furnished them information and experience, much pleasant, some otherwise, that besides giving them, on the whole, a good time will be valuable in later life. The World Problems Club is thriving as never before under the challenge of the present situation. Its theme this year, Youth in a World of War, has given them unlimited opportunities for an interesting and profitable program. Perhaps the members of this club will be the chief instigators of a plan for World Peace. CWe can dream, can't we?J That debating is a live-wire activity in HPHS was proved once again by the fine intra-club debates held this year. Though the State Debates were cancelled because of war conditions, the HPHS Debating Club lost no interest in the forensic art lClub Night notwithstandingl. The last year's Batterson champs fthe Hopkins Debating society, if you haven't heardi were all set for this year's big debate on the topic of the establishment of a post-war federal world union. Despite a loss in membership, there was no loss in enthusiasm. Proof? Just look at their club pins, not to mention their work at the American International College Junior Congress and that Club Night skit. Each club being so confident of winning the Batterson Debate, it seems too bad that we have to go to press before its occurrence. 1 37 M If YFPNVM em.. nuwuaununnv as , Wm.

A The Astronomy Club, with others, has had to give up, for patriotic reasons, its long-distance trips to observatories and other points of interest. But where there's a will there's a way, so by combining study with healthful exercise, they have become a skillful and experienced group of hikers. Ciimaxing a season of well-planned, informative, and entertaining programs, including the annual Christmas and Valentine programs, the Latin Club participated wholeheartedly in a maior activity of the Victory Corps-rationing. The learned scholars were, we understand, of unusual service. The Sketch Club Cfounded by Miss Frances Bacheler in 19121, direct descendant of a club which met in 1905, develops in the minds of the members an appreciation of art and encourages the individual techniques in the use of mediums. The typical meeting is full of laughter and iest as well as serious moments. Outings are jolly and initiations gruesome. Even the bashful are transformed by the friendly companionship. Just now the club is supplying posters for the many activities of the Victory Corps, as it has always aided every worthwhile cause. ll Circolo Italiano carried on its distinctive program this year and continued to be one of our most worthwhile clubs. This is the fourth consecutive year that the Thomas J. Quirk Circolo Italiano Scholar- ship of Hfty dollars, financed by the proceeds of the annual show, will be awarded to a pupil attend- ing Summer School at Middlebury College. The Club has also established another scholarship, presents books to the school library yearly, and I could continue down the list, but I regret to say that lack of space prevents me. They are without doubt doing a fine job. Sports Days have always been longed-for events for the Girls Leaders Corps and this year was no exception. Girls from Weaver, Hall, Manchester, and East Hartford High all took part in a program of varied games which ended with speeches by Miss Pritchard and Mr. Quirk. The acquaintances made and the experiences gained at these Sports Days will be of inestimable value in future life. We realize that several clubs have gone unmentioned but it would take volumes to tell about all their wonderful accomplishments. This section is merely a representative of them all. However, we cannot omit the Students Council. This year that unique body, under the guidance of Miss Pritchard, has done an exceptional job. Their outstanding accomplishment was the complete and overwhelming success of Stamp Out Pearl Harbor Day. Of course, the success was not entirely due to the efforts of the Students Council, but to the magnificent response of the pupils. Clubs, perhaps more than anything else, teach us how to work harmoniously together, help us to plan and act for ourselves, how to be good leaders and followers-all of these vitally necessary for the future world of peace. 139 -Q..-fl M k 0 J in 62 F if 5 4.4- f 1-- 5 2'f'f!in2.?!?Nf 4 Qlf ,Q vinyl, .v Y 'J' fish?

SMITH 141 The Inter-High School A Cappella Choir Instead of the customary seventy-two regular members and eight substitutes, in order to have a more flexible group, this year the Inter-High School A Cappella Choir was composed of only sixty-four mem- bers and eight substitutes. Last May members in this outstanding musical organization were chosen by competitive trials from 349 candidates on the basis of their voice quality, pitch accuracy, reading ability, scholarship, school attendance, tardiness, deportment, and Intelligence Quotient. During the twelve years of this Choir's existence, it has contributed much to the community, perform- ing at many civic events. At the three festival contests in which it has participated, the Choir has been awarded highest rating. National and international broadcasts and other performances have received the enthusiastic approval of music lovers. Under the direction of James D. Price, the Choir presented Christmas concerts at the three high schools, performing at H.P.H.S. on December ninth. The highlight of this inspirational program was the Choir's ren- dition of Percey E. Fletcher's Ring Out Wild Bells. After its annual invitation spring recital, continuing an activity begun two years ago, the Choir gaveya recital before the Hartford Rotary Club and was enter- tained at luncheon in the Bond Hotel Ballroom on May third. The Choir ended its season early in May. The HPHS Senior Choir Joseph Haydn's renowned oratorio, The Creation, was the work undertaken by the Senior Choir this year. Because of the decreased enrollment in the school, the Choir consisted of only 250 voices. The dili- gent work and spirit of the members overcame this difficulty, however. On Friday, May 21, under the leadership of James D. Price, ably assisted on the financial side by the earnest efforts of Mr. David Leader and the student Ticket Committee, this work was presented at the Bushnell Memorial with three soloists and the Inter-High Orchestra. The HPHS Band Its membership severely depleted because of the war, the H.P.H.S. Band continued to function during the past year under the capable leadership of Mr. Green. The Band should be especially commended for its playing at the New Britain and Weaver football games. 145 The HPHS Senior Orchestra Founded during the first world war, the Senior Orchestra is once again going through a similar period in its long and successful existence. This year Miss Riggs became the new director, and despite great losses due to war work, th orchestra continued in fine style. Since few of the members are graduating, next year's organization should be top-notch. The Inter-High Orchestra The winner of many honors and awards, the Inter-High Orchestra, founded in 1927, maintained its high standards during the past year in spite of decreased enrollment. Under Mr. Price's baton, the Orchestra presented its annual program at each of the three high schools and, as usual, plays at the three gradua- tion exercises this year. The Orchestra also accompanied the H.P.H.S. Senior Orchestra in the presenta- tion of Hadyn's The Creation. The Combined Senior Glee Clubs With the departure of Mr. Elmer for the armed forces, Miss Duguid assumed the directorship of the Glee Clubs. The clubs have worked both independently and combined on patriotic hymns. Club Night found the Glee Clubs once more introducing the program. One of the highlights of the season was the fine work done in assemblies by quartets and octets composed of members of the clubs. 144 :Cari-.ge September 9-School Opens. lt started all over again.

Amid gay decora- tions of brown and orange streamers and yellow pumpkins and an old witch hanging from the ceiling, the fellows and girls danced to the strains of Pat Burd and his Club Royal Orchestra. Tom Reynolds, as chairman of the dance, and the whole committee are to be congratulated for the fine job which they did. The dance was enioyed and will long be remembered by all who attended it. ' THE YULETIDE Despite the inconveniences brought on by war, the annual Yuletide dance was held. Dancing feet kept time to the melodious music of Buddy James and his Orchestra. Red and green made up the effective color scheme. A large Christmas tree decorated with brightly colored lights was in the center of the fioor. Various other smaller trees were placed at advantageous angles. The girls made a patriotic gesture when they wore red, white, and blue defense stamp corsages, instead of the usual flowers. THE RALLY DANCE On Nov. 21, amid gay decorations of blue and white streamers, footballs, pennants and other similar obiects, the football team was honored. The couples gaily danced the sweet and swing arrangements of Bob Kulpanowski and his orchestra. At the inter- mission a rally was held during which three new prizewinning cheers and two prize- winning songs were introduced. After the cheering was finished, Hal Heintz, captain of the football team, introduced each member of the team present. Each one said a few words of the coming Weaver game. lt was surely this rally and dance which inspired the boys to go out and beat Weaver on Thanksgiving Day. THE RATIONED HOLIDAY HOP With the rationing of gasoline, sugar, coffee, and other numerous articles, the social committee of the Students Council undertook the idea of having a Rationed Holiday Hop. The motto for this was, Everything is rationed except fun, music, and a good time. Bob Kulpanowski and his orchestra played both sweet and swing for the enioy- ment of the dancers. As a special number a grand march was led by Rae Clough, chair- man of the dance. After the march was over, address books were given both to boys from school and to graduates who were present and who were going into the Armed Forces of our country. xt J' X X K , A ' Lf r-iygfgg ,t A 1.

Our master of ceremonies, George Blumenthal, greeted us and gave a side- splitting imitation of our principal. lMr. Quirk laughed hardest of aII.J The entertainment began with' a piano solo by talented Eleanor Moiesky. Then came that golden-voiced Irish tenor Ed you can tell by mine accent Silverman, who gave his rendition of Moonlight Becomes You. Everyone roared as Dot Purves smoked her unlit pipe as the father in the Leonards at Home, the only skit of the evening with a feminine cast. Why did the audience snicker when Betty Space was announced as the studious daughter? But when it came to playing the fiddle, Conrad Rothman scored as big a hit as Rubinoff did on his visit to HPHS. Bob Urban was a stooge all evening, but he really tore the house down with his solid piano arrangement of The St. James Infirmary, which he also bvocalized. Bill Burns as Adolf, Dick Young as Muss, Bill Cosker as Hirohito, and Arnie Timor as Laval tied for first place as the most unpopular man in the world. Mike Yedziniak showed good form as he ran effortlessly Around the Conference Table. The big question of the evening was Who are the Mysterious Ling Sisters? They sang in the dark and all we could see was their phosphorus masks. Those potential vaudeville stars, Lou Caputa and Bill Connors, won the individual prize for their hilarity in one of the highlighting acts of the evening. Lou exhibited his skill at sleight of hand by pull- ing the shirt off the back of the unsuspecting Bill. Last but not least came the prizewinning skit put on by our athletes, Hal Heintz, Bill Pitkin, .lack Scully, Tom Reynolds, Bill Leahey, and also Bob Donovan. Everyone in the audience was amazed as SkulI was carried into the Auditorium on a stretcher. The amazement soon turned to laughter as Jack exhibited a sprained thumb. After the show, there was dancing in the gym which was gaily decorated with balloons. Music was supplied by Bob Kulpanowski and his orchestra. The feature was a Virginia Reel. Without a doubt we all had a marvelous time, and it is a certainty that the Senior Night of '43 will long remain in the memories of all who attended it. 149 K '-1. 4, N SENIOR RECEPTION COMMITTEE William Pitkin Thomas F. Reynolds John S Lorraine Ciough Beiiy Lou Garrify KuIpanowski's Orchestra 150 CLASS NIGHT ADDRESS f-:lf- N BEHALF of the graduating class of 1943, I bid you a cordial and sincere welcome to this, our Class Night program. Tonight our historians, prophets, and testators will try i to recall and evaluate the many happy days we have spent together at H.P.H.S. l To you, our faithful parents, who have been so eager that we get the best from our school life, we dedicate this Class Night program. We, who are to be graduated next Monday night, realize that we are going out into a world that has been completely upset by the devastation of war. Many of our classmates will receive their diplomas in absentia, as they have already entered some branch of the armed services. These boys are enduring sacrifices and hardships in order that future graduating classes may have the opportunity to become citizens of a free and democratic country: a country where they will have the right to speak as they please, to worship as they choose, to secure a substantial education, and to live a full and free life. We are proud of these boys, and the many more who are to ioin them in the near future, not only for what they are doing, but because they are fine examples of the type of men who daily pass through the portals of Hartford High. The service flag of our school already contains five gold stars, and to the parents of these boys, who have given the last full measure of devotion, we promise that Hartford High will never forget them and what they have done. But, for this evening at least, let us try to forget the perilous conditions that exist throughout the world, and try to recollect the happy days spent here in H.P.H.S. It seems that only yesterday we were bewildered freshmen looking for the elevator to the third floor. The days passed quickly, however, and soon we en- tered the sophomore class. That was a great day for all of us, because we were no longer the babies of the school. From that day to this it has been a whirlwind, athletic victories and defeats, receiving four A's, or less, on our report cards, assemblies, social events, Senior Night, and now Class Night. The lin- gering memories of these glorious days at H.P.H.S. will always help us to uphold her standards. We guarantee every one of you, who have honored us with your presence tonight, an evening of ioyous entertainment. lt is with pleasure l again heartily welcome you to the 1943 Class Night Exercises. HAROLD F. HEINTZ ' 1 5 1 YW C L A S S E S S AY That Light May Come Again HE battles America has fought, the victories she has won, the heroes she has bred, the progress she has made since her discovery are recorded in the poems her people love. The pioneer, the soldier, the statesman-all those who fought and worked to make America freedom from fear. Yet to millions in other nations, these privileges have never been granted. Just as a strong, free, united nation live in our country's poetry. We who live in America today have always known freedom of speech, freedom of religion, freedom from want, and the Americans of the past fought to gain and to preserve these advantages for this nation, our young men are now fighting that these same liberties may be enjoyed by everybody everywhere. The spirit of our dead heroes is an inspiration to us today, and it is America's poets who have kept that spirit alive. The discovery of American was brought about by the determination of Columbus to sail on, despite the pleas of his frightened, mutinous crew to turn back. This fearless spirit is captured by Joaquin Miller in these closing words of his poem, Columbus : He gained a world, he gave that world Its grandest lesson: 'Onl sail on!' Those who first colonized America sought the freedom to worship God which was forbidden them in the Old World. So dear to them was this privilege that they willingly left their homeland and brought their love of liberty to a new unsettled America. To these brave men and women and to the ideals for which they stood, Felicia Hemans has dedicated her poem, The Landing of the Pilgrim Fathers in New England. Many lines have been written in verse recording the deeds of our heroes of the Revolutionary War. Per- haps the best-known and best-loved of these is Paul Revere's Ride, by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. lt is dear to the hearts of Americans old and young because it reveals the part simple farmers and trades- men played in our fight for independence. During the bombardment of Fort McHenry in 1814, Francis Scott Key, a prisoner aboard a British ship, was inspired to write the poem which is the favorite of all America. Later it was set to music and, by a vote of Congress in 1931, became the National Anthem of the United States. Today, when this nation is again engaged in war, these words from the Star Spangled Banner hold a true significance for us Americans- Then conquer we must, for our cause it is iust And this be our motto: 'In God is our trust!' 152 Later in the nineteenth century, this nation was divided into two hostile groups-the Southern states, which- sought to withdraw from the Union, and the Northern states, which under the leadership of Abraham Lincoln strove to keep America one. Numerous poems have been written expressing the sympathies of either side, but few reflect the impartiality of The Blue and the Gray. Inspired by the women of Colum- bus, Mississippi who strewed flowers on the graves of Confederate and Union soldiers alike, Francis Miles Finch pays equal tribute to the fallen heroes of both sides. When we read the lines of this poem, we feel more strongly than ever that ours is a united America. From the trenches of World War I, came many a poem. None, however, has won such wide acclaim as ln Flanders Field, wherein we hear the now famous challenge of the dead soldiers to take up our quarrel with the foe. Its author, a Canadian, John McCrae, was later killed in action. His words, how- ever, remain a memorial to him and to those others who died defending the same great cause. America's poetry is a monument to the bravery and patriotism of our forefathers. The democratic form of government, which the heroes of the Revolutionary War fought to win, our young men are now fighting to preserve. The spirit of the soldiers of these two wars is shown in the poem, Valley Forge, by Roger Woodbury, a Hartford Public High School graduate now serving in the United States Army. Here he recalls the Valley Forge of February seventeen seventy-eight when the American forces were near despair. Here he recalls their brave commander, George Washington, who in the blackest moments had faith and prayed to God. Here, too, is a message to us from those soldiers who are now training at Valley Forge and from all our young men training and fighting all over the world. This message is Then let us pray, As once that great commander prayed to God, That light may come again to all the earth And all men, free from tyranny and want, May work again along the paths of peace. These words embody the ideals for which the soldiers of the United Nations are now fighting. They seek a peaceful world, but with that peace there must also be for all men freedom from tyranny and freedom from want. For the greater part, the wars our nation has waged had as their primary purpose national benefit. In this Second World War, however, the advantage of any one nation must be secondary to the greater cause-the freedom of all mankind. To our people this should be an incentive to fight harder and work harder for an ultimate victory. Just as the ideals of our forefathers have lived long after them in American verse, the work of today's poets will be read and the deeds of today's heroes will be remembered when all the world will live again in peace. JOAN F. WALLACE 155 fires CLASS ORATION WAR'S CHALLENGE TO YOUTH OUTH today has become the most powerful force in the world, a builder of destiny. Millions across the world have seen our most cherished hopes and ambitions shattered on-the altar of war. But on the other hand we are confronted with a new era of cos- mopolitanism, with the opportunity to continue a work where others have failed. And through the eyes of youth we see a vision of a better world. In the first place the challenge of the war to American youth is victory on every fight- ing front. The generals continually cry for young men who can face defeat bravely, and come back for more. They want young men who make up with daring what they lack in prudence and experience. These, they tell us, will win the war. The young people of today did not write the beginning of this story of con- flict, but they will write the conclusion. 'We must admit that we find the entire situation rather incredible. One moment we are merely school boys, and the next we find ourselves the bulwark of democracy, pit- ting ourselves against our enemies, testing and proving the mettle of our heritage and valor. So it is not with bitterness that weyoung people accept the challenge to fight, but with pride, for we realize that there are things greater than our generation and that we are a means of accomplishing an end, a free world. But victory has a hollow sound if it is o victory in arms alone. There must be a complete triumph of the principles of democratic government and of the rights of the common man. There must be a triumph of a neo-religious philosophy based upon the Christian ideals of brotherhood and love.. Unless we achieve this victory our struggle has been a hideous paradox. Whether or not we succeed in this end will be the supreme test of the spirit and actions of a free people and of the validity of our principles. This is what will take the courage: to put into actual practice what we have been telling the world is the American way of life. lt takes more courage to live for a conviction than to die for it. In other words, shall we be able to receive as our equals and our brothers those who are now our enemies? It is easy to see that this victory will not be won in a short ttime upon the battlefield, but by years of working and living together, and by understanding and appreciating one another's differences. This, too, is a iob for young people. So we find ourselves challenged by the same fundamental problems that have always faced men. Yet these problems have become infinitely more complex as history advances. However, because these prob- lems are so fundamental, before we can work for the healing of the nations, we must first work toward an ideal of perfection in our own personal lives. Luke says, the Kingdom of God is within yourselves. It means that each one, each student of high school, if you wish, living his own daily life in complete har- mony with himself, his God and his fellowman can be the fountain-head of that Kingdom in his own com- munity, his community in the nation, the nation in the world. To use the words of Edmund Burke, it is a case of morality enlarged. This is not the time for cynicism or discouragement. For the first time in history we are thinking in world-wide terms. It is obvious that we have deceived ourselves too long with short-sighted thoughts of nationalism and with indifference to the situation in countries other than our own, forgetting that the price of freedom -is responsibility. Now our great task lies in the building of an 154 international federation, composed of peoples of vast differences in heritage, and in economic and politi- cal structure. The need for some world organization has become ironically apparent. American young men have scarcely had the opportunity to taste the fullness of American freedom. Hundreds of thousands have had no chance to vote. They have quietly sacrificed their dreams of building homes and raising families in the land of liberty for which they are now called upon to fight. They are not allowed to seek a higher education in order to gain wisdom and leadership so that they might enrich this countrty which they are called upon to defend. In fact, many cannot even finish high school. This is not what we call freedom. But you will say that all this is necessary to preserve our way of life. Yes, this is necessary now, but in a larger sense it would have been entirely avoidable if, about twenty years ago, we had not been so short sighted. Through the League of Nations we might have laid the foundation for the international under- standing that the present war shows we so sadly lack. Until we do establish world understanding we cannot achieve lasting peace. From this war there must spring a league uniting all the nations. It must have coercive power to deal with any aggression. The individual countries in it must be willing to con- cede a few personal ends for the good of all. There is now a resolution on the part of many in our country to call for world federation. This idea has in it the principle that our nation must adapt: a global view of man's relationship with man. As the communities of this country are made up of people of different backgrounds, and yet are uni- fied by a common tie of Americanism, so the peoples of the world must be united by a common faith. lt must be a faith in the universal aim of mankind, and faith in one supreme Reality. Some may say that these are still the dreams of young idealists. Surely if we are old enough to fight and die, we are old enough to love and to lead. If the experience and richness of years are denied us, perhaps we can make up for it with vigor and confidence in our cause. For when youth ceases to have ideals and to believe in them, man's progress has come to an end. We believe that man's capacity has not been realized, that there are new realms of thinking that have scarcely been touched. We believe in the pioneering spirit of youth, youth filled with a divine discontent, willing and able to change and work toward a better day. This then is the one great hope of young people today: that the visions and conceptions we have of democratic principles, of love, of God, and of faith in the common man, that these visions become vibrant actualities. Thus the challenge of the war to American youth is victory, a fighting victory that will put us in a posi- tion to share a way of life that we feel is iust and good. But even more, the challenge of the war to American youth, to German youth, to British, to Italian, Chinese, and Japanese, to all young people every- where, is Peace. , BRUCE W. SMITH .F X A Lk: C2 155 Class Poem SERVICE FLAG RAISING Life sang a new song That night we raised the flag, We were as if living in a dream, And yet it was the awesome fact, right or wrong, That was swelling in our hearts, Swelling as though to burst them With pride and grim foreboding. And staring through earth-haunted eyes, We asked: Have we not stood here once before And lived the self-same moment And felt our spirits soar, As now they do? Who are these figures, these shadows, Are they not those of men long past? Dead men, in consecrated death, Who come back to raise the flag? But a man rises to speak, And on the listening air Will not words be inscribed for immortality- Fourscore and seven years ago- But the speaker passes on: That this nation, under God- Yes, and we bow our heads, This nation-under God. - Shall not perish from the earth. And we look at the gold stars And wonder. But this man is not the same, The words are not the same, Only the soul of the words is the same. No longer do we dream. Our spirit rises with the flag, And every heart leaps exultant With sudden realization. For there, upon the flag outfiown Are the numbers, Five hundred, A thousand, Two thousand, And each wonders, Which is mine? - And the gold stars become one With the golden stars of the sky. BRUCE W.

R ichard Cosgrove T ESTLED in the picturesque mountains of Avon, just outside the great educational center of the East, Hartford, Conn., the spacious grounds of Amann's Health Farm can be found. A huge neon sign near the drive flashes on and ot?-a sign which bears the legend: You Tear Them Down, We'II Build Them Up. As Jose Slombone, the great philosopher, once said, Let us proceed ahead -to the main doorway of the house. As we enter, we find ourselves in the cozy lounge and lobby of the building which is the home of Mr. Amann's inmates-that is, guests. Bianca Shtrook, the receptionist, is busy at work. Two grotesque-looking charac- ters are occupied in some strange task. These must be Bosco Fadingway and Tonto. Not only must they be, they are. Let us listen: TONTO-lCounting briskly, his nose in a newspaper, which isn't such a bad place for itl One, two, one, two, up, down, up, down, three, four, three, four, up- BOSCO lln the midst of his bending exercisesl Not so faaaaaaast. TONTO-Come now, Fadingway. You came to us a mere shell of a man. How do you expect us to build you up, if you don't co-operate? By the bye, how did you man- age to get so run down? BOSCO-Well, it's like this. I was working very, very hard. I had to spend three months in Mike Niekrash's Noodle Factory to gather material for my latest novel, For Toll the Bell-Whom? TONTO-Here's hoping that the book comes out of it better than you did. BOSCO-You remember Leonard Udolf, don't you? TONTO-Oh, sure. He graduated with us. BOSCO-Well, Lennie illustrated my book. He's living in Greenwich Village now. I asked him how he liked it there-with all the models and actresses, you know. He told me it was interesting. 158 TONTO-Say, speaking of grads, they're certainly making the headlines anyway. I was iust reading the Morning Star-News-Gazette-Clarion-Herald-Despatch-Courant. Phyllis Gregg is editress-in-chief. These career women! Listen to what the paper says: FROG HOLLOW SECEDES FROM CITY OF HARTFORD! BOB DONOVAN ELECTED FIRST MAYOR!! BOB ARMSTRONG LEADS REVOLT FROM IN BACK OF THE ROCKS!!!-for latest details, consult your radio. BIANCA-Excuse me, but what's new in the sporting world? Is the Angel still wrestling champion? BOSCO-Of course not. Gordon Nelson beat him last month. TONTO-Say, listen to this: TARASCIO TILTS TILDEN. How do you like that? Andy finally got what he wanted. So what if Tilden is 72. It says in Bob Radigan's column, With Malice Toward Everyone, that Jack Scully is strangely absent from pro-basketball circles. BIANCA-Dr. Kripas of our staff has been treating him for a sore thumb. There's also quite a bill here for Roberta Mclntyre. She's taking a rest from her hard work in her secretarial school. BOSCO-Say, I really saw a sad sight last night. Remember Ed Silverman? Well, I saw him on the corner of Main and Asylum Streets singing for pennies-singing God Bless America. TONTO-Say, isn't it almost time for your broadcast? BOSCO-Almost. BIANCA-l'd be willing to bet that a lot of our old classmates are in radio now. BOSCO-Well, Tiny Cashman had a fine installment of Seventh Husband last night, starring Tom Reynolds. TONTO-Tell me, old bean, over whose network do you broadcast now? BOSCO-Well, l've left the Aquamarine Network and now go out over the airwaves on Eloysius's Elegant Earachers. BIANCA-Who's announcing on that network? BOSCO-Bill Connors is still going strong. Last night he interviewed Roberta Paine, the Ambassador to Brazil. That job must agree with her. She looks as healthy and as cheerful as ever. Television is a wonderful thing. TONTO-Can Roberta speak Portuguese? BIANCA-Heavens, no! Josephine Boccaccio is her interpreter. TONTO-Say, I heard Bob Kulpanowski's Philharmonic Symphonette the other day. He's gone long-haired, but a little iive talk still slips in. You know, he's iust introduced a new work by Harry Loguidice, The Hartford High Jumphony in seven flats, Cpausel unfurnished. 159 lBustling is heard from outside. Enter X. Portia and Alexis.J ALEXIS-Save us! Save us! He's crazy. BIANCA-What's the trouble, girls? You look as frightened as Alberta Epstein used to on report card days. PORTIA-He's got a gun and a great big black dog. Don't let him in. gglglgg-Don't let who in? lEnter Flipton Fellj FLIP-Why-Flipton Fell, of course. PORTIA-Oh, it's you. We were nearly frightened to death. BOSCO-l can see why. FLIP-Well, l'm sorry, girls. But I have some very good news for you. Remember the will ofthe class of 1943? ALEXIS-You mean the will that was lost when Carl Johnson and Sebastian Gianni tried out their universal solvent on the office safe? BIANCA-You mean the will that Henry Kessler, noted archaeologist, sought for in the jungles of Brazil when he heard that it was the nuts ? A FLIP-Yep. That's the one. My dog, Snowflake, has found it in my valley. BOSCO-Which valley is that? FLIP-That's the valley that was how green. ALXEIS-At last we can tell the class of '44 what they inherited from us. Let's have Bosco include it on his program tonight. Portia can OK it, since she's'a lawyer. TONTO-Say, Flip, what have you been doing with yourself lately? FLIP-After traveling about the world and studying problems of nature for years, I have finally settled down in the city of my happy childhood as the confused president of the Ale and Quail Club and as chief trapper of the Beer and Deer Lodge: TONTO-What do you do in your spare time? FLIP-Oh, l'm Fish and Game Commissioner for the state. Lou Sanzara got me the iob. PORTIA-Say, Bosco, what time does your broadcast go on? 160 BOSCO-ln about five minutes. We're going to dedicate it to the class of '43, BIANCA-Why don't we call it Madcap Memories? We can tell the whole world about our class. BOSCO-Ah, yes. ALEXIS-l've iust read Millie Bouchard's book, How to get the Most out of Your Tech- nicolor Camera. She certainly picked up a lot during her stay at Loring Studios. TONTO-l hear Jim Tighe is an expert on bugs now. And speaking of experts, George Naktenis has iust published a treatise on the construction of the spitball. And you've heard- BOSCO-Sorry, Tonto, but it's time for the broadcast. You all know what you're sup- posed to do. Alexis, you begin-when you hear the signal. iWhistlel ALEXIS-Good evening, Ladies and Gentlemen. Tonight, Bosco Fadingway, noted author, commentator, playwright, and poet, is on the air! The management of Amann's Health Farm, the most peaceful spot in New England, is making thisbroadcast possible. But first, a word from our sponsor: TONTO-Men! Do you feel run down? Then do as Donald Greenbaum did when a bolt fell on his head in his airplane factory. BIANCA-Homemakers! Are you fatigued after a hard day of bending over your appliances designed by Crotty? FLIP-Sportsmen! Is the deer leading you too merry a chase? Then do as Bruce Smith did when Erma Swedberg jilted him. PORTIA-Schoolgirls! ls Professor Fred Dinney piling on too much homework? Then do as Marguerite Cormier did when she had spent six years in chemistry 'I. ALEXIS-Come and while away a few weeks at Amann's Health Farm. For here you will receive the services of such notables as our pretty blond vitamin adviser, Elvia Ander- son, the attention of our psychiatrist, William Burns, M.D. imentally deficientjp the care of our songbird for worried working-men, that noted psychologist, Tamara Zinovick. We guarantee to pick you up! We say- FLIP-We interrupt this program to present a special bulletin. Everett Kroopnick, noted manufacturer, has said that- BOSCO-We interrupt this special bulletin to present a program! ALEXIS-Come to our farm. We have everything but the farmer's daughter. And now, we present Bosco Fadingway. BOSCO-fa la Boake Carterl Hello, everybody, this is Bosco Fadingway. Tonight, I have a surprise for you. We shall present in a few moments, Madcap Memories, or 161 Them Was the Good Old Days, or It's an lll Win that Blows. No? Good! The entire program is devoted to the class of 1943 at Hartford Public High School just a few miles from here. That was my class, and the class of many of the guests and employees of the Health Farm. They thought we'd land up at Middletown. But we fooled them and came here instead. Scattered across the nation are many more of you who were with us there. lt has been fifteen years since we said farewell and went our separate ways. May our reminiscing recall some memories, some half-forgotten incident for you. Remember Flipton Fell and the track records he shattered, Portia Shylock, when she was president of the Girls League, Tonto, as he mimiced Bob Hope at the Juke-Box .lam- boree, Bianca Shtrook with her lovely smile, Alexis Lamarr, who always did her home- work during lunch, remember when Bob Urbon and I corned up Senior Night? Remem- ber these voices? Portia, you were always pretty strong for the Girls League. PORTIA-Who wasn't, Bosco? We turned out many a laugh-filled Stunt Night. BOSCO-Ksarcasticallyj And weren't the faculty skits good? FLIP-How about the Boys Club? We won't forget the time we had an outing at Camp Rainbow. That was when George Ahlgren raided the icebox at 2 A. M. ALEXIS-Well, our Juke-Box Jamboree was something we'll always remember. Dick Young made a convincing mean little kid that night. BIANCA-Remember Bill Pitkin when he imitated Betty Leonard at Senior Night. Wasn't he cute? TONTO-Remember how Angelo Cetola courted Verlon Fisher? BOSCO-And how Walt Jackson used to comment profoundly on the place of women in modern civilization. PORTIA-Ah, yes, those were the days! But Bosco, I think perhaps you ought to tell your radio audience about the surprise. BOSCO-Right you are, Portia. Ladies and gentlemen, an amazing discovery has been made by Flipton Fell. The original class will lost many years ago has been re-discovered and will be read tonight. X. Portia Shylock, noted attorney who is running for Congress to succeed Clare Luce, who is retiring because she can't think of any more words like globaloney, has already certified it, and here it is. ALEXIS-But first a word from our sponsor. This time it will be in music. Listen: UNISON-We're iust wild about Larry, And Larry's is the place for me. O exercise, more exercise will Give you energy. We're just wild about Larry, And Larry is our boy. He gives us muscles, such big muscles, To see us is a ioy. 162 So you see: We're just wild about, Cannot do without Laaaa-aaaaary. BOSCO-So come out to the Health Farm and see our guests on the plain gas-pipe racks. And now the Will of the Class of 1943. Portia. PORTIA-And so, we present to you in all seriousness our will. This is absolutely on the up and up. FLIP BOSCO-itogetherl You know what the farmer said when the bull died? TONTO PORTIA-Please. I mean it. Ahem. The Last Will and Testament of the Class of 1943: Dan Carlson leaves his quiet nature to Joe Skelley. Lars Swahn leaves his favorite basketball to Ed Williams. Betty Space leaves her ringing laugh and the ghost of the Ling Sisters to Phyllis Ahearn. Flo Johnson leaves her pep and vigor to Barbara Glynn. BIANCA-Fred Griswold leaves his broken-down bicycle to the Scrap Drive. Rae Clough leaves her pleasing personality to Mary Lou Flanagan. Dot Purves leaves her pipe from Senior Night still unlighted. Rena Tonino leaves her steel corset behind. ALEXIS-Vic Jarmolovich, Jack Scully, Tom Reynolds, and Harold Heintz leave their singing, dancing, and Miss Pritchard's writing to Leo Pinskey, Mike Rizzo, Paul Gilbert, and Ed Lemieux. Edith Kennedy leaves her red hair to Jean McMullen. Lew Caputa leaves his voice with the Freshman Choir. TONTO-Mike Yedziniak leaves his artistry to Dec Powers. Bruce Smith leaves the Chronicle in the lurch. Louis Feldman leaves his love for Latin with Pussy Landry. Terry Picard and Allen Brown leave the Sketch Club in good shape for Toby Lundy and Doris Rady. FLIP-George Blumenthal leaves hisjrish blue eyes to Jerry Gershman. James Gillespie leaves his art ability to Danny Riccio that Danny may turn out bigger and better paper dolls in history class. Fran Sansone leaves his pigeons to Lolita Joyce who will use them for her Dance of the Pigeons. Erma Swedberg leaves her petite appetite to Virginia Tharau. BOSCO-Mike Lundy leaves his dimples to Paul Claing. Bill Leahey and Bob Carey leave soft spots for themselves in Miss Whiting's heart. 165 Bob Donovan leaves the faculty in peace. Dave Kazarian leaves. Dick Young leaves Parkville-by request. Ray Standard leaves his zoot soot to Mr. Adler. PORTIA-To Miss Tracy and to Miss Hamilton we leave our aches and pains. ALEXIS-To Mr. Bailey we leave the financial worries of another classbook. BIANCA-To Miss Darling we leave a new needle with which to play La Marseillaise on her victrola. BOSCO-To Mr. Smith we leave a new Hymie Kaplan story. FLIP-To Mr. Blake we leave a masculine Owlet. TONTO-To Miss Ruggles we leave a new edition of Allen and Greenough. BOSCO-To Miss Coleman we leave a crate of assignment books for her poor freshmen. FLIP-To Mr. Quirk we leave a year in which he will be free from impersonation. PORTIA-And to the many who have helped us we leave our heartfelt thanks and best wishes. That's it. Our will. TONTO-We've had quite a life. ALEXIS-Yes, we can't say we haven't had our chance at life. BOSCO-Gee, that reminds me of-Oh, well. FLIP-I know what we're thinking of--all of us. BIANCA-We owe them the most. PORTIA-Bosco, don't you think you could- BOSCO-This is perhaps the toughest thing about memories. The ones that didn't turn out so well. We're all thinking of those that didn't come back. What happened to them is what's getting us now. Fellows we all knew who had an idea that cl chance at the future was worth fighting for, fellows who were our friends. Well, I guess that all we can do is remember them as they were and to be eternally thankful for what they did for us. This day is ours because of them. What we make of the world will speak louder than these stupid words of the gratitude we hold. I propose this as the goal, the prime purpose of the class of 1943: to make the most of a world that has been given us by our people, who struggled for what they sought. Pray that we may never be the parents of a generation who will have to go to war to find its future. Let today be ours and theirs. 164 I V AXIIWW ll ATHLETICS XS URING our four years at HPHS, we have seen a revival and a renewal of the enthusi- astic attitude of the school in general towards sports. For this change, we, the athletes, and, we, the students, thank and respect our principal, Mr. Quirk. lt was he who instilled in the body of students and faculty a fiery and strong competitive spirit by which we have gained, rung by rung, the top of the ladder. Athletically, this year has climaxed beautifully, the long grind. Some teams started out slowly and clumsily at the season's start, soon they were rolling through the arch of victory, never again to retread their steps back under that arch. Every sport was highlighted by the lamp of triumph and every athlete proud to have been a cog in the machinery. Under the most trying circumstances, our teams were ably directed by the genial man of football and basketball, the severe but admired man of crosscountry, track, and swimming, the understanding man of baseball-Coaches Newell, Amann, and Woodworth, respectively. We, the student body, appreciate their work. To 1944 athletics we leave the slogan, Good sportsmanship always, win or lose. 166 FOOTBALL HIS year, Coach Newell took a fine aggregation of boys and moulded them into a NY' iff fi htin , tou h team. It was a team that was a team, the best in man ears. Our 9 9 9 Y Y -I pride rose high when New Britain was deadlocked, 6-6. The season was climaxed by E the beautiful win over Weaver, a team that hadn't lost a game in two seasons. E I- I -- Q We had a fine captain in Harold Heintz, who led us through thick and thin with the up and at 'em spirit. ln our backfield, for the slippery and speedy boys, we had Captain Heintz, Vic Jarmolovich, and Harris. Our line-crackers or block busters were Tom Reynolds and Bat Castellani, and most of the time Nick Murowski was in there to steer us toward the double up-rights. With Lou Sanzaro the only letter man to return last season, the coach had a headache, but men like Swahn, Rizzo, Pelletier, Ladas, Tusia, Armstrong, and Heavey were iust what the doctor ordered. All season long, the line did an A-1 job and the maiority of the season's successes were due to the hole makers. They were especially strong in the New Britain and Weaver games, for whenever the foe started to move, they were checkmated but fast. 167 In making that record, our subs played a grand part, for there weren't many sixty minute men on the first team. Outstanding among the subs were Pinsky, Gillin, Pitkin, Cosgrove, Perry, the two Brighenti's, and last but not least, young Young. To those of the 1944 team, we say, Give 'em the works!

Well, they were right, for our boys made the premonition come true. Because of the large number of experienced players and an indomitable spirit, our team rolled up an impressive string of victories, winning T0 out of 'I4 games. Captain Bill Pitkin led the team in points scored, with Lars Swahn next in line. The captain made a fine team work as a fine team should work. By the good example he set, the other boys did a wonderful iob in tallying from the floor. Harold Heintz and Frank Wlodkowski were guards, and did they guard! Lars Swahn, Joe Heavey, .lack Scully, and Nick Soupel played forwards, and they moved in iust the direction that name implies. When the fellows on the floor got a little tired, Coach Newell could call on Bill Leahey, Joe Walsh, Eddie Williams, or Butch Thibodeau, all reliable players. The season started out rather poorly, with the team losing three games in succession by close scores. The turning point came in the game with New Britain, when our boys won in the final minutes of play. We were in trouble when we played East Hartford, but Skully relieved our suspense when he hooped one to pull the game out of the fire. After the show was over, we found ourselves holding the city and district titles. In the State Tournament, our team went as far as the quarter finals. Many of the boys will leave at graduation, but with the undefeated record of this year's second team, the future looks indeed bright. 170 BASKETBALL SCORES Hartford ....... ....... 3 2 East Hartford ........

In high school competition, however, Hartford defeated seven opponents including Gardner High of Gardner, Massachusetts. This victory was sweet revenge for the Owls because last year Gardner was one of the two High School teams to defeat the Amannmen. The conquest of the Gardner team was made even sweeter when it was done in the same way that the Gardner team had defeated Hartford last year, by winning the final relay. The team lost heavily by last year's graduation and through entrance into the armed forces by some of the members. Nevertheless, bolstered by up and coming sophomores and iuniors along with some veteran seniors, the team came through very handily, winning most of its meets by large margins. Charley Carlson, Paul Girdes, Paul Gilberts, Stan Dawidowicz, and Pete Bonee led the free stylers this year, Girdes emerging victor in the 220 yard swim in the state championships. Fran Henry and Ed Kola- kowski were consistently outstanding in the breaststroke, while Mike Yedziniak and Don Greenbaum easily 172 Wh proved to be the best backstroke team in the state. Yedziniak captured the crown in the 100 yard back- stroke at the state meet, closely followed by his teammate, Greenbaum, John Garvey and Pushkarawicz represented Hartford very well in the dives. One of the toughest breaks of the season for the team was the loss of Lambie Oberg, stellar sophomore performer, who was stricken with pneumonia a few days before the first meet. Through graduation, the team will lose Stan. Dawidowicz, Bill Boyce, and Pete Bonee, freestylers who swam various distances, Ed Kolakowski, stellar breaststroker, and Mike Yedziniak and Don Greenbaum, the two leading backstrokers in the state. Returning next year, however, will be Carlson, Girdes, Setzko, Oberg, Garvey, Gilberts, Henry, Pushkarawicz, and -the Powers Brothers, thus Hartford High seems as- sured of a successful team again in 1944.

Coach Amann did a wonderful job, which is nothing out of the ordinary, but this year, he had - ii a pack of rookies with the exception of one or two veterans, and the string of successes I E proves his ability to make runners out of iust ordinary boys. jj he The outstanding Hartford man this year was Ed Lemieux, a junior, who won the State Championship and avenged his only defeat. As consistent as Lemieux was Dan Carlson, the fellow in the number two slot. Those who won and earned their letters were Jack Scully, Don Green- baum, and Hal Tuohey, all seniors. The juniors were Joe Skelley, Bob Strickland, George LaFleur, Joe Ricu- pero, and George Carpenter. As for the team as a whole, not much need be said, for the record speaks for itself. The fellows worked in unison all of the time. Their diligence during practice made them fit for the taking of the title and their attitude at all times was that of victory. This year's squad numbered fifty and only five will leave at graduation. Those who return are ex- pected to bring the championship into its fourth year at HPHS.

Although hit hard by loss of members both by graduation and entrance into the Armed Forces and for other reasons, the boys have been working hard getting into shape and seem to be coming along all right. As the situation looks now, the team will shape up with Davis and Lyons in the 100 yard and 200 yard dashes, Griswold and Smith in the quarter, Joe Skelley and Don Greenbaum in the half and Ed Lemieux and Dan Carlson in the mile, Harris in the weight events, Spring and Turner in the high jump and Davis in the broad jump. Y Y From these boys, those who are graduating are John Lyons, a sprinter, Fred Griswold and Ted Smith, stellar quarter-milers, Don Greenbaum, outstanding half-miler, and Dan Carlson, one of the best distance men in the state. However, Davis, Skelley, Lemieux, and Harris should form the nucleus for a successful team next year. Because of the early publication of the Class Book this year, we are unable to give you any scores of meets. The schedule, however, follows.

A Coach Woodworth is hoping for another successful team to follow in the wake of its predecessors. Seven veterans are returning to the team. They include Captain Bob Armstrong and Hal Heintz, hard hitting outfielders, who have more than once broken up a game by their hitting, Big Bill Pitkin, a catcher with a bullet-like peg who can cut down and has :ut down many a runner trying to steal, Jack Scully and George Naktenis, pitchers of no little ability who have stopped many potent hitters in the ranks of their opponents, Bill Leahey, an infielder with an ability not only to field his position but also to get a hit when it is needed, and last but by far not least is Jimmy Griffin, sensational freshman of last year's team, an infielder who has already gained a reputa- tion for himself through his playing. Of these boys Captain Bob Armstrong, Hal Heintz, Bill Pitkin, Jack Scully, George Nakentis, and Bill Leahey are graduating. This leaves Jimmy Griffin as the only veteran for the '44 club so far. How- ever, once the season starts some bright prospects for next year's team should be discovered. The schedule is as follows: BASEBALL SCHEDULE fTentativel Saturday, May 'I-Kingswood Prep School.

One activity, however, that has continued to thrive is bowling. Many girls have become quite accomplished in this fascinating sport and have frequently scored spares and strikes, much to the dismay of the pin boys. How this war has changed things! A few years ago, the old folks used to say upon hearing how our gym classes were conducted, Why, in my day we used to have gymnastics for gym, and not all this 'tom-foolery'. But they can't complain now. If only they could see the girls in action, row after row of blue gym suits bending, weaving, going through all sorts of contortions called calisthenics, and liking it, too! Of course, it has its aftermath, but that gives us something common to groan about. Without doubt, the girls are becoming physically fit,land will be better able to stand the strain of war on mind and body. ff I YWO. QQ, mm 'W lei' KX 1 mfg! -.
