THE BACONIAN FOREWORD To familiarize those interested in Bacon Academy with the events of the past scholastic year, and to record, with print and picture, a lasting momento of their achievements and folly, is the task given each year to the Senior Class. To further this tradition we hereby present the “BACONIAN” for the year nineteen hundred and thirty. We offer this issue in the fond hope that our efforts will not be unappreciated, and our imperfections serve as warnings to future classes and help them to attain a greater degree of success. By the Seniors especially, will this year book be cherished as a priceless treasure, for, in later years, it will serve to bring back those almost forgotten memories of the happy times at Baconia and the names and faces of those who constituted this, the class of nineteen hundred and thirty. BACON ACADEMY Two THE BACONIAN TO MR. EDWARD M. DAY Wo. the class of nineteen hundred and thirty, dedicate this volume of “The Baconian” for his generosity to. and interest in, this institution bacon academy Three T H E BACONIAN DAY HALL At the close of school last year, Mr. Willard told the student body that Mr. Edward Day presented the chapel to Bacon Academy. He told us that this building was to be used as an auditorium for the students. During the summer the building was remod- eled. In the basement a new well-equipped laboratory was made for the Home Economics Department. It has been divided into a four-room apartment which has been furnished as a model home. The assembly hall is very attractive. It is freshly painted, pleasantly lighted, and has a large stage. Above the front entrance is a small balcony. At our first assembly, Mr. Goodrich told the members of the school the trustees of Bacon Academy had very fittingly named the new building “Day Hall.” The Senior Class, in behalf of the student body, wishes to take this opportunity now to thank Mr. Day.

COHEN “Red” “I’m here, the party can begin.” French Club—Dramatic Club—Home Econ- omics Club—Year Book Staff—Senior Social Committee — Basketball — Baconian Board— Senior Play. Here we see the heart and center of the social life of Baconia. Vivian has exceptional dancing ability and this, plus her sunny dispo- sition, has won her more friends than she can count. Vivie has also taken an active part in the planning of our social functions. The old proverb, “Beautiful but Dumb” can never be applied in Vivian’s case for she stands among the three highest in the class and is a serious competitor for senior honors. We wish you the best of luck Viv. DOROTHEA H. GERSTEN “Bay” “Dot” “Words, Words, Words !” Class Secretary—Senior Social Committee— Cheer Leader—French Club—Dramatic Club— Home Economics Club—Baconian Board—Bas- ketball Manager—Year Book Staff—Senior Prom Committee. This young lady is inclined toward athletics and her prowess in basketball is known throughout the town. However, she does not neglect her studies for this, because she is one of the best students in her class. “Dot” has always been a great help when planning school lunctions. Her ambition is to become a school teacher, and we are sure she will work ear- nestly and well. PEARL GILMAN “Pearly” “My Bonnie lies over the ocean—Middletown” Home Economics Club—Basketball Pearl is one girl in our school who has con- sistently refused to exchange her long tresses for the more modern bob. Old fashioned, say you? Not if we know it. Pearl is right up to the minute and a mighty popular girl at Bacon Academy. Pearl is not one of those who seem to know everything at a single glance, but by hard work, she has maintained a good average in her studies. Continue to be as persevering after graduation Pearl. BACON________ACADEMY Eight THE BACONIAN FRANCES E. HATT “Frenchy” “Talk not of wasted affection; affection never was wasted.’ Dramatic Club—Home Economics Club This brown-eyed little lady is one of the most popular students at Baconia. Always cheerful, Frenchy” has done all in her power to help things run smoothly at school. In spite of this, her school work is not neglected. Her marks in Science have been among the highest. She will surely do well with anything that she undertakes. PETER HOMINICK “Pete” “Pedro” “He knows what he wants and gets it.” Class Vice President—French Club—Baseball —Fire Squad—Year Book Staff—Dramatic Club—Senior Play. Permit us to introduce you to the shiek of our class. In matters concerning the opposite sex, this young man cannot be competed with. He is popular with the fellows too! His ath- letic inclinations have brought him out for Baseball. In his studies, he stands among the head of his class. We are very glad to have had this quick-witted and pleasing person in our class. DAVID HORWITZ “Duddy” “Capt'n Muglitz” “Why take life seriously; you’ll never get out of it alive.” Baseball Manager—Captain of the Basketball Team—Science Club—French Club—Dramatic Club—Fire Squad—Year Book Staff—Senior Prom Committee—Senior Play. From our Freshman year we have liked and admired this boisterous, good-natured chap. His wit and “wise-cracks” have enlivened many a dull class period. He is ever ready to debate, on almost any subject, with anyone. We are all proud of the record “Duddy” has left in athletics, bringing the victory home on many occasions and also being the hjghest scorer in basketball for the year. Truly a fine, all-around man ! A C Nine BACON A D E M Y THE BACONIAN OSCAR ARTHUR HORWITZ “Arty Some are, and must be. greater than the rest President of the Student Council—President of the Class—Editor-in-Chief of the Year Book— Fire Squad—Basketball Team—Baseball Squad —Chairman of Senior Social Committee— Dramatic Club—Baconian Board—Senior Prom Committee—Senior Play. Every once in a while there comes to Baconia a man who by sheer genius, attracts and holds general attention. Such a one is our class president. Three times we have chosen him to steer us safely past the reefs which threaten every class and our confidence lias been justified. His abilities were recognized by others also, for Arty has been identified with every school affair of importance includ- ing athletics. rl he Baconian Board has request- ed his service as art editor for three years. We don’t know what he intends to do after June but we’ll wager he will be found at the head of General Motors or some other large con- cern in future years. S. ALLEN HOROWITZ “Paddy Oh! Woman, where is Thy charm? French Club—Baconian Board—Fire Squad- Dramatic Club—Year Book Staff—Baseball Squad. We do not find very many ambitious young fellows in this day and age, but here is one. “Paddy has traveled from Marlboro to Col- chester every school day for four years in order to attend Baconia and to gain an educa- tion. Whenever Allen starts to work on any- thing. we know that it will be done and done well, too. The strange part of it is that he usually tries to tell us that someone else did the heavy share of work and not he. We do not know what the Baconian Board could have done without him. Allen is a great mathemati- cian. When he goes out into the world, there is no telling what this lad may do, but we learn lie aspires to a career in aviation. SAMUEL JAFFE “Cru “Sammie “The world knows nothing of its greatest men. Manager Track Team—Fire Squad—Year Book Staff—Dramatic Club—French Club—Senior Social Committee—Basketball Team—Baseball —Student Council—Orchestra—Senior Prom Committee—Senior Play. We have quite a number of jolly fun-loving boys in our class and “Sammie is one of them. “Cru has gone out for all the athletics offered at Bacon Academy and he has been successful, too. He and two other “Sammies always pal around together. Perhaps later on they’ll form a business which they will name “The Three Sams.” ACADEMY Ten BACON THE BACONIAN GLADYS KALMANOWITZ “Babs” “Gittle” “Laugh and the world laughs with you.’ Home Economics Club—Dramatic Club—Stu- dent Council—Baconian Board—Year Book Staff—Senior Prom Committee. Who does not remember this young lady as class treasurer in our Freshman year. Mr. Atwood told us that our dues would have to be paid up, and believe us, “Glad” certainly followed Mr. Atwood’s instructions. This year she represents the Senior Girls on the Student Council. Her record in scholastic work is an enviable one and when she goes out into this world we feel sure everyone will like and trust her as well as do the student body of Baconia. EDNA KASHKIN “Eddy” “Quiet, but still there.” Baconian Board—Basketball—Year Book Staff —Dramatic Club—Home Economics Club— Senior Play. Edna is the quiet type of girl who takes delight in keeping her word. When “Eddy” says she’ll do something she’ll do it. In conse- quence, we have come to depend upon her more and more and no small amount of credit is due her for share in preparing this year book. Other organizations have clamored for her help also. “Eddy” is an active member of the Ba- conian Board and has taken part in more plays than anyone else in school. Can she act? And how. In her studies she has easily main- tained a very high average.We learn that she is a very good cook. too. Edna has a charming disposition, a ready smile for all, and many friends. We all are happier because we have known her. Good luck to you, Edna. FREDERICK J. KOPP “Tarzan” --- Came Hermes, winged messenger of the Gods.” French Club—Orchestra—Basketball Team— Captain of the Track Team—Captain of Fire Squad—Baseball Squad. The class of 1930 is richly supplied with athletic young men. Here is one who has done much on the basketball, baseball and track teams. His studies have not suffered because of his sports activities, however. “Tarzan is a good dancer and popular with the fair sex. Next to Mr. Goodrich, he has been the main- stay of the school orchestra. We are all proud of the record “Freddy” has left at Baconia! BACON ACADEMY Eleven THE BACONIAN SARA G. LIEBERMAN “Sally” “Perserverance leads on to victory.” French Club—Home Economics Club—Dram- atic Club—Year Book Staff We pause here to pay tribute to a girl who is sincerely liked and admired by everyone in the class. Since her entrance in the fall of ’26. she has been a sturdy booster of the class of ’30. Her cheerful willingness to cooperate has had much to do with the success of our many activities. “Sally” is one of the few seniors who seem to remember every assignment and she is con- tinually bothered by someone wanting to know “the English or History for tomorrow.” We sometimes wonder how she can keep her temper, for we have never seen her lose her composure during her extremely successful career at Baconia. BERTHA LEVINE “Birdie” “Bert” “Serene is she who never makes a sound.” Home Economics Club “Birdie” drew general attention to herself by her unusual quality of being able to keep silent. Even as a Freshman—and Freshmen are supposed to be noisy—she was always quiet and dignified. She has maintained this reserve throughout her four years at Bacon Academy, with the result that few of us know her very intimately. “Bert” manages, however, to put in a sentence or a word just when it is needed. She has been a loyal supporter of our class. Continue to say the right thing at the light time, “Birdie,” and the world will be yours. PAULINE RUTH LUBIN “Paul” “Silence never betrayed anyone.” Home Economics Club Very few of us know “Paul” for like “Bir- die” she rarely speaks in class. But when she does recite, we give her our undivided atten- t on. for we know we are to hear what is what, and why. Pauline is rather a serious, dignified girl and we rarely see her wasting her time in idle gossip. She is very charming, though, and makes a very attractive participant in any social function. When she leaves Baconia, she carries with her our heartiest wishes for hap- piness. ACADEMY BACON Twelve THE BACONIAN SAMUEL OSCAR MAIOFES “Mozart” “Oh Love, has she clone this to me, what shall alas, become of me.” Dramatic Club—Fire Squad—Orchestra—Sen- ior Play. In our Junior year this young gentleman got the job of treasurer of the class. And he cer- tainly made the students payup their back dues! “Mozart” is a jolly soul, always joking. He seems to have knowledge of almost every subject and lets everybody know about it, too. In our future life, I’m sure we will always remember Sam. RUTH MINTZ “Ruchel” “Great oaks from little acorns grows.” Class Treasurer—Basketball—Dramatic Club— Home Economics Club—French Club—Bacon- ian Board—Senior Social Committee—Year Book Staff—Senior Prom Committee—Senior Play. September, 1926, brought a tall stately girl to Baconia. and thereby furnished another rea- son for making our class illustrious. We have chosen Ruth our secretary for the past three years and this year she is class treasurer. “Ruchel” is also a member of the Baconian Board and has much to do with its success. Her culinary work has at some time or another been sampled by all of us. and we have begged for a second helping. May her luck in life be as great as her work at Baconia! MARY JOSEPHINE STERN “Rod “The multitude is always in the wrong.” Home Economics Club When “Red” entered Baconia, she immed- iately started making friends. She may have the temper that is generally acknowledged to go with that color of hair, but if so, she has continually held it in check. Mary is a very good-natured girl. Her very laugh is often heard ringing through the walls of Baconia. Her ready smile has endeared her to us all. We are sure her list of friends will increase as she goes up the road of life. B A C O N - A C Thirteen A D E M Y THE BACONIAN BETTY SOLOMON “B” “Seldom seen, seldom heard.” Home Economics Club It is with a good deal of misgiving that wo attempt to write Betty’s history at Baconia for no one ever spoke truer words than the chap who said “silence is golden.” B” is by nature, serious, not melancholy but contem- plative, though when she chooses to, she can smile most charmingly. We doubt that she is interested in anyone of the opposite sex, but as fair a girl as Betty cannot elude Cupid very long. SAM S. STRICK ‘Spike” “Schully’ “Want a ride?’ Dramatic Club—French Club — Basketball Squad—Baseball—Fire Squad. This good-looking young chap has made many a girls heart go flip-flop! Schully” is so modest that he doesn’t, I believe, know about this. Nevertheless, it is true. Whenever you want to find him, it is necessary to look behind a book. “Spike” is always reading ‘literature.’ Riding around in his nice, red truck, he seems to be the answer to a maidens prayer! THERESA MARGUERITE TYNDA “Tessie” “Study is like Heaven’s glorious Sun.” French Club-Dramatic Club—Home Econ- omics Club—Editor-in-Chief of the Baconian. It is not often that a graduating class can lay claim to as clever a pupil as “Tessie.” Marking period after marking period, she has constantly made the honor roll without appar- ent effort. She shines especially in math class, where she calmly solves problems which cause the rest of us to tear our hair and utter hard words about all school work in general. “Tessie” attends our dancing classes regularly and is a very popular girl at Bacon Academy. With such versatile accomplishments, we won- der just which vocation “Tessie” will select to iollow in her future life. ACADEMY BACON Fourteen THE BACONIAN CLASS HISTORY Four years ago. fifty-one Freshmen proudly entered Bacon Academy. Not all of them however, were from Colchester. Salem had sent Frances and James Hatt and Charles Dembfnsky; Marlborough, Sam Horwitz, Lucius Lord and Jesse Weir; West- chester, Junior Shailor. and Bozrah, Sam Berkman and Herbert Pierson. The first time the members of this large group met, they elected their class officers without much difficulty. Oscar Horwitz was chosen President, Ruth Mintz, Secretary, I). Horwitz, Vice-President, and Gladys Kalmanowltz, Treasurer. Through the careful instruction of Mr. Atwood, Principal, Miss Condren, our English and Latin teacher, Mr. Goodrich. Science and Mathematics, Miss Hesse, French and History, and Miss Tiffany, Domestic Science instructor, we managed to end our first year successfully. We learned, too. that Freshmen were not the most important mem- bers of the high school and that to progress, we had to study. Mr. Atwood encouraged us and when representatives for sports were called for. many of our group responded. The following September when we returned to school we were anxious to meet the new principal. Mr. Kendal, and the other new teacher. Miss Pullen: but we were glad to have Miss Condren, Mr. Goodrich, and Miss Tiffany with us again. As Sophomores we felt quite sophisticated and superior to the entering Freshmen. We helped them a little, however, by showing them to their various classrooms. When we held our first meeting, we could hardly recognize our class, for it had grown so small. Many of the members had left school entirely, or else had transferred to other institu- tions. Our Bozrah representatives had gone to Norwich Free Academy. Jesse Wier and Lucius Lord from Marlboro, and James Hatt and Charles Demhinsky of Salem had dropped out. We were now a group of twenty-seven instead of fifty-one. At this meet- ing, O. Horwitz was again elected president. The Vice-President wras Vivian M. Cohen, Secretary and Treasurer were Ruth Mintz and Gladys Kalmanowltz. respectively. Now we were determined to work as one group. As we soon realized that our class treasury consisted of an unmentionable amount, we decided to give our first social, and we must admit that the affair was a success both financially and socially. Although we encoun- tered more difficult studies, such as Caesar and Algebra, the second year of our school career progressed smoothly. Most of our twenty-seven returned for our Junior year. We were upperclassmen now and were quite proud of ourselves. There was a new teacher. Miss Donovan, who taught History. French, and Latin. Miss Pullen had left, but Mr. Kendall, Principal, Mr. Good- rich. Miss Condren and Miss Tiffany had remained. The class officers chosen were: Gam Jaffe, President, Peter Ilominick, Vice-President, Ruth Mintz, Secretary, Sam Maiotes, Treasurer. The Farewell Social was the most important event of our Junior year, an invitation dance. Then in September 1929, we returned for our fourth and last year in high school. Final examinations had brought a few fatalities, and we had lost a few members of ur class. At the first meeting. O. Horwitz was elected President, Peter Hominick, Vice- President, Ruth Mintz, Treasurer, and Dorothea Gersten, Secretary. ACADEMY BACON Fifteen THE BACONIAN THE YEAR'S REVIEW Determined to make this year the best of all. the Senior class settled right down to work. For the purpose of getting acquainted, the customary Welcome Social was conducted by the Seniors in the new Park Hall. Following this came the most import- ant event of the year—the completion and opening of Day Hall, given to Bacon Academy by Mr. Edward Day. The first assembly held in Day Hall was conducted by Principal Goodrich. The Senior Class was given the first opportunity of presenting a short play in the new hall. The play was entitled. “Classmates, or a Brother at Large.” The characters were:—Oscar Horwitz, Gladys Kalmanowitz. “Sam” Strick, Frances Hatt, “Sam” Jaffe, “Sam” Maiofes. Vivian Cohen, Peter Hominick and “Sam” Horwitz. Then the fire squad was organized; Fred Kopp is the captain, and Hyman Schwartz is the Junior chosen on the squad who will automatically become captain in his Senior year. The members of the Fire Squad are “Sam” Horwitz, Peter Hominick. O. Horwitz. J. Shailor, John Chemyrin- sky, D. Horwitz, “Sam” Jaffe, “Sam” Strick “Sam” Maiofes. An assembly to be held every Friday was decided upon and all the clubs were re- organized with the exception of the Glee Club. Each organization is held responsible for a weekly assembly program. Miss Tiffany’s group of Home Economics girls gave the first entertainment. Then Miss Donovan’s French Club presented a play entitled, “The Cure-All;” later this same club presented a dramatization of “Colomba.” Miss Condren’s English I classes dramatized scenes from Ivanhoe” and Treasure Island.” Mr. Howells group of Science Club members gave an entertainment; also the orchestra once more organized in the form of a jazz band, under Mr. Goodrich, played many selec- tions. The idea of having each club in class present a program has worked out well, and almost every pupil in school has taken part in at least one assembly in Day Hall. A dancing class held every Thursday afternoon was started. Many students who knew nothing about dancing were instructed by Mr. Goodrich and were successful in learning how to dance. Also, pupils who know how to dance helped the beginners. Boys’ and girls’ basketball teams were organized by Coach-Principal Goodrich and Miss Donovan. Games were played with several out-of-town teams with a very successful season. “Sam” Berman was chosen assistant manager on the resignation of John Zenowitz, and “Joe” Busel is manager. The girls were not very successful, but improved during the season. Anna Surwlll was captain and Dorothea Gersten, manager. Work on the baseball diamond was started early; many candidates were out to make the team, among whom were many Freshmen. Mr. Howell is coach. David Horwitz, manager, and Michael Busel, assistant manager. On Thursday, April 1, Don Fraser from Salem gave a chalk talk which was both interesting and humorous. Then on May 9. an athletic tournament was held. To this the eighth grade pupils were invited. A pupil from each class was chosen to represent each group.

Gitlin, A. Tynda. Back row—D. Levine, J. Prokop, M. Busel. H. Snell, A. Zenowltz, J. Basel THE STUDENT COUNCIL To most of the dudIIs entering Bacon Academy the term Student Council is en- tirely new. The Student Council is. briefly, that body which determines the conduct and priviliges of the students Last year this body was composed of the presidents and other members of the various classes. This method was tried this year, but at the first meeting it was dis- covered that no girls were on this council. It was decided that the girls were not prop- erly represented: as a result a girl was elected from each class. At present the Student Council is composed of twelve members. The working of the council resembles our national government. A question is thoroughly discussed and then some rule is passed. This rule is handed to Mr. Good- rich for his approval or veto. If vetoed, the bill is changed. At first this system ap- peared strange to some, but from the way it has worked out it must be said that it is advantageous, from all viewpoints. The students are fairly represented as they them- selves choose the members for the council. In addition, dates for Dancing Classes, seating plans in Day Hall, and entertain- ments given for the benefit of the school were settled here. So far, the Student Council has proved highly successful, and with the cooperation of the Student Body it will become stronger and more effective in the future. BACON ACADEMY Nineteen THE BACONIAN BACON_____ACADEMY Twenty THE BACONIAN CLUB NOTES SCIENCE CLUB The first meeting of the Science Club was held on September 16, 1929, with Mr. C. V. Howell, as adviser. As the membership was too large. Mr. Howell asked those who had not taken up General Science to withdraw. The group remaining numbered twenty-three. The officers who were elected at this meeting are as follows: John Gregory, Pres- ident: John Popek, Vice-President; and Fannie Wasnewski as Secretary. After the election of officers, Mr. Howell suggested that the members be divided into committees to take charge of programs and that each committee have one chairman and two mem- bers. At each meeting the various committees demonstrated interesting scientific exper- iments in the laboratory. Many instructive reports and talks on subjects dealing with science in everyday life were given. The first play of the club presented before the assemlly was entiled “The Flivver Family.” Those taking part in this were D. Riley, M. Turetsky, J. Bass, I. Miller and H. Falk. Later in the year the club was again asked to present a scientific play for the usual Friday afternoon assembly. This play was based on sketches from “The Life of Louis Pasteur.” The characters were A. Surwell, D. Raymond, W. Sullivan, J. Kor- man. J. Kurzel, D. Adler, M. Turetsky, L. Brown, and F. Wasniski. An excursion to the Williams Soap Factory at Glastonbury was planned but on account of cold weather it was postponed. FRENCH CLUB This year the French Club was reorganized by Miss Donovan. At the first meeting the officers chosen were Hyman Schwartz, President, and Secretary and Treasurer, Dorothea Gersten. It seems strange for such a small club to have a treasury but it really has. The way money is collected is very interesting. During each meeting a certain time is devoted to speaking French. Those saying any words in English are taxed one cent a word. The amount in the treasury is surprising. In preparing for their part of weekly entertaining in assembly, the members of the French Club have done very well. Two humorous plays were presented before the student body. Those taking part in the first, “The Cure-All” were Peter Hor.iinick, Doro- thea Gersten, Ruth Mintz, Joe Busel, Sam Berman and Anna Sigal. The other play was a dramatization of the French book “Colomba.” The play was written by various mem- bers of the French Club and the characters were:—John Gregory. Sam Berman, Vivian Cohen, Dorothea Gersten. Ruth Mintz, Joe Busel, Peter Hominiek. ACADEMY BACON Twenty one THE BACONIAN DRAMATIC CLUB The organization having the most members is the Dramatic Club. It is sponsored by Principal Goodrich. The President is Emanuel Greenblatt; Vice-President, Tessie Tynda; Secretary, Dorothea Gersten. For every meeting, a program has been arranged, in which the members read and discuss poems, plays, and dramatic work in general. During a recent assembly the “Lost Silk Hat’ was presented. The characters were: S. Horwitz, M. Chmiel, J. Tompkins, E. Greenblatt and I. Miller. This play was excellently produced. As a result “lie” is being rehearsed. The leading roles will be played by Vivian Cohen and Joseph Kursel. The work on these plays not only is a source of interest and enjoyment to the student body, but also gives the club members themselves very valuable experience. This year the Home Economics Club was continued under the leadership of Miss Tiffany. Officers were chesen at the first meeting. They are: Ruth Mintz. President; Dorothea Raymond, Vice-President; Gladys Kalmanowitz, Secretary; Edna Kashkin. chairman of assembly committee; Frances Hatt, entertainment committee. Girls of the club volunteered to help at a banquet given in Day Hall on April 24th. The proceeds will help to send representatives to the convention at Storrs on May 17th. The orchestra under the direction of Mr. Goodrich was organized in the fall. It has been playing at all school functions and for most of the dances after basketball games. Later irt the fall the orchestra sponsored the dancing class. At present it is practicing for graduation exercises. At the beginning of the year, a boys’ home economics class was organized by Miss Tiffany for the purpose of teaching the boys something of the duties of housekeep- ing. The class bought three white rats, and performed many successful experiments with them. The first half of the year closed with a very good chicken dinner, prepared by the bovs and also eaten by them. Because of lack of time, the class did not continue the last half of the year. It was a very successful venture, and the boys look forward to next year’s class. HOME ECONOMICS CLUB ORCHESTRA BOYS’ HOME ECONOMIC CLASS BACON ACADEMY Twenty-two THE BACONIAN BACON ACADEMY T wenty-three THE BACONIAN JUNIORS Among the members lost to the Junior Class since last year in John Fedus, who, we regret to say, has been obliged to leave school because of serious illness. He has been greatly missed in athletics and other class activities. During the first class meeting the following officers were elected: President, Jos- eph Busel; Vice-President, Gertrude Seger; Treasurer, Hyman Falk; Secretary, Anna Sigal. Due to the resignation of Anna Sigal, Beatrice Gitlen was elected to fill the vacancy. David Levine is the representative to the Student Council, and Hyman Schwartz the member of the Fire Squad, who will, next year, be the Fire Chief. Many of the Juniors have taken active parts in athletics, David Levine being one of the star basketball players. Joseph Busel is the basketball manager and John Greg- ory, Hyman Falk, and John Zenowitz are members of the track and baseball teams. Sam Berman, the assistant, will become basketball manager next year. During the early part of October, the Juniors gave their first social, the customary welcome to Freshmen and newcomers. At present they are making plans for the Farewell Social to be given during the latter part of May, or in early June. ACADEMY BACON Twentj-four THE BACONIAN SOPHOMORES The Sophomore class reentered Bacon Academy with twenty-eight out of forty- nine members who were enrolled last year: at present, however, there are only twenty- six. At the first class meeting Joseph Prokpchuck was elected president, Annie Ewafove, vice-president, and Anna Hominick, treasurer. Anna Tynda and Michael Busel we. e elected to serve with the c’.ass president on the student council. The class also decided at the first meeting to pay two dollars each, during the year, as no dues had been levied the previous year. The Sophomore Class is well represented in the various school activities. In ath- letics, M. Busel. J. Kurzel, I. Miller, J. Prokopchick and E. Stebbins have done a great deal to help the various teams. ACADEMY Twenty-five BACON THE BACONIAN FRESHMEN The Freshmen entered Bacon Academy with an enrollment of forty-four. At their first class meeting the following officers were elected: Alex Zenowitz, President; Lillian Hankin, Vice-President; Minnie Jaffe, Secretary, and George Raymond, Treasurer. The Freshman students joined many of the clubs and contributed to the various activities. This Spring they have organized a baseball team which has played the eighth grade team twice, and expects to meet some outside teams. Gladys Graul and Harold Snell are the freshmen representatives to the Student Council. THE BACONIAN BOARD When activities of other organizations did not demand their service, the members of the school Baconian Board held their first meeting. Tessie Tynda, ’30, was elected editor-in-chief, and G. Kalman also ’30, assistant editor-in-chief. So far the Board had issued two “Baconians,” and hopes to publish two more. The purpose of the publication of this paper is to give the members of the student body an opportunity to express them- selves in print. The members of the Board for 1930 wish to express their gratitude to Miss Con- dren, faculty adviser, for her invaluable aid and to those students who have assisted by contributing stories and jokes.

IWkIBIAI 1 At the first call for basketball candidates, the chances seemed rather small for a successful season, but under the direction of Principal Goodrich, our basketball coach, a good team was organized.

Ilankin GIRLS' BASKETBALL This year, the girls with Miss Donovan as coach, encouraged by their success in the past, made up a schedule consisting of out of town games. The team opened the January season by playing the Woodstock Academy girls at Woodstock. Since this was their first game on a strange floor, they were at a disadvan- tage. The final score vas 47-9, in favor of Woodstock. On January 23, the team traveled to Norwich to play the Y. W. C. A. sextette. The Norwich girls proved too strong for the girls’ team and they won with the score of 33-21. The Woodstock Academy girls came to Colchester for a return game. They won by a score of 28-10. On February 18, 1930, the Norwich Y. W. C. A. team came to Colchester. The Academy girls took the lead early in the game and held it until the third quarter when the opponents rallied and came out on top. The final score was 21-16. Although the girls have had rather an unsuccessful season, the prospects for next year are not discouraging. The team loses only one member by graduation, and ihany of the remaining played basketball for the first time this year. Anna Surwill is captain of the team, and Dorothea Gersten, manager.

BASEBALL Our baseball prospects were rather poor at the beginning of the season, since several members of the battery and outfield had been graduated. However, with the careful coaching of Mr. Howell, a fair team was organized. We opened the season on April 23rd with a game against Clinton High at Clinton. Due to the hard hitting of the Clinton nine, our team lost by the score of 18-0. Our second game, Clinton at Colchester, was won by the visitors by the close score of 4-2. The team was in better shape: but was handicapped by the loss of several regu- lars, nevertheless played very well. The game was featured by the brilliant pitching of Prokop, who struck out 14 men. These are the only games that have been played as this paper goes to press. The schedule is as follows: — May 9th. Lebanon at Colchester. May 20th Durham High School at Colchester.
