THE BACONIAN Girls’ Basketball Team This year girls’ basketball took a far more active part in athletics at Bacon Academy than ever before. The teams with which we played home—eight home games— were: Nathan Hale High School of Moodus, Norwich Y. W. C. A., Williams Memorial Institute of New London, and Glastonbury High School. Although every game did not mean a victory, each and every merrfber of the team “played to the end” always. Leading her team-mates onward was Fanny Wasnieski, who proved her ability as center as well as captain. Her loyal supporters were Doris Riley, Anna Ewafove, Mary O’Ccnnor, Florence Minsk, Mamie Gyome, Bertha Fedus. Gertrude Seger, our capable manager, deserves much credit for her work and cooperation. Miss Donovan and Miss O’Brien were our coaches this year and inspired us with their enthusiasm and eagerness. BACON ACADEMY Twenty-five

THE BACONIAN Cross Country Tract Team CROSS-COUNTRY Cross-Country has always been one of the most successful sports in the history of the school. This year’s team lived up to its reputation with four victories and one- defeat. Through the splendid work of the boys, especially Krupnic, Zenowitz, and Gregory, we defeated Lyman twice, Bulkley once, Norwich once and also lost once to Norwich. Capt. Zenowitz, and Krupnic, Gregory, Falk, Goldberg and Manager Busel re:eived letters at the close of the season. SPRING TRACK For the first time in the history of the school we held a dual meet with Pratt. In preparation for this meet the members participated in the inter-class compe- tition. The Seniors came out on top by a large margin. We defeated Pratt by the score of 49-23. Zenowitz and Miller featured for Bacon. A relay is being planned with Glastonbury. We. are hopeful of winning this race. Zenowitz and Levine will close a four-year athletic program in June. Gregory and Wallack are also athletes who will graduate this year. Due to graduation Popek, Fa!k, Wallack, J. Busci, Gregory, Levine and Zenowitz will be missing from various teams next year. BACON ACADEMY Twenty-four

THE BACONIAN SMILES Mr. Howell—Make a sentence with the word ethics. Student—Every morning I ride to school in an ethics (Essex). Miss Cole after school (calling roll)— “Zenowitz.” Zenowitz—“I’m here in body only. My heart is outside.” Miss Cole—What is a pedagogue? G. Wasniewski—It’s a freak. Anna- -Poets are born, not made. George—It’s a mean thing to blame it on their parents. Miss Tiffany—My! but your hands are clean, Elsie. Elsie—Yes, but you should have seen them before I helped Lillie make bis- cuits. Miss O’Brien—What were the Euro- pean countries most interested in after the war? George—Making peace and burying, its dead soldiers. The baseball team says that there is no base like home. Miss O’Brien—What does this mearnr “King Alfonso was abdicated”? Levine—“He ain’t gonna reign no mo.” Singer—I am a born musician. A. Falk—How do you get that? Singer—My eyes are sharp and m r feet are flat. It’s all right for a girl to know her onions but not to eat them. It’s the little things that bother us; you can sit on a mountain—but not a tack. Anna—A penny for your thoughts. Gert—What do you think—I’m a slot machine? Schwartz—If “I am Happy when you’re Happy” is a fox-trot, and “When it's Springtime in the Rockies” is a waltz, what’s bred in Kentucky? Zenowitz—Ten cents a loaf. J. Ramras—Today, Miss O’Brien: asked a question and I was the only one who could answer it. Bochain—Oh yeah ? What was the question ? J. Ramras—“Who threw that piece of chalk at me?” BACON ACADEMY Twenty-six
