I G- lIl3ofliPtfltit,ieitGir 1Q 3 tinnonietn ., IZ, s. PEARL STONE Pearl is the young maiden with the 'big brown eyes who seems shy but conlirms the principle Don't judge a book by its cover. Those 'who are well acquainted with Perley know that she is brimming over with energy and enthusiasm. FRANCIS SZOSTAKOWSKI He has risen Romeo. When Three guesses Francis is a ladies' man who eats, talks, and dreams of girls. from the ranks of 'the bashful and now plays the haippy-go-lucky the teacher asks him .a question, he starts as if from a dream. whlat he's thinking -of! JOHN SZYNAL aimong which like John, we Bartlett's best John is a very quiet boy, 'but nevertheless he has his hobbies, are Ybaseball and track. If our school develops more trackmen shall soon be receiving tournament invitations. John is one of students, hits name ihaving been consistently on the honor roll. LUCILLE TOURT'ELLiOT'TE Lucille is a chuibby, quiet miss whose presence can be discerned only by an occasional giggle, Lwucille is of a domestic type, and we know that she is bound to secure pleasant ties in the future because of her sweet personality. GLAD YS WATERHOUSE Gladys' middle name begins with but no one has ever been able to find out what it is. However, we guess that it is B'usy, for she is the busiest girl in the class of '33. Gladys has shown her ability as a leader throughout her four years at B. H. S., and so the role she played in Pollyanna, wit-h which she delighted the entire audience, was no exception. EDWARD WATERS B'ud its an expert rtyipist and can rattle off a test in rec-ord time. Ed is interested in sports, especially basketball. With Standrowicz, Pepka, and Romanek, Bud can alfvways be found, generally engaged in a 'heated argument about baseball or boxing. VVILLIAM WAWRZYNIAK Billy is the quietest fellow in school. He is an interesting chap who is always reading. Bill intends to become an author and write books of his own. He is editor-in-chief of the Bartlett Boomer. NAOMIA WIL-LIS Naomia is, as a rule, one of the quieter seniors, but when it co-mes to dramatics she is right up on her toes. After graduation our petite brunette hopes to continue her Thespian studies. A member of the Dudley Grange, she is one of its loyal supporters. PETER WISNIEWSKI If your financial statements are like a jig saw puzzle to you, call Pete, who with his exact bookkeeping will soon straighten things out. To become a C. P. A. ic-ow punching artistl is his grea-t ambition. Well, good luck to you, Pete! EUGENIE ZAJAC Along with her twin sister, Naomia, Genie is an ar-dent member of the Dudley Grange. She adheres rigidly to the eighteen day diet, and rumor hints that she can often be seen weighing herself in the gym, hoping to overcome Old Avoirdupois. JENNIE ZALLA Jennie will always be remembered as the inimitable an-d popular cheerleader whose individuality and magnetic leadership made her the favorite of B. H. S. Nor does she confine her activities to cheerleaclingg for Jennie is very mu-ch interested in dramatics and' has taken part in several plays in addition to en- tertaining with vocal selections. Po-pular with all Bartlett students, she is not without her friends among the opposite sex. MARION ZENTG1RiAF STE Whenever an uncontrollable giggle is heard, all eyes turn toward Manney, one of the jolliest members of our class. lVlanney's wavy hair and constant, even disposition are well known by all her classmates and are the envy of all underclassmen. We hope that she will continue to smile her way through life, sulccessful in all things she attempts. PHEN ZIAK Zak is the midget of our class, who is always into mischief. Steve 'holds the record for being tardy in study hall the greatest num-ber of times during the year. He is a tyipist of rare ability.

3 ilbffhllligllfitoitbcllfgif 19 3 iiBlIHIIlR4DllNlHlW3jlL,jl15g WW Lucille is a girl that you will never find wearing a solemn expression. She loves to laugh, and does so Whenever a suitable ofpportunity presenlts itself. She can ibe both gay and sympathetic. Her dancing and sparkling eyes have 'won the heart of a certain Junior iboy. THEODORE RACICOT Behold the class Romeo! Pete is the happy-go-lucky soldier lad who loves ,em and leaves 'em. In spite of his militarism he is also the great lover, as was proven in his dramatic pursuits. Pete intends to become an oflicer in the United States Army, and the best wishes of the opposite sex 'certainly go with him. EMILY ROBERTS Emily is a quiet yet refreshing young lady, who is indeed a great sfcholar. She is loved by all who know her, and we are sure that with her fine scholastic abilities and pleasing manners she will succeed in all undertakings. WILLIAM RO'MANE'K B-il-l is a rather serious young man sometimes. We may conclude from his conversations with Cuba and Poppy in the study hall that he has a love of argument which, together with his deep voice, would make cf him a great lawyer or powerful orator. His motto is Free Country, Free Speech. Bill is a good baseball player, and it seems that he, and only he, can tell you all the fine ipoints of the game together with the names oft' those whose fame on the diamond is world-wide. 1xATHL'EEN RYAN Here is our litte girl with tfhat golden voice which has enchanted us at so many functions! Kathleen has made many friends in high school, and with her social talents we are sure that she will continue to make many intimate contacts. THOMAS SCANLNON Tom is a fellow with a happy-go-lucky air about him. Outside of school To-m is always full of fun, but in school he can seldom be seen 'without a serious look on his face. Tom intends to become an undertaker and help his ifather. FRANCIS SCZEPANSKI Skippy has many accomlplishments. He is an artist of extraordinary talent, a beautiful dancer, and a saxaphone player of distinction. As president of our class, he has shown himself a leader of perseverance, courtesy, and tact. Much of the success of the Blue and White is due to his untiring efforts. For proof of his talent, see the Chronicle-need we say more? ADA SEDESR A deep, s-onorous voice, and .a sparkling wit. These are the two qualities for which we will always remember Ada. She is ia leader in all things, as well as a hard worker in whatever she undertakes. MILTON SHAW Some peo1ple's modesty is exposed by frequent blushing, but 'we are at a loss to determine whether Milton is really a modest man, or whether the color is the sympathetic reflection of a certain little head that apparently commands his affection. Nevertheless his self-coniciousness may well give way to pride, for he is quite an actor, as we alll saw in the Senior play. HELMIE SIPPOLA In her younger days, Helmie 'was quite an artist, b-urt lately she has turned her interests to basketball. Wnhen playing on the varsity team she keeps 'her opponents on the go all the time. Helmie, who hails from C-ape Cod and Minnesoft-a, hlas a happy disfposition, a joy to us all. FRANCIS S'TANDROW'1C-Z Cuba is a shy fellow, but none the less consnpicuous for his unusual courtesy. He loves baseball and is an excellent shortstop on the varsity team. It is in- teresting to know that he can deliver a three minute speech in one exhalationg an unusual achievement which, we believe, no one in B. H. S. can equal. We are wonderling if a member of the fair sex was the first to nickname him Cu.ba . RICHARD STAVVIECKI The Rudy Vallee of the class, who incidentally does NOT play the saxo- phone but has all the .features of the famous jazz arti-st. It seems that all the boys are aflter him, trying to .learn the secret which enables him to keep the waves in this hair just so. In case you want to hear a mellow crooning voice, by all means hear Richard over 'the telephone. In all sincerity, Richard is a good fellow, very active in class and school affairs.

G- llbf-snaritnamlr 1e 3 flirrnonreitie 7, s. The History of the Class of 1933 Einstein's theory may seem amazing, but the ingenuity of the four score fresh- men who entered Bartlett High School in 1929 is one of the marvels of the twentieth century. We were the first freshman class to greet. the smiling new principal, Mr. Cyril C. Smith. It is no wonder that our beaming faces spurred him on to many important changes within the school. As usual the first day was spent in torture and agony. We could not find our home rooms or understand our schedules. We were puzzled, but soon became ac- customed to the daily routine, -participating in the new marshalling system instituted by Mr. Smith. Without waste of time we settled down to business. On Mar-ch 4, 1930 with Mr. Smith presi-ding, we held our first class meeting to elect officers. The successful candidates were president, Theodore Racicotg vice-president, Laval Leboeufg secre- tary, Gladys Waterhouse: treasurer, Beatrice Racicot. Due to our unusual promptness, we had two parties during the year. One was held in the afternoon, and the other in the evening. We will not discuss our dancing ability. The less said, the better. Would-be actors and actresses had an opportunity to show their talent when one English division, under the direction of Miss Oakes, presented a dramatization of Ivanhoe , Much to our regret we could not see the ending, for the period was too short. The good old summer approached, and our Freshman year was over. Each and every one hoped to return in the fall. Back we came as shining sophomores with more courage, energy, and ambition. A new method of naming class officers, similar to that employed in the election of town officials, was instituted. Frances Sczepanski was elected president, Josephine Danilowicz, vice-president: Lottie Demlbenski, secretaryg and Ada Seder, treasurer. 'The great event of the year was the selection of our class rings. Three designs were submitted to the class, upon which we voted intelligently, as usual, and chose the best ring ever owned by' any other sophomore class. The culinary talent that existed am-on.g the pretty damsels of the class was dis- played at .a food sale held in the Racicot Furniture Store. Were those sweets de- licious! Z It is reported that local physicians were very busy that night. This fact cannot be attributed to the food but to the subsequent excessive overeating, for the cakes could not be resisted. Ask Miss Oakes, who can give you definite proof. The eccentricity of the class was displayed when we all refused to associate or mingle with the unsophisticated, unrcserved, unscrupulous freshmen. Yes, we re- fused to -conduct a S-ophomore-Freshman party. The funds were to be preserved for a glorious Junior Prom the next year. Time and tide crept upon us, and our Sophomore year came to a close. Half of our high school career was ended. Eagerly we awaited the more glorious years that were to come. In 1931 we returned as Juniors, brown as Malays after basking in the sun all summer. Again Francis Sczepanski was elected -president with Francis Marchand, vice-president: Jennie Kubicki, secretaryg Gladys Waterhouse, treasurer. From the beginnin.g of the year we lived in mortal dread of the Hall'owe'en party given to us through the generosity of the Seniors. They arranged a splendid pro- gram including a compulsory visit through the Cave of Horrors. We poor Juniors shivered and shrieked, but, as a newspaper would .put it, we survived. During the year Miss Caldwell left our midst, and Miss Putnam replaced her. Our Junior Prom was by far the most oustan-ding affair ever held at Bartlett. We danced to the snappy rhythm of Herb Whitney's orchestra underneath the lavish decorations of blue and white, our class colors. Twelve 0'clock came much too soon, and left us with pleasant memories of our first formal affair. The days fled on the wings of time, and soon our Junior year was ended. We returned in 1932 to find ourselves assumin.g the role of Biartlett's most popular saying, Dignified Seniors. The expression gav-e us a thrill and still does. We tower over the Juniors as a skyscraper over an ant-hill. Again We elected our ever popular president, the calm, cool Francis Sczepanski, Other officers were Ralph Igl-owski, vice-pres-identg Jennie Kubicki, secretaryg and Gladys Waterhouse, treasurer. Several changes were made in the faculty. Miss Olive Baker replaced Miss Annie Wood, and Miss Lara Wheaton succeed-ed Miss Marion Bibber. The first .big event of our most important year was the Junior Initiation party And did we give them their share of fright! Ask any Junior, he knows.
