RALPH M. T. JOHNSON Superintendent of Schools To the Class of 1949: Please accept this expression of my fondest personal regards, my highest respect, and my hope that each of you will become aware of his great worth to the world. There is no practical limit to what you can accomplish for the good of mankind if you will, first of all, recognize your importance as indi- viduals, and then attack life with the intention of putting your special talents to work for the good of others. I believe that the Class of 1949 can and will make its impact felt in a world that sorely needs the services of men and women whose lives are dedicated to the unselfish carrying out of God’s will. Ralph M. T. Johnson Page sci on MR. LIONEL A. PECHEY Principal To the Class of 1949: Through your trials and tribulations of these four years at Bethel High School, you have reached the point where life's problems become more realistic and complex than ever before. May the training which has resulted from your efforts, our efforts, your parents' guidance, and the contributions of your fellow schoolmates stand you in good stead. May you contribute much to the world about you in every way, and may you achieve individual success in your chosen field. Lionel A. Pechey Fciru eight MISS MARGARET C. FISHER Class Advisor To the Forty-Niners: It has been a pleasure working with you and sharing your accom- plishments. If you, in the future, will show the same spirit of co-operation, loyalty, and willingness that you have shown in your class activities, I feel sure that the future holds for each one of you all the things I am wishing for you. Always remember the slogan of Room 23! The secret of Happiness is not in doing what one likes, But in liking what one has to do.” With my best wishes, Pig9 nine Margaret C. Fisher Mr. E. J. O'Dea Mrs. E. P. Boice Mr. F. T. Sehulster Miss Lucy Vernik Miss M. C. Fisher Mr. L. A. Pechey To the faculty, the Class of 1949 would like to express its sincerest thanks for their tireless efforts and boundless patience in guiding us during our four years in B.HS. Miss M. G.

S., 1911 Music to the tune of Wesleyan Victory” Page fori) three C (aii . II{.’llor 1 freshman ye, September 1915! We fondly look back to that memorable day when the welcoming doors of B.H.S. opened to a group of thoroughly bewil- dered frosh.” As was to be expected, we were greeted” by the upper classmen in their traditional, superior manner. To acquaint us with Bethel High School’s faculty and student body, the Student Council sponsored a Freshman Reception for us. Next came the job of electing class officers. Those chosen were Gardner Warren, president; Robert Corker, vice- president; Gloria Hilley, secretary; and Donald Capellaro, treasurer. Our Class advisors were Mrs. Curtin and Mrs. Schatzle. In the spring, we staged our one and only social event of the year, a barn dance, which proved that we had the ability to make a success of our following years. So ended our first year in Bethel High. Sort. om ore yea-------- Looking back to that September, we see ourselves proudly strutting through the halls with new-found confidence, understandingly sympa- thizing with the newcomers. It was then we elected our second group of officers, namely Joseph Sullivan, president; Arne Johnson, vice-president; Evelyn Staib, secretary; and Robert Gorman, treasurer. In early October, we undertook our social affair, another barn dance, which like the first, fulfilled all expectations. During the year, several members of our class participated in athletics, thus representing us in those fields. Toward the Page forty-four list on end of the year, we took time to order our much wanted class rings. As June again rolled around, we had an enjoyable picnic at Squantz Pond. Thus we ended our second year, looking forward to bigger and better things. junior IJJear . . . The FIRST half of our four years having ended, we began our Junior year eagerly and optimistically. The realization that we were now upper classmen gave us the necessary assurance needed to accomplish many things. We re-elected Joseph Sullivan as president, Arne Johnson as vice-president, Evelyn Staib as secretary, and Robert Gorman as treasurer. The first event of note took place on a day in October when we became the proud owners of our class rings. About the same time, we began our plans for the Junior Minstrel, which was to take place in early November. The minstrel was an event which we shall never forget; it was a huge success in every way. Two issues of the B.H.S. Recorder were chalked up on our ever growing list of accomplishments. The class turned to more serious thoughts during mid-year examinations, but shortly after, prepa- rations were begun for our long awaited Junior Prom. Although finan- cially it was not up to expectations, socially we had a wonderful time. Our annual barn dance took place in May leaving, last but by no means least, our class picnic at Lake Quassapaug as our final social event of the year. The last school assembly, at which time we received report cards, gave us definite proof that we were now dignified seniors.” Pjgc forty-five Seniors at last! It really wasn't so long as we expected. Everyone determined to buckle down and make the most of this final year. Joseph Sullivan was again elected our class president. His fellow officers, Gloria Muhlfeld, vice-president; Rita Sullivan, secretary; and Karl Epple, treas- urer, led us through our final months in B.H.S. During October, we declared a Twirp Season” which culminated in a square dance at which the boys were the guests of the girls. No sooner had we taken down the trimmings from that affair, than we were confronted with the problems of choosing an editor for our yearbook. We chose Karl Epple to do the job, with Gloria Muhlfeld and Gardner Warren as co-editors, and John Pattison, Business Manager. When all the committees were appointed, we were off to a flying start. A pleasant interlude which lifted our spirits was an invitation to the Junior Prom. Its success, we are sure, is the fore- runner of many successes ahead for the class of '50. To next year’s seniors, we wish the best of luck. Then after a short breathing spell, we plunged into preparation for the Senior play, We Shook The Family Tree,” and the Senior dance. The real highlight of the year, however, was the Senior Prom. Then we realized that in an incredibly short time our days in Bethel High school would be over. Inexorably, clocks had been ticking off the seconds, minutes, hours. Day after day had been crossed off . . . Septem- ber, October, November . . . page after page torn from our calendars. And now—June! Page forty-six CL, Wilt We. the Class of 1949, of Bethel High School, Bethel, Connecticut, being of sound mind and questionable delusions, do, on this the twenty- third day of the month of June, in the year of our Lord, nineteen hundred and forty-nine, declare this to be our last will and testament- To the Class of 1950 we bequeath the good luck which they will need in their Senior year and also, class advisors as understanding as the ones which we have had during our four years in Bethel High School. Particularly .... To Mr. Johnson, we bequeath ten acres of land on which to build a school in the center of town. To Mr. Pechey, we bequeath a new black book in gratitude for the assignment books he gave us.

We the Class of ’49, are not responsible for lawsuits, files, or damages brought against Bethel High School, and all resemblances to living persons are purely intentional. Signed: Julianne Gallagher John Menton Executors ec,t Many years ago, in the busy laboratory of B.H.S., our brilliant fellow student, Karl Epple, developed a marvelous plastisupersonic moonarbus, complete with a one way ticket to the moon. Now it sc happened that Professor Epple appointed the unsuspecting Miss Fisher (an indispensable part of B.H.S.) to take the first flight to the moon. She needed to get away from it all, anyway. It is now the year 1969 and Miss Fisher has at long last completed her laboratory, in which she is attempting to teach physics to the moon creatures. With their aid, she has built the most powerful telescope in the universe. She is now fiddling with the instruments and suddenly is amazed by the vague image of Mother Earth. Now focusing the telescope, into view comes John Pattison, selling gold bricks in South Africa. Sitting in the shade of his cactus plantation is Warren Salomon, with whiskers, playing his guitar. A few miles away is John Andrews who is now the proprietor of a unique business: Andrews’ Matrimonial Bureau for Lonely Ubangees.” She switches the telescope and what should she see but a billboard reading A1 Schlemmer—Horse and Body Builder—competent assistant, Joan Mannion.” Gazing more closely, she sees, resting in the grass below the billboard, old Grandpa Rambling Randall waiting for night to fall so he can catch it. Then, suddenly, across the lens of the telescope streaks a blurred object. Following this blur, she discovers with amazement Evelyn Staib riding Darn Hangover’’ to Joe Murad’s You’ll Pay Race Track.” At the track, she sees many familiar faces, one of whom is Ed Hubert, taking bets on the daily double. She sees on the program that John Menton is up on Hurry Home Mamma” in the fifth. She also sees three girls, Ann Aminti, Margaret Wellings, and Marlene Walsh selling Alex Clement's Ready Made Fruity-Tutty Mellow Mush Ice Cream.” Pago fifty one Leaving the race track, the telescope focuses on the office of the eminent psychiatrist, Charles Gereg, who has just completed his book Love Thy Fellow Man in Three Easy Lessons.” In the office next door, she sees Drill ’em Deep, Don Capellaro, dentist at large, pounding merci- lessly with hammer and chisel on the tooth of Smilin’ Joe” Tenk, re- tired inventor of Tender Tidbits For Tiny Tots.” Standing next to Don is his assistant, Lucy Mae Osborne who recently graduated from Vaseline College. Very much interested in sports, Miss Fisher once again adjusts the telescope and finds herself watching an exciting football game in Clifford Banks’ Cotton Bowl. Birdie himself is acting as Referee and is engaged in a spirited argument with one of the players. The player is none other than Nancy Dann, for this is the famous all-girl team from Mildew U. Meanwhile a rousing cheer issues from the other side of the field where Dotsy Ellis’ cheerleaders are standing on their heads cheering the team. Now they are forming a pyramid with Georgianna Kelley on the top, waving a huge pennant and trying to get the attention of some of the spectators. Being curious as to who the spectators are, Miss Fisher is surprised to see Dot Dennis, Dorothy Jacobsen, and Dot Bailey getting up suddenly to leave. Wondering where they are going, she sees them board a queer type of plane and cross the continent and the ocean, no less. She gazes stupefied as they walk into a building in Paris displaying this sign: Dainty Dotsy Spices, Dot, Dot, Dot, and Semicolon, Inc. The last is a Junior partner. Looking across the street, she sees a large sign in a window Caskets For Sale—Dirt Cheap. Try our New Lay Away Plan.” This is the famous You Slay ’em We Lay ’em” funeral parlor, proprietor, Bob Gorman. His efficient chauffeur, Heart Breaker Hilley is out knocking down business. Further across the continent, another of our class is making a name for himself. Captain Jim Tarrant is owner of Tarrant’s Tug, the new ecy showboat on the Vulgar River. Annie Dratch's Dancing Dolls are really going to town doing the Volga Rhumba which is jazzed up to a hot tempo by the one and only Orticelli-Durgy duo, masters of the Doleful Down- beat. At the pianos are seated Gloria Muhlfeld, Audrey Brown, Liz Delaney and Marcella English who constitute the Second Piano quartet, who are now on a world tour for the 49th time since they organized. Going west again, the English Channel comes into view, mobs of people crowding its banks. For the third consecutive time, the Harry Beiermann-Ward Dann Swimming team has just reached the opposite shore and now they are starting back again. Watching this contest from his lofty perch, she sees Joe Sullivan fullfilling his life’s ambition, paint- ing the White Cliffs of Dover green—kelly green, that is. Sticking out of his pocket is a late edition of The Ding-Dong Gazette” edited by Anne Scott whose policy of Life, Liberty, and Pursuit—pursue what you like, I’m not fussy” has made newspaper history. The smashing headline startles her— Revolt in Bolivia!!! ’49er starts a revolution.” She focuses the telescope to Bolivia where a court-room scene flashes into view. Mae La Roza, famous woman lawyer is defending the defendant in the defense. Nancy Thomasson is accused of touching off a revolution. She was selling chile in Bolivia—hot stuff!!! How did this famous case turn out? Well, the lawyer discovered it wasn’t chile she was selling—it was ketchup. Case dismissed. Anybody want a hamburger?? While in the vicinity, she de- cides to look around. Glancing over to Ecuador, what should she see but Arne Johnson’s Scooty-Scooter Service, around the equator in three days. Another of our classmates is in South America, Grace Schulze by name. She has discovered a unique process for stuffing olives—you crawl through the olive, dragging the pimento behind you. Miss Fisher is wondering what has become of the rest of her old class, so it’s back to the U.S.A. The first person who comes into view is Shirley Steck, proprietor of the Broken Spoke,” famous night club noted for its exclusive enter- Page fifty.three tainment. Julianne Gallagher is singing the sure fire hit Hot Sparks” accompanied by that all-girl orchestra consisting of Evelyn Fallenbeck and her Stradivarius violin. On the next block she finds Mary Ann Bertozzi has become a great success as president of the Last National Bank. At this moment she is cashing a check for Gardner Warren, winner of the Crooked Mile” with his famous racing car the Bent Wheel.” Next door to the bank is a Taxi- dermist Shoppe—Nancy Berloni proprietor. In this very same building is one of the radio stations, in fact the only radio station left in the world. In station NUTS, Carl La Mar is auditioning his new show Stop the Music or Shoot the Conductor.” Miss Fisher is sure it will be a hit. The program is soon over and then Jack Benny comes on the air, with his featured songsters Rita Sullivan and Dennis Day singing Clancy Lowered the Boom.” Their encore, When I Grow Too Old To Dream” is in honor of Jack’s 40th birthday. On the other side of town, Carol Berg- strom is now running the What Hoppened Hock Shop—Second Hand Cigarettes, used chewing gum for sale.” As the telescope rotates, it suddenly whams into the head of Roman Mrozinski. It seems that Roman is conducting an experiment. He knows that the moon is made of cheese, but he’s looking for the cows. Miss Fisher glances over to the rocket ship in which he made the trip — Another of Epple’s creations?”—and out steps Karl Epple, himself. He explains that he can’t stay because he has an appointment in half an hour. For the outstanding achievement of the year, he is to receive the Nobel Prize. He has at last found out where Chloe has been hiding her- self all these years. After they leave her, she comes to the conclusion that there is ex- actly one person she has not seen, Ruthie Bartram. A survey of the earth once more reveals Ruth, huddled over her typewriter, still writing the phophecy.

Under the able direction of Miss Mar- garet Fisher, one of the best minstrels ever seen in Bethel was produced. We were very fortunate in having much talent in this year’s class. The successful outcome of the minstrel was the result of the tireless effort of the end-men and the specialties, and the capable leadership of the interlocutor, Victor Durgy. The colorful ends—Gloria Muhlfeld, Audrey Brown, Evelyn Staib, Dorothy Ellis, Arne Johnson, Joe Sullivan, Dom Orticelli and Bob Gorman, were well received by the audience. However, certain specialties such as: Gloria Hilley, Carl LaMar, Gloria Traurig, Grace Schulze, and Dorothea Bailey, added to the enjoyment of the show. The music was under the able direction of Mr. Oliver Mellen, who did a splendid job in organizing the chorus. Page sixty-four Recorder It was our privilege to publish two editions of the Recorder during our Junior year. We, the Class of ’49, tried to bring the paper back to the standard set up when it first made its debut under the direction of Mrs. Ernest Miller. All Juniors joined in working on this first big project of our high school careers. When the last staple was in, we breathed a big sigh of relief—then came the news. What a disappointment we felt when our wonderful paper was rejected for illegibility of print. Nevertheless, we weren’t defeated for long. Every typist available came to the rescue and after much sweat, toil, and a whole weekend, we proudly displayed Our Paper” for sale—for it was truly Our Paper”. In June, our second edition came out. This was the last edition of the Recorder, before it became a school paper. Page uxiy-fite A comedy, We Shook the Family Tree,” based on a book by Hilde- garde Dolson, was presented by the Senior Class, April 8, before a record audience. The cast included Gloria Hilley as Hildegarde Dolson, Bob Gorman as Freddie Shermer, Dominic Orticelli as Mr. Dolson, Grace Schulze as Mrs. Dolson, Anne Scott as Sally, Arne Johnson as Bob, Edward Hubert as Jimmy, Nancy Thomasson as Paige Mason, Dorothea Bailey as Ellie- May, Nancy Berloni as Jill, Victor Durgy as Mr. Shermer, and Gloria Muhlfeld as Mrs. Shermer. The play is based on a girl, Hildegarde, who is tired of being a wall- flower. Through her efforts to make an impression on the boys many uproarious situations arise. Freddie, the boy who is to take her to the Senior Prom, wears knickers. By taking drastic action to assert himself, so that he can wear long pants to the Prom, he attempts to steal Bob’s pants and, then, finally in desperation, turns in his graduation present, a watch from his parents, for a complete new outfit. Hilarious situations combined to classify this play as the most amusing ever presented at Bethel High School. Page sixty-six a eer(eader3 Captain—Dorothy Ellis Advisor—Mr. Oliver C.

MacDonald, Oliver Mellen and Esther Boice for the time they have spent in coaching and guiding us during our four years stay. We hope that they will continue their coaching careers at Bethel and produce many more worthwhile representations in the various sports. Page seventy-one Uarditu Joollall In spite of the fact that this year’s team had few experienced players and was faced with the pessimistic attitude of local sports fans, it soon became apparent that a bright season lay ahead. The Wildcats” didn’t win the league championship, but proved that aggressiveness and confi- dence among the players made up for the loss of so called stars. The bright spots in the season started off with the first game when the Maroon and White toppled the overconfident Newtown, future league champions. In the second game a supurb passing attack, climaxed by a 40 yard touchdown heave, with but seconds to go, resulted in Bethel’s second victory. The third and foremost highlight of the season was the return match between Bethel and Newtown. The contest was the first known six man football game to be played under the arcs in this region. The Blue from Newtown came out on top by a 4 point margin, in a hard fought contest. Members of the team graduating this year are halfbacks, Capt. Joe Sullivan; Cliff Banks and Gardner Warren; at quarter, Arne Johnson; on the ends, Karl Epple and Harry Beiermann; Bob Gorman at center, and manager John Menton. Page seventy-two C ro33 Though only two years old, Cross Country seems to have itself firmly imbedded in Bethel High School athletics. The MacDonaldmen dropped the first two meets to Darien with respective scores of 29-31, 17-38, despite the fact that Bethel’s Captain Cliff Kayser broke the tape in both events. In the third meet, again paced by Kayser, Bethel came out on top, trouncing their class A neighbors from Danbury by a score of 20-35. The Wildcats” made an impressive performance at the state meet. In a field of twenty-one schools, the team finished twelfth, beating not only teams in its own class, but representations from larger schools also. Graduating members of the team are: A1 Clement, Alfred Schlemmer and Ed Hubert. The team was coached by John R. MacDonald and assisted by Oliver C. Mellen. Page seienty-lbree hu silij d udbetbad Losing many players by graduation and having few pre-season warm- ups, the Bethel High School basketball team started out in the wrong direction, dropping three out of their first four games. Coach Sehulster finally got his lads in condition and by mid-season the Wildcats really began to hit. Bethel toppled Henry Abbott by three points in the crucial league game of the season to clinch the southern half of the H.V.S.L. champion- ship. Meeting Thomaston for the H.V.S.L. title was next on the schedule but, being unable to penetrate the tight zone defense set up by the northern boys, Bethel lost the game. The squad entered the state tournament rated as number sixteen. Entering the first round with the idea that every game won was one more than expected proved to be excellent psychological strategy as the team proceeded to conquer both Guilford, ranked nineteen, and Simsbury, rated sixth, by good scores. It is the general opinion that the Bethel five exhibited its best performance in these games. Tension seemed to have gripped the players in the quarter-finals as the No. 1 team Morgan of Clinton trounced the Wildcats in a lopsided score. Page seventy-four Bethel’s basketball sextet, under the able guidance of Coach Mrs. Boice, proved their skill as basketeers and good sports as they rolled through the season trouncing most of their opponents. Only Newtown was able to hold the girls down which they readily did in two contests. Morris and Woodbury fell victims to Bethel in four easy conquests. In the first game with New Milford the Bethelites came from behind to tie the score at the whistle. In the last game of the season with both teams having the same record the Bethel girls came out on top clinching second place in the southern half of the H.V.S.L. Graduating members of the team are: Captain Evelyn Staib, Rita Sullivan, Mae La Roza, Nancy Berloni and Dorothy Dennis. Returning to the squad next year will be Carole Finger, Roberta Chapman, Lucille Riley, Margaret Sullivan, Mary Dunleavy, Juliette Ellis, Betty Rubley, Betty Rapp, Faith Rubino, Manager Althea Ferry, Assistant Manager Beverly Wildman. Page sevenly-fne After winning five league and one indoor state championship in the first six years of track at Bethel, local supporters are again looking forward to another bright season for the track team. Coach MacDonald again claims he is dubious of the seasons out- come but with several experienced runners to form a nucleus and each member giving his best we will again witness a worthwhile track repre- sentation from Bethel High. Seniors reporting for practice are Captain Harry Beiermann, Bob Gorman, Arne Johnson, Vic Durgy, Alex Clement, A1 Schlemmer and Warren Salomon. Other members of the team are: Ward Dann, Manager; Joe Sullivan, Trainer; John R. MacDonald, Coach; Oliver C. Mellen, Assistant Coach. Page seventy-six It is very difficult to predict the outcome of the baseball season at Bethel High this year. Coach Sehulster has not yet called a work-out for the team due to the lack of suitable weather conditions. The team will miss the work of last year’s graduates but with many lettermen and jay-vee players returning we can expect that a snappy and high spirited squad will take the field for Bethel this spring. Seniors returning for action this year are: Capt. Don Capellaro in left field, Gardner Warren at third base and Karl Epple behind the plate. Others playing will be Ted Voulgaris at second, Lou Parsons at short stop and Roy Dunlap, Bob Keeler, and Bob Chapman in the outfield; Joe Piskura, S. Erhardt, and John Kerr will probably toe the mound for the Wildcats. Page seventy-sevtn This spring Coach Mrs. E. Boice hopes to have a very successful season. With many of last year’s performers returning to action and a break in the weather we should soon see the girls dashing around the base- paths at Parloa field. Returning from last year’s squad are Mary Ann Bertozzi, Barbara Thumann, Evelyn Staib, Rita Sullivan, Althea Ferry, Mae La Roza, Nancy Mitchell, Mary Ellen Dunleavy, Margaret Brown, Dorothea Bailey, Juliette Ellis, Betty Showalter, Lucille Riley, Pat Donnelly, Anne Dratch, Faith Rubino and Nancy Berloni.
