Theme-The Treasury Book of the '49ers. V Colors-Blue and Gold Flower-White rose Motto- The surest way not to fail is to determine to succeedf' 4 EDITORIAL In 1849 the nation was buzzing with the exciting news of the discovery of gold in California. Many people were filled with the desire to leave their homes and find wealth and power. To the pioneers it was their golden opportunity. In 1949 thousands of Seniors will graduate from high school and will be filled with the same desires of their forefathers. To them their diploma pre- sents the pass key for golden opportunities. The Forty Niners of old had manydifhculties to overcome in order to achieve their objectives. The Seniors too, have had to overcome many hurdles along the way. The task is not completed as soon as they graduate from high school. There will be more problems to solve before they will have achieved their full success in lifeg but with the experience gained from their forefathers and learning acquired through school, the remainder of the way will be less diflicult. Though the student may have grumbled at times about the trials at school, when tasks seemed insurmountable and the diploma lost its significance, it is well to remember that the pioneers had such moments of despair. There were times when they felt it was useless to go on, when the trail seemed long and fruitless. With faith and perseverance though, the journey soon became one with a purpose, one destined for fulfillment and success. The pioneers who migrated to the West were faced with a new kind of life. They were dependent upon their own natural resources. Seniors, on their graduation day, are migrating to a new life also. Some will go on to college, some to jobs, and today some will enter the armed services to protect the land their forefathers developed for them. When the Forty Niners reached California and started panning gold, they had to sift away the sand and save only the valuable pieces of gold that would bring rich rewards. In the same way, when the l949ers decide on a destination after graduation, they must sift the good from the bad and save only the valuable information that will bring them rich rewards as they work for their goal. Let it be remembered that there are golden opportunities for everyone if the source is pioneered. 5 L.

The babbling brooks and the rivers In and out of the meadow How. The birds they dip their wings in flight To seek the beauty of the sky, Their songs are echoing through the sunlight, Of joys and dreams that cannot die. The light of the day in silence sleeps, And in the lonely still of night The tiny stream seaward creeps, To meet the morning light. Dordre Janet LET'S MAKE IT FOR KEEPS! Though they say high-school romances never last, That they always become just a part of the past, That they're all forgotten after Graduation Day, Let's make this one different, different I pray Let's Make It For Keeps! Though they say this kind of thing isn't true, That sooner or later we'll meet somebody new, Letls prove it all wrong what people always say, We'll still be together after Graduatino Day, Let's Make It For Keeps! June Bjorndahl 22 CLASS To Senior class president of forty-nine, For doing a difficult task so fine, We give jimmy Ventres a well-earned cheer, In leading us through our last year. Donald Anderson as vice-president proved to An asset in leading our class thru faithfully, And maybe someday a great artist he'll be, Because he can also draw so skillfully. Almeda Duke, senior class secretary Performed her job with skill and integrity, A capable student with personality fine, She faithfully served the class of forty-nine. To our excellent treasurer, Roger Cowles Goes our most sincere praises. No one need worry about Roger, For he'll succeed in Work of many phases. Jean Viseskis, capable and smart, Always more than does her part. And Ingegerd also, so willing to work, Never does she her duty shirk. F is for Ferraresso, a lover of sports, Wherever she goes, she'll find support. Janet ,too, a cheerleader sublime, Does a job, and does it fine. If there's a commotion in the hallway, And there is almost every school dayg n You don't have to guess it's Carl and Pete So glad to skip classes and out there meet. To some kids school is boring, But how can school be dull. With two such wide-awake students, As Joan Nicolle and Judy Tull? Future dressmakers-who knows? Prizes they may win! Skillful Catherine Politis, Gladys Watkins, and Joan Flynn. julie Wirsul's ready wit, With all the classes she's a hit. And Billy Slamon-full of fun, Where he is there's mischief begun. Rachel is one who, when the work is done Does not waste time, but has some fun. June, like Rachel, if of the best, And is always good for fun with the rest. Like birds of a feather, They always flock together, In the jalopy of Richie, Or the truck of Chuck. Two fair lasses-who could they be? jane and Ann who fit to a Both so pretty and with that air, They make a very charming pair. BALLADS Evelyn and Margaret are two of a kind, And in school you will always find Them working together for the class, Doing their best 'till the last. Dordre is friendly, quiet, and serious too, Yes, all of these tributes we pay to you. Here's to Ellen fair of face, She'd be welcome in any place. John and Bob, our captains, And a squad that's really great, No wonder Bloomfield has a team, That's always sure to rate. A lovely girl is above all rank. And Cynthia's one upon whom you can bank. Louise, too, is always so neat, And one you'll find cute and sweet. Here comes Albert, right on the ball, Well-dressed, carefree, liked by all. Dolores, too, is well-dressed, liked by everyone, She's so cute and always full of fun. Chris Webber is also on the team, And you'll find him on the beam. Forster and Osburn when their work is done, Always are jovial and full of fun. Throughout the basketball season, We have praised our co-captains with reason. Nora and Shirley, with the help of the rest, Have inspired our team to do their best. Salt goes with pepper, Coffee goes with tea, George and Herbie go together, As everyone can see. Elaine Quavillon, a diligent lass, Many others she will surpass. And Gloria, too, her friend indeed, ls always there when her help you need. William Willis, a lad so great, No one need worry about his fate. And Tom Fenton, whose moments aren't dead, Always in this world will be ahead. Gert, a cheerleader for the class of forty-nine, Always does her work so fine! And Jean Martyn, an acrobat unsurpassed, For her our votes we'l1 always cast.

We, the members of the Class of '49, admit it was we who wandered about that first day trying to find Room 13. What a hectic time we had-trying to get to classes on time, decipher our schedule, and get used to the new rules. How we envied the con- fidence of the mightv Seniors! Their self-assurance was the secret goal of all of us. It wasn't long before we had a class meeting. We were called to order on October 10 for the pur- pose of electing our class ofiicers. Jimmy Ventres was elected President, Joan Flynn, Vice-President, Elaine Quavillon, Secretary, and Pete Humphrey, Treasurer. At our next meeting, we decided to send flowers to Elaine Ferraresso, who was ill and confined to bed. On the 28th of the month, an Acquaintance Party was held so that we could get to know each other. A few weeks later we presented a Meet the Freshmen program, in which we introduced our oflicers and class talent to the upperclassmen. One of the high points of the program was the skit between Pete Marshall and William Scully. Pete Humphrey composed the song, Here Come the Freshmen , which was used as our theme. Four of our group with dramatic talent pre- sented a Christmas play on December 21. They were Ingegerd Larson, Pat DeWitt, Albert Neuhauser, and Virginia Bentley. We Frosh also had fun at our Valentine's Day party which featured a Valentine Hunt. The win- ners, Virginia Bentley and Bob Jorgensen, were crowned King and Queen Valentine. Our annual dance, carried out in a St. Patrick's Day theme, was a great success. The hall was appropriately decorated with green and white stream- ers and shamrocks. Music was provided by Baker's Cavaliers. And so, with the help of Miss Zabriskie, our able and competent adviser, we close the book on an unforgettable Freshman year. SOPHOMORE YEAR-1946-1947 After a summer vacation that seemed to pass too quickly, we settled down to being Sophomores, a title far more dignified than Freshmen , At our first class meeting, which took place Sep- tember 24, we elected our class ofiicers. Chosen to lead our class this year were: Bob Jorgensen, Presi- dent, Jim Ventres, Vice-President, Joan Flynn, Secre- tary, and William Scully, Treasurer. One of the first social events of the year was the Sophomore Hop . Our dance carried out the har- vest-time theme. The decorations followed the pat- tern of cornstalks, pumpkins, and harvest moons, with green and orange crepe-paper streamers. To culminate our study of wild life, the Sopho- more Biology Class embarked on a trip to Forest Park, in Springfield. Guided by Mr. Sperl, we took in many sights, including a huge black water buffalo that charged against the fence and nearly frightened us to death. We spent the day there, enjoying the humorous antics of the lively monkeys, the bright colors of the tropical birds, and the hot dogs and sodas at the adjoining luncheonette. We tiredly climbed aboard the waiting school bus, and headed for home, B. H. S. Early in December the homemaking class was invited to a fashion show at Windsor High School. Upon return, they talked of nothing but their pros- pective fall wardrobes. Our class was well represented in the various school activities. For example, Joan Nicolle, Jimmy Ventres, and Bob Jorgensen were on the Student Council. Joan Flynn and Judy Tull were on the SALMON SHEET staff. Elaine Quavillon, Ann Faulk- ner, Herbert Holmquist, and Joan Flynn were in the Dramatic Club. Soccer lettermen included Bob Jor- gensen, Chris Webber, Osburn Harrison, Jimmy Ventres, and Donald Keene. Our basketball stars were John Novak, Pete Marshall, Harry Stepanick, Bob Jorgensen, Chris Webber, Roger Cowles, and Albert Neuhauser, Baseball claimed John Novak, Chris Webber, Jimmy Ventres, and Bob Jorgensen. We even had one cheerleader, Elaine Quavillon, JUNIOR YEAR-1947-1948 The summer passed on wings, and before we could say B, H. S. we were back to our friends and activities. The first meeting of the Junior Class took place on September 25. The oflicers that we subse- quently elected were Pete Marshall, President, Chris Webber, Vice-President, Joan Flynn, Secretary, John Novak, Treasurer. Our first activity of the year was the Harvest Moon Dance , which was held on October 30 in the high school auditorium. The hall was decorated repre- senting a farm in the Fall. Cider, soda, and dough- nuts were served. And, of course, everyone had a good time. The Junior Ring Committee, consisting of Alfred Forster, William Willis, William Slamon, Herbert Holmquist, Elaine Quavillon, Julia Wirsul, Joan Nicolle, and Janet Burnham chose six rings from the salesmen who came to Bloomfield. We then voted on these and chose a beautiful design called the Empire . Early in the new year, members were inducted into the Honor Society. Those from the Junior Class were Ingegerd Larson, Nora I.eHane, Cynthia Bar- nard, Gloria Tinto, Elaine Quavillon, Jean Viseskis, and Herbert Holmquist. Those of us on the Student Council were Bob Jorgensen, Elaine Ferraresso, Pete Humphrey, and Pete Marshall. We were certainly well represented in the Busi- ness Club, for thirteen Junior girls were members. Having gone on trips to the Connecticut General Life Insurance Company, St. Joseph's College, and best of all, a trip to Boston, we can honestly say we had a very active and successful year. The newly-organized College Club claimed six- teen of us as members. The year was highlighted by a trip to the University of Connecticut. To raise money for the club's treasury, the Echo , a national school publication, was sold to the students. Some of us served on the staff of the SALMON SHEET. They were Joan Nicolle, Elaine Quavillon, Gloria Tinto, Pete Humphrey, Ann Faulkner, Elaine Ferraresso, Margaret Blasig, and Herbert Holmquist. The club with most of us as members, however, was the Girls' Athletic Association. Just about every girl in the class was a member of that group. Our boys did quite well for themselves too. Those who played on the soccer team were Chris Webber, Roger Cowles, Bob Jorgensen, and Jimmy Ventres. These four helped to make it a successful year for Bloomfield. Five of our boys defended Bloom- field against baseball opponents. They were Chris Webber, Bob Jorgensen, Jimmy Ventres, Osburn Har- rison, and William Slamon. One of our boys, John Novak, was on the varsity basketball team. Others on the second team were Chris Webber, Jimmy Ventres, and Bob Jorgensen. Two of our girls were cheerleaders, Shirley St. Pierre and Nora LeHane did great work to cheer our boys to V-I-C-T-O-R-Y. With such a lot of activities to keep us all busy, is it any wonder that June came around before we realized? How wonderful we all felt, as we shut the door on that year, and prepared for an even greater year-as SENIORS! SENIOR YEAR-1948- 1949 As we started school in September for the last time, we suddenly realized the importance of being Seniors, and an aura of self-importance surrounded us. How strange we felt at first-almost like Fresh- men-for a new system was started making two sessions of school instead of one. We had to get used to the idea of conducting our activities in less time. But, despite all the protests, the system turned out well. As we all know, sadness accompanies joy. But sometimes, when everything is going along well, we forget this, and think that things will remain as they are. That is why we were so shocked when we heard of the untimely death of our classmate, Pete Humphrey, on September 29. At a hastily called class meeting, we decided to have an assembly in his honor the following day, and to attend his funeral. On October 5, after much campaigning, we elected our class officers. Jimmy Ventres and Bob Jorgensen were the two nominees for the presidency, and after heated debate and much voting, Jimmy was elected by a slim majority. Bob Jorgensen was elected Vice-President, and Almeda Duke and Roger Cowles were then chosen Secretary and Treasurer respectively. The Hartford Tuberculosis Junior Board of Direc- tors has representatives from seven schools of the metropolitan Hartford area. Our representatives were Judy Tull and Elaine Quavillon, We were fortunate to have one officer elected from our school, Elaine Quavillon, Secretary. Our next class meeting was held to choose our class colors, motto, and flower. The colors blue and gold were chosen. Three mottoes were suggested to vote upon. The most fitting was selected and it was, The surest way not to fail is to determine to suc- ceed . Having dispensed with class colors and motto, we proceeded to vote for our class flower. Four flowers were suggested, and when voted upon, the white rose won by an overwhelming majority. Fall progressed, and winter came. Before we knew it, the time to organize for the Christmas Prom was at hand. After much preparation, the big night arrived. One of our girls, Judy Tull, was chosen queen, and Tim Cronin, a graduate of '48, was king. Early in the year the Honor Society inducted new members. Although we already had eight mem- bers in the Society, a new member, Judy Tull, from the Senior Class was initiated. Our Student Council was an active group this year, for why should it be otherwise, with Elaine Quavillon, Gloria Tinto, Chris Webber, Herbert Holmquist, and Jimmy Ventres as members. Many of us served on the SALMON SHEET this year which was headed by Joan Nicolle as editor. The TATTLER started out with an enthusiastic, hard-working staff. A Juke Box Dance , a basketball game, sale of refreshments, TATTLER movies, a card party and a bazaar were some of the activities sponsored by the TATTLER in order to raise funds. The Ad and Patron campaigns made a splendid showing, and the Sales campaign drove on to a sweeping victory. Our class was well represented on the soccer, basketball, and baseball teams. Accounts of the play- ers and the games are given in the sports section. Bad luck came to us late in the basketball season. Our star center, John Novak, cracked his right ankle and was thus put out of action at a crucial time. Jimmy Ventres suffered an injury to his ankle also, and he was out of action for a time. The best times of all, those of Class Night and Graduation, we need not write about, for the memories of these two nights will remain forever in our hearts. Margaret Blasig Historian PROPHECY The atmosphere of the dock was strange and new to me, and I found it singularly exciting as I shoulder- ed my way through the crowd that was shouting last- minute good byes. It occurred to me that I was late, so I hurried up the gangplank, shuddering at the terrifically loud sound of the ship's horn. As I step- ped aboard the beautiful ship Cnamed the U. S. S. Small Honk j the obliging and friendly captain approached me, holding out his hand. It wasn't until he smiled one of his famous grins that I recognized Jim Ventref. After kindly requesting my presence at his table for dinner that evening, Captain Ventres called a steward to show me to my stateroom. Well, my goodness! Who should the steward be but Sailor Carl Sealnnd! After exchanging a few witticisms about the good old days , Carl left me at my state- room where I was made to feel comfortable by the ship's charming hostess Cynthia Barnard. Cynthia informed me that Joan Flynn, now a world-famous socialite, was on her way to the French Riviera to join her husband, Baron Webb von Christianovsky. She was accompanied by her two French poodles Oui Oui and Non Non . I hurried along to the dining room to a very delicious luncheon which I discovered had been planned by Evelyn Keene, the valuable ship's dieti- tian. I peeked into the shining and spotless kitchen to say hello to Evelyn, and who should I see with one of those big white chefs hats on but Alfred Forrter! Alfred explained that he'd been working as chief cook and bottlewasher on the ship for years. He'd started out to be an engineer, but he had a long talk with Miss Zabriskie, who assured him that cooking was his field. His assistant, john Norah, was in charge of washing dishes and seeing that there were enough onions in the stew. The only difficulty there, reported Alfred, was that john kept making sucker shots with the onions into a pot from across the room. After a long talk with Evelyn and the boys, I returned to my stateroom for a nap, when I suddenly felt a rather strange feeling coming over me. My stomach was rolling around and I felt rather woozy. I realized then that it was time for me to take one of my anti-seasick pills with which Dr. Alhert Nenhanrer, ship's doctor, had thoughtfully supplied each room. I woke up, three hours later, feeling as fresh as a spring morning. My first thought was of my din- ner appointment with the captain, but, looking at my watch, I discovered that it was yet a little early, and decided to browse around the deck. I noticed several people lounging in deck chairs, and as I passed them, who should look up but Catherine Politir and Shirley St. Pierre. There was a third per- son-a man snoring loudly and with his hat over his face. I recognized the snorer as being Orhurn Har- mon? C a throwback on the days when he used to sleep through Problems classj. I talked softly to Shirley and Catherine so as not to disturb the sleeper and learned that the girls are working together, de- signing clothes for RKO studios, and are taking a business trip to Paris. Indy Tull, they said, had plan- ned to go along, to do some buying in Europe, but Fox's couldn't spare her. Catherine had been reading a new book The Collateral Hyperbole of the jocundity As It Concerns the Mainspring by Roger Cowler. She suggested that I read it. I said good-bye to the girls and has- tened to the ship's library. Richard Miller, the kind- ly old librarian, said because it was so much in de- mand, that particular book was out, but would I care to read Escape Mechanisms-Their Effect on You by Thorna: Fenton. I thanked Richie and left, thinking how much he'd changed in the past ten years. I passed the game room as I left the library, and who should I see there but Bob Iorgenren, a suave looking fellow stroking a four inch handlebar mus- tache and chewing on a stogie while twirling the various roulette wheels. Chuck Hale seemed to be making quite a haul. I learned that in appreciation of all B. H. S. had done for him, he was building a thirty-five-story school since Bloomheld had grown so rapidly. Returning to the deck, I noticed a rather large group of people standing a small distance down the deck, and sauntered over to see what was going on. There in the center of the group was Herhert Holm- quist, standing on a soapbox, shouting and gesticulat- ing wildly over The Inherent Evils of a Two Thous- and Dollar Ad Campaign for Yearbooks . I was spell- bound by his wisdom and splendid oratorical talent, and couldn't help remembering some of those rugged class meetings we used to have! Also standing in the group around me, I noticed live other forty-niners . Joan Nicolle, nearest me told me that she is travelling abroad to gather mate- rial for a book she's planning to write. Gertrude Farrell and Dolores Petersen are both members of the Connecticut Symphony and were chosen to repre- sent the orchestra at a European Concert. jean Martyn, renowned ballerina, and her manager, Ellen Smith were travelling to Vienna for jean's perform- ance in the Russian version of the American Ballet. Ingegerd Larson, ship's nurse, was watchfully stand- ing near-by in case of any spell of seasickness. William Willis, the captain's righthand, rang a bell announhing dinner. Remembering my appoint- ment with the Captain, I hastened directly to the dining room. The gracious captain welcomed me to his table, and proceeded to point out celebrities pres- ent in the dining room. They included Donald Ander- son, whose specialty is painting pastels' on ostrich eggs. He says his best customer is jane Austin, who buys the eggs for her little cherubs Robbie, Bobbie and Clyde. Margaret Blasig the crack commercial illustrator for magazines was also on board. Nora LeHane, top-flight photographer was at a near- by table with janet Burnham, the international ten- nis champion. Nora has gained a reputation for her graphic shots of wrestling matches and is responsible for bringing Horrid Horace to the public eye. Elaine Quavillon director of Miss Dorde Janet's Exclusive School for Young Ladies' had a troup of debutantes in tow whom she was chaperoning on a trip to France. julie Wirsul, Gladys Watkins, and lean Viseskis travelling with their patent medicine show, were having a rollicking time at a corner table. Bill Slamon, the handsome movie actor, and his valet, Chris Web- her, could be seen across the room, and Elaine Fer- raresso and Almeala Duke, College Professors, were browsing through a couple of Brittanicas as they ate contentedly, blissfully unaware of the excitement going on around them. just then the orchestra started playing, and June Bjorndahl, glamorous songstress, warbled a torchy tune called I've Got My Glove to Keep Me Warm by Gloria Tinto, from her latest Broadway musical, Low-Button Gloves . Guest Pianist was the great concert star, Rachel Powers, and the festivities ended with a splendid number by the famous dance team Lou and Geo CLouise Rohichaud and George Brew- erb. I noticed that George still wore moccassins, even when dancing. The master of ceremonies, Pete-life-of-the-party Marshall announced a toast to the Forty-Niners . We all shouted approval, rose and sang lustily the tune and words of our good old Alma Mater's song- Let your name ring As we all sing Bloomfield High! Ann Faulkner CLASS We, the Senior Class of 1949 of Bloomfield High School, now being of sound mind and body, about to depart from these doors of knowledge after four years spent in work and play, do ordain and declare this, our last Will and Testament.

There's a quiet beauty and majesty That makes me think the best things are free. And deep down in my heart I know this is right, Especially when I look out my window at night. Nora LeHane AND WINTER IS HERE A gust of wind, A flurry of snow, That covers the land with a sparkling glow, A stinging, biting, wonderful blow! Whirling, dancing, lovely snow! Branches glazed with a crystal sheen, Frosty patterns, Blinding white. Stars that shine on a cold, still night- And winter is here! Gray and purple gloomy dawnings, Golden, silver, shining mornings, Slick, iced pavements, Icicles dripping, rythmically, rythmically, Early darkness, Long, cold darkness. Colors reflected on shimmering white, Shades of blue, the color of night. Goodby, sweet spring You've had your fling. And winter is here! Ann Faulkner WISHF UL THINKING Dinner is on the stove. I'm sitting in the living room in my favorite chair. I'm neither happy nor sad. The immediate after-effects of the tournament have worn off. I no longer feel mad enough to cry or anything like that, but I still can't help doing a lot of wishful thinking about the past day. I keep saying to myself: Why did they have to win? Why did that winning shot go in? l'll bet if he stood in the gym all day and tried to make another like it that he couldn't. What luck! Why didn't that last shot Vin took go in? Why this? Why that? Why? Why? Why? It's all so maddening I think 1 could scream, but of course I won't. I might shock someone. I guess l'll work on my sports scrapbook this afternoon. I'd better cut out the clip- pings from all the papers before they are thrown away. At least we've got a nice write up in the paper and a plaque just like Ellsworth's. Well-dinner is being put on the table, so I suppose I had better go and eat. Nora LeHane 33 ,f -.---7.-.-' fvgg r........ r,,.......

GIRLS, ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION Elaine Ferraresso--President Isabelle Baldwin--Vice-President Betty Marshall-Secretary janet Burnham--Treasurer Miss Anne Murray--Adviser Motto: Truth, honesty, and good fellowship The Girls' Athletic Association was again dedi- cated to promoting good sportsmanship, as well as to provide recreation for girls in the Senior High who are interested in sports. Because of the shortened school hours the girls have not been able to engage in as many activities as anticipated. However, they have obtained use of the gymnasium on Thursday afternoons. The girls lost one game to john Fitch High of Windsor which was played on February 14, 1949. The TATTLE board sponsored two G. A. A. teams in a benefit game with the J. V.'s vs. Hi-Y. Our appreciation is expressed to Miss Murray who has done a splendid job with such a large membership. . , lv K N, Q V na, X31 Jifjfz- A Graf!!

SOCCER Bl0Omf1CldlS 1948 soccer team wasn't what you would call a world beaterg nevertheless ,it had a fighting spirit, which made many of the games very close. When the team reported for the first practice, Coach Paterno found he had only five lettermen back from 1948 among the twenty candidates for the team. We opened our season with Sufiield, and after winning the game 2-1 we looked forward to a fairly good season. But, soon our hopes for a success were destroyed, as we lost our next six games in a row. During this time we scored but one goal, and this was against Glastonbury, who defeated us 3-1. The other teams that beat us during this losing streak were as follows: East Hampton 5-0, Portland 1-0 in a thriller, Ellsworth 2-0, Newington 1-0, a close one and Suffield revenged the defeat we gave them by beating us 1-0 in another close game. Then ar last things started to look up. On Octo- ber 19 we gained a tie with East Hampton 1-1 as Chris Webber sent home the goal for dear old B. H. S. Our next game of the season was the best we played the entire year, and we defeated a powerful Portland team 2-0 as jim Ventres and Armand Cal- deira drove home those oh, so important goals. Then the future class C champions, Glastonbury came to Bloomfield to defeat us 1-0 in a breath- taking game. We still had some fight left as we turned back Newington 2-0 near the end of the season. Our season had a disastrous finish. We traveled to our main rival's camp, Ellsworth High, with an injury-ridden team and took our worst beating of the season 5-O. The final record of the team was 3 wins, 8 losses, and 1 tie. Coach Paterno had no easy job training a practically new squad, however, we are sure he was grateful for Jimmy Ventres, Chris Webber, Bob Jorgensen and Roger Cowles who helped put life into the new squad. Next year's team should benefit well from their experience this year. The lettermen are: Roosevelt Holt, Russell Wil- liams, Captain Jimmy Ventres, jimmy Tyler, Chris Webber, Edward Hood, Bob Jorgensen, Henry Car- ron, Armand Caldeira, Roger Cowles, Garret john- son, Daniel Louro, Nathan Rome, Bobby Bligh, Managers Daniel Weeber and Robert Lachapelle. lst row-james Ventres, Robert Jorgensen-Co-captain, john Novak-Co-captain, Edward Gunder- sen, and Scott Rome. 2nd row-Frank Burnham--Manager, Robert Lachapelle-Manager, Peter Marshall, Armand Caldeira, Chris Webber, and Coach Paterno. BASKETBALL Bloomfield kept its winning ways this year by winning seventeen and losing but three in the regu- lar campaign. We took the Central Valley League title for the third straight year. We also won two games from our chief rival Ellsworth which is a feat in itself. The team had but one first stringer back-John Novak-as it went into the opening game of the season against Windsor Locks. We took this one with 45-28, after being behind I8-I6 at the half. Our next game with Berlin was a tough one but we finally won 44-29. The next game on the list was against Portland which we won 62-45 as john Novak set a scoring record of 45 points in a single game. Our next two victories were Canton 66-25 and New- ington 30-17. ln our next game we beat Ellsworth 49-37 which was one of the biggest treats of the season. Simsbury, our next opponents, beat us for the first time 57-32 in a real thriller. We then got back on the ball by winning the next nine games in a row. Glastonbury was the first new victim -ll-29. then came Suffield who we beat 70-4-ig next was East Hampton whom we took 66-50. We slid by Wfindsor Locks 51-26 and then repeated our victory over Berlin by beating them 55-35. We beat Port- land 60-44 in a game which never saw us ahead until the last quarter. In our next game we beat Ellsworth ww for the second time of the year 47-39. Then tragedy struck the team as our leading scorer, john Novak, fractured his ankle in the first few minutes of the Newington game. But the team continued to win 52-55. We then went on to beat Canton 49-27. After this we started feeling Johns absence as we lost again to Simsbury 44-35. Again we were hit by bad luck when .lim Ventres sprained his ankle and couldnt play for the rest of the season. XX'e got by Glastonbury 47-40, but Suf- field defeated us 40-55. Then fighting for the cham- pionship we took over East Hampton 44-40 in our last game of the regular season. We were then ready to enter the tournaments.

During the entire season we had lost but three games and won seventeen. That was a record any school would be proud of and justly so. We were spurred on by the fact that our team was undoubtedly strengthened by the return of Jimmy Ventres, an energetic guard, and John N-ovak, our well-known center. Jorgensen, Gunderson, and Rome were glad to see the old team together again in condition to play. As our first game started, John Novak sat on the bench. He was only to be used if necessary because his ankle was still a bit bothersome. The game pro- gressed with Bob Joyce in the center position until Old Saybrook went ahead for a four point lead. Coach Paterno then sent Big John into the game to the roar of one of the greatest ovations a tourna- ment crowd had ever put forth. The score quickly reversed, and we continued to hold the lead for the remainder of the game which we won 57-55. John was high scorer with twelve points. The second game found us confronted with Berlin, a team we had beaten twice earlier in the season by good margins. The team felt they were in good form, but realized that Berlin had improved steadily since they had played them last. They, there- fore expected a tussle and set out to play a good game. This game found John starting in the center position. Even though the boys played the best they could, with some excellent plays by Gunderson and Rome and guarding by Jorgensen and Ventres, the team as a whole did not seem to click. The score see-sawed back and forth, and in the last few seconds the Bloomfield rooters really became hopeful, but the game was lost by the small margin of 58-36. The boys on the team and the substitutes who all contributed much to the line sportsmanship shown throughout the year and at the tournament are to be congratulated and should be justly proud of their excellent record as the students at Bloomfield High School are of them.

GTRLS'SPORTS The last four years have proved themselves event- ful in the line of athletics for many of the girls at B. H. S. Attracting major participation among the competitive sports were basketball and baseball. Intra-mural and benefit games were highlighted throughout the past years. Under Miss Murray's excellent supervision the teams have been success- fully coached in field hockey, relatively new to B. H. S., basketball, with special interest on the SENIOR BASKETBALL TEAM Forwards: Nora LeHane Gert Farrell Elaine Ferraresso Guards: julia Wirsul Janet Burnham Rachel Powers shifting zone defenseg and baseball, a highly com- petitive and active game. Swimmnig, volleyball, soccer and ping-pong have also shown evidence of active interest. This grad- uating class has produced some fine athletes with exceptional spirit. On Wednesday, February 14, a line squad from Windsor High drubbed the Varsity Team by a 35-21 score. Elaine Ferraresso was high scorer with ten points.

CHEERLEADERS A spirited set of cheerleaders, of which the class of 49 can be proud, has unceasingly led the crowd with invigorating hnesse. Leading the handsome array were Co-captains Nora LeHane and Shirley St. Pierre, two peppy girls who combined their leader- ship to exhibit many line cheers. janet Burnham and Gert Farrell, the remainder of the Seniors, always will be remembered for their wholehearted partici- pation. Emily Machholz and Lois Pinney, two pert juniors, did excellent jobs during the basketball sea- son. Our tall and attractive center, Dot Prystula, was absent from the ranks of the squad the last part of the season due to illness. Smart royal blue gabardine uniforms with turtle necks and three-quarter length sleeves, trimmed with gold with matching satin lining under a gored skirt were selected by the Cheerleaders. A bold B adorned the front of the ensemble. These girls gave their best efforts. to help bring our outstanding team to many victories. Comprising the junior Varsity squad this year were Captain joan Plaza, Isabelle Baldwin, Cather- ine D'Addeo, Virginia jackson, and Marie Williams. These girls worked hard and deserve much credit for the hoe sportsmanship they exhibited. They chose blue velvet circular skirts and yellow blouses for their outfits.
