The years We spend in high school are really a rehearsal of the great play which is our life. In this production there are many different types of characters: the comedian, the philosopher, the dreamer, the leading lady and the leading man. To help the actors find the part hest suited to them, we must have directors, or teachers. lt is the job of the directors to help create a feeling of harmony in the cast, a necessary requisite for the success of the final presentation. In this 33rd edition of Wllhe Tattler we are showing our readers some of the highlights of Act 1953-1954. ln- cluded in this act are many familiar scenes--sports, school activities, classes, musicals and social events. With tl1e experience and knowledge which we have gained through our rehearsal in high school we feel that we are ready to take our places in the drama of life. qQ3?Qd9QE?QEZ9Q3,'tE?Qi9f.

And I, Jackie Burrill, leave the Class of '54-'s best wishes in conquering next year's Comedy of Errors to you, Class of '55. JACQUELINE BURRILL Class Testator CLASS PROPHECY When I was fortyish and hardly fat at all, in fact, quite well-preserved, I grew weary of wandering through life in a myopic haze fthat means I couldn't see well, in fact, it means I could hardly see at alll. Deciding to get glasses, I went immediately and was outfitted for a pince-nez, which I tucked in my pocketbook, and then went home. Dropping into a chair, I took off my shoes fl wish low heels were in fashion, not that I don't bear up just as well as I used to, you understand, I just happen to like low heelsj. Anyway, I settled back, gazing about the room. Something bright, about three feet away, caught my eye - a vivid green square - green and square, on the . . . I felt around. . . bookcase. Ah! My class book! Adjusting my pince-nez, which was perfectly safe as no one was at home, I picked up the book and turned the pages lovingly, gazing upon my former classmates. There's Muriel! Dear Muriel! I thought fondly. You were always - why look at all those children about her! I didn't know she was even interested in anyone then. And even if she had been - oh, my! - I quickly turned the page. I came upon Ronnie Marinaccio who seemed to have pie splashed all over his face. I bent a little closerg my nose was now touching the page. Was that really Ron? Oh, sure! l looked from the glasses and looked again at the page. Suddenly light dawned. Muriel had achieved her ambition to become a teacher, and Ron always had been a comedian. My glasses simply enabled me to look ahead to see what had become of my friends. I turned the pages as fast as I could, anxious to learn more. Here is what-I found: Pat Gregaitis sitting behind a big desk in a modern-ofiice ordering handsome 2 young junior executives around. That's putting courses in business administration to good use! Famed for the design and construction of ultra-modern houses, Jon Anderson is now reknown as America's foremost architect. Janet Maxwell and Jackie Burrill, the Florence Nightingale's of the Class of '54, recently assisted Dr. I. M. Nuty in the first installation of sealed beam lights in man. No more fiashlights! Aren't they clever? Dwight Wall, world-famous columnist and commentator, recently announced that Pete Ottowitz has been awarded the T.I.V.H.T.D. award for his scientific con- tributions to agriculture. Angela Magno's face shone happily as she told me of her debut at the Metropolitan Opera. And, she asked if I had heard of the success Mary Lou Wahlstedtis musical talent had brought her. The bright neon signs of a huge theater drew my eye - Viseskis' Varieties they read. Cathee's biggest drawing card is the trio of Helen Kowalsky, Barbara Johnson, and Joan Kearney. Such comediennes. Their salaries, l'm told, are saved for summer vacations at the beach. Elly Sampson and Bruce Hale have combined their work experience and opened a car washing business. We clean 'em cleaner faster is their slogan. Vivid headlines blazed their way across the smiling face of Betty Williams. I wonder if the present administration will recover from her blistering editorial attacks. Jackie Walsh and Tom Daly, after twenty years of prospecting, finally struck it rich and are now considered the most eligible bachelors in the Upper Yukon. Go to 'em girls! Ann Hansling and Lois Hall are operating an exclusive ladies apparel shop, famed for its chic in New York. Judy Morgan and Terry Hood are two of their socially prominent clientele. Turning to Ruth Creswell,s picture I was greeted by a little boy who said his mother wasn't home and anyhow she was too busy cleaning house to buy anything from a pesty salesman. Goodbye! Brad Ames confidently predicts a clean sweep for his team if his boys put into use all that he's taught them. Uh-huh. Louisa Bailey greets dowdy women entering her beauty salon and bids them goodbye when they emerge, beautiful, after her three-hour beauty treatment. .The tune of a popular hit filled the air as I looked at Gene Archambault's picture. Future idol of the teens! Joanne Jacobs' top-flight secretarial ability has won her a job fposition, you'd call itl with the prosperous business tycoon, Shelden Radin. He manufactures lollypop sticks. Doris Smith and Janet Dellert recently completed a tour of France, at last realizing their life-long ambition. They enjoyed their high school French so much, l'm told, they felt they just hadn't lived till they'd gone. Howard Painter's best seller , How to Get Rich Without Working, has sold more than one million copies. Howdie's one person who practices what he preaches! The same sympathy and understanding which endeared Shirley Roane to her classmates in school has caused her to be named Mother of the Year . Annamae Fricke has certainly proved her mettle as a super-efficient business woman. Part of her millions have provided Bloomfield with a new high school - at last! Bring 'em Back Bolliger has just set out for the wilds of Africa. This time he intends to trap pink anteaters fto match his shirtj . Ooops'. There goes my pince-nez! Smashed completely! Now'll I'll never know what became of the others - teachers and underclassmen. Well, I'm a mite tired any- way. Not that l'm not just as spry as I used to be, mind you, but . . . JOYCE MERCIER Class Prophet 3 Thirty-seven seniors A Are saying Good-bye To their Alma Mater Bloomfield High. Four years have been spent ln the office and classes. Good luck and best wishes, You lads and you lasses. We'll always remember Our teams and our stars. Brad Ames and Howard Painter Were way above par. A good athlete And a peck of fun - We're speaking now Of Jon Anderson. Now here's to our Joyce, Whose ideas and schemes Have won her fame And our highest esteem. A ticket to Sweden Far across the sea On an ocean liner Is the dream of Janet D. To be a private secretary And earn lots of dough ' Is the aim of Ruth Creswell, Our wonderful steno. Did you hear that jingle? Sounds like money to me. Oh, Yes! There goes Shelden Much money has he. Look for fun And we guarantee That there you'll find Joan Kearney. When it comes to mischief You surely can't beat Bonnie and Gene, When those two boys meet. Judy Morgan Well known for her wit, When leaving the high school Will be missed quite a bit. CLASS BALLAD Cute and small Fits Lois Hall Who's so well liked By one and all. Now here's the plan - Three cheers for Ann Who does her best ln all she can. Everything done, And done just right, Has always been The motto of Dwight. Always relaxed, Quiet and calm, Are two good ways To describe Tom. The garages in Bloomfield Have welcomed with glee The broken down Cadillac That belongs to Betty. A salute to Marine Robert Pagani. His enemies are fewg His friends, there are many. Eleanor Sampson ls quite a tap dancer. Shels strong competition For Santa's Prancer. Hot rods aplenty - To many folks grief. Please, Jack and Fred, How ,bout some relief? Pete Ottowitz always Comes up with those jokes That aren't very funny But cheer up the folks. Louisa and Annamae A rc always together, Whatever the time, Whatever the weather. She's always in the office - Working that is, That busy, busy girl, Patsy Gregaitis. 4 Joanne and Jan M. Are very nice girls. They don't need a Toni For they've plenty of curls. If ever your car Is low on gas, See Muriel Keating For a Tydol pass. Another member Of the '54 Class Is little Miss Cathee A real smart lass. Barbara and Terry Are two busy gals When they check on Helen And all of her pals. A girl of few words In our class, you'll agree, Is that wonderful friend Whose name is Shirley. If you've got a secret, You can tell Angie Magno 'Cause she's true to her word And her friends, you know. A fireman loyal ls Mr. Bruce Hale. ln his future years He'll certainly not fail. Doris and Jackie Make a good team. When it comes to friends, They're on the beam. Of artists and writers We have said much. When it comes to musicians, Mary Lou has the touch. We'll always remember, We'll never forget Our teachers, the best friends We've ever met. Now in the closing Of this Masterpiece Please forget all you've read So We'll rest in peace.

You had lots of fun in those early days of your life, but not as much as you were going to have in your high school days. 1950 - FRESHMAN -- 1951 Your life had many firsts in it which has made it one of the most outstanding in Bloomfield High Sehool's history. For instance, you were the first and only class to attend three years of school in the afternoon sessions. That made your Freshman days pretty crowded, but you managed to accomplish a great deal in that year of four-hour school days. During the first meeting you had that year, you elected your class ofiicers. Judy Morgan had the honor of being your first President. Assisting her were Howard Painter, Vice-President, John Bitzer, Secretaryg and Brad Ames, Treasurer. On February 17, you held your first dance. What exciteinent and fun you had in preparing for the big day! Everyone in the class served on the committees to make your dance a success. One of tl1e highlights of that evening that will be remembered for a long time to come was the quartet made up of Howard Painter, John Bitzer, Brad Ames, and Frank Cuarino who sang f'Marshmallow World and Down by the Old Mill Streamn. ' Your first year of high school life was just a sampling of the life ahead of you for the next three years. 1951 - SOPHOMORE - 1952 Having returned to the normal full-length school day of six hours and occupying two buildings, Bloomfield High School seemed more like a school once more. Your first business in your Sophomore year, Class of '54-, was the election of your class officers. Under the advice of Mr. Brown and Mrs. Mickelson, you elected four very capable officers to guide you through the end of the first half of your school life. Doris Smith proved to be an able President and was aided by Vice-President Helen Kowalsky. Howard Painter was in charge of the class records and Lois Hall kept track of all your money. Your Student Council representatives for the year were Doris Smith, Peter Otto- witz, and Alice Morgan. The big event of your second year was the It dance on March 29, 1952. Do you remember the big surprise you gave everyone when the lt,' turned out to be two baby chickens? The first of many important decisions was made by you this year - choosing the class ring. A rectangular shaped ring with the school emblem in the center was chosen. Your ring was really a wise choice! Several honors were bestowed on some of your members. Betty Williams was chosen to tour the United Nations, and Muriel Keating and Dwight Wall had their writing recognized by a national organization. Congratulations! ,lust two years to go 'til graduation. You couldn't wait for the next year to come when you would become a Big Wheel in schoollife. 1952 - JUNIOR - 1953 Now you begin the last half of your high school days, Class of '54, and you feel quite important as you look down on the little kidsn. At the first meeting of your Junior year, you elected your third group of officers to lead you through an important year. Thomas Daly became President of your thirty-nine members. Vice-President Jacqueline Burrill, Secretary Ruth Creswell, and 30 Treasurer Barbara Johnson were Tomis very capable and dependable assistants. Helen lxowalsky, Janet Maxwell, Jon Anderson, and Brad Ames carried your ideas and suggestions into the Student Council. . The Mystic Balln, held on October 17, 1952 in the high school, was one of the social highlights of your days at BHS. Doris Smith was crowned queen over all the dancers. Music was furnished by the Sharons7,. Remember the Ghost Basketball game you sponsored on February 5, 1953? Everyone had lots of laughs watching the faculty triumph over the Lions' Club 16 to 12. Congratulations and good luck went to Muriel Keating, Catherine Viseskis, Betty Williams, Howard Painter, Shelden Radin, and Dwight Wall who became members of the National Honor Society. Your last big undertaking this year was the 'LStardust Promv held at the Vincent School. Al Montellais orchestra provided the music for that wonderful evening in May, 1953. Just two and a half months to go before you become the leaders of Bloomfield High School. Vifill that summer of 1953 ever pass? 1953 - SENIOR - 1954- At last you've reached the goal you dreamed of for the past twelve years - your Senior year in high school. You thought, as you began this last year, of what an easy and wonderful time you were going to have. You soon found out that this would not be entirely true: for your last year, Class of 754, was the busiest in your short life. First of all you elected the final group of ofiicers - Peter Ottowitz, President: Jon Anderson, Vice-President, Ann Hansling, Secretary, and Shelden Radin, Treas- urer. Student Council members were Joanne Jacobs, Helen Kowalsky, Janet Maxwell, Joyce Mercier, Brad Ames, Gene Archambault, Fred Bolliger, and Howard Painter. Your advisors, Miss Hubbard and Mr. Mason, certainly did a good job guiding you through one of the most important years of your life. Your very hard work on the magazine drive, Class of 1954, earned 3,5300 for the treasury. Wasn't that race against the other classes worth while? Your fine spirit and cooperation showed up in your victory. Remember the play you put on? 'tAlmost Summer - wasn't that the name? Brad Ames, Barbara Johnson, Dwight Wall, John Walsh, Joyce Mercier, Fred Bolliger, Doris Smith, Shelden Radin, Pat Cregaitis, and, Jacqueline Burrill had leading roles on the nights of November 20 and 21, 1953. Your next affair was 'LThe Re-Opening of Club Serenade at the Vincent School on December 19. 1953. This dance was one of the most successful in the BHS history. Lois Hall's being named 'iMiss Serenade of 1954 was one of the highlights of the evenmg. X The remainder of the year at Bloomfield High School, Class of '54, was a maze of tests. dances. parties, hard work, and loads of fun. Then, of course, the always- to-be-remembered banquet, the inspiring baccalaureate service, and finally graduation. What will the future hold in store for you, Class of '54f? Let's hope and pray your future will be happy, peaceful, and prosperous. Let's also hope that the four wonderful years at BHS will only have been the start of a most successful life in the years yet to come. Class Historian, DWIGHT T.

With only one more year of high school left, the Junior Class is beginning to prepare itself for the years to come. What will it be - college, military service, a start in the professional world? Under the guidance of Mrs. Harper and Miss DeDominicis, the Juniors have accomplished quite a hit and have made a good start toward a successful Senior year. One of the highlights of the year was the magazine drive. Being the losing class, the Juniors had to entertain the school at the jamboree. What talent! What promise! The Junior Prom was among the best social events of the year. Everyone who looked forward to having a wonderful time at the Prom certainly was not disappointed. Congratulations, Juniors! With officers like President, Richard Gidmang Vice-president, Herbert Bemang Secretary, Janice Cooper, and Treasurer, Helen Warren, how could the Juniors have anything but an outstanding year?

Smphumures Versatility - that's the keyword for the Sophomore class of Bloomfield High. Well-represented on the honor roll, active in ath- letics, and enthusiastic in supporting school affairs, this class has earned favor in our school for the many good qualities which may be found within it. Combining natural ability with hard work, the Sophs come out on top in everything they set out to do. Every BHS activity is well attended by the Sophs. We have become used to the fine performances they achieve in whatever they attempt. Th election of their class officers started them on their way this year with Louis Lupo, President, Bonna Walbam, Vice-president, Philomena Vignone, Secretary, and Richard Fenton, Treasurer, as- suring themselves of good leadership throughout the year. Coming through in their usual fashion, the Sophomore class dance was a big sucess. BHS expects big things of the Sophomores in their days as upperclassmen.

We're all aware of the Freshman, but we never let them know about it. If it weren't for the youngest and biggest class in Bloomfield Senior High, where would all the noise and excitement in school come from? That little hit of life they put into our school day makes going to school that much more fun. How could we help not noticing the Freshmen, when they gave the Seniors such a hard battle for first place in the magazine drive? It is the belief of many that the Freshman Class was largely responsi- ble for the huge success of the campaign. In its first year of high school life, the Freshman Class has ab- sorbed the spirit and enthusiasm that has been a trademark of B.H.S. for so long. It won't take long to find out that the Class of '57 will be one of the greatest.

Ghz Ufattler So it was all year long - a continuous line of meetings that accom- plished more each time. In compiling this true-to-life drama of life in Bloomfield High School the members of the Tattler staff had more fun land workl than they thought was possible. Several new features have been added to this edition of the yearbook. A supplementary section which includes the Senior Class Will, Prophecy and Ballad has been added in order to devote more space to school activi- ties and events. Pictures have been included in the ad sectionin order to attract more attention and interest to that part of the book. To help with part of the expenses of the publication, the Senior Class sponsored a play in the fall. Almost Summer drew good crowds on both nights of the production.

The Salman Qbeet Scene - Salmon Sheet Staff Meeting Cast - Salmon Sheet Staff and Mrs. Smith Plot - Every available seat is filled and the walls are lined on three sides with enthusiastic members of the Salmon Sheet 1953-54 staff. The hubbub is tremendous, until our editor, Betty Williams, calls for order and we em- bark upon the serious business of the day. Mrs. Smith, our advisor, remains in the back of the room, putting in a soothing word when opinions become violent and helping us with advice on whatever problem may arise. Qct 2 Changes were made on the Salmon Sheet this year, all of which seem to be working out quite well. An unusually large staff has enabled more people to contribute to the paper and the issues have been up to their usual high standard. A S510 prize will be awarded in I une to the artist who has done the most to improve the art work on the paper. The cub section is now independent from the rest of the paper, and with the exception of art work, is edited entirely by the junior high group, under their editor, Alice Warring. A major project this year was the book drive, designed to enlarge our school library and to afford us a wider variety of reading and reference materials. A goal of 200 books was set. Realizing the worth of the cam- paign, the student body responded enthusiastically making the drive a big success. Entering the Columbia Scholastic Press Association for a rating for the first time, the Salmon Sheet achieved a first place award. The current year has certainly been a busy and rewarding one for the entire staif. 40 rs' FEATURE AND CLASS WRITERS Seated: Joan, Janice, Dot, Doris, Dwight, and Muriel.

The formation of an athletic association for Bloomfield High is the topic of all this vigorous discussion. The aim is to set up an organization which will be running smoothly by the fall of 1954. Qtt 3 btuhznt Qinuntil This year's magazine drive, operating under different organization, more than doubled last year's quota and topped the figure set as this year's goal. B.H.S. students participated earnestly in the drive, which was warmly supported by the townspeople. A school handbook is one of the leading projects of the Student Council this year. Designed to give incoming Freshmen and new students of Bloom- field High information about the school in the most clear, concise manner possible. Successful publication entailed much hard work, but was con- sidered well worth the effort. Student day - on which students take over the school's administra- tion - a new design for B.H.S. book covers featuring our school mascot, the Warhawk, and a point system for activity key awards are the other Student Council activities. The Student Council allocated from the magazine drive fund S560 to the girls' basketball team, S5150 to the boys' basketball team, and S200 to Korea to aid in establishing a school for deprived children in that country. June, 1954, ends another successful year of Student Council dedication to the welfare of the student body at Bloomfield High. 42 Seated, Left to Right: M. Keating, P. Ottowitz, B. Williams, C.

Bloomfield High School Chapter of 1 'gf ' the National Honor Society, I will do 'QQ' all I can to .... create enthusiasm for Q scholarship, stimulate a desire to ren- - X f f der service, promote leadership and ' f X strenghten the character of my class- X mates. The Bloomfield High School Honor Society, now in its fifteenth year of existence and its fourth year of affiliation with the National Honor Society, is one of the most respected clubs in the school. In order to be considered for membership in the National Honor Society, a student must show exceptional examples of four very desirable and commendable characteristics - Character, Scholarship, Leadership, and Service. A scholastic rank of eighty-eight per cent or better for two consecu- tive semesters, with an eighty-five per cent average in all subjects, plus a conduct mark of C or above is required on the academic side of the Society. The Society devotes itself to the betterment of the school by helping its fellow students to develop the four character traits that each of its mem- bers possesses. In spreading its influence throughout the school and com- munity, the Bloomfield High School Chapter of the National Honor Society has grown into a very active organization. The impressive candlelight ceremony in February, during which the new members of the Society are initiated, once again reminded the school of the high standard and importance of the National Honor Society.

Is there any new business? Spaghetti supper. Roller skating. Let's have a service project. Everyone has an idea! Iuumfielh itat? Led by a fine slate of officers, John Walsh, Presidentg Terry Hood, Vice-President, Ruth Creswell, Secretary, Brad Ames, Treasurer, and Janet Maxwell, Chaplain, the Bloomfield Hi-Y got off to a line start with many new ideas for projects and outings. Some events at the start of the year included Initiation Night , football games, roller skating, and a spaghetti supper. At the spaghetti supper members listened to their guest speaker who talked about the Olym- pics. In December the group held a Christmas party at the high school with a reunion for all old members. One of the especially sucessful meetings of the year was a panel night when town oliicials and Hi-Yers discussed mutual problems. Later they went on a tour of a gun factory and had an outing at Audrey Manke's cottage on Lake Hayward. Some of the members planned to attend Camp Woodstock in the summer. Together with having fun, a good Hi-Y has service projects. For one of these, the Bloomfield Hi-Y sent ten dollars through Care to a family in Germany. Another one was a talent show put on for some underprivileged children in Warehouse Point. The purpose of a Hi-Y is to develop character and citizenship in all its members. All true members of Hi-Y make strong Americans. 44 x Seated, Left to Right: J. Anderson, M. Keating, S. Radin, H. Painter, D. Smith, J. Dellert, B. Williams, and D. Wall. Second Row: E. Boeck, J.

The purpose of the Hi-Y is to create, maintain, and extend high standards of Christian character throughout the school and community. What is the Hi-Y plat- form? The platform of the Hi-Y is clean speech, clean sportsmanship, clean scholarship, and clean living. Again this year the Alpha Hi-Y has been busy with monthly service projects along with fun. With Mr. Mason as advisor and Howard Painter as president, the Alpha Hi-Y made outstanding contributions to student life at Bloomfield High. Filling out the slate of oiiicers for the '53-'54 year were Vice-President, Shelden Rading Secretary, Doris Smith, Treasurer, Dwight Wall, Chaplain, Betty Williamsg Reporter, Muriel Keating, and Program Chairman, Janet Dellert. Everyone in the club benefited from the Hartford County Hi-Y induc- tion at Manchester where Reverend Parker Lansdale spoke. Potluck suppers, movies, scavenger hunts, splash parties, and skating parties were only a few of the ways of having fun and enjoying ourselves in the Alpha Hi-Y. As a service project, the club collected many toys around Christmas time and sent them to underprivileged children in Kentucky. The girls started an afghan which would go along with the toys. The erection of a Nativity Scene on the front lawn of the school was praised by all. The addition of new figures every year is expected to add more beauty to the scene. The club also collected several thousand pencils for Korean school children. The Youth and Government Program proved to be a valuable experience for those who attended. Our fun and experience in the Alpha Hi-Y will long be remembered by those of us who have learned to prolit by the ideals set by the club.

The next item on the agenda is the annual club trip. The executive J committee, consisting of Lois Hall, Janice Cooper, Anne Corrette, and Judy Morgan, make several proposals. One is that the trip be farther from the school, and that Boston be considered among the choices. Their salestalk has appeal as Boston is selected! Members of this club enjoy these kinds of trips, as well as those which acquaint them further with their Greater Hartford Community. Later in the year the club visited a local insurance company, and made a trip to a near-by junior college. Through activities such as these, the purpose for which the club was organized is being realized. OFFICERS Seated: Joanne - president, and Mary - vice-president.

There are not many subjects in which young people can have so much fun and still learn something. ln the band there are players of every stage of learning, some with experience and some just beginning. Mrs. Iolidon very unselfishly gives up her free time for individual instruction. Wonder of wonders, the band has finally reached part of its goal - twenty new uniforms! The generosity of many townspeople and the un- tiring efforts of the band members contributed to the realization of the s goal. During the month of January the band had a drive to get names for the community birthday calendar in order to complete payments. Demonstrating that it can be done, one band member succeeded in making the All-State Band for the second year in a row. Mary Lou Wahl- stedt really made a good showing for our band and played like a pro. Traveling under a heavy schedule, the band gave its first performance in uniform for the Tunxis Grange. Next, it played for the Christmas pro- grams at both grammar schools and joined the Glee Clubs in a Christmas assembly at the high school. The Community Carol Sing was highlighted by the appearance of the band. The Band Concert in April again proved successful. H.M.S. Pinafore , an operetta given by the Junior-Senior Boys' and Girls' Glee Club, was supported by the Band in May.

In our second game we played even harder against East Hampton and led 1-0 on Don Koch's boot in the third quarter. With 30 seconds remaining, East Hampton put in a lucky one, and we ended up in a 1-1 tie. In our 1 third and fourth games we managed to defeat Portland .M .Q and Ellsworth by a 2-0 score. We really hit our peak, but in the next game a determined East Hampton team man- aged to score a goal in the second quarter and beat us 1-0. Following that game Portland had revenge on our 2-0 win by beating us 4-2. We beat Hall JJV. 2-1 and then lost a very close game to Ellsworth 1-O. By this time the team was really asking for a win and we met league- leading Suffield with determination. We fought harder than any other game. In fact, we had the ball in their territory over three quarters of the game. We lost several scoring opportunities and finally settled for a 0-0 tie. Suffield was league champion. We finished the season with an over-all record of 3 wins, 4- losses, and 1 tie. Whose ball? Bloomfield or Suineld! 54 rf Goalie Kidd lets one get by!

This isn't a very outstanding record, but the sportsmanship of the team this year was never at a low. It only goes to prove that, win or lose, Bloomfield will show only the best kind of sports- manship. Starting off with a green club, it's pretty hard to work them into a fighting unit, but by the end of the season we were giving the best a run for their money.

J , ' U 1 5 N x GIRL 9 BA The first game against Farmington at Bloom- field, on January 6, 1954, was an exciting one even though we lost 42-33. The Junior Varsity lost 24--19. On January 20, 1954, the girls walked away with the game against Mount Saint Joseph, 66-25. Phil Vignone was high scorer with 26 points. The Junior Varsity won 23-9. The girls met Ellsworth, at Bloomfield High School on January 26, 1954, with a hard-fighting game.'The Varsity lost 50-32, but the Junior Varsity came through with a win, 23-14. Bloomfield played their old rival Simsbury, on January 29, 1954. Both games were very close and were also heart-breakers. The Varsity won 51-39, and the Junior Varsity lost 28-26. The girls played a return visit with Farmington on February 2, 1954-. We put up a good battle, but the Varsity lost 58-4-1, and the Junior Varsity lost 23-8. KETB LL OH to Ellsworth the girls traveled on January 26, 1954, to meet them once again. The Varsity lost 19-43, and the Junior Varsity lost 22-20. Still, there was plenty of fight left! Once ,again the girls played Simshury on Feb- ruary 9, 1954-, but this time the tables were turned and we lost 43-35. The game was very exciting, with Bloomfield leading most of the way. The Junior Varsity lost 30-15. The girls met Rockville as Rockville High School on February 12, 1954- with two hard-fighting teams, raring to go. We lost 28-19. The Junior Varsity lost 27-8. The Girl's Basketball Team of 1954 had a full schedule, playing many schools. With only one player back from last year, the girls did a wonderful job and had a great time. Losing only one player, the girls should have an unbeatable team for next year. JUNIOR VARSITY Kneeling, Left to Right: P. Irving, L. Brightman, M. Skruta, E. Fazzino, and L. Radin. Standing: L.
