A...l.. f 'WY Glade Paaphecq Any common passer-by who had not read the papers for the past two months might wonder what the shouting and cheering was all about. The public was about to witness the most spectacular event in three years. Here it was, only 1975, and already the United States had developed the first sound- powered commercial ocean liner, the S. S. Tattler. Half of New York had turned out to see the launching first hand and suddenly above the din a calm, cool and collected young man spoke over the atom-powered loudspeaker. I craned my neck above the crowd and immediately recognized the handsome young announcer: ladies and gentlemen, may I have your attentim please? It was Keith Mullin, an old classmate of mine in'high school. When I turned around, there was another of my class- mates, Pio Froscio, successful politician, and author of the latest book, I-low to Disagree Eloquentlyf' With him was Janice Cooper, mother of four, world traveler, and editor-in- chief of her own little newspaper out on Long Island. She told me that alniost everyone in our class of Bloomfield High had something to do with the building of this ship. Before the day was over I was beginning to see her point. I boarded the gang plank, and there was Peter Powell, cap- tain of the ship. He remembered me and started taking me on a tour of the luxury liner. We went first to the engine room, amazingly small for the power needed to move the ship. Taking care of the engines was john Politis. He always was a good mechanic. From the engine room we went to the ultra-modern kitch- en, where the three chief dietitians, Alice Watkins, Virginia Goodell and Carol Boyington were talking with the famous home economist, Gayle Nielsen. She was giving them a new recipe for a super-economical apple pie that you could bake in ten minutes. I was just about to leave the kitchen when I bumped into Louis Weaver-hey and Ned Kiernan, head waiters of the Grande Salle A Manger, the very exclusive dining room on the upper deck where I was employed as organist to furnish dinner music. Upstairs they were continuing with the broadcast of the launching, and Helen Warren, fashion designer, was remark- ing on some of the famous persons on board who were wear- ing clothes that she designed. Dorothea Bowditch, child psychiatrist, was going to appear this evening in the lirst evening gown ever to be made of the new miracle fiber, Criscolene, developed by the brilliant young chemist, Wayne Cook. It is something that he and some other men cooked up with their chemistry sets in the cellar. Wayne says that it's quite easy to make with some Crisco, an egg beater, a good catalyst and an autoclave. Nancy Clough, who holds the world's speed typing record at 198 words per minute, will appear in a modern frock in- spired by the new concept in housing designed by architect Richard Gidman. Dick's houses are perfectly round, inside and out. Dick says that it makes the home very easy to take care of because there aren't any corners to dust. Ella Jordan, secretary to the captain, is going to appear in a cocktail dress of pink Brussels lace over satin, which has been imported by the wealthy importer and purveyor of for- eign goods, David Wolf. Then Keith, the announcer, broke in and I went below with Pete again, this time to the hos- pital. There I saw Ethel Boeck head nurse. I asked Ethel if she still had any cases of mal de mer, and she said that it had been decreased by two factors. Cynthia Rhodes, who had been doing a great deal of biological research had developed a new drug which practically eliminates sea-sickness. She also told me that Curt Willoughby, an engineer, had designed a new method of construction for ships, whereby they do not toss and roll when in stormy areas. Leaving the hospital, I decided that it must be time for the launching and christen- ing proper, so I went to the deck once more. After its christen- be V2 1:,1.g t- 4 lagmuw eta- .tqfvw gb: 'M V A I - ' 'mn' ' mn-. ing, accompanied by three brass bands, thousands cheering, and general confusion everywhere, the giant ship moved slow- ly and easily out to sea. I decided to go down to the Rue Des Boutiques, as the shopping area was called. On the various shop windows I noticed many old names. First was the beauty shop, managed jointly by Mr. Herbert fBeman.'J, and Mlles. Elaine QPagani!D and Joanne QVenora!J. I glanced at the exotic hair styles in the window and quickly went on my way. The next shop in view was the sport shop, managed by Peter Crombie and Jack Barnard, where anyone could buy equipment or sport clothes for 'lounging on Deck'l as the sign said. The Book Shop and magazine area was being managed by Lorraine Willis and Loretta Cummings. Lorraine told me that Suzanne Schreyer, who had changed her name to Suzette Shreer, was currently appearing in the theater on board in The Women. On the way back to my room I met Mary Skruta who was on the S. S. Tattler en route to Africa, to carry out her mis- sionary duties. I bid au revoir to Mary and went back to my room to change into my bathing suit. Up at the pool I met the Director of Athletics on Board, Bah Peterson. As usual, he had a book of hilarious stories to tell me, and I had to jump into the pool to stop from laughing. When I got to the surface, I recognized the face of Herb Neuhauser, who was busy teaching Joan Beehe and Sandra Sheridan, French interpreters, how to play shuflleboard. They just couldn't seem to learn. After swimming, I met Sal Santos, who is going to France to receive the Grand Prix trophy for the world's fastest speed record in a racing car powered by the new gas-turbine en- gine. Sal won the race in a brand new Williams sport model automobile, a product of the Wilcox-Williams Auto Division of Universal Motors. Bill Wilcox and Audley Williams are vice-presidents of the corporation. I thought I recognized the girl under the Glamour Maga- zine. It was Audrey Manke, the head of her own modeling school in France. She was presenting a new fashion show to- morrow night in the Gala Room, in cooperation with Bunny Warren. I remembered the names of two of the models that were going to be featured, Connie Stenner and Peg Machholz. As I left Audrey basking in the late afternoon sun, I per- ceived three more of my classmates hurrying down the hall toward me. Frances Simmons, Theresa Regier, and Irene Sla- mon, all Public Relations Experts for the Tattler lines. They informed me that there was going to be a party tonight for the graduates of Bloomfield High, 1955. I promised I'd be there, and hurried back to my room to get into my tux. As I walked into the dining room, Anne Cor- rette and Terryi' Doyle, scintillating young entertainers, were singing a trio.. erry was the only woman on earth who could sing in two voices at once. After dinner I went to the party, where Ian Metgzer, au- thor, who has been divorced three times gave readings from her hilarious best-seller, How to Keep Your Husband. After we had laughed ourselves sore, we settled down to an address by john Petersen, wealthy business magnate in the hardware Held. Then he introduced Barbara Stewart, artistic interior dec- orator, who did all the interiors on the ship. Finally we heard a short speech from Anna Miluae, who showed movies on Scotland. . About three in the morning, the patty began to die down, so I gathered up myself and trudged back to my stateroom. As I crawled into bed, I remembered all the good times our class had had: the Prom, Club Serenade, graduation, and to- night . . . Now then, I'm only being nostalgic and over- sentimental, I thought, and dropped off to sleep. . . . John Wadhams Class Prophet h l Gleu will . We, the class of 1955, being sound in mind and body, and realizing that we are about to depart from these hallowed walls of B.H.S., do here bequeath our most valued possession to those who will take our places. The chosen few will need to earn the goods of this world in order that they may publish their yearbook. It is in the hope that they will win the magazine drive that Joan Beebe leaves her organizational ability to the captain of next year's drive. Curt Willoughby leaves his financial genius and his talent for letting other people work for him to James Daly. Gayle N ielren gives her adding machine to Elaine Radin. Athletic events must continue even without us, so Louir Weaver-Bey offers his talent to Pat Flynn, Jack Barnard bestows his skill upon Sonny Caldeira and Mike Vig- none, and Robert Peterron gives his ability to get the ball down the court to jimmy Kidd. The cheerleaders leave their talent, too. Anne Corrette especially gives her pep to Ina Westdal. Barbara Stewart and Margaret Machholz leave their athletic ability to Bernadette Schaller, Philomena Vignone and Ellen Fazzino. Ella Jordan isn't on any team, but .she is glad to part with her unique ability to dash up three flights of stairs before the final bell. This skill goes to Elaine D'Aloia. Our publications must also continue on the same high level. The Salmon Sheet needs machine operators who can operate a machine, so John Peterren leaves all his free periods, patience and know-how to Louis Lupo. John Politir gives Raymond Carrasco his mechanical skill, in the hope that he will learn to run the mimeograph machine. Nancy Clough, Irene Slamon, Francer Simmonr, Therera Regier, and Anna Miluae be- queath their typing skill to Bonna Walbam, Betty Weaver, Pat Schadee, and Eleanor Bailey. Helen Warren leaves her artistic talent to all the promising young artists, but especially Beverly Barnard. Janice Cooper hopes that Louise Gowen will be able to use her writing skill. To Joan Sineti goes Sue Schreyer'r acting ability. The ability to get along with others is important everywhere, and although we want to take that talent with us, we are willing to leave a suggestion or two. Herbert Beman offers to give Bob Urban a few pointers on How to Get Along with the Girls, if Bob feels he needs any help. Dot Bowditch will tell Gale Atkinson the secret of her popularity, and Connie Stenner will tell Nancy Hill why she has so many friends, but here again I don't think it is really necessary. The quiet ones, Bill Wilcox, Lorraine Willir, Alice Watkinr, David Wolf and Ned Kiernan leave their quietness to Peter Bedard, Evelyn Chester, Doris Harger, Dean Hence, Beatrice Benavides, and Bob Ash- more. Sister to sister, Virginia Goodell gives her sweet smile to Barbara Goodell. We suppose that classes will go on as usual when we are gone, bug just so that no one will forget us, we leave all of our little classroom habits here.,'Audrey Manke be- stows her brilliance in mathematics upon Janet Beh. Peter Powell gives his sense of non- sense to Bob Beaudoin, if he wants it. Audley William: leaves his voice to Donald Boud- reau. Loretta Cumming: gives her shy smile to Cornelia Caudill. From Elaine Pagani, to Elaine Christ goes the ability to liven up a gym class. Joanne Venora'r explosive wit is left for the use of Annette Cirillo, if she thinks she can handle it. Herbert Neuhaurer gives his ability to speak French to Luther Creswell. Keith Mullin grants Richard Fen- ton a year's lease on his book of irritating remarks. Carol Boyington and Terry Doyle leave their ability to laugh hysterically to Mary Ann Giachello and Carol Mercier. John Wadhamr gives his clipboard and French accent to Betty Goetjen. Sandra Sheridan will be glad to give Wilma Hawkes her habit of dropping things, and Peter Crombie and Sal Santo: leave their problems books to Don Koch and James O'Meara. Pio Frorcio wants James Lynch to have his copy of Robert? Ruler of Order. To Dolores Santos goes Ethel Boeck'r gay laugh. Richard Gidman gives his easy-going manner to Harvey Sin- clair. Mary Skruta wants Ina Westdal to have her infectious laugh. Two of us have special bequests to make. Cynthia Rhodes leaves her chickens to Edith Guilmartin, and Wayne C ooke gives his slide rule to Smart York. 61, Johanna Metzger can leave you only my best wishes for the success of the class of 195 .

In our early years we don't realize 'what they are but as we continue on our journey they become more apparent. We soon discover that we must seek these opportunities and strive for success. When we launch our ship for the journey of life we have a desire to get out of life all that we can, giving back, whenever possible, something for those com- ing after us. We set a goal to strive for so that our effort will have purpose. To at- tain this goal we must make many ports of call, each one contributing its share of the essentials for the rest of the journey. In this 34th edition of the Tattler we are portraying for you, the reader, our high school days - one of the most important ports of call of our life cruise. Here we have gained much knowledge and experience by the course of studies provided for us by the school, by the many fine people we have met, and by the various activities in which we've been privileged to participate. Thus we have taken aboard the provisions so necessary for the use of the difficult journey that lies ahead. 3 'cud fbecficaiian As a token of appreciation we, the Class of 1955, wish to dedicate our yearbook to our Parents. In the years ro come may we never forget their sincere devot' ' ' ' ion, understanding, and guidance in all that we did. 4 0 pg?

Qanmadaada Mouege To the Clary of 1955 It gives me great pleasure to extend my congratu- lations and good wishes to you young people who have now completed this step in your educational career I urge you to appreciate the fact that, regard- less of whether or not you continue on to school, you remember that all life is a learning process. Re- gardless of your field of endeavor do not lose sight of the fact that each day can contribute to your knowledge and provide a sense of inner satisfaction and contentment. I wish that it had been possible for me to know better each individual member of the class, since I have been very favorably impressed by the capable and efficient manner and fine spirit which you have displayed in your school activities. I am sure that you will carry this same spirit into your adult life and will make a real contribution to your community and to our American way of life. CCommodore Rogeanj Captain - john S.

IDEAL SENIOR GIRL Poise, a smile, and a friendly greeting are fitting reminders of our ideal senior girl. Audrey has proved to all of us that it is possible to carry a number of responsiblities and, at the same time, keep up a good high-school record. She started this kind of record way back in grade nine, and each year since then she has given ample evidence that she means business when it comes to her education. Hers is a record of a job well done. Thanks, Audrey, for your fine example of leadership! IDEAL SENIOR BOY A fine Scout in a true sense of the word is Richard Gidman. Dick wasn't here very long before his class- mates recognized his worth and elected him to a po- sition of responsibility. It is his genuine smile? Is it his genial way with all of us? Is it his fine charac- ter? ls it a willing attitude? We think it's every one of these plus a lot more which makes us glad to name him as our ideal senior boy.

In this year of 1955 we are bringing our ship to port to embark upon separate journeys. Tales of this trip are recorded in the following log. FRESHMAN YEAR 1951-'52 - Fifty-eight eager freshmen, under the direction of Mrs. Lee Stohl and Merwin Tober, began four of the most memorable years of their lives in September of 1951. In October class elections were held. John Wad- hams was elected president, John Politis, vice-presi- dent, Audrey Manke, secretary, Ronald Kidd, treas- urer. Representing the freshmen as Student Council members were Jack Barnard and Gayle Nielsen who became president and vice president respectively of the junior high organization. The Patriots' Dance, our social highlight of the year, was held on February 16, 1952. Square dancing to the music of Tibbal's Old Timers made the eve- ning a success. By the end of the year we were well aware that Jack Barnard was to be an up-and-coming athlete. He had proven that on the soccer field and the base- ball diamond. SOPHOMORE YEAR 1952-'53 - At our Hrst meet- ing in September 1952 we elected the following of- ficers for our sophomore year: Jack Barnard became president, Muriel Taylor was elected vice-presidentg recording the minutes of our class meeting would be the job of Mary Skrutag Shirley Brandt would collect our dues. Anne Corrette took over the vice- presidency when Muriel moved. Sue Schreyer and Pio Froscio were our representatives on the Student Council for the year. Class advisors were Robert Clarke and Frank Silvestri. The Hi-Notes came to Bloomfield on March 7, 1953, to play at our Snow Ball. Our gym was decorated with blue and white streamers and colored balloons. Committees for the dance were as follows: decoration, Pete Powellg refreshments, Elaine Pagani and Joanne Venorag publicity, Anne Corrette and Dot Bowditchg entertainment, Jan Metzger and Peg Machholzg and tickets, Curt Willoughby. Pio Froscio and Jack Barnard played soccer this year. Adding Lou Weaver-bey and Herb Neuhauser to this twosome, we had four Junior Varsity basket- ball stars. Jack Barnard and Tony Brown played baseball. Donning cheerleading uniforms were Jan- ice Cooper, Audrey Manke, Dot Bowditch, and the captain of the J.V. cheering squad, Anne Corrette. The Sophomore ring committee consisted of Jack Barnard, Dot Bowditch, Anne Corrette, Patricia Cou- ture, Pio Froscio, Dick Gidman, Peg Machholz, Au- drey Manke, Jan Metzger, Gayle Nielsen, Connie Stenner, Barbara Stewart, John Wadhams and Curt Willoughby. Our taste in choosing rings proved sat- isfactory to the school, for shortly after our decision the ring was standardized. We regretted the loss of our wonderful Principal Mr. George R. Perry, who transferred his duties in December, 1952, to Bristol High School. However, we welcomed Mr. John S. Warren who was to guide us for our last two and one-half years. In June we realized that half of our high school voyage was a thing of the past, but we thought the best was yet to come. JUNIOR YEAR 1955-'54 - Junior class activities began shortly after school commenced in September, 1953. Dick Gidman was elected to the office of presi- dent. Holding the oflice of vice-president was Herb Bemang Janice Cooper was chosen secretary and Helen Warren, treasurer. Six Student Council mem- bers were elected. They were Tony Brown, Pio Fro- scio, Curt Willoughby, Mary Skruta, Sue Schreyer .and Dot Bowditch. Elected to serve on the assembly committee were John Wadhams, Bill Wilcox, Wayne Cooke, Elaine Pagani and Joanne Venora. Our class advisors for this year were Lucia DeDominicis and Mrs. Lelia Harper. How can we ever forget the magazine drive! Joan Beebe was co-captain. The Jolly Junior Jamboree which we sponsored was our payment for being the losing class. In order to raise money for our class a project was decided upon. Selling white sweatshirts with a blue Bloomfield emblem was the decision of a committee consisting of John Wadhams, Pat Merrill, Barbara Stewart, Theresa Regier, and Warren Levin. These sweatshirts caused such a sensation that we sold over 125 of them. In February, Janice Cooper, Audrey Manke, Jan Metzger, Gayle Nielsen, Peter Powell and John Wad- hams were inducted into the Bloomfield chapter of the National Honor Society for having met the re- quirements of character, scholarship, leadership and service.

The junior and senior boys' and girls' Glee Clubs, under the direction of Mrs. Marjorie Jolidon, pre- sented The I-I.M.S. Pinafore on May 14, 1954. Leading roles were taken by four juniors: John Wad- hams, Jan Metzger, Bob Peterson, and Pete Powell. Our gala event of the year was the Deep Purple Prom on May 22, 1954, at the Joseph P. Vincent School. Chairman of the dance was Audrey Manke, assisted by Dot Bowditch, co-chairman, John Wad- hams, decoration, Ethel Boeck, publicity, Sue Schreyer, refreshments, and Janice Cooper, tickets. Audrey Manke and Dick Gidman were crowned king and queen, and Sue Schreyer was the junior at- tendant in the court. Music was furnished by the Stardusters of Meriden. Over sixty couples attended, and the dance was a huge success. Later in the spring Janice Cooper and Gayle Niel- sen were chosen by the faculty to attend Laurel Girls' State and Curt Willoughby to attend Nutmeg Boys' State for the week of June 27 to July 5, 1954. Dele- gates were chosen on the basis of leadership, ability, friendliness, good sportsmanship, civic interest, co- operativeness and scholastic standing. Honors were also achieved in athletics. Jack Barn- ard, Louie Weaver-bey and Pete Powell played soc- cer, Louie, Jack, Tony Brown, Bob Peterson, .and Herb Neuhauser won varsity basketball letters, Dick Gidman, Dick Axelrod, and Wayne Cook played J.V. basketball, and Pete Powell was a manager. Tony, Louie and Jack played baseball. Cheering again were Janice, Audrey, and Dot, joined this year by Gayle Nielsen and Sue Schreyer. Singing at Baccalaureate and Commencement made us realize that before long we would be listen- ing to this music rather than singing it. Only one more sail on the sea of memories, but it would be one to be remembered forever. SENIOR YEAR 1954-'55 - We began our last year at B.H.S. by electing four outstanding students as our officers. Peter Powell was our choice for presi- dent, John Wadhams became vice-president, Joan Beebe was made secretary, and Curt Willoughby had the problem of getting everyone to pay his seven dollars class dues. Student Council members chosen were Pio Froscio, Wayne Cooke, Keith Mullin, Dick Gidman, Audrey Manke, Sue Schreyer, Mary Skruta, and Dot Bowditch. Our excellent class advisors were Mr. Allen Brown and Mr. Robert Mason. We really felt like seniors when we picked our class colors of purple and white, sequel to the suc- cess of our prom. The orchid was chosen as our class flower. Joan Beebe and Gayle Nielsen were chairman and co-chairman respectively of the Magazine Drive. Working together as a team we seniors made this drive worthwhile and won S510 due to our excellent salesmen. On October 19, 1954, we held our first dance as seniors - The Sadie Hawkins Dance. Will we ever forget Alice Watkins as Sadie or Pete Crombie as Hontest Abe on his tricycle? We danced to rec- ords and made a large profit, especially with Curt Willoughby as Marryin' Sam. Sue Schreyer was chairman of the decoration committee, Elaine Pa- gani, chairman of refreshments, Dot Bowditch, pro- gram chairman, Janice Cooper, ticket chairman, and Pio Froscio, chairman of restoration. The annual Club Serenade was held at the Vincent School on December 18, 1954. John Wadhams was chairman of the dance. Jan was in charge of enter- tainment, Dot Bowditch was refreshment chairman, co-chairmen of the publicity committee were Dick Gidman and Wayne Cooke, Helen Warren and Curt Willoughby were co-chairmen of the decoration com- mittee. Music was provided by the 5-Notes, and the highlight of the evening was the announcement of Terry Doyle as Miss Club Serenade. On March 4 and 5 we sponsored the annual class play, The Importance of Being Young by Tom Taggart. The cast included Janice Cooper, Dot Bow- ditch, Elaine Pagani, Audrey Manke, Ethel Boeck, Dick Gidman, Jan Metzger, John Wadhams, Bunny Warren, Peter Powell, David Wolf, Anne Corrette, Bill Wadhams, Jack Barnard, Keith Mullin, Sue Schreyer, and Sal Santos. Jackie Barnard became soccer captain for the sec- ond straight season, and Lou Weaver-Bey was cap- tain of the basketball team. Other Varsity sports stars were Pete Crombie, Bob Peterson, Herb Nehauser and Curt Willoughby. The Varsity cheering squad consisted of tive seniors: Janice Cooper, Anne Cor- rette, Audrey Manke, Gayle Nielsen and Dot Bow- ditch - Captain. June brought us memories that only seniors can hold - the banquet, class outing, Baccalaureate and last, but never the least, Graduation. Now, as we recall the four wonderful high school years recorded in our log, we shall always look upon them as having been a sail to success, which was a journey and not a destination.

Members of this class have made many outstanding contributions to school life this year. Among their achievements are fine performances on various athletic teams. In the classrooms they have been able to hold their own very well. As far as extra-curricular activities are concerned, the juniors are represented in almost every organization in the school. The Salmon Sheet, the Hi-Y Clubs, the Honor Society, the Science Club - these are only a few of the many groups in which members of the Junior class are active. Talent in this class is found among the musicians, athletes, writers, and artists - all working together in many class projects. Early in the fall the Juniors presented the Harlequin Platter Patty, which was a great success. In fact, this class started the fad of dancing to records. A more formal occasion, the Junior Prom, came on May 21. Under the leadership of Richard Fenton, class president, james Daly, vice- president, joan Sineti, secretary, and Elaine Christ, treasurer, the class has been raising funds to help defray the expenses of their senior year. We are confident that the Class of 1956 can take over as next year's school leaders. 35 Foreground: D. Attardo, M. Aronson, A. Powell, A. Iviagno In row: D. Heeber, A. Warring, J. Nargi, J.

Under the leadership of Anthony Magno, President for his second yearg Alvin Powell, Vice-Presidentg Diana Attardo, Secretary, and Marcia Aronson, Treasurer, the class has continued its fine spirit and sportsmanship worthy of Bloomfield High School. As was expected, it came through with flying colors in the magazine drive, making its quota and also 35150 for the treasury. When basketball, baseball and soccer are mentioned, the Sophs can't be left out by any means. It takes plenty of fight and drive to win those important ball games, and whether it's girls' or boys' sports, the Sophs are in there doing their part as usual. Our Sophomore Class is also well represented on the Honor Roll at the end of each marking period. After all, a class can't call itself really successful un- til it can honestly prove that it has versatility. Boy, they sure have it! Take a look back through the pages of the log and see how they faired with their annual dance. You can see that it was a great success. From what they have shown in the last two years one can be sure of nothi-f but smooth sailing for this fine Sophomore Class. 37 Foreground: Lois Radin, Lois Betters, Bruce Seger, joseph Cardosa. 111 row: C.

The youngest and largest class at B.H.S. adds much noise and confusion to our school days and if it weren't for them, we would all miss a great deal of fun. The Freshmen have already proved that they are going to be a big asset to Bloomfield's sport life. Playing on the varsity team this year were Bill Moreland and Larry Cuyler. Richard Benmoar and joseph Federico were with the junior varsity. These four boys should prove to be feeders in future years. Many of the Freshman girls seem to be taking a big interest in homemaking. Linda Bercowetz, Pat Bylenski, Helen Cwach, Kathleen Fenton, Susan Gardner, Pat Haigh, and Nancy Schwartz have all been active members of the Future Homemakers of America during this year. In the spring the Freshman class sponsored a sports dance headed by Jean Pinney and joseph Koenigsburg as co-chairmen. With Miss DeDominicis and Mr. Castle as class advisors the Freshmen have had quite a year. As the seniors leave, they want to wish the Class of 1958 three more success- ful years at B.H.S. 39 Foreground. Left to Right: L. Palmer, A. LeBritton, B. Seaton, F. Keating, E. Walsh, M.

A class full of vim and vigor, and always on the go will surely be an asset to the high school. The eighth grade shows great promise for future years, as it has represented hopeful young athletes, good students, and an abundance of school spirit. As you may have noticed, the eighth grade is always well represented at all the sports events! Very sports-minded themselves, the eighth grade boys have organized a bas- ketball team supervised by Mr. Nevers, Mr. Pinney, and Mr. Scapaletti. The team has played Granby and Simsbury. In a few years this class may be leading their school on to victory, on the field and on the basketball court. Showing early their ability to choose their oflicers wisely, the eighth grade elected the following slate of officers for this year: President, Fred Keating, vice- president, Linda Palmer, secretary, joel Henceg treasurer, Angela Basile. 41 Scene! an Boom!

Tattler was the meet- ings of the yearbook staff. At each meeting a great deal was accomplished, and as the journey's end drew near the book of memories began to take form. Al- though being on the staff involved much work and many deadlines to meet the members of the staff still had a lot of fun. How could any forget the scurry and excitement that filled the air when the pictures arrived from the studio! Everyone wanted to see just how he really looked! In this edition of the yearbook many changes have been made and many new features have been added. The Ideal Shipmate is one of the new main at- tractions. While on board ship the passengers often wondered who possessed ideal features so they took a poll. Another new feature is the baby pictures. What fun it is to look back and see how all the passengers looked in their in- fancy! In the future we will look at the pictures and get even more chuckles! In the supplementary section of the publication is the new addition, Class Gifts. The presenting of gifts to each Senior was such a hit at last year's ban- quet that the staff decided to include the poems that were read when the gifts were given in this year's Tattler To help defray the expenses of the publication a play was put on in March by the Senior Class. The auditorium of the Vincent School was filled to capacity on both nights of the production, The Importance of Being Young. All the passengers helped in some way to make the play a big success. Members of the staff also sold candy during the basketball games on deck. Throughout the year the staff members have used up a great deal of ener- gy in order to get the Tattler to press. Without Miss Hubbard's guidance and help we never could have managed. The staff will always remember the won- derful time they had working to get out the book that will bring back cherished memories of their high school journey. 50 mmm Q ii Feature Writerr Dick, joan, Dot, janice, john, Sue, jan, Audrey.

The Salmon Sheet staff is increasing to tremendous proportions and this has resulted in a new and better paper. Decks of the ship are ablaze with en- thusiastic readers looking up special news items which appear in each issue. The deleting of the cub section of the Salmon Sheet has proven very satisfactory, for now the staff has more time to work on the most important subjects. The art work is better than ever with our dependable and talented John Wadhams at its head. Fashions have been given a workout as Helen Warren, our Fashion Editor, nms around the deck of our ship observing the passengers and reporting her discoveries to the voyagers. Nancy Clough, our assistant editor, certainly had her work cut out for her in the difhcult task of getting all the dummies and stencils distributed among her staff of typists. With her cool and easy-going manner, the job has been done with efficiency. I don't know where we'd have been without our money man, Curt Wil- loughby, the business manager. With his head for money and business matters, the Salmon Sheet was well compiled with the help of busy advertisers of the town. Janice Cooper, our persistent editor, and her competent staff of industrious workers have a right to be extremely proud of their work for it has been well- liked by all its readers. None of this would have been at all possible if it weren't for that wonder- ful person - Mrs. Marjorie Smith, who with her understanding ways and her helpful manner have taken the crease out of the many problems which we thought could never be solved. Her guidance and aid through our difficulties have kept our heads above water at all times and helped us to figure out ways to overcome the difficulties of the day. We shall never forget all the the little details which went along with the publishing of our unforgettable school paper, the Salmon Sheet.

While electing class officers in the fall the seniors chose eight Student Council members, the juniors, sixg the sophomores, fourg and the freshmen, two. Besides these twenty members are the four class presidents. Soon after elections Mr. Mason, the advisor, makes out an agenda and the council sets to work for the year. One of the first matters of business is the election of ofhcers. This year Pio Froscio was president, Sue Schreyer, vice-presidentg Dot Bowditch, re- cording secretaryg Audrey Manke, corresponding secretaryg and Sonny Cal- deira, treasurer. Besides the five officers there are five members of the Cen- tral Valley Association of Student Councils. The three permanent members were Pio Froscio, Peter Powell and Mary Skruta. Two alternate members also attend each meeting. This association gives the council members an op- portunity to meet students from other schools and to discuss and solve each other's school problems. The annual magazine drive was again sponsored by the Student Council under the advisement of Mr. Mason. This year joan Beebe was captain, as- sisted by Gayle Nielsen. Total receipts were 34,208.5l, and the winning senior class received a 3510 prize. Two other activities of the Student Council are the running of. the sug- gestion box and the sponsoring of Student Day when the faculty positions are taken over by members of the student body. Student Council members are proud of the relationship that the council fosters between the faculty and students, and of the council to share in pro- moting the best interests of the school. This miniature government is cer- tainly an asset to Bloomfield High. 54 - The meeting will please come to order! A rap of the gavel, and the meeting of the Bloomfield High School Chapter of the National Honor So- ciety is in session. This group has been in existence since 1939, but has been affiliated with the National Honor Society for only five years. During the sixteen years that have passed since the first group was organized, there have been 139 members. This year there are fourteen, each of whom is a credit to Bloomfield High School. Although the Honor Society is not primarily a service group, service to the school and community is one of its aims. This year this group supervised a clothing drive for the Save the Children Federation, helped the town So- cial Worker on a special project in the community, and presented several programs to aid students in selecting the proper college. Our Chapter has also tried to promote scholarship in the school by recognizing honor stu- dents in various ways. In September of 1954 there were only six members in the active group. However, after midyear examinations, the induction service was held and eight new members were welcomed into the Chapter. The impressive, candle- lighting ceremony, which has become traditional for our school, was again used. Students were reminded of the four ideals of the society: character, scholarship, leadership, and service. Eligibility requirements were reviewed, and sophomores were made aware that they would be eligible at the end of the sophomore year. The Bloomfield High School Chapter of the National Honor Society is one of the several organizations which maintain high standards in the school. 55 Left to Right, seated: B. Weaver, A. Manke, G.

B ,lla-if To create, maintain, and extend throughout the school and community high standards of Christian character. This is the purpose of the Bloomfield Hi-Y, one of the most popular organizations at Bloomfield High School. The officers of the Hi-Y this year were: President, Audrey Mankeg Vice-president, Herb Bemang Recording Secretary, D. Bowditch, Corre- sponding Secretary, A. Corretteg Treasurer, R. Peterson. Everyone of us will long remember the colorful County Hi-Y induc- tions held at Manchester in October. The first project of the year was the selling of Christmas cards. Each member sold three boxes, and the club made a good sized profit. In December a pot-luck supper was served to members and their par- ents. This gave the adults a chance to see how the club operates. During basketball season a boys' team was organized, and for six weeks neighboring Hi-Y's played games at B.H.S. This gave the fellows not on the school team an opportunity to play. A Hi-Y Dance was held at Bloomfield during Christmas vacation spon- sored by the Hi-Y Council and Hi-Y's from Canton, Suffield and Bloomfield attended the affair. An attorney from Hartford spoke at a january meeting about cars, which interested us all. Alpha Hi-Y joined us that evening and refreshments were served. On February 8 a splash party was enjoyed by the Bloomfield and Alpha Hi-Y's at Avon Old Farmr. Having a small group this year gave us opportunities to meet at each other's homes. With the aid of Mr. Pearlmutter, our advisor, we had a prosperous year with loads of fun. In addition, each member of the Bloom- field Hi-Y should grow to become a better person in the years to come, not only socially, but spiritually, for having lived up to the standards of clean speech, clean sportsmanship, clean scholarship and clean living -- the club platform. Best of luck to future Bloomfield Hi-Y on board the S. S. Tattler. 56 Alfa ,lla-7f During the 1954-1955 school year the Alpha Hi-Y was very busy with its many projects and activities. Under the leadership of Richard Gidman, President, Curtis Willoughby, Vice-President, Helen Warren, Secretary, Peter Powell, Treasurer, Ethel Boeck, Chaplain, John Wadhams, Reporter, and Gayle Nielsen, Program Chairman, the club began its year with the County Hi-Y induction at Manchester. Our biggest project of the year was the Nativity Scene which was placed in front of the high school at Christmas for the second year. Many figures were added to those of the previous year. Other activities included bowling, an initiation night, a highly successful pot-luck supper held at the Vincent School, a splash party, speakers, and joint meetings with the Bloom- field Hi-Y. After a layoff for one year the Hi-Y's basketball team was re- vived. A league consisting of four teams, Alpha, Bloomfield, Sufheld, and Canton Hi-Y's played six games at Bloomfield High School. Although our team had a two and four record, a good time was had by everyone partici- pating. Jack Barnard was second highest scorer in the league with seventy- six points. Our advisor, Mr. Mason, had to give up his advisorship of the club after the half year, to the regret of the members. Beginning the second half of the year Mr. Newth took over as club advisor. Peter Powell, our treasurer, took part in a National Hi-Y Conference in Ohio during the last week of school in 1954. He brought back many in- teresting ideas which he passed on to the club members. Two of our members were elected to offices in the Hartford County Hi-Y Council: Peter Powell, President, and Richard Gidman, Reporter. Once again we sent representatives to Hi-Y Youth and Government and Curtis Willoughby was elected senator. 57 Seated, Left to Right: P. Powell, G. Nielsen, C. Willoughby, R. Gidman, H. Warren, E.

Harper, the Busi- ness Club once again has endeavored to familiarize its members with the business world. It has given the girls additional knowledge about every- thing from personality traits to proper dress on the job. Taking trips to sev- eral business firms gives them a broader outlook concerning their choice of a position after graduation. If they are planning on advanced education in a business college, the Business Club strives to acquaint them with various business schools in order to help them choose a college wisely. Early in the year the club visited the Blind School where they observed how the students read and write in Braille. They found it especially interest- ing to watch the blind children play. This experience left them with a deeper understanding and appreciation of their own sight. In the course of the year they have also taken trips to a business college, a comptometer school, and a local insurance company. However the Business Club has a social outlook also. The big event in October was the annual Sock Hop sponsored by this club. During the first meeting Mary Skruta was elected President, Philomena Vignone, Vice-President, Ella jordan, Secretary, Ellen Fazzino, Treasurer. At a later date Elaine Christ was elected to assume the responsibilities of Secretary. The executive committee, consisting of Ann Milvae, Virginia Goodell, Elaine Christ, and Bernadette Schaller have been a big asset to the club through such duties as drawing up the constitution and making proposals for trips. Through its many and various activities the Business Club has suc- ceeded in fulfilling the purpose for which it was organized. 58 tx ii -1 .ag fi-5 pn.:-I ., SCIENCE CLUB Left to Right, First Row Across: L.

This was probably due to the switching of coaches in the middle of the season. Coach Cirone did a great job, and the boys really worked for him. jack Barnard, Captain, broke the school record for the most goals in one game - five. He also was high scorer for the season with ten goals to his credit. Second highest for the season was Bob Beau- doin with two goals. There were seventeen lettermen this year plus the two managers.

B Our Varsity Basketball Team finished the season this year with a record of 5 wins and 15 losses. Al- though this isn't a very impressive showing, we must admit that the team played some great games, losing many by a very small margin as shown by the sta- tistics. As usual, in the midst of defeat the students at B.H.S. displayed their fine sportsmanship and sincere loyalty to their school. Captain Lou Weaver-Bey was high scorer for the season with 358 points to his credit. Bill Moreland was second with 167 hard-earned credits. Freshman Bill Moreland with his rebounding and Lou Weaver-Bey with his spectacular jump made quite a team near the end of the season, especially at the last game when we beat Bacon 88-46. Bloomfield should have high hopes for its team next year for only three members of the team are graduating. Those who will be back are Al Powell, Bill Moreland, Tony Magno, Richie Fenton, Pat Flynn, and Larry Cuy- ler. The team should also be good because ir will have two very capable men as co-captains - Pat Flynn and Richie Fenton. Here's hoping that next year's team ends up near the top of the league and maybe capturesa few tournament games. We wish you luck. 65 Coach, Captain, Managers JUNIOR VARSITY Left to Right: E.

The purpose of the club is to foster an inter- est in tennis at Bloomfield High School. Each spring with the aid of Mr. Brown, advisor, the Tennis Club sponsors a boys' singles tourna- ment and a girls' tournament. Winners of each tour- nament are awarded a trophy by the Tennis Club, and the winner of the boys' tournament gets his name inscribed on the Edward Otis Brown Memo- rial Trophy, donated by Mr. Brown in memory of his father, who was a fine athlete. The club has sponsored tennis tournaments since 1952, when the winners were Norman Keene and Barbara Eaton. ln 1953 Peter Ottowitz and Barbara johnson won the trophies, and in 1954 Peter Otto- witz won for a second time. Recently a committee selected for the girls' cham- pionship a beautiful trophy as a counterpart for the boys' memorial trophy. TENNIS CLUB Kneeling, Left to Right: L. Rowe, N. Beman, P.

The Varsity captain, Elaine Christ, was high scorer for the season. Elaine Christ, Phil Vignone, Peg Machholz, and Doris Harger, Varsity forwards, were able to master key plays which brought good results.
