Hatfield Branford High School Branford, Connecticut Dear Mr. Hatfield: We, the Senior Class of Branford High School, wish to extend our sincere thanks to you for your unending help and guidance through our four years of high school. You have been an important factor in shaping lives and careers. By your unselfish interest in the students of Branford High, you have left upon the senior class a deep impression of loyalty, good citizenship, and respect which will remain with us for the rest of our lives. In endeavoring to exemplify a rewarding, happy, and successful future, you must often have been discouraged and disappointed. For this we are sorry, but please do not think your untiring efforts were not appreciated and welcomed. Your position, we know, has often been more than any one man should handle! that of administrator, builder, advisor, guidance director and planner. You must know the true enjoyment of a job well done. We thank you for this lasting example. In appreciation for your devotion, energy, and sincere interest in the educa- tion of Branford's youth, we, the Senior Class of 195 9, wish to show our grati- tude by dedicating this edition of the MILESTONE, to you, Mr. Ernest S. Hatfield. THE SENIOR CLASS OF 1959 Yours truly, Susan Giordano, Editor ll.iilf..ff.LBJ -l 1. Ll g sm, Y PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE We, the class of 1959, have just completed four wonderful years at Branford High School and have had the privilege and distinction of being the first graduating class of this beautiful new school. We owe a great deal to the foresight of the people of Branford who have sacrificed to give us this building. How we looked forward to graduation, the culmina- tion of our long hours of study and preparation! Then, as the day approached, we became cognizant of its profound meaning. We will no longer be surrounded each day by all our many friends. What will the future hold? The thought of setting out alone on a new path causes us to feel quite insecure. Through the past four years we have been guided every step of the way by the sound advice of all our teachers who were ever so willing to listen to our most serious problems. I am sure if we carry as our shield the lessons we have been taught here and by our wonderful parents at home, we shall no longer be fearful, but shall carry on prepared to meet our most formidable foe. May the high esteem in which we hold our school always be reflected in the actions of the members of our class. EDWARD ERYER t X I 'infiilslfvl' til I ,.

For four seemingly long years his activities and interests are centered around this medium. The MILESTONE of 1959, tries to capture the tremendous spirit and energy of Branford High. It is almost impossible to expose all the moments which make high school years the most wonderful and re- membered. Proms, sports, study halls, plays, parties, exatns, assemblies. The thrilling moments and dis- appointing ones. The knowledge, friendship, and ma- turity formed in high school will have an important intrinsic value the rest of his life. In this edition, we have tried to portray both ele- ments of Old and New. Old being our Freshmen, Sophomore, and junior years in the present junior high school, and New our senior year here. We have found great pride in picturing our new school in session, and reminiscence in retrospect. I would like to thank all who have worked so hard to make this book possible. The interest, cooperation, and energy which was shown was overwhelming. To the faculty and advisors, I thank you, in the name of the MILESTONE staff, for making our education more complete. SUSAN B.

Senior Advisors in lounge ar new B.H,Sl Q, nt -Nl. ?7 I iq ual if V QW? 1--' A young person, today, is faced with many prob- lems and many opportunities. Each person has his own problems, sometimes to the point where he wonders what he ought to do in order to plan well for the life ahead. Opportunities are everywhere and they are develop- ing every day. We live in an age when population expands and the needs of people develop, when travel is speedy and communication instantaneous, and when science creates new wonders while industry seems to produce a limitless abundance. It is a great time for a young person to be alive if he can resolve his problems and develop his oppor- tunities. I urge you, therefore, to maintain your health, develop your standards, choose your friends, train your mind and look ahead. Those who are ready to lead constructive lives, serving their fellow man as well as themselves, can look forward to a wonderful life. DR. WILLIAM HALL JAMES, Superintendent None of us escapes limitations. Some people are gifted with their hands, some are gifted in art or music, and some people are gifted in the realm of abstract ideas. Almost no one is gifted in all three areas. We are all limited, and we must accept ourselves with our limitations, recognizing that we can do what others cannot, that we can contribute where others cannot. To accept ourselves with our limitations means that we can recognize how interesting and variable our lives can be. As long as we live, we have the privi- lege of growing. We can do and learn new skills, par- ticipate in new and interesting developments, make new friends, open new worlds, if we will use the initiative and refuse to stagnate. Learn how to accept yourselves-accept the truth that you are capable in some directions and limited in others, that genius is rare, that mediocrity is part of all, but each one can contribute skills to enrich his life. Life can afford you great pleasure by surmount- ing difliculties, passing from one step of the success to another, forming new wishes that seem gratifying. Confucious said: lt is better to light one small candle than to curse the darkness. ERNEST S. HATFIELD, Principal .- Q- X MR. GEORGE N.

The year started off with the election of our first class ofhcers. These were Danny Cosgrove, Mavis Burne, Martin Broekhuysen, Carole Tobin, Sally Murphy, Linda White, Susan Quinn and Herbert Stannard. For, remember, we were on double sessions and we needed all these officers. The football season was soon upon us, and we were proud to have Maggie Beatty as our new cheer- leader. Sally Murphy, Paula Holsenbeck and Grace Taylor were our high-stepping majorettes. Skip Sciarra did an outstanding job of representing our class in the annual Thanksgiving Day game despite the fact that we were beaten by the ever stinging Yellow- jackets. March 17, 1956 - Will we ever forget this night? Our dance, Shamrock Serenade, which was planned under the helpful and understanding guidance of our advisor, Miss Murphy, started off as a great success. Every one attending was having such a good time, when only two hours later, we were told to go home. Why? A BLIZZARD WAS HERE! We were disap- pointed but our spirits were raised when we learned that we had made money for our treasury. Honors were received by Carole Tobin and Ed- ward Fryer as they were named the Girl and Boy of the month by the Hornet and were also elected to Student Council. News Flashes - Dave Kaminsky and Herbie Stan- nard were the only boys in our class who joined the Glee Club! jack Cavallaro and Martin Broekhuysen were our Freshmen Service Squad captains, ably assisted by Nancy Milner, Nora Barclay, Carol Chase, Tom Mur- ray, Connie Gouin, and john Kennedy. In April, our Gym Exhibition was well represented by Maggie Beatty, Sue Quinn, Nora Barclay, Barbara Royka, Dave Kaminsky and Herbie Stannard. Our Freshman year had drawn to a close and we all looked forward to a busy and exciting summer. The summer passed rapidly, and once again, we were in the halls of B.H.S. To lead our class as officers were Mike Klimas, Carole Tobin, Paula Holsenbeck, Sue Quinn, Burke Asher and Steve Peterson. This was the year that our split class of yesteryear became one. This was an odiferous year where the smell of for- maldehyde in biology class all but made us ill. Some of the great biologists were john Kennedy, Parker Sund, Ann Lee Close and joan Pontecorvo. We noticed that Miss Bader's second period Biology Class had added something new - a fish aquarium - pur- chased by Linda White, Paul Anastasiou, ,loan Ponte- corvo and Herbie Stannard. Our Sophomore Dance - Fall Fantasy - was one A small portion of the Class of 1959 taken in 1955. to be remembered. The gymnasium really looked beautiful with the many colored leaves and pumpkins, and shadows from the streamers gave the right at- mosphere. The music was provided by The High- lighters. The proceeds added about one hundred dollars to our small but ever increasing treasury. Skip Sciarra and Wally Lusteg were already well conditioned in the football line-up and this year Parker Sund, john Kennedy, Richard Devlin, Burke Asher and Dom Tomasso joined our team as up-and- coming varsity material. Ellen Larson was selected as the new baton twirler and Nora Barclay as our pint- sized cheerleader. Once again we attempted to over- take East Haven, but, alas, they were again victorious, 6-0. With spirits undaunted, we looked forward to turning the tables the next year. Carole Tobin, Danny Cosgrove and Eddie Fryer represented our Sophomore Class on the Student Council. We were proud to hear that two members of our class, Ellen Larson and Tom Murray, were elected Hornet Boy and Girl of the month. ln May, a representative from Stokes' came to take orders for our class rings. Sue Giordano was elected chairman of the Ring Committee. This was the second year that we had standardized rings and our sizes ranged from jan Stapleford's small 4M to Skip Sci- arra's size 12. The Ivy League Look was the rage at this time. Black-watch plaids, button down collars, and desert boots were popular with the boys, while the girls wore shirt-waist dresses and crew-neck sweaters. Final exams came along sooner than expected and we ended our Sophomore year a little bit older, and we hoped, more mature! The day finally came when we joined the ranks of the upper classmen. Now we would have our chance to tower over those meek little Freshmen and Sopho- mores! 5 Who would be elected as class officers? This was a major topic of discussion. Before long, the follow- ing were elected: Danny Cosgrove, Presidentg Sue Quinn, Vice President, Carole Tobin, Secretary, Herbert Stannard, Treasurer, and Ellen Larson and Parker Sund as Social Chairmen. Item of interest -- What a surprise to know that showers had been added to our remodeled gym! Now, we were dismissed from gym class ready and refreshed for our next class. October 20 - those beautiful rings had arrived. Juniors were seen walking down the halls with out- stretched hands showing off their prized possessions. Before we realized it, Thanksgiving Day had arrived. We faithfully proceeded to Hammer Field at 8:30 A.M. to make sure we had good seats for the traditional Turkey Day game. During the half, the majorettes went through their marvelous, intricate routine assisted by the new baton twirlers, Kathy Makuck, Barbara Tott, Pris Ledbury and Mary Anne McKeon. We recognized the familiar face of Sue Quinn who had been added to our cheering squad. Need we say?? Yes, the Yellow-jackets did it again, but we went away saying, Wait until next year. November - Margaret Beatty was elected to Stu- dent Council and she and Danny Cosgrove were the Hornet's choice for Girl and Boy of the month. JoAnn Sciarini, Pat Johnson, Jean Zvonkovic, Linda White, Sue Benson, JoAnn Lammer and Regina Moleske were some of the Glee Club members who participated in the annual Christmas concert. March 28 - Our junior Play, Down to Earth, was presented with an all-star cast under the direc- tion of Miss Hazel Lorson. The stars were Tom Mur- ray, LindaWhite, jean Tombari and Diane Dzwon- koski. The play was such a success that the balcony was opened for the first time in several years and the fantastic sum of three hundred dollars was added to our budding treasury. Some of the beautiful usher- ettes were Margaret O'Brien, Betsy jones and Carol Sanieski. In May it was announced that Carole Tobin and Jean Tombari were selected for Laurel Girls' State with Barbara Tott as Alternate, and jack Cavallaro, Dan Cosgrove and Alfred Mahan for Nutmeg Boys' State. By far, the most important event on the social calendar was our junior Promenade held on june 6th. Many weeks' work went into the preparation of this special dance named, Moonlight Mist. The music was provided by George Kent and his orchestra at the Pine Orchard Country Club which was trans- formed into a summer garden with silhouettes, but- terflies, flowers, stars and a full moon. The highlight of the evening was Danny Cosgrove crowning our Queen, Sue Quinn, as she stood among her attend- ants, Mavis Burne and Sharon Brandt, with Mark Cosgrove as crown-bearer and Debbie Royka as flower girl. Sue wore a robe of royal red velvet and on her golden head, a beautiful rhinestone tiara. n corsages made of roses. We returned to school on Monday a bit tired but happy from that Wonderful weekend. Susan Giordano was elected Editor of the Mile- stone, with Barbara Tott as Business Manager and Danny Cosgrove as Advertising Manager. Another two weeks brought the start of exams and all too soon we were saying Au Revoir to the Class of 1958. The summer saw many of us working towards im- proving the condition of our bank accounts. Seen toiling in various business establishments in town were: Ginger Charlotte, Herbie Stannard, Barbara Pauk, Art Murphy and Dick Pyrdol. Then there were those who spent a backbreaking day at Branford Point and the surrounding beaches. Some of these poor unfortunates were Barbara Royka, Connie Gouin, Nora Barclay and Mary Anne McKeon. During the latter part of August the first football practice started. Team spirit was evident. Every boy was working hard, and having a fine time doing it. The future success of our team looked promising. September 15th - Due to a few unfinished de- tails, the opening of the new Branford High School was postponed. This delay, of course, brought many a protest from the students! Once the doors of our new school were officially opened we found the atmosphere quite different, but we were pleased to see the familiar faces of many of the teachers and to welcome a few new ones here and there. The decor of the rooms were bright and cheer- ful, with pastel colored blackboards to match each color scheme. It was hard for us to become adjusted to going to school for the entire day, with seven periods each fifty minutes long. How many of us that first week found ourselves in the wrong room or in the wrong part of the building? However, it didn't take us long to get into the swing of things and settle down to a normal pace. The wearing of this ring convinced us that we were now upperclassmen. ox CAV! . v' xl ,H y .Y X .

We watched with pride as Martin Broekhuysen became Editor of The Hornet, Parker Sund and Wally Lusteg, Co-Captains of the football team, Grace Tay- lor and Ellen Larson, Co-Captains of the Majorettes, Maggie Beatty, Captain of the Cheerleaders, Eddie Fryer, President of the Student Council and Captain of the basketball team, Parker Sund elected President of the National Honor Society, and Richard Devlin chosen as Captain of the baseball team. Our Senior year was off to a good start and we hoped it would be the most successful of all. In September the Milestone elected its staff: Co- Literary Editors, Ginger Charlotte and Carole Tobin, Co-Photography Editors, Val Rogers and Tom Mur- ray, Co-Art Editors, Judy Cirie and Parker Sund, Co- Sports Editors, Grace Taylor and Burke Asher. Other leaders of organizations were Carole Tobin, President of the Glee Club, jean Tombari, President of U. N. I. R., and Betsy jones, President of the Pep Club. A new method of electing class officers was in- troduced and we were honored to be the first class to use this system. After a week of signing numerous petitions, similar to those used by our Town Govern- ment, we did our actual voting behind closed cur- tains in a machine borrowed from the town. While awaiting our turn to vote, we all wondered who the first person to cast his vote would be. The curtains opened to reveal that it was Joyce Zdanowicz. We were pleased to find that Eddie Fryer was elected President, Sue Quinn, Vice President, Maggie Beatty, Corresponding Secretary, Sue Giordano, Recording Secretary, Herb Stannard, Treasurer, and Mavis Burne and Parker Sund, Social Chairmen. As Seniors we were privileged to visit the United Nations in October. There were so many of us who wanted to go that two trips were necessary. We ar- rived at the railroad station at 7:30 A.M. where we promptly boarded the train for New York City. After walking the seven blocks from Grand Central Station, we set foot upon United Nations' territory. Our tour of the various councils was interesting and enlight- ening. Tired but happy, we arrived home at 6:00 P.M. without losing one person. When the first issue of The Hornet came out in October, Sharon Brandt and jack Cavallaro were named the Girl and Boy of the Month. Our girls' first sports team, Hockey, started prac- tice with our Captain, Sue Benson, giving advice to help make it a winning team. Our beautiful tennis courts saw little action. A few brave souls including Pris Ledbury, Jan Stapleford and Glen Bruce at- tempted to make it a success, but to no avail. With November 27th finally here, we found our football team with a perfect record of eight wins. Now is the time! Can we do it? East Haven also has the same record. The experts predicted that this would be-a close game and only one picked Branford as his favorite. Although the game did not begin until 10: 30 A.M., we found that the seats in East Haven were filled to capacity by 9:50. A shout went up from the Branford fans when Jack Cirie made the first touch- down and the extra point was kicked by Tom Mur- ray. Score, 7-0 at the half. East Haven started the third quarter by making the second touchdown but failed in the attempt to kick the extra point. Score, 7-6. Branford tallied in the fourth quarter by making the final and deciding touchdown of the game. Final score, 13-6. The triumphant crowd swarmed onto the field to congratulate the victors. We were overjoyed to learn that we were not only the Housatonic League Champions, but also State Champions because we were the only undefeated club in the State. Happiness reigned supreme that day! This was proved when the girls almost invaded the boys' shower room. In addi- tion, Parker Sund and Skip Sciarra were named to the Register All-State Football Team. Banquets galore were given to the team by many of the organizations and citizens of Branford. The players had ample op- RA EAS fill Faithful spectators were overjoyed at victorious outcome because now Branford was the undefeated Class B football champions. portunity to put back the poundage they had lost during the season! The most important event took place on january 17th when, under the auspices of The Booster Club, the townspeople honored the team at a tremendous banquet held in the school cafeteria. At 8:00 P.M., in the auditorium, nearly one thou- sand people saw each member of the team receive a special red and white football jacket, the Seniors were awarded silver football charmsg and from the Cheerleaders and Majorettes, silver loving cups with their nicknames engraved thereon. Individuals who paid tribute to the team and its Coaches Cote and Farina were: Mr. Frank Kinney, Toastmaster, First Selectman, Dominic Bontatibusg Dr. James, Mr. Hat- field, Mr. Stuart Clancy of the Yale Coaching Staff, Mr. William Belanich, Vice President of the Con- necticut lnterscholastic Association of Coachesg Mr. William Knecht, former head coach at Branford High Schoolg Mr. jesse Dow, coach at New Haven Teach- ers' Collegeg and Mr. Frank Crisafi, coach at East Haven High School. Dancing ended this perfect evening which will be remembered forever as one of the biggest events in our Senior year. Our first basketball game in the new gym led us to a victory over Amity. We hoped this would be an omen for the rest of the season, but alack and alas, after a complete sell-out, the stinging Yellow-Jackets stung again. The curtain rose on our Senior Play, junior Miss under the direction of Mr. Armand Zimmermann of the Dramatic Association. A great deal of time and effort went into this production and the leading stars were glean Tombari, Connie Gouin, Guzzie Hovland, Sue Benson and Alan Church. The end of january found many of us engrossed in studying for Mid-Year Exams and hoping, with fingers crossed, that the teachers would be lenient. The last few months were spent preparing for graduation. We decided that our Class Colors would be Red and White and our Class Flower would be a variegated Carnation. The committees for commence- ment were elected and we all looked forward with great anticipation to that eventful night-Graduation. Rumor has it that in February a Senior Prom will be held in the school gymnasium, but as this section of the Year Book goes to print in january we are unable to include any of the details. EPILOGUE As we leave behind our Fairyland, and all its golden dreams, And as we step forth to meet the hard realities of life, And harsh experience teaches us Things are not what they seem, And as we are growing weary of the long continued strifeg Looking backward, reminiscent, may we hold these memories dear, Realizing they've prepared us for the path which we now tread, And may Branford's praises ever ring, more famous every year, Down the corridors of Time, until long after we are dead.

The pre-prom parties given by Grace Taylor, Sharon Brandt, and Susan Benson were the perfect beginning for an unforgettable evening. The ballroom of the Pine Orchard Club decorated with flowers and butterflies gave a springtime atmosphere. The music furnished by George Kent and his vocal- ist cast the right mood for the evening. The climax of this beautiful evening was the announcement of the Royal Court. Susan Quinn as our rapturous Queen with Mavis Burne and Sharon Brandt as her regal attendants. After the crowning of the Queen by our class presi- dent, Dan Cosgrove, we honored her and her attendants with the Grand March. Afterward, the buffet dinner given by the Emblem Club at the Phoenix marked the end of a perfect evening.

DEBATING CLUB Left to right: Mr. Adams and Mr. Carlow, advisorsg Alan Church, Ruth Deevey, Barbara Anderson, Judith Cirie, Leslie Clark, Martin Broekhuysen, Brad Warner, David Harrison. DEBATING The Branford High Debating Club began its first full year of existence last fall. Mr. Carlow and Mr. Adams are the c1ub's advisors and coaches during the present season. The national topic for high-school debate this season is: Resolved: That the United States adopt the essential features of the British system of education. In the fall the same question concerning the Russian system was used in practice debate. Sevqal of Branford's new debaters, in spite of an almost complete lack of experience, distinguished themselves in these early sessions. Soon after mid-year exams, freshmen and sophomores were invited to join debating, which so far included only upperclassmen. This was done to build up depth in the club and to give the underclassmen the early practice in matching wits and thinking on their feet that is so vital to good debating. Branford High Schools Debating Club, young but growing, is looking forward to greater proficiency and prestige in the coming seasons. MARTIN BROEKHUYSEN 71 i ,g I .

Wed like to write a little line To show what we'll miss most. Practices: Hard work, exercises, learning the cheers, Plus all the fun we've had through these years. Training Rules: Sure, they've been strict and we've complained a bit, But we must confess that they've kept us fit. Football games: The spirit, the color, the record we made, All Climaxed in that last game we played. Basketball games: Leading the crowd on the hardwood floor- Inspiring the team to rack up the score. Our Coach: Friendship, leadership, and esteem we've attained. These things from Miss Moessmang we've gratefully gains Being a cheerleader has meant a great deal, Though it's been hard work, it's true. With the joys we've had goes the sadness we feel In our parting words to you. MAGGIE, NORA, SUE, AND CAROI Left to right: Pat Monast, jill Boyd, Bobbie Lynch. Cin! PEP CLUB The Pep Club of Branford High School is composed of approxi- mately one hundred highly spirited girls. Under the leadership of Miss Moessmang, the Pep Club was organized two years ago to lead the crowd in cheers and songs, and to back up our teams at all times. Whether it is football, basketball or baseball, you'll always find these members cheering the boys on to victory!

There seems to lk a bigger interest, even though there is a lot of hard work involved. The marching band, under the direction of Mr. Rosselli, works hard on routines to perform before the public. Their ability is shown at each games half time, when, along with the major- ettes, they put on a demonstration of routine drills and songs.

After the football season, the concert band comes into existence. This band consists of most of the same people that are in the march- ing band. To put on a good concert also in- volves hard work and much practicing. A special member is our mascot Merton, the music-munching mouse, who keeps watch over the whole band and the music.

'MFT' gm was 1 HE IS GOD Does God really exist? There are some persons who would answer this question negatively. Most of us believe that God does exist, but do we believe completely and without question. At some time or other doubts may have arisen in our minds. But there is more than a blind faith in the belief in God. There is a more than ample amount of logic. If a man were walking along a deserted beach and happened to find a watch intact and working in the sand, he would not say, Look at this watch! Isn't it wonderful that the sand, the sea, and the water combined to make such a complicated instrument with such perfection! Such a conclusion would be ridiculous. Anyone would know that an instrument such as a watch could not be the mere result of chance. Somewhere the watch was made according to a definite design. So it is with our universe. Think of all the complicated yet regular wonders of this universe. Each planet revolves around the sun, never deviating from its course, always taking the same number of days to complete its journey. The sun itself-was it placed merely by chance to provide the heat and light necessary to life? Think about the seasons and their regular and incessant change. The mystery of snowflakes-why does every one have six sides or points? Think of the wonders of the workings of the human body. All these things could not have come into existence by a stroke of fate. This fabulous universe must have had an intricate design. With the conclusion that there was a design, must come the conclusion that there was a designer. If this complicated world in which we live had a design, which by nature must have been a supernatural one, it must have had a supernatural designer. A Why must this designer be supernatural? To answer this, we can first consider the watch designer. This man designed an instrument and determined the materials that he needed. Without materials his design would be worthless. He must obtain these materials from some available source, for he cannot create them. No man can. There are two laws of nature which state the following: 1. All substances are made out of matter. 2. Matter can neither be created nor destroyed. We can now see that, although man can change many things, he can create nothing. But where did the matter originate? It was not made by anything that we know. It could only have been created by a being more knowing and more powerful than nature- a supernatural being. It is clear now, that this world of ours had not only a designer, but a creator as well. At first there was nothing, but this supernatural being was able to create the matter in order to fulfill his beautiful design. This creator-designer is almighty and all-knowing. He will live for an eternity. He is God. BURKE ASHER AN IDEAL DAY It is July 9, 1961, the day of my twentieth birthday. I have looked forward to this day with great anticipation. Finally it has come. The sun is at its peak and there is a warm breeze from the ocean. All around me are sounds of laughter and excitement. But I am just relaxing on my beach blanket, soaking up the sun and enjoying the view around me. The atmosphere changes as the sun goes down. The people pick up their belongings and leave for the day. I am alone sitting at the edge of the beach. The waves refresh me as they roll up from the floor of the ocean. As I sit here, and with each wave pulling me further away from shore, I appreciate the beautiful surroundings of nature. I could not have had a better birthday gift than an ideal day at the beach. ELAINE DE RISO A DEDICATION Miss Trovato, since you wanted a poem, too- I hereby dedicate this to you. Chemistry is simply defined as a study of matter But this is rather- More difficult than it sounds. For one, it has a language all its own, Which has grown- In the course of many generations. To cite an example of this fate, We have the -ides, -ouses, -ics, and -ates. The -ides. Why is it CHLORIDE instead of DISH? The reason is scientists want to fish, For harder-sounding words. The -ates. Why PH OSPHATE instead of BOOK? They felt if they took BOOK, lt would look too easy. The -ics. Why SULFURIC instead of PAN? Because PAN sounds too simple for common man. The -ouses. Why TANNOUS instead of SHEEP? How could scientists sleep, Using a simple word as SHEEP! Then comes all the theories about gravity, atoms, the sea. What would Branford High do, Without the knowledge of dear chemistry!! CHEMISTRY - C is for the carefulness we have to have in lab. H is for the hectic, when a certain student's bad. E is for the effort, Cbut let's go on! D M is for the mouths that should be very shut. I is for intelligence, the way we go about. S is for the silly ways-we act like elves. T is for the test tubes, that always break by themselves. R is for the rest of the year, we are going to act all through and Y is for you, who puts up with all you do. JEAN TOMBARI DESTINATION Gleaming rails, rushing past my window Carrying me far, far from home. What is your hurry, why all the clatter, Is there some reason, why I should roam? Pondering, wondering, I soon find myself There at the station so dark and so damp, Walking along with the chattering people, Walking along on the thundering ramp. But even through this noisy clamor Rests a peace so strong and free, ' This is my city, I have come to conquer. This-my new home, my new home I now see. BARBARA ANDERSON Note : This poem may be paralleled with life. The train ride represents education in school, the station--its termination, and the city-the world. D'VERDAD? It had been a beautiful day and now at sunset I decided to take a walk before dinner. Walking out on my patio I breathed in the cool, refreshing, salt air. The sapphire sea below, looking so calm made me wish I could sail far out into the calm, rose horizon beyond. As I walked down the path which led to the beach I heard the waves murmuring against the rocks. Reaching the beach, I stopped for a moment and gazed as far as I could see. There was nothing but the glowing sunset, the sea, the white sands, and the tropical setting. I glanced up at my villa at the top of the cliff. Successful? Was I? The beauty of nature makes everything else seem inferior and unimportant especially when at this moment, it gives you a freedom of soul and mind and the peace that comes from it. Kicking off my sandals, I ran down to the beach with the soft sand under me. Now and then a wave would glide over my feet, and recede only to return. Suddenly, I stopped and gazed straight ahead. There, standing on the beach was a man. Not just an ordinary man, but a man with an Atlas-like physique with bronzed colored skin. He wore no shoes but had on a pair of white trousers rolled up? Who is he? How did he get here? Could he be a prowler, a smuggler perhaps? Oh! He's getting away. Stop, I shouted. Who are you? I dashed madly down the beach. Could he be an early arriver for my weekend party? An uninvited guest or one of those friends of a friend? just then he waved, turned and walked toward the sea. All of a sudden the sun slipped behind the horizon and I could see no one. Is this real? I thought I was seeing things. I walked to the place where I saw him stand and saw two footprints. A wave glided over the spot where I stood and washed away all traces of the prints. Suddenly, I looked down at my feet and stared, rubbed my eyes and stared again. There in the sand were my sandals. JUDITH cum! WHOSO WOULD BE A MAN MUST BE A NON-CONFORMISTY' Whose would be a man must be a non-conformist. In this age of phonies it is rare that we find a true man. We find men who live in modern homes and who work in the city. They usually have two or three children and one or two cars. These men do nothing more than work and support their families. They do no creative workg they are conformists. How often will we find a man who says what he thinks, instead of what he is supposed to think? It seems that we are afraid to give our opinions if they disagree with the opinions of others. Time and time again we are given the opinions of others through radio, television, newspaper and other media of communication. How often do we make up our own minds? To me it seems only reasonable that a true man is one who does what he wants to do, says what he wants to say and thinks what he wants to think. Not very many men fill that qualification. Often we find men with long beards or other assorted hairy growths who take it upon themselves to show us the way to true happiness by playing jazz or smoking opium. Truly these men are non-conformists. But are they true men? They are not accomplishing anything. I would expand the statement to say that Whose would be a man must be a non-conformist with a purpose in life. True men need not be rich, tall, short, or poor. There are all sorts of true men who serve their community by giving their help when and where it is needed. Most of us would rather let George do it. We are conformists. It seems to me that we all con- form to the idea of wanting security. A true man doesn't need security. He will be taken care of wherever he goes. 104 JACK GRIFFIN PEACE OF THE RIVER Peace I ask of thee, O River, Peace, peace, peace, When I learn to live serenely Cares will cease. From the hills I gather courage, Visions of the day to be, Strength to lead, and faith to follow, All are given unto me. Peace I ask of thee, O River, Peace, peace, peace. GLENDORA GOSLING When the sun, his course has finished, Shadows creep, When the troubled world is silent, Wrapped in sleep, Give me, then, Thy peace and comfort, Guide me with Thy mighty hand. Lift my wearied mind and body, Help me by myself to stand. Peace I ask of thee, O River, Peace, peace, peace. When my life on earth is ended, May I be, Evermore by Thee attended, Safe and free. Free from tempest, free from worry, Free from all this earthly strife. Then to find eternal glory, Then to have eternal life. Peace I ask of thee, O River, Peace, peace, peace. LINDA WHITE THE EDGE OF THE SEA An endless expanse of glistening sand stretching as far as the eye can see, A rocky point, a jut of land-this is the shore, the edge of the sea. Protective clay cliffs o'er-looking the shore serve as forbidding fortress 'gainst sea, Seemingly steadfast, staunch, and stern, retreating and yielding in reality. The rolling, roaring, billowing breakers, seething, surging, swelling surf, Scraping, scouring, erasing the sand in the endless battle between sea and earth. Lonely, deserted, changing forever, peaceful or violent as its whim may be, Sand and surf mingled together-this is the shore, the edge of the sea. NORA BARCLAY I 05 ON WORDS What is it about words, mere words, that makes them so fascinating? Words for me are not printed impressions on a page, they are vital, for an eager mind to take in and preserve until it finds its place in the individual's conversational literary discourse. Neglect of words is nothing short of a crime. Since each word in the language is endowed with a particular connotation, anyone choosing his words indiscriminately contributes to the destruction of organized expres- sion. If it occurs too often that one word is used where another belongs, one of them will inevitably go out of existence. This is legitimate as the result of the creation of a new word which is in some way superior to its antecedent. But to take interchangeably two words with distinct, well-established meanings is unforgivable. True, language is devel- oped through this very process of corrupted usage. People have come to tolerate what should be the intolerable vagueness which exists during that period when a word is losing one meaning and gaining another. And when a word is dying, the process cannot be accelerated. The sufferer must linger on in confusion for a seemingly interminable time before extinction. I treat words with respect because I believe that, although mortal, they are con- siderably less so than we. When I and the rest of this generation have perished, the words we used will have their place in the thoughts of a hundred million other people. The knowledge that they will outlive us inspires faith in their influence. A series like Hay, flail, flaunt, flour, once seen, is unforgettable. Coming upon messianic or apocalyptic, I can't be satisfied until I have mastered their meanings. The subtle nuances of meticulous, punctilious, scrupulous, and conscientious, are vital for the true student of words. Yet the uninitiated do not even substitute the rela- tively similar punctilious for meticulous, but vault this and scruplous too, to reach the relatively distant conscientious This situation has its counterpart in music, the black key on a piano strikes only one of the nine gradations between the adjacent white keys, yet few people know that the others even exist. Those who do, can hardly distinguish between them, and a few who are unfamiliar with tones even mistake the tone of a white key for that of another two whole notes away! The author of A picture is worth a thousand words could have said A word is worth a thousand pictures, for the right words can be just that. And of the millions who delight in that expression, too many never know the potential of words. They are ones who use an overworked two-tenths of a percent of their garrulity. Paradoxically, the limited vocabularies of so many people do not include, besides the basic necessities, the power words of our vernacular. These are the terms which, singly, have the capacity to express thoughts usually couched in long, weak phrases. Even a limited number of these particular words can accomplish much more than the average person's phraseology. The paradox is that they are usually found only in the writing and speaking of the erudite thinker who has many thousands more at his command. This brings to light the greatest requisite for expert expression-the ability to choose from a great variety of words the ones which will convey exactly the intended meaning. The larger the individual's vocabulary, the more he must exercise this. Fortunately, this ability is developed naturally as part of the progress of increasing vocabulary. Where words are concerned, I have a rather unusual ambition. I would enjoy, as others do, recognition for a book, a poem, an expression, or even a common pun. But I would rather coin a mere word, a single small set of letters, fling it into the turgid current of human utterance, and see it emerge unsoiled a few months or a few years downstream, perhaps to be inundated many times again before it rises by intrinsic power out of watery oblivion to be used by people of expression. I would sooner accept the anonymity accompanying this deed than the esteem of half a million best seller readers. MARTIN BROEKHUYSEN 106 X 54.

Tom -You're from when? Jean -The class of '59 at B.H.S. Could you direct us to some- one who could give us some information on that class? Tom-As a matter of fact, I could. By the way, my name is Mr. Murray. Maybe you remember my grandfather. He graduated with you in '59. Betsy - Oh, yes. Whatever became of Tom? Tom-He ended up coaching at Branford High. He often said that he never coached a team like the football team that went undefeated in his Senior year. The town still talks about that team. What are those things? Old newspapers? -Yes, maybe you can get some information from them. Try from the year 1975 on. That was a good vintage year. Here, take a few. Oh, look. Eddie Fryer's picture is on the front page. Jean - Tom Jean- He's taken over the part of Maverick on T.V. - Here's a human interest article about Dom Tomasso. In l970 he dropped a wristwatch overboard while he was making his famous trip over Niagara Falls in a ten-gallon hat furnished by a local sports writer. Yesterday as he was cutting open a fish for dinner, Dom felt his knife strike something hard . . . it was his thumb.

When asked how he acquired his wealth, he replied, Selling shoe strings. jean - There are some strings attached there. Tom- Van McClees, famed Olympic runner disclosed how he acquired his speed afoot. lt seems that he worked for a man who liked rabbit stew. Van's job was to run after and catch the rabbits alive. Diane-Oh, l've heard that same story a million times. Tom- Yeah, but his employer was so fussy that he made Van run alongside the rabbits feeding them so that they'd gain plenty of weight. jean-Listen to this. Well-known horse trainers, Gwen Hines and Pat johnson, won a bet on The White Whale, a 10,000 to 1 shot in the Ups and Downs Steeple Chase in London.

A light blue jet plane with the license num- ber I-M-2 is blocking the entrance of the student parking lot. Will the owner please remove it immediately.

Jean - Austin Colburn and Joe Struzinski manufacture and sell elbow grease. They always were hard workers in our class!

Betsy- Hey, look at those styles. Diane- Son muy Bonitas! Jean - fro Tomy That's Spanish. Tom - I know. Betsy - Those models' faces look familiar. Diane-They should . . . they're Carol Covert and Margaret The Waistline Morton. Jean -The Cirie-Giordano Fashion Agency designed them . . . the clothes that is. Their fashions can aslo be seen in other leading magazines: Seventeen, True, Mad. Tom - Did you know that Elsie Parri was the editor of Vogue Magazine until she retired to devote full time to writing the Dear Phoebe column in the New Haven Harold. By the way, that's spelled H-A-R-O-L-D. Jean - Huh? Tom-That's right. The New Haven Register was taken over by Harold Stadlnik, and he changed its name to his own. Betsy - Pretty cool! Tom - Now how about the sports page? Diane - lust like his grandfather. jean - Here's the sports section. Sports columnist, Henry Rap- priano says that Burke Asher, Player-manager-owner of the Los Angeles Dodgers is planning to bring his team to Brooklyn.

Tom - I'll be back in a few minutes. fleaves stage! Diane-He's a nice sort of fellow, but I'm surprised that he wasn't frightened when he heard that we were from another age.
