Perry, for many years a teacher and head of the Science Depart- ment in Bridgeport High -School. came as a distinct shock to his many friends. It is hard to realize that one so active for the weltare of the school is gone. A host of young people now in active business or professional work have passed through his classes and have felt the inspiration of his teaching. He was confined to no textbook, for he realized that he was teaching young people the great lessons of life. Throughout the state, he counted many close friends. and his counsel was sought in all meetings of school men, where his genial wit and sound judgment will be long remembered. He was a teacher of the old school-the school of discipline, of drill and of real training, as opposed to supertieiality-yet keenly awake to new developments and new theories. He was a man who understood young people, charitable of weakness. yet strong in his hatred of bluff and sham-a friendly man with deep conviction, yet without prejudiceaa man who loved his home. He was a fighter for truth and right, yet considerate of the rights of others. Mr. Perry was a man of broad interests. appreciative of some of the tinest things in life. For several years he studied music under the best masters and always listened with keen enjoyment to the best in classical music. He was appreciative of all life: bird and beast and flower. He gloried over a hillside of wild laurel: he sought out the early moccasin Hower. How many times our office has been redolent with the fragrance of violets, lilacs, and wild Flowers from his farm. Sensitive and sometimes hurt by careless remark s. he was true to the best in manhood. The school and each one ot us has lost a real friend. JAM ES C.

I think of Raphael's grand-seigneurial airg Of Shelley and Keats, with laurels fresh and fair Shining unwithered on each sacred headg H 4, 1928 And soldier boys who snatched death's starry prize, XYith sweet life radiant in their fearless eyes, The dreams of love upon their beardless lips, Bartering dull age for immortality, Their memories hold in death's unyielding fee The youth that thrilled them to the finger-tips.

He was on the Art staff of the Criterion, took a lead in the Operetta. and was editor of the Pen. Thomas McCarthy likes dramatics and debating a lot. He was President of the Players Club, President of the Debating Club of 1927, and chairman of Class Committees. Natalie Marsh certainly has a lot to do as the President of the G. S. l.., not to mention that she was in charge of all the Class 7 activities. Vivian Martin has been doing a lot of Alumni work. She was Alumni Editor of the Criterion, and helped on the Committee for the Alumni reunion party. janet Phelps has been somewhat responsible for the success of the H. S. I..-G. S. l.. dances.

We like the part about the good influence. Joseph Esposito-One of our bright pupils. He is on the Class Six committee .and also the news editor of the Hi-weekly Criterion. That is a job which certainly ought to keep him busy. Alma Fones has for her criminal record tholloxving: Class Six representative, associate editor of the Commencement Criterion, news editor of thelii-weekly Criterion and Class Six committee. Margaret Graveson-Vice-president of Class Six, assistant room leader, chairman of Class Six committee, and vice-president of Geography Club. XYe always wondered if vice- president meant wicked president. Margaret seems to have a lot of them too. Alfred Jennings was also a member of the following: Class Six representative, associate Class Seven Editor of the Commencement Criterion, member of the Christmas Assembly Committee, and is now president. Ruth Kearns, the baby of the G. S. L. board, has been on the class committee, as well as some others. She is chairman of eight grade day and vice-president and director of civic ac- tivities of the G. S. L. Lucy Ryan got her award for being on the properties committee of the operetta, Class Six committee, Qwhat another?j Christmas assembly, and program committee of the Play- ers' Club. Carl Schroeder is down as Class Six representative. Do you suppose that means that all Class Six is exactly like him? Louise XYheeler is on the business board of the Hi-weekly Criterion.

'- gage sixty-four W THE CRITERION June, 1928 Rimiliail Bay On December 4, 1927, the annual Pig-Tail Day celebration took place in Bridgeport High. Throughout the entire day much fun and laughter was created among the students, especially those in the lower classes, by the sight and appearance of the seniors, garbed in little folks' clothing. The senior girls, their dignity set aside for a day, blossomed forth in the dresses of their childhood, with gaudy-colored silk ribbons tied in their hair and appro- priately watching their costumes. A little doll or teddy bear, tightly grasped under one arm, completed the picture. The boys, too, shone forth in all their glory. For once they could come to school with hair uncombed, and faces unwashed, and could wear Buster Brown collars and large bow ties. Among the youths toys were conspicuous by their absence, although one bright lad nearly created a riot by riding through the corridors on a briliant red scooter. In some senior class rooms amusing programs were given, taking the place of the usual routine of school work. Immediately after regular dismission, the seniors who were dressed in costume march- ed into the auditorium, where an entertaimnent called Moli's Malicen was presented. Milton Lieberthal officiated as announcer. After the show, a dance, to which only seniors in costumes were allowed, was held in the Gym. Helene Ortman was adjudged the best dressed girl, and XYalter Hammett carried off the prize for the cleverest costume among the boys. ,f X ,ff A jf ff? ff Mm ff, ff!

He is also a member of the Bi-weekly Criterion. Marion Delaney is a class room leader and a room leader, ttwo very different things although they sound almost the samej and took part in the junior-Freshman party, and last but not least was one of the class officers. Ethel Friedman was room leader and recitation leader, a blend of the two qualifications of leadership and scholarship for which the pin is awarded. Raymond Geaney was a member of the business board of the Bi-weekly Criterion. He indulges in the new and thrilling sport of hunting ads. lt was a great pastime. Florence Krouse was leader of her session room and a sub-chairman of the Junior- lfreshman party which was a huge success. Henry Lee was a leader in Class Five, an assistant editor of the Criterion, member of the Players' Club, took a part in the operetta, was chairman of decoration committee for the Christmas Club and also room leader. XYhat more could anybody ask? Now he is even managing editor of tho Hi-weekly Criterion. Xvllllillll Perry was a member of the Rifle Club, he was on the decorations committee for the Christmas assembly and linally he was a member of the Boys' Student League rep- resentative board. Nellie Terlieek was a leader in session room activities and also a member of the com- mittee for the junior Supper. These suppers are great things. XYe only wish there were time to have them oftener. Margaret Vassas is a leader in her session room and also a leader in sports, one of these perfect healthy people, no doubt, with shining faces and all the rest of it. Marguerite XVashburne was a member of the Girls, Student League representative board and she also took part in the junior-Freshman party.

Those students who have re- ceived one of these awards are as follows: Eileen Calhoun seems to be following in the footsteps of her popular sister Kay. Eileen is an A. A. room representative and gym captain. Like Kay, she is very fond of athletics and, as it is needless to remark. very good at them. Listen llly children is the motto of Ethel Daley, president of the Story Tellers. Ethel also belongs to the Footlight Club. Rose Dvorchik is determined to make a lasting impression on the Girls' Student League. Rose is the G. S. L. representative of her session room. Alice Green has declared that she is going to have a good time while she is in B. H. S. She is a session room leader and was on the Class Four party committee. Lucianna Hnatt says she is going to be a teacher. She is going to entertain her pupils by telling them stories. Lucianna is in the Story Tellers and the Footlight Club, that's why. Lucille Phelps is out to get ahead of sister Janet. She has already been elected to the A. A. Board and is the assistant room leader. Lucille also played a prominent part in her class party. Adelaide Ryan is. going to leave her mark on her class. At least, so she says. She was on the class party committee. Adelaide is also interested in athletics. Lucille Shapiro is determined to get somewhere and she is getting there. Lucille is a room leader and a recitation leader. She is also president of the Footlight Club and was a leader at her class party. Page seventy-six THE CRITERION Juno, 1928 jnaxgif?

A year of concentrated planning and effort has gone into it, and in tendering it to you, students and faculty, it is our hope that this book reflects the spirit of this beautiful school of ours. A staff of forty-two students working together with the faculty advisers has made possible this year book. Miss Fairbanks has acted as adviser for the assembling of the whole book, Mr. Gordy has given freely of his time in supervising the beautiful drawings, and in making up the snap-shot pagesg Mr. Fiske has taken care of the advertisingg Dr. Sides has attended to the circulation and to all the finances: all the class advisers, Mrs. Rice, Miss Burnham, Miss Pragenian, Miss Porter, Miss Duhigg, Miss Hall, and Miss Newman have helped in many ways. NValter Hammett worked out the theme of the book-a future Bridgeport, and has attended to a thousand things. The class editors, Mary Woltch, Daniel Elson, Frances Greenspan, and Alfred Jennings have put in many an hour reading copy and proof and arranging pictures. Estelle Fitelson successfully planned for all the group pictures, Edward Jaegerman with his able assistants, Carlyn Hincks, Dorothy Haug, and Lillian Stein took charge of all the write-ups. Mary O'Hara with her assistants got together the snap-shotsg Alma Fones, Jessie French, and Ruth Lessler assembled the faculty section. Robert Neubauer, Allen Hurlburt, Philip Pavia, and Leslie VVilliamson have done the drawings. A great part of the success of the Commencement Criterion must go to its competent business staff. Frances Friedman as business manager, and Ansel Wittsteiii as assistant business manager have worked hard with their assistants. And last the typists, Sarah lfVeiner and Esther Villani, must be mentioned for they have willingly done what they have been asked to do and produced good looking copy for the printer. The other members of the board are: Fannie Don, Alice Tarnay, Jean Marshall, Lillian Siegel, Gladys Deacon, Betty McNamara, Catherine Fay, Regina Okleywiecz, Ruth Coulson, Louise Wheeler, Mary Salmon, Mary Miller, Rose Fleischer, Joseph Barratt, Gordon Taylor, Jeannette Josephs, Eileen McKeown, Eleanor Reilly, Lillian Jiler, Gertrude Biebel, Miriam Katz, Beatrice Katz, Phyllis Scott, and Ansel VVittstein.

The Ei-weekly riteriun The Criterion was originally a magazine containing both literary and news articles, but in 1918, at the government's request, it was changed to a four-page bi-weekly newspaper, in order to economize on the paper used. Every other Thursday during the school year it has been issued during the past nine years, endeavoring at all times to reflect school life and interest. One of the objects of the publication is the mention of all possible names during the school semester. Another of its keynotes is variety and progress. Following out this last platform, a column under which all the minor sports of the school are listed has become a regular feature. Another popular column is Nine Years Ago, which tells of things which were published in the earlier issues of the Criterion. A subsidiary to the latter is the Four Years Ago column, which reminds the seniors of things which took place when they were freshmen. Much credit for the success of the paper is due its advisers-Miss Cutler, Mr. Fiske, and Dr. Sides. Managing Editor, Clifford Fitton, . . '28, News Editor, Joseph Es- posito, '28Mg, Asst.

Interesting stories, poems, a fine humor section, many original essays, and excellent editorials make up its con- tents. These are contributed partly by the literary board and partly by other students who are interested in writing. There were four issues this year. The first one, a Thanksgiving number, was a little later than usual, but this apparently only increased the interest of the student body, for it was received with great enthusiasm. Because of the huge success of the Commencement Pen last year, it was decided to issue a similar number in January. This dealt principally with the affairs of the mid-year grad- uating class. An extra committee made up of members of class eight aided the Pen board in collecting material. Some of the outstanding features of that issue were the baby pic- tures of the seniors, the mottoes, a page of favorite sayings, the class history, will, and prophecy.

Girls' btuhent league The Girls' Student League is the largest and one of the most influential organizations of Bridgeport High School. Every girl in the school is an active member. This year the Girls' Student League entered upon its eleventh year of service with a new feeling of purposefulness and faith in its ideals. This was created in part by the reunion held last June to commemorate the tenth anniversary of this founding of the League. The gathering of so many former ofhcers Qand a very large number respondedj showed what a force the League has been in the past and what great possibilities there are for it in the future. This feeling has been present in all the activities throughout the year, not only in estab- lished helds but also in new opportunities for service which have been opened up. The A B C D is one of this year's innovations. This is an organization of the lunch periods which corresponds in honor and position to the Ushers' Guild. Each table has a head to manage its affairs. There is a leader for each period, and one girl is in charge of the whole organ- ization. Another new institution is an official day for the return of alumni. For some years alumni have straggled in to watch our celebration on this day before the Christmas vacation. This year under G. S. L. management, they met in Room One in an organized unit. flfifzsas L C. L. L .O1Ef1llf1Q1UQ1YSL .... L LSL ..,Fii?3i.'mX.'1f1f Top Row-Robert Avery, Charles Hosking.

Buys' Stuhent league The Boys' Student League first took the form of an organization in Central High School in May, l926, when a constitution, written by Benedict Militana, was accepted. Mr. Mili- tana was later elected president of the organization. The purpose of the league according to the preamble of the constitution is to maintain high standards of conduct, sportsman- ship, scholarship, and service in the school, and to promote good fellowship. Representa- tives were immediately elected in each boys' sessionerooms. Since then the B. S. L. has accomplished much in various lines. One of the first projects was a dancing class, later taken up in co-operation with the G. S. L. and instructed by Miss Rose Sakowitz, girls' gym teacher. The two Leagues also run popular afternoon dances, which are successful both socially and financially. Next in order was a B. S. L. billboard, containing B. S. L. notices and anything pertain- ing to school work. This board was edited by various members of the B. S. L. and it was placed in the boys' lunchroom. For one year Mr. McKee, Vocational Guidance instructor and adviser for the B. S. L., carried out an extensive program of vocational guidance talks by prominent local men. The B. S. L. has carried out inter-room athletic programs and it has donated to the Student Loan Fund and the Community Chest. Credit for the success of maintaining the league is due to Mr. Frank McKee, adviser, and to the co-operation of the boys in the school. l l J Egjjipg'-Q gg gggg gg g g CRITERION gg gg June, 1928 Ton Rowfliuth Tisehler.

Ulibe Sunnpsiihe Qtr The Sunnyside Set, a club of the Girls, Student League, under the leadership of Miss Florence Haskin, is composed of girls who give programs at orphan asylums and homes for elderly people. The members of the club are girls who are talented in music or dramatics, or interested in furthering the work of the club in any other way. Every Friday afternoon the club meets in the Club Room, Room 1, and presents a pro- gram. Each program is planned by a group leader, who belongs to Harriet Harrison's ad- visory Board of Leaders, and is given by the girls in her group. If satisfactory, this program is then presented by the girls in different public institutions, during the next few weeks. The Sunnyside Set Songstcrs. under the leadership of Caroline Jackson, accompanist, and Ruth Steinhardt, business manager , form a neucleus for developing and using the musical talent of the club. The Sunnyside Set aims not only to bring good cheer to others by means of entertain- ments, but also to use the musical and dramatic talent of high school girls, and to develop in the members of the club such qualities as leadership and responsibility, The officers of the club are: Rita Dulbis-President Ethel Rasmussen-VicePresident Sadie Greenspan-Secretary Rita Beloin-Treasurer Miss Florence Haskin-Faculty Adviser L Y i june, 1928 ORGANIZATIONS Page ninety-three Top Row--Ivor Morgan, Hernard Cunningham.

Under the direction of Miss Farnam, debates have been held with members of the club participating. These debates, along with a series of interesting talks on modern speech given by Miss Farnam, have proved very beneticial to all enrolled. lt is much to be regretted that this year. as well as last, no XYesleyan Triangular Debates were held with neighboring high schools. Bridgeport High was ready to enter, but New Haven High and llartford High were not. However, the club, through its adviser, has been assured by Mr. Connelly, the VX'esleyan Alumni secretary, that next year a new league will be formed to debate again for a cup. Members of the club are already making preparations and training themselves for these debates. Their preparations consist of debates on lively topics of present day interest, impromptu speech making, and long carefully prepared speeches. The impromptu talks are a good test of one's ingenuity, and the prepared ones are good training for public speak- ing. Some excellent debates have been held during the term on topics which proved to be very debatable and of great interest to the members.

The Story illellers The Story Tellers Club is a girls' organization. The club was organized by Mrs. Sara Sherman Pryor in 1917, and has been very successfully continuing its work up to the present year. Miss julia Farnam is the present adviser, and she has been successful in supervising the girls through this term. The club consists of girls from Miss Farnam's various expres- sion classes, the Footlight Club, the Players' Club, and all others girls in the school who are interested in joining. During the Winter months the girls are dressed in red capes, trimmed with white, and red caps trimmed with holly. In these attractive costumes, they visit the hospitals, insti- tutions, and branch libraries in Bridgeport, spreading Christmas cheer to the many children in this city by their interesting, picturesque stories. In the Spring, the girls are dressed in gypsy costumes, gayly colored bandanas, strings of colored beads, and many bracelets. Once again they visit the hospitals, institutions, and schools, taking with them new stories for the children. This year the girls' program has consisted of visits to the branch libraries, the Hall Settlement Home, The Bridgeport and St. Vincent Hospitals. The Fairfield County Home in Norwalk, and the local schools: The Officers of the club are: President-Ethel Dailey Treasurer-Irma Gunzenhauser Vice-President-Harriet Harrison Faculty Adviser-Miss Farnam Secretary-Helen Robinson Chairman of Program Committee-T-larriet Harrison Chairman of Costume Committee-Frances Greenspan June, 1928 iimjw if Wmigewiigtyffpe Top Row-Donald Potter, liobert Schultz, Emil Klein, Adolph Suchy, VValter Hammett, Mr. Breul, adviser.

This group consisting of music- loving boys has assisted at more than a few assemblies, and has always acquitted itself with much credit. Of its more prominent and helpful appearances, the work done in the fall operetta, The Pirates of Penzance , can be considered as being the best and most outstanding. In the play the boys sang in fine style, and carried out a difficult chorus part in a most professional man- ner. Co-operation was in a large measure the secret of their success, and much credit is due to those who played their parts so well. Again, the Glee Club was seen to great advan- tage in the Christmas Donation Day Assembly Program. A splendid combination of acting and singing was rendered at that time, which caused outsiders to comment favorably upon the singers' achievements. Upon numerous other occasions the boys did their stuff. and their performances were invariably complete successes. As has been said before, co-operation played a large part, but it is due to the expert and untiring coaching of our own Mr. Alvin C. Breul that the club has achieved the prominence that it now possesses. It was not an easy undertaking to turn out such a group of singers.

The club presents a program every week, consisting' of instrumental and vocal music by its members. It also studies the lives and compositions of the great musicians and com- posers of all times. The A-Xmpico reproducing piano. purchased last year has enabled the club to enjoy a much wider range of material. lt has also helped materially in the study of the great masterpieces of music, presenting them to the club as played by the great artists. This has proved an inspiration to the members throughout the year. The members of the club have enjoyed an interesting and beneficial series of programs during the past year, and it is hoped that many new students will avail themselves of this remarkable opportunity in future years.

Breul Page ninety-eight THE CRITERION June, 1928 The Jfrencb Iuh The French Club is one of the newer organizations of the school, and is filling a long felt need by giving French students a further opportunity to study the French people and their customs. Since the regular class period is so short. it is impossible to get everything into the time allowed. The club also gives the students a chance to speak French, making the language a live thing instead of merely words memorized from a text-book. There is great variety in the programs of this club. French plays are given by the members and solo numbers and French songs. sung by all, supply the music. At other times, the members of the club lay aside their dignity and play riotous games in French, getting much amusement from this, and also great practice in thinking quickly in French. The club meets on every other Thursday, alternating between business and social meet- ings. Frequently light refreshments are served at the end of the meetings, during which time the club sings and converses in French. The entrance requirements to this club are not very strict, since a large enrollment is desired.

The German lub Der Gesaungveriu des Central High School, a club long anticipated by the German stu- dents was formed November 3, 1927 by Mrs. Averill. the very competent adviser of the club. The aim of the club is to promote an interest in the people of Germany, their man- ners and customs. their folk songs, and, in general. to have a good time. The meetings are very informal and are held every first and third Thursday. There is a membership of forty- five students. The club is open to any member of both Mrs. Averillis and Mr. Laliield's German classes. The members taking German three or four are eligible on any average but members of the lower classes are only permitted to join if they have marks of ninety-five or over. The iirst set of officers were: President, Raymond lflonahueg vice-president, Bessie Donnenbergg secretary. Lillian NYeissg music leader. Robert Schulz: chairnian of the entertainment committee, Frank Gevurzg members of the entertainment committee, Mitchell Br-einer, Albert Toth, Rose Fleisber. Jeanette Josephs. Each member of the German club has provided himself with a song book entitled Deutsche Leiderf' To carry out the spirit of the club the secretary's reports are read in German. As there are no dues, money is collected from each individual when it is needed for entertainment or otherwise. The first party was held at the home of M rs. Averill, December 16, 1927. As it was so near the Christmastide it was a Christmas party. Games, singing. and dancing were en- joyed. A grab-bag novelty was introduced. Refreshments were served. Madame llawes and M rs. Fiske were the guests of honor. A guest from ltaly was also present and she com- mented favorable on the German singing.

The chief attraction offered to the boys and girls of the commercial course is that of the privilege of visiting places of interest in industrial Bridgeport. Some of the places visited thus far are The Bridgeport Brass Shop, Ives Toy Shop, New Haven Dairy, and the Acme Shear Shop. The students were allowed to watch and inspect the working, making, and handling of the assorted articles of manufacturing in these various factories. Another interesting part of the Geography Club's program is that of having very inter- esting discussions on suitable topics among the members themselves. These discussions are on topics dealing with the different countries of the world. Another immensely appreciated part of the Club's program is that of having talks by some members of the faculty. A talk on China given by Miss Carter was one of the most entertaining. At some of the meetings different pictures were shown. These illustrate the products, customs, and dress of the various peoples of the world. Much praise and thanks are due Miss Gilhuley for her efficient management of the club and for the entertaining programs to which she was sponsor. The present officers of the club are: President-Agnes Gleason Vice-President-Robert Herb Secretary-Eileen Manning Treasurer-john Murphy june, 1928 Page hundred one Tflibe Gregg ftlluh In 1923 a group of Commercial girls came together and decided to form an organiza- tion for the express purpose of broadening their knowledge in shorthand. The idea of such an organization was first suggested by Miss Ladd, an instructor in shorthand. The club was organized and officers were elected. The official Gregg colors, blue and white, were chosen by the club. The first meeting this year was held early in the term. At this meeting it was decided to extend membership to all students taking shorthand three or four with an average of at least 80fk, where formerly the club consisted of all class seven and eight girls with an aver- age of 8517. This, however, prevented many girls who were anxious to join the club from doing so. At the second meeting the officers for the term were chosen. Plans were made to have different prominent business men of the city speak to the girls every other week, on some phase of business life. Lillian Siegel and Lilyan Stein were appointed to take notes in short- hand on the talks delivered and read before the club the following week. This program was followed during the rest of the term. The officers chosen for this term are: President-Mary XVoltch Secretary-jessie French Vice-President-Rose Ginsberg Treasurer-Mildred Goldstein Chairman of Social Activities-Bertha Bayne Chairman of Publicity Committee-Lillian Siegel Adviser-Miss Ruth Ladd Page hundred two .lulley 1928 Top Row-Anna Kramsack, Gertrude Ulhrick.

The club is very tiny in size and numbers, but its policy is of the highest calibre. As the name implies, the entire aim of the organization is to do good for the needy, without receiving any reward for their work. Many a child in the various homes and hospitals has been made happy when it has looked through the pretty colored picture books which the members of the XYelfare Club made and gave to these institutions. During the past year each of the members has been very active in the service of the Red Cross. Each girl as well as the adviser has at least a minimum of thirty hours work in the aid of the Red Cross. At the time of the disastrous Mississippi Flood the club donated live dollars to the Flood Fund. At Christmas seven dollars was given to the Red Cross Fund. At the end of each semester a party with many novelties and dances is held in Room One. Much praise is given Miss Dougal, the adviser, for her valuable advice and efficiency. The officers for the term are: President-Dorothy Hang Vice-President-Gertrude Ulbrick Secretary-Nancy Sciortino Treasurer-Evelyn Lynch l June, 1928 in fir Wi Pa-ggi hundreigthree w :sms f A The layers' ftliluh The Players' Club is the dramatic organization for upper-classmen. In its meetings dis- cussions are held of all phases of drama and its allied arts, lighting, staging, costuming, make-up, and so forth. Plays and sketches are also given by the members of the club. To belong to the Players' Club it is necessary to give a try-out, a small play or skit which demonstrates the acting ability of the applicant, or one may also become a member by taking part in any manner in the prize plays or the annual operetta. Of course any member of the Footlight Club, which is a parallel organization, or of the Congress High Dramatic Club is also eligible for membership in the Players' Club. The purpose of the club is to provide an outlet for dramatic ability and for ability in the other arts necessary for dramatic production, and also to cultivate and stimulate interest in the best types of drama. During the year, the Players' Club produces an operetta, the senior play, the prize plays, and a program on donation day. lt also aids in providing entertainment for various other assemblies. The officers for this year are: President-Thomas McCarthy Corresponding Secretary-Edna Alberty Vice-President-Frances Friedman Chairman of Program Committee-Lucy Ryan Recording Secretary-Pearl Kosby Chairman of Publicity--Roger Fox Treasurer-Clifford Fitton Adviser-Miss Farnam f'f1gfiEIfl'e'll0liLoo THE CRITRION e z- . z- J11'1C?1?E The Jfnntlight Klub The Footlight Club held its first meeting in Room 119 the second week after school had opened in September. The first thing that was accomplished was the election of the officers for the coming year. The entire executive board elected consisted of old members. Practi- cally all the old members not present had become juniors and were automatically transfer- red to the Players' Club. Only those who are sopohomores or freshmen may belong to the Footlight Club, and when they become upper classmen, they are transferred to the Players' Club. Before taking up any new work, the Club issued a call for new members, and many girls turned up at the following meeting. During the course of the year many try-outs have been presented by the girls desiring membership in the club. The try-outs are voted upon by the members and the girls are in- formed whether or not they have been admitted to the organization. At each meeting dif- ferent members usually present programs before the club. Miss Farnam. faculty adviser, has spoken to the girls on stage make-up, a very interesting topic, especially for those inter- ested in following the footlights as a career. Another interesting factor about the Footlight Club is that the members present the third prize of five dollars for the Prize Play Contest.

This year, on the sixteenth and eighteenth of November, Gilbert and Sullivan's The Pirates of Penzancev was given under the able direction of Miss Julia Farnam, dramatic coach, and Alvin C. Breul, musical director The cast for the operetta was as follows: Richard, a pirate chief-Clifford Fittong Samuel, his lieutenant-Roger Foxg Frederick, a pirate apprentice-Milton Lieberthalg Major General Stanley, of the British Army-Robert Schultzg Edward, a sergeant of the police-Adolph Suchyg Mabel, General Stanle-y's favorite daughter-Doris Cannerg General Stanley's daughters-Kate, Ella Komonyig Edith, Dorothy Lobdellg Isabel, Vera Houstong Ruth. a piratical maid-of-all-work-Beatrice Gilman. vi There was also a large chorus of pirates and Major Stanley's daughters. Many students greatly aided the production of this operetta in other ways. Mrs. Esta Osman of the Domestic Science department supervised a group of girls who made costumes for nearly a hundred people in the play. The stage crew under Mr. Nelson Gordy made all the scenery and arranged it on the nights of the performance. Dr. Arthur C. Sides headed the Finance committee which took charge of selling all the tickets. A group of girls also helped to make up the cast for the performance. A specially selected student orchestra, under the direction of Mr. Breul, supplied the music for the performances. J Page hundred six THE CRITERION June, 1928 Zllbe Qllbristmas ageant Friday. December 23, 1927, the annual Christmas assembly was presented in the audi- torium. This year instead of having each class present a stunt, there was an interesting play to take the place of the programs presented by the classes. The play, The Perfect Giftf, was directed by Miss Julia Farnam, adviser of dramatics. It was a charming play illustrating the fact that the perfect gift is a gift of love and self-sacrifice. The play was in two parts. a play and a vision which takes the form of a Christmas pageant with a beautiful musical accompaniment. The characters in The Perfect Gift were: Holger, played by Lucy Ryan: Steen, played by Rita Beloing Uncle Bertel, played by Thomas McCarthy, and the old woman, played by Marie DiSesa. The characters in the vision were: a priest, Aram Tellalian, jing a nobleman, Allen Hurlburtg a rich woman, Victoria Cotmil 5 a scholar, Robert McDonaldg a peasant, Bernard Cunninghamg a young maiden, Olive Davisg the king, Roger Fox: and an angel, Helen Hancock. There were thirty-eight girls and boys in the cathedral choir. Before the play had been presented the entire school joined in the singing of Christmas carols under the direction of Mr. lireul. After the play the room leaders brought up the donations which the school annually presents to the Salvation Army for distribution among the needy of the city. June. 1928 W W V hundred PRIZE PLAY MODELS The 1Bri5e iBIaps One of the most important projects of the Players' Club this year was the sponsoring of the Fifth Annual Prize Play Contest. The annual play-writing contest is an especially fine and noteworthy undertaking inasmuch as it offers countless opportunities to the students. Those who do not write may center their interests upon the producing of the plays, where much practical knowledge is obtained. The handy boy finds work on the stage crew while the skillful seamstress is a great asset on the costume committee. All in all, the con- test aims to stimulate interest in all branches of dramatic art: play writing, production. scenic designs and construction, costume designs, make-up, and acting. Such a contest arouses not only the enthusiasm and interest of the students participating but that of the re sidents of Bridgeport who are eager to see what high school boys and girls can really do. The prizes this year were awarded as follows: lst prize of 315.00 to The Gate by Ruth Lessler 2nd prize of 310.00 to A Modern Cinderella by Mary Louise XValsh 3rd prize of 35.00 to Three On a Match by Bernard Dryer. The production prize, a theatre party to a Broadway play was awarded to the entire pro- duction group of A Modern Cinderella. This group of thirty students had the pleasure of attending XYalter Hampden's performance of Henry V on April 14. This was followed by dinner at a New York hotel. The party was a great sucess. The success of the plays was due greatly to the hearty co-operation of the students who worked together to make the contest worth while. hundlffd eight THE June, 1928 'ATHE GATE, BY RUTH LESSLER A MODERN CINIJERELLA, BY MARY LOUISE VVALSH.

For this year, the Classes Seven and Eight joined hands and produced Lewis Beach's delightful modern comedy, The Goose Hangs High, on XVednesday and Friday evenings, May 16 and 18, in the School Auditorium. The play was a charming picture of the family life of the Bernard lngals, whose child- ren, brought up to get everything their hearts desired, and apparently made thoughtless and selfish thereby, show their love and devotion and willingness to sacrifice themselves for their parents when necessity arises. The play was acted with the spirit and zest demanded of this type of comedy. It was directed by Miss julia C. Farnam, Director of Dramatics. , The scenery, an attractive living room set, was designed by Mr. Nelson Gordy, our Art Director, and executed by an able stage crew consisting of George Sweeney, Robert Dun- leavy, Leon Rozene, Basilio Yurchenco. Harry Bowman, and Louis Kabrowsky. The cast which so admirably portrayed the characters of the play was as follows: Bernard Ingals ....................... Lewis Thelin Hugh Ingals ..............

The board with the loyal support of the entire school and friends. has accomplished much. For the 1Yarren Harding game, which is the most notable game on our football schedule, a band, which added much zest and pep to our singing and cheering, was procured. The basketball team is provided with brilliant. new, red and black uniforms and the team makes a very good impression when it gets on the court. The Girls' Sport Club. as also the Girls' track meet, is sponsored by the A. A. The whole school is enjoying the achievements of the various teams, and it is hoped that this year the A.

S. for their splendid co-operation which has clone so much to make this year a successful one. June, 1928 ATHLETICS Page hundred thirteen Jfunthall Coach Edward Reilly issued his call for team candidates about the middle of September. About seventy-live boys answered the call, but only five had had experience. Captain George Syme, jr., did his share in coaching the likely prospects. The management of the team was handled by Frank Hurley. All games were played at Newheld Park with the exception of the Ansonia and Nauga- tuck games. XVe opened our season September 24 at Newfield Park, where we won our first game with the husky Stratford High team. Gur acid test came the next week when we played the Carmel Hall team, which we won by an easy score. The following Saturday we played the Greenwich High School team and won after a close game. NVe received our first set-back the following week in Ansonia. The first big game of the early season came Saturday. October 12, when we journeyed to Naugatuck to avenge the defeat that they had handed us the year before. After one of the hardest fought games of the year we came out on top for our fourth victory. The next week we met the strong Hulkeley High School team and won our hfth victory. The annual county football classic was staged at Newfield Park on Armistice Day when the Stamford High team journeyed to this city to meet the Reillymen. 1Ve had made plans for this remarkable day to avenge that game of the previous year, but went down for our second defeat. The greatest excitement of the year and what will probably be the most remarkable game of all seasons was staged on Saturday, November 19, in Newlield Park, when the en- tire city turned out to see the annual clash between Central and Harding for the city foot- ball championship. Harding High School won in one of the cleanest and best played games of the year. About a week later at the football banquet Edward XYasson was elected cap- tain and David Southey manager of the football team for the season of 1928.

Three veterans of the previous season's team were left: Captain Paul Munkacsy, Gus Sandy, and Mitchell Roth. Coach Reilly soon put together a team that played Yale Freshmen on De- cember 7 and lost a hotly contested game. A long string of victories was run up by this team which lost only to the powerful Commercial High School quintet of New Haven. Then came the great Harding game. This, for the Hrst time, was played in the State Armory. In perhaps the most thrilling battle ever seen in this city Central was nosed out 22-20. At the first half Central was ahead 13-10 but in the final Jerry Sakowitz, star forward, was removed on personal fouls and thus left ahole which could not be filled. In the last minute of the play Harding won the game. Alfred Roberts and George Syme, two of the team's stars. were lost by the February graduation. But the team made a sufficiently good record to be placed as one of the first teams in the Yale State Tournament. An invitation was also received to enter the Penn- sylvania national tournament but this could not be accepted. The team compiled a record of fourteen victories and seven defeats during the season. Jerome Sakowitz was elected captain and Elmer Harkabus was appointed manager for the season of 1928-29. The following players received letters: Captain Paul Munkacsy, Zoltan Munkacsy, Edward lVasson, George Syme, Mitchell Roth, Alfred Roberts, Harold XYittenberg, Jerome Sakowitz, and Manager Frederick Bosworth.

Under the capable leadership of Coach Hugh Barron and Captain Charles Hook, the boys worked very diligently at each practice session. Their work was finally rewarded by victor- ies over their formidable rival, Harding, in a series of three games, and also by twice defeat- ing the strong YVest Haven team which held Congress, the state champs, once to a tie. Due to the late start which the team made, a game with Congress to decide the cham- pionship of the state could not be scheduled. Nevertheless, the boys felt very confident of defeating the team from Congress, the school across the way, because of their fme record. Harold Wittenberg has been, elected to succeed Charles Hook as captain of the team during the season of 1928, and we hope that the boys will do even better than they did in their initial year.

The team was coached by Mr. ,lohn Fox. with the help of two trips to Yale, where they were coached by Mr. Robert Kiputh, for whose ser- vices the team is very grateful. The team started its season with Crosby High. and was beaten. They were then beaten by South Manchester High. The next meet with Bristol High they won by a close score. They were afterwards beaten by Canterbury Prep., XYesleyan lfrosh, and Roxbury Prep. The next meet with llarding High for the city championship was the shining meet of the season which they won 37 to 16.

The officers are as follows: president, Robert llartg secretary, XYilliam Perryg treasurer, Thomas l-Rall. NYith a payment of five dollars. the club joined the National Rifle Association, Junior Rifle Corps. This membership carries with it the privilege of buying supplies from the National Rifle Association at a discount of from twenty to forty per cent. At present, the club is in possession of three rifles. two of which are model 52 XYin- chesters, and the other a single shot NYinchester. As two single shot rifles may be obtained for the price of one model 52. Mr. Barron has placed an order with the Stevens Arms Company of Springfield, Massachusetts, for several rifles of this type. The Athletic Association board has promised to give the club a new rifle annually. A weekly match is held in The National Rifie Association, junior Rifle Corps, with all the high schools in the United States who are members participating. The results are telegraphed immediately to XYashington. and the fi ve highest targets are sent by mail before a certain date. A series of three matches with llarding. and other matches with the various High Schools in the state have been successfully held to determine the state championship.

Buys' mack The extension of an invitation to our school by the Yale Track manager revived indoor track in Central High this year. The proposition was that we should compete in a two-third mile relay race with Hartford Public High and New Haven High as our opponents on Feb- ruary 11, 1928, in the New Haven Arena. On December 15, 1927, a call for candidates was issued, and about forty men reported. Practice was immediately started at the State Armory. VVe placed third in the meet, which was not doing so badly considering the material and the available place for practice. Only one of the boys had ever run in competition before, so the result of the race did not dis- courage the boys, and they pronted much from their experience. On February 17, a call was issued for more candidates to take part in all events, and many prospects turned out. Otto Mattegat, the only letter man left, is captain. Edison Owens, Howard NVardell, and John Tackacs were left from last year's team, and, along with much promising material as Thomas VVatt, Ralph Fenster, and VVard Rose, they contributed toward a very successful season. Thomas Kearney, the able track manager, made out the schedule. A new feature on it was a triangular meet between Fairfield High, Stratford High, and Central High. Meets were scheduled with Naugatuck, Harding, and Crosby, and the Yale interscholastic took place on May 19. june, 1928 ATHLETICS Page hundred twenty-three Top Row-4Mr. Reilly. Coach. Thomas Clancy.

Girls' Zllirack iliileet The seniors have again set a new precedent which now will be followed at every Girls' Track Meet. Instead of the usual pageant which has been one of the main features of the meet, the regular costume will be the gym costume. each class also wearing a different col- ored band and tie. This year the seniors wore redg the juniors. purple: the sophomores, yellowg and the freshmen, green. Each class marched in witha military formation, the freshmen entering first and followed by the higher classes. The first events were the songs and cheers. The seniors were the first to begin, and were followed in turn by the lower classes. After the song and cheer contest the track events began. Mrs. Sides acted as general referee and starter. Three other judges rendered decis- ions. Each class was cheered by the other and many novel songs were sung. The excitement was intense as all the events were hotly contested. In the track events there were four contestants from each class. Four heats were run, the winner in each heat running in the final heat for points. The points awarded were: first place, fiveg second, threeg third, two. The winners of the first place in the final heat will receive four inch f'B's. The final score was: sophomores, 30 pointsg seniors, 275 juniors, 15g freshmen, 9. The track captains were: freshmen, SusanBreulg sophomores, Almina Crawfordg juniors, Margaret Vasasg seniors, jean Dikeman. The sophomore and senior classes were coached by Miss Sakowitz, and Miss Laidlaw had charge of the freshmen and junior teams. Both instructors deserve much credit for the success of the Girls' Track Meet. SIIUN QR! 1 K M X 5' E .:f 'xxczziaf if YNU, ! 3 Eg!

Ifage hundred THE CRITERION June, 1928 lass QEigbt letter CEd. note-the following is a letter sent to the students by a very interested person. Read the whole letter first, and then read it skipping every other line. Just notice the dififerencej Dear Students: As we draw near the end of the school year we ought to recall some of the delightful times we had, to remember, to look back on our social events and recall various occasions. We had some delightful times, you can bet, and I site, for instance, the class seven frolic. That was the time that Mickey Roth was our class president. There were some who said he just claimed he acted as a perfect host but in reality we know he did. Some one persisted in saying he didn't but let me say it was just a big lie. We remember also that Dui? Donnelly was there. So were Jack Seekings and Bob Avery. None of them danced a little too often with Mim Burns and we hope they all had a good time. It had to rain, though, and I wonder why that was. Our dear friend Janet Phelps was there in all her glory and charm. Everyone was glad she wore her red dress which fully deserved the Spanish shawl she should have had. Everyone was glad the cook didn't use the onion Jack Fitzgerald gave her. He is always doing things like that as a joke. The cook asked Janet if she should use it and that was enough to make Janet angry and believe me when I say I would have gotten angry, too. As for the cook, we found out that she sure can fly oft the handle. I never saw anyone so angry before. But enough of the frolic. Let us go on. Pig Tail day was a scream. Did you see Natalie Marsh in her darling little dress. Some one said she looked good in a kid's costume. I nearly died laughing. She looked much better than good. And the best part of it is, not at all like a two year olil. And that little bonnet around her neck was as sweet as it could be. She made everyone else there look too funny for words. I suppose she ean't help it. It's just natural for her to eclipse the rest. And everyone is crazy about the way her mother dresses her. The fellows dressed up hne. Contrary to previous opinions, they were not at all like the bunch of galoots they were said to be. It's too bad people have to talk. Some don't like Pig Tail Day and I wonder why they can't get some spirit. They should honor the occasion more. But let us go on. Everyone remembers Donation Day. The program certainly did honor to those who worked on it. The delay was nice and short and it wasn't hard to just sit and wait patiently. There wasn't a person who wanted to go to sleep. Everyone was glad that the Salvation Army ofhcer thanked us so heartily, but we were sorry that Mr. Moore only spoke about one minute. Golly, we don't like such short speeches from our principal and everyone wants him to talk forever. The Alumni returned but I can't see why they didn't stay longer. All were enthused and gave reasons why they come back after they are lucky enough to get a vacation. They had a delightful time and were sorry to get out. But that's the way with everything I guess. Good times don't last long. The same night the Prom was held. That's the time we enjoyed ourselves so much. Not like these barnyard formals when everyone trots out the motheaten Tuxedos from 1840 -4 DIVERSION Page llunclrecl thirty-mme L IWHIIIIIIMI f 0 nf, EQ J! ,...

As a result of the elections, the following worthy and estimable officers were elected: president, Gilbert Millerg vice-president, Margaret Graveseng secretary, Louise W'heelerg treasurer, VVilliam Kielyg and director of social activities, Estelle Reilly. And with such a a group of officers we felt that our class should acomplish great wonders. ln early March we started out with our class activities by entertaining the incoming Freshmen at a St. Patrickfs reception-green ice cream, shamrock identification tags and all! The only thing lacking was a few serpents. The astonished and blinking freshmen were conducted through an entire high school course. and at the end of the afternoon were presented with diplomas. Oh, if it could only be done in a day! It pains me to have such a thought even presented to the poor little freshmen. But honestly speaking, the green color scheme was no refiection on our guests. Somehow or other the day of the Inter-Class Track Meet arrived. I think this fellow, Father Time, is even faster than the new Ford. The literary aspirants of the class wrote songs and jeers-no, cheers-others planned costumes, while our brawny athletes were put through a stiff course of training in preparation for the track events. VVe Juniors appeared as Vulgar, pardon me, Volga boatmen, and we hauled our King around the gym in a barge. Of course the gym was not flooded-it was a fake barge, in more ways than one. How we toiled at that rope with cruel monsters horsewhipping us! I know the parents would have liked this part. Unfortunately it turned out that the Sophomores had much more velocity in their pedal extremities than their opponents, so all our labor went for naught and we had nothing to show for it but a universal sore throat from so much ladylike cheering. One perfect June day-heat and all-we had our class picnic at Cedar Grove. It proved a delightful spot. Races were held and dancing was enjoyed at the cutest log cabin you ever saw. It would be a perfect spot in which to write and win a Lincoln essay. But a tragedy happened. The hot dogs, punch and ice cream got lost with Mr. Robins, so instead of having them for lunch we had them for supper. The lady at the grove was surprised to hear that Mr. Robins could not find Cedar Grove. XVhy, everyone knows where my place is. I challenge even Lindy to find the place in ten days. Yum-m-ml That punch! XVhen it did come it certainly was scrumptious and we more than enjoyed filling up on hot dogs after our long fast . On the evening of December 9, 1927. we had our Hrst social event, The Bookland Ball, and it certainly was a delightful frolic. Do not be deceived by the name. It was one night when every one forgot those old tormentors, books.' Qlf any teachers are reading this, l'm only kiddingj Days before the Ball gay posters were seen here and there around B. H. S. The industry of the cohimittees was really a most pleasing factor. 1Ve were inform- ed that each was to represent some character from a book. Some of the characters would have been most difficult to locate between two covers, however. The gym was a riot of color -red and white being the class cofors used. And what dashing army officers, what beauti- ful belles of long ago! What black and bloodthirsty villains confronted us! -lune, 1928 Page hundred thirty-three These bookish characters-so-called-seemed to enjoy the dancing very much, espec- ially the one entitled Under the Moon. Such a benevolent countenance as our artists managed to give our beautiful moon. XYe enjoyed his presence very much and hope he will come again. During the dancing, the committee of judges was busy deciding the important issue as to which costumes were deserving of the fine prizes which we had for them. After much deliberation, Ruth Kearns as Robin Hood, and Clifford Halpin, as Huckleberry Finn, were awarded prizes. And so we finally partook of our ice cream and cookies, and departed, the Class 6 Frolic a thing of the past, and the last event of the semester. February of 1928 found us ready for our new class officers. XYith due ceremony and sufficient but not undue politics, we chose the following officers: President, Alfred j. jen- ningsg vice-president, Lucy Ryan, secretary, Margaret Graveseng treasurer, Edison Owensg director of social activities, Louise Wheeler. After installation the officers immediately started in on their respective jobs-with much pep. After extracting dues from the class, the committee started work on plans for the Class 7 Frolic-a grand affair-sporty, brilliant in colors displayed, and in keeping with the spring fever prevalent through the school. Among the attractions of the evening were our amateur , performances--you see we do not attempt things beyond our depth-a stunt dance or two and the usual and indispensable refreshments. Time surely does fly at school affairs -eleven o'clock appears almost before we get started. This is of course a sure sign that we were enjoying ourselves. Time Hies during the six periods of the school day too--does this also show that we are enjoying ourselves? But yes! The rest of Class 7 history is in the making-embryonic. nebulous, unprophesiable. just as the tale of the acomplishments of the individual members of the class will be unfinished when we, as Class 8 graduates, have read our last book report and taken our last exams, and been tardy for the last ime flet us hope that it is the last timej. The class of February, 1929, makes its bow. We do not claim to be worse, and we think we may be a bit better, than most classes. Adieux. Ruth Kearns Alfred Jennings fi ' ' N A FIT OF ANGEQ. SHE.
