RAYMOND'4ff2,g4,m ,, 61 FOREWORD Recollections of these past four years will doubtless race tihrough your minds as you scan this book. Some of them will be pleasant- others painful, perhaps. If we, the editors, have presented a true picture of 1947 in Central, we shall feel that our .task has been well done. We have tried to make this record an accurate one, constantly bearing in mind the importance of our four high school years and knowing that our memories of school days will never grow old. U3 DIRECTCRS MISS AGNES E. COLLINS Miss Agnes Collins fills the important position of vicefprincipal of Congress High School, which is the headquarters for the extras of the Central Studio. A graduate of Central herself, Miss Coll-ins has done a creditable job in preparing the freshmen for their transfer to this building. The students of Central owe a great deal to her work. MISS JULIA C. FARNAM A graduate of Central and of Bridgeport Normal School, Miss Julia C. Farnam received her B. A. and M. A. degrees at Columbia Uni' versity. She is also a for-mer student off Lasalle Seminary and of the Central School of Speech Training at London. Besides serving so ably as Dean of Girls and as adviser for the Girls' Student League, Miss Farnam is an active participant in civic affairs. She is a member of the Board of Directors of the American Red Cross, and she was chairman of the Black Rock Auxiliary during the War. Miss Farnam is also a member of the Connecticut Association of Deans and the president of the Connecticut Association of Speech Teachers. Since her appointment to the position of Dean of Girls of Central High School in 1942, Miss Farnam has devoted a tremendous amount of time and effort to the welfare of the girls. MR. FRANK PIAZZA Mr. Frank Piazza was aippointed a director of the Central Studio in 1945. 'Since that time he has acquired the added responsibility of serving as principal of the Veteran's High School. Mr. Piazza is -generally extremely active in the field of education. His professional aiiiliations include the fields of guidance, business education, adult education, and educational administration. He has been principal of the General Evening School since 1940. Mr. Piazza is a graduate of 'Central and of Columbia University, where he obtained his B.A. with honors in French. He also attended the N. Y. U. Graduate School of Education. It was here that he obtained his M.A. degree. I 8 iii , ww EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR DR. ARTHUR C. SIDES While every motion picture requires good casting and performance, it is obvious that the successful execution of a til-rn depends primarily upon its direction. It is the responsibility of our principal, Dr. Arthur C. Sides, to take charge of all productions at .the Central Studio and to see that all goes well within its walls. Dr. Sides has al-ways guided his fourteen hundred students with the utmost wisdom, understanding, and calmness. When necessary, he applies firmness, but it is always tempered with his sulhtle and ref laxing sense of humor. Dr, Sides, a native of Massachusetts, was gradu- ated from Dartmouth College. He received his Doctor's degree in pedagogy from New York University in 1914. Two years after his arrival in Bridgeport in 1916, he was teaching mathef matics and history at C. H. S. i91 After having returned from World War I, in which he served with a Psychological Company, Dr. Sides assumed the position of assistant prinf cipal of Central. He filled this position from 1918 to 1940. At tihat time he became acting principal ta-king over the post vacated by Mr. James C. Moore. In 1942 he reached his present status of principal of Central High School. Dr. Sides' constant interest in the personal wellfbeing of each of hi-s students and his generous advice and assistance have won him t-he gratitude of the entire student body. We of the 1947 graduating class wish to take this opportunity to thank Dr. Sides for his brilliant and sincere efforts in -training us to be the citizens we should be. His leadership has been invaluable to us. PRODUCERS N .- CLUB ADVISERS Reading from left to right.: Seated-.Lucy S. Curtiss, Miss Mildred Lovejoy, Miss Julia C. Farnam, Mr. Nelson S.

Littell, Doreen SENIOR LETTER Dear Frank: As we come closer to the end of our high school career, we ought to stop for a few minutes to recall some of the pleasures we have had as Centralites. As I sat studying listlessly in 105 fMiss Fall thought I had a case of spring feverj , Irecalled that memorable day in September 'of 1944, when we entered into the majestic abode of Central. As I wandered bewildered through the halls I could hear the upperclassf men saying to each otfher, Yipe, what young squirts! Well, if these same persons could see us today, they would realize that we're older now. After struggling valiantly through geometry, Shakespeare, Latin, physics, and the many other enjoyable pastimes of the sophomore and junior years, we finally reached the summit of our high school career, our senior year. Remember the assemblies we had, or did you fall asleep also. I'll never forget that community singing we had under the leadership of George Campbell. The student body sang so well that I understand that Mr. Bono wanted to sign up the entire group and go into competition with Fred Waring. just imagine Mr. Ernest Bono and his Thousand Centralites. You know things like that could put radio back fifty years. We also had some swell speakers at our assemblies. Remember Mr. Cameron Beck. Well, he must have been a mind reader. I was as hungry as a horse that morning, no ref marks please, and Mr. Beck must have realized t'his since he threw me a box of crackers before he finished his speech. Now that I come to think about it, I wonder how he found out that I liked Uneeda biscuits. I ' The Blossom Dance was certainly quite the affair. Remember how it was adver' tised? On all the blackboards they wrote: Daisies won't tell, but your senior represen' tative will. I understand that's what made Nora Prentiss keep quiet. Well, there goes the buzzer, and I'd better be off to first period. Only a few more days, and we'll be receiving our sheepskins, and our high school life will come to a close. Now let me see, what's the date of the War of 1812? Your pal forever, EARN EST P. S. I understand we're having mutton for our Senior Banquet. I 11 I l!JSl:f,msv-g.

SOPHOMORE CLASS Literally translated from the original Greek, the word sophomore means a wise fool .- We are of the opinion that, while the sophomores who arrived in Central this September are not yet sages, they are nevertheless far from foolish! They have shown through action, that they are more than capable of planning their activities and K f Adviser-Miss Golias. U61 projects, and of executing their plans in such a way that we have become confident of their possif bilities as a future graduating class. The assured success of the Class of 1949 will be due not only to the individual asbilities of the members of tihe class and to the guidance of their leaders in Central, but also to the training they received before entering the portals of this build' ing.. Most of the present sophomores attended freshman classes at Congress junior High School. The sophomores owe that portion of their edu' cational development to the teachers of Congress as well as to its principal, Miss Agnes Collins. Having arrived in Central in September, the sophomores immediately launched their year's activities with the election of six of their popular classmates as officers. The s.udents chosen were as follows: James Roche, presidentg Gloria Def Pietro, vicefpresidentg Barbara Carlson, secretary, Patricia Kelly, treasurer, and Joyce F'letcher and Paul Ambrose, directors of social activities. Miss Mary Golias filled the indispensable role of claw adviser. The first social event of the sophomore calendar was a Christmas party, wliich was held in the gym. Paul Ambrose and Joyce Fletcher, the class direct' ors of social activities, were the cofchairmen. The program was highlighted by the singing of Christ- mas carols, the distribution of free refreshments, and dancing. The widely-publicized and highly successful 'Shamrock Hop was held in the gym on Friday, March 14. 'Music for dancing was provided by the Harmonies Trio, a group of boys who repref sent Central talent. The entertainment was truly novel. It featured a thrilling fencing exhibition by Dick Shelby and Dorothy Rivnack. Gloria DePietro, vice-president of the Class of 1949, was -the general chairman for this affair. As t-he yearbook goes to press, the sophomores are planning an outing to take place in June. The Class of 1949 are grateful to Miss Golias for her guidance. They also wish to express their appreciation to all ot-hers who have in any way contributed to their success.

E 17 1 SUPPORTING PLAYERS JUNIOR CLASS This above all, to thine own self be true. Guided iby this worthy precept, the Junior Class set out under their blue-and'silver 'banner to fulfill their am'bitious production schedule for the season of 194647. They have achieved a most successful year under the supervision of Miss Evelyn Chohat, their efficient adviser. Heading the supporting players were: George Buttery, presidentg Laura Garamella, vice-presif dent, Evangeline Diamond, secretaryg Arnold Mayer, treasurerg and Gerard Reilly and Betty Wynne, directors of social activities. ' Entertainment at the iirst class meeting was provided by Barbara Voorhees and Tilda Tenaglia, who sang Jalousie g and 'by Lois Winnick, who presented a recitation entitled, How Truth Will Out. The class song, written by Betty Carlson and sung to the tune of Old Man River , was introduced for the first time at this meeting. The Juniors were further en' tertained by motion pictures taken at their Rye Beach trip of the previous summer. The Class are keeping a motion picture record of all their events.

Betty Wynne Boys' Dir. Soc. Activity, Gerard Reilly February 14 found the Juniors feting St. Valentine with a semififlormal dance. Odette Bernard acted as chairman of this Coronation Ball. The dance was held in Central's own gym, which was gaily decorated for the occasion with bright balloons and hearts and flowers. Philip Ayer and ,Ioan O'Brien reigned over the festivities as King and Queen. A 'buifet supper and ring ceremony came next on the Juniors' social agenda. The ceremony, which was open to friends and parents, was extremely impressive and fraught with signifi- cance, since it marked the partial transition of the supporting players into stars. The new class rings differ somewhat from those of this year's stars. They are more modern in appearance, having a triple tier surmounted 'by a crest as part of their design. It was decided to retain the design which has been used in recent years. As a fitting climax to their year's activities, the Class of 1948 again traveled to Rye Beach, where they engaged in swimming and other amuse- ments. We feel sure that although their trip took place on the last day of school, the Juniors did not allow their spirits to 'be dampened by the inevitsdble distribution of report cards. l JUNIOR SCHOLARSHIP-LEADERSHIP JUNIOR SCHOLARSHIP-LEADERSHIP .

I 19 I E SENIOR CLASS STARS President Secretary When the present stars of the Central High School Motion Picture Studio were bit players, they set themselves a standard to which they have faithfully held ever since. Their motto, selected in 1945, is Onward ever-backward never. Since launching themselves on their careers as motion picture players, they have never once relaxed in their efforts to make them' selves more than worthy of the name of stars, which they have now attained. The Class of 1947 owes a large proportion of its success to the understanding and helpful co' operation of Miss Marie Flanagan, its untiring class adviser. Miss Flanagan has worked conf stantly with the class officers to make this year's graduates a happy, and active group of students. The seniors are deeply appreciative of her assist' ance, and they are likewise grateful to all those who have extended help of any sort to them during their years in Central. A Pep Dance was the first date on the senior social calendar. 'ElinoryCiccarelli, vicefpresident of the senior class, assumed the role of chairman for this event. Needless to say, A good time was had by all. The annual West Point trip, which had been discontinued during the war in compliance with I Q' 20 Boys' Di r.

Camille Palmer, the senior class secretary, was in charge of the trip. The journey included not only a tour of the Military Academy and a thrilling football game between the Cen' tral Eleven and the West Point Plelbes, but also a delicious turkey dinner and dancing at the picturesque Bear Mountain Inn. Several 'bus' loads of tired 'but happy seniors arrived at Bridgeport late in the evening of November 16. It is safe to say that every one of them will cherish the memory of his never-to-'befforgotten trip. The seniors displayed their histrionic abilities when, on December 13, they presented their pro- duction of Thornton Wilder's wellfknown play, Our Town. By no means an easy play to present to any audience, since the author inf tended it to be produced with practically no scenery and few props, Our Town met with great acclaim from everyone present in the Cen' tral auditorium that evening. Blossom Time , the last informal dance spon- sored by the senior class, was held in the gym on April 18. It was open to the members of all classes. J On June 6 the seniors held their last assembly of the season. As Eclfward Montoni, class presif dent, handed the flag to its new custodian, the president-elect of the class of 1948, many a pros- pective graduate was sadly cognizant of the fact that his joyous high school days were fast coming to an end. The same day, June 6, saw the seniors at the Ritz -ballroom in attendance at the all-im' portant Prom. Nearly everyone was on hand to spend a thoroughly enjoyable evening. Frances Ferraro and Michael Yalcubik, direct' ors of social activities, were the chairmen for the Senior Banquet, iwhich was held on June 16 at the Stratfield Hotel. The Class History, Will, and Prophecy were presented at this time. Graduation, held in june, marked the final stopping place in the itinerary of a 'class that has Adviser-Miss Flanagan witnessed many changes and experienced much since the lbeginning of its journey in September, 1943. The Class of 1947, now venturing forth into a world which we hope will remain free of conflict, manches onward. May it never turn backward in its path, may it always remember the sentiments expressed in its song: From the school upon the hilltop Comes the red and gray. Loyal hearts of faithful classmates On to meet the fray. Onward ever, backward never, Al-ways side by side, To uphold your loving counsel, By your laws abide.

STAGE CREW Since Central's stage is so frequently used, it must receive constant attention. lt is the duty of a hardy group of boys known as the Stage Crew to attend to this work. Under the super' vision of their adviser, Mr. James Lindstrom, and their technical adviser, Mr. Nelson Gordy, the boys have done a very creditable job in keeping the stage always ready for use. The crew, headed by stage manager Albert McCarthy and his assistant, William Brennan, has inaugurated a new system of work this year. Since their duties include managing the loudspeaker system during assemblies, and attending to the stage itself on such occasions, the members of the Stage Crew have decided that they shall be trained indi- vidually for a specific phase of the work. This system, it was found, makes for greater eiiiciency. The melmibers of the Yearbook Staff wish to express their special appreciation to the Stage Crew for their able assistance in the photo' graphing of various clu'bs and other groups. This work was done in addition to their regular duties. AVIATION CLUB Row 1-Left to right: Irene Steindl, Jean Ruzicka, Shirley Light, Mary Brown, Mary Virginia Collins, Anthony Campanaro.

Among the items on the extensive schedule of this nefwlyfformed clulb were the following actif vities: motion pictures concerning flying, a trip to the Bridgeport airport. The cluib meetings, which were held once a week, had as part of their object the study of subjects pertaining to flying, such as navigation, chart reading, the airplane engine and instruf ments, aincraft spotting, and meteorology. The members of the Aviation Club are grate- ful to their adviser, Mr. Irving Perkins, for his guidance and advice in their many activities. CAMERA CLUB Central's camera fiends have had the opporf tunity this year, as in the past, to put their heads CAMERA MEN together over their interesting hoblby. The oflif cers of the Camera Clulb during 194647 were: Joseph Dugan, president, Ginny Unwin, vice' presidentg Vito D'Aiuto, secretary, and Frances Ekatherines, treasurer. The adviser for the group is Mr. Stanley R. O'Meara. Mr. O'Meara has instructed the members of the Camera Clulb in various phases of photo- graphy, including developing, enlarging, and printing. They have had the use of Central's dark room throughout the year. During the school year, they conducted outings on which they took many outdoor pictures. Vacations offered them the chance to practice taking por' traits as well. The highlight of the year was the spring contest in which the best prints taken during the year were entered. The editors of the yearbook wish to express their appreciation to those members of the Camera Club who presented them with photos to be used on snapshot pages. x CAMERA CLUB Row 1-Left to right: Grace Elwood, Morris Zalutia, Georgianna Tarick, Mary Virginia Collins, Harry Henley.

ALLIANCE FRANCAISE Q The students of fourthfyear French, under the capafble guidance oil their adviser, Miss Marjorie R. Bushnell, have formed a group which, during the past year, has affiliated itself with the Federa' tion of French Alliances of the United States and Canada. The receipt of a handsome charter from this organization confirmed the group as a fullffledged chapter. The oflicers chosen by the members were as follows: president, Doris Pomeranceg vicefpresident, Lillian Esnerg secref tary, Marilyn Kaplang and treasurer, Ioan Rapoport. The purpose of the Alliance Francaise as a whole is to promote interest in France, her lan' guage, customs, and culture. The aim of the Central chapter in particular includes also the furtherance of the study of all foreign languages. ln order to help accomplish their aim, the mem' hers of the chapters have presented talks before interested groups, including a panel discussion on the value of foreign languages presented at a meeting of the Maplewood School P. T. A. They have also been interviewed on Mrs. May Brad- shaw Hays' radio program, What's Going On? Several articles written by these students have appeared in the Bridgeport Post and Sunday Herald. In April the members of the Central Alliance held an Open House for other French students. Entertainment and refreshments were provided, not to mention a novel exhibit on things French. The annual food sale was another of their pro- jects. During the course of the year, the students were privileged several times to go to Westport, where they witnessed French movies along with groups of students from other Connecticut schools. The members of the Alliance also went to New York to see Ingrid Bergman in Joan of Lorraine -truly a wonderful experience. The group has undertaken the adoption of a French war orphan, Lucien Millet. They send him regular shipments of food, clothing, school supplies, and personal goods. Joan Rapoport and Eunice Goodman were in charge of this project. The 1947 mem'bers of the Alliance Francaise of Central formed the nucleus of a chapter which they hope will become larger and better as time goes on. At their tea for French war brides, which took place at the end of the year, students who will study third and fourth year French next year were installed as new members. They have the responsibility of carrying on the purpose, spirit, and activities of the Central Alliance next year and during the seasons that follow. May they meet with the success they merit. i661 -Q 1 l l l l 4 l l 1 LANGUAGE CLUB SNAPS TABLEAU FORTUNE TELLER ROYAL COURT SANTA CLAUS? GERMAN CHRISTMAS SI.

SPANISH CLUB The Central High School Spanish Club, under the advisership of Miss Paula Maloit and Miss Miriam Cohen, has enjoyed a colorful and active year as one of the largest language groups of the school. The oilicers heading the club this year were Lois Wollner, president, Virginia Reback. vice presidentg Yolanda Espanol, .selcretaryg Annette Weisman, treasurerg and Barbara Har' vey and Bill Peslak, co-directors of social activi' ties and cofchairmen in charge of programs. The highlight of the year was the Spanish Carnival, which was held in Fefbruary. Bill Peslak acted as chairman for this affair. Work' ing with him were the following com-mittee chair- men: Ruth May Saltman, refreshments, Beverly Mendelson and Joe Kennedy, decorationsg Bar- bara Framson, entertainment, Annette Weisman, ticketsg and Marion Matera, posters. Various booths adorned the gym, which had been gaily decorated for the event. The booths offered such features as a fortune teller, a photographer, games of skill, and souvenirs imported from Mexico. Refreshments included such a unique innovation as doughnuts supplied with handles to facilitate dunking! Entertainment consisted of a skit representing Ferdinand the Bull and the Toreadorg a Spanish dance presented by Yolanda li 68 Espanol and Wallace Capobiancog and dancing for the guests, with music provided by an orchesf tra. The King and Queen of the Carnival were chosen 'by those present. They were Dorothy Demont and Wallace Capobianco. On April 14 the Spanish Club sponsored an assemlbly for the observance of PanfAmerican Day. Soon afterward, on April 18, they held a cake sale in conjunction with the Alliance Francaise. A Radio Workshop sponsored by the Spanish Clulb also held -much interest and experience for various members of the club. The programs were presented monthly under the guidance of a com' mittee headed by Virginia Reback. The Club was honored to have as its guests on one of those broadcasts some of the students from Latin America who are studying at Lauralton Hall. The Workshop, a new feature begun this year, has been very successful and it is hoped that it will be possible to continue the series of broad- casts in the coming years. The Spanish Cluib has also esta'blished corres- pondence with a similar group in San Diego, California, which is in a region of Spanish and Mexican influence. We hope that this corresf pondence will .continue in the future, and that the Spanish Clulb will keep up its good work. l GERMAN CLUB The Central German Club, with Mrs. Carolyn Terwilliger as its adviser, has again spent a very worth-wh-ile year. Its oilicers were: Bernard Bzdick, presidentg Ciro Veneruso, vicefpresidentg Mildred Mital, secretaryg Rose Antonik, treasurf er, and Andrew Gilbride, program chairman. The meetings of the German Club consisted half of business and half of entertainment em' phasizing some phase of German culture. This entertainment often included German music. At one of their meetings, for example, the members of the German Clulb -were privileged to have as their guest Mr. Irving Perkins, who performed selections on the piano from the works of Schubert. Appropriate program notes were pro- vided by the members in the form of background material from the life of .the composer. The German Club has undertaken the care of a thirteenfyearfold war orphan, Arnold Schusser- bauer, who lives in Austria. The members regu' larly send him packages containing food, clothing, and other articles. They hope to continue this project as lon-g as necessary. The main annual event of the German Club is its 'Christ-mas party, which is conducted in true German style. Knecht Ruprechtn, the German equivalent of Santa Claus, was present at this year's party to add cheer to an already gay cele' bration. The initiation of the new members in june is an important event in the German Club. These members, first year students, are installed into the group with fittingly solemn ceremonies. Soon they become well acquainted with the rest of the students in the club, and begin planning for the following year. The German Club has accomplished a great deal this year, botlh within the school and in the care of the war orphan. We hope that its good work will go on and that the already lively interest of its members will continue to flourish. GERMAN CLUB 'Row 1 -Left to right: Richard Simmons, Robert Smith.

The clufb, which has as its adviser Miss Mary Colonnese, was headed by the follow' ing oihcers: president, Frank Palaccinog vice' presidents, Ella Tecca and John Montuorig ref- cording secretary, Dorothy Paternog correspond' ing secretary, Evelyn Roach, treasurer, Theresa Cicalo, and directors of social activities, james Coppola and Camille Palmer. Cn November 9 the members of the Italian Club boarded buses for New Haven, where they attended the YalefBrown football game and were taken on a tour of the Yale campus. They were shown such landmarks as the Yale Sterling Memorial Library and the Harkness Memorial. They also attended a lecture on Italian art at the Jarvis Collection. The Italian Clu'bls program of audiofvisual education featured the presentation of four films: Down from Vesuvius , A Day in Venice , The Story of the Vatican , and The Italian Riviera . A special chorus composed entirely of mem- bers of the Italian Clulb and directed by a former student, Morry Lopinto, furnished programs of Italian Christmas and Easter music at St. Raphael's Church. A timely humanitarian project was undertaken by the members of the clulb this year. They adopted an Italian war orphan who lives in Rome and corresponded with the child, sending pack- ages including food, clothing, and school supplies at frequent intervals. The Christmas project of the club consisted of dressing dolls so as to send them to their orphan. Each of the Italian classes assumed the responsibility of dressing at least one doll. The annual Italian Festival, an event which is eagerly awaited each year by the entire student body, was presented in the Central audiLorium to a capacity crowd. This year it was entitled Easter in Sicily . As this book goes to press, the Italian Club is planning an affair to be held at the end of the year as a means of bringing together the members of the club and of the Senior Class for the last time. It is undecided at this moment whether the event is 'to be a picnic or a skating party. l70l 71 PUBLICITY CRITERION BUSINESS STAFF 'Row 1-Left to right: Vonney Peepas, Linda Tripolone, Katherine Dergo, Marion Matera, Al Celina, Mary Egan.

Duhigg, has appeared eight times during the past season as the oiiicial journal of the Central Studio. Its able editorial board was headed this year by Landon Parker, Mary Spaine, and Phyllis Smith. 'Philomena Derlitz was in charge of the Business Staif, with Norma Allegri as her assistant and Miss Emma L. Magut as their adviser. Circulation was handled by Raymond Herman and Robert Conte, cofmanaf gers, and Mr. Glendon R. Good, adviser. The Art Staff was guided by Mr. Nelson Gordy. The first issue, which appeared on October 23, featured three activities planned by the seniors, namely, the Pep Dance, the West Point Trip, and the Senior Play, Our Townfi Other high' lights of this issue were the Talent Show at which the Musical Organizations raised money to provide robes for their Special Chorus, and the Sophomore reception of the G. S. L. The November 27 issue, presented a review of the football season up to that time and -gave further details about Our Town. U21 The December 18 Criterion carried an article on the Christmas Assembly, at which the stud' ents heard the Robed Choir for the first time. On January 29, readers of the Criterion learned that the junior Class was to sponsor the first social event on its calendar-a semi-formal dance-on St. Valentine's Day. Plans for the Spanish Carnival were also disclosed at this time. The preliminary plans for the Prize Plays were announced in the issue of February 19. This article included not only the names of the win' ning authors and the directors and stage mana' gers, but also a description of the part that the Stage Crew would play before, during, and after the presentations. This issue also recorded the awards which were made to several girls in the commercial Course for their achievements in secretarial work. The March 26 issue contained a list of the Barnum Essay topics and the eligibility list. An article dealing with the forthcoming Spring Concert also appeared, accompanied by a cut of the Robed Choir. Plans for the seniors' Blossom Time dance were announced. The April Criterion featured the Prize Plays. This issue was particularly noteworthy because it was written exclusively by the juniors, who had been groomed throughout the year for the task of taking .over the reins of editorship during l947'48.

YEARBOOK We whose eiforts have produced the yearbook you are now reading, can sit back at last and breathe a deep sigh of satisfaction. We have finally presented you with the fruit of our labor, and we sincerely hope that it meets with your wholefhearted approval. In any case, we have endeavored to give you a yearbook which you will enjoy reading now and which will also serve to remind you in the future of your four eventful and-we trust-pleasant years in Central. Uncbelievable as it may seem, work on this book was begun as far back as September and it I 74 did not even relax until quite late in the year. In fact, the circulation staff was in full operation up to the last moment before you received your copy of the Commencement Criterion. We wish particularly to acknowledge the inf valuable services of three faculty members with' out whose assistance we would have been unafble to publish the yearbook. They are Miss Clara P. Barnum, Faculty Adviser for the yearbookg Mr. Glendon R. Good, Circulation Directorg and Mr. Nelson Gordy, Art Director. Many of the student workers whose pictures do not appear here were extremly helpful in many details. Diana Fine, as chairman of the quotations committee, contributed many original ideas to this phase of the work. The typing com- mittee was indispensable to us. Teresa Verrilli was chairman of the group, which included: Adeline Berger, Roberta Chase, Florence Dalto, Lee DeVellis, Frances Ekatherines, Selma Feld, Dolores Gennamore, Marilyn Jordan, Barbara Harvey, Jean Marchetti, Kathryn Platt, Erwin Tepper, Florence Snow, Annette Weisberger, and Stasia Wielk. The snapshot committee was also very import- ant to the success of the yearbook. Students who served on this committee were: Virginia Collins, Florence Dalto, Josephine DeSiena, Ela- mira Dasilva, Josephine Dierna, William Di' Lunardi, Claire Doyle, Joseph Dugan, Mary Dwyer, Mary Egan, Ruth Kuehn, Peter Ruseski, Evelyn Smith, Olive Stivers, Erwin Tepper, Eleanor Weinier, Elliot Weismaii, and Pat Whit' lock. Watchiiig and participating in the evolution of a yeanbook is indeed an interesting task, and occasionally a demanding one. All of our work, however, will be amply repaid if you enjoy the finished product as much as we have enjoyed bringing it to you. YEARBOOK BOARD Row 1--Left to right: Gloria Cianifrano, Chm.

FOOTBALL TEAM VARSITY FOOTBALL Starting off the season's hostilities with few veteran players, Central's football eleven found a Norwalk clan too strong an opponent for them. They emerged on the short side of the final score. The Reillymen next opposed Bassick in a contest that also proved disappointing. Alf though they had many scoring opportunities, the Red and Black marred their chances with a series of costly errors and lost by the final score of 2fO. The next battle showed Central in a slightly brighter aspect. The first points of the season were put on their record as they unnerved a Dan' bury team many times in an actionfpacked game before the Hatters finally overwhelmed them. Four days later the Hilltoppers met Roger Ludlowe and were once more turned back. Travelling to Ansonia, the Reillymen felt the impact of their tough opposition, but they never' theless displayed talent in many of their plays. Jules Pereiro tallied for Central in their only scoring of the day against Ansonia's 28 points. As the last half of a doulble header, the Red and Black met Stamford, and, although the losers, sparkled throughout the fray with their 'brilliant oifense. The journey to Greenwich did not end in a Central victory, but it boosted the morale of our hardffighting team. Against one of the state's best comhines, they scored 13 points, the second highest amount racked up against the Million' aires. One of the biggest contests of the year was the game at West Point, where thc Plebes garf nered a victory from the high schoolers. Lou Saccone ran 21 yards for the lone Central tally, Zeke Carroll also turned in an exceptionally fine performance. The team as a whole proved their ability and were rewarded with an invitation to return for next year's campaign. Then came 'the longfawaited Thanksgiving classic. Harding was one of the strongest teams in the district, and Central had not won or tied a single game all season. Yet Captain Charlie Esposito and his teammates won the heart of every fan, and the disappointment and failure of the rest of the year were overshadowed by their brilliant performance in this most thrilling game of their entire schedule. Lou Saccone scored twice and Zeke Carroll added another six points to the Red and Black score. But their efforts did not produce quite good enough a result, and 'Central lost the final game of the season by the heartbreaking score of 19-18.

Next year Coach Ed Reilly and his assistant, Leon Spivaclc, will have a squad boasting many experienced players. Everyone hopes that Central will once more be among Connecticut's top scholastic teams. CHEERLEADERS Under the energetic and capable management of its cofcaptains, Jack Brown and Allen Moorin, the Central cheerleaders have spent a vociferous year in encouraging our football team with their great variety of cheers, both old and new. The boys were present at the majority of our outfoff 1 town games, as well as those at home. They participated in Pep Assemblies: they also accom' panied our team to West Point. Realizing -that precision both in movement and in enunciation is necessary to the success of a cheer, the squad has practiced untiringly to perfect their technique. One of the year's sensations was a new cheer called ChickeryfChick . Its lyrics were taken directly from those of a current song hit. The contagious enthusiasm of the cheerleaders of C. H. S. was largely responsilale for that of the fans at our athletic contests. May they continue to add life and sparkle to these events. CHEERLEADERS Row 1-Kneeling: Jack Brown, Allen Moorin.

The boys played a lengthy schedule of twenty games, each of which was an im-portant stepping stone to dis' tinguished honors. Shot artist Morris Felis and dribbling expert George Saccone, cofcaptains, received stout sup' port from their capable teamfmates, Lou Saccone, George Poulos, and Ralph Pacelli. Added to this dependable five were Bob Shannon, Jules Pereiro, Goose Vieira, Ed Pasquella, Weenie Howe, and Jim Bethea as commendable reserves. The Hilltoppers opened the doors to a success' ful '47 campaign by walloping Bullard-Havens 5'1f24, Fairfield Prep 61f16, and Stamford 35f22. The next engagement with our archfrivals, Bassick, did not prove so fruitful as the Green and White edged out our confused Lyon Terrace gang by a score of 29-28. It was only in the last seconds of play that the opposition accomplished this feat, but it was nevertheless a loss for Cen- tral. It was, in fact, a defeat which instilled our boys with a new zest. A weak Norwalk clan was the first victim when we outfscored them 5 7-36. The Central' ites went on a wild spree, downing Fairfield twice, 4O'25 and 53f22, Fairfield Prep 5848, Danbury 52f2S, Harding 48f25, and Greenwich 5224. It was sweet revenge to top the Green' wich tossers who had set back Coach Reilly's team 38-36 in an important county fray the year before. Our basketeers continued their winning spree by beating BullardfHavens 65f34, Stamford 65' 33, Bassick 36f25, and Norwalk 67f26. Central VARSITY BASKETBALL TEAM Row 1-John Stamos, Ass't Mgr.

Meeting Harding in a contest for the capture of city laurels, Central beat the East Siders 52451. They subsequently defeated Stratford 5743, and Jr. College 44-42. In their tfinal game of the season, the first in the state tournament held in the New Haven Arena, Central met defeat at the hands of Nauf gatuck by the tragic score of 4140. This hard' toftake disappointment ended one of the most eventful and hopefful seasons ever witnessed by the Central baslceteers and their fans. J. V. BASKETBALL The year 1947 'boasted one of the most out- standing Jayvee teams that Central has ever seen. Tommy Pelham, a mainstay from last year, was crowned captain, and together with his mates opened the season with three consecu' tive victories over BullardfHavens, Fairfield Prep, Q81 and Stamford. The boys' first defeat came albout when a Bassick squad outplayed the Jayvce quintet to earn a 34427 victory. From then on the Red and Black buckled down to some hard playing and snatched eight consecutive wins from Norwalk, Fairfield Prep, Danbury, Green' wich, Harding, Bullard'Havens, and Stamford. The Centralites had been rolling along in splendid Fashion until they bumped into Bas- sick's Green and White once more. They were defeated 30-20. The following fray with Nor' walk was forfeited. The boys then met Fairfield, won 2043, and Went on to continue their fine record by trouncing Darnbury 44f27 in the best game of the season. The tussle with Harding netted them a 3249 victory. The Greenwich game was cancelled on account of bad weather. The boys shone in their next game with Strat' ford, which they won by the score of 47f13. This incidentally, was the highest score they had attained all season. 1 :- Wk? x,z 5 sf 9 is fQl10 ft? x xX Il 4. 4532 ..j' 9091 I BOWLING TEAM Row 1-Left to right: Bill Mullins, Bill Panton, Buddy Ross, Jimmy Balakai' Row 2-William Brennan, John Ku cky.

ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION The Athletic Association of Central High School, under the supervision of Mr. Lester Silf verstone, has once more completed a full and satisfactory year of work. Acting as special as' sistants to Mr. Silverstone were Joan Rapoport and Eunice Goodman. In addition to nlling this position, joan and Eunice have also had the distinction of being the first girl sportswriters the monthly Criterion has ever had on its staff. This year's Athletic Association oflicers were: Charles Esposito, presidentg Norma Bove, vice' presidentg Claire Caputi, secretaryg and Bob Shannon, treasurer. 85 The first highlight of the year's activities was che football game between the Central eleven and the West Point Plehe team. The Central players accompanied the Seniors on their annual trip to the military academy, meeting the Plelaes on their own gridiron. Busses were provided for the team, as well as for the band and cheering squad. The A. A. plays a part: in the life of Central High School which is certainly indispensable. After all, what high school student could exist for long without sports? l TENNIS BASEBALL As this yearbook goes to press, no base-bali games have yet been played.

CHHESS TEAM The Central Chess Team, under the leadership of Mr. James Lindstrom, has spent a year which, although it was not entirely successful from the standpoint of its rank in the Interscholastic Chess League of Southern Connecticut, was nevertheless very enjoyable. Central did make a fairly good showing -throughout its full schedule, although our team was unable to maintain its former standing. Two members of the team, Jerry Gordon and Bernard Bzdick, areito be commended 'for their individual records They have conquered the players opposing them in every game they have played for two seasons. The members of the Chess Club as well as those of the team express their appreciation to their ad' visor, Mr. Lind-strom, for the advice and guidance he has 'given t-hem all year. We know that it will be largely through his efforts that the team will regain its former rank among the chess teams of southern Connecticut. i921 CHESS TEAM Sitting-Left to right: Bernard Bzdick, Marilyn Davis, Jack Grogins.

The club, with Miss Clara P. Barnum as adviser, has the following oiiicers: president, Donald Cousinsg and secretaryftreasurer, Gerald Winter. The Stamp Clu1b's major project this year was a stamp auction held in Central. The stamps which were sold were contributed by the members themselves. Outsiders were urged to attend the auction, whic-h was conducted in true professional manner. This group, while not the largest nor the mosi active in the school, is a very valuable organiza- tion to those students who are interested in the collection and study of postage stamps. Phila- telists are among the most ardent -types of hobby' ists in the world. 'Tlhey are always grateful for a chance to meet and discuss their interest.

I BAND Larger and better instrumented than it has been in the past, the Central High School Band, conducted by Mr. Ernest C. Bono, has just com' pleted an extremely active and unusually sucf cessful year. The oiiicers of the band were as follows: Cap' tain, Jack Lopezg First Lieutenant, Milton Rubbg Second Lieutenant, Jordan Lustigg Sergeants. Milton Coates, Joseph Monachelli, Irene Thomaszewski, and Charles Ferrett. The band's main activity, which it carries on for the entire year, is playing at school assemf blies. It also performs at football games. This year the band was privileged in accompanying the Seniors on their annual trip to West Point, for the purpose of cheering on the Central foot- 'ball team in its contest with the West Point Plebes. The band has changed the content of its prof grams somewhat. Its repertoire during the past year has consisted not only of field music, but also of a considerable proportion of concert music. The mem'bers of the band, along with the other divisions of the Musical Organizations, participated in the Central Spring Concert. Two members of the band, Milton Robb and Irene Tomaszewski, were honored in being selected to go to Hartford to play in the State Band. This group of students also performed in Bridgeport during the week of the teachers' con- vention. Special mention is due the two band managers, Mollie Lamberg and Stuart Levin, for their un- tiring efforts in taking care of band business and in keeping the uniforms in good condition.

Many special privileges were extended to members of the Musical Organizations this year. Groups of about 150 students travelled to New York to see performances of Gounod's Faust and of L'La Traviata' at the Metropolitan Opera. These students had first been given lessons in the appreciation of these operas by other students of Central. The Met extended another privilege during this season to a small group from Central, includ- ing Miss Ducsay, Miss McElroy, and several students. This group was allowed to witness a rehearsal of Die lvleistersingerf' Five students represented the Central Musical Organizations at a forum at New York, Univerf sity in April. A new addition to the Musical Organizations this year is the rolbed choir. Money for the robes was raised at a talent show held in October in Central's auditorium. The show was a sucf cessg it insured the purchase of robes for the seventy members of the chorus. This group made its debut at the Christmas Assemlbly, where it sang Christmas hymns and carols. It presented another Christmas program at the United Church in conjunction with other high school choruses. It returned to the church on Febru' ary 9 to sing at a meeting of the Com-munity Forum.

Most of these girls have had at least one year's experience in the library previous to that of the past year. The members of the library squad were: Marguerite Alagno, Norma Allegri, Susan Boschetti, Irene Farkas.

CJFFICE WORKERS ' The administration of so large a movie studio as Central is, needless to say, a tremendously complicated task. We are fortunate, however, in having the services of a number of girl assistants. These students alternate in spending their free time in the office, where they help to keep school affairs running smoothly. It is partly through their efforts that Central is managed with such efficiency. The willing cooperation of the ,two office secretaries, Miss Harriet Kanarek and Miss Sylvia Moskowitz, should be gratefully acknowf ledged as a major factor in the success of the sys- tem used in the Central High School oflice. in OFFICE WORKERS Row 1-Left to right: Dorothy Di- Nardo, Doris Pomerance, Violet Polena, Virginia Di Rienzo.

RED caoss ' The Central branch of the Red Cross -has had a successful year under its new adviser, Miss MERRIE SCRIVENERS The Merrie Scriveners, a branch of the Girls' Student League, has been in existence since the year 1926. The organization, which consists of one representative from each girls' home room, has as its chief duty the sending of letters to the homes of girls who are absent because of illness or bereavement. These notes serve not only to cheer the girls, but also -to keep them in touch with school affairs until their return to Central. Anf other responsibility of the Merrie Scriveners is helping in the organizing of homefroom welfare projects. The Merrie Scriveners are headed by the secref tary of the G. S. L., who, during the past year, was Patricia Tyer. Dean Julia C. Farnarn, the adviser for .t-he G. S. L., also acts as adviser for this smaller division of that group. 'She has al' ways been extremely helpful to the Merrie Scrivef ners as Well as to the other members of the G. S. L. Shirley Tobiasen. Representatives from each home room worked capably and cooperated in making every drive more than worthwhile. These drives included contributions to the junior Red Cross, as well as the filling of Christmas boxes to be sent to the blind veterans and the at' tendants at the Avon School for the Blind, Avon, Connecticut. Boxes were also sent to Europe to aid the child victims of the war. About 87 boxes were filled during this last drive -for the children overseas. The fadt that the war is over does not indicate a diminution in the desire to aid any other per' son who needs assistance. The students of Cen' tral have shown, through their Red Cross, that theirs is still the spirit of selflessness and generf osity.
