C. S., B. S., and M. A. She deserves credit and thanks for the splendid job she is doing in refining the ore to produce the 'Ltruc metal. J DR. ARTHUR C. SIDES While mining for gold requires a high standard of work and excellent cofoperation, it is obvious that the successful operation of a gold mine de- pends upon an efficient mine executive. The Oren of the Central High School Mine has been very fortunate to have, as the head prospector, Dr. Arthur C. Sides, who is doing an excellent job in removing the impurities from the gold, and producing the true metal. A native of South Groveland, Massachusetts, Dr. Sides is a graduate of Dartmouth College. He received his Doctor's degree in Pedagogy from New York University in 1914. He came to Bridgeport on February 14, 1916, and for two years from the date of his arrival, he was an ex' cellent miner in .the C. H. S. Mine, teaching his' tory and mathematics. Dr. Sides served in the first Psychological Company of the army during the first World War. Returning from the war in December 1918, he was made Assistant Principal of Central until September 1940, at which time he became Acting Principal, .taking over Mr. Moore's vacated position in the mine. Then, in 1942, he received his commission as Head Prospector, thus be- coming the principal of the C. H. S. Mine. Dr. Sides' understanding and helpful guidance in dealing with the problems of each student and his generous advice and assistance have won him the gratitude of the entire student body. We of the 1949 graduating class would like to take this opportunity to express our thanks to Dr. Sides, without whose invaluable leadership and sound advice, we would not have altained the standard that we have today. lil HMINERSH MORNING FACULTY Row 1 left to right: M1'.

I7Il AJWBWHQW EDICATION CZQQE dedicate this hook to the classroom teachers of Central whose ready wit and relentless Search for sound reasoning have helped sharpen our minds. NN-Nmyik W handed the flag to its new custodian, president elect of the class of '50, many prospective graduf ates were aware of the fact that this was the last time their eyes would ever salute the flag as a united class. The following day found the seniors at the Ritz Ballroom in attendance for that long awaited Prom. With John Scinto as chairman, this most important dance was thoroughly en' joyed by all. On June 16, the senior banquet held at the Stratiield Hotel, was the scene for the reading of the Class History, Will and Prophecy. Graduation, held on june 23, marked the final stopping place in the high school lives of these gold nuggets. May they ever Marcli Unward and Upward, Still Achieving, Still Pursuing.

The plot of the play is the attempt of the Crochet family to raise enough money to purchase a house to go with their beau' tiful doorstep that had been fished out of the Mississippi River. Mrs. Crochet has her hands full when two of her children leave home and her daughter's jealous boyffriend causes trouble and a supposedly rich uncle arrives. She manages to sell her lilies which bring enough money to buy the house. Seniors who played leading roles were: Ed Liska as Commodoreg Janice Kirk as Mrs. Crochetg Barbara Falvey as Evvie Crochetg Irene Steindl 44 SENIOR PLAY B Left to rislhtz Edward Liska Imogene Cranford Shirley Mauzeral Janice Kirk Irene Stiendl Harvey Gochros Barbara Falvey Barbara Snow SENIOR PLAY A Left to riuhi.: Wallace Capobianco Irene Stiendl Bai-lmara Falvey Janice Kirk Imozrene Cranforcl Shirley M2llIZl'I2ll Mike Kourmvtis Violet Polena Gerald Winter Edward Liskn as Topal Crochetg Imogene Cranford and Shirley Mauzeral as Elna and Fleece Crochetg Michael Kouremetis as Arthur Crcchetg Gerald Winter as Mr. Tobing Wztllace Capobianco as Tayo DeLaf croixg Harvey Gochros as Dewey Crochetg Violet Polena as Mrs. Dupreg Barbara Snow as Mrs. Beaumont Crochetg Kenneth Lundberg as Radio Announcerg and Marie LaRosa as Girl on Radio. The play was under the direction of Miss Estelle McElroy. Central's stage crew, under the guidance of Mr. Lindstrom, did a marvelous job of building a real wooden shack for the 'Crochets and made the set' ting so realistic that The Great Big Doorstep was an allfaround success. il WEST POINT TRIP In the wee hours of October 9, Central High School seniors made ready for their first social event of the year, their long awaited class trip to West Point. Having arrived at Central, there was a merry scramble for a seat in one of the four busses. Teachers assisting Miss Mary Ann Golias, adviser, were Mrs. Hazel Burriss, Miss Mary Rafferty, Miss Bereniee Daniels, Mr. John Cremins, Mr. Ernest Bono, Mr. James Lindstrom, Miss Emma Magut, and Mr. and Mrs. Robert Halstead. Then the happy, singing seniors were on their way to New York. It was one of those truly beautiful New England days, the sky was a deep blue, the sun almost orange, and there was jus: enough wind to fill the air with the first rosyfcolored leaves. Vxfhen the Alexander Hamilton left the dock at 10 o'eloek for its trip up the Hudson, Central students were among its passengers. After care' ful inspection of the boat, everyone found a good seat and settled down to enjoy his lunch as he watched the beautiful scenery along the historical winding river. Ut must be said that many rolls of film were used that day., 45 I i Upon arriving at the West Point Pier, the students dashed up the hill in order to arrive in time to see the Cadet Dress Parade. One could not help but be impressed by the perfect timing of these hundreds of bluefclad cadeis as they carried out the commands of their superior officers. After the parade, students, using the maps passed out by the bus leaders, paired off and be' gan to explore West Point. Among the points of interest were the cadet chapel, museum, and gymf nasium. Fivefthirty came all too soon and it was time to gather at the Cavalry Field and get aboard the busses onee again for the Bear Mountain State Park where the students dined and danced in the lnn's cafeteria until 9 o'elock. Then happy, but fatigued, all tumbled into the busses and headed for home, not stopping until they reached good old Central High, thus bringf ing to a close another chapter in the lives of these seniors. l G-OLD DUST' l THE JUNIOR CLASS Under the advisership of Mrs, Hazel Burriss, the Class of '50 has had a busy year, ably guided by its officers, Frank Della Cave, President, Joan Bennett, VieefPresidentg Louise Dc Simone, Secref tary: joshua Dranoif, Treasurer, and June Zarrilli and john Pinto, Directors of Social Activities. An assembly to introduce the officers to the members of the class was first on tlhe agenda of activities. A short talk by Dr. Sides and some de' lightful entertaiment were highlights of the mectf mg. 4 i f48 JUNIOR CLASS OFFICERS Seated left to right: Joshua Dranoff, Treasurerg Frank Delle Cave.

Not in Picture: Nicky Tiaran The Turkey Trot, a highly successful barn dance, was held on November 5, 1948. During the two weeks preceding the event, Mrs. Burriss and Mr. Raymond Buzak conducted a dancing class in order to instruct the boys who did not know 'how to dance. Thus they helped to en' courage the boys' attendance at class affairs. The climax of the evening was an exciting contest, in which all juniors participated, trying to guess the identity of the mysterious scarecrow who turned out to be Franklin Cooper. The prize awarded to the winner was two passes to the CentralfHarding football game. The next Junior dance occurred on April 22 in the gymnasium. The affair was dubbed, Up In Central's Park, and springflike decorations transformed the gym into an old fashioned park, even to the bandstand. A pale pink wishing well attracted much attention and quite a few pennies. Garlands of flowers, pastel streamers and beautif ful blue trees added to the attractiveness of the gay scene. Strolling among the dancers were gay nineties policemen, assigned to seeing that there were no wallflowers on the benches. Mr. Buzak again tutored the boys in dancing. Cther features of this event were a dance contest that was judged by members of the faculty, and inter' mission novelties between the dances. joseph Bacevycius, a talented class memhr entertained with several solos. The Class of 1950 ended the year in a finan- cially secure position, but much more important is the feeling of solidarity and friendship in its group. Each class event has been well patronized by class members Elections to office became real contests, and the class is proud of the high percentage of participation of class members. The ring ceremony, an important event of every junior's life, took place in june in co' operation with the final Senior Assembly. The last activity of the year, the Rye Beach Trip, took place on the last day of school, June 29. The juniors took charge of this trip, and sophof mores were included in the fun. This ended the many activities which a busy junior Class had sponsored during the year. An active social committee has mapped out tentative plans for a memorable senior year. U91 HHIG-H GRADE ORE SOPHOMORE CLASS Despile the fact that the sophomore class had to undergo a great change when the fire at Congress last year changed the school locale, they have shown the qualities of leadership, sociability, and cofoperation which are essential to every outf standing class. Under the bright Mil banner of purple and white, the sophomores have led an ambitious and interesting year which promises even a brighter career in the future. Advised by Miss Rafferty, and under the able leadership of Cus Karazulus, president, Ann Sin' elair, vicefpresidentg Rose Capasso, secretary, Vv7alteir Cooper, treasurerg and Mary Ann Bitar and Marvin Celfand, directors of social activities, the class of Mil has set its hopes to a lofty goal. Its first activity was a class meeting held in the school auditorium on February 23. The honorary speakers were Dr. Sides and Miss Farnam, who SOPHOMORE CLASS OFFICERS Row 1 fleft to right: Walter Cooper, Treusuur Ann Sinclair, Vice-President. dent: Rose Capasso, Secretary: Marvin Gelfand boy's director of social activities. fx' I MISS RAFFERTY Sophomore Class Adviser spoke on the community services which students should render in youth, so that in the future they may be outstanding citizens, An array of talent was also displayed at this meeting.

Walter Cooper, pianist, en' tertained us by playing the Seville After being so successful in their first activity, the sophomores were anxious to start another. On March 29, a basketball game and dance were held in the school gym. Under the superf vision of the chairmen, the committees did an ex' cellent job in helping to make their Hrst dance a successful one. The committee workers were: tickets, Paul Zacharias, chairman, June Whewtiy, I-Iarold Blanchard, Alice Ochs, Sandra Rosen' zweig, Albert Doorfee, and William Davidseng publicity, Sandra Rosenzweig, chairman, Lois, soj Y Row 2- left to riirht: Mary Ann Betar, girl's director of social activities: Gus Karazulas, Presi- SOPHOMORE REPRESENTATIVES Row 1--left to rifzht: Dorothy K u c k' y, Eleanfxrf Fox, Stanley Miakos, Allieri Doorfee, E z i o Buffallini Sandra Rosenzwieg, Marilyn Miller.

Henri Aubin's orchestra fur' nished the music for this affair. The class was doubly successful, in that the sophomore basketball team, led by Gus Karazulus, won over the junior team, led by Alvin Clinkf scales. As you read this, the sophomore class will be enjoying the annual trip to Rye Beach with the junior and senior classes. By the kindness, understanding, and advice administered by Miss Rafferty, class adviser, the sophomore class members have shown that they are ready and capable of becoming seniors who will be remembered in years to come.

The three plays pref sented were: Robert Art1hur's The Chinese Play Contest day evening, Plate, Sam Lukianuk's Two Wishes, and Erwin Tepper's This House. The highlight of the evening was the awarding of the prizes to the authors, actors, and producing groups. The judges were: William Resko, Mary McGuinness, and Leo Miller. Because the plays contained only three feminine roles, this year the judges alloted only one acting prize to a girl, but three to boys. Irene Steindl and Morton Tenzer won the first acting awards. Donald Raisselis and Roger Vars 'JU won the second and third acting awards repective- ly. Sam Lukianuk was awarded the first author's prize, while the second and third awards went to Erwin Tepper and Robert Arthur. The coveted prize of the New York City trip was captured by the best total production, and on May ll they saw 'Wfhe Mud Woman of Chaillotf' the group presenting Two Wishes for As usual the Prize Play productions had their diifliculties and complications before the show went on, but when the curtain was raised, the audience was enchanted by the performance of tomorrow's actors and actresses.

Ansonia overpowered our boys 40f26 despite brilliant running by Sam Hall, who scored three T.D.'s and excellent passing by John Scinto, who flipped two scoring passes to Hall and one to Ronnie Del Bianco. The upset of the season was almost pulled off by the lighting Hilltoppers, but a crack Stamford team took advantage of a last period fumble and won 14 to 7. Dick Solaz completed 11 of 14 passes in this contest in a great display of marks' manship. Having lost 25 to 7 and 24 to 7 on successive Saturdays to Greenwich and West Haven ref spectively, our weary gridiron warriors girded themselves for the anunal Thanksgiving Day battle with Harding knowing that the Blue and Gold team was a distinct favorite to win. In a surprise reversal of form, the Centralites lived up to their prefseason promise and walloped the East Sidcrs l9fO. Providing the largest margin of victory ever enjoyed by a Central team in the series the score was also the highest ever made by the Red and Black team against Harding. The final outcome of the game was not long in doubt as the big Central line outcharged the Hard' ing forward wall and the Central backfield, led by John Scinto, ran rampant over the hapless East 1 c I ' T9 :ff , 4,h , 'WIN' ' .2 . -'ff - as p N Q g AFT-m1 p' G V . x A if P f 'ii 'ix I .f Q X mi .l0 V kiwi 1qi'i I ' - J 'W ' ' ffaws..

Great line play by Central's forward wall kept the Harding backs bottled up throughout the contest, with the Blue and Gold crossing mid' field cnly once. Central outgained Harding on the ground 188 yards to 42.

Helping out the linesmen were wingmen Don Raiselis, Jim Carroll, and Ronnie Del Bianco. A flock of fine running backs who coordinated their efforts with the power of the line, were al' ways an important factor in keeping all the games exciting. At halffbaek, Sam Hall, Frank Cravino, and John Scinto gained most acclaim while Jim Neary and Ronnie Kearns chipped in with some fine running. Paul Rega and ,loc Lovanio pro- vided smashing strength from the fullback position. The passing attack was brightened alternately by the tossing of lohn Scinto, Dick Solaz, and George Raybe.

ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION An unusually successful year was enjoyed by the Central Athletic Association under the super' vision of Mr. Lester Silverstone. The Athletic Association is always willing to provide enter' tainment for the Central students. ln addition to their regular Pep Assemblies, the Athletic Asso' ciation sponsored an assembly in which they pre- sented a guest musician who played the marimba. Everyone agreed that the musician played ex' ceptionally well. The annual Pep Assembly pref ceding the l'lardingfCentral foouball game was a great success. The students cooperated one hunf dred per cent with the cheerleaders and showed the same response at the game. The entire school body was proud of the uni' forms that the Athletic Association provided for the basketball team. The uniforms consisted of red satin trunks, red jerseys, white sneaks with red laces and white sweat socks. They also prof vided sweat jackets for the boys. A new attraction at our basketball games, to aid the morale of the students as well as the players, was the cheer' leaders. The student body of Central High greatly appreciates the work of the Athletic Association. Can you imagine Central without a football, bas' ketball or baseball team? The association makes it possible for Central to carry on all sports. Officers for the Athletic Association during the past year were: President, joseph fjuicej Miller: VicefPresident, Marge Damianig Secretary, Joan Fraserg and Treasurer, Ronald Kearns. A. A.

BASKETBALL Wiiining the fourth consecutive Fairfield County NA Conference championship, the Cen' tral High basketball quintet enjoyed another suc- cessful season, winding up ranked as the fourth best team in the state. The Red and Black quintet combined height, speed, accurate shooting, and, above all, tremendous fighting heart to surprise everyone by the brilliant style of ball played. Under the cofcaptainship of scrappy guard George Biagioni and deadly shooting Juice Mllier, the squad stanted off poorly but soon gained momentum and surged forward to many victories. Starting forward berths were shared at times, by speedy Sam Hall, big Al Clinkscales, fancy Ronnie Del Bianco, and Miller. The most improved Dlayer on the squad was towering Jim Duke Roche, a standout at center. At guards, Biagioni and Ernie Amaral displayed consistent scoring punch and fine floor generalship. The Central Quintet started the season off with a bang by downing a taller Norwalk combine by a 48 to 44 score in a spineftingling over-time con- test. Ronnie Del Bianco showed the promise of becoming a potent scoring threat by scoring nineteen points. 68 An intensely gratifying victory was won by the Red and Black team on 'December 22 in the armory as it defeated its arch basketball rival, Bassick, by a 4164 score. Forwards Sam Hall and Ronnie Del Bianco led the Reillymen by scoring 28 points between them. The first major upset of the basketball season in this district took place on january 4 in the Central gym, when an inspired Stratford team edged out a one point victory over a favored Central quintet. The final score was Stratford 36, Central 35. It was the first defeat on the home court for at Central team since Fairfield Prep scored a one point victory in December 1945. After being smothered by Hillhouse 4203, Central downed Fairfield by a 3963 count. Greenwich, led by highlyftalented Worthy Patterf son, downed the Red and Black 40 to 30. The Hilltoppers next won a stunning victory over a vaunted Harding quintet in the armory on ,lanuary 18. The Red and Black crushed the Blue and Gold by a 3929 score. Captain George Biagioni and improved James Roche played brilf liant ball for the Hilltoppers. Biagioni led all scorers with 13 points and checked Harding's acc, Packer, to one goal. Controlling both baclcboards, scoring six points, and feeding off from the pivot, big Duke Roche played one of tihe best games of his career. Central next conquered Danbury, Stamford, and Norwalk by scores of 4285, 4087, and 4943 respectively. Bassick was downed by Central 28 to 27 as Alvin Sweetwater Clinkscales put in the winning foul shot after the time of the game had expired. After besting highlyfregarded Danbury, Cen' tral was edged out by Fairfield Prep 3280. The Lyon Terrace five steamrolled Stratford and Greenwich by scores of 5944 and 6640. Central, getting stronger as time went along, then defeated Fairheld and Danbury in refencounters. Again came the allfirnportant game with Hardf ing, but the absence of injured Ernie Amaral and Harding's display of great ball handling and deadly shooting, managed to stop the ever aggresf sive Central quintet by a 4942 score. Central clinched the County Championship by downing a never say die Stamford quintet by a large margin in the last game of the season. For the third time in four years, a highly ref garded central quintet was edged out of the annual fl Q fe ei iff , . 'ii it g v s f A T li T ' xx i ' , Q 1 X 51 ' li XE ax If A X ,,,,,,,, state tournament by one measly point. After de- feating Ansonia 5540 in the qualifying round of the touranament and smashing WiDd'hI'H1 7547 in the quarter finals while being inspired by the magnificent play of rejuvenated Juice Iviiller, the Reillymen lost a heart breaking 47f44 game to New Britain, the eventful tourney victor, in the semifiinal round. This defeat, however, does not dim the Hne showing the team made all year. J. V. BASKETBMLL TEAM Kneeling' Left to iight: Ernie Petrueiano, Ed lie Hankin, Stan I-uby, James Marchetti.

SWIMMING In the matter of impiovemeni, Central's swimf ming teams, supervised hy Coach Donofrio, leave little to he desired. This year the tankmen have picked up to such a degree that they ranked high in this year's state contention. The Central tankmen this year wound up with an overfall percentage of .621 having won five and lost four, The only defeats came at the hands of the best teams in the statef-Hillhousc, Green' wich, Naugatuclz, and Sacred Heart. This fine squad handed defeats to Merideii, and to Harding. After the finish of the season, the New England meet was held. and out of thirtyftwo opponents from six states, Central won fourteenth place. Special mention should he made of Dave Kennell, the team standout for the entire season, Seven lettermen, including Dave Kennell as captain, will he hack for action next year, so that Central will once again provide fine competition for any foe.

Zavory, the music director of hoth the Cen' tral and Bassielc High School hands and orchestras, has done a splendid piece of work in reorganizing the orchestra and training new memhers in enf semhle playing. He has won the respect of the students as a fine director. In Septemher, the orchestra graciously gave up its rehearsal time to the band so that it might pref pare for the footihall season. As soon as the foot' hall season was over, however, rehearsals were resumed during the first period every Tuesday and Thursday, Although the inemlaers of the orchestra have played for many of tihe school assemhlies, their lirst puhlic dehut was made at the Prize Plays. April 1. At that time they were truly a credit to the school. The orchestra is now preparing for the Spring Concert. The selections to he played will proh- ahly he a Russian Choral. a Suite, and a Follctune. At the same time that the memhers are rehearsing for the concert. they are preparing for the Music Awards assembly. The orchestra? school year will end with a perv- formance at the Senior Assemlily and on Gradua' tion night. THE MUSICAL ORGANIZATIONS One of the largest and most active groups in Central High School is the Musical Urganization which consists of the robed choir, the girls' glee club and the boys' glee club all of which are under the direction of Miss Ella M. Ducsay. There is also the band and orchestra which are under the leadership of Augustus Zavory. The freshmen chorus plays an important role in our concerts and it is conducted by Helen Gaffney. The officers of the Musical Organizations are James Roche, presidentg Norma Verrilli, vice' prcsidentg joan Corbin, treasurerg Violet Polena, recording secretaryg Sophie Volaitis, correspond' ing secre.aryg Ann Doyle, Victor Moulcart, and ,lean Tescli, program chairmen. In September these 'officers planned a fine and ambitious year. Among its many activities, the organization started its year with the annual talent show which gave many new students a magnificent opportunity 'to display their abilities and gave many old students a fine chance to bring out their dormant talents. It was a great success! This catalog of talent is very valuable to the organization in many respects. The Musical Ur- ganizations meet twice a month, and the program chairmen always offer good entertainment. At this time the newly discovered talent is used. The group is invited out on many occasions during the BAND Row lgLeft to right: Valentine Monzuli, Natalie Kaplan, Fred Stern, Frank Ciambriello, Irene Tomaszewski, Ronald Bedford, Harry Tesfani, Virginia Daly, Anily Meldnn.

The talent is valuable, too, for other advisers in the school for their activities during the year. On December 23 the organization presented the traditional Christmas assembly for the entire sehool. Some of the former students attended the aifair and were quite pleased. During the year the organization introduces many outstanding professionals in the field of f84 music. This year it presented Donald Seott Morrison, pianistfharpsiehordist, who explained the origin and construction of the piano and the harpsiehord. He also dressed in the costume of early musicians and eomposers like Baeh and Chopin, He played many Bach fugues and a few works of Chopin. Switching to the modern era, Mr. lvlorrison rendered his arrangement of Rhap' sody in Blue and some other eompositions of George Gershwin, l Joining hands with the Players' Club, the Music Organizations presented Piero Pierotis who sang Stout Hearted Men from the 'iChocolate Soldier . Dressed in the garb of the Shakespeare ian character Mr. Pierotis sang an excerpt from Verdi's Otello . One of the biggest activities, to which all the members look forward, is the trip to the Metro' politan Opera House in New York City. This year on January 14 the group saw DoniZetti's Lucia di Laniermoorn which both entertained and educated the music studen.s. Two more of the outstanding activities are the annual Spring Concert and the Musical Awards Assembly. At the Musical Awards Assembly the students of Miss Duesay's advanced music classes play their original compositions. Then awards are given to the members of the band and orches' ffll. The band, of course, is always at the ball games giving that extra touch of school spirit. Now the members of the Musical Organizations wish a happy and successful year to the new slate of officers and the succeeding organizations. THE CONCERT PROGRAM l. Orchestra 2.

ROBED CHOIR The Robed Choir is a select groupg the memf bers of which are chosen carefully by Miss Ducsay and the executive board. This group consists of eightyffour voices. During the year, this choir is called upon for many outside engagements. The first of these was the Elksl Ivlemorial Service. This gives the students an opportunity to meet some of the city's outstanding business executives, a fine and appref ciativc group of men. As part of its Christmas accomplishments, the choir entertained the patients at both Bridgeport and St. Vincent's Hospitals by singing Christmas carols through the corridors. The choir also per' formed at United Church on December 15 for the Christmas Carol Festival with the other high schools of Bridgeport. The choir was invited to sing at St. Georges Episcopal Church on the evening of January ll. lf was an impressive performance. Other engagements of the group were at the Lions Club meeting in the Stratfield Hotel, and at a Y. M. C. A. inusicale. The biggest task for the Robed Choir is the state music festival at which all the best choirs in the state of Connecticut participate. The choirs l E86 are judged and marked on interpretation, quality, and many other technical points. This year the fes.ival was held at Stamford on April 8. Each ycar the executive board takes a trip to the lvletropolitan Cpera House to witness a dress re' hearsal of an opera. This year the performance being rehearsed was Verdi's Falstaff . On june 10, which is Barnum Day, after the big parade is over and all the Bridgeporters are congregated at Seaside Park, the Robed Choir will sing many circus songs. The children of some of :he elementary schools will do folk dances, and the choir will sing the accompaniment for one dance number. Last of all we find the seniors standing on the platform in their caps and gowns listening to the various speeches and solemn ceremony. At this time the choir and soloists perform at school for the last time. and the entire class sings the class hymn composed by two members its sad farewell to a wellflovcd school. These activities could not be accomplished with' out the organi:ation's fine directors and cooperaf tive and energetic members who have a spirit that is unsurpassablel J CONSTRUCTION G-ANG STAGE CREW Thank God for the stage crew , an expression which has undoubtedly been uttered by many ll harrassed director, comes as close to describing its importance as any statement could.

GERMAN CLUB This year, the German Club of Central High School, under the able guidance of Mrs. Carolyn H. Terwiiliger, had a most active and successful year. Assisting Mrs. Terwilliger in the prepara- tion of a full hour program for the meetings of the club, held once a month, were President, jay Lusligg Vicefipresident, Marvin Gelfandg Seeref tary, Louise Foehrenbachg Treasurer, Erwin Tepper, and Program Director, Phillip Kaplan. These oilicers carried on the business of the club. ln addition to the regular business portion of the meetings, most of the time was devoted to the acquiring of a social, cultural, and historical back' ground of the German language in order to under' stand and use the language. It was toward this goal that each of the programs was planned. In the social phase, the club held its annual Christmas party in December at which two plays about Christmas were presented, and the age old Christmas carols were sung by the entire company. This spring was the bicentennial of the birth of Goethe, the most famous German poet of all time. To commemorate this event, the German Club held a seminar on the life and works of Goethe. 94 The highlight of this yearis activities was a trip, taken by the entire club, to Yale University to see an exhibit concerning Goethe, and to see the entire tirst part of Goethe's immortal, dramatic play. Faust , acted in English. The German Club is, indeed, thankful to Mrs. Carolyn Terwilliger for having given us this opportunity for enhancing German and World culture. our enjoyment of and Goethe events entertaining and inf members attended. However, the Christmas were only two of the many formative programs that the A murder mystery was presented in German at one meeting, a Twenty Questions quiz was conducted at anotherg and the inseparable Gerf man Quartet composed of Philip Kaplan, Herman Bailer, Marviii Gelfand, and Stanley Block was on hand to entertain at every meeting. It can be truly said that a social club, gathering for a purpose, does twice as much for an individual as an individual does for himself. The German Club certainly proves this, and we sincerely hope that its excellent work will be expanded and earf ried on for many years. l ea Uialian Club Sayingl ITALIAN CLUB Eager to make a study of Italian culture as represented in traditional folk songs, dances, costumes, and folk lore, this active club meets on the second Monday of each month under the direction of Miss Sadie Patricia Costa. The pur' poses of the club are threefold: cultural, social, and charitable. The group is open to all members of classes in Italian. This year the club's numerous activities began with caroling in the halls of Central at Christmas time. On December 10, a Christmas party was held in the girls' cafeteria with dancing, singing, and refreshments. Next on the agenda was partif cipation in the program, An Evening at the In' ternational Airport, held at the Y. W. 'C. A. with members of the club dressed in native cosf tumes, singing the ever popular La Spagnolof' 'O Marianellof' and Fioriri Fiorellof' In 'addi' tion each class of Italian presented an individual program for the entertainment of .the other mem' bers. Cn St. Valentinels Day the first year Italian students gave a program which featured exchange of valentines, selection of a King and Queen ef Hearts, and a comedy skit entitled Il Dentistam fThe Dentistj. In the cast were Leonard Marella, Michael Spinelli, and Antoin' ette De Luca. Anthony Carney entertained the group with his accordion, and Joan Scanzillo and joseph Baccvycius were soloists.

In the cast were: Caroline Pieeolello, Margaret Falco, joseph Luciano, Elvira Palumbo, Paul Carbone, Vincent Vitale, Sam Gintoli, Monte Tiberio, Clelia Verrelli, and Louis De Girolamo. The second year students provided entertainment for the dance held on May 14 at the Y. W. C. A.

Taking part in Cinderella were: Gloria De Pietro, Tom Scanzillo, Rita Giampaolo, Virginia Federici, Elizabeth Pavia, joseph Eiorello, John Pasanelli, Lorraine Vallone, Clelia Verrelli, and Robert D'Ausilio, The characters in Red Riding Hood were portrayed by: June Di Renzo, John Pavia, Jane De Biase, Ida Ciotti, Dolores Lopinto, and Frank Ciambriello, Music for dancing was provided by the popular Starlighters.

CERVANTES CLUB The Cervantes Club is a branch of the national honor organization composed of students who are eager to increase their cultural knowledge of Spain and all Latin American countries. The pref requisites are a mark of 85 or better and a serious interest in ihe work of the organization. The twoffold purpose of the club is cultural knowledge and service. The flower of the club is the red carnation, and the flag known as4La Bandera de la Raza--is the clu'b flag, symbolic of the cultural and linguistic unity of all Spanish speaking countries. The organization is under the supervision of Miss Paula G. Maloit. The officers chosen are: President, Antonio Claveria, Vicef President, Nicky Taraiang Secretary, Adele Plat' Lek, and Treasurer, Laura Soares who are of the original group. New members were initiated at a candleflight ceremony held on February 17 at the Y. W. C. A. The group was honored with the presence of Miss Elizabeth Roche, principal of Garfield School, who has just returned from a year of graduate s.udy in Argentina. She stressed the value of the study of foreign languages. The meetings are held once a month in the homes of the members. Since one of the purposes of the club is to encour- age the use of the Spanish language, English is forbidden at the meetings. THE CAMERA CLUB The Camera Club started the year with meet' ings in which various types of cameras were described, and the advantages and disadvantages of each were discussed. There were also demonf strations of color slides and a lecture by one of the more advanced members on composition. This was followed by a discussion. Early in the fall, members went on an outing to Beardsley Park. The day was an excellent one for photographic aetivityfthe chrysanthemums were in bloom, the clouds were picturesque, and a beautiful sunset gave those with color film an opportunity to obtain striking effects. Much interest was shown by the pupils and faculty in the exhibition of prints, made by mem' bers of the club, which was held in the main corrif dor. Many of these pictures were taken on the outing at Beardsley Park. Another activity in which members showed inf terest was a portrait session. The club has ob' tained permission to use a room off the stage as a portrait studio. Members experimented with different arrangements of lights, and some excel' lent portraits resulted. Before our studio can be really effective, the club will have to obtain addif tional equipment. f96l ,I THE EXHIBITDRSH l VISUAL AIDS CREW Standing: on left: Mario DelVecchin, Victor Ferrara, Robert Brandz, Charles Ciambriullo, Robert Armour, Eugene Gallucci.

AUDIO-VISUAL AIDS Excellent results have proven the value of audiof visual education. Keeping up with the times, Central has endeavored to facilitate more rapid learning in the class rooms by the use of various audiofvisual aids. Such materials as maps, motion pictures, records, slide films, and strip films, while undoubtedly enhancing our knowledge of various subjects, also help us to enjoy our lessons and sec them in the light of their meaning to us. The use of such equipment obviously entails the use of further and more complicated apparatus, namely, sixteen millimeter, eight millimeter, and S. V. A. slide and motion picture projectors, automatic and manual record players, a recordio machine with which to cut records, a wire recorder, and a loud speaker system primarily used for auditorium programs. Naturally, maintaining and using such a large assortment of diversified materials necessitates a large crew. The crew leaders are Vincent Duva, Eid Broderick, Charles Ciambriello, Robert Armour, Edward Porter and Raymond Pendagast. CAMERA CLUB The mrmbers of the Cami-ra Club are: H'arvc-y Gochrus.

Thi: topics for the year included: Fire prevention, home safety, pedestrian safety, motorist safety, factory safety, vocational hazards, school hazards, local safety accomplishments, seasonal accidents, and first aid. These topics were then discussed in each of thc Problems classes and in each home room throughout the school. The officers of the Safety Club areg Williani Dubce, president, Barbara Pcllitier, vicefpresident, Barbara Carlson, secretary, and Sheldon Koton, treasurer. The club formed a staff which selected a safety slogan for each month, these slogans were 98 then written on the blackboard of every home room in the school by Ann DcVcllis and Antoin- ette Ferrano.
