RAYMON FRA C S Literary Editors LAURA GASPAR GEMMA TOPAZIO GEORGE OLIVER Circulation Manager WILLIAM MORENO Assistant Circulation Manager Secretary MARGARET PARTINGTON MARGARET DuPONT Alumni Advisor-MISS SISSON Faculty Advisor-MISS CALLAN Editorial Since the last issue of the Green and White was printed, events have occurred which have tended to disrupt the whole aspect of American life. .Almost overnight, we were changed from an easy-going, carefree people to a solid mass of tight-lipped workers, showing herce determination and oneness of purpose-the complete .crushing of the enemy. Factories, which had been employed in the manufacture of comparatively non- essential items, converted to the more grim task of making planes, guns, tanks, ammu- nition and other war essentials, in ever increasing volume, so that we would never again have to say with grief-stricken minds and halting voices, too little, too late. The war was brought much closer to the minds of all of us here at school by the departure of so many of our classmates to serve in Uncle Sam's fighting forces. We came to the realization that to attain that 11ll1Cl1 treasured and much longed-for victory, we must have unity in thought, ideas, and purpose. Unity is the key, and it is through unity and only unity that we will attain the goal so forcefully expounded by President Roosevelt in his famous Casablanca message, the goal for which all the allied nations are striving and will ultimately reach if we all work together-the unconditional sur- render of the enemy!

OUR FUTURE Class Prophecy COLLEGE PREPARATORY It was a beautiful day today and instead of going directly from school to work on the victory shift. I had stopped at the field to watch the team play baseball. I-t was then 2:56 and I had four blocks to go. I started to run, but after running two blocks, my legs began to feel wobbly, and I began to wish I had worn my sport shoes instead ofthe high-heeled ones I had on. I whizzed over the next two blocks, hurriedly showed my identification tag to the watchman, ran into 'the factory and started to rush down the stairs. Oops! My heel got caught and as I floated down, I wished I had grown wings. Bang! Flop! Boom! Boom! Boom! Ah! What a funny noise! Why 'that's the bass drum of the Bristol band which is noisily .playing to celebrate July 4th, 1963. Why that drummer looks familiar. Why- of course-it's JOHN RUGGIERO. He always did like to bang things around. I fol- lowed the band to the common to watch a military drill demonstrated by a group of WAANCS. Their leader's commanding voice sounded familiar so I walked around to get a glimpse of her face. Was I surprised when I saw PHILOMENA MURGO! Whoever would have guessed that such a quiet girl would 'command such an army? After watching the drill, I drifted 'toward the spot where the doll carriage parade was in session. The children were getting 'tired of walking around for the judge was having difficulty in deciding the winner. When at last the lucky girl was chosen, she and her mother walked up 'to receive the prize from the judge. Upon close -inspection I found the mother to be DOROTHY MIOREN and the judge-FRANK CODOLA. He always was interested in babies. But before he could award the prize, another mother rushed u.p shouting that her baby's carriage was better than the winner's, for her hus- band Bill had designed it. By her flashing red hair, I knew immediately that it was EVELYN LEMAIRE. She and the judge started to argue and, knowing that both had rash tempers and that a bitter argument would ensue, I 'decided to move along. I walked toward the side shows, for a loud barker with a familiar voice had attracted my attention. I scrutinized the face for a long time because it seemed familiar but I couldn't place it. He then muttered under his ibreath, That makes fifty-no, sixty- yes, fifty. I knew immediately it was ERNEST FREDERICK, still arguing to himself. I thought surely he'd be admiral of the Navy by now. His loud shouts persuaded me to enter and see the lady sword swallower. Upon entering, I saw the woman, her mouth wide open in the process of swallowing! a sword four feet long. Her tonsils looked very familiar so I tried to catch a glimpse -of her face. No-it can't be. But, yes, it is-MARGARET DePONTE. I always thought she'd use knives in her medical career, but hardly in 'the gentle art of sword swallowing. After a few more swallows, the routine became monotonous so I moved on. On the next small tent were huge posters telling of the drama being presented inside. The play was Abraham Lincoln so I bought a ticket and went in. There was Mrs. Lincoln reprimanding the President for wearing his old hat. Why, Mrs. Lin- coln-it's EILEEN COSTA and President Lincoln-RIECHARD MOREN. I remember when we dramatized that same play in 12AB English class back in 1943 and we chose those same characters. Life is always the same. I walked out slowly but was soon caught in a current of moving men all rushing toward one lonely booth in the middle of the common. It's a charity booth and kisses are being sold for ihve dollars each. The seller is-why it's little EMILY NAPPI and business is surely good. Rushing in the front row with a bank roll ready is-why- LUCIEN CAPONE! Whoever would have imagined you'd spend money so foolishly. I passed along and drifted toward the merry-go-round. The care-taker was a tall lanky man and after a brief glimpse of his face, I knew it was none other than DEAN ARMSTRONG. I wonder where he got practice in caring for horses? And there leading a little girl to a horse is EMILY ROHRMAN. The child did not look like Sue nor a 33 certain Pat and upon inquiry Ifound that the .baby's mother was ANGELA BRUNO. I looked around and there, lavishly dressed in rich furs and jewels, stood Angela, at- tended by many handmaids. She cei4tai'nly'made'out well! Look! the crowd shouted. I glanced overhead and saw an airplane writing the words, Drink Cepsi-Pola! The plane was very low and I recognized LEO SIMMELL -working industriously at fthe controls while RICHARD DeWOtLF leisurely napped If I remember correctly, it was always Leo who dozed in classes. The plane was directly overhead now and I could hear the drone of the motor. Drone! Drone! Groan! Groan! Oh! M'y leg! How it hurts. I opened my eyes and looked about me. My leg was dressed in a splint and the motor of the ambulance was running, ready to take me to the hospital if the need arose. But I sat up and began to feel better. I started to laugh when I realized what had happened for even though I had broken my leg, I had just seen the futures of all my college preparatory classmates. ' PAULINE BRUNO, '43 COMMERCIAL, 12C-l Thrilled was the wayil felt when I received word that 'I was chosen to appear on the Have Your Wish Granted program. I knew what I was going to ask for, but I also felt it was impossible for them to grant it-the wish to see how all my classmates of 1943 were faring. However, everything seemed to be prepared for me. Even before I expressed my desire, the lights in the vast theatre dimmed and across the screen there flashed a gigantic store with at least ten huge electric signs strewn all over the building -Pat's five and dime store. Why MATILDA MEDEIROS, how could yOU deceive the public so. You know the cheapest article you sell is a linen handkerchief at Sl.98l Next appeared on the screen a service-men's canteen. Studying closer I noticed a sign near the door, All Johnnies especially welcome, Senior Hostess-LEONORA GARAFAX' As the' camera was slowly canvassing the town it suddenly rested upon a little white cottage. Someone was screaming at someone. Whoever it was had an extremely voluminous voice. Now the interior of the house is being shown. Why MARY ANANIA, whatever are you doing screaming at poor hubby like that? Next -on the list was an exclusive office of a local factory with JAMES BOVFTOMLEY plus his ten secretaries presiding. I knew he'd secure a share in that company if he kept at it long enough. I was still pondering over JlIllIlll8yS success when down the street walked ANNA RUG- GEIRAO with her five sons, all 5 ft. 8 in. to 6 ft. 4 in. Now where in the world did they inherit that height? Not from their Mom and Dad I know. Wait a minute! NVhat is all that pounding I hear? Oh, I might have known. STEPHEN DePASQUALE banging on a typewriter with one hand, andjlguildinggwratbattleship with the other. And right across the street was an inforn1atio,n.,booth with, of course, HATTIE ,BROWN, giving informative gossip on anyone anywhere in the-world. Hattie was charging Sl for each word she uttered. This didn't seem to keep the crowd away. In fact, I could see a young lady squeezing 'through the crowd. Of course, you might have known it would be ROSE FOTI asking how long it took for a graduate of Annapolis to become an Admiral! Well, now, here's a prosperous, distinguished-looking lady walking by. Why as I live and breathe! Countess PRISCILLA PETERS plus an upsweep, plus a genuine silver fox jacket, plus a line of suitors. Gee wilikens! First my ear drums receive some vigorous exercise. Now my eyes are playing tricks on me. What, in the name of Superman, is that blotch of red on the screen? Can't seem to make out what it is! Clear and clearer it appears until-why MXINNIE TROIANO voted the Most Blushing Majorette of 1953 ., You never did get rid of that, ah . . . high blood pressure , did you Minnie? On and on the camera flew across town after 'town until it came to a busy city. Almost imnregiattely, from a large apartment house, stepped out THERESA Saloney Cabreski, Ohuly ALVES-this time not collecting attendance slips but collecting alimonyl?'7I was'5'vleWing the lobby of this luxurious apartment house and noticed that it wasfdrowdedfivith-'men who were loaded with candy and Howers.

I 'began to realize then that all celebreties lived here so I thought I'd see if I could find more of my classmates. I didn't have to wait long before an actress came strutting in, Lydia Hutton singing, the current hit tune, Murder him! Her real monica was LY'DIA DIAS. Our next step was an army air field where Captain JOSEPH REZENDES was teaching a class of young air cadets the art of drawing cartoons on a plane to scare the enemy away. I always knew the artist in him would come out some day. Just along side of his class was another group. It seemed as though this, ah, teacher was trying to explain to his students, The technique of getting five hours homework done in 15 minutes, if you have to do it at all. Author, Major RALPH -DeLUCA. Now, where in the world is the camera taking us now. To a plantation? But why? Who, in my class could live on a plantation. I wonder what he or she is raising! Cotton, I guess because-no sir, those green things aren't cotton seeds. They're pickles! Proprietor, none other than Master WILLIAM lBtYRNES pre- siding over his employees which consisted of girls! girls! girls! blondes, brunettes, and redheads, short, tall, stout, and thin! I guess f'pickles got the best of him or was it the redhead? For about two seconds the only thing I could see was a blank screen. Suddenly there appeared a sign on a large gymnasium reading: How to Grow Inches Taller in Six Lessons from Madame lL'Aguar . Result: LEANORA AGUAR in a very prosperous career. Listen! She's phoning someone. I catch a word here and there. President-Tabor Academy-Manchester. Now don't tell me MARGARET MAN- CHESTER has achieved the position of President of Tabor Academy. What happened to-oh, I see. He's the head of West Point. Our next scene is the Library of Congress. My eyes are quickly glancing over the shelfs. Suddenly they rest on this great big volume, twice the size of Webster's D'ictionary. Title: How to Get Along with the New Sophomores. Author: DOROTHY CENERINI. At last we are back in our quaint little town of Bristol. The first thing a tourist would notice as he travels into it is the Franklin Studio of which the main purpose is: We secure any man you wish to obtain. All those named Frankie-guaranteed. Proprietor, Mrs. ANNE M. BORGES. In that same studio there appeared a killer-diller broadcast every Saturday night called Two Gun Millie Gets Her Man . Alias 'CARMELLA CATALFANO. We were in the residential section, now, and I noticed an exceptionally quiet house. As I drew nearer I quickly changed my mind fthe everlasting woman's privilegel. I saw one little Mike sliding down the banister while two other Mikes appeared on the top of the staircase engaged in a pillow fight. In the kitchen was their mother, ELENA M!IGLIORI peeling onions while her husband was trying to build a boat down the cellar. Overhead. I heard a buzz that grew louder and louder. It was an airplane being flown upside down with ANNA DUPONT taking dictation from the pilot. As the airplane disappeared ANNUNZIO CANDELMO appeared with a girl 6 ft. 4 in., his daughter, and behind them trying to catch up with them was his oldest son 4 ft. 11 in. Exactly across the street from this family group was a barber shop with the rates posted on the door: Haircut with elephant perfume 3.30, without elephant perfume 55.25. Permanent waves priced according to baldness. Special rates on holding hands . -Upon peering through the window I found it was my pal RILTA CAPPUCCI, running the place. Next door to Rita was a promoter's office. Tiny Tina will be manager to no one under 200 lbs., no one who hasn't served in the Navy, and no one who won't wear navy blue trunks. Promoter, manager, adviser, and fighter-TINA DELGADO. I had a far-away look in my eyes when all of a sudden I heard the sponsor's voice telling me it was all over. No, it wasn't, I pleaded. You haven't shown me MARY CABRAL yet. With quick apologies and mutters that I should know what that young lady was doing, they pre- sented me a class room where there were two teachers trying to teach the same class- Mary was trying to teach shorthand, and her husband trying to teach the fundamentals of a barber! CONCETTA MASCENA, '43 36 GENERAL DIVISION Here I am sitting without a thing to do. Wouldn't it be nice if this old rug of mine was a magic car.pet and I could go where I pleased. I think I'll sit on it and wish and see what happens. I wish magic carpet that you would take me to Shangri-La. Oh, it's moving. I think I had better hold on before I fall olff' Out the window we go and high up in the clouds. Faster and faster we go up and down like the Roller Coaster at an amusement park. Now we are descending. Off the carpet and on the good earth again. Look a plane is just landing. A broad-shouldered young pilot is descending from the plane. Why it's First Lieutenant PAT RAIOLA of the U. S. Air Forces who has just returned from selling U. S. War Bonds to the Japs. He sure did a swell job. He sure has a persuading way about him. I'm on my magic carpet again and am on my way to Africa. It is awfully hott here. Look at those poor natives. Someone is selling them fur coats and snow shoes. I think I'll get closer and see who it is. Why it's DANIEL RENE. No wonder the natives were taken in. I think I'll have my magic carpet take me to a place that is cooler. Carpet take me to a sandy beach. Away we go. My, look at all those bathing beauties. They're having a 'beauty contest. Hum! look at the judge! Why i!t's JULIO TROIANO. I-Ie must be in his glory now. Oh, they're having a circus over there. I just love circuses. Listen to that barker. Now ladies and gentlemen we present Jeanne the all Powerful. She bends iron bars like tooth-picks. Picks up elephants in one hand with great ease. Why, no, if can't be, but it is, my old classmate, JEAN MILLARD. My she must have taken Su.perman's course in body building. Look at the wonderful bear-back rider. What grace, what ease! What skill! Why i't's ANTONETTA GIGLIO. She's as graceful as -a butterfly. Oh, goody! 1The trapeze artists are going to perform now. They take my breath away. That boy and girl are going to do a triple turn in mid-air. I hope 'they make it. There they go. They made it and are taking their bows. Why it's VERONPCA IASIELLO and MICHAEL MALAFRONTE. I better be on my way. Magic carpet 'take me to a big city. Away we go. Look at that crowd of women crowding around that poor man. I wonder who he is. Why it's the great scientist who has just discovered how to get the horse out of horse meat. VINCENT SAVIANO. I can see why he's so popular. My this must be a parade coming down the street. Shucks, it's only AUDREY BAKER followed by all her little colonels. I knew she would be true to the Army. What's that I hear? One, two, three, kick! One, two three, kick! I wonder what that is. I guess I'll take a peak in this window. Why i-t's GEORGE INGRAM giving ballet dancing lessons to a group of football players. Hope you're successful, George. What a peculiar odor. I think I'll put on my gas mask. Look at that sign: Dom's Skunk Farm. DOM'ENI!C 'CANNAVACINOLLO is raising skunks for further use in gas bombs. Dom tells me that he hasn't had any trouble with bill collectors since he bought his farm. I hear PAULINE BRUNO has put her great mind 'to work and is raising hollow trees for use in the Army's camouflage. I think I'll be on my way. Carpet take me to Hollywood. Here we are. I see where JOE PARISI has relieved Charles .Boyer for active service and will appear in the picture, They're Rationing Sugar but Not Me, Kid. Oh, look at that crowd of people gathered over there. I wonder what is happening. Why that's ANN FOLEY sitting on that flag pole with a camera waiting for Superman to come by so she can get his picture. Ut you ask me, she'll have a long wait.J Who's that taking Ann's picture? Why it is LEONARD DIGATI. I hear Leonard and Ann are partners. Ann makes the news and Leonard prints it. I think they ought to do well together. 37 KEY T0 BABY PICTURES ON PAGE 40 I hear BILL MCCAW is a professor at a college ad has a new theory. He teaches his pupils to start building anything at the top and work down, then you have it finished before you start. Behind the success of every man is a woman, so I guess A. K. had something to do with that. BRENDA LEVY and BARBARA BUTT are acrobatic partners. Barbara does all the dancing and Brenda holds the rings and puts the handerchief in place. Brenda seems to get all the applause. I wonder why. Oh, she's throwing nickels to the audience. Well, I guess I'll be on my way. Magic carpet, take me home. Here I am again in my own Home Sweet Home and my beautiful magic carpet has turned back into my old rug that lies in front of the fire-place. SUE ROHRMAN, '43 THE INDUSTRIAL ARTS GROUP Today is a pleasant day. I think that I'll take a trip back to my old home town of Bristol. It's been twen-ty years since I left my classmates of '43. I wonder how each of them succeeded in life. While going around Colt Drive , I see a beautiful dine and dance hall, where the castle used to be. Why its owner is none other than JOHN FEDERICO. Quite a large place for such a small man. Then driving along Hope Street, I stopped forrsome gas. Well, the owner of the gas station is none other than FRANK QBROGENTINE. Say, I remember when he took apart the school auto and had quite a time with it. Going further along Hope Street I am stopped by a huge policeman who insisted that .I buy a ticket to the Policemen's Ball . It's none other than EDWARD SILVIA. Gosh, Ed, I thought that you were going to become a pilot. While passing Colt High I hear a person insist-ing that his answer is right. Upon entering the classroom there is Professor ANGELO PIRRI arguing with his students on math answers. Still arguing, eh Professor? Upon entering the principal's office, to my amazement there was THOMAS AUGUST principal of 'Colt High. Well Tom, I knew that you'd get there some day. Going down to the machine shop to see how the boys are progressing in their studies, to my amaze- mint there was RALPH DeFE'LI'CE and HAROLD PEDLEY teaching a group of eager boys. Then I heard a one, two, three, four, coming from the gym and there was coach JOSEPH CATALFANO in the midst of a group of young boys teaching them the fundamentals of good sportsmanship. Then going up to the second floor in Andrews, I poked into 206 and there was NICHOLAJS GAGLIO, teaching English. My, Nick, how you have changed. In 204 teaching the Aggie course is GEORGE OLIVER and having an easy time keeping the boys under control. Before leaving Andrews, I heard an argument down in the boiler room between the two janitors about who is .going to sift the ashes in the morning. Why it's none other than CHARLES ST. ANGELO and FRANK MARABELLO. Still fighting, eh boys? As I left Andrews and walked past a shoe store there standing in the window was NORMAN FERRERRA. Well, Norm, you sure have changed. We thought you'd become a barber instead of a shoe salesman. Speeding by in their coupes are JOHN SILVIA and JOHN ALMEIDA, probably going to Barrington to look for a friend. Still going there, eh boys? While passing Burnside Memorial I noticed two policemen. Why it's none other than DOUGLAS KLEIN, police chief, and THOMAS REMIERES, captain. Now you can go through intersections, eh, Tom? Guess I'll stop in for a lunch at that Coffee Shoppe. The owner is LIONEL CIOR- REIRA and there in the corner playing the pin-ball machine is ANDY VOLLARO and ALBERT OLIVER guiding the balls with a powerful magnet. Don't get caught, boys. 39 Here come two officers of the Army. It's Major EDMOND OLIVER and Colonel WILLIAM DIAS. Guess they didn't1 want to get out of the army when they were drafted back in '43. They're talking to a gray-haired Admiral of the Good Ship, Lollipop. Why it's none other than ELMER ANGELL. We never thought he'd leave the army. On inquiry, Elmer tells us that LOUIS 'COSTA is High-Lord Keeper of the ship's parrot and that our bashful friend FRANK ABATE, overcoming his dislike for the fairer sex, is instructor to a group of VVAACS on the gentle art of using an automatic dish-breaker. Continuing on in my walk I stopped to buy a newspaper and read on the first page this item, Famous singer, RI-CHIARD BIDON, fiercely attacked by a group of hoodlums at Sing Sing, whom he had attempted to teach hymns! Now that I've seen all of my classmates I guess I'1l return to my home. I'm very glad that they have been so successful and happy. WILLIAM MORENO, '43 KEY T0 BABY PICTURES ON PAGE 38 1. Pat Raiola 2.

In groups of bewildered sophomores, we were trying hard to End home rooms-to become a little settled or adjusted before we had our first assembly. How awed we were in our beautiful Auditorium-surrounded as we were by upper classmen and listening to Mr. Fitzgerald, our principal, explain rules and regulations of the school. Then during the months that followed we busied ourselves with studies, games, assemblies, and school dances. In the spring of 1941 we elected our class officers: President .,........,,..........,...,...,.......,...,........,.........,..,.....,,.. ..... ,..... D o nald Felix Vice-President ...... ,......

Aurora Rogers Executive Board-Anna Kebrek, Joseph Parisi, Anne Borges, Angelo Pirri. On the whole our sophomore year was very quiet, our class proving to be loyal and ambitious. 1941-1942 In September 1941 after our long vacation, most of us as Juniors were ready to resume our school work. Almost at once class officers were elected: President ....,.....,....,......,,.......................,....,,......,,...,..,,.............,.... Annunzio Candelmo Vice-President .,.... ........

Louis Costa Executive Board-Emily Rohrman, Elena Migliori, Aurora Rogers, Gemma Topazio, Pasquale Raiola, Thomas August, Donald Felix. Our Junior Prom was the outstanding event of the year, to which we looked forward. XVe were all rewarded by good weather and a little gasoline to take us to the Prom. Looking back, the year went by very quickly. 1942-1943 XVe, as dignified Seniors, returned to school in September 1942. During that fall and the spring of 1943 many of our boys went into the Armed Forces, so our class was weeded out from 140 to 102 pupils. Soon after our entrance we elected our class otiicers: President ....,,....,....,................,..,....,......,...................,....,....,......, .........

Margaret Manchester Executive Board-Emily Rohrman, William Moreno, Julio Troiano, Frank Codola, Joseph Catalfano. On March 4 and 5 our annual senior operetta Pickles was presented. It was attended by many people who made many favorable comments on it. In January, to our amazement we had no mid-year examinations. june came all too fast to suit us. Class Day-our last real assembly with under- classmen-was a sorrowful yet joyful day for us Seniors. We were to leave Colt High to go into the world to face our unknown futures. From then on we were to be on our own. s X 1 VVe will always remember those good old days at Bristol Senior High School.

Witnesses: Morons Squiffles Gremlins 46 Objectives .of the High School Victory Corps All over the country sec-ondary schools are organizing their classroom offerings, their extra class activities, and their guidance and personnel programs to further the war effort. Two objectives of the high-schools' wartime program to which the Victory Corps is related are: CU The training of youth for that war service that will come after they leave school: and C23 the active participation of youth in the community's war effort while they are yet in school. The first seems closer to what goes on in school classrooms and shopsg the second to the out-of-class activities of students. The Victory Corps organization takes account of both. Whether curricular or extra-curricular in character, the objectives of the high- schools' wartime program which the Victory Corps will foster and promote are: 1. GUIDANCE INTO CRITICAL SERVICES AND OCCUPATIONS: To keep youth currently informed concerning the critical manpower needs of the Nation in its Armed Forces and Civilian pursuits and how to prepare for entrance into services or occupations in which critical needs exist: to encourage all pupils to choose wisely some phase of the national war effort to which they can give of themselves immediately. 2. WARTIME 'CITIZENSHIP: To strengthen and redirect the required studies in the school curriculum which are basic to citizenship training for American life, in this connection to insure a better understanding of the war, its meaning, progress, and problems. 3. PHYSICAL FITNESS: To strengthen and redirect the health and physical training programs so as to make the greatest possible number of high-school pupils physically fit. 4. MILITARY D'RILL: To provide voluntary and properly conducted military drill, in uniform where possible, for prospective members of the armed forces. 5. COMPEJTENCE IN SCIENCE AND MATHEMATICS: To increase the number of students studying science and mathematics courses basic to the war effort and to improve the quality of scholarship in these courses. 6. PREFLIGI-IT TRAINING IN AERONAUTICS: To provide special courses and activities for the preliminary training of prospective aviation cadets and ground crew maintenance men. 7. PREINIDUCTION TRAINING FOR CRITICAL OCCUPATIONS: To insure an adequate supply of young people who have some preliminary training for critical wartime occupations in the air forces, the land forces, the naval forces, and in producftive civilian life, in connection with the latter to assist in meeting immediate manpower shor-tages which exist within communities through part-time work-and-school programs. 8. -COMMUNITY SERVICES: To prepare selected young people for work in essential service occupations of civilian life, including business, homemaking, and the professionsg in this connection to prepare young people to render immediate volunteer service in civilian defense, care of young children, home nursing, and other service activities requiring some initial training. 47 BOYS' GYM TEAM dun-Q av'1 'il GIRLS' GYM TEAM - 5,1 K . Q , X.. Gymnastics Teams 1943 Immediately following the termination of the basketball season, the gym teams began an intensive program in preparation for the annual exhibition which was held April 16, in the Andrews gym. The main features of the show were: pyramid building, tumbling and apparatus work, ju-jitzu, and last but not least the tableau which is always appreciated. Cooperation and determination were the prime factors for the exhibit's success. A great deal of credit must be given to the coaches, Miss Dailey and Miss Allen, for doing such a good job. El El El Junior Red Cross On Friday, November 13, Mrs. Hazel Wood, the Director of the Junior Red Cross, spoke to a group of girls interested in establishing a Junior Red Cross here at the high school. She explained that Bristol comes under the jurisdiction of the Providence chapter, working in cooperation with it, and urged a large group of both boys and girls to Join. The Junior Red Cross was instituted in 1917, a spontaneous movement by the school children of Canada, Australia, and the United States. These children wanted to have a part in the work that the Red Cross was 'doing for the men in trenches and camps of .World War I. This organization is just what its name implies. It is a vital part of the Red Cross movementpiot separate from it. Its aims and uses are much like those of the Red Cross, namely, war on waste, the production of articles for the care and comfort of hos- pitalized men in the armed forces, making of clothing for refugee children in war ridden lands: providing of food and clothing for other children who become victims of war. The Junior Red Cross is citizenship in action. Its pledge or slogan is: ' We believe in service for others, in health of mind and body to ht us for better service, and in worldwide friendship. For this reason we have joined the American Junior Red Cross. We will help to make its work successful in our school and community, and .will work together with Juniors everywhere in our own and other lands. - 1' I El El El Who's Who at the High School After much trial and tribulation and frantic efforts to hold meetings in the midst of all the hustle and bustle at the high school these days, the Seniors and Juniors finally elected their respective officers. The Sophomores, as yet, have not elected their class oflicers. At a meeting held in early fall, the Senior Class elected the following officers: President ......,........,...,..,..,..,,....,....,,.......,.......,.....,,..,.,..........., ,gm ...,. ..1 ..,...

H e rbert Hayden 49 The Power of Music Have you ever listened to a radio program with varied music and just set your imagina- tion to work, painting pictures for you? One of those infrequent programs with continuous music-no announcer to interrupt your dream- ing? Perhaps the first tune is a waltz. Your imagination pictures a white swan swimming on a blue pond-the one in the park that you used to go to see, as a child. The leaves floating around in the rippling water like little boats and the white ships sailing overhead. Russet leaves fioating in the mild breeze-back and forth, finally landing upon the shining surface of the pond. From this waltz, the music swings into a livelier tempo that makes one think of riding briskly through the country on a beautiful cherry-colored horse. The leaves are crackling under his hoofs and the air is brisk and cool with leaves blown in every direction. A sudden gust creates a whirlwind of leaves and your horse shies at the sudden motion. The air is exhilarating and everything has sparkle and seems alive. Then a familiar southern melody comes on the radio, that paints a picture for itself. A hot summer's day, the air heavy with heat and the noise of crickets ringing in your ears. This tune brings back memories of your childhood when you used to climb that gnarled old apple tree and lazily watch the fish swim in the stream below. What a contrast to the ex- hilarating tempo of the song before. A beau- tiful southern mansion is painted in your im- agination, with negro slaves working in the cotton fields. Everything is so peaceful and quiet. Suddenly your reveries are interrupted by a snapping military melody. This pictures the redcoats' in brilliant array, marching along with a general on a white charger in the lead-or maybe a young group of flying cadets stepping along onto the field where each climbs into his plane and takes off in formation. Or the Fourth of july parade you saw from the roof at the garage next door. Perhaps this song pictures a victorious football team returning after a game -gay crowds waving and shouting for their team. It might portray a group of soldiers singing in battle, fighting for our democracy. Now the program has come to an end and your imagination ceases its wandering and your mind is brought back to the matter at hand. But you have gained something-you return to your work refreshed, humming a tune. BARBARA BUTT, '43 Radio Advertising It is about six P. M. I switch on the radio, hoping to catch the latest reports from the Russian campaign, when the news commentary is suddenly interrupted by a far-too-exuberant- to-be-natural voice. This voice then proceeds to proclaim the virtues of Jerko's Magic Little Liver Pills and the sparkling effectiveness of Jerko Seidlitz Powders, guaranteed to either cure you or remove all traces of you, fperiodl. In the latter case, your money will be gladly refunded. I give up in disgust, and, having lost all arp- petite for my supper which I was about to eat, go slowly up the stairs and flop down on my bed, to recover from the nausea brought on by my session with the news broadcast. Having regained myself somewhat I rejoin the family, arriving in time for dessert. How- ever,at that moment a terrible shriek bursts forth upon the air followed by the roar of a thousand bombers. This I immediately recognize as the commercial of the Helter-Skelter Ciga- rette Company, producers of the revolutionary new make that costs twice as much, burns half as long, and irritates the throat five and seven- tenths as much as the average of all the other leading brands combined. This horrible succession of sounds throws my nervous system completely out of kilter, so that I am unable to concentrate on my evening's homework fa rather habitual state of affairs anyhow, I might addj This being the case, I climb into bed early, and am just closing my eyes when I am nicely jolted by the wailing of an underprivileged in- fant which it seems is not being bathed with Sklux soap. This child prodigy douibtless rea- lizes that Sklux soap is the soap that soothes kiddies' skin, gives it that makes-you-want-to- kiss look, as well as supplying to it all the natural skin oils needed for a fresh, healthy complexion. Somehow, considering the incessant barrage of out-landfish commercials, I finally manage to fall asleep. Nevertheless, throughout my slum- ber, I can still hear the words pink tooth- brush , modern design , and wakes up the How of bile . Mingled with these phrases are vistas of a cool, luscious, sparkling seidlitz powder, kernels of wheat being blown from a giant gun, and super-duper five-hundred octane gasoline being refined by the brand new Bab- oonsky' process that makes it six-and-a-half times as good as any gasoline ever sold at the price before . RICHARD DeWOLF, '43 America A is for Amer-icanism which we all possess: M is for the men who'll fight and guard it 'til the death, E is for equality, which here we all maintain R is for right which we hope shall be retained l is for independence, our independence is the best C is for cooperation, needed for success A is for America the land of the brave and the free, The land where all its people may share its liberty.

So what won't we do When this is all through To this Hitler If you do your part You'll do a lot To this Hitler So buy war bonds and stamps And help put the clamps On this Hitler. M. DuPONT, '43 Student CReciting from Macbeth J: Is this a dagger which I see before me, the handle towards my hands? Come, let me clutch thee. Other Student: Hmmm! Sharp, isn't it? What We Are Fighting For Men are dying tonight. Somewhere, far from home, the shrill melody of the bards of death profanes the stillness of the nigh-t. Somewhere, far from the luxury of his peaceful room, the boy from around the corner crouches in a mud- lilled shell-hole, wondering if the next whining bullet has his name on it. That boy found it no easy task to leave and heed the clarion call to battle. Perhaps, when he left, the reason for leaving was not quite clear in his mind. After all, the war was so far away, it almost seemed unreal-something in another world, a world vastly different from the one in which he was living. Of course, the war had affected his daily life-he was annoyed with the incon- venience of rationing, but accepted it as in- evitable. But all of this soon faded into insig- nificanceg the first battle came, and he lived through it. He had met the enemy. And then with all the clarity and brilliance of a glorious sunrise, the reason for his being there dawned on him. Crouching there in that miserable shell-hole, he suddenly wished he had some chocolate cake-the kind his mother used to make-and then with the next thought he knew that that piece of chocolate cake was the an- swer. That piece of cake signified the home he left behind-the good times he used to have with his boyhood chums-it stood for peace, liberty, the American way-it reminded him of the girl back home who was waiting for him. That piece of cake signified all the things that are right and decent, the things that one can hope to find in the new world of tomorrow. Yes, men are dying tonight, but they are dying willingly, gladly sacrificing their all for the cause they know to be the only cause. They are fighting so that their loved ones back home may never experience the horrors of warg they are fighting so that their sons and daughters can face the future unafraid and live out their years unstained by warg they are fighting so that the last best hope on earth will remain the guardian of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

Prayer for Teachers I When the day seems so unending And the trials are hard to bear When your pupils know no lessons And their eyes are everywhere, Recall to mind a Teacher And His trials and hardships too. Compared to His you realize Your struggles are so few. II You help your pupils daily You aid them one and all You listen to their problems In a study room or hall. So likewise was This Teacher So helpful, true, and kind And sympathetic always He comforted mankind. III So as each day closes gently On all your efforts clear Be not discouraged quickly Lose not your faith so dear. Put all your trust in Jesus Heed all He has to say For He's the One Great Teacher Who'll strengthen you each day. CONCETTA MILLIMAGGI, This is War My tires are showing canvas No new ones can I get The gas is running very low, And boy, how I do fret. Sugar is a problem That I can not forget For my coffee tastes bitter And is getting scarce at that. Fuel is now rationed Meat and calned goods, too So to the Board I went and came With feelings of regret. Iswore I would get even To the black market I did go But back I came discouraged Without a thing to show. Finally a solution came, The best I know of yet The Army had me drafted, So no more shall I fret. GEORGE OLIVER 43 Our Part Last night as I was dreaming, I saw an angel The fair torch of freedom in her hand, as she was I looked out past the sea one day And pictured a peaceful land far away. The birds were singing, children at play The typical Dutch of yesterday. The tulips stood in even rows In wooden shoes were tiny toes. The windmills turned by fields of wheat, While on the dike played little Pete. Gretchen drove the dog cart by The mills. Silvery clouds in the sky Looked down on the peaceful countryside Where immaculate Hollanders abide. True, it was a beautiful dream, Bu-t it did exist, and could I mean, If all of us bought War Bonds and Stamps We'd send the Germans in retreating tramp. PRISCILLA IBRELSFORD, '43 She spoke of war and horror, the hated Ger- mans, too, And of many a lad's fond dream, that never would come true. She seemed to see her loved ones lying in the blood and muck Their hands clasped tightly over wounds that courage could not buck The rows on rows of crosses that lined a muddy field- The graves of many soldiers that simply would not yield. So let us, who are in high school, pitch in and do our best So those that died that we might live may Find a peaceful rest!

A number of school dances offered excitement, but the big aftair of the year was the Junior Prom. This momentous event took place on the niglg of May twenty-first, and proved a great success, with its holiday atmosphere colored by gay gowns, balloons, and streamers. Music by a popular orchestra was the exciting ,climax to our long awaited promenade. Next year our ambitions will be fulfilled when we enter Colt Memorial in September, no longer as fleclglings, but as prospective Seniors.

How- ever, they evidently didn't know what was in store for them, for, after getting olT to a good start by electing their respective officers and making plans for future meetings, they were faced with the problem of holding a meeting on a day that would not interfere with another school activity. This, in most cases, proved to be merely wishful thinking. They finally had to content themselves with holding meetings whenever possible instead of on regularly scheduled days. Therefore, in all fairness to them, it was decided to merely publish lists of their ofificers instead, of embarrassing them with the question of what has been accomplished. 1 Senior Rostrum President-Annunzio Candelmo.

Mrs. Masters, who replaces the late Mrs. Greer in the Home Eco- nomics Department, is from all rep-orts doing a splendid job there, and has adapted herself very well. Besides this, she, among other things, devoted her time on Thursday afternoon to conduct the meetings of the Junior Red Cross, which she in cooperation with Mrs. Adele Sturdevant, organized at the high school. Recently, our shop teacher, Mr. Sylvia, and one of our English teachers, Mr. Sulli- van, left us to heed Uncle Sam's call to duty. They are both serving in the Coast Guard. The former has been replaced by Mr. Bellevance while Mr. Borges now occupies Mr. Sullivan's former position of teacher of English. Mrs. Cloutier replaces Mr. Securo in the Math Department. Mr. Securo is now Ensign Securo and from all reports is getting along in fine style. Due to the changes in schedule necessitated by the new Victory Corps program, Mr. Carlson was having quite a time trying to figure out how he was going to teach two classes in the same period. That problem has been solved very nicely, however, by the opportune arrival of Mr. Russo, who formerly served in the capacity of Science teacher at the Junior high school. He has taken over the Biology, Science, and some Chemisftry classes and is doing a very good job, too. - Mr. Murgo's Physics and Aviation Science classes have been taken over by Mr. Carlson, Mr. Murgo no longer being a member of the faculty, having left us to become a defense worker. Another new addition was Mr. Morrison who was serving in the capacity of student teacher under Miss Bullock. Uncle Sam, however, needed him, and he left after only a short stay, but not before he had helped Coach Allen out immensely by training and coaching the J. V.'s who were certainly a credit to him.

In this game, although the Colt boys decisively outplayed their opponents, by continually fighting their way to the goal line, they lacked enough power to get a touchdown. However, instead of slowing down our knights of the gridiron this only spurred them on to greater efforts. They went on, taking the remaining opponents in their stride and successfully overcoming every one of them. It is to their credit that, after being defeated in one of their first games, they overcame that obstacle and came through with flying colors to win the State Class C Championship of the Suburban division, after one of the most thrilling schedules the Colt fans had ever witnessed. Highlight games of the season were the De LaSalle game, in which the fighting Colt eleven outplayed and outscored the previously untied and unscored upon De LaSalle team, by the breathtaking score of 6-05 the Burrillville game, which kept both fans and players on their toes until the Final whistle blew, wherein Colt made a magnificent comeback from an early slump to break through Burrillville's stone wall of defense and tie them for 12 points. The crowning climax of the season, however, was the Barrington game, played on November 28, which Colt won 13-0. In a close and exciting game, Colt wrested it's two touchdowns from the fighting Barrington eleven in the last quarter, thereby earning for itself the much coveted title of Rhode Island Class C Champions.

The rest of the games were taken in stride and Colt went on to win the Class C Championship by beating Cumberland twenty-'five to sixteen. Our regular season ended with 15 games won to 1 lost, a good record for any team. Defeating Cumberland entitled us to play St. Raphael, a class B team, for a chance in the finals. We were defeated by St Raphael's, 51 to 42, in an exciting game at the Rhode Island Auditorium. A great deal of credit must be given our coach and team for their hard work. Teams of the future should notice that only when everyone works together as did the 1943 Class C Champs, can they become champions.

After winning both the football and basketball championships, however, both the team and the students are determined that nothing save a major catastrophe will stop them from winning a championship of the diamond. This is a very favoralble sign for with a team fighting every minute to win and the rooters going all out in supporting them, such a com- bination will be hard to stop, '12 BASKETBALL TEAM Fimt Row-Rniolu, R4-n1icr4-5, Vullum, 'VlA0iill'lll, Parisi.
