Physical Education Page (5 ddditoriaf IN THE FUTURE Our world today, challenges our faith and determination. Because of the modern pressures of life, we are put to enduring tests and it is up to us to be assured and determined to defeat these trials. The people in this advanced era of ours are agitated with fears, jealousy, sorrows, and uncertainty. Our only hope to solve our personal problems is to turn wholeheartedly to our Creator, God. We should trust and have faith in Him, for it is He who watches over us and guides us when we have no-one else to turn to. Let us try to stop the nervous turmoil of our minds, and make room for Him and realize that his healing love is always around us. We all know that sooner or later our companions and acquaintances will take part in the different trends of life, some to serve our country, and some to serve the public. With them goes success or failure. What is the best trail to success? Everyone of us must study earnestly the past, not only to learn what has happened in history, but, to be cautious against the mistakes that have been made and make sure that they are not repeated. To achieve the goal, we must constantly keep before us our high aims. At this critical time, we will all go forth to live lives that are full of promise and enthusiasm. It’s all there, but we do have to put forth some time and effort to obtain it. To attain success, we must do our noblest, our best. This may seem to us an ordeal, but look at all those who have succeeded in life. Instead of depression this is the time for enthusiasm, energy, and animation. These traits are a necessity if we are to avoid downfalls in our personal affairs and business lives. Page 8 PRINCIPAL’S MESSAGE to the CLASS OF 1949 John 1. Burke Since we have made a sincere effort to assist in your intellectual and personal growth, it is our hope that a reasonable amount of success has been attained. This, of course, will be measured by the manner in which you continue to prepare for your chosen vocation and also the progress which you make in accomplishing your objective. As you leave high school I know that you will be impressed by the complexity of the demands which our society makes upon you as a member. You will be called upon to pass judgment on many of the difficult and intricate social problems which confront the American people today. You cannot live democracy adequately without thinking about it. It is essential in your democratic living that you be thoughtfully conscious of your experience and be able to generalize from it. Remember always that thought and action fortify one another. CLASS0F1949 DANIEL AIELLO Boll Hop- Class-College Preparatory Organizations: A. A. 10; French Club 10; Football 10, 11, 12.

Page-38 KEY TO BABY PICTURES ON PAGE 64 KEY TO BABY PICTURES ON PAGE 64 CLASS PROPHECY COLLEGE PREPARATORY It is said that New York’s Grand Central Station is a place where every person eventually passes through in the course of his life. And as my business called for me to travel constantly, it was just a typical day for me getting the 3:30 train to Brooklyn from Grand Central Station. I began to think our class in school, as I had just received an invitation to a reunion that was to be held the following week in Bristol, and of what each person had turned out to be. I wasn’t paying particular atention to whom I was sitting near, but I couldn't help turning around after I heard a conversation that went something like this. A poor beggar had come into the station. He was hardly more than a child. He was trying to l orrow a dime for some coffee from the woman in back of me. “Never a borrower or a lender be, my friend’’, she said to the half-starved beggar. The voice couldn't belong to a certain girl that had owed me money since our high school days, or could it? I turned around and there sat DOROTHY PARSHLEY. We exchanged idle gossip and I found out that she had become president of the New York National Bank and personally saw to it that whenever a person wanted a loan he had to practically sell his life. We talked about our school friends and I asked her about JEAN VERMETTE. “You know”, she said, “that Jean has always been fond of the opposite sex and recently when she couldn’t decide which one of her three suitors she wished to marry, she married all three of them. The law caught up with her though, and she is now serving time in the state penitentiary for bigamy.” “How about HILDA CORREIA and BEVERLY MAETOZA”? I asked. “Haven’t you heard? They’re famous inventors. One invention is called Zzydd’s Jaw Harness, guaranteed to keep loose teeth, jaws, and loose talk in place for $9.00. The other is called Zzydd’s Electric Hot Foot, just what you need when unexpected guests arrive. It will always get a rise out of them.” “Have you seen the new hotel here? The Snooty Plaza. The prices are so high there that a trained nurse administers smelling salts when they see their bill, and who do you suppose is the trained nurse, JOYCE FERREIRA. She is doing very well, too.” “Oh, that’s RALPH PETERS. He travels around from town to town giving penmanship lessons. He felt so bad about leaving high school and his lessons with Mr. Rineheart that later they teamed up together and are still telling pupils about the upper and lower case leters.” “Who’s that with him?” “Why that’s our old friend, RITA CUPOLO, Ralph’s wife. He always liked the silent type. Has she said anything since we left high school?” “I doubt it. Say, there’s an awfully good movie in town that I wished we had a chance to see. It’s the “Life of Rudolph Valentino”, and be prepared for a shock when I tell you who is playing the part of the greatest lover of the screen, EDWARD LOWRY who used to be called Peter Lowry.” After a brief fainting spell, I managed to pull myself together and let her continue. “Not to change the subject but I saw the funniest sight the last time I was in Bristol. Riding along Hope Street in a broken down cart drawn by twro anemic horses was the town junk dealer, VIRGINIA LISCOMB, yelling, “old rags, old shoes, old money”. I also heard that poor FRANK FOJO’S brain snapped after graduation and when I last saw' him he was sharpening pencils and beating erasers for the teacher at the Walley School. JANYCE MEGATHLIN has taken over the Church’s Antique Business. “And I have some new’s for you. JEANETTE JAMIEL is teaching the latest jitterbug steps to some Indians on an Indian Reservation out in California. That reminds me, recently, I saw a collection of scalps of the Indian victims and one strangely resembled Jeanette. Page 41 “Who is that huge woman carrying ten suitcases. Am I seeing things or is that MARJORIE PARSHLEY?” She rushed up to me, picked me up, swung me around her head and threw me around the station. “Marjorie, what’s happened to you, put me down?” “Why, don’t you know, I’m practising for my bout at Madison Square Garden as I’m now a famous woman wrestler. For an added attraction, the hottest contender for the next world heavyweight champion, JOE BRUNO, is challenging Joe Louis. “How times have changed. That’s the last type of work I thought Joe would be in.” “And today, just to satisfy my womanly vanity, even though I am a wrestler, I went into a woman’s lingerie shop on Fifth Avenue and there amongst all the women salesmen was JOE CAROM ILE. beaming behind the counter. He always did like the ladies.” “All aboard! Train leaving for Boston on Track 15,” called out the conductor. I turned around and to my complete amazement saw PATSY PAG NANO dressed in a conductor’s uniform yelling at the top of her lungs to make herself heard throughout the noisy station. Well she always did want to travel but I always thought in more exclusive circles than this. Then Marjorie, Dorothy, and I sat down again and saw three girls breeze by us. “That looked like PHYLLIS, MILLY and DOLORES”! said Marjorie. Trying to catch up with them, we asked them why they were in such a hurry. “We can’t stop”, they answered, “we’re running a non-stop marathon race from Boston to New Jersey, getting in shape for next year’s Olympics. Oh for the open air.” They said as they staggered past us. “Seeing them reminded me of CECELIA BRUNELLI.” “Why, Cecelia has a Shakespearian theater group and they’re putting on “Romeo and Juliet” at the Shubert Theatre. She loved Shakespearian plays so well in high school that it seemed natural that she’d do that type of work. They wanted EDWARD LOWRY for the role of Romeo but he was so busy working in a new film that he couldn’t make it.” “Who’s that up on the soap box, making a speech? Let’s listen.” “Try Dr. Sloan’s cold pills. If they don’t cure you in forty days, you’ll probably be dead anyway, so what difference does it make? They’ll either cure you or kill you. No refunds to corpses.” “Why that’s BEVERLY HILL on her new career as a witch doctor and that looks like BARBARA CAMPBELL beside her with her pet snake doing a snake dance, trying to lure the customers to buy the cold pills.” “Well, look at the time, my train will be leaving any minute, now. See you soon.” I left and little did she know of the robbery that was to take place at her bank. (I’ll get that $1.20 yet.) It was to take place at 10:00 tonight and I was the ring leader. Seven hours later, in front of the New York National Bank, we’re gathered with blow torches, saws, pick axes, knives, hammers, and ice picks, all set for the raid. We’ve almost got the door open. Who’s tapping on my shoulder? Oh, oh,—a cop. I looked at him. Why it was DANNY AIELLO. “Why Danny, fancy meeting you here. I was just peeking through the keyhole, trying to see what the inside of a big bank looks like.” He’s shaking his head. Off we go in the patrol car to see the judge. The judge turned out to be JIMMIE VELLECA. I tried to alibi my way out of this jam. We were sentenced to be hanged in sixty days. While I was in jail I had a visitor, JIMMIE BULLOCK. I said that I was feeling pretty low today. He said that I’d be even lower in sixty days—ten feet lower in the ground. But he promised he’d give me a nice funeral as he had the best funeral parlor in town. I may get a pardon, but if I don’t, I will at least have had the satisfaction of seeing all my old friends again. ANNMARYCHURCH Page 42 GENERAL The story I have to tell you is truly a remarkable one, so much that even I have difficulty in believing it, but what I relate to you now is exactly what happened. One night, not so long ago, I was seated at my writing desk, diligently cramming for the final examinations which were to come. The«hour waxed late and with the combination of the smoke-filled room and the odor of stale coffee heavy in the air it was a small wonder that at intervals my eyelids would close and for a second or so I would drop off to sleep, but always managing, however, to pull myself out of the stupor and forge on once again through the looming mountains of school books which completely surrounded me. But in the end, sleep won the battle and 1 sank into a soft, cool mist that engulfed my mind as well as body. How long I slept is a mystery, and I finally awakened to find myself not in my room but in a noisy, crowded — newspaper office. A telephone at my elbow began to ring, and lifting the receiver I hear a man’s voice say, “Hello, Chief, you all ready for the front page extra?” “What Chief would you like to speak to,” I said, “the Fire Chief, the Police Chief or whom?” “Always the joker, aren’t you. J. F. old boy?” “Look,” I said, “don’t call me old boy and explain yourself.” “Okay, maybe I got the wrong number,” he said, and hung up. What’s the matter with people around here I thought, have they all gdne crazy? And then I noticed a sign on the front of the desk that read, “J. K. Fetherston, Managing Editor, New York Times.” Well, well, managing editor. Someone must have hit me on the head and as the result I lost my memory, but as long as I’m the boss around here I may as well act as an editor would and this has always been my life-long ambition. Having achieved my goal in such a mysterious manner, I thought it would I woi;th while to go back to my home town, Bristol to see if my former class-mates had fared as mysteriously as myself. Calling the garage, I asked if there might be a car I could use for a few days. The attendant told me that he would have my private eight-door Cadillac and chauffeur sent over immediately, which suited me fine. We arrived in Bristol at seven o’clock and though many changes had been made I was still able to recognize it. Both of us were hungry and looking around for a place to eat, I spied a large neon sign with bulbs that must have been at least 1000 watts apiece. As we drew nearer to it, I was able to read what it said, “Machado’s Manor, Where the Elite Meet to Eat”, and then underneath this in bulbs, maybe 1 watt each, “At Least Sometimes.” Stop here, the name sounds familiar. We entered through a diamond-studded door and were greeted by my old friend, ED MACHADO. “Hello, Ed, long time since I’ve seen you. This place of yours is a far-cry from your old place of business, the First National,” I said, playfully poking him in the ribs. “Sure is. Jack,” he responded, playfully slapping me on the back and dislocating my left shoulder blade. “We have to eat and run. There are a lot of people I want to see.” “Friend of yours appearing on the common tonight,” he said, “why don’t you stop up and see him?” I said I would and we left taking a handful of the gold toothpicks from the cup over the door. It was nearly eight by this time, so we went right up to the common. There must have been a celebration going on for it was brightly lighted. Tents were clustered at one end and at the other a crowd was gathered around the bandstand where the conductor had just made his appearance. In a minute the band, which I could now' see was the Independent Band, had swung into a new Stan Kenton arrangement. “Oh, no,” I said. “It couldn’t be,” and we moved closer to get a better look. The music ended and as the conductor turned around and began bowing to the audience, I could see that it was our own, CARL DeLUCA. Rather than fight through the crowd of screaming girls that surrounded him begging for his autograph, I started walking toward the circus on the other side of the common. I wasn’t too surprised when I saw' the sign at the entrance to the fair grounds which read, “Barnum and Bullock—the Greatest Little Circus This Side of Warren,” for to be the owner of a circus had always been Page 43 PAUL BULLOCK’S inner ambition. Paul was standing by the ticket window happily watching the money roll in and every time a person slapped his quarter down on the counter, dollar signs rang up in his eyes. I greeted him, remarking about the fine beard he was sporting. “Oh, don’t think that I like wearing it ’ he said, “but if I don’t, my wife won’t go anywhere with me; she says she looks out of place.” “You see, Jack,” he said, “1 married the bearded lady.” I left Paul combing his Van Dyke and continued my tour. “Ladies and Gents,” came a loud voice over the public address system. “Step right up to the big tent by the ferris wheel and see tonight’s great fight. We have two very capable pugilists with us who will show you an exhibition of the art of fisticuffs.” This might be interesting I thought, and paying my fee I entered the tent. Luckily, I discovered a seat by one of the fighter’s corners and as I looked into the ring, 1 saw FRANK (ROCKY) DeLEO giving instructions to a fighter, who to me looked like a very convincing argument for mercy killings. While talking to Frank, I learned that his fighter’s ring name was “canvasback”, for obvious reasons, as in the first round he was knocked down five times. I left soon after “Canvasback” had received a light slap on the face and had promptly fallen down again, refusing to get up until he was counted out. Upon leaving the tent, I happened to look down at the ground, a habit acquired when 1 found a ten dollar bill on the sidewalk, and I saw an evening paper lying there folded to the sports page. I picked it up and read in big headlines. “COLT MEMORIAL CLINCHES STATE BASKETBALL CROWN.” Below it was a story, and one particular part caught my attention. “Ever since ANTHONY DeMEO received the coaching position at Colt Memorial, Three years ago, he has succeeded in bringing the state basketball crown to Bristol. A Colt Alumnus himself, he is a man that certainly bears watching in the future.” I thought so too and I had always thought that Ant would make a good coach. As the evening was about over, I tucked the paper into my pocket and as the night was a beautiful one, I sent the chauffeur away and started walking. I had reached the street and was about to cross when I heard a roaring off in the distance which sounded like a squadron cf airplanes. I was walking in the road when looking up the street, I saw an automobile rounding the corner on two wheels and bearing down on me. By some mirac le the car stopped not twenty feet from me and as I looked. I thought it was FRANK BRUNO getting out from behind the wheel. He was wearing a pair of goggles and white racing suit. Sure enough it was Frank. He told me he had just returned from Indianapolis where he had come in first in the annual 500-mile race there. It seems that Frank had become a successful racing driver. As we were both going in the same direction, he offered me a ride. On our way we passed a massive building that must have been erected in my absence. “What place is this?” I asked of Frank. “Read the sign and find out for yourself,” he answered. It said — “Mancieri Deep Sea Enterprises— If It Swims. We Have It.” Frank told me that after leaving high school, Sav had risen in the fishing industry to the point where he now owned this giant building and a majority of the fishing boats in the harbor. Frank dropped me off in front of a very modern looking hotel. So modern, in fact, that as I approached, an electric eye automatically opened the door for me, checked my hat and coat and shoved me over to the desk. This looks like some of Bill Troiano’s engineering genius. I thought, and I was right, for there seated behind the desk sat William. He had certainly turned our well, being the sole owner of this beautiful hotel, with a television set in every room and a swimming-pool on the roof. “W’here is your old side kick, LOU SOUSA, these days?” I asked. “After graduation”, he told me, “Lou was recommended by Mr. Carlson, our Chemistry teacher, to Yale University. Lou finished a four-year course and has been teaching chemistry there ever since. Just last month he received a Pulitzer Prize for his work on cosmic radiation. I decided to have one last look at the town before I left in the morning and my stroll took me by the old Alma Mater, Colt Memorial. I stopped to look at it for a minute and who should come walking out of the side door but another old classmate, JOHN SOUSA. He was carrying a batch of papers under his arm and 1 realized that he too had achieved his goal in life, that of being a teacher. Page 44 “Teacher, nothing,” he said, “I’m the principal of this school now and have been for the last four years.” I could see fhat John was getting: a little grey around the temples and I knew that his job must be a terrific strain on the nerves. But with his greying head, and the gold-headed cane he was carrying he looked the part perfectly. “See,” he said, “that’s my new office over there,” and in pointing to the designated spot with his cane, he accidently, I like to think, dealt me a hard rap on the head which completely lifted me off my feet. I came to with the words of, “drink this and you will feel better,” and I looked up and saw a nurse preparing something for me to drink. I knew in a minute that it was DIANA PEPE. She, too, had been fortunate in becoming what she had always wanted to be, a nurse. But not just a nurse, she informed me, but the leader of a well-organized chapter of nurses that cared for the sick in the town. “Now then,” she said, “Jack drink this, drink this, drink this, my mother was saying to me. shaking me at the same time. You must have been studying too hard and fallen asleep.” I said, “Yes, Ma,” and wondered how things were going to turn out. JACK FETHERSTON ’49 GENERAL CLERICAL While walking through a dark and lonely street in the year 1974, I saw a flash of light appear before me. It was an angel who said, “Follow me and I will show you your classmates of other days.” So I followed the angel and after walking for several minutes we entered this small city, and to my surprise, it was my own native town of Bristol. Bristol had grown to be a prosperous city with its tall and beautiful buildings. As I walked down Hope Street, now known as Main Street, I noticed a gray building which aroused my curiosity, so I started out to do some investigating of my own. As I approached the building, I saw a sign which read, “M. M’s Music Shop.” I walked into the shop and to my surprise it was none other than my good pal, Mike Morra. After talking to Mike for a few minutes, he asked me if I would like to hear some of the best records of the year. As he started to play the top recording of the year, I recognized the one voice to be that of LOUIS CAVALLARO and his rhythmaires singing, “Bring Back My Sweet Heart to Me.” After I left the Music Shop, I saw a fruit truck coming up the street. The driver looked familiar, and it was none other than DODIE BALZANO, who now' was the mother of five charming youngsters, all, at that moment, were having a good time on the truck. When I left the happy family, I continued to walk up Fifth Avenue to find a restaurant in order to have my lunch when I saw a sign which read, “Best Lunches In Tow’n.” Entering the restaurant, I noticed the proprietor to be none other than DAVID COSTA. He told me he was married to a millionaire and was the happy father of three children. David was telling me the laugh his wife had on him Christmas Day, when after they had opened their Christmas gifts David said, “Darling. I wanted to get you a pair of alligator shoes but I just couldn’t find an alligator with his shoes off.” I left the restaurant, and started walking up the street when I saw this sharp-looking character smoking a cigar. His face looked familiar, and it was none other than my good old pal Mike Rich. Mike told me he was now' the manager of the First National Store. Mike was still the same old fellow, ahvays on the go. As I left Mike, I decided to visit my dear old Alma Mater. I entered the building and walked up to the principal’s door and knocked. A familiar and charming voice told me to enter. I opened the door and seated at his desk was none other than JOHN CABRAL who told me that he had no trouble in becoming principal of the high school for he had married the former principal’s daughter. After I left the high school, I was walking up the street and saw' a sign which read, “Circus down the Next Street”. So I continued on my way to have some fun at the circus. As I was walking around the circus grounds, I stopped in front of a dirty tent but finally entered w here 1 noticed a poster which read. “Step to the right and see the world’s fatest womaA. ” Having paid my admission fee, I walked in to see this big creatpj p who to my surprise was none other than ANTOINETTA FUSCO. She was doing a dance and had all the crowd laughing. After seeing the fat lady, I thought I had enough of the circus and went back into town. While strolling down Diamond Avenue, I noticed two women having a serious argument. As 1 approached them, I saw it was none other than EVELYN FAVREAU and BEATRICE MARTELLY. Evelyn was accusing Beatrice of killing and eating a chicken that had escaped from her husband’s chicken farm. They had attracted the attention of so many people by their argument that I left them and continued on my way While walking very slowly down the avenue, a pleasing smell attracted my attention. 1 had been walking near a bakery. As I walked in, I saw that the proprietor was none other than LORRAINE S1LVEIRA, the owner of the largest bakery in town. She also showed me some of the champion medals she received for playing the guitar. When I left the bakery, I saw a big, beautiful home built of precious stone. I saw people going in and coming out so 1 decided to walk in to see this mansion. I walked into the house and heard many people singing. They were celebrating the birthday of the owner’s wife. I peeked into the room and seated in a golden chair was none other than IRENE BRUSCATO. who had married a millionaire by the name of RAYMOND CABRAL. They now were the mother and father of two children who were having a grand time throwing candy at the guests, and making a lot of noise. I left the mansion and went strolling up a side street where I saw this sign which read, “First Class M. C.” I knew those initials were familiar, so I walked into the store and found none other than the old meat chopper himself, NORMAN AUGUST. Norman told me about the time one of his cattle kicked him and he became so angry that he wanted to quit being a butcher, but he later settled down. As I left the butcher-shop, a very charming but busy lady came walking by and I recognized the person to be none other than MARGARET SOUSA, who was now working as a secretary for a large furniture company. Margaret said she was married to a cowboy and was the mother of five robust boys, Colt’s champion basketball team of that year. As I left Margaret, I was getting tired of walking around so I decided to go to see a show. I bought my ticket and found myself a good seat. As the show began, a magician was going to pull the trick of sawing a box with a woman inside. As the woman was put into the box I discovered it was none other than DOROTHY CASTRO. I also recognized the man to be Dorothy’s husband, ROGER — you know Roger Orefice. They had travelled throughout the country putting on this great performance. After the magician’s act, I thought I had seen enough, so I left the theatre. While walking up the street I saw a remarkable sign, “The Only Woman Plumber in Town.” As I approached the shop, I saw a woman wearing overalls and carrying a piece of pipe on her shoulder. I recognized the person to be none other than MARIE QUITO. Marie told me she had married a plumber by the name of Albert and was helping him in the plumbing business. When I left the happy plumber, I saw a funeral coach coming up the street. The driver who looked familiar was JOHN RUGGIERI. When John saw me he stopped to talk to me. I asked John why he didn’t became a laundry man, for he had worked in a laundry during all his high school days. He told me the laundry business was too lively fop him so he decided to go into dead business. After John had driven off, I decided to take an airplane back home. So I went down to the airport and bought my ticket. When the plane landed, I jumped in and took my seat. While sitting there comfortably, I saw’ an airline hostess trying to w’ake up a certain man who had fallen asleep on the trip, and the hostess was DOROTHY TRAVERS. She alwrays wanted to be an airline hostess, and was successful. She told me she had married one of the aviators of a transport plane and wras living in a beautiful home when she had time. Well, it was time for the plane to land, and I was very happy to see that all m'J class mates had been very successful in life. Soon I was home again. LOUIS TORTORICE COMMERCIAL The day dawned sunny and clear on a particular Saturday morning and the air was filled with clean, spring fragrance, that added to the excitement of going to see a circus. That’s w'hat we were going to do, Angie Rubino and I. The circus had just come to town and we were going to see just what really made it tick. Page 46 I think that particular morning: I broke all speed records for dressing and breakfast eating, for at ten-thirty sharp, Angie and I were at the edge of the Common and from what I could see the show was progressing nicely. Why it would be only a matter of time before the whole Common would be full of gay tents, musical rides, and of course, hot-dog stands. Moving into the center of things, I soon lost Angie and while trying to find her I wondered into what seemed to be an abandoned tent. The sign read “Madam Zola” Fortune Teller, but there was no sign of her around. Inside it was extremely dark and heavy velvet drapes made a somber background for a small, round, table and a crystal ball. Picking up the round object, I was disappointed to find, after looking into it, that it only magnified my hands. Maybe if I waved my hands around. Oh, but this seemed silly, but it was worth trying. So placing my hand over it and moving it from side to side, I began my works of magic. Then it started, hardly visible at first, the image spread until a while, cloudy, film completely enveloped the entire inside of the ball. Spellbound I watched unable to move, for this thing held my attention like a senior taking hold of his diploma on graduation night. I stood there still staring when the mist began to lift and 1 began to see little images, unrecognizable at first, but they soon grew until I was able to make out a particular classroom. Room 201 to be exact, where many a sten class was held. Nothing was changed only seated at the desk was not Miss Bullock, but Josephine Santo and from what I could see, Joey was demonstrating to her students a new, and shortened method of shorthand that eliminated all brief forms and dictation periods. Why hadn't we been told of this new method in my time? It would have saved many agonizing moments on Fridays. Just as I was getting comfortable, the mist started to rise again and when it cleared I saw' an open highway with a solitary car cruising along at top speed. Familiar look, that Chevrolet, I thought, when suddenly I read “Driving Training, Caution” written across the back. No doubt. Mr. Carlson was out with his class again, but how long has Mr. Carlson been wearing his hair in a wave-like bang? That looks more like CECELIA NASTRI, in fact it is, and as the new driving instructor, she was demonstrating a very important phase in driving a car. One-armed driving was her specialty and having had valuable experience, she was well qualified to teach. As the mist rose and feel. I saw before me a vine-covered cottage with little children scampering around the front law'n. Domestic little scene, thought I. when a familiar looking girl came out of the house, called the children, and marched off into an adjoining building. Moving closer to get a better view I saw a classroom. Is seems ESTELLE ARRUDA was operating her own Nursery school in order to teach her children to spell little words like marriage correctly. From what I hear. Massachusetts schools are very particular as far as spelling is concerned. Oh! here comes that fog again just when things started to get interesting. But what in the world is that crowd doing down there? Something must be really afoot, for here comes the riot squad. Why that looks like Buffington's, present place of employment for JOSEPHINE VITELLO. This called for a closer view', so moving nearer I saw a very familiar scene. Joey at her usual position behind the counter mixing ice-cream sodas like mad. But it can't be just an ordinary drink, for people were swamping her with orders. No doubt it contained a little of that “Vitello Vitality” that enabled her to be at a Green and White Staff meeting, over in Room 202 operating the mimeograph machine, and consulting with Mr. Burke about a social, all at the same time. Frankly I’d buy it by the gallon had I the chance. At this point I was ready for about anything, so sitting tight I waited until rising out of the mist loomed a sixty-story sky scraper. This was really a puzzler, for instead of the Five-And-Ten stood this building, right from the pages of a New York travel folder. From what I could see it was a busy office building and no doubt some wealthy, business like executive was at the helm of this obviously prosperous concern. Speaking of executives that must be his office, correction, her office for seated at a huge mahogany desk, piled high with reports was small, blue-eyed MARY DE FELICE. Now it was a known fact that Mary always succeeded at whatever she set out to do and here was Page 47 positive proof. She was now head of a nation-wide chain of stores, having trained ner experience as a very competent sales girl in our Five-And-Ten. But this wasn’t all, for seated directly in front of her desk was a tall, dark, and handsome specimen of manhood, obviously taking rapid dictation. It seems Mary had been successful in more ways than one. As this rare, but pleasant scene, began to fade from view another immediately began to form. It was the same building, but instead of an office building I saw a broadcasting studio. A huge symphony orchestra filled the entire stage and the seats that occupied the rest of the room were filled with richly furred and jeweled women and distinguished looking gentlemen. Walking across the stage towards the microphone was a slender girl clad in a flimsy white gown. If the idea wasn’t so silly I’d say it was ANGIE RUBINO, but according to the glimpses 1 had already had nothing was impossible. So, unable to take anymore of these shocks in a standing position I sat down and listened to Angie sing several selections from the opera Carmen. As the waves of applause subsided and the doors opened, my eyes caught sight of a sign just across the hall that read “Carroll’s Dancing Studio”. Now being a firm believer in dancing, I became more and more interested and leaned closer to see JOAN CARROLL in the midst of a group of young boys and girls demonstrating to her students a very graceful ballet step which was required to do “Dance of the Dying Swan” correctly. However she was interrupted by a scream coming from a young lady who evidently bent back too far and as a result got her braid caught under a little boy’s foot nearly spraining her hack when she tried to straighten up. This was accidental of course. Sadly, I watched this cozy little scene disappear and in its place I saw a familiar soft drink stand. In fact it was the one I had passed at the entrance of the circus. But instead of seeing the attendant handing out soft drinks, I sawr GLORIA GARCIA holding a fuming bottle in one hand and waving the other as she told her audience of its valuable uses as a cold drink, window cleaner and paint remover. The name of this handy little household article was “Leahy’s Do It All”. Leahy—now could that be PEGGY LEAHY? It certainly could, for looking into the back of the tent I saw that familiar, blonde head working over a vat of steam that undoubtedly was “Leahy’s Do It All”. Now there were two girls with a future ahead of them. Smiling to myself at the possibilities of this thriving business, I was amazed at ihe rapid change of scenery. Looking down, I saw a huge ball-room filled with ambassadors, statesman, kings and even the President of the United States. He was chatting casually with a very stately looking woman whose every finger displayed a huge p rkling, gem and around her neck hung a huge ruby that would have fractured a toe had it the misfortune of falling on someone’s foot. Why the President just called her Helena, of course, HELENA TRUDEAU, the only girl that remained in complete control of her senses after transcription periods on Fridays. It seems she had married her boss, a senator I believe. Oh! There it goes again—gone with only the mist remaining. It must be close to lunch time and I was just about to leave when before me stood the Colt building, but through the large window I saw seated at the desk, not Mr. Burke, but JEANETTE PIVIN, and on the door I read “Jeanette Pivin, Principal”. Now there was an accomplishment to be proud of, first woman principal of Colt. However, the office had changed slightly. At the windows hung gay, gingham curtains, the wall paper was yellow with purple butterflies poised in carefree flight and Jeanette was reading over a recipe for “pressed duck under glass”. Suddenly my throat was caught in a steel-like grip and I turned to find what must have been Madam Zolo. Anger covered her face like a mask and as her grip tightened I began to struggle wildly when I woke up to find not Madam Zolo but my bed sheet nearly strangling me to death. I lay there for a moment letting my poor heart settle down when I remembered it was Saturday and the circus was in town, something I just had to see. FLORA DIAS Page 48 HOME ECONOMICS - INDUSTRIAL ARTS (Senior IA) While sitting in my hotel room in Oxford, England, I began to think of my old school days and old classmates and wondered what they were doing after all these years, for it was now 1965. As for me, I have been traveling all over Europe and Asia as a traveling salesman and have been away for many years. So I decided to take a trip to America to my old home town, which is a town that is hardly seen on a map. The next day I went down to the pier and bought a ticket for America, on the Queen Mary which was to sail the next day. After a week of fast sailing across the Atlantic, I finally arrived in America. I took a train from New York to Providence and then a bus from Providence to Bristol. To me, the town looked strange for it was long since I had seen it. But as I walked up Bradford Street, it all came back to me, for up the street a way, I saw my old Alma Mater, Colt High School. I stopped a while and watched the pupils passing from Colt to Andrews, and there was Mr. Burke giving one of the boys a bawling out for throwing a candy wrapper on the school grounds. “Oh, yes.” I said to myself, “just like old times.” I remember I used to do the same thing, but of course I used to get away with it. But I suppose the boys now are not as smart as we were in the roaring forties. As I stood there watching for five or ten minutes I began wondering where I could find my old classmates. So I decided to start doing a little walking and perhaps I would bump into a few of them accidently, and sure enough down the street came BERT MARSHALL in a glass car that he had invented, it also had a glass floor so he could stop and pick up nickles while driving. I stopped him and asked him how he was getting along. He answered, “Fine,” and asked what I was doing. We talked for a while, and I told him I would see him later. I started walking down High Street, and whom do you suppose I bumped into but another old classmate, DANIEL FONSECA, better known to all as “Thing Bang.” He was with his wife, B. C., an old flame of his who used to pursue him back in high school. She finally captured him and they are happily married. After a short discussion, I soon walked on. When I came to the Bristol Common, I saw there was a circus going on, so I decided to take in a little entertainment while I was here. So I bought a ticket. A barker was shouting, “See the most famous tight-rope walker of the century; the famous Madame Remieresqui.” Filled with expectation I entered, and watched the snake-charmer charm her snakes; and the sword-swallower swallow’ his swords. Then a cry! A gorgeous creature; wearing a costume which almost blinded one—it w’as so highly decorated with tinsel and brilliant stones—appeared on a stand, high in the air— which was connected to the tight-rope. To my amazement, I discovered BARBARA REMIERES. After the show I went to her dressing room and had a fine chat, and she told me that she was happily married to an old Bristolian. Then I left and walked up another block and from a distance whom do I see but PETE GRIMO working on one of Balzano’s fruit trucks. Of course I thought it kird of strange at his age, for he was now thirty-four. But then I remembered he used to go out with a fruit man’s daughter back in high school and probably ended up marrying her. I stopped to talk to him. and let me tell you he w’as glad to see me, for we had had many a good time back in school. I finally asked him how’ he was w’orking on a fruit truck at his age. He told me that he married one of his boss’ daughters and you know which one I mean. I left Pete, wishing him a lot of luck, and continued on. A little further on dow-n where Herreshoff used to be, in front of a large building was a big neon sign reading, J. Shinigoi, Boat Builder. I walked in and there was Shinigoi wearing an old sea-captain’s hat. He was bossing his men around like slaves, as though he was building real boats but actually only building toy models for children. I left him and walked further down the street and who came by but ROGER OREFICE who recognized me and stopped his custom-built twelve passenger car which he had designed for him and his family. He had married his old school-girl-steady, and now there were ten little Orefices. I asked him what he was doing for a living, and answered that he had a big garage with a couple dozen employee and was making millions. We talked for a while, and then 1 continued my walk down Hope Street. Next I saw KENT Page 49 LUTHER wearing a large straw hat. With him were five beautiful girls. I stopped him and asked him why the five beautiful girls. He said, “Well, you see, Valley, I inherited my father’s farm and I have been very prosperous for now, the farm consists of at least two-hundred and fifty acres. I use these girls to model my dairy and farm products for advertising my products in magazines and newspapers. Leave it to Kent to figure an easy way to success. I left Kent and walked along the back road where I saw MIKE FLYNN—who looked “seedy”. I asked him what he was doing for a living, and learned he was now' keeper of the town dump. He started that when he got out of high school, jobs were scarce, so he took the first that he could get, and had stuck io it. I wished him luck and w'alked on. Up the road a piece, I saw a large ranch, and on a pole was a sign reading, “ALICE ALMEIDA and IRENE GEYER, Horse Breeders.” I decided to go in and see them. They told me that they w'ere partners and enjoyed their new job very much because they always liked horses and were making good. I left the ranch and proceeded down the road. At the corner of Woodlawn Avenue I saw a large beautiful house that had apparently been built while I was away. Outside this house w’ere many children running around a play-yard. Suddenly I looked over and saw' CATHERINE FUSCO sitting on a lawn chair. I went over and started to talk with her and asked her what she was doing. She told me she was running an overnight baby sitter’s home for parents w’ho wanted to go on short vacations without their children. I told Catherine I’d be seeing her, said goodbye, and w'alked aw'ay. I came down Mt. Hope Avenue and started to walk across the common and whom do I see but DELORES TORRES walking with her husband and five children. We talked and she told me she was married to the boy she w’ent with in high school, and that she had a cute home on High Street and was very happy. While talking to Delores, a very queer looking fellow' with a long l eard was coming close to me. I could barely recognize him, but of course it was none other than JOE DUPONT, better know'n back in school as Professor Duke. He told me he was a professor at the “Hoof and Mouth Laboratory” at Prudence Island. I also asked him why the long beard. “Dignity” he replied. “It adds to my dignity and makes me look learned.” Knowing Professor Duke, I laughed heartily. Up along Wood Street where Joe Sardinha’s Radio Shop used to be stood a ten story building. It w'as a radio and television factory owned by another one of my school-mates, DAVID LAWRENCE, know'n as “Choclate.” I decided to go in and see him. “Well, Val,” said David, “How do you like my new' place. I told you I’d be a big shot sometime in the future.” Leaving David my mind was at ease, knowing that I had seen all my classmates and all had done w'ell in their line of w'ork. Sighing a sigh of relief, I packed my grip and was off to Europe again. PETER GUNO Read by VAL VERNA Page 50 SENIOR (I.ASS HISTORY The sky grew dark with the signs of an oncoming1 storm as I walked slowly by the library. I decided to spend some time inside for fear of getting wet. It had been a beautiful spring day and this being April 1, 11)70 meant it was probably just going to be an April shower. Entering the library. I walked to that section of the library dedicated to “Memoirs”. Shelf after shelf was lined with large album-like books, some with new bright jackets, others with dulled covers. My hand automatically reached for a book entitled “Memoirs of the Class of 1949”. Its brown leather cover showed signs of frequent handling and the gold lettering revealed its true age. It seemed such a long time ago, and I knew it would be wonderful to bring back those happy memories again. With trembling hands I opened the book. My eager eyes searched impatiently as my nervous fingers turned page after page. The ('lass Will, the Class Prophecy, the Class History. Well, this should be interesting, as I wrote the class history. Well, this first item: the opening day of school. What memories this evokes. Time: September 4, 1946. Place: Colt Memorial High School. Scene: A Corridor in Colt. I can see them now—quiet Frank Fojo standing silent in one corner of the hall, and yes, tiny Louis Tortoriee joining him. Little did anyone know that they w'ould become able President and Vice President. Oh yes, and shy Saverio Mancieri who took over the office of Secretary and timid Irene Bruscato who became Class Treasurer, talking with her friends. And Annmary Church, who later became a member of the Executive Board flittering about in the hall. Also in the group I find two more members of the Executive Board, Michael Flynn and John Ruggieri, quiet boys THEN. This also brings to mind how Val Verna, Paul Paiva and Michael Morra were heard far and wide when they took the offices of the three Sophomore representatives on the Student Council. Very few realized how many more were there that first day of school, September 4, than stayed to graduate. This second item: First Social Function, September 13. This date is considered unlucky by some but not by the green Sophomores who attended the Acquaintance Dance. It’s true we stood on the side lines that time, and looked with envy at the upper classmen who had an air of superiority that we someday would have too. However all turned out well. Very little took place in the days following the dance until September thirtieth when we were all pleased to hear that Pat Pagnano and Marie Quito had been chosen as Sophomore cheerleaders. How darling they looked in their green and white uniforms! How well the Sophomores supported the Colt boys at all the games and cheered them on together with our cheerleaders. I can hear them now' singing “Sons of Colt High”— “We’re sons of Colt high and we have come to meet the foe We’ll cheer our boys on and w'e will fight ’til the bitter end, And when the game is all o’er then you w'ill know Colt has won C-O-L-T w'ins again. Oh, you can bet your life on Colt.” “Oh, you can bet your life on Colt”. Yes, maybe we didn’t capture the football championship but the boys showed good sportsmanship and teamwork, but we made up for it at basketball time, holding the lead for three consecutive years. Yes, our boys did a grand job. But I am a little ahead of my story for here is a picture of our Hallowe’en Dance— October 23,1946—Ghosts and Goblins Witches and Gnomes Elves and Fairies Danced in various forms. What fun we had! Even the teachers w'ere good sports and helped to make this evening a pleasant one for all Of course this date would be here—January 22, 1947. What a headache this date carried. We had to get accustomed to a new manner of taking exams. What cramming was done those few days but all rested comfortably on January 24 at 1:10 P. M. when Mid Year Exams closed. Page 52 Now for a happier event — May 16. 1947 — the most important day in our sophomore vear —the Sophomore Hop! The planning preceding this event was not in mn for the dance was a sensational success. We thought we were really in the lime light that night. t. , . . , • But all too soon our thoughts changed to more serious thinking and when June 111th arrive l it meant a repeat performance. Only this would be the final one this year. Our final exams began. Tired and long faces were present in every classroom until June 13th when a sigh of relief was given by all. Well, this is it —June 18, 19411 meant that we were one step closer to becoming Juniors, and on June ‘20th the curtain fell on the first act in the lives of the members of the class of ’49 at Colt. After a pleasant vacation which consisted of games and swimming and everything that one does on vacation, we returned to the stage once more. The curtain rose on the second act on September 3, 1947. The scene had not changed, it was still dear old Colt. Only this time we were no longer scared Sophomores but rather non chalant Juniors who felt we were part owners of Colt. Our class organized early in October and Anthony DeMeo became President; h ranj Bruno —Vice President; Jeinnette Piv in — Secretary; and Pat Pagnano was selected to handle the class finances. This particular year the usual school dances, the Hallowe’en Dance and the assemblies did not have the ylamor of the preceding year but we wouldn t have missed them for anything. But there was the one nig event — the Junior Prom, with its usual charm and glamor, soft music, dim lights, beautifully dressed girls and well groomed boys. Yes, April 9, 1948 was a night to remember. But as 11:30 drew near several couples shyly stole away to enjoy another hour or two at one of the famous after the dance spots”. The curtain fell on the second act of our lives at Colt High School on June 17, 1948. Now for the third and final performance of our High School Days. Ah! September 8, 1948 the curtain went up on the final and most important act. With much regret I turn the pages of this part because, although, unknown at that date that was to be the best year of all. We, after two long years of wishful-wishing yes, at last we were dignified seniors. What a feeling to know one has finally reached the top of the ladder. The members chose with great wisdom Frank Fojo as President. Peter Grimo proved worthy to hold the office of Vice President Patricia Pagnano was one again inhered into the office of Treasurer after a year of experience. To me, Margaret ; given the honor of serving my class as Secretary, a position which I enjoyed immen. y. What a busv year our senior year was — something doing all the time. November 3, 1948— measurements were taken for class rings which helped us feel � «� . time was had. Several seniors participated in the Amateur show. Emilio Iannucille entertained us for one half hour with tricks of magic. Although we watched carefully, we could not fathom out these stunts yet he gave us many a fra laugh. ,ust 1 5®, left for our Christmas vacation in December, the class play Girl Shy was selected and the various roles were assigned. , . . ., After vacation we settled down to some serious studying for midyears were approaching. January 26, 27, 28, were the fatal days but most of us survived. In the very short breathing space in between, the cast was chosen for the opeietta Th eatee°xciting days February 3 and 4 were! Why? Pictures were taken for the year book. How well groomed the boys and girls were those two days. Then came the presentation of the Class Play. February 17 and 19. It showed the work that had been put into the rehearsals which had been under way for some time. It was verv successful and each character was well portrayed. What fun we had during the rehearsals for the operetta. And on April - and ... it was presented at Colt. The audience seemed to be very well pleased as each character showed his excellent histronic ability. . . , , , Shortlv after our operetta, the Juniors held their Prom. It was attended by several seniors, who enjoyed the evening as much as they did at their own prom the year before. In May our pictures finally arrived. Some did not recognize themselves, because all were so go id looking. But after all the camera takes only what it sees. Now the curtain began to lower, and after the final exams a deep sigh of relief was sent up to the heavens. All trials and tribulations were forgotten, and on Wednesday afternoon June 22—Class Day Exercises were held in Andrews. There the Seniors poked fun at one another and at the under classmen. All enjoyed themselves jm«en ly The fun enjoyed in the afternoon was carried over to that evening at the banquet. V hat appetites we had! What food was consumed! Most of us ate too much but that-did not interfere with our fun at the class dance which followed Every Senior had aJ on terfuj time, and all hated to go home at 11:30. Although most of the pupils had looked forward to this date, they were not too happy because this meant the end of school days. But .ife must go on. Page 53 The followng day was the most imoortant — Graduation Day. With much formality each proud Senior received his well-earned diploma; the finale of our performance. Our high school days were over and as the pupils left the stage and walked hack down the aisle to the auditorium in Colt, there were many eyes dimmed with tears, and manjr a heavy heart at the thought that it was over. Yet there was still one more function before we separated—the Senior Class Reception. Friday night the boys and girls danced to the soft music of the orchestra until twelve o’clock when the curtain was lowered for the last time on the lives of the members of the class of ’49. With tear-dimmed eyes, 1 glanced out the window'. The shower had passed and the sun was shining again. The manner in which this storm had come and gone resembled life itself. There are dark moments for everyone but sooner or later the sun will come beaming out of the heavens only to make the past a happy memory of the future. MARGARET A.

Page 54 A ONE ACT PLAY BY JOYCE FERREIRA IN THE LAND OF POPPIES TIME: 1922 SETTING: Flanders. France CHARACTERS: Jeanine and Paul adopted by the Dubois. Mr. Mrs. Dubois ACT 1 In the little seacoast town of Flanders lived Mr. and Mrs. Dubois an old couple who adopted Jeanine and Paul a feed 12 and 8. The scene opens in the parlor of the Dubois’ little home. It is simply furnished but it means a great deal to the old couple. While looking out the front window you are able to see a lovely garden with a rainbow of flowers dancing in the breeze. Over the front door is an arbor of roses which are just beginning to bloom. If we come a little closer we shall be able to hear the couple speak. MRS. DUBOIS: Oh Henri, since we adopted the children. I have had endless days of hapj i-ness. ••• MR. DUBOIS: I, too have been very happy, my dear Marie. Paul and Jeanine have made life seem w’orth while. MRS. DUBOIS: Being able to do little things for them, things I never did for children of our own. has made me young again. Henri, do you remember when we were first married how we both worked so hard to have our own home so when we had children wfe could leave them a peace knowing we were leaving them with a good security? MR. DUBOIS: Yes ma cherie, I remember. I remember also the war. The war that made you so ill . .. ill so we never could have children of our own. I remember how the Germans tortured our people until some of them thought death happier than life. Yes, I rememl� er. MRS. DUBOIS: Moving towards her husband whose face is lined with grief . . . Dear Henri, you should not be so bitter. Especially now. We have so much to thank God for. We have our life, our home, and two dear, sweet children who now are our whole world. Think of the joy we have in doing things for them. The little we do and have done has given us happiness. No, my husband, do not be bitter. Instead, thank God and pray He may make us better parents. MR. DUBOIS: As always Marie you are right. As her husband playt a tune on the piano, Mrs. Dubois walks to the window to watch for the children who soon will be coming home from school. In a little while she sees them, and husband and wife watch them coming down the road with a look of pride in their eyes. Now the children are coming into the house. JEANINE: Mama, Papa, we are home! PAUL: We are home. Mama and Papa! MRS. DUBOIS: Hello, mes petits, you look hot. And how did school go today? The children sit on the floor at the feet of their parents. Jeanine wears a blue jumper with a white blouse. Paul has short blue pants and a white shirt. MR. DUBOIS: Jeanine, how was your voice lesson, today? did you do well, ma cherie? JEANINE: Oh, Papa Monsieur Roland wishes me to sing at the recital he is giving for the townsfolk. May I Mama? Will you make me a new gown? One that will be all shining. Please, Mama! MRS. DUBOIS: (smiling) Easy ma petite, you are bursting with excitement. MR. DUBOIS: (patting his daughter’s curley hair). Jeanine, my child, you will have a beautiful gown just like the one the princess in vour fairy tale wore. Jeanine rising and sitting between her parents. JEANINE: Oh, Mama and Papa, I love you both very much. This brings tears to the couples eyes and Mr. Dubois says in a whisper . MR. DUBOIS: Anything for you ma cherie as long as mama and I live. PAUL: (who was quiet now speaks) Mama, on the way home 1 saw some Jeanine, what kind of flowers were they? JEANINE: Poppies, Paul, in Flanders Field. PAUL: Well. Mama, they were beautiful. May I please pick some for you? MRS. DUBOIS: Oh. my son, you are not allowed to take flowers from there because they are a tribute to the soldiers who died for us during the war. Any kind of flowers would we like as lang as they come from you. Paul, do you remember the poem “In Flanders Fields ? W hy don’t you recite it? PAUL.: (STILL SITTING AT HIS PARENTS FEET RECITES THE POEM) “In Flanders Fields the poppies blow Between the crosses, row on row, That mark our peace and in the sky The larks still bravely singing, fly, Scarce heard amid the guns below. We are the Dead. Short days ago we lived Felt dawn, saw sunset glow. Loved and were loved, and now we lie In Flanders Fields. Page 55 Take up our quarrel with the foe To you from failing hands we throw The torch; be yours to hold it high If you break faith with us who die We shall not sleep though poppies grow In Flanders Fields. When Paul finishes the poem there is a brief silence and then his mother speaks: And now you children sit here while your father and I get your supper ready. Mr. and Mrs. Dul ois leave the room. Jeanine walks towards the old piano and runs her fingers across it. She looks around the room. The carpet is a little worn. The chairs and couch are old but she sighs for she knows this is her home. She sits at the piano and starts to sing. Paul lies down on the couch and he soon falls asleep. Jeanine stops playing and falls asleep, also. Now we see Jeanine in a room that looks familiar. If we notice closely, we may see the couch and chairs with a deep red covering, the carpet is no longer worn but shining new and the red drapes are a red that matches the couch cover. The piano is a new spinet with a soft, sweet tone. She no longer wears her blue jumper but a sparkling gow'n. She sits at the piano and starts to sing. All of a sudden she stops. She gets off the stool and walks to the window. Jeanine speaks in a soft voice. JEANINE: From my window I can see the Orphanage of St. Rose. It is no longer new as it was when Paul and I lived there. I remember when Mama and Papa Dubois came for the first time to see us. We liked them right away and in six months wfe belonged to them. I remember how happy Paul was. Why, I can still see Flanders Field where the poppies grow'. Next to Flanders Field is the Church’s Cemetery. There mama and papa lie. But Paul, where is he? I am alone, alone as I was in the orphanage. She stops speaking and opens the window. Lightening flashes across the sky. Once blue but now grey. The w'ind is blowing in a high crescendo. Now' Jeanine seems to hear something. She listens for a while and then speaks. JEANINE: Who calls? Where are you? Who are you? Oh, I am frightened! Is this the end of the w’orld? The wind seems to be in a raging fury. Jeanine tries to close the window but cannot. It is now' raining very hard. Jeanine still hears the voice calling her. She cannot close the window, she starts to cry. Mama, Papa, Paul why did you leave me? Help me. Pm frightened. I’ve lost you and it is almost like being in the orphanage. Mama, Papa, Paul! Mr. and Mrs. Dubois hear Jeanine screaming, and they come running into the parlor. They find Jeanine lying in a faint on the floor. The window is open and it is raining. Paul is now awake and is wondering at the commotion. He speaks to his mother. PAUL: Mama, what is wrong? Is Jeanine ill? Is she dead? MRS. DUBOIS: No, Paul, she has fainted. Mr. Dubois lifts her up and places her on the couch. He chafes her hands w'hile his wife hurries to the kitchen for some water. It is no longer raining and the sun is shining once again. Jeanine begins to stir and she opens her eyes. MRS. DUBOIS: Ma cherie. what happened to you? MR. DUBOIS: Why were you screaming? Paul who is sitting beside his sister cries, Jeanine are you all right? You aren’t going to die are you? Please don’t die Jeanine: Mrs. Dubois with Paul on her lap. Hush my son, you will frighten your sister again. I et her tell us what happened. JEANINE: (speaking slowly) Are you all right? I must have fallen asleep. I dreamed that the poppies in Flanders Fields all turned into soldiers. Horrid German soldiers who wfere going to kill everyone. Then it began to rain and lightening flashed across the sky and seemed to me that these men were covered with blood, red-red blood like the poppies. Oh, c ’etait terrible! I guess Paul’s poem did it. N’est-ce pas vrai, ma mere? MRS. DUBOIS: It did rain my little one, but it has stopped and now is very pleasant. LOOK??? Everyone looks to the window' and Jeanine smiles. She walks to the piano and begins to play and sings “POUR JAMAIS ET JAMAIS” w'hile the curtain is gradually lowered. “POUR JAMALS ET JAMAIS MON COEUR SERA VRAI AMOUR POUR JAMAIS POUR VOUS J’ATTENDRAI TOUS DEUX ONT FAIT PROMESSE, QUE NOUS NE PARTIRONS FERMONS AVEC BAISSER POUR JAMAIS MON AMOUR! JOYCE FERREIRA ’49 GEORGIA'S GREAT AUNT A ONE ACT PLAY Characters: Miss Darwin — Georgia’s great aunt Mrs. Colby — Georgia’s mother Georgia Colby Mrs. Paxton — afternoon caller of Mrs. Colby Mrs. Barry — afternoon caller of Mrs. Colby Scene: The living room of Mrs. Colby, which Page 56 is furnished with average furniture. Mrs. Colby. Mrs. Paxton and Mrs. Barry are all seated when the curtain rises. Time: The time is the present. Mrs. Paxton—My, this is a lovely day to travel isn’t it? I’m glad for the sake of your aunt. Mrs. Colby — I do hope that she won't become suspicious alnnit Georgia. Mrs. Barry — What do you mean? Mrs. Colby — I guess that I never told you, but before Georgia was born we all expected a boy and when Georgia was born we hated to disappoint her great aunt. If she had been a boy. we had planned on naming her after her father so we still did and all these years her aunt has thought her name was George. Mrs. Paxton — Where is Georgia now? Won’t she find out and be very angry? Mrs. Colby — That is what I’m worried about. I’ve sent her to stay with her cousin until I send for her. Mrs. Barry — I’d hate to think of what her aunt will say when she finds out about Georgia. (Just then the doorbell rings and Mrs. Colby opens it and enters Miss Darwin) Miss Darwin —What a frightful experience I've had! I doubt if I’ll ever be the same. Mrs. Colby — Do sit down and tell us about it. I’ll help you if I can. Miss Darwin — Well, you see it was like this. I was at the railroad station and this group of hoodlums came along and nearly knocked me down. Their ball just missed my head but it sent my hat flying down the platform. I’m sure that my right foot is broken where the bicycle wheel went over it. and oh, my head, I think it is going to split. Then this lovely girl came up to me to help me. We had such a nice chat while we were waiting for the train. Enough of this now! Where’s this — this nephew of mine? If he is anything like those hoodlums I met at the station I’ll leave immediately. Mrs. Colby — I’m sorry to say that George is not .home just now. Miss Darwin — Well. I’m in no hurry to meet him since my experience at the station. (The-doorbell rings again and Mrs. Colby answers it. Mrs. Paxton and Mrs. Barry are stunned when Georgia walks in to the room.) Miss Darwin — Why this is the lovely girl I met at the station, the one I told you about who helped me! But. tell me. what are you doing here? I thought that you were taking the up train? Georgia — I was but I had to wait so long that I decided to come home. Miss Darwin — Home! Mrs. Colby —Yes, I had better explain I think. All these years we have let you think Georgia was a boy as we thought you would be disaoDointed especially after her father was killed the day she was born. Miss Darwin —Well, this is a pleasant surprise! And strange as it may seem. I’m not provoked at all. (she moves over to Georgia) And Georgia I know that we are going to get along very well. Also, by the way, about those music lessons you were telling me about, you shall have them at my expense of course. Mrs. Colby — I do hope that you will forgive me for deceiving you all these years. Aunt Ann. Georgia knew nothing about this. She is just as surprised as you are. Miss Darwin — Tst, tst, tst — think nothing of it. Just between you and I, I am glad that Georgia is a girl and not a boy! BARBARA CAMPBELL '49 WAY WARMING When I woke up this morning, The sun was shining bright, And sifting through the branches Came little shafts of light And gleaming pools of sunbeams Lay all about the lawn, The branches of the chestnut tree Were dappled like a fawn. The grass was like a fay’s dress All sparkling with dew, The wind was light as magic, The sky was misty blue. My heart awoke this morning, It laughed to see the sun, And up the shafts of sunlight I saw my spirit run. NORMA CAMPBELL 50 DAWN Softly now the sky lights up, Pink and blue and buttercup. Shadows cast their ghostly look On the meadow and the brook. Robins chirp and sparrows sing, God shows his hand in everything. A little breeze comes flitting past Stirring a bunch of feathery grass. A rooster crows, and wee lamb’s bleet. All Nature wakens fresh and sweet. MARY LOUISE ADAMS 10A Page 57 GYM EXHIBIT Cnee again, the evening of May dawned all too soon upon an excited group of hoys and girls. These were the participants of the 10th annual Gym Exhibition held in the Andrews Gymnasium. Under the direction of Miss Gladys Brightman and Coach Attilio Pansa an excellent display of gymnastic ability was shown in all different phases at the meet. The boys and girls appeared and performed in rotation — apparatus, tumbling, exercises, etc. Friends and parents were amazed by the stunts which required ease, grace and dexterity. A “clown act’ demonstrated by the boys and a relay race by the girls offered much hilarious amusement for the audience. To conclude the evening, the boys, arrayed in metallic paint, were arranged in effective tableaux upon the stage to the tune of a satisfied applause from the audience. GIRL'S SPORTS Field Hockey: When autumn comes around, the girls at Colt Memorial gather up their shin-guards and sticks, and assemble at the field for (he well-liked sport of field hockey. This year there were quite a few scrappy inter-class games of which the Seniors were the victors. The all-school team was the pick of the class teams and made quite a formidable opponent. Two games were played with Barrington, one at Barrington and the other in Bristol, both of which were won by Colt Memorial. Backetball: Basketball is another sport which is thoroughly enjoyed when participated in by the girls of Colt Memorial. All three classes had excellent teams and an interclass tournament. The upperclassmen were victorious by a large majority. Two games were played with Barrington. Volleyball: Colt Memorial has many volleyball enthusiasts among the girls. There were interclass which the Seniors finally won after defeating the Sophomore's by a very narrow margin. CLASS OF 1918 HOLDS CLASS REUNION November 2, 1948 The first class re-union, after 30 years, of the members of the class of 1918 of the Colt Memorial High School, was held at the White Rail Riding Club, on August 24, 1948. Nineteen of the 35 members of the class attended and two members of the 1918 faculty attended. Miniature photographs of the original graduating class and a roster of the class were distributed as favors. Robert B. Suzman, chairman of the arrangements committee, welcomed the assemblage, which included husbands and wives of some of the class members. A minute of silence in memory of three departed classmates—William Amanna, class president; Charles Francis Dimond Jr., Vice-president and Lawrence Sterling Edwards was observed. Suzman read to the gathering reports published 30 years ago of the Class Day exercises and the senior reception and dance. Members of the 1918 faculty introduced were Mrs. Algernon L. Johnston and Miss Charlotte A. Young. Class members present included: Mrs. Annie S. (Coggeshall) Cooke, class secretary, Charles Blackman, Abraham Blackman, J. Francis Connell, Miss Marion L.

(Walsh) Sylvester. Arrangements committee were Mrs. Garvin, Hughes and Suzman. After a delicious dinner and dancing several of the class were in “corners reminiscing of the “good old days gone by . The Case of the Double-Duty Fan This adventure all started the day I entered that quaint antique shop on 27th Street. I had noticed it on my way to an appointment three days before, and this was the first time I had had a chance to get back to visit it. It was about four o’clock in the afternoon when I opened the door, and upon hearing the merry tinkle of the bell set in motion by the door, a man, or at least a human being, entered the room where I was waiting. I can’t say he was an ordinary man. more like some freak of nature achieved by a sadistic embalmer. His head seemed to come to a point, crowmed by a mass of tangled gray hair, resembling writhing snakes, and his beady eyes darted over me in a way that made Page 58 my flesh crawl. His body was pitifully manned and out of shape, he had a limp caused by a hunched back, and when he spoke it sounded like nails sliding over slate. “Can I help you. Miss?” he queried. When 1 told him I wasn’t looking for anything special, he showed me around the shop from object to object, yet surprisingly did not try to sell me anything. Suddenly, behind a pair of voluminous book-ends, I saw it, a ! eautiful and delicate fan made of pure silk, embroidered in Chinese characters, and with a hand-carved ivory frame. At my exclamation of pleasure, th? little man’s gaze followed mine and 1 sensed he was apprehensive that I had seen the fan. We argued until finally he shrugged what were supposed to be shoulders and sold me the delicate fan. As I completed the purchase he said to me in a voice tinged with enmity, “The previous owners of this fan have found nothing in its ownership but ill fortune and sometimes even death!” With that, he stumbled out of sight, and I left the shop, glad to be out at last in the crisp winter air which made the past few minutes seem only a dream. The little man’s warning slipped into the recesses of my mind and I went on al out my affairs. It was about three weeks later that I recalled the man’s warning and began to fear especially that last phrase. My life became a perfect torment beginning on the night of Friday the 13th. I had been to a late show, and my escort and I had had something to eat afterwards. For this reason it was quite late when I fitted my key into the lock of my apartment door, only to find the lock was already sprung. I am not overly superstitious, but this was Friday the 13th. and I’m not one to tempt fate. I sensed there was someone in my room, and when I tried to switch on the lights and they didn’t work, my mind was made up. I wasn’t tired of living yet, and my friend Anne lived only two houses down the street. As I turned to go out the door, a shaft of light from the corridor illuminated the shining fan and the table next to the door. I suddenly realized this was the reason that the intruder was here, and determined that he shouldn’t steal what I had bought and paid for. snatched the fan as 1 ran out the door. Anne was very understanding, for I had stayed with her before and explained the urgency of the situation. All that night I saw that horrible little man from the antique shop chasing me out of my apartment, and fans, fans, fans. When 1 awoke, I was bathed in perspiration and Anne was shaking me. The next day I didn’t return to my apartment until five o’clock, but when I did, I thought I had the wrong one. All my letters and papers were strewn from one room to the other. The matress was on the floor in the bedroom, and both rooms were a shamble. !t wasn’t until ten o clock, with fift en minutes out for supper, that I had put the a -artment back in order. I took the small fan from my purse, seated myself in my favorite chair, and proceeded to study the fan carefully. There must have been something in or cn this fan that someone wanted badly enough jerhnp even to murder.. Suddenly, 1 remembered in whose possession the fan was and glanced around the room to reassure myself. This was the first chance I had had to really study the fan, and I found it a work of art. It was obviously Oiiental, because there were Chinese or Japanese characters embroidered in the silk. The handle was very unique, two delicately carved girls standing with feet together and arms extended upward, one denoting good, the other evil. When the fan was closed, the arms locked. I realized it had taken a great deal of ingenuity and was admiring its craftsmanship when I heared a click, like a key turning a lock. Snapping off the lights, I slipped into the bedroom and closed the door just enough so that I could see who it was trying to scare me to death or even murder me. As the intruder opened the door, the light from the corridor silhouetted him in the doorway. There was no question about it. He was the little antique dealer! The light that showed him so clearly, also showed the fan which I had forgotten on the table. By his squeal of satisfaction, I knew that he had seen it too, and I slipped the gun from my bedside table into my hand before I stepped into the room with him. I said, “Stand where you are or I’ll shoot!” just as his gnarled ham! was about to close around the fan’s delicate shaft. He glanced up startled and masked his voice with a pleasant “so we meet again,” —but this couldn’t mask his eyes which were filled with hate and greed. “Don’t try to soft-soap me,” I answered. “I know you are here to get that fan. Are you going to tell me what’s so valuable about it or shall I have you tell it to the police.” “No! Not that! I’ll tell you what you want to know,” he whined. I ordered him to sit on the stool where I could keep an eye on him, and he began to tell his story. Condensed, there was an international jewel ring which was using his shop as a go-between for the hot jewels until they could be recut and distributed. The jewels were sent in different articles previously decided upon. I guessed that the fan had been the article chosen for the latest delivery, and just Page 59 as I was about to ask how to get the jewels out, a shot rang out, and the little shop owner gasped and fell on the floor. By the gurgling in his throat I knew his lungs had been hit and that he wouldn’t last Ion ?. He opened his eyes and with a last desperate effort mumbled something. The only way I knew he was trying to say something was that his lips were moving convulsively. I rushed to the phone and called Anne, for she would help me out. I didn’t want to call the police, because I would have to part with the fan. After what I had been through to get and keep it, nothing was too great a sacrifice, except perhaps my life, money, my apartment, my job, — but I won’t list all those things now. While waiting for Anne to arrive, I sat down and inspected the fan. After a few minutes 1 heard two short taps on the hall door. “Anne”, I thought. “That’s the signal we agreed on last night!” I rushed to the door and threw it open. My heart clutched with terror. 1 staggered back into the room. “Anne’s changed,” I thought at first — but no — it was a strange man. His black hat was pulled down and his head was thrust into an upturned collar. The gun in his hand certainly wasn’t carved from a potato, stained with ink. “Get into that room,” he snarled. 1 snapped, “If you’re a thief, there’s thirteen cents under the lamp on the table. There isn’t any more.” ‘Funny girl, huh?” he replied. “I want that fan before you gets what coming to you.” He had left the door open when he pushed me back into the room, and Anne's head suddenly popped into view. “Oh! If she’d only hit him over the head,” I thought . . . but no!!! “Oh! Excuse me,” Anne said. “I didn’t know you had company.” At that the gangster wheeled around. Taking advantage of this opportunity, I grabbed the vase and smashed it over the man’s head. He sank to the floor with a groan and Anne and I proceeded to search him. We found a list of the whole international jewel gang. I was still looking at his papers when a word from Anne made me turn. “Oh dear!” she said. “You broke something besides the vase. It must have been on the table too, and when you grabbed the vase you knocked it off.” I felt sick as I saw my precious fan on the floor, the silk ripped and stained with blood from both victims, and the delicate shaft splintered. But. . . could I be seeing things? Yes . . . there they were. The large diamonds glittering on the rug took my breath for a moment. I carefully picked them up as I explained the mystery to Anne. When we were finished, I phoned the police and told them the whole story. The desk- '� rgf-ant fa� d there was a big reward for the jewel ring I had exposed. I told Anne the good news, and as we said goodnight, her parting words were, “Looks like you’ll be in the money. Dcn't forget the $1.20 you owe me.” Dorothy Parshley 12A CLASS DAY AWARDS Rhode Island Honor Society Seniors who have attained an academic average of 85r r or better in the Bristol Senior High school and who possess the other necessary qualifications of character service, and helpful leadership: Winners: 1948 — Josephine M.

Their first task was to elect their class officers. The result of the election was: President Evo Alexandre Vice President Nicholas Mansi Secretary Dolores Vargus Treasurer .............................. Barbara Garvey Executive Committee: Martha Nastri, Barbara Ferrara, Joseph Cabral, Joseph Malloy, Barbara Lombardi, Frances Viera. A play called “Elmer” was produced by the Juniors and was enjoyed by everyone. The students who participated were; Barbara Lombardi, Dolores Pivin, Dolores Fonseca, Lola Romano, Frances Catalano, Emilio Iannuccillo, Robert Arruda, Evelyn Jamiel, Norman Carlson. The big affair of the year was the Junior Prom held on May 6th. The auditorium was gaily decorated with the class colors, and the couples danced to the music of a popular orchestra. With many accomplishments behind them, the Juniors are looking forward to returning next fall as Seniors. Page 66 JUNIOR COLLEGE PREPARATORY AND GENERAL Page 67 JUNIOR INDUSTRIAL ARTS SOPHOMORE CLASS HISTORY The first meeting of the Sophomore Class was held October, 1948. The following officers were elected: President Richard Cordeiro Vice President Thomas Velleca Secretary Vivian Fojo Treasurer Bernice Manchester The Executive Committee: Amelia Hardie, Charles Alexandre, Peter Kinder and Robert Machado. On May 7, 1949, the Sophomores held their first big Social Event, The Sophomore Hop. The auditorium was gaily decorated with the Class Colors, Blue and Gold, and they certainly added the touch of spring. As the guests arrived, soft strains of music could be heard from the orchestra. Students of all classes attended and everyone had a wonderful evening.

Nominations were made and the following officers were elected: President Paul Bullock Vice President Joseph Russo Secretary Marie Quito Treasurer Marjorie Parshley Representatives: Louis Sousa, Joyce Ferreira, Louis Murgo, Raphelina Condelmo, Frank Cappabbianco, Lee Ann Rielly, Richard Bisbano, Ronald Rene, Alfred Costa. The Student Council is composed of five seniors, four juniors, three sophomores and one freshman who represent each room. The constitution of the previous year was retained which states as its purpose to promote school activities, develop a respect for school property, set up auxiliary student organizations, and provide for the general welfare of the student body. Under the careful guidance of Mr. Securo, faculty advisor, the organization has proved itself very successful and active throughout this school year, planning and conducting assemblies, promoting other activities, sponsoring dances and supervising the cafeteria. A well organized and successful “Career Day program was arranged and executed. It proved to be most successful. The Council has worked to the best of its ability to improve and promote student activities and to settle the difficulties which have arisen. Mary Quito Page 72 GIRL SHY On the 17th and 19th of February the class of nineteen hundred and forty-nine displayed much evidence of our very talented seniors with the production of “Girl-Shy”. This play concerns Barbara Sanford, a sophisticated young girl, who desperately tries to get acquainted with Tom Arsdale, who is very girl-shy. The trials and tribulations of these two plus the humor and troubles of their family and friends, provided for two qights of very pleasant entertainment. Each player portrayed his part realisly which is one of the reasons why this will long be remembered — not only by the audience but by the class of forty-nine. The cast included: Tom Arsdale Oke Stimpson Barbara Sanford Peaches Carter Birdie Laverne Alfred Tennyson Sylvia Webster Chuck Mayo Aunt Caroline Anthony Arsdale Dean Marlow Asma Frank Fojo Joseph Caromile Beverly Hill Janyce Megathlin Annmary Church John Sousa Jean Vermette Michael Flynn Jeannette Pivin John Schinigoi Paul Bullock Jeanette Jamiel Page 73 OPERETTA PRINCIPALS Page 74 SENIOR FRENCH CLUB Page 75 JUNIOR FRENCH CLUB The Junior French Class organized a French Club in the month of November of last year. At their first meeting. F. Viera was elected president; Barbara Lombardi. secretary; and Lucy Foti, treasurer. Future plans were made for the annual French Club Christmas Party. Their party was held December 19, Theresa Meiggs, chairman for the affair, and the other club members provided refreshments. All the party-goers had an enjoyable afternoon. Other plans were made to have a May Breakfast. B. Bullock D. Pivin Page 76 SOPHOMORE FRENCH CLUB The Sophomore French Club organised in November, 1948. At their first meeting Hazel Card was elected president; Jean Campbell, vice-president; Gerald Cashin, Secretary; Kenneth Robinson, Treasurer. At their second meeting, a social was held and Jean Campbell ar.d her committee provided refreshments. After several selections were sung and played they brought their day to a close by dancing to music furnished by records. Plans were made for a May Pole Party. Mary Louise Adams Page 77 BRISTOL SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL BAND As in the past years, our Bristol Senior High School Band performed very well during the year. It has always appeared at our football games, even when it rained. We wish to thank them for the part they played in adding to the school spirit to these games. Members of the band include: Drum Major: Beverly Hill. Seniors: Joseph Caromile; Frank Fojo; Janyce Megathlin. Juniors: Joseph Cabral; Billy Serbst; Margaret King. Sophomores: Lorraine Sylvia.

COUNCIL AND CHEERLEADERS ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION The students of the Bristol Senior High School elected the officers for the Athletic Association in the auditorium September 27, 1948 under supervision of Mr. Carlson, Faculty Advisor. The following students were elected: President Vice President Secretary Treasurer Assistant Treasurer Senior Representative Junior Representative Sophomore Representative Edward Machado Frank DeLeo Josephine Vitello Jean Vermette Barbara Garvey Virginia Liscomb Robert Arruda Dorothy Arruda The annual All-Sports Banquet was held February 26, and were honored by members of the School Committee and guest speakers. Everyone enjoyed the luscious turkey dinner served. As in the past, several assemblies were held during the three sport seasons for the purpose of awarding pins, letters, and emblems. The members of the Association were active at all the games to collect tickets. This year, however, $25.00 was donated for the Ambulance Fund. Our cheerleaders deserve honorable mention for the manner in which they conducted their cheering at all the games.. Page 80 COLT'S FOOTBALL TEAM Flying Colts Our football team started off the football season in high gear this year by defeating Rogers of Newport, 19-0. The two teams battled to a first half scoreless tie, but the team then started to move and Frankie Bruno scored twice in the third period. In the last period, Frank Fojo joined the scoring column. Bruno dropped kicked the extra point. An 18-0 victory over East Greenwich gave us our first Class C victory. Lou Murgo tossed to Ant DeMeo for a 30 yard run and a score. Another pass accounted for the second T. D., this time from Bruno to DeMeo. Neil Arrone smashed over for the last score. The Coventry team gave us our second league victory as the team slashed them 31-0. Fojo started things off by scoring from 3 yds. out and Bruno converted. Al Costa swept his left end, and in the second period went 16 yds. to a score. In the second half, Fojo again scored, this time from the 13 yd. line. Bruno scored the fourth T. D. When Coventry took to the air, Al Costa intercepted and dashed 55 yds. for the final score of the day. Our flashy backfield fattened our scoring averages when the team whipped Lockwood 41-0. It took our boys just eleven plays to score, with Frankie Bruno doing the honors. Murgo converted. Murgo passed to De Meo for the second touchdown. In the second period Bruno intercepted a pass and ran 40 yds. for a T. D. Val Verna ended the scoring in the second period on a 20 yd. dash, and scored again mid way through the third. The final touchdown was made by a Murgo-Russo pass. De LaSalle fell to our Green and White team 20-0. Frank Bruno received a Crusader point midway in the first quarter and raced 65 yds. for a T. D. In the third quarter Murgo passed to Fojo, who broke away from four tacklers to score. Midway in the last quarter, Murgo flipped 55 yds. to De Meo who ran into the end zone. (Con’t on page 101) Page 81 COLT'S BASKETBALL TEAM At the start of the 1948-19 basketball derby, our Colt squad, under the management of Coach Pansa and Coach Nash, was once again picked to win the class “CM championship. The squad consisted of twelve fine athletes, namely, Savy Mancieri, Ant I)e Meo, Lou Murgc, Lou Sousa, Frank Fojo, Joe Russo, Joe Pacheco, Herman Grafcert, Bernard Almeida, Val Verna, Ronrie Rene, and Pete Quito. The team, boasting a three year championship reign, had a winning streak of thirty-one consecutive league games. But like the old saying goes, “All good things must someday come to an endM, so it happened to our own local hoopsters on January 25, when the boys lost a heart-breaker to South Kingston 44-43. The consecutive game winning, now having reached 37, was finally snapped. To review the beginning of the campaign, we find Colt once again being invited to the famed Boston Garden to take on Lexington High. At first, the boys could not make heads or tails of the Bostonians, but after the first quarter, they snatched the lead and romped unrestrainedly to the score of 46-21. Lou Murgo, our proud Junior, led the Colts with 22 markers. December 10, and we again took to the road to meet Rogers High of the “A” division. Our same Lou Murgo netted 23 points, and sparked “Green and White” to a 44-27 victory. The annual game against the Alumni saw’ Savy Mancieri and Ant De Meo make 19 and 17 points thus overshadowing the graduates, 60-45. The opening night of our class “C” schedule found R. I. School for the Deaf, invading Andrews Gym only to be overwhelmed 85-44. Four days later, another class “C” favorite, Lockwood, received their first defeat of the year as they nearly overwhelmed us 49-43. Although beaten, the Blue Devils made certain to win on their home court and to capture the championship. (Con’t on page 100) Page 82 COLT'S BASEBALL TEAM The 1949 campaign will always be a memorable season for the Colts”, for the Pansa-men not only had a successwul season for the first time in a number of years, but went on to capture the Eastern Division Class C Championship. The greatest blow Colt received was a 10-5 setback by Burrillville in the playoffs. We must also remember however, that Colt defeated the Bronks 2-1 in a previous game. Colt also lost to Warren and Barrington, but in the second round we added two more victories to our list and once again we were on top. One of the highlights of the season was when the Colts picked up four runs in the eighth and ninth inning of the second Colt-Warren game, to nose out the “Red Skins” 4-3 Page 83 GYM TEAM GYM TEAM Page 94 VOLLEYBALL AND BASKETBALL TEAMS GIRLS HOCKEY TEAM Page 85 ACKNOWLEDGEMENT The Bristol Rhode extend 1949, Students of the Class of Senior High School, Bristol Island, at this time wish to their sincere thanks and appreciation to those whose co-operation and assistance have made possible the publication of THE GREEN WHITE and also to all other friends who in any manner contributed to the sucess of our school yearbook. —The Board of Editors V ❖ • ❖ ❖ ❖ ❖ ❖ ❖ ❖ ❖ ❖ ♦ ❖ ❖ ❖ ❖ ❖ ❖ ❖ ❖ ❖ ❖ ❖ ❖ ❖ ❖ ❖ ❖ ❖ ❖ ❖ ❖ ❖ ❖ ❖ ❖ ❖ A Page 87 THE GREEN AND WHITE ADVERTISEMENTS Our compliments to the Class of 1949, one of the finest we have ever been privileged to photograph.

On the fourth of January, Coach Pansa, rigged up again with Edgewood Junior College, and the boys furthered their great plans by nipping the College five, 72-70 with Lou Murgo tossing in a measly total of 27 points. It was Coventry’s turn to try to upset the champs, but Notly Oakers were dealt a brutal beating by the Colts 85-25. By now Lou Murgo was leading the entire state in scoring. Mancieri was setting up plays, Sousa and Fojo were doing a great job of keeping the boards clear and Ant De Meo shared the scoring with Murgo. January 11, Colt met up with its first scare when they tangled with Cumberland on the foreign court. The game was forced into overtime but the boys, piloted by Murgo, won 46-43. Finally, we met up with our chief rivals, Warren, with whom we were tied for first place. Colt led at one part of the game by 15 points, but was forced into an overtime game. Yet emerged winners 50-44. De Meo netting 16 points. The East Greenwich game was another close shave, but the boys managed to win 42-40 as a result of Murgo’s sharp shooting. So after three close games, the team finally snapped out of its slump, and scored over Barrington, 38-27, but finally on their own court, they were beaten by a single point to end the great reign as champs. The defeat just about destroyed the moral of Colt. Later Lockwood avenged their loss to the Colt by gunning them 52-49 on the formers court. Once again Murgo sparked for a losing cause. With two defeats on hand, Colt took their troubles out on North Kingston, beating them 78-42. De Meo tossed in 21 points w’hile Murgo followed with 22. The boys coasted smoothly by R. I. School for the Deaf winning 65-33, and Coventry 80-41. But again fate cast a spell over “the Green and White” quintet, and Cumberland pulled a major upset by winning in the final minutes 22-20. Warren, next, defeated us 52-45. Colt played host to East Greenwich, and defeated them 61-24, as De Meo and Murgo added to their point totals for the year. The Eagles of Barrington were a little sharper than usual when they invaded Andrew’s beating Colt 41-38. The final game of the season was against South Kingston on their own court. The boys were determined to make up for the previous failures of the team, and played “heads up” ball to win out 56-53. De Meo contributing 25 points. Although Colt did not win the championship the players had no reason to be ashamed because they had w'orked hard during the season but Lockwood, who had beaten us, clinched the flag. Lou Murgo topped all schoolboy scoring, and was the only class “C” or “B” player selected for the All State second team. If Colt had won their division championship, Lou would most likely have been named to the first team. Ant De Meo and Savy Mancieri were named to the All Class “C” team. Boys playing for their “Alma Mater” for the last time wrere: Mancieri, De Meo, Sousa, Fojo, and Verna. Page 100 FOOTBALL (Con’t from page 81) Colt had a harder time heating South Kingston 7-0. The two teams battled on equal basis with Fojo breaking away for a 35 yd. dash for a touchdown. Murgo converted. Burrillville High School’s unbeaten powerhouse knocked us from an unbeaten, untied, unscored upon, first placed position when they won 19-0. Kraunelis of Burrillville was the outstanding performer of the day. A blocked punt gave Burrillville its first score but only after overcoming a courageous stand by our forward line via a White to Kraunelis pass. In the second period, Kraunelis s ored again. Bernard scored on a pass for the final tally. The boys battled on, outcharged Warren High eleven to a 6-0 tie on Armistice Day. A bad break gave the ball to Warren on our one yard line. Servant, of Warren, scored three plays later. Late in the third quarter the Indians started to tire and with A1 Costa leading the attack, he tied it up when he drove 16 yards. Only time prevented Colt from winning, as they were deep in Indian territory when the game ended. Under a grey sky on Thanksgiving morning, Colt ended its 48 football season. Following a scoreless first period a thirty-five yard pass from Murgo to De Mco gave us our first score. Murgo scored from four yards out in the third period. Fojo scored a plunging gcal in the final period to give Colt a 20-0 victory. JOHN SOUSA Page 101 JutoyrafyliS — utocfranhs THE GREEN AND WHITE ADVERTISEMENTS V V V Y Y ♦I Hope Drug Co.
