It': all yourr now, Mr. Perry. The cordiality of Bristol High School stu- dents has made much easier my transition in midstream from one school to another.

A friendly school invariably means a happy school. This is as it should be, for contented people usually do a superior job. May you continue to be just as nice as I have found you to be. MR. PERRY Students of Bristol High School have been very fortunate in having a new principal who is so sincerely understanding as Mr. Perry. We seniors have many happy memories of our years in school.

A CRY EOR PEACE It seems our boys must go away To lands that are not near And try to better all the wrongs, So nothing we need fear. In troubled lands far away Many of them will die, But still the VOICE OF FREEDOM rings And PEACE is our reply. They fight to make our country free And fight to keep us oneg We always pray that someday They'11 return when war is done, To help us build a better land And help to keep us strong, And make sure old Freedoms Train Will keep rolling right along. So they will need our Savior's love To guide them through the toil And bring them all with safety back To our good old U. S. soil. And though our times are troubled And though rewards are few, We will thriveg and still strive To keep our nation true. Some people never seem to learn That war makes all men hate, So let us send our PEACE cries forth And pray we're not too late. For if we let this nation grow To a land that is not free We shall lose all godly rights And lose our liberty. So everyone must say his prayers To hasten our boys' return And listen closely when they tell The things we have to learng About war and all its grief Of war and all its strife- How men have fought for liberty Although it cost their life. Our new United Nations group I'm sure you will agree, Has started out to try to plant A brand new FREEDOM TREE, Now let us keep our Savior's love And hope that war will end, So soon we may all join hands And hearts may one day blend. So pray that God will guide us, And we may never cease To respect and love our brothers And have everlasting PEACE. Rosanne Sarojak 45 CLASS HISTORY Oh, my goodness. LOOK! LIFE has just begun. The TIME has come! Yes, on that special fall day, September 7, 1949, an historic event took place as the class of '53 gained full possession of the little school- house on the hill, while a few of us freshmen bashfully invaded the halls of Tech where we made up the first Tech class with an enrollment of over fifty. We were a scared and timid looking crew on those first days. What with changing classes, one way traffic, those different colored passes, homework assignments, and two lunch periods, things were in utter confusion. We practically jumped out of our seats the first time we heard a voice come out of nowhere, but it was only the harmless P. A. system. Classrooms had a way of hiding themselves in the oddest places, but using this as an excuse for going into class late lasted only about a week. At last we settled down to the old routine called work. The traffic squad lead by the alternating oflicers had the duty of informing the rest of us that the up stairs weren't meant to go down and vice versa. Things were no sooner running smoothly than it was time for our first big high-school dance, that unforget- table event traditionally dubbed the Freshman Frolic. Here was the chance for the female members to become acquainted with the male section including those from Tech who were rarely seen. We looked quite different and grown up in our party clothes. When we were dressed to kill, even ESQUIRE and VOGUE couldn't have criticized our get ups. After this memorable social event we began to wage an almighty political campaign to put up candidates for the class officers. The ballots showed that the victor was Scratch Gaski, who would be our first class president. The other famous officers were joe Roy and Bob Armitage sharing the position of vice president, Louise Frechette taking notes, and our millions placed in jack Driscoll's capable hands. We soon became avid sports fans and, not to be out- shone by the upper classes of B.H.S., we sent Hemond, Gaski, Armitage, Kallenback, and Olson to carry the pigskin down the field, while a couple of months later Scratch and his boys hooped in the baskets to bring the Freshman victory after victory in the basketball spotlight. Our Freshman cheerleaders did a commend- able job in cheering the boys on. They looked neat in their maroon and white uniforms. We had our own Student Council and occupied two whole pages of that famous paper called HORIZONS. Few if any of us will ever make the Metropolitan Opera, or see ourselves in the MUSICAL COURIERQ nevertheless, we eagerly joined the Freshman Glee Clubs lead by janet Bird and Joe Roy, and we might say that some of our productions did credit to their composers. Then one weekend came the news that our precious alma mater was in flames. We anxiously awaited the verdict of where we would procure our education, but the news came all too soon that the Freshman Building had been saved from serious disaster. Life is not all play, and B.H.S. is no exception. As our Freshman year drew to a close we dreaded the coming introduction to Bristol High exams, but we survived the battle and returned in fine shape to bid a fond farewell to the building and teachers that had helped to make our first year of high school complete. FORTUNE wasn't knocking on our door when in September 1950, we once again were scared and timid folk as we changed positions and became the scorned lower class of the Senior Building. Our Freshman troubles were mild compared to the ones we now faced, for in that famous edifice there were three times as many rooms to get lost in and the superior upper- classmen were no help to our cause. NEWSWEEK covered the din and confusion we made as we got into the swing of things and elected as president, Eugene Zahnkeg vice-president, George L'I-leureuxg Secretary, Frances Vasalavage, and entrusted our wealth to Norman Beland. A few of us were still unwittingly crossing the threshold of the famous portal which the upper, upper- classmen called the Senior Door, and meant it. How- ever, we learned our lesson after serious reprimand from the bosses We might have been mistaken for a GLAMOUR parade as we made our way to the high school gym for our sophisticated Sophomore Hop. On this night we monopolized the social spotlight of our school while Al DeCaro and his band helped to make the event a success. SPORT became the main topic as Young, Hemond, Gaski, Fiorito, and Olson were our delegates to the rough and ready eleven. Gaski, Fortier, and Peters did the honors as members of the basketball team. Something new was added-janet Daniels, Joyce Green, and Audrey Tomcheski displayed their twirling ability as they met and passed with Hying colors the qualifications of the majorettes. Pat Onofrio and Janet Bird became part of the squad that led the spirit of B.H.S. with school cheers. Then at Tech the boys received an unscheduled vacation when the University was closed so repairs could be made on the chimney. Our second year closed with the usual last minute cramming for exams, and deep down inside, we all knew we were no longer children, but the lords and the ladies who would preside over- the COSMOPOLITAN affairs of the next junior class. TRUE-that we were only half through our high school career at the opening of the junior year, but even so, we regarded ourselves as finished products and were determined to use our privileges to keep the sophomores in place. Dorsey Bilodeau kept in condition for cross country by dashing around the lunch room after milk tickets. Giles Levesque added his mighty bulk to help our team roll down the football field. We thought we knew all the tricks, but some of us still got stuck in the voting machines as we pulled the levers for Big Chief joe Roy, co-vice presidents Scratch Gaski, and' Jack Driscoll, keeper of the minutes, Hazel Santaniellog and Sally Gay, balancer of our accounts. DANCE became more than a magazine when in the middle of December, we began the holiday celebrations by gathering in the B.H.S. gym to hold the junior Barn Dance. On january 27, 1952, the halls were hushed, jokes and laughs forgotten as we heard the sad news that our beloved Coach had died. We will always remember the high ideals and standards Mr. Monahan set. He was everything good that a man can stand for, and we, who knew him, will never forget his remarkable character- istics and all that he did for Bristol High. In the AMERICAN way that he loved, the boys doubled their efforts to become SPORTS STARS in memory of him. Gene Zahnke and Ronnie Choiniere joined the other players as our basketball team moved to play its home games at the Bristol Arena, where Maureen McMahon, Peg O'Brien, and Gail Castonguay made their entrance as majorettes. Nadya Glowa donned her maroon and white beanie and joined the leaders of the Yea, Rah, Rahs. Those of us who went to the Junior Prom will always remember that night. When the dance was over and the crowd began to scatter we learned that outside we were having one of the wildest snow storms of the winter. POPULAR MECHANICS rushed to the aid of the boys as they fought the weather and tried to bring the cars-and oh, yes, the girls- home safely. Zahnke, Peters, Gaski, Hemond, and Losey helped our baseball team wind up one of the best seasons B.H.S. has known. Oh, what famous PEOPLE we were! The Atwood Award went to Dawn Hamilton, a sweater to Scratch Gaski, and Latin awards, cum laude, to those who had excelled in the Latin Contests. In June as we tackled our exams which, unfor- tunately, had been cut from an hour and a half to one hour, we stared into the misty horizons and saw our- selves as REAL seniors in just a couple of months. The PAGEANT was ending-the ADVENTURE al- most over! We were in our glory at last! For three years for morej we had been climbing to reach that top notch position-Seniors of Bristol High. We didn't have to be coaxed to take advantage of that special privilege of using the Senior Door, and being older, wiser, and more self-assured, we walked through the halls with confidence and perhaps a few airs. Unfor- tunately, the Senior class's strength at Tech dwindled from 58 to 24. How wonderful it was to be able to pass into assembly while the underclassmen stood envying us because they must remain upright until we were all seated. We experienced the added thrill of using the gym for our rally. Ah, what U. S. NEWS it was when the result of our campaigns and speeches was made known. Ambrose Fiorito was elected President, Tom Champa became his aide as Vice-President, Nadya Glowa took over the correspondence duties while Pat Norton held the key to our money vault. Holding a senior class ofiice is a difficult job, but these four took their respon- sibilities well and kept our affairs running smoothly. George Hemond and Ambrose Fiorito, co-captains of the football team, managed their squad splendidly. The B.H.S. eleven gave the opposing teams something to worry about as our boys scored the touchdowns and wound up a terrific season. Before we knew it, the football had disappeared for another year to be replaced by basketball, and co- captains Scratch Gaski and Harry Peters with their team displayed skill which won some exciting victories for the Maroon and White. Batons flashed as we moved back to the Armory and Audrey Tomcheski led her majorettes out in clever formations and twirling patterns aided by the catchy tempo of Terry Nelson and the band. The cheerleaders, with Janet Bird wearing the Maroon sweater once again encouraged the boys to do their fighting best. Gil Levesque, Dick Perry, Fred Shores, Vincent Anastasi, and many other hot-rod seniors, including a few of our hazardous females, kept the parking lot in an uproarg incidentally John Butler's Terra Plane lived up to the first part of its name. The office messengers were nearly run ragged bring- ing back to class the senior stragglers, who even after three years of practice, just couldn't seem to trot across the hall or down those many stairs in three minutes.

JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY One of the most important days of our life began on September 4, 1950, when we entered the doors of the Freshman High School. Before long, November 17 was here the day on which the Freshman Frolic was held. This was a gathering for all of us to get better acquainted. Shortly after came the time when one could walk around the school and see campaign posters in every direction. Rallies were held and eloquent campaign speeches were made. The final results were: Richard Kowalczyk, president, Gary McCarthy, vice-president, Marcella Doucette, secretary, and joseph Christopher, treasurer. Shirley Beliveau and her happy-go-lucky cheerleaders cheered our Freshman basket- ball to all but one victory. Here came june and everyone was buzzing about his first year of high school and all were looking forward to the big chance in Bristol High School. Once again, September is here. Almost immediately the elections were under way with more posters in the home rooms. The Sophomores had their first chance to use the voting machines. The oflicers elected for the year '51-'52 were: Richard Kowalczyk, president, Harry Dudzinski, vice-president, Florence Baron, secretary, and James Cross, treasurer. The cheerleading squad accepted Jeff Hall, Carol Molander and Shirley Onofrio. The majorettes accepted Patricia King, Priscilla Vallee and Florence Baron. On February 2, we had our Sophomore-Sno-Ball Hop. Joe Cooke and his Melody Makers provided music for the large crowd. Once again, we ended another successful year of high school. Here we are, back to B.H.S., seeing many familiar faces. Election days are back again and as usual, you see more posters. The election results were as follows: Socrates Chekas, president, james Cross and William Dormady, vice-presidentsg Joan Biskupiak, secretaryg and Patricia Corcoran, treasurer. More of our wonderful Junior girls are added to the twirling and cheering squads. They are Audrey Hector, Patricia White, Judith Cari and Joyce Green for majorettes, and Ann Powers and Betsy Gillilan for cheerleaders. Now comes the time you see all the girls racing uptown for new, blue jeans, and sports shirts for the junior-Senior Barn Dance held on january 17. Music was provided by joe Cooke and his Melody Makers and was enjoyed by those that attended. Our high school basketball team is already in progress and with the help of the Junior players, Sock Chekas, George Gutska, Rit Kowalczyk, Harry Dudzinski, and Leonard Ruskowski, it looks as if they are going to Boston. The junior Prom held on April 25, was a grand success. The theme of the dance was Springtime, the gymnasium was beautiful with decorations by the Paint and Palette Club, the evening one long to be remembered. We are now at the end of a third successful year and are all looking forward to our Hnal year of Sli in Bristol High School. We wish all underclassmen the good luck which we have had. 53 'W f '12 31 W1 A .avg I ., L i L . H L, In .Wh NM - -3 , qv: ,gy -5 yy mm: 7 , V ,Jw 'Q wq:+,,fz ,. 1 MM L kwa '.u,,' 4-W 'M-,.,, gf, Sw?

Being a little excited, we all entered and, of course, all of us were confused about the one Way traffic system and the different passes. Most of all, we were astonished by the public address system in all the rooms. Freshman Frolic time rolled near and everyone had a ticket to go. What a night! Most of us will never forget it. Of course, election came around and those campaign managers did all right for their candidates. Everyone can't win so the results were as follows: president, Bob Daileyg vice-president, Ronald Stocks, secretary, jackie Dupuis, and treasurer, john White. Freshman have their own basketball team and what a squad we had under the leadership of Yosh Redman. We had a season of eight wins and one defeatg that one was by the Alumni. We had a great cheering squad under the leadership of Sharon Rulli. Exams came and everyone realized that he had enjoyed his first year as a high school student. September again, only this time we were going to school as Sophomores and not Freshman and we were in the Senior Building. Election day came soon this year and everyone was waiting to vote, for this year we had a machine. The politicians were Sal Duke Acampora, presidentg George Anchers and Claudette Thibodeau, vice-presidents, Mary Hyland, secretary, and Barbara Russell, treasurer. Claudette Thibodeau and june Desjardins are now cheerleaders and all the Sopho- mores are proud of them. Barbara Russell, Susan Metzger, and Elizabeth Theriault are the strutters from the Sophomore Class. The Sophomore Hop was held early this year and went oil very well. The music wasl supplied by Al DeCaro and his band. All is over now, that is, the Sophomore days are overg and all the happy moments will long be remembered. In September, 1953, we will again be entering the Senior Building but now as juniors. Our hrst two years were wonderfully happy ones, and we all hope our next two will be even happier. . . . and dance 2' an is 'K .. , ...N Jw ..,. 'QV x . .

The pupils are rushing from room to room, and others are laughing and talking gaily. The teachers too always have a cheerful smile for everyone passing by, while our principal tries very hard to make sure all the rules and regulations are observed. One of our recent rules which has worked out nicely is the one-way traffic rule. It saves mix ups and accidents. We had three very interesting assemblies: Thanksgiving assembly and Christmas assemblyg but the one that was most enjoyable was held in connection with the preliminary elections. The results of the election were Robert Swat Duval, presidentg Don Fortier, vice-presidentg and Bill Galske, vice-presidentg Beverly Cross, secretaryg and Frank Drzwiecki, treasurer. Wednesday mornings Savings Stamps are sold. Later, we have chorusg each week the upstairs and downstairs take turns. While one is in chorus, the other is in guidance. The Freshmen have a page and a half in the Horizons, The staff works very hard to make it humorous and at the same time interesting. There are clubs and organizations such as the Camera Club, Boys' and Girls' Glee Clubs. French Club, International Relations Club, Girls' Federation, Athletic Association Horizons, Band, Orchestra, and many more which we have enjoyed attending. We also have a student council which is the most important of all. Everyone knows we also have a great basketball team with John-Paul Lefebvre as captain. They have been wonderful. The same goes for the cheerleaders. We hope they will do as well in the future on the varsity team. We also hope that in the years to come everything works out as well as it has this year. . . our beam were young and gay . . . K: 115' . . I f 4' ,I Nmx' . .mv DP Mn Figs Q 3?

These new members who have met the four qualifications, scholarship, character, leadership, and service, are tapped in the homerooms by the members of the Honor Society. A paper replica 60 of the National Honor pin is pinned on the members elect which indicates throughout tapping day that they have finally made it. Tapping just before Christmas vacation is followed by an informal initiation in january which is held in the school library. Tapping in the spring is followed by an impressive formal initiation in the high school auditorium. National Honor Society members, wearing blue caps and gowns and carrying lighted candles, march to the slow music of the Bristol High School band. At each ceremony the initiates receive their treasured pins and certificates of membership -tangible evidence of excellent character, high scholarship, wise leadership and unselfish service. The National Honor Society elects four ofhcers each year and meets every other month. The members offer their services to the students of Bristol High School by tutoring those who request aid in various subjects. They act as guides during the first few hectic days of school. If there are new students in school, they try to make them feel at home and help them get acquainted with the other students. They also offer their services to the community by contributing gifts to the Family Service Agency at Christmas time. The members always enjoy the annual tour of one of Bristol's factories. The pot luck supper is a source of enjoyment and relaxation for the members and their guests. One of the highlights of this program was the part the Bristol Chapter had in the induction ceremony of the newly established Torrington Chapter.

Gridders had a highly successful season this year by copping four out of six CCIL contests, thanks to the fine mentoring by Coach Tom Mona- han.

SOCCER C Confined to three wins and one tie out of ten contests, six of which were CCIL, the maroon and white booters had a rather poor season this fall. The activity, though, proved very useful for many of the boys who wanted to get in shape for the winter sports. Of course the team was constantly meeting and making lasting friendships with many of the out-of-town participants in the sport. GOLF Something comparatively new on the Bristol High School sports front, coached by Mr. Doyle, was a golf team. The golfers succeeded in winning only one out of ten encounters. But with this record, the boys were not disappointed, for this was only a foundation for more experienced teams in the future. GOLF TEAM Left to right: First row: Ryan, L. Dimeo, Mr. Doyle.

'I l GIRLS' SPORTS SOCCER Although this year the Senior girls couldn't get a soccer team together, the underclassmen could be seen on the athletic field battling with each other trying to kick the ball through the goal posts. After many strenuous games, the juniors were finally victorious. This sport is under the direction of Miss Kennedy. BASKETBALL We're all ready to go-the whistles-ball in play-Seniors have possession, Captain Nella KAI jabsb Diani takes the ball in the center-phweet-the game has started. Diani to Veilleux to Narsis-whoops-slipped. Juniors have the ball but not for long. Glowa intercepts, throws to Lewandoski who rifles it to Diani- swish it's through! That's the way the game starts every Wednesday and Friday. Not many Senior girls have gone out for sports this year, but the ones that have make up for the deficit. The girls enjoy their intramural basketball, but just to see how they compare with other teams, they visited New Britain in January. They were beaten in all but one game Cas is usually the casej but hope to avenge these losses when they meet New Britain for volleyball. The various teams were captained by Nella Diani for the Seniors, Pat Corcoran for the Juniors, Pat Burns for the Sophomores, and Gwen Baker for the Freshmen. SWIMMING This popular sport is enjoyed by the girls on Wednesday and Friday after- noons in the Bristol High swimming pool. Under the direction of Miss Lapp, new techniques are learned by the mermaids. Leaking bathing caps are the reasons why so many girls go home with dripping tresses. All in all, a good time is had by those who participate in this sport. VOLLEYBALL Volleyball, a winter season sport, is becoming more and more popular with all the girls at B.H.S. Competition is becoming extremely sharp among the various teams. Under the supervision of Miss Lapp, volleyball is well represented by members of all four classes. SOFTBALL With the arrival of Spring, comes a great competitive sport, softball. Girls, representing all four classes, enjoy the great sense of sportsmanship and teamwork which they obtain. ARCHERY Owwww! Whoops, wrong target! Yes, these are the archers of B.H.S. Even though their skill in shooting arrows is somewhat questionable, the girls have a great time in the spring participating in this sport. Under the direction of Miss Lapp, the girls try to master the skill of Robin Hood. TENNIS Six-Love. When Mother Nature dons the first signs of Spring, the tennis courts of B.H.S. are crowded with enthusiastic beginners. After a couple of weeks of mastering the skills of tennis, the girls begin to concentrate on the game. By the end of the season, sunburned faces, legs, and arms are evidence that this sport is popular with all. 86 .5- 3 I! 51.18 -,fx Ufffi ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION OFFICERS Seated, left to right: Werner, Treasurer, Gaski, President, Peters, Vice-Presidentg Komoroski, Secretary. ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION Mr. Cooke President ......r,...A..., Edward Gaski Secretary ,. Carol Komoroski Vice-President .,.,.. Harry Peters Treasurer .. , ...... Ruth Werner Your A. A., please? Have you your A. A.? Yes, we're punching A. A.'s. These and many more statements are some of the commonest around B.H.S., for everyone who wisely purchases one of these A. A. cards at the beginning of the school term may buy tickets for all games at a reduced price. Is that all there is to the Athletic Association, then? No, that's only the beginning. This A. A. is the organization that manages all of the financial affairs of our sports activities. Football, soccer, basketball, baseball, tennis, track, cross-country, golf, and swimming are the sports that we compete in with other schools. Then, theres volleyball, archery, softball, as well as the cheerleaders and the majorettes, plus all of the girls' sports that need be equipped. And, in addition to this, all of the awards for the aforementioned sports must be purchased and presented. Our A. A. is certainly a hard-working and worthy organization as it supervises our most extensive extra-curriculum schedule-that of Sports! B8 Carol checks the records 1 ,xwlb ra, 5 ' 5. 1 ,K Q .

Meanwhile the Machine shop seniors were busy pre- paring a project for the New Britain Teachers' College Display. News? We were kept up to date on the latest events of Bristol High with Bob Lewandoski editing the Horizons, and we all anxiously awaited the publication of the Torch which we knew would be at its best with Dixie Vaughn and Dawn Hamilton as co-editors putting in many hours of work with the rest of the staff of this famous book. Those interested in learning the art of speeding over the snow on wooden slides joined the Ski Club which was off to a good start under Sally Gay's direction. For these members each weekend was a winter HOLIDAY. The singing members of our class got in voice with Judy Chellberg and Robert Carlson presiding over the Glee Clubs. The girls became Daisy Maes and the boys Little Abners to celebrate Sadie Hawkins time at one of the best dances we had. Dawn Hamilton, as President of the Girls' Fed., was rewarded for her efforts to make that dance a success, and she and the executive Board againdid a good job, when at the beginning of Christ- mas vacation, we, attired in our best formals, danced under the mistletoe at the Holiday Ball. In December our principal, Mr. Manuson, whom we admired and whose advice we had often sought, left his desk and office to accept a more important place in our school system. We were sorry to see him leave, but congratulated him on his appointment to his position as assistant superintendent of schools. We were fortunate to receive in his place Mr. Perry, who, we soon learned, was a most capable governor of B.H.S. We bade another sad farewell to Mrs. Wozenski, who had been a swell teacher and friend to all, and who had resigned to be with her husband, a Captain in the U. S. Army. Our social life took on a new highlight. On the schedule was another pantaloon get-together. The junior and the Senior Barn Dances were combined, and the fun was doubled. Once more in faded dungarees we did the Virginia Reel and raised the roof with the Mexican Hat Dance in a contest to see who could Hing his partner the farthest. One day in january we opened the newspaper to find Dawn Hamilton's name in headlines. She had won Bristol's nomination for the honored D.A.R. award. Walter Wojnarowski became the first member of our class to be lost to the draft. Some of our All Americans were to be congratulated when they were awarded sweaters for their enviable sports records. We took our place in nationwide affairs-meaning the Honor Society, with Bob Lewandoski governing its activities. To this B.H.S. Chapter a few Juniors had been initiated in May, a few Seniors at the half year and again a small group were honored in the Spring. One of the Tech seniors, Howard McHugh, placed third in the State Science Fair. Ruth Parlow received honors for her art work entered in the Scholastic Con- test, and once more some of the members of our class were awarded certificates for excellence in the Latin Contest. Of course, there was never a dull moment in STU- DENT LIFE when we had ideas or suggestions to make. When these cropped up, Gene Zahnke took the gavel in hand to call Senior Building Student Council to.order or Roland Choquette and his boys put their heads together over at Tech to find a solution to a problem. And when things really got complicated or a crisis arose, George Hemond was ready with the Interbuilding Student Council for a round table pow wow. The clock hands seemed to Hy faster as the minutes, hours, and days passed all too quickly. Spring fever and ROMANCE arrived hand in hand tokmeet the hushed whispers and plans for the Senior Prom! The girls became Cinderellas with their charming princes as gowns swished and hustled in a beautiful array of rainbow colors. AMERICAN PHOTOGRAPHY was at its best to capture the pages of SEVENTEEN come to life. The boys looked older and more sophisticated in their tuxes while superb decorations and soft music made a perfect setting for our last high-school formal. What would we have done without those who worked in the school store and during lunch, without the Freshman Buzz and Inside B.H.S., keeping us informed about the SATURDAY EVENING POST dates, and without the many committees and other helping hands which had made our social and class events possible? If we only had time and space we would mention all of the names-but four years have gone by-four of the best years of our lives and with that piece of sheep skin which most of us still proudly frame comes the time to say- Goodbye forever, B.H.S., but only So Long for Now to the COMPANIONS and FRIENDS we made, many thanks to our principals, our faculty, the office workers and everyone else who was a part of the unforgettable FAMILY CIRCLE we found within the famed halls of Bristol High! janet Bird Robert Lewandoski E E25 W3 ww' HES-f is phrases.
