Many of our classmates have already answered the call, and are at present fight- ing for the victory which we know is inevitable, no matter how long in coming. it is through the medium of this Class Book that we shall recall our friendships in Bulkeley, and as the years advance we shall real- ize more and more the real value and meaning of our high school days. To our teachers and our classmates, we express our gratitude for their assistance and patience, and especially to Dr. Feingold for his untiring aidg to Miss Potter for her devoted and cheerful assistance, to the office girls for their willing guidanceg to Miss Safford and the Art Staff for their fine wcrkg to the typists, Bessie Lake, Barbara Pfanensmith, and Rita Granata, with special credit to Marian Failla, for their seemingly untiring laborg and to those numerous persons whose little contributions have added up to make this Class Book the success which we hope you will find it.

Our Principal QL!-xsg OF '45 -Em-A.f5s.f i.. - f ' ' :iff si OUR PRI NC I PAL'S MESSAGE With the lowering of the draft age to eighteen years, the entire outlook on life among American youth was completely altered almost overnight, and the responsi- bilities of educators and the government to young men of high school age under- went a corresponding change. The supreme purpose of the youthful years is preparation for life. The dominating spirit is that of hope, and the sustaining sentiment is ambition and the desire to be free. All this of necessity had to change when the clarion call came to American youth to rush to the defense of American freedom and to rally to the support of the faith of their fathers. They have responded readily and willingly throughout the land. The war made it necessary for the high school youth to devote all his time and energy to preparation for the grim business of war. His horizon has been narrowed, perhaps, and from gazing into the limitless future he has been constrained to fixate the closer and more immediate needs of battlefield and military duty. But even with this extraordinary change in outlook and objectives, the present war offers to the American youth of today such opportunities as the fathers of this country possessed when they laid the foundation of freedom, liberty and human decency. This war will be known as the third and, let us hope, the last war fought in behalf of human rights. The first was the Revolutionary War which resulted in the establishment of the cherished principles of freedom. The second was the Civil War which had to be fought to remove the last chains of human slavery. And now we are engaged in the greatest of all wars to preserve our freedom and to remove the shackles of dictatorship and the attempt to set up a dominat- ing master race. For what was true of our own country in the 1860's is equally true of the modern world in the 194-0's, namely, that the world cannot endure half free and half subjugated. The brave young Americans of today will see to it that the world becomes wholly free, and with such a world even greater vistas will unfold, richer opportunities will arise, and hope will abound forever in the human breast everywhere in the world.

On behalf of the Class of 1911-3 it is my privilege' and pleasure to welcome you here tonight to participate in our Class Night Exercises. At this last informal gathering of our class our minds go hack through four short years. We think of the gay social events, of the athletic contests, of the many assemblies, and last of our struggles to gain the knowledge that will help us to do our part in this world conflict. We here publicly express to you, our parents, our gratitude for the opportunities you have given us, and for the sacrifices you have made for us. We thank our teachers and our friends for the patience they have shown in trying to instill in us the desire for the finer things in life. Before you are our representatives whom the class has chosen for their ability and talent. The program which they have prepared will show you not only some of the serious side of our school life but also much of the lighter side. Let me again, in behalf of my classmates, welcome you to our Class Night Exercises. WALTER T. SULLIVAN Class Night Chairman 119 CLASS Of '45 Eli-vss, f u YT 277 -:.fi fY : - CLASS ORATION THE CHALLENGE or THE WAR T0 AMERICAN YOUTH EFORE.anyone. can write or speak at length on .any general topic, he must first decide within his own mind what his stand will be. He must determine what to him is the essential thought in question. War, if it is anything, is a challenge to American youth. What is that challenge? ln what phase of the war does it lie?-the battles ?-the victory ?-or the peace? I say it lies in the peace! For weml refer not only to the youth of America but also to the youth of the worldfwe, the meek, shall inherit the earth! The world will no longer belong to our fathers after the war is over, for, by then, we shall have come into our own. By then we shall be old enough to have a voice in our government. The destinies of our legislatures will be in the palm of our hands. At the moment we can only fight this war because we have no voice in its running, and, in time of war, youth must serve! But while we're fighting, we must also think. We have a decision to make, and that decision which will decide the destiny of the new world must be made on the battlefields of the old world. And at night, when the body cries for sleep and the mind seeks surcease, the question will come up again and again and it will cry out for an answer, a truthful, definite answer. It is our challenge. This challenge will manifest itself in many small questions and minute details, but we must not overlook them. for they add up as sure as numbers do to a positive sum. Here is one of the main questions which must be answered: not ls all this worth it? but ttWill all this be worth it?', And the answer to that lies in other questions: 'LIS the price of peace worth payingfwg HCan we pay it? g uAre we willing to pay itfwg uCan we afford to pay it? All this leads us around to our original position. It is a vicious circle, but, if we can once make a decision on any one question, the train of thought will slowly unravel from a closed curve into a sure and straight line to infinity and along that linefthe world must pace. Wle must first win the war to gain peace, but you will notice that I say peace, not the peace. For, while we are winning the war and when the war is won, we must fight another battle not of guns and death, but a battle of wills and thoughts, a battle fought to win the peace! And that battle must rage within our minds, within our hearts, amongst us as a group. People will say, and there will be many of them, that youth has no right to think about ideals, about governments. Youth must not make up its own mind! 120 C L.,-Q55 OF A 5 Em-x.Es. sh, ag , I 5-f -ff S That is the duty of the elders. Youth must take orders. And then when youth is older, like a grown up child sheltered from worldly experience, it may walk alone. But war doesn't shelter. Least of all does it shelter youth. Youth will get plenty of experience. Youth will be made a man on the fields of death! When I hear people put forth such views, which in plain English simply mean children are to be seen but not heard, it makes me wonder why they do not go the whole way and say youth must not only not be heard but it would, be just as well if it werenit seen either! The revised quotation is no more ridiculous than the original. This also brings to mind some lines written by Tennyson in the 'fluight Brigadei'-A 'gTheirs not to make reply, Theirs not to reason why, Theirs but to do and die! Those words thrill the heart. They make beautiful poetry, but rather impractical reasoning in this case. True, Tennyson did not write those lines in application to the present problem, but those people who wish to put down the spirit of youth say practically the same words. This time, youth isnit going to take things lying down. After the last war, our fathers did, and we see where we areg and if we do it, think where our children will bel A while back, I said 4' .... in time of War, youth must serve. May l add to that?-ln time of war gone by, youth must be served. This time, youth will build the house that the world will live in. Youth will decide what materials will go into that house. Youth's determination will be the foundation. Youth will draw up the plans and carry them out. And youth will live in that house, happily. I do not mean to say that youth is infallible and can do no wrong. We shall make mistakes along the rocky path to peace. but l think we shall know what we want and l think we shall know how to get it. We have the mistakes of our fathers staring us pitifully in the face. We have the many suggestions as to what makes for peace and what makes for war. We have hundreds of blueprints for peace. We have all the past history of the world to look at. But here is where another problem confronts us. We must pick and dis- tinguish that which is good from that which is bad, and then somehow, in some way, with the grace of God, we must fashion together with our own ideas and ideals a pax universa, a universal peace, a state of world society in which there will be con- tinuous peace. We must do that which has never been done! How shall we do it? What will it be done with? What will it be based upon? l do not know. But l am thinking! l know my challenge and l am thinking as every youthful American must think. And some day when the war is done and the battle has been won, l shall answer my challenge. I shall answer it with a clear- headed, clear-cut decision. For l shall know by then what l want to do with my heritage, and so will all of us. And gently but with firmness of purpose, with our plan of futurity in mind, with the knowledge that this time, it is do and do right or forever dwell in misery, we 121 CLASS OF? 145 Evx-tees. L..

HARRY VIENS D D CLASS ESSAY MY FAMILY AND BASEBALL - WONDER if any of you have families that are insane on the subject rg-ggi' of baseball. When your brothers are asked what they want more than anything else for Christmas, do they reply, without a mornentis hesitation, A baseball teamlu? Do any of you have sisters who are quite certain that when they get married, they are going to have ten children-nine boys for a baseball team and one girl for a mascot? Do any of you have friends who refuse to saunter home at a moderate pace because they must hear every word of the afternoonis ball game as brought to them by the cereal that all ball players eat? Are your meals enlivened by constant argument over the respective merits of favored ball clubs? Or is yours a happy life? There isn't anything petty about our household when it comes to baseball. Practically everybody favors a different team. At the present moment my brother prefers the Chicago Cubs. Last year he was a fervid worshipper at the Yankee altar. An unintentional and almost unnoticeable slight to his idols: the mere conjecture that maybe there was a team as good as the Yanks somewhere in the universeg an inadvertently expressed thought that there might be some player as good as a Yankee playerg all this was to him the grossest of sacrilege. He was, therefore, very down- cast when the Yanks lost to the ignominious Cards, and completely ignored the subject of baseball for almost two weeks. Then one day, apparently having re-- covered with the true buoyancy of youth, he announced that the Cubs were his favor- ities, and he has been following them ever since. My sister is a rabid fan of the Brooklyn Dodgers. I readily admit that rabid fann is by now a ragged and timeworn phrase, but I doubt that there is any other which conveys so well the attitude of the Dodger admirer. g'Red, my sister, becomes 122 CLA-55 QF '45xEs.x-vis. - S-Reffx - ......: acutely nervous every time she hears that a Dodger has been called up, and if, as in the case of Leo Durocher, there is any delay in ascertaining whether or not the player has gone into the service of his country, she has the whole family unnerved by the time a decision is reached. She once announced triumphantly last January that everything would be all right because the Dodgers were sure of fourteen players who couldnit be drafted, as they had families. The only drawback was that of these fourteen at least seven were pitchers. Still, she was confident that they could be trained for other positions. After all, they were Dodgers, and Dodgers can do anything. My mother and I like the Cincinnati Reds. Considering their rank in the National League for the past several years, it takes two of us to defend them properly against the insulting onslaughts of those who are interested only in the top teams. I argued all last year, to no avail, that the Reds had the best pitching staff in both leagues. This slight exaggeration was overlooked since my sister and brother could instantly retort that it took runs to win a game. This point was particularly sharp as the Reds had, really, nothing on their team but a bunch of good pitchers and a few developing fielders. Of course, if you want to look at baseball in the hardened fashion of games won and lost, I suppose there is justification for their taunts. But I embrace the more aesthetic idea that it is better to have a near-perfect pitching staff and win only occasionally than to win consistently with only a fair squad of hurlers. I know that in his earlier college days my father cut classes in order to attend games in Cincinnati. Aside from that, however, I have never heard him express any preference as to teams. I suppose he has decided that four baseball enthusiasts in a family of five is a large enough representation. It is quite possible, I have been told, for a family-that is, a sane and well- balanced family-to struggle on for weeks, even months without any mention of baseball. Some even manage to carry on fairly intelligent conversations without bringing it in. As far as I am concerned, this is a fickle rumor and nothing else. Strangers crossing our threshold are judged solely by their knowledge of the only topic of conversation which the younger members of our clan are capable of discus- sing coherently. Oftentimes it is necessary to provide translators for those who are initiated into the numerous intricacies of the jargon. I have seen many prospective friends flee in astonished wonder from our door, never to return, frightened away by the unspeakable gibberish that was hurled at them from all sides. While this system cleans out the chaff successfully, it also leaves some kindred spirits who are quite at home in the field of baseball. Other families have different ways of losing friends and influencing people, but I think the most effective system is that of the family which is insane about baseball.

Come on, let's sit over here and review the good times we had at Bulkeley. You know I think Morgan G. was very fortunate to have a class like ours enter its doors in the fall of 19440. Why, I can remember- B. A. M.-Wait a minute-just because you came here as a sophomore from Burr doesnit mean there wasnit any freshman class. We had loads of fun that year. The Girls' League made it easier for the members of the fairer sex to get acquainted by holding their annual Hallowe'een party. Shortly after that, we all attended Father-Daughter Night. Gloria Gray made her first appearance in the limelight that nightg Jo Wodecki and Regina Meegan were already known for their dancing ability. Still another event that the Girls, League sponsored was the Leap Year Dance, and it was here many of us made our social debut. Perhaps you don't remember, but that year the Junior Dramatic Club presented Mr. Justice Jimmy, which starred such thespians as Margaret Dickie and ujinnyw Anderson. So you see we did man- age to struggle along. Now as you were saying- 1. Mc.-Ahh! Our sophomore year. That was when we came in from Burr. It was the same year that ,lane Connelly, Marguerite Cullina, and Bill Crowley made their start on the Torch staff. There's Kay McCann and Joyce McCarthy. Remember when they 'made their first appearance on the stage of good old B. H. S. in Torch Nile and Dial Nite? B. A. M.-Harry Viens over there was the only one in our class to make the Dial Board that year. Will you ever forget the good times we had? There was the Girls' League formal. That was the first one they ever had and it was wonderfulr Then there was the operetta, Hollywood Extra, in which gflinnyf' Anderson had the lead. Oh, there are George Smith and igChick Sposito, the only ones in our class to gain a spot in the sports limelight that year. A I. Maflill never forget our junior year, even though the only football games we won were the ones we played with Hall and Manchester. Bernie Cacase, Havey Sandler, Rocco Sinisgalli, Bob Custer. Bob Carlo, John Blessis, and Forrest Kelsey made their way into the lineup and did some fine work. The business board of the Torch got a good start with the help of James Jerome Kline, Anne Goodchild, Barbara Johnson, Rhoda Luscomb, and Barbara Pfanensmith. B. A. M.-Yes, and on the editorial staff could be found such notables as ,lean Clark, Margaret Dickie, HGinny,, Lach, Ellen Morhardt, HGinny,, Lavelle, and Mae 126 C f ASTS,QF is 5 XEM-+x.f5,. J- -- fl ,X S - , - -7 rv Y .4 L-f V. f -- S I Cavanaugh. Dottie Montano, Bert Ostrowski, and Henry Heitmann joined the art staff, and they were so outstanding that afterwards they were called on by everyone whenever there was any artistic work to be done. I. Mc.-Donit you recall that Pat Norton. Janet Schoepflin, James Dougherty, Irene Grodovich, Pat Lumsden, and Betty-Jean Long joined the editorial staff of the Dial, while uGinny Kane, Ronnie Conroy, Louise Massare. and Marie Knapp became members of the business board? B. A. M.-Remember Torch Nite that year? Harry Viens headed the cast as captain of the U. S. S. Torch which docked that night with a boat load of talent I can still see Eddie 4'Chick', Parone in that barrel! Who else was there? f. Mc.-Bill Yorker was abroad, and as I recall it, Helen Marcuccio, Grace De Lorenzo, and Rhoda Luscomb did some fine vocalizing, while Kay McCann enter- tained everyone with her tap dancing. I never could figure out how Irene Bucior did her acrobatic dance. I used to get worn out just watching her doing those stunts. B. A. M.-Marshall Tulin made a name for himself by winning his first contest. I think it was the Connecticut Economic Council Essay Contest. If lim not mis' taken, wasn't one of the outstanding affairs of that year the Student Council semi- formal dance? Look over by the tableg aren't those the people that represented us on the Council that year? See, there's 4'Jinnv Anderson. Ed Parone. Connie Foster, John Blessis, Jean Clark, George Smith. and Mary Jane Pierce. f. Mc.-That was the year the basketball team didn't do too badly. Thev won a number of games, although I'd hesitate to say what number. Joe Puadzuinas, 'aHarp McGrath, and Bob Smith made themselves familiar figures on the court. B. A. M.-Mac, isn't that Mr. Costello talking to Estelle Schwartz. Jean Clark. Bob Custer, and Harry Viens? Weren't they the stars of the Senior Dramatic Club? 1. Mc.-Whatis that gold pin Patricia Lumsden's sporting? Oh, I know. it's an Honor Society pin. Weren't Mary Maillet, the Kennedy twins, Joe Durbas. Joe Uricchio, Marion Failla, Eileen Krips, Bessie Lake, Betty-Jean Long, Mildred Solo- mon, and Marie Vaillancourt among the first to be selected? B. A. M.-Don't forget Jim Dougherty, Marguerite Cullina, Pat Holloway, and Howie Horan. There were many more, but I canit recall their names this minute. You know, I was just remembering those air raid drills we used to have. I don't think many of us realized at first how important they were. Ah. but the best event of all was the long-awaited Junior Prom. I. Mc.-Walter Timothy Sullivan certainly did a good job of handling it. Let's see-weren't the committees headed by Eddie Parone fhe keeps creeping into thisl. Bill Beckwith, Bob Custer, and ah. .ah. .I canat seem to remember the last one's name, but I do recall that he was rather tall, slim, and had light brown hairgl think his initials were J. P. Mc.? 127 CLA55 Off '45 L- Y L.i ff g- ll B. A. M.-Couldn't have been important. You know in my opinion our senior year, except for the pall of sorrow which enveloped the school when our classmate Joseph Casey died, was the most interesting year of all. J. Mc.-That was when we had the rule of the roost. Mary Frago and Johnny Blessis, with Jean Foberg's aid, did an excellent job of producing the Boys, Club-Girls' League Dance. Well, for crying out loud! There are g'Sully,,, Harry, and Eddie over there. Will you ever forget the wonderful script for Torch Nile? The audience was in the aisles. Vic Polce added his two cents, worth, too. And thereis Dot Tessier. Remember when she sang White Christmas in Torch N ite? She went over big. Then, too, I'll never forget Jim Kline in the entre act. l'll bet he still has that dress. B. A. M.-That year the Senior Dramatic Club play was Fly Away Home. Let's see if we can pick out those who played their first parts in the club. There was Walter Sullivan, Pat Monteith, and Jean Bailey and-l guess that's all. Oh, and Mary Jane Pierce, Ruth Neiditch, Rosemarie Cersosimo, and Janet Schoepflin gave their time to help direct and handle the props. There are Bernie Cacase, Frannie Phelps, and Bob Reed over there. f. Mc.-Remember when they went into the armed forces then, along with Curt Kelly, Bill Pike, Joe Puadzuinas, Ed Flanigan, Howie Page, Frank Lampson, nlggyi' Sesta, and-whew, lim out of breath-yes, there were plenty more. Then there was the unveiling of the service flag in the auditorium. 694 Bulkeley grads and students in the services and more going in. That is patriotism! B. A. M.-We certainly missed Bill Beckwith, Mllaveyi' Sandler, Joe Asbel, Bill Crowley, Tom Austin, Sam Goldstein, and Johnny Formica the last part of our senior year. J. Mc.-That's right. They went to Trinity in January along with Vic Polce, Jim Kline, Forrest Kelsey, Howie Horan, Jim Dougherty, Bob Custer, and Frank Zimmerman. B. A. M.-Remember hearing about the Red Cross First Aid course for the Girls' Leaders Corps? Everyone was waiting for someone to fall down or faint so he could be practiced on. Then there was the Dial Dance and Floor Show. The committees handled it very efficiently-attractive decorations, a good band, and clever publicity. J. Mc.--Well, the job Carl Massaro did in providing the refreshments wasn't so bad. B. A. M.-Food! That's all you think about. J. Mc.-Vlfho didnit then? B. A. M.-Co-chairmen Tulin and Parone took care of that affair in fine style. 128 CLASSQQ is xz5.w..s-5. -.ir xr, . ,ramad -rg f Y' ' Y ' Remember the Victory Corps that started in Bulkeley that year?

Walter Sullivan's Trollies were being presented. Among the array of beautiful girls who appeared were Marion Calio, Pat Monteith, Grace DeLorenzo, Mary Skelley, and Joyce McCarthy. The famous dance team of Jo Wodecki and Regina Meegan was also on the same bill. Another feature was Al Pawlowski who sang his latest song hit, If I Were You lid Love Me. The feature picture was The Horse of the Seven Gables starring Bob Carlo as the horseg Chick Sposito played the part of Clark Gable, while the characterizations of his six brothers were ably portrayed by the Dead End Kids, Jim Derderian, Bob Eno, John Butler, Bill Crowley, Jimmy McHugo and Chuck Argenta. Virginia- Oh, I saw that picture, too, and I understand the McClures directed it and the McGraths produced it. Look, Joe, over thereg isn't that the famous Shakespearean actor, Harry Viens? He has certainly won fame portraying the role of the porter in Macbeth. And at the same table is Helen Marcuccio, the photographers' model, with the two debutantes, Irene Bucior and Mary Frago. Dr. Royce Stimpson, Creator of the miracle of medicine, Stimpsonis Slarchy Stomach Pills, is talking to them. Joe- Oh, yes, he attended medical school with Dr. James Dougherty, head of the DiAmato Domain for the Demented, who is just coming in the door. I understand Janet Schoepflin and Mildred Solomon have been voted the two most popular nurses at the institutiong and over there is George Smith, slugging first baseman of the Worldis Champion Phillies, talking to Howard and Marshall Tulin, co-inventors of the cheeseless mousetrap. They seem nervous about their forthcoming trip in the Intagliata-Kelsey wingless, motorless, wheelless airplane. All, however, are in- sured by John Formica and Co., who guarantees to pay off as soon as the coroner, Dr. Frank Zimmerman, verifies the deaths. Pat Norton, the famous novelist, plans to write a book about their heroic sacrifice to humanity, while Senator Samuel Gold- stein will personally dedicate their monuments. Virginia- Speaking of books, Joe, have you read Barbara Johnson's autobiography, I Married a Count or He Crowned Me Because He Loved Me? It's heading ' 130 Cz.A55JiQ,,fX ,Af xTss.x-x.'Ss. Y iii V ,L 1:-if-117 ' - the list of best sellers. One chapter tells of her experiences at Veronica Conroy's dude ranch. Barbara, or the Countess of Monte Crisco, had a close friend at school: you probably remember her. She was Mae Cavanaugh, who is the proprietor of Sleepy Inn, the little hotel in the New Hampshire resort town of Lazy River where I spent an enjoyable vacation. Every evening at ten a snack of crackers and milk was brought free of charge to the rooms of vacationists. I guess Mae profited by experience. Joe- Yes, Iive heard about her appetite and dreaminess. Oh, the other day I dis- covered the names of our class in Marion Failla's magazine Strife. I found that three hungry scientists, ,lack Treworthy, Dick Johnson, and Irving Wilson, are still looking for the Lost Horizon. Mary Jane Pierce is now planning a non-stop swim across the Pacific. Success is predicted by her managers, Nelson Wainman and Dominick Bartone, who will accompany her in a rowboat built especially for the occasion by Donald Shaw, engineer. Joe Durbas is teaching mathematics at the Bonelli and Lombardo Summer School. Among those taking the extension course are Mary Maillet, Helen Marchoki, and Jean Bailey. And did you know that Jeanne Reno has invented a lipstick tube that is always full? Virginia- That will certainly solve the major problem confronting women of today. I attended a bridge party last week, and several of our classmates were there. At the table near me sat that vivacious little brunette, Margaret Dickie. She's the head of a charm school now, and her best customers are Joe Faillace and Mervin Hagood. Her bridge partner was Jean Clarke, who is a gym instructor. She's teaching Danish gymnastics to the girls at the F. William Beckwith Technical High School, and is, therefore, building a flourishing business for James Jerome Kline, the town,s leading undertaker. foe- If I remember correctly, I used to hear Barbara Chaffee complain about those gymnastics when we attended Bulkeley. Speaking of Barbara, I was at a dance not long ago, and her orchestra, the Sizzling Swingsters, furnished the music. The orchestra, with the help of Barbarais agent, Ruth Neiditch, is reaching the top. Virginia- I guess those two girls are still close friends, arenit they? By the way, do you remember John Blessis? He is the president of the Blessis Beautifying Bureau, and I understand he manufactures a fluid that gives a really permanent wave. Joe- Just now when you mentioned the Beautifying Bureau, I thought of Marguerite 131 CLASS Oi as Xen-va. f g E' - ,Y ,Ti ,Y Cullina and ,lane Connelly. I understand they run the Saggy Shetland Sweater Shop. Virginia- Now all the girls can have those immense sweaters they always admired on the diminutive cousins. And, Joe, did you know that one of their friends, Virginia Lash, comprises one- half of the piano team of Flanigan-Lach? Although they are masters of the classics when playing at concerts, l've heard that they're good at boogie-woogie when theyire alone. We seemed to have a class of inseparables. Ellen Morhardt and Barbara Wilson are sharing honors even now, Barbara has been voted the Ideal American Girl by her fellow workers at the David D,Arche Machine Shop, while Ellen has been voted The Girl I Would Prefer Being Riveted To. loe- We really had an outstanding class, dicln't we?

However, fortune was not to favor Bulkeley this year, and more acci- dents and injuries befell our team than any high school team in the city has ever known. - The team carried on gallantly, nevertheless, beating West Hartford 13-7, and Manchester 7-6, after losing its opening game to Bristol 14-12. But the sad climax to our ill-fated team came on October 24, when Joe Casey was accidentally hit on the head and never regained consciousness, passing away the following Monday. Bulkeley had lost one of her best football players, but more than that she had lost a true sportsman, a gentleman, and a loyal friend. The backbone of the team was completely broken by this tragic accident, and the whole school mourned the death of Joseph Casey. However, the team, complying with the wishes of Caseyis parents, heroically voted to finish out the season against two formidable opponents, Weaver and New Britain. Although defeated by Weaver 32-0, and New Britain 14-0, the team gave a valiant account of itself, especially in the New Britain contest, a game in which B. H. S. took the field minus five or six players counted on to be regulars at the beginning of the season. Although it was a sad season for Bulkeley footballers, several members of our class, notably Captain Cacase, John Blessis, Joseph Farina, uChick'i Sposito, Bob Carlo, Bob Custer, 'gKokoi, Sinsigalli, 6'Haveyi' Sandler, and Forrest Kelsey, all gave worthy performances. The record for the year stands: Bulkeley .............. 12 Bristol ............... 14 Bulkeley -..-- ---- 1 3 West Hartford . . . . . . 7 Bulkeley ..... .... 7 Manchester . . . . . . . . 6 Bulkeley ..... .... 0 Hartford .... ..... 2 4 Bulkeley ..... .... 0 Weaver ....... ..... 3 2 Bulkeley ..... .... 0 New Britain .... ..... 1 4 Won 2-Lost 4- 139 THE BASEBALL TEAM QLASTS -gg flag xE.Hcf.g.

With this one victory to go on, the Bulkeley warriors should romp to a successful season. '6Bahe,' Allen has some fine players to choose from, but the team he will rely on for the remaining games will consist of Salvatore behind the mask, receiving for either Rand, Cilistro, or Fortin, all better than average pitchers.

The season opened with a 36-19 trouncing by a strong Meriden quintet. The first game with Weaver was next, ending with Bulkeley again on the short end of the score. Winding up this miserable start were four more defeats in quick succession, the boys losing to East Hartford, New Britain, Woodrow Wilson, and an up-and- coming Hartford High team. The Maroons finally found themselves and turned back a surprised New Britain team, 46-37. West Hartford fell next, 41,-24. It was a rapidly falling Weaver team that then bowed to the warriors from Morgan G., in a thrilling, close-scoring game. A high-stepping East Hartford quintet was the next victim. Journeying to Bul- keley with a little too much confidence, they soon learned to respect the Maroons, losing by a score of 34-33. West Hartford was the last foe to fall before our new- found team, bowing down 35-31. With two games remaining, however, it was Bulkeleyis turn again to taste defeat, this time at the hands of two of the most powerful teams in the state, Hartford and Meriden. The team itself, in spite of the record, was a well-balanced and aggressive outfit. All the players were specialists, and each one at one time or other stood out. Guthrie, Salvatore, Sposito, George Smith, and Selza all played a smooth and outstanding type of offensive ball. On the defence Bob Smith and McGrath were stand-outs. Others consistent in both departments and deserving of mention are Romano, Newton, Ucich, and Mularz. Bulkeley Meriden ....... Bulkeley Weaver ........ Bulkeley East Hartford. . .
