But now itls all over! Four years have raced by like a flash of lightning. Only one skipped along merrily, carefreeg the others lagged behind, burdened with the atrocities and sorrows of a war in which we, too, had become involved. Our time has come! We must leave the corridors of our dear school and go out into this chaotic world to discover whether or not we have lnastered the art of living. Some members of our class have already left school and have begun to live by taking an active part in the drama which will restore the joyful, peaceful days we once knew. For the rest of us, graduation will be the parting, but we can be united again and again through the medium of this Class Book. May its pages often revive pleasant memories of Bulkeley and renew the warmth of old acquaintances and lasting friendships. We would like to extend our sincere appreciation to the Faculty for their kindness and patience, and especially to Dr. Feingold for his friendly and wise counselg to Miss Potter, Miss Safford, and Mr. Mclfllney for their invaluable aid in the compilation of this bookg to Shirley Boyer, Eloise Marzano, and Roy Boutillier for the admirable art work done throughout this bookg and to Nicholas Uricchio for his splendid sports write-ups. We are also grateful to the typists-Josephine Capobianco, Virginia Myers, Helen Panaretos, and Efterpe Zafranis-e-for flair efficient and cheerful cooperation. BERNICE R.

A. with genuine gratitude tor his prudent guidance and genial interest in us all. DR. GUSTAVE A. PEINGOLD, PHD Our Principal OUR PRI NCI PAL'S MESSAGE At long last we are marching steadfastly up the road which leads to the rescue of the citadel of civilization. For five long years that citadel has been threatened with utter destruction by political gangsters who through lies, threats, murder, and assassination, seized control over their peoples and hurled them against the democratic nations of the world. These false leaders boasted that if they won, they would build a world to suit their own taste. If they lost, they would slam the door on civilization so tight that it would take a thousand years to pry it open. They are losing the war. Of that neither they nor we have any doubt. So now they are endeavoring to shut the door forever on manis precious heritage. They began to do this even when they were at the height of their merciless campaign of devastation in Poland, in Russia, in Yugoslavia, and in Greece. Through the mass murder of men, women, and children. they were already destroying those cardinal principles of religion and ethics, of justice and mercy, of decency and sanctity for human life, which are the very keystones of our civilization. This utter disregard for human rights and the fundamental laws of mankind is all the more grievous because it comes at the end of centuries of education. There were similar brutalities in ancient times, but never on such a large scale. Then, too, the victims had a better chance to escape their tormentors in those days. Nations were separated by great distances and provincial cultures and, therefore, had more reason to be suspicious and mistrustful of one another. The present calamity, however, was launched against the freedom-loving people of the world five hundred years after printing was discovered. It came when communication and travel were at their height. It came centuries after the amalgamating influences of the arts and sciences, of religion and learning, had supposedly united the peoples of the western world in friendship and understanding, if not in brotherhood. This state of human existence bore many hopeful signs of still greater advancement prior to 1933. From that year to the present, the world has been kept in a state of uneasiness and chaos because of the vaulting ambitions and savage cruelties of a small number of individ- uals whose genius for destruction lies in their diabolical contempt for truth, religion, and human life. But the task of rescuing the citadel of civilization is nearer to completion now than it was at any time in the past five years. This task calls for the reconstruction of human values no less than for the destruction of the enemies of democracy. Because of the peculiar character of modern warfare, youth is called upon to bear the brunt of battle. But also because of the sacred mission of this war, educated youth has the special responsibility of preserving the ideals for which he is fighting. even while engaged in battle. In this respect, the youth of the democratic nations are participating in as holy a crusade as was ever launched in the history of mankind. It is expected that this year will bring victory to the armies of the United Nations. In the fulfillment of this hope, the class of 1944 has been designated as the Victory Class. As such, I hail you, and as such I wish you God's speed and a safe return to the blessings of peace. GUSTA VE A.

As Chairman, it is my privilege and honor to welcome you, in behalf of the Class of 1944, to our Class Night exercises. This is the next to the last social function we shall take part in as a class. We have chosen representatives to show you the lighter side of our four years at Bulkeley. Throughout these four years there have been, along with our studies, many joyous social events, thrilling athletic contests, and enjoyable club meetings. We have formed friendships that will, in many cases, last the remainder of our lives. We shall also carry out into the world many rich memories. Tonight we wish to express our appreciation to our parents for affording us the privilege of extending our scope of knowledge, we wish to thank Dr. Feingold for his helpful guidance during these four years, and we wish to thank the members of the faculty for their perseverance in aiding us to attain this knowledge. Now, in the midst of world conflict, we may be somewhat indifferent to what these years have done for us, but the full meaning of our education we shall appreciate thoroughly at the completion of this global strife. Once again let me welcome you to the Class Night exercises of 1944. C. ERIC LINDQUIST 128 -. Q - Boorh CLASS ORATION up Q .gs Paul Robeson - A Great American FF, Q P ODAY when the subject of great Americans is brought up people bfifjj think of war heroes such as George Washington and Colin Kelly. I, , W This is only natural, for there is a war going on at present. There fi1'7?4y'fJ,,,' are, however, other great Americans besides presidents and soldiers. aff. An example of one of these other great men is Paul Robeson, a Negro of great talent, who, despite prejudices, has risen to a position of great prominence in the world today. The youngest of eight children, he was born in Princeton, New Jersey, in 1898. His father, William Robeson, was a slave who had escaped to the North, worked his way through Lincoln University, and become a Methodist minister. Paulis mother, a school teacher, died when Paul was only six years of age. In spite of the fact that he was a busy man, the Reverend Robeson found time to teach his son the value and satisfaction of perfection. Once when Paul brought home a report card with seven A's and one B his father asked, Son, what's the B doing there?,' From that time, Nothing less than perfectionn became Paul's motto. Throughout his high school years he attained averages of ninety-seven and ninety-eight. His Negro friends pointed him out as one of their owng his white friends pointed him out as their friend. In his junior year at Rutgers, Robeson won a scholarship and was also elected to Phi Beta Kappa. His logical brain, convincing language, and endearing personality made him Rutger's star debater. He was graduated as the perfect type of college man. Paul Robeson, a natural athlete, earned twelve letters at Rutgers, being called by many sports writers Robeson of Rutgersi' because of his outstanding achievements on the athletic fields. From Rutgers Paul went to Columbia Law School, where he was considered one of their most brilliant men. While there, he took part in a Y. M. C. A. play. One of the spectators was Eugene 0'Neill, the great playwright. After the play was over, 0'Neill went backstage and insisted that Robeson act in 6'Emperor Jonesf, Robeson laughed at the idea then, but later he was persuaded to try the part. To his astonishment, he found himself taking curtain bows to a wildly applauding audience. He abandoned all thought of a law career, and went on to other stage triumphs, Porgy, Black Boy, and All Cod's Chillun. His phenomenal success was due largely to the marvelous quality of his speaking voice. Possessing a beautiful voice, he had never considered the concert stage until he was induced to give a recital of 124 in I Y 8 A Y 5 x 1 D 5 'Q X ' ki 1 ' doo-ri Negro spirituals in New York. His resonant baritone held the audience spellbound and for his next concert the house was completely sold out. Later he toured Europe, living there for several years. In the spring of 1930, Robeson appeared in London in a reproduction of Shakespeare! Othello and created a sensation as the Moor, being the first Negro to act in the role in over forty years. Othello is now being presented at the Shubert Theatre in New York with Robeson in the title role. The play has just broken all Shakespearian records for long runs with its 158th performance. His sensational performance in Othello has proved that the Negro can act the same parts as the white man and do just as well, if not better. When he was finally allowed to act the part in the United States, another barrier was overcome, that of the so-called inferiority of the Negro which prevented him from acting in the same plays with whites. His privilege of acting in Othello paves the way for other Negroes to overcome jim-crowism and gain an equal social standing with the whites in the future. After a recent performance of Othello. many white people were backstage complimenting Robeson on his masterful performance when a white naval officer strode in, saying, Mn Robeson, you and I have the same family name. Your ancestors were personal attendants to some of mine. I guess we have something in common after allf, Everybody in the room was embarrassed except Paul Robeson, who rose and said, Sir, you are grossly mistaken. My people did not work for your people. Work implies compensation for services. My people never received pay or wages. My people built those plantations. My people are today fighting and trying to defend them. But never were my people paid for their labor. My people, sir, were your slaves and they have done honor to the name that is theirs. The visitors were hushed. Finally a white woman said, NI came backstage to pay my respects to Paul Robeson. the actor. I have witnessed a performance of Paul Robeson, the man. Mr. Robeson, as Othello you are magnificent, but as a man you are a Titanf' It is this type of spirit that has enabled Paul Robeson to become the star he is. RUTHERFORD BURGESS 125 CLASS ESSAY ' fiyf ' E are now all-powerful, all-mighty, and all-important high school L, 4 I seniors! Yes, we are the leaders of the school, the officers of the clubs, the captains of the teams. We are the upper part of the upper class. We feel quite indispensable to the school, to the community, and even to the world. This is not an unnatural emotion. Rather JN . S ,VM it is a ea thy and normal sign of maturity. However, it is untrue. Actually, we are just the neighbors' kids grown up--the freckled-faced boy whose baseball found its way through hostile panes of glass on the average of once a week, or the carrot-topped girl who howled when her brilliant pigtails were yanked. Actually, we are just nobodies ! The big question in every high school senior's mind is, What is in store for me? What shall I be a few years from now?,' The deep prayer in every nobody's heart is, May I become a somebody. May I achieve success not so many years from nowf' Whatever the goals, ambitions, and hopes, the interrogation is the same. Whether it's Mary longing for a handsome husband or Johnny asking for the pilot's seat in a Flying Fortress, the prayer is the same. But will the prayer be answered? What are our chances of becoming somebodies? Continuously, through radio, newspapers, motion pictures, and books, the endless benefits of our American democracy are enumerated and expounded to the American public. Indeed, among the most important is the opportunity offered to young people like ourselves. To me there seems no more welcome nor democratic gift than a fair chance to make a somebody of myself. People of our age in the Axis-dominated nations of Europe are no different from us. They have the same desires for the future. They ask the same questions. They utter the same prayers. However, their childhood dreams and ambitions can never come true, because they won't be allowed a fair chance. They'll be forced to fight, work, and die for corrupt principles which have been crammed into their once peaceful and tolerant souls. How fortunate we are to have the right to decide our futures for ourselves! We can take any road in life. Each will have different speed limits, curves, and detours, each a different destination. We have no ruthless, mortal god to determine our fate without sense or mercy. Instead, we have ahead of us a fresh world full of suspense and surprises. We have the privilege of remaining insignificant 126 GHS and complacent nobodies. We also have the privilege of entering our talents in the keen competition of life, where persistence and intelligence may raise us to the ranks of the somebodies. Why do we, to the exclusion of so many other young people, have this fair chance? It is because we are seniors in an American high school and citizens in an American community. This fair chance was won for us at Valley Forge, Gettysburg, the Marne, and Guadalcanal. For this fair chance some of us in this very gathering will soon fight and die. It is our heritage and our greatest privilege. At this time, especially, we should humbly thank God for this fair chance, this right actually to reap what we sow, this democratic opportunity for us, the Hnobodiesf, to become somebodiesl DOROTHY C. CARUSO 127 1 00 -r'l CLASS POEM Hitch your wagon to a starf' one said, 6'Your wagon to a star. Others had heard and scoffed at this, Trusting in nothing afar. But three young people believed these words And sought to do that deed, To raise their eyes to the heavens above, To find where the meteors lead. To see the birds and the sun and the sky, The clouds on a windswept day, The stars and the moon, the jewels of the night, And the rainbow spanning the way. And each of their stars was a different star, Each of a different light, Of varying altitude and size, But, to each one, equally bright. The star of the first was a steady star, Gleaming from dark to dawn, And from dawn to dark with a steady glow Still shining when all else was gone. The star of the next was a rising star That began as a spark and grew And burst into flame, ever shining more bright, Lighting heaven and earth with its hue. And the star of the last was a shooting star, A star of midnight and noon, Dizzily whirling, careening and hurling Its rider beyond-past the moon. And these three stars were successful stars Of steadiness, glory, and fame. None envied the other, each thought his the best, And each gained the height of his aim. And none was the best- for each one achieved That which he thought most high, And each found that star which he'd seen long before, Each followed the words which said, Try Ever to keep our lofty ideals: Let us be those who aim high, And never take the easier goal- Let the star-seekers be you and I.

I bet you don't remember who the biggest flirt of our class was? Ray-You mean Everett Berlani, don't you? Helen-Yes, that's the one. l'le's manager of the new Beauty Salon on Main Street. l had my hair done there the other day and whom should l find working there as beauticians but Salle Brown, Jeanne Pickett, and Fred Preneta. I also bumped into Madeline Whitehead, who was having a terrible time setting up her new invention, The Super-Waist Reducing Machinef, lA paper boy comes by and Ray buys the evening paper.J Ray-There's an article here on Captain David Crosier, who is opening a new air line from New York to Brazil. Heis engaged pilots Bill Kane, John Luniewsky, Tom Carlson, and George Zajicek to fly this new route. Helen-And look at this article here, Doctor Lennox Lumsden, ,lr,, sailed from New York today with a new expedition of twenty men. His aim is to find the Lost Horizon, which he believes is in the southern-most part of Alaska. Among 130 f - S i Q g .L I V M 'XT 1 ' V s. 1 his party are the well-known adventurers, Joseph Nelson, Frank Rzepnicki, Joseph Casparino, and Earle Crocker. The world-famous chef, Frank Scelza, will accompany the group as chief cook and bottle washerf' Ray-I believe this is the third expedition he's made. Say, isn't this the picture of the Mary Melley we went to school with? Helen-Why, yes, that's she. Ray-She just finished making her third picture for Paramount. The name of it is The Road To No-Wheref' written by June Douglass. Thereis also a picture of Alice Welch here. She's down in Miami modeling bathing suits for those three debutantes, Lenore O'Hara, Dot O7Connell, and Anne McNulty, who are arranging for a new debut since their first one was such a great success. Helen-Well, look at this: the Sports Page is full of former Bulkeleyites. Johnny Pracon just took the Golf crown away from Ray Winters. Doris Winalski, the Connecticut State Diving Champion, is entering the All-State Contest which is being sponsored by the Lindquist Cold Cream Manufacturing Co., while Ruth Doeppensmith easily came in first in the Womenis Back Stroke finals at Lorraine Kelleyis private swimming pools. Ray-Thereis an ad back here from the Burrows, Sykura, Hartwick Pickle Factory. It seems they need a large group of expert picklers. Helen-Gee, it sure is funny the way things change in ten years. Why, Walter Naperata has opened a Night Club down in Florida. Hay-Yes, I've heard about it. He has hired Skip DiScipio as vocalist with Nick Uricchio and his Rhythm Jivesters. They also feature Jean Rackle and Bob Fields, famous dancing partners. Helen-I received a letter from Congress-woman Bernice Mazurek today, telling me of the ten-day filibuster that Senator Edward Trant carried on in the Senate. Apparently he still likes to talk. Bernice is going to New York this week-end to see Joan Hollerieth's new play which stars Dorothy Caruso and James Pansullo. Ray-Speaking of New York, I heard that Mary Eganas new magazine, The Creative World, has made quite a hit with its readers. She's engaged to some multi-millionaire now, and from what the papers say expects to be married in the fall. Helen-Say, isn't that Elaine Lowry sitting up there in the front? She's done quite well for herself. From what live heard, sheis now chief laboratory technician at the Maurice Foley Riverview Labs in Upper New York State. Ray-Our class certainly went in for science. Edward Coburn, Jr., has taken 131 over the Connecticut Research Association, while Dr. Leonard fPeppcrj Begg has opened a new Psychopathic Ward in the Hartford Retreat. He's engaged Doris Beattie and Betty Weake to help him develop a master mind. Helen-If Leonard is still the same, I wouldn't be a bit surprised if he fulfilled his desire. I'm headed out to California now to see ,lane Hartenstein, who is going over to France in a week or two as foreign correspondent for the California Gazette. She and I are going shopping at Virginia Page,s Fashion House, which deals in making clothes exclusively for the actresses. They are now featuring Eloise lVlarzano's latest creation, Bountie Booties. Ray-Gee, it sure is fun discussing old times. Let me think now. Is there anyone else that's doing anything special? Oh, yes, Bill Shea's Vitamin Pill Co. is now sponsoring Ted Deabler's 4'News of the Week program which was judged the best news program on the air today. Helen-That's swell. By the way, I neglected to tell you that we have a new librarian at the Hartford Public Library. Eleanor Andrews has taken over the chief librarian's position. Also I heard recently that Jean Condon has made a great success of her life as a social worker. She loves her job, which always helps a lot in making a person happy. Ray-While visiting my old grammar school last week, I bumped into Laura Zieminski teaching arithmetic to a group of first graders. She was having a grand time trying to teach Arnold Linder, Ir., that one and one are two. He kept insisting that his father knew better. Helen-By the way, where are you headed for? Ray-I'm going out to Chicago to see if Bob Stevens, the famous engineer, will consider taking on the construction of the new Holland Tunnel. The last time I saw him he seemed to think it was a good idea. Helen-Yes, it would be nice if someone from Bulkeley did something as great as that. Iive heard quite a lot about Bob's fine work from Mary Lou Killoran, his private secretary. Well, this is where I change trains. I have to stop in and see Halina Traczyk, who is now a feature dancer at Cheech,' Bittner's Casino, before two o'clock. So Iill have to hurry along. Ray-It was very nice seeing you again and talking over old times. I hope we bump into each other again some day soon. Helen-So do I. Well, good-bye now. Ray-Good-bye. HELEN ASZKLAR RAYMOND BANNON 182 CLASS H I STORY E. L. L. fStands up, walks across stage to window side.J E. I. T. fStands up, meets E. L. L., and speaksj Well, if it isn't Elaine Lowry! E. L. L. fTurns around but fails to recognize EJ. TJ E. J. T.-Don't tell me you've forgotten so soon! But, let me see, it's been ten years, hasnit it? E. L. L.-Why, of course, I remember now. You're Edward Trant. Remember we wrote the class history together? Do you ever see any of the old crowd? E. f. T.-Not very often. But I was looking through our Class Book the other night, and it was fun reading our-ahem-masterpiece and recalling the names of our classmates. What a job we had writing it, though! First we had to find out everything of any importance that happened during the Freshman year. Not much of any interest there! E.L.L.-Wait a minute-just because you weren't there my Freshman year, doesn't mean that nothing happened before you came. E. f. T.-All right, all right. But we made plenty of improvements just the same. E. L. L.-Why, I can remember how the Girls' League and the Boys' Club gave us our first taste of Bulkeley night life with their annual sport dance. How we tried to scintillate at our social debut! I wonder if the upperclass girls felt the same way about our trying to sink our hooks into their Mmenn as we did about the Freshman girls when we were gay old Seniors? E. J. T.-Oh, probably not. There wasn't any man-shortage then. E. L. L.-I'll never forget the fun we had joining the very few clubs open to us. How proud we felt when Arnold Linder and Ken Golden got patrts in the Junior Dramatic Club play, '4Elmer, the Youngestnl I guess Jimmy Guthrie was the only Freshman to go out for sports. E. J. T.-When the Burr 'akidsn descended on dear old Bulkeley, the ball really began rolling. E. L. L.-Well, maybe so. Remember the fine performance our Sophomore thespians, Everett Berlani and Adelaide Robertson, gave whe11 they co-starred in When We Were Youngw? . . . Ah, yes, when we were young! E. 1. T.-Now, don't start getting sentimental. You're good for at least a few more years. But back to the play . . . Angela Bonadies, Lenore O'Hara, and 133 Dorothy Caruso certainly played their parts well, too. Now that I look back, it seems that quite a few people received their start that year. For instance, Ruth Doeppensmith, Halina Tracyzk, and Dottie Gibson gave their first performance for a Bulkeley audience at Torch Nite. E. L. L.-Then came the day when we were juniors. Upperclassmen! Who can describe that feeling? Many of our classmates had already made a niche for themselves in school activities. Corinne Joseph and Eloise Marzano had received offices in the Girls, League, while our actors and actresses graduated to playing roles for the Senior Dramatic Club. E.f. T.-Yes, that's right. Everett Berlani and Adelaide Robertson played in Fly Away Home. l think weill never forget Jim Pansullo's WML Hydew in One Mad Night. E.L.L.-The Bulkeley stage received other talent than that of the thespian variety, however. Judith Bulgini and June Jaserie both took part in Torch Nite that year. E. I. T.-Our class boasted its share of the intelligentsia, too. When the Honor Society elections rolled around, quite a number of our classmates were chosen. Of course, everyone expected Dot Caruso to be picked, especially since she had received the highest scholarship award every year. E. L. L.-Doris Cross, Bernice Mazurek, Marjorie Vosgian, and Anna Di Salvo were elected, too. lt's hard to remember all the names. Oh yes, Ruth Doeppensmith, ,lean Condon, Corinne Joseph, Efterpe Zafranis, and Elaine Procaccino were also elected. E.I.T.-What about Irene Thomas, Shirley Winalski, Alba Prisco, Eleanor O'Brien, and Laura Zieminski? E. L. L.--They couldnit have all been girls, though. Who held up the male end of the line? E. J. T.-Oh, Leonard Begg, Ted Deabler, Bob Seraphin, and Ken Colden. Ken also won the Harvard Book prize and left for Trinity at the end of his Junior year. However, some of the others were ,lunior Ushers. Among those chosen were Ray Bannon, Francis Lynch, Rudy Burgess, Walter Naperata, Joe Nelson, and Paul Listro. E. L. L.-We mustn't forget our Junior Prom. Elvio DiScipio was chairman of that long-awaited event-and what an occasion it was! Even the gas,' ban couldn't dampen our spirits. EJ. T.--Your mention of the 'Lgas ban brings back to my mind our victory Corps. We had quite an assembly featuring the results of the Corps, efforts. Louise ' 134 1 Kettledon, James Wiest, and Joseph Banning received citations for their work in the Corps. E. L. L.-It seems that we ended our first session as upperclassmen rather successfully. Bob Stevens was elected President of the Boys' Club, Helen Aszklar waselected President of the Girls, Leaders Corps. Corinne Joseph moved up to the presidency of the Girls' League, while Angela Bonadies and Alice Welch were chosen Co-Business Managers of the Torch. E. J. T.-The Dial Editorial Board was topped by its Co-Editors, Doris Cross and Bernice Mazurek. E. L. L.-Thcn after three years of careful seasoning, we became Seniors. That's when our talents really blossomed in their fullest glory-socially and scholastically. But I suppose the school managed to exist during our heyday. One thing that we can be proud of, though, was our record in the War Bond Campaign. Shirley Mason, Virginia Myers, and Edith Roberts were a few of the girls who helped Miss Kienle in making the drive a success. E. J. T.-Yes, and we went 'cover the top socially. Remember Torch Nite and Dial Nite, both bang-up successes? Mary Egan was general chairman of Torch Nite, wasnit she? E. L. L.-Thatis right. By the way, who wrote the skit that year? E. J. T.-Well, four senior boys collaborated in writing it , . . Edward Coburn, David Crosier, Ted Deabler. and Leonard Begg. Will you ever forget the entr'acte by the Torch Editors? E. L. L.-You know that's very embarrassingg so keep to the subject. Names like Cuddles, Muddles, and Bubbles keep floating around in my head, but- 15.1. T.-Youire on the right track. Lola Stoddard, Sue Brown, and Alice Welch performed for us that year. Remember Angela Bonadies' descent from heaven to play her part as an angel? E. L. L.-Oh, sure! Then came Dial Nite, too. Stairway to the Stars - remember? That was the theme of Dial Nite, and Doris Cross' decorations carried it out beautifully--the good old gym fairly sparkled with star-dust. Jane Hartenstein and Bill Kane were Co-Chairmen, while a few of the committee heads were Eleanor Andrews, Ruth Doeppensmith, and Shirley Winalski. Barbara Slater, Bill Shea, and Marie Knodel were some of the performers. EJ.T.+Performers---that brings to mind the Senior Dramatic Club plays. Arnold Linder was the president of the club that year, while other members who helped to make the play a success were Barbara Stone. Peggy Tucker, Joan Holle- 135 if reith, and Lenore O'Hara. But with all this talk about social gatherings, aren't we forgetting sports? E. L.L.-Well, don't look at me. I didn't get any farther than the gym class. Seriously, though, we did have some outstanding players. There were-ah-um-ah- E. J. T.-What a memory! Our football team started the season with three letter-men, Scelza and DiScipio, who were Co-Captains, and Arnold Linder. Pracon, Lawrence, and Lumsden received their letters, too. Scelza and Pracon, along with Rudy Burgess, did some fine work on the basketball team. Some of the best players in the state were given a scare when we won the city and district titles. E. L. L.-Didn't any Seniors go out for track? E. I. T.-Oh, sure-Bob O'Leary, Elliott Baron, and Nick Turnmillo. E.L.L.-Well, getting away from bats and baskets, there was quite a clever formal held that winter-the Snow Frolic-remember? The Girls, Leaders Corps and the Student Council co-sponsored it. The nicest part of the whole affair was that we had our only real snow the week-end of the dance. Quite an appropriate setting! Helen Aszklar and Bob Stevens were the Co-Chairmen, while Jean Grady, ,lane Oliver, Lorraine Kelley, and Shirley Boyer took charge of the committees. E. I. T.-But, say, arenit we forgetting all the boys that left for the service during our Junior and Senior years? Stanley Mackay, John Rafferty, John Dowd, Joseph Ficaro, Philip Blake, Francis Lynch, Ted Deabler, and Gennaro Russo entered some branch of the army. E. L. L.-Well, live always been pretty fond of the navy. Our fleet added Donald Sullivan, Walter Popielarczyk, Robert Lloyd, John Costello, Paul Floridia, Anthony Di Gregorio, Burton Fairfield, George Watson, Copcetto Tarascio, Edward McCarthy, Robert Page, and Rose DeMay to its ranks. EJ. T.-We mustnit forget that Rudolph Sanstrom, William Frederick, Patsy Ferrante, George Smith, William Myshrall, Robert Groves, Thomas Lawler, Robert Seraphim. Albert Patterson, and David Crosier also entered the navy. E. L. L.-That's right. The navy reminds me of the merchant marine. Thomas Canfield and Paul Belden entered that branch of the service. EJ. T.-James Guthrie, Joseph Banning, and William Newton were fighting marines during the Great War. ' E. L. L.-Well, I guess the class of '44 certainly did its part for victory. E. I. T.--That's one record weill always be proud of. Good-bye, Elaine. E. L. L.-Good-bye, Edward.

Y 11. L , if I THE FOOTBALL T 1 BOOT I 1 K 1 ' 's 'is -L s .. ' f FOOTBALL The Maroon and White eleven commenced their 1943 gridiron campaign with two stunning wins over Bristol and West Hartford. respectively. Because of a weak pass defense and the inability of the boys to play together, they gained hut one more win throughout the season, that at the expense of a weak Woodrow Wilson team. The Allenmen still managed to claim the season with a five hundred record, which was pretty good, considering that they lost to two of the top teams of the state, Weaver and Hartford. The initial game of the season was played in Bristol. There the Bulkeley hoys displayed speed and shiftiness in Frank Scelza, and also hard running and spot passing by Angelo Salvatore and Bud,' Schwerdtfeger. Alvio Di Scipio played a lwrilliant defensive game and also crossed the goal line once on an intercepted pass. The Southenders drubhed Bristol to the tune of 28-0. The following week West Hartford invaded Muncie Field and also received a thorough going over. The B. H. S. squad drilled hard for this game, because previously Hall had won two games and was hy no means a pushover. ln the encounter. Richie Sieklucki, Pat Ferrante, and Alvio DiScipio opened holes in the smaller Hall High line to allow Salvatore. Scelza, and Schwerdtfeger to dive through. Bulkeley emerged the victor in this game hy a 113-0 score. The following Friday the Maroons journeyed to Manchester to meet an opposing team which proved to hc far stronger than it was cracked up to he. Manchester had a hard-charging line which smeared the Bulkeley hall-carriers for many losses. Because of the wet field, fast-starting Scelza just couldn't dig in for a start, and everytime he got rolling he slipped to the ground. By alert hallplaying, Dick De Paolis seized a hlocked kick and raced for a touchdown. Bulkeley converted the point and the game ended i-n a 7-7 deadlock. The next week-end Bulkeley engaged Hartford High in the first of the city tilts. The game ran along smoothly until Johnny Newell sent reserve Jimmy Griffin into the skirmish. Griffin romped around the ends with three-man interference and just couldn't be stopped. The Owls crossed the goal twice and converted one point. The Allenmen threatened all afternoon, hut always fell short when it came time to cash in. The Newellmen won this one, 13-0. October 30, B. H. S. played host to Woodrow Wilson of Middletown, and gave them a good going over. Scelza, who was aided by some good downfield blocking by John Pracon, Al Boudreau, Joe Mularz, and Alvio Di Scipio, ran Wild all afternoon. Bulkeley won this contest 20-0. The Maroonis next clash took place on Armistice Day. By game time the field was drenched, and it was doubtful whether the teams would play or not. It was a hard-fought batttle, with both teams having to kick after two downs. With a few minutes remaining to play, NBuddy', Ahl of Weaver got off a sixty-yard kick to the Maroon's three-yard line. Instead of kicking out of danger, the Southenders elected to run the hall out of danger. The slippery pigskin was fumbled and a Weaver man pounced on it to score the only tally of the game. Weaver failed to convert the point, and the final score was 6-0. 145 The last game of the season was the annual Turkey Day classic played at New Britain. The Southenders journeyed to the Hardware City with high hopes of gaining a win, but were met with stronger opposition than they bargained for. Despite New Britainis record, which could not compare with other years, they still had a great ball club and edged out Bulkeley 6-0. So ended one of Bulkeley's fairer seasons as far as the won and lost column was concerned, with three wins, three losses and one tie, hut it will be remembered even more for the fine sportsmanship the boys showed. Most of the following are planning to enter the Armed Service as soon as they receive their diplomas: Frank Scelza, Angelo Salvatore, Pat Ferrante, Richard Sieklucki, John Pracon, Al Boudreau, Arnold Linder, Michael Russo, Gennaro Russo, john Lawrence, and Paul Listro.

BASKETBALL The year's basketball team was one of the best that ever represented Bulkeley High, winning eight of its thirteen games and gaining both the city and the district titles. Four lettermen returned to augment this year's squad, which was made up of the following hoopsters: Angelo Salvatore, Frank Scelza, Richard Romano, Steve UtgclI,lfoePMularz, 4'Bunky Ramsey, Rudy Burgess, Roy Anderson, Bill Newton, an o n raeon. ln the first game of the season B. H. S. was beaten by Woodrow Wilson of Middletown. The final score was 3l-20. This defeat by no means discouraged the Maroon combine. as was shown in the next game when they trounced a fairly good Weaver team, 36-22. Richard Romano led the scorers with eleven points, while John Pracon played an outstanding defensive as well as offensive game. Bulkeley then traveled to Meriden to encounter the third-ranking team in the state. It was one of the best games the Maroon played all year, but as always, they lacked that last hoop, and Meriden, by virtue of foul shots, emerged victorious, 29-26. The Southenders then went on to gain successive wins over Hall High, Hartford High, and East Hartford High. The win over the Owls gave the Allenmen their second city triumph, which the other two victories moved them closer to district honors. The Maroon and White then played host to a powerful New Britain array. This contest was very exciting, as both teams played spectacular ball, but in the end the New Britain boys swung the verdict their way. The score was 28-25. Having the best record in the district, Bulkeley was invited to play Torrington for the lnfantile Paralysis Fund at the Hartford High gym. ' B. H. S. put up a gallant stand for the first three quarters, but in the final stanza, Torrington, the top team in the state, pulled away from the starting post and gained a hard-earned 44-311- victory. Mularz and Scelza stole the scoring honors for Bulkeley with ll. and 7 points, respectively. From there on the Allenmen dropped but two more games, one to N. B. H. S., 36-34. and the other to the Newellmen, 38-33. The game with Hartford High was neck and neck, and when the final whistle blew the score was 33-33. The game was forced into overtime. Joe Powers of the Owls threw a one-hander from half the court and sunk it. Then Williams followed up with another hoop and a foul shot to give H. P. H. S. a 38-33 win. Bulkeley ended an already glorious season with a win over Meriden, 37-35. Salvatore was high man with 13 points. uBabe Allen entered the ball club in the tournament at New Haven. The Maroon and Wvhite quintet met New Haven Commercial in the opening game of the tournament, but went down to defeat S37-30. Bulkeley's chances were hampered when Joe Mularz, an outstanding performer during the current season, was removed from the game with a bad heel after only a few minutes of playing time had elapsed. The following boys who helped make this spectacular season possible will soon be playing for a bigger team with a greater necessity to win: Rudy Burgess, Bill Newton, John Pracon, Angelo Salvatore, and Frank Scelza. Next year, Joe Mularz, 'gBunky,' Ramsey, Roy Anderson, Richie Romano, and Steve Ucich will be back again to work with Babe Allen in an attempt to equal the glorious achievements of this past season. 147 THE BASEBALL TEAM 6 -X ori BASKETBALL Scoarzs Bulkeley. . . . . .20 Woodrow Wilson. . . . . .31 Bullieley. . . . . .36 Wczaver ........ . .. . .22 Bulkeley. . . . . .26 Meriden .... . . . . .29 Bulkeley. .. ...35 Hall High ...... . . . . .18 Bulkeley. .. . . .fltlt Hartford High . . . . . . .23 Bulkeley. .. . . .36 East Hartford. . . . . . . .31 Bulkeley. .. ...25 New Britain . . . . . . . .23 Bulkeley. . . . . .3-L rllorrington . . . . . .44- fExhibitionl Bulkeley. . . . . .29 Wfzaver' .... . . . . .22 Bulkeley. . . . .314 New Britain. . . . . . .36 Bulkeley. .. ...31 Hall High ...... . .. . .19 Bulkeley. .. ...33 Hartford High ... . . . .38 Bulkeley. .. ...38 East Hartford .... ... . .36 Bulkeley. . . . . .35 Meriden ........ . . . . .32 Bullieley. . . . . .30 New Haven COII1IHCI'Cl3l.37 tTournamentJ 4. . .5- BASEBALL Although pre-season anticipation did not point toward a very successful campaign, the lVlaroon diamond forees got off to a very good start by edging out East Hartford, 8-7. The Allenmen eame from behind in the last inning to give John Praeon a hard- earned virtory. Rudy Burgess led the attack with three singles and a home run. B. H. S. then played host to Hall High at Goodwin Park. Praeon gained his sec- ond eonseeutive win, but Earl liudlam eame in in the seventh inning to finish the game. The final score was 6--le. ln the next eontest, sophomore Earl Ludlam twirled a fine seven-hit game against Vlfeaver to give Bulkeley its third Will in as many starts. the seore being 8- I. Randazzo. Haydaz, and Sehwerdtfeger led the team at the plate. the latter hitting a home-run. Next eame Hartford High. whit-h inflieted the first loss of the season on Bulkeley. Praeon started on the mound. but was replaced in the second inning by Ludlum. who in turu gave way to outfielder Rudy Burgess, who finished the game. Burgess col- lerted his seeond homer in the 13-3 defeat. The Southenders played their first game at New Britain. and were beaten 6-3. After being downed by Hartford and New Britain, the Allenmen set the ball roll- ing again by trouneing East Hartford for the Second straight time, 17-ll.. It was a loosely-played game with both teams playing wild ball. Outfielder 4'Bud,l Schwerclt- feger. who was the third Bullieley pitcher to come into the game, got credit for the win. The infield combination of Ueieh, Haydaz. Ramsey, and Lumsden came through with some fine fielding as well as timely hitting. The outfield, which possessed most of the power, eonsisted of Sehwerdtfeger in left. Burgess in r-enter. and Randazzo iu right. Angelo Salvatore. is ho did most of the ealehing, was about the best receiver in the eity. john Praeon and Earl Ludlam held up the pitching staff Very well.
