MCCRANN, M.A. 2 OUR PRINCIPAL'S MESSAGE The time has arrived to say farewells. At last the Class of 1949 of Bulkeley High School has arrived at that point, the crossroads, where mem- bers will go their various ways. Some will enter the business marts, others will continue their education, many will enter skilled occupations. In retro- spect, the time that you have been together seems short. As you journey through life you will find that, in truth, the years do fly quickly. The Class of 1949 is my first graduating class as Principal of Bulkeley High. For this reason alone I regard you with special pride and significance. But I have additional reasons to recall you with happy memory. I have found you most cooperative and I have, as the year progressed, discovered excellent class and school spirit which did much to lighten my first year at Bulkeley and make it an enjoyable experience for me. For this I am grateful to every rnemberg the Class of 1949 will be a landmark for me in the years to come. Therefore, with understandable pride and genuine regret I bid you farewell. May God's blessings be with you as you journey your separate ways through the life which you are about to enter, and may good health and happiness be among your most treasured possessions in the years ahead.

Mirabcllo CHAIRMAN'S ADDRESS Patents, Teachers, and Classmates: It is my great privilege and pleasure to welcome you to the Class Night Exercises of 1949. We are approaching the conclusion of four of the most memorable years of our lives. Here in Bulkeley High School, we have made many friendships, not only with our fellow students, but with the faculty as well. We want to express our gratitude and thanks to our teachers and parents for the patience and understanding which they have shown throughout these eventful years. Our first duty in school has been with our studiesg but we have also tried to earn a place in social and sport activities. There have been many ups and downs, but with the considerate guidance and cooperation of our teachers, we have met our numerous problems, and obtained our goal. Mr. McCrann, who became Principal in our senior year, seems to have be- longed to us much longer. He deserves much praise for the confidence and friendship he has won from the students and faculty in this, his first year at Bulkeley High School. He also deserves credit for the high standard of scholar- ship he has exacted from us, and our lasting appreciation that he understands the lighter, brighter side of extra-curricular activities. Tonight we shall endeavor to bring to you this lighter side of the past four years, and possibly a fleeting glimpse of our future years out of school. We hope you will enjoy our program. JOSEPH F. L1srRo CLASS ORATION A Modern Youth Faces His Problems juvenile deliquency has been a widely discussed topic for some time. Edu- cators, parents, and just plain people have found time to voice their viewpoints on what should be done with the present teen-agers. Many of their misdemeanors have been noted, and their actions found incredible. Something must be done, or at least that's what these people claim. With great anxiety every community vows to adjust the controversy between teen-agers and their parents. Various plans for the adjustment of this matter which these people have used have not proven satisfactory for the teen-agers or the parent. I'm aware of the fact that the present teen-ager is in a category all his own. Psychiatrists have given names to the different idiosyncrasies that a teen-ager possessesg they have also tried to explain them for the good of the public. Thus my generation has been termed rude, unsound in mind, and discourteous. What seems to be the main reason for the teen-ager's going wrong? I should answer MISTRUST. First, let's start with the teen-ager, then go into the homes and the community, and finally show how all this is affecting the world today. In each instance there seems to be a reasonable and understanding explanation of how mistrust is turning the teen-ager into the so-called problem child. 82 CLASS ORATION Boys and girls today live for the group, not as individuals. The group is what counts. Why? Because no two people seem to have enough trust in each other to permit an understanding between them that could grow into an undying friendship. Many things among students and grown-ups alike are done in groups. The word acquaintance seems to be replacing Hfriend during the past few years. It is easily seen that good friends are gradually becoming a thing of the past. A true friend is one you can turn to for help, one you can tell your troubles to, one from whom you can seek pleasure and consolation. You might say that you see your son or daughter going with the same person for some time, therefore you take it for granted that a friendship has developed. Don't be misled, it probably is only an acquaintance, for when they leave your home, they meet two, four, or five other people before they feel they can seek pleasure for the evening. Why has this come to be? Well, as I said before, these young people in their own minds do not have enough confidence or trust in anyone else to allow themselves to become good friends. They are under the false impression that someone is constantly trying to put something over on them. This keeps them fearful and unwilling to try to understand others. So then you see, everything becomes dependent upon the group or the gang. Now tell me, how can anyone tell troubles, whether they be juvenile or otherwise, to a group of people and expect their confidence to be kept secret? Surely some one out of that group is going to start a rumor around town, and in the end everybody knows everybody else's affairs. Thus gossip is born, and unsound criti- cisms spring forth about the individual or the group. Will Rogers once said, I liked everyone I ever met. Well, I'm afraid that won't be heard so frequently today. Often after two people meet for the first time nowadays, a good word is rarely heard about the other after the leave-taking. This is evil, and as an evil thing it had a beginning. Young people don't develop a characteristic overnight. This starts in childhood, and it is either allowed to grow as a part of the child's life, or it is immediately crushed by wise parents who know the harm that people can cause who lack a considerable amount of trust for others. Some parents, for some strange reason, don't trust their own offspring. Now tell me, if a parent can't trust his own child, who can? When a child, or should I say teen-ager, can't find consolation and love in his home, he will go looking for it elsewhere. It is during this search that he then comes upon these un- scrupulous people who have the power to change his attitude and reasoning habits. Parents are more than just providers. They are the children's counselors and their guides to a happy life. What good are parents if their children can't find companionship in them? When a child can't bring his problems or troubles to his parents, then those parents have failed. A minister once said, Where a child has failed, someone has failed before him. That is more than true. A youth's habits and characteristics and their proper development depend upon the parent. So you see, mothers and fathers, whatever decisions you make, be sure they are accurate and justified, because they are of great importance and may develop mistrust if given wrongly. If a child makes an error, don't punish him without a careful explanation. Start now to show your son that as parents you have confidence in him, and most of all, you trust him. The outcome might prove interesting. When his people trust him, the young son will acquire a sense of responsibility toward his parents and himself. He will feel that he owes it to them for trusting him so much. In return, his attitude toward others might be different from what it previously had been. Your unbiased decisions regard- ing the actions and problems of your child will mold his character, making him either a good or bad citizen of the home, of the community, and of the world. Some communities have tried to make the teen-ager a sound citizen by sup- plying him with various diversions, but they have failed in that they do not 83 recognize the individuality of the person. They forget that psychologically even teen-agers differ physically, and especially mentally. What I mean to explain is that these community affairs do not attract the permanent interest of the adolescent. For one or two evenings the individual appreciates the entertain- ment, then loses interest, and goes looking for new adventures. It is my opinion that these young boys and girls don't entirely trust the place, or the people in charge of the affairs, enough to let themselves relax and have a good time with the considerate help of a few thoughtful neighbors who are trying to make these boys and girls the future leaders in our world of living. This is a world that is also suffering from international troubles due to the lack of trust on the part of our diplomatic leaders. The controversy between nations has a direct bearing on the young people in our world. Seeing all the chaos because of the fact that world leaders can't agree upon a happy medium through arbitration, the teen-ager assumes that countries can't trust one another. Knowing that countries also think other na- tions are trying to put something over on them, the adolescent then too becomes weary of this controversy, and this finally helps to break down his attitude toward others who also have the same outlook. Although their mistrust might be on a smaller scale, it is still there. You see, no matter which way you look, there seems to be some kind of mis- trust. All of it has become, in some way, a part of the teen-ager and his problem. Therefore my generation needs you-vital help in adjusting this situation that is prevailing with the young people of today. Remember where a child has failed, someone has failed before him. Don't let that someone be you. Raymond H. Cashman CLASS NIGHT ESSAY Growing Up Have you looked at that grammar school .graduation picture lately? It cer- tainly must have made you exclaim, How we've changed l for the boys and girls of four years ago have crossed the bridge from childhood. Today they are young men and women, assuming more and more the decisions and re- sponsibilities of adults. Let's pause a moment to consider how high school has helped us to make this transition. We have pursued widely varied courses of studies at Bulkeleyg each had its own value. Languages, literatures, mathe- JH, if f,f, matics, history, science, business training, home economics, shop work, music, A art-what a list they make! Besides, there have been club meetings, dances, , , various sports, and part-time jobs. These four years really have been busy, and we have received much from them. Language study has given us a chance to learn about the life, the customs, and the environment of people in foreign lands, and to discover that although these people seem strange to us, all have the same basic qualities of character. ,.t. My Humans the world over believe in honesty, perseverance, courage, no matter ' ' 'S S ii i what their tongue. When falteringly trying to express ourselves in someone else's language, we have found understanding for those who have trouble with ours. Under similar circumstances, we could do no better than they. Our courses in literature have opened a new world to us, a world we shall always find friendly. We have become acquainted with many great authors, so 84 that when we meet them again, we shall recognize them as old friends. Never can we forget the characters we have met. Sidney Carton, Silas Marner, Sir Roger de Coverley, Hepzibah Pyncheon, all seem very real. The glimpses we have seen will serve as signposts to further reading, opening ever wider horizons before us. Mathematics has been the delight of some students, the despair of others. Our work with algebra, plane geometry, and trigonometry has helped to train our minds in logical thought processes, to enable us to think in a straight- forward, reasonable manner, and to be precise in all we do. No one who has studied geometric proofs and algebraic formulas for two or three years can help applying this step-by-step reasoning to other situations and problems. That is certainly useful training, too, for what we need on the part of our citizens and statesmen today is clear, straight thinking. History has given us a broader view of the world, past and present. We have seen the repeating trends of nations and governments, the problems they have faced, and the mistakes, as well as the progress, they have made. Nothing can give us a truer understanding of the world we live in now than the history of its past. We have been offered science courses of many kinds, dealing with plants, animals, human beings, chemicals, and various natural forces. To those of us who are planning to do further scientific work, these courses have given a neces- sary background, to everyone they have provided a general basic knowledge of our environment. This knowledge is, without doubt, very valuable to citizens of a nation so scientifically minded as America is today. Many of our group have been following a business course in high school. They have studied typing, shorthand, bookkeeping, business law, and other pertinent subjects. This training will enable them to find good jobs in the business world soon after graduation, where the skills they have learned will serve them well. Home economics and shop work are two other courses of practical value. After all, every woman today wants to know not only how to sew and cook, but also how to plan healthful meals and serve them graciously. Every man wants to be able to handle wood and metal working tools, even if only for his own satisfaction. Music and art, on the other hand, offer more intangible benefits. Students who have taken these subjects will always have a liner, deeper appreciation of good music and good art, for their appreciation will go hand in hand with understanding. But Bulkeley life has not been all studies. Our school spirit has been quickened time and again by thrilling sports events. We have always been proud to wear the maroon and white, and the keener the competition, the greater our enthusiasm. Dances, parties, and club activities have kept us busy and have left us with many happy memories. These have certainly given us a wonderful opportunity to develop character and personality. We have met many people, and we have had to get along with them. High school students can show no intolerance, for the whole atmosphere is intensely democratic, and everyone is evaluated on the same scale. The boy or girl who possesses a good personality, intelligence, and the will to work will get ahead, no matter what his background may be. In high school everyone of us has made many acquain- tances. Some will remain close friends for life. We have learned in the last four years to take part in group activities, to form opinions through reasoning, and to express ourselves clearly. In short, we have had our training and drill work for life, a course in Growing Up. Jeanette M. Clark 85 RECEPTION COMMITTEE I .WALTER NELSON, CHAIRMAN Louise Boyer Marion Flynn Ann M. Hurley Ann E.

Sledesky , IGYFX HESTQ PRQPHEQY ANQ WI LL INTRODUCTION Perhaps at some future time it will please you to remember these things. Seniors now, we look back over our four years--years much the same and yet each different from the preceding one. There were outstanding events we looked forward to, there were the ordinary things that happened daily. When the graduation which we have longed for becomes a reality, then our high school days will be but a wonderful memory. Time: Place : June, 1949 Freshmen Alley Setting: Tom Walsh, ambling down Freshmen Alley, meets Anita Ferola. Tom Csobbingj: Anita, what are you ' doing down here? Anita: Since I was at Burr during my fresh- man year, I never really became acquainted with the home of freshmen. Say, you came to Bulkeley as a freshman. What's the scoop on it? Tom: We invaded the halls of Bulkeley, all 253 of us, and boy, what a frightful day that September 5, 1945, was! At the time, we were all innocent little pepole. In fact, we were so innocent we asked the teachers if we could go out after lunch to play. But don't misunderstand me, Anita, we had he thrilling experience of becoming acquainted with demerit slips, getting used to finding our way around, and seeing the smiling face of Miss Schulze as she stood at her little circular desk in the library saying, Stamp your slip, please. Anita, you don't know what you missed every Thursday morning as we filed into the auditorium, looked up on the stage, and saw Miss Lane singing: Come in, come in, Come in, my little freshmen, 'Cause if you don't, You won't get your M credit. We also had our guidance classes with Mr. Fellows once a week. Ah! Memories of a Senior! To be truthful, Anita, the social aspect of our freshman year was reduced to a minimum. C'Social aspect -get those words. That's what four years at Bulkeley has done!j Seeing that we didn't go to many of the social affairs, we did, nevertheless, patronize almost all the athletic events of that year. The freshman year ended in somewhat of a hurry. Everyone was hurrying to White Sands and Sound View! Anita: Goodness, what a year! Tom: Anita, let's not carry on any further with this insignificant year. Let's climb to the higher levels-third floor! ' CLASS HISTORY Anita: The first thing that hit us right in the nose in our sophomore year was the smell of food from the cooking room. Half of the time we didn't know if it was all food or whether Mr. Ingalls had mixed a little sulphuric acid with it just to polish it off. During this year came just the answer to the faculty's prayer-more students, most of them from Burr. Tom: These students were somewhat dis- appointed when they reached Bulkeley. They kept asking, Where is the swimming pool? The only thing I could tell them to do was to go down to the boiler room on a rainy day, find the biggest puddle, and dive in. Anita: The first big event of our sophomore year came as Bulkeley beat West Haven 6-0 at Municipal Stadium. During this year, boys like Tony Mirabello, Joe Automatic Listro, Nick Flamio, Jim Gunning, Jack Banjo-Eyes Sledesky, Vask Bedrossian, Pete Bedrossian, and Ears Randazzo were struggling like beavers to make the fourth team. We finally gathered up enough courage to attend a social event or two, the first one of which was the Girls' League-Boys' Club Dance. At the least the walls couldn't cave in on us that night. The Sophomores helped hold them up. After that, there were more football games, more assemblies, more demerits, and shorter lunch periods. In fact, the lunch periods were so short that when one finally succeeded in getting the ice-cream out of the frozen boxes, the bell would ring. At last, one of the greatest social events of the year came-Torch Nite. Here we saw the talent of Bulkeley strut in front of the footlights with such people from our class taking part in the program as Connie Formica, Jean Condron, and Bud Cleary. In our sophomore year came, for many of us, our first high school formal, the Sno-Frolic. From here on in, the rest of the year be- longed to the Seniors, except for the fact that we were asked to bring our mothers and fathers to Parents' Night, which is the polite way of having your folks meet the teachers. There are other ways, you know. Ask the people who have taken unauthorized leaves of absence. Tom: Well, at the end of our sophomore year the boys were well acquainted with the soft, melancholy voice of Babe Allen as he used to say, Line up, fifty push-ups, count off. This routine went on twice a week. I think Babe gave workouts so we would take show- ers and he could sell towels. Anita: We had some gay times in Miss Tracy's gym class. How well we remember wearing ourselves out to commands like, You f , bend, and you stretch, touch your toes, and you're up. That wasn't all, either. Can't you just see us Hitting around the gym as little ballerinas, Tom? Tom: No! Anita: We left school in june with the feel- ing of being promoted, and yet demoted. You see, we were promoted to an upper class, but demoted to the second floor for session rooms. Tom: When we came back the following September, we were handed our new schedules, most of which carried us from one corner of the building to the other. Guess what the first social event of the year was-that's right, you've guessed it, the Girls' League-Boys' Club Dance. Anita: About a week before the turkey-day game, our beloved Principal, Dr. Gustave A. Feingold, was taken ill. Tom: During his illness, Dr. Robert H. Mahoney did a splendid job of upholding the scholastic standards of Bulkeley. Anita: Our school was also left without the services of Dr Jane A. Dargan during her injury and long recuperation. Tom: The most outstanding game of the football season came as Bulkeley defeated Hart- ford High 13-12 on Automatic Joe Listro's conversion. Anita: Then came the basketball season and the Dial Dance. Tom: A new Vice-Principal arrived in charge of disciplining the boys. His name-Mr. Leo M. McCrann. Mr. McCrann did his job well. I know. I was one of his first customers. Anita: Finally, the biggest event of our Junior Year came-the junior Prom. Tom: Jack Brigham was chosen as general chairman. He was ably assisted by a fine com- mittee. Anita: The most dreaded event of our four years at high school was at hand. We had heard all sorts of rumors about the T. B. tests. Tom: The seniors had been telling us about the round needles, the square needles, the long needles, the curved needles- Needles here, needles there, Needles, needles everywhere. Anita: Some even penetrated our arms. After the Tuberculin Tests, the remaining months of the year were once again the prop- erty of the seniors. As the doors of Bulkeley closed for the summer, we anxiously awaited our senior year. Tom: During the course of the summer, Bulkeley's faculty and student body mourned the death of Dr. Gustave A. Feingold, founding Principal of Bulkeley High School. Mr. Leo M. McCrann was appointed by the Board of Educa- tion as our new Principal. Anita: When we returned to Bulkeley for the final phase of our high school career, a memorial assembly in honor of Dr. Feingold was held. Tom: Here we are, down on the first floor again. We've had our ups and downs at Bulkeley! Anita: Getting things ready for the foot- ball season were Joan Rafferty and her rah! rah! girls. Bulkeley's majorettes, with Rose- marie Accanto as the only senior representaive, were also great morale boosters. This year, just to change things around a little bit, the annual Bulkeley Parents' Nite was held in November. It was felt parents and teachers could better profit by this change. Tom: Here comes the Girls' League-Boys' Club Dance again! The members of the com- mittee were Joe Yacavone, Paul Pelletier, Eugene Knorr, Joe Gionfriddo, Gene Tanasi, Mae Martinsen, and Tommy Barry. Jack and Jean were committee chairmen. Guess their last names! Anita: Bulkeley lost their first three football games, but on October 29 against Crosby High the sensational play of our senior boys helped Bulkeley start a three-game winning streak. The high-spirited Maroon traveled to New Britain and suffered a 37-7 defeat at the hands of the Red and Gold. Tom: What might be called our own Torch Nite arrived on December 10. Much talent from the senior class helped to produce a ter- rific show. Izzy Montano was general chair- man, with Joan Geary in charge of the Enter- tainment Committee. Anita: As a spectator at Torch Nite, I saw Ray Cashman do a sensational job as emcee. I heard the marvelous singing voice of Alice Michalaros, the piano duet of Jeanette Clark and Kenny Hamblett, and starring in skits were Dick Accolla, Al Ahlberg, Pat Dewell, Buzzy Bzdon, Mer Flynn, Bernie Marchut and many other talented actors and actresses. At this time the senior session rooms were going wild with voting, statistic sheets ,and fre- quent requests from the Room Treasurers for money, money, money. Tom: Then came our sensational baskeball team. Boys like Mother Rice, Jim Molloy, Charlie Wrinn, and Diddy Civitillo made Bulkeley one of the state's top teams. Anita: Banjo-Eyes Sledesky made history at Bulkeley when, in the thirteenth basketball game, he scored his first basket for old B. H. S. Tom: Half of our senior year was over now and we were looking forward to the Sno- Frolic, Senior Nite, Senior Banquet, Senior Reception, Class Night, and finally, graduation. Anita: Well, Tom, thanks for helping to bring back memories of four years at Bulkeley. Anita and Tom: We'll both remember them as the best years of our lives. Anita Ferola Thomas Walsh With heavy hearts and tear-filled eyes, we, the Testatrix and Testator of the Class of 1949, do hereby assemble and submit this, the Last Will and Testament of our departing classmates.

We, the Testatrix and Testator, with sin- cerity of purpose and mindfulness of duty, having attempted to comply with all laws heretofore passed concerning the writing of documentary forms, do hereby set our hand and seal upon these papers and declare them to be the Last Will and Testament of the Class of 1949. In witness whereof, we are: Alice M ichalaros, Testatrix joseph Rice, Testator CLASS PROPHECY Place:-Living room davenport where newly engaged couple makes plans for honeymoon. J. B. Just think, in a few months we'll be an old married couple just bummin' around like Dick Accolla and Al Ahlberg. J. YG. I don't know, Jack, do you think we should go to Niagara Falls? J. B. No!! That's only for DRIPS. I was thinking about that elite place in New York, The Forty-Ninerf, J. G. I've heard that Mickey Oliver and Jack Ihrig are giving wading les- sons in the swimming pool there to Dot Kent and Anita Valente. Maybe they swim, but you know there is a knack in learning how to wade, too. J. B. You know, if we go there, we won't be the only honeymooning grads from B. H. S. J. G. No? J. B. No.-Diane Tobias and Bob Maillett have occupied the bridal suite since last Saturday. Marie Bordonaro and Buddy Nees were maid of honor and best man. J. G. Yes, the flowers came from the Wilson Florist Shop and the bride car- ried a bouquet of McClellan roses. J. B. I heard that Diane and Bob started going together right after the Senior Dramatic Club play. And you know who else got married? J. G. I'll bet you're thinking of Betty Sullivan. According to the newspapers, she married some army general whose name is too well known to mention. J. B. By the way, they spent their honeymoon in Monte Carlo. Say-didn't I see something about Monte Carlo in Dot Cuper's paper, The Match, this morning? J. G. Yes. It seems that there was a picture taken by Malakie, Barry, and Kelley, flash photographers, of the world's famous private eye, Tom Walsh, capuring Shmoo Slayer Dangerous Daniel Dunne there. J. B. There seem to be quite a few former Bulkeleyites mentioned in this edition. Look here! Our ambassador to Poland, Bill Sullivan, has just come back to the States on the U.S.S. Bernie Marchut commanded by Captain Tommy Henson. His greatest feat was preventing a war between the Polish and the Irish, which the Polish woman dictator, Lorraine Roman, tried to start. 92 Did you see those headlines? Our delegates to the U.N., Paul Pelletier, Howard Hoyt, Ruth Hills, and Pat Toce, are having a heated debate over a world situation question, Does Marriage Usually Teach a Man a Les- son? Speaking of lessons, Diddy Civitillo and Charlie Wrinn are trying to teach Paul Montinieri and Jack Daigneault a little dancing, too. But getting back to our plans, Joan, if we do go to the 49'er, what'll we do for excitement? Well, we can always go to the theater and see that silent movie revival entitled Quiet, Please, starring Louise Motto, Lee Ferris, and Mer Flynn. You were always one for music. That's why we got along so well. What say we catch Irene Murphy in Carmen,' at the Paramount? And how about the radio program, It Pays to be Ignorantv, with Jean- ette Clark, June Kost, Ann Taylor, and Jean Overhysser? Speaking of opera reminds me that Don Manke has taken up the roman- tic profession of bull lighting. On his recent return trip from Spain, Don told me that Alice Smith was also progressing in the art of bull throwing. If we do get sick of going out, we can always settle down with a good book. You know, Anita Ferola followed up the Class History by writing a book on the atomic bomb called Murder for Millions. Getting back to The Match , did you hear about that radio soap opera, T hey Ask to be Killed , starring Mildred Crowley, Joan Glowacki, Burns and Allen, and Ken Hamblett? It's sponsored by the Betty Haslam Milk Company. You know, that Match has better ads than funnies. On the front cover there's a picture of Ears Randazzo, who's advertising his own type of ear muff. On page 3, there's a beautiful picture of the We hate to shave boys , Vask and Pete Bedrossian, posing for the Smith Brothers Cough Drops. And right below that was a picture of Lillian Coughlin and Marion Hoyt. The caption read, Which one has the Toni? I noticed one of the ads suggested a place we might go to some night when we're on our honeymoon. Mary Pugliese has opened a bar and grill, with the specialty of her Hoor show that versatile Betty Bolles, doing a pretzel bending act, with Angie Notarangelo singing hot Mamie songs on the side. Speaking of songs, did you read that Bud Cleary became an employee of Fred Waring? Singing? No, taking in laundry for the glee club. Remember how we thought B. H. S. would be so quiet after the Class of '49 graduated? Yes. Well, a few of the kids wanted to stay there to make sure that everybody stayed in high spirits. Bill Nielsen has a permanent job cleaning up the Physics Lab, Flossie Maillet is supervisor of the office help, and last but not least, that Phi Beta Kappa man, Bill DeBonis, started teaching Senior Math after Mr. Wilson retired. You know, all the news about B. H. S. can't be good. just last week, I was reading about our track star, Gene Knorr. The story goes that when he was so far ahead of the rest of the racers in the Marathon, he took a wrong turn and ended up in Goodwin Park. That place always did have its attractions. The B. H. S. wolf, Tony Mirabello, said he always found it inspiring. Bulkeley always was full of laughs. 93 Yes, there certainly was a bunch of clowns in our class, but I never thought so many of them would take it seriously. The Kilray and Cream- er Circus is in town and it's loaded with former Bulkeleyites. I was down there last week when you had your shower, and was greeted by the circus barker, Ray Cashman. Right behind him was jack DelGaudio taking tickets, and the side show was bursting with talent. Maureen Fox was a sword swallower and Suggie DiCioccio was billed as the world's greates snake charmer. One of the main attractions was the woman wrestler, Babe Partington. When I finally got a chance to get into the big top, I found Dolly Camire bareback-riding, and in the center ring, Louise Boyer and Nancy Pushe were doing a terrific trapeze act. They always were high-flying. Of course the clowns were floating all around the place, too. I found Ned Hickey, Jimmy Kerwin, and Sonny DiBattista behind three dis- guises. Patrolling his beat was policeman Bob Dion. He got the job after finding out who took the jacket from the second floor cloak room. Speaking of professions, every class has a few who go into the sports world. Jay Roberts won the U. S. Amateur Tennis championship this year, and I see that Joe Rice is going to referee the midget basketball games next winter. That reminds me, I'll have to see those two racing experts, Gene Des- sereau and Don Garvey, about getting some money for our honeymoon. They've been getting some good tips lately from jockey Paula Korder. Jack. Do you think if we have any money left we could go to Point O'Woods and see the new Mickey's , run by T. Gerald Fisher and Major Johnson? Oh, I think so. Since we know the waitresses, Joan Rafferty, Pat Dewell, and Buzzy Bzdon, maybe they'1l be able to find us a good table to see the torch singer, Betty Bostelman. She does a terrific job on I've Got You Under My Skin. It'll be a nice safe place, too. They have two strong arm bouncers. john Pignone handles the little guys and Jack Sledesky handles the big ones. Those multi-millionaires Glenna Slattery, Nelson Wood, Mary Camil- leri, Jim Molloy, and Lois Wilson are pretty generous in tipping Virgina Genio, the hat check-girl. I understand the cigarette girl, Jean Gigle, has no complaints either. And what food! The specialty' is the famous Tanasi La Pizza. You know the decorations were done by the Cianci-Cunnane painting agency, and lighting effects by the Gunning and Listro Electric Co. By the way, I suppose you'l1 want a complete overhauling? Yes. I was thinking of going to the It Modeling Agency, run by Maureen Kelley. Her models, Nancy Donlin, Mae Martinsen, Molly Frohman, and Carol Doxsee ought to be able to show me some nifty numbers. After that I thought I'd go to the Cripps and Montano Hair- dressers, because I enjoy that beauty salon quartet composed of Stella Reaside, Pat Dempsey, Alice Michalaros, and Mary Boornazian, with Doris Goodin at the piano and Marie Williams turning the pages. Shhhhhmmm. Gee, I think I hear your father on the stairs. I'd better leave now, but I'll call you in the morning. Goodnight.

H. S. students and fans will long remember the '48 squad as one of the fight- enest Maroon arrays ever to perform on the leaf-strewn turf. After being downed three times in a row, the Southenders arose and fought their way back to three consecutive, hard earned victories, thus equalling the record of their 1947 predecessors and further strengthening Bulk- eley's gridiron reputation of always being one of the tougher teams to beat. Fielding one of his most inexperienced squads in years, Coach Babe Allen had to see his team go down to three straight defeats be- +I -'YV Got 'im! fore the Maroons began their mid-season come- back. In their initial contest the Allenmen bowed to Weaver, 12 to 0, in the first of two games against the Green at Municipal Stadium. When West Haven's juggernaut came to town six days later on a rainy Friday afternoon, Bulkeley fans saw Tony Mirabello score the Maroon's first touchdown as the Southenders lost, 26 to 6. The Al1enmen's winless streak was stretched to three the next time out, as Hartford High's speedy eleven romped to a 20 to 6 victory over the Maroon and White. Then it happened. Two weeks' rest and a few changes in the starting lineup made the Maroons look like an entirely different ball club as the Southenders trounced Crosby High, 35 to 6. With Joe Cirone and Nick Flamio at the ends, John Pignone and Mule Skelley at tackle, Jim Gunning and Bernie Demonte at guard, Joe Listro at center, and Charlie Mazurek, Tony Mirabello, Ears Randazzo, Vask Bedrossian, and jack Sledesky alternat- ing in the backfield, the Allenmen clicked for the first time and scored in all four periods. joe Listro booted a record five for five place- kicks, Jack Sledesky and Ears Randazzo paced the running attack, while Mirabello, V. Bedrossian, Flamio, and Pignone also turned in sterling performances. Meeting Weaver for the second time, the Allenmen avenged their early season defeat by surprising the Green, 25 to 13.

Tony Mirabello's 75 yard, second-period touchdown run was the highlight of the next contest, as the Maroon back spearheaded the Allenmen to their third victory, a 19 to 7 con- quest of Hall High at West Hartford. Mirabello scored again in the third period, while Jack Sledesky added another six-pointer in the fourth. Charlie Mazurek, Nick Flamio, Joe Cirone, and Vask Bedrossian played outstand- ing ball for the Maroons. The Hall game was the last contest against a team of nearly equal caliber as the Maroons drew down the curtain by bowing to New Britain 37 to 7, but not before becoming the third Southend grid array to score against a Red and Gold squad. Tony Mirabe1lo's long fourth period pass to Fran Rainey and an awarded extra point added another seven to the Bulkeley total. Tony Mirabello, Joe Listro, and Mule Skelley were elected to the first string of the All- District team, and Nick Flamio gained a second string berth. Skelley received further recogni- tion as he was voted a position on the second All-State squad. Hit your man! A. fm Wray-T,.3.1: 'U' .

Rumor had it that the Maroons were headed for a good season this year, but time soon proved that this was a gross under-statement. Just a little over three months later Bulkeley students, faculty, and fans were congratulating Coach Babe Allen and his Maroon squad on the completion of not just a good season but the greatest season in Bulkeley's twenty-two year history. Paced offensively by Charlie Mazurek, Joe Rice, and Charlie Wrinn and defensively by Jack Radigan and Jim Molloy, the Southenders advanced farther in basketball prestige than any Bulkeley five yet. The Allenmen captured both the city and district titles as they estab- lished a new B. H. S. record of fifteen straight victories, losing only to New Britain in the final game of the season. The Maroon and White opened the cam- paign in spectacular fashion, literally blowing its lid off, as they trounced Meriden High, 62 to 42, for their first victory. Even more remark- able than their tough-to-crack zone defense was the shooting of the Allenmen that night. All five of the first string squad contributed to 123 f,,gdl Come to Poppa! P' 'I Swish by 32 to 28. But when unbeaten New Britain came to town the following Tuesday the Maroons were at their best. Behind by a 7-2 early in the first period, the Maple Avenue boys tossed in sixteen straight points, while holding the Red and Gold scoreless until half- way through the second period, to lead by 18 to 7. The Bulkeley defense so bottled up New Britain's Reisner and Tolis the rest of the way that the Hardware City team's offense was brought to a virtual standstill as the Maroons pulled away to win by 47 to 24 for their fifth straight victory. Charlie Wrinn was lost to the Maroons for the next six contests as the Bulkeley center came down with a severe case of mumps, and winning ball games became a much tougher task. Charlie Mazurek took over Wrinn's job at center and Diddy Civitillo covered Maz- urek's vacated forward position. Mazurek was outstanding in the next two battles as the Bulkeley junior scored 31 points when the Maroons turned back Windham 45- 42, and 28 points three days later as West Haven bowed to the Allenmen for the second time by 62 to 29. An uphill battle was the feature of the next contest as the Maroons came from behind to nip Windham 42 to 38 in the return game at the southend gym. Trinity Co1lege's huge new field house was the stamping ground of Bulkeley fans for the the 62 point total, the highest scored by a Maroon quintet in the past four years, as Charlie Mazurek tossed in 21, Charlie Wrinn 16, Joe Rice 12, and jack Radiganvand jim Molloy five each. Charlie Wrinn, with a 20 point effort, was the star of the next contest as the Southenders downed Hall, by 46 to 22. Jack Radigan was second with 10 points, while Joe Rice was third highest with eight. Victory number three saw the Maroons pass their first stiff test with ease as the Southend- ers stopped East Hartford 52 to 36. Leading by only 19-17 as the second half began the Allenmen put on a blistering 19 point scoring display in the third canto to put the game out of the Hornets' reach for good. Form suffered during the sec- ond half of the next battle saw the Southenders escape a late West Haven rally to win Steppin' high next four Fridays as the Southenders made a clean sweep of the city series to gain undis- puted possession of the city championship. The Maroons downed Hartford by scores of 33-28 and 30-25, and trimmed Weaver twice by 50-28 and 31-23. These four wins along with Tuesday night return victories over Meriden, 39 to 27, and Hall, 40 to 25, brought the Southenders' glittering string of victories up to foureen straight. Charlie Wrinn, who had returned to the Bulkeley line-up in the second Hartford battle, reached the height of his one year high school basketball career as the Maroons subdued East Hartford 49-35 before a crowd of 2100 at the Hartford Auditorium. The tall Maroon pivot man tossed'in a total of 24 points, most of them on one handed hook shots, to lead the Allen- men to a brilliant victory over the district's second place team. Jim Molloy, who hardly took a shot all night, was nothing short of ter- rific on defense, along with Joe Rice and Jack Radigan. Charlie Mazurek played his usual sterling brand of ball by contributing ten points to the Maroon's fifteenth straight triumph. This was the final victory of the regular sea- son as the Allenmen dropped the last game to New Britain in the Hardware City by 48 to 36. Off the Board Again' Reach It's Good! Nevertheless, when the state tournament began, the Maroons gained the coveted No. 1 position with a fine 15-1 record to become not only the first Bulkeley team but also the first Greater Hartford combine to gain that distinction. Bulkeley's first tourney contest produced the most exciting, heart-throbbing battle in years, a pulsating sudden death victory over New Haven Commercial. Behind by 42-39 with only a minute and a half left, things looked black for the Maroons as Commercial tried to put on the stall. A few seconds later with the entire Arena crowd on its feet, Jack Radigan cut the lead to 42-40 as he converted his second free throw of the evening. Then with only six sec- onds left, Charlie Wrinn grabbed a rebound off the board, stepped away from the basket and tossed in his pet overhead hook shot to send the game into the first three minute overtime. Com- mercial again got the jump on the Allenmen to lead by 43-46, but Wrinn again connected and Rice tossed in a foul to send the game into its second overtime, this one a sudden death period as pandemonium reigned in the Arena. Forty-seven tense seconds passed by in this final stanza before Jim Molloy, standing in front of the Commercial goal, tossed to Joe Rice in the corner and the Bulkeley Captain let go with the set-shot that sent the Maroons into the quarter-finals. The following Thursday another first was added, as Bulkeley gained the semi-finals by defeating New Haven Hillhouse's defending champions 37 to 26. Charlie Mazurek turned in a brilliant performance to lead the Maroons to their final victory with 15 points. In its next contest the Hghting Maroon five bowed out of the tournament, losing to East Hartford by 44 to 37 in another hard fought battle. The greatest team in Bulkeley's history, Charlie Mazurek, Charlie Wrinn, Joe Rice, Jack Radigan, Jim Molloy, and its reserves, f'Diddy Civitillo, Jack Sledesky, Pete Pinchera, Felix Karsky, and Bob Smih, will long be remembered both for its fine brand of basketball and its great sense of sportsmanship both on and off the basketball court.

I W f F 3 3 5 3 4 Y ,.v4n-4vq-4r-p- -4- 14 r CROSS-COUNTRY The year 1948 marked another addition to Bulkeley's growing athletic program, because for the first time in its history the south-end school was repre- sented by a cross-country team. Under the direction of Flash Atlin, the new fall sport received a hearty welcome, as approximately twenty-five boys answered the call for the first week's practice. For this initial year Coach Atlin scheduled four regular opponents, and entered the Maroons in the seventeenth annual State Meet at Wesleyan University. For their first race of the season the Atlinmen met Hartford High and Middletown in a triangular contest at Keney Park. Bulkeley finished third with 51 points, while Hartford took the meet with 21, and Middletown was second with 48. Tommy Leonard, Sebastian Gallo, Erle Devins, Eugene Knorr, and Paul Pelletier scored for the southenders, with Leonard finishing first in third position. Journeying to East Hartford, the Maroons proved that they had learned something from their first meet, as they trounced East Hartford 17 to 38. The Atlinmen swept four of the first five places as Charlie Cables, Subby Gallo, Anthony Bray, and Erle Devins came in first, second, fourth, and fifth respec- tively. After losing to Weaver by a mere point, 27 to 28, the Maroons took the measure of the Trinity Freshmen as they downed the college team by 20 to 35 in their last contest before the state meet. At Wesleyan, the Atlinmen surprised everyone as they came in fourth out of a field of 21 schools. Tommy Leonard was the first Bulkeley entrant to finish, as he crossed the line in the 11th out of 145 positions. Behind Leonard came Charlie Cables, 13th, Subby Gallo, 23rdg Anthony Bray, 39th, Gene Knorr, 56th, Paul Pelletier, 57th, and Erle Devins, 59th. With all but three members returning next fall, Bulkeley's second cross- country season should see a lot more maroon-clad runners crossing the finish line first. 128 Charles Cables f ' L -64 SWIMMING TEAM January and February of 1949 marked the third season for the young Bulkeley Swimming Team. This year found live letter men back to bolster the Maroon and White squad which began its aquatic labors early in December. Under the expe- rienced eye of Coach Flash Atlin, who organized the team in 1947, twenty-odd prospective Ducks churned the water at Moylan and Burr School pools, cutting down waist lines and racing times, until, on Jan. 12, after a month's conditioning, they opened the season in an aquatic battle with Bristol High School. In this, the first of nine hard fought meets, the Maroons bowed in a 39-36 defeat, then they went on to win four of the remain- ing contests while losing five, including their initial setbacks. The following are the seniors on the swim squad: Eugene Knorr, backstroker, and 'Mickeyw Oliver, diver, both participants in the Connecticut and New England championship meets, Jay Roberts and Major Johnson, free stylersg John Ihrig and Paul Pelletier, advocates of the breast stroke. Special honors should go to our two stellar divers-Allen Stenberg and Mickey Oliver. Throughout the past three sea- sons, a Bulkeley diver has captured first place in every meet, and the diving duo of Stenberg and Oliver upheld that tradition in fine style this year. Thus the 19499 Ducks leave behind them three expe- rienced letter men, their founder and mentor, Flash Atlin, and prospects of increasing success for our Bulkeley swimming team in the seasons ahead.
